During the centuries leading up to the Great Sith war, most neeks took quite readily to humanoid contact, and many beings kept neeks as pets. Explorers kept small groups of neeks for use during scouting missions, as the naturally skittish neeks would become frightened whenever impending danger was at hand, thus acting as a natural alarm system. In the wake of the war, however, neeks became much more skittish, as the taint of the Dark Side of the Force permeated their natural habitats. Neeks also evolved in the presence of the Force, and subsequent generations developed an immunity to the powers of a Force-sensitive individual. (TOJ, TOJC, EGA, DBRT)

Neek me
This Huttese phrase translated roughly into Basic as "the next time." (E1A14)

Neeka
Meaning "sweet", this was one of the most common names among Rodian females. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)

Neek-in-the-Middle
This was a childrens' game in which two players tried to keep an object - usually a ball - from a third player, who stood in between them. (E3N)

Neekoflight
Native to the jungles of the planet Neimoidia, this comical bird was distinguished by the membranous crest atop its head. Their stout bodies were dominated by their wide-mouthed heads. The call of the neekoflight was distinctive, something like a beeping squawk. (WSW)

Neela
Meaning "gentle", this was one of the most common names among Rodian females. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)

Neela
This Rodian female was once married to Greedo the Elder, and was also Greedo and Pqweeduk's mother. Neela and her brother, Nok, realized that the Tetsus clan was in trouble after Navik the Red killed Greedo the Elder, and they established a plan to leave Rodia at a moment's notice. Their efforts paid off briefly, when they were able to flee Rodia and reach Nar Shaddaa before Navik caught them. Unfortunately, Neela was killed in an Imperial ambush on Nar Shaddaa's Corellian Sector when Greedo was just a teenager. (TME, NEGC, HFG)

Neela, Sayer Mon
This woman once served as a barrister for the Old Republic. She was one of the more vocal opponents of Senator Palpatine's plans after his ascension to the position of Supreme Chancellor, and was one of the first individuals targeted for assassination by the new Chancellor. She fled public service, eventually joining the Alliance as a battle strategist and tactician. Her own sons had died while fighting against the Empire, and it was the least she could do to continue their legacy. She, along with her personal aide Raan Stasheff, managed to hide out on the planet Horob for a while, but their presence was eventually discovered. This proved to be detrimental to the Alliance, as the research base on Horob was close to completing work on an experimental sensor chip. Sayer Mon Neela managed to get a version of this chip before being captured by Captain Sergus Lanox, in order to preserve the work. She managed to escape the Imperials, but only after Raan took a blaster bolt meant for her, and Captain Lanox helped her reach the Starcrossed. (SWJ10)

Neelah
This was the childhood nickname of Kateel of Kuhlvult, and was derived from the way she said her name before she learned how to talk. This was the only name she remembered after her sister, Kodir, tried to wipe her memory in order to keep her own plans a secret. Kateel had objected to Kodir's plans, and her ambitious sister needed to quiet Kateel quickly. She arranged for Kateel to be kidnapped and have her memory erased, but the thugs did a very poor job of it. Kateel almost died because of the injuries she sustained. Kateel was then supposed to be shipped off by Ree Duptom, never to be seen again. After Duptom's engines suffered a partial meltdown and lef this ship adraft, Kateel was found by Boba Fett and brought to Jabba the Hutt's palace for safekeeping. Fett remained at the palace, ostensibly to remain on Jabba's payroll, but primarily to keep an eye on Neelah. He knew that she was part of the mystery surrounding Kuat of Kuat, although he wasn't sure how all the pieces fit together. When Jabba was killed near the Pit of Carkoon, and Boba Fett nearly killed by the Sarlacc, Neelah was left to wander on her own until she was discovered near the Sarlacc by Dengar and his betrothed, Manaroo. Both Fett and Neelah were taken to Dengar's hideout in the desert, where Dengar and Neelah nursed the other bounty hunter back to health. Over the next month, Neelah began to recover bits and pieces of her memory, both on her own and through Fett's own descriptions of the situation surrounding her. As they tried to unravel the mystery of Kuat of Kuat, Neelah discovered that she had a regal bearing and a strong will. When she stumbled across a picture of the scratches left by Nil Posodum in the holds of Slave I, a big piece of her erased memory flooded back into place. Posondum had scratched the logo of Kuat Drive Yards into the ship's floor, and Neelah suddenly remembered that she was a member of one of the Kuat ruling families. After being captured by Kodir near Oran-?, the rest of her memory returned. Once back at Kuat, she exposed her sister's duplicitous schemes, but couldn't save Kuat of Kuat from killing himself. She didn't want to take control of KDY, but made sure that the ruling families were kept in line. She was distinguished by her athletic build and jet-black hair, and she had a scar on her cheek from the vibroblade of a Gamorrean guard in Jabba's employ. The Gamorrean had tried to keep her from escaping Jabba's palace, but she managed to take the weapon from the clumsy beast and kill him with it. (MA, SLS, HM)

Neelanon
This planet was a member of the Old Republic. Neelanon was located in the Senex Sector of the galaxy. (SWDB, CHRN2)

Neelgaimon
A planet feared for its slave-worked sandmines. (COJ)

Neelian
This corvette was one of the many ships used by the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. It was dispatched with the Ranger and its small fleet to Praesitlyn, under the command of Jedi Master Nejaa Halcyon, on the mission to retake the Intergalactic Communications Center from the Separatists. While Halcyon oversaw the operation from the Ranger, Anakin Skywalker commanded the main landing force from the Neelian. The orders from General Halcyon indicated that the Neelian was to stay out of any firefight that might occur, and to focus on getting her troops to a safe drop point. (JT)

Neelig
This venomous serpent, once native to the planet Ithor but now extinct, was known for its ability to get inside homes. It was a fast-moving reptile, which made it hard to catch. (GCG)

Neelig
This was one of the most common male names used by members of the Ithorian race. Although most Ithorian names were not used for a specific meaning, historians found that this name referred to an extinct species of venomous serpent. (GCG)

Neema
Vima-Da-Boda's daughter, Neema was as gifted with the Force as any of her famous ancestors. Vima tried to teach her, but Neema wanted to learn more than her mother's traditional teachings would provide. Neema began to experiment on her own, unknowingly delving deeper and deeper into the Dark Side of the Force. Thus, Neema's fall from the Light Side was utterly complete, beyond even Vima's ability. Vima kept trying, though, and Neema became angry at her mother's attempts. She fled her mother and became the mistress of an Ottethan warlord, in a effort to gain the aid of some friends who courted him. Neema eventually married him, to further gain aid, but he quickly tired of her and cast her out. Neema used all of her Dark Side power to strike him down, but the warlord used a primitive defense and survived the attack. He then imprisoned her, where she eventually repented her ways and tried to telepathically contact her mother, in an attempt to regain her freedom. Vima heard, but arrived too late, for the Ottethan had set her loose in the forests of his home world, where she was killed by the native rancors. (DE1, DESB)

Neena
This former Alderaanian woman grew up in the household of Bail Organa. She displayed a large amount of musical talent, and was off-planet studying when the Empire destroyed Alderaan. This left her without any form of support, which meant that she had to break off her studies and fend for herself. She supported herself by performing aboard starliners, always trying to locate surviving members of the Organa household. Eventually, she found herself working on Adarlon, where she met Drun Carinwick and became involved with the Alliance. She became an undercover agent, posing as one of the performers aboard the Chariot in order to gather information on the Moff of the Minos Cluster. (GG6)

Neenoc
This Alliance YT-1300 transport was destroyed by Maarek Stele, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE, TIEP)

This youth was one of the many students of the Force who were training at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the height of the Clone Wars. She was one of the many students who participated in the Apprentice Tournament that was eventually won by Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy. Pirt managed to defeat Enver Hoxha after Enver's lightsaber was taken by Scout, but Pirt was unprepared for a sneak attack by Lena Missa. Lena came up behind Pirt and put her in an arm bar that forced the young girl to yield. (YDR)

Neesada
Meaning "high diver", this name was common among Gungan females. (GCG)

Neeta
This woman befriended Darrik, after he landed on Cloud City with Platt Okeefe. She took him to the Floating Fish casino, where Darrik hoped to meet up with Platt, and showed him the basics of playing sabacc. (IDC)

Neetakka
This Rodian clan took their name from the Rodian word for "Ultimate Hunters." The Neetakka were one of the younger Rodian clans, and spent their entire focus on honing their hunting skills. Other clans regarded the Neetakka as bloodthirsty goons, albeit excellent hunters. The Neetakka were one of the few Rodian clans to fight for the right to leave Rodia and establish holdings in the galaxy at large, and those members of the clan who managed to leave the planet were adamant in their support of those still on Rodia. (SPG, OWS)

Neetuhl
When translated into Basic, this Ewok word meant "early." (GPB)

Neevat
This Rodian was a rival of Harno, during the early years of the New Order. In an attempt to discredit Harno, Neevat began making claims that Harno was drugging the targets of his big-game hunts, in an effort to make their capture and killing easier for his clients. Harno confronted Neevat, and in the argument that followed, Harno accidentally killed Neevat. Harno was forced to flee Rodia, and took up work with the Trandoshans. (WOTC)

Neevlin
This name was common among Ithorian females. Although such names do not generally have meaning, Ithorians who studied their race's history learned that the name referred to a protective species of Ithorian bird. (GCG)

Neevlin
This Ithorian bird was known to be extremely protective of its young. (GCG)

Neeyutnee
This young woman served as the Queen of the planet Naboo, succeeding Queen Jamillia during the early stages of the Clone Wars. After hearing the stories of Peppi Bow, and how the Gungan's shaaks had been acting strangely, Queen Neeyutnee was inclined to agree with Bow's belief that the Separatists had returned ot Naboo. Captain Typho and Chrin verified the presense of battle droids in a hidden valley, prompting Queen Neeyutnee to request that Senator Padme' Amidala petition the Galactic Senate for assistance. Senator Amidala asked for more proof, and the Queen was able to show her the remains of the battle droids that had been shot down by Typho and his men. (CWOC1, CWTV17)

Neff
This woman was a member of the Cloud City Wing Guard, at the time when Darth Vader had the outpost garrisoned. She was curious about the Dark Lord, and tried to catch a glimpse of him whenever possible. (JKG)

Neff
This Imperial Major was stationed in the Koornacht Cluster, as part of the Black Sword Command. He survived the Yevethan takeover of the Black Fleet shipyards, and was imprisoned on Pa'aal. Neff worked with Sil Sorannan, creating pulse-transceiver chips for use in the prisoner uprising during the Black Fleet Crisis. (TT)

Neffron
This man served as the Undermaster of the spaceport on Kelada, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was continually searching for evidence of rebel activity, hoping to earn credits and power by revealing it to the Imperial authorities. (SWJ6)

Nefra Canyons
This was a spectacular canyon located on the moon of Sulon. (RAG)

Nefta
One of the Emperor Palpatine's closest friends, and a member of the reborn Emperor's Dark Side Adepts. He soon realized that the Emperor's continual rebirth through the use of clones was not what it seemed to be. Along with Sa-Di, Nefta formulated a plan to destroy all of the Emperor's clones and trap his Dark Side energies in the netherworld forever. Following the reborn Emperor's death on Byss, both Sa-Di and Nefta began destroying the clone vats. Before they could finish the job, however, they were both killed by Sedriss. Unknown to both of them at the time, Palpatine had already entered a new clone body. (DE2)

Neftali
This frozen ball of ice was the second planet of the Socorro System, orbiting just outside the planet Socorro. Two kinds of ice from the planet were mined as a commodity by the Socorrans, who get little water from their desert planet. Pure-water ice was used in the preparation of zsajhira berry tea as well as Socorran raava, while nether ice was used as a coolant. It was believed that Neftali was forced into its wide, erratic orbit when Sokor expanded into a red giant. The new orbit, which brought Neftali near to Socorro, created a new seasonal pattern on Socorro. Like Socorro, Neftali was seismically active, and volcanic lava below the surface kept the Beija Seas liquid despite the frigid temperatures. (BSS)

Neftali'I
This was the Socorran name for the planet Neftali. (BSS)

Neftat
This Socorran term was believed to be based on an Old Corellian word which meant "home out of the desert." (BSS)

Nega, Anniha
This young man was one of Coruscant's most sought-after bounty hunters and assassins during the last decades of the Old Republic. By his early twenties, Nega had established his reputation as a hunter, although many of the hunts he included on his resume' were falsified to bolster his image. Nevertheless, he had innate skills as a tracker, and he always got his prey. Nega dressed in a suit of Ithullian war armor, and tracked his prey in a modified Z-95 headhunter he called the Flare. (CCW)

Nega-ball
A sport played with an anti-gravitational ball. (RPG)

Negamo
This pungent spice was made from dried leaves, and was a popular ingredient in soups. (OWS)

Negate
Originally defined by Arvo Norstrag as part of the Rules of the Blade, this was the most serious form of duel recognized by the Phosphura Belt Pirates. In a negate duel, two opposing factions of a pirate company find themselves at odds with each other. Their contention threatens to tear the pirate band apart, thereby threatening the company as a whole. Each faction chooses a champion and up to four aides, with the champion most often being the leader of the faction. No energy weapons were allowed, and the duel ended when one of champions was defeated. This form of duel was most often invoked to choose a new leader when a pirate gang does not have a clear successor. Sometimes, it was fought within a ring of fire, a duel sometimes referred to as the Fire Ring of Fornax. (PP, SWJ5)

Negatron
An explosive substance used in bombs and other detonation devices. (CSW)

Negatron
This was a slang term used on many backwater worlds to indicate when something was incorrect. (HSL)

Negatron Impact Charge
A form of explosive that uses a compressed, directed bundle of negatrons to cause massive amounts of damage. Doctor Arakkus used several of these charges to accelerate the gravity of a remote star by collapsing much of its core. Knowing that he was going to die of severe radiation poisoning, Arakkus set up a huge gravity well to draw in and kill others along with himself. (CSW)

Negleem, Fesjo
This Imperial research scientist was the man who determined the source of the Gray Death disease, encountered on Sedesia during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The Alliance team which was dispatched to Sedesia discovered that Negleem was formerly part of the Empire's biowarfare division, which led them to believe that the Gray Death had been engineered. Further evidence surfaced when Negleem's noted revealed that he had, in fact, created the disease, which he codenamed FNV-23, as part of the Empire's Pathogen-Based Loyalty Enhancement Program. Doctor Negleem himself was only loyal to the Empire as long as it provided him with a chance to gain more power for himself. When it was revealed that the Empire was using the Sedesians as a experiment, Doctor Negleem found passage off-planet and escaped the riots which ensued. (SWJ6)

Negola dewaghi wooldugger
This was a vehement exclamation used by members of the Aqualish race to threatened any being who invaded an individual's personal space. (E4, LLOW)

Negollup
This Aqualish bounty hunter was typical of his species: rude, abrasive, and itchy for a fight. Known as Scrapper to other hunters, Negollup was part of a group hired by the Empire to hunt down the Alliance agents who were investigating the construction of Bissillirus Resupply Base shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (GMK)

Negotiator
This warship served as Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi's flagship, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. (CWTV02)

NeHimmep
This was the name of a legendary Duros explorer, trader, and starship captain. (SS)

Nehutyc
This Mando'a word translated into Basic as "fiesty" or "gutsy." (OWS)

Nehutyc
This Mandalorian Shaadlar troopship participated in the siege of the planet Taris, during the era of the Mandalorian Wars. When the Mandalorian forces began receiving transmission from Captain Goodvalor of the Galactic Republic, Koblus Sornell and his Mandalorians were ordered to take the Nehutyc to Zongorlu to find out what the Republic was up to on the remote planet. Once in the Zongorlu System, Sornell and his men placed a signal beacon in orbit, then reported on the state of affairs in the system. (OWS)

Nei-Leit, Bagar
This young Jedi Padawan was training at the Jedi Temple on the planet Coruscant, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. During a regular philosophy class, Bagar openly questioned the Jedi Order's restrictions on marriage and attachment, after learning about the splinter group that was led by Master Djinn Altis. (CWNOP)

Neimie
This was a slang term used during the last years of the Old Republic to indicate a member of the Neimoidian race. (RCTZ)

Neimoidia
This planet, located in the Colonies Region, was the homeworld of the Neimoidian race. It was located less than six parsecs from Kuat, a fact that heightened the competition between the two ship-building worlds during the Clone Wars. (IG1, IWE1, SWI68)

Neimoidian
This race of aliens resembled the Duros in many physical respects, having descended from pure Duros stock when a group of colonists settled on Neimoidia around the time the Old Republic was formed, some 25,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. They had smooth, greenish skin and large, red eyes, although the Neimoidian eye had a pupil that split it horizontally. They also had a more developed cranium, which was studded with small knobs and bumps. Their mouths were down-turned, giving them a perpetual frown. On their homeworld of Neimoidia, they lived in communal hives from the time of their birth, but were given limited access to food sources during their seven years of grubhood. This helped weed out the weak individuals at a very early age, as those grubs that can't find food - or steal it - quickly died. This method of raising their young instilled a tremendous sense of greed into the young Neimoidians, but it also forced them to become organizational. Coupled with the fact that the most able Neimoidians left their homeworld to serve with the Trade Federation, the general population of Neimoidia was made up of the weakest of the Neimoidian people. In general, the Niemoidians were entreprenurial, but were also lazy cowards. They developed one of the most advanced droid technologies in the galaxy, and used automatons for everything. They developed droid chairs, droid starships, and entire droid armies. They were also very conscious of rank and position, and used all methods of clothing to describe their status. Elaborate headdresses; the cut, color, and texture of the cloth; and the collars and trim of their clothing all gave specific indications of rank and position. The Neimoidians developed the Trade Federation several decades before the Battle of Naboo, hoping to increase trade to the Outer Rim worlds while maintaining an equitable balance between the poorer worlds of the Rim and their richer, Coreward kin. When the Old Republic began taxing the trade routes between the Core and the Outer Rim, the Neimoidians and the Trade Federation were outraged, but their whining could do little to repeal it. They found an unusual ally in Darth Sidious, but the Sith Lord only used them for his own schemes. In the end, following the Battle of Naboo, the Neimoidians were disgraced on a galactic scale. (E1N, IG1, OWS, COD, EGA)

Neimoidian
This was the name of the language spoken by the Neimoidian people. (WOTC)

Neimoidian Fleet
This was the term used to describe the Neimoidian fleet of transport vessels, during the time before the Trade Federation was overrun by Darth Sidious. (GPB)

Neimoidian Gunnery Battalions
Originally based on the planet Neimoidia, this was one of the many organic military forces that supported the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. They were dispatched to the planet Moorja to protect the agricultural facilities there, after the frequent ion storms rendered droid armies unusable. (SWI76)

Neimoidian Harvester Beetle
This immense, five-meter-long insect was raised by the Neimoidians on their purse-world of Cato Neimoidia. The harvester beetles were bred for their huge jaws and spined carapace: the jaws allowed the beetles to cut down trees and grains, which it then placed on its back. The spines helped to keep the cut trees and plant material atop the beetle as it moved through a grove or field, until the beetle could return to its home and unload it. These creatures moved about on four stout legs, and their flat heads were crowned with a pair of looping antennae. These antennae were used primarily as communication organs, since they exuded and decoded powerful pheromones. Communication was usually done at the hive level, with all individuals taking part in communal activities. The antennae were also used as feelers. Like most hive insects, the harvester beetle had several distinct classes, with the queen at the center of all activity. During the height of the Clone Wars, when the war came to Cato Neimoidia, harvester beetle soldiers were used as infantry against the clone troopers of the Old Republic. (LEV)

Neimoidian Home Defense Legions
This was the collection of military units assigned to protect the planet Neimoidian and its colony worlds, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Interestingly enough, the Neimoidian Home Defense Legions were made up of Neimoidian conscripts, not battle droids. (SWI71, SWDB)

Neimoidian Inner Circle
This was the primary governing body of the Neimoidian people. During the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, the Inner Circle was led by Viceroy Nute Gunray. (COD)

Neimoidian Jakrab
This species of jakrab was one of the few mammalian herbivores that were native to the planet Neimoidia. (YDR)

Neimoidian Shuttle
Resembling a giant, clawed beetle native to Neimoidia, these small transport ships were designed to carry up to five Neimoidians between their freighters and a ground-based installation. These shuttles measured just fifteen meters in length, and were piloted by two droids. Each shuttle was armed with a single blaster cannon. These craft were often referred to as Sheathipede-class shuttles. (SON, NEGV)

Neimoidian Trade Federation
This was a commonly-used term that described the Trade Federation. Many races used this term because the Neimoidian race was at the forefront of the Trade Federation for many years, and it was assumed that the Neimoidians controlled the entire Federation. (RFDV)

Nejet
This was a common name among the Snivvian race. (UANT)

Nejma
This species of Iskalonian was native to the planet Eriscot, and were known among the Iskalonians as the Honored Ones. They were extremely tall and brown-skinned, with orange hair and red eyes. The Nejma were also distinguished by a dorsal fin which ran down their backs. Although the Nejma were considered part of The School, they tended to keep themselves isolated from other Iskalonian races. The Nejma were perhaps best-known for their organic sculptures, which used living coral reefs to form beautiful pieces of art. This artwork, unfortunately, attracted both tourists and thieves, much to the dismay of the Nejma leaders. (EGA, GMR1)

Ne'johaa
This Mando'a command translated into Basic as "Shut up!." (OWS)

Nek
This was the codename of a curly-haired young woman who was a member of the resistance on Samaria, during the early months of the New Order. Nek accompanied Dinko on a mission to meet Ferus Olin, after Olin was instructed by Emperor Palpatine to offer the resistance a chance to cease their operations. When the group agreed to help Ferus ensure that Roshan ambassador Robbyn Sark escaped from Samaria, Nek and Firefolk were both forced to go into hiding, in order to ensure that the resistance was not exposed. (LJ6)

Nek
The nek, also known as the Cyborrean Battle Dog, was a predatory mammal native to the planet Cyborrea. This species of creature was originally bred by the Cyborrean people as a hunting beast, but they eventually became used during the wars which spread across the planet. The average nek stood two meters tall at the shoulder, and was armed with three rows of teeth and sharp claws on its feet. Specially-bred neks such as Battle Dogs were controlled electronically, with implants placed in the nek's brain to receive signals from a remote control device. When used in a hunt or in battle, the augmented nek was accompanied by two beings: the hunter or warrior, and the nek handler. (DE1, DESB, MBC, ANT)

Nek
This was a deity whose name was often taken in vain by the Nikto people. (SWT)

Nek Pup
This was a type of armored gun platform that was developed for use by the Grand Army of the Republic, during the era of the Clone Wars. Each Nek Pup was equipped with two repeating blasters, one mounted on the vehicle's forward section, and another mounted at the rear. (RC66)

NEK-01
This spy droid was employed the Hutts on Nal Hutta, tracking down those individuals who failed to repay their debts or simply angered the Hutts. NEK-01 worked with a team of droids to track down all the beings it was asked to find. A greedy droid, NEK-01 often arranged for his subordinates to be destroyed at the conclusion of their mission, in order to ensure that it did not have to share the Hutts' payments. NEK-01 was dispatched by Sottos the Hutt to bring in Deggar Feps, during the early years of the New Order. A quirk in the programming of NEK-01 - and all other droids given its programming, such as NEK-072 - caused the droid to utter the word "nebula" whenever Deggar feps' name was mentioned. Unfortunately for NEK-01, Feps managed to escape to Nar Shaddaa. NEK-01 then placed additional bounties on the heads of the mercenaries who helped him escape. (WOTC)

NEK-072
Formerly designated R-DP0, this protocol droid had been reprogrammed with NEK-01's personality, during the early years of the New Order, so that it could take orders from NEK-01 and act on them accordingly. NEK-01 remained in control of the protocol droid at all times. NEK-072 was dispatched to coordinate the capture of Deggar Feps, shortly after the scout angered a Hutt crimelord. Unknown to NEK-072, NEK-01 considered it expendable, and would have destroyed it anyway in order to collect the entire fee being paid by the Hutts for Feps' return. However, NEK-072 had also been fitted with a homing beacon, and had been programmed to kill Feps at all costs. NEK-072 hoped to get a bounty hunter to destroy the Lost Lady, after learning that Feps was trying to escape Nal Hutta on the ship, in order to avoid being destroyed. This would allow NEK-072 to collect some of the reward money offered by the Hutts. Unfortunately, NEK-072 was destroyed by the freelance mercenaries who were helping Feps escape. (WOTC)

Neka
This nut tree was native to the planet Druckenwell. The meat of the nut was tasty, and the shells were hard and often used in necklaces. (TFE)

Nelfrus
This planet was located in the Elrood Sector of the galaxy. (FH3)

Nelhal Industries
This small corporation produced photoreceptor lenses for droids, during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (CVD)

Nelik, Larbo
This being was a noted podracer until her death, several years before the Battle of Naboo. She was killed during a race on Tatooine, when she was unable to avoid a pile-up of other racers. Her podracer crashed into the tangle of vehicles, and Larbo Nelik was thrown from her racer in the impact. Her body hit a safety barrier and was badly crushed, and she suffered numerous internal injuries. One of the racers who survived the pile-up was young Anakin Skywalker, who was unable to lend any assistance as Nelik died on the racecourse before rescuers could arrive. (CWWS)

Nelinik

This ancient group of pirates was based on the planet Voon until they took control of the Hyabb-Twith Corridor, nearly 1,000 years after the Great Sith War. They preyed upon the ongoing feud between the governments of Hyabb and Twith, and eventually the Marauders established a base on Dachat. The Old Republic demanded that the Jedi Knights step in and remove the Nelroni threat. In what became known as the Hyabb-Twith Campaigns, the Jedi eventually rooted the Nelroni out of their bases on Voon and Dachat.

Nelvaan
This planet was the primary world in the Koobi System, which was located some thirteen parsecs from Tythe. Note that Labyrinth of Evil indicates that the planet is part of the Nelvaan System. The planet's location in the Outer Rim kept it free of the influences of the Old Republic, although several Bothan freighters made regular runs to Nelvaan to acquire the pure water that flowed from glacial runoffs. When the Old Republic's forces nearly captured Count Dooku on Tythe, during the final stages of the Clone Wars, many Separatist ships jumped from Tythe to Nelvaan to escape the battle. This was mainly a ruse, since the ships only briefly remained at Nelvaan before jumping to a nearby location and then to Coruscant, where they assisted General Grievous' forces in the First Battle of Coruscant. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were dispatched to Nelvaan to investigate, and discovered the Nelvaanians - a race of feline beings which appeared to be made up of only females and children. The males had been captured and twisted by the Separatists as part of an experiment for creating their own organic army. Anakin, in a trial ordered by the natives and decreed by Obi-Wan to be his final test, destroyed the Separatist facility and freed the males. (LEV, CWC3, OWS, SWDB)

Nelvaan

Nelvaanian
This feline race of beings was native to the planet Nelvaan. At the time of the Clone Wars, the Nelvaanians were a simple people, living in small tribes without any thought of planetary government and the galaxy at large. Also known as Nelvaans, these beings distinguished by their greenish-fur and jet-black eyes, and their fearsome appearance belied a deeply spiritual nature.

Much of their tribal tradition was based on the family unit, which was based on an extended collection of blood relatives and closely-related acquaintances. Although the males of the family unit were the warriors and scouts, the females were the most important members of the group. They were the builders and gatherers, as well as being responsible for raising the Nelvaanian youth of the family.

Each tribe was led by a shaman, who could be either male or female, and their chosen mate. The shaman was believed to have been chosen by the Great Mother to ascend to his or her position, eliminating any form of competition.

During the Clone Wars, the Nelvaanians believed that they had encountered the individual known as the holt kazet, or Ghost Hand. Legend held that this individual would arrive on Nelvaan in a time of great need, and help the Nelvaanians regain their freedom. The appearance of Anakin Skywalker led many Nelvaanians to believe he was the holt kazet, a belief that was only strengthened when he passed all the tests of a local shaman before rescuing the tribe's males from a Separatist laboratory. (OWS, SWDB, NEGA)

(KOTOR)

Nemonus
This Nautolan appeared on Ord Cestus, bringing news from Count Dooku to the Five Families during the height of the Clone Wars. Nemonus was known for a number of crimes in which he held innocent people hostage to obtain what he wanted, trading blood for credits. In reality, Nemonus was Jedi Master Kit Fisto, who tried to frighten the Families into joining the Old Republic during the war. Nemonus claimed that Dooku was greatly upset at the Families' attempt to raise the prices of their JK-series droids, and that Dooku feared the Families could no longer be trusted. In order to force their hands, Nemonus managed to kidnap several prominent members of the Five Families, and held them in a speeder deep in the tunnels below ChikatLik. The plan was to make the Five Families believe that Count Dooku had betrayed them, then to have Obi-Wan Kenobi "rescue" the leaders as a way to lure the Five Families into siding with the Republic. In a carefully staged fight, Obi-Wan was able to drive Nemonus off, thereby saving the Family members from harm. Unfortunately, while the entire incident did convince the Five Families to briefly side with the Republic, the entire incident was recorded by Asajj Ventress. The Dark Jedi then provided a tape of the incident to the Five Families, showing that the entire kidnapping was a farce. (TCD)

This man was considered one of the galaxy's foremost gerontologists, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Doctor Nenilin was approached by Kal Skirata during the height of the Clone Wars, and offered a chance to help pore through the genetic data Skirata and his clone commandos had uncovered. Skirata, using the alias Falin, hoped that Dr. Nenilin would be able to piece together the genetic puzzle behind the rapid aging of the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, and give the clones a chance to live out normal lives. Nenilin was skeptical of Skirata's interest in aging, but was amazed at the amount of knowledge Skirata had on the subject. Nenilin might have refused Skirata's offer, had Skirata not shown him bits and pieces of the genetic information he had acquired from across the galaxy in search of a way to reverse a clone's aging process. After making sure that Skirata and his comrades weren't planning to create clones, but alter them, Nenilin agreed to investigate the genetics and locate a solution. However, he demanded that Skirata allow him to use the research he did to for his own further study, claiming that he would keep the source of the genetic data a secret. Nenilin was pleasantly surprised when Skirata agreed, and then paid him a huge sum of credits to get started on his research. Despite his new income, Nenilin was unable to provide Skirata and Mij Gilamar with any breakthroughs, although he managed to give them some new insights into the genetics of clone aging. He did, however, recognize that the information provided by Falin was of strategic importance to the Republic, and Nenilin eventually reported its existence to Chancellor Palpatine himself. Nenilin hoped that, by turning over the information, he would be able to use his research to win the Republic Science Accolade. However, he disappeared shortly after contacting Palpatine, and was not seen again. (RC66)

This suit of armor was equipped with a helmet, boots and gauntlets that could be sealed to protect the wearer from hostile environments, and allowed the wearer to survive for up to twenty-four hours. Like the Neo-Crusader Battle Armor, this assault armor was equipped with a jetpack, but the additional weight from the ablative plating prohibited any extended flight capabilities. (WOTC)

Neo-Crusader Battle Armor
This upgraded version of the standard Mandalorian Combat Armor was noted for its helmet, gauntlets, and boots.

Neo-Crusaders
This was the name given to the first groups of beings who were recruited by the ancient Mandalorian Crusaders to join their ranks and fight alongside them in the Great Last Battle, several years after the Great Sith War. The Neo-Crusaders of the Neo-Crusaders grew rapidly as the Mandalorian Wars engulfed the galaxy. They became what many modern military experts consider the Mandalorian shock troopers, a collection of beings from disparate races and backgrounds who banded together under the tenets of the ancient Mandalorians. The armor worn by the Neo-Crusaders was created to be similar in appearance, as suggested by Cassus Fett, so that there was a commonality among the Mandalorians who joined the Neo-Crusaders. As Fett explained to the current Mandalore, common armor would help eliminate the desire for beings like Rohlan Dyre to preve themselves as individuals, and help bring order to the growing number of Mandalorians.

This new armor was much bulkier than that of their predecessors, but was designed to withstand blaster fire and to identify the wearer as a Neo-Crusader. This armor was not studded with weaponry, but was efficient and functional. Individual Neo-Crusaders painted their armor as they wished, allowing for a variety of color schemes. It was the Neo-Crusader armor that later became the design basis for the Old Republic's Senate Guards. (SWI80, NECH, KOR6)

Sprax's agents made contact with Neoman, and he was soon on the payroll of Black Sun, providing valuable information on Streeg's plans for the Sisar Run in return for credits and pieces of art. It was Neoman and his small fleet who captured Morturr Heth and the surviving Disac pirates when they attempted to hijack the Destination: Adventure! shortly before the Battle of Endor. (SSR)

Neona
This was one of the strongest planets of the Freeworlds Region of Tapani Sector, during the height of the New Order. It was covered with oceans, and the sea bed was rich in natural ores. It was originally scouted by Hanson Mining Consolidated, several hundred years before the Battle of Endor. The settlers of the planet established huge, floating cities from which they launched mining operations. Excavation of the planet's solid surface had revealed that a sentient civilization once existed on the planet, but was slowly swallowed up by the rising ocean levels during a warm period which melted the polar ice caps. The ocean floor was littered with the ruins of their cities. (PGT, LOE)

He joined the fledgling New Republic after Sullust began moving toward a relationship with them, and found the galaxy much to his liking. He was particularly interested in the various musical styles of the galaxy, although his taste in music often got on his fellow Rogues' nerves. When the Rogues were dispatched to search for the Starfaring near Malrev, Dllr began hearing the most beautiful music coming from the planet. He thought the music was a product of the planet, and could even see the music in front of him. However, the music was actually the power of the Dark Side of the Force being channelled by the mad Devaronian, Cartariun. Cartariun used the Dark Side to lure Dllr to his temple, where Cartariun began channeling more energy with Dllr's belief in the music. Dllr was mentally linked to Herian I'ngre by this music, which both had heard. However, Herian recognized the Dark Side before she could be overtaken. She willed Dllr to resist, which he was able to to for a short time. However, in the end, Dllr gave himself as the ultimate sacrifice. He absorbed the Sith energy wielded by Cartariun and tried to turn it against the Devaronian, but was shot in the back by Girvo Dza'tey. Later, having survived the blast, Dllr helped Herian to safety. However, both sacrificed themselves in eliminating Cartariun, flying Herian's X-Wing into his temple and destroying it.

Nereus, Wilek
A native of OrulShai III, Nereus hoped to one day take over the Imperial governorship of Gyosha. However, due to a bureaucratic error, he was instead named Imperial governor in charge of the Bakura system. Despite a long series of protested and petitions launched by Nereus himself, the error was never corrected and Nereus remained on Bakura. His arrival at Bakura was delayed due to these proceedings, as well as several public riots, forcing Captain Alecs Brellar to serve as interim Governor until Nereus was finally forced to drop his appeal.

Fearing that he had angered a superior, Nereus ruled the system via the tenets of the Tarkin Doctrine, using the fear of reprisal to keep the locals in line. He also authored a report to Emperor Palpatine himself, detailing the need to completely subjugate the Outer Rim Territories, but there was never a response.

Nerf
The nerf was a species of large, shaggy pack animal that was raised as a source of meat, fur, hide, and other consumables. Originally native to the planet Alderaan, these rangy creatures had four curved horns that crowned their heads. The nerf was best-known for its ornery disposition. They also tended to spit quite often, which only added to their generally disgusting image.

Their muscular bodies were lean and supple, and were protected by a thick coat of fur. This long fur matted and tangled easily, creating a mass of hair that collected everything it touched. Thus, a nerf carried a strong odor around with it. The fur of the nerf was often carded into wool, for use in making warm jackets and leggings. Nerfs were also hardy creatures that could adapt to a variety of climates. This made raising them on other planets quite easy, ensuring that the species survived the destruction of their homeworld.

The shepherds that raised nerfs - referred to simply as nerf herders - were looked upon as lesser members of society, but when they brought their meat to market, they lived like kings. Because most nerf herders lived in the fields with their beasts, they were known as a scruffy-looking lot who smelled almost as bad as the nerfs they tended. Because they lived in such close contact with their nerfs, most nerf herders lost their sense of smell over time. While the clothing of a nerf herder took on some of the odor of the beasts, the worst part of a nerf herder's odor came from the spit that sometimes covered their clothes.

As a rule, the males of the species were larger than the females, with more pronounced horns and a meaner temper. They also tended to fight amongst themselves as well as against their herders. Thus, males were often separated from the rest of the herd on farms, to keep them from causing trouble.

Nerfs could see quite well at night, allowing them to discern nocturnal predators.

Because nerfs were among the most profitable herd animals in the galaxy, they were exported from Alderaan and bred to exist on a number of different worlds, most of them in the Mid Rim. The nerfs found on the planet Grizmallt was distinguished by its thinner body. (E5, JS, ISU, TPS, WOTC, UA, NEGA, SWDB)

Nerf Bait
This was spacer's slang for any form of phony lock or security system installed on a starship, which was booby-trapped by the owner in order to catch shipjackers. (SWJ13)

Nerf Mince
This was a chopped-meat produce that was produced by grinding nerf meat into small pieces. There were varying grades of nerf mince, depending on which cuts of meat were used in its production. (CWNOP)

Nerf Patty
This was a form of meat patty that was made from ground nerf steak. (CWWS)

Nerf Sausage
This form of sausage was filled with the meat and fat from a nerf, along with spices and other additives that gave nerf sausage its distinctive flavor and aroma. (JB)

Nerf Steak Stew
This prepared meal was made from the cheaper cuts of nerf meat, which was then stewed with vegetables and packaged in serving-sized cans. This allowed the stew to be transported for months aboard starships or in camping supplies. (LF4)

Nerfburger
This was a form of hot sandwich made from ground nerf meat. (TG)

Nerf-headed
This was a phrase used to describe any being who was mentally slow or dim-witted, or was too close-minded to consider new possibilities. (FJ3)

Nerfspread
This was a processed form of nerf meat, which was shelf-stable and had a long shelf-life. This made it useful for storage and consumption on starships. (DN1)

Nerfworks
This was the name used to describe Shipyard Lab 6671-X42, a joint venture to produce droid starships by the Corellian Engineering Corporation and the Loronar Corporation. It was known as the Nerfworks because the employees who worked there came to feel that they "smelled too bad" to warrant a visit from corporate executives, as well as any real funding for their research. (GMR10)

Nergon-14
This was an unstable, highly-explosive element used in Imperial proton torpedoes. It was blue in color when inert, and changed to red, then white, when it exploded. It was originally mined on Tyne's Horky by Kreb Zellock, who planned to make his fortune by selling it to the highest bidder. (DCAR)

Ner'ika
This was Kal Skirata's affectionate nickname for the clone commando known as Niner. (RC66)

Nerinit
Meaning "little clown", this was a common female name among the Mon Calamari race. (GCG)

Neris
This man was an Imperial sub-prefect during the rise to power of Emperor Palpatine's clones on Byss. An administrator of the Governor's office on Korbin, Neris succeeded Bergless as the sub-prefect, but was no less adamant about eliminating crime. Like Bergless, this cost Neris his life, when he told Gornt Seron that crime wasn't going to be tolerated by the Imperial remnant on the planet. Seron promptly pushed Neris out a small trap door in the floor of his office, and Neris fell some 500 meters to his death. (GG11)

Nerit
This was one of two moons which orbited the planet Ossus. The gravity on this temperate world was 125 percent of standard, although this was tolerated by the Neti clan that settled the moon. (TOJC, GORW)

Nermani, Ashii
This beautiful woman was considered Imperial HoloVisions's most popular newscaster around the time of the Battle of Yavin. She was the first to break the story that Venslas Beeli had become a privateer working for the Alliance. The newsfeed article was part of a plot to draw Captain Dhas Vedij and the Far Orbit into a trap laid by the Empire. She also broke the story of the capture of Coh Veshiv, although her report claimed that he had been killed in a space accident. (FOP)

Nern
This was the fourteenth symbol in the Aurebesh script, and represents the Basic letter "n". (SWM)

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

Nerra
This Twi'lek word meant "brother" when translated into Basic. (CWTV20)

Nerran, Jev
This young boy was a childhood friend of Ryoo and Pooja Naberrie. (SWDB)

Nerrian
This was an alien race. (CWN)

Nerrif
see GAR Station Nerrif (RC66)

Nerris, Delt
This man was part of a taskforce put together by the Corellian Security Force and the Empire, and was assigned to be the pilot of the Lantillian Short Hauler known as the Nova Whisper. Delt was also an Alliance sympathizer, and he hijacked the ship in order to turn it over to the Alliance on Asher III. (SS)

Nerrowr
This Wookiee male lived in the city of Gadin, on Cularin, during the last decades of the Old Republic. He often worked with a trio of Rodian females named Nesha, Besha, and Kesha, when he was employed by the former crimelord, Riboga the Hutt. (LFCW)

Nert
This Kitonak name was common across Kirdo III. (UANT)

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

Nerve Amplifier Belt
This ancient device, created during the decades leading up to the Great Sith War, was used to monitor the brain activity of its wearer. These belts were originally created to retrain or alter the inherent "programming" of an individual being, and was known for its uncomfortable fit. The belt generated energy waves to help reinforce certain patterns of activity, thereby establishing a certain kind of behavior in the wearer. The belt could also be used to block any outside influence on an individual's brain. (KOTOR)

Nerve Disruptor
An expensive piece of torture equipment, the nerve disruptor used a variety of injection methods to deliver drugs and serums into the body of a being under interrogation. The drugs then disrupted the normal activities of the being's nervous system, allowing the interrogator to gather more information. The nerve disruptor was equipped with a droid brain that monitored the being's vital signs, allowing the disruptor to adjust the dosage of drugs as necessary to keep the being alive during interrogation. (TME, NEGW)

Nerve Pinch
A defensive technique used to immobilize and adversary. (CSW)

Nerve Probe
Originally designed for medical purposes, the nerve probe proved to be an exceptional interrogation tool. It was used to isolate and test the activity of a nerve cell, but could be calibrated so that it caused intense pain, rather than simply jump-starting a nerve. (DN3)

Nerve Rack
This was another name for a scan grid, although it was usually used only when the scan grid was used as a torture device. (LCF)

Nervestick
This was a chewable stimulant that was popular among the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. It became popular again, decades later, among the members of the Galactic Alliance Guard. (TCD, LF5)

Nervous Nuna
This was a starship combat tactic in which two opposing ships made strafing runs at each other, coming closer and closer each time until one pilot got scared and broke off their run, allowing the other ship to fire at their engines as they turned. (CWN)

Nes, Yraka
This female Wookiee worked as the medical doctor of the Wookiees of the Myyydril Cavern, after they began contracting the Poltur Virus. She spent many months isolating the virus and locating a cure, but her natural remedies required several rare plants that required extensive journeys to harvest. This meant that she had to hire other beings to locate them, while she tended to the other Wookiees. One of the things Yraka Nes found to be effective was a blanket made from the filaments exuded by webweavers. She also made luilris mushroom pies to keep up the health and spirits of her patients. (SWGAL)

NESDF-456
Located atop an arid plateau which rarely received any rain, this Imperial facility was found on the planet Sirpar during the height of the Galactic Civil War. A Nonessential Equipment Storage and Disposal Facility, NESDF-456 took in all the scrap and surplus from the Imperial training facilities on Sirpar and either recycled it or disposed of it. (SWJ2)

Nesdin
The human pilot of the Jade's Fire. He disappeared in the first days of the Corellian revolts surrounding the Starbuster plot. (AC, SC)

Nesha
This Rodian and two of her friends - Besha and Kesha, all unrelated - worked with the Wookiee known as Nerrowr whenever he was on Tolea Biqua, on the planet Genarius, during the height of the Clone Wars. Together, the group was once employed by Riboga the Hutt. (LFCW)

Neshtab
A planet. (SWMW)

Neshtovar
This was the name given to those Keshiri who were bonded to an uvak, during the centuries leading up to the era of the Great Hyperspace War and the arrival of the Sith transport vessel Omen. The members of the Neshtovar were considered the Sons of the Skyborn, and we afforded great rank and privilege among the Keshiri. The villages that were scattered across the islands that formed the planet's land masses had no communications technology, and the Neshtovar became the primary means of communication between distant locations. (LTS2)

Neshtovari
This was the title used to describe any Keshiri who was a member of the Neshtovar. Each Neshtovari was bonded to an uvak, and served as a leader within their local village. In the earlier history of the Keshiri, whenever a Neshtovari died, their entire family was killed. This practice was halted over time, when both the Keshiri and uvak populations began to drop. The Neshtovar agreed that the tradition should be stopped, so that their villages could remain viable, and the surviving family members could then care for the riderless uvak so that it could be used for breeding. (LTS2)

Neska
This city was located on the planet Haurgab. The Grand Army of the Republic was allowed to set up a small operations base near Neska, during the height of the Clone Wars, in support of the primary operations at Hadde Base. (RC66)

Neskroff
This was the capital city of the planet Isis. It was located atop a huge, crystal mesa. The planet's main spaceport was located in a bowl-shaped depression in the middle of the city. (IC)

Nesloor, Odin
This man's entire family was lost when their starship made a routine jump into hyperspace, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. He spent the rest of his life trying to find them, following a lead which led him to the planet Tatooine during the Boonta Eve Classic podrace won by Anakin Skywalker. (CCG13)

Nespis VIII
This planet was located near the Cron Drift, in the Auril System. A sprawling space city orbitted the planet, which had been developed millennia ago by the Jedi Knights as a place where politics and bureaucracy had no place. It was here Luke Skywalker first met Kam Solusar, in the wake of the Galactic Civil War. In the ancient days, scientists and scholars would come to the station to debate and explore without concern for which side actually owned the discoveries. The station eventually became so big that it had its own interior weather patterns. The Nespis VIII station reached the height of its growth just before the Great Sith War, although much of the spaceport was abandoned after the Clone Wars, and the city became a drifting derelict. Rumors spread about the existence of a vast, ancient, Jedi library somewhere on the station, and even the very existence of the station was considered a legend until shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The library supposedly contained volumes which contained all the knowledge of the galaxy. As rumors of the library spread, treasure hunters flew to the station to recover some of the ancient tomes. In this supposedly abandoned location, Borborygmus Gog developed his Nightmare Machine, in an effort to pry a person's deepest fears from their minds and turn them against them. He used the legends of the Jedi library to attract minds, hoping one day to capture a being who was strong with the Force. When the reborn Emperor Palpatine destroyed the New Republic's Pinnacle Base, the Republic's leaders fled to Nespis VIII to regroup. It was at this time that Anakin Solo was born on the space station city. The location of the base was betrayed by a spy, and the Emperor fired his Galaxy Gun at it. However, the projectile did not explode upon impact, and Nespis VIII was spared for some time. The Republic was able to evacuate the space city before a second projectile was launched. This one exploded as planned, completely destroying the Nespis VIII spaceport. (DE1, DE2, EE, GOF4, GOF5, NECH)

Nessem
This planet, located in the Expansion Region, was known during the early years of the New Order for the orbiting Nessem Shipyards. (WOA12)

Nessem Shipyards
This starship manufacturer maintained an orbital space station as its base of operations, located near the planet Nessem. Because most of the workers at the Shipyards put in long hours, the orbital facilities were enhanced to include residential sections that appeared like small towns. (WOA12)

Nessemite
This was the name adopted by the humans native to the planet Nessem. They were known for their incredible craftsmanship, and were also apolitical in their nature. They sold their ships and services to any being with the credits to afford them, and they regularly invited offworlders to Nessem for conferences. (WOA12)

Nessie
A nickname applied to the inhabitants of the Stenness system. (DE1)

Nessin
This was the alias used by Kal Skirata when he arrived at the Tropix Island Resort, during his search for Ko Sai. Nessin was ostensibly on Dorumaa for the rifi fishing, which helped covered Skirata's use of the Aay'han as both a starship and ocean-going submersible. (RCTC)

Nesst-class Light Freighter
Produced by SoroSuub, the Nesst-class freighter measured 29 meters in length. It resembled a pair of long cargo pods connected along a central axis. A triangular cockpit sits at the front, and twin engine pods take up the aft section. SoroSuub developed the Nesst-class to appeal to the independent spacer and to appease the Empire. It was given a large, 150 metric ton cargo area, but was unarmed and underpowered in order to avoid Imperial entanglements. (WBC, PP)

Nest
This slang term was used by Alliance starfighter pilots to describe an Imperial ground base or garrison that was the base of operatoins for a TIE fighter squadron. (AIR)

Nest Blessing
This was a quasi-secret form of greeting used by members of the Nediji race. The blessing itself was quite simple - "Fly free, fly straight, Brother of the Air" - but was virtually unknown on non-Nediji. (MBS)

Nest Leader
This was the title of the male Arcona who was chosen by popular vote to rule a Grand Nest. (GG4)

Nest Leader
This title, which was given to those Geelan who led the individual city-like nests, was derived from a similar Arconan title. Each of the Nest Leaders answered directly to the Geeloniran, or the great Geel. (AE)

Nest Ship
This was the term used by the naval forces of the Galactic Alliance to describe the massive transport vessels produced by the Killik hives of the Colony, which were used to move entire nests from one location to another. Each nest ship was a self-contained environment, allowing a hive to live a somewhat normal existence while traveling from one location to another. During the height of the Swarm War, UnuThul planned to use nest ships to transport huge numbers of Killik soldiers to worlds within the Galactic Alliance, but the ships were trapped by the Galactic Alliance Defense Force within the Utegetu Nebula. (DN3)

Nest, The
This was the name given to the command center of the space station known as The Rig, during the height of the Clone Wars. (RSF)

Nestclan
This was the basic unit of Shashay society. (TA)

Nest-fellow
This was the Basic term used to describe members of the same hive of the Colony. (DN2)

Nesting Rag
This was a form of thick cloth that was used to form a makeshift bed. (DN2)

These Avogwi who do not have their own eyries in the arid cliffs of Altor 14 occupy the lowest rung in Avogwi society. (GG4)

Nestmother
This was the name used by the Shashay to indicate the rulers of their planet, Crytal Nest. The Nestmothers make all of the decisions which affect the Shashay society. (TA)

Netaluma Tower
This massive building was located on the planet Coruscant, during the height of the New Order. It was managed by the family of Celot Ratua Dil. (DSTR)

Netassa
This was the capital city of the planet Salliche. (CRO)

Netbers
This surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG)

Netbers, Radaf
This former Imperial Captain served under Warlord Zsinj during the period following the Battle of Endor and the breakup of the Empire. A native of the planet Broest, he was an expert in hand-to-hand combat, and was requested to test the Hawk-bats' skills in this area before the assault on Kuat. In a brief melee, Qatya Nassin - the alias used by Shalla Nelprin - broke his nose and quickly incapacitated him. It wasn't the first time his nose had been broken, and Netbers considered it another battle scar. He was assigned to the security force left behind at Binring Biomedical, after Zsinj abandoned it and brought the labs aboard the Iron Fist, and nearly captured Wraith Squadron on Saffalore. However, Hohass Ekwesh caught and managed to break his right shoulder and his neck by swinging Netbers against a wall. (IF, SOC)

Netcaster
This predatory arachnid lived in the forests of Kashyyyk, trapping daubirds with an elaborate net. The average netcaster grew to a length of 75 centimeters, but it used a highly-toxic venom to kill its prey and defend itself from larger predators. (TT, GMR4)

Netdroid
This was the term used to describe any data-access droid that was programmed to access the HoloNet and search for data based on the parameters supplier by a user. The programming installed in netdroids allowed them to access and sort through huge amounts of information to identify content that conformed to the search parameters. (CN1)

Neth
This Em'liy was distinguished in the history of the planet Shalyvane. (UANT)

Neth, Karie
This woman served as a gunner with the Alliance's Starfighter Command. She was one of the members of Rogue Squadron. Shortly before the Battle of Endor, she replaced a Bothan gunner who was lost during the mission to recover the plans to the second Death Star. She flew with Gray Two during the battle. (CCG11)

Nethathanin, Parto
This man served as a crewman aboard the scout ship Bright Seeker. (TSIA)

Nether Ice
This was the name used by Socorran native to describe the ice they "mined" from the planet Neftali. Because of the mineral concentration within the frozen water, nether ice remained in a frozen state for many months in even the warmest conditions, and was used by Socorran pilots to cool their starship engine drives. Small pieces of nether ice have also been carved into jewelry. (BSS)

Nethermost Abyss
This was the Askajian name for the deepest regions of evil found within the planet Askaj. (TJP)

Nethius
This likeable man served as the entire "security force" aboard Darknon Station, at the height of the New Order. Nethius was also in charge of customs, although there was rarely a problem while he was on duty. However, Nethius was more than a security officer. He was also a Sergeant in the Imperial armed forces, and was stationed on Darknon Station in order to protect the location of a secret research facility hidden within the Itani Nebula. He also monitored the activities and communications of the spacers who visited Darknon Station, hoping to find a lead on the Alliance's activity in the area. (PSPG)

Neti
This unusual language was spoken by the Neti, or Ryyk. (PJSB)

Neti
This race of tree-like beings descended from the planet Ryyk,although it was believed that they first evolved on the Myrkr. For many years, the Neti were also referred to as the Ryyk, which only served to confuse their actual heritage. Xenoarchaeologists of the New Republic believe that the alternate name of "Ryyk" was actually a reference to the original homeworld of the Neti, and not a reference to a distinct species. This information was pieced together from the Jedi Holocron of Bodo Baas. The ancient Jedi Masters Ood Bnar and Garnoo were Neti, as was T'ra Saa. As a people, the Neti were intelligent plants, reproducing by creating a few seeds every century. They survived by gathering food through photosynthesis, and could change their shape, size, or appearance almost at will. Most Neti were capable of three distinct forms: as a solid tree, as a humanoid, or as a quadripedal creature. Each of these forms provided certains levels of mobility and strength, and the Neti could adapt its shape to meet the needs of its surrounding environment. It was believed that Ood Bnar was the only surviving member of the species, being offworld when the planet Ryyk was destroyed, until T'ra Saa was discovered by the Jedi many centuries before the Clone Wars. (DE2, EGP, EGA, PJSB, WOTC)

Net'lseb Toli Park
This wooded park was built by the Fia on the outskirts of Gal'fian'deprisi City, on their homeworld of Galantos. Like the city, Net'lseb Toli Park was located in the midst of the Gar'glum Sea. It differed from the city in that it was situated completely atop the gelatinous sea. The Park was noted for its wide variety of exotic plants and fragile wildlife. (EGP, CCW)

Netnoo ee goop-tah, Jee onko mee yuzi heeta hutah
This Ewok phrase, heard during many a dinner conversation on the Forest Moon of Endor, translated into Basic as "No thank you, please, I can't swallow another bark lizard." (GPB)

Netolio System
This Tapani Sector star system was part of the holdings of House Calipsa during the New Order. It was seized from House Pelagia, after Pelagia was virtually exterminated by House Mecetti. (LOE)

Ne'tra
This Mando'a word referred to the color black. (OWS)

Ne'tra Gal
This was an alternative spelling of the Mandalorian word net'ra gal, which described a black ale that was popular on the planet Mandalore. (LF8)

Net'ra Gal
This was a form of sticky, sweet, black ale that was favored by the modern Mandalorians. Net'ra gal was sweeter than most ales, and was similar in texture and taste to a porter or stout. (SWI86, LF8)

Nett, Theron
This smuggler, a native of Ord Mantell, joined the Alliance shortly before the Battle of Yavin. He became one the Alliance's best X-Wing pilots, serving as Garven Dreis' wingman. Nett flew as Red Ten during the Battle of Yavin, and perishing trying to protect Dreis during their assault on the first Death Star. (CCG9)

Netta
This was the sixth planet in the Obas System. (IA)

Nettar
This herd herbivore was native to Dantooine. (COG)

Nettic, Calder
This man lived on the planet Dantooine some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. He was murdered by Handon Guld and Rickard Lusoff, after Handon discovered that Calder was having an affair with his wife. (KOTOR)

Netting Beetle
Also known as lav peq, these insects were bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong to fly around an area and exude an organic netting. When released in swarms, netting beetles formed a dense network of fibers that stuck to anything it touched, creating the netting as a by-product of their feeding. The first wave of beetles strung their fibers between trees and bushes, while successive waves fed on whatever they found in order to replenish the netting. Using these creatures, Yuuzhan Vong warriors could capture a fugitive or enemy without actually knowing where they are. Many times, the netting beetles fed on the flesh of the enemy, using the cells in the formation of the netting, but this was rarely fatal to the captured individual. Once a target had been captured, the grub-like insects began to reel themselves back along the fibers, drawing the captured prey back to the attacker. A speciallized form of netting beetles was used on prison worlds such as Selvaris, with enough rudimentary intelligence to accept minimal training. This allowed the Selvaris netting beetles to fly in coordinated patterns, crisscrossing their webs to weave a much stronger web. (EVC, FH3, UF)

Netus
An ancient, squid-headed Defense Minister of the Old Republic, Netus was on Coruscant during the Great Sith War. Prior to his governmental service, Netus served for 5 years in the rocket-jumper corps. His found that he preferred politics, and spent the next twenty years serving the Old Republic before the Sith War broke out. (TSW, TOJC)

Neufie
This was the nickname used by Jacen Solo to describe the R9-series astromech droid that was assigned to his StealthX starfighter, during the height of the Swarm War. (DN3)

Neural Band
Developed shortly after the Great Sith War, this device wrapped around the skull like an intefrace band. Instead of providing computer access, however, the neural band augmented the willpower of the wearer by electrically reinforcing established mental patterns. The troopers of the Old Republic referred to this device as the "Little Shocky". (KOTOR)

Neural Collar
This device, developed by Cybersoft Corporation, was used to control large creatures in zoos and universities. When placed around an animal's neck, the collar could receive signals from a remote control unit, allowing the animal handler to control a dangerous beast through verbal or electronic signals. Many slavers used modified versions of the neural collar to control slaves, although this practice was outlawed in the Core Worlds. (GFT)

Neural Interface Device
This device was developed by the Empire during the early years of the New Order, as a way to give a starfighter pilot direct control over their ships. The neural interface device was wired into the ship's computer systems, and four wires connected the device to the pilot's skull. Two wires were attached at the temples, while two were attached just below the ears. By using this system, Imperial researchers hoped to give pilots a direct, mental link to their ships, allowing the pilot to control their ship with their thoughts.

Research on the neural interface device was halted when the Imperial Research and Development vessel that was transporting the prototypes w as lost in space. The derelict vessel was later discovered by Glah Ubooki and his brothers, who tried to figure out who to sell the devices on the open market. They learned that only the most disciplined beings could handle the neural interface to their ship's computers, because the computer systems were handling millions of operations and data points at any given time. The devices were therefore useful for starfighters and small freighters, but were impractical for use on larger starships. (SWJ1, OWS)

Neural Network
This was the specialized network of nerve-like electronic circuits that made up the "brain" of higher-intelligence droids. While most labor droids could be programmed in their firmware, protocol droids and medical droids needed to be able to process incoming information and react to it as if they were organic beings. The neural network allowed a droid to process huge amounts of incoming data and act on it. (CN1)

Neural Pacifier
This ancient weapon was produced for use by battle droids. Similar in many respects to the ion weapons used against droids, the neural pacifier caused temporary disruption to the nervous system of many biological lifeforms. These weapons were outlawed during the years following the Great Sith War. (KOTOR2)

Neural Scrambler
More powerful than a neural pacifier, this ancient weapon was produced for use by battle droids. Similar in many respects to the ion weapons used against droids, the neural scrambler used cohesive energy to overload the nervous system of many biological lifeforms, rendering them unconsciousness. These weapons were outlawed during the years following the Great Sith War. (KOTOR2)

Neural Stinger
This ancient weapon was similar in many respects to a force pike. Resembling a long staff with a glass-like section at one end, the neural stinger could be used as a two-handed cudgel when powered down. When activated, however, the glass end lit up with an intense, blue glow. This section of the weapon earned the staff its name, as it delivered a powerful shock to the nerves of the flesh it came into contact with. This jolt of power essentially shorted out the nerves in the affected area, deadening the muscles for up to an hour. (KOR1)

Neural Storm
This telepathic ability involved using psychic energy to overload a victim's neural network, causing extreme but momentary disorientation. (UANT)

Neural Stunner
This form of weapon was used by the minions of Lord Shadowspawn to render another being incapacitated by sending an electric shock through the being's nervous system, rendering them temporarily unable to move. These weapons also affected the meltmassif stone that made up part of the crust of the planet Mindor, since it incapacitated the energy-based beings who inhabited the stone's crystalline matrix. (LSSM)

Neural-net Eraser
This device was developed during the Clone Wars, as a defense against rogue or runaway droids. When fired at a droid, the neural-net eraser destroyed the software and delicate circuitry that controlled the droid's ability to move and react. Neural-net erasers became popular during the Clone Wars, when many beings feared being attacked or captured by the droid armies of the Separatists. (YDR)

Neuralstim Booth
This virtual-reality game was popular in arcades and funfairs during the final years of the Old Republic. Players were immersed in a world where they were made entirely of machinery, experiencing the sensations of metallic components, electrical circuits, and engine and drive systems. (CN2)

Neuranium
This was one of the heaviest, densest metals found in the galaxy. Some gravity-sensitive species claimed to be able to feel a small warping of the space-time fabric of gravity when close to a large piece of neuranium. Among its most useful properties was the fact that even a millimeter-thick piece of neuranium was impervious to sensors. Although this might have been a boon to smugglers and other criminals, the weight of enough neuranium to protect a hidden item or to line a cargo hold would have been prohibitively heavy.

Neuranium was ofen used as the shielding layer for proton bombs and other exceptionally dangerous explosives. (VD3, E3N, CCS)

Neuritic Carbide
This was a deadly, gaseous chemical. (SWI65)

Neurix Tube
This thick tube was used to transfer nutrient fluids from a central reservoir to a prosthesis or canister in which a brain or other cognitive organ was kept during surgery. The B'omarr Monks made widespread use of neurix tubes, connecting them to the body of a BT-19 perimeter droid in order to pass vital fluids over the brain of a disembodied and enlightened monk. (CVD)

Neurochemical Assay
This medical testing device was developed during the final years of the Old Republic. The neurochemical assay was created to determine the state of the various chemicals and compounds that were present in an individual's brain, allowing doctors to determine what treatment might be necessary in cases of head trauma or mental illness. These devices were considered to be state-of-the-art during the Clone Wars, but didn't see widespread use until after the formation of the Galactic Empire. (RC66)

Neurodan
This was a form of anesthetic drug that was developed during the final decades of the Old Republic. It was milder than effitol, and allowed a patient to maintain a more normal breathing rhythm. (SWI83)

Neurodium
This element was known its ability to exist as a liquified gas at a relatively low temperature, at which it to be used as a fuel for plasma weapons. A greenish material, neurodium gas was used to create the plasma that was the primary energy delivered by the FlakBlaster Ten artillery weapon. (LF9)

Neuroengine
This was the name used by New Republic scientists and military advisors to describe the bio-technology that powered Yuuzhan Vong starships. It was believed that specially-developed dovin basals were connected in a hive-like structure at the aft of the alien starships. (JE)

Neuronic Whip
A particularly cruel weapon produced by TholCorp, the neuronic whip caused intense pain and trauma in a target by sending electrical charges into the target's nerve cells. Many experienced interrogators and torturers found that the simple presence of a neuronic whip was enough to force a captive to submit, and would drag the limp end of a deactivated whip across exposed flesh. This would induce panic and fear in the captive, who was unaware when their tormentor might actually turn the whip on and use it to cause pain. (GG12, AEG, RF2)

Neuroprenoline
This pain-killing drug was developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, and found widespread use during the Clone Wars. (MBS)

Neuro-Saav Corporation
This large corporation manufactured a wide range of products, although much of their work was based on the blending of neurology and technology. Most prominent among their portfolio was a line of cyborg enhancements, including cyborg/droid interface modules. These modules allowed a cyborg to converse with, and draw data from, a droid or a computer system. During the last years of the Old Republic, Neuro-Saav entered into an agreement with TaggeCo., which resulted in the formation of the BioTech company. This alliance also put Neuro-Saav in good graces with the Empire, after the establishment of the New Order. (CFG, NEGW)

Neuro-Saav Technologies
A division of Neuro-Saav Corporation, Neuro-Saav Technologies manufactured a wide range of weapons sighting accesories, including light amplifiers, holographic imaging systems, and heat bafflers. (RPG)

Neuro-shock Hand
This cybernetic prosthesis from BioTech was more of a weapon than a bionic limb. The hand was equipped with a series of repulsor-field generators connected to a neuro-trigger in the palm. When the hand was jabbed at a target and makes contact, a full-force repulsorfield was generated from the hand, inflicting damage to the target. This action was continually active, so someone with the Neuro-shock Hand could cause pain and damage even if they accidentally run into someone. (CFG)

Neurostaff
This pike-like weapon delivers a nerve shock when it touches bare flesh. (GG10)

Neutra Four
This planet was one of many worlds subjugated by the Empire. (MC45)

Neutral Jedi Zone
This was the Basic translation of the Barabel term used to describe a high-ceilinged cave located beneath the surface of Barab I. It was in this cave, which was several hundred meters in length and width, that the Barabels resolved far-reaching disputes that could not be decided at the local level. Individual Barabels were appointed as diplomats to argue each side of a dispute, and visiting Jedi Knights or other dignitaries were asked to mediate the debates. The Neutral Jedi Zone offered offworlders luxury accommodations in exchange for their help in mediating the disputes. (WOTC)

Neutral Space
This was the term used by the military leaders of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe those areas of the galaxy that were unallied with either side of the fighting that occurred during the Clone Wars. The planets in these areas were often caught up in the fighting, however, as both the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems lobbied for them to join one side or the other. (CWT14)

Neutral Territories
This was the name given to those areas of space around the planet Kashyyyk that were off-limits to any sort of factional control. Thus, during the height of the Galactic Civil War, civilian spacers and Imperial forces could move through the Neutral Territories without hassle. (SWGAL)

Neutrino Activator
This switching device was used to turn a droid on or off, depending on its setting. They were most often used in small droids, where power requirements were minimal. (MDCAR)

Neutrino Hybridizer
This was one of the delicate, critical components of the sublight drives of early Corellian Engineering Corporation YT-1300's, such as the Millennium Falcon. These devices were usually made of specially-grown quartz and platinum. (LCF)

Neutron Dissembler
These weapons were theorized, but never actually developed, by the scientists of the Old Republic. The theory was that a neutron dissembler acted at the sub-molecular level, disrupting the bonds which held neutrons together and caused matter to "melt." The resulting damage appeared like scar tissue. (RP)

Neutron Furnace
A huge power generator, sometimes used on space stations. (MMY)

Neutron Pixie
This was a form of "medicinal" spice that was created during the height of the New Order. It was popular among smugglers, as it provided a temporary boost to the strength and constitution of the user. (SWGAL, SWG2P)

Neutron Star-class Bulk Cruiser
Rendili Star Drive's modified bulk cruiser, the Neutron Star was a 600-meter long capital ship known to be slow and in frequent need of repair. The Alliance, recognizing that these could be unreliable starships at best, usually assigned them to transport duty. Crewed by 2,050 and capable of carrying up to 200 troops, the Neutron Star was armed with 30 quad-laser cannons and two tractor beam generators. A total of forty gunners were required to handle the ship's weaponry. (RASB, FBS)

Neutronium
A heavy metallic element used in the formation of dura-armor and durasteel, neutronium was once used to make strong blades for melee weapons during the Great Sith War. (SWSB, RD, CTD, KOTOR2)

Neuvalis, Feras
This woman was married to Marjan Neuvalis, and was one of the leaders of House Neuvalis. (GG10)

Neuvalis, Marjan
This man and his wife, Feras, controlled House Neuvalis and the Neuvalis Bounty Hunters Guild. They were extremelyt rich, drawing from two family fortunes to bankroll the operation. (GG10)

Neuvalis Bounty Hunters Guild
This was one of the more prominent guilds for bounty hunters, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. This was quite an achievement, since the guild was formed just 10 years before the Battle of Yavin. This was due mainly to the family fortunes of the Guild's founders, Marjan and Feras Neuvalis. (GG10)

Neuvian Ice Sundae
This was another name for a Neuvian Sundae. (RCTC)

Neuvian Sundae
This was the name of an immense dessert of frozen cream and fruit, served in a wide bowl. (MDCAR)

Nev Ice Flow
This vast glacier was located on the planet Hoth, between the Kerane Valley and the Clabburn Range. Much of the ice forming the flow came from the Lanteel and Cirque Glaciers. (IWST)

Neva
This was one of the Alliance's Dreadnaught warships, active during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Neva
This surname was common among the Sullustan race, and meant "legal council" in the Sullustan language. (GCG)

Neva, Huoba
A female Sullustan, Huoba Neva had two strikes against her when she joined the Imperial Academy. As the daughter of a SoroSuub executive, she easily gained acceptance and quickly distinguished herself. She rose quickly, but never seemed to be able to obtain a command of her own, in the Imperial Navy. Eventually, the pro-Human Imperial doctrine started to sink in, and Huoba started thinking about joined the Alliance. Sian Tevv had told Ackbar about her outstanding accomplishments, and Ackbar needed good starship commanders, so she was accepted into the Alliance. She became the youngest Republic warship commander following the victory in the Illoud System, and she was given command of the Rebel Star. Huoba Neva perished when the ship collided with the burned-out hull of a Star Destroyer as it emerged from hyperspace near Coruscant. The Rebel Star was part of the small New Republic fleet sent to rescue the crew of the Liberator, and the Republic mourned her passing. (DE1, DESB)

Neva Transport
This small shipping company plied the spacelanes of Brak Sector, at the height of the New Order. (FBS)

Nevana
This Dubravan woman's father owned a huge debt to the bounty hunter Sarma. She hoped to pay it off by providing Sarma with the location of Luke Skywalker, so that he could collect the Imperial bounty on Luke's head. However, she was unaware of who Skywalker really was, thinking he was just a smuggler. When Sarma tried to apprehend her with a squad of stomtroopers, she ran to find Jal and confront him. When the Imperials caught up with her, Nevana was shot in the back and killed by a stormtrooper. (VQ)

Nevar
This man served the Imperial Army as a Brigadeer General during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Nevar worked with General Veers in coordinating the AT-AT walker assault during the Battle of Hoth. Nevar was an extremely paranoid individual, and had his Blizzard 2 walker upgraded with heavier armor to protect himself. This armor proved to be useless against the ingenuity of the Alliance forces on Hoth, which used harpoons and tow cables to entangle its legs. The walker fell to the group, and the impact of the crash buckled the armor plating. With several passes of laser fire, Alliance T-47 snowspeeders destroyed Blizzard 2, killing Nevar and all aboard. (CCG3, IWST)

Never Die
This was the codename used by the person who created the Shard of Alderaan computer slicing program. This person was known to be a former native of Alderaan, but that was all the information known about them. (LAA)

Neverd
This Mando'a word translated into Basic as "civilian." (OWS)

Neverending Valor: The Unauthorized Guide to the Galaxy's Newest Heroes
This datatext, produced by Veritas Press during the last decades of the Old Republic, presented a series of falsified exploits that were supposedly accomplished by a group of heroes. When the book was read by the heroes, not to mention their opponents, it raised quite a stink. Old enemies took exception to their inept portrayal, and the heroes were furious that they were not consulted during the book's writing. Eventually, both the heroes and their enemies teamed up to destroy Veritas Press. (CCW)

Neverquit
This starship, custom-built by the Coyn Shipyards, was owned by the bounty hunter Grea. (PG3)

Nevik
This man was the Captain of the Imperial Star Destroyer Devastator during the period leading up to the Battle of Hoth. Nevik was killed by Agent Sollaine when he tried to assume command of the Devastator's flight plans during the hunt for suspected Alliance undercover agents. Nevik's people believed an agent was in the Alfestril System, but Sollaine demanded the ship fly to Corulag. Sollaine used the power source in his cybernetic arms to electrocute Nevik in front of the entire bridge crew of the Devastator. (SWJ12)

Nevil
This ancient Quarren surname meant "singer of sagas". Like many Quarren surnames, it could be traced back to the time of the Battle of Ruusan. (GCG)

Nevil, Kral "Deuce"
This Quarren served as Rogue Two and Gavin Darklighter's wingman in Rogue Squadron, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Captain Kral was believed to have been killed in the engagement with the Yuuzhan Vong over Dantooine, while trying to protect the flow of refugees from Destrillion and Dubrillion. Kral managed to return to active duty, and served in the Battles of Garqi and Ithor. Nevil later served as a wingmate to Colonel Gavin Darklighter during the defense of Coruscant and the retaking of the planet Borleias.

In the realtive peace that followed the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, Nevil was promoted several times, and eventually took a command position. Nearly four years after the end of the Swarm War, Nevil was chosen to command the Star Destroyer Anakin Solo in the wake of the death of Captain Twizzl. His first combat occurred during Jacen Solo's deep-space rendezvous with Corellian diplomats, a meeting that was described as a chance to negotiate for Corellia's return to the Galactic Alliance. Instead, the rendezvous was a trap, and the location was chosen to allow Sadras Koyan and Corellia's leader to fire the Centerpoint Station repulsor at the Anakin Solo. Although Captain Nevil and Jacen Solo managed to survive the blast, Nevil's son, Turl, was killed in the fighting. Solo was surprisingly sympathetic, and allowed Nevil to go about his business as he saw fit.

During Jacen's attempt to seize control of Centerpoint Station, Captain Nevil questioned Solo's killing of Lieutenant Tebut, who had inadvertently allowed the shuttle Reveille to land aboard the Anakin Solo. Jacen wanted none of his insolence, and used the Force to knock Nevil against a bulkhead, momentarily stunning him into submission. In the wake of the destruction of Centerpoint Station, Solo allowed Captain Nevil to remain as the Anakin Solo's commanding officer, but Nevil himself found that he was uncomfortable in the position. His concerns only increased during the Second Battle of Fondor, in which Solo kept a large portion of the battle plan to himelf, leaving the rest of the commanders with minimal direction.

When Solo broke away from the rest of the Galactic Alliance fleet and started bombing Fondorian cities from orbit, Captain Nevil finally decided that he could no longer serve under Solo's command. He found a spare escape pod and jettisoned away from the Anakin Solo, abanding his post rather than obey Solo any longer. His escape pod was later recovered by Admiral Niathal aboard the Ocean. (DTO, DTR, EL1, LF7, LF8)

Nevil, Turl
This Quarren male was the son of Kral Nevil. Like his father, Turl joined the naval forces of the Galactic Alliance, and served as a weapons officer aboard the frigate Cheesmeer during the war against The Confederation. Ensgin Turl was killed when the Cheesmeer was destroyed by the Centerpoint Station repulsor, during a rendezvous between Jacen Solo and Corellian representatives, nearly four years after the end of the Swarm War. (LF7)

Nevlin
This was a common name among the Lepi people. (UANT)

Nevo
This scruffy human and his gang were hired by Darth Vader to hunt down Boba Fett, while the bounty hunter was tracking Abal Karda. They had been imprisoned on Coruscant, and Vader offered them a chance to redeem themselves if they took the job. They were able to intercept the Captain of the Port-Esta Queen and gather information about Karda'a location, then set out to find Fett. Unfortunately, Nevo and his gang were no match for Fett's skills, and all were killed by the bounty hunter on Maryx Minor. (EOE)

Nevoota
This insectoid race was once native to the planet Nevoota, until the ancient Mandalorian Crusaders nearly wiped them out in a series of epic wars. (SWI80)

Nevoota
This planet was once the homeworld of the Nevoota race, until they were virtually destroyed by the ancient Mandalorian Crusaders. (SWI80)

Nevs, Luiss
This influential Sluissi was a prominent member of the Sluis Van Congregate, during the early years of the New Republic. (SWJ2)

New Academy for Space Pilots (*)
A school for young pilots throughout the galaxy, Luke Skywalker once attended classes there. He saved the Academy from destruction by a moon whose orbit had decayed by deflecting it with zukonium rays. (MM)

New Agamar
This planet was noted for its greater than standard gravity. The human settlers who colonized the planet evolved over time to be much stockier and more muscled than most humans. (JT)

New Alderaan
This lush, temperate planet was repopulated by the descendants of Alderaanian-born members of the Alliance. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, this was one of the Alliance's best-hidden safe worlds. After the birth of the New Republic, it served, for a time, as the hiding place for Jacen and Jaina Solo. Princess Leia also returned there, during the many battles with the clones of Emperor Palpatine, to give birth to Anakin Solo. Note that The Courtship of Princess Leia says Zsinj ravaged the planet, but Dark Empire II has Imperial forces under Xecr Nist laying waste to it. (RASB, CPL, DE2)

New Alderaan
This was the sarcastic nickname given to a complex of dingy warehouses that were located in the manufacturing city of Leilani, on the planet Delaya, during the months following the Battle of Yavin. Refugees from the planet Alderaan were rounded up and kept in the warehouses, preventing them from taking up space or consuming resources that were otherwise produced for the native Delayans. (RF2)

New Apsolon
This was one of the largest cities on the planet New Apsolon, and was the site of the planet's primary spaceport. Like all cities on the planet, it was divided into a section for the Workers and a section for the Civilized. Before the planet was united under a single leader, some fifteen years before the Battle of Naboo, the two sections were separated by a wall of pure energy, ostensibly protecting the Civilzed from the Workers. Following the election, the energy wall was dismantled and replaced with forty shimmering, stone columns. Each column remembered a member of the Workers who died trying to breach the wall, during the civil war which simmered between the Workers and the Civilized. (TTB)

New Apsolon
Originally known simply as Apsolon, this planet decided to join the galactic community, and the Old Republic, some 15 years before the Battle of Naboo. The people of Apsolon had to choose a leader who represented the entire planet, and the Jedi Knights Qui-Gon Jinn and Tahl were dispatched to assist in ensuring a fair election. The planet was controlled by the Civilized Authority, and policed by the Absolutes. The two primary social factions, the Civilized and the Workers, were continually at odds with each other. After the industrial sabotage of the Workers forced the Civilized to recognize their plight, the two groups agreed to form a single form of government which was known as the Unified Legislature. Each being who inhabited Apsolon was given a vote in the election, giving the Workers the largest portion of the total vote. The natives of the planet elected Ewane to be their leader, and decided to rename the world New Apsolon in remembrance of their new freedom. The planet was known for its two primary exports: high technology and beautiful grey stone. The planet had three natural satellites, and it orbited a pair of small stars. (TTB, CTV)

New Architecture
This was the name given to the architectural style that arose during the last century of the Old Republic. It was most obvious in the Senate District of Coruscant, where the upper layers of the city were dotted with somes, spires, and blade-thin obelisks. (LEV)

New Atraken City
This was the capital city of the planet Atraken, built a half-kilometer below the surface of the planet. It once supported a small mining community, before it was ravaged in the Clone Wars. The city remains, although the chemical and biological weapons used on the planet have left it devoid of life. The city now supports the planet's refugees. (PG2)

New Bakstre
A habitable planet with seven moons, New Bakstre was considered one of the Cassandran Worlds. It's atmosphere, combined with its nearby-sun, created a purplish sky overlooking twisted and gnarled vegetation. (RPG, SWJ1, SWI87)

New Balosar
This pleasant planet was colonized by the Balosar race, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong War. The planet was noted for the seemingly unconcerned nature of its inhabitants, as evidenced by the joking way the natives handled virtually every aspect of their society. During the years following the end of the Alliance-Confederation War, the holosigns at the New Balosar spaceport read, "Natasi Daala is Chief of State, so why give a poodoo?" The planet's economy was based on tourism and the sale of all manner of sensual entertainments. (MF)

New Bornalex
This planet was a member world of the Old Republic. It was one of many worlds that were devastated during the height of the Clone Wars, when the Mandalorian Protectors carried out covert attacks for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. (COD, SWI80)

New Boy, The
This was a common term used among the governmental workers of the Galactic Alliance to describe Jacen Solo, during the era of the Corellia-GA War. (LF5)

New Brigia
This planet, located in the Koornacht Cluster, was settled by humans who fled the government of Brigia. They were brought to the planet by the Bothan cargo hauler Stanz aboard the Freebird, and paid their passage by selling the chromite they mined to Stanz. Stanz paid them the minimum for the ore, thereby keeping them in debt for many years. The planet was the first world targetted by the Yevetha during the Great Purge, and all of its inhabitants were quickly executed. The chromite mines were left intact. (BTS)

New Calamar
This city, located on Esseles' southern continent, was the site of the Terril Naval Base. It was also known as Camalar to most natives of Esseles.. (GG2, SWJ3, SWJ7)

New Calince
This city, located on the Rett continent of Draenell's Point, was the planet's primary food processing center. (GMK)

New Canistel
This planet was the original homeworld of the senoti tree. (GORW)

New Class Starships
These classes of starship design were implemented by the New Republic in the wake of the struggle against Grand Admiral Thrawn. The goal of the New Republic was to remove the ragtag ships which made up the fleets of the Alliance, and replace them with more modern, less-expensive warships. They were designed to be smaller and more mobile than the standard Imperial ships they replaced, and were developed to be defensive in nature. The New Class Starships included the Agave-class picket ship, the Warrior-class gunship, the Sacheen-class light escort, the Hajen-class fleet tender, the Majestic-class heavy cruiser, the Defender-class assault carrier, the Endurance-class fleet carrier, and the Nebula-class Star Destroyer. (CTD, NECH)

New Coral City
Formerly known as Ackbarea, this floating city served as the planetary capital of Dac, during the years following the Battle of Caamas. In the wake of the battle, the Quarren were able to assume control of the planetary government. They stopped using the name Calamari and Mon Calamari to describe their homeworld, and reverted back to its original name of Dac. They then renamed Ackbarea to be New Coral City, althought they maintained the governmental offices there. After the Galactic Alliance was able to steal the Imperious from the orbital shipyards over the planet, Darth Krayt himself traveled to New Coral City to confront the Quarren government. He then ordered ten percent of the Mon Calamari population be killed in response to Gial Gahan's role in the theft of the Imperious. The massacre was recorded by floating holocams and transmitted across the galaxy, as a warning to any people or planet that dared to defy Darth Krayt's rule. (SWLW)

New Corellian Crisis
This was the simplistic term used by Admiral Niathal to describe the galactic situation surrounding Thrackan Sal-Solo's attempt to secede the Corellian System from the Galactic Alliance, some ten years after the end of the war againt the Yuuzan Vong. The Galactic Alliance had tried to forestall any secession by blockading the Corellian System with the Galactic Alliance Second Fleet and capturing Sal-Solo and Five World Prime Minister Aidel Saxan, but Saxan had been alerted to the mission by Han and Leia Organa Solo. Thus, the GA's forces were relegated to an outpost base on Tralus, while Sal-Solo continued to build his base of power. After the assassination of Prime Minister Saxan on Toryaz Station, the crisis reached a higher level of concern for the Galactic Alliance. (LF1)

New Corellian Treaty
This was the name used to describe the treaty signed by Mon Mothma, Garm Bel Iblis, and Bail Organa, officially announcing the creation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. This name was adopted to eliminate confusion with the original Corellian Treaty, which established the boundaries of The Slice and the hyperspace travel routes within it. (CCW)

New Coronet
This city, located on the swamp-covered world of Trigalis, was designated in many travel guides as a trading post. In reality, it was little more than a slum, a collection of rundown buildings that served as a haven for all many of criminals during the height of the Clone Wars. During this time, the city was under the control of the Black Sun assassin Xist. (O)

New Cov
The third planet in the Churba sector, New Cov was once the sight of a Bothan battle with a Victory-class Star Destroyer during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. This event marked the only documented instance of a Bothan-only battle with the Empire. New Cov had no indigenous sentient species, but it was a jungle world teeming of plant life and valuable natural resources. The planet's cities were walled and domed to protect them from the dangers of the surrounding environment. The planet's primary industry revolved around the jungle's exotic flora, which produced various biomolecules with commerical value. However, many of the plants adapted to this threat and became dangerous to the harvesters. The planet had a normal rotational period of about 27 hours, and it's year lasted 301 local days. (DFR, DFRSB)

New Cov Biomolecule Company
Located in the city of Ilic on New Cov, this company was the primary harvester and exporter of New Cov's various natural biomolecules. These substances were used throughout the galaxy for a number of medicinal, industrial, and military applications. (DFRSB)

New Cov Quasar
This starship was owned by Kevas Startron. It was a Hyrotil Crescent-class transport. (CRO)

New Crusade
This was the term used by the Neo-Crusaders to describe the era of Mandalorian control they hoped to bring to the galaxy, during the era of the Mandalorian Wars. Led by Cassus Fett and the Mandalore, the New Crusade involved the subjugation of the galaxy under the command of the Mandalore. Any beings who penly and honestly adopted the Mandalorian ways would be allowed to live, while traitors were summarily executed. (KOR6)

New Cylimba
This planet was the site of an Alliance base during the Galactic Civil War. It was abandoned before the Empire could destroy it, thanks to information provided by Rivoche Tarkin. (CRO, GORW)

New Dawn
This Emissary-class shuttle was provided to former Supreme Chancellor Tarsus Valorum by the Galactic Senate, for use in his travels during the years following the end of the New Sith Wars and the enactment of the Ruusan Reformations. Although Valorum had served his two terms of office, he remained in the political arena as a special envoy for the Galactic Senate, traveling to various worlds and promoting the Unification Policies that brought the galactic community back together. He traveled on the New Dawn to a secret meeting on Serenno, some ten years after the end of the Battle of Ruusan, to discuss the separatist movement that was growing on the planet. He was accompanied by his friend and guardian, Jedi Knight Johun Othone. Unfortuantely, their mission had been discovered by Zannah, who was working to undermine the efforts of the Anti-Republci Liberation Front. The members of the insurgent group had planted explosives around the landing pad where the New Dawn touched down, and detonated them shortly after the shuttle landed. Although Valorum and Othone had already debarked, the shuttle's crew was killed in the explosion. Valorum nearly fell to his death in the wake of the explosion, but Othone managed to pull him to safety before confronting their attackers. (DBRT)

New DownTime
This was a code phrase used by the New Republic forces stationed on Folor, and was meant to indicate a full retreat. If a retreat was needed, pilots were required to meet at New DownTime, a reference to the cantina often frequented by Republic pilots. (WS)

New Empire
This was a term that was believed to have originated in the Moff Council of the Imperial Remnant, during the weeks following the Second Battle of Fondor. Some of the Moffs were reported to have proposed a merger of the Imperial Remnant and the Galactic Alliance, but only if the Moffs were in control of the galactic government, not Jacen Solo. The idea of a New Empire was supported by a few Moffs, but never gained enough backing to be put on the table. Jacen Solo, who had taken on the title of Darth Caedus, caught wind of the idea of a New Empire and began to embrace it, especially when the Moffs began calling him "Lord Caedus." (LF9)

New Empire, The
The New Empire was born from the Imperial Remnant, in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When the Galactic Alliance could no longer support itself as the predominant galactic government, the Imperial Remnant decided that it could not remain a member of the Alliance. Splitting from the Galactic Alliance, the Imperial Remnant re-established itself as the New Empire, and began to assume more and more control over the galaxy. However, unlike the Galactic Empire formed by Emperor Palpatine, the Fel family who assumed leadership of the New Empire chose a more benign approach to leadership. Using the simple belief of "Victory Without War," the Fel Emperors ruled the New Empire without the terrible bloodshed and oppression of Emperor Palpatine.

About a century after the war against the Yuuzhan Vong was ended, Emperor Roan Fel found himself watching as the galaxy seemed to be crumbling around him. He forged a terrible alliance with Darth Krayt, and then watched in horror as the Ossus Project began to fail. The Moffs who ran the New Empire forced a war against the Galactic Alliance, and soon the new Empire had taken control of the galaxy. However, the alliance with the Sith proved to be little more than a cover for the true plans of Darth Krayt. As soon as the New Empire took control of Coruscant, Krayt assassinated the Imperial leaders and assumed control of the galaxy for the new Sith order. He later discovered that he had not killed Emperor Fel, but had instead murdered a stand-in. Krayt vowed to hunt Roan Fel down, an action that would bring the end of the New Empire. (SWLB)

New Escrow
This was one of the largest financial centers of the Old Republic, located on the planet Aargau and controlled by the Intergalactic Banking Clan. New Escrow also served as Aargau's planetary capital. Despite the successful use of speeders and airlanes in the urban areas of Coruscant, Aargau chose to build magnificent roadways for its vehicle and pedestrian traffic. (HNN5, PH)

New Escrow Old Spaceport
This spaceport, located in the capital city of New Escrow on the planet Aargau, was converted into a museum when the New Escrow Starport was built, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. (PH)

New Escrow Starport
This was the primary spaceport located in the capital city of New Escrow, on the planet Aargau. (PH)

New Growth
This think-tank was part of the SoroSuub Corporation, and was charged with developing wild ideas into viable business ventures. (GORW)

New History Squad
This group of children from the planet Melida/Daan was established by Nield, after The Young took control of the planet. They mission to ensure that the Halls of Evidence were destroyed, thereby eliminating the centuries of hatred between the Daan and Melida maintained in their holograms. (UP)

New Holgha
This planet was the primary world in the Shirb System, located in the Outer Rim. New Holgha was perhaps best-known for its Five Holy Cities. The Yuuzhan Vong attacked the planet some three months after they launched their invasion of the galaxy at Belkadan. The New Republic had been warned of the attack by Boba Fett and his group of Mandalorian warriors, who risked their lives to get word out of Birgis. However, the New Republic refused to act on the information, and New Holgha fell swiftly to the Yuuzhan Vong. The New Republic later explained that any troops that might have been sent to New Holgha had been diverted to Pedd Four. (PM)

New Holghan
This was the name adopted by the human population that was native to the planet New Holgha. Most of the New Holghan population was killed or consumed when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the planet, some three months after they launched their invasion of the galaxy. Boba Fett and his Mandalorian warriors had warned the New Republic about the impending attack, but the Republic refused to believe the warning until it was too late. (PM)

New Holstice
This planet served as one of the many staging points for the Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. New Holstice also served as one of the Republic's primary hospital facilities during the conflict. Located in a remote glade on the planet was a wondrous memorial to those Jedi Knights who had been killed over the millennia. The natives of New Holstice created the memorial by generating a shaft of pure light that rose high into the sky. The light, powered by a dedicated generator that ensured the light would not go out, was of a specific frequency and wavelength that attracted the unusual memory moth. The people of New Holstice added one memory moth for each Jedi who was killed, starting from a point many thousands of years before the Clone Wars. The Jedi's name was whispered to a moth, which repeated the Jedi's name in the beating of its wings, seemingly forever. The memorial was filled slowly over the centuries, until the Clone Wars began. Starting with the Battle of Geonosis, the memorial was filled at an astonishing rate, due to the loss of hundreds of Jedi during the fighting. In the wake of the Republic's resounding loss at the Battle of Jabiim, the surviving forces retreated to New Holstice to recover. Some seventeen months after the Battle of Geonosis, New Holstice was attacked by a group of former Mandalorian warriors, but they were eventually defeated. (RBJ, RSF)

New Hope
This Alliance Dreadnaught had once been stationed in orbit around Churba, as a sort of floating museum. Alliance forces stole the ship out from under the Imperials who controlled the planet, and refitted it to serve as a mobile command post during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, the New Hope was stationed at Milagro, in an effort to keep the hyperspace jump point there free from Imperial control. (SFE, ECH, NECH)

New Hope Settlement
This was one of the small settlements found on the planet Ladarra. (TFNR)

New Hopetown
This settlement, originally known as Hopetown, was located on the planet Ennth. Like all other settlements there, it was almost completely destroyed in the wake of earthwuakes and tidal waves caused when Ennth's moon orbitted close to the planet. The settlers eventually rebuilt it, and renamed it New Hopetown. When it was again destroyed eight years later, it was renamed Newer Hopetown. The young Jedi student Zekk was born here, and then orphaned when his parents were killed in an earthquake. (SHA)

New Horizons Development Corporation
This corporation recruited several Fefze swarms in order to make food production more efficient. They also employed Fefze as colonizers, allowing the adaptible insects to make a planet more useful for other races. (GG4)

New Imperial Diplomatic Corps
This branch of the New Empire was charged with maintaining diplomatic relations with the many governments and star systems that supported the New Empire, during the years leading up to the Sith-Imperial War. In the wake of the conflict, the work of the Diplomatic Corps became even more important, since it helped to keep member systems alerted to the machinations of the new Sith order. (SWLC)

New Javis System
This Tapani Sector star system was part of the holdings of House Calipsa during the New Order. Aside from the Calipsa System itself, the New Javis system was the most populated system in the control of House Calipsa.

New Mandalore
This was the title adopted by the Mandalorian warrior who emerged from the gladiator arenas on Geonosis and began to restore the Mandalorians to prominence in the galaxy, during the era of the Great Galactic War. The New Mandalore was able to gather a huge army seemingly overnight, and started to build up his forces by hiring them out as bounty hunters and mercenaries, giving them experience before announcing that he was ready to attack the Jedi Order. The New Mandalore allied his people with the Sith Empire, augmenting the Sith armies and giving them a definite advantage in the war against the Republic. Mandalorian warships were strewn across the Hydian Way and the Rimman Trade Route, cutting the Republic off from the Outer Rim Territories. However, after a year of thwarting the Republic's efforts, the Mandalorian blockade was smashed by the Smuggling Contingent. The New Mandalore decided to withdraw his forces from the Great Galactic War, allowing some warriors to go off on their own while seeking out other opportunities to cause trouble for the Jedi Order. Many historians point to the emergence of this New Mandalore as a turning in the history of the Mandalorians, since his own rise to power provided the impetus to rebuild the glory of the Mandalorians. However, it was later learned that the New Mandalore had not risen to prominence on Geonosis solely on the basis of his gladiatorial prowess. The Sith Emperor had sent agents to the gladiator arenas in search of a strong warrior of Mandalorian descent, and had rigged fight after fight in order to ensure his success. (SWORW)

New Marketplace
This was a trading and commercial district of the city of Talos, located on the planet Atzerri. (SOL)

New Melaana
This was the name given to the recently urbanized canyon floor of the city of Melaana, on the planet Soterios. The Old City, as it was called, had maintained the canyon floor for use as farmland. However, the deserts of Soterios eventually reclaimed the land, making it unsuitable for farming. In the last centuries of the Old Republic, the city managers built New Melaana in the fashion of the skyscrapers of Coruscant. (PGT)

New Moon Bummer
This was an expression used by the natives of the planet Bellassa to describe any event or situation that was unwanted or unappealing. (LJ10)

New Nozho
This was the name of the first Y'bith settlement that was established on Clak'Dor IV, more than 200 years before the Battle of Yavin. (SWDB)

New Nystao
This was the name of the settlement which sprang up at the base of Mount Tantiss, on Wayland, after the New Republic defeated Grand Admiral Thrawn and took control of the facility. It became the nominal capital of the planet because it was also the location of the largest civilian starport on the planet. In an ironic twist of fate, much of New Nystao was maintained by the Noghri, who had been forced to abandon their homeworld of Honoghr after Imperial forces rendered its surface incapable of supporting plantlife. (HT, WOA29, NEGA)

New Oldtown
This village, found on the planet Aldivy, was the home of Lara Notsil before it was destroyed by Admiral Trigit. (IF)

New Order
This was the name given to the era of the Galactic Empire, which began when Chancellor Palpatine declared himself Emperor in the wake of the Clone Wars, after the destruction of the Jedi Order. Although Palpatine had publicly promised to resign his position as Supreme Chancellor when the threats of the Separatists had passed, he had been secretly manipulating galactic events in order to retain his position of leadership. He also worked behind the scenes to curry favor with many Senators, and was not above using force to get his way. Thus, when the Separatist threats to the Old Republic became too great, he graciously accepted continuations of his tenure. With the Clone Wars ended, Palpatine seized control of the military and the government in the wake of what he called the "Jedi Rebellion", instituting the New Order as his plan to eliminate the corruption that was rampant in the Old Republic. In his own words, Palpatine proclaimed, "We will make a New Order. We will trade strength for frailty, order for chaos, and decisiveness for uncertainty." The bywords of the New Order were safety, security, justice, and peace. One of the primary tenets of the New Order was that diversity was a weakness the galaxy couldn't tolerate. Thus, a strong pro-Human sentiment was instilled that relegated aliens and near-humans to a much lower status. Several laws were quickly enacted to ensure the security of the New Order, and many of the Senators who had signed the Petition of the Two Thousand were arrested as possible enemies of the Empire. (E4N, RESB, GBC, VD3, RDV)

New Order Party

New Oslet Flejj Beasts
This was one of the best Pugil teams found on the planet Lannik, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (HNN5)

New Plympto
This planet was located deep in the Core Worlds, on the edge of the Deep Core. It was located along the Corellian Trade Spine, between Jumus and Duro, in what as known as the Outlier Systems. New Plympto was the homeworld of the Nosaurian race, as well as the rikknit, a species of crablike spider whose eggs were a vital ingredient in many intoxicants. The planet was first contacted by Corellian traders some 10,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. When the trade for ji rikkit was shut down, New Plympto experienced an economic depression, and the Nosaurians came to hate the Republic for it. The change-over to Emperor Palpatine's New Order was no better, especially after New Plympto was declared "expendable" by an Imperial Procurator of Justice. The death of Fefar Blackeye, although caused by Imperial forces, was attributed to the New Republic, and the Nosaurians eventually declared themselves independent from the fledgling government. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Nosaurian natives of the planet put up a strong resistance, led by the Jedi Knights Alema Rar and her sister, Numa. In retaliation, the Yuuzhan Vong unleashed a life-destroying plague that wiped the planet clean of organic life. The Rar sisters barely escaped with a large group of refugees, sneaking by the Yuuzhan Vong blockade by hiding in ore freighters. Note that, while Coruscant and the Core Worlds indicates that New Plympto had a day which lasted 18 standard house and a year that lasted 244 days, Star Wars Gamer issue 9 indicates that New Plympto's day lasted 22 standard hours and its year lasted 370 standard days. (IWE1, BP, SBS, NEGC, CCW, GMR9)

New Ralltiir
Han Solo was interviewed by Voren Na'al on this planet. (CSA)

New Reborn, The
This was another name for the Disciples of Ragnos, stemming from the fact that many of the original Disciples of Ragnos had been part of the Reborn. (OWS)

New Regime
This government assumed control of the planet Brigia during the early years of the New Order. While not expressly allied with the Empire, the New Regime adopted many of its methodologies. When it came to power, the New Regime began to build up the planet's military, using the meager funds collected by the previous government to purchase anything that even resembled military surplus. To hide its misuse of funds, the New Regime instituted a new form of currency, thus enabling it to control trade. However, the paper currency it used on Brigia was little more than photocopied forgeries, lacking any financial backing. When Han Solo tried to bring Hissal back to Brigia, he was able to expose the New Regime for what it was, bringing its activities to the attention of the native Brigians. (HSL)

New Republic
This was the name chosen by the leaders of the Alliance to Restore the Republic for the government that they established in the wake of the defeat of Emperor Palpatine's New Order. Founded just after the Battle of Endor and the Truce at Bakura, the New Republic reaffirmed many of the Old Republic's basic tenets, and also established some new ones. These new beliefs were aimed toward eliminating the beliefs which brought the Old Republic down, while maintaining and expanding on the sovereign rights of every individual.

The New Republic was first headed by Mon Mothma, and later by Leia Organa-Solo, during its early years. At the time of the Yevethan Great Purge, the New Republic was formed from some 400 sentient species, and counted some 11,000 inhabited worlds as members. The symbol of the New Republic reused the blue crest of the Alliance, which signified the burning desire to restore justice to the galaxy. Surrounding it were fifteen stars that signified the galactic community. A thin golden border surrounded the circular seal, symbolizing the galactic right of the people to govern themselves.

Like the Old Republic before it, the New Republic withstood many internal challenges, not the least of which was the petty squabbling of its member worlds, until it witnessed an invasion of the galaxy by the Yuuzhan Vong. Under incredible pressure to maintain order and ensure their survival, many members of the New Republic Advisory Council worked harder to save themselves than their homeworlds or constituents. The Advisory Council's inability to make a decision on how to address the alien invaders allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to make swift inroads toward the Core Worlds.

Within three years, the Yuuzhan Vong captured the planet Coruscant and forced Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya to sacrifice himself in an attempt to stem the tide. With Coruscant destroyed, the New Republic shattered. In one of the earliest meetings of the so-called Inner Circle, General Antilles called the New Republic "a dead, oversizing hulk with a decentralized nervous system, whose extremities don't realize that its heart isn't beating anymore." In order to break from the past and establish a new galactic order, Chief of State Cal Omas reformed the government under the banner of the Galactic Federation of Free Alliance, or simply the Galactic Alliance. (HTTE, DE1, JS, BTS, TTSB, EL1, OWS)

New Republic Advisory Council
This six-member body formed the highest level of the New Republic's government. Led by the Chief of State, the Advisory Council debated over the most problematic issues faced by the Republic. It was formed nearly two decades after the Battle of Endor, but was scattered in the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant, when the Yuuzhan Vong destroyed much of the capital planet and precipated the death of Borsk Fey'lya. (VP, EL1)

New Republic Archaeological Corps
This branch of the New Republic was formed in the wake of the destruction of Emperor Palpatine's clones on the planet Byss, after Luke Skywalker discovered the Ysanna civilization on Ossus. The New Republic established the NRAC to assist various university-based groups in the excavation of historical sites like Ossus, so that the artifacts and information that were uncovered could be preserved for the rest of the galaxy. Additionally, any new discoveries of information on the former Jedi Order was to be documented and provided to Master Skywalker, for use as he strove to rebuild the Jedi Knights. The NRAC became especially active during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, when it became imperative that the Jedi have every advantage they could in fighting against the alien invaders. (GORW)

New Republic Astrogation Studies Center

New Republic Defense Fleet
This was the primary coalition of the New Republic's Naval forces, some twelve years after the Battle of Endor. At the time, it was comprised of five major battle groups, each of which was assigned a given sector of space. One entire fleet was dedicated to protecting Coruscant and the center of the New Republic's power. (BTS, TT)

New Republic Defense Force
This was the primary military body, created by the New Republic, to protect the Republic from external subterfuge. Led by the Joint Defense Operations Staff, the NRDF was based on Coruscant, and controlled the various branches of the armed forces that were arrayed across the galaxy. Having survived the Black Fleet Crisis, the credibility ot the NRDF was severely degraded when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, since the Republic's military was poorly-equipped to handle the situation. The valiant struggle to win the war was not given much media coverage, further adding to the poor image of the NRDF. However, in the wake of the Battle of Borleias and the release of Wolam Tser's holodocumentary, The Battle of Borleais, the true efforts of the Defense Force were revealed to the public, and popular opinion of the NRDF was restored. In time, the New Republic Defense Force was considered an equal of the Senate, although the loss of Coruscant and the scattering of the Republic's leaders put a great strain on the NRDF's relationship with the government. Once the Galactic Alliance was solidifed on Calamari, the NRDF once again set to work protecting those people it could. (BTS, HT, DW, FH1)

New Republic Scout Service
This New Republic-sponsored group was created to provide the latest information on star systems and intergalactic phenomena to anyone looking to explore the galaxy. Its findings were considered complete, but often went through several layers of Republic review before they were published. The service was championed by Mon Mothma herself, who argued that the service would help bring the more remote and out-of-touch planets of the Unknown Regions and Wild Space up to the galactic norm, especially in the wake of the Battle of Endor. She received stiff opposition from the Provisional Council, but her reasoning won out in the end. The NRSS employed three kinds of scouts: service scouts, who were members of the New Republic itself; corporate scouts, funded by the many mega-corporations of the galaxy; and independent scouts, who worked for themselves. The Service was derived from a similar branch of the Old Republic, which was disbanded by Emperor Palpatine when he discovered that many Old Republic scouts were feeding anti-Imperial information to newly-discovered civilizations. (GG8, SWJ8)

The city was bombarded by the Argazdan Myrialites during the era of the Kanz Disorders, and the surviving Lorrdians were forced to flee to the settlement at Qatamer. Unfortunately, these survivors were later enslaved by the Argazdans. The original Performance Square was located in New Shallos, but it was razed during the Argazdan occupation of Lorrd. (OWS)

New Sith
This was one of the terms used to describe those Sith Lords who were part of the Brotherhood of Darkness, during the centuries leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. The term New Sith was believed that have come into use after the death of Darth Ruin, some 2,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. These Sith Lords believed that they grew in strength when their numbers were large, drawing on the collective connection to the Dark Side of the Force to augment their powers. (DBRT, EGF)

New Sith Wars
This was the term used by historians to represent the history of the galaxy from 2000 to 1000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The alliance of Sith known as the Brotherhood of Darkness rose to power during this time, but the Sith culture was marred by infighting and backstabbing among its members. Although the Sith of this period managed to take many worlds from the Old Republic, the lust of its members was unsatisfied. Each Sith Lord wanted more power and control, and the violence within the ranks was as vicious as it was against the Republic. Ultimately, the era of the New Sith Wars came to an end with the Battle of Ruusan, when the Brotherhood of Darkness was finally defeated. Also during this time, the Mandalorian Mercs were able to recruit an endless supply of soldiers for their seemingly endless campaigns of violence and pillaging. The Mandalorians of this time once again pledged their support for the Sith, and fought alongside them in many battles against the Old Republic. (SWI80)

New Year Fete Week
This was the Empire's version of the Coruscant Fete Week festival, held annually during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. Unlike the Old Republic's celebration, the New Year Fete Week event was decidedly pro-Imperial and pro-human. The opening day of New Year Fete Week began with a huge parade that was accompanied by a fly-over of some 300 TIE Fighters. The Imperial armed forces led the parade, which included floats and marching bands from those planets that were the Empire's strongest supporters. For many years, public executions of convicted criminals and enemies of the Empire were carried out in Imperial City. These executions were made private, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, apparently due to security issues. (SWJ5, NECH, OWS)

They came to Nam Chorios to try and open new frontiers and establish profitable commercial centers. The barren wastes of the planet prevented them from doing so. The Newcomers believed that the Therans and other Oldtimers wanted to keep the planet isolated, as evidenced by their use of automatic gun emplacements to shoot down incoming and outgoing cargo ships. This belief was fostered by Seti Ashgad, although the real meaning of the gun emplacements was never made public. The Oldtimers and Therans were striving to keep the drochs from leaving the planet, not trying to prohibit trade. The Newcomers fought for Ashgad, ambushing the gun emplacements when ships arrived. The ships contained weapons required to liberate Ashgad and the droch Dzym from the planet, although the Newcomers were told that the weapons were to be used against the Oldtimers. (POT)

Newer Hopetown
This was the name chosen for the rebuilt settlement of New Hopetown, on the planet Ennth, after it was destroyed in the wake of seismic activity which wracked the planet every eight years. When it, too, was destroyed, it was renamed Newest Hopetown. (SHA)

Newest Coast Town
This settlement, located on the planet Ennth, was typical of the small towns that were built there. The planet virtually tore itself apart every eight years, when its single moon passed close enough to graze the atmosphere and set off huge seismic and tidal disturbances. Rebuilt from the base of a previous town - probably called Newer Coast Town - it was eventually destroyed itself in a huge tidal wave. (SHA)

Newest Hopetown
This settlement on the planet Ennth was built from the rubble of Newer Hopetown. When it was destroyed during Ennth's eight-year seismic cycle, it was rebuilt and renamed Another Hopetown. (SHA)

Newport
This was one of the three major spaceports located in Imperial City, on Coruscant. The Obroan Institute maintained a landing bay there for many decades, until the Yuuzhan Vong took control of Coruscant and reformed it into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar. Like most locations on the planet, Newport suffered huge amounts of damage during the early stages of the reformation. (BTS, TT, UF)

NewsNet
This was the generic term used to describe the loose collection of sanctioned and pirate networks, forums, and bulletin boards that sprang up on the HoloNet during the era of the New Order. When the Galactic Empire was formed at the end of the Clone War, the HoloNet was usurped for Imperial communications, leaving the average being without a source of regular information. NewsNets were soon formed to provide all manner of timely information and communication to the citizens of the galaxy, regardless of their political stance.

The types of information that were shared on NewsNets ranged from gossip to travel notices to realtime news reporting, and the quality, legitimacy, and legality of this information was considered as variable as the weather. The Empire allowed many newsfeeds to continue to exist as NewsNets, but regularly monitored the information traffic to eliminate or shut down feeds that were deemed illegal.

Updated information was supplied to nodes throughout the galaxy by message courier droids, which dropped out of hyperspace near communication nodes and then broadcast the information they contained to various distributors. These distributors then placed the information on all manner of computer networks for dissemination to downstream nodes.

Although much of the data found on NewsNets was designed for large organizations, individual users could access them through specialized readers.

When the New Republic rose to power in the wake of the Galactic Civil War, the HoloNet was slowly restored to use as a public communications systems. NewsNets continued to exist in various parts of the galaxy, especially those sectors and systems that were still held by the Imperial Remnant. (SWJ3, OWS)

Newsvan
This was a generic term used to describe any form of repulsorlift vehicle that was modified to transport news and media technology into the field, most often in urban environments.

He initially denounced O'lif Khaz, after it was alleged that the Kubaz stole some trophies from Slake's estate on Oseon 5631. Later, however, Nex provided information to the authorities that helped implicate Sosten Freet as the real thief. (GMR5)

Nexcore Mining Corporation
This mining operation estabvlished a base of operations on the planet Velusia, during the last decades of the Old Republic. After building a spaceport inside Mount Hollow, NMC set out to extract as much ore as it could from the oceans which covered the planet. They used a series of oceanic exploration missions as cover for their activities, hoping to reap huge profits before they could be discovered. When their activities were dsicovered, however, NMC was forced to shut down much of its operations. Other mining corporations were given access to Velusia's seas, and NMC lost their monopoly on its profits. (CCW)

Nexer System
Located in the Borderlands Region, this star system was believed to house the base of operations of Gaor Tembon during the height of the New Order. This system was located near several well-used trade routes, but was remote enough that it avoided official notice. (WBC)

Nextor
This was one of the many crystals used by the ancient Sith Lord in the construction of a lightsaber. It was believed to have given the wielder the ability to cause a greater amount of damage with a blow from their lightsaber. It was also thought that a nextor crystal caused an opponent to feel fear or apprehension when faced with the lightsaber. Nextor crystals were found almost exclusively on the planet M'haeli. (KOTOR)

Nexu
This was one of the many Acclamator-class military transport ships used by the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. The Nexu was the ship that transported clone troopers to Vandor-3. (TCD)

Nexu
Native to Cholganna, this incredibly dangerous, feline predator was prized by those beings who staged gladiator fights during the last decades of the Old Republic. The head of a nexu was wide and flat, and dominated by its toothy maw. A golden mane surrounded the head, and the paws of the nexu were studded with heavy claws that allowed the beast to climb trees with relative ease. A row of spike-like quills protected the spine of the beast, and a whiplike tail provided both balance and another attack method. Most nexu moved about with their muscular legs held out to their sides, allowing them to crouch down and gain maximum stability while tracking and hunting prey.

Most nexu were native to the continent of Indona, with four distinct subspecies existing on Cholganna. Perhaps the most formidable of these subspecies was the four-eyed forest nexu. Two pairs of eyes gave the forest nexu incredible vision, with the primary pair having the ability to see in the visible spectrum while the secondary pair could see in the infrared spectrum. The tail of the forest nexu was partially prehensile, and split into two long "fingers" which were used to stabilize the forest nexu when it hunted in the trees for arboreal octopi.

Nexus were solitary hunters almost from birth, because their mothers abandoned them after six months of nursing. It seemed that the parents completely forgot about their offspring, and it was not uncommon for a mother nexu to eat her own young if they did not leave her territory. When attacking prey, most nexus grabbed the neck of their prey with their wide mouths and shook the prey violently, snapping its neck and leaving it unable to fight back. Because of their vicious nature, nexus were not often hunted, but their pelts, claws, and bones were prized aomng collectors.

A large number of nexus were exported from Cholganna for use in gladiator arenas and as execution beasts. A subspecies of wild nexu evolved on the planet Malastare, after several crimelords had them exported from Cholganna for use as guard beasts. Many of these were too wild to tame, and escaped into the wilderness.

It was rumored that the Old Republic Senator from Malastare, Ask Aak, once kept a nexu as an export pet and guard-beast. (TCG1, BF1, VD2, SWI63, BH, NEGA)

Nexu Grin
This was one of the many attack postures practiced by the warriors who trained in the teras kasi martial arts. (HNN5)

Nexufish
This fish, which was native to the oceans of the planet Mon Calamari, was considered a delicacy among sulyet chefs. The flesh of this fish had to be prepared with great care, since the nexufish was highly poisonous if not prepared and cooked properly. Sulyet chefs trained for years to master the techniques of fileting the nexufish, and this training meant that a serving of nexufish sulyet was quite expensive. (CN1)

Nexus
This Imperial Carrack-class cruiser was part of the Imperial force dispatched to hound the Alliance as its ships massed near Sullust, just prior to the Battle of Endor. (XWA)

Nexus
This was the designation of the Imperial shuttle used by Admiral Zaarin to meet with Habeen diplomats, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. The Habeen diplomats, who arrived at the rendezvous point in the shuttle Fairfax, were trying to sell the Empire a new form of hyperdrive technology. (TIE, TIEP)

Nexus
This was the brand name of Cybot Galactica's droid scomp link access unit. It was basically a thin arm which had interface ports on its end, and could be extended and inserted into a scomp link access panel. (FTD)

Nexus City
This was the primary spaceport of the planet Entralla. (SWJ4)

Nexus Ortai
This peaceful world was unremarkable, except for the fact that it was located at the intersection of several hyperspace lanes in the Mid Rim. This gave the planet a strategic position that was hotly contested during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Separatists staked the first claim to the planet, and naval forces of the Galactic Republic launched an attempt to recapture the planet. Unfortunately for the Republic, General Grievous arrived at the planet with reinforcements. With their ships damaged and their fighters drained of weapons and power, the Republic's leaders were forced to retreat and abandon the planet to the Separatists. The loss of Nexus Ortai forced the Republic to recall forces from nearly two dozen other worlds, because Separatist forces controlled the hyperspaces lanes around them. This led to a decision to attack the shipyards of the InterGalactic Banking Clan, in an attempt to cripple the Separatist ability to produce more starships. (CWSOD)

Nexus Ring
Produced by Menendahl Cybertronics, this Bith device appeared to be an ordinary signet ring. In reality, the nexus ring can be used to connect a cybernetic or prosthetic device to a local power source for recharging. (GFT)

Neyar gain
This was a phrase from one of the many Mandalorian dialects, which translated into Basic as "My name is". It was a derivative of the phrase ner gai. (RC66)

Neyo
This clone commander was one of the many ARC Troopers who led squads into battle for the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Officially designated as Commander 8826, Neyo was among the first 100 graduates of ARC Trooper training, and was known for his cold - often morbid - personality. Commander Neyo was one of three ARC troopers who led the clone troopers of the 91st Reconnaissance Corps, which was dispatched to Saleucami under the command of Jedi Master Oppo Rancisis. Commander Neyo was traveling with Jedi Master Stass Allie when Emperor Palpatine issued the command to execute Order 66. He allowed his speederbike to fall behind Allie's, then opened fire on the unsuspecting Jedi. His shots hit their mark, destroying Allie's own speederbike and causing it to explode. Stass Allie died in the explosion. Note that the original script for Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith had Commander Neyo participating in the Battle of Kachirho, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. (VD3, E3, SWDB, SWI87)

Neyrr, Menas
This was a noted individual from Koorivan history. (UANT)

Nez Peron

Ngaaluh
This Yuuzhan Vong priestess was one of the many followers of Yun-Harla. She brought news to Warmaster Tsavong Lah that Vergere had returned to the Yuuzhan Vong during the early stages of their invasion, but had inherent doubts about the truth behind the Eighth Cortex. When the Shamed Ones began speaking of the Jedi Knights as their saviors, Ngaaluh was one of many high-placed Yuuzhan Vong who took to The Message. To prove herself, she donned an ooglith masquer and set out to locate the prophet of the Shamed Ones, Yu'shaa. She tried to present Yu'shaa with a living unrik, but Yu'shaa - actually Nom Anor - believed she was trying to use a weapon. He used his plaeryin bol to defend himself, and barely realized the mistake he had made. Using a specialized anti-venom, Nom Anor revived Ngaaluh. When she had recovered, Ngaaluh agreed to return to Supreme Overlord Shimrra, with a villip concealed in her robes to record everything she witnessed and relay it to Nom Anor. She accepted the mission, despite its obvious danger, because she so believed in The Message. She was appointed by Shimrra himself to begin weeding out the heretical members of the Shamed Ones, a position which allowed her and Nom Anor to plot the downfall of many high-ranking members of Shimrra's command structure. However, their plans were uncovered during Shimrra's own investigation into the supposed treachery of Prefect Zareb and Drosh Khalii. Interrogation of the acolytes who had been inserted into Zareb's household revealed that it was Ngaaluh who actually placed them there. Shimrra ordered her captured and interrogated, but Ngaaluh would not reveal her true loyalties. She poisoned and killed herself, rather than revealing Nom Anor's part in the plots. (EVR, FH2, FH3)

Ngdin
This small, tongue-shaped creature was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong. It moved about on thousands of tiny cilia, and was created to eat the blood and flesh of anything it found. This way, the Vong could keep their dwelling clean of biological debris, especially the gricha-larva shells they used to house slaves. The cilia caused a numbing sting when they contact living flesh. (DTO)

Nharl
This star was the central body of the Nharl System. About two years before the Battle of Geonosis, Nharl ejected an immense solar flare, measuring more than ten light-minutes in length. The flare torched the planet Equanus, rendering it a lifeless cinder and virtually wiping out the Equani race. Many of the surviving Equani believed that the solar flare ejected by the star was not a natural phenomenon, but the result of a test-firing of the fire Death Star's superlaser. The test was miscalculated, and the star erupted with the solar flare. Although it was of little consolation to the Equani, the scientists who were conducting the test were killed in the flare as well. (MJH)

Nharpira
This small, predatory amphibian was native to the planet Dagobah. It was an aquatic creature, using its speed and tooth-filled maw to catch its prey. (WSW)

Nharqis'I
According to the legends that were shared among spacers and starship pilots, the Nharqis'I was a horrific creature that lived in the very heart of the starless nebula that was also know as the Nharqis'I. According to stories, the Nharqis'I was as hideous as it was huge. (TNFR, OWS)

Nharqis'I
This area of space was known as the "death place" by many races. The word Nharqis'I was actually a modification of a smuggler's term for a killing field. The Nharqis'I was a starless, featureless nebula in a bleak section of the galaxy, and it was considered by many spacers to be forbidding in its blankness. It was rumored that some sort of leviathan lived in the heart of the Nharqis'I, and this creature was also known as the Nharqis'I. (TFNR, OWS)

Nhar'qual
Named for an Old Corellian term which literally meant "dark death," this huge sand well was found within the Adsila Rifts of Socorro. It was rumored to be bottomless, and the original colonists used it as an exeuction site. The rift was too narrow to fly a starship into, but sensor probes launched into the rift have transmitted froma depth of 450 kilometers before they were lost. (BSS)

Nharwaak
The Nharwaak were one of the two predominant civilizations found on Mylok IV. Together with their neighbors, the Habeen, the Nharwaak developed a small hyperdrive system that could enable a TIE Fighter to have supralight capabilities. The Nharwaak population, however, was decidedly against selling the technology to the Empire, during the weeks that followed the Battle of Hoth. A number of battles erupted in the Mylok System as Imperial forces led by Admiral Zaarin tried to obtain the hyperdrive technology. When the Habeen sold the technology to the Empire, the Nharwaaks attempted to get the technology to the Alliance, but their intentions were discovered by the Imperials, and the Nharwaak fleet was destroyed. Although the Empire claimed victory, the Nharwaak were able to regroup and launch a reprisal attack on a Habeen base. (TIE, TIEP)

Nhazz
Nhazz was a fighter for the Alliance and the New Republic, and was probably the brother of Uz Bonearm. (DE2)

NhM Track
This was the slang term used by Imperial personnel to refer to the Non-huMan bias of the Empire. This term was never used in public, since it brought to light the fact that the Imperial military was decidedly pro-human, and promoted humans over aliens at almost every turn. (XWN)

Nhor, Ezam
This Ithorian was one of the many Jedi Knights who were trained by the new Jedi order's academy on Ossus, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He was also a liaison to the Council of Ithorian Elders. In an effort to acquire a new home for his people, Ezam Nhor petitioned the Reconstruction Authority to locate a habitable planet, but his requests were often misrouted or simply lost. So, rather than waiting around for the government, Ezam Nhor called in a favor from Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han. The Solos agreed to independently search out a planet for the Ithorians, with the hope of finding it before one of the larger corporate teams did. They believed that Borao would be the ideal world, but RePlanetHab jumped their claim and turned the planet over to the Galactic Alliance. (DN1)

Nhoras
This alien race had a 600-year-old feud with the Clatear race, a feud which five generations of Jedi Knights couldn't resolve. When the Empire took control of the galaxy, they subjugated the Clatear whule leaving the Nhoras relatively alone. Thus, when the revelation of the Caamas Document brought the feud to a head once more, the Nhoras were unrpepared for the Clatears' initial attacks. They began hiring mercenaries - most notably the Dhashaan Shield - to protect them from harm. (SOP)

Nia
This young girl was one of the many Jedi students who were being transported to safety by Hurd Coyle, during the weeks following the end of the Clone Wars and the so-called Jedi Rebellion. While sneaking around Coyle's ship, Nia encountered the clone trooper pilot who had been rescued by the salvager. Like the other students, she wasn't sure if she could trust the clone, given the events that followed the execution of Order 66. The children were nearly discovered when an Imperial cruiser intercepted Coyle's ship and demanded to see its cargo holds. The rescued clone came to their rescue, explaining that he had been rescued by Coyle, and that the ship was otherwise empty. (CWA9)

Niango
This was one of the larger cities established on the planet Felucia by Gossam settlers. It was the site of a water processing facility during the height of the Clone Wars. Niango was also the site of a Separatist research facility that produced military-grade nerve toxins from the natural chemicals produced by Felucia's plantlife. These toxins were to be deployed during the Clone Wars. Although the facility was destroyed by a unit of the Grand Army of the Republic, the Republic was forced to withdraw from Felucia, and Niango was retaken by the Separatists without a fight. (SWDB)

Niathal, Cha
This female Mon Calamari served as an Admiral in the naval forces of the Galactic Alliance, during the years following the war with the Yuuzhan Vong. A native of Reef Home City, Niathal's military skills and abilities earned her the recognition of her superior officers, and she was appointed to serve as one of Supreme Commander Pellaeon's advisors. In this capacity, she was asked to analyze the possible outcomes of the disabling or destruction of Centerpoint Station on the psyche of the Corellian people, some forty years after the Battle of Yavin, when Thrackan Sal-Solo again threatened to use the station as a weapon.

Known for her icy demeanor and scathing tongue, Admiral Niathal was the exact opposite of the image left behind by Admiral Ackbar. Thus, she was excited about a plan that was proposed by Jedi Master Luke Skywalker to capture Sal-Solo and extradite him to Coruscant, where he could stand trial for his role in the death of Aidel Saxan. This plan was never brought o fruition, and Admiral Niathal was forced to watch as Cal Omas brought the galaxy closer and closer to a war with Corellia.

When Supreme Commander Pellaeon decided to retire in opposition to the formation of the Galactic Alliance Guard, Admiral Niathal was promoted to fill his position, giving her complete command of the Galactic Alliance's military forces. Her hardline military stance on most issues worried many Senators and political advisors, especially after she developed a strong relationship with Jacen Solo. Once in a position of command, Niathal began making plans to succeed Cal Omas as the Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance.

Unknown to Niathal, however, was the fact that her association with Jacen Solo was much more than a meeting of similar minds. Solo, as he began his turn toward the Dark Side of the Force, recognized that an alliance with a high-ranking military official would make his pown plans that much easier to implement.

It was Commander Niathal, acting on behalf of the entire Galactic Alliance Defense Force, who began moving warships into blockade positions around the Corellian System, without the assent of either Chief of State Omas or the Senate. Although historians argued whether this act preciptated the onset of the so-called Corellia-GA War, Admiral Niathal remained in control of the GA's military forces during the campaign against Corellia and The Confederation. She personally led the assault on The Confederation's meeting at Gilatter Eight, flying the reconditioned flagship Galactic Voyager, in honor of her mentor, Admiral Ackbar. However, the GA was unaware that Gilatter Eight was a trap that had been seyt up by the new Supreme Commander of The Confederation, Turr Phennir. Only the telepathic warning of Jacen Solo saved her forces, as it was picked up by Luke Skywalker and relayed to the rest of the fleet, just before it entered a minefield that had been laid in Gilatter Eight's atmosphere.

In the wake of the disaster at Gilatter Eight, Niathal was forced to acknowledge that the Galactic Alliance might not survive a war against the Confederation. She ran several simulations, both military and political, most of which showed a sudden collapse of the GA at some point in the near future, if planets continued to secede. Her confidence in Cal Omas' leadership continued to erode, and she came to worry more and more about the actions of Jacen Solo, but she strived to maintain her solely military role for the good of the Alliance. Secretly, however, she came to despise Jacen, and began to seriously consider taking over the leadership of the Galactic Alliance so that she could eliminate the threat he posed to the galaxy.

Still, she was surprised when Jacen suggested that they remove Cal Omas from power, after Solo revealed that Omas had been meeting with Dur Gejjen to arrange a cease-fire of their own. In a series of swift and covert actions, Jacen invoked the very laws he had amended to have Omas placed under arrest, and Niathal found herself in the position of acting Chief of State. For her own part, Niathal wanted everything to be done by the book, so that her ascencion to power was legitimate. She fully expected to be later elected by popular vote to the position of Chief of State, and set out to do everything in her power to earn the position. One of her first acts was to seal Omas' former office as a reminder that no being had yet been duly elected to fill the role of Chief of State. To make it even more obvious that she was not taking over the galaxy, she adopted the title Chief of Staff and let Jacen Solo assume the Chief of State role.

In this position, Niathal retained complete control of the Galactic Alliance's military forces, although she was often preempted by Solo's own little battles. When he broke off the Battle of Kuat and took the Fifth Fleet to Kashyyyk, Niathal refused to send any reinforcements. She claimed that Admirals Nek Bwua'tu and Gavin Darklighter were needed to protect the Core from attack, while secretly hoping that Solo would get himself killed at Kashyyyk. When this did not happen, Niathal forced herself to continue working with Jacen, and agreed to send a portion of the Second Fleet to accompany him at a rendezvous with Corellian leaders. The rendezvous was supposed to have been a negotiation for Corellia's return to the Galactic Alliance, but was actually a trap that was meant to assassinate Jacen. The Corellians fired the Centerpoint Station repulsor at the rendezvous point, hoping to destroy the Anakin Solo. While the blast decimated warships from both sides, Jacen managed to survive. Admiral Niathal was not pleased with the loss of the Second Fleet, and only grudgingly accepted Jacen's explanation of what actually happened at the rendezvous.

When Jacen suggested that she sent a task force to the Corellian System to destroy Centerpoint Station, Niathal went along with the idea, if only to have the station removed as a potential threat. When she learned of Solo's murder of Lieutenant Tebut, Niathal believed that she needed to do everything she could to eliminate Jacen. She began secretly feeding information on his activities to Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker, in an effort to provide the Jedi Order with knowledge they could use to bring Jacen to justice. In the wake of the assault on Centerpoint Station, Admiral Niathal also had to deal with Kral Nevil's displeasure with Solo, since Nevil's son had died in the attack. Nevil asked Niathal to make sure that his son's death wasn't one of the many that were wasted in order for Jacen to take over the galaxy.

As the war ground on, Admiral Niathal began to question the nature of the war, since it seemed that everything she tried to do ended up hurting someone else. She had leaked information about Jacen's plans to attack Fondor to Master Skywalker, and the Fondorians had used it to destroy the minelaying vessels that preceded the Fourth Fleet. The loss of lives required to undermine Jacen's efforts and remove him from power weighed on Naithal, and she began to feel unworthy of her uniform. She began to understand that she had to remove Jacen Solo from power, but had no idea how many of the military's officers would support her in taking sole control of the galaxy. Her mental state didn't improve when Jacen admitted that he was a Sith Lord known as Darth Caedus, since she understood little about the various factions of Force users, other than the fact that the Jedi and the Sith were often on opposite sides of many wars.

During the Second Battle of Fondor, Admiral Niathal tried to go along with Solo's battle plans, but was unprepared for his use of battle meditation with the other warship commanders. Her surprise turned to shock when he took the Anakin Solo and broke away from the main fleet to being bombarding Fondorian cities from orbit. After negotiating a cease-fire with the Fondorian President, Admiral Niathal opened a general fleet communications channel and publicly relieved Solo of his command. Solo refused to acknowledge the order, prompting a brief struggle between Galactic Alliance warships. The Imperial forces which had arrived to support the Galactic Alliance also opened fire on Solo, forcing him to regroup and flee back to Coruscant in order to fortify his own position.

Recognizing that she would be unable to unseat Solo once he returned to Coruscant, Admiral Niathal assumed a leadership position over any commanders who remained loyal to her, and worked with Shas Vadde and the Fondorians to establish a government-in-exile that stood opposed to Solo's rulership of the galaxy.

The smoky by-product that results from the burning of t'bac. (TME)

Nickel One
This was one of the many asteroids found in the Roche Asteroid Field. It also served as the adopted homeworld of the Verpine race, in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Most of the Verpine's munitions production came from Nickel One, making it a prime target for outsiders. More than a decade after the Yuuzhan Vong were defeated, the Verpine invited the Mandalorians to establish their own base on Nickel One, after the two groups joined forces in a mutual-aid treaty. The idea was to have the Mandalorian presence on the asteroid serve as a deterrant to any force that might want to invade the Roche Asteroid Field. Unfortunately, this plan proved to be ineffective, as a group of Imperial warships quickly subdued the asteroid's defenses and landed on its surface. Then, the Imperial forces deployed a nano-technology virus that was similar to the Fizz, but targetted only the warrior caste of the Verpines. In this way, the Imperials planned to save as many workers and technicians as possible to help them get Nickel One's munitions factories back online as soon as possible.

However, the Imperial presence in the Roche Asteroid Field brought an instant response from the Galactic Alliance, as Darth Caedus himself arrived to make sure that the Moff Council understood that they were not to be making attacks without his involvement. Boba Fett and the Mandalorians also launched a retaliatory attack, in order to honor their mutual-aid treaty with the Verpine. This attack coincided with a Jedi attack on Darth Caedus, during which the fleets controlled by Admirals Daala and Cha Niathal arrived to await the outcome and see what spoils they could claim. Not to be cut off from a primary munitions source, several planetary fleets from The Confederation arrived shortly afterward, hoping to take advantage of the situation to destroy Caedus and take the Roche Asteroid Field for themselves.

Nict
This man served the Galactic Alliance military as an Admiral in the Navy, during the years leading up to the Battle of Caamas. Admiral Nict was in command of the Pride of Corellia, which was part of the Core Fleet, and served under Admiral Gar Stazi. When the Galactic Alliance's forces were decimated during the Imperial attacks that occurred simultaneous to the attack at Caamas, Admiral Nict was one of the first to obey Stazi's call for a retreat. However, he questioned the Admiral's plans to jump blindly into hyperspace, fearing that the Imperial forces had mined all the known escape routes. Stazi's crew found a little-used but dangerous vector, and began relaying the coordinates to the fleet. However, Nict's hestitation meant that Imperial warships were able to fire on the Pride of Corellia before it could join the Indomitable, and the ship was swiftly destroyed. Admiral Nict and all hands aboard were killed in the resulting explosion. (SWLI)

Nicta
This was one of the many small creatures Jacen Solo kept in his collection at the Jedi academy on Yavin 4. Nicta was a gort, and resembled a bright blue ball of feather-like fur. Jacen chose the name Nicta because the gort blinked quite often after it had hatched. (TCC, CCR, DIV)

Nictoh, Wilyam
This white-haired man worked as a security officer for the CreedCon Construction company on Cularin, during the final years of the Old Republic. Nictoh and his crew were dispatched to investigate the disappearance of a construction crew that was working on the bridge portion of the racecourse facility that Thaedius Creed was building, after the builders accidentally opened the cave that imprisoned the t'salak. The security team was eventually rescued by the freelance adventurers hired by Creed to locate the construction crew. (FOC1)

Nield
This young man, a native of Melida/Daan, was the leader of The Young when Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived on their planet to seach out Tahl. His parents were Daan, although he had disavowed any affiliation to either faction. His father, Micae, led his three oldest sons into battle. Micae was forced to leave Nield home because he was too young at the time. All four men were killed in an unremembered battle. His mother was killed shortly afterward, and Nield lived with his cousin. His cousin was killed shortly afterward in another struggle for control of Zehava, and she was just seventeen at the time. He joined The Young after meeting Cerasi and understanding why she lived apart from her parents. Nield's skills in battle and his ability to ecognize and teach strategy earned him the position of the leader of The Young. He agreed to help the two Jedi locate and rescue Tahl, creating a diversion while Cerasi led the Jedi to Tahl's position. Nield used the animosity between the Daan and the Melida to create the illusion of a Daan attack on a Melida sector. The feint was successful, and The Young eventually defeated their elders. Nield was named governor of Zehava, but was unaccustomed to leadership during peaceful times. He demanded that the Halls of Evidence be destroyed, despite a lack of support from his cabinet and to the exclusion of other, more vital activities like providing food and shelter for the inhabitants of Zehava. His resolve was shattered when Cerasi and Obi-Wan petitioned for the cessation of the destruction, and The Young began to splinter along many different lines. After Cerasi's death, Nield exiled Obi-wan from The Young. However, when Obi-Wan revealed Mawat's plans to oust Nield from power, he decided to avenge Cerasi's death by re-establishing peace. He and Obi-Wan managed to defeat Mawat's forces when Qui-Gon showed them all a hologram of Cerasi, pleading for peace shortly before her death. Nield then agreed to form a more cooperative government, working in concert with the Daan and Melida elders to rule the planet. (DOD, UP)

Nierport Seven
The seventh moon of Eeropha, Nierport Seven was located in the Core Worlds, not far from Coruscant. It was a cold world, with just a single warm month each year. The surface was rocky, dotted with clumps of a thorny, flowering plant. Nierport Seven was unremarkble, except for the fact that Eeropha and its system was a major refueling station for ships destined for Coruscant. (JQ4)

Nie-Tan, Tieren
This horse-faced Jedi Knight was a contemporary of Jude Rozess and Theen Fida. He was on guard when the Yinchorri invaded the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. He and Rozess were the primary guards on duty at the time, and were caught by the sheer numbers of Yinchorri warriors. (AOW)

This planet was located in the Wyloff Sector, in the Colonies region of the galaxy. (CRO)

Niffla
This female Toydarian served as part of the support staff aboard the Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer Relentless, some seven years after the Battle of Caamas. It was Niffla who overheard Gial Gahan's plans to steal the warship Imperious, and relayed this information to Admiral Valan. Despite the fact that Gahan's plans fit in with Valan's own plans to destroy the Galactic Alliance, he had Niffla thrown into the brig in order to prevent her from inadvertently leaking the information to the Galactic Alliance. (SWLI)

Nig
This Gotal was a member of the Rancors gang, during the period before the Battle of Naboo.

This planet was located in Kira Sector. (SS)

Nigel IV
The fourth planet in the Nigel System, this world was located along the Enarc Run. The natives of Nigel IV were a peaceful people, and only formed a republican government at the insistence of the natives during the New Order. It was at this time that Nigel IV became involved with galactic trade, and the influx of travelers and spacers brought crime to the world. The laws and penal system of Nigel IV have been very strict since the Galactic Civil War, and have been successful in keeping the planet crime-free. A cool planet covered with flat plains and vast glaciers, Nigel IV rotates once every 20 standard hours, and orbits its star once every 325 local days. (TSK)

Night Beast
This huge, humanoid creature was left behind by the Massassi to keep Yavin 4 safe until they could return. It was depicted in The Sith War as a huge, red-skinned humanoid with skied scales and horns, while Classic Star Wars depicts it as a large, fish-like humanoid with sharp claws and fangs. Classic Star Wars holds that the ancient Massassi created the beast to guard the temples against an enemy takeover, but The Sith War simply showed Exar Kun and the Massassi placing it in the depths of the Great Temple as a guardian. Originally a Massassi Warrior named Kalgrath, the night beast was held in suspended animation until Admiral Griff launched his atack on the Alliance base on Yavin 4. A TIE Bomber crashed on moon, penetrating the Great Temple's lower levels and cracking the beast's suspended animation capsule open. It then began to roam the tunnels of the temple, destroying Alliance equipment in what it believed was the fulfilment of its purpose. It had some use of the Force, and used it to shield itself from energy weapons. When Luke Skywalker discovered the creature, he and R2-D2 were able to drive it away by using the Force to lure the beast into a space transport. They had programmed the transport for auto-jump, and once the night beast was inside, they initiated the launch sequence. The beast was sent into hyperspace. One of the random jumps performed by the transport brought the beast back to Alliance space. This time, through the Force, Luke explained that the beast would eventually find its former masters by getting onto the transport. (CSW, TSW, EGA)

Night Blades Squadron
This starfighter unit, led by Saba Sebatyne and made up of Jedi Knights, was part of the Galactic Alliance First Fleet's starfighter compliment during the defense of Kuat, at the height of the Alliance's war against The Confederation. Like the Shadow Saber and Dark Sword Squadrons, the Shadow Sabers abandoned the Kuat battlefield and joined Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker in defecting from the Galactic Alliance. After regrouping at Kashyyyk, the Jedi were attacked by Jacen Solo and the Alliance's Fifth Fleet, forcing the squadrons back into battle. The Night Blades were the first to suffer casualties, as the Vulnerator was able to pinpoint their stealth fighters and shoot down three ships. (LF6)

Night Caller
One of the CR90 corvettes under the command of Apwar Trigit, the Night Caller was heavily modified from its original specifications during its initial design. The bow was widened and much of it gutted to allow for a small TIE fighter hangar, while the topside hold had been enlarged to act as storage hold for skimmers. One of the turbolaser turrets on the bow was replaced with a capital-ship tractor beam. The Night Caller was dispatched to destroy the New Republic's base on Folor using Empion mines. While it succeeded in knocking out much of the base, the Night Caller was captured when the Wraith Squadron pilots created the Lunatic and lured the Night Caller in to capture it. Voort saBinring was hidden inside, and when the Lunatic was drawn into the ship's hold, he managed to take control of the bridge and take the ship for the New Republic. The crew was so taken by the surprise of Voort's attack, that they didn't wipe out its computer memory banks, nor did they get off a distress call to Trigit. The Night Caller's flight logs led the Wraiths to several of Zsinj's holdings. Since the warlord and Trigit were unaware that the ship had been captured, Wedge Antilles and Choday Hrakness continued to respond to their orders, and then had the Wraiths fly in after and seemlingly attack them. The Night Caller was later reassigned to another Republic flight group and renamed the Ession Strike. (WS, IF)

Night Creatures
Alchemical beasts created during Exar Kun's rule on Yavin 4, these hideous winged reptiles have yellow eyes on each of two heads. Each head sprouts from its own neck.

Night Gyre
This Z-95 Headhunter was ostensibly owned by Darrus Jeht, during the last years of the Old Republic, despite the fact that the Jedi Knights were not allowed to have possessions of their own. The Night Gyre had been purchased by the Almas Academy and loaned to Jeht when he was a student in need of transport. The ship simply remainer with Jeht, wherever he traveled, and became source of personal pride for him because the ship always came out of a fight relatively intact. The only problem he was unable to resolve was an intermittent sensor ghost caused by a collision with an asteroid before Darrus had taken possession of it. Regradless of how often Jeht replaced the sensors, the "ghost" remained. After several attempts, Jeht stopped trying to fix it, and simply considered it part of the ship's charm. (LFCW)

Night Hammer
This was the name of the Super-class Star Destroyer that Delvardus had been building in secret, using intense amounts of Imperial funding to create it.

Night Herald
This was a figure in the legends of the Colony. According to the Killiks, the story of the Night Herald was used to make larvae regurgitate. Some six years after the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, the name of the Night Herald was adopted by Alema Rar, after the death of Welk on Kr during the Qoribu Crisis. According to the former Jedi, BedaGorog was the original Night Herald, until she was killed on Kr by Luke Skywalker. After BedaGorog's death, Alema herself became the Night Herald of the Gorog hive. This story contradicted the truth as Luke understood it, as he knew that he had actually killed Welk on Kr. Whatever the truth, Alema Rar believed that it was her job to ensure that the rest of the galaxy did not interfere with the work of the Colony or the Gorog. (DN2)

Night-demon
This species of creature had razor-sharp talons that deliver a burning poison to flesh. (TPS)

Nightdevil
Native to Goroth Prime, this predatory creature lived in the mountainous regions of the planet. These creatures were actually primitive relatives of the modern Gorothites, having branched off from the same evolutionary path many millennia before the Battle of Yavin. During the era of the New Order, nightdevils were quite rare, mainly because their habitats had been destroyed by the mining operations which covered the planet. As their name implied, nightdevils hunted primarily at night, using their heightened senses to locate the lairs of clawcats and other large prey. These creatures were considered semi-intelligent by many xenobiologists, but their intelligence was based solely on hunting tactics. (GSE)

Nightdweller
This was one of the largest predators found in the jungles of Kashyyyk. Nightdwellers were known to have killed Kashyyyk banthas as prey. (GMR4)

Yoda and a pair of Padawans had been attacked on Phindar, and were forced to improvise a way to reach Vjun. After taking a rental ship to reach Jovan, they were able to purchase the Nighthawk from a scrapyard. With a little work, the ship was able to get them to Vjun without much trouble. Yoda put the two Padawans - Whie Malreaux and Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy - to work on the repairs, in an effort to take their minds away from the deaths of their Masters at Phindar. (YDR)

Nighthunter
This four-legged predator was distinguished by its long, powerful legs, whiplike tail, and fanged jaws. However, individuals could vary greatly in appearance, with the variations coming in coloration and shape. Many xenobiologists believed that the nighthunter was descended from another species. In general, nighthunters were hairless, covered with scales which could deflect a blaster bolt. These creatures had a slight connection to the Force which allowed them to cloud the mind of their prey, so that they could sneak up and attack it. During the height of the Old Republic, many nighthunters were exported for use as guard animals, but they proved to be impossible to train and had to be exterminated. A byproduct of their connection to the Force was the way in which a nighthunter bonded with another Force-sensitive being. When the bonding occurs, the nighthunter literally accepts the individual as a member of it family, defending it to the death if necessary. In the wild, nighthunters mate for life, and they could live to be fifty years of age. (PJSB)

This attraction was found on Hologram Fun World. As an amusement attraction, the machine allowed visitors to enter a large room that was initially dark. As the visitors entered, the machine scanned their brain to discover their worst fears. It then displays a vividly-accurate hologram of those fears. It was discovered that the machine was the creation of Borborygmus Gog, and was used to quell rebellious individuals. This was all part of Project Starscream, and the machine was an experiment aimed at providing Gog with a way to use a being's deepest fears as a weapon against them. The Nightmare Machine itself was actually a bioengineered construct, genetically created by Gog. This technology was eventually modified to create the biological weapon known as Eppon, which Gog used against several Alliance soldiers on the planet Kiva. (GOF4, GOF6)

Named for the vicious avians which inhabit it, this semi-tropical moon was located in the Pella System of Tapani Sector. (TSIA)

Nightsisters
A clan of Dark Side witches on Dathomir, the Nightsisters were created by Gethzerion following her own exile. It was rumored that Palpatine feared their power, so he had the planet interdicted and used atmospheric bombardment to destroy any ships on the planet. They were noticeable by the way the blood vessels near their eyes have ruptured from their rage, and from their use of the Dark Side. They made a deal with the Imperial Warlord Zsinj for a transport ship with which they could escape Dathomir, but they were destroyed by Luke, Han, and Leia just as their ship tried to leave Dathomir. (CPL, CTD)

Nightstinger
This weapon, produced by Xerrol, was a model of sniper's blaster rifle. It was well-known among weapons experts for the fact that it fires an invisible bolt. Despite this advantage, the weapon had several drawbacks. First, a canister of the special blster gas it required cost well over 1,000 credits. Second, each canister had only enough gas for up to five shots before it had to be replaced. Lastly, the canisters were specially designed, and only fit in certain weapons. It was created by the Empire for use in taking out specific targets. (SOP)

Nightstrike Solider Hegemony
This paramilitary band of mercenaries, known for its humans-only membership requirement, was loyal to the Empire during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Based in the hills outside the city of Dearic, on Talus, the Nightstrike Soldier Hegemony served as a ersatz recruiting office for individuals who wanted to join the Imperial forces, but were unable to pass the rigorous entrance exams. By joining the Hegemony, they could fight for the Empire without having to fully enlist. (SWGAL)

However, the nightvision afforded by the Nightview was far superior to other, similar units on the market at the time. (MCT2)

NightWhispers
This was the name used by one of the Empire's most elite stormtrooper units. A unit of the Storm Commandos, they were sent into the field whenever incredible stealth was required to gain access to an enemy target. (ROE)

Nightwing
This was the callsign of a member of the Thaereian Navy, during the height of the Clone Wars. He originally joined the military to protect his homeworld, although he was one of the few soldiers who truly understood that protection often meant taking the fight to a superior enemy. His beliefs were challenged when he was confronted by Commander Kulkis, who tested Nightwing's resolve by drawing a knife on the soldier. Nightwing was prepared for the attack, and managed to twist the knife into a position where it stabbed into Kulkis' chest when they fell to the ground. Nightwing believed that he had passed whatever test Kulkis had meant for him, although Kulkis' final words caused him to question the need to continue defending Thaere. Many of the Cularin newsnets were abuzz with activity after an account of Nightwing's actions were posted, and many believed that Nightwing was actually Osten Dal'Nay. (LFCW)

Nihil Retreat
This collection of twelve galactic sectors was located in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. These sectors surrounded the Perann Nebula, and were believed to have been under the control of the Sorcerers of Rhand. (LSSM)

Nihilus, Darth
This being was one of three surviving Sith Lords, along with Darth Traya and Darth Sion, who survived the Jedi Civil Wars and fled to Malachor V, nearly 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil war. Darth Nihilus was known as the Lord of Hunger, and was noted for his ability to literally consume the Force energy of his victims, which was used to sustain his own life energies. It was rumored that he could consume the Force energy of an entire planet.

His early history was unclear, and many historians wondered if was was actually a Sith Lord before he arrived on Malachor V. It was believed that he might simply have been a survivor of the Mandalorian Wars who ended up being stranded on Malachor V. What was know for sure was that he was taken in by Darth Traya and trained in the ways of the Sith, until he had attained enough power to earn the title of Darth Nihilus. From the depths of the Trayus Academy, they planned to finally wipe out the Jedi and take control of the galaxy for the Sith.

It was Darth Nihilus and his student, Visas Marr, who discovered the existence of The Exile, and Nihilus recognized the threat that the formet Jedi posed to the Sith. He ordered Visas Marr to bring The Exile to him, but she chose to join The Exile rather than betray him. In the meantime, Darth Nihilus led his Sith forces from his flagship, the Ravager, drawing more and more power from worlds that he blasted into ruin. It was on the mission to destroy Telos that Darth Nihilus was finally confronted by The Exile and his team.

Although Darth Nihilus managed to stun The Exile, he was unprepared for the devotion of his former pupil, Visas Marr, to the young man. Visas tried to exchange her life for that of The Exile, giving the former Jedi time to recover from his lapse. Together, they confronted Darth Nihilus. The Sith Lord was no match for their combined might, and he fell in battle to them. As he died, Darth Nihilus' body seemed to melt away into nothing, as he somehow managed to encase his spirit in his battle armor. When this armor was transported to Korriban for burial, his spirit traveled with it, and the connection to Korriban's Dark Side nexus allowed the spirit of Darth Nihilus to maintain contact with the physical world.

Darth Nihilus' spirit remained hidden on Korriban for millennia, until Darth Krayt discovered a Sith holocron that allowed him to commune with Nihilus and other Sith spirits. Darth Krayt hoped to learn more of the ancient secrets of Sith power, but the many Sith spirits refused to simply turn over the information. Many spirits believed that Krayt was little more than a pretender, and that so-called Rule of One was only diluting the power of the Sith, rather than concentrating it. (KOTOR2, UVG, SWLB)

Nihl, Darth
This Nagai was one of the few members of his race to embrace the Force, although he chose to follow the path to the Dark Side of the Force when he became one of Darth Krayt's primary supporters. Darth Nihl himself was a former warlord who controlled a large portion of the Unknown Regions, and was easily distinguished by his pale, corpse-like skin and facial tattoos. However, the fact that he was not born and raised as a Sith often meant that he was left out of key assignments, a fact that did not sit well with him. After joining Darth Krayt's Sith Order, Darth Nihl served as Krayt's Fist before becoming one of Krayt's "hands," although it was said that his promotion only happened because Darth Talon was not ready to serve when his predecessor died. It was Darth Nihl who led the assault that became known as the Massacre at Ossus, in which the forces of the Sith destroyed the Jedi temple on the planet and killed nearly every Jedi Knight they encountered, including Kol Skywalker. Although fully loyal to Darth Krayt, Darth Nihl was jealous of the fact that his Master chose several other "hands," including the voluptuous Darth Talon. Thus, when Darth Talon requested back-up for her mission to capture Imperial Princess Marasiah Fel on Vendaxa, Darth Nihl gladly accepted the mission, hoping to earn his Master's complete trust.

On Vendaxa, Darth Nihl confronted his old nemisis, Jedi Master Wolf Sazen. Having taken Sazen's right arm on Ossus years before, Darth Nihl was more than happy to complete the job on Vendaxa. However, he was unprepared for the sudden appearance of Cade Skywalker, who had taken up Marasiah's lightsaber and held off the Sith long enough for his crew and the Imperials to escape aboard the Mynock. Darth Nihl then commanded that Darth Talon return to Coruscant and report on her failure, knowing fully that he might soon be the only remaining "hand" to serve Darth Krayt. He believed his position was made even stronger when Darth Talon was unable to defeat Cade in combat, when the former Jedi traveled to Coruscant to rescue Hosk Trey'lis. Skywalker had beaten her down, and would have killed her if Darth Nihl hadn't intervened. He wished to kill the Jedi, just to prove his own strength, but acceded to Darth Krayt's command to bring Skywalker in alive. His frustration only increased shortly after Skywalker's capture, when he was ordered to stay away from the interrogations. Darth Nihl spent his time in Darth Maladi's torture chamber, working to break Trey'lis and learn anything the Bothan would divulge. He openly spoke of his concerns about Darth Krayt, fearing that their master would die without Skywalker's help, and worrying that Skywalker was being groomed as Darth Krayt's successor. Although Skywalker had not yet embraced the Sith ways, Darth Nihl believed that he would eventually do so.

In the days that followed, Skywalker was ordered by Darth Krayt to kill Hosk Trey'lis in order to prove his devotion to the Sith Order. Skywalker refused, and Darth Krayt cut the Bothan down as punishment. Skywalker then took up his father's lightsaber and confronted the Sith, killing Darth Talon before attacking Darth Nihl. Darth Krayt urged him on, pointing out the fact that it had been Darth Nihl who killed Kol Skywalker. Cade cut off Darth Nihl's right hand, and would have killed him with a blast of Force lightning, but he refused to give in Darth Krayt's commands to finish Darth Nihl. Skywalker left Darth Nihl to bleed, then turned to confront Darth Krayt. Skywalker's comrades arrived before he could finish Krayt, and the former Jedi escaped with his life. It was Darth Maladi who collected Darth Nihl's damaged arm, but although she believed it could be re-attached, Darth Krayt ordered that a Yuuzhan Vong-created replacement should be used instead. Krayt believed that the Vong arm would serve as a constant reminder of Darth Nihl's failure. Krayt also demoted Darth Nihl form the ranks of his Hands, until such time as Nihl could regain his Master's trust.

Darth Maladi took Darth Nihl to her underground laboratory, where she preserved his life by placing him in a specially-designed bacta tank. (SWI88, SWLB, SWLC, SWLH, SWLL, SWLIC)

This well-known crimelord operated a bold and fearless smuggling operation from a base on the planet Aargau, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. His smugglers were known for their bravery - or stupidity, depending on how one looked at things. Li-Suun himself was hard for authorities to pinpoint, and the name Li-Suun Niik was probably an alias. He had cultivated several contacts within the Bank of Aargau, although his contacts were unaware of his true identity. What was known was that Li-Suun and his smugglers used a variety of methods to smuggle precious metals off the planet, including surgically attaching sheets of gold to bones. Unknown to most beings, Li-Suun was also somewhat sensitive to the Force, although he was self-trained. (PH, MC48)

Niiliisi, Granz
This middle-aged man was the leader of the Massa Family criminal organization on the planet Ukio, during the early years of the New Order.

Nijune Treasure Fleet
This traveling starship caravan was rumored to have been one of the most wondrous and valuable sets of ships ever put together during the Old Republic. The Fleet was ambushed by Hez Kragg, the so-called Dread Buccaneer, shortly before Kragg was dispatched by a Jedi Knight. Centuries later, Jonas Durns discovered the location of the Kragg's Fury, which was rumored to contain the riches of the Fleet in its holds. Durns learned of the Fleet's location from Sig Coven, and hired a group of freelance scouts to find it. (SWJ7)

Jango Fett claimed the bounty shortly afterward, durnig a mission to Tatooine to seek an audience with Jabba the Hutt. (BH)

Nikto
This was the native langauge shared by all five races of Nikto. (UANT)

Nikto
This race of reptilian humanoids evolved into five distinct races on their home planet of Kintan. They were an ancient species, being one of the three races signed into servitude to the Hutts as part of the Treaty of Vontor, during the Hutts' battles against Xim the Despot. The average Nikto, despite their individual race, shared several characteristics with its cousins. They were often very soft-spoken, preferring to use their physical appearance to intimidate other beings. Very little emotion was displayed on their faces, and a simple fluttering of their mouth flaps represented the closest thing to a smile.

The Nikto were characterized by their leathery skin, reptilian eyes, and fierce temperments. The skin of a Nikto was made up up thousands of overlapping scales, which could be shifted to cover wounds to protect them from infection. All five races were genetically capable of interbreeding, although ninety-three percent of the offspring from such unions resembled only one of the parents. Those few individuals who exhibited the characteristics of both parents were often ostracized and abused as mixed breeds, and were often forced to find work offplanet.

There were a number of environmental and geological changes that greatly affected life on Kintan, causing the once-singular Nikto race to evolve its five unique races. Chief among these changes was the radiation expelled by the nearby star, M'dweshuu, which held a significant place in Nikto mythology. The Red Nikto, called Kajain'sa'Nikto, evolved in the deserts. They had ridged foreheads, with eight small horns around the eyes, and two at the chin. They breathed through a permeable membrane that covered their mouths, as well as through four breather tubes on their necks. The Green Nikto, known as Kadas'sa'Nikto, evolved in the forests. They were visibly scaled, with obvious noses and small horns ringing their eyes. The Mountain Nikto were called Esral'sa'Nikto, and had smooth skin. Their ears were large and fin-shaped, designed to be extended or pulled flat to regulate body heat and enhance hearing. They also had a nasal membrane similar to the Red Nikto. The Pale Nikto, called Gluss'sa'Nikto, were found in the islands of the planet. They resembled the Green Nikto, with fin-like ears. The last race, called M'shento'su'Nikto or Southern Nikto, lacked any horns but had a number of breather tubes at various points on their skulls.

The inner strength and fierce nature of the Nikto species in general was honed over millennia of survival against the predators of Kintan. This led to four intense civil wars which nearly destroyed Kintan some thirty years before the Nikto helped the Hutts defeat Xim, years before the formation of the Old Republic. After Xim was defeated, the Hutts then distributed the Nikto to various worlds as bodyguards and strongmen.

On Kintan, the Nikto races developed atomic-level technology on their own, and absorbed other galactic technology from the Hutts. Because of the Treaty of Vonter, the Nikto remained under Hutt control for over 25,000 years, and for the most part they remained neutral throughout the various battles of the Galactic Civil War. Because of this, many Nikto individuals who were sensitive to the Force remained undiscovered by the Jedi Knights, although a few Nikto escaped slavery to become Jedi. (E6, TOJ, GG12, SWJ6, E2, GMR6, MJH, NEGA, CN1)

Qui-Gon Jinn managed to use Nil's anger as a lever, and managed to escape twice from under Nil's guard. Luckily for Nil, he was caught by Zan Arbor each time. Unluckily for Nil, Zan Arbor grew tired of his inability to contain the Jedi, and injected the Quint with a lethal dose of drugs. (EVE, TDR)

NIL-8
This assassin droid was employed by Moff Bandor to wander the Game Chambers of Questal and remove the prisoners placed in them. Humanoid in form, NIL-8 was coated with a matte-black finish that reduces glare and reflection. NIL-8's head resembles a large set of macrobinoculars, and its vocabulator was located in its chest.

A member of Blade Sqaud, Nilloc was a simple-minded man who lacked true intelligence, a fact that rankled Vegg at every turn. During a stakeout in the city of Toleq Biqua on Genarius, Nilloc's incessant questioning finally became more than Vegg could bear. When Nilloc began firing his weapon out the window at nothing in particular, Vegg shot Nilloc dead. He later reported to the rest of Blade Squad that Nilloc had had an accident. None of the other members of Blade Squad bothered to reprimand Vegg for his actions. (LFCW)

Nilo was purchased by a Rattataki warlord and forced to fight in the gladiator arenas. Despite his rank, Nilo was little more than a brawler, having earned his rank by bribing corrupt Rodisar politicians. He exploits were due primarily to the work of his commanders. Nilo's one and only fight was in The Cauldron against Asajj Ventress, a fight that quickly ended with Nilo's death. (SWDB)

In the wake of the destruction of the first Death Star, the Ni'lyahin Smugglers began salvaging material from the wreckage. Anything and everything the smugglers found was later sold at a huge profit on the black market, allowing them to fight their own kind of war against the Empire. The Ni'lyahin Smugglers established a base of operations in the nearby Ferrous Aurora Nebula, to ensure their salvage rights weren't stolen. The hyperspace and sublight pathways leading to and from the Ni'lyahin Smugglers' base in the Ferrous Aurora Nebula were known as the Smuggler's Run. (SWGAL, SWG2P)

Niman
This style of sword fighting was originally developed by the Royal Macheteros of the Kashi Mer, although it was later claimed by the Legions of Lettow. Named for two groups of three Kashi gods, Niman was a two-handed fighting style that used one blade for offense, while the other could be used for parrying or for additional attacks. After the Legions of Lettow were defeated by the ancient Jedi Knights, the Jedi adopted both the two-handed fighting technique and its name. Over time, Niman became known as Form VI lightsaber combat. Although many Jedi trained in the Niman style to gain basic knowledge of a two-bladed attack, very few ever mastered it completely, and true mastery came only after ten or more years of study and practice. Those that managed to understand the style used it to improve their single-saber combat form. (SWI68, WOTC, VD3, SWGAL, CVD, EGF)

Native to the planet Nimban, they evolved from herbivorous creatures faced with increasingly resilient plant species. They have become highly adept at solving complex puzzles and questions, and turned to mental battles when many races would have initiated wars. They have been instrumental in the Bureau of Ships and Services and various banks throughout the galaxy, although they were once expelled from the BoSS when an ancient Nimbanel threatened to harm a BoSS family. They managed to merge back into the BoSS arena with the help of the Hutts, who regularly employ Nimbanese as accountants and negotiators. (GG12, CCG)

Nimondro
This Hobor was the leader of his people, and represented them at the peace talks conducted by the Tion Hegemony. He had a deep hatred of the Troobs, and chose to speak only Tahlboorean in their presence. This was a ploy by Chief Nimondro, for he could understand and speak fluent Basic, but held onto this trump card to gain the upper hand against the Troobs. Nimondro also controlled Mount Yeroc, and used it to demonstrate his powerful position during the negotiations with Counselor Harthan. His daughter, Larka, was the light of his life, and when she was framed for the murder to Ket Krax, he was furious. When she told him that she was in love with Ket, he realized she was innocent, and prepared to use sky cannon inside Mount Yeroc to defend against an impending Troob attack. However, C-3PO and R2-D2 were able to convince him to let them use the sky cannon for its true purpose while exposing Jake Harthan as the killer. Nimondro then agreed to work with the elder Krax to hammer out a real peace agreement. (DRPC)

Nimondro, Larka
This Hobor was the daughter to Chief Nimondro. She was also in love with a Troob, Ket Krax. The two met often in secret, trying to maintain their relationship in the face of generations of hatred. When Ket was murdered by Jake Harthan, during the height of the New Order, Larka was framed for the murder and accused by General Krax. She fled the scene of Ket's death, but was caught by a huge arachnid which lived in the cave she hid in. R2-D2 and C-3PO managed to free her, and discovered the identity of Ket's true killer. With Larka's help, they convinced Chief Nimondro to let them use Mount Yeroc's sky cannon to communicate with all of Tahlboor. During the message, C-3PO revealed that he had found the murder weapon - a vibro-shiv - at the scene, and reminded all the combatants that Hobors never used vibro-shivs. Jake Harthan became enraged at the discovery and lashed out, only to learn that C-3PO had bluffed him into admitting the crime. After Jake was killed and a war averted between the Troobs and Hobors, a distraught Larka chose to leave Tahlboor for awhile, accompanying Counselor Harthan to the Tion Hegemony to allow her peoples to work out their own peace.

This yellow-scaled Trandoshan male was the head of security for House Hirskaala, on the planet Cularin, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. It was later discovered that Nim'Ri was also one of the founding members of the underground alliance which sprang up on Cularin, in response to the build-up of power by the Metatheran Cartel. Nim'Ri quit his job with House Hirskaala to join the resistance, believing that the freedom of Cularin was much more important than an individual trading concern. Shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars, Nim'ri suddenly disappeared, although rumors began to circulate that he was "headed home." Most natives of Cularin could not believe this rumor, since Nim'Ri had been born on Cularin. They did, however, believe that Nim'Ri had been captured and possibly executed by the Thaereian Military for his rebellious actions. (EOS1, LFCW)

Nine
This was the Neimoidian word for the number 9. (GPB)

Nine Corellian Hells, The
The Corellian people believed that there were nine distinct levels of Hell into which a being would fall, if they were deemed unworthy after death. Many Corellians used an oath similar to "Where in the Nine Corellian Hells am I?" when they were unexpectedly lost. Because Corellians were among the first beings to travel across interstellar distances, other societies eventually picked up the use of the name as a form of mild expletive. (T, CWWS)

Nine Days of Mourning
According to Bellassan tradition, the Nine Days of Mourning were observed after the death of a loved one. Friends and family would gather at the home of the deceased individual's family, and no one would leave for nine days while they mourned their loss. At the end of nine days, the group would emerge and then visit each other's homes for the next nine weeks, helping each other to grieve and recover from the emotional impact of the death. (LJ8)

Niner
This was a common name among the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, referring to the identification number of the clone. (RC66)

Niner
This clone commando - officially known as RC-1309 - was one of the many commandos who survived the Battle of Geonosis. The remainder of his squad was killed in the fighting on Geonosis, and Niner was force-fit into a new squad, known as Omega Squad. He became the leader of Omega Squad, and was able to effectively utilize the skills of each member to their greatest advantage. He led with his actions, although he sometimes tried to lighten up a situation with humor. This usually failed, and his repeated attempts often drew more good-natured laughs than his jokes. Among the other members of the squad, Niner was known for his cool demeanor under fire, and was said to show emotion only when his squad was improperly attired. This trait failed to manifest itself when the squad was sent to Gaftikar to locate the missing ARC Trooper A-30, also known as Sull. Sull was set free by the Null-class trooper A'den, who had been leading the search for Sull. Niner objected to the fact that Sull was allowed to go free, while the rest of the grunts in the Grand Army of the Republic were forced to continue fighting against the Separatists. Although Niner was able to rein in his anger, he threatened that neither he nor the other members of Omega Squad would ever help A'den again. During the final days of the Clone Wars, Niner and the other clone commandos of Omega Squad were assigned to Etain Tur-Mukan's battle group that was dispatched to the planet Kashyyyk. They were recalled to Coruscant just prior to the so-called Jedi Rebellion, although Niner never doubted that Etain was not among the Jedi who were the targets of Order 66. When Kal Skirata ordered the clones to begin their escape to Mandalore, Niner was among the handful who went to search for Etain. Niner tracked her to the Shinarcan Bridge, but was unable to prevent the rash actions of a group of Jedi Padawans who were trying to escape. Etain tried to prevent one of the Padawans from attacking a clone trooper, but was struck and killed by the young man's lightsaber. As the young jedi escaped, Niner was shoved off the bridge and fell to the ground. His spine was broken, and Niner found that he could no longer feel his legs. When Darman arrived to help, Niner demanded that Darman leave him there and make his own escape to the rendezvous point. Darman refused to leave him, and remained with Niner until they could be evacuated to a hospital. This meant that both commandos were stranded on Coruscant during the formation of the Galactic Empire, and they were conscripted into the Army of the Empire. Both clones were sent to Centax 2 for medical treatment, and Niner eventually recovered enough to return to battle. However, his legs were supported by cybernetic braces that helped keep him upright, despite the damage to his spine. (RCHC, RCTZ, RCTC, RC66)

Niner
This clone trooper served under Commander Fil in the Grand Army of the Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Niner and his squadmates accompanied Commander Fil to the third moon of Vassek, where Jedi General Nahdar Vebb had located the secret lair maintained by General Grievous. Niner and Bel were placed in charge of Watcher Base, where they served as the primary backup force for the assault. (CWTV10)

Nineteenth Battle of Zehava
This struggle for control of the city of Zehava was initiated by the Melida just six months after the Eighteenth Battle. The Daan had used the underground tunnels and drains of Zehava to gain access to Melida-held territory, and soundly defeated them. (DOD)

Ninga ninga kee Treeta Dobra
This Ewok statement translated into Basic as "I respect the wishes of the Council of Elders." (GPB)

Ningal's Droid Repair
This droid repair facility was located on the planet Vannix, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (EL2)

Ningo, Dua
This aging Sullustan served the Confederacy of Independent Systems as a naval officer, during the height of the Clone Wars. Ningo was placed in command of the Bulwark Fleet, and was ordered to capture Coruscant, about two years into the fighting. His fleet was chased away from Coruscant by the might of the Old Republic's new Victory-class Star Destroyers, and he was chased through several other star systems by the Victory Fleet before he was killed during the Battle of Anaxes. (NECH)

Nink
This was the name given to one of a pair of dwarf opee sea killers kept at the Otoh Gunga Zoological Research Facility before the Battle of Naboo. The dwarf opees were the facility's rarest and most valuable specimens. Despite being just as vicious as their larger cousins, Nink and Vink were also able to understand simple commands after being trained by the researchers. (E1A9)

Nink
This uvak was once bonded to Zhari Vaal, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, although their relationship was anything but symbiotic. Most days, Nink wanted nothing to do with its rider, because Zhari was constantly mistreating the creature. Nink eventually rebelled and, on a flight over the open ocean, the creature dropped Zhari Vaal into the water. Nink returned to Vaal's home, and per Keshiri law, the creature remained with Vaal's widow, Adari Kaal, although she was not allowed to ride the creature. Like most riderless uvaks, Nink became lazy and ornery, and Adari was forced to keep the creature chained up in her back yard. (LTS2)

Ninn
This planet was known for its devoted priesthood. The so-called Priests of Ninn wore green vestments that served to announce their devotion. (HSR)

Ninth Aquatic Zone
Sometimes called AquaZone 9, this was the final destination of students of the Galactic Outdoor Survival School, during their gruelling "final examination." One of the many terraformed regions of the planet OM813, otherwise known as Thrantin, the Ninth Aquatic Zone was noted for its green sand beaches. (AIR)

Ninth Fleet
This was one of the primary naval units of the Old Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. (MBS)

Ninth Fleet
This was one of the major divisions of the naval forces that protected the Galactic Alliance, in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong conflict. The Ninth Fleet was one of three naval units, along with the Third and Eighth Fleets, that were assigned to the General Crix Madine Military Reserve, during the Galactic Alliance's fleet reorganization and consolitation actions.

Although the exploits of the Third and Eighth Fleets were well-known to most military personnel, the Ninth Fleet remained a mystery for many years. Because its strength and make-up were unknown to most military analysts, the Ninth Fleet became the obvious choice for the Galactic Alliance to send to Gilatter Eight, when it was learned that the leaders of The Confederation were meeting at the gas giant planet, during the height of the Corellia-GA War. (LF3, LF4)

Ninth Hall of Justice
This courthouse was one of many that were maintained by the Galactic Alliance on the planet Coruscant, during the years following the Second Galactic Civil War. It was here that Luke Skywalker, the Grand Master of the Jedi Order, pleaded guilty to the charges brought against him by Chief of State Natasi Daala and the Galactic Alliance. (FJ1)

Ninth Quadrant
An area of the galaxy, located in the Outer Rim Territories between the Greeb-Streebling Cluster and the Noopiths. (COJ)

Ninx, Shug
An outlaw tech on Nar Shaddaa, and an old friend of Han Solo. He was part Theelin and part Corellian human, and had only two fingers on each hand, along with a two-jointed opposable thumb. This combination left him with few choices as far as education and careers went. He found a niche as a mechanic, and saved up enough money to buy a space on Nar Shaddaa. There, he set up his own "spacebarn." This starship garage got him a few good friends, namely Solo, Salla Zend, and Lando Calrissian. They all left to pursue the stars, but Salla's accident brought her back to the spaceport moon. Their partnership was solidified over the years, during which time Shug continued to grow in expertise. His starship garage was located within the spaceport's inner depths, and its entrance was hidden by a large holoscreen. The entry was built from a kilometers-long chute built from a construction module from the second Death Star prototype. (He found the surplus on Bonadan.) He and Salla Zend left the spaceport after Han Solo destroyed one of their prized cruisers, and after Zasm Katth and Baddon Fass ransack the garage. (DE1, DESB, DE2, THG)

Nio
This Rodian worked as a taxi driver on the planet Redcap, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ5)

Niobarium
This was a poisonous chemical. (APS)

Niobi
This woman, a native of the planet Bordal, was chosen by Sly Moore to serve as the test subject for the experiments of Borborygmus Gog and Mammon Hoole, who were working to discovery a way to control life and death for the Galactic Empire. The two Shi'ido were looking to create life from nothing, not simply create genetic replicants of existing beings. The first experiment was deemed a failure when Niobi gave birth to a three-eyed mutant. The baby was taken by Sarcev Quest, and both scientists blamed the "poor quality" of their test subject for the failure. Rumor held that this infant later became the tyrant known as Triclops. (OWS)

Niopua, Ihu
This being served as a Senator in the Galactic Senate, representing his homeworld during the final years of the Old Republic. It was Senator Niopua who praised the efforts of the Coruscant Security Force in smashing a terrorist ring that was targetting military installations on Coruscant, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis, although he was completely unaware that the entire operation had been masterminded by Kal Skirata and executed by the clone commandos of Delta and Omega Squads. (RCTZ)

Niovi
This man was the ranking Imperial Colonel serving aboard the Guardian during the early years of the New Republic. Colonel Niovi was placed in charge of security aboard the ship by Admiral Gaen Drommel himself, during the time they spent repairing the huge ship near Soullex. He didn't agree with Drommel's methods, and when the New Republic tried to take possession of the Guardian, Niovi shot Drommel dead and assumed control. Niovi then surrendered the ship and her crew to Cryle Cavv and Sienn Sconn. (SWJ15)

Nipasa
This Dimok escort shuttle was operative during the latter stages of the Sepan Civil War. It was used in the Sepan battles against the Empire, during the weeks that followed the Battle of Hoth. (TIE, TIEP)

Niph, Oxvar
This Devaronian male was part of the criminal gang that surrounded the Black Queen and her operations on Tolea Biqua, in orbit around the planet Genarius, during the final years of the Old Republic. To cover his criminal connections, Niph also served as a starport official in Tolea Biqua. A typcial Devaronian male, Niph suffered from a case of wanderlust, but confined his roamings to the floating city in which he lived. To satisfy his need to wander, Niph lived in a recreational speeder, which allowed him to sleep in a new location every night.
