E-series Droid
this antique series of short, humanoid droids was produced by Accutronics for performing household tasks and taking care of young children. They have round heads with eyes and nose, but no mouth. The E-series was built to take a beating, with a plastic-coated durasteel shell. They tend to work together, making friends and becoming inseparable. By the time of the New Republic, the E-series had been in service for more than a century, with almost galaxy-wide acceptance. (DRO, EGD)

E-series Droid
a series of protocol droids. (BTS)

Esfandia
this planet served as one of two communications centers, along with Generis, used by the New Republic to establish a link with the Unknown Regions. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Generis was destroyed, leaving Esfandia the only link to the Unknown Regions. The Yuuzhan Vong, knowing that the rogue planet Zonama Sekot was somewhere in the Unknown Regions, attacked Esfandia in an effort to break all communications links. Esfandia itself was a free-roaming world which had broken free from its sun many thousands of years before. Its core retained enough energy to produce a liquid atmosphere of methane and nitrogen. The New Republic's communications base on Esfandia was built on a base of refitted AT-AT walkers, allowing the base to move across the planet's surface and maintain relay equipment, while protecting the workers and officers within. It was later revealed that Esfandia was also the homeworld of a race of sentient plants known as the Brrbrlpp. (FH3)

Esfandia Long-Range Communications Base
this unusual vehicle was developed by the New Republic to serve as a mobile communications base, situated on the planet of Esfandia. Since Esfandia's atmosphere was liquid, normal living and working conditions were impossible to recreate. So, using the legs and programming of several AT-AT walkers, the base was built as the main body of the vehicle. The Base could then move about on Esfandia's rocky surface, servicing the multitude of communications relays and ensuring that they were always in the best position for optimal transmission quality. (FH3)

Esh tiiri ahnakh
this was a Yuuzhan Vong phrase used when mocking an opponent. (FH3)

Esk
this is the fifth symbol in the Aurebesh script, and represents the Basic letter "e". (SWM)

Eskaron
this fourth moon of Genarius, Eskaron was known to be rich in a variety of metals and minerals. One particularly rare metal was a nutrient required by a species of space slug, which took up residence on Eskaron by tunneling through its crust and mantle in search of the metal. Over many years, the metal veins ran out, and the space worms left, leaving Eskaron an unstable world riddled with tunnels. Riboga the Hutt discovered the tunnels, and worked to fortify the moon's substrates so that he could sponsor starfighter races through the tunnels. When Riboga was ousted from power by Nirama, Nirama kept the races going when he recognized the income that was realized from them. (LFC)

Eskavon
this was a common name among the Temolak race. (UANT)

this Snivvian phrase, used in the world of art and antiquities, translated into Basic as "This would look fantastic over my fireplace." (HNN5)

Eslo Magua
this was one of the many floating cities found in the atmosphere of the planet Genarius. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, it was believed that elements of the Sith were working from a base on Eslo Magua, in preparation for an attack on the Almas Academy. (WOTC)

Esm Arkhee
this nervous Twi'lek male seemed to suffered from a rare muscular disorder that caused his lekku to twitch uncontrollably. In the Lekku sign language, it appeared that Esm Arkhee continually repeated the word "go" over and over again. A branch manager for Interplanetary Acquisitions, Esm Arkhee was actually under the influence of a kind of spell, focused on him through the Force by his boss, Pal-Nada. Pal-Nada discovered that Esm Arkhee's weak mind made him the perfect stooge, and used him to set up events which ultimately led to the theft of a starship. Esm Arkhee's muscle twitch was a subconscious response to the Force control used by Pal-Nada. Esm Arkhee worked in The Blinders district of Sahl-Evin, and was known to enjoy gladiator-style fighting, frequenting those establishments that staged fights of all kinds. (WOA17, WOA19)

Espionage Droid
any series of droid that resembles a normal droid on the outside, but has hidden programming that is used to record information and relay it to the droid's owner. MerenData built an espionage droid from a 3PO protocol droid base, which was extremely effective due to the widespread use of 3PO droids as diplomatic interpreters. (RASB)

Esplanade, The
this luxurious pedestrian mall was located on Oseon 6845. The Esplanade was one of the most expensive places in the galaxy to do business, during the early years of the New Order. The frontage along the walkway was reportedly the highest-priced in the galaxy, but also carried a great deal of prestige to the store-owners that could afford it. The Esplanade was a cobblestoned street that was covered, like everything else on the asteroid, by a transparent dome. Artificial gravity was generated, since the asteroid was too small to generate its own. (LCF)

Espo
this was the slang term used to describe a member of the Corporate Sector Authority's Security Police. (HSE)

ESPO Riot Gun
see 500 (AEG)

Espo Walker 101
this version of the AT-PT replaced the Espo Walker 91 model long before the Empire rose to power. (AIR)

Espo Walker 91
this version of the Old Republic's AT-PT was manufactured by the SecuriTech Corporation. It was designed to allow a single Corporate Sector Authority Security Officer to act as a combat squad in battle zones. Although the Espo Walker was expensive and prone to malfunction, it served its purpose well. The Espo Walker was armed with a single light blaster cannon, a heavy stun cannon, and a concussion grenade launcher. (CSA, AIR)

E-Sporting Blaster Rifle
this was a form of heavy-duty hunting rifle. (NEGW)

Esprix Estate
located on the planet Esseles, the Esprix Estate was the once the official residence of Esseles' representative to the Galactic Senate of the Old Republic.

When the Empire took control of Darpa Sector, the Esprix Estate was turned over to the Imperial Moff and the Imperial Security Bureau. (CCW)

ES-PSA
this was a model of unipod droid, produced during the last years of the Old Republic. They were referred to as Espasa droids. Note that this type of droid is referred to as a RIC-series droid in the Star Wars Databank. (AOTCN)

Esral'sa'Nikto
one of the five Nikto races, the Esral'sa'Nikto were commonly referred to as the Mountain Nikto. As their name implies, the Esral'sa'Nikto evolved in the mountainous regions of Kintan, and were distinguished by their blue-gray skin coloration and the facial flaps which expanded from their cheeks. Another flap of skin covered the nose of a Mountain Nikto. (GG12, EGA)

Essara
this Tarasin male was hired as a stand-in for Va'Lonis - the keyboard player for the band Distraction - during public appearances. (WOA28)

Esseles
this planet was never officially overtaken by the Empire, although COMPNOR maintained the local political party and the Empire seeded the local police. Esseles was located in the Darpa Sector, one of the "younger" regions of the Core Worlds. It was once a very prosperous world in the Sector, with many industries specializing in high-tech research and development in hypernautics and hyperdrive engine manufacturing. However, it lost ground to other worlds during the decline of the Old Republic and the institution of the New Order. Under the leadership of President Ralle, the planet suffered through its worst economic shortage shortly after the Battle of Yavin, and was eventually placed under Imperial control by Governor Takel. (GG2, SWJ7, SWJ8, SWJ9)

Esseles-class Space Station
designed and manufactured by Alderaan Royal Engineers, this ancient design was built to surround an existing moon and use it as the basis for the space station. One pole was used to house much of the station's docking facilities, control towers, and communications systems. City sprawls, much like those on the later Death Star battle station, were spread across the surface of the moon, linked by various tranport tubes. Specialized venting systems bleed power generated from the interior of the station to the surface. (EGV)

Esselian Hall
this was the ruling body that governed the planet Esseles, prior to the rise of Emperor Palpatine and the instigation of the New Order. (FOP)

Esselian New Order Party
this political party advocated complete surrender of the planet Esseles to the Empire. The ENO party was decidedly pro-Human, and questioned the leadership of Hall President Cambira Ralle during the non-Human strikes which crippled Esselian corporations. The party's leader, Jamson Freller, continually challenged Ralle's dominance of Esselian politics. (SWJ8, SWJ9)

Essence
this was one of the more popular talkshows which aired on the networks of the planet Eriadu, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN4)

Essence of Zeltros
this was the name of an unusual perfume, produced on the planet Zeltros for use by non-Zeltrons. Essence of Zeltros was created with the actual Zeltron pheromones used to attract members of the opposite sex. When applied to the skin, the perfume gave a being similar abilities to attract other beings, as if they were exuding Zeltron pheromones. The effect lasted for about an hour, and could be reapplied afterward for a longer-lasting effect. When used by true Zeltrons, Essence of Zeltros augmented their already potent pheromones. (PH)

Essence Stealer
this device was part of Borborygmus Gog's Project Starscream. Located within the reconstructed Jedi library on the Nespis VIII space station, the Essence Stealer was designed to capture the true Force-essence of a Jedi. It was formed from a Ssi-Ruuvi battle droid, which Gog had obtained from Raith Sienar for an incredible price, and employed much of the entechment process. Some of the background theory behind the capture of a being's life essence was based on the work of Jenna Zan Arbor. Gog never got a chance to verify its operation, as the only Force-sensitive being it encountered was Tash Arranda, who managed to destroy it with the help of her uncle, Mammon Hoole. However, the technology and theory behind the Essence Stealer were later used by Umak Leth to develop the Universal Energy Cage. (GOF5, OWS)

Essential Miner's Gear
this was the name given to TasCorp's package of non-powered mining equipment. It included a shovel and pick-axe, a week's worth of rations, a breath mask, and two small oxygen tanks for individual use. (SWJ15)

Although Shawgrim later escaped, Colonel Yerac's team managed to recover a set of plans and schematics for the T-65 X-Wing starfighter. (SWJ4)

Essic Daroom
this Ithorian explorer was an expert of hyperspace travel, and served the Hyperspace Navigator's Guild on Empress Teta during the last decades of the Old Republic. Daroom and his team were responsible for validating the hyperspace data that was maintained in the Guild's immense computers, continually comparing existing maps and charts with new information brought back by explorers. He often boasted that the three-dimensional map of the galaxy maintained in the Guild's main headquarters in Cinnagar was more detailed than the map that was found in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Because of his love of map-making, Daroom was known to his peers as simply "Cartographer." (PH)

Essien Run
this hyperspace route traveled through the Asamin System. (AIR)

Ession
this planet, the fourth in the Lucaya System of the Corporate Sector, was settled some 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor. Since that time, it evolved into a major center of industrial manufacturing, and managed to remain neutral during the Galactic Civil War. The warlord Zsinj had built the Pakkerd Light Transport company on the planet, building TIE Fighters for use in his war machine, and sent the Night Caller - under the control of Wraith Squadron - to protect the Implacable while it receives the first shipment of new starfighters. However, the New Republic managed to get three squadrons of X-Wings to the planet aboard the Blood Nest, and was able to knock out the Pakkerd plant before the TIEs could launch. The Republic also managed to take out the Implacable. (WS)

Ession Strike
this Corellian Engineering CR90 corvette was part of the New Republic fleet which was created to support Han Solo and the Mon Remonda during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. The ship was originally known as the Night Caller, but was renamed by the New Republic after its capture. (SOC)

Essor
this was one of the largest cities found on the planet Essowyn. It was located on a northern island. (PG1)

Essowyn
this planet is found in the Saurton System, located in the Trax Sector. It is constantly being bombarded by debris from the system's twin asteroid belts. It is the homeworld of the Saurton race, which had been divided into two warring factions - the Quenno and the Des'mar - for many decades. The average day on Essowyn lasts 39 standard hours, while its year lasts 401 local days. Much of the planet was covered with water, although there were four major continents and a number of large islands. Most of the cities built by the Saurton were located underground, to protect them from asteroid strikes. (PG1)

Esstran Cordon
this deep-space void was believed to have been devoid of any form of life, according to Alliance starcharts at the time of the Battle of Hoth. However, Y-Wing pilot Zan Porpu mistakenly dropped out of hyperspace in this area, and discovered that the Empire was secretly testing TIE Fighter prototypes in the area. Porpu's ship was shot to bits, although it was believed Porpu managed to eject from the ship. (RESB)

Estalle
this beautiful community, built on Procopia's Estalle Island, was a collection of domed towers and temples. (LOE)

Estalle Island
located on the planet Procopia, this canalled city served as the sector capital of Tapani Sector. Shey Tapani established a luxurious estate on the island, which was dominated by the most wondrous examples of Tapani architecture in the sector. (PGT)

Estaph System
this Tapani Sector star system was part of the holdings of House Mecetti during the New Order. (LOE)

Estauril River
this wide river ran alongside Cloud Mountain, on the planet Cularin. The Hiironi itrstat established their tribal lands along one side of the river, and the cities of Gadrin and Hedrett straddle the river at the base of Cloud Mountain. (LFC)

Estimable Epicures
this catering company was based on Nar Shaddaa, but rarely got any business. It was on the verge of going bankrupt when it was hired by the crew of the Song of the Clouds to cater the meeting between Vop the Usurer and Ritinki. The small company nearly panicked, having just twelve regular staff on hand after six of their chefs were jettisoned into space by a disgruntled Hutt customer. (SWJ15)

Estosh
this male was the youngest of the group aliens which accompanied Bearsh aboard the Chaf Envoy, during the mission to search for the remains of the Outblund Flight Project, some twenty-two years after the Battle of Yavin. When Luke Skywalker agreed to help the Geroon Remnant locate a suitable new homeworld in the Outer Rim, Estosh couldn't contain his excitement. Later, Estosh met with Dean Jinzler to talk about Outbound Flight, just before someone tried to sabotage the drive system aboard the Chaf Envoy. A short time later, Estosh was found shot and injured, having been hit in the back with a blast from a charric weapon. Although he was in great pain, Estosh survived the attack, only to have Bearsh order him to remain behind when the ship actually reached Outbound Flight's location. This order seemed unusual, since Estosh's injuries were not severe, but Mara Jade Skywalker later realized that Bearsh had been lying about the true nature of the Geroons' mission to Outbound Flight. Estosh and his companions were later revealed to be, not Geroon, but Vagaari, when Director Uliar recognized their language when Bearsh captured him and held him prisoner. Lake and Mara also began to question Estosh's injury, and came to believe that it had been inflicted by his fellow Vagaari. In reality, Estosh was the Supreme Commander of the Vagaari, and this injury was a cover story so that he could remain behind and free more than 300 Vagaari from hibernation aboard their starship. He then led the attacks on both the Chaf Envoy and the Outbound Flight, revealing in a message to Luke and Mara that the Vagaari were on a mission of revenge against the Chiss. The Vagaari planned to steal one of the Outbound Flight Dreadnaughts and restore it to working condition, then use it as a base from which to strike at the Chiss. Estosh and his forces managed to flee the planetoid with the D-Four Dreadnaught, and headed for the Brask Oto Command Station. He had anticipated a possible attack en route, as Luke and Mara discovered when they managed to reach D-Four about an hour before Brask Oto. However, any ease with which they reached the bridge was nullified when Estosh sent a functional droideka after the Jedi. It was the droidekas that the Vagaari were after, in an effort build an army that they could use against the Chiss. When Luke and Mara defeated the droideka, Estosh was forced to unleash a deadly, corrosive poison in the Dreadnaught's bridge, hoping to kill the Jedi even as he himself died. However, Mara managed to vent the bridge by cutting a hole in a transparisteel viewport, but not before all the Vagaari on the bridge died from the poison. (SQ)

Estral
this male Etti worked for Jabba the Hutt as the gamemaster at the Mos Espa Grand Arena, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Estral was in charge of ensuring that all bets were accurately placed and monitored during the podracers held at the arena. (BF4)

Estuan Theater
this huge amphitheater was located on the Kuari Princess. Named for the renowned Dactrurian actor Anorad Estuan, many live and holographic performances took place in the theater for the enjoyment of the ship's passengers. (RM)

ET-4B
this protocol droid was part of the droid pool which was assigned to the Alliance's Pegasus Strike Force. Despite being programmed to handle negotiations with a variety of known and unknown alien races, ET-4B discovered it was terrified of being in the presence of unknown aliens. (SWJ2)

Eta-2 Actis Interceptor
this small, one-man fighter was chosen by the Jedi Order as its primary starfighter design, following the Delta-7 Aethersprite as the craft of choice just prior to the Battle of Coruscant. Manufactured by Kuat Systems Engineering, the Eta-2 Actis Interceptor was a smaller craft, measuring just 4.2 meters in length and with a wingspan of 5.5 meters with the wingtips extended. Note that Star Wars: Episode III Incredible Cross-Sections indicates that the ship measured 5.47 meters in length, and 4.3 meters across. Each wing had a pair of maneuvering flaps that could fold up agility or straight out for speed. The cockpit of the ship was an egg-shaped pod that was connected to the rear of the wings, allowing the forward wing sections to extend out in front. The Eta-2 Actis Interceptor was armed with a pair of dual laser cannons and either a missile launcher or a pair of secondary ion cannons, and required a dedicated astromech droid to assist the pilot with navigation. The intercepter lacked a hyperdrive, and was designed to use a TransGalMeg Syliure-45 hyperdrive ring to move across interstellar distances. However, at sublight speeds the Eta-2 Actis was still an incredibly fast ship, although it sacrificed high-tech instruments and sensors for pushing more power to the engines. Thus, these ships almost required a Jedi's reflexes and intuition to fully realize its potential. (SWGAL, X3, SWDB)

Etahn A'baht
this Dornean Navy commander was the New Republic's choice to lead the Fifth Battle Group when it was created. A'baht had been in charge of the 80-ship Dornean fleet which successfully held the Empire at bay during the attempted invasion of Dornea.

this starship was stolen by Trel Modetto, shortly after he jumped ship while working for a group of pirates in Tapani Sector. A team of Alliance agents, hoping to make contact the smuggler on Lamuir IV, were told to meet him at this starship. Instead, Janna Pallask directed them to another docking bay in hopes of saving Coros Telari. (TSIA)

Eternal Sleep
this was the Sullustan term for death. (MBS)

Eternal, The
a mystical reference used by Lando Calrissian. (LCM)

Eternity Crystal
part of a fantastic ruse concocted by Darth Vader to lure Leia Organa into his clutches, this wondrous stone, created by the Jerni millennia before the rise of the New Order, was rumored to allow the user to travel through time. Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa tried to recover the crystal to aid the Alliance, but were captured on Jerne by Ryko Vant. They had hoped to use the stone to return to the Old Republic and prevent the rise of Emperor Palpatine and the destruction of Alderaan, much as Vader had predicted. His forced were attacked by Meeka Reen's guerillas, who took Luke and Leia as their own prisoners. They learned that the crystal was housed on Adony Station, and raced to recover it before Darth Vader could beat them to it. Unfortunately, Vader had rigged the vault to explode when opened, in an effort to kill Luke and Leia. The vault exploded, catching all three of them. They managed to escape, but the crystal and much of Adony Station were destroyed. (CSWDW)

Etherhawk
this Marauder-class cruiser was part of the fleet assigned to Han Solo and the Mon Remonda, during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. It was barely serviceable, and many of its crew felt it was one overhaul short of complete dilapidation. (SOC)

Etheric Rudder
the steering mechanism of a starfighter, it allows the ship to turn in the vacuum of space, without the benefit of resistance from wind or water. The rudder can be used in flight, or while the ship is floating in space. (HTTE, IF, IR)

Ethersquid
a tentacled creature found on the planet Gyndine. (DESB)

Etherway
dubbed "the Flying Hatbox" by Mara Jade, the Etherway was an Action V transport that was part of the smuggler fleet owned by Talon Kaarde during the early years of the New Republic. During this time, it was used by Fynn Torve on his missions to deliver food to the rebels on Abregado-Rae. Like the Starry Ice, the Etherway was armed with three turbolasers. Capable of carrying up to six passengers and 75,000 metric tons of cargo, the ship was crewed by a pilot, a navigator, and three gunners. The ship was impounded on Abregado-Rae just before Han Solo and Lando Calrissian arrived there to try and locate Talon Kaarde, and Torve was forced to leave it there to fly with Han and Lando in the Millennium Falcon to meet with Karrde. Later, Wedge Antilles had it moved and pretended to be its owner to get in touch with Mara Jade. Torve had set up an elaborate identification scheme, which required Mara and Wedge to argue whether or not the ship was actually a Harkners-Balix 903. Karrde maintained the ship over the coming years, and the Etherway was one of the ships which Karrde brought to Yavin 4 to rescue the students at the Jedi praxeum from capture by the Yuuzhan Vong. It was damaged in the battle, but managed to survive. (HTTE, DFR, EVC, GMR4)

E'thinaa
this Ssi-ruu was Molierre Cundertol's primary interface on Lwhekk, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When Cundertol returned to Lwhekk, after his failure to secure Bakura for the Ssi-ruuk, E'thinaa was revealed to be a Yuuzhan Vong in disguise. E'thinaa then activated the restraining bolt his people had inserted into Cundertol's body, then ordered his Yuuzhan Vong guards to kill Cundertol. (FH2)

Ethmane
this dense gas was found on a few moons and fewer planets throughout the galaxy. When it liquified and froze at the incredibly low temperatures found on remote worlds, it created huge, intricate crystals that were considered among the galaxy's most beautiful natural forms. Worlds such as the tiny moon of Kr were sometimes covered with ethmane jungles, with huge tracts of tree-shaped crystals rising from the surface. Ethmane was also known for its ability to block or absorb sensor systems, which caused problems when flying through the crystalline structures it formed. In its gaseous form, however, ethmane was as transparent to sensors as air. (DN1)

Ethnic Architectural Forms of the Tion Hegemony
this publication regularly highlighted the various forms of architecture found on inhabited worlds of the Tion Hegemony. (ML)
