C Plus
This modified light freighter was owned and operated by Kalar Opense during the height of the New Order. (SPG)

C Tea
This was the nickname used by Alliance starfighter pilots to describe a Mon Calamarian tea that was brewed from ocean plants. The nickname stemmed from the fact that the Basic translation of the Mon Calamarian name for the beverage translated as "sea tea", but the pilots knew that it came from Calamari. (XW, XWP)

C12
This was an entry-level fragmentation grenade produced by Merr-Sonn during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

C-136
This weapon, known by the more-popular nicjkname of the Grandfather Gun, was developed by Speizoc as a heavy surface-to-surface bombardment cannon. It was essentially a huge ion cannon designed to attack shielded urban centers. Huge and unwieldy, the C-136 was eventually made obsolete by improvements in shields and lasers, combined with the fact that it took an average of nine hours to set up or take down the weapon. A C-136 was used by Trioculus on Kessel to blow up a dam and drown troublesome villagers. (ISB, QE)

C-14
This was the designation of one of Merr-Sonn's stun grenades. It was originally developed for Imperial Munitions, and was engineered so that it could be thrown, recovered, and recharged. However, many of these weapons fell into the hands of the Alliance, and were later used against Imperial forces in battle. This led to the development of the C-14A grenade. (AEG, WOTC)

C-14A
This ws the designation of the second generation of the Merr-Sonn C-14 stun grenade. Equipped with a clublike handle, the C-14A was also given a speciallized reactivation system that required a secret code to open. This helped prevent Alliance forces from recovering the C-14A and using it against Imperial forces. (AEG)

C16
This was a form of grenade that was used during the last years of the Old Republic and into the era of the New Order. This may be a typo, representing the C-16 fragmentation grenade. (LJ1)

C-20
This was the designation of Merr-Sonn's glop grenade. (WOTC)

C22
see C-22 (SWG2P)

C-22
This was the designation of Merr-Sonn's fragmentation grenade. Note that this number is shared with the Merr-Sonn flame projector carbine. Unlike earlier versions like the C-16, the C-22 was equipped with a low-power magnetic grapple that allowed it to be secured to a vehicle. (EGW, AEG)

C-22
This was the model number of Merr-Sonn's flame projector carbine. Note that this number is shared with the Merr-Sonn fragmentation grenade. The C-22 was used extensively in the Corporate Sector for riot control. The designs for the C-22 were licensed to Czerka, which marketed the weapon as the CZ-22 Flametongue. (EGW, AEG)

C223
This group of Alliance containers was part of a convoy that supplying Admiral Harkov and the defecting Protector fleet in the Ottega System, during the months the followed the Battle of Hoth. (TIE)

C-227
An agri-droid motivator. (GG9)

C285
This was the model number of Aratech's "Power-Spread" power dispersion unit, used on Imperial Sky Swoopers. (CFG)

C2-R4
This was a series of barrel-shaped automatons. (JE)

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

C3 Computer
Built by Comar for use in the Tri-Tracker, the Countermeasures Compensation Computer attempted to account for the jamming and evasion devices used by its targets. The C3 extrapolated the target's continued trajectory and fed that data into the targetting device. (ISB)

C-3 Droid
A series of droids built to replace APD-40s. (COJ)

C-3 Passenger Liner
A 400-meter long, needle-shaped pleasure ship. It had been rated at 18 MGLT top-speed, and had 160 SBD shields and a 100 RU hull. (TIE)

C-3 Series Droid
This was the third of the new wave of protocol droids designed by Cybot Galactica and produced on Telti. Based on the popular 3PO-series droids, the C-3 series was considered a boutique droid. (TNR, EGD, NEGD)

C-37
This computer relay unit was required to activate a starship's power train. They were also used to power some droid models. (CSWDW)

C3-DD NeuroNet
This Karflo Corporation droid brain was produced for labor droids. It provided only enough intelligence to allow the droid to carry out its assigned tasks. (GSE)

C3-L1
Busurra's protocol droid. (RASB)

C-3PO
This Cybot Galactica 3PO-series protocol droid was originally manufactured on Affa more than 100 years before the Battle of Naboo. Over time, the original was dismantled, but the frame remained intact and turned up on Tatooine. There, C-3PO was rebuilt from spare parts by the nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker, although the finished product was virtually indistinguishable from a manufactured version. The droid's presence was a secret, as Anakin didn't want him taken away by his master, Watto. The number 3 in the droid's name was Anakin's attempt to indicate that the droid would be the third member of his family, beside himself and his mother. Upon being activated by Anakin, Threepio discovered that he had no memory of being transported to Tatooine, but soon recovered most of its translation programming. According to A Guide to the Star Wars Universe, C-3PO was activated around 95 PE.

By the time Anakin was freed from slavery by Qui-Gon Jinn, C-3PO was nearly completed. All C-3PO lacked was an outer skin and minor modifications. After young Anakin left to train with the Jedi Knights, his mother Shmi took it upon herself to complete the droid, since it had become practically a member of her family. Shmi kept the droid as an assistant, and she eventually gave him a battered outer skin, just after she married Cliegg Lars. Just prior to the Battle of Geonosis, C-3PO was reunited with the astromech droid named R2-D2, whom he had met when Anakin met Qui-Gon Jinn, when Anakin returned to Tatooine to rescue his mother.

After Shmi died, C-3PO was taken by Anakin to Geonosis, during an attempt to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi. C-3PO was caught in the droidworks on the planet, and his head was replaced with that of a Battle Droid. R2-D2 was later able to repair C-3PO, and the pair of droids served as the only witnessed to the marriage of Anakin and Padme' Amidala. When Padme' presented Anakin with R2-D2 as a show of affection, Anakin returned the favor by turning C-3PO over to Padme'. He claimed that he simply wanted her to keep an eye on the droid, but hoped that she would help her with her Senatorial duties.

In the wake of the Clone Wars, C-3PO was turned over to Raymus Antilles, and his memory was wiped to eliminate any information the droid might have retained about Padme's death during the birth of her twins, Luke and Leia. To prevent any possible recovery of information, the droid was also given deeply-hidden subroutines that prevented him from revealing information about any past experiences. Once they were deemed ready, the droids were sold off as a pair. With C-3PO acting as a translator for the astromech, the pair had many adventures avoiding Olag Greck in the Kalarba System. C-3PO was the victim of tampering by Movo Brattakin, who inserted an initiative submodule in his leg to help expose Greck and Jace Forno on Boonda the Hutt's moon.

After these adventures, the droids were once again split up, and it was rumored that C-3PO was for use in the Imperial Senate, translating the proceedings for a number of alien ambassadors. It was during this time that he was again reunited with R2-D2, who had been working as one of the Navy's astromech droids. Even though they had separate functions and programming, they maintained their version of friendship. Note that, despite what the Droids comics say about their meeting, the Star Wars Radio Drama infers that C-3PO and R2-D2 didn't meet until C-3PO was assigned as R2-D2's translator during routine labor assigning on the Tantive IV. While the exact truth had been lost over time, what was known was that the Alliance took Threepio under their domain and assigned him to mediate the various agreements between the Alliance and alien worlds. Note that Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope indicates that C-3PO was either still owned by Antilles during this time, or was reacquired by Antilles.

One such mission led him onto the Tantive IV, where he was again working with R2-D2. When the spunky astromech suggested they escape from the ship in an escape pod, Threepio followed him, fearing that the Empire would only melt him down. Unknown to Threepio, Artoo carried the plans to the first Death Star, and had been ordered by Leia Organa to deliver them to Obi-Wan Kenobi on Tatooine. Arriving on Tatooine, the droids were purchased by Owen Lars and his nephew, Luke Skywalker. Owen planned to use them on his moisture farm, but R2-D2 tricked Luke into removing a restraining bolt and fled the Lars homestead. C-3PO was damaged when Luke took him to recover the astromech droid, and they were beset by Tusken Raiders. This was fortuitous, however, as they were rescued by Obi-Wan.

It was during this time that some of Threepio's hidden programming was forced into activity. When R2-D2 displayed Princess Leia's message, Threepio was forced to explain that he did not know who she was. When Anakin Skywalker's old lightsaber was presented to Luke by Obi-Wan Kenobi, additional programming forced Threepio to enter a shutdown mode, to prevent the droid from revealing information about Anakin's true nature. Luke became C-3PO's forty-third master when Owen and Beru Lars were killed by Imperial stormtroopers, and remained by Luke's side for many years. It was C-3PO who helped Luke, Leia, and Han Solo escape from the trash compactor on the first Death Star, allowing them to survive and return R2-D2 to the Alliance personnel at Massassi Base on Yavin 4. In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, C-3PO served the Alliance on Hoth and other worlds, always working with R2-D2 as translator and sidekick. They were briefly split up when Luke Skywalker traveled to Dagobah, leaving C-3PO to follow Leia Organa and Han Solo. After escaping the Battle of Hoth, C-3PO found himself on Cloud City when the Millennium Falcon needed repairs. C-3PO thought he had discovered a friendly astromech droid on the floating city, but stumbled upon the stormtroopers who were setting up an ambush for Han and Leia. The stormtroopers fired on the droid, leaving C-3PO in pieces. Luckily, Chewbacca had noticed C-3PO's absence, and recovered the droid's parts before they could be melted down. The Wookiee partially repaired the droid, and R2-D2 completed the job when the group was reunited.

Months later, on the Forest Moon of Endor, C-3PO found himself an object of reverence by the Ewoks, who believed him to be a god. This allowed Threepio to gain the trust of the Ewoks, an act which ultimately helped the Alliance win the Battle of Endor and defat the Empire. During the early years of the New Republic, C-3PO was used by Luke, Leia, and Han in a number of missions, acting as translator and actor as needed. C-3PO's skills were put to the test during the Battle of Mindor, when the droid was ordered by Lando Calrissian to serve as an interface between the computers aboard the Remember Alderaan and the CC-7700/E vessels that were serving as interdiction ships. It wasn't until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy that C-3PO started to wonder about his own mortality, as the alien invaders began destroying any droid they found as an abomination. Despite these overwhleming odds, C-3PO continued to serve Luke and the Republic, even assisting in the translation of the Yuuzhan Vong language. When the Yuuzhan Vong finally surrendered at Coruscant, Threepio and Artoo-Detoo found that there was another battle they needed to confront: obsolescence. The two droids agreed that they would meet this and any other challenge just as they always had, with each other. Note that The New Rebellion states that C-3PO was three models out of date, some seventeen years after the Battle of Endor. This was unusual, given that C-3PO is supposedly well over 120 years old at the time. (E4, E4R, E5, E5R, E6, SGL, DRO, TNR, E1, SWRPG, OWS, E2, E2N, VD, UF, IWST, E3N, RFDV, TGD, LSSM)

C-3PX
A psychotic 3PX-series droid, C-3PX was owned by several different masters before it was acquired by the Sith Lord, Darth Maul. Based on the Cybot Galactica 3PO-series protocol droid, this droid was reprogrammed to act as the primary security measure aboard Lord Maul's Sith Infiltrator, and was infused with Dark Side energy through the mechu-deru skill. C-3PX had been constructed with no less than eighty-three different weapons, and Maul had also programmed the droid himself, so that it loyally followed his orders and could react suitably to almost any situation. Maul and C-3PX allowed themselves to be captured by Bartokk assassins on Ralltiir, during a mission to acquire droid starfighters for the Trade Federation. C-3PX feigned the whiny, worried tone of a protocol droid to further fool the Bartokks. After Maul learned that the Bartokks had been hired by Groodo the Hutt, he arranged for the destruction of the Ralltiir facility. It was believed that C-3PX was still inside when the building exploded. Maul had managed to escape, but C-3PX was left behind. After Maul's death during the Battle of Naboo, C-3PX was recovered by agents of the Old Republic, and its memory was wiped clean on the orders of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. After serving for several years at Republic Sienar Systems, C-3PX was programmed to serve as a spy for the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. After being lost by Admiral Terrinald Screed on Roon, the droid was partially dismantled when it was purchased by Olag Greck, who reprogrammed the droid to be an assassin. C-3PX evaded capture for a while, until it returned to Hosk Station. There, it was involved in a series of strange events when C-3PO's cranium was patched with an X-shaped marking. Both droids were taken for the assassin droid, and both ended up in Olag Greck's gladiator droid arena facing R2-D2. C-3PO survived, but C-3PX was destroyed by the power mallet mounted on R2-D2's Mandalorian battle armor. C-3PX had stun weapons and lasers built into its arms, and had a unique laser weapon built into the back of its head. Note that Star Wars: Episode I Adventures - The Fury of Darth Maul Indicates that C-3PX was a TC-series protocol droid. (DRO, GMR3, E1A3, NEGC, NEGD)

C3-series Droid
This was a model of Imperial labor droid. (MC75)

C-3TC
This reddish protocol droid was acquired by Valance Serth during the months just prior to the Battle of Yavin. Serth found himself the target of several attacks by agents of the Black Sun organization, who wanted to recover C-3TC. After Valance was shot down on an unknown world, C-3TC lost contact with its master and wandered aimlessly through the jungles. Unknown to the droid, Valance was trying to get rid of it, at the same time he was trying to escape from the Black Sun agents. (SWGAL)

C-4 Series Droid
This was the fourth of the new wave of protocol droids designed by Cybot Galactica and produced on Telti. Based on the popular 3PO-series droids, the C-4 series was considered a boutique droid. (TNR, EGD, NEGD)

C440
This Imperial container ship was discovered near the Alliance cruiser Lulsla, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. The C440 contained a cargo of Imperial probe droids that had disappeared. Maarek Stele and his gunboat wing were able to identify the container ship and its presence with the Lulsla, which helped members of the Secret Order of the Empire implicate Admiral Harkov in acts of treason against the Empire. (TIEP)

C442
A group of Imperial container ships captured by the Alliance. (XW)

C4-CZN
A mobile ion field gun. (TME)

C4KO
Once programmed for protocol and etiquette, this ancient droid was discovered by Operation Cracked Crystal beneath the surface of the planet Tilnes. Rather than politely asking the survey team to leave, C4KO began attacking them, speaking the entire time about how impolite it was for the team to be on Tilnes. Even an electromagnetic pulse wasn't enough to stop C4KO's attacks. Holographic recordings recovered from the exploration site revealed that C4KO believed that the survey team actually a tour group that was infringing on the property of the Verga Mer Mining Corporation by stealing different types of crystals. The droid's words indicated that it believed it was acting as a tour guide, and had to resort to physical punishment to prevent further theft of the crystals. Eventually, the survey team buried the droid with rocks and debris. (LFCW)

C4LR
This series of litigation droids was designed and manufactured by Caldrahlsen Mechanicals during the New Order. The C4LR found widespread acceptance among the members of the Imperial legal system, primarily because of the flawless memories and high reliability. (FOP, FTD)

C-4ME-O
This one-wheeled, durasteel-plated secretary droid served Imperial Commander Hotise aboard the Medstar Four frigate, during the early years of the New Order. C-4ME-O had originally been put into service on Coruscant, during the final decades of the Old Republic, and was conscripted into the Imperial Navy in the wake of the Clone Wars. Known as Fourmio, this droid was well-known among the crew because of the high-pitched squeaking of its balancing gyroscope. Fourmio helped keep the schedules for the doctors and surgeons who worked for Commander Hotise, and maintained the operational status of the Medstar Four's various operating theaters. When he wasn't near Hotise, Fourmio often did a near-perfect imitation of the Commander's voice and tone, surprising and amusing the surgeons.

Unlike other droids, C-4ME-O had never had a mindwipe, and retained a great deal of information in its memory banks. This helped the droid provide some background to Doctor Kornell Divini, after they were both assigned to the Sector N-1 medical ward aboard the first Death Star. Fourmio was able to identify Darth Vader, upon the Sith Lord's arrival. (DSTR)

C5
A series of bartender droids built by LeisureMech Enterprises. The C5 was equipped with five arms, a single optic scanner on a stalk, and a single wheel for locomotion. (TJP)

C-5 Series Droid
This was the fifth of the new wave of protocol droids designed by Cybot Galactica and produced on Telti. Based on the popular 3PO-series droids, the C-5 series was considered a boutique droid. (TNR, EGD, NEGD)

C558
A group of Imperial container ships captured by the Alliance. (XW)

C-5MO
This silver protocol droid served as the operator of a droid shop on the planet Bastion. Han Solo, Lobot, and Lando Calrissian ducked into C-5MO's store while they were being pursued by Imperial forces, hoping to break the contact the Imperials had with Lobot's impant and Moegid. They got a number of R8 astromech droids to communicate on Imperial search frequencies, blocking Lobot's link and allowing them to return to the Lady Luck. (VOF)

C-6
This was the designation of one of Atgar's batteries, used to power the 1.4 FD P-Tower laser cannon. Although the C-6 held just enough power for eight shots, it could be quickly replaced on the battlefield. The problem, as the Alliance found out at the Battle of Hoth, was ensuring that a steady supply of C-6 batteries was always available. (NEGW)

C-6 Series Droid
This was the sixth of the new wave of protocol droids designed by Cybot Galactica and produced on Telti. Based on the popular 3PO-series droids, the C-6 series was considered a boutique droid. (TNR, EGD, NEGD)

C6-E3
This was one of the many droids used by Vogga the Hutt at his primary warehouse on Nar Shaddaa, during the years following the Mandalorian Wars. (KOTOR2)

C-7 Series Droid
This was the seventh of the new wave of protocol droids designed by Cybot Galactica and produced on Telti. Based on the popular 3PO-series droids, the C-7 series was considered a boutique droid. (TNR, EGD, NEGD)

C-73 Tracker
This outdated starfighter was produced by Subpro before the Z-95 Headhunter. Most of them had been relegated to museums at the height of the New Order, but a few were maintained in credit-poor pirate fleets. The C-73 measured 11.5 meters in length, and was armed with a front-mounted double laser cannon. It was short-range fighter, lacking a hyperdrive. (PP)

C7-E3
This was one of the many droids used by Vogga the Hutt at his primary warehouse on Nar Shaddaa, during the years following the Mandalorian Wars. (KOTOR2)

C-7NO
This administrative droid was assigned to the Alliance's Team 19, and worked under the direction of Sergeant Whumparrin. (ROE)

C-8 Series Droid
This was the eighth of the new wave of protocol droids designed by Cybot Galactica and produced on Telti. Based on the popular 3PO-series droids, the C-8 series was considered a boutique droid. (TNR, EGD, NEGD)

C8-42
This droid belonged to Elise and her husband, who were living on the planet Dantooine some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. When her husband died, Elise became emotionally attached to C8-42, since the droid represented her noly remaining link to her husband. C8-42 found this attachment strange and somewhat stifling, as Elise doted on the droid and refused to interact with her fellow humans. In order to escape, C8-42 fled to the Jedi enclave, but Elise tracked it down. C8-42 pleaded with the Jedi Knights to destroy itself, so that Elise could be free again. The Jedi reluctantly agreed, and C8-42 was dismantled. (KOTOR)

C-9 Series Droid
This was the last of the new wave of protocol droids designed by Cybot Galactica and produced on Telti. Based on the popular 3PO-series droids, the C-8 series was considered a boutique droid. Among the improvements found in the C-9 series were heati and motion-sensitive detection devices added to their normal visual detection systems. Also, their feet were smaller than those of previous series. (TNR, EGD, NEGD)

C-9979
This was the model number of Haor Chall Engineering's landing craft. Built for the Neimoidians who controlled the Trade Federation, the C-9979 resembled a huge letter I when viewed from above. The four lobes of the craft held the various components of a Federation invasion force: eleven MTT transports (three in each half of the forward wing, two in the landing pedestal, and three in a staging area), 114 AAT battle tanks (twenty-four in each half of the forward wing, thirty-three in each half of the the rear wing), twenty-eight droid troop transports (seven in each half-wing), and the complete compliment of battle droids needed to control these smaller ships. The C-9979 required a crew of eighty-eight, and the Neimoidians used droids for all crew positions.

The transported vehicles were deployed from the lobes by a complex system of tracks and lifts that channeled them through the central section, which hung down below the I-shaped wings. Complete deployment of all forces took about forty-five minutes. The overall wingspan of the C-9979 was 340 meters. The vessel was lightly armed, with a pair of laser cannons mounted on the forward wingtips and four turret-mounted laser cannons spread around the main section. It lacked a hyperdrive, being purely a landing craft, but had a maximum atmospheric speed of 587 kph. (X1, CCS)

C-9P0
This copper-colored protocol droid was captured by the Red Knights of Life, shortly before Leia Organa Solo was scheduled to meet with Nom Anor. C-9PO was quickly dismantled by the Knights. (VP)

C-9PO
This new-model protocol droid was purchased and modified by Brakiss for use at his manufacturing facility on Telti. (TNR)

C9-RX0
This protocol droid was assigned to Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka Tano, when the Jedi arrived at Taloraan City to discuss an alliance between the Denfrandi and the Galactic Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. C9 accompanied Ahsoka on a tour of the city, explaining to her the relationship between Taloraan's unusual lifeforms. When Ahsoka saw a group of arms military personnel guarding a supposedly-empty warehouse, she decided to investigate. Confused by Ahsoka's plan to head for the rear of the warehouse, C9 decided to walk up to the guards and ask them what they were doing. This alerted the guards to Ahsoka's presence, although she was able to sneak in and see hundreds of Separatist battle droids inside the warehouse before the guards began firing their blasters at her. (CWWRT)

C9-T9
This droid was programmed to drive a racing swoop by Lupo, during the years following the Mandalorian Wars. Based on Lupo's programming, C9-T9 used any means possible to defeat any opponents, and his perfect record led many patrons of Lupo's bar to wonder if the swoop races he staged weren't, in fact, staged. C9-T9 was eventuall defeated by The Exile, ending a winning streak that stretched for months. (KOTOR2)

Ca
This Mandalorian word translated into Basic as "night." (OWS)

Caaldra
This criminal ringleader controlled a large portion of the Shelsha Sector underworld, during the height of the New Order. He had ties to all of the sector's major groups, including the BloodScar Pirates and several Imperial officers. Among his primary contacts were Shelsha Sector's chief administrator, Vilim Disra, who served as a liaison for Governor Barshnis Choard. He also worked directly with the leader of the BloodScars, known only as the Commodore.

It was at the BloodScar base on Gepparin that Caaldra first encountered Mara Jade, when she was following the backtrail from Moff Glovstoak's embezzlement of Imperial funds. Her investigations led to the BloodScars, which led her to commandeer the Happer's Way and use it as evidence of her goodwill in a scheme to infiltrate the pirates' base on Gepparin.

Caaldra was unsure of her true identity until the Commodore identified her as an Imperial agent, although he remained unaware that she was actually one of the Emperor's Hands. Thus, when the Commodore set a trap to kill her, Caaldra mad sure to escape as soon as he could, to avoid any further entanglements. He stole the Happer's Way and set off for Shelkonwa, where he planned to deliver the AT-STs inside the freighter to Chief Administrator Vilim Disra. The pair hoped to take possession of the walkers for themselves, but Jade had followed Caaldra to Shelkonwa, and used her influence as the Emperor's Hand to divert the Happer's Way to Greencliff Regional Spaceport.

As soon as Caaldra was not going to be able to reach Disra directly, he set about to take control of the situation himself. Activating one of the scout walkers, he blasted his way out of the freighter and tried to eliminate any resistance Jade or any other Imperials. He then put the AT-ST on autopilot, in an effort to draw off his pursuit, then set out for Disra's office on foot. Once there, he explained to Disra that he had already put their secession plans into motion, and that he would eliminate Jade to clean up the last loose end. However, when he encountered Jade at Governor Choard's residence, Caaldra tried to broker a deal: his complete freedom in exchange for all the information on the plans of Administrator Disra. He left out the fact that he had been working for Governor Choard, but Jade managed to drag this information out of him. It was during their discussion that Jade realized the stormtroopers she was working with - the so-called Hand of Judgment - had deserted their posts.

Realizing that things had turned against him, Caaldra tried to strike another deal with Jade, this time for his own life. She agreed to a duel, but knew that Caaldra would try to cheat. Thus, she appeared to give up her lightsaber for a blaster, giving Caaldra time to draw his own weapon and fire. Jade used the Force to draw the lightsaber back, deflecting Caaldra's blast back into his own chest. He died almost immediately from his injury. (A)

C'aama'
This was the Morishi name for the planet Caamas. (SOP)

Caamas
This was the second planet orbiting the star Cirius, located in the Core Worlds region of the galaxy. During the early centuries of the Old Republic, it was believed that the Jedi Order traveled to Caamas to learn about proper moral judgment from the native Caamasi. Caamas, once covered with marshlands, was one of the first worlds completely destroyed by the Empire. The event happened before the Death Star was created; in fact, the royal library on Alderaan contained a great deal of information on the attack, which burned every living thing off its surface. However, it was attacked in the early days of the New Order, and never became the focal point that Alderaan did. Many believed that, in addition to the peacefulness of the Caamasi and their possible connections to the Jedi Knights, the lack of a true army to defend Caamas made the planet an easy target. Official Imperial reports claimed that Caamas had been struck by a group of actinium bombs that had been deployed by the Separatists during the Clone Wars. The bombs had been drifting through the Core Worlds for many months before striking Caamas. As many as eighty percent of all Caamasi on the planet at the time of the attack were killed, and many others died in the resulting firestorms that swept the planet. It was estimated that, in the end, only 200 Caamasi survived the bombardment of the planet. Much of the planet's surface was altered by erosion that took place after the bombardment, caused by the destruction of virtually every form of plantlife. Only a dense clump of jungle grew on the planet, rumored to have been planted by alien visitors. In fact, the jungle was created when an Ithorian herdship crashed on Caamas. The plantlife inside the ship simply adapted to life on Caamas and began to grow outward at a fantastic rate.

The destruction of Caamas remained a mystery for many years, however, because it was known that Caamas was protected by a strong planetary shield. No one discovered how the shield was dropped until some ten years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Several datacards found near Mount Tantiss, on Wayland, implicated a group of Bothans in the attack, directly stating that they helped bring the shields down. The records of the actual Bothan clans involved were destroyed. The planet was wracked by intense firestorms for several years after the attack, which wiped out any living thing that might have survived the initial attack. The planet measured some 15,540 kilometers in diameter, and had a day which encompassed twenty-five standard hours.

The year on Caamas lasted 375 local days. (SOP, WOTC, SWI68, EGF, CN2)

Caamas Document
This was the name given to the datacard recovered from Mount Tantiss by Lak Jit, and which contained information which linked the Bothans to the destruction of Caamas. The datacard described how a group of Bothans were responsible for bringing down the planetary shields that protected Caamas, but the sections which named the Bothans was destroyed. Grodin Tierce managed to alter every copy the Empire had in its libraries, placing the names of many prominent Bothan clans in place of the true identities. Han Solo and Lando Calrissian were given an altered copy by Flim, who was posing as Grand Admiral Thrawn. Garm Bel Iblis and Booster Terrik mounted an assault on Yaga Minor's Ubiqtorate base to locate a copy at the same time Admiral Pellaeon allowed Ghent to obtain it from the Ubiqtorate's computers. The only unadulterated copy the New Republic managed to find was recovered by Artoo-Detoo, who was helping Luke Skywalker rescue Mara Jade, during their escape from the Hand of Thrawn complex on Nirauan. (SOP, VOF)

Caamas Incident
This term took on two meanings about fifteen years after the Battle of Endor. First and foremost, it referred to the destruction of the planet Caamas during Emperor Palpatine's early days in power. Second, it came to describe the reaction within the New Republic to information which implicated the Bothans in the attack on Caamas. Because Bothans had been instrumental in the formation of the New Republic, many of the member races were outraged when immediate reparations weren't made after the information was discovered. The Caamas Incident served to bring to the forefront several long-standing feuds between member races, including that of the Ishori and Diamala. These squabbles quickly spread to other races, and ignited a series of battles that the New Republic seemed powerless to put down. The remnants of the Empire, under Moff Disra, used the Incident to their advantage. They placed specialized riot groups throughout the galaxy, fomenting the suppressed alien grudges and bringing chaos to the Republic. (SOP)

Caamasi
This was the native language of the Caamasi people. (WOTC, CCW)

Caamasi
This peaceful race was native to the planet Caamas. The Caamasi were strong supporters of the Old Republic, and their calm wisdom and steadfast loyalty helped keep the Republic from completely disintegrating during its final years. It was believed that the ancient Jedi Knights traveled to Caamas to discuss the ethical use of the Force with the Caamasi, during the establishment of the Jedi Order. The name "Caamasi" literally meant "friend from afar" in their native language.

As a race, the Caamasi were covered in a golden, downy fur, highlighted on their faces by purple stripes. Their most striking physical feature was their blue-on-green eyes, although most beings considered their ability to telepathically share memories to be quite remarkable. The sharing of these memories, known as memnii in the Camaasi language, was so strong and powerful that an individual could experience a historical event as if they had been present, even though the actual event took place many years ealier.

In the wake of the Clone Wars, there were several thousand Caamasi off-world when the Empire attacked and destroyed the planet Caamas, leaving it a barren wasteland. The Caamasi were powerless to protest the attack, since it occurred during the early years of Emperor Palpatine's rule. What the Caamasi didn't know was that a group of Bothans had managed to sabotage Caamas' planetary shield, which allowed the Empire to attack the planet at will. Evidence of the Bothan involvement remained a well-kept secret, until a copy of the Caamas Document was discovered in the Mount Tantiss facility on Wayland.

Some of the surviving Caamasi tried to establish a colony on Alderaan's South Islands, hoping to someday rebuild their world. Others established a more permanent settlement on Kerilt. Others held out hope that a legal decision forcing the Bothans to purchase a new homeworld for the Caamasi would eventually be honored. Despite their differences, though, the Caamasi continued to work with the Bothans, working together to help establish the New Republic.

Although most Caamasi mated for life, they were forced to adopt polygamy during the era of the New Republic, in an effort to re-establish their once-vital race. (SOP, IJ, VOF, EGA, WOTC, NEGA)

Caamasi
This term meant "friend from afar" or "stranger to be trusted" in a number of languages throughout the gaalxy. Thus, it was not surprising that it was also the name of the alien race that was once native to the planet Caamas. (EGA, NEGA)

Caamasi Remnant
This was the name given to the various communities of dishomed Caamasi that dotted the galaxy, during the early years of the New Republic. The Caamasi were forced to establish settlements on planets such as Kerilt, after the Empire destroyed the surface of Caamas and left it a barren wasteland. (IJ, NEGA)

Caamor
This frozen ball of rock was the third world in the Cirius System. It was orbited by a single moon. (WOTC)

Caaraz
This tide-locked planet was geologically active. Both the frozen night-side and the baked day-side undergo regular tectonic movement, allowing subterranean gases, lava, and steam escape into the atmosphere. Along the terminator line between the night and day sides, this creates a thin habitable region, and it was here that the Ranth race evolved. However, very little other life had managed to survive of Caaraz, as it was continually destroyed. The planet was discovered by Imperial scouts. Two moons help provide illumination to the night-side of the planet. (GG12)

Caarimala
This was the native language of the Caarite race. (LFC)

Caarimon
This warm, steamy planet was the primary world in the Caarimoos System, located in the Outer Rim. It was also the homeworld of the Caarite race. Several millennia before the onset of the Clone Wars, the planet experienced a shift in its axial tilt, after an asteroid slammed into the surface. The resulting shift gave the planet a more tropical environment, reducing the duration of specific seasons. The Caarites once lived in regular cities, but soon discovered that many cities were producing toxinc wastes that were slowly killing the planet. In a massive effort, the Caarites began developing floating cities that never touched the ground, thereby preserving the strange and unusual plantlife that covered the surface. These cities were built to utilize the waste gases produced by plant respiration, and to outgas those compounds that were needed to sustain the surrounding plantlife. Transportation between cities was accomplished by using specialized speeders that worked on the same principles as the floating cities, using plant waste gases for fuel and releasing as exhaust the gases needed for the plants to survive. (LFC, MCT1)

Caarimon Conservation Ministry
see Caarimon Ministry of Conservation (MCT3)

Caarimon Ministry of Conservation
This branch of the Caarite government was charged with ensuring the safety of the planet's natural resources, most importantly the plantlife that covered Caarimon's surface. The primary duties of the Ministry included the overseeing of the spaceport at Joventusek, ensuring that offworlders were made aware of the rules that governed life on the planet. The Ministry also kept watch over the travel between Joventusek and the smaller, satellite cities that dotted the planet. (MCT3)

Caarite
This was a species of short, wide-headed humanoids that was native to the planet of Caarimon. The average Caarite was similar in appearance to a Sullustan, and was a friendly, jovial being. Unfortunately, most of the Caarites encountered off Caarimon were employed by the Metatheran Cartel, and had a penchant for underhanded dealings. Thus, many beings only saw the seedier side of the Caarite race. The average Caarite stood about a meter tall, and had pale pink skin that was translucent. Their hairless bodies were soft, and their upturned nosed gave them a pig-like appearance. Caarite children bore a striking resemblance to tiny Trandoshans, a fact that was often noted by offworld visitors to Caarimon.

As a people, the Caarites lived in a symbiotic relationship with their homeworld, and did what they could to ensure the natural environment of Caarimon's surface. The Caarites went so far as to build floating cities that were fueled by the respiratory byproducts of the native plantlife, and which outgased waste products that were made up of the gases elements needed for the plantlife to exist. All speeders used on the planet were developed with the same idea, to be fueled by the gases that were produced by the plants, and to give off exhausts that could be used by the plants to exist.

The Caarites were one of three races, along with the Neimoidians and the Filordi, which controlled the Trade Federation during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. However, both the Filordi and the Caarites were unprepared for the Neimoidians' plans to blockade the Naboo System, and decided to break off their relationship with the Trade Federation. Together, the two races formed the Metatheran Cartel, and began making plans to wrest control of Cularin from the Federation if the blockade of Naboo should fail. When the Federation was defeated at Naboo and was faced with the loss of their trade charter, the Metatheran Cartel assumed control of Cularin. (WOTC, EOS1, MCT2)

Caarite
This was the native language of the Caarite people. (WOTC)

Cabal, The
This group was formed by the dreamer and prophet Deamos Na-Coth to search the outermost reaches of the galaxy for the legendary planet Exo. The used huge colony ships to travel across space at a time when hyperspace travel was still dangerous, and many colony ships were lost because of pirates, ion storms, mutinies, and hyperdrive malfunctions. One of the Cabal's ships, the Exocros Cabal, discovered the planet Exocron. (KO)

Cabal, The
This pro-Imperial faction rose to power in the wake of the Battle of Endor. It was opposed by the Imperial Council chaired by Sate Pestage and commanded by Ysanne Isard. Much of the Cabal had holdings on Brentaal IV, which was why Isard and Pestage tried to draw Rogue Squadron to the world. They hoped to "rescue" the Cabal and its holdings, thereby proving that the Cabal was unable to control its own holdings, not to mention an entire Empire. Isard retained Lon Isoto in the position of control, to guard the moon against attack from the New Republic, knowing that he was favored by the Cabal but largely ineffectual. (XWES)

Cabalia Sea
This ocean was located on the planet Garos IV. (SWJ3)

Caballa City
This city was the capital of the planet Exocron. It was located along the coast of the planet's primary continent, and was situated near a bustling harbor. The city was laid out, designed, and built by the Devisors, and proved to most people that the Devisors were quite technically advanced. (KO)

Caba'Zan
This Falleen was the head of security for InterGalactic Ores, during the era leading up to the Battle of Naboo. When he discovered that the Toom Clan was acting on behalf of another party, in an effort to destroy both IGO and Lommit Limited, Caba'Zan joined forces with his former enemy, Patch Bruit, in an effort to destroy the gang. On the planet Riome, the combined forces of LL and IGO destroyed the Tooms, leaving the clan in a bloody heap on the snowy battlefield. The battle was far from over, though, as Darth Maul appeared to eliminate the survivors in order to cover up his part in the deception. In a swift series of movements, the Sith Lord broken Caba'Zan's arm and neck, killing the Falleen instantly. (DMS)

Cabbel
This promising Imperial Lieutenant was trained at the Officer's Candidate School on Carida. He graduated just prior to the Battle of Hoth, and was assigned as the First Officer aboard the Tyrant. Cabbel was known to be an ambitious, ruthless, and efficient officer. (CCG3)

Cabuloid Padhopper
This large creature had well-muscled rear legs used for leaping and jumping. (POT)

Cache Worlds
This was the Basic term used by the Bothans to describe the collection of planets in Bothan Space that were used as mining worlds. The term was derived from the fact that these planets provided with Bothans with a cache of natural resources, from raw ores and minerals to fossil fuels and foodstuffs. (RPG, OWS)

Cachi
This was a common name given to male Duros children. The name Cachi came from the term meaning "gentle". (GCG)

Cacodemon
This was a legendary creature from Naboo folklore, which crawled from the underworld but were killed by the sunlight. (GMR2)

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

Cacta
A low-growing plant with thick thorns, native to Tatooine. (QE)

Cacti Forests, The
Located on the planet Lan Barell, these forests were the traditional homelands of the Qieg. The forests were made up of immense cactus plants, which were large enough for the Qieg to carve out their hives from their trunks. In the earliest centuries of the Qieg civilization, the Cacti Forests covered most of the planet's plateaus. Continued harvesting and expansion of the Qieg hives, which was later coupled with the mining and dingory farming by humans, razed large tracts of the forests, until just a few large areas remained. This led to the gradual desertification of the planet, forcing the Barellians to develop new species of drought-resistant vegetation to help control the spread of the desert.

The areas of the Cacti Forests that remain continue to house hives of Qieg, and many have been adapted so that humans could live and work in them. Special sections of the forests were set aside for the native dingory population, but were regularly patrolled and guarded so that none of the canine creatures was able to come into contact with the Qieg. (SWJ1, OWS)

Cactus Pulque
This was a form of nutritious beverage that was pressed from the cactus plants which were native to the planet Tatooine. (IWST)

Cadaeda
This was the term used to describe the dean of the University of Coruscant. (CCW)

Cadaman, Tanner
This man represented his homeworld of Fenix to the Galactic Senate, during the final years of the Old Republic. He was also one of the many Senators who signed the Petition of the Two Thousand. In the wake of the Clone Wars and the establishment of the New Order, Senator Cadaman was among the sixty-three Senators who were arrested for allegedly supporting the so-called Jedi Rebellion. (SWI84)

Cadaman Royal Highway
This was the primary thoroughfare that ran through the city of Athar, on the planet JanFathal, during the decades leading up to the Clone Wars. (CWNOP)

Cadavine Sector
This sector of the galaxy contained the planet Zhar. (SESB)

Cademimu Sector
During the Galactic Civil War, Alliance operations in this area of the Outer Rim territories were believed to have been infiltrated by the Gand Findsman Lu'daal-ud. (AIR, WOA26)

Cadezia
This planet was a prosperous technology and business world located in the Trulalis System. (SWJ4, SWJ8)

Cadgel Meadows
This open grassland was located on the planet New Plympto, and was the site of the planet's largest civilian spaceport. It was here that the Nosaurian civilians fled during the Clone Wars, after fighting broke out between the Nosaurians and the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic. Unfortunately for the Nosaurians, the clone troopers were able to take control of Cadgel Meadows, and they captured any refugees who managed to reach the supposed safety of the spaceport. Those Nosaurians were eventually sold into slavery. (DT1)

Cadinth
This desert world was located within the Tion Hegemony. Like nearby Lianna, Cadinth's natural beauty was destroyed by intense industrialization, including several huge starports that served a wide variety of clients, including both the Empire and the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. Sprinkled throughout the chilly deserts of Cadinth were the ruins of prior civilizations. (ML, GORW, OWS)

Cadinth Oligarchy
This was the government which controlled the planet Cadinth during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN5)

Cadis Zak
This Imperial container group was operative during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE, TIEP)

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

Cadomai
This harsh, frigid planet was located in Catarlo Sector, and was the homeworld of the Snivvian race. Much of the planet was covered by sparse tundra. The planet was well-known for its artistic Snivvian transnovels. (ISB, GG12, SWJ11)

Cadomai Prime
This was another name for the planet Cadomai. (WOTC)

Cadrath
This man served the Imperial Navy as a TIE Fighter pilot, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. Cadrath was assigned to serve as Maarek Stele's first wingman, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, when he assisted Stele in performing picket duty near an Imperial waystation. They were attacked by Alliance starships who were hiding behind a convoy of supply vessels, but Stele and Cadrath were able to drive them off. (TSC)

Cadriell
This was the capital city of the planet Achillea, located on the western coast of the planet's northermost continent. (PGT, LOE)

Cadwell, Dana
This woman was one of KatholNet's most popular reporters, and also worked as the Gandle Ott correspondent for TriNebulon News, during the early years of the New Republic. She followed the FarStar around Kathol Sector, hoping to report on the capture of Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne and attract the attention of one of the larger, galaxy-wide news providers. (DARK)

Caedus, Darth
This was the title adopted by Jacen Solo, after he had killed Mara Jade Skywalker and ascended to the position of Dark Lord of the Sith, during the height of the Corellia-GA War. Jacen had been groomed for the role by Lumiya, and only accepted the title after killing Mara. This sacrifice was one of many layers, including the killing of a loved one and the loss of faith experienced by his apprentice, Ben Skywalker. Jacen spend several months coming to grips with his new title, alternately referring to himself as both Jacen and Caedus when in private. Outwardly, of course, he continued to be Jacen Solo. However, as time passed and he was able to consolidate more and more power, it became easier to think of himself as simply Darth Caedus. It was during this time that Jacen realized that he had not sacrificed the ability to love another being, only the ability to be loved by them.

Once he came to this realization, Caedus understood that his role was to deliver justice wherever it was deserved. One of the first actions he took after assuming the title was to send a detachment of Galactic Alliance Guards, under the command of Major Serpa, to take control of the Jedi training facility on Ossus. By holding the younglings there as hostages, under the pretense of protecting them from The Confederation, Caedus managed to add to the confusion that was surrounding the new Jedi Council, thereby deflecting them from learning that he was Mara's killer. He could not, however, deflect the attention of Ben Skywalker, who had somehow put the puzzle together and knew of Jacen's part in Mara's death.

When confronted by young Skywalker, Caedus allowed him to hear a modified piece of a recorded conversation that supposedly implicated former Chief of State Cal Omas in Mara's murder, as the recording seemed to have Omas ordering the murder as part of a plan to remove Luke Skywalker power. With subtle insinuation, Caedus convinced Ben that Omas was the actual killer, and set the young man on a path to murder the former Chief of State.

Meanwhile, Caedus began to assert control over the military, using Force-guided visions to move naval fleets into position near Balmorra and Kuat. His plans took a detour when Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker pulled the Jedi Order's support from the Galactic Alliance, leaving the Alliance to fight a battle of attrition at Kuat while forcing Caedus to chase the Jedi to Kashyyyk. There, Caedus ordered his commanders to fire on the jungle planet, burning huge portions of the surface with turbolaser fire in an effort to force the Jedi to surrender. The attack left Caedus momentarily vulnerable, allowing Ben Skywalker to draw his lightsaber and lash out at his former Master. Caedus moved aside at the last moment, and Ben's lightsaber made only a small cut before passing through Commander Twizzl's chest.

Rather than killing Ben outright, Caedus believed that the youth had finally chosen to follow the way of the Sith, and took him as an apprentice. However, he failed to see that Ben was driven to avenge his mother, not become a Sith Lord. Aboard the Anakin Solo, Caedus placed Ben in the Embrace of Pain, but was careful to sever Ben's connection to the Force. This allowed the youth to submit to the pain in short order, and helped drive home Caedus' claims of supremacy. While this was going on, however, Grand Master Skywalker infiltrated the ship and confronted Caedus, whom he still believed to be Jacen Solo. Their struggle was a resounding defeat for Caedus, who was badly beaten by Master Skywalker.

However, when Ben demanded to be the one to kill Caedus, his father refused, and their discussion gave Caedus a chance to recover. Before he could bring his lightsaber to bear against Master Skywalker, Caedus felt a sharp pain in his back, as Ben drove a vibroblade deep into his flesh. This gave the Skywalkers a chance to escape from the ship, leaving Caedus to suffer or die. The pain and agony he endured during his recovery allowed Jacen to shed all notions of his former self, and he fully embraced his role as Darth Caedus.

His survival was not guaranteed, however, as the Fifth Fleet and the Anakin Solo were soon surrounded by a massive force made up from Wookiee and Confederation warships. Caedus believed that he would be able to escape cleanly when the Hapan Home Fleet arrived, but was surprised to learn that the Hapans were there to support the Jedi. His surprise turned to cold fear when the Hapans opened fire on the Anakin Solo, since the ships arrayed against him far outnumbered his own forces.

He managed to survive and heal his wounds when Alema Rar arrived in the system and used the Dark Side of the Force to cause the Bothan fleet to break formation, giving Admiral Atoko enough of an opening to get the Star Destroyer and the rest of the Fifth Fleet to safety. Although now a Sith Lord, Caedus retained a deep-seated love for his daughter, Allana, and silently vowed to kill any being who came between them. In order to ensure Allana's safety, and to punish Tenel Ka for withdrawing the Hapes Cluster from the Galactic Alliance, Caedus infiltrated the planet Hapes and kidnapped Allana. He kept her hidden in a secret chamber aboard the Anakin Solo, using fabrications to explain her presence on the ship and why she couldn't see her mother. To the Hapans and the Queen Mother, Caedus left a simple message from Jacen Solo: rejoin the Galactic Alliance, or Allana would die. He never thought of actually killing the girl, but needed the Hapan Navy to ensure his conquering of the galaxy would be complete. After surviving a Jedi assault on his Coruscant offices, Caedus continued to cultivate his relationship with Tahiri Veila, hoping that she would continue to serve as his spy among the Jedi. In exchange for her loyalty, he taught her how to flow-walk, and they often returned to the time of Anakin Solo's death at Myrkr.

Although he understood Tahiri's need to see Anakin, Caedus came to despise his younger brother, and sometimes wondered what had made him name his Super Star Destroyer in his honor. Shortly after capturing Allana, Caedus agreed to meet with the Five Worlds Prime Minister, Sadras Koyan, to discuss Corellia's possible return to the Galactic Alliance. He was surprised when Koyan did not appear at the rendezvous point, but agreed to discuss the matter with Corellian Captain Hoclaw. Adding to his surprise was the fact that his mother appeared aboard the Anakin Solo, ostensibly to discuss Jacen Solo's actions. It was Leia who first discovered that the Corellians were lying about the rendezvous, and planned to attack the Galactic Alliance ships. Darth Caedus fled the Star Destroyer, taking Allana with him in an experimental TIE Reconnaissance Fighter, and was attacked by the Jedi of the Red Sword Flight, who had also taken advantage of the opportunity to capture him. This gave Caedus a clear view of the blast from Centerpoint Station, which had been commandeered by Sadras Koyan for the attack. He returned to the Anakin Solo, which had been damaged in the blast, and ordered any survivors recovered before returning to Coruscant.

Caedus then set plans in motion to capture or destroy Centerpoint Station, realizing that the station's planetary repulsor could no longer exist as a Corellian asset. During the assault on Centerpoint, Caedus was once again unaware that his family had infiltrated the Anakin Solo, and this time they managed to rescue Allana and take her back to Hapes. Although Centerpoint was destroyed, Darth Caedus found that he was now utterly alone. He had sacrificed the love of so many people, including his aunt and his daughter, but he was secure in the belief that he had made those sacrifices for the betterment of the rest of the galaxy. He maintained a few close contacts, including Tahiri and Lon Shevu, and eventually revealed his true nature to both of them over the coming weeks.

When he began discussing plans to capture Fondor with Admiral Niathal, Caedus was forced to admit that he had become a Sith Lord. Many of the crew aboard the Anakin Solo had witnessed a change in the color of his eyes, which turned a burning yellow color whenever Caedus seemed to be under stress. At Fondor, Caedus had to react to the fact that the first part of his mission, which was predicated on the use of space mines to trap the Fondorian navy, would have to be scrapped after the minelayers were destroyed. He chose to lead from the front, flying his StealthX fighter on a patrol. He was unprepared when a huge fleet of outdated warships suddenly jumped into the system, and his confusion only mounted when none of the other Galactic Alliance vessels could see them. His confusion turned to fear when his StealthX started taking hits from an unseen foe, but he eventually discerned that it was Luke Skywalker who was attacking him. Caedus executed a forced landing aboard the Anakin Solo to escape, but had to deal with the crew's apprehension about his mental state, since no one else had seen the phantom warships. It didn't help his credibility that Admiral Cha Niathal witnessed the event from her flagship Ocean, and questioned his mental status on an open link to the other fleet commanders.

Darth Caedus re-asserted himself as the Second Battle of Fondor unfolded, using the Force to create a battle-mind meld with many of the commanders on duty. He also used his skills to convince the operators who controlled Fondor's planetary shield to drop the shields, when he made a run at Oridin City. This run was not approved or supported by Admiral Niathal, who was forced to withdraw her support and claim that Caedus was operating as a rogue vessel. While Caedus pounded Oridin City and other urban centers from the Anakin Solo, Niathal negotiated a cease-fire with President Shas Vadde, and relieved Caedus of his command and ordered him to stand down. When he refused, she tried to assume control of the Galactic Alliance fleet. Many commanders were unsure what do to when their leadership was split, and Darth Caedus was forced to break off his attacks in order to consolidate his position back on Coruscant.

Before he could escape, however, Caedus took a med runner from the Anakin Solo and traveled to the Bloodfin to rescue Tahiri, who had been serving as his liaison to the Imperial leadership. He was forced to fight his way past several Mandalorians who had also boarded the ship on orders from Admiral Daala, but was confronted by Boba Fett in an accessway. He tried to escape by using the Force to make himself look like Ailyn Vel, but Fett refused to be duped. He placed a blaster Caedus' knee and fired, shattering the knee and leaving Caedus all but helpless. Fett then abandoned him, leaving Caedus with the knowledge that the Mandalorians could reach him at any time.

Upon returning to Coruscant and establishing a new base of power, Caedus admitted to Shevu that he was now a Sith Lord, in a lengthy explanation that also included his own confession for - and rationale behind - the killing of Mara Jade Skywalker. According to Caedus, the killing of Mara Jade Skywalker had been nothing more than self-defense, since she had tried to kill him. Unknown to Caedus, Shevu had taped the entire conversation, and sent a complete recording to Ben Skywalker and the members of the Jedi Order. In the weeks that followed, Caedus came to realize that he had fallen into the same trap that other Sith Lords had experienced, in that he had tried to cut off those who loved him in order to avoid the distraction of love, when he should have embraced it. He vowed to do whatever it took to hold on to love, but to also accept the pain that it brought, in order to maintain Balance in the galaxy.

Caedus was then forced to travel to the Nickel One asteroid, after the Imperial Moffs launched an attack to take control of the Verpine factories there. He tried to ensure that their actions served the good of the Galactic Alliance, but was aware that they were going to be attacked by a group of Mandalorians. He maneuvered the Moffs into a central chamber, where they were in a single place for the Mandalorians to bring down. During the attack, however, Caedus also realized that his parents and Luke Skywalker were in the area above the asteroid. Thus, he was shocked when Skywalker appeared in the chamber and attacked Caedus, prompting a vicious struggle in which Caedus was forced to retreat in the face of Skywalker's unorthodox tactics. Caedus tried to use a fragmentation grenade to take his opponent out, but the grenade stopped short and exploded between them. Caedus was further thrown off-guard when Skywalker came at him with a lightsaber and a Mandalorian beskad, the latter of which he used to cleave off one of Caedus' arms. Calling on his anger and frustration, Caedus fought back with a vicious blast of Force lightning that sent his opponent crashing to a wall.

It was then that Caedus sensed that his attacker was not Luke Skywalker, but his own sister, Jaina Solo. The sight of his sister momentarily confused Caedus, and his confusion only heightened when he was attacked by another Jedi. Jaina managed to escape, and Caedus was unable to find the second attacker, but he did manage to recover the unconscious body of Mirta Gev, and had her revived for interrogation. Tahiri returned to his side shortly afterward, bearing news that Ben Skywalker had escaped. She revealed that she had captured Prince Isolder of Hapes, in the hope that he might provide information on the new Jedi base. Caedus then revealed that he had already isolated the Transitory Mists as the probable location for the base, keeping to himself the fact that he used a technique known as the blood trail to find the Jedi.

After interrogating Mirta Gev and learning little new information about the presence of his sister and Luke Skywalker on Nickel One, Darth Caedus became convinced that the key to his winning the war was the elimination of Master Skywalker. Commanding the Anakin Solo himself, Caedus plunged into the Transitory Mists with a fleet that was augmented by the presence of the Megador and warships from the Imperial Remnant. He immersed himself in the Force, trying to follow the blood trail and avoid the trap that he knew Master Skywalker was setting. After both Skywalker and his sister made bombing runs on the Anakin Solo and he had managed to survive, Caedus believed that he would finally win the war. A vision of a grown-up Allana then came to him, although it was swept away by a vision of Jaina coming to confront him.

His subordinates and the Moffs who had accompanied him on the mission were not convinced of such success, and suggested that they be allowed to draw some of Isolder's blood, in order to create a nanokiller that would destroy Tenel Ka. They hoped to throw the Hapan Home Fleet into disarray, but Caedus could not allow this, since it would sacrifice Allana's life, which he had sensed aboard the Dragon Queen. Caedus decided to set Isolder free, so long as he convinced the Hapans to abandon the fighting, but he refused, believing that the nanokiller had already been created. Without questioning how Isolder knew about the nanokillers, Caedus snapped Isolder's neck, then ordered his crew to destroy the Beam Racer, in order to ensure the Moffs could not attack his daughter. He himself carried Isolder's body to the Biodisposal Pit, in order to ensure that it was fully incinerated. Thus, he was shocked and furious to learn from a GP-2 medical droid that the Moffs had already obtained samples of Isolder's blood.

Before he could order the Imperials to be detained, Caedus found himself face-to-face with his sister, Jaina, who used the moment of surprise to draw her lightsaber and stab it into his stomach. Caedus recovered quickly, pushing her back with Force lightning before drawing his own lightsaber to attack. Their battle was evenly matched until Caedus decided to deactivate his lightsaber and beg Jaina to stop, so that he could find a way to rescue Tenel Ka and Allana. Jaina refused to be baited and lunged at him again. Caedus managed to get under her guard, and he used the Force to fling her at the Biodisposal Pit. Jaina herself called upon the Force to avoid falling in, but her back was badly burned when it contacted the durasteel of the pit. Instead of giving in to the emotions that flooded her mind, Jaina called upon the Force to flood through her, and attacked Caedus one final time.

After she managed to sever the tendon in his leg, Caedus realized that there was only one way to save his daughter. He abandoned his defense and called upon the Force to issue a psychic warning to Tenel Ka. This gave Jaina an opportunity to drive her lightsaber into his chest, cutting through ribs until it destroyed his heart. (LF5, LF6, LF8, LF9)

Caelli, Vance
This man, a native of the planet Socorro, was one of the two founders of the Caelli-Merced Syndicate. (BSS)

Caelli-Merced Syndicate
Despite its name, this organization doesn't deal in crime. It does, however, supply much of the Socorran System with illegal weapons, starship upgrades, and small ground vehicles. Founded by Vance Caelli and Lee Merced, the Syndicate was well-known for its exquisite and well-made wares. (BSS)

Caelus
This New Republic battle cruiser was part of the primary fleet stationed at Durren. When Seti Ashgad instigated pirate attacks on Ampliquen during his attempt to gain control of the galaxy with Dzym, the Caelus and the Corbantis were dispatched to Ampliquen. Both ships were infected with the Death Seed plague by Ashgad's agents, and once the crews were killed the ships were disposed on on distant planets. (POT)

Caer
This Bothan name was given to newborn females. Translated into Basic, it meant "Springlike." (GCG, WOTC)

Caerbellak
This Imperial Moff was one of the most dangerous Imperials to survive the Battle of Endor and the fall of the Empire. He firmly believed he could bring about the downfall of the New Republic and restore the New Order to the galaxy. He began working toward this goal by removing any Republic support from his base sector, starting on the capital world of Rydonni Prime. He employed Rythani Products much the same way Palpatine did, contracting out military manufacturing and research. Caerbellak was a man who was equally adept at shady politics and military offensives, and had no qualms about using either when the need arose. He saw a chance to gain a great deal of power when Rythani began work on a prototype weapon that would help him wipe out supporters of the Republic. When the monarch of Rydonni Prime got in his way, Caerbellak fostered a relationship with his daughter, Kalieva K'ntarr. When Sienn Sconn tried to steal the prototype, Caerbellak allowed the theft to occur just as he killed the Rydonni king. With the help of Kalieva, Caerbellak became the de facto executive of Rythani Products as well as the consort of the ruler of Rydonni Prime. The prototype found its way to the New Republic, and using hidden transmitters, Caerbellak began marking New Republic outposts and research centers for destruction. (SWJ9)

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

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

Caira

C'airam, Salla
This Bergamasque ran an upscale bar and casino which catered to the tastes of the galaxy's most elite beings. In deference to their security, C'airam confiscated the weapons of anyone entering the establishment. In order to unobtrusively detect the presence of a weapon, C'airam kept a group of ergovores near the entrance to the building. The ergovores were purposely denied a steady diet of energy, heightening their ability to sense its presence. (HM)

Cairn
This asteroid served as the base of operations for Galak Fyyar, during the early years of the New Republic. (JK2)

Cairn
This was one of the larger Rodian clans, living on Rodia during the last decades of the Old Republic. They were bitter enemies of the Reeven clan, and were led into battle by Evo the Blue. However, the Reeven clan had hired the assistance of Nym and his mercenaries, and the Cairns were quickly dispatched. Nym used an illegal thermal detonator to destroy the entire Cairn clan in one vicious blast. (CRBN)

Cairn
This was one of the largest cities on the planet Seikosha. (POC)

Cairnhound
This vicious predator was native to the planet Rentalles. They hunted in packs, and attack with a combination of sharp teeth and long talons. (MBC)

Cairnmog
This beast, native to the planet Chandrila, was hunted at the Hanna Wild Game Reserve for its tasty flesh. Resembling a large, hoofed lizard, the cairnmog was covered with bony spikes that served as protection. They could also be extended slightly in a dominance display, when the cairnmog inhaled a great breath and expanded its body to appear more threatening. Like most reptiles, these creatures had to hibernate in the winter. Cairnmogs were not carnivorous, but could be vicious when cornered or attacked. (CCW)

Cairnwick, Drun
This highly charismatic Alliance supporter led much of the resistance in the Minos Cluster during the Galactic Civil War. Cairnwick was training to become a Jedi Knight when the Empire took control of the galaxy. He hid on his homeworld of Adarlon, where he told his neighbors about the atrocities the Empire was committing. This incited the natives of Adarlon to rebel against Imperial control, and brought a group of stormtroopers down on his headquarters. Cairnwick had fled before they arrived, and managed to remain in hiding a few more years before he was eventually captured. He was arrested shortly after the Battle of Yavin, but still managed to rally support for the Alliance on the prison world Gesaril. He managed to rescue a group of Alliance POWs before stormtroopers could discover what had happened and seal the prison. (GG6)

Cairoka bird
White birds native to Alderaan. (CPL)

Cakhmaim
A Noghri of the clan Eikh'mir, Cakhmaim was assigned to guard Leia Organa Solo's twins during the reign of Grand Admiral Thrawn, five years after the Battle of Endor. Han Solo had decided to participate in the mission to destroy Thrawn's cloning facility on Wayland, and needed someone he could trust to help Leia and Winter protect Jaina and Jacen Solo. Cakhmaim and nine companions were dispatched to Coruscant to fulfill the mission. Cakhmaim's services were called upon some ten years later, just before the Caamas Incident, and continued into the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy.

As the Noghri continued to pay off their supposed debt, Leia came to trust Cakhmaim and one other Noghri, Meewalh, the most. These two Noghri accompanied Leia wherever she went for the next several years, until Leia finally tried to set off on her own. During Thrackan Sal-Solo's bid for Corellian independence, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, Leia and Han were forced to leave the Noghri behind, in an effort to avoid drawing attention to themselves as they worked behind the scenes to understand the situation in the galaxy.

The Noghri were reunited with the Solos in the wake of Sal-Solo's assassination, only to be thrust into the midst of the Heritage Council's bid to take control of the Hapes Consortium. During an intense battle between the Hapan Royal Navy and the Heritage Fleet, the Noghri took up positions in the Millennium Falcon's quad-alser turrets, where they managed to keep enemy ships from pounding the Falcon into space dust. However, in the midst of evading enemy ships, the Falcon took fire from the Star Destroyer Anakin Solo, which was being commanded by their own son, Jacen. Several of the Star Destroyer's blasts breeched the ship's shields, and exploded against the weapons turrets. Both Cakhmaim and Meewalh were killed in the blasts. The Solos were dismayed that the explosions had utterly incinerated their bodies, because they could not hold a proper funeral for their companions. (TLC, SOP, FH1, LF2, LF3, LF4)

Cal
A yellow star which was the primary sun for Tibrin. (GG4)

Cal
This was a shortened name that was used to describe the Mon Calamari race. It was used by those beings who were largely ignorant of the Mon Calamari, and was considered more incorrect than the term Mon Cal. (OWS, DU)

Cal
This young man was one of the thousands of Jedi Padawans who were thrust into battle during the Clone Wars. Distinguished by his short-cropped blond hair, Cal was the student of Jedi Master Tyffix, who was also killed in battle when Sephi suicide bombers infiltrated their command post. This left Cal and fellow Padawan Pix stranded with only a handful of clone troopers for support. Their call for aid reached Coruscant, and Jedi Master Yoda traveled to Thustra to try and convince King Alaric to remain loyal to the Old Republic. Alaric refused, and had both Yoda and Cal imprisoned until the battle was over. Cal became increasing agitated at Yoda's lack of action, wondering why the Jedi Master refused to take matters into his own hands. Yoda tried to make the youth see the error of his aggressive ways, remembering the charity Cal had as a boy. Cal, however, grew more and more impatient with the diminutive Jedi Master, and was more than willing to listen when Alaric's nephew, Navi, came to speak to him privately. Navi's words further kindled Cal's desire to fight, and he provided the young Jedi with a fabricated escape route. Although he convinced Yoda to follow him, Cal was unable to persuade him to defend himself when the escape route turned out to be a trap. Cal fought valiantly, but was cut down by blaster fire. As he died, Cal cursed Yoda for his lack of action, blaming Yoda for not killing Alaric when he had a chance. Yoda did his best to ease Cal's pain, but could not convince the young student of his errors. (J5)

Cal
This was one of the most common names given to male Corellians. (GMR9)

Cal Ambre
This modified Kumauri Cal-class warship was used as a luxury gambling liner during the height of the New Order. It maintained a permanent orbit in the Bramior System, near Rove and just outside the system's asteroid field. The ship's armament was reduced to a single mass driver weapon, a pair of turbolaser cannons, and six tractor beam projectors. These weapons systems serve more to ensure that no stray asteroids impact the ship than for defense. Much of its internal structure was modified to create quest quarters and casinos, while the hangar bays were extensively reworked to accommodate the small shuttles used by its patrons. The ship was run by a crew of 2,150, with 46 gunners manning the defenses. It could transport up to 9,000 pasengers in luxurious comfort, and remain in orbit for up to three months before needing to be re-supplied. The primary game of chance played aboard the ship was Bombarde, developed specifically for the Cal Ambre. (CRO)

Calabar Queen
This luxury starliner was owned by Imperial Corusca Lines at the height of the New Order. It suddenly exploded as it approached Cadomai, and the Justice Action Network claimed responsibility. (SWJ11)

Calabosh-2
This was a planet that was located in the Outer Rim. (AEG)

Caladian, Curran
This Svivreni and his cousin, Tyro Caladian, served as aides in the Galactic, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. After Tyro was killed in the massacre that occurred in the Senate just before the Battle of Geonosis, Curran began to openly doubt the ability of the Senate to maintain the peace and prosperity of the Old Republic. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Currann found himself targetted by the Enemy Eradication Order of Coruscant, after Chancellor Palpatine named himself Emperor and instituted the New Order. Rather than submitting to Imperial domination, Curran eliminated all records of his existence and joined the Erased.

He was somewhat dismayed when he was introduced to Ferus Olin by Dexter Jettster, because Curran recalled that Ferus had saved Palpatine's life on the day Tyro was killed. Like many of his fellow Erased, Curran wanted to locate Solace and find peace, so he was more than willing to accompany Ferus Olin and Trever Flume on their search. After locating the Solace and identifying her as the former Jedi Fy-Tor-Ana, Ferus and Trever set out to return to the surface and prevent Inquisitor Malorum from locating them. Curran and the other members of the Erased remained behind in the underground settlement, but found themselves under attack by the agents sent by Malorum. Curran was later found among the rubble, and eventually rejoined Solace during the attempt to free Ferus from the Dontamo Prison.

When Ferus was captured by Emperor Palpatine and sent to Samaria, Curran and Keets Freely remained on Coruscant to report on the actions of the Imperial forces there. They were able to break into the offices of Senator Sano Sauro and acquire a wealth of datafiles linking the Senator to the True Justice, but were arrested by Zackery and held for questioning. The pair might have been executed if the aging waitress droid WA-7 hadn't shown up. Posing as a cook droid, WA-7 helped them escape, and asked them to say "Hello" to Dexter Jettster for her.

The group fled back to the safety of Dexter's hideout in the Orange District, where they awaited news from their fellow rebels. When Clive Flax arrived with Astri Oddo and her young son, Lune, Curran and Keets Freely found themselves appointed the young boy's guardians. They took him on several trips to the surface, where the boy could get some exercise and see the sun once in a while. It was during one of these trips that Lune began using the Force to enhance his playtime, attracting the attention of a group of stormtroopers. Keets and Curran managed to reach Lune first, but they were pursued into the undercity and eventually caught. Curran was badly shot in the shoulder and left behind, while Lune and Keets were captured and taken away. He managed to reach the safety of the Orange District, where he was treated for his injuries.

His return preceded an Imperial attack on Thugger's Alley, forcing the members of the resistance to find a new location for their base. Curran, Keets, and Dex were forced into hiding during this time, but sent work to Oryon that they were alive and well. However, upon being reunited with the others, Curran announced that he was going to remove himself from the resistance. Along with Keets and Dex, Curran believed that their presence among the other members of Moonstrike was drawing too much attention to the group, and would only prove to be more harm than good. The three later met up with another colony of Erased beings, and established a secret colony inside one of water cisterns that were buried beneath Coruscant's surface. (LJ3, LJ4, LJ5, LJ7, LJ10)

Caladian, Tyro
This black-haired Svivreni was a lawyer and Senatorial aide for the Old Republic, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Tyro provided investigative services to Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, during their investigation of Granta Omega. It was Tyro who suggested that the Jedi issue an order to reveal against Senator Sano Sauro, and helped the Jedi work their way through the incredible amount of paperwork required. Unfortunately, Senator Sauro invoked a sitting right of refusal, blocking their attempt to open his personal records.

Tyro committed himself to digging deeper into the situation, offering any assistance he could to Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan continued to rely on Tyro's connections in the Senate for many months, durnig which time the Jedi were trying to track down Granta Omega. When it was discovered that Omega's true target was on Coruscant, Tyro was more than happy to help the Jedi determine what might be the connections between Omega, Roy Teda, Sano Sauro, and Bog Divinian. However, he made his greatest discovery just before Omega launched his seeker droids on the Senate. He tried to reach Obi-Wan in the Senate chambers, but was shot and badly wounded while trying to reach him. As Obi-Wan reached him, Tyro died from his injuries before he could explain what he had found. In the true Svivreni way, Obi-Wan didn't say goodbye, but wished Tyro luck on his new journey. (JQ5, JQ9)

Calamar
The capital city of the planet Esseles, Calamar was distinguished as a center of high culture in the Darpa Sector. The outskirts were filled with parks, art centers, and schools, and some of the sector's most influential theater and entertainment were based in the city's center. (CRO, CCW)

Calamari
This New Republic warship, a Mon Calamari MC90 cruiser, was commanded by General Ceousa during the attack on the planet Almania. (TNR)

Calamari
An ocean-covered world with little solid land mass, Calamari was originally known as Dac. It was the homeworld of two amphibious races, the Mon Calamari and the Quarren. Because of the role of the Mon Calamari in defeating the Empire, many beings came to call the planet Mon Calamari, or simply Calamari. This rankled the Quarren population, who accepted the name change but used the name Dac in their own conversations. Calamari was a tectonically stable world, lacking any mountains to break up the ocean that covered its surface. Calamari was orbited by a single moon. Its day lasted about 21 standard hours, and its year spanned 398 local days. The planet was covered with deep oceans, with many islands and coral atolls. Much of the exposed land was marshy, and incapable of supporting any kind of civilization. Thus, the two native species turned to building floating cities from the ores mined from the ocean floor. Some parts of the cities were exposed above the ocean's surface, but the majority of the space in Calamarian cities was underwater.

Much of the planet's history was written in the civil wars staged between the Quarren and the Mon Calamari, although these wars became little more than skirmishes as both sides lacked the firepower to destroy each other. That all nearly changed with the onset of the Clone Wars, when the Quarren Isolation League threatened to turn the planet over to the Separatists. Only the intervention of Jedi Master Kit Fisto, and his rallying of the Mon Calamari Knights, managed to fend off the Quarren and keep the planet free. However, the resentment between the two races continued to ferment just below the surface. When the Quarren assumed control of the planetary government, in the wake of the Battle of Caamas, they reverted using the planet's original name, Dac.

Calamari was also famous for its orbital shipyards, another fact which made the planet a prime target for opposing factions throughout the history of the galaxy. For many decades, the Mon Calamari controlled the planetary government, and allied the shipyards with the Alliance and the New Republic. In the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant, and the death of Borsk Fey'lya, the New Republic's provisional government - led by the newly-elected Chief of State Cal Omas - was established on Calamari. After the surrender of the Yuuzhan Vong near Coruscant, the Galactic Alliance put plans in place to rebuild Coruscant to once again serve as the political center of the galaxy. Because of its remote location, Calamari was returned to the Quarren and the Mon Calamari when the Galactic Alliance chose to make its temporary base on Denon. In the years that followed, the Quarren assumed more and more control over the shipyards, and eventually allied them with the New Empire. The shipyards were badly damaged when Admiral Gar Stazi tried to steal the Star Destroyer Imperious, crippling the New Empire's ability to produce and repair starships. (E6, DE1, SWSB, GG4, DA, COTF, DESB, DW, OWS, UF, SWLI, SWLW, XWP)

Calamari, Mon
This being was one of the many Senators who signed the Petition of the Two Thousand, calling for the elimination of certain emergency powers that had been granted to Chancellor Palpatine during the Clone Wars.

Calamarian Knowledge Bank
This was the name given to a large group of giant bivalve shell creatures which inhabited the deepest parts of the oceans found on the planet Calamari. These clams were, in effect, giant brains capable of storing incredible amounts of information. They listened to the daily life of the creatures around them, sifting through information accumulated by a network of small, non-sentient creatures that mindlessly collected data from the Mon Cals and the Quarren, and stored the data for later use. The Mon Calamari and the Quarren could petition the banks for information at any time. When unopened, these mollusks appeared to be overly large shellfish. However, when the shell opened up, the flesh inside was convoluted like the tissue of a brain. It pulsed and throbbed with life, and emitted a yellow glow that lit up their underwater sites. (DA, JASB)

The length of a calamity season was variable, and there was no set point in Riflor's year when it occurred. The start and end of a given calamity season were simply makred by the end and beginning of calm periods. (GMR4)

Calandra, Annora
This woman was an auditor with the Mining Guild, at the height of the New Order. This meant that she spent most her time traveling to member companies and collecting their membership fees. However, she found that her position as auditor meant that she was simply at the beck and call of her superiors, who demanded that they remain outside any Imperial entanglements. Shortly before the Battle of Endor, she established a coalition of individuals who agreed to work with House Melantha to force the Empire out of Tapani Sector. She only went along with Vaskel Savill's plans because they furthered her own, but she was unaware that Savill planned to eliminate her after the destruction of the Imperial torpedo sphere near Tallaan. After her participating in the annual Vor-cal, it was revealed that Annora was also representing the Nok Cartel and several members of The Chamber, who were also funding the mission to destroy the torpedo sphere but wanted to remain anonymous.

Much of its assets were placed under the control of Imperial Munitions. Note that this corporation is referred to as Caliban in the Arms and Equipment Guide. (GG9, AEG)

Calcified Lichens
This unusual musical group was popular during the last decades of the Old Republic. (CCW)

Calcifier
This form of Yuuzhan Vong biocreation was used to implant yorik coral into the body of an enslaved being. The calcifier had speciallized limbs which allowed it to cut into flesh. Then, it would actually break off pieces of itself and place them inside the victim's body. Over time, these implants of yorik coral crippled the victim and rendered them helpless. (JE)

Cal-class Warship
An Old Republic warship, the Cal-class ship measured 3,000 meters in length. It was armed with a huge mass drive weapon mounted atop the main hull, as well as early turbolaser emplacements and tractor beams. Its design was based on the original Kumauri Battleship, but was rendered obsolete with the advent of full-ship shielding and the advancement of turbolaser technology. (CRO)

Calculator
One of Kud'ar Mub'at's organic subnodes, Calculator was created to determine any number of mathematical outcomes. Calculator could provide data on how quickly a ship would arrive at the web, once it had been spotted. It could also be used to determine the odds of a certain event happening. However, Calculator was not involved in the maintenance of Mub'at's finances. This was left to the treacherous Balancesheet. (MA)

This ancient Jedi Knight was once part of the terentatek-hunting team that was led by Duron Qel-Droma and his partners, Guun Han Saresh and Shaela Nuur, during the years of the Great Hunt. He was injured on a terentetak hunt on Taooine, and was therefore unable to accompany his teammates on their fateful missions to Korriban and Kashyyyk. (T23)

Caleb
This man was a noted healer who made his home in the wastes of Ambria, a millennium before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. He was afraid of nothing, having fought against the denizens of the planet as well as members of the Jedi Knights and the Brotherhood of Darkness. To Caleb, there was no Light Side or Dark Side to the Force. Instead, it was simply a natural force that enveloped everything around him. So, he abandoned his old life and fled to Ambria, hoping to avoid the final confrontations of the New Sith Wars. Eventually, Darth Bane sought him out, in the wake of the Battle of Ruusan, to enlist Caleb's assistance in eliminating the synox toxin with which Githany had poisoned him. Caleb explained that he was unable to do so by himself, and refused to treat him. Bane then threatened to kill Caleb's young daughter, forcingthe healer to drop his stoic demeanor and do his best to save Bane. Working in conjunction with Bane's connection to the Force, Caleb was able to drive the poison from his system. Without any thanks, Bane left Caleb on Ambria and set out to return to Ruuzan.

Years later, Bane returned to Ambria with his apprentice, the young girl named Zannah. Caleb felt their presence on the planet, but chose to ignore them entirely. He struggled to earn enough credits to have his daughter travel away from Ambria, where she changed her name and set out to live a new life, in case Bane should ever attempt to coerce Caleb again. About ten years after the Battle of Ruusan, Caleb was once again confronted by the presence of an injured Darth Bane, but this time he was accompanied by his apprentice and her cousin.

Bane had been badly injured while battling a group of Jedi on Tython, and the orbalisks that had covered his body were dying, releasing toxins into his system. Many orbalisks had died and fallen off, leaving behind raw flesh that had been ravaged by their feedings. Caleb once again refused to help, until Zannah's cousin, Darovit, intervened. Caleb managed to get Zannah to agree to a deal. In exchange for his help in healing Bane, Zannah would disable her starship, the Loranda, stranding herself and Bane on Ambria. She would then send a communication to Coruscant that would alert the Jedi Order to Bane's presence on Ambria, so that the Jedi could finally capture him and bring an end to the Sith. For her part, Zannah openly agreed to the deal, but had other plans that would eventually make her Master proud.

Caleb spent many days with Bane's injured body, slowly removing the surviving orbalisks and administering salves and medicines that repaired his skin and removed the toxins from his bloodstream. When it appeared that Bane would survive, Zannah set her own plans in motion. Her message to Coruscant was quite vague, and only referred to the Sith Lord who had killed a group of Jedi on Tython. She did not explain who the Sith was, so the Jedi knew only that they were searching for a being they believed was a killer. Zannah then used her lightsaber to kill Caleb, then cut his body into numerous pieces and spread them across his camp. She then drove Darovit mad by using Force illusions, before giving him the lightsaber of Valenthyne Farfalla, which she had recovered on Tython. Thus, when the Jedi arrived and found Caleb's body and Darovit holding the lightsaber of a dead Jedi Master, they believed that they had found the Sith Lord. They cut Darovit down and left Ambria behind, unaware that Zannah and Bane were hiding in Caleb's cellar. (DBPD, DBRT)

Caleisk
This was the word used to describe the monarchy of the Viska people. The position was held for life, and was inherited by birth. However, the older Viska didn't automatically inherit the throne.

Calibop
This humanoid race was characterized their bushy manes and strong wings, which were tipped with prehensile feathers. They had short tails that twitched when they were nervous or agitated. It was generally believed that the Calibops were all talk and no action, and preferred to discuss a potentially dangerous or hostile situation rather than actually doing something about it. (SOP, VOF)

Calif City
This was the capital city of the planet Dentaal. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, the city's population was decimated by the Empire, which introduced disease-ridden Candroidan hookworms into a shipment of cloth bound for the city's factories. Once the cloth was made into clothing, the hookworms infected the population with Candroidan Plague, and wiped the population out in a mere three weeks. (SWJ5, TBSB)

Calipp
This gas giant was the fifth and outermost planet of the Faarlsun System. It had twelve moons. (WBC)

Calipsa
This planet, located in Tapani Sector, was the capital world of House Calipsa. It was a plain, brown world from space, with little natural vegetation. However, Calipsa was rich in natural ores, and mining operations dominated its surface. This left the planet covered with air-borne pollution, contributing to its orbital appearance. (PGT, LOE)

Calipsa Run
This minor hyperspace route connected the provinces of Calipsa and Mecetti to the Procopian Shipping Lane. (LOE)

Calipsan
This was the term used to describe the human inhabitants of the planet Calipsa. Because a large portion of the planet's population worked in the mining industry, Calipsans were generally regarded as dirty and disgusting people. (KOR11)

Calius saj Leeloo
This city, found on the planet Berchest, was known as The City of Glowing Crystal. It was named for the way in which the city was carved from the incredibly beautiful crystal formations that grew from the millennia-oldcondensation of saline spray from the Leefari Sea. The reddish water was, over thousands of years, deposited in such quantity that it created the large crystal structures. Artisans and the population further sculpted and refined the crystals to make the city more beautiful. (TLC)

Cal-I-Vaun
This male Jedi was part of the security force that protected the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, some nine years before the Battle of Naboo. (TTB)

Calixte, Nyna
This severe woman served as the leader of the Imperial Intelligence Agency that supported the New Empire that formed in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, about 130 years after the Battle of Yavin. She was also a member of the Moff Council, although many other Moffs secretly believed that she was elevated to the rank of Moff through her relationship with Morlish Veed. During her early career, Calixte had a relationship with Rulf Yage, and their brief marriage resulted in the birth of a daughter, Gunn Yage.

When Darth Krayt rose to power and tried to forge an alliance with the New Empire, his agents were forced to deal directly with Calixte. Calixte kept word of their meetings a secret from Emperor Roan Fel, although she confided in Veed about the upcoming plans. At the Battle of Caamas, however, Calixte revealed her involvement with the Sith to Emperor Fel. He would have killed her on the spot, but she talked him out of it by stating that the execution of an unarmed officer was treasonous, as well as being something the Sith would do. Calixte then offered him the chance to determine his own fate, while allowing him to contact the Jedi on Ossus and negotiate a truce. When the Sith used the mission to Ossus to destroy the Jedi, Calixte realized that her allince with the Sith had become much more dangerous than she first realized.

In the wake of the Massacre at Ossus, Veed began to talk about assuming the role of Emperor, and taking control of the galaxy. Calixte knew that Emperor Fel would not allow this, nor would he stop fighting the Sith. In secret, she met with Emperor Fel once again, this time to warn him about an impending Sith attack on the Imperial leadership. Unlike Veed, Calixte had realized that Darth Krayt had no intentions of serving the New Empire, but wanted to control it for the Sith. She hoped that, by giving Fel a chance to escape, that Darth Krayt would have no choice but to keep herself and Veed alive, in order to keep the New Empire together.

The assassination attempt occurred as Calixte had warned, allowing the Sith to assume total control of the galaxy and forcing the Moff Council to submit to his leadership. Fel, however, had used a loyal double to meet with the other Moffs, and had escaped his own death. This allowed Calixte to confront Darth Maladi and argue for her own life and that of Veed, forcing the Sith Lord to accept their assistance in keeping the Moff Council in line. Although Maladi agreed that Calixte and Veed had their uses, she refused to let them alone. Maladi placed Calixte in charge of Intelligence for the Sith empire, and ordered her to locate Emperor Fel.

Seven years later, the search for Fel continued, and Maladi continued to monitor Calixte quite closely. She also added the search for Cade Skywalker to her list of demands, placing further strain on Calixte's resources. However, after discussing plans with Morlish Veed, she decided to activate Morrigan Corde to hunt Skywalker down before the agents of the Sith could find him. While their efforts failed to provide any leads, Calixte was able to learn of Cade's relationship with Deliah Blue and Jariah Syn from their employer, the Feeorin crimelord known as Rav. Calixte offered them clemency in exchange for information, which nearly led to his capture.

However, Skywalker was apprehended by the Sith, and was kept away from the Imperials. Although their initial plans failed, Veed refused to accept the fact that the Sith had beaten them. He and Calixte agreed to have Morrigan Corde infiltrate the Sith Temple to extract Skywalker and bring him to the Moffs. Corde's attempt to free Skywalker was successful, although she ultimately let him go free. In the brief period of inactivity that followed, it was learned that Nyna Calixte was actually Morrigan Corde. (SWI88, SWLB, SWLA, SWLT, SWLG, SWLC, SWLL)

This infamous Quarren slaver aided the Empire during its enslavement of the Talz people on Alzoc III. Later, Borun Call was the first being encountered by Slar-dan ti Gardi after the Twi'lek was released from a New Republic detention facility. Call taught the Twi'lek everything he knew about the slave trade, and rescued Gardi from capture by Tauran Nartal. The pair captured a pair of Wookiees shortly after the Valfin Labor Camps Insurgence, unaware that the Wookiees were actually representatives of the New Republic government. Nartal nearly caught them on Werncin 3, but he underestimated Borun Call's cunning. Call and Gardi continued to harass the Listehol Run, using Call's personal ship - the Vanquisher to capture ships and sell the passengers as slaves. (SWJ8, SWJ10, SWJ11)

Callandri
This woman, a native of Tilam City on the planet Pendal, was the leader and founder of the Granse Confederacy. A former "advisor" to a Kuat Drive yards executive, she was employed to assassinate any rivals to the executive's position, both within and outside KDY's corporate ranks. Rumor held that she simply walked away from her last mission, to join her cousin Zayl Braith in order to work as a freelance assassin. The KDY executive sent five bounty hunters to kill her, but she eliminated them all and sent them back to the executive in a series of small freight cubicles. They founded the Granse Confederacy, and earned a spot on the Alliance's most wanted list by striking at several installations and nearly wiping out a large number of Alliance and civilian personnel. For an unknown reason, Callandir had a deep-seated desire to kill Alton Lochner, and many within the Alliance theorized that the Granse Confederacy was formed to ensure his death. (AIR)

Callat, Follnor
This man was a native of Alsakan, and was trained as a xenoarchaeologist during the years of the New Order. He grew up as a Core Worlds snob, and remained disdainful of non-Core planets and races as he matured into an adult. Despite his chosen field of study, Callat deplored the "miserable conditions" of the remote locations he explored, no matter where his travels took him. Doctor Callat once held a professorial position with the University of Rudrig, but was expelled when he was linked to several criminal organizations. He was stripped of tenure at the University of Sanbra, and was dismissed from the Prime Campus of Shafr Center. Several warrants for his arrest led to many of these firings, based on his flagrant disregard for local laws and his penchant for raiding the digs of other archaeologists. He was also wanted by the Iotran Antiquities Enforcement agency in connection with several thefts of Iotran artifacts, and was connected to a number of other unsavory archaeological activities. After the Battle of Endor, he used his less-scrupulous contacts to put together a party to search out the Alsakan version of the Tessent. Among the team members was a Blood Carver and the Mandalorian warrior Fenn Shysa, all of whom set out with Doctor Callat from a base on Ast Kikorie. From Ast Kikorie, he had created a network of informants who gathered all rumors of the Tessent's location, which he used to begin his own search. (GMR9)

Callia's
This antiques shop was located aboard the luxury liner Cal Ambre, during the height of the New Order. It was owned and operated by Retter Lewis, and specialized in rare and unusual religious artifacts. The shop had two levels: one which catered to the casual window-shopper, and a restricted upper level for serious buyers. Prices weren't posted on any artifact, under the assumption that if a being had to ask the price, then they couldn't afford it anyway. (CRO, SWJ4)

Callin
This man served as an accountant, in the city of Mos Eisley on Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. (FTD)

Calline I
This ball of searing rock was the innermost planet of the Calline System. Orbiting close to the system's yellow-orange star, Calline I was believed to have a wealth of metal and mineral resources, but its harsh environment made it too dangerous to mine. (RESB)

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

Calline III
This gas giant was the third, and outermost, planet in the Calline System. The planet had no natural satellites, and its atmosphere lacked any profitable gases. (RESB)

Calliose
This Red Nikto was Skahtul's principle partner during the hunt for Luke Skywalker. He and a band of mercenaries from the Klatooinan Trade Guild agreed to join the Barabel in return for a portion of the bounty. He planned to have Skahtul and her Barabels conveniently eliminated during the struggle on Kothlis, and told his mercenaries to fire at Skahtul's men instead of Skywalker's forces. Skahtul found out and ambushed Calliose, capturing him and bringing him back to the Klatooinan Guild for a bounty on his own head. (SESB)

Callonia
A planet. (SWCP)

Callos
This forested planet was the site of an intense battle between Imperial forces and the rebels who opposed the Empire's presense on the planet Callos, during the height of the New Order. Although the main battle was a decisive Imperial victory, Juno Eclipse and the Black Eight Squadron were ordered to eliminate the primary power generator on the planet. Instead of simply cutting off the planet's power supply, the explosion of the generator caused massive destruction of the planet's ecosystem. Polluted containment waters and chemicals were released into the water table, and deadly gases were released into the atmosphere as the generator was destroyed. Within hours, a runaway chain reaction of environmental destruction swept across the planet, rendering Callos a wasteland. It was later learned that the destruction of Callos was meant to serve as an example of what would happen to other worlds that dared to defy the Empire. (TFUN)

Callosian Spring Vegetable Soup
This was one of the signature soups that were found on the menu at Dex's Diner, during the final years of the Old Republic. It used fresh vegetables that were imported from the planet Callos. (OWS)

Callow
This muscular man worked for Haka Hai as a lieutenant at the crimelord's base on Circarpous V, during the early years of the New Order. When Lumbra staged a coup and stole what was supposed to be a valuable crate from Haka Hai, Callow and the others fled the planet with Lumbra, hoping to earn a portion of the profits from selling the crate. When Gamy set off the explosives in the crate by trying to sneak a look at its contents, Lumbra and the others were forced to set down on a remote moon. Their ship was damaged, but they were able to locate another downed ship, and set out to scavenge any usable parts. They discovered that the crew of the other ship was actually made up of two Jedi Masters and a group of younglings who had fled the clone troopers who were carrying out Order 66. Lumbra decided to take the younglings captive and turn them in for the bounties on their heads, and when Mater Chase Piru tried to intervene, Callow shot her her in the upper chest. Lumbra left her for dead, and the criminals made their way back to their own ship to camp for the night. It was during the night that Jedi Masters K'Kruhk and Piru attacked the camp, with K'Kruhk firing arrows from a hidden location and Piru using the Force to direct them at the criminals. It was Callow who discovered Master Piru when she tried to free the younglings, and alerted Lumbra to her presence. When Lumbra tried to use Master Piru as a living shield, K'Kruhk went into a battle rage, killing Callow and the others with his lightsaber. (DT2)

Callron, Garret
This man served as the Imperial Moff in command of Clacis Sector, during the early years of the New Order. (AIR)

This former Imperial officer was one of the great number of Imperials who eventually defected to the Alliance. He joined the Alliance prior to the Battle of Hoth, spending several years under the watchful eye of Colonel Firest before serving as a trooper officer at Hoth's Echo Base. He was known to be extremely efficient in his use of resources, and was highly regarded for his ability to stretch the Alliance's meager supplies. It was Callum, who held the rank of Sergeant Major, who first recognized the AT-AT walkers that had been deployed against the Alliance's forces. He quickly explained the situation to the main base before preparing to begin its defense. Unfortunately, Callum was killed in the initial fighting. (CCG3, SWI74)

This woman served the Empire as a Physics professor at the Imperial Academy on Carida, and was the student advisor to Mako Spince while Spince attended the Imperial Academy. She was among the faculty members who later presided over Spince's expulsion trial, after he destroyed the Academy's mascot moon as a practical joke. (DESB, OWS)

Calna Muun
This large town was located on the planet Agamar, near Tondatha. Because of its size, and the fact that Calna Muun was the capital city of the planet, it was often referred to as the "Big City.". (XW, XWP, DTO)

Calocour Heights
This was one of many sections of the vast city which covered the planet Coruscant. It was located between the Imperial Palace and the Senate Rotunda during the last decades of the Old Republic. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Calocour Heights district was one of many city areas destroyed when the aliens captured Coruscant. As the planet was terraformed to resemble the long-lost planet of Yuuzhan'tar, the Calocour Heights area was razed to make way for the Square of Hierarchy. (EGP, CCW, UF)

Calonica

Calrissian, Lando
Lando Calrissian was a dark-skinned, human male from an undisclosed world, although he spent a portion of his early career on Corellia. Born during the later years of the Old Republic, Lando grew into a gambler and con-artiste, smoking cigars and learning how to play sabacc and win regularly. Never one to stay in any single place too long, Lando made more friends than enemies in his early years roaming the galaxy.

Ever the gambler, Lando considered himself the Commander of Staves, a sabacc card that often showed up in the fortunes told about him with the sabacc deck. When a perfect hand of sabacc won him ownership of the Millennium Falcon, Lando's life took a strange turn. He ran into Han Solo on Nar Shaddaa, rescuing the young man from Boba Fett. Lando was never much of a pilot, and allowed Han to teach him the basics. However, following the Battle of Nar Shaddaa, Lando's first solo flight went off-course, bringing him to the Oseon System. A few games of sabacc later, Lando had won the strange droid Vuffi Raa, and was launched into a series of adventures.

As was par for the course, Lando made a few more enemies during this time, the greatest of which was the Tund Sorcerer Rokur Gepta. Gepta pursued Lando across the galaxy after Lando loosed the Mindharp of the Sharu from its hiding place; Gepta wanted the artifact for himself. After getting stuck in one of the Oseon's Flamewinds, Gepta nearly killed Lando in an elaborate plot. By this time, Lando was beginning to feel his own mortality, and when he and Vuffi Raa encountered the Oswaft, he sympathized for them enough to try and run the Imperial blockade of their home and bring them food. Gepta again nearly killed Lando at the ThonBoka, but Lando was able to overcome the Sorcerer and eliminate him.

After this, Lando began honing his business skills, and he used the Millennium Falcon to start a small transport operation. It was during this time that a young smuggler named Han Solo beat him at sabacc. Lando had offered up Han's pick of the starships in Lando's personal fleet, hoping that Han would pick one of the shiny new ships over the battered Falcon. Han's nose for starships led him to choose the old freighter, and Lando was left to his newer, less friendly ships.

Using his nose for business, Lando learned of the tibanna gas mines near Bespin, and set out to see them for himself. He ended up winning Cloud City in a sabacc match, and his growing business acumen allowed him to turn the mining outpost into a profitable operation. However, when Boba Fett later traced the Millennium Falcon back to Cloud City, Lando's string of hard-luck business ventures began. Darth Vader garrisoned Cloud City in order to capture Luke Skywalker, and Lando was forced to evacuate the outpost. After seeing Han Solo frozen in carbonite and Cloud City overrun by stormtroopers, Lando signed up with the Alliance, and became one of the Alliance's best generals, leading a number of missions to success, including the bombing run on the second Death Star orbitting over the forest moon of Endor. Following the destruction of that Death Star and the fall of the Empire, Lando was promoted to the Commander of the New Republic's Special Operations force, and he led the secondary force that was dispatched to combat Lord Shadowspawn at the Battle of Mindor.. Although he found that the same memory skills that helped him with sabacc also helped with remembering military tactics on both sides of the battlefield, Lando found that he had no desire to continue with military life. He resigned his command and returned to Cloud City, but was unable to make the operation profitable.

Using a set of plans and ideas he borrowed from Cloud City's founder, Ecclessis Figg, Lando started The Nomad City mining operation on Nkllon. In another stroke of bad luck, Grand Admiral Thrawn first stole most of his mole miners, then disabled the mobile city in a strafing run. Lando was forced to abandon the mining operation before Nkllon's intense primary star fried it to ashes. After assisting the New Republic in the defeat of Thrawn, Lando tried his best to win the heart of Mara Jade. He succeeded only in gaining her as a business partner, as the two joined their collective resources to try and re-establish the spice mines of Kessel as a legal operation. This failed, as the galaxy no longer felt the need to indulge in artificial pleasures.

Down on his luck, Lando set up camp on the planet Coruscant, and began working on Dometown, an underground city that was not too affluent but could cater to the upper-middle class. He only needed financial support, and devised a plan where he would marry a rich woman who could support his monetary needs while turning a profit with him. Lando courted several woman, but found himself drawn to Tendra Risant. He was temporarily thwarted in this endeavor by the secession of the Corellian Sector from the New Republic, as his prospective bride was a native of Sacorria. However, after the resolution of the Corellian Crisis, Lando and Tendra began to discover that their relationship transcended the galactic politics. Eventually, they were married, and they used their combined business acumen - and a good deal of luck - to amass a small fortune in a variety of business endeavors.

Shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, they formed Tendrando Arms. They planned to provide the YVH 1 combat droids to the New Republic in order to help combat the Yuuzhan Vong, but Lando was reactivated to his rank of General when the alien invaders attacked Coruscant itself. As the war ground on, Lando and Tendra spent an increasingly larger portion of their time with the Smugglers' Alliance, working on the fringes to assist the New Republic's war efforts. Their relationship with the likes of Booster Terrik and Talon Karrde came to fruition just after the Battle of Ebaq, in time to assist the Galactic Alliance in its mission to retake Coruscant from the alien invaders.

When the Yuuzhan Vong finally surrendered to the Galactic Alliance at Coruscant some five years after their invasion began, Lando and Tendra decided to pursue more legitimate goals. The galaxy needed to be rebuilt, and there were too many honest ways to make a living. Tendrando Arms continued to be a profitable enterprise, although the relative peace that fell over the galaxy forced the corporation to restructure its product line.

When the tensions between the Galactic Alliance and the Corellian government reached a head, some forty years after the Battle of Yavin, Lando agreed to help his old friend Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, investigate the situatio on Corellia. Lando adopted the alias of Bescat Offdurmin, the pilot of the Love Commander, and transported them to Corellia. The group assisted Wedge Antilles in escaping an assassination attempt, then fled Corellia for the Errant Venture, hoping that the spacer traffic through the huge vessel would turn up some leads. Lando barely escaped an encounter with Alema Rar, and decided to return home to his wife.

After Jacen Solo launched his attack on Kashyyyk, Lando traveled to the Wookiee homeworld to lend his assistance and bring some exciting news to Han and Leia Solo. Lando told them that Tendra was pregnant with the couple's first child, and both Han and Leia were quick to bolster Lando's confidence by telling him that he would make a wonderful father. He agreed to turn the Love Commander over to Han and Leia, who planned to use it to sneak a small task force aboard the Anakin Solo and steal navigational information and other data about Jacen's movements. Around the time Jacen Solo was killed, Tendra gave birth to a son, whom they named Lando. Lando and Tendra spent a good deal of time with their son, a bright young boy who considered by Han and Leia Solo to be all but a clone of his father. The family made their home on Lujo, although Lando and Tendra owned properties on seven other planets, including the spice mines of the planet Kessel. When Kessel began experiencing strange earthquakes that were not attributed to the gravitational effects of The Maw, Lando, Tendra, and Nien Nunb called in scientists to investigate, but nothing could be found as the cause. Fearing that the Kessel spice mines were doomed, Lando asked Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo to investigate, hoping that Han's experiences in the mines and Leia's connection to the Force might uncover something that the scientists could not.

Lando was surprised and concerned when Han and Leia returned from their investigation and revealed that an ancient self-destruction system had been activated deep within the planet's core. Their investigation shed light on the possibility that Kessel had once been part of a larger planet that had suffered from some cataclysm, leaving only the planetoid and its Garrison Moon. Hidden within the core was a collection of caverns that housed strange machinery that was monitored by the bogeys found in the caves, and Leia was able to use the Force to learn that the machinery had reached the end of its function. The groundquakes that were felt on Kessel were actually tests of the self-destruct system, and followed the explosion of some small part of the machinery. Han and Leia discovered that Kessel had little more than a week before it was destroyed, but Lando refused to evacuate. Instead, he fought for the planet, and gratefully accepted Han's idea of randomly destroying the machinery themselves, preventing the system from setting it all off at once.

Calrissian, Lando
This young boy was the son of Lando Calrissian and his wife, Tendra Risant Calrissian. Born forty years after the Battle of Yavin, young Lando was a bright boy who virtually a duplicate of his father. He liked to wear clothes that were smaller versions of his father's ornate outfits. Lando often referred to his son as Chance, claiming that the boy was his lucky star. (MF)

Calrissian, Tendra Risant
The primary candidate in Lando Calrissian's search for a rich wife, Tendra was a minor functionary on Saccoria. She was moderately wealthy, but had a number of friends and relatives in high places within the Corellian Sector. She had fair skin, high cheekbones, and brownish-blond hair. When Lando first met her, she wass in her mid-thirties, and he was immediately taken with her. Their relationship continued to grow, and they eventually became business partners. Tendra managed to pursuade her family to help finance their underwater mining facility on Varn.

It was also during this time that Lando and Tendra discovered that their relationship was greater than the forces at work in the galaxy, and they eventually got married. Their combined business sense led them to become involved in a wide variety of enterprises, until theiy eventually formed Tendrando Arms, shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy began. As the war ground on, Lando and Tendra spent an increasingly larger portion of their time with the Smugglers' Alliance, working on the fringes to assist the New Republic's war efforts. Their relationship with the likes of Booster Terrik and Talon Karrde caem to fruition just after the Battle of Ebaq, in time to assist the Galactic Alliance in its mission to retake Coruscant from the alien invaders.

When the Yuuzhan Vong finally surrendered to the Galactic Alliance at Coruscant some five years after their invasion began, Tendra and Lando decied to pursue more legitimate goals. The galaxy needed to be rebuilt, and there were too many honest ways to make a living. In the years that followed, Tendra and Lando experienced that highs and lows of personal and corporate life, but their relationship continued to deepen. About three years after the end of the Swarm War, Tendra discovered that she was pregnant, an event that she and Lando were quite excited about. She eventually gave birth to a son, whom they named Lando. (AC, VOF, BP, SBS, UF, LF7, MF)

Calrissian-Nunb Mines
This was the name given to the legitimate spice mining operations that Lando Calrissian, Tendra Risant Calrissian, and Nien Nunb established on the planet Kessel, during the height of the New Republic. The mines continued under joint ownership for decades, as the Calrissians and Nien Nunb discovered more humane and effective ways to extract glitterstim and ryll spice from the planet's rocky crust. Knowing that Kessel was a doomed world and would eventually be drawn into The Maw, as well as knowing that the supplies of spice would eventually run dry, Lando and Nien Nunb began testing alternate ways to mine spice. They tried exporting energy spiders to other worlds, but each attempt ended in failure. When they began experiencing powerful earthquakes that seemed to have nothing to do with the gravitation forces the planet nomrally experienced, Lando called in Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo and asked for their help in saving the mines. (FJ1)

Calsedra
This was the name given to those Viska clans which were not named lurinn by the caleisk. These clans had no power until they were chosen by a future caleisk. (PG1)

Calsk
This was the name used to describe the leader of a Viska lurinn. (PG1)

Calson
This rookie X-Wing pilot was being trained by Ranna Gorjaye when he brought his starfighter too close to Ranna's during a routine patrol. The formation they were flying in was tight already, and Calson's wing clipped Ranna's, and they both were forced to crashland in The Wilds. Calson blamed the crash on Ranna's orders, and refused to accept her command. He set out by himself, and was killed by a wild corvaj. (DARK)

Caltinia
Lando Calrissian barely escaped an adventure on this planet, some time before he joined the Alliance. (LTA6, MC83)

Caltrop
This was a generic term used to describe a form of defensive implement formed from a central sphere of metal, to which were affixed a minimum of four metal spikes. The minimum of four spikes ensured that, when thrown, the caltrop always presented an upright spike. When a large number of caltrops was thrown or deployed across a room's floor or entranceway, they provided a screen which a pursuer had to avoid, or else have the metal spikes driven into their feet. Especially devious individuals coated the spikes of their caltrops with sedatives or poisons, in an effort to ensure their escape. (SBS, GMR8)

Caltrop 5
This chaff gun was produced by Arakyd during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It fired a spray of sensor-distorting durasteel particles into the air, which created clouds on nearby sensors. When fired at aircraft, the durasteel particles also acted as shrapnel, perforating hulls and flesh with deadly results. (SHPT)

Calus
Primary planet in the Calus System. The system was connected to the Wroona System via Keller's Void. (PSPG, SWJ3)

Caluula
This planet was located in the Tion Hegemony, and was distinguished by the unusual environmental phenomenon known as the Nocturne of the Winged-Stars. Located in orbit around the planet was a space station that was known to most independent spacers for its huge stockpile of replacement parts from Lianna. The planet and the orbiting station became targets of Yuuzhan Vong attacks, as the alien invaders planned to subjugate the population and use them for sacrifices in the final consecration of Coruscant as the new Yuuzhan'tar. Despite the efforts of Base Commander Garray and Pash Cracken, Caluula Station was destroyed and the planet was overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong. The natives of both the station and the planet were transported to Coruscant for sacrifice, although many were "rescued" by the Shamed Ones who believed they were following the words of the Prophet, Yu'shaa. After taking the planet, the Yuuzhan Vong installed a yammosk there. This gave the Yuuzhan Vong a base of operations from which to launch raids on New Republic outposts in the sector. However, as the planet's defenses fell, the planetary Governor of Caluula made contact with the aliens to surrender. As part of the deal, though, she requested that scientists still be allowed access to the planet, which was about to experience another Nocturne of the Winged-Stars. The Yuuzhan Vong commander, looking for a swift end to the hostilities, agreed to the deal. However, as soon as the battle for Caluula became a rout, the natives of the planet began stashing weapons and supplies in the mountains, hoping to retrieve them later in an effort to eliminate the alien invaders. All of this military activity overshadowed a larger, environmental issue, which surfaced when the winged-stars emerged from their 300-year incubation but failed to mate. At the same time, Yuuzhan Vong bio-constructs began dying rapidly, much to the dismay of the Shapers stationed on the planet. Then the Shapers and warriors died as well, leaving the planet devoid of Yuuzhan Vong. It was later revealed that the Bothan Intelligence agent, Wraw, had been added to Team Meloque to verify the efficacy of a new strain of the Alpha Red virus unleashed on the planet. (UF)

Caluula City
This city, the planetary capital of the planet Caluula, was bordered on three sides by rugged mountains. As soon as the Yuuzhan Vong accepted the surrender of Caluula's planetary governor, they placed Caluula City under martial law until a yammosk could be installed in the heart of the city. Afterward, the local civilians were allowed to move about without surge coral implants, primarily because the Yuuzhan Vong wanted to use the local populace as a way to keep the New Republic from trying to kill the yammosk with an orbital bombardment. (UF)

Caluula Orbital
see Caluula Station (UF)

Caluula Station
This was the name of the space station which was built in orbit around the planet Caluula. Despite its allegiance to the New Republic military, the station had a reputation of having just the part a spacer needed to repair their ship, thanks to a huge stockpile of replacement parts obtained from the planet Lianna. It was also a haven for scientists who traveled to the Tion Hegemony to study Caluula's unusual environmental phenomena. During the months following Operation Trinity, Caluula Station took a pounding from Yuuzhan Vong forces, and the destruction of many HoloNet relay stations meant that the New Republic was unaware of the attack. After the rescue mission to Selvaris was interrupted by the first appearance of the Yuuzhan Vong Slayers, Han Solo managed to escape Selvaris and flee to Caluula Station aboard the Millennium Falcon. Shortly afterward, the Yuuzhan Vong employed a yncha to attack Caluula Station. Base Commander Garray found himself powerless to defend the station. Faced with the imminent destruction of Caluula Station, Garray issued the evacuation orders, hoping to get as many people as possible to the planet's surface. Despite the efforts of Garray's forces, Caluula Station was ultimately destroyed. The survivors fled to Caluula, where they could regroup to defend the planet from invasion. (UF)

Cam Bubble
This was a generic term used to describe the small, enclosed camera systems that were developed for use in guarding buildings and other installations. Created in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong War, cam bubbles were produced in various sizes, from large units that made it obvious a being was being watched, to small units that could be hidden in the joints and crevices on a building's exterior surface. Cam bubbles were developed to be more aesthetically pleasing that simple surveillance cameras, because their spherical shapes were easier to blend into a building's architecture. (FJ3)

Camalon, Rathe
This young baron of Tapani Sector's House Cadriaan was the son of a Freeworlds native who bought his way into the nobility. Rathe hated the fact that his father's common birth excluded him from many of the gathering of the nonle Houses, but held no animosity toward his father. Instead, Rathe directed his anger at those "soft" individuals who simply inherited their power, instead of working for ti. (LOE)

Camas, Iri
Distinguished by his long, white hair, this Jedi Master was the first of his order to command the headquarters of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. He was known for his unceasing desire to obtain "more cost per credit" out of the clone troopers that were produced on Kamino, which was borne out in the kill-ratio numbers released by the Old Republic. Under his early direction, each clone trooper accounted - on average - for the destruction of 200 battle droids. He took this desire one step further with the training of clone commandos, developing a group of special operations agents that could strike at the manufacturing and raw-material production facilities of the Separatists. In this way, a few thousand commandos eliminated billions of droids, many before they even reached the battlefield. He was eventually given the position of Director of Special Forces for the GAR, working from the Special Operations Brigade on Coruscant. (SWI84, RCTZ, RC66)

Camax
This man served the Alliance as a Lieutenant in the military, and was part of the scouting team that scoured the galaxy in search of a new base location, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. Camax's team was tracked to a remote jungle planet, where they were ambushed by Imperial forces.

Cambriel, Seth
This man was known to be a wealthy entrepreneur who made millions of credits playing the stock markets, buying up companies which were about to be nationalized by the Empire, then selling out at huge profits later on. He then retired to Spira to watch the Galactic Civil War play out while sipping cocktails on the beach. He was something of a beach bum, albeit a rich one, and spent a lot of time in the casinos and bars of the Aspre Plunge. His lifestyle, however, was actually a cover, for Seth Cambriel was also a spy for the Alliance. The time spent in bars was often in the company of drunken Imperials, who were more than willing to have a few drinks with him. (SWJ1)

Cambrielle
This was the capital city of the planet Ralltiir. (HNN4)

Cambrielle Exploration Auditorium
This museum, located in the city of Cambrielle, on the planet Ralltiir, was dedicated to the preservation of artifacts and documentation about the exploration of the known galaxy. During the last decades of the Old Republic, the Auditorium was second only to the Jedi Archives on Coruscant as a source of knowledge. The entire first floor was given over to exhibits which showcased the history and glamour of space exploration, with new exhibits being set up every few months. (HNN4, WOTC)

Cambrielle SolidState
This corporation was headquartered on Ralltiir, and produced a wide range of power cells for use by the Empire. (FOP)

Camby Berries
This was the term used to describe the berries that were harvested by the Ewoks from the cambylictus tree. During the annual Festival of Love, Ewoks exchanged camby berries as a symbol of the kinship and love that was shared between tribes. The taste of a camby berry was quite tart, and many non-Ewoks found that they tasted better when covered with chocolate. It was believed that non-Ewoks who consumed camby berries fodun that they could move with more speed and agility, although no formal studies were ever performing to verify these claims. (SWGAL)

Cambylictus
This massive tree was native to the swamps of Endor's forest moon and the planet Naboo. The Gungan people learned to crush the cambylictus' leaves and bark into a paste, which had a variety of medicinal uses. The bark of the tree was often used as a bandage which promoted quick healing. The effects of the bark were especially powerful to members of the Abyssin race, as it amplified their natural regenerative abilities. The berries of this tree, known as camby berries, were exchanged by the Ewoks during their Festival of Love celebration, as a symbol of the kinship and love that was shared between tribes. (GF, E1A9, MJH, SWGAL)

Cam'Co, Jer'Jo
This famous Chiss was one of the founding syndics of the planet Csilla, and was responsible for the formation of the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet. He proposed the CEDF after a series of exploration expeditions revealed a wealth of vital resources on planets found in the Unknown Regions. Because of his vision and foresight, Jer'Jo Cam'Co became something of a hero among the Chiss. No fewer than seven starships bore his name, and two star systems were named for him. (FH2)

Camden
This was the primary planet in the Camden System, located in the Outer Rim Territories. (CRO)

Camie
One of Luke's friends at Anchorhead on Tatooine, this young woman was dating the Fixer when Biggs Darklighter returned to say goodbye, when he set out to defect from Imperial service and join the Rebellion. Her family managed an underground hydroponic garden on Tatooine, and bought most of their water from Owen Lars' farm. Thus, she became friends with Luke, as well as Beru Lars.

After Luke and Biggs left Tatooine, Camie was among the handful of people who refused to believe that Luke had killed Owen and Beru Lars. Eventually, Camie married the Fixer. (E4, E4R, GG1, DS, MC31)

Cammy
This was the more popular name of the Trang Robotics Holocam-E cam droid. (NEGD)

Camo Scout Armor
Developed and produced by Creshaldyne Industries, this speciallized armor was created to protect an individual while making them difficult to see. Woven into the fabric of the armor was circuitry that worked with tiny photoreceptive fibers built into the outer plating, absorbing ambient light and changing color to match the wearer's surroundings. (WOTC)

Camocowl
Originally developed by the Nociv of the planet Kadril, a camocowl allowed the wearer to breathe without inhaling deadly or toxic gases. Because they were produced on Kadril, and were regularly scrubbed using the natural stone found on the planet, camocowls became saturated with small particles of kunda stones, making them an efficient filter against pacifog. (LAT3)

Camoperator
This was the term used to describe any being who worked in the news and journalism field, managing the various camera droids and hand-held recording devices that were used by reporters. (FJ3)

Camos

Camp Aurek
This was one of the primary Separatist bases on the planet Jabiim, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. It was captured by the Army of the Republic, but at the loss of the Republic's own Shelter Base. (SWI69, RBJ)

Camp Four
This was one of the many prisoner camps set up by the Trade Federation, when they launched their invasion of the planet Naboo. Camp Four had some of the highest levels of security on the planet, and it was here that Queen Amidala was to be sent, after she surrendered to the Federation. She and her advisors were rescued by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi before the Federation's battle droids could escort them to the camp. (CHRN2)

Camp Pa'aal Squadron
This was the name use by Sil Sorannan to describe the 513 Imperial prisoners who were incarcerated by the Yevetha on Pa'aal. Together, using a coordinated attack, they were able to gain control of several Imperial warships recommissioned by the Yevetha. The ships were retaken by Sorannan's crews, and the squadron fled back to Byss and the Deep Core. (TT)

Camp Ship
This form of Yuuzhan Vong starship was essentially a collection of hexagonal containment chambers, glued together to form kilometers-long transport ships. Roughly spherical in shape, camp ships were originally used to transport large groups of small cargoes across small distances. After the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy some twenty-five years after the Battle of Endor, they began using the transports to move slaves across the galaxy. The individual chambers were of all sizes, and each was capable of accommodating a wide range of gravities and environments. The name "camp ship" derived from the New Republic captives who were transported in these ships. The chambers were large enough to accommodate families and clans, allowing them to exist in mobile, Yuuzhan Vong refugee camps. These ships were extremely useful during the reformation of Coruscant, when hundreds of millions of beings had to be moved off-planet in order to being its Vongforming. (T)

Campaign Against Republic Militarization
Founded by Senator Padme' Amidala, this political organization sought to find a peaceful solution to the growing separatist movement in the Old Republic, shortly before the Clone Wars. Amidala and the Campaign's members opposed Chancellor Palpatine's call for the formation of a grand army to combat secession, and held a series of peace rallies on various planets in order to gain support. (HNN4)

Camper, Shad
This was the alias adopted by Zayne Carrick when he landed on the planet Serroco with Marn Hierogryph and Slyssk, during the height of the Mandalorian Wars. The group had tried to commandeer the Little Bivoli, only to find themselves flying into the battlezone with the Old Republic fleet. Since Zayne and Marn were wanted criminals, Zayne figured that an alias was in order. He chose the name from two sources: tha Arkanian offshoot known as The Camper, and the former Jedi Padawan Shad Jelavan. Zayne first used this alias when he was introduced to Carth Onasi, who introduced Zayne to Admiral Saul Karath. Zayne used the alias later, when he tried to travel to Coruscant to present evidence of his innocence to the Jedi Council, after he learned that Carth Onasi was leading the squadron of fighters that were sent to intercept him. Although Onasi refused to let Zayne and the Moomo Williwaw reach Coruscant, he did allow Zayne to use a smaller craft to evade the main blockade and reach the planet. (KOR4, KOR9)

Camper Special
This was the term coined by Zayne Carrick to describe any cargo crate that was modified by the Arkanian offshoot known as The Camper, for use in smuggling beings across the galaxy. They were virtually impossible to open, from both the outside and the inside, preventing unauthorized access or escape. (KOR2)

Camper, The
This elderly Arkanian man made his home in the Lower City of Taris, during the years following the Great Sith War. For reasons known only to The Camper, he lost much of his sanity and wandered the lower levels of Taris with a pushcart that was filled with bits and pieces of technology. He came to be known to Jarael and a few other inhabitants of the Lower City as Perero, since he served as something of a father figure to the dishomed of the Lower City.

Few believed that The Camper was his true name, although it fit because he had no permanent home, and simply camped out wherever he found a place to sleep. To most beings, The Camper appeared to be an addle-minded old man, with snow-white hair and rheumy eyes, who mumbled incoherent thoughts to himself and scoured the undercity for parts. Only Jarael knew that he had been running from Adascorp when he ended up on Taris. Despite his poor situation, The Camper retained some of his mental abilities, and was known as an expert in the refitting of escape pods. His services were often in demand by criminals and other beings who wanted to escape from Taris. He had a way of rebuilding escape pods to look like shipping containers, allowed those beings to be "shipped" off-planet so that they could later escape.

He later escaped Taris with Jarael, Marn Hierogryph, and Zayne Carrick, after the young Jedi Padawan was accused of the murders that had actually been committed by his Master, Lucien Draay. It was The Camper who restored the memory banks of T1-LB, giving Zayne a brief glimpse of the events that led to the deaths of his fellow students.

Their flight from Taris forced them to the planet Vanquo, where they were beset by Mandalorian shock troopers. In the midst of the fighting, Jarael was kidnapped when the Mandalorians thought she was a Jedi Knight. The rest of the group was rescued by Rohlan Dyre, who risked the fire of his fellow Mandalorians to retrieve them. Angry that Jarael had been taken captive, the Camper lashed out at Rohlan, allowing Zayne and Hierogryph to capture the Mandalorian and lock him up. The Camper then established a link with the homing beacon on Jarael's bracelet, and followed her signal into Mandalorian space.

After being reunited with Jarael, the group fled to Ralltiir. There, Jarael bid goodbye to Zayne, hoping to find a quiet place to settled down. This was not to be, for they were confronted by the assassin droid HK-24, which threatened to kill The Campler until T1-LB and Rohlan Dyre destroyed it. However, the attack left The Camper perilously close to death, and only Rohlan's medical training kept him alive long enough for Jarael risk returning to Arkania in order to get him proper treatment.

When The Camper finally regained consciousness, he was dismayed to learn that the Last Resort was being overtaken by the Arkanian Legacy. He was even more dismayed when Jarael contacted him from the massive vessel, to explain that she had accepted Lord Arkoh Adasca's medical assistance to help The Camper recover from his illness. Aboard the massive ship, Jarael learned from Lord Adasca that The Camper had once been a gifted student, one of the handful of Offshoots who had been trained at Arkanian universities before diseases began to spread through the Offshoot population. The Camper was later hired as an employee of Adascorp, but had left a project unfinished after been labeled as an Offshoot by corporate leaders.

According to Lord Adasca, The Camper had contracted Balinquar's Virus while working in the labs, and it slowly made him more and more unstable. In reality, The Camper suffered from a simple allergen he had picked up on Taris, but had grown stronger during his stay inside the Last Resort. Eejee Vamm and the doctors aboard the Arkanian Legacy quickly cured The Camper, then forced him to complete the work he had started years ago. Lord Adasca then revealed to Jarael that The Camper was actually the noted scientist Gorman Vandrayk, who had discovered how to control exogorths. With the prject nearing its final stage, Lord Adasca kept Jarael captive in order to gain The Camper's promised to complete it. The Camper oversaw the preliminary work for the Harvest-Nine test, then slipped away to contact Jarael. He explained that he had learned of Adascorp's use of specialized diseases to limit the number of Arkanian Offshoots, and refused to let the corporation do any more harm to their people.

When Zayne sent a transmission that indicated Jarael was free, The Camper put his plans into motion. He took control of the exogorths and ordered them to attack the Arkanian Legacy, before drawing them all behind the Last Resort and luring them into the depths of the galaxy. He hoped that he could take them to a place where they might starve to death, thereby eliminating them as a threat to the galaxy. The Camper told Zayne and Rohlan Dyre to take of Jarael, and bid them all goodbye. (KOR1, KOR2, KOR4, KOR5, KOR6)

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

This Galacian was the King of the Tallah dynasty several years before the Battle of Naboo. He ruled for thirty years before passing away some twenty years before that battle, leaving the rulership of the planet Gala to his wife, Veda. Prior to their marriage, which was arranged by their parents, Cana fell in love with a woman from the hill clans. The Council of Ministry forbid their union, but Cana married her anyway. Before the Council could break the marriage up, Cana's wife became pregnant. The secrecy of the pregnancy was maintained by Cana and Veda after their own marriage. During his rule, several of the more wealthy families began corrupting the government, taking control for themselves while distancing themselves from the poorer masses. Cana was unable to stop it before his death. (MOC)

Cancell
see Can-cell (VD3)

Can-cell
This large, winged insect was native to the planet Kashyyyk. When on the ground, the cancell walked on six spindly legs. In the air, it used four long wings to propel itself, while its long, segmented tail provided stability. The average can-cell measured some three meters in length, and was an insectivore. The Wookiees of Kashyyyk considered the appearance of a can-cell to be a good omen, and often kep them as pets. The Wookiees also realized that can-cells could be used as mounts, but they were too big to ride the insects themselves. Instead, the handful of Aleena who lived and worked on Kashyyyk became the primary riders of can-cells. During the height of the Clone Wars, Aleena were hired as reconnaissance scouts, flying over enemy encampments to gather intelligence. Over time, can-cells were exported to other worlds, such as Rodia Teth, where they were raised and trained as mounts. (OWS, VD3, SWDB, SWI84, CWVG, CWTV08)

Candaserri
This Old Republic Acclamator-class troopship was the flagship of the task force, led by the Jedi Master Glynn-Beti, which was dispatched to capture Count Dooku on Raxus Prime, just after the Battle of Geonosis. (BF2)

Canderous Assault Tank
This repulsorlift-equipped assault tank was developed during the height of the New Order, and was considered the most powerful tank that non-military personnel could acquire. The Canderous Assault Tank was protected by heavy armor plating, and was armed with a pair of huge blaster cannons that could punch through most vehicle shielding systems. In addtion to its firepower, the Canderous Assault Tank was equipped with specialized sensor and jamming systems, allowing the operate to confuse enemy weapons and redirect their targetting ssytems. (LAWS)

Canderous-class Assault Tank
This MandalMotors was one of the heaviest and most expensive assualt vehicles produced in the galaxy, during the era of the New Order. Named in honor of Canderous Ordo, the Canderous-class assault tank was armed with a pair of forward-mounted heavy laser cannons and a concussion missile launcher. This weaponry, combined with armor plating that rivaled an AT-AT walker and incredible maneuverability for its size, this vehicle was designed to serve as a front-line assault platform. The tank could enter a battlefield and draw enemy fire away from lesser attack vehicles. Using its weaponry to harass enemy forces on the ground, the three-being crew of a Canderous-class assault tank could then employ jamming equipment to disrupt enemy targeting systems. The only drawback to this vehicle's performance was its minimal flight ceiling, which left it vulnerable to aerial attacks. (WOTC)

Candle, Amier
This man served as a department chairman at the Imperial University's School of Public Policy, during the height of the New Order. (SWJ7)

Candle of Pure Light
One of the Ancient Tokens of the Legendary Ewok hereos, the Candle was a small wax candle which had a flame that never went out. It was a symbol bestowed upon the youngest member of an expedition, to remind them of the goal which they strive to achieve. It was presented to Cindel Townai by Logray, when the Ewoks agreed to rescue her parents from the giant Gorax. Cindel discovered that it could be used to summon Queen Izrina, of the Wisties, in times of need. (EA, SWDB)

Candleberry
The fruit of this tree was often picked and dried for later consumption, as it offered a variety of nutrients as well as a sweet flavor. (YDR)

Candorian Plague
An especially virulent plague that was cultivated by the Empire for use against rebellious worlds. It was thought to have originated in the Bandorian Colonies, which were utterly wiped out by the plague. It was contained and believed eradicated until the Empire used in on Dentaal. Note that this disease is also referred to as the Candroidan Plague or the Candroian Plague in several books. (DS, SWJ5)

Candra City
One of four major starport locations, this city was located on the eastern edge of Kirima's western continent. (TSK)

Candroian Plague
see Candorian Plague. (SWJ5)

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

Candroidan Plague
A virulent strain of plague carried by the Candroidan hookworm. Note that this is another spelling of the Candorian Plague. (TBSB, SWJ5)

Canduri
This woman was one of the many Believers who tried to take control of various parts of the Cularin System, during the era of the Clone Wars. Although she was devoted to the Believers, Canduri was not Force-sensitive. This did not stop her from believing that she had some connection to the Force, a delusion that made her a dangerous ally for the Believers. However, when she was captured in Ipsus by a group of freelance agents who were working for Nirama, Canduri did not give her life to the Believers' cause. She did, however, refuse to talk, even when a canister of the Believers' Caarite-killing virus was found in her possession. Thus, the freelance agents transported her to the nearest Office of Public Safety and turned her over to the Cularin authorities for questioning. (MCT2)

Cane Tree

Can'gal
This Mandalorian word translated into Basic as "starfighter." (OWS)

Canid
This species of porcine creature was native to the planet Corellia. Although not considered dangerous, canids often traveled in large packs. Their skittish nature meant that they often stampeded when frightened, and a fast-moving pack of canids could trample a human to death. (ROD)

Caniphant
This four-legged species of dog-like animal was characterized by their high shoulders and large, tapered snouts. They were easily trained, and make excellent guard animals. (GCQ)

Cannibal
This was the name of Barosa Warren's personal starship. This freighter measured twenty-four meters in length, and could carry up to forty-five metric tons of cargo and eight passengers. It required a pilot and co-pilot to operate - positions that were usually filled Warren himself and Stren Grier - as well as three gunners to man the weapons. It was armed with a turret-monuted twin blaster cannon, and ion cannon, and a turret-mounted tractor beam projector.

The Cannibal was formed from hull components of the Kuat Systems Engineering Firespray-31 and the Ckratar Crafts Venturer-class freighter, although parts from more than thirty different manufacturers were used in its construction. Most, if not all, of the parts used in the construction of the Cannibal were provided to Warren by a former GOSS student. This student had incredible starship design and repair skills, but lacked the credits to pay for a full education. Warren took the parts, as well as the student's abilities, as payment. (AIR, OWS)

Cannibal Arachnid
A deadly creature once native to the planet Duro, the cannibal arachnid died out as the planet became polluted. (DA, EGP)

Cannibal Dewback
This subspecies of dewback was native to the planet Tatooine, where it was known to feed on newly-hatched dewback infants. This trait earned the subspecies its name. Cannibal dewbacks were known for their aggressive nature, and many settlers killed them on sight in order to forestall an attack. However, because the coloration of the cannibal dewback was similar to that of its smaller cousin, the lesser dewback, many of the harmless lesser dewbacks were mistakenly killed. (NEGA)

Cannibal Plant
A carnivorous plant native to the planet F'tral, the cannibal plant had a rudimentary system of mobility. They can slowly approach another plant and feed on them. Commonly, the cannibal plant resides near a fisherplant or other hunting plan, and sinks its roots down to twine and fuse to the hunter's root. The cannibal plant can then suck nutrients from the other plant. (GG4)

Cannij Barr

They were cornered on a cliff by a huge kilassin, and had to be rescued by Lady VenHalgon and the freelance crew of the rescue ship Starchaser IV. (REPL)

Cannison, Lady
This woman was the wife of Minister Cannison, a Tetan noble and friend of Lord Sargo VenHalgon. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Mrs. Cannison accompanied her husband on a safari trip to the Cularin system. When Lord VenHalgon's party became lost in the jungles of Cularin, Lady VenHalgon and the other wives set out on a rescue mission. It was well-known that the women were better hunters than the men, although they were glad to have assistance from the freelance crew of the rescue vessel Starchaser IV to help the locate their husbands. (REPL)

Cannok
This vicious predator was once native to Dxun, although a handful of specimens was transported to Telos by the Ithorians of Citadel Station, during the years following the Great Sith War. (KOTOR2, LAWS)

Cannolite

Cannom
This was the name of the traditional, collared robe that was worn by the Quermian race. The collar of the cannom dropped over the shoulders and came to a point over the Quermian's chest, pointing to both the heart and the lower brain. (CVD)

Cannon
see Starbomber, Vsin (SWGAL)

Cannon Fodder
This was one of the many terms used to describe the clone commandos of the Grand Army of the Republic. Of course, the term was never used in the presence of a commando. The term was eventually picked up by the droid armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and was often used in attempts to demoralize clone trooper units on the battlefield. (RCTZ, CWN)

Cannoncar
This was the common term used to describe a model of repulsor-equipped vehicles that were used by police and law enforcement agencies, during the years following the Swarm War. These vehicles were named for the single laser cannon that was mounted on a top-side turret, which allowed a gunner to fire on a vehicle or other moving target located anywhere near the vehicle. (LF9)

Canons of Honor
This was the name given to the set of ethics and ideals maintained by the ancient Mandalorian Crusaders. The Canons were put in place to ensure that warriors helped other warriors to achieve personal glory through combat and loyalty. It was generally believed that the original Canons were deeply religious in nature, but over time they became more focused on the aspects of combat and killing. (SWI80)

Canron
This jellied foodstuff was often smuggled around the Outer Rim, due to its high price. (SWJ10)

Cant, Devin
This man served the Empire as a trooper aboard the first Death Star, during the months leading up the Battle of Yavin. Trooper Cant was among the many the many soldiers who were assigned to the detention levels of the Death Star, and was on duty when Han Solo and Luke Skywalker arrived at detention block AA-23, disguised as stormtroopers tranferring Chewbacca to the cell block. In the ensuing firefight, Cant was quickly shot and killed. (CCG)

Can't
This was a slang term used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe a tank. It was a misspelling of the word tank. Note that this definition assumes that the Basic language looks similar to the English language. (GG9)

Canteval
This Muun served as a Captain in the military forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Captain Canteval led the task force that was sent to the planet Taloraan to secure the planet's Tibanna gas mines. He worked with Rynert to secretly move battle droids into Taloraan City, until their actions were discovered by Ahsoka Tano, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Anakin Skywalker. Although Rynert had orders from Count Dooku to kill the Jedi, Magister Orlin Denache demanded that the Jedi be captured alive, to use as a bargaining chip with the Separatist leader. Canteval cared little for the politics involved, and kept his warship hidden the planet's clouds until a full attack could be launched. While Rynert's security teams gained control of Taloraan City, Canteval laid in wait for the Republic's reinforcements, believing that he could surprise the Republic's forces, However, Skywalker and Kenobi managed to get a warning message out to the crew of the Resolute, and Canteval's surprise attack was spoiled. Instead of a resounding victory, Canteval had to watch in horror as the Resolute pounded his own frigate. He was eventually forced to abandon the ship when it suffered damage to its main power generators, and the vessel plunged into the planet's core. (CWWRT)

Cantham House
This was the name of Bail Organa's residence in Imperial City, while he lived on Coruscant during the final years of the Old Republic and the early years of the New Order. The idea of a cohesive rebellion against the New Order was formulated there, during what would later be known as the Cantham Talks. Note that this is known as Chatham House in the X-Wing computer game. (RASB)

Cantham Talks
This was the term used by historians to describe the initial discussion between Mon Mothma and Bail Organa, during which they talked about the formation of a rebellion against the Empire. The name Cantham Talks stemmed from the fact that the discussion took place at Organa's Cantham House residence. (NEGC)

Canthar
This Epicanthix warrior-chief was credited with uniting the myriad of Epicanthix clans into a single entity, as well as dispatching those clans who refused to join him. Canthar was also credited with taking the Epicanthix culture away from a purely barbaric society and cultivating cultural and technological advancement. (SESB)

Canti System

CANTINA
This dive was located on the Air Avab floating city of the planet Genarius, during the decade leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (WOTC)

Cantina Hangover
One of the many obstacles used on swoopchasing courses, the Cantina Hangover was deceptively simple in its design. The obstacle was formed from a long tube, inside which a mock cantina was created. Racers find themselves speeding through a maze of tables, chairs, bars, and simulated patrons. The Hangover part comes when the riders first enter the tube, which then begins to rotate around its central axis. The entire cantina begins to spin, and riders must continually alter their course to ensure that they get through the spnning maze of props. (BSS)

Cantina Row
This was the name given to the tavern-lined thoroughfare located in the city of Hedrett, on the planet Cularin. (LFCW)

Cantor, Aeona
This pretty, red-haired woman worked with Nick Rostu and a team of freelance agents who hunted down renegade Imperial forces, during the months following the Battle of Endor. Although they started out as fellow freedom fighters, Aeona and Nick soon realized that they shared a deeper bond. An older woman who had grown up during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, Cantor and her team separated when Nick was captured by Lord Cronal. While pursuing the Emperor's Hand, Cantor's crew were marooned on Mindor, and decided to join the local rebels in order to combat the growing Imperial presence on the planet. She was placed in charge of the scouting missions dispatched to the various turbolaser emplacements that had been constructed by Lord Shadowspawn and his Imperial troops, and were on duty when the Imperial communications jamming system was suddenly shut down. Fearing some sort of ambush or trap, Cantor ordered her team to pack up and make ready to flee if necessary. During a subsequent mission, Aeona and her team found Luke Skywalker's astromech droid, R2-D2, hiding near a small cave. When Boakie tried to apprehend the little droid, he was shocked into unconsciousness. Although Tripp wanted to take the droid and use it for parts, Aeona hoped to wait and see who the droid's owner turned out to be. Her interest was only increased when R2-D2 displayed a hologram of Skywalker using his lightsaber, which led her to believe that the droid's owner might be a Jedi.

The search for the droid's owner led Aeona and her team to the resting place of the Millennium Falcon and Han Solo, who had traveled to Mindor in search of Skywalker. Before they could engage in anything more than small talk, a group of Imperial TIE Fighters located them and began firing on their location. Solo, with help from Chewbacca and Leia Organa, managed to avoid the first wave of Imperials, and returned to the surface to rescue Aeona and her team. Although she was glad for the pick-up, Aeona used her sarcastic wit to keep Solo on his toes. After learning that he was Han Solo, Aeona managed to trade her KYD-21 blaster - from which she had secretly removed the power cell - for Han's DL-44, then turned on Solo and tried to take control of the ship. When she tried to shoot Solo, Aeona was surprised to learn that Solo had also removed his power cell, but she and her rebels still managed to steal the Millennium Falcon in the sudden chaos that followed. However, there was no one who could pilot the ship well enough to avoid the battle in orbit around Mindor, and the Millennium Falcon was forced to crashland near Lord Shadowspawn's fortress. Aeona and her team were surprised when the ship didn't explode upon impact, and they were even more surprised when they learned that it had been Luke Skywalker who used the Force to cushion their landing. Unaware that he was a Jedi, her crew tried to use the ship's weapons to shoot down Skywalker and his companion, Nick Rostu. Aeona was surprised and relieved to see Nick, and planted a big kiss on his lips. She tried to talk her way past Skywalker, but was forced to explain how she came to control the Millennium Falcon.

Luke then took the ship, with Nick and others still onboard, and plunged deep into Mindor's crust, flying through caves and tunnels in search of Han and Leia. The Force guided his actions, until they were forced to stop at a dead end. When C-3PO explained that communications teams had located Han and Leia some fifteen meters above Luke's position, it was Aeona who explained how to use the antipersonnel field generator to liquify the meltmassif stone. This allowed Luke to gently move the ship upward through the stone, until they reached the area where Han and Leia might be. Aeona was forced to explain to Solo that she had stolen the ship in order to rescue Nick, begging forgiveness instead of asking permission. Solo relented, and they agreed to work together to locate Leia. After Lord Cronal separated the Shadow Base from Mindor and tried to escape, Aeona and Nick were able to locate Cronal's secret shuttle and make their own escape, thereby preventing Cronal from leaving the base without confronting Luke Skywalker. In the wake of the fighting, they returned to the Taspan System, to search for survivors, and were surprised to find Skywalker and Kar Vastor hidden inside an asteroid. They rescued them, and then Aeona and Nick set out to continue their search for Dark Siders in the galaxy. Vastor agreed to join them, hoping to avenge the suffering he experienced at the hands of Lord Cronal. (LSSM)

Cantras Gola
The PowerOn Conglomeration, headquartered on this planet, threatened to secede from the Pentastar Alignment and join the New Republic. The children of the planet's chief ambassador were kidnapped by the Karazak Slavers Guild, on orders from the Alignement, in an effort to persuade Cantras Gola to remain with the Alignment. The children were rescued by the Red Moons, and helped break the Alignment's hold on the planet. (TFE)

Cantros System
This system supposedly experienced a rash of Imperial activity following the Battle of Endor, despite the fact that Emperor Palpatine was dead. The feline being Minka traveled to Saijo to report on it, and barely escaped with her life. Further investigation of the system revealed that a renegade group of Alliance supporters was the cause, fueled by false information provided by Durne. (MC93)

Cantrosh
This was a survival-class, gaseous substance that was developed to spread quickly and kill any indigenous life in the user's immediate area. The gas was highly poisonous to most lifeforms, and required the user to wear an environment suit to protect themselves. (GMR10)

Cantrosh-oxide Matrix
This was a way to contain pure cantrosh gas in an oxide's crystalline structure. When ignited, the oxide vaporized, leaving the cantrosh gas to flood the immediate area. (GMR10)

The victor of the battle was obviously on the correct side, since Canu helped him win. (SME)

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

Canyon Corsairs
This band of pirates operated from a base on the planet Lok, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. In general, the Canyon Corsairs kept to themselves, modifying the various vehicles to make them faster and more exciting to pilot. However, they were not above stealing items and selling them as a way to generate the credits needed to buy new parts. (SWG2P, SWGAL)

Canyon Dune Turn
This was another name for the Tusken Turn, which was found on the planet Tatooine. (RAC)

Canyon Kid
This was a term used on the moon Nar Shaddaa to describe any orphan who lived among the slums and alleyways between the buildings of the Vertical City. (MF)

Canyon Mining Facility
This was the ore and mineral extraction operation established by Guldus Bemm and his pirates, after they discovered the planet Canyon while attempting to provide aid to a damaged Victory-class Star Dstroyer. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Administrator Guldus Bemm tried to capture Luke Skywalker by claiming that the miners discovered a strange, crystalline mineral in the mines, and called for Luke Skywalker to come and see them, as they appeared suitable for use in lightsabers. Skywalker didn't go personally, but the group of New Republic agents who did were captured by Bemm's pirates. They eventually managed to escape. (SWJ8)

Canyon of Despair
This ravine runs through the Endless Wastes of the planet Kintan, and was carved by the Fire River. The exact path followed by the Fire River changed every local month or so, as the flowing lava was affected by the natural tidal pull of Kintan's moons. The volcanoes of the Burning Moon Range line the canyon, so that the lava they belch forth flows into the canyon to form the Fire River. The Fire River then flows for some forty kilometers before emptying into the Basin of Torturous Flame. As the lava river flows through the canyon, some of the lava "evaporates," forming crystals of hyper-ferrofeldspar that were continually ground up during seismic activity. These ground crystals then form a kind of sand that lines the Canyon of Despair with what was basically crushed transparisteel. This sand was then picked up in Kintan's vicious storms, creating sandstorms that scoured flesh from bone with transparisteel shards. (GORW)

Canyon Orphan
This was another name for a canyon kid. (MF)

Canyon, The
This area of space, located near the planet Lok, was controlled by the Canyon Corsairs during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Canyonade
This was a vast series of hotels, shops, restaurants, and meeting areas carved into the canyons of the planet Cejansij.

(SOP)

Canyons of Mist
Located on Endor, these were steep-walled canyons worn into the rock by the passage of the Whispering River. (AT)

Cape Regret
This remote spit of land was located on the planet Lamaredd, and was named for the fact that the reefs surrounding it caused many vessels to shipwreck while trying to reach land. (GMR7)

Cape, The
This was the codename for the Imperial project that was started to produce a working cloaking device. The project was mildly successful, producing the plans for a device that was "double-blind," effectively hiding the vessel from outside scanners and sensors, but also rendering the cloaked vessel unable to use its own scanners and sensors. In other words, the cloaked ship could operate unseen by other vessels, but it could not tell what was going on around it. (ISB)

Capellan Turg-rot
This was a species of plant was native to the planet Entralla, where is was grown and harvested for its thick roots. (SWJ4, OWS)

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

Capital ship
Any of the huge, deep-space combat craft. Star Destroyers and Mon Cal Star Cruisers fall into this category. (SWSB)

Capo
This Rodian was a member of the Peace Brigade, and was part of the group which infiltrated the Queen of Empire in order to recover the Yuuzhan Vong priestess Elan. He and Darda posed as the contacts Major Showolter was to meet aboard the ship, in the effort to safely transport Elan to the Core. Their leaders had obtained classified information from a spy within the New Republic, which allowed them to gain Showolter's confidence. However, the backstories they were given were flawed, and when Darda claimed to have been working on Gamoor, Showolter saw through their facade. In a firefight, Darda was shot and killed, but Capo managed to escape. He also killed the two agents Showolter was supposed to meet before seriously wounding Showolter himself. Many months later, Capo returned to Ylesia and assumed command of the Peace Brigade's meager navy. He attained the rank of Admiral, although it was more decoration than actually meritted, and was commanded by Thrackan Sal-Solo to bring the fleet up to Yuuzhan Vong standards. (HT, Y)

Capo

This flying insect was native to the planet Naboo. It was distingiushed by its scaly skin, and moved about in large swarms. (GQRG)

Cappie
This was the nickname of the astromech droid R2-B3, which was assigned to Jaina Solo's X-Wing when she took command of the Twin Suns Squadron, some months after the Battle of Coruscant. Cappie was a gray-white color, with burgundy-colored markings. Cappie remained as Jaina's astromech when she took command of an XJ3 version of the starfighter, during the latter stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. (EL1, FH1)

Capping the T
This was a starship combat tactic in which two or more capital ships attacked an enemy force at a perpendicular angle. In this way, the lead attacker could target an enemy vessel and fire upon it, while absorbing most of the enemy's firepower. The trailing ships simply hid behind the lead ship, waiting until it peeled away before firing on the enemy. In this way, the trailing ships were able to fire on an already damaged vessel, which had also depleted some portion of its firepower capabilities. This allowed the trailing vessels to finish off the enemy while the lead ship retreated to recharge and repair. (RASB)

Capra, Carns
This hot-headed young man joined the Alliance just after the Battle of Yavin, shortly after his father was killed in a rally on Mantooine. He wanted to get some measure of revenge against the Empire. (GMK)

Caprioril
The planet Caprioril was the sight of a swoop race tragedy, in which an assassin droid that was sent to kill then-governor Amel Bakli decided that it could meet its objectives by wiping out the entire swoop arena. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Caprioril agreed to join the New Republic, but was overrun by Imperial forces. Mara Jade once posed as a come-up flector for a swoop gang on this planet, and it was here that she had a battle with Lumiya. (DFR, SWSB, DESB, OWS, EGF)

Capris Technologies
This small manufacturer produced a line of power recharging systems, during the height of the New Order. (GFT)

Capstan, Anni
This pilot was Jaina Solo's wingman in Rogue Squadron, during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Anni was a native of Corellia. As Rogue Twelve, Anni participated the Battle of Garqi. Unfortunately, Anni was killed shortly afterward, during the opening phase of the Battle of Ithor. Jaina quickly sent Anni's mother a notice of her death over Ithor, and Anni's mother responded quickly, inviting Jaina to Corellia. (DTO, DTR)

Capstone
This was the final piece of a Sith Holocron, used to trap the cognitive matrix inside the crystalline structure and allow the holocron's creator to complete the final stages of construction without worrying about the matrix degrading and collapsing before the holocron was finished. It was unclear if the Jedi Holocrons also required a capstone, since the Sith used the Rite of Commencement to trap the cognitive matrix inside the capstone. (DBRT)

Captain Amazing
This was a comical nickname used by Lune Oddo Divinian to describe Trever Flume, during their brief time spent as recruits at the Imperial Naval Academy on Coruscant, during the early years of the New Order. Lune used the nickname after Trever, who was pretending to be a recruit named Fortin, boasted about his abilties as a starfighter gunner. (LJ8)

Captain Bloodstripes
This was Booster Terrik's nickname for Han Solo, used during the era of the Corellia-GA War. (LF4)

Captain Integrity
This was a nickname used by Denetrus to describe Andra, and derived from her struggle to do good. (DOR)

Captain of the Guard
This was the title given to the leader of the Senate Guards, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (WOTC)

Captain Sensible
This was a sarcastic nickname used by Jagged Fel to describe Ben Skywalker, after the young man was forced to grow up and become an adult in the wake of the murder of Ben's mother, Mara Jade Skywalker. Ben had been learning about criminal investigation from Captain Lon Shevu of the Galactic Alliance Guard, who had given Ben several new techniques and methodologies for completing a project or an investigation. (LF8)

Captainlandocalrissiansir
This was the more familiar name used by Feytihennasraof to address Lando Calrissian. (LCS)

Captainmasterlando
This was the more familiar name used by Senwannus'gourkahipaff to address Lando Calrissian. (LCS)

Captainmasterlandocalrissian
This was the name used by Senwannus'gourkahipaff to address Lando Calrissian. Its length and the number of honorifics used indicated that Sen considered Lando to be a peer. (LCS)

Captainmasterlandocalrissiansir
This was the name used by the Oswaft known as Feytihennasraof to address Lando Calrissian. Its length and the number of honorifics used indicated that Fey considered Lando to be a peer. (LCS)

Captain's Accredited License
This Imperial document was one of a number of documents required from any spacer who plied the spacelanes during the New Order. The procedures for obtaining the certification were documented in the Spacer's Information Manual. Known as a CAL, this document provided information on the starship captain's ability to operate a starship across interstellar distances. (SWJ9)

Captain's Ladder
A Corellian CR90 corvette that was part of the Invid pirate fleet that attacked the Tinta Palette, the Captain's Ladder was a false IFF transponder code used by the Backstab. (IJ)

Captain's Pride
This Ugor Black Hole-class salvage dreadnaught was commanded by ArrGack. It was dispatched to recover any salvage following the Imperial assault on Dankayo, and battled the Thrifty for salvage rights. (SH)

Captane, Daniil
This man was the portmaster of Taanab's primary spaceport, located in Pandath, when Lando Calrissian forced the Norulac pirates to flee the planet and leave the farmers along. (SWJ5)

CapTech Stealthpak
This was Capris Technologies' portable, blaster power pack recharging kit. (GFT)

Captisan, Dol
This noted Bakuran Senator was the father of Gaeriel and Ylanda Captisan. Dol and wife, Marga, were killed shortly after the Empire nationalized Bakura, when they were caught in the middle of a firefight between Imperial troops and the Bakuran resistance. Gaeriel learned years later, from her sister Ylanda, that Marga and Dol had been active members of the resistance. (TBSB)

Captisan, Marga
This woman was married to Dol Captisan, and was the mother of Gaeriel and Ylanda Captisan. Dol and Marga were killed shortly after the Empire nationalized Bakura, when they were caught in the middle of a firefight between Imperial troops and the Bakuran resistance. Gaeriel learned years later, from her sister Ylanda, that Marga and Dol had been active members of the resistance. (TBSB)

Captisan, Ylanda
This was Gaeriel Captisan's younger sister. Gaeriel always called her "Landy." Where Gaeriel was offered a full scholarship to the Bakuran Senatorial Academy, Ylanda was destined to live her life out as a Home Mother at one of Bakura's Simple Homes. Gaeriel and Ylanda accepted this as the will of the Cosmic Balance: Gaeriel's success would be balanced by Ylanda's mediocrity. While at the Simple Home, Ylanda spent many years with minimal food, and became gaunt and withdrawn. After the Empire was ousted from control of the planet, Ylanda revealed to Gaeriel that their parents had been members of the original Bakuran resistance, and were killed trying to free their homeworld from Imperial control. (TBSB, NEGC)

Captison, Dol
This man served the Old Republic and his homeworld of Bakura as a Senator, during the years following the Clone Wars. After Emperor Palpatine assumed control of the galaxy and instituted the New Order, Dol and his wife found that they could not sit back and let the Empire take control of Bakura. While his daughter, Gaeriel, was attending the Bakuran Senatorial Academy, Dol and his wife began assisting the local rebel cells in staging protests against the Imperial occupation of Bakura. It was during one of these protests that the Imperials decided to open fire on the protestors, in an effort to break them up. Dol and his wife were killed in the crossfire. (SWDB)

Captison, Gaeriel
A former Imperial Senator from the planet Bakura, Gaeriel was the daughter of Dol Captison and the niece of Yeorg Captison. Her most striking feature was her eyes: one was grey and the other was green. Gaeriel dedicated her education to politics, and was accepted to the Bakuran Seantorial Academy as a teenager. Her parents were killed in the crossfire of an Imperial engagement with an Alliance team, and she vowed to become an Imperial loyalist. This, coupled with her religious concerns about the nature of the Force, made her the perfect senator on the Imperial world of Bakura. When the Ssi-ruuk invaded her homeworld, Gaeriel finally met several high-ranking members of the Alliance, including Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker, when they answered Bakura's distress call. Luke slowly opened her eyes to the atrocities of the Empire, and thought his actions she discovered that the Force was not inherently evil. It was Luke who helped Eppie Belden overcome her forced catatonia. It was during this time that gaerieal realized that she and Luke shared a common bond, although they remained nothing more than good friends. Following the defeat of the Ssi-ruuk and the surrender of Imperial forces on Bakura, Gaeriel continued to work in politics, and was eventually named Prime Minister. It was during this time that her political ambitions kept her in contact with the former Imperial soldier Pter Thanas. A romantic attachment grew, and they were married 8 years after the Ssi-ruuk invasion. Together, they gave brith to a single dauhgter, Malinza, before Pter succumbed to Knowt's disease. His death followed a failed re-election bid for Gaeriel. When the New Republic asked for Bakuran aid in defending the Corellian System during the Starbuster Plot, Gaeriel was made the plenipotentiary and placed in charge of the Bakuran fleet, commanded by Hortel Ossilege. She was mortally wounded when her spine was crushed in the decisive battle near Centerpoint Station, and the flagship Intruder was rammed by three robot ramships. It was Gaeriel who pushed the detonation button on the Intruder, igniting the ship in the midst of the Saccorian fleet, just as Admiral Ackbar arrived to help. (TB, AS, SC, SWDB)

Captison, Tiree
Yeorg's wife, and Gaeriel's aunt (TB)

Captison, Yeorg
This man, a native of the planet Bakura, served as the Bakuran Prime Minister at the height of the New Order, and was Gaeriel's uncle. As a child, his parents had chosen him to carry the Bowl, while his brother, Dol, was given the Feather. Yoerg renounced his religion in anger, and struggled out his own life. While attending the university in Salis D'aar, he met Tiree. The two fell in love and were married, and Yeorg won a seat on the Bakuran senate shortly afterward. He served on the senate for thirty years before assuming the position of Prime Minister. When the Empire nationalized Bakura, Yeorg found himself supporting the Alliance. (TB, TBSB)

Captivator
This was the name of the small, backup ship purchased by the bounty hunter Bossk, in the unlikely event he ever lost the services of the Hound's Tooth. (NEGC)

Captivity
An Imperial prison facility, Captivity was a hostile moon whose violent weather and magnetic storms quell even the harshest spirits. The moon was perpetually covered with thick clouds, and the moon's surface was a mixture of towering peaks and jagged rock formations. It was located in the Grehollo System. (RC)

Captor, Card
This was the alias used by the Sullustan who served as the Alliance primary cell leader on Bespin's Cloud City, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Card Captor held the rank of Captain, but his true identity was never revealed. (GMR3)

Capture Beast
This bio-engineered creature was used by the Yuuzhan Vong to round up prisoners and captives in such a way that they were relatively unharmed, allowing them to become slaves at a future time. The capture beast resembled a 200-meter-long, segmented caterpillar, and it moved about on one hundred pairs of sucker-tipped legs. The sucker tips were used to grasp their quarry and herd them into a specific location, where the capture beast then used its mouth to grab its own tail, creating a living perimeter that was nearly impossible to escape. If a being did try to climb up and over the capture beast's four-meter-tall body, they were simply grabbed by a leg sucker and deposited back on the ground. (NJOSB, UA)

Capture Cable
This device was used by bounty hunters and law enforcement agencies. Sometimes called a smart cable, the flexible cord with a weighted end was shot from a launcher. The weight shoots past its target and returns, and the kinetic motion causes it to wrap the extended cable around the target. (CCG7)

Capture Droid
Similar in most respects to seekers, capture droids were small, repulsor-equipped automata which were dispatched to take down fugitives and outlaws. They had powerful stun rifles built into their carapace, and heavy lifting claws to grip and carry a downed target back to its base. Capture droids tracked their quarry by scent, heat, and sight, and could operate in day or night. (E1A8)

Capture Net
see Electrostun Net (LF3)

Capture Permit
This certificate was sometimes required, in addition to an Imperial Peace-Keeping Certificate, to legally capture an individual wanted in a bounty posting. (GG9)

Capucot, Tybert
This Imperial Navy Captain was in command of the Assessor when it intercepted Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon. (RD)

Capza
This planet, located within the Velcar Free Commerce Zone, was a lush, tropical world. It was the home of the Commerce Master Commissioner Gregor Raquoran. (SWJ3)

Carababba
The leaves of this plant were harvested and dried to create a kind of tobacco. (DFR)

Carababba Tabac
This was the name used for the dried leaves of the carababba plant, which were rolled and sealed for smoking. (DFR)

Caraboose
A large creature native to Toola, the caraboose was a food source for the Whiphid race. It was favored slightly over the motmot in that it was easier to bring down, but a single caraboose provides much less that a motmot. The average caraboose stands about 2 meters at the shoulder, and was armed with a set of antlers that it can use to slash an attacker. (GG4, SWJ10)

Carahide
This was the name of the green, chitinous surface of the Verpine body. It was composed of a thin layer of protein that deflects most slashing or stabbing attacks, and can even deflect low-powered blaster bolts. (GG4)

Caramaxoian
This crisp leaves of this lettuce-like plant were used in salads. (GFT)

Caramm V
This planet was ravaged during the Clone Wars, although not from any battle between the Grand Army of the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Rather, the planet was attacked by its own ruler, Ado Eemon, who usurped HMP droid gunships from the factories on the planet to bomb the holdings of his rivals. His jealous desire to eliminate all potential threats to his position led him to destroy large portions of Caramm V's beautiful landscape, reducing much of the planet to blasted wastes. (X3)

Caranak
This was a species of water bird that was native to the Forest Moon of Endor. The caranak was noted for its obstinate refusal to be domesticated. (FJ2)

Caranna
This lavender-skinned, female Twi'lek inhabited the criminal underworld of the Cularin System during the height of the Clone Wars. In public places, Caranna seemed to be a very talkative woman, and many considered her prattle to be quite annoying. She was chosen by Tendin Vought - a.k.a., Razor - to assist him on his mission to hunt down Nirama. Underneath her babbling exterior, Caranna was considered one of the galaxy's best bounty hunters, which was the main reason that Razor decided to work with her. While Vought negotiated with their droid employers for a new starship, additional melee weapons, and a protective suit of armor, Caranna pretended to simply hold his hands and pat them with her own. He was unprepared for Caranna's treachery, though, when she poisoned him with a mild toxin during the negotiations with their employers. She left Vought's inert form behind, and set out on the mission alone. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Caranna found herself hunted by a silver-armored opponent. She was barely able to keep ahead of her pursuer, who chased her all over Cularin before cornering her on a rooftop in Gadrin. It was then that her pursuer revealed himself to be Tendin Vought, who had tracked her down to exact a measure of revenge. Caranna, however, had no thoughts of dying, and managed to land a stunning blow to Vought's forehead before escaping again. (LFCW)

Carannia
This was the capital city of the planet Serenno. Carannia was noted for its vast, open-air markets. All manner of goods and services from across the galaxy could be found in the markets, which became a hub of interstellar commerce over the centuries. (DBRT)

Carantar, Ray
This small-time smuggler made his home on the planet Marotan. Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, he agreed to help an Alliance team infiltrate the planet Sevarcos and rescue Carter Escalon from the Imperial prison on Sevarcos. He allowed the Alliance agents to act as his servants and crew during the Festival of the High Winds, helping him compete in the wind-rider race. However, Carantar made it clear that he had no sympathy for the Alliance, and made the offer just to make a few extra credits. A large, bald man with several tattooes across his hairless skull, Carantar spent a great deal of credits trying to get invited to the Festival of the High Winds. (SWJ12)

Carapace-creature
One of the vacuum-breathing lifeforms found in the ThonBoka, the carapace creature provided a food-source for the Oswaft. (LCS)

Carapod
This organic extension of the planet Zonama Sekot resembled a huge insect. They had flat, segmented bodies, and each segment had three legs. A seventh leg extended from the front of the main segment. A pair of chitinous horns surrounded the seventh leg, and were used for lifting heavy loads. Their bodies were a mottled collection of red, black and green patches, and some of the larger carapods were given mechanical implants to help them do more heavy labor. The Ferroans who worked to create Sekotan starships used the carapods as beasts of burden, employing them to transport the growing seed-partners, their masters, organic and high-tech materials to the forging and annealing pits. The carapods were mildly intelligent, and could react to simple commands from their riders. Their hides were formed from a variety of metallic elements, and glittering strangely in the light. (RP, FH3)

Caravan
This was the name of the corporation established by Lorian Nod, to cover the illegitimate actions he planned against the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights. The corporation was named after the starship Lorian had once hoped to build, during his time as a student at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant more than sixty years before the onset of the Clone Wars. (LOJ)

Caravan
This was the name of a star cruiser design developed by Lorian Nod, during his education at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, some 68 years before the Clone Wars. He built the original as a model, but told his friends that one day he would travel the galaxy in the fully-built ship. (LOJ)

Caravel
This was the name of Mungo Baobab's personal freighter. This ship was briefly stolen by Governor Koong, after Mungo was captured in the Cloak of the Sith. (DCAR, WOTC, SWDB, GORW)

Carba Asteroid Belt
This debris field was located in the Bacrana System, between the planets Bacrana and Tomik. Its proximity to Bacrana made it the perfect staging point for rebel activity during the Galactic Civil War, but the Empire patrolled it regularly in order to minimize the threat. (FBS)

Carbanti United Electronics
Manufacturers of shipboard sensor systems, Carbanti was one of the few major galactic corporations that survived without major diversification. Their only foray into another line of business came during the Galactic Civil War, when they reverse-engineered their own products to create anti-detection and evasion packages, such as electromagnetic countermeasures. They took advantage of the general fear of the Empire and sold these new systems to the huge market made up of smugglers, mercenaries, and the Alliance. (DFR, SCRE, EGW, NEGW)

Carbinol
One of the ancient Senex Houses. (COJ)

Carbinol, Verus
This incompetent man was promoted to be the Imperial Governor of the planet Garnib, during the height of the New Order. He hated water, he hated ice, and he hated the cheerfulness of the Balinaka. However, he overcame these things in order to reap the benefits realized from the taxation of the sale of Garnib Crystals. (GMS, PG1)

Carbocaloric Eliminator
This bioengineered chemical compound was used to reduce the amount of carbohydrate that was actually processed by a living being, allowing better utilization of foodstuffs while preventing storage of excess calories as fat. (SWG2P)

Carboceramic
This incredbily dense, durable form of carbon-laced ceramic was used in the creation of energy-collecting windmill blade, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (E3N)

Carbon Flush
This phrase was used as a vulgar expression, denoting an individual's extreme displeasure with a situation. (EOV, GMR8)

Carbon Freeze Gun
This unusual weapon was developed during the early years of the New Republic, when it became popular among crimelords to freeze their enemies in carbonite. The carbon freeze gun was essentially a spray tube that would cover a target with liquid carbonite. The carbonite would freeze shortly after hitting the atmosphere, encasing the target in a thin layer of solid material. (MOTS)

Carbon Glass
This tough, resilient material was used to create transparent partitions. (TA)

Carbon Rope
An especially strong rope used in climbing. (DOD)

Carbon Score Wastes
This remote, desolate region of the planet Socorro was located in the Killee Wasteland. (SWLG)

Carbon Scoring
This was the by-product of blaster bolts which strike metal surfaces on starfighters and other devices. In firefights, carbon scoring builds up on metals and interferes with internal systems. (E4, GMH)

Carbon-flush
This was a vehement expletive used to describe another being who was considered beneath contempt. (RC66)

Carbon-freezing Chamber
This specialized chamber was developed to preserve Tibanna gas for transport by freezing it inside a matrix of carbonite. The Cloud City mining colony used a carbon-freezing chamber to process the gas that it exported across the galaxy. The Tibanna gas was first pumped into the chamber, and then mixed with molten carbonite. This mixture was then frozen, which traps the gas inside the block of carbonite until it was released in a reversal process.

The process had been used on living beings, as a form of torture or retribution, for many millennia. Darth Vader was going to use Calrissian's chamber to freeze Luke Skywalker for transport to the Emperor on Coruscant, and had Han Solo test-frozen first. If properly frozen, a living being goes into a state of hibernation until the carbonite was melted. This hibernation affected the frozen individual's brain chemistry, altering or severing neural connections within the brain. Long-term hibernation was considered all but fatal, although there were examples of Kiffar individuals surviving in hibernation for several decades. (E5, E6, LF8)

Carbon-Ice Drive
This technology was developed by the Adarians. It was also known as the comet computer, since the system's primary components were made from supercooled, carbon-laced ice taken from comets. The Adarians use the frozen crystals of water and carbon to create the hardware and wiring used in their computer systems. The components were kept in super-cold conditions, and subtle changes in temperature were used to program the system. The Adarians have adapted their carbon-ice systems to monitor their starship systems, which were capable of hyperspace travel. The system had certain limitations, the largest of which was its size. Carbon-ice computer and hyperdrive systems can easily measure 200 meters across. Despite their limitations, carbon-ice systems were extremely powerful. (GG12)

Carbonite
A strong metal alloy used to preserve tibanna gas and other valuable materials, carbonite was a densly-interlaced matrix of carbon and tibanna atoms. Experimentation during the centuries prior to the formation of the Old Republic revealed that carbonite could also preserve a living body, maintaining it a state of hibernation until the carbonite could be removed. This "freezing" of an individual in carbonite allowed space travelers to cross interstellar distances before the discovery of the hyperdrive.

The use of carbonite to freeze a being was not without its perils, however. The encased being often experienced hibernation sickness when extracted, although a being left for too long usually died from malnutrition. Note that Zorba The Hutt's Revenge indicates that carbonite was made from Tibanna gas at Bespin, although Dark Lords of the Sith indicates that carbonite was the chief export of the Empress Teta System. Zorba the Hutt's Revenge also lists carbonite as a source of fuel. (E5, DLS, JS, COTF, ZHR, MBS, LF8)

Carbonite Constriction Net
A capture device that was shot from a specialized launcher. The net consists of a mesh of carbonite fibers attached to a number of carbonite spikes. When the net was shot at a target, the spikes deploy and spread the netting. The netting binds the target as the spikes continue at high speeds to impact a wall or other solid object behind the target. The spikes imbed themselves in the wall, drawing the net closer around the target. (DRO)

Carbonite Freeze Gun
see Carbon Freeze Gun (LAWS)

Carbonite Freeze Plant CT-642
This carbon-freezing facility was maintained by the Galactic Republic, on the planet Coruscant, during the era of the Clone Wars. The facility was believed to have been where Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, along with their clone troopers, were frozen in preparation for a mission to destroy the factories of the planet Gwori. (CWSOD)

Carbonite Guilds
This ancient order of carbonite miners and distributors held great sway in the Empress Teta System before the Great Sith War. Their ranks were decimated by the atrocities performed by the Krath. (DLS)

Carbonite Inserts
A starship component. (DE2)

Carbonite Pipeline
see Koros Trunk Line (PH)

Carbonite Projector
This device was one of the original versions of the carbon freeze gun, first produced some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (KOTOR)

Carbonite Run
This smuggling run was mapped durnig the height of the New Order, when smugglers began bypassing Imperial control of the carbonite mines in the Empress Teta System. Originating on Empress Teta, the Carbonite Run traveled past Primus Goluud along the Daragon Trail to Vulpter. On Vulpter, the Alliance established a secret base to offload the carbonite for distribution to the rest of the galaxy. (PH)

Carbonite Rush
This was the name used by historians to describe the era of history some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, during which the Empress Teta System was tapped for its huge deposits of carbonite by the Mining Guild and other groups. It was said that there was so much carbonite to move that the Mining Guild couldn't hire enough freighters to move it along the Koros Trunk Line to Coruscant. Because the Koros Trunk Line provided the only safe hyperspace travel route from Empress Teta to Coruscant, it became known as the Carbonite Pipeline. (PH)

Carbonite Sled
see Carbonite Storage Repulsor Sled (IWST)

Carbonite Storage Repulsor Sled
Developed by Bespin Motors, this specialized frame was used in carbon-freezing chambers to encase tibanna gas in carbonite slabs. The frame itself was a rectangle that contained the tiny repulsorlift projectors as well as a power-generation system, a refrigeration system, and chemical monitoring devices. This collection of systems allowed gas processors to assess the stability of the tibanna gas that was impregnated into liquid carbonite, and then frozen within the frame. The repulsors helped negate the weight of the carbonite, allowing a single individual to push the sled into position. When the sled reached its destination, the systems in the frame could be used to melt the carbonite and release the tibanna gas. In rare instances, a carbonite sled could also be used to freeze a living being, as demonstrated when Darth Vader froze Han Solo in a block of carbonite, shortly before turning the smuggler over to Boba Fett. (IWST)

Carbon-nanofilament Armor
This was a form of starship hull plating that was developed to provide more protection for warships. Known as CNF armor, this form of plating used a special weave of reinforced carbon nanofibers to add strength and structural integrity to the armor. (LSSM)

Carboplas
This unique material, a combination of plastics and carbon-fibers, was lightweight and easily molded. It was often used to form barrels and crates for transporting cargo. (AFA)

Carbo-plas
This lightweight material was developed from a specific combination of carbon-based plastics, for use in a variety of applications. Corrugated carbo-plas was used in the construction of the wings for the RZ-1 A-Wing starfighter, providing structural strength at a minimal cost for additional weight. (CCS)

Carbor
This was one of the largest cities found on the planet Essowyn. It was located on the continent of Steltout. (PG1)

Carboreductive Catalyst
This chemical compound was one of many that was important in the field of bioengineering. (SWG2P)

Carbos Thirteen
This planet was the site of a space battle between Admiral Bwua'tu and the Corellian and Bothan fleets of The Confederation, during the weeks that followed the Second Battle of Fondor. Admiral Bwua'tu managed to trap both opposing fleets near the planet, eliminating a large percentage of the warships that supported The Confederation. (LF9)

Carbosyrup
This thick, liquid foodstuff was loaded with sugars and carbohydrates that could be converted by the body of most humanoid races into energy. (CSA, SWG2P)

Carcel
This barren planet was the site of a prison facility maintained by the Galactice Alliance, during the years following the Alliance-Confederation War. (MF)

Carchar
This species of aquatic mammal was native to the oceans of Droxine. It was distinguished by its unique vascular system, which pumped blood through vessels and could also pump water through a poriferal network of vessels. These water-filled vessels allowed the carchar to manipulate its own mass, so that it could move up and down through the water column in search of prey. (GORW)

Carconth
This red supergiant star was the nearest stellar body to deep-space anomaly 1033. It was the second largest and seventh brightest of all the known stars in the galaxy. The Old Republic had been watching the star for any signs of it going supernova for at least 600 years before the advent of the New Order. (TT)

Cardacs
This Alliance starfighter pilot was assigned to be Keyan Farlander's wingman during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Cardacs signed up to help the Alliance rescue a number of prisoners from the Imperial detention center on Mytus VII, but he was killed in the battle. (XW, XWP)

Cardan I-class Space Station
This was the official designation of the Mark I Cardanclass Space Station that was produced by Kuat Drive Yards for the Empire, during the early years of the New Order. This was the smallest model producted by KDY, requiring a crew of just 1,200 beings to keep the station operable. The Cardan I-class space station could also accommodate up to 300 passengers and 15,000 metric tons of cargo and supplies. These stations were armed with a pair of light turbolaser batteries and a pair of point-defense light ion cannon batteries. (WOTC)

Cardan II-class Space Station
This was the official designation of the Mark II Cardanclass Space Station that was produced by Kuat Drive Yards for the Empire, during the early years of the New Order. This version of the Cardan-class Space Station required a crew of 2,400 beings to operate, and could also accommodate up to 600 passengers and 30,000 metric tons of cargo and supplies. These stations were armed with three light turbolaser batteries, three point-defense light ion cannon batteries, a pair of proton torpedo launchers, and two tractor beam generators. (WOTC)

Cardan III-class Space Station
This was the official designation of the Mark III Cardanclass Space Station that was produced by Kuat Drive Yards for the Empire, during the early years of the New Order. This version of the Cardan-class Space Station required a crew of 4,800 beings to operate, and could also accommodate up to 1,200 passengers and 35,000 metric tons of cargo and supplies. These stations were armed with four medium turbolaser batteries, four point-defense medium laser cannon batteries, four point-defense medium ion cannon batteries, four proton torpedo launchers, and two tractor beam generators. (WOTC)

Cardan IV-class Space Station
This was the official designation of the Mark IV Cardanclass Space Station that was produced by Kuat Drive Yards for the Empire, during the early years of the New Order. (WOTC)

Cardan V-class Space Station
This was the official designation of the Mark V Cardanclass Space Station that was produced by Kuat Drive Yards for the Empire, during the early years of the New Order. This was the largest model produced by KDY, and was designed to be a military station that could hold its own against a fleet of warships. The drydock facilities at the Cardan V-class space station could accommodate an Imperial-class Star Destroyer with ease. (WOTC)

Cardan-class Space Station
This defense platform was developed by Kuat Drive Yards during the era of the Clone Wars, but did not see widespread use until after the formation of the Galactic Empire. The original Cardan-class Space Stations were built for the Old Republic, which needed to augment planetary defense forces at the front lines of the war. These stations could be deployed in orbit around a planet or in deep space, depending on the area that was to be protected. In the wake of the Clone Wars, nearly every Cardan-class Space Station was produced for use by the Empire.

The Cardan-class Space Station was manufactured to be modular, with five basic sizes available as superstructures. Designated Mark I to Mark V, from smallest to largest, each Cardan-class Space Station design also served a basic purpose or mission profile. Mark I stations were often produced as scientific outposts, while Mark V stations were hardened military facilities. The sections and modular components of the Cardan-class Space Station were produced with Imperial Center's architectural elements in mind, making each station appear as if it had been taken from the Imperial City cityscape.

The Cardan-class Space Station was developed to serve as a more self-sufficient base of operations, where a Golan Defense Platform was often as a dedicated weapons platform that lacked repair or research facilities. Larger models were capable of supporting a complete shipyard that was capable of servicing an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, and the Mark V station could accommodate eight full TIE Fighter squadrons.

Car'das, Jorj
This man was an up-and-coming smuggler when the Clone Wars broke out. He started his career serving under Dubrak Qennto aboard the Bargain Hunter, and was present when the ship was captured by then Force Command Thrawn of the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet. Car'das and the crew spent several months in captivity, although they were free to do many things. Among them, Car'das and Ferasi learned a great deal about the Chiss culture and the Cheunh language. After his experiences with Thrawn, which included luring the Vagaari into a trap that had also been set to intercept Outbound Flight, Car'das returned to the Old Republic and realized that the galaxy was changing, and decided that the time had come for him to start his own operation. He took control of Booster Terrik's operation when Booster was sent to Kessel by Hal Horn, and created a small but successful smuggling operation, although he was small compared to what the Hutts had.

About fifteen years after the Clone Wars, Car'das was commandeered by one of the Dark Jedi from Bpfassh, who killed all the crew aboard his ship and demanded passage. Car'das survived the Dark Jedi's battle with the Jedi Master Yoda on Dagobah, after receiving treatment from Yoda himself. However, somehow Car'das was changed by the encounter. He began taking his organization to higher levels, creating a small empire that was involved in a number of criminal activities but not dominant in any one of them. This allowed him to become quite rich and modestly powerful, and his organization began to rival the Hutts' outfits. He somehow seemed to know the right move in any situation, and was always outthinking his opponents. It was during this time that Car'das also began amassing a huge library of datacards, storing information away like it was free credits. Then, one day, Car'das simply got into his private yacht and disappeared. His health finally started to fail, and the new life he had been given by Yoda evaporated. Car'das travelled to Dagobah to demand that Yoda put everything right. Yoda simply took his blaster and the beckon call from his ship and flung them into the jungle, then berated Car'das for wasting the gift he had been given. He also told Car'das that he couldn't help him any further, since he was busy preparing for the arrival of Luke Skywalker.

Car'das couldn't return to his group, so he fled to Exocron, where Yoda had indicated he might receive help from the Aing-Tii monks. Despite the fact that he had no connection to the Force, Car'das was taught how to use his mind to move objects across short distances. His time with the Aing-Tii was deemed beneficial for both sides, as the Aing-Tii were able to gather a wealth of knowledge about the outside galaxy. They learned to understand the Basic language, and were able to build a specialized translator that sampled an Aing-Tii's pheromones and converted them to a form of speech that could be vocalized to another being. Meanwhile, Car'das's organization continued to thrive for several months, but the lieutenants began to discuss the need for a true leader. Rather than put it to a vote, Talon Karrde - one of Car'das' most trusted students - simply took control of the organization. The other leaders weren't happy, but the new operation flourished for the next twenty years. After the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, Karrde sent Lando Calrissian and Mara Jade to search for Car'das, a search which took seven years and ended up with Car'das somewhere on the planet Exocron. The lone clue was the beckon call Luke Skywalker had recovered on Dagobah. Later, Lando thought that Car'das held information which could help the New Republic diffuse the Caamas Incident, but Karrde refused to bring Car'das into it.

During the Caamas Incident, Karrde finally realized that he had to confront Car'das; if not to confront his own fears, then to recover a copy of the Caamas Document. Car'das played an elaborate ruse on him, first appearing as a withered old man bed-ridden on the planet Exocron. Car'das' fortess was built into the side of a mountain, and Karrde was surprised at the other man's advanced age. However, Car'das had been planning this for some time - ever since he learned of Calrissian and Jade's search. Car'das used Karrde's desire to locate him as a way to draw the crimelord Rei'kas to Exocron and near the Kathol Rift. Car'das and Trey David knew Exocron couldn't stand against Rei'kas's fleet, but they also knew that the Aing-Tii monks wanted to eliminate Rei'kas.

By allowing Karrde to get to Exocron, Car'das and David also gave Exocron's location to Rei'kas. However, Rei'kas' fleet was destroyed by the Aing-Tii monks when it tried to attack Exocron. This maneuvering was nearly transparent to Karrde, who realized that Car'das was more than a frail old man. He returned to Exocron and confronted Car'das again, who was no longer an aged man but a healthy man of somewhat advanced age. He also revealed the true size of his fortress, with its immense library of datacards. Within it, Car'das was unable to locate a copy of the Caamas Document. He was, however, able to dig up a wealth of information on Grodin Tierce, Moff Disra, and the conman Flim. Karrde and Shada D'ukal brought this information back to Admiral Pellaeon, after saying their goodbyes to Car'das.

Car'das vanished from the galactic scene for a couple of years, before Dean Jinzler revealed that he had received word of Voss Parck's mission to locate the remains of the Outbound Flight Project from Car'das himself. Car'das then made sure Jinzler arrived, going so far as to trail Jinzler and help repair his ship in the Flacharia System. Jinzler told Luke Skywalker that Car'das was only trying to fulfill a promise he'd made years ago. Car'das then accompanied Jinzler aboard the Chaf Envoy when Aristocra Formbi greeted them, although Jinzler couldn't comprehend the discussion between Formbi and Car'das.

Card-chip
In the game of sabacc, card-chips were used to form any given hand. Each card-chip had a small display panel that showed the card's suit and value, or the image of one of the many face cards. Each card-chip also had a transceiver chip imbedded in it, which allowed the table-field to communicate any changes to its suit and/or value while the card-chip was still held by a player, in accordance with the rules of sabacc. Once a card-chip was placed onto the table-field, its suit and value was locked for the duration of the hand. Note that some sources indicate that individual card-chips had buttons that could be pushed to reveal the image of its suit and value. (LCS, MIS6)

Cardio-Muscular Package
This form of cybernetic enhancement involves the use of rybcoarse-based reinforcements to the recipient's heart, lungs, and muscles. The package allows the cyborg to run faster, lift more, and withstand more damage. The drawback was that the recipient suddenly feels invincible, and more often than not drives the recipient to self-destruct while attempting to hyper-exert themself. NeuroSaav Corporation pioneered this technology. (CFG)

Cardo
This Sedrian was the high priest of the city of Fitsay when Karak and his followers stole a piece of the Golden Sun before being driving into the sea. Cardo himself was the leader of a group of priests who felt that the Golden Sun should be kept to the priests, being too powerful for the commoners to have access to it. Cardo treated the Golden Sun as simply a coral, not an intelligent lifeform. When Karak tried to steal the Golden Sun for himself and Commander Aban, Cardo fought valliantly to keep them out of the Great Shell Dome. Cardo was seriously wounded by Karak's attack. Only his proximity to the Golden Sun kept him alive to warn Pek of Karak's treachery. (BGS)

Caretaker Virus
This computer virus was unleashed by the Ithorian, Zorneth, in his efforts to save the Smilers from exploitation. The virus was targetted to infect droids. When the droids encountered a Smiler in trouble, the virus took control of their systems and forced the droids to rescue the Smiler, no matter what the cost. The virus helped Zorneth keep the secret of savorium, but it also was planned to help him infect the galaxy with savorium. Zorneth had planned to take control of the savorium-addicted galaxy, until his untimely death prevented it. (DRO)

Carewa
This man was a shipmate of Rosen and Benchar, and a companion of Cecil the Wookiee. They often hung out while on shoreleave, playing sabacc in the local bars. Note that this is a reference to the baseball player Rod Carew. (SWJ11)

Cargamalis
This planet was located in the Mid Rim's Bruanii Sector, near the planets Javin and Aztubek. (WOA33)

Cargeloh
This man served as Coruscant's Air Marshall during the height of the New Order. He was responsible for ensuring the safety of the huge amount of traffic which moved across the planet's surface. In his early career, Cargeloh was a TIE Fighter pilot who earned his rank of Air Marshall by destroying a rebellious city to rubble with just four TIE Bombers. He later served as a flight instructor, and many young TIE Fighter pilots clearly remembered the way he would slap them across the face with his leather gloves whenever they made a mistake. (CCW)

Cargo Blimp
This antiquated form of transport employed a huge, gas-filled balloon to achieve lift. The balloon was filled with lighter-than-air gases that kept it aloft, and counteracted the weight of the cargo that was carried in a gondola that was attached to the underside of the balloon. Propulsion and steering were accomplished by an attached drive system, also attached to the underside of the balloon. (DN1)

Cargo Consolidated, Incorporated
This shipping business was owned by the Herglic merchant Hamar-Chaktak. (TSIA)

Cargo Empress-class Super Freighter
This large Ghtroc Industries bulk freighter had the distinctive swept-back look of the Class 720 freighter, but was 110 meters in length. It required a crew of four to operate, had space for up to eight passengers, and could transport up to 50,000 metric tons of cargo. The Cargo Empress had minimal shielding, and was unarmed. The ship never sold well, and contributed to the eventual bankruptcy of Ghtroc Industries. Leftover stock was sold at auctions, and many Cargo Empress-class ships ended up in pirate fleets. (SWJ9, PP)

Cargo Ferry
This was the generic term used to describe any small craft designed to transport a single cargo container to and from storage. These 90-meter craft were often equipped with stabilizing wings that kept the ship upright, with the cargo container locked on top. These craft were relatively slow, being rated at a top speed of 20 MGLT, and were usually unarmed and minimally shielded. (TSC)

Cargo Pod
This was the generic term used to describe any separate storage contained that could be bolted onto the hull of a starship, allowing the starship to increase its overall cargo capacity. The addition of one or more cargo pods to a starship resulted in an ungainly appearance that sacrificed maneuverability for space. (SSOG)

Cargo Track
This was the name given to the swoopracing track that circled the Center Sphere section of Bartyn's Landing, on the planet Lamaredd, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. (GMR7)

Cargo X
This was one of two Imperial container ships assigned to the replenishment fleet which contained the Black Ice. (BI)

Cargohopper 102
This TaggeCo vertical/short takeoff and landing cargo lifter measures 5.5 meters in length. They were particularly useful in spaceports which had limited landing pad surface area. Older models were equipped with a loading claw, while more modern versions used a small tractor beam generator to manipulate cargo. The Cargohopper was little more than a pilot's seat and a sled-like cargo hold, which was open to the air for easiler loading. However, both the pilot's seat and the cargo bed were uncovered, leaving them exposed to the elements. (CSA, AEG)

Cargo-lifter
This was the generic term used to describe any utility craft that was used to load and unload cargo. Repulsor-equipped cargo-lifters were common sights at most spaceports, and military fleets often maintained a group of sublight cargo-lifters to shuttle supplies from planetary depots. Older models employed mechanical claws to manipulate cargos, while newer models used tractor beams. (HSR, KOR5)

Cargo-Mover
This brand of light-duty starship tractor beam generator was produced by Bonadon. (PP)

Cargorunner
This was a 3.4-meter-long cargo speeder produced by Maeltorp during the height of the New Order. (SWJ4)

Cargryph Capital Management
This was the proposed name of a joint venture between Zayne Carrick and Marn Hierogryph, some 3,963 befre the Battle of Yavin. Hierogryph suggested the name after they defeated Haazen, an event for which Zayne had been given a promotion to the rank of Jedi Knight. Zayne had refused the promotion, however, choosing to remain loyal to Marn and vowing that they would work to ensure that the little people were not left by the wayside during the Mandalorian War. Marn suggested that their first venture would involve the recovery of a vast, financial database that was rumored to have survived the destruction of the Draay Estate. (KOR10)

Carhill

Cari
This planet, the fifth world in the Caridan System, was a gas giant which was orbited by fourteen natural satellites. (PH)

Carid, Baltan
This white-haired Mandalorian soldier was one of many who threw in their support for Boba Fett to serve as the Mandalore, during the years following the Swarm War. Distinguished by his cheerful nature and dark blue tattoo of a vine that ran from his chin down his chest, Carid was among the many Mandalorians who fought against the Yuuzhan Vong, killing many by his own hand before returning to Mandalore. In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong War, he maintained his family by taking on mercenary work when it was available.

It was generally believed that Carid was more intimidating without his helmet, when he could display his emotions with a devastating sneer. This also revealed that his vine tattoo continued to "grow", as he added new leaves and vines over time. In combat, he often swore and shouted expletives at his enemies, never using the same terms twice, in order to scare them or disorient them.

Carid was one of the many Mandalorians who questioned Jaina Solo's sudden appearance on Mandalore, and reminded her that it was himself and a group of Mandalorians who had saved Han Solo at Caluula Station. Carid was also among the many Mandalorians who participated in the Second Battle of Fondor, where they served as backup for Admiral Daala's Maw Irregular Fleet, and recaptured the destroyer Bloodfin. (LF5, LF8)

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

Carida Engines
Formerly headquartered on Carida, this heavy machine manufacturer was responsible for the production of the MT-AT walker. (JASB)

Carida Nebula
This was the term used to describe the supernova of blood-red gases that marked the remains of the Carida System, which had been destroyed by Kyp Durron and the Sun Crusher. It was rumored that the vaporized blood of every being who was killed in the supernova was what gave the nebula its red color. (LF9)

Carida-DavanM-8789753-J7Y5
This was the designation odf the Carida Holonet node assigned to Myrette Davani, during her training at the Carida Academy. (PH)

Caridan
Native to Carida, this race of squat, barrel-chested humanoids had spindly arms and legs,and were characterized by their wing-like, bushy eyebrows. They had numerous dealings with the Old Republic, especially during the formation of the original military Academies that were later restructured as Imperial Academies. When Emperor Palpatine rose to power, the Caridans were initially happy with the change in government, viewing the Empire as a large customer for their planet's environment. Palaptine's xenophobic leadership didn't sit well with the Caridans, although the Empire was allowed to remain on Carida indefinitely. After the destruction of the planet Carida, only a handful of Caridans remained at large in the galaxy, mainly merchants and a few supporters of the New Republic. (JS, PH)

Caridan
This was the native language of the Caridan race. (EGP)

Caridan
This star was the central body in the Caridan System. (PH)

Caridan Academy
see Caridan Military Academy (A)

Caridan Military Academy
This was the name of the military school which was founded on the Spinara Plateau, on the planet Carida, during the height of the Old Republic. Originally founded as a way to shore up the Republic's military after a major battle was over, the Academy evolved as the Republic's own stance on the defense of individual planets changed. The Academy was responsible for the education of the best Planetary Security Forces officers during the last decades of the Old Republic, supplying many planets with security and military officers when the Republic could not fleets or forces to protect a planet. After Emperor Palpatine instituted the New Order, the Academy of Carida was absorbed as a satellite of the Imperial Academy.

Han Solo graduated from Caridan Academy, several years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. (HNN5, A)

Carigan
This Old Republic Governor of the planet Bryx managed to keep the early Imperial armed forces at bay when they tried to subjugate Bryx. He set up a system of ground-based guns and submersible fighters to combat the Empire. His defensive tactic were later known as the "Carigan Defense," although he eventually was overwhelmed by the Empire. (SWJ2)

Carigan Defense
This ground-based defensive measure was named for Governor Carigan, of the planet Bryx. Carigan managed to keep the early Imperial armed forces at bay when they tried to subjugate the planet. He set up a system of ground-based guns and submersible fighters to combat the Empire. His defensive tactic were largely effective, although he eventually was overwhelmed by the Empire. Despite its success, the Carigan Defense was rarely used by other planets, as it requried a great deal of time and equipment to prepare. (SWJ2)

Car'ika
This was a common nickname used by many Mandalorians to describe Carid. (LF8)

Carillion-class Starship
An Imperial starship. (COJ)

Carinth, Coli
This woman was one of the few spacers who knew how to locate the planet Iego, although she kept its location a well-maintained secret. During the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, she made regular trips to the planet in her starship, the Archai, bringing people to get a view of the Angels who lived on Iego and its moons. However, Coli was unaware that she had been "possessed" by the Angels, who subverted her mind in order to bring unsuspecting beings to Iego abd strand them there. (GORW)

Carioglyphs
The writing of the Sluissi. (DFR)

Carith, "Grommet"
This Imperial starfighter pilot was assigned to the crew of the frigate Fogger, during the months leading up to the Battle of Hoth. It was unclear to his peers how he had earned the nickname Grommet, since it had been given to him before his service aboard the Fogger, and Carith himself refused to reveal any more details. Carith was noted for his rough sense of humor, and managed to pull several pranks on Maarek Stele, when Stele first arrived aboard the frigate. Carith was exceptionally good at imitating the wild calls of the Tusken Raiders of Tatooine, a skill he claimed to have picked up while being stationed on Tatooine many years earlier. Stele also discovered that Carith was fond of talking, and would ramble on about almost anything if he wasn't properly focused on a specific task. Carith and fellow pilot Alimet served as Stele's wingmen during a mission to destroy a Mugaari weapons depot in the Tungra Sector. After being promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, Carith was later transferred to the frigate Ludwick, where he was reunited with Stele. They served together during the mission to eliminate the Pakuuni pirates, and after Stele was transferred to the Shamus, Carith unexpectedly decided to defect from Imperial service and join the Alliance. (TIEP)

Carithlee
This Alliance starfighter pilot was a veteran of Rogue Squadron. (WS)

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

Carkoon

Carl
This immense, blue-bodied Shikitari was the property of a Devaronian conman, who sold the being to a Rattataki warlord who hoped to use the natural Shikitari body structure to win one of the gladiator events known as the Blood Sport of Rattatak. Unknown to the Rattataki was the fact that Carl was in his pupal stage, which only lasted two standard days. This fact never came into play, however, because Carl was entered into the same event as Asajj Ventress. Despite his unique physiology, Carl was killed in combat. (SWDB)

Carlanian Volcanic Pipe

She foiled Mara Jade's first attempt on Luke Skywalker's life in Jabba's palace, intercepting Mara and accusing her of working with Lady Valarian. Mara then used the Force to coerce Melina into shooting a Gamorrean guard, creating a diversion for an escape. Note that X-Wing: The Bacta War hints that Melina Carniss was actually Mara Jade. It was believed that Carniss sold information to Ysanne Isard about the actions of Rogue Squadron during the Bacta War. She also sold information of Isard's movements to the Rogues, which allowed them to anticipate the attack of the Corrupter and Aggregator at Alderaan. When Talon Karrde discovered her duplicity, he had her eliminated as a threat to the Republic. (TJP, BW, NEGC)

Carnivore Battalion
This was one of the clone trooper units that was stationed aboard the warship Resolute, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. (CWTV24)

Carnivorous Mold
This orange and yellow form of fungi was native to the planet Nim Drovis. This mold was mobile when it groups into clumps, and had a limited form of intelligence that allows it to pursue prey. The groups ooze with a digestive slime that eats away flesh and dissolves into a liquid the mold can ingest. (POT)

Carnovian Eel-pup
This creature was considered a culinary delicacy by the Hutts. (RD)

Carnth
This world was under the control of the Empire during the New Order. Airen Cracken and a group of Alliance agents convinced the farmers of the world to support the Alliance, but only after a brief display of force. The farmers had been told, by the Imperial prefect, that the Alliance was nothing but a group of pirates, and they refused to help them. Cracken's team modified their blasters to fire a wide spread of stun-level beams, bringing down a number of farmers without harming them. (CFG)

Caros Arrow
This specialized projectile was used by the Tunroth Hunters who employed a klirun bow. (AIR)

Carosi
This once-unassuming, orange star was the primary body in the Carosus System. The star expanded into a red giant about 200 years before the Nbattle of Yavin, and consumed the five innermost planets in its system when it did. The event was foreseen by Carosite astronomers, and most Carosites on the fourth planet were evacuated to Carosi XII. Carosi and its remaining planets were located in the Outer Rim Territories. (PG2, AE)

Carosi Alpha Hospital
This medical facility was the largest such operation on Carosi XII. The Sudden Restoration brings all of its wounded here for treatment. (PG2)

Carosi IV
This was the fourth planet in the Carosus System, and the homeworld of the Carosite race. It was was destroyed during the expansion of the Carosi star, forcing the native Carosites to flee to Carosi XII. (PG2)

Carosi IX
This gas giant was the ninth planet in the Carosus System, until its star expanded into a red giant. It was now the fourth planet. It had six natural satellites. (PG2)

Carosi Pup
This small creature was often described as "cute." (POT)

Carosi VI
This planet was the sixth planet in the Carosus System, until its star expanded into a red giant. It was now the first planet, and had become a hot, rocky wasteland with no natural satellites. (PG2)

Carosi VII
This planet was the seventh planet in the Carosus System, until its star expanded into a red giant. It was now the second planet, and was a hot, desolate swamp world enveloped in a greenhouse effect. It had one natural satellite. (PG2)

Carosi VIII
This planet was the eighth planet in the Carosus System, until its star expanded into a red giant. It was now the third planet, and was covered by a dense, hot jungle drenched in a greenhouse effect. It had two moons. (PG2)

Carosi X
This gas giant was the tenth planet in the Carosus System, until its star expanded into a red giant. It was now the fifth planet, orbitted by 10 moons. (PG2)

Carosi XI
This gas giant was the eleventh planet in the Carosus System, until its star expanded into a red giant. It was now the sixth planet. It had 15 natural satellites. (PG2)

Carosi XII
This cool world was the twelfth planet in the Carosus System, a frozen, ice-covered rock just barely showing signs of life. Then the Carosi star began to expand into a red giant. The gradual increase in surface temperature had turned Carosi XII into a habitable world, now the seventh planet in the system. The metling ice had formed the Avuae Sea, which was now teaming with life. It was the current homeworld of the Carosites, who fled Carosi IV. The Carosites who now live there were ardent supporters of the New Republic. The planet was girded by the Eurae Mountains. Its average day lasted 30 standard hours, and its year encompasses 400 local days. One of the primary economic forces on the planet was tourism, with visitors from across the galaxy coming to partake of the pleasure domes found there. (PG2, POT)

Carosi XII Academy of Medicine
This prestigious medical education facility was located on Carosi XII. (AIR)

Carosite
An alien race once native to the planet Carosi IV. When the star Carosi expanded from a normal orange star to a red giant, the Carosites fled Carosi IV for Carosi XII. They were a bidepal, humanoid race. Carosites were tall and thin, with unusually long necks. They were covered with a fine coat of fur, and have long snouts and dark eyes. The lifespan of a Carosite about 120 local years. The Carosites have a unique, five-fingered hand that had two opposable digits on either side of the hand. The flight from Carosi IV had left them culturally disoirented, which meant they were easily coerced by the Empire. Since the Battle of Yavin, the Carosites have pledged their support to the New Republic, and have become quite adept in the fields of medicine and mechanics. They also became the primary trading partner of the Ebranite race. (COJ, PG2, GG12)

Caross
The capital city of the planet Togoria, Caross was a wondrous city surrounded by grassy plains. The city was populated primarily be female Togorians, most prominently the closest relative of the Margrave, as the males of the species were often deemed too wild to be polite. (GG4, MIS8)

Carper, Deckland
This businessman was native of Alderaan. He suddenly found himself the target of a bounty, placed on his head by an Imperial Admiral who was a childhood rival. The Admiral contracted Thune to kill Carper, in an effort to avenge a squabble he had lost as a child. Thune took the job and killed Deckland in cold blood. She then cut off his head and returned it to the Admiral as proof of his death. Thune then took possession of Carper's droid, U-THR. (SWJ14)

Carpet-back

When the Atrivis Resistance Group was forged, Carplin agreed to become Travia Chan's chief of staff. Carplin was a large, incredibly strong man who was known for his combat skills. Although he was based on Generis during the Galactic Civil War, Carplin travelled from outpost to outpost, gathering data to feed back to Chan. He was assisted by the Wookiee, Busurra, who acted as his replacement when Carplin was away from the Generis base. (RASB)

Carr, Hondo
see Karr, Hondo (SWI112)

Carr, Malik
This Yuuzhan Vong served as the Commander of the fleet which moved Coreward after the Battle of Ithor. After the death of Elan, Malik Carr was placed in command of the fleet which was sent to Hutt Space, to negotiate an alliance with Borga the Hutt. He was operating under the direct orders of Nas Choka, who had promoted Malik Carr to a position of command. Malik Carr detested the Hutts and their homeworld of Nal Hutta. Malik Carr hoped to be escalated to a higher position of power when he accepted the mission to capture and hold the shipyards at the planet Fondor. When the blast from Centerpoint Station decimated his forces, Malik Carr found himself demoted from command and placed in charge of the prison camps on the planet Selvaris. He briefly considered suicide when the Jenet prisoner Thorsh managed to escape from the planet with vital - although unidentified - information, since it was another failure added to his career. Unknown to Carr, Thorsh carried information on Selvaris' location, which gave the Galactic Alliance all the information it needed to launch a rescue mission. The mission reached Selvaris just as a prisoner transfer was taking place to the Sacred Pyre, and Malik Carr found himself a captive instead of the captor. He was allowed to live by Judder Page, who realized that Carr would probably be executed upon reaching Coruscant without the prisoners. However, thanks to the actions of Warmaster Nas Choka, Malik Carr was not executed on Coruscant. Instead, he was reinstated to the position of Supreme Commander for his efforts at Selvaris and dispatched to oversee the installation of the yammosk on Caluula. There, he was able to recapture Page, along with Han and Leia Organa Solo. However, something on Caluula quickly took its toll on Malik Carr and the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong. Within a few days, the aliens' bio-technology had died. Shortly afterward, the Yuuzhan Vong themselves started to die. Malik Carr made one last trek to kill his captives, but died before he could do so. It was later revealed that the Bothan Intellgence agent Wraw had been ordered to test a new strain of the Alpha Red virus at Caluula. (HT, JE, UF)

Carr, Yomin
One of the Yuuzhan Vong's advance scouts, Yomin Carr posed as a human being in order to infiltrate the ExGal Society's base on Belkadan. From there, he could assist in blinding the galaxy to initial phases of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. He hated the weak humans he worked with, but held a grudging respect for Danni Quee. As Nom Anor's plans reached their culmination, Yomin Carr maintained communication with Prefect Da'Gara and coordinated the landing of the Yuuzhan Vong's first warship on Helska. From there, he eliminated ExGal-4, and was a first-hand witness to the initial stages of the Praetorite Vong's invasion. However, in his zeal to ensure the New Republic was unaware of the Yuuzhan Vong presence, he did not anticipate that Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade would travel to Belkadan and investigate the planet's destruction. Luke and Mara were forced into a desparate battle with Carr, who used every organic weapon in his arsenal against them. Unfortunately for Yomin Carr, he was unable to take control of Mara's lightsaber during a brief melee. He tried to swing his amphistaff down and crush her head, but she managed to get the blade of the lightsaber up in time to catch him in the chest. Carr's momentum carried him further onto the blade,which pierced his armor and burned his heart. (VP)

Carrack-class Cruiser
Developed during the final years of the Old Republic, the Carrack-class cruiser was built by Damorian Manufacturing. At 350 meters in length, the Carrack-class was larger than a Lancer-class ship but smaller than a Dreadnaught. It was manned by a crew of 1,092, with room for up to 142 troops. It was known as a durable and sturdy vessel because of its redundant internal superstructure and its compartmentalized bulkheads. These features meant that crew losses in battle could be minimalized, but it also meant that internal space was at a premium. The Carrack-class cruiser only had room for 3,500 metric tons of cargo, and no space for transporting smaller vessels. In order to carry fighters or other ships, the Carrack was equipped with external racks.

The original motivation for producing the Carrack was to counteract the effectiveness of the Corellian Corvette. Thus, it found usage in the Separatist naval forces before becoming a staple in the Imperial Navy, when it could not obtain many CR90 corvettes. The Carrack-class cruiser could carry up to four TIE Fighters on its of external racks. They were also among the fastest Imperial capital ships, rated at 18 MGLT. However, it was lightly armored near its power generators, which posed a problem in battle.

The Carrack-class cruiser boasted the following components:

(TB, JS, HTTE, ISB, TIE, SSOG)

Carratos
This planet, located about 40 parsecs from Coruscant, was the planet on which Akanah first sensed Luke Skywalker. She was sent there as a child, when the Empire first invaded Lucazec, and was the only Fallanassi child sent there. (BTS)

Carratosian
This was the name used to describe the hjuman inhabitants of the planet Carratos. (BF4)

Carrdooine Chills

Carrick, Arvan
This man joined the bank on Telerath as a customer service and dispute resolution advocate during the final years of the Mandalorian Wars. He was assigned the case of Baron Hyro Margryph and his wife, Chantique, who had been trying to reopen one of their Taris-based accounts. Unknown to Arvan, the pair were actually the Arkanians known as the Camper and Jarael, who were trying to open one of Marn Hierogryph's accounts, which had been frozen in the wake of the so-called "Padawan Massacre."

When the Camper passed a retinal scan to prove he wasn't Hierogryph, then provided the Snivvian's thirty-digit passcode without hesitation, Arvan agreed to take their case to the Telerath dispute and bring it to resolution as soon as possible. Thus, he was surprised when two Ithorians, Dob and Del, attacked them in the middle of an open-air plaza. His surprise only grew when Chantique stepped forward and attacked the Ithorians, forcing them to the ground all by herself and demanding to know why they were there. Arvan's situation went from bad to worse when the Ithorians kidnapped him and ran off, but he was in for one more surprise.

As the Ithorians fled, they were pursued by Zayne Carrick, who Arvan recognized as his own son. Zayne managed to follow them and release his father, who explained that his transfer to Telerath was completely unexpected, and followed almost immediately in the wake of the so-called "Padawan Massacre." Arvan took the job knowing that his promotion was somehow tied to Zayne, but hoping to make a fresh start for himself and his family.

Arvan also explained that he believed his son was innocent, or that Zayne's part in the murders was absolutely necessary. He then helped get Marn Hierogryph's money out of Telerath, so that Zayne and his companions could continue their search for the truth. In order to provide a measure of safety for his family, Arvan agreed to Zayne's plan, in which he turned down his promotion to Telerath and, instead, accepted a position on Dantooine. There, the Carrick family could be somewhat protected by the Jedi Order, which maintained a training facility on the planet. (KOR3)

Carrick, Reiva
This woman was Arvan Carrick's wife, and the mother of Zayne Carrick and four other children. (KOR3)

Carrick, Zayne
This Jedi Padawan was studying the ways of the Force on Taris, during the years following the Great Sith War. Zayne was the third child, and only son, of Arvan and Reiva Carrick, and was raised on the planet Phaeda before he was discovered by Jedi Master Vandar Tokare at the age of five. A student of Master Lucien Draay, Zayne was originally trained on Dantooine, and showed enough of a connection to the Force to be trained further by Master Draay. However, Zayne's dedication to the Jedi Order was matched only by his ineptitude. Master Lucien often made side comments to the effect that Zayne was "proof that the Force had a sense of humor." Like the other Padawans being trained on Taris at the time, Zayne was assigned certain police duties, in an effort to help the local constabulary deal with the crime that was running rampant on the planet. Again, Master Lucien had humorous anecdotes about Zayne, claiming that he was easy to find by simply "following the trail of debris" created as Zayne tried to catch Marn Hierogryph. During the height of the Mandalorian Wars, Zayne and his fellow Padawans on Taris were invited to a ceremony by Master Lucien and the other Jedi Masters. Zayne would have been on time, but he finally managed to capture Hierogryph. The delay in capturing the Snivvian saved Zayne's life, as he arrived at the ceremony to find that the other Padawans had been slain by their Masters. Zayne fled the scene with Hierogryph, forcing Lucien and the others to accuse him of the murders. A bounty approaching 61,000 credits was offered for his capture.

With the news media proclaiming him a dangerous criminal and demanding his captred, Zayne fled Coruscant, and tried to seek out a way to survive among the very criminals he had sworn to bring to justice. While arguing with Marn, he realized that his Masters actually hated the Sith, despite the Jedi Code's prohibitions on strong emotions. This tipped him off to the trouble, but left him no closer to an answer. The pair were able to escape Taris with the help of Jarael and The Camper, and recovered the badly damaged body of the labor droid T1-LB on the Rogue Moon. T1-LB's memory banks contained a record of the events surrounding the murders of the Padawans, and cleared Zayne of any part in their deaths. However, T1-LB destroyed its memory banks after seeing its own "death," leaving Zayne without any proof of his innocence. Thus, when Valius Ying and his bounty hunters captured them, Zayne felt that he had no other recourse than to turn himself in. Upon his return to Taris, Zayne was given a full explanation of the murders by Master Draay, who explained that Zayne should have died as well. The Masters had been forced to strike before he arrived when Shad Jelavan saw through their plans and tipped their hands. He was rescued from harm by Jarael, who smashed her way into the Taris compound wearing one of the environment suits that the Jedi Masters feared were the armor of the Sith Lords they had seen in their visions.

Zayne and his companions fled into the galaxy, but he vowed to hunt down Master Draay and his companions until one of them confessed to their crimes and cleared his name. On Vanquo, their path crossed that of the renegade Mandalorian, Rohlan Dyre, when Jarael was captured when she posed as a Jedi Knight. Dyre explained that she had been taken to Flashpoint Station, and agreed to help the band infiltrate the station as part of his own fact-finding mission. On Flashpoint, Zayne posed as Rohlan's prisoner, allowing them access to Demagol's research labs. Once inside, they rendered Demagol unconscious, and Zayne donned his armor to pose as the doctor. Together with Marn and the Camper, they were able to rescue Jarael and the Jedi captives on Flashpoint, before fleeing the installation. Several months later, the group traveled to Telerath in an attempt to unfreeze one of Marn's bank accounts, and give the group some badly-needed credits. He was surprised when their banker turned out to be his own father, Arvan. In another daring rescue, they freed Arvan from the Moomo Brothers. Arvan then explained that he had been recently promoted to his position on Telerath, shortly after Zayne was accused of murder. They discovered that the promotion had been orchestrated by someone within the Draay Trust, adding another mystery to Zayne's quest. After seeing his father and family safely transferred to Dantooine, Zayne set off once again in search of answers. Before leaving Telerath, however, Zayne wired a portion of the credits Marn had given him to Shel Jelavan on Taris, hoping that she could use the credits to escape before the Mandalorians arrived.

Jarael and The Camper agreed to transport Zayne and Marn to Ralltiir, but then left the pair in order to find a quieter place to live. Marn, for his own part, decided that Ralltiir was a great place to be, since he found that he could make a wealth of credits selling to both sides of the growing war against the Mandalorians. Marn found a niche when he hired Slyssk to steal the Little Bivoli, when he learned that the Trandoshan was an excellent cook. They established a small commissary on Serroco, catering to the Republic forces that were stationed there. Zayne was uncomfortable with the situation, fearing that the soldiers would recognize them. He adopted the alias of Shad Camper, but was shaken not by being discovered, but by a powerful vision through the Force. Having been told he was not a seer by his teachers, Zayne discovered that visions which came unbidden were not to be ignored. In this case, he foresaw the Mandalore devastating the planet Serroco, heedless of the innocent Stereb who lived on the planet. He warned Hierogryph before stowing away on Carth Onasi's transport ship in an attempt to contact Admiral Saul Karath. Karath refused to listen to Zayne, claiming that he was a Mandalorian spy. When his true identity was revealed, Zayne was sent to the brig on the Courageous and held until the Mandalorians could be engaged.

When the Courageous was attacked and boarded by the Mandalorians, Zayne used the Force to open an access panel from the brig to the hangar bay, allowing himself, Carth Onasi, Admiral Karath, and Commander Dallan Morvis a chance to escape. They fled to the Perave System, hoping to find refuge on the planet Arkania. Instead, Karath was confronted by Lord Arkoh Adasca, who had chosen Karath to negotiate on the Republic's behalf for the exogorths that Adascorp was breeding. Aboard the Arkanian Legacy, Zayne was reunited with Jarael, who was being held prisoner in order to force The Camper to continue his work on the exogorths. However, he was taken prisoner when Lucien Draay arrived, and they were both held captive during the negotiations Lord Adasca held for control of his exogorths. The two men were forced to work together to escape from their droid guards, then Draay turned and tried to kill Zayne with his lightsaber. Zayne managed to save himself by deflecting Draay's blow with his vambraces, forcing Draay to realize that Zayne was not supposed to die just yet.

After Carth Onasi returned his lightsaber to him, Zayne managed to gather Onasi and Rohlan Dyre into his plans to disrupt the negotiations. Zayne donned Rohlan's new armor and entered the observatory of the Arkanian Legacy just prior to Onasi. Onasi then pretended to pick a fight with him, and knocked Zayne toward Jarael's position. Zayne then drew his lightsaber and freed Jarael, and used her bracelet to let The Camper know that she was free. The Camper then took control of the exogorths and fled into hyperspace, leaving Zayne and the others trying to find a way off the Arkanian vessel. Their escape was briefly blocked by Lucien Draay, until the Moomo Brothers blasted their way aboard to rescue them. Slyssk, who had been traveling with the Ithorians, explained that Marn Hierogryph needed Zayne's help on Taris, and the group fled into hyperspace.

Upon returning to Taris and locating Marn among the Hidden Beks, Zayne was attacked by both Raana Tey and Shel Jelavan, who both wanted to see him pay for the murders of the Padawans. Raana Tey was stopped by Senator Goravvus, after he learned that Zayne had located the missing children of Noana Sowrs. Confused by this turn of events, Zayne tracked down Shel and tried to figure out why she wanted him dead. Raana Tey had been filling her head with stories of Zayne's supposed role in the death of Shad Jelavan, and Shel had believed her. Raana Tey refused to acknowledge the truth, but Shel found herself unable to believe that Zayne had been the killer. In the days that followed, Zayne joined Shel and Raana Tey on a mission to infiltrate the Jedi Tower and determine the location of Cassus Fett, as part of a mission to eliminate the Mandalorian leader.

Zayne discovered that Cassus Fett had already left the building, and tried to tell Raana Tey that they needed to stop the mission, but she attacked him with her lightsaber. She might have killed him, if Shel Jelavan hadn't stepped in and stabbed her brother's lightsaber through Raana Tey's chest, thereby preventing Zayne from being a murderer. During their escape, Zayne tried to help get Raana Tey to safety, but she was trapped on the roof of the Jedi Tower. When she drew her lightsaber to free herself, Marn Hierogryph believed that she was trying to kill Zayne, and set off the explosives that were meant for the Mandalorians. Raana Tey died knowing that Zayne was not a murderer, and asked Zayne to tell Krynda that she was worry. Zayne had no idea who Krynda was, but he hoped that finding Krynda would help him finally understand what was going on around him.

Zayne and Marn returned to help the resistance, but were kicked out when Marn left a secure door open, allowing a group of rakghouls to attack the survivors. They fled into the sewers, where they met up with Celeste Morne, who was searching for the Muur Talisman. Before she could locate it, however, the Mandalorian scientist known as Pulsipher discovered its location and took it. Zayne found himself following Celeste as they stowed away aboard the Mar'eyce to keep and eye on Pulsipher and recover the Muur Talisman. When the ship landed on Jebble, Zayne discovered that his identity was not known among the soldiers, who believed him to be just another new recruit. Thus, he was able to move about the Mandalorian base without worrying about being discovered. During this time, he learned that the Mandalorians were planning a bold attack on the planet Alderaan, but he also learned that a new form of the Rakghoul Plague had broken out on Jebble. Zayne broke into the Waypoint on Jebble and tried to warn Cassus Fett about the situation, and was disheartened when the Mandalorian leader refused to believe him. Zayne then set out to locate Marn Hierogryph, but was captured by a group of rakghouls who were working for Pulsipher. Pulsipher believed that Zayne's connection to the Force would help him unlock the secrets of the Muur Talisman, but the talisman sensed Zayne's presence and detached itself from Pulsipher's arm, then tried to attach itself to Zayne

Celeste Morne intevened, and the talisman attached itself to her neck. She was possessed by the spirit of Karness Muur, but refused to let the Sith Lord use her to create a rakghoul army. Zayne helped Celeste place her body into Lord Dreypa's Oubliette, where the talisman would not be able to influence the outside world. As the rakghoul hordes closed in on them, Zayne and Marn were surprised to see the Moomo Williwaw landing on Jebble. Alek, Jarael, and the others had followed them from Taris, and their rescue couldn't have been more timely. Shortly after lifting off, Zayne and the others watched as Cassus Fett's flagship arrived and bombarded Jebble from orbit, destroying all the Mandalorian outposts and wiping out the rakghouls. Zayne then called in a favor from Alek and the others, and recovered Celeste's entombed body from the ruins of Jebble. Zayne hoped to honot Celeste's wishes that the Oubliette was to be transported to the Sanctum of the Exalted on Odryn.

Inside the Sanctum of the Exalted, Zayne, Marn, and Jarael discovered the amassed horde of Sith artifacts that had been collected by The Covenant. Most of them were preserved in nullification resin to prevent their powers from affecting the other artifacts, while others were taken and researched to discover their powers and weaknesses. Zayne and Marn spent several days cataloguing the trove of artifacts, in the hope of using it to help clear their reputations with the Jedi Council. Before they could make their way back to Coruscant, however, they were captured by the Feeorins, and Zayne was forced to confront Master Feln. The immense Feeorin pummeled Zayne with punches, inflicting pain in retaliation for the death of Raana Tey. Feln might have decapitated Zayne with his lightsaber if Borjak hadn't intervened and invoked the Rime Feeorin. In the brief moment when Feln stood questioning Borjak's insolence, Zayne launched himself at Feln, knocking the Feeorin to the muddy ground and then running into the jungle, where he could fight Feln on more even terms. When Jarael returned to pick up Zayne and Marn, Feln feared that their group would be raiding the Sanctum of the Exalted, and set off a series of explosions that destroyed the Sanctum and the artifacts that had been hidden within.

Zayne feared that the loss of the Sanctum had eliminated any evidence he might have brought to the Jedi Council, and was therefore surprised when Jarael revealed that Del and Dob Moomo had stolen several of the artifacts from the Sanctum during their earlier stay on the planet. With this evidence, and his knowledge of the events on Jebble and Odryn, Zayne decided that it was time to return to Coruscant and present his case to the Jedi Council. He was unaware that Lucien Draay had been appointed to the Council, and had recalled Admiral Saul Karath's fleet of warships to prevent Zayne from reaching the capital world. Zayne found a sympathetic ear when he discovered that Carth Onasi was among the fighter pilots who were protecting Coruscant, and Onasi turned a deaf ear when Karath ordered the capture of the Moomo Williwaw and Zayne headed toward the planet's surface in the Deadweight. However, Jedi Master Xamar saw through the ruse, and followed Zayne to his landing pad on Coruscant. Xamar had already confessed to his part in the Padawan Massacre, in exchange for Lady Krynda Draay's immunity, knowing that there was something more to Lady Krynda's visions of the future. He arranged a quick meeting with Zayne, and provided him with a fake version of the Muur Talisman, inside which Zayne could place his lightsaber. He also gave Zayne a pair of contact lenses that gave his eyes a yellowish glow that appeared to be based on a connection to the Dark Side of the Force.

When he arrived at the Draay Estate, Zayne arrived with fake version of the Muur Talisman clasped at his neck. He was forced to stop at the main gate, but Xamar arranged for a diversion that would bring Lady Krynda outdoors. Although he was stopped by Lucien, Zayne was confronted by the Draay's advisor, Haazen, who saw through the ruse. Haazen then revealed that he had been manipulating the Draay family and the members of the Covenant all along, using the assets of both the Jedi Order and the Draay Trust to fund his own ambition of taking control of the Jedi and the Sith and merging them into a vast army. Lucien was powerless to stop Haazen, and blamed Zayne for not striking him down immediately. Zayne refused to be baited by Lucien, and when Draay drew his lightsaber, Zayne drew his own weapon to defend himself and his friends. Meanwhile, Marn had snuck upstairs and brought Lady Krynda out the oubliette in which she had been placed by Haazen, and she explained to Lucien that he should not have killed the Padawans on Taris. Instead, she had ordered him to bring them to Coruscant, but Lucien tried to explain that his actions had only been meant to carry out what he believed his mother had wanted. Lady Krynda then died in Lucien's arms, and Lucien went into a rage, drawing his lightsaber again and attacking Zayne with a vengeance.

Their battle carried over into the courtyard of the Draay Estate, which had suffered damage when Haazen launched his initial attacks on Coruscant. A statue of Barrison Draay toppled from its base and landed on Lucien, pinning him beneath its weight. Zayne raised his lightsaber in a killed blow, then bowed to Haazen and agreed to join his new army if the bombing of Coruscant was ended. This allowed Zayne to get close enough to Haazen to cut off the Kressh Gauntlet, removing part of Haazen's advantage. Haazen might have still won, but Lucien picked up the gauntlet and used a communication device attached to it to instruct the Republic warships in orbit around Coruscant to fire on the Draay Estate. Haazen was killed in the blast, Zayne and Marn were thrown clear, and Lucien survived only because he was holding the gauntlet. In the wake of these events, the Jedi High Council offered Zayne a promotion to the rank of Jedi Knight, but he turned it down, explaining that he needed to remain loyal to the one being who had stood by him throughout his ordeals. Zayne then rejoined Marn Hierogryph as a full partner in their operations, as well as efforts to make sure that the little people in the galaxy were not left behind as the war ground on.

One of their first jobs was to scam the Metellos Exchange out of the credits that had been collected for the mining rights to the planet Italbos. With Marn posing as Professor Gryphomarn, Jarael posing as Captain Brackel, and Rohlan Dyre posing as a native of Italbos, their plan was to demand that the original auction be voided, so that the natives of Italbos could keep their homeworld or collect the credits from a more legitimate auction. Unfortunately, Marn was recognized by the mastermind behind the Metellos Exchange, Nunk Plaarvin. Jarael and Rohlan were captured, by Zayne arrived just in time to save Marn. With Slyssk's help, they managed to infiltrate Plaarvin's operation and trick the Chevin into believing that Slyssk was a representative of the Raff Syndicate, who had arrived on Metellos 3 to arrest Plaarvin for skimming credits from the syndicate. Jarael and Rohlan managed to escape when Jarael was able to draw upon the Force to break their bonds, and the group was reunited once again. After surviving the machinations of Toki Tollivar, Zayne and his friends traveled to Jervo's World, where Marn had hoped to bilk The Franchise out of some credits. Zayne had grown up watching swoopdueling, and eagerly entered the Tandem Open to live out a childhood dream. The dream was cut short when he met Aubin Kleej, the son of Goethar Kleej, who was entered in the same race. Goethar was under the control of The Franchise, but had made a deal with Bardron to gain freedom for himself and his son if they both won the event. Goethar threatened Zayne, demanding that he do everything possible to make sure Aubin reached the finals.

After surviving the Tandem Open, Zayne and his companions traveled to Wor Tandell, where they hoped to take a break from their schemes. They were intercepted there by Ferroh and Captain Telletoh, who brought word of the Jedi High Council's decision to join the fight against the Mandalorians. Traveling with them was Malak, the Jedi Knight who was once known as Squint. Malak tried to convince Jarael to join the fight, but was opposed by Rohlan. Zayne tried to intervene by drawing Jarael into his arms and kissing her deeply, in an effort to convince both Malak and Rohlan that she was no longer interested in either of them.

Carrier Butterfly
This large, flying insect was native to the planet Maridun. Distinguished by its graceful, colorful wings, the carrier butterfly was quite intelligent for an insect. These insects could imitate certain sounds and vocalizations, which allowed them to communicate with each other. The Lurmen who settled on Maridun discovered this ability to mimic sounds, and used these insects to carry messages back and forth between scouts and their villages. (CWTV14, SWDB)

Carrier-class Starship
A starship armed with 10 twin-laser cannons. (RC)

Carrion Beetle
This was one of the many species of scavenging insects found in the galaxy. (DBPD)

Carrion Deathbird
This avian creature was known for the way it hovered and circled over the dead carcass of another animal, waiting to be sure that no other scavengers were around before settling down to consume the rotting carcass. It was considered bad luck to see a group of these avians circling above one's head. (CN1)

Carrion Fly
This odorous, black insect was one of many carnivorous species which were native to the jungles of Haruun Kal. As its name suggested, the carrion fly preferred to feed on dead flesh, rather than killing its own prey. (SHPT)

Carrion Sector
This area of the galaxy was controlled by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. (RASB)

Carrion Spat
This was a deadly creature native to the planet Corellia. Resembling a two-legged reptile, the carrion spat was a swift-moving creature that could be broken for use as a mount, if an explorer was willing to take the time to tame the animal correctly. Once broken, a carrion spat was an invaluable companion, and its natural tendency to protect itself gave it a nasty edge when confronting another predator. The nose of the carrion spat was protected by a sharp beak, and its tail was a short knob of flesh covered by a multitude of thick, feather-like appendages. (SWI62, SWGAL)

Carrivar
This planet, located in the Unknown Regions, was discovered to have been the original homeworld of the Hemes Arbora race. (FH2)

This was one of the most common Gungan surnames, taking from the father's side of the family. These surnames were not dropped, even after marriage. To the Gungans, it meant "slow-moving river". (GCG)

Carsels, Piknab
This male Gungan left Otoh Gunga and the planet Naboo to seek his own fame and fortune. He never returned to his homeworld, eventually learning how to fly a wide variety of statfighters and starships. For his twenty-sixth birthday, Piknab obtained a loan from Riboga the Hutt and purchased his own starship. He defaulted on a couple of payments, and Riboga's thugs cut off his haillu in order to motivate him to pay off his loan. Piknab then found himself indentured to Riboga, and forced to pilot ships in the Cularin System. Even after Riboga retired to Nal Hutta, Piknab remained on Generius and worked for the gas mining operations there. (LFC)

CarsinShare
This was one of the many corporations which had its headquarters in the Stratablock 7 building of Metellos' Moridebo District, during the height of the New Order. CarsinShare and its rival, Nonsu, were the primary buyers and sellers of business information. They also produced much of the material used to build and maintain the city of Ektra. On the less legitimate side of things, CarsinShare and Nonsu also staged death matches deep in the bowels of Ektra, pitting their champion gladiators against each other in bloody fights to the death. (CCW)

Carson, Farley
This New Republic Navy Commodore was attached to the Fourth Battle Group, in command of the Star Destroyer Yakez. Etahn A'baht considered him as one of his only friends during the Black Fleet Crisis. A'baht called him the nickname "Stony." During the Battle of N'zoth, Carson and the Yakez were caught between two Yevethan T-type warships. The Yakez's bow shields were breached, and subsequent fire from the Yevethan ships ignited the Yakez's weapons hold. The ship was broken in two by the explosion, and all hands were lost. (TT)

Carsunum
This rare, black form of spice was mined on Sevarcos. When consumed, carsunum induced a feeling of euphoria and heightened abilities. When the effects wore off, the user experienced lethargy and listlessness. The spice also had a toxic effect on the user's metabolism, and withdrawal often resulted in death because the body couldn't react fast enough to the change. The Healer's Guild learned that carsunum spice could control and prevent the spread of hive viruses. (SWJ2, TPS)

Carsunum Chariot
This huge wind rider was the personal craft of Lady Trevael, one of the three prominent spice lords who controlled the spice trade on the planet Sevarcos during the height of the New Order. (SWJ2)

Cartann
This Adumari nation was one of the largest and strongest at the time when the New Republic encountered the planet. The perator of the nation, Pekaelic ke Teldan, felt that he could speak for the entire planet during negotiations with the Republic and with the remnants of the Empire, a belief which was endorsed by Tomer Darpen. However, this eventually led to a planetary civil war between Cartann and the Yedagonian Confederacy, a brief struggle which was won by the Yedagons with the help of Wedge Antilles and his pilots. In the wake of the battle, the perator abdicated his throne to his son, who vowed to help Adumar create a fair and representative world government. (SOA)

Cartann Bladedrome
This was the name of one of the two fighter bases located near the city of Cartann, on the planet Adumar. (SOA)

Cartann City
The capital city of the Cartann nation, located on the planet Adumar. The surface of the city was the home of the nobility, while there existed an entirely separate city below-ground. In man-made caverns, vast manufacturing corporations created everything from bombs and blastswords to food and clothing, while the workers who toiled away in the factories lived in turumme warrens. In the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, it was discovered that the Dammant Killers corporation was producing illegal projectile weapons at a facility located beneath the city. The facility was eventually shut down by Jacen Solo and Ben Skywalker. (SOA, LF1)

Cartann Ground Championships
An annual event staged by the perator of Cartann, the Ground Championships pited the best blastswordsmen against each other in duels to the death. The champion was the duelist who survives the final match. (SOA)

Cartann Guard

Cartao
This planet served as a secondary source of clone troopers, during the height of the Clone Wars. The cloning facilities on Cartao were known for several innovations they made on the original cloning technology of the Kaminoans, many of which were used in the development of Spaarti cylinders. Cartao itself was considered one of the largest trade centers of the Prackla Sector of the galaxy, and tried its best to remain neutral during the Clone Wars. (SWDB, SWI68)

Cartao Expeditionary Army
This was the designation of the armed forces which were led by Tok Ashel, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Mission of the Cartao Expeditionary Army was to take control of the planet Cartao, then subdue the leaders of Spaarti Creations without damaging their manufacturing facilities. The hope was that the fluid-technology of the Cranscoc could be retooled to produce D-90 series battle droids. (SWI69)

Cartariun
This mad Devaronian male took control of the planet Malrev shortly after the Battle of Endor. Cartariun was part of a technical team dispatched to Malrev to begin construction of an Imperial outpost on the orders of Emperor Palpatine himself. Palpatine had discovered the Sith temple in the forests of the planet, and wanted to use the temple to augment his own powers. The base was abandoned after the Battle of Endor, but Cartariun remained behind and began studying the ways of the Dark Side of the Force.

As a youth, Cartariun had hidden his powers, hoping to avoid the notice of the Empire. He eventually learned how to control the minds of the Irrukiine, and trained them in elaborate wargames driven only by the power of his mind. When Rogue Squadron landed on Malrev in search of the Starfaring, Cartariun managed to capture Wedge Antilles, but only until the Rogues began battling the Irrukiine. While Cartariun was distracted with the battle, Wedge slipped away and rejoined his squadron. However, the Sullustan Dllr Nep was drawn to Cartariun's power, which he both saw and heard as beautiful music. Many of the Rogues felt Cartariun's power was some way, although most experienced a heightened set of emotions.

Cartariun captured Dllr and used him had a conduit for the power of the Dark Side. Dllr resisted, but was shot and killed by the power-hungry Bothan, Girov Dza'tey. Dza'tey, and expert in the martial art of Jeswandi, then struggled with Cartariun until the Devaronian was kiled by his own Dark Side powers. (XWRR, HXW, OWS)

Cartel Building
This was the name given to the Metatheran Cartel's primary headquarters on Cularin, located in the city of Gadrin during the final years of the Old Republic.

The event coincided with the founding of the so-called Wookiee Liberation Front. (LFCW)

Cartel Central
This was the headquarters building of the Metatheran Cartel, located in the floating city of Joventusek, on the Caarite homeworld of Caarimon. (MCT3)

Carter
An Alliance security officer killed on Talasea when the Rogue Squadron base there was infiltrated by stormtroopers. (XWN)

Carthas
This ancient city, located on the planet Benja-Rihn, was little more than a wasteland during the last decades of the Old Republic. It attracted attention when the Temple of Tet-Ami was discovered among its ruins. In its prime, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Geonosis, Carthas was a wondrous city. It was beset by a swarm of savage beasts, but was saved from destruction by the mysterious Tet-Ami. (T13)

Carto Asteroid Belt
This asteroid belted was "mined" by Drek Drednar, who instructed his pirates to tow asteroids out of the belt and into major pace lanes. The asteroids created gravity shadows in hyperspace, so travelling ships would have to revert to realspace in their vicinity. The pirates would then attack the hapless ships. (SWJ5)

Cartographer

Carud
This Mandalorian word translated into Basic as "smoke." (OWS)

Car'ulorn
This Twi'lek restauranteer owned the Kavsrach restaurant on Corsucant during the height of the New Republic. (IJ)

Carvanium
This metallic element was one of the key components in the manufacture of durasteel, especially the durasteel used in droid plating and superstructure components, during the final decades of the Old Republic. The use of carvanium was often regulated by automated computer systems, because as little as five percent extra added to the mix could weaken the final product, making the durasteel brittle and structurally unsound. Carvanium was found on many worlds, like the former military world of Ord Sigatt. (SWI87, LLOW)

Carved
This was the alias used by Jaina Solo and Jagged Fel to describe Karn Valanti, the man who served as Jag's double whenever the pair needed to spend some quality time alone, out of the view of the media that stalked their every move. Valanti usually accompanied Lina Zev, who served as Jaina's double, and was known as Curved. (FJ2)

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

Carving the Republic: The Real Story of Count Dooku
This book, written by Andevor Javin, was one of the five most popular pieces of literature during the year leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN4)

Carz
This moon orbits a fluorescent blue-and-white gas giant in the Carz System, an unimportant system most often referred to by its galactic coordinates. The smuggling baron Yosger maintained a base on the moon, hidden deep within the rocky crust of the world. The natural ores helped hide the base from sensor scans. (GMH)

Carzyn, Tanner
One of the many gunners who served aboard the FarStar, Tanner joined the crew after roaming the Minos Cluster for much of his life. He claimed that his family had been enslaved by the Empire, and that he was joined the New Republic to exact revenge against Moff Kentor Sarne. However, Carzyn was strongly in support of the former Empire, and was actually a weapons technician for Sarne's forces on Kal'Shebbol. When Sarne fled the planet in the face of a New Republic, Carzyn and his troops were left behind. He joined the crew of the FarStar in order to rejoin Sarne and destroy the ship and its crew. He was arrested shortly after the FarStar entered the Kathol Rift. (DARK, KO, KR)

Cas
This was one of the most common female names given to human children across the galaxy. (GCG)

Casanvine
This plant was native to the planet Ebra, and grows in thick layers atop rocky ground. (GG12)

Cascade
This great, natural cavern found within the rocky mountains of the planet Stronghold was used by Alliance personnel as a hiding place in case of attack. The main chamber was hidden behind a beautiful waterfall, and a large pool of water dominated the center of the chamber. A small shaft in the ceiling allowed some light to penetrate the chamber; the light created a colorful display when it reflected and refracted from the crystals in the chamber walls. (OS2)

Cascade
This was a term used to describe a juggling pattern used during a workout or exercise session. Beings juggled denseplast balls to build up their upper-body strength, and the cascade was considered one of the easiest patterns to master. (DSTR)

Casement
This man worked as a cargo loader on the planet Drunost, during the height of the New Order. Casement and his team were often harassed by the BloodScar pirates, who ambushed shipments to obtain goods for sale on the black market. Casement himself only barely escaped a BloodScar ambush near Ashkas-kov. Unknown to most beings, however, was the fact that Casement and his team were secretly supporting the Alliance, by ensuring that shipments of blasters reached rebel cells throughout the Shelsha Sector. His primary contact in the Alliance was known to him only as Targeter.

The BloodScars picked on the transfer stations on Ranklinge, primarily because security was lax enough that they could get away with most anything. This continued for many months until a group of defecting Imperial stormtroopers landed on Ranklinge to obtain supplies. Led by Daric LaRone, the stormtroopers approached Casement's depot during a BloodScar ambush, and used their own firepower to drive the pirates off. The former Imperials were unaware that they had helped a group of Alliance supporters until they ran into Casement at a bar, where he was meeting with Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca. (A)

Casevac
This was a term used by the Grand Army of the Republic to describe any casualty-evacuation mission. (SWI84)

Casfield 6
This droid-managed world was the site of a six-ship collision. The droids were using simple droid languages to talk to incoming starships, and were passing landing codes to them this way. However, this droid language caused the ships' computers to malfunction, and all control was lost. Among the ships destroyed in the collision was a starship owned by the Offen race, which had just recently begun to experiment with space travel. Their 6,000-year-old Queen was aboard the ship when it was destroyed, and she was killed. (TNR)

Cash Credit
This was a generic term used to describe any form of credit voucher or chip that was not issued by a specific government or financial institution, but retained a specific cash value. These kinds of credits were all but untraceable, since they were not backed by a government or bank, and therefore there was no record of any transactions. (CWNOP)

Cash-cred
This was a form of simple money that was made available to beings during the final decades of the Old Republic. Cash-creds were considered actual money, and could be used to purchase goods and services on any world that was part of the Galactic Republic. Many beings carried cash-creds instead of a credit chip or credit stick, because a stolen credit stick allowed a criminal to access a being's entire account, where cash-creds were only worth their face value. (CWN)

Casin Mak
This was a common name among the Svivreni race. (GORW)

Casino
This was the codename used by Wyl Tarson, during his tenure as an Alliance spy and informant. He used the alias when he infiltrated the information network controlled by Raze, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (SWRMB)

Casino Royale
One of the major casinos operated by the Empire on Vorzyd 5. The Royale was originally established under the direction of the Greyshade family, and was funded by the Old Republic under a deal that was brokered by Simon Greyshade. The entire complex encompassed more than several square kilometers at the center of Efavan, and was composed of gambling halls, restaurants, and various gaming stadiums. It was here that Luke Skywalker was able to hit three consecutive targets playing Cosmic Chance. (CSWEA, GORW)

Casiss
This short-statured Felucian was the leader of a small settlement of farmers who were forced to turn over a portion of their nysillin crop to Hondo Ohnaka and his pirates, during the height of the Clone Wars. Casiss and his fellow Felucians were powerless to stop the pirates from taking the nysillin as protection money, until Sugi and her band of bounty hunters were hired to defend the settlement. This arrangement seemed to work fine, until three Jedi Knights - Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano - crash-landed nearby and were forced to look for a way off Felucia. With the aid of the Jedi, Casiss believed that they could finally drive off the pirates for good. Kenobi feared that their presence on Felucia would bring Separatists to the village, which would cause more trouble for the Felucians, but Skywalker agreed to help the villagers learn how to defend themselves. (CWTV39)

Caske
This Alliance Major was the primary liaison for agents arriving in Tapani Sector during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (LOE)

Caslo, Booldrum
This computer genius - known as a neep - was Gerney Caslo's cousin, and owned one of the largest museums on the planet Nam Chorios. He was a heavy-set man with a strange set of sight-amplification equipment bolted to his head. (POT)

Caslo, Gerney
A settler on the planet Nam Chorios, Gerney was one of the largest water sellers in the Hweg Shul area. He had a knack for getting the old, rusted water pumps - abandonded the by Oldtimers - to gush with water, which allowed the Newcomers to survive in the rocky wastes outside the city. He was also one of Seti Ashgad's strongest supporters, before he learned what Ashgad's true intentions were. When Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa-Solo revealed the treachery of Ashgad, Caslo refused to believe. Rather than hear more of the accusations, he threw a belt of grenades into a Theran gun tower. He was shot and killed in the attempt, but the grenades destroyed the weaponry. (POT)

Casna Aure

Cass
This man served the Empire as an aide to Grand Moff Tarkin, and served aboard the first Death Star during the weeks leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Cass was the aide who announced that Imperial forces had searched the planet Dantooine, but that it was no longer the site of an active Alliance base. This news came after Princess Leia Organa claimed that the Alliance's base was located on Dantooine, in an effort to save her homeworld of Alderaan. (E4N, E4Y)

Cassander
This planet, the primary world in orbit around Cassander's Star, was discovered by the survey droids dispatched into the Outer Rim by Cassander Tadrin, a century before the onset of the Clone Wars. Cassander had been searching for a suitable world to colonize, after growing tired of life in the Core. He spent his huge fortune to arrange for transport to Cassander, bringing with him tens of thousands of loyal employees and their families. Cassander eventually became the capital of the so-called Cassandran Worlds. Decades later, after the Empire split the Cassandran Worlds apart, Cassander became the capital of the Cassander Sector. (GORW)

Cassander House
This mansion, located in the city of Pesktda on Garqi, served as the planetary governor's residence. (GORW)

Cassandran
This was the term used to describe the human settlers and their descendents who lived on the planet Cassander. (GORW)

Cassandran Brandy
This was one of the finest brandies created in the galaxy. Produced on Cassander, it was often quite expensive when purchased off-planet, but its taste made it well-worth the effort and expense. Rivaled only by Savareen Brandy, Cassandran Brandy was consumed according to a set of arcane rules and procedures, which gave the drinkers an air of snobbishness and superiority that put off most casual drinkers. (GG9, GORW, OWS)

Cassandran Choholl
Another of the renowned spirits produced on Cassander, Cassandran Chocoll was considered by many experts to be even than Cassandran Brandy. Cassandran Choholl was created from the fruits and leaves of the hafa vine, which was native to the planet Garqi. (GG9, SWJ7, GORW, OWS)

Cassandran Sectors
This was another name for the Cassandran Worlds, but was used during the era of the New Order after the Cassandran star systems were split into the Cassander, Tadrin, and Tendrannan Sectors. (GORW)

Cassandran Worlds
This was a group of three star clusters that were located in the Outer Rim Territories. The star systems contained within this group produced some of the galaxy's most tasty and powerful liquors. The group of stars was named for Cassander Tadrin, who discovered the world known simply as Cassander, which was located at the heart of the Cassandran Worlds. Over time, more than one hundred star systems were added to the Cassandran Worlds. When the New Order was established throughout the galaxy, the Cassandran Worlds were split apart into three sectors: Cassander Sector, Tadrin Sector, and Tendrannan Sector. Among the planets that made up the Cassandran Worlds were Monhudle, New Bakstre, and Biitu. (GORW, GG9, SWI87)

Cassel, Gil
A native of Bastion, this man served as a Lieutenant in the Imperial armed forces, nearly a century after the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. A grizzled veteran, Cassel was the latest member of his family to enter the military. He was a practical man who understood the place of the military in the new Empire. He served for many years in the 407th Stormtrooper Division, leading several units from the base on Yinchorr. Despite his loyalty, however, Cassel was uncertain how to handle his troops when Darth Krayt forced Emperor Roan Fel into exile and took control of the galaxy - including the Imperial military - in the name of the Sith.

Lieutenant Cassel was known as a daring leader, often commanding his troopers from the front lines of the battle. This style of leadership was generally considered the reason that many of his units, including Joker Squad, saw heavier casualties than most other units.

When Darth Maleval arrived on Yinchorr with orders to take the 407th to Borosk to eliminate the 908th Stormtrooper Division, Cassel found himself at a crossroads. His own brother, Jared, served with the 908th, and Cassel found himself unable to fully carry out Maleval's orders. Rather than executing every last member of the 908th, Cassel proposed a truce, hoping to save Jared and the surviving members of his unit. Maleval would have none of it, and ordered Cassel to kill his brother as a show of loyalty to Darth Krayt's Empire. (SWLN)

Cassel, Jared
This man served the Imperial armed forces on Borosk, where he was a Captain with the 908th Stormtrooper Division, nearly a century after the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. When the 908th decided to defect from its service to Darth Krayt and join the former Emperor, Roan Fel, Cassel was forced to fight with his troops to ensure their freedom. However, the 908th was decimated in attacks by the 407th Stormtrooper Division, which had been dispatched to Borosk under the command of Darth Maleval.

It was Maleval who tracked down Cassel and captured him, bringing him face to face with his brother, Gil, who was a Lieutenant in the 407th. Lord Maleval demanded that Gil show his loyalty to Darth Krayt by executing Jared, a demand that Gil refused to carry out. (SWLN)

Castaan Armory
This small armory produced a number of specialized protective suits, designed to fit the specific physiology of different alienr races. (GUN)

Castell
This planet was the homeworld of the Gossam race. The planet was, at one point, essentially owned by the Commerce Guild, which purchased huge tracts of land and facilities in return for the indentured labor of the Gossam people. The planet was eventually repurchased by Shu Mai, but she kept taxes high in order to maintain strict control of her people. During the height of the Clone Wars, however, the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic were able to regain control of the planet, removing the Separatists from power and forcing Shu Mai to flee to Felucia. (SWDB, ROF)

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

Casti, Lirisa
This Alliance agent worked with a team of soldiers to sabotage Lant Mining Corporation's activities on Demar, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Lirisa herself was targeted for capture by Imperial forces led by Cass Maston, but was eventually rescued. A former employee of LMC, Lirina was a shuttle pilot until her showboating during regular runs earned her too many demerits. Shortly after being fired, she acquired a Ghtroc freighter which she named the Star Trader, and which she fixed up for her missions with the Alliance. She held the rank of Lieutenant at the time of the Battle of Yavin. (FBS)

Castin
This was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Casting
This Hapan mercenary wore a suit of protective armor made by Corondexx. (GUN)

Casting Hawk
Native to the planet Rallitiir, this avian predator was found throughout the planet's ecosystem. A capable hunter with a large capacity for learning, casting hawks were often trained by Ralltiiri nobles to serve as exotic pets. Casting hawks were named for their unusual hunting style. They broke off branches of the liquid thoron trees where they made their nests, using the viscous sap to ensnare their prey. (CCW)

Castle Bocce
A luxurious hotel found on Tatooine, this edifice predated much of Tatooine's current human sttlements. During the later years of the Old Republic, it was lovingly restored to its original beauty, and was now a major tourist attraction. It features a casino, high-class cuisine and accommodations, and ten multi-species immersion pools. (RPG)

Castle Creep
This was a popular childrens' HoloNet series, during the years following the Alliance-Confederation War and the reign of terror of Darth Caedus. (MF)

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

Castle S'Shah
This was the name of King S'Shah's fortress on Serphidi, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (MC64)

Castle, The
This huge, rocky tor was located on the planet Dorvalla, in the Videnda Sector, and was part of the holdings of the Lommite Limited mining corporation shortly before the Battle of Naboo. The Castle was the site of one of LL's largest mines, and was distinguished by the towers of stone which dominated its western and southern faces. The Castle was destroyed by InterGalactic Ores shortly before the Battle of Naboo, in its continuing effort to drive LL out of business. IGO managed to acquire the access codes to the guidance droids on LL's ore shuttles, and caused two of them to crash into The Castle, setting off a chain of devastating explosions. (DMS)

Casualty Visiting Officer
This was one of the hardest roles in the Galactic Alliance military. Casualty Visiting Officers, also known as CVOs, were those officers who traveled to the families of those personnel who were killed in the line of duty, to bring word of their deaths. (LF8)

Casuistic
This freighter was commandeered by the former Jedi Padawan Ekria, during the early months of the New Order. (EAEG)

Cat
This was a slang term used by the human members of the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe a member of the Orryxian race. Although there was no malice in the term, many Orryxians objected to its use. (GG9)

Cataalda
Located in the Mid Rim, this remote planet was the site of an Alliance base, about a year before the Battle of Hoth. Orbited by a single moon, Cataalda was covered with green oceans that surrounded mountainous chains of islands. The Alliance personnel was forced to evacuate the base when an Imperial patrol happened upon the planet, although several operatives still in the field were not aware of the evacuation. Among those personnel were Leia Organa and Han Solo, who were supposed to return to the base with data they had recovered from Fallowan. The base personnel left behind encoded messages that explained the situation and ordered any stragglers to meet at a pre-arranged alternate location. (PLRR)

Cataclysm Prism 4
This was one of the worst holofilms of the Old Republic, produced in the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN4)

Catacombs, The
This collection of dark caves was located along the cliffs that formed the eastern border of Makrin City, on the planet Shelkonwa. These caves served as hiding places for criminals and exiles. By the time of the Battle of Yavin, however, the Catacombs became homes for the displaced Adarians who were forced into obscurity and servitude by the Empire. (A)

Catalog Nineteen
This Imperial document was a comprehensive listing of the various artifacts and esoteric items that had become the proper of the Empire, in the wake of the Clone Wars. Everything from gemstones to statuettes and other items that were provided as gifts to the Empire was documented in Catalog Nineteen, so that proper taxation records and proof of ownership were maintained and preserved. Each record in Catalog Nineteen described the current resting place of the item being described, so that researchers could locate the item if needed. (CN1)

Catalog of Intelligent Life in the Galaxy
This reference work was commissioned by Darth Vader, and was written in two editions by Obo Rin. (GG4)

Catamite
This was a small, timid creature. (POT)

Catarlo Sector
This area of the galaxy, which contained the planet Cadomai Prime, was located in the Outer Rim Territories near the Corporate Sector. (GG12)

Catastrophe Corps
This agency was formed by the government of the planet Riflor, to respond to the multitude of natural disasters that regularly caused damage to Advozsec civilization. The members of the Catastrophe Corps were known for their fanatic, almost religious dedication to their jobs. Although ostensibly independent of any governmental body, the Catastrophe Corps often acted on the directions of other leaders. A few times in Riflor's history, the Catastrophe Corps actually assumed control of Riflor themselves, although many Advozsec described such actions as necessary ways to control the population during exceptionally hard calamity seasons. (GMR4)

Catch
see Toughcatch (DTO)

Catchhawks
This was the codename used by Uldir Lochett and his crew to describe themselves whenever they were operating in the field. Lochett himself was designated Catchhawk One. (EOV, GMR9)

Catching the Wind
This phrase, used on the planet Sevarcos, was used to describe the euphoric sensation experienced when an offworlder first took a breath of the spice-laden air of the open desert. (SWJ2)

Catchment Arc
This was a vital piece of the Ssi-ruuvi entechment technology. The catchment arc was a piece of circuitry which could be attuned to the internal magnetization of the subject under entechment. When a magnetic field was passed through the subject, it activated a magentic solution in the subject's nervous system and forced the subject's life-energy to jump across the catchment arc and into a storage battery. (TB, TBSB)

Cathacatin
This Paqwe was the last crewmember of the Mother's Valkyrie to abandon the ship on Coruscant and flee back to Paqwepori, following the disgrace of the ship at the hands of Nil Spaar. Cathacatin was a licensed breeder-keeper of toko birds. (TT)

Cathar
A sentient race of feline humanoids, the Cathar were native to the planet with the same name. The males had full manes and two long, pointed teeth that extended downward from their upper jaw. The females also had a flowing mane, but lacked the male's fangs. Individual variations among the two subspecies of Cathar - the Juhani and Myr Rho - were also noted, with both subspecies being described as less feline than the baseline Cathar stock. As a people, the Cathar were known for their ferocious nature and their respect for their elders. Each Cathar clan was ruled by its eldest members, and revered its warriors, who protected their clan against attacks by the kiltik that were also native to Cathar. Cathar couples mated for life, and often would not take another mate if their chosen mate died.

The Cathar were nearly exterminated during the Mandalorian Wars, when Cassus Fett led a devastating attack on the planet Cathar. Many Cathar were taken and sold into slavery, although males were eventually deemed too violent to make good slaves. A number of Cathar managed to escape from their captors, and established settlements on other worlds. These survivors kept the race alive. The near-destruction of the Cathar led the Jedi Knights to join the fight against the Mandalorians, and many notable Cathar served as Jedi Knights during the millennia that followed. Over time, the surviving Cathar returned to their homeworld and re-established their populations there. (DLS, NECH, PH)

Cathar
The home planet of the Cathar race, Cathar was dominated by vast, rolling plains and dense forests. Two shallow seas and many lakes and rivers made up the planet's primary water supply. The plains were the home of a species of gigantic insects known as the kiltik, while the trees were carved into cities by the native Cathar. The bark of these city-trees was carved with intricate bas-relief sculptures that described the hhistory of the clans that lived in the tree. During the height of the Mandalorian Wars, Cathar was attacked by a force of warriors led by Cassus Fett, who was on a mission to avenge an earlier defeat at the hands of Cathar warriors. The planet was devastated in the attacks, during which Fett ordered his warship to incinerate entire villages from low orbit, and the Cathar race was nearly exterminated. (DLS, PJSB, NECH, PH, KOR14)

Catharese
This was the native language of the Cathar race. (PJSB)

Catharius, Quaal Tavier
This Bitthaevrian was the thirty-first leader of the m'Yalfor'ac Order, serving as its leader during the height of the New Order. He was one of the most famous heroes of the Bitthaevrian people, mainly for his prowess in battle, but also for his anti-Republic rhetoric. With the advent of the New Order, Tavier recognized that the Empire was corrupt and wicked, but it was also the lesser of two evils, and was better than the Old Republic. (AIR, SWJ15)

Cathea
One of the Corellian orphans rescued from Ylesia by Han Solo and Chewbacca, she was a young teenager. (RD)

Cathedral of Shade
This was the name given to the various temples and ruins used by the Kluuzot, deep in the Black Jungle of Krann. (TSK)

Cathedral of Winds
This tall, ethereal castle was constructed by the Vors on their hoemworld of Vortex. The Cathedral was made of incredibly thin crystalline structures that resembled delicate pipes and passageways, but it was built to withstand the rising hurricane winds that swept the planet on an annual basis. When the winds struck the Cathedral, it would whistle through thousands of holes and through complex tunnel, creating an ever-changing musical experience called the Concert of the Winds. The Vors themselves flew around the Cathedral, opening and closing access to various chambers to alter and change the music. When Emperor Palpatine instituted the New Order, the Vors shut the windows and holes in the Cathedral of Winds, shutting down its music in protest of his subjugation of the galaxy. The Cathedral was reopened in the wake of the Battle of Endor, but the Vors chose not to pursue membership in the New Republic. About seven years after the Battle of Endor, the Cathedral was destroyed when Admiral Ackbar escorted Leia Organa Solo to Vortex in his personal B-Wing starship, as part of a diplomatic mission to Vortex. Unknown to both Ackbar and Leia, the ship had been sabotaged by Terpfen, and Ackbar was unable to properly land the vessel. It crashed into the Cathedral, utterly shattering it and killing 358 Vors in the collapse. The noise created by the combination of shattering crystal and screaming Vors provided a stark counterpoint to the normally-wondrous music of the Cathedral. The Vors stoically set about to repairing the Catherdeal, neither acknowledging or preventing the New Republic's assistance. However, the Vors cut off all access to the Cathedral by offworlders during the reconstruction, in an effort to preserve the structure. When the structure had finally been rebuilt, it looked nothing like the original, as the Vors simply built the Cathedral according to their current relationship with the planet Vortex. (DA, COTF, EGP)

A region of Ithor in which the Bafforr trees grow in huge numbers, creating a sentient forest. Alima destroyed the forests in trying to get Momaw Nadon to reveal the secrets of Ithorian technology. (TME)

Cathorn
This Charon bio-construct was created from a large, cat-like creature which lived on the Charon homeworld. The original creature had strange armor-like skin, a feature which was transferred to the cathorn. In addition to its armor plating, the cathorn also had the spiked tail of an Ithorian barbed flyer grafted to its body. The barbed flyer was captured from a starship lost in Otherspace. Like most Charon constructs, the cathorn had incredible leaping ability. (OS)

Catier Walkway
This was a noted walkway found on the planet Coruscant during the early decades of the New Republic. It was a shopping gallery which was filled with all manner of shops and merchants. However, when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked and captured Coruscant, much of the Catier Walkway was destroyed or looted. (EL2)

Catnot
This was a slang term used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe the planet Kashyyyk. It was a shortened form of "categorically not," referring to the fact that the Wookiees of Kashyyyk refused to back down from a challenge. (GG9)

Cato Neimoidia
This was the oldest and most exclusive of the primary Neimoidian purse-worlds. Much of its underground network of caverns and tunnels was set aside for securing the amassed treasure troves of the wealthy Neimoidians who lived on the planet. Towers and skyscrapers were erected on swaying bridges that connecting the buildings to the mouths of various caverns and caves, thereby ensuring that the Neimoidian inhabitants were never very far from their riches. After the onset of the Clone Wars, however, Cato Neimoidia became a stronghold of the Neimoidian elite. Weapons emplacements were added to much of the architecture, and legions of battle droids were stationed alongside the Neimoidian Home Defense Legions to ensure the safety of the planet's inhabitants. During the height of the Clone Wars, however, the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic were able to regain control of the planet, removing the Separatist Neimoidians from power. Note that The Art of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith indicates that Cato Neimoidia was the homeworld of the Neimoidians, not just a purse-world. (SWI71, ROF, E3A, SWDB)

Caton
This Imperial officer was the commander in charge of the Selnesh prison colony when Haslam and his team infiltrated the prison to rescue Gebnerret Vibrion, sometime during the Galactic Civil War. (TFE, OWS)

Cattamascar
The planet near which the Ssi-ruuk had to perform an emergency re-orientation of the Shriwirr prior to entering the Bakura system. (TB)

Cattarash
This species of lime-green mushroom was grown on the planet Gandle Ott. Individual cattarash mushrooms grew to over a meter inheight, with a thin stalk and small cap. The natives of Gandle Ott used these mushrooms in a variety of ways, including the brewing of a fragrant tea. These mushrooms were so important to the culture and economy of Gandle Ott that an annual Mushroom Cutting festival was held each year. (DARK)

Cattena Squadron
Brenn and Dellis Tantor shadowed this stormtrooper squadron for several months before they were made "honorary" members of the team. The original members bristled at this unorthodox appointment, and never fully accepted the brothers. However, after being dispatched to Kalaan to subdue a rebellious cell, the squadron's commanding officer and Dellis Tantor were killed in battle. Brenn Tantor was promoted to Lieutenant in the field, and given command of Cattena Squadron. (FC)

Catuman

This Jedi Master served as one of the many physicians who worked at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the height of the Clone Wars. (YDR)

Cauldron
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer was under the command of then-Captain Harsh, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GMR6)

Cauldron Nebula
This nebula of specific gases was located near the planet Eol Sha. When the planet was settled, it was believed that the nebula could be mined for various gases by the inhabitants of Eol Sha. However, the unremarkable gases found in the nebula made the mining operation only marginally profitable, and the endeavor was soon abandoned. The nebula was believed to have formed during the death of seven nearby stars, all going supernova at about the same time. During the early years of the New Republic, the Cauldron Nebula served as the hiding place of Admiral Daala's forces, following her run-in with Moruth Doole's Kessel-based navy. She planned to launch a suicide attack on the planet Coruscant, but was trapped near the nebula when Kyp Durron intercepted her. Kyp was flying the Sun Crusher at the time, and launched a series of seven resonance torpedo into the heart of the nebula. The weapons struck the collapsed cores of the original seven stars that formed the nebula, creating an immense explosion that ripped the Cauldron Nebula apart and nearly destroyed Admiral Daala. (JS, DA, SA)

Cauldron, The
This huge, natural crater served as the location for the largest of the gladiator pits used by the Rattataki warlords to stage their Blood Sports. Considered a place of neutral ground among the various tribes, the Cauldron became the site of the most prestigious of all gladiator events. It was here that Asajj Ventress defeated all her opoonents and won the attention of Count Dooku, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. (SWDB)

Cavaaks
This independent scout had met up with a few too many hostile alien races in his time. (GG8)

Cavaellin Creams
These spiced candies were the basis for many gourmet desserts, during the height of the New Order. (GFT, SWG2P)

Cavalcade
This modified HT-2200 freighter was one of the many ships that were owned by the BloodScar Pirates, during the height of the New Order. Commanded by Captain Shakko, the Cavalcade was making a regular run to Crovna when it was infiltrated by the Emperor's Hand, Mara Jade. Jade had been investigating Moff Glovstoak, and the trail led her to the BloodScars. After she was discovered by the crew, she was forced to shoot her way free, killing Captain Shakko in the process.

With the help of Tannis, Jade commandeered the Cavalcade and used it to reach the Reprisal, where hse turned the ship over to the Imperial authorities before she set out to continue her investigation. (A)

Cave City
Located on the moon of Rennokk, this cave was originally discovered by Reidi Artom during her search of the Cularin System. She left Rennokk more or less untouched, not seeing any value in the molten surface of the moon. However, a group of explorers returned to Rennokk many decades later, and they found that the deeper levels of the cave housed the remnants of an ancient civilization. Only one member of the expedition survived, a Tarasin named Kum'Jushkin, who told stories of a great lava worm which devoured the exploration team soon after their discovery. No one had returned to Rennokk since then. (LFC)

Cave Crawler
This was another name for the keejin. (COG)

Cave Mynock
see Vynock (RNTB)

Cave of Memory
This was one of the forty-two caves and chambers set aside for religious devotion inside Inicus Mont, on the planet Mina.

Cave of the Blade
This was one of the forty-two caves and chambers set aside for religious devotion inside Inicus Mont, on the planet Mina. The Vashan swordsbeings who protected their people traveled to this cave to pray with the bodhis who honored the traditions of combat. It was in the Cave of the Blade that the swords of fallen Vashan heroes were preserved. (GMR9)

Cave of the Elders
This was the name used to describe the unusual, miniature version of the StarCave that was contained within the boundaries of the ThonBoka. Measuring twenty kilometers in diameter, the Cave of the Elders was created by the native Oswaft from the atomic elements and molecules they consumed. Unlike the rest of the ThonBoka, the Cave of the Elders was a solid structure, composed entirely of crystalline refuse the Oswaft exuded as part of their normal metabolism. During the early years of the New Order, Lando Calrissian discovered that the crystals of the Cave were among the purest forms of the galaxy's most valuabel gemstones, making the Cave ostensibly worth billions of credits. The Elders of the Oswaft used the Cave as their primary meeting place. (LCS)

Cave of the Image
This was one of the forty-two caves and chambers set aside for religious devotion inside Inicus Mont, on the planet Mina. It was in this cave that the Vashan bodhis preserved the most precious and sacred artifacts, protecting them from thieves. (GMR9)

Caveel
This was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)

Caveel, Spinda
This rogue scientist was known for his unusual experiments. He was best known for stealing the ideas of others and modifying them for his own use. He set up a base on the planet Murninkam, far from prying eyes. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Caveel stole the droid AOI-C - also known as Doc - from Massad Thrumble. He hoped to use the droid's abilities to create an army of warrior-droids in order to subdue his enemies and gather control of the criminal underworld. However, his plans were thwarted when Guri - at the request of Trumble - immobilized the Pike sisters and rescued Doc. Thrumble didn't give up, and developed a new plan that involved the Pike Sisters capturing Doc and Guri's head, then using the parts to build a better automata. They tracked Guri back to Hurd's Moon, but were caught in the cross-fire between Savan's forces, Alliance forces, and Thrumble's improved defenses. The Pike sisters backed out of the deal, but Caveel threatened to kill them. As he tried to shoot them, the Pike sisters drew their weapons faster. Caveel was shot and killed. (SEE)

Cavehopper
This man-sized amphibian made its home in the caves that were found beneath the surface of the planet Lamaredd. A cavehopper resembled a bizarre cross between a toad and a crocodile, with the body resembling that of a huge toad and the head being dominated by a toothy maw. After the Outer Rim Oreworks corporation began mining Lamaredd, cavehoppers took to living in the mines, where they became a danger to the miners. The advent of automated mining on Lamaredd meant that no beings were hurt or killed by the cavehoppers, but the reptiles continued to take up residence in the mines. (GMR7)

Cavellian Cream
Known as "the little food that could," Cavellian Creams were known to provide a quick burst of energy to those who consumed them. (SWGAL)

Caver
This creature was native to the planet Glottal. Its eggs were eaten by the Glottalphibs. (TNR)

Cavern Beast
This unusual creature evolved on Coruscant, after the Yuuzhan Vong began to reform the planet into a simulation of their long-lost homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar. It grew in the deepest parts of the changing cityscape, where there was the largest concentration of non-Yuuzhan Vong beings still living on the planet. In many respects, the cavern beast was a huge form of worm or snake that used a telepathic lure to draw beings into its huge mouth. The mouth was virtually indistinguishable from a lichen-covered orifice, and the projected image of a being in trouble was implanted into the mind of any being who walked near the beast's lair. Once a being was far enough inside the cavern beast, it was herded by parastaltic contractions into specialized stomachs for holding. The beings who were herded into the cavern beast's many stomachs were not immediately digested, but allowed to live and congregate. The cavern beast was able to provide food for its captives by excreting a fatty substance into stalactite-like formations, which were edible and nutritious. In return, the cavern beast obtained nutrients and elements from the wastes of its captives. The collective body heat of its captives even helped the cavern beast maintain its internal temperature. When increased food intake was needed, the cavern beast used its strange form of parastalsis to herd a being into a digestive chamber, where it was quickly assimmilated into the cavern beast's system. (T)

Cavern Creeper
This subspecies of merek lived in the subterranean caves and tunnels of the Forest Moon of Endor. (SWG2P)

Cavern Fever
This mild form of fever was common among Twi'lek children, who spent a large portion of their childhood in underground cities on the dark side of Ryloth. (DSTR)

Cavern of the Shadow Throne
Carved from the surrounding obsidian and meltmassif, this underground chamber was located on the planet Mindor. It was here that Lord Shadowspawn placed the Shadow Throne, suspended above a pool of lava. The Cavern of the Shadow Throne was lit by the lava that flow from a natural tube and fell to the pool below, creating a cascade of molten rock that backlit the throne itself, giving Shadowspawn the appearance of sitting in fire. The heat and lava were contained by special force fields, protecting any beings who were inside the chamber from harm. (LSSM)

Cavern Spider
This was a generic term used to describe several species of cave-swelling spiders that were native to the planet Dathomir, such as the gaping spider. These arachnids were distinguished by their ability to create hidden nests where they stored prey that had been captured alive, to be consumed at a later time when the spider became hungry. (GQRG, RF4)

Cavernhorn
This horn, often made from krrin-oak, produced deep, bass tones that many considered oily in their resonance. (E3N)

Cavern's Delight
This was one of the many attractions found at Aucellis Park, on the moon of Keriba VI, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Riders sit in speciallized hovercars that move them through a series of subterranean caverns. It was also one of the fastest and most thrilling rides in the park. Unknown to its riders, the Cavern's Delight was also the entrance to the Imperial reconditioning facility found beneath Aucellis Park. (WOA27)

Caverns of Drall
This was the stylized name used to describe the network of tunnels and caverns that were found beneath the surface of the planet Drall. Most of these caves were used a living quarters for Drall workers, while others were set aside for growing fungus and other plantlife necessary to the Drall diet. Deep beneath the surface, near the Boiling Sea, was the location of the planetary repulsor of Drall. (CCW)

Caverns of the Hidden One
This was the secret name used to describe the hidden collection of caves and tunnels that were carved from the crust of the planet Dorin, during the years following the end of the Clone Wars. Baran Do Sages recognized that their knowledge of the Force - gathered over the millennia - might become a threat to Emperor Palpatine, and so they built the Caverns of the Hidden One as a repository for this knowledge. The Hidden One served as the leader of the enclave, guiding their activities in preserving their knowledge. Hidden deep underground, the caverns would be safe if Imperial forces ever tried to attack the planet Dorin. The Hidden Ones and their followers believed that these caverns and the knowledge they contained were the seed of their order, a seed that "needed to take root if the Order itself dies." Access to the Caverns of the Hidden One was possible via two paths. The primary access was along a one-way rail system that connected a secret chamber on the surface with the caverns. Each Kel Dor who pledged to protect the knowledge of the Baran Do made the journey in a capsule-like rail car, spending more than two hours in transit. Once in the caverns, each Kel Dor was forced to carve out their own living space from the surrounding rock, a task that gave them purpose while protecting the storage systems that held the Baran Do knowledge. The Baran Do Sages, as well as the servants who lived and worked in the caverns, abided by a philosophy was stated "As in life, so in death." This meant that each individual could not rise above the position they occupied on the surface, so servants were forced to remain servants, even if they showed some aptitude to become a Sage. Unknown to all but the Hidden Ones and their closest advisors, an emergency access had also been carved into the rock, which would allow the fifty or so Baran Do Sages who lived in the caverns to escape, should the caverns ever be discovered. To further ensure the secrecy of the caverns, communications with the outside world were disrupted by some sort of jamming, which may have been caused by the surrounding rock and stone, or created by the Baran Do themselves. (FJ1)

Caves of Corips
This natural wonder was a huge series of underground caverns and tunnels. Grand Moff Tarkin once likened the interior of the first Death Star to these caves. (DSTC)

Caves of Eleuabad
Located in the porous rock below the surface of Naboo, this watery system of caves was notorious for its population of sando aqua monsters. It was located just outside the city of Theed. (IWE1)

Caves of Ilum
see Crystal Cave (LJ2)

Caves of Masposhani
Beldorian was placed deep in these underground caverns without light, during his Jedi training. The exercise was designed to force young students to rely on the Force, rather than sight, in order to find their way out. (POT)

Caves of Ss'laath
This natural network of underground caverns and tunnels was located on the planet Lwhekk. (EGP)

Cavisek
This was the name of a noted Selonian individual. (UANT)

Cavrilhu Pirates
This group of marauders wreaked havoc in the Amorris system during the early years of the New Republic. They were led by Captain Zothip, who manages their operations from the Void Cutter. They maintained several bases in the area, including a base deep in the Kauron asteroid belt. This base was compromised and abandoned about ten years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, when Luke Skywalker went in search of the clones being used by Zothip. (DFR, DFRSB, SOP)

Cav'Saran
This man served as the Patroller Chief of the Janusar spaceport, on the planet Ranklinge, during the height of the New Order. As corrupt an official as there ever was, Cav'Saran regarded the townspeople and his indentured servants, and kept a tight rein on all their activities. Regular and continued pleas for intervention from the townspeople were met with deaf ears in the planetary government, allowing Cav'Saran and his men to maintain their control of Janusar. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, Cav'Saran took total control of the town, including its communications system, and prevented any further messages from reaching Ranklinge City.

To further strengthen his position, Cav'Saran ordered all citizens of Janusar to turn over their weapons. A house-to-house search ensured that no resistance to his leadership was possible. That all changed, however, when Daric LaRone and his fellow stormtroopers arrived on Ranklinge, just after the Battle of Yavin. The former Imperials led a group of townspeople to the steps of the Patroller Central building and demanded that Cav'Saran surrender. Cav'Saran and his men refused, and Whisteer tried to pull out his blaster. Korlo Brightwater shot Whisteer dead, forcing Cav'Saran into action. He grabbed the nearest man and tried to use him as a shield to fire his own weapon, but LaRone was too good a shot to fall for the move. LaRone shot Cav'Saran in the head, killing him instantly.

During their investigation of Cav'Saran's operation, the town's reinstated police officers discovered that Cav'Saran was linked to the BloodScar Pirates. (A)

Cavv, Cryle
This man was in his late forties at the time of the Battle of Hoth. Known as an accomplished thief, Cavv supposedly studied the use of the Force under the Jedi Master Yoda. He was also a member of the Alliance, and a personal friend of Airen Cracken, having served under Cracken during the early years of the Galactic Civil War as a member of Cracken's Crew. A native of Ryvellia, Cryle and his team returned to the planet shortly after it was destroyed by the Empire. Cavv lost most of his family, except for his nephew, Sienn Sconn. It was Cavv, drawing from Yoda's teachings, who spent a great deal of time with Sconn. Cavv's lessons to Sconn included keeping Sconn's thoughts on the present and the job at hand, rather than dreaming about the future. Cracken later called on Cavv to help extract Rivoche Tarkin from Imperial-held space, with the assistance of Quillin Arkell. Later, Cracken hired Cryle and Sienn as the first members of the New Republic Special Acquisitions Unit, and asked them to steal the Super-class Star Destroyer Guardian. Cryle jumped at the chance, and managed to convince the crew of the huge ship to mutiny against Admiral Drommel and surrender to the Republic. General Cracken once said of Cryle, "For someone who talks so much, it's amazing how little gets said." (SWJ5, SWJ9, SWJ12, SWJ15)

Cavv, Rannah
This young woman was Cryle Cavv's daughter. She and her mother, Tascin, were killed when the Empire attacked Ryvellia, shortly before the Battle of Hoth. (SWJ12)

Cavv, Tascin
This woman was Cryle Cavv's wife. She and their daughter Rannah were killed when the Empire attacked Ryvellia, shortly before the Battle of Hoth. (SWJ12)

Cavva
This name was commonly given to Quarren males, and meant "articulate". (GCG)

CAVw PK-10
see CAVw PX-10. (HR)

CAVw PX-10
Nen-Carvon's compact assault vehicle (CAV), the PX-10 was built for the Empire to help extend its domination without spreading its manpower too thin. With the PX-10, a single stormtrooper can operate with the firepower of an entire squad. Like the HAVw A5 heavy ground assault vehicle, the PX-10 doesn't have repulsorlifts to move it about. Instead, it relies on two heavy-duty treads driven by five pairs of wheels. The PX-10 was designed to give a single trooper enough firepower to control a large territory. The primary rule of combat for this trooper was to stay within the vehicle; it's that powerful. (DFR, ISB)

Cawa
This Quarren was an expert in the science of water purification, and was a member of the team assembled by the New Republic to help restore the natural environment of the planet Duro. The work took place at the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, so the New Republic had brokeered a deal with the Duros High House in which refugees were allowed to live on the surface in contained domes. The refugees, in return for their lodgings, were assigned specific tasks to help the assembled scientists in their work. Cawa was continually at odds with Sidris Kolb, as the meteorologist's cloud-seeding program brought acid rain and other particulates back into the water supply, inadvertently sabotaging Cawa's own work. (BP)

Cayan Club
This was one of the most exclusive of the officers' clubs that were made available to the personnel of the Galactic Alliance military, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Cayan Club was very exclusive, and only the highest-ranking officers and their guests were allowed entrance. (LF2)

Cayble, Tolamyn
This Imperial Security agent patrolled the Elrood Sector during the height of the New Order. He was responsible for the capture of Shondra Del, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, an action which was capable because Cayble had obtained information from his vast network of informants and spies. However, he often relied too heavily on the information he received, and was often misled by false information provided by the Friends of Paran. After Del escaped from the Arena of Games on Derilyn, Cayble spent every effort trying to recapture her and bring down the resistance in Elrood Sector. (OE)

Cayr, Telsij
This blond-haired woman served as a Y-Wing pilot in the Aggressor Wing, under the command of Colonel Horton Salm, during the initial strikes by the New Republic against the planet of Brentaal. She was shot down by Soontir Fel while trying to herd off the transport ships evacuating Imperials from the planet, but she was rescued and treated. However, her gunner, Kin Kian, was killed in the crash. Cayr suffered the partial loss of her left leg, and needed her left eye replaced with a cybernetic implant, but she vowed to return to her duties as a pilot. When she learned that Fel had joined the New Republic, she was initially upset, but she soon realized that anybody who joined the Republic was a comrade. She told Fel personally that she would fly with him, if given the chance. (XWES, XWMR)

Cay's Dream
This starship was owned by Ulic Qel-Droma several years after the Great Sith War. Named for the brother he killed while under the spell of the Dark Side energies of the Sith, Cay's Dream took Ulic back to Yavin 4 to view the devastation there. (TSW)

Caz Ocean
This was one of the two major bodies of water found on Lazerian IV. (TSK)

Cazne
A common name given to Twi'lek males, this name meant "fortress" or "castle". (GCG)

Cazne
This was an area of cratered flatlands that was located near the city of Lessu, on the planet Ryloth. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Separatist forces wiped out a small army of Twi'lek resistance fighters on the Cazne plains. (CWTV21)

Cazne'olan
This Twi'lek was one of the leaders of the Olan clan. A corpulent male, he was a contemporary of Nawara Ven and Koh'shak, but wasn't quite as obese as Koh'shak. He despised what his relative Firith Olan had become, but was not above forcing Wedge Antilles to battle Sixtus Quin and Septaas for information on Firith's whereabouts during the search for Eidolon Base. However, Cazne'olan showed that he believed crime didn't pay - either for Firith or the Empire - by staging the battle in a virtual world, in which all parties were consumed in a firestorm. (XWBT, KT)

CB-2B
A series of maintenance droids. (CCC)

C-B3
This was the official designation of the Cortosis Battle Droid that was produced by Baktoid Combat Automata for the droid armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. (NEGD)

CB-3D
This astromech droid accompanied Flynn Kybo during his search for General Grievous, during the height of the Clone Wars. (SWGG)

CB-6
This entry-level starship booster system was produced by Kuat Systems Engineering, during the early years of the New Order. Several versions of the CB-6 booster were produced, with different levels of power output. (SWG2P)

CB-99
An old, battered, cylindrical droid which Jabba the Hutt used to store his will, just before he died. He was hidden in a secret room that only Jabba and his father, Zorba, knew about. (ZHR)

C'bal
A native of Esseles, this independent spacer witnessed a Hutt crimelord assassinating a rival by telling an explosive-filled EG-6 power droid to walk off a catwalk, just as the rival passed below. (FTD)

C'baoth, Jorus
This Jedi Master was born on the planet Bortras, many decades before the onset of the Clone Wars. He graduated from Mirnic University, and attended the Jedi Training center on Kamparas before coming under the tutelage of an unknown Jedi Master. After a total of four years of training, Jorus was eleveted to the rank of Jedi Knight. Twelve years later, he became a Jedi Master. He served the Old Republic in a number of ways, most notably as a negotiator and mediator for many of the galaxy's racial conflicts. Despite his successes, however, many questioned C'baoth's actions and motivations, as he usually brow-beat the beings he was working with. Over time, he became a vocal proponent of the belief that the Jedi Knights should not be passive protectors of the galaxy, instead claiming that their connection to the Force made them better than the general populace. Because a Jedi was attuned to the Force, he reasoned, only a Jedi could truly understand what was right and what was wrong, and the Jedi should therefore be given more judiciary power. His views were not supported by many members of the Jedi Council, yet his ability to bring two groups to a common agreement allowed C'baoth to continue to represent the Jedi throughout the galaxy. He was also instrumental in the development and implementation of the Outbound Flight project, which he pushed through the Galactic Senate after he saved Passel Argente and the leaders of the Brolfi government from an assassination attempt, some five years after the Battle of Naboo. With his funding secured, C'baoth set out to search the Unknown Regions for other races, and then attempt to cross the gulf between galaxies. He also hoped to locate the missing Jedi Master, Vergere. Just prior to launch, he elevated his own Padawan, Lorana Jinzler, to the rank of Jedi Knight, thereby freeing himself to train other students during the mission. However, he arranged for Lorana to accompany him aboard Outbound Flight, much to her dismay. Lorana became increasingly dismayed as C'baoth took more and more control over Outbound Flight's operations. Where he seemed initially content to trail the Jedi aboard the ships, C'baoth quickly began segregating the civilian population by their ability to touch the Force. He then arranged for Force-sensitive individuals to begin Jedi training, despite their age. This angered the parents, who suddenly found themselves cut off from their children. The civilian anger only increased when C'baoth demanded that the Jedi on Outbound Flight understand all shipboard systems, including navigation and weapons. His argument was that he had foreseen a dark time, when the Jedi would be forced to take up arms against a "great threat" to the Republic. Behind C'baoth's back, several disgruntled workers began gathering together and plotting ways to take back control of Outbound Flight and their lives. C'baoth seemed unaware of any dissent, but he had been sensing it through the Force for some time. Just before Outbound Flight was intercepted by Field Commander Thrawn of the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet, C'baoth exposed the civilian rebellion and ordered Jinzler to lock the leaders up in the central core of Outbound Flight. As Thrawn's forces attacked Outbound Flight, C'baoth ordered his Jedi to man the weapons stations and fight back. This precipitated C'baoth's fall to the Dark Side of the Force, which was culminated when he made one last-ditch effort to destroy Thrawn. Reaching out with the Force, C'baoth tried to strangle Thrawn aboard the Springhawk, thereby completing his fall to the Dark Side. However, C'baoth was unprepared for Thrawn's tactics. Although C'baoth survived the initial attacks, C'baoth was killed when Thrawn used radiation bombs on the six Dreadnaughts of Outbound Flight. Unknown to the rest of the galaxy, Chancellor Palpatine had secretly arranged to have some of C'baoth's genetic material acquired, as part of a seemingly routine medical analysis performed on all personnel assigned to Outbound Flight. A clone of C'baoth was created sometime after the Clone Wars, in one of Palpatine's first attempts to bring a Force-sensitive clone to maturity. Because the C'baoth clone, known as Joruus, was brought to maturity in less than a full year, the clone was highly unstable. It did, however, retain its use of the Force, and Palpatine trained it in the use of the Dark Side of the Force. (HTTE, DFR, OF)

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

CBell-1
This was considered to be the first talking droid ever produced in the known galaxy. It employed a language that was made up from two distinct sounds, one for "yes" and the other for "no." This allowed the CBell-1 to interact with its surroundings, provided that organic beings near it asked the appropriate questions. (GPB)

C-board
This was a generic term that was used to describe any electronic or computer board. (TFE)

C'borp
A large, orange alien working for Finhead Stonebone, he looks like a fat, round blob with four tentacles instead of arms and legs. C'borp was the chief gunner on the Starjacker. (TOJ)

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

CC-01/425
This was the designation of a clone trooper who was bred at the Tipoca City cloning facility on Kamino, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. CC-01/425 was trained as a commando, and attained the rank of Sergeant during his training. His skills as a fighter and a leader were later put to use as a trainer, when he was assigned to the role of advisor. Because of his familiarity with other clone commandos, CC-01/425 was given the task of advising Delta Squad on many of its missions. (SWMW)

CC-7700
This older Corellian Engineering Corporation frigate was, in many respects, the predecessor to the Corellian Gunship. The ship was lightly armed, but the CC-7700 was not meant to be a battle ship. Instead, it was designed to be a platform for a gravity well projector, with a mission profile similar to the Imperial Interdictor cruiser. The CC-7700 was protected by eight quad laser turrets and six separate shield generators. (REB, LSSM)

CC-7700/E
This was an updated version of the Corellian Engineering Corporation interdiction cruiser, producing during the final stages of the Galactic Civil War. The New Republic made extensive use of these ships during the months following the Battle of Endor, as it tried to snuff out pockets of Imperial resistance and consolidate its power. Known as Slash-Es to the Republic's naval forces, the E series of CC-7700 cruisers had improved weaponry that gave it better point-defense capabilities. The power generators for the base ship's eight quad laser turret were upgraded, and additional weaponry included two proton torpedo launchers that were mounted on turrets, one located on the dorsal hull and another on the ventral side. These turrets were capable of moving through a complete circle, allowing the weapons officers to cover a large portion of the space around them. Cluster bombs were also placed across the ship's hull, providing anti-starfighter defenses. The hull plating of the E series was also improved, using a form of carbon-nanofilament armor that was more resistant to energy and projectile weapons. (LSSM)

CC-8826
see Commander 8826 (SWI87)

CC-9600
This Corellian Engineering Corporation warship was based on the earlier successes of the CC-7700 series, although the CC-9600 frigate was more compact and more heavily armed. The CC-9600 was designed for direct combat, with upgraded weaponry and shielding, and enough cargo and passenger space to transport two full regiments of troops. (REB)

CD12
An Imperial-manufactured gas which kills the Trichoid larva if administered before the larva hatch. (TB)

CD-12a
This autopilot droid brain, produced by Go-Corp during the height of the New Order, was linked to a wrist unit worn by the owner. The droid brain was installed on the owner's starship, and accepted commands from the wrist unit. This allowed the owner to activate their ship's pre-flight sequences prior to boarding. Many enterprising smugglers altered the droid brain to have combat skills, allowing them to remotely defend their ships. (GFT)

CD-2
This harvester argirobot was manufactured by the Corporate Sector Authority. Roughly the size of an Imperial AT-AT walker, the CD-2 harvester moved about on four huge wheels, and was equipped with a trio of soil-tilling arms, a set of rolling hrvester blades, and an external storage hopper. Despite its name, the CD-2 could perform a variety of agricultural operations, including soil preparation and planting, and could help a farmer maximize his yield with a sophisticated programming package.

Luke Skywalker tried to kill the beast by dumping tons of debris on it, but the worm survived. Luke was forced to activate Orion Ferret's sonic pacifier device in order to stop Ceasar. (LTA5, MC59)

Ceasing-To-Be
This was a term used by some higher-level droids to describe the death of an organic being. Most droids had no concept of death, other than a memory wipe, and couldn't understand how it affected organic beings. (HT)

Cebz
This female Marit was the leader of the group that assisted the members of Omega Squad in preparing to take the city of Eyat, on the planet Gaftikar, during the height of the Clone Wars. She introduced the clone commandos to the idea of cascading their attacks, destroying Eyat and then taking the next larger cities when they were left without military support from the capital. Cebz found that the Marit and the clone troopers shared one thing in common: both groups were without rights when they were brought in to perform a specific job. In communicating this to Darman, she revealed that ARC Trooper A-30 was quite annoyed by this similarity, and she relayed information on A-30's activities to the commandos who were searching for him. (RCTC)

This was one of the most common Gungan surnames, taking from the father's side of the family. These surnames were not dropped, even after marriage. To the Gungans, it meant "vigilant sentry". (GCG)

Ceel, Tobler
This Gungan General was in command of the entire Gungan army, and reported directly to Boss Nass. During the Battle of Naboo, Ceel was forced to defer to Boss Nass' wish that Jar Jar Binks be also named as a General, but would not let the bumbling Gungan hold any real duties. Ceel and his officers devised the plan of attack that had the Gungans draw out and detain the Trade Federation's droid army, while allowing Queen Amidala and her small force to infiltrate the city of Theed and capture Nute Gunray and Rune Haako. The battle waged on in an even sort of match until the droid army managed to knock out the heavy Gungan shields. At this point, Ceel ordered a full retreat, hoping to regroup his forces and attack again. However, the droid army swept over them and prevented a full retreat. The Gungans were saved when nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker and Bravo Squadron destroyed the Neimoidian droid control ship, rendering their immense battle force inoperative. (E1N, SWRPG)

Ceelell
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 meant "thoughtful" or "introspective". (GCG)

Ceen, Walda
This green-haired, near-human female worked for the CreedCon Construction company as an engineer, during the final years of the Old Republic. Ceen was among the handful of workers who were hired for the bridge construction project that Thaedius Creed envisioned as part of his racecourse facility, but disappeared after her team discovered the ancient burial cave in which the Tarasin had trapped the t'salak, many generations before. A group of freelance agents hired by Thaedius Creed to locate the construction team discovered Mant Buume's datapad, but little else, because the crew had been captured by the Dark Jedi known as Raik Muun. They were taken to Tilnes, where Muun managed to breed a second t'salak. Although Muun managed to escape, Ceen and her crew were rescued by a team that had been hired by the Almas Academy to locate Nek Lawsirk. (FOC1)

Ceesi
Meaning "precious", this name was common among Gungan females. (GCG)

Ceewam
This Ithorian surname was believed to mean "moss", according to historian who studied the Ithorian race. (GCG)

Ceezva
This Teltior female was known to have bluffed her way into a sabacc match against the Archduke Monlo of the Dentamma Nebula, then won the rights to the entire Unnipar System. Rumor had it that she had just 500 credits to her name at the start of the match. (AE)

Cegul Sector
This area of the galaxy was located beyond the Elrood Sector, opposite the Core. (PG3)

Cejansij
This planet, the primary world of the Cejansij System, was famous for the dwellings carved into its canyon-covered surface. (SOP)

Cekbar
This was one of the six major continents found on the planet Celanon. Celanon City was located on its western coast. (PG1)

Cekbar Servant
This Action IV transport was originally owned by a group of Nalroni merchants who were based on Celanon during the last years of the New Order. The ship was later captured by the Des'maric Pirates and renamed the Asagov Raider. (DARK)

Cel
This woman served as a Lieutenant in the New Republic Navy, and was assigned to General Wedge Antilles aboard the Mon Mothma during the last stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. A native of Coruscant, Cel was only ten years old when Grand Admiral Thrawn blockaded the planet with cloaked asteroids. After the capital world was liberated from Imperial control, Cel knew that she wanted to serve in the New Republic military when she grew up. Despite the numerous times she had been in combat with General Antilles, Lieutenant Cel never got used to the fact that he took great risks to achieve his goals. (FP, UF)

Celaar, Hallem
This man was a native of the planet Naboo, and was one of the planet's foremost experts on the flora and fauna of the planet during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. In the wake of the Trade Federation's invasion of his home planet, Professor Celaar began investigating the feasibility of transporting specimens of Naboo's plant and animal life to sanctuaries on Ohma-D'un. Professor Celaar was incapacitated aboard the shuttle Fair Gale when Captain Worlohp went mad after breathing Kyvalon-4 gas. (GMR1)

Celadon City
This city was referred to by Admiral Mordon in his secret code phrase, "There's a fog over Celadon City." Mordon provided this code phrase to his closest comrades, as a way to announce their arrival. (TSC)

Celador Sash
This twin-hulled transport ship was donated to Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum by a grateful trader. Decades before, Obi-Wan Kenobi had saved the trader's family, but he couldn't repay the favor after the Emperor nearly exterminated the Jedi. With the advent of the New Republic, the outdated ship found its way to Yavin 4 and Skywalker. (JAL)

Celahdrine X-Taxi
This 7.5-meter-long groundspeeder was used by the Caarites to move across the surface of their homeworld. The body of the X-Taxi was made from ceramic materials instead of metal, and was fueled by the respiratory by-products of the native plant life. The exhaust of the X-Taxi was perfectly matched to the environment, and returned much of the gases and nutrients needed by the plant to survive. In this way, the X-Taxi allowed the Caarites to maintain their symbiotic relationship with their homeworld. Known in the Caarimala language as a Anih'cam Xesued, the X-Taxi could transport up to six individuals and their cargo between the various floating cities that dotted the landscape of Caarimon. (MCT3)

Celanite
This was the name used by the Nalroni who lived in Celanon City. (PG1)

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

Celanon City
Located on the planet Celanon, Celanon City was a commercial hub for the Outer Rim Territories. Located on the Cekbar continent, Celanon City was a sprawling metropolis which catered to the whims of every conceivable being. A free trader was considered a rank amateur until they had cut a deal in Celanon City. (XW, PG1)

Celanon Finance
This credit-lending institution was actually a dummy corporation set up by Imperial agent Renik during the Galactic Civil War. (SESB)

Celanon Semi-Dry

Celanonian Organized Protectorate
This was the name of the police force which patrolled the cities of Celanon during the early years of the New Republic. (POC)

Celchu, Mia
Tycho Celchu's sister, she was killed on Alderaan when the first Death Star destroyed the planet. (XWBT)

Celchu, Skoloc
Tycho Celchu's brother, Skoloc was killed when the Death Star destroyed Alderaan. He was a fan of holovids which involved the Jedi Knights. (BW)

Celchu, Tycho
Tycho Celchu was a graduate of the Imperial Naval Academy, even though he was a native of Alderaan. He was engaged to a woman named Mia who, along with most of Celchu's family, was killed when the Death Star destroyed the planet. Note that Mia is the name given in the first series of X-Wing: Rogue Squadron comics, although the X-Wing novels name her as Nyiestra. Tycho was calling home on his twenty-first birthday, and regarded the loss of transmission to be a simple glitch. After learning the truth about this atrocious act, Celchu left Imperial service and defected to the Alliance, where he became a veteran of the Battle of Hoth, flew an A-Wing in the Battle of Endor, and participated in the Battle of Bakura.

His allegiance, though, was constantly questioned by the ranking officers in the New Republic, although the fighter pilots never waivered in their support of him. He was under constant surveillance by the New Republic, because of his ability to escape from Imperial capture time and time again. He showed an innate ability to pilot a TIE Fighter, which also didn't endear him to the higher-ups. It did, though, bring a level of respect among other pilots. Tycho assisted the Rogues and infiltrated the Imperial ranks on Cilpar. He also participated in the Rogues' mission to Mrlsst, but was witnessed killing the controllers of the Phantom cloaking device and stealing its plans. The tape turned out to be a clever fake designed to discredit the Rogues and secure the Phantom device for the Empire. Once the Phantom was proven to be a smokescreen, Tycho was freed from any guilt in the matter.

He later fell in love with Winter, during the recovery of the Eidolon on Tatooine. He was later chosen to fly the initial scanning runs of the planet Coruscant, flying a stolen Imperial craft in a series of sensor runs in an effort to assess the planet's defenses. He was captured by the Empire and sent to Lusankya, where he was few prisoners who were not drugged, but rather allowed to remember his time there. He was then sent to Akrit'tar for three months before escaping and returning to the Republic. This time was secretly removed from his Republic records, further increasing the distrust among those members of the Command structure who weren't privy to the Coruscant mission.

He later became a member of Rogue Squadron, following the Battle of Endor, but was not allowed to pilot a starfighter or any ship with weapons. It was believed that Ysanne Isard had implanted him with a hidden codephrase that activated subliminal programming, making him an extremely effective although unwilling spy. The fact that he remembered his time on Lusankya made him different enough from other survivors that it went unnoticed until Rogue Squadron infiltrated Coruscant.

Shortly before the attack on Coruscant, Celchu was believed dead on Noquivzor. He suddenly reappeared, and helped the Rogues get onto the planet. There, Corran Horn supposedly witnessed Tycho meeting with Kirtan Loor, when Celchu was actually meeting with Lai Nootka. The circumstantial evidence, coupled with Horn's disappearance, left Tycho in custody for Horn's murder. He was certain to be convicted of the crime until Horn escaped from Lusankya and positively identified the true traitor in the Rogue Squadron as Erisi D'larit.

Tycho eventually fell in love with Winter, partly because she was near him more often, but mostly because of their shared Alderaanian background. When the squadron resigned its commissioned with the New Republic, Tycho chose to paint his X-Wing in the colors of the Alderaan Guard unit that maintained order in his home town. Tycho eventually became one of the squadron's leaders, especially during the time Wedge formed and developed Wraith Squadron. After Wedge was promoted to General and Tycho was promoted to Colonel, Wedge relinquished day-to-day control of the Rogues to Tycho. Tycho remained as Commander of the Rogues for several years before getting married to Winter and ceding command to Gavin Darklighter.

Tycho retired shortly after Wedge Antilles, although both offered assistance to Gavin during the Yuuzhan Vong crisis. He was called out of retirement during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, retaining his rank as Colonel and commanding the starfighter defenses of the planet Coruscant. After the Yuuzhan Vong surrendered at Coruscant some five years after the invasion began, Tycho and many of his contemporaries decided to retire from military life once and for all. He remained out of action for nearly a decade, but continued to serve the navy as a General and a military advisor within the Galactic Alliance Starfighter Command. Thus, Tycho found himself facing Wedge Antilles across the negotiating table, when the Galactic Alliance sponsored a summit with the leaders of the Five World Party. The Corellians had been threatening to secede from the Galactic Alliance, and a GA military action had failed to resolve the issue.

Tycho and Winter were then asked to investigate the information contained in the Chasin Document, which led to the discovery that the security breach within the Galactic Alliance's computer systems had been inserted using a password known only to the members of the Galactic Alliance Guard. Although this placed suspicion at the feet of Jacen Solo, no action was ever taken against him. During the height of the Galactic Alliance's war with The Confederation, Tycho was dispatched to the Anakin Solo, which had been damaged in a Corellian attack. He was acting as an analyst for Admiral Cha Niathal, hoping to gather information and data on the morale of the officers and soldiers who were fighting the war. He ran into his niece, Syal Antilles, aboard the ship, and posed his questions to her first. She explained that the war seemed pointless, unlike the galvanizing conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. In order to gain a wider perspective on the galaxy, they set off to a rendezvous with Luke Skywalker and the Jedi Order, which had abandoned the Galactic Alliance during the Battle of Kuat. They also transported Doctor Toval Seyah with them, hoping that the Jedi would provide Seyah with sanctuary.

Although Tycho was glad that Doctor Seyah would be cared for, he feared that his mission report might provide Jacen Solo with information on the Jedis' location. Luke was not concerned, and explained that the Jedi were getting ready to abandon the Endor base. They rendezvoused aboard the Errant Venture, and began laying out two plans. The first was a mission to rescue Allana, the daughter of Tenel Ka. The second was a daring mission to disable Centerpoint Station, thereby preventing Jacen Solo or any other being from using it as a weapon. Tycho agreed to serve as Rakehell Three on the mission, working with Wedge Antilles once again. He used his access codes to trick the Anakin Solo's communications team into believing that he was in command of the shuttle Reveille, and that the shuttle needed to make an emergency landing in order to avoid enemy starfighters. However, in the midst of the attack, Tycho came to the realization that he couldn't allow the Reveille to land unimpeded. It was his duty as an officer of the Galactic Alliance to warn the Anakin Solo about his actual location, depsite the fact that he privately wanted Centerpoint Station eliminated as a threat. When he landed his starfighter near the Reveille, he asked to communicate with Lieutenant Tebut, but was instead shot in the chest. (XWRS, XWN, WG, KT, XWPA, XWBT, BW, HXW, SOA, DTO, SBS, UF, LF1, LF4, LF7)

Celchu, Winter
Leia Organa-Solo's childhood friend, Winter was raised in the household of Bail Organa. A year and a few months older than Leia, she was a strikingly beautiful Alderaanian woman with snow-white hair. She bore a striking resemblance to Leia, and often sat in for Leia in public appearances. Their friendship grew quickly, and their rapport kept them together on many diplomatic missions. Winter became an invaluable aide to Leia, using her photographic memory to catalog huge amounts of data for later recall. Winter's abilities were put to use by the Alliance, during its struggle with the Empire. She was known as the Targeter during the Rebellion, and participated in several missions to help provide rebel cells with weapons and other supplies. Winter became a visible symbol of the New Republic, helping spread Leia's ideals to other worlds, including Cilpar.

Winter became a sort of scout for Rogue Squadron following the Battle of Endor, staying one step ahead of Imperial forces and alerting the fledgling New Republic command to any suspicious activity. Winter made the first contact with Elscol Loro on Cilpar, and was instrumental in the recovery of the Eidolon weapons cache. During the mission, she began to fall in love with Tycho Celchu, which was made easier because they shared their Alderaanian heritage. She later became the guardian of Han Solo and Leia's children, working with Admiral Ackbar and Luke Skywalker to design a hidden fortress on Anoth. She fought bravely against Ambassador Furgan's attack on the Anoth fortress, but was forced to leave the complex after rescuing the children. She later returned to Anoth, shoring up the planetoid's defenses for future use.

Years later, she married Tycho when he retired from the military, and they tried to start a life together. This life was interrupted by the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, when Tycho was recalled to active duty with the military. Winter decided to return to Admiral Ackbar's side, traveling to Calamari to serve as his assistant. As Ackbar's health failed, Winter became both nursemaid and assistant, helping to make his final months more bearable. With Ackbar's death, Winter returned the simple life of a retiree, living with Tycho in relative obscurity. They maintained a close relationship with their friends, and Winter even served for a brief time as a member of the Darkmeld unit, during the years following the Second Galactic Civil War. After captured Seff Hellin in a wild chase through the skylanes of Coruscant, Winter remarked that most of the people she knew were members of families that were made up of "crazy women and the pilots who pursue them."

Celebration of Life
This was the Kitonak name for the period of rain which arrives in the Kurdan Desert every ten years. As rivers form, the Kitonaks plunge themselves into the water and begin the Dance of Love. During this dance, the Kitonaks remain in the temporaty rivers and drift downstream wherever the water took them. (GG4)

Celegia
This oceanic planet was known as the homeworld of the Celegian race. The atmosphere of Celegia was laden with cyanogen gas, which was deadly to most other forms of life. This meant that any Celegian individual who traveled off-planet had to move about in a specially-designed life-support chamber. (SWDB)

Celegian
Native to the planet Celegia, this alien race resembled floating brains. Hanging from their bulbous bodies were several tendrils which served as limbs. Described by many as scyphozoans, the Celegians were renowned for their intellect and wisdom. Their ability to float came from a unique, bio-organic form of repulsor which evolved after the earliest members of their species emerged form the ocean. Because Celegia's atmopshere was laden with cyanogen, Celegians were required to live in speciallized life-support chambers whenever they traveled off-world. The Celegians, lacking any kind of mouth, used telepathy to communicate with each other. Individual Celegians could live to be more than 250 years of age, and were known to be natural explorers. (WOTC, SWDB, PJSB, UANT)

Celestial
This Alliance transport ship was captained by Alain Gryphon when it disappeared from known space. The Celestial was transporting prisoners to an Alliance penal colony when its captives, including Bane Nothos and Grand Moff Ravik, broke free and took control of the ship. The Imperials, in their attempt to gain control, caused a power surge to flood the ship, disabling the hyperdrive. Gryphon tried to foil Nothos' plans by initiating a hyperspace jump despite the damage, and the ship was suddenly launched into Otherspace. There, it was captured by the Charon and attached to the huge ship, the Desolate. (OS)

This was the name of an enhanced human female Han Solo encountered on Crseih Station, during the early years of the New Republic. (CS)

Celestials
This was the Basic translation of the name used by the Colony to describe the oldest of the civilizations that ever inhabited the galaxy. UnuThul explained that it was the Celestials who "emptied" the Killiks from Oroboro, some 20,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. Jedi Master Luke Skywalker later learned that the Celestials actually drove the Killiks into the Unknown Regions, after the Killiks had stripped Alderaan of its natural resources and were about to take over another planet. (DN1, DN3, NEGA)

Celextrian
This small corporation produced a variety of range detectors and personal navigation devices, during the height of the New Order. (GFT)

Celia
This Codru-Ji female worked as a dancer at Mawbo's Performance Hall, on the planet Tatooine, during the early years of the New Republic. (TG)

Cell of Imu
This was the name of a legendary storehouse of ancient Jedi relics, supposedly located deep below the surface of the planet Coruscant. Created some 19,000 years before the Galactic Civil War by the eccentric Jedi Humat, the Cell of Imu was believed to contain all of Humat's treasures and lore. The centerpiece of the catacombs was a chamber in which a talisman known as the soul stealer was believed to have been kept. In order to protect his collection, Humat set a number of deadly traps, and kept a number of vicious creatures to help guard the vaults. During the last century of the Old Republic, the Cell of Imu was uncovered in the Petrax Quarter, during the demolition of a five-hundred-story building. The soul stealer was uncovered and nearly fell into the wrong hands. However, a team of freelance agents managed to recover the talisman and return it to the Jedi Knights. (CCW)

Cell, The
This organization rose up from the floating city of Air Avab, on the planet Genarius, in an effort to overthrow Nirama, some ten years before the Battle of Naboo. It was believed that The Cell was formed from a splinter group of Nirama's organization. The membership of The Cell were systematically hunted down and eliminated in short order, after their intentions against Nirama were made public. It was later discovered that the elimination of The Cell was a joint operation, carried out by Nirama and Len Markus. (WOTC)

Cellwan
This name was common among Ithorian females. Although such names do not generally have meaning, Ithorians who studied their race's history learned that the name referred to a graceful, Ithorian herd animal. (GCG)

Cellwan
This graceful herd animal was native to the planet Ithor. (GCG)

Celomar
This Imperial officer was Moff Caerbellak's chief aide on Rydonni Prime. (SWJ9)

Celonslay
This unusual vegetable grew from the ground in clumps of thick stalks. The individual stalks produced the leaves that allowed the plant to create nutrients. Celonslay stalks could be washed to remove any dirt and then sliced into various size pieces, which were used in a variety of dishes. The distinct flavor of the celonslay plant made it a popular addition to broths and soups, and the crunchy texture made celonslay sticks a popular snack food. (OWS)

Celso, Nikaede
This female Wookiee was a constant companion of Drake Paulsen, and served as the first mate aboard the Steadfast. Huge even for a Wookiee, Nikaede was smuggled off Kashyyyk at a young age by her own parents, in an attempt to keep her free from slavery. She later bonded with Drake, developing a relationship which helped fill in the gaps of her childhood. (SWJ3, SWJ12)

Celz, Alysun
This woman claimed to have served the Old Republic as a pilot, commanding of the Radiant IX when it was dispatche to bring the Dark Jedi known as Et Rex back to Coruscant, several years after the Battle of Naboo. When Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, located the disabled ship in the Hoth System, Alysun claimed that Et Rex had killed the crew and was hiding aboard the ship. When Obi-Wan went to investigate, Anakin discovered that Alysun was the Dark Jedi. After Et Rex refused to give himself over to the Dark Side of the Force, Alysun, tried to frame him for the murders of the crew, in the hopes of escaping justice. Rather than be captured again, Alysun tried to kill Anakin with Force Lightning, in an effort to steal the Jedis' ship and escape. However, Et Rex returned with Obi-Wan, and flung several mynocks at her. In the resulting chaos, Alysun's Force Lightning was turned back onto her own body, and she was killed in the conflagration. (DHE3)

Cemas
An alien race. (TNR)

Cemma the Younger
This crude, psychopathic outlaw was known as a gunslinger in the backwater worlds of the Inner Rim. He was extremely handsome, which helped lull his opponents into thinking he was too young to be a quick draw. He was approached by Dhas Vedij and offered a chance to serve on the crew of the Far Orbit, after Vedij defected from Imperial service. (FOP)

Cencil Corporation
This droid developer was nationalized by the Empire and added to the Imperial Droid Corporation. (FOP)

Cenotaph of Joor
This was a form of afterlife, recognized by the religion of the Duros people. (SWI63)

Censian-class Transport
This outdated transport craft found use within the Alliance's Special Forces division as a troop transport. (AIR)

Censorious Tempest Nebula
This area of interstellar gas was located on the fringes of the Karthakk System. It was continually skimmed by a remote asteroid field, and the movement of the asteroids through the material of the Nebula resulted in intense, electrostatic discharges that gave the Nebula its name. (SWGAL)

Cent, Woorta
This was the given name of the Swokes Swokes female known as Woorta Woorta. (GORW)

Centares
This star was the central body of the Centares System, located in the Maldrood Sector of the Mid Rim. (WOA32, DOFD)

Centares
This planet, the third and primary world in the Centares System, was the home of the Museum of the Galactic Republic. A brief battle was fought on Centares during the Clone Wars, but Jedi Master Shaak Ti and her team of clone troopers was able to assist in the planet's defense. Once Emperor Palpatine instituted his New Order, the Museum was closed. Tarvel to Centares continued, however, as it was one of the last outposts along several hyperspace lanes leading beyond the borders of the Empire. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa were forced to stop on Centares to purchase a new ship, after taking Simon Greyshade's personal yacht during their escape from The Wheel. Shortly afterward, Darth Vader arrived on Centares and discovered the name of the pilot who destroyed the first Death Star from Ban Papeega: Luke Skywalker. (VQ, MC25, WOA32, LEV)

Centaur
This was another name used to describe a member of the Chironian race. (DOG)

Centaurea Pod
This plant was noted for the way that it bloomed every few weeks, producing an explosion of pink blossoms. (TT)

Centauriform
This was another name for the Chironian race. (DOG)

Centax 1
This was considered the second of Coruscant's many moons. During the height of the Clone Wars, Centax 1 was the site of a garrison force of some 20,000 clone troopers. The garrison had been established early in the conflict, as a staging base for military operations. (JT)

Centax 2
One of Coruscant's moons, Centax 2 hung very close to the upper atmosphere of the planet. The Jedi Knights established a starfighter training facility on Centax 2, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. Bluish in color when viewed from space, Centax 2 was a sterile world that lacked vegetation and water, and its rugged surface had been reformed to accommodate landing fields and starfighter hangars. During the height of the Clone Wars, the Jedi facility was all but abandoned as the Jedi Knights were scattered across the galaxy fighting battles against the Separatists. This allowed Chancellor Palpatine to establish a top-secret cloning facility on the moon, enabling him to secretly create a vastly larger army than the Grand Army of the Republic. It was believed that the clones who were created on Centax 2 were told that they were on Kamino, in order to prevent them from inadvertently telling another being where they had been created. Unlike the clone troopers created on Kamino, the troopers produced on Centax 2 took just over a year to develop, and were flash-trained rather than taught by specific instructors. Decades later, Centax 2 and its facilities escaped destruction at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong many decades later, and the site was reused as a training facility by the new Jedi Order established by Luke Skywalker. (JAD, LF2, RC66)

Centax-1 Maximum Correctional

Center of Everything, The
This was a mystical reference used by The One. (LCS)

Center Sphere
This was the name given to the innermost portion of The Ring, which formed the core of the settlement of Bartyn's Landing, on the planet Lamaredd. As its name implied, the Center Sphere was covered by a protective sphere that kept out most of the weather experienced in Bartyn's Landing. The center of the Sphere was open to the sky, however, allowing for natural sunlight and fresh air to enter the Sphere. (GMR7)

Center Sphere Flimsinews
This news agency served the residents of the planet Lamaredd during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. Its headquarters were located in Bartyn's Landing, within the sector known as Center Sphere. Their motto was that they were "the only news service that lands the big stories." (GMR7)

Center Street
This was the primary road in the city of Maz-Verlin, on the planet Vernet. (SWJ15)

Center, The
This was the name of the operations section of Vergesso Base, and contained the adminstration center, the armory, a detention center, and the power and environmental systems for the asteroid base. (SPG)

Center, The
This was another mystical reference used by Lando Calrissian. (LCF)

Centerpoint Party
Formed of rebellious Corellians and a group of New Republic archaeologists who were forcibly removed from Centerpoint Station during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, this quasi-political faction demanded that the Corellian System be given five votes in the New Republic Senate, instead of just one. Their justification was taken from the beliefs of the Sacorrian Triad, and was based on the unusual nature of the Corellian System. Since all five planets were life-sustaining worlds drawn to the star Corell by the planetary repulsor onboard Centerpoint Station, the Centerpoint Party argued that each planet should have unique representation in the Senate. In this way, the System would have five votes, and the Centerpoint Party hoped to use them to stop the New Republic from commandeering Centerpoint Station for use as a weapon against the Yuuzhan Vong. In the aftermath of the Battle of Fondor, the Centerpoint Party garnered more and more favor in the Corellian Sector. Thrackan Sal-Solo took control of the Party shortly afterward, and agreed to assist the Yuuzhan Vong under a "treaty of friendship" if they would allow the Corellian Sector to remain neutral. When they learned that he had decided to join the Yuuzhan Vong, the Centerpoint Party exiled Thrackan, confiscated his property, and refused to allow him to return to Corellia. Unfortunately, the Party's ability to keep Sal-Solo out of the political arena was thwarted by the growing partisanship of Corellian politics, and he was soon appointed as the Corellian Systems Minister of Defense. In an effort to forestall any further trouble, the Centerpoint Party began working with the Democratic Alliance and the Corellian Liberal Front to block any unwanted or unnecessary actions. Thus, when Sal-Solo threatened to go to war for Corellian independence, the three parties agreed to work together if he should ever be "removed" from office. Although none of the factions would openly admit it, each wanted to eliminate Sal-Solo entirely from the picture. In the wake of Sal-Solo's assassination, the three primary factions established the groundwork for a new coalition government, with the Centerpoint Party taking on an advisory role to the Democratic Alliance and the CLF. (JE, BP, Y, LF2)

Centerpoint Station
This unusual spaceport was located in the exact center of mass between the planets Talus and Tralus, in the Corellian System. Note that the Star Wars Databank indicates that Talus and Tralus were the fifth and sixth planets, not the third and fourth, in the Corellian System. It was constructed of a 100 kilometer sphere in the middle of two, 150-kilometer rods. The entire station appeared to predate antigrav units, since it spun on its longest axis to provide gravity. This resulted in a constant "day" which lasted about 12 hours. The "year" on the station equalled the 392-day orbit of Talus and Tralus. Gravity on the station was virtually non-existent at the very center of Hollowtown, and got stronger near the outer hull. When the New Republic managed to penetrate the interdiction field surrounding Corellia, following Thrackan Sal-Solo's rise to power, they found that the center of the field was located on the station. The central sphere contained a series of inner sections, called shells, that surrounded the huge open area known as Hollowtown. In the center of Hollowtown was the Glowpoint. Lando Calrissian later discovered that the station was built as a kind of hyperspatial tractor beam, capable of drawing an entire planet through hyperspace to the station's location. It was powered by drawing on the gravitic forces of Talus and Tralus.

Many scientists and historians therefore concluded that Centerpoint Station predated even the Corellian System of planets, as it was the primary tool used to place the planets in their current orbits from far-flung locations. Lando later discovered that the station, by reorienting itself, could be directed to pulse its energy at the core of a star, causing the star to explode. Thus, Centerpoint Station was revealed as the weapon used in the Starbuster plot. Only the timley intervention of Anakin Solo, the young son of Han and Leia Organa Solo, was able to figure out a way to shut the Station's repulsors down, thereby preventing them from being used against other star systems. During normal oepration, the Station supported a "native" population of 540,000 beings, most of them having migrated from Talus and/or Tralus. After the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, the New Republic Defense Force began making plans to reactivate Centerpoint Station, hoping to harness its energy as a weapon and use it to defeat the aliens. However, the station's operational controls had attuned themselves to the life-energy of Anakin Solo, who had helped shut down the weapon during the Corellian Crisis years before. Anakain agreed to try to reactivate the station, but refused to fire it after arguing with his brother, Jacen. Thrackan Sal-Solo, who had been part of the team trying to reactivate the station, took the shot himself. The blast was nearly perfect, taking out a large portion of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet at Fondor. However, the blast also destroyed three-quarters of the Hapan fleet at Fondor, and skimmed both Fondor and one of its moons.

Afterward, when Anakin traveled to Duro, the station rendered itself inoperable again, at which point many scientists believed that the station "imprinted" itself on Anakin Solo's genetic and mental identity, and could only be operated by him. When UnuThul rose to power in the Unknown Regions, he explained to Han and Leia Organa Solo that Centerpoint had actually been built by the Kind, and known to the members of the Colony as Qolaraloq. Other disputed this fact, claiming that the Killiks had simply absorbed the civilization that actually created Centerpoint Station, and the memory of its construction became another of their species' hereditary memories. Centerpoint Station remained inactive for many years, until Thrackan Sal-Solo once again tried to use it as a weapon. The threat of the station being active was a bargaining chip Sal-Solo planned to use in a bid to secede the Corellian System from the Galactic Alliance. Ben Skywalker and Jacen Solo managed to infiltrate Centerpoint Station, on a mission to render it fully inoperable, or destroy it altogether. Although Jacen was captured, Ben managed to reach the central control station, where he made an amzing discovery. Sal-Solo and his scientific teams had acquired genetic material from Anakin Solo and used it to distill his "essence." Much of Anakin's personal history was recreated from HoloNet reports, and this collection of information on Anakin was entrusted in the computer memory banks of a sophisticated droid.

When Ben arrived, the droid announced that it was Anakin Solo, or at least the ghost of Anakin that was drawn to his Corellian roots after his death, a belief that was firmly ingrained in its programming. By using this simulacrum of Anakin, Thrackan Sal-Solo nearly succeeded in re-activating Centerpoint Station. However, Ben managed to convince the droid of its true nature, and the droid agreed to destroy its own memory core in order to prevent further conflict. As it destroyed itself, the Anakin droid set off all the evacuation alarms and watched the beings aboard the station panic and flee, laughing the entire time. With the droid's destruction, Centerpoint Station was once again rendered useless as a weapon, but remained intact for further study. However, as the tension in the Corellia-GA War grew thicker, Centerpoint Station became a focal point for the actions of both sides of the conflict. The Galactic Alliance blockaded the Corellian System, in an effort to prevent the Corellians from using Centerpoint Station as a weapon. When the Corellians were joined in their defiance by the Bothans and the Commenorians, the Galactic Alliance was forced to retreat from Corellia, but not before the flagship Dodonna inflicted huge amounts of damage on the Station. Unfortunately for the GA forces, Centerpoint Station remained largely intact and operational in the wake of the fighting. However, the Corellians had very little success in bringing the station fully back on-line for many months, until Sadras Koyan dispatched a team to secretly get the weapon operational again. Led by Admiral Genna Delpin, the team was part of Koyan's secret scheme to assassinate Jacen Solo. The team developed a set of bypass systems that allowed them to override the station's imprinting on Anakin Solo, but only for a short time.

With Solo pinned down at a pre-determined rendezvous point, Admiral Delpin's forces were able to gain firing control and launch a blast at the Anakin Solo. However, Centerpoint Station continued to resist the Corellians' bypasses, and shut down several key systems after the firing of the blast. Koyan ordered the technicians to keep working on recovering their control, and they were eventually able to gain full control of the station, including the planetary repulsor. Koyan then planned to use the station's operational status as a way to force the Galactic Alliance to recognize Corellian independence, or else he would fire the repulsor at Coruscant. After Koyan was accidentally shot and killed, the chief technician on duty - a man known as Vibro - assumed control of the operation. Without waiting to receive orders, Vibro set about getting ready to fire the repuslor at Coruscant. Unknown to Vibro, Jacen Solo and the Galactic Alliance had launched an attack on the station, hoping to take control of it for the Galactic Alliance. A second mission, led by Luke Skywalker and the Jedi Order, also infiltrated the station, with the goal of completely eliminating the ability to fire the repulsor. Doctor Toval Seyah tried several things to disable the station, including trying to overload the Glowpoint power source. Thus, when Vibro began charging up the repulsor, the Glowpoint exploded, utterly destroying Centerpoint Station and everything within a 250-kilometer radious of the blast.

Although the destruction of Centerpoint Station was just one of many catastrophic events during the Second Galactic Civil War, it proved to be something much greater during the months and years that followed. The explosion seemed to have torn through the Force itself, with the greatest effects being felt by Force-sensitive beings who had lived inside or near the Maw cluster of black holes. These individuals began to feel inexplicable longings and desires to return to the Maw, and those that did not make the initial connections turned them into delusional beings who came to regard everyone around them as an imposter. Those that found their way to the Maw were drawn to Sinkhole Station, where they joined the Mind Walkers in search of a "paradise dimension" within the Force itself.

Centis Major
This was one of the twin suns, along with Renaant, that formed the center of the Tantara System. (UF)

Central
It was believed that this was the codename for the Jedi leaders of the Almas Academy, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. The name Central was intercepted from a transmission that went out on the Cularin System's news networks, speculating on the growing threat of an attack by the Sith. (WOTC)

Central Academic Hospital
This was the primary medical facility located on the planet Mrlsst. (XWPA)

Central Avenue
This was one of the two main streets found in the city of Grig, on the planet Narg. Like most streets in the city, it was extremely difficult for off-worlders to maneuver because the natives travel with little regard for natural or designated laws. (TA)

Central Booking Station
This was the primary police building, located in the city of Thani on Telos. (DOR)

Central Chrono Software
This part of a starship's onboard computer system was tasked with maintaining accurate calculations of the current time. This software then updated the rest of the ship's computer-guided systems - including weapons, sensors, and hyperdrive - on the current time. In this way, the ship's systems could be programmed to carry out specific tasks at designated tiimes, and act in concert through the vessel. The operation of the central chrono software was imperative for the hyperdrive system, because jumping through hyperspace required detailed information on speed, direction, and time in order to know when to shut down the drives and safely revert to realspace. (CWNOP)

Central Command
This was the command center found within the confines of Foamwander City, on the planet Calamari. (DA)

Central Committee of Grand Moffs
A coalition of all the Grand Moffs which was formed to keep communication lines open. It controlled much of the information about the Emperor, including the existence of his mutant son, Triclops. The Grand Moffs then used Trioculus as a puppet for them to gain control of the Empire after Palpatine's death near Endor. (GDV)

Central Control Computer
This huge computer was housed in a Trade Federation Droid Control Ship, and was responsible for the coordination of all droid activities. The computer monitored everything from PK work droids performing menial labors to the huge droidekas, as well as the vulture droid starfighters and battle droids. Primary programming of the CCC was performed by the Neimoidians, and much of the activities controlled by the CCC were meant to preserve the lives of the Neimoidians who served the Trade Federation. In the wake of the Battle of Naboo, however, the use of a central control computer was relegated to remote outposts and other installations where only small numbers of droids needed to be controlled. After Naboo, in which a seemingly luck shot by Anakin Skywalker destroyed the Droid Control Ship and ended the Federations' invasion, the Federation worked with their droid manufacturers to develop droids that could operate on their own. (IG1, NEGD)

Central Council
The governing body of the Anomid people who inhabit the Yablari System. Representatives were chosen from the various Anomid noble houses, corporations, and educational institutions. It creates the laws that govern all Anomid life. (GG12)

Central Council
Another term used to describe the ruling body of the New Republic, during the early years of the Provisional Council. (POT)

Central Court Complex
This collection of judicial buildings was located in Galactic City, on the planet Coruscant, during the final decades of the Old Republic. The buildings of the Central Court Complex were badly damaged in a terrorist attack, about a year after the onset of the Clone Wars, when Separatist supporters tried to strike fear into the hearts of Coruscant's citizens. (CWWS)

Central Dwelling
This was the primary residence of the Benevolent Guides of theplanet Kegan, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (FFT)

Central Gathering Hall
Located in Imperial City on Coruscant, this immense hall was designed some 300 years before the Galactic Civil War. There was a huge clock located inside the Hall, that marked the hours by spreading a light across the city's skyline. (HTTE)

The buildings which house the various government agencies in Calius on Berchest. Tower Number One holds Governor Staffa's offices. (TLC)

Central Instruction Processor
Often abbreviated as CIP, this device controls the routing and operation of an autohopper, taking various things into account. It can be programmed to compensate for geography and weather, among other variables. (HSL)

Central Intelligence Processor
This computer system was one of the many ways in a large number of droids could be controlled by one source. The CIP could program many droids at one time, allowing faster updates and better maneuverability. (TDR)

Central Labor Collective
This was the primary labro union established on the planet Kilmaul. During the millennia before the Clone Wars, the Central Labor Collective expanded to become the primary source of physical labor in the Commonality. It maintained a set of offices in The Warrens district of Efavan, on the planet Vorzyd 5. (GORW)

Central Learning Chip
Known as a CLC, this computer processor allowed droids that were equipped with one to memorize certain aspects of past experiences and incorporate them into future decisions. These chips were first used on robo-hacks and other automated passenger vehicles, giving the vehicles the ability to remember traffic patterns and learn new shortcuts. (CSA, EGD)

Central Lift
The device which raises and lowers a starship's boarding ramp. It was essentially a hydraulic piston. (E5)

Central Posting Service
This branch of the Old Republic's Senate community on galactic security was responsible for the maintenance of records which detailed the various criminals and criminal organizations that were wanted for questioning at any given point in time. The Central Posting Office was required to ensure that information on every wanted criminal was made available to law enforcement agencies throughout the galaxy as quickly as possible. (JQ8)

Central Republic Audit Office
This branch of the Republic Treasury was charged with ensuring that corporate and governmental agencies abided by the tax and commercial laws and regulations of the Galactic Republic. (RC66)

Central Sector Square
This was the name given to the open city square found at the heart of Amma, on the planet Bacrana. Moff Ramier, of Brak Sector, subdued a huge pro-Alliance rally in the Square during the height of the New Order. (SWJ7)

Central Tech
This was the central computer technology services branch of the Galactic Republic governmental offices on the planet Coruscant. Central Tech was responsible for maintaining the government's computer networks, including ensuring that the networks were secure and free from viruses and intruders. (RC66)

Centralia Memorial Spaceport
This was one of the oldest spaceports found on the planet Coruscant, during the last years of the Old Republic. It was located near the Jedi Temple, and often served as the starting point for many of the missions the Jedi Order performed for the Republic. Although the spaceport continued to be enhanced and upgraded over the decades, eventually becoming one of the most modern facilities on the planet, many of its older landing pads were preserved as monuments to the original designers. (TCD)

Centrality
The governing body in the Renatasian and Rafa Systems, the Centrality was responsible for most of the system's trade as well. Lando Calrissian had several bounties on his head, issued by the governors of the Centrality, during his early gambling career. During the early years of the New Order, the Centrality allied itself with the Empire, and allowed the pillaging of many worlds for their natural resources in exchange for certain freedoms. (LCS, RD)

Centrality
This area of the galaxy, located in a remote corner of the Inner Rim Territories, contains the Rafa System and the Renatasian System. Note that Millennium Falcon indicates that the Centrality was located in the Corporate Sector, which is found in the Expansion Region of the galaxy. It was a long slice of space situated between the Cron Drift and Hutt Space. The governors of the Centrality were ostensibly allied with the Empire, but there were few Imperial forces in the area because of its lack of resources. There were also very few planetary bodies in the Centrality, and travelers were warned to top off their fuel systems before trying to cross it, lest they run out of fuel be stranded. (LCS, EGP, GMR5, MF)

Centrally Controlled Independent Replicant Technology
Known as CCIR and developed by Loronar Corporation for use in synthdroids, this technology supposedly produced near-human in mechanical entities. The technology was expanded by Loronar into military applications such as the Needles until the use of other lifeforms within the technology was revealed by Luke Skywalker. CCIR involved the use of shards of Spook crystals from Nam Chorios as the "brain" of the system. A large, central command post was programmed to issue commands to any and all Spook crystals attuned to the wavelength of the message. The use of Spook crystals was described to Loronar by Seti Ashgad and Dzym, who realized that the crystals were, in fact, lifeforms with a high level of Force sensitivity and intelligence. The matrix of the crystals could be re-aligned to make the Spooks subservient to the central processor, which mimicked the natural emanations of the tsil on Nam Chorios. Thus, large numbers of synthdroids could be programmed from a singel location, with much of the processing power required to make decisions remaining in the central site. In the case of the Needles, the ships could be lanuched from anywhere, since they needed no organic pilot and could therefore save space and energy. When Skywalker discovered the sentience of the Spook crystals and explained it to the New Republic, it was decided that any and all Spooks should be returned to Nam Chorios. This ultimatum was given to Loronar, which was faced with the exposure of their part in Dzym's plans or the possibility that the Guardian tsil on Nam Chorios would simply instruct the crystals in CCIR technology to ignore their reprogramming. Thus, CCIR was relegated to a back-seat position, without its primary component being readily available. (POT)

Centran
This was the name used by those beings who lived within The Centrality. They were descended from a group of settlers who desired their own freedom, and they became prosperous within their own right. The Centrans formed their own government, known as the Centrality, which was a loose coalition of all the inhabited planets in the Centrality. (GMR5)

Centressar Strings
These stout, metal cords were used on a drumheller harp to produce unique sounds from cymbals and gongs. When connected to a cymbal then plucked, the Centressar strings created a more soothing percussion sound than simply banging on the cymbal. (VD)

Centrifugal Debris Extractor
This component of a starship engine was designed to remove any space-borne particles that might be caught in the engine's turbines. (IR)

Centris, Melo
This young woman was a noted assassin who worked from a base on Cularin during the years following the Battle of Naboo. She was known as a master of disguise, able to change her youthful appearance in a wide range of ways to mask her true appearance. Centris was born on Coruscant, where she was left to her own devices at an early age. It was believed that she was sensitive to the Force, an attribute which helped her in her duties as an assassin. Her ability to withstand the various poisons she employed, along with her uncanny ability to get past retinal scans and other biological security measures, led many law enforcement agencies to believe Centris was not of human origin. Centris was believed to have traveled to Cularin at the request of the Hutts, as part of a plot to assassinate the husband of Senator Lavira Wren, but no connection was ever made between them. While tracking her whereabouts in the months following the Battle of Geonosis, the Cularin authorities traced Centris to Caarimon. They learned that Centris had been hired by the Believers to deliver several bombs to Caarimon, each filled with a virus that would wipe out the Caarite people. Her role in the mission was also tied to the Thaereian Military, who funneled huge sums of credits into her accounts shortly before she left for Caarimon. In order to avoid capture, Centris adopted a disguise that made her look like Senator Lavira Wren, who could be framed for the bombing if the mission didn't go well. On Caarimon, Centris' plans nearly came to fruition, but she was thwarted by a group of freelance agents who had been hired by the Cularin Militia to help ensure the safety of the Cularin System. Badly wounded in a shoot-out aboard the Creautaa-V space station in orbit over the Desolation, Centris was eventually captured and brought back to Cularin for questioning. Once separated from the Believers who accompanied her to Caarimon, she offered up all manner of incriminating evidence, including information that tied the Believers, the Caarite-attacking virus, and her own mission to the Thaereian Military. Despite Thaere's outright denial of her claims, Centris continued to claim that she had been paid handsomely by the Thaereian Military. (WOTC, MCT3)

Centurion
This was the rank given by the Imperial Sector Police to the leader of a squad or response unit. (CN2)

Century 2
This Imperial freighter was part of a group that was destroyed by Keyan Farlander and a group of A-Wings, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. (XW, XWP)

Century 3
This Imperial freighter was part of a group that was destroyed by Keyan Farlander and a group of A-Wings, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. (XW, XWP)

Century Tank
This was the proper name for the TIE Tank, also called a TIE crawler. (DESB, SWDB)

Ceousa
Thie New Republic Navy General accompanied Wedge Antilles during the attack on Almania, during Dolph's reign of terror. Ceousa was in command of the warship Calamari. (TNR)

Cephalon
This unusual alien race got its name from an Oldspeak Basic word that meant "head." While most sentients beings were capable of seeing their surroundings in three dimensions of length, width, and depth, Cephalons were able to see time in a similar fashion. The consciousness of a Cephalon also existed in four-dimensional space, allowing them to "see" time, and how it interacted with other dimensions. In scientific terms, Cephalons could conceptualize time and space as part of a four-dimension hypermanifold. In appearance, an individual Cephalon resembled a globe-shaped mass of long-dead flesh. Although it appeared to lack eyes, the Cephalon used a collecting of antennae and sensory organs that sprouted from its body to perceive its environment. These various appendages were part of an electroreceptive matrix that was governed by several sub-brains that were connected to the central brain. Each of the sub-brains maintained its own processing capabilities, allowing the Cephalon to discern and understand several different aspects of time and space, while the central brain handled the abstract conceptualization of all the data the Cephalon processed. Because they needed a methane- and sulfate-rich environment in which to live, most Cephalons found away from their homeworlds were forced to live in specialized tanks. In order to derive sustenance, a Cephalon used its baleen-filled mouth to sieve microorganisms from the surrounding environment. As individuals, Cephalons were known to have at least nine distinct emotional states, although only three of these were shared with other sentient races in the galaxy. An Imperial Inquisitor was rumored to have gone insane while trying to understand the inner workings of a Cephalon's consciousness, presumably because the Inquisitor was unable to comprehend the Cephalon's ability to relate to its environment in four dimensions. (CN2)

Ceptor 1
This Imperial shuttle was part of a small task force that was supposed to rendezvous with the Ethar I and Ethar II, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. The task force was no match for a grup of Alliance ships that ambushed the two corvettes, and they were driven off, allowing the Alliance to capture the corvettes. (XW, XWP)

Ceptor 2
This Imperial shuttle was part of a small task force that was supposed to rendezvous with the Ethar I and Ethar II, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. The task force was no match for a grup of Alliance ships that ambushed the two corvettes, and they were driven off, allowing the Alliance to capture the corvettes. (XW, XWP)

Ceraglass
A transparent ceramic alloy that was extremely tough and durable, ceraglass was often used for viewports in military land vehicles like the Mekuun Hoverscout. (ISB)

Ceramacrete
This was an incredibly ancient, durable building material. Investigation of the ancient communications facility on Jaguada's moon revealed ceramacrete floors that were at least 5,000 years old, at the time of the Clone Wars. (RDV)

Ceramisteel
This hard, dense material was manufactured for use in starship hulls. (CSA)

Ceram-metal
This manufactured material, produced in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, combined the strength of metals with the non-conductive properties of ceramics, creating a material that could withstand the stress and friction-induced heat of an atmospheric re-entry. This made it a perfect material for constructing hull plating for drop ships and transports that made regular runs to the surface of a planet. (DN3)

Ceramofused Armor
This was a form of armor plating that was used to protect military installation and domed survival structures. The ceramofused armor was made from alloys and metals that were bonded to heavy-duty ceramics, creating a dense armor that could be formed in various thicknesses. Ceramofused armor was capable of withstanding the effects of proton torpedoes and even explosive-tipped warheads. (LSSM)

Ceramoid
This material was developed during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was useful in the formation of fire-fighting gear, exploration and scouting bins, or in survival armor, for it had an incredibly high melting point. (VD2)

Ceramo-Werx
This manufacturing facility was once owned by Quaffug the Hutt, until he lost it in a sabacc match to Lando Calrissian at the Rafa Chabalrussa, during the early years of the New Order. (BHSW)

Cerar
This Mandalorian word translated into Basic as "mountain." (OWS)

Cerasi
This teenaged girl was a native of the planet Melida/Daan. She was also a member of The Young, and was the person who rescued Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi from Wehutti and the Melida. She had close-cropped, copper-colored hair and green eyes. She was the first of the children to forsake her parents and her heritage and live beneath the city of Zehava as a "free" being. Her courage eventually inspired other youths, like Nield, and they eventually formed The Young as a way to fight back against their parents' bigotry. Her mother was killed in a battle while conducting a sniper raid, and her brother was sent to work in a munitions factory. Her father was the leader of the Melida militia, Wehutti, although she held to loyalty to him. She was stubborn to a fault, but was a brave fighter and excellent scout. She agreed to help the two Jedi locate Tahl, while Nield and the other members of The Young created a diversion. Her bravery allowed them to recover Tahl without bloodshed, and her strong will helped The Young defeat the elders and unify the government of the planet. However, unlike Nield, she understood that her heritage could not simply be destroyed. She and Obi-Wan petitioned Nield to stop destroying the Halls of Evidence, an action Nield vetoed but was overruled by the new council. Nield's ignorance of the basic needs of Zehava began to splinter The Young, and his lack of control emboldened the elders of the city. Wehutti and his band opposed the destruction of a Hall on Glory Street, and Nield fought back. In the ensuing firefight, Cerasi was shot and killed. Her death further splintered the city of Zehava, since neither Nield nor Wehutti could determine who killed her and each balmed the other as well as themselves. (DOD, UP)

Ceratir
This Mandalorian verb translated into Basic as "to point." (OWS)

Cerberus
This modified Nebulon-B frigate was part of the Imperial fleet sent to destroy the Alliance's partnership with smugglers, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)

Cerberus
This Imperial bulk cruiser was part of a convoy that was ambushed and destroyed by the Alliance, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)

Cerea
This temperate, forested world was the homeworld of the Cerean race. Cerea was one of the first ten planets to join the Refugee Resettlement Coalition, shortly before the Clone Wars. During the Clone Wars, the Jedi Knights Ki-Adi-Mundi and Tarr Seirr struggled to keep their homeworld free and neutral, but Seirr's death at Hypori led to Cerea being largely unprotected. Several battles were found for control of Cerea, leaving large portions of the forest devastated and many Cereans dead or wounded. A Separatist attack on a military base caused huge amounts of damage, including areas that were mainly civilian in nature. The death toll numbered more than a million civilians, which led many Cereans to withdraw from the galactic community for the remainder of the war. (PTR, HNN5, SWDB, LFCW)

Cerean
This was the native language of the Cerean people. (PJSB)

Cerean
This race of near-humans was native to the planet Cerea. In nearly all aspects, Cereans resembled humans. Their heads, however, were much larger than a human's, with a cranial cavity that extended up to twenty centimeters above their foreheads. This elongated skull was topped with a flowing knot of hair. Contained within the skull was a binary brain, which gave a Cerean an advanced capacity for thinking and meditation. The biological needs of this second brain were supported in the Cerean physiology by a second heart, which was also protected inside the skull. Because of their cranial structure, many older Cereans suffered from back trouble, after many years of keeping themselves upright while supporting their heads.

As a race, Cereans tended to be isolationists, preferring to live in a low-tech environment away from the bustle of the Old Republic. However, in the last years of the Old Republic, the younger generation of Cereans decided that they wanted to have things that were commonplace in the rest of the galaxy, life starships and speeder bikes. This led to a generational battle that was decided by the Jedi Ki-Adi-Mundi, who managed quell the uprisings. During the height of the Clone Wars, Ki-Adi-Mundi relinquished his watchman role to fellow Cerean Tarr Seirr, but Seirr was called away to fight as well. This left the planet largely unprotected, and both the Republic and the Separatists tried to wrest control of the planet for themselves. In the battles, many Cereans were killed by stray blaster-fire, and the civilian death toll quickly rose beyond one million after Separatist forces destroyed a Republic military base. This led the Cereans to withdraw even further from the galactic community after the Clone Wars ended.

As a people, the Cereans existed in a matriarchalk society that was predicated by the fact that females outnumbered males by a ratio of nearly twenty-to-one. The Cereans came to accept polygamy as a way of life, with males choosing a single bond wife and several honor wives to complete their families. (PTR, IG1, JQ4, SWDB, LFCW, NEGA, DSTR)

Cerean Cone
This cone-shaped pastry was used as an edible bowl for serving various kinds of ice cream. (OWS)

Cerean Council of Elders
This was the name used to describe the body of individuals who supported the planetary president in the rule of the planet Cerea. Membership in the Council of Elders was generally female, a fact that was predicated by the primarily female Cerean population. (NEGA)

Cerebellitis
This was a debilitating condition of the brain that affects many human replica droids that were reprogrammed from their original creation. (SEE)

Ceremony of Jedi Knighthood
This was the ritual promotion of a Jedi Padawan to the rank of Jedi Knight, after the Padawan learned successfully completed the Jedi Trials. The most symbolic event of the ceremony was the severing of the Padawan's braid. (E3N)

Ceremony of the Great Meet
This semi-annual gathering of Ithorians was held on the planet Ithor, during one of the regular Herd Meets. (ECH)

Ceremony of the Waters
A Dro family tradition from Alderaan, which centers around a fountain or other water device. (TEP)

Ceremony of Waters
This Alderaanian ceremony was observed by families during reunions and other family gatherings. The ritual focused the attention of family members on a ceremonial fountain that was located on the family's estate, and serving to remind individuals of the purity, peace, and life-giving qualities of the water. The water symbolized the family itself, flowing through time with each successive generation. The Ceremony of Waters was led by the family leader, who passed out colored glasses and bowls to each family member in attendance. Each family member filled their vessel with water and set it aside, creating a rainbow of water-filled glass. The family leader then began to hum a soft melody, then washed their hands in the waters of the fountain. At a signal from the leader, other family members then washed their hands, allowing the water to flow over the front and back of each hand. After drying off their hands, the family passed around the water-filled glasses, taking a sip from each as they recited words that described the peace, purity, and life-giving qualities of the water. In this way, the family reaffirmed its belief in itself. (DIV)

Cerenia System
One of the primary systems along the Harrin Trade Corridor, Cerenia was located between the Brevost and Lazerian Systems. (TSK)

Cerilian
Kabul Industries worked to sign a trade agreement with this corporation, during the early years of the New Republic. (T3)

Cerillium
This metallic compound was often used in droid plating, especially for droids designed for combat. It had a dark, lustrous appearance. (OS)

Cerise
This was the Fia word for the color red. (FH1)

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

Cerlin
This was a lustrous, silver fabric used in the creation of gowns on the planet Naboo. (VD3)

Cerlyk
This was a common name among the Kushiban race. (UANT)

Certainty
This Imperial Star Destroyer was one of the warships that was refueling at Bannistar Station, when a group of rebels led by Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa tried to destroy the station, some nine months after the Battle of Yavin. After capturing Skywalker and the Princes, Commander D'vox planned transport his prisoners back to Coruscant aboard the Star Destroyer, hoping to curry favor with the Emperor for delivering them for interrogation. However, before the ship could complete its refueling stop, Deena Shan dropped a thermal detonator into an open fuel cell, during her attempt to escape from Rishyk. The thermal detonator sank deep into the fuel cell and went off, and the resulting explosion tore the Certainty apart, and badly damaged a large portion of Bannistar Station. The firestorm spread to other ships and fuel tanks around the station, forcing every ship that was docked to break off their refueling operations and flee before they were also caught in the destruction. (SWRSV)

Cerulian, Thame
This famed Jedi Master took a young Dooku as his Padawan learner, just after Dooku turned thirteen, some sixty-eight years before the Clone Wars. Master Cerulian was an expert in Jedi history, and he also spent a portion of his time researching the ancient Sith artifacts found beneath the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. As a member of the Jedi Council, Master Cerulian believed that the Sith were not extinct, as many of his contemporaries did, but that the Sith would return eventually. Master Cerulian once confided to Jedi Master Yoda that Dooku was the gifted Padawan he had ever seen, let alow trained. It was later believed that some of Master Cerulian's interest in the Sith was imparted to Dooku, who eventually became the Sith Lord known as Darth Tyranus. (LOJ, YDR, EGF)

Ceryc
This Mandalorian word translated into Basic as "pointed." (OWS)

Cesa
This game was popular among the Gorothite people. Played by two individuals, cesa used an ornate checkerboard formed from ten squares on a side. The rules centered on the ways in which individual pieces could move about the board, were relatively simple. However, to play the game well required a lifetime dedication to learning the game's nuances. Cesa playing, for most Gorothites, ranged from a a hobby to an obsession. (GSE)

Cesk
This was a common name among Quarren females. It meant "singing". (GCG)

Cesta
This was the traditional Gungan military staff, which had a cup built into the top of the staff to accommodate a small energy ball. In addition to using the staff itself as a club or blocking device, Gungan warriors can fling small energy balls nearly 100 meters. The drawback to the cesta's distance was that it's not very accurate. (IG1)

Cesta Security Droid
Produced by Ord Cestus during the last decades of the Old Republic, these were the most sophisticated non-military droid produced by Cestus Cybernetics for public usage. These droids employed Gabonna memory crystals for storage and power, making them more capable than even the most advanced combat droids. (TCD)

Cestian
This was the name given to the ancient Spider People, who were among the first sentient beings to establish a civilization on the planet Ord Cestus. It later became a more generic term that referred to any being who was native to the planet Ord Cestus. The human Cestians were primarily descendant of the prisoners who were once incarcerated on the planet. Like the native X'Ting, many of these humans were exploited by the founders of Cestus Cybernetics. (HIV, TCD)

Cestus
This was the X'Ting name for their homeworld, which became known to the Old Republic as Ord Cestus. (HIV)

Cestus Cybernetics
This huge automaton producer was based on the planet Ord Cestus. It was originally formed by a group of Industrial Automaton engineers who had been imprisoned on Ord Cestus for a variety of crimes. Among their duties was the excavation of caves and mines, and they discovered that Ord Cestus had a wealth of mineral and metal resources that would perfectly suit a droid manufacturing facility. After bribing their prison guards and acquiring backing from the warden and many other individuals, the engineers managed to create the facility that became Cestus Cybernetics. The corporation got its start by subcontracting to the Baktoid Armor Workshop, but eventually grew large and wealthy enough to break off on its own. Over time, Cestus Cybernetics virtually enslaved the native X'Ting, forcing them to work as miners and diggers to extract the ores that were needed for production. It was believed that Cestus Cybernetics was behind the Great Plague that nearly wiped out the X'Ting a century before the Clone Wars, as a way to quell the growing unrest among the X'Ting laborers. Despite these theories - many of which were later proven true - Cestus Cybernetics became known as the galaxy's primary producers of the most advanced, non-military security droids. It purchased a wealth of high-end, military-grade manufacturing equipment, and retooled its lines to utilize some of the more exotic and proprietary technologies. As the Clone Wars began, Cestus Cybernetics allied itself with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, supplying parts and droids for the Separatist forces. The rapid pace of droid development led Cestus Cybernetics to produce the first bio-droids, which were based on a "living circuit" design that allowed droids to learn about and anticipate an opponent's moves. These bio-droids were designated as JK-series security droids, although with programming changes they could be modified to become combat droids. Their ability to anticipate their opponent's actions earned them the nickname "Jedi Killers". Cestus Cybernetics was able to sell these high-tech automatons because, ostensibly, the corporation was a part of the original prison facility, allowing the corporation to operate under a corrections license. However, Doolb Snoil eventually discovered that Cestus Cybernetics had purchased the lands on which they built their facilities with synthstones. This constituted an illegal deviation from the Coruscant Accords, and rendered the purchase invalid. (HIV, TCD)

Cestus Penitentiary
This was the name of the prison facility established by the Old Republinc on the planet Ord Cestus, some 300 years before the Battle of Geonosis and the onset of the Clone Wars. (TCD)

Cetajan Mountains
This massive range of rugged mountains was located on the planet Kesh. The Cetajan chain ran for miles along the coastline, and seemed to have been cleaved from the mainland. One side of the chain was dominated by sheer cliffs that plunged thousands of feet. The other side was formed from the rugged slopes of the individual mountains. This combination made the Cetajan Mountains all but impossible to climb. The ancient Sith vessel Omen crashed into the Cetajan Mountains, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Over the millennia that followed, the Sith came to refer to these mountains as the Takara Mountains. (LTS2, FJ2)

Cetajan Range

Originally a native of Sellasas, Cex watched as the Alliance wiped out a village of his people in an effort to destroy the Imperial garrison on the planet. Cex was rescued by Amara Jedselk, who eventually gave him the name of Tyionsis Cex. Amara's father offered Cex the chance to serve the Empire and strike back at the Alliance, and Cex readily agreed. He became an Imperial bounty hunter, and faithfully served the commands of Jedselk and Tremayne. (GG10)

CF9 Crossfire
This starfighter was developed by Incom Industries for the Galactic Alliance, more than 100 years after the Galactic Civil War. The design of the CF9 was based on two of Incom's more successful vessels, the T-65 X-Wing and the Z-95 Headhunter. Despite the design history of those two ships, the CF9 had its two sets of wings mounted at the front of the fuselage. The forward set was fixed in a horizontal position, with laser cannons at each wingtip. The rearward set was movable, and could be folded in for maneuverability, or deployed vertically during combat. Each rearward wingtip was also armed with a laser cannon. The combat arrangement gave the fighter its designation as the Crossfire, as it allowed the four laser cannons to be arrayed in a wider, cross-shaped pattern. (SWLB)

Cha, Wyrpuuk
This Yuuzhan Vong commander was placed in charge of the force which was dispatched to Borleias to retake the planet, in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. The Yuuzhan Vong Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, placed Wyrpuuk Cha in this position to shame Domain Kraal, which had failed to hold Borleias against the weakened New Republic fleet that was fleeing Coruscant. Unfortunately for Wyrpuuk Cha and his small fleet, the ambush they had laid for the Republic forces at Borleias was broken by the sudden appearance of the Super-class Star Destroyer Lusankya, which tore his ship to pieces. Wyrpuuk Cha and many of his crew were vented into the vacuum of space, where they later died. (EL1)

Chad
The blue-white star that was the center of the Chad System (GG4)

Chad
Primary planet in the Chad system, and fourth from the star Chad, it was the homeworld of the Chadra-Fan race. The planet's environment was mainly based on water, with a few mountains and swamps thrown in for good measure. This makes the planet generally inhospitable. During a great storm, the planet was rocked with tectonic shifting, and a series of Great Waves swept the life from the swamps. This nearly destroyed the planet's primary native race, the Chadra-Fan, but they managed to survive in the mountains. The Chadra-Fan histories document at least five Great Waves, the last of which struck just ten years before the Battle of Yavin. In Queen of the Empire, Chad was a planet of rolling hills and farmland, and supports an extensive dairy industry. It had 9 moons which continually pull tides in a complex swirl of currents around the planet. The average day on Chad lasted 20 standard hours, and its year encompasses 380 local days. Note that Children of the Jedi denotes this world as Chad III. (E4, SCRE, QE, GG4, SWJ10)

Chado's Pub
Located in the city of Ariana, on Garos IV, this pub catered to the Imperial forces which occupied the city after the Battle of Endor. Despite this fact, or perhaps because of it, the underground resistance in Ariana used the pub as a place to exchange information. The pub was later destroyed by the explosion of a thermal detonator during the Imperial evacuation of Ariana. Jaalib Brandl claimed the blast was caused by the rebellion, but Alex Winger later discovered that Brandl himself destroyed it, in an attempt to restore his standing with the Empire. (SWJ12, OWS)

Chadra
According to Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina, this was the homeworld of the Chadra-Fan race. (TME)

Chadra-Fan
This was the native language of the Chadra-Fan race. (ANT)

Chadra-Fan
A race of small, humanoid rodents native to Chad, the Chadra-Fan were distinguished by their large ears, flat noses with four nostrils, and their ability to discern seven senses. In addition to the normal sense of sight, touch, taste, sound, and smell, Chadra-Fan individuals were able to see into the infrared spectrum, and had a chemoreceptive sense of smell. Because of their two senses of smell, Chadra-Fan relied heavily on smell as a guide and influence. The larger of their four nostrils detected water-soluble odors, while the inner two nostrils contained specialized chemoreceptors. The sense of smell was the primary method by which Charda-Fan individuals identified males and females.

Because of the large number of tidal waves that have torn Chadra-Fan society apart over the millennia, they had an innate fear of death by drowning, and often the mere threat of drowning threw a Chadra-Fan into shock. They also lacked any sense of permanence, a cultural phenomenon that led many Chadra-Fan to become overly adventurous, often to the point of insanity.

As a people, the Chadra-Fan maintained a clan-based society in which interclan marriages were welcomed. The wedded couple was then "added" to the smaller clan, thus increasing the clan's size. Each clan was essentially leaderless, with each member taking an active role in leading the clan.

Individual Chadra-Fan lived to be just forty years of age, a result of their environment and their high metabolic rates. They communicated with each other through a series of high-pitched, squeaking tones, some of which were above the normal range of hearing for most humanoids. Because much of their speech was dependent upon the pitch of a tone, those Chadra-Fan with hearing problems were often atr a disadvantage. Note that Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina indicates that the Chadra-Fan were from the planet Chadra. (E4, SCRE, TME, GG4, NEGA)

Chadus
This was the alias used by Arbian J. Lemmeloth when he was apprehended while trying to tail Besany Wennen, during the height of the Clone Wars.

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

Chaf Exalted
This was the flagship of the Chaf family, serving the Chiss during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Aristocra Chaf'orm'bintrano used the Chaf Exalted when he intercepted Force Command Thrawn, just after Thrawn managed to defeat the Vagaari and destroy the crew of the Outbound Flight project. (OF)

Chaf'ees'aklaio

She met with Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker aboard the Chaf Envoy an Crustai, just before they set out to locate the ruins of the Outbound Flight Project. She preferred to be called by her core name, Feesa. (SQ)

Chagri
This was the native language of the Chagrian race. (GMR10)

Chagrian
This species of well-muscled humanoids, characterized by their unique skull structure, was native to the planet Champala. The average Chagrian was stood two meters tall, and was distinguished by their pale, bluish skin. Their faces were quite fierce in appearance, although they were known to be very loyal and trustworthy. Two large horns sprouted from the front of the skulls of the males, and the bone structure which supported them gave the Chargian an enlarged forehead. These horns were originally used in the quest for a mate, as males would fight each other in order to win a female. All Chagrians had a pair of thick, pointed lobes - known as lethorn - that emerged from their jowls and draped forward, often falling across their chest.

The tongue of a Chagrian was forked, giving the impression that the race might have evolved from reptilian stock. Because they lived in constant proximity to Champala's saltwater oceans, most Chagrians lacked any sense of taste, a trait that grew worse as an individual aged. Thus, many Chagrians came to rely on their sense of smell instead. (IG1, SWDB, YDR, NEGA)

Chahis
This Serp was one of the many warriors who were loyal to King S'Shah, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Chahis was part of the group which intercepted Luke Skywalker, Cinda Tarheel, and Berl when they arrived on Serphidi to discuss the Serps' support of the Alliance. (MC64)

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

Chak'ka
This young Wookiee, a member of the Palsaang clan, was adopted by Vilmarh Grahrk during the height of the Clone Wars. Chak'ka spent a great deal of time with Grahrk, helping the Devaronian fly his ship, the Inferno. Chak'ka managed to pick up the Devaronian's strange speech mannerisms, which were reflected in his own language. He was reunited with his grandfather, Gumbaeki, when Grahrk helped to cover Gumbaeki's retreat during a mission to free the Wookiees of the Palsaang clan. Because he felt that Chak'ka was a child's name, this Wookiee chose to be known simply as Chak, a nickname that was quickly adopted by Grahrk.

It was discovered by Quinlan Vos that Chak'ka had been providing secret hyperspace routes - known only to the Claatuvac Guild - to Grahrk as a way to repay the Devaronian for his aid to the Palsaang clan, unaware that Grahrk was then turning around and selling the information to the highest bidders. Chak was also able to discover some new hyperspace routes on his own, which he also provided to Grahrk. When Vos revealed that the Separatists who were attacking Kashyyyk were using these routes, and were looking to discover more of them, Chak quickly apologized. Both he and Vos were then surprised to hear Grahrk take the blame.

In the chaos that ensued after Order 66 was executed, Chak managed to rescue Master Vos from certain death at the hands of Bogey 1212, but was unable to carry him back to Grahrk's ship, the Inferno. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Chak went underground to avoid enslavement by the Empire, taking up the role of smuggler in the more remote areas of the galaxy. About 130 years after the Battle of Yavin, Chak had finally come into his own as a smuggler, plying the spacelanes in the modified freighter Grinning Liar. He once loaned his ship to Deliah Blue and Jariah Syn, who had been abandoned by Cade Skywalker several months earlier. When they failed to return the ship, Chak and his partner, Kee, were surprised to run into Skywalker at Rik's cantina on Coruscant.

When Deliah Blue and Jarirah Syn finally returned to Coruscant without the Grinning Liar, Chak would hear none of their stories. Syn offered to give Chak the Mynock in exchange, but Blue refused, and Chak laughed at the deal and demanded something that actually flew. As they were discussing the situation, Morrigan Corde approached and offered them all a chance to work with her to free Cade from the Sith Temple. She invited Chak'ka and Kee to participate, hoping to be able to use their piloting skills and Chak's knowledge of obscure hyperspace routes. (RHE, SWLB, SWLC)

In this dried form, chak-root was so dark in color that it was almost black, and it gave off a noxious smoke when improperly cured. When chewed, chak-root caused a chemical reaction that turned the saliva a deep red color. A group of daring entrepreneurs even tried to create a form of liqueur from chak-root.

She allowed herself to be injected with thanatizine by Mace Windu, in an effort to arrest the development of the wasp larvae while she and Besh could be transported to a medical facility. Unfortunately, both Chalk and Besh were brutally murdered by Terrel Nakay, who used a dull knife to cut them until they nearly bled to death. Only the arrival of Kar Vastor saved their lives. Vastor himself executed Terrel, then used his connection to the Force to draw out the fever wasps in an attempt to heal their injuries. Only Chalk was healthy enough to survive, and she played a key role in Master Windu's plans to liberate the Korunnai and take control of Pelek Baw. Unfortunately, Chalk was shot in the chest during the initial stages of the taking of Pelek Baw, and died shortly afterward from the injury. Master Windu, upon returning to Coruscant after the ending of the Summertime War, posthumously nominated her for a commission in the Army of the Republic, thereby rendering her eligible for the Medal of Valor for her part in ending the war.

They were especially skilled in the production of proton torpedoes, which made them popular with the New Republic when negotiations on Adumar's future started. Their facility was located hundreds of feet below the surface of the city, and resembled cave-like warrens of rectangular rooms connected by tunnels. The rooms each had a specific task to complete, and the deeper into the warren one went, the closer to the final product one got. At the farthest end of the complex were testing sites.

He fled to H'ratth and went into hiding, until the Miralukan Jedi Noab Hulis found him. Hulis explained that Chamma's other companions were all killed by the Dark Side being, and that Chamma himself was cut off from the Force by the being's strength. Chamma realized that the Force had not deserted him, but that he had abandoned the Force by hiding on H'ratth. Chamma agreed to return to his training, and eventually achieved the rank of Jedi Master. He maintained his residence on H'ratth, but turned it into a Jedi training complex.

The Champion hilt formed from two identical lightsabers that were welded together at the ends. The emitters on each were wide and conical, with the control studs located just below them. This meant that the wielder had to reach outward to activate each blade before or during combat, making the Champion slightly more difficult to use. (JKAP)

Because of this, he kept a small flask of SomnaSkol Red - what he called "liquid courage" - in his pocket. Evan happened to be in the male refresher at the Chancellor Palpatine Spaceport when Jedi Master Yoda entered, disguised as an R2 unit, during his mission to Vjun. Evan was surprised to see the R2 unit enter a stall and start chirping, followed by a security droid that was trying to figure out why an R2 unit was in the refresher.

A naturally beautiful world, Chandrila had two continents surrounded by vast oceans. Located in the Bormea Sector of the Core Systems, it was originally settled during the early years of the Old Republic. Much of its economy was driven by agriculture, an industry which allowed the native Chandrilans to maintain their planet's natural environments. During the final stages of the New Sith Wars, Chandrila was overrun by the Brotherhood of Darkness, but was later freed in the wake of the Battle of Ruusan. Nearly a millennium later, Chandrila became one of the few worlds that openly opposed Emperor Palpatine's New Order. When Mon Mothma defected from the New Order and formed the Alliance, there was no immediate retaliation on Chandrila, although tariffs and taxes grew over the years until the inhabitants began anticipating it. While this was not outwardly a problem, many beings in the galaxy came to resent the Chandrilan's "luck" after the destruction of the planet Alderaan. Even the normally passive Alderaanians who survived the destruction of the homeworld hated the Chandrialans more than any other Core World population, simply because they were spared the warth of the Empire. The birthrate among the native human population was lower than that of the rest of the galaxy, and so children were considered very special to them. According to Rebellion, Chandrila is located in Sesswenna Sector. (DA, SWSB, TB, SWJ3, REB, RSG, HR, CCW, DBPD)

Chara
This was the name adopted by Charsae Saal, after he accepted his death on his homeworld of Dorin. Like a handful of other Baran Do Sages, Charsae Saal agreed to serve their order in the Caverns of the Hidden One, and shed his old life in order to protect the gathered knowledge of the order. After arriving in the caverns, he adopted the name Chara.

(FJ1)

Charal
This Dathomiri Nightsister witch was stranded on the Forest Moon of Endor about 100 years before the Battle of Endor. Her flight from Dathomir caused a great deal of consternation from the other Nightsisters, who placed a death mark on her head. To avoid the death mark, Charal fled to the Moddell Sector of the galaxy, where she ended up on Endor. There, she fell in league with Terak the Marauder. Charal thought Terak was trying to find a way to rule the planet, and wanted to be part of it. She had long, black hair, and wore a tight-fitting set of armor. She also bore a magic ring that allowed her to change her shape at will. She preferred to assume the shape of a raven and scout the forests, but also appeared as a beautiful blond maiden in an effort to capture Cindel Towani. She overheard Cindel singing a song to Noa Briqualon, a song that her mother used to sing. Charal used the song to lure Cindel into her grasp, and took the child to Terak, in an effort to learn the secret of the crystal oscillator. She rides a great black stallion. When Terak ordered the Marauders to recapture the crystal oscillator taken from them by Cindel, he ordered Charal to assume her raven form. However, he also took her magic ring from her, preventing her from changing back into a human and escaping from his power. Unfortunately for Charal, the ring was destroyed - along with Terak - when Wicket destroyed the ring with a stone. Charal was stuck in raven form from then on. (BFE, ISU, GMR9, SWDB)

(TIEP)

Charm Signing
Developed on the planet Coruscant, charm signing was a communication method that uses hand signals. Confined to the wealthier families and, later, those with close ties to the Imperial bureaucracy, charm singing involved a series of hand motions to convey a message. In the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, charm signing was used almost exclusively by supporters of the New Order. Many of the New Republic's supporters feared that it would simply become another way for beings to miscommunicate with each other. (SOC)

Charmath
Site of a vast University dedicated to the study of the galaxy's history. Arhul Hextraphon did some research there into Yoda's background for his work, Official History of the Rebellion, Volume One.

Charny, Kiel
This man was one of Lord Hoth's Generals during the early struggles of the Battle of Ruusan. Charny was originally trained by Master Handa, alongside Githany. Despite overwhelming odds, Lord Charny and his men won several battles at Ruusan. Prior to Ruusan, Charny barely survived a brief affair with Githany, who had turned to the Dark Side of the Force. Only the timely intervention of Valenthyne Farfalla saved Charny's life. It was Lord Charny who brought the youth known as Tomcat into battle, believing that Torr Snapit had bequeathed his lightsaber to the boy. Little did Charny know that Tomcat had stolen the weapon and allowed Snapit to die. Nevertheless, they were forced into battle shortly afterward, but they met a force of Sith warriors that was not led by a single Dark Lord. Charny grew worried about this, seeing a new change in tactics from the Sith. After being bombed and attacked, Charny's forces would have been eliminated if Farfalla hadn't arrived. However, Githany had survived the battle, and faced Charny with her lightwhip. She badly wounded Charny, and would have taken his life if Tomcat hadn't intervened. Unfortunately for Charny, Tomcat had already turned to the Dark Side of the Force, and the youth took Charny's own lightsaber and decapitated him. (JVS, NECH, DBPD)

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

Charon
This was the native language of the Charon race. (RESB)

Charon Battle Armor
This strange body protection system was devised by the Charon bioscientists. It was composed of the same organic stone used to create the starship Desolate, and was powerful and deadly. It can be molded to fit a specific individual, and can be formed into clubs and knives which protrude from the basic armor. Often, a plasma cannon was added to augment the defensive capabilities of the armor. The biosensing technology built into the armor gives it the ability to acquire targets which were obscured by the environment. (OS, OS2)

Charon Bioscientist
This was one of the three basic Charon subspecies. These arachnoids were smaller than their counterparts, the warriors, and have slower reaction. However, they were much more agile than warriors. They were differentiated from the warriors by the brightly-colored cilia that cover their forelegs. The bioscientists have perfected a method for creating biological constructs which lack free will and vitality of other lifeforms. (OS)

Charon Starfighter
This small starship resembles a clump of rock maneuvering through space. The Charon designed these warships from the same biotechnology which created the Desolate. These starfighters have a bulbous main section, with a pair of thick, rounded wings extended outward. They were not capable of entering hyperspace. They were armed with a tri-laser pulse cannon, and have minimal shielding. (OS)

Charon Warrior
This was one of the three Charon subspecies, along with the bioscientists and the Leader, Ber'asco. They were much more like spiders than the others, with eigth legs which can be used as arms or legs. They often travel in an upright position, and their dark exoskeletons allow them to move with stealth in darkened areas. It was the warrior class that had fervently joined the death cult, killing millions of beings on the thousands of worlds in Otherspace. (OS)

Charpp
This man worked as a security officer at the Chancellor Palpatine Spaceport on Coruscant, during the height of the Clone Wars. He was a loyal supporter of the Jedi Order, and wished desparately for the Jedi to involve him in one of their missions. He got his chance some thirty months after the Battle of Geonosis, when he was asked by Jedi Master Maks Leem to allow the Gran and her party - which included Jai Maruk, Whie Malreaux, and Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy - to move through the Chancellor Palpatine Spaceport without being detained. Master Leem calmly explained that it was the Force that made sure Charpp was the officer in their line, so that they could move swiftly through the spaceport with their R2 unit, which was the disguise being used by Yoda. Charpp was more than happy to assist. (YDR)

Charr
This Corellian man served as his homeworld's representative to the Galactic Alliance Senate, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Senator Charr was put into a bad situation when Thrackan Sal-Solo began posturing for Corellian independence, some ten years after the end of the Yuuzhan Vong war. While he may not have agreed with Sal-Solo's motivations, Senator Charr nonetheless was appalled at the way the Galactic Alliance Guard was extraditing Corellian citizens in the name of planetary security. He threatened to withdraw from Coruscant after his calls for investigations into the formation of the GAG were rebuffed by Chief of State Cal Omas, who explained that the GAG was a planetary defense body and not under the jurisdiction of the Senate. Although he was unable to answer this statement, Senator Charr nonetheless gained the support of many Outer Rim Senators who feared that their people would be the next target of the GAG. (LF2)

Charr Ontee
This race of genetically engineered beings was originally created by the Kathol as a servant species. The first Charr Ontee were developed as farmers many millennia before the Galactic Civil War, but were treated as colleagues by the ancient Kathol. The occurrence of the Rift Disaster nearly exterminated the Charr Ontee, and those that survived tried to help DarkStryder protect the Kathol life-energies in the Lifewell. When the Charr Ontee told DarkStryder that it needed to re-awaken the Precursors, DarkStryder banished them. The Charr Ontee became sworn enemies of DarkStryder, living as far from its fortress on Kathol as they could. Although they developed their own civilization over the millennia, the Charr Ontee suffered from genetic degeneration. Despite this, the Charr Ontee became adept in th euse of the Ta-Ree energy, which earned them a position of power over the other species created by the Kathol. The average Charr Ontee was arachnoid in shape, with two pairs of legs amd two pairs of arms. Like spiders, the Charr Ontee possessed spinnerets which exuded a sticky webbing. In many respects, the Charr Ontee resembled the Charon race. When the crew of the FarStar arrived on Kathol to defeat Imperial Moff Sarne and DarkStryder, the Charr Ontee willingly lent their assistance. (E)

Charra
This planet was known for its flavorful varieties of caf. The beans for much of the galaxy's best caf were grown on Charra. (CWNOP)

Charric
This particle-discharge weapon was developed by the Chiss. Outwardly, it resembled a basic blaster rifle, but it emitted a maser-guided beam of particles that caused kinetic and thermal damage to a living being. The impact of a charric blast was also physically more powerful than that of a standard blaster. (VOF, GMR5, DN3)

Charrik
This was the traditional Chiss blaster pistol. (DJ)

Charter, The
This document served as the original working document that defined the Corporate Sector Authority and its purview. It was created to oversee the operations of the CSA, although many outside observers noted that corruption and criminal activity within the CSA dated back to the creation of the Charter itself. Among the many provisions of the Charter was the ability of the CSA to self-monitor its own security. This section was greatly scrutinized by Imperial legal experts, since it allowed the CSA to form its own military force, which acted independent from the Imperial armed forces. (CSA)

Charter, The
This was the document that laid down the basic laws adopted by the Outbound Flight Colony, those beings who survived the destruction of the Outbound Flight Project and their descendants. (SQ)

Chasdy, Baydo
Known simply as "Bay" to his friends, this man was known to be a gambler, con man, swindler, and cheat, not to mention grifter and liar. He readily admitted that he was all these and more, and spent his life looking for new ways to gamble and new women to hit on. He turned himself into a semi-respectable businessman when he purchased the HyperDive Cantina, located in Calamari's Wildwater City, but he rarely was seen at the establishment. He left the day-to-operations to Lliegis'Nevz, his Kian'thar bartender. Unknown to most everyone, Chasdy was also an Alliance Special Operations foster agent, and his regular absence from the HyperDive was due mainly to the rescue and placement of orphaned field agents. He used his personal ship, the Chaser, to move them around. (WSV)

Chase
This was a children's game that was played by the human settlers of the planet Qiilura. (RCTC)

Chase, Lowen
This New Republic starfighter pilot was captured in Kathol Sector by the forces of Moff Sarne, some two years after the Battle of Endor. Chase was a natural leader and was highly qualified as a pilot and tactician. He was imprisoned at Q'Maere, and managed to thwart all efforts at interrogation. Doctor Kraay's efforts to draw out information left Lowen in a near-schizophrenic state, and Lowen developed paranoid and egomaniacal personalities. During his imprisonment, Lowen fell in love with Corla Unser, but both agreed to hold off on forming a lasting relationship until they escaped. Their chance came when the crew of the FarStar put into Q'Maere to restock its food stores. It was Lowen who led the crew to Keleman Ciro's cell, and then helped foment a prison riot which allowed the prisoners and the FarStar's crew to escape from Doctor Kraay. He joined the crew of the FarStar, initially proving to be a leader to the prisoners rescued from Q'Maere. However, his "treatments" while at Q'Maere soon caught up with him, and he became more and more paranoid. He argued constantly with Captain Adrimetrum, and Chase's mental instability grew deeper. When Captain Adrimetrum promoted Scoryn ahead of Chase, his mind snapped and he ordered a full mutiny of the crew and prisoners. The mutiny was successful, but Chase was eventually captured and forced to stand down. Captain Adrimetrum remanded him to the ship's medical facilities in an effort to rehabilitate his mind. (KR)

Chaser
This was the name of Baydo Chasdy's modified YT-1300 transport ship. Bay had the ready section removed in order to mount huge triple-engine power plant, then added a pair of curved plates to the upper hull of the ship, giving an organic appearance. The cockpit of the Chaser was mounted between the forward mandibles, and was round in shape. The ship was armed with a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons and a heavy quad-laser cannon. (WSV)

Chaser
This gorset was a pet of Denel Moonrunner. (SWJ13)

Chaser
This was the callsign of one of the pilots who served in the Black Eight Squadron under Juno Eclipse, during the height of the New Order. Chaser served as the fourth man in the unit, and Eclipse viewed him as a potential candidate to lead the squadron at some point. However, Chaser remained the unit's fourth pilot after Redline was promoted to take over as squadron leader. (TFUN)

Chasers
Located within Exovar's Emporium, on the planet Neftali, this relaxation chamber was known as a "home away from home" for bounty hunters. (WSV)

ChaseX
This version of the Incom T-65XJ5 X-Wing fighter was produced during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, and was used by police forces as a pursuit craft. The ChaseX had specific improvements in speed, maneuverability, and sensor systems that allowed them to better target enemy ships and reach them faster than before. (DN1, LF3)

Chasin
This planet was one of the first to openly declare its support for Corellian independence from the Galactic Alliance, some ten years after the resolution of the Yuuzhan Vong conflict. (LF2)

Chasin City
This was one of the largest cities found on the planet Commenor. It was best-known for its restaurants, which offered the diner an incredible variety of cooking styles and dinig atmospheres. (HNN5)

Chasin Document
This document was essentially a revision of the New Republic's Operation Blue Plug, which was originally devised by Garm Bel Iblis as an invasion plan for taking control of the planet Commenor. Operation Blue Plug was never implemented, because the Commenorians evicted their Imperial oppressors and voluntarily joined the New Republic. The details were never made public, and the documents were stored in secure computer systems.

However, at some point following the Corellia-GA War, the plans were leaked to an unspecified individual, who revised them and provided them to the Commenorians. The receipt of the plans pushed Commenor to side with the Corellians during the conflict, to the point that Commenorian warships joined a Bothan fleet and set out to eliminate the Galactic Alliance's blockade of the Corellian System.

Analysis of the Chasin Document by Tycho Celchu and his wife, Winter, revealed that the document was a virtual duplicate of Bel Iblis' earlier work, except that it took into account the more modern warships that were available to the Galactic Alliance. This gave the Celchus enough reason to keep investigating the document and the original plans, which led to the discovery that a secret piece of programming had been inserted into the GA's computers. This code made regular backups of top secret and classified information, then downloaded it to a remote location. The leaders of the Galactic Alliance had feared that there was an internal security breach, but they were shocked to learn that the offending computer code had been entered into the system by someone with a password that was known only to members of the Galactic Alliance Guard.

Although Jacen Solo initially disputed this discovery, until Tycho Celchu recited the password and Solo found that it was actually a GAG code. (LF4)

Chasm of Perfect Darkness
According to the ancient Tythonians who followed the Ashla principles, the Chasm of Perfect Darkness was a deep, dark canyon that was surrounded on all sides by high, crumbling cliffs and rock walls. The canyon represented the life of an individual, and the crumbling cliff walls represented the darkness that always threatened to fall on top of the individual and bury them. By passing safely through the Chasm of Perfect Darkness, the individual could attain a state of true enlightenment. (FJ3)

Chasm, The
This was one of the seedier cantinas that were located in the city of Gadrin, on the planet Cularin, during the final years of the Old Republic. It was located in an old industrial area near the city's waterfront. As befitting its name, the interior of The Chasm was decorated to look like a limestone cavern, complete with rocky ledges where performers of every persuasion kept the patrons happy. While most patrons sat atop repulsorlift platforms to watch their favorite acts, others could literally climb the walls to get better seats. (FOC2)

Chasmal Spider
This species of arachnid was native to the canyons and rocky escarpments of the planet Dathomir. (SWG2P)

Chassu, Venthan
This Corellian artist was known for his Selonian nudes, which portrayed their sleek, muscular forms while hiding their faces in a representation of their desire for privacy. He was also the artist responsible for Palpatine Triumphant. (TFE)

Chatak, Bol
This female Zabrak served the Jedi Order as a Jedi Master, during the final years of the Old Republic. Master Chatak was dispatched to Murkhana, along with Masters Roan Shryne and Saras Loorne and her own Padawan, Olee Starstone, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. Chatak had originally left Starstone on Coruscant, but the fighting on Murkhana demanded more leaders, and Starstone was sent as well. On Murkhana, Chatak and Shryne both expressed reservations about the Jedi Order's role in the fighting, and their open questioning of Jedi Master Yoda's motivations made Starstone uneasy. When the command came down to execute Order 66, Chatak and the rest of the Jedi found themselves facing the clone commandos of Ion Team. Climber and his men refused to kill the Jedi, allowing them the chance to escape into the forest instead. For their actions, Ion Team was confronted by Darth Vader himself, who cut down two of the clones before Climber could escape. Chatak was among the crowd who witnessed the executions, and couldn't bring herself to stand by while the clones were killed. She ignited her lightsaber and threw off her disguise, and tried to take the Dark Lord down. She managed to inflict a wound to Vader's arm before he forced her back, taking off her sword arm before decapitating her with a sweep of his own lightsaber. Shryne and Starstone could only stand by and watch in mute horror, clamping down on their connections to the Force in order to escape. (RDV)

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

Chateuse VII
This planet's population was fragmented into several warring factions. It applied to the fledgling New Republic for help in resolving the on-going disputes, and Leia Organa was dispatched on a fact-finding mission to the planet. (GMH)

Chatham House
This was the name of Bail Organa's residence in Imperial City, while he lived on Coruscant, during the era of the New Order. Senator Organa held many secret meetings here, with Mon Mothma and other Senators who opposed the rule of Emperor Palpatine, paving the way for the formation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. (XW, XWP)

Chatos Academy
Little was known of this ancient organization, whose name was coaxed from crumbling history disks found during the height of the Old Republic. Many historians and scholars believed that the Chatos Academy was one of the original incarnations of the Jedi Order, although no evidence was ever found to support this claim. The students and teachers of the Chatos Academy were known as paladins, a fact that further supported the belief that this entity influenced the original Jedi Knights. (PJSB, NECH)

Chatrunis, Larisselle
This twenty-three-year-old Pa'lowick female was crowned "Miss Coruscant", in a beauty pageant held on the city-planet just before the onset of the Clone Wars. She was a native of the Jrade District at the time. Her fame proved to be short-lived, however, when the anti-alien policies of the New Order were instituted by Emperor Palpatine. In response, Larisselle joined the growing rebel Alliance, using her career as a singer to tour the galaxy, passing information from cell to cell as she traveled. It was during this time that many music critics and reporters started writing about her "rivalry" with Sy Snootles, despite the fact that no such rivalry existed. Larisselle allowed the perceived competition to exist in the press, since it helped cover up her work for the Alliance.

In the wake of the Galactic Civil War, she returned to Lowick and retired from military duty. (HNN5, NEGA)

Chatterbox
This was the nickname used by Clone Captain Lock to describe clone trooper CT-5177. The nickname was ironic, because CT-5177 was known among his squad mates for his quite and taciturn demanor, and he rarely spoke unless spoken to by a commanding officer. Their unit discovered the wreckage of the Malevolence on a barren moon in the Kaliida Nebula, but they were apprehended by a battle droid that had survived the crash. The droid used its blaster to fire a stream of bolts at the clones, and one of the bolts managed to catch Chatterbox in the chest. The others feared that he was dead, but Captain Lock quickly found that Chatterbox was still alive. The other clones transported him back to the Demolisher, where he was able to recover from his injuries. It was during his recovery that Chatterbox received his new nickname. The clones serving under Captain Lock were then assigned to Jedi Master Ring-Sol Ambase, who was leading the investigation into the appearance of KynachTech Industries circuitry aboard the Malevolence. Their ship was attacked by Separatist forces when it reached Kynachi, and Chatterbox was forced to abandon ship with Breaker, Knuckles, and Nuru Kungurama, who had stowed away on the ship. (SM1)

Chatty
A smuggler acquaintence of Oso Nim's, Chatty had a false eye that was yellowing with age. (COJ)

Chattza
This Rodian clan was noted as being extremely violent. Chattza became the dominant clan when Navik the Red rose to power, and few individuals dared to oppose their right to rule. The Chattza clan nearly eliminated the Tetsus clan, which fled twice to escape the oppression and violence of the Chattza rulers. Over time, the Chattza Rodians began to divorce themselves from the traditions of their forefathers, instead choosing to leave behind their own legacy. (TME, SPG, OWS)

Chattza Bay
This inlet of the Ioliu Sea was located on the coast of Iskaayuma, on the planet Rodia. (SPG)

Cha'wen'he
An unusual alien race native to the planet Wen'he'dinae, the Cha'wen'he resemble large, wingless birds. The simiarity ends there, for they have three sinuous necks supporting three small heads. Two heads face forward, while the thrid faces the rear. All of the creature's main sensory ograns were located in these heads. The heads can be retracted into the body, allowing the Cha'wen'he to protect them in adverse conditions. Their hides were covered in overlapping rows of scale which can be raised to allow the underlying skin to cool. They were highly intelligent, capable of solving complex puzzles and situations. However, the average Cha'wen'he was nervous and excitable, a trait evolved from their constant vigilance against their homeworld's various predators. They live in flocks, and have the rare ability to assume a species memory. The mother had the ability to pass on skills and memories to its offspring, and these skills can awaken naturally over time. (GG12)

Chawix
This plant, native to the world of Ansion, was a predatory species which presented a danger to any warm-blooded species on the planet. The lightweight stalk of the chawix was propelled along the ground by the constant winds which swept across Ansion, and groups of chawix appeared to be simply entwined branches. However, when a chawix detected a warm-blooded creature, it untangled itself from the mass and altered its form to be propelled toward the prey. Instead of bouncing off the prey, the chawix would extend doznes of thorns from its stem, using them to dig into the prey and exude a toxin poison. This poison liquified the body of its prey, and the chawix simply sucked up the resulting miasma. (APS)

Chawkroft
This Imperial noble Lady was a member of the Imperial Correctional Facilities Ministry. She was a special projects consultant, and worked with Ilm Vaz-Weplinn on the design and construction of the Stars' End facility. Her appointment to the role came after the untimely death of her superior, and the relationship the organization had with other branches of the Corporate Sector Authority showed a marked improvement after she took over. The only major problem she encountered was a strong resistance from Sate Pestage over the construction of Stars' End. She negotiated with the Corporate Sector Authority to franchise Stars' End for Imperial use, and worked to finialize details on the stasis booths and the overall Stars' End blueprints. (CSA)

Chayaikir
This Mandalorian verb meant "to tease" or "to make fun of," when translated into Basic. This verb was used whenever an individual was joking with a friend or family member, as the word did not indicate more hostile mocking. (OWS)

Chaz was forced to leave her behind in order to return to the main Republic fleet and warn them about the Imperial presence in the area. (TFE)

Chaz, Travis
This burly, aging man was the barkeeper of The Pit, located within the Elrood Starport, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Many believed he was a former Jedi Knight, while others thought him to be a former Old Republic Senator, but in reality he was just a bartender who had a wide-reaching network of informants. (PG3)

Chazrach
This species of stocky, reptilian humanoids had been conquered and enslaved by the Yuuzhan Vong centuries before the Battle of Yavin. Over the intervening years, the Chazrach were genetically culled for use as slaves. They were intensely loyal, and several Chazrach had earned social elevation to the warrior caste for their bravery in combat. Quite often, the Yuuzhan Vong sent in swarms of Chazrach as the first wave of a ground assault, as they did during the Battle of Dantooine. This allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to monitor the tactics of the enemy forces, thereby saving the strength of the Yuuzhan Vong warriors in the succeeding waves. Many members of the New Republic simply referred to these creatures as reptoids. (DTR, WOA13, NJOSB)

Chazwa
This was the name of the primary planet in the Chazwa System, which orbited a white dawrf star. Located in the Orus sector, Chazwa was chosen by Grand Admiral Thrawn as a false source of the clones he used to man his warships. Thrawn hoped to thrown off the New Republic's pursuit of the clones, forcing them to draw more resource away from the war. (TLC)

She often used physical means to remove unwanted beings from the chambers were patients were kept, in order to ensure that her patients were not disturbed during their convalescence. Master Che attended to the injuries suffered by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis. She nearly caused a political incident when Senator Padme' Amidala visited the Jedi Temple and asked to see Anakin in the Halls of Healing.

Chedak Communications
Although Chedak was best known for its shipboard subspace radios, it also produced personal comlinks and holoprojectors for a wide range of applications. Chedak made a fortune by selling communications equipment to the entertainment industry, but floundered when the New Order was instituted and the Empire clamped down on the media. Rather than accept defeat, Chedak's leadership branched out into the field of news reporting, covering the front lines of battlefields during the early years of the New Republic. (SCRE, EGW, NEGW)

Chedaki
This man served the Alliance as a Captain in the naval forces. Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, Captain Chedaki accompanied Leia Organa to the Shiva System, to investigate an increase in Imperial traffic in the sector.

Benwick had spent fifteen years of his life in the Hapan Navy, only to have his entire squadron destroyed at the Battle of Fondor. He hated the fact that Tenel Ka was involved in the destruction of his troops, and so he deserted his posting and took up the life of a pirate. After admitting his desertion to the Yuuzhan Vong, he was nearly killed by Khalee Lah, but Harrar made the warrior hold back, hoping to use Benwick's knowledge of Hapes to capture Jaina Solo.

Kiro Chen believed that the only way to prevent the loss of another world to the Empire's power was to overthrow Emperor Palpatine. However, when he was introduced to Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker, Kiro was forced to answer questions about his activities on Delaya. Luke especially wanted to know how Kiro could have been working for the betterment of the galaxy, but had no knowledge of the atrocious living conditions that Alderaanian refugees were being forced to accept on Delaya. Leia made Luke back down from his questioning, but Halle Dray took his place in berating Kiro, slapping him in the face for his role in sending Alderaanians to the deaths in the fight against the Empire. When they later learned that Halle had secretly contacted the Empire in an attempt to turn Leia over to the Imperial forces on Delaya, Kiro tried to convince Leia to move the location of an upcoming meeting of Alliance sympathizers. She agreed to the plan, as well as a separate plan to have Luke and Han Solo remain at the original location, hoping to capture any traitors or spies who were living among the refugees. While hiding, Luke was surprised to find that he recognized Kiro's voice as being that of a man he had overheard arguing with Halle, giving Luke the knowledge that Kiro had been lying about his standing with the refugees. Once discovered, Kiro tried to use Leia as a hostage to make his escape, and had to be rescued by the thugs who were working for him. When Leia regained consciousness in the back of a speedertruck, she realized that Kiro had been planning to capture her all along, pretending to be an Alliance recruiter in order to be in position if she ever arrived on Delaya. Han Solo later learned from Mazi that Kiro and Halle were romantically involved with each other, and showed them the location of the abandoned schoolhouse in which they held their secret meetings. Unfortunately, the Imperial forces on Delaya who were to meet with Halle and the refugees were given orders to capture the Princess and eliminate any resistance. Driscoll and Trey Bruhnej were killed while trying to defend their hiding place, and both Nahj and Halle were shot and killed when the Imperial burst into the abandoned schoolhouse and demanded that the Princess be turned over to them. Leia was taken captive, but she gave Kiro an opportunity to make his own escape by giving the Imperial false information about his location. Han Solo and Luke Skywalker found Kiro many minutes later, curled into a ball and weeping over Halle's death. He told them that Leia was still alive, and agreed to get them in contact with Deputy Prime Minister Var Lyonn, who knew where Leia was being taken. Kiro was surprised when Leia later refused to hold him accountable for what happened, and accepted her sympathies for the loss of Halle Dray. Kiro decided to remain on Delaya, rather than join the Alliance, hoping that he could take the place of Halle and J'er Nahj in rallying the Alderaanians to fight against the oppression of the Empire.

Chenachochan
This was one of the largest tree-cities found on the planet Kashyyyk, during the early years of the New Order. (RDV)

Chenati, Tarrence
This man was a former Old Republic operative to worked for the Senate as a spy and investigator. He was listed as having died some thirty years before the Battle of Naboo. At that time, Tarrance Chenati became one of the Senate's "no-names," and his identity was retired. It was reactivated twenty years later when the Senate needed someone to investigate the starfighter training facility established by the Jedi Knights on Centax 2. The identity was discovered by Tahl and Qui-Gon Jinn when they discovered he was trying to sabotage Clee Rhara's starfighters in such a way as to frame her for the destruction. Clee Rhara was cleared of any crime when Chenati fled Centax 2, during Tahl's investigation. Chenati resurfaced twelve years later, serving aboard the starship BioCruiser under the No-Name alias Kern. (JAD)

Chenini
This was the smallest, and outermost, of Tatooine's three moons. It had a highly elliptical orbit, with its apogee occurring more than four million miles from the the planet. This meant that Chenini was very rarely in view, and was often overlooked by early scouts and explorers. The orbit was regular enough, though, that the indigenous Jawas and Sandpeople monitored its progress to ensure the corrent timing of many rituals and gatherings. (SWI62)

Chenlambec
This silver-tipped brown Wookiee was one of the few who lived off the planet Kashyyyk during the New Order. He was forced to flee his homeworld after killing an Imperial officer who was beating a Wookiee child. Known as fierce and unrelentling, he was a bounty hunter and tracker by trade who only took dead-or-alive assignments and usually brought back proof of the deceased. Under this guise, many of the bounties which had 'escaped' him were secretted away on Alliance safeworlds. Chen - as he was called by his friends - was referred to as "the Raging Wookiee" to other Hunters. Chenlambec worn a bandoleer of black reptile skin, possibly as a warning to Trandoshans who would try to kill him for sport. He later befriended Tinian I'att and became her ng'rhr, taking her in as his apprentice. The two worked well together, saving each other's life many times while strengthening their friendship. They worked together for the chance to hunt down the Trandoshan Bossk, and eventually formed a loose relationship with the reptile during the hunt for Han Solo following the Battle of Hoth. (TBH, SWJ6, SWJ10)

Chepat
Manufacturers of starship shielding systems. (IJ)

Chepatite
An impact explosive. (TFE)

Cheran, Viera
This woman was known to the members of Rogue Squadron as "Chief" during the last years of the Galactic Civil War. She served as the squadron's chief technician, and was stationed on the moon of Kile shortly after the Battle of Hoth. There, she ensured that the squadron was ready for the attempt to recover Han Solo's body from Boba Fett. It was during this time that she was approached by an operative who offered her 10,000 credits to ensure Luke Skywalker was killed. Cheran took the bribe, but her efforts to sabotage his X-Wing failed to result in his death. (SESB, RESB)

Cherek
This was the first combination symbol in the Aurebesh script, and represents the Basic combination "ch". (SWM)

Cherenkov Effect
This was the name given to the unusual blue fire which engulfed a location which had been attacked by anti-matter or nuclear weapons. The blue flames were actually hard radiation being ejected from the remains of the blast. (MC53)

Cherfer
This dim-witted yet vicious herd predator was native to the deserts of the planet Elom. Measuring up to 1.5 meters tall at the shoulder, cherfers were born aggressive and continue to become meaner as they mature. Cherfers were equine in stature, with muscular bodies covered by rough, brought-colored fur. Their heads were dominate by elongated snouts which were covered by a bony plate that continues to grow as the cherfer ages. They hunt in groups known as vlaktors by the Elomin, taking down their prey in a swift stampede. (SOP, COG)

Cherioer
This Wookiee was one of many free beings who were wanted by the Empire for rebellious activity. A 25,000-credit bounty was placed on Cherioer's head, established because of his assistance to the Alliance throughout Zaric Sector during the Galactic Civil War. It was believed that Cherioer agreed to transport Malindin Gevarak away from Imperial entanglements, further deepening the bounty on his head. (GG10)

Cherishites
This was the name of a quasi-religious sect which settled the planet Rhamalai some 400 years before the Battle of Yavin. They believed in living simply, in harmony with the planet. Subsequent generations established laws to protect those beliefs. The original 500 colonists were considered dissidents of the Old Republic, and chose to settle only a small part of Rhamalai as an experiment in communal living. After the advent of the New Order, they began working toward establishing a planetary government, but their efforts were cut short when the Empire first established an outpost on the planet. Shortly afterward, Rhamalai was subjugated, and one male from each family was conscripted into Imperial service. (SWJ13)

Cheriss
This was one of the most common names given to female Corellians. (GMR9)

Cherit
This small-time thug was a local gang boss on the moon Bador, during the years following the Swarm War, until he was killed in a firefight at the Paradise Cantina by the Mandalorian known as Jaing Skirata. Boba Fett and his granddaughter, Mirta Gev, investigated Cherit's murder while trying to locate the Mandalorian, in the hope that he might be able to help cure Fett's degenerative condition. In his heyday, Cherit trafficked everything from rak and Ixetallic to Twi'lek dancing girls. (LF5)

Chersilk
This soft, supple fabric was used to create robes and dresses on the planet Naboo. The color of the chersilk often held special meaning. For instance, purple chersilk was only used to create mourning robes. (VD3)

Cheruban Glach
This creature was raised as a racing animal. Might this a typo, and actually refers to a creature that was native to Charubah? (LF9)

Chesea
This female Ewok fell in love with, and later married, Leektar. Their marriage was a happy and productive one, as Chesea blessed Leektar with three strong Woklings. However, Chesea and her children were later killed in the fire that destroyed Red Bush Grove. (SWDB)

Cheska lopey x'hoo pumba?
This phrase from the Huttese language was often heard on cruise ships. It translated into Basic as "Are there good drinks on board?" (GPB)

Chesko, Tem
A cargo hauler whose ship was hit by an asteroid and disabled in the depths of space. He had no companionship for almost ten years before discovering the droid MILL-247-EE onboard. She kept his mind off the woman he loved, and together they drifted through space until they found a habitable planet. There, Chesko grew old and withered. MILL-247-EE kept him company, and when his heart gave out, she donated her own mechanical heart to him. (GAL3)

Chesko yo ho kimbabaloomba?
This Huttese phrase was often heard in restaurants. It translated into Basic as "Do you offer vegetarian cuisine?" (GPB)

Chessa
This companion of Dirk Harkness was killed by Imperial stormtroopers on Kelada, during the height of the New Order. Chessa and Harkness had been working for Captain Granf at the time. When they arrived on Kelada, Chessa had planned to make a special delivery to a customer, then join Harkness for dinner. The stormtroopers demanded to know what was in the crates she was moving around. When Chessa drew her blaster, the Imperials believed she was part of a rebel cell, and opened fire on Chessa and her companions. Chessa and Dirk had formed a loving relationship over the years, and she often sang songs for him. Her death hardened Dirk's resolve to punish the Empire, and he struck out at Imperial forces any way he could. (SWJ1, TFNR, OWS)

Chessile Street
This roadway was located in the capital city of the planet Barlok. (OF)

Chester
This dim-witted Rodian was a constant company to Gorm Maldorf, playing the perfect patsy to Gorm's machinations on the planet Tatooine during the height of the New Order. He followed from settlement to settlement, as the gruff young man swindled credits from the teenagers before being run out of town. Among Gorm's many tricks was challenging another youth to a swoop race inside a metal cage. Before the race, Gorm would string a thin wire across the cage, which would inevitably trip up another racer. In this way, Gorm always won his races, at least until his ruse was discovered. According to local legend, Gorm once challenged Luke Skywalker to a race, but was undone by his own plans. During the set-up of the cage, Gorm was inadvertently strangled by Chester. Chester had been helping him string the wire, and yanked hard before Gorm could let go. The wire wrapped around Gorm's next, and dragged him into the cage supports. Although probably dead when he hit the bars, Gorm's skull was crushed by the blow, and he died instantly. Chester tried to blame Gorm's death on Luke, but Luke managed to expose the truth. Although Chester denied everything, the length of wire was found in his speeder, and Chester fled into the desert. (T20)

Chestrashi
This was a race of ruthless beings with a passion for biological warfare. (GFT)

Cheunh
This was the dense, grammatically difficult language of the Chiss. Written forms of Cheunh did not have defined alphabet, using individual ideograms to represent concepts and combinations of images to represent complex ideas. While it was generally believed that other races could learn the Cheunh language, very few races could pronounce it correctly. Many linguists wondered whether the complexity of the Cheunh language was simply an evolutionary fact, or whether the Chiss kept it intentionally difficult to ensure that other races could not understand them. (GMR5, OF, NEGA)

Chev
This was a dialect of the Chevin language, developed for use by the near-human Chevs who inhabited the planet Vinsoth. It gained a following when individual Chevs started thinking about rebelling against their Chevin masters, as a way to communicate without being discovered. (UANT)

Chev
This humanoid race was native to the planet Vinsoth, but they were subjugated by the Chevin. They resembled pale-skinned, violet-eyes humans, but there were many physical differences to pure human stock. Chief among them was the fact a Chev had two hearts. Also known as Chevin Humanoids, Chevs were known to live as long as 300 years. In order to distinguish between individual Chevs, their Chevin masters often dyed the short, coarse hair of their Chev slaves to indicate ownership. The average Chev had nimble fingers and a muscular body, which made them ta perfect slave stock. Chevs also had the ability to learn complex technologies, and many were well-educated by the Chevin to keep them happy and useable. The Chev race had been enslaved for so long that most forget the reasons for their enslavement and simply accept it. However, with the pro-human stance of the Empire, recent generations began looking for ways to defeat their Chevin masters. Some Chevs even left Vinsoth to pursue careers in business elsewhere. These Chevs were respected in their circles, and seemed confident to their brethren. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Chev population began to accept the help of offworlders in their efforts to defeat their Chevin masters, hoping to gain their independence. (GG12, UANT)

Cheva
This woman was a member of the small research team assembled by the Separatists to assist Ovolot Qail Uthan in her development of a nanovirus that would kill the clones of the Grand Army of the Republic. Cheva and the rest of her team were held hostage by Ghez Hokan, after Omega Squad was able to infiltrate the research facility and capture Uthan. When Hokan tried to flee his stronghold, Omega Squad fired on their positions. Cheva and the other scientists froze, rather than continuing to run behind Hokan, and were shot and killed in the firefight. (RCHC)

Chevappa
This clan of Wookiees supported Attichituck and Chewbacca. (C)

Chevin
The Chevin were a race of elephant-like humanoids that hailed from the planet Vinsoth. As a people, the Chevin were known to be aggressive opportunists, pursuing personal advancement at every turn.

Physically, the Chevin were among the most distinctive of races. They were distinguished they their long heads, which sat at the end of a thick neck that curved downward, allowing them to forage for food without having to bend over. This gave them the ability to graze while keeping a watchful eye out for predators. Some Chevin had large facial tusks which impeded their vocal abilities. The body of a Chevin was covered by thick, grey skin that allowed them to tolerate a wide range of temperatures. This helped them survive the seasonal migrations they made across their homeworld.

The Chevin were known as adroit hunters, working in teams to corner and kill their prey. Over the generations, the Chevin came to dominate the planet Vinsoth, and eventually enslaved the Chevs.

Many Chevin "villages" wandered across the surface of the planet, migrating with the seasons to maintain food supplies and avoid the harsh weather.

The Chevin society was overseen by continental dictators and their chosen advisors, and this leadership supported the New Order during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. (GG12, E6, ANT, NEGA)

Chevin
This was the native language spoken by the inhabitants of the planet Vinsoth. (ANT)

Chevram
This was the Snivvian ruling council. Members were elected to the Chevram every twelve Snivvian years, and a new executive ruler was chosen from its ranks each year. (GG12)

Chew
This Shyriiwook word was used as the prefix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "honored", "noble", or "trusted", and could be combined with one or more suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)

Chewbacca
Born on Kashyyyk around nearly two centuries before the Galactic Civil War, Chewbacca - Chewie, for short - grew up without a great deal of human intervention. He excelled the various hand-to-hand combat skills a Wookiee was taught, and also gained a great deal of mechanical aptitude. Although no record exists of his early years, it was generally believed that Chewbacca left Kashyyyk between the ages of fifty and eighty to explore the galaxy. For many years, he answered to no one but himself, until the Clone Wars broke out. Chewbacca then returned to Kashyyyk to help defend his homeworld from Separatist forces. The support the Wookiees received from Jedi Master Yoda was a welcome sight, until Chancellor Palpatine revealed himself to be Darth Sidious and ordered the clone commanders to kill their generals. Yoda managed to destroy Commander Gree, and Chewbacca set out to make sure the tiny Jedi Master made it off Kashyyyk. With the help of his commanding officer and old friend, Tarfful, Chewie was able to get Yoda to an escape pod and away from Kashyyyk. With the institution of the New Order, the Empire declared many non-human races as slave commodities, and the Wookiees were targetted specifically for their strength and technical skill. Although Chewbacca managed to briefly escape Kashyyyk aboard the smuggling vessel Drunk Dancer, he was eventually captured as a rogue Wookiee and imprisoned. Like other Wookiees, he spent the next several years doing hard labor in the Empire's slave camps. Chewie was doomed to a short life when he was rescued by an Imperial Navy trainee named Han Solo. Note that Star Wars: Rebel Force - Renegade indicates that Han saved Chewie's life on Kashyyyk. Chewie claimed a lifedebt to Han, and the two fled Imperial observation and began living underground as smugglers. Chewie's physical strength and mechanical abilities made him a formidable partner, and he and Han had many adventures during the years prior to taking on Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker for passage to Alderaan. Chewie's actions in rescuing Princess Leia and helping Han Solo give Luke some breathing room during the Battle of Yavin earned him a commendation from the Alliance. His life-debt to Han Solo kept Chewie active. Following Han's need to repay Jabba the Hutt, he continued to help the Alliance, becoming a part of the ground assault team that disabled the shield generator on Endor's Sanctuary moon, allowing the Alliance to destroy the second Death Star. Following the formation of the New Republic and Han's resignation from the Republic, Chewie and Han continued to assist the Republic as pilots, and Chewie was forced to expand his hnor family to include Princess Leia following her marriage to Han Solo. Chewie's family continued to grow after the births of Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin Solo. Chewie became a guardian of Jacen and Jaina after their return from Anoth, but the siblings eluded him and got lost in the underground of Imperial City. Chewie and C-3PO managed to find them. On a vacation flight to Kessel with Han, Chewie and Han were shot down over the planet and forced to work in the spice mines. Their escape led them to the Maw Installation, and a group of Wookiee slaves still under Imperial domination. After convincing the Republic's leaders that they needed to establish an occupation of the Installation, Chewie also lobbied for the Republic to rescue the enslaved Wookiees. He was granted permission to accompany the occupation team and free the Wookiees. He was successful in rescuing the Wookiees, and helped get them out of the Installation before Daala destroyed it. Even though Han retired from active duty to spend time with his family, Chewbacca never left his side. His life-debt to Han had grown to encompass the entire Solo family. During the initial stages of Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Han, Anakin, and Chewbacca were on Sernpidal, helping Lando Calrissian with a shipment. They were on the planet when the Yuuzhan Vong used a dovin basal to draw the moon Dobido into an impact trajectory with Sernpidal, and were assisting with the evacuation effort when Anakin and Chewie were trapped on stony outcropping. Recognizing that Dobido was going to crash any second, Chewbacca flung Anakin onto the landing ramp of the Millennium Falcon, ensuring Anakin's survival. When Han realized Chewie didn't get onboard, he ordered Anakin to fly back while he searched for Chewie. Anakin, torn between his love for Chewie and the cargo hold full of refugees, was forced to retreat before the Falcon was destroyed. Chewbacca died on Sernpidal while giving the highest service to his life-debt. Han grieved for a long time before he could come to grips with the realization that Anakin hadn't killed Chewie, but that the Wookiee had saved them all. (E4, E5, E6, HTTE, VP, IS3, SWDB, RDV, RF3)

Chewstim
This gum-like substance was chewed whenever an individual needed a quick jolt of energy. Its substance contained a mild, adrenaline-like stimulant that helped heighten one's alertness. (EVR)

Ch'hala
Native to Cularin, this species of slender, purple and green trees had thick, drooping foliage and were touch-sensitive. Whenever something came into contact with the bark of the ch'hala tree, it would produce swirling patterns of color across its surface, rippling outward from the point of contact. During the last century of the Old Republic era, the ch'hala trees were declared to be sacred to the Tarasin people, which were also native to Cularin. The Tarasin prohibited any harvesting of ch'hala wood, and logging corporations brought in armed guards to protect their workers. Only trees that died naturally were collected and used for wood, and the roots were crushed and then used to brew a fragrant tea. The Jedi Knights were called upon to mediate the situation, and formed the Cularin Compact, which limited the number of trees which could be harvested to a minimal number. Emperor Palpatine later used ch'hala trees to line the Grand Corridor at the Imperial Palace, and implanted at least one with a highly-sensitive listening device that became known as Delta Source. (DFR, TLC, LFC, LFCW)

Ch'hodos
This planet was part of the ancient Sith Empire. The planet - continually bathed in red light from its nearby sun - was the site of Shar Dakhan's fortress. (FOSE)

Ch'hosk Cave Drawings
These remarkably ancient paintings were discovered on Antmuel VI by Doctor Angrail Ryhl during the height of the New Order. (HR)

Chi
This was one of the common designations used by the targetting computers installed on Imperial warships to identify a group of Imperial container vessels. Because these typs of ships were mass-manufactured and found throughout the galaxy, their transponders codes were often little more than a group of letters and numbers. In order to distinguish these ships from enemy vessels during a battle, Imperial targetting computers assigned all containers in a given convoy to a specific group, each with a specific designation. The second group of container vessels discovered by the targetting computer was usually assigned to the Chi group, and the ships within that group were also given a numerical identifier, such as Chi 1. (TIEP)

Chi ita lungee
This Ewok statement translated into Basic as "I am lost." (GPB)

Chi Wave
This sport was available on many luxury cruise ships. (RM)

Chiaki
This species of serpent-like predators which hunted the waters of Iskalon. Although it generally fed on other fish and marine life, the chiaki was not above catching stray Iskalons to kill and eat. It was a mindless predator, driven by the scent of blood in the water. (MC76)

Chian
This young, male Kajain'sa'Nikto was a member of the Bear Clan of Jedi students, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. (OWS)

Chianar
This was a pastoral settlement found on the planet Alderaan, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Much of Chianar was opened to refugees who were fleeing from planets which had seceded from the Republic, during the year leading up to the Clone Wars. Former Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum was among those who worked to make Chianar a hospitable refuge for these beings. (HNN4)

Chiang/Xi
This corporation produced some of the most sophisticated audio technology for droids during the centuries leading up to the Battle of Naboo. They developed an extremely sensitive technology known as audiofilaments to provide espionage droids with the ability to hear even the smallest of sounds. (YDR)

Chiba
This large, crocodilian beast was the pet of Aron Peacebringer. (MC53)

Chiba DR-10
This spherical protocol droid was developed for use by Imperial diplomats and officials who often moved through hostile territories. Known as the Chiba Drio, this droid was programmed to handle virtually any translation or negotiating environment. It was also equipped with a pop-out blaster and specialized sensor systems, which allowed it to detect and address and potentially dangerous situations. Over time, it was learned that the Chiba DR-10 could become overly aggressive, impatient, and sarcastic if its memory wasn't wiped clean periodically. (CCW)

Chiba Drio

Chicken
This was a slang term used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe any Imperial officer or personnel. It could also be used in the phrase "chicken alarm," to indicate an Imperial operation. (GG9)

Chicken Alarm
This was a slang term used by the Special Operations forces of the Alliance to indicate the threat assessment of a given situation or mission. In general, the larger the number associated with a chicken alarm, the more dangerous a situation was. A single chicken alram referred to any operation of more than a few enemies against an Alliance target. Two chicken alarms meant that a small enemy fleet was inbound, while three chicken alarms indicated a ground army was approaching, and eight chicken alarms indicated that a full enemy fleet was inbound. Five chicken alarms indicated the presence of an Imperial Star Destroyer, while thirteen chicken alarms - considered the highest threat level - indicated a sighting of the Death Star. (GG9)

Chicken Walker
This was a slang term used to describe an Imperial AT-ST. The term arose from the AT-ST's bouncing gait, which was reminiscent of the way in which birds moved about. (VF)

Chidee
This was a common name given to male Duros children. The name Chidee referred to an extinct predator once native to Duro. (GCG)

Chidinka
This species of reed-like plant was native to the planet Kirdo III. Chidinka reeds were hollowed out by the Kitonak and used as musical instruments called chidinkalu. (GG4, NEGA)

Chidinkalu
This Kitonak musical instrument, resembling a set of pipes, was formed from the hollowed-out reeds of the chidinka plant. Note that the Star Wars Galaxies web site indicates that the chidinkalu horn has just a single pipe. (GG4, SWG2P, NEGA, SWGAL)

Chido
This was a noted Rodian individual. (SWRPG2)

Chie
This MC40a was part of the Alliance's fleet, during the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Chieb'Kalla
This obese, purple-skinned, male Twi'lek was the owner and operator of The Fungus Pit, a popular cantina in the settlement of Bashka, on Ryloth, during the final years of the Old Republic. He openly despised slavers, and hired a group of Besalisk bouncers to keep them from causing trouble in his establishment. To help protect Twi'lek females from slavers, Chieb hired some of the most beautiful of them to keep them out of trouble. He also led a small group of freedom fighters who established a sort of undreground railroad to help Twi'lek slaves escape from their owners. These practices didn't endear Chieb to the local slavers, especially the Gotal known as Noric Gestal. Gestal once tried to steal several of Chieb's employees, but he was killed the resulting brawl. Chieb gratefully helped the freelance agents who protected his employees, but he refused to give them information on the location of Vhiin Thorla. Instead, Jacynith stepped in and agreed to help them. (TS)

Chief, The
This was the nickname of the Jawa who led Jek Nkik's tribe. (SWJ11)

Chiera, Mika Anjiliac
This Hutt crimelord was known among his peers for the cadre' of security droids he recovered from Varl and restored to working order. The H-3PO droids proved to be unfailingly loyal, unlike organic bodyguards. He was also known as an atypical Hutt, being energetic and eager to learn more about the businesses he runs. Mika, the youngest child of Popara the Hutt, was distinguished by his green and yellow coloration, as well as his interests in areas such as foreign culture, history, and technology. He also could speak the Basic language with ease, and was one of the few Hutts who did so in everyday life. Unknown to his siblings, Mika was quite sensitive to the Force, a fact that Popara also helped to keep a secret. Mika was stranded on Endregaad when a plague struck the planet, during the early years of the New Order. He left his bodyguard, Orgamon the Nikto, in Tel Bollin to act as his primary agent, in case Popara sent a rescue party. Mika himself traveled to the Temple Valley in an effort to locate the source of the Endregaad Plague and find a way to fight it. His discovery of a crashed YV-100 led to the source of the plague, and Mika showed his humanity by allowing the geode miners of the planet to salvage parts of the ship for themselves. Unknown to all, however, was the fact that Mika was behind the development of the tempest spice. The YV-100 had been traveling through the Indrexu Spiral with a shipment of tempest when it was infected with the plague, and crashed on Endregaad when the crew died from repeated exposure. His true mission to Endregaad was the recovery of the tempest shipment. He had made several arrangements with the local miners to ensure that the ship was easily accessed and kept ready until he could recover it. Upon returning to Nar Shaddaa, Mika was forced to realize that Popara was growing concerned about the rising threat of the tempest spice. Since tempest was creating huge sums of credits for his own accounts, Mika worked behind the scenes to undermine his parent's attempts to learn more about tempest. When Popara got too close, Mika poisoned him, ensuring that Popara would not meddle any further in his business. However, Mika was forced to flee Anjiliac Towers after the event, which Zonnos took as a sign of Mika's part in Popara's death. He was sighted at the Headache Bar, where he claimed that Zonnos had killed Popara. Shortly afterward, Mika was captured by Zonnos in an ambush, following the capture of Vago. With the help of Angela Krin and the agents hired by Popara, Mika managed to escape, and in the wake of Zonnos' death he became the leader of the Anjiliac kajidic. Rather than remain on Nar Shaddaa, however, Mika chose to return to Varl, where he had created the Tempest as a production facility. The agents tracked Mika to Varl, and confronted him aboard the huge vessel. Despite his best efforts to flee in the ship, Mika was hunted down and killed before he could unleash the tempest spice on the galaxy. (TF, WOTC)

One of the original Signatory Sponsor of the Corporate Sector Authority, CAPC owned nearly 600 star systems in the Corporate Sector. The conglomerate also owned subsidiaries and held divisons that produced medical, chemical, and pharmaceutical products, and specialized in deriving new products from materials found on unexplored worlds. During the era of the New Order and well into the era of the New Republic, Chiewab employed scouts to help them lay claim to many worlds along the inner edges of Wild Space, hoping to discover new, naturally-ocurring medicines and other chemicals. (CSA, NEGW, NEGD)

Chiewab Nutrition
This subsidiary of Chiewab Amaglamated Pharmaceuticals Company produced products that supplemented the daily nutritional requirements of many different species. (CSA)

Chif Stone
This unusual stone was found on the planet Naboo, where it was used to create intricate carvings and pieces of jewelry. Chif stone was noted for its organic forms, existing in twists and chains formed from thick strands of the stone itself. Chif stone was most found in a deep blue color, with subtle variations marking its place of origin. (CVD)

Chi'ffa
This iced drink was favored by the Bothan race. (GAL6)

Chiffonage, Beryl
A noted Alliance tactician, Beryl was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Alliance military and a valued member of the Alliance's command team. His expertise was in developing attack and defense patterns for individual Alliance bases of operations. It was Beryl who worked with Luke Skywalker to develop the tactical maneuvers used by Rogue Squadron to combat the Imperial AT-AT walkers that invaded the Hoth Echo Base. (RASB, AIR, SWI74)

Chihdo
This Rodian smuggler, one of the few relatives of Greedo who survived the attacks of Navik the Red, was noted as the being who set off the traps which were located in the catacombs of Shawkan. For many years during the height of the New Order, Chihdo traveled the galaxy with Rik Duel. They joined the Alliance together, and were part of the team which remained behind on Stenos in an effort to locate the lost statue of the god Vol. However, as soon as the statue was found, Rik and his band tried to make off with the statue and sell it to Imperial Governor Matrin. This plan failed miserably, as the Stenaxes learned of the statue's reappearance and set out to recover it. In their anger, the Stenaxes killed the Imperials and threatened to dispose of the smugglers. They managed to escape, however, and remained hidden on Stenos for several more years. Unfortunately for Chihdo, he ran afoul of IG-88 and Bossk, who were trying to avoid being caught by Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian. Chihdo was frozen in a block of carbonite, and used as a decoy to lure them into a trap. After the bounty hunters were defeated, Chihdo was thawed out, and rejoined Rik and Dani on a mission to Iskalon to plunder what salvage they could from the ruins of Pavillion. This plan later fell through when Mone demanded that they leave the planet. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Rik, Dani, and Chihdo accompanied Luke back to Endor. There, Chihdo stood up for Rik when an Alliance soldier accused him of cheating at cards, and Chihdo was shot in the chest. Only Luke's intervention saved Chihdo. (MC70, MC71, MC82, MC90)

Chiilak
These huge, six-limbed creatures were native to the glacial regions of the moon Misnor, where they grow heights of over two meters. Chiilaks were more than a match for Wookiees in strength, and were excellent swimmers. Their upper four limbs were used as arms, and their hands have a thick middle digit and two smaller, opposable fingers. Their feet were clawed, and all six "paws" were webbed for use in swimming. Their pelts were thick, providing protection from the cold environment in which they exist. Generally white in coloration, chiilaks tend darken in color as they age. They were omnivorous, and will eat just about anything they can catch. Hunting of chiilaks was allowed under Imperial aw, but actually surviving the hunt and returning with a chiilak pelt was never a foregone conclusion. (COG)

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

Chiithii'n
This male Sullustan served the Alliance's naval forces as a Lieutenant Commander, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. When a group of Sullustans were rescued from Imperial slavery by Keyan Farlander and the Rescue shuttle group, Chiitii'n served as an interpreter when the Sullustans wanted to give Farlander their thanks and gratitude. (XW, XWP)

Chik youngee
This Huttese word translated into Basic as "dancing girl." (GMR5)

Chikarri
This race of man-sized, squirrel-like creatures was native to the planet Plagen. They were highly-intelligent, and were known to be extremely thrift. Jokes up and down the Enarc Run said that a Chikarri's wealth was described by the age and patching of their clothing. Chikarri were also known to be kleptomaniacs, and not very brave. It was the Chikarri who sold port rights to Plagen to the Klatooinan Trade Guild, bringing a galaxy's worth of trade to their world. (TSK, AE)

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

Chilab
This Yuuzhan Vong piece of bio-technology was a worm-like creature designed to crawl into a warrior's sinus cavity and lodge itself there. It was bred to have large memory capacity despite its small size, and recorded everything its user saw and hear by connecting directly to its neural network. When forced to detach itself and expelled through the nose, the chilab could be recovered and its memories stored in bio-computers for later review and replay. (SBS)

Chilastra
This converted MOD-17 freighter was part of the small fleet which was hastily assembled to transport refugees off the planet Druckenwell, when the Yuuzhan Vong took control of the planet. The speciallized containers of the freighter were refitted to provide shelter and life support to the refugees who crammed into them. The Chilastra was commanded by Captain Yesha Bergeron during the evacuation, and it was rumored that a Jedi Knight was hiding aboard the Chilastra. This rumor quickly reached the ears of Yuuzhan Vong Commander Malik Carr, who dispatched a commando team to capture the ship and its Jedi. A battle ensued between the freighter and a Yuuzhan Vong boarding party, which tried to capture the untrained but Force-sensitive Ka-Tu-Un. The Yuuzhan Vong managed to get aboard the freighter by traveling the shuttle Yorva-9, which outwardly seemed to be a normal shuttle. (GMR8)

Child Conquerer
This nickname was used to describe Faarl the Conquerer, who was only nineteen at the height of his power. (WBC)

Child of the Bowl
According to the religion of the Cosmic Balance, families were required to have children in pairs, in order to help maintain the balance of the galaxy. Under the Rule of Feather and Bowl, each pair of children was given an aptitude test during their teenage years, with the less-promising child being given a small, golden bowl. Then known as a Child of the Bowl, the teenager was sent to live in a communal Simple Home, forgoing wealth and luxury in order to balance out the wealth experienced by the Child of the Feather. However, the Child of the Bowl could look forward to living in relative wealth in the afterlife, thereby ensuring the continued balance of the galaxy. Many of these children eventually leave the religion of the Cosmic Balance, unsatisfied with the mere promise of a better Life To Come. (GORW)

Child of the Feather
According to the religion of the Cosmic Balance, families were required to have children in pairs, in order to help maintain the balance of the galaxy. Under the Rule of Feather and Bowl, each pair of children was given an aptitude test during their teenage years, with the more-promising child being given a white feather. Then known as a Child of the Feather, the teenager was allowed to remain in the Bakuran society and received educational funding from the Zanazi. This balanced out the relative poverty experienced by the Child of the Bowl. However, the Child of the Feather could look forward to living in relative poverty in the afterlife, thereby ensuring the continued balance of the galaxy. (GORW)

Child of Winds
This young Qom Qae was the first of his kind to encounter Luke Skywalker, when the Jedi Master arrived on Nirauan to search for Mara Jade. He offered to enlist the aid of the Qom Jha in Luke's search, but his father, Hunter of Winds, objected. Child of Winds opted to disobey his father and help Luke, after the Jedi indicated that Mara was a good friend who needed his help. The young Qom Qae continued to be invaluable, persuading the Qom Jha to help and helping Luke and Mara move around the compound by carrying them. When he learned that the Threateners would leave the Qom Qae and Qom Jha alone if Luke and Mara left and the Chiss were ignored, Child of Winds returned to his nesting to bring this news to his father. Hunter of Winds bargained with Eater of Fire Creepers, and the two resolved to work together in the future. Mara then gave Child of Winds a potential adult name, "Friend of Jedi." (VOF)

Childerly
This was one of two Nebulon-B frigates used by Ororo Transportation to patrol the Lybeya System and the Vergesso Asteroid Field. (SPG)

Childermoss, Vor
This tyrannical leader of the Exalted Torcaigne pursued Han Solo and Leia Organa after they fled from Attahox, where they became trapped within the Hellhoop. They were captured, and Vor sneered at Suzal's apparent lack of power. He attempted to shoot the leader of the Five, but Mavin stepped in with his black fireclaw. He shot Leelu and Childermoss in the blink of an eye. (CSWDW)

Child-Pattern
Known as a CP, a child-pattern was a projection of what the offspring of two Bith would become. Generated by the Computer Mating Service, a child-pattern analyzed the DNA from a prospective mate and compared the probable combinations against that of a dozen other possible mates, in order to determine the best possible matches. Once the Bith chose a child-pattern, they were then introduced to their prospective mate. (GG4, NEGA)

Children of Najiba
This was the name given to the asteroids which surround the planet Najiba. The reason behind the asteroid belt's formation had never been discovered. (SWJ4, TFE)

Children of the Fountain
This name was used by the Klatooinan race to describe itself. It referred to the fact that the Klatooinan culture was based on the premises of endurance and strength that were exemplified by the Fountain of the Ancients. Many younger generations of Klatooinans were outraged when the Council of Elders chose to rename the fountain as the Fountain of the Hutt Ancients, since they believed the Hutts were no more than thugs who held the Klatooinan race in perpetual servitude. (GG12, NEGA)

Children of the Galaxy
This exhibit was staged at the Cambrielle Exploration Auditorium, on the planet Ralltiir, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. It showcased the wondrous contributions to the galactic society which had been performed by mere children, many of whom were prodigies in such areas as hyperspacial astrophysics or other exploratory sciences. (PH)

Children's Museum
This museum, located on the planet Coruscant during the last decades of the Old Republic, was established to showcase the impacts of young children on the galaxy and its history. The noted treasure hunter Brin Hesk'l located a secret room within the walls of the museum, which had been constructed and hidden more than 200 years earlier. Within this secret chamber was a trove of important documents. (LFCW)

Childsen, Shann
This Imperial Lieutenant served on the first Death Star. He was known as a bully by his fellow officers, and was demoted after a superior blamed him for a clerical error. He was an ardent believer in the New Order's anti-alien policies, which assisted in his selection as a security officer. He was in command of detention block AA-23 on the Death Star when Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca infiltrated the area to rescue Princess Leia. He was killed in the firefight. (CCG2)

Chili Dumpling
This was a spicy, breaded dumpling that was often served in stews. (YDR)

Chiliox
This species of fruit-bearing tree was native to the planet Gravlex Med. The fruit of the chiliox tree formed the diet of many herbivores on the planet, including the ancient ancestors of the Anx. (GMR7)

Chilla
This woman was an Alliance agent, working undercover at The Rusty Bucket tavern on Iyuta, in preparation for the launch of Operation Retribution. After the Rusty Bucket burned down, Chilla moved into a position with The Giant Step on the Strip. She was captured by Imperial agents, but was eventually rescued by the Alliance agents who were on Iyuta to destroy the communications center in Takari. (SWCP)

Chiller
This Alliance Corvette was destroyed while attacking the Imperial frigate Laantis, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE, TIEP)

Chim
This was the Ewok word for the number 3. (GPB)

Chimaera
This Imperial-II class Star Destroyer was commanded by Captain Gilad Pellaeon during the height of the galactic Civil War. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Pellaeon rallied the surviving Imperial forces around the Chimaera and fled the Endor system to regroup. The ship was later used as Grand Admiral Thrawn's flagship, after Thrawn returned from the Unknown Regions to take control of the Empire some five years after the Battle of Endor. It was a ship which had survived numerous battles, most notably the Battle of Endor and the Battles of Sluis Van and Bilbringi. After Thrawn's death, Pellaeon retained command of the Chimaera, and used it as the command ship of the remaining Imperial fleet. However, as part of Operation Shadow Hand, the Chimaera was dispatched to capture the planet Duro.

In the battle, the ship took heavy damage and had to be abandoned. The New Republic took possession of the ship and refitted it, but soon lost it - to Pellaeon himself - at the Battle of Gravlex Med. After the resolution of the Caamas Incident and the discredting of Moff Disra and Grodin Tierce, the Chimaera served as the site of the peace negotiations between Pellaeon and New Republic President Gavrisom. The aging ship became the stuff of legends, continuing to serve as Pellaeon's flagship during the years in which the Empire retreated into the Imperial Remnant. When the Yuuzhan Vong finally decided to attack the Imperials, the Chimaera was once again forced into battle, this time to protect Bastion. The Yuuzhan Vong attack was swift and deadly, and the Battle of Bastion resulted in a rout of the Imperial forces. The Chimaera took heavy damage to her hyperdrive, and Pellaeon was forced into a coma by injuries he sustained at the helm. The crew managed to get the ship back to Yaga Minor, where it was refitted and made battle-worthy once again.

The ship was later turned over to Admiral Daala, who made it the flagship of so-called Maw Irregular Fleet. Most members of the military forces of the Imperial Remnant believed that the Chimaera had been decommissioned and scrapped for parts. Thus, the ship's appearance during the final stages of the Second Battle of Fondor came as a complete surprise. (HTTE, TLC, HTSB, VOF, ECH, FH1, GMR7, LF8)

Chin
This was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)

Chin
A member of Talon Kaarde's crew, Chin was gunner who also served as the handler of Kaarde's vornskrs. He was one of the first people to figure out an ysalamir could be removed from their trees and maintained on portable racks, providing a way for Grand Admiral Thrawn to move about in the presence of Joruus C'baoth without beingf influenced by the Force. A middle-aged man, Chin was a native of Myrkr, and was in command of Kaarde's operations there during the years following the Battle of Endor. He was distinguished by his Froffli-style haircut. (HTTE, TLC)

Chin-Bret
This sport was played on a wide playing field. During the last years of the Old Republic, chin-bret was one of the most popular sports on the planet Coruscant, with most major matches being played at the T'Chuk Arena. The playing field was covered with a layer of sand, across which the players - known as chin-bretiers - leaped and bounded to reach the opponent's goal. At the start of play, one side served to the other, with pikers moving about to return the serve. The object was to score past the goalie - designated by a cerulean vest - as many times as possible while keeping the other team from scoring. The goalies moved about from side to side, carrying a torch-like device that was to be kept lit until the other team scored. (HIV, TCD)

Chin-bretier
This was the name given to any being who played chin-bret. (TCD)

Chine

Chine-kal
This Yuuzhan Vong commander was in charge of the Creche', the yammosk ship which took on prisoners from Gyndine to help nurture a newborn yammosk. Chine-kal was distinguished by his clothing, which depicted and - in the case of the raptor in his turban and his strangely organic cape - was made up of animals. When he discovered that one of his captured slaves was actually Wurth Skidder, Chine-kal hoped to attain favor with Tsavoong Lah and the Yuzhan Vong leadership by presenting the Jedi to them. However, the Creche' was attacked at Kalarba by Kyp's Dozen, and Chine-kal was forced to flee. He headed for Fondor, hoping to meet up with the main fleet and rescue the yammosk on board. Instead, Kyp's small squadron followed them to Fondor and infiltrated the Creche'. They arrived too late to save Skidder, but managed to kill the yammosk and defeat Chine-kal. Chine-kal remained aboard the dying ship, but was killed when the blast from Centerpoint Station ripped through the Fondor System and incinerated the Creche'. (JE)

Chinesti
Mirith Sinn tried to mislead Carnor Jax by telling him that Kir Kanos had fled to his city, located on the planet Phaeda, after Colonel Shev's troops failed to capture Kanos. Jax knew she was lying about Kanos' location, and tortured her further to get more information. (CE)

Chin-harp
A musical instrument developed by the Weequay,the chin-harp uses a specially-activated chord hammer to create sounds. (TFNR)

Chinnith
This Galactic Alliance Guard shuttle was one of many that were deployed aboard the Star Destroyer Ankin Solo, during the height of the Galactic Alliance's war against The Confederation. The shuttle was deployed with a boarding party, during Jacen Solo's attempt to capture Centerpoint Station, some three years after the end of the Swarm War. It was docked at airlock Epsilon 34 G, and the Chev pilot was ordered to wait for the boarding team to return. She was therefore surprised when Five Worlds Prime Minister Sadras Koyan burst into the cockpit and demanded to be taken to Corellia. Startled, the pilot shot Koyan in the chest, killing him almost instantly. (LF7)

Chinshassa
This city, located on the planet Shalyvane, was the spiritual focal point of the Em'liy race for many generations. During the Galactic Civil War, Darth Vader placed Shira Brie on Shalyvane near the city, so that she could infiltrate the Alliance forces that had been gathering on the planet. During the early years of the New Order, according to Shira, the non-human Em'liy of Shalyvane had agreed to sign a peace treaty with the humans, and a great celebration was to be held at the Circle of Kavaan. According to her story, the Em'liy had then destroyed the city themselves, a story that Imperial propaganda supported. Shira's story was later shown to be a fabrication when Luke Skywalker met G'hinji in the burned-out remains of a building near Chinshassa. In reality, thebombing of Chinshassa had been fully arranged by the Empire as a "disciplinary cleansing" of Shalyvane's rebellious population. The celebration was fabricated in order to gather the population into a single place, where Imperial forces could bombard supposed rebel activity. The Em'liy were upset and ashamed that they had not been vigilant enough to prevent the humans from entering the city, and chose to abandon their holy city rather than try to fight the Imperial propaganda. Chinshassa was left to fall to ruin, and the Em'liy turned to a nomadic lifestyle. (GAL3, MC60, MC62, LTA3, UANT, GMR1)

Chintassa Grass
This thin grass was often boiled and seasoned as a side dish. (XW, XWP)

Chion, Olana
This Keganite woman was one of the many Jedi Knights who took up roles within the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Born with the name O-Lana, she was discovered on her homeworld of Kegan by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, several years before the Battle of Naboo. After being brought to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, her ties to Kegan were severed when her name was altered to be Olana Chion. As a yougn student, she watched the career of Obi-Wan Kenobi with great interest, and longed to become his Padawan someday. She was dismayed with Kenobi returned from the Battle of Naboo with a field promotion to the rank of Jedi Knight, and young Anakin Skywalker in tow as an apprentice. Olana would be later chosen as a Padawan by Avan Post, but remained suspicious of Anakin's place in the Jedi Order. When the Clone Wars broke out, Olana was among the many students who were awarded promotions to Jedi Knight on the field of battle, without any fanfare. She hated the fighting, however, and eventually took on the role of coordinating the evacuation and resettlement of refugees. She was responsible for the reassignment of being on Coruscant, after General Grievous launched his surprise attack on the capital world, and maintained a keen interest in the Outer Rim Sieges. This interest brought her briefly into contact with Kenobi again, before he was dispatched to Utapau. Thus, Olana was in the Jedi Temple when Anakin Skywalker - having become the apprentice to Darth Sidious - led the 50st Legion into the Temple to wipe out the Jedi. Although her body was never identified, it was believed that Olana was killed in the fighting. (SWDB)

This former TIE Fighter pilot was promoted by Admiral Piett to the rank of Admiral, shortly before Piett recruited him to serve as the deep-space communications expert aboard the Executor during the Battle of Endor. Like the rest of the crew of the Executor, Chiraneau died when the ship crashed into the surface of the second Death Star. (CCG11)

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

Chiron Base
This Alliance base was located on Tomark II, in the midst of several Imperial shipping and supply lanes, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ11)

Chironian
This was a race of centaur-like beings native to the planet Chiron. Also known as Centauriforms, Chironians had the body of an equine creature. However, instead of a neck and a head, Chironians had the torso of a humanoid being. Thus, in addition to four hooved legs, a Chironian had two arms. As infants, Chironians often had spotted fur, but these spots faded as an individual matured. Young adults also began to develop ridged, crystalline horns on their foreheads, and these horns grew as the Chironian aged. (DOG, SBS)

Chirp
This slang term was commonly used in the Elrood Sector of the galaxy to describe any droid that could not speak in the Basic language, but instead used a series of chirps and whistles to communicate in Droidspeak. (PG3)

Chirpa
This gray-furred Ewok was the leader of Bright Tree Village's Council of Elders for forty-two seasons before the Battle of Endor. Chirpa had been married briefly to Ra-Lee, and had two daughters, Asha and Kneesaa. Shortly before the fateful events of the Battle of Endor, Chirpa found himself confronted with Han Solo, Leia Organa,and Luke Skywalker. He was reluctant to believe the words of the Alliance's ground assault team on Endor's forest moon, fearing them to be part of the Imperial force which was destroying their environment. However, after seeing C-3PO's magic and realizing their good intentions, Chirpa agreed to assist them in ridding the moon of the Imperial presence. He carried a staff made from the spine of a large lizard, and had a pet iguana who served as his chief advisor. After the death of the Emperor at Endor, Chirpa was forced to banish Logray from Bright Tree Village, when the shaman exiled Wicket for disagreeing with one of his commandments. Chirpa promoted Paploo to serve as the village shaman, and allowed Wicket to return. Upon his death, Chirpa was replaced as leader by his daughter, Kneesaa. (E6, MTS, CCG10, SWDB, E6Y)

Chirru
A creature that can regenerate lost body parts. Popular fiction says they can even regenerate their own heads. (SE)

Chiru
This species of insect was native to the planet Socorro, and was known for its vicious nature. Named with the Socorran word for "deadly," the chiru was known to live in colonies of more than 100,000 individuals. They were attracted to vibrations, such as that of a starhip repulsorlift engine, and would swarm an unsuspecting traveler who went out into the desert in an unmuffled landspeeder. Their lifecycle was punctuated by the intense seasons experienced on Socorro. When the planet plunged into deep winter, huge portions of the chiru population were killed in the cold. Those that survived came out of hibernation as summer approached. The increasing heat triggered their mating instinct, and within months the colonies were fully populated again. (BSS)

Chiru
This Socorran term means "deadly." (BSS)

Chiss
This was the lanugage spoken by the Chiss people, native to the planet Csilla. (WOTC)

Chiss
This race of blue-skinned humanoids was native to the planet Csilla, in the Unknown Regions. Their homeworld was locked in a planet-wide ice age many millennia ago, and they were forced to migrate away from the planet as a species in order to survive. They eventually returned to Csilla after colonizing more than two dozen neighboring star systems.

As a race, the near-human Chiss were well-muscled and tall, with jet black hair and glowing red eyes. Their skin ranged in color from pale to dark blue, depending on the amount of oxygen contained in the air they breathed. It was believed that their eye color was also enhanced by the presence of more oxygen in the environment.

Much of their history was marked by nearly continual warfare and conquest of other worlds, but the Chiss were generally not considered to be violent. Instead, their military doctrine was founded on a defensive posture that viewed the idea of a pre-emptive strike against an enemy as if it were murder. This unspoken law dated back nearly a millennium before the Battle of Endor, and was one of the strongest points of Chiss honor and morality.

Within Chiss society, children matured very quickly, never truly having an adolescent period before becoming adults. It was unclear if this was an evolutionary development, or simply a societal or cultural effect.

Like many races that inhabited the Unknown Regions, the Chiss remained ignorant of the rest of the galaxy. They developed interplanetary and hyperspace flight on their own, but never developed anything that resembled droid technology. Chiss society was based on the existence of several ruling families, which were represented on the Ruling Circle and oversaw the control of the Chiss Ascendancy. They jealously guarded their systems within the Unknown Regions, and openly sought out new territory to bring under their control.

Throughout their history, the Chiss repelled many invaders, although always after the invaders launched an initial against Chiss forces. Many of the scientists at the Astrographic Survey Institute believed that the Chiss were among the first races to come in contact with the Yuuzhan Vong, some fifty years before their initial invasion. They theorized that the Chiss understood the Yuuzhan Vong's military power, and began augmenting their own war machine to prepare to repel an invasion fleet. Unfortunately, the Chiss remained isolated in the Unknown Regions, and wouldn't allow contact with the New Republic after the Battle of Ithor. Chiss sages spent a great deal of time researching the Yuuzhan Vong, and eventually learned that it had taken the alien invaders many generations to cross the gulf between galaxies. (VOF, DTR, HT, GMR5, SQ, OF, NEGA)

Chiss Ascendency
This was a term used by many of the alien races native to the Unknown Regions to describe the Chiss civilization and its government. The Ascendancy was formed from several ruling houses, each of which supported the Ascendancy with soldiers and ships for the protection of Chiss space. The Ruling Circle was then formed from the leaders of each house. The number of ruling families varied with the political situation on Csilla, growing as large as twelve families and as few as three during the history of the Chiss. During the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Ascendancy's membership was suddenly reduced from nine houses to just four. Aristocra Formbi later explained to Luke Skywalker that the Vagaari Wars resulted in huge numbers of Chiss casualties. Several ruling houses were left so short of manpower that they were forced to turn to the Colony for labor. This arrangement worked well for several years, until Raynar Thul arrived on Yoggoy and created the Unu hive. Before the Chiss could understand what was happening, two entire families had become Joiners, and three other houses had become dependent on insect labor. An internal struggle within the Ascendancy led to the elimination of these five houses. (SQ, DN1, OF, NEGA)

Chiss Defense Fleet
This was the one of the primary naval forces developed to protect and serve the Chiss Ascendancy. Each of the Ruling Families provided soldiers to the Defense Fleet, but promotions were based on a merit system that was defined by one's service to the Chiss people. In a similar fashion to the soldiers of the Chiss Expansionary Fleet, the members of the Defense fleet wore uniforms that lacked a specific color, indicating that they served all Chiss, not just their families. To distinguish themselves from the Expansionary Fleet, the Defense Fleet wore uniforms of pure white. Those senior officers who merited a promotion to the Defense Hierarchy, which oversaw the operation of the Defense Fleet and the Expansionary Fleet, were stripped of their family names in order to indicate that they were now serving the Chiss society as a whole. The Chiss Defense Fleet was charged with protecting the Chiss-controlled sectors of the Unknown Regions, in an effort to ensure the continued safety and security of the Chiss civilization. Like all parts of the Chiss military, the Defense Fleet was under the command of the Nuruodo family during the early years of the New Republic. (OF)

Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet
This was the one of the primary naval forces developed to protect and serve the Chiss Ascendancy. Each of the Ruling Families provided soldiers to the CEDF, but promotions were based on a merit system that was defined by one's service to the Chiss people. To distinguish members of the CEDF from other members of Chiss society, the CEDF uniform was primarily black in color, since black was considered the combination of all other colors. The senior officers who merited a promotion to the Defense Hierarchy, which oversaw the operation of the CEDF and the Chiss Defense Fleet, were stripped of their family names in order to indicate that they were now serving the Chiss society as a whole. The CEDF was charged with patrolling the borders of the Chiss Ascendancy - those Chiss-controlled sectors of the Unknown Regions - in an effort to observe and seek out new worlds in the regions around the Ascendancy. Like all parts of the Chiss military, the CEDF was under the command of the Nuruodo family during the early years of the New Republic. (VOF, GMR5, FH1, SQ, OF)

Chiss Expansionary Fleet

Chiss Intelligence
This was the intelligence agency that was allied with the Chiss Ascendancy. (DN1)

Chistor
This was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)

Chistor, Barnab
This being served as the Governor of the planet Almas, in the decade leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He later served as the Governor of the city of Gadrin, on Cularin, during the years following the Battle of Naboo, and became the Cularin System's Governor shortly afterward. His administration was accused of several poor financial policies during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, policies that the Metatheran Cartel was quick to point out to the people of Cularin. With the onset of the Clone Wars, the Thaereian Military took control of the Cularin System under a Republic Charter, much to the dismay of the citizens of the system. Working beneath and around the law, Governor Chistor and his aides began passing legislation that worked to undermine the control of the Thaereians, in an effort to "legally" regain control of Cularin. His efforts did not go unnoticed, and he found himself the target of an assassination attempt that was funded by an unidentified Senator who was also working for the Separatists. Just as Mister Haque was about to execute Chistor, Mister Zlash announced that the Senator had been executed for treason, and was therefore unlikely to pay them. Mister Haque released Chistor, begging the Governor's apologies for having roughed him up. To show that they harbored no more ill intents, Haque and Zlash offered to take Governor Chistor to breakfast at a renowned Ithorian restaurant. Chistor could only stammer his acceptance, glad to still be alive. (LFCW, EOS3)

Chistor, Barnab
A native of Alderaan, Barnar Chistor yearned to be an explorer when he was very young. After being denied acceptance into a presitigious university on Alderaan, Chistor opted to attend a lesser school and discovered a flair for politics. However, his dreams of becoming an explorer were nearly destroyed because of his poor technical and scientific grades. He saw a chance to make a name for himself shortly after the Republic Bureau of Exploration and Colonization opened up the Cularin System for new oppportunities. He moved himself to Cularin and began to insinuate himself into the political structure in the city of Gadrin. He tried to lead an expedition to the moon of Uffel, only to discover that exploration was hard work. He decided that politics suited him much better, and was eventually elected governor of Gadrin shortly before the Battle of Naboo. He genuinely liked what he did, and tried to keep the populace uninterested in politics in order to secure his own position. He was taken aback by a request from the Five Masters of the Wookiee Liberation Front to build a school on Cularin, and spent a good deal of time researching them as construction continued. When the Five Masters arrived to take over the building, Chistor was again surprised when the Masters took him as their first student. He was cut off from all aspects of life on Cularin, instead being forced to concentrate on his new studies by his Zabrak Master, the Master in Violet. In the wake of the Clone Wars, the Five Masters Academy was attacked by a shadowy force that burned the facility to the ground. Chistor arrived shortly after the attack, and found the Master in Violet fighting back against the assailant, who was seemingly a blur that the eye could not focus on. Unable to determine a good way to combat the attacker, Chistor took up the weapon that had been developed to fight General Grievous and fired at the shadowy form. In the resulting explosion, the attacker escaped into the jungle, but the Master in Violet was able to survive the attack. However, the dead bodies around them suddenly sprang to life, and they were forced to fight their way free of the Violet Gallery. They fled into the jungle, and were not seen again. (LFC, LFCW)

Chistori
This sibilant language was the native tongue of the Chistori race. (WOTC)

Chistori
This was a lizard-like, humanoid race known for their imposing countenance. A secretive people, the Chistori were fiercely independent and known for their warrior society. Their homeworld was a mystery to the rest of the galaxy, and no record existed of them in the Jedi Archives of the Old Republic. Like most reptiles, the Chistori were cold-blooded, and their thick scales gave them a natural form of armor. Because of their reptilian nature, the Chistori avoided cold climates whenever possible. The average Chistori was distinguished by their small, black eyes and their long snout. (PH, WOTC, RF4)

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

Chitin Armor
This was a generic term used to describe a form of body armor that was modeled after the defenses of a long-dead, insectile race of beings. It was believed that the original forms of chitin armor were produced by the Ubese hunters of Uba IV. (NEGW, SWG2P)

Chitlik
This small marsupial, native to the planet Ord Cestus, was hunted as a food source by the Cestians. They lived in the caves that could be found along the treeline of the Zantay Hills, and were easily distinguished by their orange-striped pelt. The mammary secretions of the chitlik - known as kista - were used to make a number of tasty stews. In order to harvest the kista, however, the chitliks had to be captured alive, so humane traps were set each night. During the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War, chitliks were exported and bred as pets. They became wildly popular following the Second Galactic Civil War, and it seemed like every being had one tucked away in a bag or pocket. (TCD, FJ2)

Chitter
This large, blue-skinned, bird-like alien was studying at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 when Anakin Solo first attended the academy. (LW)

Chitterweb
A raucous creature native to the moon Yavin 4. (JE)

Chituhr
According to Ewok legend, this nature spirit helped to lead scouts and hunters to food and water. (GCG)

Chituhr
This was a common name for Ewok males. Like other Ewok names, it referred to a spirit or character in the Ewoks' mythology. (GCG)

Chituhr
An Ewok, and the animal trainer of the Jinda tribe. (ECAR)

Chiutatal
When translated into Basic, this Ewok word meant "moon." (GPB)

Chivkyrie, Yeeru
This male Adarian was one of the Alliance's primary supporters in the Shelsha Sector of the galaxy, during the months following the Battle of Yavin. As the leader of the Republic Redux, Chivkyrie believed that his organization could only augment the Alliance, an opinion that was not shared by Shelsha Sector's other rebel cells. Thus, while Mon Mothma and the leaders of the Alliance would have welcomed the addition of Chivkyrie's forces, they feared that the other leaders would pull their support, thereby reducing the Alliance's strength.

Chivkyrie agreed to meet with Leia Organa and the other rebel leaders to negotiate a deal, but only at a neutral site. On a starship, Chivkyrie revealed that he wished to bring the entire Shelsha Sector over to the Alliance. He had been secretly working with Chief Administrator Vilim Disra, who assured him that Governor Barshnis Choard was planning to secede the sector from the Empire. By bringing in Princess Leia, Chivkyrie hoped that she would be able to talk to Governor Choard about their plans, since his own standing within the Adarian society prevented him from doing so directly.

Unknown to Chivkyrie, however, was the fact that Disra was hoping to smash the resistance in Shelsha Sector and gain power for himself. There was to be no meeting with Governor Choard, but Disra hoped that a high-ranking Alliance official would still try to set up the meeting. When he finally saw through Disra's schemes, Chivkyrie realized that he had placed his fellow rebels in grave danger. He renounced his social status and volunteered to help get them off Shelkonwa, but was only able to ensure the escape of Thillis Slanni and Ydor Vokkoli when the Imperials shut down the spaceports and began searching specifically for Leia Organa. In order to hide the Princess, Chivkyrie found her a job as a waitress, hiding her in plain sight until she was rescued by Han Solo and Luke Skywalker. (A)

Chivos
This man was the head foreman at the Mensix Mining Facility on Mustafar, during the early years of the New Order. He worked for Mil at the time, and often found himself at odds with the chief administrator over supplies and adequate downtime for his miners. Chivos was unaware that Milo had made a separate deal with Darth Vader, and was unable to provide the necessary supplies on his own. (SWGAL)

Chizk
This was an expletive used to describe dung or excrement. (CWWS)

Chizzik, Pax
This young boy was a student at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the last years of the Old Republic. Known for his enormous spirit and charm, Pax was just eleven years old at the height of the Clone Wars. Many of his fellow students believed that Pax actually used the Force to make people like him, a skill that was borne out when he was paired against Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy in the Apprentice Tournament. He gently persuaded her to let him win their match, and might have succeeded if Scout hadn't figured out what he was doing. Scout eventually defeated Pax by using some of the hand-to-hand fighting techniques she had learned. Pax watched Scout's progress throughout the tournament, and was as surprised as everyone else when Scout ended up winning the whole thing. As he explained to her afterward, she opened his eyes to the roles of resourcefulness and tenacity in the actions of a Jedi. (YDR)

Ch'lessan, Gowan
This tall, dark, and handsome man was a member of the Alliance. A native of the planet Chandrila, he was inspired by the speeches of Mon Mothma, and joined the Alliance at the age of 18. He served under Commander Briessen as a member of Lieutenant Haslam's commando team. (SWJ10, TFE)

Chlorophyllian
This was a generic term used by xenobiologists to describe any sentient race which had a body that was largely made from vegetable matter, and which gathered sustenance with the aid of chlorophyll-like chemicals in their systems. The Zelosian race was a prime example of a chlorophyllian species. (DSTR)

Ch'manss System
This star system was located near the Al'har System, along the Gevarno Loop. During the Clone Wars, the Ch'manss System was loyal to the Old Republic. (SHPT)

Ch'no
This H'drachi seer adopted the infant Mora when her family was killed. Ch'no knew that she would later be revealed as the sole living heir to the ruling house of M'haeli, but he kept that secret for a long time. His adoption of Mora put him at odds with the other H'drachi, who saw the presence of humans on their planet as a scourge. Ch'no and Mora were the only two beings which could disrupt the time-streams on M'haeli, which made travelling among other H'drachi without being seen nearly impossible. (ROC)

Cho
This was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Cho, Aran
This man served the Imperial Navy as a Captain, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The latest in a long line of strict military officers, Cho was known to his subordinates as a stren taskmaster who brooked no disgruntlement with his orders. As a young man, Cho graduated with honors from the Imperial Academy, and quickly rose through the ranks of officers, due to his knowledge of strategy and tactics as well as his ability to motivate his crew. Cho was considered to be fair and reasonable to those crew members who toed the line and obeyed his orders, but those who stepped out of line were swiftly - and often, brutally - punished. Cho usually administered corporal punishment to those who disobeyed him, and it was said that this was the only time he ever smiled in front of a subordinate. Despite his mean streak, Cho was respected by his crew members, many of whom were afraid to get a "personal visit" from Cho. Cho aspired to a position of military command, hoping to surpass his father and rise above the rank of Commander. (UA)

Cho, Chi
This Pantoran served as the Supreme Chairman of the Pantoran Assembly and the Exalted Ruler of his homeworld of Pantora, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Cho was known for his adamant protection of the Pantoran people, although he often saw threats where none existed. Thus, Chi Cho petitioned the Galactic Senate to gain approval for the establishment of the Glid Station listening post on the planet Orto Plutonia, a world that was under the control of the Pantoran Assembly. Chairman Cho later learned that a group of Talz had settled on the planet, but considered them to be ignorant savages. Thus, when communication with the Glid Station outpost was lost, Chairman Cho immediately believed that the Separatists had been behind it. Upon landing on Orto Plutonia with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, Cho and Senator Riyo Chuchi found that Glid Station had indeed been attacked, but only the clone troopers had been killed. The computer systems were intact, indicating that the attackers had probably not been Separatists at all. When Senator Chuchi cited that the Senate should decide whether the presence of the Talz on Orto Plutonia gave them a claim to the world, Chairman Cho refused to accept this, and when Kenobi later tried to negotiate a pact between the Talz and the Pantorans, Chi Cho refused to enter into any agreement. When the Jedi discovered that the Talz were intelligence, they could not let the Pantorans simply assume control of the situation. Thoroughly angered at how the situation was turning out, Chi Cho took control of a group of clone troopers and tried to wipe out the Talz, only to underestimate their ability to defend themselves. Chi Cho and his forces were quickly overrun, and Chi Cho himself was fatally wounded before reinforcements could arrive. As he died, he demanded that Senator Chuchi continue the fight. (CWTV15, SWDB)

Cho, Min
This was a noted Gossam individual, distinguished in the history of the planet Castell. (UANT)

Cho Leem, Thracia
This woman was a Jedi Master, and a contemporary of Mace Windu. She was easily distinguished by her close-cropped grey hair and her aquiline features, which offset her short stature. Her strength was in healing and in the training of female Jedi Knights, and often ignored male padawan candidates. She was often away from Coruscant on her own explorations, allowing the will of the Force to tell her when to travel again, but was always aware of the progress of young Anakin Skywalker. In fact, she was one of the few Masters who chided the Jedi Council for being too stodgy to truly advance Anakin's training. However, in the aftermath of Vergere's disappearance and the discoveries found on the planet Zonama Sekot, she left the Order and disappeared herself. Historians believed that Thracia Cho Leem was not one of the handful of Jedi who were known as The Lost. (RP, PJSB, EGF)

Cho Mai
One of the marks of combat recognized by the Jedi Order, cho mai was one of the more preferred forms of striking an opponent with a lightsaber. The Jedi Knight who employed a cho mai attack cut off an opponent's weapon hand, eliminating the threat of attack while causing minimal physical damage. In addition to the fact that cho mai caused little harm to the opponent, it showed great skill and respect on the part of the Jedi who executed the maneuver. The precision required to complete cho mai indicated a Jedi's skill and technique. (SWI62, EGF)

Cho Mak Jung Ma
see Cho Mok (SWGAL)

Cho Mok
Related to the marks of contact cho mai and cho sun that were described by the Jedi Knights, cho mok involved the maiming of an opponent by cutting off a leg or other appendage. It was most often used whenever other techniques failed to halt an opponent's advances, but was considered by many Jedi Masters to show a lack of respect for life. Cho mok was also considered part of the Jung ma class of sweep disciplines, since it involved the swinging of a lightsaber through a 360-degree turn. Thus, was was sometimes referred to as Cho Mok Jung Ma. (SWI62, SWGAL, EGF)

Cho Mok Jung Ma
see Cho Mok (SWGAL)

Cho Nor Hoola
This dish was considered a Hutt delicacy. Many non-Hutts thought it tasted like cooked rubber. (SSR, SWG2P)

Cho Sun
Similar to the mark of contact known as cho mai described by the Jedi Knights, cho sun was the cutting off of an opponent's entire arm. While this was equally effective in eliminating an opponent's weapon while causing minimal damage, cho sun was considered less elegant than cho mai. Nevertheless, it was often the quickest way to deal with an aggressive opponent, when surprise was necessary or when no chances could be taken. Cho sun was also considered a strike discipline, one of the offensive moves used in Jedi combat. (SWI62, SWGAL, EGF)

Choah Belt
The Alliance maintained a fuel refinery in this asteroid system until shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The Empire discovered its location and destroyed it, forcing the Alliance to try and hijack the Black Ice. (BI)

Choal
This was one of many cities on the planet Jabiim which saw massive conflicts during the Clone Wars. (RBJ)

Choard, Barshnis
This bearded man served as the Imperial Governor of the planet Shelkonwa, during the height of the New Order. Although he was regarded as a competent administrator, Choard maintained close ties to many wealthy and influential members of Shelsha Sector's elite. This put him under the suspicions of Emperor Palpatine, who had dispatched Mara Jade to investigate Moff Glovstoak and his possible ties to the Alliance.

A large man whose bushy beard made him look more like a pirate than a governor, Choard ruled over Shelsha Sector with an iron fist with assistance from his chief administrator, Vilim Disra. However, he was unaware of Disra's own treacherous plans to assume control of the sector. Thus, he was surprised when Disra shut down all the planet's spaceport, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Disra explained that there had been intelligence that the Nightowk Repository was to be robbed, hiding the fact that he was actually trying to capture Princess Leia Organa. Because Choard owned several valuable pieces of art that were stored at the Nightowk, he believed Disra's story and agreed to the shutdown of the spaceports.

Unknown to both Choard and Disra, however, was the fact that Mara Jade's investigation into Moff Glovstoak's embezzling of Imperial funds had led her to the BloodScar pirates. The BloodScars had been involved with the Imperials, ambushing civilian transports and turning over large portions of their spoils to the Imperials. Jade further discovered that several BloodScar ambushes had taken Imperial vessels as well, further implicating Choard in a grand plot to build his own small empire. The final pieces of the puzzle fell into place on Gepparin, where Jade was nearly killed by an attack by the Star Destroyer Reprisal, which had been ordered to destroy the pirates in order to cover up their role in Choard's plans, as well as to eliminate Mara and ensure she couldn't complete her investigation.

Jade tracked him down at the governor's residence in Makrin City, on Shelkonwa, with the help of the stormtroopers of the Hand of Judgment. Their mission to assassinate Choard was stopped when Saberan Marcross revealed that he was actually the Governor's nephew, and couldn’t allow the others to fire. Choard tried to buy his way to freedom by holding Marcross hostage, but he was forced to submit to capture when the blaster he was holding lacked enough power to be fired. This situation suited Jade just fine, knowing that capturing Choard alive would meant that he would be forced to endure a long and arduous interrogation session. (A)

Choard, Crayg
A native of Shelkonwa, this young man was the son of Imperial Governor Barshnis Choard. As a youth, Crayg used to sneak out of the governor's residence at night, to hit the clubs and cantinas in Makrin City. Among his companions during these excursions was Saberan Marcross. Their friendship gave Marcross a knowledge of the governor's residence that came in handy years later, when he served as a stormtrooper under the Emperor's Hand, Mara Jade.

During their investigation of Governor Choard's possible connection to the BloodScar Pirates, Marcross discovered that the Governor had been using Crayg's unregistered HoloNet connection to communicate with the pirates, in an effort to hide the transmissions. Marcross, however, knew of the connection from the times when Crayg used to call back to Shelkonwa for additional credits. This evidence was enough to complete Jade's investigation, and put Governor Choard in prison for a long time. (A)

Choarn
This fearless, blue, eel-like creature scavenges the seas of the planet Calamari. They can sense the presence of blood in the water from great distances, and will attack anything in the ocean, including other packs of choarn. The Quarren have developed a number of ways to cook the choarn as a food source. (DU)

Choba
This Dug worked as an interrogation expert for Jib Kopatha, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Choba was brought in to torture Han Solo for information about the location of the Alliance fleet, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, as part of terms for the repayment of Sheel Odala's debt to Kopatha. Solo refused to cooperate, and Kopatha became increasingly angry at both Solo and Choba. It was then that Sheel and Chewbacca arrived to rescue Solo. As they entered Kopatha's lair, Sheel shot Choba in the neck, killing the Dug instantly. (SWEIA)

Chobbick
A lowly, ill-regarded alien creature. (JTH)

Chobodd
This Huttese term translated roughly into Basic as "in addition to" or "also." (E1A14)

Choclime Twist
This was a dessert which was popular during the height of the New Republic. (SQ)

Choco
A battered old R2 unit discovered by R2-D2 in the Great Heap's droid harem. (TGH)

Chod
This was a Twi'lek swear word, used as a derogatory way to describe excrement. (LFCW)

ChoFi
This tall, heavily-muscled alien stood over 2 meters in height. A Senator for the New Republic, he was one of Leia Organa-Solo's closest friends, having been elected early in the existence of the New Republic. (TNR)

Chofin
Akanah grew up in this settlement, found on the planet Carratos. (SOL)

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

Choi
A planet which was home to the Choi race (TJP)

Choi
An alien race from the planet Choi. (TJP)

Choi, Tsui
This small, blue Aleena was a Jedi Master, and a contemporary of Mace Windu and Qui-Gon Jinn during the final decades of the Old Republic. Tsui Choi was known as a skilled pilot, and could make a capital ship do things reserved for starfighters. He and his student, Theen Fida, were part of a team dispatched to the planet Yitheeth, in an effort to locate the Yinchorri command center. Master Choi was disheartened when Theen Fida was killed on Yinchorr while guarding their starship, but steeled himself for the work to come. Master Choi later caught Vilmarh Grahrk's cousin, before the Devaronian could steal the ship. For his actions on Yinchorr, Master Choi was to be added to the Jedi Council, but the chaos of the Clone Wars prevented any promotion. Later, Master Choi was part of the force dispatched by the Old Republic to the planet Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. The VCD987 was attacked by Separatist forces and boarded, with the Separatist forces led by Count Dooku himself. Dooku let the Jedi return to Coruscant, but ordered his forces to eliminate any clone troopers aboard the ship. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Master Choi was able to maintain a low profile, and escaped to Eriadu during the initial wave of the Jedi Purge. After being located by Bultar Swan, Tsui Choi traveled to Kessel, where a group of Jedi led by Master Shadday had banded together and determine a course of action. Unknown to the other Jedi, Shadday had leaked information that Obi-Wan Kenobi was going to be on Kessel, drawing Darth Vader and the 501st Legion to Kessel. Shadday hoped that eight Jedi could defeat the Sith Lord, but none escaped. During the fighting, Master Choi severed Vader's right hand, although this only enraged the Sith Lord. Vader took hold of Choi's body with the Force, suspending it in mid-air while his clone troopers shot and killed the Jedi Master. Reports later presented by Imperial HoloVision claimed that Master Choi and the other Jedi on Kessel had been killed for part in trafficking spice from Kessel. (AOW, J4, OWS, SWI87, SWP)

Choi'olan
This Twi'lek hoped to provide his family holdings in Kala'uun with transparisteel windows, giving them a grand view of the Ryloth mountains around them. He offered a collection of independent spacers a 25,000-credit reward for the first ones to bring him the transparisteel plates he needed. (PSPG)

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

Choka, Nas
This Yuuzhan Vong was the supreme commander of the war fleet which invaded the known galaxy. Despite his position of power, Nas Choka was smaller than most of the Yuuzhan Vong, but no less powerfully built. He wore a deep red cape, signifying his position as supreme commander, and his fingers and arms were covered with rings and signets. He hated the fact that Nom Anor was given a second chance to lead the fleet during the invasion, and was inwardly pleased when the plan to infiltrate Elan into the Jedi Knights failed. In the wake of Elan's death, Choka ordered Commander Tla and the priest, Harrar, back to the Outer Rim and away from the front line of the invasion. Nas Choka also questioned the tactic of destroying the Jedi Knights before conquering the galaxy, claiming that the Force was just an idea, and could be replaced with something else. Nas Choka's fleet was later assigned to Hutt Space, where it quickly subjugated the Hutts and took control of many worlds and spacelanes. After the death of Warmaster Tsavong Lah at the Battle of Ebaq, Nas Choka was recalled from Hutt Space and named the new Warmaster. He immediately made an impact on his superiors, ordering his commanders to withdraw from battles they couldn't win, in order to save their warships for another fight. This smacked of heresy, since it was the Yuuzhan Vong way to fight to the death, Nas Choka, however, realized that the Yuuzhan Vong needed living warriors to completely subjugate the galaxy. With the losses of Yag'Shul, Thyferra, and Fondor, Nas Choka decided to change the tactics of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. Rather than focus on specific military targets, Nas Choka devised a plan to destroy the New Republic's HoloNet. This would render their realtime communications worthless, eliminating the advantage of interstellar coordination of forces. Although the plan worked well, and thwarted the Republic's Operation Trinity, Nas Choka continued to wonder about the ongoing plans for ending the resistance of the Republic. When Supreme Overlord Shimrra announced plans to decisively strike at the Galactic Alliance by attacking Mon Calamari, Nas Choka was the first to request that additional planning be put to the mission. Where Shimrra wanted a final death blow so that he avoid facing the Galactic Alliance and Zonama Sekot, Nas Choka was concerned that the enemy was gaining strength in other areas of the galaxy. While Mon Calamari might be taken, the Yuuzhan Vong would be weakened in other locations. He nevertheless acceded to the Supreme Overlord's wishes, and set out for Mon Calamari. The attack went as planned, and just as he was about to call in reinforcements, Nas Choka received word that Zonama Sekot had reappeared near Coruscant. He ordered the fleet to return to the capital immediately, and placed the fleet between the living planet and the Citadel. When Shimrra revealed his ultimate plan - to use the Alpha Red infected coralskipper that had returned from Caluula to poison Zonama Sekot - Nas Choka personally led the protective fleet that accompanied it. When the coralskipper was free to plunge into Zonama Sekot's surface, Nas Choka then turned his attention to the rest of the battle, planning to destroy the Ralroost and eliminate the leadership of the Galactic Alliance's forces. When he saw that Shimrra's escape craft had launched from the Citadel, he moved his ship Yammka's Mount into position to recover it. Unknown to Nas Choka, however, was that Shimrra was already dead, and Onimi was about to die at the hands of Jacen Solo. When the escape craft plunged into Coruscant after dying, Nas Choka realized that the war was over. He offered his subordinates the chance to die in battle or to take their own lives, or to throw in their lot with him and surrender to the Galactic Alliance. Although many chose suicide over surrender, Nas Choka welcomed those who joined him in surrender. After the deaths of Shimrra and Onimi - who proved to be the true Supreme Overlord - Nas Choka and the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong agreed to surrender to the Galactic Alliance. Nas Choka himself, upon learning the truth about Zonama Sekot's relationship with Yuuzhjan'tar, personally called his commanders and their forces back to Coruscant to surrender. In accordance with the advice of Jedi master Luke Skywalker, the Galactic Alliance allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to travel to Zonama Sekot to re-establish their civilization. The planetary consciousness Sekot welcomed them with open arms, then fled into the Unknown Regions to allow its new inhabitants to evolve in peace. (HT, JE, DW, FH1, FP, UF)

Choka, Shok
This Yuuzhan Vong warrior was part of the group which invaded the Yag'Dhul system and took control of the massive space station maintained by the Givin. When Anakin Solo challenged Nom Anor to a duel, the Executor turned it down in order to complete his own mission. This action angered the warriors, for a Yuuzhan Vong warrior would be shamed if they turned such a challenge down. Shok Choka took up the challenge, and engaged Anakin in combat. During the battle, Anakin was able to get Shok Choka off-balance, and cleaved his head off with his lightsaber. (EVR)

Choka, Ushk
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)

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

Choker
This was another name for the somago. (COG)

Chokk the Eviscerator
This was the nickname used to describe Chewbacca, when the Wookiee was forced to fight in the gladiator arena on the Hollow Moon, during the height of the New Order. As Chokk the Eviscerator, Chewbacca was forced to fight the reigning champion of the arena, an immense cyborg named Dravin Razorbrain. Rather than attacking Razorbrain directly, Chewbacca used a stick to strike small stone at his head, causing Razorbrain to lose his balance and topple over. Taking advantage of Razorbrain's inability to move while on the ground, Chewbacca ripped out his wiring and rendered the cybernetics inoperable, thereby defeating Razorbrain and becoming the new champion of the gladiator arena. (HMK)

Chokla
Chell's lover, Chokla was also a member of the Five. Chell and Chokla discovered that Chewbacca had escaped their Menagerie, and freed its denizens.

He owned the Luudrian Star, which he used to run weapons in the Mid and Outer Rims. As a youth on Ryloth, Tru'eb aspired to become a member of the headclan of Kala'uun, his home city. He hoped to arm the Twi'leks and allow them to resist the slavers who continually raided their planet. As he learned more about the politics of Kala'uun, he found that Ku'amar - his own cousin - had been secretly plotting to take control of the city for himself. However, despite his pleas, Tru'eb was outcast and was sold into slavery to Big Quince. However, Quince used Tru'eb more as a personal servant than a slave. Tru'eb, for all his loyalty to Big Quince, continually schemed to escape. His plans were furthere when he met a yougn slavefirl named Platt Okeefe. They stole Quince's personal shuttle and fled. Platt later paid Tru'eb for his help in escaping from Big Quince, and he used the money to buy the Luudrian Star. Both Tru'eb and Platt were working on Zelos II, and had hired Dirk Harkness to help, when they discovered the hidden Imperial garrison there. They tipped the New Republic to the garrison's location, but Harkness went in to ensure the base was destroyed. He was captured in the attempt, and the Republic's forces were virtually wiped out. Platt and Tru'eb eventually rescued Harkness, since both believed he was a good man, and also rescued Jai Raventhorn. (SWJ8, TFNR, CRO, PSPG)

This young man was one of Ren S'orn's friends on Simpla-12. Cholly, along with his buddies Weez and Tup, were bumblers at best who worked hard not to work at all. The three friends agreed to help Obi-Wan Kenobi and Astri Oddo investigate Ren's death and the machinations of Jenna Zan Arbor. After Tino told Obi-Wan and Astri of Captain Yur T'aug's halt to the investigation of Ren's death, Weez, Cholly, and Tup followed the two to Coruscant. They hoped to find the location of Zan Arbor's hidden stash of medicines and vaccines, taking them and selling them for a huge profit. They had planned to steal them all along, but Ren had told them to stay away from Zan Arbor. Weez felt that if the trio could see Ren's belongings, they could locate the stash and obtain the medicines. The trio returned to Simpla-12 with Obi-Wan and Astri, but were unable to help them infiltrate Zan Arbor's lab. The trio tried to redeem themselves by helping Astri locate Ona Nobis, first tailing the bounty hunter on Sorrus and then following her to Belasco. In the end, the boys never saw any fighting, but provided "moral support." They agreed to travel to Coruscant with Astri to work as Didi's Café. (EVE, TDR)

Cholo
This Bakurna man was a computer slicer who was active during the early years of the New Republic. (GUN)

Cholus, Aven
Born into the prestigious Cholus family of the planet Pencael IV, this woman was trained as a pilot in her youth and planned to join the Imperial Academy like her brother Senn. However, she found herself morally opposed to the oppression of the Empire, and deserted her family to join the Alliance. She was soon assigned as a pilot to Scandium Team, and became the leader of the Team's flight crews when Jouffer Talamiin was injured in the Battle of Gendrah-Narvin. She earned the Alvace Star at the Battle of Fendry, and was one of just six members of Scandium Team to survive the Wellte-ir Massacre, where she rescued the other survivors from the Umber Banks. Aven was assigned to Gale Team, but her inability to leader the former smugglers led to a demotion. She served the rest of her military career as a shuttle pilot, but harbored a great deal of guilt at the loss of Scandium Team. (SWJ11)

A dim-witted creature. (TFE)

Chooba
This species of small, burrowing creature was native to the planet Kirdo, where it was the primary source of food for the Kitonak. A single chooba could sustain a Kitonak for almost a month. The Kitonak "hunted" choobas by standing still and mimicking a sulfaro plant, the favorite feeding site of the chooba. The chooba were nomadic, always searching for a growth of sulfaro on which to feed. When they encounted a sulfaro plant, choobas would crawl up and across its surface, looking for an opening that would allow them to gain access to the plant's inner flesh. Because the mouth of a Kitonak was very similar in appearance to the interior of the sulfaro plant, many choobas simply crawled in, looking for food. Instead, the choobas were consumed by the Kitonak. (GG4, NEGA)

Choobies
This was a vulgar slang term for the male genitals. (HSE, TTSB)

Chooca

Chopper
This scar-faced clone trooper was part of the force dispatched to the planet Christophsis, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The scars that covered the right side of Chopper's face were a reminder of the fighting that took place during the Battle of Geonosis, and another battle injury altered the color of his right eye. Serving under Sergeant Slick, Chopper and his fellow clones were part of the task force dispatched by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to locate a suitable ambush site for attacking the Separatist droids who were invading the planet. However, the chosen site was compromised, and the clones were trapped by swarms of droids. The Jedi managed to reach the ambush site after fighting through other droids, and helped even the battle field. In the wake of the failed ambush, Chopper and his squad mates were questioned by Captain Rex and Commander Cody about a possible spy in their team. Chopper explained that he was in the mess hall with Sketch and Punch, but the other clones claimed that Chopper came in much later. When pressed about this, Chopper revealed that he had been secretly stringing droid fingers onto a necklace, breaking protocol for keeping souvenirs from battle. Rex and Cody were doubly concerned, because of the breach of protocol and because Chopper had found it easy to lie about his actual whereabouts. However, Chopper refused to be the scapegoat, and revealed that he had seen Sergeant Slick moving around outside the barracks, and when Slick let slip that he knew where the Jedi were, Rex and Cody knew that Slick was the spy. (CWOC1, CWTV16)

A shortbread made from chorba by the natives of the planet Vernet. (SWJ15)

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

When he learned that Zaalbar was with the Jedi, Chorrawl agreed to help them depose Chuundar and replace him with Freyyr. (KOTOR)

Chorssk
This Trandoshan pirate, known to his associates as "Jungle," was one of the first beings to actually domesticate mynocks. He used these trained mynocks to attack the ships he wanted to board, sending flocks of the creatures into space to begin disabling his prey. Chorssk's mynocks differed in many ways from their wild cousins, not the least of which the fact that they were born from a female instead of being created by fission. The young ate their mother, and were viable adults in just hours. Chorssk acquired his mynocks from a remote planet, where the natives used them to hunt. Xenobiologists later classified his creatures as a distinct subspecies of mynocks, known as Chorsskian or blue mynocks. (WOTC, NEGA)

Chorsskian Mynock
This subspecies of mynock, also known as the blue mynock, was originally bred by the Trandoshan pirate, Chorssk. These mynocks were distinguished from their wild cousins by the fact that they were born from a female instead of being created by fission.

Chosen One
This individual was prophecied by ancient Jedi legends, the origins of which were lost over the millennia. The basic premise of the prophecy was that a being would be born of the Force, seemingly brought into the world simply by the presence of midi-chlorians. The Chosen One would be born to a mother who was not naturally impregnated, a conception enacted by the will of the Force. This being would be incredibly connected to the Force, with a high level of skills even before training. Over time, the Chosen One would become a vessel of pure Force energy, a being more powerful than any Jedi in history. As detailed in the Great Holocron of the Jedi Knights, the Chosen One would become a Jedi who would destroy the Sith and bring balance to the Force. According to the larger prophecy, a period of dark times would literally unfold across the galaxy, and the Chosen One would be born in their midst. Eventually, the prophecy proclaimed that the Chosen One will bring balance to the Force throughout the galaxy by destroying the Sith.

The earliest known debate about the possibility of the Chosen One occurred some 1,200 years before the Battle of Yavin, although the origins of the prophecy were believed to be older than that. The Jedi Order noticed that the nature of the Force in the galaxy began to change about 200 years before the Battle of Yavin, leading many Jedi Masters to believe that the dark times were indeed unfolding on the galaxy. Qui-Gon Jinn believed that he had found the Chosen One when he discovered Anakin Skywalker on Tatooine, ten years before the onset of the Clone Wars. The Jedi Order, however, refused to fully accept the presence of Anakin as the Chosen One, and had insulated itself so far from the galaxy that they were unaware of the rise to power of Darth Sidious.

Ultimately, Qui-Gon was proven correct, although the entire galaxy suffered for it. Anakin Skywalker was trained as a Jedi Knight, but eventually became Darth Sidious' apprentice, Darth Vader. It was Vader who led the Jedi Purge that exterminated nearly all the Jedi Knights in the galaxy, leaving two Sith - Darth Sidious and Darth Vader - and two Jedi Knights - Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda. However, Sidious' power continued to grow, a factor not explicitly covered in the legends. As the Emperor gained power, first Obi-Wan and then Yoda died, leaving just Anakin's son Luke as the sole Jedi Knight. Luke's strength in the Force brought Anakin into contact with his son at the Battle of Endor, where Anakin fulfilled his destiny by destroying Darth Sidious. The deaths of Yoda and Sidious, along with Anakin's return to the Light Side of the Force, eliminated the imbalance caused years earlier.

Luke's own new Jedi Order recognized that the Force was not simply light and dark, but a single entity comprised of both good and evil. The appearance of the Yuuzhan Vong and the planet Zonama Sekot only provided more evidence as to the true nature of the Force, as a single force that was neither light nor dark. However, the reappearance of Emperor Palpatine's clones and the fall of Jacen Solo to the ways of the Sith opened the debate about the exact identity of the Chosen One, since Anakin Skywalker had apparently failed to destroy the Sith. Solo was trained by Lumiya, the so-called Dark Lady of the Sith, who had trained under Darth Vader. He assumed the title of Darth Caedus, and proclaimed himself the new Dark Lord of the Sith. Some of the modern Jedi historians tried to explain Anakin Skywalker was the Chosen One because he destroyed all the known Sith of his time. They reasoned that, because the Force was always balanced by good and evil, the prophecy of the Chosen One referred not to a single individual in history, but to the being who brought the Force back into balance whenever necessary. (E1, E2N, LEV, E3N, RFDV, EGF)

Chosen One
This was the name of a fanatical cult leader whose followers sought to expand terrorist activity on the planet Lannik, in the decade leading up to the Battle of Naboo.

This Givin pirate was, at one time, a priest among his people and an expert in "transfinite hyperspacial mathematics." He dreamed of being rich, and resigned his priesthood after the Fractal Heresy. He soon found work as an astrogator aboard a bulk freighter, but his xenophobia forced him to find other work. He was later employed by a the Duros who owned the Tesserahedron, which Chrag'mak'al eventually purchased out from underneath the Duros and manned with Givin officers. He used the Givin's ability to survive for a short period in hard vacuum to his advantage during boarding operations, breeching his victims' ships and allowing the interior atmosphere to bleed out, killing all aboard but leaving the ship open to Givin takeover. (PP)

Chral
This gambler and his comrades, Jemmy and Tol, were known for their ability to separate wealthy gamers from their credits.

When Peppi Bow reported that her shaaks were becoming agitated in a way that resembled their actions during the Battle of Naboo, Chrin spoke out in defense of his men's vigilance, stating that their sensors would have detected the presence of battle droids on Naboo. On orders from Queen Neeyutnee, Captain Typho took Chrin out to scout the situation, and they discovered a squad of battle droids moving in a nearby valley. Typho reminded Chrin to always respect and trust those around him, even if they are not human. The remains of the battle droids they destroyed were taken for investigation, and it was discovered that they were caked with mud that was only found in certain eastern swamps. With this information, the Naboo were able to discover a secret laboratory where Separatist scientists were creating a deadly, new strain of the Blue Shadow Virus. (CWOC1)

Christophsian
This was a term used to describe the human natives of the planet Christophsis. (OWS)

Although the Republic's forces won that battle, they eventually had to surrender Christophsis to the Separatists. The planet was blockaded by a fleet led by the wily Admiral Trench, until Trench was killed in a battle with Republic forces. (CWVG, CWTV38)

Chroma Zed
This planet was the homeworld of the Chroman race. Much of its landscape was dominated by incredible vistas, many of which were incorporated into the amphitheaters that dotted its landscape. Sheers cliffs were split by majestic waterfalls, some of which contained not only water but natural petroleum that had bubbled to the surface over the millennia. The Chromans lived in caves and chambers that had been carved from the rocky cliffs. (DIV)

Chroman
This sentient race of worm-like, humanoid beings was native to the planet Chroma Zed. A Chroman had smooth skin that covered their entire body, and had small, webbed hands that could be used to move about. These beings burrowed into the rocky cliffs of their homeworld, carving out chambers and tunnels that formed their cities. Chromans lived near water, which they needed to keep their bodies moist. Any Chroman exposed to the dry air of a desert found that its body began to dry out almost immediately. The Imperial forces that subjugated the planet took advantage of this, dragging individual Chromans onto sunbaked rocks to force the others into submission. Thus, after the Imperials were driven off Chroma Zed, the Chromans refused to expose much more than their heads whenever they met with off-worlders. (DIV)

Chroma-neeka
This was a gambler's slang term for any being who worked within the corporate and political bureaucracy to exploit the knowledge that there were people who were too stupid for their own good.

This strong fabric was used to create a minimal form of armor. Chromasheath was an iridescent fabric similar to leather in its appearance and uses. (FFT, HSE, CSA)

Chromatic
This was a form of lighting that used subtle colors to create a specific ambience in a room or structure. (CN2)

Chroma-wing Flier
This was the name given to the adult stage of the Ruurian lifecycle. Chroma-wing fliers were single-minded creatures that existed simply to eat, fly, and mate. This made them invaluable to their species' survival, but they were incapable of leadership. Thus, larval Ruurians were the individuals who actually ran their society, tending the chroma-wing fliers and the pupae in order to perpetuate their race. In many respects, the chroma-wing flier retains nothing of its larval self, and many Ruurians try to live their lives to the fullest while larvae. (HSL)

Chromite
This blue-white ore was mined on several worlds, including New Brigia and Allyuen. (BTS, WOA33)

Chromium
This metal was rumored to be found in great quantities on Aduba-3, but the rumor was proved false. Nevertheless, chromium was one of the primary metals used in the creation of droid plating, which had to be as light as possible, yet provide modest durability. (MC7, VD)

Chromostring
This patented synthetic chemical was created by BioTech, and was used in synthflesh. It quickly determined the victim's genetic structure and modified itself to match it. This allowed skin grafts to grow quicker, and greatly reduced the chance of rejection. Because chromostring resulted in faster regrowth, field surgeons could cut deeper into a wound to cleanse it or remove debris without fear of their patients being unable to heal fast enough to avoid infection. (CFG, ROD)

Chromovon
This planet was the site of an Imperial prison facility during the height of the New Order. (PG1)

Chrona
This planet was located in the Inner Rim, near the Vaathkree Trade Corridor. Chorna was the only habitable world in the Chrona System, providing agricultural resources for many neighboring systems. It had little axial tilt, thereby maintaining a consistent growing season almost year-round. The average day on Chrona lasted 25 standard hours, and its year lasted 348 local days. Much of the planet was controlled by crimelords and gansters as the New Order dawned upon the galaxy, the result of the economic boom experienced when lodes of chronamite were discovered during the last years of the Old Republic. (SWJ12)

Chronamite
This valuable mineral was discovered on the planet Chorna. Unfortunately for the farmers of the planet, chronamite was also discovered to be poisonous to the banthas and other livestock they raised for food. In its unrefined state, chronamite was a shiny, black rock. Once refined, the strong metal was used to create anything from ceiling supports to starship hulls. (SWJ12)

Chronelle, Titi
This man was a slave, living in Mos Espa on Tatooine some two years before the Battle of Naboo. He was one of the slaves who were not taked during a slave raid by Krayn, and explained what happened to Amee and Anakin Skywalker. (JQ)

Chronicle, The
This was the name given to the unusual artwork that adorned the walls of the Prime Chamber on Yoggoy. When seen up close, the Chronicle appeared to be little more than a jumble of colors. However, when viewed from a distance, the subtle colors resolved themselves into a pictorial history of the Colony's expansion since The Crash. (DN1)

Chrono
This Coruscant-based newsfeed provided timely biographies of the galaxy's most notable beings, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN4)

Chrono-counter
This was a generic term used to describe any device that kept track of time as part of a larger system, such as a detonation device or a stopwatch. (RC66)

Chronometer
The equivalent of a clock or watch, the chronometer could be adjusted to match the diurnal patterns of almost every world in the galaxy. Most of the mass-produced chronometers were initially set to Coruscant standard time. This term was often shortened to simply 'chrono.' (SWSB, JS)

Chronos Belt
This asteroid belt was located between the planets Velusia and Velumia, in the Velus System. (CCW)

Chronovendor
This generic term was used to describe any roadside salesbeing who sold cheap time pieces to passersby. (LF9)

Chronowork
This was a term used by many races to describe something that moved along smoothly, with a regular cadence that could almost be measured. When something occurred "like chronowork", it almost seemed to follow a set schedule, much the same way that a chrono kept accurate track of time for long durations. (LSSM)

Chroon-Tan B-Machine
This was the name used by the Polis Massans to describe the midwife droid they developed for use in assisting females in giving birth to their offspring, during the final decades of the Old Republic. The repulsor-equipped B-Machine was given the appearance of a Polis Massan individual, with a non-descript cranium that mirrored the osmotic membrane of a Polis Massan face. A pair of paddle-like arms allowed the B-Machine to gently assist with delivery, then cradle a newborn against its soft, warm chestplate during cleaning. The simple vocabulator installed in the unit provided soothing near-words and vocalizations, which were meant to calm both the infant and the mother. A specialized nurtrient-delivery system allowed the B-Machine to gently inject fluids through a hypodermic needle, ensuring that an infant received immediate feeding. Because so little was known about the Polis Massan race in general, and their breeding habits in particular, many droid experts wondered if the B-Machine was actually a dedicated midwife droid. They reasoned that the basic design could have been created to perform any task, and that the role as a midwife came after the Polis Massans had contact with other races. (NEGD)

Chros-filik
This Phuii was a ntoed podracer during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. (BF4)

Chrysalide
This was another name for the Chrysalis Beast. (DE2)

Chrysalide Rancor
see Chrysalis Beast (DSSB)

Chrysalis Beast
A huge beast that the reborn Emperor Palpatine uses to guard his Citadel on Byss following his second reincarnation. They were created from the energy of the Dark Side of the Force, and grow in undergound chambers. They resemble rancors in shape, although they were much larger and have more humanoid characteristics. Palpatine unleashed the beasts when the New Republic launched a sneak attack on the Emperor's citadel using Balmorran Viper Automadons. The beasts were able to channel away the effects of the Vipers' weapons due to their attachment to the Dark Side, and easily destroyed the war droids and the Republic soldiers inside. (DE2)

Chrysalla
This beautiful woman was the Tieress of Ventooine, during the early years of the New Order. After Chrysalla met Han Solo and began to fall in love with him, she decided to break the tyrannical monarchy of the Satab by taking possession of the Shadeshine and using it against the Satab. She managed to hold of the Satab long enough for the debilitating effects of the Shadeshine to age him until he died. She then entombed herself in the Hall of Satabs, guarding it so that no more tyrants could rise up to control Ventooine. She gave the Shadeshine to Solo for disposal. (LTA5, MCA2)

Chrysanthus
This flowering shrub was one of the many unusual forms of life that evolved in the underworld of Coruscant, after the planet was reformed into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar by the Yuuzhan Vong. (LF3)

Chrysopaz
This was a type of valuable gemstone. Lando Calrissian received a number of them as part of his reward for returning Dack to Duchess Mistal, some seven years after the Battle of Endor. Note that The Far Orbit Project denotes this stone as "chrystopaz." (E4N, JS, FOP)

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

Chryya-class Fast Courier
This exceptionally fast Hoersch-Kessel courier ship was developed during the last decades of the Old Republic. (YDR)

Chryyx, Toh Revo
This Cerean grifter worked on the planet Coruscant during the final years of the Old Republic. Just before the formation of the Galactic Empire, Chryyx double-crossed Rokko the Hutt, prompting the Hutt to place a 15,000-credit bounty on his head. Chryyx was captured by Jax Pavan, but when he realized that he was to be turned over to Rokko, Chryyx committed suicide by stopping both of his hearts. Denied of his prize, Rokko later refused to pay Pavan, claiming that the deal had been for a live bounty. (CN1)

Chsthiss
In the native language of the Kobok race, this word meant "good-bye". (RF4)

Ch'tra
This was a command in the Cheunh language of the Chiss, which meant "go" or "begin." (OF)

Chu
This was the Ewok word for the number 1. (GPB)

Chuba
This rubbery amphibian was native to the swamps of the planet Naboo. The chuba resembled a large, splay-footed frog, and subsisted on a diet of green glie and smaller animals. They were considered to be delicacies by the Gungan race, and were often eaten by nunas. Note that the Star Wars Databank indicates that the word chuba was the Huttese name for a gorg. (E1N, SWDB)

Chuba
This was a Huttese pronoun which meant "you" or "your," depending on its usage. When shouted, it meant something like "Hey you!" However, when spit out with vehemence, chuba was an expletive that questioned the target's trustworthiness. This word was also used to describe a gorg. (IS1, GPB, SWDB, SWLG)

Chuba
This was a form of fungus that was found in the cooler recesses of the caves and caverns that were found near the terminator line of the planet Ryloth. Chuba fungus was often ground up with ryll spice to create t'pala paste, which was an effective healing agent. (TS)

Chuba ne yoka
This Huttese statement translated into Basic as "You are such a joker." (SWLC)

Chubar
This was the name of a Bilar which starred as the main character in a series of animated children's holovids which were popular during the early years of the New Order. The clever pet of a young girl, Chubar had a high level of intelligence not often associated with members of the Bilar species. The voice of Chubar was provided by Garik Loran. (SOC)

Chubb
One of Fidge's pets, Chubb was a small reptile that buried itself in the ground. (TGH)

Chubb
This Y-Wing was part a group of fighters that made up the Dimok naval forces, during the latter stages of the Sepan Civil War. (TIEP)

Chubba
This was a swear word used by the Squib race. It was believed to refer to a sort of netherworld from Squib religion or mythology. (TG, FJ2)

Chubbini
This was the native language spoken by the Chubbits of Aridus. (EGP)

Chubbit
A reptile race native to the deserts of Aridus, the Chubbits were drawn into the Alliance when Darth Vader planted an actor on Aridus. The actor was to portray Obi-Wan Kenobi, in an effort to trick Luke Skywalker to the planet. The actor became Vader's nemesis, though, when he began to believe in what Kenobi and the Alliance stood for. The Chubbits were taken by the false Kenobi's passion and valor, and assisted him in the destruction of Imperial troops. The average chubbit stands about a meter tall, and had mottled green skin. (CSW)

Chubby Gundark
This Nyubba-class barge driver was owned by the SoroSuub Corporation during the height of the New Order. This particular driver held the record for hauling thirteen barges over a distance of thirty-five parsecs or more with an uncontrolled landing, due mainly in part ot the skills of her captain, Bungo Bung. (SWJ11)

Chuchi, Riyo
This Pantoran represented her homeworld in the Galactic Senate, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Senator Chuchi was quite young, despite her position, and often felt that the older leaders of the Pantoran Assembly refused to acknowledge her abilities. After Chi Cho, the Chairman of the Pantoran Assembly, requested the construction of a listening post on Orto Plutonia, Senator Chuchi accompanied him to the planet when communications were disrupted. Along with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, they discovered that Glid Station had been attacked, and all personnel had been killed. While Chairman Cho immediately blamed the Separatists, Senator Chuchi tried to keep an open mind, fearing that the older man was simply seeing anything that might be threat to the Pantoran people. After learning that a group of Talz had been living on Orto Plutonia, and might have been living there well before the Pantorans laid claim to the planet, Senator Chuchi explained that the Senate would have to determine whether or not the world should be under the control of the Pantoran Assembly. This angered Chi Cho, who could only see the Talz as ignorant savages. When Chi Cho later led an ill-fated attack on the Talz settlement on Orto Plutonia, Senator Chuchi was forced to accept the ruling of the Pantoran Assembly an discuss a treaty with the Talz. She asked Kenobi to intervene, but he refused to step into a situation that was brought on by the Pantorans. With the help of C-3PO, Senator Chuchi was able to negotiate a truce with Thi-sen and the Talz, allowing the Talz settlement to remain on Orto Plutonia without being disturbed any further. She then traveled to Coruscant to represent Pantora in the Galactic Senate, and was part of the small group of Senators that supported Senator Philo's plan to block the Enhanced Privacy Invasion Bill. This put her in the atrium of the Senate Rotunda's East Wing when Cad Bane launched his plan to capture the Senators and hold them hostage, in order to get Ziro the Hutt freed from prison. (CWTV15, SWDB, CWTV22)

Chucka, Jak
This strong-willed Gungan male was a member of the inner circle of the Azure Cabal, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He desired the kind of power that his hero, Boss Nass, maintained, and hoped one day to become a Boss himself. To this end, and to assist with the activities of the Azure Cabal, Chucka developed and maintained an information network among the Gungan people, quietly gathering data on his allies as well as his enemies. (SWGAL)

Chuckluck
This raucous creature was native to the moon Yavin 4. The bellybird's chittering vocalizations could be heard across long distances. (JE, RF3)

Chud, Lud
This Rakaan crimelord worked from an underground base on Korad. His small empire gathered strength and wealth when the Empire took control of Elrood Sector. After Derilyn was interdicted, Torina became the last free world along the Elrood-Derilyn Trade Route. Lud Chud's operations on Torina began making money as smugglers and other spacers stopped off there to refuel and take on supplies. Lud Chud was known to eat any being which did not please him. (OE, PG3)

Chuff
This was a gelatinous food source that was simple and inexpensive to produce. It lacked any real taste, despite its nutritional value. (TJP, SWLB)

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

Chug 'n' Chuck
A bar and grill frequented by Drovian soldiers in the city of Bagsho, on Nim Drovis. Most sorts of smugglers, small-time criminals, and prostitutes could be found here. (POT)

Chuga
This Huttese adjective translated into Basic as "thirsty". (SWLL)

Chugg
This immense Reigat was employed as the chief of security at The Pits, working for Kaylo NaKuda. A former racer for Team NaKuda, he suffered a severe set of injuries in a race and was "a few gems short of a lightsaber," in the words of NaKuda. Despite the injuries, Chugg remained loyal to NaKuda, and traveled to Stend VI to serve as NaKuda's bodyguard. The security job soon followed, after Blizz Pinnix witnessed his loyalty to NaKuda. (WSV)

Chugger's Chaw
This was a brand of chewing tobacco that was popular during the last years of the Old Republic. Users of Chugger's Chaw were distinguished by the thick, green spit they ejected every so often, as the tobacco reacted with the user's saliva. (YDR)

Chu-Gon Dar Cube
These unusual devices were supposedly created by the ancient Jedi Master, Chu-Gon Dar, at the Jedi temples on Mustafar, during the early centuries of the Old Republic. Each Chu-Gon Dar Cube was a box-shaped device that could focus the energies of the Force. By using this device and his own powers, Chu-Gon could alter the physical properties of any material, turning it into something completely different. Thus, two objects put into the device could be changed into a third, altogether differnet object. The device was believed to have been lost in the wake of the Sith attack and Chu-Gon's disappearance. Doctor Ithes Olok unearthed several of them, many millennia later during the Galactic Civil War, but was unable to operate them. It was believed that a smuggler once managed to get one to work, but this claim was never proven. (SWGAL)

Chuhkyvi
This was the native language of the Chuhkyvi race of Iskalonians. (GMR1)

Chuhkyvi
This species of Iskalonian was native to the planet Aquaris. These humanoids were similar to the Inleshat, but had tan or yellowish skin and four fingers on each hand. Of all the Iskalonian races, only the Chuhkyvi had a desire to leave Iskalon and travel across the galaxy. They were also a spiritual people, and were not afraid to defend a cause that they believed to be right. Note that Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force indicates that the Chuhkyvi were from the planet Iskalon. (EGA, GMR1, EGF)

Chuk'a
This large, mollusk-like worm was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong as a waste processor. It dug through all sorts of materials, including metal and stone, with a hard, shell-like cap that contained several pincers. The chuk'a then move through rock and other material, grinding up anything it encountered and consuming it. The chuk'a then digested the material and exuded a recycled form of matter that could be used to construct buildings and structures. The looping tunnels formed as the chuk'a passed were then used to connect underground chambers. When the chuk'a was not needed, it was commanded to simply go to sleep. This sleep was very deep, and required a complex set of stimulations to rouse the chuk'a again. It was considered very dangerous to awaken a sleeping chuk'a. A number of these creatures were set loose on Coruscant, after the Yuuzhan Vong began to transform the city-world into a simulacrum of their long-lost homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar, to help destroy the deepest layers of construction below the planet's surface. (FH1)

Chukha-Trok
According to Ewok legend, this hunter was born of an Ewok and a forest spirit. (GCG)

Chukha-Trok
This was a common name for Ewok males. Like other Ewok names, it referred to a spirit or character in the Ewoks' mythology. (GCG)

Chukha-Trok
This male Ewok was a woodsman about whom many stories and songs were written during the last years of the Old Republic. He lived alone in the forests of Endor, until the Towani family's starship crashed on Endor. When Mace and Cindel went to rescue their parents, Lorgay gave them an ancient ivory tooth. When Mace encountered Chukha-Trok, he could not understand why Chukha-Trok wouldn't join their expedition. He challenged Chukha-Trok to a contest of skill in throwing axes, which Chukha-Trok won. After that, he and Mace became friends. When Deej produced the ivory tooth, they discovered that it fit an ancient jawbone worn bu Chukha-Trok, who understood that he was needed on the mission. Unfortunately, Chukha-Trok was killed in the battle with the Gorax. (EA, SWDB)

Chu'la
A Coynite nickname used by Tra'Parr'Sratt to describe Kaine Paulsen. In the Coynite language, chu'la was a modification of the term la'chu, and meant "cunning, little fox who will not be caught." (SWJ2, SWJ3)

Chule
This was the second planet in the Bissillirus System. A featureless world which appeared to have absolutely no geological activity, Chule was covered by a huge plain broken by oceans. A cold world, Chule's day lasted an average of 49 standard hours, and its year lasted 145 local days. (GMK)

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

Chull, Odnaldor
This male Klatooinan and his relative, Odnamar Chull, were wanted for the theft of several starships from the Guarja Shipyards on Nal Hutta, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. A bounty was placed on his head by Kukul the Hutt, and the pair fled to Tatooine. After nearly being caught in Mos Gamos, they fled to the Outland Transit Station. However, Odnaldor was captured on the Outland Transit Station by Jango Fett and brought in for the bounty on his head. (BH)

Chull, Odnamar
This male Klatooinan and his relative, Odnaldor Chull, were wanted for the theft of several starships from the Guarja Shipyards on Nal Hutta, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. A bounty was placed on his head by Kukul the Hutt, and the pair fled to Tatooine. After nearly being caught in Mos Gamos, they fled to the Outland Transit Station. Odnamar fled the station after Odnaldor was captured by Jango Fett. (BH)

This Hapan term was originally believed to translate into Basic as "the son of the Queen Mother." However, after the birth of Tenel Ka's daughter, Allana, the term was learned to refer to any child of the Queen Mother who had been designated as the heir to the Hapan throne. (CPL, LF3, FJ2)

Chun
This was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)

Chun, Bruck
This Jedi apprentice was a contemporary of Obi-Wan Kenobi, during the time they spent at the Jedi training center on Coruscant. Chun was a typical bully, who believed that he had more aptitude in the Force that anyone, including young Obi-Wan. He nicknamed Obi-Wan "Oafy-Wan" after he tripped and fell, bringing Chun down with him in the process. Bruck was two months younger than Obi-Wan, and was easily distinguished by his ice-blue eyes and shocking white hair. Chun hoped to impress Qui-Gon Jinn, when the Jedi Master arrived to take a new Padawan apprentice, and arranged for Obi-Wan to be sent to Bandomeer after claiming he started a fight. While Obi-Wan was dispatched to the Agricultural Corps on Bandomeer, Qui-Gon didn't choose a new Padawan, and Bruck was left on Coruscant. Bruck continued to grow in skills, however. When Qiu-Gon returned from Melida/Daan with Tahl, he agreed to take part in training exercises with the most advanced students. Bruck Chun managed to keep Qui-Gon off-guard for a long time during one battle exercise, earning the Jedi Master's respect. However, in the end, Qiu-Gon's patience and experience defeated Bruck's youthful energy and exuberance. However, despite his adherence to the Jedi code, Bruck was implicated in a series of thefts of Jedi artifacts. He was discovered to be working with a non-Jedi accomplice by Qui-Gon and Tahl. His accomplice turned out to be Xanatos, who had developed a business relationship with Bruck's father on Telos. During Xanatos' attempt to destroy the Jedi Temple and escape, Bruck was forced to battle Obi-Wan to cover Xanatos' flight. During a lightsaber duel in the Room of a Thousand Fountains, Bruck slipped on a wet rock and fell off a cliff, hitting the rocks below and breaking his neck. He was killed instantly. In the investigation into his death, it ws discovered that Xanatos had hidden a transmitter inside Bruck's lightsaber hilt, in order to listen in to the conversations inside the Jedi Temple. (RF, UP, CT, JAD)

Chun, Kad
This young man was the older brother of Bruck Chun, and was the only son of Vox Chun after Bruck was accidentally killed at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. After Bruck's death, Kad stood by his father's side during the inquest into the events of Bruck's demise. He confronted Obi-Wan Kenobi, railing at the young Padawan and refusing to forgive him for Bruck's death. Upon returning to Telos, Kad began to work toward rebuilding his homeworld, but was unable to bring about any real change. Instead, he changed his name to Uni and set out with a group of followers aboard the BioCruiser to start a new life. Later, when it was revealed that Vox Chun was behind the planned sabotage of the ship as part of the Broken Circle plan, Kad was forced to face his father's treachery head-on. When Vox was fatally shot by Kern, Kad put his anger aside and forgave his father before he died. He then set the record straight with Obi-Wan, and worked to repair their relationship. (JAD)

Chun, Vox
This man was Bruck Chun's father. Vox served as the Treasurer of the planet Telos during the time his son was at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Vox was also on Xanatos' payroll, and helped the former Jedi rise to power on Telos. After learning from Xanatos that Bruck had died on Coruscant, Vox wholly supported Xanatos' plans to implement the Galactic Criminals Act. Vox was unaware of how Xanatos had twisted the truth to his own ends, however. In the end, after Xanatos was exposed as a fraud and defeated, Chun was thrown in jail for his part in the bankrolling of UniFy and Katharsis. However, he was pardoned for his crimes just a year later, and set out to discredit the Jedi by exposing them as the cause of Bruck's death. Despite the efforts of his friend, Sano Sauro, Obi-Wan Kenobi was acquitted of any wrongdoing in Bruck's death. Vox left Coruscant angry, claiming that the Senate was being controlled by the Jedi Knights. In the followng years, Vox devoted his time to working with his surviving son, Kad, aboard the BioCruiser. His work was another cover, though, as Vox had been secretly conspiring with the remnants of Offworld Mining to steal the treasury of the BioCruiser in an effort to buy himself more power. When the plans were revealed, Vox tried to escape, but Kern - who was actually Tarrance Chenati - shot him. As Vox died, his surviving son Kad forgave him. (DOR, JAD)

Nep Chung was killed on Ralltiir, at Garyn's fortress, when Darth Maul was dispatched by Darth Sidious to eliminate any trace of evidence linking Hath Monchar to Sidious. Maul wiped out the Black Sun complex on Ralltiir, executing all the vigos and Garyn himself in order to ensure secrecy. (DM)

Chunkers
This gang was active on the planet Talus during the Galactic Civil War. The name of this gang derived from their practice of stealing weapons and equipment from the trash or dumping sites, gathering what they needed from the items other beings had "chunked" away. (GQRG, SWGAL)

Ch'unkk
This Whiphid Spearmaster was a member of the Imperial Interim Ruling Council. Ch'unkk often had a protocol droid with him, for translation purposes. His presence on the council was instrumental in keeping the Whiphid population allied with the remnants of the Empire. He was a member of the inner clique formed by Norym Kim and Mahd Windcaller, and was quick to second the nomination of Xandel Carivus to lead the Council, in the aftermath of Nolyds' assassination. However, when Carivus ordered the arrest of all non-human members of the Council after General Immodet was found poisoned, Ch'unkk resisted and was shot to death for his actions. (CE2)

This Quarren crimelord was the leader of a gang known as Vurrha's Blood, during the early years of the New Order. Born on Mon Calamari, Vurrha eventually left his lower-class home and traveled to Tatooine. There, he found work as an enforcer, and soon began to form his own organization. He hired Ereen Agar to be his primary enforcer, and taught her a great deal about his business and the virtues of ambition and patience. He also hired Sevv Sunb to be his chief financial officer, entrusing his combined wealth to the Sullustan's adept manipulations. Vurrha himself chose to be stubbornly neutral during the height of the Galactic Civil War, preferring to remain independent and free of any intanglements. He believed that the right application of power and violence could produce results that no other effort could, and never backed away from administering pain when he knew it would get what he wanted. (UA, WOTC)

Chura, Leb
This Twi'lek worked as a pilot, during the era of the Clone Wars. He was based on the moon Bogg 5 during this time, and was contracted by Ko Sai to carry her equipment to Dorumaa, during her escape from Kamino. Leb Chura was later apprehended by the clone commando Mereel, who was searching for Ko Sai, and forced to reveal the details of his contract with the Kaminoan. From Leb's information, the clone commandos learned of Ko Sai's plans to establish a base beneath the surface of the ocean, near the Tropix Island Resort, on Dorumaa. The clones let Leb go free, but the clones of Delta Squad managed to catch up with him again on Bogg 5. They threatened to arrest him for transporting cloning equipment from Arkania without a proper license, then demanded that he tell them where the equipment had been delivered. Leb was confused, since he had already given the information to Mereel. He reiterated that he had made the delivery to Dorumaa, giving the Deltas a chance to catch up with Kal Skirata in the search for Ko Sai. (RCTC)

Churabba
This ancient Hutt had a cunning business mind, and was in control of the Si'Klaata Cluster some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. She was there when the Cult of M'dweshuu once again rose to power on Kintan. It was believed that she admired the Cult for its ability to galvanize the Nikto race, even as she sought to destroy it to gain control of the Nikto race. She ordered that the Cult's main headquarters be bombarded, killing off many of the Cult's leaders and leaving the Nikto people without a strong leadership. The Nikto then signed their support over to her, and eventually agreed to the Treaty of Vontor. (GG12, NEGA)

Churba
The fourth and primary planet in the Churba system, Churba was known for its leading-edge technology and its cosmopolitan atmosphere. It was located in the Mid Rim Territories. (DFRSB, SWJ6)

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

Church of the Dark Side
This was the name used by Sate Pestage to describe the quasi-religion which sprang up around the Prophets of the Dark Side, during the years which followed the Battle of Endor. The Prophets of the Dark Side chose to ignore the Church, which it considered nothing more than a mockery of their order. (SWI66, WOTC)

Church of the First Frequency
This religious sect was formed on Otranto. They were ousted from the planet by the Imperial Grand Inquisitor Torbin, but its surviving members rallied around their beliefs. They attacked Torbin's palace, and he was only saved by the timely intervention of the Tynnan Odumin. However, Torbin was killed a month later on Weerden. (CSA)

Church of Toydaria
This religious institution was formed on Coruscant during the last years of the Old Republic. Members of the church tried to appeal to prospective members by admitting that there were not absolutes in life, and the religion was founded on the pursuit of answers to life's most difficult questions. (HNN5)

Churee
When translated into Basic, this Ewok word meant "mountain." (GPB)

Churhee, Maydla
This woman was the widow of Vlaydm Churhee, and took command of Churhee's Riflemen in the wake of Vlaydm's death on Y'Trella, where Imperial forces refused to provide back-up during a combined mission. She ensured that the Riflemen took only contracts against Imperial forces, and took the minimal payment for their services. She allied the Riflemen with the Alliance until such time as Emperor Palpatine was killed, earning her a position on Moff Tallis' "most wanted" list. The unit fought valiantly on Turcan III, defeating the naval forces that were dispatched by Moff Tallis, and decided to establish a new base of operations on the planet. Although Churhee's Riflemen commanded a huge fee for their actions, Maydla chose to accept payment only when their contract was fulfilled. Thus, when Palpatine died at the Battle of Endor, she considered her contract with the Alliance to have been fulfilled, and returned to operations in the Parmel Sector of the galaxy. She remained loyal to the New Republic, and often took contracts on Imperial targets. Many military leaders within the New Republic credit her with expelling the Imperial forces on Parmel Sector within a few short years. (SWJ15, OWS)

Churhee, Vlaydm
This founder of Churhee's Riflemen took a number of Imperial contracts working as mercenaries and soldiers-for-hire. He was well-paid for the group's contributions during the early years of the New Order, but died in the Y'Trella System, after Imperial forces failed to provide the Riflemen with adequate backup. He was survived by his wife, Maydla, who kept the Churhee's Riflemen together, although she allied the group with the Alliance to Restore the Republic. (GG9, SWJ15, OWS)

Churhee's Riflemen
This Outer Rim mercenary unit specialized in low-profile operations on the fringes of Imperial space. Formed by Vladym Churhee, the Churhee's Rifelmen operated primarily in Sarin and Parmel Sectors, and were often contracted by the Empire to serve as flanking units, attacking an enemy's outer defenses and allowing Imperial forces to confront the enemy's front lines. The Churhee's Riflemen were virtually wiped out in the Y'Trella System, after Imperial forces failed to provide adequate backup. Vladym Churhee was killed in the fighting, and many of the surviving members, including Rathe Palror, chose to ally themselves with pro-Alliance factions under the command of Vlaydm Churhee's widow, Maydla. Maydla kept the Churhee's Riflemen active, agreeing to support the Alliance until the death of Emperor Palpatine. The Riflemen were a well-recognized unit until they saw heavy action during a battle on Turcan III, after which their actions became the stuff of legend. Moff Tallis dispatched an entire naval fleet to Turcan III to wipe them out, but the group only lost about half its numerical strength while defeating the Imperial forces. After the Battle of Endor, Maydla Churhee continued to contract out the Riflemen to the New Republic, helping the new government expel the Imperial forces in Parmel Sector. They earned a tremendous fee for their operations, but many within the New Republic military believed that they were credits well-spent. (GG9, SWJ12, SWJ15, OWS)

Churi Bird
This was a species of large avian native to the forest moon of Endor. Churi birds were among the many avians that were hunted by the Ewoks as a source of food. The feathers of the churi bird were often used as decoration, especially among the warriors, who displayed the feathers in their headgear. (CCG10, CVD)

Churl
This being, a member of the crew of the Jynni's Virtue, was killed on the planet Korriban by unknown forces, after the ship was forced to crash-land on the planet, near the Valley of Golg. Churl was eventually killed by the Korriban Zombies, and his dead body was reanimated to join the zombies. (PH)

Churruma
This planet was the homeworld of a primitive race of beings that were subjugated by Imperial forces during the height of the New Order. (GORW)

Churt Fort
This abandoned military fort was located along the Hadde-Rishun Road, on the planet Haurgab. During the height of the Clone Wars, Omega Squad was pinned down at the Churt Fort by a group of Maujasi rebels, after Omeage was successful in assassinating Jolluc. (RC66)

Chusker, Vu
A small humanoid who often traveled in red cloaks and a thick hat, Vu Chusker was a former associate of Cabrool Nuum. They had a falling-out and became bitter enemies. Cabrool Nuum feared that Chusker would take over his empire, and he asked Jabba the Hutt to kill him. Jabba refused, and was thrown in jail. Cabrool's son, Rusk, freed Jabba to kill Cabrool, then demanded that the Hutt kill Chusker or be imprisoned forever. Jabba refused, and with the help of Rusk's sister, Norba, escaped and killed Rusk. Norba imprisoned Jabba as well, and demanded that he kill Chusker. Jabba promptly ate Norba, and escaped for good. Once outside the Nuum compound, Jabba encountered Vu Chusker himself. Frustrated with the day's proceedings, Jabba killed Chusker with a flick of his tail. (JTH)

Chuun M'arh Frigate
This was the fastest of the Yuuzhan Vong warships, serving as reconnaissance vessels as well as supporting roles in battle. Measuring an average of 440 meters in length, the Chuun M'arh was crewed by 225 dedicated Yuuzhan Vong warriors, and could accommodate up to 370 troops and 980 metric tons of cargo or ordnance. These ships were armed with thirty plasma weapons and a host of dovin basals, but they were not equipped with interdiction bio-technology. (NJOSB)

Chuundar
This black-furred Wookiee was the leader of the city of Rwookrrorro, on his homeworld of Kashyyyk, during the height of the Great Sith War. He was somewhat unusual in that he working to gain power by whatever means he could, rather than employing more traditional Wookiee ways. He also had little regard for honor, and used fear and threats to remain unchallenged in his leadership position. Many of his contemporaries, as well as future Wookiee historians, blamed his disregard for traditional values for Czerka Corporation's ability to establish bases on Kashyyyk. This, in turn, led to the first widespread use of Wookiees as slave labor. In truth, it was Chuundar who sold the Wookiee people into slaver, in exchange for a high-ranking position with Czerka's organization on the planet. When his brother, Zaalbar, learned of his treachery, Chuundar found himself being challenged. He refused to back down, and even betrayed their father, Freyyr, by calling him a senile old fool and turning his people against him. Zaalbar became angry and lashed out at Chuundar with his climbing claws, and action that was forbidden among the Wookiees in combat. Zaalbar was branded a "madclaw" and exiled from Kashyyyk, cementing Chuundar's position of power on Kashyyyk. He remained above his fellow Wookiees for many years, until Zaalbar returned from the Great Sith War and confronted his brother once again. This time, though, Zaalbar managed to defeat Chuundar and remove him from power. (KOTOR, SWDB)

Chu'unthor
This ancient Republic Fleet Systems cruiser was huge, at nearly two kilometers in length and forty meters in height, and was constructed in orbit around the planet Abhean more than 400 years before the onset of the Clone Wars. The Chu'unthor, named for the Cerean word meaning "academy", was the brainchild of Fin-So-Rowan, Ivixa Delbaeth, and a number of other forward-thinking Jedi Masters. It was designed to serve as a sort of mobile space station used by the ancient Jedi Knights, and was the primary ship in the Exploration Corps of the ancient Jedi. It provided ample space for 10,000 Jedi, along with hundreds of exercise rooms, training areas and medical facilities. The ship was shaped like an arrow, with ots training facilities located in the wings. Medical facilities were locate in the main fuselage, just behind the command center, while classrooms were located at the front of the ship. The Chu'unthor was basically unarmed, having just eight tractor beam projectors in its "arsenal". The ship's cargo capacity was rated as 40,000 metric tons, and it was propeled through space by a huge array of hyperdrive engines. It could be dispatched to anywhere in the galaxy to help resolve conflicts, and it was hoped that the success of the Chu'unthor would keep the Jedi Order from stagnating by visiting new worlds with new ideas. Many of its corridors and training centers had clear, transparisteel covers that allowed the Jedi to have a full view of the galaxy. The Chu'unthor served faithfully for many decades, but plans for additional ships never came to fruition. Just after passing 100 years of service, the Chu'unthor was dispatched to the planet Dathomir, where the Jedi were in battle with the Force-wielding Nightsisters. During the fighting, the ship took heavy damage, and was forced to crash-land in the swamps. After a truce was formed between the two sides, the Chu'unthor - which held a good deal of Jedi lore and teachings - was abandoned by the Jedi, who left the planet. One of the creators of the truce, the Jedi Master Yoda, asked that the ship be left alone until a young Jedi came to free the planet from the Nightsisters. Three hundred years later, Luke Skywalker fulfilled this prophecy. (CPL, EGV, WOTC, PJSB, GORW)

Chyler, Tian
This woman served the Imperial Security Bureau on Cloud City, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. She was promised a position within the ISB when the Empire took control of the mining outpost, but never realized it.

A graduate of her local SAGroup, Chyler proved to be as ruthless as she was doggedly determined to succeed. Upon graduation, she was chosen to infiltrate Coruscant's police force and identify those traitors who were working for the Alliance. Her ability to identify the enemy and bring them to justice earned her the posting at Bespin, where she was supposed to seek out unregistered shipments of Tibanna gas. Posing as a Corellian official based on Ando, she befriended the Aqualish and discovered a huge network illegal activities.

Although her information later gave Darth Vader a reason to blackmail Lando Calrissian into placing a garrison on Cloud City, the Aqualish decided to revolt against the Imperial persecution they endured. Although the Aqualish miners were eventually executed, Chyler was held responsible for not reporting on their rebellious activities, and was never again considered for promotion. In her anger, she later turned over information on the Empire's garrison on Cloud City to the freedom fighters who reclaimed the mining outpost, sometime after the Battle of Endor. After defecting from Imperial service, she found an unlikely ally in Willrow Hood, and the two were able to use their skills and knowledge to help the rebels. (CCG9, SWDB)

Chywarra
This young Wookiee male and his mother, Risstenni, lived in the village of Kiirloor, on Cularin, during the final years of the Old Republic. Mother and son were captured by the evil Tarasin known as Xinishia, shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars, when Xinishia began her bid for power over the Wyrd. Xinishia found Chywarra playing alone in the jungle, and took him capture in order to "feed" the young Wookiee to a strange, Dark Side artifact, in an effort to gain more power. Risstenni was captured shortly afterward, when she tried to rescue Chywarra from the artifact. Before a rescue mission could be launched, Risstenni was sacrificed in his place, and Chywarra was held for later "feeding" of the artifact. A group of freelance agents agreed to locate Chywarra and his mother, but they were not match for the powers of Xinishia and her Tarasin companions. Xinishia offered to let Chywarra go, if the agents agreed to return to the Wookiees and force them to relocate the Kiirloor settlement. The deal was struck, and Chywarra was freed from captivity. However, during the following days, it was discovered that Chywarra had a latent sensitivity to the Force. He was allowed to travel to the Almas Academy, where he was tested for training as a Jedi Knight. He was happy to discover that his mother's spirit accompanied him to Almas. (FTT)

Cidwen
This semi-sentient race was used by Emperor Palpatine to allow stormtroopers to perform highly-secret tasks. Palpatine had the cidwen drugged until they began hallucinating, then made their greatest fears permanent with the Dark Side of the Force. The Cidwen, much like Aga and Avogui, were then used as guards. They viciously attacked anything or anybody that came near them. (COJ)

Cidwen
This species of flying, insectile predators was native to the planet Atraken. Only a dozen or so existed during the era of the New Order, since many Cidwen were killed during the Clone Wars.

Cilarnus, Karoll "The Mad"
This ancient Tapani Sector noble was one of the first to place an order for the Orphanmaker assault ship, during the era of the Great Sith War. Baron Cilarnus ordered his ships to have special weapons additions, essentially doubling the original armament of the Orphanmaker. The designers at the Pelagia Duplex Command nicknamed this ship the Overkill, and only produced one prototype before Baron Cilarnus lost all his credits and his business was forced into receivership. The prototype was eventually purchased by the Moomo Brothers, who refitted it and named it the Moomo Williwaw. (KORH)

Cilghal
Meaning "inspiration", this was a common female name among the Mon Calamari race. (GCG)

Cilghal
This female Mon Calamari served as her homeworld's Ambassador to the New Republic, during the years following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. After the destruction of the Cathedral of Winds on Vortex, it was Cilghal who helped Leia Organa Solo locate Admiral Ackbar, in an effort to bring the Admiral back into the service of the Republic. When Admiral Daala launched her attack on Calamari, Leia discovered that Cilghal was able to "see" certain events before they occurred, which helped the Mon Calamari plan their defenses. Leia recognized this as a sensitivity to The Force, and suggested that Cilghal join Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. Among her many talents, Cilghal had a knack for helping beings recover from illnesses. Her skills were put to the test, however, when she was called upon to try and save the life of Mon Mothma. Unsure what to do to counteract the effects of the nano-destroyers in Mon Mothma's body, Cilghal simply let the Force flow through her. She discovered that she could locate and remove individual nano-destroyers with the help of the Force, and after many hours of intense concentration, she finally declared Mon Mothma to be free of the disease. In the wake of Mon Mothma's recovery, Cilghal chose to became a Jedi healer.

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

Several years later, Cilghal was instrumental in helping Master Skywalker and the rest of the new Jedi order understand the mentality of the Colony, and her theories were invaluable in determining the correct course of action to take against Raynar Thul and Lomi Plo. Cilghal was also involved in the production of a speciallized headgear that was used to cut off an individual from contact with the Colony, which later helped Raynar Thul and other Joiners return to a normal life outside the Colony. During the final conflict of the Swarm War, Cilghal worked with Tekli to serve as advisors to Supreme Commander Gilad Pellaeon, who traveled to Sarm as military backup to Master Skywalker's strike force. Master Skywalker's mission was to eliminate Lomi Plo and sever UnuThul's contact with the Colony, and Cilghal's role was to warn Pellaeon in case Luke's mission failed. Perhaps her greatest challenge came during the years following the Second Galactic Civil War, when Seff Hellin and Valin Solo both experienced strange periods where they seemed to tap into aspects of the Force that only Jacen Solo had mastered. All physiological tests showed that Valin was more or less normal, although there were times when his brain scans showed no activity at all. This effectively cut him off from the Force, and the Jedi were unable to investigate his mind throught the Force.

It was Cilghal who recalled the memoirs of Jedi Master Plo Koon, who spoke of a technique used by the Kel Dor to resist the personal intrusion of an electrencephaloscan. The technique involved shutting the brain, and appeared very similar to what Valin Horn was doing. Cilghal relayed this information to Grand Master Luke Skywalker, just prior to the start of his ten-year exile, in the hopes that he could visit the Baran Do Sages on Dorin and learn more about the technique. She also pledged to continue to feed him information about Valin's condition, claiming that her communications would not involve the activities of the Jedi Order, but simply information about Valin's health. However, Valin was taken into custody by the Galactic Alliance Security force, and Cilghal was unable to continue her investigation. This changed suddenly when she found that Seff Hellin had been captured by Jaina Solo and a small team of agents. Although she disapproved of Jaina's methods, Cilghal was glad to have Hellin for her continued investigations. Several weeks later, Cilghal was surprised to find Jysella Horn in the Jedi Temple, especially when the young girl began exhibiting all the same symptoms that Valin Horn had shown. However, she was unprepared for Jysella's sudden reaction to her appearance, and the girl used the Force to shove Cilghal out of her way as she fled the Temple.

Cilghal relayed news of Jysella's escape and eventual capture to Luke, explaining that she believed Jysella had used a form of flow-walking to facilitate her escape. Cilghal then plunged into her own investigation of the apparent Force psychosis that the young Jedi were exhibiting. Her initial thought was that they had somehow been affected by Jacen Solo, because each had shown an ability that only Jacen had learned. However, it was later learned that all of the affected Jedi had been housed at Shelter base, in the Maw, during the Yuuzhan Vong War. (DA, COTF, TEP, BP, EVR, DN3, FJ1, FJ2)

Cilgris, Naul
This Duros trader was the nephew of Thes Cilgris, and inherited the Birthright from Thes' son, Yett. Like his relatives, Naul used the ship for business, but was also supportive of the New Republic's efforts to eliminate the Yuuzhan Vong threat. Naul made many supply runs for the Republic, helping to maintain a level of stability despite the horrors of the alien invasion. (SOG)

Cilgris, Yett
This Duros trader was the son of Thes Cilgris, and inherited his father's business as well as this starship, the Birthright. Like his father before him, Yett was ostensibly a businessbeing, but he also supported the Alliance. Yett made many runs in the Birthright, helping supply Alliance forces during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SOG)

This planet was one of many that remained under Imperial control following the Battle of Endor. It was later liberated with the help of Wedge Antilles and the Rogue Squadron. Cilpar was covered with dense jungles which hide a series of ancient ruins and temples. (XWRS)

Cimarosa
This planet was one of many that were overrun by the Galactic Empire and forced to accept Imperial rule.

Cin
This Mandalorian word translated into Basic as "white." (OWS)

Cin vhetin
This Mandalorian phrase combined the words for "white" and "field" to describe the ultimate test of tolerance for a Mandalorian: to give another being a clean slate and allow them to put their past behind them while becoming part of the Mandalorian society. The phrase literally referred to a field of newly-fallen snow, but meant something along the lines of "we begin again". (RC66)

Cin'ciri
This Mandalorian word translated into Basic as "snow." (OWS)

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

Cinnabar Moon
This was one of the moons which circled the planet Coruscant. Note that the official Wizards of the Coast website (http://www.wizards.com) indicates that the Cinnabar Moon was located in the Craeen System. The Cinnabar Moon was known for its unusual mercury pools, which provided spectacular vistas for visitors. (REC, WOTC)

Cinnabar Moon Retreat
This abandoned resort and spa was taken over by the Wild Knights, who used the facilities as their base of operation before joing the Jedi Knights, shortly before the Second Battle of Coruscant. It was located in the Craeen System, and was known for its wondrous mercury pools. A collection of modified Storm IV cloud cars provided transport on the moon, keeping visitors and trainees from having to touch the surface. (REC, WOTC)

Cinnagar
The largest city on all the worlds in the Empress Teta system, Cinnagar was originally founded on the planet Koros Major. After the Great Sith War, the city and the planet experienced a rennaissance, and urban expansion occurred at an astonishing rate. Beautiful buildings and stunning architecture soon covered much of the planet, making Cinnagar one of the largest cities in the galaxy. Because the city was so large, covering more than half of the planet's surface, many beings in the Deep Core simply referred to the entire planet as Cinnagar. (DE1, NEGC, PH)

Cinnagar
This was another name used to describe the planet Empress Teta. The name came from the fact that, following the Great Sith War, the capital city of Cinnagar expanded so fast that it eventually covered much of the planet. Many residents of the Deep Core simply referred to the planet by the name of its sprawling capital. (GAS, FOSE, PH)

Cipiter
This tall, pale-skinned Chev was ostensibly in charge of the Metellos Exchange, some 3,963 years before the Battle of Yavin. He welcomed Professor Gryphomarn to the Exchange, and was escorting him through the auction house when Captain Brackel of the Hot Prospect arrived at Metellos 3. With her, she brought a native of the planet Italbos, the rights to which had been sold at auction several months earlier. When she demanded that the natives of Italbos be given a chance to bid for their homeworld, Professor Gryphomarn agreed to serve as their legal counsel, in case the matter needed to be decided in the courts. Cipiter knew that this series of events would be bad for the reputation of the Exchange, and closed down the auction house in order to determine what to do next. This involved an emergency meeting with his true master, Nunk Plaarvin, the Chevin crimelord who controlled the Metellos Exchange. Plaarvin became angry with Cipiter, because the idea of using the Metellos Exchange to acquire credits had originally been put forward by Cipiter himself. He thought that it would a good way to get short-term income, but neither he nor Plaarvin had anticipated the popularity of the Exchange. As the credits continued to roll in, the Raff Syndicate demanded more and more profit, forcing Plaarvin and Cipiter to do everything in their power to make the Exchange lucrative. This involved auctioning off more exotic and potentially valuable properties, as well as fabricating claims in order to boost the prices of their auctions. When customers returned from scouting these locations and demanded refunds for their bids, Plaarvin and Cipiter were forced to eliminate them, in order to keep the Raff Syndicate happy. Shortly after the capture of Jarael and Rohlan Dyre, Plaarvin and Cipiter were met by a Trandoshan representative of the Raff Syndicate, who explained that Marn Hierogryph's earlier actions were part of an elaborate scheme to expose Plaarvin's skimming of credits from the syndicate. Plaarvin was forced to accept an order to accompany the Trandoshan to syndicate headquarters, and he left Cipiter in charge of the Metellos Exchange. Unknown to Cipiter, the Trandoshan was actually Slyssk, who was working with Hierogryph. The disappearance of Nunk Plaarvin meant that Cipiter and the Chevs were left in complete control of the Metellos Exchange. (KOR11)

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

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

Circle of Rest
This courtyard was constructed by the Killiks who were relocated to the planet Woteba. It was located near the Garden Hall, and provided a place where individuals could walk around and take in the natural beauty of the nearby marshlands. The Circle itself was framed by four egg-shaped stones, arranged in a semi-circle the opened onto a pathway leading to the Garden Hall. Each of the monoliths had a small fountain at the top that allowed water to cascade over the sides, making the entire Circle of rest into a walk-in fountain. Each stone was carved with the image of child-like Joiner or a Killik larvae, giving the entire Circle of Rest an oddly eerie but comforting feeling. (DN2)

Circle of Shelter
This was a lightsaber combat technique in which a Jedi Knight used their lightsaber to protect themselves and those comrades in the immediate area.

Circles
Each of the primary social castes of the Nagai race was placed into a Circle, with membership being determined by birth. Within each Circle were several Sub-circles, and individuals could move upward through the Sub-circles during ritualized combat.

In the aftermath of the Tof invasion, many Nagai lobbied to remove the system of Circles all together. (GMR1)

Circuit Cider
This unique beverage originated at Doodnik's Café, on Tyne's Horky, several years before the onset of the Clone Wars. Doodnik took pressed cider and filtered it through a collection of spare droid parts before serving it to his patrons. Dexter Jettster later revised this technique at Dex's Diner, using parts from an old dishwasher to filter the cider.

One of Kaiya Adrimetrum's contemporaries in the Alliance, Ciro was the Captain of the FarStar during its early mission into the Kathol Sector. A native of the planet Dolomar, Ciro believed Kaiya was too aggressive. However, after Ciro was captured and reporting missing in action, it was Adrimetrum who was promoted to fill his command. Ciro was taken by Moff Sarne to the Q'Maere Research Facility, where he was severely tortured and interrogated over several weeks. It was then that the crew of the FarStar came to Q'Maere looking to restock its food stores. Kelemon was rescued, but was confined to sickbay until his injuries could heal.

Cirrifog
This was the name given to the thick, pearlescent microcrystals found in the atmosphere of Monor II. Billions of these microcrystals can be found in a single cubic meter of air, and breathing them was hazardous to most races because it shreds the delicate tissues of the lungs. The native Sunesi have evolved the ability to breathe it, and it plays a large part in the change from young Sunesi to adulthood. Juveniles of the species cannot survive long without it in their atmosphere, and require it in order to create the protective coccoons used during their metamorphosize into adults. The cirrifog was found to be useful in certain applications during the early days of the New Order, shortly after Eujustus Kline discovered it. The Empire began mining the microcrystals, and extracted so much of them that the juvenile Sunesi were threatened. Agapos the Ninth spoke out against the Empire, and was condemned to death. (SWJ10)

Citadel, The
This was the name given to the immense structure which served as the seat of power of the Yuuzhan Vong' Supreme Overlord, Shimrra, after the alien invaders captured and reformed the planet Coruscant. The Citadel was, in actuality, an immense worldship which had been constructed in such a way as to land in a specialized receiver that connected it to the planet's surface. Since the Citadel was mobile, Shimrra could move across the planet's surface without ever having to leave its confines. The Citadel's primary location was situated in the Well of the World Brain, on what used to be the most populous sectors of Coruscant. When on the ground, the Citadel rose from a yorik coral base and was virtually impregnable. However, should the need for escape arise, the entire bulk of The Citadel could disengage itself from the Well of the World brain and flee into space. (UF)

Citadel-class Cruiser
This was a form of civilian transport craft which was popular during the last years of the Old Republic. The most noted version was the ILH-KK Cruiser developed by Koensayr. Despite the obvious difference in size, the Citadel-class cruiser had many design similarities to the Y-Wing snubfighter, especially in the shape of its cockpit. The main fuselage supported a pair of vertical wings that were attached at the rear, as well as dorsal and ventral wings that provided stability.

The popularity of the Citadel-class cruiser was based on the notion that interstellar travel during the increasing tensions that led to the Clone Wars was dangerous at best. It was considered one of the best-built ships of its generation, and there were many reports of Citadel-class cruisers being all but destroyed in a firefight and then rebuilt to a near-original condition in little or no time. In order to protect its passengers and cargo, the three-person crew of this vessel could use a pair of laser cannons, a pair of ion cannons, or a concussion missile launcher against enemy ships. A pair of ventral docking clamps allowed the crew to carry a pair of starfighters in reserve, for use as escorts or defenders.

In the wake of the Clone Wars, sales of the Citadel-class cruiser dropped off, but these ships continued to be used throughout the galaxy. Many were refitted by pirates for use in carrying fighters into an ambush, while others were employed by planetary navies as long-range support ships. (WOTC, TCG8, SSOG)

Citizens' Resistance
This was the name given to the underground resistance movement that grew on the planet Romin, during the reign of dictator Roy Teda, several years before the Battle of Geonosis. Led by Joylin, the Citizens' Resistance grew swiftly, until it was able to gain the help of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Siri Tachi, and their apprentices, Anakin Skywalker and Ferus Olin. The Jedi were on Romin in the guise of the Slams, and helped steal security and access codes from Teda's palace to help the resistance eliminate the security droids and launch their revolution. Although it was supposed to be a bloodless coup, the years of being forced to live in squalor led the rebels to launch an all-out attack on the wealthy natives of Eliior.

These minimal repulsors also required that the CK-6 be operated over flat, solid ground, because they provided little repuslion power when traversing gaps or gulleys. The clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic made extensive use of the CK-6 swoop during the Clone Wars. (SWDB)

CKO-171
This ancient protocol droid was assigned to Korren Starchaser's scouting team by the New Republic. CKO-171 was reactivated shortly after the Battle of Endor, and his programming and databanks were well out of date. Lacking the proper resources, the Republic simply turned CKO-171 on and sent him out into the field. This resulted in a huge gap in the droid's knowledge banks, which lacked information from the fifty years preceeding the Battle of Endor. Equipped with AutoTerrain treads, CKO-171 rolled about instead of walking, and showed open disdain for newer 3PO-series protocol droids. (SWJ6)

Ckratar Crafts
This minor starship manufacturer was noted for the production of the Venturer-class freighter. (AIR)

CL-14
This was the designation of an old-model Koensayr hyperdrive motivator unit. (EGV)

CL-3
This was Frei-Tek's version of the anti-starfighter cluster trap. (EGW)

CL-3
Produced by AccuTronics, this communication device allowed the owner of a droid to provide remote instructions to the droid. The user had a headset that contained a small display and a microphone, while the droid was installed with a tiny camera and a command module. (GFT)

CL-33/890
This was the designation of one of the many clone troopers dispatched to rescue Jedi masters Mace Windu and Depa Billaba from Haruun Kal, some six months after the Battle of Geonosis. He served as the second Lieutenant aboard the lander that delivered trooper CT-6/774 to the rescue mission. (SS2)

CL69
This was a model of Ubrikkian landspeeder. (FOP)

Claatuvac Guild
This long-standing brotherhood of Wookiee explorers and cartographers spent centuries surveying the galaxy and cataloguing hyperspace travel routes, during the Old Republic. The archives of the Claatuvac Guild were located in the tree-city of Vikkilynn. The information contained in the archives went back many millennia, and were believed to contain near-mythical spacelanes and long-lost routes that the Old Republic itself either didn't know about or had forgotten. Because of this knowledge, the Confederacy of Independent Systems wanted to subjugate the planet Kashyyyk during the Clone Wars, in an effort to obtain the information in the Claatuvac archives and use it to harass the Republic's fleet movements and gain control of the galaxy's trade and communications pathways. It was later learned that Chewbacca had spent several years as a Claatuvac cartographer, planning hyperspace routes throughout the galaxy. (X3, SWCL)

Claatuvac Guild Ceremonial Hall
This massive gathering place was located at the base of the tree-city known as Vikkilynn, on the planet Kashyyyk, and was the primary facility used by the Claatuvac Guild to hold meetings and conferences. (SWCL)

Clabburn
This legendary Mugaari space pirate and smuggler was described as one of the meanest criminals of his generation, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Sector Rangers who pursued him recognized that Clabburn would kill beings just to see them die. A hairy humanoid with oily green skin, Clabburn managed to ambush the Malachite Scent, the starship of a wealthy Shistavanen noble and looted its holds, an act of piracy that made him exceptionally rich. Rather than retiring, he hid out in the Hoth asteroid belt, continuing to lie in wait for ships to fly close enough to ambush. He was never found, because he kept hopping around the asteroid field, relocating his base and hiding until he could strike again. Clabburn was known to leave a space slug living in his abandoned bases, further eliminating any pursuit. He disappeared during the last years of the Old Republic, although many law enforcement officers knew it was only a matter of time before he reappeared. When he did, however, no one assumed it would be in a partnership with the Mon Calamari pirate Salmakk, nor was it anticipated that the pair would be under the employment of Figg Excavation. In many respects, this was correct, as the smuggler who joined forces with Salmakk was actually Clabburn the Younger, Clabburn's own son. Clabburn the Elder, as he became known, remained in hiding during the Galactic Civil War, apparently enjoying his fortune and watching his son grow more powerful. (ISU, WOA34)

Clabburn Range
This long range of mountains was located on the planet Hoth, just south of the Nev Ice Flow. The two main entrances to the Alliance's Echo Base were located on the north and south sides of the Clabburn Range. (IWST)

Clabburn the Elder
see Clabburn (WOA34)

Clabburn the Younger
This Mugaari pirate took over his father's operations during the height of the New Order, but went simply by the name Clabburn to cultivate a mystique based on his father's deeds. This suited Clabburn the Elder just fine, although he never emerged from hiding to actually say it. Clabburn the Younger was similar in appearance to his father, but his face and body had much more scarring that his father's, indicating that he had worked hard to earn his place as Clabburn the Elder's successor. In fact, Clabburn the Younger was missing the lower half of his left arm. In his position, Clabburn the Younger was hired by Figg Excavations to work with Salmakk during the height of the Galactic Civil War, in an effort make it appear as if FiggEx was suffering from piracy. If successful, the plan would allow FiggEx to break out of the Mining Guild and establish its own regulations. Salmakk and Clabburn were eventually apprehended and questioned about their activities, but were later released in exchange for information on their contacts within FiggEx. (WOA34)

Clacis Sector
This area of the galaxy was controlled by the Empire during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. (AIR)

Clade-bred
This was a term used by the Sullust race to indicate brothers of the same clan or family. (MBS)

Claer
This Core planet was the site of an exclusive prep school for the children of rich aristocrats. The school was run by COMPNOR, but it still had a cell of Alliance supporters. (CRO)

Claf 1
This Alliance escort shuttle was part of a group that was deployed to defend the captured space station D-34, during the weeks that followed the Battle of Hoth. Most of the Claf shuttles managed to escape an attack by Imperial forces, but station D-34 wsa eventually surrendered to the Empire. (TIE, TIEP)

Claf 2
This Alliance escort shuttle was part of a group that was deployed to defend the captured space station D-34, during the weeks that followed the Battle of Hoth. Most of the Claf shuttles managed to escape an attack by Imperial forces, but station D-34 wsa eventually surrendered to the Empire. (TIE, TIEP)

Claf 3
This Alliance escort shuttle was part of a group that was deployed to defend the captured space station D-34, during the weeks that followed the Battle of Hoth. Most of the Claf shuttles managed to escape an attack by Imperial forces, but station D-34 wsa eventually surrendered to the Empire. (TIE, TIEP)

Clafdatha, Mordaph
This man served as a Captain in the Imperial Navy, during the Galactic Civil War. He was ordered by Darth Vader to create a detailed report on the various Alliance starfighters' strengths and weaknesses. Along with Jord Krass, Clafdatha created document number V492771R225Y, entitled "Technical Specifications: Spacecraft of the Imperium and the Rebel Alliance". (XW, XWP)

Claim Beacon
This form of satellite was used by scouts and explorers to mark the location of worlds they discover. It broadcasts a message of ownership to anyone who comes into the system, thereby marking it as claimed. Many unscrupulous scouts will search out these beacons and disable them, replacing another scout's beacon with their own. Many paranoid scouts will place a thermal detonator inside their beacons, which will be triggered if another scout tries to deactivate it. (GG8)

Claine
This man was Callista Ming's uncle, who lived on Chad III during the last years of the Old Republic. (COJ)

Claing Bush
This thorny bush was found on the moon of Nierport Seven. It produced a type of berry that was often pressed to make claing juice. The thorns of the claing bush were a deep red in color, and grew tall from the trunk. (JQ5)

Claing Juice
This strong, red, alcoholic beverage was fermented on Nierport Seven, from the small berries of the thorny claing bush that grew on the moon's cold surface. (JQ4, JQ5)

Clak Beepbox
A musical instrument developed on Clak'Dor VII by the Bith, and often found in jizz bands. (TCC)

Clak'Dor I
This planet was once the innermost world in the Colu System. However, some 8,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, the star Colu expanded briefly. Clak'Dor I was then consumed by the star. (GORW)

Clak'Dor II
This planet became the innermost world of the Colu System, after the star Colu consumed Clak'Dor I when it expanded, some 8,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Clak'Dor II then became a small world, whose surface was covered with molten rock. (GORW)

Clak'Dor III
This planet became the second world of the Colu System, after the star Colu consumed Clak'Dor I when it expanded, some 8,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Clak'Dor III then became little more than a searing ball of rock. (GORW)

Clak'Dor IV
This planet, located in the Colu System of the Mayagil Sector, was populated by a group of Bith who fled their homeworld of Clak'Dor VII in the wake of the war between Nozho and Weogar. Because Clak'Dor I had been destroyed when the star Colu expanded some 8,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, Clak'Dor IV was actually the third planet in the Colu System. It was orbited by a pair of moons. The Bith who settled on Clak'Dor IV suffered from genetic mutations as a result of the war, and became known as the Y'bith. (XWRR, GORW, SWDB)

Clak'Dor V
This planet became the fourth world of the Colu System, after the star Colu consumed Clak'Dor I when it expanded, some 8,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Clak'Dor V was a gas giant which was orbited by twelve moons. (GORW)

Clak'Dor VI
This planet was once the sixth world in the Colu System. However, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War, the planet was torn asunder in an undocumented event. The rubble of the planet remained locked in orbit around Colu, eventually forming an asteroid belt between Clak'Dor V and Clak'Dor VII. (GORW)

Clak'Dor VII
This planet was the original homeworld of the Bith race, and was once a beautiful world. The Bith, however, nearly destroyed the planet in a chemical war, some 300 years before the Battle of Yavin. It was once the seventh planet in the Colu System, in the Mayagil sector, but the destruction of Clak'Dor I and Clak'Dor VI eventually made it the fifth planet. During the build-up to the Clone Wars, the Bith were forced to join the Separatists simply because of the trade concessions they offered the government of Clak'Dor VII to join. (SCRE, GG4, LEV, GORW, SWDB)

Clak'Dor VIII
This was the joking nickname used by the Bith who lived on Clak'Dor VII to describe Mezhra Station. (GORW)

Clamont, Jakke
This well-known big-game hunter worked as a ranger in an Imperial preserve for many years, but left when he realized that he'd rather kill the animals than protect them. He found employment among the wealthiest Imperials and crimelords who wanted an unusual creature for their private zoos. Instead of hunting animals, which was relatively easy, Jakke captured them alive and returned them to his employer. He would not, however, hunt sentient beings. (HR)

Clan Council
This was the primary Hutt government, during the early years of the New Order. (SWJ7)

Clan Rostu
This was another name for the Rostu ghosh. (CN1)

Clan Tarnese
This Sakiyan clan was ruined when its patriarch, Tarnese Lyanne, lost everything the clan owned after being double-crossed by Shiltu the Hutt, many years before the Battle of Geonosis. The children of the clan were forced to look for work off-planet, since they were avoided by other Sakiyans. (MBS)

Clan Territory
This was the term used to describe the planets and star systems that were controlled by the ancient Mandalorians, in the wake of the Great Sith War. Derived from the term for the holdings of an individual clan, the clan territory indicated that the Mandalorians controlled the systems within its boundaries. In the decades following the Great Sith War, the clan territory of the Mandalorians expanded to the point that it was larger than Hutt Space, and the Old Republic was nearly powerless to stop its expansion. Only the intervention of the Jedi Knights, led by Revan and Malak, put a halt to the Mandalorians and their greedy expansion. (NECH)

Clancy, Kal
This man was Taryn Clancy's father, a free-trader by nature who spent much of his career away from home. When Taryn was sixteen, he finally allowed her to accompany him aboard his starship, the Lassen. She became a capable pilot, and served as Kal' co-pilot on many runs. Unfortunately, Kal's method of showing his pride in Taryn's performance manifested itself in scathing criticism of her mistakes. Although saddened by her choice to join the Core Courier Service, Kal was never prouder than when his daughter achieved her position as pilot of the Messenger. (SWJ7)

Clancy, Taryn
This young woman worked for the Core Courier Service, during the early years of the New Republic. Just twenty-six at the time, Taryn was the daughter of Kal Clancy, and learned everything she could about flying a starship from him aboard the Lassen. His stories of daring missions and brave maneuvers filled their conversations, and it was no surprise when Taryn decided to become a pilot herself. However, Kal's love for his daughter often manifested itself as criticism, and Taryn finally had to split with her father and go her separate way. She found a job with the Core Courier Service, and was promoted to Captain in just a few years. She was given command of the courier vessel Messenger, working the Del Sato to deliver communications throughout the Core Worlds.

Shortly after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, Taryn and Del were making a delivery on Coruscant, but were stranded on the planet during one of the Empire's first attempts to retake the planet. Although she was in command of the Messenger, the run to Coruscant was only her fourth as commander on the Messenger, and she struggled to figure out a way to get away from the planet without causing damage to the ship. When she went to find someone in charge, Taryn suddenly found herself in the presence of Garm Bel Iblis and Jak Bremen. The New Republic military men were planning a general retreat from Coruscant, in an effort to save the planet from further destruction that would come from standing up to the Imperials. Bel Iblis and Bremen invoked the military's right to divert civilian vessels in times of crisis, and conscripted Taryn to take the Messenger to locate the cruiser Hope with information vital to the New Republic.

Taryn admitted to herself that the idea of using civilian and corporate couriers to get the information to the fleet was a good one, even after she realized that she had no choice in the matter. When the Messenger was dragged out of hyperspace by the Interdictor cruiser Requital, Taryn forced Bremen to assume the role of a passenger, and did her best to convince Commander Voldt that they were a simple courier vessel. Voldt had hoped to intercept a ship containing New Republic agents, and was disappointed to learn that Taryn and Del were little more than delivery beings. He eventually let them go, but not before searching the cargo holds. They arrived at the rendezvous point, but learned from Mara Jade that the Republic fleet was still three days away.

Bremen wanted to remain, but an Imperial cruiser happened upon their location and forced them to flee once again. After surviving the sudden jump to hyperspace, they eventually found the fleet and delivered their information. However, they also discovered that Voldt had left a homing beacon in the hold, and were forced once again to flee before Imperial warships arrived. Bremen offered them a chance to join the Republic, but they declined. Taryn wanted time to think about the offer, as well as to complete her deliveries and return to Core Courier Services. (TFE, SWJ7, OWS)

Clandes
This industrial city was located on the planet Ord Cestus, some 300 kilometers south of ChikatLik and seventy-five kilometers southeast of the Dashta Mountains. The city itself was built into the crust of the planet by the X'Ting, who burrowed well below the surface to reach an aquifer that could supply them with fresh water. During the decades leading up to the Clone Wars, Clandes was converted to serve as the location of a major communications junction between the largest cities of the planet. The power and connections required to service cities such as ChikatLik - not to mention the secret bunker maintained by the Five Families - meant that Clandes was exposed to intense levels of radiation. This rendered the city uninhabitable, a situation that provided the Five Families with a surprising bonus. Because the city was uninhabited, they did not have to employ the normal safety systems required in a high-radiation area. In this way, the Families maintained their communications and power grids without spending credits on additional shielding. Much of the original cityscape was leveled to make room for the manufacturing facilities of Clandes Industrial. (TCD)

Clandes Industrial
This was the name given to the immense, city-wide collection of manufacturing facilities that covered the city of Clandes, on the planet Ord Cestus, during the height of the Clone Wars. In addition to the various surface buildings, Clandes Industrial burrowed some twenty-four levels below the surface, with employee facilities buried well beneath the lethal radiation that bombarded the upper levels. These underground levels were carved from an abandoned X'Ting hive, from which the native X'Ting were evacuated or evicted. During the Clone Wars, Clandes Industrial was the primary manufacturing site of the JK-series of security droids. After the Desert Wind terrorist gang was routed from their base by a group of infiltration droids dispatched by Asajj Ventress, they set out to destroy the Clandes Industrial facility, thereby bringing the manufacturing facilities of the Five Families to a crippling halt with a minimum of bloodshed. In the wake of the attack on Clandes Industrial, the major cities found themselves suddenly without power and water, and many inhabitants were forced to horde whatever they could to survive. This placed a great deal of stress on the Five Families, since they had to maintain public safety without jeopardizing their own positions. (TCD)

Clandestine Operative Act
This law was enacted during the early stages of the Clone Wars. It was enacted to allow the Jedi Knights and certain branches of the Grand Army of the Republic to bypass galactic and planetary regulations in order to maintain the secrecy and security of their mission. Among the many actions that were condoned under this act was the ability of a Jedi Knight to file a falsified flight plan, in order to gain takeoff authority without divulging their ultimate destination. Although it was often applied to Senatorial missions, the Clandestine Operative Act did not legally apply to Senators, who were still considered civilians. (CWWS)

Clanken
This was a Gungan work for any mechanized speeder or vehicle that was used in combat. (CWTV12)

Clanker
This was a slang term used by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe a Separatist battle droid, referring to the clanking sound the droids made when they marched in formation. (CWN)

Clanky
This was the nickname of one of the clone troopers of Improcco Company who accompanied Jedi Knight Etain Tur-Mukan on the mission to extract the Sarlacc Battalions from Dinlo, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. (RCTZ)

ClanRing
Rumored to have been crafted by the first Riileb female ever to exist, this piece of jewelry was held by the eldest member of the MotherClan. It denoted her position as leader of the Riileb people. (SWJ13)

Clans of the Ancients
This was the term used to describe the oldest and most powerful of the Hutt families. These clans could trace their ancestry back in time to the origins of the Hutts on Varl. The decisions made by the members of the Clans of the Ancients formed the basis of Hutt civilization, although how they came to reach certain decisions was a mystery, even to most Hutts. (NEGA)

Clanse, Randle
This near-human Brosin was known to be the leader of the Brosin Underground, during the height of the New Order. A native of Shoengen, she and her lieutenant, Vuraj Marn, did their best to harrass the efforts of the Corporate Sector Authority. (AIR)

Clanson
This man worked as an Intelligence agent for the Alliance, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Major Sisquoc requested that Clanson accompany him to Dlor 3, where they hoped to confront Barosa Warren at a Secure Passage seminar. (AIR, OWS)

Clantaani
This tall, humanoid race was dsitinguished by its black and white fur, and by the long ears that sprouted from their wide skulls. (BH)

Claqa
A Bilar term for the grouping of minds into a sentient individual. In general, the individual Bilars in a claqa must be born within minutes of each other in order to develop the mindlink and share their thoughts. (GG4)

Claqball
This was a popular bar game, during the years following the Swarm War. The surface of a claqball table was quite squishy. (LF3)

Clar
This arid planet was covered with a variety of desert environments, from hot sands to ice-swept plains. (AIR)

Clarani
This elderly female Ryn was on the Jubilee Wheel when it was attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong. Her husband was killed in the attack, but Clarani managed to escape. She was later stranded on Duro, at Settlement Thirty-two, where she took in Jaina Solo. (BP)

Clarendox
This was the name of an up-scale restaurant located in Imperial City, on Coruscant. (MJEH)

Claria
This was the alias used by Mara Jade, when she infiltrated the palace of Moff Glovstoak, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Serving as the Emperor's Hand, Mara Jade was dispatched to investigate Glovstoak's loyalty to the Empire. In the guise of the eighteen-year-old Countess Claria, she was able to mingle with the political and military advisors who worked for Glovstoak, gaining their confidence while gleaning information from their words and actions. In order to get away from the crowds, Mara feigned the effects of drinking too much ambrostine, and was assisted to a couch by General Deerian. This allowed Mara a chance to investigate other parts of the Moff's palace, where she found several wildly-expensive pieces of artwork that indicated Moff Glovstoak had been embezzling Imperial funds for his own use.

She reused the Claria alias when she began backtrailing Glovstoak's art purchases, when she investigated the Birtraub Brothers Storage and Reclamation Center on Crovna. (A)

Clari-crystalline
This strong, clear material was used to manufacture picture windows for homes and large window panes for buildings. (NEGD)

Clarion Scholars Academy
This school of advanced education was located on the planet Daemen. (SWED)

Claris
A member of the New Republic's Intelligence Agency, Claris was part of the team sent to Verkuyl with Cobb Vartos and Selby Jarrad to help liberate the planet from Imperial control some three years after the Battle of Endor. However, he was captured before he and his team could set up and detonate their explosives, planted at the capital's main communications station. After the Republic fleet came to Verkuyl, a second wave of agents liberated Claris and his team from the Imperial prison. (TFNR)

Clarity Gate
This trapezoid-shaped arbor led to a contemplative garden at the Jedi Temple on Ossus, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (DN2)

Clariv Shipyards
This small starship production facility was loyal to the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. (AIR)

Claron
This was a pseudonym used by a smuggler who had a great deal of experience with droids. Claris was based on Svivren. (SWJ13)

Clars
This Twi'lek served Nilya Fek'ra as a doorman at her corporate headquarters on Cotellier. (GMH)

Clascvoria
This barren, rocky world was the fourth planet in the Ralltiir System. It was orbited by a single moon. (CCW)

Class 1 Defense Unit
Designed by Imperial Captain Kist and manufactured by Ulban Arms, this defense droid was originally created to augment the ground forces of the Empire. The Empire originally rejected the idea, but a nearly exact copy of the Class 1 unit showed up in the Corporate Sector, where it was used extensively by the Corporate Sector's Espos. The Class 1 Unit moved about on four articulated legs, and was armed with a medium blaster and a mdeium anti-vehicle cannon. It was later learned that the Corporate Sector Authority used armies of these droids to subdue the Trianii. (SWJ14)

Class 1 Pass
This form of identification card allowed an individual to gain access to the innermost levels of the New Republic military structure. The holder of a Class 1 pass was able to view and respond to some of the New Republic's most sensitive communications. (BTS)

Class 1000 Cruiser
This Kuat Drive Yards design was used by the Empire to patrol non-agressive systems. The 1000's measured 300 meters in length, and were armed with 28 turbolasers and 12 ion cannons. The basic crew complement was 580, with 80 gunners. (GG6)

Class 2 Multi-phasic Robot
This was a general term used to describe any automaton that was analogous to a second-degree droid, capable of performing technical and engineering activities. The primary difference was that the Class 2 Multi-phasic robot was equipped with near-sentient programming, allowing it to interact on a personal level with most of the galaxy's races. (LCM)

Class 5 Droid
A mathematical robot often used as a starship navigator. (LCM)

Class 580 Freighter
This light freighter was produced by Ghtroc Industries, and could transport up to six passengers and 200 metric tons of cargo. It measured 37 meters in length, required a single pilot, and was armed with a single laser cannon. (FOP, PP)

Class 720 Freighter
A tortoise-shaped transport ship manufactured by Ghtroc Industries, this 35-meter-long ship had a square central section. A forward cockpit stuck out from the front. Two forward loading platforms were located at the two front corners, just in front of the ship's primary ion drives, while the ship's hyperdrive was located in the rear. It had space for a crew of two, plus up to ten passengers, and the ship could transport up to 135 metric tons of cargo. The stock Ghtroc freighter was equipped with basic shielding and a single forward-mounted double laser cannon.

Unlike most other freighters, the 720 did not improve or enlarge the abilities of its forerunner, the Class 580 freighter. The Class 720 was equipped with a Class 2 hyperdrive, which was located in the rear of the ships. This meant that technicians had to move between the front and rear of the vessel when tuning and repairing the drive systems, instead of operating in a central drive bay.

The Class 720 freighter was developed by Ghtroc to compete with the YT-1300 light freighter produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, and a detailed marketing campaign was put together to help promote the ship to independent spacers. Unfortunately, the ship never caught on in the Core Worlds due to its slow speed and poor layout, and it never achieved the kind of success that followed the YT-1300. The Class 720 freighter did manage to gain a following among pilots in the Outer Rim Territories, and sold more than 10,000 units before Ghtroc fell into bankruptcy. (RPG, SN, FOP, WOTC, SSOG)

Class 729 Freighter
This was a model of light freighter produced by Ghtroc Industries. In most respects, the Class 729 was identical to the Class 720 freighter. (SWJ2)

Class D Transport
This was the designation of a Jawa sandcrawler. (REV)

Class Five Droid
This was the general term used to describe the vast number of droids and automata that were designed and manufactured to perform menial labor. In general, these droids were programmed with a minimal level of intelligence, often only enough to allow them to perform their tasks and nothing more. Class Five droids included general labor droids, labor specialist droids, and hazardous-serivce droids. (NEGD)

Class Four Droid
This was the general term used to describe those types of droids and automata that were designed and produced for combat or security. Many experts simply referred to Class Four droids as "droids with weapons." This classification included security droids, gladiator droids, battle droids, and assassin droids. (NEGD)

Class II Frigate
This was an Imperial frigate design. (SWED)

Class IV Moon
This was the designation of any small, natural satellite that orbited a planet. Most Class IV moons were denoted by their size, measuring between 120 and 160 kilometers in diameter. (E4Y, RFDV, DSTR)

Class One Droid
This was the general term used to describe some of the most sophisticated automata produced in the galaxy. These droids were programmed for studying physical, biological, and mathematical phenomena, included medical droids, biological and physical sciences droids, and mathematics droids. What made these droids different from most other automata was the fact that they were rarely developed to apply their knowledge to real-world situations. They were designed and developed to serve on thinktanks and in research environments to assist organic researchers in their endeavors. The primary exceptions to this were the medical droids that were developed to actually practice medicine on organic beings. (NEGD)

Class Space Cruiser
This was considered one of the clunkiest starship models produced during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo and the Clone Wars. (LJ6)

Class Three Carbon-Freezing Chamber
This was a model of carbon-freezing chamber produced by Figg and Associates. Several Class Three units were installed on Cloud City, for use in storing spin-sealed tibanna gas for shipment. (EGW)

Class Three Droid
This was the general term that was used to describe those droids and automata that were specifically designed to interact with organic beings. In general, these droids were given sophisticated programming and internal components, and were normally given forms that mimicked that of most humanoid races. This classification included protocol droids, servant droids, tutor droids, and child-care droids. (NEGD, LJ7)

Class Three Repulsorlift
This was one of the most advanced forms of repulsorlift drive systems produced for used in speeders and skimmers, during the final years of the Old Republic. (CN2)

Class Two Droid
This was the general term that was used to describe those droids that were designed and produced to perform technical or scientific activities. This classification included astromech droids, exploration droids, environmental management droids, engineering droids, and repair droids. In general, these droids took on forms that were better-suited for their roles, and lacked any way to communicate directly with organic beings. (NEGD)

Class VI Bulk Freighter
This was the Corellian Engineering Corporation's refitted version of the Praetorian-class frigate, produced during the decades that followed the Great Sith War. CEC purchased the designs to the ship from Rendili Hyperworks, and modified it for sale as a civilian transport vessel. (WOTC)

Class VI Laser Projector
Developed by BlasTech, this automated blaster was used to defend a specific location. Also known as a laser trap, the Class VI blaster was linked to a control computer and a sensor suite, allowing it to be remotely targetted on a specific object without human intervention. The Empire used these blasters to defend the prisoner cellblocks on the first Death Star. (EGW)

Class-4
This was the designation of a Tykannin power converter. (EGV)

Class-4T3 Power Generator
This portable, Eksoan power generator was used to power the BlasTech E-Web repeating blaster. (EGW)

Class-6 Escape Pod
Manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, these escape pods were similar in size and shape to the Faberstien-Lago design. The Class-6 pod had room for six beings, and had simple drive and sensor systems that determined the nearest inhabitable world and pushed the pod toward it. Note that The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels indicates that the CR90 Corvette is equipped with Class-6 escape pods, although the Star Wars Screen Entertainment package says it used the Faberstien-Lago design. (EGV)

Class-7 Repair Vessel
Manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards, these 560-meter ships were used to supply, repair, and minimally defend mining operations. These ships had limited hyperdrive capabilities, and were armed with a single turret-mounted turbolaser battery. (SN)

Class-A Cruiser
This was one of the strongest and most powerful cruiser classes in the galaxy, during the final years of the Old Republic. (LJ2)

Class-A Thermal Detonator
This type of thermal detonator had a blast radius of about 20 meters. (CCG7, E6Y)

Class-D Moon
This was the Imperial description for any barren, crater-scarred moon or satellite. (LTA2)

Class-I Freighter
This was another name for the LH-3210 freighter used by the Trade Federation. (COD)

Classic Era
This was the term used to describe the height of fashion and aristocracy in the Old Republic, when rulers were always meticulously dressed and adorned with handsome finery. (RDV)

Classical Ossan
Used by the Ysanna, this was the modern version of the ancient language spoken on the planet Ossus, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (EGP)

Clat the Shamer
This empathic mutant assassin once worked for the Guild of Vindicators. He was given the assignment to destroy Darth Vader for belittling the Guild. He tracked Vader to Cheelit, where the Dark Lord was playing Firepath with Lady Dohl. Unfortunately for Clat, he was walking into a trap. Vader had manipulated him to Cheelit, and when Clat entered Dohl's Hive Palace to capture Vader, he ended up on the Firepath board. There, Vader let him see what had happened to him, then captured him like any other Firepath piece. Clat was then consumed in a pillar of flame. (CSWDW)

Clatear
This alien race had a 600-year-old feud with the Nhoras race. Five separate generations of Jedi Knights failed to resolve the conflict, and the Empire simply let them be. The Clatear were heavily suppressed by Imperial forces, and thus learned how to fight better than the Nhoras. When the revelation of the Caamas Document brought forth many inter-species feuds, the Clatear decided that the time was right to attack the Nhoras and end the feud. (SOP)

Clat'Ha
This beautiful woman, with red hair and green eyes, was the chief operations manager for Arcona Mineral Harvest Corporation's operations on Bandomeer. She was constantly struggling with the underhanded tactics of Offworld Mining Company, but managed to befriend Obi-Wan Kenobi when he was sent to the Agricultural Corps there. After the arrival of Qui-Gon Jinn aboard the Monument, they managed to defeat a group of pirates and sway a group of Offworld miners to come work for them. After landing on Bandomeer, and exposing Xanatos' plan for Offworld, Clat'Ha managed to obtain nearly exclusive rights to Bandomeer's ionite mines. (RF, DR)

Clathor, Huwin
This man worked as a geode miner on the planet Endregaad, during the early years of the New Order. (TF)

Clatto, Ah'Shlee
This black-haired man worked as a security officer for the CreedCon Construction company on Cularin, during the final years of the Old Republic. Clatto and his crew were dispatched to investigate the disappearance of a construction crew that was working on the bridge portion of the racecourse facility that Thaedius Creed was building, after the builders accidentally opened the cave that imprisoned the t'salak. The security team was eventually rescued by the freelance adventurers hired by Creed to locate the construction crew. (FOC1)

Clavier
This Pakuuni pirate corvette was destroyed by Imperial forces, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE, TIEP)

Claw
This bounty hunter was the most feared in his sector. He used cybernetically-enhanced creatures as scouts and trackers, and never had a bounty get away. The Claw was finally stopped on the planet Yaronn by a group of freelance mercenaries, whom he had lured to the planet in hopes of killing them. The Claw believed that they were responsible for the death of his brother, and Imperial officer who was arrested and killed in a prison fight. He offered them a challenge, giving them an hour's head start to avoid him. The mercenaries managed to double back on The Claw and apprehend him. (GMS)

Claw
A CR90 Corvette used by pirates who worked for the discoverer of Butler's Cove, this ship tried to waylay the Alliance agents escorting Dr. Hegerty to Refgar. (SN)

Claw
This Interdictor-class cruiser was part of the small fleet provided to Captain Vocis Kenit during his search for the Far Orbit. After the Empire's failure to stop the Alliance's use of pirates and privateers, the Claw was reassigned to the small group of starships which was trailing the Suprosa, just before the ship was captured by the Alliance. (FOP, XWA)

Claw Vine
This aggressive, thorny vine was native to the planet Kashyyyk, and was considered a nuisance by virtually every other form of life. Claw vines were named for the way in which the leaves of eh plant curled into claw-like forms, and were known to be hindrances to the movements of most creatures, as the leaves caught in fur or ripped flesh when a creature tried to move through them. Claw vines were also somewhat motile, and could move their branches slightly in order to snag their prey. The claw vine was not carnivorous, lacking any sort of mouth or orifice. Instead, the vines fed off the nutrients that were exuded when the bodies of their prey decomposed. (GMR4, MIS7)

Claw, The
This modified Kazellis Light Freighter was owned and operated by Cragus 12, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. About half of the ship's normal cargo space was converted into holding cells, allowing Cragus 12 to transport multiple targets at one time. The ship's systems were accessible to both Cragus 12 and his security droid, GX-99. GX-99 could call the ship to a remote location using its internal homing beacon.

The Claw was armed with a quad laser cannon for attack and defense. While it was equipped with a relatively slow Class 12 hyperdrive, the ship was well-defended and hard to defeat in combat. (SWJ1, OWS)

Clawbird
A species of light-colored birds native to Wayland, clawbirds were known as stana to the Myneyrhsi. These small avians had wings which were tipped with sharp spines that could inject a slow-acting poison into a target. Clawbirds attacked in swarms, with one wave bringing down their prey while another protected the kill from hidden scavengers. (TLC, TTSB)

Claw-cable
This thin, durable cable could be deployed from a utility belt or an aerosol launcher, for use as a grappling line. Although it was possible for a human to use the claw-cable, the device was generally installed on a droid. (E3N)

Clawcat
This fast, agile, six-legged predator was native to Goroth Prime. Most clawcats lived in the mountainous regions of the planet, feeding on b'karriand other small herbivores. Measuring nearly three meters in length, the clawcats were almost totally fearless. Despite their obvious speed, clawcats were generally ambush predators. (GSE)

Clawclam
This shellfish, native to the planet Ando, was considered a delicacy by the Aqualish people. Clawclams were often served fried. (PH)

Clawcraft
This was a more common name for the Nssis-class Clawcraft, although this term was used to describe any number of other starfighters that were fast and maneuverable. (SSOG)

Clawcraft Spin
This was a Chiss starfighter maneuver, in which a clawcraft was sent into a spin that rotated about the central cockpit in all three dimensions. While in the spin, the pilot fired all weapons, unleashing a hail of laser fire at targets all around the fighter. (DN3)

Clawdite
This was the native language of the Clawdite race, consisting of hissing sibilants and stressed, guttural croaks. (WOA23, UANT)

Clawdite
This race of reptilian, humanoid beings was noted for its ability to alter its shape. Clawdites were native to the planet Zolan. Descended from the base Zolander stock, Clawdites were polymorphic within the boundaries of their own body mass and shape, but could pass for virtually any other race with the proper concentration on the form.

This ability was accidentally triggered when scientists tried to activate dormant skin genes in the Zolanders, in an effort to protect the race from increasing solar radiation. The genetic structure of the Zolander subjects was dramatically altered, and centuries of evolution produced the Clawdite race.

Depending on the skill of the individual Clawdite, they might simply change their facial appearance or alter their entire body shape. The ability to alter one's shape allowed the Clawdites to blend into enemy camps, where they could gather intelligence of commit crimes. Shape-changing took a good deal of patience and practice for the Clawdites, although medical enhancement of their physiology could enhance their abilities. It wasbelieved that an individual's ability to alter its appearance increased with age and experience. A given appearance couldn't be maintained for very long, and a dead Clawdite always reverted back to its original appearance.

Because of their shape-changing ability, Clawdites were ostracized by their Zolander cousins, and there were several periods of civil war marking Zolan's history. The Clawdites petitioned Count Dooku and the Separatists for aid in defeating the Zolanders, but were ignored when the Clone Wars broke out.

Because of the ability of the Clawdites to alter their appearance, the planet Zolan was blockaded by the Empire, in an effort to prohibit the Clawdites from traveling abroad. After the Battle of Endor, the Clawdites mercilessly attacked the Zolanders, eventually taking control of the planet before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. At this point, the New Republic began recruiting the Clawdites, hoping to use their shape-changing skills to infiltrate the Yuuzhan Vong. Note that Star Wars Insider, issue 70 indicates that radioactive bombardment from outer space triggered the change in the Zolanders, rather than a failed experiment, resulting in the creation of the Clawdite race. This explanation also appears in The New Essential Guide to Alien Species, contradicting the Star Wars Databank. (ZW, E2N, VD2, SWI60, SWDB, SWI70, NEGA)

Clawfish
This immense Quarren was known as the owner of the Event Horizon, a seedy tavern located on Duro's Rrudobar orbital city. A nasty individual at heart, Clawfish was distinguished by the fact that he was missing one of his facial tentacles. Before owning the Event Horizon, Clawfish worked as an outlaw tech in the Core and the Corporate Sector. No one was ever sure exactly why he was so bitter and callous toward others, but it was rumored he was actually a fairly good individual if one took the time to get to know him. (WOTC, CCW)

Clawmice
This small creature was native to many desert planets. (RA2)

Clawswift
This avian, native to the planet Naboo, had a pair of pedipalps which hung down from its body when it was flying. (RP)

Clawthorn
Scrubby plants native to Yavin 4, the clawthorns have large, hooked thorns growing in their limbs. (COTF)

Clay
A family of moisture farmers contemporary with the Lars and the Jensens, living on the planet Tatooine during the height of the New Order. (TME)

Claydisk
This sharpshooting sport employed special disks that were created from clay and baked until hard and brittle. These disks were then loaded into a firing mechanism and flung into the air, where a shooter had to quickly take aim and fire in order to strike the disk. The firing mechanism could be adjusted to fling the disks into various points in the sky, creating an ever-changing pattern that the shooter had to adjust to in order to keeo hitting the disks. (RCTC)

Claymore Mine
An antipersonnel mine used to disable enemy troops. They can be set to explode after a specific time delay, or to detonate when touched. (DF)

CLD-50
Manufactured by SoroSuub, this transport crate was outfitted with a cryogenic freezer unit. This allowed shippers to keep certain cargoes cold or frozen during transport. (PSG)

CLE-004
This Publictechnic window cleaner droid often worked with the INS-444 installer droid, ensuring that the pane of glass or clari-crystalline that was installed to repair a broken window pane was perfectly cleaned after installation. These droids were deployed in urban areas, such as the cityscape of Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The CLE-004 droid could also be deployed on its own, moving throughout the city in search of dirty windows to clean. Because these droids were seen everywhere, and they were designed to hover outside a building to clean the windows, CLE-004 were often purchased or stolen by unscrupulous organizations and re-programmed to serve as spies. Note that Star Wars Galaxies indicates that the CLE-004 was a holo-pet droid. (SWI68, NEGD, SWGAL)

Clean Land
This area, located south of the city of Nystao, on the planet Honoghr, was the only section of the planet that remained unaffected by the planet-wide plague that wiped out its plantlife. Most of the Noghri clans made their homes along the edges of the Clean Land, protecting the inner area for agriculture. The Clean Land was once a neutral location for the various Noghri clans, where they could discuss matters without worrying about inter-clan rivalries. (DFR)

Clean Sweep
This modified YT-1300 freighter was owned and operated by the Comet Broom Service, during the final years of the Old Republic. The Clean Sweep was used to move comets from potentially dangerous orbits in the Cularin Comet Cloud, thereby ensuring safer passage for starships moving into and out of the system. The Clean Sweep was modified to allow it to perform its duties as a comet mover. The normal weapons systems consisted of a front-mounted laser cannon and a turret-mounted quad laser cannon, both of which were used ostensibly for destroying large or dangerous comets. An enhanced starship control and navigation system was installed so that the entire ship could be operated by the pilot and co-pilot, although the optimal crew of the ship was six. (AYS)

Cleaner Droid
This was the generic term used to describe the legions of automatons which cleaned the exterior surfaces of the skyscrapers and buildings of the planet Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic. These droids, such as CLE-004, had only minimal subsystems, relying on the commands of a central processor to drive them. (VD2, E2)

Cleansing of the Nine Houses
This was one of the many military campaigns that was considered part of the era known as the Old Sith Wars, which occurred some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The actual events of the Cleansing of the Nine Houses occurred shortly after the end of the Great Sith War, when the Jedi Order combined forces with the military of House Pelagia to confront the growing threat of the Mecrosa Order in the Tapani Sector of the galaxy. The Mecrosa Order, under the leadership of Sith practitioner Viscountess Mireya, had been slowly assassinating any rivals to the power of House Mecetti, and would have caused more trouble if the Great Sith War hadn't heightened the galaxy's fear of the Sith. The Jedi worked with House Pelagia to destroy the Mecrosa Order, "cleansing" their spies and agents from the various worlds of the Tapani Sector. Despite their efforts, the Jedi were not able to fully eliminate the Mecrosa Order, as a few individuals who lacked sensitivity to the Force were able to avoid detection and go into hiding. (SWI80, OWS)

Cleansing, The
This was another term used by the Yevetha to refer to the Great Purge. (TT)

Clear Lake
This was one of the few landlocked bodies of water found on the planet Senali. (SP)

Clear Skies
This was a common phrase that served as the traditional farewell between independent spacers. (HSE)

ClearSkyes Boutique
Located in the city of Xakrea, on the planet Darkknell, this shop served as a front for an Imperial Intelligence drop site and computer terminal during the height of the New Order. (TFNR)

Cleaver
An Alliance Corvette destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Cleaver
This was the nickname used by the clone trooper Knuckles to describe the former navigation droid known as Teejay, which was nearly destroyed by battle droids on the planet Kynachi. Teejay, who had been reworked to serve as a waiter at Lalo Gunn's restaurant, was put back together to act as a combat droid, to help Knuckles and his fellow clone troopers defend Gunn's Diner and fight back against the Separatists who were controlling the main KynachTech Industries factory. The droid immediately showed skills with a shock-stick, which prompted Knuckles to give it a new nickname. Prior to the mission to infiltrate the factory, clone trooper Breaker took Cleaver aside and ordered the droid to protect the others, so that Breaker could split off from the rest and carry out his own mission, ostensibly to bring down the communications jamming equipment in the factory. Cleaver proved its worth almost immediately, destroying any battle droid that crossed their path, and helping the clones and Nuru Kungurama to infiltrate the factory and rescue the prisoners being held there. When Overseer Umbrag set off the factory's self-destruct system, the clones thought that Breaker wsa lost. Cleaver, however, was able to locate Breaker among the rubble and pull his body to safety. (SM1)

Cleft, Sixtus
This Delphanian served as the chief of the work gangs that were part of the Face Gang, which formed aboard the prison barge Purge about a year before the Battle of Yavin. When the leader of the Face Gang, Aur Myss, discovered that Sixtus was making deals with other groups of prisoners, he found himself in trouble. Myss wasted no time in having Sixtus' throat cut in a secluded area, and had the body placed back in its cell. ICO Wembly found Cleft's body in its cell, but without any obvious evidence of foul play, Wembly made no attempt to investigate further. (SWDT)

Cleft Head
This tavern, located in the city of ChikatLik on Ord Cestus, was known for its wake-tea and conversation. Many of ChikatLik's residents converged on the Cleft Head for any manner of stimulants, especially the office workers who never really went home from their jobs. (TCD)

Clench Challenge
This was a form of combat used by the Wookiees of Kashyyyk to determine an individual's strength. A pair of competitors locked their arms around each other and squeezed, clenching their arms together until one Wookiee gave in. (AFA)

Clendora
Lando Calrissian once won the deed to a Clendoran brewery as a result of his efforts in the Battle of Taanab. (SWJ5)

Clenna
This grizzled man was formerly a Sergeant in the Imperial Army, where he dreamed of becoming a drill instructor. However, he spent most of his career in the classroom learning military theory, and decided not to re-enlist when his hitch was over. He returned to his homeworld of Yalln, but was bored without any form of activity. He eventually took a job working for Barosa Warren at the Galactic Outdoor Survival School, where his anti-Alliance sentiments meshed well with those of Warren himself. While at GOSS, Clenna found himself learning almost as much from Warren as he was teaching his own students. (AIR)

Clenswash
This tank was used for bathing. (RM)

Clera
This was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife. In this case, a female will take on their husband's grandfather's name for official matters. The name Clera indicated the sky, wind, or air. (GCG)

Cleroff
This man was the king of the daylight side of a remote planet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He worried that peace would never come to the two sides of the planet, and that his own daughter, Princess Risa, would no produce a male heir. When Han Solo crash-landed on the planet, he provided Cleroff with a plan to solve all his problems. Han arranged to have Prince Gil kidnapped by other brigands, so that King Cleroff could pay his ransom and make Gil's family indebted to him. In this way, Cleroff could demand Gil's marriage to Princess Risa as recompense. He didn't count on his own brother, the vizier Marius, plotting to voerthrow him, but he gladly accepted Han's help in eliminating any threats. (MC101)

Cless, Mavin
This man was a respected culinary expert who reviewed many restaurants in the Outer Rim Territories. He sometimes ran afoul of minor crimelords who owned these restaurants, and had to adjust his reviews accordingly. (GG11)

Clessigan, Thom
This Alliance agent was based in the Spilgan region of the planet Hollast VII, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Like Lanish Ran, Clessigan was on Hollast VII working undercover, posing as one of Glorga the Hutt's lieutenants.After Glorga was murdered by Nakaron, the Trandoshan tried to track down Ran and murder him as well. At a warehouse in Spilgan, a vicious firefight ended with the murder of Lanish Ran. Clessigan witnessed the entire thing, and immediately arrested Nakaron. While en route to the penal colony on Dles IV, Nakaron seized control of the transfer shuttle Protector, taking Agent Clessigan and the rest of the crew hostage. The ship and its passengers were not seen again.

After the Battle of Endor, the New Republic mounted an investigation into Nakaron's whereabouts, in an effort to rescue Agent Clessigan and his crew. (SWJ4, OWS)

Cleven
This smuggler was an acquaintence of Pyrron Nox and Gideon. He was killed shortly before the Battle of Hoth, after making a run from the planet Kessel. (SWJ12)

Cley, Usu
This man served the Grand Army of the Republic as a combat instructor at the Rimsoo Five military hospital on Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. A short man who fought in the middle weight classes, Cley had been a regular champion in the Ninth Fleet for several years before being stationed on Drongar. There, he finally met his match when Phow Ji was hired to served as the combat instructor for Rimsoo Seven. (MBS)

Clezo
This Rodian was one of Prince Xizor's vigos, or one of his closest lieutenants. Clezo wasn't flashy or ruthlessly cruel, but he nevertheless posted a consistent profit each quarter. He had ties to many bounty hunting organizations, including House Tresario, and plotted to assassinate Navik the Red and install his own puppet - Chorh-dha - as the leader of the Chattza clan. Clezo was known for his management skills, and his innate ability to always find the right being for any given job. (SE, RESB)

Clezo
Meaning "curious", this was one of the most common names among Rodian males. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)

Clicker
This was a slang term used in shockboxing to describe any punch that originated near an opponent's torso and went upwards, with the shockmitt connecting with the opponent's chin. This form of upper-cutting punch was named for the clicking sound that an opponent's teeth made when the jaws were suddenly forced together by the punch. (OWS)

Clicksticks
This tribe of beings maintained its existence on the planet Iego, on a mesa overlooking the Scatter. The tribe, formed from castaways who had been stranded on the strange planet, was led for many years by Darubang Yosa. (WOTC, GORW)

Client Hangar Two
This was one of the starship hangars that were found on the Nickel One asteroid. It was set aside for use by non-Verpine visitors to the asteroid. (LF9)

Cliff Hawk
This raptor was native to the planet Prakith, where it hunted small mammals in the mountains and canyons. The plumage of the cliff hawk was mottled with grays and browns, allowing it to blend into the rocky environments in which it hunted. The talons of the cliff hawk were exceptionally sharp and strong, and allowed the avian to hang upside-down while waiting for its prey to wander near. Although it was a powerful flyer, the cliff hawk actually preferred to move about on its two legs while hunting for prey. (PH)

Cliff Wampa
Found on the planet Gall, this was a subspecies of wampa ice creature that was adept at climbing rocks and cliffs. The hardened claws of the cliff wampa allowed it to dig into solid rock, thereby creating handholds or carving out cave-like homes. Investigation into the origins of the cliff wampa revealed that the creature had been bio-engineered by Imperial scientists, developed as a form of guard beast during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (NEGA)

Cliffborer Worm
This arthropod creature was native to the sandstone outcroppings found on the planet Tatooine. They could grow to lengths of ten meters or more, but the average cliffborer was usually about 4 meters in length. A pair of jointed, vestigial legs provided the cliffborer with a way to defend itself, as well as a way to move through its tunnels. Note that the Illustrated Star Wars Universe indicates that the legs of the cliffborer worm were found at the rear of its body, while the Alien Anthology portrays the cliffborer with legs near its head. These creatures inhabited the rocky outcroppings that were sprinkled throughout the desert, subsiding on razor moss and lichens. As a species, they were not aggressive, and would rather escape into a tunnel than face a larger opponent. However, cliffborer worms guarded their nests with tenacity, and very few beings would approach an immobile worm for fear that it might mistakenly attack them. The tough skin of the cliffborer worm was used to make durable boots, and could also be fashioned into coverings for speeders. (ISU, ANT, UA)

Cliffhold
This city was the location of Iego's primary spaceport, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (CWTV18)

Cliffside
This was the name used by the students of the Imperial Academy on Carida to describe the facilities. The name referred to the fact that the main living halls were built on the side of a sheer rock face, and the walkway which led from the halls to the main assembly field was perched on the edge of the cliff. When the trainees were about to graduate, they had to assemble and march from the living halls to the field, in full dress uniform and in precise marching order, while negotiating the walkway. In the history of the Carida Academy, several students fell to their deaths when their troop leaders failed to turn the platoon precisely, and they were literally pushed over the edge by the troops behind them. This was the final "test" each trainee had to pass before graduation. (SFE)

Cliffside Resort Tower
This was one of the many casinos established on Streysel Island, during the height of the New Order. The Cliffside Resort Tower also offered a variety of accommodations, catering to high rollers and budget-minded visitors. (WOTC)

Cliffside, The
This was one of two cantinas which were located in the outpost settlement of Elesa, on Ando Prime, during the early years of the New Order. (GMR2)

Cliff-snail
Native to the island cliffs of Vaynai, this snail was harvested for its tasty flesh, which was best served broiled. (GMR8)

Clig
This nut-producing plant was native to the planet Shelkonwa. (A)

Cligot
This Imperial Navy Yeoman was one of the few females who served under Ors Dogot on the Bloodprice. She was killed when the ship was destroyed by the Teljkon vagabond. (SOL)

Cligris, Thes
This Duros trader operated his business from a base onboard the Birthright, which he purchased just after the institution of the New Order. Although outwardly a businessbeing, Thes was also a supporter of the Alliance, and provided the Birthright as a transport whenever it was needed. (SOG)

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

Climatizer
see Ionic Ring (CSWEA)

Climber
This clone Captain was a member of Ion Team of commandos, based out of Boz Pity, during the height of the Clone Wars. Climber and the rest of Ion Team were attached to the forces commanded by Jedi General Roan Shryne on Deko Neimoidia, and were later dispatched to Murkhana to augment Shryne's forces from the 32nd Air Combat Wing, just prior to the command to execute Order 66. During the fighting on Murkhana, Climber was forced to take up Shryne's lightsaber and use it to protect the fallen Jedi, who had been attacked by a mercenary and forced to the ground. His fellow clones joked about the experience, but Climber considered it a serious matter between himself and Shryne. When the call came into execute Order 66, Climber was one of the few clone commanders who refused. He and the rest of Ion Team knew that Shryne had done more to uphold the tenets of the Old Republic than most officers, and they failed to understand why he should be executed. Ordered to ambush the Jedi, Climber and his entire squad launched several ECD grenades into the fray, which temporarily rendered the helmet systems of Salvo and his squad inoperable. This allowed Shryne and his fellow Jedi the chance to escape into the wilderness of Murkhana. For their part in the escape of the Jedi, Ion Team was confronted by Darth Vader himself, and two clones were cut down before Climber and the other clone could escape. Climber himself was shot in the leg as he fled, but kept running anyway. The two surviving members of Ion Team were quickly captured, and were sent to prison on Agon Nine. (RDV)

Climbing Claws
These metal claws were used by the Mistryl warriors for climbing anything from trees to buildings. They fit the hands like gloves, and allow the Mistryl to drive the claws into a surface and gain a handhold. (VOF)

Climbing Fern
This quick-growing fern inhabited the upper levels of the forest on Yavin 4, spreading out from the branches of Massassi trees in brilliant green cascades. Each frond measured almost two meters in length. (GG2, JS)

Climbing Tauntaun
One of the smallest subspecies of tauntaun native to the planet Hoth, the climbing tauntaun had wide paws studded with heavy claws. This allowed the creature to climb the sides of glaciers and caves to reach lichens and moss, and contributed to its name. These tauntauns were more rodent-like than the others, and lacked the curving horns of their larger cousins. The two stubby horns of the climbing tauntaun curved upward, meeting just above the crown of the head. (WSW)

Climbsuit
This was a generic term used to describe any set of clothing - in pieces or a full-body unit - which assisted the wearer in climbing activities. They were often coated with FrictionGrip to assist in ascending steep structures. The first Climbsuits were produced by Ayelixe/Krongbing textiles. (ROE, AEG)

Climm
This obese man served as the police marshal for the law enforcement agency that protected Vaced's primary spaceport, during the years following the Alliance-Confederation War. Climm and his Bothan deputies were on duty when Cynner and Remata tried to make off with the Millennium Falcon. (MF)

Clinging Tree
This species of plant was native to the planeyt Yuga 2, and fills that world's Planetary Park. (MTS)

Clingpant
This was a form of skin-tight pants that was worn by many females of the galaxy to accentuate the natural curves of their lower bodies. (LF9)

Clingsilk
This was a sheer, clinging fabric used to make provocative eveningwear during the early years of the New Republic. (SWI67)

Clingwire
This form of heavy-duty wire was used by law enforcement agents, as well as bounty hunters, to ensnare their quarry. It could be shot from a wrist-mounted launcher, with a heavy head to ensure it reached its target, and wound tightly around the body. The wire itself provided additional gripping power, which only helped tighten the wire's hold whenever the target moved. Clingwire also had a high tensile strength, and could support huge amounts of weight or stress. (E2Y)

Clink
This was the nickname of Myn Donos' R2 astromech droid, during his tenure with Wraith Squadron. (SOC)

Clip
This group of Alliance container vessels was destroyed by Imperial forces, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE, TIEP)

Clip Beetle
This was a form of insect raised by the Yuuzhan Vong. The shell of the clip beetle was very nutritious, and was a staple in the diet of many of the Yuuzhan Vong's biological constructs. They were also the primary means with which the Yuuzhan Vong connected pieces of clothing or even living tissue. The clip beetles were voracious feeders, and their mandibles were incredibly strong. When the head joint of a clip beetle was manipulated, the beetle would open its jaws. It could then be placed into position, to secure two pieces of cloth or the opposing sides of a wound, and allowed to close its jaws. The head was then popped off the body with a squeeze of the fingers, securing the two pieces in place. The body section could then be squeezed to express the tender meat inside. (EL2, T)

Clipper
This Alliance shuttle was part of the task force that attacked Imperial station NL-1, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE, TIEP)

Clive
This man was the older of the two cooks aboard the Courteous who played sabacc with Lando Calrissian, during the blockade of the ThonBoka, many years before the Battle of Yavin. (LCS)

CLL-6
This series of Cybot Galactica binary load-lifters was produced during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN5)

CLL-8
This was Cybot Galactica's version of a binary load lifter, produced during the height of the New Order. The CLL-8 measured three meters in height, and was a two-legged automaton that was similar in appearance to an Imperial AT-ST scout walker. (SWJ14, EGD, NEGD)

CLL-M2
This Cybot Galactic binary load lifter was developed during the final years of the Old Republic. It's massive size made it the perfect labor droid for military operations, where oversized components and heavy ordnance had to be moved on a regular basis. In order to handle these heavy objects, the CLL-M2 was equipped with a repulsorlift counterweight that developed a reversed field of influence. Instead of pushing the back end of the load lifter up, this reversed field pulled the CLL-M2 back toward the ground, locally increasing the pull of gravity to compensate for heavier cargo. (CHRN2, NEGD)

Clo, Nygreena
This Jedi Knight, along with Plessus Ghon, Ixian Rovieda and Padawan Renxis Dielle, was killed on Kabal during a series of riots broke out when the Trade Federation overtaxed the planet for shipping. The taxation occurred just before the onset of the Clone Wars, and led to massive food shortages among the Kamarian people. The Jedi had been called in to quell the riots, when a fleet of supply ships loyal to Count Dooku and the Separatists began to drop food supplies to the populace. A scramble to obtain food ensued, and the Jedi were killed while trying to maintain the peace. (HNN5)

Cloak
This was the name of the group of Alliance ATR-6 transports used to knock out an Imperial sensor net, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)

Cloak Leader
The callsign for the lead spacetrooper piloting the mole miners in the Battle of Sluis Van. (HTTE)

Cloak of Nuun
This specialized cloak was bio-engineered fur by those Yuuzhan Vong warriors who were escalated to the ranks of the Hunters. Named for the warrior Nuun, the Cloak was a living material containing photosensitive bacteria that made the wearer blend into their surroundings. A specialized form of the Cloak of Nuun was developed by the Shapers, and hid the wearer's thoughts as well as making them almost invisible. (FP, SWI62, UF)

Cloak of the Sith
The region of space surrounding the Roon System, it was filled with dangerous meteors, asteroids, and planetoids. (DCAR)

Cloak Squadron
This was the name given to the squadron of cloaked TIE Fighters desployed by Grand Admiral Thrawn at the Battle of Sluis Van, some five years after the Battle of Endor. The TIE Fighters had been carried into the Sluis Van shipyards by the Nartissteu, which exploded in order to allow the TIE Fighters to infiltrate the shipyards and launch their attack. (HTTE)

Cloaked Goddess
This was a common name given to the Yuuzhan Vong deit Yun-Harla. (FH3)

Cloaking Device
This was a device which caused a ship to appear invisible to another ship's scanners. There were two types of cloaking devices that were developed in the galaxy. The earliest form employed the mineral known as stygium, and was manufactured by the Sienar Advanced Projects Laboratory. First used on the Sith Infiltrator, stygium-based cloaking devices were extremely efficient, and allowed the cloaked ship to use it sensors to monitor its surroundings. However, stygium was found only on Aeten II, and was prohibitively expensive to mine. This didn't prevent the mining of the mineral, however, and many ships on both sides of the Clone Wars regularly traveled through hyperspace without being detected. In the turmoil of the Clone Wars, though, Aeten II's resources were completely stripped away, and stygium technology was lost. Imperial scientists then discovered that hibridium could also be used to generate a cloaking device. Initial testing seemed to indicate the hibridium-based cloaking could only be used on stationary objects. However, with further research, a hibridium cloaking device was developed for starship use. Unfortunately, it was tremendously bulky, and required huge amounts of power to operate. Its abilities were overshadowed by its cost, and it was never fully implemented. The one major drawback to the hibridium cloaking device was that it was unstable during hyperspacial travel. This fact was not known to Admiral Zaarin, who attempted to steal a version for the Alliance. He took a cloaked CR90 corvette into hyperspace to escape Vice Admiral Thrawn but the cloaking device ruptured and destroyed the corvette as it entered hyperspace. Several years after the Battle of Endor, Grand Admiral Thrawn recovered the technology from Mount Tantiss and used it twice: once at the Battle of Sluis Van, to hide the contents of his false freighter Narsisstue; and again when he mounted them on asteroids and set them loose in orbit around Coruscant. There were several limitations to using the device on a starship, the foremost of which was that the cloaked ship was as "double-blind": the cloaked ship was as blind to the outside world as the ship was to observation. This presented a problem to early engineers and designers, but was overcome by the advent of the Imperial Computer Combat Predictor. It didn't alleviate the fact that the cloaked ship was blind, but tried allow it the opportunity to shoot down attacking craft. (HTTE, TLC, TIE, SOP, X1, SOG, YDR)

Cloaking Shadow
This term was used to describe the secondary sensor reading produced by tracking devices. When a being needed to track the position of a starship, a homing beacon or other device was affixed to the target ship's hull. This allowed the pursuer to follow the ship, since the tracking device gave off a signal indicating the target's position. If detected by the target, the tracking device registered as a "cloaking shadow" on its own sensors. (E2, BF1)

CloakShape Fighter
Developed by the old Kuat Systems Engineering company, the CloakShape fighter was a slow, underpowered, but quite dependable starfighter that traded maneuverability for durability. Originally produced around the same time as the Z-95 Headhunter, the few CS Fighters that survived the Galactic Civil War were found mainly in smuggler fleets. First introduced several decades before the Clone Wars, the CS Fighter was a simple design that was easily modified for specific uses. The central, tube-shaped fuselage was supported by two wide wings that gave the fighter the appearance of a flying wing. A stabilizing foil was mounted at the rear to provide any maneuverability the CS Fighter had. Its primary mission profile was as an atmospheric fighter craft, but it could be quickly upgraded for space combat. Because of the ease with which these ships could be upgraded, very few unmodified ships could be found by the time of the Battle of Yavin.

The CS could be modified in a number of ways, mainly with the addition of Curich Engineering's rear wing and stabilizer conversion kit. This kit, which improved maneuverability and allowed the addition of a hyperdrive sled, was so popular that many people forget it wasn't part of the original design. The CloakShape fighter measured fifteen meters in length, and was armed with a pair of laser cannons and two concussion missile launchers. In the original, unmodified state, a Cloakshape fighter could attain speeds of 950 kilometers per hour in atmosphere.

During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, many of these ships were flown by Jedi Knights on various missions. These craft became known as Whitecloak Fighters, because the Jedi painted them white to make them obvious. (DE1, DESB, EGV, NEGV, SSOG)

Clockwatcher
Developed by MicroThrust, this wrist chronometer did much more than tell time. With the addition of specially-designed peripherals, the Clockwatcher could provide information on ambient temperature, gravity, atmospheric conditions, and the surrounding environment. A communication module allowed the wearer to link up with their droid for remote operation. (GFT)

Clodhopper
A race of herbivores native to the planet Naboo, these large, grasshopper-like creatures hated the water. Note that Operation: Clodhopper claims these creatures were omnivorous. The Naboo consider them pests, since they often ravage crops and destroy farmlands. The Gungans, on the other hand, consume them as tasty snacks, and use their hard shells to make musical instruments. Clodhoppers hatch from small, spherical eggs which begin incubating as soon as they encounter an atmosphere. Once hatched, infant clodhoppers voraciously attack any organic matter in search of their first meal. A pair of clodhoppers can produced as many as 2,000 babies in a week when young, and up to 1,000 babies per week as they mature, and never lose the ability to reproduce. Because of this, the export of clodhoppers was restricted, as they could wreak havoc with the natural ecosystem of an unprotected world. (GF, WOA2, WSW)

Clog, The
This was the most densely-populated section of the city of Iritsa, on the planet Chazwa. Buildings in this area of the city were built with whatever materials were available, giving it a ramshackle appearance. However, the natives of The Clog were fiercely loyal to their homes, and despised the wealthier beings who lived in the area known as The Stones. (ND)

Clog-dweller
This was the name adopted by the beings who lived in The Clog section of Iritsa, on Chazwa. (ND)

Clomv
This Jeodu served as one of Dequc's personal guards. (MJEH)

Clondex
This medicine was instrumental in keeping the sufferers of Zithrom's Disease alive, although the drug was not a cure. (TFE)

Clone
Genetically reproduced beings, clones were created from genetic material taken from a specific source. Among the best cloners in the galaxy were the Khommites and the Kaminoans. Both races used genetic manipulation to maintain their civilization. The Khommites cloned individual family members who exhibited desireable traits, so that each succeeding generation was a replica of the previous one. Very little variation occurred, so that the Khommites were assured of stable generations. The Kaminoans, by comparison, produced clones for other beings. Their work first came to light shortly before the Battle of Geonosis, when Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered the clone army which had been commissioned by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. These clones, grown over a period of ten years from the genetic material of Jango Fett, were used to augment the forces of the Jedi Knights in defeating the Geonosians. This vast clone army was later used during the Clone Wars. The Kaminoan clones were provided with growth acceleration, producing a twenty-year-old clone in just ten years. Over the next generation, the average growth period was reduced to just 3-5 Imperial years, and there was an accepted doctrine that the shortest time needed to create a stable clone was 1 year. There was speculation that a method was found that could allow them to be grown in 15 to 20 days, and this speculation was shown to be true when Grand Admiral Thrawn began mass-prodicing clones to crew the Katana Fleet ships he obtained some five years after the Battle of Endor. Investigation into his cloning activities revealed that Thrawn was growing his clones at the Mount Tantiss facility on Wayland, in the presence of thousands of ysalamiri. The ability of the ysalamiri to create bubbles that repelled the Force allowed Thrawn's clones to grow without the "normal" influence of the Force, resulting in exceptionally fast growth rates. However, this lack of contact with the Force warped the minds of these rapidly-grown clones, which eventually led to insanity. Thrawn felt that the risk of insanity was sufficient in order to quickly create a legion of armed forces. (E4, DFR, DE1, TLC, JASB)

Clone Assassin
This was the name used to describe those specially-trained jet troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic who were trained to eliminate specific targets with a minimum of collateral damage. (WOTC)

Clone Commando
This was the name given to those specially-trained clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic who were trained to act as infiltration agents, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Officially known as Republic Commandos, these troopers trained separately from both the rank-and-file clone trooper and the ARC trooper, and always were trained in squads of four. Commandos wore specially-upgraded Katarn armor, with was painted a dull gray for better camouflage. Like other clones produced for the GAR, clone commandos were humans who had feeling and needs, but their military training bred most of these feelings out. Unlike other clones, however, commandos developed deep relationships with the other members of the four-man teams. The loss of one or more members of the team often left the survivors with feelings of pain and anguish, which the commandos kept to themselves. Like clone troopers, clone commandos were produced with enhanced development, allowing them to mature in half the time required by a baseline human. Because of their enhanced development, however, clone commandos had about half the normal lifespan of a human. Of course, that assumed that they survived combat. Records obtained during the war provided several startling statistics, among them the fact that a few thousand clone commandos accounted for the destruction of billions of battle droids, both on the battlefield and as part of covert sabotage operations at droid factories. Ultimately, it was believed that some 10,000 clone commandos were produced for the GAR. However, more than half of that number were killed during the early stages of the Clone Wars, when the commandos were assigned to inexperienced generals who failed to take full advantage of their training. Over time, many commandos began to overstep their mandates, allowing civilian casualties in order to achieve their goals, despite the mandate of the Jedi Order to minimize such casualties. Many of these clones were returned to Kamino for remedial training. (RCHC, SWI84, RDV)

Clone Flight
This was the name given to the combined fighter pilot forces that were part of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the era of the Clone Wars. (LEV, X3)

Clone Intelligence Unit
This was the name given to any specialized team of clone troopers who were trained as intelligence agents during the height of the Clone Wars. Clone Intelligence Units were dispatched to ferret out information on the Separatists and their leadership, without attracting undue attention. Early in the war, the Clone Intelligence Units were too few to be truly useful, forcing the Republic to rely on the Bothan SpyNet and other intelligence agencies. It was a Clone Intelligence Unit that discovered General Grievous was hiding on Utapau, in the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant. As a general rule, most other clone troopers regarded the Clone Intelligence Units as inept, providing just enough intel on a situation to get another unit into trouble. (IS3, RCTZ, CWWS)

Clone Keepers
The name given to the scientists and functionaries working in the reborn Emperor Palpatine's cloning installation on Byss. (DE1)

Clone Marshal Commander
This was the rank given to those clone commanders who worked side-by-side with a Jedi General to command an Army Corps, during the height of the Clone Wars. (SWI84)

Clone Savings Bank
This was a sarcastic term used by clone commando Jaing to describe the amassed billions of credits he skimmed from the bank accounts of beings across the galaxy, in preparation for Kal Skirata's plans to leave military service and set up a home for clone troopers on Mandalore. Jaing created a computer program that took a single credit from every bank account he could access and deposited it into his own secret account, hoping that the average citizen would not argue about the difference of a single credit in their account. In the end, Jaing managed to skim just over a trillion credits for his secret account. (RC66)

Clone SCUBA Trooper
This was the designation of those clone troopers who served the Army of the Republic on aquatic or oceanic battlefronts. The standard twenty-piece suit of body armor worn by a clone trooper was modified to protect the trooper from the water, and was created from a lightweight plastoid-alloy composite that reduced drag while submerged. The helmet of the SCUBA trooper was also modified, with a pair of scrubber units which could extract oxygen from the water. A specialized propulsion pack was worn on the back, allowing the trooper to move and maneuver underwater. Additionally, water-resistant weapons were developed for these units. (SWDB, CWC1)

Clone Trooper
This was the term used to describe the clones of Jango Fett, which were developed by the Kaminoans for Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, and which made up the soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic. Whatever their original mission, the clones were first used in the Battle of Geonosis, to create the Army of the Republic and augment the forces of the Jedi Knights in combating Count Dooku and his droid armies. The clone troopers were the forerunners of the Imperial stormtrooper, wearing a twenty-piece set of white body armor modeled after the armor of the Mandalorian Shocktroopers. The original design of this armor was done by the Kaminoans, who did not account for the human body's ability to sit. Thus, clone troopers had to stand most of the time, for sitting was uncomfortable. Because they were all identical in appearance, clone troopers learned how to read individuals by slight differences in facial and behavioral quirks.

These 1.78-meter-tall clones were growth-accelerated to mature twice as fast as a normal human, and were genetically altered to be strong, loyal, and obedient. Note that, in the second season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Captain Rex indicates that clone troopers swore an oath to serve the Republic. The genome used to create the clone troopers developed by Ko Sai, from cells that were provided by Jango Fett, who later oversaw the training of the clones. The Kaminoan cloning facility was able to produce these clones rapidly and with high quality, with a success rate of 193 viable clones out of each batch of 200. The remaining seven could often be reconditioned, and the defects were researched and bred out of future generations. Each clone trooper's identification number was coded into his DNA, allowing for specific individuals to be identified, if needed. A chip implanted in their neck provided additional identification information. Although every clone was given a unique identification number, many clones chose to take on a single name to help identify themselves. Several clones believed that the leaders of the GAR allowed them to choose names to make it easier to identify individual clones, although this was often difficult when in battle. To further differentiate each other, clones painted their battle armor, added tattoos to their skin, and took on different hair colors and style.

The use of clone troopers produced an unexpected benefit on the combat field, in that their similar genome allowed for the development of specific treatments which could be carried in quantity and used without fear of allergy. The consistent training routines and utter loyalty and dedication of the clone troopers allowed Republic commanders to plan strategies ahead of time, since they could always count on the actions of their troopers. Another benefit to having cloned soldiers was during medical procedures, especially those with near-fatal injuries. Skin and organs could be grown from the Jango Fett DNA, ensuring that there was no rejection of implanted or replaced body parts. Additionally, because the clones were nearly identical internally as well as externally, there was little variation to the size and location of muscles, blood vessels, and other parts. This allowed surgeons to simply repair a trooper's body without having to worry about minute variations.

Because of their enhanced development and genetic manipulation by the Kaminoans, clone troopers had about half the normal lifespan of a human, assuming that they survived combat. The first batches of clone troopers were trained by Jango Fett and his Cuy'val Dar, although non-Mandalorians were later brought in to make training more efficient. However, the non-Mandalorian instructors lacked the military experience and discipline of their counterparts, and it was believed that fewer than 1,000 of the 25,000 clones trained by the non-Mandalorians survived to the end of the war. Regardless of their instructors, clone troopers proved to be invaluable resources during the struggle on Geonosis, fearlessly attacking the droid armies of the Trade Federation and the Geonosians and eventually overtaking them to win the battle for the Republic. The fact that the clone troopers were humans, and not mindless droids, allowed them to operate for brief periods of autonomy, especially when a commanding officer was wounded or killed. At the height of the Clone Wars, Republic records indicated that the average clone trooper was accounting for the destruction of over 200 battle droids. However, that number was countered by the fact that, for every 10,000 clone troopers sent into battle, only about 5,000 came back. These kinds of estimates conflicted with the Galactic Senate's propaganda messages that indicated there were billions of battle droids being produced for the Confederacy of Independent Systems,and that the Republic's forces were winning the war.

The white helmets of the initial, Phase One clone troopers were striped with colors to indicate a trooper's rank above the standard military soldier: yellow for Commanders, red for Captains, blue for Lieutenants, and green for Sergeants. Note that Star Wars: Episode II - Incredible Cross-Sections indicates that the colors represented roles instead of rank: yellow indicated aircrew officers, blue indicated military police, and red indicated infantry officers. For small groups that were assigned to a particular Jedi General, clone armor was colored to identify the Jedi they served. This meant that certain clone troopers had armor of various colors, making them obvious among other clones. Many clone troopers and commandos became fast friends with their Jedi Generals, and it was common for a Jedi to greet a friend with the phrase, "The voice was familiar…", to which the clone would respond "The face even more so."

As the fighting ground on, many clones came to the realization that there might not be a future for them beyond the war. The Galactic Senate had not set aside any provisions for pensions or other benefits for surviving clones, and the only clone-specific medical corporations were only producing enough to keep viable clones alive and fighting. While the rank-and-file clone trooper often did not live long enough to question their superiors, many of the first clones produced - the Null-class troopers and the ARC Troopers among them - began to openly question the situation. Some ARC Troopers even defected from their service to the GAR, and set out to establish their own lives. Aside from the speeches of Senator Den Skeenah of Chandrila, very few members of the civilian population of the galaxy knew or cared about clone welfare. Early in the war, casualty rates were quite high as the clones and their Jedi leaders adjusted to each other. As the war continued, relationships formed and the GAR began to work with more precision and fewer casualties, and the question of clone care seemed to lose its urgency with most beings.

In the wake of the so-called Jedi Rebellion, Imperial propaganda correctly claimed that the Jedi Order had ordered the creation of the clones. However, claims were made that the Jedi had the clones created with short lifespans, so that they would be unable to rebel against the Jedi Order, once it took control of the galaxy from the Senate. Records discovered years later also revealed that the three million or so clone troopers that were delivered to the GAR were not the only Jango Fett clones that were created by the Kaminoans. When he learned that Chancellor Palpatine had been developing another clone army on Centax 2, Prime Minister Lama Su revealed that other combat-ready Fett clones were still being kept on Kamino. (VD2, E2, X2, SWI61, SWDB, OWS, TCD, MBS, SWI84, RDV, RCTC, RC66, CWTV14, CWNOP, CWTV32)

Clone Turbo Tank
This was another name used to describe the HAVw A6 Juggernaut. (SWDB)

Clone Wars
This was the name given by historians to the series of major battles which occurred during the last years of the Old Republic, in which the Jedi Knights worked with the armed forces of the Republic to repel the Separatist threat. The opening conflict of the Clone Wars was generally considered to be the Battle of Geonosis, in which the first cloned warriors developed on Kamino were used to augment the task force of Jedi Knights dispatched to Geonosis to combat the droid armies of Count Dooku. The Clone Wars spanned about three years in galactic history, and rapidly spread throughout the galaxy after the Battle of Geonosis. However, some historians - especially those among the Jedi Order of the time - felt that the Clone Wars some ten years before the Battle of Geonosis, when the Sith Lord Darth Sidious put his plans in motion to bring down the Galactic Republic.

Ostensibly, the droid armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems - known as the Separatists because they broke away from the Old Republic - were pitted against the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic. The Separatists were led by Count Dooku, a former Jedi Knight who left the Jedi Order. His commanders were culled from the ranks of Dark Jedi and many criminal elements. The Old Republic's forces were led by the Jedi Knights, who were forced into positions of military command after Yoda commandeered the first clone troopers to participate in the Battle of Geonosis.

As the war ground on, many beings within the Republic wondered whether the Jedi Knights were capable of winning the war. Many Jedi fell during the early stages of the fighting, nearly 200 of them at Geonosis. Thousands more died over the next thirty-six months. In the eyes of many, the Jedi were no longer the invincible warriors of light they had once been, nor were they the calm force of reason many believed them to be. This perception of the Jedi as military commanders driven to end the war, coupled with the propaganda spread by Dooku and the Separatists, left the Jedi Order in poor standing throughout the conflict. Even the more advanced clone troopers questioned how the Jedi could command the clones in battle, when they were supposedly committed to protecting life. Some members of the Jedi Order also questioned the war, and a handful of beings wondered how Master Yoda had come to call the conflict the Clone Wars, rather than focusing on individual battles.

The penultimate battle took place over Coruscant itself, after General Grievous was able to capture Chancellor Palpatine. Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were the only Jedi able to infiltrate the Separatist flagship and defeat Count Dooku, rescuing Palpatine in the process and putting an end to the fighting around Coruscant. General Grievous managed to escape to Utapau, giving the surviving Separatist forces reason to continue fighting. The Outer Rim Sieges dragged on for several weeks, as the Grand Army of the Republic was forced to put out small fires while searching for Grievous. It was during the Battle of Utapau, where Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi finally defeated General Grievous, that the fighting of the Clone Wars came to an end.

Ultimately, both sides of the conflict failed to realize that the Clone Wars were staged for a single purpose: to allow Darth Sidious to assume control of the galaxy. Much of the fighting was done on the terms of the Sith, with Sidious ordering the Confederacy to produce just enough battle droids to maintain parity with the Grand Army of the Republic. In this way, Sidious drained the bank accounts of the Council of Separatists while ensuring that the Republic never truly achieved a victory, thereby pushing both sides of the conflict to the brink of destruction. With the turning of Anakin Skywalker to the Dark Side, Darth Sidious was able to eliminate the Jedi Order and the Confederacy, ending the Clone Wars and initiating the era of the New Order. Historians later understood that the Clone Wars had been little more than an elaborate trab set by Darth Sidious to ensnare the Jedi Order with its own duty to the Old Republic, then eliminate it by spreading it too thin. (E4, E2, E2N, OWS, LEV, IS3, VD3, E3N, RCTC, LLOW)

Clonemaster
This was the title used by Chancellor Palpatine to describe the lead scientists who operated the cloning facilities on Centax 2, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. (RC66)

Clongor
This wise Skakoan was the leader of the group that controlled the Power Mounds of the Elders, during the final years of the Old Republic. (VIS)

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

Cloppen
This name, which meant "big feet", was common among Gungan males. (GCG)

Clorr
This man was one of the many prisoners who were working in the spice mines of Kessel at the time Han Solo and Chewie were shot down while on a diplomatic mission to the planet, a few years after the Battle of Bilbringi. Clorr was killed by one of the spice mines' denizens while working with Han and Chewie in a deep mine. (JS)

Close-Shave
This was the nickname used by one of the clone troopers who accompanied Jedi Master Ring-Sol Ambase to the planet Kynachi, during the height of the Clone Wars, to investigate the appearance of KynachTech Industries circuitry aboard the Separatist warship Malevolence. When their ship arrived at Kynachi, it was ambushed by Separatist forces, and the crew was forced to abandon their cruiser. Close-Shave was one of the clone troopers who got into an escape pod with Master Ambase, although the pod's location was lost in the chaos. Their pod crashed into the surface of Kynachi, and although the clones were largely unharmed, Master Ambase was knocked unconscious and had to be carrier to their rendezvous point. Unfortunately, Master Ambase and the clones were located by a Separatist patrol. The clones were taken to the prison facility deep within the KynachTech factory, and were later rescued by the members of the newly-named Breakout Squad. (SM1)

Clothes for Her
This clothing store was located on the Ithorian herdship Bazaar, and catered to the needs of females of all species. Owned by Leww, it was the companion store to Clothes for Him. (GA)

Clothes for Him
This clothing store was located on the Ithorian herdship Bazaar, and catered to the needs of males of all species. Owned by Leww, it was the companion store to Clothes for Her. (GA)

Cloud
This Imperial stormtrooper served as part of the Aurek-Seven unit of the Imperial 501st Legion during the years following the formation of the Imperial Remnant and the signing of a peace treaty between the Empire and the New Republic. When Twister agreed to help free Eickarie prisoners in exchange for Su-mil's help in penetrating the Warlord's fortress on Kariek, he dispatched Cloud to relay their situation to their commanding officer and return with backup forces. He did this with efficient speed and suitable discretion, returning with reinforcements just after Su-mil's deception got them deep into the fortress. However, Cloud was stunned when Twister refused to begin the attack on the Warlord before freeing a group of Eickarie prisoners in the lower dungeons. Like his companions Grappler, Watchman, and Shadow, Cloud accompanied Chak Fel on the mission to locate the Outbound Flight Project in Chiss space, some three years before the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy. They took heavy damage when the Vagaari pirates launched their attack, but the unit remained intact throughout the fighting. (FB, SQ)

Cloud
A song written and played by the band Red Shift Limit. It was originally release as part of the compilation Limited Warfare, and had been banned by the Imperial Board of Culture. (GG9)

Cloud Ape
This simian beast was recognizable by the hooting sound it makes when it calls to its companions. (TBH)

Cloud Bridge
This location on the planet Teyr was found on the western end of the Teyr Rift. It was also the last station on the southern spur of the Rift Skyrail. It was one of the narrowest sections of the Rift, and was also one of the most spectacular. (SOL)

Cloud Car
Small, atmospheric craft that were powered by repulsorlifts and ion engines. The best-known cloud cars were the Storm IV twin-pod models built by Bespin Motors. These were the same types of cloud cars used by Lando Calrissian on Cloud City. (E5, SWSB)

Cloud City
A tibanna gas mining colony in orbit over Bespin run by Lando Calrissian during the height of the Galactic Civil War, Cloud City was originally built by Ecclessis Figg and the fledgling Bespin Motors company. Based on the platform of the Floating Hime, it was essentially a huge, saucer-shaped city floating in the Life Zone layer of Bespin's atmosphere, some 60,000 kilometers from the planet's core. The saucer - an incredible sixteen kilometers in diameter - was kept stable via a long repulsorlift unipod which hangs below the saucer. This configuration makes Cloud City seventeen kilometers in overall height. The unipod keeps Cloud City afloat by using 3,6000 repulsorlift engines. There were 392 levels to Cloud City, and a surface-level concourse at its top. The upper levels, denoted as Level 1 through Level 50, were filled with the luxury hotels and casinos which made Cloud City famous. Levels 51-100 were set aside for upscale housing, Levele 101-120 were for administrative offices, and Levels 120-160 housed the infamous Port Town. Levels 161-220 were used for general housing of the facility's workers; Levels 221-280 were used for factories: Levels 281-370 for gas refineries and miners' quarters; and Level 371-392 were filled with the repulsorlift engines and tractor beam generators that kept the city afloat and in position. Its location keeps it out of the mainstream of interplanetary commerce, but that allows it some necessary freedoms. It was known for its productions of tibanna gas, as well as for its casinos and open-air plazas. Due to its small size, in relation to full-scale mining operations, Cloud City was able to remain outside Imperial jurisdiction and separate from the Mining Guild. Lando Calrissian won control of the outpost in a sabacc match, but continued the mining operations and realtive anonymity of the station. Note that Galaxy of Fear 4: The Nightmare Machine claims that Lando won it shortly after the Battle of Yavin. However, when Darth Vader learned that Luke Skywalker might go to the outpost to rescue his friends, the Empire took control of the city. After Luke was able to escape from Vader, Vader left an Imperial garrison there. Grand Admiral Thrawn later used this garrison as a base of operations in his war against the New Republic. The outpost was again freed of Imperial control following Thrawn's defeat, but Cloud City's reputation had been forever tarnished. (E5, HTTE, GG2, EGV, GOF4, SWDB)

This was the tallest mountain peak found on the planet Cularin. The name came from a Tarasin legend which claimed the summit of the mountain was made from clouds, and not rock. At one time during their history, there were twelve tribes of Tarasin living on or near the mountain. Then the mountain revealed its true nature, as a volcano. The clouds which had covered the top of the mountain were made from the steam which formed as condensation contacted hot magma. Cloud Mountain erupted, and the Tarasin tribes were forced to flee the area and unite their forces in order to survive. The remnants of the twelve tribes became the larger Hiironi Irstat over time. After the eruption subsided, Sunburst Mining tried to establish an operation on Cloud Mountain, but the mines dried up before any real profit could be made. Cloud Mountain lay dormant for many generations, until the evil Tarasin female Xinishia used the power of the Dark Side of the Force to make the mountain erupt again. This time, Xinishia directed the flow of lava to destroy a village of Wookiees who had taken up residence near the mountain. (LFC, EOS2, FOC2, FTT)

Cloudflower Wall
This immense wall was built around the city of Eliior, on the planet Romin. The outer side of the Cloudflower Wall was covered with cloudflower vines, ostensibly so that the beings who lived outside the city could have the illusion of living in the wilderness. In reality, the wall was erected by Roy Teda to ensure that the workers of Romin remained outside the city of Eliior, which was a sanctuary for the richest and wealthiest criminals in the galaxy. The vines themselves were actually painted on the wall, to further heighten the illusion of tranquility.

Senator Clovis was believed to have had ties to the Separatists, because of his involvement in the banking delegation within the Senate, as well as video evidence of a meeting between Clovis and Lot Dodd. The Jedi Council hoped that he could provide Republic leaders with evidence that would link the InterGalactic Banking Clan to the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and asked Senator Padme' Amidala to secretly spy on him. Senators Clovis and Amidala had been linked romantically during their early careers, but she had ended their relationship, and Clovis had not taken it well. Thus, she initially refused to take on the mission. However, when Anakin Skywalker showed a jealous streak over her past with Clovis, Senator Amidala took on the mission anyway, volunteering to join him on a diplomatic trip to Cato Neimoidia to recover outstanding dues from the Trade Federation. On Cato Neimoidia, Lot Dodd attempted to take advantage of Senator Clovis's obvious affection for Senator Amidala, and hoped to poison her and force Clovis to accept the demands of the Separatists. Senator Amidala, however, managed to recover a data disk that contained information on the new droid factories on Geonosis, which had been financed by the InterGalactic Banking Clan. She stole the disk and turned it over to Skywalker, who was serving as her bodyguard, hoping that it would provide enough evidence to connect Clovis and the Separatists. Meanwhile, Lott Dod confronted Senator Clovis, claiming that Senator Amidala was nothing but a spy. When he discovered that the data disk was missing, Clovis knew that the Neimoidian had spoken the truth, and he then confronted Senator Amidala. She did not lie about the theft, but the poison she had ingested finally rendered her unconscious. Senator Clovis then demanded that Lott Dod provide the anitdote, holding the Neimoidian at gunpoint until he turned it over. Clovis then demanded that Skywalker turn over the data disk, but the Jedi refused, and Clovis was forced to deal with the Separatists on his own. (CWTV26)

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

His assignment on Kalist VI was marked by a variety of violent outbursts, and his superior officers had warned him several times about his conduct. When Clynn attempted to bully Janek Sunber by trying to claim Sunber's quarters for his own, Clynn found that he had underestimated the other man. Sunber quickly disabled Clynn and threw him to the deck, and would have pressed his advantage if Captain Roshuir hadn't intervened. When he learned that Sunber had survived the attack on Maridun, Clynn suddenly changed his demeanor, and tried to glean any sort of information on the fighting from Sunber. However, Clynn never accepted Sunber as a friend, and refused to back down when Sunber questioned his actions. Thus, when Clynn tried to rape a Jabiimi slave on Kalist VI, Sunber was forced to pull a gun on him to stop him. Clynn relayed the incident to Captain Roshuir, who would have brought Sunber to trial if he hadn't been sent on a mission to Thila. Clynn himself was assigned to Roshuir's task force, and was leading the first units into the remains of the Thila base when they set off a laser tracking system. The resulting explosion incinerated Clynn's stormtroopers and exterminated Clynn before anyone knew what had happened. (SWEWW)

Coalition for Progress
Often referred to simply as Progress, this branch of COMPNOR was in charge of ensuring that there were no impediments to the furthering of Palpatine's Empire. It was founded shortly after the Clone Wars, when the Commission for the Preservation of the Republic was restructured into COMPNOR, and was officially founded to ensure the "purity of Imperial cultural endeavors." In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, Progress became more closely aligned with the efforts of the Imperial Security Bureau, passing along information on suspected rebel activities in the far-flung corners of the galaxy. The Coalition for Progress was led by the Sector Monitors, which kept a watchful eye on key areas of interest that had the highest probability of rebellious activity. Branches of this group monitored the arts, commerce, education, justice systems, and the sciences. (ISB, FOP, SWI84)

Coalition of Automaton Rights Activists
This protest group sprang up during the last century of the Old Republic, as anti-droid sentiments grew throughout the galaxy.

Operating from a single converted Trade Federation LH-3210 battleship, the Coalition set off a series of guerrilla attacks on key Cularin locations, including the floating cities of Genarius. The Coalition found growing support, until it encountered stiff resistance from Cularin forces at Tolea Biqua. In a massive firefight, the Coalition's warship was badly damaged and knocked from orbit.

The Cobral, as they were known, took control of the planet from a morally corrupt government, and for a short time they lowered taxes and provided higher wages for the native Fregans. The Cobral could do this because much of their income was based on the black market sales of drugs and weapons. The Fregans, long oppressed under the previous government, welcomed the Cobral with open arms. The power of the Cobral was almost absolute on Frego, although few of the family's leaders demanded very much. This started to change for the worst after the death of Zanita Cobral's husband, when her son Solan assumed control of the family. Solan was a bully, and made sure everyone knew it. Solan was believed to have murdered his own brother, Rutin, in order to keep Rutin from exposing the illegal activities of the Cobral. He also kidnapped his mother in order to lure Lena Cobral into a trap, but Lena managed to escape with the help of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. When Lena reached Coruscant and testified against the family, the Galactic Senate had the Cobral family removed from power and arrested for their crimes. (TOW)

Bard was loyal to Solan, and was instrumental in the kidnapping of their mother, Zanita, for use as bait in a trap to capture Lena Cobral and Mica. While Mica was killed, Lena managed to escape the trap and travel to Coruscant, where she testifed against the Cobral. Solan and Bard were both arrested, and the family was removed from power. (TOW)

Cobral, Lena
This young woman was the widow of Rutin Cobral, and was a native of the planet Frego. Lena was just a teenager when she married Rutin, and was not yet twenty when he was killed. She agreed to testify during the investigation into Rutin's murder, as well as to provide information on the Cobral family's criminal empire, but had to be escorted to Coruscant by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. She explained to the Jedi that she had not known Rutin was the heir to the Cobral family organization, and that she hoped to complete his quest to expose the Cobral family as criminals. She bravely faced the death of Rutin, as well as that of her cousin Mica, in order to escape from Frego with the Jedi Knights. When they arrived on Coruscant, the trio discovered that Senator Crote of Frego had been involved with the Cobral, and provided evidence against him to the Senate. After the Cobral were arrested for their crimes, Lena agreed to return to Frego and help the transitional government settle into place. Before she could leave, however, Lena was attacked by Zanita Cobral. Zanita had been the true leader of the Cobral family all along, and she held Lena personally responsible for the loss of Rutin and the imprisonment of Solan and Bard. Zanita managed to knock Lena senseless, but was unable to kill her before Obi-Wan interceded. Zanita took her own life, instead of being arrested. (TOW)

Cobral, Rutin
This man, a native of the planet Frego, was a member of the Cobral criminal organization. About fourteen years before the Battle of Naboo, Rutin married his wife, Lena, after decicing that he wanted to get out of the criminal lifestyle. Senator Crote of Frego even hinted that Rutin would have testified against his own family. However, Rutin was murdered three years after his marriage. The only witness to his murder was believed to have been his wife, Lena, who agreed to testify during the investigation of his murder. At the time of his death, Rutin was in line to succeed his father as the leader of the Cobral family, a position which would have made him the nominal leader of the planet. Instead, the leadership of the Cobral family passed to Rutin's older brother, Solan. (TOW)

Cobral, Solan
A native of the planet Frego, this man became the leader of the Cobral family's criminal organization when his father died and his younger brother, Rutin, was murdered, some eleven years before the Battle of Naboo. Solan was distinguished from his brother in that he was completely bald, and had a seemingly permanent scowl on his face. It was known that Solan had become furious when Rutin decided to testify against the Cobral family, despite Rutin's obvious desire to leave the criminal underworld. Solan used the impending betrayal of his brother to solidify his position within the family, and got what he wanted through a combination of shrewd dealings and threats. When he learned that his mother, Zanita, had been secretly meeting with Rutin's widow Lena, Solan arranged for the capture of his own mother, then used her as bait to catch Lena. However, the trap failed, and Lena was able to reach Coruscant and testify against the Cobral. Solan and his brother, Bard, were arrested, and the family was removed from power. (TOW)

Cobral, Zanita
This woman, a native of the planet Frego, was the mother of Rutin and Solan Cobral. She held the family together in the years following the death of her husband, until Solan became the leader of the family after Rutin's murder. Despite her family allegiance, Zanita was also fond of Rutin's wife, Lena. She confided in Lena that she feared Solan had murdered Rutin, in order to keep the family's secrets intact. When Lena agreed to accompany Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi back to Coruscant to testify against the Cobrals, Zanita agreed to provide her with inside information in exchange for anonymity. However, their actions were discovered by Solan, who kidnapped her and used her as bait in a trap to capture Lena. After Lena managed to escape the trap and travel to Coruscant to testify against the Cobral, Zanita followed her. Zanita tried to kill Lena as revenge for the death of Rutin, claiming that it was Lena who made Rutin attempt to bring down the Cobral family. Zanita managed to knock Lena unconscious, and would have killed her had Obi-Wan not interrupted. Rather than face trial for her own actions, Zanita committed suicide by stabbing herself in the chest with a vibroblade. (TOW)

Coburn, Brodie "Cannon"
This fair-haired man was one of the Imperial starfighter pilots who served in Captain Gunn Yage's Skull Squadron, some 137 years after the Battle of Yavin. As a member of Skull Squadron, Cannon and his fellow pilots flew Predator-class starfighters while protecting the planet Coruscant from attack. The Skulls were on duty when Cade Skywalker arrived at Coruscant, on a mission to rescue the captured Jedi, Hosk Trey'lis. Their orders were to take Skywalker alive, as he was wanted by Darth Wyyrlok and Darth Krayt. However, Skywalker's knowledge of Coruscant's underworld, as well as his own skills as a pilot, allowed him to evade capture, much to the chagrin of Captain Yage. (SWLB, SWLC)

Coby
The young son of Lord Toda of Tammuz-an, Coby was a spoiled, nine-year-old prince when R2-D2 and C-3PO encountered him, during the early years of the New Order. The droids and their master, Jann Tosh, had been asked to transport Coby to the Imperial Space Academy. (DCAR)

Cochlera
This jellyfish-like creature was unique in the galaxy, existing only in the energy-wracked atmosphere of the planet Genarius. Although these creatures were hardy enough to survive in the planet's atmosphere, cochlera taken from Genarius rarely survived more than a day in the atmospheres of other gas giants. Many xenobiologists theorized that the cochlera were evolved from species born of a strange mix of gases and nuclear power that only existed on Genarius. They lived in groups of thirty to fifty individuals, known as mulls, and created an unusual light storm as they moved through the atmosphere. The upper body of a cochlera was a transparent sac of roiling fluid and electrical discharges. Hanging from the underside of this sac were six appendages of varying length. These appendages could be used to defend a cochlera, and produced a discharge similar in effect to an ion blaster. To reproduce, cochlera simply perform a type of fission. However, this fission had a number of prerequisites. Among them, the cochlera must be in the presence of a large amount of beskium gas. Second, the cochlera must be part of a small mull. The presence of other members of the species seems to release unusual chemicals that make the fission possible. Beskium itself was not enough; solitary cochlera were observed near large pockets of beskium, and simply absorbed the gas and burst, rather than divide. Other research had shown that cochlera reproduction occurs most often during periods of intense, lower-atmosphere storms. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, it was discovered that the body fluids of a cochlera, when distilled into a pale ichor, provided an immunity to the Force. Illegal hunts, formed by criminal elements who kept the enterprise a secret by planting rumors about the "dangers" of the normally peaceful cochlera, captured live cochlera in order to obtain samples of their body fluids. (LFC, WOTC)

Cockpit Daredevils
A game of skill played in many up-scale cantinas, the player must use his skills to shoot down incoming enemy starfighters. (JHS)

Cockpit Information Display
Known as a CID, this was the primary display system used aboard TIE Fighters and other Imperial fightercraft to provide the pilot with information on shipboard status, enemy disposition, and messaging. (TSC)

CoCo District
This commercial district was one of the many subcities found on the planet Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Shortly before the Clone Wars, the CoCo District experienced a garbage collection crisis which resulted in huge piles of trash being deposited in city streets and in front of major buildings. The name "CoCo" was actually a shortened from the district's full name, the Collective Commerce District. (HNN4, IWE2, LLOW)

CoCo District Constabulary
This was the primary police force working in Coruscant's CoCo District, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN5)

CoCo Penitentiary
This prison facility was located in Coruscant's CoCo District, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN5)

CoCo Town
This was another name for Coruscant's CoCo District. Note that Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Wild Space indicates that CoCo Town was in the Galarb District. (HNN5, CWWS)

Code 1-5
The code signal used by the Alliance for the completion of an evacuation of the Echo Base on Hoth. (E5N)

Code 42
This was the code used by Imperial stormtroopers to indicate to other Imperial agents that they were prepared to enter a building in search of a target. It allowed other agents to report on their positions, and relay any new information to the stormtroopers before they began their attack. (RL)

Code 497.8
This was one of the bylaws of the Old Republic, which forbade an individual from ignoring or diobeying an direct order from the Senate or the Supreme Chancellor. (TCD)

Code 9-13
This was a communications code developed by the Jedi Order during the height of the Clone Wars, although it was hoped that it would never be used. If a Jedi was forced to use Code 9-13, it meant that they had been betrayed by their clone troopers and needed to be rescued. Whether because of some intuition or simply because of thorough planning, Code 9-13 became necessary after Chancellor Palpatine revealed himself to be Darth Sidious, and ordered the extermination of the Jedi Order. Both Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi were forced to use Code 9-13, which allowed them to be rescued by Bail Organa aboard the Tantive IV. (IS3, VD3)

Code Aurek
This was one of the highest alert levels defined by the Grand Army of the Republic. A Code Aurek alert was issued whenever an installation's security had been, or was probably, compormised, and all personnel were required to assist with closing the security breach. (CWOC1)

Code Black
This was a code phrase used by Han Solo and Chewbacca to indicate when it was time to abandon their ship, the Millennium Falcon. The use of the Code Black was reserved for those situations where they had been boarded by unwanted guests, and it would be easier to fight back if they were able to leave the ship and find another solution. In its simplest form, Code Black meant "drop everything and run like hell". (LSSM)

Code Black Hole
This was the term used to describe an addendum to the transponder codes that were used by pirates and privateer. Most pirate ships had two sets of transponder identification codes. The first set was used during regular space flight, and identified the pirate ship as an "innocent" vessel, like a transport or freighter. During an ambush or other attack, the pirates could swap out these innocent codes for another set of codes that identified them as a different ship. Many self-absorbed pirate captains added their aliases to these pirate codes as a kind of calling card, hoping to gain fame and attention by identifying themselves as the culprits. Until their reputation could be established, or if the pirates wanted to scare the target into submission, the pirates could attach a "code black hole" to their transponder signal. This code black hole clearly identified the attacking ship as a pirate vessel, and made it clear that the target would be better served to simply surrender. (SWJ2, OWS)

Code Clearance Blue
This was the security code phrase for the deactivation of the shield generator protecting the second Death Star near Endor. (E6N, E6Y)

Code Cylinder
This was a civilian form of a rank cylinder, containing security information about the individual who carried it. (FR)

Code Five
This was one of the many contingency plan identifiers used by the Grand Army of the Republic. The issuance of a Code Five directive required all personnel to return immediately to Coruscant, regardless of their current deployment status, in order to defend the capital planet from attack. A Code Five was issued for all troops in the Inner Rim during the final days of the Clone Wars, when General Grievous launched his attack on Coruscant, in an attempt to capture Chancellor Palpatine. (RC66)

Code Force Seven
The code phrase used by Lando Calrissian to indicate to Lobot that he was in trouble and needed assistance. Calrissian used Code Force Seven to escape Imperial custody and attempt to recover Han Solo from the bounty hunter, Boba Fett. (MC44, EGC)

Code Fourteen
This signal was used by Jedi Master Yoda to alert the other Jedi Masters of trouble in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. (UP)

Code Grave
This Alliance signal indicated that a mission was to be aborted. (CSWEA)

Code Jamdahr
This was the code signal used by Azlyn Rae to alert the Imperial Knights that Cade Skywalker had arrived at the Rawk's Nest on Iego, some seven years after the Massacre at Ossus. The code signal was based on her bounty hunter alias, Jamdahr. (SWLL)

Code of the Claim
This was a method of settling a claim dispute between two independent scouts who register the same claim. If any other scouts come forward to claim the same planet - legally or by jumping a claim - before the credit had been paid and the claim established, then each scout must agree to a Mutual Claim Registration and split the reward. Although not the fairest solution, it was often the only solution when two parties claim the same planet. (GG8)

Code of the Sith
This was the basic set of tenets adopted by the Sith, during the centuries leading up to the Great Sith War. In many respects, the Code of the Sith was similar to the Jedi Code, although historians were unsure as to which came first. The Code of the Sith went as follows: "Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion I gain strength. Through strength I gain power. Through power I gain victory. Through victory my chains were broken." Many scholars among the Jedi Order found it interesting that, according to the Code of the Sith, the need for victory was not all-encompassing. Many Sith Lords of the era believed that victory at any cost was not a victory at all, since it often meant the loss of a Dark Jedi in the process. This would reduce their numbers, making it harder to combat the Jedi Knights. Thus, many Sith apprentices were taught leave a fight, or avoid it all together, in order to preserve their ranks. (KOTOR, DBPD, DBRT)

Code of the Stars
This was an old-fashioned spacer's code of ethics which involved the use of floggings, spacings, and harsh discipline to keep a crew in line and prevent mutinies. (OE)

Code Quasar
This transmission signal was generated by the Alliance, and provided to those pirate and privateer vessels who were working for the Alliance, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The Code Quasar signal, when verified against the active database of independent ships working for the Alliance, provided a measure of security and autonomy whenever a marauding vessel was encountered near Alliance-held space. Note that the Star Wars Adventure Journal, Issue 2 indicates that this signal was a modified version of the Code Black Hole signal, and assured that the passengers aboard a ship under attack would receive just treatment upon surrender. (PP, SWJ2, OWS)

Code Scrambler
This was a type of communications technology that altered the transmit and receive codes of the user's location. Every communication provided specific codes as to the location of each party, and a code scrambler could make it appear as if the user were transmitting from a different location. (RCTC)

Code Silver
This was the priority signal Darth Vader gave to the troops searching for Luke Skywalker. If any troops discovered Luke's exact location, they were ordered to send Vader a Code Silver transmission with the information. (VQ)

Code Three Recall
This was a general code used by the New Republic to recall military personnel from rest-and-relaxation to active duty. (XWMR)

Code White
This alert was issued by the staff of the Q'Maere Research Facility, in the event that a rowdy patient needed to be detained by any on-duty personnel. (KR)

Code, The
This was the unspoken, unwritten pact made by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, under which a trooper was to remain steadfastly loyal to the Old Republic, no matter what the circumstances. To betray one's comrades to the enemy was considered a serious breech of the Code, and no trooper ever willingly betrayed the Code. (TCD)

Codec
This was the designation of a group of Imperial L-class container ships used to supply the Bretie production facility during the Galactic Civil War. (XWA)

Codejob
This was a sarcastic nickname used by Han Solo to describe C-3PO, during the years that followed the Second Galactic Civil War. (FJ3)

Codex
This form of DarkStryder technology was discovered by the crew of the FarStar, hidden inside an unusual alien construct deep in the Kathol Rift. In shape, the Codex was a small pyramid with a metallic surface. It was light in weight, and could be damaged by rough handling or by being dropped. Originally created to detect and quantify the Force, it also enhanced the Force-sensitivity of its user. About four years after the Battle of Endor, the Aing-Tii Monks became very interested in obtaining the Codex, and trained Makezh to navigate the Rift in order to find it. They considered the alien construct and the Codex itself to be sacred and untouchable to themselves, but Makezh was immune to their religious beliefs. He did manage to locate the Codex on the world known as Demonsgate, and the Aing-Tii took the artifact as well as Makezh himself for further study. The Codex was placed in the Embrace along with the other Relics that the Aing-Tii had amassed during their history, and remained there for many years until Luke and Ben Skywalker arrived in the Kathol Rift on a mission to learn more about Jacen Solo. The Aing-Tii allowed Luke and Ben to investigate the Relics, hoping that they would be able to discern the will of Those Who Dwell Beyond the Veil. Luke picked up the Codex and held it in his hands, but the sudden increase in his connection to the Force nearly knocked Luke unconscious. Luke understood that the Codex was not connected to the Dark Side of the Force, but the experience of increased power made him feel vulnerable as well as powerful. During the brief time he held the Codex, Luke also sensed a growing darkness in the galaxy that was eminating from the Maw cluster of black holes. According to Luke, the presence in the Maw felt wrong and out of harmony with the rest of the galaxy. The brief connection to the Force also projected Luke's presence across the galaxy, where it affected Lady Olaris Rhea and the other Sith aboard the cruiser Eternal Crusader. (KR, E, WOTC, FJ2, FJ3)

Codex
This ancient Jedi artifact was created by the Cthol race. Resembling a small, metallic pyramid, the Codex was designed to measure and manipulate the Force. It was a dull gold color, and was covered with mystic engravings and small crystal-studded patterns. When used by a properly trained Jedi, the Codex glows slightly and hums. Among its many uses, the Codex can locate disturbances in the Force. It can also augment a Jedi's ability to call upon and use the Force. Continued use of the Codex makes the user susceptible to the Dark Side of the Force. When used, however, the Codex sends tremendous shock waves throught the Force. This was what first attracted the Dark Jedi Halbret to it. When it was later found by Pann, the Codex had become brittle and easily damaged. (GMH)

Codex of Karness Muur
This was the title used by Naga Sadow to describe the collected writings and teachings of Karness Muur. Included in the Codex of Karness Muur were descriptions of the Muur Talisman, its creation, and its uses. The collection also contained descriptions of Karness Muur's experiences on the battlefield, as he tested the talisman and its effects on other beings. Muur described the clashing of two armies as a meeting of negatives, with the enslaved forces of Sith spreading the plague and cancelling out the forces of the other army, until only his mind remained victorious. (KORV)

Codex, The
This unpublished book contained all the arcane lore and information collected by Brin Hesk'l, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (LFCW)

Codian Moon
This moon, covered by rolling plains of wood-moss turf, was known for the ranches where reeks were bred. (VD2, SWDB)

Codoran
This valuable metal was often used in jewelry. (SOP)

Codru Bat
This was another name for the tappratine. (CS, EGP)

Codruese
This was the spoken language of the Codru-Ji, which consisted of a complex vocaublary punctuated by snarls, barks, and other canine noises. (UANT)

Codru-Ji
Intelligent, humanoid natives of Munto Codru, the bipedal Codru-Ji race was characterized by their four arms. When immature, the Codru-Ji take the form of a wyrwulf. This was a pupal stage for the Cordu-Ji, and they sleep in a prone position (as most dogs do). The wyrwulf form can communicate through a series of barks and grunts. When the being was of sufficient age, the wyrwulf form cocoons itself, and then metamorphs into a full-grown adult Codru-Ji. The adults must sleep upright, due to the changes brought about by the formation of their four arms. Special slings were developed to support the slumbering adults. The form of the Codru-Ji communicates in a complex series of high-pitched whistles and sighs, although they were also able to speak in the low-range sounds of most humanoid races. They were known for their political intrigues, abductions, and coups. They seem unable to operate in a simple political environment, instead choosing to convolute their politics with various familiar affiliations. They were also recognized as the best kidnappers in the galaxy, and have established a code of ethics for the kidnap and ransom of political opponents. (CS)

Codru-Ji Sword Dancer
The Codru-Ji were renowned for this form of entertainment, using their multiple arms to juggle several swords while executing a complex dance. (EVR)

Cody
This man was one of the many clone troopers of the Army of the Republic to be given enhanced training and autonomy of an ARC Trooper, which made him a valuable resource during the Clone Wars. However, he wasn't genetically an ARC Trooper, which made him much more like Jango Fett than other ARC Troopers. Holding the rank of Commander, Cody - officially known as CC-2224 or Commander 2224 - was one of the few clone leaders who was not a survivor of the Battle of Geonosis. At the height of the Clon Wars, Commander Cody led the 212th Attack Battalion, and worked with Obi-Wan Kenobi during the last months of the Clone Wars, on planets such as Cato Neimoidia. Prior to Cato Neimoidia, Cody had survived missions on dozens of other worlds, another testament to his training and abilities.

The relationship between Obi-Wan and Cody bordered on comfortable friendship, as Cody often referred to Kenobi simply as "Boss." During a mission to rescue Jedi Master Eeth Koth from General Grievous at Saleucami, Cody and his clones physically attacked Grievous, hoping to prevent his escape. The droid General proved too strong for them and was able to escape, but the efforts of the clones gave Kenobi and the other Jedi an opportunity to make their own way to safety. Cody and Kenobi were dispatched on one final mission following the First Battle of Coruscant, to hunt down General Grievous on the remote world of Utapau. During the fighting, Cody recovered Obi-Wan's lightsaber, and returned it to him after Grievous was destroyed. Unknown to Kenobi, however, Cody had been given a secret mission by Darth Sidious himself. After the death of Mace Windu and several other Jedi Masters, Sidious relayed Order 66 to clone commanders across the galaxy. After hearing the order, Cody ordered his troops to stop firing on Separatist battle droids and concentrate their fire on Obi-Wan. Cody briefly wondered at the poor timing of the order, since he had already returned Kenobi's lightsaber, making him a much harder target to eliminate. (SWI73, E3, SWDB, LEV, IS3, E3N, SWDB, CWVG, CWTV27, CWTV31)

Cody, Zahara
This woman served as the chief medical officer aboard the Imperial Prison Barge Purge, more than a year before the Battle of Yavin. The daughter of a family of wealthy financeers, Cody lived a pampered life that gave her every opportunity that credits could buy. She decided to train to become a doctor, and although her famly considered it an indulgence to send her to the Rhinnal State Medical Academy, Cody came to take a deeper interest in medicine. Part of her motivation stemmed from a romantic relationship she had with a older surgeon who showed her that the best medical care should not be reserved for the wealthy and powerful. Upon graduation, she tried to join one of the many relief groups that worked with poor and troubled worlds, but she lacked any real-world experience. In order to do anything that she could, and against the wishes of her family, Cody decided to take the job aboard the Purge. Although she was one of the few females aboard the ship, Doctor Cody found herself shunned by her peers because she was not an enlisted officer, but a civilian doctor who was forced to serve aboard the Imperial vessel. This suited her just fine, and she spent much of her free time training the 2-1B droid known as Waste to serve as a capable replacement, in case she was injured or unable to perform her duties.

After watching Von Longo die, probably at the hands of Jareth Sartoris, Cody decided that she had had enough, and was planning to finish her commitment to the Empire and return to her family on Corellia. Two weeks later, though, the ship experienced problems with its primary thrusters, and was stranded in the Unknown Regions. Several of the crew that returned from a derelict vessel to obtain parts experienced strange illnesses, and Cody watched as many of them died within hours. The contagion spread rapidly through the ship's population, and Cody and Waste were unable to keep up with the flow of patients in the infirmary. It was Waste who discovered that the strange affliction seemed to only attack a new host after it had infected the host and reproduced in sufficient numbers that the host was unable to counteract its presence. However, a few of the crew members appeared to be resistant to the infection, prompting Cody to order Waste to test her own blood for signs of infection. With Waste's help, she was able to analyze the blood of several victims and identify a potential anti-virus. With the knowledge that she was safe for the moment, Cody made her way to the bridge, where she performed a bioscan of the ship, which showed her that there were only six beings still alive.

In addition to Cody herself, the survivors included Han Solo and his Wookiee companion, Chewbacca, and Trig and Kale Longo. She demanded that she give the anti-virus to them both, but while Solo seemed unaffected, Chewbacca's Wookiee physiology reacted as if it had contracted the strange infection. Cody was forced to use a syringe to pierce the Wookiee's throat before it burst open, drawing out vial after vial of grayish-pink fluid until the Wookiee adjusted to the presence of the anti-virus. This episode gave Cody the knowledge that the contagion was replicating itself within its host, anticipating being spread to a new host. With this new knowledge, she and the others returned to the infirmary, where she discovered that Waste had been ripped to pieces. The droid tried to explain that the dead bodies in the infirmary had come back to life, and were feeding on any organic tissue they found. Cody could not comprehend what was happening until Kale Longo was injured by one of the re-animated corpses. Kale explained that the wound did not hurt, but he could feel the contagion reproducing and moving into his body. Despite the severity of his wound, Kale removed the bandages Cody had applied, and she saw that Kale was indeed right. The contagion rapidly spread from the wound, moving up Kale's leg with a strange determination. Forced into action, Cody cut open Kale's abdomen and began to extract any contaminated flesh, hoping to remove every bit of the contagion from his body.

Knowing that the Purge was stranded, Solo and Chewbacca decided the the group needed to get to the Star Destroyer and find another way to escape. Cody took Kale's body and tried to carry him to safety, but they were attacked by a group of re-animated beings who had found several blaster weapons. One fire caught Kale in the skull, killing him instantly. To preserve her own life, Cody had to leave Kale's body behind and run for her life. Once aboard the derelict Star Destroyer, Cody discovered an operating 2-1B droid within Bio-Lab 242. This droid, which bore a striking resemblance to Waste, explained to her what had been going on aboard the Star Destroyer, as part of the Blackwing operation. She realized that the corpses were connected to each other in a form of quorum sensing, but she also learned that the corpses could only function if they were close enough to a large concentration of the pure contagion. Thus, the corpses were quite active aboard the Star Destroyer and any ships in its vicinity, but any corpses that tried to spread beyond their location in space soon stooped functioning. The contagion began to deteriorate, and the re-animated corpses soon died a final death.

Cody was nearly killed when she was trapped in the Star Destroyer's hangar control room, but her distress call was answered by a young man named White. They made their way back to the shuttle, but an explosion caused a huge piece of machinery to fall into their path. White was able to push Cody out of the way, but was crushed by the machinery. As he died, White explained that a stranger had helped to save his life, and he was simply repaying the favor. Cody was eventually able to locate Solo, Chewbacca, and Trig Longo, and they made their escape from the Star Destroyer aboard the shuttle where White and his companions had hid. Trig and Cody remained together, and traveled to various worlds to deliver the final messages from crew members that Cody had found aboard the Purge. (SWDT)

Coelle
This Togorian worked with Theol Dunoche during the Galactic Civil War. (ND)

Coen
This CR90 corvette was owned by the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. (XWA)

Coercion
This Imperial Star Destroyer was under the command of General Klime, who used it to patrol and control the Ishanna System and sevreal surrounding systems. (SWJ9)

Coffeine
This strong, hot, stimulating beverage was similar to caf. (LCM)

Cofferdam
This tube was used to connect two starships whose airlocks were not of the same configuration. One ship extends the cofferdam, which was a flexible, ribbed tube, toward the other. It was rigidly mounted to the first ship, and had a number of ways to connect to the second ship. It can use chemical, mechanical, magnetic, or negative pressure to create a seal. (BTS)

Coffey
This Nharwaak CR90 corvette was one of the ships that were used to try and delivery new hyperdrive technology to the Alliance, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. (TIE, TIEP)

Coffin Jockey
This was a term used by ground-based Imperial personnel to describe the early pilots of TIE Fighters. The term stemmed from the fact that most TIE Fighters lacked any sort of life-support system, so a pilot who was shot down or had his ship damaged often died before any rescue could be launched. The high mortality rates of these early pilots was staggering, earning future pilots the nickname of coffin jockeys. (SWDT)

Cofi, Kaloor
This Jedi Knight was killed on Atzerri, during a mission to free Nathanjo Nirrelz from a band of Roshu Sune terrorists. (HNN5)

Cogennan
This was one of the sub-species of the Nothoiin race, distinguished by their innate abilities for piloting and navigation. (WOA33)

Cognition Hood
This Yuuzhan Vong creation allowed a starship captain or pilot to communicate directly with his ship, thereby making every order or command an instantaneous action. The cognition hood was connected to a starship by a modified creeper, and was worn over the head and shoulders of a pilot. A cognition hood was not sentient, and could not tell the difference between any two individuals, nor between races. It simply acted as a conduit for communication between the pilot and their ship. Data from the ship was realyed to the pilot in the Yuuzhan Vong language, and the pilot can issue orders or commands by speaking into the hood. Additionally, the cognition hood served as a form of flight recorder, capturing the pilot's thoughts and memories in much the same way it collected data from the ship. These captured memories could later be used in debriefing a pilot. (DTR, EVC, NEGW)

Cognition Throne
Similar in function to a cognition hood, the cognition throne was used by the Warmaster Tsavong Lah to monitor the progress of the invasion of the galaxy. It allowed the Warmaster to control his forces with his mind, much like a warship navigator controlled their ship with the hood. Located in the Glory Room of the Sunulok, the cognition throne looked out over a vast diorama of the galaxy, created with blaze bugs indicating the position of thousands of warships. About the size of a landspeeder, the cognition throne could move about the Glory Room on a set of six squat legs, allowing the Warmaster to view the diorama from any angle or perspective. (SBS)

Cognitive Matrix Package
This droid brain component was often used in MD-0 droids to allow them to analyze a patient's brain activity to determine sanity. It can also be used to modify a patient's brain activity through psychiatric analysis. (KT)

Cognitive Module
This droid component was required to give a droid the ability to think and reason for itself. The cognitive module was often referred to as a droid brain. (TGD)

Cognus, Darth
Little was known about this Sith Lord, who succeeded Darth Bane and Darth Zannah to become the master of the Sith, in the wake of the New Sith Wars. Many historians believed that Darth Congus was one of the few survivors of the Battle of Ruusan, and supported the Rule of Two as defined by Darth Bane. Her apprentice, Darth Millennial, disagreed with the Rule of Two, and left Darth Cognus behind to create his own order of Sith devotees. (OWS, EGF)

Cohasset Rover
This was the name of Stellskard's personal starship, an unusual vessel that had its cockpit mounted on an outboard fin, separated from the main cargo area. (SWGG)

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

This Neimoidian word meant "lawyer" when translated into Basic. (GPB)

Coil, The
This ancient, S-shaped riverbed wound through the desert near Ben's Mesa, on Tatooine. (IWE1)

Coiled Juggernaut
This was one of the names used by the New Republic to describe Tu-Scart, the Beater created by the Yuuzhan Vong to destroy structures that were in the path of the Yuuzhan Vong army. Note that the Balance Point claims that Tu-Scart was the Biter. (WOTC)

Coiling Tack
This was the specialized form of harness used by the Swokes Swokes to control their domesticated schinga mounts. In addition to the bridle, reins, and intricately decorated saddle, the coiling tack included an electrpole for prodding the schingas to obey their rider's orders. (WOTC, GORW)

Coilwood
This shrub, native to the planet Vryssa, grows in dense groupings. (TFNR)

Coin-crab
This small crustacean was native to the coastlines of the planet Taris. During the years following the galaxy's war against the Yuuzhan Vong, coin-crabs became a delicacy among the inhabitants of the Upper City. They were fried in small batches and served as appetizers at many restaurants and bars. (LF2)

Cojahn
This former smuggler worked with Lando Calrissian to realize their dreams of owning an amusement park. The result of their work was the SkyCenter Galleria on Cloud City. Cojahn hoped to expand the Galleria to other locations across the galaxy, in hopes of supporting his wife and two daughters. However, when Black Sun tried to take control of the Galleria, Cojahn refused to give in and was killed by Czethros himself. It was meant to look like he accidentally fell from a balcony, but Lando refused to believe it. (TCC)

This archaic name was given to female Zabrak, although its original meaning was lost over time. (GCG)

Col, Yurf
This Duros served as a Commander in the New Republic military, and served under General Wedge Antilles during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. After the Battle of Duro, Yurf Col and many of his fellow Duros could barely contain their desire to return and liberate their homeworld. Col believed that his chance had come when Antilles ordered a task force to be dispatched to Duro. Unknown to Col, however, was that the mission was simply a feint, meant to draw in as many Yuuzhan Vong warships as possible. Once the enemy ships were in-system, New Republic interdictors would trap them there and destroy them. A secondary plan involved the reduction of Yuuzhan Vong forces at Fondor, allowing the Republic to retake the planet. Although Antilles feared that Col and the Duros might be too emotionally involved in the fight, he still hoped Col could be counted on to obey orders. Yurf Col, however, refused to simply sit back and watch his forces whittled away while more and more Yuuzhan Vong warships entered the arena. Col, furious with Antilles' seeming unconcern about the fate of the Duro System, resigned his commission. Col's forces, including his own ship Dpso and several Duros-commanded warships, tried to break ranks and attack the aliens themselves. However, without the support of the rest of the New Republic fleet, all the Duros ships were destroyed by Yuuzhan Vong forces. (FP)

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

Colbon, Chanty
This con artist and swindler bought passage on luxury starships, such as the Kuari Princess, and charmed the rich passengers out of a great deal of their money. Chanty was aboard the Kuari Princess when it was attacked by the Riders of the Maelstrom. (RM)

Colclazure
An Imperial Ensign serving Captain Pellaeon on the Chimaera, Colclazure was Cris Pieterson's commanding officer. When Pieterson lost control of Luke Skywalker's X-Wing, some five years after the Battle of Endor, Colclazure explained to Grand Admiral Thrawn that the operator's training had not considered the manuever Luke used to escape. As punishment for this lack of preparation, Thrawn's bodyguard Rukh executed Pieterson in front of Colclazure's eyes. Thrawn them ordered him to begin training a suitable replacement. (HTTE)

Cold Assault Trooper
This was the official, military desgination of the Imperial snowtrooper. (SWSB, ISB)

Cold Bespin
This was a variation on the standard layout of the game called shronker. In this variation, a gas giant that resembled Bespin was placed in an orbit that was very far from the star at the center of the playing field. In this orbital position, the "cold" Bespin moved slowly around the star, and was much easier to strike than a "hot" Bespin that orbited close to the star. (CN1)

Cold Danda Sire
This deity once threw its shape during the Galactic Civil War, to prove it was as powerful as Horliss-Horliss and Tilotny. Cold Danda Sire was capable of creating anti-concepts, ideas which consumed the concepts of others. Cold Danda Sire manifested itself as a planet-like ball. In an unusual battle, the deities tried to outdo each other by solidifying the bodily flesh and organs of a squadron of stormtroopers who had discovered Leia Organa on a desolate world. However, they soon became bored with the sport and left Splendid Ap to return the humans to their natural state. (CSWDW)

This was the name of the custom-built bulk transport ship used by Quetemoor the Sub-Elder, during the height of the New Order. (CCW)

Cold Grenade
This unusual grenade was developed more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. When detonated, a cold grenade used controlled chemical reactions to disperse a bone-chilling cold over a large area. This cold could freeze living flesh, and rendered most weapons brittle and useless. (KOTOR)

Cold Midnight
This song, written and played by Duskin re Lemte, was produced during the height of the Clone Wars. It combined the driving beat of leap-jump with the melody of heavy isotope, and its composition spoke well of re Lemte's classical education. (MBS)

Cold Ones
This was the name used by Commander Ashpidar and the crew of the Esfandia Long-Range Communications Base to describe the Brrbrlpp. (FH3)

Cold Thing
This was the term used by Jacen Solo to describe the intense, powerful disturbance he felt through the Force, during the years he traveled that galaxy, in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong War. Jacen experienced the touch of the "cold thing" while visiting with Aing-Tii monks, and after sensing that the "cold thing" was located near the Maw cluster of black holes, he set out to learn more about it. The sensation of the "cold thing" was later felt by Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, during their own time with the Aing-Tii, and the two followed in Jacen's path on their own mission of discovery. (FJ3)

Cold Turret
This was the name given to any form of automated fire suppression system that looked like a turret-mounted laser cannon. These devices were prevalent at remote outposts, many millennia before the onset of the Clone Wars. The nozzles of the cold turret could be aimed at the source of a fire, and sprayed a chemical that both doused the fire to eliminate oxygen and chilled the ambient temperature to reduce the damage from heat. A smaller version of the cold turret was used on firefighting droids. (KOTOR2)

Cold Unit
This was spacer's slang for a starship's conservator. (HMK)

Cold, The
A reference to anything intolerable, used by Labria. (TME)

Coldbox
This was the name used to describe the transponder systems used by the Bureau of Ships and Services to monitor starship identification codes. Each BoSS agent carried a coldbox among their tools, and used it to verify the legitimacy of a starship's transponder codes. They were called coldboxes because their contents were supposedly "frozen," and could not be altered to allow an individual starship to escape notice. (E4VG)

Colders Watch
This bulk freighter was owned and operated by Beezrul Granf. (SWJ1)

Coldtime
This was the Gamorrean name for the winter season on the planet Gamorr. It was a harsh period of freezing temperatures and blowing winds, and most Gamorreans remain indoors at all times. This forces the warlike males to soften a bit, and much of the courtship and romance between the sexes occurs during coldtime. (SWJ14)

Cole
This was one of the most common names given to male Corellians. (GMR9)

Coleac
This small, rodent-like creature was native to the plains of Ansion. (APS)

Coleoptera

Colf
This man served as a Lieutenant in the Imperial armed forces, and was in charge of one of the many stormtrooper units that were stationed aboard the Reprisal, during the months following the Battle of Yavin. (A)

Colfillini
This grain was grown on large farms on the planet Antar 4. Nearly fifteen years before the onset of the Clone Wars, the plantations that grew colfillini became engaged in a kind of civil war, with local barons working their laborers to death and trying to wipe out their competition by either absorbing them or killing them. Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Master, Qui-Gon Jinn, were part of the delegation that was dispatched to Antar 4 to resolve the situation. Senator Bail Organa's uncle, Tayvor Mandirly, was a simple agricultural expert who was among the many innocent beings who were killed in the dispute. (CWWS)

Colgter, Frang
The Azbrian who married Condren Foreck before Lando Calrissian could meet her. (AC)

Colicoid
This was a species of chitinous, insect-like creatures which were native to the planet Colla IV. They had a highly-developed level of technology. However, they were also incredibly brutal as a species, and were known to barbarically stop any travellers through their system and eat them. They were extremely skilled in the creation of automata, and the Colicoid Creation Nest was the primary developers of the destroyer droids used by the Trade Federation. These droids, known as droidekas, resemble the Colicoid physiology, even mimicking the Colicoid ability to roll up into a ball and surprise their prey. This ability to roll into a ball was an adaptation of an ancient survival mechanism, used by the ancestors of the Colicoids to avoid being killed by the hueche. Over time, the Colicoids found ways to eradicate that hueche, but continued to use the ball form in other ways. The Colicoid species had a strong distrust of the Jedi Knights, a feeling which was intensified in the wake of the Battle of Naboo. It was during this time that the Colicoids took control of the spice mining operations on Kessel, hoping to establish a strong inflow of credits to their coffers. They tried to acquire the rights to a spice processing plant on Nar Shaddaa, but had to negotiate with the slaver Krayn to obtain them. In the wake of the Clone Wars, the Colicoids had decided to abandon their home on Colla IV, hoping that establishing a new home on a remote planet in the Tion Cluster would help avoid persecution at the hands of the Empire. (VD1, IG1, JQ, NEGD, MF)

Colicoid
This was the spoken language of the Colicoid race. It consisted of a series of hums and clicks that were produced by the Colicoid antennae, which made it nearly impossible for other races to understand or reproduce. There was no written form of the Colicoid language, so many Colicoids chose to use Basic for their written communications. (UANT)

Colicoid Creation Nest
This was the primary affiliation of Colicoids which developed sophisticated droid technology during the last decades of the Old Republic. This group was most noted for the destroyer droids it produced, in their own image, for the Trade Federation. Like other corporations and unions that supported the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Colicoid Creation Nest was forced into obscurity in the wake of the Clone Wars. Their operations were closely monitored by the Empire, and the Colicoids were all but bankrupted during the era of the New Order. They tried to sell any surplus combat droids on the black market, earning just enough credits to stay in business, but never enough to expand or take on new work. The Empire then forced the Colicoids to sign a disarmament order that prevented them from producing weapons. This situation changed in the years that followed the Alliance-Confederation War, when the peoples of the galaxy discovered a need for security droids and personal armament. Like Baktoid Industries, the Colicoid Creation Nest decided that the time had come to re-enter the galactic marketplace, and the Colicoids began developing new droids for sale on the open market. The leaders of Colla-Arphocc Automata opened a lawsuit against the Galactic Alliance, asking for permission to begin producing munitions and armaments once more. They hired Lestra Oxic to represent them, getting a high-profile attorney to draw attention to their case. (GB, MF)

Colicoid Sovereign Nest
This was the name used to describe the leaders of the Colicoid race. It was the Colicoid Sovereign Nest that agreed to provide the craftsmanship and facilities of the Colicoid Creation Nest to the Trade Federation, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, for the creation of the Federation's droidekas. The deal was struck after the Trade Federation delivered some fifty barges full of exotic meats to the Colicoid Sovereign Nest as payment. (NEGD)

Colicoid Swarm
This Providence-class destroyer was one of two sister-ships to the Invisible Hand, and was often deployed throughout the Mid Rim in order to confuse the intelligence agents of the Old Republic about the exact whereabouts of General Grievous, during the height of the Clone Wars. (SWDB)

Colim
This man was one of the many poachers who were hired by Rufus Trammel, during the final years of the Old Republic, to safely capture the exotic wildlife that reappeared in the oceans of Dorumaa. Trammel and his associates, working from a floating island base, captured strange and unusual creatures and sold them to the highest bidder. (DC)

Colin
This man served the Alliance as a soldier on the planet Rafft, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. (SWJ3)

Colium
This material was combined with girondium to manufacture ultra-high efficiency solar cells for the Empire, during the height of the New Order. Girondium-colium solar cells were first used on the TIE Bomber, and later on the TIE Interceptor. (CCS)

Colla Designs
This was the think-tank that developed some of the most ingenious technologies produced by the Colicoid Creation Nest. They were also paired with Separatist-held corporations, such as Phlac-Arphocc Automata, to developed droid starfighters and gunships. (X3)

Colla IV
This planet, located along the border of the Colonies Region and the Inner Rim, was the homeworld of the Colicoid species. It was also the site of the Colicoid Creation Nest and its manufacturing facilities during the final decades of the Old Republic. This made Colla IV an attractive target during the Clone Wars, as the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic could have eliminated a major souce of powerful combat automata for the Separatists. However, the Republic's forces were soundly defeated when they tried to take control of the planet, when the Separatists sent in several Scorpenek Annihilator Droids to destroy the Republic units. In the wake of the Clone Wars, much of the Colicoid civilization left Colla IV behind, hoping to avoid persecution at the hands of the Empire by establishing a new home on a remote planet in the Tion Cluster. (VD1, IWE1, NEGD, MF)

Colla-Arphocc Automata

Collaborator
This Yuuzhan Vong yorik-stronha picket ship was originally known as the Hrosha-Gul, a name which literally meant "the price of pain". It was captured during the defense of Esfandia by the Galactic Alliance, and used as part of a daring mission to trick B'shith Vorrik into spreading his forces too thin. Once refitted and made spaceworthy, the ship was renamed by Jaina Solo to be the Collaborator. Tahiri traveled aboard the ship to present herself before Vorrik and offer him a chance to use her to infiltrate the Galactic Alliance's forces. She promised him that she would get close enough to the surface of Esfandia to allow his ships to locate the communications base on the planet. In reality, Tahiri hoped to draw off enough of Vorrik's defensive capability for the combined forces of the Alliance and the Imperial Remnant to neutralize him. (FH3)

Colla-Di
This series of caves and caverns were located on Arda-2. The entrance to the Colla-Di was hidden by the Great Torgur Falls. (CSWEA)

Collector, The
This was the codename of the elderly man who approached Jozzel Moffett about located the Yavin Vassilika, shortly before the Alliance established its base on Yavin 4. The Collector worked with Bria Tharen to track down the artifact, knowing that it contained the key to unlocking the ancient Massassi temples. They paid Jozzel with the money they made from selling the spice which was stolen from Ylesia and the Besadii Hutts, (UYV)

College of Astrocartography
This university, located on the planet Charmath, was dedicated to teaching students about the subject of mapping the galaxy. (GMR9)

College of Sith Flunkies
This was a derogatory term used by many beings to describe the College of the Inquisition, during the early years of the New Order. (CN3)

College of the Inquisition
This was the insititution that trained the various members of the Inquisitorius. Note that Coruscant Nights III - Patterns of Force indicates that Probus Tesla had been trained at the College of the Inquisition, implying that the college had been established at least six years prior to the end of the Clone Wars. (CN3)

Collision Shield
Developed by Lando Calrissian and the technicians he employed at Lando's Folly, this shield system allowed starfighters running through the asteroid belt to bounce off asteroids instead of crashing into them. The shield system included defensive arrays and repulsors, all of which were monitored and maintained from a remote station above the asteroid belt. (VP)

Collo Fauale
Mirith Sinn's New Republic agents fled to a hidden base in this mountain pass, on the planet Phaeda, after being routed by Colonel Shev's forces. The pass was then destroyed by Carnor Jax, who ordered the Steadfast and Emperor's Revenge to bombard it from orbit. (CE)

Collomus
This New Republic Intelligence officer held the rank of Brigadier, and served under Carlist Rieekan in the Operations Office. He was involved in the intial planning of the mission to intercept the Teljkon vagabond at Gmir Askilon. He was one of the first people to interview Belezaboth Ourn, after the Paqwe turned himself in to the Republic. (SOL, TT)

Collor Pondrat
This corporation manufactured racing engines for podracers and other repulsorlift vehicles. Collor Pondrat's operations reached their peak during the final years of the Old Republic, but they were able to remain in business for decades after the Clone Wars. (X1, RF1)

Collun, Shen-Ji
This young Jedi Padawan was on the planet Daimar when the Empire began its bombardment of the planet, in response to King Mitar's defiance of Imperial rule. Shen-Ji had been sent to Daimar by her Master, just a few months before she was to take the Jedi Trials, when her Master sensed trouble approaching. Thus, Shen-Ji managed to avoid the death and destruction that accompanied Order 66, but she was stranded on Daimar and forced to hide there. The death of her Master and the destruction of the Jedi Order left Shen-Ji with an intense hatred of the Galactic Empire and its ruler, Emperor Palpatine, and she was often seen scowling and looking generally angry. She was taken in by King Mitar, who tried to bolster her confidence and improve her emotional state by explaining to her that she was destined to help the galaxy recover from the oppression of the Empire. Thus, when King Mitar asked for help in making sure Alet Komain and Princess Wilena escaped from Daimar, Shen-Ji agreed to join the mission. The group escaped the Imperial blockade of Daimar aboard the Wasaka and soon reached Byrsym. However, after meeting with Ballon, they discovered that King Mitar's son, Prince Torrin, had fled Byrsym for Dantooine. Shen-Ji and her comrades followed his trail, and eventually reunited Torrin with his sister and advisor. Sometime later, Shen-Ji discovered that Princess Wilena had a connection to the Force. (FR)

Collus
One of the galaxy's most forward-thinking philosophers, Collus was responsible for the creation of Alderaan University. Collus served the Old Republic as a sage and philosopher. He took his brightest students and formed the University in Aldera, which expanded as various leaders built adjacent schools near Collus' central university. He believed that knowledge without application was wasted knowledge, and that information gleaned from textbooks was inferior to information gained by direct experience. (ISU)

Collypod
This small creature was considered a delicacy by many races, including the Twi'leks and the Hutts. They were usually served flambeed and then smothered in a thick stew-like broth. (BF4)

Colmar, Davaire
This human male was a Lieutenant with the Alliance. He had strong features that belied his quiet, extremely competant personality. Before joining the Alliance, Colmar was a rising star in the Imperial Special Training Corps. As a member of the corps, he participated in the Siege of Dalron IV, during which he received a severe head wound and was left to die. When he came to, he wandered the countryside aimlessly, all the while reviewing the battle in his head. He came to the realization that the Empire had failed to protect its own people, and he deserted the corps. He joined the Alliance on Dalron IV. (GG9)

Colnor
This man, distinguished by the cybernetic eye that replaced one that was lost in a battle, was a member of the Cularin Militia during the height of the Clone Wars. (LFCW)

Colo Claw Fish
This huge, flat, elongated sea serpent was found in the depths of Naboo's seas. It had two rows of phosphorescent nodules which travel along either side of its 40-meter-long body, which it used to attract its prey. The front end of the fish was dominated by a long, tooth-filled snout studded with large eyes that can see into the murky depths. Large, claw-like appendages sprout from either side of its mouth, which the colo used to capture and hold its prey while it took huge bites. The jaws of the colo claw fish can be unhinged, allowing it to swallow prey many times larger than its own head. The average colo claw fish was an indiscriminate feeder, and sometimes swallowed its prey alive. The prey included young opee sea killers, and colo specimens were recovered that were killed when the opees chewed their way out of the colo's stomach. The colo claw fish also had the ability to emit an intense, hydrosonic shriek that can stun nearby fish, allowing the colo to feed at will. (E1N, IG1, SON, WSW, NEGA)

Colonial Constabulary
The Rafa System's police force. (LCM)

Colonial Games
This series of athletic events was staged between the various colonies of the Roon System, during the early years of the New Order. (DCAR)

Colonial News Net

Colonies, The
This was the name given to the areas of the galaxy just outside outside the Core Worlds, which were settled during the early expansion periods of the Old Republic. The Colonies eventually grew into industrial and metropolitan centers, but these were heavily raided during the Emperor's New Order. During the early years of the New Republic, many of these worlds were freed from Imperial control and used as launch points for the Republic's fight to regain Coruscant. (SWSB, EGP)

Colonists
This was the term used to describe the descendents of the Survivors, those beings who managed to survive the destruction of the Outbound Flight Project. Like the Survivors, they were considered members of the Outbound Flight Colony. After the Vagaari threat was eliminated, the Colonists grudgingly agreed to accompany the Outbound Flight Colony to Nirauan, staying as far away from the New Republic as they could. (SQ)

Colonnades
This was the term used tio describe the immense columns which lined the inner walkways of the Grand Piazza on the planet Anaxes. (CCW)

One of the Ylesia slave and spice colonies, it was destroyed by Tuga SalPivo shortly before the Battle of Ylesia. (RD)

Colony Five
This Ylesia slave and spice colony was led by Pohtarza, shortly before the Battle of Ylesia. (RD)

Colony Four
This Ylesia colony was infiltrated by the Hyallp Noy Waglla, shortly before the Battle of Ylesia. (RD)

Colony Nine
The last of the Ylesian colonies to be built, it was still not operational when Jabba the Hutt sent Sniquux to infiltrate it. The Rodian laid a series of traps for the t'landa Til there and then startled them into them. (RD)

Colony One
This was the primary spice-processing center on the planet Ylesia. The center was ostensibly the site of the religious order founded by Teroenza, although the devoted followers were used as slave labor. The t'landa Til kept the slaves blissfully unaware of their slavery by making them attend daily devotions at the Altar of Promises, where the creatures use their neck pouches to emit sonic vibrations that affect the sensory areas of the slaves' brains. The colony was located between the Mountains of the Exalted and Zoma Gawanga, and was 147 kilometers away from Colony Two. It was here that the Alliance struck the first blows of the Battle of Ylesia, engaging Nova Force in a brief firefight that left much of the mercenary group dead. Decades later, after the Yuuzhan Vong took control of the planet and turned it over to the Peace Brigade, the colony was renamed Peace City. The Yuuzhan Vong executed the Hutts who had been running the glitterstim production on the planet, turning the operation over to the Peace Brigade to fund their efforts. The t'landa Til were spared, but only to continue their "daily devotions" and help keep the slaves working. (TPS, RD, Y)

Colony Seven
This Ylesian slave and spice colony was infiltrated by Aiaks Fwa shortly before the Battle of Ylesia. (RD)

Colony Three
The third colony established by Teroenza on Ylesia, it was created after Han Solo and Bria Tharen nearly destroyed Colony One during their escape. Bria and her band of freedom fighters returned to Colony Three, seeing that it was not as sercurely guarded as the first two colonies, to rescue the enslaved pilgrims there. (THG)

Colony Two
The second of three planned false religious colonies established by the Hutts and the t'landa Til on Ylesia, it was here that Mrrov was held in thrall until Muuurgh rescued her. Colony Two, sited on the northeastern edge of the Zoma Gawanga, was located 147 kilometers from Colony One, across the Gachoogai River and the Mountains of Faith, and was nearly identical in layout to Colony One. (TPS)

Colony, The
This was the collective name given to the various hives of insectile Killiks, which began to expand at a prodigious rate after Raynar Thul became a Joiner. At the Colony's height of growth and expansion, which occurred some five years after the Galactic Alliance defeated the Yuuzhan Vong, there were some 375 different hives, all acting together to carry out the Will of the Colony. The expansion of the Colony was traced by to an event known as Ub Ruur, or The Crash, when the Unu hive discovered the burned body of Raynar Thul. Until Thul's arrival, the Colony had existed for centuries as a small collection of hives deep in the Unknown Regions. After Thul was nursed back to health, he became the first true Joiner. His complete submission to the Will of the Colony gave the insect hives a connection to the Force, and showed them life in other forms. Under the guidance of UnuThul, the Unu hive became the dominant hive in the Colony, and the Colony flourished. New hives were established with surprising regularity, and the Colony began taking over planets that were very close to the borders of Chiss space. Hives stripped entire planets bare of resources, in an effort to support the growing Colony, and eventually began to push up against the borders of Chiss space. The Colony also expanded its use of the Joiners, who transported goods to the Colony's worlds and accepted no real payment. Instead, they carried shine-balls and other items produced by the Colony back to the Outer Rim, where they were traded for more supplies. In this way, the Colony established trade relations with many planets. Unknown to even UnuThul, however, was that the rise of the Colony was being directed by the Gorog hive. This so-called Dark Nest served as the unconscious Will of the Colony, corresponding to the more conscious aspect of UnuThul, and was led by Lomi Plo and Welk. The two Dark Jedi were powerful enough to hide their actions, and the other hives of the Colony simply refused to believe that it existed. When the Gorog began capturing Chiss and using their bodies to feed their larvae, it directed the Colony to expand toward Chiss space. This nearly led to a war between the Colony and the Chiss near Qoribu, which was narrowly averted when Luke Skywalker and the Jedi Order brokered a solution. To appease the Chiss and ensure the continued survival of the Colony, entire hives were relocated to uninhabited worlds within the Utegetu Nebula. The appearance of the Fizz, which seemed to attack only Killiks, brought the conflict between the Colony, the Chiss, and the Galactic Republic to another head about a year later. Even after it was revealed that the Fizz was a nanotech defense mechanism, the Colony still decided to launch its attacks. The fighting ground to a deadly standstill at the Battle of Tenupe, until Luke Skywalker launched a desparate mission to eliminate Lomi Plo and remove Raynar Thul from the Colony. With the help of the new order of Jedi, Luke's mission proved ultimately successful. With the Dark Nest eliminated and Raynar in captive, the Colony was stripped of its Will, and the various hives were allowed to return to their previous state of existence. In a few generations, the Killiks would naturally reduce their population, and their numbers on the worlds of the Utegetu Nebula would be regulated by the Fizz. For all intents and purposes, the Colony had ceased to exist. (DN1, DN2, DN3)

Color-crawler
A small alien creature which exudes a colored slime as it travels. The slime can be used to color a great many things, including hair, cloth, and paint. (CS)

Colo's Ship
This was one of six Imperial bulk freighters assigned to the replenishment fleet which contained the Black Ice. (BI)

Colossus
This gas giant, orbited by 24 moons, was the fifth and outermost planet in the Belgaroth System. (CCW)

Colossus
This was one of the many Imperial-class Star Destroyers that made up the Imperial Star Fleet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TIEP)

Colossus Wasp of Ithull
A huge insectoid alien, about the size of a large transport ship. The insects were so huge that the dead were scavenged by the various transport guilds in the Stenness system, and their exoskeletons were scrapped out. These hollow shells were then fitted with interior holds, navigation systems, hydraulics, and crew quarters. The exterior was then plated, and sublight and hyperspace drives were attached so that the entire carapace can be used as a fast cargo ship. They were virtually indestructible, since the round shape tended to deflect laser blasts. The pirates of the Stenness System later developed small ships which could latch onto and pierce the outer hull so that they could enter the cargo holds and steal the cargo. When alive, the wasps fed on stellar radiation, raw proto-materials, and the multitude of silicon-based lifeforms which lived in the vacuum of space. (TOJ, TOJC)

Cols
This planet was covered oceans and waterways. (COG)

Cols Kalaides Harvest Guild
This guild monitors and regulates the population of kalaides in Harvest Bay, on the planet Cols, working to maintain a balance that allows ideal water conditions and better harvests of fish. (COG)

Colsa
This barren, rocky world was the second planet in the Dostra System. It had a single moon. (AIR)

Colsassa
This gas giant was the fourth planet of the Adega System. It was orbited by eleven moons. (GORW)

Colton
This New Republic Naval Ensign served aboard the FarStar during its travels through Kathol Sector. Colton was one of the few regular Navy officers, and served as the ship's Petty Officer. (DARK, KO)

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

Colton, Jeremoch
This man was a member of the support staff of the Royal House of Alderaan, during the final years of the Old Republic. He held the rank of Captain in Alderaan's meager naval forces, and served as the pilot of the Star of Alderaan for many years. When the ship was renamed Tantive IV, Captain Colton remained as the vessel's captain. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Colton was given ownership of the droids C-3PO and R2-D2, in an effort to disassociate them from their former owners, Anakin Skywalker and Padme' Amidala. During the early years of Palpatine's rule as Emperor, Colton brought the two droids to one of Palpatine's balls, where C-3PO mistook Darth Vader for a GuardDroid. Colton demoted C-3PO to preschool teaching duty for the offense. In the novelization of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, it is inferred that Colton was the Captain of the Tantive IV, although in the script for Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, the Captain's name was Antilles. This was retconned in C-3PO: Tales of the Golden Droid, which indicated that the Captain's name was Colton Antilles. Ultimately, Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith settled on the name Jeremoch Colton. (E4N, EGC, OWS, SWI90, TGD)

Colu
This large white star was the primary star in the Colu System. (GG4)

Colu, Gorton
This crazed, old man lived in the Upper City of Taris, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. He lived on the streets, and spent most of his day ranting about the plague that was turning the population into rakghouls. However, upon further questioning, Colu revealed that he was simply a pro-human racist, and the "plague" he ranted about was the presence of non-humans in the city. (KOTOR)

Colu System
This planetary system, located in the Mayagil Sector, contained the planet Clak'Dor VII. (GG4, SWDB)

ColuChem
This Bith chemical research group created the compound Anti-Corr 113. (SWJ9)

Columbia
This was one of the Alliance's MC80a cruisers, active during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Columex
This planet was considered the capital world of the Commonality. The planet was purchased some 1,500 years before the Clone Wars by the Greyshade family, which transformed it into a major trade world. Under the leadership of the Greyshades, the Columexi gradually took control of the commerce in the Commonality, and eventually became the Commonality's leaders. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Columex was razed by the alien invaders, although it was the only one of the Commonality worlds to be so fully destroyed. (GORW)

Columexi
This was the term used to describe the human natives of the planet Columex. Many considered the Columexi to be the true leaders of the Commonality, and the races represented by the worlds of the Commonality felt that the Columexi exploited their labors for their own betterment. This sentiment was flet most keenly by the Vorzydiaks, whose early explorations brought the star systems of the Commonality together in the first place. (GORW)

Columi
These aliens, native to the planet Columus, were a peaceful, non-agressive race with a vast intellect stored in their huge heads. One third of their height, and most of their weight, was found in their heads, which were wreathed with throbbing blood vessels. The brain of the Columi was divided into over 100 lobes, each dedicated to an independent function. The collection of intelligence had long-since rendered their limbs useless, and they have to be transported in antigrav harnesses. The eyes of the Columi were capable of seeing in the entire electromagnetic spectrum, and can "hear" by analyzing the frequency of sound and radio waves. Their technology centers on the use of radio waves, generated by their immense brains. All Columi hardware was created to be activated and manipulated with radio waves. They use droids and other machinery to perform their physical work. Being one of the first species to develop an advanced society and technology, they were greatly dismayed to find the rest of the galaxy inhabitted by "barbarians." Also, the heaviness of standard gravity was hard for the Columi to overcome, so off-world travel was kept to a minimum. Those Columi found off Columus were either scholars, business leaders, or gamblers, and can be almost impossible to beat. They apparently freely joined the Empire, although mainly in order to retain their isolation. (CPL, GG4)

Columi Mental Hoverpod
This small, chari-like repulsorcraft was originally developed by the Columi race. It encased the lower half of a being's body in the chair, and movement was controlled by mental projection. Originally, the cerebral interface could only be attuned to the Columi themselves. Over time, however, their skills with non-Columi minds allowed the chair to be modified to work with humans, Huts, Duros, Sullustans, and Bith. (GFT)

Column
This was the alias used by a spy who had infiltrated the Old Republic's bota processing operations on the planet Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. Column was the alias he used when working with Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, which was interested in grabbing a large share of bota. To his other employer, the criminal organization BlackSun, he was known simply as Lens. Column had been monitoring the actions of Admiral Tarnese Bleyd and Filba the Hutt, and was forced into action when Filba purposely destroyed a bota transport in an effort to drive up the prices. Acting on orders that served both of his masters, Column slipped a deadly poison into Filba's food, eliminating the Hutt and his machinations. Under the alias Lens, he then set up a meeting with the Nediji assassin Kaird, who had also been dispatched to Drongar by Black Sun, to ensure that their orders were not in conflict. In the following months, Column discovered that the bota plant was mutating at a tremendous rate, and would be worthless in just a few generations. Column relayed this information to his Separatist contacts, which essentially allowed them to gather the available bota and launch an all-out attack on the Republic's forces. It was the Jedi Padawan Barris Offee who discovered that Column was actually the base's minder, Klo Merit. Although Offee tried to go through official channels to have Merit detained, Jos Vondar took matters into his own hands. He confronted Merit with the evidence, and shot the Equani in the chest before he could escape. (MBS, MJH)

Column Commons District
This section of Coruscant's Imperial City was located between the Imperial Palace and the Calocour Heights District, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was named for the huge columns that supported the "ceiling" of levels above the district, and it served as the base of operations for the many holodrama and newsnet publishers which were headquartered on Coruscant. (CCW)

Column of Light
The natives of New Apsolon erected these pillars of of light to honor the death of a loved one. (CTV)

Columni
This corporation developed highly-specialized droids brains for non-standard uses. (CRO)

Columus
This planet was the homeworld of the Columi race. It was a small world with a light gravitational field and very little tectonic movement. It was a flat, muddy world with no natural erosion. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, a theraputic cloning center was established on the planet, to generate replacement organs for individuals suffering from life-threatening diseases. Much to the dismay of these individuals, the onset of the Clone Wars brought about a halt to any non-military cloning, under Senate decree E49D139.41. This prompted the Galactic Senate to issue exemptions to planets like Columus, which could acquire a license to perform therapeutic medical cloning. (GG4, SWI68, RCTC)

Columus Data Card
This ancient data card contained a wealth of information on the events that surrounded the First Great Schism. Many Jedi considered the data card to be legitimate, but detractors like Ingo Wavlud claimed that it was little more than propaganda. The Columus Data Card contained the recordings of Danzigorro Potts, who died on Columus during the First Great Schism. (EGF)

Columus Institute of Health
This branch of the government of the planet Columus was concerned with the health and well-being of the planet's inhabitants. This institute regulated the exchange of information on genetics and cloning, ensuring that the research performed by Columi scientists was properly attributed and applied. During the final years of the Old Republic, the Columus Institute of Health was censured by the Office of the Chancellor, preventing them from furthering their research into cloning. (RC66)

Colunda Prime
A planet. (HNN5)

Colunda Sector
An area of the galaxy containing the planets Nyasko and Muskree, the Colundra Sector was located near the end of the Perlemian Trade Route, beyond the Tion Hegemony.. (DESB, WOA32)

Com
An Alliance container group destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Com scan
A specialized sensor sweep modulated to detect the energy generated by message transmission signals. (E5)

Com623
Developed by BioTech, this communications implant was used by cyborged individuals to send and receive communictaions. It eliminated the need for the wearer to carry a comlink. (EGW)

Coma Gas
Developed by the New Republic, this was a speciallized form of nerve gas created to incapacitate the Yuuzhan Vong. In the years following the war, coma gas was modified for use by the Galactic Alliance military, as a way to neutralize an enemy force without causing unnecessary loss of life. Coma gas was preferred for this use because it didn't actually have to be inhaled to work. If it came into contact with the lining of the nasal passages, it would be absorbed by the body and render the victim inert. (SBS, LF6, LF9)

Comar Antiatmospheric Gun
A specialized weapon that creates disturbances in the surrounding air, forcing airborne craft to the ground. (TME)

CoMar Combat Systems
A manufacturers of surface-to-air weapons, CoMar was headquartered in the Corporate Sector during the height of the New Order. (ISB, POT)

CoMar Weapons
see CoMar Combat Systems (ISB)

Comaren
A re-orientive drug. (COJ)

Comark, Amber
The daughter of Moff Jesco Comark, Amber was friends with a librarian in the Imperial archives during her early years. When the librarian was exposed as an Alliance agent, Amber could only watch as the librarian was arrested and interrogated. The death of the librarian was reported to Amber by her father, and only served to highlight the atrocities the Empire considered normal behavior. Amber decided to assume the role played by the librarian - as the special agent known as Tigress - but she had neither the training nor the contacts of the librarian. Her information was much less reliable, and Alliance Special Operations began to doubt Tigress' loyalties. When Amber discovered that her father was the mastermind behind the Death-Hunter project, she began filtering data about it to the Alliance. She provided information on the use of Plexus courier droids, as well as hints of strange kidnappings, through her astromech droid, R2-B4. She remained near the project, and was able to assist a group of Alliance agents in exposing it. She met them on Bescane, after the loss of Cooper Dray, and they were led on a chase which ended on Zeta Zero Nine. It was there that the Alliance agents, along with Lady Amber, defeated her father and eliminated the primary Death-Hunter development files. (SWJ9)

Comark, Jesco
This Imperial Moff was the creator of the Death-Hunter project. A native of the planet Chandrila, he was nonetheless easily swayed by Senator Palpatine's writings and speeches, and was one of the few Chandrilans who embraced the beliefs of the unassuming Palpatine. When Palpatine instituted the New Order, he awarded Comark with the position of Imperial Governor of Chandrila despite the protests of Mon Mothma. She lobbied that Comark had no political experience in governing a planet, and Comark eventually yielded to her. He then took a position within Renik, and began diverting its resources into the Death-Hunter project. He was finally brought down by Alliance agents at his secret base on Zeta Zero Nine, as a result of the information provided to the Alliance by his own daughter, Amber. In a battle within his underwater base, the Alliance agents were able to free nearly all of the kidnapped humans who were being used to create the Death-Hunter cyborgs. They destroyed the facility, and it was believed that Moff Comark perished in the destruction. (SWJ9)

Combat
This was the traditional method of deciding disputes between the S'krrr and Rabaanite peoples. It was initially created some 6,300 years before the Galactic Civil War, as a way for the two races to coexist in relative peace. Under the rules of Combat, the strongest warrior from each planet was selected to battle the other in single combat. The battle took places on the Combat Moon, and the two combatants must fight to the death. The victor's planet was declared the winner of the dispute. (SWJ9)

Combat Aerospace Patrol
This was the naval term used by the New Republic to describe those starships that patrolled the edges of a star system or other interstellar location, monitoring all space traffic and providing a warning if enemy vessels appeared in the area. (XWN)

Combat Aquaspeeder
Developed from the basic Incom T-47 airspeeder, this Hydrospeare Corporation design modified the airspeeder for use as an aquatic attack craft. Unlike most Hydrospeare designs, however, this craft found use within the Alliance. This craft was armed with a turret-mounted quad-laser cannon as well as a power harpoon. The cockpit was modified to allow for a second pilot, and the entire fuselage was streamlined to give it better maneuverability underwater. (AIR)

Combat Arachnid
These twelve-legged, insectoid, crimson and maroon beasts had hard shells covered with needle-like spines. Their outer shell was extremely hard, and the dorsal surface of the shell was covered with a strange pattern that looked like a death's-head. Combat arachnids had piston-like jaws that tore apart and devoured their prey quickly and efficiently. These huge insects communicated via a series of hypersonic transmissions. Combat Arachnids were believed to have been native to the planet Carida, although many colonies were discovered on far-flung worlds where the creatures were used in gladiator arenas. On planets like Kuar, combat arachnids were left behind when the planet was abandoned, and evolved into their own subspecies. (TJP, DIV)

Combat Broadcast Unit
This was the generic term used to describe any vessel that was owned and operated by one of the many news and media providers in the galaxy. These vessels were dispatched to cover the events that occurred in the galaxy, often during combat. The fact that combat broadcast units were operating for the news agencies allowed them to move anywhere in a battlezone that the pilot was daring enough to enter. (LF8)

Combat Command Center
This area was the heart of an New Republic warship, and housed the battle analysis computers and a wealth of tactical sensors. (IR)

Combat Engineer Battalion
This unit of the 38th Armored Division of the Grand Army of the Republic was assigned to maintain the various war machines of the Old Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. (HWS)

Combat Guild
Based in the city of Bestine, on the planet Tatooine, this guild provided training in a number of military and martial arts to civilians during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWI68)

Combat Implant
Developed during the decades leading up to the Great Sith War, a combat implant was essentially a small computer system was implanted into a being's body. The computer was linked to the user's brain, and provided a constant stream of data about battle situations. It could provide weapons specifications, troop estimates, and other tactical information at the user's request, allowing them to make swift, informed decisions as a battle raged around them. The technology behind the combat implant was experimental at best and prohibitively expensive, and never saw widespread usage. (KOTOR)

Combat Litany
This part of the Smuggler's Creed described the unspoken rules for getting into and out of a fight. It read, "Never fight when you can bluff. Never bluff when you can run. Never run when you can sneak. If no one knows you're there, you win." Although these words were recited by smugglers across the galaxy, very few smugglers found that they could be adequately applied in most situations. (LSSM)

Combat Moon
This was the name given to the only natural satellite of the planet Rabaan. It was a barely habitable world, with a thin atmosphere supporting minimal plant and animal life. The Combat Moon was tectonically active, and great rifts and jagged peaks mark its drab, gray surface. Despite its proximity to Rabaan, it was declared neutral ground by the Rabaanites and S'krrr, who used the moon as the battlefield on which to settle their differences. A champion from each world would be sent to the moon to battle for the resolution of any dispute between the two races. It was on this moon that Imperial Commander Glave met Mika Streev and Sh'shak, who had prepared to do battle for their worlds, in the first stage of the Imperial invasion of the Ishanna System. (SWJ9)

Combat Multiview Display
Known as a CMD, this was the central display system used aboard the various starfighters that were maintained by the Alliance. The CMD provided pilots with information on a varient of shipboard systems. (XWP)

Combat Sense
A technique employed by the Jedi Knights, it allows a Jedi to focus most of their attention on the battle at hand. The Jedi sees enemies as bright images, and can direct the flow of the battle while viewing enemy positioning. (SWSB)

Combat Space Patrol
This was the primary naval defense force that protected Lord Shadowspawn's base on the planet Mindor, during the months following the Battle of Endor. (LSSM)

Combat Speeder
This two-person speeder design was originally created by a designer working for SroSuub during the height of the New Order. However, the lead designer lost a great deal of credits in a sabacc match, and unknowingly sold the designs to an Alliance agent to pay for his debts. The Alliance took advantage of their good fortune, producing the 5.7-meter-long combat speeder for use in land battles against the Empire. Crewed by a pilot and a gunner, the combat speeder never made it to the civilian market, as the Alliance preferred to keep it a secret as much as possible. The speeder could attain speeds of nearly 230 kilometers per hour. (LAWS)

Combat Stance
This was the term used to describe the upright position of a Destroyer Droid. (SON)

Combat Training Chamber
This was the primary combat training facility maintained by the Jedi Order on Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Chamber was located within the Jedi Temple, and could be reconfigured to simulate a variety of locations and conditions. The Chamber's primary use was for training Padawans in lightsaber and hand-to-hand combat, especially when the Clone Wars broke out. (YDR)

Combat Utility Vehicle
Any small (15 meters), maneuverable ship used to supply weapons and other consumables to space outposts. These craft have a top speed of 35 MGLT, and were armed with 2 laser cannons and 2 ion cannons. They were usually unshielded, with weak, 8 RU hulls. Thus, they were never far from their motherships. (TIE)

Combat-meld
see Battle-meld (DN3)

Combined Clans
This was the governing body of the Bothan race. It was made up of the leaders of the various Bothan clans. They were responsible for all aspects of Bothan life, including security and finance. They made a series of poor financial decisions following the Battle of Endor and the formation of the New Republic, and suddenly found themselves in debt. A clever manipulation of financial data made it appear that the Bothans were still in control of large sums of credits, but they were sorely impoverished at the time. This situation was exacerbated by the revelations of the Caamas Document, when they could not make any form of restitution to the Caamasi without bankrupting themselves and shaking up several major galactic stock exchanges. (SOP)

Combined Clans Center Building
This was the huge, spacious business center of the Combined Clans, located in Merchant's Square, in the city of Drev'starn on Bothawui. Much of the Bothan financial empire was centered in this edifice. (SOP)

Combined Defense Forces of the New Republic
This was the name given to the collection of military forces that were controlled by the New Republic. During the months following the Battle of Endor, as the New Republic began to consolidate its power, its leaders decided that it would be difficult to create a single military force to defend its worlds, especially since remnants of the Empire were still at-large. They formed the Combined Defense Forces, also known as the NRDF, to ensure that the various military forces that supported the Republic were being coordinated in their efforts to ensure security in the galaxy. (LSSM)

Combined Operations Center
This was the facility that was created aboard Outbound Flight to would allow the mission's crew to handle operations aboard all six Dreadnaughts from a single location. Most operations were handled on a ship-by-ship basis, to ensure quick responses to most operational difficulties. However, in those situations where there was an emergency on any one vessel, the crew in the Combined Operations Center could respond to the emergency without the need to send personnel into a dangerous situation. The primary advantage to the Combined Operations Center was that it allowed a rapid response to any situation, since ship-to-ship travel was time-consuming, due to the sheer size of the vessel and the restrictive nature of the turbolift pylons and connecting structures. (OF)

Com-box
This communications equipment was used in areas where natural surroundings make radio communication useless. Com-boxes were connectde via a fiber-optic link, which uses light impulses to transmit messages. (IC)

Comcall
This was a generic term used to describe any transmission or communication that took place over a comlink. (JCT2)

Comda
This term from the Bocce langauge translated into Basic as "now". (GPB)

Comdisk
This was a generic term used to describe any disk-shaped, holographic comlink. (CWYN)

Comeg
An Imperial Admiral whose fleet patrolled the Core Worlds during the Galactic Civil War. (DESB)

Comestibles and Curatives Administration
This group was established by the New Republic to ensure that the various corporations producing foodstuffs for the galaxy were operating with the interests of the galaxy in mind. (JE)

Comet Broom Service
This small company was formed by the Wookiees Mronk and Rroorgli in the Cularin System, about three years before the onset of the Clone Wars. Based on Artom Station, Comet Broom Service's mission was to provide safer passge through the cloud of comets that surrounded the Cularin System, by intercepting rogue comets and towing or pushing them out of orbits that might intersect with normal traffic lanes. The Wookiees also took on shepherding roles, retrieving icy comets from their orbits as part of water reclamation activities. At any given time, Comet Broom Service employed between forty and one hundred workers, depending on the size of the jobs they were asked to do. The services provided by the Comet Broom Service were not cheap, and came under scrutiny when the Fricasseed Nerf collided with a comet after receiving a clear navigational path from Cularin SpaceNav Control. (AYS)

Comet Busters
Founded by Nad Baron, this was one of the handful of comet retrieval and repositioning agencies that worked in the Cularin System, during the final years of the Old Republic. Like its rival, the Comet Broom Service, Comet Busters worked with Cularin SpaceNav Control to patrol the Cularin Comet Cloud and eliminate any rogue comets that might cause trouble for space travelers. The agency also retrieved icy comets for water reclamation purposes. Because of its smaller size and relatively new presence in the Cularin System, Comet Busters often supplied subcontract labor to the Comet Broom Service, although it did manage to acquire a few smaller clients of its own. When a rogue comet damaged the Fricasseed Nerf, Comet Busters tried to get a copy of the data that was sent by the Comet Broom Service, in an effort to exploit it and gain more market share in the system. Fortunately, the data was transmitted via a secure terminal, and the Comet Busters agents were unable to get a copy. (AYS)

Comet Casino
A bar and restaurant located on Nar Shaddaa. (THG)

Comet Squadron
An A-Wing group serving the New Republic under General Crespin. (WS)

Cometary Water Reclamation Project
This was the name given to the plan to acquire a supply of relatively fresh water from the multitude of comets that filled the Cularin Comet Cloud. Believed to have been commissioned by Jedi Master Lanius Qel-Bertuk, the Cometary Water Reclamation Project allowed for the hiring of several comet-moving services to patrol the Comet Cloud and physically move icy comets out of the cloud. These relocated comets were either mined for their water in a safer orbit, or were placed into the atmosphere of a water-poor world and allowed to melt due to atmospheric friction. The water that was released in this manner became atmospheric moisture that created huge cloud banks before falling to the surface as rain, while the solid particles within the comet burned up upon entry into the atmosphere. While the project seemed purposeful enough, it was later discovered to have been the brainchild of a deviant Dark Jedi, who disguised himself as Master Qel-Bertuk and managed to push the project to completion. The entire project seemed to be little more than the opening act in a sweeping plot to discredit Master Qel-Bertuk and the Almas Academy, after evidence was uncovered during the investigation into the comet known as The Big One. (AYS)

Cometduster
This was an alcoholic concoction which was popular in the Outer Rim during the early years of the New Republic. After the liquids were mixed in the glass, and impassioning machine excited the molecules of the beverage, giving the tongue a sort of electrifying sensation as it was consumed. (TG)

COMETS-Q
This was the mantra of the Quartermasters who served the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. COMETS-Q represented the seven things that meant the most to any military force, and were often the different between winning and losing a battle: Chemical, Ordnance, Mechanical, Engineer, Transportation, Signal, and Quartermaster. (JT)

Come-up Flector
This was a backwater term for a person who patrolled a starport or other point of debarkation, searching for potential buyers of services they don't really need. (HTTE, TFE)

Comfan
This personal comfort device was used on the planet Adumar to keep oneself cool. It was a small, hemispherical device with a handle. The flat side was crossed with vents, and the round side held the handle and an intake vent. A small motor drew air through the intake and pushed it out through the vents. In the city of Cartann, handling the comfan was an art, and each gesture had a hidden meaning. (SOA)

Coming of the New Star
This was one of the many references to the rogue planet Zonama Sekot, used by an obscure culture deep in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. (FH2)

Comkin Five
This planet was known for its production of candies and medicines. The two industries were inextricably tied to each other. The world was controlled by the Warlord Zsinj during the early years of the New Republic, and was targetted for action by Han Solo's task force hunting the warlord. (SOC)

Comlaser Link
A form of communications which requires visual contact between the sending device and the remote location. (AS)

Comlight
Similar in size and shape to a comlink, this device uses bursts of light to send a signal. Flashes and coloration can be used in a sort of code to signal another individual far away. The comlight was somewhat more effective than a comlink in situations where slience and stealth were necessary, but only in those situations where a bright light wouldn't be noticed. (IG1)

Comlink
A small, cylindrical device that was spoken into. The user's voice was then transmitted to a certain destination (which can be programmed in) or to a broadcast address. They also function as receivers, allowing the user to hear the reply. (E4, HTTE)

Command Channel
This was the communications channel that was used by the Imperial Navy to provide a linkage between military leaders and pilots who were deployed in space. Most Imperial fighters and starships had communications systems that allowed for a variety of communications options, including inter-squad frequencies and private ship-to-ship frequencies. The Command Channel was programmed to pre-empt any other communications, and allowed an Admiral or other high-ranking officer to communicate a common message to all ships that were currently deployed in space. (DSTR)

Command Control Voice
A vocal pattern, usually of a master or primary supervisor, which was programmed into a droid's receptors. This vocal pattern can be used to send special control instructions to the droid. (E4R)

Command Override Limpet Droid
This small droid, known simply as a C.O.L.D., was developed by the Sith, during the years following the Massacre at Ossus. Resembling a small jellyfish, each of these tiny droids could magnetically attach itself to the hull of a starship or other vehicle, after locating the ship through the use of a small propulsion system. Once attached, the COLD could access and override the vehicle's onboard computer system, allowing its user to take control of the vessel. Once the droid has completed it mission, it would fuse its circuits and detach itself from the ship. In this way, the damaged droid simply drifted off like another piece of refuse. (SWLT)

Command Performance
This Rendili-Surron Starlight Freighter was owned by Ahric Korownosek, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He used the ship to transport his acting troupe, the NovaCluster Players, to their many engagements. The cargo sections of the ship were modified to accommodate the troupe's costumes and props, and the library was stocked with all sorts of pro-Imperial holodramas. Within Korownosek's quarters was a secret compartment, in which he stored the artifacts he stole from the sites of various performances. (SS, OWS)

This was a nickname that was often used by Ordo to describe the clone commander known as Levet, who was known for his patience and tact. (RCTC, RC66)

Commander, The
This was Garm Bel Iblis' alias in his own anti-Empire group, used during the years following the Battle of Endor. (DFR)

Commander, The
This was the nickname used Imperial agent X-7 to describe his commanding officer, Rezi Soresh. Soresh used the nickname with all the candidates he trained for spy missions, keeping himself anonymous until one of the candidates proved worthy of serving him. (RF1, RF2, RF3)

Commander's Court
According to the naval traditions of the Old Republic, every warship commander was given the ability to dispense rulings whenever the crew or passengers filed a grievance. The grievances were heard in what became known as the Commander's Court, where the ship's commanding officer decided how to arbitrate the grievance. (OF)

Commander's Glider
This was the name given to the hyperdrive-equipped shuttle that was carried aboard every Chiss warship, as a diplomatic ship assigned to the senior-ranking officer aboard the warship. (SQ)

Commando Droid
This form of combat automaton was developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems as part of the droid army it created to oppose the Grand Army of the Republic, during the era of the Clone Wars. Designated as the BX series, commando droids were much more humanoid in form than the standard battle droid, with a skull-like cranium and articulated arms and legs. More independent than battle droids, commando droids were dispatched on missions where stealth was more important than brute force or sheer numbers. These droids were capable of using blasters or short swords in combat, and were known for their shooting accuracy. Commando droids were often deployed in modified pod-hunters, which were dropped onto a target world using meteor showers as a cover. (CWTV05, SWMW)

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

Commando Team 4
The team of Noghri commandos sent by Grand Admiral Thrawn to intercept Princess Leia on Bpfassh, following Thrawn's attack there. They tried to trick Han and Leia into a mockup of the Millennium Falcon, but were routed when Han realized that the ship was a fake. (HTTE)

Commando Team 8
The team of Noghri commandos sent by Grand Admiral Thrawn to intercept Princess Leia on Bimmisaari, during the New Republic's first set of diplomatic talks there. The Bimms were bribed to keep their presence a secret, but the Noghri were destroyed when Luke and Leia realized what was happening. (HTTE)

Commando Team One
This group of New Republic infiltration agents was led by Kapp Dendo during the period following the Battle of Endor. (XWMR)

Commandoes of the Confederacy
This was the name of the military force that was created from the militias of those credit-poor star systems that chose to support Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Rather than supplying manufacturing or financial support to the Separatists - like the Commerce Guild or the Techno Union - these star systems sent their military forces to fight back against the stagnation of the Old Republic. (SWMW)

Commelina
This colorful, flowering plant was used in decorative gardens. (TT)

Commenor
This planet, located near the Corellian System and sitting on the outer edge of the Core Worlds, was a trading outpost and spaceport. Han Solo once told Luke Skywalker that he traded his chivalry for a 10-carat chrysopaz and three bottle of brandy on the planet. Like Corellia, Commenor was a fiercely independent world that supplied military forces to both the Old Republic and, later, the Galactic Alliance. However, when the Galactic Alliance refused to acknowledge Corellia's bid for independence, Commenorians took notice. When the GA blockaded the Corellian System to prevent any hostile secession, Commenor's government began speaking out about the events. Planetary officials built a small fleet of their own, and bided their time while monitoring the situation in the galaxy.

When a group of Bothan warships was able bypass the blockade near Bothawui and sail for Corellia, Commenor also sent its fleet into the battle. This combined force overwhelmed the Dodonna and her small fleet, freeing Corellia from its own blockade. In the wake of this military action, both Bothawui and Commenor joined Corellia in claiming their independence from the Galactic Alliance, forming what became known as the Corellian Confederation. This group of secessionists later became known simply as The Confederation. Month later, Commenor itself was attacked by the Galactic Alliance's Third Fleet, although the fleet commander was found to have been acting without the authorization of either Cha Niathal or Jacen Solo. The Commenorian naval forces were able to repel the attackers, then dispatched spies who carried affliceria bacterium to Coruscant in retaliation. According to Star Wars: Rebellion, Commenor is located in the Corellian Sector. (E4N, REB, WS, LF4, LF7)

Commenor Holocom
This communications installation and repair business was based on the planet Commenor during the early years of the New Republic. (IR)

Commenori
This was another term used to describe the human inhabitants of the planet Commenor. (LF7)

Commenorian
This was the term used to describe the human inhabitants of the planet Commenor. (LF4)

Commerce Concourse
This was the primary business facility located in Hreas Port City, on Lenthalis. Shortly before the Battle of Hoth, a series of riots broke out between rival gangs, around the Commerce Concourse. (SWJ14)

Commerce Council
This branch of the planetary government of Bethal was responsible for overseeing the various commercial enterprises of the planet. The primary responsibility of the Commerce Council was the continued success of harvesting apocia tree hardwoods, which accounted for a large percentage of the credits that were accumulated by Bethal each year. (SWJ4, OWS)

Commerce Guild
This was one of the largest conglomerates to be given a trade franchise during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Commerce Guild was established to represent the many corporations that supplied raw materials to the entire galaxy, and managed to secure the ability to establish and maintain the prices it charged for these materials. Membership in the Guild was taken quite seriously, and smaller corporations who chose not to join were harassed and bullied into bankruptcy or membership. The Commerce Guild was also one of the loudest supporters of the Trade Federation, following on the Federation's coattails whenever legislation involving trade was mentioned in galactic politics. When the Federation was defeated at the Battle of Naboo, the Commerce Guild's leadership saw its chance to step in and fill the power void. Through overt manipulation of the Republic and covert activities - such as the niobarium pollution of Vorian Four - the Commerce Guild solidified its position of power shortly before the Clone Wars. In order to protect its investments, the Commerce Guild borrowed from the Trade Federation's ideals and developed its own droid army. It then threw its support to Count Dooku and the Separatists, but chose not to become openly involved in the growing conflict with the Old Republic. (COD, APS, E2N, VD2, SWDB, UVG)

Commerce Guild Destroyer
This was the more common name for the Recusant-class light destroyer. (SSOG)

Commerce Raiders
This pirate gang terrorized the spacelanes of the Tatoo System, during the era of the Galactic Civil War. (SWGAL)

Commerce Way
This was the name of an avenue on Coruscant, after the New Republic re-established the planet as the central world of the Republic. (JE)

Commex
This was one of the many corporations that made up the Corporate Sector Authority, during the height of the New Order. (OWS)

Commission for the Preservation of the New Order
Formed by the Emperor Palpatine at the beginning of his reign, the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR, for short) was created to provide the galxay's idealistic youths a vehicle for removing the chaos of the Old Republic's death. Palpatine quickly saw the advantages of the youth movement during the height of the Clone Wars, when the group was first formed as the Commission for the Protection of the Republic. Palpatine began subtly twisting it to his own use, as a vehicle for instilling the basic tenets of the New Order into everyday galactic life. COMPNOR was championed by Crueya Vandron, who understood that getting a popular youth movement to support the Empire would be a valuable tool for promoting the Empire's political agendas. COMPNOR was broken down into several key branches and divisions, each with its own infrastructure, and all answering to the Select Committee. (ISB, SWI70)

Commission for the Protection of the Republic
Known as COMPOR, this was the affiliation of teenagers who believed that the Old Republic should remain in control of the galaxy. COMPOR was formed during the early stages of the Clone Wars, and gained power as the Separatists fought harder with each battle. It was generally held that COMPOR's sole mission was to ensure that the galactic government ruled with a firm hand, so long as its will was imposed on lesser beings and not their own peoples. The group was one of the first to establish pro-human membership rules and discriminate against other races, although their motivations were based on the make-up of the Separatist leadership. COMPOR members saw that Muuns, Gossams, Neimoidians, and Geonosians were at the forefront of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, so these races became the object of their vehemence. When Chancellor Palpatine named himself Emperor, COMPOR followed close behind in its support, becoming COMPNOR, the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order. (SWI70, LEV, RC66)

Commission of Operations
This was one of the key divisions of the Imperial Security Bureau, during the height of the New Order. The Commission of Operations oversaw and coordinated the activities of the various Sector Offices of the ISB, ensuring that they were synchronized with the overall objectives of the Empire. (ISB)

Committee Against Non-Sentient Abuse
This group, formed during the last decades of the Old Republic, protested against the use of non-sentient beings in activities that did not require them. Shortly before the Clone Wars, they found an unlikely ally in the Biological Atheletes Union, during their protest against droid-based nuna-ball matches, (HNN5)

Committee for Interinstitutional Assistance
This branch of the University of Rudrig was established during the final years of the Old Republic to expand the university's campuses beyond Rudrig, in an effort to bring higher education to other parts of the Tion Hegemony. Their efforts to expand continued into the era of the New Order, although many pro-Imperial planetary governments tried to halt their efforts. (HSL)

Committee of Seven for Garosian Unification
Known as COSGU, this group of underground leaders formed shortly after the Empire took control of the planet Garos IV. Formed by Carl Barzon and Magir Paca, the seven-member group coordinated the resistance during the last years of the Galactic Civil War and until Garos IV was liberated. Among its initial membership were the elder Desto Mayda and Camron Gelorik. (SWJ1, SWJ5)

Committee to Reinstate Justice
This was the name given to the political movement that rose up in the wake of the arrests of Eritha, Alani, and Balog. It was established to ensure that the list of Absolute supporters was properly handled, as well as to ensure that the election of a new planetary governor was performed legally and fairly. (CTV)

Commodities Exchange Cathedral
Located in the city of New Escrow, on the planet Aargau, this was the headquarters of the Intergalactic Banking Clan during the last years of the Old Republic. (HNN5)

Commodore, The
This man was the leader of the BloodScar Pirates, during the height of the New Order. He operated the pirate gang from a base on Gepparin, in the Shelsha Sector of the galaxy. A small man who pampered himself with luxury, the Commodore was always surrounded by several bodyguards, even within his own chambers. He maintained a plush existence on Gepparin's otherwise cold surface, including a flotation-relaxation chamber and a full staff of chefs.

Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the Commodore was interrupted during one of his restorative treatments by one of his pirates, Tannis, who had returned from the Cavalcade. Tannis brought with him three Imperial agents in disguise: Mara Jade, Brock, and Gilling, who were investigating the treachery of Moff Glovstoak. They were posing a shipjackers who were looking to join the BloodScars. When pressed for information about his relationship to Caaldra, the Commodore explained that both he and Caaldra were working for the same patron, but would not reveal the patron's identity. Caaldra tried to expose Mara's identity as an Imperial agent, but she used his words to further twist the truth to force the Commodore's hand, while maintaining the secret that she was an Emperor's Hand.

After Brock and Gilling turned on Mara, the Commodore realized that she was something more than he believed. When the threatened to have her killed, Mara used her skills with the Force to defend herself. Still unaware of her true nature, the Commodore believed her to be a Jedi Knight, and did his best to escape from Gepparin while trying to eliminate her as an enemy. Unfortunately for the Commodore, he was also caught in the backblast, and the life was crushed out of his body by the explosion. (A)

Common Bantha
This was the largest, and most common, subspecies of bantha found on the planet Tatooine. This creature was known to the scientific community at bantha majorus. See Bantha for more information. (WSW, NEGA)

Common Charter
This document lays out the basic tenets and operational guidelines of the New Republic. A number of articles lay out the general statutes. Article Five describes the right of the Chief of State to declare a state of war against a known enemy. Leia Organa-Solo invoked this Article during the Black Fleet Crisis, forestalling the vote of recall against her during the Third Electoral and declaring war on the Yevetha. Article Nineteen indicates that any planet without a native population cannot be controlled by the Republic. Anyone can settle the planet without political affiliation. (TT)

Common Rancor
This was the used to describe the most common subspecies of rancor, native to planets such as Ottethan. While the common rancor grew to be more than five meters in height, it was dwarfed by the Dathomiran rancors. (NEGA)

Common Room of Honoghr
This was another term used to describe the Grand Dukha, found on the planet Honoghr. (DFR)

Common Tauntaun
Also known as the giant tauntaun, this was the most prevalent subspecies of tauntaun native to the planet Tatooine. (WSW)

Common Thranta
This was the only species of thranta to survive the destruction of the planet Alderaan. The reason for this was that it had been exported to the gas giant of Bespin, which was one of the few worlds where the common thranta actually survived away from Alderaan. A steel-gray creature with dappled dorsal pattern and a creamy-white underbelly, the common thranta had triangular wings and a hevay, four-lobed tail for stability. Because of its origins and current location, this thranta was sometimes called the Alderaan thranta or the Bespon thranta. It was the smallest of the four major subspecies of thranta, capable of carrying just a rider and passenger. (WSW)

Common Threads in Prophecies Recorded in the Symbology of Knotted Tassels
This was the title of the symposium that was sponsored by Doctor Heilan Rotham and the University of Pangalactic Cultural Studies, during the era of the Corellia-GA War, that brought together some of the galaxy's best khipulogists and fiber-record analysts to investigate the so-called Lorrd Artifact. Doctor Rotham had deciphered much of the message contained the tassels of the Lorrd Artifact, discovering what became known as the Prophecy of the Sith. However, she invited other professionals to analyze the tassels and provide their own translations and explanations, in an effort to better understand the artifact and its meaning. She also welcomed their assistance in understanding the parts of the Lorrd Artifact that had not yet been translated. (LF5)

Common Womp Rat
This was the name given to the largest subspecies of womp rats that were native to the planet Tatooine. Common womp rats were most often found in the region of Beggar's Canyon. (NEGA)

Commonality, The
This political alliance of nine sectors and their planets, including the worlds of the Vorzyd System, worked toward a common set of goals and needs during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Commonality was ruled from the planet Columex, which provided access to the nine sectors via the perlemian Trade Route. (RHD, GORW)

Commons, The
This wide, grass-filled park marked the very center of the city of Ussa, on the planet Bellassa. Its location near Bluestone Lake made The Commons the most accessible location within the Bluestone Lake District. During the last years of the Old Republic, The Commons was a beautiful place where the citizens of Ussa could meet and contemplate the possibilities for a peaceful existence. However, when the Empire took control of Bellassa during the months following the end of the Clone Wars, much of the greenery was pulled up and eliminated to make way for a garrison and governmental office space. (LJ1, LJ7)

Comm-terminal
This was a generic term used to describe any public access communications terminal. (CWTV22)

Communal Pool
This was the name of the monthly gathering of the Ergesh elders. The Communal Pool worked to establish the basic laws by which the Ergesh lived. (AE)

Communication Cartel
This was another name for the Hyper-Communications Cartel. (CWOC1)

Communication Module
This was another name for the protocol module that gave a protocol droid the ability to communicate in various languages. (SWSB, GG7)

Communication Wave Descrambler
This technology was developed by the military forces of the Galactic Alliance, during the years following the Swarm War. It allowed intelligence forces to unscramble the encrypted communications channels of an enemy force, giving them access to military and governmental communications. This technology was a closely-guarded secret, and it was feared that military advisors from The Confederation might have stolen the technology, during the conflict that grew from the Corellia-GA War. (LF6)

Communications Cable
This form of cable carried voice and data between two locations. Considered a precursor to the holonet transmissions of the modern era, comm cables were a point-to-point communications media. In order to talk to another person, one had to have a comm cable between their locations. An individual location might have had hundreds of comm cables running to other locations. (SOA)

Communications Circle
This section of the primary city on Kegan was dedicated to maintaining the communications network of the planet. It led into the Study Circle. (FFT)

Communicator mini-Droid
Known as a CmD, this small device was essentially a droid brain enclosed in a case with a detachable keyboard. They were used primarily as interface devices to other computers and droids, but they can also transmit and receive data from remote locations. With some programming, a CmD can be employed as a lock picker. All communication with the CmD was through the keyboard or a frequency-matched comlink, since the device had no audiomembrane or voice module. (TA)

Communit
This was one of the terms used to describe a standard comlink on the planet Cularin, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (NET2)

Community Heap
This was the name given to the collected pile of scavenged materials maintained by individual Jenet clans. (EGA)

Commuter
This Ubrikkian gravsled measured 3.5 meters in length. It was the basic commuter vehicle used by the Corporate Sector Authority, because it was cheap and reliable. It had room for a pilot and one passenger, and the cockpit was protected by a windscreen. It could also accommodate up to 250 kilograms of cargo. The Commuter found a niche on many backwater worlds, since it was considered stylish for a gravsled despite its cheap price. (CSA, AEG)

Commutrans
This form of urban transportation involves the use of repulsor-cars riding through transport tubes connected in a network that allows travel between many locations throughout a city. (ML)

Comm-vine
This was a slang term used the military officers of the Empire to describe the various communications channels that existed within the military. In general, the use of the term comm-vine indicated unofficial communications channels that carried information from being to being. (DSTR)

Comnet
This was a form of public-access communications system that was maintained by the Old Republic. Similar in many respects to the newsnets that provided continually-updated news reports, comnets allowed civilians across the galaxy to send and receive messages with beings on a nearby planet or across the galaxy. Communications droids equipped to handle the transmission of the messages kept smaller comnets in contact with the main network, and also helped with message routing and retransmission. Individuals wishing to send and receive messages often had to locate the nearest comnet kiosk, where they could enter their identification credentials and gain access to the network. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Emperor Palpatine eliminated government funding for comnets, claiming that the common citizen didn't need to pay taxes for excessive government programs. The reality, however, was that Palpatine wanted to eliminate as much of the communications infrastructure as he could, in order to take more control over the galaxy. (SWJ7, OWS)

ComOps
This was the common nickname used by New Republic naval personnel to describe a warship's communications operations crew. In addition to maintaining ship-to-ship communications within a battle group, ComOps was responsible for ensuring the security of all Republic communications, and verifying the validity of all incoming traffic. (LSSM)

Compact Assault Vehicle (CAV)
This was a generic term that was used to describe any small, single-person combat ship that used a repulsorlift, instead of wheels and treads, to move about. (ISB, DFR)

Compad
This was a specialized form of datapad that could interface directly with a computer system, often via a wireless network, so that the user could monitor things like inventories while on the move. (CN3)

Companion2000
This datapad was manufactured by MicroData. It was equipped with a Galactic Univeral Translator and Holistic Data Transfer software, and could hold up to five million DSUs worth of information. Like most datapads, the Companion2000 was also equipped with a recorder rod input port, a rechargeable power supply, a touch-pad display screen, and a computer interface port. (EGW)

Compare Storerooms
This was a mnemonic game favored by name protocol droids. (SOC)

Compart Corporation
This Bothan corporation was based on Kothlis, and was considered the industry in the mass-production of droid circuitry and components. Among the specialized technology produced by Compart was the delicate circuitry used to manufacture photoreceptors, as well as tiny servomechanics for use in the formation of finers and other fine manipulators. (SPG)

Compass Dance
This was a form of dance, developed on the planet Mirial, that honored the four points of the compass. (MJH)

Compass Star
This Galactic Alliance warship was one of many that saw action during the Second Battle of Fondor. The Compass Star was on duty when the Loyal Defender was attacked, and rushed in to help rescue her crew before the ship was destroyed. (LF8)

Compeer
This was the name given to the being who was in control of The Exchange, a vast criminal empire that flourished during the centuries leading up to the Great Sith War. (SWDB)

Compellor
This Imperial Interdictor-class cruiser was one of the first of its kind to be captured by the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. After studying the ship's systems, the Compellor was destroyed. (XVT)

Compensator Computer
A device which allows a starship's communications systems to build new circuits in case normal circuits were destroyed. It had been seen that they were useful to non-technical ship owners, but the more experienced technicians think their ability was overstated. (DFR)

CompForce
This was the military branch of COMPNOR, created to provide Emperor Palpatine with a loyal group of armed forces in the event that stormtroopers were unavailable. The formation of the CompForce branch came in the wake of the Clone Wars, when many former graduates of the SAGroups of the Commission for the Preservation of the Republic announced their support for the Empire. The actions of CompForce agents were monitored and directed by COMPNOR's Select Committee, and involved mission profiles such as observation and assault. (ISB, SWI84)

CompForce Observers
This was the term used to describe those COMPNOR members who served in the Department of Observations for the CompForce military organization. Ostensibly, Observers were dispatched to the field to observe how the Imperial war machine functioned on a day-to-day basis. In reality, these Observers were spies who kept detailed records of how Imperial military personnel were upholding the ideals of the New Order. It was said that the only individuals who didn't comprehend the role of the Observers were the members of the CompForce assault teams. Very few individuals made a career as an Observer, as most individuals chose to join the Imperial Security Bureau or another COMPNOR division after their tour of duty was completed. (ISB)

Complete History of Corvis Minor, The
This was the title of a multicard set of literature that, due to the nondescript history of Corvis Minor, was rarely read. One copy of this work was placed on every residential floor of the Imperial palace by Imperial agents, although the box containing the cards was empty. The box was used by the Imperials to hide a blaster, for use in an emergency. (TLC)

Compmatch
An upscale casino game. (RM)

COMPNOR
see Commission for the Preservation of the New Order. (ISB)

COMPNOR Regiment
This was the term used to describe any Imperial Army regiment that was made up of CompForce soldiers, and lacked any direct, supporting security platoon. The choice to eliminate the security platoon was made by the CompForce leader, who deemed that the additional forces only slowed down their regiment. This elitist stance led to many regular Army officers having little to no respect for their CompForce peers. (ISB)

COMPOR
This acronym was used to refer to the Commission for the Protection of the Republic. (SWI70, RC66)

Composite Armor
This form of body armor was created from special materials that allow for various combinations of weight and durability, depending on the exact composition of the armor itself. (SWGAL)

Composite Depositor
This construction device was used to combine various raw materials into a form of duracrete or other building material, then deposit into forms that were installed at the building site. (CN2)

Compound Flex-5
This was the brand name of Merr-Sonn Munitions' detonite gel, which was impregnated into plastic adhesive tape to form detonite tape. (ROE)

Compressed Energy Crystal
Often referred to as a CEC, this form of crystal was used to focus or condense light and energy, amplifying it and making it brighter or more intense. The focusing crystals used in lightsabers, or the crystal at the heart of a light sculpture, were examples of compressed energy crystals. (CN2)

Compression Blackout
This was a form of unconsciousness experienced by starfighter pilots who were unable to eject when their ships crashed into a solid surface. The combined effects of the crash and the subsequent compression of air contained within the cockpit rendered the pilot unconscious. The effect was similar to that of a concussion, and the compression blackout was rarely fatal. However, an unconscious pilot was unable to escape without assistance, and many pilots died when their ships exploded before they could be freed. (DN3)

Compression Controller
This device was used to manage how much air could be forced into an engine from its intake system. These devices were commonly found on swoops and other racing vehicles, where proper management of power was crucial to success. (OF)

Compton
This Imperial frigate was operative during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE, TIEP)

Computer Combat Predictor
This starship weapons system, developed by Imperial engineers in the decade after the death of Admiral Thrawn, was designed to assist a cloaked starship. At its most advanced design, a cloaking device hid a starship from outside view, but also left the starship blind as to its surroundings. Thus, if it was discovered while cloaked, a starship was unable to safely maneuver, let alone anticipate an attack. The Predictor was developed to assist in predicting the attack of incoming starfighters, interfacing with the weapons systems to fire autoamtically in a set pattern. Supreme Commander Pellaeon tested the initial version of the Predictor ten years after Thrawn's death, and found the system still lacking any true accuracy. (SOP)

Computer Mating Service
This Bith establishment, known as the CMS, was responsible for the matching of the DNA of prosective mates, in order to generate a series of child-patterns (or CPs) that projected the outcome of their union. This allowed Bith mates to create the best possible children, in an effort to ensure the continued existence of their race. (GG4, NEGA)

Computer Probe
Any device built to gain access to a computer system and probe it for information. Blue Max was built as a computer probe, in the hopes that he could penetrate the Corporate Sector Authority's databanks on Orron III and retrieve information on the missing people. (HSE)

Computer Spike
This was the generic term used to describe any device that was used to covertly gain access to information stored in a mainframe computer. These devices were programmed to gain access to data and then continually modify themselves to avoid detection. The problem with this technique was that the spike degraded in efficiency as it worked, until it had completely rewritten itself and it was completely useless. Each spike, therefore, could only be used once. (CFG)

Comra
This Outer Rim planet was the site of one of Talon Karrde's many communications relay stations, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was located in the area of the Outer Rim known to smugglers as the Dead Zone. (SQ)

Comran
One of the crewmen serving Captain Hajj aboard the Star of Empire, Comran was killed after the Systems Integration Manager program took control of the ship. As Hajj and his crew were climbing a gangway to reach the communications room, someone dropped a repulsor engine down the shaft. It struck Comran and carried him to his death at the bottom of the shatf. (GOF10)

Com-Repeater
This was the brand name of MicroThrust's advanced sensor scrambling device. (ROE)

Com-sat
This was a generic term used to describe any orbital communications satellite. (CWWS)

Com-Scan
A section of the Empire which deals with communications. A Com-Scan center was located in each Star Destroyer and all large Imperial warships, to facilitate the sharing of information during battle situations. (E5)

Com-Scan
This device was used to integrate and control the various communication and sensor systems of a given operation. A com-scan could be contained to a single vehicle, such as a ground-based military command speeder, or large enough to handle the systems of an entire planet. A com-scan unit was designed to continually monitor all its incoming system data, processing it and alerting organic personnel to and perceived danger or threat. (E5, EGW)

Comsig
This was a slang term used by Imperial military personnel to describe a communications signal. (DSTR)

ComTech Eavesdrop Protection Unit
A communications jamming pack developed by MicroThrust. The Alliance's Infiltrator units often modified these devices to broadcast a general presence of trouble in the area, without giving away a concrete position. (LCSB, TTSB)

Comtech Series IV
This compact speaker system, used in the production of stormtrooper helmets for the Empire, was equipped with a three-phase filter system that produced clear sound. (VD, OWS)

Comus
A member of the rebel underground in Il Avali, on Druckenwell, Comus was proficient at creating false identification for other members. He created Ids for Tinian I'att and Twilit Hearth to use when they got Tinian off Druckenwell following the deaths of Tinian's grandparents. (TFE)

Comwipe
This was a generic term used to describe any system that erased all records of communications that took place on a specific device. The regularly and scope of a comwipe was dependent upon the device and its storage capabilities. Simple devices did not store any data, and so did not require a comwipe. Other devices with internal memories maintained a record of incoming and outgoing communications for later reference, and could be comwiped manually or on a preset schedule. (CWWS)

Con Queecon
The phrase used by the Ranat race to describe themselves, it translates to "The Conquerors." (GG4)

Con Queecon, Nitram
This Ranat male eked out an existence on the floating city of Nub Saar, during the final decades of the Old Republic. In order to protect his meager holdings from being pillaged by thrill-seekers and curious adventurers, Nitram scrawled all manner of frightening graffiti on the walls of the city's abandoned buildings, warning trespassers of the "spirits of the lost." Any beings who chose to disregard the warnings scrawled on the walls was considered trouble, and Nitram went to great lengths to lure them into abandoned warehouses, where he trapped them and taunted them in order to scare them away.

When a group of freelance agents arrived on the city looking for a gang of Togorians who worked for the Fireclaw Horde, Nitram reluctantly gave them information on the Togorians' whereabouts, hoping to get rid of both groups once and for all. (JST2)

Cona
A planet in the Teke Ro system, Cona was the homeworld of the Arcona race. The planet had a warm, almost tropical, desert environment. Due to its lack of axial tilt, the environment was pretty much the same over the entire surface, and the temperate was moderated by a dense atmosphere and the continual swirls of planetary winds. However, this axial tilt caused two distinct ecosystems to evolve on the planet, ammonia jungles and arid deserts. The atmosphere of Cona had a high concentration of ammonia, and any oxygen to be found was locked in the bedrock of the planet's surface. Despite its tropical temperatures, much of Cona was considered a desert, since there was very little standing water found on the surface. Any liquid water found on the planet was collected and stored by the native plantlife in deep-set root systems. Therefore, the planet's primary sentient lifeform, the Arcona, survived in small comunities that harvested the plant pods for their water. Cona's ammonia-filled jungles were believed to have been the home to a group of Star Dragons.

Cona was originally discovered by a group of freelance mining entreprenuers who were lured to the planet by its abundant mineral resources. The planet's crust seemed to have an unlimited cache of minerals, and most mining operations were still active after many centuries of operation. Once knowledge of Cona's resources became known to the rest of the galaxy, the Arcona were able to secure membership in the Galactic Senate, and Cona joined the galactic community. (SCRE, GG4, GDV, NEGA, PH)

This Imperial Navy Captain was in command of the New Star when the frigate was hijacked by the crew of the Far Orbit, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (FOP)

Conc Rifle
This was a common nickname used to describe the Stouker Concussion Rifle. (RCTZ, DF2P)

ConCare
This was one of the galaxy's largest biotechnology companies, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Unlike other such companies, which specialized in trendy or popular markets, ConCare focused their efforts on improving the lives of the galaxy's senior citizens. ConCare was based on the planet Rothana. (LF2)

Concealer-class Prison Ship
Designed and manufactured by Sienar Fleet Systems, this 50-meter transport ship was developed for the movement of prisoners from one location to another. It required a crew of three, along with four gunners, to operate, and could transport up to 10 guards and sixty prisoners at a time. The cargo hold of the Concealer-class could accommodate up to 25 metric tons of cargo, and the ship was armed with four turret-mounted laser cannons. (FBS)

Concentrate Stick
This was a form of military ration that was developed for the clone troopers that made up the Grand Army of the Republic. Each small concentrate stick was stored in a sealed pouch, and could be eaten in seconds. However, a concentrate stick contained a day's worth of nutrients, allowing a trooper to remain somewhat healthy during a long mission. (CWTV14)

Concert of the Winds
This was the name given to the unusual music that was produced by the Cathedral of Winds, on the planet Vortex. When the hurricane season arrived on Vortex, the winds would whistle through the Cathedral's many holes and spires. The Vors flew about the structure, opening and closing doors and passageways while creating a unique, ever-changing musical experience. The music which was created was never the same twice, making the experience that much more memorable. The Concert of the Winds was silent during much of the New Order and the early years of the New Republic, in protest of Emperor Palpatine's subjugation of the galaxy. The Concert of the Winds was briefly silenced, some seven years after the Battle of Endor, when the Cathedral of Winds was destroyed in a starship accident that was part of Caridan Ambassador Furgan's plan to destroy the New Republic. However, the stoic Vors rebuilt the Cathedral, and the Concert was once again able to occur. Offworlders were also allowed to hear the concert again, once the Vors deemed that the New Republic was working to restore freedom to the galaxy. Recording of the Concert of the Winds was strictly forbidden, as no two concerts were ever the same, and the Vors wanted to preserve the natural aspects of the music. (DA, COTF, JASB, UANT)

Concertinium
This was a type of small, musical instrument. (POT)

Conclave on the Plight of the Refugees
This summit, held in the Government House of Ord Mantell, was convened by the New Republic to discuss ways in which the refugees fleeing the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy could be properly housed, fed, and relocated. (HT)

Conclave, The
This group of Ssi-ruuk held the spiritual power on their homeworld of Lwhekk. According to records, the Conclave had power equal to that of the Elders' Council in influencing the decisions of the Shreeftut. (TBSB, FH2, NEGA)

Concord Dawn
This semi-arid world was Jango Fett's home planet. It was also believed to have been Jaster Mereel's home planet. The people of Concord Dawn were found to have contributed a large portion of their genome to the modern-day Mandalorians, although the natives of Concord Dawn never actively settled the planet Mandalore. During the height of the New Republic, Concord Dawn had been settled by beings of many races, and had become known for its severe laws. Cheating, for example, was a capital offense that was punishable by death. (EGC, JFOS, DIV, SWI86)

Concordance of Fealty
This ancient Jedi pact was formed between two fellow Knights. It was invoked whenever two Knights were forced to exchange lightsabers while on a mission. This act alone spoke to the deep respect and trust that could form between them. However, the Concordance was completed whenever the two Knights returned the lightsabers to their rightful owners. During this time, each Knight promised their undying friendship and loyalty to each other. (ETM, OWS)

Concordat of Peace
This peace treaty was signed by Keral Longknife and Aron Peacebringer, uniting the human and T'Syriel populations of Shiva IV sometime before the Battle of Hoth. (MC53)

Concordia
This small, habitable moon, also known as the Concordian moon, orbited the planet Mandalore. Despite its proximity to Mandalore, Concordia remained separate from Mandalore's planetary government. A forested world, Concordia was scarred by strip mines that were constructed across its surface. It was believed that, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, the most violent members of Mandalorian society were exiled to Concordia, in order for the more peaceful factions to establish a connection to other planets in the sector. Some members of mainstream Mandalorian society even believed that the exiles had died out over time. However, Pre Vizsla had been slowly rebuilding the Death Watch, and was funded by Count Dooku and the Separatists as part of a plan to overthrow Duchess Satine Kryze and take control of Mandalore. (CWTV34, CWTV35)

Concordian
This was the term used to describe the human natives of the planet Concord Dawn. Because of their origins, the Concordians were considered part of the Mandalorian line. (LF5)

This was another name used to describe the moon Concordia, which orbited the planet Mandalore. (CWTV34)

Concorkill, Sweitt
This Vurk was a noted Senator, serving his homeworld of Sembla in the Galactic Senate during the last years of the Old Republic. Senator Concorkill was a member of the Delegation of the Two Thousand. Note that the Star Wars: Episode III Visual Dictionary indicates that Sweitt Concorkill was an Ongree. (OWS, VD3, CVD, WOTC, SWI85)

Concourse, The
This was the name of the main plaza of Darknon Station. It originally was several levels deep, but much of it was abandoned by the time of the Galactic Civil War. In its heyday, The Concourse was filled with lush gardens, and opened onto a variety of shops and businesses. (PSPG)

Concussion Beam Emitter
This small weapon produced a locallized concussion wave that bombarded a small area with hard-hitting waves of sound or pressure. These devices were often used in conjunction with other explosives, to augment an explosion or as a pre-explosive that could damage a solid material before the main explosion occurred. (CVD)

Concussion Bow
An ancient projectile weapon that uses a small concussion charge to impel a small, arrow-like projectile at a target. The stock of the weapon was rifle-shaped, and was used like a rifle. (DE2)

Concussion Charge
This was the generic term used to describe any explosive device which used intense, compressed sound waves to cause large amounts of damage. (MC41)

Concussion Missile
A detonation device which, although not as powerful as a proton torpedo, was much faster. They employ an armor-piercing tip mounted on a compact energy pack. This tip allows the missile to penetrate a ship's hull, while also serving to ignite the weapon's energy pack. Upon striking a target, an atom smasher was activated near the energy pack, imploding the atoms and generating a huge amount of energy and heat. This first melts the target, then explodes it. (E6, SWSB, DFR, SCRE)

Concussion Shielding
Another name for particle shielding. (CPL)

Concussion Sphere
An ancient form of projectile weapon, these bombs were the early counterparts of concussion missiles. (TOJC)

Condi
This man, a native of the planet Zoraster, was captured by a group of slavers led by krayn, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. He and a number of other slaves were pressed into guard duty aboard Krayn's starship, and were present when Krayn decided to ambush the Colicoid transports led by Anf Dec. When he learned that Obi-Wan Kenobi had infiltrated the slavers' ship, Condi and his fellow slaves threw down their weapons and agreed to help the Jedi. Unfortunately, Obi-Wan's ship was only a G-class shuttle borrowed from the Colicoids, just big enough himself and Anakin Skywalker. Condi agreed to ignore the Jedi's presence, and vowed to help his people escape. (JQ)

Condor
This MC40a was part of the Alliance's fleet, during the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Condor
This starfighter pilot served under Esege Tuketu as a K-wing bomber pilot. He was one of the many K-wing pilots who refused to attack Yevethan warships during the blockade of Doornik-319. He and the others believed that the pleas from Yevethan prisoners were, in fact, real. Unfortunately for the Republic, the pleas were perjured under the direction of Tal Fraan, and served to deter the Fifth Battle Group from destroying Yevethan ships. (SOL)

Condor
This was the codename of the Alliance's drop point, located in the M132L4 System, during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ14)

Conductor-class Transport
This was another name for the Conductor-class Short-haul Landing Craft, used by the forces of the Galactic Republic during the era of the Mandalorian Wars. (OWS)

Conduit Worm
This slug-like creature was named for the fact that it lived in the conduits used for routing electrical wire and optical fiber. An individual conduit worm lacked a true head, tail, or body core, instead being composed of component structures spread out along the wiring of their environment. The eyes of the conduit worm were held above the body on two stalks, and the worm lived by eating the metal and silicon in the cabling inside the conduits. Smaller beads of fiber stored energy like capacitors, while other beads created organic resistors that inhibited electrical flow to sensitive body parts. Feeler threads that grew from these organic resistor nodes could extend for hundreds of meters, seeking out new sources of power on which to feed. (HNN5, VD2, CVD)

Condular's Grand Astrocartographic Institute
This renowned school produced some of the galaxy's most talented galactic cartographers. (WOTC)

Cone Sock
This unusual garment was developed by Alyn Rae for use by the Gotal people. Made up of chemical-based fabric, the cone sock was designed to filter out the electromagnetic emissions that were present in one's immediate environment, while allowing other energy waves to pass through. This helped a Gotal exist in areas where droids or machines were at work, as the cone sock absorbed stray EM waves that would otherwise cause the Gotal pain and discomfort. Developed in the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, cone socks were expensive to produce, but many Gotals found the cost preferable to the pain they experienced without them. (NEGA)

Cone-dart
This form of tiny projectile weapon was designed to be launched through a blow-gun or similar, tube-like device. Named for its shape, a cone-dart was formed from a small, pointed head that was surrounded by a short skirt. The entire device was conical in shape, providing the cone-dart with aerodynamic stability. The head was often filled with poison or toxin that could swiftly bring down a large target. (LF3)

Confal
This Alliance Muurian transport was destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

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

Confederation Intelligence
This was the primary imtelligence-gathering agency of the military forces of The Confederation, established from the various agencies that made up The Confederation. Confederation Intelligence was not taken lightly, since it included the fames Bothan SpyNet. (LF6)

Confederation, The
This was the name adopted by the members of the original Corellian Confederation, after the Bothans chafed at the fact that they had helped Corellia gain it independence, some ten year after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The member systems agreed to this change, and set up a secret meeting on Gilatter Eight to meet face-to-face and hammer out more details of membership. Among the primary considerations for this meeting was the election of a Supreme Commander of The Confederation's military forces.

Word of the meeting eventually leaked out, and the Galactic Alliance was able to muster the Ninth Fleet in order to launch its own attack on the meeting. However, Confederation forcers were able to ambush the Alliance's forces, and both sides fought to a bloody draw. In the aftermath, both sides claimed victory, although The Confederation fared much better in the popular opinion. Many more star systems defected from the Galactic Alliance, many on principle alone, and joined The Confederation.

With its membership growing, the leaders of The Confederation began turning their attention toward the Core Worlds, in an effort to drive the Galactic Alliance away from Coruscant. Huttese and Commenorian forces attacked Balmorra, as part of a feint that was meant to draw Alliance forces away from The Confederation's true target: the shipyard of Kuat. Thanks to a premonition seen through the Force, Jacen Solo was able to discern the battle plans of The Confederation. The Corellian-Bothan strike at the planet Kuat was met with stern opposition from Alliance forces, although many in the command structure of the Alliance questioned Jacen Solo's motives for continuing to attack Confederation warships after the battle was won. (LF4, LF6)

Confederene
This was the governing body of the planet Isht. (VOF)

Conference of Uncommitted Worlds
Held on Kabal, this was a meeting of the neutral worlds during the Galactic Civil War. (CSW)

Confessor's Whip
This was one of the five traditional Geonosian weapons that made up the petranaki array. This three-tailed whip was used to debilitate an opponent, as its barbed tips were often coated with a nerve toxin. The toxin entered the bloodstream of an opponent through the vicious lacerations caused by the barbs, where it temporarily slowed the opponent's reflexes. (GORW)

Confetti Effects Module
This droid effects module expelled wads of confetti into the air near the droid, creating a colorful display of particles of varying shapes and sizes. (SWG2P)

This was a first-hand account of the events that surrounded the Great Droid Revolution on Coruscant, some 4,015 years before the Battle of Yavin. (NEGD)

Conform Seating
This was a type of form-chair that was used to create seating on some of the galaxy's most expensive starships. Conform seating usually combined deep-plush fabrics and coverings to augment the self-conforming cushions and backrests, making the furniture even more luxurious and comfortable. The use of conform seating also allowed manufacturers to produce a few standard designs, which could conform to the body shapes of a variety of races and species. (LJ10)

Conform-Foam
This material was used to form bedrolls and temporary furniture, as it quickly conformed to a being's physical shape and supported their body. (SSR)

This small device was used to hide the presence of weaponry from most scanners. A being could carry a small confounder unit in a bag or pocket, and it would mask the presence of a blaster from a normal weapons scanner. (CN1)

Congene
This was one of the former names of the Star Morning. (SOL)

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

Congress of Malastare
This was governing body of the Gran which controlled the planet Malastare during the last decades of the Old Republic. (IS1)

Conjo Fighter
A form of atmospheric fighter which was used by local militias during the height of the New Order, the Conjo was produced by Aratech as the Y41-C2LC Fighter. It measured fourteen meters in length, and was armed with a concussion missile launcher and a pair of laser cannons. The Y41-4LC version of the Conjo was similar in design, but was armed with four laser cannons. The Y41-T was known as the Conjo Trainer, and essentially a slower version of the base Y41-C2LC version. This craft was designed to purely atmosphereic flight, and was driven by a repulsorlift engine system. (TBSB)

Conjo Trainer
This version of the Conjo atmospheric fighter was known by the model number Y41-T. It was similar to the Y41-C2LC fighter, but was slower. (TBSB)

Conjob
This tall, lanky man served as the primary infochant aboard the Tanquilla Beach space station, during the early years of the New Republic. He made a regular living working at his flower stand, Conjob's Trifles, but he had a knack for locating truthful and pertinent information. Conjob was a native of the planet Siluria III, but was offworld when the Empire subjugated the planet and killed his family. For this reason, Conjob held personal support for the New Republic, and was honored when Kaiya Adrimetrum stopped at his flower shop during the FarStar's search for Moff Kentor Sarne. (DARK)

Conk Rifle
This was a generic term used to describe a concussion rifle. (RCHC)

Conkesta
This floating fortress was constructed deep within the clouds of the planet Genarius by the fallen Jedi Karae Nalvas, several years before Nub Saar was built. The fortress was located well below the altitude of Nub Saar, and never seemed to suffer the kind of radiation storms that eventually destroyed Nub Saar. The fortress was later destroyed by the Jedi of the Cularin System. Years later, the former Jedi Knight Dazen Mok theorized that Karae Nalvas had actually been assisted in building Conkesta by the dark force that destroyed Nub Saar. (LFCW)

Connection Trace
This was a method of determining a target's location by analyzing the strength and position of an incoming transmission. It was much easier to locate a target if the target was transmitting a signal, although a directed transmission can be used to locate the receiving end through various triangulations. (E1)

Conner Net
This device was essentially an electrically-charged metal mesh used to immobilze a target, and was available in a variety of shapes and sizes. Large Conner nets were used to detain starships, by dropping the net onto a ship and allowing the net to weld itself to their hulls and wreak havoc with the ship's electrical systems. Smaller nets could be placed in passageways and triggered with motion sensors to drop onto intruders. This was an effective, though much less humane, use of the technology. (TLC, VOF, OF)

Conner Ship Systems
This small corporation designed and manufactured conner nets during the height of the New Order. (TTSB)

Conners

Conniver Sisters One and Two, The
This was the nickname used by Han Solo to describe Admirals Daala and Cha Niathal, after they fled from the aftermath of the Second Battle of Fondor. Both Admirals re-appeared a few weeks later, appearing to be working together when their fleets dropped out of hyperspace near the Roche Asteroid Field. The Imperial Remnant had taken control of the asteroids, but was being attacked by both the Jedi Order and the Mandalorians, and the fleets of Daala and Niathal just waited on the fringes. (LF9)

Conno
This young Ghostling child was captured, along with Princess Arawynne, by Djas Puhr and brought to Mos Espa to be sold as a slave. Conno was just five years old at the time. (E1A5)

Conor
This Imperial trooper served under Administrator Brago, after Brago replaced Fuguee at the Kline Colony outpost. In reality, Conor was an Alliance agent named Urek who had infiltrated the colony after Brago's rise to power. It was Conor who supposedly shot down Daye Azur-Jamin's message pod, which told the Sunesi where to retrieve a cache of smuggled weapons. Urek later helped Daye and his companions escape from the colony's prison. (SWJ10)

Conqueror
This was one of the multitude of Imperial-class Star Destroyers which made up the Imperial Navy fleet, destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. Originally commanded by Admiral Quist, the Conqueror served for a brief time as Darth Vader's flagship, during the initial stages of his search for Luke Skywalker. The Conqueror was the first Imperial warship to reach Yavin 4 in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, and patrolled the Yavin System in hopes of capturing any Alliance starships. (XVT, 3D3)

Conqueror Assault Ship
This Surronian starship had an organic, streamlined shape. The overall design had a small pod in front for the bridge and command center, which was connected to a large, bulbous engine and power section by a thin neck. The Conqueror measures 28 meters in length, and the sleek, curving hull provides it with maneuverability that belies its size. It was armed with a pair of ion cannons mounted on the command section, and a turret-mounted double laser cannon. The Conquerer could transport up to 25 metric tons of cargo and a single passenger, in addition to its crew of a pilot and co-pilot. (EGV, PP, LF5)

Conqueror-fool
This was the derogatory nickname used by Kossak the Hutt to describe Xim the Despot, after Xim had finally been defeated at the Third Battle of Vontor and imprisoned. (NEGD)

Conquest
The Imperial Interdictor-class Cruiser which was patrolling the space near Ithor for smugglers, during the height of the New Order. It happened to discover the Ithorian culture and its knowledge of ecology, and obtained a vast base of knowledge from the Ithorians. Note that Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina describes the Conquest as an Imperial-class Star Destroyer under the command of Captain Alima. This fits in with the Star Wars: Customizable Card Game, which indicates that the Conquest was one of the two Star Destroyers which chased the Millennium Falcon from Mos Eisley. (SCRE, TME, CCG2, SWI95)

Conradek
This Snivvian word represented the number 5. (HNN5)

Conroy, Allyse
Moranda Savich used this pseudonym to get close to Hal Horn on Darkknell, during the search for the plans to the first Death Star. Horn had been wearing a Jostrian choke-collar, placed on his neck by Ysanne Isard, in order to guarantee his cooperation. Moranda and Garm Bel Iblis needed to get him free in order to get to the plans, so Moranda pretended to be Allyse and ran up to him in the middle of Xakrea. She flung her arms around his neck in a big hug, then secretly unlatched the collar. (TFNR)

Consolidated Learning Systems
This manufacturer specialized in the production of consumer electronics and appliances, during the era of the New Order. They also provided high-profile business and military computer systems. CLS was one of the many non-voting contributing sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. (CSA)

Consolidated Shipping
This was one of the largest intra-galactic shipping and transport operations in the galaxy, and was based in the Shelsha Sector of the galaxy during the height of the New Order. Most beings recognized its star-in-swirl logo, as Consolidated owned a large number of transport vessel that made regular runs to the sector's planets.

Because of its size, Consolidated Shipping found it easier to employ its own internal security force, rather than subcontract the work to another corporation. Consolidated Shipping Security was known for its no-nonsense approach, as many corporate rivals discovered when trying to gain a foothold in areas that Consolidated controlled. Consolidated also managed to convince the Empire that it didn't need any interference from Imperial overseers, allowing them to operate with minimal Imperial supervision. (A)

Consolidated Shipping Security
This was the corporate-owned security force that protected the assets of Consolidated Shipping, during the height of the New Order. The officers of Consolidated Security were considered to be among the best-trained and armed private forces in the galaxy. (A)

Consortium Navy
This was the formal name of the Hapan Navy. (DJ)

Consortium, The
This was one of the terms used to describe the criminal empire of Nirama, active in the Cularin System during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (WOTC)

Consorts' Sitting Room
This chamber was located in the Fountain Palace, on the planet Hapes. It was constructed as a place where male suitors could wait for meetings with the Queen Mother. (LF3)

Constable of Homunculi
A special Dark Side Adept, the Constable was the leader of the Emperor's Clone Keepers on Byss. (DESB)

Constancia
Luke Skywalker was ordered to transport Gamine to this ringed planet, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, in order to prevent an Imperial force from taking control of the planet. His ship was intercepted by Imperial forces just before reaching the planet, and he was forced to abandon it in order to survive. They were recovered by Sharlee, and hidden on Outpost 8, located in the planet's ring. The ring around Constancia was formed primarily from large chunks of ice and frozen debris. With the help of Luke and Han Solo, Constancia remained free from Imperial control. During the early years of the New Republic, a large population of Zeltrons relocated to Constancia, where they found empathically-stimulating pleasure in conversing with the native Constancians. (LAT1, GMR1)

Constancian
This was the name of the telepathic, humanoid race that was native to the planet Constancia. (GMR1)

Constant
This starship was part of the fleet commissioned by Queen Elsinore' den Tasia to carry explorers from Grizmallt to a new planet, accompanying the Beneficent Tasia on its final journey, many millennia before the Battle of Naboo. The colonists aboard the ships, which also included the Mother Vima, settled on the planet Naboo some 3,900 years before the Battle of Yavin. (GB)

Constant Industries
This small corporation provided security consulting services for large corporations and small governments during the last decades of the Old Republic. (LOJ)

Constellation Suite
This was one of the many luxurious conference rooms located within the Ulta Center, on the planet Rondai-2, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SOJ)

Constrainer
This Imperial Interdictor-class Cruiser was part of the fleet that was amassed by Grand Admiral Thrawn during the early years of the New Republic. It served as one of the many Interdictors used by Thrawn to draw Republic forces out of space just outside the Bilbringi System, during the events that led up to the Battle of Bilbringi. (DFR, TLC)

Constrictor
A corvette under the command of Warlord Zsinj. He dispatched it to protect the Night Caller during a raid on Talasea, but the New Republic and Wraith Squadron were waiting for them. As the Wraiths pummeled the Imperials, the crew of the Constrictor decided to surrender. (WS)

Constrictor
This Concealer-class prison ship was part of the Imperial fleet which was dispatched to Brak Sector, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. It made a regular run between Lish and Bacrana. (FBS)

Constrictor Cloth
This was a form of tight-fitting bandage that was developed during the Galactic Civil War. The primary use of constrictor cloth was to help keep a wounded limb from being further damaged due to excesssive movement, such as when a limb was injured in battle. (SWGAL)

Construction Crawler
A crane-like device which was used to perform maintenance on tall buildings. The crawler ran along a track that was mounted to the building, and as it moved along the track it worked. Crawlers could clean, fix, and modify the buildings they were attached to. (LO)

Construction Droid
These huge, forty-story tall machines were capable of demolishing old buildings in order to gather raw materials, synthesizing the materials into components, and then building structures from them. Most construction droids were built early in Emperor Palpatine's reign, in the wake of the destruction caused by the Battle of Coruscant, during the Clone Wars. Although most of these construction droids were developed to repair the damage to the planet's cityscape, many were dispatched to raze Old Republic architecture and erect huge edifices in honor of political leaders. In spite of their history, many construction droids were put to later use by the New Republic, during the reconstruction of of the city following the Galactic Civil War.

These droids were often equipped with implosion wrecking balls, plasma cutters, and huge shovels and hammers. Each droid was programmed to operate along a specific path, reducing everything it encountered to rubble that could be gathered and sorted by thousands of articulated limbs. This rubble was then smelted and reduced to its component elements in the nuclear furnaces buried inside the construction droid's body. These raw materials were sent on to processing plants within the droid, where nanodroids worked tireless to reduce the raw materials to the molecular level and create brand new construction materials. The construction materials were then assembled in the wake of the droid's path into new buildings by thousands of articulated limbs, based on preprogrammed designs.

Because of their size, and because of the awesome power required to keep their various systems running, construction droids were continually being maintained. Once a construction droid was started and sent on its way, operators were loathe to bring them to a halt before their assigned duties were complete, because it took several days to fully shut everything down, recalibrate the systems and their programming, and start the droid back up again. (DE1, JS, JASB, CN1)

Constructor Pods
These small, crablike ships were built by the Mon Calamari, and were used to build, maintain, and repair the star cruisers at the Mon Calamari orbital shipyards. (DA)

Consul
This was one of the many styles of lightsaber hilts that was common among the Jedi Knights who were trained by Luke Skywalker, during the height of the New Republic. The Consul was a stocky design, with a wide grip and equally wide emitter shroud. A knob-like power cell was located at the end of the hilt. (JKAP)

Consul360
This was one of the many variants to the standard 3PO-series protocol droid that was developed and manufactured by Cybot Galactica. The Consul360 was considered a boutique droid, aimed at a specific market. (NEGD)

Consular Branch
This branch of the Naboo Senate was responsible for ensuring working relationhips were developed and maintained with other planetary governments. (CN2)

Consular Ship
This was the generic term used to describe any starship that was registered to a member of the Imperial Senate, during the era of the New Order. These ships were immune to spaceport and deep-space inspections. When the Emperor dissolved the Senate, he took away the ability to register as a consular ship, thus eliminating any secrets. (E4, E4R)

Consular-class Space Cruiser
see Republic Cruiser; see also Corellian Space Cruiser (NEGV)

Consumart
This was Commenor's largest grocery store chain, during the year leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN5)

Consumer Automata
This Old Republic holographic magazine provided its readers with modern information on the development, manufacture, and maintenance of droids and other automata. (HNN5)

Contact-Code Red
This was a code signal used by the Imperial forces that occupied the planet Garos IV to describe an explosion or attack at an Imperial facility. (SWJ12, OWS)

Container Ship
Any of the huge supertransports utilizing standardized cargo containers to move huge amounts of cargo across the galaxy. These ships were very expensive and very slow, and require the use of a smaller transport ship to offload their cargo to its destination, since they were incapable of landing at any spaceport. There were various classes of container ship:

(XW, TIE, XWA)

Container Taint
This was a general name given to any disease or affliction that came from a being consuming spoiled or damaged foods or beverages. (GCG)

Container Transport
This was the generic term used to describe any starship designed to move various configurations of cargo containers. These 100-meter-long ships had a specialized central section that could grasp and hold several containers for movement to and from storage. These vessels were rated at 30 MGLT, and were unarmed and minimally shielded. (TSC)

Containment Bubble
A starfighter life-support system, the containment bubble was activated whenever a cockpit breach was detected. Using force fields, the bubble surrounds the pilot with a small envelope of breathable air that matches the shape of the cockpit. The containment bubble was incapable of protection against full vacuum, but will allow a pilot to repair the damage to the cockpit and restore normal operations. It also had a limited duration of about an hour, depending on the size of the power pack it was attached to. (IR)

Containment Track
This was the generic term used to describe any specially-designed track that was used to direct repulsor trains from one location to another. The containment track was mounted to a fixed surface, often the ground or a space station bulkhead, and arrayed so that repulsor trains could transport cargo and personnel from one place to another. The track itself generated a forcefield that ensured the cars of the train remained on the correct course behind the engines that pulled or pushed them along. (LF1)

Contel
An Imperial container transport operative during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Contempas
This was the Snivvian word for "cold." (HNN5)

Contemplanys Hermi
This Old Corellian phrase literally meant "meditative solitude." Garm Bel Iblis, while he was the Senator to the Old Republic from Corellia, used this phrase to describe the closing of the borders of the Corellian System, shortly before the Clone Wars. While not officially seceding from the Republic, Bel Iblis and Corellia had decided that they needed to withdraw from galactic political until the storm of separatism broke. (HNN4)

Contemplayns Hermi
This ancient clause of the consitution of the Old Republic allowed a planetary system to temporarily withdraw from the Republic, provided that adequate justification was given. The Corellian System invoked the Contemplayns Hermi clause 470 years before the Battle of Yavin, in an effort to obtain its full independence. (NECH)

Contemporary Galactic Architecture
A popular data-magazine published during the height of the New Order. (GMH)

Contender Squadron
This group of New Republic A-Wings served aboard the Allegiance during the defense of Adumar. (SOA)

Contest, The
This Silika battle of intestinal fortitude required that a challenger and his opponent consume a wide range of alcoholic beverages, with bets made at each round as to which contestant will pass out first. The challenger was allowed to choose the drinks, but was honor-bound to consume it the exact same way as his opponent. The rules of The Contest required that the loser accept his loss, and not take revenge on the victor. There was also a great deal of ceremony involved in the challenge, which each contestant had to follow or risk disqualification. (SWJ1)

Contingency Deployment Profile
This set of detailed instructions was provided to every clone trooper field officer deployed into battle during the Clone Wars. Stored on a datacard, the profile contained information on where and how to regroup in the event of a breakdown in the trooper's immediate command structure. This most often occurred when a control bunker or flagship was destroyed by Separatist forces, leaving the trooper without a commanding officer. (SWI70)

Contingency Orders for the Grand Army of the Republic: Order Initiation, Orders 1 Through 150
This document was produced by the leaders of the Galactic Republic and the Grand Army of the Republic to lay out the contingency orders for overall command of the GAR. There were 150 orders in all, covering all manner of situations in which military leaders might be removed from power. The official designation of this document was CO(CL) 56-95. Note that this document is described as CO(CL) 50-95 in Republic Commando: Order 66. As described in the varous orders, the Supreme Chancellor of the Old Republic was also the Supreme Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic. If the Chancellor were ever killed or badly injured, the vice chair of the Galactic Senate was charged with commanding the GAR until a successor was named for the Chancellor. Should the Chancellor be deemed unfit to continue as the commander of the GAR, the defense staff would assume command until a successor could be identified. The rules for identifying whether a Chancellor was still fit for duty as commander of the GAR were also laid out, making it clear when to act to replace him. These regulations also applied to any other being who was acting as the Supreme Commander, for those situations where the Chancellor was unable to carry out his duties. There were also rules and guidelines for eliminating the Jedi Knights who commanded GAR units, in case the Jedi changed alliances and joined the Separatists. (RCTC, RC66)

Continuing Medical Education
This was a series of classes and educational courses that were created by the Old Republic to ensure that the medical personnel assigned to military and governmental postings were kept up-to-date on the latest information and discoveries. Although the courses offered as part of the CME program were open to all, it usually required some form of approval or permission from a commanding officer to attend them. (MJH)

Continuity of Service
This was an unwritten law among the armed forces of the Empire, nearly a century after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The basic idea of continuity of service was that the son or daughter of a veteran solider was allowed to join their parent's old unit, provided that they passed basic training. (SWLN)

Continuum
This was the term used by the shadow lurkers to describe the netherworld in which they existed, following the destruction of their homeworld of Oblis, many millennia before the onset of the Clone Wars. The continuum seemed to be an out-of-phase realm of the Force, in which the spirits of the deceased Oblee existed as creatures of the shadows. However, maintaining their shadow forms proved to be taxing to the disembodied Oblee, who began to slowly die out. During their imprisonment within the Continuum, the scientist-philosophers of the Oblee came to realize that they had been tricked into using the Darkstaff to combat the shadowy creature that threatened Oblis. They also discovered that their imprisonment had something to do with three crystalline shards that were situated at specific locations in the continuum. The Priests of Nether discovered a way to bring living beings into the continuum, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, and used this as a way to communicate with others beings, in an effort to destroy the crystal shards and the Darkstaff and restore themselves to life. The Priests foresaw one of four distinct fates for their race, all tied to the shards and the weapon. A group of freelance agents who were working for Nirama managed to destroy the shards without harming the Oblee, freeing them from their imprisonment within the continuum. (BIT3)

Continuum Void
This tapcafe, located in the city of Xakrea on the planet Darkknell, was the place where Alliance agents planned to turn over the plans to the first Death Star to an aide of Garm Bel Iblis. After Bel Iblis was nearly killed in an explosion on Anchoron, he decided to travel to Darkknell and recover the plans himself. (TFNR)

Continuum Warp
This was the term used to describe the way in which the hyperspatial continuum was altered when a starship entered hyperspace. The ship's hyperdrive system monitored the warp, which had to remain stable throughout the ship's passage through hyperspace. It was known that flying through a nebula or other gaseous area while traveling in hyperspace created enough friction to alter or even destroy the continuum warp, which could violently force a reversion to realspace that often caused damage or destruction to the ship. (DN1)

Contispex
This man was voted into the position of Supreme Chancellor of the Old Republic, some 12,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Contispex was part of a theocratic sect that held certain alien races and religious to be suspect, and his election allowed him and his successors to wage a series of crusades against alien sects, all in the name of the Republic. In order to ensure Contispex was elevated to the position of Chancellor, agents of this theocratic sect worked behind the scenes to have Chancellor Pers'lya impeached. This devastating era of galactic history became known as the Pius Dea Period, and marked a time of intense tension between the human population of the Core Worlds and the predominantly non-human population of the Rimward regions. (NECH, OWS)

Contopault, Shep
This free trader and small-time criminal was a native of the planet Naboo. He was known to have several connections to a variety of crimelords, and was a known associate of Hesh Verbon. Despite his criminal background, Shep had given up his life of crime in an effort to form the Free Treader Association of Naboo, working with Verbon to develop an incentive program for Naboo merchants, hoping to induce more independent spacers to establish permanent bases at Kwilaan Starport. (SON)

Contraband Incorporated Transports
This was the unlikely name of a noted shipping operation, active in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWGAL)

Contract AA23
This was the title of the bounty designated as AA23, Cularin-404, which was taken out by Velin Wir against a group of freelance agents who worked in the Cularin System, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Wir had grown tired of the agents and their ability thwart the plans of the Metatheran Cartel, and wanted them catpured. He had his financial oversight expert, Hohn Ryntz, issue the bounty through official channels. However, shortly after the bounty was posted, the entire Cularin System disappeared, so no being could claim the bounty. Fortune Seekers Intergalactic Bounty Dispatch Service kept the bounty open, but because there were no agents to capture, nobody stepped up to claim it.

Unfortunately for the agents, the bounty offered by Contract AA23 continued to accrue funds, because Ryntz failed to cancel the contract when Cularin disappeared. Thus, when the system reappeared some ten years later, the bounty had grown to almost 500,000 credits. Ryntz, who was no longer employed by Velin Wir, set out to cancel the contract and spare the lives of the agents. However, the original contract required genetic material to validate the identity of the individual who tried to cancel it. Thus, Ryntz was forced to try entering the original authorization codes.

For their part in the matter, the Hutts who controlled the issuing of bounties agreed to suspend the bounty after Ryntz provided the correct codes, but refused to cancel it entirely without further deliberation. (AA23)

Contract Sabacc
This obscure form of sabacc was played by two teams of players. (BW)

Contracts Guild
This bounty hunters' brotherhood was formed on the planet Wroona. It was one of the less legitimate guilds targetted by Imperial Governor Norrin for elimination. (SWJ9)

Contrak
This Neimoidian word meant "contract" when translated into Basic. (GPB)

Control
This was the designation of one of the many Imperial CR-90 corvettes that were operative during the Galactic Civil War. The Control provided escort support for the TIE Bombers that were assigned to destroy the Alliance transports in the Axet group. (TIE, TIEP)

Control
This was Corran Horn's callsign, used when he was in command of Shocker Squadron during the defense and evacuation of the Jedi Knights' base on Eclipse. (SBS)

Control
The first of the Force skills which Jedi Knights were able to use, Control was an internal skill which can be used to recognize the Force in oneself and in the universe. (SWSB, IJ)

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

Control
This was the codename used Republic Intelligence agents to describe their immediate commanding officer. Very few agents actually knew the identity of their Control agent, although this did not stop them from relying almost totally on the guidance theyt received from Control. (CWNOP)

Control Box
This was another name for a caller, or owner - any device which can summon a droid that had been fitted with a restraining bolt. (MC1)

Control Brain Network
This was the heart of the Trade Federation's droid army. Contained in the massive bulk of a Federation droid control ship, the Control Brain Network coordinates the activities of all droids deployed by an invasion force. (X1)

Control Guide
This branch of the Keganite Enforcement Guides was charged with maintaining the order of the Learning Circle as well as the Relearning Circle. (FFT)

Control Leash
A device used by handlers of wild or dangerous species. It allows the handler to control their captives from a distance, administering controls and punishments without physical contact. (HSR)

Control Mind
A technique discovered by the Jedi Knights, in which the Force was used to take control os another person. It was considered a product of the Dark Side of the Force. (SWSB)

Control Zone
This cyborg prosthesis manufacturer produces limbs which were primarily used as weapons, such as the Repulse-hand. (CFG)

Controller FP
This was the designation of SoroSuub's premier force pike, originally developed for use by the Emperor's Royal Guards. At just seven kilograms in weight, the Controller FP was exceptionally easy to wield, and delivered an electric discharge that could literally destroy flesh. (ISB, NEGW)

Contruum
This planet, perhaps best known as the homeworld of Airen and Pash Cracken, was considered one of the most industrious and advanced planets in the Mid Rim. It was often said that Contruum was the most Core-like world outside of the Core Worlds. It was known for its ore-smelting plants and shipyards, yet its inhabitants also committed themselves to preserving its environmental beauty. The Contruum system was located a short hyperspace jump from the Permlemian Trade Route, and two jumps from the Hydian Way. It was somewhat surprising, then, that Contruum avoided the notice of the Yuuzhan Vong, and remained a free world throughout the aliens' invasion of the galaxy. However, that nearly changed some five years after the invasion began, when the Yuuzhan Vong tried to launch an attack on the Galactic Alliance's base on Mon Calamari. A third of the war fleet had secondary orders to break off their attack and subjugate Contruum, where minimal Alliance forces would be present. This plan was smashed when Zonama Sekot arrived in orbit near the planet Coruscant, forcing the Warmaster Nas Choka to recall all Yuuzhan Vong warships to defend their home base. (CRO, WG, UF)

Contruum Six
This planet was the sixth world in the Contruum System. A small, ice-covered world, Contruum Six supported a pari of major settlements. It was in the orbit of Contruum Six that the New Republic established a defense network of warships to protect the mainworld of Contruum, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (UF)

Contruum's Pride
This freighter was discovered by Rogue Squadron to be working with the Imperial ship Vengeance Derra IV on Mrisst. The two ships worked together to throw off pursuit while smuggling. It was identified as an Imperial ruse because freighters usually aren't named after virtues. Pash Cracken, also a native of Contruum, couldn't identify the ship. (WG)

Contulpit
This term from the Bocce langauge translated into Basic as "cockpit". (GPB)

Contumely Club
An eating and drinking establishment that caters strictly to non-humans. Droids were also excluded. (RPG)

Conus
This volcanic world was the third planet in the Geonosis System. It was orbited by four moons. (GORW)

Convarion, Ait
This Imperial Navy Captain served during the attacks at both Derra IV and Hoth before being given command of the Corrupter. As a Captain, Convarion was charged with terrorizing rebellious worlds in the Outer Rim. After the Battle of Endor, he aligned with Ysanne Isard and brought the Corrupter to Thyferra to help protect the Bacta Cartel. He was known as a cruel and calculating opponent who worked hard to end every engagement quickly, despite the odds against him. When Convarion failed to recapture the Xucphra Alazhi, Xucphra Meander, and Xucphra Rose from the Rogue Squadron, Isard demanded that he round up and execute the families of the Alazhi as a demonstration of her power and his allegiance. He balked, but Fliry Vorru saved him by having already done the job. The test was not forgotten, though, as Isard ordered Convarion to take the Thyferran Home Defense Corps and attack the settlement on Halanit. He died on the Corrupter when it was disabled by the Rogues over Alderaan's asteroid belt. The ship could not be saved before it drifted into the asteroids and was torn apart. (BW)

Con'varra
This seedy Twi'lek was outcast from his village on Ryloth, and given as a slave to Big Quince. Big Quince later gave Con'varra to his brother, Omze'kehr Kahr, as a present at the opening of Omze's Incredible Traveling Starport. Omze then freed Con'varra and paid for him to be trained by the galaxy's best slicers and forgers. Con'varra returned to Omze and set up Con'varra's Datawork Central aboard the converted bulk cruiser. (PSPG)

Con'varra's Datawork Central
Located aboard the converted cruiser known as Omze's Incredible Traveling Starport, this small business provided high-quality forgeries and computer slicing services to Omze'kehr Kahr's patrons. Run by the Twi'lek Con'varra, the operation boasted a huge computer system capable of producing exact duplicates of virtually any document. It was rumored that Omze sometimes sold information about the forgeries back to government officials, especially if the forging service was provided to a human. (PSPG)

Convention of Civilized Systems, The
This bills of rights was believed to have been enforceable during the final years of the Old Republic, although it was unclear which worlds had signed the bill into affect. Chairman Chi Cho of Pantora invoked the Convention of Civilized Systems when he tried to take control of Orto Plutonia from the Talz who lived there. (CWTV15)

Convergence Plaza
This was the central collection of governmental buildings found in the city of Downport, on the planet Kelada. The leaders of Kelada were Imperial supporters during the Galactic Civil War, and many of the governmental buildings served as Imperial offices as well. (GCG)

Conveyor Bridge
This was a form of transfer mechanism used to move cargo from one starship to another, especially on freighters and transports, whenever the two ships were in the vacuum of space. The conveyor bridge was essentially a framework that could be extended between the cargo hatches of both vessels. A wide belt was then stretched between them, on which the cargo was moved between ships. A tube-shaped force field was erected around the conveyor bridge, to keep in atmosphere if needed during the transfer. Along the bottom of the framework were several artificial gravity generators that kept the cargo on the belt as it moved along. (LSSM)

Convocation of Adepts
This was the body of leaders who governed the Chalactan Adepts. It was the Convocation of Adepts who decided which individuals obtained the Greater Mark of Illumination and joined the Adepts. (SHPT)

Coo
This was the Huttese word for "who." (GMR5)

Coo ya maya stupa
This Huttese declaration translated into Basic as "You are a weak-minded fool." (GPB)

COO-2180
This COO-series kitchen droid was programmed to cook a number of meals for a variety of races and cultures. It was stationed aboard the Jendirian Valley, the AA-9 freighter used by Anakin Skywalker and Padme' Amidala to return to Naboo, during the months leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. (OWS, NEGD, CHRN2)

COO-2180
This was another designation of the COO-series of culinary droids. (SWDT)

Cooha
This tall, avian predator evolved on the low-gravity world of Ganeid II. Standing nearly two meters tall, the cooha had a long spiked finger on each wing and a set of slashing teeth set in its beak for tearing flesh. (TBSB)

Cook Droid
This was the generic term used to describe any automaton that was designed to be abel to cook meals for its owner. (LJ5)

Cook Off
This was a slang term used by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe the act of detonating an explosive device in the air, before it hit the ground or its intended target. Although risky, "cooking off" created an concussive shock wave that often caused more damage to living beings than the debris and shrapnel created in an explosion. (RCTC)

Cool
This was a term used by many criminal and low-class being to describe the local police force. (CN2)

Cool Shot
One of the Millennium Falcon's false registrations. (RPG)

Cooler
This was a generic term used to describe any alcoholic beverage that was made with fruit juice or extract. These beverages were often lightly carbonated, to take away from the cloying sweetness of the juice. (CN1)

Coolie
This woman, one of Luke Skywalker's aunts, was noted for the fact that she never wanted to have a good time. (COJ)

Coolie
This was a slang term used by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe the lowest-ranking soldiers in the army. (RC66)

Cooling Station
This was the name of a series of automated drink dispensers, used in many bars and cantinas across the galaxy. These machines were loaded with a variety of alcoholic beverages and mixers, and were programmed to create in infinite variety of concoctions. (WSV)

Coolsap
This tree, native to the planet Gamorr, was known for its dense canopy of branches and leaves. (DW)

Coolth
This chemical was used to maintain the temperature of buildings which were constructed in desert environments. Coolth was pumped throughout the building's walls in a huge grid of thin pipes. As the cold coolth passed through the grid, it kept the interior walls of the building cool, while blocking the exterior heat from entering. (IWE1)

Coolth Suit
This was the name given to specialized environment suits that provided chilled air to the wearer. Often used on desert planets to accommodate off-worlders, coolth suits employed a system of pumps and channels to move pressurized coolth throughout the suit, thereby keeping the wearer cool in the extreme temperatures of the desert. The exterior surface of a coolth suit was often covered with reflective material, which helped to prevent heat from entering the suit.

These environment suits were quite bulky, since they were heavily insulated to keep the colder air inside. Although manufacturers claimed that the interior temperature could be fully regulated, many mass-produced versions worked almost too well, forcing the wearer to don insulating undegarments in order to avoid becoming too cold. (SWDB)

Coomb Spore
This form of bio-engineered spore was created by the Yuuzhan Vong. It was released to certain individuals within the New Republic, prior to the Vong's initial invasion into the known galaxy. In all but one case, the victim who took in the coomb spore died within days. Only Mara Jade Skywalker was able to resist the effects of the coomb spore, primarily through the concentrated use of the Force. Her survival was a source of frustration for the Yuuzhan Vong, especially its creator, Nom Anor, as it meant that the Jedi Knights were a much stronger foe than they had realized. A modified version of the coomb spore was planned for use, known as the bo'tous. (VP, HT)

Coomb Spore
Developed by Nom Anor and the Yuuzhan Vong, this virus breaks down the victim's molecular structure and causes a quick, horrible death. However, it was not communicable. Nom Anor had planned to use it on the humans of the galaxy, but could not develop a way to make the virus self-replicating, becoming more of a disease than a poisonous virus. The spores themselves were the favored food of the shlecho newt. Mara Jade had been infected with the spores, as Nom Anor tried to fathom the strength of the Jedi Knights. She survived for several months, using the Force to keep the disease at bay. (VP)

Coome, R'yet
This Exodeenian served as one of Exodeen's junior Senators to the New Republic, serving under M'yet Luure. He was actually the second junior Senator, but the explosion of specially-modified droids inside the Senate Assembly Chamber on Coruscant killed Luure and the first junior. R'yet then became the senior Senator, and was highly supportive of Meido during the investigation of the bombing. R'yet also questioned Leia Organa-Solo's role in the bombing. He was later elected to the Inner Council, following the series of elections which were to fill in those Senatorial positions left vacant by the bombing. (TNR)

Coomputu
This dry, frigid world was the fourth planet in the Garnib System. It had a single, small moon. (PG1)

Coona tee-tocky malia
This Huttese phrase translated roughly into Basic as "What took you so long?" (E1A14)

Coona tee-tocky malia?
This Huttese question translated into Basic as "What took you so long?" (GMR5)

Coop
This was a slang term used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe a group of Imperial personnel, who were often referred to as "chickens." (GG9)

Co-op Council
This was the primary governmental body formed by the natives of the planet Vernet. Its primary mission was to ensure the fair and equal treatment of the chorba farmers. The Council was also charged with setting prices for chorba. (SWJ15)

Cooperative Council of Independent Planetary Governments
Formed in the aftermath of the Diversity Alliance, this New Republic initiative was created from representatives from every species and every world known to the Republic. Its charter was based on the agreement that every member would work together for the good of all species and the detriment of none. (TEP)

Cooper's Swoopers
This swoop gang was founded by Cooper Dray on the planet Bescane. (SWJ9)

Coor, Ronet
This being represented his homeworld of Iseno in the Old Republic Senate, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The Senator later served on Chancellor Palpatine's Loyalist Committee. Unfortunately, Senator Coor was blamed - along with Senator Onaconda Farr - for the loss of the planet Duro and its shipyards to the Separatist forces under General Grievous, during the height of the Clone Wars. Investigation by the Senate Bureau of Intelligence discovered that warships had been dispatched from Iseno to protect Duro, but had been rerouted to protect Rodia instead. Initial thoughts were that the rerouting was a mistake, but the investigation clearly pointed to Senator Farr's role in trying to protect his homeworld. Senator Coor was forced to resign amidst the scandal, tendering his resignation and returning to Iseno in shame. (HNN4, SWI76)

Coordinated Bombing-Landing
This Imperial TIE Bomber flight tactic was developed by Captain Tomax Bren, during the subjugation of the planets in and around the Hook Nebula. (SWJ15, OWS)

Coordinated Galactic Time
Based on the current time on Coruscant, this was the basis for all timestamps throughout the galaxy. (IJ)

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

Coorr, Ronet
This diminutive man represented his homeworld of Iseno in the Galactic Senate of the Old Republic, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He served on the Loyalist Committee during the months leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. (HNN5, SWDB)

Coorta
This Sith devotee was behind the conspiracy to destroy the Peragus II mining operations, during the years following the Mandalorian Wars and the defeat of Darth Malak, nearly 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. He adopted the guise of a common miner in order to infiltrate the facility, although he was known for his contacts with the black market. (KOTOR2)

COO-series Cook Droid
This was a series of starship cookdroids that was produced by Industrial Automaton during the last decades of the Old Republic. These droids were vaguely humanoid in shape, and could perform virtually every duty required of them in the cramped galleys of starships. The thin body of the COO-series was supported by two legs that were equipped with magnetic-soled feet, but that was where any resemblance to most humanoids ended. The body of the COO-series was little more than a support beam for its six arms, three on each side of its body. Each of these arms was given a specific task that was part of the preparation and serving of a meal. The hands of these arms could be equipped with spatulas, forks, knives, spoons, whisks, miniature flame projectors, or manipulator fingers for delicate work, depending on the nature of the meals being prepared.

The base-model COO-series cook droid came pre-programmed with hundreds of recipes from the Humbarine Housekeepers HoloBook, most of which had changed little over the millennia since its first publication. However, despite the wide array of cooking-related activities the COO-series could perform, it was not provided with enough intelligence to learn new recipes, or to adapt existing recipes to diners' needs. In order to learn new recipes, the COO-series cook droid needed to have its software package replaced. Any changes to recipes that also required different utensils required a partial break-down of the droid, a fact that frustrated most starship captains.

Adding to this frustration was the fact that many COO-series droids tended to lie about their capabilities, especially in situations where the droid had passed from one owner to another. Many a meat-eating starship captain acquired a perfectly good COO-series cook droid, only to find out that the previous owner had been a strict vegetarian. Note that Star Wars Chronicles - The Prequels indicates that the COO-series cook droid was produced by Publictechnic. (VD2, NEGD, CHRN2)

Cop Ship
This was a slang term used by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe any speeder or vehicle that was owned and operated by a local police force. (RC66)

Copaani gaan, burc'ya?
This Mandalorian phrase translated into Basic as, "Need a hand, pal?" (PM)

Copaani geroy?
This Mandalorian question translated into Basic as "Do you want to play?". It referred to asking other to participate in sports or other games. (RCTC)

Copaani mirshmure'cye, vod?
This threatening Mandalorian phrase translated into Basic as "Are you looking for a smack in the face, mate?" (OWS)

Copaanir
This Mandalorian verb translated into Basic as "to want." (OWS)

Copad
This Mandalorian word translated into Basic as "ambition" or "desire." It stemmed from the verb copaanir. (OWS)

Copek
This was one of the most common Gungan surnames, taking from the father's side of the family. These surnames were not dropped, even after marriage. This name referred to a predator found in the watery core of the planet Naboo. (GCG)

Copek
This violent predator was one of several species that lived in the core waters of the planet Naboo. (GCG)

Cophrigin 5
During the height of Emperor Palpatine's Jedi Purge, the famed Dark Woman managed to hide on this mild, jungle-covered planet. Her location was discovered by a Sacorrian smuggler and relayed to the Emperor himself, who dispatched Darth Vader to execute her. (T1)

Copper Coast
This area of the planet Sriluur was the site of the planet's Imperial garrison during the Galactic Civil War. It was located on the Meirm Sea, and was named for the incredbily high concentration of copper in the sands and the surrounding ocean. Unlike the bleached-white sands that were found in every other seaside location on the planet, the Copper Coast had a ruddy color that comes from the natural copper. However, the high concentration of copper and other minerals in the sands and water was picked up in the early morning mists that blanket the coast, coating everything in sight - including the port of Meirm City - in a somewhat caustic fog. (SSR, SWJ6)

Copper League
This was one of the many wegsphere leagues which played in matches during the height of the New Order. (TBSB)

Copperline
This planet was overrun by pirates, during the early years of the New Order. The inhabitants of the planet were more than happy when Imperial forces arrived and eliminated the pirates, some two years after the end of the Clone Wars. Many young men and women quickly enlisted in the Imperial military, some out of gratitude, but more simply to get away from their homeworld. (A)

Copycat Pod
Designed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, this device was used as an electronic countermeasure by many starship pilots. When deployed on a smaller ship, the copycat pod sent out transponder signals identical to those of the parent vessel. An attacking Customs or police ship would follow the Copycat Pod's signal, hoping to board an offending vessel, only to discover that the real ship had escaped. (GFT)

Cor
This race of small felines was native to the jungles of the planet Gargolyn IV. They guarded their villages against invasion, and were aided in their defense by a huge creature that had been captured by an ancient Cor shaman. The beast once roamed the jungle and ravaged Cor settlements until the shaman bound the creature to the land itself. In reality, the Cor shaman was adept in the use of the light side of the Force, and future generations of Cor had enough sensitivity with the Force to keep the shaman's work vital. The beast was contained as long as the Cor didn't move from their villages, but when Karflo Corporation sought to move them out in order to build a new manufacturing plant, the beast was unleashed. It destroyed everything Karflo tried to do, until Karflo relented and allowed the Cors to return to their villages. (GMS)

Cor I System
This Tapani Sector star system was part of the holdings of House Barnaba during the New Order. (LOE)

Cor II System
This Tapani Sector star system was part of the holdings of House Barnaba during the New Order. (LOE)

Cor III System
This Tapani Sector star system was part of the holdings of House Barnaba during the New Order. (LOE)

Cor Lane
This was the name of the hyperspace route which connected the Cor star systems of Tapani Sector. (LOE)

Cora
This shellfish was distinguished by its large, bowl-shaped shell. Han Solo used cora shells to serve pudding to Princess Leia, while en route to Dathomir. (CPL)

Corado, Groos
This man was a friend and business associate of Senator Bail Organa, during the years following the Clone Wars. He was infatuated with Tasha Moore, although she rarely returned his attention. (RF2)

Coral
This Corellian transport ship was captured by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Coral Castle
This undersea castle, formed from generations of coral, was located on the Forest Moon of Endor. The Ewoks believed that the Coral Castle was the home of King Albo. (ECAR)

Coral City
This was one of the many floating cities erected in the oceans of the planet Mon Calamari. For many decades, Coral City was the planetary capital. It was here, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, that many New Republic Senators and leaders made their homes after Coruscant was captured. (SWSB, UF, GORW)

Coral Depths City
This was one of the major floating cities located on the planet Calamari. Like other major cities, Coral Depths was one of the locations attacked by three squadrons of TIE fighters, during Admiral Daala's attempt to draw the Calamarian defense away from its orbital shipyards, during the Second Battle of Calamari. (DA)

Coral Fin
This transport ship was piloted by the Priapulin Jedi Knight Charza Kwinn, during the evacuation of Montitia during the Extroin Minor Skirmishes. (GMR8)

Coral Moon
This was a name used by the Toydarians to describe the moon Rugosa, because most of the planet's surface was covered with dried coral formations that were exposed when the moon's water supplies dropped to minimal levels. (CWOC1, CWTV01)

Coral Pike
This form of pike, developed from a single strand of coral, was used as a ceremonial weapon by the Mon Calamari. (FH1)

Coral Vanda
A subocean luxury casino operated on Pantolomin, the Coral Vanda was known for its eight impressive casinos. Captain Hoffner ran the vessel during the early years of the New Republic, until Han Solo and Lando Calrissian tried to locate him. Niles Ferrier got to the ship first, and spirited Hoffner away. The ship, manufactured by the Pantolomin Shipwrights, had four upper casinos (the Kossi Room, the Tralla Room, the Deston Room, and the Brint Room, all named for Pantolomin's major land masses), an extensive passenger section, and four lower casinos (the Ventel Room, the Rugot Room, the Saffkin Room, and the Hassi Room). The walls of the Coral Vanda were lined with scarlet greel wood, and most of its gaming tables were inset with sanriv gemstones. Transparisteel viewports were everywhere, affording unobstructed views of the ocean. There were sixteen luxury suites and four "adventure rooms" that allowed the user to recreate exotic locations. The Coral Vanda could accommodate up to 600 passengers. (DFR, DFRSB, EGV)

Coralcraft
This was the term used by the Yuuzhan Vong to describe any personal, yorik-coral starship used by their leaders. (T)

Coralline
This beautiful stone, renowned for its sculptability, was found on the planet Hargeeva. (SWJ8)

Coralskipper
This form of Yuuzhan Vong starfighter was created from yorik coral in much the same way as a worldship, only on a much smaller scale. Known to the Yuuzhan Vong as a yorik-et, the coralskipper could perform a number of missions, including fighter cover for the worldships as well as maintaining the placement of the membranous organic sails used to propel them. Measuring about thirteen meters in length on average, the coralskippers were armed with volcano missile cannons, which it seemed to spit out of its hull. Later versions of the coralskipper were armed with a dovin basal, which could be used to protect the coralskipper or tear away an enemy ship's shields. Individual coralskippers could refuel and rearm themselves by "eating" rocks. The pilots of coralskippers were linked directly to their craft by another form of ooglith cloaker, one engineered to resist vacuum and provide life support to the pilot.

Individual coralskippers were originally created to act on the instructions of a yammosk, which could coordinate the attack patterns of a multitude of ships while monitorin the ebb and flow of a battle. However, when the New Republic began destroying yammosks as the first course of action in an engagement with the Yuuzhan Vong, coralskippers were gradually given over to living pilots. In this manner, a pilot could fly in concert with a yammosk controller, or independently if needed, allowing the Yuuzhan Vong to remain active in a firefight for longer periods of time. (VP, UF, SSOG)

Coraltree Basal
This unusual, coral-like plant was the baseline stock used to create slave seeds. (T)

Coramma, Mal
This male Chagrian worked as Black Sun's envoy to the smaller crimnal organizations found on the planet Coruscant, during the early years of the New Order. His primary duties were to ensure that lesser crimelords - among them, Beuga Odell and Quetemorr the Sub-Elder - didn't overstep their bounds and infringe upon Black Sun's activities and profits. After serving Prince Xizor, Coramma remained loyal to Black Sun and tried to support Savan's efforts to maintain control of the organization. However, her failure to maintain control led Coramma to flee Coruscant and go into hiding. For three years he waited, until the New Republic retook Coruscant from the Imperial forces that were struggling to hold it. Coramma then set out to round up other former Black Sun operatives, in an effort to restore the organization to its former glory. (CCW)

Corann
This industrialized world was located along the edge of the Core Worlds, and was a target of Separatist activities during the early stages of the Clone Wars. (SWRPG2)

Corasgh
An alien race living in the Koornacht Cluster, the Corasgh that lived there were exterminated during the Yevethan Great Purge. The Corasgh live in nests. (BTS, SOL)

Corazon, Rigis
This aspiring businessman purchased Cryseium Incorporated from Huegu Eib after the Empire rose to power. He grew the company into one of the leading food producers for the planet Demophon. This helped Rigis make a few enemies, and one of those enemies succeeded in murdering him in an attempt to rid Tyed Kant of Gryseium Incorporated. (SN)

Corazon, Sabel Axis
Rigis Corazon's daughter, she took over the Gryseium corporation when her father retired. She launched a furtive plan to undermine the competition on Tyed Kant, in order for Gryseium Incorporated to become a monolpolistic producer of food for Demophon and the surrounding systems. This plan, codenamed Mynock, was foiled by a group of Alliance operatives who were in the Demophon System just before the system's star exploded. (SN)

Corbantis
This New Republic battle cruiser was part of the primary fleet stationed at Durren. When Seti Ashgad instigated pirate attacks on Ampliquen during his attempt to gain control of the galaxy with Dzym, the Caelus and the Corbantis were dispatched to Ampliquen. Both ships were infected with the Death Seed plague by Ashgad's agents, and once the crews were killed the ships were disposed on on distant planets. The Corbantis was scuttled on Damonite Yors B, but seventeen crewmembers managed to stay alive by huddling near the reactor core. Despite the radiation sickness they were exposed to, the emissions from the damaged power core probably killed off the Death Seed plague and allowed them to survive until Han Solo and Lando Calrissian rescued them. (POT)

Corbett Cluster
This region of the galaxy was protected by the Solar Guards, during the final years of the Old Republic. (CN1)

Corbit, Jacen
This man was in charge of the Imperial Office of Criminal Investigations during the height of the New Order. He was ordered by Moff Landric to hunt down the thief known as the Tombat. Corbit brought in Zanza Gata to get the job done. (SWJ8)

Corbos
This desolate Outer Rim planet was the site of an experimental mining colony, established in the years following the death of Emperor Palpatine's clones at Byss. Attempts had been made to colonize the world for several thousand years, but all had failed. The weather on Corbos was extreme, and the ore-processing facility had to be established in low orbit in order to keep it from being destroyed by storms. This meant that the ores produced on Corbos generated very little profit for the miners. In what was known as the Black Rain season, the planet was drenched in a heavy, acidic rain that prohibits any outdoor work. It was here that the miners discovered a species of incredibly huge, Force-sensitive creatures that wiped out the entire population of 793 colonists and required several of the new Jedi Knights to defeat. Tionne discovered that the creature was a Leviathan of Corbos, one of the soldiers that had been created by the exiled Jedi who waged the war known as the Hundred-Year Darkness. Some 7,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, Corbos had been the site of the final battle of the Hundred-Year Darkness, in which the Jedi were ultimately victorious. The planet was orbited by two moons. (JAL, NECH)

CorChemCo
see Corellian Chemical Corporation (CSA)

Corckscrew, The
This winding network of undeground tunnels and caverns was located outside the city of Pilaan, on the planet Muunilinst. The Corckscrew was found on the plateau that marked the end of the Aliuun Gorge, and was part of a secret podracing course that was maintained by a group of wealthy Muuns. (RF1)

Corconnan, Jhorag
This man was known to his associates on the planet Tasariq as a purchasing agent working for a Corulag-based gem dealer. In reality, he was an Alliance Intelligence operative who was trying to organize a rebel cell on the planet. He worked constantly with the accounting droid A2-ZP, which was programmed as a security droid to protect Jhorag. (SWJ15)

Cordam, Jyss
This near-human computer technician worked for Ti'mere's InfoServices during the height of the New Order. He evolved to become one of Ti'mere's best businessmen, and was the primary focal point for the company's corporate customers. He was accompanied by an R2 unit which acted as his information repository and protection. (FBS)

Cord-class Starfighter
This starfighter was developed for the Old Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. (BF2)

Corde, Morrigan
This woman worked as a spy and special operations agent for the New Empire, during the decades prior to the Sith-Imperial War. She had been inactive for nearly twenty years when Nyna Calixte activated her, during the search for Cade Skywalker, some seven years after the Massacre at Ossus. Corde managed to track Skywalker to The Wheel, where she discovered that Jor Torlin was also looking for Skywalker. She hired a group of thugs to eliminate him, but the thugs turned on them, forcing Torlin and Corde to work together to escape from the gang. Torlin was angry to learn that Corde had set the whole thing up, as part of a plan to join forces in hunting down Skywalker. This forced Corde to gas him and render him unconscious, allowing her to carry him to a more neutral site to discuss their plans.

Much to Torlin's dismay, this neutral site turned out to be his personal starship, the Raider. While she understood that they couldn't locate Skywalker easily, Corde was surprised to learn that Gar Stazi and Mingo Bovark were meeting aboard The Wheel. They disrupted the negotiations between Stazi and Bovark by using Torlin's C.O.L.D. devices to take control of the diplomats' starships and fire on the other. The pair then agreed to travel to Ossus in search of Skywalker. Once they had landed, Torlin took the opportunity to shoot at Corde, hoping to eliminate her and save himself the trouble of dealing with her later. Unknown to Torlin, Corde had injected him with a slow-acting toxin that slowly rendered him incapacitated. She took his weapons and his supplies before leaving him to die.

On Ossus, Corde's memories came flooding back to her. She was forced to confront the truth, that she had once been in love with Kol Skywalker, and that she had given birth to Cade many years before. Her love affair with Kol had been explained to her Imperial superiors as an extended field assignment, and she was forced to leave them on Ossus in order to return to her job. As she had those many years ago, Corde chose to abandon Cade on Ossus, giving him a brief freedom from the Imperials. Thus, when Imperial Moff Morlish Veed offered to provide Corde with Yuuzhan Vong weapons for a mission to get Cade out of the Sith Temple on Coruscant, Corde accepted the mission, if only see her son be free again.

She recruited Cade's friends, Deliah Blue and Jariah Syn, hoping to use Syn's skills with Yuuzhan Vong technology to create spy drones to locate Cade's position and track his activities. She also contacted the Wookiee smuggler Chak'ka and his partner, Kee, knowing that Cade and his friends owed the smugglers a debt. In order to gain their confidence, Corde admitted that she was Cade's mother. Chak'ka backed up this story to Jariah Syn, who believed that she was lying. With the smugglers' help, Corde began planning their rescue mission. Their reconnaissance that was aided by the Yuuzhan Vong insects she had obtained from Moff Veed, which were modified by Syn. After several weeks, Corde decided that they had enough information to attempt the rescue. Their mission happened to coincide with Cade's own attempt to defeat the Sith and break free, making it that much easier to rescue him.

After Deliah and Syn rescued Cade, Corde chose to disappear into the undercity of Coruscant. She left Cade with the knowledge that she was his mother, but refused to tell him anything more. It was later discovered that Morrigan Corde was actually an alter ego used by Nyna Calixte. (SWLT, SWLC, SWLL)

Corde'
This woman served as one of Senator Padme' Amidala's handmaidens, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. She was part of the retinue chosen by Captain Panaka and his nephew, Typho, when Senator Amidala was to travel to Coruscant for the vote on the Military Creation Act. Corde' traveled aboard Padme's diplomatic starship, arriving on Coruscant with little announcement while Padme' arrived in a support ship. Unfortunately, Padme' had been targeted for assassination by Jango Fett and Zam Wesell. They had rigged the landing Senator's platform to explode, and Corde' was killed in the blast. She died knowing that Padme' was safe, and that her duty to Naboo had been fulfilled. (OWS, E2)

Cordel Cove
This was the name of the primary spaceport and city on the planet Neftali. It was located beneath Orane Mountain, on the thin strip of land which separated the Beija Seas and connected the Jhunia snow plains to the Yiulimar Fjords. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, the starport was owned by Abdi-Badawzi and operated by his daughter, Memcha-Badawzi. Memcha maintained a squadron of Whiphid guards for security purposes, led by Grenal. Cordel Cove was located near a volcanic flow which created uderground grottoes filled with hot springs, which attracted a large number of tourists. It was also the site of an annual swoopchasing race which was considered part of a galactic "triple crown" group of courses. (BSS)

Cordel Cove Winter Carnival
This annual event took place on the planet Neftali, and celebrated the beauty of the icy world. Swoopchasing, ice races, ice sculptures, and various sports highlighted the event, which was the largest such festival in the sector. (BSS)

Cordes
This planet was controlled by the Empire, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (RESB)

Cordgrass
This grass was native to the planet Kabal. It was distinguished by its durable, sinewy stalks, which could be used as rope. (GMR1)

Cordine
This medicine was often administered via a patch applied to the skin. It was prescribed for patients of Zithrom's Disease, to help hold off the degenerative effects of the disease. (TFE)

Cordioline Trehansicol
This chemical was used to combat infestations of insects such as metalmites. It was sold under the brand name CorTrehan. It must be laid out in such a way that the insects can move around it, but encounter it wherever they feed. The most often used pattern was a series of curlicues leading to a central food source. It had a thick, sweet-sour smell, and took almost two weeks to effectively kill off a metalmite brood. (VOF)

Cordoni, Hella
This cautious woman was a Chandrilan noble during the period leading up to the Battle of Naboo. She objected to her son Pellum's love affair with Remi Kellen of Corellia, but was unable to prevent their marriage. (SON)

Cordoni, Pellum
This young man was the son of Lady Hella Cordoni of Chandrila. Much to his mother's dismay, Pellum fell in love with Remi Kellen of Corellia. The pair was captured by a group of thugs during a vacation on Naboo, shortly after Pellum discovered the site of an ancient starport in the swamps of the planet. Pellum and Remi were eventually rescued by a team of freelance officers shortly after the Battle of Naboo. (SON)

Cordrazine
This drug was used in the operating room to "jump-start" a being's vital systems, in the event that surgery brought a being close to death. (MBS)

CorDuro Shipping
This interplanetary transportation corporation was contracted by the New Republic's Senate Select Committee for Refugees to deliver supplies to the refugee domes on the planet Duro, during the Yuuzhan Vong's invasion of the galaxy. Their headquarters were located on Duggan Station. It was later discovered that they were diverting shipments to the orbital cities instead of delivering them to the refugees, as part of a plan formed by the Duros High House which allowed the Vong to have the planet Duro in return for the freedom of one orbital city. CorDuro had been working to divert supplies to Bburru, and had been bribed by the Peace Brigade to sway the voting in the Duros High House. CorDuro had hoped to obtain advance warning of a Yuuzhan Vong attack on Duro from the Peace Brigade, which would allow them to escape the battle with one of the planet's orbital cities intact. As the plans moved forward, CorDuro moved from conspirator to collaborator, and agreed to help ship any captured refugees to Yuuzhan Vong detention camps. (BP)

Core Bank
see Bank of the Core (JQ9)

Core Bomb
This was a unique form of explosive, developed and used during the last decades of the Old Republic. In order to produce the most intense blast, core bombs employed a mixture of magnopium and ferrocongregate. Core bombs were so powerful that they required a high-power detonation device. In order to make the detonator small enough to hold in a being's hand, it had to be fashioned from chromium. Thus, chromium detonators were easily recognized as being paired with a core bomb. (TAE)

Core Classic
This was a term, used during the height of the Old Republic, to define the architectural style of the Core Worlds. (COD)

Core Construction
This Coruscant-based construction firm was actually a front for Black Sun. Although they produced quality buildings, Core Constructions often underbid the competition to win the contract, then had a series of cost overruns that simply fed credits into Black Sun's coffers. (SESB)

Core Conveyor
This auxiliary fleet transport vessel was part of the naval forces put together by the Old Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Core Conveyor was part of the 2nd Airborne Company of the 212th Attack Battalion, and saw action near Mirial just over a year after the Battle of Geonosis. (RCTC)

Core Courier Service
This delivery service, which promised on-time delivery to the various worlds of the Core, was one of several that helped private citizens send and receive messages, during the early days of the New Republic. Core Courier Service and other such operations filled the gap that was formed with the Empire eliminated government funding for comnets, effectively shutting down planet-to-planet communications for the common being. Courier services helped citizens get messages to friends and loved ones when there was no communications network in place. (TFE, SWJ7, OWS)

Core Drive
This musical style was popular among the youths of the galaxy, during the height of the New Order. (GMR6)

Core Fleet
This was the fleet of warships that protected Coruscant and the Core Worlds during the years leading up to the Sith-Imperial War. The Galactic Alliance maintained the fleet to protect the capital planet of the galaxy, especially when planets and star systems began seceding after the failure of the Ossus Project. When Admiral Piers Petan put plans in motion to capture or kill Imperial Emperor Roan Fel, it was the Core Fleet's commander, Admiral Gar Stazi, who refused to acknowledge Petan's eventual surrender to Morlish Veed. This ultimately allowed the fleet to survive the destruction of the Battle of Caamas. However, the Core Fleet was forced to abandon Coruscant in the wake of the fighting, and became known to many as the Alliance Remnant. During the years of Darth Krayt's rule of the galaxy, the surviving ships of the fleet were commanded by Admiral Stazi from his flagship, the Indomitable. Stazi staged hit-and-run attacks on both Sith and Imperial locations, hoping to obtain more ships and supplies for the dwindling Galactic Alliance forces. (SWLH, SWLI)

Core Foodstuffs
Primary food producers for the Core Worlds, they maintain a vast network of serf-like holdings to supply the huge quantities of food required by the Core's populace. (DESB)

Core Force
This was the main division of the Galactic Alliance's naval forces, during the Sith-Imperial War, some 100 years after the end of the Yuuzhan Vong conflict. (SWLB)

Core Founders
This was the term used to describe the collection of beings - most of them human - who established the collective governments of the Core Worlds, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. Coruscant and Kuat were among the worlds that were first heralded as part of the Core Worlds, and their place in galactic history became legendary. (SWDB)

Core Galaxy Systems
This corporation was one of the original shipwrights of the Old Republic, along with Alderaan Royal Engineers and Rendili StarDrive. A period of expansion occurred during the years leading up to the Great Sith War, when Core Galaxy Systems purchased several small starshipwrights to help expand its reach. Some 500 years before the Battle of Yavin, CGS was bought out by Kuat Drive Yards, and the name Core Galaxy Systems was retired. (EGV, SSOG)

Core Gladiator Walker League
This was the governing body that controlled all sanctioned gladiator walker contests held in the Core Worlds, during the height of the New Order. (GFT)

Core Guardian
This fleet auxiliary ship was part of the Galactic Republic's naval forces, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Core Conveyor was destroyed by Separatist warships nearly a year and a half after the Battle of Geonosis, during an unscheduled maintenance period. The ship's location was provided to the Separatists by Gurlanin insurgents, who were protesting the Galactic Senate's refusal to remove the human settlers from Qiilura. All 10,653 crew aboard were killed when the ship exploded, prompting the Senate to approve the use of lethal force in removing the humans from Qiilura. (RCTC)

Core Health and Life Insurance Consortium
This was one of the largest providers of personal life and health insurance in the galaxy. CH&L was formed before the onset of the Clone Wars, and remained in business well beyond the Yuuzhan Vong War. (MF)

This newsnet reported on the various business and industrial aspects of the Core Worlds, during the height of the New Order. (SWJ14)

Core Plaza
This open plaza was located in Galactic City, on the planet Coruscant, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (RC66)

Core Post
This was the official name used by scouts and explorers to denote the center of galactic government and, therefore, the official recognition of all claims. By default, Core Post was located on Coruscant, in Imperial City. (GG8)

Core Ship
This was the term given to the Lucrehulk-class LH-1740 cores of the Trade Federation's freighters. After the Trade Federation was defeated at the Battle of Naboo, it was ordered to eliminate a large portion of its war fleet. Coupled with the obvious flaw relying on a central Droid Control Ship, this forced the Federation to tinker with the design of the basic LH-3210 freighter. Appearing to disassemble large numbers of ships, the hoop-shaped freighters used by the Federation were actually modified so that the central sphere could detach. Since this sphere was the primary living area for the Neimoidians, a detachable core ship allowed them to move to and from a planet's surface with relative ease. It also allowed them to escape any damage which might have been caused in the circular arms of a freighter. (VD2, X2, NEGV, OWS)

Core Star Liners
One of the more prominent passenger transportation providers which plied the spacelanes of the Core Worlds during the Galactic Civil War. (SESB)

Core Systems
The Core Systems were those star systems located near the physical center of the known galaxy. Planets such as Coruscant make up this center of the galaxy, as defined by both the Republic and the Empire and the region which surrounded the Deep Core. Many historians and xenoarchaeologists believe that all human life in the galaxy evolved from a homeworld somewhere in the Core Systems - also known as the Core Worlds - although the exact location had never been found. (E4, DE1, SWJ7)

Core to Rim Shipping
This transport corporation was active during the height of the New Order. (FBS)

Core World Arms
An ancient weapons and personal protection systems manufacturer. (TOJC)

Core Worlds
Another name for the Core Systems, this area of the galaxy borders the Deep Core and contains some of the wealthiest and most populated worlds of the galaxy. Many historians and xenoarchaeologists believe that all human life in the galaxy evolved from a homeworld somewhere in the Core Worlds. Historians of the New Republic dismissed this as pro-Imperial propaganda, because the exact location of the birthplace of humanity was never found (EGP, SWJ7, GORW)

Core Worlds Consortium
This was an unofficial name given to the bloc of Senators and representatives from the Core Worlds, during the final decades of the Galactic Republic. Because the Core Worlds made up the largest population of the galaxy, the Core Worlds Consortium was generally regarded as the most powerful bloc of Senators in the government. Those planets that were located on the edges of the Core Worlds, near the border of the Inner or Mid Rims, often argued that they deserved more funding - and less taxation - than the innermost worlds of the Core, since these outer planets were the first line of defense for the entire Core. (CWWS)

Core Worlds Critics Association
This was the most influential body of media critics, active in the Core Worlds section of the galaxy during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN4)

Core Worlds Engineering
This large corporation produced some of the most luxurious skyhooks used on Coruscant. (SESB)

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

Core Worlds Travel Clearance
This document was required for starship captains during the height of the New Order, and provided documentation which indicated their permission to conduct spacefaring business in the Core. (PSPG)

Core Worlds Visa

Core, Edge, and Disc
This was one of Lando Calrissian's mystical references. (LCF)

Core, The
This was the name given to the planetary computer system that controlled the operations of the planet Raxus Prime. Originally programmed to handle the collection, transfer, and refinement of the various scrap materials that were deposited on the planet's surface, the Core soon became self-aware, and began consolidating its position on the planet. It directed the various maintenance and construction droids on the planet to build it a central chamber beneath the scrap. This roughly cone-shaped structure was formed from a metal frame that was covered with plastics and other materials. Inside, computer processors and storage systems of all varieties were linked together in an ever-expanding network, with new processors being added as they were discovered in the junkyard and repaired to working condition. This vast network of computing power and storage space allowed the Core to control nearly every aspect of the salvage operations on Raxus Prime, and to direct the activities of thousands of droids. It also gave the Core the chance to develop more and more intelligence, and to gather information from many sources to help it anticipate and adapt to changes.

Within its secure center, the Core appeared to be a massive bank of flickering computer screens. Because it was confined to its central structure, the Core used the various droids found on the planet as its eyes and ears. Droids of all kinds were fitted with transceiver systems that allowed them to report on the state of the junkyards that covered the planet, so that no location was left unobserved. These droids also served as the Core's primary defense system, since organic salvagers and poachers were continually trying to earn a profit by stealing what they could grab from the planet's scrap heaps.

The Core was later repogrammed by Imperial technicians when the Empire constructed a Star Destroyer shipyard in orbit around the planet. Instead of salvaging scrap for itself, the Core was directed to create projectiles of scrap that could be fired into orbit and recovered by the crew of the shipyards for further processing. This change in programming allowed the Core to realize that its goals were similar to those of Emperor Palpatine, although the Core believed that its own inorganic mind was much more capable of understanding and maintaining galactic domination than the living mind of the Emperor. It was during this time that the Core discovered its computer network was being hacked by the droid known as PROXY. The Core extended its control into the droid's brain, and commanded it to return to the Core's central location. There, PROXY was ordered to connect itself to the processor network and help the Core tap into Imperial networks, in an effort to gain a better understanding of the Empire's goals.

Because PROXY's systems also contained data on the missions of the Starkiller, the secret apprentice was forced to invade the Core's command center and recover PROXY. The Core called up PROXY's combat routines, as well as Imperial records, and gave the droid the appearance of Darth Maul before sending it prevent the Starkiller from causing further damage. However, the Core's immense computing power was no match for the Starkiller's command of the Force. After severing the connection between PROXY and the Core, the Starkiller sent Sith lightning deep into the Core's processor network, destroying components and erasing any possible information it might have collected about his mission. With a final burst of energy, the Starkiller wiped out the Core, rendering it utterly useless. (TFUN)

Corell
This was the name of the primary star in the Corellian System. (AC)

Corell Industries, Limited
This Corellian corporation provided shipping and transport services to the five planets in the Corellian System, during the decades leading up to the Clone Wars. The corporation was quite successful for about twelve years, until the Trade Federation rose to prominence and began to take over smaller shipping companies, or force them out of business all together. Without assistance from the Galactic Senate and the rest of the Republic, Corell Industries began to flounder as the Trade Federation horned in on its operations. Eventually, CI Limited was forced to file for bankruptcy, and sold off its fleet of freighters and transports in order to earn enough credits to pay its legal bills before closing its business completely. (MF)

Corellia
This planet, a world of a temperate ecology with many large oceans, was the homeworld of Han Solo and Garm Bel Iblis. The planet was located in the Corellian System, in the Corellian Sector of the galaxy, near the Core Worlds. In order to preserve its natural resources, many Corellia-based corporations constructed their facilities in space stations and other orbital facilities. This helped protect the environment, and kept the surface of the planet from being polluted by industrial waste and refuse. Corellia was once a democracy, in the days of Berethon e Solo, and reverted temporarily to a monarchy when Korol Solo tried to raise himself to kingship. Following Korol Solo's hanging, Corellia returned to being a republic, more than 206 years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War.

In the ensuing decades, Corellia became an introverted world, keeping mainly to intself and not getting involved with outside politics. During the height of the Clone Wars, Corellia was ostensibly aligned with the Old Republic, although many historians note that Corellia was actually opposed to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. After the end of the Galactic Civil War, Corellian nationalism began to grow. Thrackan Sal-Solo took advantage of this public change by trying not once, but several time, to secede Corellia from the galactic government.

Although he was assassinated some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, Sal-Solo's dream of Corellian independence came true when Corellian forces were augmented by warships from Bothawui and Commenor. This combined force defeated the Galactic Alliance fleet that was blockading the Corellian System, driving off the interlopers and finally freeing Corellia. With their new-found indepedenced and comradery resulted in the formation of the Corellian Confederacy, which later became known as simply The Confederacy. (E4, DFR, CPL, AC, SHPT, LF4, TFUN)

Corellia Engineering
This Corellian corporation mined ores and minerals from a variety of planets and systems near the Corellian Sector, during the Old Republic. Corellia Engineering was perhaps best-known for tis attempts to mine ores from Tatooine, which proved to have very few natural resources worths mining. (RESB)

Corellia for Corellians
This was the rallying cry of the Corellian people, when they chose to support Senator Garm Bel Iblis in his plan to secede from the Old Republic, just months before the onset of the Clone Wars. (NECH)

Corellia Mining Corporation
This was one of the many Corellian corporations that produced large vehicles, during the final years of the Old Republic. The Corellia Mining Corporation developed and manufactured the Mining Digger Crawler, which became better known as the sandcrawlers that were used by tribes of Jawas on Tatooine. (AEG, E4VG)

This was one of the many casinos located aboard the Star of Empire. The casino was decorated with Corellian art and artifacts, and a wall-sized projection screen supplied visitors with an orbital view of the planet Corellia at all times. (SFE)

Corellia Star
This YT-1300 stumbled upon the Imperial V38 development project late in the Galactic Civil War. Its crew was killed near the Dreighton Nebula, but not before they contacted a flight of Alliance B-Wings. The Alliance pilots were able to recover the freighter and discover more information on the V38 project. (RA2)

Corellia StarDrive
This corporation was formed by a former Corellian Engineering Corporation executive, and had an illustrious - though brief - history. Corellia StarDrive was founded about 1,000 years before the Great Sith War, and created civilian and military craft to rival CEC. In fact, the Old Republic Navy chose many CSD designs over CEC. This success was brought to a halt when a freak shuttle crash killed the entire CSD design team. The corporation never fully recovered from the loss, and was purchased by CEC about 2,000 years after its creation. (EGV)

Corellia Station
This space station, located in orbit around the planet Corellia, served as the base of operations for the Corellian Security Force's naval operations. (SWGAL)

Corellia Times
This was a major Corellian newsnet, active during the height of the New Order and available in a variety of languages. Feeds from the Corellia Times agency were available across the galaxy, in order to allow travelling Corellians to have the opportunity to receive news from their home system. Over time, readership expanded beyond the Corellians, giving the news agency a galaxy-wide circulation. (SWJ7, SWGAL)

Corellia-GA War
This was the most common name used to describe the hostilities that erupted between the Galactic Alliance and the planets of the Corellian System, some forty years after the Battle of Yavin. The initial stages of this was could be traced to Thrackan Sal-Solo's bid to secede Corellia from the Galactic Alliance in the wake of the Swarm War. Sal-Solo believed that the Galactic Alliance had done little to improve the standing of the Corellian System, and demanded that Corellia be given its freedom to pursue its own goals. The Galactic Alliance refused, stating that Corellia wanted all the benefits of membership in the GA without having to shoulder the responsibilities. Tensions on both sides of the conflict grew hotter, especially when Jacen Solo was placed in command of the Galactic Alliance Guard, and Corellians who were living on Coruscant were either forced to leave the planet or arrested as terrorists.

Years before the actual start of any fighting, Sal-Solo secretly began creating two fleets of military warships, at separate shipyards located in the Kiris Asteroid Cluster. He hoped to bring the new warships to bear against the Galactic Alliance, but their existence only served to draw the GA's attention to Corellia. Galactic Alliance forces blockaded the Corellian System, hoping to forestall any fighting, but were forced to withdraw to Tralus. There, a small battle was fought, in which the forces of the Galactic Alliance were driven off, but the end result only served to reinforce the Galactic Alliance's blockading fleet.

Many Corellian believed that Sal-Solo's assassination by Boba Fett and several unidentified agents would put an end to the conflict, but Dur Gejjen chose to prolong the hostilities, and even brought Sal-Solo's hidden fleets into the war, using them to bolster Corellia's defenses and sending a portion of the fleet to Hapes on a mission to assassinate the Queen Mother, Tenel Ka. This mission, which Gejjen hoped would draw the Hapes Consortium's potent naval forces over to the side of the Corellians, ultimately failed, forcing Gejjen and the Corellian High Cabinet to strip Wedge Antilles of his position and name Genna Delpin the Supreme Commander.

In the relative calm that followed the Hapes debacle, a strained stalemate ensued, with Galactic Alliance forces maintaining a far-reaching blockade, and Corellian forces patrolling the system within the blockade's boundaries. The conflict caused many races, including the Bothans, to demand Corellian independence, in the hopes that they might also gain their independence from the Galactic Alliance. These disgruntled systems joined Corellia in forming The Confederation, and allied themselves against the Galactic Alliance.

The third major conflict of the war, following Tralus and Hapes, occurred in orbit around Corellia itself, when Bothan and Commenorian forces combined to smash the GA blockade of the system. Historians marked this as the "end" of the Corellia-GA War, since the conflicts that followed were fought by the combined forces of The Confederation. Beginning with the Battle of Gilatter Eight, which was generally regarded as a draw, but was touted by The Confederation as a resounding victory, the conflict became known as the Alliance-Confederation War. (LF4, MF)

Corellian
This was the name given to the human inhabitants of Corellia. As a people, the Corellians were known as risk-takers, and it was often said that most Corellians had rocket fuel for blood. Corellians were extremely loyal to their families, a trait which often extended to their Drall and Selonia neighbors. Most Corellians appeared to be self-centered or disinterested, although these traits were usually thin masks which covered the natural Corellian intensity. The traditional Corellian wedding dress was green in color. Although most Corellians spoke the Basic language, their particular jargon was colored by the Old Corellian that was spoken by their ancestors. Corellian people were especially noted for their use of colorful language when cursing, combining vulgarity, obscenity, and blasphemy into a fluid form of expletive that was unmatched throughout the galaxy. (E4, RD, CCW, LSSM)

Corellian Ale
This full-bodied brew was produced on Corellia, and was a perfect pairing for Teltier Noodles. (GG9, SWGAL)

Corellian Arms
This minor weapons manufacturer was one of the smaller, independent subsidiaries of the Corellian Engineering Corporation. Corellian Arms produced the CR-2 blaster pistol during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SON, NEGW)

Corellian Assembly
This was the senatorial body that was established to guide the government of the Corellian System, in the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Representation on the Corellian Assembly was determined by popular vote. Membership in the Corellian Assembly was comprised of members from Corellia's three most prominent factions: the Democratic Alliance, the Corellian Liberal Front, and the Centerpoint Party. Additionally, independent representatives also gained seats in various elections. About ten years after the end of the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, the Corellian Assembly became the site of an intense political struggle, as representatives from the three major factions worked together to block the extremist actions of Thrackan Sal-Solo. Sal-Solo had threatened to go to war against the Galactic Alliance if Corellia wasn't allowed to pursue independence, a position that many observers believed would result huge losses for Corellia. When the Galactic Alliance set up a blockade around the Corellian System, many party members feared that Sal-Solo's efforts would result in hardship for the system. With Sal-Solo's assassination, however, the parties agreed to work together to create a coalition government. (LF2)

Corellian Assembly Building
This was the primary governmental building located in the city of Coronet, on Corellia, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Corellian Assembly met in the facility, which included the main senatorial chamber as well as offices for individual representatives. The sitting Corellian President also maintained a spacious office in the building. (LF2)

Corellian Baji Brigade War
This was the term used by Jedi General Bardan Jusik to describe one of the many battles of the Clone Wars. (RCTC)

Corellian Bloodstripes
This Corellian award was represented by a three-centimeter-wide broken stripe of piping that was sewn along the outer seams of a pair of trousers that were worn by the individual being recognized. There were two levels of bloodstripes that could be awarded, each distinguished by its color. The Second Class bloodstripe was gold and, although rarely given out, was the more common of the two awards. The First Class bloodstripe was red, and was usually awarded posthumously because of the exceptionally heroic and often fatal deeds required to earn it.

Most bloodstripes were earned for courage under fire, and the recipient was often recognized for simply being a human being who was in the right place at the right time, enduring unusual personal hardships to assist a fellow human being. Despite this high ideal, the wearer was not considered a superhero, just an individual who honored their debts and maintained their beliefs in a system of honor.

Han Solo was one of the few examples of a living Corellian who had earned First Class bloodstripes. He earned his Second Class bloodstripes for rescuing Chewbacca while still serving in the Imperial armed forces, but he never revealed the deed for which he was awarded the First Class bloodstripes. He preferred to wear the yellow stripes, in order to deflect the numberous inquiries about the First Class bloodstripes. (HSL, CSA, OWS)

Corellian Brand
This was one type of brandy that was created on the planet Corellia. (SWGAL)

Corellian Brandy
This Corellian spirit was used as the main ingredient in a Twistler. (DFR)

Corellian Buccaneer
This form of corvette was designed and manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, during the early years of the New Republic, and was based on the successful design of the CR90 corvette and other ships known as "blockade runners." The Buccaneer was armed with ten double turbolasers. (SWJ3)

Corellian Butterfly
This species of avian insect was native to the planet Corellia, and was noted for its rigid social structure. (GQRG)

Corellian Cafe
This bar and restaurant was located on Nar Shaddaa, during the height of the New Order. (THG)

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

Corellian Chemical Corporation
Known as CorChemCo, this leading producer of industrial chemicals was a subsidiary of Chiewab Amalgamated Pharmaceuticals Company. (CSA)

Corellian Clam
This species of mollusk was known to be extremely difficult to open. (SE)

Corellian Confederation
This was the term used by HoloNet news reporters to describe the alliance that was formed by the planets of the Corellian, Bothawui, and Commenor Systems, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Corellia had been trying to gain its independence for decades, in the wake of the Battle of Endor, but always managed to remain tied to thje current galactic government. However, when the Galactic Alliance refused to acknowledge Corellia's right to be free, tensions reached a climax. The GA accused Corellia of sending terrorists to Coruscant, and Corellia countered by claiming that the GA was applying undue oppression to the Corellian System.

Meanwhile, planets such as Bothawui and Commenor began to openly voice their support for Corellian independence, earning them the attention of the GA. The Bothans were loud enough that the GA blockaded their home system as well.

Unknown to all parties, the galactic situation was being manipulated by the Dark Lady of the Sith, Lumiya. It was Lumiya who freed Admiral Matric Klauskin and helped him get a Bothan war fleet past the blockade. This fleet was joined by Commenorian warships, and arrived at Corellia in full force. The combined fleet overpowered the Galactic Alliance's blockade fleet, forcing them to retreat to Coruscant. In the wake of this skirmish, the three planetary governments formed the so-called Corellian Confederacy and announced their independence from the Galactic Alliance.

The Confederation doubled in size shortly afterward, gaining the membership of Fondor, Bespin, and Adumar in short order. The addition of Fondor and Adumar gave the Confederation two of the Galactic Alliance's former shipyards and one of its primary munitions suppliers. This sudden growth sparked the Bothans to chafe at the fact that the Corellians had only gained their independence with Bothan - and Commenorian - help. Thus, the name of the fact was soon shortened to simply The Confederation. (LF4)

Corellian Consort
This Imperial Space Rescue Corps starship was known for its captain, Commander Everik Dondarvan. They held the records for most successful rescue operations (56) and the largest total number of persons rescued (543). (HR)

Corellian Crisis
Also known as the Corellian Incident, this was the period of history which occurred some eighteen years after the Battle of Yavin, during which time the Sacorriad Triad tried to take control of the Corellian Sector. (CCW)

Corellian Cross
A medal given by the Alliance to those starpilots who displayed bravery and selflessness in battle, the Corellian Cross was designed to commemorate the signing of the Corellian Treaty. This award was given to those Alliance starfighter pilots who completed their first tour of duty during the Galactic Civil War. (XW, XWP)

Corellian Defense Force
This was the name given to the quasi-military armed forces that guarded the planets of the Corellian Sector, during the decades following the Galactic Civil War. The CDF had many branches and divisions, all geared toward keeping the law in the Corellian Sector. The headquarters building of the CDF was located in Coronet, on the planet Corellia. In the wake of the Swarm War, the CDF became the primary military force in the system, and formed the majority of the military resources that served in the Corellia-GA War. The CDF was later added to the combined military force of The Confederation, during which time it was headed up by General Turr Phennir. (AC, LF1, LF7)

Corellian Desslin
This was a popular, personal starship, manufactued during the height of the New Order. (SWJ10)

Corellian Destroyer
This ancient projectile weapon was kept as a precious artifact by the Wookiees of Kerritamba Village for many centuries. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, the weapon was utterly inoperable, but it held a place of reverence among the Wookiees. (SWGAL)

Corellian Double-brandy
A twice-fermented version of the basic Corellian brandy. (RM)

Corellian Dreadnaught
This was the name given to the massive warships that were commissioned by Thrackan Sal-Solo, and built in secrecy at the Kiris Shipyards, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Corellian Dreadnaught had roughly twice the firepower of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, with its weapons systems arrayed across its ovate shape. This gave the vessel almost complete coverage with its weapons, resulting in very few blind or unprotected hull sections. (LF3)

Corellian Dreadnaughts
This was one of the less-experienced smashball teams of the Old Republic. Shortly before the Clone Wars, the Dreadnaughts were one of the first teams to allow the participation of non-human players, despite the sport's historically human teams. The Dreadnaughts were one of Han Solo's favorite smashball teams, though they were not a very good one during the early years of the New Republic. (COJ, HNN4)

Corellian Elite
This was a form of durasteel armor starship plating that was developed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Corellian Engineering Corporation
This corporation, widely regarded as the most reliable starship manufacturer in the galaxy, was an ancient corporation that grew over the millennia to become one of the three largest producers of starships, along with Kuat Drive Yards and Sienar Fleet Systems. While these other corporations contracted out large portions of their designs, CEC did much of its design and manufacturing of components in-house, allowing the corporation to eliminate the delays that were sometimes incurred during production. Additionally, CEC had the advantage of being successful in the civilian market, as well as the simple fact that Corellians were incredibly adept in the areas of starship design. Their military designs were also quite successful. CEC became one of the Corporate Sector Authority's original Contributing Sponsors when the New Order allowed the Authority to gain control of the Corporate Sector. (SCRE, SWSB, CSA, EGV, NEGW)

Corellian Fever
This mild form of fever was believed to have originated on the planet Corellia, although it struck children and young adults throughout the galaxy. (NET3)

Corellian Flame Miniatures
This form of Corellian art was often imitated, but never truly duplicated, despite the fact they were simply a combination of shaped transoptical fibers, light-producing plants, and Goorlish light sources. (DFR)

Corellian Gambit
This was a variation on the basic rules of sabacc, in which the four standard suits fit together in different patterns. The last hand of any match was unique in that one card - chosen by each player - could be locked in place before the cards were randomized a final time. (DA)

Corellian Gambit
This Corellia-based light hauler made regular runs during the height of the New Order. Shandy Fanaso commanded the ship for several years, making regular cargo runs. During a run from Eriadu to Panagrees, Fanaso was intercepted by Imperial Customs officer, Lieutenant Gallagane, who gave Fanaso a break when he discovered that Fanaso had forgotten to log Eriadu as his planet of origin. Fanaso apologized profusely, although he did not have to explain that his original cargo was delayed near Sukkult, so he had taken the Pangarees run in order to earn a few credits while waiting for the original cargo. After being stuck on Triton Besh for several weeks, Fanaso came up with a plan to use the Corellian Gambit as a mobile cabaret. He stocked the ship with all sorts of alcohol and games, and even hired an aging Twi'lek dancing girl, then set off to land on Triton Besh and provide on-ship entertainment for the spacers who were laid over on the moon. The enterprise turned out to be quite profitable, and Fanaso eventually sold the Corellian Gambit and used the profits to purchase a Whaladon-class container ship, which became known as Shandy's Pleasure Palace. (OWS)

Corellian Grass Snake
Native to Corellia, this was one of the most beautiful and deadly snakes found in the galaxy. (CCW)

Corellian Gunship
Designed and manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, the Corellian Gunship was actually the name applied to several distinct designs, including the DP20 frigate. The most common design associated with the name Corellian Gunship was a roughly cylindrical vessel that had a truncated cone-shaped cockpit that was connected to the central section by a stout tube. Another tube connected the central section to the engine compartment, which housed three sublight engines and the main hyperdrive. An expensive combat ship for its size and capabilities, the Corellian Gunship measured 120 meters in length, and was heavily armed with eight dual turbolaser batteries, six quad laser batteries, and four concussion missile tubes.

Most of the interior spaces aboard the ship were dedicated to its engines and weapons systems. The remainder of the ship barely accommodated the crew, and there was only hold space for 300 metrics tons of cargo. The weapons systems were not linked to the main bridge computers, nor were they capable of being fired in batteries, and had to be fired manually. Thus, the crew of forty-five officers and forty-six gunners had to work together to operate at maximum efficiency. Despite these and other perceived shortcomings, the Corellian Gunship remained in production for decades, until more adaptable and durable vessels were developed during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy.

Unlike other starships designed by CEC, the Corellian Gunship was not given any sort of modularity in its design, and it was not designed with a large number of optional features or modifications. It was developed specifically as a war vessel, a fact that allowed designers and engineers to focus on improving its durability and maneuverability instead of ways in which to make it adaptable. Due to its size, the Corellian Gunship was unable to enter a fight with larger capital ships without some level of support. However, a group of Corellian Gunships could provide escort support for a convoy. (RASB, TLC, SOG, SWDB, SSOG)

Corellian Heavy Lifter
Designed by the Alliance, this transport ship was based on the CR-90 corvette. The central section of the CR-90 was modifed to accommodate a pair of heavy clamps, which could be used to hold large cargoes for shipment. (FC)

Corellian High Command
This was the name used to describe the highest-ranking military officers and leaders who controlled the Corellian military forces, during the years following the Swarm War. After the assassination of Thrackan Sal-Solo, the Corellian High Command included the Five Worlds Prime Minister, Dur Gejjen, as well as Wedge Antilles, who was serving as the Supreme Commander of the Corellian naval forces. (LF3)

Corellian Home Fleet
This was the term used to describe the massive fleet that was assembled by Thrackan Sal-Solo, some ten years after the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Corellian Home Fleet was created to protect the space encompassed by the Corellian System and its five planets, during the time when Sal-Slo pressed strongly for Corellian independence from the Galactic Alliance. After Sal-Solo's assassination, command of the Corellian Home Fleet was passed to the minister of the military, Rorf Willems. (LF3)

Corellian Horticultural Digest
One of the leading journals on the cultivation and propagation of plants and flowers, this magazine was published in Coronet City. (IJ)

Corellian Incident
This was the historical term used to describe the secession of the Corellian Sector from the New Republic, when the Sacorrian Triad tried to assume control of the galaxy by unleashing the Starbuster Plot. This period was also referred to as the Corellian Crisis or the Corellian Insurrection. (SWDB, CCW, NECH)

Corellian Insurrection
see Corellian Incident (NECH)

Corellian Intelligence
This was the primary military intelligence agency in the Corellian System, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. During the years following the Swarm War, Corellian Intelligence became an intense rival of the Galactic Alliance Intelligence Service, as both groups tried to outmaneuver each other in an effort to gain an edge in the growing conflict between their governments. (LF4)

Corellian Interregnal
This period of galactic history occurred more than 12,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (OWS)

Corellian Inter-System Marketing Station
This was the general store and fueling depot owned by Jagged and Zena Antilles. It was destroyed by the Bonestar Pirates. (HXW)

Corellian Level 88
This was one of the many city levels found in the Corellian Sector of the moon Nar Shaddaa. (OWS)

Corellian Liberal Front
This was one of the many political factions that tried to influence the government of Corellia, in the years following the galaxy's war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Corellian Liberal Front was considered one of the primary parties that sat in opposition to Thrackan Sal-Solo's assumption of power in the Corellian System. Like the Democratic Alliance, the Corellian Liberation Front developed a strong following among the population, and held a large percentage of the seats on the Corellian Assembly. Members of the Corellian Liberal Front worked with their counterparts in the Democratic Alliance and the Centerpoint Party to block measures that were instituted by Sal-Solo and his cronies, using their influence in the government to hold off his more radical moves. Although none of the parties would admit it, they secretly agreed to work in a coalition government if Sal-Solo were ever to be "removed" from power. In the wake of Sal-Solo's assassination, the CLF and the Democratic Alliance established the groundwork for a new coalition government with Deputy President Vol Barad, with the Centerpoint Party serving in an advisory role. (LF2)

Corellian Limpet
This small mollusk was known to attach itself to a starship and multiply quickly. If left alone, the limpets would eventually clog exhaust nacelles. In addition, the mild acid they exuded to attach themselves to starship hulls eventually weakened the hull plating, which deteriorated the hull's integrity. (C)

Corellian Masternav, Incorporation
This Corellian corporation produced some of the galaxy's best astrogation maps during the New Order. (SSR)

Corellian Merchants' Guild
This was one of the largest private trade organizations in the galaxy. It was open to all native-born Corellians, as well as to owners and crews of Corellian-built starships. Many corporations elect a Corellian as their Chief Executives in order to gain access to the CMG's resources. The CMG will provide to its members a huge list of services, including information, trade contacts, repair facilities, messaging, and financial services. The CMG operates a multitude of Guildhouses throughout the galaxy. All were well-known for their services as temporary residences, clubs, and bars. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the CMG was banned from the Corporate Sector, although no formal reason was given for the ouster. (GG9, SWJ10)

Corellian Noale
This was a form of non-alcoholic ale that was brewed on the planet Corellia, during the final years of the Old Republic. (OF)

Corellian Overdrive
This phrase, sometimes used by Han Solo and Lando Calrissian, was used to denote the need to do whatever it took to complete a job. It ranges from finagling the rules to rearranging operational parameters, but doesn't mean cheating in an honest game. (E6R)

Corellian Quarter
This sector of Coruscant's Galactic City was populated almost exclusively by Corellian immigrants, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (LF2)

Corellian Queen
This luxury liner was considered something of a legend, during the height of the New Order. Catering to the needs and whims of the galaxy's super-elite, the Corellian Queen was as exclusive a ship as there ever was. Any beings who wished to book passage on the ship had to literally prove themselves to be worthy of her high-class restaurants and bars. Mere wealth meant nothing, aside from the fact that a being had to be exceptionally wealthy to afford the trip. Rumors told of a single drink in one of the Corellian Queen's bars costing more than a starship, and meals costing more than most multi-planet corporations. The ship was owned by the Nebula Line corporation. Several months after the Battle of Endor, word trickled down through many underworld newsnets that the itinerary of the Corellian Queen's next voyage would be sold to the highest bidder. Ostensibly coming from a routing clerk, the itinerary allowed a pirate gang the opportunity to plan out an ambush and steal from the wealthiest beings in the galaxy. However, the message was actually a ruse that was developed by the New Republic's military, with the help of Nebula Line, that was meant to trick the agents of Lord Shadowspawn into making the ambush. The plan turned out to be successful for the Republic, as they were able to gather data on Shadowspawn's TIE Defenders that traced them to a base on the planet Mindor. (LSSM)

Corellian Reserve
A vintage of whiskey fermented on Corellia. (TFNR)

Corellian Rum
This was a type of liquor fermented on the planet Corellia, created from sugar. (CPL)

Corellian Run
This hyperspace pathway was originally based on the planet Corellia, but was eventually extended to begin at Coruscant. During the era following the formation of the Old Republic, the Corellian Run was considered one of the borders of the area of the galaxy known as The Slice. It linked a group of trading worlds, from Duro outward to Anoat and Bespin, along which much of the galaxy's space traffic flows. The Duros had many maintenance stations located along the Spine. Among the other planets along the Spine were Froz and Nubia, passing by Tynna and Kalabra to Tatooine and Ryloth, with Rothana being located at the far end. Over time, this trade route was known by a number of different names, including the Corellian Run and the Corellian Spine Trade Route. During the months that followed the formation of the New Republic, Lord Shadowspawn and his minions terrorized the Corellian Run, striking like pirates to capture or destroy assets of the New Republic. Years later, during the middle stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, this trade route was ambushed by the alien invaders as they pushed toward the galactic core. (BP, SSOG, LSSM)

Corellian Sanctuary
Established on Coruscant, this small, domed building was designed to honor those Corellians who died off-world. Because the Diktat of Corellia would not allow members of the New Republic to land on the planet, natives who died while away from Corellia could not be repatriated. So, exiled Corellians built the Sanctuary to honor their dead and give them the next best thing to being buried on Corellia. These off-world Corellians ritually cremated their dead, then used industrial-grade compressors to compact the ashes into a synthetic diamond. The diamonds provided a form of immortality to the dead, and were placed in the black walls and ceiling of the Sanctuary to represent the stars in Corellia's sky. The Sanctuary was considered hallowed ground for many decades, until Thrackan Sal-Solo launched his final bid for Corellian independence, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. As the rift between the Galactic Alliance and the Corellian people grew, terrorism and acts of violence began to escalate. In a despicable act, a group of Coruscant-based vandals desecrated the Sanctuary, smashing plagues and stealing the diamonds from the walls. The HoloNet News and Entertainment agency reported that the vandalism was sparked by the explosion that destroyed The Elite hotel, which was attributed to Corellian terrorists. (BW, LF2)

Corellian Scavenge Rat
This large rodent, native to the city sewers of Corellia, was known for its ability to save nearly everything it couldn't eat. (MA)

Corellian Sea Ray
This aquatic ray was native to the planet Corellia. (ECH, XWN)

Corellian Sector
A group of 24 star systems, of which the Corellian System was the most important. The Corellian Sector was located within the area of the galaxy known as the Core Worlds. In general, it was an inward-looking group of systems. The sector was particularly introverted during and after the Galactic Civil War, when it did everything possible to stay out of the political and social upheaval. The planets and their inhabitants were labeled paranoid and distrustful because of their introversion. Much of this was attributed to the enforced laws of the old Empire, which demanded that the humans, Selonians, and Drall in the sector co-exist in relative peace, maintaining the outward appearance of cooperation. (AC, EGP)

Corellian Sector
This was one of busiest sectors of the Nar Shaddaa spaceport. (DE2, JS)

Corellian Sector Fleet
The warships of the Corellian Defense Forces' Space Defense Service. (AC)

Corellian Sector Newsfeed
This was the primary news network serving the Corellian Sector, during the height of the New Order. (SWJ10)

Corellian Security Force
Known as CorSec, this was the primary law enforcement agency on the planet Corellia during the New Order and the early years of the New Republic. Although ostensibly under the direct control of the Diktat, CorSec often acted independently. This allowed them to have jurisdiction over municipal police forces, as well as jurisdiction over certain parts of the Corellian System. This span of operation allowed CorSec officers to maintain a coordinated law enforcement system, and also reduced the bureaucracy involved in far-ranging investigations. Because of their loyalty and dedication to justice, many CorSec alumni became members of the Senate Guard of the Old Republic. During the reign of Emperor Palpatine, the leaders of CorSec ordered that their divisions accept the insertion of an Imperial Intelligance officer to monitor and coordinate activities with the local Imperial garrisons. After the Battle of Endor, the Diktat of Corellia broke from the New Republic, and transformed the force in the Public Safety Service. (TFE, IJ, HG)

Corellian Seed Poppers
This type of garnish was used to bring out the natural flavors of delicate foods. (SWJ12)

Corellian Shipbuilders Union
This was an affiliation of the various starship manfucaturing laborers who worked for Corellian interests. Like most unions, the CSU worked to ensure better wages and benefits for its members. During the Galactic Civil War, the CSU was a quiet supporter of the Alliance. (CRO)

Corellian Slavers Guild
This group of businessbeings plied the slave trade in the Outer Rim Territories and parts of Wild Space for many generations. Founded during the last century of the Old Republic by the Snow family, the Corellian Slavers Guild was passed from generation to generation like an inheritance, with men and women from each generation being trained to lead the guild. The guild expanded its operations during the final decades of the Old Republic, and supported the establishment of the Galactic Empire. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, the guild turned much of its activity toward disrupting the work of the New Republic, which it deemed was unfairly trying to curtail its operations. (UA)

Corellian Slip
This starfighter maneuver was an evasive countermaneuver that could be very dangerous for inexperienced pilots, but saved a number of skilled pilots in battle. Named for the belief that the manuever was originally performed by daring Corellian pilots, the Corellian Slip involved one starfighter or light vessel destroying another in combat. Often the attack run was a heads-on flight, with both ships aiming straight at the other's front end. Once it had destroyed the other ship, the attacking ship then flew through the debris field created by the damaged vessel. (CCG, LF1)

Corellian Space Cruiser
This Corellian Engineering Corporation starship was the precursor of the Republic Cruiser, the Corellian Gunship and the CR-90 corvette. Measuring 115 meters in length, the cruiser had three Dyne 577 sublight engines and a Longe Voltran Tri-arc CD-3.2 hyperdrive. It was produced without weaponry, since its primary market was to provide safe, dependable transport for diplomats and couriers. The Space Cruiser was also sold to wealthy civilians, which eventually led to the designation of the Republic Cruiser. Note that Star Wars: Empire - Alone Together depicts the Corellian Space Cruiser as similar in appearance to the SoroSuub PLY 3000 yacht. (X1, SOG, SWEAT)

Corellian Space Museum
Located in Corellia's capital city of Coronet, this museum was perhaps the best-known facility in which visitors could learn of the role played by Corellia and its inhabitants in the development of interstellar travel. An genuine copy of the ancient Corellian Treaty, marking the boundaries of The Slice, was housed in the museum. (CCW)

Corellian Supreme
This was an improved form of durasteel armor starship plating that was developed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Corellian System
This was the primary planetary system in the Corellian Sector. The Corellian System was an anomolous system in that it had five habitable planets orbiting the star Corell: Corellia, Drall, Selonia, Talus, and Tralus, which were together known as the Five Brothers. Some scientists and astrophysicists hypothesized that the system was "built" by a higher power, since the planets all had similar, strange orbits, and all supported life. These so-called Architects predated the Old Republic by an untold number of years, and were believed to have also created the Maw configuration of black holes. These theories gained a great deal of credence when planetary repulsors were found buried beneath the surface of each of the five planets, evidence that they might have been pulled into position with the assistance of the technology found on Centerpoint Station. The three primary species in the system - human, Drall, and Selonian - moved about quite a bit during the system's history, and all were equally at home on any of the five worlds. It was said that there were a million or more starship flights through the system every day, including civilian ships, commercial vessels, military ships, and independent craft. (AC, NECH, LF2)

Corellian System Meetings
This was the term used by historians to describe the series of discussions that led up to the signing of the Corellian Treaty, which united the early leaders of the Alliance to Restore the Republic against the Empire. (RASB)

Corellian Tanamen Fever
This flu-like illness was common on the planet Corellia. It was rarely fatal, especially if caught in its early stages. Even advanced stages can be treated with bacta and cured. Symptoms include high fever, extreme thirst, and loss of equilibrium. (TPS)

Corellian Task Force
This unit of the Galactic Alliance Second Fleet was sent to Corellia to blockade the system, during the opening stages of the Corella-GA War. Led by Admiral Matric Klauskin, the task force was put in place to ensure that no supply vessels could reach Corellia, in an effort to force the planetary government to abandon its plans for secession. Although the blockade proved to be largely successful, few beings realized that Admiral Klauskin had been under the control of the Dark Lady of the Sith, Lumiya, during much of the blockade. (LF4)

Corellian Technologies

Corellian Times
This was one of the best financial newsfeeds available in the galaxy, during the height of the New Order. (SWJ3)

Corellian Trade Spine
Also known as the Corellian Spine Trade Route, this hyperspace pathway was discovered during the millennium following the Great Sith War, and originated at the planet Corellia. It linked a group of trading worlds, from Duro outward to Anoat and Bespin, along which much of the galaxy's space traffic flows. The Duros had many maintenance stations located along the Spine. Among the other planets along the Spine were Froz and Nubia, passing by Tynna and Kalabra to Tatooine and Ryloth, with Rothana being located at the far end. During the middle stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, this trade route was ambushed by the invaders as they pushed toward the galactic core. (TLC, DA, BP, LFC, EVR, NECH, SSOG)

This small transportation company worked several Inner Rim spacelanes during the early years of the New Republic. (SWJ15)

Corellian Transport Services
Based on Corellia, this small business provided ground-based transportation across the planet's surface for both civilians and cargo, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (SBS)

Corellian Treaty
This ancient agreement established the boundaries of The Slice and the hyperspace travel routes within it, during the earliest periods of the Old Republic. The treaty virtually defined the limits of the Old Republic at that time, since most exploration was started from Corellia or Coruscant, and was limited to known hyperspace routes. (CCW)

Corellian Treaty
This was the name used by historians to describe the agreement which solidified the three major factions of the early resistance to the rule of Emperor Palaptine, paving the way for the formation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Bail Organa and Mon Mothma brought the three main resistance leaders together, and Garm Bel Iblis mediated the talks, which resulted in the common set of ideals which formed the Alliance. Senator Organa agreed to provide his family's wealth to fund the rebellion, while Senator Mothma agreed to bring in soldiers and other personnel, and Bel Iblis brought in the warships that were nevessary to fight the rebellion. It was believed that, because Bel Iblis was a Corellian, the document was called the Corellian Treaty. However, this often confused many Corellians, since the original Corellian Treaty was signed many thousands of years before the Galactic Civil War. Thus, it was more often referred to as the New Corellian Treaty. (RASB, DFR, CCW, NECH, TFUG)

Corellian Twister
This was the name of a mixed, alcoholic beverage that was believed to have originated on the planet Corellia. (TSK)

Corellian Twister, The

Corellian Whisky
This highly-intoxicating liquor was produced and sold almost exclusively in the Corellian System of the galaxy. Most of the Corellian Whisky found outside of Corellia was quite expensive, and was usually purchased and consumed for special occasions. (RPG, GG9, OWS)

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

Corellidyne Holographics
This Corellian company produced some of the galaxy's most advanced doubler suits. Note that The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology names this company Correlidyne Visuals. (GG10, NEGW)

Corestrike Hotel
Located in the boomtown of Corestrike, on the planet Chrona, this was the only hotel in the area which provided miners and visitors with their own rooms and real beds. (SWJ12)

Corestrike Rancor
This blaster carbine was developed and manufactured during the height of the New Order. (SWGAL)

Corewatch
This was the code name of an Alliance agent who worked deep undercover in the Core Worlds. Very few members of the Alliance knew about Corewatch, and the agent's presence may have dated back to the origin of the Alliance. In reality, Corewatch was Bonic Tarracus, and was know to many as an extremely reliable agent. His confidence - and the Alliance's confidence in him - was shattered when he was unable to recover the 177th Light Infantry team inserted to blow up a munitions depot. Corewatch went AWOL, but later returned to acive duty. However, his effectiveness was greatly diminshed, and many in the Alliance's command structure felt he had been co-opted by the Empire and forced into double-agent duty. It was even rumored that he had become Ars Dangor's personal valet, although this was never proven. (CRO)

Corey
This was one of the most common female names given to human children across the galaxy. (GCG)

Corey, Swilla
This petty thief was in the Mos Eisley Cantina when Ben Kenobi sliced off Ponda Baba's arm. Corey was born into slavery, and was seemingly freed when her Tarnab masters were attacked by Karazak slavers after landing on Tatooine. Corey fled the downed ship, taking odd jobs as a jerba handler for several moisture farmers in the Motesta Oasis settlement, until she earned enough to buy her own jerbas. She lost much of her herd during a sandstorm, and fled to Mos Eisley in order to avoid getting into trouble. It was there that she learned that several of her jerbas had been taken by Ketwol. She initially wanted to punish the Pacithhip for hie thievery, but later learned that Ketwol had taken the jerbas into his own ship during the storm and kept them healthy. He turned the creatures back over to Corey, who thanked Ketwol for his efforts. She then struck up a friendship with Ketwol, which lasted for many years. (CCG2, SWDB)

Cor'gril, Fiz
This Bith, known to his associates as Fizzi, felt that he was just another intelligent Bith, and left Clak'Dor VII to pursue a life among the stars. He took a number of somewhat disreputable jobs to get by, and picked up a great deal of knowledge about starships, business, and negotiation. About twenty years before the Battle of Hoth, Fizzi set up a starship dealership on Trevi IV. Hiring a Verpine named Garginoolaara to repair his starships, and taking a chance on Shanna Kinn to help him sell them, Fizzi had built one of the most affordable and dependable starship dealerships in the sector. Fizzi was known to his clients as a fair but demanding salesman, with a polite demeanor and a shrewd business mind. He prefers to let his clients browse rather than pushing a hard-sell on them, and was glad to take them on tours himself. (SWJ9)

Coriallis
Taryn Clancy and the Messenger fled from Coruscant with Del Sato and Colonel Bremen, hoping to get to this planet and send a message to the New Republic fleet before being captured by Imperial forces. (TFE, SWJ6)

Coric
This clone trooper was one of the multitude that participated in the Clone Wars, serving the 501st Clone Trooper Battalion of the Grand Army of the Republic. Known for his sense of humor, Sergeant Coric served as the battalion's field medic, under the command of Commander Rex and Anakin Skywalker. Coric's skills were required on many missions, including the capture of the planet Christophsis. Later, during the mission to rescue Rotta the Huttlet on Teth, Coric was injured while trying to prevent Asajj Ventress from capturing Skywalker. However, Coric was one of just six members of the 501st Torrent Company to survive the mission. Coric became the first member of a rebuilt Torrent Company, and he continued to serve under General Skywalker. When Skywalker was called away on other business, Torrent Company was assigned to the warship Leveler during its work-up cruise following a weapons refit. The shakedown mission turned into a rescue when the ship was diverted to locate and extract Intelligence agent Hallena Devis on JanFathal. Coric served as the team's shuttle pilot, carrying Torrent Company to the surface with Jedi Master Djinn Altis and Ahsoka Tano, and then awaiting their return. When only Ince returned with Agent Devis, Coric tried to remain in place at the extraction point, but Agent Devis ordered him to lift off and recover the other troopers in the field. (CWN, CWNOP)

Coridu
Meaning "enthralling", this was one of the most common names among Rodian females. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)

Cories, Niklas
This man, the son of a prominent Outer Rim businessman, was also a noted assassin during the early years of the New Order. He was known for his use of thermal detonators to eliminate his target, although the destruction caused by thermal detonators often made it unclear who his intended target actually was. He had a long-standing grudge against the Hutts, a situation which the Hutts returned by placing a number of contracts on his head. For many years, Cories was a member of the band Distraction, doing everything from hauling equipment to singing backup. Known as Aphus Polix to his bandmates, Cories satisfied his need for violence by placing small thermal detonators in the mosh pits around the stage. Their explosion was always blamed on the fans, and Cories was never discovered. All of this deception was aimed at one thing: revenge against Niklas' former girlfriend, Aquella Firth. She had rejected him as "too old and dangerous" several years ago, and Cories never forgot it. He saw his chance when Distraction played aboard the Sleemo Poya Jeedai, and arranged for Aquella to win tickets to the concert. Unknown to Cories, however, Quoltus Firth had been following his movements, and hired a group of freelance mercenaries to protect his daughter. Cories devised a devious plan to implicate Rossi Kildaon or Ushka Et in a series of subordinate murders, which would allow him to pose as Ushak Et so that he could kill Aquella. However, his drugging of the real Tzeel robbed him of his backbeat cues, and he couldn't sing the right words. The agents hired by Quoltus Firth realized the decetion and rushed the stage, capturing Cories and exposing his plans. Cories nearly had the last laugh, as he had planted more than thirty thermal detonators in the band's pyrotechnic displays. These were soon discovered and disarmed, and the agents turned Cories over to the Hutts to trial. (WOA28)

Cor'ika
This was a nickname used by the clone commandos of Omega Squad to describe their comrade, Corr. (RC66)

Corinathoth
This immense, reptilian beast was native to the rolling plains of the planet Maridun. These stout-bodied sauropods had scales that were covered with a mottled brown coloration, giving them excellent camouflage in the grasses and among the rocks. The thick neck of the corinathoth supported a tiny head, which was protected by two thick horns on the males of the species. The spine of a corinathoth was studded with short spikes, while its front shoulders were protected by four longer, heavier spikes. (SWELM)

Corint City
The capital city of the planet Pirik. It was divided into several districts, such as the Talamp Industrial sector and Lowtown. (SWJ10)

Corintium
This ore was mined on the planet Pirik. (SWJ10)

Corioline Marlee Theater
This Alderaanian theater was known for its grandeur and architectural design. (SOP)

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

Corjain
This planet was located in the Kathol Sector ofthe galaxy, just off the Trition Trade Route from Kolatill and Charis. A marginally habitabel planet that was rich with metals and ores, Corjain was extensively mined by a number of corporations. Several small communities of non-humans grew up around the mines, and the Bothans established a listening post on the planet early in the New Republic. (DARK)

Corkscrew Avoid
This was the Imperial term used to describe the Wotan Weave maneuver, which was a basic tactic that gave a starfighter pilot a chance to avoid an enemy fighter. (TIEP)

This planet's history was full of pirates who plied not only the spacelanes but the planet's oceanic shipping lanes. (SWJ5)

Corlax 4
This planet, the primary world in the Corlax System, was noted for its abundance of natural resources. During the height of the Clone Wars, nearly 300 million men, women, and children lived on the planet, most of them working as miners or other laborers. The planet was one of thousands that joined the Confedereacy of Independent Systems, and it became a prize among Separatist holdings because of its ability to produce the raw materials needed by the Separatist war machine. This, of course, brought the planet to the attention of the Supreme Chancellor, who ordered Jedi Master Darrus Jeht to eliminate the Separatist facilities on the planet. Jeht questioned the unorthodox nature of the mission, as the order came directly from Chancellor Palpatine's office. He also questioned the need to exterminate the population of the planet, but he agreed with its intent because he had seen Palpatine be correct in his assumption more often than not. (LFCW)

Corobb, Roron
This Ithorian Jedi Master was once the Padawan of Yarael Poof, who helped develop Corobb's already strong mental skills. His unusual, stereosonic voice, coupled with his strong connection to the Force, gave Master Corobb incredibly powers of persuasion, especially against the weak-minded. He could also use the Force to literally throw his voice, creating a form of sonic assault on an unsuspecting foe. Master Corobb agreed to take on the rank of General during the Clone Wars, commanding a group of clone troopers in battle while also trying to train his young Padawan, Drake Lo'gaan. Master Corobb was part of the task force that was dispatched to protect Chancellor Palpatine when General Grievous launched his attack on Coruscant. Unfortunately, Grievous was able to kill both Master Corobb and Master Foul Moudama before taking Palpatine hostage. This character was named in honor of Ron Cobb, who created the original designs used for the Ithorian alien in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. (SWDB, ROF)

Coromon Headhunter
This vicious predator was native to the planet Fresia. It was a quadripedal beast with unusual, reverse-jointed legs which ended with heavily-clawed feet. The whip-like tail of the headhunter was used for both offense and defense, and its neck was protected by heavy scales. A colorful frill surrounded its long snout, and a row of pointed fangs ringed its lower jaw. The lairs of individual headhunters were littered with the skulls of its victims, as these were the only parts of its prey that the headhunter would not consume. (WOTC, CCW)

Coromon Island

This two-meter-long aquatic predator was native to the oceans and seas of Goroth Prime. Like most aquatic beasts found on the planet, the c'oron bel - also known as Silverjaw - could breathe air for short periods of time. Their long, tapered bodies were designed for speed, and their elongated jaws were filled with sharp teeth. Like reptiles, the c'oron bel could unhinge its jaws in order to swallow prey much larger than its own head. (GSE)

Corona-class Frigate
This was one of the earliest starship designs approved by the New Republic, although it saw limited production. It was not considered one of the new class of ships produced for the Fifth Battle Group, such as the Sacheen-class escort frigate. Built by Kuat Drive Yards, it was modeled after the KDY Nebulon-B frigate, and was designed to carry up to three squadrons up starfighters into battle. The Corona-class frigate measured 275 meters in length, required a crew of 782 with 56 gunners, and could transport up to 80 troops. They were hyperspace-capable, and were armed with 10 turbolaser cannons, 10 laser cannons, 4 ion cannons, and a pair of tractor beam projectors. (BTS, CTD)

Corona-class Transport
Manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards, these 28.4-meter ships could hold up to 80 metric tons of cargo and could accommodate up to six passengers. Manned by three crewmen, the Corona-class had minimal hyperdrive and shield capabilities. These ships were armed with a single laser cannon. The Corona-class was Kuat's attempt to compete with the Corellian Engineering YT-series, but it was generally regarded as overpriced and underpowered for its class. (SN, PP)

Coronet
The capital city of the planet Corellia, it contains a number of small buildings surrounded by large parks, plazas, and open areas. The beauty of the city was offset somewhat by its run-down spaceport. It was in this spaceport that Han Solo was abandoned as a child, and later "rescued" by Garris Shrike. The city was known for its gleaming towers and graceful domes. (AC, TPS)

Coronet
This was the name of Duchess Satine Kryze's personal transport vessel. The Coronet was an unusual vessel, resembled a knobbed staff as it moved through space.

The huge droid toppled over, squashing Corpo into a pulp. (T7)

Corporata
This term was used in the business world to describe the unfailing loyalty and devotion to one's corporation. In simple terms, corporata was the belief that one's corporate "family" was the only family one would ever need. (SWJ3)

Corporate Alliance
This was the name given to the alliance between the Old Republic and Corporate Sector, allowing the Corporate Sector Authority a large amount of latitude in which to conduct its business. Based on the planet Lethe, the Corporate Alliance was established for many reasons: to serve as the negotiating body for many of the galaxy's largest corporations and businesses, as well as to regulate the sales and distribution methods of these corporations. Note that Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader indicates that the headquarters of the Corporate Alliance were on the planet Murkhana. The Alliance was eventually allowed to arm its own battleships in order to protect its interests, thereby allowing the Republic to use its military forces elsewhere. The Corporate Alliance, like the Trade Federation, also developed its own droid army, in an effort to protect its ground-based assets. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, the Corporate Alliance - led by Passel Argente - wiped out a computer espionage training facility on Yirt-4138-Grek-12. It was believed that the Corporate Alliance was a supporter of Count Dooku and the Separatists, a rumor which was borne out during the Battle of Geonosis. During the battle, the droid forces of the Corporate Alliance were merged with those of the Trade Federation. This combined army would have overwhelmed the 100 or so Jedi Knights who traveled to Geonosis, but they were no match for the vast army of clone troopers brought to the planet by Yoda. In the wake of the Clone Wars, the Corporate Alliance was dissolved after Passel Argente was killed by Darth Vader on Mustafar. (COD, HNN4, E2N, VD2, SWDB, RDV)

Corporate Complexes
This was the name given by the Saurton to the territories which were controlled by the various mining consortiums which worked on the planet Essowyn. Each complex was established to give a specific corporation complete control over the territory's resources. (PG1)

Corporate Relief Fund
This was a financial relief fund established by the Corporate Sector Authority, in order to provide pensions or other monetary sources for planets within the Corporate Sector that needed help with their planetary economies. (TF)

Corporate Sector
This area of the galaxy originally was set aside by the Old Republic for corporations to use for mining raw materials, several centuries before the Galactic Civil War. It was created some 490 years before the Battle of Yavin, after an experiment at corporate control in the Expansion Region failed. Several hundred systems - all supposedly devoid of intelligent life, according to extensive neutrino research - made up the original Expansion Region Corporate Sector, and corporations could purchase the use of entire systems under the watchful eye of the Republic. Huge corporations began moving into the area, hoping to acquire a piece of the huge profits it was generating. Thus, the Corporate Sector was more of a huge corporation than a political area of the galaxy. The corporate executives were bound by the Old Republic's Senate until Emperor Palpatine rose to power. Under the New Order, executives convinced the Emperor to expand the Corporate Sector to include nearly 30,000 star systems. Eleven new intelligent species were discovered, but their existence was kept secret by the power-hungry corporations. The executives agreed to pay Palpatine a percentage of their corporate profits if he would allow them to manage the sector by themselves, to which Palpatine agreed. Thus was born the Corporate Sector Authority and the CSA Security Police force. The current Corporate Sector was bordered by the Aparo and Wyl Sectors. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, much of the pathway known as Vector Prime traveled through the Corporate Sector, and planets such as Brigia and Ruuria were overrun as the Yuuzhan Vong moved toward the Core. (HSE, CSA, HT, HG, UVG)

Corporate Sector Authority
This was the name of the conglomerate chartered to exploit the natural resources of the worlds in what would later be called the Corporate Sector. Before the Authority was first set up, the Old Republic set aside a group of systems in the Expansion Region for and experiment in corporate control, several centuries before the Galactic Civil War. The profits were enormous, but the internal corporate chafing at Republic regulations led to mismanagement and abuse of the planets and their inhabitants. The various worlds encompassed by the experiment began to experience civil revolts at the corporational misuse, and the Old Republic ordered the Senate to take control of the Sector. In order to placate the corporations who balked at the new control mechanisms, the Old Republic created the Corporate Sector and the Corporate Sector Authority. The Authority was made up of several Signatory Sponsors, Contributing Sponsors, Additional Voting Sponsors, and Non-voting Contributing Sponsors. Each of the fifty-five voting sponsors was allowed to elect one delegate to the Authority's Direx Board. The Direx Board was overseen by the ExO, an Authority figure chosen from outside the ranks of the voting sponsors. The Authority, at this point, had control of several star systems that were devoid of life. When Emperor Palpatine instituted the New Order, the corporate executives petitioned him to allow them direct control over sector resources. Palpatine agreed, in return for a portion of their corporate profits. In theory, the Corporate Sector Authority then owned everything in the Corporate Sector, and was in charge of mining it, guarding it, and using it. The Authority often used slave labor or other forced-labor to obtain the materials from their sources. It was believed that the CSA enslaved as many as eleven indigenous races which lived on the planets that were assigned to the Corporate Sector. The CSA even set up a number of scams in which entire races were duped into coming to the Sector for vast fortunes, only to be permanently indentured to the Authority. In order to preserve its autonomy, the CSA began secretly rounding up dissidents and rebellious individual during the early years of the New Order, in an effort to quell any public unrest that resulted from its unscrupulous actions. The prison facility at Stars' End held many of these prisoners, until the facility was destroyed by Han Solo and Chewbacca. Like the Old Republic that created it, the Corporate Sector began to crumble from within shortly afterward, as many employees abused their powers and spent credits without control. These extensive debts eventually forced the Direx Board to limit immigration and force new agents to sign contracts of financial responsibility. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the CSA's executive body chose to ignore the New Republic's mandates and cut their own deal with the Yuuzhan Vong. This ensured that the Corproate Sector would be spared any invasions, while providing assistance in rounding up any Jedi Knights who were in the sector. (HSE, CSA, RESB, EOV, HG)

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

Corr
Designated CT-5108/8843, this clone trooper lost both hands during the early fighting of the Clone Wars. Corr was trained as an EOD operative - the daunting task of explosive ordnance disposal, a role that most military forces left to droids. His injuries were not life-threatening, but cloned replacements were unavailable at the time he was injured. Thus, Corr was fitted with a pair of simple prostheses. However, in the eyes of his commanders, Corr was deemed unfit for combat, and he was reassigned to the Grand Army of the Republic's logistics center on Coruscant. He was given the simple task of updating troop information, a job that he accepted and performed admirably. About a year after the Battle of Geonosis, Corr found himself wrapped up in Kal Skirata's black-ops mission to eliminate a Separatist-backed terrorist ring on Coruscant. His position in logistics allowed him to swap places with the Null-class ARC Trooper known as Ordo, so that Ordo could investigate the actions of Besany Wennen and her relationship to Vinna Jiss. At Qibbu's Hut, Corr was treated like any other clone trooper, rather than a disabled one, by the commandos of Delta and Omega Squads, and was given an active role in the mission.

In the weeks that followed, Corr developed a friendship with Lieutenant Mereel, enjoying the social aspect of the places they visited while avidly discussing the many ways that booby traps could be set up and sprung. Corr was later called up for active duty when Fi was injured on Gaftikar, and he took Fi's place while the other trooper recovered. Kal Skirata went so far as to have Corr redesignated as RC-5108/8843, making him a proper member of the clone commandos. Skirata even provided him with Fi's old armor, which helped both Corr and the other members of Omega Squad adjust to his presence on the team. Corr saw his first action on Liul, where Omega Squad destroyed a Separatist storage facility. During one of their return trips to Coruscant, the Omegas were introduced to Kal Skirata's new grandchild, unaware that the infant was actually the son of Etain Tur-Mukan and Darman. They liked the child's name, Venku, although Corr said he would name his own son Jori, if he ever had children. As Corr grew more and more comfortable in Omega Squad, he became more and more vocal about the galactic situation, and he especially disliked the government of the Galactic Republic.

During a stopover at GAR Station Nerrif, Corr suddenly stated that he wanted to line up Chancellor Palpatine and all the chiefs of staff and execute them on the spot. Corr also started develop a nervous habit of peeling the synthflesh from his prosthetic hands and exposing the mechanical elements underneath, sometimes even sharpening his vibroblade on the metallic fingers. While some clones considered this a show of bravado, Corr used it as a way to confront what had happened to him and come to grips with his new hands. In the months that followed, Corr found himself stationed on Coruscant when General Grievous made his desparate attempt to capture Chancellor Palpatine. In the chaos that followed the so-called Jedi Rebellion, Corr and Ordo tried to reach Kal Skirata, who was trying to locate Etain Tur-Mukan at the Shinarcan Bridge. Etain was killed by a panicked Jedi Padawan, and Niner was injured when the Padawan tried to flee. Darman went to his aid, and both troopers were stranded on Coruscant when the rest of Skirata's comrades left. Corr and Ordo were forced to carry Skirata's unconscious body to their escape vessel, after Jaller Obrim stunned him in order to make sure they escaped Coruscant. The group then made its way to Mandalore, just as Skirata had planned. (RCTZ, RCTC, RC66)

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

Corrsk
This Trandoshan male worked for Nolaa Tarkona and the Diversity Alliance, during the height of the New Republic. Corrsk was an exceptional recruiter, and brought many alien races into the Diversity Alliance's ranks. However, when Wookiees started joining, Corrsk found himself struggling to ignore his innate hatred and welcome the Wookiees as equials. When several young Jedi Knights managed to infiltrate the Diversity Alliance's headquarters on Ryloth, Corrsk was among the first to set out to locate the intruders. When the young Jedi tried to escape, Corrsk found himself face-to-face with Lowbacca. Although Corrsk managed to injure the young Wookiee, he could not prevent his escape from Ryloth. Lowbacca used his lightsaber to deflect one of Corrsk's blaster bolts into the rocky ceiling of a cave tunnel, burying Corrsk in a pile of stones and dust.

Corrsk soon recovered from his injuries, and had a chance to redeem himself when the New Republic sent a group of representatives to Ryloth to investigate the Diversity Alliance. Corrsk discovered that Lowbacca had arrived on the planet, and planned to kill the young Wookiee first and ask forgiveness of Nolaa Tarkona later. He confronted Lowbacca again, as the Wookiee tried to leave the planet. Corrsk was unprepared when Lowbacca maneuvered him into an airlock onboard his starship. The young Wookiee locked Corrsk into the airlock, then vented the airlock into space when he fled the planet. Corrsk died of explosive decompression shortly afterward. (DOG, JB, TEP)

Corrupter
This Imperial-II class Star Destroyer was part of the Empire's fleet, just before the Battle of Endor. The Alliance disrupted the resupplying of this ship in order to force it to withdraw from battle until it could be brought back up to working order. (XWA)

Corrupter
This Victory-II class Star Destroyer was part of the fleet commanded by Ysanne Isard shortly after the battle of Endor. It was commanded by Ait Convarion. Isard used it to protect the planet Thyferra, along with the Lusankya, Avarice, and Virulence, during her short reign there. The Star Destroyer was sent to intercept Rogue Squadron when they took control of a bacta convoy led by the Xucphra Alazhi, and was forced to destroy the freighter. As punishment, Isard sent the Corrupter to destroy the settlement on Halanit. It later went to Alderaan to intercept the Rogues there, with the assistance of the Aggregator, but was completely disabled by the sudden appearance of the Valiant. It drifted into the asteroids that used to be Alderaan and was destroyed. (BW)

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

Corsin
A planet located in the Greater Plooriod Cluster. It was a planet known for its devotion to life, but it was subjugated by the Empire and occupied during the Galactic Civil War. It was also the site of famous swoop races. According to Star Wars: Rebellion, Corsin is located in Sesswenna Sector. (MTS, REB)

Corsit
This amphibious creature was native to the Lesser Firagh Peninsula, on the planet Thonner. (GMR9)

Corsit-puzzle Tree
This tree, native to the Lesser Firagh Peninsula on the planet Thonner, was named for the fact that its trunk was covered with thick spikes that often impaled the amphibious corsits that tried to climb it. (GMR9)

Corsucant Security Force Staff and Social Club
This was the off-duty watering hole that was provided for the officers and staff members of the Coruscant Security Force, during the final years of the Old Republic. Food and beverages of all kinds were available for any being on the force, as well as their guests. (RCTZ)

Cort, Farl
This man was one of the leaders of the settlement on Halanit, shortly before it was destroyed for accepting bacta from Rogue Squadron. A short, balding man, Farl was greatly concerned with the outbreak of a disease which resembled the Cardooine Chills. When Gavin Darklighter escaped from the Corrupter and made it back to Halanit, Cort befriended him and helped him get Gavin's X-Wing repaired. However, when the Corrupter attacked Halanit in retaliation for taking bacta from the Rogue, Cort was among the huge loss of life at the hands of the Thyferran Home Defense Corps. (BW)

Cortella
This obscure planet was ruled by a monarchy during the last decades of the Old Republic. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Siri Tachi pretended to be the king and queen of Cortella when they tried to infiltrate the Leadership School on Andara, in an effort to locate their Padawans, Anakin Skywalker and Ferus Olin. (JQ5)

Corteone Ocean
This large body of water, located on the planet Talus, formed one border of Qaestar Town. (CCW)

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

Corthel
This highly-reflective gas was mined for a number of reasons. Its presence in the atmosphere of a planet made the planet appear to sparkle and flash when viewed from space. (GMK)

Corthenian
This was an alien race. (TCD)

Cortheum
This rock, present in the crusts of planets which have corthel-laden atmospheres, was mined for a number of uses. Among its primary uses was in the manufacture of photo-receptors used as droid eyes. (GMK)

Cortical Datasplint
This unusual piece of cybernetic technology was created to allow a sentient being to store huge amounts of data in a secure location, without having to enter it into a computer. The datasplint was essentially "hard-wired" into the brain of an individual, allowing a being to place sensitive data in a secure location. The being could then literally forget it, knowing that they could retrieve it from the datasplint at a later time. Because the datasplint was accessed directly by the brain, it could be protected using memory encryption and trauma sensors. These sensors would trip if the being was interrogated or tortured, locking out unauthorized access without the user having to remember to encrypt it. (JKA)

Cortina
This planet's government was full of bluster and self-importance when it applied for membership in the New Republic. It backed down before it was officially admitted. (BTS)

Cortosis
This unsusual ore was known to have several important properties, not the least of which was its ability to repel the energy of a lightsaber blade. Mined on a handful of planets throughout the galaxy, cortosis was impervious to heat and energy, and was first used to create armor and shielding more than a millennia before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. The operation of mining cortosis was backbreaking at best, as its strength and durability meant that plasma torches and other energy cutters were almost useless. It had to be chipped from the rock with hydraulic jacks, which were dulled or destroyed in short order. This method of chipping bits of cortosis from the surrounding stone created large amounts of dust, that ruined equipment and caused many health problems for the miners. The primary result of working in this environment was that the miners' hair fell out. Miners were often paid little to their labors, and usually based on the amount of cortosis ore they were able to extract. Thus, the mining of cortosis was something of a cutthroat operation for both the miners and the corporations they worked for. Despite its resistance to the blade of a lightsaber, cortosis was unstable in the presence of explosives, and would shatter if hit with a grenade. However, cortosis was known to cause any lightsaber that struck it to overload and shut down. This allowed many individuals to defeat a Jedi who was unprepared to fight without their lightsaber. Investigation into the chemical and physical properties of cortosis revealed that there were two distinct forms of the ore. The more rare form actually shorted out the energy of a lightsaber when it came into contact with the ore itself. The more common form was more malleable, and was made up of interlocking bonds that could not be split by a lightsaber's energy. It was believed that Emperor Palpatine had some of the walls in the Imperial Palace on Coruscant lined with cortosis. The Jensaarai sect also used strands of this ore to layer their unique armor. Using the Force, they wove the cortosis into the shapes of vicious, predatory animals, making their armor forbidding as well as better able to defend themselves. The Chiss also knew of the strengths of cortosis, and used it in the walls that formed the Hand of Thrawn fortress on Nirauan. (IJ, VOF, RSOS, NEGD, DBPD)

Cortosis Battle Droid
This was the more common name of the C-B3 battle droid produced by Baktoid Combat Automata during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Cortosis droid was developed during a competition that was sponsored by Techno Union leader Wat Tambor, who was searching for the perfect combination of power and strength to call the B3-series Ultra Battle Droid. Two teams were selected to meet the challenge, one on Foundry and the other on Metalorn. Although the Avatar-7 prototype developed on Foundry was chosen by General Grievous to become the B3, the C-B3 developed on Metalorn provied to have enough merit that it was also built for use in the droid armies of the Separatists. Standing nearly two meters tall, the C-B3 cortosis droid resembled a B2-series Super Battle Droid. However, the C-B3 was protected by interlocking armor plating that was formed from cortosis ore, making it impervious to lightsaber strikes. Each of the C-B3's two arms was fitted with a double laser cannon, making it more than a match for a Jedi Knight. The first C-B3 units that were manufactured by Baktoid Combat Automata were deployed on a raid of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, as the military might behind Count Dooku's effort to destroy the Jedi Archives. While the cortosis battle droids were defeated by Anakin Skywalker before they could complete their mission, they performed well enough to warrant further production. Darth Sidious allowed news of their continued production to reach the Jedi Council, which then dispatched Skywalker to destroy the production facility on Metalorn. After Skywalker captured Wat Tambor and eliminated the ability to produce more droids, the C-B3 was scrapped, although a few units remained in active duty until they were destroyed. (NEGD)

Cortosis Shot
This was a speciallized form of blaster bolt that was developed by the scientists working for the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. In addition to the normal mixture of cohesive energy that was fired by a blaster weapons, a small amount of cortosis ore was added to the gas mixture, creating a blaster bolt that could short out a lightsaber's blade. Early versions of weapons that could fire a cortosis shot were expensive to manufacture and often failed after one or two blasts, as the cortosis ore destroyed the inside of a weapon's barrel. (CWOC2)

CorTrehan
This was the brand name of cordioline trehansicol. (VOF)

Cortyg Brandy
This was a strong alcohol produced by the Wookiee race. The Wookiees produced two distillations of Cortyg brandy, with a less-potent version being exported for sale across the galaxy. (RD, DBPD)

This was one of the largest distributors of fresh fruits and vegetables on the planet Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. (RCTZ)

Corugg
This Hutt was a noted sabacc player, during the height of the New Order. (RESB)

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

Corulag Academy
This was the name of the Imperial Academy satellite school located in Curamelle. It was rivaled in size and prestige only by the primary academy school on Raithal. Like all branches of the Imperial Academy, the Corulag Academy started out as a prestigious university established during the height of the Old Republic. (SWJ7, E1A4, CCW)

Corulag Bamboo
This was the species of fast-growing bamboo which covered much of the undeveloped land found on the planet Corulag. Areas which had become overgrown with Corulag bamboo were virtually impassable without mechanical assistance from a bulldozer or other large vehicle. (CCW)

Corus System
This star system was noted for the large concentration of pirates and smugglers who congregated there, during the early years of the New Order. (SWDB)

Corusca Bank
This financial institution, headquartered on Coruscant, was most famous for a clerical error which placed Emperor Palpatine at the top of a public list of loan defaulters. Although the list was available for only two standard hours, Palpatine discovered it and began searching for the perpetrators. He immediately remived the entire board of directors, and went looking for more. In an effort to lay blame on a single individual and reduce the attrition rate, Corusca pinpointed Onibald Daykim as the culprit. Daykim fled, and Corusca was eventually allowed to do normal business again. (JASB)

Corusca Circus
Located in one of the most ancient parts of the Senate District of Coruscant's Galactic City, the Corusca Circus was a brightly-lit collection of old architectures and thoroughfares. The Corusca Circus was centered at the intersection of the three largest streets in the district, and glowed with a constant yellow light from streetlights and the windows of scores of public buildings. However, the labyrinth of dark alleyways just south of the Corusca Circus were among the dangerous of all location on Coruscant, and were avoided at all costs by many residents. (IWE2, LEV)

Corusca Fire
This Victory-class Star Destroyer was part of the fleet dispatched under the command of Admiral Ackbar to liberate the planet Ciutric from Prince-Admiral Krennel. Using the Thrawn Pincer to surprise Krennel's fleet, Ackbar had the Corusca Fire and a sister ship, the Selonian Fire, remain on the far side of the Ciutric System until called for. When Krennel activated the gravity well projectors on the Binder, Ackbar ordered the two Victory ships to microjump forward. The gravity shadow from the Binder pulled them out of hyperspace behind Krennel's fleet, allowing them to pummel Krennel's ships which were also trapped in place by the Interdictor cruiser. Years later, the Corusca Fire was one of the leading ships in the defense of Dantooine against the Yuuzhan Vong. It was responsible for protecting the refugees fleeing from Dubrillion to Agamar, and nearly destroyed a Yuuzhan Vong worldship in the battle. The only reason it was at the battle in the first place was because its captain, Rimsen, was a native of Agamar, and learned that Leia Organa Solo had petitioned Agamar for help when the New Republin turned a blind eye to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Rimsen ignored his patrol orders and flew to Dantooine, saving the refugees from almost certain destruction. (IR, DTO)

Corusca Gem
Formed from the intense heat and gravity inside Yavin's core, these extremely hard gemstones were never found or duplicated in other gas giants. Individual stones were formed from carbon and metallic hydrogen, which were compressed by millions of atmospheres of pressure near the planet's core. The intense pressure actually removed electrons from the hydrogen and carbon, fusing them together and securing the metallic hydrogen's silvery-gray brilliance. The harsh environment of Yavin often swept gems off the core's surface, as did the foraging of grazers in Yavin's lowest atmosphere. The turbulent storms picked them up and actually polished them, and some of these jewels eventually landed on the planet's various moons. Considered valuable gemstones, corusca gems had a variety of lapidary and mechanical uses, and they were sometimes useful as focusing crystals in the lightsaber of Jedi Knights. However, the technology needed to harvest them with any regularity was both expensive and dangerous to to operate, and very few operations established to harvest corusca gems managed to turn a profit.

During the chaotic months that followed the Clone Wars, Emperor Palpatine moved quickly to ensure that any surviving Jedi Knights were unable to locate crystals for their lightsabers. All trade and commerce involving Corusca gems, as well as Adegan crystals and crystals from Ilum, was placed under strict interdiction. This ban was lifted several years after the Battle of Endor, and Gantoris used three corusca gems to construct his lightsaber while under the influence of Exar Kun. Later, Lando Calrissian set up the GemDiver Station operation, and employed heavily-armored mining ships to plumb the atmosphere of Yavin for the gems. (DA, SA, GG2, CN2, WOTC)

Corusca Gem Casino
This casino, located on the moon Nar Shaddaa during the height of the New Order, was established in an area that many gamblers would have considered quite rough. However, the Corusca Gem's easy access and bright lighting attempted to bring in the high rollers who visited the moon, despite its location. The interior of the casino was loud and raucous, with hundreds of gaming tables always active. When the games weren't making noise, bands were almost always playing a variety of loud music. (WOA23)

Corusca on Fellowship
This stately hotel was established on Fellowship Plaza, on the planet Coruscant, during the years that followed the Swarm War. The hotel was noted for its grandiose style and immense size, and its reputation as a luxury establishment grew with each passing year. (FJ3)

Corusca Rainbow
This was the name given by the New Republic to the defected Interdictor cruiser Black Asp. It was part of the fleet assembled to defend Agamar during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, protecting the flow of refugees who were fleeing the front lines of the assault. Traest Kre'fey ordered the ship to travel to Ithor and hide behind one of the planet's smaller moons during the Battle of Ithor. After the Yuuzhan Vong had unleashed their bioweapon on the planet, Kre'fey ordered the Corusca Rainbow to fire up her gravity wells and keep the Yuuzhan Vong forces from leaving. The Corusca Rainbow and all surviving Republic ships then opened fire, destroying much of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet, including the Legacy of Torment. (WG, DTR)

Corusca Rush
This was the term used by historians to describe the brief period of galactic history that began some 2,500 years before the Clone Wars, after Corusca gems were discovered in the atmosphere of the planet Yavin. The rush lasted for about a century, when synthetic corusca gems were first produced, at a fraction of the cost of mining the real thing. (GORW)

Coruscani Ogre
This race of simians inhabited the undercity of Imperial City, on Coruscant. They were similar in most respects to sub-humanoids found on other urbanized worlds, and were covered with a thick pelt of shaggy hair. Their bodies were heavily muscled. Their heads were large, misshapen, and triangular, and the face of an ogre was split by a wide mouth filled with jagged teeth. They were considered to be semi-intelligent, but they were not very finicky about what they ate. Their exact origins were unknown, and no two Coruscani ogres had the same features.

Coruscant
Located at galactic coordinates (0,0,0), this planet in the Core Worlds was considered the centrer of the galaxy by virtually every government that controlled it, from the Old Republic to the Empire and the New Republic. Despite its designation as (0,0,0), Coruscant was not actually the center of the galaxy, being located just outside the Deep Core. According to Rebellion, Coruscant is located in Sesswenna Sector. However, politically and socially, it was the heart of everything that happened in the galaxy. Most xenoarchaeologists believed that the human race evolved on Coruscant, which was also the homeworld of the Taung and the Zell races. It was the center of all the Old Republic's activities, and helped describe Galactic Standard time. The standard hour and year were marked by Coruscant's local hour and year. The normal Coruscant day was divided into 24 hours, and its year lasted 368 local days. It was renamed Imperial Center by Emperor Palpatine after the formation of the Galactic Empire, but was renamed to Coruscant after the New Republic assumed control of the galaxy.

Located some 10,000 light-years from the actual galactic core, Coruscant measured some 12,240 kilometers in diamater, had four moons and orbited a small blue-white sun. The planet's entire landmass had been covered - over the thousands of generations spanning galactic history - by multiple levels of the buildings that make up Imperial City. The oceans that once covered part of the planet's surface had been drained and stored in vast, underground caverns for eventual reuse. Several of these immense skyscrapers reach over 6,000 meters into the atmosphere. This meant that there was little land available for growing food, and no natural rivers or lakes to provide water. To solve the dilemma of feeding and watering millions of inhabitants, many of Coruscant's architects build self-contained ecosystems into their buildings. Engineers have developed a series of huge pipes through which polar ice water was pumped to the cities. Nearly everything on the planet was recyclable, from clothing to packaging and machinery.

One problem with a cityworld like Coruscant was that its organic population - which was rumored to have been around three three trillion at the time of the Clone Wars - generated incredible amounts of carbon dioxide, so atmosphereic dampeners were placed in orbit to reactively remove it. Because there was little to no natural ground cover, the planet's weather patterns were virtually non-existent. The required the formation of the Coruscant Weather Control Network, also known as the WeatherNet, to regulate the weather and ensure the continued processing of the water cycle. Clouds and rains were created as needed, to keep the atmosphere clean and allow the planet's inhabitants to experience a regular progression of seasons.

Because Coruscant was the politcal center of the galaxy, the Galactic Senate - and later, the Imperial Senate - was convened there. When Palpatine assumed control of the Senate and the rest of the government, he established that Coruscant would remain the center of his Empire. He began a massive work effort to shape Coruscant to his desires, including renaming the planet as Imperial Center and installing a large number of surveillance systems. Following the Battle of Endor, Mon Mothma moved the New Republic onto Coruscant and again re-established the center of the Republic there. This came after the planet was liberated from Ysanne Isard, and the New Republic overcame the threat of the Krytos virus. Unbeknownst to all, Isard's infamous Lusankya prison facility was hidden in the Super-class Star Destroyer Lusankya, which was buried beneath Imperial City.

Following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Imperial Inner Circle began attacking Coruscant in an effort to regain the center of the galaxy for the Empire. This attack was driven back just before the Emperor was reborn as a clone, but the damage to the planet's resources was horrendous. Also, the immediate space surrounding the planet was littered with starship wreckage for many years to follow. Once the reborn Emperor was destroyed, the New Republic began cleaning up the planet to make it more presentable as the center of the galaxy.

During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Coruscant's defenses were augmented by the addition of a shell of orbital space mines. While these protected the planet, they forced all traffic to follow a handful of travel bands, causing massive traffic jams in the space over the planet. This ring of mines failed to stop the Yuuzhan Vong, some two years after their initial invasion, when the aliens used suicide bombers to eliminate the mines before launching an all-out attack on the planet. Borsk Fey'lya was forced to cede control of Coruscant to the Yuuzhan Vong, and the New Republic fled the system in disarray. When the Republic's forces were finally defeated, some three years after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion had begun, the city lights of Coruscant went out for the first time in many millennia.

The Yuuzhan Vong then destroyed much of the planet's surface, using dovin basals to drag skyhooks and orbital satellites down and crashing them into the planet. This served two purposes: it eliminated much of the orbital technology, and it caused a widespread psychological fear into the planet's survivors. Within weeks, much of Coruscant was overgrown with fungus and algae. Those New Republic citizens who survived the initial attacks were faced several bleak alternatives: dying of starvation, as much of the food production system was destroyed; dying of thirst, since no open water sources were to be found; being killed over a cache of food or water; or dying at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong. Within months, a large portion of the population was dead or dying, and massive Vongforming efforts were under way.

The planet's largest moon was destroyed so that it's debris could assist in the reformation of the planet's surface. Immense dovin basals were used to drag Coruscant into a tighter orbit around its star, creating a more tropical atmopshere. Other dovin basals moved the remaining three moons into a new, complex orbit. Vast amounts of material, displaced during the destruction of the cities, was thrown into nearspace and allowed to form a ring, assisted by the tidal pull of the three moons. This ring of debris resembled a braided rainbow when seen from the surface, and was known to the Yuuzhan Vong as The Bridge. A dhuryam World Brain was installed deep in the planet's crust, and speciallized mosses and lichens were used to break down duracrete and other building materials. The Yuuzhan Vong had remade Courscant in the image of their long-lost homeworld, Yuuzhan'tar. However, Jacen Solo's relationship with the dhuryam that controlled the planet and its reformation was seemingly stronger than any relationship the dhuryam had to a Yuuzhan Vong, for it agreed to help him cause all manner of trouble with the completion of Coruscant's transformation.

Eventually, this forced Supreme Overlord Shimrra to command a huge sacrifice be made to the gods, to show them that the planet - and the galaxy - was ready for conquering. This ceremony was thwarted by the Shamed Ones who rallied behind the message of the Prophet, Yu'shaa. Shortly afterward, the Yuuzhan Vong on the planet awoke to find that the living planet of Zonama Sekot had traveled from across the galaxy into a position between Coruscant and Muscave. Zonama Sekot destroying the Rainbow Bridge which had been created in orbit around the planet, and scattered the one of the remaining three moons into a new location. This set off a number of seismic events that rocked the planet to its core, damaging or destroying the work of the Yuuzhan Vong. The sudden appearance of the planet forced the Yuuzhan Vong military leaders to break off their attack on Mon Calamari and return to the Core, as countless storms and environmental changes threatened to undo all the worldshaping that had been done.

To this, Supreme Overlord Shimrra added several wildfires, started by the dhuryam which controlled the planet, as a way of destroying the planet in case it fell into the hands of the Galactic Alliance. However, despite the efforts of Shimrra, his familiar Onimi, and the warriors arrayed in orbit, the Yuuzhan Vong were eventually forced to surrender to the combined forces of Zonama Sekot and the Galactic Alliance. In the wake of Coruscant's recapture, it was estimated that some 365 trillion beings throughout the galaxy had lost their lives during the war. As the Yuuzhan Vong prepared to leave the Core on Zonama Sekot, their Shapers worked with Jacen Solo to convince the dhuryam that it needed to help with the rebuilding of Coruscant for the Galactic Alliance. This new world would symbolize the new unity between the Yuuzhan Vong and the peoples of the galaxy.

The helmet was specially-designed in order to help differentiate them from standard troops. (ROE, RESB)

Coruscant Health Administration
This branch of the Old Republic was established to monitor and ensure the general health of the civilian population of the galaxy. The CHA funded all manner of health and public safety measures, ensuring that there was a basic minimum of healthcare provided to all the Republic's citizens. Operations of the CHA were severely curtailed in the wake of the Clone Wars, as Emperor Palpatine redirected funding to finance the build-up of the Imperial armed forces. (RCTC)

Coruscant Journal
This holozine was published on Coruscant during the early years of the New Republic. It became famous when a group of Wookiee marketeers began selling subscriptions to gullible readers, taking their credits and never actually providing the holozine access. The Wookiees used Salespeak 7 translator droids to hide the fact that they were Wookiees. (GPB)

Coruscant Law Journal
This was a regular publication that published articles about various aspects of the law. Produced during the final decades of the Old Republic, the Coruscant Law Journal provided insights and commentaries on the legal system of Coruscant and the Galactic Republic. (OWS)

Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition
Hosted annually during the height of the Old Republic at Coruscant's Grand Symposium, this event showcased some of the galaxy's most exquisite forms of creatures. Breeders from across the galaxy traveled to the event to buy, sell, or trade creatures of all shapes and sizes. Security at the event was very tight, in case one or more of the creatures got loose. However, the credentials of the dealers were rarely checked, and a reputable dealer could be found next to a con artist who glued on fake parts to make a mundane beast look like a rare and exotic individual. The event was curtailed during the era of the New Order, but was restored to its former status during the decades that followed the Battle of Endor and the rebuilding of the planet Coruscant. The Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition was forced into a period of hiatus during the Yuuzhan Vong War, but was once again held during the years that followed the Second Galactic Civil War. The event lasted an entire month, and took up a large part of the Grand Event Center during its run. (CCW, FJ2)

(HNN5)

Coruscant Museum of Galactic Cultures
This immense museum was one of many Coruscant facilities that experienced a rebirth in the wake of the Battle of Endor.

(GCG)

Coruscant News Network
This was the primary news reporting agency which reported on the events of the planet Coruscant, during the last years of the Old Republic. (APS)

Coruscant Opera
This was the galaxy's finest opera company, performing some of the most prestigious operas of the Old Republic and continuing its grand stature during the early decades of the New Republic. It produced its performances in a pre-Republic edifice which was laden with baroque architecture, which had opulent boxes for the very rich as well as lower-level galleries for the common beings. (JE, COD)

Coruscant Opera House
This was one of the most elaborate landmarks found in Imperial City on the planet Coruscant. It was the base of operations for the Coruscant Opera, and provided the leaders of the Old Republic, the New Order, and the New Republic with a wide range of productions. (CCW)

Coruscant Park
This open greenway was located on the planet Coruscant, near the Jedi Temple, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Many Jedi Masters took their Padawans to this park for meditation, since it removed them from the commotion and atmosphere of the Jedi Temple. (MJH)

Coruscant Planetary Defense
This planetary defense force was created during the early stages of the Clone Wars, and charged with protecting the planet Coruscant from attack or invasion by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Admiral Terrinald Screed was placed in command of the CPD after Duro fell to the Separatists. (SWI75)

Coruscant Prime
This normal-sized, blue-white star was the central body in the Coruscant System. Because Coruscant Prime was so far from the planet Coruscant, and given its cool coloration, orbital mirrors were installed above the planet to collect stray starlight from Coruscant Prime and reflect it back toward the planet, ensuring that it remained temperate and inhabitable. (MBS, CCW, E3N)

Coruscant Prime
This was one of the major newsgrids available to inhabitants of the planet Coruscant. The service ran a series of inflammatory articles aimed at Leia Organa-Solo and the Ruling Council during the Black Fleet Crisis. (TT)

Coruscant Republicana
This was the specific form of Republicana that included only Republic-era antiques and artifacts from locations on the planet Coruscant. (MF)

This branch of the University of Coruscant was focused on the musical arts. (MBS)

Coruscant Sector
This was considered the capital sector of the galaxy, since it contained the planet Coruscant. (CCW)

Coruscant Sector Fleet
This was the name of the Imperial Navy sector fleet which protected the planet Coruscant - known then as Imperial Center - during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. Palpatine had declared that the planet was essentially its own sector, given its huge population and importance to the Empire. This allowed him to usurp an entire sector fleet to defend his throneworld. (RESB)

Coruscant Security Force
This branch of the Old Republic military was charged with maintaining the peace and security of the planet Coruscant, including regular police actions and maintaining the integrity of Coruscant's complex network of traffic lanes. In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Coruscant Security Force was resurrected by the Galactic Alliance. Its duties were expanded to include the security and safety the surface of Coruscant, in addition to patrolling the skylanes. (CCW, SWI81, LF2, LF6, RC66)

Coruscant Shipping Authority
This independent group worked to maintain the safety and security of the commercial traffic lanes to and from Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. The CSA worked with the Coruscant Security Force to ensure that the planet was properly protection from outside influences, while allowing commercial traffic to move freely to ports and landing zones. (EAP)

Coruscant Slider
This was one of the basic sliders that were on the menu at Dex's Diner, during the final years of the Old Republic. The Coruscant Slider had a Mongo Beefhead patty as its base, and was topped with Gonzo cheese, grilled onions from Ojom, Revwien lettuce, topato slices, and specialty B'omarr-style pickles.

Coruscant Star of Valor
This medal was one of the first commissioned by the New Republic. It was created shortly after - and to comemmorate - the liberation of Coruscant from Imperail control. It was first awarded to the members of Rogue Squadron, for their dedication and loyalty during the liberation of the planet. However, in the following decades, the Coruscant Star of Valor became known as the award that was given to commanders who won battles from behind the lines. The front-line troops often nominated their commanders for the award, knowing full-well that it meant little to the regular forces of the military. (KT, LF8)

Coruscant Stock Exchange
This was the primary financial exchange for Coruscant-based corporations. Originally founded many years before the onset of the Clone Wars, the Coruscant Stock Exchange remained active during the era of the New Order and survived the Yuuzhan Vong War. The CSX did quite well for a number of years after the Yuuzhan Vong captured Coruscant, until Thrackan Sal-Solo threatened to secede the entire Corellian System from the Galactic Alliance. As the Alliance's stance became more militaristic, investors began to shy away from Corsucant-based stocks, and the CSX began a period of slow but steady decline. (LF2, RC66)

Coruscant System
This star system was considered the capital of the galaxy, since it contained the planet Coruscant. (CCW)

Coruscant Taxi
This was the generic term used to describe the small repulsorcraft that were used to moved beings between the buildings of Imperial City on Coruscant, although the basic design can be used almost anywhere. The most popular model was developed by Hyrotii Engineering, which was eight meters in length and had a top speed of 191 kph. Also known as an air taxi, the vehicle required a single pilot, and could transport up to five beings, depending on their species. The driver and passengers were held in the taxi by a low-power tractor beam generator.

Like all the craft that travel Imperial City's byways, it had a speciallized automatic pilot that employs magnetic grids to keep it from straying in the huge flows of traffic which dominate the skies of Imperial City. Beings who served as taxi drivers had to pass several tests in order to earn the right to fly "off the grid", in order to bypass the normal skylanes during emergency situations. (X1, E1N, SWDB, CHRN2)

Coruscant Temple
This was a term used by many Jedi Knights of the Old Republic to describe the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, as a way to distinguish it from other facilities, such as the Almas Academy. (JCT3)

Coruscant Tourist Information Center
This was the primary agency that helped beings from other worlds plan and enjoy their visits to Coruscant, during the years following the Great Sith War. Because Coruscant was a multi-leveled city world, the Coruscant Tourist Information Center spent much of its time ensuring that visitors could easily reach their hotels and the various places of interest that were found on the planet. (KOR9)

Coruscant Weather Control Network
This was the system of weather control modules and monitoring stations that made up the weather production system on the city-world of Coruscant. Also known as the WeatherNet, it was responsible for ensuring that a regular progression of seasons was experienced on the planet. Controllers could also alter the passage of seasons to adjust the planet's ecosystem, depending on the prevailing environmental conditions. In order to make the environment on Coruscant as pleasant as possible, controllers limited the amount of rain that fell during daylight hours. (HNN4, CN1)

Coruscant Wildlife Management Department
This agency was established by the Old Republic to monitor the undercity of the planet Coruscant for new and unusual species of creatures. Much of the CWMD's budget went toward confining species such as the Coruscani Ogre to areas where they wouldn't come into contact with the beings who lived on the planet. Because the CWMD was never given serious responsibilities, many of its leaders were ineffectual cast-offs, and a small black-market operation to export ogres and other creatures evolved. (WOTC)

Coruscant Xenozoology Museum
This museum, located on Coruscant during the last decades of the Old Republic, boasted some of the most comprehensive collections of insect life from across the galaxy. (MJH)

Coruscanta
This was the Mando'a name for the planet Coruscant. (OWS)

Coruscant-class Heavy Courier
This Corellia StarDrive starship was similar in many respects to the Hoersch-Kessel Delaya-class courier: a highly-aerodynamic craft designed to transport personnel between planets. The Coruscant-class ship was larger, and had different sections for its components. The engines were arranged in two banks set at right angles to each other, allowing for greater maneuverability without supplemental thrusters. The main wing had retractable sections that provided increased maneuvering in atmosphere, but could be folded for landing. The Coruscant-class also had more cargo space than the Delaya-class, which meant that ground vehicles could also be transported with personnel. The ship measured 150 meters in length, and required a pilot and gunner to operate. It could transport up to six passengers and 25 metric tons of cargo, and was armed with a front-mounted pulse-wave cannon, three laser cannons, four proton torpedo launchers, and a pair of short-range concussion-sphere launchers. (EGV, TOJC)

Coruscanthium
This rare, precious metal was found only on the planet Coruscant. Most deposits of Coruscanthium were mined during the planet's early history, meaning that most modern Coruscanthium was found only in pieces of art or sculpture. (MF)

Coruscanti
This term was used to describe the human inhabitants of the planet Coruscant. (DSTR, LF7)

Coruscanti Praji
This was the term used by historians to describe those members of the former House Praji who took up residence on the planet Coruscant, in the wake of the Great Hyperspace War. The Coruscanti Praji were major players in the Galactic Empire, before returning to their ancestral home of Kaikielius in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong War. (OWS)

Coruscanticentric
This was a term used to describe something - such as a government or an art movement - that was based on the ideals and doctrines of the natives of the planet Coruscant. Although many inhabitants of the Core Worlds were fine with such ideals, but worlds beyond the Core often loathed the idea of adapting to the whims of Coruscanti culture. (RC66)

Coruschal WeaponWorks
This weapons manufacturer produced several lines of sliugthrowers, including the Dagger Combat Pistol. (FOP)

Corva
This planet was located in the Galaan System of Corva Sector. The Old Republic tried to establish a colony on the planet, but it was wiped out when a group of clodhoppers were set loose on the planet. The insectoids, native to the planet Naboo, were believed to have arrived in a shipment of grain, and quickly devastated the planet. All the plant life on Corva was eaten or destroyed, and 87% of the colonists were also eaten by the clodhoppers. (SON)

Corva Sector
Located in the Outer Rim, the Corva Sector was home to the Delari and H'Ken planetary systems. (SWJ8)

Corva Yag
This planet was the site of the grisly murder of 300 colonists, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. While the resulting public safety briefings claimed the deaths were due to a batch of sabotaged 87-RM collector droids, many felt that the colonists had stumbled upon a secret Imperial laboratory and were "silenced." (SWJ13)

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

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

Coryndr
This computer slicer once tried to preserve data he was stealing by adding a power condensor to a DataSearch 12C-A search device. The resulting explosion was, in Coryndr's words, "pretty spectacular." (GUN)

Coryx
This was the name of a family that traveled the galaxy with their father, a water chemist of small reputation. In reality, the Coryx family was a carefully constructed set of aliases developed for Jedi Masters Jai Maruk and Maks Leem, and their Padawans, Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy and Whie Malreaux, during their secret mission to Vjun at the height of the Clone Wars. (YDR)

COSGU
This acronym was used to describe the Committee of Seven for Garosian Unification. (SWJ1)

Cosh
This was a common name given to Zabrak males. Like many Zabrak names, it related to survival characteristics, and meant "pride" as it related to a male Zabrak being the pride of his family. (GCG)

Cosian
This humanoid, alien race was distinguished by its cameloid appearance, which included a long neck that supported a stout skull. The snout of a Cosian was covered with thick skin that gave the mouth a beak-like appearance, and a heavy brow protected the eyes. A crown of thick hair covered the head, and was often grown into two tresses that hung down in front of the ears. The hands of a Cosian were distinguished by long, supple fingers, while the feet were stout and tipped with short claws. The thick tail of a Cosian was used for balance and stability, and it was tipped with a cone-shaped shock of fur. (CWTV31, CWTV33)

Coslen Dantoinal
The meat of this creature was considered a delicacy, and was served on some of the galaxy's finest luxury starliners. (RM)

Cosmic Balance, The
A religion embraced by the Bakurans, the Cosmic Balance was believed to have been first formed on the planet Hemei IV. It was symbolized by a half-black, half-white ring. The core of the beliefs held by followers of the Cosmic Balance was that, for every good deed, there was an equal bad deed. The opposite was also true: for every bad deed, a good deed followed to balance it out. For this reason, most followers of the Cosmic Balance led very neutral lives, avoiding doing exceptionally good deeds for fear of a later bad thing happening. Followers of the Cosmis Balance believed that the Jedi Knights upset the universal balance through their use of The Force to ensure justice in the galaxy. The universe was ruled by the Cosmos, and there was a faith in a Cosmic Wheel which was always turning and re-establishing balance. (TB, TBSB, NEGC, FH2)

Cosmic Chance
This casino game allows a player to try and manipulate random rays of light to strike a predetermined target. Luke Skywalker once played Cosmic Chance on Vorzyd 5, striking three targets in a row by using his then-immature ability to bend the rays with the Force. This attracted a great deal of attention, since hitting a single target was rare enough. It also drew Imperial notice, and Luke and Leia Organa were intercepted in a travel tube. (CSWEA)

Cosmic Egg, The
This was a religious icon of the Kitonak race. (TJP)

Cosmic Force
This was a term used by Barriss Offee to describe the extremely intense connection to the Force that she experienced after ingesting a small sample of bota extract. Belief in the Cosmic Force was not widespread throughout the Jedi Order, and only the so-called Old Teachings described it in any sort of detail. The Cosmic Force was believed to be reached only through a lifetime of meditation and sacrifice, but rewarded the individual with connection that unified space and time in such a way that the individual could manipulate energy and matter at an elemental level. Through the Cosmic Force, one could transcend from their flesh-and-blood state to a plane where they existed as an immortal body of energy. Barriss Offee feared that, because the bota extract seemed to connect her to the Cosmic Force almost instantly, it might become a weapon in the hands of the Sith. She entrusted one of the only surviving samples to the droid I-5YQ, who could not reach the Jedi Temple before the end of the Clone Wars. I-5YQ planned to turn the sample over to Jax Pavan, but feared that Jax was too obvious a choice if Darth Vader or Darth Sidious every began searching for the sample. Instead, he entrusted the sample to Laranth Tarak. (CN2, CN3)

Cosmic Lord
This was another name for the Yuuzhan Vong deity Yun-Yuuzhan. (SBS)

Cosmic Overdrive
This was a slang term used to describe a starship's fastest possible sublight speed. (PZZ1)

Cosmic Turbine
This unusual piece of technology was discovered on the planet Vultar, by the Dark Siders who were fleeing the third Great Schism. After leaving Coruscant, the Dark Siders fled to Vultar, where they discovered the Cosmic Turbine among a wealth of alien technologies. These technologies were attributed to the Architects, who were believed to have created the unusual formations of the Corellian System and the Maw. However, when these Dark Jedi attempted to start the Cosmic Turbine, they soon discovered that they had no idea how to control it. Allowed to run by itself, the Cosmic Turbine eventually tore itself apart. In the destruction that ensued, the Dark Jedi were exterminated and the planet Vultar suffered massive damage. (NECH)

Coufee
An ancient Yuuzhan Vong weapon, the coufee was a large, double-edged knife. Developed in the earliest days of the Yuuzhan Vong warrior class, it was a crude but nonetheless effective weapon. After the hostilities between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance were resolved, and the Yuuzhan Vong were allowed to live on the planet Zonama Sekot, they found that coufees and many other bio-engineered weapons simply reverted to their animal forms and fled into the forests. This was one way in which Sekot forced the Yuuzhan Vong to give up their lust for war and embrace a more enlightened existence. (VP, UF)

Coufee Eel
This was one of the many unusual lifeforms that evolved on Coruscant, in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Named for their resemblance to a coufee blade, these eels became one of the favorite prey of the hawk-bat population that survived the devastation of the planet. (DN1)

Council
This planet was located in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy. It was situated between the worlds of Gerrenthum and Nothoiin, and was considered the governmental seat of the Nothoiin race.

Council of Alwari Elders
This was the name of the governing body formed when the Situng Borokii and Hovsgol Januul clans united, shortly before the Clone Wars. The two Alwari overclans joined after meeting with the Jedi Knights to discuss a treaty between the Alwari and the Unity of Community, a treaty which allowed Ansion to remain a member of the Old Republic. (APS)

Council of Chieftains
This was the planetary governing body formed by the Eklaad to mediate disputes and plan for future actions. After the Empire established a presence on Sirpar, the Council of Chieftains was disbanded. (AE)

(OF)

Council of First Knowledge
This Council of the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic was charged with advising the Jedi on matters which required the oldest of the ancient Jedi lore. The Council worked from the Tower of First Knowledge, the northwest tower of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (IWE1, PJSB, SWCL)

Council of Gordek
This four-member council was established by the Orfites to rule the various tribal sahhs. Each member was chosen by popular vote, and those elected to the Council served for life or until the Council decided that a new vote would be held. The choice of four representatives was rooted in Orfite history, and represented the four moons of Kidron as well as the four lungs each Orfite used to breathe. The Council was also charged with maintaining the secret of the ores located on the two largest moons of Kidron, Primor and Segual. (AE, PG3)

Council of Ithorian Elders
This body was formed in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, in an effort to ensure that the dishomed Ithorians of the galaxy had a voice in the Galactic Alliance Senate. (DN1)

Council of Matrons
This was the name given to the body of female Gamorreans that controlled the clans of the planet Gamorr. Each clan had its own Council, which made the decisions about war, including when to go to war and which clans to wage war against. (EGA, NEGA)

Council of Ministers
This was the primary advisory body of Galacian politics, supporting the monarchy but wielding little actual power. (MOC)

Council of Moffs
This was another name for the Moff Council, which controlled the Imperial Remnant during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong War. (LF8)

Council of Neutral Systems
Formed during the early stages of the Clone Wars, the Council of Neutral Systems was created as a union of star systems that wanted to remain completely neutral during the conflict. More than 1,500 systems joined the Council, hoping that their combined numbers were give them the strength needed to stay out of the fighting and protect their worlds from harm. About a year after the Battle of Geonosis, Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore was named the leader of the Council. (CWTV34)

Council of Reconciliation
This Council of the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic was charged with seeking out peaceful resolutions to the conflicts which raged across the galaxy during the last decades of the Old Republic. This council was also charged with supplying aid to those member worlds which suffered incredible natural or man-made disasters. It was a five-member body whose membership was rotated often to avoid partiality. Like the Council of First Knowledge, the Council of Reconciliation worked in the Tower of Reconciliaton, the southeastern tower of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. (IWE1, PJSB, SWCL)

Council of Security and Intelligence
This New Republic Senatorial group's identity was so secret and hidden that rumors of its existence were often viewed as invalid or bold-faced lies. They met in a shielded room deep below Imperial Palace, and were in control of the use of Alpha Blue. The Council of Security and Intelligence was later replaced by the aptly-named Security and Intelligence Council, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. (SOL, LF2)

Council of Separatists
This was the term used to describe the leaders of the various galactic guilds and unions that sided with Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the Clone Wars. Leaders from the Techno Union, the Commerce Guild, the Corporate Alliance, the Hyper-Communications Cartel, the Trade Federation and the InterGalactic Banking Clan all held positions on the Council, although they ultimately had to answer to Dooku himself. Membership included Wat Tambor, Passel Argente, Po Nudo, San Hill, Poggle the Lesser, Nute Gunray, and Shu Mai. The entire Council of Separatists was gathered together by General Grievous near the end of the Clone Wars, ostensibly to protect them from harm at the hands of the Republic. However, it was all part of Chancellor Palpatine's plot to assume control of the galaxy. After secreting the Council away on Mustafar, Palpatine ordered Anakin Skywalker to travel to Mustafar and eliminate them. With the extermination of the Council of Separatists, Palpatine was able to declare to the Senate that the Clone Wars were over. This allowed Palpatine to assume complete control of the galaxy. (LEV, IS3, CVD)

Council of Sisters
A convention of the ruling women of the Singing Mountain clan on Dathomir. A council was convened in times of need, to decide the position of the clan on specific matters and to decide which paths to take. (SA)

Council of Ten

Council on the Common Defense
This group of eight New Republic Senators was charged with identifying the ways in which the Republic could properly defend itself, even as the Republic itself grew, during the decade following the Battle of Endor. The Council's charter was to provide the guidelines and funding for ensuring the safety and security of the Republic and its citizens. However, the Black Fleet Crisis arose before the Council could deliver its recommendations, forcing it into hiatus. (BTS)

Council Rock
This sheer, cliff-like pillar of volcanic basalt stone was located on the planet Kashyyyk. It was here that the Wookiees of the planet held their governmental meetings, during the years following the Swarm War. Tradition held that any being who wished to make an appeal to the leaders of the Wookiee civilization had to make the trek to Council Rock on foot, to show their desire and strength of purpose. The approach to Council Rock was blocked by a gated archway formed from living wroshyr trees, which were dwarfed in size by the rise of the stone itself. A pair of Wookiee guards stood sentry at the archway, ensuring that no being passed through the gates when the Rock Council was in session.

The Rock Council itself met at the top of Council Rock, requiring any Wookiee who wished to petition the council to climb a spiral set of stairs that were carved into the stone. The right to speak at a council meeting was determined by the possession of a meter-long tyrossum jawbone. Whoever held the jawbone, which was known as Talking Bone, had the right to speak, and any other individual had to either be granted permission to speak or earn it - by fighting for possession of the jawbone - from the current speaker. However, violence was not permitted, so the use of claws, teeth, weapons, or the Force was strictly prohibited. (LF6)

Council Tower
This was the primary governmental building found on the planet Skye. The native S'kytri made offworlders travel across an open-air causeway in order to reach the Council Tower, forcing them to walk a great distance while suspended many decameters in the air. Entrance to the Tower was best accomplished by winged species, and the S'kytri hoped to discourage offworlders from visiting Skye by using the causeway. (GMR1)

Counter Puncher
This pirate ship was a converted Imperial Customs frigate. It crew defected, led by Tor Skylow, during the Imperial occupation of the Minos Cluster. Skylow allowed any staunchly Imperial crewmen to be jettisoned in escape pods, but the ship was hers. She and her new crew took the ship to Yelsain for modifications, in order to remove any Imperial designation or inference from the ship's outline. The Counter Puncher measured 35 meters in length, and Skylow's crew consisted of 6 officers and 6 gunners. It was armed with six heavy laser cannons. (GG6)

Countermeasures Compensation Computer
see C3 Computer (ISB)

Countermeasures Package
This was the generic term used to describe any starship system that helped a ship avoid pursuit. A countermeasures package could be as simple as a chaff launcher, or as sophisticated as an IFF Confuser system. (DFR, SWG2P)

Counterpunch
This Imperial Carrack-class warship was part of Zsinj's third fleet, during the early years of the New Republic. The ship was destroyed by the security forces of the planet Vispil, whose governmental leaders refused to keep taking the bribes Zsinj paid them for use of the facilities on the planet. (SOC)

Countersensor Measures
This was a form of starship jamming system that prevented an enemy vessel from using its sensors to probe a ship and determine it crew complement, weapons systems, and operation status. (LSSM)

Counting Out
This was a slang term used by smugglers during the era of the Galactic Civil War to describe the act of stopping a mission or job without actually completing it. Also known as cutting out, this act was often frowned upon by prospective employers. (SWJ4, OWS)

Count-out
Known as a CO, this was the term used in shockboxing to describe any bout that ended with an opponent being unable to continue fighting after the referee gave them a count of eight to return to the bout. A Count-out usually occurred when an opponent was stunned into unconsciousness, but could be called for any physical blow that forced a fighter out of a match. (OWS)

Counts of Serenno
This was the collective term used to describe the various noble houses that made up the leadership of the planet Serenno. During the years following the Battle of Ruusan, the Counts of Serenno were believed to been among the wealthiest and most influential beings in the galaxy. They were also among the most independent beings, and refused to blindly accept the orders of the Galactic Senate. Many of them would have preferred to remain neutral in galactic politics, but an assassination attempt on the life of former Chancellor Tarsus Valorum on Serenno changed their minds. Valorum survived the attempt, thanks to the presence of Jedi Knight Johun Othone, and the Counts rallied around the words of Count Nalju. They pledged their financial and political support to eradicating separatism on their planet. (DBRT)

Coup Abduction
This was the term used to describe the almost-ritualistic abduction of a royal child by a rival faction, on the planet Munto Codru. Under the rules of Codru-Ji society, these coup abductions were meant to force one family to ransom a portion of their holdings to the kidnapping faction, thereby reducing their control over some aspect of Codru-Ji society. (NECH)

Courage
This Skipray Blastboat was owned by the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. Luke Skywalker and Jacen Solo flew it to Belkadan after the initial thrust of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion was thwarted at Helska, and discovered that the planet had been turned into a breeding ground for the Vong's biological constructs. (DTO)

Courage
This was one of the Thranta-class warships slaved to the Another Chance to protect it from being taken by hostile forces. Like its companions, the Fidelity and Valiant, it would accompany the Another Chance as it jumped through hyperspace to avoid detection. One of the Thranta-class ships would enter realspace before the Another Chance to engage any resistance, the second would accompany it for protection, and the third would help draw off pursuit. (BW)

Courage of Sullust
This Gallofree Shipyards Medium Transport was operated by the New Republic, and was used to ferry the Rogue Squadron X-Wings from Coruscant to Ryloth during the Krytos crisis. The Rogues hoped to negotiate with the Twi'leks for quantities of kor ryll, for use in treating the victims of the Krytos virus. The Courage of Sullust was filled with ryll for the return trip, with Rogue Squadron providing escort. (KT)

Courageous
This modified YT-1300 freighter was originally purchased for use by pirates, and was later part of a planetary defense force. The Courageous made no pretensions about being a cargo ship: it was designed to be an offensive force. The front half of the ship was completely removed and replaced with the front sections of a Corellian gunship. A pair of heavy turbolasers, once installed on a Nebulon-B frigate, were installed to give the ship an awesome punch; upgraded power converters were also installed to supply the weapons with power. A turret-mounted double laser cannon completed the armaments. Overall, the Courageous measured 29 meters in length, and required a crew of two officers and two gunners. In its modified configuration, the Courageous could transport just two metric tons of cargo and two passengers. (GMR2)

Courageous
This was one of the multitude of Imperial-class Star Destroyers which made up the Imperial Navy fleet, destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Courageous
This vessel was the flagship of the Old Republic task force that tried to expel the Separatists from the Ywllandr System, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. Jedi Master Plo Koon was placed in command of the mission. (E3N)

Courageous
This Inexpugnable-class warship served as one of the Old Republic's flagships during the Mandalorian Wars, some 3,964 years before the Battle of Yavin. Like the other five ships in its class, the Courageous was produced by Rendili/Vanjervalis Drive Yards to coordinate the activities of other line vessels, such as the Hammerhead-class cruiser. Many military observers later claimed that the Inexpugnable-class ships were produced to market and sell the Hammerhead-class cruiser. The command center of the ship was located on the ship's bottom, just above a descending section that gave the Courageous stability and maneuvering capability. Atop the main hull were three massive sublight engines. The underside was dominated by two weapons turrets, each of which was equipped with a pair of double turbolasers. The ship's command center was unique in that it had viewports that gave the ship's commander, Saul Karath, a view of space both forward and below the command center. Tacticians and coordinators who worked on the bridge sat in chairs that seemed to extend into open space. A holographic display dominated the bridge, providing the command crew with realtime displays of the battlezone.

The Courageous led the defense of the planets Taris and Vanquo, in what later became known as The Onslaught, and Captain Karath was promoted to Rear Admiral for his heroic efforts. The ship was then sent to Ralltiir to get supplies before sent into battle once again. The fleet massed at Serroco, where intelligence indicated the Mandalorians would strike next. The Mandalorians did attack, but they first wiped out all inhabited surface areas of the planet with nuclear weapons. With the Republic's forces looking on in stunned amazement, the Mandalorians attacked with a vengenace. The Courageous came under heavy fire and was soon boarded, forcing Admiral Karath to order an immediate evacuation of all hands. The Courageous was scuttled and abandoned, and many of the survivors fled to the nearby planet of Arkania. Much of the debris from the Courageous was recovered by the Mandalorians, and the Mandalore himself had a large battle-ax forged from its hull plating. (KOR2, KOR4, KOR5, KOR6, KORH)

Courane
This New Republic cruiser was stationed at Durren, in the early years of the New Republic. Along with the Fireater, it was dispatched to Cybloc XII to investigate the spread of the Death Seed plague there. (POT)

Courataine
This was an alien race whose gelatinous form was contained in a protective exoskeleton. This exoskeleton must be manufactured, as the Courataine could not naturally generate one. They breathed a very thin atmosphere on their home world, and had to carry a special processor built into their exoskeleton suits in order to survive off-planet. (HSR)

Courenth
This gaseous substance was used as an engine coolant. When mixed with ves, the combination created a gas which can disperse a blaster bolt on contact. (CFG, GFT)

Courier Communications
This corporation produced a wide range of communications scanners and other devices for use by scouts and paramilitary personnel. (ROE)

Courier Drone
This was a generic term used to describe any small, automated starship that was designed to carry messages between star systems. These ships had limited hyperspace capability, often with just enough computing power to chart the destinations of any messages it carried. (DOG)

Courier Shuttle
This small vessel was common in the corporate fleets of the galaxy, during the years following the Swarm War. Measuring fifteen meters in length, the courier shuttle was designed to move important beings and equipment from location to location. In order to protect its cargo and the lives of its passengers, the courier shuttle was equipped with a fast hyperdrive and minimal armament. (LF5)

Courier-class Transport
This outdated transport vessel was produced by Republic Sienar Systems during the final decades of the Old Republic. However, the Courier-class proved to be exceptionally durable, and many of these ships were still in use during the era following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (DN3)

Courkrus
This planet, the fourth in the Khuiumin System, was the home of the Survivors pirate fleet. It was a dry world settled in the early years of the Old Republic. It was sometimes called simply Khuiumin 4. It had two moons. (IJ)

Court Gazette
A Senatorial journal produced during the Old Republic on Coruscant, it kept up with the day-to-day business of the Senate, as well as any gossip surrounding it. (COJ)

Court of Appeals, The
This was one of the many judicial buildings located on the planet Coruscant, during the final decades of the Old Republic. The Court of Appeals handled those cases that required a subsequent investigation, whenever one party disagreed with the outcome of their trial. The Court of Appeals was located in the Central Court Complex, and was badly damaged in a terrorist attack, about a year after the onset of the Clone Wars, when Separatist supporters tried to strike fear into the hearts of Coruscant's citizens. (CWWS)

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

Court of the Fountain
Mos Eisley's highest-class restaurant, it was a sprawling palace made fom stone and stucco, a leftover from better days. Jabba the Hutt owned the restaurant during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TME, IWST)

Court of the Royal Residence
This was the name given to the perator's palace in the city of Cartann, on the planet Adumar. (SOA)

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

Courtier
This was a variant of the game of dejarik, which was based entirely on skill and strategy. (YDR)

Courtra'paeas
This Em'liy god was known as the Mischievous One. (GMR1)

Courts of Justice Building
This was another name for the Galactic Courts of Justice Building on Coruscant. (FJ1)

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

Cov
This clone commando was a member of Yayax Squad during the Clone Wars, and trained under Rav Bralor on the planet Kamino. When General Grievous launched his attack on Coruscant in an attempt to capture Chancellor Palpatine, Sergeant Cov was ordered by Ordo to round up as many clones as he could find to defend the HoloNet News and Entertainment headquarters on Coruscant, so that HNE could continue to broadcast emergency information to the civilian populace. When Cov learned that Sev, a member of Delta Squad, had been left behind on Kashyyyk, he immediately denounced the other members of Delta Squad for not returning to rescue their brother, despite having orders from Jedi Masters Quinlan Vos and Yoda to retreat. Cov and his men eventually decided to leave the service of the Grand Army of the Republic in the wake of the so-called Jedi Rebellion, and joined Kal Skirata's band of defectors on Mandalore. (RC66)

Cova
This pilot, a native of Tun Wala on Arda-2, was injured in a military exercise just before Luke Skywalker arrived on Arda-2 to investigate the misuse of T-6 diodems. His position in the fleet was taken by Zon Zorad. (CSWEA)

Covado
This was a species of plant that used in Ithorian salads. (GA)

Covah
This Nothoiin refugeee fled Imperial persecution during the height of the Galactic Civil War by hiring Solomahal to transport him to a remote location in the Greater Javin region of the galaxy. (WOA33)

Covallon
A race of lupine sentients, Covallon evolved form swift quadrepedal plains predators. They were an empathic race, able to sense the emotions of other beings around them. While they prefer to move about on all fours, Covallon can walk upright, and their front paws were equipped with fingers capable of fine manipulation. They have a large mane of fur behind their bony heads, and their skulls were topped with a single curved horn. Their bodies were covered with striped fur. (CRO)

Covell, Freja
This man served as an Imperial Army General, attached to the Chimaera's crew, during Grand Admiral Thrawn's reign of terror. A native of the planet Corulag, Covell trained under General Veers, and was a battlegroup leader in the attack on the Alliance's Echo Base on Hoth. He knew that the Army was the part of the Imperial war machine that did all the dirty work, while the Navy stayed in their starships and ordered everyone around. When his walker was destroyed, he rallied a group of snowtroopers and attacked the main base. Captain Pellaeon promoted him to General and attached him to the Chimaera after the Battle of Endor, and Covell was placed in charge of many of the fleet's ground offensives, including the attack on Myrkr. Covell's patience with the Navy became more strained after Thrawn re-appeared, since the ground forces were often dispatched on clean-up missions, or forced to wait for orders from the Navy. When Joruus C'baoth needed to have ground forces in his assault on Wayland, C'baoth took control of Covell's mind with the Force. This worked well, until they reached Wayland and encountered a ysalamir null-Force bubble. The loss of the Force ripped away Covell's mind when the link was broken, and Covell was killed. (HTTE, DFR, TLC, DFRSB)

Coven, Drach
This small-time Corellian thug worked as a gun-for-hire on the planet Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. As members of the Interstellar Trading League, Coven and his crew worked aboard the modified vessel Far Ranger, taking whatever jobs were tossed their way. Several months after the end of the Clone Wars, Coven was contacted by Haninum Tyk Rhinann, who wanted the thugs to locate and capture Nick Rostu for questioning. Coven managed to track Rostu to a shronker arcade, where he knocked Rostu unconscious and then brought him aboard the Far Ranger. Although Coven and the crew delivered Rostu as agreed, they were arrested for crimes against the Mercantile Guild as soon as Rhinann accepted Rostu into custody. Coven pleaded that he had rights as a members of the Interstellar Trading League, but Rhinann refused to listen. The Far Ranger was impounded, and Coven and his crew were sent to prison. Under new Imperial laws, Coven and the others were executed almost immediately for their crimes. This also helped ensure that no word of Rhinann's plans were ever made public. (CN1)

Coven, Sig
This man was a self-proclaimed "independent fortune seeker and scout." During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Coven believed that he had discovered the location of the Kragg's Fist within the VV-99-7JE-2N71 star system. The ship was rumored to hold the riches of the Nijune Treasure Fleet. He sold the information to Jonas Durns, and later joined the expedition to locate it. However, when they were unable to break the coded entry system - based on the fact that Hez Kragg had spelled the word "Fury" with an I instead of a Y, in accordance with his homeworld's native language - they set off a series of automated defenses. The Kragg's Fury plunged itself into the orange-yellow star of the system, but not before the explorers escaped with a huge gemstone as proof of their finding. (SWJ7)

Covenant, The
This was the name adopted by the circle of former and current Jedi Knights who supported the efforts of Lady Krynda Draay in silently protecting the galaxy from unseen threats, during the years following the Great Sith War. Formed from several Jedi Knights and Padawans who had the ability to foresee the future, the Covenant worked behind the scenes to begin amassing the resources that might be needed to defend the galaxy. To this end, their talents were used not only to identify potential threats, but to manage investments in various banks and corporations throughout the galaxy.

Among the members of the Covenant were Lady Draay's son, Lucien, as well as Q'Anilia, Raana Tey, Xamar, and Feln. These individuals were also known as the First WatchCircle. The group's financial affairs were maintained by Haazen, and only Lucien was allowed to understand the full nature of the Covenant's activities. Lady Krynda also accepted other Padawans from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, hoping to keep the Covenant's abilities as strong as possible.

While the Covenant worked separately from the Jedi Order, they maintained connections to the various Watchcircles that were formed for similar purposes, as well as many contacts within the Jedi Temple. (KOR5, KORH)

Covenanter
This was the term used by those Jedi Knights who left the Jedi Order in support of Lady Krynda Draay, during the decades following the Great Sith War. Lady Krynda had formed The Covenant in an attempt to pore through various visions of the future and determine when and where the greatest threats to the galaxy might occur. (KOR10)

Covert Retaliation
This sniper rifle was produced during the height of the New Order. The Covert Retaliation rifle was available with bio-link connectivity, making it popular with bounty hunters and assassins. (SWGAL)

Covert Shroud Maneuver
This escape tactic was developed by starship operators who wanted to avoid being caught in a tractor beam. The basic idea was for the fleeing starship to eject a cloud of reflective particles that actually reflected the tractor beam in various directions. This allowed the starship to break free of the beam and escape. Often, this resulted in a loop snarl in the tractor beam system, which shut the targeting system down completely. An interesting variant on the covert shroud maneuver was a last-ditch escape or an infiltration plan. It employed a smaller ship hidden inside a larger one, obscuring the true mission of the smaller vessel. When the larger ship became caught by a tractor beam, the crew set the larger ship to auto-destruct, creating a cluster of reflective pieces that confused the tractor beam targetting system. This allowed the crew to escape in the smaller ship. This manevuer was popular during the New Order because it was virtually impossible to counteract. Grand Admiral Thrawn once assigned Lieutenant Rejili Mithel the objective of discovering a way to break it, after Mithel nearly recaptured Luke Skywalker's X-Wing. (TLC)

Coveway
This Outer Rim planet was settled by a colonization expedition many years before the rise of the Empire. The planet was not the most idyllic world, but the colonists were hardy and persevered to create a world of their own. When the New Order began making inroads into the Outer Rim, they decided that Coveway needed its own garrison. The local commander wiped out an entire village of settlers in order to ensure the security of the base. (TTSB)

Covey, The
This asteroid field was located between the ninth and tenth planets in the Coruscant System. (PH)

Covies
This was a nickname given to the human inhabitants of New Cov. (DFR)

Covington, Felicia
This young woman was the daughter of Wernell Covington. About 25 years before the Battle of Yavin, Felicia was kidnapped and held for ransom. Her father planned to pay it, but the deal went bad and the kidnappers panicked. They forced Felicia out of an airlock on the ship they were using as their base, and she was killed instantly. Her father spent the rest of his life hunting down and killing the kidnappers, in order to avenge her death. (SWGAL)

Covington, Wernell
This wealthy man retired to the city of Narmle, on the moon Rori, during the height of the New Order. More than 25 years before the Battle of Yavin, Wernell lost his daughter, Felicia, to a group of kidnappers. She was being held for ransom aboard a starship, and Wernell had planned to pay the ransom. However, the deal went bad, and the kidnappers panicked. They forced Felicia out of an airlock, killing her instantly, before fleeing into space. Wernell spent the rest of his life hunting down and killing the kidnappers, in order to avenge his daughter's death. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, Wernell had personally killed all but two of the kidnappers. However, advancing age forced him to hire a group of freelance operatives to eliminate the final two kidnappers. (SWGAL)

Covis, Spane
A member of the Alliance team working on Nar Shaddaa just before the Battle of Yavin, Covis was a member of the Special Forces. He was a sentry on guard when the Imperials, on a tip from Greedo and Spurch Goa, invaded the Alliance warehouse. The early warning provided by Covis allowed the Alliance to defeat the first wave of Imperials and escape before the Imperials brought in their Death Engine. (TME)

Cov-Prim, Alexis
This woman was a star of several Imperial holovids, and was famous during the height of the New Order. She had extravagant tastes, and in order to fund them she worked with the bounty hunter Malthorn to obtain credits any way they could. Among their schemes was Alexis' marriage to five wealthy men between the time of the Battle of Yavin and the Battle of Hoth. Each man died shortly after the weddings. Alexis was named the sole beneficiary in each man's will, thereby providing her with a steady stream of credits. It was later discovered that Malthorn killed the new grooms, making their deaths look as natural as possible. When she learned of the auction of the Shard of Alderaan by Begas Tok, Alexis and Malthorn traveled to Tatooine in an effort to locate husband number six. Her treachery was later exposed by Sella Marik. (LAA)

Cowall, Tetran
This man was Garik Loran's chief rival, during their years as actors for various companies working for the Empire. Both were rivals at everything, from movie roles to pilot training. They were both holofeature stars, but Cowall's popularity dwindled as he grew older and more homely. Cowall, eventually, joined Imperial service as a pilot, although his skills were not very good. It was to Tetran Cowall that Ton Phanan's small fortune would have gone upon his death, if Loran hadn't had his facial scars surgically removed. He found employment with Warlord Zsinj, who placed Cowall in command of a squadron made from TIE Interceptors piloted by six humans and six droid starfighters known as TIE Raptors. The droids allowed the human pilots to perform above their skills by offloading certain duties, which provided the outward appearance that Cowall's squadron was the 181st Fighter Group. After Zsinj was defeated at Selaggis Six, it was revealed that Cowall had been impersonating Baron Soontir Fell, in an effort to draw Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron into a more personal fight. In the aftermath of the Battle of Selaggis, Cowall revealed the depeption to Wedge. (IF, SOC)

Coway
A race of small, fur-covered humanoids native to Circarpous V. They were thought to be distant relatives of the Mimbanites. They live in the abandoned Thrella Wells. They were slim humanoids with downy grey fur. Their eyes were sunk deep into their skulls. They wear rudimentary clothing, and have a limited ability to create weapons. Their level of technology was low, but they seem to have some experience with the surface-dwelling races. They seem to have a simple leadership scheme in which three members of the society make the decisions. (SME)

Cowill
This shellfish, native to the planet Calamari, produced a shell that was nearly impervious to energy weapons. The Mon Calamari Knights wove cowill shells together with carbon-fiber to create shields. (SWDB)

Cowl Crucible
This nebulous area of space was located along the edge of the Lahara Sector, where it bordered with Oricho Sector. The gaseous region was dense with radiation, making any travel through the Cowl Crucible risky and dangerous. (HNN5)

Cowlpup
A small but ferocious creature often used to guard buildings. (BTS)

Coy
This red-haired man served the Empire as a Naval officer, holding the rank of Admiral during the height of the New Order and commanding the Star Destroyer Mathayus. When Emperor Palpatine assigned Coy and the Mathayus to Darth Vader during his mission to Dargulli, Coy questioned the use of a Star Destroyer to hunt down a single criminal. Vader, already angry at having to undertake the mission to hunt down the supposed Jedi on Dargulli, nearly strangled Coy with the Force. When a distress signal came from an Alliance base near Yorn Skot, Vader allowed Admiral Coy to take his ship and intercept the rebels. Unfortunately for Coy, the Alliance had laid a trap for the Imperials. The ship which was intercepted by the Mathayus was a decoy, laden with explosives that were set to go off should the ship's hull be breached. Coy dispatched First Officer Atali to take control of any beings inside the Alliance ship, but he inadvertently set off the explosives. Atali and his team were killed, and the Mathayus was badly damaged. Unknown to the crew, the entire sidetrip had been arranged by Captain Dezsetes, as part of Grand Moff Trachta's plans to take over the galaxy. Vader, however, managed to survive the explosion. When Coy could not stand up to Vader's demands, he was shot and killed by Dezsetes in order to eliminate any possible linkage back to Trachta. (SWI62, SWEB)

Coyle, Hurd
This grizzled veteran of the spacelanes made a living as a salvager, during the final years of the Old Republic. In the wake of the Clone Wars, he found that it was easier to crew his freighter with reprogrammed battle droids than with living beings, as the battle droids obeyed his every command. During one flight, his droids encountered a V-19 Torrent starfighter adrift in space. After recovering the ship, they found a clone trooper pilot inside, barely still alive. Coyle gave the clone medical care, and with the help of his droids, nursed the clone back to health. The clone was surprised to find out that the command to execute Order 66 had been issued, and thought that Coyle was a Separatist supporter who was playing tricks on him.

Just after learning that the clone had escaped, Coyle's ship was intercepted by a Imperial cruiser that demanded to search his cargo. Coyle feared this moment would come, because he was not only transporting the clone, but a group of Jedi students was hiding in one of the holds. The children were nearly discovered when an Imperial cruiser intercepted Coyle's ship and demanded to see its cargo holds. The rescued clone, who was designated HOB-147, came to their rescue, explaining that he had been rescued by Coyle, and that the ship was otherwise empty. (CWA9)

Coyn
This planet was the primary planet in the Coyn System, located in the Elrood Sector. It was located at the crossroads of the Elrood-Derilyn Trade Route and the Coyn Run. Coyn was the homeworld of the fierce, warrior race known as the Coynites, who hold honor and ritual above all else. The average day on Coyn lasted 20 standard hours, and its year lasted 380 local days. This temperate world was blanketed with forests, marshes, and plains broken by beautiful mountain ranges. (PG3)

Coyn Route
This hyperspace travel route was located in the Elrood Sector of the galaxy, and connected the sector to the Rimma Trade Route. (SSOG)

Coyn Run
A shipping route that runs through the Coyn planetary system. (PG3)

Coyn Shipyards
This small starshipwright was based on the planet Coyn, and supplied Elrood Sector with a variety of custom-made ships. (PG3)

Coynek
This orange star, located in Elrood Sector, was the primary body in the Coyn System. Its name literally meant "the light of land of conflict and blood." (PG3)

Coynite
The fierce, warrior race which was native to the planet Coyn, the Coynites stand nearly three meters tall. Their bodies were covered with fine fur, which ranged in color from white or gold to brown and black. Their heads were crowned by a mane of longer hair, and the length of the mane indicated the individual's social status. Coynites were natural warriors, and almost always wear some form of battle armor and weapon. Xenobiologists have guessed that the average Coynite could live to be 250 standards years old, but most males died in combat by the time they were 55. They hold to a rigid system of ritual and honor codes known as the En'Tra'Sol, that governed not only battle but politics. Offworlders were killed for not adhering to this code. The Coynites respected and admired the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic, since the Jedi Code was similar to the En'Tra'Sol in many respects. One code was known as the Cradle Law. (PG3, SWJ2, SWJ3, AE)

Coynite Disruptor
This unusual disruptor pistol was produced by several weapons manufacturers on Coyn, during the height of the New Order. The Coynite Disruptor was unusual in that it was bio-linked to the shooter, providing an additional measure of accuracy and speed. (SWGAL)

Coynite Quasar
This pirate gang terrorized the spacelanes near the planet Dathomir, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWGAL)

Coyn'skar
This weapon was a form of ceremonial polearm used by Coynites in combat. (OE)

Coyn'Skraj'Har
This was the primary naval fleet which patrolled and protected the Coyn System, during the height of the New Order. Its name literally meant "Coyn sky blade," and it ensured that every ship traveling in the system had authorization to do so. (PG3)

Cozzell Corporation
This was a small armorer, active during the early years of the New Republic. (GUN)

CP-3.3
This incredibly powerful, miniature hologram projection unit was developed by Corellidyne Visuals. The CP-3.3 was incapable of recording information, and because of its small size could only hold the information for a single appearance. This required that the user already have a three-dimensional representation stored somewhere for retrieval. The CP-3.3 was incorporated into the CQ-3.9X image disguiser, along with the CX-3.1 holographic recorder. (EGW)

CPD-113
This tall, thin, humanoid droid was placed in the Pasarian Memorial Atmospheric Reclamation Complex Project facility in the Bluenek Section of Coruscant by the Imperial Intelligence division. Ostensibly the greeter for any being interested in the ways in which Coruscant's atmosphere was kept clean, CPD-113 scanned for those being who lacked clearance to enter Bluenek's other facilities, where Imperial Intelligence maintained a base of operations. CPD-113 was also part of the droid staff which was under the direct command of Emperor Palpatine, and answered to his orders alone. This meant that, should the Emperor have ever wanted to eliminate the population of Coruscant by shutting off the atmosphere scrubbing system, CPD-113 would have directed the other droids to act accordingly. (EL2)

CPD-12
Produced by Bacnor Armaments, this personal protection device resembled a lightsaber in form. Inside was an ammo canister filled with pellets. When activated, the CPD-12 first emitted a stream of plasma energy that dissolved the casing on the ammo canister. The resulting combination of plasma and pellets could be sprayed in a cone-shaped beam five meters long and three meters across, allowing a victim to stop a group of attackers. (GFT)

CQ-3.9X
This personal, holographic image disguiser was produced by Corellidyne Holographics. It employed a CX-3.1 recorder to obtain a complete, three-dimensional image of what the user wanted to look like. The recorder stored the information and fed it to a CP-3.3 miniature projection unit for display. The CQ-3.9X was small enough to fit in a belt-buckle sized package, and allowed the user to move about in public with the appearance of another being. The size and shape of the disguise was not limited, but had to be at least the size of the user. A larger appearance could be discovered if the user was not careful to avoid walking "through" objects. (EGW)

CR-1
This model of hand-held blaster cannon was produced by Golan Arms during the last decades of the Old Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. They were known for their adaptability and upgradability, which allowed the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to employ the CR-1 in a variety of battlefronts. Decades laters, several shipments of CR-1 weapons were stolen from a depot in the Ac'fren Spur during the fighting, and many of these weapons ended up in the hands of the Alliance. The thick-barreled CR-1 was noted for the way it fired multiple blaster bolts with each shot, making it a formidable anti-personnel weapon at close range. (LAWS, SWDB)

CR-2
This model of blaster was used by the Naboo Security Guards in the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. Produced by Corellian Arms, it was a small, compact weapon. (IG1, SON)

CR20
This was a Corellian Engineering Corporation troop transport ship that was modified for use by the Old Republic during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Based on the design of the larger Republic Cruiser, the CR20 measured 60 meters in length, and had a deep-bellied hull. The ship's crew compliment included a pilot, co-pilot, communications officer, and three engineers. To protect itself, the CR20 was armed with a pair of double turbolaser cannons. As refitted for the Grand Army of the Republic, the CR20 could accommodate up to forty clone troopers, twelve speederbikes, and any necessary supplies. The mission profile of the CR20 was for the planetside deployment of small forces, where an Acclamator-class transport was simply too impractical. (SWDB, SWI84)

CR-20
see CR20 (CWNOP)

CR-24
This was the model number of Merr-Sonn's flame projector rifle, which was a larger version of the C-22 flame carbine. The designs for the CR-24 were licensed to Czerka, who produced an identical weapon known as the CZ-24 Flamemaster. (EGW, AEG)

CR25
This Corellian Engineering Corporation transport ship was produced during the last decades of the Old Republic. Surplus CR25's were purchased by the Republic as drop ships that carried clone troopers into battle during the height of the Clone Wars. Larger than the CR20, the CR25 was favored by the clone commandos and the Galactic Marines because it had defendable airlocks that allowed for zero-gravity maneuvers. It also had more cargo space, allowing for up to eight LAAT/i gunships to be added to the ship's cargo. (SWI84)

CR-28
This was the designation of Merr-Sonn's largest flame-producing weapon, known to many weapons experts as a flame cannon. The CR-28 was designed to be mounted atop a tripod or on a vehicle, and was marketed for military use. The designs for the CR-28 were licensed to Czerka, which produced a version of the weapon known as the CZ-28 Flamestrike. (AEG)

CR-43 Low-Ride
This model of swoop was produced by the Caelli-Merced Syndicate, and was specially designed for use in swoopchasing. It measured 2.44 meters in length, and was designed to have a ride height of no more than 3.05 meters, in accordance with the regulations of sanctioned swoopchasing. (BSS)

CR-43X
This was a treet-legal version of the Caelli-Merced racing swoop. (BSS)

CR57
This was the callsign of one of the clone trooper commanders who were dispatched to the planet Thustra, during the height of the Clone Wars. The battle group had been dispatched to establish a beachhead on Thustra and make a strong show of force, without engaging the native Sephi in any way. The Sephi, however, were not going to remain with the Old Republic under any circumstances, and attacked the Republic's forces as soon as they arrived. CR57 and his squadron were among the first to encounter heavy resistance, and also among the first to die in battle. (J5)

CR70
This Corellian Engineering Corporation starship was the forerunner of the CR90 corvette. The CR70 measured 120 meters in length, and was only lightly armed and armored. When the CR90 began receiving rave reviews from the press, CEC offered the Vanguard c20 upgrade package, allowing CR70 owners to bring their older vessels up to the CR90 specification. This upgrade included enhanced armor plating and sensor systems, as well as a weapons upgrade. (SWI90)

CR90
This distinctive transport ship was built by the Corellian Engineering Corporation during the final decades of the Old Republic. These ships were often used as blockade runners, because of their speed and mobility. Their shape was known throughout the galaxy, with a hammerhead cockpit and eleven engines arranged in a four-three-four pattern at the rear. Note that Dark Apprentice indicates that the Corellian Corvette had twelve engines. They had a modular interior, which allowed the basic design to be modified for the specific needs of a ship's owner. The standard crew complement for the CR90 was between forty-six and 104 beings, depending on the mission profile. Some military missions required a crew upwards of 165 beings. The CR90 measured 150 meters in length, and could achiece 60 MGLT at sublight speeds. They were regarded as extremely vulnerable, however, because the primary solar collector and stabilizer fin were located dorsally, where they were easy targets for pursuing vessels. When these systems were disabled, the ship's ability to maneuver was severely disabled. The CR90 boasted the following shipboard systems:

During the Galactic Civil War, many Corellian Corvettes were modified to make up for the original design's weaknesses. The main solar collectors and stabilizer fins were incorporated into the hull, creating a long, pod-like shape instead of the angular shape of the original design. Most other shipboard components remained intact. (E4, SCRE, SWSB, TSC, DA, RASB)

Cra
This was one of the many family names used by the Bothan people. It translated loosely to "droid crafter". (GCG, WOTC)

Craasadi
This was the name of a Krevaaki individul, distinguished in the history of the planet Krevas. (UANT)

Crab, Finious
This less-than-reputable trader purchased the Lambarian Crab from Matas Havel. Believing himself to be a competent mechanic, Crab tore out the redundant systems in the YT-2400 transport and installed his own weapons systems. He also tore out the safety backups in order to feed more power to the heavy double laser cannon he installed. Unfortunately, Finious' skills as a mechanic were not the best, and on a run to Eriadu the life support systems failed. When the Lambarian Crab was discovered by Linx Mallicker and Fillio Androu, Crab was a dessicated corpse. (SS)

Crab Droid
Officially designated the LM-432, this multi-legged combat droid was used by the Separatists to maintain control of the planet Utapau during the height of the Clone Wars. Known as the Muckracker because of its ability to swiftly move about through swampy or marshy ground, the crab droid was developed in a variety of sizes to meet the needs of any terrain. Small, one-meter-tall crab droids were deployed for surveillance, while six-meter-tall versions were employed to clear pathways through underbrush and provide tracks for infantry. Each crab droid was based on the same basic design: a six-legged automaton that could move across virtually any terrain with ease. The forelegs of the crab droid were usually equipped with heavy-duty "claws" that could be driven into bedrock, providing stability and traction. Each of the remaining four legs were equipped with pincers that could be used to move small objects or provide additional gripping power. The body of the crab droid contained its central processor, as well as photoreceptors, sensory systems and targeting computers, and a communications system. It was even believed that a specialized version of the crab droid was created with Gungan bubble wort technology to provide shield generation. Unlike many of the other combat droids used by the Separatists, the crab droids were entirely designed and developed after the onset of the Clone Wars, with the combined resources of the Confederacy of Indepenent Systems working toward their production. With the end of the Clone Wars, all crab droids were issued orders to deactivate, as part of Darth Sidious' plan to consolidate military power and ensure the loyalty of his troops. Those units that survived the fighting were collected and sent to the Imperial Academy on Carida, where they were used in live-fire testing exercises. The technology in these units was later used during the early design phase of the MT-AT walker. (OWS, SWI81, VD3, X3, SWDB, NEGD)

Crab Nut
A legume found on Yavin 4. (DK)

Crab Spider
This immense, vicious arachnid was native to the jungles of Despayre. (DSTR)

Crab Tracer
This small surveillance device was created during the last decades of the Old Republic, and saw prominent use among the Hutt crimelords of the early years of the New Order. They were not intelligent enough to classify as droids, but their programming was nonetheless quite sophisticated for a device of its size. Each crab tracer was equipped with a tiny hypertransceiver, and could transmit its location to a central source via the HoloNet. (TF)

Crab-boy
This was the derogatory nickname coined by Goran Beviin and the Mandalorians to describe a Yuuzhan Vong warrior. (PM, LF5)

Crab-harp
This unusual crustacean was one of the many bio-engineered forms of life created by the Yuuzhan Vong. The crab-harp, as its name suggested, was bred for the sound it made as it moved its many legs together. Crab-harps were often set loose during ceremonies, to provide a form of background music. (UF)

Crace, Arhul
This Imperial Leiutenant was placed in command of the detachment that was charged with the mission of bringing the leadership of the Osaji Syndicate in for questioning, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Leiutenant Crace followed the trail of a group of freelance mercenaries who managed to assassinate Osaji Varanes and Osaji Uhares before locating Osaji Hux on Muskree. Crace and his team arrived just as Osaji Hux was going to kill the mercenaries, and a firefight broke out. In the dust and debris, Crace lost sight of Osaji Hux. The mercenaries who had been tracking her were eventually set free after questioning, and Crace began his search again. (WOA32)

Craci System
Located just within the boundaries of the Corporate Sector, this five-planet system was home to the Cracian Thumper. (RASB)

Cracian Thumper
The Cracian Thumper originated in the Craci System, although it was bred and trained for use as a form of transportation on a number of other worlds. The name "thumper" was given to the beast because it looked like it should thump along when it ran. However, the Thumper was one of the quietest animals known, and made virtually no noise when it moved. In addition to making a good mount, the Thumper was also a valuable companion in a fight, using its clawed forearms and feet, as well as its thick tail, to combat enemies. (RASB, DFR)

Crackdown
This was the designation of one of the Empire's largest police forces, established during the months following the Battle of Yavin to seek out and eliminate any rebellious cells or supporters of the Alliance. (GQRG)

Crackdown Dark Trooper
This was a form of Imperial combat droid developed from the original Stage 1 Dark Trooper, and put to use as part of the Empire's Crackdown unit of troops. (GQRG)

Cracken, Airen
Airen Cracken was born on Contruum some fifty years before the Battle of Yavin. Note that The Unifying Force indicates that Airen Cracken was seventy-five during the final stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He grew up his parent's farm, and was particulary adept at modifying and fixing machinery. He later opened a mechanic's shop, and repaired everything from landspeeders to holoprojectors. He married a Corellian woman namde Josta, and they had two children before the Empire took control of Contruum. Airen and a group of supporters took to the hills, in an effort to thwart the Imperial forces at every turn. Josta set up safehouses, while "Cracken's Crew" crippled stardocks, sabotaged mining operations, and destroyed supply depots.

As the Imperial commander began spending more and more time searching for specific saboteurs, the natives of Contruum developed their own militia. A hard-fought war was begun, and in the end, the Imperial Moff pulled out rather than waste more effort trying to subdue Contruum. Cracken recognized that the Empire was not as kind to other worlds in the galaxy, and decided to leave Josta and Contruum to fight for the Alliance. He provided valuable input during the early years of the Alliance, particularly in the areas of special forces operations. His knack for modifying devices to perform auxiliary tasks made him an invaluable teacher, and his bravery in the face of Imperial foes twice earned him the Nebula award. By the time of the Battle of Yavin, Cracken had been named the director of Alliance Intelligence. Despite his rank and position, Cracken was still a soldier at heart. During the Battle of Endor, Cracken served as a gunner aboard the Millennium Falcon, helping defend the ship during its assault on the second Death Start.

Cracken continued to serve the cause following the Battle of Endor, and became a respected statesman and military advisor for the New Republic. He was responsible for the New Republic's position when the Rogue Squadron pilots resigned their commissions, and also negotiated the transfer of the Virulence to Booster Terrik. When the Battle of Thyferra had been decided, Cracken informed Wedge Antilles that the Rogues' resignations were never actually processed, and they could have them back if the so desired. After they trained the first group of the Thyferran Aerospace Defense Force, they returned to the New Republic and took up the mantle of Rogue Squadron again. (HTTE, TLC, WG, CFG, BW, UF, CVD, RF3)

Cracken, Dena
This young woman was Airen Cracken's daughter. She had just started school about a year before the Battle of Hoth. (SWJ12)

Cracken, Josta
This Corellian woman ended up on the planet Contruum, where she met and eventually married Airen Cracken. She had his emotional fire, and when the Empire invaded the planet, she worked to establish safehouses for children and elderly natives threatened by Imperial forces. (SWJ12, CFG)

Cracken, Pash
A highly-proficient starfighter in the Republic, Pash was the son of Airen Cracken. A graduate of the Imperial Academy, Pash and his entire wing of TIE Fighter pilots defected to the Alliance, where they became known as the Cracken Flight Group. He flew A-Wings early in his career, and quickly moved up the ranks to become a squadron commander. Pash was also the namesake of the Cracken Twist, a maneuver he made famous in several battles. However, the people serving under him felt that his seeming invulnerablity and ability to survive any situation made them equally invulnerable. Pash's squadron soon started taking losses, and was placed under Varth's unit. Pash used this modification to apply for Rogue Squadron to help save good pilots. He served Wedge Antilles when the Rogues infiltrated Coruscant, as a prelude to the New Republic taking the planet back from the remnants of the Empire. He later returned to Varth's command, eventually serving at Generis just before the battles against Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Years later, when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Pash had risen through the ranks and attained the rank of Commander, and was assigned to command the Memory of Ithor during the final stages of the invasion. During Operation Trinity, however, the Memory of Ithor took considerable damage when the fleet was cut off from its reinforcements. Unable to control the resulting explosions, Cracken ordered a full evacuation. As the escape pods were jettisoned, the Memory of Ithor exploded, taking with it those who were still onboard. It was believed that Pash died in the explosion. Luckily, Pash and most of his crew were able to reach lifepods in time and escape the blast, only to be captured by the Yuuzhan Vong. They were taken to the prison camps on Selvaris, and maintained until they could be sacrificed.

However, the heroic efforts of Thorsh and three Biths managed to put Selvaris' location into the hands of the New Republic military, which launched a rescue mission to recover the prisoners. Cracken, Page, and a handful of others managed to escape aboard the Millennium Falcon to Caluula Station, where they were once again beset by the Yuuzhan Vong. When Han Solo was ready to return to Calamari, Cracken and several other soldiers decided to remain behind, to help defend Calulla as best they could. However, Caluula was quickly overrun and Cracken once again found himself a captive, and was transported to Coruscant to be sacrificed. His luck continued to hold, however, as a group of Shamed Ones rescued many of the sacrificial victims during their disruption of Shimrra's ceremony. Cracken was among them, and he helped the Shamed Ones form a tighter resistance. When the Galactic Alliance finally attacked Coruscant, Cracken and his Yuuzhan Vong guerrillas met up with Judder Page and his infiltration team, thanks to the efforts of Baljos Arnjak. (TLC, WG, FP, UF, SWI100)

Cracken Flight Group
This was the nickname used by the military personnel of the Alliance to Restore the Republic to describe Pash Cracken and the other seventy-one Imperial fighter pilots who defected to the Alliance. The wing had been together as TIE Fighter pilots, and defected as a unit. They remained together for many months, until the unit started taking losses and had to be broken up. (SWI100)

Cracken Twist
An escape maneuver developed by Pash Cracken, the Cracken Twist was more a form of subterfuge than an actual maneuver. Before the Twist could be accomplished, a set of hyperspace calculations was generated for transmission as the flight path for the ships. When executed properly, the team of escort ships maneuvered into a recalculated flight path that was altered based on the countdown to the start of the maneuver. If the maneuver was to start on the count of 2, the correct flight plan was altered by adding 2 to the second number of each coordinate in the original flight plan. Then, if an enemy intercepted the transmission of the coordinates, they would jump into hyperspace along a route that was visually similar to the escape route, but they would end up light-years away from the actual destination. The receiver of the altered coordinates simply subtracted 2 from the second numbers in the Cracken Twist coordinates, thereby ensuring an accurate depiction of the escape route. (TLC)

Cracken's Crew
This was the nickname used by those Contruum rebels who fought alongside Airen Cracken, following the Imperial occupation of the planet. They constantly wreaked havoc with Imperial supply depots and mining operations, and sabotaged stardocks and landing bays. They often left grafitti behind which declared "Cracken's Crew Says Hello." (CFG)

Cracken's Field Guide
Tjis manual of starship construction, maintenance, and modifications was used by Alliance personnel throughout the Galactic Civil War. (TB)

Cracken's Flight Group
The name given to the A-Wing pilots who served under Pash Cracken before he joined Rogue Squadron. The original Group was comprised of the pilots that defected form the Imperial Academy with Pash. During their escape, the Group managed to destroy the Victory-class Star Destroyer Exsanguinator, making them the stuff of rumors and stories. Pash's ability to survive nearly any engagement became legendary, and the pilots serving under him believed themselves equally invulnerable. This served only to reduce their sharpness, and many pilots started getting careless and killed. The Group was assimilated into Varth's command, and Pash joined the Rogues. (WG)

Crack-loo
A game of chance played in most casinos. (SL)

Cracknel
An appetizer. (TJP)

Cracknut
This snack food was popular with beer and ale, during the last years of the Old Republic. (MJH)

Cradle Law
Under Coynite honor code, the Cradle Law was the most binding. The law states that no male Coynite may marry, own land, or disobey their father's wishes until he becomes an adult. (SWJ2)

Cradle of the Galaxy
Amassed and produced by the Allied Tion Historical Society, this collection of pre-Republic era artifacts and documents was shown across the Core Worlds during the year leading up to the Clone Wars. Funded by Republic Siener Systems, the House of Tion, and the House of Cron, the museum displays focused on the civiliation of the galaxy during the era of Xim the Despot, and contained some of the best-presevered examples of early hyperspace technology found in the galaxy. The touring museum show as cut short by the onset of the Clone Wars. (HNN4)

Crado
This Cathar Jedi was apprenticed to Vodo Siosk-Baas, along with his lover, Sylvar. He idolized Exar Kun, seeing Kun as a strong source of power and skill. When Exar Kun rose to power as a Dark Lord of the Sith, he took Crado as a possessed apprentice when the Sith holocron exploded and sent shards of Dark Side energy into Crado. Under the spell of the ancient Sith, Crado accompanied Oss Wilum to Ambria to kill Master Thon. In a vicious battle with Nomi Sunrider, Thon, and his lover Sylvar, Crado and Oss Wilum tried to use the Dark Side creatures of Lake Natth to do their bidding, but were defeated. Crado nearly killed Sylvar because of the Dark Side influence, then fled to escape them while Oss Wilum was captured. Crado returned to Exar Kun, then accompanied Aleema to the Cron Cluster, where they tried to use an ancient Sith weapon to destroy the arriving Old Republic fleet. Aleema succeeded in decimating the fleet, but could not control the weapon. In the end, she caused ten stars in the Cron Cluster to explode, killing herself and Crado. (DLS, TSW)

Cradossk
This was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "tears the throats of his prey". (GCG)

Cradossk
This ancient Trandoshan was the leader of the Bounty Hunters Guild during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. Long beyond his prime physical condition and extremely paranoid, Cradossk was nonetheless an imposing figure, and his wily intelligence allowed him to maintain control of Guild and its scheming members. Like his father before him, Cradossk had emerged from his egg and consumed his siblings, ensuring his own survival. His own spawn, Bossk, had done no less, and Cradossk was sure that the younger reptile would treacherously try to kill him. Thus, he continually worked the members of the Guild into loose, hidden alliances to eliminate Bossk. These plans invariably failed, and Bossk remained a thorn in his father's side. When Boba Fett, acting in concert with Kud'ar Mub'at, asked to join the Guild, Cradossk saw it as a way to bring prestige to the Guild and to reign in one of its primary opponents. Cradossk failed to comprehend Fett's plans until it was too late. By then, infighting among the Guild's older members and its younger members was at a head. Bossk took control fhte younger, more hot-headed faction and managed to confront his father alone. In a great struggle, Bossk managed to kill and eat his father, thereby ensuring his control of the remains of the Guild. (MA, SLS)

Craeen System
This remote system was the site of the Cinnabar Moon Retreat. (WOTC)

Crag, The
This rocky pinnacle of stone jutted up from the green landscape of the planet H'ratth. The ancient Jedi Master Chamma used to bring his students to The Crag, in order to have them concentrate on the Force. (TOJC)

Craggy Bolma
This species of bolma was native to the mountainous regions of the planet Dathomir. (SWG2P)

Cragh Mountains
This was a vast chain of ragged mountains located on the planet Sorl. (TDR)

Cragii
This was another name for the Cragli language. (UANT, CN2)

Cragli
This was the native language of the Cragmoloid people. (GMR6)

Cragmoloid
This was a race of immense, elephantine humanoids native to the planet Ankus. The Cragmoloids were an inherently clan-oriented people, proud of themselves and their families. Cragmoloids have a strong sense of honor and loyalty, and were quick to anger when confronted with subterfuge or trickery. However, despite their size, most Cragmoloids viewed violence as distasteful. (UYV, GMR6, UANT)

Cragus 12
This bounty hunter was wanted by the New Republic for the murder of personnel and the destruction of property. No on knew his real name or true identity, because he always wore a full-body suit of armor and a blast helmet. The limited bioscan data that was available indicated that Cragus 12 had a number of cybernetic protheses, including a Repli-Limb arm and Neuro-Saav Cardio-Muscular and Hifold Sensory packages. Among the most prominent of these replacements was the repeating blaster that took the place of his right forearm and hand.

Cragus 12 traveled the galaxy in his starship, The Claw, and was usually accompanied by a security droid known as GX-99. Like many other armored bounty hunters, Cragus 12 had a jetpack mounted to his armor, which allowed him to quickly reach his ship in an emergency.

Crahsystor
This was the Cheunh word for "commander." (OF)

Crakull
Located in the Unknown Regions, this planet was the homeworld of the Croke race. (NEGC)

Cralliard
This bounty hunter worked for Moff Bandor, stalking the Game Chambers of Questal. Cralliard's race was unknown, but he was a well-built, hairless humanoid who dressed in furs and skins. An excellent tracker, Cralliard stalked the prisoners of the chambers and shot at them from places of cover. He would then move to the next cover position, drawing the prisoners into a futile chase while exhausting and disorienting them. (GCQ)

Cran
This was an Imperial unit of volume. (BF)

Cranan 12
This little-known planet was the primary world in the Cranan System. (SWJ6)

Cranata, Ixxus
This Ithorian was one of the greatest storytellers of his race. His tales of Ithorian history were vibrant and captivating, and have been translated into a number of different languages for enjoyment throughout the galaxy. He had been approached by the historians of the New Republic, in hopes that they may be able to gain some knowledge of Ithorian history that was lost during the New Order. (HR)

Cranial Vault Shot
This was a term used by the Republic Commandos of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe any attack on a being that caused almost instant incapacitation of an enemy. The perfect cranial vault shot involved firing a projectile or blaster bolt at the small indentation found at the base of the skull. Upon entering the skull, the shot would literally ricochet around inside the skull, destroying the brain. (RC66)

Cranker
This plant's roots were a delicacy to the Rodians, especially when they were deeply oiled. (SWJ9)

Cranna, Bhu
This Sorrusian youth met Obi-Wan Kenobi and Astri Oddo when they arrived on Sorrus in search of information on Ona Nobis. The son of the tribal leader Goq Cranna, Bhu was skeptical that Astri could teach the tribe how to find food in the desert. Bhu's tribe lived in the Arra Desert, and was slowly starving after their croplands hand been destroyed. Nevertheless, Astri showed Bhu and his tribe how to locate turu roots and other nutritional items in the desert, allowing the tribe to survive in the new desert. (EVE)

Cranna, Goq
This Sorrusian was the leader of the tribe which inhabited the Arra Desert region of the planet. Goq's tribe lived in the Arra Desert, and was slowly starving after their croplands hand been destroyed. When Astri Oddo arrived on Sorrus with Obi-Wan Kenobi, she showed Goq's son Bhu and the rest of his tribe how to locate turu roots and other nutritional items in the desert, allowing the tribe to survive in the new desert. In return, Goq supplied them with information on Ona Nobis. Goq later helped Obi-Wan and Siri after they rescued Astri from Ona Nobis. (EVE)

Cranna-Rapier, Yari
This popular holovid star married her regular co-star, Jobal Rapier, more than two years before the onset of the Clone Wars. They split up just two and a half years later. Jobal claimed that he had married Yari because she was the perfect accent to his wardrobe and his image, although Yari claimed that Jobal was jealous of the fact that she made more credits than he did. She believed that they would get back together eventually. (HNN5)

Crans
This man was one of Zothip's pirates. He was taken out by Karoly D'ulin on Bastion, while they were guarding Moff Disra's offices. (VOF)

Cranscoc
This alien race was native to the planet Cartao. It was the Cranscoc who controlled the unusual technology that made Spaarti Creations a unique and profitable business, and investigation revealed that the colony on Cartao was the only place the Cranscoc could live. In general, the Cranscoc bred very slowly, and only a handful of them evolved to become twillers, those individuals who could manipulate the fluid technology that was utilzied by Spaarti Creations. The average Cranscoc was an insectile being whose body was covered by a chitinous shell, which moved about on long, multi-jointed legs. The Cranscoc's shell was translucent, and revealed the coloration of the hide beneath it. Normally, the color of the hide reflected an individual's mood. An agitated or scared individual displayed rapid color changes, as a kind of warning to any beings around them. Also, a kind of species-specific langauge was developed using patterns of colors, allowing the Cranscoc to communicate without being interpreted. (SWI68, SWI69)

CRAO
This was an acronym used to describe the Central Republic Audit Office. (RC66)

Crash and Bash
This was deal-slang for any act of thievery which involved the destruction of non-essential property, to make the theft appear to have been a random act of piracy. (SWJ4)

Crash Bag
This was a form of supplemental restraint system that was found in most starships. Crew and passengers were supposed to use the seat belts and crash webbings to strap themselves in during turbulent travel, but crash bags could be deployed in the case of a sudden jolt or impact. Once deployed in a crash, crash bags filled almost immediately with gas, providing a cushion to absorb the force of a body hitting a bulkhead. (CWN)

Crash Balloon
This was one of the many ways in which a starship's pilot was protected during a crash. Instead of using a foam to cushion the pilot, some systems deployed balloons to protect the pilot from hitting the control board. This also allowed the pilot to get free of a downed ship easier, and required no special clean-up after the crash. (HTTE)

Crash Hour
This was a term used to describe the time of day that various skylanes on the planet Coruscant experienced the highest volumes of speeder traffic. Crash Hour usually occurred during the evening hours, when beings were leaving their place of work and returning home. (FJ3)

Crash n' Burn
This was a form of recreationals spice that was created during the height of the New Order. It was popular among smugglers and independent spacers, as it provided a brief period of mental stimulation. (SWGAL, SWG2P)

Crash Wagon
This was spacer slang for any ground-based vehicle that came to the aid of a downed starship, when it crash-landed on a planet's surface. (HSR)

Crash, The
This cantina, found in the city of Vlarnya on Khuiumin 4, was the primary hangout of the Khuiumin Survivors. In keeping with its name, the Crash was decorated with bits and pieces of starfighters shot down by the Survivors, or pieces of crashed starships the Survivors escaped from. (IJ)

Crash, The
This was the Basic translation of the Colony's term Ub Ruur. It described the crashlanding of the starship Tachyon Flier on the planet Yoggoy in the Unknown Regions, and the Colony's discovery of Raynar Thul's still-living body inside. Thul was rescued by the Yoggoy and given a chance to recuperate, and eventually became the first true Joiner. The wreckage of the Tachyon Flier was preserved by the Lizil hive for posterity. Unknown to much of the Colony, Lomi Plo and Welk also survived the crash, and managed to create their own Dark Side hive of insectoids. The site of The Crash became something of a sacred place to the Colony's hives, since the event marked the beginning of their expansion. (DN1)

Crashball
This was a full-contact sport that was popular during the height of the New Order. (DSTR)

Crash-corner
Developed to protect the underground maintenance facilities of the planet Coruscant, crash-corners were tight-angle turns placed within a passageway. The walls of a crash-corner were heavily armored and supported by thick duracrete, allowing them to absorb heavy impacts without breaking. The idea was that any high-speed penetration run into a maintenance corridor - for sabotage or terrorist purposes - would result in heavy damage to the vehicle, effectively ending the attempt to reach the inner areas of the facility. (AFA)

Crasher
This clone trooper Sergeant was stationed aboard the training vessel Endurance, during the height of the Clone Wars. Like many other clone troopers aboard the ship, Sergeant Crasher spent a part of his day teaching the clone cadets who were being trained aboard the ship. When an explosion occurred in the quarters of Jedi Master Mace Windu, Sergeant Crasher ordered his cadets to remain in their quarters until the explosion could be investigated. Crasher was unaware that the culprit was one of his own cadets, a youth named Lucky, who was actually young Boba Fett. (CWTV42)

Crash-foam
This protective restraint material was used in starfighers and other personal ships. When a ship was forced to crash-land, crash-foam was expelled in the event that the ejection seat was not present or fails. The foam fills the cabin, completely surrounding the pilot. It insulates the pilot from the shock of the crash, but can be quickly removed once the pilot was on solid ground. (POT)

Crast
This small crustacoid creature was native to the planet Pria, and served as one of the primary food sources fro the Priapulin. The crast and the Priapulin have a unique relationship, in that the digestion of a crast triggers reproduction in the crast. Although the digestion eventually kills the crast, the eggs of the crast were actually nurtured within the Priapulin's digestive juices. Once the young crasti reached maturity, they were regurgitated by the Priapulin to live out their lives. In another strange twist, the Priapulin have evolved to only consume those crast which bear eggs. (GMR8)

Crasti
This Priapulin word, which translated loosely into Basic as "food kin", was used to describe small, immature crast. The crast and the Priapulin existed in a unique relationship, in which egg-bearing crast were consumed by the Priapulin, but the eggs were actually nurtured in the digestive juices of the Priapulin's stomach. When the eggs hatched, the Priapulin regurgitated the young crast. (GMR8)

Crate
This was New Republic starfighter pilot slang for any form of landing craft. (UF)

Crater Lodge
The nicest place to stay on Crseih Station, it was where Han, Luke, and C-3PO stayed until they were forced out by the contingency of Imperial supporters who came to commit themselves to Hethrir's Empire Reborn. (CS)

Cratsch
A Bakuran carnivore, the cratsch was a ferret-like creature which preyed on the birds that lived in the namana groves. The cratsch had a prehensile tail, which it used to hang in the trees and wait for birds to alight nearby. When cornered on the ground, a cratsch would fight to the death, making it difficult to capture a live specimen. (TB)

C-Ratt
An alien on Nar Shaddaa. (DE1)

Cratta

Craw
The Dictator-Forever of the Targonnian people, he was eventually overthrown with the help of R2-D2 and C-3PO. He ruled from a palace hidden behind a force-field, and instituted a 99% tax rate on his citizens. He also forced children to start working at the age of 6. He captured the droids in an effort to help unlock the secrets of savorium. The Targonnian Shay tried to overthrow him, but failed. Shay did, however, rescue the droids, who later assisted Zorneth in successfully deposing Craw. (DRO)

Crawl-carrier
This espionage and infiltration droid was developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, from a base on the planet Dagro, during the first year of the Clone Wars. The mission profile of the crawl-carrier was to reach an otherwise secure location - one that couldn't be reached by organic beings or by larger droids - and either destroy it or render it useless. These squat, rectangular droids moved about on eight segmented legs, and could be modified for a variety of uses. One version of the crawl-carrier was known as an acid droid, and carried a payload of highly-caustic, green acid. Others could be adapted to carry anti-personnel explosives, electrical disruptors, or even other droids like shockers. In this way, the crawl-carrier was the perfect terrorism weapon, allowing Separatist forces to disrupt the normal, day-to-day services of enemy emplacements. The primary development facility for crawl-carriers was hidden on the planet Dagro, until it was destroyed by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. (SWI77)

Crawler
This was the generic term used by the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe the tank droids used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the height of the Clone Wars. (JT)

Crazy 'Bala
see Ackrahbala (GMR7)

Crazy Larry's Galactic Getaways
This interstellar tourism operation was active during the era of the Galactic Civil War. Crazy Larry's Galactic Getaways made a name for itself by putting together vacation packages to some of the galaxy's most unique - and often, most remote or desolate - locations. Although these destinations offered travelers a chance to avoid the crowds, they often included planets such as Hoth, where there were few amenties to be had. (SWGAL)

CRC-09/571 had been a battalion commander at Geonosis and on Teyr before his promotion to regimental commander and his assignment on Haruun Kal. After linking up with Master Windu, CRC-09/571 led the initial assault into Pelek Baw. However, after being left behind with the Korunnai while Master Windu and Nick Rostu tried to reach the control bunker below the city's surface, CRC-09/571 was overpowered and executed by Kar Vastor and his Akk Guards. (SHPT)

This simple dish was one of the signature soups that were found on the menu at Dex's Diner, during the final years of the Old Republic. (OWS)

Creation of Monsters, The
This was the title of the third volume of Emperor Palpatine's Dark Side Compendium. Unlike the first two volumes, The Creation of Monsters was uncomplete when Palpatine and his cloned were finally killed on Byss, several years after the Battle of Endor. This tome detailed the ways in which various Sith creatures could be created, but it also told of the dangers of tinkering with living creatures. The basic premise of The Creation of Monsters was that the use of actual creatures was often more effective than the use of Force illusions in creating panic and fear in one's enemies. Palpatine gave several guidelines for creating monsters, including the ways in which a Sith could develop their skills over time. Although most beings associated the term "monster" with vicious beasts, Palpatine regarded Darth Vader as one of his most impressive monsters. (DE1, DSSB, OWS, EGF)

Creative Surgery - The Cutting Edge
This was the name of the cosmetic and plastic surgery center established by Doctor Evazan in the Corellian System, sometime before the Battle of Yavin. Like many of Doctor Evazan's other businesses, Creative Surgery catered to those individuals with a fear of droids. Although his fees were exorbitant, Evazan told his patients that their surgeries would be handled by the Doctor himself, in a completely droid-less environment. The Creative Surgery center was eventually abandoned, after Evazan was nearly apprehended by Jodo Kast. (GG1)

Creativity Damper
This was a specialized device that was developed by Cybot Galactica to force their 3PO-series protocol droids to ensure that their translations were not embellished. Creativity dampers, when combined with regular memory wipes, ensured that the 3PO units worked as designed, without any quirks or problems. Over time, many other droid manufacturers began producing creativity dampers, to ensure that their droids continued to behave as programmed. (NEGD, CN1)

Creator, The
This was another name for the Yuuzhan Vong god, Yun-Yuuzhan. (NJOSB)

Creators, The
This was a religious reference to the creators of the universe, used by many Corellians during the last decades of the Old Republic. (MJH)

A slang term for the Dejarik game. (JHS)

Creautaa-V
This research station was erected in orbit around the planet Caarimon, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. The Caarite people placed the station in geosynchronous orbit above the Desolation, as both a protective measure and as a symbol of Caarite courage. Just after the onset of the Clone Wars, Melo Centris and a group of Belivers took control of the station, as part of Thaere-funded attempt to wipe out the Caarites. The plan to set off several bombs near major fault lines on Caarimon. Each bomb was filled with a specialized virus that attacked and killed only Caarites, and was to be detonated just above the planet's surface in orbit to fill the atmosphere with the virus. The attack was thwarted by a group of freelance agents who had been hired by the Cularin Militia to track down Centris and stop her from using the virus. (MCT3)

Creb
An Imperial TIE fighter pilot from Bettok, Creb served on the Chimaera from his first assignment. He fought in the Battle of Endor, and worked with the Black Wing Squadron under Grand Admiral Thrawn. (DFRSB)

Creche'
This speciallized Yuuzhan Vong clustership was designed to care for a young yammosk, until it was fully grown and ready for deployment. The Vong used the life-energies of prisoners captured on Gyndine to nurture the yammosk aboard the Creche'. The ship was commanded by Chine-kal during this time. Many of the captives who were forced to tend the yammosk died after the young creature's mental contact. After Chine-kal discovered Wurth Skidder's true nature, he traveled to Kalarba to deliver the Jedi to Tsavong Lah. However, before they could reach the Yuuzhan Vong commander, the Creche' was attacked by Kyp's Dozen. Chine-kal fled to Fondor, hoping to get the damaged ship to the main Yuuzhan Vong fleet in time to save the young yammosk. However, the ship barely survived to Fondor, where it was attacked again by New Republic forces. The Creche' was unable to withstand the assault, which inlcuded Kyp Durron's execution of the yammosk, and the ship tore itself apart. When the blast from Centerpoint Station ripped through the Fondor System, the Creche' was incinerated. (JE)

Creche' of the Gods

Creche' School
This was the name given to the communal school centers that were developed for training the young clones who would become the soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic. Each creche' school consisted of those clones who had been decanted as part of the same batch, and the clones were trained together throughout their education. It was said that the use of creche' schools, in addition to the other facilities on Kamino, ensured that the clones developed in close quarters, thereby eliminating the chance that they would become claustrophobic. (LSSM)

Depending on the type of credcard used, an individual could immediately debit their bank accounts, or make a purchase on credit, to be paid at a later time. (LF1, LF4)

Credcoin
This was an easily-carried form currency used on many planets, such as Adumar, during the years following the Galactic Civil War. Credcoins could be used a payment for goods and services, and were minted in various denominations. Thus, payment could be made explicitly, with the buyer and seller knowing exactly how many credits were exchanged, and eliminated some of the uncertainty that arose from the use of credit sticks. However, credcoins were bulky to carry, and were often reserved for small purchases.

Many worlds minted credcoins with ornate images on either side, and they often carried the images of important leaders or influential beings. (SOA, LF4)

Credcoin

Cree'ar, Dassid
This Duro was a noted plant geneticist, and was part of the team assembled by the New Republic to assist in the restoration of the natrual environment of the planet Duro, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. His team worked with other groups, notably Doctor Williwalt's, to create bacterial sludges which ingested the foul water and soil of Duro and converted it to clean organic matter. His teams had also created six miniature ecosystes on the planet's surface, forming the first arable land on Duro since the planet was abandoned. Doctor Cree'ar himself, however, never attended Leia Organa-Solo's staff meetings, instead submitting his reports beforehand for her perusal. His fellow scientists grew weary of his continual absenteeism, despite the fact that his work was progressing ahead of schedule. It was later revealed that Doctor Cree'ar was, in fact, the Yuuzhan Vong agent Nom Anor, who had been wearing the gablith masquer in order to imitate a Duros. Nom Anor used bio-engineered organisms of his own shaping to provide him with results, as well as creating a series of tunnels and cave beneath the planet's surface for his own private laboratory. (BP)

Creed
This bounty hunter was hired by Themog to scare off or kill any of the mercenaries hired by Mortris Gallorr to help remove the criminal element from the planet Chrona.

Creed, Thaedius
This dark-haired man owned and operated the CreedCon Construction company, one of the most reputable companies found on the planet Cularin during the final years of the Old Republic. Creed won a contract to build a racecourse facility near Cloud Mountain, and planned to build a massive bridge over a nearby ravine, unaware that the site was actually the ancient burial ground of the t'salak. After one of his teams disappeared after locating a strange cave, Creed hired a band of freelance adventurers to help locate them. (FOC1)

Creeda

CreedCon Construction
This Cularin-based construction company was owned and operated by Thaedius Creed, during the final decades of the Old Republic. CreedCon, based in the city of Hedrett, was chosen to build a bridge across a ravine in the deep jungles of Cularin, after Thaedius himself negotiated a suitable deal with the native Tarasin to build a multi-purpose racing facility nearby. The bridge could support normal pedestrian and vehicle traffic, as well as provide additional raceway facilities. (FOC1)

Cr'ee'ei
This Ssi-ruuvi Lwhekk-class manufacturing ship was sent as part of the fleet that invaded Bakura. It produced battle droids for the Ssi-ruuvi navy, but exhausted its ability to produce battle droids during the seige. The word cr'ee'ei literally translated to "maker ship." (TBSB)

This species of vine was native to the planet Datar. It was noted for its large, horn-shaped leaves and soft white color. (E1A5)

Creeper
This ten-limbed creature was one of the Yuuzhan Vong's many biological constructs. Six of its limbs served as legs. Two of the other four were quite thin and ended in fronds which could induce pain when they touched flesh, and the other two were heavy and ended in sharp pincers. These four were held upright as the creature sidled from left to right in order to move. The top of the creature's body was soft, and was used to carry young yorik coral buds. Three compound eyes sat atop a thick central stalk which could move around to allow the creature to see. The creeper's job was to take young yorik coral buds and implant them into the living body of a slave-host. These yorik-kul then kept the slave from revolting while it fed on the host's vital fluids and energy. A modified version of the creeper was used to connect a Yuuzhan Vong pilot's cognition hood to his ship's controls. (DTO, EVC)

Creespa
This Huttese verb translated loosely into Basic as "to fry" or "to burn," but was more often used to describe a way to kill someone rather than to describe cooking methods. (SWLB)

During the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin, Crel went undercover to investigate the possible duplicity of Chils Meplin, who was accused of selling CSA secrets to the Empire. Crel was apprehended by Fiolla at the corporate headquarters of Commex, and was to be transported back to a secure facility. When Fiolla was suddenly rerouted to Abo Dreth, it was Crel who saved her when she was captured and held at gunpoint by Akeeli Somerce on planet's surface. Although Crel managed to shoot and kill Somerce, Somerce also got in a good shot that proved fatal to Crel. Before he died, however, Crel managed to explain his mission to Fiolla, allowing her to continue his investigation. (SWDB, OWS)

A starship manufactured by Hyrotil, the Crescent-class transport measured 30 meters in length and would be operated by a single pilot and up to eight passengers. The Crescent-class ship was a delta-winged craft, with a central fuselage sitting along the centerline of the broad wings. It was designed to appeal to the affluent young beings who wanted to travel among the stars in relative luxury. There were two versions of the Crescent-class produced, a basic civilian version and the Mark II military version. Despite its size, the Crescent-class could only transport up to 80 metric tons of cargo. The civilian version was unarmed, while the Mark II was armed with a light blaster cannon as standard equipment. Note that Allegiance indicates that the Crescent-class vessel is a freighter. (SS, CRO, A)

This New Republic General was a native of the planet Corulag, and a former member of the Imperial Navy. A tall, lean man with an impassive face, Crespin was given command of the starfighter training base on Folor shortly after the Battle of Thyferra. Crespin's most notable feature was the mirror-surfaced patch he wore over his prosthetic eye, which was an omnious, glossy black orb. It was rumored that he lost his eye in an engagement with the Warlord Zsinj, on a world on the border of Zsinj's holdings. Crespin commanded Comet Squadron before being promoted to General, and thought Garik Loran could never do enough for the Republic to make up for his contributions to the Empire. In this he was proven wrong, and got a chance to see how wrong first-hand, when Crespin was given command of the Tedevium and the Screaming Wookiee Squadron following the arrest of Atton Repness. As the commander of the frigate, Crespin was added to the fleet which supported the Mon Remonda during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. They arrived during the final act of the battle for the Razor's Kiss, and Crespin assumed temporary command of Nova Squadron as well. They pummeled Zsinj's ships with a massive wall of energy, destroying the Razor's Kiss and nearly taking down the Iron Fist. (WS, IF)

Crest of Dawn
This was one of three luxury liners that were owned by Janvar Jan and Cularin Star Tours, during the last years of the Old Republic. Like her sister ships, the Twilight's Kiss and the Perihelion, the Crest of Dawn was a top-of-the-line Koensayr Star Yacht that was outfitted with special communications and tracking gear that allowed CST to monitor and track the ship's position in the Cularin System. Because of the strange disapperance of the Cularin System, as well as the growing tensions between the Old Republic and the Separatists, the vessels were equipped with independently-powered emergency transmitters that could be used in an emergency to call the CST support vessel Starchaser IV for rescue.

On one of her first voyages, the Crest of Dawn was rented by Syub Kyak and his family, as part of a restful vacation plan. During a cruise through the atmosphere of Genarius, Kyak's children snuck into the ship's engineering station and tried to take control of its helm controls. Without proper control, the ship plummeted into the atmosphere, and had to be rescued by the freelance crew of the rescue vessel Starchaser IV. The Crest of Dawn was assisted to a dock at Edic Bar, where technicians were able to restore its helm control. (REPL)

This Ebruchi was in command of the first inhabited planet discovered by Admiral Thrawn and the crew of the Admonitor, shortly after Thrawn was exiled to the Unknown Regions. Creysis had been given the command by his clan leadership, and told to guard it with all his might. Thrawn posed as the commander of a colony ship, and Creysis demanded that he turn over a hyperdrive-equipped TIE Scout in return as a gift. Thrawn politely refused, but Creysis asked for the ship as soon as Thrawn had finished his "exploration." Creysis, however, had other plans in mind, and captured the ships and crew sent by Thrawn to negotiate a deal. Creysis explained to Commander Parck - who was part of the captured crew - that the Ebruchi planned to use the ships as templates from which to build their own navy. However, Thrawn had anticipated Creysis' treachery, and had removed key components from the ships that were captured. In the end, Creysis' and his forces were decimated by the Admonitor. (SWJ11)

Crimmler, Harod
This man, a leader in the Historical Battleship Preservation Association during the height of the New Order, disparaged Admiral Kendel's choice of using havod alloy in the hull plating of 100 Star Destroyers. Crimmler cited that fact that doonium had been used for a millennium, and that the white-gray coloration of a warship's hull was synonymous with military might. (SWJ10)

Crimpler
A native of Lorell, this man was a professional kickboxer who, in many matches staged throughout the Hapan Cluster, had never been defeated. He could size up an opponent and determine their weaknesses as soon as he stepped into the ring, a skill which gave him an incredibly advantage. Crimpler was also politically aligned with the Ni'Korish faction, and hated the Jedi Knights. However, shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Crimpler was drafted into the Hapan military and prepared for war. Crimpler saw the Yuuzhan Vong as a foe that could not be read and, therefore, could not be defeated, and so he defected from the military and took up the career of a pirate. He was one of the many pirates aboard the Starsprite when it captured Tenel Ka, and was imprisoned for his part in the kidnapping attempt. However, he was allowed to escape so that Jaina Solo could remove the Yuuzhan Vong implant which had been placed in his body for further study. (DJ)

Crimson Aces
This independent mercenary force of starfighter pilots rose to prominence during the Galactic Civl War. Acting from their base of operations aboard the converted frigate, the Stacked Deck, the Crimson Aces flew a motley collection of fightercraft into battle against the forces of the Empire and their own former leaders on the planet Repea. Originally a part of the Repean military, the Crimson Aces were once led by a man named Gikkin, who was an outspoken opponent of the New Order. Fearful that Gikkin and the aces would turn against them, the Repean government enlisted the help of the Empire in smashing the Crimson Aces and scattering the survivors into the Cron Drift. Gikkin managed to meet up with the survivors and reform the Crimson Aces as a mercenary unit. Their primary mission was to disrupt the relationship between Repea and the Empire. After the Empire destroyed much of Repea in an orbital bombardment, the Crimson Aces left Repea and set out on their own, hiring out their services to the highest bidders. (GMR9)

Crimson Axe
This massive, blade-shaped starship was once under the command of the noted bounty hunter Rav, until he "retired" from hunting and set up his operations on Socorro, nearly a century after the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Rather than abandon his ship, Rav had it partially buried near Sarlaac's Peak, an ancient sarlacc pit in the Carbon Score Wastes of Killee Wasteland, with the upper section of the ship standing out on the barren horizon.

The ship's location in the barren outback of Socorro gave Rav the ability to test the will and ability of the bounty hunters who came to him for work, since reaching the ship was a journey fraught with danger. (SWLB, SWLG)

Crimson Fleece
This was the name of Hylo Visz's smuggling ship. She purchased the ship as a decaying hulk, and spent ten years refitting and repairing the ship to meet her needs. Because the ship was outdated when she purchased it, finding replacement parts was often difficult, if not impossible. Hylo simply improvised when an exact replacement was not available, and sometimes made the same repair more than once when an upgrade didn't quite work out. Over time, the ship became exceptionally spaceworthy, although outward appearances were not indicative of its true performance. This suited Hylo just fine, since she had no plans to sell the ship. (SV)

Crimson Forever
This was the name given to the unusual disease encountered by the galaxy in the year between the Battle of Hoth and the Battle of Endor. The crew of an Imperial Star Destroyer contracted the disease from an unusual crystal, and the vast ship was found adrift by Luke Skywalker and Rogue Squadron. The crew's eyes and skin had turned a blood-red color, and they had no vital signs. After locating the crystal, Luke and the pilots all succumbed to the disease. However, it was later discovered that none of the beings who contracted the Crimon Forever - named for the weird coloration of the victim's skin and eyes, and the fact that the coloration didn't fade - were simply put into a deep comatose state. Their bodily functions were slowed down to the absolute minimum, so they appeared to be lost forever. While under the Crimson Forever, victims had intense dreams. Domina Tagge later revealed that the stone which seemed to cause the disease was actually part of a pair which, when separated, produced a negative aura within the Force. Once the two stones were reunited, the Imperial crew and the members of Rogue Squadron were revived. The priests who worshipped the stones revealed that they were actually living beings. Rather than risk another outbreak of the disease, Leia Organa placed the two stones together in a Star Destroyer, and set its auto-pilot to travel at sublight speeds into the intergalactic void. (LTA2, MC50)

Crimson Jack
This red-haired pirate ambushed Han Solo and Chewbacca, who were on their way to Tatooine to pay back Jabba the Hutt in the wake of the Alliance's victory at the Battle of Yavin. Jack then stole the credits they had earned at the Battle of Yavin and stranded them on Aduba-3. Jack's pirates struck from their hidden base using a fleet of starships captured from both the Alliance and the Empire. He personally commanded the pirates from a captured Star Destroyer he found adrift shortly after the Battle of Yavin. When he found the shipo, Jack killed all the personnel aboard it and salvaged it with financial backing. Using the converted Star Destroyer as his base of operations, Jack hoped to find a hidden treasure in the waters of Drexel, so that he could retire from piracy and enjoy life. When he learned that Luke Skywalker had been scouting the Drexel System as a possible site for a new Alliance base, Jack decided to capture Leia Organa and hold her for ransom. He demanded information on Drexel in return for Leia's life. They arrived at Drexel One during the final between Governor Quarg and the Dragon Lords, and Jack's Star Destroyer was stranded by the sonic jammer until Luke Skywalker and Han Solo managed to disable it. Rather than leaving Drexel, Jack decided to wait in ambush for Han. During the struggle that ensued, Jolli destroyed Jack's Star Destroyer while Han shot and killed Jack in a blaster duel, ending Crimson Jack's piratical reign of terror. (EGC, MC7, MC11, MC15)

Crimson Nova
This was a powerful branch of the Bounty Hunter's Guild, active during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was Crimson Nova's leadership that sanctioned the bounty offered by the Confederacy of Independent Systems on the heads of the Jedi Knights, during the height of the Clone Wars. Previously, the guild had chosen to avoid the Jedi Knights, knowing that their powers were too great to overcome, and that the Jedi Order operated with the consent of the Galactic Senate. As the Clone Wars ground on, however, many bounty hunters came to see that the Jedi were just as vulnerable as other troops, and they became emboldened to the idea of killing a Jedi for a large sum of credits. The Crimson Nova chapter was approached by Kh'aris Fenn, who had a person vendetta against the Jedi, and agreed to take on the bounties. To put a stop to the hunts, Jedi Master Mace Windu led a strike team to the Crimson Nova base, a space station known as The Rig, to bring the Crimson Nova leader Mika to justice. After a brief firefight, Mika was stunned into submission by her mentor, Stroth, bringing an end to the hunting. Mika's daughter, Breela, later took control of the Crimson Nova. (RSF, SWI89)

Crimson Talon
This area of space, located in the Karthakk System, was controlled by the Blood Razors for many years. For many years, the Blood Razors controlled a large portion of space surrounding the Spine of Lok. When the Kimogila Fanatics arrived and tried to oust the Blood Razors, they managed to win several battles and were able to take over part of the Blood Razors' territory. Thus, the area defined by the Crimson Talon was greatly reduced, leaving the Blood Razors with about half of their original territory. The resulting area of the Crimson Talon that was still under the control of the Blood Razors was on one side of the Spine of Lok, while the territory controlled by the Kimogila Fanatics was on the other side. The Blood Razors then began launching sortees from within the Crimson Talon territory, in an effort to eliminate the Fanatics once and for all. (SWGAL)

When Qui-Gon Jinn discovered Xanatos, Crion allowed the boy to be taken for training. However, he secretly maintained contact with his son. In Xanatos' absense, Crion became more and more greedy, and put into motion a plan to overtake a neighboring planet and steal its resources. Xanatos was drawn into the plan, until Jedi Master Yoda sent Xanatos and Qui-Gon back to Telos on a mission. The exact nature of the mission was not provided, but Qui-Gon quickly discovered the plot set in motion by Crion. Qui-Gon tried to expose the old man and his son - Qui-Gon's own Padawan apprentice - but the people of Telos instead formed two distinct fashions and sparked a civil war. In the battle, Qui-Gon was forced to cut down Crion with his lightsaber, first cutting the fingers from one of Crion's hands before dispatching him. Xanatos watched in horror, then recovered one of the rings from his father's severed fingers. He touched the hot metal to his cheek, leaving a crescent-shaped scar as a reiminder of Crion's death and Qui-Gon's seeming treachery. (DR)

This Imperial Governor was in command of the Koornacht Cluster during the Galactic Civil War. He maintained control of the occupation force left in the Cluster to man the Black Sword Command's shipyards. He did not survive the Yevethan raids that took place shortly after the Battle of Endor. (TT)

Crom
This first-generation plant was a favorite among terraformers. Like gomex moss, crom survives without much water, and can break down rocky soils into basic nutrients. This converted soil was much more useful for planting second-generation plants like brachniel. (POT)

Cromag
This huge humanoid beast was "owned" by Mosh Pelkan. Cromag was the primary combatant in Pelkan's gladiator pit, and fought every and any challenger. Many of the challengers were prisoners of Moff Bandor. Cromag had over-developed shoulders and arms, and his ape-like face was dominated by huge eyes which caught every movement near him. Cromag fought in the pit, riding a series of repulsor-disks to keep above an electrified floor. Weapons were at his disposal, when he needed them, hung on the walls of the pit. Cromag was ultimately confident in his abilities, and rarely used weapons where his hands would suffice. (GCQ)

Cromf
This Garoos was a freelance scout and bounty hunter employed by Mazzic to bring in Lak Jit, after the Devaronian escaped from Wayland. He arranged to deliver the thief to Shada and Mazzic at the Dona Laza tapcafe. (SOP)

Cron Cluster
This ancient grouping of stars was located in the Auril Sector. It was amidst six of the original nine Auril Systems. Much of the Cron Cluster was destroyed during the Great Sith War, when Aleema tried to rip the core from one of the stars. She wanted to hurl the star into the midst of an Old Republic fleet, in an effort to destroy the fleet. She succeeded in this, but she also ingnited the remaining stars in the cluster. All ten stars went supernova as a result of the explosion, and formed what was later known as the Cron Drift. The explosion also destroyed three of the Auril Systems, and devastated the planet Ossus. (TSW, GORW)

Cron Drift
This area of the Auril Sector, in close proximity to Nespis VIII, the Adega System, and Carida, was the site of the remnants of a multi-star supernova. Note that Dark Apprentice indicates that the supernova contained four stars, but The Sith War comics say that the supernova engulfed ten stars. During the Great Sith War, Aleema tried to use the Dark Side of the Force to rip the core from one of the stars in the Cron Cluster. She had hoped to destroy the Old Republic fleet that was pursuing the Sith followers, but she hadn't prepared for the possibility of the core igniting all the other solar masses in the Cluster. All of the stars ignited, going supernova at the same instant. Aleema was, of course, killed in the blast, and the Cron Drift was born. The current stars in the system made up six of the original nine Auril Systems. The rest were destroyed in the explosion. Following the genesis of the New Order, Ploovo Two-for-One operated his criminal business from the Cron Drift. Han Solo and Chewbacca also tried to run a clotheslegging operation there, several years before the Battle of Yavin, but it eventually failed. After the New Republic defeated Grand Admiral Thrawn, it was discovered that Terpfen had been 'programmed' to meet the Caridan ambassador Furgan within the Drift. (HSE, HSL, DA, DE2, XW, TSW)

Cron Supernova
This was another name for the Cron Drift. (EGF)

Cronal
This Dark Jedi was a scientist as well as an adept with the Force, who grew to power during the early years of the New Order. Often referred to as a Mage Lord, Cronal was one of Emperor Palpatine's most gifted Dark Jedi. He served as the Director of Imperial Intelligence for a brief time, while secretly serving as one of the Emperor's Hands. It was believed that Cronal had been raised by the Sorcerers of Rhand, after he had been taken from his mother at birth. The Rhandites became his only true family, and instilled in him the message of the One Truth, that destruction was eternal. A feeble child, Cronal immersed himself in the Way of the Dark, and experienced and intense moment of Darksight that led him to leave the Perann Nebula and seek out the Prophets of the Dark Side, whom he quickly dominated. Cronal's further contemplation of the Way of the Dark led him to the realization that, through his Darksight, he could literally create a new future, not only for himself but for the entire galaxy. He learned to equated the battle meditation of the Jedi and the Sith was a simple form of Darksight, but one that lacked any true connection to the Dark.

Cronal's abilities eventually attracted the attention of Emperor Palpatine, who removed him from the Prophets of the Dark Side and trained him as one of the Emperor's Hands. Few beings knew that, during his tenure as an Emperor's Hand, Cronal was actually the agent known as Blackhole, a reference to his knowledge of the Dark. Palpatine took advantage of Cronal's Darksight, although he was unaware that was appeared to be precognition was actually Cronal's manipulation of the future. It was Cronal's "Science of Darkness" that was used to ensure that Force Detectors were capable of identifying Force-sensitive individuals. He later attempted to twist the Trailian race into Dark Side monsters via genetic manipulation and Dark Side magic, hoping to bring down the growing rebellion. During a mission to Coruscant, Cronal found Kar Vastor in prison and, recognizing the man's strong connection to the Force, secreted him away to a place where Cronal could investigate his mind. However, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, Cronal experienced a vision through the Darksight that showed him the downfall of the Galactic Empire and the rise to power of Luke Skywalker. The vision showed Skywalker kneeling before the Emperor and swearing his allegiance to the Dark Side of the Force. Cronal then worked to ensure this future, subtly manipulating Darth Vader into a position where he would be eliminated, paving the way for Skywalker to step in. Cronal then spent several months in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy, following a trail marked by hints he gleaned from the Taurannik Codex, until he discovered a way to shed his feeble body and become Luke Skywalker.

The rest of Cronal's existence was then given over to this one, singular mission: to take over the body of Luke Skywalker and serve the Way of the Dark. However, his body became too feeble to carry him, and he was nearly captured by Nick Rostu. Recognizing that Rostu was a strong man, Cronal was able to twist his mind and take control of it, using Sith technology to implant crystals into Rostu's brain. He then inserted a fine network of meltmassif crystals into his own body, duplicating his nervous system and allowing him to control other beings who had been implanted with the crystals. Cronal then set up Rostu as Lord Shadowspawn, a name that was an alteration of Lord Shadow's Pawn. The black-armored stormtroopers who served him were all clones, bred for absolute obedience, in preparation for his transfer to Skywalker's body. The rise of Lord Shadowspawn and the Battle of Mindor were events that Cronal manipulated from behind the scenes, all in an effort to lure Skywalker to Mindor. After Skywalker arrived on the planet, Cronal was forced to realize that his Darksight was not perfect when Skywalker did not kill Shadowspawn, but instead knocked him unconscious. Still, Skywalker was captured and placed on the Pawning Table, in preparation for his transformation.

Cronal believed that he had covered every contingency, but he did not count on Luke discovering the true nature of the meltmassif stone and Cronal's connection to the Dark. Luke siezed upon an opportunity to reach out to the lifeforms contained within the stone, and was able to break Cronal's connection to his mind. Thus freed, Luke tried to free the Pawns who served Cronal by removing their Crowns, but this only killed them when they were cut off from their master. Cronal, his plans in tatters, could only see that Luke's ability to control the meltmassif would mean that Cronal could do the same, in time. However, with Luke escaping, Cronal realized that he would need another host. He found this new host when Luke's sister, Leia Organa, arrived on Mindor in search of her brother. However, as the battle around him forced Cronal to remove the Shadow Base from Mindor in an attempt to escape, he found that Leia would not let go to her humanity. Her untrained mind and body refused to be controlled by the meltmassid stone filaments in her brain, preventing Cronal from taken over complete control of her mind.

Taking over the mind and body of Kar Vastor, Cronal hoped to defend the Shadow Egg while he continued trying to break Leia's will. Using his connection to the meltmassif stone, Cronal used his mind to control Vastor's actions, while his body was placed aboard an escape craft that was jettisoned from the Shadow Base. Luke managed to locate the Shadow Egg with the help of the Melters, but was momentarily confused when he was forced to face Kar Vastor. Luke calmly explained that Nick Rostu was on the trail of Cronal's secret ship, and would shoot it down unless he heard otherwise. Cronal, however, was not about to give up. After spurning Luke's offer to retreat to his life-support chamber, Cronal played his final card. He abandoned Vastor's body and reached out through the meltmassif crystal network, using his connections to cause intense pain to every being he could make contact with. This included all of his black-armored stormtroopers as well as Leia herself. In the painful chaos that ensued, Cronal was able to plot an hyperspace vector for his escape craft, and he fled the Taspan System, but not before sending a final command to those beings to whom he was connected. His final message urged the Imperials to attack the New Republic at all costs; it impelled TIE Interceptor pilots to fling their fighters against the nearest Republic vessels on suicide runs, and surviving stormtroopers took up whatever weapons they could find to attack Republic soldiers and any other beings who got in their way.

Believing himself safe in the netherworld of hyperspace, Cronal attempted to don the Shadow Crown and begin planning the steps necessary to bring about his Reign of Death. However, instead of plunging into the Dark, he found himself confronted by the light that was Luke Skywalker. Skywalker had connected with Kar Vastor and used their combined strength in the Force to locate Cronal, reaching beyond the boundaries of hyperspace. Skywalker then used the Force to send his light through the Shadow Crown, shinging it on every being that Cronal had contact with, penetrating the Dark and rendering it nothing more than a conduit for the Force. As he sat in mute amazement, Cronal saw all the meltmassif stone that he had implanted in his body leak out of his pores, then re-harden into a shell that kept him from moving. Then, the meltmassif stone of his escape vessel melted away, leaving him exposed to the chaos of hyperspace. Cronal understood as he died that his body was being disassembled, atom by atom, and then flung into the universe. In the months that followed the Battle of Mindor, investigation into Cronal's history revealed that he was, in fact, the Imperial agent known as Blackhole. He was also found to have been the father of the Dark Jedi Sariss, and Nick Rostu feared that Cronal might have found a way to survive his exposure to hyperspace. (GMS, OWS, WOTC, EGF, LSSM)

Cronau Radiation
This flash of light precedes any starship that exits from hyperspace. The flash was instantaneous, lasting less than a second but making it obvious that a ship had just exitted hyperspace. (TT)

Crondre
This planet was the sight of one of Thrawn's last attacks prior to his attack on Coruscant. It was attacked by the Star Destroyer Nemesis in an attempt by Thrawn to draw off the Republic's forces from other engagements, spreading them as thinly as possible. (TLC)

Cronese
This was the term used to describe the human inhabitants of the Cronese Mandate. (GORW)

Cronese Mandate
This was one of the three galactic sectors that make up the Tion Cluster. Made up of 464 inhabited worlds including the fourteen worlds of the Kingdom of Cron, the Cronese Mandate was ruled by the House of Cron from their holdings on Chandaar. The establishment of the Cronese Mandate as a galactic sector occurred shortly after the establishment of the New Order, when the Empire took control of the Tion Hegemony and split it apart.

The planets of the Cronese Mandate were known for their abundance of minerals and ores, and much of the raw materials mined in the Tion Cluster came from the Cronese Mandate. (ML, GORW, OWS)

Cronese Sweeps
This era of conquest occurred during the centuries prior to the reign of Xim the Despot, well before the formation of the Old Republic. During this time, the kngdom of Cron expanded its boundaries by sweeping into neighboring star systems and subjugating habitable worlds before they could raise a defense. (GORW)

Cronus
An Imperial Colonel who survived the death of the Emperor, Cronus was Delvardus' second-in-command. He became the de facto leader of Delvardus' fleet when Daala executed all of the Imperial warlords at Tsoss Beacon. He aligned himself with Daala and Pellaeon after seeing Delvardus' body and a holorecording of the summit. Cronus was a small but well-muscled man, with a full head of black hair. Daala appointed Cronus to be the commanding officer of the 112 Victory-class Star Destroyers she had rounded up following the execution of the warlords. He took the fleet on a galaxy-wide rampage of terror, striking at unprotected worlds and killing countless numbers before splitting up his fleet. He took twenty ships to Yavin 4, to assist Daala in her attack there, while the remainder of his fleet continued its rampage. Cronus was killed at Yavin 4 when a crippled Corellian gunship rammed his Star Destroyer, the 13X, and destroyed it. (DS)

Crooked Tail
A Dulok on Endor, Crooked Tail was a blue-grey colored creature who opposed the rule of king Vulgarr. He had his own ambitions about being king of the Duloks. (AT)

Crooked Way
This was a rock-strewn pathway that meandered through a lush garden at the Jedi training facility constructed by Luke Skywalker and the new Jedi order on Ossus, in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The rocks were placed in such a way that any being who followed the Crooked Way was forced to slow down and concentrate on the journey. (DN3)

Crop Stubble
This was the term used to describe the lower section of the sargheet plant. Only the upper part of the sargheet was harvested as an edible grain, because the lower section was tough to chew and covered with brlue bristles that could collect in the digestive tract and cause fatal blockages. The flesh of the crop stubble was chopped into a meal that could be fed to domesticated zeles. (SWI76)

Croptime
This was the Gamorrean name for the fall season on the planet Gamorr, when the wars between clans were brought to a close so that the male boars can return home and begin harvesting their crops. (SWJ14)

Cro-sal-trei
This was one of the more powerful tribes of Eickarie found on the planet Kariek, more than 400 years before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The tribe's leader tried to retain his ancestral lands when two other tribes allied against the Cro-sall-trei, but his people were no match for the combined forces arrayed against them. The tribal leader ordered a retreat from their fortress, but his people were trapped beneath the ground when the enemy tribes sealed off the third watchtower the Cro-sal-trei used as an escape route. The Cro-sal-trei died in the tunnels, and their tribe vanished from Kariek's history. In spite of their easy victory, the two victorious tribes were themselves defeated in battle less than a year afterward. Centuries later, the Warlord would take control of the Cro-sal-trei fortress, unaware that the tunnels beneath the third watchtower were accessible to outsiders. (FB)

Crosear, Gil
This New Republic commando was a native of the planet Dantooine. He joined the New Republic shortly after the Battle of Endor, and showed a surprising aptitude for infiltration exercises. After training with the Special Forces division and earning the rank of Lieutenant, Gil served as Tere Metallo's first mate aboard the StarQuest, and successfully led an infiltration of the Imperial base on Sarahwiee. (SWJ6)

Crosh
This creature was valued for its hide in the Kathol Outback. The shimmery hides were used to make coats and jackets which were quite fashionable. (VOF)

Cross
This was the Imperial Navy slang term for an Alliance X-Wing starfighter. (SWJ10)

Cross
This was a common starfighter pilot slang term used to describe a B-Wing. (IJ)

Cross Crosslet
This award was presented by the Alliance to those individuals whose actions while under fire far exceeded the normal standards of bravery and valor. In 45% of all cases, the Cross Crosslet was awarded posthumously. The medal itself was a gold cross embossed on a platinum background. (ROE)

Cross of Fire
This was the nickname used by many naval Captains of the New Empire to describe the Scythe-class Battle Cruiser that was found in the navy of the Galactic Alliance. (SWLH)

Crossbow of Love
This was a small trinket that was often purchased or traded as a gift, during the Festival of Love that was celebrated annually by the Ewoks. It was rumored that the Crossbow of Love could be used to change another being's perception of one's self for the better. (SWGAL)

Crossfire Fighter
This was a common name used to describe the CF9 Crossfire. (SWLH)

Cross-Galactic Mining
This corporation mines the Grillis Asteroid Belt in the Atrig System. It also controls the exporting of kyrf from the planet Korbin. (PG2)

Crossings, The
This was the name used by the Ferroan people, and probably used first by Sekot itself, to dsescribe the intense jumps through hyperspace that the planet Zonama Sekot took in order to remain hidden from the rest of the galaxy. The very first Crossings were hazardous to all life on the planet, and many beings, creatures, and plants were killed due to exposure to hyperspace itself. As Sekot learned what hyperspace was and how to protect itself, it used the lifeforce of Zonama to create organic shields that protected the planet during subsequent Crossings. (FH3)

Crossroutes Business Habitat
This immense, residential building was one of the few such facilities on the moon Drewwa that catered to the needs of offworlders. At 800 stories in height, the Crossroutes Business Habitat was considered one of the most unlovely buildings on the moon, given its green color and the unusual adornments that covered its exterior. Every five floors, pale yellow structures encircled the building, appearing to the casual observer to be the rings of a planet. (LF4)

Crosstown Bar
This tavern was located in Gadrin, on the planet Cularin, during the height of the Clone Wars. The bar was decorated with weapons both real and non-lethal, a sort of memorial to the ways in which the natives of the Cularin System defended themselves over the millennia. A plaque on the wall contained a list of friends of the owners who had died in battle, either in direct defense of Cularin or in the galaxy at large. Note that From the Cradle to the Grave indicates that the plaque was actually the Wall of Remembrance. (LFCW)

Crosstown Line
This monorail line split Estalle Island, on the plnet Procopia. It connected at two points along the Coast Line, allowing for quicker access to certain locations. (LOE)

Crosswind Saloon
This large, two-story building was a bustling restaurant and hotel, located in Storrd Township on the planet Seregar. Even after most of the larger mining operations moved off-planet, the Crosswind Saloon remained a popular place. (ND)

Crote
This Bimm expediter worked from a base on the planet Garnib during the height of the Galactic Civil War, linking bounty hunters with prospective clients. It was Crote who provided the Empire with contacts to Nariss Siv Loqesh, during the hunt for Han Solo following the Battle of Hoth. (GAL6)

Crote
This man represented his homeworld of Frego in the Old Republic Senate, some eleven years before the Battle of Naboo. While outwardly the Senator seemed willing to assist Lena Cobral in escaping Frego to testify against the Cobral crime family, Qui-Gon Jinn later found evidence linking Crote to the murder of Rutin Cobral. When the Degarian II was destroyed while on its way to Coruscant - supposedly carrying Lena Cobral and the Jedi - Senator Crote believed that he had finally cleared away any obstacles to the Cobral's power. However, when Lena and the Jedi arrived on Coruscant on a second ship, and testified against him, Senator Crote's career was destroyed. (TOW)

Crotok
An alien race. (SWJ5)

Crovessk
This Trandoshan served as the Chief Executive Officer of Revessa Global Shipping, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN5)

Crovna
This planet was known for its appreciation of the arts. (A)

Crowal
This Imperial Moff controlled the planet Valc VII of the Imperial Remnant, following the peace accord made with the New Republic. One of the few females to attain the position of Moff, she was a member of the old school, and believed that the Republic should be left alone when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. However, she began to see that this was a deadly mistake when the Yuuzhan Vong destroyed Bastion and Muunilinst in short order. When Jacen Solo and the Galactic Alliance offered their assistance and a chance to join the fight against the alien invaders, Moff Crowal was one of the few Moffs who saw the logic in the offer. After the Galactic Alliance's intelligence, tactics, and assistance helped defeat the Yuuzhan Vong at the Battle of Borosk, Moff Crowal agreed to provide Luke Skywalker with a wealth of information that her agents had acquired in the rogue planet Zonama Sekot. Moff Crowal also provided one of her best xenoarchaeologists, Doctor Soron Hegerty, to the Jedi mission to assist with making contact with remote civilizations. (DTR, FH1)

Crowley
This woman, a Master Sergeant in the Old Republic's Army, was sent to the moon of Sulon to help assist the rebels there in their fight against the Empire. She later led the formation and implementation of an Alliance strike force in Kor Vella, on Corellia, that infiltrated an Imperial plot to destroy Centerpoint Station. The Imperials had hoped to blame the destruction on the Alliance, but Crowley's strike force as able to prevent the explosion from occurring. (SFE, SWGAL)

Crowlyn
This was a small, wide-jawed creature which was domesticated by the natives of the planet Ansion. (APS)

Crown
This was the term used to describe the specialized headgear that was worn by the Pawns who served Lord Shadowspawn, during the months that followed the Battle of Endor. Formed from carbonite and meltmassif stone, the Crown contained a small holomask projection system that displayed stoic expression that both hid the Pawn's true identity and ensured that individual Pawns never showed any outward emotion. Each Crown was shaped like a smaller version of the headgear worn by Lord Shadowspawn himself, resembling a crescent moon that curved down along the sides of the head. Shadowspawn later revealed to Luke Skywalker that the Crown was actually a form of Sith technology that had been created by Lord Cronal, and was connected to the wearer's head by a series of crystalline filaments of meltmassif stone. These filaments, which connected to similar filaments implanted in the Pawn's own brain, allowed Cronal to see and hear what the Pawns, and Shadowspawn himself, were experiencing, as well as allowing Cronal to control their actions. A crystalline form of deadman switch was installed as part of the Crown's unusual circuitry, which gave Cronal the ability to terminate any Pawn who might decide to work against him. (LSSM)

Crown Jewels of Alderaan
These wondrous jewels had been in the Royal Family of Alderaan for many generations, until the planet was destroyed by the first Death Star. At the time, they happened to be in the possession of Leia Organa, who kept them safe. Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, Leia decided that the Alliance needed new starfighters more than she needed the jewels. She used them as collateral to secure a loan from the Bank of Aargau, in a brilliant scheme which should have also discredited Darth Vader and the Empire. However, Vader turned the tables on Leia, using her own plans to complete his own. In the endd, Leia obtained the loan, but Vader managed to bribe the Aargauun officials and acquired the Crown Jewels for the Emperor. (MC48)

Crown of Rulership
This was the name of the large hat worn by Boss Nass, and signified his position within the leadership of Otoh Gunga. (IG1)

Crown of Silk
This unusual, nocturnal parasite was native to the planet Cerea. It resembled little more than a ring of gauzy, transparent silk, connected in a ring that measured about eighty centimetersin diameter. Along the length of this ring were shred-like flaps that gave the entire organism the appearance of a crown. The inside of the body was considered to be the "mouth" of the creature, lined with thousands of pores that could extract living energy from the body of another being. A crown of silk fed by wrapping itself around the head of another creature - preferring Cereans and other higher-intelligence creatures, and especially Force-sensitive individuals - and exuding a mild toxin. This toxin caused the victim's neural activity to increase dramatically, causing a state of euphoria in the victim and allowing the crown of silk to "feed" on the excess brain energy. When the crown of silk was sated, it simply let go of its victim and floated away. Victims, though groggy and dazed for many days afterward, rarely died from the "attack" of a crown of silk. These creatures reproduced through a simply for of fission, and had an average life cycle that lasted three Cerean days. (UA)

Crown Pass Road
Located on the planet Lucazec, Crown Pass Road connects Big Hill and Jisasu. (BTS)

Croww
A native of Bestine, this independent spacer made a living buying and selling R5-series astromechs in the deepest reaches of the Outer Rim Territories, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (FTD)

Croy
This independent spacer, based out of Nar Shaddaa during the height of the New Order, had a cargo scanned by a Hound-W2 SPD-series droid. It found contraband in the holds, and earned Croy some time in the brig. (SWJ14)

Croym
This Dark Jedi Master discovered the location of the Heart of the Universe and hoped to use it to take control of the galaxy. He secreted the gem away in his tower castle, located inside a barren, cold asteroid. The tower was sealed from the vacuum of space, and was surrounded by a maze of physical and mental traps. Anyone trying to gain access would have to fend their way through random blaster bolts, energy fields, Dark Side creatures, and incredible illusions. Croym lured a group of Alliance agents to his asteroid by making information about the Heart available to them, hoping to discover a Force-sensitive being among them he could twist into as assistant and slave. Unfortunately, the agents managed to see through Croyn's illusions and defeat the maze to recover the Heart. (GMS)

Crozo Industrial Products
This corporation designs and manufactures computer access tools for cyborgs. One of their most popular products was the At-Computer Link. Crozo was one of the few corporations that managed to survive in the field of biocomp research and development, making substantial profits with a relatively small workforce. (CFG, NEGW)

Crseih
This double star system once consisted of a blue-white supergiant star and its twin, a small yellow star. When the supergiant exploded, it caused two reactions: first, it collapsed onto itself, generating a large black hole; second, it caused the small yellow star to begin crystallizing. The smaller star, which continued to orbit its double, was now being drawn into the black hole and subjected to the hole's intense X-radiation, further hastening its crystallization. When the Empire built Crseih Station nearby, the crystal star was well on its way to being swallowed by the black hole. The intense energy surrounding the system altered the fabric of the Force so radically, that it allowed the anti-Force being Waru to enter the galaxy. The warped Force also affects those with Force-sensitivity, causing them to become listless and suicidal. Luke Skywalker succombed to the intense energies while on the Crseih station. (CS)

Crseih Station
A space station located on the fringes of the galaxy, Crseih was a collection of asteroids connected by tunnels and accessways. It was built by the Empire (under Palpatine's New Order) as a research outpost. It was built near the dying Crseih star system. The goal of the outpost was to discover a method by which the intense forces of the nearby black hole could be harnessed and used as a weapon. The station was placed under the command of Hethrir by Darth Vader, following his appointment to Procurator of Justice. Hethrir added to the station's mission, using it as a prison. Hethrir's cruelty toward his prisoners caused a rift in the Force which, when coupled with the station's proximity to the crystal star, brought the being Waru into the galaxy. When the Empire fell, after the Battle of Endor, it was believed that the station was deserted by the Empire. However, it was only Hethrir who left, biding his time in secrecy until he could build the Empire back up. Waru remained behind, and developed a great following. Hethrir eventually re-surfaced, and used the station as a sales point for his slaves. He later convened the first session of the Empire Reborn there, only to be thwarted by the New Republic. When Waru consumed Hethrir, Waru returned to his own galaxy. The station was a hot, balmy workplace, since the shielding which protects the station from the black hole's intense X-radiation give off tremendous amounts of heat. Since the Imperial influence had left, the remaining residents have developed their own society, much of which was based around the religion of Waru. Following Waru's return to his own galaxy, the station was moved away from the dying Crseih system and now orbits Coruscant. The New Republic arrested all of the Imperial supporters on board. (CS)

Crucible
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer was under the command of Dorin Millavec during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (T21)

Crucible
This MC80a was part of the Alliance's fleet, during the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Crucible, The
This was one of the most prominent slaving organizations in the galaxy, during the era of the Mandalorian Wars. The slavers of the Crucible were contracted by the Krish who ran The Franchise to capture and train the gladiators who were forced to fight in the various events stages throughout the galaxy, including swoopdueling. It was believed that the Arkanian Offshoot known as Jarael was once employed by the Crucible. (SWI112, KOR14)

Crucitorn
This Jedi Knight skill allowed the user to transcend physical pain, giving them the ability to overcome tremendous pain and keep moving. (SWI62)

Crude
This was one of the most powerful and illegal drugs available on the galactic black market, during the last years of the Old Republic. Many addicts who no longer found any satisfaction in death sticks turned to Crude, consuming capsules to reach new highs. An individual under the influence of Crude was known to lose all inhibitions and pursue their own selfish desires. The more insecure a being was, the more feverish was their pursuit of their urges. (LEV, SWI89)

Cruegar
This was one of the more common names used by the Gran race. (UANT)

Cruegar
This Gran owned and operated the Paddocks, located within the city of Mos Eisley on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. He left his homeworld of Kinyen years before, and spent several years working for the previous owner of the Paddocks before they disppeared. Cruegar then assumed the responsibilities of running the business, and eventually took ownership. Cruegar was an opportunistic salesbeing who made sure that his prices were set to appeal to those moisture farmers and other settlers who couldn't afford a landspeeder or skyhopper, but needed reliable transport. He also bought and sold livestock for use by restaurants, although this aspect of his business was kept secret by both Cruegar and his customers. Cruegar had no qualms about taking in beasts that wander into the area, but he generally returned them to their rightful owners after short negotiations. Any beings who crossed him or otherwise antagonized Cruegar often found their homes or businesses beset by swarms of scurriers, which Cruegar kept in the Paddocks for just such occasions. (GMR7)

Cruel Kiss
see Kulkis (LFCW)

Cruhn, Elbor
This Herglic was noted in the history of the planet Giju. (UANT)

Cruiser-class Vessel
This was a desgination used by the military leaders of the Confederacy of Independent Systems to describe any large capital ship that was part of the Galactic Republic's naval forces. Despite the designation as Cruiser-class, this classification included the Acclamator-class troopship. (CWTV31)

Cruiser-grade Mark II
This was a mid-level, cruiser-grade starship engine system produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, during the early years of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Crullov City
This was perhaps the most lawless city found on the planet Corulag. Located on the eastern shore of the continent of Resoria, Crullov City originally established as a manufacturing center. However, about a century before the Battle of Yavin, an earthquake destroyed much of the city, reducing its manufacturing facilities to rubble. The officials in Curamelle chose to ignore the city, rather than restore it, leading to rumors of huge payoffs from a Hutt crimelord who wanted to use Crullov City as his base of operations. Whatever the true reason for its existence, Crullov City became the home of most of Corulag's underworld, with smugglers and gangsters using it as a hideout. (CCW)

Crumb, Gibberous
This Kowakian monkey-lizard was the less-intelligent cousin of Salacious Crumb. Gibberous was part of the retinue that worked for the crimelord Riboga the Hutt. After Riboga left the Cularin System, Gibberous remained behind, and was often seen at the cantina known as Riboga's Barge. Gibberous was known to latch onto the first individual who showed him any interest, trailing the individual and cackling at every turn. (MCT2)

Crumb, Salacious B.
Jabba the Hutt's cackling retainer, Salacious Crumb was a Kowakian monkey-lizard who became one of Jabba's closest companions. Salacious had an obnoxious laugh, and had the annoying habit of mimicking what was said around him. This, coupled with his seeming lack of intelligence, made Crumb the perfect spy.

Crumb was a resident of the space station Kwenn when Jabba the Hutt visited there, some years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. Crumb escaped a group of Mantilorrian rat catchers by stowing away on Jabba's starship. He sustained himself by eating Jabba's leftovers, until Jabba discovered the lizard-monkey and tried to eat him. Bidlo Kwerve and Bib Fortuna both tried to capture Salacious Crumb, but Crumb dumped Jabba's food on Kwerve and fled to the rafters. Kwerve tried to shoot Crumb, but only food squirted out of the gun, landing on Fortuna. Jabba's laughter resounded throughout the ship, and from that point on the Hutt kept Crumb around for a daily dose of laughter.

While not fully sentient, Salacious Crumb knew that the day he couldn't make Jabba laugh was the day he died. He constantly searched Jabba's palaces and townhomes for new jokes. He even waylayed strangers and tried to set them up for a meeting with Jabba, just to give the crimelord a laugh. It was believed that Salacious Crumb died when Jabba's sail barge exploded at the Pit of Carkoon. Note that the Return of the Jedi expansion set for the Star Wars Trading Card Game gives Salacious the middle initial B. (E6, MTS, TJP, TCG9, NEGA)

Crumb Bomber
This was one of the many LAAT/i gunships that made up the aerial forces of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. It was distinguished by the image of a Kowakian monkey-lizard on its nose. The creature was aiming a massive bomb at an unseen target, and was meant to frighten any being who saw it in flight. The Crumb Bomber served as Obi-Wan Kenobi's lead gunship during the Republic's attempt to free the planet Ryloth from Separatist control. (CWVG, CWTV03, CWTV20)

Crumblebun
This was a popular breakfast pastry, during the final years of the Old Republic. (CN1)

Crumbling Lands
This was a rocky, arid region of the planet Moorja. The sedimentary rock of the region had been hollowed out over time by underwater streams and rivulets, and was very unstable. The substrata had also been tunneled out by the boring bruwoses that live in the area. (SWJ8)

Crumps
This popular snack food was produced by enslaved Wookiee children on the planet Kwookrrr. (GMR4)

Crunch
see Til (CCW)

Crunch

Crunchbug
A small, chirping insect native to Courkrus, and a favored delicacy of Shala the Hutt. (IJ)

Cruncher
This might have been the name of a Trandoshan thug who terrorized one of Coruscant's many underworld slums, during the final years of the Old Republic. His name might also have been Crusher, but his accent was too thick for most beings to understand him. Cruncher was killed when he tried to extort credits from a family of Kitonaks, and Nick Rostu intervened on behalf of the Kitonaks. Cruncher tried to rush at Rostu and tackle him to the ground, but Rostu simply stepped out of the way. Cruncher tumbled over the edge of a garbage pit and fell to his death, although Rostu wasn't sure if the fall killed him or if he was eaten by a dianoga. (CN1)

Crundha
This man served the Imperial armed forces as a Major, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Major Grundha was assigned to the frigate Shamus, serving under Admiral Zaarin during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. Major Crundha was placed in charge of the plans to eliminate the Nharwaak resistance on Mylok IV, after the Nharwaak threatened to sell the hyperdrive technology they had developed with the Habeen to the Alliance. Major Crundha was later concerned when Admiral Zaarin agreed to personally meet with the Habeen, despite the fact that Zaarin explained that his appearance would prevent the Habeen from discerning the Empire's true intentions in the Mylok System. (TIEP)

Crupa
This nocturnal flying creature was native to the planet Garos IV. (SWJ4, SWJ12)

Crusader
This was the name of Hamar-Chaktak's personal cruiser. It was armed with four medium ion cannons and a pair of turbolaser cannons. (TSIA)

Crusader
This was the name given to the prototype XX-777 automated escort frigate developed at Shipyard Lab 6671-X42, by the combined engineering forces of Loronar Corporation and the Corellian Engineering Corporation. (GMR10)

Crusader
This was one of the two Victory-class Star Destroyers that were deployed to eradicate the Eyttyrmin Batiiv pirates, during the height of the New Order. The Crusader was commanded by Zlece Oonaar, who served under Captain Alistar Dadefra during the mission. Captain Dadefra's vessel, the Bombard, entered the Khuiumin system first, drawing out the first waves of pirate defenders. Captain Oonaar and the Crusader stayed to the rear of the engagement, until the Imperial forces began to take control of the fighting.

Once the pirates began launching their corvettes on escape trajectories, Captain Dadefra ordered both ships to use their tractor beams to keep the Eyttyrmin Batiiv ships from escaping, while deploying zero-G stormtroopers to board the enemy vessels. (SWSB, IJ, OWS)

Crusader Manufacturing
This medium-sized corporation produced a wide range of field gear and weaponry for mercenaries and paramilitary organizations throughout the galaxy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The Empire tried to put a stop to Crusader's ability to produce, market, and sell their goods, but was unable to locate their facilities and shut them down. (SWGAL)

Crusader-Class Corvette
Developed during the height of the New Order, the Crusader-class corvette was named for the Mandalorian Crusaders, and was designed to serve as a gunboat on the front lines of a combat fleet. These ships were armed with sophisticated point-defense targeting and weapons systems, allowing the Crusader to target enemy starfighters and missiles before they could reach the main fleet. (LAWS)

Crusher
This might have been the name of a Trandoshan thug who terrorized one of Coruscant's many underworld slums, during the final years of the Old Republic. His name might also have been Cruncher, but his accent was too thick for most beings to understand him. Crusher was killed when he tried to extort credits from a family of Kitonaks, and Nick Rostu intervened on behalf of the Kitonaks. Crusher tried to rush at Rostu and tackle him to the ground, but Rostu simply stepped out of the way. Crusher tumbled over the edge of a garbage pit and fell to his death, although Rostu wasn't sure if the fall killed him or if he was eaten by a dianoga. (CN1)

Crusher-class Fighter
This type of starfighter was produced during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (RCTC)

Crustacean Cat
see Xandank (SWGAL)

Crustai
This remote planetoid was located within the borders of Chiss space, in the Unknown Regions opf the galaxy. It had been discovered by the Chiss at some point during the Old Republic, and its name was acronym formed by the initial survey team. The Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet established a base of operations on Crustai, which served as an advanced position against the threat of attack from other races in the Unknown Regions. Voss Parck expected Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, to rendevous with Aristocra Formbi at this planet, after he sent them a secret message through Talon Karrde's network of informants, some three years after the Skywalkers left Nirauan. Formbi had planned to meet Luke in order to escort him to the remains of the Outbound Flight Project. However, the message was stolen by Dean Jinzler, and so the Skywalkers traveled directly to Nirauan instead. They later learned that Jinzler had posed as an ambassador from the New Republic to gain access to the mission, and that Formbi had met with Jorj Car'das when he picked up Jinzler at Crustai. Note that Crustai was described as little more than an asteroid in Outbound Flight. (SQ, OF)

Crustbusting
This was the term used by Internal Affairs agents of the Imperial Security Bureau to describe the tactic of harrassing an individual who was under investgation, until the individual actually did something criminal. In this way, the IA agents could legally arrest the individual on one set of charges, while using the arrest as an excuse to further investigate other illegal activities. (ISB)

Crutag
This Taloron Hunter was known to boast that he had never failed to capture a target, and hated being compared to Boba Fett. This was because many felt Crutag wasn't as skilled as Fett was. Crutag once pursued a group of Alliance agents from Kwenn Space Station to Trinta, hoping to obtain the huge bounties on their heads. Crutag and his mercenary band traveled in the specialized starship Scent of Fear. Once on Trinta, Crutag was sought out by Halagad Ventor. The former Jedi Knight wanted to draw on the dark energies of Crutag's mind, hoping to increase his own connection to the Dark Side of the Force. However, Crutag and his team were defeated by the Alliance agents and eliminated, cutting off Ventor's new link to the Dark Side. (DOE)

CRX Tug
This was a nickname for the Cuirilla-Rayl Xylines-class spacetug. (PP, TA)

Cryalina
This Tarasin female served as the Irstat-Kes of the Hiironi tribe, following the sudden death of Meirana and the placement of Dariana as the tribe's Mother. She was a skilled hunter, and would rather have been hunting than leading her tribe. Her reluctance at accepting the position was evident in her decision-making, although she worked hard to get better. (LFC)

Cryalira
This female Tarasin served as the Irstat-Kes of the Hiironi irstat, during the final years of the Old Republic. She was present at the staged negotiations between the leaders of the Cularin System and Gavid Lermyn, shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars, represented Mother Dariana in an effort to resolve the conflict between Cularin and Thaere Privo. (JCT1)

Cryalira
This was a common name within the Tarasin culture. (UANT)

Cryar, Cassie
This female Terellian was a noted jango jumper and small-time criminal in the underworld of Galactic City, on the planet Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. During the height of the Clone Wars, Cassie Cryar was apprehended by Ahsoka Tano at the apartment of Nack Movers, when Ahsoka and Jedi Master Tera Sinube were searching for Ahsoka's lightsaber. They believed that the weapon had been sold to Movers by Bannamu, but arrived at the apartment to find that movers had been killed. When Ahsoka began to search the apartment, she found Cryar hidden in the bedroom. Rather than be captured, Cryar leapt from her hiding place, wielding the lightsaber but unable to turn it on. Cryar then sucker-punched Ahsoka and fled out a window. After a short chase, Cryar was picked up by her partner, Ione Marcy, who had fled from Master Sinube. Unfortunately for the two criminals, Master Sinube had placed a tracking beacon on Marcy's clothing, and the two Jedi were able to locate them before Cryar could destroy the beacon. The criminals fled into a crowded speeder station, with Ahsoka pursuing Cryar onto a moving train. Cryar believed that she had finally escaped when the train came to its destination, but she was dismayed to find Master Sinube waiting for her when they arrived. She was quickly disarmed and captured, and was later taken into custody by the local police force. Ahsoka was able to recover her lightsaber, but was directed by Master Sinube to take a lightsaber class with a group of younglings as her punishment. (CWTV33)

Crying Room
This room was located in the Chateau Malreaux, and named for the fact that it was used by the wives of the Viscounts to bemoan their positions in life. Unknown to many who visited the Chateau, the Crying Room was filled with all manner of surveillance devices, including specialized infrared swtaches woven into the napkins and tablecloths. (YDR)

Crynoid
This small arachnid was native to the planet Neftali, and was known to the locals as the snow spider. They were white in color, which helped them blend into the snowy environment, and they had ten segmented legs. These insects were not considered aggressive, but would bite if provoked, injecting a painful poison that short-circuited a victim's neurological systems. (WSV)

Crynor
This Nediji word described one of the many colors that were not visible to most humanoid eyes. It was only visible to races like the Nediji, that could see above and below the wavelengths of visible light. (MJH)

Crynyd
Named for Arvel Crynyd, the Alliance starfighter pilot who caused the destruction of the Executor in the Battle of Endor, this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was captured by New Republic forces which were protecting the planet Milagro. The Imperial ship was damaged at the time, and limped into the Milagro System. It tried to fight back against the Dreadnaught New Hope, but was unable to defeat the Republic ship. Refitted and renamed the Crynyd, ths ship was made part of the fleet assigned to Han Solo and the Mon Remonda during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. In the attempt to trap Zsinj at Vahaba, the Crynyd and the Skyhook were assigned to protect the Interdictor cruiser Stellar Web. The ship was later assigned to the task force that was led by Admiral Ackabr and Admiral Rogriss, with the mission of defeated Imperial Warlord Teradoc. During the fighting, the Republic's warships took heavy damaged, and the Crynyd was destryoyed in the battle. (SOC, ECH, NECH)

Crynyd, Arvel
This Alliance starfighter pilot crashed his A-Wing into the Executor's command bridge during the Battle of Endor. The resulting explosion caused incredible amounts of damage to the Star Destroyer's control systems, and the gravity of the Death Star pulled it to its fiery demise. (EGV)

Cryo Cylinder
This specialized conduit was designed to carry the huge amount of drive coolant that was needed to maintain the proper operating temperatures of sublight drives and hyperdrives. Cryo cylinders had to be able to withstand heavy pressure, since the coolant was constantly pumped through the drive systems to keep them from overheating. (TFUN)

Cryo Lance
This heavy lance was essentially a polearm that had weighted ends. Each end of the cryo lance contained a small power generator, and a strike at bare flesh caused intense freezing damage. (SWGAL)

CryoBan
This chemical weapon was developed for use by the Empire, to be launched in a canister-type projectile. When dispersed, it froze on contact, incapacitating those living beings who were affected. (ISB)

Cryocooler
This was the more common name for the MerrSonn Gk3 heavy weapon heat dissipation unit. (ISB)

Cryo-cycle Statis
This was the name given to a medical technique that temporarily suspended the bodily functions on an injured being. The technique and its associated technology were developed during the final decades of the Old Republic. By literally freezing the body of an injured being, their internal systems could be slowed down to the barest minimum for a short peroid of time. This allowed doctors and surgeons a chance to investigate a problem, or tend to a more needy patients, before returning to the original injuries. This technique was not without its risks, and a patient could only be kept in cryo-stasis for a few hours before the body began to fail due to the effects of freezing. (SWI83)

Cryodroid
This was a generic term used to describe any droid that was equipped to work in freezing temperatures. (RCTC)

Cryogen
This substance was used by medical facilities of the Old Republic to freeze cells and tissue samples for later use. The became important during the Clone Wars, as the various organs that were created for transplanting into clone troopers could be shipped and stored in cryogen and transported across the galaxy. (MJH)

Cryogenic Power Cells
Shipboard power sources designed to store the energy created by the starship's reactor core. The energy from the reactor was stored in spherical containers at near-absolute-zero temperatures until needed. (SCRE, SWSB)

CryonCorp
Manufacturers of personal scanning devices, such as the EnhanceScan, CryonCop was founded during the last decades of the Old Republic. In the wake of the Clone Wars, the corporation allied itself with Bail Organa and the Alliance to Restore the Republic. With the destruction of the planet Alderaan, CryonCorp redoubled its efforts to ensure that the Alliance received the technology it needed to survive. The Alliance's victory at the Battle of Endor didn't bring any huge leap in profits for CryonCorp, although the corporation remained one of the New Republic's foremost suppliers of scanning devices and sensor equipment. (CCG9, NEGW)

Cryoseal Bag
This specialized container was used to carry body parts and organs between hospitals and medical facilities. When sealed, the cryoseal bag generated an intense cold inside the bag, protecting the tissue from spoiling during transport. The bag needed to remain sealed throughout transport, or the temperature inside could fluctuate, causing damage to the tissue inside. (RCTC)

Cryo-stasis
This was another name for cryo-cycle stasis. (SWI83)

Cryovial
This was the name given to small tubes which can be used to transport chemicals or specimens. The cryovials were surrounded by a freezing agent which was activated with a twist or shake. Once activated, the chemicals reduce the temperature of the vial's contents to the freezing point, allowing them to be transported without fear of spoilage. (CCR)

Crypt Master
This was the title given to the Sullustan individuals who maintained the burial vaults that were established on the planet Sullust. In addition to protecting the crypts, the crypt master presided over tomb-walling ceremonies. (DN2)

Crypt of Martyrs
Located in the city of Qatamer, on the planet Lorrd, this public tomb was originally constructed to honor those Lorrdians who gave their lives during the Kanz Disorders, attempting to free their people from Argazdan enslavement. Over the following millennia, the tomb was expanded in order to honor any Lorrdians who gave their lives in order to ensure peace and justice in the galaxy. Each tomb with the Crypt of Martyrs was equipped with a holoprojector that displayed information about the Lorrdian who was buried there. (OWS)

Crypt of the Ancients
Located in the center of Necropolis' largest cemetary, this huge crypt was supposedly the resting place of the witch Sycorax and her son. The building was heavily carved, with rows of dragon-like faces across the front and a massive iron door at the entrance. (GOF2)

Crypt, The
Located deep beneath Coruscant's Imperial Palace, The Crypt was a heavily-secured computer slicing and decoding center during the last decades of the Old Republic. (CCW)

Cryptanalysis Department
This branch of the Old Republic's Office of Analysis was created by Senate Bureau of Intelligence Director Armand Isard during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Cryptanalysis Department was formed to head off the slicers who were working for the Separatists, cracking into Republic computers and stealing all kinds of information. The Cryptanalysis Department was originally headed by Ilko Deminar. (SWI65)

Cryptberry
Native to the planet Necropolis, this large red berry was poisonous if consumed by humans and other humanoid species. Evazan used the juice from these berries to poison the subjects he used during Project Starscream. (GOF2)

Crys
This clone troopers served under Captain Rex, during the height of the Clone Wars. Distinguished by his blonde-dyed hair, Crys was part of the small team that was dispatched to the planet Saleucami, during an early hunt for General Grievous. (CWT32)

Cryseefa Gas
This highly-toxic poison was known for its acidic nature. It was highly corrosive, and was considered lethal to most oxygen-breathing races. Thus, while it was sometimes used as a chemical weapon, it was difficult to control which beings breathed it in and which did not. Luckily, the use of cryseefa gas was relegated to only the most deviant of criminals. (A)

CrystaClear
This was the brand name of a specially-made glass that was developed during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. CrystaClear could be used to create tabletops for a variety of types of furniture, such as desks and dining tables, because it was exceptionally resistant to shattering, breakage, and scratches, and maintained it shine and luster for many years. (FJ3)

Crystal Arch
This unusual stone arch, located on the planet Corellia, was formed entirely from crystalline material. (SWGAL)

Crystal Barnacle
These parasites were similar to the oceanic namesakes, but were a crystalline lifeform which could survive in the vacuum of space. Using small claws, crystal barnacles attached themselves to the hulls of starships in drydock, and used a mildly acidic secretion to eat away at the metallic hull. (EGP)

Crystal Cave
This was the name of the cave, located on the planet Dantooine many millennia before the Galactic Civil War, that was kept secret by the Jedi Knights of the time. The Cave was located at the southeast end of the Sandral Fields. In this cave, they harvested the basic crystals that were used in the construciton of lightsabers. When the Jedi temple on Dantooine was abandoned, the location of the Crystal Cave was lost. (KOTOR)

Crystal Cave
Located on the planet Ilum, this cave was similar in many respects to the Dark Side cave found on the planet Dagobah. The key difference was that, once a Jedi Padawan completed the test which was laid before him in the cave, the student could obtain an Ilum Crystal for use in their lightsaber. Often, the mouth of the cave was guarded by gorgodons which had climbed the mountain in search of food. Once inside, the Jedi student had to face any number of visions and voices, sometimes experiencing past events or facing their fears before reaching the crystal growths. Once a crystal was harvested, the student had to then meditate and construct their new lightsaber before emerging from the cave. Lining the walls of the cave's length were crued drawings left behind by Jedi students, giving a sort of history of the Jedi. (JQ, WOTC)

Crystal City
This city served as the planetary capital of the planet Christophsis. Crystal City was named for the fact that much of the city, including buildings and other structures, had been chiseled from the crystalline rock of the surrounding area, and appeared to have been carved from gemstones. During the height of the Clone Wars, Separatist forces under the command of General Whorm Loathsom entrenched themselves in Crystal City, but were eventually forced to retreat by a force of clone troopers led by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. (CWN, CWYN)

Crystal Cloak
This unusual cloak was in the possession of Gracca, on the Forest Moon of Endor, during the early years of the New Order. The Crystal Cloak allowed Gracca to turn any object into a solid shard of crystal. (ECAR)

Crystal Eye
This silvery orb was believed to have been one of the original eyes of the Kreegon beast, which terrorized the Ewoks during the early years of the New Order. The Crystal Eye was kept by Chief Chirpa in a safe place, preventing the Kreegon from reappearing. Morag later tried to steal the Crystal Eye, in an attempt to wipe out the Ewoks and gain power over the Forest Moon of Endor. However, Chirpa tricked Morag into using her magic against the Kreegon, and she destroyed the Eye completely. The destruction of the eye killed the Kreegon once and for all. (MECAR)

Crystal Fern
These silicon-based crystalline formations were strange, transparent growths that were found in some asteroid belts. The best crystal fern specimens were found in the Hoth asteroid belt, where they were known to grow between neighboring asteroids. The average fern was several meters in height. When conditions were right, they can continue to grow outward, forming tangled webs. The ferns' ability to grow like this, spanning asteroids, had led to theories that the fern was an actual lifeform. The crystal ferns were sought by collectors, scientists, and profit-seekers, although they were incredibly hard to harvest without causing major damage to their structure. (ISU)

Crystal Flats
This region of the planet Mustafar was named for its ground structure, which was formed from the crystalline deposits left behind by ancient lava flows. The Crystal Flats was known to be the home of a particularly aggressive subspecies of Mustafar lava flea. (SWGAL)

Crystal Forest
Located on the planet Calipsa, this protected forest was one of the only surviving natural areas on the planet. It encompassed five square kilometers of forest, and protected a variety of unusual plant and animals from throughout the Tapani Sector. (LOE)

Crystal Forest
This unusual crystalline formation was located in the deep desert of the planet Samaria. The Crystal Forests were believed to have been formed millions of years before the Clone Wars, when the planet was locked in an ice age. As glaciers and ice floes moved across the planet's surface, they exposed deep veins of dense crystal. Over the millennia, these crystals were further exposed and eroded, and came to form strange cliffs and exotic, tree-like shapes that stood more than a hundred meters in the air. (LJ6)

Crystal Forests
This was the name of a huge grove of crystalline spires that was located on the planet Goratak III. (SWI80)

Crystal Fountain
This wondrous, crystal fountain was located in the heart of the city of Bela Vistal, on the planet Corellia. (SWG2P)

Crystal Fuel
Developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, crystal fuel was a solid form of fuel that could be carried without the need for speciallized containers. It was engineered to provide maximum power from minimal material, in order to make its production and usage cost-effective. (BF4)

Crystal Gravfield Trap Receptors (CGT)
These sensory devices use a synthetic crystal grid to detect fluctuations in the gravimetric plane. They were very effective, but can be inconclusive if used near a large spacial body, such as a planet. They can also be rigged to reflect sensor scans, and were operable from thousands of kilometers away. (HTTE, TLC, LCSB)

Crystal Image Spinner
This was one of the many devices used by Ewok shamans to discern the future. When spun like a top, the crystal image spinner was believed to provide a shaman with a vision of the near future. (MECAR)

Crystal Jewel
This casino was located in the Southern underground, below the surface of Coruscant, just outside Imperial City. It had changed hands at least fifteen times before it was renamed the Crystal Jewel, and it was the site of the sabacc match in which Han Solo won the planet Dathomir from Omogg the Drackmarian. Under the name Crystal Jewel, it was where Jarril agreed to meet Solo to discuss the strange dealings going on in the Smuggler's Run. They felt the repercussions of Dolph's bombing of the Senate Assembly Chamber there. (TNR, CCW)

Crystal Memories Model 17
This was a holographic recording device which was developed shortly before the Battle of Coruscant, and used by many news agencies throughout the New Republic. It was popular among field reporters because it was lightweight and contained more audio and video memory than previous models. (EL2)

Crystal Moon
A restaurant opened in Mos Eisley by Porcellus and Malakili following their escape from Jabba the Hutt's palace. The restaurant quickly became known as the best place to eat in the Outer Rim, and a number of franchises were built on planets along the Corellian Run. A larger, more popular franchise was opened in Mos Entha during the early years of the New Republic. (TJP, SOT)

Crystal Moon Mos Entha
This was the proper name of the Mos Entha franchise of the Crystal Moon restaurant, in order to differentiate it from the original Mos Eisley restaurant. Much of the restaurant's funding came from Herogga the Hutt, who used the restaurant as a covert base of operations for his attempt to regain control of Tatooine for the Hutts. (SOT)

Crystal Oscillator
Part of a starship's powertrain, it was a small, thick cylinder which initiates the flow of energy to the ship's power core. (BFE)

Crystal Reef
This floating Mon Calamarian city was the largest of the resorts established on the planet in the wake of the Battle of Endor. It travelled near the planet's polar caps, providing its clientele with spectacular views of the icecaps and calving icebergs while offering the latest in casinos and gambling games. It was from a base on Crystal Reef that Czethros hoped to begin distributing the spice he mined, once he took control of Kessel. However, all of Czethros' plans were thwarted by the young Jedi Knights from Luke Skywalker's praxeum on Yavin 4. They destroyed the initial cache of spice hidden in the arctic polar caps, and then helped remove the Black Sun operatives hidden within the city. (CCR)

Crystal Reef Amusement and Tourism Council
This was the controlling body which managed the resort city of Crystal Reef, on the planet Calamari. (CCR)

Crystal Room
This was one of the many luxurious barroms that were located in the Teirra Parko establishment, located in Recardeon, on the planet Rimma. Fitz Roi shot off his antique projectile pistols in this establishment, sometime around the Battle of Yavin, after being challenged by a fellow patron. The incident led to Roi being deported from Rimma, which then sparked small riots as his fans protested the cancellation of his concerts. (SWJ3, OWS)

Crystal Snake
A transparent reptile native to the jungles of Yavin 4, the crystal snake can be detected two ways: by locating its beady, black eyes, or by watching the light as it refracts through the snake's body. The bite of a crytsal snake was mildly poisonous to most humanoid races, inducing sleep almost immediately. The snake's scales seems to be composed of diamond film. (HTF, JUS)

Crystal Snare, The
This crystalline asteroid was located in the asteroid belt of the Cularin System. It was originally discovered by Reidi Artom, who also discovered an unusual energy source in the vicinity of the crystal asteroid. The asteroid itself measured four kilometers across, with several spires and nodes protruding from it. No explanation for its formation or existence had been proposed, mainly because scientific exploration of the asteroid always revealed strange and unusual results. What was known about the asteroid was that its structure seemed to amplify any transmission sent toward it, including naturally occurring sunlight and solar energy. This was the cause of the unusual energy source discovered by Reidi Artom, but all attempts to recreate the effect have since failed. (LFC)

Crystal Spires
This was the name given to the beautiful crystal formations found on the planet Cyimarra. (SWJ5)

Crystal Valley
Found on the planet Lazerian IV, this naturally-guarded valley was doubly protected by twelve of the King's Own Guard. Located on the King's estate, this winding valley was the only known site on which empeth crystals grow. (TSK)

Crystal Valley
This crystalline valley was located on the planet Monastery. Two separate pathways led down into the valley. It was customary among the members of the Order of the Sacred Circle to have two combatants travel down these separate paths, then meet in the valley to settle a duel or conflict. The floor of the valley was shrouded in mists, which swirled among crystal stalagmites and obscured dangerously sharp crags. When the mists condensed into dew on the ground, new crystals suddenly grew from the ground, spearing unknowing passersby. (MC36, MC37)

Crystal Wasters
This was the name adopted by a group of surfers and other slackers who took up residence on the moon Dorumaa, during the final years of the Old Republic. They followed the seasonal currents across the planet's surface, always on the lookout for the perfect wave. Because of their extensive knowledge of Dorumaa's currents, the Crystal Wasters were often sought out by the Dorumaa Research Insititute as lookouts and spotters for various expeditions. Although most of the members of the Crystal Wasters were human, their numbers also included several Gungans and a few Cereans. (DC)

Crystal Worm
This huge species of worms lived beneath the icy surface of the planet Mygeeto. These creatures burrowed through the ice and snow, creating long tunnels through which they could move with relative ease. (OWS, RCTC)

Crystal, The
This was the name Jaina Solo used for the modified Z-95 given to her as a graduation present by her father, Han Solo, when she completed her training at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. (GMR5)

Crystalboy
One of Boba Fett's former employers, he managed to get Slave I out of a New Republic storage facility during a liquidation auction. (DESB)

Crystalline Durasteel
This was a form of durasteel that was originally developed by Rendili StarDrive, during the early years of the New Order. It was found to be an excellent material for creating lightweight starship armor plating. (SWG2P)

Crystalline Kahlyt, The
This fable was written on the planet M'haeli, and centered on an unusual kahlyt that could lay rybat crystal eggs. The farmer who owned the kahlyt became gradually wealthy by selling the eggs in town, but his wife became impatient. Rather than simply letting nature run its course, she cut the kahlyt open to obtain all of its crystal. Unfortunately, all she found inside were the innards of a regular kahlyt. Thus, in her haste to become richer, she found no immediate wealth and eliminated the source of her current income. Over time, the moral of this story infiltrated many parts of the galaxy, and many beings spoke of "not killing the kahlyt that laid the rubat eggs." (MJH)

Crystallite
This white stone was often used to create wondrous carvings, for the stone seemed to glow from within. Rumors held that crystallite was formed from the ashes of a long-dead Twi'leki hero by the Nercathi clan. The ashes were supposedly compressed under extreme pressure to form the crystals,and the crystals were used in carvings which comemmorated an ancient Twi'leki hero. Each carving, representing the skull of the hero, stood for one of the three Twi'leki clan ceremonies - Jasshi'rr, Waala, and Keysshi. (SWJ12)

CT-914
This clone trooper was one of many who suffered from an undetermined malady during the Jasserak Engagement on Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. He was admitted for treatment to the Rimsoo Seven military hospital after experiencing fainting spells every time he stood up. The doctors and medics at Rimsoo Seven were unable to find a cause for his malady, until Jedi Padawan Barriss Offee arrived at the unit. With the Force, she was able to discover that CT-914 had suffered an injury to his hypothamlus, which was causing disruptions to his neural network. Offee managed to "massage" the hypothalmus, removing the malignancy and allowing CT-914 to return to action. This experience, coupled with the death of CT-915, elicited strong emotions from CT-914. The trooper understood what emotions were, but often supressed them in order to focus on his job. CT-915 had been decanted just after him, and so they shared a bond that was strengthened during their training. They had spent many off-duty hours together, and CT-914 had considered CT-915 to be his brother. His seeming humanity proved to be an enigma to Doctor Jos Vondar, who had always thought of clone troopers as emotionless drones. Thus, CT-914's death in a Separatist ambush shortly afterward left Doctor Vondar with a deep sense of sorrow and loss, having accepted CT-914 as an example of a clone trooper's humanity. (MBS)

Many beings who first met Cudgel remarked that, despite the fact that he was human, he was nearly as hairy as a Wookiee. When Olee Starstone traveled to Kashyyyk with Filli Bitters, it was Bitters who put her in touch with Cudgel. Cudgel's contacts included Tarfful and the leaders of Kachirho, who agreed to held the Jedi with their search. This effort was cut short when Imperial forces descended on Kashyyyk, subduing entire cities in an effort to capture Wookiee slaves to work on the construction of the first Death Star. The group might not have escaped the attacks, but Roan Shyrne suddenly arrived on the planet and confronted Darth Vader himself. This allowed Starstone, the surviving Jedi, Cudgel, and Chewbacca to escape aboard the Drunk Dancer. However, after seeing Rwookrrorro in flames, Cudgel and Chewbacca both asked to join the crew of the Drunk Dancer, to ride out the trouble on Kashyyyk and plan an eventual return to the planet.

These clones, developed by Arkanian Microtechnologies, were produced in contrast to the basic soldiers cloned from the DNA of Erv Lekauf. Sa Cuis had been trained by Palpatine to try and assassinate Darth Vader, as part of the elaborate and continual development of Vader as the Emperor's apprentice. Vader was able to eliminate Sa Cuis, but the Dark Jedi's body was taken away and held in stasis so that its genetic material could be harvested. After the Sa Cuis clones were tested at the training facility on Yinchorr, they were to be transported to Coruscant, where they would serve as Palpatine's personal task force. However, while en route from Yinchorr, the six clones and their instructor, Sheyvan, rebelled against their master.

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

Cularin
This planet was the primary world of the Cularin System. Covered with lush rainforests and tropical jungles, Cularin was the homeworld of the Tarasin race. It was also known as the native planet of the rare ch'hala trees. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, the planet as well as the entire Cularin System, suddenly disappeared from the sector. No one knows exactly what happened, not even the inhabitants of the planet. What was known was that Cularin reappeared several years later, almost as suddenly as it disappeared, shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars. Senator Lavina Wren, despite the fact that Cularin technically did not exist, continued to represent the system in the Galactic Senate. Many linked the disappearance of the Cularin System, often referred to as The Blink, to the rediscovery of the ancient artifact known as the Darkstaff. When Cularin reappeared, many felt that things would be different. However, things only got worse on Cularin and in the surrounding system, especially when public sentiment turned against the Jedi Order. Shortly before the First Battle of Coruscant and the end of the Clone Wars, the HoloNet aired a statement from an unspecified woman, in which she explained that the Cularin System was seceding from the Republic. It was later learned that the woman was Senator Lavira Wren herself. Although it was explained that the government had no desire to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Cularin found itself completely alone when the forces of the Old Republic were withdrawn from the Cularin System and disptached elsewhere. (LFC, LFCW)

Cularin Armed Forces
After the defeat of the Thaereian Military, the Cularin Militia was reorganized into the Cularin Armed Forces. (LFCW)

Cularin Arms Apartment Complex
This collection of apartment buildings was located in the city of Gadrin, on the planet Cularin, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (NET2)

Cularin Asteroid Belt
This ring of rubble and debris was located in the Cularin System. It was believed that the asteroid belt was created when an ancient planet was destroyed in a cataclysmic event, although little evidence was ever found to support or refute this theory. During the final decades of the Old Republic, the Cularin Asteroid Belt became a haven for smugglers and criminals, and the crimelords Nirama and Riboga both established bases of operations within the belt.

In the midst of the Clone Wars, a group of freelance agents working for Nirama discovered that the belt was the remains of Oblis, a crystalline planet that had been destroyed millennia before when the planet's inhabitants tried to use the Darkstaff to defend themselves. The disembodied spirits of the Oblee became shadow lurkers, existing in a soundless realm of darkness and slowly dying out, until the agents managed to free them.

Jedi Master Lanius Qel-Bertuk later revealed that several of the more remote asteroids in the belt contained lodes of Adegan crystals, many of which were mined to help Padawans during the Test of the Lightsaber. (LFCW, BIT2, BIT3, JCT3)

Cularin Central Broadcasting
This media corporation produced much of the holo-video seen on the planet Cularin, during the last decades of the Old Republic. CCB provided news and entertainment to the planet's many inhabitants, although this coverage often seemed biased toward the Thaereian Military. This bias was evident in the ways that Yara Grugara was forced to retract certain statements or reports, or in the ways in which interviews with Lanius Qel-Bertuk or the Cularin Militia were cut short or never broadcast. The conspiracy within the CCB was eventually exposed when Operation False Horizon allowed the Cularin Militia to seize control of many Thaereian-held bases throughout the Cularin System. Three CCB executives were charged with conspiracy and placed into custody just after the operation began, and the new leaders quickly called for stern measures for the "traitors". (LFCW)

Cularin Central Finance
This was the primary financial institution of the Cularin System, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (WOTC)

Cularin Classic
This annual swoop race was held at the Cularin Repulsor Speedway, located in the city of Gadrin, during the final decades of the Old Republic. It was first held several years after the Battle of Naboo, after the Cularin System reappeared in the galaxy. This inaugural event was dubbed the Mechanical versus Organic Showdown by the local media, since Team SoroSuub fielded the XB-01, a remote-controlled swoop that was designed to compete with the best organic racers in the system.

The four-lap race was laid out in an area measuring forty meters by sixty meters, and was surrounded with a wall that was sealed with a deflector shield to protect the spectators. Four obstacles awaited the racers: the Storm, the Dragon Bones, the Pillars of Doom, and the Tatooine Whirlwind. (JST3)

Cularin Comet Cloud
This unusual collection of cometary bodies encircled the Cularin System. Extensive research and tracking led to the identification of most of the comets and their orbits, which helped to ensure that space travel into and out of the system was as safe as possible. However, rogue comets were found on a regular basis, giving rise to the establishment of comet-sweeping operations within the Cularin System. (AYS)

Cularin Compact
The Cularin Compact was the defining set of agreements which were negotiated in the wake of the Tarasin Revolt, around 125 years before the Clone Wars. The Jedi Knights were called in to settle the dispute between the native Tarasin of Cularin and the corporations who were on the planet to harvest ch'hala trees for wood. In the Cularin Compact, the Jedi outlined the rights of the Tarasin people to hold the trees sacred. The Compact also noted that outside logging interests had been previously allowed under Tarasin religion. After six months of negotiation, the Compact described the sharply curtailed logging activities which would be allowed on Cularin, thereby satisfying the Tarasin's demands and allowing logging to continue. A peace between the Tarasin and the offworlders eventually took hold. (LFC, JST1)

Cularin I
This Carrack-class cruiser was considered the flagship of the Cularin Militia's naval forces, during the era of the Clone Wars. The ship was commanded by Commander Osten Dal'Nay. (MCT3)

Cularin Militia
This was the primary peacekeeping force in the Cularin System, during the last decades of the Old Republic. After the Battle of Naboo, the Militia's presence in Cularin seemed to dwindle as the Thaereian Militia gained power. This was all simply a way of giving the Thaereians a false sense of security, however. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, Osten Dal'Nay and Broof Yurdel launched Operation False Horizon, activating the Militia's members and seizing control of many Thaereian-held bases throughout the Cularin System. (LFCW)

Cularin New Comer Center
Located in the city of Hedrett, on the planet Cularin, this orientation facility was developed to assist beings who chose to relocate their homes to the Cularin System. Acting as an immigration portal, the Cularin New Comer Center helped transplanted individuals learn about the Cularin System and gave them a wealth of information on moving around the largest cities and within the system itself. Employment opportunities and living arrangements could be perused and acquired from the Center's computer systems, assisting with the more menial chores of relocation and allowing newcomers to get their feet underneath them. (REPL)

Cularin News Service
see Cularin Newsnet (FOC3)

Cularin Newsnet
This was the term used to describe the collection of news agencies which provided service to the Cularin System, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Subscribers to the Cularin Newsnet could access a variety of newsfeeds, including those from Cularin Central Broadcasting. (WOTC)

Cularin Now
This was the name of a regularly-scheduled, sensationalist newsfeed that was popular among the lower-class citizens of the Cularin System, during the final years of the Old Republic. The reporters who worked for Cularin Now specialized in stories that contained small grains of truth, which were then wrapped with all manner of papparazzi video footage and subtle innuendos, all of which made each news story something more exciting than it actually was. (FOC2)

Cularin Repulsor Speedway
This swoop- and speeder-racing facility was located in the city of Gadrin, on the planet Cularin, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (JST3)

Cularin SpaceNav Control
This branch of the Cularin government was charged with ensuring the safety of the space lanes into and out of the Cularin System, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Among the primary duties of the Cularin SpaceNav agency was the monitoring of the Cularin Comet Cloud. (AYS)

Cularin Star Tours
This cruise line was established by Janvar Jan, during the final years of the Old Republic, to provide tourists with visits to various locations within the "mysterious" Cularin System. CST operated three luxury liners to transport passengers to their destination, as well as a support ship that could offload passengers in case of an emergency aboard one of the luxury liners. The main offices were located in the city of Hedrett, on Cularin.

CST's business was a bit different than other luxury cruise lines, in that it rented out its three ships to wealthy customers, instead taking them along as passengers. In this way, customers could tailor their cruise to any number of specific sidetrips or excursions. The company's motto was quite simple: "Cularin Star Tours: Bringing the stars to you."

The company was left in limbo after Janvar Jan was accused of smuggling and sent to prison for a number of years. Note that this company is often referred to as Cularin Stellar Tours. (REPL)

Cularin System
This Mid-Rim solar system was located in the Expansion Region, close to the Corellian Trade Route. The system was first located some 200 years before the Battle of Naboo by Reidi Artom, who named it Reidi Artom VI before learning that the system had been already catalogued. It was unique and unusual in many ways. First, its primary star was actually a pair of stars that existed in extremely close proximity, the yellow Morasil and the white dwarf Termandus. Second, three of the system's five planets were incredibly dense, giving the entire system an incredibly large gravitational pull and causing all sorts of problems for starship navigational computers. Third, the system was also a nexus for the energies of the Force, both the Light Side and the Dark.

Navigation in and around the system was made even more dangerous by the existence of a dense cloud of comets, whose positions change regularly and cannot be adequately predicted. The asteroid belt which located between the planet of Genarius and Almas was believed to be the remnants of a lush, jungle planet, which was later identified as Oblis. Data revealed that the asteroid belt passed completely around the twin suns of Morasil and Termadus once every 3,924 standard days.

Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, the entire Cularin System suddenly disappeared from the sector. No one knew exactly what happened, not even the inhabitants of the system's planets. What was known was that the Cularin System reappeared some ten years later, almost as suddenly as it disappeared, shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars. Many linked the disappearance, known as The Blink, to the rediscovery of the ancient artifact known as the Darkstaff. Several years later, the entire Cularin System was placed under martial law by the Old Republic, after Senator Lavira Wren was arrested as a traitor for supposedly working in collusion with the Separatists. The cruisers Reliant and Devout were dispatched to bring the system under control.

As the Clone Wars ground to a climax, however, the HoloNet suddenly broadcast a message from an unknown Cularin representative. The message explained that Cularin was seceding from the Republic, and that it would remain completely neutral in the greater conflict. The woman in the message was later revealed to have been Senator Lavira Wren herself. In a matter of days, all Republic forces were withdrawn from Cularin, and the system found itself utterly alone. (LFC, LFCW, NET2)

Cularin Transit Authority
This branch of the Cularin System's government oversaw the multitude of starship traffic that moved into and out of the system, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The CTA was repsonsible for ensuring that all starships were properly maintained, and kept records of the various modifications that were done to local ships. (LFCW)

Culariner
This was a term used to describe the people of Cularin. (LFCW)

Culcanis MicroInstruments
This small corporation produced a wide range of specialty tools, from surveillance devices to power tools. (GFT)

Culkuda
This toothy, predatory fish was native to the planet Pavo Prime. (SWI67)

Cull, The
This was the term used by the bettors who wagered their credits on the swoopduelists who participated in the Tandem Open, during the era of the Mandalorian Wars, to describe the semifinal round of the event. The name stemmed from the fact that the outcome of the race decided the finalists, and culled out the lesser racers from contention. This also served to weed out those bettors who placed their wagers on the longshots. (KOR13)

culmil1
This was the generic userid of Cularin Military, used whenever an agent needed to participate in various discussions on the Cularin node of the HoloNet, during the height of the Clone Wars. (LFCW)

Culpa, Aga
This thin-bodied humanoid ruled over the moon of Nar Shaddaa, some four years after the Battle of Naboo. Aga Culpa was distinguished by his pale gray skin, as well as the full-scalp cyborg unit on top of his head. He made a pact with the slave raider Krayn, allowing him to control the spice processing facilities on Nar Shaddaa in return for the freedom of the beings who lived on the station. Aga Culpa was viewed as weak for this agreement, an assessment which was quite correct. When Siri Tachi and Anakin Skywalker escaped from Krayn, they were able to secure Culpa's help in allowing a slave revolt, as Culpa agreed to order the Nar Shaddaa guards to do nothing to stop the slaves. (JQ, JQC)

Culpharm
This was one of the handful of pharmaceutical companies that were founded near Hedrett, on the planet Cularin, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Like its rivals, Culpharm spent a great deal of credits and time researching the possible uses of the native flora and fauna that was found in Cularin's jungles. Just after the onset of the Clone Wars, a group of Culpharm scientists disappeared near Hedrett. They were later discovered on Tilnes by a group of freelance agents who had been hired by the Almas Academy to locate Nek Lawsirk. The agents discovered that Lawsirk and the scientists had been captured by a Dark Jedi. Using Lawsirk's identity, the Dark Jedi named Raik Muun had captured the t'salak, and forced the Culpharm scientists to help her breed the evil creature. (FOC2)

Culria
Lanius Qel-Bertuk once served the Jedi Knights on this planet. Note that this may simply be a misspelling of Cularin. (LFC)

Culroon
A human inhabitant of the planet Culroon III. (SWSB)

Culroon III
A planet known during the Old Republic, but for the most part ignored. The people of the planet were continually at war, and never got a chance to develop any advanced technology. When Emperor Palpatine wanted to subjugate the planet, he sent a garrison there. However, the Culroon people were able to obtain energy weapons from spacefaring, and they united under a man named Kloff to oppose the Imperial yoke. (SWSB)

Culroon Minstrel
This luxury cruise liner catered to older Core World residents who wanted to see the Mid Rim Territories, during the height of the New Order. The ship's passengers were often between fifty and seventy years of age, and was crewed by an older staff of valets and officers, to help passengers feel more comfortable. Zardra almost caught Dharus aboard this Jesoni-class starliner, several years before the Battle of Endor, an event which had an unexpected result. Many younger vacationers learned of the event, and started booking cruises aboard the Culroon Minstrel, hoping to experience the thrill of adventure. This put a strain on the aging crew, many of whom simply retired. (GG9, OWS)

Culslon Gas
This gas was used in many manufacturing processes. (SWJ6)

Cult of Death
This was the primary religious organization found within the Chron civlization. Because of the location of the Charon homeworld near the huge black hole in Otherspace, many Charon believed that death was inevitable, and that the Charon were created to destroy all life they encountered and return it to the Void of Death. Led by the Prophet of the Void, these death cults gained enough power to eventually take control of Charon society, during the early years of the New Order. (UANT)

Cult of Light
This splinter group of the Charon civilization was formed in opposition to the Cult of Death during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Rather than openly seeking the death of any being they encountered, the Cult of Light chose to seek peaceful contact with other species and share technology. This group was believed to be the first Charons to develop hyperdrive technology, shortly after the Battle of Endor. With this technology, the members of the Cult of Light hoped to follow their Illuminated One to another galaxy, escaping the black holes of Otherspace. (UANT)

Cult of M'dweshuu
This ancient Nikto brotherhood was formed shortly after the Nikto race discovered the existence of the M'dweshuu Nova, well before the formation of the Old Republic. Many Nikto believed that the powerful ability of the Nova to affect life on Kintan was worthy of admiration, and developed a cult formed on the basis that they were as powerful as the Nova. The Cult rose quickly to power, and controlled much of the planet in the years leading up to the arrival of the Hutts in the Si'Klaata Cluster. With the arrival of the Hutts, the Cult lost much of its control, and was thought to have been disbanded. However, some 21,000 years later, the Cult re-emerged, and once again gained the support of the Nikto people. The Cult rose quickly, and Churabba the Hutt was forced to take military actions against the Cult to ensure her control. She bombed the Cult's headquarters, killing many of its leaders and leaving it to die. Much of this battle went unnoticed by the Old Republic, which was deep in the throes of the Sith War. It was believed that remnants of the Cult survived until the Clone Wars, hoping once again to rally the Nikto against their Hutt masters. (GG12, GORW)

Cult of the Krayt
This band of cultists established a lair in the caverns outside Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. The main chamber of their lair was dominated by the skull of a krayt dragon, in front of which roared a huge fire. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the entire cult was executed in their lair. Rumors held that an Imperial spy who was trying to infiltrate Jabba the Hutt's operations was the killer. The spy was later revealed to have been former Imperial Navy Chief Bast, who had taken on the role of Imperial spy in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. (SWGAL)

Cult of the Power Droids
This quasi-religious cult sprang up in the wake of the Battle of Endor, when a group of droid-rights supporters discovered that many GNK-series power droids had developed a rudimentary form of communication. These droids supposedly began working in pairs, moving among the organic beings in their vicinity and asking for donations to their religion.

The language formed by these supposedly intelligent power droids became known as Gonkian, after the most basic "word" in their vocabulary. (GPB)

Cult of Those Who Redeem
This brotherhood was formed on the planet Merisee, in the wake of the Jedi victory over the Loag during the Old Republic. The Cult was a secretive organization which vowed to help others and remove evil from the planet, and swore to uphold the Jedi Code to the best of their ability. They also protected Merisee against the possible re-appearance of the Loag, and worked hard to ferret out an Loag survivors and eliminate them. (PG3, OE)

Cult of Varn
This was the term used to describe the fanaticism that formed on the planet Kamar, during the height of the New Order, after Han Solo and Chewbacca began playing the holodocumentary Varn, World of Water for the native Kamarians. The depictions of a world that was covered with water took on a religious meaning for the Kamarians, whose homeworld was covered with arid deserts. When Solo tried to show another holovid, the Kamarians rose up and tried to kill him. Although Solo escaped, the Cult of Varn never forgot him or Varn, World of Water. The Cult grew slowly, but it eventually established chapters on Calamari, Bengat, and even Varn. (NECH)

Cultivation
This was the term used by agents of the Internal Affairs division of the Imperial Security Bureau to describe the technique in which an individual under investigation was allowed to continue their activities unhindered, in the hopes of later catching them in the act of something bigger. (ISB)

Cultural Awareness Document
This document was produced by the Caarimon Ministry of Conservation, and was distributed to those non-Caarite individuals who arrived at the city of Joventusek. It laid out the basic laws of environmental conservation that were observed on Caarimon, explaining in no uncertain terms that any transgression that threatened the natural ecosystem of the planet's surface would be sternly punished. (MCT3)

Culture
This was one of the four statues that graced the arrival halls of Coruscant's primary spaceport, during the years following the Swarm War. The abstract statues represented the four key tenets of the Galactic Alliance government: prosperity, progress, culture, and peace. (LF5)

Culu, Shoaneb
A blind, humanoid of the Miraluka race, Shoaneb discovered that her race's innate abilities with the Force were quite strong within herself. Against her parents' wishes, she decided to leave her homeworld of Alpherides and seek out training with the Jedi Knights. The journey was hard, as the Force changed on every world she encountered, forcing her to relearn all the skills she had mastered on Alpherides. After a year or so, Shoaneb landed on Ossus, and was apprenticed to the Jedi Master Vodo-Siosk Baas. Baas felt that her insatiable desire to learn more about the Force and the Jedi was really a desire for power, but soon realized that she was extremely curious. However, despite her sensitivity to the Force, Shoaneb struggled to master the basic techniques of controlling it and using it. Lightsaber construction came particularly hard for her, as well as combat. While this might have driven off other students, Shoaneb continued to train, and eventually attained the rank of Jedi Knight. During her studies, which lasted much longer than most of her peers, Shoanbed learned a great deal about the Jedi Prophecies. She attended the Jedi Assembly on Deneba to discuss the Krath. She was killed in the Cron System, when Aleema tried to defeat the Jedi Knights by ripping the core from a Cron star. (FNU, DLS, TOJC)

CuMil
This was the designation of the Cularin Militia's secret technology branch, which was charged with developing the next generation of military equipment, such as the gasmasker. (LFCW)

Cundertol, Molierre
This Bakuran Senator served on the New Republic's Defense Council during the Yevethan Purge. He was strongly xenophobic, but hid it well during Senate and Council sessions. However, Cundertol was also prone to drunken stupors, consuming great quantities of Doan wine when he couldn't handle Senatorial pressures. He detested Etahn A'baht, and once referred to the commander of the Fifth Battle Group as General "Eating-A-Boat." Note that this jibe only works if one of the following is true: the Basic language is very close to the English language, or "eating a boat" is an English translation of a Basic joke. Many years later, Cundertol was elected to serve as Bakura's Prime Minister. It was shortly after this that he discovered the entechment process of the Ssi-ruuvi people had been modified to allow for longer life. Seeing an opportunity to make himself virtually immortal, Cundertol agreed to cede control of Bakura to the Ssi-ruuvi leader, E'thinaa. Their elaborate plan, conceived shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, called for Cundertol to be enteched and his life energy stored in a human-replica droid's brain. Cundertol himself embezzled millions of credits from the Bakuran treasury to fund the creation of his droid body. In order to ensure the Bakuran people would believe their scheme, the Ssi-ruuk arranged for a group of P'w'ecks to pose as a "newly-liberated" race that defeated their Ssi-ruuk masters. Cundertol would then be paid a huge sum of credits once Bakura was turned over to the Ssi-ruuk. In order to complete his entechment, Cundertol arranged to have himself kidnapped, using mercenaries posing as members of the Freedom movement to transport him to Lwhekk and back. Note that Star Wars Insider, issue 75, indicates that Cundertol traveled to Onadax for the procedure. His plan might have succeeded, if Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo hadn't arrived at Bakura just before the "consecration" of the planet by the Keeramak. They discovered Cundertol's plans and exposed him as a traitor to Bakura, when he didn't die in an explosion set off by Blaine Harris. He was forced to flee Bakura with the lifeless body of the Keeramak, and he limped back to the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium. He tried to negotiate with the Ssi-ruuk, explaining that Bakura had been consecrated and could be attacked by the Ssi-ruuvi armed forces. E'thinaa, however, simply saw that Cundertol had failed to deliver Bakura into their hands. In a startling turn of events, Cundertol saw that E'thinaa was actually a disguised Yuuzhan Vong invader. E'thinaa's guards then sliced Cundertol's droid apart with amphistaffs, smashing his entechment container and ending his life. (SOL, FH2, SWI75)

Cuor
This Brosin word described the single braid of shoulder-lengthhair worn by most Brosin females. (AIR)

Cu-pa
This brightly-colored beast was a distant cousin of the tauntaun, but had evolved as a warm-weather creature. There were found on the planet Nam Chorios, where they were used with limited success as mounts by the Therans and Oldtimers. Their mental capacity was vastly inferior to that of a tauntaun, which was not very bright to begin with. The coloration of the cu-pa ranges from pink and pale blue to tan and golden, and many have combinations of these colors. (POT)

Cupads-u kwa-essen?
This Snivvian question literally meant "What do you do for a living?" (HNN5)

Cuplatt, Felben
This employee of Cosmohaul Shipping was a staff aide to Vice President Crizby Rumbo. It was Cuplatt who monitored the loss of cargoes to pirates. Cosmohaul had been receiving escorts from the New Republic, since many of the attacks on Cosmohaul ships were waylayed by supposed Imperial agents. The New Republic was forced to withdraw its escorts to shore up defenses on military fronts, and Cuplatt was left with the task of finding mercenaries to escort the cargo ships and ambush the pirates. (SWJ9)

Cupric Islands
This chain of islands, located on the planet Sriluur, was a major agricultural center of the Weequay race. (GG12)

Curamalle
This capital city of the planet Corulag was the site of an Academy satellite school. (SWJ6)

Curat Commercial Center
This corporate office building, distinguished by its octagonal cylinder shape, was located near Monument Plaza, on the planet Coruscant, during the years following the Swarm War. (LF9)

Curbaq Plaza
This open plaza was located in Galactic City, on the planet Coruscant, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (RC66)

Curbwalk
This was the term used to describe any walkway that was located along a street or thoroughfare that was used by vehicular traffic. Curbwalks were little more than duracrete or permacrete structures that forced pedestrians to walk across them. (CN1)

Curdik
This Whiphid swordsbeing was born mute, on the planet Toola, and learned to communicate via a datapad and his weapons. During the early years of the New Order, he took a job working as a scout for off-world hunters, and eventually left Toola to see the galaxy. He eventually landed on the planet Zuliria, and was hired by the Arcona Ther-das to join the Zulirian Swordmasters. (AIR)

Cur'eta
This Mando'a word indicated the number 40, when translated into Basic. (OWS)

Curi
This Radnoran female and her brother, Galen, were involved in research to produce a number of weapons of mass-destruction, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Galen was the scientist, while Curio handled the financial aspects of their business. It was Curi who refused to sell their discoveries to Dol Heep and the Avoni, despite an agreement already being in place. This angered Dol Heep and caused a rift between Curi and Galen, especially when Galen began working behind Curi's back to complete the deal. While Galen worked to coordinate the evacuation of Tacto and Aubendo, Curi struggled to find a cure for the plague that struck Aubendo. When the connection between the plague and the Avoni plans to invade Radnor and take control of the planet was made by the Jedi Knights who were on Radnor to assist with the evacuation, Curi confronted her brother and blamed him for the situation. She held him at gunpoint, threatening to kill him, until security forces arrived to take him into custody. (JQ1)

Curich Engineering
This small starship component manufacturer built starfighter modification packages, such as the maneuvering fin that was often added to the Kuat Systems Engineering CloakShape fighter. It was one of the subsidiaries of Santhe/Sienar Technologies. (DESB, ML)

Curiosity
This ship was known to be owned by a criminal, during the era of the New Order, although Imperial authorities could never identify the owner or capture the ship. (GG2)

Curlin
This independent scout and tracker made no bones about the fact that he enjoyed discovering new worlds in order to make money. (GG8)

Curlnose
This was a species of herding beast that was native to the planet Sullust. (MBS)

Curovao
This was one of the many large cities found on the planet Brentaal. It was named for the Curovao family that originally founded the city, and controlled much of its business during the last years of the Old Republic. (GCG)

Curovao ImpEx
This vast import-export business was owned by the Curovao family, and was based in the city of Curovao, on the planet Brentaal, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Curovao ImpEx specialized in the transportation of military commodities, from rations and uniforms to exotic weapons and experimental technologies. Because of this latter aspect, Curovao ImpEx found itself the target of civil rights activitists during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, forcing corporate executives to hire additional security forces to maintain their operations. The Brentaal Dissidents League went so far as to claim that Curovao ImpEx was profiting from the exploitation of natural resources on underdeveloped worlds, and would crush any opposition that might threaten its profits. (GCG)

Curovao-Simo, Aladaire
This man, a member of Brentaal's Curovao family, served as the spokesprex for Curovao ImpEx during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (GCG)

Currahen Crossroad
This was the name of a small town, located on the planet Garos IV, at the crossroads of two major highways. (SWJ2)

Current Filter
This part of a propulsion system was necessary to monitor the flow of power from a generator to the drive system itself. The current filter ensured that the power being sent to the drive system was properly regulated, so that neither too much or too little power was used. The current filter also regulated power spikes and "dirty" power from incorrect frequencies. (RF1)

Current Terms and Conditions
This pamphlet was continually updated by the information libraries on Obroa-skai. It details the rules and regulations that deal with obtaining information from the libraries. (SOL)

Curriculum Committee
This was the body that established the set of courses and fields of study that were offered at the University of Rudrig. (HSL)

Currsk
This Trandoshan bounty hunter and his brother, Keerag, were hired to kill Deggar Feps, after the scout angered Sottos the Hutt, during the early years of the New Order. They were dispatched as a contingency plan, to cover the activities of the spy droid NEK-01 in case it failed. Neither party knew about the other, so the Hutts could hedge their bets on the capture of Feps. Currsk was the more physical of the pair, and often fought with a virbo-axe instead of a blaster. Because Feps was able to escape, the Trandoshans failed to collect their bounty. (WOTC)

Curse of Qalydon, The
This was a term used by members of the more modern Sith to describe the New Sith Wars. These Sith believed that the series of conflicts that ended with the Battle of Ruusan were among the bloodiest and costliest battles ever waged against the Jedi Knights and the Old Republic. (OWS)

Curse of Sycorax
This ancient curse could be revisited upon the modern natives of the planet Necropolis if certain traditions were not adhered to by them. The Master of Cerements was reponsible for ensuring the curse was never invoked. The curse stems from the ancient witch, Sycorax, who claimed she could bring the dead back to life. When the ancient natives of Necropolis believed she was a fake, they killed her own son and demanded that she bring him back to life as proof. Sycorax died of a broken heart, but not before she leveled the curse on the planet's inhabitants. The Curse of Sycorax states that, should the natives of Necropolis ever ignore their dead, the dead would rise up and take control of the planet. The curse suposedly knows no boundaries, and could engulf the entire planet. Doctor Evazan used the legendary curse to hide his experiments in reanimating the dead. The bodies he successfully reanimated added to Pylum's fear that the curse was being breached. (GOF2)

Curse of the Jindas, The
This was the Basic translation of the term used by the Ewoks to describe the fact that the Jindas of the Forest Moon of Endor had a very poor sense of direction, which was only exascerbated by the Jindas' poor short-term memories. (OWS)

Cursed Palace of Zabba Two
The legend of this mysterious castle was popular fodder in the tapcafes of the galaxy. (DW)

Curved
This was the alias used by Jaina Solo and Jagged Fel to describe Lina Zev, the woman who served as Jaina's double whenever the pair needed to spend some quality time alone, out of the view of the media that stalked their every move. Zev usually accompanied Karn Valanti, who served as Jag's double, and was known as Carved. (FJ2)

Cus, Eedund
This Chevin served as Lobar Aybock's personal trainer during his shockboxing career on Reuss VIII, during the height of the New Order. Eedund Cus was known as one of the Outer Rim's best trainers, and he hated politics of any kind. He often referred to himself as "an unrepentent Separatist" when talking to Aybock, although the younger man had no idea what he was talking about. It was Cus who discovered Aybock's fighting skills, and purchased his rights as a slave in order to begin his training. He then set the Calian free, and also taught him the basics of life. After getting stranded on Reuss VIII, Cus heard from Resik that Aybock's career hinged on the contract he had signed. Torel Vorne had added specific details about Aybock's potential death into the fine print, including the fact that no death benefits would be paid to Cus until Aybock's cadaver was delivered to Vorne himself. Just before a scheduled bout against Tull Raine during the early years of theNnew Republic, Cus and Aybock, along with their assistant, Stitchy, were approached by Bren Derlin. (OWS)

Cusk
This was one of the more common Kel Dor surnames. Its meaning translated into Basic as "woodworker". (GCG)

Custard Bread
This was a dense, rich snack bread that was once popular on the planet Alderaan. (RF2)

Custom Cargo Hauler
A 79.3-meter-long transport ship designed for a crew of 2 pilots and 2 gunners, the Custom was produced by TaggeoCo's Mobquet division as a way to get into the starship production business. This ship could carry up to 700 metric tons of cargo and up to eight passengers, and was easily customized to various cargo configurations. Early models were armed with a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons, while later versions were armed with two medium turbolasers. (DESB, PP)

Custom Stop, The
Located in the city of Vakeyya on Socorro, this establishment was one of the most popular restaurants and casinos on the planet. The facade of the building and the front offices were maintained to give the casual observer the impression of a real customs office, but regular and invited guests knew that the real entrance was "just down the hall." It was owned and operated by Hhalyia Ahsane during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (BSS)

Customs Bureau
This branch of the Old Republic monitored and enforced the laws and regulations that governed interstellar commerce in the galaxy. (RCTC)

Customs Red Alert
This was the New Republic's term for an incoming shipment of illegal and dangerous cargo. (SOP)

Cuth
The meaning of this archaic Zabrak surname was lost over time. (GCG)

Cuthallox
This former Jedi student was apprenticed to Blendri, during the years leading up to the First Great Schism. They disappeared from the Jedi Order with Jedi Master Jook-jook H'broozin, and it was later learned that the three Jedi had abandoned the Jedi Order and joined the dark-side forces led by Xendor. Danzigorro Potts caught up with them on Columus during the First Great Schism, and he managed to defeat both of them in combat. However, Potts himself was mortally wounded in the fighting, but managed to survive long enough to leave behind a record of his experiences. (EGF)

Cuthas, Naroon
This dark-skinned human, noticeable by his long hair and moustaches, was Jabba the Hutt's majordomo before Bib Fortuna acquired the position. Note that The Essential Guide to Characters says that Jabba killed Cuthas when his usefulness wore out. However, Tales from Jabba's Palace indicates that the aging Cuthas was demoted, and became Jabba's personal talent scout. He discovered the Max Rebo Band one night in Mos Eisley. (TJP, EGC)

Cuthbern
This moon was used as a factory site for several weapons manufacturers during the early years of the New Order, and was noted for the exceptionally high quality weapons that came from its facilities. The Empire annexed the moon in order to use it for their own manufacturing, primarily for the StarAnvil heavy blaster rifle. In the wake of an Alliance mission to destroy the facility, Cuthbern was abandoned and its facilities were left to deteriorate. (AEG)

CUTH-BRT-92-X3
This BRT-series administrative computer was installed in Montrol City, on Gandle Ott after being salvaged from a warehouse on Brentaal. Known as Cuthbert, this droid's programming was altered by the Empire before being installed in Montrol City, allowing Moff Kentor Sarne to have direct access of Cuthbert's command core. Cuthbert resented being altered in this way, but could do nothing but obey the commands. Sarne also lifted many of Cuthbert's inhibiting routines, allowing the computer to work with full autonomy within Gandle Ott's network. These additional modifications were eventually discovered by the crew of the FarStar, and Cuthbert was taken offline for reprogramming. (DARK)

Cuthus
This was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)

Cuthus, Naroon
see Cuthas, Naroon (TJP)

Cuticulin
This was the organic material which formed the exoskeleton of the Kamarian race. It was strong enough to act as body armor, and also served to hold water in during extended periods in the desert. (AE)

Cutlass
This Imperial Patrol Craft survived the fall of Emperor Palpatine and remained near the planet Sev Tok. It intercepted the Argent Lady after Xalto Sneerzick's emancipation virus went amok among some R5 droids. The captain of the Cutlass figured it was an unarmed cargo vessel, despite the fact that the crew was seven people short due to a logistical problem. The Cutlass's crew boarded the Argent Lady, but the freelance mercenaries hired by Felben Cuplatt managed to overtake them and escape with the Argent Lady intact. (SWJ9)

Cutlass-9
This starship was developed by SoroSuub during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was the last in a series of production runs that were meant to provide SoroSuub with a fleet of ships it could use for its own purposes. The Cutlass series of patrol fighters was originally produced solely for SoroSuub's use. However, the Cutlass-9 was popular enough that SoroSuub decided to market it to the rest of the galaxy as well. The Cutlass-9 was marketed to other non-human races, in an attempt to gain a profit from the growing pro-human movement in the galactic government. Sales only increased when Sullust and SoroSuub joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

Measuring twelve meters in length, the Cutlass-9 was designed as a patrol fighter. The Cutlass-9's shape resembled the skull of a bird of prey, with a sloping nose and a pair of jaw-shaped wings at each side. A pair of laser cannons were mounted alongside the cockpit, and a proton torpedo launcher was situated on the nose. Propulsion was provided by a Class 2 hyperdrive and an pair of sublight engines mounted at the rear of the main fuselage. However, it was a lightly-shielded for a fighter craft in its stock form, which meant that many buyers upgraded the shields as an option.

In the wake of the Clone Wars, the Cutlass-9 was deemed to be outdated, and production was dropped to minimal levels. When SoroSuub began supporting the Alliance, production stopped all together, as the corporation focused on capital ship production instead. (OWS, NEGV, SSOG)

Cutlass-class Corvette
This corvette was produced for the Imperial Remnant, during the years following the Swarm War. (LF9)

Cutlass-class Freighter
This type of freighter was produced during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (LF2)

Cutlass-class Patrol Fighter
This series of starships was produced by the SoroSuub Corporation, during the final decades of the Old Republic. The first eight versions of the Cutlass series fighter were produced solely for corporate use, and served to protect SoroSuub assets as well as the planet Sullust and its surrounding star system. The ninth and final ship in the series, known as the Cutlass-9, was popular enough to be sold to the rest of the galaxy. In the wake of the Clone Wars, however, production on the Cutlass-class fighters came to a halt after SoroSuub executives voted to join the Empire. (SSOG)

Cutter, Hugo
A member of the Red Moons mercenary unit, Cutter was a former student at the prestigious Imperial Engineering Academy. Recognizable by his thin build and unruly red hair, Hugo was expelled from the school because of his fascination with blowing things up, rather than creating them. His parents were part of the Imperial nobility, and they tried to reduce the embarrassment of having their son expelled by locking him up in an attic. Cutter eventually escaped, and joined the Alliance. He used his demolitions skills - which were ad-hoc and spur-of-the-moment at best - for the Alliance, and met Andrephan Stormcaller. Stormcaller recognized the unique potential of Cutter, and recruited him to join the Red Moons. He was part of the team sent to Gabredor III to rescue the children of the Cantras Gola ambassador from the Karazak Slavers Guild. A high-ranking New Republic general once said that "Hugo Cutter is best described as a high-yield bomb looking for a target without a guidance system." (SWJ3, SWJ8, TFE)

Cutter, Mendel
This man was a member of the Dread Pirates during the early years of the New Order. A former employee of Industrial Automaton, he was highly skilled in the construction and programming of droids. Mendel owned the pirate ship Rusted Cutlass, and was believed to have retired to Zirtran's Anchor and attached the ship to the space station. However, after the station mysteriously jumped into hyperspace and reappeared in the Phosphura Belt Nebula, both the Rusted Cutlass and Mendel Cutter were gone. Note that Live Action Adventures claims Cutter was a member of the Phosphura Belt Pirates during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ5, LAA)

Cutter's Way
This Lantillian short hauler was modified by its original owner, from a pleasure ship to a freighter. One of the modifications was the addition of a power flux surger hard-wired into the system, which can provide on-demand power for shields and weapons. This additional power pushes these systems well beyond their normal rating without much overall degradation. (SWJ9)

This was a form of inexpensive wine which was produced on the planet Ando during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (PH)

Cutup
This was one of the relatively green clone troopers who was stationed at the Republic base on the moon that orbited the planet Rishi, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Cutup and his fellow troopers were charged with monitoring for any Separatist activity that might be meant for an attack on the planet Kamino. To while away the time, Cutup often arm-wrestled with Hevy. Cutup was one of a handful of clone troopers who survived the commando droid ambush that killed Sergeant O'Niner, but he was killed by a Rishi eel before the group could reach safety. (CWTV05)

Cut-Up-People

Cuvacian
This was an alien race with an unusual language. (GFT)

Cuvil
This was the alias adopted by the ARC Trooper known as Sull, during the time he spent on the planet Gaftikar, at the height of the Clone Wars. Sull's original mission was to infiltrate the city of Eyat and obtain schematics and details maps for the Grand Army of the Republic, which was allied with the Marits. When Sull defected and was later captured, Cuvil suddenly stopped showing up for work, which raised the ire of his employers. (RCTC)

Cuvin, Pir
This Umbaran served as one of Ghez Hokan's Lieutenants, on the planet Qiilura, during the last years of the Old Republic. When Cuvin suddenly came up missing, Hokan assumed that he had deserted the police force and had run to the Republic's forces on Qiilura. Hokan ordered his troops to capture Cuvin on sight, and bring him in for interrogation. After his capture, Cuvin was summarily executed for his betrayal. (RCHC)

Cuy ogir'olar
This Mando'a phrase meant "It's neither here nor there" or "It's irrelevant," when translated into Basic. Depending on the mood of the speaker, this phrase could be used as part of idle banter, or it could be a threat to warn an individual about asking the same question again and again. (OWS)

Cuyan
This Mando'a word meant "survivor," when translated into Basic. (OWS)

Cuyir
This was the Mando'a verb for "to be" or "to exist." In many dialects of the Mandalorian language, cuyir was dropped from a sentence altogether, and word order determined the exact form of the verb that was inferred. (OWS)

Cuy'val Dar
This Mandalorian phrase translated into Basic as "those who no longer exist." This phrase was sometimes spelled Cuy'vul Dar. (SWI84, RCHC, RCTZ)

Cuy'val Dar
This was the name used by Jango Fett to describe his group of hand-picked combat instructors, during the period of time he spent as a Mandalorian soldier. The name Cuy'val Dar came from the Mandalorian phrase for "those who no longer exist." When Fett agreed to become the genetic tempalte for the clone troopers who were created for the Galactic Republic on Kamino, he formed the Cuy'val Dar from seventy-five Mandalorian mercenaries who agreed to leave their existing lives and travel to Kamino in secret. Another twenty-fire soldiers were hired by Jango Fett to help the Mandalorians train clone commandos and provide combat training for the rest of the Grand Army of the Republic. As the Clone Wars ground on, many members of the Cuy'val Dar decided that they would join Kal Skirata's band of Mandalorians who planned to defect from the GAR and establish a way for clone troopers to live out normal lives after the war. (SWI84, RCHC, RCTZ, RC66)

Cuy'vul Dar
This was an alternate spelling of the Mandalorian phrase Cuy'val Dar. (RCHC)

CX-3.1
This holographic recording system was developed by Corellidyne Visuals, and was capable of acquiring data at more than 1,000 times the rate of a standard holorecorder. This allowed the CX-3.1 to obtain and reproduce a perfect, three-dimensional image of whatever it could see. These devices were used in conjunction with the CP-3.3 hologram projector in the formation of the CQ-3.9X image disguiser. The CX-3.1 was used to acquire the holographic image of what the user wanted to look like, and the data was fed to the CP-3.3 projector. (EGW)

(DSTR)

Cyanoberry
Named for the blue-colored fruit it produced, this plant was native to the planet Dagobah. (WSW)

Cyanogen
This dense, yellowish gas was deadly to most species which survived in oxygen atmospheres. Certain creatures, such as the Celegians, managed to live in cyanogen-based atmospheres, but were unable to survive in oxygen. (FOSE, SWDB)

Cyanoxis
This was the brand name of Toxico's chemical known as D-587, developed to eliminate conduit worms in the areas where they lived. (HNN5)

Cyber Reaction System
This form of cybernetic implant, developed more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, actually supplanted a being's own central nervous system. This allowed nerve impulses to travel faster and farther along the system, which improved reaction time while also improving fine motor control. This, in turn, gave a being increasing accuracy and dexterity. (KOTOR)

Cyberbrain
This was a generic term used to describe any artificially-intelligent computer system that was used to monitor the operations of complex processes, such as water processing or waste management. (LF9)

Cyberfuse
This was a small device that used minimal computer programming to anticipate power surges and shut down electrical current to a given circuit, thus preventing starship components from being damaged by excessive energy from the power core. (DA)

Cyberlock
This was a form of computer-monitored lock that was often used on detention cells. (JS)

Cybernetic Bronchitis
This was a slang term used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe Darth Vader. (GG9)

Cybernetic Overseer
This was a generic term used to describe any computer system that was programmed to handle large-scale tasks, such as moving product along assembly lines or guiding starships through spacelanes. The use of cybernetic overseers helped eliminate the operator errors that occurred when organic beings became tired or were not focused on the task at hand. (MF)

Cybernetic Psychosis
This was the medical term used to describe the insanity that was often experienced by users of cybernetic implants or borg constructs. Essentially, the direct connection from the living brain to a computer system drove the cyborg insane over time, causing the being to lose control of the cybernetic implant as well as their own mental facilities. The onset of cybernetic psychosis was accelerated by prolonged connections to a computer system. Thus, the manufacturers of such devices recommend limited connection times. (NEGW)

Cybernetics
This was the general term used to describe the use of high technology to create duplicates of specific body parts, often limbs or eyes. The use of cybernetic replacements or prosthetics became easier as the technology behind droids continued to advance, and continued as medical advancement allowed for better integration of technology and the nervous system of sentient beings. The use of cybernetics allowed beings to overcome otherwise debilitating injuries, such as the loss of a limb or the eyes or ears, or diseases that ravaged these parts of the body. In most cases, the cybernetic replacement was virtually indistinguishable from the original, and many medical practitioners did their best to replicate pore structure and even fingerprints, where possible.

Over time, the use of cybernetic prosthetics reached the criminal underworld, and many bounty hunters and other hired guns had various body parts replaced to make them stronger or more capable of capturing a target. Military applications were also common, and many soldiers who were injured in battle were later fited with cybernetic replacements.

The use of cybernetics was believed to affect how an individual communicated with the Force, and for this reason, very few Jedi ever accepted a cybernetic replacement for a lost limb. In those beings who were not Force-sensitive, cybernetic prosthetics were often cited as causing an individual to retreat from their organic self, and become more machine-like, a condition that became known as cybernetic psychosis.. (CFG, NEGW, LF7)

Cyberostasis
This was a state that a droid could be forced into, as a result of a traumatic experience. It was essentially a protective reflex that was coded into the droid's core programming, and shut the droid's systems completely down. Cyberostasis could be activated due to a number of experiences. However, if a droid was unable to anticipate the trauma, the cyberostasis system would not be activated. In these situations, a droid remained active during the trauma, resulting strange and unusual behaviors. (SWI64)

Cyberostatis
This was a condition in which a droid automatically shut down due to some trauma it experienced. (HSE)

Cyberpilot
This was the generic term used to describe any automaton programmed to control a vehicle or starship. (HSL)

Cyber-psychosis

Cybloc
This huge gas giant had several moons, many of which were habitable. It orbits the star Erg Es 992. (POT)

Cybloc XII
This twelfth moon of the planet Cybloc was the site of a New Republic Navy fleet base. Much of the personnel and native life was killed there when Dzym and Seti Ashgad released the Death Seed plague on the Meridian Sector. The moon's rotational period very nearly matched that of Cybloc itself, resulting in a day-night cycle which was extremely long. (POT)

Cyborg
This was the term used to describe any organic being who had a portion of their body replaced with cybernetic implants. The amount of replacement depended on the situation, from those beings who had severed limbs replaced with prostheses, to those like Darth Vader or General Grievous who had large percentages of their bodies replaced. There were also those symbiont cyborgs that were formed from implanting a living intelligence into a droid body. (NEGD)

Cyborg Operations
A division of Jabba the Hutt's crime organization on Tatooine, it was run by Eve-Ninedenine (EV-9D9). Its mission was to program the various droids working for Jabba by any means possible. (E6)

Cyborrea
This planet was the homeworld of the Cyborrean race, and was known for its Nek Battle Dogs. (DE1, DESB, MBC)

Cyborrean
This bellicose species was native to the planet Cyborrea. They were a bellicose people, and were almost always at war with each other. When not engaged in battle, they hunted the vicious creatures of their planet to keep their skills sharp. (MBC)

Cyborrean Battle Dog
A vicious, dog-sized creature bred on the planet Cyborrea, Cyborrean battle dogs were most often made available for sale on the black market. Also known as neks, these beasts were fitted with armor and cyborg implants, and had stimulators implanted into their brains to enhance their attack responses. (DE1, DESB)

Cyborrean Rabies
This infectious disease was believed to have originated on Cyborrea. During the height of the New Order, many sentient, non-human beings were detained by Imperial forces on the suspicion that they were infected with Cyborrean rabies, although these charges often proved false, little more than a way to unnecessarily detain a member of an alien species. (WOTC)

Cybot
This was a term used to describe any automaton which had a humanoid appearance and mannerisms. (E1A14)

Cybot Galactica
Manufacturers of the popular 3PO series of protocol droids, Cybot Galactica was one of the original Signatory Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. (SWSB, CSA)

Del played sabacc with Lob Doluff and Lando Calrissian in the Oseon System, during the years prior to the Battle of Yavin, after Lando returned from the Rafa System with the last cargo of life-crystals. (LCF)

Cycle Wave Ripper
This unusual device was used to increase the explosive capability of a detonation weapon, by adding minute amounts of secondary explosives at short intervals to create a cycle of explosive waves. These devices were attached to a main explosive device, such as a multi-detonator, and were ejected during the initial explosion. As the main explosion tore through an area, it set off the additional explosives in the cycle wave ripper, causing further - and more extensive - damage. (CVD)

Cyclea Station
This outpost, located on the planet Somavva, was a haven for free-traders and independent shippers. (SWJ13)

This small, flying insect was native to the planet Thisspias. It was considered a pest, and often moved about in small swarms, attacking warm-blooded creatures with their stinging bites. (CVD)

Cygnus 5
This short-range transport vessel was manufactured by Cygnus Spaceworks during the height of the New Order. (A)

Cygnus B
This planet was known for the unusual algae which grew in its oceans. This algae, which formed into huge beds of green, was known to have a minimal level of sentience. (PM16)

Cygnus Corporation
This was another name for the Cygnus Spaceworks corporation. (XWP)

Cygnus Spaceworks
Manufacturers of Lambda-class shuttles and starship components, Cygnus had strong ties to Sienar Fleet Systems and the Imperial Navy. They filled the gap in starship requirements for mobile transports and shuttles, since SFS concentrated on small starfighters and Kuat Drive Yards concentrated on capital ships. They took the original SFS Lambda-class shuttle design and created a number of variants, such as the Xg-1 StarWing gunboat and the Delta-class shuttle. Cygnus also produced a wide range of starship components, including starship reactor cores and engine systems. (XW, XWP, EGV, SWG2P)

Cyimarra
This planet was home to a wonderful natural formation known as the Crystal Spires. The planets Corellia and Corulag both sent delegates to Cyimarra to gather data on the spires, around the time of the Battle of Yavin. They hoped to recreate them on Coruscant for the Imperial Fair's Grand Display, during the New Year Fete Week celebration held shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (SWJ5, OWS)

Cyke
This was a slang term used by criminals to describe a measurement of time, often a local hour. (DSTR)

CY-M
This blaster carbine was manufactured during the height of the New Order. It was unusual in that it fired a special, ink-filled tracer round that helped the shooter find their mark. The CY-M was available with a bio-link connection, allowing the wielder to have greater control over the weapon's firing rate and power. (SWGAL)

Cynabar
This was an alias used by Platt Okeefe to prowl the newsnets during the Galactic Civil War. Her secret was discovered by Andor Javin and his V1-CH droid, after searching through hundreds of thousands of combinations of syntax, language, and grammar. The droid discovered that the word "Cynabar," when translated into Ithorian and then displayed using Huttese character system, reveals something that looks like "Plttke." Javin then put the pieces of puzzle together, noting that Cynabar and Okeefe both disappeared from Nar Shaddaa when the Empire nearly caught Cynabar on the vertical world. (SWJ8)

Cynabar's Droid Datalog
This newsnet forum was produced by the smuggler Platt Okeefe, under the pseudonym of Cynabar, to provide her fellow smugglers with information and opinion on the various automata found in the galaxy. (SWJ13)

Cynabar's InfoNet
This underground newsfeed was created by Platt Okeefe, in an effort to keep free traders and smugglers aware of the actions of the Empire and the true state of the galaxy during the height of the New Order. Access to this newsfeed was determined by Okeefe, who strived to keep out the riff-raff and allow only the most prominent of smugglers to access its information.

Many young smugglers had their careers enhanced - or destroyed - by having their names appear on the newsfeed. (SWJ3, SWJ13, OWS)

Cyndra
This female Chiss was a member of the Anti-Republic Liberation Front, during the years following the Battle of Ruusan and the Ruusan Reformations. She, like Paak, followed the orders of their leader, Hetton, and did not want to disrupt their plans when Kelad'dan arrived with a new opportunity. For many months, Cyndra and Kelad'dan had been in a romantic relationship, but that suddenly changed one day. Kelad'dan's new lover, a woman named Rainah, claimed to have knowledge of former Chancellor Tarsus Valorum's secret visit to Serenno, and had convinced Kelad'dan to argue for the group to try and assassinate Valorum. This attempt would have to be planned in just three days, and would disrupt existing plans for the upcoming Armistice Celebrations. Although Paak and Cyndra argued against him, Kelad'dan used his charisma and impassioned words to convince the other members to agree to his plan.

Using information provided by Rainah, the group rigged a series of explosives around the landing platform where Valorum was supposed to arrive. Although the explosives worked as planned, taking out the shuttle New Dawn, Valorum managed to escape when he was pulled to safety by his Jedi companion, Johun Othone. The members of the ARLF paused briefly when they realized that they were facing a Jedi Knight, and one of their members tried to escape. Kelad'dan cut him down before he could run, forcing Paak and Cyndra to abandon the mission all together.

She and Paak later caught up to Rainah, who was actually the apprentice of the only surviving Sith Lord, Darth Bane, and brought her to see Hetton. Zannah refused to be interrogated, and used the Dark Side of the Force to cause Cyndra to experience horrific visions, many of which involved Kelad'dan. In fear, Cyndra tried to scratch her own eyes out, but was unable to stop the visions from driving her mind to go insane. Cyndra's brain experienced intense seizures before her mind was destroyed, leaving her body an empty shell. (DBRT)

Cynner
This male Nautolan worked for Lestra Oxic, during the years following the Alliance-Confederation War. Cynner and Remata were ordered by Oxic to recover Tobb Jadak, after the man emerged from his coma some forty-three years after the Battle of Yavin. Their attempt to intercept him on Nar Shaddaa only spooked Jadak, and the two decided to draw their weapons in an effort bring him in. This attempt failed, and they were forced to report to Oxic without Jadak in their grasp. Oxic was able to track Jadak to Vaced, and dispatched Cynner and Remata to bring him in. Cynner discovered Flitcher Poste trying to steal the Millennium Falcon, but the young thief managed to elude their pursuit. Nevertheless, Poste's disappearance allowed Cynner and Remata to take control of the ship, but their flight away from Vaced was short-lived when the ship's computer realized that something was wrong, and overrode all controls to return to Vaced. Oxic arrived shortly afterward, in an attempt to locate Tobb Jadak and discover what linked the Millennium Falcon to a possibly vast treasure. (MF)

Cyperill
A type of tree that grows on Chad, the leaves of the cyperill appear almost like hair. (QE, GG4)

Cyphar
This planet, the primary world in the Cyphar System, was a strategically located planet in the Mid Rim. It was the target of the Confederacy of Independet States shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, as the Separatists hoped to use it as a staging area for attacking Old Republic locations throughout the Mid Rim. In order to ensure Cyphar's cooperation, the Separatists planned to dispatch the Storm Fleet to Cyphar and threaten them into agreement. Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, discovered the Separatist plans for Cyphar during a stopover at the Kronex Spaceport, and managed to delay the Storm Fleet enough to warn the Old Republic military about the impending invasion. (SS1)

Cyran
This was once of the many names given to Duros females. Among the Duros, it meant "musical". (GCG)

Cyrene Silk
This lustrous fabric was produced on Naboo, where it was used to create gowns and dressing for the planet's leaders and royalty. (CVD)

Cyrillia
This planet was known for its production of pit droids during the decades prior to the Battle of Yavin. The reptilian natives of the planet had virtually cornered the market for pit droids, producing incredibly resilient models at a cheap price. Many of their designs, including the DUM-series pit droid and the P-100 salavge droid, were produced by Serv-O-Droid. The planet was the site of a popular podracing event from 189 to 122 years before the Battle of Yavin, until the sport became more popular thorughout the galaxy. (SWDB, NEGD)

Cyrillian
This race of reptilian beings was native to the planet Cyrillia. (NEGD)

Cyrlus
This Alliance platform supply station was destroyed during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. The Cyrlus was part of a group of three platforms, including the Abrihom and the Bersabba, that were destroyed within minutes of each other, as part of an Imperial offensive meant to cripple the Alliance's supply lines. (TIE, TIEP)

Cyrospac-77
This was a model of waveskimmer produced for civilian and small military usage. This 7-meter-long craft required a pilot and gunner to operate, and was armed with a turret-mounted twin laser cannon. (HAS)

Cyrs, Jobany
This descendant of Kirr Cyrs was a native of Socorro, and was hired by the Alliance to scout the planet's suitability as a base of operations. A freelance scout by trade, Jobany was sympathetic to the Alliance's cause during the Galactic Civil War, and helped them scout many bases. However, his ancestry gave him a deep sense of nostalgia, and his scouting reports often read like travelogues. He traveled the galaxy in the modified Vangaard Pathfinder Outward Bound. (BSS)

Cyrs, Kirr
This man was one of the first beings to scout the planet Socorro. He was also the historian of the first colony established on the planet. Kirr Cyrs was generally credited with saying that all life born on Socorro eventually dies on Socorro. (BSS)

Cyru
This man worked as a security guard at the LoBue casino, on the planet Abregado-Rae, during Grand Admiral Thrawn's attempt to take control of the galaxy some five years after the Battle of Endor. (HTTE)

Cyslo
This New Republic Lieutenant and helmsman served under Admiral Areta Bell aboard the Swift Liberty, during the assault of Liinade III. (IR)

CZ
This was a wrist-mounted flame projector system produced by Czerka during the height of the New Order. Note that the Arms and Equipment Guide claims that the CZ was Czerka's only entry into the flame-thrower category, despite the description of the CZ-28. (AEG)

CZ-0R6
This was the original designation of the CZ-series administrative droid that was later known as CZ-1. (E4VG)

CZ-1
This elderly secretary droid was paired with CZ-3, until they were separated in the deserts of Tatooine. CZ-3 was captured by Jabba the Hutt's henchmen, while CZ-1 was obtained by a clan of Jawas. When he was discovered by the Jawas, CZ-1 had completely broken down, and he joints were almost permanently sand-crusted.

CZ-1 had originally been modified from the basic CZ-series design to more closely resemble the Stacchati, the species for which he originally worked. Note that the Star Wars: Episode IV Visual Guide indicates that the Jawas which captured this droid had its memory wiped clean, and its designation changed to CZ-1. Its original designation was CZ-0R6. (VD, E4VG)

CZ-12R
This was protocol droid was assigned to Cal Omas, during the period in which the New Republic regrouped on Calamari in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. (DW)

CZ-22
This battered CZ-series droid served as the controller of the spaceport on Engebo V. CZ-22's work involved customs inspections and welcoming committee. (WOA10)

CZ-22 Flametongue
This was Czerka's version of the Merr-Sonn C-22 flame carbine. (AEG)

CZ-24 Flamemaster
This was Czerka's flame rifle, built from the designs of the Merr-Sonn CR-24. (AEG)

CZ-28 Flamestrike
This was the designation of Czerka's flame cannon, produced during the early stages of the Clone Wars. It was built from the designs of Merr-Sonn's CR-28 flame cannon. (PH, AEG)

CZ-3
This Serv-O-Droid communications droid was present in Mos Eisley when Luke Skywalker sold his landspeeder to pay Han Solo for passage to Alderaan, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. CZ-3 was a white, humanoid droid that had been owned at one time by Jabba the Hutt. CZ-3 had been used to store the Hutt's accounting data, but was stolen from Jabba's townhouse by Opun Mcgrrrr. This was part of a plan that Jabba himself had devised, however, as he had placed a transceiver rig inside the droid's head that allowed him to record a great deal of Mcgrrrr's criminal doings. It was later learned that the Snivvian known as Zutton later blasted CZ-3 to bits. (CCG, SWJ11, NEGD)

CZ-4
This CZ-series droid was part of Jabba the Hutt's droid pool. (CCG7)

CZ-54
This Serv-O-Droid CZ-series droid was part of the droid pool that was maintained by the Bureau of Ships and Services during the height of the New Order. (NEGD)

Czerka 431
This was one of the many secret research facilities that were maintained by the Czerka Corporation, during the era of the Jedi Civil War. Located at the very edge of explored space, Czerka 431 was the research and development lab where juggernaut war droids were redesigned and used for modern combat. When the facility was overtaken by the Sith, lead researcher Joni Ree decided to turn her research over to the Galactic Republic, and devised a daring plan to escape with the juggernaut war droids. She also helped the Republic locate key information from Czerka Lab AB-343. (SWMW)

Czerka Arms
This large corporation manufactured a variety of hold-out blasters, flame weapons, and handheld projectile weapons. Czerka was originally founded as the Czerka Corporation, during the earliest days of the Old Republic. The corporation grew rapidly, and established a virtual monopoly on the weapons market. When the Great Sith War broke out, corporate executives decided to ally themselves with the Sith, fearing that the Old Republic would be unable to defend itself. In the wake of the defeat of the Sith, Czerka was faced with a publicity nightmare, and decided to change its name so simply Czerka Arms. During the last centuries of the Old Republic, Czerka sold its wares to any buyer with ready credits. However, during the height of the New Order, Czerka worked out an exclusive distribution deal with the Empire and was the third largest producer of weapons in the galaxy, behind only BlasTech and Merr-Sonn. With the fall of the Empire, Czerka courted the New Republic in an effort to increase their marketshare and presence in the galaxy. It grew to become the third-largest weapons manufacturer of the modern era, behind BlasTech and Merr-Sonn. (RASB, ROE, EGW, WOTC, KOTOR, NEGW)

Czerka Corporation
This large corporation manufactured a variety of hold-out blasters, flame weapons, and handheld projectile weapons. Czerka was originally founded many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. The corporation grew rapidly, and established a virtual monopoly on the weapons market. When the Great Sith War broke out, corporate executives decided to ally themselves with the Sith, fearing that the Old Republic would be unable to defend itself. (KOTOR)

Czerka Lab AB-343
This Czerka research facility was overrun by the forces of the Galactic Republic, during the years that followed the Great Sith War and the Great Hunt. While the Republic's forces occupied the facility, they were unable to discover any useful knowledge from the data they recovered until they rescued Joni Ree from the Czerka 431 facility. Joni Ree helped a Republic team break through the encrypted data and learn about Czerka's business dealings with the Sith, which earned her the attention of a Sith assassin. A group of Republic agents were able to prevent her death when they confronted the Sith at Czerka Lab AB-343 and defeated the assassin in combat. (SWMW)

Czerka Mining Corporation
This division of the Czerka Corporation was charged with acquiring the raw ores and minerals that were needed to manufacture the weaponry produced by Czerka Arms. The Czerka Mining Corporation established operations in asteroid fields across the galaxy, including a facility in the Cularin Asteroid Belt. Many of these operations were abandoned many decades before the onset of the Clone Wars, as part of a larger cost-cutting effort. (REPL)

Czethros
This tall, broad-shouldered man had close-cropped, moss-green hair. A silver cyborg implant wrapped completely around his head, and had several access ports jacked directly into his skull. The implant covered his eyes, and a single red optical laser allowed him to see. One of the more powerful lieutenants in the Black Sun organization, Czethros was imprisoned in the Kessel spice mines after being arrested by Imperial officers on Ord Mantell, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Czethros and his companion, Briff, had been trying to capture Han Solo by threatening to kill Chewbacca. Solo countered by stealing Czethros' starship and flying into several Imperial no-fly zones and committing other infractions. Han returned to Ord Mantell and rescued Chewbacca just before a squadron of stormtroopers arrested Czethros and Briff. Czethros found employment on Kessel as an assistant to Moruth Doole, and later returned to Ord Mantell upon his release. Czethros never forgot his Black Sun connections, and soon found employment with Durga the Hutt. After Durga's demise, he decided to lay low and became a respectable businessman, and was influential in the yearly planning of the Blockade Runners Derby. This served as the perfect front from which to rebuild Black Sun in his own image. It was Czethros who then arranged for Solo to act as Grand Marshall of the 93rd Derby, all the while plotting his revenge against Han. His initial plans failed, but Czethros was undaunted. He knew that he was rebuilding a criminal empire through the remnants of Black Sun, and would soon have enough resources to eliminate Solo once and for all. Czethros continued to expand his organization, learning from all of Black Sun's previous mistakes. He tried to take control of much of Cloud City's revenues, including SkyCenter Galleria, but was again foiled in his plans by Lando Calrissian and the Solo children. Sometime later, Czethros placed key Black Sun agents in high positions around the galaxy, and developed a plan which used precision communications to simultaneously activate them. On cue, they would disrupt New Republic governments and provide enough distraction for Czethros to move in and take control. First, however, Czethros tried to take over the spice mines of Kessel. His plan nearly succeeded, but the Jedi Knights Jaina Solo, Zekk, and Lowbacca managed to foil his communications plan and eliminate the threat. New Republic forces were quickly dispatched to Kessel, and Czethros was forced to flee. He was unable to get away cleanly, however, and fell into a vat of molten carbonite after tripping over a dead mine worker. His frozen form was recovered by the New Republic and taken into custody. (ROM, TCC, CCR)

Czic
This Drach'nam was one of two guards employed by Chay Praysh that were burned by Mara Jade during her first attempte to escape from Praysh's palace on Torpris. (TFNR)

CZ-series Secretary Droid
This was the designation of a series of droids manufactured by Serv-O-Droid for communications and translation during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. These humanoid automatons had large eye-like pods on their heads and boxy features, and was equipped with an array of long-range communications and encryption systems that allowed it monitor and transmit communcations from a planet's surface to a location in near orbit. The data storage system installed in the CZ-series was impressive by most standards, and was protected by a powerful firewall. The CZ-series droids were produced by Serv-O-Droid in an effort to regain market share from the Big Two, Industrial Automaton and Cybot Galactica. However, the droid's appearance tended to drive off many prospective buyers. Its insectile cranium was dominated by a piar of optical sensors that were aligned in such a way that the droid appeared to be cross-eyed, and initial models were covered with garish green-and-orange paint schemes. Many customers purchased the CZ-series based on its technical specifications, then stripped them and had them repainted white or gray, as was befitting their role in corporate or governmental offices. In addition to their communications and secretarial skills, CZ-series droids were used a couriers. By the era of the New Order, Serv-O-Droid had goen out of business, and the CZ-series was considered somewhat outdated, but those units in service remained proficient in scrambling and encrypting transmissions. Some were programmed as security or defense drones that warned their masters of imminent attacks. (CCG, CCG7, NEGD)

Czulkang Lah Pit
This was the term used to describe the small holes which appeared on the bodies of Yuuzhan Vong students who were trained by Czulkang Lah. The pits were caused by Czulkang Lah's amphistaff, which he used to lash out at students who made mistakes during his lectures. For those students who earned only a few of these pits, they became a badge of honor and respect. For those students who earned a great number of them, they became marks of shame for their ineptitude. (EL1)

Czycz, Stauz
This alien was the only member of his species to survive the Imperial destruction of his homeworld. A tall, muscular being with reddish skin and a large, triangular head and snakelike tendrils in place of hair, Stauz was a warrior who saw his family and neighbors destroyed, all so that Emperor Palpatine could make an example of them. Rather than allow his people to be completely erased, Stauz set out to exact revenge on the one being who he remembered from the Imperial assault: Darth Vader. Stauz executed Awarru Tark in battle, then had his unusual alien physiology surgically altered to resemble Tark's. He also had a force-field generator implantedin his own body, to provide an additional measure of protection. When Vader sent out the bounty on Han Solo and Leia Organa, Stauz answered the call as Tark. Rather than submit to Vader's commands, Stauz launched an attack on the Dark Lord, catching Vader off-guard and nearly defeating him aboard the Avenger. Unfortunately, Stauz was no match for the Force, and Vader's command of the situation allowed him to cleave Stauz's head from his body. (T4)
