B'omarr Registry
this impressive tome was maintained by the B'omarr Monks, and was regularly updated with the names of those monks who had achieved enlightenment. Included with each entry was information on the philosophical issues each monk had dedicated their thoughts to, along with some of their personal ponderings and ideas. (GMR7)

B'omarrian Palace
this was the name sometimes attributed to Jabba the Hutt's vast palace found on the planet Tatooine. It was used because the palace was originally built by the B'omarr Monks who settled on Tatooine, before Jabba took over the grounds and had Derren Flet devised extensive renovations. (BF4)

Bomat
a flesh-eating, scavenger-like pest found on the planet Aruza. (TBH)

Bombaasa
this was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)

Bombaasa Cartel
this was the name of the criminal organization founded by Crev Bombaasa in Kathol Sector. It was a small, shadowy organization that rumored to have been allied with Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne. During the early years of the New Republic, the Cartel was actually the primary government of the planet Pembric II, being the strongest of the criminal organizations on the planet. (DARK)

Bombaasa, Crev
this vicious Corellian crimelord ran much of the illegal operations in the farther reaches of Kathol Sector from a base on Pembric II. Despite his tendancy toward violence, Bombaasa was nevertheless quite cultured. Sometimes described as "beetle-like" in his appearance, Bombaasa was a short, pudgy man with thin limbs and bulging eyes, who surrounded himself with bodyguards while paying much of the Pembric Security Legion force from his own coffers. During their search for Jorj Car'das, Lando Calrissian and Mara Jade managed to foil an assassination attempt on Bombaasa's life. They refused direct repayment, instead deferring the reward to Talon Kaarde. Kaarde later used it to secure passage to Exocron during his own search for Car'das. After the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant signed their peace treaty, Bombaasa went to work for the Hutts' overseeing operation in the Tynnani and Bothawui systems. Despite his affiliations with the Hutts, Bombaasa shared information about the Yuuzhan Vong's plans for Tynna and Bothawui with Talon Karrde. He claimed to be simply "looking out for number one," but asked Karrde to make sure that the New Republic knew that he was supporting their efforts. When the Yuuzhan Vong finally surrendered to the Galactic Alliance at Coruscant some five years after their invasion began, Bombaasa was one of many members of the galaxy's underworld to retire from criminal life and pursue more legitimate goals. The galaxy needed to be rebuilt, and there were too many honest ways to make a living. (DARK, VOF, JE, UF)

Bombaasa, Ulfor
this man was a regular patron of the Galaxies Opera House, during the final years of the Old Republic. (DAG)

Bombard
one of the two Victory-class Star Destroyers which were deployed to eradicate the Eyttyrmin Batiiv pirates. (SWSB)

Bombard Squadron
an Imperial Navy division consisting of two torpedo spheres, a skirmish line of starships, and a line of pursuit ships. In total, up to 28 ships make up a Bombard Squadron. They were assigned to planets which had successfully overcome Imperial control, and had a strong military presence. The Bombard Squadron would then lay siege to the world, overtaking the rebellious inhabitants more quickly than a prolonged ground assault. (ISB)

Bombarde
this game of chance was developed aboard the luxury gambling ship Cal Ambre. Each game of Bombarde involved shooting a captured asteroid at the large planetoid Rove, using the Cal Ambre's mass drive weapon. The moon was electronically overlayed with a gridwork pattern, and the asteroids were fired at a random location on the grid. Bets were placed on the exact location of the impact on Rove, and odds were historically updated with each round of play. (CRO)

Bombassa
this was one of the most common surnames found among the human population of Corellia. (GMR9)

Bombassa, Crev
see Bombaasa, Crev (UF)

Bomblet Generator
this was an unusual form of missile launcher, developed by the Feeorin mercenary Nym during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Outwardly, it resembled a huge, double-barreled turbolaser cannon. However, instead of firing coherent bolts of energy, the bomblet generator launched a series of energy bombs which were created shortly before firing. What the weapon lacked in range, it made up for in sheer destructive power. What made the bomblet generator even more destructive was the fact that, as long as the onboard power systems were still functioning, it never ran out of ammunition. (CRBN, NEGV)

Bomis Koori IV
see Bomis Korri IV (SWDB)

Bomis Korri IV
this Mid Rim world was the center of a group of planets that were once controlled by the Corporate Alliance. During the build-up to the Clone Wars, Bomis Korri IV and its surrounding planets were dominated by droid production facilities that produced a large fraction of the battle droids use by the Separatists during the Clone Wars. The planet was the site of General Oro Dassyne's main fortress, until Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi infiltrated the stronghold and destroyed its shield generator. With the main fortess undefended, the clone troopers accompanying the Jedi had no trouble defeating Dassyne's forces and taking control of Bomis Koori IV for the Republic. (SWDB)

Bomlas
this Ychthytonian smuggler tended bar on Skip 1, in the Smuggler's Run. He has lost one of his arms in a particularly savage sabacc match, and declined a prosthetic replacement. Even still, Han Solo considered his one of the fastest bartenders he ever saw. There is a caret over the 'o' in Bomlas' name. (TNR)

Bomminde
this was one of the most powerful Advozsec families, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Bomminde family managed to survive the Yuuzhan Vong attack on Riflor simply because of the fact that they lived on Tejrivozs. (GMR4)

Bomo Greenbark
this Nosaurian encountered Jedi Master Dass Jennir in the jungles of his homeworld of New Plympto, shortly after the command was given to execute Order 66. With the Clone Wars over and the Jedi on the run, Bomo found himself torn between killing Jennir outright and learning about how the Jedi had escaped from the clone troopers who turned on him. Bomo later admitted that having a Jedi around was beneficial, since the clone troopers were still attacking Nosaurians. However, that left Bomo with a lot of explaining to do when he brought Jennir back to his camp. (RIU)

Bomodon
an alien race. (TME)

Bomu
this was a Rodian clan known for their willingness to hunt anything - or any being - that crossed the clan's path. They were also known for their seemingly endless supply of soldiers, and the knowledge that "there will always be more Bomu" was both a blessing and a curse to many underworld beings. Many members of the Bomu clan went to work for the Anjiliac kadijic, which employed them to carry out some of the dirty work required by Popara the Hutt and his children, Zonnos and Mika. (TF, WOTC)

Bona nai kachu
this Huttese phrase literally meant "You're in trouble now." (GMR5)

Bonadan
the primary planet in the Bonadan System, in the Corporate Sector, Bonadan had its natural resources systematically drained by the Corporate Sector Authority. Its once-beautiful landscape was scorched and barren from years of strip-mining, pollution, and mismanagement. Bonadan was one of the Authority's most prominent factory worlds, and had ten spaceports to effectively move its resources off-planet. A large Security Police force was stationed there, to keep an eye on the incredibly dense population. Weapons were not allowed on the planet, and newcomers were thoroughly scanned before landing. An Authority Merchant Marine academy was also based there. It was on Bonadan that Shug Ninx recovered a mile-long section of the first Death Star prototype, which he later used in his repair facility on Nar Shaddaa. Bonadan was also the site of an Alderaanian embassy, one of two such embassies recognized by the New Republic. The other was located on Coruscant. (HSR, DE1, DE2, XW, SOL)

Bonadan Blasters
this was one of the galaxy's most popular - and most franchised - shockball teams, during the early years of the New Order. (CSA)

Bonadan Cough
this mildly contagious afflication originated on the planet Bonadan, and caused sufferers to endure a hoarse cough and deep fatigue. (GCG)

this was the primary embassy building maintained by the government of Bonadan, on the planet Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was located near the Novaplex Hotel. (IWE2)

Bonadan Heavy Industries
based on Bonadan, this was one of the many subsidiaries of TaggeCo. (CSA)

Bonadan Spaceport Southeast II
Bonadan's largest spaceport, Bonadan Spaceport Southest II boasted a huge lounge that was covered by a transparent dome, allowing its occupants an unobstructed view of the spaceport's traffic. Thousands of ships and suborbital vessels passed through the spaceport on any given day, making this spaceport one of the busiest ports in the entire Corporate Sector. The size of the spaceport rivaled that of many large cities throughout the galaxy. (HSR)

Bonadon
this small corporation produced a number of tractor beam generators for light duty aboard freighters and independent transports. (PP)

Bonaka Nueno
this city, located on the planet Intuci, was razed by Sonopo Bomoor. Most of its inhabitants were killed in the attack, in a mass execution in Bonaka Square. Kosh Kurp was a native of the city, and was kept alive by Bomoor in order that he could serve as a living witness to Bomoor's power and greatness. Kurp never forgot, and searched for Bomoor for the rest of his life. (JTH)

Bonapa
this Huttese verb was used to indicate displeasure or incredulousness, depending on context, and indicated that something should stop or come to an end. An example of its usage was "Bonapa keesa pateeso," which translated into Basic as "You had better stop your friend's gambling." (E1A14)

Bondar
this was one of the many crystals used by the ancient Jedi Knights in the construction of a lightsaber. It was believed to have given the wielder the ability to stun an opponent with the blade, helping to put a quick end to a possibly dangerous fight. Bondar crystals were mined from an asteroid that once orbited the planet Alderaan. (KOTOR)

Bondara
this was one of the many Twi'leki clans which were native to the planet Ryloth. In the Twi'leki language, the clan's name meant "carefree" or "easy". (GCG)

Bonded Armor
an incredibly strong material made by molecularly bonding two sections of metal armor plating. (ROJR)

Bonderium
this Lambda-class shuttle was stolen by the Alliance, and was used by the agents who attempted to recover the datapacks taken from Dankayo by the Elusive. The agents tried to disable the Elusive, but were unable to immobilize the ship before it could jump to hyperspace. (SH)

Bondo
this large being was the jovial leader of the Jinda, living on the Forest Moon of Endor during the years leading up to the Battle of Endor. (ECAR)

Bondu
this was the name of a legendary Twi'lek hero. (GCG)

Bonduna
this was one of the many Twi'leki clans which were native to the planet Ryloth. In the Twi'leki language, the clan's name referred to the descendents of the legendary hero Bondu. (GCG)

Bond-wife
this is the name used to describe the first wife of a Cerean male. The ratio of Cerean males to females it one to twenty, so in addition to the bond-wife many Cerean males take several honor-wives. The relationship between the bond-wife and the honor-wives is often strained, especially when it comes to the bearing of children. (PTR)

Bone Gnasher
this large, vicious, spider-like creature was native to the underground caves of the planet Tatooine. Some of the internal glands of the bone gansher were used to create deadly poisons. (SWGAL)

Bonearm, Dace
this man worked as a bounty hunter during the years prior to the Battle of Yavin, and was most often seen in the company of IG-72. (TME, WOTC)

Boneglass Canyon
this jagged ravine was located on the planet Sriluur, and ran some twenty-five kilometers between Dnalvec to the northern end of the Copper Coast. (GORW)

Bonegnawer
a flying predator native to Tatooine, the bonegnawer was a large, colorful bird with a beak structure that could crush stone over time. This trait allowed the bonegnawer to dig into the sandstone and root out cliffborer worms and large rodents. Large specimens of bonegnawers have been documented as bringing down young banthas as prey, using their powerful beaks and ferocious, diving attacks to cut the tendons of the bantha's legs in order to hobble it. Because of their abilities and their beauty, bonegnawers were symbols of power, courage, and strength to Sandpeople and other natives of the planet. (SWN, ANT)

Bonemer
a synthetic material used to replace, repair, or augment natural bone tissue. (LCS)

Bonepicker
a derogatory term used to describe the Skrilling race, given because of the scavenging nature of that race. (GG12)

Bonepit
this was the name given to the traditional burial ground of a Sakiyan clan. It was considered sacred ground, and each clan guarded their bonepit diligently. (MJH)

Bonestar Pirates
this group of Corellian rogues was once led by Loka Hask. During this time, they were pursued by the Corellian Security forces for several crimes. An interstellar chase resulted in the pirates landing on Gus Treta to create a diversion. The diversion involved the destruction of a fuel depot, owned by the Antilles family. The devastation, caused when the pirates lifted off while still coupled to the fuel dispensers, destroyed the Antilles' depot and killed Jagged and Zena Antilles. Wedge Antilles was safely off the station when the "accident" occurred. He and Booster Terrik pursued the pirates, destroying their ship and leaving them for dead. (XWPA)

Boneworm
this creature lived on the planet Necropolis, where it fed on the bone marrow of dead bodies. The boneworms will also feed on a living being's bone marrow, if the being remained still too long. Boneworms were one of the few species which were indigenous to Necropolis, and were very plentiful. The Necropolitan reverence for their dead meant that boneworms found plenty of food in the buried bodies found in cemetaries, especially after early Necropolitans tried to exterminate them. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Doctor Evazan discovered that the slime of the boneworm was the missing ingredient to his own reanimation serum, and allowed him to bring recently-dead bodies back to life as zombies. Once a body was injected with the serum and interred in the Necropolis cemetary, the boneworms would begin eating at them. When the serum came into contact with their slime, the body was reanimated when the bones are drained of marrow by the boneworm and backfilled with the serum which is in the body's veins. (GOF2, ANT)

Boneyard, The
this curiously large pile of bones was located on the planet Iego, just north of the Scatter. Despite the small stature of both the Diathim and the Maelibi, the bones found in the Boneyard were immensely huge, and seemed incongruous when viewed in comparison with other such bonepiles. The skeletons found in the Boneyard actually resonated with the songs of the Maelibi who lived below it, giving the Boneyard an eerie, musical backdrop. It was rumored that an ancient Star Dragon lived in the canyons north of the Boneyard. (WOTC, GORW)

Bonga
this small, round fruit was native to the planet Pavo Prime. (SWI67)

Bongo
this was the Gungan name for a small submersible vehicle. The Gungans literally grew several forms of bongo subs from organic material. Different designs were created for traveling beneath the surface of the planet Naboo, out of site of the native human population. Each bongo resembled an ocean creature, as the Gungan designers drew inspiration from squid and skates. The passenger and cargo compartments are sealed from the surrounding water by small, hydrostatic force fields, using the same technology employed to create Gungan cities. Despite their uniqueness, most bongos employed control systems which were fairly standard. The bongo sub was propelled by a grouping of long, tentacle-like devices - known as electromotive tentacles - which hung behind the bongo and rotated, providing propulsion. Most personal-use bongos were of the tribubble configuration, measuring about 15 meters in length, including the drive tail, and could reach speeds of 85 kilometers per hour. They had seating for three, which included the pilot and two passengers. Up to 600 kilograms of cargo could be stored in two modules, and an escape pod was often included for use in case of emergency. In order to be able to surface in case of emergency, bongos were equipped with special hydrostatic chambers that were silled with spongelike material. In order to dive, these chambers were filled with heavy oil, which the sponge readily absorbed. These chambers could then be purged of the oil, allowing the bongo to rise. (SW1, IG1, E1A9, IWE1, NEGV)

Bongo Rally, The
this annual, underwater race was staged by the Gungans. Originating in Lake Umberbool, the Bongo Rally course was a large, water-fillde tube that wound through the waters of Naboo. The two-kilometer course was filled with loops, turns, and plorkscrew tunnels, and the tube in which the races moved was just wide enough for two bongos. (E1A12)

Bongomania
this was the term used to describe the incredible rise in the popularity of bongo racing on the planet Naboo, in the years which followed the Battle of Naboo. As word spread of the Gungan role in defeating the Trade Federation, beings from across the galaxy became interested in the sport. In many ways, the rise in popularity of bongo races was the precursor to the decline in podracing, although the two sports were similar in many ways. (GMR4)

Bongomeken Collective
this was the original affiliation of Gungan bongo builders, more than 3,000 years before the Battle of Naboo. Like most Gungan groups at the time, the Collective remained a separate entity from the rest of the Gungan clans, but they refused to choose sides in the struggle. However, after Boss Rogoe used deception and force to destroy Otoh Sancture, the Collective was convinved by Marsune to ally itself with Boss Gallo, in an effort to unite the Gungan people. Over time, this group evolved to form the Otoh Gunga Bongomeken Cooperative. (GB)

Bongu
this Huttese term is the word for "shoulder." (IS1)

Bonion
the planetary governor of the planet Obinipor. (WS)

Bonmi
this was a common component used to create the names given to Cerean males. In general, male Cereans given an individual name, which is added to the names of their father and grandfather. Complete male names are arranged based on harmony and cadence, but the literal meanings are arranged to ensure proper descriptions. The name Bonmi meant sunset, twilight, or could be generally used to indicate gloom. (GCG)

Bonn, Janus
this Imperial Captain was a native of the planet Corulag, and the son of a wealthy Imperial noble. He attended the best schools, and volunteered for service to the Empire immediately upon graduation. He rose through the ranks until he was named as an assistant to Darth Vader himself. Bonn was assigned by Darth Vader to watch over the remains of the planet Alderaan, in hopes of capturing sympathetic members of the Alliance as part of Operation Yavin Kill Two. When Vader began circulating rumors that the Royal Palace of Alderaan had been preserved in the asteroid field of Alderaan's remains, Bonn was ordered to pay special attention for the presence of Leia Organa. Unfortunately for Vader and Bonn, the primary rumors about the existence of Asteroid 7785 were intercepted before they reached Leia Organa. A team of Alliance agents on the Ithorian herdship Bazaar heard them first and decided to investigate. Bonn's forces managed to corner them, but the Alliance fought off Bonn's troopers and managed to recover the Another Chance before it fell into Imperial hands. (GA)

Bonna Noot
this male Duros was one of a handful of beings who regularly got together to play sabacc at The White Door cantina, in the city of Akmalla, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. He often played with Lar-Odo and Jokot. (WOA35)

this petite female was employed by TransGalMeg Industries on Narg, as a member of their Personal Satisfaction Division. She had long black hair. (TA)

Bonod
this man was once the King of Velmor, until he mistakenly activated an energy sword which had fallen in the mud. The plasma-generating power cells short-circuited, pouring huge amounts of energy into Bonod's body and killing him instantly. (PH)

Bont
this thug and his partner, Kerner, terrorized the city of Gadrin, on Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. They rode a pair of modified speeder bikes through the jungles surrounding the city, preying on anyone who strayed into the wilderness. Both Kerner and Bont were killed when they tried to attack the group of freelance agents who were investigating the rise to power of the Metatheran Cartel. The two were unprepared to have their prey fight back, and both were killed in fiery explosions. (EOS)

Bonton, Elio
this gambler was known throughout Tapani Sector for his flambouyant lifestyle and entertaining personality. He was adored by the youth of the sector's noble Houses, but was despised by the elder statesmen of the sector who believed he was distracting their children. (LOE)

Boog
this grumpy near-human served as the co-pilot of the Port-Esta Queen, until she carried Abal Karda to Star Station 12. Boba Fett tracked Karda to the Port-Esta Queen and tried to obtain information on Karda's whereabouts. When Boog tried to drop a crate of kneebs on Fett, Fett simply broke the fall and escaped to shoot Boog dead. His Captain, a bald alien with spots on his head and long, droopy mustaches, told Fett everything before being spared by the bounty hunter. (EOE)

Book of Anger, The
the first volume of the Dark Side Compendium, this work by Emperor Palpatine was derived from several sources: fallen Jedi, the Jedi Holocron he stole from Ashka Boda, and the collected works of primitive magicians. It describes the ways that a Dark Jedi can use and control anger to make him stronger and more aggressive. Much of the volume's writing centered on the merger of political theory with Sith doctrine. (DE1, NEGC)

Book of Law, The
the source of the Singing Mountain clan's basic tenets. The book was created by Allya to describe the ways in which the women of Dathomir should use their power. Foremost among the laws is the tenet, "Never concede to evil." Over time, other women leaders and even other clans modified the book for their own use. If a woman ever broke the laws Allya created, she was exiled from her tribe. The woman could be given a chance to rejoin her group if, after three years in the wilderness, she agreed to once again take up the laws in the book. (CPL, CTD)

Book of Practical Lightsaber Technique
published by Novacron Press (book listing 162.S*D/3/r^6.56), this tome was written by the Jedi Master Vo'ren Faalo. Faalo had developed a series of practice routines that sharpened a Jedi's control of the Force while wielding a lightsaber. Faalo described a series of cadences in which the student used steel ball bearing set atop candles. The student had to cleave the steel balls in half without melting the candles. The cadences ranged from a single steel ball and candle to hundreds, and required intense concentration. (GG9)

Book of Shadows, The
this was the heavily-modified version of The Book of Law which was created by Gethzerion, after she was exiled from her clan. Gethzerion taught her followers that Allya had written the original book after she was old and weak, and that the laws she set down were for her own benefit, and not that of the other sisters. This book taught the use of what Gethzerion later called Shadow Magic. (CTD)

Book, The
this was a slang term used by agents of the Old Republic's Intelligence agency to describe the operating manual its agents are trained to use. Many rookie agents quickly learn that The Book and its content are primarily guidelines to be used when in the field, although pratical experience often took precedence when sudden changes in plan occurred. (SWI73)

Bookchip
a datachip on which is recorded a story or volume. (AS)

Books of Massassi
a series of tablets recovered from a collapsed underground passage by the Jedi students on Yavin 4 following the Battle of Endor. Streen took the task of deciphering them, and had completed sixteen of them when Luke Skywalker left for Lucazec. The tablets revealed that the Massassi measured themselves against the natural world and found themselves lacking. They had achieved domination of the jungle moon, but saw that they were insignificant when compared to the rest of the galaxy. Thus, they continued to strive for perfection, and fell victim to the Dark Side of the Force. (BTS)

Bool
this insect was native to the planet Nedij. Its immature grubs were a favored food of the Nediji, and a synthesized version of the bool grub was created for those times when a Nediji was away from their homeworld. (MJH)

Bool
this was one of the more common Kel Dor surnames. Its meaning translated into Basic as "herder". (GCG)

Boolarg
this YT-1210 freighter was owned by the Sullustan smuggler Gaber Rollobad, until it was shot down by Imperial forces over Corellia. (CCW)

Boolon
this was one of the most common male names used by members of the Ithorian race. Although most Ithorian names were not used for a specific meaning, historians found that this name referred to a large Ithorian bird that was known for its loud call. (GCG)

Boolon
this large bird, native to the planet Ithor, was known for its loud call. (GCG)

Boom
this diminutive Guudrian was recruited as a crewmember of the FarStar by Krudar. However, Boom's continual experimentation with fire - and the destructive results of those experiments - soon began to grate on the crew's collective nerve. They managed to keep Boom at bay by providing him with small flame devices to deflect his pyromania. (DARK, KR)

Boom Boom
this Gungan served Mix Liddell as one of his deputies in Bartyn's Landing, on the planet Lamaredd, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. After Liddell hired a group of freelancers to track down the Menahuun, he ordered Boom Boom to accompany them. Several hours after leaving The Landing, Boom Boom was shot and killed by a blaster from a hidden Menahuun soldiers as he maneuvered his swoop through the jungle. (GMR7)

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

Boonfavor
according to the Ammuud Code, a boonfavor was an agreement between two members of the seven ruling families of Ammuud, in which one chooses to do something for the other. The Code demands that the boonfavor be reciprocated at a future time, although no exact recompense need be specified at the time of the original favor. (HSR)

Boonta
this noted Hutt crimelord rose to power on the planet Ko Vari. When he died, many Hutts believed that Boonta had not simply stopped living, but had been welcomed into the state of godhood. To honor his ascendancy, the Boonta Eve holiday was created. The planet Ko Vari was also renamed Boonta, in his honor. (DM111)

Boonta
a planet known for its organized speeder races, Boonta was also the site of an orbiting scrap yard. For many centuries, the planet was known as Ko Vari. It was later renamed Boonta in honor of Boonta the Hutt. Many sports historians believed that the Boonta Eve Classic podrace originated on this planet, before gaining prominence on Tatooine. Sise Fromm employed Boba Fett to eliminate Thall Joben during a race there, but the attempt was foiled when a bomb - planted by Fromm's gang - was exploded near Fett's speeder. Fett, angry that he had missed a chance to kill Joben, took Fromm and his gang hostage and turned them over to Jabba the Hutt. (DCAR, EGC, DM111)

Boonta Cup
this award was given to the winner of the annual Boonta Eve Classic podrace, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (E3N)

Boonta Eve
this Hutt holiday was celebrated each year on Tatooine. Many of the festivities, including the Boonta Eve Classic podrace, were hosted by Jabba the Hutt. (SW1)

Boonta Eve Classic
this podrace was one of the Outer Rim's premier events, and pitted the best racers on the circuit against each other along a course filled with rocky obstacles. The longest and most popular race on the pro circuit, "The Boonta" was run annually on the Mos Espa podracing course. The race began in Mos Espa Arena, and wound past some of Tatooine's most famous landmarks, including the Great Pit of Carkoon, Arch Canyon, Jag Crag Gorge, and Beggar's Canyon. Like the Ando Overland, the Boonta Eve Classic was heavily funded by the Desilijic clan of Hutts. Because of this, both races were postponed indefinitely when Zorba the Hutt was arrested on Kip, due to the lack of funding being provided by the Hutts. (SW1, TPM, RAC, HNN4)

Boonta Speeder Race
this race was staged for landerspeeder drivers on the planet Boonta, during the early years of the New Order. (DCAR, OWS)

Boordist
the language spoken on Boordii. (TLC)

Boorka
this Hutt crimelord was one of the galaxy's primary information dealers, during the last decades of the Old Republic. He was one of the few non-military beings who knew about the development of the Decimator, having learned of it from one of his informants, Bogeega Bu'Daay. Boorka saw an opportunity to line his coffers with credits, and contacted the Conferedacy of Independent Systems with an offer to turn the Decimator information over to them. His ties to the Separatists earned him a place of the Old Republic's wanted lists during the height of the Clone Wars, but he was unaware that the Jedi Knights already had an individual inside his organization. Echuu Shen-Jon managed to get close enough to Boorka to reveal his presence, before killing the Hutt and ending his connection to the Separtists. It was later rumored that Shen-Jon had been paid by Boorka's chief rival, Jabba the Hutt, to eliminate the crimelord. (GBC)

Boorn, Keog
an Imperial scout, Boorn surveyed most of the Sluis Sector. He started to survey the planet Dagobah, hoping to follow up on the expedition of Halka Four-Den and determine the usefulness of Dagobah as a colony world. Boorn nearly discovered the location of the beckon call left possibly there by some unknown Dark Jedi (later discovered by Luke Skywalker). However, the ancient Jedi Master Yoda scared him away, much the same way Obi-Wan Kenobi frightened the Tusken Raiders away from Luke Skywalker on Tatooine. (HTSB)
