J1
Produced by Merr-Sonn Munitions, the J1 was a holdout blaster known to many as the Happy Surprise. The weapon's name was Rodian was Kheth-saw, and it was named for the weapon's unusual configuration, which made it incredibly easy to hide. Unlike most blaster weapons which had a hand grip and a trigger, the J1 fit entirely within the palm of the hand. The barrel stuck out from between the second and third fingers, making it easy to carry in a clenched hand without arousing suspicion. The trigger was mounted at the top of the weapon, and was depressed with the thumb. (AEG)

J-3
This lightsaber combat training module was programmed into the droid designate Prototype Ten, otherwise known as PROXY, by Darth Vader, during the training of Vader's secret apprentice. Training module J-3 instructed PROXY to use its holographic projectors to assume the appearance of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, as he appeared during the Clone Wars, and to use Kenobi's techniques to train the apprentice, who was known simply as the Starkiller. PROXY used the J-3 module early in the Starkiller's training, and reused it only sparingly, hoping to catch the Starkiller off-guard when it did use it. As required by its programming, PROXY used certain training modules this way, hoping one day to finally defeat and kill the Starkiller in combat. (TFUG)

J4 and Drathan Forge were charged with ensuring that the starfighters that were part of the mission were equipped with enough missiles to destroy the strange equipment that was discovered beneath the planet's surface. However, before they could be extracted, the pair were cornered by a bogey, and then attacked by an energy spider. J4 sacrificed itself to ensure that Drathan made it back to the surface, attacking the energy spider and allowing Drathan to escape. Drathan later told Han and Leia Solo that the last image he had of J4 was of the droid being wrapped up in the legs of the energy spider and being torn to pieces. (FJ1)

J-9
This support droid was part of the technician pool that served the Galactic Republic Treasury, during the era of the Clone Wars. J-9 was one of many droids that helped solve the computer and networking problems that were experienced by treasury agents. When Besany Wennen found that she could not access her computer system, J-9 explained that a virus had been found in the system, and that firewalls ahd been put in place to isolate and remove the virus. (RC66)

J930 Dash-8
This was a model of podracer manufactured by JAK Racing. It was noted for its long, sloped engines, which utilized the Split-X technology found in Collor Pondrat engines. The cockpit of the J930 measured 3.05 meters in length, and the engines measured 9.55 meters in length. They could propel the racer at speeds approaching 785 kilometers per hour. (IG1)

J9-6
This Roche worker drone was working for the local government in Mos Eisley during the Galactic Civil War. (GG7)

J-9SB
This protocol droid was the informal ambassador of the Soco-Jarel Spaceport during the height of the New Order. Stationed within the Boliscon Towers, J-9 met with visiting VIPs and served the refreshments while they waited for their hosts to collect them. Plated with glossy-black armor, J-9 was easily distinguished from other droids in the spaceport. J-9SB also served as an undercover watchdog, continually searching for plain-clothed Imperial customs officers or police. If J-9 suspected a person of being an Imperial law enforcement agent, it immediately contacted Aquato Boliscon to report their arrival. (BSS)

J9-series Droid
Manufactured by Roche Industries, these information and protocol droids were humanoid, insectile automata with teardrop-shaped heads and skeletal bodies. Like other Roche products, the J9-series took advantage of servomotor technologies that were perfected by the Verpine, including the triangular hip joint that allowed the J9 to move about. They rivaled the 3PO series in their ability to process information, being equipped with TranLang II communications modules and Arjan II central processors. J9 units were also equipped with Torplex microwave sensors to better understand their environment. However, their mechanical appearance and "worker drone" monicker made them unattractive to most races of the galaxy, and the J9-series never became a commercial success. In fact, many experts considered the J9 to be the worst-selling protocol droid in history. Nonetheless, J9's were extremely sophisticated, and many were reprogrammed to perform a variety of duties. (GG7, TME, FTD, NEGD)

Ja
This was an area of highlands found on the planet Eriadu. (GORW)

Ja Field Septoid
This hardy insect was native to the Ja highlands of the planet Eriadu, where it managed to survive every attempt by the human population of the planet to eradicate it. The field septoid was a predatory insect known for its ability to hunt down its prey, although it was not an aggressive insect by nature. It moved about on seven legs that surrounded its main body, from which sprouted its small head and three eyestalks. Thus, the field septoid had no true "head" or "tail." It used a pair of fangs to puncture the skin or chitin of its prey, then fed on its blood until the prey died. The field septoid was not picky about its prey, and often killed livestock, earning it a designation as a pest. (GORW)

Ja Knoll
This was the highest of the hills that were found on the Ja highlands, which were located outside the city of Phelar, on the planet Eriadu. Ja Knoll was situated almost directly across from Phelar, separated by the Bay of Conquest. The bay was originally known as Ja-Phelar Bay, because of its location between Phelar and the Ja highlands. (GORW)

Jaarak
This Wookiee was accused of the murder of Rorworr, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, when a Jedi Knight discovered Rorworr's body in the Shadowlands. However, it was later revealed that Rorworr had planned to sell the Wookiees into slavery to the Czerka Corporation. Rorworr had shared his plans with Jaarak, who opposed them. Rather than allow Rorworr to complete his plans, Jaarak killed him. Jaarak was taken to trial, but Worrrozner eventually allowed him to go free, when he learned of Rorworr's true plans. (KOTOR)

Jaaruls Street
This was one the many thoroughfares located in the city of Cuipernam, on the planet Ansion. (APS)

Jabba
This as a term used by the agents of the Internal Affairs division of the Imperial Security Bureau to describe a situation in which an individual was forced to commit a crime. Once an individual was "Jabba-ed" and charged with the crime, they were given the opportunity to redeem themselves by performing certain favors for the IA agents. Quite often, these favors led the individual to unwittingly commit further crimes, thereby indebting the individual to the IA agent. (ISB)

Jabba the Hut
In the Marvel comics adaptation of Star Wars: A New Hope, Jabba resembles an Imzig or Nimbanel humanoid. Note that the word 'Hut' was spelled with just one T, making it more of a title than a description of his race. After his ship, the Voidraker, was disabled by stone mites near Orleon, Jabba had to flee into the vacuum of space in an spacesuit. In order to survive, he was allowed to come aboard the Millennium Falcon by Han Solo, on the condition that Jabba cleared Solo's debt and paid extra for the rescue in the process. Jabba agreed, but his mind was already working on a way to make the situation work to his favor. Note that this event was proven apocryphal with the release of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi., although it was entirely possible that Jabba reneged on the deal as soon as he was safe. (MC8, LTA2, MC28)

Jabba the Hutt's Palace
This was the common name given to the complex of buildings and subterranean rooms that was controlled by Jabba the Hutt. It was located in the Northern Dune Sea, on the planet Tatooine, and was situated at the end of a secluded valley. The original palace was erected by the B'omarr Monks, who built it as a peaceful sanctuary from which they could contemplate the universe. The monks built the two main aboveground structures: a nine-story tower that contained a circular stairway, and the main rotunda. The tower's stairway provided a great deal of space for the monks to wander, as they could move up and down the stairs for hours, in contemplation of the universe. The rotunda was was originally constructed as a place of worship, where the disembodied brains of enlightened monks reposed in tiers around the outer edge. Prayer banners hung from the ceiling, and the eerie silence of the brain canisters lent the rotunda a sinister feeling. A ceremonial concourse was created around the rotunda, which provided additional space for the monks to roam. It was rumored that a chamber was located deep under the ground, in which the B'omarr monks kept a collection of "regeneration gems", but the chamber was never found. For thirty-four years before Jabba took control of the palace, it was taken over by the bandit Alkhara, who renovated it to serve as the base of operations for his raiders. During Alkhara's stay, the monks were forced to retreat to the deepest levels of the palace. Jabba ousted Alkhara, and allowed the monks to roam the entire complex with freedom, as Jabba preferred the lower levels where he felt safer. It was believed that the Hutt urenovated a former B'omarr chapel to serve as his throne room. Jabba reinforced the dome of the rotunda with ditanium, and installed shielding to protect from orbital or suborbital assault. In the upper stories of the tower, Jabba installed a hyperwave transceiver and a holographic map of the galaxy, using the tower as his primary communications facility. Much of the renovations done by Jabba were performed at the direction of Derren Flet, and the palace's external structures were so large that they were visible from orbit. (IWST)

Jabba's Palace Sabacc
This variant was reportedly created by the Hutt himself, and it was used to win the servitude of a great many beings. (CCG7)

Jabbra, Allexi
This was a noted figure in Anzat history. (UANT)

Jabesq, Simon

Jabi Town
This was one of the many subdivisions of the Corellian Quarter, located in Coruscant's Galactic City, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Jabi Town was the site of the first crackdown by the Galactic Alliance Guard against people of Corellian descent, in which soldiers of the 967Commando unit and several Coruscant Defense Force anti-terrorist teams swept in under cover of darkness and arrested or detained almost the entire population. (LF2)

Jabiim
This planet was once the site of an Old Republic military base, which was later used as a staging area during the height of the Clone Wars. Once war broke out between the Republic and the Separatists, the government of Jabiim decided to ally themselves with the Separatists, and forced the Republic to abandon its base. The native Jabiimites were believed to have been supplied weapons, supplies, and funding by the Separatists, in preparation for going to war against the forces of the Republic. Many in the Republic feared that Jabiim had been bought by the Separatists, who had been working with a select few Jabiimites to take control of the planet. Thus, the Republic decided to go to war in order to liberate the planet. During the era of the Clone Wars, the surface of Jabiim was continually deluged by storms, turning much of its marshy surface to muddy swamps. This made ground battles extremely difficult. In the wake of the Clone Wars and the institution of the New Order, Jabiim was subjugated by the Empire and extensively mined for its natural resources. Years of environmental abuse turned the planet into a barren wasteland, and the locals struggled under the oppression of the Imperial yoke. Nolan Gillmunn decided to ally his band of rebels with the Alliance, until he learned that one of the Alliance representatives was Luke Skywalker, the son of Anakin Skywalker, who the Jabiimites felt betrayed them by abandoning the planet to the Separatists. (SWI68, RBJ, SWESF)

Jabiim Congress
This was the primary governmental body found on the planet Jabiim, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Long a supporter of the Republic, the Jabiim Congress became splintered after the Clone Wars were resolved neither peacefully nor quickly. (SWI68, RBJ)

Jabiimi
see Jabiimite. (RBJ)

Jabiimite
This was the human race which was native to the planet Jabiim. During the Clone Wars, the Jabiimite leaders sided with the Separatists, despite the fact that there had been an Old Republic military base on the planet for years. The Jabiimi went so far as to contract Kal Skirata and the Mandalorians about obtaining explosives to arm their local militias. When the Old Republic sent a force to liberate the planet, many Jedi Masters were killed in battle, forcing Anakin Skywalker and a group of Padawans to carry on the battle. Ultimately, the Separatist force proved too strong, and Skywalker was force to order a complete retreat. Despite the fact that they had allied themselves with the Separatists, the Jabiimites believed that the Republic had abandoned them, especially after the Separatist forces there were soon replaced with Imperial forces that virtually enslaved the population. For nearly twenty-one years, the Jabiimites were left to fend for themselves, held in thrall by the Imperial agents sent to oversee the planet. Some eight months after the Battle of Yavin, their enslavement was to have been permanent when Darth Vader arrived to ship a large percentage of the population offworld as slaves. The Jabiimi people were saved when Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa arrived on the planet, and helped the Jabiimites overthrow Governor Thorne Kraym. Although large portions of Jabiim's surfaces were bombarded with turbolaser fire, the planet was abandoned by the Empire, and the Jabiimites were freed. (SWI68, SWI69, SWESF, RCTC)

Jabitha
This was the name given by Anakin Skywalker to the huge Sekotan starship he purchased with Obi-Wan Kenobi, during their search for Vergere. They agreed to purchase the ship in order to get close to the people of Zonama Sekot and learn what happened to Vergere. Their ship was formed from fifteen seed-partners, all of which bonded to Anakin before survived the forging and annealing process before being shaped into a twenty-five-meter long craft which also had a wingspan of thirty meters. Because of the bonding with Anakin, the Jabitha was capable of incredible maneuvers while he was piloting the craft. A pair of heavily-modified Silver-class engines were mated to the organic ship to provide propulsion and approximate a Class 0.4 hyperdrive, and a shield system was added to make up for the fact that the ship lacked any form of weaponry. With this configuration, and with Anakin as its pilot, the Jabitha could attain speeds of 13,000 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. Unfortunately, Zonama Sekot came under attack by Wilhuff Tarkin at the time the Jabitha was shaped, and Anakin and Obi-Wan were unable to fully integrate themelves with the ship. The Jabitha fell sick, and when Zonama Sekot disappeared into hyperspace to escape Tarkin's assault, the Jabitha died on the planet Seline. (RP, WOTC, NEGV)

Jabitha
This young Ferroan girl was the granddaughter of the original Magister of Zonama Sekot, and greeted Anakin Skywalker when he and Obi-Wan Kenobi traveled to the planet to investigate the disappearance of Vergere. Her grandfather had created a number of holograms of her to keep him company in the Far Distance compound, while she was in Middle Distance attending school. To avoid confusion, the Magister named the holograms Wind. Jabitha was on Zonama Sekot when the planet disappeared into hyperspace, in order to avoid capture at the hands of Wilhuff Tarkin. Anakin never saw her again, but Jabitha grew up to become the Magister of Zonama Sekot. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Zonama Sekot hid itself within the Unknown Regions, and the Ferroans became isolated. Jabitha retained the memory of the Jedi, and when Luke Skywalker arrived on Zonama Sekot to ask for the planet' help, Jabitha was initially agreeable to mediate an exchange. Sekot, however, still needed proof of the true nature behind Master Skywalker's request. Sekot used Senshi and his followers to kidnap Jabitha, along with Danni Quee, Jacen Solo, and Saba Sebatyne. When the Jedi had proven that they were indeed searching for a peaceful resolution to the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, Jabitha was released and was able to return to her work for a short time. When Nom Anor tried to sabotage the planet's hyperdrive vanes in an effort to destroy it, Zonama Sekot was forced to make a blind jump into hyperspace. The resulting jump brought them close to several stars and planets, causing massive amonts of ecological damage to Zonama itself. Jabitha found herself at the mercy of the planet, traveling to remote locations at the whim of Sekot to help maintain the ecosystem. (RP, FH3, UF)

Jaboon
This large, slow-moving herbivore was native to the planet Naboo. It was a calm-natured beast, and was often domesticated by the Gungans for use as a mount. Its skin was also prized by artisans and collectors, for it was used to make beautiful leather book covers. (GF)

Jabor
This planet, located in the Mid Rim, was the site of a Separatist base, during the height of the Clone Wars. The base provided the Confederacy of Independent Systems with a constant source of information, as its personnel was formed from spies and double agents. The operations at the base were disrupted by the efforts of former Jedi Padawan Ferus Olin and Clive Flax. (LJ4)

Jabori
This was the term used to describe the inhabitants of the planet Jabor. (FJ3)

Jabot
This man worked with Dereth to con wealthy beings out of their fortunes in card games like Helcos. Both Jabot and Dereth had Traxes BioElectronics implant communicators placed in their skulls, allowing them to transmit and receive each other's thoughts. Using the implant communicators, Dereth hid behind a screen and monitored Jabot's opponents, silently sending information on the cards the opponent held and their actions during the card game. Note that the Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology indicates that this man's name was Jaboth. (GFT, EGW)

Jaccoba
This young Wookiee was a native of the Wawaatt Archipelago, on his homeworld of Kashyyyk, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When the fighting broke out across the galaxy, Jaccoba was ready to take the test that would elevate him to adulthood. While hunting with his father, Tarkov, Jaccoba's spear hit the outer shell of a Trade Federation MTT. This led Tarkov to realize that the Separatists had already landed on Kashyyyk, and were preparing to launch their invasion. He and Jaccoba rushed to the nearest city, Kahiyuk, to warn the leaders of the impending attack. It was this warning that helped the Wookiees begin their defense of their homeworld. Tarkov and Jaccoba both enlisted in the military, fighting against battle droids to defend their home. (SWDB, CWC3)

Jace
This man served the Alliance as a starfighter technician, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (LTA3, MC51)

Jace, Bror
Bror was a member of X-Wing Rogue Squadron. He was a native of the planet Thyferra, and a veteran of the Battle of Hoth, Endor, and Bakura. He was a member of the Zaltin faction of bacta producers, as a way to balance the inclusion of Erisi Dlarit to the Squadron. It was the belief of the Zaltin faction that the Empire was doomed, and that an alliance with the New Republic through Jace would be profitable. Jace was part of the mission which was sent to Noquivzor, but was ambushed by the Black Asp. His body was never recovered, and Jace was listed as missing in action. It was believed that Tycho Celchu had leaked the mission's plans to the Imperials, but it was later revealed that Celchu was not the traitor. Jace himself later reappeared, and explained that the Vratix of the Ashern faction had recalled him to help plan the overthrow of Xucphra's pro-Imperial Bacta Cartel. He assisted the Rogues in the planning for the Battle of Thyferra, and was invaluable to the infiltration unit led by Elscol Loro and Sixtus Quin. After the Rogues defeated Ysanne Isard and removed the Imperial yoke from Thyferra, Jace was appointed to create the Thfyerran Aerospace Defense Force. (XWN, WG, KT, BW)

It was capable of carrying three passengers and 50 metric tons of cargo, and was armed with a turret-mounted laser cannon. (SWJ5)

Jackpot
This modified YT-1300 freighter was one of the many vessels that were owned by the crimelord Nirama, during the final years of the Old Republic. The ship was under the command of Jander Bibbbi during this time. Shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars, the Jackpot suddenly disappeared while trying to evade a Thaereian Navy customs vessel on a supply mission. It was believed that the shadow lurkers that inhabited the Cularin Asteroid Belt were somehow repsonsible for the ship's disappearance. Bibbbi somehow survived the attack of the shadow lurkers, and was later rescued by a group of freelance operatives. Later, after the operatives were drawn into the realm of the shadow lurkers and returned, the crew of the Jackpot suddenly reappeared unharmed. (BIT2)

Jacuna
This was a small avian creature native to the planet Haruun Kal. An opportunistic scavenger, the jacuna traveled in bands of several dozen individuals, each of which was equally at home in the air, on the ground, or climbing through the trees. Despite their classification as scavengers, jacunas would eat just about anything, living or dead. (SHPT)

Jacynith
This green-skinned, female Twi'lek was one of the residents of the Enclave, the Twi'lek refuge that was established by Jedi Master Vhiin Thorla on his homeworld of Ryloth just prior to the onset of the Clone Wars. She worked at the Fungus Pit, and was one of Chieb'Kalla's closest friends. When Chieb refused to help a group of freelance agents who were on Ryloth to speak with Jedi Master Vhiin Thorla, Jacynith stepped in and agreed to take them to the hidden Jedi. She hinted that she and Master Thorla were very close, but she later revealed that the pair were actually brother and sister. Thorla was angry with Jacynith for bringing the agents to The Enclave, but Jacynith had her reasons. Besides the fact that she believed the agents were working for the general good, she also felt that Thorla's guilt over the death of his Padawan had kept him prisoner long enough. Unfortunately, Jacynith was unaware that someone had placed a tracking beacon on her body when she was at the Fungus Pit, and a group of slavers were able to track her to The Enclave. The Twi'leks and the Jedi agents were able to help Master Thorla repel the slavers, ensuring the security of The Enclave. Jacynith herself was devastated to learn that she had been the reason the slavers found The Enclave, but this wuickly turned to determination to help Thorla continue his work of rescuing Twi'lek slaves. (TS)

Jadak, Tobb
This young man was the junior member of the crew of the Stellar Envoy, working with Reeze Duurmun during the era of the Clone Wars. Jadak was a well-known swoop racer in his younger days, setting speed records until he lost the Balmorra Invitational, despite the fact that he had been favored to win the race by twenty-to-one odds. Rumors told of Jadak being in league with the Hutts, who had ordered him to lose the race or else they would kill his family. His reputation was made more infamous by other rumors that Jadak had bet on himself to lose the race, earning him a small fortune in the process. In this way, many beings living on Nar Shaddaa at the time lost huge sums of credits, many of which ended up on Jadak's bank accounts. What most beings did not know was that the idea to bet on himself had come from the Republic Group, who had learned of the schemes of the Rigorra/Groodo Family, and hoped that Jadak would join their operations as a pilot.

In the employ of the Republic Group, Jadak and Duurmun carried out many missions during the years following the Battle of Naboo. They were en route to Coruscant, and were actually inside the planetary shield, when General Grievous launched his daring mission to capture Chancellor Palpatine. Reeze and Jadak were forced to maneuver through the ships of the Open Circle Fleet, avoiding the ongoing battle in order to reach their destination at the Senate Building. They followed the dying warship Invisible Hand down to the planet's surface, in an attempt to avoid other Separatist warships. After delivering their cargo, Jadak and Reeze were forced to remain on Coruscant while Jedi Master J'oopi She' altered the ship. Before they could lift off, however, they were detained by shock troopers and Senate Security Force officers. Reeze wanted no part of the police force, and Jadak quickly readied the Stellar Envoy for takeoff. Without waiting for air traffic approval, Jadak launched the ship into the sky, hoping that the debris from the fighting over Coruscant would cover their escape. However, the ship was damaged during their flight, and power to key systems failed when they reached Nar Shaddaa. Without a way to avoid an outbound bulk freighter, Jadak and Reeze boarded an escape pod and tried to blast away. Unfortunately, the Stellar Envoy rolled just after they fired the pod's rockets, and the pod was smashed against the hull. Reeze died almost immediately in the resulting explosion, but Jadak's badly-injured body was recovered from the wreckage.

He awoke from a coma at the Aurora Medical Facility on Obroa-skai more than sixty years later, completely unaware of the galactic history that had passed him by. His doctor, Lial Sompa, began to slowly provide him with access to the HoloNet and answers about his past. The first piece of news he learned was that Reeze Duurmun did not survive the crash of the Stellar Envoy. The second was that his legs had been removed when he was first rescued from the crash, because they were too badly damaged to save. The doctors had not replaced them with cybernetic prostheses, wishing to wait and see if he would ever emerge from the coma. In addition to sixty-two years of history, Jadak was surprised to learn that the Republic Group had taken out an insurance policy in his name, which had been slowly gathering interest while he was in the coma. After his legs were replaced, Jadak learned that he was going to be released from the Aurora facility, since he had passed most of the tests that were required to discharge him. He also learned from Doctor Ril Bezant that he had only been at Aurora for forty years, and that only Doctor Sompa knew of his history before arriving at Aurora. Surreptitious investigation of Sompa's records allowed Jadak to learn that he had been stored at a public hospital on Nar Shaddaa after the crash, and this information opened up Jadak's memories of the events leading up to the crash. Since he was being discharged, Jadak decided to spend his new-found fortune searching out the Stellar Envoy and figure out why the ship had been so important to the Republic Group.

He figured that he would start where it almost ended, at Nar Shaddaa. There, with the help of Flitcher Poste, Jadak located Bammy Decree, who told him the history of the Second Chance, and explained that Rej Taunt had been incarcerated at the Carcel prison facility. Jadak, traveling with Flitcher Poste as a companion, then met with Taunt, and agreed to carry out a mission to Holess in exchange for information on the ship. The mission involved captured a Colicoid who was the star witness in a case led by Lestra Oxic, one of Taunt's rivals. True to his word, Taunt provided Jadak with the name Zenn Bien, a Sullustan who lived on New Balosar. Bien told him the story of Quip Fargil, whom she believed was now living on the planet Vaced, under the alias Vec Minim. Their visit to Vaced turned Jadak's world upside-down, when he learned that the ship he had been searching for might actually be the Millennium Falcon, and was owned by Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo. Jadak was sure that the Millennium Falcon was actually the Stellar Envoy, since the ships shared the same signs of being cobbled together from YT-1300 and YT-1300p parts.

Jadak then put plans in motion to have Poste steal the ship and take it to Lesser Vaced, while he himself posed as Quip Fargil during an interview with the Solos. He drew upon the histories he had learned from his own investigations, and put on a good impression of Fargil himself, lending enough of his own knowledge of pre-Imperial history to make things plausible. However, Han Solo's questions kept drawing him off of the script he had planned to use, especially when it came time to discuss what happened at the First Battle of Bilbringi. Although Poste was unable to steal the ship, Han welcomed "Fargil" aboard, allowing Jadak a chance to access the ship's navigational computer. When he tried to enter the code phrase he had been given decades earlier, it set off the strange device that Allana Solo had found in the main hold. This alerted the Solos to his activities, and Jadak was forced to reveal his true identity as well as that of Flitcher Poste. Jadak then told the Solos about his own history with the Stellar Envoy and his work with the Republic Group, leading up to the fateful day when he and Reeze Duurmun tried to reach Nar Shaddaa after fleeing Coruscant.

It was Allana solo who realized that they needed to return the device to its original location, and when Jadak entered the code phrase again, the Millennium Falcon blasted off for Tandun Three. There, they were joined by Lestra Oxic in one of the many ruins that were found on the planet, and the group discovered the Insignia of Unity. As the temple began to crumble around them, Oxic laid claim to the emblem, only to discover that it was a fake. Denied his prize but not defeated, Oxic offered to pay Jadak and Poste for their assistance in tracking down the real Insignia of Unity. Jadak quickly agreed, as did Poste, and they fled from the temple before it culd collapse on top of them. (MF)

Jaddyyk
This parasitic moss grows in the jungles of Kashyyyk. It grows in clumps of stringy tendrils which sprout from a tall mound-like stalk, making the plant look like a long-furred Wookiee. (TT)

Jade
This Alliance shuttle was dispatched to pick up the Bothan delegates aboard the Tal'cara, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)

Jade Moon
This was the name given to one of Loronar's largest satellites, which was the site of an Imperial special weapons platform manufacturing facility during the last years of the New Order. The facility was destroyed during the Galactic Civil War by Crix Madine and his Alliance commandos. (RSG, NEGC)

Jade Rose
A fancy flowering plant. (SE)

Jade Sabre
This custom-built and modified shuttle was designed by Luke Skywalker and given to his wife, Mara Jade, as a gift shortly after they were married. It had a shape like a pointed fish-head, with swept-back wings and flared side pods protecting its ion drives. Mara believed that Luke had the ship constructed to thank her for sacrificing the Jade's Fire on Nirauan. The Jade Sabre measured fifty meters in length, and required a pilot to operate. It could accommodate up to fifteen passengers and 100 metric tons of cargo, and was armed with four quad laser cannons and a tractor beam projector. Mara and Anakin Solo flew the ship to Dantooine, after the initial battle of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, so that Mara could get some rest. Unfortunately for all, the Vong were already on Dantooine, and they destroyed the Jade Sabre before Anakin and Mara could recover it. (VP, DTO, SOG)

Jade Shadow
This was the Horizon-class luxury yacht purchased by Lando Calrissian and presented to Mara Jade Skywalker as a gift. The ship had a number of significant modifications, including retractable AG-1G laser cannons, camouflaged HM-8 torpedo launchers, and enhanced shielding systems obtained by Talon Karrde. The stock hyperdrive was replaced with a Class 0.5 unit, and its upgraded sublight drives allowed the ship to attain speeds of 1,000 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. The name Jade Shadow was coined by Tendra Risant, and denoted the ship's nonreflective gray hull. Lando had picked out the ship because of its aft cargo bay, which was wide enough to accommodate Luke Skywalker's X-Wing fighter. Han Solo had helped get the ship spaceworthy by tweaking with the drive systems, and he also installed a long-range sensor system. Mara later installed a powerful holographic communications system aboard the ship. The Jade Shadow even had a short-range slave circuit that allowed Luke or Ben to call for the ship via remote control. The ship served as Mara's personal transport for many years, surviving the Yuuzhan Vong invasion and the Swarm War. When Mara was killed by Jacen Solo during the Second Galactic Civil War, Luke Skywalker continued to use the ship as a personal transport, as much to honor his fallen wife as to maintain the ship because of its technical and mechanical advances. In the months and years that followed, both Luke and his son, Ben, continued to feel as if some part of Mara remained aboard the ship. This became more and more obvious after Luke was exiled from the Jedi Order for a ten-year period by Chief of State Natasi Daala, following the defeat of Darth Caedus. He agreed to the exile in order to protect the Jedi, and Ben decided to come along so that they could reconnect after being apart during the Second Galactic Civil War. (BP, NJOSB, LF3, FJ1, FJ2)

Jade Simian
This seedy tavern was located within the Snakes' Den, on the planet Camden, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (CRO)

Jaded Jawa
This bar was located in the main terminal of the Kothlis Starport. One of its key features was a long, one-way pane of transparisteel that lined the outer wall, allowing patrons to see what was going on outside the bar but preventing beings from seeing inside. This made it the perfect location to spy on someone. At the height of the New Order, the Jaded Jawa was owned and operated by Dakkar. (SPG)

Jade's Fire
This starship was given to Mara Jade by her former employer, Talon Kaarde, in the years following the financial loss of the Kessel Spice Mines. Originally owned by a wealthy industrialist, Karrde demanded the ship as payment for Mara's rescue of his daughter. The Jade's Fire boasted some impressive scanners and sensors often unavailable to non-military starships. The ship was a SoroSuub Luxury 3000 yacht, slightly larger than a YT-1300, with a truncated nose, wide fuselage, two elliptical wings, and an orange and red flame pattern painted on its hull. Among its components were a shootback system that automatically returned incoming fire and a slave-circuit control. It also had three quad turbolasers and a tractor beam projector. Because of Mara's introverted nature, the Jade's Fire was the one thing she cared about the most. That was why Luke Skywalker was reluctant to take it to Nirauan in search of Mara, but he recognized the necessity to do so. They had planned to use the ship to escape the planet, but Mara realized that the only way to stop Voss Parck and Soontir Fel from contacting Bastion was to eliminate their fleet. She used her beckon call to remotely pilot the Jade's Fire on a collision course with the hangar facility of the Hand of Thrawn complex, destroying the hangar and most of the ships within. (AC, AS, VOF, CTD, NEGC)

Jade's Sting
One of the names Mara Jade considered for her starship, before settling on the Jade's Fire. (TFNR)

Jadthu-class Landing Craft
This landing craft was developed for use by the Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Manufactured by Incom Industries, the Jadthu-class lander was a modified shuttle that had been refitted for delivering troops instead of civilians. (SWDB, SHPT)

Jaeff
see Jaeffis (OWS)

Jaeffis
This Imperial Admiral was in command of the small fleet which protected the shipyards of Corellia during the Galactic Civil War. He was replaced by Admiral Roek shortly after the Battle of Endor (SWJ2)

Jaeger, Oron
This dark-skinned man served as a General in the Imperial armed forces, commanding the 501st Legion of stormtroopers nearly a century after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. General Jaeger was a loyal supporter of the Fel dynasty, and was commanding a unit of stormtroopers on Bastion when Darth Krayt took control of the galaxy.

Although outwardly loyal to the new regime, General Jaeger and his men maintained their allegiance to the Fels for many years. With Fel in exile, Jaeger maintained a tenuous contact with the former Emperor, and began working behind the scenes to rotate any remaining loyal military units to Bastion. In this way, Jaeger managed to consolidate a huge military force that could support any possible coup attempt Fel might plan.

About seven years after Darth Krayt usurped control of the galaxy, Emperor Roan Fel returned to Bastion to reclaim the planet as the center of the true Empire. Lieutenant Kiefer tried to stop Fel's plans, and went so far as to draw his blaster on the Emperor. Jaeger, however, was faster with his weapon, and shot Kiefer dead before he could do any harm to Fel.

With Darth Krayt and the Sith Empire unaware of Bastion's change in status, Emperor Fel took Jaeger into his confidence, and they began plotting their overthrow of the Sith. (SWLB)

Jael
This was the sixth of seven seasons experienced on the planet Guiteica. (AE)

Jael City
This was one of four major cities on the planet Kirima, and was located on the western part of the planet western continent. (TSK)

Jaemus
This primary world in the Jaemus System was located within the Velcar Free Commerce Zone, in the Pentastar Alignment. The Empire used the Galentro Heavy Works shipyards to subcontract out the work of Kuat Drive Yards and Seinar Fleet Systems, and the result was the Enforcer-class picket cruiser. The Jaemus yards were rivalled only by the Sluis Van shipyards. A group of Plexus courier droids also passed through the Jaemus shipyards, to be modified by Renikco and Santhe workers to serve as transport vessels for Death-Hunter cyborgs. (SWJ3, SWJ9)

Jaeth
This man was a smuggler who settled on the moon of Pinett and began working as a dockhand during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. When Daetan Taakses began his hunger strike in protest of the blockades above Pinett, Jaeth felt that Taakses and the Pinett Freedom Force were taking away his primary source of legal income. (WOA25)

Ja'Fai
This Abyssin term refers to the mating race between eligible males and females. Any female who completes the rite of passage to adulthood was given a head start, to be pursued by all adult bachelor males. The first male to catch a female wins her, and they were mated for life. Because the female Abyssin were faster runners than the males, a female's like or dislike for a given male may influence the race. (GG4)

Jafan
This man was once the King of the Naboo, and was generally credited with establishing the Great Time of Peace during his rule. (IWE1)

Jaffa Cider

Jag
This Mando'a word meant "man." (OWS)

Jag Crag Gorge
Part of the incredibly beautiful, though extremely arid, landscape of Tatooine, Jag Crag Gorge was a twisting, winding channel filled with rocky spires and outcroppings. Located near Arch Canyon, the Gorge was part of Jabba the Hutt's podracing course. It fed racers into the formation known as Jett's Chute. The Gorge later served as a section of the noted Mos Espa Circuit, a swoop racing event held annually during the height of the New Order. (E1N, RAC, SWGAL)

Jagannath
This Trandoshan term referred to the spoils of victory won in mortal combat. Each Trandoshan collected jagannath points throughout their life, mainly from capturing and killing Wookiees much larger than itself. When a Trandoshan individual died, he turned over his jagannath points to a Scorekeeper, who used the total as a way to determine the Trandoshan's place in the afterlife. (TBH, SWG2P)

Jagg Island Detention Center
Located on Coruscant, this prison facility was used by the New Republic to incarcerate former Imperial officers. (SOL)

Jagga II
This planet, located in the Venjagga System, was the site of an Imperial base following the Battle of Endor. It was a small world, and was protected by the Imperial-II class Star Destroyer Eviscerator. The reason for the Eviscerator's presence was the fact that Jagga II was producing missiles for the Imperial Navy. (XWN)

Jagga VII
This gas giant was located in the Venjagga System. (XWN)

Jaggert, Randall
This Imperial Colonel was in charge of the construction of the resupply base which was to be built in the Bissillirus System, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (GMK)

Jagi
This Mandalorian once challenged Canderous Ordo to a duel in the Dune Sea of Tatooine, a fight that Jagi eventually lost. It was Jagi who claimed that Canderous had turned his back on his fellow Mandalorians, and he wanted to kill Canderous in an act of revenge. In the wake of the duel, Jagi was embarrased by his defeat, and took his own life rather than return to Mandalore defeated. (SWDB, KOTOR)

Jaguada
This desert planet was the only habitable world in the Jaguada System, located in a remote corner of the Outer Rim Territories of the galaxy. The planet's wind-ravaged moon was the site of an ancient communications facility that was believed to have been several millennia in age. The facility was commandeered by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars, and initial scans revealed that the metal infrastructure was created from unidentifiable materials. The facility was later abandoned, but not before investigation revealed that Jaguada's moon might have been the site of a Sith stronghold, during the millennia leading up to the Great Sith War. Near the end of the Clone Wars, the Separatists had been driven off the moon, and a garrison of Republic clone troopers was established on Jaguada. The clone troopers were ostensibly on Jaguada to recover the stores of war machines left behind by the Separatists. (RDV)

Jagy
This Mandalorian was the leader of a small band that was dispatched to Tatooine during the height of the Mandalorian Wars. He was later defeated in combat by Canderous Ordo. (KOTOR)

Jahhnu
This was one of the three largest cities found on the planet Farrfin. Like Farlhu and Geltyu, it was best known for the criminal element which thrives within its borders. Jahhnu was known for the numerous betting houses that cater to gullible off-worlders, and which take in incredible numbers of credits from unsuspecting tourists. (TTSB)

Jahibakti
This was one of the larger Hutt kajidics, or clans. Before Jabba the Hutt claimed Tatooine for the Desilijics, the Jahibakti clan controlled nearly one-fifth of the planet's criminal activities. They also controlled more than fifty percent of the planet's water supply. (SOT)

Jahilid Drift
This region of the Outer Rim Territories contained the planet Pral and Koltine. (OWS)

Jahjee
This was a common name for Ewok females. Like other Ewok names, it referred to a spirit or character in the Ewoks' mythology. (GCG)

Jahjee
According to Ewok legend, this night spirit created realistic illusions to entertain sleeping Ewoks. (GCG)

Jahn
This young Zeltron was part of the detachment sent to the Forest Moon of Endor to meet with the leaders of the Alliance, most especially Leia Organa, in the wake of the Battle of Endor. Admiral Ackbar then placed the four Zeltrons in charge of protecting Leia, in order to simplify a delicate situation. It was Jahn who daringly knocked Knife unconscious on Kabray station, after the Nagai and his companions had captured Leia and the Zeltrons. Jahn and his companions were personally escorted back to Zeltros by Leia Organa shortly afterward. Like most Zeltrons, Jahn had a strong hatred of the Nagai. (LTA6, MC95, MC103)

Jahn
This was a common name among the Zeltron people. (GMR1)

Jahnae Camp
This was one of the many settlements found in the planet Bestine IV. Jahnae was located on a tall spire of rock which jutted out the planet's primary ocean. (EGP)

Jahnar-Kooda
This Koodan bounty hunter was under the employ of Boss Banjeer, during the early years of the New Republic, and served as part of the mercenary force which controlled the planet Baramorra. Unfortunately for Jahnar-Kooda, he crossed paths with Kir Kanos, who was working under the alias of Kenix Kil. Jahnar-Kooda threatened to physically harm Kanos, who quickly rendered the huge alien unconscious. (BHKK)

Jahrunba
This Dug was a member of Sebolto's gang during the years following the Battle of Naboo. He was the middle of three male siblings, and worked with his brothers, Nahrunba and Sahrunba, as a smuggler during their employment with Sebolto, transporting death sticks from Tatooine to Malastare. The Pixelito Grand Council issued a bounty for their capture, and Jango Fett managed to capture all three brothers during his attempt to meet with Sebolto. (BH)

Jahz
This was a common name among the Zeltron people. (UANT)

Jai
The Dathomirian word for Jedi (CPL)

Jai, Vun Merett
This Senatorial aide was working on the planet Coruscant when he was kidnapped along with Senator Meena Tills by a group of Haruun Kal terrorists led by Nuriin-Ar, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. It was later learned that Senator Tills wasn't the primary target, just a convenient diversion for the possible killing of N'zaet Nir. (SWI81)

Jaig
This was the common Mandalorian name for the jai'galaar. (SWI86)

Jaig Eyes
This was the name given to the stylized portrayal of the eyes of a jai'galaar, which was often used by Mandalorian warriors to disguise the visors of their helmets. Only those Mandalorians who displayed bravery in the face of danger were allowed to wear jaig eyes, which were known as jai'galaar'la sur'haii'se in the Mando'a language. The clone commander known as Fordo painted his helmet with jaig eyes, to display his relationship with his Mandalorian forefathers. (OWS, SWI86)

Jai'galaar
This bird of prey was native to the planet Mandalore, and was revered by the Mandalorians for its grace and bravery. It was known as a shriek-hawk to most other races. (SWI84, SWI86)

Jai'galaar
This ancient Mandalorian warship was part of the fleet that invaded the planet Taris, some 3,963 years before the Battle of Yavin. Taris was overrun by Cassus Fett during the height of the Mandalorian Wars, and the Jai'galaar was part of the invasion fleet. Because the various Mandalorians and their ships were from disparate parts of the galaxy, they often fired on each other without knowing it. The Jai'galaar inadvertently destroyed several tanker ships before Fett realized what was happening. (KOR7)

Jai'galaar
Most often referred to simply as Jag, this clone commander was officially designated CT-55/11-9009, making him part of the noted CT-5 batch of clones. Jag proved early in his career that he was an exceptional pilot, but he was flash-trained as a leader. Jag first saw action during the Battle of Geonosis, where he served as a commander of the 127th Gunship Wing. Although he was later demoted to Captain for his failure during the Retreat at Katraasii, Jag was among the pilots chosen by Jedi Master Plo Koon to serve as a test pilot on the new ARC-170 fighter. Jag remained attached to Plo Koon's forces, and was the Jedi Master's wingman during the struggle for control of Cato Neimoidia. This put him in perfect position when the command to execute Order 66 was issued. Captain Jag simply placed his fighter behind Plo Koon's and fired on the Jedi fight, causing it to crash into the side of a building and explode. (SWI84)

Jaig'alaar
see Jai'galaar (OWS)

Jai'galaar'la sur'haii'se
This was the Mando'a name for jaig eyes, or the eyes of a jai'galaar. (SWI86)

Jaijay Luxsub
This was one of the many submersible transport businesses operating on Pavo Prime during the early years of the New Republic. It offered a limited number of private compartments aboard each transport, as well as a large amount of common space. (SWI67)

Jaina
This was one of the most common names given to female Corellians. (GMR9)

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

Jaina's Light
This was the false identity used by Han Solo to smuggle three CR-90 corvettes out of Imperial space, for sale to the Alliance, a few years before the Battle of Yavin. Claiming it had been named for his mother, Han told Captain Llnewe of the customs vehicle Vigilant that he was in the employ of some farmers from Nadiem who were in need of supplies. The farmers, Han claimed, had help fund the purchase of the Jaina's Light. Each time the Imperial stopped him, Han claimed to be travelling to Nadiem to deliver supplies to the farmers. However, it took three meetings for Captain Llnewe to realize that he never intercepted the Jaina's Light during its return from the planet Nadiem. By that time, Han and Chewbacca had earned a tidy sum for delivering the three - virtually identical - corvettes to Mako Spince for sale to the Alliance. (T2)

Jaing
This was the nickname used by Kal Skirata to describe the Null-class ARC Trooper designated N-10. Jaing's existence was known only to certain highly-placed officials, chiefly Chancellor Palpatine himself. Jaing was a master assassin and marksman, and often was assigned sniper duty. When Fi was badly injured on Gaftikar, Jaing was able to make a side trip to Mandalore to visit him. On Mandalore, Jaing agreed to care for Lord Mirdalan, the strill that was Walon Vau's companion, in the event that Vau died. As the Clone Wars ground on, Skirata invoked the gai bal manda and formally adopted Jaing and his fellow ARC Troopers as his sons. Jaing, along with Kom'rk, were part of the Clone Intelligence Unit that discovered that General Grievous was on Utapau, shortly after the First Battle of Coruscant. However, it was never known why he didn't share his knowledge with the rest of the Grand Army of the Republic. When the command to execute Order 66 was issued, Jaing left active service with the GAR to join Kal Skirata on Mandalore. He took to wearing a pair of gray, leather gloves with his beskar'gam, and few beings realized that the tanned leather had come from the body of Ko Sai.

In the wake of the Clone Wars, Jaing was one of the few clone troopers who managed to bypass the accelerated aging that had been installed into their genetic coding. He adopted the name Jaing Skirata, and traveled the galaxy as a common Mandalorian mercenary. He revealed himself to Boba Fett many decades later, during the years following the Swarm War, and agreed to help the bounty hunter cure the degeneration that was ravaging his body. (SWI84, LF5, RCTC, RC66)

Jaing, Master
This alien being was one of the many Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders who survived the Mandalorian Wars and set out to take control of several clans of mercenaries, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor. Roughly humanoid in shape, Master Jaing had a huge skull that was dominated by a pair of heavy horns growing from his cheeks. Like Canderous Ordo, Master Jaing was a former shock trooper who remained loyal to the Canons of Honor, but realized that he needed to earn credits in order to survive. Jaing managed to rein in some of the old Neo-Crusader clans, and made a relatively honest living as a soldier for hire. It was rumored that Jaing was the first true mentor of the armored bounty hunter Durge, and it was believed that Jaing was killed in a Mandalorian attack while arranging for Durge to receive his various cybernetic implants. The attack had been arranged by the very doctor who performed the surgeries, who had stolen a Sith artifact from Jaing's chief rival, Ung Kusp, in an effort to set off a war between the Sith and the Mandalorians. (SWI80, VIS)

Jair
This Mando'a verb meant "to scream" or "to shriek." (OWS)

Jak
This Nautolan male lived in the underworld of the planet Coruscant, during the years surrounding the Sith-Imperial War and the Massacre at Ossus. As a youth, he became passing friends with Cade Skywalker, who often traveled into the city to escape the rigors of his Jedi training. Jak was surprised to meet up with Cade some seven years after the destruction of the Jedi on Ossus, when Cade arrived to rescue Hosk Trey'lis. (SWLC)

Jak
This man was a TIE Fighter pilot, serving the Empire during the months following the Battle of Yavin. Jak and his wingman were assigned to the Adjudicator, but were shot down by Boba Fett while on patrol. (SWEW)

Jak, Hurn
This Th'iruckai teruk was a rival of Oolan Krim, and had planted several spies in Krim's clan. When Jak discovered that Krim was negotiating with a group of offworld scouts for weapons, Jak arranged for them to be posioned with yurfloo in order to force them to provide him with the weapons. Hurn Jak held the only known antidote. The slowly dying scouts discovered the source of the enmity between the clans, and arranged to get the teruks together to discuss a cease-fire after learning that the war between the clans was based on an ancient misunderstanding. (GMS)

Jak, Three-fingered
This loan shark made a living on StarForge Station. (FOP)

JAK Racing

Jakaitis
This man was a maintenance supervisor working at the Bakuran Senate Complex during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (FH2)

Jakan
This Yuuzhan Vong high priest was an advisor to Supreme Overlord Shimrra, and the father of the priestess Elan, during the aliens' invasion of the galaxy some twenty-five years after the Battle of Endor. He led the priest caste of Yuuzhan Vong during their invasion of the galaxy, and represented the priests on the Great Council. He eventually became the High Priest of the Yuuzhan Vong, after the capture and terraforming of Coruscant into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar. As befitting his rank and caste, Jakan often wore clothing of a deep red color, to distinguish himself from other priests. When the combined forces of the Galactic Alliance made a final push to recapture the planet Coruscant, Jakan remained at Shimrra's side, until the ground forces of the Alliance reached the Citadel and began moving on the Well of the World Brain. Along with High Prefect Drathul and Qelah Kwaad, Jakan descended from the Citadel and traveled to the Well to anoint the Jedi who were captured there. Among those captured were Harrar, Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, and Jakan agreed they would make excellent sacrifices. His plans were cut short when Nom Anor, leading Mara Jade Skywalker and a band of Shamed Ones, flooded the chamber and confronted the warriors arrayed before them. Drathul demanded that the captives be executed, but his commander instead turned his forces against Drathul's guards. In a flash, Harrar was free, and he rendered Jakan unconscious with a single blow to the head. Jakan's life was spared, however, and he was detained for later questioning. After the deaths of Shimrra and Onimi - who proved to be the true Supreme Overlord - Jakan and the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong agreed to surrender to the Galactic Alliance. 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, DW, FH3, UF)

Her father was a worker in the tibanna gas refinery, and her mother worked at the Holiday Towers restaurant. When Darth Vader first arrived at the outpost, she didn't know about it. However, when Lando Calrissian ordered the evacuation of the colony, she was cut off from her parents. Allie and a group of friends traversed the city's Ugnaught tunnels, passing into the carbon-freezing chamber just as Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader were battling with their lightsabers. She kept going, but felt some bond with Luke that she couldn't explain. When she emerged from the tunnels with her friends, they were found by Bent Gavler and whisked off the outpost in a crowded transport ship.

Jakobeast
Native to several arctic worlds in the Outer Rim Territories, the jakobeast was a Force-sensitive herd creature. Because of their connection to the Force, they were capable of defending themselves in ways that other herdbeasts could not. For this reason, many jakobeasts were seeded on planets far from their homeworld, by colonists who needed to maintain a supply of beasts for meat, fur, milk, and other necessities. The average jakobeast was similar in size to a bantha, with two segmented horns sprouting from their skulls and two tusks jutting from their lower jaw. The tusks were used to dig up snow and ice to reach the vegetation beneath it. The fur of the jakobeast was a light gray color, striped with white to help it blend into its native tundra environment. The horns of the jakobeast, however, were its most distinguishing feature. The horns were used by the jakobeast to channel the energy of the Force, and the energy they gather can often been seen arcing between the horns like electricity. While the energy itself was harmless, the jakobeast uses it to generate a form of Force push to defend itself from predators. (PJSB)

Jakrab
This was a species of tiny, bounding herbivores native to the planet Tatooine. Thin-boned and swift, jakrabs were distinguished by their long ears and sparsely-furred bodies. Their ears served many purposes, including heat dissipation and a semaphore-like communication. (WSW)

This criminal syndicate was originally sponsored by House Mecetti, and was the primary contractor for most of Mecetti's dirty work. The Jalk Syndicate was originally formed many centuries before the New Order, after the apparent fall of the Mecrosa Order. The Syndicate was one of the only House-sponsored gangs to survive the Imperial occupation of Tapani Sector. The Mecetti leaders ordered the Syndicate's leader, Boss Tosk, to shut down operations in an effort to win favor with Emperor Palpatine. Tosk knew better than to cross Mecetti, and agreed to put a halt to its actions. However, Boss Tosk had no plans to given up the Syndicate, and maintained its membership while negotiating a deal to keep the Syndicate operating with sponsorship from House Barnaba. It was best known for its assasins, all of which were droids. (LOE)

Jalunn, Qar
This being was a youthful entrepreneur who arrived on the planet Genarius and began throwing credits at any operation which seemed to be even marginally profitable. Roughly half of his investments failed in the short-run, but his exuberance was nonetheless undeterred. (LFC)

Jam, Christoph
This eccentric man was a native of the planet Alderaan, where he owned and operated Descorp. Unknown to most other beings, Jam also maintained one of the most extensive spy networks on the planet.

Through his teams of Rectifiers, Jam made sure that each situation that was brought to his attention was resolved. Much of the funding for the Rectifiers came from Descorp's profits. (CCW)

Jamaane, Shimrra
A member of Domain Jamaane, this Yuuzhan Vong was the Supreme Overlord during the initial invasion of the known galaxy. It was Lord Shimrra's vision that led the Yuuzhan Vong to leave their own galaxy and seek out the New Republic. He believed that he was given a vision from the gods, of an unclean galaxy which needed to be cleansed. Yuuzhan Vong priests agreed that his vision was true, and approved the generation-spanning mission to cross the galaxies. Shimrra was an enormous individual, and spent a great deal of his time secreted in a vast chamber aboard an unspecific worldship, surrounded by all the trappings of the Yuuzhan Vong elite. An immense hau polyp dais supported his weight, and rare paaloc incense burned in his chamber. Shimrra was distinguished among the Yuuzhan Vong by the fact that he was born with a twin sibling, a rare event that was supposedly pre-ordained by the gods whenever a strong leader was needed. As lore required, Overlord Shimrra killed his twin brother, thereby allowing him to grow powerful and worshipped as the favorite of the gods. Shimrra developed his base of power by killing Quoreal, the former Overlord, claiming that the gods had chosen him as the new Overlord. Shimrra did much to cover his tracks, and he continually claimed that his power came from the gods. In reality, he developed much of his power through subtle manipulation of the Yuuzhan Vong religion and the cortexes of knowledge they maintained. As the battle to control the galaxy raged on, Shimrra began to panic as early victories gave way to a grudging stalemate, then turned to defeats. He continued to manipulate religion to secure his position, but many of his subordinates began to question his authority, primarily Nen Yim and the Shapers. When it was discovered that Shimrra had killed Ekh'm Val to cover up the existence of the plaent Zonama Sekot, Shimrra's position began to crumble. His fear of the planet, which seemed to tie the Yuuzhan Vong to the galaxy, became more and more public knowledge, despite his efforts to cover it up. After many months of watching his forces lose ground to the flesgling Galactic Alliance, Shimrra had tired of the growing opposition to his rule, as well as to the unusual problems that kept the dhuryam on Coruscant from functioning properly. Using his people's desire to please their gods as a base, Shimrra told the Yuuzhan Vong that their lack of faith in his leadership was actually a lack of faith in their gods, who had appointed Shimrra in the first place. He then went on to say that the problems on Coruscant and the mounting defeats in battle were caused by the gods' desire to show the Yuuzhan Vong that they had failed to maintain the proper levels of devotion. The situation, he explained, was based in the generations-long migration from their original galaxy, during which time a lack of wars and combat made the Yuuzhan Vong forget about their gods and focus on their own glorification. As if to prove himself, Shimrra created the Slayers, a mingling of warrior and priest to develop a Yuuzhan Vong version of the Jedi Knights. He surrounded himself with Slayer guards, and retreated into The Citadel. Secretly, Shimrra believed that the gods had abandoned the Yuuzhan Vong bcause they were angry at being cast aside, and jealous that Shimrra had gained so much power over them. He seemed to have his beliefs confirmed when Zonama Sekot arrived in orbit near Coruscant, as he raged to Nom Anor that it was the gods who brought the living planet from the brink of disaster to harrass the Yuuzhan Vong. It was an act of war, he claimed, against the beings who had decided they no longer needed the gods. By destroying Zonama Sekot, Shimrra believed he could destroy the gods themselves, thereby gaining absolute power over the Yuuzhan Vong. To accomplish this goal, Shimrra held the dying ship that had returned from Caluula in orbit around Coruscant, then dispatched it to land on Zonama Sekot. Shimrra reasoned that the Alpha Red virus would affect Zonama Sekot much the same way it had affected the Yuuzhan Vong. Ensconced in the Moonbeam Throne, Shimrra commanded the World Brain that controlled Coruscant to begin destroying the planet's surface. Couched in commands that made it seem as if such destruction was necessary to save the planet, Shimrra's words were directed toward a less-noble goal, for Shimrra simply wanted to destroy the planet and make it unusable to either side of the war. This plan was thwarted when Jacen Solo arrived on Coruscant with his sister Jaina and their uncle, Luke Skywalker. The trio infiltrated the Citadel after Jacen gained control of the World Brian's mind, but Shimrra dispatched fifteen of his best Slayers to attack them. The three Jedi held their, in part because the World Brain was tossing the Citadel around like a ball. Shimrra remained in his throne until it appeared Luke as exhausted from the battle. Descending the throne and unfurling the Scepter of Power, Shimrra easily overpowered Luke and wrapped him in the amphistaff's coils. Shimrra then drew a lightsaber from his cloak, laughing as he revealed that the weapon had once belonged to Anakin Solo. As Shimrra prepared to kill Luke with the weapon, Luke allowed the Scepter of Power to stab him in the side, momentarily distracting the Supreme Overlord. With this small chance, Luke gained possession of his own lightsaber, as well as Anakin's. In one swift motion, Luke drove both weapons into Shimrra's neck, then drew them apart to decapitate the Supreme Overlord. It was only after Shimrra's death that the forces of the Galactic Alliance came to realize that Shimrra was not actually in control of the Yuuzhan Vong throughout the invasion. Shimrra, it seemed, had been merely the puppet of his familiar, the Shamed One known as Onimi. It was Onimi who had managed to re-establish a connection with the Force, giving him powers that the other Yuuzhan Vong could never have. His position as a Shamed One had given Onimi the opportunity to take control of Shimrra's mind, using the Supreme Overlord to do his bidding. With the death of Onimi at the hands of Jacen Solo, the true Overlord was indeed killed. (HT, EVC, EVR, SBS, FP, UF)

Jamdahr
This was the alias used by Azlyn Rae, when she took up bounty hunting after the Massacre at Ossus. As Jamdahr, Azlyn disguised her appearance by wearing a full-body suit of black-and-gold armor. A stylized helmet covered her face, and a heavy cloak helped to obscure her physical appearance. Azlyn Rae was a former Jedi student who was believed to have died when the Sith attacked the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, although she managed to escape from Coruscant and go into hiding. While few beings knew of her true identity, even fewer knew that Azlyn Rae had also joined the Imperial Knights, in an effort to complete her training with the Force. (SWLL)

Jamer, Dren
An Imperial Navy Captain serving on the Dominant under Pter Thanas, Dren Jamer was known for a less than stellar career at the Imperial Academy and as an officer. However, both parts of his life were punctuated by unusually bright moments. His commanding officer aboard the Star Destroyer Stormclaw commended his attention to detail and promoted him to the bridge crew. However, his otherwise average performance relegated him to duty at Bakura, where he served as Thanas' second in command. Thanas recognized Jamer's aptitude for science and exploration, and assigned him the duty of mapping the Bakura System. After the Battle of Bakura, Jamer continued to denounce the Alliance and left Thanas' crew to remain with the Imperial forces. (TB, TBSB)

Ja-Mero Ridge
This long-dry riverbed was located on the planet Tatooine, some seventy kilometers from the Jundland Wastes. The river once flowed along a winding path, and cut jagged canyons into the sandstone and rock. Many of the locals explored the canyons within Ja-Mero Ridge, although it was easy to get lost in the twisting canyons. (LLOW)

James
This modified CR90 corvette was part of the Empire's naval forces that were operative during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TIEP)

Jameson
This man convinced his commanding officer, Lajar Weqill, to go on a safari to Relkass. The plan was to kill a few draagax for the bounty on their pelts. A native of Relkass, Jameson barely survived the hunt after severely underestimating the predatory frenzy of a pack of draagax under the influence of the Relkass sentinel plant's narcotic. (COG)

Jameson, Skorg
This immense man was a farmer, native to the moon Sulon, when it was first subjugated by the Empire. He was the leader of the local rebel cell, and hoped to gain rank and eventually join the Alliance in its struggle against the Empire. (SFE)

Jamillia
This woman served as the Queen of Naboo, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. A native of the southeastern regions of Naboo, Jamillia was elected to serve when Padme' Amidala left the office after her two terms were completed. It was Jamillia who requested that Padme' remain in the political life, to serve as Naboo's Senator to the Old Republic's Galactic Senate. Queen Jamillia opened up many of Naboo's spaceports and rural areas to refugees who were fleeing the Separatist crisis on their homeworlds, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. She was succeeded by Queen Neeyutnee shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. (OWS, HNN5, SWDB, CWOC1)

Jaminere
This planet served as the capital world of the Allied Tion sector, during the height of the New Order. As the former center of the Jaminere Marches, Jaminere was part of Xim the Despot's empire in the early years of galactic history, although it was never part of the Tion Hegemony. (ML, GORW, OWS)

Jaminere Marches
This area of the galaxy, once centered on the planet Jaminere, was one of the many pieces of the empire of Xim the Despot. A century after Xim's death, the Jaminere Marches broke away from the rest of the empire. By the time of the formation of the Galactic Empire, the Jaminere Marches had become part of the Allied Tion sector of the galaxy. (GORW, OWS)

Jamiro, Tigran
This native of the planet Onderon spent most of his life in service to the Alliance. He served at the Dantooine base before being relocated to Yavin 4. After the Battle of Yavin, Jamiro was assigned to Echo Base on Hoth. Jamiro's expertise was in logistics, and he served as Echo Base's Senior Logistics Officer. Any Alliance personnel arriving at the base had to report directly to him. Many years later, Tigran continued to serve in the New Republic military, and had earned the rank of General by the time the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. He was placed under the command of Admiral Traest Kre'fey, and commanded the ground troops which were dispatched to Ylesia to capture the leaders of the Peace Brigade, shortly after the Second Battle of Coruscant. (CCG3, Y)

Jammer
This manta-like predator was native to the jungles of Kidron. They glided through the air by filling special sacs with air and then using their win-like fins to navigate the breezes. They were named jammers by the Orfites because jammers exude a cloud of foul-smelling stench that extended five meters around their body. This intense odor effectively jammed the Orfite's olfactory senses. The average jammer grew to lengths reaching three meters, with a wingspan of three meters or more. (PG3)

Jammer
This was a generic term used to describe any starship countermeasure that could jam or disrupt the communications systems of another starship. (CN1)

Jammer Pack
Any form of technology used to prevent unwanted listeners from overhearing a conversation. The original technology was less than successful, and would have been scrapped if the devices hadn't been discovered by various intelligence agencies. It was found that a high-powered jammer pack could drown out all communications in a specific area. This allowed operatives to enter a location while their targets were unable to communicate with each other. (TTSB)

Jamos, Hen
This merchant and spacer plied the spacelanes of Trax Sector during the Galactic Civil War. He was sympathetic to the Alliance, and agreed to help a group of Alliance agents travel from Draenell's Point to Entrus, during their investigation of the construction of the Bissillirus Resupply Base. Hen was the owner and operator of the Trax Express, and spent much of his career transporting trinkets and souvenirs of the sector to starports and visitors' centers. (GMK)

Jan
This unknown individual accompanied Andos Delvaren to the Combat Moon, in an effort to instigate large-scale conflict between the Rabaanite and S'krrr people. Jan was an Imperial agent, and attempted to draw Mika Streev into a trap to disable and kill him in S'krrr fashion. However, Mika's reflexes kept him out of reach, and he delivered a blow which crippled Jan's knee. Andos managed to knock out Mika, and Jan attempted to kill him with a S'krrr energy pike. Mika came to and grappled with Jan, until he was able to remove a stilleto from its sheath and slit Jan's throat. (SWJ9)

JAN

Jan, Janvar
This confident, middle-aged scoundrel and conman established a new home in the Cularin System, during the final years of the Old Republic, in an effort to make himself a small fortune. He bought three luxury liners and refitted them, hoping to attract tourists with regular cruises through the "mysterious Cularin System," during the years that followed the system's reappearance in the galaxy. He also purchased two other vessels. The first was a support ship that could assist any luxury liner that experienced trouble. The second was a smuggling vessel that was similar in design to his three luxury liners, and had transponder codes that matched the three luxury liners in his fleet.

His new business, Cularin Star Tours, started out with a bit of excitement when the Naboo-based crew of the support ship Starchaser IV was delayed due to the growing tensions between the Old Republic and the Separatists. He hired a group of freelance agents as replacements, and their first days on the job involved the rescue of two luxury liners and the recovery of a safari group.

However, when the Starchaser IV's crew suddenly encountered a fourth ship that bore the transponder codes of one of the other cruise ships, they became suspicious. A brief discussion with the smugglers who were operating the fourth ship led the crew to learn of Jan's illicit side business, and a chance encounter with Shiana Trist revealed that the Liana Liberators were using one of the luxury ships. The freelance crew continued to perform their duties as contracted, but alerted the Office of Peace and Security to Jan's activities. When they arrived at the end of their week to be paid, the crew secretly brought several OPS officers with them. As soon as Jan transferred their credits, the OPS officers arrested him and sent him to jail.

It was later discovered that Jan had made a deal with a group of pirates in the Cularin System, using his fourth ship to help them smuggle illegal cargoes throughout the Cularin System. The real crew of the Starchaser IV would have been the main link between Jan and the pirates, answering "distress calls" from a ship that appeared to be one of the Cularin Star Tours luxury ships. Any transport of cargo would have been viewed as a rescue operation, and could have been deposited at a spaceport in the Cularin System without being subjected to customs or searches. (REPL)

Janaga
This Huttese verb translated into Basic as "to deal with". (CWBB)

Janah
This woman worked as a pirate during the height of the New Order, serving Captain Naz Felyood aboard the Jynni's Virtue. When the freighter made a hasty jump into hyperspace to escape an Imperial patrol, Janah was forced to take over as navigator when Nrross was killed in an explosion. After landing on Korriban, however, Janah was eventually killed by the Korriban Zombies, and her dead body was reanimated to join the zombies. (PH)

Janczyk
This being was the Captain of the Dred Imperative. (SN)

Jandal
This city was located on the planet Kamori. (SWJ5)

Jandarra
This green and purple tubular vegetable was grown on the planet Jubilar. It grows in the deserts there, usually only after one of the infrequent rain storms. A delicacy favored by the wealthy throughout the galaxy, jandarra plants take almost two years to cultivate, due to the rarity of rain on the Jubilar desert. The natives of Jubilar were forced to smuggle the vegetable off their planet to nearby Shalam for processing, because nearby Shalamites placed a 100% tariff on it in order to help fill their own coffers. (TBH)

Jandi, Aellyn
This young woman married Moff Riit Jandi, and lived on Elshandruu Pica. She was a childhood friend and love of Sair Yonka from their time on Commenor, who managed to convince Kina Margath to cover up their affair. Kina agreed, and spread rumors that Yonka was romancing herself, instead of coming to Elshandruu Pica to meet with Aellyn. For her own part, Aellyn used her position as the Moff's wife to obtain special concessions for Margath's on Elshandruu Pica, and persuaded Yonka to bring exotic liquors and alcohols from the worlds he visted for Kina. (BW)

Jandi, Riit
This Imperial Moff took control of Elshandruu Pica in the wake of the Battle of Endor. He was married to Aellyn Jandi, a woman forty years his younger, and was unaware of her affair with Sair Yonka. (BW)

Jandler, Myle
This well-dressed, able-bodied man was living on Rafa IV, durnig the early years of the New Order. Jandler was at one time the owner of the Spaceman's Rest. When he gave up the bar, he was restricted from ever entering again, after he tried to insert a no-droids clause in the new owner's deed. After giving up the Spaceman's Rest, Jandler began working for Duttes Mer as a constable and Captain of the Guard. When Mer and Rokur Gepta brought Lando Calrissian to Rafa IV, Jandler was placed in charge of making Lando couldn't back out of their deal to locate the Mindharp. Jandler was ordered to follow Lando's every move, and to eliminate Calrissian if necessary. The orders from Mer finally angered Jandler enough that he willingly let Lando place his team on a drifting crusier, whose destination was Rafa XI. This gave Lando enough time to find the Mindharp without intervention and figure out its true purpose. After Lando left the Rafa System, Jandler was promoted to serve as the Chief Supervisor of the remaining life-crystal orchards, reporting directly to Sris Lehhett. (LCM, GMR5)

Jandoon
This planet was the primary world in the Jandoon System, which was located in the Corva Sector. The inhabitants of the planet died out centuries ago, although the reasons for their disappearance were never uncovered. It was rumored that the spirits of the dead roamed the system, and these rumors tended to keep most travellers out of the system. Another rumor stated that the planet's inhabitants were technologically advanced, and that fantastic machines and tools could be found deep within the planet. The average day on Jandoon lasted 25 standard hours, and that its year encompassed 273 local days. Note that the Star Wars: Customizable Card Game claims that Jandoon was the homeworld of the Brizzit race. (SWJ6, CCG)

Jandovar, Maxa
A famous vandfillist who performed during the last years of the Old Republic and into the era of the Galactic Civil War.

Jandur
This planet's government was full of bluster and self-importance when it applied for membership in the New Republic. It decided to back off when it realized what the New Republic stood for, and was awarded membership. (BTS)

Janessa's Atlas
This was one of the most useful galactic mapping systems available to independent spacers during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Janessa's Atlas served as an enhancement to the astrographical databases used by starship navigational computers to calculate pathways between locations, and provided location information on points of interest and interstellar anomalies. It also provided warnings and advisories about the realtive safety of various locations, noting factional and political information for space stations, nebulae, and flight corridors. (SWG2P)

JanFathal
This arid planet was one of the many Outer Rim worlds that saw conflicts during the era of the Clone Wars. JanFathal was the primary world in the Fath System, which was located near a minor hyperspace travel route found in the Dantus Sector of the galaxy. The monarchy of the planet was loyal to the Galactic Republic, and remained so even after the start of the Clone Wars. The monarch's opulent lifestyle put him at odds with the laboring workforce, which believed in the basic tenets of the Confederacy of Independeny Systems. A revolt took place in which the laborers were augmented by Separatist military forces, and the monarch was quickly deposed. The planet was then abandoned by the Republic due to a lack of military assets in the surrounding sector. (CWNOP)

Jangelle
This warm world was located in the Kathol Outback. It's surface was covered with sandy lowlands broken by a complex network of rivers, streams, and deltas. Large, deep bodies of water were rare on Jangelle. The planet was settled by a group of refugees who fled the Empire when it invaded Kathol Sector, and they maintained contact with the rest of the sector - and Moff Sarne's activities - during supply runs to Gandle Ott and Pembric II. The colonies on Jangelle were low-tech settlements, although there were two ion cannons and a small navy protecting them. The leadership of Jangelle formed a mutual defense pact with the planets of the Kathol Republic in order to maintain their world's freedom. (KO)

Jang'ika
This was a nickname used by many members of the Cuy'val Dar to describe Jango Fett, during the time they spent training clone troopers on the planet Kamino, in preparation for deployment during the Clone Wars. (RC66)

Jangler
A musical instrument often used in marching bands. (CPL)

Jango
This style of music was popular on the planet Cularin, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (NET2)

Jango Fett Arena
This open-air arena was located in the city of Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine. During the height of the New Order, all manner of combat events were held to entertain patrons. The arnea was named in honor of Jango Fett, who died in the Geonosis gladiator arenas many years earlier. (IWST)

Jango Jumper
This was a slang term used by certain Jedi Knights, during the hight of the Clone Wars, to describe any being who attempted to flee from an encounter by leaping across a vast distance. The term referred to the fact that Jango Fett used his backpack rocket to propel himself away from multiple encounters with Obi-Wan Kenobi. (CWTV33)

Jangoed
This slang term became part of the lingo of the galaxy's bounty hunters in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis, where Jango Fett was defeated in combat by Jedi Master Mace Windu. When Asajj Ventress issued bounties for the deaths of 82 members of the Jedi Order, the more experienced hunters advised their greener brethren to take care when hunting a Jedi. Otherwise, they risked getting Jangoed - dying in combat when their heads were severed from their bodies with a lightsaber. (SWI73)

Jangotat
This was the second nickname adopted by clone trooper A-98, who was also known as Nate. The name meant "Jango's brother" in Mandalorian, a name that Nate felt gave him a closer tie to Jango Fett, who served as the template for the clone troopers. He took the new name after spending a great deal of time with Sheeka Tull, who had once been romantically linked to Jango. Shortly after taking on the new name, Jangotat was badly injured when the Desert Wind terrorist based was infiltrated by a group of plastidroids and JK-series combat droids. Jangotat was rescued by Sheeka Tull, who took him to her village to recouperate under the ministrations of Brother Nicos Fate and several other Cestian healers. It was during his recovery that Jangotat felt most vulnerable, and his presence at the settlement only placed Sheeka and her family in danger. Sheeka revealed that she hated what he represented, the Clone Wars and the way it was destroying the galaxy. As for Jangotat himself, she only felt pity. In his absence, Jangotat's fellow ARC troopers wondered if he had been captured, or had broken the unwritten Code among troopers. It was while he was recouperating that Jangotat was given an opportunity to see first-hand the dashta eels, when Sheeka took him to their secret cave. The sight of the blind eels, glowing with happiness and friendship, made his cry for the first time in his life. It was then that he realized that, despite the fact that the clone troopers were produced from the same genetic template, they were all unique in their own ways. Upon returning to his comrades and the Jedi Masters, Jangotat spent all of his free time discussing Jedi combat techniques with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto, soaking up every scrap of information. In this way, Jangotat came to understand how to anticipate his opponent's next move, and was able to defeat his fellow ARC troopers in training battles that were designed to end in a draw. As the situation on Ord Cestus unraveled, Jangotat discovered the secret location of the Five Families' hidden bunker. He launched a desparate mission to root them out, using information from Thak Val Zsing to guide his actions. Once Thak Val Zsing gained him entrance to the compound, Jangotat called to the Nexu to override the orders for bombardment. Rather than firing on the Clandes Industrial complex, Jangotat ordered the Nexu to fire on his own location, inside the compound. Only the fact that an ARC trooper ordered the strike right on top of his own location made Admiral Baraka alter the targetting. Baraka's military training ran its course, and the Nexu fired on the bunker. Along with most of the members of the Five Families, Jangotat was killed in the explosions. His last will and testament remained behind, and provided clues to the truths behind Ord Cestus. (TCD)

Janguine
This planet was home to a species of jungle barbarians, which disappeared some 300 years before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (VP)

Janguine
This was the native language used by the natives of the planet Janguine. It was eventually absorbed by the Mooloolian tribes of the planet's mountainous region. Many language experts believed that the Yuuzhan Vong language was reminiscent, if not related to, the Janguine language. (VP, HT)

Jan-gwa
This was one of the many Gungan settlements found on the planet Naboo, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (CWTV25)

Janildakara
This woman took up bounty hunting after her family's transport was ambushed by pirates. Janildakara herself was sold to the Zyggerian slavers, but escaped and began searching for her parents. She joined House Renliss and became a hunter, believing that the House would provide her with access to information on their whereabouts.

Jank
see Janks (DT1)

Jankar, "Slag"
This Imperial Army Sergeant served as the primary drill instructor at the IMIIF-138 facility on Sirpar, during the height of the New Order. A veteran of the Old Republic Army, Jankar's true loyalties were to the Army itself. Although he hated the corruption which tore apart the Old Republic, and though he believes that Emperor Palpatine brought a level of pride and discipline back to the military, Jankar lived to serve the Army itself. He also prided himself on being the toughest, most demanding drill instructor on Sirpar. (SWJ2)

Jankok
This warm planet was the homeworld of the Srrors'tok race. (AE)

Janks
This Phindian served as the assistant engineer aboard the transport vessel Uhumele, having been apprenticed to chief engineer Meekerdin-maa by Captain Schurk-Heren, during the final years of the Old Republic. In addition to his skills in maintainined the ship, Janks was something of an accomplished cook, and often worked with Mezgraf to meals for the crew. Like the rest of his crewmates, Janks had no reason to trust the Galactic Empire that rose to power in the wake of the Clone Wars. When the Uhumele was grounded on New Plympto in the wake of the Clone Wars, Dass Jennir disagreed with Ko Vakier's plan to simply blast their way clear of the Imperials. Janks snorted at his comments, openly questioning Jennir's ability to come up with a better plan.

Ultimately, Janks was forced to follow Jennir's lead, and his shipmates in the search for Resa Greenbark. Janks accompanied Bomo Greenbark and Meekerdin-maa on a mission to disable Qua's security droids, allowing Jennir the opportunity to confront Qua before he could flee from the estate. After Jennir executed Qua for killing Resa Greenbark, he left the crew of the Uhumele behind. Captain Schurk-Heren set a course for Pizkoss, but was unaware that the Empire had taken control of the planet. Janks, Ratty, and Bomo were intercepted by a squad of stomtroopers, and fled into the market. Unfortunately, Janks was captured when he was injured in a fall, and was taken for interrogation.

Janks awoke in a holding cell deep inside an Imperial Star Destroyer, where he was kept in darkness and fed minimal amounts of food, and asked only a few questions. This unsettled his mind, since Janks had been expecting a full interrogation. When Darth Vader finally arrived to question him, Janks had no idea who the Dark Lord was, but he knew that the figure in black was someone to fear. Note that this character is also referred to as Jank. (DT1, DT2, DTV)

Jan-lo, Sunnar
This strong, energetic young Agamarian woman was recruited into the Alliance along with Keyan Farlander, some time before the Battle of Yavin. Sunnar went on to become a fairly competant starfighter pilot, although she was badly injured in the assault on the Star Destroyer Intrepid. Her fighter was destroyed in the battle, but a rescue shuttle managed to recover her body and keep her alive long enough to return the Independence. She spent several days in a bacta tank, recovering from her injuries. After she was fully healed, Sunnar was transferred off the Independence and given a long-term assignment in the Alliance's Fleet Intelligence agency. (XW, XWP)

Janna
This ten-year-old girl was separated from her parents in the city of Gadrin, on the planet Cularin, in the wake of the riots that were sparked by the execution of Borus Ferthyn, sometime after the Battle of Naboo. In the wake of Lieutenant Dalin's capture, Janna was able to make contact with her parents, who refused to come out of hiding in order to protect her. Taking matters into her own hands, Janna made contact with the freelance agents who captured Dalin, in an effort to rescue her parents and any other individuals who were being held captive. (NET2)

Janna, Neile
This noted holo-feature actress, director and producer returned from a twenty-year hiatus to work on a holofeature called Kallea's Hope, which was based on the Kallea Cycle opera, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The feature was credited by the artisans of the New Order with restoring interest in Freia Kallea and the Kallea Cycle opera. To most of the galaxy, Janna was best-known as Carma Dame, from the series Scrivner's Revenge. It was this role that gave most critics the opinion that Neile Janna was inly capable of handling less-demanding role, and these critics openly questioned whether or not she could handle the role of Freia Kallea. (SWJ5, SWJ13, OWS)

Jannick, Jerus
This man was a member of the Naboo Royal Security Forces during the Trade Federation's invasion of the Naboo System. Jannik served under Captain Panaka, and took his duty to protect Queen Amidala very seriously. (CCG15)

Jannik
Meaning "just", 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)

Jannik the White
This light-skinned Rodian was the leader of the Reeven clan, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. In order to defeat his bitter rival, Evo the Blue and the Cairn clan, Jannik hired the services of Nym and his mercenary gang. Despite the fact that Nym destroyed the Cairns, Jannik refused to pay the mercenary his fees. Nym stole the war treasure which had been won by the Reeven clan and fled. This act of treachery was simply an act for the public cameras, as Jannik later joined Nym's gang and took half the profits from the defeat of the Cairns. When Nym agreed to help Ambassador Loreli Ro and the Mere put a stop to the predations of Sol Sixxa, Jannik became a full part of Nym's crew. However, Jannik was badly wounded in hand-to-hand combat with Sol Sixxa, who shoved a long knife into Jannik's chest. Luckily for the Rodian, the blade missed his major organs, and Jannik survived the battle. (CRBN)

Jannpyr
This Jiivahar was one of the most renowned tour guides to ever work on the planet Carest 1. (SWJ14)

Janodral Mizar
This planet was located near the site where Han Solo and Chewie attacked a Zygerrian slave ship single-handedly and managed to free the slaves. They turned the pirate ship over to the freed slaves, rather than taking the plunder themselves, as prescribed by the laws of the planet. (HTTE)

Janoo, Nanda-Ree
This Jedi Knight accompanied Obi-Wan Kenobi to Balamak, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, to help destroy an experimental communications jamming facility built by the Separatists. (SWI65)

Janren, Darred
This man, a native of the planet Naboo, married Sola Naberrie shortly after the Battle of Naboo. Recognizing that the Naberrie name held power and respect among the citizens of Theed, the couple chose keep it as their family name. Darred and Sola had two daughters, Ryoo and Pooja. (SWDB)

Janse
A former sharpshooter, Janse was a native of the planet Ukio before joining the Alliance shortly before the Battle of Endor. He had been employed by BlasTech as a weapons design evaluator, and used his skills to help the Alliance as a scout and hunter. When he left BlasTech, he took with him a cache of A280 blaster rifles. He was part of the ground assault team that infiltrated the Empire's shield generator station on the Forest Moon of Endor. (CCG10)

Janse, Emily
This woman was an officer with the Mining Guild during the height of the New Order. She directed the operations of five mines within the province of House Reena, of Tapani Sector, and held a great deal of influence within the League of Tapani Freewords. Shortly before the Battle of Endor, Emily joined The Chamber in order to avoid paying tariffs on the output from her mines. (LOE)

Jansih, Karrinna
Mara Jade's alias when she worked as a serving girl on Phorliss. (EGC)

Janson
This Nharwaak CR90 corvette was operative during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE, TIEP)

Janson, Wes
A native of Taanab, Wes Janson joined the Alliance at Tierfon, and quickly showed his abilities as a pilot and sharpshooter. He gained True Gunner status while serving at Tierfon as an X-wing pilot in the Yellow Aces. It was while of Tierfon that Janson and Jek Porkins were forced to shoot down the rogue pilot Kiseek Doran. He came down with a strain of Hesken Fever just before the Battle of Yavin, and was unable to fly his X-Wing. Jek Porkins drew the duty of filling in for him, and the importance of this occurance - and Porkins' subsequent death over the first Death Star - haunted Janson ever after.

He managed to recover, and eventually became a member of Rogue Squadron, serving under Luke Skywalker at the Alliance's Echo Base on Hoth. He served as Wedge Antilles' gunner in the Battle of Hoth, and was known by the callsign of Rogue Five. When their snowspeeder crashed during the battle, both Wes and Wedge were forced to seek refuge in the gutted hull of a downed pirate freighter. The story of their survival and eventual rescue became the stuff of legends among the fighter pilots of the Alliance, and rumors of Wes' death on Hoth abounded. Wedge often explained to new recruits that Wes actually died on Hoth, only to see their reactions when he suddenly appeared to teach them their next lesson. Note that Marvel Comics' Star Wars issue 78 indicates that Wes was killed by a band of cutthroat scavengers who arrived on Hoth to clean up after the Battle of Hoth.

In the years which followed, Janson remained a fixture of Rogue Squadron, serving as the team's comic relief with Hobbie Klivian. He was reported dead when the Rogues were ambushed at Distna, while searching for evidence of Pulsar Station, but he was rescued by Booster Terrik and the Errant Venture and returned to Coruscant. After recovering from his injuries, Wes rejoined the squadron during the hunt for Prince-Admiral Krennel. Like most of the veterans of Rogue Squadron, Janson retired shortly after the negotiation of peace between the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant. However, his retirement did not last for long. With the arrival of the Yuuzhan Vong in the galaxy, Wes renewed his commission as Captain and took command of the Taanab Yellow Aces Squadron. The all-volunteer squadron participated in several missions after the Battle of Ebaq, including the rescue of Pash Cracken and Judder Page from Selvaris.

In the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, Wes remained a civilian pilot, although he maintained his close friendship with Wedge Antilles. Thus, when Antilles began assembling pilots to serve on Rakehell Squadron's mission to disable Centerpoint Station, Wes jumped at the chance to climb into a starfighter's cockpit again. He served as Rakehell Twelve on the mission, bringing his usual flippant attitude to a dangerous mission. (E5, HTTE, MTS, XWRS, WS, IR, DTO, EL2, MC78, UF, PH, LF7)

Janss, Alto
This woman was a smuggler who often stopped over at Tolea Biqua, in orbit around the planet Genarius, during the final years of the Old Republic. Although not a regular, Janss was often found at the Near Vacuum cantina during her stopovers, with her two lieutenants acting as bodyguards. She moved her goods from planet to planet in her customized starship, the Long Spoon. Just after the onset of the Clone Wars, Janss found a strange module among the cargo she was moving through Tolea Biqua. It was later learned that the cargo module had been placed there by the Black Queen, who was trying to undermine the efforts of a group of Jedi Knights who were working for Lanius Qel-Bertuk.

Januul
see Hovsgol Januul (APS)

Janwuine
This Gand word was used to describe any member of their species who had distinguished themselves so much that they were allowed to speak of themselves in the first person. It was considered rude and vulgar by the Gand to refer to oneself as "I" without having enough of a history and impact on other Gand that everyone recognized them without their given name. Those Gand that earned the title of janwuine often had a mate chosen for them. (BW, IJ, NEGA)

Janwuine-jika
This Gand ceremony was performed for those Gand who distinguish themselves from the norm, and were deemed janwuine. (BW)

This was the name of the Bay of Conquest, during the last centuries of the Old Republic. The name came from its location between the city of Phelar and the Ja highlands. It was renamed after the rise of the Empire. (GORW)

Japor
This small tree was native to the planet Tatooine. It was coveted for the palm-sized nuts that grew from its branches. The nuts were contained within a hard shell. When split apart, the halves of the shell were often carved into jewelry. Snippets of japor were carved by young children with tribal runes, and used as good luck charms or for protection from harm. Others were carved as love charms, in the hope of winning the affections of another. Note that the Star Wars: Complete Visual Dictionary indicates that japor carvings were made from the ivory-like wood of the main tree, not the shells of the nuts.

The wood of the japor tree, sometimes referred to as Japor ivory, was extremely rare, and any form of furniture that was made from this wood was considered valuable. (E1, E1N, E3N, CVD, DD01)

Japor Ivory
This was a term used to describe the wood that was harvested from the japor tree. (DD01)

It was armed with ten quad-laser cannons and a tractor beam projector. (FOP)

Jar k'osa
This word from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "large." (GPB)

Jara'
This was a common, shortened name for the Bar Jaraniz, located on Nar Shaddaa during the height of the New Republic. (PM)

Jaraana
This was one of many Tarasin irstats found on the planet Cularin, during the final years of the Old Republic. Just after the onset of the Clone Wars, the home of the Jaraana was set ablaze after Mother Morad'Ka refused to follow a human Jedi away from the tribe. A group of freelance adventurers, working for Thaedius Creed, helped rescue several of the Jaraana Tarasin and assisted in putting out the fires before any more damage could occur. (FOC1)

Jaradu, Sofassu
This was a noted individual in the history of the Murachaun race. (GORW)

Jarael
This Arkanian Offshoot woman lived in a remote section of the Junction, known as the Last Resort, on the planet Taris, during the years surrounding the Mandalorian Wars. Distinguished by her alabaster skin, white hair, and pointed ears, Jarael was an expert with the neural stinger she used to defend her territory. Her given name was actually Edessa, but she had forgotten it over the years during which she worked for the slaver organization known as the Crucible. Jarael had been captured by the Crucible as a child, and was forced to fight for her life. When she showed promise, her handler assigned her to work as a trainer for the other captive children. Many of those beings Jarael trained were later sold off to the gladiator arenas that were managed by The Franchise. It was The Camper who helped Jarael escape from the Crucible, and the pair went underground for many years, although Jarael was forever marked by the tattoos she had been given. Near the end of the Mandalorian Wars, Jarael was forced to flee Taris with The Camper, Marn Hierogryph, and Zayne Carrick, after the former Jedi Padawan was accused of the murders that were actually committed by several Jedi Masters including Zayne's Master, Lucien Draay. Jarael recognized the need to get Zayne away from Taris, but she resented the fact that Zayne's appearance destroyed her otherwise simple life. In a rant aimed at Zayne, she explained that The Camper had rescued her when she was younger, and that she had pledged her life to ensuring that The Camper was protected from his own enemies. Thus, she came to calling him Perero, since she respected and revered his inner strength and loyalty.

Despite her dislike of Zayne, Jarael agreed to Marn Hierogryph's plan to rescue the youth after they were caught by Valius Ying on the Rogue Moon. Posing as the Sith Lord that had been seen by the Jedi Masters in their visions of the future, Jarael was able to burst into the Jedi facilities on Taris and rescue Zayne. The group left Taris behind and set out on their own, adopting the roles of mercenaries.

During a stopover on Vanquo to acquire supplies, Jarael was captured by a group of Mandalorian soldiers, who believed she was a Jedi Knight after she impersonated one to scare off a group of scouts. She was transported to the planet Flashpoint, where she was turned over to Demagol for testing. Although Squint managed to keep her out of the main labs and away from Demagol, it was a brave rescue by Zayne and the renegade Mandalorian Rohlan Dyre that finally got Jarael and the other Jedi captives free.

The group fled to Ralltiir, where they hid out in the forests while gathering supplies and regaining their strength. Jarael had come to like Zayne, but felt that it would be better if she and The Camper found someplace quiet to settle down for a while. Zayne agreed, but was sad to watch them leave. Unfortunately, the assassin droid HK-24 had stowed away aboard the Last Resort, and tried to kill The Camper before T1-LB and Rohlan Dyre stepped in to destroy the droid. She was surprised by Rohlan's presence aboard the ship, but was glad for his help in getting The Camper to the ship's medical station. Although Rohlan was able to stabilize The Camper, Jarael recognized that the old man needed the attention of an Arkanian doctor. So, for the first time in her life, Jarael traveled to Arkania.

There, she was met with the social aggression of baseline Arkanians against Offshoots, but soon caught the attention of Lord Arkoh Adasca. She was taken in by Zawadi and her family, and agreed to let Zawadi help her gain access to Adascorp's headquarters, where she might get The Camper's blood analyzed. Unfortunately, the blood sample was recognized in the corporate database, and Jarael was detained by the corporate guards. Lord Adasca then approached her with an offer to help The Camper, an offer that she found she could not refuse when Adasca explained that The Camper had Balinquar's Virus. Lord Adasca told Jarael of The Camper's history with Adascorp, and vowed to everything he could to help the old man recover.

Jarael was kept separated from The Campet aboard the Arkanian Legacy, ostensibly because of the risk of contracting the virus. In reality, she was being held prisoner in order to force The Camper to complete the work he had abandoned at Adascorp many years before. To further the ruse, Adasca allowed Rohlan to freely roam the ship's other medical facilities, while Adasca hosted a sumptuous dinner for Jarael herself. During dinner, Adasca revealed that a blood sample taken from Jarael had revealed that her children could have the genetics of an Arkanian Pureblood, if she agreed to help him restore the Arkanian bloodlines.

Unfortunately, Jarael soon learned that Adasca's friendliness was actually a ruse, covering up his true motivations. She was allowed to be present when Adasca presented his specially-bred exogorths to representatives of the Old Republic, the Revanchists, and the Mandalorians, and it was at this meeting that she was reunited with Zayne Carrick. She kissed him squarely on the lips, using the stunned silence of Lord Adasca to alert Zayne to what was happening to The Camper. Then, as the negotiations began, Jarael received a communication from The Camper, who was supposedly under the control of the Arkanians. He explained that he was going to have to do something to eliminate the exogorths, and ordered her to work with Zayne and Rohlan to escape from the Arkanian Legacy.

Despite this warning, Jarael was unprepared when The Camper took off in the Last Resort, using the exogorth control system to draw them away with him into the deepest reaches of the galaxy. He explained that he hoped to strand the creatures somewhere, so that they would not be a threat to the galaxy. As he jumped into hyperspace, Jarael was overcome with grief, but escaped from the Arkanian Legacy with Zayne and Rohlan Dyre. They stopped at Taris to allow Zayne a chance to locate Marn Hierogryph, but were surprised when the pair left the planet aboard the Mar'eyce. With the help of the Moomo Brothers and the Moomo Williwaw, the group managed to track Zayne and Marn to Jebble, and arrived just in time to rescue them from the assembled rakghouls that had been created by Celeste Morne. As they blasted away from the planet, they witnessed Cassus Fett's brutal attack on Jebble, which destroyed the rakghoul hordes and rendered the planet a frozen wasteland.

When Zayne asked for help in transporting Celeste Morne's body to the Sanctum of the Exalted, Jarael agreed to serve as a stand-in for Morne upon their arrival at Odryn. She admitted that she had been somewhat lost without The Camper in her life, and agreed to help Zayne because he was the first to ask for her assistance. After delivering Lord Dreypa's Oubliette - which contained the body of the real Celeste Morne - to the Sanctum, Jarael followed the orders of the caretaker droids and left Odryn behind. However, she ordered the Moomo Brothers to travel to the edge of the star system and wait several days for Zayne and Marn to catalogue what they found in the Sanctum, then return to pick them up. Their arrival corresponded with Feln's attempt to kill Zayne, prompting the Jedi Master to destroy the Sanctum of the Exalted to prevent Zayne from exposing its secrets. Zayne feared that any evidence he might have had on The Covenant had been destroyed, but Jarael revealed that the Moomo Brothers had stolen several Sith artifacts as payment for their part in the mission. While Zayne set off to follow the Moomos and attempt to meet with Lady Krynda Draay, Jarael traveled on her own for a while. She eventually rejoined Rohlan and Marn when they tried to scam the Metellos Exchange. Posing as Captain Brackel, Jarael and her comrades hoped to make off with the auction proceeds from falsely reselling the rights to Italbos. Their plans were thwarted when Nunk Plaarvin recognized that "Professor Gryphomarn" was actually Marn Hierogryph, and he sent his thugs after them. Jarael and Rohlan, who was posing as a native of Italbos, were taken into custody, and only the timely reappearance of Zayne Carrick saved Marn from being imprisoned.

Jarael and Rohlan were taken to a remote observatory that had been converted into an execution chamber. They were chained inside the observatory, which had been altered so that the light of the rising sun was focused inside the chamber, and would literally cook them alive. With no other choices left to them, Rohlan called on Jarael to calm down and use her inner strength to figure out a way to get free. She suddenly drew upon the power of the Force, which she used to break their chains and help them escape. She was unsure how she had touched the Force, although Rohlan knew that she would need to learn how to control it in the future, and asked Zayne to help her learn more about the Force. She nearly did not have a chance to explore her new-found ability when the group discovered the derelict luxury liner Chancellor Fillorean, which had been attacked by the Sith adept Toki Tollivar. The Bimm tried to kill Slyssk and Jarael, but was killed by Zayne and Rohlan before he could do any real damage. Their travels then took them to Jervo's World, where Marn Hierogryph hoped to blackmail The Franchise out of a few credits by exposing tampering with the results of the swoopdueling races that were staged at the station. Marn tried to get Jarael to place bets for him, but she refused, much to the Snivvian's dismay. She explained that the fighting that occurred during the races made her feel uncomfortable, since she would have been betting on someone's life. Marn tried to explain that no one ever died during swoopduels, but this did little to make Jarael feel better about it.

In the days that followed, Jarael began to experience strange visions in which she was confronted by Zayne, Malak, Rohlan, Demagol, and Arkoh Adasca, with each man demanding to know when she was going to determine who she was and what she was meant to become. Upon waking from one of these visions, Jarael overheard Zayne talking with T1-LB about his situation at the swoopduels. She revealed to Zayne that, as part of Marn's scheme to con The Franchise, she had uncovered evidence of tampering with the live broadcasts of individual races. She had obtained a recording of Goethar Kleej's retirement speech, which did not match what was actually shown on the video feeds on Jervo's World.

When Darca destroyed their pursuers, Jaren explained that she had been an ambassador among her own people, sent to the bikers to negotiate a truce. Ament had been her protection, but both were threatened with death and chased away just before they met up with Darca. However, after Jaren showed Darca how to call forth images from their campfire, Darca used the same skill to call forth images about Ament.

(FTD)

Jari'kyn
This young Twi'leki female worked as a fashion designer for the House of Vanar. She was fired when Mara Jade rejected the wedding gown design submitted by Vanar, despite the fact that Vanar had done most of the design himself. Mara encountered her in a lower level of Coruscant's Imperial City, and realized that Jari'kyn had nothing to do with the skimpy outfit Vanar had submitted. Mara hired Jari'kyn on the spot, asking her to design not only the wedding dress but the bridesmaids' dresses as well. Jari'kyn agreed to the proposal, and set to work on the dresses. As she was delivering them to the wedding chapel, Jari'kyn was ambushed by Anlys Takkar and her escorts. Among the escorts was Banner Sumptor, who balked when Anlys ordered him to kill Jari'kyn so that they could steal the dress and disrupt the wedding. Banner refused to follow the order, and shot the rest of the escort. Jari'kyn grabbed a thick piece of pipe and whacked Anlys on the head, rendering her unconscious.

Shortly after the farm was destroyed in a brief struggle, Jarn was approached by two thugs from Jorrn Kresh's organization, who told the old man that he had to pay "protection money."

(TFNR, SWJ13)

Jarril
This former smuggling acquaintence of Han Solo plied the Smuggler's Run during the years after the collapse of the Empire.

He became mixed up in Dolph's plans to use the Run to transport his remote detonation droids to Coruscant, and starting seeing his fellow smugglers disappear. They made a great deal of money before becoming lost, and Jarril himself went to Coruscant to track down Han. Jarril hoped that Han would unofficially investigate the circumstances, and met him in the Crystal Jewel. Han initially declined the offer, and during their talks Dolph's droids exploded in the Senate Assembly Chamber. Han left to see what had happened, and Jarril returned to his ship. His co-pilot, Seluss, was nowhere to be found, so Jarril began his pre-flight preparations. Some of Dolph's men intercepted him, and took over his ship, the Spicy Lady.

This young Rutian Twi'lek was one of the residents of The Enclave, during the era of the Clone Wars. A youthful male with courage to spare, Jarrti became the settlement's unofficial head of security, and formed a small defense force to protect the other residents from outsiders. Despite the fact that he appreciated being rescued from slavers by Jedi Master Vhiin Thorla, Jarrti believed that Thorla was too passive to adequately protect the residents of The Enclave, and needed to fight back against the slavers. However, in regular sparring matches to maintain their skills, Master Thorla regularly defeated Jarrti in hand-to-hand combat. In this way, Thorla was able to channel the youth's enthusiasm into defending The Enclave, instead of launching a futile war against the slavers. Unfortunately, when Jacynith brought a group of freelance agents who were working for the Jedi Order to The Enclave, she also inadvertently led a group of slavers to the hidden location. Jarrti and his security forces were dispatched to eliminate the slavers, and worked with the Jedi agents to ensure the safety and security of The Encalave. (TS)

Jarvee was part of the crew of the supply vessel Wookiee Gunner, which Altis had hired to assist with relief missions to planets that were ravaged by the conflicts of the Clone Wars. On a mission to Yarille, Master Altis diverted his crew to JanFathal, where he sensed the trouble that led up to the Workers' Uprising. Master Altis, along with Callista Masana and Geith Eris, agreed to work with the clone troopers aboard the warship Leveler to rescue Hallena Devis on JanFathal, but he ordered Jarvee and the others aboard the Wookiee Gunner to contineue on to Yarille. Before they reached the planet, however, Jarvee was alerted to the fact that the Leveler had jumped away from the planet, and was stranded in the Poressi System. She and the others aboard the Wookiee Gunner followed the warship, and offered their assistance in getting it ready to return to JanFathal. Jarvee then made contact with Master Altis, providing those who were stranded on JanFathal with a status update. In order to get the Leveler operational again, Jarvee and the other Jedi drew upon the Force to integrate themselves with the ship's onboard systems. The Jedi could "see" the entire ship as if it were a universe of machines rather than living beings, and could subtly manipulate systems through telekinesis. By using their unique abilities, Jarvee and the Jedi were able to "pilot" the Leveler through hyperspace and return to JanFathal. (CWNOP)

Jarvis, Alendar
This man was a reporter for the New Order Progressive, and covered events that occurred on Coruscant during the Galactic Civil War. He was also something of a philosopher, and saw the New Order as a newarly perfect form of galactic government. He felt that the Alliance was a dangerous threat to the stability of society, and that it strove only to restore the corruption and rot of the Old Republic.

It was Jarvis who reported on the death of Grand Moff Tarkin and several of his aides, shortly after the destruction of the planet Alderaan. According to Jarvis' report, Tarkin was traveling to the Tallaan Shipyard when his shuttle malfunctioned and exploded.

It was on Truuine that Kith Kark tried to convince Master Jassa that he was ready to being the Jedi training. Jassa ignored the Gotal twice, because Kith Kark only wanted to learn the Force as a hobby or task, not because the Force called him. Nearly a year after his first visit, Kith Kark returned to Truuine a third time. He had finally discovered that the Force wasn't something you just obtained, but was something that had to be felt and and obeyed. Jassa understood that Kith Kark had finally been touched by the Force, and agreed to train him. (TOJC)

Jassar tried to join him, and ended up interrupting a struggle between his father and Darth Kruhl. Although strong, Jassar was no match for the Sith Lord's command of the Dark Side of the Force. Darth Kruhl easily cut Jassar down, before turning on Rikkar-Du and killing him as well. (SWLR)

Jasse Heart
This was an extremely valuable gemstone. (FOP)

Jasserak Engagement
This was the term used to describe the stalemate that occurred on the planet Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars, in which the forces of the Old Republic and the Confederacy of Independent States struggled for control of the bota fields on Drongar. Neither side could use massive firepower or huge troops movements to attack the other side, as the bota was sensitive to many outside stimuli. Too much laser fire often set the bota field afire, while tramping it underfoot left nothing but a slimy mess in its place. For this reason, the fighting of the Jasserak Engagement was highly targeted and surgical in its methodology, and neither side made much ground for many months. This did not mean that the fighting was timid, as evidenced by the near-continual work performed at Republic Mobile Surgical Units and the debris piles formed by damaged battle droids. The fighting took a strange turn about two years after the Battle of Geonosis when Separatist forces launched a massive attack near Rimsoo Seven, destroying the nearby bota fields and forcing the RMSU to pack up and move with little notice. (MBS)

However, before Jango could capture Fust and make his escape, the Jaster's Legacy was destroyed by one of the prison's Firespray-class patrol ships.

Jaub, Niev
This Sullustan was an honest trader who did a large volume of business on Nar Shaddaa. He and his ship, the Bnef Nlle, were on the Smugger's Moon when Admiral Greelanx began his attack. Because of his business ties, and because Nar Shaddaa supported a large contingent of Sullustans, Jaub joined the fight. He got caught in no-man's-land when he mistakenly followed Falan Iniro out of hiding before the rest of Nar Shaddaa's defense forces were ready. Jaub saw Iniro and the Take That! destroyed by the mistake. Jaub managed to take out a few TIE Fighters that launched from the Carrack-class ships that made up the Imperial picket line before sustaining damage himself. Rather than die without fighting back, Jaub piloted his small freighter - the Bnef Nlle - on a collision course with the Vigilance. The impact destroyed the smaller ship and killed Jaub, but the cruiser was defenseless after losing its shields. (THG)

Jaunty Cavalier
This YT-series freighter was owned and operated by the Wookiee Rufarr, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Rufarr and his crew were implicated as radical members of the Freedom movement, when Molierre Cundertol employed them to "kidnap" him and bring him to Lwhekk to be enteched. In order to ensure the secrecy of his actions, Cundertol deliberatly sabotaged the Jaunty Cavalier, casuing it to explode upon exiting hyperspace near Bakura. Rufarr and his entire crew were killed in the explosion, while Molierre managed to escape in an emergency pod. (FH2)

Jauxson

More than 2,000 Baobab employees were killed, and more than 100 Baobab merchant ships were damaged or destroyed. An investigation by the Galactic Senate revealed that the explosion was not an act of sabotage, as inferred by Baobab, but a suicide attempt. Further investigation revealed that Javeq had embezzled almost five million credits from Xizor Transport, despite the operation's notoriously tight security. The Baobab Merchant Fleet appealed the Senate's decision, but was never recompensed. Javeq himself left behind a wife and two children, who were supported by Prince Xizor himself. (HNN4)

It was technically part of Mugaari Space, and served as the Republic's primary trade center for their dealings with the Mugaari. After the Mugaari had a falling out with the Republic, most of them left Javin to return to Mugaar. (WOA33)

Javin, Andevor
This man was the noted author of Carving the Republic: The Real Story of Count Dooku. (HNN4)

Javin, Andor
This reporter for the TriNebulon News agency was credited with discovering the true identity of the newsnet rogue Cynabar. He was known for his investigative, often confrontational style of journalism, including the revelation that the Shrines of Kooroo were actually ancient communications devices. Javin also reported that Klaggus Purgato survived the assault by the IG-88 assassin droids which wiped out Holowan Mechanicals. Javin also reported to have discovered 8,000-year-old Sullustan cave drawings that predicted the rise of the Empire. (SWJ8, SWJ13, FTD, SWJ10)

Javin Sector
Located near the Anoat and Yarith Sectors in the area known as the Greater Javin, the Javin Sector was based on the original boundaries of Mugaari Space. During the early years of the New Order, the Empire established outpost station D-34 there. Following the Battle of Hoth, the Imperial Fleet tried to drive the fleeing Alliance ships through the Javin Sector and past D-34, from which the Empire could destroy the ships. (TIE, WOA33)

Javis
This planet, the primary world in the Javis System of Tapani Sector, was part of the holdings of House Mecetti during the New Order. (LOE)

Javis Tyrr Presents
This regular news broadcast was hosted by Javis Tyrr, during the years that followed the Swarm War. Tyrr rose to prominence after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, when he began following the Jedi Knights who were experiencing strange Force-related psychoses. His reports earned him a following, and spawned the series of special reports entitled Javis Tyrr Presents: The Jedi Among Us. (FJ3)

Javis Tyrr Presents: The Jedi Among Us
This series of half-hour news specials was hosted by Javis Tyrr, and was aired in the wake of the strange events surrounding Valin and Jysella Horn. Many of the early shows focused on the actions of the two Jedi when they began to experience Force-related psychoses and caused damage to public citizens and property, and took advantage of growing anti-Jedi sentiment by posing questions about the safety of the public in a world where the Jedi Order was not controlled by the government. Later shows focused on the history of the Jedi Order, in an attempt to show some measure of partiality. These shows drew poor ratings, prompting Tyrr's producers to ask for more "lively" themes for upcoming shows. (FJ2)

Javis-12
This asteroid was one of the largest in the Mestra System asteroid field, located in the Minos Cluster. It was roughly egg-shaped, and measures about 400 kilometers at its widest point. The asteroid no longer revolves around its axis, thanks to specially-placed repulsors. This keeps the main living areas on the far side of the asteroid, away from the rest of the asteroid belt. This protects the living areas from asteroid and meteorite hits. Javis-12 orbits the Mestra System's star once every 611 local days. The Minos-Mestra Corporation's local headquarters were located on this asteroid, and the system's only starport was located here. The starport was a conglomerate of domes and caves ranging across and below the surface of the asteroid. (GG6)

Javriel
This man was one of the survivors of the Outbound Flight Project. About two years before the project's remains were discovered by a Chiss-led expedition, Javriel's mind snapped and he took the entire nursery hostage. Only the timely efforts of Evlyn Tabory and her uncle, Jorad Pressor, kept Javriel from doing any harm to the children. (SQ)

Javyar's Cantina
This cantina was located in the Lower City of Taris, during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)

Jawa
This was another name for the Jawan, or Jawaese, language. (RFDV)

Jawa
This was the Signal Operating Instruction codeword used by the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic, on the day they landed troops on the planet Praesitlyn to liberate the Intergalactic Communications Center from the Separatists, some two and a half years after the Battle of Geonosis. The countersign was Eclipse. (JT)

Jawa
A race of diminutive, desert-dwelling scrap merchants native to Tatooine, these repulsive little creatures had large, glowing eyes which peered out from dirty cloaks. Jawas were distinguished by their smell, which was based on the unusual mixture of chemicals used to clean their clothing and help the fabric retain body moisture. Jawas also didn't bathe, seeing it as a waste of precious water. This also allowed individual Jawas to learn about others of their species, as their scents revealed information about their health and feelings.

The Jawas used a randomly variable language, which made it hard to interpret what they were saying. The ability to speak with a Jawa was further impaired by the fact that Jawas used pheromones to add emphasis to their otherwise meaningless syllables.

They were inherently cowardly, having evolved to survive in an evironment where every other creature was larger and more dangerous. They were communal beings, working together in small bands to collect anything and everything in order to repair it for resale to any and all buyers.

It was believed by some xenologists that Jawas had human origins, although their exact origins were lost over time. A handful of experts believed that Jawas shared a common lineage with the Sandpeople of Tatooine, as both seemed to have genetic markers in common with the exitinct Kumumgah race. Still others believed that Jawas descended from a species of rodents. Very few beings ever saw what a Jawa looked like under their cloaks, further adding to the mystery of their race. All that could be outwardly seen were the eyes of a Jawa, which glowed with an orange light that was magnified by small gemstones set into their hoods. These stones served to protect the Jawa's eyes from the harsh sunlight of Tatooine's twin suns.

Most non-Jawas regarded the Jawas as scavengers and thieves, a description that actually pleased most Jawas.

As a people, the Jawas based much of their culture on their families and clans. Their matriarchal society was controlled by female shamans who seemed to have some kind of connection to the Force, which they used to perform certain "magic" to ensure the success of their clans. The central activities of Jawa life were trading and scavenging. In fact, it was not uncommon for Jawa clans to barter their sons and daughters as marriage merchandise, since this was a simple way to ensure cultural and genetic diversity.

The normal body temperature of a Jawa was 116 degrees, which resulted in a high metabolism. In order to help dissipate some of their body heat, as well as to hide their identity, Jawas covered their faces with moistened sand. This shroud often attracted several species of flying insects, adding to the Jawa's disgusting appearance. (E4, COJ, SOT, P, NEGA, E4VG)

Jawa Beer
This was a variety of cheap, quickly-brewed beer that was created by the Jawas. (MTS)

Jawa Droid Traders
This was the name used to describe the loose union of Jawa clans that sold and traded droids on Tatooine. (ZHR)

Jawa Heights
Named for the Jawas that congregated in the shade it provided, this tableland was located several hundred kilometers west of Anchorhead, on the planet Tatooine. (IWST, E4VG)

Jawa Ionization Gun
This gun was one of the most famous symbols of the Jawa race. The ionization gun had many uses, primary of which was the immobilization of a droid. The weapon discharges an intense ion beam which ionizes the droid's circuits, rendering it temporarily unable to function. The gun was created from any blaster rifle, which was gutted of its laser components and modified to accept an ion accelerator created by the Jawas themselves. This accelerator was made from a droid restraining bolt wired to an ignition accu-accelerator. (CFG)

Jawa Juice
This was a brewed beverage that was popular among many cultures, including the Ryn. Dexter Jettster claimed that the best recipe for Jawa Juice came from a group of Ryn settlers he met in the Corporate Sector, and was brewed from freshly-roasted ardees seeds. Jettster claimed that the drink was so good, he acquired the recipe as payment for a shipload of supplies and equipment that the Ryn needed to defend themselves from corporate raiders and the Espos that patrolled the Corporate Sector. Jawa Juice was served hot. This form of Jawa Juice became the inspiration for an alcoholic version that became popular at the Bantha Traxx establishment on Lianna, during the height of the New Order. Note that the adaptation of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, written by Patricia Wrede, indicates that this beverage was called ardee. (OWS, E2Y, WSV)

Jawa Juice
This mixed, alcoholic drink was popular at the Bantha Traxx establishment on Lianna, during the height of the New Order. The origins of Jawa Juice can be traced to Dex's Diner, on the planet Coruscant, more than twenty years before the Battle of Yavin. It was considered by many beings to be an acquired taste, being bitter and sharp. It also provided a boost of energy when consumed, an effect that seemed to increase as a being drank more. (WSV, SWDB, LFCW)

Jawa Raceway
This was one of many deep-desert locations found on the planet Tatooine. (TG)

Jawa Trade Language
Developed by the Jawas of Tatooine, this language was primarily used when bartering with an individual from another tribe. It was used to eliminate any tribe-specific dialects and the problems they might incur during negotiations. (SWRPG2)

Jawa Trader
This slang term was coined by the human population of the planet Tatooine, and came to refer to any dishonest being, or a being who sold stolen or damaged merchandise. (GG7, OWS)

Jawa Traders
This scrap and salvage business was located in Mos Eisley, on Tatooine. It was started by the Jawa named Aguilae, but she quickly found that she couldn't part with her merchandise. So, she hired the Squib named Mace Windu to act as her salesman. (GG7)

Jawaese
This was another name for the Jawan language. (GPB)

Jawan
This was the name of the harsh, guttural language of the Jawa race of Tatooine. To most beings, this language was little more than a mishmash of nonsense syllables. This was to due to the fact that Jawas almost always added emphasis to their words with subtle pheromones. Much of this language, which was also known as Jawaese, was based on the idea of clans and ancestry, and the Jawa language contained some forty-three unique words for familial relationships and lineage. (E1A5, SOT, NEGA, GPB)

Jawaswag
This was the nickname given by Gavin Darklighter to his R2 unit. The meant that Gavin believed any Jawa would love to steal the droid. However, when the droid was actually accosted by a group of Jawas, it thwarted their attempts to steal it and actually injured one of them. From that point on, Gavin called it Toughcatch. This name was shortened to Catch for ease of use in combat. About twenty years after the Battle of Endor, Catch was given the R2-Delta upgrade. (BW, DTO)

Jawenko Lava Beast
This unusual creature was native to the lava flows of the planet Mustafar. It could live in the boiling rivers and pools of lava that covered the planet's surface, and consumed many raw forms of metals and ores. The native Mustafarians discovered that the jawenko lava beast could refine xonolite into a liquid form that had strangely euphoric effects when injected into the bloodstream. This drug, which was exported to Nkllon for further refinement, became known as Nkllonian Lava Extract, despite the fact that it was produced on Mustafar. (OWS)

Jawiin
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 meant "innocence" - or, more literally, "snowy field". (GCG)

Jaw-wag
This was a slang term used to describe idle gossipping or rumors. (DSTR)

Jax
This human Freelie was one of the band that captured C-3PO, R2-D2, Luke Skywalker, and Leia Organa on Vorzyd 5. (CSWEA)

Jax
This was a common name among Corellian individuals. It was given to both males and females, which often caused some confusion when meeting an individual for the first time. (CN1)

Jax
This clone trooper cadet was one of many who were being trained to serve as clone troopers, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Cadet Jax was stationed aboard the cruier Endurance, where he and other clones were given first-hand experience aboard a working ship during wartime. Jax befriended a fellow cadet named Lucky, who seemed to be something of a loner. When the Endurance experienced a devastating explosion in its reactor core, Jax and Lucky were able to reach an escape pod and blast away from the ship, although the pod deployed incorrectly and its maneuvering system was damaged, causing it to move off in a different direction. Jax and the other cadets inside the escape pod were dismayed to learn that Lucky was actually Boba Fett, who had tried to kill Jedi Master Mace Windu aboard the Endurance, in an attempt to avenge the death of his father, Jango Fett. Fett was rescued by Aurra Sing, who ordered the other cadets to be set adrift and abandoned in space. Jax tried to calm his fellow cadets, but was as relieved as the others were when they were rescued by Republic search vessels. (CWTV42)

Jax
This Thaereian man was part of the small gang of spies that assisted Jaris Vollrath on his mission to assassinate Gavid Lermyn, on Cularin, shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars. Jax and his comrades Garee, Kowen, and Yurge, were discussing their plans when they were overheard by Naja Delan, and they set out to capture the Duros snoop. Unfortunately, Delan and his friends were intercepted by a group of freelance agents, who ensured that the youths survived the encounter. For their part, Jax and his friends claimed that they merely thought the youths had stolen something from their speeder. However, the freelance agents determined that something was going on, and turned the spies over to the Bayonard Peace and Security agency. (JCT1)

Jax, Carnor
This former Royal Imperial Guard was a member of the training class the produced Kir Kanos. Jax himself was the child of a member of the Thyrsian Sun Guard who was killed by Darth Sidious. Jax was originally trained as a stormtrooper, serving as a member of Blackhole's elite units before being chosen for training as a Royal Imperial Guard. Jax often bested Kir Kanos in the training battles fought in The Squall, and defeated Alum Frost in a fight to the death on Yinchorr. The battle was staged by Emperor Palpatine himself, meant to determine the more loyal warrior. In the wake of Palpatine's death at Endor, Jax began to envision himself as a new Dark Lord and ruler of the Empire. He established a power base, and bribed one of Palpatine's primary clone scientists into creating defective clones for the Emperor. Jax then began wearing a suit of armor which was a modified version of the Royal Guards' armor, with a black faceplate and cloak. When Palpatine's clones were destroyed at Byss, he made his bid for control of the Empire by creating the Imperial Interim Ruling Council and assuming its leadership. He also set out to exterminate the remaining Royal Imperial Guards, but Kir Kanos managed to escape and took with him the secret of Jax's treason. Jax learned of Kanos' survival, and knew that he would have to eliminate the threat he posed. When Kanos was discovered on Phaeda, Jax ordered Colonel Shev to stand down and let his own forces deal with Kanos, but Shev ignored the orders. In the end, Kanos was able to escape to the planet Yinchorr. Jax pursued him, but was unable to stop General Wessel from falling for another of Kanos' tricks. Jax fled the Emperor's Revenge with Blim and a squadron of hand-picked, black-armored stormtroopers, landing on Yinchorr to hunt down Kanor. The entire squadron of troopers was eliminated by Kanos, leaving Jax to face him in one-on-one combat. They met in The Squall, where Jax had defeated Kanos during their training. Jax made sure he had all of Kanos' escapes covered, including the placement of Blim in a nearby position to shoot Kanos if the other man got an advantage. After Blim was eliminated by Mirith Sinn and Sish Sadeet, Jax nearly defeated Kir Kanos. However, the other man was too strong for Jax. In a short duel, Kanos drove the blade of his staff through Jax's breastplate, piercing his heart and killing him instantly. (CE, OWS)

Jax, Hukta
This Gamorrean was one of the best swoop racers on the planet Manaan, during the era of the Great Sith War. He was once the sector champion, until he was beaten by a Jedi Knight. (KOTOR)

Jaxa
This smuggler worked with Bettle, and assisted Mara Jade in creating a distribution system for the glitterstim spice mined on Kessel after Moruth Doole was removed from power. Jaxa and Bettle operated from their starship, the Mallixer, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (JASB, SWJ10, OWS)

Jaxal, Solo
This was the alias used by Han Solo, shortly after his marriage to Leia Organa, when he accompanied his wife to Tatooine to intercept a group of Imperial agents. Jaxal was a Devaronian, and Han was disguised with his own pair of horns. (TG)

Jaxson
This young man, distinguished by a flat head and square jaw that gave him a droid-like appearance, was living in Anchorhead, on the planet Tatooine, during the years surrounding the Battle of Yavin. Jaxson was friends with the Fixer, Deak, and Windom "Windy" Starkiller, and often hung out with them at Tosche Station. Like most other youths of this generation, Jaxson planned to enter the Imperial Academy and become a starfighter pilot. Unfortunately, he had little experience as a pilot, and failed his entrance exams. Stranded on Tatooine, Jaxson told everyone he knew that he had changed him mind about the Academy, preferring instead to remain at home. He remained fiercely loyal to the Empire, however, and failed to reconcile the other youths' friendship with Biggs Darklighter, who was one of the rebel heroes of the Battle of Yavin. This attitude did not sit well with Luke Skywalker, who returned to Tatooine to attend a reunion in Biggs' honor. Skywalker's identity as another hero of the Battle of Yavin was a well-kept secret at the time, so Jaxson had no idea who he was, other than a friend of Biggs Darklighter. In the heat of an argument, Jaxson challenged Luke to a skyhopper race through the Needle in Beggar's Canyon. On the day of the race, Jaxson's skyhopper experienced several systems failures shortly before reaching the Needle, and the craft plunged to the ground. Skywalker's skyhopper experienced similar failures, forcing him to crash-land nearby. Luke managed to locate Jaxson's body, but was apprehended by the Trandoshan bounty hunter known as Bossk, who had used a pulse generator to bring their skyhoppers to the ground. Bossk was working for Jabba the Hutt, who wanted Skywalker as bait for a trap that would be set to capture Han Solo.

Jaxson pretended to be unconscious until Bossk left them alone, before rousing to work with Luke to find a way to escape. It was Skywalker who decided to use his lightsaber to attack Bossk and cover their escape, although the Trandoshan managed to destroy the only working skyhopper. The two men were forced to make their escape on foot, and were pursued by a group of Tusken Raiders. Luke remembered that Obi-Wan Kenobi had used a fake krayt dragon call to scare away the group of Tusken Raiders, and used his own version to drive them off. As they tried to reach safety, Luke slipped and fell at the edge of a cliff, and only Jaxson's quick reaction managed to save his life. Jaxson refused to make a big deal out of it, and Luke chose not to question his actions. They managed to reach safety when they met up with a search party led by Fixer and Leia Organa, who had accompanied Luke to Tatooine. The story of their rescue became the stuff of legend, at least from the descriptions told later by Windy and Deak. (RF3)

Jaxton, Brut
This man was a member of the Nova Scouts scouting service, although he retired shortly after the Battle of Endor. (GG8)

Jaxus
This planet orbited fairly close to its sun, but was still capable of supporting human life. (SN)

Jaxx, Karbo
This Rodian arms dealer and gunrunner was known to work alone. Few beings knew that Karbo Jaxx wasn't his real name. In fact, Karbo Jaxx was really Nian Lup. Karbo maintained a base of operation behind the waterfall which fed Telega Lake. Karbo worked almost exclusively in the Outer Rim. Karbo dealt often with the Alliance, and never betrayed them despite having no specific allegiance to the Alliance. He just recognized that the Alliance was a needy client which could afford his prices. (HAS)

Jaxxon
This member of the Lepi species - known scientifically as Lepus carnivorus - left his homeworld of Coachelle Prime at the age of twelve, and found work in several gangs, including a mercenary group on the planet Corus. After the gang broke up, Jaxxon spent time on Nar Shaddaa before saving up enough money to buy the Rabbit's Foot and setting out on his own. Problems with the ship forced Jaxxon to land on Aduba-3, where he was stranded for several months during the height of the New Order. On Aduba-3, he joined Han Solo and a rag-tag team of starfaring adventurers in order to defeat Serji-X Arrogantus. Jaxxon was nearly killed in the battle, and was saved at the last moment by Amaiza. He was busy telling her about his mother and 79 sibings, in an effort to impress her, during most of the fight. The pair decided to work together after the fight, and ran afoul of Valance the bounty hunter before escaping and returning to Aduba-3. (MC7, SWDB, GMR4)

Jay
This was the informal nickname used to describe the support droid J-9. (RC66)

Jayhawk
This man was the Captain of the Martinette, and leader of a gang of pirates which plied the spacelanes of Fakir Sector, near Masterhome, during the Galactic Civil War. The pirates were nearly wiped out when they attempted to waylay the crew of the Long Shot near Masterhome, but the Alliance ship was able to drive off the pirates. Jayhawk and his crew limped away from the battle more or less intact. (SWCP)

Jayl
This woman served as an administrative assistant to Mar Rugeyan, during the height of the Clone Wars. (RCTZ)

Jayme, Ivhin
This man grew up with parents who had a hands-off approach to raising him. This taught him to be open-minded about things, but he was never instilled with any drive or determination. At the age of 16, he lied about his age and joined the Imperial Armed Forces, and within a few short months he had been trained into a dangerous and formidable urban commando by the instructors on Merikon. After following the orders of his superiors and destroying a building, Jayme learned that there had been children inside, as well as enemy soldiers. He couldn't reconcile this indiscriminate loss of life, and went AWOL. He found himself drifting until he ended up on Rodaj, where he met T'Charek Haathi. She convinced him to join the Alliance, and Jayme was initially recruited into the Alliance's urban commando team. However, he balked at several missions and was moved to the Special Operations team, where he was reunited with Haathi as a shipjacker. (SWJ13, SWJ14)

Jayn
This male Phindian was one of the handful of bounty hunters and mercenaries who answered a strange call for skilled pilots, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. A veteran of many hunts, Jayn had planned to settle down with his beloved, Leilana, and move to the capital city of Laressa, but he knew that they didn't have enough credits to live there. So, he kept taking one more job, always explaining that it would be his last. Things never played out as Jayn had hoped, and Leilana eventually left him alone. Jayn had decided to answer the strange call for pilots, hoping that he could earn enough credits to finally settle down. Unknown to Jayn and the other pilots who arrived at Iope, the call had been put out by the Imperial spy known as X-7, who was hoping to find a pilot to help him eliminate Luke Skywalker. The pilots were also unaware that they were not only competing for the job, they were competing for their lives, because X-7 would only take the pilot who survived a dogfight. Jayn's ship, the Leilana's Dagger, was quickly disabled by X-7, and without engines to give him an escape, Jayn was quickly killed when X-7 destroyed the ship. (RF4)

Jaytee
This young man was a contemporary of Alex Winger, during her education on the planet Garos IV. (SWJ2)

Jayx
This man was a security officer, working for the Imperial government of the planet Chibias during the early years of the New Republic.

Jayzaa
This was the alias adopted by Jedi Master Aayla Secura when she traveled to the planet Anzat with Jedi Master Tholme, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. Jayzaa was an itinerent mechanic who was supposedly requested to travel to Anzat to meet a Weequay Separatist, but couldn't seem to locate him. This alias, along with a few drinks at Maggot's Cantina, allowed her to learn that former Jedi Master Sora Bulq had leased a private docking bay at the Anzat Spaceport, and refused to talk to any non-Anzati. (RT)

Jazbina
This world was known for its luxurious aromatic baths and its valuable sun crystals. Luke Skywalker was sent to Jazbina shortly after the Battle of Yavin, on a diplomatic mission to sway the Jazbinans to join the Alliance. However, the planet was solidly aligned with the Empire, which paid a high price for the sun crystals. It was the homeworld of the Jazbinan race. (VQ)

Jazbinan
This race of feline humanoids was native to the planet Jazbina. They were loyal to the Empire during the Galactic Civil War, since the Empire paid high prices for the sun crystals they mined. (VQ)

Jazt

J'ber
This was the term used by the Gorothites to describe a clan. Roughly translated, the term meant "extended family." All members of a j'ber were connected by blood or honor, and the members of each j'ber were forbidden to breed with Gorothites from another j'ber. (GSE, AE)

JBJ Mark I
This entry-level starship booster system was produced by MandalMotors, during the early years of the New Order.

A veteran of thirteen missions, including the build-up to the Battle of Mindor, Standro was nonetheless the first of the Republic' pilots killed at the Battle of Brentaal. (XWES, XWFT, LSSM)

JCOS-1
This was the designation used by the military personnel of the Galactic Alliance to describe Admiral Cha Niathal, after Chief of State Cal Omas was arrested. Niathal and Jacen Solo assumed a joint role in leading the Galactic Alliance, and the designation JCOS-1 referred to her role as the first Joint Chief of State. (LF8)

Jeban, Briika
This woman was one of the many members of the new generation of Mandalorians that were trained by Boba Fett, during the height of the New Republic. Briika's daughter, Dinua, completed her training as a warrior about a year before the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy, and their celebration at the Bar Jaraniz on Nar Shaddaa attracted the attention of Goran Beviin. The celebration was somewhat bittersweet, as Briika's mate had died the previous year. Beviin offered them a job when he accepted Udelen's contract to assassinate Tholote B'Leph, and the three of them earned a healthy paycheck for the job. Briika and Dinua continued to work with Beviin, and were part of the team formed by Boba Fett to meet with Nom Anor and the Yuuzhan Vong. They all agreed when Fett decided to turn the table on the alien invaders, using their missions as a way to gather intelligence. On New Holgha, however, they were apprehended by the subaltern Bur'lorr, who caught them allowing the Jedi Knight Kubariet to escape. The Mandalorians were able to overpower and kill the warrior, but Briika was badly stabbed in the fighting. Although Fett and Beviin were able to return her to Slave I, Briika died shortly afterward from massive bloodloss. With her dying breath, Briika made Beviin promise to take Dinua as his own child, as part of the gai bal manda. Briika's death did not go unnoticed, as Fett made Kubariet promise to make sure that the New Republic understood that a Mandalorian died saving the life of a Jedi Knight. (PM)

Jeban, Dinua
This woman was one of the many members of the new generation of Mandalorians that were trained by Boba Fett, during the height of the New Republic. The daughter of Briika Joban, Dinua completed her training as a warrior about a year before the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy. They celebrated at the Bar Jaraniz on Nar Shaddaa, although the party was bittersweet because her father had died during the prior year. The party attracted the attention of Goran Beviin. Beviin offered them a job when he accepted Udelen's contract to assassinate Tholote B'Leph, and the three of them earned a healthy paycheck for the job.

After Fett agreed to work for the Yuuzhan Vong, he told all his Mandalorian warriors that they not to harm anyone more than necessary. Their plan was to work for the alien invaders, but gather as much intelligence as they could to send to the New Republic. On New Holgha, they were ordered to kill a Jedi Knight, but Fett saw this as a chance to convince the Republic of their intentions. Unfortunately, they were caught by the Yuuzhan Vong subaltern Bur'lorr, who attacked them with wild abandon. Although Bur'lorr was killed, Briika suffered a fatal injury, and died before she could be taken to a medical facility. With her dying breath, she made Beviin agree to take fourteen-year-old Dinua as his own daughter under the gai bal manda. Beviin swore that he would, as one Mando'a to another.

They returned to Mandalore, where Dinua became an accepted member of Beviin's extended family, as well as one of the many Mandalorians who helped defend their homeworld from the Yuuzhan Vong. In the wake of the fighting, Dinua settled down with a man named Jintar, and together they raised a small family. Dinua, however, found it difficult to adjust to family life, instead preferring the mercenary work that many Mandalorians took on. They brought their children, Shalk and Briila, up as Mandalorians.

Jebbis
This being was one of the three Besalisk bouncers who were employed by Chieb'Kalla at the Fungus Pit cantina, during the final years of the Old Republic. Note that Twi'light Storm indicates that Jebbis and the other bouncers were members of the Ojom race, although the name actually describes a Besalisk. (TS)

Jebbiz'Foreanda
This aging, gray-skinned Twi'lek male was once a member of the head-clan of the Bashka settlement, on his homeworld of Ryloth, several years before the onset of the Clone Wars. Like the other members of this head-clan, Jebbiz was exiled into the Bright Lands when one of the other members passed away. Jebbiz was rescued from certain death by Vhiin Thorla, who had returned to Ryloth about a year before the Battle of Geonosis. Jebbiz then became one of the first members of The Enclave who was saved by Master Thorla. Although he was grateful for the Jedi Master's kindness in saving his life, Jebbiz often wondered why Vhiin did not take on a larger role as the leader of The Enclave. (TS)

Jebble
This ice-covered, Outer Rim planet was one many worlds that was on the front line of battle during the height of the Mandalorian Wars, some 3,963 years before the Battle of Yavin. Jebble was eventually captured by the Mandalorians, giving them a stronghold in the Outer Rim that the forces of the Old Republic were unable to break. Refugees from Jebble and other front-line worlds fled to planets like Vanquo, hoping to find solace and escape from the predations of the Mandalorians. The Mandalorians, meanwhile, took control of a huge forterss and turned it into a base that also contained an extensive laboratory, and it was there that Pulsipher discovered the true nature of the Muur Talisman. His inadvertent use of the Talisman against another Mandalorian set off a modified form of the Rakghoul Plague, which quickly spread throughout the gathered recruits and conscripts that formed the Mandalorian army. Cassus Fett learned of the spreading plague from Zayne Carrick, and chose to bombard the planet from orbit in order to prevent the Rakghoul Plague from spreading to other worlds. The orbital bombardment flattened all Mandalorian outposts, and turned the surface of Jebble into a roiling ocean that later became a frozen wasteland. (KOR1, KOR2, KORV)

Jebble Box
This was the term used to describe the Sith artifact known as Lord Dreypa's Oubliette, after it was excavated from the ice that covered the planet Jebble, about 1,400 years before the onset of the Clone Wars. The miners who found it had no idea what it was, and could not find a way to open the coffin-like box. Thus, it became known as the Jebble Box, and a new history was written for the artifact. It was stolen by one of the miners, who killed his companions and made off with the artifact. Over the following centuries, the Jebble Box became the stuff of legend. It was said that only a Force user could open it, that it contained the ancient treasures of the Jedi Order, and that the Jedi Knights would do anything to recover it. A few years before the Battle of Geonosis, Schurk-Heren came into possession of the Jebble Box in the wake of a small war that was fought over the artifact, and he kept it secret until he could find the right buyer. (DTV)

Jebel
This was a common name used by the Qwohog race. (UANT)

Jeboe'i
This Old Corellian word literally translated as "thief," and could be used as singular or plural. In variations the sport of phrenbi, teams which were paired against each other were referred to as jeboe'I, and could not be scored upon by the opposite team. (BSS)

Jebwa
This red and yellow flower was native to Corellia. (TFE)

Jeco
This predator attacks with lightning speed. (DSTC)

Jed
This was the name used by Princess Lourdes to describe Yoshi Raph-Elan, whom she claimed was her new servant. (SWS)

Jedd Six
This planet was first scouted by Lexi Fernandin, during the last years of the Old Republic. (GG2)

Jedgar
This seven-foot-tall man was a member of the Prophets of the Dark Side. Jedgar served as the High Prophet, and acted as the groups' emissary to visitors to Scardia station. He was a balding man who presented an imposing figure to other beings. Little was known of Jedgar's past, but it was discovered that he had trained at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, often dreaming of the events of the Clone Wars and the Jedi Purge. His visions frightened the other students and worried his teachers, and Jedgar was never taken as a Padawan. A series of visions led Jedgar to Kadaan, under whom he apprenticed in learning the ways of the Dark Side of the Force. Jedgar also served as Kadann's bodyguard, but that was more for show than actual defense, since Kadann was quite powerful in the ways of the Dark Side. When the Prophets of the Dark Side were formed under Emperor Palpatine, Jedgar became Kadann's second-in-command, and his support of Kadann's visions - even after Palpatine dismissed them - ran deep. (LCJ, DSSB)

Jedi
This young duuvhal was taken as a pet by Valara Saar, after she returned to her homeworld of Yashuvhu. Saar's first pet duuvhal, Zeev, had been killed on Aargau. (WOTC)

Jedi Air
This was the sarcastic name used by Bardan Jusik to describe his own piloting abilities, during the time he spent working with Delta and Omega Squads to smash a terrorist ring on Coruscant, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. Bardan had been tailing Sev and Fi, who were trying to capture Vinna Jiss and bring her in for questioning, in a speeder disguised as a taxi cab. Although they apprehended the Falleen, her own contacts tried to eliminate them when they tried to return to their base at Qibbu's Hut. Only Bardan's amazing flying skills, augmented by his connection to the Force, allowed them to escape their pursuers and return safely with their prisoner. Upon arrival, Bardan quipped, "Thank you for flying Jedi Air." (RCTZ)

Jedi Ambassadorial Shuttle
This specially-designed shuttle was developed for use by the Jedi Order, during the height of the Clone Wars. This shuttle had one fixed wing atop its fuselage, and two foldable wings that were mounted on the side. The central fuselage was fronted by a spherical cockpit, which gave the pilot and co-pilot a wider view of the space around the vessel. The side wings could fold up during landing, and folded down for maneuverability while in flight. A pair of landing struts provided the only stability when the shuttle was on the ground, and were supported by small repulsors that kept the ship upright. (CWTV31)

Jedi Archives and Library
Located in the Jedi Temple's Tranquility Spire, a building that was more than 2,500 years old at the time of the Battle of Geonosis, this vast library of holobooks and information had been compiled by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic for nearly a thousand generations. Some of the documents contained in the Archives were believed to have dated from the very beginning of the Republic. The main archives was divided into four main halls, with access terminals provided along the length of each hall. While any terminal could be used to access any of the inforamtion in the Archives, each hall was set aside for a general set of knowledge that made it easier to find certain piece of information. Users who entered the Archives were given access to certain levels of information, depending on their path of research and their credentials. No original document could be taken from the Archives, since they were tagged with markers that set off sensors in the doors of the Archives. However, an individual could copy any piece of information that were allowed to access for their own use.

The main entry hall was set aside for philosophical and historical documents, and contained documents that had been created by Jedi, politicians, and other historically important beings. The second hall was set aside for mathematical and engineering knowledge, and was known to have contained blueprints of virtually ever starship and vehicle ever produced. The third hall contained geographical and cultural information from across the galaxy, including the most detailed astronomical maps in the galaxy. The fourth hall was set aside for zoological data and information on the various forms of life that had existed in the galaxy.

At the end of the Clone Wars, the Archives were all but destroyed in during the so-called Jedi Rebellion. The fires that were sparked in the Jedi Temple quickly spread to the Archives, and the local fire departments were unable to prevent the loss of virtually all the Archive's records. The few that remained were raided by Emperor Palpatine and his Dark Jedi adepts, and much of the information stored in the Archives was lost forever. However, after Luke Skywalker was able to establish his new Jedi Order and was given a new temple facility on Coruscant, he and his Jedi began working to establish a new Jedi Archives. (OWS, SWI60, SWCL, LF2, DBRT, RC66, CWWS, FJ1)

Jedi Armies
This was a term used by many Separatist leaders to describe the Grand Army of the Republic, referring to the fact that the Jedi Knights were chosen to serve as Generals in the military during the Clone Wars. (CWYN)

Jedi Battle Beyond the Stars
This was a cult-classic holovid that was produced during the years leading up to the onset of the Clone Wars. It was a typical Jedi Knight action-adventure arts flick, complete with slow-motion action sequences that were often dubbed with strange, guttural sounds. (FOC2)

Jedi Civil War
Although often used simply to describe the ongoing conflict between adherents of the Light and Dark Sides of the Force, this term best described the decades of galactic history following the Great Sith War, when the Jedi Knights fought in the Mandalorian Wars and battled against the forces of Darth Malak. The conflict spread throughout the entire Jedi Order, as many Jedi questioned their allegiance to a Jedi Council that seemed to be blinded to the growing power of the Sith. Many Jedi, like Revan and Kreia, abandoned the Jedi Order and set out on their own to fight the Sith, and their were heroes and villains on both sides of the fighting. Ultimately, the Jedi Order was brought to near-extinction, and the Sith were reduced to Darth Sion's ravaged body and a handful of Sith devotees. The Jedi Council was destroyed, and the galaxy was plunged into years of fear until the Jedi could re-establish themselves. It was believed that the survival of the Jedi Order was made possible by the heroic efforts of The Exile and Kreia, who battled Darth Sion and kept the Jedi beliefs alive. (KOTOR2, LAWS)

Jedi Coalition
This was the title used by Leia Organa Solo and her brother, Luke Skywalker, to describe the coalition of military forces that still supported the Jedi Order, in the wake of the Battle of Kuat and the galactic takeover that was orchestrated by Jacen Solo. The new Jedi Order had withdrawn from its support of the Galactic Alliance during the Battle of Kuat, refusing to support a government that was ruled by aggression. The Jedi abandoned the Jedi Temple on Coruscant and their training facility on Ossus, and fled to the hidden world of Shedu Maad. In an attempt to bring Jacen Solo to justice, the Jedi Order began recruiting small forces to their cause, forming the Jedi Coalition. However, the Jedi were forced to struggle with the fact that many of the governments that joined the Coalition were still entrenched in their own struggles, and could barely afford to assist in larger-scale assaults on the Galactic Alliance. (LF9)

Jedi Code, The
This was the name given to the basic tenets of the Jedi Knights, the Jedi Code was established from the writings of Jedi Master Odan-Urr some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Many historians believed that the basic tenets of the Jedi Code were based on the beliefs and ethos of the Caamasi people, who were noted for their steadfast loyalty and regard for life. The basic Code altered in form but never content over the millennia, and read as follows: "There was no emotion; there was peace. There was no ignorance; there was knowledge. There was no passion; there was serenity. There was no chaos; there was harmony. There was no death; there was the Force." Among the other basic tenets was the notion that a Jedi Knight or Master could only take a single Padawan apprentice. This ensured that a teacher could not gain undue influence, and mirrored the limitations imposed by the Sith Lords. Among the deepest beliefs contained within the Jedi Code was that a Jedi must consider the actions of the Force before undertaking any action. This meant that a Jedi had to ensure that they were acting without emotion in every situation, so as not to draw power from the Dark Side of the Force. Among the most prominent teachings of Master Odan-Urr were the following:

To further clarify the Jedi Code, Master Odan-Urr went on to explain that there were eight distinct conclusions to any situation a Jedi might face, and that every one had to be considered before any action was taken. The eight conclusions - meditation, training, loyalty, integrity, morality, discretion, bravery, and fighting - all required understanding by a Jedi, so that they could resolve any situation that demanded a quick decision with the will of the Force already in mind. (SWSB, DA, E1N, TOJC, SWRPG, SWRPG2, GMR2, CN2)

Jedi Command
This was the name given to the military command center that was established in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the Clone Wars. Jedi Command was staffed at every hour of the day, coordinating the military missions of the thousands of Jedi Knights deployed across the galaxy. Within the hardened walls of the Jedi Command center, full-scale communications equipment monitored the progress of nearly every Jedi in the field. (E3N)

Jedi Consular
This was the title given to those Jedi Knights of the Old Republic who were noted for their skills in diplomacy and negotiation. (EGF, SWI114)

Jedi Convocation
This was the term used by the ancient Jedi Order to describe any large gathering of Jedi Knights and Jedi Masters, during which the assembled beings discussed the most important issues facing the galaxy at the time. Several noted Jedi Convocations occurred during the era of the Great Sith War, including a meeting on the planet Deneba that became known as The Great Council of Deneba. As the threat of the Sith continued wax and wane over the coming decades, more and more events like the Exis Convocation were held to prevent any further trouble for the galaxy. The last noted Convocation occurred on the planet Katarr some 3,952 years before the Battle of Yavin. The assembled Jedi were slaughtered when the Sith Lord Darth Nihilus laid waste to the planet. (EGF)

Jedi Council
This was the primary leadership body that governed the actions of the Jedi Order. Also called the Jedi High Council, this body was established in the wake of the Battle of Ruusan to oversee the activities of the Jedi Order, in an effort to evaluate its place in the galaxy. This body was once known as the Masters' Council, but it was believed that any leadership body could benefit from the input of Jedi Knights at all levels. New rules were put in place to overcome the perceived problems that were encountered on Ruusan, including the propensity of adolescents and adults had of letting their emotions drag them over to the Dark Side of the Force. When the Jedi Council decreed that only infants would be chosen for training, many beings in the galaxy came to see the Jedi as cradle-robbers or baby snatchers. However, these beings were not in the majority, and many of the galaxy's citizens attributed the ensuing centuries of peace to the efforts of the Jedi Order.

In the years leading up to the Clone Wars and the fall of the Old Republic, the Jedi Council became more and more insular, and many believed that the Jedi Order was eventually destroyed because the Council was unable to see the coming darkness. The Council maintained a spectacular chamber located in one of the four council towers of the Jedi Temple, located on Coruscant. The Council was made up of five lifetime members, four long-term members, and three limited-term members.

For many generations, the Council existed in relative obscurity, as the peace in the galaxy limited the presence of the Jedi to mediators and arbitors. In the wake of the Great Sith War, the Jedi Council found itself fighting for its life, when the Jedi Civil War broke out and the Jedi Order was nearly wiped out in the five years following the destruction of the Star Forge.

The mission of the Jedi Council was to oversee the continued development of the Jedi Order, and to ensure that the ideals of the Jedi were upheld. The goal of every Jedi Knight and Master was to maintain peace and justice throughout the galaxy, a goal that was predicated on the fact that the entire Jedi Order remained politically neutral. By law, however, the Jedi Order reported directly to the Galactic Senate. For many generations this meant little more than regular reporting of the activities of the Jedi Order.

At the time of the Battle of Naboo, the Council consisted of the following members:

  • Lifetime Members:
    • Mace Windu
    • Yoda
    • Oppo Rancisis
    • Plo Koon
    • Yarael Poof
  • Long-term Members:
    • Eeth Koth
    • Even Piell
    • Depa Billaba
    • Saesee Tiin
  • Limited-term Members:
    • Ki-Adi-Mundi
    • Yaddle
    • Adi Gallia
As the Republic began to crumble from within, and after Count Dooku formed the Confederacy of Indepenent Systems, the Jedi Order found itself responding to more and more requests for assistance in political or military matters. The Jedi Council had to send more and more Jedi into combat situations, and the mission of the Jedi Order slowly became one of military importance.

By the time of the Battle of Geonosis, Coleman Trebor had replaced Yarael Poof, and Shaak Ti had replaced Yaddle. With the full-blown conflict of the Clone Wars, the Jedi Council became the military leadership of a new group of Generals, as Jedi Master were given command of clone trooper squads in an effort to confront the atrocities of the Separatists. As they affected most other aspects of life, the Clone Wars altered the make-up of the Jedi Council. Master Trebor died at Geonosis, and the remaining Council members were often forced to meet via holographic communication from the battlefronts. Appointed to replace fallen Masters were Agen Kolar, Stass Allie, Kit Fisto, Tsui Choi, Colman Kcaj, and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Following the First Battle of Coruscant, the Galactic Senate was forced to admit that it could no longer handle the duties of politics and the military. In an unusual move, the Senators voted to have the Jedi Order report directly to Chancellor Palpatine, giving the Chancellor complete control of its activities. Outwardly, this would mean that Palpatine could focus the Jedi Order on the elimination of the Separatists, leaving the Senate to handle the rebuilding of the Republic. However, implied in this decree was the fact that Palpatine would also control any and all troops under the command of the Jedi Order, which included the entire Grand Army of the Republic. With this simple bit of legislation, Palpatine became the Supreme Commander of the Republic's entire military force. Palpatine then named Anakin Skywalker as his personal representative on the Jedi Council, a move that went against the electoral process of the Jedi Order. In order to maintain a modicum of control, the Council agreed to the appointment, but refused to grant Skywalker the status of Jedi Master. With the destruction of the Jedi Order at the hands of Emperor Palpatine, the Jedi Council was banished from history.

It's existence was later discovered by Luke Skywalker, during his research into the Jedi of the Old Republic. He longed to re-establish the Council, but the New Republic Senate feared that it would give the Jedi an elitist presence. However, when Cal Omas was elected Chief of State, he vowed to work with Luke on recreating the Council. They agreed to create an Advisory Council that consisted of six Jedi and six New Republic officials, mirroring the twelve-seat Council of the Old Republic. However, in the wake of the Swarm War, Master Skywalker decided to remove the Jedi from the Galactic Alliance's Advisory Council, instead forming a dedicated Jedi High Council to govern the actions of the new Jedi order. The Jedi continued to support the Galactic Alliance, however, and were available for advice at any time. As had happened during the Clone Wars, the role of the Jedi Order changed as the galaxy changed.

The onset of the Corellia-GA War, followed by the Alliance's war with the Confederation, forced the Jedi Council to make some harsh decisions. While the Jedi Order was sworn to support the Galactic Alliance, many of the Jedi Council's members openly criticized Jacen Solo and Cha Niathal when they began manipulating the law to take control of the Alliance for themselves. Grand Master Luke Skywalker was eventually forced to confront the fact that his nephew had become a tyrant, and he declared that the Jedi Order was no longer able to support the Galactic Alliance. For a short period of time, the Jedi Council contained members from within the Jedi Order and from the government, so that its actions could be monitored. In the wake of the Second Galactic Civil War, the Jedi Council reverted to an all-Jedi body, and included Jedi Masters Skywalker, Kyle Katarn, Octa Ramis, Saba Sebatyne, Cilghal, Kenth Hamner, Corran Horn, and Kyp Durron. Grand Master Skywalker was forced to accept a ten-year exile from the activities of the Jedi Order, in exchange for amnesty from any repercussions the Galactic Alliance might have levied against the Jedi following Jacen Solo's fall to the Dark Side of the Force. Master Hamner was chosen to serve as the leader of the Jedi Council during this time, although he chose not to take on the title of Grand Master until he was forced into it. (E1, IG1, SWI62, DW, OWS, IS3, E3N, KOTOR2, DN3, LF2, LF6, SWI99, EGF, FJ2, FJ3)

Jedi Council Chamber
This the name given to the circular room located atop the Jedi Council Spire, part of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It had windows along all its walls, providing a complete 360-degree view of the cityscape below. (PJSB, OF)

Jedi Council Spire
This was the southwest spire of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, and served as the hub of all the activities of the Jedi Order. The Council Chamber was located at its apex, providing a complete view of the cityscape below. (PJSB)

Jedi Council Tower
see Jedi Council Spire (SWCL)

Jedi Covenant, The
This was another name for The Covenant. (KORH)

Jedi Credit
Also known as JedCreds, these Corellian medallions were minted whenever a native of Corellia became a Jedi Master. Corran Horn's real grandfather, Nejaa Halcyon, gave a number of these to his friends and relatives, including Rostek Horn. Rostek later passed it to Hal Horn, who passed it to his own son, Corran. (XWN, KT)

Jedi Cruiser
This was another name used to describe the Venator-class Star Destroyer. It stemmed from the fact that many of these ships, which were the flagships of various Old Republic fleets, were commanded by Jedi Generals. (CWVG)

Jedi Crusaders
This was another name used to describe the Revanchists, those Jedi Knights who actively participated in the Mandalorian Wars, some 3,963 years before the Battle of Yavin. After Lucien Draay was appointed to the Jedi Council, any member of the Jedi Crusaders who refused to renounce their support for the war were ordered to be arrested on sight, as part of the Council's plans to let the Mandalorians destroy themselves from the inside. (KOR4, KOR9)

Jedi Dreamer
This custom-built New Republic scout craft was commanded by Korren Starchaser. It measured 51.8 meters in length, and was streamlined for flight in atmospheres. It required a pilot and co-pilot to operate, and could accommodate up to four passengers and ten metric tons of cargo. It was armed with a pair of front-mounted laser cannons and a turret-mounted tractor beam projector. (SWJ6, SWJ8)

Jedi Enclave
This was the name used to describe the facility that housed the Coruscant-based members of Luke Skywalker's new Jedi Order, in the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The massive facility was similar in many respects to the old Jedi Temple, but was considered more of a secondary facility that supported the efforts of the Jedi facility on Ossus. (LF1)

Jedi Enclave
This was another name for the Almas Academy. (REPL)

Jedi Expeditionary Task Force
This task force was formed by the Jedi High Council, during the final stages of the Mandalorian Wars, to investigate any possible role the Jedi Order could play in ending the conflict. For years, the High Council had refused to get involved in the war until concrete evidence of Mandalorian atrocities. They believed that there was nothing special about the Mandalorians that warranted Jedi aid. This changed when Malak, Revan, and Ferroh returned from the planet Cathar with evidence of the near-extermination of the Cathar race by Cassus Fett. (KOR14)

Jedi Explorer
The sleek, new, two-man starship Luke Skywalker used just to go to Ossus with Kam Solusar and search for the ancient Jedi lore that might be hidden there. It was designed to navigate uncharted hyperspace routes, and had a huge cargo hold. It also transported an experimental T-77 airspeeder for planet-side use. It was well-armed with laser and ion cannons. (DE2)

Jedi Explorer II
The second of the new, two-man starships Luke Skywalker used. He flew this one to Ossus to try and head off Palpatine's attempt to obtain Ysanna bodies from which to manufacture clones. (EE)

Jedi Flow
This simple game, developed by the Jedi Knights, taught an individual to understand and feel the energy of the Force. By studying the Jedi Flow, a being could learn to allow the Force to flow across and around the "boulders" and obstacles within one's body. By moving these emotion and physical barriers, the Force could flow more freely, allowing the individual to reach a deeper connection to the world around them. The achievement of the Jedi Flow involved bringing into unity one's breathing, motion, and alignment. In this way, the Jedi Flow was also an excellent military training exercise, as Kit Fisto discovered while training a group of ARC troopers on Ord Cestus. (TCD)

Jedi Forge
This was one of the handful of ceremonies that were attributed to the followers of the Ashla, on the planet Tython, during the years following the Force Wars. The ceremony was named both figuratively and literally. During the ceremony, potential Force-users were required to take control of the Force and forge a blade of steel into a sword. With enough control, the candidates honed the blade to incredible sharpness, as well as centering their own connection to the Force. Over time, the ceremony was altered when it was discovered that laser beams could be controlled in such a way as to form a blade of pure light and energy, and the first lightsabers were created. (NECH)

Jedi General
This was the rank given to those members of the Jedi Order who were given command of an Army Corps or Army Legion, during the height of the Clone Wars. Each Jedi General worked side-by-side with a Clone Marshal Commander to lead the Corps. (SWI84)

Jedi Giant
This was the reverential term used by the Yuuzhan Vong to describe Ganner Rhysode, after Ganner's death on Coruscant shortly after the planet was reformed into the new Yuuzhan'tar. Ganner had given his life to protect Jacen Solo, who was attempting to make contact with the World Brain on Coruscant. Drawing incredible energy from the Force, Ganner had single-handedly killed or injured hundreds of Yuuzhan Vong warriors, before eventually succumbing to their sheer numbers. However, his bravery and determination in the face of certain death earned him an incredible measure of respect from the Yuuzhan Vong. After his death, they believed that Ganner lived on in the afterlife as the Guardian of the Gate to the Lands of the Dead. His blazing lightsaber shone in the darkness, forbidding the spirits of the Dead from returning through the Gate to harass the living. Above the Gate, the Yuuzhan Vong believed, were the words "None Shall Pass," written in Basic, as these were the last words Ganner cried before the Yuuzhan Vong attacked him. After his death, Ganner was also referred to as "The Ganner", as if he were a new Yuuzhan Vong god. (T)

Jedi Heresy, The
This was another name for The Message, used originally by Supreme Overlord Shimrra but eventually finding its way into regular use. (FH3)

Jedi High Council
Although many beings associated this name with the ancient Jedi Council of the Old Republic, it was brought to the mainstream when Luke Skywalker formed a new Jedi Order during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. This new incarnation of the Jedi High Council was actually created during the Yuuzhan Vong war, when Master Skywalker realized that he needed to provide more guidance to the many Jedi Knights who were fighting throughout the galaxy. The initial members of his inner circle included himself; his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker; Kenth Hamner; Jacen Solo, his sister Jaina, and his younger brother Anakin; the healers Cilghal and Tekli; Kyp Durron; and Octa Ramis. Under Master Skywalker's guidance, this group agreed to become part of the Galactic Alliance's Advisory Council, in an effort to unite their forces against their common enemy, the Yuuzhan Vong. In order to balance the Jedi with the non-Jedi, the High Council's membership was reduced to Master Skywalker, Cilghal, Kenth Hammner, Saba Sebtayne, Tresina Lobi, and Kyp Durron. The Jedi continued to serve as part of the Advisory Council for several years, until Master Skywalker realized that the new Jedi Order could no longer be viewed as an extension of the galactic government. Thus, the true Jedi High Council was established during the Swarm War, with Master Skywalker serving as the Grand Master of the Jedi. Assisting him on the High Council were Mara Jade Skywalker, Cilghal, Corran Horn, Kyle Katarn, and Kyp Durron. This body worked well for several years, until Jacen Solo rose to power as the Sith Lord known as Darth Caedus. When Skywalker severed all ties to the Galactic Alliance, he took the new Jedi Order to the hidden world of Shedu Maad. There, he reformed the Jedi High Council and created the Masters' Council, hoping to use the combined knowledge and experience of his Jedi Masters to find a way to defeat Caedus. (IWE1, BP, EV1, DW, DN3, LF2, KOR2)

Jedi Holocron
This was the term used by Luke Skywalker to describe the Tedryn Holocron, when the device was recovered from the planet Byss by Skywalker's sister, Leia Organa Solo. (EGF)

Jedi Holocron
This was a specialized variant of a standard holocron, developed to store the wisdom, lore, and training of Jedi Masters. Most Jedi Holocrons were created prior to the Battle of Ruusan, and very few survived the era of the New Order, as Emperor Palpatine collected all manner of holocrons - both Sith and Jedi - from which to garner new information about the use of the Force. (JS, CVD)

Jedi Hunter
This was the nickname given to the lightsaber-wielding, humanoid battles droid that were produced by the Separatists during the height of the Clone Wars. These droids were named Jedi Hunters because their primary mission was to locate and confront Jedi Knights on the battlefield. (OWS)

Jedi Hunters
This was the name of the gang of bounty hunters who worked on the planet Cularin, during the height of the Clone Wars. They adopted the name Jedi Hunters because they answered the call of the Separatists to bring in Jedi Knights for interrogation. The presence of the Jedi Hunters on Cularin forced the Jedi Knights at the Almas Academy to be mindful of their activities, which hampered their ability to protect the system. (LFCW)

Jedi Interceptor
This was a common name used to describe the Eta-2 Actis Interceptor, since most of these swift starfighters were flown by Jedi Knights during the Clone Wars. (SWI82, SSOG)

Jedi Jewels
This was the term used to describe a mysterious pair of Jedi Knights who led a small band of clone troopers into battle during the height of the Clone Wars. (SWMW)

Jedi Justice Cruiser
Developed by Republic Shipyards for the express use of the Jedi Knights, these 68-meter-long gunboats were heavily-armed and protected. Each Jedi Justice Crusier carried a turret-mounted double turbolaser cannon, an ion cannon, and a pair of concussion missile launchers. Requiring a crew of five Jedi to operate, each of these ships could accommodate up to seven passengers and 100 metric tons of cargo. After the events of the Stark Hyperspace Conflict, many of the Jedi Justice Cruisers in service were decommissioned by order of the Jedi Council, which eliminated the ships in an effort to eliminate the Senate's fear of the Jedi Order's military might. (PJSB)

Jedi Killer
This was the term used by many residents of the Cularin System to describe General Grievous, who caused havoc in the system during the early stages of the Clone Wars. (LFCW)

Jedi Killers
This was a common nickname used by smugglers and other lowlifes to describe those JK-series security droids that were modified to serve as combat droids. Because of several documented battles in which a JK-series droid defeated a Jedi Knight in combat, the name "Jedi Killers" became a popular nickname for the droids. (TCD)

Jedi Knighthood
This was the status given to those Jedi Padawans who survive their Jedi Trials and became Jedi Knights. (CN1)

Jedi Knights
The Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice from the early beginnings of the Old Republic. They were highly trained in the use of the Force, and employed the elegant lightsaber as their weapon of choice. In the beginning, the Jedi were merely scientists and scholars who debated on the unusual energy field - the Force - which seemed to eminate from certain individuals. Over time, as knowledge and understanding of the Force grew, this loose affiliation coalesced into the Jedi Order. They protected the Republic from all threats, including the Clone Wars. They were also used to settle disputes and contentions for rulership due to their overall neutrality and their ability to search out the truth via the Force. After the destruction caused by the Great Hyperspace War and the Great Sith War, the Jedi and the Old Republic began to work much closer together, combining their strengths to ensure no further threats to the galaxy erupted into full-scale war. However, over time, the Jedi became a highly insular Order, and rarely mixed with the very citizens they were sworn to protect. They wrapped themselves in rules which stagnated the Order and turned their connection to the Force into more of a scientific relationship. However, their connections to the Force still gave them great power. When Senator Palpatine put his plans in motion to take control of the galaxy, he realized that the Jedi Knights were the only true faction that could stand between himself and the galaxy. Working behind the scenes, he orchestrated events that would lead to the destruction of the Jedi Order. Although the Clone Wars painted the Jedi as heroes, the simple command to execute Order 66 cast their intentions into doubt, and those beings who had come to think of the Jedi as insular quickly came to hate them. In short order, the Jedi Order which had numbered more than 10,000 strong at its height had been reduced to nothing. The Jedi Purge was considered a success, although Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda managed to escape the killings.

Despite Palpatine's efforts, though, many Force-sensitive beings managed to survive the Jedi Purge, including Luke Skywalker and Streen, simply because they were not adept enough to control the Force. It had been estimated that there were 10,000 Jedi active in the galaxy at the time when Senator Palpatine took control of the galaxy. As Luke Skywalker began training new Jedi more than twenty years after the fall of the Old Republic, there were roughly 100 active Knights when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, with dozens more in training. During the conflict their numbers were reduced by half, and most of the survivors were children who were not yet trained enough to become full Jedi Knights. As Master Skywalker contemplated his new understanding of the Force - not a simple delineation between light and dark, but a more profound definition of the ways in which good and evil fight for control of an individual - he chose not to return the Jedi to their roles as an unbiased police force. Luke reasoned that the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic were once a meditative order that was drawn deeper and deeper into the machinations of the Republic when its Chancellors called for their help in mediating disputes. As this call for help escalated into the battle legions of the Clone Wars, the Jedi became less interested in the nature of the Force and more interested in separating good and evil into light and dark halves to the Force. The Jedi of the Old Republic, according to Skywalker, lost sight of the fact that the Force moved through an individual, not from them. In the end, Skywalker chose to allow Kam Solusar and Tionne to re-establish a training center on Ossus, which served as the foundation for a new Jedi Order.

In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, the new Jedi Knights abandoned the original Jedi Code and sought to use their connection to the Force to determine the morally right course of action. With the combination of the Light Side and the Dark Side into a single notion of the Force, a new Jedi Knight was free to use whatever means necessary to ensure that the Force remained in balance. Many within the Galactic Alliance feared that this simply allowed the Jedi to rationalize any actions within the context of something that very few beings understood, thereby giving them free rein to do as they pleased. (E3, E4, E5, E6, DMSH, SWRPG, PJSB, UF, DN1, CWTV01)

Jedi Library
Located in the Lost City of the Jedi, this building holds records of the Jedi from thousands of years before the Galactic Civil War. It houses a vast central computer, as well as archives of ancient manuscripts and books. It was rumored that all the knowledge of all the intelligent races of the galaxy was stored there. (LCJ)

This was another name for the Jedi Archives, during the final years of the Old Republic. (SWI94)

Jedi Masters
Those Jedi Knights who became extremely talented and powerful in the use of the Force were often trained to become Jedi Masters. The criteria were for becoming a Jedi Master were somewhat nebulous, and over time it became mainly an honorific to describe those Jedi Knights who had taken on a Padawan learner and successfully them to become a Jedi Knight themselves. Sometimes, an individual who performed as an exemplar of the Jedi Order would also be given the title of Jedi Master. The position of Jedi Master was, however, actually bestowed upon an individual, but the Jedi Council made no formal declaration about the differentiating factors. The Jedi Masters' roles were varied, from teaching the young Jedi Knights in the use of The Force to acting as intermediaries for the Old Republic.

During the early years of the Jedi Order, Jedi Masters often took more than one apprentice, spreading their knowledge whenever possible. This all changed after the Battle of Ruusan, when the Jedi Knights believed that they had become too scattered to control. Taking a cue from the Sith, the Jedi Council limited a Master to a single Padawan learner. This limitation was removed in the wake of the Battle of Endor, as Master Luke Skywalker was forced to train as many individuals as possible to rebuild the Jedi Order. The Jedi Masters were not exempt from Palpatine's Jedi purge, and the Jedi Master Yoda was the only known Master to survive. Yoda was able to pass on his vast knowledge of the Force to Luke Skywalker, who continued to train in the use of the Force after Yoda's death and become the newest Jedi Master.

It was rumored that the best and truest Jedi Masters do not truly die, but move on to some mystical state of being. Their physical bodies cease to exist, but their living essence was absorbed by the Force. No explanation had ever been given for this occurance, but it had also been observed that certain Jedi Knights have also disappeared after dying. (E5, E6, JS, SWI68, PJSB, CWVG)

Jedi Masters' Council
This was another name for the Masters' Council that governed activities of the Jedi Order, both during ancient times and during the years following the Second Galactic Civil War. (FJ1)

Jedi Meld

Jedi Mind Juice
This was the name given to the viscous, greenish fluid secreted by the cochlera of the planet Genarius. It was named for the fact that, when harvested and immediately vacuum-sealed, it could be imbibed to give the drinker limited protection against The Force. This property was not widely documented, as no scientific investigation was done. (LFC)

Jedi Order
This was the name given to the complete membership of Jedi Padawans, Knights, and Masters, as well as the guidelines for their training and actions. During the early millennia of the Old Republic, the Jedi Order was separate from the government, existing as a group of monastic warriors who contemplated the Force and their place in the galaxy. Over time, the Jedi Order agreed to serve as the peacekeepers of the galaxy, working with the Old Republic to ensure that justice was carried out. The Jedi Order was nearly wiped out in the wake of the Great Sith War, when the surviving Sith Lords banded together and decimated the Jedi Council. The surviving Jedi fled to Dantooine, and eventually rebuilt the Order. The Jedi Temple on Coruscant was restored to operational status, and the Jedi began to help the Republic restore peace in the galaxy. The struggles of the Kanz Disorders and the Mandalorian Wars stretched the Jedi Order thin, and made them unprepared for the Great Galactic War and the Sacking of Coruscant. Once again, the Jedi Order had been almost wiped out, with six members of the Jedi Council having been killed when the Jedi Temple was destroyed, but the survivors fled to Tython to begin rebuilding. Unlike other such instances, however, the struggles of the Jedi Order during this period led to public outcry, with many beings openly questioning why the Jedi Knights were not able to prevent the Sith Empire from returning to power.

Centuries later, during the Draggulch Period, the role of the Jedi Order began to change, especially after several Jedi served as Supreme Chancellors of the Republic in order to help the Republic regain a measure of control and leadership. A little more than a millennium before the Galactic Civil War, the Jedi Order was placed under the control of the Judicial Department by Supreme Chancellor Tarsus Valorum, although its actions were governed by the Galactic Senate. In this relationship, the Senate oversaw the activities of the Jedi Order, but the Jedi were free to carry out their missions within their own guidelines. The Jedi Order of this time was governed by the twelve-member Jedi Council, which made the final decisions on the missions that were carried out by the Jedi Knights. At this time, the membership of the Jedi Order numbered more than 10,000 beings strong, one of the largest memberships of the Order's existence. Many citizens of the galaxy at this time believed that the Jedi Order have become too insular, and was no longer in touch with the people they had sworn to protect. After Emperor Palpatine destroyed the Jedi Knights with the execution of Order 66, the Jedi Order was all but eliminated for many decades. To the galaxy at large, the Jedi were painted as the real traitors of the Clone Wars, as Imperial propaganda implicated the Jedi in the creation of the clone troopers and the manipulation of Senate.

The details surrounding Palpatine's own disfigurement were twisted in such a way that it appeared the Jedi had tried to assassinate him, rather than arrest him, and that he had no choice but to fight back. Darth Vader's brutal assault on the Jedi Temple became a simple call for surrender that was met with lightsaber attacks, forcing the 501st Legion to fire against the Jedi in order to subdue the brewing Jedi Rebellion. To many beings in the galaxy, including some Jedi, the destruction of the Jedi Order in the wake of the Clone Wars was the result of the Order becoming too insular and self-centered. The Jedi Order had become wealthy, almost privileged, and believed that it was entitled to exist forever. This sentiment was especially strong in the Outer Rim Territories, where beings had already felt they were disenfranchised by the Galactic Senate. Of course, this was part of Palpatine's plan all along, to discredit the Jedi in the eyes of the beings they had claimed to protect.

When Luke Skywalker finally established his Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, several decades later, he started out by using the basic guidance he had received from Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda as the basis for his own training style. However, he avoided the formation of a new Jedi Order in an effort to separate his students from the government. While this allowed Master Skywalker to rebuild the Jedi Knights, he still had to battle the old prejudices that were formed against the Jedi during the final decades of the Old Republic and the era of the New Order.

When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy and challenged all known beliefs about the Force, Master Skywalker was forced to form a new Jedi Order that was based on the knowledge that both the Light and Dark Sides of the Force were simply aspects of a single power. Based on this, the new Jedi Order was founded on the belief that a Jedi Knight should act to ensure that there was balance in the Force, regardless of the way in which they achieved balance.

Unfortunately, in the wake of the Qoribu Crisis, Master Skywalker found that the Jedi Order was losing its way. While embracing this new philosophy, Master Skywalker felt that the Jedi had lost their identity and their place in the galaxy. Thus, he vowed to become more of a leader and less of a guide, hoping that the re-establishment of a leadership council would restore the Jedi to their rightful place as the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy. His leadership was never more necessary than when Jacen Solo and Cha Niathal assumed control of the Galactic Alliance, following a thinly-veiled coup in which Chief of State Cal Omas was arrested for breaking the laws Jacen had brought into force.

Luke struggled to reconcile the basic tenets of the Jedi Order with the changing political situation, and the murder of his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, did little to help him. Eventually, however, Luke came to the realization that Jacen Solo was becoming a tyrant, and he declared that the Jedi Order could no longer support the Galactic Alliance. At the Battle of Kuat, the Jedi abandoned their missions, leaving the battlezone and regrouping at Kashyyyk. For the first time in millennia, the Jedi Order existed as a separate entity, as all ties to the galactic government were severed. (PJSB, DN1, DN2, RDV, NECH, LF6, CWTV01, SWORW)

Jedi Praxeum
This was the name chosen by Luke Skywalker to describe the Jedi training facility he established on Yavin 4, during the early years of the New Republic. The word praxeum loosely meant "school," and was first used in this way by an ancient Jedi named Karena, who used it to infer the "distillation of learning combined with action." Luke chose to develop his school as a place of education and discussion, and was always tolerant of individual errors, which Luke believed only helped an individual to grow. This philosphy didn’t provide the New Republic's government with a good sense of security, especially after Kyp Durron destroyed the Carida System. The government chose to ignore these problems, pushing the blame squarely onto Luke's shoulders. (DA, NJOSB)

Jedi Pretty-Boy
This was Aeona Cantor's nickname for Luke Skywalker. (LSSM)

Jedi Prophecies
A series of vague foretellings that predicted the various surges in Dark Side conflicts throughout the galaxy. (DLS)

Jedi Purge
This was the name given to the period of galactic history following the First Battle of Coruscant, after Chancellor Palpatine had revealed himself to be Darth Sidious and assumed control of the galaxy. In order to solidify his position of power, Sidous knew that he needed to eliminate the Jedi Order. His plans began quite simply, sowing public discontent and uncertainty about the Jedi and their goals during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Then, as the Clone Wars erupted across the galaxy, Palpatine cultivated the fear that the Jedi were becoming too powerful and too militant, and the people began to demand more information from the Jedi Council. Unfortunately, the Jedi Council reacted by becoming even more secretive, which served Palpatine's plans without any additional impetus. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, when Palpatine was revealed to be Sidious, Mace Windu and a group of Jedi Masters tried to bring Palpatine to justice. With the help of Anakin Skywalker, Palpatine was able to destroy the Jedi Masters, then went to the Galactic Senate and described the battle as an attempt by the Jedi to seize control - the so-called Jedi Rebellion. With the Senate now behind him, Palpatine issued the command to execute Order 66 to his clone commanders, who were spread across the galaxy fighting the Outer Rim Sieges. Upon hearing the order, the clone commanders turned their weapons on the Jedi Knights and Masters who were fighting alongside them. Within the space of a day, a huge number of Jedi were executed by the clones, and the Jedi Purge was begun. Over the ensuing months and years, Palpatine hunted down any surviving Jedi, until it was believed that only Anakin Skywalker - who had become Darth Vader - was the only surviving member of the former Jedi Order. (WOTC, IS3)

Jedi Rampage
This was the sensationalist term used by the popular media on the planet Coruscant to describe the actions of Jysella Horn, when the young Jedi Knight suddenly experienced a type of Force-related psychosis, several years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Jysella had forced her way out of the Jedi Temple and tried to run away from the other Jedi, whom she believed had been replaced with strange dopplegangers. Once free of the Temple, Jysella drew her lightsaber in order to fend off any pursuit, drawing the attention of several reporters and the Galactic Alliance Security force. The security team surrounded her, and their combined fire was enough to stun Jysella and take her into custody. Although no civilians were harmed, and there was very little property damage, Javis Tyrr used the phrase "Jedi Rampage" in his report on the incident, as much to gain readership as to further his own career.

Jedi Rebellion
This was the term used by Chancellor Palpatine to describe the supposed "uprising" of the Jedi Order against the Old Republic, during the weeks following the First Battle of Coruscant. It was Palpatine himself - disguised as Darth Sidious - who ordered the exterminatio of the Jedi Knights throughout the galaxy, an action he took under the pretext that the Jedi Order was trying to overthrow the Galactic Senate and take control of the galaxy for themselves. Palpatine claimed that the "Jedi Rebellion" was only stopped by the swift thinking and initiative of the clone commanders of the Grand Army of the Republic. (IS3)

Jedi Revolt
This was another name used to describe the so-called Jedi Rebellion. (DN2)

Jedi Robes
The robes of the Jedi Knights, especially those of the Old Republic, were created to give the casual observer the impression of simplicity and sacrifice. The robes of the Jedi Knights were cut from tan or brown cloth, usually of a coarse weave that was easily distinguished from other fabrics. These robes covered the entire body of the Jedi, draping down to the floor and hanging loosely on the arms. A pointed hood was attached to cover the head. The looseness of the robes allowed a Jedi Knight to shed the robes in situation where action was required, especially when confronting a violent opponent. (LLOW)

Jedi Rocks
This jizz tune was made popular by Evar Orbus and His Galactic Wailers. It remained a hit for the band's new incarnation, the Max Rebo Band. The band played this song for Jabba the Hutt, just prior to the planned execution of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. (SWI67)

Jedi Shadows
This was the name of a secretive band of Jedi Knights who devoted much of their time to gathering information on the users of the Dark Side of the Force, including the Sith. The Shadows were first formed millennia before the Great Sith War, and were often charged with infiltrating Sith territory in order to gather information. With the end of the Great Sith War, the Jedi High Council came to believe the threat of the Sith had diminished or even been exterminated, and the ranks of the Jedi Shadows were slowly reduced. A handful of WatchCircles chose to keep their own Jedi Shadows active, using them on missions where the presence of the Jedi Order needed to be minimized. (TOJC, KORV)

Jedi Shuttle
This was the common term used to describe the fleet of air buses that were modified for use by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. These shuttles often had improved hull plating and communications systems. (CHRN2)

Jedi Temple
This building was donated to Luke Skywalker and his new Jedi order by the Reconstruction Authority of the Galactic Alliance, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Located on Coruscant, the new Temple was ostensibly a gift from the government, although most Jedi understood that it was more of a propaganda effort than an actual gift. The Reconstruction Authority had been working to move the center of the galaxy's government back to Coruscant, in an effort to restore the former order of the New Republic. Although Master Skywalker graciously accepted the gift of the new Temple, he did not immediately move the Jedi order's operations from Ossus to Coruscant. In shape, the new Jedi Temple was a gleaming pyramid of stone and transparisteel, and was considered by many to have been one of the most beautiful examples of Rebirth architecture. After the Ossus compound was abandoned in the wake of Master Skywalker's death, the pyramidal Temple on Coruscant became the primary training facility of the new Jedi Order. (DN1, SWLB)

Jedi Temple
Located in the former Galactic City, on the planet Coruscant, this complex of spires and buildings was the base of operations for the Jedi Knights during the last forty generations of the Old Republic. Construction of the Temple was proposed by the Jedi to the Galactic Senate some time after the Great Hyperspace War, and despite the Senate's desire to recognize the efforts of the Jedi in defeating the Sith, the Temple met with many obstacles. First, the Senate feared that a Jedi stronghold on Coruscant would increase the likelihood of another Sith invasion. Second, the Senate wanted to avoid any direct association of the Jedi Order with the government. The Jedi, however, had no intention of making either mistake, and established a training and meditation center that would serve as a temporary base of operations for the Jedi Council. The site chosen for the Jedi Temple was strong with the Force, and was originally set aside as a holy place by the natives of the planet.

In the aftermath of the Great Sith War, both the Jedi and the Senate agreed that a tighter union of their forces would be required to ensure the safety of the galaxy, and the Jedi Temple was allowed to expand and become the center of the Jedi Order. The central Temple Spire rose a kilometer above the surrounding cityscape, and was surrounded by four individual Council towers. All five towers were supported by the main building, which sunk its roots deep into Coruscant's crust. The ziggurat shape of the main building, coupled with the five spires, was meant to symbolize a Padawan's path to enlightment through the Force. It was also meant to focus the energies of the Force, allowing those within to have a near-continual connection to the mystical energy field.

There were several contemplation stations located on each of the four smaller towers, where a Jedi could go be alone with their thoughts. Each of the four towers faced one of the ordinal directions, and they bristled with antennae and sensors that provided the Jedi with continual information from across the galaxy. The front of the building was accessed by the Processional Way, and was defined by huge pylons that depicted images of the Four Masters who founded the temple. Many Jedi historians wondered at the placement of the Temple on Coruscant, where all native life had been swept from the planet by the millennia-long urbanization, and yet more than a trillion beings lived out their lifes.

During the final days of the Clone Wars, the command was issued by Chancellor Palpatine to execute Order 66. This command was part of his sweeping plan to assume control of the galaxy for the Sith. Few beings realized that Palpatine was actually Darth Sidious, and that Anakin Skywalker had fallen from the ranks of the Jedi and assumed a position as Sidious' apprentice, Darth Vader. One of Vader's first acts of obedience was to escort the 501st Legion to the Jedi Temple, where they slaughtered every Jedi who was in the Temple at the time. Vader himself killed the younglings, and no being was left alive in the attack. The firefights that ensued caused large amounts of damage to the Temple, which began to burn, casting a cloud of smoke over the Coruscant skyline. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Master Yoda later infiltrated the Jedi Temple reset the signal that called all remaining Jedi home to the Temple, to prevent further deaths.

In the aftermath of the Jedi Purge begun by Emperor Palpatine, the Temple was allowed to remain standing, but was abandoned and left empty. Propaganda spread by the early Imperial government claimed that the Imperial 501st Legion arrived at the Jedi Temple to bring the Jedi to justice, but were forced to open fire when the Jedi in the Temple ignited their lightsabers and attacked them. During the early months of the New Order, it was rumored that former Jedi Knights were being held prisoner in the Temple, but this was proven to be little more than a ruse that was meant to lure unsuspecting Jedi back to Coruscant. The Jedi Temple became an object of fascination for the local Coruscant residents, and the wealthy even thought it a symbol of status if they were allowed into the building.

Over the following decades, much of the Jedi Temple was destroyed, either by war or demolition, and it was eventually was reduced to rubble. Jedi Master Luke Skywalker debated whether or not to build a new Temple, fearing that such a symbol of a centralized power structure may have led to the downfall of the earlier Jedi Order. In the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, Skywalker agreed to the construction of a Jedi Enclave on Coruscant, as a satellite of the facility that was established on Ossus. This Coruscant-based facility bore no resemblance to its predecessor, being formed from a collection of pyramid-shaped buildings of various sizes. The new Temple also included a chamber that had no doors or windows, and was built to contain a Force nexus that had been discovered on the planet. (IWE1, COD, PJSB, VD3, E3N, SWDB, LJ3, RDV, SWCL, LF1, LJ9, FJ1, FJ2)

Jedi Temple
This building, erected on the planet Ossus, was the original Jedi Temple. It was destroyed during the Great Sith War, when the Sith destroyed the Cron Cluster and triggered a massive chain of supernovae that scoured the surface of Ossus. (EGF)

Jedi Tower
This was the name given to the cylindrical tower that served as the primary base of operations for the Jedi Knights on Taris, during the years following the Great Sith War. The building was originally purchased by the Jedi Council many years earlier, because its location in the Upper City was set apart from the residential sections of the city. The Jedi Tower was abandoned during the Mandalorian Wars, after the members of The Covenant set off in search of Zayne Carrick and the Mandalorians invaded the planet. The invading Mandalorians took control of the Jedi Tower, and Cassus Fett used the building as his own base of operations, overseeing the invasion and the subjugation of the local population. A mission by the Hidden Beks, aided by Zayne Carrick and Raana Tey, to eliminate Cassus Fett met with disaster when Zayne learned that Fett and the Mandalorians had already left the building. Raana Tey was trapped while trying to escape, and Zayne tried to rescue her. When she used her lightsaber to try and free herself, Marn Hierogryph believed she was trying to kill Zayne, and set off the explosives that were meant for the Mandalorians. The upper floors of the Jedi Tower were destroyed, and the rest of the structure suffered major damage. (KOR7)

Jedi Training Remote
This was a specialized form of remote, that was used by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic to train Padawans in the use of a lightsaber for defense. (SWI95)

Jedi Trials
This was the name given to the series of milestones a Jedi Padawan learner had to successfully complete to earn the promotion to the status of Jedi Knight. Before the trials could begin, a student had to first construct their own lightsaber and demonstrate proficiency in wielding it, both from an offensive standpoint as well as its use in self-defense. Among the later trials was a demonstration of an individual's facility with the three aspects of the Force: alter, control, and sense. Knowledge of the Jedi Code and its application and the use of sound judgement were also key trials. Lastly, a student had to accept and complete a solo mission, without instruction or guidance from their Master. This mission could be prescribed by the Jedi Council, or it could be a past mission which demonstrated the student's ability to act alone. Only when all the trials were completed, would the Jedi Council consider a student for promotion. (PJSB)

Jedi Underground
This was the name used to describe the underground network of beings who helped Jedi Knights escape persecution at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong. Many members of the Jedi Underground worked to clear the way for the Great River. (EL1)

Jedi Weapons Master
This was the title given to only a few members of each generation of Jedi Knights, during the centuries leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. The Jedi of this time were known for their martial arts skills and training, and many of these Jedi found that certain studies of the Force allowed them to further enhance their military skills. Those Jedi who spent their lives in training and study could eventually achieve the rank of Jedi Weapons Master. Only a handful of Jedi were ever elevated to the rank of Jedi Weapons Master, and they were revered among the other Jedi for their skills. (DBRT)

Jedidiah
This unusual creature, a member of the Velmoc species, spent most of its life dreaming of becoming a Jedi Knight. However, with the advent of the New Order, Jedidiah's dreams were put into stasis. He became an advisor and confidante to the royal family of Velmor, and pledged himself to keeping the planet free of Imperial control. When the Empire finally subjugated Velmor, Jedidiah arranged to have Prince Denid and his beloved, Loren, flee the planet on a shuttle. In the escape, Jedidiah sustained a number of injuries. The three were forced to crashland on a remote jungle world, and Loren died in the crash. Jedidiah survived, and nursed Denid back to health. However, the crash isolated Jedidiah, and his already damaged mind eventually snapped. He spent the rest of his days bemoaning his lost dream of joining the Jedi, and would only answer to the name "Jedi.". He carried a gnarled wooden stick, claiming it was his lightsaber. Once back on Velmor, Jedidiah regained his touch with the Force when Luke Skywalker used it to help fight Traal and Zelor. Jedidiah went to help Luke, but was shot and killed by Captain Traal.

Jeen, Kibh
This Jedi apprentice was training under Master Qornah some 160 years before the Battle of Naboo, when the pair was dispatched to the Cularin System to investigate the Dark Side energies found on Almas. Qornah was more curious than afraid, but Kibh Jeen was unprepared for the power of the Dark Side of the Force. Upon entering the Cularin System, he began to hear the whispers of the Dark Side, and succumbed to the Dark Side fully when he landed on Almas. In a blind rage, he cut down Master Qornah and entered the ancient Sith temple on the planet. After staying in the temple for several months, Kibh Jeen emerged and began taking control of the Cularin System. He and his servants destroyed large portions of the floating cities on Genarius, until his actions were discovered by the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. During what became known as the Dark Jedi Conflict, Kibh Jeen and his minions were rooted out and destroyed by the Jedi. The story of these events became known as the Ritual Tale of Kibh Jeen, which became one of the many lessons that were taught to new students at the Almas Academy. Note that Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force places Kibh Jeen's mission to Almas at around 188 years before the Battle of Yavin, about five years earlier than described by the Living Force Campaign.

Jabba the Hutt issued a bounty for his capture in connection with the ambush of a Twi'lek supply convoy near Mos Gamos, which was eventually claimed by Jango Fett, who was on Tatooine trying to arrange a meeting with Jabba. (BH)

Jeffrey
This Alliance Corvette was operative during the Galactic Civil War. (XW)

Jeg
This young A'Mar boy was part of the group which participated in the Beastlord's Hunt that took place during the Galactic Civil War, just before Olianna was required to take part in The Vigil. During the hunt, Jeg was injured, and tradition held that the group could not seek aid from their fellow A'Mar. However, as Olianna was protected by a group of off-world adventurers, Jeg's friend Uri'Los approached the adventurers and asked for help. The adventurers were unsure if Jeg had simply had an accident, or had been attacked by some creature, maybe even the Beastlord itself. The simplest way to cure Jeg would have been to allow him to drink from the Wellspring, but this would have violated the basis rules of The Vigil. Thus, the adventurers wre forced to heal Jeg using more traditional medicines. (WOA31)

JegLor
This was a common name among the Meerian race. (GORW, WOTC)

Jeh
This H'Kig glyph was considered too sacred to write out, and was often simply known as "j'," as in the planetary name J't'p'tan. The rough translation of the glyph to Basic yields "the imminent," one of the mystical references of the H'kig religion. (SOL)

Jeh Bonegnawer
This was one of the largest restaurants that could be found in the Mos Eisley Spaceport, on Tatooine, during the early years of the New Republic. In addition to a sizable Corellian menu, the Jeh Bonegnawer also served up a wide variety of live and cooked meals, catering to the diverse palates that lived, worked, and traveled in the spaceport. Tables were often hard to come by, given the restaurant's popularity among travelers and independent spaces, who knew that the food at Jeh Bonegnawer was not too exotic. (GPB)

Jehaat
This Mando'a word meant "lie" or "falsehood." (OWS)

Je'Har
This race was native to the planet Almania, and were much more powerful than the humans which shared the world. Despite their war-like nature, the Je'Har built magnificent cities. Both races supported the Old Republic, and resisted the onslaught of the Empire before pledging allegiance to the New Republic. However, shortly after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Je'Har began to assert their dominance over their human neighbors. They held the humans at bay, even enslaving them and torturing them as their whim saw fit. There were even reports of wholesale slaughter during the YevethanPurge. One survivor of the Je'Har domination was Dolph, who became somewhat gifted in the use of the Force and saw a way to overthrown the Je'Har. Using his remotely-activated droid bombs, Dolph wiped out the Je'Har, although he spared their leaders. He tortured them for a week, avenging the week of suffering they put his parents through. (TNR)

Jehavey'ir
This Mando'a word meant "ambush." (OWS)

Jehltekk Enhancer Valve
This mechanical valve regulates power flow from a power converter. (CFG)

Jeht, Darrus
This man, distinguished by his black eyes and black hair, was dispatched to Almas to bring word to Lanius Qel-Bertuk and the rest of the Almas Academy that the Jedi Council on Coruscant was recalling all available Jedi from their current locations, to assist in augmenting the forces of the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. A former student of Mace Windu, Jeht had been discovered by Master Windu after an incident involving Jeht's parents. Later, he trained on Almas with Lanius Qel-Bertuk, and it was hoped that his presence would alleviate any hard feelings at the loss of so many Jedi personnel.

Once the order had been understood by the Almas Masters, Jeht was to oversee the transfer of personnel to Coruscant, then remain behind to assist in the continuation of training the Padawans who remained on Almas. In this capacity, he and Lanius spent many hours discussing the galactic situation, as well as honing their combat skills with a lightsaber. Master Jeht was not afraid to introduce non-traditional techniques into his fighting style, as Lanius found out when Darrus chose to kick him in the chest at the start of a duel. Without a chance to react, Lanius crumpled to the ground with the wind knocked out of him, and Darrus' blade at his throat. The duel served as a reminder to both men that they needed to use any and all resources at their disposal to survive the fighting of the Clone Wars. Master Jeht also revealed that he was as skilled with two weapons as with one, and often fought with a midnight-black sword as well as his lightsaber.

Lanius still wondered about Jeht's true purpose on Almas, and a discussion with Master Windu only left him with more questions, especially about Jeht's past. About the only thing Jeht revealed was his love of starships, especially the Legacy.

At the height of the Clone Wars, Master Jeht was dispatched by the Almas Academy to locate the gangster known only as "R." He was later stranded briefly on a swamp-covered world, after his starship was shot down by a Dark Jedi. Master Jeht's description of the woman who pursued him to the surface revealed that she was Asajj Ventress. After a long hunt, Ventress managed to confront Master Jeht and impale him with one of her lightsabers, but Jeht refused to die. He called upon an untapped resource of energy within the Force - which he later discovered to be the Dark Side - and nearly killed Ventress in retaliation for the deaths of so many Jedi during the Clone Wars. He might have killed her if a rescue vessel hadn't arrived and interrupted his attempt. Master Jeht was left to recover with the knowledge of how close he came to turning completely to the Dark Side of the Force.

After reporting on the incident to the Jedi Council on Coruscant, Master Jeht returned to Almas with sobering news: the Council had finally ordered the Almas Academy to supply Jedi Knights and Masters to the Grand Army of the Republic. Although he tried to point out that the Almas Jedi were to be given positions of command, Master Jeht's news met with stern disapproval from many of his peers.

When the Reliant and the Devout entered the Cularin System to institute martial law, Jeht reluctantly agreed to let them in, but ordered that Almas was to be left under his personal command. He was later recalled to Coruscant and placed in command of the task force sent to destroy the Starkiller project in the Kro'eval System. The battle went badly, and Master Jeht was forced to shoot the Starkiller down near Kromus. The resulting explosion rendered the planet a lifeless husk, and Master Jeht was recalled to Coruscant immediately.

Instead of being investigated by the Senate, however, he found himself under the direct scrutiny of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Although Palpatine exonerated him of any wrongdoings, Jeht still felt something was amiss when Palpatine asked him if he still trusted the Jedi Council and its actions.

He resolved to return to Almas and find out what was really happening in Cularin, and was en route aboard the Maelstrom when he believed that an incoming transmission from Coruscant was coming from the Jedi Temple. Rather than face the Council's ire, Master Jeht ordered his astromech droid to shut down the ship's communication systems, citing as "unfortunate systems failure." This desparate act may have helped save his life, as only his clone trooper bodyguards actually received the command to execute Order 66. Jeht sensed the coming danger just in time, and managed to hide in a turbolift car while Mar'ek and his troopers laid their ambush. Master Jeht surprised the troopers and eliminated them all but Mar'ek, whom he disarmed and then questioned about the events that were unfolding. Mar'ek calmly explained that Aayla Secura, Trilinae, and the rest of the Jedi Order were dead, and that the galaxy was soon to have a new ruler. Jeht, blinded by anger and emotion like never before, plunged his lightsaber into Mar'ek's face, killing the defenseless trooper. Jeht then recovered the Legacy and returned to his flagship, the Maelstrom, before setting off for Cularin on his own.

Because the Malestrom was in a communications blackout, a situation that was maintained by Master Jeht's astromech droid, R-0, the clones on board were unaware of the command to carry out Order 66. Thus, Jeht was able to command them as their General, and ordered them to reach Cularin as soon as possible. Upon returning to Cularin, he witnessed several Republic warships gunning down transport vessels filled with members of the Almas Academy. In a daring ruse, he had R-0 send out communications to the Republic vessels, claiming to be a friendly vessel. Jeht then had the astromech droid send out remote signals that made it appear as if the Republic gunships Primal and Undaunted were actually Separatist vessels.

This ruse worked perfectly, and would have allowed Jeht and his own clone troopers to destroy the two gunships and reach Almas with only minimal damage. However, after the gunships were destroyed, the Separatist vessel Shadowblade suddenly appeared in the Cularin System. Master Jeht and his crew were unable to maneuver or fire on the larger ship, but could not let it reach Cularin. In yet another act of desparation, Master Jeht ordered his clone troopers to ram the Shadowblade. As they maneuvered into position, though, they discovered a temporal rift moving through the Cularin System. Jeht changed his plans, and ordered the clones to lock on the Shadowblade with all her tractor beams. Once locked together, Jeht then ordered the crew of the Maelstrom to plunge both vessels into the temporal rift. In a blinding flash of light and time, both ships disappeared into the rift. Master Jeht, his ship, and his crew were never seen again. (LFCW)

Jeisel, Sian
This female Devaronian was one of the many Jedi Masters who felt that the Jedi Order was becoming too militaristic, during the early years of the Clone Wars. She left the Order to follow Sora Bulq to Ruul in protest of the Jedi's participation in the war. Distinguished by her large, pointed ears and the pattern of dark spots that covered her skin, Master Jeisel left the Jedi because she felt that the Jedi were becoming as corrupt as the Old Republic they served.

When Master Mace Windu arrived on Ruul to mediate a truce, Jeisel acted as the voice of reason among Master Bulq's ardent followers.

After Mira's death at the hands of Asajj Ventress, Jeisel found herself working with Master K'kruhk to try and hold their small band together. They tried to rescue Rhad Tarn from Ventress, but Rhad had already begun his turn to the Dark Side of the Force. In a heated lightsaber battle, Jeisel was forced to kill Tarn in order to survive. She was then nearly killed by Ventress, but the timely intervention of Master Windu allowed her a brief escape.

When it was revealed that Bulq and Ventress were in league with each other, K'kruhk and Jeisel decided to rejoin Master Windu, at least in order to eliminate the threat they posed. She could not bring herself to return to the Jedi Order, however, since it still was tied to the Republic she feared was too corrupt.

After seeing the atrocities Count Dooku was willing to commit in the name of freedom, Jeisel decided that the Republic was worth fighting for, and she returned to battle with Master Tsui Choi. Their ship was attacked near Drongar, and boarded by Dooku himself. Dooku let the Jedi return to Coruscant, but ordered his forces to eliminate any clone troopers aboard the ship.

Jeisel later served as a General under Quinlan Vos and Oppo Rancisis during the Siege of Saleucami, although she found herself unable to fully trust Vos' motivations during the conflict. When the battle for control of the planet was launched, Jeisel and Master K'Kruhk were placed in charge of the ground forces that attacked the Separatist stronghold on the planet. After the Republic's forces were successful, mainly due to Quinlan's surprising success against Sora Bulq, Jeisel was forced to admit that she had begun to trust Quinlan again.

After leaving Saleucami, Jeisel and K'Kruhk were attacked by Separatist warships, and were forced to detour to Bogden Three for repairs. Their arrival on the moon occurred just days before Chancellor Palpatine issued the command to execute Order 66. When the command reached the clones on Bogden Three, they opened fire on all the Jedi, even the younglings. Master Du Mahn gave her life protecting a group of children, and Master K'Kruhk was only able to escape with a few survivors. In order to ensure their survival, Jeisel protected the landing pad with her lightsaber, until the clones confronting her began to overwhelm her. Drawing upon the Force, Jeisel, activated a thermal detonator being held by one of the clones, sacrificing herself to destroy the clones and allow Master K'Kruhk and the younglings a chance to escape. (OWS, J1, J4, RSOS, NECH, NEGA, SWI95, DT2)

Jek
This clean-shaved clone troopers was noted for his bald pate and his love of blaster weapons. Among his comrades in the Grand Army of the Republic, Jek never seemed to enjoy anything but cleaning his rifle. He was, however, loyal to the end, and gladly accepted any assignment that was given to him by his commanders. Jek and his squad were part of the team that was assembled under Commander Thire, to accompany Jedi Master Yoda on a diplomatic mission to Rugosa, where Yoda hoped to enlist the aid of the Toydarians during the Clone Wars. Only Thire, Rys, and Jek managed to reach Rugosa's surface after their cruiser was attacked by Separatist warships. However, their combined abilities allowed Yoda to reach King Katuunko and gain the aid of the Toydarians in the coming battles. (CWOC1, CWTV01)

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

Jekai
This Mando'a word meant "bait." (OWS)

Jekka
This plant was native to the planet Lannik. It was noted for its lightweight seeds, which were carried by streams and rivers until they washed ashore. In this way, entire groves of jekka plants evolved along the banks of these waterways. (CN1)

Jekk'Jekk Tarr
This tavern, known for its ability to cater to the atmopsheric needs of many different species, was located on Nar Shaddaa, during the Jedi Civil War. Depending on what was being breathed or smoked in any given room, there was a potential for injury or death if a being inhaled something noxious by mistake. Most humans were unable to enter the Jekk'Jekk Tarr without a heavy-duty breath mask or environment suit. Among the races that the bar tended to were Gands and Morseerians. (KOTOR2)

Jela
A common name given to Twi'lek males, this name meant "sword". (GCG)

Jela'han
This Twi'lek owned a starship repair and modification garage on Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. He obtained most of his parts from Shellar, since the two had a deal to overcharge clients for referrals to their respective businesses. (GMR2)

Jelasi
This Hutt was one of Kumac's main rivals, both during Jabba's leadership of the Hutt crime empire and after Jabba's death. Many inside Jabba's organization believed Jelasi was Jabba's chosen successor. In the wake of Jabba's death, Jelasi assumed control of the Ig'zxyck Flare organization and began to "legitimize" Hutt criminal activities. This earned him the ire of many Hutts, including Kumac, during the early years of the New Republic. Jelasi earned the business of much of the Imperial remnant during this time, as the Empire tried to maintain a low-key approach to regaining power. (GG11)

Jelavan, Shad
This young man was one of the most promising Jedi Padawans who were being trained by Master Lucien Draay on Taris, during the years following the Great Sith War. As an infant, Shad was orphaned in the Middle City with his sister, Shel, when their parents were killed in an accident. He was discovered by a Jedi who recognized his connection to the Force, and was trained as a Jedi almost from birth. Despite his obvious skills with the Force, Shad remained a loyal friend to his fellow Padawans, including the often inept Zayne Carrick. He continued to urge Zayne to work hard, explaining that the galaxy was in need of more Jedi Knights, regardless of their skill level. He even tried to buoy Zayne's spirits by claiming that he believed Zayne was simply acting foolish in order to lull the other Padawans into a false sense of security. Shad and the other Padawans were invited to a special ceremony by Master Lucien and the other Jedi instructors on Taris, to mark their achievements and ready them for their futures. Unknown to the Padawans, however, was that Lucien and the Masters were planning to murder the Padawans. Before they could react, Shad and the others were cut down by their instructors. Only Zayne survived, having arrived late to the ceremony. The media reacted to the story with intense interest, and dubbed the four murdered Padawans as the Taris Four. (KOR1, LPSS)

Jelavan, Shay
This small boy was the younger brother of Shad and Shel Jelavan. In the wake of the Padawan Massacre, Shel received a large sum of credits from an unknown benefactor, and used it to send Shay to stay with his grandparents on Ord Mantell. (KOR7)

Jelavan, Shel
This young woman was Shad Jelavan's sister. She was also an orphan, after their parents were killed in an accident in the Middle City of Taris. She became good friends with Shad's fellow Padawan, Zayne Carrick, but her feelings for him changed after the media claimed that Zayne was responsible for Shad's death during the Padawan Massacre. Her suspicions about Zayne were only heightened when Shel was contacted by Ranna Tey, who had fled into the Lower City of Tarris when the Mandalorians launched their invasion of the planet. Shel was a member of the Hidden Beks at the time, having joined up to help the resistance, and Ranna Tey had foreseen that Zayne would return to Taris. Ranna Tey gave Shel the crystal from Shad's lightsaber as a remembrance, and eventually convinced Shel to kill Zayne. Shel might have succeeded when she first was reunited with Zayne, but her first blaster bolt deflected off the briefcase he was carrying. Zayne was knocked to the floor, and Ranna Tey ordered her to kill him, but Shel refused. Raana Tey was stopped by Senator Goravvus, giving Shel a chance to get away from Zayne and collect her thoughts.

When Zayne tried to talk to her later, Shel initially refused, but then agrily opened up to him. She explained that she had placed a bounty on his head, but she had been unaware that the credits used to fund the bounty had actually come from Zayne himself. In the wake of the Padawan Massacre, Zayne had fallen into the credits while working with Marn Hierogryph, and sent the money back to Shel so that she could get her family off Taris. Shel then explained that the actual posting of the bounty had been stalled by the Mandalorian invasion of Taris. In the days that followed, Shel joined Zayne 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.

The mission ran into problems when Zayne learned that Cassus Fett was not in the building, and that the Mandalorians had all left. Shel discovered that there was more trouble when Raana Tey took advantage of the situation to try and kill Zayne once and for all. However, rather than allow this to happen, Shel took her brother's lightsaber and stabbed Raana Tey through the chest. Shel explained to Zayne that he was still not a killer, and that she had finally realized that he was telling the truth. She then disappeared into the crowd, but agreed to help Zayne in any way that she could. Shel eventually traveled to Coruscant, where she was able to meet up with Alek Squinquargesimus. Together, they provided a link between Zayne and Jedi Masters Vrook Lamar and Vandar Tokare. (KOR1, KOR7, KOR9)

Jelldar
This was one of the six major continents found on the planet Celanon. (PG1)

Jellrek, Antoll
This ruthless Imperial Moff controlled the Galov Sector during the New Order. A gaunt-looking man with a pointed, evil beard, Jellrek lived on the planet Romar. He was killed when Platt Okeefe and Tru'eb Cholakk killed Big Quince during their escape from slavery. (SWJ2, SWJ11)

Jellybee
This unusual species of flying insects was native to the planet Nedij. Each jellybee moved about on rapidly-beating wings, and was distinguished by the stinging tendrils that hung from the rear of its body. The sting of an individual jellybee was not harmful to the Nediji, but the stings of a swarm of jellybees could cause intense pain and agony. (CN1)

Jellyfish Cove
This small planetoid was the site of an Imperial prison colony during the Galactic Civil War. It was covered with rolling oceans broken by a barren, twisted landscape. The deserts were littered with statues of sensuous humanoids. When the sun was shining, these statues were beautiful to behold. When the sunlight disappeared, though, these statues suddenly came to life. They were actually a race composed of unique tissue that solidified in sunlight. The prison colony was scantily manned, for the Imperials were just as susceptible to the humanoids as the prisoners. Thus, many times the Empire employed smugglers or down-on-their-luck spacers to guard the outpost. The prison ships made sure to deliver their cargos during the day, so as to avoid the humanoids. (GAL4, TMEC)

Jelok
This man was part of the Empire's research team MS-133, and was working among the ruins of the planet Aaris III when the native Aaris began attacking the team. It was Jelok who discovered the Place of Kastays, but his request to continue exploring the ruins during the Aaris attacks was overruled by Doctor Brunou. (DARK)

Jelon
This Imperial Navy Commander served as Admiral Greelanx's second-in-command during the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. (THG)

Jemba
This Hutt was placed in charge of Offworld Mining Company's operations on the planet Bandomeer. As ruthless as any other Hutt, Jemba relied on slave labor and sabotage of his competitor's operations to remain at the top of heap. Among the rumors that surrounded Jemba was the story that he destroyed a rival's atmospheric containment system at a mining outpost on the planet Varristad, killing over a quarter of a million beings and ensuring a huge profit for Offworld. During a regular run to collect guards and slaces for use in the mines of Bandomeer, Jemba and his lieutenant Grelb were caught aboard the transport barge Monument when it came under attack by pirates. They had been pestered by the investigations of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Si Treemba, and after being forced to land on an uncharted world, Jemba vowed to eliminate the Jedi and reclaim his workers. However, while trying to kill Qui-Gon Jinn and starve the Arconan workers of his competitors, Jemba's camp was attacked by draigons. Grelb tried to shoot young Obi-Wan, who was fighting off the draigons, but managed instead to hit Jemba. The blasts from Grelb's gun pierced Jemba's hearts, killing him instantly and rendering his efforts to naught. (RF)

Jemian
This small, avian creature was domesticated and raised for its tasty eggs. (GG3)

Jemlaat-class Yacht
This ancient starship design was produced by Hyrotil. It employed a variety of passive propulsion systems, including the use of solar sails to collect interstellar radiation and to harness the movement of solar winds. Because of these limitations, the original Jemlaat-class ships were developed for in-system use only. Adventurous pilots were known to travel between star systems whenever the proximity of stars provided them with sufficient solar winds, but this type of travel was dangerous at best. Should a pilot get caught between stars without enough solar wind, a meager sublight engine was used for emergency propulsion. The Jemlaat-class yacht measured 22 meters in length, and could accommodate up to four passengers and 20 metric tons of cargo. Hyrotil later produced a version of the Jemlaat-class yacht which was equipped with only sails, but these craft were produced for racing activities only. (SWJ15)

Jemmy
This gambler and his comrades, Tol and Chral, were known for their ability to separate wealthy gamers from their credits. They traveled the galaxy in search of casinos where the other gamblers were usually amateurs, in order to increase their chances of winning. They were aboard the Ananuru Express when Hakon de Ville tried to auction off information on a secret Imperial project, sometime after the Battle of Yavin. (CH72)

Jempa
This young Whiphid was a member of the Bear Clan of Jedi students, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. (CHRN2)

Jempa
This was a common name among the Whiphid race. (UANT)

Jen
This teenager was part of the Alliance forces dispatched to Sulon to help the rebels in their attempt to throw off Imperial subjugation. Jen was killed when the Imperial freighter, under the command of Lieutenant Brazack, shot down the missile he was trying to fire. The missile exploded, killing all the rebels in its blast radius. (SFE)

Jenarar
This Mando'a word meant "feint." (OWS)

Jen'ari
This was an ancient Sith term that literally meant "dark lord." It was first used to describe The Exiles who subjugated the planet Korriban in the wake of the Hundred-Year Darkness, giving rise to the title of "Dark Lord of the Sith." (OWS)

Jenathaza
This Dug was a member of Sebolto's gang during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Ghazdik Jah worked as a hired gun during his employment with Sebolto, a role that often involved the murder of certain Gran politicians and their aides. The Malastare Special Service issued a bounty for his capture after they uncovered a plot to assassiante Senator Ainlee Teem. This bounty was later claimed by Jango Fett during his attempt to meet with Sebolto. (BH)

Jenbean
This man served the Old Republic as a Lieutenant in the military, during the height of the Clone Wars. Lieutenant Jenbean served at the Senatorial Communications Center on Coruscant, and was the watch officer on duty when the Separatists aired a transmission from Praesitlyn, in which Reija Momen was forced to read a prepared statement from Pors Tonith. Jenbean brought the message straight to Chancellor Palpatine himself. Jenbean was confused when Palpatine chose not to act on the transmission, preferring to wait to see how events on Praesitlyn fell out. His confusion led to anger, and he decided to sent a copy of the transmission to someone he flet would be able to save Momen. (JT)

Jendar
This planet was the site of numerous battles during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ4)

Jendar
This was one of the more common names given to Dantari individuals. (UANT)

Jendar Campaign
This was the name given to the battles which were fought for control of the planet Jendar, during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ4)

Jendirian Valley
This Coruscant-based AA-9 transport ship was pressed into duty ferrying refugees from the city-world, during the months leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. Anakin Skywalker accompanied Senator Padme' Amidala back to Naboo aboard this ship, after a second assassination attempt was made on her life. (VD2)

Jendirian Valley III
see Jendirian Valley Three (MF)

Jendirian Valley Three
This Action-class bulk freighter was outbound from Nar Shaddaa when it smashed into the Stellar Envoy, shortly after the end of the Clone Wars. The Stellar Envoy was all but destroyed, and the crew was believed to have died in the crash. (MF)

Jendon
This Imperial Colonel was a former test pilot, and was known as the first pilot to fly the TIE Defenders to roll off the production line. During the period leading up to the Battle of Endor, Jendon served as Darth Vader's personal shuttle pilot. (CCG11)

Jendorn
This planet was located in the Borderlands Regions. It was the site of a major battle between the New Republic and the Empire, during the years following the Galactic Civil War, and was noted for the way in which Gottu and Idow attacked and subdued an Imperial outpost near Bruzion with just a vibroaxe and a a pair of blasters. (DFRSB, OWS)

Jendowanian, Greeata
This female Rodian served as one of dancers for the Max Rebo Twelve, shortly before Jabba the Hutt's death on Tatooine. Several years before the Clone Wars, she was ostracized as a child because she loved music and dancing more than hunting and killing. Her parents tried their best to change her into a "normal" Rodian child, but she resisted. Instead, she studied the music of various cultures and learned how to dance. After completing her schooling on Rodia, she managed to sneak aboard the Kuari Princess and caught the attention of Sy Snootles. Sy asked her to play kloo horn in a concert, and Greeata happily agreed, often working a second gig at the Green Planet nightclub on Tothis. After a rowdy Rodian suggested that Greeata return to Rodia and marry him, Greeata and Sy left the Kuari Princess and eventually caught up with Evar Orbus and the Max Rebo Band. The band took in Sy, since they needed a singer, but would only take Greeata if she could dance, and only then on a per diem basis. Along with Lyn Me and Rhystaal, Greeata often performed to the music of the Max Rebo Twelve at Jabba's palace, shortly before the crimelord's death. It was at this time, some fifteen years after originally being hired by Evar Orbus, that Greeata was made a full member of the band. However, following Jabba's death at the Pit of Carkoon, Greeata and Lyn Me used their survival skills - proving that Greeata had learned something in school on Rodia - to help the band survive the desert and the tumult which followed. Greeata and Rystall later joined the Palpatones, where they were reunited with Joh Yowza. Greeata became their lead singer, and her voice captivated a huge audience, giving her a new-found popularity that outshined anything she had experienced before. (RJSE, CCG9, MTSE, SWI67, VD3)

Jenenma
A planet. (WOA19)

Jenet
Native to the planet Garban, these aliens have pale pink skin, deep red eyes, and white fur. By almost every galactic standard, the Jenets were considered ugly and quarrelsome. Jenets have large ears and noses, and have developed keen senses of hearing, smell, and sight. These senses allow them to gather food, and their digestive system was adaptable enough to allow them to eat just about anything. Thus, they were often found scavenging for food rather than hunting for it. The Jenet race was also physically adept, and can run, jump, climb, and swim when needed. Jenets can also dislocate their limbs in order to squeeze into small spaces. Descended from rodents, they have vast memories, and were often considered quarrelsome due to their images of own self-importance. However, the Jenet culture prohibited an individual from introducing themselves, as a way to prevent fraudulent credentials from being passed. Because of this, two Jenet may never learn each others' names, unless introduced by a third party. Instead, Jenets often greeted each other with insults, as a matter of tradition. They were also extremely reproductive, and nearly wiped themselves out of existence due to overpopulation. They were not immune to Palpatine's subjugation of alien species during his reign as Emperor, and were forced to work in mines dug on their homeworld. (GG4, EGA, CN2)

Jenet
This was the designation of a group of Z-95 Headhunters that were part of the Dimok naval forces, during the latter stages of the Sepan Civil War. (TIEP)

Jenet
This was the native language of the Jenet race, consisting of a collection of squeaks, squeals, chatters, and barks. There was no written form of this language, as much of Jenet lore was maintained in stories and oral histories. (UANT)

Jeneyd
This name was common among members of the T'surr race. (WOTC, UANT)

Jennir, Dass
This white-haired man was one of the many Jedi Masters who accepted military positions when the Clone Wars erupted across the galaxy. Master Jennir was assigned the command of the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic that were dispatched to secure the planet New Plympto, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. When the command to execute Order 66 was issued to his clone commanders, Master Jennir barely escaped into the jungle with his life. However, he was confronted by a Nosaurian named Bomo Greenbark, who had no love for the Jedi, and had to think quickly in order to gain the help of the alien being. Greenbark agreed to help Jennir, but only because the clone troopers were also still killing Nosaurians. Jennir was surprised to find an ally in Greenbark's commander, Rootrock, who provided him transportation back to Coruscant in exchange for Jennir's help in combatting the Imperial forces on New Plympto. Jennir agreed, and eventually made his way back to Coruscant, where he encountered Master Kai Hudorra. Where Jennir hoped to find a way to fight back against Imperial oppression, Hudorra had destroyed his lightsaber and thrown away his life as a Jedi, hoping to blend in and survive until the Force recalled him to duty. Jennir could not convince Hudorra to travel to New Plympto, so he returned without any additional help.

This did not deter him from what he believed to be the right course of action, and Jennir worked with Commander Rootrock's troops to strike back against Imperial forces all over New Plympto. Unfortunately, the Nosaurians were no match for the firepower and sheer numbers of the clone troopers arrayed against them. Even with Jennir's help, the Nosaurians were utterly defeated. Jennir and Greenbark did what they could to deter the clone troopers, then set out to reach the Nosaurian refugees at Cadgel Meadows. However, when they reached the rendezvous site, there was no sign of the refugees. They were taken into the Uhumele by its crew, who explained to them that the refugees had been taken off-planet, to be sold into slavery. In order to get free of the Imperial lock-down, Jennir stole the armor and starfighter of a clone trooper and opened fire on the Valance, condemning the ship for working with the Imperials was urging other transports to flee New Plympto at the same time. This allowed the Uhumele to escape with minimal damage, and travel to Orvax IV in search of Bomo's family. Once on the planet, they learned that Mesa Greenbark and been killed while protecting her daughter, Resa, who had been taken away for sale. Jennir tracked down the slavelord Orso Meeto and demanded information on Resa's whereabouts. The Chagrian provided the name Dezono Qua, but Jennir could not control the rage he felt at Meeto's glib opinion on slaves. Instead of letting him go, Jennir put a gun to Meeto's head and pulled the trigger, killing the Chagrian instantly.

His escape from Meeto's apartments allowed Jennir to come to terms with his new outlook, giving him a chance to reconcile his actions with the Force. However, any solace he might have found was quickly disturbed when they located Dezono Qua on Esseles. There, they learned that Qua had had Resa Greenbark killed and processed as food for his disgusting appetite. Before Bomo could shoot Qua dead, Jennir took matters into his own hands and shot Qua several times in the chest, killing him instantly. When Bomo demanded to know why Jennir had eliminated his chance for revenge, Jennir explained that he had killed Qua so that Bomo would not have the man's death on his conscience. This explanation did little to appease the Nosaurian, who exposed the fact that Jennir was a former Jedi. This put the crew of the Uhumele into a quandry, and forced Jennir to accept that the fact that he was no longer a Jedi, but a Force-sensitive man who was trying to make the galaxy right again.

Ultimately, Jennir left Bomo with the crew of the Uhumele and set off on his own, taking Qua's starship to see where the Force led him. One of his first stops was on Telerath, after he was hired by Ember Chankeli to infiltrate the slaver gangs that had taken hold on the planet. Jennir questioned his own motivations for taking the job, wondering if it was because of his relationship with Bomo, or if it had something to do with an attraction between himself and Ember.

Jensaarai
This was the name used by the Force-wielding population of Suarbi 7/5, who were brought up to follow the Saarai teachings of Nikkos Tyris. The term Jensaarai was a Sith word that meant "hidden followers of the True Way." They were trained as Jedi, and even taught how to create their own lightsabers, but were taught that Obi-Wan Kenobi was one of the greatest users of the Dark Side of the Force. The Jensaarai believed that the Jedi Knights stole their knowledge from the Sith, so the Saarai was the true union of both sets of knowledge. There were three ranks of Jensaarai: Apprentices, Defenders, and Saarai-kaar. When they became Defenders, the Jensaarai created a unique form of personal armor created from cortosis ore and modeled to make them appear to be a vicious creature. Of the Saarai-kaar, there was only one member of that rank at any one point in time. When Leonia Tavira suddenly landed on the moon and executed its Imperial governor, thereby "freeing" them from Imperial control, the Jensaarai quickly grew to trust her. She betrayed that trust, and twisted them into a position in which the only way they could protect their people was to serve as her personal warriors. They were forced to accede, and joined her aboard the Invidious. She also told them that there was a being named Halcyon who would be their undoing, so she forced them to kidnap Mirax Terrik in order to draw Corran Horn to Suarbi 7/5. When they all met in battle, Luke Skywalker made quick work of the Jensaarai while Corran battled the Saarai-kaar. He did not kill them, though, a fact which surprised most of them when they came aroubd after the battle. It was later revealed that the word Jensaarai was a Sith term that means "hidden followers of truth." The last of the true Jensaarai Sith magicians died with Nikkos Tyris, but the new Saarai-kaar continued to train her young son and the other survivors in the ways of the Force. In a strange twist of fate, she taught them that the Jedi Knights were evil, but she also taught them the use of the light side of the Force, since she lacked the ability and education to comprehend the Sith treachings. Thus, when Emperor Palpatine's Jedi purge sent Darth Vader to Suarbi 7/5, Vader killed the Saarai-kaar's son because he felt only the light side emanating from him. When Luke and Corran defeated the Jensaarai and Leonia Tavira, the Saarai-kaar understoof what had happened, and agreed that the Jedi weren't any more evil than the Jensaarai. She agreed to consider sending a delegation of her followers to Yavin 4 for formal training under Luke. (IJ, OWS, EGF, SWMW)

Jentari
This was the name given to the huge, cybernetic organisms which were bred to be the factories of the planet Zonama Sekot.

They were known as shapers to the original Magister, who worked with Sekot to create and train the Jentari. They were given smaller tasks, such as the shaping of Sekotan starships, in order to train them for the task of making the entire planet of Zonama Sekot capable of traveling through hyperspace if a dangerous foe every tried to overtake the planet. Many xenobiologists claim that the Jentari were also responsible for the creation of the boras and the tampasi. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Zonama Sekot made a blind jump into hyperspace to avoid the sabotage of Nom Anor. The Ferroan poeple were forced to flee underground to avoid the ecological damage that occurred on the surface, and the Jentari simply went into hiding. (RP, UF)

This information was revealed to the entire Galactic Senate by Chancellor Palpatine, which came as a complete surprise to Duchess Satine. Jerec's words ran countered to Duchess Satine's claims that the Death Watch was under control, but she had no time discuss the matter with Jerec, for Palpatine claimed that he had been killed in a bombing on the planet Kalevala. Duchess Satine later learned that the recording of Jerec had been falsified in order to serve as the primary evidence to support a Republic invasion of Mandalore, and the invasion was called off when the evidence was presented to the Senate. (CWTV36)

Jerec
This Dark Jedi came into power some time after the Battle of Yavin, collecting six disciples in a quest for riches and power. He was unmistakable in a crowd, with a thin, blindfold-like mask covering the holes where his eyes should have been. Dark tattooes embellish his mouth and chin, and his bald pate was accentuated by a heavy brow. He was completely blind, but used the Force to appear to "see" despite his injuries. Many beings assumed that Jerec was a human who had lost his eyes in battle, but he was actually a Miraluka, and thus was born without the ability to see. He was discovered by Jedi Master Jocasta Nu, during her ternue with the ExplorCorps. He trained as her Padawan, and learned her insatiable desire for knowledge, eventually becoming one of the Jedi Order's foremost archaeologists. After becoming a Jedi Knight, he took Ameesa Darys as a Padawan and eventually became a Jedi Master. Before turning to the Dark Side of the Force, Jerec was dispatched on a mission to recover ancient artifacts during the Clone Wars, just before the Jedi Purge took place. He returned to Coruscant to find the New Order fully established, and tried to flee. He and his team were eventually captured by High Inquisitor Tremayne and returned to Coruscant. Rather than allow himself to be killed, Jerec pledged his allegiance to the Empire and obtained training from the Dark Side adepts of Palpatine's own Prophets of the Dark Side. After sufficient training, Jerec served Emperor Palpatine as an Inquisitor for many years. During the Galactic Civil War, Jerec was to obtain the entity known as Spore for the Emperor's use. He failed to secure the entity before it infected Hodge, but tracked Spore to Ithor. He offered Spore the chance to control thousands of minds, if Spore agreed to work for him. Jerec had hoped that Spore would take control of the crew of his warship, the Vengeance. However, Spore had its own plans, and used the Vengeance to try and hunt down Tash Arranda. As it tried to follow her through the asteroids near Ithor, a group of space slugs began battering the Star Destroyer, knocking out its shields and causing it to explode. It was unknown how Jerec survived the explosion, but he managed to escape in a Starfly and ordered a recovery team to pick up the pieces of the Vengeance. The primary piece was the ship's computer core, which he later installed in the Vengeance II. During the Galactic Civil War, Jerec was given access to Emperor Palpatine's Dark Side Compendium, and believed that he could establish the Dark Side Elite on his own. Palpatine sensed Jerec's intentions and cut off his access to the tome, but Jerec never forgot the power of the Dark Side Elite. His quest for knowledge was sparked by the information he found in the Dark Side Compendium, and was ignited when he learned of the Vally of the Jedi from Lord Cronal. After the Battle of Endor, Cronal - under the guise of Blackhole - explained to Jerec that Emperor Palpatine had not truly died, as was reported on the HoloNet. Instead, Blackhole explained that Palpatine was hiding in the Deep Core. Blackhole then urged Jerec to locate the Valley of the Jedi, for the honor and glory of the Emperor. He began to collect the individuals he believed would serve as the new Dark Side Elite. Unknown to Blackhole, though, was the fact that Jerec was already planning to find the Valley in order to enhance his own powers. He murdered Qu Rahn and Morgan Katarn in his quest for more information about its location, and ultimately learned of its coordinates on Ruusan. Jerec and his Dark Jedi would have had the Valley's secrets for their own if not for Morgan's son, Kyle, who defeated Jerec's minions on the very precipice of the Valley's power source. Jerec himself briefly experienced the true power of the Valley, but his rapturous connection was severed by Katarn. Instead of simply dying, Jerec's spirit was drawn down into the Valley, where it was doomed to linger with the rest of the ancient Sith for millennia. (DF2, GOF9, DSSB, RAG, RDR, WOTC, NECH)

Jerriko, Dannik
A 1010-year-old Anzati assassin, Jerriko was known in the underworld as the Eater of Luck. As an Anzati, Jerriko operated with almost total anonymity; thus, he preferred to work for people who needed other bounty hunters, killers, and assassins taken out. He felt a greater thrill from drinking the soup of someone who defied his right to kill than from someone who cowered in fear. While stopping over on Tatooine, he visited Mos Eisley. There, he knew, he could get some of the best soup from some of the galaxy's most notorious criminals. When Ben Kenobi and Luke Skywalker entered the cantina, Jerriko was at the bar, smoking a nic-i-tain hookah. After the events surrounding the death of Greedo, Jerriko resolved to hunt down Han Solo and drink his soup. His chance came when Jabba the Hutt recovered Solo's carbonite-frozen body. Jerriko was eager to enter the palace, and would have done so on his own if he hadn't been approached by the Lady Valarian and Eugene Talmont, both of whom wanted him to spy on Jabba. Jerriko took both jobs, and entered the palace. He tried desparately to drink Han Solo's soup, but was deprived of it when Solo was rescued by Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. Then, Jerriko went a little mad, and resigned himself to drinking Jabba's soup. After learning that Jabba had perished at the Pit of Carkoon, Jerriko went even more mad, killing anyone he could find in the palace. He then fled, and took on a number of bounty hunting jobs.

The tribe's elder, Bafor, ruled that all three should fight each other, with Ahsoka either winning her freedom or becoming the property of the victor. Jeru was defeated by Nardek, but Nardek was no match for Ahsoka and her control of the Force. Ultimately, Ahsoka proved victorious, and Bafor agreed to give her her freedom. It was then that Ahsoka explained to Bafor that Separatist forces were attempting to take control of Taloraan. Jeru was forced to agree with her, because it explained the strange ship he discovered hiding in the clouds. Although Bafor initially wanted no part in the coming battle, Ahsoka promised him that the Denfrandi would provide the Wind Raiders with food and supplies, in exchange for their help. Jeru and several other Wind Raider warriors were allowed to accompany Ahsoka back to Taloraan City, where they were instrumental in helping the Republic defeat the Separatists. Once the battle was over, Jeru revealed that Bafor had made Ahsoka an honorary Wind Raider, and Jeru took it upon himself to teach her how to fly a fleft-wauf. (CWWRT)

Jer'usk
This immense, aquatic predator was native to the deep oceans of the planet Goroth Prime. Measuring an average of 75 meters in length, the jer'usk was one of a handful of aquatic beasts which lived its entire life under the water. Jer'usk have been observed breaching their incredible bulks out of the water more than twenty meters, then crashing back into the water. The resulting shock wave stuns all fish in the immediate area, allowing the jer'usk to feed with some leisure. When required, though, a jer'usk can swim quite fast, especially in order to heave its body out of the water. A group of these creatures were referred to as jer'uskae. (GSE)

This massive space station was located in orbit around the planet Pantolomin, during the era of the Mandalorian Wars. Originally constructed by Lhosan Industries, and named in honor of Jervo Thalien, the station was known as the gaming center of the galaxy, at least as far as swoopdueling was concerned. Lhosan Industries used its sponsorship of Jervo's World as a platform to market its new lines of swoops and speederbikes. The central core of Jervo's World was a disc-shaped complex of hotels, shopping malls, and business offices. Hanging down from this disc was the main hangar area, where seven huge pods contained docking space for ships of all shapes and sizes. Ringing the main disc was a collection of gaming arenas that were connected by a network of transport tubes.

Her strange ideals were reinforced by their acceptance among her company officials, and became a part of the corporate persona. Jesa Corporation was the first outfit to mine the planet Pergitor, and helped transform it from merely a beautiful world to a major commercial and scientific location. About 100 years before the Battle of Yavin, the continual mining of the planet resulted in an increase in volcanic activity, although mining did not stop. The resulting volcanic eruptions - brought on by the thinning of the planet's crust - filled the atmosphere with toxic chemicals and rendered the world uninhabitable. (GG6)

This was the name given to the male leviathan calf, born in the oceans of Dorumaa around the time of the Battle of Naboo. It was hoped that Jessel and its sibling, Titon, had simply been abandoned by their mother after their birth, but it was later learned that their mother had died in labor. The Alliance for the Creation of Habitable Environments monitored the growth and development of the calves, hoping to preserve what they believed were the only two leviathan's left in Dorumaa's seas. In order to track Jessel, a tracking beacon was implanted on his skin. This didn't stop Rufus Trammel from making a daring theft of Jessel, in an attempt to reap a huge profit from the leviathan's growing popularity. His plans to sell the beast off-world nearly succeeded, but were ultimately thwarted by a group of freelance agents who managed to release the leviathan. (LFCW, DC)

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, Jester and his squad mates were questioned by Captain Rex and Commander Cody about a possible spy in their team. Jester explained that he had been cleaning his weapon when the spy was active, an alibi that was corroborated by several of his fellow clone troopers. (CWOC1, CWTV16)

This Clone Commander served under Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. When the Grand Army of the Republic was ordered to return to Geonosis and capture Poggle the Lesser, Commander Jet and Master Ki were part of a three-pronged attack, working with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakion Skywalker to apprehend the Geonosian leader. Their attack was met with stern opposition from the Geonosians, and Jet's gunship was shot down before it could land on the planet. The fighters inside survived the crash landing, although Jet was wounded, and the AT-TE they were carrying also made it through the rough landing. (CWTV27)

Jet Injector
This was the generic term used to describe any tiny injection system that could be used to administer a drug.

Jeth, Arca
A humanoid Arkanian, Arca was a Jedi Master from the planet Arkania. Note that in Tales of the Jedi: Redemption, Master Arca is portrayed with four fingers and a thumb. Master Jeth came to the galactic forefront during the Great Droid Revolution, when he discovered a way to short-circuit a droid through the use of the Force. In the wake of the uprising, he agreed to oversee the planet Onderon. However, rather than become the system's Watchman, he sent Ulic Qel-Droma, Ulic's brother Cay, and Tott Doneeta to the planet. Master Jeth later assisted them on the planet, when Queen Amanoa was revealed to have been one of the most powerful Naddists on the planet. After defeating Amanoa's bid for power, Master Jeth concealed Freedon Nadd's Sith lore in a tomb on the Dxun Moon. Several months later, he refused Exar Kun's request to see the Sith artifacts from Freedon Nadd's ship. While attending the Jedi Assembly on Deneba, Mater Jeth was among the many Jedi who were killed when Krath war droids descended on the Jedi and began attacking. Ten years after the Great Sith War, Arca's spirit appeared to Ulic Qel-Droma on Rhen Var, and urged the distraught man to abandon his plans for suicide and depend on his inner strength to survive.

Jettster, Dexter
A male Besalisk with a heavy-set body and four thick arms, Dexter - known to his friends as simply Dex - was a mechanic who worked for various oil-harvesting operations during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Note that Star Wars Gamer #10 indicates that Dexter was a member of the Ojum race. He developed a love for cooking during this time, although many of his fellow crewbeings wondered how much of "special recipes" were imbued with lubricants and oils found on the worksite. More than a decade before the Battle of Naboo, Dexter took a job running weapons out of a bar on Ord Sigatt. He was approached by Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was still a Padawan learner apprenticed to Qui-Gon Jinn. Dexter figured out that Kenobi was a Jedi from his robes, and believed that he had come to put an end to his gun-running operation, which had been set up to help the colonists of Ord Sigatt defend themselves from the security forces of Denon-Ardru Mutual. Kenobi was simply looking for information around the disappearance of the Hardy Harrow, but allowed Dexter to continue speaking. Dexter gave Kenobi a wealth of information on the ship, and in return, Kenobi agreed not to let anyone know about Dexter's clandestine operations.

After spending many years as a smuggler and gunrunner, Dex retired to Coruscant, where he purchased Didi's Café from Didi Oddo when the previous owner retired. In this role, Dex was able to covertly gather a wealth of information on politicians and businessbeings, which he stored in an expansive databank. Dexter was reunited with Obi-Wan Kenobi at this time, and served as an invaluable source of information for the Jedi Knight. Obi-Wan discovered that Dex could be an incredibly loyal friend, who would kill if necessary, as well as give his life for those beings he cared about. Years later, Dexter provided Obi-Wan with information on the Kamino saber-dart that the Jedi discovered in the neck of Zam Wesell. The information allowed Obi-Wan to piece together Jango Fett's role in the attacks on Senator Padme' Amidala. Dexter remained loyal to the Jedi Order, even when public sentiment began to turn against the Jedi. In the wake of the Clone Wars, however, Dexter was accused of subversion and aiding the enemies of the Empire, and was targetted for arrest after helping Jedi Master Fy-Tor-Ana. Rather than give in to the Empire, Dexter abandoned his diner and joined the Erased, hoping to strike back against the Empire at a later time. He was located shortly afterward by Ferus Olin, who had returned to Coruscant in an attempt to track down Fy-Tor-Ana and bring her to safety. Dexter maintained a low profile, establishing a base of operations in the so-called Orange District and helping members of the Erased reach safety.

When Astri Oddo returned to Coruscant with her son, Lune, Dexter agreed to help them find a safe haven where they could start a new life, without the interference of Astri's former husband. Bog Divinian. He also helped handle the efforts of many beings who wanted to find ways to escape from Imperial persecution, and had planned to use his databank to help Flame start working toward a more concerted rebellion. However, Imperial spies learned of the operations in the Orange District, and destroyed much of the area known as Thugger's Alley. Dex was injured in the attack, and was forced to move about in a repulsorchair. In order to keep as much of the operation going as possible, Dex executed his own escape plans, which involved destroying his data before the Imperials could decipher it. He was shot during the escape, but was pulled to safety by Keets Freely and Curran Caladian. The group was forced into hiding, but Keets was able to get a message to Oryon that they were safe.

However, upon being reunited with the others, Dex announced that he was going to remove himself from the resistance. Along with Keets and Curran, Dexter 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. (OWS, JQ2, E2N, VD2, SWDB, GMR10, LJ3, LJ7, LJ9, LJ10, LLOW)

Jetu
This Mandalorian word was used almost as an expletive to describe a member of the Jedi Order. (LF8)

Jetz
This form of sanctioned combat was popular during the last decades of the Old Republic, and was noted more for its strategy than its brutality. In a jetz match, combatants squared off against each other in a small ring, and spent most of their time searching for weaknesses or mannerisms that could be used to upset their opponents. In many cases, a jetz match was decided on the first fall, so technique and speed often won out over strength and size. (MBS)

Jev, Ilo
This Imperial Colonel was a native of the planet Wyloff. He grew up as the son of a local broadcast personality, and was eventually recruited by the Imperial News Network. His performance within the Wyloff Sector Plexus was exemplary, and he rose quickly in an area where promotions were scarce. After being promoted to Commander, Jev learned that his father had been killed by Imperial agents for being "subversive and treasonous" in his broadcasts. Jev knew this was a lie, and that his father had only been reporting the truth about Moff Varnier's lack of government. Using his position within Sector Plexus, he learned that Varnier was assassinating any individual who opposed his rule. Varnier even had an agent hidden within the Wyloff Sector Plexus. Angry over his father's death, Jev hunted down the agent and arrested him as a supporter of the Alliance. Jev was promoted to Colonel and given command of the Xector Plexus, and his command of the unit was demanding and short-tempered. Jev was later recruited to be an Alliance agent by Vin Northal, and he agreed to assist as a way to enact revenge for the billions of lives exterminated by the Empire. (CRO)

The facility on Jevelet was set aside as a way to isolate some of he galaxy's most dangerous and unrepenting criminals. Any being who could not be rehabilitated at facilities such as the Valorum Center were transported to Jevelet for incarceration. (RC66)

Jevesect
This unusual herbivore was native to the agricultural world of Herzob. Measuring about a meter and a half in length, and weighing up to seventy kilograms, the jevesect resembled a huge insect. Its cartiliginous exoskeleton was designed to distribute its body weight, and they moved about on six spindly legs. A pair of wings provided assistance in moving about, although the jevesect did not fly. Instead, it made long hops across the ground. Unlike insects, however, jevesects breathed using a pair of lungs, and many of their internal organs were more mammal-like than insectoid. The jevesects were one of the few creatures found on Herzob that were neither exterminated or domesticated by the settlers to transformed the planet into an agricultural center. This was due in part to the fact that jevesects used to have a period each year where they went dormant, burrowing underground for many months. However, as the environment and ecosystem of Herzob changed, the jevesects also adapted, and they evolved to live without the need for a dormant period. This meant that the jevesects could feed on their favorite foods - the crops grown by the settlers - all year long, much to the dismay of the settlers. The jevesects also reproduced quickly, ensuring that new individuals were always being born to replace those lost to exterminators. Exterminating a jevesect was a tricky proposition, since the average individual had a potent defense mechanism. A small organ in their neck produced a casutic acid, which the jevesect could spray at an enemy through a tube in its forehead. This acid was primarily used to break down plant material for easier digestion, but was an effective deterrent when used in self-defense. One unusual aspect of the jevesect was that they were inexplicably tied to the planet Herzob. Specimens which were transported offworld died within forty-eight hours. (WOTC)

This man, a native of the planet Cularin, was one of a growing number of people who felt that the Thaereian Military had overstepped its bounds during the last decades of the Old Republic. Jex's brother was among several hundred natives who disappeared from public view during the years following the onset of the Clone Wars. Many people secretly attributed these disappearances to the Thaereian Military, which spent the nighttime hours removing an vocal opponents to its control of the Cularin System. Jex himself reported his brother's disappearance to the Cularin Office of Protection and Security, which directed the inquiry to the Thaereians. Worried about the disappearances, Jex hid outside the Thaereian headquarters in Hedrett to monitor their transmissions, but picked up only routine communications before the Thaereians called him back.

When Jhorn returned from Endor, he was quickly transferred to a long tour of duty riding the solar focusing mirrors orbiting Coruscant. He was later assigned as a custodian for the Imperial garrison on Tatooine. (ISU)

Ji, Phow
This man, a native of Bunduki and a member of the Followers of Palawa, was an expert in the martial art of teras kasi. Phow Ji won the tournament in Aslaja, just before the onset of the Clone Wars, defeating the Jedi Knight Joclad Danva in a 47-minute fight. It didn't matter to Phow Ji that Danva had detached himself from the Force for the fight; Ji just knew that he had bested a Jedi Knight in hand-to-hand combat. This only made his considerably large ego even bigger, and he often strutted around looking for a fight, just to prove his skills.

At the height of the Clone Wars, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis, Phow Ji was hired by the Grand Army of the Republic to serve as a combat instructor on the planet Drongar. He was given the rank of Lieutenant and assigned to the military hospital known as Rimsoo Seven, where he found himself confronted with two worthy adversaries: Admiral Tarnese Bleyd and Jedi Padawan Barriss Offee. His mystique was quickly established when he defeated Usu Cley without breaking a sweat, but a captured holovid of his unprovoked killing of three Salissian mercenaries caught the ire of the doctors as well as Den Dhur. The Sullustan reporter, having been deprived of a scathing expose' on Filba the Hutt, chose to craft an article on Phow Ji's wanton disregard for life. Den Dhur portrayed him as an evil murderer, but his editors rewrote the article after learning the the Salissians had been working for Count Dooku. Despite the fact that most beings on Drongar regarded him as a brutal thug, Phow Ji was painted as a hero of the Republic, and Den Dhur was blacklisted as a reporter.

After the Salissian incident, Barriss Offee found that she hated Phow Ji, an emotion that rose to the surface very quickly. Phow Ji recognized this, and took every opportunity to taunt the young Padawan. Offee was forced to swallow her pride, however, when she found Phow Ji on the battlefield near Rimsoo Seven. He had been fighting a squad of Salissians, and had defeated them all. Unknown to both, however, another enemy was hidden in the jungles, and managed to impale Phow Ji with a poisoned dart. Offee could not let another being die in front of her, no matter how badly she hated him, and she drew on the Force to remove the poison from his system.

Unfortunately, Phow Ji took the Padawan's actions as a slight, and recklessly plunged into another battle in a fit of berserk rage. Without backup and still recovering, Phow Ji was quickly overrun by Salissian mercenaries. However, rather than dying alone, Phow Ji extracted a large grenade and detonated it in his hand, killing the Salissians and himself as well. The news of his reckless act was twisted by the reporters of the Old Republic and portrayed as a heroic act that had far-reaching benefits for the war effort. A statue in his honor was even erected in Monument Plaza on Coruscant, as part of the continuing propaganda that was created by the Galactic Republic. (HNN5, MBS, MJH, CN1)

This was the term used by the ancient Sith warrior Larad Noon to describe his theory of "integrating the shadow." Under this theory, which was documented in a series of journals Noon left behind on Susevfi when he died, Noon tried to meld his Sith teachings with the Jedi lore he learned as a child. By integrating the dark side with the light, Noon believed that he could justify the countless deaths he caused during the Great Sith War.

Jigani Port
This was the primary spaceport located on the planet Desevro, located on a rocky outcropping above Maslovar and the Swamplands. This location kept it away from the bustle of the city, allowing offworld visitors to get their bearings before venturing into Maslovar. Most of the starship berths were situated atop stone pillars that were carved from the bedrock of the planet, while others seemed to have been cobbled together from older pillars that had fallen over the millennia. Rope bridges connected the berths to the main facility, and spiral staircases carved into the pillars allowed visitors to reach the city itself. (GORW)

Jiivahar
This tree-dwelling species of hairless simians was native to the planet Carest 1. Their form appeared to be lanky and ungraceful, but the jiivahar were exceptionally limber, and moved through the thykar trees with ease. Their fingers and toes were very long, made for grasping branches, and secrete sarvin to help them hold onto them. Their skulls were flattened and elongated, with large eyes. Their skeletons were hollow, making them very light for their size. There were no written laws in Jiivahar society, but every individual was compelled to act according to the needs of the community. (AE)

Jijite
This small, insect-like reptile was native to the open plains of the planet Ansion. They lived in large hives, burrowing into the ground to live among, and feed on, the root systems of the grasses which populated the plains. The jijite workers built tall, stony pillars from miniscule pebbles and an extruded form of mortar, which served to vent warm air from the tunnels below as well as lookout positions for jijite sentries. These pillars were incredibly strong, and could withstand the blunt assault of a kyren flock. (APS)

This woman was the daughter of a Corellian mother and a father who was born on Coruscant. An exceptional student, she was educated on both planets, and was licensed as a university professor well before her thirtieth birthday. During the early years of the New Republic, Jiklip suddenly disappeared from the public eye, and most of the galaxy feared that she had been killed. However, Jiklip had decided to shun the world of academia and take on a career as a smuggler. She changed her appearance and adopted the name Red Stepla, and made a living by carrying unusual cargoes for beings who didn't want to be bothered with the details. Just before the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy, Jiklip returned to the galaxy, taking on the role of a theoretician who had become wealthy over the years and teaching courses on Coruscant and Lorrd. She developed an expertise in the area of interplanetary economics, and became one of the Galactic Alliance's foremost experts on economic reaction to warfare. However, when Thrackan Sal-Solo began making demands for Corellia's independence from the Galactic Alliance, Jiklip once again disappeared, ostensibly to return to Corellia and help them understand the consequences of independence. (LF1)

Jinart
This Gurlanin and her consort, Valaqil, were part of a large group of Gurlanin who agreed to assist the forces of the Old Republic in removing the Separatists who had taken control of their homeworld of Qiilura, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Valaqil was part of the initial intelligence gathering team, along with Jedi Master Kast Fulier and his Padawan, Etain Tur-Mukan. Jinart remained in the field, and managed to track Tur-Mukan to the homestead of Birhan. She assumed the guise of an elderly woman and joined Birhan's clan as a domestic worker, until she could make contact with Tur-Mukan and let her know about the presence of Darman in the nearby woods. Jinart then helped the pair rendezvous with the rest of Omega Squad. She then disappeared into the forests, returning only briefly with information Hokan's movements.

While she was in the fields, Jinart left behind signs that falsely indicated that there were other squads of clone commandos on Qiilura, in an effort to fool Hokan into believing he was dealing with a larger assault force. She also agreed to help with the final assault planned by Omega Squad, and assumed the guise of a human child to infiltrate Lik Ankkit's villa and place several explosives deep inside the building. After Ovolot Qail Uthan was captured- with much assistance from Jinart - she commanded Etain Tur-Mukan to remember her assistance, as well as that of other Gurlanin, so that the Gurlanin people would be left free to pursue their own civilization. Unfortunately, while Etain remembered Jinart and the Gurlanin, the Republic failed to live up to its end of the bargain. Within a year, the Gurlanin were still struggling to survive against the settlers, and they became increasingly disgusted with the Republic. Jinart herself began infiltrating key locations on worlds such as Coruscant and acquiring logistical information on the movements of the Grand Army of the Republic, especially when the inforamtion pertained to Qiilura.

It was on one of these missions, when she was pretending to be Vinna Jiss, that Jinart was captured by Etain and the Null-class ARC Trooper Ordo. Jinart agreed to provide information on the Separatist-backed terrorists who were bombing miliary facilities on Coruscant, but demanded that the Gurlanin be freed. Kal Skirata agreed to discuss the situation with Arligan Zey and the leaders of the GAR. Jinart also agreed to take Etain into hiding on Qiilura, as a favor to Skirata, after it was learned that Etain was pregnant with Darman's son. Jinart struggled with this assignment, since Etain had developed a liking for the other clones, and wanted to lead them from the front. Jinart was forced to remind the girl that she was pregnant, and should not be risking the life of her unborn child, especially when the human colonists of Qiilura refused to leave their homes. Jinart also threatened Darman's life, when the young woman questioned the Gurlanins' role in the destruction of the Core Conveyor. (RCHC, RCTZ, RCTC)

Jinart
This odd woman joined Birhan's family as a domestic worker shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. Jinart performed many duties for Birhan's family, although none of them remembered where she came from or how she came to work for them. This was primarily because Jinart wasn't actually human. In fact, Jinart was one of the many disguises adopted by the Gurlanin known as Jinart, during her assistance to Darman and Etain Tur-Mukan. (RCHC)

Jinathik
This asteroid belt was located in the Garqi System, between the worlds of Garqi and Elsho. (GORW)

(RC66)

Jinda
This race of beings was best-known for the gypsy-like tribes that inhabited the Forest Moon of Endor, although it was believed that they evolved on another world, based on the records of the colony ship Free Enterprise. However, other scientists believed that the Jindas were distant cousins of the Ewoks. The tribes on Endor's moon were noted for the fact that they were constantly getting lost. Years before the Battle of Endor, the Jindas were farmers who lived their lives under the protection of the Rock Wizard. When they made the Rock Wizard angry, the Wizard banished them from his kingdom, forcing them to meander the surface of the moon in search of a new home.

Individual Jindas were distinguished by the tufts of red hair that sprouted from their heads and the tan fur that covered the rest of their bodies, as well as their seemingly boundless energy. No matter the size or shape of an individual, each Jinda seemed equally playful and happy. When threatened or during performances, male Jindas could puff out their necks, exposing red bands that helped make the Jinda look bigger than they really were. As a race, Jindas were herbivores, using their blunt teeth to tear and grind all sorts of plant matter. They were also fond of entertainment, and were capable of performing any number of acts and routines. Although the Jindas were regarded as excellent storytellers, their poor memories often led to more embellishment of a story than an accurate retelling. (ECAR, OWS)

Jing
This young boy was one of the many miners who worked on Katanos VII, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He had been taught that the Jedi Knights were powerful magicians, who could use their connection to the Force to rip out a person's mind. Jing was sent with his father, Andru, to greet Jedi Master Lunis and his apprentice, Obs Kaj, when the pair traveled to Katanos VII to investigate a possible link to the Separatist plan to produce clones. When the Jedi discovered the hidden cloning facility on the planet, Jing was eager to prove himself in battle. However, he was unprepared for the savage attacks of the other miners, and was killed in the fighting. (T19)

Jin'ha
This sinister, criminal organization was active during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. They were discovered by the Jedi Council to have been mining cortosis ore, in an effort to prepare themselves for an attack on the Jedi. Further investigation by Obi-Wan Kenobi revealed that the Jin'ha were, in fact, mining the cortosis ore for the Trade Federation. (SWI59)

Jin-Jin
This Outer Rim smuggler was trained at the Imperial Academy to be a TIE Fighter pilot, but botched one too many missions to remain in his commanding officer's good graces. Rather than face a courtmartial, he tried to steal a TIE Fighter. He was forced to hode aboard the Beggar's Solace, and was taken on a wild ride when the ship's hyperdrive motivator started acting up. Having escaped from Imperial service, Jin-Jin went to work as an independent mercenary, but his ineptitude continued to dog his career. He was forced to capture an entire royal family, after being witnessed trying to rescue their daughter from Imperial custody. When Jin-Jin won a fortune gambling on Mepha'as Prime, he sunk it all into real estate on Alderaan a week before the Empire destroyed the planet. Broke, Jin-Jin took the Beggar's Solace and set out to make a name for himself as a smuggler. He found that he was good at it, and his bumbles became a thing of the past. (SWJ5)

Jink
This was a common name among the Toydarian race. (WOTC, UANT)

Jinkins
This Bith was a known comrade of the Feeorin smuggler Nym. Jinkins was originally employed as an engineer with the Nubian Design Collective, where he was the lead engineer on the development of the Scurrg H-6 bomber. After the Naboo rejected the ship's design, and the Nubians scrapped the project entirely, Jinkins arranged with Nym to steal the only prototype and use it as their own vessel. With Nym, Jinkins served as a sensor and scanner operator aboard the newly renamed Havoc. Nym considered Jinkins the best engineer in the galaxy, rivalled only by the starshipswrights on Charros IV. He piloted the Freefall, a ship he described as a "freefall bomber." Jinkins remained with Nym for many decades, continuing to serve as a chief lieutenant after Nym assumed the leadership of Lok during the height of the New Order. (T7, GMR5, SWI65, NEGV, JSF)

Jinn, Qui-Gon
This Jedi Master was known as one of the order's most formidable members, but his recklessness and his devotion to seemingly inane causes kept him from becoming a member of the twelve-being Jedi Council. Originally trained by a Master who had worked with students for 400 years, Qui-Gon was later taught by Count Dooku, and was generally regarded as one of the best pure swordsmen the order had ever seen. However, Qui-Gon was also something of a maverick, and was unable to control his inner sense of purpose. He was known to prefer the simple things, like eating food with his hands, and he was distinguished by his good manners and empathy for other beings. However, he did not hold to many of the Jedi Order's basic philosophies, and his methods were often a sharp contrast those of his contemporaries. One of these beings was the woman named Tahl, a fellow student of the Force. They were friends during their training, and both achieved the level of Jedi Knight at about the same time. Qui-Gon wore his hair long in a tacit defiance of the Jedi order's rules. His control of the living Force was deep, although his abilities with the unifying Force were not as strong.

After successfully training a Padawan apprentice, it was Qui-Gon who discovered the young boy named Xanatos, and brought him to Coruscant for training despite his age and spoiled nature. When the Council allowed Qui-Gon to take a Padawan, Qui-Gon chose Xanatos immediately. Qui-Gon either failed to - or chose not to - see Xanatos' many failings, regarding the boy's mistakes and growing anger as minor things, much the way a father would. In the end, this caused him great trouble. Shortly before Xanatos was to take the tests to determine his eligiblity to become a Jedi Knight, Master Yoda dispatched Qui-Gon and his Padawan to Telos, on an unspecific mission. While there, Qui-Gon was confronted with Xanatos' treachery in the attack on a neighboring world. Qui-Gon was forced to kill Xanatos' father, Crion, in a battle, and earned Xanatos' unending hatred from that point on. The youth fled, and Qui-Gon was left to return to Coruscant without a Padawan. He claimed that Xanatos had been killed in battle, and vowed never to take another Padawan again. He continued to interview new students, but always left without choosing an apprentice.

Years later, he was charged by Master Yoda to travel to the planet Bandomeer and assist the government there in negotiating a mining treaty. The trip put him in close quarters with young Obi-Wan Kenobi, whom he had recently passed up as a Padawan apprentice. They were then drawn into the schemes of Xanatos, who hoped to exact revenge on Qui-Gon by killing him on Bandomeer. During their missions, which suddenly became a single mission, Qui-Gon realized that he and Obi-Wan were closely meshed with the Force. During their escape from Xanatos' trap in the ionite mines, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan became linked in the Force, something that was only meant to happen to a Master and his apprentice. After their escape, Qui-Gon realized that Obi-Wan was not to be taken lightly, and he took the boy as his Padawan learner. Together, they explored the Force for some twelve years before the Trade Federation invaded the peaceful world of Naboo. It was during this time that Qui-Gon pledged his life to the now-Jedi Master Tahl, during their mission to New Apsolon. Unfortunately, Tahl was captured by Balog and tortured until she could barely survive. Qui-Gon was able to rescue her, but the best medical care on New Apsolon was unable to save her life. For many months, Qui-Gon felt broken and out of synch with the galaxy, as his heart mourned the loss of the woman who "made him whole."

More than a decade after Tahl's death on New Apsolon, Supreme Chancellor Valorum asked that a team of Jedi be dispatched to negotiate with the Neimoidians, so Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were sent to Naboo. There, they became entangled in the intricate web being woven by Darth Sidious. Their mission quickly changed to the protection of Queen Amidala, whom they planned to transport to Coruscant for an appeal to the Senate. Their ship sustained large amounts of damage in clearing the Trade Federation blockade, and they were forced to land on Tatooine to repair the ship. While on the planet, Qui-Gon discovered the existence of young Anakin Skywalker, a slave owned by a Toydarian merchant named Watto. A check of the boy's blood revealed an incredibly high concentration of midi-chlorians, and after learning of Shmi Skywalker's description of Anakin's conception, he believed that he had found the prophecied Chosen One. Qui-Gon managed to free Anakin when the youth won the Boonta Eve Classic podrace, but Watto would not free Shmi. Qui-Gon then arranged to have a Tobal lens delivered to her, in the hope that she could use it to trade for her freedom.

On Tatooine, Qui-Gon also discovered the existence of Darth Maul, and barely escaped from the Sith Lord. He brought Anakin before the Jedi Council, but was sternly rebuffed for his impertinence. Instead, they were all sent back to Naboo to protect Amidala in her attempt to break the Trade Federation blockade on her own. While the Queen succeeded, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were forced to confront Darth Maul again. In an epic battle within the Theed palace's power station, Qui-Gon was separated from Obi-Wan by the power plant's security lasers. Forced to battle the Sith Lord on his own, Qui-Gon was physically unable to compete. Darth Maul was able to stun Qui-Gon before killing the Jedi Master with a quick jab of his double-bladed lightsaber, while Obi-Wan looked on helplessly. Obi-Wan was able to defeat Darth Maul once freed from the lasers, but was too late to save his Master. Obi-Wan held Qui-Gon as he died, vowing to continue his Master's dream of training young Anakin Skywalker. Qui-Gon's body was consumed in the flames of a Naboo funeral pyre, in honor of his efforts to help free Naboo from the Trade Federation.

Looking back, many Jedi Masters who were forced into military roles during the Clone Wars felt that it was Qui-Gon's death at Naboo that ultimately led Count Dooku to leave the Jedi Order and form the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Some ten years after the Battle of Naboo, when Anakin Skywalker murdered a clan of Tusken Raiders on Tatooine after the death of his mother, Yoda seemed to hear Qui-Gon's disembodied voice on Coruscant. This contradicted the very nature of death, since a Jedi was supposed to lose their identity when they joined with the Force. Qui-Gon's voice troubled Yoda for many years, until Anakin Skywalker fell to the Dark Side of the Force and became Darth Vader. Qui-Gon's spirit reappeared to Yoda, and explained that he had learned of a way to become one with the Force yet still retain the ability to influence the physical world. The technique was discovered by a Shaman of the Whills, and Qui-Gon practiced the skill in the years leading up to, and following, his death on Naboo. Qui-Gon's spirit later explained the teachings of the Whills to Yoda and Obi-Wan, to ensure that they would be able to help Anakin fulfill his destiny as the Chosen One.

Jinzler, Dean
The youngest of four children raised on Coruscant, Jinzler was forced to live in the shadow of his older sister, Lorana, who showed enough connection to the Force to be chosen for training as Jedi on Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Their parents had been working as technicians at he Jedi Temple, which ensured that Lorana's sensitivity was quickly discovered. Despite the fact that his parents were fired from their jobs at the Temple when Lorana was chosen, Dean's efforts were always compared to Lorana's, and he quickly came to realized that he was never going to be as gifted as she was, at least in the eyes of their parents. Nevertheless, he became a skilled starship technician, and was part of the ground crew that worked on the construction of the Outbound Flight. This work led him to meet up with Lorana, as she had been chosen as one of the Jedi Knights who were part of the Outbound Flight project. They had a brief argument before the mission set of from Coruscant, and Dean never heard from his sister again. He managed to eke out a living during the era of the New Order, and he aged into a silver-haired man who worked for Talon Karrde as an information specialist, during the years following the cease-fire between the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic. As a middle-aged man in his sixties, Jinzler had developed no focused training in any specific area, but he maintained a wide range of knowledge on many subjects. Jinzler was hired by Karrde when his information sharing operation was growing faster than he could handle, although Jinzler was one of possibly many agents who weren't at all loyal to Karrde. When a message was received at Comra through Karrde's network from Voss Parck on Nirauan, but was addressed to Luke Skywalker, Jinzler stole the message and fled Comra. Karrde managed to learn of the theft, however, since Jinzler's disappearance coincided with the message's theft. Karrde also learned that Jinzler had specifically requested a transfer to Comra just eight weeks earlier, which was too much of a coincidence to ignore. Karrde set out to locate Jinzler, while Luke set off for Nirauan. However, it was Luke who found Jinzler first, when Jinzler was introduced as the New Republic's Ambassador on the mission to recover the remains of the Outbound Flight Project. He conned Aristocra Formbi into believing he was actually a representative of the Republic in order to gain access to Outbound Flight. Underneath his charade, Jinzler wanted to learn more about his older sister, Lorana, who he had hated because she was a Jedi and not him. However, after spending time with Evlyn Tabory aboard Outbound Flight, Jinzler came to realize that his hatred was nothing more than jealousy, that his parents had loved all their children equally. Even after Lorana's lightsaber was destroyed in the attempt to retake control of the D-Four Dreadnaught from Estosh and the Vagaari, Jinzler found himself finally at peace with his sister's memory. She had died trying to save Outbound Flight, and that was all that mattered. In the aftermath of the mission, Jinzler decided to accompany the survivors of Outbound Flight to Nirauan, so that he could be with Rosemari Tabory and her daughter, Evlyn. (SQ, OF)

Jinzler, Joshua
This being, distinguished by his short, spiked, white hair, was often seen in the Outlander Club during the months leading up to the onset of the Clone Wars. (DAG)

Jinzler, Lorana
This young woman was the third of four children to a couple who worked as technicians at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, nearly two decades before the Battle of Naboo. Born two years before her brother, Dean, Lorana was discovered to have some sensitivity to the Force, and was taken into the Jedi Order at ten months of age. Her parents, unfortunately, were fired from their jobs at the Jedi Temple, in order to prevent them having any contact with their daugther, and they were forced to find employment elsewhere. Lorana grew up in the Jedi Temple, and was eventually chosen as a Padawan learner by Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth, although she could never quite figure out why. Where C'baoth was strong-willed and demanding, Lorana was timid and unassuming. Nevertheless, she learned much about the Force from C'baoth, and was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight at the age of twenty-two, just before Outbound Flight was launched. She was also given the chance to become one of the twelve Jedi Knights who would serve aboard Outbound Flight, a mission that she grudginly accepted. In a brief conversation with C'baoth, Lorana discovered that her former Master seemed to have some reservations about actually promoting her, but he looked forward to continuing her training during the mission. During the pre-flight systems checks, Lorana was introduced to her brother, Dean, who had never come to terms with Lorana's departure from the family. In an argument, he blamed Lorana for the family's troubles, since their parents were forced to take lower-paying jobs after leaving the Jedi Temple. Despite this fact, they were proud of Lorana, and constantly compared Dean's efforts to those of his older sister. Their argument left Lorana wondering about the role of the Jedi Order in the galaxy, as well as their role aboard Outbound Flight. During the mission, Lorana found herself doubting C'baoth's handling of the mission, especially when he began taking control of every aspect of the mission. When he began training the Jedi in the operation of the ship's Dreadnaughts and their weapons systems, Lorana became more worried. Her fears were shared by Jedi Master Justyn Ma'Ning, who hoped Lorana would speak her former Master and make him relent. She never got the chance, however, as Outbound Flight was intercepted by a military force commanded by then Force Commander Thrawn of the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet. Lorana only survived Thrawn's attack because she had been ordered by C'baoth to lock up a group of rebellious engineers in the central core of the ship. Thrawn's radiation bombs were targetted only at the Dreadnaughts, and wiped out all beings in the large ships. The core section was untouched, and Lorana was able to reach a Dreadnaught just as the Chiss boarded the vessel. She found herself working with Syndic Thrass to get the ship moving, in order to ensure that Outbound Flight didn't fall into the hands of one of the Chiss ruling families. However, their efforts were hampered by the damage that had been sustained by the Dreadnaughts during Thrawn's attacks, and they found themselves without engine power as they approached a habitable planetoid. Thrass and Lorana realized that the only was to save the civilian population from certain death was to remain on the bridge of their Dreadnaught and ensure it hit the ground first. Although they were ultimately successful in landing the huge craft in such a way as to save the civilians, both Thrass and Lorana were killed in the crash. Decades later, her lightsaber was recovered from among the debris and bodies Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, found on the bridge of the D-One Dreadnaught. At the time, they believed it was Jorus C'baoth's blade, but Dean Jinzler confirmed it was Lorana's. He asked Luke to hold onto the weapon until their group returned to the Brask Oto Command Station, in case the Jedi needed it to fight their way out. Luke and Mara were forced to use Lorana's lightsaber in a desparate attempt to destroy the droideka that was protecting Estosh and his Vagaari aboard the D-Four Dreadnaught. The lightsaber was destroyed when the droideka exploded, much to Luke's dismay. (SQ, OF)

This bold and outspoken Imperial Commander served on the Devastator when it captured the consular ship Tantive IV, just prior to the Battle of Yavin. Jir, as denoted by his black uniform, was a non-combat stormtrooper officer at the time, having served in the Imperial 501st Legion. He served as an aide to Darth Vader, and was one of the few beings who ever openly questioned the Dark Lord's tactics. While other officers believed that his outspoken nature would soon lead to his execution, Vader appreciated Jir's suggestions, and had him promoted from Lieutenant to Commander.

It was Commander Jir who questioned Vader's capture of Princess Leia Organa, fearing that her imprisonment would lead to pro-rebellion symapthies in the Imperial Senate. Commander Jir also doubted that Vader could extract any information from the Princess, believing that she would die before revealing the location of the Alliance's primary base. (CCG2, SWI93, E4VG, SWI96)

Jiss, Vinna
This woman was working for the Grand Army of the Republic's logistics department, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, when she accepted credits to funnel key information to a group of Separatist-funded terrorists who were working on Coruscant. She was observed by Sev and Fi, during the time they served as the Red Watch, coming out of the GAR logistics building with Paxaz Izhiq, well after the facility had shut down for the night. They managed to capture her and bring her in for questioning, but her own contacts tried to eliminate them. Only the flying ability of Bardan Jusik, who had been tailing the clone commandos in a disguised speeder, allowed them to return to their safehouse with the Falleen. She provided little new information before she was killed by Walon Vau in the wake of her interrogation, so it was with a great deal of surprise that the Null-class ARC Trooper Ordo discovered her walking back into the GAR logistics office several days later. Ordo later discovered that the Gurlanin known as Jinart had been posing as Jiss, in an effort to learn what had happened to the woman. (RCTZ)

Jit, Lak
This male Devaronian discovered a handfull of datacards at the base of Mount Tantiss, some ten years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Among them was a card entitled "The Hand of Thrawn" and a card describing the Bothan involvement in the destruction of Caamas. He claimed to have ownership of them by way of the Debble Agreement, but Leia under that agreement Leia could recover the cards after making proper restitution. He nearly escaped from Wayland with the cards, but was apprehended by Leia Organa-Solo's Noghri bodyguards. He stillmanaged to escape with a copy of the Caamas datacard, and freely dispensed the little bit of information it contained until he was caught by Mazzic. Lak Jit was then locked away by Mazzic and Talon Kaarde until the Caamas Incident could be resolved. (SOP)

Jith
This name was given to female Zabrak, and meant "wise" - or, more precisely, "ghost-wise", a term which may have referred to an ancient Force-sensitive Zabrak. (GCG)

Jith, Hiksri
This Rodian served with Erli Prann aboard the Golan II space station near Bilbringi, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was Erli Prann who allowed the station to be located by the crew of the Mon Mothma during Operation Trinity, so that he could lure hyperdrive-capable ships to the station. In this way, the pirates could salvage the hyperdrives from the New Republic ships and use them to power the battle station. Jaina Solo managed to use the Force to alter Prann's recollection of his hyperspace jump coordinates, and the station ended up trying to jump through a Yuuzhan Vong interdictor. While Prann and his people weren't clear of the Yuuzhan Vong, their proximity to the interdictor allowed them to pound the ship and clear an escape route for the Galactic Alliance forces. Prann then tried to fight his way clear, but Jith demanded that he surrender the Golan station to the Galactic Alliance. He refused, but was eventually subdued. Once he was remvoed from control, Jith and the rest of the pirates agreed to turn the station over. (FP)

Jixton, Wrenga
This Corellian underworld figure was known for his resourcefulness and his ruthlessness. A former Imperial Gunnery Sergeant known to his comrades a Jix, he was part of the task force that was sent to Falleen to accompany Darth Vader's experiment there. After the experiment failed, Jixton was court-martialled and sent to Kessel, but he quickly escaped from the prison complex and became a mercenary. He again encountered Vader several years later on the planet Aridus, where he had been hiding from the Empire. During this time, Jix had befriended the native Chubbits. When Vader was nearly killed in the explosion of the Iron Tower, Jix found him and would have killed the Dark Lord in revenge, but decided against it rather than risk the wrath of the Empire. Jix loaded Vader's body onto a starship and set out to deliver him, but Vader awoke and realized the situation. He offered Jix the chance to return to Aridus without fear of Imperial pursuit if he agreed to do whatever the Dark Lord needed. Jix was forced to agree to the deal, and he became an effective agent of Vader's. In this capacity, Jix exposed the liaison between Frija and Admiral Droon. Jix was later infiltrated into Jabba the Hutt's organization following the Dark Lord's failure to capture Luke Skywalker on Cloud City. Vader instructed Jix to become one of Jabba's swoop gang members, and to capture Luke when he arrived on Tatooine to plan the rescue of Han Solo. Jix nearly captured Luke in a swoop race through Beggar's Canyon, but Dash Rendar was able to disrupt his plans and get Luke free of the swoop gang. (SEC, SSE, SST)

JK-13
This JK-series combat droid was captured by the forces of the Old Republic and investigated for many weeks, after it was learned that Count Dooku and the Separatists were planning to buy huge quantities of JK's for their armies. JK-13 was first shown to the galactic government and the Jedi Knights at T'Chuk arena, on Coruscant, where it had been reprogrammed to act at a non-lethal level. After defeating a droideka and the ARC trooper CT-36/732 in one-on-one combat, JK-13 was pitted in battle against Jedi Master Kit Fisto. Only Master Fisto's unusual attacks allowed him to defeat the droid. (TCD)

JK-series Droid
Originally produced as a high-end security droid, these Cestus Cybernetics constructs were among the most advanced droids ever produced in the galaxy. First developed during the build-up to the Clone Wars, the JK-series used a form of "living circuitry" that employed the unique brain of an unfertilized dashta eel as its central processor. This gave the droid an unusual affinity to the Force, allowing it to anticipate the actions of an opponent. In the “living circuit” configuration, the dashta eel could control the primary functions of the droid, while the more autonomous functions were handled by the droid brain. In order to use the immature eels in this way, Cestus Cybernetics had to ensure the more mature dashta eels that any immature specimens used in the droids would help Ord Cestus become more fully-integrated into the galactic community.

Because of the use of living circuitry, the droids were also called JK-series Bio-Droids. Standing 1.5 meters tall, the chrome body of the JK-series droid was shaped like an hourglass, with eight narrow legs to to it around. When confronted with a possible intruder, the JK-series could move swiftly and silently to a new location, where it appeared almost benign until it registered a true threat. In that instant, the JK-series could assume any number of configurations, and bring to bear an unusual array of weaponry.

Its primary attack mode involved the use of whiplike tentacles that emerged from its top and side. These tentacles were incredibly strong, and could cut through some of the hardest materials. After capturing its target with these tentacles, the JK-series drew the target into its body, holding it until help could arrive. If the target struggled, the tentacles could be drawn tighter, cutting into flesh or metal to force the target to submit. Other weaponry included shock netting, stun darts, and blasters. In addition to these mechanical capabilities, the JK-series was produced with specialized coatings that allowed the JK-series to blend into its surroundings. A portable shield generator was also installed in these droids, to absorb most blaster energy that was fired at the droid.

These droids were produced in small numbers during the height of the Clone Wars, but at incredibly high prices due to the delicate nature of the dashta eel. Mass-production was virtually impossible, since the number of dashta eels was limited. Nevertheless, the demand for these droids easily outpaced the supply. They were originally designed as security droids for the exceptionally wealthy, but with simple programming changes they could be adapted for use as combat droids. Because of their ability to anticipate an opponent's movements, the JK-series proved a formidable opponent for even the Jedi Knights.

Due to several documented cases of a JK actually defeating a Jedi Knight in combat, they became known as Jedi Killers. When Count Dooku offered to provide Cestus Cybernetics with cloning technology to help produce more eels, the Separatist army was able to secure the rights to JK-series production. Unfortunately, it proved too difficult to clone the dashta eels, a fact that Dooku kept to himself while he spun an intricate plan to lure the Jedi and the Old Republic to Ord Cestus. The Jedi believed that the JK-series could be mass-produced, and that its innate abilities would make it exceptionally difficult to defeat. In this way, Dooku managed to trap Obi-Wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto on Ord Cestus, when they were dispatched to learn more about the JK-series.

However, the Separatists' plans fell through when both Jedi Masters survived the mission, revealing to the Cestians and the rest of the galaxy that the JK-series was no longer a viable alternative for the Separatists. Further investigation revealed that the dashta eels would have gone insane on the battlefield, when ordered to actually kill another being. This information was something that the Five Families never revealed to Count Dooku, since it would have negated the deal before any credits could have been exchanged. (TCD, HIV, NEGD)

J'Mer Sab
This resistance group, whose name meant "Night Wind," rose up among the Gorothite people shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Formed from Gorothites who feared the high attrition rate of the K'Len J'Bar Kasoon, the J'Mer Sab also attracted some members from the Gor'Jen'Ar. In reality, however, the J'Mer Sab was privately set up and funded by Imperial Governor Marsh Limoth. Limoth hoped to attract a sufficient number of prominent Gorothites before "raiding" the group, arresting its members and striking a blow against the legitimate resistance. In this way, he hoped to gain a significant political victory, earning him more funding and latitutde from his Imperial superiors. The Alliance, as part of Operation Starbird, set out to infiltrate and break up the J'Mer Sab before Limoth could act. (GSE)

J'Mikel
This Anx was one of the six Jedi Knight who were hunted down and murdered by Aurra Sing. Like Peerce, with whom he was working at the time, J'Mikel was searching for Aurra Sing on Coruscant when he was attacked and killed. J'Mikel was survived by his young Padawan, a Twi'lek female named Xiann who was badly traumatized by the incident and its violence. After Aurra Sing was captued by Aayla Secura, Master J'Mikel's lightsaber was returned to Coruscant. Aayla Secura asked to personally deliver it to Xiaan Amersu, so that she could talk to her fellow Twi'lek about reconciling her feelings. (HFAS, J3)

This paramilitary school was founded by Lunkar An during the Galactic Civil War. (AIR)

Jmmaar
This Viraanntesse Jedi Master, a native of the planet Vvaw, was killed during the Clone Wars by General Grievous on the planet Vandos. Years earlier, Master Jmmaar had accompanied Jedi Master T'chooka D'oon on a mission to mediate a settlement to the Huk War. Their ultimate decision was to rule in favor of the Huks, which forced the Kaleesh into a state of destitution. Grievous, who was known during the Huk Wars as Qymaen jai Sheelal, never forgot the role of the two Jedi in the virtual subjugation of his people, and gladly cut down Master Jmmaar when he had the chance. (X3, E3N, SWI86)

JMM-series Droid
This was a series of assassin droids produced during the Old Republic. (SWMW)

JN-66
This was a model of analysis droid that was produced during the last decades of the Old Republic. Developed and manufactured by Cybot Galactica, the JN-66 droid had a flat, goggle-eyed head, and its body was supported by a pair of small, disk-shaped repulsorlifts. Two pairs of photoreceptors allowed the JN-66 to view minute details of objects, giving it a greater set of data with which to investigate its surroundings. Unlike the SP-4 droid that was developed to perform complex analyses, the JN-66 was developed to do the grunt work associated with sifting through data to determine trends and patterns. Like the SP-4, the JN-66 was developed to help scientists and forensic experts during their investigations, and it also found use in the Jedi Archives. The original JN-66 units were designed to operate in clean-room environments, and were produced with micro-field generators in the arms to pick up objects without physically touching them. The body of the JN-66 was not given exterior plating, which allowed the unit to be given regular radiationj baths to kill off any bacteria or micro-organism that might have lodged in its inner workings. (SWDB, NEGD)

Joanson, Ariq
One of Owen Lars' contemporaries, Ariq Joanson set up a moisture farm farther out than anyone else on Tatooine. His farm, which was only marginally profitable, bordered Jawa and Sand Person lands. Ariq felt that the three races could live together peacefully, despite the stories being spread by the Imperial governors. He regularly left gifts of water to both native races, and developed a great friendship with the Jawas of Wimateeka's clan. He developed an uneasy truce with the Sand People. Many of his friends, including his neighbor Eyvind, thought he was crazy. Ariq paid them no mind, and planned to purchase a great tract of land that he would subdivide with Jawas and Sand People. He was even going to help them submit the paperwork to make the land officially their own. When Eyvind became engaged to Ariela, Ariq asked if he could invite Wimateeka's clan. Ariela talked Eyvind into agreeing, and the wedding reception was a success. The Jawas were impressed with human customs and civility, while the humans marvelled that the Jawas could be so friendly. When a group of adolescent Sand People attacked the reception, Ariq was greatly dismayed. Eyvind was killed in the attack, and the local Imperial detachment used the incident to further the distrust between the races. Ariq was undaunted, and after rescuing Ariela from the Sand People, he set out to find the Alliance and work with them to overthrow the Empire. (TME)

Jobber
This slang term was used by Alliance Intelligence operatives to describe an assassin. (RASB)

Joben, Thall
Jord Dusat's best friend and rival on Ingo, Thall was an avid landspeeder racer during the early years of the Empire. He was easily distinguished by his mohawk haricut. Thall became the owner of R2-D2 and C-3PO when he and Jord found them in a junkyard, after they had been jettisoned by an escaping smuggler, and they helped him evade the ministrations of Sise Fromm. The droids were glad to be free, and helped the boys with the construction of their racing speeder, the White Witch. When Jord was captured by Tig Fromm, Thall and the droids enlisted the help of Kea Moll to rescue him.

The group then traveled to Boonta, hoping to enter the Boonta Speeder Race. After helping Kea's mother destroy the Trigon One weapons satellite, they finally made it to Boonta. There, Jord was injured and Thall was forced into duty as the White Witch's pilot. During the race, he was beset by agents of the Fromm gang as well as by Boba Fett, but Thall managed to avert disaster and win the race. Jord and Thall, along with Kea Moll, were approached by Zebulon Dak to join the design team of his corporation, but were told that they could not bring the droids. The trio had decided to turn down Dak's offer, having come to appreciate the droids, but R2-D2 and C-3PO would not allow them to miss the opportunity. The droids jettisoned themselves in an escape pod, leaving the humans free to take the job. (DCAR, OWS, TGD)

Jobin
This man served the Alliance at Echo Base, on Hoth, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. A veteran of the Battle of Hoth, Corporal Jobin was believed to have been the brother of Lieda Mothma, and the son of Mon Mothma herself. At Echo Base, Jobin was part of the ground forces that were arrayed to defend the main base, but were forced to abandon their position when they realized that the base's ion cannon was under Imperial assault. Jobin and his team managed to regain control of the ion cannon's control center from Imperial snowtroopers, and he personally fired the weapon, disabling a Star Destroyer and opening an escape route for the last of the Alliance's transports. He was then the first to report on the breach of Echo Base's defenses by Imperial forces, before he was forced to abandon his post and retreat to a pre-defined escape point. Unfortunately, he was intercepted by Darth Vader before he could escape. After ensuring that a recorded message to his mother was carried out by a comrade, Jobin tried to block Vader's way, hoping to buy the rest of his team some time to escape. Vader, however, had no time for his defiance, and swiftly used the Force to snap Jobin's neck. Jobin's recording eventually reached Mon Mothma, but not until almost a year later, just before the main planning session for the Battle of Endor. (SWI82, VIS)

This surname was common among the Sullustan race, and meant "computer specialist" in the Sullustan language. (GCG)

Joboba
This was the Huttese word for the number fourteen (14). Note, however, that the Huttese counting system was based on a base-eight system. So, joboba indicated the number twelve (12) in the Basic language. (GMR5)

Jobones, Wryk
Known by the nickname "Wreck-Out," Wryk Jobones was a veteran of the swoopchasing circuits of the Outer Rim Territories. During the height of the New Order, Wryk retired from active competition to promote the sport. He spent much of his career racing on the outlawed courses, but realized that dead racers can't do any good. He petitioned for the improvement of safety and quality of courses at all racing levels, in order to prolong the careers of racers and attract a larger audience. (BSS)

Jobreth Plains
This grassland was located on the planet Jabiim. (SWESF)

Jobril
This Twi'lek worked for Nirama, several years before the Battle of Naboo. It was rumored that Jobril voluntarily allowed Nirama to implant a chip into his brain that made Jobril unquestioningly loyal to Nirama. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, something made Jobril change his mind about the implant. He secretly had it removed, and turned against Nirama. (WOTC)

Joc
This was the nickname of one of the clone troopers who were assigned to Torrent Company, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, after the original company was nearly wiped out on Teth. Captain Rex discovered that Joc had a talent for seeking out key information, either by finding itself or asking pointed questions of others. Despite the fact that Joc and his new comrades had not yet seen a lot of combat, they became fast friends, and they were able to bond while on a layover when the Torrent Company was assigned to the shakedown cruise of the refitted Leveler. Although Ince and Vere spent part of their free time ribbing Ahsoka Tano about the restrictions of the Jedi Order, Joc was quick to point out that, even though she was just a Padawan, Ahsoka was good at understanding orders. (CWNOP)

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

Jocell
This Chiss female was part of the squadron which was assembled to support Jagged Fel's fact-finding mission to the New Republic, shortly before the Battle of Coruscant. When Jagged decided that the best way to gather information was to assist the Republic in their struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong, Jocell and her fellow pilots agreed to stay. Jocell agreed to join the Twin Suns Squadron, serving under Jaina Solo as Twin Suns Nine. After Coruscant fell and the Republic's forces regrouped on Calamari, Jocell agreed to accompany Jaina and her parents on a mission to re-establish communications to parts of the galaxy which had been cut off. Jaina was glad to have Jocell's help, but felt that Jocell was too stiff to be an effective pilot. When the trio was sent to N'zoth to investigate the Fia's claim that the Yevetha were no longer a threat, they found that the planet and the entire Yevethan civlization had been destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong. They also found the last surviving Yevethan warrior on a small moon, waiting for the alien invaders to return. This Yevetha refused to be rescued, and set his ship to self-destruct. Jocell was just behind Miza when the shpi exploded, and Jocell's clawcraft badly damaged. With Jaina's help, she was able to return to Galantos and recover from her injuries. (FH1)

Jocund, Diedre
This woman served as a soldier and field medic in the Thaereian Military, during the final years of the Old Republic. She was a member of the ambush squad that was led by Lorwin Derlynn, and was dispatched to a Cularin Militia based in the asteroids of the Cularin System, as part of a system-wide blockade. The blockade was ostensibly set up to protect Cularin from Separatist invasion. However, the Thaereians had other plans for Cularin. Like the some of the other men and women who served under Derlynn, Jocund questioned her loyalty to the Thaereians. Thus, when Derlynn was shown evidence of Thaereian misdoings in the Cularin System, Jocund supported his decision to allow ships through the blockade. (BIT1)

Jodaka
This ocean world was home to the deadly needler crab. The crab inhabited the rocky reefs that bordered the seas. (SWJ1, OWS)

Jodakan Needler Crab
This crab, native to the rocky reefs of Jodaka, used a deadly poison to capture its prey. The poison was injected through a long, biotic needle that could be fired at a target with a short burst of air. The primary source of food for the needler crab was the seagulls that searched the reefs for fish, which it shot down using its poisoned darts. The darts were fired from a hollow tube that ran along the dorsal ridge of its carapace, and the burst of air that was required to fire them came from two air sacks located at the rear of its body.

Jodakan needler crabs were sometimes seen in shops and stores that dealt in exotic creatures. They were sold as personal defense systems, because their owners could tap on the air sacks to induce the crab to fire its darts. Owners had to keep the crab in a saltwater aquarium, and had to feed it at least a pound of flesh each day, in order to keep the crab alive. Although they were kept as "pets," Jodakan needler crabs were difficult to train, and would often attack any flying creature it encountered while in its owner's possession. (SWJ1, OWS)

This man served the Imperial Navy as a Captain, and was part of the small defense force that was assigned to protect the labor colony on Kalist VI, during the months following the Battle of Yavin. As the leader of Durkii Squadron, Jodeen was on duty when he was ordered to escort the Nuna's Twins down to the surface of Kalist VI, after the tanker managed to survive an Alliance ambush. The ground forces on Kalist VI were suspicious when the tanker arrived without its escort frigate, which the crew claimed was destroyed in the ambush. Unknown to the Imperials, however, was the fact that Luke Skywalker and a band of Alliance agents were at the controls of the Nuna's Twins, and the fact that the tanker was allowed to land gave the Alliance team the ability to infiltrate the base. (SWEWW)

Jodhul, Joz

Johans, Zel "Rancor"
This Imperial Colonel, known as the Rancor, was in charge of a Hell's Hammers unit stationed in the Outer Rim Territories during the Galactic Civil War. He was a masterful tactician, and was wholly devoted to his troops. After their defeat at the Battle of Turak IV, the Hell's Hammers were reduced by more than two-thirds. Colonel Johans continued to command the survivors, and they were able to once again serve successfully on the front lines. After the subjugation of the planet Absit, Colonel Johans was able to persuade the Imperial command that the Hell's Hammers worked better at full regimental strength, and he played a pivotal role in the recruiting of new members. Johans was also instrumental in the development of the repulsortank, as well as the development of Imperial doctrine regarding the use of repulsortanks. He successfully argued that the Empire should have employed Imperial-class repulsortanks during the Battle of Hoth, instead of AT-AT walkers, since the slow-moving walkers allowed several Alliance transport vessels to flee the planet before Darth Vader's forces assumed control of Echo Base. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Colonel Johans took the Hell's Hammers and returned to their base of operations on the planet Brintooin. The unit continued to fight for the Empire, but Johans found that he was fighting against Imperial forces as often as he was facing the forces of the New Republic. After spending one battle fighting against his own support troops, Johans again returned to Brintooin, this time to established a base of power for himself in an effort to build himself a small empire. Many historians believed he had aspirations of inheriting command of the Imperial Remnant, and the fact that many of the Hell's Hammers soldiers remained with him on Brintooin would have made him a formidable opponent. He joined the military forces that supported Grand Admiral Thrawn, but refused to heed the call of the "reborn" Emperor Palpatine. Johans decided to remain an independent force, never adopting a powerful title or rank, and his continued threat proved problematic for the military leaders of the New Republic. (ISB, SWJ9, SWJ15, OWS)

Joiner
This was the term used to describe any being who had become deeply attached to the Colony. Joiners were distinguished by their belief in the altruism of the various hives of the Colony, and the way in which they acted upon the Will of the Colony without hesitation. For the most part, the Joiners became a hive's liaison to the outside galaxy, acting as translator and guide during discussions or negotiations. The role of Joiners didn't become apparent until about five years after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy was stopped, when UnuThul began attracting more and more beings to the Unknown Regions to help the Colony survive against the Chiss. Over time, those beings who remained within the hive too long were absorbed by the hive, and could no longer think for themselves. Once a being was joined to the hive, the hive had access to all of the being's memories and skills, including the understanding of languages and the absorption of feelings and emotions. (DN1)

Joining Ritual
This was a generic term used to describe any ritual in which a group of Force users combined their powers to create a single, powerful event. During the millennium leading up to the Battle of Ruusan, the use of joining rituals was found most often among the Brotherhood of Darkness. In following with the Rule of the Strong, all Sith were equally powerful, but their combined strength was awesome to behold. In the wake of the Galactic Civil War, the Jedi Knights of Luke Skywalker's new Jedi Order discovered that they were better able to combat the Yuuzhan Vong by combining their powers. (DBPD)

Joining, The
This was the name given to the period of history on the planet Merisee in which intense volcanic and seismic activity created a chain of mountains which connected the planet's two continents.

Joker Squad
This unit of Company C, Battallion 9, of the 407th Stormtrooper Division was among the many units stationed at the Imperial base on Yinchorr, nearly a century after the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Joker Squad was noted for its high casualty rate, much of which was the result of the dangerous missions it was ordered to carry out.

About seven years after Darth Krayt took control of the galaxy for the Sith, the troopers of Joker Squad were ordered to take the point on a mission to Borosk, where the 908th Stormtrooper Division had defected and remained loyal to former Emperor Roan Fel. The team's members quietly questioned the orders, since they required the Jokers to eliminate a fellow stormtrooper unit. The Jokers obeyed their orders, however, losing Vax Potorr, Jes Gistang, and Sergeant harkas in the second wave of attacks before being confronted by Krayt's liaison, Darth Maleval.

Maleval demanded that the Jokers' commanding officer, Lieutenant Gil Cassel, execute his own brother as a show of loyalty to the new Empire. Cassel hesitated, and Maleval threatened to kill them both if Lieutenant Cassel didn't act. However, it was Hondo Karr who chose to act, when he tried to attack the Sith Lord with a short sword. Maleval sensed the attack, and threatened to kill Karr as well. In this instant, squad newbie Anson Trask shot and killed Maleval, carrying out the one action that Joker Squad tacitly wanted to complete.

As he was taken to the nearest hospital, Harkas turned over leadership of the Jokers to Trask, who was the only officially surviving member of the team after Karr deserted. Harkas later reported to his superiors that Maleval was killed in combat, officially clearing Trask and the rest of the Jokers in the Sith Lord's demise. (SWLN)

Joker Squadron

Jokhalli
This race of tall, thin-limbed humanoids was native to the moon Blimph 3. They were distinguished by their glowing, red eyes and their unusual arms. Each of their two arms ended in two forearms, with a compound elbow joint providing a full range of motion for each forearm. Their bovine faces were melancholy in appearance, and they spoke variety of galactic trade languages. To the Jokhalli, trade and commerce were immensely important, and their civilization flourished mainly because of the strategic location of Blimph 3. When Quaffug the Hutt took control of the Blimph System, the Jokhalli were relegated to a minimal role in the business which went through the system, and they were unable to stop the Hutt. They consoled themselves playing games of Divot, until Lando Calrissian stumbled upon their society during his trial under the Duff-Jikab. His skills in trade languages, coupled with his defeat of the Jokhalli masters in Divot, earned Lando a measure of respect among the Jokhalli, who helped him escape Quaffug. Lando later forced Quaffug to return control of Blimph 3 to the Jokhalli, in return for the Hutt's life. (BHSW)

JoKo's Alley
Located within Coruscant's Dometown, this riotous strip of businesses was where Tekli overheard a pair of Rodians discussing their general malcontent with the human race. The distrust arose from the fact that the Yuuzhan Vong could use ooglith masquers to pretend to be human, thereby making non-human races hesitant to work with humans. This was shortly before it was discovered that the Vong had perfected the gablith masquer. (BP)

Jokot

They then provided information to Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, telling the Jedi of Mawat's deception. (UP)

Jolian Freighter

Jolla
This Hutt crimelord worked from a base on Nar Shaddaa during the height of the New Order. Outwardly, Jolla wished to forge an alliance with his nephew, Torga the Hutt, to combine their small criminal organizations into a much broader, more profitable enterprise that could squeeze out the operations of Moska the Hutt. However, when he was invited to Torga's residence to hear evidence of Moska's treachery, Jolla feigned indifference and belittled Torga in front of his retainers. This, of course, was all part of Jolla's plans to undermine the operation of Torga's empire, in an effort to capture it for himself. Jolla had also been working to undermine the operations of Moska, hoping to pit the two Hutts against one another and usurp both their organizations. (WOA23, WOA24)

Jolli
This female pirate served with Crimson Jack during the years following the Battle of Yavin. She became jealous of Leia Organa's presence among the pirates, shortly after Leia was captued by the pirates, and began flirting and teasing Jack's pirates. Once she had them hooked, she beat them and fought them off. Much of her behavior seemed to be traced to her parents. Her father was a fugitive from the Empire, and Jolli and her mother were abandoned on an outlaw world. Her mother was killed in a firefight, and Jolli vowed to prove herself against any man at any time. Despite her relationship with Crimson Jack and her attraction to Han Solo, Jolli geniunely hated all men. After Jack's forces were stranded over Drexel One, Jolli led Raider Squadron on an assault against the Millennium Falcon, but was damaged in a fly-over. When she asked Jack to tow her back, he refused, claiming that the use of a magnetic pulse beam would interfere with his communications system. Angry at being abandoned by a man, Jolli felt all her anger crystallize into a single point. She took what little power she had left and started firing on Crimson Jack's Star Destroyer, shooting through the ship's shields before crashing into the ship with her fighter. In the resulting explosion, Jack's Star Destroyer was damaged beyond repair, and Jolli was mortally wounded. She was located by Han Solo, who gave her a kiss for saving his life, and Jolli died happily. (MC7, MC12, MC15)

It was trooper Corr who took the shot that finally killed Jolluc, but the firing of his weapon gave the other Maujasi rebels a fix on Omega Squad's position. Without Jolluc's guidance, the rebels fought with reckless abandon, pinning Omega Squad on a rocky plateau and nearly killing them before Republic reinforcements arrived. (RC66)

Jomark
An ocean world with a single continent and three moons, Jomark was settled apporximately 1000 before the era of the New Order, but never became an integral part of the galaxy. This led the colonists to revert in their technology, rather than expand, and they eventually became a superstitious, primitive band. Much of Jomark's landmass was part of a single continent, with thousands of small islands scattered throughout its oceans. It was the second of six worlds in its system, and the only habitable one.

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. Unfortunately, this embargo and its decisions began to splinter the members of Jon-Tow, showing a weakness that Deniv Corsignis himself hoped to exploit.

Jooj
This was a thumb-sized subspecies of Killiks that became part of the Colony, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Jooj that joined the Great Swarm were found to be devastating soldiers, as they could infiltrate an enemy's defenses better than larger species of Killiks. They could also crawl underneath body armor in a swarm and attack a being by chewing on their flesh, causing great pain when the flesh-dissolving enzymes in their saliva contacted skin. It was said that the Jooj didn't so much attack an enemy, but instead they fed on them, consuming the liquified flesh while the victim literally melted away. (DN3)

Jool, Queen
This female Hutt owned and operated Rik's cantina, on the planet Coruscant, some 130 years after the Battle of Yavin. A noted information broker, Queen Jool was distinguished by the immense, gaudily-decorated, cybernetic prosthesis that replaced her left eye. Resembling a jeweled brooch and adorned with feather-like filigree, the cybernetic eye allowed Queen Jool to monitor the entire floor of Rik's at any time. When she was not working in the cantina, Queen Jool spent her free time wallowing in the swamp she had built beneath the building.

About seven years after the Massacre at Ossus, Queen Jool was surprised to see Cade Skywalker walk into Rik's, but only because he was one of the most wanted beings in the galaxy. Cade had once been a regular customer, and she missed his roguish good looks and his friends, Deliah Blue and Jariah Syn. When Cade allowed himself to be drawn into the Sith Temple to train under Darth Krayt and Darth Talon, it was Queen Jool who allowed R2-D2 to show a pre-recorded hologram that Cade had made for Deliah and Jariah. This recording ensured that ownership of the Mynock passed to them both, and warned them not to try and follow Cade into the Sith Temple. (SWLB, SWLC, SWLH)

Jord herself had participated in The Vigil thirty years earlier, and understood its importance. She was also somewhat sensitive to the Force, and was attuned to the Wellspring.

He amused himself by taking prisoners and setting them free inside the garrison and daring them to safely reach Dosunn's wilderness. Joris amused himself by hunting them down like animals. His reign on Dosunn was cut short some ten years after the Battle of Endor, when he managed to capture Jaden Korr. Joris thought it would be interesting to hunt down a Jedi Knight, and set Kor free.

However, Jorran was a greedy salvager, and often arranged to acquire more credits that an artifact was probably worth. During one trip into the Jedi Enclave, he got trapped by a pack of laigreks and was forced to hide inside a room deep within.

This Togorian female was once considered for a place in the Almas Academy, several years before the Battle of Naboo. She had been ostracized from her homeworld because of her connection to the Force, but was later denied training after she got into a fight with another student. She spent the next twenty years or so slowly growing more angry and frustrated at being exiled and thrown out of the Academy, and eventually founded the Fireclaw Horde. She transferred a good portion of her anger to the Cularin System itself, causing all sorts of trouble while gathering power and credits to expand her gang, while saving a portion of her anger for her native Togoria.

Sometime after the Battle of Naboo, Mebara Jos tried to acquire the "treasure" of the Rodian slaver known as Gomalo, but was unable to find the bas-relief sculpture that would have led her to the frozen body of Ji-Ad Sarain. She then directed her mercenaries to ambush the luxury liner Queen of Cularin, but this attempt was thwarted by a group of freelance agents. In a final, desparate act, Mebara Jos decided to cause trouble for the Cularin Classic swoop race. She hoped that the destruction she and her gang might cause would be broadcast throughout the system by the media that had gathered to document the race.

Her plans were discovered by the Twi'lek investigator Di'hal'uma, prompting her to hire the Blood Raptors to capture the Twi'lek and bring her in for questioning. Mebara then put her plans in motion, taking control of the video screens on the racecourse and issued her threats. She tried to send the Team SoroSuub remote-controlled swoop into the crowds, but the freelance agents were able to prevent it from leaving the course. Flying into a rage, Mebara tapped into the Dark Side of the Force and tried to kill the agents, but she and her Togorian thugs were eventually defeated. (JST3)

Jostran
According to New Republic databanks, the Jostrans were the dominant race found on the planet Munlali Mafir. The average Jostran resembled a slow-moving centipede about a meter and a half in length. By the time Luke Skywalker arrived at Munlali Mafir, during his search for the planet Zonama Sekot some twenty-eight years after the Battle of Endor, the Jostrans had disappeared. Jacen Solo and Soron Hegerty discovered that the Jostrans had been combined with the Krizlaws by the appearance of Zonama Sekot, resulting in a predatory species that looked outwardly like a Krizlaw. However, the symbiotic relationship which was created allowed the Jostran individual to fuse itself to the Krizlaw spinal column and nervous system. In this way, the Jostran mind controlled the Krizlaw body. This new race of vicious beings quickly eliminated the Jostran people as well as the non-symbiont Krizlaws, becoming the sole species of Munlali Mafir. Those Jostrans who survived remained distinct individuals in their symbiont bodies, and were still able to produce a form of offspring. This Jostran infant was then force-fed into a new body, where it fused itself to the victim's spinal cord and nervous system, becoming a new entity. (FH2)

Joventusek
This city, named for the Caarite word for "gateway," was the primary departure point for all beings who were traveling to the planet Caarimon. Joventusek was the largest of Caarimon's cities, and was similar in design to the smaller, satellite cities. The entire city floated several meters off the ground on a cushion of gases that kept the city from actually touching the surface of the planet. These gases were created as part of the respiratory process of the abundant plantlife found on the surface. As it took in gases to remain aloft, Jovensutek outgassed the specific gases that were needed to maintain the plantlife of its surrounding environment, creating a cycle in which both plants and Caarites existed in harmony. Visitors to Caarimon were processed in Joventusek, and shuttled to one of the smaller cities in specialized speeders that did little or no harm to the environment. The very edges of Joventusek were patrolled by ceramic-bodied droids that could move about on repulsorlifts or jetpacks, ensuring that no stray metal or trash ever reached the surface of the planet. (MCT3)

A native of the Lianorm Swamp, Jowil had trained under Pert's direction for many years, and had been among the first to hear the Symponika Crunchen-Grand. When Pert announced his retirement, the leaders of the Great Municipal Band voted to have Jowil take his place, an honor that many thought was well-deserved despite her relatively young age.

Jowil wasted no time in cementing her place in the history of the Great Municipal Band when she witnessed the events that surrounded the Battle of Naboo. She was present when Queen Amidala came to Boss Nass and begged for an alliance, in an effort to recruit the Gungans in helping to overthrow the Trade Federation's blockade of their homeworld. Recognizing that this was a turning point in Gungan history, Jowil began composing what would become known as the Symponika Nabooalla, which chronicled the efforts of both Gungans and humans to restore their freedom. (SWDB)

Joy Cave
This was the term used to describe any of the underground pleasure chambers that were established by the Twi'lek race, on their homeworld of Ryloth. Each joy cave was actually a group of connected chambers, with a a central meeting room that was surrounded by smaller, private cells. In this way, the female slaves who worked in the joy cave - known as glitter girls - were never more than a single, short hallway away from their owners and their bodyguards. (LF3)

Joylin
This tall, slender, male Romin was the leader of the Citizens' Resistance movement that tried to overturn the dictatorship of Roy Teda, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Despite setbacks and brutal reprisals from the Security Management Control force, Joylin's resistance continued to grow. It was believed that they even had contacts and agents within Teda's own government. It was Joylin who had Anakin Skywalker and Ferus Olin kidnapped, in order to ask for their assistance in overturning Teda's rule. Joylin believed them to be Waldo and Ukiah, members of the gang known as the Slams. Joylin offered the false Slams the chance to be the only criminals allowed to live on Romin, in exchange for Anakin and Ferus's help in stealing information from Roy Teda's office. The Jedi reluctantly agreed, and Obi-Wan Kenobi managed to obtain the information and escape Teda's palace. With the information - mainly security and access codes - Joylin's rebels knocked out the main droid control system, then set out to eliminate the officers of the Security Management Control. Joylin had told the Jedi that he had ordered his forces to act with a minimum of bloodshed, an order he repeated as the revolt began. Unfortunately, years of pent-up anger launched the Romins into a frenzy, and many of the wealthy Romins in Eliior were slaughtered. In the end, Joylin proved just as blood-thirsty as his rebels, when he issued an order calling for Roy Teda to turn himself in for trial. If he failed to do so, Joylin would execute one member of his former staff at a time. Ultimately Teda fled Romin, which allowed Joylin to assume leadership of Romin for himself. This series of events was later twisted by Teda during testimony in front of the Galactic Senate, implicating the Jedi Knights as the masterminds behind the plot to remove him from power. (JQ8, JQ9)

J'Quille was also responsible for bribing Phlegmin to lace Jabba's paddy toads with a slow-acting poison. In his rooms, J'Quille kept a strand of poisoned Mastmot teeth as a decoration, hoping someday to use them against Jabba. He never got the chance, because Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon. When he fled Tatooine and tried to return to Toola, he found that Valarian had put a price on his head for "rejecting" her. J'Quille returned to Jabba's palace and became a B'omarr acolyte, claiming that having his brain removed to a nutrient jar was the only way to escape Tatooine's heat. (TJP)

JR-4
This was a heavy-bodied swoop produced by Bespin Motors during the height of the Old Republic. Considered one of the earliest swoops ever produced, it enjoyed a run of several centuries before it was discontinued some 100 years before the Battle of Yavin. It was first marketed as a single-person airspeeder, but its high-altitude maneuverability earned the nickname of "swoop" very early in its existence.

Despite its age, the 3.9-meter-long JR-4 remained a viable racing swoop for many decades. The noted Gotal pilot Arum Oru flew one during the inaugural Cularin Classic, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. (SWI62, AEG, JST3)

J't'p'tan
This planet, located within the Koornacht Cluster, was one of the worlds to which the Fallanassi fled when the Empire attacked Lucazec. Wialu was one of the Fallanassi who fled there, and she sensed the danger of the Yevetha Great Purge. The planet was known in the New Republic's astrogation catalog as FAR202019S, and was known to other as Doornik-628E, the fifth planet of the Doornik-628 System. It was originally discovered by a group of H'kig idealists who were fleeing persecution on the planet Rishi. The name of the planet was derived from a series of H'Kig glyphs which describe basic elements of the H'kig religion. The first three were too sacred to write out - jeh teh peh - and form the "J't'p'" portion of the name. The last piece - tan - not so sacred. The Yevetha wiped out the H'kig settlement on the planet, reducing it to scroched ruins while exterminating all but a few of the religious followers. J't'p'tan measured some 11,200 kilometers in diameter. Its day lasted 22 standard hours, and its year encompassed 407 local days. (BTS, SOL, TT, WOTC)

This immense, black-haired humanoid was the captain of the ship which brought Mara Jade to Kintoni, shortly after the Battle of Endor. (T1)

J-Type
This was the term used to describe the twin-radial configuration of sublight engines on certain starships that were produced during the final decades of the Old Republic. The basic design of the J-Type, developed by the Nubians, placed the engines out on wings, away from the central fuselage. (E1)

Ju powder
A spice used to modify the taste of aric tongue. (CPL)

Juaka Canyon
This rocky canyon was located on the planet Ando Prime, some 500 miles from the Elesa outpost. The Canyon measured thirty meters deep and 150 meters in length, and its walls had been carved from the icy rock by primordial water and wind. The Twi'lek scout Ree discovered a rich vein of vonium within the canyon, during the early years of the New Order. (GMR2)

Jualya Village
This small village was located on the planet Caamas, until the Empire bombarded the planet and laid waste to the village. Jualya Village was located in the Kanupian region, situated amongst the hillocks and valleys that defined the region. (CN2)

Jub
This name was common among Sullustan males, and meant "stalagmite". (GCG)

Jubal
This Devaronian was living on the planet Tatooine at about the same time Labria was living in Mos Eisley, during the years just prior to the Battle of Yavin. (TME, WOTC)

Jubba
Native to the Forest Moon of Endor, this plant produced a small nut, which was considered a delicacy by the Ewoks. (WSW)

Jubba
A bird native to the planet Dagobah, the jubba produced a highly soothing song-whistle that it manipulated via the Force. The average jubba bird produced its song when it was happy or content, and steadfastly refused to sing when it was angry or upset. They were often captured and sold as pets by vendors who sold them for their mesmerizing song. Jubbas were also highly intelligent, and often simply "played dumb" in order to avoid being harrased by ignorant owners. Those jubba which were sold to appreciative owners sometimes allowed their innate intelligence to show, and became loyal companions.

In their native environment, jubba birds built heavy nests by scooping mud from Dagobah's swamps, then using the mud as a glue to hold sticks and plant matter together. These nests drooped into the swamps, allowing predators easy access to jubba eggs. The average specimen was a skilled hunter, consuming snakes and rodents. Captive jubba birds required live food and plenty of space in which to live, and many owners preferred to keep them in open spaces where they could "hunt" their prey. (SWJ1, IWST, OWS)

Jubben
This was one of the many Senators who were assassinated during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was later learned that Senator Jubben had been murdered by Zam Wesell and her ASN-121 assassin droid, after the droid's remains were discovered in an alleyway on Coruscant. (NEGD)

Jubieck
This ancient Sullustan was remembered as a heroic figure who sacrificed himself to save his home city. (GCG)

Jubieck
This name was common among Sullustan males, and referred to a famous Sullustan warrior who sacrificed himself to save his home city. (GCG)

Jubieck
This Sullustan worked for the crimelord Nirama, during the last years of the Old Republic. Jubieck was dispatched, along with the Trandoshans Orix and Dimogog, to recover the head of the protocol droid L80-RC. They were unable to obtain it peacefully, and were forced to struggle with a team of Republic soldiers in order to attain it. Unfortunately, Ginder had turned the head over to a team of freelance mercenaries. (WOA4)

Jubilar
This planet was known for its war-filled history. A dry, temperate world, Jubilar's inhabitants endured conflict and death in nearly every generation. Those generations that avoided outright war instituted gladiator and war games to fill their free time. The planet itself was divided into several regional sectors, each having its own government. (TBH, NECH)

Jubilee
This man was an officer with the Alliance. Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, Jubilee was part of the crew which accompanied Leia Organa to Shiva IV. When their ship was rocked by a sudden explosion, Jubilee was ordered to make sure that Leia's shuttle was safely out of the main hold. (MC53)

Jubilee Wheel
This space station was constructed in orbit around Ord Mantell during the early years of the New Republic, and was comprised mainly of salvaged parts and Hutt-supplied structures. The station resembled a large, open wheel, with spokes connecting the central hub to the outer ring. For the most part, the Jubilee Wheel was independent of the activities on Ord Mantell. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, a strange ship known as the Dread Weapon attacked the Wheel, clamping a thick umbilical to the station and literally sucking out its inhabitants. Many believed that those who survived and were captured were later turned into slaves by the Yuuzhan Vong. (HT, NJOSB)

Jubilee Wheel
A betting game found in many casinos, the Jubilee Wheel involved players betting on which of 100 numbers would appear after a random spin of a large wheel. Bets were placed on a number the player believes the wheel will stop on, and the wheel was spun. Once the wheel stops spinning, a win indicator will point to the winning number. Any player who correctly chose the winning number wins or splits the entire pot. If no player correctly chose the winning number, any player within five of the winning number then wins or splits half the pot, with the remaining half going to the house. If there were no winners on a given spin, the entire pot was taken by the house. (HSL, GCG)

Jubnuk
This was one of the Gamorrean guards employed by Jabba the Hutt, during the era of the Galactic Civil War. Jubnuk was the guard that tried to wrestle a blaster away from Luke Skywalker, only to be caught over the grate to the rancor pit. When Jabba opened the grate to drop Luke into the pit, Jubnuk was dropped in, too. The rancor consumed Jubnuk in three quick bites. (TJP)

Jubnuk
This was a common male name among the Gamorrean people. Like most Gamorrean names, it was essentially gibberish that indicated what a Gamorrean would do if you made him angry. (GCG)

Judarrl, Drakka
This female Zabrak was one of the few Jedi Knights who managed to survive the Jedi Purge, following the end of the Clone Wars. She escaped to Dantooine, and remained hidden in the ruins of the ancient Jedi temple for several decades, until she was discovered by a group of Alliance agents who were dispatched to Dantooine in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. (SWG2P)

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

Judgement 12-X7
This Imperial Hunter-Killer Probot pursued the Starlight Intruder, after it discovered that the Millennium Falcon was attached to it. (DE1)

Judges of the Dead
Located on the planet Socorro, this landmark was made up of four 50-meter tall rock formations. Found between Vakeyya and the Rym Mountains, the Judges of the Dead were believed by the local population to resemble hooded women which their faces hidden in sorrowful contemplation. The area became something of a shrine, and the Socorrans believed that a dead person's soul traveled from any point on the planet to be judged by the four women before being released to the afterlife. (BSS)

Judgment
Modeled after the Empire's Coalition for Progress, this branch of the Pentastar Alignment's Chamber of Order was established to ensure that the policies of the Alignment and the New Order were fully integrated into the laws of the government. The Great InQuestors of Judgment served as the most visible agents of this branch, and the appearance of an InQuestor often meant trouble for anyone involved. (SWJ3)

Judgment Circle
This was the name given to any gathering of the members of the Jedi Order to discuss the transgressions of a member of the order. The convocation of a Judgment Circle was allowed whenever a group of Jedi Knights were forced to work for an extended period of time beyond direct contact with the Jedi Council, and provided for the trial of a Jedi who was perceived to have acted in a way that was contrary to the Jedi Code. (OF)

Judgment Field
Located outside the city of Montellian Serat, on Devaron, this open arena was dedicated after the massacre perpetrated by Kardue'sai'Malloc during the New Order. It was on this field that the Devaronians set packs of quarra on their most heinous criminals. Kardue himself was executed there, after he was caught on Peppel by Boba Fett. (TBH)

Judgment Guides
This was the primary judicial body of the planet Kegan. During the last decades of the Old Republic, the Judgment Guides were under the control of the Benevolent Guides. (FFT)

Judicator
This Imperial-I class Star Destroyer was under the command of Captain Brandei during the years following the Battle of Endor. The Judicator was equipped with the most up-to-date targetting systems shortly before the Battle of Endor, and it was missioned to help other capital ships by coordinating their fire. Following the death of Emperor Palpatine at Endor, the Judicator became part of Grand Admiral Thrawn's fleet, and it was one of the Star Destroyers that Thrawn used to attack Bpfassh, as one of his first moves against the New Republic. The Judicator was later the lead ship on the mission to steal 51 mole miners from the Nomad City installation on Nkllon, for use in the Battle of Sluis Van. The Judicator sustained a good deal of damage at Nkllon, but was quickly repaired. It was also the ship which was sent to intercept the New Republic's attempt to regain the Katana fleet. (HTTE, DFR, CCG11, TLC)

Judicial Department
This was the primary law enforcement agency of the Old Republic, overseeing the legal aspects of leading the galaxy. The Judicial Department's role was greatly expanded during the Ruusan Reformations, when Chancellor Tarsus Valorum made the Jedi Order a branch of the Judicial Department, answerable to the Galactic Senate. (COD, NECH)

Judicial Forces
This branch of the Old Republic military patrolled the galaxy on missions to mediate disputes which had the potential of erupting into war. (FH1)

Judicial Service
This branch of the fledgling New Republic government was charged with overseeing the administration of the laws and regulations that were being adjusted during the transition from Imperial leadership. Like other branches of the formal government, the Judicial Service was separate from the military. (LSSM)

Judlie
This was one of the codenames used by Zozriodor Slayke to describe key locations of military value on the planet Praesitlyn, during the attempt by Freedom's Sons and Daughters to fend off a Separatist attack on the Intergalactic Communications Center, some two and a half years after the Battle of Geonosis. Judlie was a redoubt that was located some 600 meters behind Slayke's command center, and served as a scouting location to protect the army's rear flank. Like the command center and positions Izable, Eliey, and Kaudine, Judlie had a 360-degree view of its surrounding terrain, and its fire zone overlapped with Eliey and Kaudine. This provided the maximum defense of the command center. However, Zozridor's forces were badly outnumbered by the battle droids of the Separatists, and personnel from the other four locations were forced to fall back to Judlie to regroup. (JT)

Judrelle, Tassida
This Jedi Knight led a team to the asteroid belt near Cona, to break up the salt smuggling ring of Lojrak Shrag, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. The Jedi traveled to Cona with assistance and information from the smuggler Billey, who was named an "honorary legend" by the Arcona Grand Nest. (HNN5)

Jugaloo
This alien race was native to the Dandelo System. During the early years of the New Order, the Jugaloo were enslaved by the Starhunter Intergalactic Menagerie, but were eventually set free by Jann Tosh and his droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO. (DCAR)

JugFilter
Manufactured by SurvivalGear, the JugFilter was a one-liter water canteen with an internal decontamination system. Minor impurities and deadly toxins could be removed from any source of water, although the JugFilter took more time to remove more dangerous chemicals. (AEG)

Juggerhead
This Calamari fish was often hunted for food. (VP)

Juggernaut
This was the brand name of Cozzell's 510 combat power armor. (GUN)

Juggernaut
This was the more common name of one of the Empire's oldest ground assault vehicles, produced by Kuat Drive Yards as the HAVw A5 GAV. (ISB)

Juggernaut
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer was stationed by the Empire in the Kuat System, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was in position to defend a secret research facility, but was unable to stop an Alliance mission to infiltrate the facility, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)

Juggernaut Mark I
This was the designation of the very first series of Juggernaut war droids, produced for the Old Republic some 4,800 years before the Battle of Yavin, to help put an end to the Gank Massacres. (NEGD)

Juggernaut War Droid
This fearsome combat droid was at the forefront of the Great Droid Revolution, although its origins began nearly 800 years earlier. The original Juggernaut war droids were commissioned by Supreme Chancellor Vocatara of the Old Republic, some 4,800 years before the Battle of Yavin, to assist the Jedi Knights and the Republic's military forces in putting an end to the Gank Massacres. The hastily-developed Juggernauts were built from the basic form of the refueling droids that had been created for the Rocket-Jumper Elite Advance Unit.

These war droids stood nearly two meters tall, and were covered with white armor plating. The head of the Juggernaut was little more than a hemispherical dome that contained the primary sensor and communication gear, giving the Juggernaut a 360-degree field of "vision." These droids were armed with a shatter beam mounted to one arm, and a sonic stunner on the other. They could carry standard Republic weaponry in their hands, if needed. The specialized outrigger jetpack that allowed the resupply droids to reach remote locations was retained, giving the Juggernaut the ability to fly into battle behind the main line of combat, where they could cause immediate harm to enemy fighters.

After the Gank Massacres were stopped, Juggernaut war droids were recalled to Coruscant, where they served as a homeworld security force for centuries before HK-01 set off the Great Droid Revolution. Legions of Juggernaut war droids killed indiscriminantly, instilling fear in the hearts of sentient beings across the galaxy. One group even turned on the rocket-jumpers their distant forerunners had supported. In the wake of the revolution, any surviving Juggernaut war droid had its cognitive matrices removed, and production was immediately halted. Most of the inert shells were purchased by collectors and museums, and a handful of these were later acquired by the Iron Knights. (OWS, NEGD)

Juggy
This slang term was used by the early rebels to describe the HAVw A5 and HAVw A6 Juggernauts that were employed by the Empire, during the era of the New Order. (SWRAG)

Jugsmuk
This was a minor Gamorrean clan. (SWJ14)

Jugsmuk
This was a Gamorrean settlement, located on the Wugguh continent of their homeworld of Gamorr and controlled by the Jugsmuk clan. A great fair was held in Jugsmuk, during Slushtime, shortly after a smaller such fair at Bolgoink. (SWJ14)

Jugsmuk Station
Located within the settlement of Jugsmuk, on the planet Gamorr, Jugsmuk Station was known as a place where offworlders could live amongst themselves, and not get in the way of Gamorrean politics. (SWJ14)

Juhani
This was one of two primary subspecies of the Cathar race. Like their counterparts, the Myr Rho, the Juhani were less feline in appearance than members of the baseline Cathar stock. This subspecies was believed to have beennamed in honor of the ancient Cathar Jedi Knight, Juhani. (PH)

Juhani
This Cathar Jedi Knight, like may of her species who joined the Jedi Order, struggled with her instincts and emotions while trying to gain a greater understanding of the Force. Despite her inner struggles, Juhani committed herself completely to the Jedi Order, and refused to be anything less than the perfect Jedi Knight. In this, she also refused to accept failure among her peers, which tended to alienate her from many of her fellow Jedi. She was exceptionally loyal to her Jedi Master, Quatra, who trained her at the ancient Jedi compound on the planet Dantooine. During a training exercise, however, she became angry at Quatra for his unending teaching, and she accidentally killed her. Juhani, horrified at this turn of events, fled into the wilderness of Dantooine. She was eventually hunted down by her fellow Jedi Knights, but chose to fight to the death, rather than be turned back to the Light Side of the Force. She died in combat in The Grove. (KOTOR, SWDB)

Juhm
This Muun served as the overseer of the InterGalactic Banking Clan's shipyards on the planet Gwori, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Overseer Juhm ran the shipyards with slave labor, rather than droid labor, preferring to control living beings with his power. He also knew that any Republic attack on the shipyards would be called off if the Jedi Knights learned that there were living beings who might be killed in an attack. A self-important being, Overseer Juhm believed that the shipyards were perfectly defended by his droid troops and the scan gate that blocked access to the system. Thus, when a daring mission led by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker managed to breach the security of the scan gate and reach Gwori's surface, Juhm was forced to acknowledge his failure to Count Dooku. However, Juhm assured Dooku that he would take care of the situation, and managed to identify and destroy the freighter that was being used by the Jedi and their clone troopers. Unfortunately for Juhm, the Republic's forces had entered the system while encased in carbonite, so they survived the loss of the freighter and were later re-awakened by R2-D2. Upon learning that the Jedi had survived, Juhm was once again forced to speak with Dooku, but once again claimed that he could take care of things. The Jedi, however, were too resourceful for Juhm's droid troops, and they were able to rally the slave laborers and destroy the factories on Gwori. Juhm only added to the rebellion when he explained to Mirax that the slaves were nothing more than a living shield. The Jedi then stole a frigate and escaped with the slaves. Dooku then arrived on the planet and confronted Juhm about his failure, before ordering Asajj Ventress to kill Juhm with her lightsaber. Although the shipyards were lost, Darth Sidious was pleased to learn that Juhm's incompetence had been eliminated. (CWSOD)

Juicemelon
This melon was named for the sweet, tasty juice that could be extracted from its tender flesh. (DSTR)

Juicer
This was a term used by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe the pod-hunter vessels used by the Separatists. The nickname came from the way that a pod-hunter used its mandibles to crush an escape pod, squeezing down and cutting the escape pod open as if it were squeezing the juice from a ripe fruit. (CWTV02)

Juja-cake
This snack cake was popular during the last decades of the Old Republic. (JQ7)

Jujasickle
This was a popular, frozen dessert produced during the last decades of the Old Republic. (JQ7)

Jujiminmee
This Huttese verb translated into Basic as "to kidnap." (GMR5)

Jujumon
This was the Huttese word for the number one hundred forty-four (144). Note, however, that the Huttese counting system was based on a base-eight system. So, jujumon indicated the number one hundred (100) in the Basic language. (GMR5)

Jukassa, Zett
This young Padawan was among the many students of the Force who were training at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant when the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy. He was born with the name Warpoc Skamini to parents who were ore miners on Mon Gazza, but was taken as an infant to be brought up on Coruscant. When he was seven, Zett began experiencing strange visions of his parents' deaths, and the Jedi Knight Mierme Unill determined that his visions were connected to the murder of several miners on Mon Gazza. She received permission to tell Zett about his past, in an effort to solve the murders. It was then that he learned his true name, Warpoc Skamini, and the names of his parents, Sembric and Ashielle. After Mierme Unill exposed a group of Black Sun extortionists as the killers, she took Zett as her Padawan. However, she was killed in battle during the Clone Wars, and Zett's training fell to Cin Drallig. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, after Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, Zett was one of the few younglings to survive the initial attack of Anakin Skywalker on those Jedi still in the Jedi Temple. Zett fought bravely, and nearly escaped to the outside of the Temple before being overrun and shot to death by Sergeant Fox, who had been trying to keep Senator Bail Organa from entering the Temple. An official report later issued on Imperial HoloVision claimed that Jukassa had been killed while trying to assassinate Senator Organa. (OWS, SWI81, IS3, SWDB, SWI87)

Jul
This female name was common among the Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)

Jul, Bhat
This Kajain'sa'Nikto Jedi Knight apprenticed under master A'Sharad Hett, during the months leading up to the Clone Wars. When war broke out between the Separatists and the Old Republic, Bhat remained by his Master's side. They were part of the team dispatched to Metalorn, and later Aargonar, as the fighting intensified. Unfortunately, the were shot down over enemy territory on Aargonar, and forced to fight their way clear. During the struggle, an explosion rocked their position, and Bhat Jul caught the blast full in the chest. Despite the efforts of Anakin Skywalker to keep him alive, Bhat Jul died from his injuries a short while later. After Bhat Jul's death, and that of Master Sora Mobari, Anakin began to question why the Jedi Knights were not doing more to save the lives of beings in the galaxy, rather than fighting a war that led to more deaths. (RBJ, REL)

Jular, Pelav
This former Imperial Army Major left the military and joined the Neolsse family's local militia about ten years before the Battle of Yavin. Jular served as a General in the Keremark armed forces, and was in command of the defense of Fortress Keremark during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (HAS)

Julept
This Sullustan often visited the Farrimmer Café, to swap stories and sell pieces of technology he had acquired. He was fond to regaling other patrons with a story of a Wookiee companion who convinced him to travel to Byss in order to kill both Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. The story always ended with Vader grabbing the Wookiee by the leg as he tried to escape. Julept would end the story by saying, "Of course, I'm pulling your leg the same way Vader was pulling the Wookiee's!" (SWJ11)

Juliupper
This was one of the many transport ships that were used to evacuate the planet Sernpidal, just before the Yuuzhan Vong destroyed it. The Juliupper never got free, though, as it was attacked by a swarm of grutchins let loose by the Yuuzhan Vong. (VP)

Juloff
This man was a reporter for the Galactic News Network, and worked at GNN's Indu San bureau during the early years of the New Republic. It was later learned that Juloff was, in fact, and Imperial spy who infiltrated GNN in order to ensure that "correct" reporting of the events on Indu San took place. He was discovered by Kella Rand, who had been investigating the murder of Shek Barayel, when she spotted him working with Kaleb Darme. (SWJ6)

Julpa, Mon
The crown prince of Tammuz-an in the early days of the Empire, Julpa was a blue-skinned individual who was stripped of his mind and title by Zatec-Cha. Julpa was dropped on Tyne's Horky, and wandered the planet without any memory of his former self. He was known from then on as Kez-Iban, after he saved the life of Jann Tosh's uncle, Gundy. (DCAR, SWDB)

Julstan IV, Alexander

Julsujod III
This planet was the original homeworld of the Stribers race of Iskalonians. (EGA)

Juma Juice
This non-alcoholic beverage was favored by many Jedi Knights, during the last years of the Old Republic. It was first development many millennia before the Clone Wars, and remained popular for many, many generations. (JQ2, KOTOR2)

Jumba
This mammalian creature was native to the planet Tatooine, where it was raised by moisture farmers for its tough hide. Jumba hides were often cured and tanned, creating an inexpensive yet durable form of leather that was used to make carrying bags and luggage. (CVD)

Jumbli Juice
This was an alcoholic beverage that was popular during the early years of the New Order. (OWS)

Jumbolive
This massive, pitted fruit was often pickled or fermented to bring out its natural flavors. The pit was removed before serving, and was sometimes replaced with another pickled vegetable or legume. (OWS)

Jumerian
This alien race was a member of the New Republic. (AFA)

This was a common male name among the Gamorrean people. Like most Gamorrean names, it was essentially gibberish that indicated what a Gamorrean would do if you made him angry. (GCG)

Jumka, Mavikk
This Kadas'sa'Nikto was part of a gang that created havoc on the Outland Transit Station during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He was arrested and sent to the Ooov IV prison facility for his part in the crimes, and managed to negotiate a shorter sentence in return for providing information on his partners. For reasons unknown, the Outland police force issued a bounty for his capture, asking that he die a terrible death for his crimes. (BH)

Jumlaa
This word from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "torch." (GPB)

Jump
This tall, spindly smuggler was a regular at the Blue Light on Nar Shaddaa, until he ran afoul of Salla Zend. She broke his arm when he tried to make a pass at her. (THG)

Jump Beacon
see Jump Gate (TOJC)

Jump Droid
This was the term used to describe the specially-produced Super Battle Droids that were developed to operate in atmospheres, rather than on the ground. Each was equipped with a rocket jetpack, which allowed them to move about in the air. These droids were deployed to gas giant worlds, and to locations that were dangerous or at high-altitude. (CWA6)

Jump for Joy
This Twomi Skyfire - barely a year old - was discovered by Akanah while she and Luke Skywalker stopped over on Utharis, during their search for the Fallanassi. It was heavily modified to adapt it to the latest in navigational, piloting, and protection technologies. (TT)

Jump Freighter
This was a model of Mon Calamarian transport ship. (TM)

Jump Gate
These huge beacons were used by early astrogators to mark specific coordinates that were common to hyperspace and realspace, and which marked a safe stopping-off point in space. These jump gates were common very early in the development of hyperdrive starships, for they were home to huge spaceports which had equipment and supplies. As hyperspace travel became easier with the advent of the AI navcom units, these jump gates became simply spaceports, since the beacons were no longer needed. The ancient jump gates were very limited in their capacity to re-route a starship, with only enough memory to remember a small number of other locations. Thus, the network was criss-crossed with a network of routes which passed through these gates. . (TOJ, TOJC)

Jump Gate Accelerator
This was one of the earliest known methods of propelling a ship into hyperspace. Used in conjuction with a jump gate, the accelerator could assist in getting a starship into hyperspace. (HNN4)

Jumper
This Zelosian parasite was noctural, and feeds on dead bodies. The feeding frenzy of a swarm of jumpers had a unique effect on newly-dead bodies. They jumpers release certain enzymes and electrical discharges while feeding. This combination of events causes the dead body to jerk and flinch, and eventually kick-starts the brain. The dead body then seems to come back to life and walk, although the effect only lasted until the jumpers have consumed the body. This usually lasted a few hours. This "walking dead" effect was deathly frightening to the native Zelosians, since it occurs at night during the darkness they fear most. (PG2)

Jumper
This Arakyd personal jet pack was smaller than the Whisper pack, with less power but somewhat more affordable. However, after many decades of production, the Jumper experienced continual price increases while durability was reduced, making it less appealing to the galaxy's population. (GFT, AEG)

Jumper
This Charon bio-construct was created to collect specimens of alien lifeforms, doing as little damage as possible so that the Charon bioscientists can study their life processes. They have the ability to stun their targets, and have enhanced leaping abilities to surprise targets and escape quickly. (OS)

Jumpes
This was the Bocce term for a series of hyperspace jumps. (GPB)

Jumping Spider
This purple arachnid was native to Yavin 4. (ISU, JUS)

JumpMaster-5000
Known as a JM-5K, this was a crescent-shaped Corellian Engineering Corporation scouting and service ship. The crescent was bisected by a tubular main section, and the power plants were located at the points of the crescent. The design was outdated at the time of the Galactic Civil War, but many ships remained in service. The basic design measured just twenty meters in diameter, and could accommodate only a few passengers or 500 kilograms of cargo. (CCG4, TBH, GMR7)

Jumus
This planet was located along the Corellian Trade Spine, between Corellia and New Plympto. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Jumus and its system served as a primary staging area for the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. In the wake of the Battle of Duro, this fleet was poised to strike deep into the Core Worlds. Much of this build-up was meant to deflect attention from the battle fleet which later attacked Coruscant by way of Bilbringi. (BP, SBS)

Jun
This was one of the two primary crops grown on the planet Draenell's Point. (GMK)

Jun
This ball of searing rock was the first planet in the Faarlsun System. (WBC)

Jun, Victor
This schizophrenic man grew up worshipping the gods of his homeworld, and thoroughly believed that he was spoken to directly by them. He believed that he was regularly in communication with the gods, and gave himself to their every bidding. With every task he accomplished for the gods, Victor was shown ever more enticing glimpses of the awesome powers thet commanded, and which he could learn to control if he continued his devotion. To most of the people who lived in his village, however, Victor was just a muttering fool who lacked the mental capacity to live a normal life. Whenever he crossed the gods or didn't follow their commands, Victor experienced what he called the Black Pain, with left him debilitated and weak. Thus, he strove to earn the continued favor of his gods. When he was told to leave his family and spread the words of the gods, Victor didn't hesitate. He set out on his own, hoping to recruit others to the causes of his gods. Although few beings believed him, Victor nonetheless remained loyal to the beings he believed were communicating with him. When the Galactic Civil War broke out, Victor believed that he had finally found his calling. He petitioned countless numbers of beings who joined the Alliance, hoping to convince them that his gods could help them in their struggle against the "evil Empire." Again, Victor found few beings who shared the same beliefs he did, but that did not deter him from seeking out rebel leaders to petition for their conversion. (UA)

While there, Junak worked behind the scenes to steal or rease important Imperial data from research labs throughout the sector. When the Empire moved into Tapani Sector and threatened to take over the Mrlsst Academy, Junak sacrificed himself to save the school. Emperor Palpatine's exterminators captured him in one of the common areas, and they burned him on the spot. Ever since, no grass had grown in the area, which had been walled off as a monument to the ancient Jedi. It was rumored that Junak's ghost roams the academy grounds, and his legacy was that of the "Ghost Jedi," whose spirit haunted the Mrlsst Academy. This rumor was later used as the basis for the name of the band Ghost Jedi. (LOE, XWPA)

Junction
Valance the Hunter nearly captured Luke Skywalker on this planet, a deep-space outpost that provided a number of resupply centers outside the reach of the Empire. Luke had traveled to Junction on a mission to obtain repair parts for the Alliance's pool of droids, especially his own astromech unit, R2-D2. Junction itself was located at the intersection of the Hydian Way with the Gordian Reach and the Thesme Trace. Once known as Feriae Junction, the planet was a trade world that experienced a brief period of economic expansion when nearby Yavin became the galaxy's prime source for corusca gems. Over time, however, Junction was bypassed for other locations, and the planet became a run-down world controlled by unscrupulous leaders. In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, the Alliance began using Junction as a resupply center for ships that tried to break the Imperial blockade and reach the survivors at Massassi Base, but this simply attracted the attention of spies from the Empire and Black Sun. (MC27, WOA26, SWMW)

Junction 5
This temperate planet as located in the Mid Rim, near the worlds of Bezim and Vicondor. The leaders of these three worlds had been allied with one another for generations. Its moon, Delaluna, was also a habitable world, and many of its natives decided to settle on the moon instead. Over the years, the natives of Junction 5 feared that a super-weapon was being built on Delaluna. They called it the Annihilator, and feared that the natives of Delaluna would use the weapon against them. The people of Delaluna denied the existence of the Annihilator, however. Some twenty-three years before the Battle of Geonosis, the situation had reached a critical point, as the citizens were subjugated under the control of the Guardians. Many years later, after the onset of the Clone Wars, Junction 5 became a target of the Separatists, since it was one of the primary gateways to the Station 88 Spaceport, a major nexus to the galaxy's Mid Rim.

Junction, The
This section of the vast cityscape found on the planet Taris was originally set aside for new construction, many years before the Great Sith War. However, after demolition crews razed the area, the contractors never began work on the new buildings. The area was abandoned, and became known as the Junction to the inhabitants of the Lower City. It name came from its location, which was between the darkness of the Lower City and the open skies of the Upper City. Over time, the trash and refuse generated by the population of Taris was dumped in the Junction, making it little more than a landfill. (KOR1)

It was assumed that the Jundland Banshee was a male, and it was believed that he had been ostracized from his clan for his attacks on local moisture farmers. The Tusken Raiders didn't need the Jundland Banshee stirring up the already frightened farmers and forcing them to launch an attack of their own. The Alliance was fearful that the actions of the Jundland Banshee would disrupt the activities of the Sandwind Team on Tatooine, shortly before the Battle of Hoth. (AIR)

Jungen was incredibly adept at hand-to-hand combat, and used his skills to assist an Alliance team in rescuing Tallon on Tatooine. Jungen then formerly joined the Alliance, although this earned him a bounty on his own head. Jungen was targetted by Ssach'thirix for capture, but managed to elude the Shatras bounty hunter. (TM, AIR)

Jungle Rancor
This was the name used to describe a subspecies of rancors that was noted for its bright coloration. The hide of the average jungle rancor was covered with stripes in a variety of colors, depending on the coloration of their environment. These colors helped the jungle rancor blend into its surroundings. Because these creatures were popular with crimelords in the Outer Rim Territories, the brightly-colored jungle rancors appeared out-of-place in fortresses and pens. In addition to their bright coloration, jungle rancors were distinguished by the short spurs and spines that covered its limbs, neck, and even its tongue. It also had a very sensitive nose, which could smell prey across large distances. (CWVG)

Located in a series of caves and hand-carved chambers, the Jungle Vault was owned and operated by Whuvuum during the height of the New Order. After patrons entered through an armored, automatic door, they found themselves in a setting that resembled the lush, tropical jungles found on the surface. Whuvuum maintained a wide variety of plantlife inside his caves, using specialized grow lamps and holes drilled in the rock to bring in natural sunlight. Because most of the clientele was local to Streysel Island, Whuvuum felt no need to hire bouncers or guards. The locals, knowing how hard Whuvuum worked to maintain the Jungle Vault's plantlife, and knowing that it was the only jungle they were likely to encounter, usually stepped in to toss out any unruly patrons. Because of the dense plantings and the constant trickling of running water, most patrons found that the Jungle Vault was a great place to do all sorts of business, without being overheard. (GMR8)

Despite their best efforts to put a stop to these activities, many military personnel of the time were forced to leave one battlezone to engage the enemy in another, so junk ghouls often had free reign to take what they wanted. (CWVG)

Jusik, Bardan
This Jedi Padawan was being trained by Master Arligan Zey when the Clone Wars broke out. When Master Zey assumed the role of an intelligence officer, Jusik followed him as an advisor and companion. He was unprepared for his first encounter with a clone trooper, however, and often stared at individual troopers for long periods of time before recovering himself. The more he came to understand the cloned soldiers, the more Jusik realized that they were people, just like every other sentient being. The fact that they were being "manufactured" and sent into battle - just like the battle droids of the Separatists - meant that the Old Republic was using them as a means to an end, and little more. The fact that the Jedi Order had agreed to command these troops meant that the Jedi also were losing their respect for living beings.

Even though he was just a Padawan, Bardan arranged to argue these points with the Jedi Council, after the fighting on Qiilura. For his actions during the Qiilura incident, Jusik was promoted to the level of Jedi Knight, and given a military command position within the Grand Army of the Republic. He was assigned to the Special Operations Brigade on Coruscant, where he developed a deep trust and understanding of the Mandalorian culture from his clone troopers. He allowed himself to become a part of their culture, and eventually earned the nickname Bard'ika from Kal Skirata himself. When Jusik helped with the black-ops mission to smash a Separatist-funded terrorist cell on Coruscant, he found himself donning the armor of a clone trooper and joining the fight himself. He knew that such an act went contrary to what he was taught at the Jedi Temple, but he somehow knew that it was the right thing to do, especially once he realized that he was more comfortable in the barracks with his men than in the Jedi Temple.

His dedication to the clones came to a head when Atin finally confronted Walon Vau, and the two men entered a fight to the death. Jusik intervened, demanding that they put an end to their personal hostilities and focus on working together as a team. He was named an honorary member of the squad, and was later rewarded for his loyalty when Kal Skirata allowed him to wear Munin Skirata's armor during Skirata's personal mission to locate Ko Sai. As Skirata's clones came to question their existence in the wake of the war, Jusik found himself helping the locate the Kaminoan scientist. Questions of clone rights and what future of the clone army then began to gather in his mind. He went so far as to question how Master Yoda came up with the term "the Clone Wars" to describe the conflict, when he first used in the immediate wake of the Battle of Geonosis.

When Skirata, Ordo, Mereel, and Walon Vau finally caught Ko Sai on Dorumaa, it was Jusik who helped them by intercepting Arligan Zey and the clone commandos of Delta Squad, delaying them upon their arrival by suggesting that the commandos try to blend in with the locals and try to gather intelligence by monitoring local police communications. When Skirata finally left Dorumaa with Ko Sai in captivity, Jusik allowed the Deltas to finally go into action and investigate the explosion that occurred when Skirata destroyed the Kaminoan's underwater laboratory. He even managed to get Arligan Zey to approve whatever expenditures were necessary to locate Ko Sai, including a lengthy excavation of the site of Ko Sai's destroyed laboratory on Dorumaa.

After gaining the confidence of the commandos in Delta Squad, Jusik left them on Dorumaa while he traveled to Coruscant, where he hoped to use his skills with the Force to help heal one of their brothers, Omega Squad's Fi. His work was slow and tedious, since he was unsure exactly what to do or to look for. Nevertheless, Jusik stuck with it, spending his days alternately repairing Fi's brain and trying to use conversation and familiar objects to bring him out of his coma. The other members of Omega Squad questioned Jusik's actions, and feared that he would be expelled from the Jedi Order for his devotion to the clones and the Mandalorian way of life. Their worries only intensified when Jusik and Etain Tur-Mukan were ordered to report to Arligan Zey's office. During their meeting, Jusik renounced his commitment to the Jedi Order, and asked to be allowed to go his own way. Zey reluctantly agreed, knowing that his own faith in the government had been shaken over the preceding months.

Jusik had planned to used his skills as a field medic, but Kal Skirata hoped to put him to work in other areas. Skirata asked Jusik to remain close to Coruscant, in order to help train Etain's son, Venku Skirata, in the ways of the Force. Jusik couldn't make any guarantees, but agreed to do what he could to help the child come to terms with his abilities. Jusik found himself stripping away his old Jedi persona, and often refused to think of himself as Bardan Jusik, Jedi Knight. Instead, he had simply become Bard'ika. He dedicated himself to Fi's treatment and the safety of Venku Skirata, despite the mental and physical toll it took on his body. He learned that his healing was akin to simply visualizing what something out to look like, and using the Force to adjust the body to look that way. Jusik later agreed to return to Coruscant to help Kal Skirata with his plans to evacuate as many clones as he could to Mandalore. On Coruscant, Jusik led a mission to extract Olovot Qail Uthan from prison, and also helped rescue Arla Fett. However, in the chaos that followed the execution of Order 66, Etain was killed at the Shinarcan Bridge, and Darman and Niner were stranded on the planet. The remaining members of Skirata's band were forced to flee Coruscant, and sadly made their way back to Mandalore.

He and Venku went underground in the wake of the Clone Wars, with Jusik joining the Mando'ade and adopting the Mandalorian name Gotab. Eventually, the pair migrated back to Mandalore, where they kept their true identities a carefully-guarded secret for many years. Jusik went so far as to explain that his ability to heal other beings was not a Jedi trait, but something that was due to that the he was a Kiffar. Jaina Solo was the first to understand that they were both sensitive to the Force. His assistance in helping Sintas Vel recover from her hibernation sickness also revealed that Jusik was not actually a Kiffar, even thought he was able to read something of Sintas' history from the heart-of-fire necklace Fett had once given to Sintas. Jusik later explained to Jaina that had never invoked the Right of Denial, but instead simply stopped being a Jedi. He immersed himself in the Mandalorian culture, using it to help him survive the Jedi Purge. He married a Mandalorian woman, but they chose to adopt children rather have their own, to ensure that his secret remained hidden. His wife died sometime earlier, and Jusik stayed with the Mandalorians as Gotab, although his closest friends still called him Bard'ika. His family eventually grew to include twenty great-great-grandchildren. When pressed by Jaina, Jusik explained that he would have gladly given up his Force powers, with the sole exception of his ability to heal people. (RCHC, RCTZ, RCTC, LF8, RC66)

Jussafet Four
This planet supported the New Order of Emperor Palpatine. Located near a diamond-shaped nebula, the planet was strategic for its asteroid mining operations within its system. After the Battle of Endor, Jussafet Four remained loyal to the Empire, but was located along the border between Imperial space and the space controlled by Warlord Zsinj. Zsinj's Raptors made several strikes at Jussafet Four, taking materials and leaving destructoin behind. The New Republic, while on the hunt for Zsinj, intercepted a distress call from Jussafet Four and responded, despite the fact that the planet remained loyal to the Empire. (SOC)

Just, Dixon
This man was a frequent patron of the Coruscant underworld during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He was often seen in the company of his friends, Zey Nep, Artuo Pratuhr, and Civ Sila. (SWI75)

Just Another Art Form
This song, written and played by the band Deeply Religious, was banned by the Imperial Board of Culture. It first appeared on the compilation Deeply Religious. (GG9)

Just Armor
This shop sold a variety of personal armor, ship armor, and passive defense systems from its base on StarForge Station. It was owned and operated by Gjaddia and Morol. (FOP)

This space freighter sunk in the ocean of the planet Rathalay. Legend had it that the ship - sunk 900 meters deep - was filled with precious metals, and was guarded by schools of narkaa. (SOL)

Just Rigora
Originally defined by Arvo Norstrag as part of the Rules of the Blade, this form of rigora duel was invoked when a defeated pirate admitted his own guilt or fault before the assembled company. (PP, SWJ5)

Justa
This frigid, rocky moon orbits the planet Mutanda. Mining colonies extract prothium gas from the system, and much of it passed through the Justa starport on its way to the Core. Justa was the site of the system's only starport, which was garrisoned by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. The garrison was set up ostensibly to protect the interests of the three corporations which owned Justa and its starport, BlasTech Corporation, Czerka Weapons, and Blethern Gas Industries. (PG1)

Justahl
This man, a corporate Vice-President, discovered that the Hush-About personal jet pack was the perfect way to arrive at a business meeting in order to make an impression on his clients. (GFT)

Justic, Geon
This man was one of the Corporate Sector Authority agents placed on Ando Prime during the early years of the New Order. Justic favored the latest in galactic fashions and trends, and worked to maintain a cosmopolitan air despite the grminess of his outpost location. Ostensibly, Justic worked for the local miner's union, and was unaware of Ungasan's connections to the CSA. He believed that Ungasan was just a small-time crimnal. Justic hoped to eliminate the Twi'lek scout Ree, by failing to warn him about the presence of Talids in Juaka Canyon, thereby securing the vonium mines for himself. (GMR2)

Justice
This New Republic warship was the flagship of the Rapid Response Task Force, led by Luke Skywalker, during the months following the Battle of Endor and the formation of the New Republic. A Mon Calamari MC80a cruiser, the Justice was considered the sister ship to the Liberty, having been built concurrently at the same shipyard. In true Mon Calamari style, the two ships were meant to be complementary, with the Liberty being faster and more powerful, while the Justice was designed to be better protected and capable of deploying more troops. When the Justice was named the flagship of the RRTF, some 8,000 marines were stationed aboard, more than a third of the RRTF's entire force. Unfortunately, this combination of improved shields and more troops did not save the Justice when it was deployed to lead the assault on Lord Shadowspawn's base on the planet Mindor, some six months after the Battle of Endor. The task force was commanded by Admiral Kalback and his Mon Calamari command crew, in an effort to take advantage of their familiarity with the ship's controls. Shadowspawn deployed a disguised gravity bomb to meet the Republic's task force, and before the Republic could discover the bomb, it exploded in an intense wave of gravitic energy. This energy passed through the Justice, shaking the ship to its rivets and seams and tearing it into several large pieces before the crew could react. Although some portion of the crew was able to safely reach escape pods, Admiral Kalback was killed almost instantly, and General Skywalker was forced to land a the bridge section of the ship in order to save the few crew members who reached the bridge before it plunged into the atmosphere of Mindor. Only Skywalker's skills as a pilot and a Jedi Knight saved the bridge crew. In order to ensure that none of the ship's technology fell into Imperial hands, the Justice's Mon Calamari crew destroyed what was left it the bridge. (LSSM)

Justice
This New Republic Ranger-class gunship was part of the task force assigned to the Mon Mothma, during Operation Trinity. (FP)

Justice Action Network
This illicit virastack newsfede was the primary vehicle through which the members of the Justice Action Network disseminated their information. Like the main tenets of the terrorists who joined JAN, the newsfeed called for outright, mass revolution against the Empire. (SWJ3, OWS)

Justice Action Network
This anti-Empire terrorist group was founded on the planet Findris more than sixteen years before the Battle of Hoth by Earnst Kamiel. The goal of the Network was to completely destroy the infrastructure of the Empire through various means, including bombings and assassinations. Kamiel himself was wanted by the Empire on many charges, including thousands of bombings and the cause of over 10,000 deaths. He also had the death sentence in 54 different systems. The organization was often denoted by the acronym JAN. Shortly before the Battle of Endor, the JAN cell in Tapani Sector tried to take out the Imperial torpedo sphere that was stationed near Tallaan. Unknown to the agents, a similar effort was already underway by Vaskel Savill and House Melantha. Both factions discovered their separate activities during their simultaneous assaults on the sphere, and they worked to disrupt the other while hoping to take credit for the destruction of the ship. In the end, though, the attacks gave the Empire all the basis it needed to place a stranglehold on Tapani Sector. The Justice Action Network movement broke up when Kamiel was captured on Elrood and executed on Haldeen some time later. (SWJ8, LOE)

Justice Crusader
This attack cruiser was owned and operated by Jedi Master Raskta Lsu, during the years following the Battle of Ruusan. An exceptionally fast ship, the Justice Crusader required a crew of four to operate. Master Raskta often carried several members of the Jedi Order on her missions, so they usually served as the crew. The final mission of the Justice Crusader came when Master Raskta accompanied Lord Valenthyne Farfalla and Johun Othone to Tython, where they hoped to capture Darth Bane. However, Bane and his apprentice, Zannah, managed to destroy the Jedi and flee to Ambria. They left the Justice Crusader on Tython, where it was later discovered by Jedi investigators who responded to Zannah's message of a Sith Lord's existence on Ambria. (DBRT)

Justice Droid
A series of assassin droids manufactured by Uulshos, Justice Droids were first introduced many years before the onset of the Clone Wars. The series proved to be strong and durable, and production continued for many decades. These droids were later produced for Imperial use, during the era of the New Order. (WBC, OWS)

Justice Star
This was believed to have been a possible name for the first Death Star, as part of an Imperial propaganda plan to promote the station's benefit to a galaxy which was completely under the control of Emperor Palpatine. (IANH)

Justice Systems
This small corporation was formed in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, and produced a wide range of personal security and defense droids that were modeled after military designs. (DN2)

Justiss, Kai
This Jedi Knight was appointed to serve as the watchman of the planet Kashyyyk during the height of the Clone Wars, replacing Jedi Master Yoda who had agreed to become a military leader for the Old Republic. Although Senator Yarua was unconvinced that the Wookiees should remain loyal to the Republic, Justiss believed that the Wookiees would remain staunch supporters of the Old Republic. Kai Justiss later joined Jedi Master Tsui Choi in a mission to the planet Drongar, where they were captured by Count Dooku and held briefly. 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, Justiss was one of a handful of Jedi Knights who managed to escape the Jedi Purge. Justiss managed to remain free for only a short period of time, and was eventually betrayed to the Crimson Nova bounty hunters by farmers on the planet Garqi. (SWI71, J4, SWI84, SWI89)

Jut
This was a common name given to Zabrak males. Like many Zabrak names, it related to survival characteristics, and meant "fast" or "swift". (GCG)

Jut Nut
This nut was native to the planet Naboo, and was the favorite food of the peko peko. Note that the Star Wars Databank claims this was a jute nut. (SON, SWDB)

Jute Nut
see Jut Nut. (SWDB)

Juteau Settlement
This small town was located near the Garish Ridge, on the planet Redcap. (SWJ5)

Jutka
This Tuhgri, a native of Dayark, was the leader of his people, shortly after the Battle of Endor. It was Jutka who met with the crew of the FarStar at the edge of the Kathol Rift, shortly after encountering an Aing-Tii ship. Note that Vision of the Future indicates Jutka was a heavyset man. Jutka detained Talon Kaarde and the crew of the Wild Kaarde after they were attacked by pirates, having understood that Kaarde flew with altered identification codes. Jutka gave Kaarde no help, though, even after learning that Kaarde was an unwilling bystander in the battle between Crev Bombassa and Rei'kas. (KO, VOF)

Jutrand System
This star system was located along the Gevarno Loop. During the Clone Wars, the Jutrand System was loyal to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. (SHPT)

Juuan
This Mando'a word meant "beside" or "next to." (OWS)

Juucsuur
This was a common name among the Sauvax race. (UANT)

Juun, Jae
This Sullustan was an independent spacer and part-time smuggler who worked from a base on Regel Eight during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Juun and his partner, the Ewok named Tarfang, worked out of Juun's starship, the XR808g for many years, before being drawn to the Unknown Regions and going to work for the Colony. When Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, arrived in search of their twins, Jaina and Jacen, Jae Juun reluctantly agreed to help them get to Yoggoy. Although not fully a Joiner, Jae understood that the Colony - and UnuThul in particular - did not want the Solos to locate their children, out of fear that they might interfere with the struggle against the Chiss.Jae Juun, however, accepted at face value the Solos' offer of assistance. Although he was dismayed to learn that the Solos were trying to remove their children and the other Jedi from the hive, he realized that he was not ready to become a Joiner. Thus, he worked to earn Han's trust, drawing on his knowledge of the history of the Galactic Civil War to try and anticipate his actions. Jae Juun discovered that much of Han's skill was based on spur-of-the-moment decisions, which was hard to fathom but easy to acknowledge.

During the height of the so-called Qoribu Crisis, Jae Juun found himself working with the Solos to try and avoid all-out warfare between the Chiss and the Colony. He was forced to sacrifice the XR808g on a mission to infitrate the Colony's hives in the Qoribu moons, and later joined Han as part-time co-pilot of the Millennium Falcon. When the Colony was relocated to the Utegetu Nebula, Han arranged for Jae Juun to purchase a new transport vessel from Lando Calrissian, and convinced Lando to give them a lucrative transport contract. The Sullustan found the new vessel - a Mon Calamarian Sailfish model - too expensive to operate, and traded it in on the Ronto-class transport designated DR919a. He also declined to renew his contract with Lando, and instead went to work for Second Mistake Enterprises.

In this new capacity, Jae Juun and Tarfang inadvertently provided shipments of spinglass sculptures containing Gorog assassin bugs to the Galactic Alliance's Fifth Fleet, which was blockading the Utegetu Nebula. In an effort to atone for this, they allowed Solo and Luke Skywalker to commandeer the DR919a and attack the Gorog nest ship hidden within the Utegetu Nebula. The DR919a was badly damaged in the attack, and Jae Juun did all he could to control its crash-landing on the hull of the Gorog nest ship. Jae Juun and Tarfang fought valiantly alongside Solo and Skywalker, and managed to disable the vessel before it could escape. In the aftermath of the blockade, Jae Juun and Tarfang found themselves being approached by Admiral Nek Bwua'tu, who offered them positions as intelligence agents. Bwua'tu knew that their knowledge of the Colony, as well as their contacts at Second Mistake Enterprises, put them in a position to gather information about the Killiks.

Jae Juun and Tarfang heartily agreed to the offer, and somehow managed to survive missions that placed them in the midst of deadly situations. They later found work with The Directors, and were able to alert Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo that the Squibs had sent Tito and Yugi to execute them. In the wake of the Swarm War, Jae Juun and Tarfang continued to serve as intelligence agents, and were among the many beings who were charged with keeping an eye on Han and Leia Solo during the Galactic Alliance's conflict with The Confederation. This led them to Kashyyyk, where the Solos hoped to convince the Wookiees to secede from the Alliance. Tarfang tried to physically prevent the Solos from reaching the top of Council Rock, but was unable to stop them. Jae Juun then drew a blaster and tried to arrest them, but the Wookiees allowed the Solos to speak after Leia earned the right. (DN1, DN2, DN3, LF6)

JuunTaar Commercial
According to Jae Juun, this was the name of his shipping operation. The flagship of the JuunTaar Commercial fleet was the XR808g transport vessel. In reality, Jae Juun was little more than a smuggler, and the XR808g was a battered YT-1000 freighter, but the use of this name often earned him a measure of credibility. He used the name when he attempted to reach Qoribu with Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon, hoping that the Colony would believe that they were bringing supplies and allow the two ships to land . (DN1)

Juuus
This Trandoshan was one of only three members of his species which lived on Edic Bar during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He worked as a public streetsweeper, although it was rumored he had been a starship pilot in his earlier career. (LFC)

Juuus
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. The meaning of this name was lost over time, but it was generally considered to mean "tastes of his foes". (GCG)

Juvani
An Imperial frigate destroyed by Alliance starfighters while it was undergoing service near Sunaj IV. (XW)

Juvex Lords
This was the term used to describe the leaders of the various royal houses that populated the Juvex Sector of the galaxy. Like their neighbors in the Senex Sector, the Juvex Lords allied themselves with Roganda Ismaren, some eight years after the Battle of Endor, when she set in motion her plan to use the Eye of Palpatine to attack the New Republic. (NECH)

Juvex Sector
This area of the galaxy was found in the Outer Rim, and was located near the Ninth Quadrant and the Senex Sector. (COJ)

Juyo
This was the ancient term - taken from the High Galactic language - used to describe the primary variation of the Form VII lightsaber fighting style. This form of combat was believed to have been first developed on the planet Sarapin by a non-sentient predator, and later adapted to lightsaber combat. It involved the use of streamlined attacks, coupled with physical strength, to defeat an opponent. Juyo and its other variation, Vaapad, were considered the most difficult of combat forms to learn and master, since it required incredible discipline and control. (SWI68, WOTC, SWGAL, EGF)

Juz
This common Zabrak surname meant "chieftain". (GCG)

Juzzian
This unusual alien race had cone-shaped bodies that were essentially all mouth, filled with an assortment of teeth. There were two distinct races of Juzzian, a mountain-hopping form and a more sedentary form. (TCD)

This was the Ewok word for the number 8. (GPB)

JV-Z1/D
A series of domestic service droids built by Serv-O-Droid, the JV-Z/D1 filled a galactic need for a humanoid gentlebeing household automaton. The JV-Z1/Ds were tireless workers, and were rivaled only by the protocol droids built by Cybot Galactica in reliablity. Their humanoid stature was slightly stooped, giving them a subservient appearance. (DESB, EGD)

JV-Z1/S
This series of droids was created to be mobile data repositories. Short and boxy, the JV-Z1/S series was developed during the height of the Old Republic. (SWJ8)

Jweab VII
Beyla Rus was rumored to have a lodge hidden on the far side of this planet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GG10)

Jwlio
This temperate world was one of the many inhabitable moons of the planet Qoribu. For much of its history, Jwlio was a temperate world of grassy plains. It was in this condition that the Taat hive of the Colony found it when they established their nest on the moon, shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When the Chiss Ascendancy began looking for ways to drive the Colony back away the border of Chiss space, they used chemical defoliants to destroy the plains of Jwlio, hoping to drive the Taat off the moon and away from Chiss space. (DN1)

JX-09
This Aratech Secured Prisoner Transport Vehicle measures 14 meters in length, and had a single pilot, four guards, ans space for up to 20 passengers. It was a long, insectile craft built around the chassis of a basic speeder truck, with four small wings for stabilization. Two flexbile mandibles allow the pilot and guards to remain inside while detaining particularly troublesome subjects. (JASB)

JX40 Jailspeeder
This TaggeCo Mobile Detention Wagon was a fourteen-meter-long repulsorcraft that was designed to transport up to forty-five prisoners in stasis stalls. The JX40 had a dual-purpose mission profile: to block the advance of rioters and force them backwards, and to transport those who resist to detention facilities. The JX40 required a pilot and gunner, and was protected by armored stun panels, three grenade launchers, and forced-steam jets. (CSA)

Jyalma
This was the name of the Socorran windy season, when competing cells of warm and cold air created winds in excess of 150 kilometers and hour outside the city of Cjaalysce'I. The city was walled off to keep the intense winds from destroying it. (BSS)

Jydan
This was the most prevalent religion worshipped among the Ka'hren on the planet V'shar. It rose to prominence as the primary religion of the Unfyr Warriors, but died out when that group itself died out. (AIR)

Jydan Writings
These sacred texts contained the laws and regulations of the Jydan religion. According to the religion, the Writings were created by the three prophets of each Jydan god, and related the teachings and tales of those gods. The Writings were considered companion works to the Volumes of Truth by both the Jydan and the Ni'Shaw-Dak Ministry. (AIR)

Jygat
This was one of the primary cities found on the planet Mygeeto. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, the Grand Army of the Republic bombed key locations in the city, but was unable to fully take control of the planet. (RCTC)

Jymbud
This being was one of the many starship captains who worked for Damarind Corporation during the height of the New Order. He accepted a position as the Captain of a corusca gem fishing station in orbit around Yavin shortly after the Battle of Yavin, but his station was attacked by a pack of floaters. All aboard the station were killed when the floaters disabled all major systems, and the station exploded just before it crashed into Yavin's core. (PH)

Jyng, Oskar
This man was a former design team chief at Ubrikkian, during the early years of the New Order. Doctor Jyng was enticed to leave that position for a job in the Corporate Sector Authority's Research Division. He took the CSA job, and became the inventor of the War Wheel. (CSA)

Jynni's Virtue
Owned and operated by Naz Felyood, this pirate freighter plied the spacelanes during the height of the New Order, until it suddenly disappeared. Investigation by Luke Skywalker and his new order of Jedi Knights discovered dubious records of the Jynni's Virtue being shot down over the planet Korriban just prior to the Battle of Yavin. The recordings were discovered inside a sealed wall of the tomb of a 7,000 year old Sith Lord named Dathka Graush, which seemed to indicate that the recordings were at least that old. How they got there remained a mystery, since the timestamps on the recordings dated them about six months prior to the Battle of Yavin. The recordings showed that the pirates had been intercepted by an Imperial patrol and decided to make a hasty jump into hyperspace, but the astromech droid aboard the Jynni's Virtue exploded, killing the navigator and dropping them into a remote region of space. The ship was then attacked by unknown forces, which were not detected until their incoming fire rocked the freighter. The Jynni's Virtue came to rest near the Valley of Golg, and Captain Felyood set out to scout their location. His discovery of the tomb of Dathka Graush led to contact with the jewel known as the Heart of Graush. Felyood himself was possessed by the spirit of the ancient Sith Lord, and the Korriban Zombies were released. In order to keep the zombies from escaping the planet, First Mate Babbnod Luroon set off the ship's self-destruct mechanism. The Jynni's Virtue exploded in a ball of flame that killed the remaining crew and most of the zombies. (PH)

Jynsol, Dera
The fourth candidate on Lando Calrissian's rich wife list, she was a native of Ord Pardron. (AC)

Jyrenne Base
This Imperial Army-Navy ordnance center, located near the city of Iziz on the planet Onderon, supplied weapons and munitions to both the Imperial Army and Navy, during the height of the New Order.

Jyrzk
This smuggler tried to use the drive system and astrogation comupter of a Viper probe droid's hyperspace jump pod to an escape pod, and used this conglomerate to dump small cargoes to a specific location whenever he was in danger of being boarded by a customs patrol. (FTD)

Jyvus
This was one of the many orbital cities established around the planet Duro. During the height of the Clone Wars, Separatist forces under the command of General Grievous attacked Jyvus and overwhelmed its defenses. This gave Grievous access to the controls for the planetary shield that protected Duro, which was prompted shut down. From this staging point, the Separatists were able to launch orbital bombardments of Duro's surface. (HNN4, SWI75)
