Urhal
this man served as a Commander in the Army of the Republic during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Stationed aboard the Halleck, Commander Urhal was forced to assume command when Captain Trent was seriously injured during the mission to extract Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Depa Billaba from Haruun Kal. (SHPT)

Ur-Hierarch
this was the name used to describe the leader of the ancient Il Madri religion. (GMR9)

Uri
this Gotal worked as an enforcer at Merl's cantina on Centares, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (WOA32)

Uriah

Urias
this given name was common human males across the galaxy. (GCG)

Uridia
this was one of the many lifeless moons which orbited the single gas giant in the Uridia System. Much of the moon's surface was strip-mined of uridium during the Old Republic, although a huge explosion at one of the mines destroyed nearly thirty percent of the moon's matter some 32 years before the Battle of Hoth. The moon was abandoned until the Empire took notice of it. Under the auspices of the Ando Project, they established a secret base where they planned to use Andoan mineral-fish to extract the volatile uridium. In order to protect the lab, the Empire surrounded the moon with a network of sixteen DTX satellites. (SWJ11)

Uridium
this volatile ore was found in trace quantities on the moon of Uridia. It was refined to enhance the effects of laser weapons, but was dangerous to handle. (SWJ11)

Uriek
a planet. (JQ4)

Uri-Los
this young A'Mar boy was part of the group which participated in the Beastlord's Hunt that took place during the Galactic Civil War, just before Olianna was required to take part in The Vigil. During the hunt, Jeg was injured, and tradition held that the group could not seek aid from their fellow A'Mar. However, as Olianna was protected by a group of off-world adventurers, Uri'Los approached the adventurers and asked for help. Uri-Los and his companions realized that Jeg could be saved by drinking from the Wellspring, but this would also violate the basic laws of The Vigil and possibly shut off the Wellspring forever. Uri-Los agreed to keep any violation a secret, so long as Jeg was healed. In the end, the adventurers used more traditional medicines to keep Jeg alive until the night had passed. (WOA31)

Uris

Urkreg
this was a name that was common among the Sanyassan race. (UANT)

Urkupp

Urman Nakk
this Warrant Officer was part of the New Republic remnant which set up a temporary base on Borleias, in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. Officer Nakk was assigned to the base's Security team. (EL2)

Urno
this young Balawai boy was one of five children rescued by Mace Windu from a lava flow in the jungle of Haruun Kal, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, when he traveled to the planet to locate Depa Billaba. The children, led by Terrel Nakay, had been trying to return to their camp in a steamcrawler when it was caught by the lava. Urno, his brother Nykl, along with Keela and Pell Nakay, were taken in by Nick Rostu, after Windu left them to seek out answers in the jungle. (SHPT)

Urnon Mossu
this Duros was a member of the Blank Look Gang during the last years of the Old Republic. He served as the gang's chief pilot, and was considered something of a hotshot speeder pilot during his career. When the Gang stole a collection of ancient Twi'leki pottery from the Galactic Museum, it was Urnon's abilities to steer an airspeeder that helped them escape the immediate vicinity. However, he was unable to skaee the pursuit dispatched by Ket Durgo and the Museum's security force, and Urnon was forced to crashland the speeder at the Royal Icqui Aquaria. (WOA21)

Urnsor'is
this unusual race of parasitic creatures was discovered on the planet Kashyyyk, several years before the onset of the Clone Wars, although it was unknown whether they were native to the planet or not. An Urnsor'is egg was discovered by an adolescent Wookiee of the Myyydril tribe, and was allowed to hatch in their caves. The young creature, which resembled a large brain that moved about on a collection of tentacles, fled the Wookiee caves and found its own cave, where it seemed to spontaneously lay more eggs. These hatched over time, until they were discovered by the Myyydril Wookiees. These Wookiees witnessed their comrades being captured by the Urnsor'is, with the parasite latching itself onto the Wookiee's skull and feeding on them. The Wookiees named the creatures Urnsor'I which meant "mind pod" in their language. The Wookiees believed that the Urnsor'is were sentient, especially after the Urnsor'is began purposely capturing and killing more Wookiees. The Wookiees tried to fight back, but normal weapons seemed ineffective against the Urnsor'is. Only Nak'tra Crystals seemed to able to kill Urnsor'is. (SWGAL)

Uro-Ik V'alh Battleship
this was the basic Yuuzhan Vong battleship, measuring some 2,240 meters in length and armed with eighty plasma projectors and many dovin basals. When fully staffed, the Uro-ik V'alh had a crew of 1,640 warriors. The ship was capable of transporting up to 3,150 troops and 16,480 metric tons of cargo. Like many of the Yuuzhan Vong's largest ships, the Uro-ik V'alh was an ovoid mass of yorik coral, with several arms sprouting from its hull to serve as docking bays for coralskippers. (NJOSB)

URoRRoR'R'R
this Tusken Raider was the leader of his tribe. A skilled huntsman and sharpshooter, he led many raids on moisture farms in search of water. He also apprehended Luke Skywalker, when the youth travelled into the Jundland Wastes in search of R2-D2. Note that the Ultimate Alien Enthology indicates that this Tusken Raider's name was UroRRuR'R'R. (CCG2, OWS, UANT)

UroRRuR'R'R
see UroRRoR'R'R (UANT)

Uroth
this alien race is native to the planet Wizar II. They are a race of bipedal, squid-like creatures, and worship a vengeful god. When a StelProbe V exploration droid crashed on Wizar II, the Uroths mistook the crustacean-shaped droid for their god. They willingly sacrificed themselves by throwing their bodies in the droid's path, hoping to be taken to a wondrous afterlife. (GMS)

Urothko
this legendary young Wookiee was a brave warrior who cared little for the cares of others. Many of his peers dared him to travel to the lowest levels of Kashyyyk's forest, claiming that he was a coward if he declined. Urothko accepted the challenge, but was attacked by a fire-spirit known as a Graaa'shad. The spirit brought Urothko deep down into the forest, and prepared to kill him. Luckily for Urothko, the elder Stalpaac intervened. Stalpaac shot the spirit with a bowcaster quarrel, then the two Wookiees launched an attack on the spirirt. Graaa'shad quickly retreated and fled, screaming that one day it would get revenge. In the aftermath of the battle, Urothko pledged his life to Stalpaac, since the older Wookiee had risked his own life to save him. The story of Urothko's rescue quickly spread to other villages, and the tradition of the Wookiee life-debt was created. (TTSB)

Urpine
this large, wolf-like carnivore is raised by the Revwien as a guard animal. (GG12)

urra
this Shyriiwook word was used as the suffix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "captain", "warrior", or "soldier". It could be attached to a prefix by itself, or combined with other suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)

Urran
this was the name of the long sticks used to play the sport of phrenbi. (BSS)

Urrdorf City
this disk-shaped space station was the smallest of the twenty cities built in orbit around the planet Duro, after the surface of the planet was destroyed by industrialization. Tresina Lobi and Thrynni Vae discovered that many of the supply shipments which were meant for refugee cities on the surface of Duro were actually being re-routed to Urrdorf. During the confusion which resulted when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Duro, Urrdorf City was the only orbital establishment to escape the destruction of the planet. It lacked a hyperdrive, but eventually got far enough beyond the Yuuzhan Vong strike force that the alien invaders simply let it go. (BP)

Urrjsh
this Gamorrean command roughly translated to "stop." (SWJ14)

Urrooogh
this Wookiee was employed as a bodyguard by Ru'up Benpo, during the early years of the New Order. (GORW)

UrrOr' Shurk
this Tusken Raider was among a tribe that made repeated raids against the holdings of Gardulla the Hutt, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Gardulla discovered that her own people were unable to locate and capture the tribe, so she issued a bounty for their capture. Jango Fett claimed several of these bounties when he was on Tatooine, trying to gain an audience with Gardulla and Jabba. (BH)

Urror'Ruur
this Tusken Raider warrior was part of a small group which lined the racecourse during the Boonta Eve Classic podraces, hoping to take out the loud vehicles and their alien drivers, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (YJC6)

Urrtie
this Corellian was Cohden K'Reye's uncle. (WSV)

Ur'Ru'r
this Tusken Raider was part of the clan that was led by URoRRoR'R'R. Ur'Ru'r prefered to raid the homes and moisture farms near Mos Espa, since it was less defended than Mos Eisley or Anchorhead. (CCG9)

Urrurrowo
this Wookiee and her friend, Murrwooro, were badly injured when a swarm of flame beetles exploded near them, shortly after the Clone Wars. Urrurrowo was a native of the Rwookrrorro. (GMR4)

Urshant, Alkan
Andus Urshant's 8-year-old son. (SN)

Urshant, Andus
the eldest member of a family which paid a group of Alliance agents to transport them off Demophon, Andus was a research technician with the Shankti Drive Works. As such, he was almost guaranteed passage off the planet, but his family was not included in those plans. So, they hired the Alliance agents to get them all off at once, before the G'uotr Network and/or YTumleh Navigation could apprehend them. (SN)

Urshant, Fianna
Andus Urshant's 6-year-old daughter. (SN)

Urshant, Zoam
Andus Urshant's wife, and a research programmer with Tumleh Navigation. She was eight months pregnant with their third child when Demophon was destroyed. She was working on the Tumleh hyperdrive project, which would allow a ship to fly around gravity wells while still in hyperspace. She offered the information to the G'uotr Network as payment for transport off Demophon, but had a change of heart at the last minute. This meant that the Network wanted to apprehend her as well as the officials at Tumleh, who had monitored her downloading of the project's data. Thus, the Urshants turned to the Alliance agents on Demophon for help getting off the planet. (SN)

Ursi
this was one of the many names given to female Bothans. In the Bothan language, it also referred to a cuddly housepet favored on Bothawui. (GCG, WOTC)

Ursi
this small, cuddly creature was a favorite pet of many Bothans. (GCG, WOTC)

Ursmal
this large, bear-like predator was native to the Ottega System. They had heavy teeth for tearing their prey, and large paws for holding it. In addition to raw meat, ursmals liked to consume the sweet honey used to make Ottegan mead, and were hunted to keep their population down. (TBSB)

Ursod
a color-changing predator native to the moon Yavin 8, the quadrapedal ursod lived near the northern ice cap of the moon. Its fur had a mottled coloration on a white background, which allowed it to blend into its environment. (GG2)

Urt
this was a form of meat favored by the Duros people. It was best served grilled. (SWI63)

Urtah
this was the term used by the Tusken Raiders of Tatooine to describe their carrying backs, often made from a frame of bones and wore on the back. (VD2)

Urtya
this was the Tusken Raider name for the light tents they used as homes. Each urtya was formed from the skin and bones of a bantha or other large creature. The skins of the tent were often covered during seasonal encampments with a hardener created from bantha spittle, adding strength and rigidity against Tatooine's sandstorms. (VD2)

Uru
this Outer Rim planet was the homeworld of the Oni race. (MJH)

Urukaab
this Mon Calamari manufacturer developed the Mon Calamari Utility Sub and other submersible vehicles. (JASB, ROE)

Urun
this was one of the more common names given to Cragmoloid individuals. (UANT)

Urur
this Tusken Raider was the younger sibling of Ur, but was not as skilled in battle as Ur. Thus, Urur was often left behind during raids, ostensibly to protect the clan. (JKG)

Ururur
this Tusken Raider was the leader of his tribe, during the height of the New Order. (JKG3)

Urusai
this reptavian scavenger was native to the planet Tatooine. They had unregulated appetites, and often fed on carrion until they became engorged and unable to fly. The females of the species had two wings, located over their four stout legs. The forelegs of the males were actually a second set of wings, useless for flying but designed for use in mating displays. The thick tail of the urusai was used to provide balance during flight, and could also be used as a fifth "leg." A urusai could lift its body up on the tail, using the wide fan at the base of the tail to provide footing while muscles hold up the body. Each wing was studded with claws, which the urusai used to cling to walls and cliffs while climbing to their nests. Their skulls were dominated by red eyes and a snaggletoothed beak, and a fan-shaped comb sprouted behind their heads to help disperse body heat. During the mating period, the average female will lay up to three eggs. The first urusai to hatch would then push the unhatched eggs out of the nest, ensuring its own survival. Adult urusai developed a symbiotic relationship with the Sarlacc which was found in the Pit of Carkoon, cleaning the teeth and tentacles of the Sarlacc in return for the bits of food they obtained in the process. (WSW, TG)

Uruun Cloth
this form of living cloth was created by the Yuuzhan Vong as a kind of bandage. When placed on an individual's flesh, uruun cloth constricted slightly, forming a tight seal around a wound. Uruun cloth was also used to blind or gag and individual, with the uruun cloth placed over the eyes or mouth. (FP)

Urval'starn
this city was located on the western continent of the planet Bothawui. (SPG)

ur-Yuuzhan Vong
this was a term used to describe the proto-historic race from which the Yuuzhan Vong evolved. These early beings were completely and utterly connected to the Force, living in symbiosis with each other and the species as a whole. When the ur-Yuuzhan Vong became too proud of their individual accomplishments, they were suddenly cut off from the Force, and turned to violence. Modern Yuuzhan Vong religion described this in terms of their pantheon of gods, primarily Yun-Yuuzhan, who was believed to have been the creator of the Yuuzhan Vong race. It was the gods, not the Force, which created the Yuuzhan Vong. They were cut off from the Force because of their desire to escalate themselves, but their religion became twisted around so that they believed the only way to return to the gods was to escalate themselves. In this way, the modern Yuuzhan Vong drove themselves further and further from reconnecting with the Force. (UF)

Urzan Krag
this Aqualish bounty hunter was one of many who answered Asajj Ventress' call to hunt down members of the Jedi Order during the height of the Clone Wars. Like many experienced hunters, Krag was not happy with the fact that the bounties issues by Ventress skirted the normal rules of the Old Republic, opening the hunt to any being who wished to call him- or herself a bounty hunter. As the war ground on, Urzan Krag decided to stick with more mainstream criminal activities, and went to work for Jabba the Hutt. Urzan Krag became quite angry when Jabba refused to allow his rank-and-file bounty hunters to take on the more lucartive jobs, especially when Jabba ended up giving them to a thirteen-year-old Boba Fett. He tried to eliminate Boba Fett by chasing him down with his modified airspeeder, which had a limited form of cloaking device. Boba, however, managed to outwit the Aqualish and shot his speeder from the sky. Urzan Krag died in the explosion. (SWI73, BF5)

Usahn L'sehl
this was the name of a noted Sluissi individual. (UANT)

Uscru Boulevard
this was the primary thoroughfare that connected the various locations found within the Uscru District, which was located on the planet Coruscant. During the final decades of the Old Republic, Uscru Boulevard was a brightly-lit freeway that was usually jammed with traffic. (LEV)

Uscru District
this was one of the most up-scale districts of the planet Coruscant, located near the Senate Rotunda during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Many of the Old Republic's Senators made their homes in this district, preferring to be as close as possible to the Rotunda. (HNN5)

Usean II
this planet was the primary world in the Usean System, and was covered with temperate forests and mountains. (TBSB)

Useani Camnzin
this fictional creature was created by Wilek Nereus. Nereus had collected the unusual, scissoring teeth of the lrashtash, but wanted to make their possession much more memorable in the stories he told to his Imperial guests. He created the camnzin as a predator which used the teeth to slice its prey in half. (TBSB)

Ush
the meaning of this archaic Zabrak surname was lost over time. It was believed to have been a variant of Osh. (GCG)

Ushk Choka
this Yuuzhan Vong warrior was dispatched to the planet Zonama Sekot, after Nom Anor was able to locate the living world and relay its location to Supreme Overlord Shimrra. Ushk Choka's small force make a swift journey to the planet in the transport ship Red Qurang, hoping to recover the former Executor and return with news of Zonama Sekot's destruction. After recovering Nom Anor, Ushk Choka and the Red Qurang were briefly pursued by Mara Jade Skywalker and the Jade Shadow, but the smaller ship was forced to break off pursuit. Nom Anor believed that they were free, but an Imperial frigate that had accompanied the Jedi to Zonama Sekot took up the pursuit. Ushk Choka could neither flee nor fight, much to Nom Anor's dismay. Only the sudden disappearance of Zonama Sekot into hyperspace - dragging the other ships with it - allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to escape. (FP)

Ushka Et
this female Devaronian served as the lead singer for the band Distraction, during the early years of the New Order. She was easily distinguished from other female Devaronians by her face, half of which was tattooed to make her face appear as if it had been in a horrible accident. While not self-conscious about her body art, Ushka often turned the clear side of her face toward others, so as not to draw undo attention to the tattoos. During the preparations for a concert aboard the Sleemo Poya Jeedai, Ushka Et was kidnapped by Niklas Cories - posing as badn assistant Aphus Polix - and hidden away on another ship. Cories then took her place on stage, in an effort to murder Aquella Firth. (WOA28)

Us-hrok
this was the Yuuzhan Vong name for a series of strange hand gestures, made in front of an individual's face, which represented indebtedness and loyalty to another who provided assistance. (FH3)

Uskgarv
the leader of the Ghawem pirates, Uskgarv was also a friend of Stevan Makintay. They met unexpectedly when the Ghawems attacked the transport ship that was carrying Mak and Ketrian Altronel to Coruscant. Uskgarv allowed them to go free when he realized they were on board, in exchange for favors Mak had once done for him. (SWJ8)

Uso Yso
this immense creature was a swoop seller, working in Euceron City during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Standing well over three meters in height, with two beating hearts and having fifteen-fingered hands as big as bantha haunches, Uso Yso was intimidating to say the least. This helped him greatly, for the swoop dealership was a front for the gambling agency he ran from the back office. When the Galactic Games came to Euceron, some six years after the Battle of Naboo, Uso Yso was known as one of the most "trustworthy" of the bookies who were taking illegal bets on the sporting events. (JQ3)

Usos Cluster
this medal, awarded by the Alliance, signified extreme valor in battle. (SWJ4)

Uspeq
this creature was native to the Yuuzhan Vong homeworld, and was bred for its incredible sense of smell. They were used during hunts, to help seek out prey. (EVC)

Ussa
this city was the capital of the planet Bellassa. It was arranged in concentric circles that surrounded seven beautiful lakes, with wide thoroughfares connecting each circle. Houses and buildings were kept as low as possible, so as to preserve the natural beauty of the surrounding environment. During the year following the end of the Clone Wars, more than half the population of Ussa was arrested on various charges, after the Empire removed the elected government and installed their own governors. Various demonstrations led to many of the arrests, which were staged near the planet's primary spaceport. About a year after the Clone Wars, the Imperial forces on Bellassa realized that many of the demonstrations were spurred on by the words of Ferus Olin, and they set out to put a stop to it. With the so-called Order 37, hundreds of citizens were arrested and threatened with execution if Ferus didn't turn himself in. Ferus, aided by Obi-Wan Kenobi, was able to free the prisoners and escape Bellassa before any harm could come to them. (LJ1)

Ussan
this was a term used to describe the natives of the city of Ussa, on the planet Bellassa. (LJ1)

Ussar Vlee
this was one of the three ruetsavii sent to chronicle and criticize the life of Ooryl Qrygg. (BW)

Usta
this was a common name among thje Ho'Din people. (UANT)

Ustu
one of Nichos Marr's childhood companions. Ustu was a Ho'Din. Together, they searched for Plett's Well, regardles of the warnings about the kretch. (COJ)

Ut
planet in the Hapan System known for its singers. (CPL)

Uta
a Hutt crimelord active under the New Republic, he was most known for his trafficking of military artifacts from the Galactic Civil War. He was arrested and charged with violating the Historical Battle Site Preservation Act. (BTS)

Uta
this Huttese word translated roughly into Basic as "if." (E1A14)

Utai
this race of diminutive humanoids was native to the tunnels and caverns of the planet Utapau. Because of their size, and because of their short lifespan, the Utai were often referred to as Shorts. Although the Utai made up some seventy percent of the population on Utapau, they had been relegated to the labor classes by the taller Pau'ans. The eyes of the Utai were located on short stalks, and provided the Utai with exceptional vision in the dark, underground environments they lived in. Many Utai were employed as varactyl wranglers, despite their short stature, because of their innate ability to work with the creatures. In contrast to the Pau'ans, the Utai preferred to eat cooked meat. Interestingly enough, Utai preferred the sunlight to the darkness in which they lived. (VD3, E3N)

Utanode
this bio-engineered material was used by the Gungans to support the bubble buildings they constructed in the oceans of Naboo. Each utanode arm contained a projection unit, which worked together to create the hydrostatic bubble buildings. (E1A9, IWE1)

Utapau
Jedi scholars believed that this once-mythic planet might have been the birthplace of the Jedi Order, millennia before the Battle of Yavin. Other possibilities included Ondus and Had Abbadon. What was know for sure was that the planet was the homeworld of the Utai and Pau'an races of humanoids. Much of the planet's surface was dominated by immense sinkholes, in which the Utapauans built their elegant cities. These sinkholes were caused by the porous nature of the planet's sandstone crust, which over time drew all surface water belowground. Thus, entire oceans were formed underground. The continual movement of water eroded the porous rock, causing large sections of ground to sink. With the lack of water on the surface, weather patterns changed, and intense hyperwinds began to scour the surface, levelling mountains and leaving behind a featureless flatlands. However, these winds also produced an unexpected benefit: the power of the wind could be harvested with huge windmills, providing limitless supplies of energy. The Utapauns' ecomony was based primarily on the sale of excess power. Secondary income came from off-world mining operations that tapped into the underground ocean for the trace elements found in the water. During the height of the Clone Wars, Utapau remained unallied to either the Old Republic of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and lacked any sort of strategic value. However, Utapau was eventually subjugated by General Grievous, who transported the leaders of the Council of Separatists to the planet for safekeeping, just prior to the Battle of Coruscant. Utapau was encircled by a ring of moons of various sizes, which dominated the skies during both daylight and nighttime. (PJSB, OWS, ROF, LEV, VD3, E3N, SWDB)

Utapau Skyforce
this was the main planetary defense force established by the Utapauns, during the Clone Wars. Made up primarily of Porax-38 starfighters and a few Dreadnaughts, the Utapau Skyforce was no match for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. (X3)

Utapaun
this was the term used to collectively describe the Utai and Pau'an races, which were native to the planet Utapau. Note that the novelization of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith indicates that the term Utapaun referred to the Pau'an race. (VD3, E3N)

Utare
this was one of the largest cities found on the planet Andara. (JQ5)

UT-AT
officially known as the Unstable Terrain Artillery Transport, the UT-AT was a 23.8-meter-long walker that was developed for the Grand Army of the Republic by Kuat Drive Yards and Mekuun, during the height of the Clone Wars. Its design was inspired after larger AT-TE and SPHA-T walkers caused massive landslides on Agamar with their constant, pounding steps. The UT-AT was developed from the original walker plans of KDY, which were augmented by repulsorlift technology from Mekuun, to create a vehicle that was more of a tank than a walker. In place of legs, the UT-AT moved about on eight pairs of repulsorlift "skis", each with an independent suspension mechanism that allowed the skis to constantly adjust to changing terrain. The skis kept the UT-AT stable while four massive repulsorlift engines in the forward section provided propulsion. The UT-AT required a pilot and five gunners to operate, and could accommodate up to twenty clone troopers. However, much of its interior space was dedicated to the onboard weapons systems, which included side- and top-mounted heavy turbolasers and four turret-mounted laser cannons. The forward three weapons earned the UT-AT its nickname of "Trident." Because of its ability to negotiate rough or unstable terrain, the UT-AT was often deployed on the front lines of a Republic army, clearing a path for other vehicles to follow. However, these vehicles were considerably slower than their larger cousins, and were subject to huge amounts of enemy fire. (SWDB)

Utchakkaloch
this Wookiee was Dewlanna's son. Known as Chakk to his friends, this dark brown Wookiee met Han Solo at Chewbacca's wedding to Mallatobuk. When Chakk discovered that Han had known Dewlanna, he asked Han to tell him everything about how she died. Han told him of the way Dewlanna died saving his life, and the two became quick friends and "brothers." Chakk was distantly related to Chewbacca, through a second cousin three times removed who emigrated to Rwookrrorro and married Chewie's great-aunt's niece. (RD)

Uteen
this eel-like alien race lacked hands, and used droids to perform manual labor as well as give hand signals and sign language. They were members of the New Republic. (TNR)

Utegetu Nebula
this unusual shell nebula was located within the Unknown Regions of the galaxy by Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa-Solo, during their search for a habitable planet on which to relocate the Ithorian peoples, in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The open end of the nebula was guarded by the star formation known as the Murgo Choke, and the bluish gases of its walls were broken in only a few places, such as the Mott's Nostril. Investigation by scientists and astrophysicists revealed that the nebula was relatively young, perhaps formed less than a thousand years before. Thus, any planets found within its boundaries should have been badly damaged by the supernova that caused the nebula. However, the Galactic Alliance discovered fourteen other planets like Woteba within the nebula, all of which were perfectly capable of supporting life. When the Qoribu crisis was resolved, the Galactic Alliance decided to turn over the Utegetu Neubla planets to the hives of the Colony, believing that the nebula's isolation from Chiss space would solve many problems. A possible explanation for the inhabitable planets found within the nebula was uncovered with the appearance of the Fizz, a self-replicating nanotechology that may have been created by a former race of inhabitants to restore planets to their natural state in the wake of the supernova. With the reappearance of the Dark Nest, pirates began patrolling the Murgo Choke and the mouth of the Utegetu Nebula, ambushing supply ships and stealing the technologies required by the Gorog to being their explansion. The Galactic Alliance was forced to blockade the Utegetu Nebula, in an effort to keep the Killiks of the Gorog hive from spreading into the rest of the galaxy. (DN2)

Uth Sulrowe
this Mon Calamari was a well known scholar, and had a deep knowledge of galactic art. Uth was employed by Pret Swain, and worked at the Swain Import/Export Emporium on Socorro. Dressed in flowing robes, she was an impeccable hostess as well as a good sense of business. She was also a weapons expert, which helped her deal with the Emporium's more "discriminating" patrons. (BSS)

Uthan, Ovolot Qail
this respected scientist and researcher was hired by Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems to develop nanoviruses that could be used as weapons during the Clone Wars. Her first discovery was a nanovirus that could be altered to act solely on the clone troopers being created for the Grand Army of the Republic. This discovery led to a great deal of funding, and Uthan was transported to Qiilura to continue her work. On Qiilura, she was supported and protected by Ghez Hokan, and she was able to establish a facility that allowed her to work in private. The primary problem with the development of the nanovirus was creating something that would attack only clone troopers, which were essentially Mandalorians, which differed very little from baseline human stock. Thus, the unrefined nanovirus was capable of killing indiscriminately. She had nearly uncovered a way to target the clones when her operation on Qiilura was discovered by the Old Republic. When Jedi Master Kast Fulier was killed trying to locate her, the Republic dispatched a squad of clone commandos to locate her. With the help of Master Fulier's Padawan, Etain Tur-Mukan, the commandos were able to infiltrate Hokan's complex and capture Uthan. The threat of the nanovirus was eliminated when the commandos destroyed the research facility. Uthan was injured during the extraction of the commandos, when she was being carried by Atin. One of Hokan's soldiers hit Atin with a blast from a Verpine shatter gun, injuring both of them. Uthan herself was badly injured by a pieces of Atin's body armor which had absorbed the blast and shattered into shrapnel. Fortunately, both were removed to a medical frigate and treated immediately, and both Atin and Uthan survived the blast. (RCHC)

Uthar Wynn
this being served as the leader of the Sith training academy on Korriban, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Master Wynn was training an apprentice named Yuthura during this time, until a group of Jedi Knights managed to infiltrate the academy by posing as Sith apprentices, shortly after the Great Hunt. After gaining Master Wynn's confidence, the Jedi revealed themselves. Wynn and Yuthura attacked the Jedi, but both were defeated in combat. (KOTOR)

Uthil Ren'Kacal
this Gotal bounty hunter was one of a group contracted by the Empire to hunt down the Alliance agents who were investigating the construction of the Bissillirus Resupply Base. He was more of a tracker than a hunter, and welcomed the chance to work with a team in order to ensure the capture of the agents. Uthil was known as a polite and diplomatic, though deceitful, bount hunter. (GMK)

Uthori Breix

Uthorrferrell Cartha
this man was the only son of Antbbianplourr III, and ascended to the throne of Eaittu following his father's death. Like his father, Uthorrferrell was unable to keep Eiattu free of Imperial control. Uthorferrell ruled Eiattu for five years before the Priamsta rose up against him. The nobles slaughtered every member of the Cartha family, or so it was believed. It was later discovered that his daughter, Isplourrdacartha Estillo, and his son, Harrandatha, survived the executions, although Harrandatha was later killed by his sister. (XWWP)
