T
This was the alias used by Tahl, when she infiltrated the reformed Absolutes on the planet New Apsolon, some nine years before the Battle of Naboo. (TTB)

T. Chamber
This group of container ships was used by Galactic Electronics to supply the Pondut research station, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

T.I.E. Fighter
The original twin ion engine starfighter produced by Republic Seinar Systems, this ship served as the basis for the Imperial TIE Fighter. It was succeeded by the Imperial TIE, before giving way to the standard TIE/ln fighter. (SWJ10)

T-11
This was one of the most powerful starship engine systems produced by Incom Industries, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

T-11
This JV-Z1/S databank droid served the Old Republic as a military tactics specialist. It was programmed with the details of thousands of skirmishes and battles, from feudal spats to incredible space campaigns. When the New Order was instituted, T-11 was poorly reprogrammed by Imperial engineers to pilot a garbage scow. The slicer who did the reprogramming failed to re-initialize several of T-11's memory circuits, and this didn't mesh well with its new programming. T-11 underwent several mutations of its basic subroutines, and its pattern of thought became erratic. The droid developed several distinct personalities, and disappeared only three months after its reprogramming. The droid and its garbage scow were eventually discovered by the Kaarenth Dissension, and was again destined for reprogramming. However, the personality in control of T-11 rebelled and would not condone a memory wipe. The master of the droid pool grew exhausted trying to fix T-11, and eventually assigned it to keep the Dissension's Skipray Blastboats ready for immediate takeoff. T-11 was quite paranoid, and felt that it was being stalked most of the time. (SWJ8)

T-11
This was an out-dated, repeating blaster. (TG)

T-11
This Incom airspeeder was originally produced during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was considered stylish for many years after it went out of active production, with bucket seats and a sloping nose that complemented its flowing lines. (MF)

T112110
This code provided access to the Trade Federation's concentration camp on the Street of Glory, during their invasion of the planet Naboo. (IOT)

T-12
This small droid assisted Ulic Qel-Droma in his search for Sith information on Onderon. (DLS)

T-13
An airspeeder built by Incom for terrestrial transportation. (SWSB)

T-14
This was the designation of the hyperdrive generator used on many Nubian starship designs, often mated to the 327 hyperdrive unit. (E1, X1)

T-15
This was a model of snub-nosed blaster rifle produced by BlasTech during the New Order. (SWJ5)

T-1583
This Imperial research and development space station was attacked and overtaken by Sard Nightbringer and her forces, during their attempt to rid Tamarin Sector of Imperial control during the early years of the New Republic. Sard discovered that the Imperial researchers had been working on a new form of body armor which was protected by a new form of shields, and she decided to auction it off to the highest bidder in order to obtain funds for her organization. (POC)

T-16
A three-winged, triangular craft built by Incom for terrestrial transportation. Similar in controls to an X-Wing, they were often referred to as skyhoppers. The T-16 was equipped with an E-16/x ion engine afterburner, in addition to a pair of DCJ-45 repulsorlift engines, which gave it a top cruising speed of 1,200 kilometers per hour, as well as a 300 kilometer ceiling. The 5.2-meter-long craft was armed only with four stun lasers, and carried no shields. The top two lasers can be removed in favor of a targetting lasers, and the lower two lasers can be replaced with pneumatic cannons. With two wings pointing downward and the third wing standing straight up, the T-16 was a menaueverable craft that stood 10.4 meters in height. Luke Skywalker's uncle Owen Lars purchased a T-16 for him to use on Tatooine, which Luke used to fly the canyons and shoot womprats. (E4, SWSB, EGV, NEGV)

T-19
This starfighter was produced for the Old Republic by Torpil, during the height of the Clone Wars. It was an exceptionally fast ship, and many of the pilots who flew it during the war remarked that speeds of 650 kilometers per hour were essentially "standing still" for the T-19. (JT)

T-19 Star Burner
This was a high-speed sublight engine produced for small starships, during the early years of the New Republic. (BHKK)

T1-B
This was the designation of Yutrane-Trackata's first-generation hovertank. Many of these vehicles found their way to the Alliance, which put them to use during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. It was designed to be a swift-moving anti-infantry and anti-aircraft weapons platform. (FC)

T1-LB
This ancient, LB-series labor droid was stationed on the Rogue Moon during the years following the Great Sith War. The droid was in the service of Jedi Master Lucien Draay at the time, and accompanied Draay to the Rogue Moon on the fateful mission that resulted in the deaths of several Padawan learners. Master Draay and his fellow Jedi Masters feared that one of their students would be the shatterpoint around which a devastating war would revolve, having seen visions of the war through the Force. Rather than let the galaxy fall into chaos, the Masters killed their Padawans, believing that they were doing what the Force would have demanded.

Unfortunately, Zayne Carrick escaped the killings, and tried to decipher what was going on. T1-LB, known as Elbee to the Jedi, somehow managed to record the killings, and Zayne tried to recover the droid to help him better understand what had happened. Although T1-LB's original body was destroyed, The Camper managed to restore the main cognitive centers and storage banks, allowing Zayne to witness the murders of his fellow students. Unfortunately, the repairs that The Camper made were only temporary, and what was left of T1-LB's memory was wiped out in a catastrophic systems failure.

When the recordings showed the original "death" of the droid, caused when Master Draay pushed T1-LB off a cliff, the droid's mind went into a tailspin and destroyed itself. The Camper was able to restore much of T1-LB's other systems, and rebuilt the droid to serve as the labor droid aboard the Last Resort. Elbee proved its usefulness when the group was forced to land on Vanquo, as the droid helped them escape several Mandalorian traps. When they were "rescued" by Rohan, though, Elbee lost a hand in the escape, requiring on-the-spot repairs.

When Jarael and The Camper left Zayne and Marn Hierogryph on Ralltiir, Elbee remained with the Arkanians, helping them to load their cargo and keep their ship operative. This proved advantageous for The Camper and Jarael, as Elbee was able to hold off the assassin droid HK-24 long enough for Rohlan Dyre to blast it to pieces. Elbee took several blasts to the midsection, and required minor repairs to be restored to full functionality. When the group was taken aboard the Arkanian Legacy, Elbee remained with the Last Resort until it suddenly took off, leaving the droid behind. The Camper had activated the ship remotely, as part of his own plans to draw the exogorths deep into the galaxy's outer edges, where he hoped to strand them permanently. Elbee begged The Camper not to go, but the old man just told the droid that it would be better off without him. Elbee then escaped from the Arkanian Legacy with Jarael, Zayne Carrick, and Rohlan Dyre, but the droid remained in what passed for a catatonic state for weeks. The droid simply sat in the holds of the Hot Prospect doing nothing, which prompted Marn Hierogryph to suggest that the get rid of the droid and save the fuel used to carry it around.

Elbee suddenly perked up when the others discovered the Chancellor Fillorean adrift in a nebula within the Core Worlds. The only survivors of this ship's mysterious accident were Toki Tollivar and his droid, K-OB7, which befriended Elbee. The two droids found that they had been constructed at the same plant on Rendili, and they set out to help move the bodies from the Chancellor Fillorean. (KOR1, KOR2, KOR4, KOR6, KOR12)

T1-series Labor Droid
This series of heavy-bodied labor droids was produced by Kellenech Corporation during the era of the Great Sith War, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The designs for the T1-series were later purchased by Duwani Mechanical Products after the Kellenech Corporation went bankrupt, and had to sell off its intellectual property and trademarks just to dissolve its operations. Duwani redesignated the droid as the LB-series labor droid. (KORH)

T2.3

T2/5/Zero
This galactic quadrant contains the planet Phelarion. (CSWEA)

T21
see T-21 (GQRG)

T-21
BlasTech's light repeating blaster, the T-21 was a rifle-sized weapon which had a long, thick barrel. They were originally designed for military use during the era of the Clone Wars, and could be adapted to use a larger power supply. This modification was not recommended, though, as the weapon tended to overheat under constant, heavy use. Development and production of the T-21 continued for decades, and these repeating blasters were later chosen as the primary weapon of the soldiers of the Galactic Alliance Guard. (RPG, CCG, EGW, WGT, LF6)

T-21 Hyper Particle Exchange Chamber
This fictional device was created by Adi Gallia, as a device which the Jedi planned to peddle to the Yinchorri in order to infiltrate their base on Yitheeth. (AOW)

T-23
This older model of skyhopper was similar to a T-16, in that its controls were very close to those of an X-Wing. (HTF, DOG)

T-238
A chemical weapon that induced severe nausea when dispersed, T-238 was developed by Czerka during the height of the New Order for use in chemical-load grenades. (ISB, AEG)

T-24
This Incom repulsorlift airspeeder was antiquated by the era of the Battle of Naboo. It was considered the forerunner of the T-47 airspeeder used by the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. Only 200 T-24 speeders were ever produced, and most of them ended up in museums. The T-24 had gullwing doors and a stubby fin-like wing atop its cockpit canopy. (LSOM)

T-28
This BlasTech repeating sniper rifle was one of the many weapons that were deployed to Imperial stormtroopers, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (A)

T-289
This gas-filled stun grenade was manufactured by Czerka. (PP)

T2-A
This was the first in the T2 series of repulsorlift tanks that were produced by Yutrane-Trackata, during the height of the New Order and into the era of the Galactic Civil War. (SWDB)

T2-B
This was one of the first vehicles that were produced by Yutrane-Trackata for the Empire, but found their way into the armed forces of the Alliance. After corporate executives sided with the Empire, several Yutrane-Trackata employees arranged for shipments of T2-B tanks to be stolen by the Alliance in pre-arranged raids. This allowed the Alliance to acquire the versatile ground-assault vehicle with minimal effort. Based on the designs for the T2-A tank, this vehicle measured nine meters in length, and was armed with four laser cannons. This often relegated the T2-B to spotter duty, but this was the preferred mission profile for Alliance forces who lacked sophisticated targetting and sensor technologies. The T2-B was also equipped with variable-traction repulsorlift enginers, allowing it to maneuver over a variety of terrains, including water and mud. (SWDB)

T-2c Personnel Transport
This was Cygnus Spaceworks' version of the Theta-class shuttle, built during the height of the Clone Wars for the Old Republic. Measuring 18.5 meters in length, the T-2c had a maximum wingspan of 29.3 meters and a height of 18.5 meters. The folding wings of this shuttle were designed primarily to project powerful, overlapping shields, but also provided maneuverability and stability in flight. Upon landing, the wings were folded up to allow the ship to settle onto its landing gear. Equipped with a Class 1 hyperdrive, the T-2c personnel transport had a range of some 8,000 light-years. Requiring a minimum of a pilot to operate, the T-2c was made easier to handle with the addition of a co-pilot, navigator, communications officer, and a weapons expert. The weaponry of the T-2c consisted of a pair of quad laser cannons and an aft-facing laser cannon. Darth Sidious had a T-2c shuttle specially-modified by Warthan's Wizards, giving it the ability communicate across vast distances, as well as installing sensor masks and other technology to make the shuttle appear empty to most scanners. (X3)

T-2H4
This silver-plated protocol droid was owned by Wyl Tarson, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (SWRAG)

T-3 Series Droid
This was a heavy-duty model of navigation droid, created during the height of the New Order to assist in controlling vehicles that operated in harsh climates. Note that the Star Wars Miniatures website indicates that T-3 droids were available during the era of the Great Sith War, some 4,000 years before the New Order. (PZZ2)

T3 Web Comber
This outdated device was used to analyze computer networks. (IWE1)

T-32S
This light blaster was popular during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. (LFC)

T-32S
This light blaster pistol was a favorite among smugglers during the last decades of the Old Republic. (LFC)

T-33
This type of plasma projectile was known as a shieldbuster torpedo, or a rotten egg. The T-33 was designed to detonate at a shield's perimeter, creating in intense radiation burst. This burst was several times more powerful that the combined power of a capital ship's ion cannons, and knocked out the target's shield generators. This allowed particle weapons to finish off the target. The T-33 was one of the New Republic's strongest weapons. (SOL, SSOG)

T33-A
This was one of the two Alliance encryption codes used to protect communications with the Condor drop point facility. (SWJ14)

T-35
An Imperial tug. (XW)

T358723Q9930
This was the document number of a report by the Alliance's military, comparing the performance of standard Imperial and Alliance starfighters. (XW)

T-36 Skyfighter
This was a specialized skyhopper, built by Incom Industries during the height of the New Order to serve as a near-orbit defense ship. The mission profile of the T-36 was similar in many respects to that of the Imperial TIE Fighter. The body of the T-36 was based on the tri-winged design used in the T-16 skyhopper, but this meant that these craft were extremely susceptible to windshear, and pilots had to be careful around storms to avoid being disabled. This danger, coupled with the fact that the T-36 lacked inertial dampers and required a speciallized landing platform, made the T-36 a poor performer in its targetted role. Most of these craft were relegated to used as lightreconnaissance craft. Measuring 8.2 meters in length, the standard T-36 was a one-person craft that was armed with a double laser cannon. (SOT)

T3-B
This was the designation of Yutrane-Trackata's third-generation heavy attack tank. It was used by the Alliance during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War, but was considered slow and heavy. Thus, it was often relegated to surface-to-surface engagements. The T3-B was armed with missile launchers and heavy blasters. (FC)

T3-M4
This ancient T3-series utility droid was created on the planet Taris some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, modified to serve as a personal security unit. It was given light armor plating and upgradeable weaponry, and its programming was augmented for use in slicing into computer systems and breaking encryption codes. It was also provided with a variety of combat routines, many of which bent the rules about a droid's ability to harm a living being. T3-M4's owner was never publically identified, and its creator, Janice Nall, never told who ordered the droid. In reality, T3-M4 was originally designed for Davik Kang, but the droid was stolen by the courier who was employed to obtain it. Canderous Ordo had been chosen as the courier, but he managed to hire a group to purchase the droid before he could acquire it. Ordo then used the droid to slice into Taris' computer networks and steal the necessary codes for evading the Sith blockade of the planet. T3-M4 was later acquired by Carth Onasi and Revan, who used the droid aboard the Ebon Hawk during the search for the Star Forge. After the defeat of Darth Malak, the Ebon Hawk disappeared in deep space. With her hyperdrive damaged and Revan unaccounted for, the ship was adrift until T3-M4 and 3C-FD repaired the drives. After the ship was brought to Peragus II by Kreia, T3-M4 proved useful when Revan set out to escape from the facility, which had been attacked by an unknown force. Although T3-M4 valiantly helped Revan escape, the droid was badly damaged when it breached an emergency hatch that opened into the mines. T3-M4 managed to reach a repair station, and got enough of its systems back online to return to Revan and escape from Peragus II. After being stranded on Telos, T3-M4 was captured by Atris and the Haindmaiden Sisters, who spent time downloaded large portions of his memory core. T3-M4, in turn, managed to acquire a recording of The Exile's sentencing, as well as a list of all known surviving Jedi Masters. During The Exile's search for surviving Jedi Masters, T3-M4 was lost in a game of pazaak and eventually sold to Vogga the Hutt, who put the droid to work in his warehouse on Nar Shaddaa. After the end of the Sith Civil War, T3-M4 was not seen again, and it was believed that the droid accompanied The Exile into the Unknown Regions. (KOTOR, SWDB, KOTOR2, NEGD)

T3-M8
This T3-series utility droid was repaired by Janice Nall and put up for sale at her shop on Taris, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The droid was purchased by Carth Onasi and the survivors of the Endar Spire, but exploded shortly afterward. Janice Nall refunded their money, and eventually sold them T3-M4. (KOTOR)

T-3PO
This blue-tinted protocal droid was operating on the planet Trevura, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. T-3PO was a timid droid that worked for the assassin droid S-R6, and moved about the city of Voma in an attempt to purchase black-market versions of the experimental Imperial blasters being imported by Governor Merno Blask. It was later discovered that T-3PO had been outfitted with programming that allowed it to fire a blaster, giving T-3PO the ability to handle itself in a fight. (WOA14)

T-3PO
This silver protocol droid served aboard the Subjugator. T-3PO was roughly humanoid, with insectile plating. Programmed with a harsh, female personality, her years of service aboard the Victory-class Star Destroyer made her hate the humans who treated her as a tool. Her programming kept her loyal to the Empire, but it also gave her a sense of being and worth. When the Subjugator was attacked by an Alliance fleet, T-3PO's programming told that she was superior to the other droids on the ship, and so she had to survive the encounter. As the other droids deserted their posts in the confusion, T-3PO realized that her only hope was to follow the Alliance agents accompanying Walex Blissex. It was unknown if T-3PO survived the destruction of the Subjugator. (SF)

T3-series Droid
This utility droid was produced by Duwani Mechanical Products during the years leading up to the Great Sith War, some 4,000 years prior to the Battle of Yavin. Canine in stature, the T3-series utility droid was known for its versatility, reliability, and adaptability, and they were used throughout the galaxy for jobs from janitorial duties to complex mechanical repairs. While more expensive than most models, the T3 was built with the most up-to-date technology available to its manufacturers, and was easily upgraded or customized to meet any need. (KOTOR, NEGD)

T4
This was the simple name used to describe the fourth moon of the planet Thaere Privo. (NET3)

T-4
This was the name of the fourth planet in the Thaereian System. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, the Smugglers' Confederation and the Cularin military discovered a hidden base on the planet. Representatives of the Metatheran Cartel and the Thaereian Military were seen working together with other criminal elements, stockpiling bacta and other supplies. (WOTC)

T-4
This large transport skimmer was developed for use by the Empire, and was designed to carry troops and equipment into battle. It could transport up to five tons of payload, and it was armed with a double-barreled energy cannon. (RAG)

T-40
This was a model of flitter built by Incom during the Galactic Civil War. They could be armed with a double laser cannon for police and paramilitary use. (ML)

T-44
This was a power shunt, developed by the Baktoid Armor Workshop and sold throughout the galaxy during the last years of the Old Republic. (HNN5)

T-47
An Incom airspeeder which could transport 2 passengers and limited onboard cargo, the T-47 was originally designed as an atmosphere tugboat of sorts. The pilot controlled the craft's course, while the rear-facing "cargo manager" used magnetic harpoons to drag along repulsor-equipped cargo modules. However, because of their durability, the T-47 found widespread use on backwater planets as a transport vehicle. In its basic design, the T-47 could attain speeds near 1,000 kilometers per hour when unburdened, allowing it to quickly reach incoming ships. Some were converted into airspeeders, because the T-47 had a 250 kilometer ceiling. However, the Alliance was forced modified them for military use on the frozen world of Hoth, keeping them low to the ground to prevent freeze-ups. Alliance technicians added two fire-linked laser cannons, a power harpoon, and heavier shields. These craft could attain speeds of nearly 570 kilometers per hour. Other T-47s were modified to serve on water worlds, in deserts, or as high-altitude reconnaissance craft. In its base form, the T-47 measured 5.3 meters in length. (E5, RPG, CHRN, NEGV)

T-4a
This was the official model number of Cygnus Spaceworks' version of the Lambda-class shuttle. It measured twenty meters in length, had a crew complement of four, and was armed with four Taim & Bak KX5 laser cannons. In addition to its crwe, the T-4a could accommodate up to fourteen passengers. It was rated at a top speed of 65 MGLT, and was protected by 100 SBD shields and a 25 RU hull. Note that Star Wars: Complete Cross-sections indicates that T-4a was the designation of all Lambda-class shuttles, not just those produced by Cygnus Spaceworks. (XW, TSC, CCS)

T4-B
This was the larger version of the T2-B repulsor tank that was produced by Yutrane-Trackata during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Like the T2-B, the T4-B found its way into the military fleet of the Alliance when disgruntled employees arranged for them to be stolen in pre-arranged raids. Unlike the T2-B, however, the T4-B moved about on a pair of heavy treads, which limited its mobility but provided the stability needed for its weaponry. Measuring ten meters in length, the T4-B was a heavier vehicle, also befitting the weaponry with which it was armed. The primary weaponry was a pair of medium laser cannons that were mounted on either side of the cockpit. Additional firepower came from three concussion missile launchers that could be used against other military vehicles or against enemy infantry. Because the T4-B was much more expensive to produce, the Alliance was only able to acquire a limited supply of them from their contacts within Yutrane-Trackata. However, the devastating assault capabilities of the T4-B more than made up for their limited availability. (SWDB)

T5
This was the model number of a force pike produced by Merr-Sonn. (AIR)

T-534D
This was the designation of a public transportation skylane, found on the planet Coruscant. (HNN4)

T5-G3
This protocol droid was modified by Imperial scientists for use as an espionage droid. However, a quirk in its programming surfaced in its logic dispenser that resulted in T5-G3 shutting down every six to eight months before its systems reboot. The droid was inserted into the New Republic's droid pool as a labor management droid, in hopes that it could provide information on the Republic's military actions. (WBC)

T-6
This BlasTech heavy blaster pistol was known to soldiers as the Thunderer, and was marketed as the ultimate "superheavy" blaster pistol. It was first produced to compete in the marketplace with SoroSuub's Renegade weapon, and was the weapon known to have ended the "blaster wars" between BlasTech, Merr-Sonn, and SoroSuub because of its incredible power. Unfortunately, the T-6 tended to overheat because of its power, and the barrel of the weapon could warp. If this occurred, especially during a firefight when the weapon was not allowed to cool down, the focusing crystals can be misaligned and the T-6 could explode in the user's hands. (WSV, GUN, AEG)

T-6 Diodem
This device, produced on the planet Arda-2, was used in starfighter targetting controls to establish a positive lock on a target. The natives of Arda-2 produced them for use by the Alliance, but they also produced a non-military version for certain household service devices. Mag Doum secretly recovered used home-service diodems and sold them to the Empire at significant markups. The Empire then installed them in TIE Fighters, and used them to attack Alliance starships. Luke Skywalker went to Arda-2 to protest what the Alliance saw as a direct sale of the T-6 to the Empire, and uncovered Mag Doum's plot. (CSWEA)

T-6 Shuttle
This arc-shaped shuttle was developed for use by the Jedi Order, during the final years of the Old Republic. The central section of the rear of the T-6 shuttle was dominated by the three main engines, and the cockpit was nestled within the arc of the forward section. Each wing of the shuttle was given curving lines on both the leading and trailing edges, giving it an organic feel. (CWTV25)

T-65 Space Superiority Starfighter
This was the official designation of the X-Wing starfighter and all its variations. (SWSB, LSSM)

T-65A2
see X-Wing (UF)

T-65A3
One of the many improved designs of the Incom Industries X-Wing starfighter, the A3 was developed during the second decade of the New Republic. It boasted improved shielding and lasers, both of which required less power to operate, but were more efficient and accurate to use. It was bested in its generation only by the T-65XJ model developed for use by the Jedi Knights. One of the main upgrades on the T-65A3 was the secondary fire button on the command stick. It allowed the pilot to fire in a cycling, single-laser pattern no matter how the weapons were fire-linked. This secondary fire was shot out with less power than normal, allowing the weapons to cycle rapidly. This proved to be of use against the coralskippers of the Yuuzhan Vong, as it allowed pilots to pour larger amounts of energy into their black-hole shields, causing the shields to collapse. Regular firepower could then be used to punch through the coralskippers' rocky exterior. (DTO)

T-65AC4
This version of the Incom X-Wing starfighter was produced about ten years after the Battle of Endor. It had speed to match an A-Wing, but was still as rugged and sturdy as the original X-Wings. The AC4's incorporated numerous advances in targetting, fire control, and power distribution. Armament remained similar to the original, with four heavy laser cannons mounted on the wingtips and a proton torpedo launcher. (JASB, SOG)

T65-AFP
A new form of starship fuel pump introduced for use on X-Wings two years after the Battle of Endor. (XWN)

T-65b
This was the designation Incom's second generation X-Wing starfighter. It was faster and more maneuverable than the original fighter, with improved armor hull plating and better power utilization. (SWSB, RASB, LSSM)

T-65BR
This version of the standard X-Wing starfighter was developed for use as a reconnaissance craft during the early years of the New Republic. The proton torpedo launchers were removed and replaced with high-gain long-range sensors. The T-65BR relied heavily on the use of an astromech, which acted not only as a navigational aid but as an automated controller of the sensor packages. Each T-65BR was also rigged with a deadman self-destruct system, which would destroy the ship if the pilot was ever killed in combat. This ensured that any data recovered by the ship would be lost and untraceable. (CTD)

T-65c A2
This was the model name of the first X-Wing starfighter to be mass-produced by Incom Industries. Because of its designation, the T-65c A2 was sometimes considered a modified version of the X-Wing. (SWSB, RASB)

T-65C-A2
see T-65c A2 (RASB)

T-65D-A1
This version of the Incom X-Wing starfighter was introduced about seventeen years after the Battle of Endor. This X-Wing replaced the astromech R2 unit with additional computer power, providing more maneuverability and increased in-flight options for the pilot. The New Republic began replacing its old, aging T-65As with the T-65D-A1, until Cole Fardreamer discovered that their new shipboard computers were rigged with Imperial detonation devices. The computers had been built under the direction of Dolph, who planned to detonate them from Almania at a specified time. Cole found the detonators while repairing Luke Skywalker's old X-Wing, which was being refitted with the new computers. He showed the detonators to Wedge Antilles, who had originally ordered the newer X-Wings to replace the old ones. Wedge began recalling the newer ships before they could explode, and new computer systems were ordered to replace the rigged ones. (TNR)

T-65R
This version of the standard Incom X-Wing starfighter was designed for surveillance and reconnaissance. Known as a snoopscoot, it employed a pair of sensor pods which trailed behind the ship to gather data on a nearby world. The sensor equipment could be jettisoned if the ship was attacked, and the pods recovered later. The T-65R lacked weapons, so it was often accompanied by other starfighters. (IR)

T-65XJ
This heavily-modified version of the durable X-Wing starfighter was developed two decades after the Battle of Endor by Incom. Among the enhancements over the original models, the XJ had three proton torpedo launchers, each of which carried three torpedoes. The XJ series ship also had improved fire-linking capability, with the ability to link the four laser cannons in specific patterns of fire, rather than just combinations of the four guns. Thus the weapons could be configuration to fire a pair of dual bursts - from any combination of cannons - followed in the cycle by a single quad burst from all four cannons. The XJ was also equipped to use an R7-series astromech droid. Two of these ships found their way into the small fleet maintained by Kyp Durron, and many civilians believed that the "J" in the designation indicated that the ships were produced for the Jedi Knights. (VP, JE, BP, EVC)

T-65XJ3
This was the latest version of the original X-Wing T-65 starfighter, produced by Incom Industries during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Among their many updates, the XJ3 series had variable-stutter lasers, decoy-enhanced proton torpedoes, and grab-proof shields. These sophisticated upgrades were all made in an attempt to give the starfighters some kind of advantage over the Yuuzhan Vong coralskippers and gravity-based technologies. They were especially useful when attacking alien ships using the so-called shadow bombs, since one torpedo launcher could be loaded with unpropelled missiles. (SBS, NJOSB)

T-65XJ5
This modern version of the Incom X-Wing was built during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy.

This red-plated protocol droid served as a spaceport negotiator in Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. T-9PM, which had been programmed to consider himself more important than he really was, which served to hide the fact that T-9PM was owned by the Alliance.

This female Kaminoan was one of the Master Cloners who were assigned to the development of clone troopers for the Army of the Republic. In the wake of the Battle of Geonosis, Sayn Ta and her assistant were tasked with enhancing the already excellent combat skills of the clone troopers. When the troopers suddenly started dying from an internal nano-virus, Sayn Ta was called upon by Aayla Secura and Kit Fisto to investigate the problem. It was discovered that her assistant had been bribed by the Separatists to infect the clones, as revenge for toiling under Sayn Ta without receiving any of the accolades. The assistant used the virus to killed Sayn Ta, hoping that an antidote would not be created. The assistant then threatened to inject the virus into Aayla Secura, but he accidentally injected himself. The assistant also died, but the virus was used to create an antidote and vaccinate the clones. (T14)

TA-175
This tactical droid served as Wat Tambor's commander, during the Separatist defense of the city of Lessu, on the planet Ryloth, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. When Jedi Master Mace Windu led Lightning Squadron's assault on the Separatist base, TA-175 advised a retreat that would save the droid forces defending the city, but Tambor wanted to save the city by setting up bunkers. TA-175 was forced to recognize that Tambor was not a good military leader, and secretly contacted Count Dooku for instructions. Dooku demanded that Lessu be abandoned, because Mace Windu would not rest until the Twi'leks were free, and Tambor was no match for the veteren Jedi Master. Tambor, however, refused to leave without plundering the surrounding settlements, and TA-175 found that its commands were falling of deaf ears. This proved to be disasterous when one of the final shipments of looted treasure was hijacked by Windu and his clone troopers, who used it to camouflage their arrival in Lessu and gain access to the city's plasma bridge controls. Rather than risk being captured, TA-175 boarded a shuttle and fled Rylothl, reporting to Count Dooku on Tambor's failure to secure the city and his ultimate capture. (CWTV21)

Taa, Orn Free
This obese, Rutian Twi'lek was a Senator to the Old Republic. He was most noted for the Lethan Twi'lek consorts he maintained, rather than his politics. Taa was as corrupt as a Senator could be, and used his position to indulge in his every whim. This did not endear him to the local leaders on Ryloth, especially Cham Syndulla. Ord Free Taa was somewhat unusual for a Twi'lek, as he had four thick head-tails instead of just two. These misshapen head-tails stored fat like the rest of his body. During the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, Senator Taa was one of Finis Valorum's most vocal rivals, and took every opportunity to needle the Chancellor in public and political forums. It was during this time that Orn Free Taa became one of Senator Palpatine's supporters, although he found himself floundering after Palpatine was voted Supreme Chancellor. In the years leading up to the Clone Wars, Orn Free Taa continued to support Palpatine, and proved himself to be a stickler for the letter of the law. When the Military Creation Act came up for a vote, it was Senator Orn Free Taa who demanded that the vote be delayed, after Senator Padme' Amidala was nearly assassinated. He had hoped to carry the vote through, but Amidala's speeches only served to shake the resolve of those Senators who had not committed to one side or the other. Ultimately, the vote was taken, but only as a courtesy after it was learned that the Separatists had amassed a huge army on Geonosis. In the following months, Orn Free Taa voted regularly for legislation that seemed to maintain or improve Chancellor Palpatine's base of power. He was trapped with Palpatine in the Senate Rotunda when Cad Bane made his desparate attempt to free Ziro the Hutt from prison, and was forced to carry the pardon disc to the Republic Judiciary Central Detention Center, where he was exchanged for the crimelord. Later, Orn Free Taa was one of the first to recommend that the Jedi Order be augmented with a dedicated police force. After the apparent death of Master Yoda at Ithor - a complicated ruse involving Palleus Chuff - Orn Free Taa took the matter to the Senate, demanding the formation of a security force that would answer solely to Palpatine himself, and dedicated to the protection of the Galactic Senate and the Chancellor. Note that the Episode I Insider's Guide CD doesn't give a species for Orn Free Taa, although it states that his species was distinguished by its large ear flaps, which stored excess fat for later consumption.

Taa baa
This word from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "thanks." (GPB)

Ta'a Chume
The Queen Mother of the Hapan worlds during the era of the New Order, she was a devious woman who gave birth to two sons. She would stop at nothing to see her elder son married to a powerful new queen, but he was a pacifist and - in her mind - a weakling. So, she had him assassinated in order to elevate her younger son, Isolder, to the position of heir. When Isolder fell in love with Elliar, Ta'a Chume disagreed with his selection. She also had Elliar murdered, and pushed Isolder to marry a more fitting wife. Ta'a Chume also had a dislike for the Jedi Knights, and when she meets Luke Skywalker, the dislike only increases when Luke bests her in gaining information on Han Solo's whereabouts. She allowed the Old Republic some measure of respect, but when it crumbled and the Empire took over, she became a brutal leader, firming up the Hapan armed forces to keep the Imperials at bay. The Hapan worlds have since enjoyed a measure of prosperity, and Ta'a had been reduced to keeping the various factions from killing each other's heirs in attempts to gain the throne. She pretended to agree to her son Isolder's proposed marriage to Princess Leia, but she was secretly against it, feeling that Leia would bring nothing but the downfall of the Hapan government. She arranged for an assassination attempt on Leia's life, but it failed. Isolder, upon hearing of this, also accused her of killing his former betrothed, Elliar, and his older brother. Ta'a Chume eventually backed off, and let Isolder marry the Dathomirian "princess" Teneniel Djo. When Tenel Ka was born, Ta'a Chume began doting on the child, in hopes that she could twist the child into a "proper" Hapes Queen. In this effort, however, she failed, and Tenel Ka became a full Jedi. Ta'a Chume, it was later revealed, had something to do with the attempt by a group of Bartokk assassins to kill Tenel Ka, and she was forced to step down as Queen Mother and relinquish the throne to Teneniel Djo. Her abdication, though final, did not prevent her from keeping a hand in the dealings of the royal family. After the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, and after the destruction of a portion of the Consortium Navy at the Battle of Fondor, Ta'a Chume even condoned several assassination attempts on Isolder and Teneniel Djo. However, the opening of Hapes to war refugees was too much for her to take. With the help of her aide Trisdin, Ta'a Chume began searching for a young woman to replace Teneniel Djo - a young woman she could mold in her own image. Her first attempt to locate such a woman focused on Jaina Solo, shortly after the Jedi lost her brother Anakin to the Yuuzhan Vong. After arranging for the murder of her daugther-in-law, Ta'a Chume quickly ordered new leadership be instated for Hapes, blaming the murder on the Ni'Korish. Her plans failed when Tenel Ka agreed to take her mother's position, a right which was hers to exercise. Despite her position as former Queen Mother, Ta'a Chume was arrested and charged with the murder to Teneniel Djo. She remained in a minimum security environment for many years, and slowly grew more and more angry at the fact that her Jedi-trained grand-daughter, Tenel Ka, had assumed the throne of the Queen Mother. Ta'a Chume's frustration and unrest only increased when Tenel Ka refused to marry, and continued to involve the Hapes Cluster in the politics of the greater galaxy. In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, which cost many Hapan lives, Ta'a Chume began to hear whispers of Tenel Ka's growing relationship with Jacen Solo. After the Qoribu Crisis, it became obvious that Tenel Ka was pregnant, and Ta'a Chume began to plot a new pathway to power. She arranged a deal with the Gorog hive to have Tenel Ka's infant daughter killed, knowing that she could only retake the position of Queen Mother without a direct heir in the way. Her plans were spoiled when the baby's father, Jacen Solo, arrived on Hapes with Ben Skywalker. The two Jedi added their strength to Tenel Ka's, and defeated the insectile assassins. Jacen, angry at the attempt on his daughter's life, confronted Ta'a Chume and had her restrained. Ta'a Chume then revealed that it had been Gorog who had come to her first, claiming that it wanted revenge against Tenel Ka for sending of a Hapan fleet to Qoribu. She also explained that the Gorog were looking for navicomputers and hyperdrives in order to escape from the Utegetu Nebula. Jacen, satisfied with her answers but unwilling to let her remain free, sent a sharp spike of Force power into Ta'a Chume's brain, rendering her unable to produce a coherent thought.

Taakses, Daetan
This Rodian was the founder of the Pinett Freedom Force, the protest group which tried to protest the blockades established by the Corsignis Property Alliance and the Jon-Tow Economic Development Group during the Galactic Civil War. He started the protests with a very public hunger strike, and the Pinett Freedom Force continued to expland its protests to ensure that ships from either faction were not allowed to land on the moon. Daetan was a pacifist, and felt that peaceful protests such as a hunger strike would be most effective. However, his hunger strike, coupled with the demonstrations by the Pinett Freedom Force, meant that port workers found themselves without work. Whenever he managed to go out in public, he was under constant vigilence against violence from the port workers. (WOA25)

Taakses, Oryel
This Rodian, the nephew of Daetan Taakses, was one of the senior members of the Pinett Freedom Force. He was also an Imperial informant, who outwardly said that his loyalties to his family were stronger than his loyalties to the Empire.

Taan
This young boy and his younger sister, Dyrla, lived with their father on Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. Their mother had been killed aboard a transport by the Thaereian Military, and the family came to hate the Thaereians as much as any Cularin natives. Thus, when the Cularin Militia was able to defeat the Thaereians and restore freedom to the Cularin System, Taan and Dyrla were among the thousands who lined the streets of their home city to witness a parade honoring the heroes of the Thaereian Conflict. Like his father, twleve-year-old Taan believed that the various members of the fighter squadrons and military units were the true heroes of Cularin, and he couldn't understand why Dylra adored Osten Dal'Nay. (LFCW)

Taan
This female Yuuzhan Vong was a member of the Shamed Ones caste, and was part of the slave crew aboard the Stalking Moon. It was Taan who revealed to Corran Horn that the Shamed Ones believed the Jedi Knights would be their salvation. She later helped the Jedi gain control of the scoutship by communicating with Yuuzhan Vong commanders, claiming that the Stalking Moon had suffered a failure during hyperspace reversion, and that much of the command crew was injured or killed. (EVR)

Taan, Cather
This stocky man owned and operated Cather Taan's Gun Shop, in the Storrd Township of the planet Seregar. The only decent arms dealer in the area, Taan was known for his knowledge of weapons and his stoic demeanor. He never bargained or traded, standing firm on his prices. His repair work was first-rate, another indication that his prices were fair, if not a bit higher than normal. (ND)

Taanab
The natives of this planet aided by Lando Calrissian in turning away a group of raiding Norulac pirates. Taanab had one moon. The Empire had used Taanab as a major food production facility. Note that X-Wing Rogue Squadron: Requiem for a Rogue names this planet as Taanad. (E6, SWJ5, XWRR)

Taanab Exercise
This training exercise was designed by Luke Skywalker to train his new Jedi Knights. It involved trying to determine what the correct course of action would be in averting a flood that threatened a group of villagers. The students were required to investigate the available data and decide how best to avoid a disaster. Among the facts presented was the sudden appearance of off-world speculators who planned to sell homes on the floodplain to Alderaanian survivors. The villagers were actually building in the most dangerous area of the floodplain. (DTO)

Taanab Operation
This battle was aprt of Grand Admiral Thrawn's plans to unsettle the fledgling New Republic, some five years after the Battle of Endor. As part of the Taanab Operation, Thrawn dispatched the Bellicose to harass the planet Taanab in the wake of the Battle of Sluis Van. In order to ensure pinpoint accuracy and coordination among the Imperial forces, Thrawn planned on using the skills of the Dark Jedi Joruus C'baoth to coordinate the battles plans. However, C'baoth went out on his own and used a Force technique to link all the gunners' minds to his own. He then was able to control the entire firing plan, and used the Imperial forces to his own ends. Thrawn relieved him from the operation when he found out about C'baoth's maneuver, allowing the Dark Jedi to return to Jomark and await the arrival of Luke Skywalker. (DFR)

Taanab Sunrise
This New Republic warship was badly damaged during the Battle of Garqi, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was saved when the Imperial Remnant, under the command of Admiral Pellaeon, intervened in the battle in support of the Republic.

His protégé, Cala Worner, was forced to take over his duties when Idu was shot and killed by a group of stormtroopers under the command of Falto Dragen, who had pulled Idu over to inspect his produce. Idu panicked and tried to escape, but was shot and killed. (RESB)

Ta'ania
This woman was one of the original settlers of the planet Eol Sha. Records discovered by Luke Skywalker revealed that she had been the illegitimate descendant of a former Jedi Knight. He also discovered that Gantoris was one of her descendants. (JS)

Taanzer, Crys
This fiery woman served as the pilot aboard the transport vessel Uhumele, during the final years of the Old Republic. It was Taanzer who intercepted Dass Jennir and Bomo Greenbark at the Cadgel Meadows spaceport on New Plympto, in the wake of the Clone Wars. Like the rest of his crewmates, Crys had no reason to trust the Galactic Empire that rose to power in the wake of the Clone Wars. When the ship was grounded on New Plympto by Imperial troops, Crys agreed with Ko Vakier's vote for blasting their way through the Imperials in order to escape. However, upon hearing Jennir's plan of escaping with several other ships, she began making calls to other crews and managed to gain enough support for the idea to get them free.

The crew of the Uhumele then agreed to help Bomo Greenbark locate his wife and daughter, who had been captured by slavers, but their search only discovered that both females had been killed. After Jennir executed Dezono Qua for killed Resa Greenbark, he left the crew of the ship behind. Schurk-Heren set a course for Pizkoss, where he made a deal with Haka Hai to deliver a special cargo. Bomo, who had remained with the Uhumele, found it hard to integrate with the crew, and Crys took him aside to explain about the Captain and his way of accepting new members to the crew. During their discussion, Crys told Bomo about her own history, which was not unlike his own.

Her husband was killed on their homeworld of Nadiem during the Clone Wars, and she agreed to turn her son, Kennan, over to the Jedi Knights, after it was discovered that he had a strong connection to the Force. Crys believed that Kennan would be safe with the Jedi on Coruscant, instead fleeing from the Separatists. Unfortunately, Kennan was believed to have been among the many younglings who were killed when Darth Vader attacked the Jedi Temple to smash the so-called Jedi Rebellion, and Crys blamed herself for causing Kennan's death. After leaving Nadiem, Crys fell into trouble with a crimelord on Columus before Captain Schurk-Heren took her into the crew of the Uhumele and taught her to be a pilot.

Despite her belief that the Jedi had let her down, Bomo tried to convince Crys that the Jedi were mostly honorable, like Dass Jennir. Crys would hear none of it, however, since she still believed that the Jedi had taken Kennan from her. Schurk-Heren then put down on Circarpous V to deliver his cargo to Haka Hai. The Ishi Tib crimelord planned to double-cross them, and the Captain had anticipated this and hid the real artifact. When Lumbra then tried to double-cross Haka Hai and stole the cargo crate, Haka Hai confronted Schurk-Heren about its content. When the Captain admitted that the real artifact was hidden, Haka Hai threw the crew of the Uhumele into prison. While the others were tortured and interrogated, Crys was forced to work as a serving girl in the crimelord's palace. When the thugs set off to locate Bomo Greenbark, who had managed to escape from captivity, Crys was able to grab a blaster and set off on her own. She stumbled upon Bomo, and might have shot him if she hadn't realized who he was.

In order to remain free, Crys was forced to shoot and kill one of Haka Hai's goons, and she was momentarily stunned at having actually killed another being. Bomo explained that, unfortunately, the goon was probably not going to be the last being she ever killed. Together, they located Meekerdin-maa, and the three of them set a trap for Haka Hai and his men, which they sprang with surprising effectiveness. The crew of the Uhumele then fled Mimban, and set out to sell their cargo to Fane Peturri. However, Schurk-Heren was unaware that Peturri was working for the Empire, and the crew was quickly captured by the stormtroopers who accompanied Darth Vader to their locations. Crys and the others feared for their lives, but Schurk-Heren managed to escape from his shackles and free them. Unfortunately, Celeste Morne had been released from the artifact, which was actually Lord Dreypa's Oubliette, and drew upon the powers of the Muur Talisman to infect the stormtroopers with the Rakghoul Plague. Crys was also attacked by the plague, and she turned into a rakghoul before she could reach the Uhumele. Schurk-Heren was forced to kill her, in order to prevent the rest of the crew. (DT1, DT2, DTV)

Taanzer, Kennan
This young boy was the son of Crys Taanzer and her husband. When their homeworld of Nadiem was attacked during the Clone Wars, Crys' husband was killed in the fighting. A blue-skinned Ho'Din Jedi Master approached Crys during the evacuation and recognized that Kennan had a strong connection to the Force, and offered to take him back to Coruscant for training. Crys realized that Kennan would not be safe on Nadiem or even on the evacuation ship, and reluctantly turned her son over to the Jedi. The Jedi Master turned Kennan over to his Padawan, with orders to return to Coruscant at once. Crys believed that she had given her son another chance at life, until she heard of the so-called Jedi Rebellion and Darth Vader's vicious attack on the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Kennan was among the younglings who were in the Temple at the time, and Crys blamed herself for sending her son to his death.

Unknown to Crys, however, was the fact that Kennan had not been on Coruscant during Vader's attack. Instead, he had been to the Jedi training facility on Bogden Three, where he was rescued by Master K'Kruhk just after the end of the Clone Wars. Their starship experienced a malfunction, however, and had to land on a remote world. They were discovered there by Lumbra and his thugs, and when Master Piru tried to prevent the criminals from taking the children, she was shot and left for dead. Kennan and his fellow younglings were rounded up and transported back to Lumbra's ship, and it was Kennan's belief that Master K'Kruhk would soon rescue them that kept the other children from panicking.

However, the Taat were notable among the fourteen or so hives of the Colony for its stoic approach to life. The Taat established their nest on the moon Jwlio, where they became known as the healers and warriors of the Colony. When the Colony's conflict with the Chiss was resolved, some five years after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Taat was the first of the Qoribu hives to be relocated to another planet. The entire hive was moved aboard the Kendall and transported to a world within the Utegetu Nebula, that was deep in the Unknown Regions and well away from Chiss space. (DN1, DN2, NEGA)

Taavin
This blond-haired man served the Empire as a Captain in the military, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Captain Taavin was stationed at the Moog Mot VI garrison, where he and his officers monitored the financial dealings of various businessbeings and the crimelords in the surrounding sector. One of the criminals that managed to avoid his efforts was Sollima, who controlled the Hollow Moon and its casinos, gladiator arena, and slave pits. He hoped that his luck had changed when an informant sold him one of Sollima's accounting droids. Shortly afterward, his soldiers captured Han Solo and Billal Batross, who had infiltrated the garrison to recover the droid. Taavin offered them a choice: spend the rest of their lives in prison for treason and saboage, or help the Imperials finally capture Sollima and take control of the Hollow Moon. The two smugglers agreed to help Taavin's forces penetrate the Hollow Moon, provided them with access to the moon's shields upon their return. Taavin's forces quickly surrounded the moon, and he gave Solo and Batross only a minimum amount of time to get free. However, when the Millennium Falcon crossed his path, Taavin decided to let them go free, believing that they would eventually cross paths again. (HMK)

Tabb
This Troig Saprin was part of the same being as the Saprah, Dwuir, during the last decade of the Old Republic. However, Dwuir ought to be separated from Tabb during the year prior to the Clone Wars. The debates over the ethical necessity and medical ability to perform the operation started a galaxy-wide debate in many circles. Due to the poor medical facilities on Pollillus, as well as the possible death of one being in such a separation, DwuirsinTabb remained together for many months while the debates raged on.

Table of Organization
Similar to the Order of Battle, the Table of Organization was an Imperial definition of military prominence. While the Order of Battle described entire armies or navies, the Table of Organization applied to the ranking of individual soldiers and officers. (A)

Table-field
In the game of sabacc, the table-field was essentially the game table on which players could deposit the card-chips in their hands. In accordance with the rules of sabacc, the card-chips in a player's hand could change in suit and/or value with each deal, adding the element of chance to the game. Once a card-chip was placed on the table-field, though, its suit and value were locked for the duration of the hand. This allowed players to keep certain cards during the hand, in the hope of achieving a total value of twenty-three. (LCS)

Tabletop Mesa
Located on the planet Corellia, this natural landmark was part of the swoop course used to determine the planet's best rider. Most riders chose to fly over the mesa, as this was the safest route.

This Force-sensitive Aleena was one of the many beings who challenged Silus to gladiator combat, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Tabor chose to fight Silus in order to avenge the death of his brother. However, Tabor was no match for Silus, either physically or in the Force. In the end, Silus managed to wrap a cable around Tabor's neck, which he jerked mightily. Tabor was beheaded by the snapping of the cable. (T24)

Taboret
This mammal, native to the planet Nedij, was hunted for its tasty flesh. The Nediji created a tasty stew from taboret meat. (MJH)

Tabory, Evlyn
This young girl, the daughter of Rosemari Tabory and the niece of Jorad Pressor, was about ten years old when a mission to locate the remains of the Outbound Flight Project actually found the ships, some fifty years after the mission was destroyed. Evlyn was distinguished by her auburn hair and bright blue eyes, as well as her precocious nature. Pressor knew that there was something unusual about the girl, although he couldn't quite put his finger on it. When the Chiss-led mission to locate Outbound Flight arrived on the ships, he used her to lure their unexpected visitors into turbolifts, where he trapped them while trying to figure out what to do with them. Jorad knew the Evlyn was gifted, and believed that she had some sensitivity to the Force. He feared that this knowledge would leak out to the rest of the survivors, but also knew that it couldn't be kept a secret forever. When Bearsh and his companions revealed themselves to be Vagaari pirates, Evlyn and her mother and uncle were trapped in a conference room with Dean Jinzler and Aristocra Formbi when Bearsh released three wolvkils to keep them from escaping. Jinzler remembered that the Outbound Flight Colony's comlinks were equipped with a special communication frequency that could cut through jamming, and asked Evlyn to use her nacent powers to recover one from a fallen Peacekeeper. Evlyn was too scared to respond, and Pressor immediately forbade. Jinzler, however, convinced Pressor and Rosemari to allow Evlyn to make the attempt. She concentrated hard, and was able to move the comlink into a position for Jinzler to grab it. After freeing themselves, Evlyn found herself under the protection of Mara Jade Skywalker during their attempt to defeat the Vagaari. After the Vagaari threat was eliminated, Evlyn and her mother agreed to accompany the Outbound Flight Colony to Nirauan, staying as far away from the New Republic as they could. (SQ)

Tabory, Rosemari
This woman, the sister of Jorad Pressor, was one of the Instructors who worked on the Managing Council of the survivors of the Outbound Flight Project, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She was distinguished by her auburn hair, a trait she shared with her daughter, Evlyn. Since she was born after the Devastation, Rosemari was considered a member of the Colonists, and often represented them at meetings of the Managing Council. After the Vagaari threat was eliminated, Rosemari and Evlyn agreed to accompany the Outbound Flight Colony to Nirauan, staying as far away from the New Republic as they could. (SQ)

Tacema, Leslomy
This female Duros worked at the Mos Eisley spaceport as a dock master. She reviewed and approved all cargo manifests, but was forgiving of minor offenses. She was a close associate of Ellorrs Madak, and was also considered an excellent pilot. (CCG7)

Tac-fiver
This was the shortened term used to describe tactical channel five, which was used by Imperial TIE Fighter pilots to check in with their squad leader before a mission. (DSTR)

Tach
This small primate was native to the planet Kashyyyk, and was hunted for a small gland found within its body. The gland, when dried and powdered, was known as a powerful stimulant to many races. However, the Wookiees considered it a crime to kill the tach monkeys, and any being caught hunting them was imprisoned. (KOTOR)

Tachi, Siri
This young girl was a Jedi trainee, and a contemporary of Obi-Wan Kenobi shortly after he was chosen to be Qui-Gon Jinn's padawan. She was actually two years younger than Obi-Wan, but her skills with the Force and in lightsaber combat moved her forward in her class to Obi-Wan's level. She was considered to be quite beautiful by the male students of the time, although she chosen to wear a boyish haircut and clothing to mask her looks. Her blue seemed to darken or lighten dependning on her feelings. Siri found that she hated Obi-Wan after he had forsaken the Jedi to become involved in the Melida/Daan civil war.

After the destruction of Xanatos, she was chosen by Adi Gallia to be a padawan, and they were assigned by Master Yoda to accompany Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to Kegan to witness first-hand how a master and an apprentice worked together. Despite her skill and grace, Siri was impatient to move forward in her training, and often bristled in the presence of Obi-Wan's own patience. They were captured and held by the Keganites in the Learning Circle, in an effort to keep the Jedi from taking O-Lana back to Coruscant for training. The two quickly found a way to work together, and Siri learned more from Obi-Wan than she thought she could have. Eventually, they escaped the Keganites and helped bring Kegan into the galactic community.

Later, during a mission to the Kessel Run, Siri and Adi Gallia had an intense argument, and Siri chose to leave the Jedi Order. Obi-Wan later discovered that Siri's split with the Jedi had been part of a far-reaching plan to infiltrate the slave ring of Krayn. In the intervening years, she dropped her given name and was known by the pseudonym Zora.

After returning to the Jedi Order, Siri and Obi-Wan found themselves paired with their Masters on several missions. During the mission to protect Talesan Fry, Siri and Obi-Wan realized that they had fallen in love with each other. Knowing that attachment was forbidden among the Jedi, they struggled to resolve their feelings and their allegiance to the Jedi Order. Ultimately, both agreed to bury their feelings and never think of each other in anything other than a professional light. About three years after the Battle of Naboo, she joined forces with the pirate Krayn and earned his trust. She was unable to help Anakin Skywalker when he was captured by Krayn, but kept an eye on him until both of the were captured. With the help of the slavegirl Berri, they escaped and met with Aga Culpa and Nor Fik, arranging with both beings to oppose Krayn and allow the Jedi to destroy his organization.

After the successful slave revolt, and following Anakin's killing of Krayn, Siri returned with the two Jedi to Coruscant. The experience with the slavers left Siri with a rebellious streak, which she displayed upon being named a Jedi Knight by cutting her hair short and wearing a leather unisuit. She eventually took Ferus Olin as her Padawan learner, and refused to take another Padawan after Ferus voluntarily left the Order, after the death of Darra Thel-Tanis. Siri and Ferus had been a good team together, with Ferus asking questions that made both of them think about their answers. While en route to missions, Siri would lie on the floor of their starship and ponder the questions Ferus asked. When he left the Order, Siri understood his decision, but could not bring herself to train another student.

Just prior to the Clone Wars, Siri was dispatched with Garen Muln on a mission to the Xanlanner System. While en route, they discovered Obi-Wan's distress signal from TY44, and helped him reach Vanqor to rescue his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker.

In the wake of the Battle of Geonosis, Siri was dispatched to the planet Kamino. The starship Slave I had been sighted there, and the Jedi Council wanted Jango Fett brought in for questioning. She discovered that the ship had been piloted back to Kamino by Jango's son, Boba, but she was too late to intercept him. Later, at the height of the Clone Wars, Siri was again teamed with Obi-Wan and Anakin, this time traveling to Genian with Padme' Amidala to negotiate for a codebreaking device created by Talesan Fry. After acquiring the device and returning to Azure, the Jedi found themselves under a Separatist attack. Magus himself had joined the Separatists, and tried to kill Talesan. Siri found herself protecting Padme', but had to disable Magus' ship to do it.

In a bold move, Siri jumped onto Magus' fighter and fought her way in. Although she disabled Magus, she was shot in the chest. Shortly after Obi-Wan pulled her from the ship, Siri died of her injuries. Before dying, though, she gave Obi-Wan a crystal she had carried with her as a Padawan, so that her memory could live on in him. (CT, FFT, SWDB, JQ, JQ1, BF1, JQ7, SOJ, LJ7)

A method of searching areas of space for targets. It was best used as a long-range detection system. (SCRE)

Tachyon Flier
This battered YV-888 light freighter was discovered by Lowbacca in the hold of the Baanu Rass, and the Jedi team dispatched to the worldship hoped to use it to escape from the Yuuzhan Vong, once they had eliminated the voxyn queen. After Raynar Thul was injured by a voxyn, he was placed aboard the Tachyon Flier in preparation for the group's escape. However, the ship was commandeered by Welk and Lomi Plo, who jettisoned Lowbacca before takeoff. However, they were unaware that Raynar Thul was still inside. As they blasted into space, the Tachyon Flier was picked up by Yuuzhan Vong sensors, and was almost immediately attacked. In no time, the ship's shields gave out, and the Tachyon Flier was believed to have been destroyed. All aboard the ship were thought ot have died in the blast. However, this conjecture was eventually proven false when the Colony rose to prominence in the Unknown Regions about five years later. The crash site of the Tachyon Flier was discovered on Yoggoy, deep in the Unknown Regions, by Jacen Solo. All three passengers managed to survive, with the help of the Yoggoy insect hive. Raynar Thul was integrated into the Unu hive and became UnuThul, the enigmatic leader who helped grow the Colony. Welk and Lomi Plo were also rescued by a hive, which became known as the Gorog. The site of the crash became known as Ub Ruur, a sacred place to the Colony. (SBS, NJOSB, DN1)

It was later discovered that Tac-Spec had been formed as a front for the GenoHaradan Assassin Guild, who had joined forces with the Sorcerers of Tund to produce the Footman for its members. (NEGD)

Tactical Channel 5
This was the transmission frequency that was set aside by the Empire's military forces for use by TIE Fighter pilots. Also known as tac-fiver, this frequency allowed pilots to check in with their squad leader before beginning a mission. This was a low-powered channel with a limited range, which allowed the pilots to communicate without the transmissions being intercepted by enemy sensors. This also allowed pilots to communicate without being overheard by the communications officers on their home vessel, provided the squad was far enough away from the ship. (DSTR)

Tactile Writing
This was the generic term used to describe any form of non-verbal communication that used patterns or collections of physical objects to convey a meaning. Many of the forms of tactile writing utilized string or scraps of cloth that were tied into certain configurations to denote letters, words, and phrases. These could be read equally well with either the eyes or the fingers, making them accessible to a wider range of individuals. The variety of tactile writing forms was quite enormous, from the "strings of ancestors" of the Aalagar to the coded messages used by prisoners in the Spice Mines of Kessel, as well as the memory cords of the Twi'lek race.

Those who studied tactile writing, known as khipulogists or fiber-record analysts, saw their chosen field of study elevated to the forefront after the discovery of the Lorrd Artifact. (LF1, LF3, LF5)

Tactile Writings in the Kanz Sector
This article was written by Heilan Rotham for Historiana Galactica Quarterly, and contained an investigation of the various forms on tactile writing that were used by races of the Kanz Sector. (OWS)

Tacto
This was one of the two major cities, along with Aubendo, found on the planet Radnor. Together, they were considered the Twin Cities. Some five years after the Battle of Naboo, Tacto was also known as the Clear Sector, when a plague was unleashed in the city of Aubendo. The two cities were isolated from each other, in order to minimize the spread of the plague. After it was discovered that the Avoni were using the plague to hide their plans for invasion, the natives of Tacto refused to assist in helping the survivors in Aubendo, preferring to remain in their homes and safeguard their posessions from Avoni threats. (JQ1)

Tadar'Ro
This member of the Aing-Tii race was chosen to greet Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, when the pair traveled into the Kathol Rift, several years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Luke had been exiled from his position as Grand Master of the Jedi Order, as a way to atone for the damage done to the galaxy by Darth Caedus. Instead of sulking, Luke decided to follow the travels of Jacen Solo, the Jedi Caedus had once been, in order to understand what might have happened to draw him to the Dark Side of the Force. After spending time with the Baran Do Sages, the Skywalkers sought out the Aing-Tii, and Tadar'Ro was chosen to initiate contact with the two humans. Tadar'Ro initially used the Force to communicate, allowing the Skywalkers to sense him as if they were woven together like a piece of cloth. With this initial link, Tadar' Ro communicated the will of the other Aing-Tii in his community, until he and the others could determine whether or not the Skywalkers were trustworthy. After determining that the Skywalkers were not a threat, Tadar'Ro was allowed to speak to them in Basic, using a specialized translation unit that was attached to his chest. Tadar'Ro revealed that he had been one of the few Aing-Tii to live and work with Jorj Car'das, whose knowledge of the rest of the galaxy had helped the Aing-Tii, and led to the development of the chest-mounted translation device. Tadar'Ro even took the voice of Jorj Car'das to be the synthesized voice that came out of the translator. Because of his work with Car'das, Tadar'Ro was chosen to be the liaison with the Skywalkers.

Tadar'Ro later explained that his relationship with Car'das was also the reason he was chosen to work with Jacen Solo, when the young man arrived at the Kathol Rift in search of new ways to perceive the Force. In the days that followed, the Aing-Tii deliberated about Luke's request to learn about Jacen's time among them, until they decided that Luke and Ben would be allowed to study the Relics. If they were able to determine the truth behind Those Who Dwell Beyond the Veil, then the Aing-Tii would provide Luke with any information they had on Jacen Solo's time with them. Because of the time he had spent with Car'das and Solo, Tadar'Ro was quite comfortable working with the Skywalkers, which helped set the two humans at ease, and allowed them to carry out their task without any unnecessary fear or trouble. However, not all the Aing-Tii welcomed the presence of the Skywalkers, and Tadar'Ro was appalled when an unknown assailant attacked the humans while they were resting aboard their starship, the Jade Shadow. Realizing that time was of the essence, Tadar'Ro took the Skywalkers to the Embrace, so that they could begin their task of understanding the Relics. Unfortunately, Luke and Ben were unable to learn anything about Those Who Dwell Beyond the Veil, a revelation that made Tadar'Ro both saddened and happy, because it gave the Aing-Tii the knowledge that they were in command of their own destiny. Honoring this wishs of his people, Tadar'Ro then taught Ben Skywalker the flow-walking technique, and he also gave Luke some instruction on how to use the Force to move an object through time and space, in much the same way that Sanhedrim ships moved through the Kathol Rift.

In the days that followed, Luke explained about the strange sensation of an evil presence in the Maw cluster of black holes, and Tadar'Ro explained that Jacen Solo had felt a similar presence when he was staying with the Aing-Tii. Tadar'Ro explained that the Maw was the home of the Mind Drinkers, and he warned the Skywalkers not to travel to the Maw in an attempt to find them. When Luke explained that he had to qualms about heading to the Maw, Tadar'Ro went on to explain that Jacen had also set his mind to traveling there. As a parting gift, Tadar'Ro gave the Skywalkers the same riddle he had give Jacen: "The Path of Enlightenment runs through the chasm of Perfect Darkness. The way is narrow and treacherous, but if you can follow it, you will find what you ask." When Luke questioned what this meant, Tadar' Ro simply explained that Luke needed to figure that out for himself. (FJ2)

Tadavv, Napvansa
This Sluissi engineer was known for her good work, although she often doubled or tripled her repair-time estimates so that she would look good when she came in before the deadline.

Tadrin, Cassander
This Esselian man was the head of a privately-owned conglomerate that owned some twenty-four agricultural worlds in the Core Worlds, a century before the Clone Wars. He grew bored with the trappings of life in the Core, and invested a great deal of credits to purchase a swarm of survey droids. These droids were sent into the Outer Rim to look for a suitable world for him to relocate on. The world, which became known as Cassander, proved attractive to many of Tadrin's employees. So, he sold his shares in the conglomerate and arranged for thousands of his loyal employees and their families to settle Cassander. (GORW)

Tadrin, Luthus
A native of the planet Garqi, Luthus Tadrin spent his youth on Minashee, where he was known as a playboy. Upon returning to Garqi during the early years of the New Order, Luthus was refused roles and responsibilities within his family, after it was learned that he had become an Imperial supporter. Instead, he took on roles working for the Imperial officers in the Cassandran Worlds, and was eventually named Governor of the Tadrin Sector of the galaxy just before the Battle of Endor. His decision to join the Empire made him an outcast from his own family, although he maintained access to the family's fortunes. After the Emperor's death at Endor, Luthus became reclusive, preferring to remain at luxurious resorts on Spira and Shulxi. (GORW)

Tafanda Bay
A floating city like many others on Ithor, the Tafanda Bay was a self-contained ecosystem, mimicking the planet's environment while providing many technological necessities. The Tafanda Bay was one of the few Sky Yards-class herdships that were bound to planetary duty on Ithor, because much of its ecosystem was external rather than contained beneath transparisteel domes. It was commanded by an Ithorian named Momaw Nadon until a passing Imperial Star Destroyer threatened to destroy the planet if Nadon didn't cooperate. Nadon It had been the flagship of the Ithorian Grand Fleet for a number of years. Following the destruction of the Empire after the Battle of Endor, Momaw Nadon returned to take his place as the leader of Tafanda Bay. In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, and their destruction of the planet Ithor, the Tafanda Bay was one of the few refuges where Ithorians could live. (SCRE, DA, SWSB, EGV, GMR4)

Tag
This clone trooper was part of Shadow Squadron, during the height of the Clone Wars. When Shadow Squadron was ordered to intercept General Grievous and the Malevolence near the Kaliida Nebula, Tag was among the first casualties of the battle that followed. Another clone pilot, Matchstick, suffered damaged to his portside stabilizer inoperative, and he tried to keep up with his squadmates by pushing his engines as hard as he could. Unfortunately, this overloaded one engine, causing it to explode. Matchstick's Y-Wing careened out of control and smashed into Tag's fighter. Both ships exploded in a massive fireball, killing both troopers and taking three other Shadow Squadron ships out of the battle. (CWTV03)

Tag, Maiferri

Tag, Rodick
This noted Iotran bounty hunter was a former Braceman and a member of the Granse Confederacy. After leaving the service of the Braceman Council, Tag decided to earn a living as a bounty hunter. He was known to have captured several Alliance agents and officers while in the employ of Moff Garret Callron, before he joined the Granse Confederacy as a full-time hunter. (GG12, AIR)

Tagdel
This wealthy woman was Joram Kithe's doting aunt. She supported Joram's early education, but learned that he was not as motivated as she had first thought. In order to force Joram to recognize that work was an important part of life, Tagdel used her connections in the Old Republic's Ministry of Finance to get him a job in the accounting division. (SWI65)

Taggar, Jennie Lee
Rone Taggar's mother, Jennie Lee was a starfighter pilot who joined the Alliance. She flew a Y-Wing during the Battle of Endor, but was shot down and killed in the battle. (SOL)

Taggar, Rone
This New Republic pilot was among those who drew reconnaissance duty during the Yevethan Purge. He was chosen to fly his X-Wing, the Jennie Lee, in a flash pass over N'zoth. The New Republic desparately needed information on the Yevethan defenses, and ordered reconnaissance of the 13 major Yevethan worlds. Taggar managed to gather a large amount of data on the planet before being overtaken by the Yevethan warship Beauty of Yevetha. Rather than be captured or betray the Republic, Rone programmed his X-Wing to self-destruct as it was drawn into the warship's hangar bay. His death, and the destruction of his ship, caused a great deal of damage to the Beauty of Yevetha and allowed the Republic to receive his reconnaissance data. (SOL)

Taggart

One of the many sons of the noted Tagge family, Cassio Tagge was also in command of the Army forces deployed on the battle station.

In the wake of the capture of the Tanbtive IV, General Tagge became worried about the growth of the Rebellion and its possession of the plans to the first Death Star, for he had discovered the flawed exhaust port an knew its significance. However, he lacked the personality and courage to speak out about it. He was described as slimy and noisome. Tagge was later killed when the Alliance was able to destroy the first Death Star during the Battle of Yavin. (E4, E4N, MTS, DSTC, GORW, SWI96)

Tagge, Domina
This woman, a member of the wealthy Tagge family, was shipped off to the planet Monastery to join the Order of the Sacred Circle, in an effort to preserve her innocence. Sister Domina eventually became a priestess of the Order, and was known for her leadership of the sisterhood on Monastery. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, she found herself in the midst of political intrigue as the Order's leaders decide that they were ready to side with either the Empire or the Alliance in the Galactic Civil War. At the same time, her brother Ulric traveled to Monastery to talk her into allying herself with Vader in order to avenge the death of their brother Orman at the hands of Luke Skywalker. In a devlish scheme, requested that Skywalker serve as the Alliance's representative to Monastery, during the negotiations with the Empire. Of course, the Empire's representative was none other than Darth Vader himself. Luke, smitten with Domina's beauty, was unaware that Domina had already allied herself with Vader. She and vader manipulated the members of the Order of the Sacred Circle to revoke the power of the Circle of Elders and name her High Priestess. Her first order was to have Luke killed and the Alliance destroyed, ostensibly as threats to the great circle of life. It was decided that Skywalker and Vader should duel to the death in the Crystal Valley; Domina had manipulated them both into a position which would result in both their deaths, avenging the Tagge family once and for all. Howeer, her plans were thwarted by both Vader and Skywalker, and Domina was forced to relinquish her position as High Priestess. She allowed the Order of the Sacred Circle to ally itself with the Alliance, but she never forgave Skywalker for killing her brother. Later, Domina tried to take control of the universe by unleashing the Crimson Forever. She had a team infiltrate the Red Nebula and steal one of the huge gemstones that protected it. She then placed it aboard a Star Destroyer and set it adrift in Alliance-controlled space. She hoped that the Alliance would bring the gemstone out of the ship, thereby affecting countless billions of beings before anything could be done to stop the disease. Her plans failed when Chewbacca revealed to Leia Organa and Lando Calrissian what the gemstones really were, prompting a mission to return the gemstone to the Red Nebula. Leia abandoned Domina Tagge on the fringes of the Red Nebula, after obtaining the second crystal. (LTA2, MC35, MC36, MC37, MC50)

Tagge, Orman
This Imperial Baron was the older brother of Cassio Tagge, the Imperial officer killed aboard the first Death Star. Orman Tagge was, at one time, the leader of the Corporate Sector Authority, and helped the mega-organization gain complete independence from the Empire. In exchange, the CSA was required to funnel credits and resources to the Imperial war machine for little to no profit. Orman Tagge was also the charismatic leader of the Tagge Company, and used his influence to gain access to Emperor Palpatine during the early months of the New Order.

Tagge did his best to position TaggeCo to reap the rewards of several key Imperial contracts, but found himself under the watchful eye of Darth Vader. Vader questioned Tagge's commitment to the Imperial ideal, and confronted him about his putting TaggeCo profits before the Empire. When Tagge refused to back down, he was blinded by Vader, who used his lightsaber to cauterize Tagge's eyeballs in their sockets. This forced Orman to use a cyborg vision system to see.

During his recovery, Orman became skilled in the use of a lightsaber, although it was not known if he was ever trained by a Jedi Knight. Much of his lightsaber training was geared toward revenge, as Orman wanted nothing more than to defeat Vader in combat in return for his lost eyesight.

He masterminded a plot to reveal the location of the Alliance's bases in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, as part of a powerplay to discredit Vader in the Emperor's eyes. Under the pretense of mining spice near Yavin, Tagge took a family cruiser and landed on one of Yavin's remote moons. There, he established a giant space station in the very heart of Yavin's atmosphere. Using sophisiticated turbines, the station created tunnels through the swirling gases, allowing TIE Fighters to travel to and from the station. These TIE Fighters then launched a series of attacks on the Alliance's base on Yavin 4, hitting swiftly and then disappearing. The existence of this space station was discovered by Luke Skywalker, who managed to capture one of the modules used on TIE Fighters to create smaller tunnels when in communication with the station. Skywalker managed to destroy the station, but Orman Tagge ordered a retreat as soon as Skywalker's mission became clear. His main crew made it back to his personal ship, which then followed Skywalker out of Yavin's atmosphere.

Tagge vowed revenge against Skywalker as well, for foiling his plans to win the Emperor's favor. The failure at Yavin cast all of Tagge's Imperial contracts in doubt, and he was forced to review every project he was handling and report back to the Emperor personally. Orman hoped that the Omega Frost device, developed by his brother Silas, would save the Tagge name. He planned to use it within the asteroids separating Yavin from Junction, cutting off a major supply route. He believed himself prepared when Skywalker once again tried to foils his plans.

However, in a lightsaber battle with the youngster, Tagge nearly lost his life. Luke was able to destroy Orman's cybernetic vision unit, leaving him completely blind. Luke escaped, and Orman when into a state of shock over the fact that Luke had allowed him to live. Unfortunately for the Tagge family, the trap they had laid at Junction backfired. The Alliance fleet they hoped to destroy discovered the plans for the Omega Frost, and fired on the Baron's personal starship. In minutes, the ship suffered catastrophic damage and exploded. Orman and Silas, however, survived the blast in a sealed chamber, which was recovered by Darth Vader. Vader kept the Tagge brothers in suspended animation, for his own later use. Orman, however, overcame the suspension and managed to escape by stowing away aboard the Millennium Falcon.

He managed to reach the surface of Monastery, hoping to make contact with his sister, Domina. Unfortunately, Orman was intercepted by Darth Vader once again, who was on Monastery at Domina's bidding. Vader forced Orman to meet Luke Skywalker in combat, although Orman's appearance was altered by the Force. Luke fully believed he was fighting Vader, but his killing blow disintegrated the illusion. Orman died from the injury, as Vader's final "punishment" for his treachery. (MC25, MC26, MC30, MC33, MC34, MC36, MC37, NEGW, EAEG)

Tagge, Sanya
This woman was a Baroness in the Tagge family during the last decades of the Old Republic. Baroness Tagge, by her leadership of the Tagge family, was in control of the House of Tagge during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. She pledged the support and resources of TaggeCo to Chancellor Palpatine, during the wave of unrest which followed the secession of many worlds from the Republic. (HNN4)

Tagge, Silas
This man, the middle brother of the Tagge family, was one of the many scientific minds behind the technologies produced by House of Tagge. A balding man with jet-black hair worn long where it still grew, Silas was a man who believed whole-hearted in the advances of science. He refused to eat real meat, instead favoring the instant nutrition and simplicity of food pastes. Among Silas' most interesting inventions was the Omega Frost device, which was successfully tested in the deserts of Tatooine. Silas lacked his older brother's need for vengeance, and chose to be pragmatic about things such as the Alliance. However, when Luke Skywalker managed to disable one of the Omega Frost generating devices in the asteroid belt near Junction, Silas saw his grandest invention suddenly fail. His mind began to crack, and he could not longer operate on his own. He retreated into the medical facility aboard the Tagge ship, hoping to rouse his brother and get him working on solving the problem. However, the Alliance ships they had planned to destroy were free to reach Junction, and took a slight detour to eliminate the Tagge threat. In minutes, the combined firepower of the meager Alliance fleet destroyed the Tagge ship, killing all aboard. Silas and Orman, however, survived the blast in a sealed chamber, which was recovered by Darth Vader. Vader kept the Tagge brothers in suspended animation, for his own later use. (MC31, MC32, MC33, MC34)

Tagge, Ulric
This man, the younger brother of Baron Orman Tagge, was a General in the Imperial armed forces during the height of the Galactic Civil War. While he hated the fact that Orman continued to launch crazy schemes in an effort to further the family fortunes, Ulric understood that he had more to gain if the Tagge family could become more valuable to the Emperor. To this end, Ulric often manipulated military contracts in order to further the Tagge family's businesses, and paved the way for new Tagge technology to be introduced. Ulric found himself named Baron of the Tagge family estate when both of his older siblings, brothers Orman and Silas, were killed in the Omega Frost debacle at Junction. However, Ulric was confronted by Darth Vader shortly afterward, who revealed that he had recovered the bodies of Orman and Silas. Using their reanimation as a pressure point, Vader forced Ulric to agree to his own plans, not those of the Tagge family. (MC31, MC34)

The huge, powerful, and diverse Tagge Company was owned and operated by the influential House of Tagge, based on the planet Tepasi. It had an incredibly wide variety of products, and were similar in some respects to SoroSuub. TaggeCo also owned Mobquet Swoops and Speeders, Tagge Industries, and Trast Heavy Transports. During the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, TaggeCo was one of the many corporations that was allied with the Trade Federation. However, in the wake of the battle and the Federation's reprimandation, TaggeCo severed all ties to the Federation, claiming that it could no longer trust the Federation's leadership. TaggeCo was one of the original Signatory Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. During the Clone Wars, TaggeCo remained neutral, but came to side with the Empire during the Galactic Civil War after several prominent TaggeCo executives were given positions as Imperial officers. With the Emperor's death at the Battle of Endor, TaggeCo agreed to work closely with the New Republic, ensuring that its corporate revenues would continue to flow in. (EGV, CSA, HNN4, NEGW)

Tagger
Developed by Culcanis MicroInstruments, this stylus contained a small transponder dart at its tip.

Tahl
This Jedi Master was a native of the planet Noori, and was a contemporary of Qui-Gon Jinn when she was sent to Melida/Daan to mediate the civil war that had engulfed the planet. Tahl had been brought to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant when she was a six-year-old with a sharp tongue and a way of reading people's secrets, and had trained with Qui-Gon. Both reached the level of Jedi Knight at about the same time, discovering their bond after a chance meeting on Zekulae. She was known among the Jedi for her diplomatic skills and her patience with others, although she never took a padawan. Tahl was wounded and captured by the Melida shortly after the Twenty-Second Battle of Zehava, when she was dispatched to Melida/Daan to help negotiate a peace treaty. Qui-Gon and his padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, were dispatched to locate her, but they were captured by Wehutti and the Melida as well. They were rescued by members of The Young, who led them to Tahl's severely wounded body. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan managed to rescue Tahl, and got her prompt medical attention off-planet. However, as a result of the injuries she suffered at the hands of the Melida, Tahl was rendered blind. Her connection with the Force remained strong, though, and she found she could still "see" with its help. In the wake of the Melida-Daan incident, Tahl chose not to take on a Padawan learner, and traveled to Centax 2 to look into Clee Rhara's starfighter training facility. After the sabotage was linked to Vox Chun, Tahl returned to Coruscant and took Bant Eerin as her Padawan. When Ewane was killed on New Apsolon, Tahl demanded to be sent to the planet to discover the truth. She managed to infiltrate the Absolutes, but had to break off all contact with Coruscant in order to maintain her cover. When Qui-Gon traveled to the planet to help her, she initially chafed at his intrusion. However, her love for him overcame her anger, and she accepted his help. While searching for the Absolutes' base of power, Tahl pledged her life to Qui-Gon when he told her of his devotion to her. Unfortunately, her cover had been blow, and Tahl was forced to flee. She was pursued and captured by Balog's forces, who believed that she had a list of those Workers who were informants to the Absolutes. Tahl did not have the list, but told Balog otherwise so that he would keep her alive. Qui-Gon managed to rescue her, but she was too weak to continue living. Balog had caused severe damage to her body with his interrogation drugs, and Tahl was barely able to escape from his base. After Qui-Gon brought her to Manex's residence, doctors struggled to help her, but they were unable to save her. Tahl died knowing that Qui-Gon loved her with all his heart. (DOD, UP, JAD, TTB, DOH)

This was one of the ancient sub-classes that made up the Twi'lek culture on Ryloth. The ancient Tahu'ip used a form of knot-tying as a way to record their history, rather than using writing. The Tahu'ip method of knot-tying went out of use some 460 years before the Battle of Yavin, but continued to be studied by scholars for many decades. (LF1)

Tahv
Located near the Cetajan Mountains, this settlement was considered the capital city of the planet Kesh. It was originally established more than 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, when a group of Sith Lords crash-landed on the planet when their ship, the Omen, was damaged. The city was surrounded by heavy walls, which were constructed to defend the city against the huge creatures that roamed the planet. With the help of the native Keshiri, the Sith were able to keep the creatures at a safe distance until the walls could be constructed. The walls were maintained for millennia, ensuring that future generations would also be safe. Over time, as the Sith recovered from the crash and began to assert their dominance over the planet, the walls were no longer maintained for defense, but were adorned with artwork and various forms of plantlife to make them distinctively beautiful. The Sith Lords drew upon the Force to cause different species of plants to grow into intricate patterns, usually a double-helix shape. They also used the Force to create unusual, levitating fountains and wondrous glass sculptures. (FJI, LTS2, FJ2)

Tai
This name was common among the Nagai race. (GMR1)

Tai
This Nagai male, whose full name was Taikotelai Akikoma, was captured by Leia Organa and four Zeltrons - Rahuhl, Marruc, Jahn, and Bahb - on the planet Trenwyth, shortly after the Nagai decimated its population. He had been the victim of torture at the hands of an unknown being, and was terrified when captured by them. He whined the entire time that the Alliance team was waiting for a rescue ship, since their own vessel was damaged in the fighting for Trenwyth. He seemed to develop an emotional attachment to Leia during his captivity, as she was the only member of the group to show him any compassion. It was later discovered that Tai was a wing leader in the Nagai Navy. When he returned to Nagi, Tai was killed by his commanding officer, Den Siva, for accepting the help of Organa and the Zeltrons. (LTA6, MC103, GMR1)

Tai, Durga Besadii
A Hutt - the only offspring of Aruk the Hutt - was a minor crimelord who rose to power a decade after Jabba the Hutt's death. Durga was larger than Jabba, and was distinguishable by the large, dark green birthmark on his face. Aruk took a huge chance in raising Durga, given that the birthmark would make his socially unacceptable. Durga was only 100 standard years of age when the Empire reached its height, serving Aruk until the old Hutt was poisoned by Jabba and Jiliac, through Teroenza. Durga suspected foul play, but couldn't prove it, so he had Aruk's body frozen and shipped to Coruscant for an autopsy. Durga exercised his right to take control of the Besadii clan, but met with strong opposition. The mysterious deaths of several Besadii Hutts quieted the resistance, deaths which Durga had arranged through a tenuous alliance with Black Sun. As Durga rose in power, Prince Xizor realized that he could control a good portion of Hutt business by controlling Durga. The Hutt was continually cautioned against selling Besadii out to the Falleen prince, but the need for Black Sun's help became too great. In the midst of his dealings with Xizor, Durga forced Jiliac's hand under the Hutt Old Law, and successfully dispatched the Desilijic leader. Xizor, working in the background, stifled Durga's investigation and manipulated him into a business deal in which Xizor gave the information in return for data on Nal Hutta's shields and weaponry. Durga fell deeper into Xizor's debt when he hired Nova Force to help defend Ylesia, an operation which led to the deaths of much of Nova Force's personnel and the complete loss of the Ylesian operation. The complete loss of Ylesia led Durga to eventually become one of Prince Xizor's vigo's, commanding his own moderate empire. He and many of his retainers allow any number of taurill to accompany them wherever they travel. Durga obtained the secret codes Jabba had hidden in his Tatooine citadel. The codes provided Durga with access to the New Republic's central databases on Coruscant. He had also contracted the brilliance of the latest clone of Bevel Lemelisk, whom he promised carte blanche to rebuild a better weapon. However, like many Hutts, Durga was always searching for bargains, and many of the systems and components were poorly made or outdated. It was Durga who executed Crix Madine aboard the Darksaber, and it was on the doomed station that Durga died, when it was crushed between two huge planetoids in the Hoth asteroid field.

Native to the planet Socorro, this desert-dwelling reptile resembled a small, winged dragon. Also known as sand dragons, tailrings lived near the underground water oases of the planet in small groups. Their skin was covered with black scales and patches of short fur, and the shed their annualy. Each molting produced a new knob of hard skin on their tails, which eventually formed a kind of rattle. Tailrings were attracted to shiny objects, and were considered excellent thieves. However, they were also considered a good-luck charm by Socorran pirates, who strive to find one in the desert. Tailrings bond almost instantly to a being they identify with, forming a lifelong bond. The pirates welcome their company because, for an unexplained reason, tailrings love to eat mynocks, and they will attack any mynocks attached to their owner's ship. (BSS)

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

Tainer, Doran
This was the name of the son, born to Kell Tainer and Tyria Sarkin several years after the defeat of Warlord Zsinj. He was somewhat sensitive to the Force, and his mother spent many years travelling the galaxy with him, in an effort to expand their horizons. Doran eventually found his way to Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum, and trained to become a Jedi Knight. His training took place in the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, and he achieved the rank of Knight just before the Corellian System threatened to secede from the Galactic Alliance. Distinguished by his rugged good looks, Doran served as part of Team Tauntaun, some ten years after the end of the Yuuzhan Vong war, as part of the GA's mission to prevent the secession. However, the team fell into a trap that had been set up after the Corellian leadership learned of the mission, and only barely escaped with their lives. (EL1, LF1)

Tainer, Kell
A human male from the planet Sluis Van, Kell was one of the first pilots to serve in Wraith Squadron. His real last name was Doran, but after the death of Kissek Doran, his mother changed their name and tried to start again. She moved her family to Alderaan just before the Empire destroyed the planet, and only Kell was offplanet when the Death Star arrived. This series of actions galvanized his resolve to fight back against the Empire, and Kell joined the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Kell served as a mechanic at the Sluis Van Shipyards, before they were destroyed during the struggle against Grand Admiral Thrawn. He then joined the New Republic and was a demolitions expert with Page's Commandos. Kell then demonstrated an ability to fly starfighters in simulation, and was given the chance to try the real thing. However, after he crashed a Z-95 Headhunter and an X-Wing in practice - claiming unresponsive controls each time - he was demoted from the pilot ranks. Wedge Antilles was impressed enough with his abilities, though, to offer him a spot with the Wraiths. When Kell realized that Wes Janson - the man who was forced to shoot down Kissek - was also part of the Wraiths, he balked. Wedge Antilles maneuvered him into staying with the Wraiths, however. Kell served as the Squadron's demolition's expert and it's backup mechanic. After the capture of the Night Caller, Kell fell in love with Tyria Sarkin. When the Wraiths were called upon to defend Talasea from an attack by Apwar Trigit, Kell worked hard to protect his fellow Wraiths. For his bravery and ingenuity, he was promoted to Lieutenant. His unusual tactics and skills also attracted the notice of Starfighter Command, and they awarded him the Kalidor Crescent. During the hunt for Warlord Zsinj, Tainer assumed the identity of Lieutenant Dissek, a member of the Hawk-bat Independent Space Force. After Zsinj was defeated, Kell and Tyria were married, and a son was born to them shortly afterward. Years later, as the fight against the Yuuzhan Vong progressed, Tainer continued to work as a Wraith Intelligence officer. He was part of the group which ended up on Borleias in the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant. Kell retired from military service after the Yuuzhan Vong War, and although he maintained his piloting abilities, he let his hair grow into a long ponytail and grew out his drooping mustache. His friends claimed that he looked more like a pirate than a former military officer, which suited Kell just fine. When Lando Calrissian sent out a call to help save the planet Kessel, Kell Tainer volunteered his services as a pilot and a demolitions expert to eliminate the strange caches of explosives that were discovered in the planet's caverns. (WS, IF, EL1, GMR9, FJ1)

Tainer, Tyria Sarkin
This blonde-haired woman, a native of the planet Toprawa, was member of the Antarian Rangers and was one of the first pilots to serve in Wraith Squadron. All members of her family were killed when the Empire subjugated Toprawa, after it was discovered that the plans for the first Death Star were transmitted from there, and she survived using her ranger skills until the New Republic rescued here. She had a small sensitivity to the Force, although a short series of training sessions with Luke Skywalker led him to believe she didn't have the depth of ability to become a Jedi Knight.

This shattered one of her dreams, because she longed to gain more strength with the Force. However, the New Republic wanted her to train as a pilot, hoping that her sensitivity to the Force would make her a better pilot. By her initial scores, she wasn't cut out to be a pilot. She was approached by her commanding officer, Colonel Repness, who had altered her failing grades to make them passable, then threatened to blackmail her if she didn't assist him in stealing an X-Wing. She refused, and Repness had her thrown out of the training program, citing "gross insubordination." However, her scores were good enough to attract the attention of Wedge Antilles, and she became part of the Wraiths. Her training with the Antarian Rangers allowed her to become the squadron's scout. It was Tyria who came up with the name "Wraith Squadron."

She soon fell in love with Kell Tainer, and their relationship continued to grow with Wedge's quiet assent. Her tiny sensitivity to the Force helped the Wraiths during their attempt to infiltrate the Binring Biomedical facility on Saffalore, as she could feel the residual pain and anguish of the creatures that were tested there. Tyria spent some time training with the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, before she and Kell were married. Tyria eventually attained the rank of Jedi Knight, an event which continued to elate her as the years went by and the New Republic fell into disrepair.

While Kell remained a member of the Wraiths and fought against the Yuuzhan Vong, Tyria began travelling the galaxy with their young son, Doran, teaching him about the Force and expanding his - and her own - horizons. Tyria and her family were among the handful of Jedi Knights and their supporters who ultimately survived the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. She continued to serve as part of Grand Master Luke Skywalker's new Jedi Order, and was named to the Red Sword Flight during the height of the Galactic Alliance's war with The Confederation. She also served as Rakehell Seven during a mission to disable Centerpoint Station. (WS, IF, SOC, EL1, UF, LF7)

Taire, Bufon
This well-muscled, dark-skinned man worked as the bartender at the Outlander Club, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. Many of his patrons believed that Taire watered down his drinks, but never confronted him about it because his prices were reasonable.

Taivas
This remote moon orbited the planet Zhar. The moon was home to a species of floating, octopus-like gas bags that lived in the canyons that covered its rocky surface. It was on this strange world that the Jedi Order established a secret Hidden Temple, during the years leading up to the Sith-Imperial War, in case the Jedi ever needed to hide out from a stronger enemy. The Hidden Temple was known to only a handful of Jedi Knights and Masters, so that knowledge of its existence did not become commonplace. The moon's rocky deserts were split by wide canyons and deep rifts, and the rock that formed the moon's crust was capable of affecting a being's ability to sense another's presence in the Force. The proximity of the planet Zhar caused all manner of trouble with subspace and hyperspace communications, forcing the Jedi to construct a communications relay near the Hidden Temple. (SWLHT)

It was most often used to direct the fire of those gunners who were manning missile launchers, as each utterance of "Take!" meant to fire a single round of projectiles. (SWI87)

Take That!
This modified YT-1210 freighter was owned and operated by Falan Iniro. It saw duty as a war ship during the Battle of Nar Shaddaa, but was destroyed when Iniro jumped the gun on the smugglers' counterattack.

Take Them On
This song, written and played by the band Red Shift Limit, first appeared on the compilation Thoughts from the Core. It was banned by the Imperial Board of Culture. (GG9)

Takeel
This burned-out Snivvian mercenary was known in Mos Eisley as a spice-addicted double-crosser. He turned many individuals over to the Empire. Takeel was the twin brother of Zutton, and was the first of the pair to speak and walk. He was forced to undergo personality reprogramming in order to avoid any genetic problems, but the operations left him with little remaining to his own mind. He later worked for Jabba the Hutt as a small-time bounty hunter, and was ordered to recover the missing accounting droid CZ-3. Takeel caught up with the droid, only to have Tols Vengra confront him. The Jenet claimed that the droid was the property of Opun Mcgrrrr. Unfortunately for both Takeel and the Jenet, Zutton blasted the droid to pieces. (CCG, MTSE, SWJ11)

Takel, Griff
This Imperial governor was placed in charge of the political situation on Esseles when Palpatine instituted the New Order. He was often involved in military and political struggles with the Hall President Ralle, who wanted the Esselian militia to have more latitude to control the planet, without Imperial interference. (SWJ7, SWJ8, SWJ9)

Takel, Miltin
This man was one of the Empire's twelve Grand Admirals. Takel was known as a brilliant strategist, and he was solely responsible for the Imperial victory at the Siege of Trasemene. Unknown to most of his peers, Takel was also addicted to glitterstim. He used the powerful stimulant to help him "foresee" the events of a battle, which gave his strategies a better chance of succeeding. Takel was aboard the second Death Star during the Battle of Endor, and was deep in the throes of a glitterstim high when the Alliance began its assault. He immediately felt the anxiety of Grand Admiral Declann and the death of Emperor Palpatine, and fled the space station before it was destroyed. When the Imperials regrouped at Kessel, Takel's heightened senses picked up a strange connection to the being chosen to succeed Palpatine, Trioculus. However, Takel went too far in questioning Trioculus' proposed tactics, and Trioculus had Takel executed for his insubordination. (SESB, ECH, SWI66)

Taken Up Mining
This slang phrase was commonly used in the Elrood Sector of the galaxy to describe any being who had tried to complete the Elrood-Derilyn Run during the height of the New Order, but had been captured by Imperial forces and sent into slavery. (PG3)

Takeoff
This slang term was used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe a mission in which the objective was to eliminate the main weapons of an enemy target, while leaving the rest of the target intact. These missions included the destruction of a defensive ion cannon while leaving its power plant intact, or the shooting of a group of bodyguards who were protecting an otherwise unarmed crimelord.

Takital
This Amanin term was used to describe a battle for control of planetary territory. In general, tribes of Amanin controlled various sections of the forest, with the grassy plains - known as the gruntak regions - separating tribal lands. Most takitals occurred when a tribe grew too large, and sent its extra members out into the grasslands to fend for themselves. Each takital was carried out in almost ritualistic fashion, with opposing tribes trying to gain control of their enemy's lands. (GG12, SWELM, NEGA)

Takkar, Anlys
This woman was married to Moff Derran Takkar. Equally devious and beautiful, Anlys was the perfect match for Derran's ruthless nature. After being stranded on Dolis 3 when the Imperial Remnant signed a peace accord with the New Republic, Derran and Anlys decided to try and disrupt the wedding of Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade. They hoped to hold the ceremony hostage while exacting a form of revenge on the Republic. When Derran's brute-force methods failed to get them anywhere on Coruscant, Anlys tried to get her hands on the wedding dress designed for Mara, in an effort to steal it and put a halt to the ceremony. She intercepted Jari'kyn and tried to steal the dress, but Banner Sumptor decided that her methods did not warrant his loyalty. Sumptor shot Anlys' escort, allowing Jari'kyn time to hit Anlys over the head and render her unconscious. Anlys was later imprisoned to await trial. (U)

Takkar, Derran
This man was the Imperial Moff of Dolis 3, a position he attained shortly before the Battle of Endor. He remained staunchly loyal to the Empire, something that was easy to do given Dolis 3's remote location from Coruscant. Takkar and his wife, Anlys, vowed to exact revenge on the New Republic, but were unable to determine the correct point in time to strike. Their opportunity came when it was announced that Luke Skywalker was going to marry Mara Jade. Takkar gathered his former officers - Banner Sumptor, Chik Apla, Chala Venan, and Iry Danta - and set off for Coruscant. There, they tried to disrupt the wedding in any way possible. Several plans failed, until Anlys suggested stealing Mara's wedding dress and putting a halt to the ceremony. This plan nearly succeeded, but Banner Sumptor disabled Anlys's escort, and Anlys was knocked unconscious by Jari'kyn. Derran realized that he had to take matters into his own hands, and infiltrated the wedding disguised as an Ithorian diplomat. Into his costume he placed a datapad loaded with a virus which would wipe out New Republic communications stations throughout the galaxy. He threatened to download the virus into the Republic's computers, destroying communications and fragmenting the fledgling Republic. Derran was unaware that the New Republic had shielded Coruscant's computers from just this sort of sabotage years before, and the plan was ultimately doomed. However, Luke Skywalker did not use the Force to coerce Derran or prevent him from triggering the virus anyway, and Derran found himself unsure about the propaganda he had read on the Republic. Ultimately, Luke offered him a chance to join the New Republic on his own terms, and Derran agreed to try. (U)

Takornan
This exotic world was the fourth planet in the Derilyn System, located in the Elrood Sector. It was a source of a large number of animal and mineral resources, and was orbited by a pair of moons. (PG3)

Takrab, Gode
This Neimoidian was one of the many who traveled to Naboo during the Trade Federation's blockade of the Naboo System. He was dispatched to the surface of Naboo to gather information on Queen Amidala's handwriting, in an effort to forge the documents which would have legitimized the Federation's occupation of Naboo, after Amidala fled with Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Unfortunately for the Federation, Gode Takrab was captured by the Naboo Underground before he could forge the documents. He tried to bribe his way to freedom, having hidden a finished copy of the documents in the memory cells of his protocol droid, TC-11, aboard his shuttle. The resistance fighters refused to bargain, and Takrab was held until the Battle of Naboo was over. (SON)

Tak-Tak
This young Whiphid was one of a handful of Jedi Padawans who were captured and held prisoner by General Grievous, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis.

Tal Nami System
The natives of this system require two foods in order to survive: the fruit of the egoa tree and the roots of the capabara plant. Unfortunately, they don't exist in the same region. So, in order to avoid their complete extinction, the Tal Nami natives developed an honorable and well-defined code of ethics that govern their trading. The underlying rule of any trade was that the other party should be getting the better deal. (GOF2)

Tala, Feeana
This female Mawan was one of the more powerful crimelords of the planet Mawan, during the years following the Great Purge. She was not as powerful as her rivals, Striker and Decca the hutt, but she did managed to gain control of the services and supplies in the city of Naatan in the wake of the civil war. Her rivals paid her little notice, but it was Feeana who supplied the tunnel workers with food and supplies. This earned her a great deal of respect from the underground dwellers, who were part of the largest faction of free Mawans on the planet. When she was approached by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yaddle, who were on Mawan to negotiate a settlement to the civil war, Feeana claimed that she wasn't a true crimelord. She was merely a successful thief who had been driven from her home by the Great Purge. However, she agreed to help the Jedi establish a peaceful government in return for amnesty and the right to remain on Mawan as a native. She supplied soldiers to help secure Naatan after the Jedi managed to wrest control of the city's power grids from Striker, but found herself helpless to protect her people against Striker's true identity, Granta Omega. Yaddle's sacrifice in absorbing a dihexalon bomb persuaded her to remain in the city, though, but only because she had decided to double-cross the Jedi. After assuring them of her cooperation, she formed a tentative alliance with Omega, and was able to deliver the Jedi into his hands. However, Feeana was unaware that Omega would sacrifice her life in order to ensure his own escape. Only the timely intervention of Anakin Skywalker saved her life, when Omega threw her from his transport as a distraction. (JQ6)

Talas
This dry, rocky planet, located in the Kamdon System, was a world which nonetheless had a kind of austere beauty to its appearance. Much of the planet was continually being reshaped by volcanic activity, but small continents made from tors and spires dotted the surface. The next planet in the system was a reddish-gold gas giant, which filled the horizon of Talas with blazing colors. The planet was purchased, some years before the Battle of Naboo, by the Quarren egg-mates, Tallet and Lekket. (HFAS)

Talasea
Situated as the fourth world in the Morobe System, this planet was located near the Galactic Core. Wedge Antilles' Rogue Squadron was moved there after its training on Folor, as part of an attempt to dissuade the remnants of the Empire from trying to overtake Coruscant before the New Republic could retake it. Talasea was the fourth planet from Morobe, a position which gave the planet a cool, moist environment. A farming settlement was established on one of the larger continents, but it was destroyed when Darth Vader discovered it was harboring a Jedi Knight after the Clone Wars. Much of the indigenous life was comprised of insects and reptiles. A population of feral banthas could also be found on the planet, likely formed from individuals that escaped from the farming settlements. (XWN, UA)

He flew an X-ball Ugly into Kala'uun Starport and challenged Wedge to a duel, with the kor as the reward for the winner. When Wedge accepted the challenge, Tal'dira then challenged Koh'shak's truthfulness in his business dealings. Tal'dira accused Koh'shak of keeping all ryll profits for himself, and Koh'shak could not refute the claim. Tal'dira took control of the negotiations, and gave the kor ryll to Wedge as a gift, warrior to warrior. Tal'dira later delivered a squadron of Chir'daki starfighters to Rogue Squadron, to supplement the forces going up against the Bacta Cartel. When Nawara Ven was shot down in the Battle of Thyferra, his injuries forced him out of the cockpit. Tal'dira accepted Wedge's offer to join the Rogues, and continued the tradition of a Twi'lek in the squadron by serving as Rogue Five. However, his tenure with the Rogues was cut short during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. In a bold move, Zsinj had his agents brainwash certain members of specific alien species in order to create a rift between the human and non-human races of the New Republic. This was known as Project Funeral,and Tal'dira was one of those beings brainwashed. When Galey gave him the code phrase "Wedge Antilles hops on one transparisteel leg," the implanted programming took over. He was compelled to kill Wedge, and got his chance over Jussafet 4. However, his sense of loyalty and honor cut in at the last moment, and he allowed himself to be shot down and killed by Corran Horn, rather kill his commanding officer. (KT, BW, SOC)

Talia
This woman was the hereditary Queen of Onderon, ruling over the planet and the moon of Dxun during the years following the Mandalorian Wars. Many citizens felt that Queen Talia and the members of her Royalist supporters were too disconnected from the population, and that she lacked the proper concern for her people. Some, like General Vaklu, took matters into their own hands, and tried to unseat the Queen in a blody coup attempt. Queen Talia, however, had enlisted the aid of The Exile and his companions, who exposed Tobin's part in the entire plot to overthrow her rule. As predicted by Kreia, Queen Talia had a long and prosperous rule. (KOTOR2)

Talia
This woman was living on the planet Lok, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Talid
This race of nomadic humanoids was native to the planet Ando Prime. Their thick skin provided them with a measure of protection against the harsh, wintry weather of the planet. The Talid society was very open, and there was little concept of trade, bargaining, or commerce. If a Talid needed something, they simply took it whenever they found it. Because of this social trait, the settlers who came to Ando Prime believed that the Talids were simple thieves. The Talids were already slightly xenophobic, and the growing number of offworld miners gave then cause to retreat further. When the offworlders began encroaching on their lands, the Talids began to fight back, using their knowledge of the planet's environment to offset their primitive weapons. (GMR2)

Talien
This Yarkora gambler lived on Onadax during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Han Solo beat Talien with a cubic sabacc once, much to the Yarkora's surprise.

Talking Bomb
This was the term used to describe the makeshift bombs that were constructed by the Ugnaughts of Cloud City, when they launched their rebellion against Imperial Captain Treece. Each of the twelve bombs built by the Ugnaughts was equipped with a droid brain, which powered up whenever a living being tried to approach the bomb. The droid brain was attached to a vocoder, and the droid began talking to the being nearest to its location, offering apparently sincere information on how to disarm it. As the Imperials discovered, however, this information actually armed the bomb and set it to explode. After Treece was removed from Cloud City, several black marketeers tried to sell these bombs, but their effectiveness was limited by the fact that many beings knew they were providing false information. (PH)

Talking Bone
This tyrossum bone was used by the Rock Council to signify which individual Wookiee had the right to speak at a council meeting.

Note that the Star Wars Adventure Journal, Issue 7 claims that Tallaan in a younger member of the Core Worlds. Tallaan benefited greatly from its location, being located at the intersection of the Shapani Bypass and the Giju Run. It was the home of one of the oldest shipyards in the galaxy, which was set up around the time of the Great Sith War. During the modern era, these shipyards were overrun by the Empire, and alien slaves were at first removed from their positions as laborers, After the formation of the Guild of Non-Human Skilled Laborers, aliens were allowed to maintain their jobs, and many were imported to perform the labor. A strong cell of Alliance support blossomed on Tallaan, but was never able to remove its Imperial yolk. The Empire officially noted Wilhuf Tarkin's death as a shuttle accident at the shipyards.

Decades later, it was believed that the government of Tallaan joined The Confederation, adding their shipyards to those of Corellia and Fondor, as more and more planets seceded from the Galactic Alliance. The new frigates that were obtained by the Bothans were said to have come from Tallaan. (SWJ7, CRO, PGT, LF5)

Tallaan Shipyards
This starship manufacturer was based on the planet Tallaan during the height of the New Order, and built most of its designs at its orbital repair depot. A recognized corporation, Tallaan Shipyards had been in business for millennia, producing a wide range of starships for civilian and corporate customers. The Tallaan Shipyards were nationalized by the Empire, in an effort to supplement the work being done by other pro-Imperial facilities. According to Imperial propaganda, Grand Moff Tarkin was killed during his arrival at the Tallaan Shipyards, shortly after the destruction of Alderaan. His shuttle malfunctioned upon approach and exploded, killing all aboard. This story helped Imperial officials cover up the truth about the Battle of Yavin. (SWJ3, TSIA, OWS, DBRT)

Tallaan Shipyards Orbital Repair Depot
This was the primary construction facility used by Tallaan Shipyards. It was located in orbit around Tallaan itself, and was constructed from a collection of aging spheres and platforms which could handle anything from a starfighter to an Imperial-class Star Destroyer. (TSIA)

Tallaga
This was one of the largest cities found on the planet Sucharme. The Trade Federation maintained a garrison in Tallaga, until it tried to force the natives of Sucharme to repay a debt. The garrison was shut down by the Federation, in an effort to eliminate any possible resistance from the armed forces of Sucharme. Unfortunately, many of the officers and soldiers escaped before the lockdown of the garrison was completed, and these insurgents led a successful resistance campaign against the Federation. (GCG)

Tallah Dynasty
This ancient dynasty had governed the planet Gala and its three tribes for many generations. The Tallah were the first rulers to unite the three tribes of the city, hills, and sea into a single people despite their deep-seated hatred of each other. However, over the years, the Tallah rulers became corrupt. King Cana of the Tallah was unable to prevent the more powerful families of Galacian culture from solidifying their own power bases, and the government became more distanced from the lower classes. After Cana's death, his wife Veda assumed control of the dynasty. Just over a decade before the Battle of Naboo, Queen Veda realized that the populace would not stand for the corruption of the dynasty any further, and opened up a general election to chose her successor. The elections were to have been mediated by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, but they were hijacked to the planet Phindar by Paxxi Derida. The Tallah maintained a country estate, well away from the demands of the government in Galu. Veda often retired to the estate during her illness, but was unable to travel during her last days. Note that Jedi Apprentice: The Hidden Past calls this the "Beju-Tallah" dynasty. (HP, MOC)

Tallak, Brryg
This was a noted figure in the history of the Nazzar people. (UANT)

Tallakron
This was the largest of Algara II's four moons. It was the site of a military outpost. (PG2)

Tallaso
This planet was under Imperial control during the Galactic Civil War. (HR)

Tallbirch
The wood of this hardwood tree was used in the creation of beautiful, handcrafted furniture. (SWG2P)

Tallek
This planet was under Imperial control when an outbreak of thorn fever hit. Instead of helping the sick, the Imperials rounded them all up and placed them in isolation camps to die. Thus, the disease was never researched, and a cure had never been found. (SWJ6)

Talleles
This gas giant was the sixth planet of the Essesia System. It was orbited by two moons. (CCW)

Tallera Downs
This was Nubia's largest and most spectacular ronto racing course. It was located south of Nuba City, and was the site of the Tallera Open. (CCW)

Tallera Open
This was the most prestigious ronto racing event held on the planet Nubia. It was held annually for the last decades of the Old Republic and into the New Order. (CCW)

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

Tallet
This Quarren and and his egg-mate, Lekket, were once native to the city of Heurkea, on the planet Calamari, until a business dealing with Senator Tikkes exposed some of their illicit dealings with the Hutts. Tikkes, rather than have his own name smeared because of his association with them, exposed them as criminals and had the Old Republic police shut down their operation. Tallet and Lekket escaped, and were forced to eke out an existence on Talas. During their escape, the two Quarren noticed that a Jedi Knight was assisting the police, and vowed to gain a measure of revenge on the Jedi for ruining their lives. Tallet himself was injured in the escape, his head and shoulders bathed in toxic fuel when the Jedi deflected a blaster bolt into the fuel cell. Lekket brought him to Balmorra, and paid a group of Colicoid scientists to restore as much of his body as they could. Tallet and Lekket later hired Aurra Sing to hunt down and kill Tikkes and the Jedi, whom they later identified as the Dark Woman, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. (HFAS)

Tallgrain
One of the galaxy's staple grains, tallgrain was gorwn almost exclusively on Pakrik Minor. Growing tallgrain was a constant chore, because it was succeptible to white-blight and worms that chew up its interlocked roots. (SOP)

Tallian Wine
This was one of the finest wines available in the Core Worlds, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (TCD)

Tal-lik-Tal
This Cerean worked as Lando Calrissian's chief technician at Tendrando Arms, during the years following the Alliance-Confederation War. When Han and Leia Solo traveled to Lujo on their quest to learn the history of the Millennium Falcon, Lando agreed to show the strange device they had found in the ship to Tal-lik-Tal. Although he could identify the device as some form of transponder or communications device, Tal-lik-Tal could not provide concrete information about it, and he warned the Solos not to re-install the device in the ship. (MF)

Tallis
This Imperial Moff was in charge of Parmel Sector during the Galactic Civil War. It was Moff Tallis who ordered General Maltaz to launch an attack on the Alliance's base on Turak IV, some eighteen months after the Battle of Yavin, hoping to defeat the Parmetl Sector Alliance and regain Imperial control of the sector. Tallis also requested that the Hell's Hammers be assigned to Maltaz's battle group, a decision that ultimately allowed the Empire to claim a measure of victory at the Battle of Turak IV. (ISB, GG9, OWS)

Tallmeadow
This was one of the many clans of the Nosaurian race, which was native to the planet New Plympto. (CCW)

Tallo
This young man, along with his father, Bordon, and younger brother, Wend, were the only members of their family to survive the Battle of Ruusan, some 1,000 years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. Tallo, Wend, and Bordon were rescued by the surviving members of the Army of Light, and were taken aboard the warship Fairwind to protect them from the effects of the thought bomb that was detonated by the Sith. When Bordon volunteered to work on a recovery team with Irtanna, Tallo and Wend went with him, hoping to find survivors on the blasted landscape of their homeworld. When they discovered the young girl named Rain, Tallo scoffed at her desire to travel to Onderon, even though he had never been to the planet himself.

They managed to get Rain aboard the shuttle Star-Wave, and laid in a course to return to the rest of the Jedi fleet. Tallo went to see how Rain was handling spaceflight, and discovered her rummaging around in the shuttle's cargo holds. When he demanded to know what was going on, Rain turned around with a blaster in her hand and shot Tallo dead. She then turned on the rest of the passengers, killing them all in turn. (DBRT)

Tallon, Adar
A naval commander in the Old Republic, he was a masterful battle technician whose maneuvers were used by the Empire, and were still used by the New Republic. He was at his best when he worked with his friend, Jan Dodonna. Dodonna's strategies were often paired with Tallon's starship combat maneuvers to create incredibly effective battle plans. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Tallon held the rank of Admiral, and often spent time speaking with new recruits about the realities of war. When the Empire grew to power, Tallon faked his own death rather than being conscripted into the Imperial Navy. He hid on the planet Tatooine, until a group of Rebels found his hiding place and convinced him to join the Alliance. (RASB, TM, RCHC)

Tallon, Kay
Adar Tallon's faithful wife. (TM)

Tallon Roll
The starfighter combat maneuver was designed by Adar Tallon, to help pilots compensate if they overshot their target. As soon as the pilot of an attacking craft recognized that he or she was closing too quickly on their target, they allowed their fighter to overshoot the target. In employing the Tallon Roll, the attacker first leveled out, then pulled the nose of their ship upward in a tight spiral. The defending fighter then became the ship that overshot its target. The maneuver was considered dangerous, as it could temporarily disorient the attacking pilot, giving the defender a chance to escape or achieve a firing option. (RASB)

Tallon Split
This theoretically simple maneuver was devised by Adar Tallon. Despite its simplicity, it required split-second reactions and uncanny reflexes from two fighter pilots, and was especially dangerous to execute. The two pilots flew close to each other, approaching a capital ship. They needed to be close enough to register on the capital ship's targetting computers as a single target. At very close range, the two fighters split apart. One continued on its strafing run, while the other drew fire from the capital ship's weapons and away from the first ship. The idea was that the ship on the strafing run had about five seconds of clear sailing until the capital ship's targetting computer could detect it as a second target. When executed correctly, this allowed a small fighter to score large damage to the capital ship. The Tallon Split was used with surprising results by Alliance starfighters, during their evacuation from the planet Hoth. (MTS, GG3)

Talloryn
This man was the Imperial Governor of Aldraig IV during the height of the New Order. (TBSB)

Tallus, Xev
This name was attributed to a known Shi'ido individual, but it remained unclear whether or not it was the Shi'ido's given name. (UANT)

Tally Scan
This was a generic term used to describe any portable life-sign scanner. (RCHC)

Talmaron, Xaan
This man was one of the many Alliance supporters who were living on the planet Dantooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Talmog
This was an alcoholic drink made from equal parts of ethanol and Lyme's rose juice. (LCM)

Talmont, Eugene
The Imperial Prefect of Tatooine, stationed in Mos Eisley during the years of the Galactic Civil War, Talmont succeeded Orun Depp during the last years of Jabba the Hutt's life. His career as an Imperial servant was unremarkable, and it moved him from backwater world to backwater world. Talmont was quite full of his own self-importance, and hoped to escape the drudgery of Tatooine by capturing Jabba the Hutt and bringing down his criminal empire. He was appointed to the post by Tour Aryon after Orun Depp was executed by an assassin droid. This fact frightened Talmont to his core, and lived in fear the entire span of years in which he was Prefect. (GG7, TJP, MEAS, SWI65)

Talnar
This Alliance procurement officer was shot down by Imperial forces over Naalol, and was forced to crashland on the backwater world. The forty-five-year-old Talnar was known to his desire to work alone, which his superiors allowed only because of his skills. His ship, the Golden Jewel, was irreparably damaged in the crash, and Lieutenant Talnar was captured by the Oquan and held for ransom by Rel Acoi. A team of Alliance operatives was able to defeat the Oquan and rescue Talnar, before he could be turned over to the Empire. (GMR5, WOA36)

Talo Square
This open plaza was located in the city of Sath, on the planet Samaria, during the early years of the New Order. (LJ6)

Talo-effect Lens
This specialized lens allowed for the visual magnification of a field, providing the user with the ability to see materials at the subatomic level. This lens was the key component of the meson taloscope. (CVD)

Talofan
This planet was the base of operations for Imperial Moff Kintaro, during the height of the New Order. (SESB)

Tal-Oldra, Sarvel
This Corellian was one of the lead designers from Cozzell Corporation, who worked on the original 510 suit of power armor, which was known as the Juggernaut. It was rumored that Tal-Oldra quit his job with Cozzell and took the designs for the Juggernaut to Doc Vandangante. The pair managed to recreate the Juggernaut, making it somewhat less bulky. (GUN)

Talon
This was one of the Imperial Strike-class cruisers that were destroyed by the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Talon
This Imperial Corvette was transporting important documents near Turkana when it was intercepted by a group of Alliance starfighters. Among the pilots who participated in the mission for the Alliance was Keyan Farlander, who saw his first combat duty while attacking the Talon. (XW, XWP)

Talon
This group of ATR-6 Gamma-class transports was part of the Imperial fleet which tried to stop the Alliance from evacuating its base on Kothlis, just before the Battle of Endor. Much of the group was destroyed in the battle, although the Alliance managed to safely abandon the base. (XWA)

Talon
This Imperial Interdictor-class starship patrolled the Demophon System, during the Galactic Civil War. (SN)

Talon
This was the brand name of LaserHone's standard vibrodagger, although it was a weapon popular among Imperial special forces soldiers. (ROE, GUN)

Talon, Darth
This female Twi'lek, distinguished by her crimson skin and the Sith tattoos that covered it, was raised by a family of Dark Side adherents on Korriban, more than 100 years after the Battle of Yavin. A third generation practitioner of the Sith arts, Darth Talon was trained by another Twi'lek, Darth Ruyn. When Ruyn deemed that her training was completed and presented her to Darth Krayt, the Sith Lord demanded that Talon strike down her Master. Knowing little of the galaxy beyond her experiences on Korriban, Darth Talon swiftly cut Ruyn down with her lightsaber, earning her a position as one of Krayt's "hands." Her devotion to the Dark Side of the Force was not restrained by any preconceptions, and Darth Krayt chose her to hunt down Marasiah Fel, the daughter of the renegade Imperial Emperor, Roan Fel. She traced Marasiah to Socorro, but was unable to apprehend her. Darth Talon managed to intercept a transmission from Marasiah's companion, Astraal Vao, that led her to Vendaxa. There, she managed to finally confront the Princess, but she was also forced to deal with Shado Vao and Jedi Master Sazen. The situation only got worse when Cade Skywalker appeared, having transported the Princess to Vendaxa.

Rather than refusing to use his connection to the Force, Cade used his powers to drop a huge section of a ruined starship down on top of Darth Talon's body, crushing her before she could react. As her body lay damaged, Darth Talon called upon the Dark Side of the Force, removing the debris and healing what injuries she could. Then, using the knowledge that the Jedi and the Imperials believed that she was dead, Darth Talon called for backup from Darth Nihl. She then believed that she had finally completed her mission when a pair of Imperial starfighters arrived to rescue the Princess. Darth Talon called the two Imperials out, believing that one of them was actually Roan Fel. However, the interlopers turned out to be Antares Draco and Ganner Krieg, a pair of Imperial Knights who had set out alone to rescue the Princess. Nevertheless, Darth Talon and her fellow Sith Lords attacked, hoping to capture the Princess and any others, knowing that they all had some knowledge of Roan Fel's location. The struggle might have gone the way of the Sith, if Cade Skywalker hadn’t taken up Marasiah's lightsaber and joined the fighting. Skywalker's boldness allowed his crew to get their ship ready, and they fled into hyperspac with the injured Princess.

Darth Talon was forced to return to Coruscant and admit to her failure. Instead of the death she expected, however, Darth Talon found that she was still valuable to her Master, having delivered news of Cade Skywalker's existence. Darth Krayt then ordered her to locate Skywalker and bring him to Coruscant. She didn't have to wait long to complete her mission, as Skywalker himself arrived on Coruscant on a mission to rescue Hosk Trey'lis. She followed Skywalker's presence into the Sith Temple, where she found him after he had set Trey'lis free. She rendered the Bothan unconscious, then faced Skywalker in a lightsaber duel. She was unprepared for the ferocity of Cade's atack, and would have fallen to his lightsaber if Darth Nihl hadn't intervened. With Skywalker in custody, Darth Krayt began to twist him to the ways of the Sith. When Skywalker initially refused, Darth Talon tried to force him into submission. Cade smashed her body against a wall with the Force, badly injuring her.

Darth Krayt then convinced Cade to use his powers to heal her, forcing Cade to draw upon the Dark Side of the Force. Krayt then ordered Darth Talon to develop a relationship with the man, using her feminity as a way to break down his defenses. This seemed to work for a while, until Cade decided that the time had come for him to break free of his Sith masters. When he confronted Darth Krayt, Darth Talon tried to intervene, but Cade ran her through with his lightsaber, all but killing her. Darth Maladi then took her body and transported it to her underground laboratory. There, Darth Maladi kept Darth Talon alive in a specially-designed bacta tank. (SWI88, SWLB, SWLC, SWLL)

Talon, Matt
The son of a farmer on an agricultural world, Talon joined the First Sun Mobile Regiment as a light scout trooper. Talon was a vicious, lethal soldier, and had been scarred a number of times in the line of duty. The right side of his face was slashed, and Talon opted to let a scar form instead of having reconstructive surgery. For an undisclosed reason, Talon deserted the First Sun, taking their combat armor with him. He wears the armor to this day, as a personal calling card. After leaving the First Sun, Talon wandered the Outer Rim as a bounty hunter until he met the Sullustan Thila. She appealed to something inside of him, and Talon agreed to become her bodyguard. (GG9)

Talon I
Ubrikkian's single-pilot, combat cloud car, the Talon I helped fill the void between basic patrol cloud cars and starfighters. They had enhanced armor plating, improved maneuverability, and a well-powered double blaster cannon. The Talon I was avian in shape, with a 10-meter, rounded body, a pointed nosecone, and upward-curving, wing-like airfoils. The Talon I's Servant repulsorlift/ion engine allowed it to travel at speeds up to 1,500 kilometers an hour. The Empire used Talon I cloud cars on several worlds, including Honoghr. Note that the Star Wars Customizable Card game claims the Talon I was capable of speeds up to 1,875 kph. (EGV, CCG9, AEG)

Talon Squad
This nine-man unit of clone troopers was part of the 2nd Platoon of Bacta Company, and was commanded by Sergeant Green during the height of the Clone Wars. (SWI84)

Talon Squadron
Formed by the New Republic shortly after the Battle of Thyferra, Talon Squadron was one of the newer groups created to help offload some duties from Rogue Squadron. Under the command of Myn Donos, the squadron was all but destroyed on its first mission near Gravan Seven, when reconnaissance and intel failed to report that an Imperial ambush was awaiting them. Donos was the only survivor. (WS)

Talon Strike
This was the code phrase used by the crew of the Night Caller, during the assault on Ession, to launch the TIE Fighters which were contained in the debris of the bow of the corvette. Unfortunately for warlord Zsinj and Apwar Trigit, the ship was under the control of the New Republic, and TIEs began pummelling the Implacable. (WS)

Talons
This was one of the Cularin System's most noted swoop gangs, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Unlike other swoop gangs, the Talons were not criminals, and often competed in the Cularin System's swoop race without cheating or causing trouble. However, they were sometimes outmatched, prompting gang leader Seng Windrunner to hire the Twi'lek private investigator, Di'hal'uma, to scout out the competition. During one such investigation, sometime after the Battle of Naboo, Di'hal she discovered the treacherous plans of Mebara Jos and was kidnapped. Seng and his gang feared for her life, but also believed that they were no match for the Blood Raptors and other gangs entered in the first annual Cularin Classic race. (JST3)

Talonscar
This was the nickname adopted by Eryk Krooger, after he was injured in a struggle with a Corellian sand panther. (CCW)

Taloon, Rhya
This woman served as the Senator from the planet Agridorn in the Galactic Senate, during the height of the Clone Wars. Because of her support for the ideals of the old Republic, Senator Taloon found herself targetted by the Enemy Eradication Order of Coruscant, after Chancellor Palpatine named himself Emperor and instituted the New Order. When Agridorn's government agreed to fully support the newly-formed Galactic Empire, a death mark was issued against Senator Taloon, completely cutting her off from her roots on Agridorn. Rather than submitting to Imperial domination, Senator Taloon eliminated all records of her existence and joined the Erased. She adopted the image of a gunslinger in order to hide her true identity, forming her silvery hair into horns that crowned her head and strapping a pair of gunbelts across her chest. Like many of her fellow Erased, Rhya wanted to locate Solace and find peace, so she was more than willing to accompany Ferus Olin and Trever Flume on their search. After locating the Solace and identifying her as the former Jedi Fy-Tor-Ana, Ferus and Trever set out to return to the surface and prevent Inquisitor Malorum from locating them. Rhya and the other members of the Erased remained behind in the underground settlement, but found themselves under attack by the agents sent by Malorum. Rhya was later found among the dead who perished in the attack. (LJ3, LJ4)

Taloos
This group of container transports was passing through the Javin Sector of the galaxy, during the hours that followed the Empire's victory at the Battle of Hoth. The transports were forced to stop near space station D-34 by Imperial forces that were trying to intercept any Alliance personnel who escaped from Hoth. (TIE, TIEP)

Taloraan
Located in the Expansion Region, this gas giant was the largest planet in the Kelavine System, with a recorded diamter of about 100,000 kilometers. Taloraan spun very rapidly, rotating once every twelve standard hours. The local year lasted 219 local days. Taloraan was orbited by seven moons and a magnificent ring system, but it also had an intense magnetic field and suffered from atmospheric ionization. Thus, it had never been fully surveyed. The little exploration that had been done on Taloraan had indicated that, at certain levels within the clouds, habitation could be possible. In actuality, the planet harbored an abundance of life, including the fleft-wauf and sleft-chuffni. Many generations before the onset of the Clone Wars, a group of human catsaways found that the planet's clouds hid a habitable zone, and they established outposts in Taloraan's upper atmosphere. These early settlers were able to survive by living inside the colossal island beasts that roamed the clouds. Over time, the descendants of these settlers split into two factions, the primitive Wind Raiders and the more modern Denfrandi. It was the Denfrandi who welcomed the outsiders who had learn that Taloraan's atmopshere contained large amounts of Tibanna gas, which was actually breathable at higher altitudes. The divide between the two factions was closed during the Clone Wars, when the two groups united to repel a Separatist invasion. (SWJ5, RSG, CWWRT)

Taloraan City
This huge, floating city was established by the Denfrandi in the habitable zone of Taloraan's upper atmosphere. The city also served as the planetary capital. (CWWRT)

Taloron
This was a race of humans. (SWJ11)

Taloron Hunters
This brotherhood of highly-skilled warriors and mercenaries sprang up at the end of the Old Republic. Where they came from and how they were formed remains a mystery. The Taloron Hunters all wore specialized armor that was easily recognizable. (DOE)

Taloron Prey Chaser
This specialized warship was developed by, and for the exclusive use of, the Taloron Hunters. The Prey Chaser measured 40 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of laser cannons. It was simple to operate, requiring just a pilot to manage all systems. However, the ship had room for up to 25 passengers and 30 metric tons of cargo, making it the perfect ship for getting a group of warriors into battle. Heavily shielded and armored, the Prey Chaser was outfitted with the fastest hyperdrives available. (DOE)

Talos
This spaceport city, found on the planet Atzerri, was a fairly reputable metropolis, despite the existence of the Traders Plaza. (SOL)

Talos City
see Talos (DN3)

Talos Port Medicomplex
This was the name of the large hospital, located in the city of Talos, on the planet Atzerri. (HNN5)

Talosh, Tik Tali
This young man, a native of the planet Derf, was the president of his planet's Max Rebo Fan Club. One of his dearest wishes came true shortly before the Battle of Endor, when he was invited to play with the Max Rebo Twelve on Tatooine. He played several of the band's gigs at the palace of Jabba the Hutt, and then set out to write an exposee on the band's activities. Entitled Blue Man's Group, the book did not sit well with Max Rebo and many of the bandmembers. Max broke off all relations with Tik, but Tik kept fond memories of his days with the band. (SWI67)

Talper
This Bothan often worked with his sister, Jural, reporting on the state of galactic exploration, during the height of the New Order and the Galactic Civil War. Talper was with Jural on Mustafar when Doctor Namdaot declared himself to be the Storm King. When Talper refused to kneel before him, Namdaot called him an unbeliever and forced him to submit. Talper writhed in pain for several seconds before the so-called Storm King released him, and his health began to fail rapidly. (SWGAL)

Talpron
A Captain in the Corellian Defense Forces' Space Defense Service, Talpron was the leader of Squadron Two, which "rescued" Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon when it arrived at Corellia for the Trade Summit. (AC)

Talravin
This planet was located near the Core Worlds. (SWDB, KOTOR)

Talsa
This Alliance Major was in command of the starfighter squadron deployed at Advanced Base Baskarn, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. She was driven by her need to avenge a past event in which the Empire caused her a great injustice. (SWJ2)

Talshib
This was the core name used by the Chiss male known as Brast'alshi'barku. When Aristocra Formbi led the mission to locate the Outbound Flight Project in the Redoubt, Captain Talshib went along as the deck officer aboard the Chaf Envoy. He remained onboard the ship when Formbi and his motley team disembarked to enter Outbound Flight, and witnessed the landing of the Vagaari forces. He and his troops remained hidden until the Vagaari left the area, then entered the Outbound Flight to rescue Formbi and the others. Talshib's troops were able to seal off the pylons between Dreadnaughts, which were damaged when the Vagaari stole the D-Four Dreadnaught. This saved the lives of those beings still on Outbound Flight, sealing in their limited air supply. Despite being able to locate Formbi and Drask, Talshib was disgruntled by the fact that Dean Jinzler showed the Chiss how to get rid of the line creepers that had been planted in Outbound Flight by the Vagaari. (SQ)

Talsor
This was one of six Imperial bulk freighters assigned to the replenishment fleet which contained the Black Ice. (BI)

Talstin, Lavek
This Devaronian male was engaged to be married to Shelta Sune, a marriage arranged for him by his mother and sisters. Lavek, however, wanted nothing to do with marriage, and fled Devaron. He later earned enough credits to purchase the Wanderer, and managed to evade the Devaronian search parties that hunted for him. He was nearly captured when an uncle of Shelta Sune met him in a warehouse, and Lavek barely escaped. He joined the Alliance, feeling that he could hide from his fiance better within their ranks. He used the Wanderer to run supplies from Cuirilla to Alliance bases. Lavek preferred the company of Duros, and even tried to shave his horns down to look more like them. One horn was damaged, and grew back in with a twist. (CRO)

Tal-toori
This was a pastry that was created by bakers on the planet Kesh. (FJI)

Talu
This planet was one of many that were controlled by Imperial Warlord Zsinj, during the early years of the New Republic. It was eventually retaken by Han Solo and his task force. (DN1)

Talus
This young man served with Binalu as the leaders of the planet Typha-Dor, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (JQ7)

Talus
Talus, along with Tralus, make up the Twins in the Corellian System. Talus and Tralus orbit each other around a single center of mass, and both were inhabited. At the center of their orbit was Centerpoint Station. (AC, CTD)

Talus and Tralus Slider
This was one of the many varieties of slider sandwiches that were served at Dex's Diner, during the final years of the Old Republic. Unlike most of the other slider recipes developed by Dexter Jettster, the Talus and Tralus Slider was plain by comparison, consisting of two basic sliders served on the same plate. (OWS)

Talus Aqualish
This band of Aqualish was secretly established on the planet Talus, many centuries before the Battle of Yavin, in the wake of the Aqualish-Corellian War. The Talus Aqualish were formed in order to anticipate the war being restarted between humans and Aqualish. These Aqualish remained hidden, cutting themselves off from the rest of civilization, in order to prepare for the next war. Thus, they were virtually unaware of the events surrounding the Clone Wars, the establishment of the Galactic Empire, or the Galactic Civil War, until the rebellion reached the Corellian System. This earned their descendants the new moniker of the Lost Aqualish. (SWGAL)

Talus Secta
This area of space was once a prominent hyperspace exit point for starships that were traveling to the planet Talus and other worlds in the Corellian System. However, during the height of the Galactic Civil War, the Imperial forces in the system began setting ambushed in the Talus Secta area, hoping to capture any Alliance sympathizers entering or leaving the system. (SWGAL)

Talusian
This was the term used to describe any being who was native to the planet Talus, regardless of race or species. (SWI83)

Talusian Mussel
This unique shellfish, native to the planet Talus, was harvested and processed to create a medically-safe adhesive that was used in the creation of a glue stat. (MBS)

Talvarian
An alien race known for its lack of honor and integrity. (SL)

Taly
This man was one of the many refugees rescued from Cloud City by a team of Alliance agents, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (GMR3)

Talyc
This Mandalorian word meant "bloody" or "bloodstained" when translated into Basic. It could also mean "rare," in describing a cooked piece of meat. (OWS)

Tal'yo, Nescan
This lupine being was a known thief, active during the height of the New Order. Protected by his android bodyguard, Hermos, Tal'yo stole a holocube conyaining the locations of several Alliance bases from a courier on Fairwell Station, some time after the Battle of Yavin. He was tracked to Elerion by Leia Organa, who learned from Orma Hundeen that Tal'yo planned to sell the holocube to Commander Shad and the Empire. When Leia first met him on Elerion, Tal'yo claimed to be an import expert. However, Tal'yo was no match for Leia's skills with a blaster, and she quickly trapped him and demanded the holocube. Tal'yo, however, had left the holocube with his partner, Gogol. Leia knocked Tal'yo unconscious for his efforts and left him tied up in a hotel room. (T15)

Talz
This was another name for the Talzzi language. (UANT)

Talz
The Talz were a race of white-furred, four-eyed humanoids from the planet Alzoc III, although a small settlement of Talz was discovered on the planet Orto Plutonia during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Their dense fur covered a layer of blubber, providing the Talz with protection from the harsh cold of their homeworld. The average Talz stood just over two meters in height, had three opposable fingers on each hand, and had four eyes clustered around a tube-like snout. This snout provided the Talz with a way to extract more oxygen from Alzoc III's frigid air. The eyes of the Talz were adapted to specific purposes. The larger pair of eyes was used for night vision, and remained closed during the day. The smaller pair of eyes allowed the Talz to see in the glare of the sun shining off the snow, but were ineffective in the dark. Although mammalian in appearnance, the Talz reproduced by laying eggs, much like insects. This allowed the parents to keep their offsprings' cocoons warm in Alzoc III's cold environment. Larval Talz lacked any sort of understanding of their environment, and were home-schooled in order to teach them how to exist in their society.

As a race, the Talz from Alzoc III were calm and good-natured. As a people, they lacked any sense of possession, believing that things were to be used by whomever needed them. Anything that a Talz had in their possession that was not used was given away to another being who needed it, while a Talz who needed something would simply borrow it from another individual. To other races, this was little more than a form of thievery, and the Talz were unnecessarily labeled as criminals on many worlds. In contrast, the Talz that lived on Orto Plutonia had a violent streak, and viciously defended their settlement from any invaders. During the Clone Wars, these Talz resisted attempts by both the Separatists and the Grand Army of the Republic to establish bases on the planet, attacking and killing droids and clone troopers alike. Because few beings knew of the Talz settlement on the planet, they were known simply as ice men.

The Talz were also known as tireless workers, a trait that led the Talz to be enslaved by the Empire and used in the mines on Alzoc III. Before the era of the New Order, only a single Talz individual had ever been encountered in the galactic community: the Jedi known as Foul Moudama. Because no other race had ever set foot on Alzoc III before Imperial forces discovered the planet, no record was ever logged of the planet's existence, thereby ensuring the Empire of an undisturbed source of labor.

A Skakoan from the Crimlin clan, Wat Tambor spent only a few years on his homeworld of Skako before traveling to Metalorn to pursue an interest in technology and industrialization. This travel required him to develop a full-body environment suit, in order to maintain an atmosphere similar to that on Skako. This metal suit covered all but the crown of his head. He was an excellent combat engineer, and later served as a chief executive of the Baktoid Armor Workshop before becoming one of the leaders of the Techno Union. In the wake of the Battle of Naboo, Wat Tambor was given the title of Emir, and was promoted to the position of Foreman of the Techno Union, overseeing the operations of such noted manufacturers as the Baktoid Armor Workshop and Haor Chall Engineering, and managing development labs for Republic Sienar Systems and Kuat Systems Engineering.

Wat Tambor was part of the delegation which traveled to Geonosis to join Count Dooku and the Separatists, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. As the war ground on, Wat Tambor became increasingly reclusive, and holed up in the Mazariyan fortress on Xagobah to avoid much of the war. He used his own expertise, along with that of other Separatists, to genetically alter several of Xagobah's plants and fungus, twisting them to become killing things that helped to protect the fortress. It was here, as the Clone Wars came to an end, that young Boba Fett found Tambor. Unfortunately for Fett, Tambor was being protected by General Grievous, who took Tambor under his protection and fled the fortress. After hiding on Utapau under the protection of General Grievous, the Separatist leaders were taken to Mustafar. It was there, after Darth Sidious finally lured Anakin Skywalker to the Darth Side of the Force, that the Separatist leaders met their deaths. Skywalker was dispatched to Mustafar by Sidious himself, with orders to eliminate them.

Tan, Suvam
This ancient Rodian was an ancestor of Suz Tanwa. It was Suvam Tan who stored five priceless artifacts in the Yavin System some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, then encoded their locations in a wondrous crystal. Suvam Tan had come to the Yavin System to explore, and was enslaved when Exar Kun took control of the Massassi on Yavin 4. During this time, he had access to the great temples, and he had enough of his own mind about him to remember where the best treasure was. After escaping from Kun, Suvam Tan was named the administrator the ancient Yavin Station. From a base on the station, Suvam Tan made a name for himself as a craftsbeing. Not only could he fix anything, but Suvam Tan could find almost anything. When Yavin Station began to fail, Suvam Tan took his most valuable possessions and hid them in shielded cargo pods. Their locations were placed in the crystal, and Suvam Tan had the crystal shipped back to his only child on Rodia. The secret of the crystal was lost for many generations, until Suz Tanwa figured it out. Suvam Tan hid the first trove in the atmosphere of Yavin itself, a shielded cargo pod that contained five huge corusca gems. The second artifact, an ancient holoprojector with what appeared to be a pyramidal holocron, was jettisoned to the ground on Yavin 13. Suvam Tan believed that no sentient life existed on Yavin 13, but the cargo pod was discovered and maintained by a group of Gerbs. The third pod, which had become embedded in a mountain on Yavin 8, contained a set of blaster weapons from the time. The fourth pod was found on Yavin 4, and the crystal claimed it contained the battle armor of Exar Kun, the Dark Lord of the Sith who once controlled the moon. How Suvam Tan came to possess it was never discovered. The last artifact was never placed in a cargo pod, but was in Suvam Tan's back pocket when Yavin Station exploded. Suvam Tan died in the explosion, and his preserved body was discovered by Suz Tanwa, also on Yavin 22. In his back pocket, Suz Tanwa found the lightsaber he had built by himself during his stay on Yavin Station. (PH)

Tan Pel'trokal
This was the term used by the Korunnai to describe their particular form of punishment, known as "jungle justice", carried out against those Balawai who offended or otherwise harmed the Korunnai. As was customary, Balawai who were subjected to the tan pel'trokal were blindfolded and taken deep into the jungle. There, they were stripped of all their possessions, including clothing and supplies, and left to survive on their own. In this way, the Korunnai removed the fallability of the human being from the judgement of another being, leaving the jungle itself to decide one's fate. Very few Balawai ever returned alive. Because the Balawai controlled the daylight hours with their gunship patrols, the Korunnai chose to set loose their prisoners at night. (SHPT)

The last two racers standing at the end of the race moved on to the next round, where loyalties could change at any moment. (KOR13)

Tandgor Gem
This valuable gemstone was distinguished by the way it seemed to glow with a pulsating, orange light. Each elongated tandgor gem had eight sides. An urban legend surfced duringthe early years of the New Republic, telling the tale that Han Solo and Chewbacca once used a cargo of tandgor gems - which would have paid off his debt to Jabba the Hutt - to save an alien race from nightly visits by the angry spirits of their ancestors. The ancestors had tried to leave their planet to explore the galaxy, but their ship experienced problems and had to turn around. Those who remained behind weren't ready for such a swift return, and the ship lost its way in an evening fogbank, crashing with a mighty impact and killing all aboard. Each night from that point forward, the ghosts of the explorers returned in their gohstly starship to torment the living.

After obtaining permission from their parents to take the girls back to Coruscant for training, Tan-Doov set off in his starship, unaware that a thermal detonator had been hidden on the bridge. Tan-Doov was killed almost instantly, although not before sending a report to the Jedi Temple, and the girls were forced to find the ship's escape pods and return to Romin. (WOTC)

Tandre, Michael
This geologist and Jedi Knight was forced to crash-land his ship, the Alpha Kentrum, on the planet Orellon II.

Tandun Three
This planet was the unlikely destination of the Millennium Falcon, when the ship suddenly leaped into hyperspace, some forty-three years after the Battle of Yavin. Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, had started to investigate the ship's history after their granddaughter, Allana, discovered a strange device in one of the bulkheads. The device was waiting for a signal, which had originally been programmed during the era of the Clone Wars. Tobb Jadak, who had flown the ship when it was named the Stellar Envoy, remembered the code phrase he had been given, and this turned out to the signal that the device was waiting for. The device then commanded the Millennium Falcon to make an immediate jump into hyperspace, on a flight path to Tandun Three. Data discovered by the Solos' droid, C-3PO, revealed that Tandun Three had originally been surveyed by Doctor Beramsh some 12,250 years earlier, who reported that the planet was a geologically young world in a relatively young star system. The planet's lush environments were more than capable of sustaining human and humanoid life. Ruins discovered on the planet by Doctor Beramsh led him to believed that the planet had once been inhabited by the Rakata. However, its distance from the Hydian Way kept Tandun Three from ever being settled in the millennia that followed. A second survey was dispatched to the planet during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, but no records were kept from this survey. When they arrived at Tandun Three, the Solos discovered a world where the southern hemisphere was covered with abundant forests, but the lands in the north were still undergoing huge tectonic and volcanic changes. The atmosphere was largely breathable, but contained high concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane, and sulfur. After taking a closer look at the forests on the southern hemisphere, the Solos suddenly realized that they were made up of tampasi, and that Tandun Three had been terraformed by the Yuuzhan Vong. The Solo family then discovered that their ship, the Millennium Falcon, was the key to opening one of the ruins, inside of which was the Insignia of Unity, long believed to have been stolen from the Senate Rotunda on Coruscant before the onset of the Clone Wars. The emblem they found was a fake, however, a fact that was unknown to the Republic Group when they themselves stole. As they realized this, the volcanic activity of the northern hemisphere reached a violent level, forcing the Solos to blast away before the ruins collapsed on top of them. In mute horror, they watched from space as Tandun Three tore itself apart, its inner core cracking open and exploding. (MF)

He took his family and fled to his wife's homeworld of Corellia, where he thought he might be safe. Corellia, at the time, was striving to remain neutral in the growing conflict between the Old Republic and the Separatists. However, the Techno Union discovered his defection and sent a group of mercenaries to recover the prototype at all costs. The Jedi Knights were called in to rescue Ratri before the mercenaries, led by Tendir Blue, managed to capture Tane. However, by the time they arrived, Tane had already been captured by Blue. Unknown to Blue, however, "Tane" was actually Nejaa Halcyon in disguise. The real Tane had already been whisked away to a safehouse to ensure the survival of he and his family. When the Jedi refused to cooperate, Blue shot "Tane" with his blaster and escaped, believing that he had killed the real Tane and recovered the prototypes he had been carrying. The ruse was necessary, because the Old Republic wanted the Techno Union to believe that the threat to the Separatists posed by Tane's defection had been eliminated. (SWI66)

Tanea
The Astrolabe's senior survey officer, Tanea was killed near Doornik-1142. (BTS)

Taneel, Terr
This red-haired woman was a Senator to the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars, representing her homeworld of Neelanon and the Senex Sector. She often wore flowing gowns and a pair of fashionable translation devices on her ears, giving her the appearance of a well-dressed cyborg. Senator Taneel was part of a small group that supported Bail Organa's pettion to ensure Chancellor Palpatine relinquished the unprecedented control he had been given during the Clone Wars. She was also good friends with Senator Chi Eekway, but feared that her friend was too naive to join the Delegation of the Two Thousand. (OWS, LEV, VD3, SWDB, CHRN2)

Tangak
This carnivorous predator was native to the planet Coyn, and was considered the worst enemy of the Coynite society. They were shaggy, bipedal beasts which were cunning and dangerous, although they lacked true intelligence. They were surprisingly agile for their size,and their fur coloration allowed them to blend into their surroundings. Although the tangaks preferred to prey on tris, there have been documented accounts of tangaks preying on young Coynites who dropped their guard. (PG3)

Tangar
This planet was located in a sector of the galaxy that was adjacent to Dantus Sector. (CWNOP)

Tangerette
This was a small, tasty fruit that was grown for its juice. (BF4)

Tangle Bomb
This device was similar to a web bomb, but used durable fibers instead of chemicals to create its netting. When activated, the tangle bomb expelled its contents of netting, trapping a target beneath and preventing their escape. (SWGAL)

Tangle Gun 7
This was a form of anti-riot weapon produced by Merr-Sonn during the early years of Palpatine's rule as Emperor. These weapons were considered more humane than blasters, although they often proved deadly to the target. The tangle gun fired a large, semi-flexible webbing which was created from naorstrachem mixed with a shrinking agent. The web began to contract as soon as it came into contact with a warm surface, such as a living body. The webbing then wrapped around the target and tightened, trapping the target almost instantly. The problem with most tangle guns - and the Tangle Gun 7 was no exception - was that the webbing often contracted too much, despite efforts to modify the mixture. The target was often suffocated by the intense contraction of the webbing. (CFG, SWG2P)

Tangle Pistol
This was the generic term used to describe any handheld weapon that fired a constricting net at a target. (SWG2P)

Tanglefoot Field
This police device which produces a low-intensity force field in a specific location. They were used to slow the movement of rioters. (GCQ)

Tangler Elite 1
This was a model of tangle gun produced for bounty hunters and law enforcement agencies by Salus Corporation. (HR)

Tanglewoods, The
This densely-forested area of the planet Bellassa was located just south of the capital city of Ussa. Renowned on Bellassa, the trees of the Tanglewoods grew from a massive system of intertwined roots. The trees grew so close together that very little light reached the forest floor, and the branches of the trees twisted around each other to create strange and fantastic shapes.

In the wake of the Clone Wars, the Bellassan rebels who opposed the Imperial occupation of their planet created a number of holographic replacements for certain trees in the forest. The real trees were then cut down, although the extraction was hidden due to the holographic duplicates. By clearing this path through the forest, and then disguising it with the fake trees, the rebels ensured that they could fly into and out of Ussa without being noticed by Imperial sensors. (LJ7)

Tango
This Alliance assault transport was assigned to the Mon Calamari cruiser Liberty, shortly before the Battle of Endor. It was used in several missions to liberate slaves from Imperial facilities. (XWA)

This clone trooper unit was assigned to Jedi Master Luminara Unduli and her Padawan, Barriss Offee, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Tango Company was one of the primary clone units during the mission to capture Poggle the Lesser on Geonosis, about a year after the onset of the Clone Wars, and was decimated when a clutch of brain worms infected several troopers who were off-duty. (CWTV30)

Tangor Square
This was one of the most popular entertainment districts in the Zi-Kree Sector of Galactic City, on the planet Coruscant, during the early years of the New Order. (CN1)

Tangrene
This planet was the site of an Imperial Intelligence Ubiqtorate center that was destroyed by Garm Bel Iblis and his freelance militia during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was being rebuilt at the time Grand Admiral Thrawn re-appeared some five years after the Battle of Endor, and had a Crystal Gravfield Trap operating at the new base. Tangrene was a mountainous world of craggy peaks and deep canyons, and was virtually barren of vegetation and surface water. A race of sentients once lived on the planet, but the Empire enslaved them during the construction of its garrison there. The Moff in charge of the sector decided that the natives would be more of a liability than an asset, and exterminated them before they could pose any threat. The average day on Tangrene lasted 29 standard hours, and its year encompasses 356 local days. (DFR, TLC, TTSB)

Tangrill, Betha
This early representative of the Smugglers' Alliance leadership council worked with Mara Jade during the conversion of the Spice Mines of Kessel. They turned the prison-labor operation into a legitimate spice-producing company. (JASB)

Tank
A native of the planet Tatooine, this young man was one of Luke Skywalker's boyhood friends. Some time before the Battle of Yavin, Tank - whose real name was Janek Sunber - left Tatooine with Biggs Darklighter to attend the Imperial Academy. After learning that Luke Skywalker had joined the Alliance and was responsible for the destruction of the first Death Star, Tank found himself unable to reconcile his former friendship. He went so far as to blame Luke for the death of Biggs at Yavin, combining all his anger and directing at Luke. (E4, SWRMB)

Tank Droid
A combat droid programmed with artificial intelligence, tank droids have been used by many different factions throughout galactic history. The first full-scale use of these droids was by the Corporate Alliance of the Old Republic, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The Corporate Alliance actually employed a wide variety of combat droids to protect their interests. The Corporate Alliance's NR-N99 tank droids were large, circular automatons with a huge central wheel supported by four small outrigger wheels. This droid could roll into and out of battle with ease, and was equipped with a variety of weapons systems mounted on arms. Years later, the Empire used other forms of tank droids to protect the cloning facilities on Byss, following the Battle of Endor. (DE1, VD2, VD3)

Tanless, Nirbella
This was the name of a noted member of Nimbanese society. (UANT)

Tann
This was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and meant "hope" in the Twi'leki language. (GCG)

Tann, Sev'Rance
This female Chiss was born on the planet Csilla, and was one of the few members of her race to exhibit a sensitivity to the Force. Although she was a skilled tactician, many attributed her remarkable abilities on the battlefield to her connection to the Force, although she preferred to demonstrate her skills without resorting to any mystical powers. She was known for her demanding attitude and almost casual brutality.

During her early military training, a professor challenged her to make a competent battle force from a group of untrainable Yresilini. She chose one individual to serve as her "General", teaching only the most basic commands. When the "General" and the other Yresilini laughed at her methods, she killed the "General" and chose a second. From that point forward, the Yresilini obeyed her every command.

During the last years of the Old Republic, she came under the scrutiny of Count Dooku, after she and her lover Vandalor had been discovered by Darth Sidious. She was trained in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force, and became one of the leaders in the military of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. She participated in the Battle of Geonosis before being given command of a group of Decimator tanks on Sarapin, where she managed to defeat the forces of the Old Republic.

Sev'ranace Tann was then sent to Krant, where she was captured by Echuu Shen-Jon. She made the fatal mistake of underestimating his fury, for his own Padawan, Stam Reath, had been killed by Tann on Geonosis. Shen-Jon took revenge for Reath's death, and executed Tann without remorse. (GBC, NECH, NEGA)

Tanna
This stormtrooper Captain was assigned to Darth Vader's search for Jax Pavan, during the early months of the New Order. When Vader discovered that Jax was in the Factory District of Coruscant, Captain Tanna was ordered to ensure that Jax was captured when he emerged. To his surprise, Captain Tanna was approached Prince Xizor instead of Jax Pavan. Vader ordered his men to let Xizor go free, and focus on capturing Pavan. Their focus was somewhat distracted by the rising levels of radiation in the area, caused by a reactor leak somewhere beneath them. Tanna and his men were forced to remain vigilant, since Vader demanded the capture of Pavan above all other priorities. (CN1)

Tannan
This man, a native of Alderaan, was one of Conn Doruggan's early schoolmates, and a member of his wegsphere team. (TBSB)

An aged sister of the Singing Mountain clan on Dathomir, Tannath served as the Clan Protector under Augwynne. This position made her the second-strongest woman in the clan, behind Augwynne. Note that Cracken's Threat Dossier names her Tannith. (CPL, CTD)

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

Tanner
This man was one of the few survivors of the Star Destroyer crew that was infected with the strange contagion that was developed as part of the Blackwing operation, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Tanner and Commander Gorrister rounded up a small group of crewmen who were immune to the contagion, and they managed to hide within the fuselage of a Sentinal-class shuttle while the rest of the crew was killed by the contagion and then re-animated. In order to survive, Gorrister and the others drew lots to see who would be cannibalized to ensure the continued survival of the others. They had been inside the shuttle fo ten weeks when they were discovered by Captain Jareth Sartoris of the prisone barge Purge. Sartoris refused to become their next meal, and killed Gorrister and threw several others to the re-animated corpses, hoping to use the distraction to break from the shuttle and deactivate the Star Destroyer's tractor beam. Tanner was still in the shuttle when Sartoris left, and managed to hang on long enough for another group of survivors - including Trig Longo, Han Solo, and Chewbacca - to locate them. Unfortunately, before the group was able to make its way to safety, a group of re-animated corpses attacked and killed Tanner, ripping his body to pieces in order to feed. (SWDT)

On Carida, Tanniel oversaw the development of the Imperial Storm Commandos, and placed fellow Raithal graduate Crix Madine in command of training and deployment of the first Storm Commando unit. (SWJ4, OWS)

Tannis
This ancient Jedi Master was a member of the Omwati species, and was the leader of Teyan Praxeum. Mistress Tannis felt that any being who showed Force sensitivity had an obligation to be trained in the Jedi arts, thereby helping the Old Republic continue to be vibrant and growing. She was best-known as the teacher of Vici Ramunee. (SWJ11)

Tannis
This man was a member of the BloodScar Pirates, during the height of the New Order. Tannis was part of the small group of pirates that discovered Mara Jade had infilrated one of their transports, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. In the brief firefight, Mara killed Captain Shakko and several other pirates before wounding Tannis and taking control of the ship. Tannis later revealed that the pirates had been planning to ambush the Happer's Way and steal its cargo of AT-STs, and that the entire operation had been planned by Caaldra and an unnamed patron.

Realizing that Mara was an ally, Tannis agreed to help her infiltrate the BloodScar base on Gepparin, despite the threat to his own life. Mara, along with the ISB agents Brock and Gilling, posed as shipjackers who were planning to join the BloodScars. After introducing them to the Commodore, Caaldra revealed that Mara and her men were Imperials. Tannis tried to argue for keeping them alive, since they were valuable sources of information. The Commodore refused, and threatened to have Tannis killed for bringing them to Gepparin. Mara refused to allow Tannis to fall prey to the pirates, especially after he recovered her lightsaber, and used her abilities with the Force to help them escape.

However, the Commodore managed to lay a few traps for them, preventing an esay escape from Gepparin. One trap involved the use of an incediary device that flooded an access tunnel with flames. Tannis was badly burned in the explosion, but Mara managed to get them both out of the base. Before she could reach an Imperial outpost, Mara discovered that Tannis had died from his wounds. As he had requested, Mara set his body adrift in space. (A)

Tannoy
A loudspeaker system. (COJ)

Tano
This Alliance MC80a cruiser was destroyed during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Tano, Ahsoka
This young, female Togruta was believed to have been Anakin Skywalker's first apprentice. Ahsoka was discovered on Shili by Jedi Master Plo Koon when she was just three years old, and was transported to Coruscant for training. Like many younglings of the time, Ahsoka was elevated to the rank of Padawan quite early, in the hopes that there would be enough Jedi Knights available to assist the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Because her species lacked hair, Ahsoka used a string of silka beads as her Padawan braid. Unlike most of her contemporaries, Ahsoka was one of only a few Padawans who were not chosen by their teachers. Instead, she was dispatched to the planet Christophsis and ordered to report to Anakin Skywalker. She initially wondered why the Jedi Council had chosen her to become the Padawan learner of The Chosen One, believing that Yoda might have made a mistake. Ahsoka often found herself wondering if she was the Padawan who got Anakin killed because of her recklessness. However, she agreed to make the journey and introduce herself to her new Master. Ahsoka was also given a second message, this one for Obi-Wan Kenobi, detailing Jabba the Hutt's request for Jedi assistance in rescuing his kidnapped offspring, Rotta.

Both Kenobi and Skywalker believed that Ahsoka had been sent to Christophsis to become Obi-Wan's new student, so Skywalker was more than confused when Ahsoka revealed that she was now his Padawan. Skywalker gruffly argued that he didn't have time for a Padawan, and that a youngling would only slow him down. However, this was exactly what the Jedi Council wanted. Chosing Ahsoka as Skywalker's Padawan was a move that Master Yoda hoped would teach Anakin about dealing with attachments. The Council believed that Anakin had not fully let go of his attachment to his mother, and believed that he might learn about letting go when Ahsoka was eventually trained enough to take the Trials and become an independent Jedi Knight.

While Skywalker fumed, Ahsoka was taken aside by clone Commander Rex, who explained the situation to her and gave her valuable advice about dealing with Skywalker. Rather than demanding attention, Rex explained, she needed to prove herself to her new teacher. Ahsoka tried to temper her exuberance, and Skywalker eventually accepted her, after she agreed to carry Rotta the Huttlet out of a Separatist base. Their escape was blocked by Asajj Ventress, who decimated the clone troopers in an attempt to get to Skywalker. When Anakin refused to sacrifice Rex and the other survivors to keep Rotta alive, Ahsoka quickly questioned the military logic in his thinking. Although she believed the mission was tantamount to the clones' survival, Ahsoka could not bring herself to leave Rex and the others behind.

During their escape from Teth, Ahsoka was forced to engage Ventress in lightsaber combat, allowing Anakin time to capture a mega-insect that they could ride to safety. After escaping from Teth with Rotta in their care, Ahsoka and Anakin were dispatched to join Admiral Wullf Yularen and the flagship Resolute on a series of missions to track down General Grievous. Ahsoka kept a close watch on her Master's actions, serving alternately as his supporter and a voice of reason. Her youthful exuberance was often tempered by the realities of the war, but she never seemed to lose her trust in the general good of the galaxy. This trait nearly caused the Republic a lot of trouble when R2-D2 was lost near Bothawui, and Anakin was forced to accept the droid R3-S6 as a replacement. Ahsoka befriended the odd little astromech, giving it the nickname Goldie and doing her best to put a positive spin on its inability to follow orders.

Ahsoka realized R3-S6 was working for the Separatists during the mission to disable Skytop Station. On the remote outpost, Ahsoka was forced to battle General Grievous himself in order to ensure the safety of her clones, who were planting explosives throughout the station. After recovering R2-D2 from Skytop Station, Anakin ordered Ahsoka to travel to Rodia and assist Luminara Unduli in transporting Nute Gunray to Coruscant for trial. Although she resented being sent on a simple errand instead of remaining on the front lines, but she obeyed Anakin's orders. Working with Master Unduli, Ahsoka pretended to lose patience during Gunray's interrogation, and her threat to use her lightsaber against him got him ready to talk. However, the betrayal of Captain Argyus gave Gunray a reason to keep his mouth shut, and the Jedi were forced to do everything they could to keep Gunray in custody. Ultimately, Asajj Ventress was able to ensure Gunray's escape, and the Jedi were forced to regroup.

Ahsoka continued to learn and train at Anakin's side as the fighting escalated, although she was nearly killed on the planet Naboo. The evil scientist, Doctor Nuvo Vindi, had recreated the Blue Shadow Virus for the Separatists, and a small amount of the virus was released into the air system of his laboratory. Ahsoka and the clone troopers serving Captain Rex were all infected, prompting a desparate search for an antidote. Anakin and Obi-Wan were able to recover a specimen of reeksa root from the planet Iego, which was used to create an extract that destroyed the virus and saved the lives of those who were infected. As the Clone Wars ground on, Ahsoka gained more and more experience in battle, but she often failed to clearly see the entire scope of a given battle. This came to a head on Felucia, where Ahsoka led a brazen march toward a Separatist encampment, unaware that she was falling into a trap. Master Skywalker was forced to land a gunship in her path in order to stop her, and as they lifted off, Ahsoka was able to look down and see the trap that had been laid for her. She and Anakin returned to Coruscant, where the Jedi Council took Ahsoka out of the fighting and assigned her to guard duty at the Jedi Archives.

Tanogo
This Bith served as a chief petty officer in the Galactic Alliance military, during the years following the Swarm War. A veteran of more than twenty years of military service, Tanogo was a skilled sensor operator. He served aboard the Rover when Ben Skywalker was dispatched to investigate the bombing of the Villa Solis estate on Terephon, during an assassination attempt on the life of the Hapan Queen Mother, Tenel Ka. At Terephon, the crew recovered Jaina Solo and Zekk, who had been on the planet doing their own investigation, when the Ducha Galney ordered them killed. The Ducha went so far as to destroy her family's estate in an failed effort to eliminate the two Jedi.

With the news of Ducha Galney's treachery, the Rover sped back to Hapes, only to find itself in the midst of a battle between the Hapan Royal Navy and the Heritage Fleet. The crew understood the necessity to warn the Queen Mother of her enemies, but realized that any such transmission would be picked up by the Heritage Fleet, which would try to eliminate the source. Tanogo and Lieutenant Beta Ioli agreed to remain on the ship and transmit the message, after ensuring that Ben and the rest of the crew evacuated first.

Although the message was successfully transmitted, the ships of the Heritage Fleet quickly identified the Rover as an enemy and opened fire. Tanogo and Ioli died in the resulting explosion, (LF3)

Tanque Tea
This was a steeped beverage that originated on Corellia. (MBS)

Tanquilla Beach
This space station shadowport was located near Shintel and Pembric II, in the Kathol Sector of the galaxy. For those smugglers who worked in the Kathol Rift, the Tanquilla Beach station was a kind of general store and repair facility, because the wilds of the RIt were rarely patrolled. The Tanquilla Beach station was founded by a team of outlaw techs which included Bequesh. A lumpy, cobbled-together station, Tanquilla Beach measured 900 meters in height was was manned by a crew of 1,200. Eighty-five gunners operated the station's weaponry, which included 80 turbolaser batteries, twenty ion cannons, and ten tractor beams. (DARK)

Tansad was later killed by the primitive Aaris while working inside the Place of Kastays, although his body and notes were later recovered by the crew of the FarStar. (DARK)

Tansarii Point Station
This space station was controlled by a loose conglomeration of independent spacers, merchants, and bounty hunters, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Built by Nova Orion Industries, the station was generally considered something of a training ground for many professions, since mentors or partners were often found there to help learn the ropes of the trades.

Tantive Gallery of Progressive Arts
This art museum, located on the planet Tantive IV, was considered the sister facility to the Aldera Museum of Modern Expression. The two facilities were part of the inter-planetary cultural exchanges between Alderaan and Tantive IV, in which artists from both planets were allowed to spend time on either planet to study the artisitic philosophies of their counterparts. (SWI90)

Tantive I
This corvette was part of the Alliance's naval forces, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. The Tantive I served as an escort for the shuttles that were used to rescue starfighter pilots who were stranded in, or ejected from, their fighters during combat. (XW, XWP)

Tantive II
This corvette was part of the Alliance's naval forces, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. The Tantive II served as an escort for the shuttles that were used to rescue starfighter pilots who were stranded in, or ejected from, their fighters during combat. (XW, XWP)

This corvette was part of the Alliance's naval forces, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. The Tantive III served as an escort for the shuttles that were used to rescue starfighter pilots who were stranded in, or ejected from, their fighters during combat. (XW, XWP)

Tantive IV
This Corellian Engineering Corporation Corvette was the diplomatic ship used by the Organa family of Alderaan, on their missions for the Galactic Senate during the final years of the Old Republic. The vessel was originally purchased as a CR70 corvette by Queen Mazicia Organa, and was put into service as Senator Agrippa Aldrete's consular ship. The ship's original name at the time was the Star of Alderaan, and it was commanded by Captain Jeremoch Colton. The exterior of the vessel was painted blue to indicate its home port of Alderaan, but it was not given royal status by decree of the Queen, who feared that the ship might one day have to perform dangerous missions.

When Bail Organa was named Viceroy of Alderaan and took over as the planet's Senatorial representive, the ship was renamed as the Tantive IV in honor of the ambassadors he knew from the Tantive System. The Queen's decision to maintain the vessel as a common vessel proved important when Senator Organa used the vessel to rescue Jedi Master Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi in the wake of the execution of Order 66. With the establishment of the Galactic Empire, Senator Organa chose to elevate the Tantive IV to consular ship status, as a way to ensure the immunity of his crew while he was on missions for the fledgling Alliance to Restore the Republic.

The ship was updated with a Vanguard c20 upgrade, and was painted red to indicate its status as a consular ship, which ostensibly gave the vessel a level of diplomatic immunity, even during the height of the New Order. After Captain Colton retired from military service, the Tantive IV was commanded by Raymus Antilles, who had served as a member of its crew since the time of the Clone Wars. However, the vessel's diplomatic status did not stop Darth Vader from chasing the ship down over Tatooine and boarding it, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. He was pursuing Princess Leia Organa, who he believed to be a supporter of the Alliance.

At the time, Leia was using the Tantive IV to obtain the plans to the first Death Star from Toprawa, then fly to Tatooine to recruit Obi-Wan Kenobi out of retirement. Her mission was intercepted by Vader near Tatooine, after the Devastator caught up to the ship after a short pursuit through hyperspace It was believed that Vader's forces had planted a small homing device on the ship on Ralltiir, where Leia had delivered a cargo of medical supplies to the local rebels. Captain Antilles began firing escape pods at random, and had C-3PO and R2-D2 hide in one of them, holding the stolen plans, in hopes that Vader would not fire on the empty pods.

Although the droids eventually escaped, the Tantive IV was dismantled by Imperial teams who were searching for the Death Star plans. Those members of the crew who surrendered to the Imperials were taken into custody and interrogated. The destruction of the Tantive IV was later explained as being the result of a hyperspace collision with a rogue asteroid, according to reports filed with the Bureau of Ships and Services by the survey vessel Wide-Eyed. These reports were exposed as fabrications some nine years later. (E4, E4R, RESB, VD3, SWDB, SWI90, SWI93, RFDV)

Tantive IV
This planet was the fourth world in the Tantive System. The planetary government was a strong ally of his counterparts on Alderaan, and the two planets maintained a cultural exchange program that benefitted the arts on both worlds. The ambassadors from Tantive IV were honored by Alderaanian Senator Bail Organa, when he renamed the diplomatic vessel Star of Alderaan to Tantive IV, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (SWI90)

Tantive IV Speeder
This was an open-compartment speeder produced for use on warm, tropical worlds. Four seats allowed every passenger to experience the thrill of moving across the beautiful terrain at fast speeds. (NEGV)

Tantive V
This planet, the fifth world in the Tantive System, was the site of a battle between the New Republic and the forces of Admiral Drommel. (WBC, SWI90)

Tantive4
This was another name for the Tantive IV landspeeder. (SWGAL)

Tantive-class Corvette
This was the class of starships that included the Corellian Engineering Corporation's CR90 corvette. These ships were first developed during the final decades of the Old Republic. (RDV)

Tantla
This creature, native to the planet Ealor, was the favored prey of the graiveh. The average tantla measured just over a meter in height and three meters in length, including the tail. They were hunted for their warm, supple pelt, and regulations had to be put in place to ensure the native populations were not decimated. These creatures had a strong family relationship, living and hunting in groups of ten or so individuals in the equatorial regions of the planet. Tantla offspring stayed with their mothers for over a year, and were earnestly protected by the older males. Tantlas had poor vision, a result of the fact that they had a single eye in the center of their face. Tantlas scavenged for their food, using their sucker-tipped tongues to draw in pieces of food. (COG)

Tantor
This Esoomian bounty hunter was known to the inhabitants of Mos Eisley as an "antenna-breaker," or the hired thug of a crimelord. Tantor worked often for Corf Sarb, until Sarb reneged on a pledge to pay Tantor's medical bills after a group of Gamorreans attacked him. Tantor then proceeded to destroy Sarb's fortress in return. Tantor's favorite weapon was a vibro-axe, although he was quite adept at hand-to-hand combat. (WBC)

Tantor, Brenn
The son of an Imperial officer, Brenn and his brother, Dellis, grew upon Garos IV as the perfect Imperial subjects. They respected the military presence of the stormtroopers, and planned to follow in their father's footsteps. However, when the underground resistance began, the Tantors' village was wiped out in a firefight, and both boys were trapped in the rubble. An Imperial stormtrooper rescued them, and they agreed to enter the Academy. Brenn was a year ahead his brother, specializing in combat training and tactical command. They were eventually made honorary members of Cattena Squadron, but their unorthodox membershipmet with resentment among the promoted troops. While Dellis became restless with the lack of comraderie, Brenn hoped that continued diligence would eventually bring about a level of friendship. Brenn trained under Captain Beri Tulon on the use of the Battlefield Holographic Control Interface, and was eventually promoted to Corporal. During a mission to subdue a rebel cell on Kalaan, Brenn's commanding officer was shot in the firefight, and Dellis was shot and killed by one of the rebels. Brenn was issued a field promotion to lieutenant for his skillful remobilization of his squadron, and was eventually promoted to General and served aboard the Star Destroyer Inquisitor. It was aboard the vessel, three years after the Battle of Yavin, that Dellis appeared and tried to explain to Brenn that the Empire had been lying to them. He presented Brenn with a datadisk that contained evidence of the Empire's orders to execute their father. Brenn eventually realized that Dellis was right, and he made contact with Tyr Taskeen just prior to the Battle of Endor. He agreed to turn over an AT-AT walker in exchange for the rescue of Beri Tulon, and later defected to the Alliance. He was reunited with Dellis during the Alliance's ground assault at the Battle of Endor. (FC)

Tantor, Dellis
The son of an Imperial officer, Dellis and his brother, Brenn, grew upon Garos IV as the perfect Imperial subjects. They respected the military presence of the stormtroopers, and planned to follow in their father's footsteps. However, when the underground resistance began, the Tantors' village was wiped out in a firefight, and both boys were trapped in the rubble. An Imperial stormtrooper rescued them, and they agreed to enter the Academy. Dellis was a year behind his brother, specializing in computer sciences like encryption and security systems. They were eventually made honorary members of Cattena Squadron, but their unorthodox membershipmet with resentment among the promoted troops. Dellis became restless with the lack of comraderie, and started to pursue a posting with the Imperial Security Bureau. However, during a mission to subdue a rebel cell on Kalaan, Dellis was shot by one of the Kalaanite rebels. His body was taken to the medical center aboard the Star Destroyer Devastator, and Dellis eventually recovered. He managed to make his way through the command structure, and eventually uncovered information that revealed the Empire had ordered the execution of their father years before. This led Dellis to defect to the Alliance, and he served willingly in several key engagements. Some three years after the Battle of Yavin, Dellis presented the information to Brenn, an in effort to convince Brenn to join the Alliance. Brenn considered the information, and later defected as well. Dellis, on the other hand, was part of the ground assault team that was assigned to eliminate the Imperial deflector shield generator on the Forest Moon of Endor, in preparation for the Alliance's attack on the second Death Star. He was pleasantly surprised to find that Brenn was also a member of the ground forces. (FC)

Tantra
This frigid planet was locked in an ice age during the height of the New Order. Located within the Metharian Nebula, Tantra's surface was covered with more than a kilometer of solid ice. However, there were continental landmasses beneath the ice, and many settlements actually sprung up below the ice. (LOE)

Tantra, Zoodia
This former decorated Imperial TIE Bomber pilot was one of the few females in the Imperial Navy. She didn't care about politics or policy, she just wanted to fly. She was considered a hero of the Navy, having flown nearly sixty missions without failure. However, her sixtieth mission proved tragic, as her escort fighter fired on her bomber by accident while trying to lock onto a B-Wing. Zoodia's bomber crashed on a small moon, but no attempt was ever made to rescue her. She was rescued by an agridroid which notified the authorities of her survival, but Zoodia had suffered major damage to her right arm. The recovery mission arrived too late to save the arm, which had to be amputated and replaced with a cybernetic prosthesis. The artificial arm, coupled with the Empire's lack of commitment to rescue her caused her to resent the Imperials, and she blamed the Empire for her pains. She resigned her commission, and travelled a number of backwater worlds before meeting Xalto Sneerzick. Sneerzick's words rung true with her, although she wasn't sure if it was because of her emotional state or the fact that a droid had rescued her. She joined the Droid Abolitionist Movement, and became Xalto's enforcer. She used her Imperial background as a cover for the Movement's ambushes of Cosmohaul Shipping transports, and then became an engineer when Sneerzick's team managed to infiltrate Cosmohaul and take control of the Argent Lady. However, like all of Sneerzick's followers on the Argent Lady, Zoodia was killed by the very R5 droids she was working to free. (SWJ9)

Tanwa, Suz
This female Rodian was generally considered the most popular female member of her species, outside of the entertainment industry, during the early years of the New Republic. She had never taken a mate, although she was good friends with the Rodian smuggler Chihdo, and was the eldest living member of her clan when she accepted a position as the Chair of Xenoarchaeology at a prestigious Coruscant university. Her resume up until that point was filled with her exploits as a treasure hunter, and her twenty-year career was capped with the discovery of riches beyond anyone's dreams in the Yavin System of the galaxy. The locations of five treasure troves had been passed down from generation to generation in her family for more than 4,000 years, encoded in a seemingly worthless amulet that had been created by Suvam Tan. She discovered the information shortly after the Battle of Yavin, and worried about trying to obtain it while the Empire was still trying to force the Alliance out of the system. The first trove, hidden in the atmosphere of Yavin itself, contained five huge corusca gems. The second artifact, an ancient holoprojector with what appeared to be a pyramidal holocron, was found in the possession of a group of Gerbs on Yavin 13. The third pod, embedded in a mountain on Yavin 8, contained a set of 4,000-year-old blaster weapons. The fourth pod was found on Yavin 4, and the crystal claimed it contained the battle armor of Exar Kun, the Dark Lord of the Sith who once controlled the moon. The last artifact - Suvam Tan's handmade lightsaber - was hidden on Yavin 22. Her personal memoirs were published several years after the Battle of Endor, and attracted an audience among the students at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. (PH)

Taoska
This frozen ball of ice and rock was the fifth planet in the Tyrius system. (SPG)

Taozin
This huge, segmented worm was notable because of its ability to hide from the Force. Known as a Force dragon, the taozin had a long body that was protected by segmented, overlapping plates, dotted with nodules which were several centimeters across. A collection of small arms studded its front sections, while a series of thick legs ran along the sides of its body. The head of the taozin was armed with a pair of meter-long mandibles. Behind each side of the taozin's mouth was speciallized gland which produced a sticky, viscous fluid that solidified on contact with air. The taozin used this to build its tunnels, as well as to caoture prey. Visually, the taozin's entire body was transparent, including its plated skin and internal organs. The internal structure of the taozin's body allowed it to break up light, including the light created by a lightsaber. This made the taozin almost impervious to a lightsaber attack. They were believed to have been extinct, a belief which was due in part to the fact that the creature did not radiate any presence within the Force. It was discovered by the droid I-5YQ that the skin nodules of a taozin could be severed from the body, and yet still were invisible to the Force, as Lorn Pavan used one nodule to sneak up on Darth Maul. This prompted Emperor Palpatine to provide taozin-scale necklaces for the early members of the Inquisitorius, allowing them to search out any Jedi who survived the end of the Clone Wars without being detected. Further investigation revealed that the taozin was native to the moon Va'art. (DMSH, WOTC, PJSB, CN2, CN3)

Taozin Ward
This was the name given to the necklaces worn by the early members of the Inquisitorius. These necklaces were formed from the scales of a taozin, which were pulverized and woven into synthsilk braids, providing an Inquisitor with a kind of shield that prevented other Force-sensitive beings from sensing them through the Force. (CN3)

Tap Tree
Native to the moon Sulon, and similar to the taproot tree of Altor 14, this immense tree can grow for more than 1,000 years. Its tubular roots, known as taps, sank deep into the crust of Sulon and brought water to the moon's surface. The farmers of Sulon maintained tap trees to irrigate their crops. (SFE)

Tapani, Shey
This warrior prince was a member of House Melantha, and rose to power in Tapani Sector some 8,000 years before the Battle of Naboo. It was Shey Tapani who first envisioned a united Tapani Sector government, and to this end he started a vast, bloody civil war to bring all the Houses into a single body. During the twenty years of the war, Tapani eliminated two Houses completely while a third collapsed a century after he was crowned emperor. Tapani established the sector capital on Procopia, building a vast estate on Estalle Island. Sixteen successive generations of Tapani's descendants ruled the Sector, until the dynasty known as the Tapani Empire was overthrown in favor of a more democratic government. (PGT)

Tapani Empire
This was the term used to describe the collection of planets and star systems that were brought under control by Shey Tapani, some 8,000 years before the Clone Wars. Tapani had united the planets in the Tapani Sector under a single government, but only after surviving a bloody civil war to bring all the royal Houses under a common leader. The Tapani Empire was formed from the remains, with Shey Tapani establishing the sector capital on Procopia. Sixteen successive generations of Tapani's descendants ruled the Tapani Empire, surviving even the predations of the Sith Empire during the Great Hyperspace War, until the dynasty was overthrown in favor of a more democratic government, some 2,000 years before the Battle of Yavin.

This small facility, located on Procopia's Estalle Island, was one of the most advanced spaceports found in the galaxy during the height of the New Order. (LOE)

Tapani Sector
This area of the Colonies region of the galaxy was considered a respected part of the Core Worlds, due to its proximity and wealth. It was made up of two distinct areas: The Expanse, located in the heart of the sector; and the Freeworlds Region, situated along its border. In all, Tapani Sector included seventy star systems, of which about 15 systems were heavily populated most other systems have some form of settlement, primarily mining colonies. The inhabited worlds were controlled by some 345 noble families, each of which was aligned with a major political House. On most navigational charts, the only ways into or out of the sector was by the Shapani Bypass or the Giju Run. (EGP, PGT, TSIA)

Tapeno Library
Located on Procopia's Estalle Island, this library was famous for its collection of books, scrolls, mundane holocrons, and computer banks which documented the last 7,000 years of history in Tapani Sector. Despite the support of nearly all the sector's noble Houses, the Library was unable to prevent the complete loss of its records of the Jedi Knights from the planet Pelagia. (LOE)

Taphan, Jizal
This Duros privateer had worked a number of jobs for the megacorporations which mined the surface of her homeworld, only to be betrayed by the anti-alien sentiments of the Empire. She spent much of her life striking back at the various Corellian corporations which had slighted her, attacking their convoys and stealing their cargoes. She was targetted by Elav Feen for capture, since she had been disrupting many of his own shipments, but was never captured. (GMR2)

Tap-Nar-Pal
This Cerean male was training to become a Jedi Knight, under the tutelage of Jedi Master Ronhar Kim, when the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy. Kim recognized Tao's potential, and often felt that his apprentice was well ahead of him in terms of insight and skills. As the war ground on, Tap approached his Master with a strange plan to have all the Senators of the Republic tested for midichlorians. He had heard the story of Obi-Wan Kenobi's imprisonment on Geonosis, and the report Obi-Wan had made about his interrogation by Count Dooku. Tap believed that the war could be cut short if the Sith Lord in the Senate was exposed. Master Kim agreed to bring the idea to his old friend, Chancellor Palpatine, who argued that the idea would cause more damage than good. Tap suggested that Palpatine himself be the first to take the test, thereby showing the rest of the Senate that it was a good idea. Palpatine agreed to think about the idea, but asked the Jedi to keep it to themselves for the time being. Immediately after their meeting with Palpatine, Kim and Tap were dispatched to Merson, to establish a staging area for a larger mission to eliminate the Merson Pirates. While Master Kim led the ground forces, Tap remained in space, leading the starfighters that defended the small fleet that accompanied them to Merson. Both the fleet and the ground forces were ambushed upon their arrival, and were cut off from each other. The ground forces took heavy casualties when Captain Gilad Pellaeon was unable to free up a rescue ship. Tap took it upon himself to break away from the fight to try and rescue his Master, but his ship was badly damaged by Separatist droid starfighters as he reached the planet's surface. Unable to control the ship, Tap died when it plowed into a field and exploded. (RBL)

Tapper, Quelev
Talon Karrde's former second-in-command, Quelev accompanied Kaarde to Varont where they decided to see if the safari business was profitable. Quelev himself was a former leader of a smuggling group, and made a small fortune in the wake of the Battle of Endor. However, much of his business was in Imperial-held territory, and he was hunted down by a local governor. Karrde happened to be in the area, and they agreed to merge their operations and avoid the Imperials. On Varonat, they stumbled onto Gamgalon's Yagaran aleudrope business, and got too close to the truth. They were cornered by Gamgalon's forces, and Tapper tried to turn the tables. He was too slow, though, and was killed in a firefight. (EGC, TFE, SWJ1)

Tarak, Laranth
This green-skinned Twi'lek female was one of the many Jedi Knights who left the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars. However, instead of going into hiding or seeking solitude in which to meditate, Laranth joined the Gray Paladins and set out to store peace to the galaxy in her own way. She was distinguished by the injury to her left lekku, which had been severed near the tip by a blaster bolt, shortly after the execution of Order 66. Laranth refused to have the lekku repaired, and wore the stump as a badge of honor.

Laranth encountered Jax Pavan on Amtor Avenue, in the Blackpit Slums area of Coruscant, several months after the destruction of the Jedi Order. Whether it was the Force that brought them together or not, Laranth found herself agreeing to help Jax locate the droid 10-4TO. After enlisting the help of Rokko the Hutt, Jax and Laranth were joined in their search by Nick Rostu, Den Dhur, and the unusual droid known as I-5YQ. The search led them to the Factory District of Coruscant, where they were apprehended by Prince Xizor, who had already found 10-4TO. Laranth and Den Dhur were swiftly force-cuffed, and had to watch helplessly as Nick was defeated by Xizor. Jax, however, was able to drive of the Falleen prince, set Laranth free.

Any rest they might have had was not to happen, however, as they were surrounded by feral droids and a reactor near their position was overloading. On top of these problems, Darth Vader was also searching for Jax, forcing them to make a hasty escape. However, luck and the Force were with them, and they were able to reach the surface and escape in the Far Ranger, which had been given to Nick Rostu for assisting in his search for Jax. Laranth agreed to stay with Jax and assist with his work for the Whiplash organization, but she found the private investigation work to be somewhat unrewarding. She withdrew into herself, and barely communicated with the rest of the team. She also began tucking the stump of her lekku under the intact one, hiding it from casual glances.

One Day, Laranth up and left their conapt and set off on her own. What she didn't tell her companions was that she had felt a strong tremor in the Force, and her instincts told her that the being was connected to Jax, and not in a nice way. Following the connection to a funfair, Laranth barely survived and encounter with Aurra Sing, whose own sensitivity to the Force alerted her to Laranth's presence. While Laranth had been looking for Sing, Jax and Den Dhur had managed to discover the killer of artist Ves Volette, earning them a regular stipend from Volette's assistant, Dejah Duare. As they were ensuring that Duare reached the freighter Green Asteroid for a trip back to Zeltros, Laranth sensed the presence of another attacker. She barely pushed Jax out of the way before a lightsaber slashed out of the darkness, cutting deep gash in her skin. Aurra Sing had found them, forcing Jax to defend them from her attack. After Jax defeated Sing, he managed to rescue Laranth and get her to a medical facility, where she was able to recover. However, she explained to Jax that she was leaving his group, claiming that she could accomplish more for the resistance if she worked on her own. They shared a brief exchange of emotions through the Force, but Laranth shut him out of her mind before they could openly express these emotions.

In the weeks and months that followed, however, Laranth and Jax were drawn together by a common event when Kajin Savaros appeared in the streets of Ploughtekal Market. The boy was a rogue Force user, and proved himself powerful enough to destroy an Imperial Inquisitor without any formal training. Jax agreed to take the boy in and train him, but he asked that Laranth also help, so that Kajin was able to learn about the Force from a variety of aspects and philosophies. Laranth agreed, and spent several days with Kaj. After the boy was moved to Ves Volette's studio for hir protection, Laranth was surprised to one day sense Kaj's fear and desparation in the area of Gallery Row. She discovered that Kaj had been out for a walk with Dejah Duare, but they were discovered by Probus Tesla and the Imperial Inquisitors. Laranth met up with Jax, and they set out to protect the boy. They were briefly separated, which allowed Mas Sirrah to sneak up on Laranth and attack her with Force Lightning. Laranth nearly fell to this assault, but Kaj drew upon the Force and obliterated the Inquisitor before he could land on her. The pair then rejoined Jax and the others and made their escape from the market.

In the wake of these events, Laranth agreed to move Kajin to a more secure location with the Whiplash organization. During the transfer to the safehouse, however, they were trapped by Inquisitors who used spice gas to try and immobilize them. Laranth tried to fight back, but the drug fogged her mind and made her unable to put up much of a struggle. When she regained consciousness, Larath was upset to learn that she had been taken to the Imperial Security Bureau building, where she was guarded by at least a dozen Inquisitors. Her feelings only became more jumbled when Jax arrived with I-5YQ, Dejah Duare, and Hanimum Tyk Rhinann, hoping to negotiate with Vader. Jax planned to exchange himself and the bota sample that had been entrusted to I-5YQ for Laranth and Kaj, but he was unaware that Laranth herself had been keeping the sample safe. The entire group was disturbed to learn that it had been Dejah Duare who told the Inquisitors of the plans to move Kajin, which ultimately led to his capture. Dejah then explained to Vader that she did not know who had the bota, prompting Laranth to fear that Jax might do something rash. Jax felt her fear through the Force, and realized that she had the sample. However, Vader sensed their connection through the Force and, fearing that they were trying to do something, he used the Force to pin Jax to the wall. Laranth cried out, admitting that she had the bota in order to save Jax. Vader quickly snatched the sample from her and decanted into a port that was hidden within his body armor. The bota swiftly augmented Vader's connection to the Cosmic Force, turning him into a kind of living weapon. Force energy began to gush forth from his body in random blasts, one of which caught I-5YQ and smashed the droid into a wall. Another blast crushed and killed Dejah Duare, and yet another severely injured Probus Tesla. As Jax drew his lightsaber and tried to deflect Vader's blasts, Laranth tried to wrap the Dark Lord in a cloak of Force energy, but Vader's connection to the Cosmic Force was too strong. (CN1, CN2, CN3)

Tar'ak, Nyik
This Ebranite and her sisters, Rith and Tor'ara, were members of the Rull clan, and were sold into slavery in their youth when the Empire took control of Ebra. The three sisters managed a daring escape, forcing the pilot of an Imperial shuttle to take them to the Alliance, where they became some of the first Ebranites to serve. They served in Kesh Sector before joining the ranks of Scandium Team, where they founded the Sandstorm Unit of desert-environment Infiltrators. Rith was the only surviving member of the family following the Wellte-ir Massacre, as both Nyik and Tor'ara were killed near the Umber Banks. (SWJ11)

This renowned Ebranite served the Alliance as an intelligence operative and recruiter. Rith and her sisters, Nyik and Tor'ara, were members of the Rull clan, and were sold into slavery in their youth when the Empire took control of Ebra. The three sisters managed a daring escape, forcing the pilot of an Imperial shuttle to take them to the Alliance, where they became some of the first Ebranites to serve. They served in Kesh Sector before joining the ranks of Scandium Team, where they founded the Sandstorm Unit of desert-environment Infiltrators. Rith herself was considered the best desert fighter of the trio, although she rarely used a blaster and preferred to use the traditional weapons of the Ebranites. Rith was the only surviving member of the family following the Wellte-ir Massacre. Rith was transferred to Yntrann, but later turned down a promotion to full Colonel in order to return ot Ebra as a recruiter. (GG12, SWJ11)

Tar'ak, Tor'ara
This Ebranite and her sisters, Rith and Nyik, were members of the Rull clan, and were sold into slavery in their youth when the Empire took control of Ebra. The three sisters managed a daring escape, forcing the pilot of an Imperial shuttle to take them to the Alliance, where they became some of the first Ebranites to serve. They served in Kesh Sector before joining the ranks of Scandium Team, where they founded the Sandstorm Unit of desert-environment Infiltrators. Rith was the only surviving member of the family following the Wellte-ir Massacre, as both Nyik and Tor'ara were killed near the Umber Banks. (SWJ11)

Taraloon
Located in the Quintar Nebula, Taraloon was a dry, rocky world riddled with caves and caverns. It was discovered by Tron Nixx, who was working for the pirate Drek Drednar. The pirates established their base of operations on the planet. The day on Taraloon lasted 18 standard hours, and the year lasted 285 local days. (SWJ5)

Tarana-te'sath
This was the term used by the Tarasin race to describe their world in the aftermath of a great cataclysm. Many Tarasin elders believed that the tarana-te'sath was going to occur sometime during the Clone Wars. The actions of a single Human Jedi Knight, who had intimate knowledge of the Tarasin, convinced even Mother Dariana that the threat of the tarana-te'sath was real. This Jedi confirmed Dariana's fears about Cularin's survival in the wake of the Clone Wars, and provided the impetus she needed to invoke the shorda'ki. (LFCW)

Taranu, Rif
This man was a noted smuggler, who often carried cargoes for the Alliance during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He used his converted Corellian Space Cruiser, the Dead Reckoning to run weapons and supplies to Alliance worlds on the fringes of the galaxy. After the Battle of Endor, Taranu went back to smuggling full-time for profit. (SOG)

Taras-chi
This insect was native to the planet Kessel. Measuring about three centimeters across, the taras-chi moved about on six legs, and its body was protected by a hard shell. The beings who were enslaved in the Spice Mines of Kessel learned that the taras-chi could be roasted and eaten, although they tasted awful and provided little nutrition. Booster Terrik once claimed that roasted taras-chi tasted like the grime that dripped from a poorly-maintained engine. (LF4)

Taras-chi
According to Kyp Durron, the use of the taras-chi was a Jedi tradition that could be invoked during any important discussion. The taras-chi was defined as that individual who participated in a group discussion, but proposed ideas or courses of action that were contrary to the mood of the group. The advantage of the taras-chi was not in getting their ideas approved, but in having the discussion eliminate unnecessary actions or items and finally identify the true answer.

This tradition was first spoken of during an interview between Kyp, Cal Omas, Luke Skywalker, and Cha Niathal, in which the leaders of the Galactic Alliance tried to persuade Grand Master Skywalker to promote Jacen Solo to the rank of Jedi Master. Citing inside sources, Niathal tried to enlist Kyp's support for Solo's promotion by pointing out that he himself had argued for the promotion within the Jedi Council. Knowing that Solo's promotion would cause trouble for the galaxy, Kyp tried to tactfully deflect Niathal with the story that he was playing the role of the taras-chi, not actually suggesting that Solo be promoted.

In reality, the taras-chi was little more than a species of insect that was native to Kessel. However, Grand Master Skywalker liked the idea of having discussion tactics that weeded out the unnecessary, and decided to use the term as a new tradition within the Jedi Order. It took the other Jedi a little while to get used to the idea of the taras-chi, but many found that the use of the taras-chi encouraged frank and valuable discussions. (LF4)

Tarascii Explosives
This small weapons manufacturer specialized in the design of thermal detonators. Tarascii was a subsidiary of BlasTech, and was one of the few corporations which were licensed by the Empire to manufacture baradium. (ROE)

Tarasin
This species of sentient, quilled reptiloids was native to the planet Cularin. Believed to be descended from the same stock as the kilassin, the Tarasin evolved into social groups and eventually gained sentience. These beings were incredibly attuned to the Force, and their society was based on a symbiotic relationship with their planet. Their religion was also based on the worship of nature, and any actions made against the natural order of the planet were punished. Because of their relationship with the planet, most Tarasin will only travel off-planet for very short periods of time, and only for a short distance. When logging corporations began to discover the exotic trees of Cularin, the Tarasin were driven to fight off several attempts to clear a forest. The skin of a Tarasin was unusual in that it could change its coloration in response to the Tarasin's mood, and also as a form of communication. A more complex form of communication was achieved by simply changing the colors of the fingers on one hand, rather than openly expressing oneself by changing their body color. Naturally, a Tarasin was the light green color of the horonna plant's leaves. White skintone indicated joy, while black signified the end of a conversation. Orange skintone, when similar to that of the gargrell flower, indicated that the Tarasin was angry or irritated, depending on the intensity of the coloration. When a Tarasin changed its skin color to purple - a color which didn't naturally exist in the ecosystem of Cularin - it was often done in one's home, and indicated amusement. Yellow, like the vine of the arrgrar, indicated illness in an individual, while blue indicated a level of respect or deference on the part of the speaker. Among the distinguishing parts of the Tarasin form were the kampo, the Tarasin name for their head-fan, and the sa'tosin, the quills which grew from the backs of their forearms. (LFC, LFCW)

Tarasin Revolt
This bloody struggle between the Tarasin, native to the planet Cularin, and the offworlders who traveled to the planet to harvest ch'hala wood, developed shortly after the Tarasin declared the ch'hala tree to be sacred to their religion. The Tarasin began to prohibit the harvesting of ch'hala trees for wood, despite the efforts of several corporations which had set up logging operations on Cularin. When the Trade Federation began to bring in armed guards to protect their logging operations, the Tarasin responded by attacking the loggers and blocking access to the forests. The violence only escalated when Tarasin tribes across the planet joined in the blockade. The Jedi Knights were eventually called in to mediate the situation, but at first refused to intervene. However, as the violence escalated, the Jedi could no longer sit back and watch. Two counselors were dispatched to the Cularin System. In what became known as the Cularin Compact, the Jedi outlined the rights of the Tarasin people to hold the trees sacred. The Compact also noted that outside logging interests had been previously allowed under Tarasin religion. After six months of negotiation, the Compact described the sharply curtailed logging activities which would be allowed on Cularin, thereby satisfying the Tarasin's demands and allowing logging to continue. A peace between the Tarasin and the offworlders eventually took hold. (LFC)

Tarasinese
This was the native language of the Tarasin people of Cularin. (LFC)

Tarassi
This barren ball of rock was the second planet of the Adega System. It was orbited by a single moon. (GORW)

Tarastra
This gas giant was the fifth planet of the Eriadu System, located in the Outer Rim Territories. It was orbited by a group of seven moons. (GORW)

Taratan
This Kubaz was born on the planet Morning's Bell. It was believed he was captured by the Yevetha when the reptilian race initiated its Great Purge, and held on the Super-class Star Destroyer Pride of Yevetha as a hedge against reprisal by the New Republic. In reality, Taratan and many others had fled Yevethan capture on the Star Morning while Enara maintained an illusion which made the Yevetha believe he was still in the Star Destroyer's holds. (TT)

Taray
This Nothoiin male was one of just a handful of non-humans ever to work in Cloud City's Wing Guard during the height of the New Order. Originally a native of the Kaniti province on Bavva, Taray grew up in a lawless environment that gave him the resolve to become a police officer. At Bespin, Taray held the rank of Sergeant, and was not above breaking the very laws he was charged with enforcing, so long as he ensured that the spirit of the law was upheld. Taray was also loyal to Lando Calrissian, and often cited individuals for marginal crimes if they spoke ill of the Baron-Administrator. (WOA34)

Ta'raysh
This Mandalorian word represented the number 10. (OWS)

Ta'raysh solus
This Mandalorian word represented the number 11. (OWS)

Ta'raysholan
This Mandalorian word represented the number 1,000. (OWS)

Tarc
This race of carnivorous crustaceans was native to the planet Hjaff. They were believed to have evolved from a race of sea-dwelling crustaceans, but were forced to live on dry land over time. The average Tarc was bipedal, standing on two legs and having four arms. The upper pair of arms had dextrous hands, while the lower pair had huge claws for fighting. They stood about two meters tall, but their exoskeleton and their musculature made them extremely large. They lacked lips, teeth, and tongues, but their mouths were filled with small, hollow spikes which were used to inject an acidic saliva into their food. Primary digestion began in the mouth, and the spikes could then be used to shred their food into smaller pieces for swallowing. Tarcs ate primarily the mollusks and other small creatures which lived in the deserts of Hjaff. As a race, the Tarcs were not necessarily violent, but they maintain a zero-tolerance stance with other races. They colonized much of the space around Hjaff, and protected their worlds with a navy known as the Ivlacav Gourn. Tarcs were not allowed to leave their native system, and it was a crime to be caught outside their home without permission. (AE)

Tarc
This was the alias given to the young boy, Dab Hantaq, by Viqi Shesh, during their attempt to escape from Coruscant aboard the Millennium Falcon. Senator Shesh, under the guise of the refugee Welda, claimed that Tarc was the orphaned son of Ran Kether. Their ruse was discovered by the combat droid YVH 1-507A, which detected that Senator Shesh was using an ooglith masquer to alter her appearance. Tarc followed Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, to the based on Borleias after Coruscant was lost to the Yuuzhan Vong, trying to regain a measure of respectability with the New Republic. He renounced his old name and simply went by Tarc, and eventually made friends with Tam Elgrin. In the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War, he eventually dropped the name Tarc and returned to his given name. (SBS, EL1, EL2, FJ1)

Tarchalian Gazelle
This was one of the most graceful creatures in the galaxy. (CWWS)

Tardi
This man, the Alliance's Minster of Finance and a Viscount by title, accompanied Leia Organa to Aargau, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. The Alliance hoped to acquire funding for a new squadron of X-Wing starfighters, and believed that Tardi was the only member of the Alliance with the knowledge of banking protocol to successfully complete such a transaction with the Bank of Aargau. They planned to use the Crown Jewels of Alderaan as their collateral, knowing that a loan would be granted almost immediately. Unknown to the rest of the galaxy, however, Tardi had actually died several months earlier. Alliance technicians created an android duplicate, knowing that it could pass through Aargauun customs without a problem. The tricky part would be leaving Aargau, when it was discovered that Tardi was actually a droid. For this reason, Leia schemed to have Darth Vader - who was on Aargau to stop the loan - "kill" Tardi in a fight. Vader, however, had secretly turned the tables on Leia. Viscount Tardi's personal doctor was actually an Imperial spy, and relayed information of his death to Vader. After learning that she planned to use the jewels as collateral, Vader bribed the Aargauun officials into allowing him to acquire them. He then went out of his way to explain this to Leia, after disabling the Tardi droid, so that she could not stop him from taking them without canceling the loan for the X-Wings. (MC48)

Ta-Ree
This was the name given to the Force-like energy which permeated the planet Kathol and much of Kathol Sector. Formed when the concentrated life-energies of the ancient Kathol - trapped in the Lifewell in the wake of the Rift Disaster - twisted the very essense of the Force, the Ta-Ree gave beings on Kathol unusual powers, and amplified the effects of the Force in beings from the rest of the galaxy. However, Ta-Ree powers were only usable on Kathol, as the energy of the Lifewell was focused there. The name "Ta-Ree" was a word which meant "spirit energy" among the various species which lived on the planet Kathol. When the Kathol that were trapped in the Lifewell sensed that beings from other races - mainly the crew of the FarStar - were using Ta-Ree powers, the Kathol began to manipulate the Ta-Ree energy to make it unusable to beings who were not native to Kathol. (E)

Tarelle Sel-Weave
This lustrous fabric was used in the creation of high-fashion shirts during the height of the New Order. (VD)

Taren Plague
This dreaded disease had recently been slowed by the use of drugs created on Meris III. (PG)

Tarfang
This vindictive Ewok served as Jae Juun's first mate aboard the XR808g and, later, the DR919a, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He opposed the notion that they should help Han Solo locate the nests of the Colony, and often swore a blue streak about it in Ewokese, if only to vent his frustration. Despite his vehemence, however, Tarfang was extrememly loyal to Jae Junn, and followed his every move with dedication and perseverence.

When they were forced to confront the Gorog nest ship near the Tusken's Eye, about a year after the Qoribu Crisis, Tarfang found himself the prisoner of Lomi Plo. Luke Skywalker diverted the mission to destroy the Gorog ship's hyperdrive long enough to catch hold of the Ewok with the Force, then drew Tarfang back to safety. During their escape from the nest ship, Tarfang was able to locate the lost lightsaber of Mara Jade Skywalker, and used it with maniacal glee to cut his way to freedom. In the aftermath of the blockade, Jae Juun and Tarfang found themselves being approached by Admiral Nek Bwua'tu, who offered them positions as intelligence agents. Bwua'tu knew that their knowledge of the Colony, as well as their contacts at Second Mistake Enterprises, put them in a position to gather information about the Killiks.

Jae Juun and Tarfang heartily agreed to the offer, and they continued to work in some of the most dangerous war zones, always managing to somehow survive the mission. By posing as Fefze, Tarfang and Jae Juun managed to alert Han and Leia Organa Solo to the fact that The Directors had ordered the Flakax Tito and Yugi to kill the Solos. In the wake of the Swarm War, Jae Juun and Tarfang continued to serve as intelligence agents, and were among the many beings who were charged with keeping an eye on Han and Leia Solo during the Galactic Alliance's conflict with The Confederation. This led them to Kashyyyk, where the Solos hoped to convince the Wookiees to secede from the Alliance. The Rock Council accepted their presence, and even gave Tarfang the nickname of Little Killer for his ferocity. Tarfang tried to physically prevent the Solos from reaching the top of Council Rock, but was unable to stop them.

When the Wookiees agreed to let Leia Solo address the Rock Council, Tarfang demanded a chance to stop her by challenging Leia for possession of the Talking Bone. Their duel was cut short when Luke Skywalker arrived with word of the Jedi Order's defection from the Galactic Alliance. (DN1, DN2, DN3, LF6)

Tarfful
This dark-furred Wookiee warrior was one of the thousands who defended their homeworld during the last months of the Clone Wars. For Tarfful it was personal, since much of the fighting took place in Kachirho, where he served as the city's leader. During the war, Tarfful was captured by Separatist-funded Trandoshan slavers, but was later rescued by the Delta Squad of clone commandos. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Tarfful traveled to Coruscant to accept the assistance of the Grand Army of the Republic, and he and Chewbacca were glad to have the support of Jedi Master Yoda and his clone troops, led by Commander Gree. However, after Chancellor Palpatine revealed that he was actually Darth Sidious, the Wookiees found themselves the targets rather than the allies. Although Chewbacca managed to gather up Master Yoda and flee, Tarfful was caught in the crossfire and was believed to have been killed. This was all a ruse, meant to cover the escape of Master Yoda and Chewbacca, while allowing the Wookiees time to ambush their pursuers. Tarfful then helped Yoda reach an emergency escape craft, while barking orders to his fellow Wookiees to eliminate the remaining clones. Some months after Yoda's disappearance, Tarfful welcomed Olee Starstone to Kachirho, when the young Jedi Padawan explained that she was beginning her search for any Jedi who might have survived Order 66. Tarfful agreed to disguise the Jedi as valued customers, while they gathered information on the whereabouts of the Jedi who were serving on Kashyyyk during the Clone Wars. (OWS, IS3, VD3, SWDB, RDV)

Target Alpha
This was the codename used by the police force aboard Centerpoint Station to describe Jacen Solo, when he managed to infiltrate the station some ten years after the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, in an effort to disable the station and prevent Thrackan Sal-Solo from using it as a weapon against the Galactic Alliance. (LF1)

Target Dewback
This was the codename of the downed Alliance Y-Wing starfighter lost on planet NCW-781. (IA)

Target Drone
This small device was used by starfighter pilots to hone their dogfighting skills. (CSWEA)

Target Star System
This was the name given to the simplest of hyperspace navigational computer systems. It used basic algorithms to plot a straight-line course from a starship's current location to its destination. This destination was denoted as the "target star". Add-on modules provided the target Star System with additional sophistication, allowing a pilot to account for known gravity shadows and mass disturbances. (PM11)

Target-Aggressor Attack Resolution Software
Known as TAARS for short, this starfighter training software allowed training squadrons to document shots taken, hits, and kills without causing real damage to the starfighters themselves. The software interfaces with the ship's targetting computer, telling the pilot when he was hit and when he was killed. (XWN)

Targeter
Winter's alias during the height of the Imperial Civil War. She only used it for a few weeks on the planet Averam. (TLC)

Targeter
This was the brand name of a Merr-Sonn ranging scope, produced for use with blaster and laser rifles. It was designed for use by competition shooters, but found wide acceptance in military and paramilitary circles. (ROE)

Targeter Droid
Developed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, targeter droids were crude automata that served as semi-intelligent missile guidance drones. Each targeter droid used a collection of sensors and laser range-finders to pinpoint the location of a target, then homed in on the target with incredible accuracy. Information about the target was then relayed to a nearby bomber or other war vessel, which used the data to launch their own projectile weapons. (LF1)

Targeting Computer
A device used to aid in targeting shipboard weapons. They can be very small (such as the holographic crosshairs used on X- and Y-Wing snub fighters) were large (used to target the heavy turbolasers on a capital ship). (E4, SCRE)

Targis, Yvonne
This near-human female was the proprietor of Mos Eisley's transport depot. (GG7)

Targon, Elassar
This high-strung Devaronian male joined the New Republic's Wraith Squadron, after the loss of Lara Notsil. A graduate of the Republic's Fleet Command Academy, he had a loose, joking manner that fit in well with the Wraiths. When his initial introduction, using the standard armed forces protocol, failed to impress the Wraiths, he addressed them as "master of the universe" and quickly earned their friendship. Years later, during the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong, Elassar was one of the Wraiths chosen to accompany Luke Skywalker on a mission to infiltrate Coruscant, after the Yuuzhan Vong captured the planet. (SOC, EL1)

Targonn
This planet, located in the Periphery region of the galaxy, was ruled by the insane dictator Craw during the height of the New Order. (DRO, TGD)

Targonnian
This race of furred, reptilian avians was native to the planet Targonn. The average Targonnian had overly large beaks, cranial horns, and green skin. (DRO)

Targrim, Big Jak
This four-armed, hulking alien was the pirate leader of the Riders of the Maelstrom. His genetic structure had been altered over time by the addition of gene material from various evil criminals and warlords to make him even more ruthless and evil. This plicing of genetic patterns had resulted in Big Jak having a wildly-variable personality, as each of the genetic patterns tries to assert itself. His face was scarred in battle. Big Jak resented the intrusion of Rodin Higron's pirate group on Oasis, and schemed to capture a large ship passing through the Maelstrom. Once he was in control of a large ship, he would set it on autopilot to crash into Oasis and destroy Higron's pirates. Big Jak's chance came when the Kuari Princess made its way through the Maelstrom. The Riders were able to board the luxury liner and gain control of its bridge. His plot was foiled by the timely intervention of Alliance agents, who were on board the ship trying to thwart the plans of Imperial Moffs Vanko and Torpin. Big Jak managed to escape before the Alliance agents could capture him. (RM)

Tarhassan
This planet, the homeworld of the Tarhassan race, seceded from the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars, despite its previous membership within the Republic. The secession was something of a surprise to the Republic, especially the sudden disappearance of Intelligence agent Edbit Teeks. (SWI73)

Tarhassan
This was the name given to the human population which was native to the planet Tarhassan. As a people, the Tarhassans were fond of bright colors and lights, as reflected in their clothing and cityscapes. Note that Star Wars Insider, issue 73, also describes these people as Tarhassians. (SWI73)

Tarhassan Planetary Security
Also known as PlanSec, this was the primary police force that protected the planet Tarhassan during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When the Tarhassan govnerment allied itself with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, PlanSec quickly adopted the tenents and mindset of the Separatists, and began cracking down on possible Republic sympathizers. It was believed that PlanSec was behind the abduction of Edbit Teeks, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. (SWI73)

Tarhassian
This was another name for the human population of the planet Tarhassan. (SWI73)

Tarhead
This was a derogatory term used to describe any being who became addicted to black membrosia. (DN3)

Tarheel, Cinda
This balck-haired woman served the Alliance at the base on the planet Arbra, during the months following the Battle of Hoth. She was part of a team, along with Luke Skywalker and Berl, that was dispatched to Serphidi to make contact with the native Serps. Captain Tarheel's X-Wing fighter was shot down over Serphidi by Imperial TIE Fighters when they entered the system, and she was forced to crash-land her ship on the surface. Only years of experienced helped her make the landing successfully. However, as soon as Luke and Berl arrived to help, they were set upon by a group of armored Serps. Berl was shot and killed, and Cinda was wounded and taken prisoner. She was forced to be one of King S'Shah's slave girls, until the Serp King revealed that she was going to be the main course at a dinner in his honor. She briefly escaped, but was shortly captured and subdued. She was to be cooked at the dinner following one of S'Shah's doom-jousts, but Luke managed to defeat the King, with some help from Elglih. The elderly Serp freed Cinda, and agreed to support the Alliance. (MC64)

Tariq, Amer
This man served as the Governor-General of Rhinnal, during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He was forced to close off Rhinnal from the refugees fleeing the Yuuzhan Vong, including Leia Organa-Solo. He did, however, provide her with information on Ruan's acceptance for refugees. (JE)

Taris
This urban planet was located in the Outer Rim Territories. During the millennia before the Great Sith War, Taris' planetwide city was rivalled only by Coruscant itself in its beauty and grandeur. Over the centuries, though, much of the cityscape fell into disrepair and ruin. By the time of the Great Sith War, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, the cityscape was terrorized by swoop gangs and packs of rakghouls. Those natives with wealth and power escaped to the upper levels of the city, known as the Upper City, leaving the rest of the population to fester in the Lower City.

In the fighting that occurred during the Sith War and the subsequent Mandalorian Wars, Taris was eventually attacked and much of its surface was leveled in a series of attacks launched by the Sith and the Mandalorians. The planet was abandoned for centuries to come, as few beings believed that it could ever be restored. However, the diligent work of the native population led to a sort of rebirth during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The planet escaped the terraforming fate of many other urban worlds, and was able to rebound quickly in the wake of the war against the alien invaders.

Within ten years of the end of the war, Taris' Upper City was once again a shiny metropolis, with skylines that were reminiscent of Coruscant. The Lower City, however, remained unattended, and continued to wallow in depravity and crime. (SWI63, KOTOR, SWDB, LF2, KOR4)

Taris Chamber of Commerce

This was the alias used by Marn Hierogryph to describe Celeste Morne and Zayne Carrick, after they were discovered on the planet Jebble, during the Mandalorian Wars. Celeste Morne had been tracking the Muur Talisman, and Zayne and Marn had followed her on her quest. After landing on Jebble, they realized that the Mandalorians believed them to be new recruits, so Marn found himself a suit of armor and figured out that the two humans would be useful in a scheme to reach the computers hidden inside the Waypoint. He claimed that Pulsipher was looking for computer slicers, and that he had found Joam and Hettie Hierogarl, who we claimed were the Taris Techno-Terror Twins. The Mandalorians let them enter the citadel, unaware of their true identity. (KORV)

Tarisian

His father trained him in various martial arts, hoping Moxin would follow in his footsteps and join the military. Moxin wanted nothing to do with the Empire, and soon left his homeworld of Bandonia and took up bounty hunting. Somehow, he managed to obtain a set of battle armor from the Sun Guards of Thyrsus, which he modified for his own usage. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Tark killed Narn Detan in the Geal System, and had been on the run from the New Republic ever since. (WBC)

This creature, which was native to the planet Corellia, was similar in appearance to a blethyline, although it was of a different size and color. (MJH)

Tarka-Null
This being was one of the Old Republic's most admired artists. (E3N)

Tarkazza
This silverback Wookiee male was Katarra's father and bodyguard during the Imperial occupation of Kashyyyk. He was identifiable by his black fur, which was striped with silver. He once had to transport Han Solo in a quulaar sling, when Han first visited Kashyyyk and was unable to climb the wroshyr trees. (RD)

This was the designation of a Nebulon-B2 frigate that was part of the Alliance's fleet. (TIE)

Tarkenian Nightflower
An alcoholic drink. (RD)

Tarkin
This Imperial weapons project was developed in the Patriim System, in the wake of the destruction of the first Death Star during the Battle of Yavin. It combined the Death Star's offensive weaponry and ionic cannons with a new set of engines and defensive shield generators, reducing the number of support personnel needed operate the weapon. The designers also upgraded the ship's exhaust systems, eliminating the weakness of the Death Star. The Tarkin's main fuselage was based on the design of the Super-class Star Destroyer, but on a scale comparable to that of the Death Star. A team of Alliance agents, including Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, managed to infiltrate the superweapon and destroy a main power generator, as well as reversing the polarization of its fire control mechanism. When Colonel Nord tried to fire the ionic cannon on the fleeing Alliance agents, the Tarkin fired inward on itself and exploded, killing all aboard and tearing itself apart. (EGC, LTA3, MC51)

Tarkin
This Omwati word, derived from the name of Imperial Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, loosely translated into Basic as a combination of "butcher" and "demon". (NEGC)

Tarkin, Gideon
This former Brigadier served the Old Republic with distinguished loyalty, but was overshadowed during the New Order by his older brother, Willhuf. After serving in the Eriadu navy during the height of the Clone Wars, Gideon was later killed in during the Erhynradd Massacre. (CRO, NECH)

Tarkin, Lady
The widow of Grand Moff Willhuf Tarkin, the Lady Tarkin ran the Imperial megonite moss mining colony on Phelarion. She worked her miners to exhaustion in an effort to avenge her husband's death. When Leia Organa was stranded on the planet following her escape from Darth Vader, Leia was chosen as a servant by the Lady. Leia, in this position, helped smuggle the energy-giving moss off the planet. When Darth Vader himself came to Phelarion and confronted the Lady Tarkin about the smuggled moss, Leia realized that she had been using Lady Tarkin's own transponder to call the smugglers. She realized that she had to escape soon. Leia escaped from Lady Tarkin's service, and little was known of the fate of Lady Tarkin. (CSWEA, EGC)

Tarkin, Ranulph
A member of the Tarkin family of Eriadu, Ranulph Tarkin was a Senator who styled himself as a General in the Old Republic armed forces during the years just prior to the Stark Hyperspace War. He was known as the leader of the faction known as the Militarists, and he continually addressed the Senate in an effort to form a strong Army and Navy. When his requests for military backing were denied, General Tarkin formed his own Navy, culling officers and ships from the ranks of the Republic's meager forces which were loyal to him. He offered to take this fleet and smash the negotiations which were being held between the Republic and the Stark Commerical Combine, an offer which Nute Gunray of the Trade Federation could not refuse. Gunray told Tarkin that the negotiations were taking place on Troiken, and Tarkin set out in the flagship Invincible to destroy Iaco Stark. Unfortunately, Stark had anticipated the military action, and placed a navigational computer virus in the memory banks of Tarkin's entire fleet. Many ships were destroyed or lost, but the Invincible arrived at Troiken. Its supporting fleet was decimated, and Stark's forces picking the fleet apart. Tarkin, however, refused to admit defeat. While he ordered his crew to abandon ship, Tarkin fled to his personal shuttle with his aide, Jace Dallin. Tarkin ordered his forces to regroup on Troiken, but they were badly outnumbered again by Stark's mercenaries. Tarkin railed against then-Senator Finis Valorum and the Jedi Knights who came to their aid, and his own troops began to question his leadership. Tarkin tried to trap Stark on his own, but was killed when he accidentally set off the explosives he meant to use against Stark. Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum posthumously honored Tarkin for his efforts, although many beings criticized the move, claiming that Valorum had decorated Ranulph because of the support of the Tarkin family in his election. (SHW, NECH)

Tarkin, Rivoche
This strikingly beautiful woman was the daughter of Brigadier Gideon Tarkin, and the niece of Grand Moff Willhuf Tarkin. After the death of her father during the Erhynradd Massacre, she was offered a home at her uncle's estate. She was began to throw tantrums around her adopted parents, resentful of the fact that her father had been taken away from her. She was shipped off to a prep school on Claer, and began to hate her uncle and everything he stood for. After meeting Biggs Darklighter and learning of the Alliance, she began passing information to him in order to thwart Imperial operations. She continued to act as a deep-cover spy for the Alliance after the destruction of Alderaan, using her position as an Imperial socialite to gain access to secret information. She was caught on the planet Corulag and forced into an engagement to Vastin Caglio, shortly before the Battle of Hoth, but was eventually rescued by Cryle Cavv and Quillin Arkell. After the Battle of Endor and the downfall of the Empire, Rivoche became a member of the New Republic's historical branch. She reported on the fighting that occurred between the New Republic and the remnants of the Empire on Coruscant. She was stationed on the Emancipator when it was disabled. (CRO, DESB, SWJ12)

Tarkin, Wilhuff
Although his origins and his Imperial service records were sparse, Tarkin had a noticeable career with the Imperial Navy before proposing the infamous "Rule by Fear" doctrine to Emperor Palpatine. Tarkin was born some thirty years before the Battle of Naboo. Early in his career, Tarkin was the Lieutenant Governor of the planet Eriadu before becoming a Commander in the Republic Outland Regions Security Force, where he first exerted his power by coercing Raith Sienar into an attempt to take control of the planet Zonama Sekot. Despite the setbacks suffered there, Tarkin nevertheless manipulated events in his favor, and gained considerable status in the eyes of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. He was elevated to the position of Governor during the height of the Clone Wars, serving Palpatine on Coruscant as the battle raged across the galaxy. His rise to power within the Imperial military was equally smooth; he was promoted from Captain to Moff for taking the initiative and commanding the Ghorman Massacre. It was during this time that he noticed the talents of Daala on Carida, and brought her along with him when he became Grand Moff of the Outer Rim Territories. The two became intimate confidantes, sharing their dreams for rulership along with their passion for each other, even though Tarkin had a wife back on Phelarion. Tarkin's innate evil and cunning was evident in his establishment of the Maw Installation, a secret laboratory dedicated to the creation of the superweapons which would make governing the Empire easier. When the Empire tried to enslave the Mon Calamari, Tarkin took centerstage in the attack. It was at this time that Tarkin obtained Ackbar as his personal slave. There were also rumors that Tarkin was given Ackbar as a slave by an opportunistic subordinate. Ackbar used this period to absorb all that he could about Imperial fleet strengths and weaknesses, and he also learned a great deal about Tarkin's personality. He also learned a great deal about the first Death Star in this way. When the Alliance tried to assassinate Tarkin, they were thwarted by Imperial ships, but managed to rescue Ackbar. Tarkin's major contribution to the Emperor's cause was the Death Star, which he used to rule the Outer Rim for a brief period. Palpatine assigned Tarkin to the Death Star, hoping to quell the various rebellions that occurred in the Outer Rim. However, Tarkin also had a hidden objective in creating the Death Star. Once the battle station was operational, he'd hoped to use it against Palpatine, in an attempt to take control of the galaxy for himself. Palpatine foresaw some of Tarkin's motives, and assigned Wullf Yularen as Tarkin's assistant. Tarkin's personal ambitions and self-confidence got the best of him, though, during the Battle of Yavin. Tarkin refused to evacuate the station, even with the knowledge that the Alliance had found a flaw to exploit. Governor Tarkin was killed when the Death Star was destroyed, even as he gave the command to fire on the Massassi base. The Empire released an official death notice for Tarkin, but it claimed that he died in a shuttle crash at the Tallaan Shipyards. (E4, E4R, MTS, XW, JS, DA, DS, CCG, EGC, RP, DMS, E2, BF6, OWS)

Tarkin Doctrine, The
This was a set of guidelines for ruling the Galactic Empire that were documented by Grand Moff Willhuf Tarkin, during the early years of the New Order. Much of what was written in the Tarkin Doctrine was adopted as part of the basic tenets of Imperial operating procedure. The simple message of the Tarkin Doctrine was described as "ruling by the fear of force rather than through force itself." Officially communicated to the Emperor in Imperial Communique #001044.92v, the doctrine explained that the "liquidation of a dozen small threats was easier than rooting out one well-established center of defiance… if we use our strength wisely, we shall intimidate thousands of worlds with the example of a select few."

Emperor Palpatine himself embraced the Tarkin Doctrine, developing a huge war machine that was characterized by faceless, armor-clad stormtroopers on the ground and huge Star Destroyers in space. Furthermore, the Emperor believed that the Death Star's ability to destroy a planet - as evidenced by the destruction of Alderaan - would be a sufficient deterrent to rebellion.

The destruction of the Death Star by the tiny ships of the Alliance, coupled with Tarkin's own death at the Battle of Yavin, gave the masses reason to hope, and only served to undermine the possible success of the Tarkin Doctrine. (ISB, E4, DE1, DA, FC, OWS)

Tarkin Memorial Conference Center
This impressive building was located in Eriadu City, on the planet Eriadu. Named for the Tarkin family that shaped the government of Eriadu and the New Order, the Tarkin Center augmented the already expansive adminstrative headquarters of Seswenna Sector. (GORW)

Tarkin-12
A port tower located on Byss, the Hyperspace Roamer was ordered to land there, at bay 327. (DE2)

Tarkin's Fang
This was the name of a secret Imperial base, hidden in the Deep Core near Treskov-115W. Tarkin's Fang was located on a planet that was at the end of several hyperspace travel routes, but all routes to the base were dead-ends. The Tarkin's Fang base was located a few light-minutes from the Treskov System and the mines on Ebaq 9. (DW)

Tarkin's Shears
This form of swoopchasing obstacle was outlawed by the sanctioned racing authority, but nevertheless was popular on non-regulated courses. Based on the Luzitall water obstacle, Tarkin's Shears employed transparisteel pikes imbedded in the outgoing walls of certain hairpin turns. The transparent spikes impaled those racers who came too close to the walls of the ravine while negotiating the turn. (BSS)

Tarkin's Teeth
This jagged mountain range was located on the planet Carida, and was one of the many locations used by the Imperial Academy to train stormtroopers. Named for Moff Tarkin, the mountains were arid points of land situated about 300 kilometers from the Academy campus. They had been used for wargames for a few hundred years, and were the proving grounds for the MT-ST walker. (PH)

Tarkin's Teeth
This Imperial phrase was used after the fall of Willhuf Tarkin, and indicates surprise when sworn. (VOF)

Tarkona
This was one of the more powerful Twi'leki clans. The name meant "stormy weather" in the Twi'leki language. (TEP, GCG)

Tarkona, Nolaa
This female Twi'lek was distinguished by her greenish skin and her single head-tail. A group of optical sensors was mounted in the stump of her missing head-tail, which had been shot off when she escaped from her former slave master. The optical sensors helped to overcome the sensory deprivation she would have experienced if she had left the stump alone. In order to galvanize herself for the work she planned to carry out, Tarkona had several tattoos placed on the remaining head-tail. The pain of the stinger needle helped her to focus on the tasks that would be required, and the tattoos became a symbol of her strength and determination.

It was rumored that she was Oola's sister, although it was later discovered that she was actually Oola's half-sister. Nolaa Tarkona grew to power on her homeworld of Ryloth, when she smashed the male-dominated head clans and assumed sole control over the planet's government. She made sweeping reforms that nearly eliminated the slave trade on Ryloth, and ensured that Twi'lek females were no longer sold as dancing girls to the highest bidder. To emphasize her growing power, Tarkona sharpened her teeth to points, a physical trait that had previously been only allowed in males of her race. She also took control of the profits from ryll mining, claiming that she would use the profits to improve life on Ryloth.

Over time, Tarkona's ambition formed the basis of the Diversity Alliance. She recruited many non-human races to join the Diversity Alliance, using fiery speeches and her natural charisma to convinced alien races to join the cause. In order to gain more power, Tarkona began diverting the profits from the sale of ryll spice to the coffers of the Diversity Alliance. She also put in motion a sweeping plan to eradicate the human race from the galaxy. While the Diversity Alliance campaigned for the rights of non-humans, Tarkona sought the location of the Emperor's Plague as a quick way to rid the universe of the human race. She paid Bornan Thul to transport it to her, but he discovered the truth behind her plans and disappeared with the datadisk that held the location of the Imperial storehouse that contained the plague.

Nolaa Tarkona was forced put a substantial bounty on Thul's head, hoping that bounty hunters like of Boba Fett and Dengar might bring him back. It was during this time that many members of the Diversity Alliance began to question her motives, especially when they learned that she was not above abusing their trust to gain more power for herself. When she finally located the Imperial storehouse, Tarkona found herself face-to-face with Bornan Thul, who tried to stop her from stealing the plague. With the help of the yougn students of Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy, Tarkona was nearly captured. In the firefight between their forces, several of the Imperial plagues were unleashed, including the Emperor's Plague and a virus dangerous to Twi'leks. Both Bornan Thul and Nolaa Tarkona contracted one of Evir Derricote's viruses in the plague chamber, but Tarkona managed to escape with Raabakyysh.

They fled the storehouse, but Tarkona was too ill to notice that the young Wookiee had blindly jumped into hyperspace. Raaba landed on a remote world and quarantined them both, until Nolaa died of her virus. She hoped that the virus would eventually die, and become harmless to the rest of the galaxy. (SHA, DIV, TEP, NECH)

Tarkosa, Brace
This elderly man was one of the Councilors who worked on the Managing Council of the survivors of the Outbound Flight Project, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Tarkosa was also one of the few remaining Survivors, having been an original member of the Outbound Flight team. During the early phases of Outbound Flight's development, Tarkosa was among individuals who bristled at the near-constant delays and political infighting that wreaked havoc with their work schedules. He was also onw of the leaders of a small group that opposed the near-tyranny that was imposed on the crews by Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth. The group's desire for equality led C'baoth to detain them in the ship's central storage core, where they were spared from the blasts of the radiation bombs used by the Chiss against the crews of the Dreadnaughts. Like many others among the Survivors, Tarkosa was angry at the Jedi Knights for not providing better protection against their attackers. When a Chiss-led expedition located the remains of Outbound Flight, Tarkosa called for the slow execution of every being assocaited with the original attack. His vengeance went unfufilled, as most of the Chiss who took part in the attack had since died. After the Vagaari threat was eliminated, Tarkosa grudgingly agreed to accompany the Outbound Flight Colony to Nirauan, staying as far away from the New Republic as they could. (SQ, OF)

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

Tarl
This young boy was one of three children Yander had with his first wife, on the planet Ord Cestus. The children grew up for many years without a mother, until Yander married Sheeka Tull. After Yander's death, the children continued living with Sheeka, although they stayed with aunts and uncles whenever Sheeka had to work. (TCD)

Tarl
This Imperial stormtrooper was assigned to the detachment led by Lieutenant Stalgis, which accompanied Luke Skywalker to Munlali Mafir during his search for information on the rogue planet Zonama Sekot. When their party was attacked by mutated Krizlaws, Tarl was caught and forced to ingest a Jostran individual. The Jostran began to fuse itself to Tarl's spine and nervous system, and would have overtaken him if Luke and his nephew, Jacen Solo, hadn't used the Force to keep the creature at bay. They took Tarl back to Tekli's medical facilities aboard the Widowmaker, where the Chadra-Fan was able to extricate the Jostran and save his life. (FH2)

Tarl
This Imperial Sergeant was assigned to the garrison on the forest moon of Endor, protecting the shield generator installation. (CCG10)

Tarla

Tarlen, Bentu Pall
The head of the Imperial Center Construction Contracts Division, Bantu was also on Prince Xizor's payroll. He kept Xizor abreast of the current bids on construction projects. This allowed Xizor's legitimate construction business to underbid and win the contracts. (SE, SESB)

Tarlok, Kilon
This odd fellow managed the Terman Station outpost, between Sriluur and Sespe along the Sisar Run, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He had been in control of the station well before the Nalroni crimelord Spraz showed up and usurped the station. Tarlok believed that Sprax gave him complete control of the station, as long as the credits ended up in Sprax's coffers. In reality, Sprax planned to remove Tarlok at his earliest convenience. (SSR)

Tarm
This man, a native of the planet Jomark, was a villager who got involved in a dispute with Svan, some five years after the Battle of Endor. The dispute was mediated by Joruus C'baoth, with the help of Luke Skywalker, who had just arrived on the planet. (DFR)

Tarmul
This plant, native to the planet Qiilura, was used in the planting of ornamental hedges. (RCHC)

Tarn
This man worked as a mechanic on his homeworld of Dantooine during the years following the Jedi Civil War. (KOTOR2)

Tarn
This young boy was the son of an Alliance crewman who served aboard the Republic's Return. He and his sister, Mavis, often nagged Deen Voorson for stories, during the long stretches of time between stops. (SWJ11, OWS)

Tarn, Eremin
This Jedi Knight, the second Padawan trained by Maks Leem, was one of the many who left the Jedi Order at the onset of the Clone Wars. Eremin believed that Jeisel and her band were correct about the Jedi Order, and Eremin's strong principles led him to abandon the Order to seek out the true path. (YDR)

Tarn, Rhad
This young man was one of the many Jedi Knights who felt that the Jedi Order was becoming too militaristic during the early years of the Clone Wars. He left the Order to follow his teacher, Sora Bulq, to Ruul in protest of the Jedi's participation in the war. Rhad was a hot-tempered youth who openly declared that the Jedi should have joined the Separatists, since the Old Republic had become too corrupt and self-centered. When Asajj Ventress killed Mira, and said that she had been hired by Mace Windu himself to destroy Master Bulq, Rhad immediately demanded that Windu be held accountable for her death. He set out to capture both Windu and Ventress, but was intercepted by Ventress near her ship. In a brief lightsaber duel, Ventress nearly succeeded in drawing Rhad over to the Dark Side of the Force. His determination to prove himself flared into anger at the Jedi Order for holding him back, and he openly opposed the efforts of Jeisel and K'kruhk to return him to their cause. In a heated lightsaber battle, Tarn nearly killed Jeisel, but she managed to get her own lightsaber between them as he charged. Tarn was killed instantly. (OWS, J1)

Tarn, Rhad
This student of the Force was among the many young children who were being trained at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant when the Battle of Naboo occurred. Unfortunately, Rhad died shortly afterward. (YDR)

Tarn, Wexlann
Known as a gentleman among bounty hunters, Tarn was the child of a wealthy family. He loved fine art, and used his position as a bounty hunter as a way to gather expensive artworks for his own collection. The fees he collects all go toward the purchase of new pieces. (GG10)

Tarnab
Native to the planet Tarnab, this humanoid alien race was characterized by its triangular skull. At the lower point was the tapir-like snout; at the temples were four short horns. The mysterious blue eyes of the Tarnab people gave them a fearsome appearance, and their scraggly hair only added to the apparent danger. (OWS, CHRN2)

Tarnab
This remote planet was the homeworld of the Tarnab race. (CHRN2)

Tarnese
This was the blood cry of Clan Tarnese. Both e's in the word have long vowel sounds. (MBS)

Tarnis
This Duros starship captain was one of the multitude of beings who became Joiners, after they were drawn into the Colony some five years after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He made regular delivery runs for the Horoh nest in his starship, the Starsong. (DN1)

Tarnished Blades
This pirate gang was formed from the survivors of the Silent Blades group, which was routed by Vocis Kenit and the Far Orbit before its crew mutinied. They were led by Shel Marcino, who decided to help the Far Orbit out, especially if it meant getting a chance to strike back at Vocis Kenit. (FOP)

Tarnith Station
This space station was maintained in the Outer Rim Territories by the Old Republic, during the era of the Great Sith War. Tarnith Station served as a front-line observation platform during the Mandalorian Wars, allowing both the Republic's military advisors and members of the news media to monitor the situation on the battlefront. (KOR1)

Tarnogg
This predatory creature, distinguished by its ravenous appetite, was once native to the planet Barab I. Tarnoggs were known to attack Barabel dens, especially when other sources of food were scarce, prompting the Barabels to kept shartuuks near their lairs for protection. (FJ3)

Tarnoonga
This water-covered planet was the primary world of the Tarnoonga System. The pirate base of Gir Kybo Ren-Cha was located on this planet, during the early years of the New Order. (DCAR)

Tarnoonga System
This system was the base of operations for Gir Kybo Ren-Cha's pirate band. (DCAR)

Tarok Detention Center
This Imperial prison facility was located on the planet Bacrana. (FBS)

Tarong
An avian race evolved from the continual cross-breeding of two avian species once native to the Epidimi System. When the Old Republic discovered the system, they found the two species - living on the planets Iri and Disim - were genetically similar, and members from both were transported to the other planet. This simple experiment, over the millenia, had led the to extinction of the two original species and the 'birth' of the Tarong race. The average Tarong was a massive, winged quadriped, with a wingspan averaging around twenty meters. They have tough, leathery skin and long, hooked beaks. Young Tarongs were lighter in color than their older counterparts. Their front feet were almost as useful as hands, and were used to manipulate objects. Their rear feet were incredibly strong, and used for climbing and grasping. They were highly intelligent, and can master languages quickly. They were also very curious and friendly, wanting to learn everything about the beings they meet and considering them friends until they do something to harm the Tarong or its family. If the stranger acts violently, the Tarong will often capture them and carry them off to some remote location to die of exposure. Tarongs do not like physical violence, and will only hunt and kill for food. They live in tribes based on family relations, with the oldest member of the family in control of the tribe. They have a primitive technology of their own, but were extremely curious about the strange devices they found used by the rest of the galaxy. The more a device sparkles or blinks, the more attractive it was to a Tarong. (GG12)

Taroon
This young Rutanian boy was King Frane's second son, being just a year younger than his brother Leed. While Leed was away on Senali, Taroon was virtually ignored by his father, who failed to see that Taroon was growing into manhood with many of his father's traits. Chief among those traits was a short temper, and Taroon came to resent his father. When Frane called in Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to mediate the dispute over Leed, Taroon was allowed to accompany the Jedi to Senali. In a bold move to gain his father's attention, Taroon arranged to have Leed kidnapped, using Rutanian friends who were disguised as Senali to capture his brother. Taroon hoped to have Leed removed as heir-presumptive and take his place as the future king of Rutan. However, Taroon's plans were discovered by the Jedi, who arranged a meeting with King Frane to sort the matter out. Once Frane realized that Leed had made his own decisions, and that Taroon was more than just a "second son," he softened his position. When Leed decided to remain on Rutan to assume his rightful position as heir, Taroon again became angry, and tried to sabotage his father's hunting dogs and frame Leed for the act. When he learned that Drenna had remained on Rutan and was part of the hunting party, Taroon helped the two Jedi destroy the sabotaged seeker droids and restore peace. King Frane was forced to agree that Taroon would make a better leader than Leed, and agreed to allow Leed to return to Senali, while helping Taroon learn everything about rulership on Rutan. Frane even suggested that Taroon consider Drenna for his Queen, after seeing the girl's tenacity and strength. (SP)

Taroon
This was a city found on the planet Kuan. (TIEP)

Taroon System
This planetary system contained the habitable worlds of Kuan and Bordal. The Taroon System was subjugated by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. (TSC)

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

Tarpals, Roos
This Gungan warrior served Boss Nass as a Captain of the guard. A former criminal and thief, Tarpals later volunteered to join the Gungan Grand Army, where he was known for his physical skills, and regularly placed in the top ten positions in the Big Nasty Free-For-All. It was during his career as a thief that he first met Jar Jar Bink, and took the clumsy Gungan under his wing. Their friendship was cut short when Tarpals enlisted, however. Tarpals patrolled the city of Otoh Gunga, keeping the city safe and under control. When Jar Jar Binks returned from exile, Tarpals was forced to bring the outcast before Boss Nass. Much later, when Jar Jar brought Queen Amidala before Boss Nass, Tarpals was surprised to discover that the Gungan leader had promoted Jar Jar to the rank of General. Like many of the other army officers, Tarpals questioned Jar Jar's abilities but not Boss Nass's decision. In the Battle of Naboo, Tarpals followed General Ceel and helped lead the Gungan army against the Trade Federation's droid armies, and maintained the tide of the battle until the droids managed to destroy the Gungan shields. The battle was nearly lost until Anakin Skywalker disabled the droid control ship. With the droids powerless and adrift, Tarpals and Jar Jar quickly rounded up the automatons and took control of the battlefield. (E1, E1N, E1A10, NEGC)

Tarpaulin Plant
Native to the planet Altor 14, these plants collect water by unique means. During the hot day, they appear to be large balls of green cloth. As needed, a number of broad leaves can be spread out to collect sunlight for photosynthesis. At night, the main ball of the planet unfolds to cover up to 1,000 square meters of ground. The plant simply allows moisture to condense on its leaves, funnelling it back to the center of the planet for storage. (GG4)

Tarpilan, Jun
This man served the naval forces of the Galactic Alliance as a Captain, during the years following the Swarm War. Captain Tarpilan was one of many commanders who participated in the Second Battle of Fondor, where he fell under the influence of the battle mind that was created by Jacen Solo. Contrary to his normal demeanor, Captain Tarpilan began swearing vehemently while issuing his orders, giving Admiral Cha Niathal reason to believe that he was drunk while on duty, since she was unaware of the battle meld. (LF8)

Tarpoon
This heavy, long-shafted spear was a tradition Whiphid weapon. The tarpoon was tipped with a wicked, three-tined blade, and was attached to a length of syntherope. It could be thrown at a target, and the wielder could then retrieve their prey by haulig back on the rope. Many Whiphids have been dragged around by their preyfor several minutes before it tired, in an event which became known as "riding the prey." (SPG)

Tarquinas
This Lambda-class shuttle was believed to have been assigned to the first Death Star's contingent of starships. (IANH)

Tarrack
An alien race. (SOL)

Tarracus, Bonic
A native of Coruscant, Tarracus was old enough to witness the downfall of the Old Republic and the rise of the New Order. Bonic joined the Alliance as an undercover agent, and he was known for his ability to disguise himself as virtually any other person. He used this skill to infiltrate several Imperial events on various Core Worlds, gathering information to return to the Alliance. However, he remained anonymous to much of the Alliance he supported, acting only as the agent codenamed Corewatch. (CRO)

Tarrak, Ali
This pirate was able to steal several TIE Defenders from the Empire in the Yrrna System. (TIE)

Tarrance, Major
This man was one of the galaxy's greatest swoopduelists, during the era of the Mandalorian Wars. (KOR13)

Tarrek
This Doctor served the Alliance as the chief medic at Eyrie Base, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ10)

Tarrek
This was a Velabri god. (SWJ12)

Tarrek's Eyes
This expletive was used by the Velabri, in situations of extreme amazement, and referred to the eyes of the god Tarrek. (SWJ12)

Tarrens, Drigor
This man was once a member of the Qektoth Confederation, but disagreed with the way the group's motives were twisted from research to domination. He fled the confederation and received asylum on Uukaablis. Born on a colony near near the Kathol Rift, he remained silent about his defection from the confederation. Drigor was distinguished by the cybernetic replacement in his left eye, the cause of which was related to his history with the Confederation. About ten years before the FarStar found him on Uukaablis, he had learned that the Confederation was growing clones of its employees with enhanced abilities. Much of this work was shrouded in heavy security, and was performed without the knowledge of the employees. When Tarrens tried to tell the other members of this, his Y-Wing was destroyed. His body was recovered and repaired by the scientists involved, and Tarrens was sentenced to death by the Confederation's leadership. It was then that he fled to Uukaablis. The silvery eye stared straight ahead, no matter what direction Tarrens was looking. Tarrens agreed to help the crew of the FarStar expose the Confederation and obtain the cure for the biological weapon that had been contracted by much of its crew, shortly after realizing that he himself was infected.

Tarris 800 Cables
This line of mini-cables can be used in place of a hardware scomp link. Tarris 800 cables can be used to modify a blaster to fire twice with each pull of the trigger. By connecting the cable between the V-4 plug and the trigger adaptor, a feedback loop can be created to send two pulses to the apas connectors, thereby opening the Heter valve twice. (CFG)

Tarro
This alien race originated in the Til system, on the planet Tililix. When the Til star exploded, the planet Tililix was destroyed. Only those Tarro off-planet at the time survived. An estimated 350 Tarro exist in the galaxy, all of them descendants of the Tarro who had survived the destruction of Tililix. The Tarro were a humanoid race characterized by their dark green skin and piercing yellow eyes. They have seven fingers on each hand, and were heavily muscled. They were formidable fighters and weapons-masters, and were known for their stubborn, independent natures. Little was known of their history and culture, given the cataclysmic reduction of their species. (GG12)

Tarson, Ved
This young man was one of the many rebels who did whatever they could to hamper the advances of the Empire, during the years leading up to the Galactic Civil War. Ved and his younger brother, Wyl, operated as part of a group of zone runners, hoping to disable or eliminate juggernauts and other Imperial ground vehicles. Using their speed and agility, they dashed in between Imperial convoys and placed explosives on the vehicles, escaping just before the detonation ripped the vehicles apart. While effective, zone runners were often at the mercy of their equipment. Ved's suppliers often provided flaky or substandard explosives, which had to be handled with care.

During one mission, a companion's backback of explosives started to leak, setting off a tremendous explosion. Although Wyl was thrown clear and managed to escape, Ved was badly injured, and his companion died in the blast. Wyl dragged his brother's body to safety, and was relieved when Ved regained consciousness. Despite this harrowing experience, Ved wanted to get back to the mission to destroy the juggernauts. Wyl didn't understand his brother's commitment to the rebels until he met Dunlan on Ahakista, many years later. It was on Ahakista that Wyl remembered bein too scared to follow Ved back into the midst of the Juggernauts, and he also remembered that Ved was shot and killed in the attempt. This memory gave Wyl the strength to finally resist Raze's influence, even if it cost him his life. (SWRAG)

Tarson, Wyl
This dark-skinned man, distinguished by the curving tattoo that covered his left shoulder, worked as an information broker for the noted gangster Raze, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. As a youth, Wyl tagged along with his brother Ved, who was one of the early insurrectionists who struggled to hamper the Empire's efforts in subkugating the galaxy. The brothers were part of a team of zone runners, working to destroy Imperial tanks. However, they were using explosives of questionable quality, and a leaky chemical cylinder resulted in Ved's death when it set off an explosion. Although Wyl remained loyal to his brother's ideals, he found that he could not fight the Empire directly anymore. Rather than joining the Alliance, he decided to use his contacts and skills as an information broker. Tarson's primary role in Raze's organization was to monitor communications that eminated from within the Empire. While Tarson was good at what he did, he nonetheless missed the transmission sent from Janek Sunber to Luke Skywalker, about a year after the Battle of Yavin. Raze was only briefly angry, but tasked Tarson with tracking down information about both Sunber and Skywalker.

Unknown to Raze, Tarson was secretly working for the Alliance, going by the codename Casino as part of Tungo Li's growing network of spies and informants. In this role, Tarson was able to relay any information gathered about the Empire to his Alliance contacts. The immense gangster managed to discover Tarson's duplicity, but was equally happy to have the information on Sunber's transmission. Raze didn't let Tarson off the hook, however, and set his own plans in motion to send Tarson on a dangerous mission. In order to ensure Tarson's cooperation, Raze implanted a device in his skull that was combination trasnceiver and explosive. Raze could communicate with Tarson in a way that only Tarson could hear, and threatened to set off the explosive if he didn't travel to Ahakista.

Although Wyl tried to escape, he was intercepted by Laynara and tranported back to the crimelord's den on Per Lupelo. There, he gave both of them a mission to meet with Sardoth on Ahakista, a mission for which Wyl recruited Baro Par and Darca Nyl. Even though he knew Raze was untrustworthy, Wyl was still shocked when their arrival at Ahakista was met by an Imperial blockade force that quickly apprehended their ship. They managed to avoid a prolonged delay, and were able to reach the surface and infiltrate The Hub, but Baco Par was shot while trying to open the main blast doors. He sacrificed his life so that Wyl and Laynara could get into The Hub alone, where Laynara then refused to set a communications interceptor in place that would have provided Raze with a way to tap into the transmissions of The Hub. Raze activated the device in Wyl's head, causing him intense pain, until Laynara threatened to destroy the interceptor. Raze was forced to turn off the device, but the delay allowed a team of stormtroopers locate them. Laynara was shot and wounded, and her interceptor was damaged, leaving Raze with no choice but to trust Wyl to complete the mission.

However, with Laynara injured and Baco Par already dead, Wyl finally realized that he had nothing more to live for. Memories of his brother's death flooded back into his mind, and Wyl chose not to let his fears get in the way of doing what was right. He refused to finish the mission, and Raze set off the device in his head. Wyl planned to die, knowing that he had finally done something meaningful for someone else. Thus, he was surprised to regain consciousness, only to learn that Darth Vader himself had shut off the implant in time to save his life. Wyl then agreed to tell Vader everything he knew about Raze's operations, if the Dark Lord would space Laynara's life and permanently deactivate the implant. When Vader agreed to the deal, Wyl gave him the information he needed to destroy Raze's operations on Per Lupelo. Vader also ensured that Wyl got the communications interceptor working again, and left it operative when he left the planet.

Vader later took advantage of Wyls' connections to the Rebel Alliance, using him to plant information about a "secret Imperial weapon" that had been abandoned on a remote moon. (SWRMB, SWI93, SWRAG, SWRV)

Tarsunt System
The planetary system which was a stopover point for Jabba the Hutt when he moved to Tatooine. It was also where Grizzid obtained the rancor from Grendu. (MTS, TJP)

Tartan-class Patrol Cruiser
This 600-meter-long vessel was produced by the Damorian Manufacturing Corporation, on contract to the Empire during the years following the Clone Wars, as a capital ship that could perform deep-space patrol missions and track down pirates and rebel agents who were using smaller, more maneuverable vessels. The idea was to give the Imperial Navy a ship that was capable of suppressing any illegal activity in the farther reaches of the galaxy, freeing up the larger Star Destroyers to perform their own missions of subjugation and control. Armed with twenty laser cannons, the Tartan-class was initially given poor marks, when its sensor systems were unable to accurately track and monitor the movements of multiple targets at once. This required an expensive upgrade to the tracking and targetting systems to bring the ship to its intended level of operation. The primary drawback to this upgrade was the energy distribution system that linked the computers to the laser cannons, as it drained incredible amounts of power, thereby reducing the amount of energy that could be shunted to the ship's shields. Thus, commanders of Tartan-class vessels learned to take advantage of its maneuverability and speed, keeping any vulnerable points out of enemy fire while ensuring the enemy didn't escape into hyperspace. (SWDB)

Tartapple
This silver-skinned fruit was once harvested on the planet Caamas. Distinguished by its silvery skin, tartapples were a favored fruit among the Caamasi people. Tartapple orchards were found in the Kanupian region of Caamas, until the Empire attacked the planet during the early months of the New Order. Much of Kanupian was leveled, and the tartapple orchards were destroyed. (CN2)

Tartapple
This fruit-bearing tree was once native to the planet Caamas. Tartapple trees were grown by the Caamasi people in large orchards, and their fruit was harvested each fall. Tartapple trees were distinguished by their glossy leaves and their silvery fruit. Most, if not all, of the tartapple orchards were destroyed in the Imperial attack on Caamas, shortly after the end of the Clone Wars, when the rolling hills of Kanupian were leveled by bombs and explosives. (CN2)

Tarturi, Berm
This man was Andara's Senator to the Old Republic, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Senator Tarturi struggled to maintain his position as the Andaran System's Senator, facing increasingly stronger opposition from Rana Halion and the populace of Ieria. He even made an enemy in Sano Sauro, when they argued vehemently for the rights to certain profitable trade routes. It was during this time that he spent more and more time on Coruscant, leaving his son Gillam to an education at the Leadership School. When Gillam disappeared, Senator Tarturi feared that he had been kidnapped as part of a plan to force Tarturi to recognize Ieria's independence. Senator Tarturi requested the assistance of the Jedi Knights in locating his son. (JQ5)

Tarturi, Gillam
This young man was the son of Senator Berm Tarturi of Andara, and attended the Leadership School on Andara during the years following the Battle of Naboo. An only child, Gillam found himself alone after the death of his mother when he was twelve. With his father being called to Coruscant on politics, Gillam's only family was at the Leadership School. Five years after the Battle of Naboo, the sixteen-year-old Gillam suddenly disappeared from the school, prompting his father to request an investigation by the Jedi Knights. Obi-Wan Kenobi was appointed to lead the mission, and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker was enrolled in the Leadership School to locate Gillam's friends. Anakin discovered that Gillam was actually the leader of a small band of students who were working as mercenaries in neighboring systems, causing public unrest and forcing "oppressive" leaders to abdicate their rule. It was Gillam who formed the team and recruited its members, although Rolai Frac assumed the role of leader after Gillam's "kidnapping." When Rana Halion employed the young mercenaries to strafe an Andaran military landing platform, as part of a plan to force Berm Tarturi to negotiate, Gillam gladly accepted. Unknown to Halion, however, Gillam planned to use live fire in the mission, as way to have himself "killed." He planned to ensure that Anakin Skywalker was killed in the mission, damaging the body enough so that it could pass as Gillam. Gillam then put plans in place to pin the blame for his kidnapping and death on his own father, Berm Tarturi, to ensure that Berm was discredited and stripped of any power he held. When the plans were exposed by the Jedi Knights, Gillam and his entire team were expelled from the Leadership School and transported to Coruscant for questioning. (JQ5)

Tartuta
This vicious, Dug bounty hunter was part of the group hired by Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader to hunt down Sagoro Autem, during the months following the Clone Wars. Tartuta was able to locate Autem at the same time as the Shistavenan hunter Severian, but rather than capturing Autem, the pair fought amongst themselves. Tartuta managed to sever Severian's right hand in their struggle, and Severian was forced to retreat and get medical attention. This allowed Tartuta to confront Autem on his own. They fought briefly, and just when Tartuta managed to gain the upper hand, he was shot and killed by a hidden assailant. Autem silently thanked the killing blast, unaware that it came from Evan Hessler. (RL)

Taru
This Nagai warrior was one of many who trained under Lumiya on the planet Kinooine, during the months following the Battle of Endor. (MC96)

Tarul Wine
This was a popular wine that was vinted on the planet Naboo, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The origins of tarul wine went back several millennia. (RCHC, DBRT)

Tarula
This Dug worked for Ballon, on the planet Byrsym, during the months that followed the end of the Clone Wars. Where Sskal was more of a bodyguard, Tarula was a spy, and was often seen at Emthuul's having a drink, all the while keeping an eye on any being who tried to get near Ballon. When Ballon was apprehended by Imperial security forces, Tarula managed to avoid capture by hiding out in a back room at Emthuul's. When the group of freelance operatives who accompanied Nib Nubbu returned to Emthuul's, Tarula eventually agreed to help them locate Prince Torrin. Although he was outwardly loyal to Ballon, Tarula was eager to avoid being caught by the Imperial authorities. (FR)

Tarwood
This dense hardwood tree was harvested for its wood, which was often stained with dark varnishes and stains to enhance the natural beauty of its grain. (LF8)

Taryn
This Hapan woman and her twin sister, Trista, were dispatched to meet Ben Skywalker on Nova Station, after he escaped from Tahiri Veila on Coruscant, several weeks after the Battle of Fondor. They had been told to meet Ben at the Big Boom cantina, where he would be drinking a Sapphire Fogblaster. The only way Ben could tell them apart was their synthatex jumpsuits, because Taryn wore one that was gold in color. Ben found their faces familiar, and later learned that the twins were the cousins of Tenel Ka. Ben also learned that Taryn was the younger sibling, having been born five minutes after Trista.

Although the sisters managed to get Ben away from Nova Station, they were unable to make their rendezvous with Prince Isolder aboard the Beam Racer, which was captured by Tahiri Veila and the Anakin Solo. Trista and Taryn continued on their mission to return Ben to Shedu Maad, but brought news of Isolder's capture to the Queen Mother. Their chance for worrying about his safety was shortened when Darth Caedus discovered that the Jedi were on Shedu Maad, and launched an attack to trap them there and destroy them. Ben, Trista, and Taryn were placed in charge of evacuating the younglings from the Jedi base, before returning to defend the remaining Jedi from attack.

On Shedu Maad, they learned of the Imperial attack on the Dragon Queen and the use of a nanokiller to kill the royal family, and came to the conclusion that Ducha Requud had assisted the Imperials in exchange for the chance to assume the role of Queen Mother. After learning that the Ducha had been killed aboard the Deserving Gem, they learned that General Livette had been in league with the Ducha, and had helped the Imperials land an assault force on the planet. Taryn and Ben Skywalker set out with a group of Her Majesty's Commandos to confront the Imperials, while Trista remained behind to ensure Livette couldn't cause any more trouble. (LF9)

Ta's Roost
This cantina was owned by the Sullustan Sevron Ta, and was located in the city of Gallisport, on Shesharile 5. Sevron Ta made sure that there was always a table ready for the Rabid Mynocks, who were the cantina's unofficial protectors. (SWJ6)

Tas Sea
This was one of the many bodies of salt water found on the planet Ralltiir. It was in the middle of the Tas Sea, atop a rocky outcropping, that Alexi Garyn established his base of operations. (CCW)

Tasar Crystals
These colorful stones held religious meaning to the ancient Tasari people. These beautiful stones were formed in the cataclysmic meteor shower that nearly destroyed the planet Tasariq, and refined in the volcanic upheaval that continued for many decades. Ritual blood sacrifices were made to the crystals, in the hopes of unlocking their mystical potential. The Tasari also believed that these sacrifices would appease the dark gods who rained meteors down on the planet Tasariq, causing massive destruction and relegating the Tasari to a primitive existence. Modern Tasari have abandoned the practice of ritual sacrifice, but pockets of believers still exist in the power of the crystals. Tasar crystals were found in a variety of colors and patterns, and all were believed to have some form of magical or healing powers. They were valued throughout the galaxy, and many Tasari families sold their crystals in order to survive. (AE, SWJ15)

Tasari
This species of hairless humanoids was native to the planet Tasariq. Their faces were bird-like in structure, with a beak-like nose and feathery crests on the back of their skulls. They can live to be 120 years of age, and were known to be inquisitive and minded. Many centuries ago, the Tasari had a flourishing society, until a meteor shower rained down from the skies and destroyed much of the planet's surface. The Tasari were forced to revert to a primitive existence, finding shelter in the craters formed by the meteor impacts, and many blood cults rose from the ashes. These cults enacted blood sacrifices to tasar crystals in order to appease the dark gods who destroyed the planet. Over the next several hundred years, these cults died out, but pockets of believers still exist. In general, Tasari were friendly and outgoing, with a curiosity and openmindedness that allowed them to accept their place in the galaxy and explore beyond their borders. During the New Order, the Tasari had developed an industrial society, but could use more modern technology with relative ease. (AE, SWJ15)

Tasari Crossbow
His simple missile weapon was favored by the blood cults of the Tasari. Each of these crossbows was hand-built at the time when a yougn Tasari earned the right to become an adult. (SWJ15)

Tasariq
This planet was the second planet in the Tasar System, and the homeworld of the Tasari race. Once a temperate world, Tasariq was bombarded many centuries before the Battle of Yavin by a meteor shower. The planet was pummeled, and much of its surface was destroyed. The resulting destruction of the surface created a large amount of chemicals in the atmosphere, rendering it barely breathable. Craters and gouges now dominate its landscape, but it was within these craters that breathable air was trapped, allowing the Tasari to build cities within the craters and survive the holocaust. In the midst of the destruction brought on by the meteors, the heat and volcanic activity combined to form Tasar Crystals out of the materials of the planet's crust. By the era of the Empire, Tasariq became known as the Planet of Crystal. (AE, SWJ15)

Tasariq City
This was the largest settlement on the planet Tasariq. It was established by the Empire, when the planet was first explored. Its layout was in the form of concentric circles, with Circle Park in the center. The Park was surrounded by the Shopper's Round, the governmental and administrative circle, then the living circle. (AE, SWJ15)

Tasariq Rangers
Originally formed by Imperial Governor Dem Keval, this was a mercenary police force used to maintain control of the Tasar System during the Galactic Civil War. Governor Keval was given little in the way of resources to keep the system in line, so he hired a group of Iotran mercenaries to patrol the system. He named the group the Tasariq Rangers to give them a measure of legitimacy. (SWJ15)

Tasariq University
Located near the center of Tasariq City, on the planet Tasariq, this university brought in the some of the best off-world instructors to educate Tasari students. (SWJ15)

TasCorp
This corporation produced a variety of explosives and detonation devices for use by the mining industry, during the height of the New Order. (SWJ15)

Taselda
This given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Taselda
This ageless woman was among the first Jedi to come to the planet Nam Chorios. She claimed to have been sent to the planet at the behest of her Jedi Master, but it was believed that she and Beldorian went to the planet in hopes of finding some gift that would allow them to more fully use the Force. She was appalled at the living conditions she found, and remained on the planet as something of a leader to the Oldtimers. She kept order in Hweg Shul some 200 years before Callista arrived. When the Hutt Beldorian came to Nam Chorios, Taselda recognized his failures with the Force, and tried to keep him from gaining power. However, the Hutt prevailed, and in the battle her lightsaber was lost. She sustained numerous injuries in the fight, and found herself unable to create another lightsaber. When Callista arrived on the planet, Taselda used her desire to regain the Force as a fulcrum, and manipulated Callista. She hoped to used Callista to recover her lost lightsaber from Beldorian, but the young woman was overcome by the Hutt's augmented power. Later, Taselda tried to ensnare Luke Skywalker the same way, but he defeated her. (POT)

Ta'Sen
This was a noted member of the Tarasin race. (LFC)

Taser Staff
This short club was used by crowd and riot control squadrons. It was balanced and weighted on each end, and delivered an intense electrical shock when it contacted bare skin.

Tasha, Salje'
This female Anzat, distinguished by her silver-white hair and piercing green eyes, was a noted assassin who worked for a variety of clients during the final years of the Old Republic. Her specialty was in political jobs, and she was known to be very picky when it came to her clientele. During the Clone Wars, she was hired by a mysterious agent who provided her with all manner of unusual equipment, including cortosis gauntlets. After she was tracked down by Quinlan Vos, Salje' Tasha revealed that she had been the one who arranged for the murder of former Chancellor Finis Valorum. She then tried to feed from Quinlan's "soup," but the Jedi had other ideas. He used a talent he had learned from Count Dooku - an augmentation to his natural ability to read an object - to learn that it had been Sora Bulq who hired her for the job. Salje' nearly killed Quinlan for taking the knowledge, but Khaleen Hentz stopped her before she could do it. (RT)

Ta'Shal
This Tarasin served as the baron-administrator of the Bollin city-platform, on the planet Cularin, during the era of the Battle of Naboo. (LFC)

The last sponsored mission, supported by a Jedi Master, eventually reached the planet Naboo. (GB)

Tasin
This Nalroni trader was employed by the Jatayus Trading Consortium during the height of the Galactic Civil War, and eventually took over as JTC's leader when Sprax joined Black Sun. She remained close to Sprax, to share information and to acquire business for JTC. She also maintained a low-key relationship with Sprax, although it was nothing more than friendship. (SSR)

Tasion, Wink
This man was a contemporary of Alex Winger, and actually attended classes with her at the local university, during the early years of the New Republic. He almost shot her when they first encountered each other at the underground headquarters of the Imperial resistance on Garos IV, since Wink knew that she was the daughter of the Imperial Governor. The event became a standing joke between the two, who used their pointed fingers to simulate blasters whenever they met. Wink served as a communications technician during the rebellion against the Imperial government on Garos IV. (SWJ2)

Tasjon
This was one of the largest cities found on the planet Corulag, and was the site of an important swoop race during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN5)

Task Force Apex
This New Republic Fourth Battle Group fleet was assigned to assist the Fifth Battle Group during the blockade of the Koornacht Cluster, in an attempt to limit the advance of the Yevetha. It was under the command of Commodore Farley Carson.

(SOL, TT)

Task Force Aster
This division of the Fifth Battle Group was stationed near Doornik-319 during the New Republic's blockade of the Koornacht Cluster. They were in place for the contingency that the Yevetha resisted the blockade of the system. Task Force Aster waited above the plane of the system, complimenting the position of Task Force Blackvine. There were 18 ships in this grouping, commanded by Commodore Brand. They were under orders to wait for a command from Etahn A'baht. (SOL)

Task Force Bantha
This was the codename given to the convoy of freighters and transports led by Booster Terrik that accompanied Rogue Squadron to Qretu 5. Once the Rogues had eliminated any defenses, the Banthas left bacta facility Q5A7 with as much bacta as their holds could contain. (BW)

Task Force Keyhole
This was one of the first New Republic Navy fleets given free reign to attack N'zoth, during the final battle of the Black Fleet Crisis. (TT)

Task Force Pest
This was one of two Thaereian task forces assembled by Colonel Rast'Tul to harass starship traffic in the Cularin System, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. The ships in this task force, as well as those in Task Force Vermin, were to be indistinguishable from pirates or other criminal vessels, with the intention of causing chaos in the space near Cularin. The goal of forming these task forces was to give the Thaereian leadership a reason to increase its presence in the Cularin System, in order to put and end to such "criminal" activity.

Task Force Pest was placed under the command of Lieutenant Dalin. Among his other duties, Lieutenant Dalin was to round up and non-Jedi who showed an aptitude for, or sensitivity to, the Force. Those beings who were discovered to have little sensitivity were sent to prison as rebels, while those with more control were sent to special laboratories and put to use testing drugs and specialized medical procedures. Among those he arrested was Borus Ferthyn, who was executed by Dalin in an attempt to quell the growing rebellion in Gadrin. The execution only led to more rioting, forcing Dalin to take other measures. (NET1)

Task Force Quickfire
This New Republic grouping was part of the Third Fleet. It was the first task force to receive K-Wing bombers. (BTS)

Task Force Shen
This top-secret Alliance Special Forces unit was called upon to execute elite, silent missions throughout the Mid Rim during the Galactic Civil War.

Task Force Token
This New Republic Second Battle Group fleet was assigned to assist the Fifth Battle Group during the blockade of the Koornacht Cluster, in an attempt to limit the advance of the Yevetha. It was placed under the command of Admiral Tolokus. Token was one of the last groups to join the Battle of N'zoth, only because Sil Sorannan's Camp Pa'aal Squadron stole most of the Yevethan fleet and took it back to the Deep Core. (SOL, TT)

Task Force Vermin
This was one of two Thaereian task forces assembled by Colonel Rast'Tul to harass starship traffic in the Cularin System, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. The ships in this task force, as well as those in Task Force Pest, were to be indistinguishable from pirates or other criminal vessels, with the intention of causing chaos in the space near Cularin. The goal of forming these task forces was to give the Thaereian leadership a reason to increase its presence in the Cularin System, in order to put and end to such "criminal" activity.

Additionally, Task Force Vermin was ordered to capture or arrest any Force-sensitive children they encountered, as part of another Thaereian plot. In order to ensure the task force's success, Colonel Rast'Tul assumed leadership of Task Force Vermin, turning over Task Force Pest to Lieutenant Dalin. (NET1, NET2)

Taskeed
This city was the site of Yefowr's largest spaceport. It was surrounded by the deserts of the Wasted Plains. (SWJ14)

Taskeen, Tyr
This man, a native of Alderaan, was a successful businessman when the New Order was instituted. He was a skilled pilot and negotiator, learning these trades while running his own starship dealership. Taskeen's small operation was nationalized by the Empire, though, and his fortunes were confiscated. Those non-human employees he had were enslaved, and Taskeen found himself back on Alderaan. Once there, he joined the forces of the Alliance and used his knowledge of the Outer Rim to help transport refugees to safeworlds beyond the Empire's control. His hard work and dedication earned him a swift promotion to General within the Alliance, shortly before the destruction of his homeworld. (FC)

Taskelor, Wec
This was the name of a noted Thakwaash individual. (UANT)

Taskmaster Gauss
This powerful blaster rifle was produced during the final years of the Old Republic. It was available with a bio-link connection, giving the wielder more control over the weapon's power and accuracy. (SWGAL)

Tas-La
This planet was located in the Si'Klaata Cluster. (SSR)

Taspan
This star was the central body in the Taspan System, which was located in the Inner Rim region of the galaxy, near the Hydian Way. During the Battle of Mindor, Taspan was hit with a huge number of asteroids and planetary debris that had been left over from the Big Crush. Lord Shadowspawn's Imperial forces placed gravity stations on thousands of these asteroids, in preparation for defending Mindor from a New Republic attack. Once the fighting started, the gravity stations were activated, causing the asteroids to move around in unpredictable paths. Many asteroids, with and without attached gravity stations, were drawn into Taspan's gravity field and plunged into its photosphere. The normal asteroids created explosions and solar flare on Taspan's surface, each of which sent radiation energy spewing from the star. Those asteroids with gravity stations caused strange tidal fluctuations on Taspan's surface when the gravity station exploded, adding power to their coronal flares they created and altering the star's magnetic fields. This served to focus the ejected radiation energy along the field lines, sending it hurtling in random directions. This series of explosions and flares continued to destabilize Taspan's chemical balance, and the radiation that streamed from the star scoured the surrounding system. What was left of Mindor and Taspan II was stripped of life, leaving the Taspan System a barren wasteland. (LSSM)

Taspan I
This was the official name of the planet Mindor, indicating its position as the innermost world in the Taspan System. (LSSM)

Taspan II
This planet was the second, and outermost, world in the Taspan System. The Empire had established a wepaons research facility on the planet, during the height of the New Order. In an event that became known as the Big Crush, Taspan II was torn apart, and its remains were strewn throughout the outer regions of the system. A few pieces of rubble were thrown toward the center of the system, and many of these were captured by Mindor's gravity, creating a screen of artificial satellites that moved in erratic orbits. Luke Skywalker later discovered that the Melters of the planet Mindor were actually made up of energy-based beings what were once native to Taspan II. These creatures had lived there for countless millennia, in the meltmassif that was once found on the planet. The destruction of Taspan II gave the Melters a chance to experience life beyond their world, although the meltmassif that landed on Mindor was brought under the control of Lord Cronal. In the wake of the Battle of Mindor, the remains of Taspan II were scoured with the stellar radiation spewing forth from Taspan, and any organic life that might have existed in the asteroids was eradicated. (LSSM)

Taspan System
This star system was located in the galaxy's Inner Rim, just off the Hydian Way. However, navigating to the system was difficult because it was located in one of the Inner Rim's most concentrated areas. The nearby star systems created all manner of gravity shadows in hyperspace, forcing starships bound for Taspan to executed a complex and jagged series of six short hyperspace jumps to a point less than two light-years from Taspan. The Taspan System was the site of the event that became known as the Big Crush, when Taspan II was wiped out in a cataclysmic event. The system's other planet, designated as Taspan I but referred to as Mindor, was spared the destruction. The loss of Taspan II left the outer regions of the system strewn with asteroids and other debris. This proved to be of great benefit to Lord Shadowspawn, when the Imperial warlord established his base of operations on Mindor. Using the asteroids as a screen, Shadowspawn was able to defend Mindor with nothing more than starfighters. To defend against larger capital ships, Shadowspawn lined the asteroid field with gravity-well projectors and gravity mines. The gravity-well projectors could trap a starship inside the asteroid belt, while the gravity mines wreaked havoc with ship integrity as well as moved the asteroids around in random paths. However, this tactic meant that Shadowspawn's own forces were trapped in the system as well, a fact that confused the New Republic's military leaders and made them worry about a possible backdoor out of the system. It also meant that large amounts of debris from Taspan II were hurled at the star Taspan, setting off a series of solar flares that spewed intense radiation throughout the system, scouring all life from what remained of Mindor and Taspan II. (LSSM)

Taspir III
This inhospitable planet was once scouted by the Empire as a possible location of a base. Some ten years after the Battle of Endor, the fallen Jedi Rosh Penin sent a distress signal to his one-time friend, Jaden Korr, asking for help. Penin's message indicated that he was being held prisoner on Taspir III. Although Jaden thought the mission was a trap, Kyle Katarn decided that they needed to answer the distress call on the off-chance that Penin was in real trouble. The two Jedi found that the Imperial base was quite operational, and that the Disciples of Ragnos had also taken up residence on the planet. (JKA)

Tasrin
The criminal Kea Ra-Lan was arrested by New Republic forces on this planet. (SWJ10)

Tass
This plant was native to the planet Ruusan, and was one of the handful of species that survived the environmental changes that followed the Battle of Ruusan. The natives of the planet found that powerder tass roots could be mixed with scintil vine flowers and water to create a corrosive paste that could eat through rock and metal. (DBRT)

Tassa
This black-haired, female Codru-Ji was the wife of Rikkar-Du, during the years following the Sith-Imperial War. As the daughter of a clan chief, Tassa allowed Rikkar-Du to hold considerable sway over the other clan leaders. However, when Rikkar-Du suggested that the clans unite to oppose Imperial occupation of Munto Codru, even Tassa's father's support wasn't enough to sway the other leaders. Although she supported her husband, Tassa worried that he lacked the support of enough clan leaders to put his plans into action.

When Rikkar-Du went to the local temple to meditate, Tassa took their son, Jassar, home. Jassar, however, wanted to be with his father, and set off to find him. Unknown to the family was the fact that Kassek-Ka had made a deal with Darth Kruhl, to eliminate Rikkar-Du if he tried to oppose the Sith. As Darth Kruhl killed both Rikkar-Du and Jassar, Kassek-Ka took Tassa's life. (SWLR)

Tasseva, Belar
This was a noted member of Chagrian history. (UANT)

Tassjun, E'koth
This Jedi Master took Ephaan Kenzon as an apprentice, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The two often argued about the role of the Jedi Order in resolving political disputes, with Master Tassjun taking the position of the Jedi Council in restraining from taking a more direct approach to dealing with these disputes. This trend continued until they were dispatched to the Zeemacht Cluster, when Kenzon abandoned the Jedi Order after disobeying Tassjun's orders. (PJSB)

Tassler Knee
This was the name used to describe the younger growth of the tassler tree. These stump-like shoots sprout from the swampy water, providing a food source for many of Naboo's herbivores. (GF)

Tassler Tree
This tall, bushy tree lives in the swamps to Naboo. The leaves of the tassler tree were ground up and mixed with water by the Gungans, who use the mixture as a dye for clothing. (GF)

Tasson
This was an Imperial DX-9 stromtrooper transport, destroyed when the Alliance attacked the Obsidian research platform shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)

Tassu, Nicanas
This long-haired man was one of the many Jedi Knights who were dispatched to Geonosis to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi, at the start of the Clone Wars. Tassu and his partner, Sephjet Josall, provided back-up lightsabers to Obi-Wan and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, during the height of the battle. (SWI77)

Taste Converter
This non-medicinal drug was marketed as a way for travelers to enjoy certain native cuisines, without having to suffer through the unusual spices or flavors that might be preferred by other races. Taste converters were packaged as small tablets that could be taken just prior to a meal, and used specialized chemicals known as Popular Taste Offsets to adjust the taste of food so that it actually tasted like something more palatable. The chemicals in taste converters locked and unlocked a being's tastebuds or taste receptors, creating the sensation of flavor and blocking any sense of flavor from the food being consumed. (GPB)

Tastiged Flu
A highly-contagious disease. (WS)

Tasty Acorn
This Rendili StarDrive LT-9000 Interceptor was owned by Plako. He equipped it with specially-modified ore locators, and discovered the exact location of the legendary Fool's Gold. However, the ship suffered engine damaged which forced Plako to return home and hire out the recovery of the Fool's Gold. The ship was painted light blue with pink lettering. (TSK)

Tat
This was a term used by the natives of Concord Dawn, that literally meant "brother". Because the dialect of Concord Dawn was a distant derivative of Mandalorian, tat was often replaced with vod in general conversation. (TCD, SWI84)

TAT System
Developed by CoMar Combat Systems for the G-003 Tri-Tracker anti-atmospheric gun, the Target Acqusition and Tracking System was a collection of three unique sensor arrays and a dedicated computer system that could lock onto a specific target, track the movements of the target, and then pass information to the C3 Computer for analysis of potential countermeasures. All of this data was then loaded into the firing mechanism of the Tri-Tracker, which could then be fired at its chosen target. This series of sensing and computing operations led to a long down-time between firings of the G-003, since it performed all calculation against new data received after the previous firing. (ISB)

Tatakoz
This Jawa, once considered the master trader of the Jawas that lived in the Mospic High Range region of Tatooine, was generally credited with producing the first of the so-called "ugly droids," more than seventy years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. (NEGD)

Tatarrar
This was one of the largest cities founded by the Ayrou on the planet Vasha. During the early years of the New Republic, it was also the site of the planet's primary spaceport. (GMR9)

Tatch, Kiran
This Tunroth Hunter was a member of the Granse Confederacy. As one of the few Tunroth to survive the Reslian Plague, he eventually achieved the rank of shturlan. Before joining the Granse Confederacy, Kiran Tatch worked as a skip-chaser, and was believed to have been on Jabba the Hutt's list of beings who had a chance to track down Han Solo and Chewbacca. However, Tatch preferred to take larger bounties closer to the Core Worlds, and worked for several prominent Hutt crimelords during the early years of the New Order. He was often teamed with Arcuse while in the employ of Glorga the Hutt, but Tatch grew tired and disdainful of the Hutts. In a daring display of bravado, Tatch spit on Glorga and then left the Hutt's employ, eventually signing on with Callandri just before the Battle of Hoth. (GG12, AIR)

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

Tathis, Orinn
This man was a member of the Council of Elders on Alderaan, during the New Order. When Grand Moff Tarkin used the first Death Star to destroy the planet, Tathis was off-world on business. He returned to the Graveyard of Alderaan to locate the armory ship Another Chance and turn its weapons cache over to the Alliance. He had discovered the location of the remote calling device used to communicate with the armory ship, and planned to draw it back. However, his initial plans were thrown off by Darth Vader's attempt to lure Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker to Alderaan as part of Operation Yavin Kill Two. Tathis hid inside the caves of Asteroid 7785, then gladly assisted the Alliance agents who came to the Graveyard to investigate the possible existence of the Royal Palace of Alderaan. Tathis called the Another Chance back to Alderaan. (GA)

Tati
This temperate world was covered with forests and mountains, and was a favorite destination of tourist who were seeking to go hiking and camping in the pristine wilderness. (LJ4)

Tatium
Lira Wessex's Imperial shuttle, she used it to escape the destruction of the Subjugator. (SF)

Tatoo
This was the official Imperial designation of the binary stars Tatoo I and Tatoo II. (GG7)

Tatoo I
This star was one of Tatooine's twin primary suns. It was described as a G1 type star. (E4N)

Tatoo II
This star was one of Tatooine's twin primary suns. It was described as a G2 type star. (E4N)

Tatoo III
This space station was erected in orbit near Tatooine, just after the colonization of the planet. It was built by the settlers of Tatooine, from metals and ores they were able eke out of the desert. It was destroyed shortly after completion when the Obvious Nirvana suddenly rushed at the station during docking and collided with it. An investigation was launched, and it was discovered that the native Tatooinian metals used to construct the station had unusual magnetic properties. Thus, when the Obvious Nirvana approached it, Tatoo III suddenly became a huge magnet. This change in polarity drew the Obvious Nirvana into the station. This one setback marked the beginning of the hardest years Tatooine had ever seen. (GG7)

Tatoo System
This binary star system contained the planet Tatooine. (GG7, SOT)

Tatooian Fiberplast
This form of fiberplast was favored by doctors and medics, as it could be used to create sterile and anti-microbial containers for medicines. (SWG2P)

Tatooine
This New Republic Mon Calamari cruiser was part of the fleet sent to blockade Almania. Under the command of Wedge Antilles, the Tatooine was destroyed in the battle between the Republic's forces and the starships under the command of the failed Jedi Dolph. (TNR)

Tatooine
The primary planet in the Tatoo system, this desert world was located in the Arkanis Sector of the Outer Rim Territories near Piroket and Ryloth, some 43,000 light-years from the galactic core. It was close enough to a major hyperspace nexus to make it easy to get to such worlds as Coruscant and Corellia, but its environment made it one of the most inhosptiable places in the galaxy. The planet's twin suns mercilessly heated the planet, keeping the sodium-rich deserts alive, and a trio of moons encircled the planet. Note that several sources were unsure exactly how many moons Tatooine has. Some say that the planet had a single, natural satellite, while others indicate two or more. Originally discovered more than 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, Tatooine was believed to have been one of the oldest planets in the galaxy. After its discovery, the planet was colonized in two distinct waves. Much of the original colonization was unable to survive the harsh environment, and only the city of Anchorhead survived until the modern era. About 1,000 years before the rise of the Empire, the Old Republic declared the planet "nominally habitable," but it was nearly 900 years later that the planet was settled again. These modern settlers arrived to colonize this first world in what was then called the J11.9 system. They coined the name Tatooine from the Jawa name for the planet, Tah doo Een e. The settlers established strongholds within the planet's "temperate zone," where surveys showed wind patterns and atmospheric conditions indicated a relatively high concentration of water vapor. Many smugglers and criminals have set up operational bases in its wastelands, beyond the relative civilization of the temperate zone, because Tatooine's remote location allowed it to exist outside the laws of the Old Republic for a long time. Corellia Engineering even tried to establish mining operations on the planet, but Tatooine proved to be unusually lacking in valuable ores. The settlers who managed to survive on the planet were primarily moisture farmers, extracting what little water they could from the atmosphere for survival. The planet, despite its hostile ecology, supported humanoid life was well as the native populations of Jawas and Tusken Raiders. Tatooine's average day lasted 23 standard hours, and its year encompassed 304 local days. Note that the Star Wars Journal: Anakin Skywalker claims Tatooine was located not only near several hyperspace routes, but also near other galaxies. (E4, SCRE, GG7, TME, ISU, IG1, JAS, IWE1, RESB, SWI62, SOT, SWG2P, SWCL)

Tatooine Blues

Tatooine Flatbread
This was a kind of biscuit that was made on many of Tatooine's moisture farms. (TG)

Tatooine H'kak Bean Tea
This stimulating, brewed tea was made from the beans of the h'kak bush. It was distinguished by its intense, orange color. (TCD)

Tatooine Howler
This large predator was native to the planet Tatooine and was, at first glance, very similar to a bantha. It had a heavy body with curved horns and shaggy fur. However, that was as far as the resemblance went. An extremely intelligent beast, the howler hunted alone and often preserved its prey by drying it in the arid desert environment. Whenever prey could not be found, the howler could dig up a preserved capture to sustain itself. Howlers were solitary creatures that were very rare, and many beings believed them to be nothing more than rumor or legend.

Although known to many beings as the desert wampa, the Tatooine howler was not related to the wampa ice creature of Hoth. (WOTC, NEGA)

Tatooine Planetary Insurance Company
The insurance company which underwrites many of the landspeeder and airspeeder rentals on the planet. (ZHR)

Tatooine Street Performers and Pandhandlers Guild
This guild provided a union for the various individuals who worked the dusty streets of the planet Tatooine, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (CCG13)

Tatooine Sunburn
This thick, bitter-tasting alcoholic beverage was created by placing two Starshine Surprises in one glass. The name come from the fact that most beings who drank one were stunned, as if they had tlooked directly into the light of the twin stars, Tatoo I and Tatoo II. (GG9, TME, OWS)

Tatooine Tattoo
This was spacer's slang for a deathmark placed on a being by Jabba the Hutt. (SWJ13)

Tatooine Whirlwind, The
This was one of four primary obstacles that were encountered on the Cularin Classic swoop racecourse. First held during the years following the Battle of Naboo, the Cularin Classic forced contestants to complete four circuits of the racecourse, passing through the Storm, the Dragon Teeth, the Pillars of Doom, and the Tatooine Whirlwind.

The Tatooine Whirlwind was little more than a sand-covered section of the course. However, eight massive turbines were used to create intense, localized winds that stirred up vortexes of sand, blinding racers and forcing them to adjust to the changing conditions. Spectators were protected from flying sand by a magentic containment field that covered this area of the course. (JST3)

Tatooine Yagbitter
This dry, bitter ale was produced on the planet Tatooine. (SWJ11)

Tatooine/3
This was the codename of the Empire's attempt to infiltrate the criminal organization of Jabba the Hutt, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. Led by Murtan Andes, the Imperial Intelligence team on Tatooine was abel to make several key contacts within Jabba's organization, before they were re-assigned to the Al'Nasrl Sector. (ISB)

Tatooine-mouth
This was a slang term used by many beings in the galaxy to describe any situation where one's mouth felt dry and gritty, as if one had been standing with their mouth open in the deserts of Tatooine. (OWS)

Tatooine-style Tuning
This was a method of tuning the engines of a podracer for racing in arid or desert environments. When coupled with an extended braking foil, this type of engine adjustment allowed for maximum acceleration out of turns. (CWCC)

Tatooni Booka
Located in the spaceport city of Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, this establishment sold a wide variety of music, holotexts, and holovids. The store also had a good selection of new and used viewing and listening equipment, and provided an indoor café where patrons could peruse the newsfeeds or catch up with friends. (GPB)

Tatooni Junko
This was one of the many mixed drinks that were created by the Hutts. Originally mixed on Tatooine, this drink was considered one of the most mind-relaxing drinks in the Outer Rim Territories. (GPB)

Tatrang
The red star that was the central point of the Tatrang System. (PG2)

Tatrang I
The first planet in the Tatrang System, Tatrang I was a hot, rocky wasteland with no natural moons. (PG2)

Tatrang II
Like the other inner worlds of the Tatrang System, the second world was a hot, rocky wasteland without moons. (PG2)

Tatrang III
This hot, poisonous jungle world was the third planet in the Tatrang System. It had three natural satellites. (PG2)

Tatrang V
This cool, dry, rocky world was the fifth planet in the Tatrang System, and had a vast array of untapped mineral resources. It had two moons. (PG2)

Tatrang VI
This gas giant was the sixth planet in the Tatrang System. It was surrounded by a vast ring system and 23 moons. (PG2)

Tatrang VII
This gas giant was the seventh planet in the Tatrang System. It was ringed by a system of icy belts, and had 11 moons. (PG2)

Tatrang VIII
This frigid, rocky planet was the eighth world in the Tatrang System. It seems to have been a planetoid captured by the system's gravity, and was home to an ancient scout base. The base was abandoned long ago. It had no natural satellites. (PG2)

Tatsushi
This was a highly derogatory term used by many clone troopers and their Mandalorian trainers to refer to a member of the Kaminoan race. It referred to a type of seafood. (RCTC)

Tattletale Droid
This was the more common name of the TT-8L gatekeepr droid. (EGD, NEGD)

Tattogg
This young Gungan was a private in the Gungan Grand Army, and was placed in charge of the bongo pen in Otoh Gunga just before the Battle of Naboo. (E1A10)

Tatugir
This Mandalorian verb meant "to repeat" when translated into Basic. (OWS)

Tau
This was one of the common designations used by the targetting computers installed on Imperial warships to identify a group of Imperial gunboats. Because most Imperial ships were mass-manufactured, their transponders codes were often little more than a group of letters and numbers. In order to distinguish these ships from enemy vessels during a battle, Imperial targetting computers assigned all gunboats in a given unit to a specific group, each with a specific designation. The first group discovered by the targetting computer was usually assigned to the Tau group, and the ships within that group were also given a numerical identifier, such as Tau 1. In situations where ships from two or more base ships were participating in a battle, the designation Tau was preceded by a character that was unique to the base ship. (TIEP)

Tau Sakar System
This planetary system, located in the Outer Rim Territories, contained seven life-supporting worlds. Among these worlds was the planet Garban, and all seven planets seemed to be very similar in ecology and environment. Some scientists speculated that the system was planetscaped by an unknown race. The system was overrun by the Empire, and the Jenets were enslaved to work in the mines to obtain ores. (GG4, SWJ10)

Tau Serpent
This was a species of long, paled-scaled snake that was distinguished by its large eyes. (RCTC)

Tau/Zeiss
This corporation produced some of the finest weapons optics in the Old Republic. At the time of the Clone Wars, many considered Tau/Zeiss telescopic sights to be far superior to even the Republic's modern technology, despite the fact that Tau/Zeiss had gone bankrupt more than 400 years earlier. (YDR)

Taub, Von
This male Corweillian was a scientist and associate of Jenna Zan Arbor. He had been invited to Jenna's party at Didi Oddo's café, and knew most of the other guests except for Reesa On. (EVE)

Tauber
Neuro-Saav maintained a research and development facility on this Jaso Sector planet, during the New Order. (AIR)

Taug, Brevis
This man was arrested by Imperial Intelligence officers, after it was learned that he had been bankrolling several operations of the Thanda clan of Zygerian slavers, during the early years of the New Order. In exchange for a reduced sentence, Taug provided information about how he funneled credits into the Thanda's accounts. The Imperials managed to keep Taug's operations going until they also captured Atlee Thanda, effectively smashing one branch of the Zygerian Slavers Guild. (WOA26)

T'aug, Yur
This Bothan was a Captain in the security force which patrolled Coruscant's Imperial City, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. Distinguished by his dark fur and flowing beard, Captain T'aug was dispatched to investigate the murder of Fligh. He had also been the primary investigator of the death of Ren S'orn, but had been asked to drop the investigation by Ren's mother, Senator Uta S'orn. (DH, EVE)

Tauk, Lemmet
One of the Empire's most skilled and loyal soldiers, Tauk was among the top four members of the training facility on Yinchorr, in the same class as Carnor Jax and Kir Kanos. Tauk was a friend of Kanos', and they trained hard together in the hopes of one day serving the Emperor. At the completion of their training, Emperor Palpatine ordered Tauk and Kanos to battle each other to the death, in an effort to prove their loyalty. Both hesitated before Darth Vader forced them into the battle, which Kanos eventually won by running Tauk through with his sword. Kanos mourned for his friend, and earned a scar from the blade of Vader's lightsaber for his emotions. (CE)

Taul
This swampy world, located in the Gunthar System, was the site of an Alliance training post that was destroyed by the Star Destroyer Dominator. (SWJ1)

Taulk, Ebor
This Jedi padawan and his teacher, Naeshahn, were dispatched by Mace Windu to the planet Yinchorr, to investigate the aggressive actions of the Yinchorri. Unfortunately, both Naeshahn and Ebor Taulk were killed upon their arrival. Their mutilated bodies were returned to Chancellor Valorum on Coruscant as the Yinchorri response. (AOW)

Taun
This young man was a member of The Young, and served as the leader of the group charged with restoring the utilities of the city of Zehava following The Young's defeat of the elders of the Daan and Melida. (UP)

Taung
This ancient race of gray-skinned humanoids controlled the planet Coruscant for many millennia, prior to the dawn of modern humans. They conquered the other peoples of the planet, including the Zhell, in a series of bloody conquests. They were known throughout history as the Dark Warriors, after a volcano erupted during their final battle with the Zhell. The ash from the explosion wiped out the Zhell city, and the Taung adopted the name Dha Werda Verda, or "The Warriors of the Shadow," when the ash cloud filled the skies for two years. Xenoarchaeologists believed that the Taungs were one of the possible ancestors of the original Mandalorian race, when evidence was discovered that the Battalions of Zhell eventually defeated the Taungs and took control of Coruscant. The Taungs fled, and were believed to have been the "gray-skinned beings" that were often described as the original Mandalorians. (SES, SWI86, NECH)

Taung Heights
Located on the planet Coruscant, this section of the planet-wide city was home to a large population of Aqualish during the last decades of the Old Republic. More than 145 million Aqualish lived there, until their homeworld of Ando seceded from the Republic. A great number of the Aqualish in the Taung Heights returned to Ando to support the planet's secession. (HNN4)

Taungsday
This was the third day of the Coruscant week. (OWS)

Taunt, Rej
This immense, male Askajian was one of the many small-time crimelords who lived and worked on the moon Nar Shaddaa, during the early years of the New Order. Taunt was the oldest son of a family who made a living on Askaj farming tomuons for cloth and fur. He was so large that the rolls of fat beneath his chin were often mistaken for the breasts of a female Askajian. For reasons known only to himself, Taunt had arrived on Nar Shaddaa as a child, and decided never to go back to his homeworld. On Nar Shaddaa, Taunt maintained a villa that was noted for its tacky decorations and styling. This belied his up-and-coming status, and his taste for the finer things in life. One thing that Taunt desired was a fast starship, and so he hired Bammy Decree to reconstruct the damaged hulk of the Stellar Envoy, creating a souped-up vessel he called the Second Chance. With this ship, Taunt hoped to impress the more important members of the Nar Shaddaa criminal underworld, and he eventually accepted a job from Black Sun. The job involved working with Lu San as go-betweens during a deal with the Colicoids, exchanging a cargo of frozen eopie meat for a shipment of deactivated buzz droids.

Although Lu San managed to close the deal, Taunt's bodyguard Viss made a movement that incited the Colicoids to attack them. Only Taunt managed to return safely to the Second Chance, only to learn that the buzz droids in his holds had suddenly been activated. The buzz droids attacked the ship, diligently tearing it apart in an effort to return it to its stock specifications. With remote help from Bammy Decree, they were able to discover that the computer Bammy had installed in the ship was of Colicoid manufacture. Thus, when Taunt started the ship, it also activated the buzz droids. Taunt's crew was then able to shut down the computer, allowing them to collect the droids and jettison them, but they were intercepted by an Imperial cruiser. The buzz droids were reactivated then the crew fired up the Second Chance, and they attacked the Imperial cruiser, causing it to explode. The surviving Imperials captured the Second Chance and sent Taunt to prison, where he languished for several decades in places like Oovo IV, Agon Nine, Fodurant, Delrian, and finally, Carcel. At Carcel, however, Taunt was able to surround himself with the trappings of wealth and civilization. Instead of a prison cell, Taunt was housed in a collection of suites that were richly appointed. He later revealed to Tobb Jadak that he had arranged to have a bounty placed on Bammy Decree's head, which paid to debt Taunt still owed to the Black Sun vigo. The vigo was impressed with Taunt's honor that he proposed a deal, in which Taunt remained in prison, trading information that could be provided to the wardens for the ability to traffick illegal goods and services to the other inmates. Taunt received the luxurious rooms as part of his compensation, and spent the next several years collecting antiques and other bits of Republicana treasure to decorate his home.

Some forty-three years after the Battle of Yavin, Taunt found himself often outbid in auctions by the noted lawyer, Lestra Oxic. When Tobb Jadak arrived at Carcel to ask about the history of the Second Chance, Taunt agreed to tell him what he knew, provided that Jadak did something in return. This turned out to be the kidnapping of the Colicoid who was Oxic's star witness in the Colicoid Creation Nest's case agains the Galactic Alliance. With the Colicoid missing, Oxic was forced to concede the case, allowing the Galactic Alliance to prevent the Colicoids from returning to business. In exchange for Jadak's efforts on Holess, Rej Taunt provided him with the name Zenn Bien, who was living on the planet New Balosar. (MF)

Tauntaun
A cold-weather creature native to the planet Hoth, tauntains were reptomammals that resembled fur-covered iguanas. These creatures ran on their hind legs and had curved, ram-like horns protecting their heads. On their homeworld, tauntauns were often found in large herds, racing across the snowy plains on their large, three-toed feet. The four nostrils on the tauntaun's nose were uniquely chambered, warming each breath before it entered the lungs. They had strong, rough lips that allowed them to scrape lichens and moss off exposed rocks for food. These lower plants were not their only source of food, as tauntauns were also seen eating carrion and small rodents.

These creatures had a unique elimination system, exuding oils and waste products through pores in their skin. This caused the tauntaun to eminate a distictive, often noxious odor. In the wild, tauntauns sought nocturnal shelter in caves and ice grottoes, since they could not survive the harsh nighttime temperatures.

The internal organs of the tauntaun were all packed tightly inside their skeletons behind layers of fat, thereby protected from the cold. As a further evolutionary adaption to Hoth's frigid environment, tauntauns had a unique, cold-resistant blood that allowed them to survive on the Hoth tundra. At night, tauntauns usually sought the shelter of caves or grottoes.

Scientist discovered that there were at least fifteen species of tauntaun on Hoth, each having a distinct mix of reptilian and mammalian characteristics. The tauntaun, being one of the two primary creatures native to Hoth, was the favored source of food for the other, the Wampa ice creature. Female tauntauns gave birth to live young, and fed them with a form of milk they regurgitated from their stomachs. Males could also regurgitate this milk, since they used it to spit when annoyed or angered.

Tauntauns were used by the Alliance as mounts, during the time that personnel occupied Echo Base. However, only the females proved to be even-tempered enough to serve as mounts. To pass the time, Alliance soldiers often staged tauntaun rodeos, putting their mounts through various stunts and exercises while trying to create a comradery with the uncooperative beasts. (E5, ISU, EGA, WSW, NEGA)

Taurannik Codex
This incredibly ancient collection of writings and recollections was believed to have been destroyed during the Muurshantre Extinction, more than 100,000 years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. Lord Cronal discovered several pieces of the Taurannik Codex in the Gunninga Gap region of the Unknown Regions of the galaxy, and was able to use them to locate the Temple of Korman Lao, in the Valtaullu Rift. (LSSM)

Taurill
These foot-long, semi-intelligent creatures have gray fur, two legs, and four supple arms. Each of their four hands was incredibly dextrous, as were their feet, giving them a simian appearance even with their spade-shaped tail. They have beedy eyes that allow the curious creatures to survey everything. Like some insect races, the taurill have a hive mind in which each individual was linked to all others in a collective consciousness. They were discovered in the Outer Rim, but the explorer and the xenobioligist who found them were killed by Durga the Hutt in an effort to keep their existence a secret. Durga the Hutt used used a number of them as workers, and brought them with him to Coruscant.

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

Tavira, Leonia
This small woman had a very severe demeanor. She was married to Tharil Tavira, and her strong will allowed her to quickly fill his position when he passed away. There were some who believe she had him killed, in order to obtain the title of Moff. Still others believe she killed Tharil's first wife in order to marry him. Following Tharil's death, Tavira cultivated a relationship with Harran Estillo, hoping to use him as a way to gain control of the Priamsta and the People's Liberation Battalion. Their plans were foiled when it was revealed that Plourr was the true heir to the throne of Eiattu, and she returned to take control. Leonia fled with the Star Destroyer Invidious, and gathered the support of a pirate named Kavil. Tavira maintained her contacts on Eiattu. When Leia Organa traveled to Eiattu for a diplomatic mission, Tavira obtained information on her location from Baron Laabann, and had Leia kidnapped along with Tycho Celchu. Tavira believed that the New Republic would gladly pay for Leia's freedom, but she was unaware that her agent had actually captured Winter instead of Leia. After a brief stint with Kavil's Corsairs, and with help from Sate Pestage in escaping from Axxila, Tavira started her own pirate organization. She offered Pestage to Ysanne Isard, but Isard arranged to have Pestage stolen from Ciutric before Tavira could recover her reward. She provided the military support with the Invidious, but never actually did any pirating. Once the target was neutralized, she disappeared to her lair and started planning her next move. She collected fifty percent of all the loot stolen by the pirates, which helped fund her operations. She was the target of Rogue Squadron and the New Republic, shortly after the death of Emperor Palpatine's clone on Byss. Leonia was operating from a base on Suarbi 7/5, a moon known for the Jensaarai sect of Jedi. There, she killed the moon's Imperial governor, claimed to have removed the natives from Imperial control. She alo used her persuasive skills to coerce the Jensaarai and their leader, the Saarai-kaar into believing that they must kidnap Mirax Terrik in order to draw a being known as the Halcyon - Corran Horn, a member of Rogue Squadron - into a trap. She made them believe that killing the Halcyon would eliminate a dire threat to their homeworld anf their families. She continued to make her raids, destroying the Harmzuay and gaining more control over the Jensaarai. However, Corran's infiltration into the Khuiumin Survivors led to her downfall, as he used the persona of an "avenging Jedi" to break up the Invids stationed on Courkrus. Tavira became increasing unable to handle the situation when Corran and Luke Skywalker broke into her fortress on Suarbi 7/5 and rescued Mirax. She tried to wipe out all of Suarbi 7/5 in order to kill them, but her small fleet was attacked by the Backstab and the Errant Venture. Corran also used the Force to project a much larger fleet of ships arrayed against her, and Tavira fled into hyperspace. (XWWP, IJ, HXW, XWM, XWMR)

Tavira, Tharil
This Imperial Grand Moff was dispatched to take control of Eiattu just before Uthorrferrel Cartha was unseated by the Priamsta. Although it was never proven, it was believed that his ambitious young wife, Leonia, killed him in order to obtain his position as Grand Moff. Tharil suffered a massive stroke which incapacitated him, and his allergy to bacta meant that he could not recover quickly. As soon as he regained the use of his hands, he shot himself with a blaster. (XWWP, IJ)

Tavus
This man served the Galactic Republic's military as a Lieutenant, during the final years of Great Galactic War. Lieutenant Tavus was placed in charge of the joint task force, along with Jedi Master Orgus Din, that eliminated the Sith threat from the Minos Cluster of the galaxy. The pair returned to Coruscant to report on their mission, and their report to the Supreme Chancellor coincided with Lord Angral's attack on the capital world. Although Orgus was caught in a lightsaber duel with Angral, a crashing starship knocked both to the ground. Tavus was briefly separated from Orgus, who survived the crash, but they agreed to meet at the Jedi Temple. When they found the Temple had been hit hard during the Sith attack, Orgus feared that the Jedi had been wiped out. Tavus suggested that they regroup with the rest of the Republic military, but they got separated while trying to reach the underground command center. Tavus arrived just behind a pair of Sith battle droids, and managed to destroy them both before they could attack Orgus and the other Republic personnel. After meeting up with the survivors, Jedi Master Zym asked Lieutenant Tavus to accompany Master Orgus to Balmorra, to locate Fortis Gall. While moving through space, Tavus located an escape pod, and had to defeat a group of Mandalorians to recover it. Inside the escape pod was Satele Shan, and she provided Tavus and Orgus with the story of the Sith Empire's attack on her ship. Orgus made contact with Jedi Master Zym, who ordered them to take Shan and Fortris Gall to Dantooine, where they were to help the Republic's forces honor the cease-fire with the Sith. During the trip to Dantooine, Tavus began to sense something between himself and Shan, and suggested that they take some time off together to get to know one another. Upon reaching Dantooine, Tavus was surprised to be confronted by Jedi Master Dar'nala, whom everyone assumed was dead. Master Dar'nala explained that events in the galaxy were transpiring that would bring the unease peace between the Sith and the Republic to an end, and asked that Tavus assist them in confronting Lord Baras. He reluctantly agreed, and they set out to meet the Sith in an ancient crystal cave. In the fight that ensued, they learned that Master Dar'nala had been behind much of the strife that followed the Treaty of Coruscant. Tavus himself managed to disarm a Sith Lord using a small grenade, and would have killed the man if Satele Shan had not stepped in to stop him. (TOP1, TOP2, TOP3)

Tavya-class Armored Picket
This Hoersch-Kessel patrol ship was developed for the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Its mission profile was to use in scouting hyperspace exit points for military and diplomatic convoys, dropping out of hyperspace long enough to scan the location for Separatist ships. These ships were well-armed for their size, with a turret-mounted laser cannon and a missile launcher, and the Republic often installed an extra proton torpedo launcher underneath the fuselage for added security. (YDR)

Tawaler, Siron
This man served as a security officer aboard Toryaz Station, in orbit near Kuat, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. He found himself under the control of a mysterious woman while he was on duty during the peace conference between the Galactic Alliance and the leadership of the Corellian System, after the woman told him that he was to become the telbun of a wealthy lady. In order to win her love, however, he had to kill the Jedi who were after her. The woman, who was later discovered to have been Lumiya, lured Tawaler into an airlock by controlling him with the Force, making him believe that the Jedi were arriving at the station. In reality, the airlock was simply vented to space, and Tawaler walked into it without question. His death was not discovered for several hours, which was enough time to Lumiya to bring twenty hired killers onboard Toryaz Station to carry out her own mission: the execution of Aidel Saxan and Gilad Pellaeon. Investigation by Wedge Antilles and Tycho Celchu initially revealed that Tawaler was still on Toryaz Station, since his comlink was returning a signal when hailed. However, the signal was discovered to be eminating from a point in space about an hour's flight from the station. Tawaler's body showed no signs of injury, other than what could be expected on a victim of explosive decompression. (LF1)

As the Clone Wars ground on, Tay'haai was one of many former Cuy'val Dar members who joined Kal Skirata's plans to defect from the Grand Army of the Republic and establish away for clone troopers to live out normal lives. He and Mij Gilamar were among the many instructors who hated the fact that clone troopers were being trained in covert operations in order to hunt down defectors, but Wad'e was forced to ackowledge the fact that being on the inside of the Republic's military gave him access to information and data that could not be acquired by a civilian.

TC-14 was acted by John Fenson and voiced by Lindsay Duncan in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (E1, IG1, NEGD)

TC-16
This silver-plated protocol droid served Nute Gunray at his residence on Cato Neimoidia, during the last decades of the Old Republic. After Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi forced Gunray to flee the purse-world, they found a number of his possessions had been left behind in his haste to escape. In addition to the Viceroy's mechno-chair, the Jedi also discovered TC-16. The droid was removed from Cato Neimoidia and debriefed on Coruscant, before being turned over to the two Jedi as a liaison during their search for Gunray. It was TC-16 who helped them gain access to Workshop Xcan on Charros IV, where TC-16 was briefly taken aside to be realigned and polished while the Jedi talked to t'laalak-s'lalak-t'th'ak.

This was a model of Carbonite Encasement Apparatus. The TCF32 was used on Cloud City, although the fumes of the coolant used in the structure have a euphoric effect on the Ugnaughts that operate it. Those Ugnaughts that were given duty on the TCF32 were held in awe by their peers. (CCG5)

T'cha, Uta
This woman was a former Sabiador slaver, and a confederate of Khzam during that time. She left the slavers to start her own business, selling and repairing droids. She found work in the planet Pitann, and eventually worked with Sho'ban Do to set up the gladiator droid wars that became popular there. She was working on a program that would allow a remote user to override a droid's control program, which Do hoped to steal and use to control his droid army. Uta helped the crew of the FarStar expose Do's treachery, but demanded that she be transported out of the Kathol Republic to avoid reprisals from Do's supporters. (KO)

Tchaka
This youth was Rekkon's nephew, and he moved to the Corporate Sector when his father relocated there. Rekkon relocated as well, and took Tchaka under his wing while his brother slaved away to earn a living. Rekkon's displeasure with the Corporate Sector Authority's policies and practices bled over into Tchaka, and the boy started to act on them. Where Rekkon proferred to act quietly and within the system, Tchaka was impulsive and outspoken. He began to speak out at campus rallies, and was soon a major thorn in the Authority's hide. When he suddenly disappeared, Rekkon began to suspect that Tchaka was incarcerated by the Authority. This was exactly the case, for Tchaka's orations had reached the ears of Security Viceprex Mirkovig Hirken, who had placed Tchaka on his "list" of candidates for imprisonment at Stars' End. With the help of Han Solo and Chewbacca, Rekkon was able to discover the location of Stars' End, but was killed by Torm before he could rescue his nephew. After his release, and the discovery of his uncle's murder, Tchaka turned his energies to making the Authority pay for its crimes. (HSE, CSA)

His ancient manuscript, Sayings, was kept in the Atrisian Imperial Historical Library on Kitel Phard for 3,000 years before it was removed to be copied. The copies were distrubuted to all living members of the Tching royalty some 1,500 years before the fall of the Old Republic. Later, at the height of the New Order, Emperor Palpatine demanded that the original manuscript be brought to Coruscant, where it disappeared into his private collection. Following the Battle of Endor, the exact location of the manuscript was unknown. Note that Uueg Tching was also referred to as the 54th Emperor of Atrisia. (ISB, SWJ14)

This unusual blaster weapon, produced during the height of the New Order, was available with a bio-link that allowed the weapon to interface with the shooter's brainwaves, adding a measure of accuracy and speed to the weapon's capabilities. (SWGAL)

T'Chttrk
This female T'kkrpk served as one of the leaders of the Combined Defense Forces of the New Republic, during the months that followed the Battle of Endor. Like most other members of her race, T'Chttrk could not describe her actual age in any way that other races could, following the events of the Great Reconciliation. T'Chttrk was an adult when the Great Reconciliation occurred, however, making her well over a hundred years old. Before joining the Alliance, T'Chttrk was a hereditary officer in her homeworld's defense force. After joining the Alliance, T'Chttrk earned the rank of Commander. However, her species lacked the ability to speak the Basic language, so she was never without her protocol droid, D-P4M. (LSSM)

T'Chuk Arena
Located on Coruscant during the last decades of the Old Republic, this huge sports arena was the planet's primary chin-bret playing field. Shaped like a huge, tiered shell, the T'Chuk Arena could accommodate hundreds of thousands of fans. It was here, some two years after the start of the Clone Wars, that the first of the JK-series combat droids captured from Ord Cestus were shown to the galactic government and the Jedi Knights.

This was the language spoken by the Wharl, which were also known as the Tchuukthai. Note that this language was referred to as Tchuukthese on the Wizards of the Coast website. (EGP, WOTC)

Tchuukthai
A culture of predators whose epic poems and songs were legendary througout the galaxy, the tchuukthai were a quadripedal race of sentients from an undiscovered planet. Isolationist by nature, the Tchuukthai did nothing to correct the galactic impression that they were simply brutish beasts. C-3PO related one of their more romantic epics to Han Solo just before he took Leia Organa to Dathomir. It was later discovered that the Tchuukthai were the same species as the Wharl, and were actually intelligent creatures. Most beings throughout the galaxy regard the Tchuukthai as nothing more than a legend, since very few individuals were ever seen off their hidden homeworld. (CPL, EGP, WOTC, PJSB)

Tchuukthese
This was another name for Tchuukthai, the language spoken by the Wharl, which were also known as the Tchuukthai. (WOTC)

This blade-shaped, personal cruiser was among the finest vessels produced during the decades leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. The ship was equipped with the most cutting-edge technology, providing its owner with incredible power and range. The controls of the T-class cruiser were designed to conform to all galactic standards for operation and control, and made flying the ship a simple task for even the novice pilot. (DBPD)

TC-series Droid
This "boutique" line of protocol droids was products by Cybot Galactica in the years prior to the Clone Wars. Based on the popular 3PO series, the TC series was humanoid in stature but often silver, bronze or red in color. They were known for being unflappable and proper, a trait that was enhanced with each memory wipe. They were distinguished from the 3PO series of protocol droids by the use of TranLang III communications modules, which gave these droids the designation TC. The TC-series protocol droid was the first model of Cybot Galactica automaton to use the TranLang III module, which allowed the droids to communicate in millions of different languages. (E1N, SWI71, OWS, NEGD, SWI109)

TD Series Oil Bath
This droid-cleaning oil bath was manufactured by Fryll Industries. (FTD)

TD0-2

An out-of-the-way star in the Corellian Sector, chosen by Thrackan Sal-Solo to be the first star he explodes, as part of his master plan to librerate the Corellian Sector. It had no planets and no life in its system. (AC)

TD2.3
Manufactured by Neuro-Saav, this inexpensive model of electrobinoculars was equipped with stereoscopic sighting and computer-enhanced magnification. It used an instant-focus system to lock onto the object in front of it, and the display system provided information on distance, relative elevation, and azimuths. (EGW)

TD-32
This TransTech Droidworks power station became the primary battleground for the Separatist forces that were protecting the installation during the height of the Clone Wars. The Old Republic dispatched several teams of ARC Troopers to capture TransTech, but the defenses at TD-32 proved to be better-armed than reported. (SWMW)

T'da
This was the name given by young Aayla Secura to the floppy-eared pet she kept at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during her early training under Quinlan Vos. When T'da died, Aayla despaired of never seeing the creature again. Vos explained to her that, although she could no longer see or touch the living flesh that was T'da, Aayla could always find the creature's memory in the Living Force. (RHE)

T'dai
This Zabrak Jedi Master served the Jedi Order some 700 years before the Battle of Yavin. It was Master T'dai who was assigned a group of newly-commissioned Jedi Knights, and dispatched to hunt down a Bpfasshi Dark Jedi who was operating in the Bpfassh System. One of his Knights, an alien named Minch, confronted the Dark Jedi but was no match for his skills. Master T'dai and the others arrived to save Minch, but the Dark Jedi took his own life to avoid being captured. (T16)

T'dawlish, Breyf
This white-furred, Bothan male was one of the many who represented their homeworld of Bothawui within The Confederation, several years after the Swarm War. It was T'dawlish who met Silfinia and Najack Ell when they arrived at Gilatter Eight, to participate in The Confederation's first full, face-to-face meeting since its formation. Unknown to T'dawlish, the Ells were not actually who they seemed to be, and were actually Lumiya and Jacen Solo in disguise. This did not matter much, though, because T'dawlish and the other "delegates" were actually actors who were serving as stand-ins, as part of an elaborate trap that was meant to lure the Galactic Alliance to Gilatter Eight. (LF4)

TDL Nanny Droid
An advanced protocol droid produced by Industrial Automaton under the brand name X1-Lioness, the TDL was designed to serve as a nanny to humanoid infants. The TDL was equipped with four arms that were covered with synthetic flesh, and its shape was rounded to make it appear less dangerous to children. It was equipped with an AA-1 VerboBrain and a TranLang III communications module, allowing it to interact with a number of sentient species. One of the main problems that plagued the TDL series of droids was the fact that it was easily reprogrammed. Several reports told of mischievous children repogramming them to allow later bedtimes and less restrictive boundaries. There were also rumors of corporate executives reprogramming TDL droid to be bodyguards and assassins, since they were comparatively cheaper than dedicated assassin droids. Note that The Essential Guide to Droids claims that the TDL was produced by Accutronics. (COTF, JASB, SWJ14, EGD)

TDL-3.5
This nanny droid was purchased from an online catalog by Anakin Solo, using the ordering code Bantha-456. Young Anakin believed that the nanny droid would help C-3PO take better care of the Solo children. The officious TDL-3.5 tried to convince C-3PO that it was better suited to care for children, especially since C-3PO was a protocol droid. However, once Anakin's part in the purchase was revealed, C-3PO sent TDL-3.5 back to the warehouse. (TNR)

TDL-501
This was a series of waitress droids that was produced by Accutronics, during the last years of the Old Republic. The TDL-501 was regarded as little more than a knock-off of the older WA-7 service droid, given that it was a unipod model that looked and moved like a female. Known as a Teedle, these droids were breifly popular during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, until the changing tastes of restaurant owners and customers moved away from the Mondeo Movement style of design. (MJH, NEGD)

T'doshok
This was the term used by the Trandoshan race to describe themselves. (CCG7, NEGA)

T-DP

Te Gaf, Biris J.
This man worked as a senior purchasing agent in the Galactic Alliance Procurement Center, during the years following the Swarm War, where he served under the direction of Tav Vello. It was Te Gaf who was the officer responsible for engineering support, meaning that he was in charge of making purchase decisions on military supplies. Thus, he was responsible for purchasing cannon service packs that were supplied to the Galactic Alliance military forces during the Corellia-GA War. When the packs began to fail at increasing rates in the field, Jacen Solo personally visited both Vello and Te Gaf to figure out a solution.

Using his new-found legal rights under the Legislative and Regulations Statute Amendment, Solo had Te Gaf assigned to the front-line warship Ocean, which was experiencing the most problems with the cannon packs, so that Te Gaf could personally investigate the situation. (LF5)

Te Gef, Biris J.

Te Gniev, Jal
This Alliance starfighter pilot was a veteran of thirty-one missions and more than eighty kills, but was kept out of the Battle of Yavin by a case of the measles. Luke Skywalker flew his X-Wing during the battle, and Jal felt cheated out of his chance for glory every since. His feelings toward Luke bordered on hatred, and Jal stole an X-Wing in an effort to prove his own worth. In his haste, he crashed the fighter into a grove of trees, and was arrested by the Alliance's military police. General Dodonna offered him one option: travel to Dubrava and act as a recruiter. Jal took the position, if only to get away from Luke. While on Dubrava, Jal offended a young Dubravan named Bobek by tricking him into falling off a deck during a mock training exercise. He also told Nevana about Luke traveling to Jazbina, in a drunken fit of rage. She told Sarma of the information, and Sarma rounded up the local Imperial stormtroopers. When they tried to catch her and get more information on Skywalker's location, she confronted Jal about the information. Nevana was shot by a stormtrooper before she could say anything more, and Jal barely escaped when the stormtroopers set the bar on fire, but was apprehended by the Imperials. Bobek intervened, having purchased a blaster and vowing to kill Jal, but was shot by a stormtrooper. Jal felt that their deaths were his own fault, and fled Dubrava in an old X-Wing purchased from a Dubravan dealer. He hoped to get to Jazbina before the Empire, in order to warn Luke of the danger he'd caused. When he dropped out of hyperspace, Jal's ship collided with Vader's Star Destroyer, and Jal was forced to crash-land. However, he was able to discover Luke's location just before Darth Vader did, though he fled when Vader captured Luke and Syayna's rebels. Jal didn't run, though. Instead, he flew his starship into the belly of Vader's Star Destroyer and crashed it into the ship at full speed. The Star Destroyer exploded, and Vader's troops were stranded on the planet. (VQ)

Te Hasa
This planet, one of the worlds of the Gree Enclave, was known for its large concentration of Gree textmasters. The planet was the location of the Great Library of Manuals, which contains vast amounts of information on Gree technology. However, the exact location of the planet was a well-guarded secret, and Te Hasa had become known as the "hidden world" of the Gree Enclave. Since the decline of Gree civilization, Te Hasa had become a storehouse for devices and technologies that they no longer understand or have forgotten how to use. It was a desert world, and the storehouses of devices were located beneath the many oases that dot the landscape. These storehouses were maintained by a close-knit community of Gree which were hoping to unlock the many secrets contained within the devices. A day on Te Hasa lasted about 29 standard hours, and its year encompasses 296 local days. (SWJ8)

Te Padka
This was a religious faith that preached peace and pacifism. (CWTV14)

Team Meloque
This was the codename of the infiltration team headed by the Ho'Din scientist Meloque, which infiltrated the planet Caluula more than four years after the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy. Meloque had the credentials of a scientist who had been studying the Nocturne of the Winged-Stars, allowing her to gain access to the planet. Along with her were Han and Leia Organa Solo, Kyp Durron, Judder Page, and Wraw. Their mission was simple: destroy the yammosk which had been installed on Caluula, in an effort to knock out the Yuuzan Vong's possible coordination of a massive assault on Calamari. Despite only seeing a single patrol andd just one surveillance biot, the events that occurred after their arrival led Team Meloque to believe that it was being led into a trap. This fear proved true when the Team was ambushed by four Slayers, who killed Sasso and Ferfer before incapacitating Han Solo and taking the survivors captive. Meloque was able to interpret for the captives, until Malik Carr arrived to personally take them into custody. Unfortunately for the Yuuzhan Vong, something about Caluula's environment caused them to weaken and die over a period of a few weeks. The process seemed to speed up as death grew nearer, as evidenced by the sudden death of Malik Carr, his guards and Slayers. Suddenly free, the Team rushed to figure out what was killing the Yuuzhan Vong and their bio-technology. Wraw was forced to reveal that his primary mission as part of Team Meloque was to verify the effectiveness of a new strain of the Alpha Red virus which was released on Caluula, to verify that it was still as potent as originally believed. (UF)

Team Millennium Holos
This was one of the leading professional swoop-racing teams, active during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN5)

Team Mynock
This was the codename used by Jacen Solo and Ben Skywalker, during their mission to disable Centerpoint Station before Thrackan Sal-Solo could use it as a weapon, some ten years after the war with the Yuuzhan Vong. They chose the name because their mission called for them to infiltrate the station from the outside, moving about on the surface of the station like mynocks until they could find an airlock and get inside. (LF1)

Team NaKuda
This was one of the leading professional swoop-racing teams, active during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN5)

Team Purella
This was the codename of the Jedi unit led by Jaina Solo and Zekk, that infiltrated the city of Coronet, on Corellia, some ten years after the war with the Yuuzhan Vong. Team Purella's mission was to appear as Corellian citizens, in order to infiltrate the flow of traffic and kidnap Five World Part Prime Minister Aidel Saxan. The objective to was to force the leaders of the Corelllian System to stand down from their threats of secession. However, Prime Minister Saxan had been altered to the possibility of a foray by the Galactic Alliance, and specifically a mission by the Jedi, against the Corellians. Thus, her airspeeder contained only a droid dressed ni the uniform of a Corellian Security Force officer when Zekk reached it. The droid then pushed a self-destruct device, exploding the airspeeder and nearly taking Team Purella with it. The four Jedi managed to escape from Corellia, but Zekk and Kolir Hu'lya were badly injured. (LF1)

Team Razor
This was an Alliance Special Forces Pathfinder unit, best known for setting up Outpost Cinder during the Galactic Civil War. (HAS)

Team Slashrat
This was the codename of a group of Jedi starfighter pilots who were assigned to the battle carrier Dodonna, during the Galactic Alliance's mission to prevent Thrackan Sal-Solo from seceding the Corellian System from the GA, some ten years after the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Led by Jedi Master Corran Horn, Team Slashrat was charged with infiltrating Coronet and monitoring the starfighter traffic at its largest spaceports. Their role in the mission was largely negated when it was learned that most Corellian starfighters were already in orbit, awaiting the appearance of the Galactic Alliance Second Fleet. (LF1)

Team SoroSuub
This was one of the leading professional swoop-racing teams, active during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. They were sponsored by SoroSuub Corporation during this time.

Team Tauntaun was led by Tahiri Veila, and included fellow Jedi Doran Tainer and Tiu Zax. Their mission was to capture Thrackan Sal-Solo, but their attempt to reach the Corellian insurgent was met with an ambush, after Aidel Saxan learned of the impending mission during a conversation with Han Solo. Team Tauntaun was thought to be lost after the initial wave of combat, until Tahiri and Doran were rescued by Jaina Solo and Team Purella. Tiu Zax remained behind, and infiltrated Sal-Solo's residence to gather intelligence for a second mission. (LF1)

Team Womp Rat
This was the name of the team of Jedi Knights, led by Luke Skywalker, that was missioned to recover Teams Purella and Tauntaun from Corellia, some ten years after the end of the war with the Yuuzhan Vong.

Tebbo, Monnda
This Duro once served as the navigator for the spice smuggling ship Ill Wind. While aboard the ship, he learned everything he could about smuggling from a Corellian navigator named Sumok. Sumok also gave Tebbo information on how to reach the Alliance, should he ever need help. Shortly afterward, the Ill Wind was caught by an Imperial fleet near Uogo'Cor and damaged. Sumok died in the battle, and the ship lost all power. Tebbo's quick thinking allowed him to obtain some measure of control of the tumbling ship, and he managed to use the shields as brakes to get the ship on the ground. After landing, the crew had to hide from Imperial patrols for four days before being rescued by the Alliance. Tebbo and the entire crew joined the Alliance, and Tebbo was assigned navigational duties aboard the Flurry. His skills with the Quasar Fire-class ship made an a valuable advisor, and he was dispatched to the Virgillian System to help the newly-formed Virgillian Free Alignment learn how to fly them. Unfortunately for the Alliance, Tebbo was killed when the Flurry was destroyed at the Battle of Bakura. (TBSB)

Tebec
This Mandalorian word meant "ammunition" when translated into Basic. (OWS)

Teb'lya, Rava
This female Bothan owned and operated the Rose Nebula massage parlor and spa, located on Coruscant, during the early years of the New Republic. She also maintained a network of spies and informants on the planet, buying and selling information behind the scenes. As a child, she grew up on Coruscant as the daughter of a diplomat, and was raised in the lap of luxury. She loved to buy extravagant things, and went so far as to establish a spice smuggling operation to afford her fancy clothing and jewelry. When this scheme was exposed to the public, her parents were disgraced, and Rava Teb'lya was given her inheritance and told to leave. Rather than sulk, Rava took her inheritance and invested the money in the Rose Nebula, using her diplomatic contacts and skills to build the relaxation center into a thriving operation. Her Bothan connections allowed her to expand her network of informants and spies, although most of the best information was obtained by the relaxation experts at the Rose Nebula. She sold a great of information to Ter-Idi, and kept much of her operation a carefully-hidden secret. She went so far as to prohibit former employees from setting up their own information networks, and soundly punished those were caught trying to obtain too much information, (UA)

Tebru
This planet was located in the Outer Rim. (SWJ10)

Tebut, Patra
This dark-haired woman served as a Lieutenant in the Galactic Alliance military, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Know for her efficiency and her no-nonsense attitude, Lieutenant Tebut was stationed aboard the Star Destroyer Anakin Solo, where she served as one of the ship's officers of the watch. Thus, she was on duty when Ben Skywalker returned from Ziost in a Sith Meditation Sphere. She alerted Jacen Solo to Ben's return, then worked behind the scenes to ensure that no knowledge of the Sith artifact was leaked to the rest of the crew. Jacen knew that the secret was safe with Tebut, who was also known for her loyalty and reliability.

In the wake of the trap that was set by Five Worlds Prime Minister Sadras Koyan to trap Jacen at a deep-space rendezvous, it was Tebut who discovered a strange patch on Jacen's cloak. She pointed it out to him, and allowed him to discover that someone had planted a tracking sensor on the cloak. For this discovery, Jacen planned to have Tebut promoted. However, her pride in a job well-done was short-lived, as it was Tebut who cleared the shuttle Reveille for landing aboard the Anakin Solo, during a mission to capture Centerpoint Station. When Jacen learned of this, he could not contain his anger. Grabbing her neck with the Force, he refused to accept her apology, and crushed her spine before flinging her lifeless body to the ground. (LF5, LF7, LF8)

Tecave
This grass grows only on the planet Cerea, where was fills the rolling fields. Tecave was important because was was used to produce guilea, and was in high demand off-planet. However, it cannot survive without the presence of malium in the atmosphere, a substance which was rare on most worlds but found in the correct quantities on Cerea. (PTR)

Tecave City
This was the capital city of the planet Cerea. It was an unusual city, contained with the walls of a three-tower building surmounted by a diamond-shaped structure.

Tech 4 PDV
This was the name given to the Imperial Intelligence Plexus Droid Vessel. The Tech 4 PDV was used by the Sector Plexus to quickly communicate important information between neighboring systems. The vessels were manned by two droids - an R2-M3 captain and an I2-CG storage and transceiving unit - and a computer, and were equipped with advanced astrogation and hyperdrive capabilities. To all outward appearances, the Tech 4 PDV was a simply mining probe or scavenger droid, so they were often disregarded by most starship captains. In order to ensure that their true nature was not discovered, these vessels were given blocking and jamming systems to avoid long-range detection. (ISB, SN)

Tech Circle
This section of the primary city on Kegan was dedicated to the maintenance of the planet's anitiquated technologies. It led into the Communications Circle. (FFT)

Tech Hunter
This was the term used to describe any high-tech bounty hunter who specialized in the acquisition of information and technology for their employers. Instead of hunting down living beings, tech hunters scoured the galaxy for certain pieces of weaponry or technology, which they then acquired for their customers while bypassing the normal channels. (RCTC)

Tech Raiders
This smuggling group was active some twelve years prior to the Battle of Naboo, when they moved their base of operations from Coruscant to the planet Vandor-3. They were known to be black marketeers of starships and weapons. It was believed that Senator Uta S'orn had been trying to form a coalition of planets in order to force the Tech Raiders out of business, shortly before her retirement. However, news of her retirement forced her to drop her work on forming the coalition. (DH)

Tech Workers
This was a branch of The Workers faction, based on the planet New Apsolon some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. The Tech Workers toiled with the manufacture of computers andother technical system. During Balog's attempt to take control of New Apsolon, the Tech Workers allied themselves with the Rock Workers.

Techno Union
This was one of the largest corporate conglomerates to be given a trade franchise during the last decades of the Old Republic. With a membership comprised of starship manufacturers, weapons and droid developers, and major technology suppliers, the Techno Union was established to ensure that fair commerce was maintained across the galaxy, as well as to develop some of the most promising new technologies. Shipping concerns were later added to the roster of the Union, helping to ensure that supply lines and distribution channels remained open.

Led by Wat Tambor, the Techno Union's members - which included such signatories as the Baktoid Armor Workshop, Haor Chall Engineering, Republic Sienar Systems, Kuat Systems Engineering, TaggeCo, BlasTech Industries, and the Corellian Engineering Corporation - produced some of the galaxy's most cutting-edge technologies during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The Techno Union was also one of the loudest supporters of the Trade Federation, following on the Federation's coattails whenever legislation involving trade was mentioned in galactic politics. Using tactics developed by the Trade Federation, the Techno Union demanded the right to protect its various members from external attack, and was given license to develop a droid army to defend itself. This military might, coupled with the Techno Union's corporate signatories, made the Techno Union a true force to be reckoned with.

The amassed army of the Techno Union was later added to the growing forces of Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems just before the Battle of Geonosis, when Wat Tambor agreed to join the Separatists in the fight against the oppression of the Old Republic. During the height of the Clone Wars, the Techno Union established a secret facility on the planet Nelvaan, where harnessed geothermal energy was used to power the facility. Nelvaanian males were genetically and surgically altered by Skakoan scientists to form a kind of armed slave. The facility was later destroyed by Anakin Skywalker, and the Techno Union representatives were summarily slaughered by the young Jedi and the freed Nelvaanians.

Like other supporters of the Separatists, the Techno Union floundered in the wake of the Clone Wars, after Wat Tambor was assassinated on Mustafar by Darth Vader. With the nationalization of many of its corporate signatories by the Empire, the Techno Union ceased to exist early in the era of the New Order. Mnay of its former executives and partners fled into the Corporate Sector of the galaxy, where they put their skills to use among the many corporations that established headquarters in the sector. (COD, SWDB, UVG, SSOG)

Techno Union Interceptor
This streamlined, lozenge-shaped fighter was developed by the Techno Union, and was part of the naval fleet of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. (TCG10)

Technobeast
These unusual, fearsome beasts were once organic creatures that had been injected with a technovirus that was made up of miniature forms of automata that were created by the ancient Sith Lord Belia Darzu. Each tiny technovirus was capable of being inserted into the living body of another creature, where it destroyed the frontal lobes of the brain and rewrote the beast's genetic codes. In order to provide the Technobeasts with the intelligence they needed, Darzu used the mechu-deru technique to imbue them with the energy of the Dark Side of the Force. The entire process of creating a technobeast became known as mechu-deru vitae. Technobeasts were often created from various creatures found in the galaxy, but could also humanoid forms, or they could be formed from amalgams of body parts. In this way, an army of these creatures was created to instill fear in, as much as to destroy, Darzu's enemies.

The use of technobeasts was most prevalent during the Sictis Wars that occurred from 1,250 to 1,230 years before the Battle of Yavin. During the fighting, a Jedi Knight became infected with a technovirus, and became known to the other Jedi as the "technobeast Jedi" when he was able to retain his identity through the Force. Luckily for the rest of the galaxy, Belia Darzu was murdered by her followers, and the few technbeasts she had created were trapped in her fortress on Tython. Over the centuries that followed, their flesh decayed, leaving behind just the mechanical frame. They congregated in the lower chambers of the fortress, drawn together by the nexus of Dark Side power that kept them alive.

When Darth Bane found the fortress and began searching for the Holocron of Belia Darzu, he was forced to fight his way through the surviving technobeasts, cutting them to pieces in order to reach the holocron. Thus, the remaining technobeasts were finally destroyed. (OWS, NEGD, DBRT)

Technobeast Jedi
This was the popular term used to describe the lone Jedi Knight who was infected with a Sith-created technovirus during the Sictis Wars, some 250 years before the Battle of Ruusan. Through intense concentration on the Light Side of the Force, this Jedi Knight was able to retain his identity, and remained an active member of the Jedi Order for several decades before he died. (NEGD)

Technomic Research Foundation
An educational foundation which deals with the enhancement of droids. (COJ)

Technovirus
This was the term used to describe the nanodroids that were developed by Sith Lord Belia Darzu and imbued with the Dark Side of the Force with the mechu-deru technique to become "alive." These technoviruses could be injected into the body of a living being and allowed to replicate, turning the being into a half-living, half-droid monstrosity known as a technobeast. The technovirus acted by attacking the frontal lobes of a creature's brain, cutting off its ability to think for itself and allowing the technovirus to insert its own programming to take over the creature's actions.

Because they were so tiny, technoviruses could be injected into a living creature, or they could be expelled in a cloud by an infected creature and inhaled by a non-infected creature. This allowed the technovirus to passed from creature to creature, adding to the army that Belia Darzu planned to use to take over the galaxy. Unfortunately, Belia Darzu was assassinated by her followers, and the few technobeasts that she had successfully created were trapped within the walls of her fortress. The flesh on these technobeasts decayed over time, leaving behind only the mechanical frames. (NEGD, DBRT)

Techrat
This was a term used to describe a being who relies too heavily on technology. On some worlds where technology was shunned in favor of a more natural existence, it can describe a being who desires the status they believe high technology can bring them. (PTR)

Techscreen 1
This was one of the most powerful starship shield generators produced by Incom Industries, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Techscreen 2

Techscreen Elite
This was the most powerful starship shield generator produced by Incom Industries, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

TechSpan 1
This was a specialized interface module that was produced for the E-3PO series of protocol droids during the height of the New Order. E-3PO units with the TechSpan 1 module installed were able to interface with the myriad of technologies that made up Imperial computer systems. Often, these technologies were developed by third-party vendors or subcontractors, and the documentation was sketchy or non-existent. The E-3PO droids could interface with these disparate technologies, allowing Imperial engineers to perform their jobs without having to remember each and every interface protocol. (SWDB)

Teckla
This given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Tector
This Sullustan transport group was used to carry technical staff to the rendezvous with the Alliance, prior to the Battle of Yavin. (XW, XWP)

Tector-class Star Destroyer
This hangarless variant of the Old Republic's largest warships was produced near the end of the Clone Wars. (X3)

Teda, Roy
This short-statured Romin ruled the planet Romin with an iron fist, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Teda had been identified by the Galactic Senate as being in violation of many galactic laws, including torture, embezzlement, and unjust imprisonment of political and personal rivals. It was also believed that he had rigged the elections so that he would be chosen as Romin's leader. Once in office, he altered Romin's laws to make it impossible for offworlders to arrest or transport criminals from Romin. This allowed him to expand his personal wealth by offering Romin as a refuge for all manner of criminals. Distinguished by his multicolored robes, Roy Teda presented visitors and prospective homeowners with a personable demeanor that bordered on cloying condescension. In exchange for being able to live in relative peace on Romin, criminals agreed to pay Teda huge sums of credits, and allowed him to have security access to their properties. Teda then used droid armies to patrol the city of Eliior, ensuring that none of the workers entered the city without authorization. He preferred to be called by the title of Great Leader, but many Romins forced the name out only because it pleased Teda. However, his extravagant lifestyle and demanding leadership took its toll on his supporters, and many of his personal guards began to simply leave his services, several years prior to the Battle of Geonosis. He was forced to backfill them with guard droids, but he could only afford a handful of operative units. When the Citizens' Resistance launched their rebellion, Teda was forced to flee his palace and hide in a safehouse, well outside the city of Eliior, with Jenna Zan Arbor. They requested a meeting with the Slams, who were actually Obi-Wan Kenobi, Siri Tachi, Anakin Skywalker, and Ferus Olin in disguise. It was at this point that Teda realized he was no longer in control of Romin, as Zan Arbor asserted herself as the leader of their group. However, their plans were cut short when Mace Windu and a group of Jedi reinforcements landed on Romin and captured them both. They were turned over to Joylin for sentencing, but Joylin simply allowed them to reach the real Slams and escape Romin, thereby solidifying his own position of leadership. Teda and his cohorts fled to Falleen, where they had been building the Blackwater Systems facility to test distribution methods for the Zone of Self-Containment. They were forced to flee to Coruscant when the Jedi followed them to Falleen, but they were able to gain an audience with the Senate through Bog Divinian. Roy Teda spoke eloquently against the Jedi Order, using subtle twists of the truth and outright lies to spin a tale of how the Jedi were behind his ouster. Unknown to Teda, however, was the fact that Granta Omega considered him expendable, an asset to be used and then thrown away. Teda realized this was Omega launched his Zone-laden seeker droids on the Senate, and one of the seeker droids targetted him specifically. Despite the efforts of Ferus Olin to protect both Palpatine and Teda, a seeker droid managed to get a clear shot, and killed Teda with a single blast to the chest. (JQ8, JQ9)

Teda Estates
This was the name used by the workers of the city of Eliior to describe their hovels and shacks, which were situated outside the Cloudflower Wall, on the planet Romin. (JQ8)

Tedel
This planet was known for its higher than standard gravity. (COG)

Tedellian Besiioth
This formidable creature's most awesome feature, at least according to poets and other literary types, were its eyes. Writers often overlooked its sharp talons, heavy fangs, and thick musculature and focused on the cold, red eyes which stared a victim into submission. Native to the high-gravity world of Tedel, this low-bodied predator could measure up to two meters in length. There were seven distinct subspecies of besiioth, each distinguished by its coloration and size. Another species, known as the stalker besiioth, had been genetically developed for use as a security and patrol beast. (COG)

Tedevium
This was the name of a starfighter pilot training frigate used by the New Republic a few years after the Battle of Endor. Colonel Repness was assigned to a command post aboard the Nebulon-B frigate, shortly before his black market schemes were exposed by Lara Notsil. After Lara exposed Repness' operation, command of the Tedevium was turned over to Edor Crespin. Because the New Republic was short on fighting vessels during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj, the Tedevium was quickly refitted for combat use and added to General's Solo's fleet. (IF, SOC)

Tedryn
This ancient Jedi Master was believed to have been the creator of the holocron that became known as the Tedryn Holocron. Master Tedryn was the holocron's first gatekeeper. (EGF)

Tedryn Holocron
One of the Jedi Holocrons, the Tedryn Holocron was believed to have been created by the ancient Jedi Master Tedryn, who may have also been its first gatekeeper. Odan-Urr was also one of its early gatekeepers, imparting his own knowledge to the device some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Jedi Master Vodo Siosk-Baas later acquired it, and also served as its gatekeeper. Master Vodo collected a wealth of knowledge and information about the Great Sith War within the crystalline matrix of the Tedryn Holocron, specifically about the life of Ulic Qel-Droma. The holocron was passed down through the generations within the Jedi Order, and eventually came into the possession of one of Master Vodo's descendants, Bodo Baas. About 600 years before the Battle of Yavin, Bodo Baas discovered a way to store more information in the Tedryn Holocron, adding a prophecy about the struggles of a brother and sister against an evil Dark Lord. This prophecy had first been recited by Bodo Baas' own Master nearly a millennia earlier. Master Bodo also learned how to add his own personality into the holocron, and became one of its gatekeepers.

The Tedryn Holocron remained in the possession of the Jedi Order until it was stolen from Jedi Master Ashka Boda by Darth Sidious, in the wake of the Clone Wars. Palpatine held the holocron for many years, until it was recovered by Leia Organa Solo on Byss. Her fight against Palpatine's clone, including Luke Skywalker's fall to the Dark Side to join Palpatine, seemed to have been the events that were chronicled by Bodo Baas in his prophecy. After Palpatine was defeated, the Tedryn Holocron was turned over to the new Jedi Order that was being founded by Luke Skywalker. Skywalker called the device the Jedi Holocron, since he was unaware of its true history until he delved into its mysteries on his own.

Skywalker discovered that the gatekeepers of the Tedryn Holocron could access and draw upon the input of other gatekeepers, since Vodo Siosk-Baas told Luke about his own murder at the hands of Exar Kun. It was also known as a Holocron of Bodo Baas, since his image as the gatekeeper was discovered first. The Tedryn Holocron remained on Yavin 4 until it was destroyed by the spirit of Exar Kun. (TSW, EGF)

Tedryn-Sha
One of the reborn Emperor Palpatine's personal advisers, Tedryn-Sha was promoted to second-in-command of Operation Shadow Hand after Sedriss and Vill Goir were killed on Ossus. Palpatine granted him the powers of Dark Jedi as part of the promotion. He was then sent to New Alderaan, following the destruction of the Republic's Pinnacle Base, to kill Luke Skywalker. In the battle that ensued, Tedryn-Sha killed Jem Ysanna, but was in turn slain by Princess Leia, who used her lightsaber to cleave the Dark Jedi in two. (DE2)

Tee
One of the multitude of species of scalefish which inhabit the seas of Naboo, the tee was a large, rotund fish which had bright red scales. It was a voracious feeder, and large specimens were known to have swallowed hapless Gungans whole. These huge fish were often infested with yobshrimp, and had developed a symbiotic relationship with the laa, allowing the smaller fish to enter their gills to clean off the parasitic yobshrimp. (IG1, WSW)

Tee, Jode
This man was one of the New Republic Intelligence agents sent to meet Major Showolter aboard the Queen of Empire, during the transfer of the Yuuzhan Vong priestess Elan to Coruscant. He had been working on Bilbringi prior to being assigned to the mission. The mission was compromised by a source internal to the New Republic, and the Peace Brigade infiltrated the ship. Two members of the Peace Brigade contacted Showolter before Jode Tee and his partner, Saiga Bre'lya, and posed as the NRI agents. Jode and Saiga arrived just after the false agents, and a firefight broke out. Both Jode Tee and Saiga Bre'lya were shot and killed in the struggle. (HT)

Tee ava un puffee lumpa?
This Huttese question literally meant "Is there a smoking section here?" (GMR5)

Tee ka low carbon
This Ewokese statement translated loosely into Basic as "He was frozen in carbonite." (E6, GPB)

Teebo
An Ewok serving on his tribe's Council of Elders, Teebo was the leader of the war party that discovered Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, R2-D2, and Chewbacca just before the Battle of Endor. He wore a horned gurreck skull decorated with churi feathers, and was larger and fiercer than most of the other Ewoks. When Teebo was a young Ewok, he helped his tribe drive off the Duloks, with the help of the Grundakk. He was then chosen by Logray to be his apprentice, and learned to be a musician, a poet, and to tell the future from the positions of the stars. Note that The Adventures of Teebo and the Ewoks cartoon series indicate Teebo was a young Ewok, not old enough to have become an adult. (E6, AT, ECAR, E6R, CCG10)

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

Teebo
According to Ewok legend, this tree spirit once convinced Machook not to harm the forests. (GCG)

Teeda
This woman was an ancient Empress of the Arkanis Sector. In her honor, the planets Pii III and Pii IV were often referred to as "Teeda's Eyes." (SWJ6)

Teeda's Eyes
A nickname given to the twin planets of Pii III and Pii IV. Their forested surfaces appear green in space, and reminded the ancient inhabitants of the Arkanis Sector of Empress Teeda's green eyes. (SWJ6)

Teedio
This unstable star formed the center of the Teedio System, which was noted as the location of Exis Station. Teedio had been stable for many millennia, but started to deteriorate during the last centuries of the Old Republic. As the star began to give off rare and unusual gases and elements, miners began taking over parts of Exis Station to serve as bases for their operations. Eventually, Teedio grew too dangerous, and the mining efforts were abandoned. Luke Skywalker and Tionne were later responsible for moving Exis Station to a safer orbit, keeping it away from Teedio and allowing parties to explore the station. At the start of the New Republic, Teedio belched solar flares and heavy radiation into space every nine years or so, giving exploration teams and investigators a chance to escape before subsequent flares created problems. (SWJ15, KB)

Teedio System
This star system was known as the location of Exis Station, even during the early decades of the New Republic. (KB)

Teedle
This was the nickname used to describe the TDL-501 waitress droid that served at the Rimsoo Seven cantina, on the planet Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. Her auditory programming provided Teedle with a sassy, female voice, and a regular popping sound was added to give the impression that she was chewing gum. When Teedle realized that the force-dome that protected the Rimsoo Seven base required a specialized power unit, she found that her own YX-90 drive unit was compatible with that of the force-dome. Rather than see her patrons killed, Teedle volunteered to be deactivated, and donated the YX-90 to the technicians. (MJH)

Teedle
This was a generic term used to describe the TDL-501 series of service droids. (NEGD)

Teedra, Rall
This man served as the leader of Bethal's Commerce Council during the years surrounding the Battle of Yavin. Teedra instituted the aggressive apocia tree replanting operations that occurred after swarms of greddleback termites ravaged the trees in the Altoona and Dora Prefectures. (SWJ4, OWS)

Teeha
This was the Ewok word for "thank you". (BTRKS26)

Teeha dupav vay kommah
This Ewok phrase translated into Basic as "Thank you for your kind hospitality". (GPB)

Teehl
This freelance mercenary worked for Jabba the Hutt as an enforcer. Teehl wore a well-worn black-and-gold spacesuit topped with a polarized faceplate that hides her face. She started out as the favorite mistress of a powerful pirate, and worked and saved until the day she could buy her own ship. That ship was the Grasp, and she went solo as soon as she could afford it. She was ordered by Jabba to recover a gravity-well projector controlled by the Ugors, some time after the Battle of Yavin. The Alliance and the Squibs were after the same projector, hoping to use the device to pull the Elusive out of hyperspace before it could deliver Alliance datapacks to the Empire. (SH)

Teejay
This was the name of the navigation droid that had been converted by Lalo Gunn to serve as a waiter at her restaurant, Gunn's Diner, during the era of the Clone Wars. Teejay was a fully-programming 2JTJ navigational droid when it was first produced, and was purchased by Lalo Gunn to server aboard her transport vessel, the Hasty Harpy. When she was grounded on Kynachi about two years before the Battle of Geonosis, she converted the starship into a restaurant, and tasked Teejay with waiting tables while she took care of the rest of the business. This frustrated the droid, whose personality turned more surly as the months turned into years. The appearance of Nuru Kungurama and his clone troopers at the restaurant drew the attention of the Federation, which dispacthed a group of battle droids to investigate. When they droids learned that the newcomers were part of a Republic task force, they tried to attack the restaurant. Teejay was bussing some tables when the battle droids arrived, and the battle droids fired on the waiter droid, smashing Teejay to pieces. Lalo and the others managed to repair Teejay and reprogram him to serve as a battle droid, but the droid's personality seemed more mechanical and lacked any hint of emotion. When the group tried to get him to use a shock-stick, Teejay deftly caught the weapon and brandished it in front of himself, prompting clone trooper Knuckles to give him the nickname Cleaver. (SM1)

Teek
This was the spoken language of the Teeks, which were native to the Forest Moon of Endor. (GMR9)

Teek
For lack of a better name, this was the name used by one of the Teeks on the Forest Moon of Endor. Teek served as his race's representative to the many unusual races that visited the moon, including the native Ewoks. Teek himself became attached to Noa Briqualon, and lived with him for many years. When Noa left for Coruscant with Cindel Towani, Teek went to lived with Deej Warrick and the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village. (BFE, SWDB)

Teek
A small, white-furred creature living in the Forest Moon of Endor, the teek had incredible speed but not a lot of agility. The average teek had close-set black eyes, buck-teeth, and pointed ears with tufts of white fur on them. Despite their appearance, teeks were semi-intelligent, and could communicate with other beings, albeit with great difficulty. The Ewoks avoided the teeks at all costs, considering them sure signs of trouble ahead. They were the packrats of the moon's forests, taking shiny trinkets and tokens and exchanging them for something of equal value. For many, the teek's idea of what was equal in value was often skewed. At the time of the Battle of Endor, there were very few teeks living in the forest. It was believed that the teek was not originally native to the Endor Moon, but was part of the cargo aboard a Starhunter Intergalactic Menagerie transport that was stranded on the moon some 800 years before the Battle of Yavin. (BFE, ISU, SWDB, OWS)

Teek
This Zygerrian male served as part of Captain Onyx's slaver crew, during the era of the Clone Wars. (TCW1)

Teeket
When translated into Basic, this Ewok word meant "heart." (GPB)

Teeko
This Rodian male was one of Greedo's many uncles. (TME)

Teeks, Edbit
This Old Republic Intelligence agent was dispatched top Tarhassan during the build-up to the Clone Wars, as the planetary government made rumblings about joining the Separatists. Just before the Battle of Geonosis, his partner retired, and his superiors decided not to provide a replacement. Thus, Teeks was on his own on Tarhassan when the Clone Wars began. Six days before the Tarhassan government opted to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Teeks disappeared. A mission team, gathered from untrained agents picked from various low-level Republic agencies, was put together to rescue him. Led by Cherek Tuhm, the team included Tinian Hanther, Livintius Sazet, Joram Kithe, and Mapper Gann. While Tuhm and his fellow administrators labored over plan details, Joram and Mapper simply went out and hunted Teeks down. They discovered that he had been abducted by Tarhassan Planetary Security while eating at Corgan's Gustatorium, and had not been betrayed by his lover, Zazana Renkel. The pair convinced their teammates to launch a daring rescue attempt, which succeeded in liberating Teeks from prison. His innocence and loyalty to the Republic remained in question, and Teeks was returned to Coruscant for debriefing. (SWI73, OWS)

Teeks and Ewoks
This was a childs' game that was popular during the height of the New Republic. (DN1)

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

Teeku
This Rodian smuggler was one of a small group that worked for Janvar Jan, during the final years of the Old Republic. Teeku worked with Koobis and Nawara Blen, flying the fourth Star Yacht Jan had purchased when he set up Cularin Star Tours. The smugglers worked with pirates in the Cularin System to acquire illegal goods, then sent out a "distress call" from one of three false transponder codes that were installed in their ship. In this way, the transfer of goods from the pirates to the search and rescue vessel Starchaser IV would be interpreted as a rescue operation, and therefore not subject to most customs searches.

The group found themselves temporarily out of work when Jan was exposed by the freelance crew he hired to fill in for the normal crew of the Starchaser IV. (REPL)

Teel
The wood of this tree was considered moderately valuable, and was used in elaborate furniture and art. (XWA)

Teela

Teelian's Electronic Emporium
This small business, located in Celanon City, sold all sorts of high-tech products, both legal and illegal. (POC)

Teelo
This Rodian male was a close friend of Renna, until his untimely death just before the end of the Clone Wars. He had traveled to the Cularin System with a group of agents who were working for Nirama, but Teelo found himself without a steady job as a pilot for several months. He ended up working part-time for Renna, flying transports when he wasn't taking jobs for Nirama. An honest male who always made sure he returned Renna's ships with full fuel cells and without scratches, Teelo was also loyal to Nirama, and it was this unspoken loyalty that attracted Renna to him. Their relationship deepened over the three years that Teelo worked for Renna, and they became romantically involved. Although Teelo revealed that he was in debt to Nirama from the purchase of his own starship, he refused to accept any credits from Renna to pay off the debt. Unfortunately for everyone, Teelo was tracked to Tilnes on a run by agents who were working for Riboga, who were looking to cramp Nirama's operations in any way possible. Teelo completed his run and was returning to see Renna when Riboga's goons shot his ship down, and Teelo died in the fiery crash. (LFCW)

Teeloo
This Rodian lived in the city of Tolea Biqua, in orbit around the planet Genarius, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (POB)

Teem, Ainlee
This Old Republic politician, a Gran from the planet of Malastare, was one of the three candidates selected to replace Chancellor Valorum, after Queen Amidala of Naboo called for a vote of no-confidence in Valorum's abilities. (E1, IS1)

Tee-muss
This unusual creature was domesticated by the short-statured Felucians for use as a mount. The long-legged tee-muss had two knee-joints in each leg, allowing the tee-muss to bend down to graze for food. The flat head of the tee-muss was protected by two horns that grew from the sides of its head. (CWTV39)

Tee-my
This was a human slang term that was the phonetic spelling of the acronym TMAI, which stood for Throw Money At It. This term used used to describe an architectural policy by which a builder or mechanic chose to solve a given problem by spending more credits to purchase whatever was needed to fix it. (DSTR)

Teep, Burbakker
This male Gran was a noted smuggler and weapons runner during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, until he was captured and brought to justice by Jango Fett. The Republic Security Force enlisted the aid of bounty hunters after Teep was implicated in the destruction of several RSF facilities. (BH)

Teep, Dakorse
This young man was pressed into duty as a starfighter pilot with Rogue Squadron, in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. Teep served as Rogue Seven during his tenure with the squadron, although his tenure was unfortunately short. During a Yuuzhan Vong airraid on the Borleias base, Teep's fighter took damage as it left the hangar, when the hangar was destroyed by a plasma ball. His fighter careened out of control and crashed into the jungle. Teep died in the resulting explosion. (EL2)

Teepo
This Jedi Knight was one of the first to advocate the use of blasters and other weapons, in addition to lightsabers. This belief ran counter to the teachings of the Jedi during the Old Republic, when the use of the Force was limited to defensive actions, rather than attacks. Teepo was eventually ostracized for his beliefs, and many of his followers decided to join him in forming the group that became known as the Teepo Paladins. Teepo held that his followers needed to commune with the Force, and seek oneness at all times, regardless of the militant nature of their beliefs. While some members of the Jedi Order saw Teepo's expulsion as extremist, others claimed that he deserved it because his beliefs bordered on the Dark Side of the Force. (CN1)

Teepo Paladins
This group of former Jedi Knights was originally formed by a Jedi named Teepo, who believed that Jedi should use blasters and other weapons, in addition to the traditional lightsaber. Teepo was expelled from the Jedi Order for his beliefs, and many of those who agreed with his beliefs decided to leave the Order as well. They formed the Teepo Paladins, and while they were more militant than the Jedi Order, Teepo and his followers still emphasized the need to commune with the Force. Despite this stance, the Teepo Paladins were regarded as Dark Siders by many members of the Jedi Order. (CN1)

Teera
When translated into Basic, this Ewok word meant "only." (GPB)

Teerik
This Rodian was a noted savrip hunter, working on the planet Ord Mantell during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GMR1, WOA15)

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

Teerlop-zikody
This side dish often accompanied grilled kabobs of enyak meat. (SWJ11)

Teers
This was one of the most common Gungan surnames, taking from the father's side of the family. These surnames were not dropped, even after marriage. This name referred to a species of coral found in the oceans of Naboo, which was used to make weapons. (GCG)

Teers
This species of blue coral was native to Naboo. It was used by the Gungans to create a variety of weapons. (GCG)

Teers, Rep
This Gungan served on the Rep Council, the governmental body that ruled the underwater city of Otoh Gunga, serving under Boss Nass. Teers was appointed to her position by Boss Nass, and was in charge of all the city's power supplies. (IG1, E1A9, OWS)

Teesaw
This Huttese word was used to indicate at cruiser-class starship. (GMR5)

Teetch
This was a common name among the Menahuun people. (UANT)

Teeth of Tatooine
Also known as the Valley of the Wind, this was a smooth-floored gulley near Jabba the Hutt's palace. The Hutt used it to punish those beings that deserved a quicker death than the Sarlacc pit, allowing them to dream up images of fanged monsters before realizing their position. In fact, the Teeth of Tatooine were wind-blown chips of desert sandstone and silica. The being was tied to the valley floor just past dawn, with leather hides wrapped and tied around each limb. As the temperature rises, the winds pick up and the victim begins to sweat. The sweat loosens the leather briefly, giving the victim reason to struggle. However, the leather simply tightens as it rubs the victim's skin raw and bleeding. The valley was situated such that great gusts of wind rip through it, pushed by the intensely-changing temperatures. The winds pick up small flechettes of stone and propel them through the valley, but the weight of the stones keeps them low to the ground. The stones have been sharpened by scraping along other stones, and become tooth-like knives. The wind-driven stones flay the victim alive. (TBH)

Tee-tocky
This was the Huttese word for "time." (GMR5)

Teeubo
This was a common name given to Twi'lek females, and meant "treasure" in the Twi'leki language. (GCG)

Teevan
This humanoid race was native to the planet Teevan. Teevans were known for their incredible flexibility, which came from the fact that their limbs seemed to be made from rubber. Their skin and eyes had silvery coloration, and a Teevan could literally cross their legs several times over without injury. (JQ1)

Teevan
This planet was the homeworld of the Teevan race. (JQ1)

Teezl
This unusual creature was believed to have been extinct by the time Emperor Palaptine rose to power. Known colloquially as a screamer, it was a natural hyperspace communications amplifier, and could communicate across the galaxy almost instantaneously with its counterparts or other machine-based hyperspace receivers. A teezl lacked a true form, resembling a large swirl of bluish light that dazzled the eyes and bewildered the mind.Initial study showed that the teezl was non-sentient, and lacked any kind of feelings or senses. A single, surviving teezl was discovered by the Empire, and Emperor Palpatine dispatched one of the largest Imperial fleets, under the command of Admiral Giel, to bring the teezl back to Coruscant. However, their mission was discovered by the Alliance, which managed to infiltrate Admiral Giel's fleet and destroy the teezl. (PH, MC61)

Teezyk
This Rodian was trained on his homeworld of Rodia in all manner of combat, including the use of firearms and hand-to-hand fighting. Although he became something of a hero for his exploits in the arena, he eventually discovered that the galaxy at large had more to offer. Many years before the Clone Wars, he left Rodia for several years, taking up a career as a bounty hunter and excelling as no Rodian had before. He was well-respected by the Hutts, who hired him for their most dangerous or important missions. Teezyk gradually tired of the hunt, and retired from actual service to return to Rodia. However, for the right price, Teezyk often came out of retirement. He often claimed that he had only failed to complete one mission in his entire career, and that was only because the being who hired him had called off the hunt before it could be completed. (UA)

Tefau
This planet was the homeworld of a tall, blue-skinned race of aliens. They have large, thin heads which were dominated by a pair of nasal slits in the center. A small mouth was located just below the nostrils. Their eyes bulge out from the disk-shaped head, which was ridged at the edges. (CCG9)

Teff
This was the alias used by young Boba Fett, during his escape from Raxus Prime, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. He used the Teff alias when he was rescued by a clone trooper which had arrived on the planet as part of an Old Republic task force searching for Count Dooku. (BF2)

T'Egal, Pi
This Old Republic Senator was known as a friend of the Jedi Knights. He was appointed to lead the committee which was formed to investigate the death of Bruck Chun at the Jedi Temple, on Coruscant, when Vox Chun demanded in inquest. (JAD)

Tegg
This Ugnaught worked as a technician aboard the Esfandia Long-Range Communications Base, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Unknown to his comrades, Tegg was also a member of the Peace Brigade. It was Tegg, not the Noghri Eniknar, who brought a villip into the base, allowing the Yuuzhan Vong to discover its location. Tegg was apprehended by Fan Gantree and Leia Organa Solo, and Leia used the Force to render Tegg unconscious before he could escape. (FH3)

Teggett
This New Republic X-Wing pilot was assigned to the Mandjur during the Battle of N'zoth. He flew an X-Wing which was painted vivid red and recognizable by the entire crew. When the Mandjur was hit with a pair of Yevethan missiles, Plat Mallar was forced to take Teggett's fighter out and rescue several other pilots who were in trouble. (TT)

Teguar
This addictive substance was peddled on many backwater worlds, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (CVD)

Teguta Lusat
This was the largest of the cities found on Rafa IV, and was home to the planet's primary spaceport. Because of this, Teguta Lusat served as the planetary capital of Rafa IV, as well as the capital of the entire Rafa System. Almost like the native Toka, Teguta Lusat was a drab, soulless city. Lando Calrissian landed in the city during the early years of the New Order while attempting to acquire the droid Vuffi Raa, only to discover that he had picked up a number of pregnant mynocks while traveling through the Oseon System. This got him in trouble with the spaceport's Landing Control. (LCM)

Teguta Lusat Interstellar Spaceport
This was the primary spaceport of the Rafa System, located in the city of Teguta Lusat, on the planet Rafa IV. (LCM)

Teh
This H'kig glyph was so sacred that was cannot be written out, and was often spoken as simply "t'." Its meaning was translated into "the transcendant." (SOL)

Teh Manda'yaim
This Mandalorian phrase loosely translated into Basic as "members of the Mando." (RCTC)

Teh'Jar II
This planet, located in the Minos Cluster, was rumored to be the resting place of the Um'Tal, or Sky Stone. Both Angrail Ryhl and Nardo Sau sought the artifact during the New Order. Both had to struggle against Imperial bureaucracy to just reach the planet. (HR)

Tehk'la

Teirra Parko
This expansive entertainment facility was located in the city of Recardeon, on the planet Rimma, during the height of the New Order. The Teirra Parko was known for its luxurious barrooms, which were exemplified by the Crystal Room. (SWJ3, OWS)

Tejere, Gavrilonnis
This Givin was apprehended by Mace Windu and Yoda, shortly after it was discovered that he was sabotaging the Yag'Dhul ambassadorial landing pad on Coruscant, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. Tejere was caught trying to disable the platform's repulsorlifts by co-worker Jujiran Halbeet, who was subsequently shot by Tejere. The two Jedi Masters happened to be nearby, returning from a meeting, and rescued Halbeet before disarming Tejere and taking him into custody. Initial investigation showed that Tejere had no direct affiliation with the Separatists, however. (HNN5)

Tejha Larel
This portrait of Lady Cjaalysce Beal was painted shortly before her dead. In the portrait, she appeared sad and withdrawn. History revealed that the painting was done shortly after her love, Iann Doaba, exiled himself into the open desert after killing a rival for her love. Cjaalysce only loved Iann, and fled into the desert to bring him back. She died in the desert, but only after locating Iann's possessions. The name of the portrait was an Old Corellian phrase which meant "undying love." (BSS)

Tejrivozs
This barren world was the third and outermost planet in the Riflorii System. The environment on Tejrivozs was highly variable, and ranged from frozen to searing as it passed the three stars that formed the center of the system. Despite its unusual climates, Tejrivozs served as a haven for smugglers and gamblers, and was a noted source of information brokers. The orbital path of Tejrivozs was oval in shape, and gave the planet a local year that lasted some seventeen standard years. It brought the planet close to the Riflorii stars for a short time, before swinging the planet well out into space. (GMR4)

Tek
This Jawa traveled the stars and landed on the planet Otunia, shortly before the Battle of Endor. Using his skills as a scavenger, Tek managed to survive in the deep desert, outside the view of Kabul Industries. He made a living helping the moisture farmers repair their equipment, but was forced into hiding when an ignorant farmer misused a piece of equipment Tek had repaired. It blew up, and so did the farmer, and a bounty was placed on Tek's head. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Tek rescued Grissom and Arista Kabul from an attack by Arista's uncle, Seth. Grissom devised a plan to turn in Tek for the 12,000-credit bounty on his head, then Grissom and Arista blasted the little alien out of prison. Before leaving Otunia, Arista planned to meet with her Uncle Seth in order to remove the ankle restraint she was wearing. As payback for his murder of her father, Arista used the bounty money to purchase explosives. Employing Tek's knowledge of explosives and Grissom's knowledge of the mines, Arista placed bombs throughout the mines. She then confronted Seth, demanding that he remove the ankle bracelet that was keeping her tied to Otunia. As payback for the murder of her father, Arista then set off Tek's bombs, utterly destroying the mines and leaving Seth - and Kabul Industries - without anything. (T3)

Tek Swee
Literally meaning "head hitter", this was the Ewok name for a trap in which a heavy log was suspended on rope-like vines from a sturdy tree. When released, the log swung down and out from its holding position, crashing into anything in its path. The Ewoks originally developed the tek swee to ambush the Gorax, but pairs of tek swee were used with great success against Imperial AT-ST walkers during the Battle of Endor. (GMR9)

Tekar
This sprawling meglopolis was the largest city found on the Derilyn, and was the site of Derilyn Space Central, the planet's central spaceport authority. (PG3, OE)

Tekba
This Mon Calamari starship Captain with the New Republic was in command of the troopship Pelagia when it was destroyed by the reborn Emperor's Galaxy Gun. (EE)

Teke Ro
The blue giant star which was the primary sun of the planet Cona. (SCRE, GG4)

Tekkirl, Flinor
This Alliance scout joined the rebellion a few years before the Battle of Yavin. He searched for worlds which were removed from Imperial notice, yet capable of supporting life. He was very good at his work, but preferred to work alone. He was given the command of the Atrivis Advancer for his scouting missions. (CRO)

Teklet
This settlement, located on the planet Qiilura, was the site of a major depot and the only spaceport on the planet, during the last years of the Old Republic. The Separatist forces that took control of Qiilura used it as their primary export location for barq and kushayan grains, as well as military materiel. Much of the city, including the primary communications center, was destroyed by the clone commandos of Omega Squad, during their mission to capture Ovolot Qail Uthan and destroy her clone-killing nanovirus. The Grand Army of the Republic then established its base of operations in the city, to coordinate the extradition of the human settlers on the planet. (RCHC, RCTC)

Tekli
This Chadra-Fan was a student of the Force at Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, training under the tutelage of Cilghal during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Tekli assisted Cilghal on the Eclipse Project before joining the strike team which went to Myrkr to destroy the voxyn queen. She was one of the survivors of the mission to Myrkr, and returned to the planet Calamari to rejoin Cilghal after the loss of Coruscant to the Yuuzhan Vong. Later, when the Imperial Remnant was attacked and Bastion was destroyed, Tekli developed a deep friendship with Saba Sebatyne, who had discovered an ability to read a being's lifesigns through the Force. When Luke Skywalker launched a mission to locate the planet Zonama Sekot, Tekli was assigned to his task force as a healer and medic. Her skills were put to use in an unusual way almost as soon as the mission got started, when Tekli found herself struggling to keep Imperial Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon alive after the Jedi stumbled upon the Battle of Bastion. After the Yuuzhan Vong finally surrendered at Coruscant some five years after the invasion began, Tekli decided to stay on Zonama Sekot with Tahirir Veila, the Ferroans, and the Yuuzhan Vong. She hoped to learn more about the ways in which Yuuzhan Vong Shapers worked with various lifeforms, in an effort to discover new ways to help cure beings throughout the galaxy. Five years later, when UnuThul sent out his call for help, Tekli was among seven young Jedi who dropped whatever mission they were currently on and traveled to the Unknown Regions to answer the call. Unlike Jaina Solo and Zekk, Tekli did not become a Joiner, and later returned to full service in Master Skywalker's new Jedi order. During the final conflict of the Swarm War, Tekli worked with Cilghal to serve as advisors to Supreme Commander Gilad Pellaeon, who traveled to Sarm as military backup to Master Skywalker's strike force. Master Skywalker's mission was to eliminate Lomi Plo and sever UnuThul's contact with the Colony, and Tekli's role was to warn Pellaeon in case Luke's mission failed. (BP, SBS, FH1, UF, DN1, DN3)

Teklos
This was the civilian version of Nen-Carvon's heavy-duty mobile command base. It differed from the base military model in locomotion: the Teklos vehicle was equipped with repulsorlift engines, where the mobile command base had treads. However, despite its commercial goals, the Teklos vehicle found its way into the fleets of pirates and criminal organizations. Like the mobile command base, it measured 21.8 meters in length, and carried a crew of 5 and up to seven passengers. It was armed with a turret-mounted triple-laser cannon and a pair of concussion grenade launchers. (GG11)

Tekonite
This substance was unique in that it vaporized when bombarded by kinetic energy. Thus, it could be used to sublimate the effects of a collision, as it could absorb some 92 percent of the kinetic energy developed in a crash. (BI)

Tekra Point
This aging colony ship was stolen from Imperial service by a group of Alliance agents, and refitted with one agent's personal fortune. The huge ship often served as a drop-off point for the bounty hunter Chenlambec, who worked to get important individuals out of harm's way. (SWJ10)

Teksa
This was one of the many Twi'leki clans which were native to the planet Ryloth. In the Twi'leki language, the clan's name meant "trustworthy". (GCG)

Tekshar Falls Casino
This casino was located in Kuat City, on the planet Kuat, during the years following the Swarm War. Like many other buildings in the city, the Tekshar Falls Casino was considered as excessive as it was arcitecturally spectacular. A river diverted into the center of the city's entertainment district, providing the casino with hydroelectric power and a simulated waterfall that fell over its main entrance. This raging waterfall was lit from within, giving the rushing water an incredible glimmer and shine.

The entrance to the casino was actually through the waterfall, which plunged some 500 meters from the river's diverted path. Automatic force fields detected the presence of incoming patrons, and parted the waterfall to allow them to enter the casino without getting wet.

The lobby of the casino was no less impressive, with extravangant decorations that made it appear as if Tirual Construction Holdings, the owners of the casino, had bet each other on how many credits they could spend on any given section. The lobby had two smaller sections, one that led to the restaurant and one that led to the main casinos. (LF5)

Tektite
This was a form of glassy, igneous rock that was common throughout the galaxy. (PM)

Tekurr'k
This was a backwater industrial world. (POC)

Tel
This small, white dwarf star was the central body of the Tel System, located in Brak Sector. The system was known as the Green System because it was actually a planetary nebula, and the star's light made the gases of the nebula appear to glow with a greenish light. (FBS)

Tel
This was the name most often used to describe the planet Tel III. (FBS)

Tel
This man served as a Sergeant in the 35th Infantry of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Sergeant Tel was one of the many non-clone officers who served in the GAR. He was assigned to coordinating the efforts of starships in orbit with the ground-based assault, and worked directly with Omega Squad during the elimination of key communications assets in the city of Eyat. (RCTC)

Tel, Rango
A native of Sernpidal, Rango Tel made a name for himself in the circles of minor bounty hunters by stumbling upon his first bounty as the result of a bar brawl. Previously known as a small-time criminal, Tel took the money he earned from this bounty and set out to establish himself as a true bounty hunter. His inexperience showed almost immediately, after he tried to purchase a suit of Mandalorian armor for the job. He ended up buying a cobbled-together vacuum suit, unaware of the fact that he was being duped. The immense, cylindrical helmet soon earned him the nickname "Tank Head." This strange costume did little to turn away Aneesa Dym, the Pa'lowick female whose father was killed by an angry customer. Dym became smitten with Tel after he hunted down her father's killer, and she volunteered her services as pilot, an offer that Tel gladly accepted. When a local crimelord on Sernpidal then hired Tel to assassinate Kam Nale, the rookie bounty hunter and his new pilot set out to confront his quarry on Tatooine. They landed Aneesa's ship, the Dusty Duck, outside Mos Espa, and Tel set out to locate his target. Although he managed to corner Nale in a back alley, Tel was shot and killed by Nale, whose heavy blaster easily pierced Tel's inferior "body armor." Aneesa herself was killed by Darth Maul, and the Dusty Duck was abanonded. (SWDB)

Tel Bollin
This was considered the only true city found on the planet Endregaad, during the early years of the New Order, although Tel Bollin was really just a collection of small settlements and outposts. Like all other settlements on Endregaad, the constituent parts of Tel Bollin were located atop mesas and plateaus, and they were grouped together based on the fact that they shared the same bottomland formation. Located near the center of the city was a collection of pre-Republic ruins, but they were largely unexplored because of local legends that claimed banshees roamed the area and killed any beings they encountered. (TF)

Tel I
This was the innermost planet of the Tel System, located in Brak Sector. It was a small ball of hot rock. (FBS)

Tel II
This was the second planet of the Tel System, located in Brak Sector. It was a small ball of hot rock. (FBS)

Tel III
This remote planet, located in Brak Sector, was the site of the Alliance's Oracle Base, which was established shortly before the Battle of Yavin. The planet itself was a ball of ash-covered rock which was crumbling to dust as it aged. Because of the planet's location within the planetary nebula, the skies of Tel III were greenish in color. (FBS)

Tel IV
This planet was covered with dense rainforests. (COG)

Tel IV
This frozen ball of rock was the fourth, and outermost, planet in the Tel System of Brak Sector. Note that this planet seems to be different than the Tel IV described in Creatures of the Galaxy. (FBS)

Tela
This woman lived in Ahto City, on the planet Manaan, during the era of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)

Tela
This Alliance transport ship was destroyed during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth, while trying to obtain a new hyperdrive technology from the Nharwaak people. The meeting between the Alliance's representatives and the Nharwaak had been ambushed by Imperial forces, and the crew of the Tela tried desparately to escape into hyperspace. However, Maarek Stele witnessed the Tela trying to escape, and shot the ship down. (TIE, TIEP)

Telaan Valley
This was one of many settlements found on the planet Bakura. (EGP)

Telak, Kird
This former Imperial scout served the Navy for six years before he became bored with his work. He fled Imperial service and, using the knowledge of trade routes and transportation schedules, became a pirate. The ability to ambush a ship and make off with its cargo came naturally to Telak, who was known to take a number of risks and still come out ahead. He continued to get bored, bu this only served to push him into more and more daring thefts. He was quite obvious in a crowd, with a crown of fuzzy black hair, expensive clothing which had been carefully aged, and a thin goatee and moustache. (TSK)

Telak's Terrors
This pirate group, led by the charismatic Kird Telak, operated from a based in the underground caves of the planet Seltaya. The base itself was located about 100 meters below the surface of the planet, and was sensor- and enegry-shielded. No external armaments were employed by the pirates, since the only visible evidence of the base were the launch bay doors and the sensor arrays. (TSK)

Telamarch, Yura
This tall, dome-headed humanoid was the ruler of Bezim, and one of the founders of the Station 88 Spaceport. When the founders of the station met with Count Dooku on Null to discuss a possible alliance with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Telamarch decided to side with Lorian Nod and throw his support to the Old Republic. Dooku decided that this was not an acceptable answer, and brought in twelve super battle droids in order to force an agreement. Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, managed to defeat the battle droids and svae the leaders, but Dooku managed to escape. (LOJ)

Telamark, Dona
This woman established a new home on the planet Bellassa, well away from the major city of Ussa. Her home, hidden in the mountains of Arno, kept her out of the sweeping events that occurred in the wake of the Clone Wars, when the Empire took control of the planet. A self-sufficient woman, Dona was startled when Ferus Olin appeared on her doorstep, after barely escaping the Imperial forces that had captured Roan Lands. Dona did her best to nurse Ferus back to health. When Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived on Bellassa and sought out Ferus, he explained that Dona had been the very first customer of the Olin/Lands Agency.

Back on her homeworld, she had blown the whistle on her employer, who had been cutting corners on a vaccine that was meant to save children. She feared that she would be targetted for assassination if she remained, and sought out Olin/Lands to help her expose the employer and escape any threats. With their help, she was able to testify in galactic court, thereby bringing down both the corporation and the government that supported its actions. She was then relocated to Bellassa, and remained out of sight for several months. Obi-Wan was dismayed to learn that he had been followed to Dona's cabin by Boba Fett, and was forced to flee with Ferus. Dona tried to help, but Ferus begged her to stay out of the conflict. She reluctantly agreed, and fled back to Ussa to hide among the Eleven.

However, Imperial forces managed to locate her, and she was arrested and sent to the prison ship True Justice, along with Roan Lands and several others. They were later rescued by Ferus, who allowed himself to be captured in order to ensure their escape. They returned to Ferus' asteroid base, and worked hard to make the small base comfortable. When Trever Flume arrived at the asteroid with Flame, Dona and Roan both agreed to accompany them back to Bellassa, on a mission to recruit the Bellassan rebels into the Moonstrike group. She agreed to join the Eleven, and help them in whatever way she could.

One of her first missions was the rescue of Doctor Amie Antin, in which Dona posed as an Ussan priest in order to escape the notice of the stormtroopers who filled the city of Ussa. (LJ1, LJ5, LJ6, LJ7, LJ8)

Telanka System
This star system, situated in the Outer Rim Territories, was the location of the Vessar Asteroid Belt. (HAS)

Telar
This was the largest of the three moons which orbited the planet Goroth Prime. (GSE)

Telari, Coros
This was the false ID of Pellas Agri, an agent of House Pelagia who worked as a troublemaker and spy for much of his life. His father had died in a House Mecetti prison, unjustly arrested for a crime he didn't commit. This left young Agri with a burning hatred of House Mecetti. He was attacked by a group of thugs from House Mecetti on Lamuir IV, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Telari had stolen a datafile from Mecetti, and was hoping to return it to his Pelagia masters. A team of Alliance agents, hoping to meet Trel Modetto aboard the Eternal Hope, were directed to the site of the attack by Janna Pallask. Their efforts in defeating the thugs saved Telari's life. He spent a great deal of time in a bacta, but owed a debt of gratitude to the Alliance agents. (TSIA)

Telaris System
This star system allied itself with the Alliance to Restore the Republic, following the Battle of Yavin. Admiral Ackbar personally oversaw the defense of the Telaris System, on direct orders from Mon Mothma herself. (RASB)

Telatti
This sweet, tasty fruit was grown on the planet Kattada. (SWEP)

Telbre, Evin
This bounty hunter was a rival of the noted smuggler Balthazar Sim. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Telbre discovered Sim had been involved in trying to cover up the effects of a stolen shipment of the drug platykona-zemlo-mobris, known on the street as "pleaz-mo". Telbre decided that it was time to shut down Sim's operation once and for all, and set out to bring him to justice. Sim, several years before, had been implicated in covering up a conspiracy on the planet Coruscant by causing an explosion which destroyed the evidence. The explosion also killed one of Telbre's friends, and Telbre set out to avenge the friend's death. Although he never found out what the actual conspiracy was, he continued to track down Sim. Telbre also worked on his own legitimate shipping business, which served as a front which he used to help transport slaves who escaped from Hutt Space. Telbre eventually tracked Sim to Aucellis Park on Keriba VI, using the transmission from a brooch Sim had once stolen. After a wild chase beneath the Cavern's Delight attraction, Telbre and the mercenaries he hired met up with Sim and his commander, Hoogi Grym. Grym managed to escape, leaving Sim to be captured. (WOA27)

TelBrinTel
This droid manufacturer produced a variety of scientific droids for civilian and military use. (SWJ13)

TelBrinTel Science Research Droid
This boxy, humanoid droid was developed by TelBrinTel after the Empire commissioned the corporation to create a weapons and armor research automaton. The SRD was given a monocular eyepiece which contained a powerful molecular microscope, and its endosystem was designed to accept a wide variety of dockable implements. For the most part, the SRD was delivered to Imperial research facilities shortly after the Battle of Hoth. A few individuals, such as the infamous droid known as Geth, were stolen by the Alliance. (SWJ10)

Telbun
This Kuati term describes a group of selected middle class individuals used as breeders for the Kuati upper classes. Certain members of middle class families were chosen to begin training to be a telbun, which involves rigorous screening and intense education in a wide variety of subjects. When an upper class noble chooses a telbun - there were male and female telbun - the individual becomes the property of the upper class. The telbun's family was well-compensated, but cannot claim any of the upper classes' riches. The child of the union then becomes the heir to the upper class riches. The goal of this arrangement was to remove emotion from the creation of a child, while at the same time eliminating the senseless joining of upper class families through marriage. The telbun was subordinate to its mate, and was made to wear heavy red and purple robes that hide their bodies from the public eye. They must wear tall, starched collars and high, cylindrical hats. (WG)

Telcar
This large, predatory mammal was native to the planet Ahakista. Like the much smaller merdoc, the telcar was usually encountered in the tunnels and caverns that riddled the planet's crust. The telcar was much more common than the merdoc. (SWRAG)

Teldanus
This was the second-tallest mountain peak located on Goroth Prime, rising some 7,350 meters tall. It was located on the planet's western hemisphere. Its name translated into Basic as the "Overlook." (GSE)

Tele-eye
This small, motorized telescope was an outdated form of electrobinoculars. (HSL)

Telega Lake
Located on an unspecified planet, this lake was several spectacular waterfalls. Hidden behind the waterfalls was the secret base of the Rodian gunrunner Karbo Jaxx. (HAS)

Telepan
This space station was located near the planet Bellassa, during the early years of the New Order. (LJ10)

Teleportal
This specialized doorway was created by the Keeper to protect its work from being discovered by offworld beings. Only those beings who understood the runes which covered the teleportal could learn how to activate it. (PZZ1)

Teleq
This bounty hunter was part of a group of hunters hired by Granta Omega to capture Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Wren Honoran on Ragoon-6, some five years after the Battle of Naboo. Teleq was known among other bounty hunters for his skilled use of technology in locating and capturing his targets. Teleq himself was a humanoid being with long limbs and hooked fingers and toes, giving him incredible mobility in trees and complex structures. It was Teleq who first captured Wren Honoran, using the Jedi pilot as bait to capture Obi-Wan and Anakin. (JQ2)

Telerath
This banking planet was noted for its semi-tropical envionrment, which attracted a large number of tourists every year. The Telerath Interstellar Banking Initative owned the planet, and decided to mix the inviting atmosphere of the planet with impressive, face-to-face customer service, in an effort to draw business away from planets like Aargau. The bank's motto summed this mission up succinctly, stating that "Telerath is what the galaxy forgot it wanted in a bank." Visitors to the planet were allowed to arrive unannounced, then meet with an organic representative who could actually help them with their accounts and inquiries, in a low-pressure situation. Families were invited to travel to Telerath together, mixing their vacations with their financial activities. The only droids on the planet worked as greeters, security units, and within the massive computer systems that managed the bank's credits. Meetings between individuals and bank representatives were held in outdoor gazebos, eliminating the cold, sterile, office environment of most banks.

It was later discovered that the planet-wide bank was owned by a consoritium of supporters, including Adascorp, the Czerka Corporation, and the Draay Trust. In the wake of the Mandalorian Wars, Telerath's reputation was tarnished by these business relationships, and many banking customers took their business elsewhere. Telerath was all but forgotten, although a small group of entrepreneurs tried to turn the planet's oceans into a tourist destination, during the decades leading up to the Clone Wars. Unfortunately, several gangs asserted their presences on the planet, forging several small criminal organizations that disrupted any efforts to establish Telerath as a vacation spot. (KOR3, KOR5, DT3)

Telerath Interstellar Banking Initiative
This massive financial institution owned the planet Telerath, where it made its headquarters during the years following the Great Sith War. The Initiative's leaders decided to mix the inviting atmosphere of the planet with impressive, face-to-face customer service, in an effort to draw business away from planets like Aargau. The bank's motto summed this mission up succinctly, stating that "Telerath is what the galaxy forgot it wanted in a bank." (KOR5)

TeleSonic
This was the brand-name of a series of audio pickups produced by Neuro-Saav Corporation for use in picking up long-distance sounds. The TeleSonic could filter out background noise and analyze the remaining sounds. (ROE, AEG)

Telesponder
Also known as a transponder, this starship communications device responded to inquiries regarding a ship's identification. (HSE)

Telettoh
This man served the Galactic Republic navy as a Captain, during the final stages of the Mandalorian Wars. Captain Telettoh was in command of the Hammerhead-class cruiser Testament, and was eventually named to serve as the naval liaison to the Jedi Expeditionary Task Force. With the help of Ferroh, Captain Telettoh tracked down Zayne Carrick on Wor Tandell, in order to bring work of the Jedi High Council's decision to join the war. Along with Ferroh, Telletoh agreed to transport Malak to Wor Tandell, where Malak hoped to convince Jarael to join the Republic's forces. Telletoh and Ferroh were forced to break up a fight between Malak and Rohlan Dyre, who were both fighting for Jarael's allegiance. Telletoh recognized that Rohlan was actually the swoopduelist known as Spikes, and refused to let Malak continue the fight. Telletoh knew that Rohlan was a sports hero, and that his death at the hands of Malak would become a public relations nightmare for the Jedi Council. Malak agreed to back down, and the task force left Wor Tandell to carry out their mission to survey the battlefront. (KOR14)

Teleus, Cham
This female Tynnan and her mate, Nog, decided to make a home for themselves in the Cularin System, during the final years of the Old Republic. They had made a small fortune as industrialists, and wanted to retire with their art collection, and Cularin seemed to be the best place for them. Just before the onset of the Clone Wars, Cham and Nog hosted a huge gala to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Cularin Compact, complete with a showing of their artwork. Among the artwork shown was a sculpture that depicted a Tarasin incongruously dressed as a Dark Star Hellion, a piece that was later discovered to have been carved by the Rodian slaver, Gomalo.

Recently released from prison, Gomalo and his goons stole the sculpture, along with several other pieces of art, and set off locate the frozen body of Ji-Ad Sarain. Although the other pieces of art were later recovered by Ezra Du'Re and a group of freelance agents, the sculpture remained missing. Cham and Nog provided officer Du'Re with holographic images of the sclupture, to help her track it down. (JST1)

Televor
This was the term, used by the Saivax of the planet Leritor, to describe the leader of a kuuvan. (GMR10)

Telex-Delcor
This corporation produced a number of space skiffs for use at orbital docking and repair facilities. They also produced a variety of starship security systems. (OE, SWJ13)

Telezan
A depressant drug. (COJ)

Telfrey
This planet, located in the Iskalon system, was depopulated by the Empire in order to secure the planet for their own usage, after it was discovered that rebellious individuals were stirring up the population. The survivors of the mass killings, both human and Telfreyan, eventually joined the Alliance, as the surface of their homeworld was reduced to molten slag by an Imperial bombardment. Historians later discovered that the Imperial attack on Telfrey was an act of retribution for the actions of Tay Vanis and Yom Argo on Iskalon. (LTA6, MC74, GMR1)

Telfreyan
This was the primary, sentient race which was native to the planet Telfrey. Like their human neighbors, the Telfreyans were forced to flee the planet when the Empire subjugated the world. The Telfreyans were a race of green-skinned amphibians, with fin-like ears and a thick spray of bone sprouting from their foreheads. (MC74)

Telgordo Travel
This passenger transport corporation provided luxury and standard-class tranportation for the inhabitants of Trax Sector, during the Galactic Civil War. (GMK)

Telgordo's Pride
This Telgordo Travel starliner was based out Bundim, and made regular runs in Trax Sector during the Galactic Civil War. The team of Alliance agents investigating the construction of an Imperial supply depot in the Bissillirus System were forced to book passage on this ship in order to bypass the Imperial blockade of Bundim and return to Draenell's Point. The only reason they were able to book passage on the ship was that a group of anti-Imperial rebels had hijacked the ship a week before. Although not officially affiliated with the Alliance, the hijackers pretended the Alliance team was a group of tourists in order to get past the Imperial blockade of Bundim. (GMK)

Telgorn Corporation
This venerable corporation was founded many millennia before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. Originally, much of Telgorn's business was based on the manufacture and sale of portable power cells, and this part of their business remained strong throughout the corporation's history. During the era of the New Order, Telgorn was known for its starship flight computers, and the corporation expanded its business by designed and manufacturing transport ships after the Battle of Hoth. (XW, QE, COJ, KOTOR2)

Telgorn II lpc
This starship, produced by Telgorn and based on the Gamma-class assault shuttle, was sometimes classified as a Gamma-class light personnel carrier. It measures 30 meters in length, and was were with four laser cannons. It requires a crew of 5, and can transport up to 40 troops into battle situations. (TA)

Telgorn Power Cells
This subsidiary of the Telgorn Corporation produced a range of portable power supplies, from batteries to portable generators. (HNN4)

Teligi Road
This was one of the main thoroughfares which led through the city of New Apsolon, on the planet of the same name. (TTB)

Telik
This Imperial Major served as the commander of Colonel Vessery's ground assault forces, during the early years of the New Republic. After Ysanne Isard took control of General Arnothian's TIE Defender operation and began plotting the destruction of Prince-Admiral Krennel, Telik's forces were called upon to assist Rogue Squadron in the infiltration of the planet Ciutric. Unknown to the New Republic, Telik was the agent on Commenor who provided Iella Wessiri with a holdout blaster, after she was captured by agents in the law offices of Wooter, Rimki, and Vass. Telik was impressed with Iella's ability to escape the situation. The Rogues, in the guise of Antar Roat's experimental flight group, agreed to "defect" to join Krennel, while Telik's team worked on the ground to bring down Ciutric's defenses. Telik's team was also in charge of rescuing the prisoners who were held on the Lusankya. (IR)

Teljkon System
This was the name of the planetary system in which the wandering starship known as the Teljkon vagabond was first sighted, since sixteen years after the Battle of Yavin. (BTS, NECH)

Teljkon Vagabond
This was the the name given to the mysterious, 1,500-meter starship that was discovered moving around the galaxy about five years before the Yevethan Great Purge. A Hrasskis monitor ship discovered it in the Telkjon System, but was unable to track it. The New Republic frigate Boldheart also encountered the ship and tried to stop it, but was disabled by the vagabond. When the vagabond showed up near Gmar Askilon about thirteen years after the Battle of Endor, Hiram Drayson and Alpha Blue got involved. They sent a fleet of ships, under the joint command of Pakkpekatt and Lando Calrissian, to Gmar Askilon to intercept it. They found the vagabond to be a five-hulled cratf resembling a raft. It appeared to be lashed together with huge, organic-looking cables. Its outer hull was translucent and apparently organic. The vagabond maintained a twelve-kilometer distance around itself via hidden sensors, and transmitted a high-pitched signal to any ship which entered the twelve-kilometer zone. If the ship didn't properly respond immediately, the vagabond would shoot to disable it while the vagabond jumped into hyperspace. Lando Calrissian, Lobot, R2-D2, and C-3PO discovered that the initial code being sent by the vagabond represented a subset of the Qella genetic code, and sent the remaining code back to the vagabond. They were admitted within the secure zone, and allowed to enter the outer hull. The ferret ship D-89 tried to enter the secure zone with the same code, but the vagabond had switched to another code. It destroyed the ferret and jumped into hyperspace. Once left to their own devices, Lando's team discovered that the vagabond's hull was constantly adjusting itself, and was able to repair small breeches by simply closing the gap. Along a section of the inner hull, a huge mural depicted thousands of Qella. The interior walls reacted to physical touch, and various responses were garnered from the ship's many rooms. Many rooms had special keys or sigils in the walls which, when touched, produced Qella music or changed the room's color, shape, or musical sounds. The chemical make-up of the rooms could be altered seemingly at will, with various pores extracting and introducing the gases necessary for its inhabitants to breathe. Any room entered by its normal portal would react to the entrance by turning on lights. It was later discovered, by Lobot, that the vagabond was actually a huge museum carrying thousands upon thousands of Qella ideas, stories, and data on how to rebuild the Qella race. The ship had been launched when the planet Brath Qella suddenly was plunged into an ice age. Hidden beneath the frozen surface, the Qella endured the cataclysm in stasis until their planet could be made habitable again. Much of the ship mirrors the Qella genetic makeup, from its internal structures to the base-six algorithms which run it, which were based on the Qella genetic code. The ship was designed with the idea that, after the planet had managed to survive the loss of its moons, the vagabond would return to Brath Qella and and thaw the planet out, thereby restart the evolutionary process. When the vagabond did eventually return - with Calrissian, Lobot, R2-D2, and C-3PO still inside - it allowed Luke Skywalker to join them. Luke's mastery of the Force allowed him to commune with the ship, bypassing the base-six algorithms which baffled Lobot and telling it to let them all go. It then began the laborious process of thawing out Brath Qella and making it habitable again for the thousands of Qella buried under the ice. (BTS, SOL, TT, NECH)

Telk, Rab
This man lived in The Clog, on the planet Chazwa, and despised Hahz Fallone for hoarding the wealth of the city. (ND)

Telkadis
This was a forested planet. (COG)

Telkadis Hiding Tree Spider
Native to the taku forests of Telkadis, this unusual predatory insect made its home deep inside the wood of the taku. Outwardly, the trees appeared healthy, but inside the tree spiders had carved out their own nest. The females of the species used powerful claws and pincers to dig through the taku to lay their eggs, and then the males followed them in to fertilize them. While in the process of fertilization, the male tree spider emitted a kind of humming sound, which was the only indication that a specific taku tree was infected with spiders. These tree spiders ambushed rodents, such as the volete, when they got too close to the taku tree, injecting the rodents with a potent venom that killed the volete and allowed the spiders to feed on the carcass. These spiders were a nuisance to the loggers and foresters of Telkadis, who would cut down a seemingly healthy tree only to discover a nest of stinging insects. (COG)

Telkur Station
This space station was known as a den of pirates and other criminals, during the years following the Swarm War. (LF3)

Telkur Station Cantina
This rekka-smoked-filled cantina was located on Telkur Station, during the years following the Swarm War. (LF3)

Tell, Toria
This woman, a native of the planet Tebru, was a noted droid inventor and collector. Toria, who trusted machines more than humans, maintained one of the galaxy's largest collection of rare automata and ancient robotic texts. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, she produced a private scandoc which discussed the latest developments in droid technology. (SWJ10)

Tellanroaeg
This planet, located in the Outer Rim, was one of many that were caught in the Outer Rim Sieges that occurred near the end of the Clone Wars. (E3N)

Tellar
This smuggler knew of an illicit weapons technician who claimed to be able to boost the output of the DL-6H, giving it an additional twenty shots without reducing the power of each blast. (GUN)

Tellaro, Arkle
This small-time smuggler was captured by the Corellian Security Force during the Galactic Civil War. Arkle went native after a raid on Velx-Shel, but returned to piloting in an effort to earn and spend his credits. He was captured on a routine run. (HAS)

Telling of the Story
This Kitonak ritual was performed at the end of their day. A single story was created by the adult Kitonaks, with plot twists and stroylines designed to teach the younger Kitonaks the virtues of patience. The story itself was often told in chapters, with each Telling consuming one chapter. (GG4)

Teloc Ol-sen
This planet was known as the homeworld of the bergruutfa species, as well as the primitive Teloc Hunters. (COG)

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

Telona
This was the fourth month of the Tapani local calendar, which mapped almost directly to the Coruscant local calendar. (PGT)

Telos
This planet, the fourth world in the Telos System, was known for its technological innovations, much of which was developed in the centuries following the Great Sith War. During the Sith War, the planet was sundered by Darth Malak, and much of its surface was destroyed. Left alone, Telos regenerated itself into a beautiful world, with many natural wonders that drew a steady tourist trade, as well as a great deal of commerce. About twelve years before the Battle of Naboo, the former Jedi Knight Xanatos turned the planet upside down by scheming to rape it of its resources in return for personal power. Only the intervention of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi thwarted Xanatos' plans, and helped return the planet to its rightful government. (DR, DOR, SWDB, UVG, KORH)

Telos Holocron
This holocron was supposedly created on the planet Telos, during the era of the Great Sith War. It was discovered on Telos some forty years after the Battle of Yavin, but its identity was never verified. The main body of the Telos Holocron was organic in shape, with many spines and curving surfaces that set it apart from the cubic or pyramidal holocrons that were known. No markings or glyphs were found on its surface, but it was topped with a clear crystal capstone, giving many members of the new Jedi Order the impression that it was a Sith holocron. Further enhancing this idea was the fact that none of the modern Jedi was ever able to access its contents. Eventually, though, access was granted to a Jedi - perhaps Tionne Solusar - who discovered that its most recent gatekeeper was none other than Darth Sidious. (EGF)

Telos IV
This was another name for the planet Telos, denoting its position as the fourth world in the Telos System. (KORH)

Telos Security Force
This was the primary police force that defended the planet Telos, during the years following the Great Sith War. (KOTOR2)

Telos Street
This wide thoroughfare was located in the city of Sath, on the planet Samaria, during the early years of the New Order. (LJ6)

Telos-4
This Outworld planet was the site of the Anglebay medical station during the Galactic Civil War. The planet remained neutral during the conflict, and treated the injured of both the Empire and the Alliance. It was attacked, and its droid and organic staff executed, by Valance the bounty hunter shortly after the Battle of Yavin. It was here that Beilert Valance was cyborged in an effort to save his life, after an Alliance serial torpedo destroyed his platoon. He left the planet a smoking lump of rock. Is this simply the planet Telos, which was ravaged during the years following the Great Sith War? (MC16, SWMW, KORH)

Telosian
This was the name used to describe the human natives of the planet Telos. (DOR)

Telosian Jedi Academy
This was the name used to describe the Jedi training facility that was located on the planet Telos, during the era of the Great Sith War. (EGF)

Telowe, Arden
This lanky man operated Mos Eisley's Desert Survey Office during the height of the New Order. He lived in the office in between expeditions into the desert, always in search of scrap or salvage. Despite his efforts to explore as much of the desert as he could, Telowe never updated the official map in the Desert Survey Office. He kept many locations, such as smugglers' hideouts and possible mining locations, to himself, often selling them to the local Hutt crimelords. During the Galactic Civil War, Telowe found himself the object of an intense search, ostensibly led by his long-lost sister, Masda. However, Masda turned out to be his former wife, whom he had left on Esseles with a huge debt to repay. Masda hired a group of bounty hunters to trail her after she hired some local guides to help track down Telowe. The scouts managed to find him in a canyon cave, and he was forced to accede to Masda's demands or be killed on the spot. (GMR7)

Telowe, Masda
This woman claimed to be Arden Telowe's long-lost sister, and hired a group of scouts to help her locate him in the deserts of Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. In reality, Masda was Telowe's former wife, and was searching for him to exact a measure of revenge for leaving her. Masda was a native of Esseles, and claimed that Telowe had left her with a failing business and heavy debts. When the scouts agreed to help her, thinking that she was simply looking for her "brother," Masda then hired a group of bounty hunters to follow them into the desert, in order to ensure Telowe didn't escape. (GMR7)

Tels
The meaning of this Quarren surname was unknown. (GCG)

Tels, Seggor
Seggor Tels was a Quarren from Calamari. He was the embodiment of the friction betweem the Quarren and their planetary neighbors, the Mon Calamari. He felt that his own race was being neglected by the Mon Cal, whom he felt were taking all the glory for the work the Quarren had done to build the planet's floating cities. He resented the Mon Cal for their dreams and their ambitions. He felt that the Mon Cal had relegated the Quarren to living the bowels of the planet's floating cities, even though they were designed that way. He resented the fact that Ackbar and the Calamarian Council wanted to make contact with the Empire. So, when an Imperial agent slipped past the planet's defenses and approached him, he felt that he could strike out at the Mon Cal by providing the Empire with the codes to evade Calamari's defenses. His hope, that the Empire would cut the Mon Cal down to size, was quickly turned to despair as the Empire enslaved by Mon Cal and Quarren without prejudice. When the Mon Cal began resisting the Imperial yoke, Seggor Tels again laughed at them. However, the forced slavery began to work at his conscience, and he began to wonder whether he should join the Mon Cal rebellion or not. When the Calamarians heard about the Alliance, Seggor Tels rallied the Quarren to join the Mon Cal, despite all their hatred, and together they drove off the Empire and freed Calamari. To this day, Seggor Tels thanks the Imperials - not the Mon Cal - for showing them how to fly to the stars and begin life again somewhere else. (SWSB)

Tels, Segken
This Quarren female served Adriav Kavos aboard the Isilia as a gunner. (PG1)

Telsa 89
This Khommite, the 89th clone of Telsa, was distinguished in the history of the planet Khomm. (UANT)

Telsij
This given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Telsij
This man served as a Lieutenant in the Alliance's Strafighter Command, and was a pilot in Gray Squadron. He was one of four pilots who survived a raid on the Imperial Academy on Carida, just prior to the Battle of Endor. (CCG11)

Telsor
This Corellian Gunship was part of the Alliance fleet sent to Bakura following the Battle of Endor. (TBSB)

Telstarr
This was the alias adopted by Clive Flax and Astri Oddo, when they arrived at the Bank Niro Eleven facility to investigate Flame's background, during the early years of the New Order. As Mr. and Mrs. Telstarr, they were allowed to meet with Herk Bloomi. (LJ9)

Telti
This desert moon orbited an unspecified world far, from the galactic community. Telti had no atmosphere and supported no known life, but was a source of many different metals and ores needed throughout the galaxy. A mining colony was established on Telti during the final decades of the Old Republic, with special environment domes allowing the miners to exist on the moon. Over time, it was found that processing the ore on Telti was cheaper than exporting it, and several parts production facilities were established on the moon. These production facilities subcontracted work from the galaxy's major droid producers, including the Big Two of Industrial Automaton and Cybot Galactica, producing high-quality droids with incredible speed as well as an incredible price. Most of these facilities were fully automated, allowing organic beings to handle the business side of things. The mining colony and the production facilities supported the Empire only under duress, and went bankrupt after the Battle of Endor. Years later, Brakiss re-established a droid manufacturing facility there, funded by Dolph and structured to produce droids which would explode when hidden detonators were triggered by a remote signal. It was on Telti that Cole Fardreamer, with the help of R2-D2 and C-3PO, exposed Brakiss' part in Dolphs' plans. Brakiss fled the moon, rather than face the New Republic and Luke Skywalker. Luke Skywalker and Brakiss met several years later on Telti, in an attempt to come to terms with each other. The meeting was a failure, and opened the rift between them even farther. (TNR, JUS, NEGD)

Teltiar Noodles
This form of noodles could be slightly undercooked, for a crunchy texture, or cooked through for a softer feel in the mouth. Teltiar Noodles were often served with a full-bodied Corellian ale. (HNN5, SWGAL)

Teltier Noodles

Teltior
This alien race was native to the planet Merisee, in the Elrood Sector. They resemble their neighbors, the Meri, in nearly every aspect, including their blue skin color and webbed fingers. The Teltiors, however, lack the large brow ridge present on the Meris. Both races lived on their own continent for much of their early history, separated by vast oceans. During the period of history known as "The Joining," the two continents were joined by a finger of mountains, and the two races were able to discover each other. However, instead of friendship, the Meris offered the Teltiors war, and the two races battled for a thousand years before Merisee was discovered by the Old Republic. Realizing that their own struggle was nothing compared to the galactic struggle, the Meri and the Teltiors eventually united to form a single group called the Loag. The Teltiors were also more willing to leave Merisee and travel throughout the galaxy, and many found success as traders or merchants. Although they chose not to brag about it, Teltiors also produced some of the galaxy's most successful conmen. (PG3, AE)

Tema
This Galacian woman was an artisan who was married to the healer Rowi, and was Elan's mother. She was known as a restless spirit to the Hill People, and often traveled to Galu to see the "outside world." During one of her trips, she fell in love with King Cana, and they were briefly married outside of her life with Rowi. She conceived a child by Cana, but kept the child's true parentage a secret when her marriage to Cana was annulled. She raised Elan as Rowi's daugther, but knew in her heart that Elan was Cana's daughter and heir. (MOC)

Temebiu
One of Munto Codru's more experienced, wealthy families. (CS)

Temerit
This Victory-class Star Destroyer was dispatched by the Empire to ensure that the Both System was brought under Imperial control, during the early years of the New Order. (SWJ3)

Temior, Brella
The ringleader of the Justice Action Network, Temior was taken out of the position by the cunning Gerald Weizel. (SWJ8)

Temirca
This small droid manufacturer produced several series of labor drones, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (CVD)

Temm, Jasis
This man was the owner of Hadlress Defense Systems, Ltd., until he sold the corporation for 4.6 billions credits. He then went into the bounty hunting business, preferring to put his knowledge to more "practical" use. (GG10)

Temm, Miat
This woman was a member of Admiral Pellaeon's civilian staff, and was assigned to greet Leia Organa Solo on Bastion when the New Republic first asked for the assistance of the Imperial Remnant in combatting the Yuuzhan Vong. Leia discovered that Miat was Force-sensitive, and adept at blocking off her mind from other Force users. (DTR)

Temm, Pol
This male Kel Dor owned and operated The Wheel, during the years following the Sith-Imperial War. Temm agreed to host a meeting between Admiral Gar Stazi and Captina Mingo Bovark aboard The Wheel, hoping to curry favor with both sides of the growing conflict in the galaxy. The negotiations might have yielded a true alliance, had not Morrigan Corde and Jor Torlin intervened. The pair of secret agents sabotaged the diplomats' ships, using Command Override Limpet Droids to take control of each ship's weapons and having them fire on each other. Pol Temm, unaware of this treachery, was forced to expel Mingo Bovark and the Imperial Knights who were guarding him from The Wheel, after the Knights managed to draw their lightsabers on the station to protect Bovark. Pol Temm the forbade Emperor Roan Fel from venturing to The Wheel, an order that extended to all Imperial personnel. (SWLT)

Temolak
This alien race, native to the arid world of Zirulast, scavenged their home system and neighboring systems for derelict starships and other materials to help bring credits home to their underdeveloped society. The Temolaks were known to deal primarily with low-tech races, preferring to use any advantage they could find to maintain their control. During the last days of the Old Republic, Temolak salvage crews often engaged in bloody conflicts for the rights to certain locations. These skirmishes led to the formation of the Temolak Salvage Consortium. However, then the Empire discovered the Temolak, the aliens quickly fled into the Outer Rim in order to avoid the Imperial laws and taxes which were imposed on them. The average Temolak stood just over two meters in height, and was a heavily-muscled being with reddish skin. Their faces were distinguished by the short horns which sprouted from their cheeks, as well as the fanlike ridges along their chins. As a people, the Temolak were quiet and timid, but could be resourceful and crafty when needed. Most Temolaks lived to be more than 100 years of age. (UANT)

Temolish
This was the native language of the Temolak race. (UANT)

Temora
This businessman was a native of Tun Wala, on Arda-2. He was against the selling of T-6 diodems to the Alliance, and refused Luke Skywalker's request to have a protection system developed to protect Alliance starfighters against Imperial ships which used after-market diodems. He was one of the city's executives. (CSWEA)

Tempay
This was one of Gacerian's moons, orbiting the planet at a point that was 180 degrees from the position of its sister moon, Fortay. The two passed completely around Gacerian once every 37.5 days. It was the site of an Imperial scout base, which was maintained even after the Battle of Endor. Located at the moon's north pole, the base lay directly on the terminator line. Thus, it could monitor the planet below, and the open space beyond, from a single location. (PG2)

Temperance
This was one of many sleek-hulled destroyers produced at the Contruum shipyards, during the early years of the New Republic. (UF)

Tempest
This Victory-class Star Destroyer was nearly destroyed near Dulathia, about four years after the Battle of Endor. Under the command of Captain Emba, it was carrying the components for an ion cannon, and slipped away from the battle. It managed to reach Garos VI, where it deposited the cannon. (SWJ3)

Tempest
This immense, 750-meter-long battleship was custom-built by Mika the Hutt to serve as the primary production facility for tempest spice. The ship was constructed on the surface of the planet Varl, hidden from prying eyes. The needle-shaped vessel contained hundreds of individual rooms that were connected by winding corridors, and was divided into four main sections. The forward section contained the main tempest processing facility, while the rearmost section contained the ship's engines and power plant. In the central part of the ship, the port side contained docking bays while the starboard side was dedicated to barracks, repair facilities, and an armory. Although the Tempest was built on the surface of Varl, it was completely spaceworthy, and could take off at a moment's notice, if needed. From the Tempest, Mika planned to produce enough tempest spice to enslave much of the galaxy, thereby taking control of the galaxy for himself. However, a group of freelance agents once hired by Mika's parent, Popara, discovered the facility on Varl. Mika tried to lift off from the planet's surface, but the agents managed to commandeer the Tempest before the Hutt could escape. Rather than let the ship fall into their hands, Mika set off the ship's self-destruct sequence. The Hutt was later killed in a firefight, and the Tempest detonated in orbit around Varl. Before its destruction, the Tempest was armed with sixteen turbolasers, twenty laser cannons, eight ion cannons, and twelve tractor beam projectors. It was capable of transporting up to 1,600 passengers and 8,100 metric tons of cargo, and required a crew of 800 to operate. (TF)

Tempest
This was a form of spice developed on Nar Shaddaa and produced on Varl by Mika the Hutt, during the early years of the New Order. Purple in color, it was noted for the way it provided a user with increased willpower and physical strength, but these enhancements came at a heavy price. Habitual users experienced a loss of self-control and sanity, and many died from the addiction. The addictive properties of tempest were stronger even than those of glitterstim, andris, or carsunum, and a single use was often all that was needed to form an addiction. Upon ingesting tempest, a user experienced a sensation not unlike having hot knives driven into the brain, which released a torrent of pleasurable emotions. In many cases, this was following a period in which the user felt invulnerable, and often went into a murderous rage to prove it. Addicts were easily distinguished by the spiderwebs of darkened blood vessels that were visible through their skin. Within months of its introduction, tempest had swept through Nar Shaddaa, collecting addicts at a remarkable pace. The lower levels of the Smugglers' Moon were rife with violent gangs, and were virtually unpassable. In just a few months, tempest began sweeping the Outer Rim Territories, and entire planets fell to its addiction. It took the investigative work of Angela Krin to discovered that the source of tempest was on the planet Varl, a fact that she discovered after investigating the source of the Endregaad Plague. Raw spice was transported to Varl, where it was mutated by the addition of a virus found only on the former Hutt homeworld. This mutated spice became the basis for tempest, and was refined to create the purple drug that Mika hoped would allow him to control the galaxy. The manufacturing facility was actually a custom-built battleship known as the Tempest, which was capable of producing enough of the spice to enslave the entire galaxy. Unfortunately for Mika, the agents hired by his parent, Popara, discovered the facility on Varl and destroyed it before Mika could set his plans in motion. (TF, WOTC)

Tempest Rill
This was an aggressive species of rill that was native to the planet Tatooine. (GQRG)

Tempest Squadron
This was the company name of the walker squadron which was garrisoned at the Imperial outpost on the Forest Moon of Endor, during the construction of the second Death Star. This was an unusual grouping, made up primarily of AT-St walkers, but this was necessitated by the terrain of Endor's moon. The lead AT-AT in the squadron had been refitted with speciallized programs which corrected certain weaknesses exposed at the Battle of Hoth. Many of the squadron's walkers and scouts saw action during the subjugation of the Wookiees on planet Kashyyyk. (CCG10)

Tempest-class Gunship
This gunship design was manufactured during the last century of the Old Republic. (COD)

Tempestro
This race of sapient creatures was native to the planet known as Koda's World. They were a warrior race, descended from a gentle and proud civilization. Millennia before the Galactic Civil War, the Tempestro's ancestors had a great mastery of the Force and were incredibly spiritual. This belief in a higher power, and a lack of modern technology, left them unprepared for an asteroid strike. The impact threw up a huge dust cloud which exterminated much of the Tempestro civilization. The survivors stored all their knowledge in a stone temple and eked out a meager existence. Those modern Tempestro understand that the temple was important, but have forgotten exactly why. When they were discovered by Krin Koda, he provided medicines to cure a ravaging disease. In return, the Tempestro gave him the Eye of Koda. They resemble large, winged reptiles which can glide great distances. Their heads were long and thin, dominated by sharp beaks and a bony spike projecting from the back of their skull. The edges of their wings were covered with serrated scales. Much of their current civilization was based on the trees of the planet. They were slightly telepathic, a remnant of their former ability to use the Force. During his attempt to gain the powerful Eye of Koda, Dhar Bullwin used his magic to enslave a population of Tempestro, using them to combat a gorup of scouts who were also on the trail of the Eye. (GG8)

Temp-flu
This was starfighter pilot slang for the mental state of mind which overcomes pilots shortly before their tour of duty was up. If they survived long enough, some pilots tried to ensure their continued survival by holding back and not becoming too aggressive. (MBF)

Templar Sword
This was a thin-bladed sword that was produced by Crusader, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWGAL)

Templast
This was a specially-created form of plastisheet, what would begin to oxidize as soon as it made contact with the air. This property of templast made it ideal for coded or important messages that were confidential or secret, since they would burn up within minutes of being opened. (MJH)

Temple Atun
One of the Massassi temples on Yavin 4, Atun was left untouched by the Alliance and the Jedi Students after them. Luke Skywalker wanted to keep the temple in its deteriorated condition so that the Jedi could have a link to the Massassi on which to meditate. He often went there to be alone and reflect on the galaxy. (BTS)

Temple Court
This immense, open-air plaza was the main entrance to the Jedi Temple, on the planet Coruscant, that opened onto the Fellowship Plaza, during the years that followed the Swarm War. The Temple Court was separated from Fellowship Plaza by the famous Walking Gardens. (FJ3)

Temple District
This was the term used to describe the city blocks that surrounded the re-constructed Jedi Temple on the planet Coruscant, during the years that followed the Swarm War. (FJ2)

Temple of Exar Kun
see Obsidian Temple (SWG2P)

Temple of Fire
One of the ancient Massassi temples on Yavin 4, it was here that Exar Kun herded all the ancient Massassi people before he drained them of all their life-energy in order to preserve his own spirit in the Dark Side of the Force. (DLS, DSSB)

Temple of Illumination
This was the primary religion of the Chalactan people. The leaders of the Temple of Illumination also served as the planetary leaders of Chalacta during the last years of the Old Republic. (HNN5)

Temple of Imynusoph
This temple was located on the planet Brentaal. (SWJ13)

Temple of Korman Lao
This vast, planet-sized temple was constructed by the minions of Korman Lao, the Lord Ravager of the Kanzer Exiles, more than 100,000 years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. History contained almost no information about the Temple, which was destroyed in an unknown cataclysm. Lord Cronal was able to learn of the Temple's existence from scraps of the Taurannik Codex, which led him to discover the Temple's ruins in the Valtaullu Rift. (LSSM)

Temple of Pomojema
This massive shrine was constructed in honor of the god Pomojema, on the planet Circarpous V. The temple was later discovered to have beenthe resting place of the Kaiburr crystal. It was a large, black pyramid, wider at the base than it was tall. It was built from volcanic rock, and was starting to erode when Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa located it, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. A statue of Pomojema was located at its center, and the Kaiburr crystal was imbedded in the statue. (SME, UVG)

Temple of Tet-Ami
This ancient edifice was located near Carthas, on the planet Benja-Rihn. It was believed to house a unique stone known as the Orb of Passage, which contained Tet-Ami's power to alter time. It was built some 4,000 years before the Battle of Naboo, to honor Tet-Ami and his actions in defending the city of Carthas from attack. However, it was lost from the public consciousness for many centuries as civilization began to coalesce around Coruscant. However, rumors of its existence, and the power of the stone hidden inside, drove Kruy Mulacks and his investigative team to excavate the site. (T13)

Temple of the Ancients
This temple was located on the Unknown World of the Rakata race, and ws believed to have been erected by the earliest of Rakatan civilizations. Subsequent generations of Rakata sealed off the Temple and worshipped it as a place of reverence, and only those Rakata who knew the correct rituals could gain access to its interior. (KOTOR)

Temple of the Beatific Razor
This violent sect of terrorists was formed among the Swokes Swokes during the early years of their membership in the Old Republic, when off-world corporations stripped Makem Te of its resources and left the planet a barren wasteland. The Congress of Caliphs had happily agreed to the offers made by these corporations, which caused a great deal of confusion among the Swokes Swokes population. Their low-tech existence was suddenly perforated by noisy machinery and uncaring aliens. Several splinter groups were formed at this time to disrupt the operations of the off-worlders, and the Temple of the Beatific Razor was perhaps the most fanatical of the lot. Led by the High Mystics, the Razor Penitents grew rapidly in strength and numbers, until they rivaled the Congress of Caliphs in power. The Caliphs requested military assistance from the Old Republic just prior to the onset of the Clone Wars, but the Republic later pulled out when the Beatific Razors eliminated their entire force. This forced the Caliphs to ally themselves with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and the Separatist forces helped to quell the actions of the Beatific Razors for many years. (WOTC, GORW)

Temple of the Blueleaf Cluster
One of the ancient, elaborate structures found in the jungles of Yavin Four. It was nearly destroyed when Vice Admiral Pellaeon and his fleet of Imperial-class Star Destroyers attacked the temple, thinking it was the primary site of Luke Skywalker's Jedi academy. It houses a huge, crystalline object deep inside its main chamber. This crystal glows and throbs with apparent life, filling the chamber with an eerie blue light. The crystal was oily to the touch, and was charged with static electricity. There were reports that the crystal was filled with the spirits of the long-dead Massassi people, and that their faces can be seen inside the crystal. Luke and Brakiss met here during the Shadow Academy's attack on Yavin 4, but Luke was unable to sway Brakiss from the Dark Side. (GDV, DS, ISU, JUS)

Temple of the Circle
A beautiful building found in Imperial City on Coruscant, it was destroyed in the civil war which ripped the planet apart following the death of Thrawn. (DESB)

Temple of the Five Masters
see Five Masters Academy (LFCW)

Temple of the Glorious Radiance
This building was located on the planet Lorrd, and was the primary headquarters of the Sisterhood of the Glorious Radiance. The temple itself was formed from the grounded hull of the transport vessel Via's Aura, which brought Vianist missionaries to Lorrd several millennia before the onset of the Clone Wars. Rather than establishing a massive temple, the Sisters adopted the mantra of function over form, and modified the ancient starship to provide them with a place of worship. Because of this, the Temple of the Glorious Radiance was generally regarded as one of the ugliest religious buildings in the galaxy. (OWS)

Temple of the Infinite Spirit
This H'kig fortress was established on the planet J't'p'tan, shortly after the religious sect fled Rishi. Covering more than 2,000 hectares of land, the Temple compound was made up of a complex configuration of courtyards, gardens, archways, and dormitories surrounding the main temple itself. The Temple was the first building created by the H'kig after their arrival on J't'p'tan, and was a monolith of polished stone that symbolized the teachings of H'kig. (EGP, WOTC)

Temple of the Je'ulajists
Using a corrupted form of the word "geologists," the Kentra created this temple from the wreckage of the Alpha Kentrum. It was erected as a reminder to follow the tenets of Sword, Plow, and Spirit set down by Michael Tandre. (SWJ2)

Temple of the Lovers
This temple was erected by the Yuuzhan Vong on the planet Coruscant - which had been remade into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar - in honor of the two gods known as the Lovers, Yun-Txiin and Yun-Q'aah. (UF)

Temple of the Modeler
This organic building was located on the planet Coruscant, after it was captured and worldshaped by the Yuuzhan Vong, and was used as a shrine by the Shapers to their god, Yun-Ne'Shel. (DW, FH2)

Temple of the Sacred Circle
This was the central building of worship maintained by the sisters of the Order of the Sacred Circle on the planet Monastery. In addition to serving a religious purpose, the Temple also provided shelter and housing for the many devotees who lived on the planet. It was a vast dome-shaped structure, sitting within a square compound. At each corner of the compound was a tall tower. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, when Domina Tagge schemed to have Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker eliminated, Imperial forces under the command of Captain Wermis opened fire on the Temple and its surrounding campus, destroying much of the building and scattering the acolytes. (MC35, MC37)

Temple Reception Hall
This was the name given to the public reception area located in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the years following the Swarm War. The Hall was a massive chamber, with high ceilings that were designed to make visitors contemplate their position in the galaxy. (LF4)

Temple River
This river flowed from the Temple of the Je'ulajists and the Wisdom Pool to Kariish, on the planet Orellon II. (SWJ2)

Temple Road
This road traveled from the city of Kariish, on the planet Orellon II, to the Temple of the Je'ulajists. (SWJ2)

Temple Spire
This was the tallest of the towers which rose from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Temple Spire was considered the most sacred place of contemplation by the Jedi, and its uppermost chambers contained the olders and most revered Jedi texts. (IWE1, SWCL)

Temple Valley
This was the name given to the rift valley located near Tel Bollin, on the planet Endregaad, where a collection of pre-Republic ruins were found. When the Endregaad Plague broke out during the early years of the New Order, the valley served as a sort of refuge for those beings who had been outcast for contracting the disease multiple times. (TF)

Templeton
This Virujansian Senator was rescued from Captivity by Alliance personnel, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (RC)

Temporary Droids
This corporation was formed during the last decades of the Old Republic, to provide other businesses and private enterprises with a ready pool of droid labor for short- or long-term rental. This allowed a business to acquire a group of droids for a short period, without having to buy them outright and then sell them later on. (GMR4)

Temptation Canyon
Located on the planet Sriluur, this desolate canyon was known as a home for bandigos. The Weequay population of the planet deserted the canyon and left it alone, believing it was the site of an epic battle between their god, Quay, and the evil water-nymph temptresses who lived in the pool at the deepest end of the canyon. The canyon was also known by its Weequay name, Uurutche'zediev. Many believe that the legend of Quay's battle was simply a fanciful description of the first Weequay attempt to get past the bandigos which live in the canyon, in order to get to the fresh-water spring at its end. The ancient Weequay had erected a temple midway through the Canyon, in order to help keep the water nymphs from returning and to warn travelers of their possible presence. The temple was later taken over by Ujin Voli as a base of operations. (SSR)

Tempter
Also called the Endorian treesnake, the tempter lived in hollowed-out trees and rocky crevices. Once settled into a location, it would stick out its furred tongue and wag it around, as if the tongue were a wounded snake. The tongue had its own musculature and nerve center, and the tip of the tongue even semed to have eyes and a mouth, which gave it a convincing appearance. The tempter's slimy skin also gave off a tempting aroma. Whenever a scavenger came to eat the "snake," the tempter would strike at the scavenger with its long neck, grasping the scavenger and eating it whole. The body of the tempter was covered with thick mucous, which allowed it to slither across the forest floor and crawl into tight locations to hide. The bite of the treesnake was mildly poisonous, causing skin inflamation. (ISU, E1A7, EA, WSW)

Temquill, Blair
This woman was born to one of the lesser nobles of House Tagge, and led a pampered life until her father became involved in politics. He hated the Empire, and sent a large part of the family fortune to the Alliance, to help fund their efforts on Ralltiir. Unfortunately, Lord Tion took control of that planet, and the Temquill fortune was lost. Blair, suddenly plunged into near-poverty, left home and traveled to Coruscant. She took with her all the credits she could get from the remaining family funds, and traveled the galaxy under a series of pseudonyms. She visited all the best locations, traveling as inexpensively as she could while still maintaining her stature as a noble woman. (HR)

Temquill, Roridan
This man served as the Chief Executive Officer of Bisquit Baron, working for TaggeCo during the last years of the Old Republic. (HNN4)

Ten, Ragan
This bounty hunter was based on the planet Taul, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ2)

Ten Cousins
This geological rock formation was located in the deserts of Nam Chorios, outside Hweg Shul. Ten immense crystal towers were arrayed in a loose circle. Much of the crystal was formed from Spook Crystal, giving the formation an intense power. (POT)

Ten Mile Plateau
A favorite tourist attraction, found in the rugged outback of the planet Ord Mantell. The bounty hunter Skorr maintained a bsae there, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War, hidden in an abandoned warehouse and loading station. After the death of Emepror Palpatine at Endor, the land surrounding the plateau was set aside as a preserve for the Mantellian Savrip. (MTS, CSW, HT)

Ten Percent
This was a term used by the clone troopers of the Old Republic to describe the worst possible situation. (TCD)

Ten Percenter
This slang term was used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe any mission that was given a ten-percent chance of survival. These missions were considered "easy" by most Specials Operations soldiers. (GG9)

Ten Valleys
This was one of the most wondrous natural formations found on the planet Alsakan. During ancient times, a group of rebellious dukes controlled the Ten Valleys and various parts of Alsakan, but there was near-continual warfare among them. When Saml Previl finally conquered the dukes of the Ten Valleys, he and his descendants were able to unite the peoples of Alsakan under one leader. (GMR9)

Tenab, Byun
This Sullustan pilot was one of the best smugglers in his sector. He was also one of the messiest in the galaxy, and the junk and rubble strewn throughout his ships would make a Squib cry. (GMH)

Ten-alarm Chili
This excessively hot, though spicy and full of flavor, was produced by Dexter Jettster at his diner on Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. (JQ9)

Tenbah Squid Pie
This seafood pie was often served with Roosha topping. (SWJ11)

Tenchl, Losk
This pudgy, middle-aged man spent most of his career in the Tapani Sector of the galaxy, jumping the mining claims made by other explorers in order to make his own money. Despite his success as a miner, Losk was a poor businessman, and lost his millions almost as soon as he stole them. Shortly before the Battle of Endor, he was set free from a House Calispa prison, after being arrested for locating the House's secret corusca gem mining operation at Coorimbus IV. (LOE)

Tend, Jylle
This woman and her husband, Sumda, were wealthy natives of the planet Alderaan, during the early years of the New Order. They purchased the orbital mansion which was once owned by Jer and Gelune Blankuna. (GMR2)

Tend, Sumda
This man and his wife, Jylle, were wealthy natives of the planet Alderaan, during the early years of the New Order. They purchased the orbital mansion which was once owned by Jer and Gelune Blankuna. (GMR2)

Tendau
This was one of the most common male names used by members of the Ithorian race. Although most Ithorian names were not used for a specific meaning, historians found that this name meant "restless" or "full of wanderlust". (GCG)

Tendd
This Imperial Moff was in control of the planet Bethal when the apocia tree population was nearly destroyed by greddleback insects. His declaration of the planet as a disaster world helped gain valuable Imperial funds to the restoration of the apocia. (SWJ11)

Tendi Maneuver
This starfigbhter maneuver was used by the pilots of the New Republic Navy, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was used whenever three or more fighters were being pursued by enemy craft, and could not escape without a fight. The fleeing ships built up as much speed as possible while trying to stay ahead of the pursuing enemy ships. Then, one fghter would suddenly kill power to the engines and spin around, facing the oncoming enemy ships. This ship, known as the fan, served two purposes. First and foremost, it broke up the group of enemy fighters, forcing them to change their flight path to avoid collisions. Second, it allowed the fleeing ships to put some distance between themselves and the enemy, giving them an opportunity to loop back around and engage the enemy head-on. (FP)

Tendo
This Mobquet transport was part of the Imperial supply fleet that was ambushed by the Alliance before it could rendezvous with the Corrupter. The Alliance tried to force the Imperial-II class Star Destroyer out of battle by cutting off its supply lines. (XWA)

Tendo, Liekas
This Morath mining engineer was captured by the Yevetha during the Yevethan Purge and forced to record a plea for amnesty. The plea was used during the New Republic's blockade of Doornik-319. Part of Eri Palle's plan, several such perjured recordings were used to keep Republic starfighter pilots from firing on Yevethan warships, on the off-chance that they might actually kill innocent bystanders. The plan worked, as there were no prisoners on board the Yevethan ships, which pummelled the Republic's forces. (SOL)

Tendo System
This star system was a known hangout of the Rior maniac Stalnus. (WBC)

Tendor Virus
This deadly virus threatened to wipe out the entire Caldoni System, until a cure was discovered by Jenna Zan Arbor more than twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. (EVE)

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

Tendrando Arms
This specialized weapons and armament manufacturer was the brainchild of Lando Calrissian and his wife, Tendra Risant. The corporation was formed shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, and produced the first working prototypes of the YVH-1 assassin droid. The war against the Yuuzhan Vong provided huge profits for the corporation, as beings from across the galaxy purchased their products to protect themselves and their families. However, in the wake of the war, Tendrando Arms experienced a gradual decline in business, as the galaxy began to settle down into relative peace. The corporate headquarters were eventually moved to a secure facility on the moon of Drewwa, to help cut down on costs. The corporation remainded quite profitable despite this, retooling their combat droids to serve as security guards and personal defenders. The events of the Alliance-Confederation War placed Tendrando Arms on the defensive, as more and more corporations began to produce military products. Competition was strongest from the Verpine and the Mandalorians, but obscure companies such as Baktoid Industries and the Colicoid Creation Nest were bolstered enough by the galactic situation to get back into the military supply business. (SBS, LF4, MF)

Tendrando Refueling and Repair Station
This repair and refueling depot, located in the Gyndine System, was owned and operated by Tendranro Arms, during the years following the Swarm War. Han and Leia Solo were at the depot when a Bothan assault force launched a surprise attack on the Galactic Alliance's shipyards in orbit around Gyndine, during the height of the Corellia-GA War. During the attack, Solo received a message from Captain Uran Lavint, explaining that Alema Rar was still looking for the Solos. Lavint asked that, in return for the update on Alema Rar, Solo and his smuggler friends relay any information about the upcoming meeting of The Confederation to her. (LF4)

Tendrannan Sector
This was one of the three sectors that were carved from the Cassandran Worlds, after the formation of the Empire. Its capital was the planet Isiring, and it encompassed the Kalki Nebula. (GORW)

Tendril-moss
This shaggy moss was native to the planet Talasea. (XWN)

Tenebrous Edge
This was one of the most sought-after, handheld weapons of the era of the Galactic Civil War. The Tenebrous Edge was essentially a wide-bladed dagger that was held in a fisted hand. The main grip was protected by a pair of talon-like spikes that surrounded the base of the blade. The blade itself was created in the shape of an arrowhead, with a sharp point and honed edges that allowed the wielder to either slash or stab with the weapon. What made the Tenebrous Edge weapon more desirable was the fact that it could be configured for an individual user, so that the blade was perfectly balanced and the hilt could held by any size or configuration of hand. (SWGAL)

Tenefor, Luur
This was the name of a noted Adarian individual. (UANT)

Tenek
This forested planet was the primary world in the Mis-Tenek System, and was known for its unusual population of plant and animal life made up of large concentrations of metal, such as the vinna tree and the raen sovra. Because of the menace posed by the raen sovra to starships, the Mis-Tenek System was quarantined to prevent any of the worms from gaining access to the rest of the galaxy. (COG)

Tenidit
This freshwater plant was found on the planet Hirsi. Its leaves were fashioned into sleet-fitting garments by the Qwohogs. (GG12)

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

Teniline
This mineral, which was processed into small granules, was found on the planet Bheriz. Teniline was one of the key natural resources that were required in the production of hyperdrives, during the final years of the Old Republic. However, the teniline mines on Bheriz were not exceptionally rich, and many industry analysts feared that teniline production on Bheriz would collapse in a few years, especially after hexophilenine became available. (CWN)

Tenk, Phloremirlla
This red-cheeked woman was an agent of the Old Republic's Intelligence agency, and was stationed on the planet Haruun Kal during the Clone Wars. She was ostensibly the owner and operator of the Highland Green Washeteria, but also served as an information source for the Republic and the Jedi Knights. She preferred to be called simply Flor, since that was the easiest part of her name to pronounce. When Mace Windu arrived on Haruun Kal to investigate the disappearance of Deppa Billaba, she was shot in the shoulder by a blast from Nick Rostu, and died shortly after from massive blood-loss. Mace later discovered that Flor had actually been a double agent, ostensibly working for the Republic but actually working for the Separatists. Rostu eliminated her to save Windu's life as well as to eliminate a threat to the Korunnai. (SHPT)

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

Tenloss, Bandar
This man was the founder of the original Tenloss Coalition. It was Bandar who established the idea of the leukish. (GG11)

Tenloss Corporation
This conglomerate produced a wide variety of heavy machinery and space vehicles during the era of the New Order, including the XQ2 Space Platform and its successive designs.. (SWMW)

Tenloss Syndicate
This criminal organization was based in the Baji Sector during the Galactic Civil War. For much of that period, they were an offshoot of Black Sun. They held sway in over sixty Outer Rim star systems, and controlled over a dozen front corporations in areas such as entertainment, cargo transport, and business management. Tenloss specialized in gunrunning, extortion, and smuggling. After the Battle of Endor, Tenloss quickly expanded as the Empire lost control of many sectors of space. By the time Grand Admiral Thrawn returned from the Unknown Regions, Tenloss had taken control of criminal activities in Astal, Dail, Lol, and Skine Sectors. (SE, EGV, GG11)

Tenn
This clone trooper was one of the many operations officers who served aboard the assault ship Fearless, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Clone Commander Gett often referred to Tenn as Peewo, since his primary role aboard the ship was as the principal weapons officer. (RCTZ)

Tenna, Lyrre
This woman was a noted field zoologist, whose studies and drawings were published in a wondrous volume on the galaxy's animal life by the Intergalactic Zoologicla Society. (WSW)

Tennd, Verzon
This man, a native of the planet Naboo, was stranded on the planet Tatooine at the same time as Hagk Baht, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (WOA6)

Tenno
This young boy was the son of Ka'arn, living with his family on the planet Ceriun some 1,000 years before the Battle of Endor. Tenno was a rebellious young boy, an attribute that didn't sit well with his disciplinarian father. The fact that Ka'arn's usual communication with his son involved a back-handed swipe acros the mouth made Tenno all the more eager to strike out on his own. When his father was given a holocron by a dying Jedi Knight, Tenno made a brash decision to steal it from the tribe's elders and make sure it was safe. However, in the back of his mind, Tenno also knew that the Sith would come looking for it, and secretly hoped to deliver the holocron as a way to get the Sith to take him as an apprentice. Tenno and his friends showed up at a council meeting to demand the holocron, and Ka'arn angrily questioned their motives. When he made to strike Tenno yet again, Tenno drew a knife and stabbed his father in the chest. When the Sith did arrive and simply took the holocron, Tenno explained that they had been trying to ensure he could have it. Anger surged in the Sith, who explained that he needed no one's help before killing Tennos' friends as his "reward". The Sith then warned the rest of the tribe that, if anyone harmed Tenno for what had happened, he would return and cause more trouble. (T17)

Tenolodium
This valuable metal was once used as a form of currency. The New Republic government maintained several tenolodium reserves to serve as the financial basis behind the credits it issued to its citizens. (FJ3)

Tenric
This man was an Imperial Sergeant, and worked as a security Inspector at the Rantine Space Station. Although he was loyal to Governor Resuunm he was disgruntled with his career and strove to better himself. (POC)

Tensiger
An Imperial soldier, in command of the 6th regiment that helped turn the Battle of Picutorion. (ISB)

Tenska
This was the Gungan word for the number 10. (GPB)

Tensor Field
This starship technology was used to maintain structural integrity of various hull and fuselage components, especially on large transport ships. The tensor field could be directed along structural girders and supports, effectively pulling and holding them in position during flight. The use of tensor fields was required on transport vessels that were capable of storing cargo in outboard structures, such as the wings of the C-9979 landing ship that was used by the Trade Federation, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (CCS)

Tensor Rifle
Developed by the Squib race, the tensor rifle fired bursts of tractor beam energy in rapid succession at its target, causing intense molecular disruption. Although the beam was invisible, the tensor rifle gave off a loud retort when fired. When used against organic material, the tensor rifle caused complete cellular disruption, and was outlawed in many systems for this reason. (GFT)

Tentacle Bird
Native to the planet Pelemax, in the Colonies Region, this bird was used in ancient times as a mount by Pelemaxian warriors. Modern-day Pelemaxians have domesticated these avians for use as beasts of burden. Tentacle birds were flightless, having a pair of blue-green tentacles in place of wings. These tentacles were prehensile, and could be used to swing from tree to tree. These birds emitted a piercing war-cry just before attacking their prey, a sound which served to unnerve the intended victim. The average tentacle bird stood just over two meters tall, and the span of their tentacles reached up to three meters. (COG)

Tentacle Fern
This plant was native to the swamps of the planet Naboo. (IG1)

Tentacle-bush
A low-growing plant which had tentacle-like appendages which it uses to capture rodents for food. They were found on Arzid. (PDS)

Tentacle-cactus
This was a species of large, mobile, succulent plant that was capable of being trained to perform simple tasks. (JS)

Tenta-kill 5
This was one of the worst holofilms of the Old Republic, produced in the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN4)

Tentase, Parla
This Kiffu often travelled on the Kuari Princess, being a veteran of many cruises and preferring the comforts of the Kuari Princess. She was aboard the Kuari Princess when it was hijacked by the Riders of the Maelstrom. (RM)

Tentator
This planet was the site of a high-security prison that was maintained by the Old Republic during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (JQ8)

Tente
Originally defined by Arvo Norstrag as part of the Rules of the Blade, this form of duel was recognized by the Phosphura Belt Pirates, and was settled quickly. The duel was over when the first blow was landed, when first blood was drawn, or when one of the combatants became unconscious. The exact details were agreed to by the duelists. Killing an opponent was forbidden in a tente duel, and those beings who killed their opponents were often marooned on a barely-inhabitable moon. (PP, SWJ5)

Tenth Alderaanian Expedition
This was the tenth in a series of galactic exploration missions launched by the people of the planet Alderaan, during the height of the Old Republic's Expansionist Period. This expedition was noted because it was the first such mission to make contact with Mrissi race. (TLC)

Tenth Battle of Zehava
This struggle, between the Daan and the Melida, for control of the city of Zehava was generally regarded as the bloodiest of all the wars they waged. Burial vaults containing the dead from this battle were breeched by the Daan when they expanded the tunnels and drains below the city to gain access to Melida-held areas. (DOD)

Tenticulon
This was a species of predatory creature, native to the glaciers of the planet Rhinnal. Many Rhinnalians considered the tenticulon a myth, since it lived below the ice-covered oceans and was rarely seen. Resembling an amorphous blob, the tenticulon had several ribbon-like arms which served a variety of uses. The tenticulon hunted fireheads for food, using specialized stinging limbs to immobilize their prey. When the arms were severed or damaged, the tenticulon could regrow them in a short time. (CCW)

Tentrata, Kader
This sullen Imperial Lieutenant was assigned to the Elrood Sector, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. His disposition was furthered worsened when he was assigned to command the Skipray Blastboat Greetbos instead of being stationed aboard one of the two Star Destroyers which patrolled the Sector. He often took out his frustration on the independent spacers he encountered in the Sector. (PG3)

Tentrix
This planet, the primary world in the Tentrix System, neighbored the planet Hilo. (JAD)

Tenupe
This planet, located in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy, was located at one end of the Sparkle Run. Thus, it served as a primary hyperspace jump point for the transports of the Colony that were moving out of Killik territory and into the rest of the Unknown Regions. Thus, Tenupe was on the front lines of the border war that erupted between the Chiss and the Colony, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. A massive battle was fought between the two groups for control of Tenupe, which had little to offer besides its dense jungles of mogo trees. The Chiss, however, hoped that they could cut off the Colony's shipments if they were able to take control of the planet. The battle waged for weeks, with neither side giving much ground, before the conflict was eventually resolved. The planet itself lacked any form of oceans or seas, and any runoff from the mountains simply traveled downward in rivers before draining into wide basins. Tenupe was orbited by a single satellite, known as the Shattered Moon. (DN3)

Tenuuri
This was one of the many settlements which were destroyed during the decade-long civil war that ravaged Haariden, several years after the Battle of Naboo. It was here that a team of Old Republic scientists hid, until they could be rescued from the warring factions by a team of Jedi Knights. (JQ4)

Teonsqua River
This river was located on the Betu continent of the planet Rodia. (SPG)

Teopari
This creature was a predator known for its smooth, fluid motion when stalking its prey. (DTO)

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

Tepar
This child was the daughter of Deela and an Alliance operative who was captured by Janek Sunber and a group of Imperial agents, some nine months after the Battle of Yavin. Tepar's father was tortured and interrogated, but refused to give in. Instead, he railed at Sunber and the Imperials, claiming that Luke Skywalker - the man who singlehandedly destroyed the first Death Star - would eventually detroy the Empire as well. This information allowed Sunber to relay Luke's identity to Darth Vader, who had been searching for the hero of the Battle of Yavin. (SWRMB)

Tepasi
This planet was best known as the headquarters of the House of Tagge and its mega-conglomerate, TaggeCo. (HNN4, EAEG)

Tepine, Qell
A native of Coruscant, Qell Tepine was the leader of the mercenary group known as Star's Nova. Tepine and Star's Nova worked exclusively for the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War, but better money could be found after the Battle of Endor. During his employment by the Alliance, Tepine developed a network of informants within the military, and used them to steal critical information from the New Republic. This made him doubly dangerous to the Republic, for it gave him access to the Republic's databases, and gave him a way to make a lot of credits selling military secrets to the highest bidder. (WBC)

Tepinnnel, Siarr
This vocal opponent of the Corporate Sector Authority was imprisoned at Stars' End by Viceprex Hirken, during the height of the New Order. (CSA)

TEPM
This abbreviation was used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe a Thermal Exhaust Port Mission. (GG9)

Teppler, Denjax
This man, the former husband of Five World Prime Minister Aidel Saxan, was chosen to serve as the interim Prime Minister when Aidel was murdered at Toryaz Station, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Saxan had been killed during a series of negotiations with Gilad Pellaeon, who was representing the Galactic Alliance. The negotiations were to have laid the groundwork for the relationship between the Corellian System and the Galactic Alliance. Teppler also learned that his brother died in the attack, while defending Prime Minister Saxan. Thus, he felt little excitement in the announcement of his promotion. He was also stymied by his advisors and rivals during the first days of his tenure, since he lacked any political clout. This combination made Deppler little more than a puppet, a fact that he reiterated to Han and Leia Organa Solo when they met with him a few days after the murder. Teppler couldn't directly help the Solos, who were trying to figure out what was happening in the Corellian System, but he agreed to get them access to a secret meeting of Thrackan Sal-Solo and his political cronies.

In the aftermath of Sal-Solo's assassination, Teppler assumed the role of Corellia's Minister of Justice, serving under the newly-appointed Prime Minister, Dur Gejjen. He maintained his reservations about the path down which the Corellian government was going, and agreed to meet with the Solos again, in the aftermath of the assassination attempt on the life of Wedge Antilles. To protect himself, Teppler hired a body-double to move about in public, allowing him to carry out his own work. During his meeting with the Solos, Teppler explained that Dur Gejjen had been the leader of the group that planned the assassination of the Hapan Queen Mother, Tenel Ka, as part of a plot to draw the Hapans over to the Corellian side of the war. When the Solos' presence on Corellia was discovered, Teppler disappeared into the crowds, hoping to avoid being seen with them.

After Gejjen's assassination, Teppler became one of Sadras Koyan's closest aides, and also served as Corellia's Minister of Information. The pair developed a daring plan to kill Jacen Solo, but secretly taking control of Centerpoint Station and using it to destroy Solo's flagship. Koyan offered Solo a chance to negotiate for Corellia's return to the Galactic Alliance, if he would meet at a neutral point in space, equidistant from Corellia and Coruscant. This allowed the technicians aboard Centerpoint Station to have a clear target to fire at. Koyan and Teppler remained on the station while a skeleton crew accompanied Captain Hoclaw to the rendezvous site. The attempt to destroy Jacen Solo from a distance failed, and although much of the Galactic Alliance's Second Fleet was destroyed, the Corellian warships sent to the renzedvous point were all but wiped out.

In the wake of this act of treason against The Confederation, Teppler went into hiding in Koyan's command bunker on Corellian, where he spent his time monitoring communications in the system. This gave him an opportunity to contact Turr Phennir, the Supreme Commander of the military forces of The Confederation, in an effort to talk the commander into removing the embargo that prevented Corellia from receiving needed supplies. The embargo had been put in place after Centerpoint was fired, and Teppler hoped to get some assistance for his people. He was somewhat surprised when Phennir suggested that they remove Sadras Koyan from power, but came to realize that the plan might work. Teppler himself would handle the governmental duties, while Genna Delpin could become Corellia's military leader.

Their opportunity to remove Koyan came during Jacen Solo's attempt to take control of Centerpoint Station. Teppler truthfully alerted Koyan to the presence of enemies aboard the station, then sent the Prime Minister to a false destination. With Koyan out of the way, Teppler and Delpin assumed the roles of co-Chiefs of State of Corellia. Some three years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, Teppler accepted an invitation to travel to Coruscant and participate in the Unification Summit that was being hosted by Natasi Daala, the Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance. (LF1, LF4, LF7, FJ1)

Teprimal

Ter58
This was the designation of Girodyne's ion turbine sublight engine, used by the Corellian Engineering Corporation on the CR90 corvette. (E4VG)

Teraab Sector
This area of the galaxy, located on the border between the Colonies Region and the Mid Rim, was mined extensively during the last century of the Old Republic. The sector was filled with dense nebulae and other proto-star systems that shifted without notice, which made travel through the sector difficult, but not impossible. Much of the mining operation was controlled by the Mining Guild, but several lawless operations were sprinkled throughout the sector. (X2, SWMW)

Teradoc
A tyrannical despot active in the early years of Leia Organa Solo's reign as New Republic Chief of State, Teradoc sought to restore the Imperial New Order to the galaxy. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Teradoc took his Crimson Command fleet of ships and established a stronghold in the Mid Rim. In the wake of Zsinj's death at Dathomir, Teradoc declared himself the High Admiral of the Mid Rim, and set about trying to consolidate his base of power. He was constantly trying to win control of the remaining Imperial fleet from High Warlord Harrsk, and he used his crimson-colored fleet of Victory-class Star Destroyers to take out Harrsk's flagship, the Shockwave, during Harrsk's talks with Daala. Like many of the surviving warlords, Teradoc had grown fat and lazy by the time Daala convened the warlords at Tsoss Beacon. And, like the other warlords, he perished at Tsoss Beacon when Daala and Pellaeon poisoned them all. (COJ, DS, NECH)

Teraeza
This woman worked as a spy for the Alliance, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Terak
Terak was ostensibly the King of the Marauders on the Forest Moon of Endor, during the years leading up to the Battle of Endor. He was taller and stronger than the other Marauders, and was obsessed with finding "The Power," which he felt was the key to the ancient scroll he possessed. The scroll held plans to the starship of Noa Briqualon and Salek Weet, who had crashed onto the Forest Moon. After Salek was captured and interrogated, Terak found the scroll and believed that the ship's crystal oscillator contained The Power. Terak desired to built a starship for himself, so that he could terrorize the stars. He enlisted the Dathomiri witch, Charal, to help him find The Power. Later, he killed most of the Towani family while trying to obtain the oscillator from their shuttle. Having obtained it, though, Terak had no idea how to use it. He tried to make Cindel tell him how it worked, but she was unable to. When Cindel retrieved the oscillator and liberated the Ewoks held by the Marauders, Terak had Charal turn into a bird to lead him to the humans, and kept her magic ring to guarantee her compliance. This proved to be his downfall, for Wicket struck the ring with a stone, causing it to flare to life, burning Terak to death. (BFE, GMR9, SWDB)

Terakaya
This was a name that was common among the females of the Sanyassan race. (UANT)

Terak's Keep
This was the name used to describe the fortress built by the Marauader King Terak in the Dragon's Spine mountains, on the Forest Moon of Endor, during the height of the New Order. (GORW)

This Daan was a native of the Garth settlement in Zehava. He died fighting in the Battle of the Plains, during one of the many struggles to control the city of Zehava. (DOD)

Teras Kasi
Translating into Basic as "steel hands," this weaponless martial art was created and perfected by the Bunduki over several centuries. There were six basic stances in this martial art, with more advanced and difficult techniques to be learned as a student progressed. As the teras kasi arts were refined over the centuries, it was discovered that they were particularly effective against Jedi Knights. (SE, DSTR, CN1)

Terasa
This was one of the most common names used by the Farghul people. (UANT)

Terath
This was one of the most common names used by the Farghul people. (UANT)

Teraud, Bors
This man was a native of the planet Dantooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War.

It was rumored that Teraud carried out strange, cybernetic experiments with The Warren. (SWG2P, SWGAL)

Terax
This red giant was one of four stars that were located at the center of the Opiteihr System. (TSK)

Terazod
This semi-aquatic mammal was native to the planet Naboo. The terazod had a stout horn on its nose, used for digging through the dirt and silt at the bottom of ponds and lakes and uprooting plants to feed on. Because of their small size, terazods actually floated on the surface of the water and snorkeled downward. Their long necks allowed them to reach the bottom of shallow waters, and a long tail helped counterbalance them while feeding. The tail was also studded with horny spikes. (WSW)

Terbeast

Terecon
This long-bodied reptile was native to the planet Essowyn. Measuring up to eight meter in length, and standing a meter at the shoulder, the terecons were the only natural enemy of the huge hoska. Terecons were burrowers, hiding themselves in shallow pits and ambushing the hoska when they moved past. (PG1)

Tereene
This droid manufacturing corporation produced the Brainiac series of controller droids during the New Order. (SWCP)

Tereez
This was one of the many names given to female Bothans. In the Bothan language, it meant "twilight" - or, more literally, "dusky." (GCG, WOTC)

Terellian
This alien race was distinguished by its lithe, supple body and unusual skin coloration. Much of a Terellian's body was covered with greenish skin, but the face had a pale, white color that set it off from the body. The ropy hair of a Terellian was often dark red in color, and was worn in a topknot that crowned the skull. Terellians eyes were often red in pigment, and appeared beady next to the white skin of the face. (CWTV33)

Terelya
This Devaronian armorer was an expert in the field of ancient armor, during the height of the New Order. (GUN)

Terend Council
This was the basic form of government used by the Ugnaughts on their homeworld of Gentes. The Terend Council was made up of elected officers known as the ufflors, and was led by the King of the Tribes. The three tribes which were transplanted to Cloud City by Ecclessis Figg - the Irden, Isced, and Botrut tribes - developed their own localized form of Terend Council, based on the Ugnaught Surface floating city. (GG2, NEGA)

Terentatek
This unusual creature was native to the planet Korriban, and had been twisted into a grotesque form during its evolution by its contact with the Dark Side of the Force. It was believed that the first terentateks were created by the Dark Lord of the Sith, Exar Kun, as part of his plan to re-establish the Sith Empire and return it to its Golden Age. The ancient Sith Lords used terentateks to guard the tombs that were carved into the Valley of the Dark Lords. A special breed of terentatek, known as the bloodfiend, was developed to seek out and destroy humans that had a strong connection to the Force. (KOTOR, NECH, CN3)

Terenthium
This natural element was combined with desh to produce a super-light allow which was used by OmoTact Corporation to manfuacture skyships like the Roahks 7m. (GG2)

Terephon
A member world of the Hapes Consortium, this planet was homeworld of many of the amazon guards employed by the royal family of Hapes. It was located in the Transitiory Mists region of the Hapes Cluster, and was therefore cut off from the rest of the Consortium. Communications had to be carried in by courier ships, since the transmission systems of the HoloNet could not penetrate the Transitory Mists. (CPL, CTD, LF3)

Terephonian
This was the term used to describe the Hapan inhabitants of the planet Terephon. (LF3)

Teres, Roget
This identity, used by Pike Angeles, was an Imperial Commander. (CRO)

TerexComm
This small corporation produced a variety of data access devices during the New Order. (SWJ10)

Terhaari
This was the sole moon which orbits the planet Berchest. It exhibits a strong tidal pull on the planet, making the seas of Berchest quite active. As a result, much of the planet's coastline had been eroded to reveal beautiful crystalline formations. (TTSB)

Ter-Idi
This Cerean male was discovered to have a strong connection to the Force, and was brought to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant for training, during the final decades of the Old Republic. He was eventually chosen as a Padawan learner by Master Kal-Don, and absorbed knowledge like a sponge. However, when Kal-Don was targetted ro assassination, Ter-Idi was badly wounded while protecting his Master. Although he recovered from his wounds, Ter-Idi discovered that his skills and reflexes had badly eroded. Normal Jedi training left him wanting more, and eventually succumbed to the lure of the Dark Side of the Force. He left the Jedi Order entirely, and melted into the underworld of Coruscant. He used techniques he had learned in the Jedi Temple to mask his connection to the Force, ensuring that none of his former teachers would find him. However, he kept his skills with the Force intact, and used them to help build one of the largest criminal empires on Coruscant. (UA)

Terk
Native to Toydaria, this creature was raised for its unusual hide. Toydarian chefs often cut the hide into strips and sauteed it in oil and groat milk, creating a dish called terratta, which was suited for the Toydarian palate. (WOTC, CCW)

Terk Street
This was one of the many alleyways which wound through the settlement of Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine. (T6)

Terkury Housing Complex
This superhabitat building was under construction in the city of Rellidir, on the planet Tralus, about ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The building was located near the Navos Center for the Performing Arts, and was being erected on the site of a former housing facility was had been demolished for safety reasons. As part of Operation Noble Savage, Wedge Antilles and his Corellian military advisors planned to fly sorties of YT-5100 Shriek-class bombers through the unfinished structure of the Terkury Housing Complex, in an effort to bypass the shields that had been erected by the Galactic Alliance around the Navos Center. (LF1)

Terlyn
This woman lived the planet Onderon, during the years surrounding the Jedi Civil War. Her husband was killed year before, and Terlyn gratefully accepted the help of The Exile in obtaining a starport visa to her homeworld. (KOTOR2)

Termadus
This white dwarf was the secondary star in the Cularin System. Much younger than its companion, the yellow star Morasil, Termandus had evolved quickly through its life-cycle. Because of its proximity to Morasil, Termandus' meager gravity often collected coronal gases from the larger star, a phenomenon which hid Termandus from many starship nagivational computers and presented dangers to any being traveling through hyperspace near the Cularin System. (LFC)

Termagant
This Imperial Strike-class cruiser was part of the Warlord Zsinj's fleet. It was part of the group that was sent to the Alderaan System to ambush the bacta convoy headed to Coruscant from Thyferra. The lead ship of the group was an unidentified Super-class Star Destroyer, and it destroyed the convoy before Rogue Squadron arrived. However, the Termagant was attacked and destroyed by the Rogues. (KT)

Terman Station
The Black Sun pilot Kalend Thora was nearly assassinated while laying over on this station, which was located along the Sisar Run between Sespe and Sriluur. The Station was roughly twice the size of Nwarcol Point. During the Galactic Civil War, Terman Station was run by Kilon Tarlok, who spent much of his time repairing the aging station. Although local legends said that Terman Station was built millennia ago by the Hutts, Kinsa Doroturo later discovered that the station was actually one of the orbital fortresses built by Xim the Despot. It was abandoned after the Third Battle of Vontor and left idle. (SSR)

Termin
This was the capital city of Metalorn, and the nexus for many of the planet's manufacturing corporations. (HNN4)

Terminator
This Imperial frigate was assigned to intercept the Mon Calamari cruiser Cathleen, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. In order to remain in the battle and not take enemy fire, the crew of the Terminator would drop out of hyperspace to deploy its TIE Fighters and then jump out of the battle zone. Alliance starfighters arrived to protect the Cathleen, and they were able to destroy or drive off the Imperial ships. (XW, XWP)

Terminator
This was one of the Imperial-I class Star Destroyers that was originally assigned to intercept the pirate ship GrimDeath I. (SWSB)

Terminax
This was the brand name of MerenData's TX-1118 assassin droid. Note that Wretched Hives of Scum and Villiany indicates that this was the manufacturer of the TX-1118 series of assassin droids. (WSV, AEG)

Terminus
This planet was located on the fringes of the Red Nebula. A world not unlike Coruscant, Terminus served as a major shipping center along a great number of hyperspace trade routes. The surface of the planet was built to enhance the natural beauty of its forests, but was nonetheless a bustling commercial center. (LTA2, MC50)

Termo
This man served as an Admiral in the Imperial Navy, and was in command of the Star Destroyer Liquidator during the height of the New Order. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, Admiral Termo was given a set of three holocassettes by Grand Moff Tarkin, with the order to view the first tape if the first Death Star didn't meet them at Delrakkin within a certain amount of time. Termo was initially unaware of the Alliance's victory at Yavin, but opened the first tape when the deadline passed. Although he followed the directions given to him by Tarkin in the first and second tapes, both tapes were stolen by an Alliance agent who managed to infiltrate the Liquidator. The tapes revealed to the Alliance's leadership that Delrakkin was the test site of a device which would prevent starships from entering hyperspace. Upon completing the attack on Delrakkin, Termo was ordered to jump back to the Yavin System, to locate the first Death Star and find out what happened to it. Once in the system, Termo found himself once again facing the Alliance agent who stole his tapes, only this time the agent had managed to place a thermal detonator in the Liquidator's solar ionization chamber. The rebel managed to escape just before the detonator exploded, destroying the ship and killing all aboard. Termo however, managed to reach an escape pod with Communications Officer Tix, and they was able to blast off just seconds before the explosion. (MIS2, MIS4)

Termyte
This insect, which was native to the planet Kubindi, was considered a tender delicacy by the Kubaz race. Most termytes were wood-boring insects that continued to grow throughout their lifecycle, during which time they gnawed a network of caves and tunnels into the tree trunk in which it lived. Because the termyte kept growing as it fed, it became trapped within its tree, as the original hole it bored into the tree was too small to allow its body to pass through. Because of this, termytes laid their eggs in the branches of the trees, so that their larvae can begin burrowing into the tree and work their way downward as they grew. In this way, mature termytes could emerge from a tree trunk near the ground. During the mating season, the females then climbed back up to lay their eggs. (MIS6)

Ternma
This was one of the more common surnames used by the Duros people. Like all such names, Trenma was used only for official business, to indicate one individual from another when in the presense of non-Duros. This name literally meant "mechanic". (GCG)

Terno
This Kitonak musician was a vital member of the Alliance in the Minos Cluster. He regularly traveled with his band between Adarlon and Yelsain. (GG6)

Terno, Vel
This Imperial Colonel was placed in charge of SilverWing and GoldWing Squadrons, part of the defense network for space platform 2LC/Blue in Darpa Sector during the Galactic Civil War. (FOP)

Teroch
This Mandalorian word meant "pitiless" when translated into Basic. (OWS)

Teroenza
This t'landa Til was employed by Zavval the Hutt to act as the Most Exalted High Priest of Ylesia. In this position, he was actually in charge of obtaining slave labor to process the Hutt's spice for distribution. Teroenza maintained a lavish suite of offices, and used his resources to amass a wonderful collection of artifacts from across the galaxy. His art collection was extremely valuable, and he kept guards posted at all times. It was Teroenza who sent out a request for a pilot to transfer Ylesian colonists to and from the planet, as well as transport spice to the Hutts. He chose Vykk Drago, who was actually a young Han Solo. While Solo was quite good at flying starships, when he learned of the spice and slaving operations he plotted to breka free of Teroenza's employment. Working with Bria Tharen, Han managed to destroy a major processing facility and escape, but not before stealing much of Teroenza's art collections and killing Zavval during his escape. Teroenza was forced to put out a bounty on Drago. Han never was catpured, and Teroenza became increasingly disgruntled with Besadii's leaderhsip. Following Zavval's death, Kibbick was placed on Ylesia as a figurehead, answering to Aruk and Durga. Teroenza worked with Jabba and Jiliac to assassiante Aruk, and Teroenza himself murdered Kibbick. However, his part in the death of Aruk was discovered by Durga, who employed Boba Fett on a priority bounty to kill the beast. Teroenza managed to survive the initial stages of the Battle of Ylesia, and nearly captured Bria Tharen and Han Solo when Fett appeared. He killed the t'landa Til and removed its horn as proof for Durga. (TPS, THG, RD)

Teronto
This being was one of the more notable industrial artists of the galaxy, during the years following the Great Sith War. (LPSS)

Terpfen
This Mon Calamari male was one of Ackbar's chief starship mechanics, during the early years of the New Republic. Years before, when the Empire invaded the planet Calamari, Terpfen was captured and sent to Carida for Imperial reconditioning. While there, his brain was surgically altered to replace or modify its loyalty centers. He was then used by the Empire to build starships, and was allowed to escape during a Rebel attack. From that point forward, Terpfen found himself an unwitting accomplice and spy, as his Imperial masters could send specific signals to his altered brain. Terpfen could only accept the "programming" he was given and carry out the task demanded, or suffer massive headaches and physical debilitation. He lived for many years without being required to perform traitorous acts, until Emperor Palpatine was killed at the Battle of Endor, and Grand Admiral Thrawn was defeated. Ambassador Furgan then took control of Terpfen's "programming," and used the innocent Mon Calamari as a pawn in his plot to discredit high-ranking members of the New Republic. Terpfen was ordered to sabotage Admiral Ackbar's personal B-Wing shuttle, which crashed into the Cathedral of Winds on Vortex and brought immense shame upon the tactical genius. After Furgan set his own plans in motion to eliminate Mon Mothma, he forced Terpfen to plant a homing beacon on the ship Ackbar took to the planet Anoth, which allowed Furgan to learn the location of the Jedi baby, Anakin Solo. Terpfen was then compelled to relay the coordinates of Anoth to Furgan, who launched an all-out attack on the remote world, following the destruction of Carida. However, Terpfen had finally made up his own mind, and fought against his Imperial conditioning. In an effort that nearly killed him, he fled Coruscant to locate Ackbar on Calamari, where he was working to repair the floating cities with Leia Organa Solo. Terpfen explained his part in the shuttle crash on Vortex and the revelation of the location of Anoth, and accompanied Ackbar and Leia on a mission to rescue Anakin and his guardian, Winter. A great battle ensued on Anoth, with the defenses on the planet destroying several of Furgan's vaunted MT-AT walkers before Furgan managed to infiltrate the complex and snatch Anakin. After Terpfen arrived with Ackbar and Leia Organa Solo, baby Anakin was rescued. Furgan tried to escape in an MT-AT, but Terpfen used another of the walkers to push Furgan off a cliff to his death. Terpfen begged Admiral Ackbar to punish him for his actions, but Ackbar refused to make it easy on Terpfen. Ackbar decided that Terpfen's punishment would be that he was forced to live, and to reflect on his heroics, rather than his misdeeds. Although he was eventually pardoned by Mon Mothma, Terpfen chose to resign his commission and return to Calamari to help rebuild the planet's floating cities. (DA, COTF)

Terpfen
This was one of the more common names given to males of the Mon Calamari race. To the Mon Calamari, this name referred to a species of sharp, spiky coral. (GCG)

Terpfen
This was a species of sharp, spiky coral that was native to the oceans of the planet Mon Calamari. (GCG)

Terqu, Melin
This man served as the deck officer of the main hangar on deep-space platform 3DC/Green, directing traffic for the Alliance. (HAS)

Terra Sool
This planet, noted for its agriculture and its idyllic cloudscapes, was the site of a major Separatist emplacement during the height of the Clone Wars. Unusual, repulsor-equipped battle platforms were placed in low orbit around Terra Sool, hiding in the clouds. The disk-shaped platforms were studded with turbolasers and crewed by all manner of battle droids. The combined efforts of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were able to destroy the battle platforms before they could raze the surface of the planet. The clouds of Terra Sool were inhabited by a species of dragon-like, avian creatures. (CWA2)

TerraAsta Spaceport

Terrain-Following Sensor
This starship component was used in a planet's atmosphere to monitor the terrain of a planetary body, providing detailed mappings of the ground formations, treelines, and other possible obstructions. The TFS could also be used to target a destination's location, and guided the ship toward it using various terrestrial formations as guidemarkers. A TFS could be set to fly as near or as far from the ground as desired, and was often used to fly a ship well below the normal operating position of ground-based tracking systems. (HSE)

Terramoth
This was a species of small, flying insects. (LSSM)

Terrarium City
This architectural wonder, located on the now-destroyed planet of Alderaan, was created from a natural depression in the plains of the planet. The depression was deepened, expanded, then sealed to prevent any industrial waste from leaking into the earth. The depression was then filled with a liquid polymer to the level of the first section of the city. The polymer was allowed to harden, then modified battleships used their lasers to carve out the section into a series of open spaces. A three-dimensional pattern was programmed into the weapons systems of the battleships, creating the intricate floorplan envisioned by the city's designers. When one level was done, more polymer was added and etched by the space-borne lasers. In this manner, eighteen layers of living space were created in Terrarium City. Although the lasers served to harden the polymer while carving it, the polymer could be later reshaped if the inhabitants so desired. Thus, much of the city's population could create their own artwork by manipulating the walls of their dwellings. The entire city was capped by a transparent sheet, from which sprouted a number of thin spires used as turbolift shafts and waste elimination systems. (ISU)

Terra-tower
This was the primary form of outpost construction used by the ExGal Society. A terra-tower built upon the natural beauty of the planets the Society used to monitor extra-galactic activity, and only intruded on the planet's natural environment enough to support its sensors and communications requirements. These outposts often resembled walled forts, built to keep out the often-savage wildlife of frontier planets. (VP)

Terrik, Booster
A native of the planet Corellia, Booster was a smuggler and a starship pilot for hire during the height of the New Order. He was the original owner of the star yacht Pulsar Skate which he used in his endeavors. His wife died shortly after the birth of their daugther, Mirax, and Booster was forced to raise her aboard the Pulsar Skate on his own.

Following the death of Wedge Antilles' parents on Gus Treta, Booster helped Wedge hunt down the pirates that caused the incident. They never found them, though, because Hal Horn caught up with Booster and sentenced him to five years in the correctional facility on Kessel. Booster lost his left eye while on Kessel, and had a cybernetic replacement inserted in its place.

When Booster got out, he made sure that his daughter, Mirax, was able to work on her own within the law, so that she wouldn't suffer his fate. When she became involved with Rogue Squadron - and specifically Corran Horn - Booster found himself assisting the son of the man who imprisoned him. Booster did much of this for Wedge's benefit, and was more than amenable to creating a smugglers' haven in the space station orbiting Yag'Dhul, in an effort to keep the Rogues hidden after they resigned their commission to the New Republic. Booster worked hard to make the station defensible, and even installed several operable but non-functional weapons implacements. He even found proton torpedoes and concussion missiles for the Rogue's X-Wings when none were available.

In a bold plan, the Rogues left the station undefended and tried to draw Ysanne Isard's forces into a trap. Booster's false defenses led the Lusankya's Captain Joak Drysso thinking that he was coming under fire from nearly 500 missile launchers and forced him to flee. The short battle allowed Booster to capture the Star Destroyer Virulence when Ace Squadron was dragged out of hyperspace by the gravity shadows of the station and the huge Lusankya. Booster convinced Lakwii Varrscha that the Aces were part of his defenses, and she surrendered. Booster and the Aces then took the Virulence to Thyferra and helped turn the tide of the Battle toward the Rogues.

As a reward for his heroism and smart thinking, Booster asked for the Virulence in return. Airen Cracken balked at first, but Corran Horn cited an obscure salvage law that required Cracken to acknowledge Booster's right to ownership. This surprised Booster, coming from his sworn enemy's son, but that surprise was quickly overshadowed by Mirax's engagement to Horn. Talon Kaarde helped swing the deal for the Virulence by removing the weapons on board and selling them back to the New Republic. Booster obtained the stripped-down Virulence, and renamed it the Errant Venture. He then gutted the ship and turned it into a huge, floating, general store for smugglers and other pilots.

For many years, Booster was unable to turn a profit from the ship, and spent most of his credits just keeping it running. He was recruited by his daughter and Iella Wessiri during the investigation into the whereabouts of the Lusankya prisoners, and they discovered several of the plots laid out by Ysanne Isard's clone against Rogue Squadron. However, they were too late to rescue the X-Wings from Distna. They did manage to recover Wes Janson and Asyr Sei'lar, both of whom survived. They kept the secret of their survival when Mon Mothma announced that Rogue Squadron had been destroyed. Janson was returned to Coruscant, though Asyr asked to remain "dead" in order to help change Bothan society.

When Borsk Fey'lya approached Booster with a job offer, Booster listened until he discovered that Fey'lya was looking for a Bothan body to take the place of Asyr's in the tomb of the Bothan Martyrs. Fey'lya hinted that any body, even that of a criminal assassinated by one of Booster's people, would suffice. Booster was appalled, and beat Fey'lya to within an inch of his life to show his disgust. Booster later told Iella Wessiri that he'd rather have Fey'lya as a direct enemy, instead of a player sneaking around in the shadows.

Booster was again called upon to assist the New Republic, when the existence of the Camaas Document was revealed. Booster and the Errant Venture were recruited to become the Tyrannic, as part of a ploy to recover a copy of the document from Yaga Minor. They were nearly captured in the attempt, as the Imperial forces knew that the Tyrannic was cloaked over Bothawui. However, the intervention of Admiral Pellaeon swayed the battle to the Republic's side, and the group escaped.

When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Booster took the Errant Venture and went into hiding. When Jaina and Jacen Solo contacted him about assisting in the rescue of the Jedi students on Yavin 4, Booster agreed primarily because his grandson, Valin Horn, was on the moon. Booster later agreed to house the students of the Jedi praxeum until a safer training facility could be set up. Led by Kam Solusar and his wife, Tionne, the Jedi students traveled to the Maw Installation, where a new facility was created for them to train in secrecy, away from the fighting and the threat of attack. Booster remained at the Maw with the Errant Venture to protect against a possible Yuuzhan Vong attack.

When the Yuuzhan Vong finally surrendered to the Galactic Alliance at Coruscant some five years after their invasion began, Booster decided that it was time to pursue more legitimate goals. The galaxy needed to be rebuilt, and there were too many honest ways to make a living. He took the Errant Venture into space and set out to finally live his life in peace. Age eventually caught up to Booster, and he was forced to take on a massive hoverchair to help him move about the huge vessel.

After Wedge was nearly assassinated, in the wake of Corellia's failed attempt to kill the Hapan Queen Mother, Booster gladly took his friend in, along with Wedge's family and the other members of the so-called All-Clown Squadron of Fun. He also agreed to let the Jedi Order, which had split from the Galactic alliance, use the Errant Venture as a deep-space staging area for a mission to Centerpoint Station.

Terrik, Mod
An Imperial Captain, Terrik was in charge of training Davin Felth and the other stormtroopers destined for Tatooine, as part of the search effort for R2-D2 and C-3PO. Terrik's bald head helped him stand out from the rest of the recruits. Terrik was known in Imperial circles as a fearless, highly motiviated leader who was willing to sacrifice his troops. Once on Tatooine, Terrik was placed in charge of the Deserts Sands Zeta Squadron, and led the attacks on the Jawa sandcrawler and the Lars homestead. These attacks angered Felth, who continued to grow more disgusted with the Empire. When Terrik ordered his troopers to fire on Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon, Felth used the opportunity to shoot Terrik in the back, claiming that Terrik was a victim of the crossfire.

Teshik had been promoted to the position of Grand Admiral after Emperor Palpatine sent him on a doomed mission against a Hapan battle fleet. Teshik managed to survive, but the majority of his body sustained permanent damage and had to be cyborged. This sudden change turned Teshik inward, and he completely cut himself off from any form of emotion. Palpatine then personally charged Teshik with security in the Ringali Shell, and threatened to execute Teshik if the situation with the privateer vessel Far Orbit wasn't resolved. At the Battle of Endor, Teshik was aboard the second Death Star when the Alliance attack. As the station crumbled around him, Teshik was pinned beneath a falling column. Only a construction worker stopped to help him, freeing teshik and dragging him to safety. Old emotions began to resurface, and Teshik personally rallied the diminished Imperial fleet and continued to battle against the Alliance for more than three hours after the Death Star exploded. Teshik and his ship, the Eleemosynary were then captured by the Alliance, and Teshik was executed for crimes he committed in the name of the Empire. (FOP, SWI66)

Tesla, Probus
This young, Corellian man was one of the first Force-sensitive Inquisitors who worked for Emperor Palpatine, during the months that followed the end of the Clone Wars. Just over twenty years of age at the time, Tesla was originally trained by Master Kuthara at the College of the Inquisition. The old Falleen was often frustrated by Tesla's questions, because Tesla continually probed the Jedi about the designations of light and dark sides of the Force. Despite Master Kuthara's harsh lessons, Tesla aspired to become a great Master himself, training new Inquisitors to carry out their duties to the Emperor. Upon graduating from the college, Tesla was further trained by Darth Vader himself, and thoroughly enjoyed the use of his powers and the relative lack of accountability that came with the role of Inquisitor. Because of his ruthless dedication to his job, Tesla was known to members of the Whiplash organization as the Bloodfiend, in reference to a kind of terentatek that was bred to hunt Jedi. Tesla was charged by Vader to locate and recover the droid known as I-5YQ, after the Dark Lord experienced trouble in capturing Jax Pavan. Although he was loyal to his Master, Tesla could not help but chafe at the menial task that had been set before him. Neverthless, he set out to find the droid, and was surprised when he crossed paths with Kajin Savaros. He briefly abandoned his search for I-5YQ in an attempt to capture Savaros, who displayed an incredible connection to the Force. However, Tesla was unprepared for Savaros' raw utilization of the Force, which the boy used to envelope Tesla in the repulsor field of an energy corridor. Savaros then collapsed the repulsor field envelope, trapping Tesla inside. The energy ripped through Tesla's body and shattered the buildings around him, and it was all Tesla could do to maintain his grip on life long enough to escape. He returned to Vader's side, but spent weeks in a bacta tank recovering from his injuries. He chose not to have reconstructive surgery, using the sight of his hairless skull and scarred face as a reminder that he could not be arrogant in his abilities.

Several weeks after this accident, Tesla once again sensed the presence of Savaros in the streets of Coruscant, and he and the other two Inquisitors set out to separate the boy from his companions and capture him. Tesla believed that they had finally cornered Savaros near the intersection of Gallery Row and the Rainbow Parkway, and he and his companions set out to capture the boy. Mas Sirrah nearly eliminated Laranth Tarak, but he was intercepted by Savaros, who used the Force to utterly disintegrate Sirrah's body. This gave Savaros and his companions a chance to escape, leaving Tesla with no prize and a dead Inquisitor to report to Vader. However, in the midst of the fighting, Tesla had also sensed that the droid I-5YQ was somehow connected to the Force. The news that the droid might be Force-sensitive spared his life, although Vader demanded that Savaros be captured, believing that the boy was the key to capturing Jax, I-5YQ, and even Laranth Tarak. Tesla obtained information from Dejah Duare that Savaros would be moved to a new safehouse, and was able to intercept the boy and his escort, Laranth Tarak. Using spice gas, he drugged Savaros into unconsciousness and brought him back to a hidden containment facility. There, Tesla kept the boy in a drugged state, but allowed him to regain consciousness. During these half-awake periods, Tesla subtly twisted Savaros' mind, insinuating that the boy had been in training to become an Inquisitor, but had been hunted by the Jedi and nearly caught.

Shortly after Kaj was captured, Vader was contacted by Jax Pavan, who wished to negotiate for the boy's freedom. Jax offered himself and a sample of bota, but would only meet with Vader in person. A meeting was arranged, and Vader was able to obtain the skinpopper that contained the bota. Much to Tesla's chagrin, Vader injected the bota into his system before any analysis could be done on the sample. The Dark Lord then began to spasm, and gouts of Force energy started flashing from his body in random blasts that made Vader appear to have turned into a weapon of the Cosmic Force. I-5YQ was badly damaged and Dejah Duare was crushed by Vader's blasts of Force energy. During the chaos that ensued, Jax Pavan tried to attack Vader, but Tesla stepped in and confronted Jax in a lightsaber duel. Tesla managed to gain the upper hand in the duel, until one of Vader's random blasts struck him and knocked him into a pile of machinery. Tesla's body was torn apart by the impact, leaving him all but dead. (CN3)

Tessek
This name was commonly given to Quarren males, and referred to an ocean predator that was known for its ability to viciously attack without being discovered. (GCG)

Tessek
This fast-swimming predator was native to the oceans of Mon Calamari, and was revered among the Quarren for the way it could attack and cause damage without being noticed. (GCG)

Tessek
A Quarren who was one of Jabba the Hutt's Chief Lieutenants at his palace on Tatooine, Tessek was involved in a number of intrigues. He was working with Prefect Talmont in a plot to kill Jabba, while secretly bribing Talmont's men into killing both Jabba and Talmont. He would then sell any and all of Jabba's criminal empire to Lady Valarian. He planned to keep most of Jabba's "clean" business operations for himself. He had already manipulated many of these businesses into lucrative ventures, with Jabba's blessing. It was Tessek, however, who handled their day-to-day operation, not Jabba, although Jabba was the one listed as the owner. Tessek had managed to bribe into employment many of Jabba's henchmen, including Ree-Yees, Barada, and many of the Weequays. However, when Tessek encountered a disembodied B'omarr monk who seemed to known all of his plans, Tessek began to panic. He had planted a bomb on Jabba's supply skiff, which he would explode when Jabba left the palace. His plan was to have Talmont intercept the barge at Jabba's Mos Eisley warehouse, where both would die. However, the presence of Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker in the palace put many of Tessek's plans in disarray. He tried to warn Jabba of the danger posed by the Alliance, hoping to keep the Hutt in Mos Eisley. Jabba, though, began to distrust Tessek, and ordered him to accompany the sail barge to the Pit of Carkoon. Tessek was trapped. It was Tessek who finally put all the pieces of Luke Skywalker's plan to free Han Solo and destroy Jabba, but the only audience he could find to hear him out was Ephant Mon, who later linked Tessek to an Imperial plot to destroy Jabba. Tessek tried to escape the palace, but he was intercepted by Ortugg, who held him in the palace until Jabba was ready to depart. Jabba then demanded that Tessek stay near him. When Skywalker's plan went into action, Tessek played along with it, shooting a Weequay who would have stopped Leia from strangling Jabba. Tessek managed to escape Jabba's sail barge before it exploded, and returned to the palace. There, he was captured by the B'omarr monks and his brain was disassociated from his body. As an acolyte, he learned that he had more in common with Skywalker, Organa, and Han Solo than he did with Jabba's ilk, and found the true meaning of freedom. (XW, MTS, TJP)

Tessek
This Old Republic Senator was one of Senator Palpatine's stronger supporters. (COD)

Tessent
The history of this chalcedony idol was shrouded in mystery. During the early years of the New Republic, rumors and legends of the Tessent began to spring up throughout the Moddell Sector of the galaxy, after the Imperial presence in the galaxy was removed. It was believed to have been buried on Ast Kikorie, in the tomb of a Dark Jedi, or hidden in a mine on Vasha. These tales and many others drew treasure seekers to the Moddell Sector throughout the era of the New Order, but the Tessent was never found. As more and more lore about the Tessent became known, it was revealed that there were actually two Tessents. Both appeared to be birds with feline heads, but one was attributed to the Ayrou of Maya Kovel, while the other was a representation of the guardian of the ancient Kings of Archais who united Alsakan under a common leader. The Alsakan Tessent was a symbol of patriotism, although many treasure hunters believed that it was also the key to unlocking an ancient storehouse full of riches. Modern rumors pointed to the presence of at least one of the Tessents somewhere in the Kuna systems located in Moddell Sector. (GMR9)

Tesser
This X'Ting warrior was the first of Jesson Di Blinth's hive-brothers to attempt to locate the hidden eggs of the royal line, during the last years of the Old Republic. Tesser had managed to penetrate the Hall of Heroes, but was unprepared for the attacks of the huge worms that were hidden beneath it. Tesser was unable to defeat the worms, so he strapped himself to a high crevice and waited for another chance to escape. Unfortunately, no such chance ever came, and no other X'Ting could locate him, and so Tesser died in his position. Later, Jesson discovered Tesser's body during his own attempt to locate the eggs.

Tessra, Lun
This Imperial Captain commanded the 37th Imperial Fighter Wing aboard the Abrogator during the early years of the New Order. He was in command of the fleet which subdued the Lortan fanatics during the Reslian Purge. However, his pilots felt no loyalty to him during the battles because Tessra was a few weeks from completing his tour of duty, and held back in order to avoid being killed. His place as leader of the 37th was eventually taken by Soontir Fel, and Tessra was given command of a group sent to destroy several Alliance outposts. However, many of his missions ended in failure, and he was re-assigned to the 37th. Fel stepped aside to allow Tessra to take command, while Fel opted to remain a pilot. (MBF)

This was the Wookiee coming-of-age test in which a young male must pass three trials. In the first, the Wookiee must build his own bowcaster. In the second, the youth must track and kill a scuttle-grazer. The final test requires the Wookiee to kill a katarn without the help of another. (TT)

Test of the Droids, The
This was one of the pre-arranged Jedi Trials developed by Jedi Master Lanius Qel-Bertuk, for assessing the readiness of a Padawan to be promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight. Developed with the help of Snem Noonb, the Test of the Droids involved sending the prospective Jedi to Edic Bar to obtain a shipment of pwer relays from Noonb's manufacturing facility. The Sullustan had equipped with facility with surplus B1 battle droids, which had been reprogrammed in the wake of the Battle of Naboo. As part of the Test, Noonb inserted a "virus" into the programming of his droids, which made them rebel against their assigned duties. When the young Jedi arrived, the battle droids would being their "revolt," forcing the Jedi to act in order to save Noonb, themselves, and the facility. Depending on how well they carried themselves during the "revolt," the young Jedi were given an assessment as part of their Jedi Trials. (JCT2)

Test of the Lightsaber, The
This was one of the Jedi Trials that Padawans at the Almas Academy were asked to complete, as part of their training to become full Jedi Knights. The first part of the Test of the Lightsaber involved the actual construction of one's own lightsaber, either from parts acquired during the test or donated to them by the Academy. (JCT2)

Testa
This was the capital city of the planet Rutan, and the site of the royal palace of the planet's King. (SP)

Testament
This Galactic Republic Hammerhead-class cruiser was under the command of Captain Telettoh, during the final stages of the Mandalorian Wars. It was part of the Jedi Expeditionary Task Force, which was charged with scouting the front lines of the war and determining how to address the Mandalorian threat. (KOR14)

Testarr Sector
This area of the galaxy was roamed by the bounty hunter Yarr Gatonne during the early years of the New Republic. (WBC)

Testing Screen
This device, also known as an image emitter, was developed by the Jedi Council to test the telepathic abilities of Jedi trainees. It had no buttons or controls, and was manipulated solely via the Force. Contained in the memory banks of the screen were thousands of pictures, which could be displayed randomly or chosen by the user through the Force. This assured that a trainee couldn't oversee what the Master was doing, and guess at a correct answer. Using the screen, a Master could project into it a succession of images, which the trainee would have to interpret via their connection to the Force. (E1N, IG1, PJSB)

Te'Suub, Miim
This young Sullustan was the Director of Formal Activities for the SoroSuub Corporation's corporate offices on Genarius, during the era of the Battle of Naboo. He was part of the team which worked to produce the G-59 Cannibalizer starfighter, and shocked SoroSuub management by calling for a halt to all operations on the day the first G-59 was produced. He gave a short speech to christen the new starfighter, then dismissed the entire force. The workers were confused by the edict, having worked in a corporate environment where taking time off was frowned upon. Nevertheless, the workers heeded Miim's orders and left the facility to enjoy a series of parties which lasted for four days. SoroSuub's corporate managers feared that Miim's actions would seriously jeopardize worker loyalty, but were pleasantly surprised when morale and dedication increased. From that point forward, SoroSuub allowed the Festival to continue on an annual basis. (LFC)

Teta
This strong-willed female warrior conquered the system of stars and planets now known as the Empress Teta System, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. In what historians refer to as the First Unification Wars, Teta conquered seven major systems and their primary worlds, including the Koros System. She moved her seat of power to the city of Cinnagar, on Koros Major, and ruled with a fair but strict hand some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. She was aided in her unification of the systems by the Jedi Knights, who realized that stability in the region would allow it to join the galactic community and benefit from trade and commerce. She was assisted by Memit Nadill and Odan-Urr, whom she trusted implicitly. So, when Odan-Urr had a vision foretelling the rise of the Sith Empire, Teta believed him and took him to Coruscant to tell the rulers of the galaxy. When they laughed at him and believed him to be an impulsive young Jedi, Teta returned to Cinnagar to prepare her worlds for the attack. Shortly before the Sith rose up, Jori Daragon returned to Cinnagar and was shot down over Teta's palace. The arrival of the frightened young woman only hardened Teta's resolve to protect her worlds. In what became known as the Great Hyperspace War, the Tetan forces - led by Jori Daragon, using information provided by her brother, Gav - soundly defeated the Sith fleet near the Denarii Nova. She rewarded Jori by giving her the rights to own and operate Aarrba the Hutt's starship repair facility. Teta was succeeded by a number of heirs, but over the centuries the government became fragmented. (DE1, GAS, FOSE, SWJ14, PH)

Teta, Duke
This man was a regular patron of the Galaxies Opera House, during the final years of the Old Republic. Although he appeared to be of middle age, Duke Teta was actually closer to 300 years old, having used several illegal drugs and rejuvenating treatments to keep himself alive. He was often seen in the company of much younger females, including Koyi Mateil. (DAG, CHRN2)

Teta System
This was another name used to describe the Empress Teta System. This shortened name was used on may astrographic charts during the years following the Galactic Civil War. (EGF)

Tet-Ami
Known as the Time Guardian, this was the unusual being who appeared on the planet Benja-Rihn some 4,000 years before the Battle of Naboo, and helped the natives of Carthas defeat a swarm of savage beasts. Tet-Ami was rumored to control the Orb of Passage, which in turn could control time itself. In a strange twist of reality, Tet-Ami was actually the Jedi Master, Mace Windu. Legends and prophecies predicted that Mace Windu would return the Orb of Passage to the Temple of Tet-Ami, and the Jedi Council guarded the Orb while awaiting the birth of Mace Windu. They then bided their time, never interfering but monitoring the progress of Windu's training. Only when Mace Windu became a full Jedi would the Council relax. Their time to act came when Kruy Mulacks discovered the Temple of Tet-Ami on Benja-Rhin, and the Council had to return the Orb to its resting place. Mace Windu was sent to Benja-Rihn, where he entered the Temple and restored the Orb. It was during this mission that the Orb drew him back in time, where he was able to rescue the natives of Carthas from the attack of the savage beasts. (T13)

Tetan
This was the name adopted by the human natives of the planet Empress Teta. It eventually came to describe any of the humans who inhabited the Empress Teta System of the Deep Core. (PH)

Tetan Crown Jewels
This collection of bejeweled artifacts contained the ceremonial headdresses and heirloom gemstones once held by Empress Teta herself. Over the millennia since her death, most of the items were recovered and returned to the Teta System's museums for archival. Several pieces, including Teta's Knives, remained missing even during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ14)

Tetan Elite
Aristocrats from the Empress Teta system who turned to the Dark Side of The Force. (DE1, DLS)

Tetan Interceptor
Originally known as the Koros Interceptor, this planetary defense fighter was developed in the wake of the Great Hyperspace War on the planet Koros Major. When the planet was renamed Empress Teta, the ship became known as the Tetan Interceptor. The four-winged fighter was distinguished by the forward mandibles that protected the cockpit, and which housed the communications and sensor systems. A laser cannon was mounted at the tip of each wing, and an ion cannon was mounted on the nose of the ship. From tip to tail, the Tetan Interceptor measured 14.2 meters in length. The ship required a pilot and co-pilot to operate. Because its primary mission profile was planetary defense, the Tetan Interceptor was not equipped with a hyperdrive. (PH)

Tetan Shocktroopers
Name given to the warriors of the Krath who wore ancient ceremonial armor. They had been warped by the Dark Side influence of Satal Keto and Aleema, and many shocktrooper pilots willingly went on suicide missions in which they flew their fighters into the opposition's command ships. (DLS)

Tetanne
This Adumari nation was crushed by the forces of the nation of Cartann, which were led by Pekaelic ke Teldan in his youth. Years later, during the Adumari negotiations with the New Republic and the Empire, Tetanne sided with the nations of Yedagon and Halbegardia in oppposing ke Teldan's plan for a Cartann-based world government. (SOA)

Tetano
This was the name used by the people who lived in the nation of Tetanna, on the planet Adumar. (SOA)

Teta's Knives
This pair of bejeweled blades were used by Empress Teta herself, as her preferred hand weapon. These knives were considered part of the Tetan Crown Jewels, but were among a small portion of the treasure which was lost over time. (SWJ14)

Te'tell, Kursk
This Bothan founded Bothan Debris, Incorporated, and worked on the planet Caamas during the early decades of the New Republic. Although outwardly the corporation worked to salvage materials and equipment on the planet, many felt that Te'tell's people were working to cover up any evidence of the Bothan involvement in the destruction of Caamas' ecosystem. In reality, Te'tell was an agent of the Bothan SpyNet who was dispatched to Caamas to ensure that no being discovered too much about the Bothan involvement in the planet's bombardment. Bothan Debris was simply a front to provide cover for his actions. (WOTC, CCW)

Teth
This temperate planet was covered with wide oceans and dense jungles. Teth was the site of an intense battle during the era of the Clone Wars. Jabba the Hutt's infant son, Rotta, was being held on the planet by Asajj Ventress, as part of a plan to discredit the Jedi Order and gain exclusive access to Hutt spacelanes for the Separatists. The Huttlet was being held in a remote monastery, high on a sheer-walled mesa. A bold attack devised by Anakin Skywalker had the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic scaling the nearly-vertical wall of the mesa to attack the monastery. The planet's iron-rich rock allowed AT-TE's to use magnetic grapples to climb the cliff face, and Skywalker's forces eventually recovered the Huttlet.

Several years later, Teth found itself under the control by Moff Sarn Shild, during the early years of the New Order. He had a palatial estate on the planet, and used it as a gathering place for the fleet which attacked Nar Shaddaa. Teth was located in the Outer Rim Territories, near both the Corporate Sector and Hutt space, and so was strategic to Shild's attack on Nar Shaddaa. Teth's location led its leaders to believe that it was safe from Imperial domination. Bria Tharen met with the planet's leaders, hoping to incite them to open rebellion, but she failed. Boba Fett tracked her here, but lost her when she left the meeting. (THG, RD, CWN, CWVG)

Teth Monastery
This was the name of the Separatist base on the planet Teth, during the height of the Clone Wars. This simple name reflected the fact that the Separatists converted an old monastery for their own needs. The monastery itself was believed to have once been a prison or other detention facilities, and its chambers ran deep into the rock that formed mesa on which it was located. From this location, the monastery overlooked the dense jungle below.

Inside the monastery, Asajj Ventress and 4A-7 established a holding facility for keeping Rotta the Huttlet prisoner, as part of a grand scheme devised by Count Dooku to discredit the Jedi Order and gain access to Hutt-controlled hyperspace lanes for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Rotta was eventually rescued by Anakin Skywalker and the clone troopers of the 501st Torrent Company, but not before they took heavy losses while getting past Ventress and her battle droids. (CWN)

Karnak Tetsu was one of the first Sorcerers to embrace violence as a means to an end, and he led the Sorcerers of Tund on several vicious attacks on Old Republic outposts. With his rise to power, Karnak Tetsu forced the Jedi Order to acknowledge the Sorcerers of Tund as heretics and a threat to the galaxy. (WOTC)

Tetsus
The Tetsus clan of Rodians was one of the oldest of clans on Rodia. However, this did not make them immune to the growing power of Navik the Red and Chattza clan. Navik nearly exterminated the Tetsus clan, and only a few members of the clan managed to smuggle themselves off Rodia. Navik continued to pursue them across the galaxy, declaring that any surviving members of the Tetsus were to be put to death.

The bounty hunter known as Greedo was a Tetsus Rodian, as was the noted entreprenuer Avaro Sookcool. (TME, SPG, OWS)

Tev, Abam
This Imperial governor ruled one of Kuat Drive Yards factory planets. She ruled it with an iron fist, running the factories like slave yards. This led to many of the workers secretly planning thei own rebellion. When the Empire was defeated at Endor, the workers revolted, ousting Tev and turning the factories' output over to the New Republic. (DESB)

Tev, Maraba
This man served as a Captain in the Alliance, and was a noted X-Wing pilot. He died just seconds before returning to the Alliance fleet from the Patriim System, bringing technical information and plans for the new Imperial superweapon, the Tarkin, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. (LTA3, MC51)

He wished to follow in the footsteps of his father, Jeoff, and the two worked well together at Thrugii. (BSS)

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

Tevv, Sian
This rebellious councilor from Sullust was responsible for bringing Nien Nunb and his raiding squad into the Alliance after the Empire forced them out of the Sullust system. He was a rebel from the start, hanging around with spacers and technicians in order to learn more about starships and droids. This dismayed his parents, who were Sullustan diplomats. One of his first friends was another Sullustan youth, Nien Nunb, who taught Tevv a great deal about starships. Eventually, though, Tevv went to school and became a diplomat like his parents. He was known as one of the youngest Sullustan diplomats to ever travel to Coruscant. However, while he was there, he witnessed first-hand the real power behind the Empire, as the Senators debated over policy changes while the military subjugated world after world. He decided that Sullust would have to join the Alliance to Restore the Republic if it truly wanted to be free. At first, Tevv was worried about what open rebellion would mean for his people. In early talks with Bria Tharen, he and Jennsar SoBilles felt that rebellion would simply mean powerful reprisal for the Empire. He was later instrumental in the development of the Declaration of a New Republic. Tevv then contracted the Krytos virus while on Coruscant, shortly after the planet was liberated from Ysanne Isard. He didn't evidence any symptoms, but underwent preventative bacta treatment to maintain his health. Because of his various dealings with the Provisional Council, Tevv was considered a possible suspect in the Delta Source leak, although he was never charged with any crimes. His innocence was proven when the ch'ala trees near the Imperial Palace were discovered to be bugged. During the hunt for Prince-Admiral Krennel, Tevv was one of the many Republic councilors who doubted the veracity of Wedge Antilles' transmission to the Republic which indicated Rogue Squadron was alive and well, though in the control of Ysanne Isard. (TLC, HTSB, KT, RD, IR, TTSB)

His skills were in the areas of intelligence and information, and he had memorized all the schedules of the nearby Imperial staging area. (HAS)

Textdoc
This was a form of written communication. (SOP)

Tey, Raana
This female Togruta was one of the Jedi Masters who taught at the satellite training facility on Taris, during the years following the Great Sith War. Raana Tey was not originally chosen to join the Jedi Order by a Jedi, but was referred to Krynda Draay to help her with the intense headaches she experienced as a child. These headaches were discovered by Krynda to be runaway Force visions, and Krynda took her on as a patient and as a student, working with Raana Tey to show the young Padawan how to control her visions. Among the Jedi Consulars, Master Raana was known as an exceptionally gifted seer, and could see vivid images of the future through the Force. Unknown to her students, Raana Tey was part of Master Lucien Draay's plan to murder of all the Padawans who were under their tutelage. Only Zayne Carrick escaped, having arrived late to a ceremony that the Padawans believed was to elevate them to the ranks of Jedi Knights. Carrick escaped, forcing Master Lucien and the other instructors to blame the murders of the Padawans on Carrick in order to cover their tracks.

A holographic recording discovered in the memory banks of the labor droid T1-LB revealed that Master Raana had experienced an intense vision through the Force, in which Sith Lords dressed in armored environment suits swept through the galaxy and laid waste to the Jedi Order. During a training mission to the Rogue Moon, Raana was sickened to see the Padawans arrive in environment suits that were similar to those she had seen in her vision. When she shared this information with her fellow Jedi Masters, they all corroborated her vision, and set in motion their plan to eliminate their Padawans. The Masters agreed that they needed to eliminate the Padawans in order to save the galaxy, and set in motion their cold-blooded plans.

After Zayne managed to escape their grasp, Master Raana and the other Masters were recalled to Coruscant by the Jedi Order, to bolster the Old Republic's forces as the Mandalorian Wars reached their height. During the trip through hyperspace, Master Raana's health began to fail, as her visions became more and more intrusive. The medication she took to help her sleep only caused more problems, and she was forced to stay awake as long as possible. During one intense vision in which she returned to the Taris academy as a youngling, Master Raana came to the conclusion that she had to kill Zayne and the Arkanian offshoot Jarael in order to end her visions and give herself some rest. Although Jarael ended up on the Arkanian Legacy, Raana Tey experienced a vision in which Zayne returned to Taris. She found a way to get to Zayne by befriending Shel Jelavan, who had once been friends with Zayne, and was now a member of the Hidden Beks.

Zayne's return to Taris brought him to the Hidden Beks, where Marn Hierogryph was working with Gadon Thek to locate Senator Goravvus. Raana Tey preyed upon Shel's emotions, since her brother had been one of the students killed in the Padawan Massacre. Raana Tey gave Shel the crystal from Shad's lightsaber as a remembrance of her brother, and continued to talk to the girl about exacting revenge on Zayne Carrick. Shel finally began to believe that Zayne had been the killer, and tried to shoot him dead. The blast deflected off the case he was carrying, giving Shel a moment to reconsider her actions. Despite Raana Tey's urgings, Shel refused to exact her revenge on Zayne. In the days that followed, Raana Tey joined Shel and Zayne on a mission to infiltrate the Jedi Tower and determine the location of Cassus Fett, as part of a mission to eliminate the Mandalorian leader.

Although she also hoped to find a way to eliminate Zayne on the mission, Raana Tey was troubled by visions of her own demise. She helped Shel find her brother's lightsaber and restore it to working condition, then set out to confront Zayne. Raana Tey was able to overpower the young man, and would have killed him herself, but Shel stepped an ran her brother's lightsaber through Raana Tey's chest. The wound was not immediately fatal, and Raana Tey made her way to the roof of the Jedi Tower, where Marn Hierogryph and Gadon Thek were waiting to rescue them. There, Zayne tried to rescue her, but her hand became trapped in a broken window. When she tried to use her lightsaber to free herself, Marn believed that she ws trying to kill Zayne, and set of the explosives that were meant for Cassus Fett. Raana Tey died knowing that Zayne was not a murderer. (KOR1, KOR5, KORH, KOR7)

This planet was the site of the ancient Jedi training facility known as the Teyan Praxeum. (SWJ11)

Teyan Apologia
This ancient set of books was written by Jedi Master Simikarty and his followers, many years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. There were six known volumes of the Teyan Apologia. Master Simikarty believed that beings were not capable of removing or eliminating negative emotions, once these emotions had become part of the being's identity, and that only infants should be chosen for training as Jedi. The Teyan Apologia included many writings and discussions on how the Jedi could improve their ability to serve the Galactic Republic. (OWS)

Teyan Praxeum
This was the name of the Jedi training facility located on the planet Teya IV, several millennia before the Battle of Yavin. Originally founded by a group of Jedi Masters that included Master Willm Lywin, the Teyan Praxeum was a small facility that maintained an enrollment of no more than fourty apprentices at one time. (SWJ11)

This heavy battle cruiser was one of the many ships that made up the Old Republic's space fleet during the height of the Clone Wars. It was dispatched as part of the task force, led by Jedi Master Nejaa Halcyon and Padawan Anakin Skywalker, sent to Praesitlyn to liberate the Intergalactic Communications Center from the Separatists. The Teyr carried the 50 clone commandos that had been assigned to Halcyon's task force. (JT)

Teyr
A Fallanassi school world, Teyr was the site of a devastating battle during the Clone Wars, in which Separatist forces handily defeated the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic. Many decades later, Teyr became a boom world after the Battle of Endor, and much of its economic growth was a result of increased tourism. However, the natives didn't tolerate off-worlders very well, and required that visitors abide by a series of visitors' guidelines. The local police forces tended to favor natives over off-worlders in any dispute, and they subtly encouraged visitors not to stay on Teyr too long. (BTS, SOL, SHPT)

This ovoid space station, formerly located on the fringes of the Naboo System, was the first installation attacked by a raiding force of starfighters under the command of Captain Sorran, during their attempt to steal several N-1 starfighters. During the battle, Dren Melne revealed that his loyalties were with Sorran's employer, and Melne shot down a number of Echo Flight pilots in an effort to force Essara Till to surrender. (SFT)

TG-421
This stormtrooper was part of the squadron under the command of Alijah Orr, on Shesharile 5. He and his detachment were ordered to search shipments that were suspected to be illegal weapons. When Orr impounded the Lumrunner, TG-421's group discovered that Shamus Falconi's cargo was preserved with Anti-Corr 113. The entire group was soon covered with the stuff, which turned their white armor a pasty shade of blue. (SWJ9)

Thabit
This planet was located in the Six Local Systems. (GMR6)

Thacker, Teluron
This humanoid worked for many years as a secret operative for the Jedi Knights, during the last decades of the Old Republic. He had seen the compassion of the Jedi when his homeworld of Eeyyon needed assistance, and he resolved himself to help them out in any way possible. After he made several accounting mistakes in his regular job, Thacker found himself shipped off to Korriban, ostensibly to establish a new branch location. However, the assignment on the remote world was a punishment for his actions, and Thacker knew it. When the Jedi contacted him about finding information on Granta Omega's arrival on Korriban, Thacker agreed to help. However, years of living on the desolate planet had hardened Thacker's soul. Rather than fully helping the Jedi, he set them up to be captured or destroyed by the Sith Lord who was commanding Omega's actions. He ostensibly provided the Jedi with a borrowed airspeeder to reach the Valley of the Dark Lords, but then turned to the local police force and claimed that the speeder had been stolen. (JQ10)

Thackery
This New Republic warship was assigned to blockade the planet Galantos to stop the advance of the Yevethan Purge. (SOL)

Thaere Interceptor
This Corellian Gunship was one of the many starships of the Thaereian Navy that was dispatched to blockade the Cularin System, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Thaere Interceptor was armed with eight heavy double laser cannons arrayed to cover the fleft, right, and front sides of the ship. Additionally, six point-defense quad laser cannons and four assault concussion missile tubes provided the vessel with incredible firepower. Ostensibly, the Thaereian Military was in the Cularin System as the Galactic Senate's official protector of the people of Cularin. Their public mission was to ensure that no Separatist forces gained a foothold in the Cularin System. However, after the blockade began refusing shipments of basic supplies, many in Cularin believed that the Thaereians were up to something more. (BIT1)

Thaere Privo
This was the second world of the Thaere System. During the Old Republic, this temperate world was populated by Bothans, Humans, and Sullustans, and was the base of the Thaereian Military. The Thaere System was located along the Corellian Spine, providing easy access to and from Thaerae Privo and the neighboring Cularin System.

The planet itself was very resource-poor, and virtually every necessity of life had to be imported. This included not only food and medicine but technology and weapons. Because of its proximity to the Corellian Spine, Thaere Privo became a regular, though undistinguished, trading center for the surrounding systems.

During the years following the Battle of Naboo, the Thaereians began to make overt motions toward controlling the Cularin System, despite reassurances to the contrary from Thurm Loogg. The exact intentions of the Thaereian Military were unknown to the natives of Cularin, although many feared that the Thaereians were in league with Count Dooku and the Separatists. When the Clone Wars broke out, the government of Thaere Privo applied for, and received, a Republic Charter for defense of the Cularin System, giving them complete military control over the system with the blessing of the Old Republic. (LFCW, NET3)

Thaereian Conflict
This was the term used by Cularin historians to describe the period of history in which the Thaereian Military took control of the Cularin System, during which the natives of the Cularin System fought back with every resource at their disposal and eventually expelled the Thaereians from their system. The Thaereian Conflict began shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, and ended at their height. Because of this, many natives of the Cularin System equated the Clone Wars with the Thaereian Conflict, and believed that the Clone Wars would end soon after the defeat of the Thaereians. (LFCW)

Thaereian High Command
This was the name of the commanding body of the Thaereian Military. The Thaereian High Command oversaw the operations of the military's various branches, including the Thaereian Navy. (BIT1)

Thaereian Military
This police organization's stated mission was "to protect the citizens of Cularin from domestic disturbances localized in the asteroid belt." Active during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo, the Thaereian Military was one of the many groups which handled intra-system military defense, before the Old Republic consolidated such control under their own military. Originally based on the three planets of the Thaere System, as well as the moon of Lonus Woud, the Thaereian Military was considered overly large for the system it protected, even during its earliest stages. The Military later expanded beyond its system boundaries, to fill the void which existed before the Old Republic began taking an interest in the defense of individual systems. This was especially true in the Cularin System, where the population became more and more lawless over the centuries, as smugglers and crimelords established bases in the Cularin System's asteroid belt. The Thaeraian Military was appointed to protect the Cularin System by the Galactic Senate, much to the chagrin of the Cularin natives. Some time later, it was discovered that the Thaereians had been working with Eelo Begraas in developing starfighter attack techniques, although their exact nature and necessity were unknown. When Cularin suddenly disappeared from the system, then reappeared just as suddenly, the Cularin Militia discovered that the Thaereians had brought in a huge number of starships to the Cularin System. While the Thaereian Military, under the command of Admiral Jir Tramsig, claimed that the build-up was for the protection of the Cularin System after the near-disaster on Cularin, the Cularin Militia remained on high alert in case a war was started. Despite assurances from the Thaereian leaders that there were just 10,000 troops protecting Cularin, underground sources discovered that more than 173,000 troops were actually ready for battle. The revelation of this fact, coupled with the existence of The Burnout space station, led many Cularin natives to believe the Thaereian Military was not what it seemed. After rumors of Thaere's ties to the InterGalactic Banking Clan were reported on Eye on Cularin, open opposition to the Thaereian Military began to grow. Graffiti and stickers with the letters TINYF - standing for "Thaere was Not Your Friend" - began to show up all over Cularin. The true depth of Thaere's alliance with the Separatists was revealed when Operation False Horizon was launched. With the onset of the Clone Wars, the Thaereian Military applied for and received military authorization to defend the Cularin System under a Republic Charter, much to the dismay of the inhabitants of the Cularin System. This action effectively meant that the entire system was under the control of the Thaereians, ostensibly with the full support of the Old Republic. (LFC, LFCW, MCT2)

Thaereian Navy
This was the name of the spacegoing portion of the Thaereian Military. (FOC3)

Thaereian Patrol
This was the branch of the Thaereian Navy that was assigned to patrol and protect the Cularin System, during the final years of the Old Republic. (WGT)

Thaereian Security Facility Number 12
This was the name used by the Thaereian Military to describe the headquarters of the Office of Peace and Secutrity in Gadrin, on the planet Cularin, after the Thaereians assumed control of the planet, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. (NET1)

Thaereian Situation
This was the term used by many historians in the Cularin System to describe the period of time in which the government of Thaere Privo was given the right to "protect" Cularin by the Galactic Senate. This period of history occurred during the final years of the Old Republic, and ended during the early stages of the Clone Wars. It was later revealed that the Thaereians had manipulated their way into power, as part of a grand scheme to subjugate Cularin and take advantage of ths system's apparent connection to the Force for their own devious ends.

The end of the so-called Thaereian Situation was begun when Gavid Lermyn survived an assassination attempt, and was able to explain to the people of Cularin what was really happening. (JCT1)

Thaereian Stock Certificate
This was one of the primary government bonds that was issued by the leaders of Thaere Privo, as a way to amass enough credits to fund their military expansion, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. (NET3)

Thaffal
This Korunnai was one of the Akk Guards who served under Kar Vastor, on the planet Haruun Kal, druing the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When Jedi Master Mace Windu arrived on the planet to recover Depa Billaba, Thaffal was one of several Akk Guards who physically opposed Windu's attempts. When Thaffal challenged Windu, the Jedi Master simply head-butted Thaffal in the nose. Despite a badly broken nose, Thaffal continued to serve Vastor, and made sure to show Windu his anger at every moment. However, when Master Windu decided to win the Summertime War by defeating the Separatist forces supporting the Balawai, Thaffal and the Akk Guards made sure to take their own fight to the Balawai. In the attempt to stop Windu's plans to reach the droid control system in Pelek Baw, Thaffal and the Akk Guards attacked the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic who were supporting the Jedi. In the battle, Thaffal was shot in the knee and then killed by Nick Rostu. (SHPT)

Thaffe
This Imperial Navy drill instructor was accused of murder on an orbital station during his hitch. Spruch Goa was the Intelligence investigator at the time, and he solved the crime, absolving Thaffe from any guilt. When they both were discharged, they teamed up and joined the local Sector Rangers. When they began investigating a counterfeit credit scam set up by Jabba the Hutt, they met Dyyz Nataz. All three were captured by Gank Killers and tortured, although none of them revealed any useful information. The Ganks then made the three play sabacc to see who would be killed first. Thaffe threw the game to save Goa, and was shot on the spot. Goa and Nataz went berserk, killing the Ganks and destroying Jabba's palace. (DESB)

Thaissen Crystal
Found only on the planet Circarpous V, these unusual crystals glowed slightly when in the presence of the Force. The glow as very faint, but could be enhanced using a dedicated power supply. This configuration was used by Emperor Palpatine to create his Force Detectors, during his hunt for fugitive Jedi Knights. (PJSB)

Thak
This horse-like reptile was a species of saurian found on the planet Eiattu. They were easily bred as racing animals, and were used in competition by the royal families. (XWWP)

Thakitillo
This green food was considered one of the galaxy's most delectable dishes, during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. A curdled dish, thakitillo was known for the tangy explosion of flavor experienced when the curds were crushed against the roof of the mouth. During the years that followed the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, the phrase "the whole thakitillo" came into use, describing the sudden realization that separate events were part of a larger experience. (SBS, SWG2P, FJ3)

Thakiz Baw'kal
This was the Korunnai name for the Downstorm, the winter winds which whipped up the gaseous seas of Haruun Kal and brought deadly, toxic gas to the lowland settlements. These toxic gases can scour the lowlands of life in just a few hours. (SHPT)

Thakwaa
This planet was the homeworld of the Thakwaash race. (WS)

Thakwaash
This was another name for the Thakwaese language. (GMR9)

Thakwaash
This alien race was native to the planet Thakwaa. They were tall, lean humanoids covered with short, brown fur. Their faces were elongated, and were dominated by broad, flat noses and wide mouths. Many other races likened their facial features to those of the Gungans, although the Thawkaash ears were much smaller. The hair on the head of a Thakwaash was considered quite beautiful, being full-bodied and deeply colored. One of the unique things about the Thakwaash was that each individual was a collection of separate minds, any one of which can take control of the individual's mind and act. (WS, GMR9)

Thakwaese
This was the native langauge of the Thakwaash race. The spoken form consisted of grunts, whinnies, and snorts, while its written form was made up of symbols that represented specific sounds. (UANT)

Thal
This was the name given to the shrines that were created by the Weequay to honor their gods. Each thal was a black, polished stone that symbolized the strength of the sant religion. The construction of a thal was only allowed on Sriluur, where the Weequays could make a regular pilgrimage to leave offerings behind. While offplanet, a Weequay individual often sacrificed a large animal to appease their gods. (GG12, NEGA)

Thalassia
This planet was best known as the base of operations for the Thalassian Slavers. (GG11)

Thalassian Slavers
This undisciplined group of slavers were more like pirates than slavers. They tend to resort to piratical methods, such as hijacking starships, when times get tough. (GG9)

Thalaxxian
This small manufacturer produced a range of specialty weaponry and tools, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Note that this may be a misspelling of Thalassian. (GFT)

Thalien, Jervo
This short-statured, blue-skinned Skrilling was one of the primary representatives of Lhosan Industries, working with the planetary government of Taris during the era of the Great Sith War. A wealthy entrepreneur in his own right, Jervo Thalien's primary function was to ensure that the tax credits and financial incentives provided by Taris' government remained profitable enough for Lhosan to maintain its headquarters on the planet. He worked behind the scenes to have Goravvus installed as Taris' first Senatorial representative to the Galactic Senate, in exchange for Goravvus working to earn concessions from the Old Republic. Jervo was later named Chairman of Lhosan Industries, and made the decision to abandon their facilities on Taris during the Mandalorian Wars.

However, Thalien retained his ties to Taris, and later learned that Senator Goravvus had planned to expose the truth of his appointment if Lhosan Industries didn't return to Taris. The Mandalorian Wars interrupted this action, but Thalien took no chances. He put out a bounty for the capture of Senator Goravvus, and even hired Marn Hierogryph to return to Taris and learn about the Senator's location. Hierogryph discovered that Goravvus was leading the resistance that grew against the Mandalorian invaders. He hired Marn Hierogryph to locate the Senator and ensure his capture, in exchange for getting the charges from the Padawan Massacre against Hierogryph and Zayne Carrick dropped. To ensure Hierogryph's success, Thalien planted a bomb in his briefcase, but the weapon was disabled when Carrick used the case to deflect a blaster bolt. Hierogryph managed to escape from Thalien's control, but Jervo never forgot the trouble he had caused. Thus, when Hierogryph showed up on the space station known as Jervo's World, he demanded that Bardron and his Krish thugs capture Hierogryph and any other being he was associated with. (KOR1, KOR4, KORH, KOR7, KOR13)

Thalkuss
This man was the Imperial Governor of the planet Brintooin, during the early years of the New Republic. He remained in power only because of the support of Colonel Zel Johans, the decorated war hero who commanded the Hell's Hammers Elite Armor Unit. (SWJ15, OWS)

Thall, Norjax
This aging mercenary was once part of the Flamestrike Legion which defended Bamula Sector. After the Empire forcibly disbanded the Legion, Thall fled the sector and stayed one step ahead of the Empire by seeking employment as a mercenary. However, he found himself fighting battles against cultures that were unprepared for modern warfare, so Thall sought out more noble work. He was eventually hired by the New Cov Boimolecule Company as a security officer, but this was not what he had in mind. He left that job and became a part of the more "civilized" warfare of organized crime. He was discovered by Saujutta-Ok-Topii when he was trying to neutralize a Syndicate One operation. The Pan-preneur and her opponent settled their difference without bloodshed, and she insisted that Thall become part of her team. He agreed, and became the Syndicate's weapons and tactical expert. (SWJ8)

Thallium
An element used by Umak Leth to contain altered molecules. (DESB)

Thamassh
This skittish creature was once native to the Yuuzhan Vong homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar. It was bred in captivity by the members of the Priest caste for generations, primarily for the unusual scent gland located on its dorsal side. This gland produced a fragrant vapor which the priests believed would purify any being who walked through it. (UF)

Than, Torgo
This Anzati once tried to capture Aurra Sing, after a bounty was placed on her head during her early career as a bounty hunter. Tahn himself was physically attracted to Aurra Sing, and believed that she had been equally attracted to him. Tahn first encountered Aurra Sing when she was entrusted to the Anzati by Walla the Hutt, who wanted her trained to be an assassin. He went out of his way to become her teacher, despite the fact that she was not of the Anzati race. After completing Aurra Sing's training, Tahn killed Anis and fled the Anzati, hoping to find Aurra Sing and experience her beauty again. However, it was Tahn who was actually the hunted in this case. Aurra Sing had placed the bounty on her own head, as part of an elaborate scheme to claim the bounty which the Anzati people had placed on Tahn's own head for murdering Anis. Aurra Sing easily captured Torgo Tahn and returned him to his people for sentencing. (ASNG)

Than, Torgo

Than donya sinyin
This phrase, from the High Tongue of Corellia, was a greeting and invitation to come inside. (MJH)

Thanabo, Shang-Troy
This ancient Jedi Master, an alien being who resembled a white-skinned Nautolan, was one of the first of the Jedi Masters to take an apprentice. In fact, Shang-Troy took to siblings - twin boys from Boranall - as his Padawans. He discovered the children when they were still in their mother's womb; their connection to the Force brought him across the galaxy to Boranall to find them. Master Thanabo helped the mother give birth, but was forced to pull the two boys apart to get them out of the womb. This seemed to scar one brother, making him different from the other. He took the twin boys to his training facility and raised them himself, teaching them everything he knew about the Force, and learning a few things from the twins along the way. The bonds between then grew strong, and when the boys were old enough, Shang-Troy took them out into the galaxy to fight against evil. However, when the younger brother earned the love of a beautiful woman, the older one grew jealous and angry. He tried to sneak into the girl's room and steal her love, but she recognized the birth-scar on the older brother. This forced a wedge into the brother's love for each other, a wedge that Master Thanabo could do nothing to prevent or resolve. In their anger, the boys started fighting, and Master Thanabo tried to intervene. Blinded by their anger, the twins cut down their teacher and killed him. Instead of stopping them, Mater Thanabo's death only added to their hatred of each other. Calling upon huge amounts of Force energy, the two brothers destroyed themselves, the girl, and the entire planet. The resulting explosion created a star in the heavens. The story of Master Thanabo and his two Padawans became legend within the Jedi Order, and served as the basis for two of the Order's most prominent rules: a Master could only take a single Padawan learner, and intense emotion must be controlled or an individual risked being consumed by the Dark Side of the Force. (T14)

Thanamiroc, Trone
This minor crimelord was one of the primary underworld figures in the settlement of Mos Taike, on Tatooine, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Bren Kingal eventually hired an independent mercenary to hunt down and eliminate Thanamiroc, after he learned that the criminal had ties to the Empire. (SWGAL)

Thanas, Malinza
The daughter of Gaerial Captison and Pter Thanas, she was four and one-half years old when Thrackan Sal-Solo rose to power on Corellia. After her father died of Knowt's Disease, and Gaeriel was killed at Corellia during the Battle of Fondor, Malinza was adopted by a well-placed Bakuran family. She was also sponsored by Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, as part of Luke's promise to Gaeriel that the child would be all right. Malinza was as beautiful as her mother, with her left eye being green and her right eye being grey. She was also a gifted musician, and received a prodigy chair with the Bakuran National Symphony. However, her experience with politics led her to form the Freedom movement, in an effort to ensure Bakura was able to stand on its own in the galaxy. Much of the impetus behind the Freedom movement came from the loss of Malinza's parents, especially Gaeriel Captison's death at Corellia. Malinza believed that Bakura had been forced to lend its warships to the Republic's efforts to smash the Sacorrian Triad, and hated being beholden to the Republic. She used her name and her contacts to ensure that Freedom was considered a legitimate organization, and began rallying the Bakuran people to work toward establishing their freedom from the New Republic and the rest of the galaxy. She secretly accepted funding from Deputy prime Minister Blaine Harris, realizing that Freedom couldnb't operate without credits to support its efforts. Inside, Malinza felt that it was in Bakura's best interests to join the New Republic in an effort to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong, but her belief in the Cosmic Balance made her oppose the Republic. She feared that other members of her family would die if the Republic successfully repelled the alien invaders. After Prime Minister Cundertol was exposed as a traitor to Bakura, Vyram and Malinza were sentenced to "rehabilitation" for their part in the Freedom movement. In order to prove their innocence, they had to prove that the money Cundertol stole from the Bakuran treasury was used to finance his human-replica droid body and his plans with the Ssi-ruuk. (AS, BP, NEGC, FH2)

Thanas, Pter
This Imperial Navy Commander was stationed at Bakura after he refused to destroy a Talz village on Alzoc III. While on Bakura, he was the commanding officer aboard the Dominant. Thanas had been assigned to monitor the mining operations on Alzoc III, and discovered that the native Talz worked harder if they were fed more food. He arranged his budgets, and nearly tripled the output of the operation. When a new commanding officer reduced the food allotments to the Talz, the Talz leader protested. The new commander ordered Thanas to wipe out the village, and he refused. While on Bakura, he began questioning his belief in the Emperor's New Order. After the attack by the Ssi-ruuk and the Alliance's offer of aid, Thanas only became more disturbed by the New Order's ideal. When the battle was over, he gave up his Imperial commission and joined the Alliance. He remained on Bakura, helping Gaerial Captison restore the planet's government. Their relationship blossomed, and they were married eight years after the Ssi-ruuk invasion. Their marriage produced a single daughter, Malinza, before Thanas was diagnosed with Knowt's disease. The disease took his life when Malinza was three, following Gaerial's unsuccessful bid for re-election as Prime Minister. (TB, AS, TBSB)

Thane, Beed
This robust, bearded man served as the Archon on the planet Vergill, representing his planet to the Hapes Consortium during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Known more for his drinking than his politics, Thane scoffed at Leia Organa-Solo's plea for help in driving off the Yuuzhan Vong. He argued that the Consortium should remain neutral, since the Yuuzhan Vong had thus far left the Hapes Cluster alone. Thane and his supporters formed a sizable portion of the Consortium, and threatened to keep the Hapans out of the struggle. However, he challenged Prince Isolder to a duel, after Isolder confronted him. Isolder won the challenge, forcing Thane to throw his vote toward helping the New Republic. However, after the destruction of a large part of the Hapan fleet at the hands of Thrackan Sal-Solo, Thane found himself suddenly vindicated. (JE)

Thane, Govin
This Imperial Security Bureau agent was dispatched to put a halt to the Alliance's plans to evacuate refugees from Bespin's Cloud City, shortly before the Battle of Endor. He employed a mixture of Imperial soldiers and bounty hunters, including Jod Kast and Zardra, to ensure that the refugees did not escape.

Thangar Pirates
According to local legends, this band of pirates was wiped out when their starships crashed into the vast, desert wastelands of Tatooine, many years before the Galactic Civil War. Local scouts and explorers searched for years to find the wreckage of the ship, but no evidence was ever found. The possibility of the ship's existence attracted many treasure hunters to Mos Eisley, and more than a few unscrupulous "guides" brought them into the desert for the chance to locate it. (GMR7)

Thanu
Native to the volcanic regions of Kamur, this unusual carnivore was a member of the family known as silicavores. This meant that they survived by consuming rocks, although the thanu actually consumed rocks which contained trapped plant and animal matter, thereby gaining organic nutrients while expelling the crushed rocks it didn't digest. Thanu resemble large knobs of flesh, standing over a meter tall and having a number of bulbous mouths and arms around their trunk. They moved about on unusual "rolling" toes which were actually stone feet developed early in their lifecycle and manipulated by a complex musculature. They use their arms, which contain a group of sticky tendrils, to catch their prey and draw it near to one of their mouths.

Tharak
This was the primary continent of the planet Fyodos. It once was the site of the planet's traffic control station, before the Great Cleansing. Hidden inside a mountain, it was jealously guarded by the Fyodoi shamen, for hidden inside the station were various high-tech weaponry. All of the Fyodoi shamen carry a small transmitter which will alert them if the control station was breeched by a common Fyodoi. (PG2)

He was employed at Cargan's Gustatorium, and was Teeks' regular server during this time. He agreed to talk with Joram Kithe and Mapper Gann about Teeks' disappearance, since Teeks regularly paid him for the information he provided. Tharb himself was an ex-convict who could only find work as a food server, but his contacts with the underworld in Nehass and across Tarhassan proved valuable for the work Teeks was doing. (SWI73)

Thardis, Syd
This man was a member of the Believers during the final years of the Old Republic. A former employee of the crimelord Nirama, Thardis was among the small band that was summoned by the Darkstaff to eliminate the freelance agents who threatened to free the Oblee and destroy the ancient artifact, sometime during the Clone Wars.

Tharen
This escort frigate was part of the Alliance's naval fleet, during the year leading up to the Battle of Hoth. (SWI74)

Tharen, Bria
This young Corellian woman was the daughter of Renn and Sera Tharen. A student of archaeology, she was fascinated by the ways of the Jedi Knights, and studied anything and everything about the Clone Wars. At seventeen, though, she decided that her life was lacking something. Just after completing her undergraduate studies in preparation for advanced schooling on Coruscant, she sold her jewelry and joined the religious colony on Ylesia to begin worshipping the Oneness. She became deeply addicted to the Exultation performed by the t'landa Til, and so worked extra hard in the spice mines, hoping to achieve a higher state of understanding. It was about a year after she joined the colony that she met Han Solo. Their friendship grew steadily, much to Bria's dismay, for she was a devoted follower of the t'landa Til religion. However, it was Han who discovered her love of archaeology, and this led to Teroenza assigner her the position of archival and cataloguer of his collection of treasures. Bria was happiest at this point as a pilgrim, and allowed herself to become more and more attached to Han. When Han told her of the true nature of the Ylesian colonies, she initially thought he was lying in order to win her over. She eventually came to realize that he was right after forcing herself to observe the t'landa Til during Exultations, and worked with Han to escape from the planet. After attending the wedding of Muuurgh and Mrrov on Togoria, they returned to Bria's family holdings on Corellia. There, Han's years of swoop riding and scheming with Garris Shrike came back to haunt him, as Bria's brother and former fiancé' recognized him as someone else. They were forced to leave Corellia, but not without the support of her fatherm, Renn. They went to Coruscant, where the t'landa Til and the Hutts tried to capture them for their escape from Ylesia. Bria, burdened by the emotional detachment from the Exultation and by the presumed impediment to Han's career, left him one day and returned on her own to Corellia. After this, Bria met up with Lanah Malo, and began a crusade against the Hutts and the t'landa Til. She remained on or near Corellia for four years, working with underground resistance there, then disappeared. She resurfaced on Devaron, and was nearly discovered by Han, who was there looking for work. Bria had been serving as Admiral Trefaren's assistant. At this time, Aruk the Hutt placed a 50,000-credit bounty on her live capture. Bria eventually joined the Alliance, and rose quickly through the ranks. She was the mastermind behind the Red Hand Squadron, and was the primary proponent of the tactics used in the Battle of Ylesia. She was successful in bringing down the Besadii operation there, and secured a huge amount of funding for the Alliance be taking artifacts, spice, and loose credits from the operations there. This angered Han and the smugglers who helped in the battle, for they thought they were going to be paid. This was the final time she parted ways with Han. She then accepted an assignment to support the resistance on Toprawa, where they had received the plans of the first Death Star. As the Empire tracked the plans to the planet, they struck with incredible force. Most of Red Hand Squadron was killed supporting the resistance, and Bria took a suicide capsule before she could be captured. Boba Fett delivered the news of her death to Han on Tatooine, shortly before Han accepted Ben Kenobi's offer for transportation to Alderaan. (TPS, THG, RD)

Tharen, Pavik
Bria Tharen's brother, Pavik had many of the physical and personal traits of his mother, Sera. A short, thin young man with green eyes and dark hair, Pavik simply wanted to maintain the status quo within the family, which primarily meant that he could live a sedentary life of luxury. When Bria returned from Ylesia with Han Solo, Pavik was suspicious of the young man, both from a selfish desire to protect his wealth and from genuine concern for his sister. Later, it was Pavik who recognized Han from one of the many scams he ran with Garris Shrike, precipitating Han and Bria fleeing Corellia. (TPS)

Tharen, Renn
This young Corellian man started out as a pilot for a shipping company. A shrewd businessman as well as a pilot, Renn worked his way the corporate ladder until he eventually owned the operation. A private man, Renn bought a lrage tract of land for family estate as a buffer between himself and his neighbors. Renn married a young woman named Sera, who bore him two children: a son named Pavik and a daughter named Bria. Sera's social machinations grated on Renn, who was unable to confront his wife until Bria returned from Ylesia with Han Solo. Renn felt a bond with Han, and recognized that the young man - no matter what his past held - could someday become a true hero in his own right. He chided both Sera and Pavik for worrying only about their inheritances, and chose to provide Han and Brea with enough credits to get to Coruscant and try to establish a life for themselves. When Bria decided to leave Han, feeling that she was holding him back, she asked her father to help get Han off the wanted list and set up with enough credits to live happily. Renn obliged, feeling for them both in their time of need. (TPS)

Tharen, Sera
Whatever emotional gifts Sera had as a young Corelliam woman, she soon lost them after achieving her goal: marrying into a wealthy family. This she accomplished when she married Renn Tharen, the president of a prominent shipping company. She then set out to achieve social standing by waving her husband's wealth in everyone's face. Her social responsibilities demanded a family setting, and she gave Renn two children - Pavik and Bria. However, while Pavik seemed to take to his mother's pettiness, it drove Bria away. After Sera manipulated Bria into an engagement with Dael Levare, Brea fled the family to join the pseudo-religious colony on Ylesia, and was not heard from for a year. When she returned, Sera immediately began to harp on her daughter. It didn't help that Bria returned with Han Solo, a youth Sera held in low regard because of his origins as a street orphan. Sera invited Dael into the house for lunch, in hopes of driving Han away in shame. When Pavik recognized Han as a con artist who used to work for Garris Shrike, Sera became increasingly agitated. She demanded that he leave, but Renn intervened. Angered and annoyed at Sera's lack of family values, Renn blamed her for Bria's disappearance and praised Han for returning her. Sera was unable to comprehend this, and fled to her rooms. (TPS)

Very few knew that Thar'quan was also a deep-cover agent of the Alliance, and was the protege of Sasnak Toxis. Thar'quan was once captured and imprisoned in the Spice Mines of Kessel, but was freed with the help of Larq Thur. (CRO, AIR)

Thawley, Efros
This short-statured man served as a soldier in the Thaereian Military, during the final years of the Old Republic. He was a member of the ambush squad that was led by Lorwin Derlynn, and served as the team's commincations officer when they were dispatched to a Cularin Militia based in the asteroids of the Cularin System, as part of a system-wide blockade. The blockade was ostensibly set up to protect Cularin from Separatist invasion. However, the Thaereians had other plans for Cularin. Thawley respected Derlynn's ability to command without overstepping his authority, but had no concerns of his own about what they were fighting for. Thus, when Derlynn was shown evidence of Thaereian misdoings in the Cularin System, Thawley supported his decision to allow ships through the blockade. (BIT1)

The Battle of Ahto: A Memoir
This history of the Imperial occupation of the planet Manaan and the effects it had on the Selkath was written by Fewash Welko. The book chronicled the Selkath plans for rebellion, as well as the sudden appearance of a mysterious stranger who knew as much about the Order of Shasa as the Selkath. After the Battle of Endor, the book was translated from the Selkath language into Basic, for reading and investigation by the rest of the galaxy. It was then that people realized the Selkath had been visited by Darth Vader, not a saving Jedi as many had suspected. The memoirs told of the swift way in which the Selkath infiltrated the Imperial base and eliminated any opposition. Their attack was so fast that the base Commander could only order a retreat in the face of it, leaving the tourists who had traveled to Manaan behind. However, the Selkath didn't stop at killing the Imperials. They found themselves possessed by a bloodlust that consumed them, and they slaughtered the innocent tourists as well. Jedi scholars came to believe that Vader had tricked them into the attacks, in an effort to force the Selkath down a path toward the Dark Side of the Force, where they might have become a powerful weapon for Emperor Palpatine.

The funding for the original production was acquired from several sources, including a large donation from the parents of Finis Valorum. After its surprisingly successful run on Coruscant, the opera was taken on the road by a troupe of Biths, and appeared on a wealth of planets over the next twenty years. It was staged at the prestigious Coruscant Opera house in the year leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (COD)

Individual episodes featured an actor who was garbed like Emperor Palpatine, who served as judge and jury for simple litigation cases. Another actor, dressed as Darth Vader, portrayed the Emperor's bailiff. Cases were tried with an exaggerated form of "Imperial justice," in an effort to parody the Empire's cruelty and make it more obvious to the galaxy. This was a spoof on the popular courtroom-based television series, The People's Court. (T14)

The Galactic Federation of Free Alliances versus Luke Skywalker
This was the title of criminal case YOO43-17014, in which Chief of State Natasi Daala and the Galactic Alliance claimed that Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker was responsible for allowing Jacen Solo to carry out the reign of terror that precipitated the Second Galactic Civil War.

The Light Side of the Subelectronic Force
This was one of the many treatises written by Nasdra Magrody, in which he speculated that subelectronic devices could be implanted into the brain of a Force-sensitive individual. These devices would then allow the individual to "influence artificial intelligences of varying complexities at the individual synaptic level." In simple terms, these devices allowed a Force-sensitive individual to control droids through the Force. (OWS, NEGD)

The Trickery of Vosdia Nooma
This Rodian drama was written and produced during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, and was generally considered more of a political statement than a pure Rodian drama. Written by Hishinu Booj and endorsed by Senator Onaconda Farr, The Trickery of Vosida Nooma was laden with symbolism and allegory that was at once entertaining and a heavy-handed propaganda machine for the Military Creation Act. The play revolved around the title character, whose daughter was poisoned by the bite of a bug, an event which draws the community together. Nooma then begins using his new-found "fame" to spout political rhetoric, and eventually was eleceted baron of the town of Yusk. He begins heavily taxing the local farmers, despite the growing unrest being stirred by a noted soldier. The soldier begins building his own army, while Nooma was unable to decide whether or not to fight back. A Paladin character arrives to urge Nooma to build up his own army, in direct parallels to Chancellor Palpatine's call for an Army of the Republic. The remainder of the drama centers on the bloody conflict that follows, along with Nooma's eventual downfall. The bloody conflict was meant to indicate the future of the Old Republic, should the Military Creation Act not be passed by the Galactic Senate. (HNN5)

The Universal Energy Field
This was one of the many treatises written by Nasdra Magrody, in which he speculated that subelectronic devices could be implanted into the brain of a Force-sensitive individual.

Theed
Founded 800 years before the Battle of Naboo, this was the capital city of the planet Naboo. Theed was bounded and bisected by water, although it was located at the edge of an unusually tall steppeland. The city was surrounded by numerous waterfalls which formed over the millennia, as urban expansion was allowed to occur as long as it was integrated into the environment. The original waterfall that fell over the edge of the steppeland was known as Theed Falls. This abundance of waterfalls kept the air surrounding the city in constant motion, and many of the Naboo claimed that Theed's air was exhilaratingly fresh because of it. The architecture of Theed was a mixture of classical domes and ornate arches, with wide thoroughfares that allowed all manner of traffic to reach Theed Palace. (E1N, IWE1, SWG2P, LJ4)

During the last decades of the Old Republic, the Theed Generator operated constantly, drawing raw plasma energy from the core of the planet and converting it into usable power for much of the population of Naboo. It even supplied power to Kwilaan Starport. During the Battle of Naboo, the Theed Generator was the site of an epic lightsaber battle between Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Darth Maul. In the end, only Obi-Wan Kenobi survived the battle. (SON)

Theed Quoits
This garden sport was developed on the planet Naboo, where it was a popular pasttime in the capital city of Theed. The sport involved throwing metal rings at a stake or pole that was located in a small body of water. This stake was located on a dish-like platform, and the object of the game was to toss the rings so that they completely encircled the stake. Scoring was based on the number of rings around the stake, with secondary scoring being based on those rings that landed on the pltaform, closest rings to the stake. The fact that Theed quoits was played on water was just one of the primary variations. Any missed throws had to be retrieved from the water, forcing the player to reach into the water. Because many aquatic predators were native to the waters of Naboo, this was often a risky manevuer, and forced players to make the most accurate throws possible. (LF8)

Theed Royal Palace
The primary seat of the Naboo government, Theed Palace dominated the incredibly beautiful city of Theed. Deep in its core, the Naboo had built a power generator that took plasma energy directly from the planet's core and harnessed it to create electricity and heat. Adjacent to the Palace, across tributaries of the Solleu River, was the hangar in which the royal family maintained their starship, and in which the Space Fighter Corps maintained their small fleet of N-1 starfighters. It was a royal family tradition that each new ruler of the planet Naboo add a tower or turret to the Palace, and to enhance the beauty of existing structures.

The entrance to the Palace was formed from a of wide, marble staircase, which led to an expansive forecourt that was surrounded by statues of some of Naboo's greatest philosophers. (IWE1, CVD)

Theed School of Technology and Engineering
This was one of the most prestigious schools for technology and engineering, located on the planet Naboo in the capital city of Theed. (GMR1)

Theed Spaceport
Built with speed and urgency in the years following the Battle of Naboo, the Theed Spaceport was a utilitarian spaceport designed to handle the traffic of visitors and tourists as well as three diplomats: Queen Jamillia, Senator Padme' Amidala, and Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. The Naboo built the spaceport on the lowlands below the cliffs that supported the city of Theed and the royal hangar. Construction of the spaceport was funded by the reparations received from the settlements provided after the Trade Federation's invasion of Naboo. The builders maintained a certain level of aesthetic, however, given the main platform a sweeping, elegant curve that matched the cliffside. (IWE2)

Theelin
This near-human species was nearly bred out of existence, by the time of the Galactic Civil War. Their own genetic make-up became their downfall, as the union of male and female gametes often resulted in incompatabilities that doomed the tiny embryo. It was later discovered that Theelin individuals were more compatable with pure human stock, but crossbreeding was insufficient to keep the Theelin population alive. As a people, the Theelin race was noted for its beautiful musical works, although most of their most stirring works were written to lament the race's eventual extinction. (DE1, SWDB)

Thek, Gadon
This dark-skinned man, a native of the Lower City of Taris, was the leader of the Hidden Bek swoop gang during the height of the Mandalorian Wars, some 3,963 years before the Battle of Yavin. He had tried to join the growing resistance to the Mandalorian forces that took control of Taris, but the sudden disappearance of Constable Noana Sowrs' family. The Constable blamed the Hidden Beks, despite the fact that Thek and his people were not involved. In an attempt to regain the Constable's trust, Thek decided to turn Zayne Carrick over to the Constable. When Zayne and Mission Vao discovered that Brejik had been behind the kidnapping, he gave Zayne his freedom and exiled Brejik from the gang.

Gadon Thek then tried to arrange a meeting with Constable Sowrs, to return her children and make an offer to join the resistance. The meeting was interrupted by several events, including Raana Tey's attempt to get Shel Jelavan to kill Zayne Carrick and the sudden reappearance of Senator Goravvus. Thek's arguments on Zayne's behalf were echoed by Goravvus, who ordered Raana Tey to stay her hand and leave Zayne alone. When Thek then explained that it was Zayne who found the children of Constable Sowrs, the meeting turned toward more friendly discussions about what to do about the Mandalorians. A plan was developed to attack Cassus Fett in the Jedi Tower of the Upper City, but Zayne discovered that Fett had already fled the building.

At the same time, the Mandalorians launched their own attacdk on the resistance, forcing Thek to order a full retreat to The Pit. When Marn Hierogryph refused to leave Zayne behind, Thek reulctantly agreed to take him to the Jedi Tower to rescue Zayne.

In the years that followed, Gadon Thek saw the Black Vulkars move in an take control of the planet, and he held no love whatsoever for Davik Kang. (KOTOR, KOR7)

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

Thelaa
This contemporary of Hari Seldona was a student at Alderaan University, and a secret dissident during the rise of the New Order. She was a quiet student of music, and heralded from a backwater world that had thus far avoided Imperial invasion. She had a good deal of promise, but the oppression of the Empire seemed to dampen her creative spirit. It was later discovered that many of her later works were actually plagiarized versions of works created by the forgotten composer Salyer. She was expelled, and she fled into the wilderness where she had been secretly running guns to the Alliance. She was captured by Imperial agents who had been following her, and was subjected to deep interrogation. The agents tried to have her transported to the newly-arrived Death Star for further interrogation, but their calls were ignored. Thelaa and her torturers were killed when the Death Star destroyed Alderaan. (ISU)

This young girl was training to be a Jedi Knight, under the tutelage of Soara Antana, at the same time Anakin Skywalker was training with Obi-Wan Kenobi, some five years after the Battle of Naboo. She was easily distinguished by her bright, copper- and -gold-colored hair, and by the ribbons she wove into her Padawan braid. Darra was badly injured during a mission to rescue Old Republic scientists on Haariden, after taking a blaster bolt in the thigh. Note that Jedi Quest: The False Peace indicates that Darra was injured on Norah. The bolt had been laced with a chemical charge, and she went into shock almost immediately. She recovered from her injuries, and later helped her Master oversee the relief efforts on the planet Nuralee. Despite her trials, Darra was known among her fellows studetns as a bright and shining individual, full of life and gusto that was infectious. Darra and Master Antana were later chosen as part of a four-pair team to travel to Korriban and apprehend Granta Omega and Jenna Zan Arbor. Darra, along with Anakin and fellow students Tru Veld and Ferus Olin, accompanied their Masters to Korriban. On the remote world, they found themselves besieged by the Dark Side of the Force, and the Padawans were helpless as Anakin began to argue with them at every turn. They realized that Ferus - not Anakin - had been chosen for early promotion to the rank of Jedi Knight, but couldn't understand why Anakin would allow his anger to come before the mission. After Tru was hurt, the team regrouped for a final attack. In the battle, Darra was forced to leap in front of several blaster bolts to protect Ferus. She took the blasts in the chest, and later died from her injuries. For many years afterward, Ferus continued to hold himself responsible for her death, and he eventually left the Jedi Order because it this. Note that Jedi Quest: The False Peace also names this character as Darra Haariden. (JQ1, JQ4, JQ9, JQ10, LJ3)

Thelvin Order of Barundi
This sect sought to completely isolate itself from the rest of galactic society, several thousand years before the Battle of Yavin. To ensure their isolation, the Thelvins even developed their own language, allowing them to speak amongst themselves without being understood. The basis of the Thelvin Order was the attainment of perpetual happiness, and their society's laws were very strict in promoting this happiness. Any member of society which did not work toward harmony was subject to immediate capital punishment, and were beaten to death with thorny flowers which exuded a deadly poison. (UYV)

This former member of the Corellian Security Force was drummed out of the force after being wounded in an argument with a suspect. The injury left him without the use of his left eye, which he covered with a black patch like a pirate.

Exiled from law enforcement, Themog eventually turned to a life of crime, and became the crimelord controlled who much of the underground activity on the planet Chrona, during the early years of the New Republic. Themog worked to strengthen his position of power by bribing Arno Gallorr and Moira Kruger, hoping to counteract the work of Mortris Gallorr to free the planet from criminal control. Unknown to most, he was also romantically involved with Moira, and convinced her to allow him to use the Grinder Dance Hall as a hideout. When Mortris began hiring mercenaries to protect the citizens of Corestrike, Themog kidnapped Mortris, his grandson Selmar, and his daughter-in-law Serise. He held them ransom against a group of determined freelance protectors, until his thugs were defeated and Themog was defeated in a firefight. (SWJ12)

Theory of Universal Reference
This was the name given to the scientific discoveries of the ancient Drall scientist Tiran, who proved that space and time were connected, and that the speed of light was an absolute bonudary that could not be crossed. His theories were proven some 10,000 years before the discovery of hyperspace, and were once deemed to be irrefutable. Millennia later, investigation into the Theory revealed that it did not preclude an object traveling faster than light; it just prohibited an object traveling at the speed of light. (MBS)

The exact reason for their actions was lost over several centuries, but the Therans continued to drive off larger ships, an action deemed by the Newcomers as an attempt to keep Nam Chorios isolated from the galaxy. A civil war of sorts between the Therans and the Newcomers raged for a number of years until the basis for the feud was revealed by Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa-Solo. (POT)

Theras
One of the original political prisoners left on the planet Nam Chorios by the Grissmaths, Theras was attuned to the Force. He was contacted by the Spook crystals, which had realized that the drochs used to kill the prisoners were growing in power. The Spooks feared that the drochs would leave Nam Chorios and inflict the galaxy, and used Theras as a sort of prophet. He brought word to the Oldtimers that the drochs could secret themselves on any ship leaving the planet, and that ships of large size could house enough drochs to consume the galaxy. Theras and his followers reworked the planetary defenses to fire on incoming and outgoing ships over a certain mass, in an effort to prevent the drochs from leaving. (POT)

Ther-das
This Arcona was educated at the Lerct Historical Institute, before serving as the acquisitions director for the Zuliria Museum of Antiquities, working in the ancient weaponry department. During his studies at Lerct, Ther-das became addicted to salt, and spent many years trying to overcome his addiction. After growing tired of the routine at the museum, Ther-das gathered some acquaintences to him and formed the Zulirian Swordmasters. Originally dedicated to the study of weaponry, Ther-das began pushing the group to use their collected weapons and skills as vigilantes. (AIR)

There's a fog over Celadon City
This was the pass phrase given to Maarek Stele by Admiral Mordon, when Stele first arrived aboard the Star Destroyer Vengeance. Mordon had sensed something in Stele, and offered him the chance to talk with the Admiral at any time, simply by providing the pass phrase. (TIEP)

Thergum Pits
Located on the planet Essowyn, this was the primary mining operation founded by Messert Mines Corporation. They purchased the rights to the Pits from the Tresycht nation of Saurtons, and used Tresycht forces to subjugate the nearby Yiszte nation to avoid any contention over ownership of the land. (PG1)

Thermabag
This small sack was used to keep foods warm or cold during transport. Essentially, they were insulated lunch bags. (SWJ9)

Thermaboom
This was an explosive material that detonated when warmed. (DN1)

Therma-canteen
This ancient form of container was used to transport liquids while maintaining their temperature. (TOJC)

Thermajug
This was a vessel that coud carry a beverage or soup and maintain its temperature over a long period of time. (SWJ2)

Thermal Bomb
This was a form of explosive developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. Rather than exploding and spraying an area with shrapnel or other material, a thermal bomb detonated into a ball of incredible heat, burning everything within its blast radius into a charred husk. (MBS)

Thermal cape
A poncho made from metallic foil and spider silk, it keeps the wearer's body heat inside. They were often called T-capes. (SME, COJ)

Thermal Detonator
A round bomb used by smugglers and mercenaries, most of these weapons originated from a design first built on Talesia. They were essentially a casing which contained a shaped charge of baradium. The use of baradium made the weapon extremely dangerous, even for the being who threw it, as the element was highly unstable. Depending on the size of the charge, a thermal detonator would essentially atomize all material within a spherical area centered on the charge itself. Anything outside the range of the blast sphere remained virtually untouched. The baradium was activated by a switch, which would release a short burst of energy into the baradium mass, causing it to explode. (E6, CPL, ROE, EGW)

Thermal Dissipator
This form of starship counter-detection system was developed during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Originally used on the StealthX fighter, the thermal dissipator altered the heat signature produced by the starfighter, reducing or eliminating the ability of most infrared or heat-based sensor systems to detect the fighter. (LF3)

Thermal Exhaust Port Mission
This was another slang term used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe a Skywalker Surprise or a Thousand Shot, which was any mission that was given one chance in a thousand to succeed. (GG9)

Thermal Grenade
This explosive device generated an intense ball of heat when detonated, literally melting everything in its blast radius. They were illegal to possess or use, during the height of the New Order. (UYV)

Thermal Mine
This form of explosive device was employed in bringing down large buildings. It had a controllable blast, which enabled demolitions crews to safely bring down structures. (IA)

Thermal Plastoid
This was a form of plastoid that was modified to serve as an explosive. Used during the final decades of the Old Republic, thermal plastoid was one of the most readily-available explosives on the black market, where it found its way into the hands of terrorists across the galaxy. The explosive capability of thermal plastoid was denoted by a numerical grade, with 500-grade being among the most powerful compositions available. (RCTZ)

Thermal Shield
Originally developed some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, thermal shields were a form of personal shield that protected the user against intense differences in temperature. The primary motivation for these shields came from fiefighters and other groups that worked around open flames, although they were later modified for military use. The only drawback to a military thermal shield was that it offered no protection against projectile or energy weapons. Note that the episode guide for Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Cat and Mouse indicates that a large-scale thermal shield was used aboard the Separatist dreadnaught Invincible, and that this shield was capable of deflecting incoming proton torpedoes. (KOTOR, CWTV38)

Thermal Shock-wave Generator
This explosive projectile weapon used an intense power source to create a sphere of incredible heat around its shell casing. This heat allowed the thermal shock-wave generator to burn its way through metal and duracrete with relative ease, until the inner shell impacted solid ground and exploded. The intense blast of the main shell created a shock wave that brought down the already-weakened structure around it. (DOG)

Thermal suit
A thin, lightweight coverall worn over normal clothing that provides protection from extreme temperatures. They were often referred to as T-suits. (SME, COJ)

Thermal Veristat
This device was used in the construction of racing engines, and was responsible for regulating the internal temperature of these engines. Because of the incredible heat they generate, thermal veristats were required in podracer engines. (IG1)

Thermal Well
This weapon was developed by the Alliance, in an effort to reduce the risks involved with using pure-baradium thermal detonators. Alliance technicians blended baradium with stabilized ytterbium, resulting in a denser explosive that ignited instead of exploding when energized. The thermal reaction was capable of generating thousands of degrees of heat in a short time, literally melting everything in its "blast radius." (ROE)

Thermaplast
This material was used to form pre-fab shelters. (GG10)

Therma-slice
This was a culinary device which used microfine heating lasers to cut through food and heat the individual slices. (HNN4)

Thermex
A highly-combustible explosive. (POM)

Thermic Baster
This was an outdated form of oven, used for slowly cooking meats. (IWE1)

Thermite
An explosive material used by military commandos, thermite was transported in a gel form that allowed it to be poured into a vessel for remote detonation. (SWJ12, GMR1)

Thermite Boring Charge
This directed explosive was used to destroy specific targets, such as locking mechanisms. The charge was positioned to bore into its target, destroying everything it encountered along its path. Thermite charges burned with an intensely bright light. (KT)

Thermo-blanket
This was a kind of blanket that used a combination of materials to trap heat beneath it. In this way, a thermo-blanket could keep a being warm for a longer period of time than a traditional cloth or fur blanket. (CN3)

Thermocapsulary Dehousing Assistor
An automaton used to break down heat-generating devices. They were menial laborers. C-3PO called R2-D2 one while R2-D2 was trying to escape from the Tantive IV. (E4N)

Thermocom
This device was used to detect the operating temperature of machinery and equipment, in order to prevent them from overheating. The thermocom was connected by a shielded cable to onboard shutdown systems, which bring the equipment to a halt when the operating temperature reaches critical levels. The temperature levels can be set into the thermocom by the manufacturer, or modified by the user. Modifications to the temperature settings were highly discouraged, however. (RF)

Thermo-converter
This was any device or material which generates electricity when heated. (GG2)

Thermo-cup
This was a kind of beverage contained that kept its contents at a constant temperature, while allowing a being to comfortably hold the cup. This ensured that hot cups of caf stayed hot, and the hot caf did not burn a being's fingers or hand. (CN3)

Thermoenergetic Screen
This form of heat protection was developed by the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Using a thermoenergetic screen, a clone trooper could be encapsulated in a small pod, which could be ejected from a transport ship so that the trooper could reach a drop point on a planet's surface. This eliminated the need for large, expensive dropships that provided enemies with a large target. The small, expendable pods were hard to detect, allowing a trooper to reach the surface swiftly and undetected. The thermoenergetic screen deflected the incredible heat that was built up upon entry into a planet's atmosphere, keeping the trooper inside safe. (TCD)

Thermoguard Jumpsuit
This expensive form of bodysuit was developed to allow the wearer to evade infrared and thermal-imaging scanners. The thermoguard suit was created with a surface cooling unit that maintained an external temperature equal to that of the wearer's environment. This meant that, to infrared and thermal sensors and other devices, the wearer was virtually invisible. (GMR6)

Thermon
This planet was orbited by several moons made of pure methane. The methane exists in liquid form below the crust, and gravitation pressure often cracks this crust. The result was a spectacular display of methan geysers. (THG)

Thermoskin
This was the high-tech bodysuit developed for starfighter pilots during the early years of the New Order. It allowed fighter pilots on deepspace missions to retain large amounts of body heat, which gave the pilot the option to divert some power from life support to shields. (EVR)

Thermosuit
This specialized environment suit was designed to help a being survive in exceptionally cold environments. (HSR)

Thernbee
This huge, four-legged creature was native to the mountains of Almania. They were covered with thick, white fur, and had small heads punctuated by short ears and striking blue eyes. Thernbees had a long, thin, prehensile tail which could be used like a whip. They drooled constantly, and needed sunlight in order to survive. They were semi-sentient and somewhat psychic, and were able to establish mental links to other beings with similar abilities. They consumed primarily leaves and vegetation, but would also eat the slimy slugs and snakes which inhabit the underbrush. They were very powerful, yet docile, creatures. The bite of the thernbee had a numbing effect on its victim, since the saliva of the thernbee had an anesthetic toxic in it. This caused the prey to stop moving, allowing the thernbee to kill it with little resistance. Because of their semi-sentient minds, Luke Skywalker petitioned the New Republic to ensure they were protected. (TNR, WOTC, PJSB)

Theselonian
This clothing designer was known for its exotic bridal gowns. (UYV)

Thesh
This was the eighth combination symbol in the Aurebesh script, and represents the Basic letters "th". (SWM)

T'hesh
When translated into Basic, this Ewok word meant "quiet." (GPB)

Thesi
When translated into Basic, this Ewok word meant "there." (GPB)

Thesme
This planet formed the starting point of the Thesme Trace, a minor trade route located in the Outer Rim. It was also political and industrial capital of the Thesme Sector of the galaxy, during the height of the New Order. (SWMW, SWDB)

Thesme Sector
This sector of the galaxy was located on the Outer Rim Territories. (SWMW)

Thesme Trace
This interstellar trade route intersected the Gordian Reach, along the Hydian Way, at the planet Thesme. (WOA26, SWMW)

Thespian Union
This was a group of students at Imperial Academies throughout the galaxy which put on plays and operas as part of their extracurricular activities. (IR)

Theta
This was one of the common designations used by the targetting computers installed on Imperial warships to identify a group of Imperial starfighters. Because most Imperial starfighters, like TIE Fighters, were mass-manufactured, their transponders codes were often little more than a group of letters and numbers. In order to distinguish these ships from enemy vessels during a battle, Imperial targetting computers assigned all fighters in a given unit to a specific group, each with a specific designation. The fifth group discovered by the targetting computer was usually assigned to the Theta group, and the ships within that group were also given a numerical identifier, such as Theta 1. In situations where starfighters from two or more base ships were participating in a battle, the designation Theta was preceded by a character that was unique to the base ship. (TIEP)

Theta Squad
This was one of the first groups of clone troopers that were trained as commandos, during the build-up to the Battle of Geonosis and the Clone Wars. Because they were one of the first two such squads decanted on Kamino, Delta Squad was the first to experience the intense rush of information provided by the heads-up display inside the helmet of their Katarn armor. Like most such units, Delta Squad was made up of four specially-trained troopers - nicknamed Darman, Jay, Taler, and Vin - who were trained to fight as a unit, without assistance. Unfortunately, Darman was the only member of Delta Squad to survive the Battle of Geonosis. (RCHC, RCTC)

Theta-288
This was the callsign of the clone commando who was part of the squad assigned to protect Lorca Oviedo to a conference on Aviles Prime, during the height of the Clone Wars. On the return trip from Aviles Prime, Theta-288 and his comrades became expendable when Oviedo tried to fake an attack by Separatist forces near Asturias. Oviedo had been plotting to sell rigged weaponry to Wat Tambor and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, covering it up by appearing to survive a Separatist attack on his ship. The droid forces dispatched to Asturias were unable to destroy the clone commandos who were escorting Oviedo, as Theta-288 and a handful of his squadmates survived the crash-landing on the moon. They managed to reach Oviedo just as he was finalizing his plans with Tambor, and they took Oviedo prisoner. Theta-288 and his fellow clones struggled to return to Oviedo's ship, which was basically unharmed as part of the ruse, but they were continually harrased by battle droids. Ultimately, only Theta-288 survived to reach Coruscant with Oviedo. Once one Coruscant, Theta-288 turned Oviedo over to the authorities. (T22)

Theta-2Y
This bacta transport ship was owned by Cargo Consolidated, Incorporated. It made regular runs from Mrlsst to the Core, stopped at several worlds along the Shapani Bypass. (TSIA)

Theta-class Barge
This ship was designed by the Empire as a sort of dropship, although its primary mission was not to deploy troops into battlezones. Instead, the Theta-class barge was created to deploy AT-AT walkers into battle, with the support of Sentinel-class shuttles. (NEGV)

Theta-class Shuttle
Many considered the T-2c Theta-class shuttle to have been the precursor to the Lambda-class shuttle, since they shared many of the same design elements. The Theta-class shuttle was originally developed by Cygnus Spaceworks during the years following the Battle of Ruusan, as a transport for diplomats and other luminaries. These early designs were quite luxurious, and came with a hefty pricetag. Over the following centuries, the Theta-class shuttle became more refined, and several versions were developed for personal, corporate, and military usage. Luxury appointments were available as optional upgrades, so that a buyer could personalize their shuttle as necessary.

The basic Theta-class shuttle measured 18.5 meters in length as well as in height, and could accommodate up to sixteen passengers and fifty metric tons of cargo. The ship was equipped with a Class 1 hyperdrive, and was armed with two quad laser cannons and a rear-mounted laser cannon. This weaponry gave the Theta-class shuttle more than enough firepower to hold its own against pirates or other enemy ships. The lower two wings of the Theta-class shuttle were triangular in shape, and were capable of rotating up or down to assist with maneuvering. The upper wing was blade-shaped, and was mounted lengthwise atop the shuttle.

Chancellor Palpatine had a specially-designed Theta-class T-2c shuttle built for his use as Darth Sidious by Cygnus Spaceworks, which was later modified by Warthan's Wizards to Palpatine's own specifications. Inside was a complete Sith medical facility, from which he could coerce his guests into doing his bidding. (TCG10, X3, WOTC, SWDB, DBRT, SSOG)

Thetametabuterin
This tasteless, chemical powder was used by the best poisoners in the galaxy. When added to certain meats, like the flesh of the Wroonian flycatcher, it could create a subtle poison that affected the mental stability of a human eater. (SESB)

Thetan nitakka, ko nakaza
This Yevethan war cry was translated as "to the strongest of us, glory in the kill." (TT)

Thevaxan Marauder
This predator was native to the swamps of the planet Gorsh. It wasn't very adept at stalking its prey, being a huge beast measuring up to eight meters tall at the shoulder and twenty meters in length. It was quite dim-witted, and could be easily tricked or confused. Note that Wedge's Gamble claims the Thevaxan Marauder was an expert at stalking its prey. (WG, PG1)

Thiamar
see Thimiar (CWN)

Thicket, The
This area of space was located near the planet Iego. It was filled with asteroids and other space debris, earning the area it nickname. (CWOC1)

Thicklube
This was a heavy, thick lubricant used aboard older starships during the last years of the Old Republic. (YDR)

Thickwood
This species of tree grows on the planet Kubindi, and was named for its thick, radiation-absorbing bark. Thickwood trees were often the homes of the burrowing insects that make up much of the Kubaz diet. (SWJ10)

Thief's Eye
This was the name of the sleek, needle-shaped shuttle used by King Katuunko of Toydaria to travel on business, during the final years of the Old Republic. (CWTV01)

Thig Brothers
A pair of smugglers working for Jabba the Hutt just before the Battle of Yavin. They were spicejackers who worked in the Stenness System, and were usually armed with stolen Imperial weapons. (TME)

Thiirn, Mosara
This woman was, at one time, a Lieutenant in the Alliance's Special Force division. She deserted at the height of a pitched battle with the Assassin's Guild on Archais, and presented herself to Imperial Lieutnenant Colonel Covell. Luckily for the Alliance, she had not been intrusted with secret information, so her defection led to little initial damage. However, Thiirn later joined Hydrospeare Corporation's Design Team Beta, and her work was used against the Alliance in battle. (AIR)

Thik
This weak-looking man, a native of the planet Typha-Dor, was a member of Shalini's resistance group during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (JQ7)

Thikkiian Brandy
This potent alcoholic beverages was created by Wookiees. (RD)

Thikkiiana City
This Wookiee city, located on the Thikkiiana Peninsula of Kashyyyk, was the site of a computer fabrication facility. (ECH)

Thikkiiana Peninsula
This spit of land was the site of one of the many Wookiee tree-cities found on the planet Kashyyyk. It was one of the furthest such constructions from the city of Rwookrrorro. (TT)

Thila
This was the planet on which the Alliance reorganized, following the evacuation of the base on Yavin 4. Voren Na'al began investigating the heroes of the Battle of Yavin at this base. (MTS, NECH)

Thila
This female Sullustan once sold slaves to Jabba the Hutt, only to discover that Jabba was serving them to his rancor for sport and entertainment. She suddenly became rich by selling holovids of the rancor's feedings about fifteen years before the Galactic Civil War. It was obvious that she cared little for the slaves she sold, which earned her the nickname "The Butcher." She was the Captain of the Arkanian Dawn, the Outer Rim's most feared slave ship. It was a well-known fact that anyone who was taken aboard the Dawn never returned. Of course, this was all the ultimate ruse, engineered by Thila and other anti-Imperials who saw the way Palpatine's New Order was treating aliens and promoting slavery. Thila used complex animation and filming to create the rancor holos, which she placed on the market herself. She then purchased the Dawn and began to make a bigger name for herself, spreading rumors about the slaves she picked up. In reality, the slaves she took into the Dawn were released onto Alliance safeworlds. Thila had liberated a multitude of slaves from Imperial and non-Imperial camps, helping to spread the word that the New Order should be overthrown. (GG9)

Thila Command Base
This was the official name of the Alliance's base on the planet Thila, established in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. (SWJ11)

Thildas
This Ebranite term describes a clan grouping. Each thildas represents about 20-30 Ebranite families who live and work together, in the same area. The clan's insignia was tattooed on the uppermost left arm of each Ebranite. (GG12)

Thilis-Brin
This young Ishi Tib female joined the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Yavin, and quickly became one of the best Special Forces agents in her class. She attracted the notice of Dutra Zeneta, who recruited her to be the chief technician and procurement specialist for Shroud Team. She also served as the secondary foster agent, supporting the Rodian Dheendo. Much of her drive came from a desire to avenge her people and her homeworld against the Empire. (SWJ10)

Thilvera
This was a common name among the Kilmaulsi race. (GORW)

Thimbus, Warl
This Alliance trooper was a member of Parody Squad, at Taul, shortly before the base was destroyed by the Victory-class Star Destroyer Dominator. Thimbus was also Force-sensitive, and knew a little about the Jedi arts. (SWJ1)

Thimiar
This small rodent was native to the planet Shili, and was the favored food of the Togruta race. Because the thimiar went into strange convulsions when bitten by a Togruta, many other beings believed that the Togruta poisoned the thimiar by injecting venom into its body through their incisors. This was proven to be false, as the thimiar simply experienced post-mortem muscle contractions. However, very few Togruta went out of their way to disprove this belief, preferring to maintain a measure of power over other beings. (PJSB, NEGA)

Thimram, Savuud
One of the Emperor Palpatine's original Dark Side Adepts, Savuud Thimram was once native to the planet Chandrila. The son of a noble family, Savuud was discovered by Emperor Palpatine to have a strong connection to the Force. Palpatine ensured that he was taken to Byss, ostensibly as part of a pleasure trip, where Savuud was warped by the power of the Dark Side of the Force. Over time, he became one of Palpatine's most trusted students, and became the Dark Side Adept who oversaw the activities at The Emperor's Citadel on Byss. (DE1, DESB, PH)

Thimwa Precinct
This was an area of the city of Mallonore, located on the planet Cmaoli Di. (SWJ12)

Thincord
This was a lightweight rope developed for use by scouts and explorers. (SWJ7)

Thindroid
This was a nickname used to describe ASP-series droids, and indicated their stick-like figures. (SSR)

Thine, Reggis
This Imperial trooper was stationed at the Kuat Passenger Port as a security officer. Much of his work involved helping lost travellers find their connections, so he knew a great deal about the Port and the Kuat System in general. Despite his Imperial ties, Thine was more or less indifferent about the Galactic Civil War. (PSPG)

ThinHut
This was a type of shelter used by scouts and explorers. It was quite small, providing only three cubic meters of space when erected, but could withstand most environments - although not hard vacuum - for 30 hours. It was made from the same material as a ThinSuit, which resisted tears and cuts. (GG8)

Thinin
An Alliance Nebulon-B frigate destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Thinker
This man served under Commander Brion Peck, as part of the Alliance cell on Rafft during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. (SWJ3)

Thinking Garden
This form of garden was popular on the planet Merisee. A thinking garden was often walled off from the surrounding land by a dense hedge of shurbbery, and contained waterfalls and fountains. Stone benches surrounded the waterworks, allowing visitors to relax and unwind to the bubbling of the water. Thinking gardens allowed visitors to escape from the outside world. (OE)

Thinking Sideways
This slang term was used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe a compliment, although it was most often used among Special Operations soldiers. (GG9)

Thinskin
This durable yet lightweight fabric was created for use by the Grand Army of the Republic, and was used primarily to create underwear and warm-weather clothing. (MBS)

ThinSuit
A form of personal protection used by scouts and explorers, the Karflo ThinSuit was a lightweight fabric suit that resisted tears and rips, and provided up to 18 hours of protection in most atmospheric environments. It offered no protection in vacuum, but protected against most hostile environments with through the use of a breathing mask and filter system. (GG8, ROE)

Thiodyne
This small corporation manufactured shipboard ionization reactors during the height of the New Order. (SCRE, TSC)

Thionarx
An illegal substance sold in the Corporate Sector. (CSA)

Thioro
This man claimed to be a member of the New Republic Military Police and a native of Corellia, but was actually part of a small force meant to eliminate Wraith Squadron. He was identified as a threat by Garik Loran, despite his accurate Republic credentials, and incapacitated. (IF)

Third Ado Superiority Fleet
Commanded by Admiral Gor Lequar, this Imperial force patrolled Ado Sector during the height of the New Order. (PP)

Third Alabaster
This room was located in the residence building used by Wedge Antilles and Red Flight, during their stay in the city of Cartann, on Adumar. A New Republic Intelligence agent slipped into this room before Hallis Saper could determine who it was. (SOA)

Third Army of Light
This was one of the branches of the Army of Light, formed by the Jedi Knights to combat Darth Bane and his hordes of Sith devotees during the New Sith Wars. The Third Army of Light was led by Newar Forrth, and was victorious during one of the seven conflicts that formed the Battle of Ruusan. Unforturnately, Newar Forrth was killed in the fighting. (WOTC)

Third Battle Group
One of the New Republic's five defensive fleets. (SOL)

Third Battle of Ruusan
This was the name used to describe the third of seven conflicts that were collectively known as the Battle of Ruusan, which was fought between the Brotherhood of Darkness and the Army of Light a millennium before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. The Sith warriors of the Brotherhood of Darkness won the opening battle, surprising the Old Republic naval forces that had been orbiting Ruusan and pushing them out of the system. This allowed the Sith to blockade the planet, cutting off the combing Jedi-Republic forces that were still on the ground. The Second Battle of Ruusan saw the Sith ground forces repel attempts by the Republic's forces to recover the ground they had lost. In the Third Battle of Ruusan, the fighting once again turned skyward, as the Jedi launched wave after wave of starfighter attacks on the ground forces of the Brotherhood. Using the Force, the Jedi pilots slaughtered thousands of Sith warriors, most of whom had no connection to the Force. Thus, the leadership of the Brotherhood remained intact, and stood between the Jedi and ultimate victory. (DBPD)

Third Battle of Vontor
This was the fateful battle in which Xim the Despot was finally defeated by Hutt forces, nearly 100 years before the formation of the Old Republic. Xim had fought valiantly for several other battles, in an effort to take the planet, but a stalemate persisted. Eventually, Kossak the Hutt used a battle group formed from Vodran, Nikto, and Klatooinan forces to overcome Xim's legions, both on and above the planet Vontor. (HSL, GG12, NECH)

Third Battle of Yavin
This was the name given to the struggle to defend the Jedi praxeum, located on Yavin 4, from the predations of Brakiss and the Second Imperium. Brakiss himself believed he was being summoned to Yavin 4 by the reborn Emperor Palpatine, but he later discovered that the Emperors presence was a sham, perpetrated by four former members of the Imperial Royal Guard. Three of them guarded a large meditation chamber, while the fourth used a vast collection of sound bites and holo-clips of Palpatine to create an illusion of his presence. Brakiss, as well as the entire crew of the Shadow Academy, were fooled by the ruse, until the Shadow Academy attacked Yavin 4 and the Jedi Academy. As Brakiss came to demand why Palpatine was ignoring him, he discovered the trickery of the four guards. He killed the three protectors in his anger, but the fourth escaped. He managed to activate the Shadow Academy's self-destruct systems before he fled, killing Brakiss in the explosion. (GMR5, JUS)

Third Belt
This was the name of the third asteroid belt located in the Oseon System. (LCF)

Third Calamari Regiment
This Alliance military unit was based in the Calamari System of the galaxy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (MBC, OWS)

Third Electoral
This session of the New Republic Senate was to be highlighted by the recall vote against Leia Organa Solo during the Black Fleet Crisis. Instead, it became known for announcement by Organa Solo of a declaration of war against the Yevetha. (TT, NECH)

Third Fleet
This was the name given to one of the secondary naval fleets of the Galactic Alliance, during the final stages of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Third Fleet, comprised mainly of the surviving ships of the New Republic's Third Battle Group, was commanded by General Wedge Antilles from his flagship, the Mon Mothma. Among the other ships in the Third Fleet were the Mon Adapyne and the Elegos A'Kla.

In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong conflict, the Third Fleet was one of three naval units, along with the Eighth and Ninth Fleets, that were assigned to the General Crix Madine Military Reserve, during the Galactic Alliance's fleet reorganization and consolitation actions. Some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, the Third Fleet was performing routine patrols in the Outer Rim Territories when it was recalled by Supreme Commander Cha Niathal. The fleet was then sent to the Corellian System, where it was ordered to blockade the system, after Thrackan Sal-Solo threatened to go to war with the Galactic Alliance to achieve Corellian independence.

In a strange move, the Third Fleet later launched a direct attack on the planet Commenor, using cloaked asteroids to bombard the planet while harassing starships in space. The Third Fleet's commander acted without authorization from either Cha Niathal or Jacen Solo, and was recalled to Coruscant for questioning. The commander was relieved of duty, and the Third Fleet was placed under the direct command of Admiral Niathal. She was forced to place segments of the Third Fleet on emergency status, when Jacen Solo announced his plans to attack the planet Fondor. His plans were based solely on a task force from the Fourth Fleet, but Niathal feared that his plans were not complete enough to carry out the mission.

In the waje of the Second Battle of Fondor, nearly a quarter of the commanders in the Third Fleet decided to defect from the Galactic Alliance and joined Admiral Cha Niathal in support of her government-in-exile. (UF, LF2, LF3, LF7, LF8, LF9)

Third General Survey
An Old Republic comprehensive examination of the galactic arms and the planets located in them. The survey, initiated some 123 years before the onset of the Clone Wars, discovered the planet Brath Qella, but the contact ship it requested took eight more years to reach the planet. By that time, asteroid impacts had destroyed the planet's ecosystem, and the Qella were extinct. The Third General Survey was 61% complete when the Clone Wars broke out and the survey was cancelled. (BTS, HNN5)

Third Ilthmar Defense
This was one of the many holochess defensive strategies. (HSEC)

Third Law of Military Success
This military axiom states, "Failure was deadly." (ROE)

Third Prophet
This was the title given to the leader of the Ni'Shaw-Dak Ministry. In its beginning, the position of the Third Prophet was held by Kaltor Naklian, the religion's founder. In this way, Kaltor elevated himself to the coveted position of Ni'Shaw's third prophet. (AIR)

Third Ring Apartment Towers
This collection of residential apartment building was located about twenty minutes from the Senate Rotunda, on the planet Coruscant. During the finaly decades of the Old Republic, the Third Ring Apartment Towers were a common living area for Senatorial aides and other judiciary workers. (OF)

Third Vagaari War
This was considered the last of the Vagaari Wars, which were fought between the Chiss and the Vagaari during the height of the New Republic. Although the Chiss ultimately won this battle, many of the ruling houses were depleted of manpower due to the casualties inflicted in the war. Chiss historians point to this war as the starting point of their conflict with the Colony, since those reduced houses turned to the Colony hives to acquire laborers. (DN1)

Thire
This was the designation of one of the first clone troopers to graduate from the enhanced training developed for the Advanced Reconnaissance Commandos, which were created by a group of Coruscant-based Kaminoans for the Army of the Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Although technically ranked as a Lieutenant, Thire - otherwise known as Commander 4477 - was given the rank of Commander after the completion of his training. He was then placed in command of the red-armored shock troopers who were part of the Homeworld Security Command.

Despite their posting, Thire and his clone troopers were often sent on diplomatic and military missions, such as Jedi Master Yoda's mission to discuss a treaty with King Katuunko of Toydaria. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Thire was placed in command of the clone troopers who guarded Emperor Palpatine and his entourage. After Palpatine nearly defeated Jedi Master Yoda in a battle within the Senate Rotunda, Thire led the unsuccessful search for Yoda's body. (SWI74, IS3, SWDB, CWOC1)

Thirk, Milo

Thirsty Monoc, The
This bar was owned and operated by Nim Abek, and it was located aboard his shadowport base, Abek's Station. The bar's title displayed Abek's open contempt for members of the Abyssin race. (SSR)

Thirteen
This was the nickname Kell Tainer used for his R2 astromech droid, because the droid would always provide the number thirteen when asked to give a random number. Kell asked Eurrsk Thri'ag to fix the glitch, but kept the nickname Thirteen. Its actual designation was R2-D609. The droid was destroyed in the battle over Ession, in which Wraith Squadron defeated the Implacable. (WS)

Thirty-Seven Families
This was the simple name used to describe the thirty-seven human families who traced their roots back to the earliest settlements on the planet Desevro. Many of these families maintained luxurious estates in the Swamplands, while poorer humans and nearly every alien lived in the slums of the cities. Because of their histories and their political clout, the Thirty-Seven Families were considered the primary power-holders on Desevro. (GORW)

Th'iruckai
This bipedal, reptilian race was native to the planet Th'irus. At this time of the Galactic Civil War, they were a bronze-age race which had developed a high degree of medical knowledge as well as skill in the use of poisons and neurotoxins. Groups of Th'iruckai banded together in tribes led by Teruks, and the tribes wages bloody wars against each other over the millennia. When the first explorers found their planet, the Teruks realized that they could gain an advantage over their rivals if they could obtain high-tech weapons. During the Galactic Civil War, a band of scouts landed on the planet and were fought over by several clans. The scouts, in talking to the teruks, realized that the inter-clan wars were being fought because of an ancient misunderstanding. The scouts worked with the tribes to establish a cease-fire and begin peace negotiations between the clans. (GMS)

Th'irus
This hot, desert world was the home of the Th'iruckai race. Most of the life on this planet was either reptilian or insectoid. (GMS)

This Man's Navy
This was a term used by the loyal crewers of the Imperial Navy to describe their service. (LCS)

Thi-Sen
This Talz served as the leader of the settlement on Orto Plutonia, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Thi-Sen, who was known to his people as the Son of Suns, ensured the safety of his people by driving off any creatures that threatened their small settlement. This included the clone troopers who were dispatched to Orto Plutonia to establish the Glid Station listening post, as well as a group of Separatist battle droids that tried to establish a foothold on the planet, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. When Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker arrived on the planet to investigate, Thi-Sen decided to listen to what they had to say, before explaining that the Talz simply wanted to be left alone. However, neither Jedi could understand the language of the Talz, so their initial discussions were carried out with simple pictures and glyphs. These discussions were enough to convince Thi-Sen that the Jedi were indeed peaceful, and he agreed to meet with the Pantorans. When Chairman Chi Cho refused to accept the Talz as anything but ignorant savages, Thi-Sen called an end to the discussion, and later allowed the Talz to defend their territory against Chi Cho's attack. Following Chi Cho's death, Senator Riyo Chuchi decided that the Pantorans would not continue the fight, offering the Talz the stewardship of Orto Plutonia and vowing that the Pantorans would leave them in peace. Thi-Sen agreed to this offer, which allowed his people to live peacefully in their isolation. (CWTV15, SWDB)

Thislenit
This Rodian insect exuded a powerful toxin when it attacked and bit its prey. (HNN5)

Thiss
This fire-blackened stump of an enormous wroshyr tree was one of the primary landing field maintained by the Wookiees of Rwookrrorro. It was here, in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong surrender at Courscant some five years after their invasion of the galaxy began, that a monument to Chewbacca was erected. Carved from the branch of a huge wroshyr tree, the portrait of Chewbacca was created to honor his life and his contributions to peace in the galaxy. When Han Solo arrived to witness the dedication of the portrait, he brought with him his son Anakin's lightsaber, which had been recovered from the possession of Supreme Overlord Shimrra. With Ralrra's permission, Han ignited the lightsaber and drove it into the branch near Chewbacca's portrait, imbedding the lightsaber in the wood of the tree. Han then turned it off, leaving it as a reminder of the valor and virtue of Chewbacca. (HT, UF)

Thisspian
This race of part humanoid, part serpentine beings was native to the planet Thisspias. The upper body of a Thisspian was humanoid in shape, and covered with long hair. The lower half of their body was serpentine, lacking legs and having scales that matched the color of their hair. The hair of the Thisspian was unusually dense, and served to keep away cygnats and other biting insects. While the tail of a Thisspian could be used to carry a heavy load, most individuals simply coiled their tails underneath them and moved about on repulsorchairs. In combat, the tail of a Thisspian could be used to constrict their opponent.

Outwardly, most Thisspians appeared to have two arms, each of which ended in five clawed fingers. However, all Thisspians actually had four arms. The second pair, located below the main arms, was vestigial, and generally was waeker than the upper pair. Among the upper classes of Thisspian society, it was considered bad form to display these weaker arms, and they were kept hidden beneath their clothing. The working classes of Thisspians, however, made regular use of the lower pair of arms, resulting in both sets of arms being nearly equal in strength.

The reptilian ancestors of the modern Thisspians preferred to consume their prey while it was still alive. This trait was never fully eliminated in the modern Thisspians, who regularly fed on live birds, rodents, and insects. Like their ancestors, Thisspians could unhinge their lower jaw to accommodate food that was larger than its mouth, allowing them to swallow a food item whole. However, when in the presence of non-Thisspians, most individuals would eat cooked food, although they claimed that it lacked any real taste.

Also like their ancestors, Thisspians had to shed their skin every so often. In order to appear presentable, though, most Thisspians rubbed their skin with oils and lubricants to allow the old skin to come off in small pieces during private grooming times.

During the Clone Wars, the Thisspians grudgingly agreed to support the Old Republic at the request of Oppo Rancisis, who found a way to defeat the Blood Monarch in combat. However, with the rise of the Empire, the Thisspian Blood Monarch was executed by an Imperial officer. The population was quick to rebel, and the Alliance tried to assist them in regaining their freedom. However, the Empire cracked down on the planet's security, forcing the Alliance to abandon the planet temporarily.

In the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, a Thisspian Crown Prince returned to his homeworld to take retake control. The general populace tried to rebel, hoping for a more democratic government. However, the monarchy was re-established after a short-but-bloody civil war, leaving most Thisspians to view the return of the monarchy as simply a changing of bad leadership. (PJSB, UANT, NEGA, CVD)

Thisspian
This was the native language of the Thisspian race. (PJSB)

Thisspias
This Inner Rim planet was the homeworld of the Thisspian race. One of the most famous Thisspians was the Jedi Master Oppo Rancisis. During the early years of the New Order, Thisspias was bombarded by Imperial forces, who sought to control its monarchy. An Imperial officer managed to execute the Blood Monarch, forcing the population to submit to Imperial rule. In the wake of the Galactic Civil War, the crown prince of Thisspias returned from hiding and tried to re-establish the monarchy. A brief, but bloody, civil war broke out, in which the forces of the crown prince were able to quell the rebels and restore the onarchy to power. Note that the galaxy map inside Star Wars Insider, issue 65, places Thisspias in the Expansion Region of the galaxy. (IG1, IWE1, SWI65, PJSB, NEGA)

Thlee, Twinsins
This was the alias used by Jagged Fel when he arrived at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, several years after the Swarm War, to deliver news of Alema Rar's survival to Grand Master Luke Skywalker. Essentially a play on Fel's former designation as Twin Suns Three, which he held as part of Twin Suns Squadron during the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, it allowed Fel to enter the Jedi Temple without attracting undo attention, especially that of Jaina Solo. (LF4)

Thleek
When translated into Basic, this Ewok verb meant "to throw." (GPB)

Th'Marn, Kamar
This noted Mon Calamari philosopher was once quoted as saying, "Nothing was more dangerous than that which does not seem to be so." (WSV)

Thoad, Jorman
This man was a starship dealer, working on the planet Centares during the Galactic Civil War. He was as smooth and conniving as any other salesbeing, and regularly offered his own personal guarantee on the spaceworthiness of his ships. A short, bald man, Thoad was the salesman who sold Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa a modified Corellian Engineering Corporation Gunship in exchange for the luxury yacht of Simon Greyshade, after Greyshade let them take the ship during their escape from Commander Strom aboard The Wheel. (MC25)

This bald, obese man was known for the vast zoo he established and operated on Torina. He was a former sportsman and entrepreneur who decided that the collecting and display of rare and exotic creatures was just as important as other business. As his personal wealth grew, so did his collection of creatures. Thog was also a personal friend of Imperial Captain Dadefra. (OE)

Thogk
This was the name of the traditional Gamorrean club. On Gamorr, a thogk was made from a heavy branch from the gorgt tree, into which a long spike was driven. Whenever necessary, however, a thogk could be formed from any sturdy wood. The name for the weapon derived from the words meaning "log with a spike in it". (UANT)

Thoha'lynda
This Twi'leki merchant sold leather goods made from rycrit hides in the Kala'uun Starport, during the height of the New Order. (PSPG)

Thoi
This crustacean was found in the waters of the Swamplands, located on the planet Desevro. It was a tasty delicacy when cooked, and many of the elder members of Maslovar's thirty-seven families spent their afternoons fishing for thoi. (GORW)

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

Thok
This Gamorrean was one of many who worked as a guard in Jabba the Hutt's fortress on Tatooine, during the Galactic Civil War. Thok was often paired with Thug while on duty, and spent his off-duty hours hunting womprats. When Imperial forces tried to arrest Thok on a series of dubious charges, Thok chose to betray his own brother, Gorc, to the Imperials, rather than take any punishment himself. (JKG, CCG14, WOTC)

Thok, Prebda
This Hutt art collector owned one of the most valuable properties on the planet Boztrok, during the height of the New Order. On one of his island estates was a Shrine of Kooroo, which he allowed Andor Javin to investigate. (SWJ13)

Thokisl
This was the largest city on the planet Boztrok. (SWJ13)

Thokka, Vago Gejalli
This was a noted Hutt crimelord who was born into the Gejalli kajidic. However, after his mother's criminal empire was crushed by Popara the Hutt, Vago was adopted into the Anjiliac clan. He was never allowed to use the Anjiliac name in his title, since Popara never fully trusted Vago. However, Popara used Vago as the Anjiliac clan's primary aide-de-camp and middleman, since Vago was one of the few Hutts who was willing to speak the Basic language when necessary. In the wake of Popara's death, Vago took action to ensure that his killer was found. Believing that Mika had something to do with the event, Vago arranged to have Popara's freelance agents freed from prison and secretly dispatched to hunt down Popara's killer and the source of the tempest spice. For this, Vago was captured and held prisoner by Zonnos, and his H-3PO droids were used to lure the agents into a trap. After Zonnos went mad and was captured, Vago disappeared. Unknown to most beings, Vago had actually been captured by Mika and shipped off to Varl, so as to eliminate his meddlings. Within the tempest production facility on the Tempest, Vago was guarded by Dai and Koya Utrila, until the two sisters learned the truth behind Mika's treachery. They let Vago go free, and helped the agents hired by Popara to defeat Mika and his forces. (TF, WOTC)

Thokos
The inhabitants of this planet, located near the planet Coruscant, launched a series of colony ships aimed at settling the planet Ammuud. These ships left Thokos about 10,000 years before the formations of the Corporate Sector, and communication between Ammuud and Thokos was lost. (CSA, UF)

Thokosia System
A planetary system located on the Gamor Run. (DESB)

Tholan's Comestibles
This repulsorcraft was a floating restaurant that served customers in the cities of Scohar and Revos, on Storinal. (WS)

Tholatin
This planet was an uninhabited ball of rock, except for the smugglers' settlement in Esau's Ridge. Although the planet was later captured by the Yuuzhan Vong, it was eventually liberated by a band of soldiers wearing Mandalorian armor. It was believed that their leader was none other than Boba Fett himself, although only Han Solo had any evidence to support this rumor. (TT, UF)

TholCorp
This small corporation was infamous for manufacturing neuronic whips and other slaving weapons. (AIR)

Tholian
This alien race was caught up in an intense battle with Jedi Master Yoda, several years before the Clone Wars. (YDR)

Tholme
This Jedi Master was one of Quinlan Vos' early teachers, and was a noted Jedi Healer. Master Tholme was the Watchman of the sector which contained the planet Kiffex and Kiffu, during the time when Kulrin Vos was the Sheyf of Kiffu. It was Master Tholme who discovered Quinlan's psionic abilities, and asked Kurlin if the boy could be taken to Coruscant for training. Kurlin agreed, but Tinte Vos argued that Quinlan should remain on Kiffu as a Guardian. She used Quinlan's abilities to discover the reasons behind the deaths of Quian and Pethros Vos, an action that left Quinlan nearly insane. Master Tholme resigned his post as watchman and dedicated himself to repairing Quinlan's mind and training him as a Jedi.

Master Tholme was later disptached to Kiffex to monitor Quinlan, during the investigation into the re-emergence of Volfe Karkko, and helped Quinlan defeat the feral Anzati warriors. Master Tholme then presented Quinlan with the star-shaped amulet which was the emblem of the Vos clan. Quinlan's psychometric powers were able to read the amulet, which revealed the truth about the deaths of Quinlan's parents at the hands of the Anzati under the control of Volfe Karkko. Later, Tholme was dispatched to Ryloth to mediate the succession of the head-clan which had been led by Pol Secura. He was captured by the Morgukai warrios Tsyr and Bok while trying to protect the Secura heir, Nat Secura. He was forced to feign death in order to be united with the young Twi'lek. He used the trick years later, during the Clone Wars, when he traveled to Devaron with the Dark Woman and Aayla Secura to infiltrate the estate of Vien'sai'malloc.

Tholme and the Dark Woman were lured into a trap by Aurra Sing, who had planted false information about the location of a Separatist base on the planet. Aurra Sing trapped both of them in an abandoned mine, then set out to destroy Aayla Secura. Knowing that taking their lives was all that mattered to Aurra Sing, Tholme and the Dark Woman placed themselves into a death-like trance. The loss of two Jedi Masters affected Aurra Sing, who dropped her guard long enough for Aayla Secura to disarm and capture her. The Jedi Masters, injured but alive, were transported back to Coruscant for treatment. Early in the Clone Wars, Tholme and Sora Bulq confronted Count Dooku on Bakura. Bulq was captured in the fighting, and Master Tholme lost his left eye in a lightsaber duel with Dooku.

Later, Master Tholme worried almost constantly about the fact that he suggested that Quinlan Vos be used as a secret agent, to be dispatched to join Count Dooku during the Clone Wars. Quinlan's actions indicated that he had turned completely to the Dark Side of the Force, and many questions Tholme's decision to send him on the mission. Tholme himself wondered if he had made the right choice, and was forced to track down Quinlan to learn the truth for himself. Tholme eventually tracked down Sora Bulq on Saleucami, after Quinlan learned of its location from Salje' Tasha. On Saleucami, the former allies fought a desperate lightsaber battle, only to have Tholme choose to escape rather than fight. He didn't leave the planet, however, and set out to destroy the cloning facilities Sora Bulq had built in the magma caverns.

Tholme continued to harass the Separatists for months, while the main Republic force pummeled the Separatists on the surface. In a tense confrontation on Saleucami, Tholme was forced to fight Quinlan, who refused to acknowledge that he was too close to the Dark Side of the Force. In the fight, the precipice on which Tholme was standing gave way, and he plummeted to the ground. Quinlan and the other Jedi on Saleucami believed him dead, because Tholme chose to disconnect himself from the Force. This allowed him to reappear during the final confrontation with Sora Bulq, since even the Sith were unaware of his presence. His presence in the Force, along with that of Aayla Secura, helped to steady Quinlan's resolve to return to the Light Side of the Force, and gave Quinlan the strength to defeat Sora Bulq. Tholme and T'ra Saa then traveled to Nar Shaddaa to locate Khaleen Hentz, but were stranded there when the command was given to execute Order 66. Thus, they were able to survive the initial killings of the Jedi Purge, and later accompanied Khaleen to Kashyyyk, where she gave birth to her son.

Although much of Tholme's history was later lost during the era of the New Order, it was believed that he died on Anzat. There, Master T'ra Saa was so upset that she took root on the site of his funeral pyre, and meditated their for many decades before pulling up her roots and traveling to the Hidden Temple on Taivas. (OWS, DRKN, ROP, J3, RT, RSOS, RHE, EGF, SWLHT)

Tholon
This planet, originally scouted by Casti Tholon for Rim Commercial Mining, was named for her. It was a desolate world of rocky wastes, but proved to be incredibly rich with valuable ores and minerals. The planet's resources allowed RCM to become quite profitable, and they named the planet for its discoverer. It was, in fact, the first world that Casti Tholon ever scouted. (AIR)

Tholon, Casti
This bald-pated woman was considered one of the most loyal graduates of the Galactic Outdoor Survival School, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. A native of Sardoraa, she grew up as an orphan aboard one of the space stations which orbited the planet Duro. Despite the fact that she was human, the Duros accepted her into their society, and Casti soon found that she enjoyed the company of Duros over that of other humans. During her time at GOSS, she was known to be one of Barosa Warren's favorite students, and the two developed a friendship over time. They worked together after her graduation, with Warren assisting her while she worked for Rim Commerical Mining and Mero-Nepp Ores, but her work kept her away from OM813 more often than not. Despite the distance, Casti remained loyal to Warren and GOSS. (AIR, OWS)

Tholos
One of the Yevethan Aramadia-class starships assigned to guard the Black Nine installation against attack by the New Republic, the Tholos was under the command of Par Drann. It was the Tholos, making a routine jump into the ILC-905 system, which was attacked by the warships Vanguard, Indomitable, and Folna. The combined fire of the Republic ships, along with several well-placed bombing runs, rendered the Tholos without adequate control. The ship tumbled through the atmosphere of the third planet of the ILC-905 system and was destroyed. (TT)

Tholoth
The human population of this planet was noted for their unusual, pendulant headwear. (LEV, SWDB, SWI87)

Thom
This plant produced a sweet-tasting fruit. However, unripe thom fruit was exceedingly sour. (EOV, GMR9)

Thomork
This planet was the site of Emperor Palpatine's World Devastator construction facility, until it was closed down. Official Imperial word indicated a hive virus wiped out the employees, a fact that was substantiated by the deaths of 450 workers. The workers were actually killed by stormtroopers. This ruse allowed the shipyards to built the World Devastators in secret. (DESB)

Thomquizarr Base
Vocis Kenit was promoted and assigned a dirtside post at this Imperial Navy base after his tour of duty aboard the Semqi Pefis. (FOP)

Thomree
This was one of the most common surnames found among the human population of Corellia. (GMR9)

Thomree, Dupas
Thomree served as the Corellian Diktat during the early years of the New Order and the Galactic Civil War. He made a deal with Palpatine, which allowed Thomree to rule the Corellian sector as he wished, as long as he paid public homage to the newly-named Emperor. Thomree paid his taxes and supplied war materiel, while doing his best to keep the Corellian sector free of Imperial mandates. When he died suddenly, Daclif Gallamby was named Diktat. (AS)

Thom's Trusty Transport
This vehicle sales and rental facility was owned and operated by Thom Tran'asi in the city of Gadrin, on Cularin, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (NET1)

Thon
An alien known to the Old Republic as a Wharl (or Tchuukthai), Thon was in reality a sentient being who chose to keep his species and his culture a well-guarded secret. Thon trained in the ways of the Force, and eventually became a Jedi Master. He was assigned as the watchman of the Stenness System, and was living and training on Ambria just prior to the Great Sith War. When he first came to Ambria, the Dark Side of the Force was prevalent on the planet. Master Thon pushed the Dark Side back, forcing it into Lake Natth. His experiences on Ambria taught him of the virtue of the Light Side, and he tried to convince other Jedi Masters about the dangers of the Krath. He was supposed to have continued the Jedi training of Andur Sunrider, but Andur's death changed those plans. Instead, Thon became the teacher of Andur's wife, Nomi. Her stubbornness was broken when Thon was attacked by Bogga the Hutt. In the battle, Thon gave his lightsaber to Nomi, and she used it with unusual skill for an untrained Jedi candidate. Thon realized that Nomi was the special Jedi he was prophecied to train, and took her under his tutelage. Later, he was part of the assembly of Jedi Masters who met on Deneba to discuss the Krath uprising in the Empress Teta system. (DE1, DA, COTF, DLS, TOJC, EGP)

Thon
A continent on Alderaan, known for its wildlife reserves. (E4R)

Thon, Kron
This crimelord was a rival of Mugsy Fratillio. (GMS)

Tho'natu
This male Twi'lek was the Jedi Master who led the mission to locate the Sith Lord who had killed several Jedi Masters on Tython, about ten years after the Battle of Ruusan. A veteran of the fighting on Ruusan, Tho'natu had been promoted to the level of Jedi Master in the years of relative peace that followed. Tho'natu's mission was put together after the Jedi Council received a message for a woman named Zannah. Her message claimed that a Sith Lord who had survived the Battle of Ruusan had killed five Jedi on the planet Tython, and was hiding on Ambria. The message seemed to provide an explanation for the fact that Valenthyne Farfalla, Raskta Lsu, Sarro Xaj, Johun Othone, and Worror were all missing, after having set off on a mission to Tython.

Upon arriving on Ambria, Master Tho'natu and his fellow Jedi had found the scattered remains of the healer named Caleb, and enterer the man's hut with their lightsabers at the ready. What they found was another man who was obviously mad, holding Farfalla's lightsaber and screaming at the top of his lungs that he would not be taken. Mistaking this for a battle cry, Master Tho'natu attacked the man, slicing him apart with his lightsaber. A quick search of the premises revealed no other inhabitants, leaving Master Tho'natu and the other Jedi to believe that they had finally destroyed the last of the Sith.

Unknown to Tho'natu and the other Jedi was the fact that the Sith apprentice Zannah had been hiding in Caleb's cellar with her Master, Darth Bane. Zannah had masked their presence in the Force, after having slain Caleb and driving her cousin, Darovit, insane with horrific visions. She had left Darovit in Caleb's hut with Farfalla's weapon, knowing that the Jedi had read her vague message and would assume Darovit was the Sith Lord. She and Bane escaped once the Jedi had left, and set out to secretly restore the Sith to power. (DBRT)

ThonBoka
Named for the Oswaft term that meant StarCave, the ThonBoka was a huge nebula which formed a sac-like refuge from the vacuum of space. The ThonBoka was home to a large number of vacuum-breathing species, including the Oswaft, all of which lived on the raw nutrients that floated in the vacuum contained within the StarCave's boundaries. The nebula, which meaured about twelve light-years - or some ten trillion kilometers - across, was composed of huge amounts of pre-organic molecules. A single hole existed in the sac-like nebula, forming the only entrance to the StarCave. In the center of the ThonBoka were three young, blue-white stars, each about a lightyear apart from the others. None of them had any planets. In the center of these three stars lies an exact, miniature replica of the cave, built for the Oswaft Elders from every conceivable gemstone in the galaxy. This so-called Cave of the Elders was the primary meeting place of the leaders of the Oswaft. Despite the fact that the ThonBoka was mainly empty space, and its boundaries were formed from dense layers of gaseous molecules, the Oswaft were unable to exit the ThonBoka by simply "skipping" through the walls. The Oswaft indicated that they could not "see" through the walls of the ThonBoka, thereby prohibiting them from moving through it. Thus, they were forced to move in and out of the ThonBoka through the single hole at one end. (LCS)

ThonBoka Star Cave Nebula
This was another name for the ThonBoka nebula. (MF)

Thonner
This planet, the fourth world in the Thonner System, was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. Its surface was covered with shallow salt seas, and broken by small chains of sandy islands. Thonner was first settled just twenty-five years before the Battle of Yavin, with colonists forming small collections of buildings around the newly-discovered freshwater springs. After it was settled, the planet's landmasses were found to be excellent habitats for the lichens that grew on Maya Kovel. Spores were inadvertently transported to Thonner, where they took hold on the islands and quickly covered the land with their lush growth. During the Old Republic, Thonner served as something of a penal colony for the Ayrou, which led to several legends that claimed the Ayrou Tessent was hidden somewhere in the seas of Thonner. (GMR9)

Thonnerman
This was the name used to describe the human settlers on the planet Thonner. Over time, the term became something of a generic term to describe the fisherfolk who lived and worked on Thonner, including a growing population of Kian'thar. The two races existed in tightly-knitted communities, with the Kain'thar handling aquatic activities while the humans handled things above the water. (GMR9)

Thonnerwrot
This bony crustacean was native to the shallow seas on Thonner, where it was harvested for its tasty flesh. (GMR9)

Captain Thorben later volunteered to be part of Luke Skywalker's mission to infiltrate the Imperial fleet commanded by Admiral Giel and eliminate the teezl which was being transported to Coruscant. Only two of his specially-modified TIE Fighters managed to survive long enough to reach the ship carrying the teezl, piloted by Shira Brie and Luke Skywalker.

Thorbo
This Imperial officer was the senior officer aboard the space station D-34, during the months leading up to the Battle of Hoth. Major Thorbo was typical of the Imperial officers of the time, and showed little respect for the Alliance refugees who were captured while fleeing from Hoth and detained at the station.

About a year before the Battle of Geonosis, Master Thorla and his Padawan were dispatched to the Mid Rim to put a stop to pirate activity there. Master Thorla returned two months later to report that the pirates had been eliminated, but that his Padawan had died in the fighting. Although he was cleared of any negligence or wrongdoing in his Padawan's death, Master Thorla was deeply upset by it, and he was given leave to return to Ryloth. On his homeworld, he started having visions of his people being enslaved or slaughtered, and set out to maintain the freedom of the Twi'lek race. The death of Jedi Master Kirlocca threatened to upset Thorla's new-found purpose, as Devan For'deschel wanted Thorla to return to Almas and serve as the Almas Academy's weaponsmaster. Thorla was angry that his sister, Jacynith, brought Devan's representatives to The Enclave, but agreed to hear them out. Unfortunately, the arrival of the representatives coincided with a slaver attack on The Enclave, forcing Master Thorla to gather his security force and fight back. Thorla himself engaged the Duros slavelord, killing the slaver in combat in order to ensure the security of The Enclave. The slaver attack only hardened his resolve, and Thorla refused to return to Almas with the Jedi agents. (TS)

This unusual plant was found in the jungles of the planet Caamas. It was a woody shrub, whose extensive root system spread underground for up to ten meters from the thick trunk. The leaves of the thornsniper were covered with thorns, which could be forcefully ejected from the plant itself. The thornsniper fired its thorns whenever it sensed a nearby vibration, and could detect the target's position by monitoring the vibrations through its roots. It was not a mobile plant, however, and basically waited for its victim to die and decompose. Then, it could absorb nutrients through the roots. (WOTC, CCW)

Thorp, Parlay
This renowned doctor was known for her research into medical rejuvenation therapies, and became an expert in aging and longevity during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong War. Doctor Thorp was eventually hired by the Aurora Medical Facility on Obroa-skai, and it was there that she as approached by Han Solo and his family, some forty-three years after the Battle of Yavin. The Solos were searching for information about the history of the Millennium Falcon, which had once been owned by Doctor Thorp, until she sold it to Dax Doogun for a hefty profit. The profits were used to pay for Thorp's education and research, as well as the opening of clinics on Hijado and Enferm. Unlike many of her colleagues at Aurora, Doctor Thorp chose to show her true age, using it as a symbol of her wisdom and experience. When she welcomed the Solos into her office, Doctor Thorp revealed that she had acquired the ship after it had been named the Millennium Falcon, and that she used the ship to travel between her research facilities.

One of her first missions was part of the relief effort that was sent to the planet Hijado, after Imperial forces bombarded the planet during the early years of the New Order. Doctor Thorp was surprised at the longevity of the Hijadoan population, many of whom were well over one hundred years in age. Noneen explained to her that Hijadoans lived as long as they wanted to live, and agreed to let her take tissue and blood samples for further investigation. She remained on Hijado for ten years, but she never learned how the Hijadoans maintained their long lives, or could foresee the death of another being. She later revealed to Leia Organa Solo that she believed the Hijadoans had some deep connection to the Force. When Han asked about how she had come to own the Millennium Falcon, Doctor Thorp revealed that someone had simply given her the ship on Vaced. An investigation of the ship's registry revealed that the man had been Quip Fargil, giving the Solos another clue in their search. When Thorp later introduced the Solos to Lial Sompa, the Ho'Din seemed both confused about, and keenly interested in, their investigation of the Millennium Falcon's history. (MF)

Thorsh
This Jenet served the New Republic military during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He was known for his skills as a scout and reconnaissance agent, and could pilot any number of repulsor-equipped vehicles. Thorsh was among the many military personnel captured at Bilbringi when Operation Trinity was disrupted by the loss of the HoloNet, and was incarcerated on the Yuuzhan Vong-held world of Selvaris. After the informant known only as Ryn 115 provided Judder Page and Pash Cracken with a holowafer containing important data, Thorsh was one of a handful of beings who were entrusted with the data it contained. He and three Biths managed to escape from the prison camp, using carfeully hidden speederbikes as getaway vehicles. However, their absence was quickly noted by the Yuuzhan Vong, and a search party was sent to recover them. After a long chase, only Thorsh survived to reach the Millennium Falcon, which had been alerted to the escape and dispatched to Selvaris to recover the fugitives. Once back on Calamari, Thorsh was debriefed and the information he had memorized was recorded for deciphering. This knowledge revealed that a convoy of prisoners from Selvaris was traveling to Coruscant - now terraformed into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar - for sacrifice. With the data Thorsh provided, many of his other fellow prisoners were soon rescued. (UF)

Those Ole Spacer's Blues
This ballad was popular on the backwater worlds of the Mid Rim. (ND)

Those Who Dwell Beyond The Veil
This was the Aing-Tii Monks's name for the mystical beings who controlled life. Several xenoarcheaologists belieced that this term referred to the Force, although it generally indicated some form of gods or higher beings that were reverred by the Aing-Tii. According to the stories overheard by spacers in the Kathol Rift area of the galaxy, the Aing-Tii monks spent their existence waiting for an answer from The Ones Who Dwell Beyond the Veil. The Force, they believed, was something that was sacred because it was of Those Who Dwell Beyond the Veil, and was much more complex than simply right or wrong, dark or light. Thus, the Aing-Tii believed that the Force could be use by any being, regardless of how Force-sensitive they might be. The Aing-Tii gave their visitors the idea that there was an area of space beyond the Kathol Rift that might have been the area known as "beyond the Veil", although no one ever learned exactly who the Aing-Tii were waiting for. During the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War, an individual known as the Prophet claimed that Those Who Dwell Beyond the Veil would return to the Aing-Tii within his lifetime. When he died some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, no sign of the mysterious beings had been found, and the Aing-Tii people were thrown into a period fo civil unrest. May younger members of the Aing-Tii society began to question the existence of Those Who Dwell Beyond the Veil, opening wondering whether the beliefs of their elders were somehow skewed or even wrong. (KR, EGF, FJ2)

Thota
Native to the planet Varl, these predators preyed on t'landa Til. (RD)

Thought Bomb
This weapon was developed by the ancient Dark Lords of the Sith, as a way to unleash the pure destructive energy of the Dark Side of the Force. The ancient Sith discovered that the Dark Side of the Force could be extracted and mentally bound into an explosive sphere, although it required the combined efforts of many Sith Lords to construct the sphere and control the weapon once it was completed. When set off, a thought bomb would literally consume the bodies of any being within its blast radius, trapping their disembodied spirits forever within the energy that remained.

Darth Bane discovered the rituals and incantations necessary to create a thought bomb while on Lehon. When he set in motion his plans to reform the Brotherhood of Darkness and institute the Rule of Two, Bane provided Lord Kaan with the instructions for making a thought bomb, as a last-ditch way of eliminating the Army of Light during the Battle of Ruusan. Knowing that Kaan and the other Sith Lords would be hesitant to use such a weapon, since it would likely consume the Sith as well as the Jedi on Ruusan, Bane ordered the Sith fleet blockading the planet to engage the incoming Jedi reinforcements. This allowed the Jedi to break through the blockade and land more troops on Ruusan's surface, turning a Sith victory into a stalemate.

Angry and unsure of the reasons behind this sudden turn, Lord Kaan came to the realization that he could not win against the Jedi without using the thought bomb. In the final struggle of the Battle of Ruusan, Kaan and the Sith entered a series of caves and set about forming the weapon. Those soldiers without any connection to the Force were sent out to engage the Jedi army and draw them closer to the cave. In a cataclysmic blast, the thought bomb was unleashed. Its explosion obliterated the physical bodies of every Sith and Jedi in the vicinity of tehcave, trapping their spirits in an unbreakable forcefield for all eternity. The natives of Ruusan believed that their imprisonment would last until another Force user came and disrupted the natural order of the Valley. The effect of the thought bomb's explosion was evident among the native bouncers of Ruusan, which went mad at the massive wave of anguish, anger, and fear that pulsed outward from the explosion.

It seemed that only Force-sensitive beings were consumed by the thought bomb, and even then a few managed to survive the explosion, including Darth Bane and two children, Darovit and Zannah. The casing of the thought bomb remained buried beneath the surface of Ruusan, gleaming like a silver sphere. Trapped inside were the tormented spirits of every Force-sensitive being - Jedi and Sith alike - who was within the thought bomb's blast radius. Bane later brought Zannah to see the remains of the though bomb, in order to show her the lengths to which he had gone to bring his vision of the Sith into being. (ECH, DBPD, DBRT)

Thought Puzzle
A form of entertaining puzzle created by the Hapans. (JE)

Thought Veer
This Force technique was often associated with the Sith, since it involved a gentle nudging or pushing of another being's resolve toward a line of thought that was in agreement with the user's. In this way, a Sith or a Dark Jedi could bring another being into agreement with a set of plans that might have been avoided, ignored, or even abhorred by the being. (LF6)

Thoughtful Looking
Similar to seeing without looking, this technique was taught to young Padawans by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. By using this technique, a Jedi could switch the scope of their senses from the microscopic details to the larger picture, allowing the Jedi to gain a broader idea of what was happening around them. By shifting their concentration, the Jedi gained more details that just focusing on one or two key things. (LJ8)

The Thrackan Sal-Solo and her sister ships were originally commissioned by Thrackan Sal-Solo, for the personal defense of the Corellian System, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Thrackan Sal-Solo was constructed in orbit around Kiris 6, and was designed with the usual Corellian flair for innovation and style.

Like the other Corellian Dreadnaughts, the Thrackan Sal-Solo was designed for close-in, ship-to-ship combat. Shaped like a huge egg, it was armed with turret-mounted turbolasers and various missile tubes that were spread across its hull. In keeping with its status as flagship, the Thrackan Sal-Solo was painted a deep blue color. (LF3)

Thrag
One of Thrackan Sal-Solo's captains, Thrag was a short, overweight man who liked to drink more than he liked to serve. Sal-Solo placed Thrag in charge of monitoring the planetary repulsor on Drall. Like many of the Human's League's members, Thrag had a questionable reputation. (SC)

Thrago
This moon orbited a yellow gas giant in the sectors of the Unknown Regions that were controlled by the Chiss. The Chiss established a supply depot on the moon, which saw increasing activity when the Colony began its expansion, under the control of the Gorog hive. Jaina Solo, her brother Jacen, and Zekk launched a sneak attack on the depot at Thrago, some five years after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, in an effort to disrupt the advances of the Chiss against the Killik hives of the Colony. Jacen, however, had his own motivation for joining the mission, having seen a vision in which the entire galaxy was plunged into unending war with the Colony if the Chiss were allowed to press their advantage. Jaina, upon realizing that Jacen was also going to work to destroy the Colony, refused to talk to him for the duration of the war. (DN2)

This was a species of immense, armored creatures used by the Yuuzhan Vong to control their slave populations. The 9.5-meter-long thrall herder had a dome-shaped carapace that served as protection, and it moved about on thousands of cilia-like legs. These creatures could also spit a glob of pure plasma across a great distance, an action that could be used for attack of defense. When ridden into battle by a Yuuzhan Vong warrior, the thrall herder used a specialized surge-coral device to control up to 600 enslaved beings, forcing them to fight as the first wave of a ground assault. In this way, the Yuuzhan Vong could save their own warriors - as well as Chazrach warriors - for the final assault. (NJOSB)

Thran-class Vessel
This Empire introduced this starship to its fleet shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (SWCP)

Thrang
This gas giant was the fifth and largest planet in the Elrood System. It had seven natural satellites. (PG3)

Thranta
This creature, native to the planet Alderaan, was a reptavian of incredible beauty and diversion. No less that four species of thranta were once native to Alderaan, although only the common thranta - sometimes called the Alderaan or Bespin thranta - were exported to Bespin before Alderaan was destroyed. The great thranta, the pilotta thranta, and the balana thranta were all exterminated with the destruction of Alderaan. The thranta was basically a huge, floating wing, bouyed by a lighter-than-air bladder. This gave rise to the common nickname of kite creatures. They were very docile creatures, and could be easily domesticated. All four major subspecies could be trained to serve as transportation beasts, carrying individuals or entire barges. The average thranta lived or forty standard years or so. The thrantas that survive on Bespin, known as rodeo thrantas, were descendants of domesticated thranta that were used as flying mounts. The thranta was used on Alderaan as a transportation method as well as a show-beast. Smaller thranta were trained as recreational mounts. Some thranta were even transported to Coruscant, to be used as Imperial courier beasts. However, these thrantas wasted away without their natural environment to thrive in. The noxious fumes and emissions of the planet-wide city seemed to poison them. (ISU, JS, WSW, WOTC)

Thranta Riders
These humanoids were a silent, mysterious group that have befriended the thrantas that inhabit Bespin's atmosphere. They have large cranial lobes and thin faces, and often tattoo themselves with wild, swirling patterns. They remain aloof from all of Bespin's culture, and little was known about their origins. They have developed a monthly sky rodeo, which they perform for the visitors to Bespin. They take their thrantas through a series of wild loops and spirals, and the riders themselves leap from their thrantas a fly through the clouds. Their thrantas then swoop under them and catch them. (ISU)

Thranta-class War Cruiser
Developed by the Alderaanian military, the Thranta-class was one of the last warships built before Alderaan demilitarized. All of the Thranta-class ships were supposedly destroyed when the planet removed all weapons, but three ships - the Valiant, Courage, and Fidelity - were retained to guard the Another Chance. (BW)

Thrantcill
This black-eyed avian creature was native to the planet Coruscant. It was a resilient species, having adapted its migration patterns over the millennia as Coruscant's weather and climate were altered to meet the needs of the growing city-world. The thrantcill was also harvested for a variety of culinary uses, including the use of its internal organs to create a simply pate'. The oils and fluids extracted from the body of the thrantcill were also used to create perfumes and scents. (TCD)

Thranx, Seeqov
This Vratix of the Seeqov hive-clan was a member of the Razorclaws, the group which would eventually become known as the Ashern, during the height of the Alazhixazha period. Thranx also served as the primary contact for the corporate spy known only as the Bloodletter. She was ostensibly his counterpart when the Bloodletter worked as a field inspector for both the Xucphra and Zaltin factions. Her cover during this period was actually based on fact. Thranx was a respected field inspector and research scientist, and had once helped to eradicate a Rodian fungus that had threatened the planet five years earlier. Her hatred of the Bacta Cartel stemmed partly from the fact that both the Zaltin and Xucphra factions kept the incident a secret, and each claimed total responsibility for solving the fungus epidemic without Vratix help. When the Ashern began development on an enhanced strain of alazhi known as kolazhi - the basis for kolcta - Thranx and the Bloodletter were ordered to keep an eye on its development. They worked together for a year before the project was discovered. A mercenary who wore armor much link Jango Fett's had been hired by the Bacta Cartel to eliminate the Ashern responsible for its development. The mercenary shot both Thranx and the Bloodletter and then left them for dead. Thranx, however, survived long enough to use the enhance bacta to bring the Bloodletter back from the brink of death. Before she died, she told him the complete story of kolcta. (PH)

Thrar'kor
This was a traditional Trandoshan sword. (SWJ4)

Thrasher
This was the name of one of Oron Kira's warbeasts. (DLS)

Thrass
This was the core name of the Chiss indvidual known as Mitth'ras'safis. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, Thrass was serving as the Syndic of the Eighth Ruling Family, a position that often put him at odds with his brother, Thrawn. As a member of the Ruling Circle, Thrass had to put the needs of the Chiss before any loyalty to his brother, even if Thrawn was considered trial-born. Thus, when Thrawn began working to put a stop to Vagaari predations before the nomads reached Chiss space, Thrass had no recourse but to confront Thrawn about his actions. He was torn between punishing Thrawn and giving him the latitude to do what was necessary to protect the Chiss, and he ultimately asked Admiral Ar'alani to intervene and pass judgement on Thrawn. In this way, Thrass could ensure that Thrawn received a military trial, saving both Thrawn and their family from possible retaliation by the other Ruling Families. He enver got a chance to see Thrawn brought to trial, however, as Jorj Car'das "escaped" from Thrawn's control and set out to locate the Vagaari. This led Thrass to believe that Car'das was actually a spy, and when the Vagaari came to confront the Chiss forces, he was forced to allow Thrawn to defend their ships. Unknown to Thrass, Thrawn was anticipating the Vagaari attack, as well as the arrival of Outbound Flight, as part of a two-pronged plan to eliminate the Vagaari and the Jedi. Thus, when the plan was revealed to have been developed by both Thrawn and Admiral Ar'alani, Thrass became angry and resentful at having been played by his brother and a commanding officer. It was actually Car'das who later explained the entire plan, proving to Thrass that it had been necessary in order to protect him from political repercussions if it had failed. When Aristocra Formbi arrived to formally reprimand Thrawn for his actions, Thrass realized that Outbound Flight could not fall into the possession of his ruling family. Any family that controlled the technology and information contained in its computer systems would hold a distinct advantage over the other families. Thrass agreed to help move the massive vessel to a remote location, and was surprised to find Jedi Knight Lorana Jinzler had survived the attacks. With Jinzler's help, Thrass managed to leave the scene of the battle before Formbi could react, but their escape left Outbound Flight's drive systems badly damaged. They were forced to crash-land on a remote planetoid in the Redoubt, but the plan was altered when the other survivors tried to reach the D-Four Dreadnaught, instead of remaining in the central storage core. Thrass and Jinzler were then forced to remain in the D-One Dreadnaught as it plowed into the planetoid, and gave their lives to ensure that the D-Four Dreadnaught sustained minimal damage in the impact. (OF)

Thrawn
This male Chiss was a respected and honored commander in the Chiss Expansionary Defense Force during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, although not every Chiss was the Defense Hierarchy shared that view. His abilities to accurately predict his opponent's moves, and his tactical genius, moved him through the ranks with a quiet speed. Thrawn, whose full name was Mitth'raw'nuruodo, was trial-born into the Nuruodo family, which the Eighth Ruling Family during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Unlike most Chiss, Thrawn believed that there were certain times when a Chiss needed to strike the first blow in a battle, instead of sitting back and waiting for the enemy to attack first. He particularly believed this was the case with the Vagaari, who had been subjugating planets in the Unknown Regions while the Chiss simply ignored them. At the time, Thrawn was the youngest Chiss ever to hold the rank of Field Commander, and was leading Picket Force Two on a long patrol of the borders of the Chiss Ascendancy. He continually encountered Vagaari forces, and reported to his superiors on the subjugation andenslavement of entire races. Repeated encounters only heightened his sense of concern. Thrawn decided to strike a blow against the Vagaari some five years before the onset of the Clone Wars, when he captured one of their early gravity well projectors. He planned to use the device to capture more Vagaari, but was presented with a chance to capture the Dreadnaughts of the Outbound Flight project by Kinman Doriana. Unknown to the Jedi, Palpatine had sent a task force led by Doriana to make sure they didn't get started. The fifteen-ship Imperial force was summarily wiped out by Thrawn's small fleet of ships, although Doriana's ship was allowed to survive. Doriana then explained that the mission of Outbound Flight, though noble, mighgt possibly attract the notice of the Far Outsiders. Thrawn was aware of the predations of the Far Outsiders, and agreed that Outbound Flight needed to be stopped. He then saw the opportunity to eliminate both Outboard Flight and the Vagaari. After rendering Outbound Flight a derelict and destroying a large part of the Vagaari fleet, Thrawn agreed to let Doriana return to Coruscant. Chancellor Palpatine, acting in the guise of Darth Sidious, spent the next several years searching for Thrawn, in hopes of bringing his military genius into the Galactic Empire. After the establishment of the New Order, Thrawn learned about the Empire's the use of pre-emptive strikes against his opponents. The Ruling Circle of the Chiss regarded such unprovoked attacks as a form of murder, and exiled Thrawn after one particularly bloody incident. He was stripped him of his rank and exiled to live on an uninhabited world near Imperial space. It was here that Captain Voss Parck discovered Thrawn, eventually convincing him to travel to Coruscant and serve in Palpatine's Imperial Navy. Thrawn received private schooling in Imperial military academies, becoming a Captain shortly after the Battle of Yavin and quickly rising through the ranks as one of the few non-humans in the Navy. He later claimed that he contradicted the orders of Emperor Palpatine on at least four occasions; after the first, Palpatine learned that Thrawn was often correct. When Darth Vader was called by the Emperor to become more involved in his plot to capture Luke Skywalker, Vader assigned Thrawn to be the "guardian" of the Noghri on Honoghr. This exposure to Vader and Palpatine led to Thrawn's promotion to Vice Admiral, where he helped design the missile gunboat. As Vice Admiral, Thrawn oversaw the development of an Imperial outpost in the Pakuuni System, then assisted in the defense of Palpatine against Zaarin's treachery. However, Thrawn could not capture Zaarin before he made his escape into hyperspace. Further service to the Emperor garnered Thrawn a full promotion to Admiral, at which time he served on the Inexorable under Ysanne Isard. Sometime later, Thrawn was promoted to Grand Admiral, and he convinced both Isard and Soontir Fel that a group of clones created from Fel's genetic material would make perfect sleeper agents. They could pilot ships, and would be loyal to the Empire. During a political party in the Emperor's court, Thrawn made a rare judgmental error and wound up on the wrong side of a debate. This angered Palpatine, but it also gave him an excuse to move Thrawn out of the limelight. Thrawn and Parck were sent back to the Unknown Regions as punishment, but were continually fed Imperial support. While there, Thrawn and Parck set up the compound known as the Hand of Thrawn on Nirauan, drawing a military force from the Chiss who still supported Thrawn. During their tenure, they won over large sectors of the region. These sectors could have vastly increased the Empire, had not Palpatine died at Endor. Thrawn decided to hedge his bets, and began fortifying the Hand of Thrawn. He left Parck there, in charge of the planet, when he decided to return to the rest of the galaxy some four years after the Battle of Endor. He left word with Parck and the Chiss who supported him that, if he was ever reported dead, that they should wait ten years for his return. As one of the surviving Grand Admirals, Thrawn was able to quickly garner support from the Imperial remnants, obtaining control of the small fleet under the command of then-Captain Pellaeon. Using Noghri strike forces and clever deceptions - such as cloaking devices and clones recovered from the Mount Tantiss facility - Thrawn and his growing fleet began systematically retaking pieces of the New Republic a year later. He was successful until the Battle of Bilbringi, where his fleet was decimated and he was killed by his Noghri bodyguard, Rukh. In order to ensure that he would eventually return to the Chiss on Nirauan, as he promised, Thrawn had Parck and Fel maintain a clone of himself, ready for rebirth at the ten-year mark. The clone was never activated, as Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade discovered the ruse and exposed it to the New Republic. (HTTE, DFR, TLC, TIE, WG, SOP, VOF, GOF8, OF)

Thrawn Pincer
A space warfare developed by Admiral Ackbar, the Thrawn Pincer was based primarily on the tactics of Grand Admiral Thrawn. In a given battle situation, Ackbar would bring in two separate fleets. The first would emerge from hyperspace inside the system which was under attack, and would engage the enemy's fleet. The second fleet would emerge on the far side of the system to await further orders. When the battle began to turn for the enemy, Ackbar would wait for the enemy to fire up the gravity well projectors of an Interdictor-class cruiser. The move would mean that Ackbar's forces couldn't leave the system via hyperspace, and gave the enemy a false sense of victory. On Ackbar's mark, the second fleet would use a microjump through hyperspace to join the primary fleet. The exact location of their exit from hyperspace would be determined by the placement of the enemy's Interdictor cruiser, but would almost always be behind the enemy fleet. This was the activation of the pincer, catching the enemy fleet between its own gravity shadow and the fresh Republic fleet. The Thrawn Pincer was first used during the liberation of Ciutric from Prince-Admiral Krennel, and proved to be quite effective. (IR)

Thrawn Simulator
This was a series of military and naval simulations developed by the New Republic, and later refined and augmented by the Galactic Alliance, for training military leaders in a variety of combat scenarios. Only one being ever successfully defeated the entire series of simulations, Admiral Nek Bwua'tu, who later became the commander of the Galactic Alliance's Fifth Fleet. (DN2)

Threadneedle Canyon
This high-walled, crescent-shaped canyon was located on the planet Nadiem. Some five months after the Battle of Geonosis, Threadneedle Canyon was the site of a skirmish between a group of clone troopers led by Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee, and a droid army led by General Grievous. Grievous remained hidden from view, and directed his forces to trap the Republic's forces within the walls of Threadneedle Canyon. However, Barriss Offee and her troops literally played dead, and the Separatist forces passed them by. This allowed Offee's forces to attack the droids from the rear, crushing the Separatist forces between the two halves of the Republic's force. (CWA2)

Three Jetties Gourmet Restaurant
This restaurant, which floated within the boundaries of the Thee Jetties on the planet Lamaredd, was considered an eyesore by the sailors and fishermen who regularly traveled to Bartyn's Landing. During the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo, however, it was considered popular only because it was frequented by Guther Bartyn. (GMR7)

Three Rings of Defense
This was the set of self-defense positions that were used by the Jedi Knights during lightsaber combat. Each ring required a different set of tactics and guard positions to address specific situations. The outer ring gave the Jedi the most freedom of movement, and had four positions - upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right - that allowed a Jedi to swing their lightsaber in great arcs when deflecting an enemy attack. When a Jedi fell back into the outer ring, they could deliver powerful blows to an enemy, but these sweeping blows took time to deliver. When in the outer ring, the lightsaber was held on a diagonal, allowing it to move smoothly through each arc.

The middle ring of defense was closer to the body, but also had four positions - high, low, left, and right. The lightsaber was held parallel to the ground at head height in the high position, and at the knees in the low position. The lightsaber was held perpendicular to the ground on either side of the body in the left and right positions. By falling into the middle ring, a Jedi could deflect quicker attacks from an enemy, as well as deflect blaster bolts.

The inner ring, being the closest to the body, was considered the last line of defense. It was considered dangerous to be in the inner ring, but it could also provide the most dangerous attacks. The lightsaber was held close to the body, with the blade angled in such a way that the lower third of the blade caught all the attacks from an enemy. This allowed the Jedi to parry an incoming attack, then swiftly move into an attack position to catch the enemy in the torso when they tried to adjust their position.

By opening oneself to the Force and moving into and out of various rings, a Jedi could adapt to almost any attack that an enemy might use, giving the Jed time to find their own opening in which to defeat an attacker. (EGF)

Three Tentacle
This was the nickname used by Alema Rar to describe the Quarren pilgrim she encountered in the undercity of Coruscant, during her hunt for Jacen Solo, some five years after the Battle of Tenupe. The nickname stemmed from the Quarren's apparent loss of several facial tentacles. Three Tenacle and his fellow Quarren were on their way to visit the World Brain, which they referred to as The Friend, or simply It. When asked by Alema about Solo's location, the Quarren explained that he was also on his way to see the World Brain. (LF3)

Three, The
This was the basic element of all family business performed by the Kubaz race. The eldest child was in charge of the family's businesses, with the assistance of the next two younger siblings.

Threna
This misplaced Supreme-class servant droid was sent to the planet Grathus upon being manufactured. The natives of Grathus had been expecting a load of waste treatment parts, but the shipping company delivered the droid by mistake. Xig Rollem purchased the droid and altered its programming, giving it the name Threna and employing the droid as a bartender at his cantina. The droid'd original programming was basically unaltered, though, and it acted with the utmosy courtesy to Rollem's patrons, most of whom were rowdy miners and hired hands. However, over time, Threna's demeanor actually rubbed off on the patrons, who gradually became more refined. (SWJ10)

A beast which was the object of many safari hunts. They were far from predictable, which made the hunt very interesting and challenging. (SOP, VOF)

Thresher
Native to the rocky coastlines of the planet Tinallis, this short-lived avian was known for its aerobatic flying. They hunt by riding the thermals and winds along the coast, diving into the water to snatch fish and crustaceans. Despite their avian appearance, research had indicated that the thresher had mammalian ancestors. They were warm-blooded, and suckle their offspring. These creatures were extremely territorial, and developed social groups which helped protect their families. They also mate for life. Further research into the thresher's life revealed that they were instrumental in keeping the population of blue-ringed sea crabs down to a minimum, maintaining a balance in the oceanic food chain. The government of Tinallis outlawed the hunting of the avians, especially after several gourmet restaurants began serving thresher on their menus. (COG)

Threshold of the Hidden Realms
According to Skakoan legend, the Threshold of the Hidden Realms was located just beyond the Gates of Grontessiant.

During the Clone Wars, Thriven and his forces made regular excursions into Republic-held territory, striking without warning and returning to Thule quickly. (GORW)

Thriving Season
This was the Basic translation of the word Alazhixazha, used by the Vratix to refer tot he ten years following the Battle of Naboo, during which time the Vratix controlled both the Zaltin and Xucphra factions. Because of the bloodless coup that put the Vratix in control, as well as the intrigue that occurred during the ten years, the Thriving Season became a popular setting for many of the grittiest holoserials produced during the New Order and the early part of the New Republic. (PH)

Throat Slasher
This Yuuzhan Vong warship was under the command of Tsaa Qalu, during the alien race's invasion of the galaxy. Tsaa Qalu was given command of the ship by the Viith Yalu and the Shapers who were stationed on Wayland, in order for him to capture the crew of the No Luck Required before they could discover the Yuuzhan Vong plans to destroy all production of bacta. The Yuuzhan Vong managed to ensure Bey Gandan made it to Thyferra, primarily by capturing the Dug Leaft and holding him aboard the ship. Leaft, however, struggled to find a way to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong. When Leaft had decided that the Yuuzhan Vong were not going to let him live, he fought back against Tsaa Qalu and his crew. The Dug stole a coralskipper and used the cognition hood in the craft to force the Throat Slasher to crash into Thyferra. Tsaa Qalu and his entire crew were killed in the explosion. (SWI64)

Throat, The
This section of the Transitory Mists offered the only safe passage to the planet Shedu Maad. In addition to the normal hazards of flying through the Mists, a starship had to bypass a multitude of gravity wells and planetary debris in order to reach the planet. The Throat was the name chosen by Jedi Master Saba Sebatyne to describe the safe pathway through these navigational hazards to Shedu Maad, but a ship had to travel at sublight speeds in order to pass through The Throat. This situation made Shedu Maad the perfect location of a hidden Jedi base, and provided the Jedi with an ability to confront Darth Caedus, when he finally discovered the location of the Maad System. (LF9)

Throbe
A diminutive alien race. (APS)

Throgg
Luke Skywalker gave the Lars moisture farm to this alien, following the deaths of Owen and Beru Lars. A well-muscled humanoid with a tall, rectangular skull, Throgg was known as one of Tatooine's nastiest spice smugglers. Throgg was the individual Luke discovered through the Force, in the Mos Eisley cantina, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Throgg told Luke that he had once been a farmer, until the Empire took control of the galaxy and shattered what little peace he had. Despite his initial misgivings about returning to a farmer's life, Throgg accepted Luke's deal and managed the farm for a couple of seasons before Gavin Darklighter's uncle Huff tried to steal the farm by initiating an alien landowner tax. Gavin's father bought the farm before Huff could enforce the tax, and Throgg was able to remain on the farm, albeit as a tenant. (XWN, 3D1)

Throgg
A soft-bellied, skittish creature. (CFG)

Throne Chamber

Throne of Balance
According to the Mind Walkers, the Throne of Balance was where Abeloth awaited those who sought knowledge and truth. Any being wishing to speak with Abeloth had to successfully pass the tests at the Font of Power and the Pool of Knowledge, before they would be allowed to ascend to the Throne of Balance. There, the Mind Walkers believed, an individual would be able to discern the cource of the future. Those beings who made it to the Throne of Balance found it surrounded by a hundred other beings of regal stature, from a nuber of different races and species. The Throne itself was a simple, white chair that was housed in a bright chamber. Luke Skywalker visited the Throne of Balance, some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, while he was on a self-imposed mission to trace the steps of Jacen Solo, in an attempt to discover what had turned the former Jedi into the Sith Lord known as Darth Caedus. Seek Ryontarr explained that Jacen had seen an image of a dark man sitting on the throne, and that Jacen believed that he had to finish his training in order to overcome the dark man and change what he had seen in the Pool of Knowledge, even though doing so would probably kill him. Ryontarr would not explain beyond this, however, leaving Luke with yet another mystery. For his own part, Luke saw a vision of Allana Djo Solo, Jacen's daughter by Tenel Ka, taking her place as the ruler of a peaceful and prosperous galaxy. (FJ3)

Throne Rocks

The asteroids within the belt were mined for doonium and turminum by the Kanauer Corporation during the height of the New Order. (BSS)

Thrum
This male Fia was an assistant to Primate Persha during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, arrived at Galantos to try and restore communications to the Galactic Alliance, Thrum was forced into escorting them around Al'solib'minet'ri City, in an effort to keep them from learning the true reason behind the communications blackout. His efforts were not good enough, however, after Jaina Solo and the Chiss pilot Miza discovered that the Yevetha had been utterly wiped out by the Yuuzhan Vong. Much to Thrum's dismay, Leia and Han learned that the Fia had provided information on the Yevetha in exchange for resources and a temporary freedom. Thrum, however, decided that it was best to help the Solos plan a defense for Galantos when the Yuuzhan Vong decided that they no longer needed the Fia. (FH1)

Thrumble, Massad
This man owned an upscale cantina on Hurd's Moon, during the early years of the New Republic. The role of a cantina owner was little more than a disguise, however. Thrumble was, at one time, an expert in robotics who worked for the Empire. As a Captain, he oversaw the creation of many series of droids, including the human replica droid known as Guri. Thrumble worked for the Empire for many years, and produced the HRD duplicates of Governor Torlock and his daughter, Frija, before retiring from Imperial service as the Admiral in command of the Empire's Droid Research Facility. Years later, the HRD known as Guri sought him out in the hope that he could remove the programming that made her an assassin. Thurmble succeeded, but also managed to obtain complete technical details on the humna replica droid, and later completed an HRD of his own before he was killed. (SEE, SWI75, NEGD)

(RAC)

Thrust Initiator
This part of a starship's hyperdrive system controlled a ship's entry into hyperspace. As the thurust initiator was engaged, the hyperdrive was fed the power it needed to propel the ship into hyperspace. (MIS3)

Thrust Tube
This specially-developed tube was used to channel the thrust of a starship's engine system to the exhaust nacelles, where it provided propulsion for the ship. Thrust tubes had to be reinforced against heat, radiation, and pressure, so that the maximum amount of thrust could be expelled through the nacelles. (TFUN)

Thruster Head
This addictive drug was popular among smugglers and other elements of the criminal underworld, during the height of the New Order, since it provided the user with a brief boost in mental agility and focus. (SWG2P)

Th'Trar, Zal Tuag
This junior Zal'Tra was the son of a Coynite noble who was sympathetic to the Alliance. Because of this, Zal Tuag got the chance to acquaint himself with many outstanding off-worlders. He used these meetings to report back to his father on their honor and status, as well as the status of the Galactic Civil War. Zal Tuag was fairly self-righteous about his heritage, and earned himself a rivalry with Zal Afreg Kt'Aya in passing. (PG3)

Th'twirirl
This Ssi-ruu Commander led the invasion of the planet G'rho, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. (TBSB)

Thu ka kee
When translated into Basic, this Ewok word meant "tree." (GPB)

Thud Bug
This species of flying insect was bio-engineered from the sparkbee, which was once native to Yuuzhan'tar, the homeworld of the Yuuzhan Vong. The warriors used the flying bugs, known as nang hul, as projectile weapons, often imbedding them in their flesh or armor for use in battle. The silver-carapaced thud bugs could inflict simply physical trauma, or they could be modified to carry explosives which detonated on contact. In flight, a thuhd bug could reach speeds over 150 kilometers per hour. After the hostilities between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance were resolved, and the Yuuzhan Vong were allowed to live on the planet Zonama Sekot, they found that thud bugs and many other bio-engineered weapons simply reverted to their animal forms and fled into the forests. This was one way in which Sekot forced the Yuuzhan Vong to give up their lust for war and embrace a more enlightened existence. (VP, JE, EVC, T, UF, NEGW)

Thug
This Gamorrean served Jabba the Hutt as one of the palace guards, at Jabba's Palace on Tatooine. Thug was often paired with Thok while on duty. (CCG14)

Thugger's Alley
This hidden passage, located in the Orange District beneath the surface of Galactic City, on the planet Coruscant, was named for the lowlife criminals who prowled its environs during the early months of the New Order. It was here that Dexter Jettster and the surviving Erased managed to hide out, after Inquisitor Malorum attacked Solace's compound. Imperial spies eventually learned of Dex's operatoins in the area, and sent a quad of stormtroopers to raid the area and destroy anything that they found. This forced Dex to destroy much of his information before he escaped, in order to prevent the Imperials from deciphering it. The stormtroopers were brutally thorough, destroying virtually every building and structure in Thugger's Alley. (LJ4, LJ8, LJ9)

Thugs of Thule
This was one of the most infamous, and also the most highly educated, gangs of mercenaries active during the last decades of the Old Republic. (IWE2)

Thuk
When translated into Basic, this Ewok word meant "rock." (GPB)

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

Thuku
A Chattza Rodian, he and Neesh - under the direction of Navik the Red - hired Spurch Goa to get Greedo killed. Thuku was on Tatooine when Han Solo shot Greedo in the Mos Eisley Cantina. (TME, CCG2)

Thul
This noble Alderaanian family had purple, scarlet, orange, and gold colors in their family crest. Their clothing often reflected their family colors, and was considered quite gaudy by many other families. Most of the members of the Thul family had been off-planet when Alderaan was destroyed by the first Death Star, traveling the galaxy on a number of business ventures. The surviving members established residences on the planet Coruscant. (DIV, TEP)

Thul, Aryn Dro
This blue-eyed Alderaanian woman was born to the noble Dro family. She was known to the former inhabitants of Aldera for her ballads and songs, and she honed her craft during her studies at Alderaan University, where she majored in music and business. Aryn often performed solo, with a mandoviol to accompany her. She had begun dating Bornan Thul during her time at the university, when she met a young Han Solo, who had stopped on Alderaan after being attacked by pirates. She enjoyed his company, much to the chagrin and jealousy of Thul. However, Solo was not one to remain in one place for too long, and she eventually got over him and married Bornan.

After they managed to escape the destruction of their homeworld, Aryn and Bornan relocated to the planet Coruscant, where they established the Bornaryn Trading corporation. They had a son, Raynar, who was born aboard the flagship Tradewyn, and was discovered to have some sensitivity to the Force. Raynar joined the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 shortly before his father disappeared. Unknown to his wife, Bornan had become tangled up in the plans of Nolaa Tarkona to destroy the human race, and he had gone into hiding to prevent Tarkona from locating a virus that would only kill humans.

Aryn went to Yavin 4 to see if her son had any knowledge of Bornan's whereabouts, and to protect him. Raynar and his friends agreed to return to the Tradewyn, although Aryn had to force Raynar to remain on the ship while the others left to seek out information on Bornan's whereabouts. The young Jedi Knights managed to locate Bornan and defeat the Diversity Alliance, and Aryn agreed to allow Raynar to continue his Jedi training.

Years later, after the Yuuzhan Vong launched their attack on the galaxy, Raynar was believed to have died at Myrkr, on the same mission that claimed the life of Anakin Solo. Aryn fell into despair for many months, mourning the loss of her son, until Tesar Sebatyne tracked down Madame Thul to tell her that her son was still alive. After explaining the situation that created UnuThul, Tesar then gave her a message from her son, hoping to acquire ships and supplies from Bornaryn to help maintain the Colony during its struggle with the Chiss. Lady Thul agreed, much to the dismay of the Galactic Alliance and the Jedi.

As the war ground on, the Bornaryn Shipping Empire continued to gain prominence as well as influence, and Lady Thul led several efforts to purchase corporations that produced materiel and supplies for the war effort. This allowed her to gain a measure of influence over the policies of the Alliance, although she was very careful not to cross over into outright blackmail. (TPS, DIV, TEP, DN1)

Thul, Bornan
This Alderaanian man was Aryn Dro's boyfriend, during the early years of the New Order. They had met at Alderaan University, where Bornan was studying business and art. He was jealous of Han Solo's bravery and the attention paid him by Aryn. After Han became a smuggler, Bornan eventually won Aryn's favor. They were later married, and Bornan became an Alderaanian nobleman with a vast shipping empire. He and his wife were off-planet when the Death Star destroyed Alderaan, and so were among the handful of Alderaanians who survived the Galactic Civil War. They relocated their operations to Coruscant, and formed the Bornaryn Trading corporation. In the years that followed, Aryn gave birth to the couple's only son, Raynar, who was later trained at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4.

After the Battle of Endor, Bornan became involved with the trade negotiations and alliances of the New Republic. He also began working with Nolaa Tarkona, and negotiated a deal for trade rights with her. While on his way to meet Han Solo at the New Republic Trade Council on Shumavar, he discovered that the cargoes he purchased from Fonterrat contained the Emperor's Plague. Rather than allow Nolaa Tarkona to acquire the virus, Bornan went into hiding and attempted to destroy the storehouse from which the virus came. Tarkona immediately placed a bounty on his head, after learning that he had confiscated the hyperspace navigation system core that contained the location o fthe storehouse.

Bornan managed to elude such notorious bounty hunters as Boba Fett and Dengar, and kept the location of the storehouse away from Tarkona until he was found by his son and Zekk. When they tried to destroy the storehouse, Bornan sacrficed himself in order to kill Tarkona, who had unleashed the Emperor's Plague. Bornan was able to infect her with another of the viruses before he succumbed to the plague. (TPS, SHA, DIV, TEP, NECH)

Thul, Raynar
This spoiled, troublesome heir of Bornan and Aryn Dro Thul, Raynar was a student at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 at the same time Jacen and Jaina Solo were there. He always wore outrageous clothing styled in his family's royal colors, none of which go with each other. A bristly-haired blond youth, Raynar disliked Jacen Solo, especially Jacen's collection of exotic creatures. Raynar was bitten a number of times by Jacen's crystal snake. When the Shadow Academy attacked Yavin 4, Raynar discovered that he wasn't as skilled as he believed himself to be. In a quick fight with Brakiss' Dark Jedi, Raynar ended up face-down in a riverbank and missed most of the fighting. Raynar's demeanor changes, and he decided that he must work for the prestige he wanted, rather than claim it was his. Raynar and Jacen eventually overcame their differences and became good friends. After Han Solo delivered the news that Bornan had disappeared, Ranyar became entangled with the Diversity Alliance.

After Zekk returned to Yavin 4, he and Raynar agreed to cooperate and search out Raynar's father. They took the Lightning Rod, and eventually located Bornan. Raynar assisted all his friends in defeating the forces of the Diversity Alliance. Later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Raynar was part of an elite force sent to Myrkr to locate the voxyn queen and destroy it. During the mission, he got to known Eryl Besa quite well. Despite the fact that she was older, they found themselves attracted to each other. However, Eryl was killed shortly after the Jedi team entered the Baanu Rass, and Raynar fell into despair. After being slashed by a voxyn, Raynar was transported to the Tachyon Flier, and tried to work with Lowbacca to repair the ship as a way to relieve the pain. The ship was stolen by Welk and Lomi Plo, who forced Lowbacca off the ship as they departed. When the small freighter was attacked by Yuuzhan Vong ships and disappeared, Raynar was believed to have died along with his captors. However, their ship managed to escape to the Unknown Regions before crashing. Welk and Lomi Plo fled the site after Raynar dragged them out of the wreckage, and Raynar was able to survive only because he was rescued by members of the Yoggoy hive of the Colony. His badly burned body was nursed back to health, and Raynar's connection to the Force allowed him to communicate with his rescuers. He eventually became the first - and strongest - of the Joiners, and fully pledged himself to the newly-formed Unu hive. After a while, he became known simply as UnuThul.

Under his guidance, the various hives of the Colony flourished, and began to expand beyond their former systems toward Chiss space. For all intents and purposes, Raynar Thul had ceased to exist. For many years, his memory of saving Welk and Lomi Plo was missing, and he refused to acknowledge that he had saved them until he was presented with Welk's body nearly six years later. It was at this time that Thul was forced to acknowledge the existence of the Dark Nest, although he continued to work toward the expansion of the Colony. However, the Colony's advance at the Battle of Tenupe was stopped by the Chiss, and a bloody stalemate ensued. Millions died on both sides, until Raynar was confronted by Master Skywalker aboard the captured Star Destroyer Admiral Ackbar, after Skywalker had eliminated Lomi Plo. Luke was able to bring Raynar to a realization of the Colony's unusual growth, and eventually talked the young man into removing himself from the Killiks in order to let their population return to its natural state. Although the Chiss were not happy with the situation, Raynar was allowed to live and return to the Jedi facility on Ossus.

There, he was fitted with a special headgear that cut him off from contact with the remnants of the Colony, and helped him recover from the time he spent as a Joiner. Over the following years, he made slow progress on his road to recovery. He agreed to have his arm replaced with a cybernetic prosthesis, and considered having surgery to repair the burns and scars that covered his body. Despite this progress, however, many Jedi and some government officials demanded that Raynar be held in a maximum-security prison, rather than at the Jedi Temple. The Jedi Order refused to allow Raynar to be kept at a standard prison facility, and instead sequestered him with the Temple's Asylum Block. There, Raynar was kept free from a connection to the Force, while the rest of his body and mind were allowed to heal. Over time, the healers and Masters who watched over him began to allow Raynar the freedom to leave his cell and walk about the rest of the Asylum Block, although he rarely left his cell on his own. Jedi Master Cilghal had all but declared Raynar was fully recovered from his ordeal, and often stated that it was Raynar himself who had not realized he had recovered.

In the weeks that followed, Raynar became more and more comfortable moving outside of his cell, and he eventually agreed to help Han and Leia Solo move the young Jedi Knights who were experiencing Force-related psychoses from the Asylum Block to the Millennium Falcon, so that Han could transport them to a secure facility on Shedu Maad. Raynar's presence proved invaluable when Bazel Warv overcame the tranquilizer in his system and threatened to escape from the FloatVan transport they were using to reach the spaceport. Bazel demanded to fight against the "imposters" who were keeping him prisoner, and killed a Mandalorian soldier who was tracking the transport by reaching through his armor to crush his chest. Raynar explained to Bazel that if he were to escape, he would be unable to save Yaqeel Saav'etu when she was moved to a new location by the Jedi. Bazel was forced to back down, rather than leave the Bothan behind, and the Solos were able get the affected Jedi to the spaceport. Raynar turned down an opportunity to travel to Shedu Maad and work with Tekli to cure the Jedi, but Raynar politely refused, stating that he wasn't quite ready to have that much freedom. He then explained that the unusual ability Bazel had exhibited in killing the Mandalorian soldier was actually a technique that had been perfected by the ancient Killiks. (HTF, SHA, TEP, SBS, NJOSB, DN1, DN2, DN3, LF3, FJ3)

Thul, Tyko
This man was Bornan Thul's younger brother. He was a recluse who remained safely behind the defenses of his administrative offices on Mechis III, rather than taking a position at the forefront of the Bornaryn Trading Company. Although he often was pompous and demanding to strangers, Tyko was loyal to his family, and would do anything required to protect them. Thus, Tyko hired Boba Fett to bring back his father and nephew, Raynar, after he discovered that Nolaa Tarkona was trying to capture them. Bornan had acquired knowledge of a plague that would kill only humans, and was the only being who knew the location of the storehouse that contained the plague and other Imperially-created viruses.

Bornan went into hiding, and other bounty hunters joined the search for his brother. Using underhanded tactics, several bounty hunters tried to capture Bornan's wife, Aryn Dro Thul, and Raynar, hoping to use them as bait to lure him out of hiding. Tyko himself believed that Bornan had gone into hiding to repair some scheme that had gone wrong, and was unprepared for the violence that was directed at the Thul family. He left his base of operations on Mechis III and joined Aryn Dro Thul on the Tradewyn, hoping to locate Bornan before the bounty hunters did.

When Tyko was apparently captured by the droid bounty hunter IG-88 on Kuar, Aryn and Raynar believed that it was only a matter of time before they were caught themselves. It was only after Raynar traveled to Mechis III that Tyko revealed what he had been up to. He had found the IG-88 droid and reprogrammed it to serve as a bodyguard. Using plans he found on Mechis III, Tyko also built several other IG-88 droids to protect the factories on the planet. By staging IG-88's appearance on Kuar, Tyko hoped that his "capture" would force Bornan Thul out of hiding. This plan didn't work out as planned, and Tyko was forced to protect his investments on Mechis III when Dengar attacked the planet in search of Bornan Thul.

After Bornan sacrificed his own life to destroy Nolaa Tarkona and prevent the use of any of the Imperial plagues, Tyko retreated to Mechis III. In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Tyko began to take a larger role in the family business, especially when it was reformed as the Bornaryn Shipping Empire. He was named the chief operating officer of Bornaryn Trading, and became one of his mother's primary advisors. (SHA, DIV, DOG, TEP, DN3)

Thula
This female Falleen was dispatched by Black Sun to the planet Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars, to ensure that the production of bota continued to provide a steady stream to the criminal underworld. Thula arrived on Drongar with Squa Tront, and worked with Kaird to re-establish the pipeline. However, it soon became known that the bota plant was mutating at a rate that would render it useless as a medicinal wonder-drug in a short time. Thus, Kaird's plans changed, and he worked to acquire enough processed bota to return to Black Sun and retire. Thula and Squa Tront had other plans, however. When Kaird entrusted them with obtaining the bota and leaving it at a predetermined location, the two criminals opted to keep the bota for themselves. In its place, they left Kaird with a cargo crate filled with explosives. They hoped to eliminate the Nediji and claim the payment for the bota for themselves. Unknown to both, however, was that Kaird discovered their duplicity, and had set out to hunt them down. (MJH)

Thula Rat
This creature was mentioned in the Tchuukthai epic poem C-3PO related to Han Solo, just before Han and Leia Organa traveled to the planet Dathomir. It was believed that the Tchuukthai considered the thula rat to be a source of food. (CPL)

Thulaka, Dahz
This notedly malevolent Twi'lek lived and worked deep in the bowels of Starlyte Station, where he performed a variety of dark experiments. Talandro Starlyte was aware that Thulaka captured unsuspecting visitors to the Station and used them in his experiments, but was somehow unable to stop it. Thulaka discovered, during his time studying to become a doctor, that he was sensitive to the Force, and dedicated most of his time to researching the mystical energy field. However, Thulaka lacked the patience to correctly develop an affinity with the Light Side of the Force. When the Dark Side called to him, Thulaka jumped in quickly and was shortly dominated by it. He began using his medical skills and his knowledge of the Force to try and create his own army of deformed creatures, capturing unwitting victims and performing strange and unusual experiments on them. These creatures often died quick, horrible deaths, since Thulaka lacked the power to maintain them. After settling on Starlyte Station, Thulaka found an abundance of "raw material" and set up a lab in the deepest section of the station. (WSV)

Thule
This semi-arid planet was known for its rich savannas, which were continually bombarded by lightning storms. The innermost planet of the Thurra System, Thule was covered with rocky outcroppings which broke up the plains, and which were charred black from being hit by lightning. This charred rock later served as a form of sustenance for unusual, bioluminescent moss that made the rocks glow with an eerie light. During the height of the Great Sith War, Thule served as a base of operations for the Sith warriors, and much of the planet's crust became imbued with the residue of the Dark Side of the Force. Although the Old Republic defeated the Sith, the forces on Thule continued to train, in hopes of one day going to war. After the Battle of Ruusan, the pair of Sith lords that remained in the galaxy often made use of the soldiers on Thule, but none of them were ever deeply involved in the Sith plot to take control of the galaxy.

During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Thule was the site of a Separatist base. It was here that Count Dooku hoped to reconstruct the Dark Reaper and use it against the Old Republic. However, with the help of Ulic Qel-Droma's spirit, Anakin Skywalker was able to destroy the Dark Reaper and spare Thule from any damage. As Emperor Palpatine rose to power, all records of Thule's existence were erased from archives and navigational databases, so the Palpatine could secretly draw on the soldiers as needed. The planet was orbited by a single satellite, known as the Thule Moon. It was believed that, at some point during its earliest history, Thule once supported many forms of life. However, over time, any indigenous plants and animals were either killed by the planet's inhabitants or Thule's devastating weather, or were frightened off. Note that Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force indicates that Thule was part of its own system, not part of the Thurra System. (GMR3, CWG, GORW, EGF)

Thule, Glovan
This man was better known as the Wise Man of Kooroo, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Many natives of Gelgelar believed he was a failed Jedi student, but most agreed that he had fled some bad situation and ended up on Gelgelar. (PSPG)

Thule, Ryoo
This woman was the mother of Jobal Naberrie. She survived the Battle of Naboo, and eventually retired to the Varykino estate of the Naberrie family. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Ryoo was forced to oversee the funeral preparations for her grand-daughter, Padme' Amidala. Ryoo was Padme's only surviving grandmother, since Winama Naberrie had died some thirteen years earlier. However, Padme's death had left Ryoo with a great deal of grief, and her retirement to Varykino was supposed to have helped her clear her head of Padme's memory. Her retreat lasted just six months, when she was confronted by Inquisitor Malorum, who was seeking information on Padme's death in the wake of the Clone Wars. When Ryoo politely refused to answer Malorum's questions, he quickly became angered and killed her in cold blood. Before she died, however, Ryoo was able to tell Ferus Olin that Malorum suspected the truth behind Padme's death. With her dying breath, Ryoo begged Ferus to protect her granddaughter's memory.

Thulls
This Ithorian owned and operated the Slippery Gelgelar Eel, within the Gelgelar Free Port, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Since coming to Gelgelar, Thulls seemed to have caught a permanent cold, and was always sniffling. This condition made him somewhat grumpy, and he wasn't averse to charging more for drinks to beings he didn't like. (PSPG)

Thumb Pass
A security device which employs a card reader and an thumb print scanner. In order to gain entrance to an area with a thumb pass, the individual must first have their thumb print scanned. The image was then stored in a special data card. The individual must then have their thumb print scanned again at the entrance to the area, as well as have their data card scanned. If the two thumb print images match, the individual was granted access. (AC)

Thumbcam
This was a generic term used to describe any small, thumb-sized camera system that could be used to secretly record an event for later review. Thumbcams were popular with reporters, since they could be used in almost any situation. (CN1)

Thumbprint Clasp
This specialized clasp could be programmed to remain locked until an individual with a specific thumbprint pattern opened it. The clasp could scan an individual's thumbprint, and matched the scan against the pre-programmed example. If the print was a match, the clasp would open. Otherwise, the clasp remained locked. Often these kinds of clasps were connected to a flashpacket, and would set off the explosive if the clasp were forced open by another being. This small charge destroyed whatever was inside the contained that was protected by the thumbprint clasp, as well as giving the thief a nasty burn. (EGF)

Thumper
This was the brand name of SoroSuub's TTT-54 grenade launcher. (AEG)

Thun, Hekis Durumm Perdo Kolokk Baldikarr
One of the few humans who lived on Mechis III, Hekis was the manufacturing administrator on the planet when IG-88 arrived after escaping the Holowan Laboratories. A vain man, Hekis added mythical titles to his name each time he felt unappreciated by his superiors, making his own signature appear more important. His droid, 3D-4X, delivered his afternoon tea on schedule, along with a datapad containing production data, on the day IG-88 arrived. 3D-4X also delivered a pair of blaster bolts which quickly killed the Administrator, on orders from IG-88 to leave no organic life on the planet. (TBH)

Thunder Cannon
This musical instrument simulates loud, booming crashes to emphasize certain aspects of orchestral music. (POT)

Thunder Drum
This large, self-powered percussion instrument stood well over two meters in height, and required two drum players to swing heavy mallets at its surfaces in order to produce beats. immense drum was played in the normal way, albeit with a large mallet. When struck, the skins of the drum reverberated with a deep, bass rumble, which was magnified by internally-powered amplifiers. (VD, CVD)

Thunder Lizard
An alien creature native to the planet Marca, the thunder lizard was a massive saurian beat which measured 12 meters in length and stood almost three meters tall. They preferred to live in the shallow waters of the planet, munching seaweed as they moved across their territory. They only came onto the land to mate. (POM)

Thunder Rifle
This projectile weapon was developed by the early Tusken Raider groups that fought against the humans who settled Tatooine. It was named because of the loud, sharp clap it makes when fired. (YJC1)

Thunder Road
This was the name given to the only known pathway that led out of Death Canyon. It was named for the fact that brigands and pirates often lined the path with explosives. They would then lure a target into the canyon and strand them there, setting off explosives as needed to prevent their targets from escaping. There were also several bottlenecks where the pirates could concentrate their blaster fire on a target, further preventing an escape. (CWA10)

Thunder Wraith
This was the name of Ambassador Yfra's Express-class shuttle. She took it to Yavin 4 to recover Tenel Ka, following the young Jedi's accidental loss of a hand. (L)

Thunderflare
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer was partially disabled when a shuttle crashed in one of its landing bays, although it was quickly refitted for duty. It was so heavily armed that power was shunted from its hyperdrive core to drive its turbolasers. The modifications to its weapons and power systems made it an incredible threat even without a supporting fleet, and it roamed the Outer Rim during the years before the Battle of Yavin. It often served as the first assignment for many junior officers. The ship was under the command of Captain Tanda Pryl, and later served as part of the fleet assigned to Moff Andal to patrol Elrood Sector. She was often in competition with Akal Zed, as the two Captains struggled to gain favor with their superiors. (CCG2, CCG8, OE)

ThunderForce
This mercenary unit was generally considered the victors in the Battle of Binquaros. They used Lot 452, on the planet Ukio, as their base of operations. (HAS)

Thunderhead
This New Republic warship was able to take out a Yevethan T-type warship near N'zoth. Its Captain, Ssiew, was able to provide valuable information about the thrustship's weaknesses to the Fifth Battle Group's leaders. This information was vital to the success of Operation Strong Hand. The Thunderhead was then assigned to the fleet which took part in the Battle of N'zoth. The Thunderhead came under intense fire from a combined Yevethan attack and was destroyed in the battle. (TT)

Thundering Herd
This was the name given to the initial group of AT-AT walkers that were placed under the command of General Maximillian Veers, for the purpose of training for a planetary assault.

Thunderstorm 63
An outdated model of weather satellite, often found in use around backwater worlds. (VP)

Thune
This large, elephantine grazer was native to the plains of Dantooine. About the size of a small shuttle, the thune was distinguished by its gray hide, which was thick and wrinkled, resembling bumpy stone. The ears of the thune were thin and fan-shaped, allowing it to dissipate excess body heat by holding them away from its body. A thick, noselike appendage hung from its face. (ROD)

Thune
This bleach-blonde woman was a bounty hunter of some renown. As a child, she dreamed of graduating from the Imperial Academy, but soon learned that women were frowned upon in the Empire's war machine. She eventually found work as an assassin and hired gun, and was contracted by an Imperial officer to eliminate Deckland Carper. After killing Carper and returning his head as proof, Thune took possession of Carper's droid, U-THR. She thought of the droid as a "spoil of war," which made the droid resentful of its new master. During the height of the New Order, Thune took a job trying to capture Lando Calrissian, shortly after he won the Cloud City mining outpost in a sabacc match. She tracked Calrissian to Mungo Baobab's roonstone processing center on Quilken, but was apprehended before she could take Calrissian captive. Calrissian and Baobab injected her with several grains of kessum, so that they could always track her position. They then hired her to capture Dominic Raynor, so that his grudge against Calrissian could finally be settled.

Thune later took the assignment of tracking down Kaj Nedmak for Bwahl the Hutt. Thune managed to waylay the Tryan Kajme with her own ship, the Faceted, then captured Kaj on Ord Mantell. She later used her street skills to convince Celia Durasha that Kaj had actually been captured by Treytis Prash. Thune convinced Celia that Prash was a bounty hunter, when in fact, Thune knew that Prash as a gun-runner for the Alliance. Thune hoped to capture Prash as well as Nedmak, collecting both bounties and acquiring a huge sum of credits. However, Thune failed to take U-THR's identity seriously. When Celia and Prash escaped, shortly after Thune had stabbed Kaj in the chest, the droid found itself unable to remain in Thune's company any longer. It provided Kaj with a blaster, and he quickly stunned Thune. U-THR then piloted the Faceted and rescued Celia and Treytis. In the end, Thune was turned over to the authorities, and Kaj and Celia took possession of the Faceted. U-THR joined them, as a full member of their crew. (SWJ14, OWS)

Thung, Jabrogg
This Gamorrean male was considered a criminal by the Galactic Humane Society for his cruelty to nerfs, during the years following the Battle of Naboo, after he mortally wounded several nerfs during a nerf-throwing competition. He was eventually captured for the bounty on his head by Jango Fett, who encountered Thung on the Outland Transit Station. (BH)

Thur, Larq
This man was known as a spelunking expert, and was part of the famed Twilight Class of the Galactic Outdoor Survival School. His skills at surviving in abandoned caves and mines was evidenced prior to his time at GOSS, when he escaped from the Spice Mines of Kessel, saving Thar'quan in the process. After graduating with the Twilight Class, Thur remained on OM813 as an instructor for several years before leaving to join the Alliance.

(HT)

Thustra
This planet, a world of temperate forests and gentle plains, was the homeworld of the Sephi race. During the height of the Clone Wars, Thustra chose to secede from the Old Republic, following the desires of King Alaric. Jedi Master Yoda, an old friend of Alaric, traveled to the planet to try and persuade his friend to remain with the Republic. However, the machinations of Navi and Alaric's own stubborn will prevented any reconciliation, and Thustra remained part of the Confederacyt of Independent Systems. Because Alaric had contacts in many surrounding systems, many of these systems also seceded to join the Separatists. (J5)

Thuvasaur
This species of saurian was imported to Eiattu, to be hunted in the jungles for sport. Being vicious predators, the thuvasaurs eventually consumed the native competition. They were similar in size and shape to a tauntaun, but were actually related to the dewback. A strain of thuvasaur was slowly domesticated by the royal families of Eiattu, until they were suitable for use as mounts. However, if not properly trained and handled, the wild nature of the thuvasaur can rise quickly to the surface and pose a threat for its rider. (XWWP)

Thuwisten
A term used to describe a Revwien follower of the Tyia, it was derived from the Tyia tenet which says that the thuwisten was the joining of spirits, complete in their utter harmony, seeking personal harmony with one's Tyia to strengthen the bond-circle." (GG12)

Thyferra
This planet, located in the Polith System, produced much of the galaxy's bacta. A temperate world with two moons, it was the homeworld of the Vratix race, which discovered how to create bacta from alazhi and kavam. The Vratix shared the secrets of bacta production with their human neighbors, and a healthy business was created as the galaxy realized the healing potential of bacta. The planet had two human factions engaged in bacta production, the Zaltin and Xucphra factions, in addition to the Vratix Ashern faction. The two human factions were chosen by Emperor Palpatine to supply the Empire's bacta, effectively eliminating all competition in the bacta market. The Vratix were relegated to the position of rebellious terrorists, until they petitioned the New Republic for admission as a member race. The Republic was unable to do so without the consent of the native human population, which was under the yoke of Ysanne Isard until she was killed in the Battle of Thyferra. Once free of Imperial domination, Thyferra applied for membership and was accepted. The Vratix then expelled the human leaders of the bacta cartels, and took control of its production for thenselves. Unfortunately, the Vratix were no match for the Yuuzhan Vong, who invaded the galaxy shortly afterward. The Yuuzhan Vong control of Thyferra casued serious problems to the New Republic, which had to rely on existing stockpiles of bacta to supply their military medical facilities. In a series of hit-and-run attacks, New Republic forces eventually defeated the alien invaders and recaptured the planet. During the height of the Swarm War, the Vratix government was targetted by the Colony for a military coup, and in effort to draw the Galactic Alliance into fighting smaller fires and leaving the Utegetu Nebula unguarded. This would allow the Colony to launch its full-scale attack on the Chiss, but the plans of the Colony were discovered by Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo. However, word of their discovery reached Defense Force Intelligence too late to save Thyferra, which fell quickly to Killik invaders. The loss of Thyferra caused short-term shortages of bacta throughout the galaxy, until the conflict with the Colony was finally resolved. The average day on Thyferra lasted just over 21 standard hours. (SWJ3, XWN, KT, BW, SWI64, FP, DN3)

Thyferran Aerosapce Defense Force
Formed in the wake of the Battle of Thyferra, the TADF was led by Bror Jace and trained by Rogue Squadron. They were missioned to protect the independent interests of Thyferra. (BW)

Thyferran Home Defense Corps
Created by Ysanne Isard during her reign on the plane Thyferra, the THDC was created to work in conjunction with the ground-based stormtroopers she used to defend the planet. Isard's plan was to allow the THDC to win a few battles with Ashern rebels, but then let them get in over their head in a large-scale battle. Then, Imperial troops could come in and save the day, making the Thyferrans realize that they were truly dependent on the Empire. (BW)

Thyfonian
This Lambda-class shuttle served as Fliry Vorru's personal transport while he worked for Ysanne Isard on Thyferra during the Bacta War. It was heavily modified, and had additional weapons emplacements and a hyperdrive. When the Battle of Thyferra went the way of Rogue Squadron, Isard tried to escape in it. However, the shuttle was shot down and destroyed by Tycho Celchu and Corran Horn. (BW)

Thykarann
This Wookiee dialect was much richer in technical vocabulary that the emotive Shyriiwook. (TT)

Thykele
This man was a member of the Darkknell Defense Agency, serving under Colonel Nyroska. (TFNR)

Thyne, Zekka
This near-human was known as Patches to the agents of the Corellian Security Force, for his pinkish colored skin was covered with blue splotches of color. He had red eyes with black, diamond-shaped pupils, pointed ears, and pointed, black teeth. Zekka Thyne was imprisoned at Kessel by Corran Horn and his father, Hal. There were rumors that Zekka Thyne was the heir-apparent to Prince Xizor's Black Sun empire, and that he had murdered a number of high-ranking Black Sun rivals to help pave that path. His imprisonment on Kessel, followed by Xizor's death just before the Battle of Endor, left Thyne without many possibilities. However, when Wedge Antilles and the New Republic began searching for a way to infiltrate Coruscant, they chose to release Thyne from Kessel and allow him to reactivate his old Black Sun contacts on the planet. Thyne was supposed to be under the watchful eye of Fliry Vorru, but he still managed to make contact with the Empire on Coruscant. He continually relayed information on the Rogues' activities until he was discovered by Corran Horn and Inyri Forge, his former lover and spice cutter. In Corran's attempt to escape, Inyri shot Thyne dead. (WG, TFE)

Thyrsian Sun Guard
An armored unit of ferocious warriors from the Thyrsus System, the Sun Guard was one of many military units that was active during the Clone Wars. The Sun Guard was believed to have been originally formed by Darth Sidious himself, as an army of individuals who lacked any sensitivity to the Force, but instrumental to the Sith Lord's plans for galactic domination. The armor that was worn by members of the Sun Guard was jet black in color, and was similar to the armor worn by the Senate Guard of the time. The elite members of the Sun Guard were given roles as bodyguards at Sidious' stronghold on Coruscant, protecting his true nature while Senator Palpatine moved about as his more public face. When Chancellor Valorum was ousted from power, it was rumored that the Sun Guard had a hand in assassinating key Senators in the days leading up to the vote that led to Palpatine's assumption of power. Despite their prowess, the Sun Guard did not survive the Clone Wars, after Count Dooku dispatched Asajj Ventress to eliminate them. Only those Sun Guards who were on Coruscant managed to survive, and eventually became the founding members of the Red Guard. (ISB, WOA34, OWS)

Thyss
This landing platform, formed in the wroshyr trees of Rwookrrorro, was where Jowdrrl and Dryanta worked on the Millennium Falcon while Chewbacca helped Lumpawarump with his Test of Ascension. (TT)

Thyssel
This bark of this tree, which was native only to Haruun Kal, was considered an exotic spice. Because the thyssel tree grew only on Haruun Kal, it was quite expensive. The native Korunnai often chewed the bark of the thyssel raw, as a kind of stimulant. Those individuals who chewed thyssel bark were easily distinguished by the scarlet-red color of their teeth. When properly roasted and refined, the bark was ground into a spice which provided a sharp taste that gave the eater a slight sensation of euphoria. When not fully refined and dried, thyssel bark retained enough moisture to be chewed as a stimulating intoxicant, about as potent as sweet wine. In its raw form, however, thyssel bark could cause permanent brain damage. (SHPT)

Thyswar
This was a common name among the S'kytri people. (UANT)

Thyte, Darryn
A member of the FarStar's crew, Thyte was distinguished by his cybernetic arm. He was a former Alliance starfighter pilot who had lost the arm when his X-Wing was shot down over Vaenrood. The only available prosthetic was a clunky, unwieldy device with little dexterity, forcing Darryn to relinquish his position as a pilot and join the ranks of the operations crew. This left him with a bad attitude and sour disposition, which turned to anger when he first met Ranna Gorjaye. He resented the fact that she was still flying, and boasting about how much fun she was having. However, during his tenure aboard the FarStar, he began to soften up toward Ranna. (DARK, KO, KR)

Ti
This was the Mando'a word for "with." (OWS)

Ti, Kirana
This Dathomirian Witch was a member of the Singing Mountain clan. It was Kirana Ti who met Han Solo and Leia Organa when they were on the planet battling against Warlord Zsinj, during the early years of the New Republic. After learning of the search for new Jedi Knights from Leia, Kirana decided to go to Yavin 4 and learn learn the ways of The Force under Luke Skywalker. She left her own husband and daughter behind on Dathomir, and made the journey to Yavin 4.

Kirana Ti later returned to Dathomir to help Luke recover a large portion of the computer records stored aboard the Chu'unthor on Dathomir, which added to his growing library of information and the old Jedi Order. Kirana Ti quickly grew into one the most experienced Jedi, and was part of the team dispatched to Corbos. There, with the help of Streen, Kyp Durron, and Dorsk 82, she defeated the Leviathan of Corbos. She worked with Streen after returning to Dathomir to establish a new praxeum on her homeworld, where Force-sensitive witches could learn how to put their powers to good use.

During the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Kirana Ti again returned to Dathomir, to help protect her people from the alien invaders. Ultimately, Kirana was one of the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. (DA, COTF, UF, EGF)

Ti, Sanola
This Force-sensitive, Dathormian woman joined the new Jedi Order during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. A skilled pilot, Sanola Ti was later added to the Red Sword Flight of pilots, during the height of the Galactic Alliance's war against The Confederation. Because she was the youngest member of the squadron, Sanola Ti flew as the wingman to the Jedi Grand Master, Luke Skywalker, during a mission to capture or eliminate Jacen Solo. She later flew as Rakehell Two on a mission to disable Centerpoint Station, but her fighter sustained large amounts of damage in the fighting. She was able to maintain control of the fighter and return to the Errant Venture. (LF7)

Ti, Shaak
A member of the Togruta race, Shaak Ti was a noted Jedi Master who was active during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. She was best-known for her independent spirit, which ran contrary to her Togruta upbringing. After attaining the rank of Jedi Master, Shaak Ti trained two Padawan learners on her homeworld of Shili, but both were killed by criminals shortly after the completion of the training. This led to many beings within the Jedi Order wondering whether she was acting as an instrument of the Force. Shaak Ti chose to work alone, despite the wishes and assistance of her fellow Masters.

Shaak Ti was one of the many Jedi Masters who were dispatched to Geonosis, along with Mace Windu, in an effort to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Separatists. Shortly afterward, Master Ti was assigned to the team that was dispatched to liberate the planet Brentaal from Separatist control. The mission forced Master Ti to confront the criminal known as Lyshaa, who had killed one of her former students, Fe Sun. Master Ti refused to be goaded by Lyshaa, and allowed the Zeltron to help her infiltrate Shogar Tok's chambers. Shaak Ti wasn't prepared for treachery from Lyshaa, however, and was shot by the Zeltron before she could arrest Shogar Tok. As Lyshaa tried to gain Tok's favor, neither party was aware that Master Ti was still alive. She slowed her metabolism down while focusing the Force to heal her injury.

As the rest of the team completed their missions to disable the fortress' defenses, Master Ti revived herself and confronted Shogar Tok. In a brief struggle, she was forced to kill him with her lightsaber. Lyshaa tried to escape, but was killed in a lightstorm chamber protecting Tok's office. With Brentaal freed from Separatist control, Master Ti was rescued and placed in a bacta tank to heal. Her recovery came just before the end of the Clone Wars, and she was assigned to the detail that kept a watchful eye on Chancellor Palpatine.

When General Grievous launched his final attack on Coruscant, Shaak Ti and her team rushed to the Chancellor's side. His stubborn nature frustrated the Jedi, and it was Shaak Ti herself who had to tackle Palpatine to the ground in order to protect him from fire. Unfortunately, Shaak Ti and her companions - Jedi Master Roron Corobb and Foul Moudama - were both killed in combat by Grievous. Palpatine was captured, and Shaak Ti was spared, but only so that she could report on her failure - and Grievous' strength - to the Jedi Council. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Master Ti remained on Coruscant. However, when Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, he sent Anakin Skywalker to eliminate any resistance in the Jedi Temple. It was believed that the young Sith Lord found Master Ti first, alone in her rooms, and killed her before she could defend herself. However, her body was never recovered, and rumors persisted of her surviving the Jedi Purge for many years.

It was later revealed that Shaak Ti had escaped from the death and destruction caused by Darth Vader and fled Coruscant, taking up exile on the remote planet of Felucia. There, she took on the training of the Zabrak woman known as Maris Brood, whose own Master had been killed while trying to return to Coruscant. When she recognized that the Starkiller had arrived on Felucia, Shaak Ti retreated to the Ancient Abyss, the site of a massive sarlacc that had established itself in the jungles of Felucia. She made her way into the maw of the creature to meditate, and it was here that the Starkiller first found her. He quickly dispatched her Felucian guards, then confronted her on the sarlacc's body.

Their battle raged for many minutes, until Shaak Ti believed she had found an opening in his defenses. She lunged in to drive her lightsaber into his face, only to discover that the Starkiller had brought his own blade up at the last moment. Rather than blocking her blow, however, the Starkiller's blade plunged into her chest. Shaak Ti died almost immediately, but found strength to rail against him and his Sith masters. (OWS, TCG1, VD2, SWDB, PJSB, J2, LEV, IS3, SWI87, SWI93, LAWS, TFUN)

ti Gardi, Slar-dan
This Twi'leki criminal was captured by New Republic patrol officer Dasha Fanron and imprisoned for a mere two months before being released. He later joined Borun Call and learned the slave trade. Gardi spent much of the rest of his career harassing New Republic agents in the field, selling any that he managed to capture into slavery. He was recognizable by his gaunt frame and blue-green skin tone. (SWJ8)

Tia
This young woman and her twin sister, Ghia, was eighteen when she found herself imprisoned by Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine. Tia and Ghia were natives of Bestine IV, and had joined the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Yavin, but only for the chance to meet Han Solo. After Solo was frozen in carbonite on Cloud City, the sisters defected from the Alliance and set out to rescue him from Jabba. Their military skills were lacking any form of organization, and the sisters were easily captured in Jabba's palace. As punishment, Jabba forced them to fight against other combatants in a series of demolition derby events, flying a modified T-47 airspeeder. (SWD)

Tiamat
This Alliance MC40a was active during the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Tiaran'grast Sling Course
This was the newest and most challenging sling racing course in the galaxy, established during the height of the New Order on the planet Bothawui. The site of the course was located forty kilometers south of Drev'starn, and the course itself was known as much for its raucous pre-race parties as it was the racing itself. (SPG)

Tiatha
This Jawa was legendary among his clan for his ability to salvage every usable piece of scrap from a wreck. Tiatha could also turn the husk of a starship into a veritable palace. (JKG)

Tiatkin
This was one of the many Twi'leki clans which were native to the planet Ryloth. In the Twi'leki language, the clan's name meant "creative". (GCG)

Tiatkin, Giza
This Twi'lek female and her droid partner were former pirates who agreed to help the New Republic hunt down criminals. She was part of the team assembled to locate the TIE Interceptor pirates who were striking at New Republic convoys from a base in the Abraxas System. She was recruited for her piloting skills, and her droid's navigational skills helped Lando's teams navigate the debris clogging the system. Unfortunately, Giza was shot and killed in the initial confrontation with the pirates. (T5)

T'iaz
One of the Emperor Palpatine's Dark Side warriors, T'iaz was part of the group that accompanied the dying Emperor to Korriban, in search of a way to halt the decay of his last clone body. He was severely wounded by Rayf Ysanna on Onderon, when Palpatine tried to steal the body of Anakin Skywalker. (EE)

Tib, Ishi
The name of one of Jabba the Hutt's henchman who was of the Ishi Tib race. (E6)

Tibanisphere
This was the term used to describe the layer of tibanna gas which existed on several gas giants throughout the galaxy. Because of its weight, the tibanna gas settled into an atmospheric layer whenever concentrations were great enough, creating the tibanisphere. (TAE)

Tibanna
This defense platform was positioned to defend Damorian Manufacturing's repair yards during the Galactic Civil War. (XWA)

Tibanna 300
This was one of the lesser-known podracing courses, active during the last decades of the Old Republic. Located on Tatooine, the Tibanna 300 was a circular course that traveled aroudn the rim of a long-dead volcano. (SOT)

Tibanna Club
Located on Cloud City, this was one of Bespin's most popular clubs during the height of the New Order. (GG9, OWS)

Tibanna Gas
This gas was sometimes found in the atmosphere of many gas giants. A highly-reactive gas, Tibanna gas was useful because it could produce large amounts of energy whenever coherent light passed through it. This meant that Tibanna gas could be used in blaster weapons to multiply the weapon's output. It also had certain anti-gravitional properties, and had exceptional properties as a hyperdrive coolant. The best Tibanna gas was compressed and spin-sealed, since this kind of Tibanna was four times as powerful as regular Tibanna. Spin-sealing required a great deal of energy to do artificially. Fortunately for many weapons manufacturers, the Tibanna gas found in the atmosphere of Bespin was naturally spin-sealed. Much of Bespin's tibanna gas was produced as a waste product by the beldons that inhabit the gas giant's Life Zone. Tibanna gas was used in weapons of all sizes, from hand-held blasters to the massive superlaser that was found aboard the first Death Star. (E5, E5A, GG2, ISU, TFUN)

Tibanna Split
This dessert dish was created by chefs who were working on Cloud City, in orbit around the planet Bespin. The dish was inspired by Ecclessis Figg and his efforts to make the floating city a viable operation. The dessert dish had three scoops of ice cream as its base, usually of different flavors. This ice cream was topped with atomically aerated cream, crushed nuts, fruit purees, and Ecclessis figs. Purists and upscale restauranteurs preferred to use Bespinian Best ice cream when making this dessert, to ensure that they were presenting a truly Cloud City-style dish. (OWS)

Tibanna Tapper
This was the term used to describe those pirates and smugglers who stole spin-sealed Tibanna gas from refineries in orbit around the planet Bespin, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Using specialized siphoning balloons, Tibanna tappers were able to bleed off processed gases from the refineries, using the cloud cover to hide their presence. These thieves were ostensibly tied to the activities of the Dark Nest, along with smugglers who acquired hyperdrive reactor rods and starship coolant for the Gorog. (DN2)

Tibanna Topper
see Tibanna Tapper (DN2)

TibannaX
This specially-formulated isotope of tibanna gas was produced by the Xtib corporation for Incom Industries, which was used in the starfighter's engine systems to limit the ion trails they emitted. (DN3)

Tibannopolis
A floating city located in close-orbit around Bespin, Tibannopolis once hoped to rival Cloud City in terms of gas mining as well as popularity. However, its inability to keep up on both fronts caused its inhabitants to slowly abandon it during the era of the Clone Wars. Tibannopolis was almost completely deserted after the Imperial occupation of Cloud City, but it was stragnely one of the few mining colonies that was never shut down when it failed to turn a profit. It was left floating in the clouds, and the industrious people of other colonies picked it clean of usable materials. The remainder of the hulk floated like a skeletal ghost town in the clouds. Before his potential was discovered by Luke Skywalker, Jedi Master Streen used Tibannopolis as a refuge while he was not prospecting Bespin's gases, during the years surrounding the Battle of Endor. (JS, ISU, GORW)

Tibeeme, Loa
This young Rodian was a noted slicer who managed to crack the corporate computer systems of Naescorcom's operations. She was not very careful in her activities, and she left a trail of her slicing activities throughout the Naescorcom computers. She was captured and forced to work as a laborer on the floating city of Ipsus, in the atmosphere of Genarius, as Naescorcom realized that they might need her slciing skills later on. (LFC)

Tibekk, Raim
This man was a member of the Coruscant police force during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. A dedicated officer who worked a beat in Coruscant's financial district, Tibekk once arrested a key operative of a major Hutt kajidic. This prompted the Hutts to issue a bounty for Tibekk's capture. Jango Fett claimed the bounty sometime later, when he apprehended by Tibekk and his fellow officers. Fett had just killed the Twi'lek Senator Trell, and Tibekk's gunship was the first to arrive on the scene. Fett managed to disable the gunship and take control of the police officers who survived.

Tibrin
The homeworld of the Ishi Tib race, Tibrin was an oceanic world orbiting the yellow star Cal, located in the Mid Rim. Because of its perpendicular axial tilt and nearly-circular orbit, as well as the regular tidal forces exerted on the planet, Tibrin was a temperate world that experienced very little temperature variation. The planet's ocean currents conducted warmth from the inner core to the surface, bringing heat to all parts of the planetary ocean. The only land masses were coral reefs and sand bars, and the Ishi Tib built their ecologically-friendly cities there. Tibrin was one of many worlds which were caught up in the fighting of the Clone Wars, although damage to the ecosystem proved to be minimal. (GG4, LEV, NEGA)

Tibrin Exotic Armaments
This was the Basic name for Tibrin Kish'nol. (GFT)

Tibrin Kish'nol
This Ishi Tib corporation exported a variety of native technologies to the rest of the galaxy, during the height of the New Order. (GFT)

Tibro
A planet. (WBC)

Tice, Haelon
There was virtually no information on this man's history, a fact many attribute to the computer manipulation of his employer, Yin Vocta. Tice himself was employed by Vocta as a bodyguard and assassin, and was known to the criminal underworld as a ruthless and brutal killer. His muscular body was a combination of flesh and machine, having augmented his natural abilities with a number of cybernetic replacements. His left eye was synthetic, and glowed a bright violet at all times. Tice's manner was best described as loud and obnoxious, in stark contrast to that of his partner, R'Kayza. (WSV)

Tic'Karcta, Phean

Tick-list
This was a program that could be run on a standard datapad, to help a being keep track of a list of tasks and their status. (CWNOP)

Tick-over
This was the term used by starship pilots and owners to describe a systems setting in which all shipboard systems were turned on but otherwise inactive. This allowed the pilot to assess the condition of most, if not all, of the systems without having to take the ship out into space. This also allowed the starship to be used as a living space, when parked at a spaceport. (LF2)

Ticktil
This word was used in the Elrood Sector to describe any alien species, such as the Bilars, which were deemed "too cute to live." (PG3)

Ti-Dal
This Cerean was well-respected on his homeworld of Cerea. (SWRPG)

Tidal Breathing
This was one of the many relaxation techniques developed by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. By concentrating on exhaling deeply, relaxing and drawing a deep breath, then repeating the actions, a Jedi could shed mental burdens and reach a deeper, more receptive state of mind. This allowed them to make an intense connection to the Force, becoming a conduit for its power. (MBS)

Tide of Progress XII
This Munificent-class star frigate was constructed for the Confederacy of Independent Systems at a space station located half-way between the edge of the galaxy and its nearest dwarf satellite galaxy, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Tide of Progress XII was one of the many Separatist warships deployed to support General Grievous' forces during the First Battle of Coruscant. (X3)

TIE
This was an acronym used to describe Sienar Fleet Systems' Twin Ion Engine system. (SCRE, SWSB, EGV)

• Quadanium Steel Armored Solar Panels

Vader flew a prototype TIE/Ad in the Battle of Yavin, and following the loss of the Death Star, he worked with Seinar Fleet Systems to refine it. Initial upgrades included solar strakes that were mounted on the outer surface of each wing, which added strength and additional capability for gathering solar power. Although this upgraded version never saw production, many of the upgrades and improvements that went into the development of the TIE Advanced were incorporated into designs for the TIE Interceptor and TIE Defender. Note that this vessel was referred to as the TIE Avenger in The Stele Chronicles. (E4, XW, TSC, SWGAL)

TIE Advanced x1
The original series of prototypes for the TIE Advanced, the x1 was the most successful of the TIE prototypes built by Sienar Fleet Systems, and although it did not make it to production, many of its advancements did. The x1 had a custom-built fuselage which features enhanced armor plating, and expanded rear deck, and matching bent wings. It wasn't as maneuverable as the other TIE Fighter designs, but speed was slightly faster. Like most TIE ships, the x1 lacked a life-support system, but it did have modest shield generators and a hyperdrive. The x1 saw limited production. Darth Vader received one of the first x1 ships, while others went to elite squadrons for testing. SFS could not bring the fighter's cost down, so the Empire opted not to purchase the x1 in quantity. Instead, the Empire chose the TIE Interceptor, which incorporated many of the x1's advances but on the basis TIE Fighter frame and at a much cheaper cost. In the decades after the fall of the Empire at Endor and the negotiation of peace between the New Republic and the Imperial remnants, these ships were decommissioned. Lando Calrissian picked up a number of them for use in the Lando's Folly asteroid field. (CCG, VP)

TIE Advanced x7
This prototype TIE Fighter was one of the last designs produced by Sienar Fleet Systems before the Battle of Endor. Originally developed on Corulag, the x7 measured 9.2 meters in length, and was equipped with a hyperdrive. It was also armed with four laser cannons. The x7 eventually served as the design basis for the TIE Defender. (CCW)

TIE Aggressor
This experimental variant of the Imperial TIE Fighter was derived from the TIE Advanced x1, and was produced by Santhe/Sienar Technologies.. The wings of the TIE Aggressor were bent at the front, but tapered down to a single panel at the rear. The rear deck of the TIE Advanced was reduced in width to save weight, but provided the ship with enhanced maneuverability. A pair of chin-mounted laser cannons complimented two missile launchers, and a gun turret was mounted at the rear, giving the TIE Aggressor more firepower than its predecessor. Military experts categorized the TIE Aggressor as neither a fighter nor a bomber, but rather something in between that could accomplish the mission profiles of either type of vessel. (LAWS, SWGAL)

TIE Avenger
Known as the TIE/Ad, this version of the TIE Fighter was based on the TIE Advanced x1 prototype, and was the precursor to the TIE Interceptor. The Avenger's wings were bent inward at the top and bottom, and the wing supports were strengthened with fins attached to the hull. The armament and shielding was virtually the same as the TIE Advanced x1, with pair of L-s9.3 laser cannons or a pair of warhead launchers giving the fighter its punch. The TIE Avenger also reused the I-s3a ionization reactor and two P-sx7.4 ion engines for propulsion. It also had deflector shields and a hyperdrive, which significantly added to its cost. Because of this, it was quickly phased out of production and replaced with the TIE Interceptor. Note that The Stele Chronicles indicates that the TIE Avenger was simply a nickname for the TIE Advanced, and was produced after the introduction of the TIE Interceptor. (TIE, CCG4, SWDB, TSC, TIEP)

TIE Bomber
Built by Seinar Fleet Systems, this version of the TIE fighter was a double-hulled bomber ship with bent wings for increased stability. Officially designated as the TIE/sa, the TIE Bomber measured 7.8 meters in length. Like other TIE Fighter variants, the TIE Bomber was a single-pilot craft, and could make 80 MGLT at sublight speeds. It was designed for surgical strikes against ground and deep-space targets.

In general, the TIE Bomber suffered in maneuverability due to its double-hulled configuration, but when complemented by TIE Fighters or TIE Interceptors, it made a lethal combination.

These ships were equipped with enhanced targetting capability, making them more accurate than many capital ships. Unlike other ships in the TIE series, the TIE Bomber was equipped with an emergency ejection system for the pilot, as well as a life-support system in the cockpit. However, most pilots continued to wear the full envinroment suit of a TIE Fighter pilot, as much out of habit as for emergency back-up. There was cargo space aboard the TIE Bomber for 15 metrics tons of cargo, but this space dedicated for carrying warheads and other projectile weapons.

The standard TIE Bomber boasted the following shipboard systems:

• Seinar Fleet Systems P-s4 Twin Ion Engines
• Seinar Fleet Systems N-s4 NavCom Unit
• 2 Seinar Fleet Systems L-s1 Laser Cannons
• Seinar Fleet Systems M-s3 Concussion Missile Launchers (2 racks of 4)
• Seinar Fleet Systems I-a2b Solar Ionization Reactor
• Seinar Fleet Systems F-s3.2 Avionics Control
• Seinar Fleet Systems T-s7b Targeting Computer
• Seinar Fleet Systems T-s5 Proton Torpedo Launchers (2 racks of 2)
• Titanium Alloy Hull (rated at 50 RU)
• Quadanium Steel Armored Solar Panels

Despite their slow speeds and impaired maneuverability, the TIE Bomber eventually evolved into the Scimitar assault bomber. (E5, SCRE, EGV, CCS, SSOG)

TIE Bomber Mark 2
This proposed update to the Imperial TIE Bomber was developed by Captain Tomax Bren, and included the addition of shielding and armor plating. (SWJ15)

TIE Company, The
This was a common nickname that was used to describe Sienar Fleer Systems, during the height of the New Order. (CCS)

TIE Crawler
This was another name for the TIE Tank. (DE1)

TIE Defender
An advanced form of TIE Fighter developed in secrecy by the Imperial Navy, the TIE Defender was produced as a response to the success of the Alliance's starfighter pilots. This 10-meter starfighter, known as the TIE/D, took the stability and agility of the TIE Interceptor's bent-wing design and added a third bent-wing to it. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels indicates that the TIE Defender measured just 6.6 meters in length. Not much was known about the TIE/D, as it was never fully accepted in battle and never mass-produced. It was thought to have had a maximum speed of 155 MGLT, with 4 L-s9.3 laser cannons, 2 NK-3 ion cannons, 2 M-g-2 warhead launchers, 200 SBD shields, and a 20 RU hull. The fighter was propelled by the newer P-sz9.7 twin ion engines from Sienar Fleet Systems, which gave the ship atmospheric speeds of 1,680 kilometers per hour, and was equipped with Novaldex shield generators. The TIE Defender was used to defeat Admiral Zaarin, although the missions were so secret that very few Imperial officials were unaware of its role. The TIE Defender was produced at a cost of over 300,000 credits per fighter, about five times the cost of a TIE/ln. This, plus the political upheaval created by the Battle of Endor and the fact that it had an aft blindspot created by the wing placement, led to the demise of the TIE Defender as a widely-accepted starfighter. Its only known deployment during the Galactic Civil War was as part of Onyx Squadron during the Battle of Endor, but the TIE Defender design was later adopted by the Imperial Remnant as one of its primary starfighters. (TIE, EGV, CCG9, SWDB, NEGV, FH1)

TIE Deluxe

TIE Elite Mark 1
This mid-grade starship weapons capacitor system was developed and produced for use on Imperial TIE Fighters, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

TIE Elite Mark 2
This high-grade starship weapons capacitor system was developed and produced for used on Imperial TIE Fighters, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

TIE Experimental M1
This was the designation of the first of five experimental starfighters produced by Sienar Fleet Systems during the height of the New Order. Built from the standard TIE Fighter platform, the TIE Experimental designs took advantage of improvements to engines and drive systems, weapons, and other starfighter technologis to develop faster, stronger war ships. Because these designs were largely untested, each prototype was remotely controlled by a trained test pilot who monitored the fighter's actions from an escort transport vessel. (WOTC)

TIE Experimental M2
This was the designation of the first of five experimental starfighters produced by Sienar Fleet Systems during the height of the New Order. Built from the standard TIE Fighter platform, the TIE Experimental designs took advantage of improvements to engines and drive systems, weapons, and other starfighter technologis to develop faster, stronger war ships. Because these designs were largely untested, each prototype was remotely controlled by a trained test pilot who monitored the fighter's actions from an escort transport vessel. The TIE Experimental M2 was produced to test the use of turbolaser cannons as the starfighter's primary weaponry. (WOTC)

TIE Experimental M3
This was the designation of the first of five experimental starfighters produced by Sienar Fleet Systems during the height of the New Order. Built from the standard TIE Fighter platform, the TIE Experimental designs took advantage of improvements to engines and drive systems, weapons, and other starfighter technologis to develop faster, stronger war ships. Because these designs were largely untested, each prototype was remotely controlled by a trained test pilot who monitored the fighter's actions from an escort transport vessel. The TIE Experimental M3 was produced to test various projectile weapons systems, including concussion missile launchers. (WOTC)

TIE Experimental M4
This was the designation of the first of five experimental starfighters produced by Sienar Fleet Systems during the height of the New Order. Built from the standard TIE Fighter platform, the TIE Experimental designs took advantage of improvements to engines and drive systems, weapons, and other starfighter technologis to develop faster, stronger war ships. Because these designs were largely untested, each prototype was remotely controlled by a trained test pilot who monitored the fighter's actions from an escort transport vessel. (WOTC)

TIE Experimental M5
This was the designation of the first of five experimental starfighters produced by Sienar Fleet Systems during the height of the New Order. Built from the standard TIE Fighter platform, the TIE Experimental designs took advantage of improvements to engines and drive systems, weapons, and other starfighter technologis to develop faster, stronger war ships. Because these designs were largely untested, each prototype was remotely controlled by a trained test pilot who monitored the fighter's actions from an escort transport vessel. (WOTC)

TIE Experimental Project
This division of Sienar Fleet Systems was created to identify ways in which the TIE Fighter line of vessels could be improved to make them stronger, faster, and more useful as combat ships. This team produced five prototypes, identified as TIE Experimental M1 through M5, for consideration by corporate leaders and Imperial military officers. (WOTC)

TIE Fighter
Sometimes called the TIE/ln starfighter, this was the first flat-winged, single-pilot TIE ship developed by Seinar Fleet Systems, and the basis for all other TIE ships. It was 6.3 meters in length, and could achieve 100 MGLT at sublight speeds. The standard TIE Fighter could also attain speeds of 1,200 kilometers per hour in an atmosphere. All of the propulsion required by the TIE Fighter was produced by its signature Twin Ion Engines. Sienar's designers chose not to install repulsors of any kind, shedding their weight and using the additional power for weapons systems. This meant that TIE Fighters were carried on starships in specialized racks, and were moved into position just before launch, when the pilot ignited the Twin Ion Engines and sped away. Like all TIE ships, the TIE/ln had a titanium alloy hull and quadanium steel armored solar panels. All visual information on TIE Fighters shows that they have six-sided solar panels, although X-Wing: The Bacta War indicates that they were octagonal. Also, like other TIE ships, it was built exclusively from Seinar Fleet Systems components, and lacks primary life support systems. It was a short-range starfighter, requiring a nearby base of operations from which to obtain fuel and guidance. It also boasts the following shipboard systems: Seinar Fleet Systems T-s8 Targeting Computer, Seinar Fleet Systems I-a2b Solar Ionization Reactor, Seinar Fleet Systems N-s6 NavCom Unit, Seinar Fleet Systems P-s4 Twin Ion Engines, Seinar Fleet Systems F-s3.2 Avionics Control, 2 Seinar Fleet Systems P-w401 Ion Maneuvering Jets, 2 Seinar Fleet Systems L-s1 Laser Cannons, Titanium Alloy Hull (rated at 15 RU) ,Quadanium Steel Armored Solar Panels. (E4, SCRE, SWSB, EGV, LSSM)

TIE Fighter
A game found in the databanks of the computer program called Systems Integration Manager aboard the Star of Empire. The player took the persona of a downed TIE Fighter pilot who had to escape from Alliance forces before being captured. In order to escape, the pilot had to enter the correct access code to repair his ship. (GOF10)

TIE Fighter Boat
This was a form of aquatic military vessel developed by the Empire, based on the standard TIE/ln starfighter. (BGS)

TIE Hunter
This variant on the Imperial TIE Fighter was created at a hidden base near Destrillion, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Its unusual design incorporated S-foils, similar to those used on the Incom T-65 X-Wing, to position the trademark solar panels. In addition to the standard laser cannons, the TIE Hunter also was armed with ion cannons, and could be upgraded to use concussion missile launchers. Like most TIE designs, the TIE Hunter lacked shields, but could be upgraded to support them. Before the TIE Hunter could be put into production, three prototypes were stolen by Wedge Antilles. These were used in a raid on the Imperial shipyards at Fondor, where the TIE Hunter proved it could be a formidable craft after Antilles and Rogue Squadron were able to destroy a Star Destroyer that was under construction. Because of the events surrounding the Battle of Endor, however, the TIE Hunter never went into full production. (RSG3)

TIE Interceptor
This variant on the successful TIE Fighter designs of Seinar Fleet Systems was produced in an effort to counteract the speed and maneuverability of the X-Wing and A-Wing starfighters that were used by the Alliance. Taking cues from the TIE Advanced fighter that was prototyped by Darth Vader himself, the TIE Interceptor was a single-pilot craft with the distinctive bent-wing design. These wings were longer in front than behind, and although the forward sections of each wing was cut out at the front for better visibility. This wing structure provided more than just improved visibility. They provided better maneuverability and better energy-collection systems. The TIE Interceptor measured 9.6 meters in length, and could achieve 110 MGLT at sublight speeds. These fighters were clocked at 1,250 kilometers per hour in atmospheric conditions. Each TIE Interceptor boasted the following shipboard systems:

• Titanium Alloy Hull (rated at 20 RU)
• Quadanium Steel Armored Solar Panels
• Seinar Fleet Systems I-a3b Solar Ionization Reactor
• Seinar Fleet Systems S-c4.1 Multi-range Tracking Array Grid
• Seinar Fleet Systems F-s4 Avionics Control
• Seinar Fleet Systems T-s9a Targeting Computer
• Seinar Fleet Systems P-s5.6 Twin Ion Engines
• Seinar Fleet Systems N-s6 NavCom Unit
• 4 Seinar Fleet Systems L-s9.3 Laser Cannons

A specially-modifed variant of the TIE Interceptor was created for use by the Royal Imperial Guards, and sported a crimson paint scheme to clearly identify it. (E6, SCRE, SWSB, XW, SWGAL)

TIE Lander
This troop transport vessel was built by Sienar Fleet Systems, and was based on the design of the TIE Fighter. It had a triple hull, which gave it the ability to deploy a stormtrooper company into virtually any environment. (IWST)

TIE Light Duty Fighter
This was a less-powerful version of the standard Imperial TIE Fighter, developed to train pilots in the operation of the fighter, without having to take combat-ready fighters out of commission. Many of the systems on the Light Duty version were reduced in power and capability, so that rookie pilots didn't get into trouble trying to learn on a full-powered version. (SWGAL, SWG2P)

TIE Mauler
This ground-based variant of the Imperial TIE Fighter was considered to be the predecessor to the TIE Crawler. Officially designated the TIE ap-1, the 6.7-meter-long TIE Mauler was little more than the cockpit of a standard TIE/ln mounted to a pair of massive treads. In keeping with the design philosophy behind the TIE Fighters, Santhe/Sienar Technologies created the TIE Mauler as a swift, manueverable vehicle that used its speed to compensate for its lack of defenses. In order to keep vehicle weight down, the TIE Mauler was not given any updates to its basic armor plating. However, it was armed with three laser cannons and a self-destruct mechanism, making it a deadly addition to the ground forces of the Imperial war machine. The nickname TIE Mauler was coined when it was first seen in combat, and the troopers who were piloting them used the main weapons systems to eliminate obvious points of resistance, before simply running over rebel troops with the vehicle's treads. (LAWS, SWDB)

TIE Mod Team
This group of starfighter designers worked for Sienar Fleet Systems, and was responsible for developing new and improved versions of the standard TIE Fighter. Among the ships developed by the TIE Mod Team was the TIE/x2, which was to become the design basis for the TIE/x3. (SWJ5, OWS)

TIE Oppressor
This unusual variant of the Imperial TIE Fighter was designed to bridge the gap between the TIE Bomber and the TIE Interceptor. The elongated, bent wings of the TIE Advanced were reused on the TIE Oppressor to provide stability, while a third wing was mounted horizontally at the rear. The TIE Oppressor was designed to handle heavier weaponry than other TIE Fighters, effectively making it a light bomber, and was equipped with upgraded armor and shielding that allowed pilots to enter heavy combat zones. The onboard solar-energy collection system was also upgraded, in an effort to handle the power needs of the TIE Oppressor's weapons systems. These upgrades, while making the TIE Oppressor a stronger ship, greatly reduced the space set aside for engines and power generators, resulting in a fighter that had mediocre speed and maneuverability. Thus, TIE Oppressors were produced in limited numbers, and assigned to veteran pilots who understood how best to take advantage of its upgrades. (LAWS, SWGAL, WOTC)

TIE Phantom
see V38 (LAWS)

TIE Raptor
This was the name of a droid-operated TIE Interceptor developed by Warlord Zsinj, during his battle against the New Republic. They first saw duty with the false 181st Fighter Group Zsinj assembled, in hopes ot drawing out Rogue Squadron. The droid fighters were paired with human-piloted Interceptors, a combination which allowed the humans to lead and the droids to follow in their wake, making up for any piloting mistakes the humans made. They would have found more widespread usage if they weren't soundly defeated in dogfights during the Battle of Selaggis. Resembling the normal TIE Fighter cockpit, but with four wings mounted directly to the cockpit, the TIE/rpt was eventually modified for flight by a living pilot, shortly before Zsinj's destruction at Dathomir. The TIE/rpt lacked shields, although this deficiency was being addressed at the time of Zsinj's demise. Each TIE Raptor was armed with four laser cannons, mounted on the wings, and a pair of concussion missile tubes mounted just below the cockpit. Despite the striking similarity between the TIE Raptor and the basic TIE Fighter, Seinar Fleet Systems was not responsible for its design or manufacture. (SOC, CTD)

TIE Reconnaissance Fighter
This prototype starfighter was developed by Sienar Fleet Systems for the naval forces of the Galactic Alliance, during the years following the Swarm War. Developed as an alternative to - or as a rival of - the StealthX fighter from Incom, the TIE Reconnaissance Fighter was built from the original designs of the TIE Bomber. The portside fuselage of the TIE Bomber was refitted to carry a new hyperdrive system, enhanced navigation computers, life-support systems, shield generators, and electronic countermeasures. This collection of systems earned the TIE Reconnaissance Fighter the nickname Blur, since it could literally disappear like a blur from sensor systems.

The first working prototype was assigned to the flagship Star Destroyer Anakin Solo, during the height of the Galactic Alliance's war against The Confederation. It was given a simple, black paint job, with only the GA's symbols on its wings to identify it. The prototype was first tested by Captain Olavey, although Jacen Solo later flew the fighter during his escape from a long-distance assassination attempt by Sadras Koyan. (LF7)

TIE Scout
This limited-production model of Sienar Fleet Systems' TIE Fighter, known as the TIE/sr, combined the design attributes of the TIE Advanced and the TIE Interceptor, to create a vessel that could be sent on long-range reconnaissance missions. Unlike the TIE Interceptor, the severely-canted wings of the TIE Scout had two planes instead of three, with the upper section bent inward more than the lower section. These ships, designed to scout for pirate and rebel activity, were packed with long-range sensors and communications arrays. They were lightly armored and armed, to allow for the additional equipment and supplies necessary for long-range missions. A Class Two hyperdrive allowed for deep-space travel, but it also meant that the lightly-armed ship was often beyond immediate assistance from the Imperial Navy. Thus, many TIE/sr ships were lost on missions without any knowledge of their location. This fact, coupled with the expense of building new TIE/sr, eventually led to the mothballing of the ship in favor of more direct forms of reconnaissance. The designs for the vessel were retooled by Santhe/Sienar Technologies to create a civilian version of the ship, which became known as the Lone Scout-A. (CCG, SWDB)

TIE Ships
This was the name given to the various twin ion engine attack attack fighters that were used as defensive guard ships around larger warships, such as Star Destroyers. Each was a single-pilot ship that lacked a hyperdrive and life support system, due to their small size and expendability. The wings were covered with solar panels for collecting energy that could be transferred to the engines. Originally designed by Republic Seinar Systems, these fighters were not built until the Empire assumed control of the galaxy, and RSS became Seinar Fleet Systems. There were many different variations of the basic TIE design, each built for unique purposes. (E4, E5, SCRE)

TIE Shuttle
see TIE/sh (SWDB)

TIE Subfighter
This form of TIE Fighter was a smaller version of the original, and was armed with a concussion missile launcher and a single blaster cannon. (SWJ9)

TIE Tank
A ground assault vehicle modeled after the TIE starfighter, this vehicle was properly called the Century Tank, although its resemblance to the TIE Fighter earned it its other names of TIE Tank and TIE Crawler. This ground vehicle was the first craft designed and built by the Seinar Army Systems division of the Santhe/Seinar Technologies group, during the period following the Battle of Endor. The 6.7-meter craft was essentially the cockpit of a TIE Fighter linked to a pair of outboard treads, armed with a light turbolaser and two medium blaster cannons. It was designed to be a cheap, mass-produced ground combat vehicle. Twin Santhe SSct power generators supplied energy to the treads, but were only strong enough to move the tank at 90 kilometers an hour. They were easily repaired because most of their systems were basic in design to cut down on production costs. Disabled or damaged TIE Tanks could be quickly repaired in most situations, and abandoned Tanks were often scavenged for parts. (DE1, DESB, EGV, SWDB)

TIE Vanguard
This reconnaissance fighter was deployed to gather information of enemy starship movements before engaging the fleet in battle. Built from the basic TIE/rc design, the Vanguard's solar collectors were smaller on the top half than on the bottom. The top part was also bent slightly outward. The central ball of the strafighter was equipped with enhanced communications equipment. (CCG2, SWDB)

TIE/Ad
see TIE Avenger (TSC)

TIE/D
Pilotless TIE/droid unit fighters run by onboard droids, designed by Arndall Lott following the Battle of Endor. Lott used the Katana fleet as an inspiration, seeing that the automated systems could work if implemented correctly. Lott originally automated the AT-AT, but his early work suffered from lack of computer power. The TIE/D had received the best automation the Empire could afford, and could be used as independent fighters or computer-slaved squadrons. However, the initial TIE/Ds were not very powerful, and were only effective in large numbers. The TIE/D measured 6.1 meters, and resemble the center section of a TIE Fighter with squared-off TIE Interceptor-like wings which were flat and tilted. The TIE/D was armed with a pair of laser cannons, and lacked a hyperdrive. A Cybot Galactica Ace-6 combat droid brain served as the heart of the ship, but was shown to be greatly inferior to human pilots. The TIE/D, although produced in large volumes in an attempt to overwhelm New Republic starfighters, was primarily produced by the nuclear furnaces and factories of World Devastators. When these were destroyed over Calamari, the primary sources of the TIE/Ds were eliminated. (DE1, DESB, EGV, SWDB)

TIE/fc
This specially-equipped TIE fighter developed to relay targeting and fire control information back to the capital ships of a main fleet. The TIE/fc measured 6.3 meters in length and was armed with a single laser cannon. In addition to augmenting the targeting abilities of capital ships, the TIE/fc proved valuable in assisting the targeting of TIE Fighters. (SWSB, SWJ10, SWDB, TSC)

TIE/gt
This specially-equipped TIE fighter was developed to carry bombs and torpedoes to support ground troops. It was the predecessor to the TIE Bomber, but was a bit more maneuverable. Based on the standard TIE/ln, it measured 6.3 meters in length and was armed with a single laser cannon and a concussion missile launcher. Although large targets were easily locked by the TIE/gt's computers, it more often worked in concert with a TIE/fc to ensure pinpoint accuracy. The cockpit of the TIE/gt was reinforced and elongated to allow for its payloads, which could include twelve concussion missiles, six proton torpedoes, two cluster bombs, or eighteen mines. Among the more unusual missions of the TIE/gt was the deployment of propaganda leaflets. The name referred to its ground targetting ability. (SWSB, SWJ10, SWJ15, SWDB, TSC)

TIE/In
This was the official designation of the TIE Interceptor. (TSC)

TIE/ln
see TIE Fighter. Note that Star Wars Galaxies indicates that the TIE/ln was an upgrade from the basic TIE Fighter design, with several small changes that allowed the TIE/ln to carry a slightly heavier load of weaponry and avionics. The TIE/ln could be visually differentiated from its predecessor by its slightly darker color. (SWSB, SWGAL)

TIE/rc
This model of specially-equipped TIE fighter employed sophisticated sensors and long-range communications equipment, and was developed for reconnaissance. Because of the additional power and space requirements of this equipment, the TIE/rc was armed with a single laser cannon. A specialized variant of this craft was known as the TIE Vanguard. (SWSB, SWJ10, SWDB, TSC)

TIE/rc Vanguard

TIE/rpt
This was the designation of the TIE Raptor starfighter developed by Warlord Zsinj. (CTD)

TIE/sa
This was the official designation of the TIE Bomber. (SSOG)

TIE/sh
This was the designation of a version of the standard Imperial TIE Fighter which was equipped to shuttle small numbers of personnel between ground-based operations to orbital craft. It was an alternative to the expensive Lambda-class shuttles, which were generally reserved for high-ranking officials. The TIE/sh could be built for less, and could be deployed to line officers who were at or near battlelines. At 7.8 meters in length, and equipped with a double hull to accommodate its passegers, the TIE/sh was the design basis for the TIE Bomber. Although not meant for combat, the TIE/sh was armed with a single laser cannon. The ship could also be used to transport up to a metric ton of cargo. (SWJ10, SWDB)

TIE/sr
This was the official designation of the TIE Scout, produced by Sienar Fleet Systems during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (CCG, SWDB)

TIE/x1
This was the model designation of the TIE Advanced x1 starfighter. (SWJ5)

TIE/x2
This was the follow-on version of the TIE Advanced x1 starfighter. Like its predecessor, the TIE/x2 was equipped with a hyperdrive. Also like the x2, the x2 was a prorotype design which was never destined for mass production. It was believed that the TIE/x3 would be the production model in this series. Thirty-two TIE/x2 ships were produced and tested over a period of some nine months at Sienar Fleet Systems facilities on Lianna, and were flown by some of the Imperial Navy's best pilots, in order to test out its capabilities and define the parameters for developing the TIE/x3. (SWJ5, OWS)

TIE/x3
This was the model number of Sienar Fleet Systems' production-ready version of the original TIE Advanced x1 starfighter. It was given faster sublight engines, larger solar panels, and enhanced combat systems. However, unlike both the TIE/x1 and TIE/x2 versions, the TIE/x3 lacked a hyperdrive. After the TIE/x2 spent nine months in testing, it was believed that the TIE/c3 could be ready for mass-production in just sixteen months. It was unclear what became of the plans for the TIE/x3. (SWJ5, OWS)

Tier
This Imperial officer accompanied Thrawn to S'krrr, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Tier and his peer officer, Wolver, were killed in attacks from drog beetles. (GOF8)

Tiercan Dam
This immense, durasteel dam was erected on the planet Duro several centuries before the surface of the planet was scoured by toxic wastes. Measuring 780 meters in height and spanning two full kilometers, Tiercan Dam was visible for miles around. In the wake of the ecological disaster that destroyed Duro's ecosystem, the Empire stripped Tiercan Dam for its durasteel, leaving only the main exostructure. (GMR2)

Tierce, Grodin
This former Imperial stromtrooper and Royal Guard served under Moff Disra, during the early years of the New Republic. Tierce managed to survive the destruction of the second Death Star by the simple fact that he was not there, having been rotated out of active duty as Royal Guardsman at the time. He later served as one of Grand Admiral Thrawn's stromtroopers aboard the Chimaera, but didn't anticipate that Rukh was actually capable of killing Thrawn. Tierce's unit, upon hearing of Thrawn's death, intercepted and executed Rukh. A cold, calculating man, Tierce was drawn into Disra own plans for the remnants of the Empire as he was furthering his own schemes. Serving as a Naval Major, Tierce tried to remain a minor aide to Disra, but felt that the old man was getting in his way. He took control of the military aspects of their plans after Disra introduced Flim as a reborn Thrawn. Tierce recognized the short-comings of Flim's performance, and had Thrawn's genetic records altered to match Flim's. He then cut off Disra's supply of clones to Zothip and the Cavrilhu Pirates, making it clear to Disra that the Empire would need them more than the pirates. He claimed that he was only trying to avenge the death of Palpatine. He also learned that Thrawn had set up a number of sleeper cells on Republic worlds, and worked to activate them in an effort to garner more troops. Tierce also hired the Vengeance group to begin a series of ritos which, on the surface, were the result of the Caamas Incident. His work with Disra and Flim was cut short when Admiral Pellaeon discovered that Tierce was, in fact, a clone of the original Grodin Tierce. The history files in the Imperial Records Library noted that Tierce died in the assault on Generis while serving under the original Thrawn, ten years before the Caamas Incident. Thrawn created the clone himself, using Tierce's fierce loyalty and soldier acumen and merging it with much of Thrawn's own intellect and cunning. The hope was that this new regime of clones would supplant the Imperial warlords and take control of the Empire. Pellaeon discovered that Tierce was created just two months prior to Thrawn's death, but the experiement was cut short when Thrawn realized that he had not created a leader, just a tactically brilliant stormtrooper. Tierce was the first - and last - of his line. Upon hearing of this, Shada D'ukal - who had accompanied Pellaeon - killed Tierce with one of her zenji needles. (SOP, VOF, NECH)

Tierell
The people of this planet were struggling with a repressive government when a coup occurred some five years after the Battle of Naboo. A small group of mercenaries was called in to force the leader of the government to step down, and he was eventually assassinated. Anakin Skywalker later learned that the mercenary group had been led by Gillam Tarturi, and was made up of students from the Leadership School on Andara. Marit Dice was actually the individual who shot the leader, although she claimed that he shot was in self-defense, fired during a blaster fight with security forces. Gillam claimed that the outcome was even better than forcing the leader out of power, and commended Marit for her actions. Marit, however, refused to pick up a firearm afterward, making her presence on the mercenary team expendible. (JQ5)

Tieress
This was the title used by the consort of the Satab of the planet Ventooine. (LTA5, MCA2)

Tierfon
This planet, located in the Sumitra Sector, housed a secret Alliance fighter base during the Galactic Civil War. The Alliance used this base to patrol the Sumitra Sector and to provide escorts for secret convoys. Located on a steep cliff face overlooking a deep valley, the Alliance had perfect views for miles around. They dug deep into the rock, and built maintenance and refueling sites for convoy ships. The base was guarded by defensive lasers and the X-Wings based there, but had little other defenses. The base was run by 12 command personnel, and maintained 18 pilots and 54 ground troops. 74 support and technical staff were also stationed there. The base supported 5 airspeeders, 2 landspeeders, 4 speeder bikes, and 8 X-Wing starfighters. An MD-1 and an MD-2 droid provided medical support. Tierfon base was the base for the famous Yellow Aces Squadron. (SWSB, MTS, OWS)

This range of mountains was located on the planet Ambria, near the Meditative Canyon. These mountains were found on the planet's north central continent, just above the equator. The weather patterns near the Tiernvael Mountains were greatly affected by Ambria's rings, and sudden storms and long droughts were not uncommon. (PJSB)

Tiethiagg

Tigellinus, Rufaan
This commander of the Star Destroyer Avatar, this Imperial Grand Admiral was inducted into Coruscant's Order of the Canted Circle during the height of the New Order. Tigellinus' admission into the exclusive order was somewhat unusual, because his involvement with the Order was minimal when compared to other important dignitaries. His rapid admission was attributed to his politcal savvy and connections to Emperor Palpatine, most notably his relationship with Alec Pradeux. His admission was also unusual in that it came during a period of rapid growth for the Order: Tigellinus was the thirteenth new member in seven years. Emperor Palpatine himself assigned Tigellinus to investigate the incredible growth of Moff Jerrod Maclain's personal wealth, shortly before the Battle of Hoth. It was rumored that Maclain was obtaining insider trading information from the Dajaal family, in return for political favors and tax breaks. Tigellinus was a strong supporter of Moff Disra, even when the Moff was out of favor with the Emperor. Later, when Emperor Palpatine made Thrawn the newest Grand Admiral, Tigellinus - a known human elitist - befriended Thrawn with every intention of betraying him later. Once Thrawn was discredited and dispatched to the Unknown Regions, Tigellinus began to assert his own powerful influence. He was soon named a Grand Moff, but only his old friend Disra supported his actions. Tigellinus disliked the fact that a non-human, Hissa, had also been named Moff, but was unable to sway the other to see his point of view. When Hissa was named the leader of the Central Committee of Grand Moffs, in the wake of the Battle of Endor, he took the opportunity to discredit Tigellinus and eliminate his dissenting voice. Hissa offered Tigellinus a subordinate role, which Tigellinus refused on the advice of Disra. For his insubordination, Tigellinus was executed on the spot, and Disra gladly agreed to take his place. (SWJ8, SWJ9, SWJ14, SWI66, OWS)

Tigereye, Sully
This Trunsk was a decorated member of the Special Forces of the Alliance and the New Republic, as a member of Andrephan Stormcaller's Red Alpha unit. When Stormcaller resigned his commission after the Republic ignored the Pentstar Alignment's takeover of Entralla, Sully and several other members of the unit left with him. They formed the Red Moons mercenary unit, and fought the Alignment themselves. Sully was the leader of the group which was sent to Gabredor III to rescue the children of the Cantras Gola ambassador from the Karazak Slavers Guild. (SWJ3, SWJ8, TFE)

Tiggs, Avedon
This man was a noted actor and musician, during the years following the Second Galactic Civil War. Tiggs was also known for his political activism, and was often arrested during protests for the many causes he supported. His presence at the Unification Summit was discovered by the security agents who were assigned to watch over the guests, in part because Tiggs himself had not been invited. He was seen in the company of Commenor's Senator, but his appearance was forgotten when it was learned that Valin Horn had been spotted among the beings who were gathered for the Summit. (FJ1)

Tight Wing
This was a military tactic, used to enhance the abilities of a group of starfighters by condensing their formation into a tight grouping. While this eliminated maneuverability, it increased the amount of firepower from a single unit. The ability to maintain a tight wing often lasted just a few moments, during the opening engagement of a battle, when pilots of lesser skill dropped behind the main wing because they couldn't match the speed or direction of their wingmates. (SOG)

Tigmary
This aromatic herb was native to the planet Gamorr, where it was used to add flavor to various cuts of meat. (OWS)

Tigress
This Alliance agent was hidden as a librarian within the Imperial archives. She befriended the Lady Amber Comark, despite her father's position as an Imperial Moff. When Tigress was discovered, she was quickly removed from her position and tortured. Amber felt nearly powerless as the Empire's interrogation eventually killed Tigress, until she resolved to pick up where Tigress left off. The lapse in contact between the two "Tigress" agents caused some concern within Alliance Intelligence, although Amber's help in exposing the Death-Hunter project was invaluable. (SWJ9)

Tigris
A Firrerreo youth, son of Hethrir and Rillao. It was hoped that Tigris would have a great deal of Force sensitivity, given that his parents were both Jedi. Their master, Darth Vader, hoped that their son would grow to become a great Sith warrior. However, Tigris was born without any Force sensitivity whatsoever, and was all but forgotten by his father. Rillao placed him on one of the Firrerreo colony ships, but Hethrir discovered him there and woke him up. Tigris was then relegated to slave status, doing whatever menial tasks Hethrir appointed. When Hethrir's treachery was revealed to Tigris at Crseih Station, he was through into a mass of emotional confusion. His mother took him back, to begin drawing him out of the shell Hethrir had built. (CS)

see T'ill (SWEPH)

T'iil Blossom Homes
This two-hundred-family housing complex was constructed in the city of Leilani, on the planet Delaya. Completed during the months that led up to the destruction of Alderaan and the Battle of Yavin, the T'iil Blossom Homes were set diverted for use by the many Alderaanian refugees who arrived on Delaya. This allowed Prime Minister Gresh Manaa and his deputy, Var Lyonn, to outwardly show that they were supportive of the plight of the dishomed Alderaanians, despite the outcry from the native Delayans. In reality, only those wealthy and privileged Alderaanians were given the opportunity to take up residence in the T'iil Blossoms Homes. This left more than 7,000 refugees without a place to live, and the Delayan government wanted little to do with actually helping them. The remaining refugees were housed in abandoned warehouses, and given only the barest minimum of food, water, and supplies. (RF2)

T'iil Seed Cake
This sweet cake was a common dessert served on the planet Alderaan. (RF2)

Tiin, Saesee
This Iktotchi Jedi Master was born on the moon of Iktotch, where he learned to fly a variety of starships. Over time, after discovering his ability with the Force and being trained as a Jedi under the tutelage of Master Omo Bouri, Tiin could instinctively fly virtually any craft. He was known in the Old Republic military as an excellent dogfighter, but was also something of a loner who preferred solitary contemplation over crowded meetings. Saesee Tiin was also one of the few Jedi Masters who never took a Padawan to train. Saesee Tiin served on the Jedi Council at the time when Qui-Gon Jinn petitioned to have Anakin Skywalker trained as a Jedi, and was known on the Coucil for his foresight and his ability to foresee the future. After the Battle of Naboo, Master Tiin was able to recover Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator from Naboo, and spent many hours examining its unusual systems. During the height of the Clone Wars, it was Master Tiin who encouraged Anakin to continue the development of a personalized Delta-7 Aethersprite fighter, despite Obi-Wan Kenobi's concern that Anakin viewed the ship as a possession. Master Tiin, however, was hoping that Anakin's innate ability to repair, modify, and improve technology would result in new improvements to the Delta-7 that might give the Jedi an edge in the battle. As the fighting ground on, Master Tiin was appointed the primary liaison between the Jedi Council and the Freedom's Sons organization. Tiin was paired with Anakin Skywalker again near the end of the Clone Wars, when they accompanied Plo Koon to Rendili to ensure that the planet's fleet of Dreadnaughts was not turned over to the Separatists. Their orders to secure the fleet or destroy it, a stance that led the crew of the Mersel Kebir to mutiny and attempt to remain at Rendili. When Master Koon was taken hostage, Master Tiin was forced to act to destroy the fleet. Anakin then proposed a desparate plan to disable the Dreadnaughts without bloodshed, and Master Tiin was unsure how to proceed. The appearance of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos allowed him to give Anakin his chance. Young Skywalker's plan succeeded, and the Jedi were able to put an end to the siege over Rendili. As the Clone Wars began to wind down after the First Battle of Coruscant, Master Tiin was among the group of Jedi Masters who accompanied Mace Windu to arrest Chancellor Palpatine, after it was learned that he had finally been revealed as Darth Sidious. However, the Jedi were unprepared for Palpatine's powers, and Saesee Tiin was quickly beheaded during the fighting, leaving Mace Windu to face Palpatine alone. (E1, E1N, IG1, OWS, SWDB, RDR, IS3, E3N)

Tiirtha
This male Tarasin served as the Father of his tribe during the height of the Clone Wars. He was one of the first to openly question Mother Dariana's call for unity among the Tarasin, especially after Cularin was placed under martial law and the Tarasin were driven from their homes. Like many other Tarasin, Father Tiirtha feared that Dariana's plans for the Tarasin would kill their people, not strengthen them. Thus, he was unprepared when Dariana said that she would step down, if it would help the Tarasin survive. He was further taken aback when she announced that Tiirtha himself would be her successor. In order to secure his position, Tiirtha was quick to agree to Dariana's two terms. First, she was allowed to serve out the remainder of the year as the Tarasin leader. Second, her orders and commands during that year were to be carried out without question. Tiirtha was the first to honor these requests, and gladly laid down his weapons when Dariana asked for peace among the tribes. (LFCW)

Tiis, Fyefee
This Iktotchi served as a General in the Army of the Republic, during the early months of the Clone Wars. General Tiis was in command of the modified Republic Cruiser Whipsaw during the defense of the planet Cartao. The Whipsaw managed to disable the droid control ship which had been placed in orbit around the planet, temporarily disarming the battle droids on the ground. Unfortunately for the clone troopers on the ground, the Separatists had a mobile droid control unit ready to deploy in Foulahn City, which brought the battle droids back online almost immediately. (SWI69)

Tika
This small, red-haired girl was taken by Jacen Solo to the planet Hapes, where she was used during Jacen's scheme to kidnap his daughter, Allana, from the royal palace. Tika was an orphan whom Jacen found on Coruscant, and she bore a passing resemblance to Allana. In order to gain her confidence, Jacen told Tika he would take her to a planet full of beautiful woman, one of whom might become her new mother. In exchange, Tika agreed to dress up like Allana and stay in the princess' room after Jacen captured her. Jacen transported her to Hapes in a sealed cargo crate, where she was given a datapad loaded with games to pass the time while in space. Upon arriving at Hapes, Jacen used his skills with the Force to infiltrate the royal palace and reach his daugher's bedroom. He took Allana, and left Tika behind. Then, when Hapan security forces reached Allana's bedroom, Tika turned over a datachip to them with Jacen's demands: the support of the Hapan fleet against Allana's life. (LF7)

Tikiarri
A fierce, primitive race native to the jungles of the planet Joralla, the Tikiarri descended from predatory avians and remained fearsome predators throughout their history. Their average lifespan was about 30 Jorallan years, but only because so many males die in combat before they were twenty. They were made even more dangerous when a foolish trader introduced the Tikiarri to blaster technology, which gave the Tikiarri a distincyt advantage. Over the years, many of their hunts involved killing offworlders in order to obtain their blaster weapons. (PG1)

Tiki-hava

This was the name chosen by Vestara Khai to describe the uvak to which she was bonded. Tikk was distinguished by the bright, golden scales that covered its head, as well as the black-and-red coloration to its ruff. Like other uvaks that were bonded to Tyros, Tikk was taken away to Lady Olaris Rhea's personal stables when Vestara was chosne to be Lady Rhea's Apprentice, as a demonstration that an Apprentice needed to learn to live without personal possessions and attachments. (FJI, FJ2)

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

Tikkes
This Quarren businessbeing was elected as a Senator by the Quarren on Calamari during the last decades of the Old Republic. Over time, Tikkes amased a huge fortune through the corruption and graft which sprung up shortly before Chancellor Valorum was voted out of power. During the year leading up to the Battle of Naboo, Senator Tikkes began to side with Orn Free Taa and the Senators who opposed Chancellor Finis Valorum's command of the Old Republic. As the years wore on and planets began to secede from the stagnating Republic, Senator Tikkes was one of the many voices in the Senate who called for the direct formation of the Army of the Republic, rather than voting on it and having the Amry's formation delayed by the constant bickering of the Senate. However, any political sway Senator Tikkes might have had was eliminated when he was implicated as part of a Thalassian slavery ring. Tikkes was taken to prison on Calamari and was replaced by Tundra Dowmeia, but later jumped bail and fled the planet. It was believed that Tikkes joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems shortly afterward. (IG1, COD, HNN4, HNN5, SWDB)

She left Naboo when she turned nineteen, and for thirteen years worked as a pilot outside the Naboo System, gathering experience before returning to serve in her homeworld's military. She returned because hated the greed which was taking over the galaxy, and wanted to make sure that her homeworld was made aware of the growing discontent in the galaxy. It was rumored that Essara had become bored with starfighting. After her return to Naboo and her appointment to Bravo Squadron, she developed a personal relationship with her wingmate, Dren Melne. She took the role of training Echo Flight, shortly before the Battle of Naboo, despite the fact that Dren wanted her to leave Naboo with him to work for the government of Agamar. During the defense of station TFP-9, it was revealed that Dren had actually made up his mind to leave the Naboo. Essara was unprepared for the treacherous way Dren decided to leave, and was forced to shoot him down when he began attacking Echo Flight pilots. She nearly killed him, but the droid starfighters in the hold of the Velumina overwhelmed her small force. Essara was forced to surrender to Sorran's pirates. (SFT)

T'ill
A fragrant, flowering plant native to Alderaan, the t'ill was also quite attractive to look at. The flower itself was shaped like a trumpet, and bloomed with a vibrant yellow color. Extracts created from the t'iil flower were used to soothe the pain of a sore throat, and the leaves of the plant were used to create a soothing tea. Within the golden, trumpet-shaped blossom of the t'iil was a single drop of nectar, which was harvested and used to distill l'lahsh. It took more than a thousand hand-picked blossoms to produce a single bottle of l'lahsh, making it one of the most expensive spirits in the galaxy. (E4R, JPL, GF, SWJ11, SWEPH)

This Devaronian grew up as an orphan, although he developed a number of expensive and refined tastes during his adolescence. He eventually was forced to find his way off Devaron in order to meet his own exacting standards, but had few marketable skills. He soon found work as a grifter, moving from planet to planet and scamming everyone he came in contact with. He eventually took on several apprentices, to help fill his coffered without doing any "real work." He cared little for the Empire or the New Order, but had no reason to hate it, either. (HR)

Tills, Meena
This Mon Calamari served as a Senator to the Old Republic, working with Tundra Dowmeia to represent their homeworld during the height of the Clone Wars. Tills and a group of five other beings were kidnapped from the Galactic City Spaceport and held hostage by an armed gang led by Nuriin-Ar, until the clone commandos of Omega Squad were sent in to rescue them. It was later learned that Senator Tills wasn't the primary target, just a convenient diversion for the possible killing of N'zaet Nir. (SWI81, SWDB)

Tilnes
This was the name of the outermost moon of the planet Cularin. A lifeless world, Tilnes' orbit took it between Cularin and Morasil at such a rate that the surface of Tilnes grew quite hot. Despite this, a form of scrub grass managed to grow on the surface, and yri worms inhabited the crust. During the Old Republic, a number of mining corporations took up residence on Tilnes, hoping to make their fortunes harvesting crystals. These crystals were discovered to be applicable in the creation of lightsabers, and even the flawed crystals could be used in blasters such as the T-32S. Because of the moon's orbit, these mining operations were forced to build their bases underground, and Tilnes was soon riddled by a network of tunnels. The construction and maintenance of these tunnels led to the startling discoveries of two hidden bases - one owned by the Caarites of the Metatheran Cartel, and the other owned by the Thaereian Military - shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars. The discoveries, coupled with the hard times incurred by the Clone Wars, meant that the Tilnes mines were no longer as profitable as they had once been. (LFC, WOTC, MCT1)

Tilossa
This middle-aged Gotal was a minor crimelord who owned and operated The Puddle during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He made a living selling water and renting property, and funneled the profits into protecting the area from assault.

Tilotny
This feminine deity created a physical manifestation of herself, sometime after the Battle of Yavin. Using a skill known as throwing a shape, Tilotny created a beautiful young woman to represent herself.

Timbra Ott
This planet, located in the Kathol Outback, stands at the far end of the Galtea Run. Originally settled as a sister colony to Gandle Ott in order to accommodate those settlers who were looking for more isolation than usual, Timbra Ott became a penal colony maintained by the government of Kal'Shebbol after a series of earthquakes and tidal waves destroyed much of the settlement there. The planet's natural beauty recovered in time, and the convicts who were exiled there worked hard to make the planet liveable. When the Empire decided to strand the colonists on Timbra, rather than maintaining the facility, a series of riots broke out before a group of individuals took control of the planet and formed their own government. Since that time, the planet had re-asserted itself as a simple colony world, although most other residents of the Kathol Outback still consider the people of Timbra Ott to be convicts and criminals. (KO)

This was another name for the Renewal Ceremony of the Gupins. (OWS)

Time-drifting
This was an extension of the Aing-Tii ability of flow-walking, in which an individual moved along the threads of the Force to travel forward or backward in time. Jacen Solo learned to use this technique, and was able to glean key pieces of information about the fall of Anakin Skywalker by revisiting his final days. The technique was not without its risks, however. Any being spotted by those he visited while time-drifting could cause those they were viewing to alter their actions, thereby creating shifts in the the flow of time. (LF2)

Ti'mere, Byro
A man was the owner of Ti'mere's InfoServices, based on the asteroid known as Brugga. He was always impeccably dressed, even though he rarely left his base of operations. Byro started his career as a computer operator, working for a number of manufacturers and security companies before striking out on his own. (FBS)

This was one of the many attractions found at Aucellis Park, on the moon of Keriba VI, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was a realistic simulation of a zero-gravity, low-orbit shuttle hop. (WOA27)

Timeshadow
This unusual aftereffect of the use of the Darkstaff was reported by a small number of beings who were native to the planet Cularin, during the final years of the Old Republic. Because the Darkstaff made the entire Cularin System jump some ten years forward in time, strange things began to happen in the system. Certain individuals experienced the timeshadow, in which a "copy" of themselves was created in an alternate timeline. This "copy" was an exact duplicate of the original being, and existed simulateously with the original. However, when the original individual died, they were suddenly "replaced" with their timeshadow copy. The event was disconcerting to the individual, since they believed themselves dead. Those beings who experienced this effect reported no hamrful side effects from the replacement. The timeshadow copy lived the rest of its life and died in what appeared to be normal fashion, although the effect only occurred once, since the timeshadow's energy was spent in bringing the original back to life. (LFCW)

Timespan
This ship, owned by the Alliance and based on Yavin 4, was the only transport available to Trux Zissu as he prepared to travel to Delantine. It was an older ship, but Han Solo was confident in her abilities. Upon reaching Delantine, however, the Timespan was attacked by an Imperial warship and disabled. (SA1)

Timja Suns
This collection of stars was known to bombard nearby space with intense light and radiation. (AIR)

Timmer, Mill
This Corellian man was a member of the Coruscant police force during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. A dedicated officer who worked a beat in Coruscant's financial district, Timmer was known as a dirty cop on the take, and eventually took too much. A bounty for Timmer's capture was issued by the Dug crimelord Sebolto, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. Jango Fett claimed the bounty sometime later, when he apprehended by Timmer and his fellow officers. Fett had just killed the Twi'lek Senator Trell, and Timmer's gunship was the first to arrive on the scene. Fett managed to disable the gunship and take control of the police officers who survived. (BH)

This ancient manufacturing corporation produced some of the first beam tube energy weapons, but ceased operations many centuries before the Battle of Yavin. (EGW)

Timmser
This woman was a member of Riistar's Radiers before joining Rock Squadron and the Khuiumin Survivors. She trained under Corran Horn, who had infilitrated the Survivors as Jenos Idanian. She was one of the first Invids to test on the Tri-fighters Corran had equipped with hyperdrives, and she used this training to flee Courkrus when Corran, disguised as an "avenging Jedi," began terrorizing the pirate groups. (IJ)

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

Timon Medon Plaze

(SWJ4, TBSB, GORW, OWS)

Timoth
A group of modified CR90 Corvettes stationed at Kothlis during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Timpel, Marus
A native of the planet Coruscant, this man was a Jedi Knights serving the Old Republic some 600 years before the Battle of Yavin. While on Coruscant, Timpel worked with the Jedi Council to screen potential candidates for training. One of these candidates was a young Gotal who was too old and lacked a deep connection to the Force. Life continued for Timpel, but he often found himself unable to adequately complete his missions due to the limitations and restrictions imposed by the Jedi Council. Years later, on a mission to Antar 4, Timpel once again encountered the Force-sensitive Gotal he had dismissed years ago. The Gotal, known as Kaskutal, still harbored resentment toward the Jedi Order, but it was overshadowed by his admiration for the work of the Jedi Knights. Putting aside their differences, Timpel and Kaskutal began discussing the need for more action by the Jedi Order. Timpel decided that it was time to form an organization which was separate from the Jedi Order yet allied with their ideals and goals. Along with funding from Kaskutal, Timpel formed the Antarian Rangers. Unfortunately, Timpel died shortly afterward, leaving the administration of the Rangers to Kaskutal. (WOTC, HG)

Tindark
This platform city was established on the planet Cularin, and was built on a platform in reaction to the Tarasin concerns for the environment of Cularin. Gadrin and her sister city, Hedrett, had expanded rapidly since beign founded by Reidi Artom, and the Tarasin feared that uncontrolled growth would seriously impact the growth and future of the sacred ch'hala trees. Crime was a major concern in Tindark, and the police were forced to exaggerate their presence in order to control it. Tindark was the site of SoroSuub Corporation's corporate offices in the Cularin System, and was also the headquarters of the Metatheran Cartel. (LFC)

Tingel Arm
This area of the Corporate Sector was where most of the fighting between the Authority and the Trianii took place. In the realignment which occurred after the Battle of Endor and the eventual formation of a peace treaty between the Imperials and the New Republic, the Tingel Arm was located directly between the Corporate Sector and the Imperial Remnant. Despite its location, the Tingel Arm remained one of the least explored areas of the galaxy. Many xenobiologists theorized that the Yuuzhan Vong could have developed in this area, instead of in another galaxy. The Tingel Arm was the entry point of the Yuuzhan Vong during their invasion of the galaxy, with the planets Belkadan and Helska being the first to fall to the alien invaders. (CSA, HT, SBS)

Tingel's Ghosts
This was the name of the Alliance cell which tracked Imperial movements in Tapani Sector by prowling the infonets of the planet Mrlsst. Founded by an agent known only as Tingel, this group managed to obtain most of its information by pirating it from the local Imperial security Bureau computers. (LOE)

Tingler, The
This form of personal shield was developed some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. It was designed to absorb and store electrical energy that was used as a weapon. This energy was then released slowly over time, so as not to injure the user. However, this discharge system made the inner edge of the shield vibrate, earning it the nickname of The Tingler. (KOTOR)

Among the cargoes discovered on the ship were amphistaffs which had been grown on Wayland. (EVR)

Tinn VI
This gas giant was the primary planet in the Tinn System, which had seven planets orbiting a pair of normal organe stars. Tinn VI itself had six natural satellites which have become outposts in the Tinn System. Located in the Outer Rim Territories, Tinn VI was a huge world which generated an intense magnetic field. This field had the effect of stripping a starship of its magnetic shielding, causing fusion generators to become unstable. The swirling atmosphere of Tinn VI was composed mainly of hydrogen, nitrogen, and ammonium. (SWJ4)

Tinn VI-B
This was the identifier used to name the second moon of Tinn VI. (SWJ4)

Tinnel IV
This Core world was located in the Quanta Sector. (SWJ6)

Tinnell
This race of feline humanoids was native to an unknown Mid-Rim world. They appear to be completely clueless about the galaxy around them, but in fact were excellent mechanics and improvisors. Many of the contraptions they create were unwieldy and ugly, but function at or above the specifications of new components, making them valuable assets to starship crews. (SWJ1)

Tinn'lyi
This nation of humans lived on the Tinn'lyis Islands of the planet Corsin, and had a somewhat symbiotic relationship with the selligores of the ocean. The Tinn'lyi would gather plant material and leave it on shore for the selligores to feed on, and in return the selligores would allow the Tinn'lyi to drag large nets behind them in order to catch fish. This was the only known contact between humankind and the selligores. (COG)

Tino found himself the object of a hunt by Ona Nobis, who had been paid by Jenna Zan Arbor to eliminate Tino, as he was a link to Ren's death. Tino escaped, thanks to the efforts of Oib-Wan Kenobi and Astri Oddo. Tino then explained who scared Ren was of Zan Arbor, and told them of Captain Yur T'aug's dropping of the investigation into Ren's death. (EVE)

Tinok-F Patrol Cloud Car

Tin-Tin Dwarf
A ratlike alien race, the Tin-Tin Dwarves were also know as Tintinna. Native to the planet Rinn, these intelligent creatures lived below-ground in burrows and caves. Their government was made up of tribal leaders, and the inhabitants of every clan and city toiled endlessly to make their lives easier. Many xenobiologists believed that the Tin-Tin Dwarf was related to the Ranat, primarily because of their similarities in appearance.

Tin-Tin Dwarves were known for their heightened senses of hearing and eyesight, senses that were honed in their underground homes. For this reason, many starship captains welcomed them as part of their crews, hiring them as lookouts and security agents. Note that these creatures called T'iin-T'iin Dwarves in the novelization of the Star Wars Radio Drama. (E4R, TNR, EGA, E4Y, NEGA)

Tiny F
This was the handle used by one of Cularin's most enigmatic slicers, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was Tiny F who discovered an encrypted transmission from Jir Tramsig to the Thaereian Military leaders dispersed throughout the Cularin System, demanding that the Thaereians crush any and all resistance they encountered immediately. Tramsig's message apparently expressed a certain fear that the Cularin Militia might be able to rally the populace to oppose any Thaereian control. The message eventually found its way to the Cularin Militia and Senator Lavina Wren, who took the message quite seriously. (LFCW)

Tiny F
see TINYF (LFCW)

TINYF
This acronym began showing up as graffiti on the buildings of Cularin, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. As it began to spread to buttons, shirts, and stickers, the population became aware that it stood for "Thaere was Not Your Friend," and was an open criticism of the presence of the Thaereian Military in the Cularin System. After a news report by Ryk Osentay, many beings simply referred to the acronym as "Tiny F". (LFCW)

Tion
This planet, sometimes referred to as Tion Proper, was considered the original center of the Tion Hegemony. (GORW)

Tion
This Imperial noble svered as a task force leader for the Emperor, during the height of the New Order. Lord Tion was assigned to work with Grand Moff Tarkin to secure the supplies and military backing for Tarkin's Death Star project. During this time, he commanded the Imperial-I class Star Destroyer Devastator in the destruction of the Alliance base on Ralltiir.

While on Ralltiir, he became enamored of Princess Leia. She used this infatuation to allow her to escape the planet without Imperial intercession. Later, after Leia and her father, Bail Organa, learned about the Empire's plans to build the first Death Star, the Organas invited Tion to Alderaan for a dinner, during which they would try to obtain more information on the battle station. They were able to discover from Tion that the plans were being moved to the Imperial vaults, but Leia could not control her anger. She accidentally let Tion know she had inside information by revealing the code name 'Death Star,' and he attempted to arrest her. A struggle ensued, and Tion was killed when he tried to pull his blaster on Leia, and instead fired it on himself. (E4R, SWJ3, OWS)

Tion
This was a Mandalorian interrogative prefix, used when asking a question, as in Tion'gar verborad'ni? ("Are you hiring me?") (OWS, SWI86)

Tion, Nenevanth
This young man, a native of the planet Lianna, was just fifteen when he traveled to Coruscant to attend a gathering of the Commission for the Protection of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. He gave a rousing speech to his fellow youths, using quotes from the Kitel Phard Dynasty to defend his support of Chancellor Palpatine and the Old Republic. (SWI70)

Tion Cluster
This cluster of stars was found in one of the spiral arms of the galaxy. It was comprised of some 12,000 stars, 600 habitable worlds, and three major sectors. The sectors were the Cronese Mandate, the Tion Hegemony, and the Allied Tion. For many millennia, the Tion Cluster considered itself the home of humanity, even after Xim the Despot united it with many other surrounding star systems. However, more than 1,100 years after Xim's death, traders moving down the Perlemian Trade Route made contact with the peoples of the Tion. This sparked the Tion to action, especially when the natives of the Tion Cluster learned about the hyperdrive. They coveted the technologies of the fledgling Old Republic, and tried to take it by force. This plan backfired, as the forces of the Old Republic managed to drive the Tion ships back into their home systems before pitting the Tion Cluster against the Hutts. Then, bands of Jedi Knights were sent into the Tion Cluster, and the systems it contained were eventually absorbed into the Republic. (ML, GORW, OWS)

Tion Commerce Tower
This was one of the prmiary commercial buildings located on the planet Lianna, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (GCG)

Tion Hegemony
Known as the Ancient and Honorable Union of the Tion Hegemony, this sector of the Tion Cluster was a collection of twenty-seven star systems found among the furthest reaches of the galaxy. The Tion Hegemony was located far from the Core Worlds, but it embraced some of the oldest and most ancient human civilizations in the galaxy. During the early years of the Old Republic, the Tion Hegemony was ruled by Xim the Despot. Before Xim, the Livien League controlled the Hegemony.

As the Republic grew and the Tion Hegemony was "liberated" after Xim's defeat, the sector saw a decline it its fortunes. However, the Hegeomny remained the breadbasket of the Tion, providing foodstuffs for all three of the Tion's sectors.

When Emperor Palpatine rose to power and instituted the New Order, the Tion Hegemony was torn asunder. The Keldrath Alignment and the Indrexu Confederation were removed and incorporated into their own sectors, while the remaining areas of space were split into the Allied Tion and the Cronese Mandate. What remained of the Tion Hegemony was a mere shadow of itself, a fact that was made all the more humiliating when the Hegemony was only given a minor presence on the Imperial Senate.

The Tion Hegemony, being so far from Imperial control, became a home to many out-of-work smugglers, swindlers, and con artists who were trying to improve their lots in life. Han Solo even worked for Grigmin on the planet Saheelideel for many months, during the early years of the New Order. Note that Agents of Chaos: Hero's Trial states that the outer reaches of Hegemony were made up of 175 planets. Also note that Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds indicates that the Tion Hegemnony crumbled many thousands of years before the Galactic Civil War. (HSR, HSL, ML, HT, GORW, OWS)

Tipn, Pollo
This young Devaronian was a student of galactic history, and one of Voren Na'al's best students. He dreamed of one day meeting the heroes of the Battle of Yavin, just as Na'al had done. Several years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, Na'al chose Tipn to revisit the events surrounding Thrawn's rise and defeat. Na'al also asked Tipn to accompany him on a fact-finding mission to Exocron. (TTSB)

Tipoca
This was another name used to describe the planet Kamino, referring to the capital of Tipoca City. (RC66)

Tipoca City
This was greatest of the cities based in the wind-swept oceans of the planet Kamino. Like other cities on the planet, Tipoca City was erected on heavy stilts that extended through the water and into the bedrock of the ocean floor, and spread across more than 150 kilometers of ocean surface at Kamino's western equator. These stilts had thin profiles, which allowed the crashing waves to flow around them, rather than break against them. The buildings of Tipoca City were conical in shape, with wide, flared based and tall towers at their center. This configuration allowed the strong winds which swept the planet to move around and over the buildings without much drag, eliminating a large portion of the environmental stresses they had to endure. This shape also allowed the torrential rains to flow off the roof od each building, without causing damage due to heavy, standing water. Many xenoarchaeologists attributed the design of Tipoca City to influences from Kashyyyk and Alderaan, where structures were built to become part of their environment. It was said that Tipoca City's stilt-based substructure was an example of the Alderaanian Oversea form, while the Krorral form of Kashyyyk became the basis for the domes of the city. A collection of lightning rods mounted on top of the city channeled the regular bursts of energy over and away from the building, furthering protecting the structure. Access to Tipoca City was protected by a hermetically-sealed series of airlocks, ensuring a sterile environment in which to live and work. To most beings in the galaxy, the sterile white color of Tipoca City was quite boring. However, the Kaminoans could see into spectra beyond visual light, and could discern swirling patterns in the stark walls. It was within the walls of Tipoca City that the Kaminoans established the huge cloning facility which produced the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic, during the decade leading up to the Battle of Geonosis and the Clone Wars. However, despite the amount of government and industry found within its walls, Tipoca City had but a single residential section, that being set aside for the govnerment leaders and chief scientists. The millions of Kaminoans who worked in the city each day made their homes in outlying cities. In the wake of the Clone Wars and the restrictions that were placed against cloning in general, Tipoca City gradually declined in stature and beauty, as fewer and fewer credits were funnelled into Kaminoan facilities. By the time Koa Ne took over as the city's Minister, Tipoca City had begun to fall apart. Several towers had collapsed entirely, and others were badly damaged. (SWI60, E2N, SWDB, IWE2, GORW, LF2)

Tipper
This was the nickname used by the Corellian businessman who formed the Skaak Tippers gang. (SWGAL)

Tippet
This young Ewok male was the betrothed of Kaimda, during the months following the battle of Endor. Tippet was an upstanding Ewok from Bright Tree Village, and his position in the local government made him a powerful figure, both among the Ewoks and within the Alliance. Tippet was led to believe that Kamida was assaulted by a Lahsbee, on a false rumor planted by the Hiromi spy Hirog, setting off a war between the Ewoks and the Lahsbees. In an effort to defuse the situation, Lando Calrissian suggested that Tippet fight the Lahsbee delegate in a duel to determine who would win Kamida's hand. The fight quickly got out of hand when the Lahsbee morphed into a Huhk. When other Lahsbees joined in to subdue the Huhk, the Ewoks realized that both races were fighting over nothing. (MC94)

It was rumored that he was developing a more efficient sublight engine, and was going to sell its plans to the highest bidder. (WBC)

Tirac Munda
A planet. (CCG2)

Tiraca
This Melida was the mother of Pinani. Tiraca was killed in the long-standing battle between the Melida and the Daan. (DOD)

Tiragga
The Alliance had a small base on this planet's second moon, but it was wiped out by an outbreak of Direllian Plague. (SWJ1)

Tirahnn
The heroes of the Battle of Yavin stopped over on this planet, the primary world of the Tirahnn System, and were captued by Kharys and her various alien cohorts. The planet was a major trade nexus, serving as the capital of the Zeemacht Cluster of solar systems, and was under the control of the Empire during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The average day on Tirahnn lasted twenty-eigth standard hours, and its year lasted 272 local days. The planet was orbited by nine moons. (LTA1, MCA1, WOA32)

Tirahnn
This was the largest city found on the planet Tirahnn, and it also served as the planetary capital. (WOA32)

Tirahnn
This star was the primary body in the Tirahnn system, located in the Zeemacht Cluster. (WOA32)

Tirahnnite
This was the term used to describe the human population of the planet Tirahnn. (WOA32)

Tiran
This ancient Drall scientist proved, some 35,000 years before the Clone Wars, that space and time were inseparable. Tiran also proved that the speed of light was an absolute boundary that could not be crossed. Many of the physical laws he confirmed were later thrown into question by the discovery of hyperspace, and the ways in which a starship could enter and exit it with a hyperdrive. Later investigation revealed that Tiran's Theory of Universal Reference did not preclude an object traveling faster than light; it just prohibited an object traveling at the speed of light. (MBS)

Tiranga
This Hutt controlled much of the tax collection operations of the planet Socorro during the New Order. An exile from his homeworld, Tiranga suffered a debilitating spinal cord injury as a child, and was considered a runt among his own kind. As an adult, Tiranga was just 2.5 meters in length, and the majority of his torso and tail was paralyzed. However, Tiranga was nonetheless a powerful figure on this adopted homeworld of Socorro, and had the backing of the Society of the Black Bha'lir to add credence to his position. When other Hutts learned of Tiranga's survival, they put out a death mark for his head. This effectively kept Tiranga on Socorro at all times, unless accompanied by a heavy Black Bha'lir guard. (BSS)

Tiranga's Loft
This pleasure club was owned and operated by Tiranga the Hutt, and was located in Vakeyya, on the planet Socorro. It was here that the Hutt also held his public tax assessment proceedings. The establishment was located in a dilapidated warehouse building which was dotted with signs that indicated it was condemned. In reality, though, the interior of the warehouse was an immense bar, casino, and dance hall. A double layer of blast shields protects the building's true nature from being discovered, and layers of packed sand inside the walls help deaden any vibration and make it virtually sound-proof. The gravity inside the building was kept at two-thirds standard, in deference to Tiranga's spinal injury. Rumor had it that Lando Calrissian was a partner in the Loft, having helped finance its construction. (BSS)

Tircee
This was a common Ayrou name. (UANT)

Tiree
A Rebel fighter pilot killed during the Battle of Yavin, Tiree was known for his daring raid on an Imperial-held research facility. He piloted his Y-Wing into occupied territory to liberate a team of engineers. (E4, JKG2)

Tiree
Tiree was an undercover Alliance operative, posing as an aide to Governor Cuvir. This allowed Tiree to obtain large amounts of Imperial data for the Alliance in this position, until he was discovered by Cuvir when he tried to collect a datapad full of fleet movements in the Tandell System. A scuffle ensued, and Tiree was forced to shoot Cuvir. He was discovered and rescued by the medical droid 2-1B, who felt no loss at Cuvir's death. Together, they fled Imperial space for the Alliance. Tiree later fled Alliance service unexpectedly, returning to Questal to try and find out what happened to Rogan, the husband of his sister Tyerle. He was incapacitated by Moff Bandor's hurlothrumbic generator, but was eventually rescued by friends within the Alliance. After recovering, Tiree returned to the Alliance, and worked as a field agent in the Tharin and Arkanis Sectors. He was paired with Yom Argo during the Alliance's investigation of the planet Iskalon, and they worked to stir up anti-Imperial sentiments among the members of The School. In an effort to put an end to their actions, the Empire attacked and decimated their homeworld of Telfrey. (MTS, GCQ, AIR, GMR1)

Tirefin
This was a valuable form of spice. (GMS)

Tirez meez canto ripit?
This question from the Bocce language was used when purchasing something. It translated into Basic as "May I have a receipt?" (GPB)

Tirginni Beast
This creature, native to an unsettled planet in Kathol Sector, was the favored prey of the mole serpent. These large beasts had scent glands which produced a distinctive smell. When extracted and refined, the scent glands produced a subtle perfume known as Tirginni Cologne. (SOT)

Tirginni Cologne
This cologne was extracted from the scent glands of the tirginni beast, which was native to the Kathol Sector. The subtle scent of Tirginni Perfume was perceived by only a few species, among them the Noghri, Twi'leks, Whiphids, and Hutts. These species described the colgone as pleasant mildly intoxicating. Because of the fact that tirginni beasts lived on an unsettled planet, the cost for each milliliter of the cologne was quite expensive. (SOT)

Tiro, Ti-Amun
This man was one of the handful of Jedi Masters who taught at the Almas Academy during the years surrounding the Clone Wars. He was strongly opposed to the demands from the Jedi Council on Coruscant that required all available Jedi to return for duty with the Republic Armed Forces, and turned his back on Master Jeht's explanation for the recall. (LFCW)

Tirog
A bounty hunter who often assisted the Alliance. (RPG)

Tiron, Jiliac Desilijic
This huge Hutt was Jabba's uncle, and was the leader of the Desilijic kajidic during the early years of the New Order. He maintained a vast estate on Nal Hutta, known as the Winter Palace, and was the de facto ruler of the planet Dilbana. Early in the reign of Emperor Palpatine, Jiliac and Jabba were in the business of supplying raw spice to Zavval and Teroenza for processing on Ylesia. They also hired pirates to waylay transport ships from Ylesia which carried the processed spice, thereby obtaining sellable goods for nothing. When Zavval died on Ylesia, Jiliac and Jabba were forced into a series of confrontations with Aruk and Durga. In the midst of these battles, Jiliac became pregnant and became a female. After the birth of her baby, Jiliac became so wrapped up with maternal instincts that Jabba feared Desilijic would be taken over. Jiliac retained her sharp intellect, though, but sometimes failed to understand Jabba's devious plans. They successfully lobbied at the Hutt Grand Council to penalize clan Besadii for its monopolization of the spice market, but this incurred Durga the Hutt's wrath. Durga challenged Jiliac to combat under the Old Law, and the younger Hutt prevailed. During the battle, Jabba also murdered Jiliac's offspring, leaving Jabba alone as Deslijic's leader. Note that the Hutt! Hutt! Hutt! feature on the Wizards of the Coast website (www.wizards.com) indicates that Jiliac was actually Jabba's father, and that Jabba was his oldest offspring. (TPS, THG, RD, WOTC)

Tirossk
This male Bothan served as a Captain the New Republic naval forces, during the months following the Battle of Endor. Captain Tirossk was placed in command of the warship Lancer, which was part of the Rapid Response Task Force, during the Battle of Mindor. When the flagship Justice was torn apart by Lord Shadowspawn's first gravity bomb, Tirossk and his crew feared that Luke Skywalker had been killed. With the Justice gone, and Luke Skywalker apparently dead, Captain Tirossk was forced to assume commande of the RRTF. He set about establishing a new flag aboard the Lancer while defending the surviving ships against further attacks. He was surprised when Han Solo and Chewbacca arrived aboard the Millennium Falcon, and joking inquired about the 8,000-credit debt Solo still owed him. However, Tirossk realized that Solo's ship was much more maneuverable than any surviving RRTF vessel, so he gladly offered to clear the debt if Solo could help destroy some the gravity stations and gravity mines that Lord Shadowspawn had hidden in the Taspan asteroid fields. When much of the threat was negated, Solo took his ship to the surface of Mindor to search for Luke Skywalker. Meanwhile, Tirossk implemented a bold plan to use Shadowspawn's own gravity stations to clump large asteroids together, in an effort to form a lane through which his ships could escape into hyperspace. (LSSM)

Tirranna
This female Wookiee served the Alliance as a field agent within the elite Eclipse Team. In her spare time, she worked to organize the resistance forces on Kashyyyk, in an effort to overthrow Imperial control of her homeworld. (AIR)

Tirrith
This unusual lifeform, found on the planet Beheboth, emitted a psychometric display of lights and sound that could render a human unconscious in a matter of minutes. The Tirrith had an empathic culture, in which the feelings of one part were shared by the entire organism. The few scientists who traveled to Beheboth during the early years of the New Republic were unable to ascertain whether or not the Tirrith was a single organism made up of millions of individual minds, or whether they existed in several thousand colonies of various sizes. When a colony of Tirrith was captured by Gideon Longspar, it was forced to do his bidding until Luke Skywalker arrived on Beheboth. Longspar realized that the Tirrith exuded a mild form of knockout gas, that could be used to incapacitate individuals in combat. Longspar kept his Tirrith in a special container, releasing them when needed. Luke's contact with the Force allowed him to help free the Tirrith, after defeating Longspar in battle. The Tirrith then used their unusual abilities to seed Beheboth's atmosphere, gratefully helping to end the centuries-long drought by causing rains to fall. Shortly afterward, however, Mils Giel and his assistants, Malka and Kimp Minmirn, captured a small hive of Tirrith and began to experiment with them, creating a mutant variant of Tirrith that only wanted to kill anything it came into contact with. Contained in speciallized globes, these Tirrith were part of a living bomb that Giel believed would become the Empire's next superweapon. Under Minmirn's manipulations, these mutant Tirrith could exude a toxic version of their knockout gas, capable of killing any being in range. These Tirrith could also inflict a "mind scream" onto the mind of a Force-sensitive individual, rendering them unconscious for a short time. Evidence of Giel's plans was discovered by Luke Skywalker, in the journals kept by Malka, and this evidence was used to generate a search for Giel, in an effort to put an end to his experiments on the Tirrith. (LTA3, MC66, PH)

Tirsa
An industrial world. (SWJ2)

Tirsa Wargear Corporation
An armaments manufacturer based on the planet Tirsa, they made Leviathan submersible carriers.

Tirsa was late caught and shut down by the Empire. (SWJ2)

Tirsan
This Esoomian served as one of Glorga the Hutt's bodyguards, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Tirsan was killed, along with several other bodyguards, when a group of smugglers tried to overthrow Glorga, during the Second Hollastin Insurrection. (SWJ4)

It measured 15 meters in length, and could achieve speeds of 950 kilometers and hour in atmosphere. A pilot and a gunner made up the crew, and there was room for two passengers. The TIS Zeta 19 was armed with a pair of laser cannons. (CSA)

Tisa
This was the nickname used by the crew of the Imperial Prison Barge Purge to describe the primary shipboard computer system. The computer was given a female voice, and many of the ship's crew spent their off-duty hours talking to the computer as if it were a real female. They eventually gave it the nickname Tisa in order to make their discussions more personal. (SWDT)

Tisilan, Mister
This Bith financier and art lover was also a noted thief who worked for the Alliance. Tisilan was one of the primary sources of goods within the supply chain maintained by Redda Macrebe, along the Trax Tube, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ7)

Tiska
This name was common among the Kobok race. (GORW)

Tiska-worm
This small worm was a popular bait used by fisherbeings across the galaxy. Tiska-worms were prized for the way that their bodies wriggled when they were placed on a hook, enticing fish to try and eat them. (CWWS)

Tisocco
This large Reussi male was one of Bre Derlin's primary contacts on the planet Reuss VIII, during the early years of the New Republic. When Derlin arrived on Reuss VIII to make contact with Lobar Aybock, Tisocco served as both a bodyguard and a co-conspirator. During Aybock's shockboxing bout against Tull Raine, Tisocco did his best to protect Dransa Beezer, and took a blaster bolt to the shoulder while ensuring that Beezer could keep the fight fair. The shot was fired by a Defel who worked for Torel Vorne, but Tisocco never said what happened to the Defel. (OWS)

Tiss
Meaning "frivolous", 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)

Tissar, Ziven
This Rodian was one of the most accomplished big-game hunters living on the planet Kashyyyk, during the height of the New Order. A long-time rival of Sordaan Xris', Tissar was also one of Xris' loudest detractors, claiming that Xris' was nothing more than a credit-lover who couldn't hunt if his life depended on it. Tissar was one of the four Rodians who owned a portion of the Etyyy, which was the Shyriiwook term for the Rodian Hunting Grounds. (SWGAL)

Tissido, Kendra
This woman served as the Captain of the Quickwit, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Tissido and her crew were attacked near Ando, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, when they dropped out of hyperspace to recalibrate the ship's navigational computer. (HNN5)

Tiss'shar
This was the native language of the Tiss'sharl race. (UANT)

Tiss'shar
A reptilian, bipedal race native to the planet Tiss'sharl. The average Tiss'shar was a slightly-built reptile with a thin body and long neck. They were extremely agile, and were very strong for their size. Their were six known races of Tiss'shar, each characterized by their unique coloration and markings. These patterns manifest themselves on the backs, arms, legs, and tails of the individual races. As a race, they were shrewd businessbeings with a flair for taking out their rivals. This had carried over into those Tiss'shar who were excellent hunters, and many of these vicious reptiles have been hired as assassins or bodyguards. (CSA, GG12)

Tiss'sharl
This mild planet was the homeworld of the Tiss'shar race. It was covered with perilous, humid jungles. The average year on Tiss'sharl lasted 11 standard months. (CSA, GG12)

Tiss'sharl League
This political body governs the Tiss'shar society, and was made up from politicians and business owners whose firms posted the highest profits during the previous five years. The League was presided over by a president and vice president, each of whom was chosen from the ranks of the League's general council. During the millennia leading up to the Galactic CivilWar, the Tiss'sharl League prospered as it oversaw the production of high-tech weaponry and new environmental technologies. However, the price of this success was often death. Many Tiss'shar coveted the positions of leadership on the League's council, and achieved promotions within the League via assassination, although this was never publicly discussed. (GG12, SWEPP)

Tissue Binder
This small device, found in many medical kits, was used to fuse together flesh in such a way that it could heal without additional damage. Because of the delicate nature of such an operation, the user of a tissue binder had to have steady hands and a strong constitution. (SHPT)

Tist
This Karran warrior was one of the subjects studied by Doctor Nardah. He felt that hi-tech weapons would be usless against the Empire, and vowed to defeat the Imperials with his own strengths. Later, when Nardah accepted the surrender of former Imperial Governor Darryn Edalm, Tist accused Nardah of being a traitor to the alliance which had been formed with the Karrans. Tist killed Nardah with his bare fists. (SWJ1)

Tist, Vegath
This Arcona was a member of the crew of the New Republic starship FarStar, during the hunt for Moff Sarne. He had been outcast from Cona for an unknown deed, although it may have had something to do with his addiction to salt. Vegath ended up on Kal'Shebbol in search of more salt to feed his desires, and one on the planet when the New Republic ousted Sarne from power. He was hired by the New Republic for his expertise with explosives. When the FarStar arrived at the planet Kathol, Tist was regarded as another piece of DarkStryder technology by the native Yapi tribes. (DARK, KR, E)

Tisvollt
This species of tree was native to the planet Barlok, where it grew in widespread forests. The tisvollt trees provided a home for the arboreal Karfs. (OF)

Tisyn-C
This nerve agent, produced during the Clone Wars, caused convulsions and dementia when inhaled. If not treated immediately, Tisyn-C caused respiratory failure and death in short order. Tisyn-C was one of many chemical weapons used by the Separatists during the Clone Wars. (SHPT)

Titan
This was one of the multitude of Imperial-class Star Destroyers which made up the Imperial Navy fleet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Titan 215
This was the designation of a line of podracers developed by Vokoff-Strood during the last decades of the Old Republic. Its cockpit measures 2.03 meters in length, and the twin engines measured 9.63 meters long. They were capable of speeds approaching 841 kilometers per hour. (IG1)

Titan 2150
see Titan 215 (NEGC)

Titan Kantrey
This ocean-going crustacean was native to the planet Calamari. The kantrey was protected by thick armor-like plates, which were later used by the Mon Calamari Knights as a form of body armor. (SWDB)

Titania
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer was stationed in Kathol Sector, under the command of Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne, during the early years of the New Republic. The Titania was supported by a Dreadnaught, a Nebulon-B frigate, and a CR90 corvette. During the Battle of Kathol, the Titania took heavy damage from the Bothan Combat Response Element, but maintained enough power to continue to fires its guns. This allowed time for the Bastion and the Raptor to reach Kathol and joint he fight. Eventually, the Titania sustained too much damage, and burned up in a fiery explosion. (E)

Titanicus
This gas giant was the fifth world in the Sacor, or Sacorria, System. It was orbited by fourteen moons. (CCW)

Titanite
This rare mineral was found on relatively large quantities on Haariden, buried deep in the planet's crust near its core. Because of this, it was extremely difficult and expensive to mine. Its worth, however, more than made up for the cost of its extraction. Because of this, the native population of Haariden broke into civil war over the rights to control the lands over which veins of titanite were found. Experimentation with the synthesis and extraction of titanite revealed that it could be refined to produce a substance that could be used in the production of bacta. (JQ4)

Titavian
This was another name for the goff, which was native to the planet Naboo. (WSW)

Titavian IV
This exploration vessel was owned and operated by the Intergalactic Zoological Society during the final decades of the Old Republic. Like many other ships owned by the IZS, the Titavian IV was a floating collection of lifeforms that had been gathered from across the galaxy, in the hopes of preserving some species and investigating other. The ship was based out of Mycroft, but it was attacked and left adrift during the last stages of the Clone Wars. It was unclear whether the ship had been attacked by privateers or Separatists, but an outdated distress signal used by the Jedi Order was received from the Titavian IV by Obi-Wan Kenobi. He was surprised to find Quinlan Vos aboard ths ship, fighting off a collection of repulsor-equipped morp droids. Vos revealed that he was being tracked by Asajj Ventress and Tol Skorr, and had tried to hide out in the ship's abandoned hulk. Ventress and Skorr managed to find him, but Vos' own ship was damaged, and he was forced to fight for his freedom. He agreed to explain his situation to Obi-Wan if they were able to escape from the Dark Jedi. (RDR)

Titch
This man served the Galactic Alliance as a Lieutenant in the Intelligence agency, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Despite his allegiance to the GA, Titch was a firm believer that the Empire would have handled the Yuuzhan Vong crisis better than the New Republic did. Much of his displeasure stemmed from the fact that he lost a number of friends and family to the Yuuzhan Vong. Lieutenant Titch was assigned Captain Barthis' mission to retrieve Wedge Antilles from his home on Corellia, after Thrackan Sal-Solo again threatened to secede the Corellian System from the Galactic Alliance. Although Barthis and Titch managed to convince Wedge to accompany them back to Coruscant, Wedge soon managed to escape from his captors and return to Corellia. (LF1)

Tito
Made famous in a series of holo-videos from Adarlon, this boy could not speak. Despite this handicap, Tito single-handedly freed his planet from tyranny. (GG6)

Tito
This was one of the Flakax goons who worked for The Directors, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Tito and Yugi were dispatched to assassinate Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, but they were incapacitated by the Solos before they could complete the mission. After he was captured, it was Tito who alerted the Solos to a plot by the Colony to launch a series of ships to the homeworlds of insectile races across the galaxy. Each ships carried at assault force of Killiks that would sweep into a planetary capital and stage a military coup. After he told his story, Tito was allowed to return to The Directors, where he took out his aggression on Krafte and Seneki before trying to kill the other Squibs. (DN3)

Titon
This was the name given to the female leviathan calf, born in the oceans of Dorumaa around the time of the Battle of Naboo. Many beings hoped that Titon and its sibling, Jessel, had been simply abandoned by their mother after their birth, but it was later learned that the mother had died in labor. The Alliance for the Creation of Habitable Environments monitored the growth and development of the calves, hoping to preserve what they believed were the only two leviathan's left in Dorumaa's seas. In order to keep track of Titon's movements, researchers attached a tracking beacon to her skin. (LFCW, DC)

Titroxinate
This was one of the most potent neurotoxins in existence during the height of the Clone Wars. (MBS)

Tiu Zax
This female Omwati was one of the new breed of Jedi Knights who were trained in the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Her elevation to the rank of Knight occurred just before Thrackan Sal-Solo again attempted to secede the Corellian System from the Galactic Alliance, some ten years after the end of the war. She was assigned a role as part of Team Tauntaun, in support of a mission to prevent the secession. However, the Corellian leadership was made aware of the mission, and laid a series of traps for the Jedi. Team Tauntaun was caught in one such trap, and was unable to communicate with the other teams. Tiu Zax agreed to remain behind, allowing Tahiri Veila and Doran Tainer to return while she infiltrated the residence of Sal-Solo, in an attempt to gather as much intelligence as she could. (LF1)

Tiure, Jabba Desilijic
One of the galaxy's most infamous crimelords, Jabba was a slug-like Hutt who controlled nearly all the criminal activities on the planet Tatooine, during the final decades of the Old Republic. He was sired by Zorba the Hutt on the planet Nal Hutta, about 600 years before the Battle of Yavin. Like most Hutts, Jabba had a huge, bloated body that forced him to move about like a slug or snake. However, Jabba was only capable of moving for short distances, and required the use of repulsorlift-equipped conveyances for longer trips. At his largest, Jabba measured 3.9 meters in length. This made Jabba appear immobile and defenseless, but he was mind was swift and cunning, and he was also highly resourceful and devious. Jabba spent part of his early years as a thief and smuggler, before settling down to take over the Desilijic operations. During the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, Jabba was one of many entitied that funded the arming of the Trade Federation's droid armies. Shortly before the onset of the Battle of Geonosis, Jabba sired his own offspring, a Huttlet whom he named Rotta. When Rotta was kidnapped during the Clone Wars, Jabba tried to send a group of bounty hunters to Teth to recover Rotta, unaware that his own uncle, Ziro, was behind the kidnapping. Ziro was working with Count Dooku, who wanted to gain sole knowledge of the Desilijic hyperspace lanes for the Separatists. Ziro simply wanted to eliminate Jabba. The bounty hunters were killed by Asajj Ventress, forcing Jabba to negotiate with Chancellor Palpatine and the Jedi Order to bring Rotta back safely.

During the early years of the New Order, Jabba worked with Ephant Mon, and once saved Ephant's life during an Imperial raid. When his father was imprisoned for improper business conduct, Jabba became the heir apparent to the Desilijic leader, Jiliac. They worked trielessly to expand Desilijic's horizon, but Jiliac's untimely pregnancy stalled Jabba's ambitions. When Durga the Hutt challenged Jiliac to combat under the Old Law, Jabba used the opportunity to assassinate Jiliac's offspring just as the old Hutt was killed by Durga. Jabba the assumed control of Desilijic. At the height of the New Order, Jabba had become the Outer Rim's most notorious crime lords, controlling most of the smuggling, spice shipments, loan sharking, and murders in that territory. He was a major player in the illegal movement of glitterstim spice, and was constantly in powerplays with Moruth Doole over command of the market. Before the Battle of Yavin, Jabba had a working relationship with Han Solo, which centered around the delivery of smuggled spice from Kessel. When Han had to dump a shipment and escape from the Imperials, he could not repay Jabba, and so Jabba placed a death mark on Solo's head. Jabba employed his own set of bounty hunters to find Solo, thus keeping most of the reward money in-house. It was also during this time that Jabba funded Bria Tharen's raids on Ylesia, in an effort to eliminate the Besadii kajidic's spice factories there.

When Boba Fett returned Solo to Jabba after the Battle of Hoth, with Solo's body in a block of frozen carbonite, Jabba was ecstatic, and he had the frozen Solo hung as a wall decoration. This capture of Solo led to a reprisal from Solo's new-found friends on the Alliance, and Jabba was killed when he tried to have Solo and Luke Skywalker put to death in the belly of the Sarlacc which resided in the Great Pit of Carkoon. Luke used the Force and a little luck to rescue Han, while Princess Leia strangled Jabba with the chain he kept linked around her neck. Following Jabba's demise, no one could find his will, and his palace was left empty. It was overrun with Ranats, until Zorba the Hutt returned to take ownership of it and Jabba's other possessions. Much of Jabba's criminal organization remained intact for a few years, although it began to splinter as relatives assumed control of various aspects of it. Some parts of Jabba's empire remained viable for decades, and continued to generate credits for the Desilijic clan even after the Second Galactic Civil War. (E4, E6, ZHR, EGC, GG7, TPS, THG, RD, SWI62, NEGC, UVG, CWN, FJ1)

Tiure, Jocoro Desilijic
This Hutt crimelord, a member of the same kajidic as Jabba, operated a small criminal empire from a base on Du Hatta, in the years following the Battle of Endor. (SWI67)

Tiure, Pazda Desilijic
This ancient, gray-bearded Hutt, distinguished by the green stripe running down his back, was Jabba's uncle. Pazda was outraged with Borga the Hutt for forming an alliance with the Yuuzhan Vong, and warned the younger Hutt that no good would come from any alliance with the invaders. (JE)

Tiure, Zorba Desilijic
Zorba was Jabba the Hutt's father, a huge Hutt with stringy white hair and a white beard. The fact that he had hair at all, let alone a full head and beard's worth, made Zorba something of a mutant among his fellow Hutts. He kept his hair braided, in order to keep it from falling into his face. Zorba was 400 years old when he birthed Jabba, and taught Jabba everything he could about the politics of Nal Hutta's criminal organizations. Just as ruthless and conniving as Jabba, Zorba was imprisoned on Kip for illegally mining ulikuo gemstones when Jabba was killed on Tatooine. When Zorba was set free by a group of pirates who attacked Kip, he returned to Tatooine, hoping to join his son's empire. It was later discovered that Zorba's escape had been engineered by Ysanne Isard, in an effort to recapture Cloud City. When Zorba found that Jabba had been killed by Princess Leia, he immediately sought her out for revenge. On this path, he won Cloud City from Lando Calrissian in a rigged sabacc match. He then tried to swap the Jedi Prince Ken for Princess Leia, who was being held by Trioculus. Leia and Ken escaped, and Zorba had Trioculus entombed in carbonite. After capturing Leia on Hologram Fun World, Zorba tried to take her to the Great Pit of Carkoon, on Tatooine, to feed her to the Sarlacc. He was intercepted by the Grand Moffs, who unfroze Trioculus, captured Leia, and then threw Zorba into the Sarlacc Pit. Fortunately for Zorba, the Sarlacc spit him out. (ZHR, MMY, QE, ECH, HNN4, NEGC, WOTC)

TIV Z590/1
This Old Republic traffic interdiction vessel was part of the naval forces that supported the Grand Army of the Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. This craft was piloted by the clone trooper known as Sicko, and was the point vessel in an ambush of a Separatist freighter in the Tynnan Sector, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. The TIV Z590/1 was disabled when the Separatist vessel identified them as Republic forces, and Sicko remained behind to wait for Omega Squad to board the Separatist vessel. However, Omega Squad was stranded on the other vessel, and the rescue mission couldn't arrive in time. Sicko died when the TIV Z590/1 was destroyed by the Separatist forces. The wreckage was later recovered by the crew of the Republic assault ship Majestic. (RCTZ)

TIV Z766/2
This traffic intervention vessel, or TIV, was one of many that were used by the Grand Army of the Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The ship was originally a Neimoidian picket vessel, used to monitor starship traffic on Cato Neimoidia. The ship was captured by the Old Republic and was later assigned to the Null-class ARC Trooper Prudii and his clone commando counterpart, Atin, during their mission to sabotage the droid production facility on Olanet.

Tivvik, Fal
This Yuuzhan Vong served as an advisor to Yoog Skell, during the years before the aliens invaded the galaxy. She was Escalated by Ch'Gang Hool, but the Escalatier Ceremony resulted in a "flaw" in her transformation. Fal Tivvik was relegated to the Shamed Ones, although Yoog Skell later blamed Ch'Gang Hool's incompetence - rather than the disfavor of the True Gods - for her disfigurement. (DW)

Ti'wyn, Diss
This Bothan was a pilot in the Blackmoon Squadron, during the period surrounding the Battle of Coruscant. A Lieutenant at the time, Diss agreed with his commanding officer, Yaown Reth, that both General Wedge Antilles and Commander Eldo Davip were insane for allowing the Lusankya to be destroyed in battle. Neither pilot realized the true nature of the work being done on the Super-class Star Destroyer. (EL2)

Tiy, Burellion
This Sullustan worked in the Outer Rim Territories as a used starships salesbeing. He made a living buying used ships from SoroSuub Corporation and then making them available at enticing prices to the general public. Like many Sullustans, Tiy felt that SoroSuub needed to break away from the Empire and support the Alliance. He eventually became an Alliance operative, using his contacts within SoroSuub to gather Imperial military intelligence during his travels. He then arranged to turn this information over to the Alliance. His hatred of the Empire was strong, and he once sold an Imperial garrison a group of sabotaged patrol ships. The ships gave off electromagnetic signatures that told their ships' sensors that there were X-Wings in the area. To his delight, the Imperials increased their patrols and their defenses in a virtually barren area of space. (CRO)

Tiz
This man was one of the many soldiers who served in the Galactic Alliance Guard, during the Alliance's conflict with The Confederation. Tiz was part of the small contingent assigned to Major Serpa during the GAG mission to "protect" the Jedi training facility on Ossus, a mission sanctioned by Jacen Solo. Tiz was on guard duty when Alema Rar arrived at Ossus, and was eaily taken in by her use of the Force to affect his mind. (LF6)

Tizon
This Koornacht Cluster planet was one of the original twelve Duskhan League worlds. (SOL)

tizo'pil Yun'tchilat
Known as the Day of Comprehending the Will of the Gods, the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat was one of the most important rituals of the Yuuzhan Vong who invaded the galaxy. It was during the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat that the dhuryams which had been grown aboard Ch'Gang Hool's seedship were to determine which was to be the World Brain to be installed on Coruscant. The dhuryams had been trained to use whatever resources were available to them to maintain a complex ecosystem in The Nursery, and the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat required them to use most of those same resources to defeat the other dhuryams. Only the last, surviving dhuryam would become the World Brain. To ensure that slaves were not used to artificially influence the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat, Yuuzhan Vong warriors protected the central hub of the Nursery. Other warriors used shreeyam'tiz to further interfere with the link between the dhuryams and the slave seeds placed in the bodies of their slaves. Ideally, the dhuryams would determine their own fate, with only one dhuryam surviving to become the World Brain. Any slaves that had remained alive were executed by the Yuuzhan Vong, and the seedship was broken into a large number of smaller seedships by the dhuryam, for more effective dispersal of biological material to the target planet. When the Yuuzhan Vong tried to seed Coruscant, they were unaware of the motives of Jacen Solo, who had been aboard the seedship at the insistance of Nom Anor, who was working with Vergere to turn Solo to the True Way. As the dhuryams grew, Jacen befriended one of them, establishing a mutually beneficial relationship that helped the dhuryam outperform its brethern. However, during the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat, Jacen's efforts would have destroyed all the dhuryams - the last genetic descendents of the original World Brain on Yuuzhan'tar - if Vergere had not stepped in. Vergere pleaded with Jacen to to kill his new friend, the one surviving dhuryam, and Jacen relented. The dhuryam was installed on Coruscant, now renamed Yuuzhan'tar, and began to reshape the planet in the image of the longlost homeworld. It retained a vestige of its relationship with Jacen, and later agreed to help him monitor the Yuuzhan Vong's progress on Coruscant. (T)

Tizowyrm
This small, grub-like creature was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong to act as a decoder. Each tizowyrm was 3-5 centimeters in length, and kept in a small coffer. When a Yuuzhan Vong needed to be able to understand and communicate with an alien species, they would insert a tizowyrm into their ear. The tizowyrm would crawl inside and lodge itself near the brain, where it would intercept the sounds of communication and store data. Each tizowyrm could store an immense amount of data as well as perform incredibly-fast, real-time manipulation of the information it received. This allowed the tizowyrm to subliminally provide the Yuuzhan Vong using it with information on how to communicate with the other species. However, the tizowyrm tired after prolonged use, and could literally vibrate itself to death if it wasn't taken out to rest. (VP)

Tizzin, Dane
This Imperial officer was just a Lieutenant when he was placed in charge of a TIE Fighter maintenance bay. Among those working for him were the parents of the woman known as Sapphire. Tizzin was generally incompetent, however, and his lack of ability resulted in an explosion in the fighter bay. Tizzin himself was out of the bay at the time of the explosion, despite the fact that he was on-duty. His family connections within the Empire managed to remove any culpability on his part and saved his career, blaming the incident on Sapphire's parents. He later was appointed to the position of Commodore, and served as an attache to the Moff of Kira Sector. (CRO, SS)

TJH-3

This armored droid worked with Gaib, during the height of the Clone Wars. They considered themselves to be tech hunters, specializing in acquiring information or technology for their employers. TK-0, distinguished by its dome-shaped cranium, provided the computing power to sift through records and data in search of transactions, as well as providing access to local computer networks. The pair provided assistance to the clone commandos Mereel and Ordo, during their search for Ko Sai. The information Gaib and TK-0 were able to discover tracked the purchase of high-tech devices and systems for an illegal cloning facility to Dorumaa, giving the clones a location to search for the Kaminoan scientist. Gaib and TK-0 also helped to acquire upgraded weaponry for the clone's freighter, the Aay'han. (RCTC, CWN)

TK-421
ID number of the stormtrooper sent to guard the Millennium Falcon as it rested in the first Death Star. He was disabled by Han and Luke when they slipped out of the ship. Luke Skywalker later donned this stormtrooper's armor, during the search for Princess Leia Organa in detention block AA-23. Note that this stormtrooper's designation was noted as TX-421 in the Marvel Comics adaptation of Star Wars: A New Hope. Also note that the Star Wars Trading Game - A New Hope expansion set claims TK-421 was a clone. (E4, MC4, TCG3)

TK-422
This was the identification number of the stormtrooper was TK-421's partner.

TK-622
This was the callsign of one of the Imperial stormtroopers who was dispatched to maintain order on the planet Ralltiir, during the months just prior to the Battle of Yavin. Two years earlier, TK-622 saved the life of Commander Akobi, and Akobi showed his gratitude by ensuring that TK-622 got promoted to new positions whenever he was moved. The pair honed their combat skills together, and developed an innate trust of each other's abilities. After his entire squad was ambushed and killed by Ralltiiri rebels, TK-622 questioned the doctrines of the Empire in his next meeting with Akobi. A Sergeant at the time, TK-622 was again forced to put his life on the line when a hidden thermal detonator went off near them. Shortly afterward, Akobi was transferred to a posting on the first Death Star, and TK-622 went with him. Upon arrival, TK-622 discovered a sabotaged RA-7 protocol droid, again saving Akobi's life. His investigation led him to the discovery that the droid's command programming had been altered by an Alliance agent. After another droid claimed the life of Commander Akobi, TK-622 tracked down the saboteur, one of the rebels who fought against the Empire on Ralltiir. As the two struggled, the Alliance launched its attack on the Death Star. As he reaffirmed his own belief in the Empire, TK-622 was killed when the battle station was destroyed in the Battle of Yavin. (SWESL)

TL-118
Known as the StarHammer, this was Subpro's short-range attack fighter, developed during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It measured 35 meters in length, and required a pilot and gunner to operate. Its weaponry included a pair of light laser cannons, a pair of twin laser cannons, a concussion missile launcher, and a bomb bay, making it capable of taking on heavy assault missions. Subpro planned to market the starship to either the Alliance or the Empire, whichever bid the highest. The TL-118 was capable of travelling through hyperspace, but was equipped with a slow Class 3 hyperdrive. The Empire rejected the design, and the Alliance couldn't afford it, so Subpro sold the remaining ships to the highest bidders, which often was local militias or planetary defense fleets. (IA)

TL-1200
This was one of the TL-series of freighters produced by Suwantek Systems. The spear-shaped TL-1200 measured some fifty-two meters in length, was armed with a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons, and required a crew of three officers and two gunners to operate. It could accommodate up to six passengers in comfort. (TF)

TL-1800
A Suwantek Systems starship design, the TL-1800 was a 30-meter-long craft which typical of most commercial freighters. It was lightly armed, poorly shielded, and slow. It was sometimes referred to as a "Waddle" by starship captains. Despite its appearance and perception, the TL-1800 was a reliable craft, especially after Suwantek replaced the Portal Delta nav computer with a more reliable Fabritech model. The TL-1800 required a pilot and co-pilot to operate, and could transport up to seven passengers and 110 metric tons of cargo, depending on the interior configuration. An additional 300 metric tons of cargo space could be realized with the addition of cargo pods. The TL-1800 was armed with a pair of laser cannons. (SS, A)

TL3
This was the model number of Neuro-Saav's miniature holo-imaging package, designed for use on a droid.

TL-4
This series of tailor droids was produced during the early years of the New Order. (AIR)

Tla
This Yuuzhan Vong was the Commander of the battle fleet which destroyed Obroa-skai and then attempted to have Elan infiltrate the Jedi Knights. He assumed command of the fleet after the deaths of Shedao Shai and Deign Lian at Ithor, but was forced to work with Harrar and the priests. Tla agreed with the plan to have the priestess Elan pose as a defector, but the plan's failure led to the death of Elan and the loss of Vergere. When the mission was reviewed with supreme commander Nas Choka, Tla was removed from his command of the invasion fleet and reassigned to the Outer Rim. (HT)

He was angry and confused when the Jedi arrived on Charros IV to question him about it, then tried to escape when the Jedi linked his work to the Trade Federation and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Jedi managed to recapture him, and t'laalak-s'lalak-t'th'ak revealed that the mechno-chair had been brought to Charros IV by someone other than Gunray or his cronies. Although t'laalak-s'lalak-t'th'ak didn't know the being's name, he was able to tell the Jedi that the hyperwave transceiver in the mechno-chair had come from Escarte. (LEV)

This race of sentients was distantly related to the Hutts, although they had a very different physiology. Native to Nal Hutta, the t'landa Til race resembled the Berrite race, having a stout body supported by four thick legs. However, the t'landa Til were much larger than Berrites, standing about two meters tall at the shoulder. Their heads were attached to their bodies by a short, humped neck, and their legs ended with huge, padded feet. Their skin was thick and oily, and hung from their huge bodies in heavy folds and wrinkles. The t'landa Til also had two thin arms which ended in four delicate fingers, and speciallized glands at their elbows exuded an odorous oil which protected their skin. Their bodies ended in thin, whiplike tails that they carried curled atop their backs. They enjoyed keeping their skin moist by immersing themselves in mudpits, alleviating the burden of carrying their immense bulk on their short legs. They also slept in specially-designed hammocks that support them without the need for a bed. t'landa Tils had two separate hearts and three separate stomachs. (TPS, THG, SHPT)

T'less was one of the few Shamed Ones who lived independently, away from groups like that led by Vuurok I'pan. Like the other Shamed ones, though, T'less believed that the Jedi Knights were not abominations, but saviors of the Shamed Ones and symbols of the new ideology which should be embraced by the Yuuzhan Vong. For this reason, their band remained small, in case they were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. This ensured that their small cult of Jedi followers would never be fully discovered. (FH1)

TLG

Although the crime had been committed by the Imperial agent known as X-7, all the evidence T'lin and his team found pointed to Han Solo as the perpetrator. T'lin found two kilograms of detonite in Solo's quarters, and confronted him about the explosion. Solo denied any involvement in the incident, and claimed that he was being framed. (RF3)

Tlo, Dorn
This Kel Dor was a noted member of the Baran Do Sages. Dorn Tlo was chosen to brief Luke Skywalker and the new Jedi Order on the Baran Do view of the Force, including the belief that the Force was not a one-sided thing.

Zinn Toa, along with Wee Dunn, were taken to a secret testing facility on Mustafar, where Darth Sidious hoped to surgically alter the children to become Dark Side slaves. Before any experiments could take place, however, Zinn Toa and Wee Dunn were rescued from Mustafar by Anakin Skywalker Ahsoka Tano. The secret facility was destroyed, though, and the Jedi were left without any clue as to who had created it. (CWTV25)

Toba
This Gungan scout made regular trips to the city of Theed, as part of his duties to the Gungan Grand Army. Toba was the son of Neesada Bari and Bullba, and was the bravest of all his siblings. In fact, it was said that Toba hitched a ride on the tail of an Opee Sea Killer as a youth. On several missions, Toba had the opportunity to meet with the students at the Royal House of Learning, and eventually made friends with many students. A curious young Gungan, Toba was in Theed when the Trade Federation invaded the planet Naboo, and was caught in the city. Instead of trying to return to Otoh Gunga, Toba lent his skills and resources to the Naboo Underground. He later fought alongside Jar Jar Binks during the Battle of Naboo. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Toba purchased and modifed the B'zabuu-class transport known as the Sea Killer, and helped the Gungans settle the moon of Ohma'Dun. He was later accepted into the Naboo Space Fighter Corps, flying G-1 starfighters in the Iron Cesta Flight. After two years of active duty, Toba retired from the military and took up the life of an independent spacer. (IOT, WOTC)

Toba
This name, which meant "laughs loudly", was common among Gungan males. (GCG)

Tobal Lens
Developed by Renatta Racing Systems, a Tobal lens was an oval crystal about the size of a human head. The internal matrix of the crystal reflected and refracted light and heat into a powerful beam of swirling colors, providing the photonic energy necessary to power Renatta's needle ships. While not very expensive, Tobal lenses were difficult to locate on the open market, and this lack of replacement parts eventually drove Renatta out of business. The Tobal lens, if not handled carefully by the installer, could blind a being for hours if viewed directly. When properly shaped, installed and calibrated, a Tobal lens could convert heat to light at close to one hundred percent efficiency, making it a near-perfect energy source to power the photon drives of the needle ship. (TG, LLOW)

Tobb, Narka
A frequent opponent of Lando Calrissian's at sabacc, it was Tobb that Lobot remembered the most. Once, during a match in which Sarra Dolas sat with Tobb instead of Calrissian, Lando actually folded a hand he couldn't win and opted not to bluff his way out. Lobot remembered it, for it was the only time he coudl remember the gambler not bluffing. (TT)

Tobyl and Jat'ho were part of the GAG squad that captured Ben Skywalker and Lon Shevu, in the weeks following the Second Battle of Fondor. However, they were not prepared for the arrival of Jaina Solo and Leia Organa Solo, who used the Force to make the two guards believe they were undercover GAG agents. The two Jedi managed to convince the GAG guards to let them take a medwagon, which they used to pursue the Doomsled that carried Ben and Lon away from the scene. (LF9)

Toc, Simol
This man, who was born on Dellalt, made his living as a merchant and caravan leader on the planet Endregaad during the early years of the New Order.

Tod, Kass
This young, female Zabrak was one of the many Jedi Padawans who were part of the task force dispatched to the planet Jabiim, during the height of the Clone Wars. Under the command of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Kass and her small force remained behind the main battle lines, until the main force managed to overrun the main weapons emplacement of the Jabiim rebels. Obi-Wan then ordered Kass to cut off any rebel retreat along the flanks of the main Republic line. After her Master was killed in battle, Kass rejoined the group of surviving Padawans and tried to get back to the main Republic outpost. One of the few things that kept her going was her love for Mak, who served as her pillar of strength. When the surviving Padawans banded together in an effort to stop the advance of Alto Stratus, Kass and Mak fought bravely for four days before cornering Stratus on the battlefield. Kass managed to severe Stratus' right leg before a Hailfire droid fired its rockets at the Jedi. Before they could finish Stratus off, Mak and Kass were killed in a fiery explosion. (RBJ)

Toda
This surly, blue-skinned Tammuz-an ruled over most of the planet Tammuz-an during the early years of the Empire. He assumed control when the crown-prince Mon Julpa was lost, unaware that Mon Julpa had been beguiled by Zatec-Cha and dumped on Tyne's Horky. Lord Toda was a military genius, and held Tammuz-an in a state of martial law until Mon Julpa returned. At first, Toda refused to relinquish control to Mon Julpa, but they agreed to meet and discuss a cease-fire. It was then that the pirate gang of Gir Kybo Ren-Cha attacked Tammuz-an, kidnapping Toda's daughter Gerin in the process. After Jann Tosh and his droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, managed to rescue Gerin, Toda agreed to work out a peaceful resolution with Mon Julpa. (DCAR, SWDB)

Todo 360
This fidgety techno-service droid was owned by Cad Bane, during the era of the Clone Wars. During Bane's attempt to steal a holocron from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, Todo 360 was modified to take part in the mission. Bane programmed into the droid the security schematics of the Jedi Temple, which he had received from Darth Sidious. Bane also installed a group of detailed maps of the Temple, which he had also received from Sidious. With the help of Cato Parasitti, the trio was able to enter the Temple virtually undetected. The Jedi believed that Parasitti was actually Jedi Master Ord Eniscence, and allowed her to have access to the Temple computer system. She was able to feed more detailed information to Todo 360, which the droid used to gain access to a chamber near the Temple's communication's center. Cad Bane had the droid cut an access hole into the communications chamber, hoping to throw off the pursuit of any Jedi who followed them. He then activated a bomb he had hidden inside Todo 360, and sent the droid into the communications center. Inside, Jedi Master Mace Windu detected the bomb and used the Force to shove Todo 360 away, and the bomb exploded in an antechamber. Bane himself used the distraction to steal the holocron and make his escape, while Todo 360 was destroyed in the explosion. (CWTV23)

Tof
This species of green-skinned humanoids was native to the planet Tof, may have been located betond the galactic rim. The average Tof was quite rotund, and was devoid of morals and compassion. Tof society was ruled by a hereditary monarchy, and young royals were often made military leaders as a sort of education for their future duties. The Tofs were the sworn enemies of the Nagai, and they eventually conquered the Nagai more than 300 years before the Battle of Bakura. It was the Tofs who broke up the Hiromi victory party on Zeltros and captured the insectoids, shortly after the Battle of Endor. The Tofs had been chasing a group of Nagai, and followed them into the galaxy to Saijo. They later tried to overtake the galaxy after subjugating Zeltros, but were put down by the combined might of the New Republic, the Nagai, and the remnants of the Empire. Like their bitter rivals the Nagai, the Tofs were used by Lumiya as part of a plan to overthrow the New Republic, until they were defeated at Saijo and left powerless.

The facility was destroyed when the New Republic launched its assault on Moff Kentor Sarne's stronghold on Kal'Shebbol, and Brophar was left with nothing. When the call went out for crewmen to join the team of the FarStar, Brophar joined up to work on the ship and exact a measure of revenge against Sarne. He also hoped that service aboard the FarStar would help him achieve his dream of seeing the galaxy before he died. He maintained his own ship, the Muvon, and brought it with him inside the FarStar's hangar bay. Brophar was fond of giving advice, whether it was asked for or not. However, after the ship was stolen by Gorak Khzam, he became surly and short-tempered. (DARK, KO, KR)

Toggan
This Imperial Moff was the governor of the planet Quellor, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. He tried to maintain a tight reign over the stormtroopers in his command, especially when anti-Imperial rallies began taking place around the planet. When a rally formed in Terrina Square, some time before the Battle of Hoth, Moff Toggan ordered the troopers to hold their fire unless he specifically gave the order. Despite his command, the stormtroopers opened fire when an image of Emperor Palpatine was burned in effigy. All the protesters were quickly killed in the hail of blaster fire. (RESB)

Togoria
A planet in the Thanos system, Togoria was the homeworld of the Togorian race. It was a world of grassy plains and rolling hills, the result of steadily decreasing tectonic activity. It had a vast store of untapped natural resources, a fact that guarded by the Togorians. The planet's gravity was somewhat less than standard. During the height of the Clone Wars, Togoria was captured by General Grievous, and became a Separatist outpost. (GG4, TPS, MIS8, SWI86)

Togorian
This harsh language was spoken by the Togorian race. (UANT)

Togorian
A race of bipedal feline aliens from Togoria, the Togorians were distinguished by their long, sinewy limbs and well-muscled bodies. They were equally comfortable moving through a forest or running across an open plain. Their hands and feet were studded with heavy claws, which were retractable on the hands, and which provided evidence of their tree-climbing ancestors. When a Togorian met a friend or potential ally, the claws were retracted into the hands as a sign of peace. They regularly fed on bist and etelo herds, but were the favored prey of the reptilian liphons. The Togorians soon realized that they shared this trait with the mosgoths, and they formed a relationship which provided mutual protection as well as friendship. The Togorian society was matriarchal, with the males and females only seeing each other for a few days each year. The males spent their days wandering the plains and hunting for food, while the females stayed in the cities and tend to their businesses. The Togorians had a limited technology, including a solar technology maintained by the females, although they were fond of high-tech devices. The Togorian society was presided over by the Margrave, a position held by a male of a certain family line. However, the Margrave was rarely the public leader many believed him to be. Instead, the Margrave's closest female relative was chosen to live in the capital of Caross and interact with other governmental leaders. (DFRSB, MIS8)

Togorian Belladonna
A fragrance of perfume favored by the bounty hunter Zardra. (TM, OS)

Togot

Togri
This Mobquet transport was part of the Imperial supply fleet that was ambushed by the Alliance before it could rendezvous with the Corrupter. The Alliance tried to force the Imperial-II class Star Destroyer out of battle by cutting off its supply lines. (XWA)

Togruta
Native to the planet Shili, this humanoid race distinguished by the immense, striped horns - known as montrals - that sprouted from each side of their head. Three draping appendages ringed the lower part of their skulls, with one draping over each shoulder and a third hanging down the back. The coloration of these head-tails - which were similer to the lekku of a Twi'lek - evolved as a form of camouflage, with a striped pattern that confused predators that hunted the Togruta. Unlike the head-tails of a Twi'lke, however, the montrals of the Togruta were hollow, providing the Togruta with a way to gather information about their environment ultrasonically.

Many beings believed that the Togrutas were venomous, a belief that stemmed from the fang-like appearance of their front teeth, but this was not true. This belief was started when an individual first witnessed a Togruta feeding on a thimiar, which writhed in its death throes as if poisoned after being bitten. However, instead of injecting their prey with poison, Togrutas preferred to consume their prey while it was still alive.

On their homeworld, Torguta lived in dense tribes that had strong community ties. All members of the tribe were expected to work for the betterment of the tribe, including hunting and gathering. This expectation included the youth of each tribe, and any individual who could not pace with the rest of the tribe was left behind to die.

Many xenobiologists believed that the Togruta civilization was an ancient one, as there were records of Togruta being members of the Jedi Order at the time of its formation, some 25,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. The Togruta were believed to have evolved from pack animals, as evidenced by their "survival of the fittest" mentality. (TCG1, VD2, SWDB, PJSB, NEGA, CWN)

Togruti
This was the native language of the Togruta people. It consisted of trills, long vowels sounds, and subtle movements of the Togruta head-tails. (PJSB, UANT)

Tohno
This beautiful woman was one of the many Jedi Masters who were pressed into duty as field Generals during the Clone Wars. Although she was not much younger than Anakin Skywalker at the time, she was paired with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi during the assault on Zaadja, some eighteen years after the Battle of Geonosis. It was Master Tohno's part in the mission to infiltrate the Separatist fortress and destroy it, which Obi-Wan and Anakin worked with their clone trooper squadrons to create a diversion. She was chosen for the mission because her studies with her previous Master had centered on architecture and engineering, skills that allowed her to understand the unique buildings of Zaadja and get inside when others could figure out the correct pathways, then set explosives in positions that would bring the entire structure down swiftly. She managed to get inside the fortress, but discovered an entire nest of Geonosians waiting for her. With the Force, she managed to get past them, but was seen by a sentry before she could set the explosives. She ordered the others to remain outside, despite the fact that her success in the mission would mean her own death. Although Anakin tried to rescue her, Tohno convinced that he needed to let her go in order to fulfill this mission. She needed to come to peace with her death on her own terms, not with unnecessary deaths included. Anakin reluctantly cut off his pursuit, and although she was attacked by a squad of Geonosians, Master Tohno was able to set off the explosives she carried. The fortress was destroyed, and the mission was completed successfully, but Anakin continued to struggle the need for so many Jedi to sacrifice themselves to the war. (RFY)

Tohvar, Fahjani
This Herglic was noted in the history of the planet Giju. (UANT)

Toi
This was the name of one of the two umrachs kept by Yuuzhan Vong master Shaper Gengi Tung as a pet and guardian. (CCW)

Tojj
This Wookiee clan was noted for its leadership and strength. (LF6)

Tojjelnoot
This Wookiee was a member of the Rock Council, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Like other members of the Tojj clan, Tojjelnoot held a serious grudge against Chewbacca's family, after Chewbacca was challenged by Tojjevvuk for the right to marry Mallatobuck. Tojjevvuk died in the challenge, and the Tojj clan vowed for decades to kill Chewbacca to avenge their fallen son.

As the leader of the Rock Council, Tojjelnoot was known in the Basic language as Old Tojjelnoot. His clan's grudge against Chewbacca did not cease when Chewbacca was killed at Sernpidal, and seemed to extend to Han Solo as well.

This issue came to a head when the Galactic Alliance entered its war against The Confederation, a conflict in which the Wookiees chose to remain neutral. Han and Leia Solo traveled to Kashyyyk on a secret mission to convince the Wookiees to remain neutral or even secede, in part because of the way their son, Jacen, was handling the war. On the Council Rock, the other members of the council were forced to restrain Tojjelnoot, and assured the Solos that Tojjelnoot's grudge would not affect their decision. However, in keeping with tradition, Leia was forced to try and take the Talking Bone from Tojjelnoot in order to speak. Although she used the Force during their first bout, Leia was allowed a second chance, and earned the right by herself.

Her surreptitious use of the Force to keep Tojjelnoot from falling too hard also earned her his respect, and when other Wookiees tried to drown her out with their bellows, Tojjelnoot took the Talking Bone and struck them with it. He then passed the bone back to Leia and let her continue. (LF6)

Tojjevvuk
This rare, albino Wookiee was a member of the Tojj clan who was born around the same time as Chewbacca. In previous generations, an albino Wookiee would have been left in the lower levels of Kashyyyk's forest to be eaten by another predator, since white fur stood out against the forest background of the wroshyr trees. However, Tojjevvuk's father Tvrrdko would not let his son be killed, and Tojjevvuk was brought up with the protection of his family, and grew to maturity. Tojjevvuk threatened Chewbacca, shortly after learning that Chewbacca had been courting Mallatobuck. Tojjevvuk believed that he was more worthy of her and challenged Chewbacca to a fight, even though it broke the rules of honor among the Wookiees. Chewbacca maneuvered Tojjevvuk into the lower levels of the forest, where the albino Wookiee was caught and killed by one of the jungle predators.

Outwardly, the Tojj clan accepted Tojjevvuk's fate, but their anger toward Chewbacca's clan continued for many decades, and eventually extended to the Solo family through Chewbacca's life-debt to Han Solo. (C, LF6)

Tok
This tree produced a large nut that could be harvested and dried. The shell of a tok nut was quite thick, and was often hard to crack open. Once extracted from the shell, the tok nut could be dry roasted and served as a snack food, or it could be ground into a thick, butter-like paste. (LSSM)

Tok, Begas
A native of the planet Entralla, this crimelord suddenly found himself in possession of the Shard of Alderaan computer program, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Distinguished by his wheezing method of speaking, Tok arranged to hold an auction aboard the Dune Princess, hoping that his friendship with Heater would provide him a measure of protection against Jabba the Hutt. Tok was known for his sabacc parties, although he lost more often than he won. Tok owned Jabba a large sum of credits, and hoped to pay off the debt by selling the Shard of Alderaan. Knowing what the program was, Tok invited members of the Alliance and the Empire to participate in the auction, as well as several independent interests. Unfortunately for Tok, the Dune Princess encountered a huge sandstorm and was grounded. During the resulting confusion, he lost control of the datapad which held the code for the Shard of Alderaan. The computer program was lost, and Tok was eventually executed by Jabba's henchmen. (LAA, SWJ3, OWS)

Tok, Bengis
This being was a noted crimelord of the New Order. (SWJ2)

Tok, Doln
This male Kel Dor worked as a masseuse at the Rose Nebula on Coruscant, during the early years of the New Republic. He was known among the clientele as one of the most dexterous massage therapists on the planet, having learned the trade from his employer, Rava Teb'lya. Teb'lya was initially hesitant to hire him, since Tok was heavily in debt after a string of bad gambling outings. She took a chance on the young Kel Dor, and her patience was well-rewarded. Doln Tok became one of the Rose Nebula's most requested masseuses, and he eventually earned his own special chamber, where he could remove his breath mask and breathe normally. Although he held no loyalty to Teb'lya, Tok was dedicated to his trade, especially when it spawned a lucrative side job. Many of his clients spoke of their business or political dealings while getting their massages, aespecially after Rok used his minor connection to the Force to soothe their minds and put them completely at ease. Tok later passed this information along to Teb'lya, who paid him handsomely and later profitted herself from selling it to her comrades. (UA)

Tok, Hogar
see Tok, Shogar (J2)

Tok, Shogar
A native of Brentaal IV, this man was the theater Commander of the Separatist forces which took control of Brentaal, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. A tall, well-muscled man who kept his white hair long and braided into a thick ponytail, Commander Tok chafed at commanding his forces from a distance. He longed to be at the front lines, but Count Dooku wanted him alive, so that he could continue to rally the people of Brentaal against the Republic's forces. Tok's base of operations was in the prison facility on Brentaal, which the Separatists converted into an easily-defended fortress. A concerted attack by the Jedi Knights seemed doomed from the start, since much of the intelligence used to plan the attack had come from Separatist espionage agents. Jedi Master Shaak Ti, along with Quinlan Vos and a single clone trooper, managed to gain the confidence of three prisoners - Sagoro Autem, Lyshaa, and Ryyk - eventually defeated Tok's forces and liberated the planet. During the fight, Tok and Master Ti fought briefly, before the lightsaber of the wounded Jedi pierced Tok through the chest. Jerrod Maclain was installed as the new governor of Brentaal, replacing Arcel Mosbree, who was arrested for his part in opening Brentaal to the Separatists. (SWI70, J2, NECH)

Toka
A primitive race native to the Rafa System, it was thought that the Toka were the descendants of the Sharu race, given that they held so many of the Sharu legends in reverence. The Toka lived in the ancient Sharu buildings on Rafa V, and their society and religion were based on the Sharu legends and histories. Rokur Gepta learned that the Toka, like the humans who inhabited the Rafa System, arrived there from other systems a long time ago. The Toka were believed to have arrived first, and made the first contacts with the Sharu. This contact was broken when the Sharu mysteriously disappeared, and the Toka were badly affected ever since. This disappearance of the Sharu supposedly accounted for the Toka's lack of intelligence and inability to advance technologically, and thus the Toka were dubbed the Broken People. Since the disappearance of the Sharu, the Toka became fairly simple-minded, and existed only to tend the life-orchards of the Rafa System, growing the beautiful and potent life-crystals. Through Osuna Whett, Gepta also learned that the Toka themselves were descended from human stock, withered with apparent age due to their close interaction with the life-crystals. All of this knowledge that was held by Gepta, of course, was proven mere legend when Lando Calrissian and Mohs discover the resting place of the Mindharp on Rafa V. It was then revealed that the Toka were, in actuality, the Sharu themselves. When the Sharu civilization was at its height, the Sharu were terrified by an unknown event. This caused them to begin hiding all record of themselves and their civilization in the huge computer banks found throughout the Rafa System. These computers were disguised as simple buildings. The Sharu also hid themselves from prying eyes by locking away all their knowledge in these computer systems. They developed the life-crystals as a way to continualy suck the knowledge and intelligence from succeeding generations, perpetuating the illusion of the ignorant Toka. A single Toka from each generation was allowed to maintain some of the ancient knowledge. This Toka, the High Singer, was charged with keeping the legends of the Key and the Mindharp alive until the Bearer and the Emissary returned to the Rafa System. This event would signal to the Mindharp that the threat to the Sharu had passed, and they could emerge from their disguise as the Toka and re-establish themselves. After the Mindharp was activated by Duttes Mer, the Rafa System underwent a huge transformation. The life-orchards were destroyed, and the Toka were restored to their former civilization. It was then discovered that the Toka were most likely descended from human stock. (LCM)

Toka
This was one of the more common names given to males of the Mon Calamari race. To the Mon Calamari, this name referred to an ocean predator which was native to Calamari. (GCG)

Tokare, Vandar
This ancient Jedi Master was one of the many Jedi Masters who served on the Jedi High Council, during the years following the Great Sith War. Master Vandar was believed to be a member of the same species as Jedi Master Yoda, being small in stature and having green skin, and was one of the teachers who administered various training trials to the students. Master Vandar was known to have taken in Lucien Draay for training. Many years later, Vandar traveled to Dantooine, where he determined that Zayne Carrick had just enough sensitivity to the Force to be trained at the satellite school on Taris. He assured Zayne's mother that he would be safe, because the Sith had been soundly defeated and were no longer an issue.

Unfortunately, Master Vandar was unaware of the actions of Lucien Draay and his fellow teachers, and Zayne was labeled as a murderer in the wake of the Padawan Massacre. Master Vandar, however, had his doubts about his former student, and agreed to the promotion of Lucien Draay to the Jedi Council so that the other Jedi Masters could keep track of Draay's activities. In secret, Vandar also arranged a meeting between himself, Master Vrook Lamar, and Alek Squinquargesimus. Alek brought word of Zayne Carrick's experiences on Jebble and Odryn, including a warning about the activities of The Covenant. Master Vandar agreed to meet with Zayne on Coruscant, and brought Master Vrook with him, so that the evidence could not be challenged as the word of a single Jedi Master. The Masters were surprised and shocked to learn that Jedi Master Xamar had reached Zayne first, and threatened to kill the young man with his lightsaber.

During the years following the Mandalorian Wars, Master Vandar was based on the planet Dantooine, until he was given command of the mission to locate and destroy the Star Forge. His company was made up of soldiers as well as Jedi Knights. After the defeat of Darth Malak, Vandar returned to the Jedi Order as a teacher. (KOTOR, KOR1, NEGA, KOR2, KOR8, KOR9)

Tokhlor Tallow
This was the Basic term used to describe the disgusting mixture created from the oils and mucus contained in the body of a tokhlor. The tokhlor was a creature that was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong. When thrown to the ground, a tokhlor exploded in a goopy mess, coating the ground with a film of slime known as tokhlor tallow. This substance was extremely slippery, and could make any surface nearly frictionless. When a pursuer ran over the slippery spot, they were thrown off-balance and often landed face-first on the ground, at which point the Yuuzhan Vong could disable them. Tokhlor tallow was also corrosive, and could eat through body armor and other strong surfaces if not washed away. (GMR8)

Tokin Crab

After the death of Wunka at Holageus, Tokkat returned to his homeworld of the Forest Moon of Endor and became one of Bright Tree Village's most respected hunters. Tokkat also served as the village's unofficial ambassador to the New Republic, since he could understand as well as speak the Basic language. (GMR9, GORW)

Tokkip, Zyru
This man was a native of the planet Chazwa, and served on the Iritsa Civil Guard during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (ND)

Tokks'vik

Toklar
A much-quoted Mon Calamari philosopher, Toklar was one of many Mon Calamari who preached the power of focus and peace. Among his most notable quotes, Toklar once said, "The tide will slacken, the whirlpool will shrink, the krakana will cower. Such was the power of a focused individual." (SOL, NEGC)

Toklar
This was one of the more common names given to males of the Mon Calamari race. To the Mon Calamari, this name was sometimes used as an alternate spelling for Toka. (GCG)

Toklhor
Bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong, this disgusting tick-like creature grew to almost two kilograms in mass. Easily distinguished by their foul smell, tokhlors were swollen with oils and mucus. It was this combination of bodily fluids that the Yuuzhan Vong employed as a way to stopping a pursuer. When thrown to the ground, a tokhlor exploded in a goopy mess, coating the ground with a film of slime known as tokhlor tallow. This substance was extremely slippery, and could make any surface nearly frictionless. When a pursuer ran over the slippery spot, they were thrown off-balance and often landed face-first on the ground, at which point the Yuuzhan Vong could disable them. (GMR8)

Tokmia
This was one of the planets, in addition to Allyuen and Hoth, singled out by Darth Vader as possible hiding places for the Alliance in the Anoat Sector. He ordered probe droids sent there during the months just prior to the Battle of Hoth. Tokmia itself was a tundra world, with vast flatlands covered by snow and ice. A barely sentient race of beings known as the Oku evolved on the planet. Figg Excavations made a fortune from the planet's ores and crystal deposits, and left handouts for the Oku during each operation. When the mines played out, Figg Excavations pulled out of their Tokmia operations. In response, the Oku lit huge fires to act as landing lights, hoping the offworlders would return. (E5R, WOA33)

Toko
A loud, squawking bird native to the planet Paqwepori. (SOL)

To'kursh

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

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

Tol Ado
This world was the third planet orbitting the star Sil'Lume. It sat just on the edge of the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt, and was controlled Imperial Governor Sebastian Parnell during the Galactic Civil War. The average surface temperature on Tol Ado was well over 400 degrees Celsuis, and there was little natural atmosphere. The surface of the planet was formed of black coal, and the meager atmosphere was filled with swirling clouds of black coal dust. From space, Tol Ado appeared to suck up all the light around it, like a swirling black ball. Parnell established a six-billion-cell prison facility on the planet, recognizing that the bleak landscape would only help to strangle the hopes of a prisoner. Parnell installed 124 sensor satellites in orbit around the planet, in order to maintain security on the planet. (JH)

Tol Velmoc Mountains
This range of mountains, located on the planet Velmor, was riddled with caves and crevices. During the height of the New Order, rebels on the planet who resisted the Empire's presence on Velmor used the caves as hiding places. They launched a variety of guerrilla attacks on Imperial bases, and managed to avoid being located. (WOTC)

Tola
This was one of two moons which orbited the planet Merisee. (PG3)

Tola
This Mon Calamari served the Galactic Alliance as a Captain aboard the Admiral Ackbar as a tactical communications officer, acting on the orders of General Nek Bwua'tu during the blockade of the Murgo Choke, about a year after the Qoribu Crisis. When the Gorog assassin bugs hidden inside various spinglass statuary freed themselves and began to attack, Tola was hit from behind by several of the bugs. Admiral Bwua'tu was forced to use the butt of his blaster rifle to kill them, but rendered Tola unconscious with the blows. Tola was taken to the medical bay for treatment. Note that Dark Nest II: The Unseen Queen also refers to Tola as a Lieutenant Commander. (DN2)

Tolan
This planet was the base of the Tracker's Guild. (GMR2)

T'olan
This planet, the primary world in the Wuun System, was one of the many worlds ravaged during the height of the Clone Wars. (LJ1)

Tolan Navy Yards
This Imperial facility was the destination of the Elusive, after it fled the mop-up operation at Dankayo and was pursued by the Bonderium. (SH)

Tolanese
This alien race was native to the planet Tolan. (WSV)

Tolan's Tusk
This thorn-shaped starship was owned by Var'Rotha Fin'Rotha, until he was overtaken by the Gamorrean brothers Gorge and Greel. Fin'Rotha was jettisoned in an escape pod, and the brothers took off with the ship. However, they were inexperienced pilots at best, and ran out of fuel near Reuss VIII. They were forced to crash-land on the planet, and the sharp end of the Tusk disintegrated upon impact. The rest of the ship was more or less intact, and the Gamorreans turned it into The Broken Tusk bar. (WSV)

Tolas
A native of Onderon during the years following the Mandalorian Wars, this man was a forger who made a living providing starport visas for beings without the official means to obtain one. (KOTOR2)

Tolase
This Mandalorian word meant "system" when translated into Basic, although its literal translation was "joined things." (OWS)

Tolea Biqua
This space station was erected in the atmosphere of the planet Genarius, and served as the base of operations for a gas and energy mining corporation. Tolea Biqua was unique among Genarius' floating cities in that its shielding system absorbed the radiation carried up by the storms which raged across Genarius, using the radiation as a source of power to maintain the station.

From a distance, Tolea Biqua was a beautiful jewel hanging in the clouds of Genarius. However, upon closer investigation, it appeared that the city was cobbled together from bits and pieces of every other floating city ever erected in the galaxy. The city was originally build on the orders of Riboga the Hutt, and evolved to become an example of bad taste and excess.

Shortly after the end of the Clone Wars, Tolea Biqua was the site of an intense battle between the Cularin System's military forces and the foces of the Coalition. While the land battle ground to a halt, the battle in space picked up in intensity. The naval forces of Cularin managed to disable the Coalition's lone warship, which plunged into Genarius' atmosphere. The ship then collided with Tolea Biqua, utterly destroying itself and the city. The resulting explosion caused massive instability in Genarius' atmosphere, rendering the planet nearly uninhabitable. (LFC, LFCW, JCT2)

Tolen, Andi
As a young child, this woman was abandoned by her parents on Tatooine. She learned to survive on her own, and claimed to have killed her first man at the age of twelve. Her life became a series of "kill or be killed" episodes, which eventually led her to the bounty hunting profession. She was later hired by Herogga the Hutt, who used her as a messenger and errand girl and rewarded her richly. After several years working for Herogga, Andi set out on her own, but she maintained her loyalty to Herogga and often worked for him as a freelance hunter. She was skilled in tracking her quarry through spaceports as well as wilderness areas, and her short stature and "cute" appearance often disarmed her targets. (WOTC)

Tolen, Jans
This man served the Thaereian Navy as a Captain, commanding the cruiser Stark Wing during the final years of the Old Republic. Captain Tolen and his crew were found dead aboard the Stark Wing by a group of freelance agents who were working for Nirama, during an investigation into the disappearance of several of Nirama's other crews. Tolen and his crew seemed to have gone mad, shooting and killing each other in fear and fright. Tolen himself committed suicide, leaving the rest of the crew to its fate. The freelance agents discovered Captain Tolen's personal logs, which told of the sudden possession of several crew members by strange beings, and the subsequent fear and madness that consumed the crew. Although he had wiped most of the computer records after transmitting them to Thaere, Tolen's crew had not cleared the navigational computer, which allowed the agents to trace the Stark Wing's progress from an asteroid mine controlled by the Metatheran Cartel. It was later learned that the crew had been visited by a shadow lurker that was trying to communicate to them. (BIT2)

Toleph-Sor
This self-styled "pirate general" was rumored to have hidden his treasure deep within the Imperial Palace on Coruscant. (TT)

Tolfranian
An alien race. (LOJ)

Tolga
This Rodian bounty hunter worked for Boddu Bocck during the years following the Battle of Yavin. Tolga was relatively unskilled, but he kep this position with a combination of bluster and bravado. When Bocck was employed by Major Birket to acquire Platt Okeefe and Tru'eb Cholakk, Tolga was ordered to remain on Cloud City to intercept Platt. Unfortunately for Tolga, he was caught tailing Platt by her yougn apprentice, Darrik, who shot Tolga and killed him. (IDC)

Toli
This species of trees was native to the planet Galantos. Toli trees had needle-like roots which sunk into the pools of organic gelatin that covered the planet's surface, and their bulbous trunks stored pure water extracted from the pools. (EGP)

Tolium
This gas was one of the most common gases used for blasters. Note that No Disintegrations indicates tolium was a solid material. (CFG, ND)

Toli-X
This deadly, mutated virus lived in molds that existed on the surface of certain asteroids. In this way, the virus could move from planet to planet. It infected a great number of worlds some twenty-five years before the Battle of Naboo, before the scientists and medical personnel of the Old Republic discovered a vaccine. Most who contracted the virus could be cured by the vaccine. It was later discovered that the planet Kegan had suffered an outbreak of the Toli-X virus, but because of their isolationist government, had never learned of the vaccine. A great many Keganites died because of their adherence to the General Good. (FFT)

Tolk
A small city, located on the west coast of Galleros, on the planet Zelos II. (PG2)

Tol-Kachorn
This was the most powerful of the Yinchorri city-states, during the centuries leading up to the Clone Wars. It controlled nearly 100 villages and five other cities. Other city-states tried to rival or unseat Tol-Kachorn, but most were defeated and absorbed. When the Empire rose to power and began threatening the galaxy, the leaders of Tol-Kachorn allied themselves with the Alliance. However, Imperial "cleansing" of the planet Yinchorr reduced Tol-Kachorn to rubble. (ANT)

Tolko Fly
This insect, native to certain underground caverns and caves of the planet Cularin, was attracted to a specific species of moss that grew in the caves. Tolko flies fed only in the dark, using their own bioluminescence to guide them while they fed on the moss. During the day, these insects went about the rest of their lives. (FOC1)

Tollero
This dry, rocky world was the second planet in the Atrig System. It had no natural satellites. (PG2)

Tolli
Meaning "compassionate", this name was common among Gungan females. (GCG)

Tollivar, Toki
This tiny Bimm was discovered aboard the derelict vessel Chancellor Fillorean by Zayne Carrick and his companions, during the final years of the Mandalorian Wars. Toki and his droid, K0, appeared to have been the only survivors of some strange accident that had befalle the ship and its crew. Everyone else aboard appeared to have been asphyxiated or strangled, although there were no obvious wounds on their necks and throats. When questioned by Carrick and his friends, Toki explained that he had been traveling on business, and had left Corellia when passengers aboard the Chancellor Fillorean began to die. He locked himself in his rooms and sent his droid, K-OB7, to gather food and report on what was happening on the ship. The appearance of Carrick and his friends gave Toki the chance to escape from the luxury liner, although the group feared that something had followed them when Slyssk suddenly experienced a crushing sensation in his throat. Zayne and Rohlan Dyre managed to save the Trandoshan, and they believed that Kayo had been responsible for the attack. However, the droid then explained its history with Toki, which began shortly after the end of the Great Sith War. During a business meeting, Toki explained to the droid that a business associate had suddenly died of strangulation. Toki explained that he had no idea what had happened, and Kayo agreed to help dispose of the body. According to the droid, however, this was not an isolated event. Over the years, more and more bodies wound up dead in Toki's presence, apparently strangled to death. In order to avoid any legal trouble, Toki adopted a series of aliases, including the name Kelven Garnatrope, which he used to book passage aboard the Chancellor Fillorean. While Kayo was discussing its history with Zayne, however, Tollivar managed to trap Jarael alone, and he began to strangle her. Tollivar explained that he was actually a Sith adept, who had been trained in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force in order to infiltrate the Republic's commerce ministry. His role was minimized when Exar Kun was defeated, and Tollivar was forced to go into hiding for thirty years. The need to draw upon the power of the Dark Side became too great, and Tollivar began killing for the sheer enjoyment of it. He claimed that beings had underestimated him because of his size, and that killing them gave him a measure of revenge and satisfaction. Before he could kill Jarael, though, Tollivar was shot by Zayne Carrick. This only made the Bimm angrier, and Tollivar drew his lightsaber and attacked Zayne. Tollivar might have killed Carrick if K-OB7 hadn't arrived in the room. The droid claimed that it was only trying to save Tollivar from himself, and it grabbed Tollivar and tried to stop him from killing again. Just as Tollivar tried to use Force Lightning to destroy the droid, Rohlan Dyre fired his blaster at them both, killing Tollivar instantly and destroying Kayo. (KOR12)

Tollo-wrench
This was a specialized tool used in the manufacture of droids. (CCC)

Tolmea Mountains
This jagged mountain range was located on the planet Ord Cestus. (TCD)

Tolmeatek

Tolmeatek
This X'Tingian word translated into Basic as "untravelable". (TCD)

Tolo
A race native to the planet Toloran, the Tolos share the administrative duties within the Panto System with their neighbors, the amphibious Lomins. (DFRSB)

Tolok
This man was a native of Alderaan. He was part of a group of Alderaanians who traveled to Yavin 4, following the destruction of the first Death Star, to meet with Princess Leia Organa. He was extremely loyal to Leia, and was adamant about restoring the memory of Alderaan. Leia later discovered that Tolok was romantically involved with Darlen, and that they were implicated in the theft of computer data from Massassi Base. (IS)

Tolokai
This stoic Gotal served as one of Mon Mothma's aides during the early years of the New Republic. Like all Gotals, Tolokai's sensitive horns allowed him to receive vibrations and eminations from those around him. This allowed him to anticipate any attacks which might be aimed at Mon Mothma. During a short break from his official duties, Tolokai was targeted by agents of Warlord Zsinj, who brainwashed him into believing Mon Mothma was an enemy as part of Project Funeral. The desire to kill her was activated by a seemingly inane phrase, and Tolokai tried to kill her with a hidden vibroblade. However, one of her other aides, Malan Tugrina, took the blade in his chest, diverting Tolokai's attack long enough for Mon Mothma to call for a security detail. Then Malan used the last of his strength to tackle Tolokai, and they tumbled down a flight of stairs. Malan died from loss of blood, while Tolokai was killed when his neck snapped in the fall. (SOC)

Tolokus
This New Republic Admiral was called to the Koornacht Cluster to assist Etahn A'baht in the struggle against the Yevetha. (TT)

Tolra
This male Gamorrean was living on Coruscant with his family when Ysanne Isard unleashed the Krytos virus. Tolra and his wife were having marital problems, so she was off-planet when the outbreak occurred. Tolra contracted the Krytos virus, and realized that he was very sick. He quarantined himself from his family, effectively stopping its advance. He died alone in his house, and was later discovered by Gavin Darklighter and Emtrey during a sweep of the area. (KT)

Tolsk
This New Republic Navay Commodore served under Etahn A'baht with the Fifth Battle Group. Tolsk took control of Task Force Blackvine during the blockade of Doornik-319. (SOL)

Toltax Starstream
A large starship. (SOL)

Tolut
This male Armalat was one of the businessbeings who controlled the Unity of Community, on the planet Ansion, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He initially favored the secession of Ansion, and was suspicious when the Galactic Senate dispatched a team of Jedi Knights to mediate a treaty between the city dwellers and the Alwari. Tolut himself was Force-sensitive, but lacked any formal training. Nevertheless, he could manipulate objects with the Force, and claimed that the Jedi were sent to Ansion to use their "magic" against the backwater natives. Luckily for the Jedi, Tolut was openminded enough to listen to them, especially after Luminara Unduli deftly maneuvered a pitcher of cold water over his head and dumped it on him. He was among the nine members of the Unity to vote in favor of Ansion remaining with the Old Republic. (APS)

Tom
This Mandalorian word meant "alliance" when translated into Basic. (OWS)

Toma
A native of the planet Carratos, this young man was one of Akanah's childhood Fallanassi friends. (BTS)

Toma
This tall, bald-pated man was a native of the planet Acherin, and served as a General in the planet's military forces during the height of the Clone Wars. Like his government, Toma was a strong supporter of the Separatist cause, but realized that the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic were too strong. He believed that Acherin would be subjugated by the Republic, and was surprised when Jedi commander Garen Muln requested a meeting to negotiate a peace treaty, rather than demanding a full surrender. Toma agreed to the truce, but never got a chance to sign the treaty, because Chancellor Palpatine issued the command to execute Order 66.

Rather than see Muln killed by the clone troopers he was commanding, Toma arranged for Muln to escape into the wilderness, and helped keep him out of sight until he could escape. Many months later, Toma had become a resistance leader on his homeworld, trying to overthrow the tyrany of the Empire's rule on Acherin. When he met Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ferus Olin, Toma agreed to help them escape from the Acherin, but found himself leading their escape aboard his own starship. He recognized that the Empire would utterly defeat his forces, and chose to flee in order to regroup for a later offensive. Toma then decided to remain on a remote asteroid with Raina, where they tended to Garen Muln and any other Jedi who managed to reach them.

Unknown to Raina and Ferus was the fact that Toma had been contacted by the Empire and offered the chance to serve as ruler of his homeworld of Acherin, in exchange for information on the location of Ferus Olin and the members of Moonstrike. Toma believed that he could restore peace to Acherin if he was able to unite the planet under a single ruler who was a native of Acherin. Raina pulled a blaster in an effort to stop him, but Toma fired his own weapon, hitting her in the chest with his blast. Toma did not escape unscathed, as Raina's blast hit him as well. The wound proved instantly fatal, and Toma fell to the ground just a few meters from Raina. (LJ2, LJ3, LJ8, LJ10)

Tomad
This Mandalorian word meant "ally" when translated into Basic. (OWS)

To-mara

By the time of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Tomas had been promoted to General, and was placed in charge of security at the Imperial Palace. (TT, SBS)

Tomas, Jinjur
This Mining Guild recruiter worked in the Tapani Sector during the height of the New Order. Jinjur discovered the location of Alabard's Comets' secret base, shortly after the Battle of Hoth, but accepted certain payments in exchange for her secrecy. She patrolled the Rimma Trade Route in her starship, the Shindra Lady. (LOE)

Tomb Beast
Created by the energies of the Dark Side of the Force when Freedon Nadd was buried on the moon Dxun, these creatures were large reptiles that were twisted to become ferocious predators. They were named for the fact that they seemed to congregate near Nadd's tomb, and attacked anything that came within their range. A large spike grew up from their lower jaw, and the tomb beast used this spike to impale its victims. (DSSB)

Tomb of Ragnos
This was the tomb that was established in Korriban's Valley of the Dark Lords, in honor of Marka Ragnos upon his death, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (JKAP)

Tomb, The
This was the name given to the Rakatan prison facility that was discovered by the Galactic Republic on Belsavis, some fifty years before the onset of the Great Galactic War. Located beneath the ice floes of the planet's equatorial regions, The Tomb was protected by strange force fields. It was these force fields, and their unusual effects on the ice, that first attracted Republic scientists. Deep beneath the ice, the prison facility was protected by unusual guard droids and strange beasts that remained vigiliant for millennia after the fall of the Rakatan Empire, kept active by the facility's unusual systems. The Rakatans had imprisoned their worst criminals in stasis chambers at the facility, although the reasons for keeping the criminals alive was never discovered. Republic scientists found many of the stasis chambers contained beings that might still be alive, although millennia of neglects had taken its toll on many others. When the Strategic Information Service learned of the hidden prison facility, it urged the Galactic Republic to take the facility for its own use, during the era of the Great Galactic War. Renamed as The Tomb, the facility was used to incarcerate Sith and Mandalorian prisoners of war who could not be executed or imprisoned without great effort. Many unusual Sith creatures were also placed into stasis at The Tomb, for further investigation by the Jedi Order. (SWORW)

Tombat
This mysterious art and jewel thief once stole a set of priceless, antique pistols from Fitz Roi during the Priole Danna Festival, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Believed to have been of Corellian origins, the Tombat also looted Jerjerrod's palace on Tinnel IV sometime afterward. His signature was to leave a blue quella stone at the site of every heist. It was later revealed that the Tombat was actually Tanda Marelle. Note that Cracken's Rebel Operatives claims the Tombat was an Alderaanian. (SWJ4, SWJ8, CRO, OWS)

Tomb-walling Ceremony
This was the traditional funeral rite of the Sullustan people. It was presided over by a crypt master, and followed a rigid protocol for honoring the deceased. Individual mourners were brought forward to honor the dead based on their social standing and their relationship to the dead. After the crypt master placed a layer of seamweld on the tomb wall, mascs were invited to place a transpariblock into the wall that sealed off the deceased's coffin. Fems then used a weld-rake to smooth out the mortar. In this way, the coffin was sealed into the crypt, yet was visible to future visitors. In general, immediate family were first to place transpariblocks, followed by children living outside the family, warren-clan leaders, blood relatives, closest friends, and corporate representatives of SoroSuub. The final transpariblock was placed by the highest-ranking individual in attendance, who was also required to deliver a brief oration that contained one word for each year of the deceased's age. This was not a eulogy, but a message to the mourners from the speaker's heart. (DN2)

Tomcat
This youth was a native of Somov Rit, shortly before the Battle of Ruusan. His given name was Darovit, but he kept it secret like the other natives of the planet. Like his cousin Bug, Tomcat displayed a strong connection to the Force, which attracted the Jedi scout Torr Snapit. While Tomcat and Bug were chosen to travel to Ruusan and augment the forces of the Jedi Knights, Tomcat's sister Rain was to be left behind. Tomcat used his own skills in the Force to make it appear that Rain could touch it, and she was allowed to travel with them. However, upon reaching Ruusan, their ship was shot down and Rain was lost in the crash. Tomcat believed that she had been killed in the explosion.

Tomcat and Bug were rescued by Snapit, but they were set upon by a group of Sith warriors. Snapit sacrificed himself to allow the boys to escape, but Tomcat remained behind to steal Snapit's lightsaber. Later, Tomcat grew impatient with the Jedi, wishing to join the battle instead of doing menial duties and learning patience. He joined Lord Charny's forces, and gleefully killed a Sith in his first battle, but this only drew Tomcat closer to the Dark Side of the Force. When the Jedi appeared powerless to stop the Sith, Tomcat embraced the Dark Side fully. He joined Githany and the Sith, and was the being responsible for murdering Lord Charny. He chose to abandon the name Tomcat and use his true name, Darovit.

Just before Lord Kaan unleashed the thought bomb, Tomcat and Bug faced each other in battle. Bug was injured by Githany, as she tried to collect Tomcat and escape before the bomb was activated. Before they could escape, Bug was killed by a falling stone and Githany fell into a deep chasm. Tomcat managed to survive the thought bomb, and wandered the blasted surface of Ruusan with two bouncers as companions, to mature by himself. (JVS, NECH, DBPD, DBRT)

Tome
This Mandalorian word meant the plural form of "together" when translated into Basic. (OWS)

Tome, Jared
This Imperial diplomat was, at one time, in command of a "re-education center," which specialized in the torture of those individuals suspected of sympathizing with the Alliance. He carried a small medkit with him at all times, ostensibly to help counteract the effects of aging. In reality, the kit contained all the necessary chemical compounds to create a variety of lethal poisons. After he "retired," Tome was summoned to Tatooine by Begas Tok, to participate in the auction of the Shard of Alderaan computer slicing program. Tome was provided with credits by the Empire, and was backed up by the undercover agent, Breezer Nos-Carron. (LAA)

Tomer
This given name was common human males across the galaxy. (GCG)

Tomer
This man worked as a hangar bay controller at the Bilbringi shipyards during the years following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. When the rogue Jedi Dal Konur arrived at Bilbringi to steal a ship that could take him to Bastion, he clouded Tomer's mind and implanted the suggestion that he was actually Dal himself. Tomer then explained to anyone he met that he was Dal Konur, and would come quietly if he was placed under arrest. This allowed Dal to briefly escape the Jedi who were tracking him and steal a Firespray-31 freighter. (WOA29)

Tome'tayl
This Mando'a word translated into Basic as "memory." (OWS)

Tomik
This gas giant was the third planet in the Bacrana System located just outside the Carba Asteroid Belt. It was orbitted by sixteen moons. (FBS)

Tomla
This was one of the most common male names used by members of the Ithorian race. Although most Ithorian names were not used for a specific meaning, historians found that this name meant "protective". (GCG)

Tommick, Harval
This man served as the chief od security at Toryaz Station, in orbit near Kuat, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. When the Galactic Alliance arranged for the use of the Narsacc Habitat during its negotiations with the leaders of the Corellian System, it was Tommick who took over the security measures for Five World Prime Minister Aidel Saxan, much to the consternation of her advisor, Wedge Antilles. Tommick ignored Antilles' recommendation that she be shadowed by a double, which ultimately led to her death when a group of killers infiltrated the station. Tommick was also killed in the attack. It was later learned that Tommick had been chosen by Thrackan Sal-Solo to oversee Saxan's security arrangements, and that Tommick was one of Sal-Solo's stronger supporters. (LF1)

Tomo
This Jawa word was used to describe a female being. (TG)

Tomo Camp
This was the name of the main Vanqor outpost, located near the Tomo Craters, during the Vanqor conquest of their home system several years before the Battle of Geonosis.

Tomri, Bensin
This man was a member of the ExGal Society team sent to Belkadan to monitor the ExGal-4 outpost. He often spoke with a teasing tone of voice, trying to maintain levity during their extended isolation. He accompanied Danni Quee to Helska, shortly after the ExGal-4 team spotted a rogue asteroid heading for the planet. They were intercepted by several Yuuzhan Vong coralskippers and brought to Helska as prisoners. He was killed in front of Danni, as an example of the Yuuzhan Vong's power over her. (VP)

Tomrus
A native of Bespin's Cloud City, Tomrus was sixteen when the Empire overran Cloud City, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. A natural con artist, he also showed a great deal of mechanical skill. When his mother was killed in the evacuation of Cloud City, he vowed to make the Empire pay for her death. He left his father and joined the Alliance, and was added to Anselm's technical team. He was later a member of Leia Organa Solo's crew dispatched to recover the Katana Fleet, some five years after the Battle of Endor. He sustained several injuries during the fight to recover the Dreadnaughts, but eventually recovered. (DFR, DFRSB)

Tomuon
A large, wooly creature native to the planet Askaj, the tomuon was raised by the Askajians for milk, meat, and wool.

Tondatha
This backwater town was located on the planet Agamar. It was the hometown of Keyan Farlander, until it wiped out during an Imperial invasion early in Emperor Palpatine's reign. Imperial forces believed that the natives were secretly plotting rebellion, and decided to put a swift end to any action they might take. Over the course of several days, the town was blasted from orbit, then stormtroopers were sent in to arrest or kill any natives who offered resistance. Within three months, the town was all but abandoned, as the former inhabitants deemed it too damaged to rebuild. It was believed that the destruction of Tondatha was the event that prompted Farlander to join the Alliance. (XW, XWP)

Tone, B'dard
This Jedi Master was one of many who were pressed into military duty during the Clone Wars. A tall, imposing Coway distinguished by the facial shield that covered the left side of his face and the cybernetic replacement of his right hand, Master Tone was one of a handful of Jedi who wanted to destroy General Grievous before he could kill any more innocent beings. The injuries to Tone's face and arm came from an encounter with Grievous on Nadiem, and his first Padawan was killed by the General in the fighting. Thus, when he learned that Flynn Kybo had survived an encounter with the Separatist military leader, he sought out the young Padawan to discuss the young man's plans for going after Grievous. They set out to locate Grievous on their own, without the approval of the Jedi Council, and eventually tracked him down on Belsus. There, Greivous had been planning to use the younglings of the Bergruutfa Clan in an experiment to create Force-sensitive droids. Although the younglings were eventually rescued, Master Tone was slaughtered in battle with the cyborg warrior. His sacrifice allowed Codi Ty to escort the younglings to safety, thwarting Grievous' plans. (SWGG, SWI86)

Tone Poem
This was a form of poetry that was created by Zabrak musicians, using musical notes instead of words to tell a story. (MBS)

Tonena
This Rodian clan was one of the oldest supporters of the Chattza clan. The Tonena were generally credited with manufacturing the first specialized weaponry used by Rodian hunters, and founded the Tonena Munitions Corporation. Over the centuries, many younger members of the Tonena clan began to chafe under the harsh leadership of the Chattza, and many young Tonena Rodians openly clashed with their Chattza leaders. (SPG, OWS)

Tonheld Mining Corporation
This corporation owned the rights to mine ores and minerals from the asteroids within the Halmad System, some 40 years before the Battle of Endor. They efficiently stripped all the marketable material from the asteroids and then left, taking their machinery by leaving hollowed-out balls of rock in their place. The Wraiths squadrons used an abandoned asteroid - designated A3 by Tonheld - for their Hawk-bat base. (IF)

Tonin
This was the nickname Lara Notsil used for her astromech droid. The droid, like the X-Wing it flew in, were originally owned by Atton Repness, but were given to Lara after she exposed Repness' blackmail starfighter sales ring. The droid's name means "Little Atton" in the dialect of her hometown, New Oldtown, on Aldivy. When Lara fled the Wraiths, after Garik Loran revealed that she was really Gara Petothel, Tonin went with her to the Iron Fist, where she volunteered her services to Warlord Zsinj. In reality, she planned to take down Zsinj any way she could. To that end, she programmed Tonin to surreptitiously take control of the Super-class Star Destroyer's MSE-6 messenger droids. Tonin did so discreetly at first, but became bolder when none of the smaller droids were discovered missing. Tonin reprogrammed them for terrorist duties, including the sabotaging of the warship's engines, computers and shields. The effort nearly worked on its own, and was highly successful when it was combined with the firepower of the New Republic's warships at Selaggis Six. However, Zsinj managed to escape using the Second Death as a decoy. Lara and Tonin also escaped, fleeing to the planet Corellia to lay low. (IF, SOC)

Tonith, Pors
This Muun served the military forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems as an Admiral during the height of the Clone Wars. Despite his background with the Intergalactic Banking Clan - he was the latest leader of one of the IBC's most ruthless clans, and many considered him to be a dead emotionally as he appeared to be physically - Tonith was also a noted military tactician. He often applied military doctrine to his business dealings, in an effort truly defeat his rivals. A decisive being with more regard for his own safety than that of his troops, Tonith was known to remain safely behind a battle line in a luxurious stateroom aboard his flagship, the Corpulentus, calmly sipping dianogan tea. Tonith was once quoted as saying, "In an army, no one ever sleeps... except me… the brain needs its rest." He believed himself to be above reproach, and considered himself more than adequate when Count Dooku assigned him to lead the assault on the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn. Tonith chafed whenever Asajj Ventress demanded a progress report, instead worrying about reinforcements. Although he firmly believed he had the situation under control, Tonith was unaware that Count Dooku was actually controlling the allocation of resources and troops. The reinforcements he requested were delayed in leaving Sluis Van, allowing an Old Republic task force - led by Nejaa Halcyon and Anakin Skywalker - to infiltrate Praesitlyn airspace and land on the planet's surface. Tonith was unaware of the arrival of his reinforcements, and was unprepared for the daring rescue mission of Anakin Skywalker, who flew through the ground defenses to land at the communications center and break in. With a team of commandos, Anakin was able to free the hostages, which rendered the Separatists' position untenable. Tonith knew this, and was forced to surrender when Anakin apprehended him. He ordered his troops on the ground and his ships in space to stand down, and turned over the communications center to the Republic. He then learned of the arrival of the reinforcements, and was dismayed to know that he could have won the battle if he had just held out a little longer. (JT)

Tonnika, Brea
Brea and her sister, Senni, were two of the galaxy's finest con artists. The sisters conned Grand Moff Argon out of nearly 25,000 credits, and in return were placed on the Imperial most-wanted list. Later, Han Solo employed the sisters to con Lando Calrissian. Using their alias of Bresenni, the sisters wined and dined Lando. Lando was smitten, and eventually asked Bresenni to marry him. At this time, the other sister emerged, presenting Lando with a holoprojector and a disk from Solo, who was having a good laugh at Lando's expense. Lando vowed to get Han back for it. Just before the Battle of Yavin, they took a job with Jabba the Hutt. They left Tatooine a mere three hours before Shada D'ukal and Karoly D'ulin arrived at the Mos Eisley cantina, trying to impersonate the Tonnika sisters in order to book passage off Tatooine. Both sisters were members of the Kiffu race, and were raised on the planet Kiffex. (E4, MTS, TME)

Tonnika, Bresenni

She reached the Naval base on Miser, but was eliminated by Alliance agents before the information on Isis could be transmitted. (IC)

Tontruk
This Esoomian was considered one of the galaxy's best shockboxers, primarily because his size and strength were unmatched by beings of other races. His only known defeat came at the hands of Lobar Aybock, who managed to IO the Esoomian on Vycynith during the era of the Galactic Civil War. (OWS)

Tonzet
This Ukian laborer was one of the many members of his race who despised the Galactic Republic and its meddling ways, during the early stages of the Clone Wars.

Too
This was the Ewokese word for "fight" or "battle". (GPB)

Too, Wag
This young Lurmen was the son of Tee Watt Kaa, and was living with the group of Lurmen who settled on Maridun during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Wag Too was known as a healer among his people, and he agreed to help Anakin Skywalker recover from his injuries, when a Republic frigate crash-landed on Maridun. Tee Watt Kaa demanded that Aayla Secura remained with the Lurmen, as a sign of good faith that Wag Too would not be kidnapped or killed. Once at Anakin's camp, Wag Too was able to prevent a mastif phalone from attacking by wrapping its legs with a rope and tripping it up. In this way, the Lurmen healer showed the Jedi that there was always a non-violent way to resolve a conflict. His beliefs were tested shortly afterward, when General Lok Durd arrived with his new defoliation weapon. Tee Watt Kaa blamed the Jedi for bringing the Separatists to Maridun, but Wag Too defended the Jedi, pointing out that nobody knew the Jedi were actually on the planet. When a scout named Tub discovered that the Separatists planned to test the defoliator capsule on the Lurmen, Wag Too became exasperated at his father's passiveness. However, his father's words were the law, and Wag Too held his tongue until the Separatist battle droids launched a massive attack on their village. Wag Too and the other Lurmen who held similar views took up their farming tools and used them against the droids. (CWTV13, CWTV14)

Too Late Now
This captured Imperial patrol craft was owned by Drea Renthal and her pirate group. She had removed one of the main laser turrets and replaced it with an ion cannon. To mark it as one of her ships, a blazing claw insignia was painted on both sides. The ship saw action during the Battle of Nar Shaddaa, working with the Minestra to destroy the Vigilance after Niev Jaub had obliterated its shields. However, the ship did not survive a later encounter with Imperial forces and was destroyed. (THG)

Toobo, Melen
This being was placed in charge of the Coruscant Wildlife Management Department during the last decades of the Old Republic. He was known for his failed attempt to domesticate several Coruscani Ogres by giving the lobotomies, a plan he called The Program. He tried to refit their brains with cybernetic replacements, in the hope of creating a small workforce of "organic droids." After several failures, the success of the individual known as Friendly emboldened Toobo to begin full-scale conversion, although Friendly turned out to be a fluke. Subsequent conversions resulted in ogres that were uncontrollable, and had to be turned off in order to prevent widespread damage. The Program was abandoned, and Toobo moved on to other obscure work. (WOTC)

Tooch
This razort was kept as a pet by the renegade Sedrian priest, Karak. (BGS)

Toodo, Kelna
This Duros was once trained to be a pilot, but he turned to a life of gambling and smuggling in order to make ends meet. Several years after the Battle of Naboo, Toodo found himself in debt to Beeda the Hutt, after losing a huge sum of credits at the Hutt's floating casino. He managed to escape Beeda for a while in his own ship, the Hot Streak, and won another starship, the aging Radiant Splendor, in a game of dice. He hoped to sell it for scrap, but discovered a Corellian sand panther caged in the hold. He knew that the creature was dangerous, and that it was illegal to posess once, so Kelna once again found himself in trouble. When Beeda ordered Kelna to take care of a group of meddlers, Kelna figured that he could con them into winning the Radiant Splendor, then lock them inside with the sand panther. Once the beast had killed them, Kelna would then kill the beast "in self-defense" and return to Beeda with the bodies, hoping to clear his debt with the Hutt. However, the meddlers turned out to be quite resourceful, managing to get the sand panther back into its cage before confronting Kelna. He begged for his life, and was ultimately jettisoned in an escape pod and left to fend for himself. (WOA35, UA)

Toogi
This Huttese exclamation was used as a greeting. (IS1)

Toohi Sector
This section of the Yuuzhan Vong worldship Baanu Miir was set aside as living quarters for the Shamed Ones who slaved aboard the ship. Shortly after the rikyam of the worldship began to die, the Toohi Sector was filled with noxious fumes, as the rikyam began venting half-digested waste into the area. (EVR)

Tooka
This was Numa's simple name for her tooka doll. (CWOC1)

Tooka Doll
This was a simple rag doll that was popular with Twi'lek children. The tooks doll was a likeness of the Twi'lek form, with two arms, two legs, and a pair of head-tails sprouting from the simple body. (CWTV20)

Tookarti
This Chadra-Fan served as Korto Vos' majordomo, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Tookarti was also a master at obtaining information, and helped Vos recruit some of the best spies and thieves available on The Wheel. Unknown to Vos, however, Tookarti was actually an agent of Count Dooku, and had devised the scheme which allowed a datadisk containing information on a Separatist attack on Kamino to fall into Zenex's hands. This ensured that the Separatists would have the upper hand during the battle for Kamino, even as the Old Republic believed it had the advantage. Although these plans failed to result in a Separatist victory at Kamino, Tookarti continued to work for Count Dooku, primarily out of fear for his life. His double-agent status was compromised shortly afterward, when Tookarti tried to sell information to the Jedi Council that Korto Vos had become a double agent himself. Because this nearly cost Korto his life, Korto returned to confront Tookarti. When the Charda-Fan couldn't reconcile his actions, Korto - who was actually Quinlan Vos, on a deep-cover mission for the Jedi - decided to eliminate any further treachery. As Tookarti pulled out a blaster, Korto beheaded him with his lightsaber. (RS, RDB)

Tooke
This small, hopping rodent was bipedal in stature, and was native to the planet Naboo. They had short tails and large eyes, and could flip themselves over backwards in order to escape an attacker. They breed quite rapidly, and offspring were independent and fertile at just two weeks of age. The whiskers of the tooke were prized by the Gungans for use in making paint brushes. (GF, WSW)

Tooke-Trap Plant
Native to the planet Naboo, this carnivorous plant was named because it preferred to feed on the flesh of the tooke. The fragrance of the tooke trap plant resembled the mating hormones of the tooke, making the plant irresistable to the tiny rodents. (GF, WSW)

Tookra
This Geonosian operated a starship parts and repair facility at the Kishpaugh Spaceport, during the era of the Galactic Civil War. Tookra cared little for the source of his parts, and often employed smugglers to acquire. Among these smugglers was Han Solo, who had been contracted to transport a load of parts shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Solo, however, decided to remain with the Alliance, even though he had been paid in advance, and still had the parts stored in the holds of the Millennium Falcon. Thus, when Solo showed eight months after the scheduled delivery and wanted to make a deal with Tookra, Tookra wanted nothing to do with it. He ordered his bodyguard droid, K1L-R, to smash Solo and his companions. Solo managed to escape, with the help of Grintlok, but Tookra was able to track the Millennium Falcon as the freighter blasted away from the spaceport. Tookra and K1L-R tracked the ship to the planet Cataalda, and attempted to exact their revenge against Solo and his shipmates. However, Tookra discovered that he was not the only being who had been following Solo, when the bounty hunter Dust arrived on the planet. Using the distraction caused by the bounty hunter's arrival, Tookra ordered K1L-R to kill Solo, and the droid nearly succeeded before Solo's Wookiee first mate, Chewbacca, arrived on the scene. The Wookiee shot K1L-R several times with a blaster rifle, before throwing an explosive device at the droid's chest. The explosion should have torn apart K1L-R, but the droid was too well-built. The droid set off after Solo, but found itself confronted by Dust when a blast meant to kill Solo destroyed Dust's ship instead. The bounty hunter managed to severe K1L-R's head from its body, leaving Tookra stranded in the jungle without his bodyguard. (PLRR)

Toola
This Outer Rim planet was a barren, windswept world locked in perpetual winter. An ancient Jedi Master made Toola his home during the years just prior to Palpatine's Jedi purge. He was a curator of records on Coruscant, and was helping the Old Republic just before Palpatine's rise to power. The Jedi Master, fleeing Palpatine's wrath, took his archives with him to Toola, but he was hunted down and killed, and the records destroyed. The planet Toola was home to the Whiphids, as well as to the snow demons. Its day lasted 23 standard hours, and the year on Toola lasted 423 local days. (GG4, CPL, SWJ10)

Toom, Nort
This Weequay was the founder and leader of the Toom Clan, a gang of mercenary pirates who worked the Outer Rim during the last decades of the Old Republic. Nort and his gang were destroyed on Riome, where they made their last stand against the combined forces of Lommite Limited and InterGalactic Ores. The two corporations had joined forces after it was learned that the Tooms had taken a third contract to destroy both corporations. (DMS)

Toom Clan
Based in an underground cavern on the Videnda Sector world of Dorvalla, this gang of cutthroat mercenaries was active in the Outer Rim during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Toom gang started out with legitmate goals, primarily as deep-space rescue and salvage operators. Over time, they shed their humanitarian guises and focused on making money any way possible. Their services were available to any being who could pay them, and they lacked any form of scruples which might have hindered their ability to take on even the most despicable work. Their motto was simple: "Pay us enough and we'll make worlds collide." The Tooms, led by the Weequay Nort Toom, used an early version of the Interdictor-class cruiser to drag spaceships from hyperspace. The Tooms established a staging base on the planet Riome, in order to help throw off any pursuit. The Tooms were hired by Patch Bruit and the Lommite Limited mining corporation to destroy the operations of InterGalactic Ores on Dorvalla, but Darth Maul used a subtle misdirection to lead the Tooms into bringing down both corporations at the same time. In this way, Dorvalla was opened up to the Trade Federation. Despite the plan's success to Darth Sidious, the Toom Clan was destroyed on Riome when the combined forces of Lommite Limited and InterGalactic Ores struck back in revenge for being double-crossed. (DMS)

Toombs
This man served the Alliance armed forces as a Colonel, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. Colonel Toombs died with his Marines in the Cobolt Offensive, and was later recommended for posthumous promotion and commendation by General Crix Madine. (RASB)

Toomer
This clone trooper was assigned to the strike team that attacked the Gwori shipyards, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The mission was led by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, and required the Republic's forces to travel to the Gwori System while encased in carbonite, in order to bypass the scan gate that had been constructed in the system by Separatist forces. Although their freighter was shot down, the clone troopers and the Jedi survived in their carbonite blocks. However, Toomer's frame was damaged upon crashing into Gwori's surface, and the others were forced to hide his frozen form until they could complete the mission and manually thaw the carbonite. Toomer was upset that he had missed all the action, but his comrades reassured him that there would other battles to fight. (CWSOD)

Toon, Scranton
This Rodian was a noted pilot who worked for Plook Hartar during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Scranton Toon was chosen to participate in a race, devised by Hartar and his rival, Servid Norn, to prove which of the two had the best pilots working in their respective pirate gangs. Norn, in order to ensure that his pilot won the race, posted a bounty for the capture of Scranton Toon. The bounty requested that Toon be brought in alive, so as to maintain any semblance of a working relationship between the rival pirate gangs. Scranton Toon was known as a laid-back mercenary who was arrogant and skilled. He lost his left eye in a swoop wreck, and had it replaced with a cybernetic photoreceptor. (GMR6)

Toong
This was a species of squat, thin-limbed aliens from the planet Toong'L, located near the Tund System. Their bodies were short in stature and covered with green skin. They have no neck or shoulders, as most humanoids do, and their faces seem to make up their entire torso. When Old Republic scouts first made contact with the Toong race, they were unable to comprehend the visitors from the stars, and their civilization was thrown into turmoil. International wars erupted, much to the dismay of the scouts, who had been led to believe the Toongs were peaceful. After many weeks, the Republic was able to re-establish contact with the Toongs, realizing that the sudden appearance of aliens triggered a fight-or-flight instinct in the Toong people. Eventually, the Toongs agreed to join the galactic community, after realizing that alien races weren't something to fear. The Toongs quickly adopted the technology of the Republic, and began to colonize nearby worlds. Modern Toongs were forced to flee Toong'L when an environmental disaster left the planet uninhabitable, just before the Battle of Naboo. They fled to Tund, but were again forced to relocate when Rokur Gepta destroyed that planet. (E1N, IG1, IWE1, SWDB, SWI53, UANT)

Toong
This Huttese verb translated roughly into Basic as "we have." (E1A14)

Toongese
This was the native language of the Toong people. (ANT)

Toong'L
This planet was located near the Tund System, on the inner edge of the Outer Rim Territories, and was the homeworld of the Toong race. However, when a pair of comets struck the planet's surface, the resulting environmental disaster wiped out virtually every square inch of habitable surface area on the planet. The surviving Toongs were forced to flee to the nearby world of Tund. Decades later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the alien invaders captured Toong'L and installed a yammosk there. This gave the Yuuzhan Vong a base of operations from which to launch raids on New Republic outposts in the sector. (IWE1, SWI53, NEGC, UF)

Toong'L Security Systems
This manufacturer of security droids and other systems was a noted competitor of Cestus Cybernetics during the Old Republic. When the X'Ting inquired about a security system for the protection of several royal egss - to be hidden after the X'Ting believed that Cestus Cybernetics was behind the Great Plague - Toong'L Security Systems gladly took on the project. Their system was in intricate combination of guardian worms and scent-based receptors that challenged a being with several layers of verification of their intent. The mutated worms that were brought to Ord Cestus were vicious and carnivorous, but could be defeated by cunning warriors. Because of the scent-based traps that followed, only an X'Ting could manage to reach the deepest levels. Once inside the main chamber, am X'Ting was forced to answer three questions. Whether or not the X'Ting answered correctly, the system declared that the answers were wrong, and forced the X'Ting face their own execution. In this way, the system could determine - from the individual's scents - whether or not they had penetrated the system for their own prestige, or for the better good of the X'Ting people. While the system proved to be exceptionally secure, the worms that were used to guard the forward sections attacked the X'Ting population that chose to live underground after the Great Plague. They stumbled into the worms' chamber and were set upon, and their were no survivors. To make matters worse, Toong'L Security Systems was destroyed when the planet was hit by a comet, eliminating all knowledge of the ways to bypass the security systems. Eventually, it was Jesson Di Blinth who penetrated the system, along with help from Obi-Wan Kenobi, and recovered the eggs. (HIV)

Tooni
According to Han Solo's story, Luke Skywalker stole his lightsaber from a guy named Tooni. The story was required when the pair agreed to start working with Daric LaRone, Taxtro Grave, and their fellow stormtroopers, in an effort to deflect their attention from that fact that Han and Luke were the heroes of the Battle of Yavin. (A)

Toop

Tooqui
This Gwurran Ansionian befriended Barriss Offee, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo, when the Jedi Knights were dispatched to Ansion to negotiate a treaty between the city dwellers and the Alwari. Like most members of his species, Tooqui was hyperactive and continually in motion, and hated the Alwari with a passion. Thus, when Tooqui learned that Barriss was traveling with Kyakhta and Bulgan, he was not at all happy. However, the Alwari eventually agreed to befriend Tooqui, and the trio formed a quick bond. (APS)

Toora, Toonbuck
This Sy Myrthian represented her homeworld as an Old Republic Senator, and was known an idealistic politician who became slowly corrupted by power and wealth. She was known in certain circles as one of the Old Republic's most corrupt Senators during the years leading up to Palpatine's assumption of the role of Grand Chancellor. A large, heavy-set alien with white and gray fur and red eyes, she became exceedingly wealthy by exploiting the many loopholes of the Republic's laws. Toonbuck allied herself with Orn Free Taa and Passel Argente in their opposition of Chancellor Valorum, in the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. With the growing movement toward secession that permiated the Senate in the years prior to the Clone Wars, Senator Toora convinced Sy Myrth to secede from the Republic, on the heels of the secession of the planet Ando. Her support of secession was hinted at by many followers of the Senate, who noted that Senator Toora was absent from the Senate for more than a month prior to Sy Myrth's secession. She was later observed by Obi-Wan Kenobi on the planet Geonosis, during the meetings that cemented Count Dooku's relationships to the Commerce Guilds, the Trade Federation, the Techno Union, and the InterGalactic Banking Clans. Note that this Senator was described as Tonbuck Toora in the Star Wars Episode I Insider's Guide. (IG1, OWS, COD, SWDB, SWI69)

However, he met his greatest challenge in the person of Pilester Binalie's young son, Corf, who revered Torles as an all-powerful, infallible Jedi. This image was shattered when the Separatists tried to take control of Spaarti Creations for their own use. Torles worked tirelessly with Commander Roshton and Kinman Doriana, trying to free the planet from Separatist control. In the end, however, even Master Torles' most ingenious plans were for naught. Just after Troles liberated Roshton and his men, a Republic gunship crashed into the main Sparti Creations facility, purposely killing its crew so that the facility would not fall into the hands of the Separatists. When it was later learned that the Jedi Knights had ordered the suicide mission, Torles found himself exiled from Cartao and the Binalie family. Unknown to Torles, however, was the fact that the gunship had actually been piloted remotely, by an agent working for Darth Sidious. By implicating the Jedi in the destruction of Spaarti Creations, Sidious created a groundswell of hatred toward the Jedi Knights. Torles, without this information, left Cartao to return to Coruscant, hoping to identify the Jedi who ordered the strike which caused so much damage. (SWI68, SWI70)

Torlin, Jor
This man was raised on the planet Korriban, and was chosen for training as a Sith, during the decades leading up to the Sith-Imperial War.

Jor Torlin was one of two operatives, including Morrigan Corde, who were activated by Darth Maladi in order to hunt down Cade Skywalker, after it was learned that Skywalker had survived the Massacre at Ossus.

Torlin managed to track Skywalker to The Wheel, where he was ambushed by a group of thugs who had been hired by Morrigan Corde to eliminate him. He defeated the entire bunch, only to have Corde kick him in the head. This gave the thugs a chance to turn on them, forcing Torlin and Corde to work together to escape from the gang. When he learned that the whole event had been set up by Corde, Torlin became angry and attacked her. She used a sleeping gas to render him unconscious, giving her a chance to remove him to a neutral location.

Aboard Torlin's starship, the Raider, they disrupted the negotiations between Gar Stazi and Mingo Bovark, using Torlin's C.O.L.D. devices to take control of the diplomats' starships and fire on the other. The pair then agreed to travel to Ossus in search of Skywalker. Once they had landed, Torlin took the opportunity to shoot at Corde, hoping to eliminate her and save himself the trouble of dealing with her later. Unknown to Torlin, Corde had injected him with a slow-acting toxin that slowly rendered him incapacitated. She took his weapons and his supplies before leaving him to die. (SWLT)

It was at this time that he learned of his real daughter's relationship with his closest advisor, Admiral Droon, and learned that they had portrayed him as a traitor to their superiors. The real Torlock fled Corulag only after activated the human replica droids. He was never heard from again. The droid Torlock was later captured by Droon's forces and imprisoned, but not before Droon and Darth Vader set in motion a plan to execute Torlock and blame the assassination on the Alliance. Droon also attempted to eliminate the droid Frija, but she was saved from destruction by Jix, who had been sent to Corulag by Vader to execute Torlock. Jix then found and rescued the droid Torlock, and took them to Coruscant along with Droon. Once there, Jix allowed them to flee Coruscant and the Empire, but they were forced to hide out on Hoth. When Luke Skywalker crashed on the planet after returning from Aridus, he encounter the droid Torlock and Frija. The yearsof hiding weren't kind to the droid Torlock, and its feelings for both the Empire and the Alliance deteriorated into contempt and loathing of both sides of the conflict. Torlock's droid believed Luke would be their undoing, and tried to kill him. Instead, his blast hit his daughter, the droid Frija, and killed her. Luke retaliated by slicing the droid Torlock in two with his lightsaber. Luke, in term, returned to the Alliance with the location of the planet Hoth. (SST, CSW)

Torlock, Frija
This daughter of Imperial Governor Torlock was secretly plotting with Torlock's most trusted advisor, Admiral Droon, to execute her father and take control of the planet Corulag. Torlock suspected that the Alliance was a great threat, and had human replica droids created of himself and Frija. When Torlock learned that Frija and Droon had told Darth Vader that he was a traitor to the Empire, Torlock fled Corulag and activated the droids. The droid Torlock was captured by Droon and Frija and imprisoned, but their plan to execute Torlock was still in motion. Vader had sent Jix to execute Torlock, but he instead encountered the droid Frija. She was about to be destroyed by Droon's agents, but Jix rescued her and learned of the plots. Jix was eventually captured by Droon, but not before meeting the droid Torlock. Droon and Frija attempted to remove both of them by feeding them to the dragon snakes that live in the caves of Corulag, but they escaped and returned to confront Droon. In the midst of the struggle, Droon shot and killed the real Frija before being captured by Jix. Jix then took Droon and the two human replica droids to Coruscant. He allowed the droids to take a shuttle and flee Coruscant, and they decided to hide out on Hoth. The droid Frija encountered Luke Skywalker when he was forced to land on the planet shortly after leaving the planet Aridus. The droid Torlock tried to kill Luke, but Frija's droid intervened, taking a blaster bolt meant for Luke. Frija was mortally wounded. Luke retailiated, slicing the father in two with his lightsaber. It was then that Luke discovered she and her father were droids. The droid Frija was unable to remain active as a result of the damage from the blaster bolt, and expired before Luke could save her. Luke then returned to the Alliance with the location of the planet. (CSW, SST)

Torpedo Line
This was thet erm used by Imperial Navy commanders to describe a line unit that included one or two torpedo spheres. These units were often reserved for planetary bombardment, due to the torpedo sphere's lack of mobility. (ISB)

Torpedo Sphere
Manufactured by Loronar, the torpedo sphere was a seige platform designed to destroy planetary defense systems. It was considered by many historians to have been the forerunner to the Death Star space station. It had thousands of dedicated energy receptors positioned on its surface, which were used to analyze shield emissions and discover weak points. When it discovered holes in a planet's shields, the 1,900-meter ship would use some or all of its 500 proton torpedo launchers (arranged on its lower hemisphere) to punch a hole in a planet's protective shielding. If they were programmed correctly (which was not an easy feat, and it took hundreds of technicians to operate them all), the torpedoes will briefly open a section of the planet's shield to turbolaser bombardment. The torpedo sphere was equipped with 10 turbolaser batteries for just this purpose. The torpedo sphere was manned by a crew of 63,275, and can transport up to 8,540 troops. (ISB)

Torphceris
This Argazdan male served as the Regent of the planet Lorrd, during the final stages of the Kanz Disorders. He oversaw the construction of the Slave Pits of Lorrd, although very little was known about his true actions. The Lorrdian playwright Pordi zet Chatc later wrote the tragedy Torphceris about his life, drawing upon the myths and legends that surrounded the slave pits to create an image of the Argazdans as cowardly beings who would sell their souls in order to retain and increase the power they wielded. According to the play, Torphceris was worried that the appearance of the Jedi Knights and the Galactic Republic in the Kanz Sector meant that he would soon be deposed. In order to prevent this, he made a deal with a demon architect to build the slave pits. According to the demon, Torphceris would be able to use the strength of his slaves to call forth a destructive power that would carry out his bidding. Much of the story of Torphceris was later proven to have some basis in fact when the scientist Raygar discovered ancient Argazdan records of the discovery of a strage, extra-galactic starship in the area known as the Redoubt. These records, which dated back to the time of the Kanz Disorders, showed that Argazdan scientists examined the ship and found its pilot was still alive. This pilot had been testing out a new starship drive system when it malfunctioned, stranded the alien and her test ships in the Outer Rim Territories. Torphceris and the other Argazdan leaders of the time turned to this alien being for aid, hoping that she could help them defeat the combined Republic-Jedi forces that were arrayed against them. The alien became the "demon architect" of legend. (OWS)

Torphceris
This was one of the greatest Lorrdian tragedies ever written. Originally created several hundred years before the Battle of Yavin by Pordi zet Chatc, the plot of Torphceris was based on the events that surrounded the construction of the Slave Pits of Lorrd, during the years following the Great Sith War. The play was based on the life of the Argazdan regent Torphceris, who was believed to have worried about retaining his seat of power after the Old Republic began to intervene in the events of the Kanz Disorders. The play also drew on the many legends that surrounded the Slave Pits of Lorrd. According to its story, Regent Torphceris went against his faith ad made a deal with demon architect in a mad attempt to remain in power. The demon architect proposed the construction of the slave pits, and promised Torphceris that the strength of his slaves could be used to call forth a destructive power that could be wielded against his enemies. The play portrayed the Argazdans as cowardly dictators who would sell their souls to remain in power. Although it was originally written centuries before the Galactic Civil War, it gained a new audience when its various plot lines were shown to parallel the actions of Emperor Palpatine and the Galactic Empire. Lorrdian actors added to this similarity by using kinetic communication during their performances, adding anti-Imperial meanings to their lines without attracting the notice of Imperial censors.

This Imperial Moff was a short, stout man who was on the fact-track to Moff status, but never served in the military. He commanded no respect from his subordinates. He was one of the two Moffs with territories bordering the Maelstrom. Along with his compatriot Vanko, Torpin submitted falsified budgets and financial reports to the Empire to try and hide the fact that he was losing a great deal of money to the Riders of the Maelstrom. The last reports he sent were covering up nearly 25% losses. He and Vanko met in secret on the planet Aris, then boarded the Kuari Princess to discuss what their next moves would be. Both believed that the pirates were in league with the Alliance, and were planning to a major offensive against them. Vanko and Torpin barely escaped from the Kuari Princess after it was hijacked by the Riders and rescued by Alliance agents. (RM)

Prince Torrin was on the nearby world of Byrsym at the time, leading a small rebel cell. King Mitar called upon a group of freelance operatives to help Senator Alet Komain break the blockade and ensure the safety of Prince Torrin on Byrsym. Torrin learned of the arrival of these operatives from his arms dealer, Ballon, but feared that Ballon would reveal his location and his activities to the Imperial authorities before the meeting could be arranged. Torrin and his rebels fled the planet, but left behind a coded message for the operatives to follow him. Then, he waited for their arrival, but was anything but idle. Torrin and his rebels used hit-and-run tactics to harass the Imperial forces on Byrsym, setting off numerous explosions and inciting the non-human population of the planet to stand up for their rights. However, as the Imperial presence on Byrsym grew stronger, Torrin and his rebels eventually abandoned their base on the planet and moved to Dantooine. He left behind a Holostick containing a two-dimensional imge of Princess Erra, which contained a hidden map to his location.

Toryaz Station
This space station was located within the Kuat System, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The central core of Toryaz Station resembled a flattened sphere measuring two kilometers across and just 300 meters in thickness. Twelve spokes radiated outward from the core at regular intervals, each of which was 250 meters in length and connected to a containment pod. The pods, alternately shaped like discs or triangles, housed a variety of recreational and residential environments, while the central core served as a kind of town center. It was filled with hotels and shops that catered to the expensive tastes of the guests of Toryaz Station. The station itself was owned and operated by an alliance of trading families who rented its pods and facilities out to corporations and governments who needed a relaxing, neutral location to hold negotiations of all sorts. (LF1)

Toryn, Jasso
This man was one of the many Senators within the Cularin System who supported the efforts of the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights, both in the Cularin System and in the galaxy at large, during the final decades of the Old Republic. However, as the galaxy spiralled into chaos prior to the onset of the Clone Wars, Senator Toryn began to fear for the safety of his family. His open support of the Old Republic and the Jedi Order earned him the anger of many Separatist-backed rivals. Thus, he had his daughter, Korlana, sent to a safehouse on Nar Shadda, to protect her from being kidnapped and held for ransom or blackmail. Senator Toryn reasoned that Nar Shaddaa would be good place for her to hide, since it would be just as dangerous for any being who tried to locate her there.

This proved to be relatively true, although Senator Toryn was horrified to learn that his daughter had been caught in the middle of the struggle between a group of bounty hunters who were trying to capture the agents and claim the bounty offered by Contract AA23. In the end, however, Korlana was safely returned to Cularin. Senator Toryn offered his sincere thanks to the agents for bringing his daughter home safely, then arranged with Jedi Master Lanius Qel-Bertuk for Korlana to be hidden away at the Almas Academy. (AA23)

Toryn, Korlana
This spoiled, seventeen-year-old girl was the daughter of Jasso Toryn, a noted Senator to the planet Cularin during the final decades of the Old Republic. She led a sheltered life growing up, the result of her father being overly protective of her. Korlana was sent to Nar Shaddaa by her parents, sometime before the onset of the Clone Wars, in an effort to keep her from being kidnapped and held for ransom or blackmail. She was not happy with being relocated, and took advantage of the situation to have a little fun at her father's request. After getting into too much trouble, Korlana was ordered to pack her things and be ready to return to Cularin.

She was allowed to stay in the Bespin's Cloud hotel, and only agreed to meet with a group of freelance agents after learning that her father had sent them to return her to Cularin. Their meeting place of choice was Totor's Party Kave, a venue that Korlana had wanted to visit, if only to experience the criminal underside of Nar Shaddaa. A team of bounty hunters led by K1-1R tried to intercept them there, resulting in a frantic escape that both terrified and exhilarated Korlana.. The sailbarge was nearly destroyed, prompting Korlana to launch into a petulant refusal to join the agents in escaping until her belongings were recovered.

However, while trying to reach the starport, the group was captured by the bounty hunters in a Nar Shaddaa warehouse. The bounty hunters then planned to use Korlana to test out a carbon-freezing chamber's calibration, in order to freeze the agents and return them to the Metatheran Cartel. Korlana was terrified, but was somewhat relieved when one of the agents volunteered to take her place. Although the freezing process worked the first time, the chamber was too overloaded to continue operating, and exploded in a shower of electrical sparks and ion energy. This rendered K1-1R inoperative, giving the agents and Korlana a chance to escape.

Upon returning to Cularin, Korlana and her father thanked the agents for their bravery, especially the frozen agent who had been successfully thawed out. Korlana herself was given quarters at the Almas Academy, where her father hoped she would be safer than before. (AA23)

Toryn, Truthful
This Duros owned a used starship lot on the planet Tralus during the early years of the New Order. Han Solo tried to sell the Talisman to Toryn, who was aware of the fact that the ship was listed as stolen. He could only offer Han a scrap-metal price for the ship, since it was stolen property, but offered to give a little more if Han would tell him a story. Han was in a hurry, and passed on the story, but took the scrap price in cash. Five years later, after Han was dishonorably discharged from the Imperial armed forces for rescuing Chewbacca, Toryn gave the young man a job as a pilot and repairman. (TPS, THG)

Tosche Station
This power and distribution center was located about three kilometers south of Anchorhead, on the planet Tatooine. It was owned by the Tosche family for many generations, and was under the control of Merl Tosche during the height of the New Order. In addition to supplying recharge services to the moisture farmers who lived near the settlement, Tosche Station was one of the few places on Tatooine with an independent hyperwave repeater, which allowed residents to acquire HoloNet information that was relayed from nearby worlds like Naboo and Rodia. During the months following the Clone Wars, cantinas and restaurants throughout the settlement were packed with beings who wanted news of the galaxy. (E4, GG7, IWST, RDV)

The women of the Singing Mountain Clan had discovered a way to communicate with their rancors, and Tosh often spoke to them about the history of rancors and Force witches on Dathomir. After Han Solo and Leia Organa arrived on Dathomir, during the early years of the New Republic, an Imperial assault led by Warlord Zsinj took Dhum's life. Tosh responded by destroying several AT-ST scout walkers. (CPL, CTD, EGF)

After finding the mysterious Kez-Iban and learning that Kreb Zellock was trying to steal the fortunes to be gained from selling Nergon-14, Jann and the droids tried to rescue Kez-Iban and defeat Zellock. They were nearly killed when Zellock's stockpile of Nergon-14 exploded, but they escaped with the help of Jess Meade and Zellock's own lieutenant, Yorbo. They recovered Zellock's hidden fortune and split it equally, providing Jann and Gundy with financial freedom. However, Jann did not want to remain on Tyne's Horky. With help from Jess meade, he and the droids helped Mon Julpa return to his home on Tammuz-an and reclaim his crown. He later helped the droids stop Kybo Ren and the Tarnoonga pirates, before taking the role of Mon Julpa's personal advisor.

When the authorities of Circarpous V requested the intervention of the Jedi Knights in recovering Lopani, at the same time they also offered an 8,000-credit bounty for Lopani's return. The Jedi Knights dispatched Reeft to Brentaal IV, after learning of his presence there. The Bounty Hunter's Guild also dispatched Tosinqas to Brentall IV. Tosinqas actually caught up with Lopani first, crashing down upon him in an ambush and killing him. However, Tosinqas' bold actions startled Reeft, who drew his lightsaber. Tosinqas himself was surprised to see the Jedi Knight, and charged at Reeft. Unfortunately, Tosinqas got too close to Reeft, and cut himself in half on the lightsaber. Reeft was forced to returned to Coruscant with both bodies, drawing the ire of Craddosk and the Bounty Hunter's Guild. (HNN5)

Tosiren, Cris
This was the given name of the information broker known as Sot-sirc. Tosiren was born on Coruscant some forty years before the Clone Wars. His mother died when he was a toddler, and his father was absent from his life, so Cris was forced to grow up in the underbelly of Coruscant's cityscape.

Instead, he maintained its membership and later found an ally in House Barnaba, although both sides worked to keep the alliance a secret. Boss Tosk himself was a loner, and preferred the company of computers and droids to that of living beings. Note that this character is also named Bosk-Tosk in Lords of the Expanse. (LOE)

Tosk, Warlan Presvere
This intense man, a native of the planet Alderaan, served as Lavina Wren's personal bodyguard during her visits to the Cularin System at the height of the Clone Wars. After Senator Wren was arrested and sent to a Republic Holding Facility, Tosk believed that she was about to be murdered for her vocal outbursts. He tried several times to free her from prison, and even went through the trouble to get a Republic Senate Seal for her release orders, but he was unable to get her out. He briefly thought that her imprisonment was not what he believed, but was, in fact, an attempt by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to ensure her safety amidst the conflict. However, he could not shake the feeling that something was wrong, especially when he recognized a Zabrak criminal posing as a Renna's Transport Service deliverybeing entering the Holding Facility. Before he could warn the receptionist, the facility exploded in an immense fireball, then collapsed inward. His worst fears confirmed, Tosk managed to escape the scene, vowing to bring the perpetrators to justice on his own terms. He returned to the scene of the explosion and managed to pull Senator Wren from the wreckage, but their attempt to escape was met with stern opposition. They were aided by an unknown benefactor, who provided them with a ship. However, as they raced back to hide on Cularin, substantial bounties were offered for their capture, with Tosk himself commanding 20,000 credits if captured alive. (LFCW)

She approached Korl Marcus, believing that his lack of identification only lent credence to his bounty hunting skills, to kill Prince Denid and ensure Anod's succession to the throne. She wasn't aware that Marcus was really Luke Skywalker, but she needed to ensure that Anod was named King of Velmor. In the melee that resulted from the botched "assassination," Traal killed Anod. She later was forced to kill Jedidiah, who attacked her while she was hunting for Luke. This gave Luke an opening to knock Traal unconscious. Denid then had her imprisoned for crimes against Velmor. (LTA2, WOTC, MC49)

Tra'ang'a
This was the native language of the Ret people. During the centuries following the conquering of Gelefil by the Annoo-dat, the Ret stopped using the Tra'ang'a language, and adopted the Dat-an language of the Annoo-dat. (DM111)

Traat'aliit
This Mando'a word translated into Basic as "squad" or "team." (OWS)

Traat'aliit gar besbe'trayc
This Mando'a phrase translated into Basic as "The squad is your weapon." (OWS)

Traatika
This Mando'a word translated into Basic as "platoon." (OWS)

Traavis
A native of the Skip 5 asteroid in the Smuggler's Run, Traavis was discovered at an early age to have a great sensitivity to the Force. He was trained by the Jedi Order, and eventually rose to the rank of Jedi Master, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He served as one of the many Generals who oversaw the military operations of the Outer Rim Sieges, including the retaking of several of the Cassandran Worlds before being dispatched to Garqi. Master Traavis was gunned down by the clone troopers of Aiwha Squad, which he was commanding on the planet Garqi, when the command to execute Order 66 was given at the end of the Clone Wars. At the time of his death, Traavis and his squad were trying to escort a local child across a hostile battlefield, in an effort to return the child to its parents. It was later reported by Imperial HoloVision that Master Traavis was shot and killed while trying to steal children for indoctrination into the Jedi Order. (CWA4, SWI87)

Trabler
This huge, well-muscled man was a member of the Imperial Security Bureau at the height of the New Order. Known more for his strength than his mind - it was rumored he could pull the head off an Ithorian with his bare hands - he was assigned to missions that required physical manipulation. Trabler was also unswervingly loyal to the Emperor. His last mission was accompanying Ysanne Isard to Darkknell in order to recover the stolen plans to the first Death Star. Trabler was killed during the mission, caught in a cross-fire between Isard and Hal Horn. Trabler and Isard had attempted to eliminate Horn, but the Corellian managed to gain the upper hand in the exchange. When Trabler tried to attack Horn with a knife, Horn shot him through the chest. (TFNR)

Tracc'sorr
This Coynite term translated into Basic as "sworn allegiance." (PG3)

Trace
This clone commando was part of the team that accompanied Jedi Master Bol Chatak to Murkhana, serving as a spec-two small arms expert during the final stages of the Clone Wars. Like his spec-one, Climber, Trace refused to act when the command was given to execute Order 66, failing to understand how the Jedi could have suddenly become the enemy. Trace agreed with Climber's plan to allow Shryne and the other Jedi on Murkhana to escape into the forest before chasing after them. (RDV)

Trace
This man served the Imperial Navy as the Captain of the Victory-class Star Destroyer Protector, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. During Admiral Harkov's planning sessions for a mission to put a stop to the Sepan Civil War, Captain Trace openly questioned Harkov's battle plan, since it called for allowing some Dimok warships to survive the confrontation. Trace failed to see how the Imperial forces could determine which Dimok vessels to shoot down and which to leave alone, prompting Harkov to call Trace aside. An argument ensued in which Harkov struck Trace across the face with a hard slap, and Trace was forced to toe the line while working with Harkov. Meanwhile, Maarek Stele was transferred to the Protector, and his bold methods of dealing with missions clashed with Trace's orders to do nothing more or less than directed. Later, Trace saw Stele speaking with a member of the Secret Order of the Empire, and decided to find out what it was all about. One evening, Trace tried to impersonate one of the robed members of the Order, and snuck into Stele's room to ask for a report. Stele sensed something was wrong and turned on the lights, revealing Trace's true identity, and Trace quickly made his exit. When Stele tried to alert the Secret Order about Trace's actions, they explained that they were already aware of him, and Stele did not see Captain Trace again for several months. Trace remained with Harkov aboard the Protector, secretly spying on his actions and reporting them members of the Secret Order of the Empire.

When the mission to eliminate Admiral Harkov came to a head, Captain Trace was able to flee the Protector and return to the Empire with the information he had obtained regarding Harkov's plans. Following Harkov's capture and execution, Trace sought out Stele to apologize for his earlier actions and offer his friendship, should Stele ever have need of it. Stele accepted the offer, and thought that he had seen the last of Trace. Both men were later assigned to Admiral Zaarin's beam-weapon research facility, and Trace once again sought out Stele. This time, however, Trace revealed that he was not who he claimed to be. Instead, he explained that he was actually Hamo Blastwell, an Alliance agent who had infiltrated the Imperial Navy to recruit converts to the Alliance. He gave this information to Stele in all confidence, hoping that Stele would not report on his true identity to their Imperial superiors. (TIEP)

Trace, Arvel
This former Imperial governor of Sesid built up a large security force to keep the system in line. He supported the dictators Feynir and Maeril in hopes of getting their nations to work together peacefully. (GG12)

Trace-breather
A device which uses cartridges of gas to provide respiratory elements to races which cannot breathe certain atmospheres. The cartridge contains a limited supply of gas, which was expelled over time when the cartridge was inserted into a special breathing mask. The cartridges must be continually replaced if the individual remains out of its normal environment for too long. (TJP)

Tracedart
This small projectile was used in a game of skill. Each player must throw their darts at a gameboard. The dart literally traces a line to the target. There were various methods to scoring a tracedart match. (CSA)

T'racen, Dunc
This young Mistryl woman was teamed up with Shada D'ukal shortly after the Battle of Endor, so that the younger woman could learn more about the galaxy around her. When the two Mistryl were contracted to transport Ghitsa Dogder, Fenig Nabon, and a cargo of Twi'leki dancers from Ryloth to Nal Hutta, both Mistryl tried to renege on the deal, claiming it was slavery. However, their investigation into the contract and their interviews with the dancers revealed nothing illegal. Nonetheless, Dunc was constantly at odds with Ghitsa during their flight. Ghitsa needled her at every opportunity, and it was all Dunc could do to keep from shooting her dead. (TFNR)

Tracer
This clone trooper gunner was part of Hunter Squadron, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Tracer was known to be a gung-ho kind of trooper, a trait that many of his fellow clones attributed to the fact that he was a tail gunner in a Y-Wing bomber, and never saw the oncoming battle. During the mission to destroy the InterGalactic Banking Clan's shipyards on the planet Gwori, Tracer made several bets with his pilot, Warthog, about the outcome of the mission. It was Tracer's opinion that the mission would be relatively straightforward, and that Hunter Squadron would emerge victorious and unscathed. However, the Separatists had stationed several wings of droid starfighters on the planet, and the Republic's forces had to adjust their tactics when they discovered that there were too many warships under construction to destroy with a direct assault. Jedi Master Saesee Tiin decided to used their bombs on the support structure for the shpiyards, allowing it to collapse and crush the starships contained within. However, while adjusting to these new tactics, Tracer was hit by enemy fire. Warthog managed to complete the mission, and was able to get himself and Tracer back to the main fleet. (CWSOD)

Tracer
This slang term was commonly used in the Elrood Sector of the galaxy to describe a bounty hunter. (PG3)

Tracer Beacon
This was a version of the standard homing beacon, used during the last decades of the Old Republic. Resembling a small disc, the tracer was placed on the hull of a starship to track to hyperspace. The tracer was quite powerful, but it could often be discovered by a criminal or smuggler because of the cloakign shadow it gave off. This shadow registered as a sensor image of the target ship, on the target ship's sensors. (VD2, E2N)

Tracer Beam
This was a low-powered beam of cohesive energy that could be fired from a blaster weapon to indicate the trajectory of a beam. Many weapons could be set to fire only tracer beams, which allowed them to be used for target practice. In combat, tracer beams were used sparingly, since they consumed power like regular blaster bolts. However, they were useful in finding the correct range and trajectory for hitting a target in darkened or night-time environments. (HSL)

Tracer Droid
Any form of automata that was used to track an individual. (THG)

Tracer Orb
Developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, tracer orbs were small devices used to monitor an individual's location. Shaped like an eyeball, a tracer orb could be implanted in place of an organic eye, allowing the user to send detailed visual information back to a central location. The technology behind a tracer orb's abilities was based on nanotechnology imbedded in organic matter. (BF4)

Tracer Spineray
Similar in many respects to the provoker spineray, this Yuuzhan Vong bio-construct could trace the neural pathways of a living being. However, it could only perform specific functions, such as issuing pain to certain receptors with micromillimeter precision, and then gauging how the react to pain affected nearby tissues. It could also determine the efficiency with which neural pathways could transmit information. (EL1)

Trace-scrambler
This device was used in conjunction with a standard comlink, to scramble a transmission and prevent any beings who were searching for the comlink's owner from actually locating them. While the trace-scrambler did not mask the actual transmission of the comlink, it did encrypt the transmission enough to disable most triangulation sensors from pinpointing its location. (EOV, GMR8)

Tracher
This Imperial Army private was among the forces which first landed on Alluuvia. He quickly followed Private Kinard's lead and helped wipe out the Anguillas which greeted them. (OE)

Trachta
This cyborged human served as one of the original Imperial Grand Moffs, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Trachta's cybernetics closely resembled that of Darth Vader, with a triangular breath mask covering his nose and mouth. Both eyes had been replaced by ocular cameras, and his lungs were mechanically enhanced. He hated the Jedi as much as he hated the Sith, and was one of the major participants in an early plot to assassinate Emperor Palpatine, hoping to eliminate Darth Vader in the same masterful stroke. Trachta had known Palpatine for nearly three decades when he hatched his plans to eliminate Vader and all remnants of the Sith, while creating a new Imperial regime in his own image. Unknown to his co-conspirators, Trachta also planned to eliminate each of them in time. His plans fell through, however, when Grand Moff Bartam set his own plans in motion. Just as Bartam was assassinated by Trachta's agent, Trachta found himself cornered by one of Bartam's agents. The agent shot him immediately, killing Trachta on the spot. (SWEB)

Tracinya
This Mando'a word translated into Basic as "flame." (OWS)

Tracker
This was a model of automap developed and manufactured by SoroSuub during the Galactic Civil War. It employed a large screen, which displayed a variety of information on the surrouding terrain and the user's position within it. Essentially a datapad, the Tracker was the handheld version of SoroSuub's AutoTracker. (IA, GUN)

Tracker
This was a utility vest produced by Ayelixe/Krongbing Textiles during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The Tracker vest was made from leathery bantha hide, and provided a pockets and sheaths for hunters and guides to store small items. (AEG)

Tracker
This was a form of locating device that could be affixed to a cargo crate or other large object. Used primarily by smugglers during the era of the New Order, trackers allowed a ship owner to jettison an illegal cargo whenever an Imperial customs vessel appeared, then return later to locate and recover the jettisoned cargo. (MF)

Tracker Akk
This was another name for a sniffer akk. (CWNOP)

Tracker Buoy
This device was used by starship owners to mark a specific location in space. Tracker buoys could also be deployed aboard another starship, so that another ship's crew could follow the ship's movement through space. (JB)

Tracker-4 Airspeeder
This was Bakur RepulsorCorp's military airspeeder, measuring seven meters in length and armed with a front-mounted dual laser cannon. It required a pilot and gunner, and could transport two additional troopers and 20 kilograms of cargo. It had a flight ceiling of two kilometers, and could attain speeds of 500 kilometers per hour. (TBSB)

Tracker's Guild
This was one of the Old Republic's foremost schools of tracking and scouting. The primary school was located on the planet Tolan. Captain Panaka of the Naboo Royal Security Force trained here, under a strict Zabrak instructor, before joining the force under Captain Magneta. (GMR2)

Tracking Dust
This was a form of tracking device that was little more than a powder that could be inhaled. When a targetted individual inhaled the dust, it sent out a signal that could be tracked by a remote observer for many months. (LF5)

Tracking Missile
This was a generic term used to describe any projectile weapon that had sensors systems built into its targetting computer which allowed it to track a specific target and report on its location. This allowed subsequent missiles to use the tracking missile's targetting data to locate the target, rather than acquiring their own lock. (CWTV38)

Track-trill
This device was often used by gamblers who cheat at spinnerpit and other similar games of chance. It allows them to magnetize specific tracks, causing the small balls to roll into those tracks. (MJEH)

Tracomp
A shipboard sensor that located a planet's magnetic poles for ground referencing. They were small components, capable of being removed and used in a handheld manner. When removed in this manner, a tracomp sensor could fit in the palm of a man's hand. (SME, LJ2)

Tra'cor
This large beast, native to the hidden oases of the planet Socorro, resembled an aquatic version of the rancor. The tra'cor lived it entire life in the water, ambushing its prey before consuming it in a few bites. (BSS)

TracSheet
This was a New Republic document which detailed all known information about a specific criminal. This document was based on an Imperial datafile maintained for the same reasons: to monitor the activities of criminals. (GG11)

Tract Authority
This was the branch of Makem Te's government that maintained The Tract. (GORW)

Tract Conviction
This was the body that was charged with the maintenance and upkeep of The Tract, located on the planet Makem Te. More than a million Swokes Swokes worked as accountants and recordkeepers on the Tract Conviction at one point, ensuring that a steady flow of credits was available to keep The Tract operational and functioning. Thousands of flatstenders worked within The Tract to ensure the placement of tiles remained correct, as well as to help families locate their tiles among the trillions of individuals represented there. (WOTC, GORW)

Tract of Gactimus
This was the unassuming title of the writings of Gactimus, one of the insectile beings who worshipped an obscure religion from their home on one of Triton's moons. The text of this tract contained what appeared to be rambling, incoherent words and sentences, leading many beings to discount it as a way to swindle innocent beings out of their credits. The opening verse of the first tract ran,

"Thus transitioned Gactimus,
Whose mind embraced clarity,
Where once his feet had embraced toil.
Quiet were his mindly manifestations,
Silent was his contented soul."

The insectile followers of this religion passed out copies of the first part of the Tract of Gactimus at spaceports throughout the worlds of the Domains of Triton, hoping to attract others to their religion. Starship captains came to loathe the twelve-page book, since the unusual text of its twenty verses only drew the attention of their crews away from their work. What many spacers did not realize was that the twelve pages they were given upon arrival within the Domains of Triton made up just the first of 313 distinct tracts that made up the saga of Gactimus. Each tract contained twenty verses, totalling 6,260 in all. While most beings could read the text, they were unaware that there were rules for the proper use of inflection and pronunciation when reading the tracts out loud. These beings were also unaware that any being who wanted to join the religion had to fully understand and master the tracts individually. Very few beings, besides the insects themselves, ever saw more than first few tracts, and only nine copies of the entire 313-tract Tract of Gactimus saga were ever produced. (OWS)

Tract, The
This was the Basic name, derived from an ancient Swoken term, of the vast cemetary established by the Swokes Swokes on their homeworld of Makem Te. In a ritual that was millennia in age, Swokes Swokes would place a ceremonial, two-meter-square tile in The Tract whenever an individual died. On top of this tile was a small stone pillar called a stela. By the time of the New Order, more than 1.2 trillion Swokes Swokes had been buried in The Tract, which covered more than seven percent of the surface on Makem Te. From space, The Tract appeared to be a northern polar ice cap, as was noted in the first scouting reports done on the Makem System by the Old Republic. This led to the addition of The Tract to the list of the galaxy's Twenty Wonders. The bodies of those Swokes Swokes who were represented in The Tract were actually chopped up or incinerated, and their remains were returned to the family as good luck charms. Only the stone tile was placed in The Tract. Many years later, The Tract was nearly destroyed when the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy. The alien invaders destroyed a refueling station that orbited Makem Te, in an effort to further hinder traffic flowing along the Perlemian Trade Route. The debris from the station crashed throughout the northern hemisphere of the planet, narrowing missing the land covered by The Tract. (WOTC, GORW)

Tracti
This unusual tree was grown by the Tusken Raiders of the planet Tatooine, in secret oases where it was hidden from prying eyes. The Tusken Raiders maintained small grove of tracti trees so that they could harvest its wood, which was often used to create the stocks and barrels of their primitive rifles. (NEGW)

Tracto-droid
This was a form of Jawa-built "ugly droid" that was built to serve as a sentry or scanning unit. These droids were equipped with tank treads for stability, and radar arrays or other sensors were installed to detect threats in the surrounding environment. (NEGD)

Tracton
This Quarren scientist was one of Senator Tikkes' aides, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Tracton had a background in planetology, and helped the Senator determine the mineral and biological wealth of planets. He was shot and killed on a remote world in the Kamdon System, when Aurra Sing attacked Senator Tikkes' starship while trying to kill Tikkes and the Dark Woman. (HFAS)

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

Tractor Beam
Any device which was used to immobilize and move an object. They were modified force fields which employ a graviton-flux beam to alter the shape of the surrounding space-time fabric. The shape was altered so that the target was caught on a ripple of fabric and then "rolled" back toward the generator. Thus, tractor beams can be used to maneuver ships in docking bays, as well as to contain a fleeing ship. In some instances, large tractor beams can also be used to destroy smaller ships by creating a large enough ripple to crash into the target. (E4, SWSB)

Tractor Cuffs
This was the name used to describe a specialized form of binders, which contained a miniature tractor beam generator in the locking mechanism. This allowed a policebeing or other law officer to not only bind the hands of a criminal, but to anchor them to a specific location with the tractor beam. This ensured that the captured individual did not try to escape. (LCF)

Tracyaat
This Mando'a word translated into Basic as "artillery." (OWS)

Tra'cyar mav
This Mando'a command translated into Basic as "Fire at will." (OWS)

Tracyn
This Mando'a noun translated into Basic as "fire." (OWS)

Tracy'uur
This Mando'a word translated into Basic as "blaster." (OWS)

Trade
If two tribes of Abyssin meet at an oasis during a plentiful season, they will Trade with each other. Gaunts, weapons, and young males and females were exchanged between the two tribes, ensuring both willl survive until their next meeting. (GG4)

Trade Alliance
This was one of the most reputable alliances of corporations and businesses found within the Cularin System, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (FOC3)

Trade City
This was one of the larger cities on the planet Arkania. (EGP)

Trade Commission
This was the group, formed by the Old Republic Senate, which looked for ways to enforce inter-system trade during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Commission decided that the taxation of trade routes was required in order to enforce the laws set up by the Senate. Many historians believed that this taxation forced the Trade Federation to blockade the planet Naboo in order to gain the attention of the Senate in order to overturn the taxation laws. (DMS)

Trade Conflicts
This was the term used by Daimaran historians to describe the various skirmishes that arose between Daimar and Rodia, during the fifty years that led up to the Clone Wars. The fighting started after tensions rose between the Rodians and the Daimarans, after the Rodians accused the humans of taking away profits from ships that were traveling along the Rodian Trade Routes. This situation arose because the planet Daimar was situated at an intersection of many Rodian hyperspace lanes, and many human spacers preferred to stop at Daimar rather than deal directly with the Rodians. Over time, these skirmishes led to full-blown war, with neither side gaining any control over trade in the sector. (FR)

Trade Council
This branch of the Old Republic oversaw the various changes in commerce that occurred when the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy. They were the primary body in mediating disputes over the availability to important technical parts and raw materials, especially when the requisition of a commodity caused economic hardship on a planet. (TCD)

Trade Defense Force
This was the name of the fleet of warships and military personnel who supported the Trade Federation, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Much of the Trade Defense was turned over to the Republic in the wake of the Battle of Naboo. (RP)

Trade Federation
This group was formed during the Old Republic, some 350 years before the Battle of Yavin, to monitor and maintain the delicate balances of power between the growing economies of the Core Worlds and the developing worlds of the remote Outer Rim Territories. Ostensibly, they were the policemen of commerce for the Old Republic, working to ensure fairness and mediate disputes between merchants and transport providers. The Federation became large enough, and powerful enough, to maintain a seat in the Galactic Senate as if they were a populated planet. Many outlying systems aligned themselves with the Federation, rather than requesting direct representation in the Senate, because it was a more expedient way to develop trade with the Core Worlds. However, the Trade Federation - controlled by the Neimoidian race - was inherently weak, and soon found itself under the control of Darth Sidious during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. A series of political maneuvers led to the Old Republic's taxation of trade routes in the galaxy, which took away much of the control and profit realized by the Neimoidians. In an attempt to force the repeal of the tax law, and under the control of Sidious, the Trade Federation threatened the world of Naboo by blockading all trade to and from the planet. The blockade was eventually broken during the Battle of Naboo, but the Federation had already outlived its usefulness to Sidious, who abandoned them when they could no longer control the situation. In the aftermath of the Naboo blockade, the Trade Federation's warfleet and its military personnel were absorbed into the Old Republic's own defense forces, and the Federation itself was restricted in its ability to do business. The Republic ordered the immediate downsizing of the Federation's droid forces, but many of these combat automatons were simply resold to Federation holdings. Nute Gunray, the Viceroy of the Trade Federation, survived imprisonment and maintained control of the Federation. However, he felt betrayed by Darth Sidious and so threw his support to Count Dooku and the Separatists. In the wake of the Clone Wars and the establishment of the New Order, the Trade Federation was absorbed into the Empire and Imperialized when Sentepeth Findos signed a treaty with the Empire. His assumption of power was questioned by other members of the Federation, who vowed to fight against any Imperial opposition. These small groups of resistance were eventually eliminated, and the Trade Federation ceased to exist. (E1, E1N, IS1, RP, COD, GB, SWDB, SWI84)

Trade Federation Armaments Committee
This branch of the Trade Federation Executive Board was charged with ensuring that the Federation's members and starships were properly protected against pirates and other threats. (SON)

Trade Federation Battleship
Based on Hoersch-Kessel Drive, Incorprated's huge, ring-shaped LH-3210 cargo freighters, the Trade Federation's battleships were heavily converted for military use. This conversion made them perfect for the Federation's use, as unsuspecting targets didn't realize they were under attack until it was too late. Measuring 3,170 meters in diameter, these battleships had huge storage areas in the outer hull, which surrounded the central, spherical command center. The Federation equipped each battleship with 1,500 Vulture droid starfighters, 50 C-9979 landing ships, 550 MTT troop transports, 6,250 AAT battle tanks, and 1,500 troop carriers. The ships were powered by a pair of Rendili Proton 2 sublight drives, supported by an array of Proton 12 drives as backup. Weaponry was limited by the original, non-military configuration, and consisted of 42 quad-laser batteries spaced around the outer hull. Given the ship's complement of droid starfigthers, where its primary defense force, the quad-laser armament was ultimately efficient, especially when supported by the battleship's potent shields. (E1, X1, IG1, OF)

Trade Federation Directorate
see Trade Federation Executive Board (NEGC)

Trade Federation Executive Board
This was the primary governing body of the Trade Federation, and was responsible for making the strategic decisions of the Federation. Also known as the Directorate, this seven-member body was controlled by the Neimoidian Inner Circle. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Darth Sidious arranged to have six of the seven members of the Board assassinated, leaving Nute Gunray as the sole survivor and, therefore, the new Viceroy. Gunray then filled the remaining six positions with puppets who would do his bidding. (SON, COD, NEGC)

Trade Federation Gunboat
This aquatic vehicle was specially-commissioned by the Trade Federation when it being preparing for its invasion of Naboo. It was designed to operate in the swamps and rivers of the planet, with heavy underpating to protect against underwater obstacles. It was equipped with heavy-duty engines and armor plating, and was armed with a turret-mounted twin laser cannon. The gunboat measured six meters in length, and required a pilot to operate. It could transport up to 40 kilograms of cargo and three passengers. (BFN, GMR3)

Trade Hall
The governmental building of the capital city of Brentaal, the Trade Hall was located in the city of Cormond. Most business which occurred in the Trade Hall had to do with some form of commerce or the regulation of economic policies. (SWJ7, CCW)

Trade Spine
see Corellian Trade Spine (TLC)

TradeChip
This was a form of holographic card, produced during the last decades of the Old Republic in large collections. Each collection had a theme, such as sports figures or holovid stars, and collectors could swap and sell their tradechips in order to complete an entire set. (HNN5)

TradeCo, Incorporated
Based on the planet Nubia, this transport company moved Nubian grains and foodstuffs throughout the sector. They were considered an upstart shipper, using custom-designed cruisers to move their cargoes. (CCW)

TradeFed
This was a common nickname applied to any vehicle or vessel that was produced by the Trade Federation, but made available for public sale, in the wake of the Battle of Naboo. (RCTC)

Traders' Alley
Located on the Blue Level aboard the Errant Venture, this bazaar-like area of shops and restaurants was a cash-only section of the ship. (SOP, IJ)

Traders' Coalition
This was the leadership organization that controlled the Free Trader Worlds, during the height of the New Republic. They demanded a price for everything, despite the fact that they called themselves "Free Traders." The Traders' Coalition managed to survive the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, and remained a strong commercial forces in the Inner Rim for many years afterward. (SOL, LF2)

Trader's Feet
This was a combination of dice, thrown during a casino game on the planet Ord Mantell. It was a winning toss, resulting in a windfall for the gambler. (ROP)

Trader's Gamble
One of the many additional features of the Free Trader's Guide to the Planets, the Trader's Gamble required a membership number and password in order to gain access. It was created to alert the paying members of the Lantilian Spacers Brotherhood of potentially lucrative markets. The downside of this service was that the worlds it highlighted also tended to be dangerous and remote. (SWJ10)

Traders' Grotto
This was the name given to a large, hollowed-out asteroid located in the Tatoo System. The Grotto was used by any number of independent starship captains as a kind of impromptu marketplace, where goods and services could be exchanged without governmental intervention. (SWGAL)

Trader's Guild
This was a loosely-affiliated group of free traders, established to ensure the rights of independent businessbeings during the height of the New Order. (SWGAL)

Traders' Guild
This was one of the largest affiliations of free traders and merchants who lived and worked in the Tarabba Sector of the galaxy, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (SWCL)

Trader's Luck
This ancient Liberator-class troopship began life as the Guardian of the Republic. Garris Shrike purchased the old ship and gutted the interior, refitting it to create various living environments for the smugglers, thieves, and strong-arms that made up Shrike's travelling horde. When Shrike was killed on Coruscant, the ship was abandoned and left for scrap. When it was sold at auction, the Corellian resistance purchased it and renamed it the Liberator. They donated the ship to the Alliance forces for the Battle of Ylesia. (TPS, RD)

Traders Plaza
This open area was located in the city of Talos, on Atzerri. Its design was such that unwary visitors to Atzerri were likely to lose their money as they pass through many unnecessary checkpoints, pay illusory tariffs, and shop for overpriced goods. For those travellers with experience on Atzerri, the Plaza's "merchants" act as scratchbacks. They herd the more adept travellers to more intense areas of the city. (SOL)

Trader's Quarter
This infamous section of the planet Ord Mantell was known for its seedy streets and shady businesses. (AIR)

Tradetown
This was the only sizable town on the planet Yelsain, and was also the site of the planet's specaport. Most of the planet's off-world inhabitants live in Tradetown. Most of the commerce that happens on the planet happens here, as metals and electronics were imported in exchange for exotic woods. (GG6)

Tradewyn
This Mon Calamari cruiser was the flagship of the Bornaryn Trading Company's fleet, and served as a mobile base of operations for Bornan Thul and his wife, the Lady Aryn Dro Thul, during the years following the Battle of Endor. The Tradewyn was something of a home for the Thul family, which also maintained a residence on Coruscant. However, because they were constantly moving about on business, the Tradewyn came to feel more like a real home. To ensure that this home was as fine as possible, Bornan Thul had high-end air filters and recyclers installed on the ship, to keep the air breathable and fresh at all times. All weapons systems could be controlled from the main bridge of the ship, although gunners were assigned to each station during normal operations.

It was aboard the Tradewyn that Lady Thul gave birth to the couple's only son, Raynar. After Bornan Thul went missing, during the height of the New Republic, the Tradewyn became the leader of the Bornaryn Trading fleet, leading the group of transport vessels on random jumps through hyperspace. Both Aryn Dro Thul and her brother-in-law, Tyko Thul, believed that the family would be targetted by the bounty hunters who were searching for Bornan, and did their best to avoid being captured. After Bornan's death, the Tradewyn continued to serve as the flagship of the Bornaryn Shipping Empire, in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (DIV, TEP, DN3)

Traffic Intervention Vessel
Known as a TIV, a traffic intervention vessel was produced specifically for use by the Grand Army of the Republic. These vessels were designed to move in and out of starship traffic, allowing clone units to reach a target vessel and board it with relative ease. Known among the clone troopers who flew them as "plain wrappers," TIVs were often civilian or corporate vessels that had been commandeered for the war, but were left in their original state as a kind of camouflage. Thus, when a TIV entered a combat zone, it appeared to be a simple civilian vessel, allowing the clone troopers to reach their target without taking much damage. (SWI87, RCTZ)

Traffic-robo
Any automaton programmed to monitor and direct ground-based traffic. (HSL)

TraffiDroid
This brand of automaton was developed to control inner-city traffic during the last years of the New Order. The TraffiDroid was essentially a four-armed sphere which floating on repulsors.

Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise, The
This was essentially the story of the Sith Lord Darth Plagueis, as related to others by his own apprentice, Darth Sidious. Sidous used the story - which he carefully couched as a legend before revealing his true nature - to explain the potential of Plagueis' power, yet highlight the pride and hubris that was common among the Sith. (E3N)

Tragett, Bogo
This Alpha Team leader led the second expedition to Maltha Obex, setting up a base from which Joto Eckels could operate. Traggett's team remained on the planet when Eckels left to deliver the Qella bodies to Coruscant, and was left stranded on the planet when Eckels returned. Eckels was forced to keep Tragett's team planet-bound, because the Teljkon vagabond had re-entered the system. (TT)

Traggisk

This was the transponder code of the X-Wing starfighter that was piloted by Jaina Solo, during the Galactic Alliance's attempt to counter the Corellian offensive known as Operation Noble Savage, some ten years after the end of the war with the Yuuzhan Vong. The code signified that her X-Wing was part of the Tralus Ground Occupation Force, and was denoted as fighter number 1103. (LF1)

Tragrud

Trailblazers
This group of freelance operatives often worked for the Alliance, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Trailia
This tropical world was a low-tech planet on the fringes of the known galaxy.

Training Hall
Located outside the city of Gadrin, on the planet Cularin, this facility was part of the Five Masters Academy that served as the base of operations for the Five Masters, during the final years of the Old Republic. A wondrous building of spires and stained-glass windows, the Training Hall was used by the Five Masters to train their disciples in meditation techniques and physical activity. Each of the Five Masters had their own training chambers, or galleries, indicated by their specific color. However, shortly after the end of the Clone Wars, the Training Hall was burned top the ground. (LFCW)

Training Lightsaber
Developed from a standard lightsaber, this weapon was created by the Jedi Order to allow very young students to begin training in the use of a standard lightsaber. Training lightsabers were nearly identical to a standard lightsaber, with the exception of its power and the possible exception of its size. Training lightsabers were meant to be used by young children with little combat experience. Thus, they had their ability to cut through materials greatly diminished in order to reduce injuries. (PJSB)

Training Prod
This was the specialized form of sparring weapon that was developed by the Jedi Knights to assist young Padawans in their education in lightsaber combat. Similar to a training lightsaber, the training prod would be wielded in training and mock combat. However, the training prod was not an energy weapon, and only delivered a mild electrical shock when it struck an opponent's flesh. (LF3)

Training Remote
This term was used to describe any remote or seeker which was used to train an individual for combat. Several different versions of training remotes were developed, depending on the type of combat an individual was training for. In general, these remotes had tiny repulsorlift engines which moved them about in the air, to strike from different locations and avoid being hit. Many of these devices were used to enhance the hand-to-eye coordination of gunfighters, but a good number of them - such as the Marksman-H from Industrial Automaton - were used to train Jedi Knights in blind-fighting techniques. (E4, PJSB)

TraitWare
This was the name given to the physical components which make up a droid, along with the computer code which provided a droid with personality and behavioral traits. The behavioral code was copyrighted by Sienar Intelligence Systems during the Galactic Civil War, in accordance with Imperial laws. (FOP, FTD, OWS, NEGD)

Traitware
This was the generic term used to describe the beasic abilities of a droid, that were usually hardwired into the droid's physical components. Traitware describes the droid's intelligence, speed, strength, and technical abilities. The term TraitWare was later copyrighted by Sienar Intelligence Systems. (NEGD)

Tra'kad
This Mandalorian term translated into Basic as "star saber." (LF8)

Tra'kad
This was the designation of the first Tra'kad-class transport produced by the Mandalorians, some ten years after the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War. The Tra'kad was still essentially a prototype when Boba Fett took it into battle near Fondor, after he was hired by Admiral Daala to support her secret fleet of vessels. The crew of the Tra'kad was able to board the Bloodfin in the wake of the fighting, in an effort to secure the vessel for Admiral Daala. The crew, which included Mirta Gev, was augmented by Boba Fett and the crew of the Orar during the attempt. They were unaware that the med runner that arrived after them was actually piloted by Jacen Solo, who used the ship's identity to allow him to rescue Tahiri Veila. (LF8)

Tra'kad-class Transport
This ungainly troop transport was one of the new classes of warships developed by MandalMotors some ten years after the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War, after a new lode of beskar was discovered on the planet Mandalore. Many beings described the Tra'kad as a flying slab of Mandalorian iron, and were surprised to find that the ship was quite maneuverable. The name of this class of ships came from the Mandalorian term for "star saber", and many non-Mandalorians simply referred to the ship as the StarSaber. The Verpine initially refused to purchase any of these ships, since they could find no mission profile in which to use the "primitive" ship. However, the twenty-meter-long Tra'kad was well armed and had overlapping fields of fire, ensuring that the ship had no blind spots that could be exposed by an enemy vessel. A cannon turret was mounted at each corner of the ship, as well as one turret on the top and one on the bottom. A modular weapons emplacement was installed on the top, giving owners a chance to install other weaponry.

In an emergency, the Tra'kad-class transport could operate on virtually no power. All major systems were equipped with manual backups such as gearwheels and compressed gas systems, and zero-power fiber optics provided targeting and steering capability. This allowed the ship to escape from situations where other vessels would be unable to defend themselves. The ship could be operated by a single individual, since the main controls were duplicated at various places, but it was most effectively manned by a crew of five. The full crew compliment made life aboard the ship quite cramped, since much of the interior space was used to house the redundant systems. (LF8)

Trakkie
This slang term was used in the Outer Rim Territories to describe any droid which used treads to rotating tracks for locomotion. (MC8)

Trakkrrrn
This creature was native to Kashyyyk, and was hunted by the Wookiees for its tasty meat. (RD)

Trammel, Rufus
This man was known as a "procurer of all things exotic" during the last decades of the Old Republic, which basically meant he was a poacher and a smuggler. An unpleasant man who nonetheless had an uncanny ability to locate just about anything, he was best known for his ability to obtain rare and unique creatures. Contrary to his image as a poacher and crime lord, Trammel himself was a slightly-built man who seemed too frail for his career. He was attracted to the moon of Dorumaa, where he hoped to locate incredible beasts in the deep waters of Dorumaa's oceans. He kept his dealings private, for the most part, after his misadventures on Blathar III. However, his continued presence in the Cularin earned him the ire of Nirama, who swore to feed Trammel to a slow-eating beast if he was ever apprehended. Trammel maintained a low profile, but continued to work on making inroads against the existing criminal organizations. After the Cularin System returned from The Blink, Trammel made plans to have his operations in the system controlled by Phylus Mon, a known slaver and crimelord with powerful ties to the Hutt criminal organizations. Trammel's possible absence made the minor criminal figures in Cularin wary of possible actions by Nirama, and many feared an all-out war between rival organizations. Meanwhile, at his floating base on Dorumaa, Trammel made plans to kidnap the leviathan known as Jessel, in an effort to reap a huge profit from the massive creature's popularity. His plan to move Jessel offworld was thwarted by a group of freelance agents who were working with the Dorumaa Research Institute. Trammel himself was not on the watery world at the time, and managed to escape. (LFCW, DC)

The reptiles were later were billed as modern-day dinosaurs, and a large tourist trade developed because of this. Many xenoarchaeologists believed that Trammis III was a possible birthplace of the Sharu, for many Toka spoke a dialect of the Trammic language. (LCM, GMR5)

Tramsig, Jir
This man was a Colonel in the Old Republic Navy, and was stationed in the platform city of Soboll during the last years of the Republic. He spent the early part of his career trying to move quickly through the ranks in the Old Republic in order to obtain a position of power. This earned a double-edged reputation: he showed promise as an officer, but he made some enemies along the way and was regarded as a manipulative man who put himself first and foremost. When he requested a posting in the Cularin System, it was immediately approved, and he spent a great deal of his time trying to rid the Cularin System's asteroid belt of criminals. He set up a base on operations on Dorumaa, choosing his troops carefully and with an eye toward loyalty and aggressiveness. It was Tramsig who pursued Ginder when he discovered that the Bimm had possession of the head of the former protocol droid L80-RC. Shortly afterward, however, Tramsig was promoted to the rank of Admiral by the Thaereian Military, and served as their spokesman during the Thaereian build-up after Cularin's disappearance. His presence within the Thaereian Military rankled many beings, including Nirama, who regarded them as "bantha-fondling psuedo-soldiers." The true level of his involvement was exposed when the slicer known as Tiny F discovered an encrypted transmission Tramsig had made to his Thaereian commanders scattered across the Cularin System. The message demanded the complete suppression of any rebellious activity, as Tramsig feared that the Cularin resistance had gained too much strength. A later transmission was intercepted at the height of the Clone Wars, in which Tramsig revealed that his forces had secretly been controlling trade in the Cularin System for three generations. The transmission, which featured Tramsig arguing his status with an unknown superior, further revealed that the disappearance of the Cularin System was supposed to have been permanent. The transmission ended with Tramsig declaring that he would kill every being the Cularin System if they failed to comply with the wishes of the Thaereian Military. (LFC, WOA4, LFCW)

This was the name given to the native language of the Trandoshan people. (LFCW)

Trando

Trandosha
This arid planet was the homeworld of the Trandoshan race of reptiloids. Known also as Dosha or Hsskor in the Trandoshan language, Trandosha was located in the same star system as Kashyyyk. (MTS, SWRPG, WOTC, NEGA)

Trandoshan
This race of humanoid reptiles was native to the planet Trandosha. They had long arms, which ended in wide, splayed fingers. Their heads were blunt, with beady red eyes and a mouth full of sharp teeth. Their scales ranged in color from orange to ochre to brown, and individuals with green scales were not uncommon. Much of their body could be regenerated if lost, so a Trandoshan could fight much harder without risk of permanent injury.

Being a vicious, warlike race, the Trandoshans evolved into hunters, and were especially proficient at hunting the Wookiees who lived on the nearby planet of Kashyyyk. Trandoshans - who referred to themselves as T'doshok - hunted Wookiees with a vengeance after the Wookiees put severe restrictions on tourist to Kashyyyk and the surrounding system, in an effort to halt the damage to their forests. This cut off large sums of credits from the Trandoshans, who retaliated by killing the Wookiees for sport. This practice was stopped by the Galactic Senate, which ruled that the Wookiees were not game animals and were to be left alone.

Many historians pointed to this as the reason that the Trandoshans were quick to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems, durnig the months following the Battle of Geonosis. It was a Trandoshan official who sold the idea of enslaving Wookiees - rather than simply leveling Kashyyyk - to the Empire, a deal which Emperor Palpatine readily agreed to.

After the Battle of Endor, Trandoshans were once again forced to stop pillaging Kashyyyk for Wookiee individuals when the New Republic threatened economic sanctions against them. This penchant for killing other sentient species led to a general belief that the Trandoshans were not to be trusted, despite the fact that they often pledged life-debts to those individuals who saved their lives.

As a race, the Trandoshans descended from a saurian species, and retained many of their ancestors' reptilian characteristics. The females of the species laid her eggs in clutches of up to four at a time, keeping them warm in a nest until their hatched. Once hatched, infants were allowed to hone their hunting instincts by chasing their siblings around. At the age of two, Trandoshans were taken on their first real hunts, and were taught how to use weapons and how to track their prey. (COTF, MTS, TBH, WOTC, NECH, NEGA)

(SWGAL)

Trandoshani Flatcakes
This ancient Trandoshan breakfast meal consisted of flatcakes that were cooked with a fruit-bsaed topping. If cooked and then served immediately, Trandoshani Flatcakes were considered almost too awful to eat.

Shortly after leaving Rodia, however, the Tranquility was attacked by Separatist warships. (CWTV09)

Tranquility Common
Located across the Canyonade from the Grand Rim Promenade, this small park was the gathering place of the people of Cejansij. Human and alien alike gathered there to show their support for justice in the galaxy. During the months after the revelation of the Caamas Document, the gatherings took on a new meaning which was denounced by the New Republic. The destruction of several worlds was enacted with lights and dance without any rage or anger. As Luke Skywalker discovered while walking the Canyonade with Moshene Tre, the demonstrators simply wanted the Republic to understand that justice must exist for all people, and should not be limited to any one event. (SOP)

Tranquility Spire
This towering spire was one of several that were part of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the final decades of the Old Republic. The Jedi Archives filled roughly a third of the Tranquility Spire, which was more than 2,500 years old at the onset of the Clone Wars. (CWWS)

Tranquility System I
This was the brand name of IntelStar's ground-based sensor blind system. (HAS)

Tranquility, The
This was one of the many taverns and restaurants located in the Spacer Quarter of Aldera, on the planet Alderaan. (CCW)

TransBormea Building
This was one of the largest corporate buildings found on Nar Shaddaa, during the years following the Alliance-Confederation War. (MF)

Transceiver Relay
This starship communications system could both send and receiver communications signals. It was designed to coordinate the hand-shaking that was necessary to maintain a two-way conversation. (MF)

Transcribot
This was a term that was originally created by Serv-O-Droid to describe any administrative droid that was programmed to transcribe newscasts and other audio media into text. (PH)

Trans-Dimensional Energy Streamer
This kind of star was a rare sort of pulsar that spewed out matter, energy, and radiation as it spun. The streamer itself was formed from multi-dimensional, gravitational curves which were invisible in the electromagnetic spectrum, but acted like a convergence of hyperspace mass shadows. In addition, the curves produced were never uniform, resulting in the Ei'shuun Aa Effect, which causes immense distrubances within a localized area of hyperspace. (SSR)

Transel
This backwater planet was the site of the sole manufacturing facility for the Dynamic-class freighter, during the years leading up to the Mandalorian Wars. (SSOG)

Transfer Circuits
Part of a ship's hyperdrive system (E5)

Transfer Register
A document which details the sale or trade of property or merchandise. The document was often nothing more than a computer file, but it contains electro-optically recorded prints of the buyer and seller. The register itself was impervious to break-in, having several layers of security built-in to provide completely accurate records of the transactions. (E4, HP)

Transfer Tunnel
This was another term for a cofferdam or other similar system that allowed beings to move between two starships in the vacuum of interstellar space. (A)

TransGal Circuit
This was one of the largest professional swoop racing circuits during the height of the New Order, having developed during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (SWJ2, HNN5)

Trans-Galactic Gaming Enterprises Corporation
This huge, galaxy-spanning corporation maintained a series of casinos and gambling halls on a multitude of worlds during the height of the New Order. (MA)

Transgalactic Perspectus
This regular newsfeed contained stories about the worlds of literature, culture, and art. (OWS)

TransGalMeg Industries
This diversified corporation, headquartered on the planet Narg, created a number of starship designs for internal use in its mining and colonization divisions. When these designs proved to be durable, TGM opened its shipyards to produce transport ships for the public sector. Its designs include the Xiytiar-class transport. The corporation was involved in a scandal some time shortly after the Battle of Yavin, when Braig Farool and his brother, Nak, attempted to gain power in Rayter Sector by kidnapping Crying Dawn Singer. Imperial Moff Nile Owen and a group of Alliance agents, working separately, discovered the plan and halted it. (DESB, EGV, TA)

Transglass
This incredibly strong, transparent form of glass was used to make the faceplates of many survival suits, as well as armored helmets. (GG8)

Transis Corridor
This long corridor was located aboard the Errant Venture, and was the site of many of the ship's bars and cantinas. (SQ)

Transit Galactic Shipping
This interstellar shipping and transportation company had several large warehouses on Cybloc XII. C-3PO and R2-D2 were "mailed" to one of these warehouses by Yarbolk Yemm, as part of their plan to expose the treachery of Dzym, Loronar Corporation, and Seti Ashgad. (POT)

Transit Tax
This was a fifteen percent tax, levied against the price of a seat aboard a passenger liner or transport ship, imposed the Old Republic Senate in an effort to raise funds for the government. It was leveled mainly at those seats sold aboard corporate luxury and passenger liners, shortly before the Clone Wars. (HNN4)

Transition
This was the term used by the Rakaans to describe a change in sex. (AE)

Transitory Mists
This vast area of ionized particles and stellar gases surrounds much of the Hapes Cluster and prohibits space travel beyond its borders. After Ta'a Chume defeated the Lorell Raiders, the pirates fled to the Mists and hid. The heavy amounts of ionization occurring in the Mists makes them hard to navigate, and little exploration of the interior of the region had been accomplished. Exploration and investigation of the Transitory Mists revealed that the mists could actuallly absorb light and block long-range sensors, making travel through the Mists difficult at best.

When the new Jedi Order broke away from the Galactic Alliance, some ten years after the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War, it was believed that the Jedi hoped to find a new base of operations somewhere in the Mists, in an effort to avoid being located by Jacen Solo. (CTD, LF3, LF8)

Transland Day
This was a Corellian holiday. It was marked by an influx of tourists from the entire Corellian Sector, and many tourists purchased souvenirs to commemorate their journeys. (OF)

Translatacomp
This was a specialized form of language translation unit, developed during the last years of the Old Republic. The Alliance used many of these outdated devices for exploration missions, since more modern models were quite expensive. (MC53)

Translation Pod
This specialized device could be placed in a room or chamber, to translate a number of alien languages for the others in the room. Most of these devices translated all received speech into Basic, regardless of the language that was spoken. (TCD)

Transliterator
This was a term used to describe a device which could translate the speech of one race into that of another. These devices were often worn around the neck, and could be programmed to speak in a variety of voices and accents. (SWJ14)

Translucence Cove
This secluded cove was located in the lake region of the planet Naboo, near Varykino. (LJ4)

Transmission Horn
An out-dated device used to transmit a signal to any number of receivers. It was often employed to transmit instructions to a large group of droids who were programmed for similar tasks. (HSL)

Transmitter Cap
This small explosive device used a tiny charge which could be detonated with a remote transmitter. (E1A5)

Transmogrifier
A device which was used to alter droid programming. (TME)

Trans-Nebular Sector
This area of the galaxy contained about eighty individual star systems, including the Goroth System. It was located in the Mid Rim, within The Slice. It was named for the Vestor Nebula, which was located within its boundaries. (GSE)

Trans-Nebular Zone
Located within the Trans-Nebular Sector, this collection of twelve star systems contained the Vestor Nebula and the Goroth System. (GSE)

Transnovel
This was a form of entertainment that was popular on Cadomai. (ISB)

Transonic Synthesizer
A device which was used in hypno-imprinting, the transonic synthesizer allows a number of commands and triggers to be imprinted on a person's mind while the person was under hypnosis. (HSL)

Transpacitor
This fist-sized device was used as a power shunt in a starship's hyperdrive system. (SC)

Transpariblock
This was a transparent form of brick of building block that was used in the creation of clear walls or forms of art. The Sullustan people used specially-designed transpariblocks during their funereal ceremonies, with each relative or friend placing a transpariblock into the crypt wall that protected the coffin of the deceased. (DN2)

Transparisteel
This strong, clear material was originally developed for use in manufacturing viewports for spaceships. It had the unique property of adjusting to the ambient lighting conditions, darkening when the light became brighter and clearing when the light was lower. Transparisteel could also be darkened or opaqued on command, and it was usually made opaque during transit through hyperspace, to help beings mentally handle the journey. Specialized, optically-enhanced transparisteel was developed by Kuat Drive Yards during the early years of the New Order, as a way of providing minimal cloaking for the Empire's huge warships. Nano-tech datalinks were imbedded into the transparisteel, and programmed to filter out specifc wavelengths or other visual data. Thus, a ship plated with this special transparisteel would seem almost invisible. However, this was an expensive technology, and never found widespread use. In the wake of the Galactic Civil War, techniques were developed to spin transparisteel into thin strands for use in fiber-optic communications networks for computers and droids. Other techniques allowed transparisteel to be rolled into thin sheets that altered the way light passed through it, and these thin sheets were used to create everything from window coverings to holiday masks. (CPL, SLS, LF1, DSTR, FJ1)

Transpasitor
This fist-sized piece of technology was an integral part of a starship's hyperdrive. Easy to repair, a transpasitor helped to regular the power that flowed from a generator to the hyperdrive system, ensuring a constant supply of power. Each transpasitor had to be properly calibrated for the ship in which it was installed, but this was a relatively simple operation. If not properly calibrated, or if damaged when a ship passed through an area of strong magnetic discharge, a transpasitor would fail to provide sufficient energy to enter or remain in hyperspace, which could cause collateral damage to the hyperdrive itself.

Although good-quality transpasitors were available at most spaceports, many smaller parts retailers often repaired damaged transpasitors and resold them. These repaired units, distinguished by the seam that was cut into the body of the unit and then welded back together, were inferior in both quality and durability. Despite their lower cost, they required replacement more often than their higher-quality counterparts. (LJ10)

Transpeeder
This was a military speeder produced by the Baktoid Armor Workshop during the last decades of the Old Republic. It never gained popularity among the Republic, and was eventually replaced with the Single Trooper Aerial Platform. Measuring two meters in length, the Transpeeder was a single-person combat vehicle which was armed with a pair of light laser cannons. Later models could also be armed with a single laser cannon and a fragmentation grenade launcher. (AEG)

Transplastoid
This material was used to create walls and exterior structures for large buildings. (SWJ9)

Transponder Code
This was the unique identification code that was installed in the sublight transponder of a starship. Each code contained information on the starship's name, owner, and type, and each code was recorded in the databases of the Bureau of Ships and Services (BoSS). The BoSS databases added further information on the ship's modifications, armament, and travel history. (SSOG)

Transponder Director
This part of a sublight transponder monitored the energy that was drawn from the sublight drive system to power the transponder. A constant stream of power was required to keep the transponder signal active. Many starship captains often shunted additional power into the transponder director in order to mask the identification signal that it produced, allowing the ship to move about without being identified. However, this technique also left behind a telltale heat signature that made it obvious that the transponder had been masked. This technique was also quite risky, since overheating the transponder director could lead the entire sublight transponder to fail, which would damage the sublight drive system and render it inoperative. (SSOG)

Transport Bathysphere
This was a form of submersible transport vehicle produced by Kulv-Bockar for use in the oceans of the planet Mon Calamari. These short-distance vehicles were designed to move up to sixteen passengers from one location to another, or for short sight-seeing trips. A trio of engines provided propulsion, with the port and starboard engines also providing maneuverability. (DU)

Transport Enveloper
This massive beast, bred by the Yuuzhan Vong, was used to transport heavy loads within their strange bodies. (FH3)

Transport Ship
Any starship which had been designed or modified to shuttle cargo from planet to planet. They were often not armed, but have been outfitted with hyperdrives for swiftness. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, the Alliance was forced to modify passenger liners for transport use. (E5)

Transport Sim
This form of virtual-reality arcade game was popular in the Core Worlds, during the final years of the Old Republic. In the game, players were allowed to experience the environments of far-flung planets and moons. Players were not limited to walking in these virtual environments, but could fly, float, or swim through them, depending on the whims of the player and the world's ecosystem. (CN2)

Transport Sled
This was a specialized form of repulsorlift platform that could be dragged behind and landspeeder or other repulsor vehicle. The transport sled was essentially a flat surface on which cargo could be placed, with the small repulsors keeping the entire sled off the ground. A pair of energy binders similar to those used to connect the engines of a podracer were used to tether the transport sled to the speeder. The speeder provided the propulsion and dragged the transport sled behind it. (CWTV22)

Transporter Disk
A large, repulsor-equipped disk used to move personal baggage from one location to another. (VP)

Transreal Numbers
This was a form of enumeration which involved mathematical descriptions of transient phenomena that occurred across dimensions, such as the boundary between realspace and hyperspace. (FH3)

Transsector Lines Limited
This independent transport service was based on the planet Elrood, and made regular runs between Elrood and Torina during the Imperial occupation of Elrood Sector. Their headquarters was located in the city of Dinbar, but Transsector maintained a service location in the Perma of the Elrood Bazaar. (PG3)

Trans-shield
This was a form of security shield that could be deployed around an airspeeder or other personal vehicle. The trans-shield surrounded the vehicle, preventing energy and projectile weapons from harming the occupants. (CWWS)

TranStar Construction
This interstellar construction corporation invested a great deal of credits in the building of cities on the planet Tasariq, hoping to recover their investment through the sale of Tasar Crystals. (SWJ15)

TransTech Droidworks
Based on the planet Loken III, this small producer of automatons was targeted by the Confederacy of Independent Systems to takeover in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis. The Separatists had begun working with TransTech to produce battle droids, but the sudden appearance of the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic meant that suppliers like TransTech were forced to overproduce, in order to ensure a steady supply of combat droids reached the battlefield. However, the Old Republic learned of the TransTech facility before its defenses could be completed, and an attack was launched to eliminate it. (SWMW)

Transtom
An Imperial fuel ship destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (XW)

TransVere
This was the name of the procedure which verified a starship's transponder codes. (PSG)

Transwall
A false, movable wall used in many security offices. (JH)

Trans-Zone Development and Exploitation Consortium
This corporation was a front for one of the Huttese gambling syndicates which operated in the Outer Rim Territories during the height of Emperor Palpatine's New Order. (MA)

Trant, Crider
This man was a native of the planet Naboo, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Trant, Secesh
This woman served as the paymaster for a group of pirates that was active during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. Unknown to the pirates, Trant was actually an agent of the Destabilization branch of the Imperial Intelligence agency, who was working to discover beings and organizations that could assist in crushing the Alliance. She traveled to Ananuru with Saminawala and Saminawassa, during their attempt to obtain the plans to an Imperial virus project, hoping to eventually recruit the two Fras into her team of agents. When Hakon de Ville started his auction to sell the datachip containing the plans for the virus, Trant stepped forward to simply take the datachip in the name of the Empire. She declared that any being on Ananuru to bid on the datachip would be declared an enemy of the Empire unless they withdrew from the auction. Her actions set off a massive brawl, and the datachip was destroyed in the fighting. (CH72)

Tranthebar Mountain Ripper
This large, avian predator was native to the planet Thranthellix. These birds were captured by the natives of the planet and trained to serve as hunters, although individuals were never truly domesticated. The average ripper measured up to three meters in length, from beak to tail, and had a wingspan over five meters or more. During the height of the New Order, illegal tranthebar races were staging on many planets in the Core Worlds, and smuggling of these creatures off Tranthellix became a profitable endeavor. Racers used sophisticated control units to handle the birds, and were strapped to their bellies while in flight. (GFT)

Tranthellix
This planet was famous for its sky cities. (EGV)

Trantor
This planet was under Imperial control during the Galactic Civil War. (SWJ8)

Trantor Center
This spa and exercise gym was located on Coruscant, near the Senate Chamber, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (DMSH)

Trantor Pigeon
This avian creature was native to the planet Coruscant, where it moved about the cityscape in huge flocks. (YDR)

Tranyc
This Mando'a word translated into Basic as "sunny," although the litera, translation was "star-burned." (OWS)

Trap
This clone trooper served as the commanding officer of Tango Company, during the height of the Clone Wars. Known for his brusque demeanor, Trap would often wake off-duty troopers by firing a blaster weapon in their quarters. Trap was one of the few clone troopers of Tango Company who were not infected by brain worms when the unit accompanied Jedi Master Luminara Unduli to Geonosis, about a year after the onset of the Clone Wars. When Tango Company blasted away from Geonosis aboard the medical frigate TB-73, Trap began to notice that several of his clones were acting strangely. When he and Havoc went to discuss the situation with Barriss Offee and Ahsoka Tano, the two Jedi who were accompanying them, the clones found themselves facing two Jedi with their lightsabers drawn. Barriss and Ahsoka had been attacked by Ox and Edge, but had managed to knock them both unconscious. Ahsoka was wary at first, and Trap was forced to place his own weapon on the ground in order to gain the confidence of the Jedi. Although their faith in him was well-placed, Trap eventually stumbled upon the egg of a brain worm and was himself infected. He then tried to attack Barriss Offee, who was forced to stab Trap in the chest with her lightsaber in order to prevent him from killing her. (CWTV30)

Trap of Passion, The
This was a term used by certain Jedi Masters, such as Djinn Altis, to describe the Jedi Order's belief that attachment was inherently evil and a path to the Dark Side of the Force. Under the leasership of Masters Yoda and Mace Windu, the Jedi Order believed that attachment led to suffering, which led to fear and anger. Adherence to these tenets led the Jedi Order to prohibit any form of emotional attachment, which Master Altis and others chose to ignore. (CWNOP)

Trap Skin
This was a percussion instrument used by smazzo drummers. (SHPT)

Trap, The
Located within Exovar's Emporium, on the planet Neftali, this relaxation chamber was maintained by Kaori Batta, and displayed some of his most impressive kills. (WSV)

Trap, The
This was one of the oldest starfighter maneuvers, used to eliminate an attacking ship with assistance from a wingman. Despite the fact that this tactic was well-used, it remained extremely effective in active combat. Once a pilot recognized that he had an enemy fighter pursuing him, he could call on a wingman to move into a position just behind and on one side of the enemy fighter. The defending pilot would then turn sharply to their open wing, drawing the attacker into a similar path. However, this brought the attacker into the trailing wingman's sights, allowing the wingman turn in the same direction and fire at the enemy. (RASB)

Tra'Parr'Sratt
This Coynite followed the Cradle Law to the letter, following his insane father's wishes. In his native tongue, Sratt's name literally means "my father's promise." Among those wishes, Tra'Parr'Sratt was ordered to kill his seven brothers, his mother, and finally his father. This order was carried out, and many Coynites agree that was was the highest form of familial honor ever displayed. He was offered riches and political power, and was courted by many nobles families for his incredible loyalty. Tra'Parr'Sratt, however, could not reconcile the murder of his family, and he eventually fled Coyn. Sratt found work as a first mate and strong arm aboard several smuggling ships, and was given an honorary membership to the Society of the Black Bha'lir. Eventually, he went to work for the gangster Abdi-Badawzi, serving as a personal guard to the Twi'lek. He was present when Kaine Paulsen's wife gave birth to a son, and held the infant during the woman's unfortunate death. Because of the events surrounding the birth of Drake Paulsen, Sratt gave him the nickname Lom, which meant "freedom" in the Coynite language. After seeing Drake stand up to Imperial Lieutenant Taggert, Sratt amended the nickname to Lom'Ka'Sol. (SWJ2, BSS)

Trappano, Kinsal
This alias was used by Mace Windu, during his attempt to infiltrate his homeworld of Haruun Kal, during his search of Depa Billaba. Trappano was a Corellian smuggler, who also spent time as a pirate and gunrunner during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The alis was discovered by Lorz Geptun. (SHPT)

Trapper
This clone trooper was assigned to Commander Ponds and his unit, serving under Jedi Master Mace Windu during the Battle of Malastare. (CWTV40)

Trapper
This ARC Trooper was part of the team assigned to Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, during the Galactic Republic's attempt to capture Poggle the Lesser, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. Kenobi, along with Anakin Skywalker and Ki-Adi-Mundi, was part of a three-pronged attack that was devised to ensure the mission's success. However, the Geonosians were ready to defend their planet, and they managed to shoot down Kenobi's gunship. Trapper and Kenobi were the only survivors when their gunship crash-landed on Geonosis, although they were later rescued by Waxer and Boil. Trapper was later assigned to the task force led by Jedi Master Mace Windu that was sent to assist the Dugs during the Battle of Malastare. (CWTV27, CWTV40)

Trap-spinner
This creature was native to the lower levels of the Kashyyyk forest. (HT)

Traptoforian Razor Slug
This was a species of dangerous, dusgusting gastropod. (LSSM)

Trarr
This Gado worked on his homeworld as a transparisteel maker, working in the Old Patch district during the early years of the New Republic. In his spare time, Trarr was a noted forger, and was often hired by the Tundei regime as a spy. (CCW)

Trarra
This plant, native to Carest 1, produced a flavorful berry that was eaten by the Jiivahar. (SWJ14)

Trascor
This planet was the homeworld of the Shatra race. (AE)

Trash Bat
This was another name for the tregoth. (RESB)

Trask
This Bothan was among the slaves who were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong and forced to work aboard the dhuryam seedship controlled by Ch'Gang Hool, shortly after the Battle of Coruscant. Trask suffered a broken ankle while working for one of the immature dhuryams, and only the intervention of Jacen Solo give the injury a chance to heal. (T)

Trask
This man was in command of the first human scout team to visit the planet Trinta. Like others before him, Trask learned that there was something unusual about the planet that made it virtually uninhabitable. He reported directly to Director Greeley. (DOE)

Trask, Anson
This man was one of the many stormtroopers who served the Empire, nearly a century after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The son of a combat veteran, Anson wanted nothing more than to follow in his father's footsteps. About seven years after Darth Krayt took control of the galaxy, Trask was assigned to Joker Squad of the 407th Stormtrooper Division, again following in his father's steps. He was given the nickname of Noob, since he was a "newbie" to the unit. Trask nearly got into trouble upon landing on Yinchorr, when he insulted the Sith Lord, Darth Maleval, who had been dispatched to take command of the 407th. He was rescued by this commanding officer, Sergeant Harkas, and was given a brief hazing by the other squad members before they were forced into action.

Under the watchful of of Darth Maleval, Trask and the 407th were dispatched to Borosk to eliminate the 908th Stormtrooper Division, which had defected and remained loyal to former Emperor Roan Fel. The fighting on Borosk was Trask's first taste of actual combat, and he froze during the initial attack on the 908th's headquarters, until he realized that Jes Gistang was unaware of the trooper behind her position. Acting on instinct, Trask killed the other stormtrooper, but later had trouble reconciling the fact that he had killed a fellow stormtrooper in battle.

His concerns only mounted when Lord Maleval demanded a show of loyalty form the squad's commander, Lieutenant Gil Cassel. Maleval captured Cassel's brother, Jared, and demanded that the Lieutenant execute him as a traitor to the new Empire. Cassel hesitated, and Maleval threatened to kill them both, before Hondo Karr tried to intervene. Maleval used his energy whip to subdue Karr, all the while shouting that all enemies of the Sith would die. This angry outburst gave Trask a few moments where he acted out of instinct, shooting the massive Quarren to death in an effort to save his squadmate and officer.

Sergeant Harkas, who was badly injured in the fighting, later reported that Maleval had been killed in combat. Since he was relegated to the hospital to recover from his injuries, Harkas turned over leadership of Joker Squad to Trask, who was the team's only other official survivor. Once Harkas had recovered, he and Trask were dispatched to Ossus, on a mission led by Darth Stryfe to investigate a rumor that the Jedi had returned to the planet. (SWLN, SWLC)

Trasli District
This area of the city of Talos was located just outside the Pemblehov Distrcit. Joreb Goss' Atrium 41 was located in Trasli. (SOL)

Trass
This being worked for Joreb Goss at Atrium 41, in the city of Talos. Trass was in charge of accommodations. (SOL)

Trasse
This arid planetoid was the site of an Imperial training facility, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Much of the surface of Trasse was covered with craters, which provided a unique training ground for officers to learn how to command their troops from remote locations. (FC)

Trassitan
This planet was located near the Gree Enclave. (HNN5)

Trast Heavy Transports
Manufacturers of armored troop transports, Trast was a wholly-owned subsidary of The Tagge Company. (RASB, CSA, SWJ2)

Trat'ade
This Mando'a word translated into Basic as "forces." (OWS)

Tratlin
An alien race. (SSR)

Trattok'or
This Mando'a verb translated into Basic as "to fail," "to fall," or "to collapse." (OWS)

Tratur
This Mando'a verb translated into Basic as "to staff" or "to form the strength of." It could also mean "to represent," depending on the context in which it was used. (OWS)

Trauger
Several generations before the Galactic Civil War, this bounty hunter came to the planet Socorro looking for a target in Cjaalysce'I. A vicious man, Trauger was easily recognized by his cybernetic arms. He demanded that one of the native nomads act as his guide, and threatened to kill a woman every minute until one agreed. The first woman he threatened was Oceke's mother, and Oceke was forced to assist him. However, Trauger underestimated the will of the nomads, for Oceke - furious at Trauger's treatment of his mother - led Trauger to an area covered with pockets of deadly gas. Trauger, unaware of the treachery until it was too late, died in the desert before he could escape the gas. From that point forward, the deadly gas found in the desert was known as Trauger Gas. (BSS)

Trauger Gas
Known to the native Socorrans as traugi'ha, this gas was named for the bounty hunter Trauger, who came to Socorro looking for a target. The gas was found mainly in the northern polar regions, and was odorless and colorless. It forms when chemicals in the volcanic sand of the planet mix with water, forming a highly corrosive acid during the spring. As the hot summer baked the sand, the water in the acid evaporates, leaving behind the deadly gas. A being caught in a pocket of Trauger Gas will survive for just a few minutes, often just long enough to realize they peril before they expire. (BSS)

Travale
This was the codename of a man who served the Old Republic as an infiltration agent, and was the Republic's primary contact within the Escarte Commerce Guild during the height of the Clone Wars. Travale's alias was as an officer in the Escarte Guard. Thus, when Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived on Escarte in search of Thal K'sar, Travale was able to explain to them that the Bith had been arrested. It was Travale who arranged for the two Jedi to be "arrested" and put into the same holding cell that Thal was in. Travale later arranged a convenient power outage that allowed them to escape. (LEV)

Traval-Parcor System Institute of Technology
This university taught a variety of courses on modern technology. (AIR)

Travanne, Iolyn
This man served the Empire as a Commander in the armed forces, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was stationed on the planet Rimma, where he commanded the garrison which was controlled by Imperial Governor Alyk Krysusten. (GCG)

Travekker's Helm
This was a specialized form of headgear that was produced by the Wookiees of Kashyyyk. This may simply be a misspelling of Traveller's Helm. (SWG2P)

Travel and Transport Bureau
This branch of the Old Republic was dedicated to investigating accidents and hijackings of starships and pleasure crafts throughout the galaxy. (TAE)

Travel Biscuits
This was a brand of dry crackers developed for easy storage aboard starships. They were quite nutritious, but generally bland in flavor. (BP)

Traveler
This was the name used by a human female encountered by Dariana many years before the onset of the Clone Wars. Dariana met the woman in the jungles of the planet Cularin when she was nineteen years old, and the silence they shared spoke more to Dariana than their words. Dariana introduced herself, and the woman simply replied that she was "a Traveler." That was the extent of their conversation, but their silence showed both women that each had nothing to fear from the other. Dariana later used the story of this encounter to discuss the situation in the Cularin System with her fellow Tarasin, during the height of the Clone Wars. Dariana warned that the silence between two beings often spoke louder than any words, and that the Tarasin needed to consider every aspect of their lives and interactions in order to truly grasp the larger picture. (LFCW)

Travelers of Gap Nine
This was the name used by the natives of the planet Gap Nine to describe the ancient beings who first came to their planet. The Travelers were arrived in two waves: a wave of monsters and fiends initially, then a group of knights who arrived to dispatch them. The monsters who arrived first created wondrous temples where they worshipped their own dark gods. The knights who vanquished them restored the temples and used them as libraries and museums. (SWJ7)

Traveler's Palace

He realized that he had been had when he took a taste of the egg's contents, which strongly tasted like starship fuel. (TMEC)

Travis Motors
This small corporation, based on the planet Brentaal, produced a wide range of cargo-handling vehicles. (CCW)

Travnin
This moon, which orbits a gas giant located in the Minos Cluster, was the Imperial sector capital during the New Order. The moon was a windswept world which supports some rough terrain, including mountains and deserts. The gas giant it orbits was the only planet in the system, itself orbiting a double star. Travnin supports no life on its own, and the human settlers were clustered around a single city and starport. Much of the commerce on the moon was geared toward supporting the Imperial garrison, and when the Empire pulled out of the Cluster, the moon's fortunes went with it. A swoop racing arena was built by the Empire as a form of entertainment and an outlet for frustrated energy, but the poorly-built structure quickly fell into disrepair. Its rotation lasted about 26 standard hours, and its orbit consumes 325 local days. (GG6)

Tray
This young Vorzydiak was one of the original members of the Freelies, some eleven years before the Battle of Naboo. Despite her love of her grandmother Ina, it was Tray who convinced Flip to turn to more violent displays of sabotage. She believed that Flip would be a good leader, and that he needed to impress Grath with his initiative. Unfortunately, Flip's plans included the bombing of the Multycorp building, where Ina was in a meeting. Ina survived the blast, but Flip was killed. Tray agreed to work with Grath and his father, Chairman Port, to peacefully come to terms on the availability of more free time in the Vorzydiak schedule. (TTW)

Traya, Darth
This was the name adopted by former Jedi Master Kreia, when she turned to the Dark Side of the Force and joined the Sith, in the wake of the Mandalorian Wars. She didn't reveal her true self until after the Jedi Civil War, when she chose to adopt her former name in order to locate The Exile. After Kreia was exiled from the Jedi Order, she traveled to Malachor V to locate Revan. Once there, she trained at the Trayus Academy, and eventually became Darth Traya. She chose two of her students, Darth Sion and Darth Nihilus, to form the base of power for the Sith on Malachor V, although they did not hold to her belief that a true Sith needed to understand the Light Side of the Force to be truly powerful. Historians believed that she was either exiled by her former students or betrayed by them, forcing her to set out on her own. She was able to sense the presence of her former student, The Exile, and discerned that he might be one of the last of the Jedi. She set out to locate him, and was forced to fight past Darth Sion in order to retrieve him at Peragus II. During the subsequent battles she fought with The Exile, Darth Traya maintained her appearance as Jedi Master Kreia, although she often let small suggestions of her true self come out in her actions. After The Exile traveled to Onderon and defeated General Vaklu and Tobin, Kreia realized that her "pupil" was now growing in strength, and would become a threat to her triumverate of power. She tried to kill him on Dantooine, where the surviving Jedi Masters had gathered, but was forced to flee before she could make sure that he was dead. Darth Traya returned to Malachor V and began to prepare to defeat her student. After the deaths of Darth Nihilus and Darth Sion, Darth Traya was the only surviving member of her order, and she was prepared to fight The Exile to the death. In the battle, she nearly fell to the younger man, but managed to use the Dark Side of the Force to fling three lightsabers at him. Forced to deal with this threat, The Exile lost sight of Darth Traya briefly, but defeated her lightsabers and returned to confront her. Defenseless without her lightsabers, she was unable to stop his advance. Before he killed her, The Exile demanded that she tell him something of the future, in an effort to decide what he should do next. (KOTOR2)

Trayus Academy
This was the name of the Sith training facility that was established in the Malachor Depths by Darth Traya, during the years following the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War. (KOTOR2)

He also rarely moved about the mines without the protection of a gang of loyal thugs. (GORW)

Tre, Moshene
This Rellarin was the Un'Yala of the Cas'ta tribe on Rellnas Minor. He was also a New Republic Observer in charge of patrolling the sector around Cejansij.

Treatise on Starfighter Tactics
Written by Adar Tallon, this document described the five basic components to most starfighter combat. Tallon described each of these components as phases of combat, each of which had its own importance. He detailed the following components: detection, the electronic and visual identification of targets; closing, the reaching of an advantageous attack position; attack, the engagement of an enemy ship; maneuver, the evasion of weaponry and attack; and disengagement, the retreat or escape from combat. (RASB)

Treaty of Anaxes
This was the treaty that was signed by the Galactic Alliance and the New Empire, many years before the Sith-Imperial War. As signed, the Treaty of Anaxes required the governments to provide mutual support to each other in the case of another massive invasion of the galaxy, such as the invasion that was carried out by the Yuuzhan Vong. Included in the Treaty's parties were the Jedi Order and the Imperial Knights, who could tap into the Force to aid in the galaxy's defense. With the failure of the Ossus Project, the Moff Council demanded retribution for the problems that occurred because of the use of Yuuzhan Vong terraforming technologies, and invoked the Treaty of Anaxes in order to overcome the perceived threat. The Galactic Alliance and the Jedi Order refused to support, and Kol Skywalker seemed to have knowledge of what had gone wrong with the Ossus Project. Although Emperor Fel agreed to allow Skywalker the time to gather and present his evidence, the Moff Council acted to ensure the truth was never exposed. Bypassing Emperor Fel, the Moffs declared war on the Galactic Alliance, bringing in Darth Krayt and the Sith Lords to ensure the safety of the galaxy. The resulting conflict became known as the Sith-Imperial War, and culminated with the Massacre at Ossus and the Sith takeover of the planet Coruscant. (SWLB, SWLHT)

Treaty of Coruscant
Despite its name, much of the groundwork for the Treaty of Coruscant took place on the planet Alderaan. The signing of this treaty took place some 3,653 years before the Battle of Yavin, and signaled the end of the Great Galactic War. The war had raged for decades, and had taken its toll on both the Sith Empire and the Old Republic. When the Sith offered to discuss a cease-fire on the planet Alderaan, a task force made up of Republic leaders and Jedi Knights was sent to represent the Galactic Republic. However, unknown to the Republic, the Sith Emperor had planned to launch a surprise attack on the planet Coruscant. This attack was meant to capture the Supreme Chancellor and hold him - and the rest of the Republic - hostage, ensuring that the negotiations would be carried out on terms that were defined by the Sith. Despite the fact that Lord Angral executed the Mon Calamari Chancellor, the leaders of the Republic Senate ultimately were forced to concede to the Sith terms, and the Treaty of Coruscant was signed. The signing gave the Sith unprecedented control of the galaxy, and forced the Republic to withdraw all of its military forces from Sith-controlled worlds. The Jedi Order, which had also been targetted by Lord Angral, was reduced in both its numbers and its abilities, and droid observers were placed with every known Jedi Knight in the galaxy. Those Jedi Knights who avoided being recognized retreated to Tython, leaving the Republic without the guardians that had protected it for generations. (TOP1, SWORW)

Treaty of Generis
The document which officially bound the Atrivis Resistance Group to the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. (RASB)

Treaty of Raquish
This agreement between the Andoan Free Colonies and the natives of the planet Ando ended the bloody conflict known as the Battle of Raquish, which occurred on the planet Ando during the height of the Old Republic. Like many such battles which took the lives of thousands upon thousands of Aqualish, it was blamed on the demilitarization forced on the planet Ando by the Old Republic. The battle was finally ended when both sides agreed to sign the Treaty of Raquish, which forbade either side to launch any sort of attack against the civilian population of either side. (SWI67)

Treaty of Trammis
This famed treaty was orchestrated by the Jedi Master Omo Bouri, 124 years prior to the Battle of Yavin. (SWDB, NECH)

Treaty of Vontor
This ancient contract bound the Nikto, Vodran, and Klatooinan races to the Hutts in perpetual servitude. It was signed nearly a millennia before the formation of the Old Republic, before the reign of Xim the Despot was ended at the Third Battle of Vontor. By virtually enslaving the three races, the Hutts gained access to a huge pool of strong, able-bodied soldiers and warriors, which proved to be crucial in overthrowing Xim's regime. (GG12, NEGA)

Treaty of Vors
This historic event took place 166 years before the Clone Wars. (HNN5)

Treaty Recording System

Treblanc, Romeo
This man was a noted holodrama actor who retired after a number of successful premiers and bought the Galaxies Opera House on Coruscant, several years before the onset of the Clone Wars. He worked almost as hard at maintaining his public image as he did managing the theater, and was often seen in the company of Coruscant's most influential Senators and businessbeings. However, despite the success of the Galaxies Opera Houe, Treblanc lost a small fortune while gambling on podraces. Just when he thought he would have to sell the theater, he learned that Chancellor Palpatine was willing to fund the facility. In exchange, the Chancellor only asked for a private viewing box that was protected by the latest in security systems. Treblanc thought the elaborate system of security a small price to pay to retain the theater, especially when Palpatine offered to hire his own team to arrange for the box to be protected. Treblanc was able to maintain ownership of the Galaxies Opera House, but was unaware of the dealings that often happened in Palpatine's box. (SWDB)

Trebor, Coleman
This male Vurk was a noted Jedi Knight who served on the Jedi Council during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. Master Trebor joined the Council after Yarael Poof was killed, and was known for his diplomatic skills in resolving conflicts. He put these skills to good use as the official spokesbeings for the Jedi Order, answering questions for the public and the media. When Mace Windu formed a task force to combat the Separatist army on Geonosis, Coleman Trebor was one of the many Masters to accompany Windu. Unfortunately, his lack of combat experience became clear during the early stages of the battle. Trebor was killed shortly after confronting the renegade Jedi, Count Dooku. The bounty hunter Jango Fett shot and killed Trebor without warning, killing the reptilian Jedi on the spot. (HNN4, E2, SWDB, SWI62)

Trebor, Epoh
This man was a noted comic and entertainer during the last years of the Old Republic. A talent for many decades, Trebor spent many years traveling the galaxy to entertain military units. When the Clone Wars broke out, Trebor joined Jasod Revoc's Galactic Revue and traveled across the galaxy to entertain the troops of the Grand Army of the Republic. He was always brought on stage with the musical accompaniment of the music of Appreciated Reminiscences, which became his theme song. Note that Epoh Trebor is actually Robert Hope spelled backwards, a reference to the late Bob Hope. (MBS, MJH)

Tredway, Axton
This former Jedi Knight was a descendant of the Tredway family which owned the 24 Tredway asteroid in the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt. He and his wife ran the mines to earn a living for their family, which included two children: Dena and Erling. Axton, like many Jedi of his age, fought in the Clone Wars, and became good friends with Anakin Skywalker. He even introduced Anakin to his family on 24 Tredway. However, the victory in the Clone Wars was a hollow one for Axton, and he returned home saddened at the state of the Old Republic. Shortly after Palpatine declared himself Emperor, Axton was hunted down and executed by Darth Vader on 24 Tredway, an event which shook his entire family. Axton's wife carried on, making the mines on the asteroid profitable enough to put Dena and Erling through school. However, both children joined the Alliance - in their own ways - and earned the anger of Imperial Governor Sebastian Parnell. In an effort to capture Erling, Parnell destroyed 24 Tredway, killing Axton's wife and severely injuring Dena. (JH)

Tredway, Dena
This daughter of Axton Tredway, Dena was an idealistic young woman who met Anakin Skywalker when she was very young. She remembered him as quite handsome, and vowed to live her life as her father and the Jedi Knights would have wanted. She joined the Alliance shortly after the Empire took control of the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt, and became one of Mon Mothma's closest aides. Her position with the Alliance was troubled when her brother, Erling, became the target of Imperial Governor Sebastian Parnell. Mon Mothma feared that Erling's knowledge of Alliance bases throughout the galaxy - and his perfect recollection of their galactic coordinates -would doom the Alliance. Since Erling was fomenting rebellion in the Sil'Lume Belt, Mon Mothma requested Dena to put an stop to his rebellion. She was unable to to so before Governor Parnell attacked 24 Tredway, killing Dena's mother and capturing Erling while severely injuring Dena in the process. She was rescued by Luke Skywalker, Gideon Smith, and Sidney Shortfang, who took her to Ire Eleazari's asteroid to recover. (JH)

Tredway, Erling
This son of the Jedi Knight Axton Tredway, Erling had an uncanny ability to remember the exact galactic coordinates of every planet or moon he visited, as well as the coordinates of thousands of other locations he had only heard of. Like his sister, Dena, Erling met Anakin Skywalker at a young age. Unlike Dena, though, Erling grew to hate the Jedi and their "misguided righteousness" because of the death of Axton at the hands of Darth Vader. Erling decided to fight against the Imperial occupation of the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt in a non-violent manner, and became the target of presecution from Imperial Governor Sebastian Parnell. Parnell eventually captured Erling, killing Erling's mother and severely injuring Dena in the process. Unknown to Erling, Dena had been ordered by Mon Mothma to keep Erling quiet, a mission picked up by Luke Skywalker after he rescued Dena. Luke, with the help of Gideon Smith and Sidney Shortfang, managed to rescue Erling from Tol Ado. During the escape, Erling had to pretend to be Darth Vader himself, in order to get past Parnell and escape the facility. Erling was thankful for his rescue, and joined the Alliance as an operative. Erling was part of a mission - along with Shira Brie and Kyle Katarn - that was dispatched to disable the superlaser of the second Death Star, while it was en route at D'rinba IV. (JH, WOTC)

Found near the city of Kachirho, on the planet Kashyyyk, the Tree of Life was believed to have mystical powers that could only be felt during the Life Day celebration. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, the Wookiees managed to send a wroshyr specimen to Naboo, where the Wookiee population on that planet could also observe the Life Day celebration. (SWGAL)

Tree of Life
This Wookiee hymn was often sung during the Life Day celebration, in honor of the Tree of Life that grew in the jungles of Kashyyyk. The hymn allowed Wookiees who were offworld or enslaved to continue to celebrate Life Day, even if they couldn't attend the ceremonies. (PH, SWGAL)

Tree of Light

Tree Viper
Native to the thin band of rainforests on the planet Najarka, these snakes were not only poisonous but also constrictors. This makes them deadly predators, for any creature that can shrung off the effects of the poison was held within the snake's coils and suffocated. The poison of the tree viper attacks the voluntary muscles of its victim, paralyzing the prey while the snake wraps its coils around it. If the prey survives both the initial effects of the poison and the constricting grasp of the snake, the poison attacks the involuntary muscles, stopping the heart and killing the prey. (TA)

Tree, The
This was the name used by Besaama to describe the unusual tree that served as the portal to the hidden lair of the Wyrd, on the planet Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. The Tree appeared to have been recently struck by lightning, with smoke leaking from its knotholes and a warm fire burning at its heart. A hidden switch inside one of the knotholes opened a small door, although only members of the Wyrd knew of the switch's location. It was believed that the Tree was a nexus of Dark Side energy, and could actually call out to Force-sensitive individuals and draw them to its location. (LFCW)

Treece, Hugo
A native of the planet Corellia, this Imperial Captain was placed in charge of Cloud City, following the departure of Lando Calrissian shortly after the Battle of Hoth. A naturally cunning man, Treece rose through the ranks of the Imperial Navy, and was once the commander of the Star Destroyer Punisher. On Cloud City, he instituted the virtual enslavement of the Ugnaughts, demanding that they work around the clock to cover up the fact that he was embezzling millions of credits from the Empire. The Ugnaughts rebelled against his tyrannical control of Cloud City, placing a series of twelve bombs throughout the city and threatening to blow them up. Treece ordered the evacuation of the city just before Lando returned to it, although one of the bombs did go off. Treece was injured in the explosion, and Lando was trapped with him. They agreed to work together to escape, and had to incapacitate Lobot in order to regain control of the city. Lando, however, never revealed his true identity, and Treece did not recognize him. Lobot used his network connections to disable the bombs, but Treece had no desire to allow Lando to continue to take control of the city. He pushed Lando over the edge of a city railing, but Lobot managed to rescue him. Treece, however, assumed that they were both dead. When Luke Skywalker arrived to locate Lando, Treece saw his chance to gain a promotion by capturing Skywalker. However, Treece's forces were forced to evacuate Cloud City when Luke threatened to set off the Ugnaughts' bombs. Upon returning to the Empire, Treece learned that Calrissian had altered several of his largest bank accounts on Aargau, transferring credits and information on his treachery to Darth Vader himself. Treece was later executed for his crimes. (EGC, SWDB, MC56, MC57, PH)

When the two discovered that Offworld had been sabotaging Arcona Mineral Harvest's equipment while en route to Bandomeer, they tried to tell their superiors but were thwarted by a pirate attack on the Monument. In the aftermath, Si and Obi-Wan brought out the dealings of Grelb and Jemba, and helped bring many Offworld workers over to Arcona Mineral Harvest. After landing on Bandomeer, Si Treemba and Obi-Wan discovered Xanatos' part in the sabotage of the Home Party Mine, and helped Arcona Mineral Harvest take control of Bandomeer. (RF, DR)

Treetower
This Ugnaught Jedi Master was dispatched to Yorn Skot, during the height of the Clone Wars, to break up a smuggling ring that was supplying weapons and materiel to the Separatists. Something happened during the mission, and contact with Master Treetower was lost, prompting the Grand Army of the Republic to send in the H.O.P.E. Squad to locate him. He had been knocked unconscious after reaching the planet, and had fallen from one of the gas-processing platforms. He was found hanging by his Jedi robes, and regained consciousness just as the troopers arrived. The rescue was interrupted by a squad of jump droids, and an intense battle ensued. Master Treetower was nearly killed, and only one member of H.O.P.E. Squad survived the mission. However, the mission objective was accomplished when they released dozens of Ugnaughts who had been captured, and were to be sold into slavery. (CWA6)

Trefaren
This Imperial Admiral was stationed on Corellia during the early days of Imperial occuptation there. He hired Bria Tharen as his assistant, thinking her merely a pretty woman without a rebellious bone in her body.

This man served the Empire as an officer in the military forces dispatched to Ahakista, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Captain Tregor was on duty when Captain Rasha Bex tried to shut down the energy grid that protected The Hub, and questioned her orders for being there. She claimed that she was working on new orders from Darth Vader himself, but Tregor refused to accept this story. When Bex tried to escape, Tregor smashed her head into the nearest wall, rendering her briefly unconscious. Tregor tried to strangle her, but was unprepared for the explosion that ripped through the facility. The rebel, Dunlan, had launched a missile into the generator, causing it to explode around them. Both Tregor and Bex were incinerated in the blast. (SWRAG)

Tregoth
Often referred to as the trash bat, this three-eyes reptilian flyer was found throughout the galaxy, inhabiting trash bays and garbage dumps.

Treidum, Rolf
This Imperial Navy Captain served under the command of Moff Sarne in the Kathol Outback. Sarne's orders were to delay the progress of the FarStar without destroying it, while turning the peoples of the various settlements against the New Republic. Treidum's history with Sarne began in the last years of the New Order, when both were stationed in the Deep Core. A no-nonsense officer, Treidum continued to work for Sarne after the Battle of Endor, where his only died fighting against the Alliance. Treidum captained the corvette Lialic II, which he renamed the Lance of Endor in order to raid Kathol Outback planets under the disguise of a New Republic starship. Treidum managed to convince several Outback worlds that he was, indeed, representing the New Republic, and thereby hindered the work of the FarStar. However, many planets saw through the ruse after meeting with the FarStar's captain and crew. Treidum was killed, and his ship destroyed, when he attempted to capture the FarStar at Danoor. The crew of the FarStar had enlisted the aid of Makezh, who called the Aing-Tii monks to help rid the system of the Imperials. The monk's Sanhedrim ship arrived just after Treidum launched a devastator missile at Danoor, and they rammed the Lialic II and the Imperial-class Star Destroyer that accompanied it.

This green-skinned, male Twi'lek was a Senator to the Old Republic, representing his homeworld of Ryloth during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Senator Trell was implicated in the death stick distribution scheme that was managed by Groff Haug during the years following the Battle of Naboo. When Jango Fett confronted Trell on Coruscant, he grabbed the Senator by the throat and threatened to throw him off a balcony if he didn't come clean. Fearing for his life, Trell explained that the death sticks had been acquired on Malastare from a Dug named Sebolto. Just after this confession, a Coruscant police gunship arrived at the balcony and ordered Fett to release Trell. Fett acceded to their wishes, but didn't move to return Trell to the balcony.

His parents were later killed as suspected Alliance supporters, but Vimran was deemed loyal to the Empire and allowed to remain on duty. He was not, however, allowed to return to Yutusk for their funeral, and he resented the Empire ever since. His culinary expertise impressed Moff Renquet, during the Moff's visit to the Adjudicator, and Renquet requisitioned Captain Krin and the Adjudicator to be the flagship of his sector fleet. Trell became a trusted friend and ally to Captain Krin, and he used this position to obtain information for the Alliance. He passed on the information in hopes of exacting a form of revenge against the Empire, for its lack of compassion after the deaths of his parents. (CRO)

Trellar Yagen
This was the third world in the Bovo Yagen System, a terrestrial world covered in thick jungles.

Tremaine, Rhondi
This blond-haired woman and her brother, Rolund, were among the handful of Force-sensitive beings who gathered at a strange space station that was hidden within the Maw cluster of black holes, where they chose to live out their lives while mind walking with the Force. The Tremaines had been born at the Maw Colony, at a secret military installation that had been built by Natasi Daala after the destruction of the Maw Installation. The siblings had been deemed unfit for military duty, but because of their Force sensitivity, they had been trained as intelligence agents. Like other agents, the Tremaines had been deployed in the greater galaxy when the Second Galactic Civil War broke out, and they experienced an intense desire to return to the Maw after the destruction of Centerpoint Station. Denied by Daala herself, the Tremaines made their own way back to the Maw, where they discovered Sinkhole Station. Their devotion to mind walking meant that the Tremaines gave up caring about their physical bodies, in the belief that only the Force was real, and everything else was a dream. When Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, arrived at the space station some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, while investigation the travels of Jacen Solo, the Tremaine siblings explained that the beings in the station were willing to help Luke shed his material possessions and eliminate any ties he had to his dreams. These dreams, they claimed, led him away from the only thing that was real in the galaxy, which was the Force. Rhondi later explained that Jacen Solo had traveled to the Maw to discuss the "cold thing" he had felt in the Force, since the Aing-Tii had ignored its existence.

Seek Ryontarr agreed to show Luke how the mind walking technique worked, which gave Ben time to bring the Tremaines back to the Jade Shadow and give them some nourishment to help restore their bodies. Whenever Ben turned his back on them, the Tremaines made every effort to ensure that Luke was able to fully become a Mind Walker, and they went so far as to undo any attempt by Ben to make sure his father was well-nourished. Ben eventually figured out their schemes, and locked Rolund in a sleeping cabin while holding Rhondi hostage, in order to prevent them from interfering with his father. When the physical bodies of Ryontarr and Feryl both expired, Ben decided that it was time for him to go mind walking, in an attempt to bring his father back to his body. Rhondi pleaded with him, fearing that if Ben died while mind walking, she would not be able to release Rolund from the locked cabin. However, he refused to be deterred, and Rhondi agreed to help him with the mind walking technique.Rhondi took Ben beyond the shadows where he was able to locate his father and bring him back to the physical world. Upon returning to Sinkhole Station, Luke and Ben both questioned Rhondi about what they had seen within the Force. They both realized that the dark presence they had encountered was calling out to other Force-sensitives through the Force, prompting Rhondi to explain that the Jedi Knights who were experiencing trouble were not actually sick, but were being called home. With his father safe, Ben agreed to free Rolund from the cabin, but before he could do so, an explosion rocked the station. Before they could reach the cabin, Rhondi was stabbed through the chest with a red lightsaber, killing her instantly and forcing the Skywalkers to confront the Sith who had boarded the station. (FJ3)

Tremaine, Rolund
This blond-haired man and his sister, Rhondi, were among the handful of Force-sensitive beings who gathered at a strange space station that was hidden within the Maw cluster of black holes, where they chose to live out their lives while mind walking with the Force. The Tremaines had been born at the Maw Colony, at a secret military installation that had been built by Natasi Daala after the destruction of the Maw Installation.

These dreams, they claimed, led him away from the only thing that was real in the galaxy, which was the Force. Rolund went on to explain that Jacen Solo had also been led astray by his dreams, although he was quick to point out that Jacen would never have truly fallen to the Dark Side of the Force because his motives were too pure.

Seek Ryontarr agreed to show Luke how the mind walking technique worked, which gave Ben time to bring the Tremaines back to the Jade Shadow and give them some nourishment to help restore their bodies. Whenever Ben turned his back on them, the Tremaines made every effort to ensure that Luke was able to fully become a Mind Walker, and they went so far as to undo any attempt by Ben to make sure his father was well-nourished.

Tremayne, Antinnis
This man served as a High Inquisitor of the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. Taken into the Jedi Temple at nineteen months of age, Tremayne was trained as a Jedi Knight by Master Dav Kylanu before being seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. His fall began after Master Kylanu died during the Clone Wars, and Tremayne himself was captured an interrogated by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He was believed to have been lost until he suddenly reappeared some six months before the end of the Clone Wars, carrying the title of Inquisitor. He was led down the dark path by none other than Emperor Palpatine, and it was rumored that Tremayne was one of the Emperor's Hands. In this position, Tremayne was among the many individuals who were chosen by the Emperor to hunt down renegade Jedi in the wake of the so-called Jedi Rebellion. When Palpatine was satisfied with the destruction of the Jedi Order, Tremayne continued to search for three young Padawans: Drake Lo'gaan, Zonder, and Ekria. They eluded him several times before Prince Xizor brought word of their existence to Tremayne's attention. In return, Xizor demanded information on Darth Vader and promised to keep word of Tremayne's mission a secret. Tremayne was eventually promoted to the position of High Inquisitor, and had an illustrious career serving Palpatine. In this position, Tremayne was answerable only to Darth Vader and the upper eschelons of Palpatine's advisors. Tremayne had been able to break every captive brought to him until he encountered Corwin Shelvay. After he defeated Darrin Arkanian, Tremayne was disfigured in battle during Shelvay's escape, losing an eye as well as his right arm. Both were replaced with cybernetic prostheses. Afterward, Tremayne scoured the galaxy, looking for Shelvay to exact revenge. Tremayne was given command of the Star Destroyer Interrogator. (GAL8, GG9, EAP)

Tremayne, Matta
This woman, a native of the planet Corroth, was a Jedi Master at the time when Freedon Nadd first started training as a Jedi Knight, some 4,400 years before the Battle of Yavin. Shortly after Nadd was denied promotion to the level of full Jedi Knight, he encountered Tremayne on the planet Ossus. She was a skilled warrior with a lightsaber, and demanded to know why Nadd thought he should have been elevated to a Jedi Knight. She nearly killed Nadd several times because of his lack of training, but let him continue, recognizing that the young man was quickly realizing his mistakes. However, Nadd recognized his deficiencies too late, and cut down Tremayne with a broad sweep of his lightsaber. Matta immediately disappeared, becoming one with the Force. (TOJC)

Tremmin
A jungle plant native to Ithor. (COJ)

Tremor Sensor
This cybernetic device was sometimes implanted into prosthetic feet, and allowed the user to sensor vibrations in the ground or low-level atmosphere. This gave the user a sort of early-warning system, since the vibrations could be screened to detect approaching objects. (HG)

Tremor Sword
The origins of the bladed weapon could be traced back to the members of the Bladeborn, those Sith who devoted themselves to the mastery of swordfighting with steel weapons instead of lightsabers. The blade of a tremor sword was laced with cortosis ore for added strength against lightsabers. Only those Bladeborn who survived ten duels with a lightsaber-wielding opponent - known as masterblades - were awarded a tremor sword, as a sign of honor and recognition. (KOTOR)

Tremorra
This was a common name among the Dressellian people. (UANT)

Trenal
This gas giant was the third and outermost planet in the Tasar System. It was orbited by fourteen moons. (SWJ15)

Trench
This unusual, insectile being served the Separatist military forces as an Admiral, and was placed in command of the planet Christophsis, during the height of the Clone Wars. Although largely arachnoid in shape, Trench walked upright on two legs like most humanoid races. He then used his six arms for a variety of tasks. Like most arachnoids, Trench's mouth was formed by four sharp fangs, and was protected by two heavy mandibles. Four small eyes crowed his forehead, sitting above two largers eyes. Trench managed the planetary blockade that protected Christophsis from his flagship, the Invincible. For many years, it was believed that Admiral Trench had perished during the Battle of Malastare Narrows, when he was serving as the commander of a corporate fleet that tried to blockade the planet Malastare. A Galactic Republic task force was sent to Malastare to displace the blockade, and among the Republic's officers was Wullf Yularen. His experiences with Trench at Malastare gave him a warning that the Separatist fleet over Christophsis might be under the command of Admiral Trench, especially when the flagship Invincible exhibited many of the same operational characteristics of the ships at Malastare. Among Trench's many battles, he was known to have encountered and overcome starships that used cloaking technology, which proved valuable when Yularen and his Jedi Generals, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, attempted to use a prototype stealth ship to slip past the blockade of Christophsis. Admiral Trench was able to identify the stealth ship using sensors that detected magnetic singatures and fire on it, and he also correctly recognized that it was being flown by a Jedi. Unfortunately, that Jedi was Anakin Skywalker, who had a few tricks of his own to employ. Anakin dropped the cloaking device on the stealth ship long enough for Trench's gunners to get a lock on it, and Trench ordered the gunners to dropd the dreadnaught's shelds and fire their torpedoes. Skywalker allowed the incoming torpedoes to lock onto the stealth ship, then plowed toward the Invincible at top speed, dragging the torpedoes behind him. Before the Invincible's shields could be brought back online, the torpedoes that were chasing the stealth ship plowed into the Invincible's bridge, setting off a series of explosions that tore the ship apart and killed all organic beings onboard, including Admiral Trench. (SWI116, CWTV38)

Trench Run Defense
This New Republic starfighter tactic was modeled after tactics developed at the Battle of Yavin. If a group of pilots was attacked near a natrual trench or valley, in a deep cityscape like Coruscant, or any other broken surface, the pilots would dive for the surface and weave their wave around and through the various obstacles. This would help throw off pursuit, allowing the pilots to escape. The attackers could either follow them, and be forced to match the pilot's maneuvers, or try to follow them from above, often losing sight of the pilot for extended periods. (WS)

Trench Warfare
This was the fast-moving, hard-edged title song from the album Trench Warfare, released by Hyperspaze and the Jump Lanes during the height of the New Order. (HR)

Trench Warfare
This album, released by Hyperspaze and the Jump Lanes, was banned by the Empire immediately upon its release. This didn't stop it from selling out each illicit release. (HR)

Trench, The
This section of the Hawk-bats' base on asteroid A3 was named because it was formed from a long, square mining shaft. The shaft itself was featureless, with a few doors off the corridor leading to storage rooms and personal quarters. However, various crates and modules often were stored here for later delivery, and Garik "Face" Loran noted that it probably resembled the equatorial trench on the first Death Star. He proved it by taking a model of an X-Wing and moving down the corridor. Shortly afterward, a member of Wraith Squadron painted the ceiling of the corridor black, and added white dots for stars, in order to complete the image of the trench. (IF)

Trenchant
This Sacheen-class light escort ship was part of the New Republic's Fifth Battle Group. Commanded by Captain Llotta, it was destroyed during the unsuccessful blockade of Doornik-319. (SOL, TT)

Trenchant Space Station
This hidden space station served as a training base for Count Dooku and his immediate underlings - including Asajj Ventress, Durge, and General Grievous - during the height of the Clone Wars. It was at Trenchant that Dooku ultimately chose Grievous to lead the droid armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. (SWDB)

Trenchant-class Cruiser
This starship design was produced by Merkuni Drives during the last years of the Old Republic, and its use continued well into the era of the New Order.

Skywalker confronted the Dark Jedi, and a lengthy lightsaber ensued. Ultimately, Trenox was killed by Skywalker in the battle. (NDA)

Trenrel
This man was part of a small scientific expedition that was lost on the planet Talus, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Trenrel and the rest of his party were killed when they stumbled into a cave that was inhabited by a swarm of fynocks. The only evidence of their existence was a datapad that was later recovered from the cave. The recordings on the datapad revealed that it had been Trenrel who first suggested that the group set up camp inside the cave, after they were caught outdoors in a driving rainstorm. (SWGAL)

Trent

Trent
This man served as a Captain in the New Republic naval forces, during the months that followed the Battle of Endor. Captain Trent was in command of the Regulator during the time leading up to the Battle of Mindor. It was Captain Trent who openly questioned Commander Thavish and his battle plan, since Thavish had failed to take into account the possibility that Lord Shadowspawn's forces included capital ships. (LSSM)

Trentacal, Greezim
This large human male was one of the leaders of the Karazak Slavers Guild, and was in command of the transfer center on Gabredor III. He grew to power over a period of time, starting with many unsuccessful ventures on the criminal world of Boztrok. Eventually, he met up with the Karazak Slavers and found his niche: the buying and selling of sentient beings. He relished any assignment the Guild gave him, and flourished after the Battle of Endor and the subsequent expansion under the Pentastar Alignment. Trentacal had been assigned to with kidnap and hold the children of the Cantras Gola ambassador by the Pentastar Alignment, and he held them on Gabredor III until they were rescued by Sully Tigereye and his Red Moons assault team. In the battle, Trentacal holed up inside his personal slaving ship and command center, the Atron's Mistress, until the ship was taken by the Red Moons. In the confusion of the battle, Trentacal was killed by one of his personal slave girls before his bodyguard, a Defel named Vex, could help him. (SWJ8, TFE)

This man was one of the wealthiest beings who lived in the settlement of Bestine, on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He maintained a small university on the planet, as well as a market and several tracts of land. (SWG2P)

Trenwyth
This planet, the primary world in the Trenwyth System, was destroyed by the Nagai during their rampage through the galaxy. Leia Organa fought her way through this star system, in an effort to return four Zeltrons to their homeworld. Her assistance led Leia and the Hiromi to discover information about the threat posed by the Nagai. (LTA6, MC103)

Treon, Gabriel
This man documented the history of the Praji family in a report entitled Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Praji: A Cartel of Genes, which was published in the Byblos Journal of Historical Science. (OWS)

Trep
This was a common, though archaic, name given to Zabrak males. Its original meaning was lost over time. (GCG)

Trepennit
A creature with a beautiful, black-on-black mottled hide. (COJ)

Treppok
This species of spectacular, red-scaled fish was native to the oceans of Baralou. Measuring thirty meters in length, they were easily distinguished by their six tail fins, along with six more fins which extended from their midsection. Their skeletons were extremely strong, with an interlocking bone structure. The Krikthasi used the skeletons of dead treppok to build their homes. Treppok were peaceful creatures, attacking only when frightened or cornered. (PG1)

Treppok Call
This was the unusual call used by the Krikthasi to scare away treppok. Most often, the Krikthasi use this call to herd treppok into a position where they can kill it, using the huge fish for food and shelter. (PG1)

Treppus-2
This was the designation of the standard vibroblade produced by Merr-Sonn during the height of the New Order. It had an adjustable sheath that could be extended to cover the blade when not in use, keeping the blade from being knicked or dulled. (EGW, NEGW, RF3)

Treptel
This was one of the larger cities found on the planet Brosi. It was located at the base of the Taznel Mountains, and was also the site of one of Brosi's two major starports. (AIR)

Tresario, Rovan
A retired Imperial Navy officer, Rovan Tresario was the third son of a miserly baron. Rovan himself loved money, and was constantly at odds with his father. Rovan was forced to make his own way in life, and found a new family in the Imperial Navy. He had a knack for inspiring loyalty and desire in his peers and subordinates, and quickly became a respected military leader. However, for all his personal skills, Tresario was continually frustrated by the Empire's inability to crack down on piracy. Upon his retirement, Rovan used his own personal wealth and charisma to for the Tresario Bounty Hunters Guild, and financed the establishment of House Tresario, in an effort to bring down piracty in the galaxy. (GG10)

Tresario Bounty Hunters Guild
This guild, which was ostensibly part of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, was established during the height of the New Order by Rovan Tresario. Tresario himself was frustrated at the way pirates moved throughout the galaxy, and recruited former Imperial military personnel to begin hunting the pirates down and eliminating them. (GG10, HG)

Tresidiss
This world was privately owned and managed by a collection of Herglic criminals that used the planet as a huge gambling hall. Rather than hide casinos and other gambling houses from the law, the Herglics on Tresidiss make light of them. Over 4,000 separately-managed gambling establishments were in operation during the early years of the New Republic, and they were funded by banks which were essentially legalized loan-sharking organizations. Tresidiss remained a viable world through close ties to the Empire, even after the Battle of Endor, and it was suspected that many Moffs and planetary governors were silent partners in the operation of the world. The day on Tresidiss lasted 23 standard hours, and its year took up 315 local days. (GG11)

Tresk
This Bothan name was given to newborn males. Translated into Basic, it meant "cold as the winter." (GCG, WOTC)

Treskov-115W
This ancient, main-sequence star was located in the galaxy's Deep Core. What made Treskov-115W special was that it was a dead-end along a number of hyperspace travel routes, due to its position in the heart of the galaxy. (DW)

Treson Cluster
Named for its inventor, a Treson cluster was a method of storing small electronic components. (ISB)

Tressle
This was a generic term used to describe any form of artwork that was created from one or more distinct pieces. Often, the artistry in the connections between parts of the tressle were considered as valuable as the pieces themselves. (OF)

Trest Casino
This Cloud City casino was one of the highest-class establishments on the outpost, and boasted some of the most advanced gaming automata available during the New Order. It was in this casino that Lando Calrissian beat Dominic Raynor in a high-stakes sabacc match. In the end, Raynor lost everything to Calrissian, including the title of Baron-Administrator of Cloud City. (GG2, EGD, NECH)

Trest Jester
This was a specially-designed sabacc card that was developed by the management of the Trest Casino, on Bespin's Cloud City, as part of a promotional effort during the height of the New Order. If any sabacc player found the Trest Jester in their hand, they could redeem the card for 5,000 credits. Several forgeries were discovered in the course of the promotion, until the real Trest Jester was finally found. (GORW)

Treston Lines, Limited
This major cargo transport company was based on Bespin's Cloud City. The leaders of Treston were given positions within the city's Exex during their tenure. (GG2)

Tresycht
This Saurton nation owned the land surrounding the Thergum Pits, which they sold to the Messert Mines Corporation. The Tresycht and the Yiszte nations had been at war with each other for years, so Messert augmented the Tresycht forces and subjugated the Yiszte inorder to avoid conflict over the rights to the mines. With Messert behind them, the Tresycht eventually took control of all nations on the planet, under the rulership of High Priest Gellack. (PG1)

Tret, Darvis
This Imperial Lieutenant performed the initial surveys of the Elrood Sector, shortly before the Empire took control of the Sector. He was promoted for his efforts, after Derilyn was subjugated and the Sector was secured. (PG3)

Treta
This was once of the many names given to Duros females. Among the Duros, it usually meant "hostess", although its original meaning was closer to "female servant bearing food". (GCG)

Tretlin
This being was a noted criminal on the planet Vodran, during the early years of the New Republic. (GUN)

Treton
This vicious beast was native to the planet Aesolian. (JQ3)

Trevael
One of the Spice Lords of Sevarcos, Lady Trevael ruled the planet's Northern Frontier at the height of the New Order. (SWJ2)

Trevagg, Feltipern
This Gotal worked in a number of positions over the course of his lifetime, including bounty hunter, Imperial bodyguard, and ship's security officer. During the months prior to the Battle of Yavin, Trevagg was working for the City Prefect of the port of Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, as a tax collector. In this position, Feltipern had developed many of the taxes charged to native and transients, including a water tax and a port passage tax, which brought in a steady stream of revenue. The port passage tax also proved to be his downfall, as the collection of this tax brought him in contact with the H'nemthean female M'iiyoum Onith, who lost her seat on the passenger liner Tellivar Lady because she couldn't pay it.

Feltipern began lusting after her, unaware that she had fallen in love with him. It was during this time that Luke Skywalker accompanied Ben Kenobi to Mos Eisley to book passage to Alderaan, after learning that R2-D2 and C-3PO carried the plans to the first Death Star. Trevagg had discerned Kenobi's presence in Mos Eisley by detecting the Force with his head cones, and sought to sell the information of his location to the Empire.

While trying to bed M'iiyoum, Trevagg failed to recognize that she was a H'nemthean, and that the females of her species gutted their mates with her knife-like tongue. Feltipern was found dead in the Mos Eisley Inn, the morning after the Millennium Falcon blasted out of the spaceport. No being was ever implicated in his brutal death, and Onith was seen on Tatooine again. (TME, NEGA)

Trevalis
This one of the many small mining settlements established on the planet Kallistas. For all intents and purposes, Trevalis was the planetary capital, given that Imperial Prefect Rinn had his base of operations in the city. (GG10)

Trevee
This large transport ship, owned and operated by the two men known only as Tall and Short, was used to ferry refugees who were fleeing from the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Tall and Short had gone into the business of moving refugees, charging large sums of credits to get people off a backwater world and transport them to a more affluent planet. They then claimed to have problems with their ship, or claimed to be avoiding a Yuuzhan Vong patrol, and dropped the refugees off on a planet that the Yuuzhan Vong were targetting. Tall and Short would then return, charging the refugees again for transport to another destination. (JE)

Trevella
This was a form of soft, thick cloth that was used to create various pieces of clothing on the planet Naboo. Trevella cloth resembled velvet, but was much more durable. (CVD)

Trevi City
This giant commercial city was found on the planet Trevi IV. Founded by the Truishii settlers who found Trevi IV, the city had a bazaar-like atmosphere filled with sentients from any number of worlds. It's streets were filled with booths and shops, and bright lights keep the city alive at night. (SWJ9)

Trevi IV
This planet, the fourth world in the Trevi System, was discovered by Truishii settlers who were forced to land there following a hyperdrive accident. Trevi IV was covered with barren plains broken by deserts, although the Truishii found a large body of water near which to settle. The planet's location, in the Quess Sector near the Outer Rim Territories, placed it near a number of hyperspace routes, and the planet's economy grew quickly. The Truishii Trade Guild monitored most of the business, although there were some disreputable operations to be found there. The average day on Trevi IV lasted 28 standard hours, and the year encompasses 389 local days. (SWJ9)

Trevol, Roor

Trexor, Lexia
This was a noted Besalisk individual, prominent in the history of the planet Ojom. (UANT)

Trey, Eban
This Rodian served as the Master of Ceremonies at the grand opening of The Aerie casino and facilities on Naboo, about a year after the Battle of Yavin. (ROD)

Trey'dra, Savielk
This Bothan was the leader of the Bothan Council, and the de facto ruler of the Bothan people, at the height of the New Order. Savielk owned a rare copy of The Way by Golm Fervse'dra, and modeled his life and his philosophies after the ancient Bothan Way. (SPG)

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

Trey'lis, Hosk
This male Bothan was one of the many Jedi Knights who defended the galaxy some 130 years after the Battle of Yavin. In order to evade the pursuit of the Sith who served Darth Krayt, Hosk traveled to Lok, where he enlisted the help of the staff at Brogar's cantina in finding an escape route. His escape plans were cut short when Cade Skywalker and his gang arrived at the cantina to take control of Naxy Screeger. Hosk panicked and tried to flee, but was stunned into submission by Deliah Blue and Jariah Syn.

When he was questioned by the bounty hunters later, Hosk revealed that he had lost his lightsaber while escaping an explosion, and begged for mercy. He was unaware of Cade's true heritage, and believed that his harsh treatment was little more than a bounty hunter's gruff demeanor. This opinion changed when the bounty hunters arrived on Socorro to deliver Hosk and Screeger to Rav. In an attempt to escape, Hosk struggled briefly with Cade, who felt the stirrings of the Force in the young man's emotions.

Nevertheless, Hosk was unable to get free, and was eventually turned over to Darth Maladi. The female Sith Lord tortured and interrogated Hosk, who resisted her ministrations for many days before finally breaking. He then revealed Skywalker's identity, giving the Sith a lead on his whereabouts. Hosk was then forced to administer to the health of Darth Krayt himself, but was unable to discover a cure for the steady deterioration of the Sith Lord's health. Relegated to the dungeons of the Sith Temple on Coruscant, Trey'lis was surprised when Cade Skywalker arrived to rescue him. He was not surprised to find that there was still a great deal of anger in Cade's feelings, especially when the younger man angrily told him to shut up and be quiet during their escape.

Their exchange of words nearly overshadowed the arrival of Darth Talon, who used the Force to render Treylis unconscious before confronting Cade. Both were captured by the Sith, and Trey'lis was viciously tortured by Darth Maladi, in an effort to force him to admit what he knew about Skywalker. Trey'lis continued to defy the Sith, right up to the time when he was brought before Darth Krayt. Darth Krayt then ordered Cade to kill Trey'lis in order to prove his dedication to becoming a Sith, or confront him in battle. Trey'lis demanded that Cade not kill Krayt over him, since that would surely lead to the Dark Side of the Force. He then told Cade that he would die eventually, but that he had forgiven him for turning him over to the Sith. When Cade refused to kill Trey'lis, and Trey'lis then explained that he had forgiven Darth Krayt for what he had done to the galaxy, Darth Krayt drew his own weapon and killed Hosk Trey'lis.

Both Cade and Darth Krayt were surprised to see Trey'lis' body simply disappear into the Force, but it was Cade who benefitted from his death. In the moments that followed, Cade's father, Kol Skywalker, bridged the gap between life and death and called to his son to achieve his true destiny. (SWLB, SWLT, SWLC)

Treylon II
This planet was the homeworld of Tour Aryon. (GG7)

TRHA-300
Developed by Leisure Mechanicals, this control device was designed to ensure that tranthebar mountain rippers which were raced for sport did not break free and attack anything that moved. Individual riders were required to take intense physical and mental examinations prior to being fitted with the TRHA-300, in order to assess whether they were capable of handling the stresses of racing. (GFT)

Tria Blue
This was the name of Guther Bartyn's GBX-005 personal yacht. It was named for one of his best-known ancestors, Tria Bartyn, and was lovingly maintained and upgraded. The Tria Blue could attain a top speed of 400 kilometers per hour over the water, and was armed with a pair of dual turbolaser cannons and a pair of proton hydrotorpedo launchers. The ship's superstructure was beefed up based on Guther's plans, in order to withstand an attack from one of Lamaredd's immense ocean predators. In order to ensure his survival in case of an attack, Guther decided not to trust the eight lifepods that came with the GBX-005. Instead, he adapted the hull of the Tria Blue to accept a BBK escape sub, which could be detached from the bow and operated independently. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, a group of Menahuun spies managed to enter the Tria Blue, despite the formidable guards positioned around the ship by Bartyn. They were apprehended by several freelancers who were working for Mix Liddell, but not until the Menahuun ahd sabotaged the ship and placed explosives throughout the engine compartment. In a tremendous blast, the Tria Blue was destroyed by the Menahuun explosives. (GMR7)

Triad
The governing council of three members - one human, one Drall, and one Selonian - that rules on Sacorria. They were responsible for making the various policy decisions of the planet. They used to be the Diktat's mouthpiece on the plantet, but since the Empire fell, they have become more autonomous. The Selonians who lived on Sacorria were members of a Den which was ousted from Selonia for disputing a valid settlement and turning their own against the Den. Their Den name had been banned from the Selonian language. It was later revealed that the Triad was responsible for the various revolts that occurred in the Corellian System, having funded them in order to take the attention away from their brainchild, the Starbuster Plot. (AC, SC)

Triad of Sacorria

Triad Sea
This was the largest body of water located on the planet Kathol, and was fed by three oceans. (E)

Triad, The
This group of three rocky outcroppings was located just outside the Karoom waterfront, in the city of Nime on the planet Roon. (GORW)

Triad, The
This was the ancient government that ruled the planet Kaikielius, during the two centuries prior to the formation of the Galactic Republic. The Triad was formed from the leaders of the three most powerful families, House Praji, House, Juoni, and House Vahalii. Other families held minor control over certain lands, although many of these lesser families were absorbed into one of the Triad families for protection and stability. After Sapius Praji signed the Galactic Constitution and brought Kaikielius into the Republic, The Triad remained a powerful force in the new government. (OWS)

Triage
This was the name given to the branch of the Alliance Intelligence organization that was charged with screening incoming data and forward on anything that was deemed important. In this way, pertinent information could be acted upon quickly, while more obscure or ineffectual data was pushed to the side. (RASB)

Triage Code
This was the medical assessment code developed by the Grand Army of the Republic during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The sevencodes were used to quickly identify the needs of clone troopers and other military personnel who were injured in battle, thereby allowed medical droids and Rimsoo personnel to treat patients with maximum efficiency. In the triage areas of military medical facilities, incoming patients were given a triage code that was designated by a small button that was placed on their bodies, which glowed with the code they were assigned. This allowed medical personnel to quickly move through a triage area and attend to the wounded in the necessary order. It also helped ensure the most efficient use of medical supplies and medicines. The triage codes were denoted as one through six, and the letter Xesh (X). Assigning triage codes was a difficult task, and one that was often left to droids, as each code took into account the extent of a patient's injuries and their ability to survive treatment. A triage code of one indicated those individuals who needed treatment immediately and were most likely to survive, with the larger numbers indicating a lesser degree of urgency. A triage code of six meant that an individual was among the "walking wounded," thos whose wounds could be treated after all other patients were treated. A triage code of Xesh meant that the patient was "too badly injured; not expected to survive despite intervention," meaing that no resources were to be spent on trying to save them. Many Jedi Knights and some younger medical officers wondered at the use of the scale, since it seemed incongruous at times. A soldier with a simple cut could be assigned a triage code of one, if the wound was to a major artery that could bleed out if not treated immediately, since the treatment for such an injury was usually a simple suture. Conversely, a soldier who had lost a leg in an explosion might be assigned a triage code of five, since their injuries would require extensive surgery that would not bring guaranteed results. (MBS, RCTZ)

Triakk
This was the ancient Sullustan god of chaos. (SWJ10)

Trial-born
This was the term used to describe those members of Chiss society who were taken into the military, but retained the opportunity to return to their families at the same time. It was common practice for any military personnel to cease all family ties when they were accepted into either the Chiss Defense Fleet or the Chiss Expansionary Fleet. It was also common for military personnel to give up their positions when they retired from active duty and returned to society. Those individuals who were named as Trial-born by their families could retain the privileges of both family and military, tying the individual permanently to the family. (OF)

Trials of Knighthood

Trian
This planet, which was the homeworld of the Trianii race, was located in a sector that bordered on the Corporate Sector. The Corporate Sector Authority later decided to annex the planet, and revoked its charter without any discussion. The Trianii opposed it, but were quieted by the Corporate Sector Authority's less-than-admirable tactics. After the Battle of Endor, however, the Trianii were able to retake their homeworld and drive the CSA out of their systems. (HSE, CSA, WOTC)

Trianii
This was the native language of the Trianii people, a combination of purrs, growls, and rolling vocalizations. The written version used characters to represent syllable sounds. (WOTC, UANT)

Trianii
This feline race, which was native to the planet Trian, evolved from a species of predatory felines. They were humanoid in stature, with prehensile tails and sleek fur. Female Trianii were generally stronger and faster than the males, and the Trianii were ruled by the tribunal of females known as the yu'nar. Trianii culture was strongly based on the family, and their primary religions all stressed the need for families. For many generations, the Trianii existed in relative isolation. When the Corporate Sector Authority decided to annex the planet Trian, during the early years of the New Order, the Trianii refused to allow this to happen. Many of them resisted, but the planet was eventually annexed by force. Some Trianii continued to speak out against the Authority, and were captured and held at Stars' End. After the Battle of Endor, the Trianii were able to drive out the CSA and reclaim their systems. Curious by nature, the Trianii were known to be excellent scouts and explorers. The most agile and cunning Trianii often become Rangers, an elite group of warriors made up of both males and females of the race. The females of the Trianii race were exceptional dancers, and their ritualistic performances were nothing short of high artistry and acts of devotion to their race and their art. (HSE, WOTC)

Trianii Rangers
This was an elite army of Trianii that served as a highly-skilled legion of law enforcement officials, protecting the planet Trian and its colony worlds. They were excellent marksmen, and moved with incredible stealth. (HSE)

tri-arc CD-3.2
This was the designation of one of Longe Voltrans' hyperdrive systems. This model was used on many Corellian Engineering Corporation ships during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was classified as a Class 2 hyperdrive. (X1, NEGV, CCS)

TriAstra Belter
This huge, outdated starship was equipped with G47 tractor beam generators, and was used to move asteroids out of their current position for mining or for safety. They were manufactured by the Uquine Ship Yards. (GG2)

Triathoggoth Syndicate
This criminal organization was controlled by Jorkatt the Render, and was based in Celanon City. (POC)

Tribal Relief Fund
Established by Aquato Boliscon, this legitimate charity provided food, shelter, and medical care to the various nomadic tribes of the planet Socorro. (BSS)

TribBot
This series of mimic droids, produced by RetSpan Audionics, mimicked the vocal output of a singer. This allowed the TribBot to reproduce sound slugs of popular artists, without the owner having to actually purchase the "official" slug. This was considered piracy by many artists and music producers, who responded by employed automata that blocked the recording of their music. Many times, this was a forceful prohibition, using specially-camouflaged combat droids. (HNN5)

Tribe of Issori
This was the Issori form of representation in the government of the planet Issor. It was the equal of the Tribe of Odenji. (SWJ13)

Tribe of Odenji
This was the Odenji form of representation in the government of the planet Issor. It was the equal of the Tribe of Issori. (SWJ13)

Tribe, The
This was the collective name used the Sith Lords who lived on the planet Kesh to describe their community. The Tribe was isolated because of the planet's location and the fact that the only starship the Tribe's ancestors had was destroyed when it crash-landed on the planet some 5,000 years before the Second Galactic Civil War. The human members of the Tribe refused to intermingle with the native Keshiri, although special members of the Keshiri race were allowed join the Tribe at an annual ritual known as Presentation. The Sith evolved for some 200 generations, and individual clans and families continued to trace their ancestry back to the original crash survivors. However, several years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, the people of the Tribe were surprised and dismayed to learn that the Sith were no longer a strong and powerful force in the galaxy. The sudden appearance of the meditation sphere known as Ship gave them knowledge of the greater galaxy, and forced them to realize that the people of the Tribe might be the only surviving members of their kind. Grand Lord Darish Vol demanded that Ship teach them about the Sith and about the rest of the galaxy, and the Tribe began preparing for the day when they would be ready to leave Kesh. Over a period of more than two years, the Tribe created weapons and trained their bodies for combat, with Sith teaching them what it could. A single attack on a vessel proved successful for the Sith, and gave them the determination and ability to capture several more vessels. Any technology that could be scavenged from the ships that were captured was used to secretly repair the Omen, in the hope of resurrecting the ship to serve as the flagship of the Tribe's fleet. The Tribe was able to quickly capture several more starships in rapid succession, because most starship crews were unprepared for raiders who wielded the Dark Side of the Force, and the Tribe was soon in possession of a fleet of twelve ships. The Omen was eventually made spaceworthy, and the Tribe was able to launch more and more attacks on positions farther away from Kesh. (FJI, FJ2)

Tribold, Castrella
This woman was Shelby Tribold's wife. (HR)

Tribold, Shelby
This man was a veteran of the Imperial 865th Regiment, and was rescued by Elbren BaChorin when the rest of the squadron ran for their lives while under attack. (HR)

Tribubble Bongo
This was the standard configuration of Gungan submarines, with a pair of cargo bubbles and a cockpit bubble. There were civilian and military versions, each of which required a pilot to operate, and could accommodate two passengers. (E1A9, CCS)

Tribunal, The
This was the inner circle of leadership for the Society of the Black Bha'lir. All members of the Society vote to choose the Tribunal's members, and all three members of the Tribunal were elected for life. (BSS)

Tribune
This was the title given to the individual members of the Imperial Ruling Council. (XWMR)

Tribune-class Shuttle
Developed by Sienar Fleet Systems, the Tribune-class shuttle measured 18.5 meters in length. It required a crew of three to operate, and could carry up to fourteen passengers and 30 metric tons of cargo. These ships were one of the few Sienar designs built primarily for civilian use, and it was unarmed. (GSE)

Tri'byia
This Bothan served as the Field Controller, as part of the guard and support team monitoring the Drev'starn shield generator, during the time surrounding the Caamas Incident. It was Tri'byia who allowed Drend Navett and Klif into the power generator, ostensibly to combat an infestation of metalmites. The metalmites, however, had been planted in the generator by Klif and Navett, to allow them access to the generator station. (VOF)

Tri-Cannon
This was Incom Industries' triple starship blaster cannon, built from the designs of the Subpro Tri-Cannon. (SWG2P)

Tri-cannon
This was a mid-level, starship blaster weapon that was produced by Subpro, during the early years of the New Order. The design was later reproduced by Incom Industries. (SWG2P)

Tri-carbon
This was a dense, molecularly formed variation of standard carbon that was stronger than carbon fiber. It was used to form the directional and steering vanes on racing vehicles like podracers. (CCS)

Trichinitis
An easily treated disease. (HT)

Trichobezoar
This parasite was native to the planet Toydaria, where it often found its way into the gizzards of the Toydarian race. As a reaction, Toydarians experienced severe vomiting until the parasite was expelled. (MBS)

Trickster
This was one of the nicknames of the Yuuzhan Vong goddess Yun-Harla. (VP)

Trickster
This was the name used by Jaina Solo to describe the Ksstarr, after the Jedi team to Myrkr stole the frigate to escape. She chose the name after conversing with the Yuuzhan Vong priest Harrar, whose patron deity was Yun-Harla, the Trickster. Harrar and Khalee Lah tried to track the ship using the normal procedure of monitoring its gravitic signature, but Lowbacca had managed to alter the Trickster's communication system in such a way as to receive signals from the Yuuzhan Vong but not transmit sensor data back to a yammosk. This allowed Jaina and the Jedi to move about in the Trickster without being tracked a yamoosk or by dovin basal mines. Upon arriving at Hapes, Tenel Ka had planned to go ahead in an escape pod and arrange for the arrival of the Jedi. Her pod was captured by the renegade pirate ship Starspritee, which was eventually captured by the Trickster. The Yuuzhan Vong boarding system involved melting a hole in the Starsprite with an organic acid, leaving the two ships bonded together. The conjoined ships were then escorted to Hapes by Jagged Fel and Shawnkyr Nuruodo. The Trickster spent the trip trying to heal itself, a compromise made for not jettisoning the Starsprite completely. The Trickster literally panicked upon reaching Hapes, and the Jedi had to separate the ships or lose them both. The ship nearly died in the subsequent starfight around Hapes, in which the Hapan Navy and Jaina's squadron defeated the Yuuzhan Vong. (DJ, DW)

Trickster
This was the brand name of Corellian Engineering's starship decoy system. An addition to a ship's countermeasures system, these small decoys could be deployed during flight. They sent out electromagnetic and holographic signals that duplicated those of the parent ship. The Trickster decoys required Imperial certification for operation during the New Order. (GG6)

Trickster Jammer
This was the nickname given to the New Republic's repulsor-based gravitic countermeasures, used to disrupt the communications of a Yuuzhan Vong yammosk. These devices were developed using intelligence gathered by Jaina Solo and Danni Quee, and allowed the New Republic's naval forces to equalize the odds during battle. They were named for the Yuuzhan Vong goddess Yun-Harla, who was known as the Trickster, and whose guise was adopted by Jaina Solo in an attempt to goad the Yuuzhan Vong into rash actions. (DW)

Triclops
The true son of Emperor Palpatine, Triclops was a three-eyed mutant whose third eye was located on the backside of his head. He had white, unruly hair, and his temples were scarred from years of forced shock treatments. Triclops' third eye was believed to emit an hypnotic pulse. The Empire considered him insane, and believed him to be a threat to the Empire and the galaxy, if he were ever to become Emperor himself. Thus, Palpatine banished him to the spice mines of Kessel, where Trioculus cruelly abused him while plotting to take Triclops' place as Palpatine's son.

Triclops developed a pattern of evil dreams at some point, and some of his dreams dealt with the development of new superweapons. After choosing Trioculus as serve as the false son of the Emperor, the Empire kept Triclops alive in a hidden asylum on the planet Duro, working to reprogram his mind as well as to steal the information from his dreams. The Empire routinely denied the existence of a son of Palpatine, until Trioculus claimed he was the Emperor's son and assumed rulership of the Empire.

He had always despised the Empire, and his hatred of it helped him resist the reprogramming he received on Duro. In case he ever escaped, the Imperials implanted a special device in one of his molars. It was attached to his brain, and could send signals to any nearby probe droids, detailing the fantastic creations of his dreams. (LCJ, MMY, PDS)

Trico
An edible, fungus-like algae native to the moon Yavin 8. The Melodies have many uses for trico, the primary of which was food. Young Melodies who cannot consume the silver-backed fish that populate the moon's streams must subsist on trico until their digestive systems mature. Older Melodies who have not yet had their changing ceremony also use the trico in a mesh-like mask which provides them oxygen when they dive below the surface of the water their elders inhabit. (LW)

Tricopper
This valuable, metallic ore was mined on the planet Ord Cestus. It was noted for its intense, reddish-gold color. (TCD, DBPD)

Tricorrinium Hexifluorine
This was a hazardous by-product of the environmental systems used to maintain the ecosystem of the planet Coruscant. (HNN5)

Trid
This city was the site the primary spaceport found on the planet Danuta, and served as the nimonal planetary capital. The Imperial research facility which maintained the complete technical readouts of the first Death Star was also located here. The plans were stolen by Kyle Katarn, and were used in conjunction with the schematics captured on Toprawa in order to give the Alliance the basis for their attack during the Battle of Yavin. The city itself had been designed by the Brodsport Mining Corporation, laid out in a neat grid that gave it very little character. (SFE, SWMW)

Trident
This Alliance Mon Calamari cruiser was operative during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. The Trident was destroyed when a group of Imperial assault gunboats ambushed the frigate, as it was traveling with the Luklucle and the Challenge. (TIE, TIEP)

Tridius
This was a planet. (DE1)

Tri-Droid
This unusual combat droid was developed by the Separatists during the Clone Wars. These droids were essentially larger versions of the octuptarra droid, which was named for the vine-climber that was native to the planet Skako. The tri-droids were named for their three-legged bodies, and were armed with laser turrets. (OWS, SWDB, NEGD)

Triebakk
This Wookiee represented Kashyyyk as a New Republic Senator, and served on the New Republic Advisory Council when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Senator Triebakk was one of the minority which opnely supported the Jedi Knights, despite strong public and private disgruntlement with the Jedi Order. Unfortunately for the Jedi, and for many of the galaxy's inhabitants, Senator Triebakk was one of the Advisory Council members who were lost in the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant. (VP, WOTC, EL1)

Triege
This Imperial noble Lord led the fleet which controlled the Corellian Sector of Nar Shaddaa, during the early years of the New Order. (SWJ7)

Triellus Trade Route
This hyperspace pathway connected the Sisar Run with the Outer Rim Territories near Tatooine. (SSR)

Trier, Garrik
This Imperial Navy Admiral was the commander of the fleet stationed in Brak Sector, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. A confident man, Trier spent a good deal of his free time analyzing Alliance naval tactics, hoping to determine the methods and plans of the Alliance in Brak Sector. (FBS)

Trieron
This planet was the third world in the Veron System. It was covered with cool oceans and glacier-covered continents, and it the site of a number of oceanographic schools, including the Sab Rufo Academy, Metharg's University, and UnitedChem/SoroSuub University. (PG1)

Triewahl Docking Station
It was at this space station that Callandri and her cousin, Zayl Braith, attempted to assassinate Alton Lochner and Tirranna the Wookiee. Only the timely intervention of Tirrannaa's companions saved the Alliance operatives. (AIR)

Trif
This man served the Alliance as a starfighter pilot and military officer, during the months following the Battle of Endor. A former Imperial pilot who defected to the Alliance, he was part of the fleet which traveled to Godo, in order to investigate the strange plague that was affecting the Godoan people. (MC99, MC107)

Trif
Davith Sconn stayed on this planet for 40 days of forced leave - the longest stretch of time he ever spent planet-bound during 24 years of service to the Imperial Navy. (SOL)

Trifecta Star
This area of empty space was located near the Corellian System, and was named for the fact that it housed bases for the Alliance, Black Sun, and the Binyare pirate gang. (SWGAL)

Triffian
This squat, horned, blue-skinned alien species was native to the planet Triffis. (IG1, IWE1)

Triffis
This planet was located on the inner edge of the Mid Rim, and was the homeworld of the Triffian race. (IWE1)

Tri-Fighter
This three-winged, droid starfighter was produced for the Confederacy of Independent Systems by the Colla Designs - part of the Colicoid Creation Nest - and Phlac-Arphocc Automata Industries during the height of the Clone Wars. These craft were distinguished by their shape, but also by the eerie, red "eyes" of the craft's sensor systems. A central sphere held the main droid brain and the drive system, while three curved wings wrapped around the sphere to give the fighter craft its name. The front of each wing was notched to house a laser cannon, and a fourth cannon was mounted on the front of the central sphere. The overall design of the Tri-fighter was based on the skull of a prehistoric hunter-killer that was once native to Colla IV. The ship was powered by three separate thrusters, giving it incredible manevuerability and speed. The 5.4-meter-long Tri-fighter was armed with a medium laser cannon mounted on the main sphere, a light laser cannon mounted on each wing, and a buzz-droid missile launcher. (LEV, VD3, X3)

Tri-fighter
A form of Uglies, the Tri-fighter was one of the staples of the Invid pirate fleet. It was custom designed from the basic ball-shaped cockpit of a TIE Fighter. Attached to it were three angular blades spaced 120 degrees apart. The bottom two served as landing gear, and the third came up over the cockpit. All wings had cutouts to improve pilot visibility. The standard pair of laser cannons remained, augmented by a third mounted on the upon wing. They also had shields. The New Republic's pilots referred to them as clutches. (IJ)

Trig, Anvon
This was the name of a noted Iotran individual. (UANT)

Triga
This compact boardgame was a favorite of spacers. Two players, denoted as the Drann and Sett sides, maneuvered tokens across a four-channeled gameboard, in an effort to reach their home position. (IG1, CVD)

This region of interstellar gases was located near the Taspan System, in the galaxy's Inner Rim. (LSSM)

Trig-berry
A sweet fruit. (THG)

Trigdale Foundries
This was one of the many branches of the Trigdale Metallurgy corporation. The droid known as Bollux worked as a maintenance helper there, at one time during the New Order. (HSE)

Trigdale Metallurgy
This raw mineral and crystal processing and refining corporation was one of the original Contributing Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. It flourished under the rule of Emperor Palpatine, but then floundered shortly after the Battle of Endor. Trigdale shed many of its subordinate divisions in an effort to streamline its business. One of the few that survived on its own was the Marketing division, which became Syndicate One. (CSA, SWJ8)

Trigg
This man was one of the many Loyalists who were fighting to free their homeworld of Jabiim from Imperial control, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. When Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker arrived on the planet, at the request of Nolan Gillmunn himself, Trigg was among a small group who decided to have some sport with Luke. The Jabiimites realized that he was the son of Anakin Skywalker, who they claimed had abandoned the planet to the Separatists during the Clone Wars. Trigg and his thugs beat Luke badly, which Trigg considered payback for the death of his father in the wake of the Battle of Jabiim, until Gillmunn put a stop to it. When Trigg learned of the Imperial ambush of the Loyalist headquarters, he found himself trying to protect Luke and Nolan from a group of stormtroopers. He sacrificed his own life so that they could escape, telling himself all along that he was only doing it for Nolan's safety. (SWESF)

Trigger, Clem
This male Clantaani was a known associate of Longo Two-Guns during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Jabba the Hutt issued a bounty for his capture after Clem defaulted on a "generous" sixty-percent loan, which was eventually claimed by Jango Fett, who was on Tatooine trying to arrange a meeting with Jabba. (BH)

Triggerbird
Native to the Life Zone of the gas giant Bespin, these birds lived among the tentacles of a beldon. This allowed them to feed on other creatures in relative safety. (T)

Triggo
This was a slang term used by Imperial stormtroopers to describe the primitive settlements of alien beings. (T6)

Trigha
This creature was native to the rainforests of Ord Vaxal. (DM106)

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

Trigit, Apwar
Trigit was an Admiral with the Empire, and managed to survive the Battle of Endor and rose to power shortly thereafter. A native of Coruscant, Trigit commanded the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Implacable in service to Warlord Zsinj. Trigit went rogue after the death of Ysanne Isard at Thyferra, but later joined Zsinj's faction. It was Trigit who was responsible for leaking false information about Gravan Seven to the New Republic, hoping to draw them into a trap. This action was quite successful, resulting the loss of eleven pilots from Talon Squadron, and the decommissioning of the Talons. He wasn't as successful in attacking Folor, for his Morrts discovered the false beacons planted there by the New Republic. This earned him the ire of Zsinj, but he hoped to redeem himself by protecting Zsinj's assets. Zsinj decided that the Implacable would receive the first shipment of TIE Fighters from the Pakkerd Light Transport facility on Ession, and he sent the Implacable there with support from the Night Caller. However, the Night Caller was under the control of the New Republic, which had also commandeered the use of the Blood Nest to take the place of the Red Feathers. As the ancient container ship self-destructed, three full squadrons of Republic X-Wings burst forth from her holds and destroyed the Pakkerd facility before it could launch any TIE Fighters. The Night Caller then bombarded the Implacable with proton torpedoes, destroying her power cells and leaving the Star Destroyer adrift. Trigit ordered an evacuation and set the ship to self-destruct. He got to his personal escape craft, and was about to surrender to Edor Crespin and the New Republic when Myn Donos shot his starship and destroyed it. Trigit was killed in the explosion. (WS)

Trigon One
A weapons satellite orbiting Annoo, it was controlled by Tig Fromm and his gang during the early years of the New Order. Sise Fromm hated the technology of the ship, but understood that it was an effective method of keeping the natives of Annoo in line. The ship's existence was discovered by Demma Moll and her rebels, but they were unable to destroy it. Later, Demma approached her own daughter, Kea, along with Thall Joben and Jord Dusat, in the hopes that they might help destroy the ship. The two boys and their droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, were on their way to Boonta to race their speeder, but had to stop on Annoo to repair their hyperdrive. They agreed to help, though their plans were nearly thwarted when Kea and Jord were captured by the Fromms. However, when C-3PO earned the trust of Vlix, the group was able to infiltrate the Trigon One and steal it. (DCAR)

Trihexalon
This biological weapon was developed several years before the onset of the Clone Wars. Known in certain circles as Dragon's Breath, it served as the basis for many bio-weapons developed by the Separatists, and this simple fact allowed the Old Republic's Ministry of Science to quickly identify vaccines to counteract it. The primary Trihexalon production facility established by the Separatists was on Nod Kartha, until Adi Gallia and Nym destroyed it, just prior to the Battle of Geonosis.

For decades, Trihexalon was believed to have been eliminated, until Lumiya began using it to provent unwanted intrusions at her Zorp House apartment, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuhzan Vong. (SWI66, JSF, LF4)

Trihexalophine1138
This chemical defoliant was developed by the scientists of the Confederacy of Independent Systems some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. The original plan to to use the chemical known as swamp gas as part of an attack on the planet Naboo, but the Old Republic was able to stop the Separatists before they could complete the mission. The Gahenna, a scientific transport ship, escaped the fighting on Naboo and went into hiding. For two years, its crew worked on the development of Trihexalophine1138, and was carrying it back to Naboo when the Gahenna was intercepted near Honoghr. The transport ship found itself in an intense firefight with its pursuit, and both ships took heavy damage. Ultimately, the Old Republic cruiser managed to limp back to orbit, but the Gahenna crashed on Honoghr, unleashing the trihexalophine1138. The chemical worked better than expected, rendering Honoghr a dusty wasteland for decades to follow. (RAR, NECH)

Tri-jet Air Brake
This was one of the more powerful air brake available to pod racers, employing three reverse-thrust jets to increasing stopping power. (RAC)

Trijit
This was a popular name among the Amanin people, named for a famous individual in Amanin history. (UANT)

Trikaloo Surprise
This meal was developed by chefs on the planet Corellia, using the flesh of the trikaloo. (CN1)

Trikar
This Mando'a word translated into Basic as "sadness." (OWS)

Trikar'la
This Mando'a word translated into Basic as "sad." (OWS)

Trikker, Trusty
This elderly Quarren owned and operated Trusty Trikker's Guns & Ammo, a small weapons dealership located in the settlement of Bartyn's Landing, on the planet Lamaredd, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. Trikker was easily distinguished by the fact that he was missing one eye, the result of a shootout many years before. The loss of his eye forced Trikker to retire from the outlaw trade, but he never lost his love of weapons. Thus, he established the store on Lamaredd to help the many beings who hunted or fished in the oceans of his homeworld. (GMR7)

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

Trileaf
A tree native to the planet Z'trop. (MMY)

Trilinae
This Corellian woman was one of the many Jedi Padawans who were stationed at the Almas Academy during the height of the Clone Wars. Tril, as she was known to her friends, was also something of a gearhead, and spent much of her free time working in the Academy's starship hangars. Tril was also good friends with Aayla Secura, and spent as much time as she could with the Twi'lek female when she was on Almas. Her ability to connect with the Force was often fleeting, although Darrus Jeht noted that when she was able to make contact, Tril seemed to be an exceptional conduit for its power. Her twin sister, Milinae, didn't show the same sensitivity to the Force, and became a smuggler. Just before the end of the Clone Wars, Trilinae was aboard the combat shuttle Squall when it was commandeered by ARC Trooper Mar'ek and his comrades. It was believed that she died aboard the ship when the command was issued to execute Order 66. (LFCW)

Trill
This was the twentieth symbol in the Aurebesh script, and represents the Basic letter "t". (SWM)

Trill, Quintana
This woman was one of the most popular holo-movie stars, during the height of the New Order. She never missed the opening night of one of her films, and was known for her flambouyant personal appearances. (GFT)

Trill Aurek Papa
This was one of the many Galactic City Air Traffic Control impound stations that were arrayed in orbit around Coruscant, during the years that followed the Second Galactic Civil War. (FJ3)

Trilli
This man was one of the Peacekeeperrs who protected the survivors of the Outbound Flight Project, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (SQ)

Trillidor, Parmella
This woman was originally a low-tech mechanic from the Kibilini Sector, until she began attracting men. Over the course of ten years, she had six spearate marriages, and eventually gained enough voting blocks to become a director of the Kibilini Smugglers' Guild. When she learned of Artur Manliss' plans to corner the spice market in the Portmoak Sector, she decided to leave Kibilini. She took roughly half the Guild with her, forming the Anavill Smuggler's Guild and joining the Mandroxan cartel as the primary shipper of Manliss' spice. She actually won the contract from Sehvorah in a heated suvac game. Many rumors flew around that she was planning to marry Artur Manliss, in an effort to secure more control of Mandroxan. (GG11)

Trillili, Chalmer
This man was the leader of the Scourge, a pirate gang which worked on the outer fringes of Elrood Sector during the height of the New Order. He was at one time a member of the Alliance military, but he deserted when the Alliance's goals clashed with his own selfish morals. Chalmer was quite intelligent, but was a hopeless romantic who believed that pirates were the most honorable form of law enforcement. Chalmer secretly worked with Imperial Mining, Limited, and agreed to protect the planet Alluuvia from Radell Mining Corporation for a substantial fee. (OE)

Trillium
This plant, which was native to the planet Kashyyyk, was used by the Wookiee race to create a pleasant-smelling soap for cleaning their fur. (TG)

Trillka
A green, froglike alien with a humanoid body, she gets involved with C-3PO and R2-D2 when they come to be owned by the Baron Pitareeze of Kalarba. She was paid by the Baron, through R2-D2, to fix a crack in C-3PO's cranial casing. When she finished, Threepio was repaired, although he had an X-shaped patch on sealant on his head. This made him look exactly like the assassin droid, C-3PX, and a series of misadventures ensued on Hosk Station. The situation was resolved, but when the droids returned to Hosk, Trillka helped them reroute an explosion set by Olag Greck so that it blows out the top of the spaceport, rather than downward into the planet. (DRO)

Trillot
This X'Ting was a noted crimelord on the planet Ord Cestus, during the last years of the Old Republic. Many considered Trillot to be one of the most powerful beings in the capital city of ChikatLik, operating at the nexus between the criminal underworld, the corporate leaders, and the other races of Ord Cestus. Among Trillot's primary contacts was his distant cousin, Caiza Quill, linking Trillot to the powerful Five Families. Originally hired by Cestus Cybernetics as a communications drone, Trillot found a niche in labor relations. He was known as a risk-taker, which helped him gather wealth and influence in a short period of time. He managed to find a source of viptiel that helped keep his sexual phases changes to a minimum, allowing him to operate without the need to reporduce. In order to better interact with his various underworld contacts, Trillot learned a multitude of languages, and spoke many of them fluently. Trillot always tried to play all the angles of a situation, so during the Clone Wars Trillot worked with both the Separatists and the Old Republic. Some two years after the Battle of Geonosis, Trillot was a male who was experiencing the change to female when she agreed to serve as a contact for Obi-Wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto, when the Jedi Masters were dispatched to Ord Cestus to learn the truth behind the Separatist involvement in the JK-series security droid. However, Trillot was intercepted by Asajj Ventress before he could meet with Obi-Wan. The Dark Jedi forced Trillot to remember his deal with Count Dooku, and Trillot immediately agreed to lead the Jedi down a false trail. Ventress, however, wanted to capture the Jedi, and ordered Trillot to provide as much of the truth as Obi-Wan requested. After the Desert Wind terrorists were routed, Trillot and many other inhabitants of ChikatLik felt a brief sigh of relief, until the terrorists severely disabled the Clandes Industrial complex. As Cestians began hording their resources against a possible shortage, gambling and drug revenues quickly dwindled to minimal levels, leaving Trillot with almost nothing. After Asajj Ventress failed to kill Obi-Wan, and the Five Families were smashed, Trillot found herself confronted by the Dark Jedi, who needed to ensure that there were no loose ends to expose Dooku's plot. With a swift slash of her lightsaber, Ventress executed Trillot. (TCD)

Trilon, Incorporated
This small starship designer produced fewer than a dozen different designs. It also produced small runs each year. Trilon's best designs were in starship hulls, and it licensed the use of components from Arakyd, Kuat Drive Yards, and Sienar Fleet Systems. This allowed Trilon's customers to mix and match their components, and create a custom-built product. During the last years of the Old Republic, Trilon was known for its compact speeders, like the M-31, which were used throughout Galactic City on Coruscant. (EGV, HNN5)

Trilos
This was the primary satellite of the planet Atraken. When the planet was devastated during the Clone Wars, most of the planet's inhabitants fled to the mining outposts on Trilos to live. (PG2)

TriLuna
Manufacturers of large-scale stardrives and hyperdrive motivators for capital ships. (SCRE)

Trimantium
This material was used to plate starship hulls. It was extremely durable, and provides a great deal of protection when used in combination with shields. (SWJ9)

Trimpian
This food source was often sliced for cooking, and was often served with miasra sauce. It had a tangy taste. (VOF, SWG2P)

Trin
In the casino game known as trin sticks, a trin was the ability to form six colored sticks into two separate triangles. At each point of the triangles, the colors at the ends of the stick had to match in order to form a valid trin. (SESB, GMR8)

Trin, Gespar
This man lived on the streets of Tel Bollin, on the planet Endregaad, during the early years of the New Order. A spice addict, Trin tried to peddle normal glitterstim spice as the medicinal spice that was required to treat the Endregaad Plague, using whatever profit he earned to buy more glitterstim. (TF)

Trin Sticks
This was a popular casino game in casinos along the border between the Core Worlds and the Mid Rim, during the early years of the New Republic. Ostensibly a simple game, the object of trin sticks was to create geometric shapes using a combination of colored sticks. Each stick was painted with different colors at each end of the stick: red, blue, green, or yellow. At the start, players drew six sticks from a common pool, holding them so that one end was concealed in their hands. Using the colors as guides, players had to match colors at the corners to form geometric shapes with their sticks. The more complex the shape, the larger the payoff. Betting was based on the number and types of shapes a player could form: a simple triangle was the most common shape, while two distinct triangles - a pattern known as a trin - was the highest possible outcome. With each round, a player could discard up to five sticks, placing them in the common pool and drawing out the same number of sticks. (SESB, SWJ7, GMR8, GCG)

Trinary Machine Language
This was a more sophisticated form of machine communication, with more ability to describe complex representations than binary languages. (FH3)

Trinciuum
This gaseous world was the second planet of the Muunilinst System. Orbited by a single moon, Trinciuum was formed from acidic clouds of gas. (GORW)

Trindellian Oak
This deciduous, hardwood tree was native to the planet Trindello. Its strong wood was harvested and exported to many worlds in the Moddell Sector, for use in construction and furniture making. Xenobotanists discovered that individual Trindellian oaks were not free-standing trees, but shoots that grew from a shared root system. Individual oaks were fast-growing trees, reaching enormous heights in just a few decades. When harvested, Trindellian oaks yielded an unusual, dark green wood that was nearly as hard as iron. The scientists who studied the Trindellian oaks warned of the possibility of extinction if the trees were overharvested, but the logging corporations chose to ignore the warnings. The loggers who worked in the forests had to be careful not to disturb the kargul worms that lived at the heart of each oak cluster. (GMR9)

Trindello
This small moon orbited the only planet in a remote star system that was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. At the center of the system was a white dwarf star. Trindello was known for the huge Trindellian oak trees that grew in its forests. Small, isolated settlements sprang up on Trindello as logging operations took root, but the rest of the planet was uninhabited. (GMR9)

Trine
The season on the planet H'nemthe which was marked by the simultaneous display of the planet's three moons at night. (TME)

Tri-Nebula Entertainment
This subsidiary of TriNebulon news was based in the Minos Cluster of the galaxy, and produced some of the most controversial holo-dramas of the New Republic. Among these holo-dramas were three bogus documentaries on Han Solo and his exploits during the Galactic Civil War, including Eight for Aduba-3: The Saga of the Star-Hoppers. (GMR4)

TriNebula News
see TriNebulon News (GG9)

TriNebulon News
This news agency covered the news and events that occurred in roughly a quarter of the Outer Rim Territories, including Parmel, Quence, and Portmoak Sectors, during the final decades of the Old Republic and throughout the era of the New Order. The editors and reporters at TriNebulon News were fiercely pro-Imperial during the Galactic Civil War, and openly ridiculed Palpatine's opponents in their tabloid-style reports. TriNebulon News was one of the original Signatory Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. (GG9, CSA, SWJ8)

Trineutronium
This was a form of neutronium that was used to fuel power plants on many planets across the galaxy, during the early years of the New Republic. The use of trineutronium as a fuel source was not without its problems, as many environmental investigators claimed it could cause genetic damage in most living beings. In addition, if there was a problem within the power plant, the trineutronium was extremely volatile, and could explode with devastating force. (LSSM)

Trinia, J'Kek M'hoy
This Gorothite, a member of the J'Kek j'ber and a clanmate of J'Kek D'rith Kalama, argued that the Rel'Kan's negotiations with the Corellian and Aqualish parties that wanted mining rights to Goroth Prime would lead the planet to the brink of disaster. The grass-roots movement of J'Kek M'hoy Trinia and his followers wanted the negotiations to stop, and demanded that all concessions taken by the P'Dar'Ken be returned. Further, the group asked that all ties to the Corellians and the Aqualish be severed, and no mining rights whatsoever be given out. (GSE)

Trinium
This mineral, mined on the planet Quas Killam, was used in the manufacture of weapons systems during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SOJ)

Trinivii
One of the more powerful Hutt kajidics. (RD)

Trinja, Cheryl
This young woman was naturally strong and adept with the Force, and used it to communicate with the animals that lived in the forests surrounding her farm home. After her parents were killed during the Imperial subjugation of her homeworld, Cheryl hid in the forests and grew up there, separated from the rest of humanity. She was coaxed out of hiding shortly after the Battle of Endor by a group of New Republic agents and Jedi students, all of which discovered that her powers were far more advanced than their own. (GMS)

Trinka
This hot, rocky world was the first planet in the Elrood System. A small group of researchers maintains a small station on the planet. (PG3)

Trinkatta, Boll
This Kloodavian owned the Trinkatta Starships manufacturing facility on Esseles, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. When Adi Gallia came to Esseles to investigate the building of hyperdrive-equipped droid starfighters, Trinkatta had her imprisoned. He knew that the ships - ordered to have the hyperdrives installed by the Trade Federation - were illgeal, but he needed the business. He protested their development after a test pilot was killed. However, his own labor and security droids turned against him, and they threw him in a cell as well. They were reprogrammed by the Trade Federation, after Boll refused to deliver the upgraded ships. (E1A1)

Trinkatta Starships
Headquartered on the outskirts of Calamar, on the planet Esseles, this starship manufacturer was owned by Boll Trinkatta. Trinkatta was contracted to develop and build fifty hyperdrive-equipped droid fighters shortly before the Battle of Naboo. The Jedi Council sent Adi Gallia to investigate who paid Trinkatta to build them, but she disappeared. Much of the facility in Calamar was controlled by droids, with minimal human involvement. When Boll Trinkatta learned that the starfighters were Xi Charran designs commissioned by the Trade Federation, he refused to help and was also imprisoned when Bartokk assassins re-programmed the factory's droids to eliminate any resistance. It was later revealed that Darth Sidious himself had ordered the manufacture of the droid starfighters, as part of a plan to seize control of the plant Brentaal, thereby controlling the Hydian Way and the Perlemian Trade Route. (E1A1, E1A3)

Trinn
This man, a native of the planet Oorn Tchis, was Keyan Farlander's uncle. Keyan asked Trinn and his wife, Mimya, to take care of Kitha Farlander following the Imperial invasion of Agamar, some months before the Battle of Yavin. (XW, XWP)

T'rinn
This alien race was distinguished by its bright plumage. (HSL)

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

Trinta
This swampy planet was the site of a nexus of the energies of the Dark Side of the Force. The fifth planet orbiting the star Yartiv, Trinta was first discovered by the Ithorians, but even the nature-loving Ithorians disliked the planet immediately. They named it for the realms of demons in their mythology and left it alone. More than ninety percent of the planet was covered with fetid swamps, with the remaining area dotted by tiny islands and mudbanks. Many decades later, the nexus flared and engulfed the entire planet after Halagad Ventor arrived on the planet, fleeing the Jedi Purge and Darth Vader. It orbited the red star Yartiv, in a sector of the Outer Rim Territories. Several attempts have been made to colonize the planet in the modern era, but the Dark Side nexus drove the settlers mad before too long. Trinta's gravity was somewhat less than standard, but the difference was often made up by the deep mud which covered most of the planet. (DOE)

Trinta
This was the name of the realm of demons in the Ithorian mythology. (DOE)

Trinta, Oti
This man was a native of the planet Naboo. He was also a member of the Naboo Diplomatic Corps, and served in the Naboo Underground during the Trade Federation's invasion of the Naboo System. (SON)

Trintic
This alien race joined the New Republic. They were a technically-adept race, and served often as starship technicians. (SOP)

Trioculus
This mutant human claimed to be the banished son of the late Emperor Palpatine. His mutation was manifested in the presence of a third eye in the center of his forehead, which had hypnotic powers. As a child, he was ridiculed by the other schoolchildren on his home world of Kessel, and he became obsessed with exacting revenge on them. He studied a great deal of the history of the Imperial war machine, and became an expert on Imperial military tactics. He grew to become a ruthless leader, cruel and evil in his treatment of others.

He was serving as the Supreme Slavelord of the Kessel spice mines when Grand Moff Hissa began to cultivate a friendship with him, in an effort to prepare him as a replacement for Triclops, Palpatine's true mutant son. His trusted droid, Emdee-5, had implanted a cybernetic device in his body that would allow him to created simulated Force lightning, giving the impression that Trioculus was gifted with the Force, even though he had no sensitivity whatsoever. When he tried to bargain with Zorba the Hutt for Princess Leia's life, Zorba captured him and froze him in carbonite. Supreme Prophet Kadann recovered a fake, frozen form of Trioculus and vaporized it, thinking that he had killed the pretender.

However, Zorba kept the real Trioculus on board the Zorba Express, where it was recovered by the Grand Moffs near Tatooine. He was about to marry Princess Leia, who had been taken from Zorba along with Trioculus, but Han Solo and Luke Skywalker replaced her with a replica droid. The droid fatally wounded him during the wedding ceremony, and he died shortly after. (GDV, ZHR, MMY, QE, PDS)

Triple Zero
This was the slang term used by the clone commanders of the Grand Army of the Republic to decribe Corusant, since its galactic coordinates were 0,0,0.

This medical reference details the bollen patterns of many sentient species. (CFG)

Trispzest
This was a form of lightsaber combat developed by Kharys, the Majestrix of the planet Skye. It was based on the Form VII style of lightsaber combat, but unlike the Vaapad style of Mace Windu, Trispzest melded S'kyri martial arts with Jedi techniques to create Trispzest.

(SWCP)

Trist, Shiana
A former soldier, this bounty hunter was active during the final decades of the Old Republic. Noted for her skills as a sniper and master assassi, Trist was among the handful of bounty hunters to accepted a job to eliminate several Cularin-based freelance agents, just after the Battle of Naboo. Shiana managed to locate the agents in a warehouse on Nar Shaddaa, using K1-1R's seeker droids to help pinpoint their location. She was able to pin them down with sniper fire, primarily because they were trying to protect Korlana Toryn. This allowed K1-1R and Drokka to move in and capture the agents and their charge.

An argument then ensued between the bounty hunters about using a carbon-freezing chamber to render the agents unable to fight back. After confirming Korlana's identity, the argument turned to whether or not to use the chamber on her as a test, so that none of the agents were killed. Shiana only reluctantly agreed to K1-1R's plan to freeze Korlana, and was somewhat relieved when one of the agents volunteered to take her place.

When the chamber exploded after the first freezing, it rendered K1-1R incapacitated, allowing the agents to escape. In the firefight that ensued, Shiana and Drokka fought bravely, until Drokka was killed and K1-1R was destroyed. Shiana then surrendered, in an effort to avoid being killed. She was held in jail for a short while, and was eventually released.

Shiana returned to bounty hunting, although many of the jobs she took involved the legitimate capture of wanted criminals. She was investigating the whereabouts of the Liana Liberators when she learned that they had hidden themselves aboard a Cularin Star Tours cruise vessel. Shiana enlisted the help of the freelance crew of the Starchaser IV to help her apprehend them, finally capturing them in the Cularin Asteroid Belt. She continued to work in the Cularin System for many years, always taking jobs that kept real criminals out of action. (AA23, REPL)

They had been told to meet Ben at the Big Boom cantina, where he would be drinking a Sapphire Fogblaster. The only way Ben could tell them apart was their synthatex jumpsuits, because Trista wore one that was maroon in color. Ben found their faces familiar, and later learned that the twins were the cousins of Tenel Ka. He also learned that Trista was the older sibling, having been born five minutes before Taryn.

Although the sisters managed to get Ben away from Nova Station, they were unable to make their rendezvous with Prince Isolder aboard the Beam Racer, which was captured by Tahiri Veila and the Anakin Solo. Trista and Taryn continued on their mission to return Ben to Shedu Maad, but brought news of Isolder's capture to the Queen Mother. Their chance for worrying about his safety was shortened when Darth Caedus discovered that the Jedi were on Shedu Maad, and launched an attack to trap them there and destroy them. Ben, Trista, and Taryn were placed in charge of evacuating the younglings from the Jedi base, before returning to defend the remaining Jedi from attack.

On Shedu Maad, they learned of the Imperial attack on the Dragon Queen and the use of a nanokiller to kill the royal family, and came to the conclusion that Ducha Requud had assisted the Imperials in exchange for the chance to assume the role of Queen Mother. After learning that the Ducha had been killed aboard the Deserving Gem, they learned that General Livette had been in league with the Ducha, and had helped the Imperials land an assault force on the planet. Taryn and Ben Skywalker set out with a group of Her Majesty's Commandos to confront the Imperials, while Trista remained behind to ensure Livette couldn't cause any more trouble. (LF9)

Despite the general lack of life in the system, a few of the Triton Moons had been colonized by insectoid, religious acolytes during the early years of the New Order. Many spacer referred to the barren landscapes of Triton and its moons in a mild expletive.

Like other spaceports found within the Domains of Triton, Triton Besh Port was strictly regulated by the insectile beings who made their homes on the moons. Many spacers found a large percentage of these laws to be simplistic and inane, and overlooked the more important regulations that were sprinkled in between. In adherence with the laws of the Domains of Triton, the cantina found within Triton Besh Port only served fruit juices and distilled water. No intoxicants or stimulants of any kind were served, and music was strictly prohibited. Many spacers who were trying to quit drinking alcohol often preferred to transport their cargoes through Triton Besh, since being stuck in a dry cantina was cheaper than going to a hospital. (OWS)

This man became one of the most skilled assassins of the new generation of the Mecrosa Order, and was active during the era of the Clone Wars. Despite his ties to House Pelagia, Tritum became one of the strongest supporters of the use of Sith rituals in the Mecrosa Order's activities, despite the fact that he had no sesitivity at all to the Force. This belief in the Sith arts led him to take on a daring mission, during which he infiltrated House Pelagia and managed to recover an ancient Sith Holocron. The holocron had been created by King Adas of the most ancient Sith empire, and Tritum claimed to have killed three Jedi Knights in order to recover it. This holocron was later passed on to Lumiya. (OWS, EGF)

Tritum XI
This nobleman was born into House Pelagia, of the Tapani Sector of the galaxy, more than 4,000 years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. Known as a forward-thinking individual throughout his life, Tritum was eventually named the High Lord of House Pelagia, and assumed control of his family's holdings within the Tapani Sector. His position allowed him to see first-hand the stagnation that was occurring within the noble families of the sector, and he set out to infuse House Pelagia with new blood, hoping to improve the family both genetically and personally. His choice of Vjunite noble Viscountess Mireya was later questioned by historians, as it was Mireya who was believed to have brought Sith teachings to the Mecrosa Order. (OWS)

This was the name of the leadership group that led the Galactic Alliance, during the years leading up to the Sith-Imperial War. In the months leading up to the Battle of Caamas, the Triumverate was made up of Bail Antilles, Gial Gahan, and Nu Toreena. While Gial Gahan supported the Jedi Order and agreed with the cautious advice of Kol Skywalker, Nu Toreena agreed with Rear Admiral Piers Petan, who advocated swift action in dealing with the growing threat of the New Empire. Only Antilles remained undecided, and the input he received from Admiral Gar Stazi was not enough to sway him to remain cautious. In the end, the Triumverate voted to launch an attack on Roan Fel, hoping to capture or kill him during a meeting near Caamas. The attack drew most of the Galactic Alliance's naval forces into battle, allowing the combined Sith and Imperial forces to spring their trap.

Troiken Xexto
This was the name used by the Old Republic to describe the Xexto race, after it was discovered that the Quermians were genetic descendants of the Xextos.

He followed in his father's footsteps, though, and made it through the Academy on Vogel 3 with good grades. He eventually became one of the Empire's best TIE Fighter pilots, until he was chosen for the raid on Aguarl 3. There, his entire wing of TIE Bombers was destroyed, and only his ability to fly kept him from crashing into the seas. He managed to return to the Star Destroyer Ravagor, where a medical droid waas forced to replace some of his limbs with prosthetic, cyborg limbs. Following this accident, Trommer was assigned as an aide to Governor Grigor on M'haeli, and given orders to keep a watchful eye on the Governor. While on M'haeli, he infiltrated a group of Alliance supporters, and won the favor of the human heiress, Mora. The rebels held Trommer in obvious suspicion until Trommer discovered the Grigor was secretly mining dragite and keeping the profits for himself. Trommer also discovered that Grigor was using H'drachi slaves to mine the dragite. The group of rebels, with the assistance on Leia Organa, were able to destroy the dragite mines and bring Grigor's reign to an end. Trommer then defected to the Alliance. (ROC)

Tromonid
An insectile creature with four legs, a long tail, and two large pincers used to capture its prey. The female of the species special sacs along her side that fill with poison, making the tromonid deadly to eat. The tromonid was often milked for its poison by criminals. (JTH)

Trompa
A massive, bipedal creature, the trompa was a three-meter-tall killing monster native to a number of heavily-forested planets. It had long arms, with huge paws and sharp claws. It was covered with fur, and its face resembled a cross between a gorilla and a saurian. The trompa was believed to be a distant relation to the wampa ice creature found on Hoth, but it had adapted to life in warmer climates. The average trompa was fairly intelligent but, despite its apeparance, was not particularly adept at hunting. They tended to live in environments where prey was plentiful, removing the need to go to great lengths to capture prey.

Trompas were among the many creatures that were valued as gladiator beasts, during the final years of the Old Republic. (GCQ, WOTC, NEGA)

Tron
This slang term was used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe the act of damaging or destroying an enemy vehicle. Most Special Operations soldiers described this as causing a "spectacularly debilitating irreversible maneuvering capability deficit" to the enemy vehicle, which meant causing it to crash. When an enemy vehicle was taken out, soldiers often exclaimed that it had been "tronned." (GG9)

Tron Boral Maneuver
Sometimes described as esoteric, this starship maneuver was used by Grand Admiral Thrawn during his first sweep through New Republic space about five years after the Battle of Endor. (VOF)

Tronda
This gray-skinned, Twi'lek female was living in the city of Nabat with her family during the final years of the Old Republic. Tronda was known for her visions of the future, and she had a brief vision of trouble just before Separatist forces invaded Ryloth and sent battle droids to subjugate the city of Nabat. It was believed that Tronda was captured and held prisoner as part of the living shield used by commander droid TX-20 to protect the proton cannons that defended the Separatist base. (CWOC1)

Tronis
This was the smallest of the three continents found on Algara II. (PG2)

Tront, Squa
This male Umbaran was dispatched by Black Sun to the planet Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars, to ensure that the production of bota continued to provide a steady stream to the criminal underworld. Squa Tront arrived on Drongar with Thula, and worked with Kaird to re-establish the pipeline. However, it soon became known that the bota plant was mutating at a rate that would render it useless as a medicinal wonder-drug in a short time. Thus, Kaird's plans changed, and he worked to acquire enough processed bota to return to Black Sun and retire. Squa Tront and Thula had other plans, however. When Kaird entrusted them with obtaining the bota and leaving it at a predetermined location, the two criminals opted to keep the bota for themselves. In its place, they left Kaird with a cargo crate filled with explosives. They hoped to eliminate the Nediji and claim the payment for the bota for themselves. Unknown to both, however, was that Kaird discovered their duplicity, and had set out to hunt them down. (MJH)

Tronten, Garox

Troob
One of the two sentient races native to the planet Tahlboor, the Troobs were humanoid in stature. They had dark blue skin, unlike the Hobors which tended toward brownish skin. Both races were characterized by their wide faces, which were flanked by a several rings of spade-shaped flaps. Five sets of these flaps ring the upper part of the head, and hair was interspersed among the flaps. The flaps stand upright, away from the head. The rest of their faces were cat-like, with a long, flat nose and toothy mouths. Like the Hobors, a thick mane of hair covers the back of their head. Most of the Troobs were heavyset in build. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, the Troobs and Hobors appealed to Tion Hegemony to assist in reconciling a generations-old feud between them while negotiating a trade agreement. Counselor Harthan was called in, but was manipulated out of position by his son, Jake, who hoped to get the two races to destroy each other so he could control Mount Yeroc. Eventually, with the help of R2-D2 and C-3PO, Jake's plans were thwarted and peace was restored. (DRPC)

This was a nickname used by Han Solo to describe his friend, Alexsandr Badure. (HSL)

Trooper Scooper
This was the term used by the New Republic to describe those Ssi-ruuvi starships that scoured battle zones for survivors. The name came from the way in which these ships simply scooped up the survivors as they moved, bringing any living being inside where it could be enteched for its life energy. In a gruesome action, the Ssi-ruuk them ejected the discarded bodies as projectile weapons, in an effort to psychologically damage their enemies. (FH2)

This was the term used to describe the repulsor-equipped troop transport vehicles that were produced for the Galactic Alliance, during the years following the Swarm War. (LF9)

Troos
This planet was known for the diversity of was arthropodal species. (COG)

Troos Armored Crebik
This creature lived in the subartic forests of the planet Troos, making its home in the pinnoc trees and preying on other arthropods. What made these creatures unique was their method of hunting prey. Because their shells were extremely thick and heavy, crebiks would simply hang in the trees and wait for their prey to pass below. The crebik then released its grip and fell like a stone, crushing the prey and breaking open its shell to expose the flesh. Crebiks themselves were immune from attack, since no other creature on Troos could penetrate their own thick shell. Crebiks mated by traveling to the nearby body of water and consuming great quantities of it, causing their bodies to expand and exposing vulnerable flesh. A mating dance ensues, and the crebiks release the water at the end of the ritual. Each crebik had eight legs, the foremost pair being tipped with heavy claws and used like arms. A powerful pair of pincers surrounded their mouths. (COG)

Trooshti
This small, winged species of lizard resembles a yellow-furred dragonfly. They have blue wings and red eyes, and require a wet, damp environment in which to live. A colony of them took up residence in a cave-like water chamber in an abandoned moisture farm on Tatooine, after being transported to the planet as exotic pets. Shortly before the historic Boonta Eve Classic podrace won by Anakin Skywalker, the batteries which provided power to the pumps that kept water flowing to their hidden caves failed. A group of daring trooshti traveled to Mos Espa and stole the battery out of Anakin's podracer. They were caught by Jar Jar Binks and Queen Amidala, who tracked them to the moisture farm. Amidala recognized the problem with their equipment and fixed a reversed polarity problem which had been draining their batteries instead of charging them. The trooshti then returned Anakin's battery. (QA)

Trop
This common, though archaic, Zabrak surname meant "shipwright". It originally referred to builders of sailing ships, although later referred to speeder builders. (GCG)

Troper, Milac
This man served the Galactic Scout Corps some forty years before the Battle of Yavin, before joining the Imperial Diplomatic Corps. In his career as a scout, Troper and his partners, Mission Commander Dayla Kev and Lietuenant Hereven, once traveled to an undiscovered jungle world. It was the third-to-last planet on their agenda, but it proved to be the most dangerous. Troper fled in a panic, fearing that his comrades had been killed by a gasnit. Troper later reported the loss of Kev and Hereven, and was temporarily suspended for his lack of valor. A rescue mission failed to locate Kev and Hereven, but it did report back on the ferocity of the gasnits. Troper was re-instated, and he eventually joined the Imperial Diplomatic Corps. Unknown to Troper, however, was the fact that both Kev and Hereven survived the attack of the gasnit. Many years later, Troper was aboard the Galactic Horizon to negotiate a treaty when he discovered that Dayla Kev had been plotting to exact revenge against him. Only his foresight in hiring a team of freelance mercenaries to be his bodyguards saved him from her attacks. Troper tried to explain to her that his flight from the jungle planet haunted him nearly every day, but she refused to believe him. However, Troper managed to escape unharmed while Dayla and her son, Hereven, were taken into custody. (GMR6)

Trophill Gardens
Located in the East Minor section of Coruscant's southern hemisphere, this was a major tourist attraction on the planet. Most of the Gardens were contained in a huge, high-walled, circular plaza, and provided visitors with the illusion of being on a peaceful world of exotic plantlife. Perhaps the Gardens' most popular attraction, and what set it apart from the Skydome Botanical Gardens, were the Green Mazes. (SOL, CCW)

Trophy Chase
This team sport evolved on Dalos IV, and involved teams of riders flying immature nephs to maneuver over a wide playing field. Using repulsor-equipped clubs, players tried to knock an anti-grav ball into the opposing team's target ring. There were few rules to the sport, and most matches were decidedly violent in nature. (ND)

Tropis, Adarian
A former legislator, Adarian and a group of idealistic colonists left Salliche about 250 years before the Galactic Civil War. They left in search of their own world, being disaffected by the corruption and ineffective bureaucracy, and eventually settled on Varonat. The colonists instituted an agrarian lifestyle, which they felt was threatened by the slime trails left by the Morodin. However, the Morodins found a way to communicate with the colonists, and revealed the value of the nutrient-rich slime. (SWJ1, SWJ13)

Tropis-on-Varonat
This was a jungle city found the planet Varonat, found in the backwater of the Ison Corridor. Note that The Essential Guide to Characters lists Tropis-on-Varonat as Tropis-on-Varont, a planet. (SWJ1, EGC, DFRSB)

Tropotaur
This unusual reptile was distinguished by its ability to capture its prey and then transport it back to a common location, where all the individuals in its lair could share the prey. The prey was not harmed by the tropotaur, and was often delivered to the community nest alive and intact, so that others could take part in its killing. This served to bring food to the entire lair, and allowed younger tropotaurs a chance to test their hunting skills. (RF4)

Tropsobor
This Imperial escort carrier was assigned to transport TIE Avenger prototypes to the Star Destroyer Protector, patrolling the space near Gerbaud 2, several weeks after the Battle of Hoth. (TIE, TIEP)

When he learned that one of his own clan members, a thug named Gahseelik, had left Trandosha to join the criminal organization of Gardulla the Hutt, Trosslik posted a bounty for his capture and return to Trandosha. Trosslik claimed that Gahseelik had "disgraced the clan by leaving Trandosha to work for a filthy Hutt." (BH)

Troujow, Hasti
A short, slender, pale girl with red hair, Hasti and her sister Lanni were miners on the planet Dellalt, working for J'uoch and R'all during the early years of the New Order. When Lanni discovered the log-recorder from the Queen of Ranroon, she was killed by J'uoch. Hasti managed to escape, and found shelter with her old friend, Alexsandr Badure. About two year before the Battle of Yavin, they enlisted the aid of Skynx and Han Solo in finding the Queen of Ranroon and avenging Lanni's death.

Once they arrived on Dellalt, Hasti tried to recover the log-recorder from its resting place in a safe-deposit box kept by the Dellaltian Bank and Currency Exchange, but the box was protected by a voice-recognition system. The local Dellaltians mistook Hasti for her sister, and revealed that Lanni had made a trek deep into the mountains. The group trudged their way into the mountains, and eventually discovered the existence of the Survivors. It was among the Survivors that Hasti recognized a clerk from the bank, and realized that he was a Survivor.

The man revealed that he had made up the need for a voice-print on Hasti, in order to recover the log-recorder for himself, so that he could return it to the Survivors. Hasti had the last laugh, however, when she confronted the man after the Guardian Corps was destroyed. It was by interrogating the Survivors that Hasti and her group learned that the Queen of Ranroon had been dismantled, and her cargo was actually in the deepest vaults of the Dellaltian Bank. Although she was dismayed to find that the "treasure" of the Queen of Ranroon contained little more than common raw materials and a collection of ancient data tapes, Hasti was more than happy to accept a job as a transport agent for Skynx and his university.

The dating of Han Solo's involvement in locating the Queen of Ranroon is implied in an article on New Year Fete Week in the Star Wars Adventure Journal, issue 5. (HSL, SWJ5)

Troujow, Lanni
This young woman was Hasti's sister, and their resemblance to each other was quite uncanny. They were both working in the Dellaltian mines during the early years of the New Order, slaving away for J'uoch and R'all, when Lanni discovered the log-recorder from the Queen of Ranroon. Lanni was a fair pilot, having inherited her father's Pilot's Guild book, and was able to make the transport runs for the mining operation. Lanni began asking discreet questions about the legendary ship, but her inquiries reached the ears of J'uoch and R'all, who wanted to claim the starship for themselves. They ordered Lanni killed and the log-recorder stolen, but their people only succeeded in killing Lanni, who had alerted her sister of the recorder's existence before she hid it in a lock-box. (HSL)

Trouvee
This family owned and operated a large gambling complex on Oseon VII, during the years following the Alliance-Confederation War. (MF)

Trouvee, Cix
A member of the noted Trouvee family, this man was known as one of the worst sabacc players of his generation. He claimed that his gambling was an homage to his father, who taught him how to bet on swoop races. However, instead of focusing on one form of gambling, Cix tried everything he could, and usually lost more than he could afford. What he didn't lose gambling, he spent on frivolous things for himself and his friends. The only constant thing in his life was the starship he had purchased from the Molpol Circus, the Millennium Falcon, but he lacked any technical aptitude for maintaining the ship. During the early years of the New Order, Trouvee was known as Glass Eye to other gamblers and sabacc players, because most players could almost read his mind once he started losing. After losing a huge sum of credits on the outcome of the battle between the Star Destroyer Desolator and a group of insurgents at Yag'Dhul, Trouvee was forced to enter a particularly desparate match against Lando Calrissian. Hoping to earn enough credits to cover his debt to the Baath Brothers, Trouvee had to put up his starship as collateral to cover a wager. Lando ultimately won the sabacc match and the ship, although he later lost the ship to Han Solo. Broke and without a source of income, Cix found that his luck began to turn for the better after losing the match and the ship. He returned to his family's businesses on Oseon VII, and he eventually earned a name for himself by rising up the corporate ladder to assume the role of vice president for PlanetDreams, Incorporated. Cix was later placed in charge of the operation of the Oseon Resort, until he died some forty-three years after the Battle of Yavin. Trouvee's children took over the operations on Oseon VII after his death. (MF)

Trouvee, Doon
This young man was the oldest of Cix Trouvee's three children. Doon and his siblings took over the operations at the Oseon Resort after their father passed away. Doon later met with Han and Leia Solo, to talk with them during their search for the history of the Millennium Falcon. He related stories about his father following Han Solo's exploits during the Galactic Civil War, and even showed the Solos several holoimages of Cix and the starship. (MF)

Trowe, Kemel
This Imperial Navy Admiral held a news conference, shortly before the Battle of Yavin, to explain that the first Death Star had destroyed the planet Alderaan. Imperial HoloVision had originally reported that Alderaan had been destroyed when the natives tried to test their own superweapon. However, Trowe later stated that the Empire had taken what it believed to have been appropriate measures in order to prevent the alleged biowar operations being funded and led by Bail Organa. Trowe refused to release information on the Death Star's then-current location, stating that it was in the best interests of galactic peace that its location be kept secret. (SWJ4, OWS)

(RAG)

Troxan
This alien race was native to the planet Troxar. Troxans were distinguished by their bulbous noses and purple gills, and individual Troxans could be differentiated from each other by their gill patterns. (YDR)

Troxar
This planet was one of many that contemplated secession from the Old Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Factions of support for both the Republic and the Separatists fought an intense civil war, although the planet's leaders supported Count Dooku and the Separatists. The leadership had planned to surrender to the Republic, in hopes of having the Republic's forces withdraw from the planet. Then, in a smashing coup, a government-funded rebellion would storm the remaining Republic forces and claim the planet for the Separatists. While Dooku contemplated the usefulness of such a maneuver, Darth Sidious forbade it. Sidious wanted the fighting to continue on Troxar, in an effort to chew up more clone troopers. (YDR)

Troy
This was an alias used by an Alliance operative who tried to get close to Vengnar Heiff on Ithor, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (MIS7)

Troyt, Callen
This green-skinned Falleen served as one of the original members of Dagger Squadron, and was part of the team that tested the B-Wing fighter when it was first produced for the Alliance. Like the other members of the squadron, Troyt was very experienced on the flight simulators that were used to model the B-Wing's performance, by the had very little actual combat experience. However, what he lacked in experience, he more than made up for in bravery and daring, and it was Troyt who stood up to Admiral Ackbar when he refused to let Dagger Squadron participate in the rescue mission that was sent to Bannistar Station. During the assault on the station, Troyt went by the callsign Gold Dagger. He grew frustrated with Pollard's constant communication with Nera Dantels during the mission, and had to order him to be quite in order to report on the status of the battle. (SWRSV)

TR-SD

He agreed to accompany a group of New Republic representatives to Ryloth to see what the Diversity Alliance was all about. When the true nature of the Diversity Alliance was exposed, a firefight broke out. Trubor was shot and killed ealry in the battle. (TEP)

Trucemaker
This Galactic Alliance warship was under the command of Gavin Darklighter, and was part of the Fifth Fleet, during the early stages of the Corellia-GA War. As the conflict spread and The Confederation rose to power, Darklighter was promoted to Rear Admiral, and the Trucemaker was transferred to the Fourth Fleet. At the Second Battle of Balmorra, the Trucemaker was given flagship status when the Peacebringer was destroyed in the fighting. (LF6)

True Guild
This was one of the two factions which rose up in the wake of the destruction of the Bounty Hunters Guild. It was led by Gleed Otondon and the elders of the former Guild, and mimicked the old Guild in many ways. However, in the wake of the bounty put out for Trhin Voss'on't and the efficient way the Imperial officer dispatched most of the hunters who came after him, neither faction could sustain its membership. In the end, both the True Guild and the Guild Reform Committee were disbanded. (SLS, HM)

True Justice
This was the name given to the modified YT-series transport vessel that was used by Imperial forces as a floating prison and courtroom, during the early months of the New Order. Built to the specifications of Senator Sano Sauro, the True Justice allowed for the extradition of rebels and insurgents from their homeworlds, where they might have received preferential treatment. By holding the trial aboard the True Justice, Sauro and his cronies could eliminate beings who were causing trouble for the Empire without having to worry about the repercussions of a more public trial. The True Justice was hijacked by Solace, Oryon, and Trever Flume, who posed as Bellassan legal representatives in order to rescue Roan Lands and Dona Telamark. After rescuing the Bellassans, Solace and her team took the True Justice to Samaria to rescue Ferus Olin and Clive Flax. (LJ5)

True Mandalorian
This was the name used by Jaster Mereel to describe those Mandalorian Mercs who supported him in his attempt to unite the disparate clans of Mandalorians under a single leader. The name True Mandalorians came about after Vizlsa and his supporters split away from Mereel and formed the Mandalorian Death Watch. Both factions were nearly exterminated during the Mandalorian Civil War, with the True Mandalorians being wiped out during the Battle of Galidraan. The battle had actually been part of a plot by the Death Watch to eliminate the True Mandalorians, and the plan worked almost to perfection. The surviving member, Jango Fett, was later sold into slavery. (SWI80, EGF)

True Site
This was one of SoroSuub's low-power laser sighting devices designed for mounting onto a blaster. (CFG)

True Sith
This was a term used by galactic historians to describe those descendants of the original Sith Empire that was destroyed in the Great Hyperspace War. These Sith believed in the strength of a united force of Sith Lords and warriors, with the power of the Sith coming from multiple beings at one time, rather than the Rule of Two that was later devised by Darth Bane. In the wake of the Great Hyperspace War, these so-called True Sith fled into the deepest regions of unexplored space, hoping to lick their wounds and recover their strength. These Sith eventually made their way to Korriban, the ancient birthplace of the Sith race, and established secret training centers there. The Sith of this era were led by a singular Dark Lord who used the power of Sith magic to keep himself alive for more than a thousand years, overseeing the reconstruction of the Sith Empire. This Dark Lord named himself the Sith Emperor, and formed the Dark Council to help him oversee the preparations for an eventual attack on the Galactic Republic. The chance that the Sith had been waiting for occurred about 3,681 years before the Battle of Yavin, while the Republic was trying to rebuilt itself in the wake of the Kanz Disorders and the Mandalorian Wars.

True Victory Party
This political faction rose to power on Bothwaui, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The True Victory Party was born out of Bothan frustration with the actions of the Galactic Alliance, especially after the formation of the Galactic Alliance Guard. Many Bothans advocated that their homeworld secede from the Galactic Alliance, although Bothawui's government remained allied with the Alliance. These dissenting Bothans formed the True Victory Party to gain a voice in their government.

Led by Reh'mwa, the True Victory Party quickly gather support, and soon came under verbal attack from Jacen Solo. It was Jacen Solo who alleged that Reh'mwa ordered an attack on the World Brain that lived deep within the planet Coruscant, after he was attacked by Alema Rar in the Well of the World Brain. The situation only got worse when a delegation of Bothans from the True Victory Party were found murdered, the same night that Tresina Lobi was brutally killed in Fellowship Plaza. It was later revealed that the Bothans had been assassinated by Alema Rar, as part of Lumiya's plans to secure Jacen Solo's place in the new Sith order.

The murders of the True Victory Party members served to spur the Bothans to action against the Galactic Alliance. In secret, they established three separate fleets of warships, which were to launch surprise attacks on key GA locations. Although the Bothans were unable to achieve their original missions, the planet of Bothawui soon broke away from Alliance and joined The Confederation. (LF3, LF4, LF6)

True Way
This was the term used by the Yuuzhan Vong to describe the pathway they believed led an individual to the True Gods. Among the steps on the True Way were the embrace and acceptance of pain, and many Yuuzhan Vong ritually scarred or disfigured themselves in order to prove their devotion to the True Way. (T)

When their ship arrived at Kynachi, it was ambushed by Separatist forces, and the crew was forced to abandon their cruiser. Trueblood was one of the clone troopers who got into an escape pod with Master Ambase, although the pod's location was lost in the chaos. Their pod crashed into the surface of Kynachi, and although the clones were largely unharmed, Master Ambase was knocked unconscious and had to be carrier to their rendezvous point. Unfortunately, Master Ambase and the clones were located by a Separatist patrol. The clones were taken to the prison facility deep within the KynachTech factory, and were later rescued by the members of the newly-named Breakout Squad. (SM1)

This small creature was considered a delicacy by many of the galaxy's more discerning species, such as the Hutts. (MA)

Trugbuz
This was a common name among the Elom race. (UANT)

Trugut
This was a Huttese unit of money, and was in prominent use in the Outer Rim Territories during the last decades of the Old Republic. One trugut was equal to about 10 standard credits. Note that in the screenplay for Star Wars:Episode I - The Phantom Menace, this unit was referred to as wupiupi. (E1, E1N, SOT)

Truishii
This space-faring race was known for its large trade caravans. (SWJ9)

Truishii Trade Guild
This guild was renowned for its respectable business practices. The Truishii guild manages business on all of the Truishii colony worlds. (SWJ9)

Trulalis
The primary planet in the Trulalis System, Trulalis was also the least prosperous. It was removed from the worlds of Issor and Cadezia by distance, and was regarded as low-tech by the Issori. The Issori banned middle- and high-technology from the planet, and the natives have more or less accepted the roles of farmers and workers. It was covered with rich, green forests, wide grasslands, and oceans. Although the native Issori have kept the planet low-tech, many remember its thriving days as a fine liberal arts education center during the Old Republic. The average day on Trulalis lasted 23 standard hours, while its year lasted 310 local days. (SWJ4, TFE, SWJ8)

Trulalis Stage Company
This was one of the most prestigious acting guilds on the Outer Rim, boasting the likes of Adalric Brandl and his son, Jaalib, among their members. However, after the fall of the Old Republic and when Trulalis was relegated to low-tech status by the Issori, the company was disbanded. (SWJ8)

Trunk Ripper
This large, arboreal mammal inhabited several backwater worlds. They have a prehensile tail that allowed them to move through the branches in search of bugs. They had heavy claws on their forefeet, which they used to tear the bark from trees which were infested by insects. The ripper's long snout enabled it to reach bugs that burrowed deep into the wood of the tree. Although they resembled large birds and could travel from branch to branch in short jumps, their forelegs were incapable of launching them into flight. (IA)

Trunkflute
A Kubazi musical instrument. (WG)

Trunsk
This large, humanoid race of beings was known for their fighting ability and short tempers. Native to the planet Trunska, the Trunsks adapted to life on the cold, thin-atmosphered planet by evolving cave-like nostrils and large ears. Their ancestors were clawed predators, but the Trunsks eventually developed sentience and began using their hands to form and use tools. Their early civilization was based on military strength and power, until Tyl the Deplorable used his military genius to turn his army into a police force and conquered their homeworld. This stopped the intense wars which raged between the clans, freeing up a great amount of funds with which they began developin technology. Trunsks soon developed their own hyperdrive, but their ability to travel the galaxy was cut short when Emperor Palpatine instituted the New Order. Declared a slave species, the Trusnks were the made the centerpieces of many intergalactic circuses and gladiator fighting rings, despite the fact that they were intelligent and independent. Trunsks were covered with short, stiff fur, and two tusks protrude from their lower jaws. Like Wookiees, Trunsks have retractable claws on their hands and feet. (SWJ3, TFE, SWJ13)

Trunska
This rocky world was located in the Colonies region, and was the homeworld of the Trunsk race. It was a cool world with a thin atmosphere. (SWJ13)

Truth For Cularin
This documentary-producing group rose to public prominence in the Cularin System, during the last years of the Old Republic. Their documentaries described the troubles that had been experienced by the Cularin System over the years, and offered commentary and often wild speculation on why certain events occurred and what might have been done about them. Many beings within the Cularin System soon began to question TFC's motives, for their documentaries often served to stir up more trouble than the problems they depicted. One of their first documentaries on the Believers, a piece that openly questioned how a group of Sith devotees could have established a base on Almas without the Jedi noticing. The documentary went on to speculate that the Believers were actually the outcasts from the Jedi Academy on Almas, and that they were funded by Senator Lavira Wren to cause trouble in the Cularin System, in order to gain additional support and funding from the Galactic Senate. (LFCW)

Truth Officers
This was a more common name for the Inquisitorius. (NECH)

Truth, The
see True Way (SWI64)

Truth's Light
This small vessel was traveling through the Vergesso Asteroids when it came upon a derelict ship. The crew found the other vessel had been involved in a firefight, and much of its hull had been severely damaged. Their investigation was nearly complete when a swarm of scree attacked the Truth's Light. The captain barely made it into hyperspace, forcing any scree that were still on the hull to fall off. However, upon re-entering realspace, the crew discovered that the scree had done incredible amounts of damage to the Truth's Light, and that they were lucky to have survived the encounter. The tale of the Truth's Light marked one of the few times a ship had managed to escape from an attack by a swarm of scree. (UA)

Truthscan
see Truth-scan (CN2)

Truth-scan
This was a generic term used to describe any technique of scanning an individual's bodily status, actions, and words to determine whether or not they were telling the truth about a given situation. Truth-scans could be as simple as a polygraphic exam, or as intense as a drug-induced interrogation. During the early years of the Galactic Empire, Emperor Palpatine employed truth-scan agents to interrogate any being who was suspected of acting against the Empire. The Jedi Knights also had a form of truth-scan, in which a Jedi used the Force to delve into another being's mind. However, this technique was potentially dangerous, as too strong a probe could damage or destroy the being's mind. (DSTR, CN2, CN3)

Truth-sense
This was a technique that was cultivated by the Jedi Order, which allowed an individual to tap into the Force in order to determine if another being was telling the truth. In general, a trained Jedi could quickly assess whether another individual was being truthful or not, but the technique did have its limitations. For instance, if a being under investigation truly believed what they were saying was the truth, and they knew of no other knowledge that could contradict it, the Jedi that was using the truth-sense would often come to the conclusion that the being was telling the truth. (FJ3)

Truuine
This world, the only planet in the Truuine System, was used as a training site by the ancient Jedi Master Mroon Jassa, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (TOJC)

Tryan Kajme
This YT-2400 freighter was owned and operated by Kaj Nedmak. Kaj and his partner, Celia Durasha, were forced to crashland the ship on Ord Mantell, after being intercepted by agents sent by Bwahl the Hutt to recover Kaj. The Tryan Kajme was destroyed in the crash. (SWJ14)

Tryast
This temperate world was the fifth planet in the Empress Teta System, and was orbited by a single moon. (PH)

Tryll, Augustus
This man, distinguished by his large, beak-like nose and well-oiled, black hair, proposed a deal with Obi-Wan Kenobi during the years following the Clone Wars. Perhaps best known for his dealings in slavery, political betrayals, and stolen property, Tryll was initially dismissed by Kenobi. When the luxury liner was attacked by the Merson Slavers, many of ths ship's passengers accused Tryll of being the source of the signal that indicated the ship's presence in the Merson Asteroid Belt. When Kenobi tried to assume Tryll was innocent until proven guilty, severl passengers remembered their earlier conversation, and argued that they were in the plot together. Before the crowd could attack themboth, Obi-Wan was able to discover that the signal's source was in a fermentation device. He disabled it with his lightsaber, and saved himself and Tryll from any harm. (MC24)

Tryna Chime
This small, arrowhead-shaped sheet of metal was fitted into a ring and used as a musical instrument. The Tryna chime was often the topmost piece of percussion used on a drumheller harp. (VD)

Trynic
This Devaronian tramp freighter captain had piercing red eyes, a trait which generally unnerves his associates. He was long considered one of the best tramp pilots in the Minos Cluster, because of his shrewd business sense and ability to quickly assess a situation's profit potential. He genuinely loves the solitude of space travel, even with the wanderlust most Devaronian males feel. His ship, the converted YT-1300 known as the Solar Flare, had been modified to accept much larger cargoes than a stock freighter. Trynic was known throughout the Cluster as "The Devil," a nod to his appearance as well as an acknowledgement of his business skills. (GG6)

Trynn, Jion
This Imperial Admiral was in command of the fleet which was dispatched to quell the rebellious uprisings on Gerrard V, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. At his command were the Star Destroyers Adjudicator and Relentless, which bombarded locations in and around the city of Harazod. Official reports issued by the Empire claimed that Admiral Trynn offered rebel leader Camon Udeon a chance to surrender, but Udeon shot the Imperial liaison and forced Trynn to act. (SWJ3, OWS)

The cell block from which Han Solo and Luke Skywaler claim they were transferring Chewbacca, when they try to rescue Princess Leia. This was another veiled reference to George Lucas' film, THX-1138. (E4N)

TS3519
Issued by Grand Admiral Thrawn during the search for Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo on Tatooine, some four years after the Battle of Endor, directive TS3519 prohibited the killing of any individual targetted for capture. The killing of an individual, whether accidental or not, would result in the loss of a week's liberty and a month's wages for the entire platoon. These fines were cumulative, in those situations where more than one individual was wanted for questioning. However, directive TS3519 also stated that, if the only way to stop the individual from escaping was to kill them, then they must be killed no matter what the consequences to the platoon. Should the targetted individual escape, the platoon would be denied liberty for one year, and forfeit all pay for the duration of their service. The individual trooper who allowed the target to escape would be tried and executed for crimes against the Empire. (TG)

Tsaelke
The graceful, long-necked cetaceans of Chad III's deep oceans. They were large beasts, measuring up to 12 meters in length and four meters in width, and were naturally spirited and curious. The natives of Chad have learned to use them as mounts, and can be seen riding tsaelke as they herd bildogs and proop. One unusual feature of these creatures was their hand-like flippers, which have a semi-opposable thumb that can be used to manipulate large objects. Individuals can be easily identified by their brown markings which were patterns of spots, stripes, and rings. Callista had them carved into the handle of her lightsaber, for her family used to migrate the with herds to support its ranch. (COJ, SWJ10)

Tsaisi
This snake-like creature was genetically created by the Yuuzhan Vong. Shorter and narrower than an amphistaff, the tsaisi was worn coiled around the arm as a sign of a Yuuzhan Vong's position within the military. The tsaisi was of the same species as the amphistaff, but was much more delicate and more difficult to wield in battle. That made its appearance very rare, and the wearer was a warrior of incredible skill in both battle and command. (DTO)

T'salak
This vicious beast was discovered in the jungles of the planet Cularin by the Tarasin, many generations before the onset of the Clone Wars. The beast seemed to have been spawned by the Dark Side of the Force, and appeared to have been created from pure hatred. In appearance, the t'salak seemed to be little more than a puddle of ooze that could move about with deceptive speed. It could shape its body into a variety of forms, which it used to attack its prey. In addition using its body, the t'salak could reach out with its mind and take control of a sentient being, driving the being into a wild rage. When injured, the t'salak was unable to maintain a more solid form, and reverted to a puddle-like state. Because its form was primarily liquid, a t'salak could be incapacitated if it was subjected to exceptionally cold temperatures. After several devastatingly unsuccessful attempts to capture the t'salak had failed, a group of Tarasin Mothers found a way to create a special urn that was imbued with the enegry of the Light Side of the Force. The t'salak was eventually captured and trapped in the urn, and the Tarsin Mothers erected a massive prison in which to store the urn. Only those who were attuned to Nature and the Light Side of the Force could enter the prison, thereby ensuring that the t'salak was never set free again. The prison was buried in lava and debris when Cloud Mountain erupted, further trapping the t'salak. However, shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars, the t'salak was set loose when the workers of CreedCon Construction inadvertently discovered its burial cave and freed it by accident. A group of freelance agents hired by CreedCon, working with Mother Morad'Ka and several members of the Jaraana irstat, were able to re-capture the t'salak. Any good feelings that might have stemmed from the capture were smashed when Raik Muun, posing as the Jedi Knight Nek Lawsirk, stole the t'salak from the Jaraana and traveled with it to Tilnes. There, the Dark Jedi forced a group of Culpharm scientists to create a second t'salak by splitting the original with lasers. After she was confronted by a group of freelance agents hired by the Almas Academy to locate Lawsirk, Muun fled into space with the original t'salak and its spawn. She then used the creatures to attack a peace conference aboard the cruise ship Luxury, but the freelance agents pursued her to the ship. They managed to defeat the t'salaks in battle, and returned their inert forms to Morad'Ka for imprisonment. (FOC1, FOC2, FOC3)

TS-Arach
This was the brand name of MerenData's pest control droid. The TS-Arach was spider-like in shape, with four long legs and a central body supporting a snake-like head. It was designed to operate in agricultural environments, killing the pests which could destroy crops. The TS-Arach was "armed" with pesticide sprayers, and had a number of lifeform sensors. It was also equipped with a database of insect and rodent lifeforms, in order to identify potential pests. Just prior to the Battle of Yavin, Arakyd Industries took several of the design cues from the TS-Arach when they revamped the BT-16 perimeter patrols droid. (FTD, NEGD)

Tser, Wolam
This man was a noted holo-documentarian who had chronicled the entire political lifecycle of the New Republic. He had collected information dating from the birth of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, and his political acumen was rivaled only by his ability to capture important events on film. During the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Tser produced the popular holodocumentary, The Battle of Borleias, which showed the valiant and heroic efforts of Wedge Antilles and the forces which defended Borleias in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. He remained a part of the media sceneon Coruscant for years to come, and covered the trial of Luke Skywalker and the subsequent legal actions that were taken by the Galactic Alliance against the new Jedi Order.

Tshindral III
This airless, lifeless planetoid was known as the location of Gateway Space Station. Tshidral III had a day which lasted 25 standard hours, and its year took up 300 local days. What little atmosphere the planetoid did retain was laden with toxins and corrosive elements which could erode the hull of a small freighter in less than a local day. No one was sure what sort of holocaust destroyed the planet, although there was no end to speculation among the patrons of the Falling Star Saloon. (WSV)

T'shkali, Lusubrin
This Nagai warrior was known as Brin, although little else was known about him. He first appeared on an amateur night at The Broken Tusk, where he signed up to fight in the Dool Arena. He quickly demonstrated a style of fighting unseen in that part of the galaxy, employing straight-forward tactics that overcame the underhanded strategies of his opponents. A handsome figure with silver sigils tattooed on his neck and a royal violet crest tattooed around his left eye, Brin became a favorite with female patrons. (WSV)

Tsi
This was the native language of the Mrlssti. (PGT)

Tsian
This woman was a princess from the planet Old Mankoo, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Like most of the royalty from the planet, Princess Tsian struggled to maintain her wealthy lifestyle in the wake of a devastating economic disaster. When her family's claim to the throne was overthrown, she decided to enhance her standing by becoming an assassin for hire. The Senate Guard linked Princess Tsian to the death of Senator Jheramahd Greyshade when a Psicom 126 droid interface was discovered inside the verbobrain of Senator Greyshade's THX-series servant droid. Only one cybernetic interface was purchased with the Psicom unit, and it was registered to Princess Tsian. Her role in Greyshade's death was revealed when she was dispatched to eliminate his successor, his own cousin Simon Greyshade. She pretended to have romantic feelings for Simon, then lured him out onto a balcony. Tsian then called for her assassin droids to attack them. Only the quick intervention of Sagoro Autem and Isaru Omin, who subdued Princess Tsian and broke her link to the droids, saved Greyshade's life. It was later revealed that she had been hired by Venco Autem to eliminate Greyshade, and that she was the assassin who killed Jheramahd as well. Venco arranged to have Tsian released from prison, in return for her commitment to help him eliminate Greyshade. The feint nearly worked, but the detective work of the Jedi Knights and the Senate Guard revealed the plans before they could come to fruition. Princess Tsian was again imprisoned and held for questioning. (RHD)

Tsii dau poonsi
This Yuuzhan Vong command translated into Basic as, "the mouth, cause it to close." It was used to close the access ramp to a Yuuzhan Vong starship. (EVC)

Tsik Vai
This was the name given to the small, skyhopper-like ground vehicles which were created by the Yuuzhan Vong. Like all Yuuzhan Vong vehicles, the tsik vai were grown, rather than built. Each tsik vai was equipped with a collection of whiplike tentacles that were used to capture a target or prey. In shape, the tsik vai resembled a huge seabird or flat searay, with dovin basals studding its body to give it life and propulsion. The neck sac of a tsik vai could be distended to reveal bright red flesh, and was used to signal other craft in the vicinity. The wings of this craft were flexible, and it "breathed" through a set of gills on its flanks, which whistled as it moved through the air. The average length of these vessels was about nine meters, and they required a pilot to operate. (EVC, UF, NJOSB)

Tsil
This was the word used to describe the crystalline rock formations found on the planet Nam Chorios. Those tsil formed from Spook crystals were acutally sentient spires of rock. The tsils were the source of Force-sensitivity among the settlers on the planet, but their ability to channel electricity earned them the notice of Loronar Corporation. Loronar harvested tsil crystals for use in their Centrally Controlled Independent Replicant (CCIR) technology. When it was discovered that the tsils were actually sentient, Loronar was severely reprimanded by the New Republic, and those CCIR devices which were already in use had to be recovered in order for the tsils to be replaced with inorganic crystals. (POT, EGA)

Tsillin
This was a common name among Quarren females. It meant "sad-eyed". (GCG)

Tsilor River
Located on the planet New Plympto, this river formed one of the boundaries of the city of Phemiss. (CCW)

Tsinimal
This alien race subjugated the planet of Langhesa nearly 100 years before the Battle of Naboo, enslaving the native Langhesi. The Tsinimals regarded the Langhesi skills in genetic manipulation to be an affront to their gods, and sought to wipe them out. Many xenoarchaeologists note that mass-murder and galactic conquest did not bother the gods. (RP)

Tsi-Sen
see Thi-Sen (OWS)

Tsmeu-6
This personal wheel bike was produced by the Z-Gomot Ternbuell Guppat Corporation during the final years of the Old Republic. Measuring 2.5 meters in diameter, the Tsmeu-6 was originally designed as a military vehicle, and was known as the preferred ground vehicle of General Grievous during the Clone Wars. The central ring of the bike was padded for the comfort of the rider, and housed a pair of frictionless, magnetic rails that supported two massive chains that propelled the outer drive rings. These outer rings were studded with large claws that could dig into the rockiest of terrain for traction and stability, or could fold inward to allow the wheel bike to approach speeds of 330 kilometers per hour. The rider sat just outside of the rings, so that they had a clear view of the road. Opposite the rider was the main weapons emplacement, which could accommodate a double laser cannon. At the bottom of the vehicle were a pair of running boards that folded up when the vehicle was in motion. When stopped, or when necessary to move over rough terrain, each running board folded down to expose two clawed legs. These legs held the wheel bike upright when parked, or could be used to move the wheel bike over obstacles. With these legs extended, the Tsmeu-6 stood nearly four meters tall. (X3, SWDB)

Tsoss Beacon
An abandoned space station located in the Deep Core, the station was built by droids and suicide teams on a barren planetoid. The station was created as an automated beacon for ships moving through the Core. The station fell into disrepair around the time of the Battle of Yavin, and was abandoned. It was here that Admiral Daala convened a meeting of the surviving Imperial warlords following the destruction of the Eye of Palpatine. (DS, PH)

Born on the planet Trandosha, Tsserk was trained as a warrior, until an accident forced him into exile. During a drunken brawl, he killed his best friend, and left his homeworld in disgrace. He eventually found his way to Coruscant, where he was hired as a bouncer by Rava Teb'lya. When the Rose Nebula was opened, Tsserk was on the staff of security forces, and eventually became Teb'lya's personal bodyguard. Although short for a Trandoshan, Tsserk made up for it in strength and willpower, and his loyalty to Teb'lya was unshakable. He was distinguished by his glossy, bright green scales, and he always wore a chest plate that was emblazoned with the logo of the Rose Nebula. (UA)

Tssolok
see T'ssolok (SWGAL)

T'ssolok
This intense, Twi'leki liquor was bottled in a sculpted decanter. Thaddeus Ross often drank a bottle of this liquor whenever he felt that hislife couldn't get any worse.

Tsukkian Water Freighter
This kind of starship was designed to carry huge cargoes of water to desert planets and other water-starved worlds, for purposes of terra-forming and in times of drought. During the height of the New Order, these ships were considered clunky and out-of-date, but nonetheless found usage among mercenary and pirate fleets because of their durability. (SWCP)

Tsumo
This long-faced, alien being was captured by Boba Fett, during the height of the New Order. Distinguished by the tube-like nose that dominated his face, Tsumo was briefly freed from captivity aboard the Slave I when Fett discovered the Mingula floating adrift in space. Fett chose Tsumo to assist with the investigation of the derelict ship because his bounty did not stipulate that Tsumo be returned alive. When they discovered that the Zylurian crew had been killed by strange insects, Tsumo tried to flee. Fett shot him in the shoulder to keep him nearby, and Tsumo fell onto one of the Zylurian bodies. The insects burst from the body and attacked Tsumo, swiftly burrowing into his flesh and consuming him from the inside. Tsumo died swiftly, and his body was destroyed when the Mingula exploded. (BFS)

Tsun, Fazak
This Yuuzhan Vong was relegated to the caste of the Shamed Ones, after Ch'Gang Hool's Escalation of the warrior failed. Yoog Skell later blamed Ch'Gang Hool's incompetence - not the disfavor of the True Gods - for Fazak Tsun's fall. (DW)

Tsun, Sla
This Yuuzhan Vong warrior served as a commander under Warmaster Nas Choka, during the battle to retain control of the planet Coruscant, which had been reformed into a new version of Yuuzhan'tar. Commander Sla Tsun was part of the main task force Nas Choka had ordered to attack Zonama Sekot, after the living planet had suddenly appeared in orbit between Coruscant and Muscave. (UF)

Tsup, Nen
This was the name used by Kae Kwaad to describe the Shaper Adept, Nen Yim, during their time working together aboard the Baanu Miir. The word "tsup" was an older Yuuzhan Vong term for a slave which served its master in unseemly ways. (EVR)

Tsur, Icanis
This Mugaari pirate leader led his band of criminals through the Javin and Anoat Sectors during the early years of the New Order. His ship, the 80-Vag, became lost in the Hoth Belt, stranding Tsur and his thirty-being crew until their starved to death. The ship's remains provided a wealth of salvage for many Squib teams, until the Alliance arrived to establish Echo Base on Hoth. (WOA33)

T'surr
This desert planet, located in the Expansion Region, was a cold world that was continually swept by winds and storms. T'surr orbited at a large distance from its sun, so very little light and heat reached the planet. The native sentient species, also known as the T'surr, as well as other creatures found on the planet, evolved to survive in these harsh conditions. The planet's gravity was considered higher than normal, and many humanoid races considered the gravity too oppressive. (WOTC, UANT)

T'surr
Little was known about this alien race, which was native to the planet T'surr in the Expansion Region. Violent and ruthless, the T'surr were large beings with blue, marble-like skin and a heavily-muscled, humanoid frame. A number of horns crowned their heads, and large ears gave them excellent hearing. Four red eyes sat above a wide mouth which was filled with razor-sharp teeth. As a race, the T'surr considered any species weaker than they were to be merely chattel, and had no qualms about enslaving "lesser species". The male T'surr ruled their homeworld, and often traveled away from T'surr as slavers and pirates. Females were almost never seen, and the males often describe them as small and feeble. From each of the T'surr's elbows there were two forearms: a heavily-muscled primary arm and a thin, clawed secondary arm. Like most creatures that evolved on T'surr, the average T'surr had excellent vision in low-light conditions. (WOTC, UANT)

T'surrese
This was the native language of the T'surr race. (WOTC, UANT)

T'surri Brothers
This band of brothers forged a small spice-running organization on the planet Telerath, during the final years of the Old Republic. Although they were smaller in stature that Demanna's gang of slavers, the T'surri Brothers were considered more dangerous, because they acted without and form of organization. (DT3)

Tsyk
This planet was the homeworld of the Tsyklen race. (THG)

Tsyklen
This round, hairless race was native to the planet Tsyk. They have large eyes, pale skin and slender features. Each hand was studded with seven fingers and two opposable thumbs. (THG)

Tsyr
This Kajain'sa'Nikto and his son, Bok, were two of the last members of the Morgukai Warriors. Tsyr himself was the former comrade of Ma'kis'shaalas, who abandoned the Morgukai to become a Jedi Knight. It was Ma'kis'shaalas who scarred much of Tsyr's face, during a duel in which both Nikto fought hard. Tsyr ultimately lost his footing in the Skulljaw Grottoes and fell, but was spared by Ma'kis'shaalas. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, they were mercenaries who used cortosis-based armor and weapons to fight against the Jedi Knights. They were hired by Ro Fenn, with the assistance of Vilmahr Grahrk, to kidnap Nat Secura in an effort to force Lon Secura into keeping Ro Fenn alive. The Nikto were also under the employ of Kh'aris Fenn, who was working to overturn his father's leadership and take control of Ryloth. As the more experienced warrior of the pair, Tsyr was continually having to overcome Bok's impulsive behaviors to realize their goals. They returned to Kintan with their captives, in an effort to draw the Jedi Knights searching for Nat Secura and Master Tholme away from Ryloth. Tsyr refused to help his son when Bok was trapped on the Fire River, after Bok's impulsive behavior allowed Aayla Secura and Quinlan Vos to escape. He was surprised, as well as proud, when Bok survived the lava and returned to his side. When the two Morgukai cornered the Jedi inside Fortress Kh'aris, Tsyr was beheaded in combat with Quinlan Vos. (ROP, WOTC, GORW)

T'Syriel
This humanoid race, native to the planet Shiva IV, was distinguished by its slightly canine appearance. From each temple on their skulls, a think ridge of bone extended backward to the base of their neck. There were twelve distinct tribes of T'Syriel found on the planet, all led by an individual known as the Demarch. The skin of a T'Syriel was a deep golden color, which set them apart from their dark-skinned human counterparts. There were twelve distinct tribes of T'Syriel, and for many generations they existed separately. However, as struggles between human and T'Syriel became more heated, they united to form the Twelve Tribes.

When the Empire discovered the planet Shiva IV, General Sk'ar was sent to subjugate the planet and conscript its natives into military service. General Sk'ar managed to gather a group of T'Syriel warriors to serve as his personal guard, outfitting them in modified stormtrooper armor to give them an even more fearsome appearance. (MC53, OWS)

TT13
This was an upgraded version of the TT8 blaster weapon that was produced by Incom Industries, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

TT-32
This droid was among the many automatons owned by Tien Tubb, in his workshop on Nar Shaddaa, during the years following the Jedi Civil War. It was the thirty-second droid in its series, a fact that the droid was very proud of. When The Exile arrived on Nar Shaddaa to investigate the possibility that Jedi Master Zez-Kai Ell was on the moon, TT-32 paid him to recover IT-31 from Kodin, in order to preserve the shield technology plans stored in its memory banks. (KOTOR2)

TT-4
This model of electrobinoculars was manufactured by Neuro-Saav, and contained an internal holographic recording system. This allowed the TT-4 to record and play back up to three hours' worth of images. These electrobinoculars were introduced during the last years of the Old Republic, and became valuable pieces of technology to the scouts who supported the Grand Army of the Republic. (EGW, JT)

TT4 Macrobinoculars
Designed and manufactured by NeuroSaav, this model of holorecording macrobinoculars served two purposes. First, it was a standard pair of macrobinoculars. Second, it was capable of recording what the users was viewing. Most early models, produced during the early years of the New Republic, were very expensive. (EGW)

TT-40
This library droid was produced by TelBrinTel for use in retrieiving information. It was given little data storage capacity, being designed to provide information on a by-request basis. The TT-40 was equipped with a wide, repulsorengine base that supported a switchboard assembly. The TT-40 used a TelBrinTel proprietary interface, and stored incoming data on a trio of data wheels which spun as the droid worked. Early in their production, TT-40 droids were prohibitively expensice, but were often subsidized by governmental programs to further education. (EGD)

TT-40
This TelBrinTel library droid was installed as the recorder of assignments and transactions for the Supervisor's Committee on the city of Griann, on Teyr. TT-40 was an officious, ill-tempered droid. (SOL, EGD)

TT-6
This was the designation of the Trade Federation's MTT-based command center, during the occupation of the planet Naboo. Unlike other MTTs, TT-6 had a droid pilot permanently installed. Most of the droid commanders were transported in TT-6 while on Naboo. (CCG15)

TT8
This was a mid-level, starship blaster weapon that was produced by Incom Industries, during the early years of the New Order. (SWG2P)

TT8L
see TT-8L (GQRG)

TT-8L Gatekeeper Droid
Known as the Tattletale droid, this droid was originally produced by Serv-O-Droid more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin as a vestibule monitor for the rich and reclusive beings of the galaxy. The TT-8L's single, round eye was attached to a segmented arm that could extend or retract from it’s the main body, and could flex into a number of configurations to get the best view possible. TT-8L droids were originally designed to greet those beings who visited their wealthy owners, communicating with new arrivals and then alerting the owner that someone had come to see them. Over time, these droids were used as doorway snoops, after Serv-O-Droid introduced a variation that could be installed in a doorway. The partially-hidden TT-8L could listen in on conversations that were held while beings were awaiting entry to a specific location, and this information would later be relayed to the owner. Despite the fact that Popular Automaton once called the TT-8L "the most annoying droid ever produced," Serv-O-Droid produced a number of variations, including the elaborately decorated TT-8L/XSS and the more confrontational TT-8L/Y7. (POT, EGD, NEGD)

TT-8L/XSS
This variant on the TT-8L droid was produced by Serv-O-Droid many centuried before the onset of the Clone Wars. The snake-like body of the TT-8L/XSS was machined from antiqued brass. Unlike the standard TT-8L, the XSS model was designed to be an ornate observation device. Its brass finish was inlaid with silver adronments and intricate scrollwork, and its like body was mounted on a heavy post which was bolted to the floor. Its range of motion came from a variety of joints that allowed the TT-8L/XSS to move in all three dimensions. Despite the age of the TT-8L/XSS series, it was believed that Emperor Palpatine used a number of XSS models in his residences, to monitor who came to visit. (EGD, NEGD)

TT-8L/Y7
This version of Serv-O-Droid's TT-8L droid was the least expensive of its variants. It lack the segmented body that was common on most other TT-8L variants, having been designed to be mounted directly in a door frame or alcove. The body of the TT-8L/Y7 was essentially just the observation eye attached to a single-jointed arm, and that main unit itself was given scanning capabilities. The TT-8L/Y7 was also programmed to be more confrontational that its more gentrified cousins, making the droid overly aggressive in monitoring its location. Because of these characteristics, the TT-8L/Y7 was marketted to the more paranoid members of galactic society, including crimelords and black marketeers, who wanted to know who was calling as well as whether or not they were armed. Jabba the Hutt had a TT-8L/Y7 model installed at this palace on Tatooine. (EGD, NEGD)

TT8L-Y7
see TT-8L/Y7 (GQRG)

TT-9
This Trade Federation MTT was key to the Federation's invasion of the planet Naboo, for it was used to deploy additional STAPs into an arena whenever reinforcements were called for. (CCG15)

T'teknulp
This Chadra-Fan was one of the many Jedi Knights who were pressed into military service when the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy. A being who always seemed jovial, even in the heat of battle, T'teknulp and Obi-Wan Kenobi were dispatched to Farquar III to destroy a Separatist droid factory that had been constructed on the planet, during the height of the conflict. Kenobi's forces led the attack, with T'teknulp and his clone troopers serving as reinforcements. However, before they could reach the planet's surface, T'teknulp's forced were intercepted in orbit and shot down. Their transport ship was destroyed, and T'teknulp and all his clones were killed in the explosion. (LLOW)

TTS-15
Manufactured by Industrial Automaton, this droid was designed to teach a variety of skills. Marketed as an education and tutorial droid, the TTS-15 could instruct an organic being in subjects ranging from advanced mathematics to galactic history. Initially, the TTS-15 series was only available through a lease program, making them accessible only to the wealthier beings in the galaxy. During the height of the New Order, a lower-priced version of the TTS-15 was produced for mass-market sales. (FTD)

TTT-54
This was one of SoroSuub's first military contributions to the Alliance to Restore the Republic, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The TTT-54, known as a Thumper, was a grenade launcher that required a great deal of effort to move into position. Unlike weapons like the Merr-Sonn MobileMortar-3, the TTT-54 did not have a built-oin repulsorlift engine. The TTT-54 made up for this by allowing a wide variety of projectiles to be fired, depending on how the weapon was programmed. (AEG)

Ttul'Thar
A Kian'thar businessbeing who worked as a mediator for MadisCorp. (GG12)

T-type Starship
This was another name for the Aramadia-class thrustship. (TT)

Tu
This was a common component used to create the names given to Cerean males. In general, male Cereans given an individual name, which was added to the names of their father and grandfather.

Tu
This Ewokese article translated into Basic as "the." (GPB)

Tu, Suribran
This Ishi Tib was the leader of his homeworld, Tibrin, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. He was loyal to the Old Republic, and struggled to keep his planet a member of the Republic despite popular sentiment to join the Separatists. He used strong-arm tactics, and even political assassinations, to maintain his position and the power he wielded, a fact that the Separatist underground on Tibrin used to their advantage. When Count Dooku arrived to negotiate with Suribran Tu for the rights to use Tibrin as a base for Separatist activites, Suribran Tu seemed to be open to any suggestion the Count had. Dooku, however, was not interested in platitudes. He consulted his bodyguards, among them the turncoat Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos. Quinlan reminded the Count that Suribran Tu was just as corrupt as the Old Republic, and was not worth the effort of negotiation. Dooku agreed, and used his lightsaber to behead Suribran Tu in one smooth stroke. Dooku then installed Sora Bulq as the provisional governor. Suribran Tu's death at the hands of the Separatists was welcomed by the Ishi Tib populace, who eagerly joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems. (J4)

TU-5
This astromech droid was a constant companion to Suz Tanwa during the height of the New Order. In addition to navigation duties, TU-5 was also a scientific analysis droid, capable of dating ancient objects and recalling information on a variety of ancient civilizations. (PH)

Tu'ala
This young girl was Jedi Master Zuth's Padawan, during the years surrounding the Battle of Geonosis. She failed to grasp the need for a single Jedi to sacrifice themselves for the greater good, reasoning that all beings were equal in the Force. Master Zuth cautioned her that she was forgetting that each being had their own destiny, along with their physical form. When an assassination attempt was made on several galactic Senators on Coruscant, Master Zuth and Tu'ala were the only Jedi on the scene. Master Zuth was killed, but not before he revealed to Tu'ala that there was a third thing that made beings unique in the Force: one's love for other beings. Tu'ala realized that she did love Zuth, and her knowledge of the Force deepened. (T14)

Tualin
This was one of the many Twi'leki clans which were native to the planet Ryloth. In the Twi'leki language, the clan's name meant "royal" or "noble". (GCG)

Tualin, Nuro
This Twi'lek male served as Polearm Two, of the New Republic's Polearm Squadron, during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. During a short leave from the Squadron, Tualin was captured and brainwashed by agents of Zsinj working on Projects Minefield and Funeral, and programming was implanted into his brain which compelled him to destroy something. That something would be named within a key phrase that would trigger the programming. Just before the Republic responded to the distress call at Jussafet Four, the cook Galey activated Tualin's programming with a short phrase. Tualin was compelled to do everything in his power to destroy the Mon Remonda. He nearly succeeded, blowing a huge hole in the command bridge and killing a number of crewmen. Tualin was killed in combat by Tyria Sarkin. (SOC)

Tu'ana City
This was one of the larger cities on the planet Terephon. It was the site of a major spaceport during the years following the Swarm War. (LF5)

Tuareg
Native to the planet Kadril, this unusual reptile was domesticated and used as a mount by the Nociv. The average tuareg stood nearly two meters tall. Tuaregs stood on four legs, with their muscular hind legs and thin forelegs, with a thick tail serving to counterbalance the beast's body. The upper torso and head of the tuareg was equine in form. (LAT3)

Tub
This young Lurmen scout was charged with ensuring that Anakin Skywalker, Aayla Secura, Ahsoka Tano, and their clone troops were able to sneak past the Separatist army that invaded Maridun, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Wag Too asked Tub for help, since Tee Watt Kaa refused to aid the Jedi in any way. While tracking the Jedi, Tub witnessed the test-firing of the defoliator capsule, and sent his pet carrier butterfly to warn the Lurmen village. Upon returning to the village, Tub joined Wag Too in taking up their farming tools to fight back against the Separatist battle droids, rendering them immobile until the Jedi could destroy them. (CWTV14)

Tubal Iron
A raw form of extruded iron, tubal iron was produced in long cylinders. (VP)

Tubal Park
This was the name of a wondrous, overhead garden located in the capital city of Rian, on the planet Frego. All of the garden's plantlife was maintained in large, transparent tubes, which were suspended above the ground so that people could view the plants from all aspects. Small creatures, essential to the lifecycles of the plants, were also kept in the tubes. Certain parts of the park were open to visitors, who could meander through the transparent enclosure as if floating in air. (TOW)

Tubb, Tien
This Sullustan worked as a mechanic on Nar Shaddaa, during the years following the Jedi Civil War. (KOTOR2)

Tube Droid
This was the name used by Jax Pavan to describe one of the many feral droids he encountered in the Factory District of Coruscant, several months after the end of the Clone Wars. The tube droid was a heavily-modified BXL-99 labor droid that had several plasticene tubes connected to its upper body. Fluids of different colors and viscosities surged through the tubes. Pavan was able to shoot the tube droid to force it to stop, then plunged his lightsaber into its cengtral processing unit, paralyzing the tube droid. (CN1)

Tube Hog
This was a term used by bongo racers on the planet Naboo, which described any racer who purposely blocked other racers from passing them, especially in the racing tubes that formed the starting and finishing areas of a racecourse. (GMR4)

At the end of the syntherope was an expanding hook which produced three heavy-duty tines. A pop-up sight provided assistance in targetting, and a miniature winch provided lift. (OE)

Tuber
This was the nickname given to an ancient Dantari encountered by Anakin Solo when he accompanied Mara Jade Skywalker to Dantooine. Tuber often traded vincha roots to Anakin for other goods, as the old Dantari realized Mara was not feeling well. Tuber later helped Anakin escape from a Yuuzhan Vong warrior, before Anakin told him to take his tribe and flee from the invaders. (DTO)

Tuber Mash
This was a simple side dish that was made from mashing or blending the flesh of root vegetables into a homogeneous mass. (FJ1)

Tubrimi
This Mon Calamari male served as a Lieutenant in the naval forces of the New Republic, during the months following the Battle of Endor. Lieutenant Tubrimi was stationed aboard the Justice, serving as a sensor operator during the opening stage of the Republic's assault on Lord Shadowspawn's base on Mindor. Tubrimi had a great deal of faith in the abilities of the ship and its onboard systems, and openly questioned General Luke Skywalker when the man turned over tactial coordination of the attack to R2-D2. Skywalker chose not to chastise the young Mon Calamari, but instead welcomed his criticism of any plan of action, since Skywalker himself was serving on his first leadership mission as the leader of the Rapid Response Task Force. Tubrimi suffered a broken shoulder when the Justice was hit by gravity mines and torn apart, then crash-landed on Mindor's surface. However, he was among the many survivors who were quickly captured by the Melters and taken to an underground crypt. Tubrimi was still alive, however, and was later rescued when Han Solo and Leia Organa discovered the crypt. Tubrimi worked with a Mindorese rebel named Tripp to organize the rescue of others who had survived in the crypt, during the evacuation of Shadow Base. (LSSM)

Tuchap
This jovial Farghul worked as a booker and infochant on the planet Coruscant during the last decades of the Old Republic.An overweight individual with several allergies, Tachup had led the life of a being who was continually being let down by his associates.

Tuff1 Jumpsuit
This close-fitting, single-piece combat suit resembled a standard flight suit, except that it was dark green instead of orange. The elbows and knees were well-padded, and trauma padding protected the chest, back, and limbs. It was manufactured by Ayelixe/Krongbing Textiles during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (DTO, ROE, AEG)

Tuffweave
This strong, durable material was used to cover the floor of a shockboxing arena. The arena, known as a wedge, was given a special flooring system that allowed a shockboxer to hit the floor and bounce slightly, preventing a more serious injury in case of a knockdown. The Tuffweave covering provided traction for the shockboxers, and stood up to continued scuffing and scraping. (OWS)

TUFTie
This was a slang term used by the soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe any starships, vehicles, or supplies that were "taken up from trade" - in other with words, commandeered due to military needs - from independent merchant fleets. Many TUFTie starships were used like traffic interdiction vessels, lacking any obvious military insignia or markings that allowed them to land without drawing unwanted attention. (RCTC)

Tug
Any small starship that was designed to moved large containers and freighters around in deep space supply stations. Most tugs were about 5 meters in length, and resemble teardrops. Their maximum sublight speed was around 10 MGLT, but speed was not of the essence as much as maneuverability. These unshielded craft were equipped with two small repulsors slung underneath the craft's nose. These were used to nudge the larger cargo ships around. (TIE)

Tuggle
An otter-like creature native to the planet Toola, tuggles travel across the icy plains in huge packs. They have been domesticated by the Whiphids, which use them as sledge animals. They were small, measuring just a half-meter in height and up to two meters in length, but they have very powerful legs and thin bodies. (SWJ10, ROE)

Tugi, patisa
This alien phrase translated into Basic as "Greetings, friend." (SWLB)

Tugnut

Tugrina, Malan
This man, a native of Alderaan, had left his homeworld well before it was destroyed by Governor Tarkin and the first Death Star. He had attached himself to Mon Mothma as an aide, when she first started to oppose the will of Emperor Palpatine. His tenure with her continued will into the early years of the New Republic, during which time he came to calling her the nickname Iwo, until he was forced to make the ultimate sacrifice for her. When Tolokai was brainwashed into being a agent for Warlord Zsinj, Malan was able to come between the Gotal's attack and Mon Mothma. Malan took the vibroblade meant for her in the chest, where it pierced a major artery. Malan managed to detain Tolokai long enough for Mon Mothma to call for security and escape. As Tolokai continued to advance, Malan managed one last effort and tackled the Gotal. They fell down a flight of stairs, and Tolokai's neck was broken in the fall. However, Malan's injuries were too severe, and he died from loss of blood. (SOC)

Tug'yc
This Mando'a word translated into Basic as "again." (OWS)

Tuhgri
This race was native to the planet Ehjenla. As a race, they believe in the existence of a Great Creator who provides them with everything they need to survive on their homeworld as well as in space. This belief had generated an unwritten law among the Tuhgri that states "no individual beign may own anything." Their native language if a dialect of Huttese. Tuhgri live in various tribes, led by a gaawan, who was elected to join the House of Balance. The Tuhgri were of medium height, and were completely hairless. Their reddish skin was wrinkled, and bony ridges cover their skulls to protect their crania. They were a thin, humanoid race with six fingers on each hand and a diamond-shaped nose with four nostrils. While they were not possesive, their belief in the Great Creator means that anything they happen to find was taken for the population, often without asking permission. (KO)

Tuhkuh

Tuhm, Cherek
This man served the Old Republic as an officer of the Ministry of Licenses and Permits during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He considered himself an ecxellent hand-to-hand fighter, having won the Ministry's own internal tournament eight years running before was assigned to the Intelligence agency, just after the Battle of Geonosis. For his first mission, Cherek was placed in command of the rescue of Edbit Teeks from the planet Tarhassan. Like most of the rest of the team, Cherek was a rookie, and relied more on his bureaucratic training than his gut instincts. Every step of the mission had to be completely planned out, and execution could not waver if they were to succeed. This grated on Joram Kithe and his partner, Mapper Gann, who had survived an earlier mission on Pengalan IV only through their quick thinking and ability to improvise. Tuhm became extremely flustered by Joram's initiative during the mission, especially when Joram and Mapper reworked the team's original plan in order to break Teeks out of prison. During the daring rescue, Tuhm took a blaster bolt in the chest and was badly wounded. He survived the injury, however, and received medical treatment during the team's return to Coruscant.

Tuk'ata
This species of vicious, canine creatures was native to the planet Korriban, making its home near the Valley of the Dark Lords. Over many millennia, the tuk'ata were twisted by the Dark Side of the Force, and became guardians of the Sith temples which were built on the planet. These beasts were huge, jet-black things with four sturdy legs, a pair of thin, insectile arms sprouting from atop their shoulders, and four claw-like tendrils emerging from their foreheads. The mouth of a tuk'ata was filled with three rows of teeth, and its head was protected by three horns. The arms of the tuk'ata were generally considered to be vestigial wings, and were tipped with poisonous stingers. The poison acted on contact, numbing any flesh it touched. When injected into a being's body, the poison shut down muscles and other vital systems, including the heart and lungs, leading to a swift and painful death. (EGP, JQ10, DBPD)

Tuketu, Esege
This Narvath male served as a K-Wing pilot serving the New Republic, some twelve years after the Battle of Endor. Known as Tuke to his comrades, he was part of the fighter pilot pools that was assigned to the Fifth Battle Group, and served as the leader of the Intrepid's Red Squadron of fighters. (BTS)

Tuknatan
This feline alien was one the denizens of the ancient cities of Cinnagar. (GAS)

Tuktee
This Togruta was among the eight million beings who were captured by Zygerrian slavers on their homeworld of Kiros and forced into slavery, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Like many of the other Togruta, Tuktee was sent to the Zygerrians' primary processing facility on Kadavo, where they were put to work mining ores and keeping the air-filtration systems running with their own strength. When Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Clone Captain Rex were imprisoned on Kadavo, after breaking up the Royal Slave Auction, Tuktee and the others were reluctant to accept their words, since everything they did to help the Togruta only made the Zygerrians angry. However, it was Kenobi's statement that Kiros had been cleared of Separatist control, and was ready for the Togruta to return, that gave Tuktee and the others something to live for. They started to be obedient to their slave masters, knowing that they might be rescued and have a chance to return to Kiros. Their rescue by the Republic came shortly afterward, although the slave keeper on Kadavo recognized the Republic's forces and threatened to drop all the slaves into the lava. Tuktee and another Togruta nearly fell to their deaths, but Tuktee managed to grab the other Togruta while hanging onto a ledge. They were rescued when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker arrived on the scene, and the Jedi used the Force to levitate the stranded Togruta to safety. (TCW1)

Tula, Quallung
This male Aqualish was a pirate of some renown during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He worked briefly with Meeko Ghintee before the Muttani was arrested, and later worked with Sabo Leeda, Grillo Zaman, Bado Karpa, and Tuba Acho to steal fuel cells from the Outland Transit Station during Ghintee's escape from Oovo IV. However, a bounty was placed on all their heads by Rozatta, and Quallung Tula was captured by Jango Fett shortly afterward. (BH)

Tulagn
This Rodian owned Tulagn's Starship Outfitters, on the planet Wroona. He was a shady character who was always looking for ways to get more money for his merchandise than it was actually worth. He was also know to smugglers and independent spacers as a fence who could move almost any form of stolen goods. He kept a collection of worthless trinkets in his exterior assortment of items, and a spacer had only to bring one to Tulagn to indicate they had an item to fence. Tulagn would claim that the trinket was his last specimen, but then would invite the spacer into the back room to view other pieces. (PSG, SWJ3)

Tulagn's Starship Outfitters
This small operation worked near the primary starport on the planet Wroona. It was owned by the Rodian Tulagn, and catered to the various needs of smugglers and independent spacers. The shop was also a front for Tulagn's real business, fencing stolen merchandise to the highest bidder. (PSG)

Tulah
This young Muun was a student at the Leadership School on Andara, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Distinguished by a shock of yellow hair which stuck straight up from his head, Tulah was a scholarship student who never fit in with the wealthier students at the School. His businesslike demeanor attracted him to Gillam Tarturi, who asked him to join his small band of mercenaries. His field of expertise was in military history, and he provided Gillam's group with a battle strategist. When Gillam's plan to fake his own death and blame it on his father was exposed by Anakin Skywalker and his Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Tulah, Gillam, and the entire team were expelled from the Leadership School and transported to Coruscant for questioning. (JQ5)

Tulak
This Advozse warlord was active some 200 years before the Battle of Naboo. He was infamous for sweeping onto undefended planets and taking control of them for himself. His activities were made known to the Jedi Knights of the day, and the Jedi Council dispatched Polvin Kut and his apprentice, Yaddle, to the planet Koba, where Tulak had recently taken control. Tulak knew of Polvin Kut, since he had killed Kut's parents years before. Tulak was able to defeat Polvin Kut in battlem beheading the human Jedi before capturing Yaddle. He interrogated Yaddle about the Jedi Council's intentions toward him, but she refused to break. In return, Tulak imprisoned her in an underground chamber. He sealed the chamber, and then set off toplunder more planets. He eventually died, and left everything - including the planets like Koba - to his son, Kalut. (T5)

Tuldok
This Recopian "family" owned the Tuldok Ranch. Although they were regarded by most people as traveling traders, the Tuldoks were actually pirates who plundered their way through the Colonies region of the galaxy. During the height of the New Order, they stayed in the Colonies region during the Imperial occupation of Recopia, but returned shortly befre the battle of Endor as privateers working for the Alliance. After the loose government of Recopia joined the New Republic, the Tuldok family assumed legitimate control of the Recopian govnerment. (CCW)

Tuldok, Gull
This man was one of the leaders of the Tuldok clan during the last years of the Old Republic, commanding one of the family's three main pirate fleets. Although Recopia was considered his home, Gull spent most of his life in space, ambushing ships in the Colonies region and returning only to restock his ships. When Emperor Palpatine and the Empire took control of the galaxy, Gull was called home to Recopia to protect the Tuldok Ranch. This duty was considered too boring for him, and he found an outlet in gambling. (CCW)

Tuldok Ranch
This small, rocky plateau was located on the planet Recopia. Like many other such plateaus, the Tuldok Ranch was essentially a city-state unto itself. Owned by the Tuldok family, the Ranch served as their base of operations. (CCW)

Tulgah
This rare species of troll-like, simian-faced creatures was known to have evolved a separate subspecies that inhabited the Forest Moon of Endor, as records from the planet Eriadu indicated that they were from another homeworld. The Tulgahs of Endor were believed to have arrived on the colony ship Free Enterprise, which was lost some 130 years before the Battle of Yavin, and evolved to have a certain mastery over a form of magic. Some of them used this magic for good, especially the healers. Others, such as Morag, used the magic for evil. (ECAR, OWS)

Tulimus
This man was a Captain in the Imperial Navy, and was in command of the Star Destroyer Havoc during the assault on Edan II. He hoped to ensure an Imperial victory over the Alliance at Edan II by planting an agent within the base's personnel. At a pre-defined signal, the spy would bring down the planetary shield and disable the ion cannon, allowing Colonel Deers' forces to launch a ground assault. Unfortunately, Tulimus didn't count on the resourcefulness of the rebel underground or the Alliance, which launched a full-out attack on the Havoc after the Empire had routed Edan Base. In the face of the attack, Tulimus and his crew were destroyed in the explosion of the Havoc. (IAG)

Tulis, Maharg
This was the new identity provided to Edda Gast by the New Republic, after she agreed to provide information on Warlord Zsinj's Project Chubar and Project Minefield. Maharg was a home decorator born on Alderaan. She never got a chance to use it, however, as she was arrested upon her arrival on Coruscant for smuggling Imperial credits onto the planet. (SOC)

Tull, Sheeka
This woman, a former smuggler and entrepreneur who was native to the planet Atrivis 7, was a noted pilot who worked with the Desert Wind guerrilla group during the height of the Clone Wars. She was also loyal to the Old Republic, and agreed to help Kit Fisto and Obi-Wan Kenobi infiltrate the native Cestians in an effort to ascertain the truth behind the JK-series security droids being ordered by the Separatists. Her loyalty only extended as far as needed, and she made it perfectly clear to the offworlders that she was not happy about the situation. She was the daughter of Sheevis Tull, who taught her how to fly a starship. She nearly lost her sister on Devon Four, when the Republic refused to break an embargo to provide aid when a plague struck the planet. Sheeka took it upon herself to smuggler the antidote onto the planet, breaking several Republic laws to save her sister. A dark-skinned woman of exceptional beauty and strength, Sheeka had a stringent sense of humor and a deep-seated love of her people. As an eighteen-year-old smuggler, she moved about in her personal starship, the Spindragon, which she kept lovingly maintained. During this time she had a brief affair with Jango Fett, and she never forgot him. After her parents were killed in a range-war on Atrivis 7, she fled the planet to the most remote location she could reach: Ord Cestus. Once on the planet, she soon found herself in love with a miner named Yander. She also fell in love with his three children and the mining community. Thus, Yander's death hit Sheeka hard, and she retreated into her personal shell. Years later, when the Jedi arrived, she arranged to meet Master Fisto in the Dashta Mountains, and was surprised to find that the Nautolan was also accompanied by a group of ARC troopers. The appearance of the clones, who resembled Jango Fett at the time Sheeka first met him, shook her up a bit. It was their appearance that softened Sheeka a little, and she found herself attracted to Nate in many ways. Even training for combat drew her closer to Nate, who eventually changed his name to Jangotat. After their base was invaded by a group of combat droids, Sheeka managed to rescue the badly-injured Jangotat and remove him to her village in the Zantay Hills. It was during his recovery that Jangotat felt most vulnerable, and his presence at the settlement only placed Sheeka and her family in danger. Sheeka revealed that she hated what he represented, the Clone Wars and the way it was destroying the galaxy. As for Jangotat himself, she only felt pity. This pity changed to love after she took him to see the Guides in person, and Jangotat realized that he was unique in the galaxy, despite the obvious nature of his upbringing. She kissed him twice to prove her love, and Jangotat did nothing to prevent it. In the brief time they were together, Sheeka conceived a child by Jangotat, the only thing she had to cling to after his heroic death on the Kibo Plateau. (TCD)

Tull, Sheevis
This man was a noted independent spacer, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He taught his daughter, Sheeka, everything he knew about flying, as well as techniques to eliminate self-doubt. (TCD)

Tulla Gladeyes and the Shrieking Squeebees
During the last decades of the Old Republic, Jabba the Hutt often employed this band to play at his palace on Tatooine. (E1A7)

Tulon, Beri
This man was the latest member of his family to join the armed forces. His ancient ancestors fought alongside Empress Teta during the Great Hyperspace War, and Tulon's service to the Empire made his family proud. He was known as a friendly soldier, too friendly for his superiors, especially after he was promoted to Lieutenant and spent most of his time getting to know his troops. However, his troops were extremely loyal and effective, and Tulon's results could not be ignored. After Tulon was promoted to Captain, one of his superiors contrived to have Tulon eliminated by sending his troops to Khomm, placing them in harm's way. However, Tulon and a handful of others survived the massacre, and he eventually discovered the treacherous actions. He exposed his superior officer, but the fact that so many men died under his command led him to request a transfer to become an instructor. Tulon excelled in teaching the workings of the Battlefield Holographic Control Interface. He was allowed to supervise the use of the BHCI during the search for R2-D2 and C-3PO on Tatooine, after they jettisoned from the Tantive IV with the plans for the first Death Star. However, after years of seemingly loyal service, Tulon defected to the Alliance. He was eventually captured by Imperial forces and imprisoned on Ruul, until he was rescued by Alliance forces under the command of General Tyr Taskeen. (FC)

Tulrus
This omnivorous creature was native to the planet Mustafar, where it was known as an extremely aggressive beast. Individuals were easily provoked, and would sometime attack another creature without provocation. A tulrus was distinguished by its heavy body and the massive spikes that crowned its head and ran along its spine. These spikes were used on in defense, however, and the tulrus preferred to trample its victims using its massive size. (SWGAL)

Tulrus Lance
Named for a Mustafarian creature, this was a vicious, bladed weapon that was wielded by infantry and other front-line soldiers. (SWGAL)

Tulrus Sword
Named for a Mustafarian creature, this was a hefty, two-handed sword that was used by infantry and other front-line soldiers. (SWGAL)

Tulvaree
A species of semi-intelligent avian hunters, the tulvarees were native to the planet Pochi. When Faarl the Conquerer took control of the planet, the Tulvarees quickly learned how to take orders from the human. Faarl, recognizing a source of soldiers, provided a constant food supply to the Tulvarees in exchange for their allegiance. There were a number of different Tulvaree tribes, and each tribe engaged in intense warfare with the others. Each of their wings was tipped with three razor-sharp talons, and their small mouths were filled with sharp teeth. (WBC)

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

Tumanian Pressure-ruby
This was a very rare gemstone that, if found in perfect condition, was easily worth several million credits. (SE, DF2P)

This cute, friendly creature was native to the Forest Moon of Endor. Tumblebunnies were often plentiful around the seasonal carnivals of the Ewoks, where they performed shows for the young woklings. (ECAR)

Tumblepup
This was a species of small, harmless mammal found in the jungles of Haruun Kal. (SHPT)

Tumble-slabs
Tumble-slabs were a children's game, popular during the Old Republic. A set of tumble-slabs contained slabs of different colors and patterns, which could be set up in lines and whorls on the floor. The pattern formed by the tumble-slabs was limited only by a child's imagination. Ultimately, the tumble-slabs were put in place to be knocked over. The first tumble-slab would fall into the next, and so on, until all the tumble-slabs had fallen over. Over time, adults began to compete with each other, in order to see who could place the most intricate patterns into motion. (MJH)

Tumbrel
This was the generic term used to describe any small, repulsor-equipped vehicle that was used to transport garbage and debris from remote locations to a central processing facility. These vehicles were completely automated, and were usually programmed to move between a worksite and the processing facility. (CN1)

Tumleh Navigation
This sister company of the Shankti Drive Works was also located in D'larah. Tumleh specialized in hyperspatial navigation systems and programming. They were working on a program that would allow ships to navigate through hyperspace around gravity wells, but most of the work was lost when the star Demophon exploded. (SN)

Tumnor
A flying creature native to Da Soocha 5, they have developed a taste for the Ixll. A large reptile, the tumnor had two main wings at its shoulders and a secondary pair along its tail. They had two legs, which ended in shapr spikes instead of feet, and the tip of the tail was also equipped with a spike. (DE1, EGP)

Tumu, Iep
This inept Corellian merchant once owned the freighter Merasy, but he was arrested for smuggling and forced to turn the ship over to the authorities on Brentaal. (SS)

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

Tun

T'un
This wizened old Jedi Master was in charge of maintaining the records of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the 60 years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (UP)

Tun Aduban
This was considered the capital city of the planet Aduba-3, although many believed this was simply because it was the location of the planet's only spaceport. (GMR4)

Tun Aduban Spaceport
This was the only spaceport found on the planet Aduba-3. It was originally just an open collection of spaces alloted at random on a flat patch of stable desert sand. When the false chromium rush brought prospectors and mininf operations to the planet, a control tower was erected to help navigate the increasing numbers of starships at the spaceport. After the mines were abandoned, the control tower was no longer needed, and was also abandoned. Coordination of the spaceport's activities was delegated to a half-functioning PK-series droid, which only seemed to be concerned with the operational status of the spaceport's landing beacon. Because of this situation, shipjacking was a common occurrence, as well as a variety of thefts. (GMR4)

Tun Wala
This manufacturing center was located on the planet Arda-2. The T-6 diodem was manufactured here during the Galactic Civil War. (CSWEA)

Tuna Boat
This was Alliance pilot slang for a Gallofree Yards Medium Transport. (FC)

Tund
This world was the primary planet in the Outer Rim's Tund System. For many centuries or even millennia - no one was ever quite sure - Tund was the home to a brotherhood of magicians known as the Sorcerers of Tund. The planet used to be a lush, evergreen-forested world, but Rokur Gepta destroyed it in a fit of conceit, reducing it to a smoking ball of ash. From space, the planet seemed to glow with a greenish-blue inner light, a result of the intense residue left over from the magic Rokur Gepta unleashed on it. Note that the Star Wars Databank indicates that the planet Tund was the homeworld of the Toong race. (LCM, LCS, IWE1, SWDB)

Tundan
This was the ancient language spoken by the Sorcerers of Tund. (DSSB)

Tundei
This regime took control of the government of Abregado-Rae shortly after the Battle of Endor, claiming that they wanted to eliminate all criminal activities and make Abregado-Rae a law-abiding world. Made up from offworlders who had made Abregado-rae their home, the Tundei was founded with the help of the Herglic known as Shelov. The activities of the planet were governed by the Tundei Tribunal. While their efforts worked initially, their strongarm methods of enforcing the new laws eventually backfired. Smugglers who once flocked to the planet as a haven changed their tactics to supplying the opponents of the Tundei regime with weapons and food. When stronger actions were taken to block this activity, the smuggling community simply stopped working on Abregado-Rae altogether, since their profit margins dwindled while the risks multiplied. Eventually, Tundei regulations starved the planet of billions of credits, both legitimate and illegal, and the planet nearly went bankrupt. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, the Tundei found themselves overwhelmed by refugees demanding a place to hide. (CCW)

Tundei Tribunal
This was the leadership body of the Tundei regime, which took control of the planet Abregado-rae during the early years of the New Republic. (CCW)

Tunding
This adjective was used by natives of the planet Gandle Ott, during the early years of the New Republic. It indicated a correctness to one's actions, as in, "That was right tunding." (DARK)

Tunding
This was a slang adjective, used to disparagingly describe a object. (SWJ10)

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

Tung, Gengi
This Yuuzhan Vong Master Shaper was one of the leaders in the transformation of the planet Coruscant into a simulacrum of long-lost Yuuzhan'tar. He kept a number of umrach beasts at his disposable for hunting down the planet's former inhabitants, to help ensure that his shaping work could continue without mishap. He was always accompanied by his two pet umrachs, Toi and Tixo. (CCW)

Tungo-Li
see Tungo Li (SWRSV)

Tungra Sector
Located near the Javin Sector, the Tungra Sector was home to the Mugaari pirates who harrassed Imperial convoys during the months surrounding the Battle of Hoth. (TIE, TIEP)

Tunia
This Zelosian male was Celot Ratua Dil's uncle. (DSTR)

Tunit, Bekk
This famous podracer was killed in a crash. It was rumored that Watto obtained one of his gloves from the crash site. (IWE1)

Tunnel Beetle
This was a species of crawling insect that was found in caves and caverns on many planets. These beetles were often discovered because of the phosphorescent organs of their bodies, which were used to attract prey. (FJ1)

Tunnel Grinder
This was a generic term used to describe any heavy-duty vehicle that was used to bore out mine shafts and tunnels from the surrounding rock and stone. (FJ1)

Tunnel Runner
This was another name for a geebug. (TCD)

Tunnel Worm
This bioluminescent lifeform was encountered by the crew of the FarStar, deep inside an alien construct located within the Kathol Rift. They lived in unusual streams and rivers running through the construct, absorbing nutrients through their permeable skin. It was later discovered that the tunnel worms were descended from a bio-engineered worm which was created to clean the water supply of the construct. When the original builders abandoned the construct, the tunnel worms continued to evolve on their own. (KR, SWJ15)

Tunnel Worm
Tunnel worms were native to the planet Tasariq, living in the tunnels they burrowed into the earth. These segmented worms measured more than three meters in length, and were predators who hunted on the surface of the planet. They were found in large concentrations near Tasari cities, where they fed on trash and other refuse. (SWJ15)

Tunneler
MicroThrust's top-of-the-line computer spike, the Tunneler was unsurpassed in duration of efficiency. (CFG)

Tunnel-house
This was the name used to describe the underground dwellings created by the hives of the Colony. These dwellings were often built with chimneys to allow air and smoke to escape into the open air. (DN2)

Tunnel-shuttle
This form of transportation was located below the surface of a planet. It employs repulsorlift technology to move a single car or a train along an underground passage. (KT)

Tunqstoid
This durable material was used to manufacture blast doors, during the years that followed the Swarm War. (FJ3)

Tunroth
A humanoid race native to the third, fourth, and fifth planets of the Jiroch System, the Tunroth evolved originally on Jiroch-Reslia and spread to Kalok and Saloch. Tall and muscular, the Tunroth were characterized by their yellow skin and unusual skulls. Their elongated skulls have two nostrils at the top and front, below which sit their dark eyes. Their mouths were filled with sharp teeth, and were surrounded by several horns that stud their chins. They have an intense passion for the hunt, and were an aggressive, self-confident race. These characteristics were questioned when the Tunroth were decimated by the Reslian Plague, but the resulting sense of unity and purpose in rebuilding their society had made them stronger. The plague was brought to their system by a group of Lortan fanatics who swept through the Jiroch and several other systems, leaving death in their wake. The Empire tried to destroy the Lortans and remove their scourge from the galaxy, and succeeded in the Jiroch System. Thus, the Tunroth people have some minimal priase for the Empire, even knowing that the Empire was not there to save the Tunroth themselves. They have agrarian technology, but have taken quickly to high-tech weaponry in their struggles against Imperial domination of their system. (GG12)

Tunroth Assemblage of Three
This group of Tunroth advocated the simultaneous colonization of Kalok and Saloch. (GG12)

Tunrothese
This was the name of the native language of the Tunroth race. The spoken form consisted of primitive grunts and snarls, while the written form used pictograms to indicate specific objects. (UANT)

Tuomi
This New Republic Senator was a native of the planet Bosch. He constantly questioned Leia Organa-Solo's credentials, claiming that the refugees of Alderaan did not constitute a nation under the Republic's auspices. If his beliefs were agreed to by other Senators, then the Alderaanians could not have Senatorial representation, and Leia - not a member of the Republic - could not become Chief of State. (SOL)

Tuomis
A member of Bogo Tragett's Alpha Team sent to Maltha Obex, he developed shelter fever after being penned up during a snowstorm while awaiting Joto Eckels' return. (TT)

Tup
This young man was one of Ren S'orn's friends on Simpla-12. Tup, along with his buddies Cholly and Weez, were bumblers at best who worked hard not to work at all. The three friends agreed to help Obi-Wan Kenobi and Astri Oddo investigate Ren's death and the machinations of Jenna Zan Arbor. After Tino told Obi-Wan and Astri of Captain Yur T'aug's halt to the investigation of Ren's death, Weez, Cholly, and Tup followed the two to Coruscant. They hoped to find the location of Zan Arbor's hidden stash of medicines and vaccines, taking them and selling them for a huge profit. They had planned to steal them all along, but Ren had told them to stay away from Zan Arbor. Weez felt that if the trio could see Ren's belongings, they could locate the stash and obtain the medicines. The trio returned to Simpla-12 with Obi-Wan and Astri, but were unable to help them infiltrate Zan Arbor's lab. The trio tried to redeem themselves by helping Astri locate Ona Nobis, first tailing the bounty hunter on Sorrus and then following her to Belasco. In the end, the boys never saw any fighting, but provided "moral support." They agreed to travel to Coruscant with Astri to work as Didi's Café. (EVE, TDR)

Tup Tup

Tur
This Yuuzhan Vong article translated into Basic as "the." (SBS)

Tur, Ish-Bel
This Jedi Knight served the Almas Academy during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He agreed to serve as the Jedi liaison to the Thaereian Military after the arrest of Gerta Haman, when she revealed a linkage between the Thaereians and the Separatists on the news program Eye on Cularin. However, while en route to Thaere, the ship carrying Haman and Ish-Bel Tur was attacked by unknown assailants. Before the ship could reach Thaere, it exploded, killing everyone onboard. (LFCW)

Tur Lonkin
see Tur Lorkin (NECH)

Tur Lorkin
This was a mining settlement on the planet Pengalan IV. Much of the settlement was established shortly after the Battle of Naboo, and a small spaceport allowed easy access. (SWI65)

Turak Campaign
This was the term used by Voren Na'al to describe the events of the Battle of Turak IV, in which Alliance forces defeated the Hell's Hammers unit of the Imperial army. However, the Alliance suffered incredible losses while trying to defend its positions on the planet, and Na'al came to describe the Turak Campaign as a "strategic defeat". (OWS)

Turak IV
This volcanic planet was the site of the worst defeat that the Hell's Hammers ever suffered at the hands of the Alliance. The planet itself was a desolate world covered by lava fields that were alternately solid rock and flowing magma, which spoke eloquently of the planet's intense seismic activity,.and the atmosphere was nearly too hot to breathe. Although several independent mining operations failed to established working facilities on Turak IV, the planet's crust contained a wealth of natrual minerals and ores, and the Alliance hoped to secure the planet for its own manufacturing requirements. Alliance forces had been gearing up to make their stand on Turak IV, following victories in other parts of Parmel Sector, and hoped that Imperial General Maltaz would continued to be as incompetent as he had been in other campaigns. Despite the fact that Alliance forces were able to eliminate nearly all of the Hell's Hammers' repulsortanks, they lost large amounts of manpower and equipment themselves. Most Imperial supporters considered the action at Turak IV a success, because of the large amount of damage done to the Alliance's force. (ISB, SWJ9, OWS)

Turak IV Campaign
This was a term used by Alliance military personnel to describe the Battle of Turak IV. (OWS)

Turan
This was a race of orange-skinned creatures. (TBH)

Turan, Fort
This man was the leader of the Old Republic scientific team which traveled to Haariden, some five years after the Battle of Naboo, to investigate the effects of a volcanic environment on its atmospherics and inhabitants. Doctor Turan was a space geologist by education, and was forced into action as the team's leader when they were beset by Haaridan rebels who chose to ignore the cease-fire. (JQ4)

Turas Noth
One of the primary cities on the planet Teyr. (SOL)

Turas Valley
Falling some 200 meters from the heights of the Kalis Peaks, this densely-forested valley was located on the planet OM813. Students at the Galactic Outdoor Survival School had to negotiate the valley after passing over the Kalis Peaks, and were forced to deal with the dense vegetation and the thousands of lifeforms which lived in the valley. (AIR)

Turazza
A small, reptiloid race of humanoids. (KO)

Turbine 3
This was one of the more powerful starship reactor cores produced by SoroSuub, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Turbine Overdrive Relay
This was a key component of the drive systems of most speeders and repulsorlift vehicles. The turbine overdrive relay allowed a pilot to shift the drive systems into overdrive, producing more power to the drives by shunting it through smaller exhaust nacelles. (MF)

Turbodozer
This was a high-powered, heavy-duty excavation machine that was produced during the final decades of the Old Republic. (LJ8)

Turbodyne 99
This was a early series of podracers developed by Elsinore-Cordova. The Turbodyne 99 became the design basis for the improved Turbodyne 99-U. (CWCC)

Turbodyne 99-U
This was a series of podracers developed by Elsinore-Cordova. Wan Sandage flew a Turbodyne 99-U model during the famous Boonta Eve Classic race won by Anakin Skywalker. The cockpit of this racer measured 2.06 meters in length, and the engines were 5.03 meters long. The engines could move the racing pod at speeds approaching 785 kilometers per hour. (IG1)

Turbofizz
This was the name of a drink that was popular in the Corporate Sector, during the era of the New Order. (CSA)

Turbohammer
This was a form of heavy-duty hammer that was used by construction workers. Unlike traditional hammers, a turbohammer used a small power generator to create additional striking force, making each blow much more powerful than that of a hand-wielded hammer. (LJ5)

Turbolaser
This was the term used to describe any huge laser battery that used highly-intensified power sources to augment the strength of the laser bolt. Due to their size and power requirements, these weapon could be hard to target and often misfired, but when they were on-target, the damage was impressive. Thus, turbolasers were often used against capital ships, to punch through the heavy armor plating and shielding of an enemy vessel. Turbolasers were prone to overheating, due to the needs of the turbine-driven power source.

The power for a tubrolsaer blast was created by turbine generators, and this power was stored in a massive capacitor until the weapon was fired. As the blast moved through the barrel, it heated the surrounding material to incredible temperatures, requiring that each barrel retract into a cryogenically cooled sleeve after firing. This kept the barrel from warping or cracking, but also required that the weapon go through a cool-down period before being fired again. (E4, SWSB, SSOG)

Turbolaser II
This turbolaser emplacement was designed and produced by Golan Arms. (HAS)

Turbolaser System I
This was the name of Loronar Defense Industries' fixed turbolaser battery, designed and developed for surface emplacement and produced for use by the Empire. It was essentially a single, heavy turbolaser weapon that was mated to an independent targetting and fire control system. The primary drawback to the System I turbolaser was that it overheated after just a few sustained shots, at which point its emergency systems came online and shut the weapon down. (ISB)

Turbolaser System IV
This was Loronar Defense Industries' most modern turbolaser emplacement, developed during the early years of the New Republic. (EGW)

Turbolift
This was a form of elevator that used repulsorlift technology to move individual cars along a tubular path. Most often installed in a vertical layout, turbolifts could be used to move cars along any smooth path. The technology was used in many applications, from cargo lifts to high-speed connections between the upper and lower floors of a skyscraper building. Winch turbolifts employed special booms that allowed the main mechanism to be transported from location to location, and were used almost exclusively at construction sites. Unlike traditional turbolifts, winch turbolifts used open-sided cars for easier access with equipment. (E4, DFR, LF1)

Turbosaw
This high-powered cutting tool was generally considered one of the loudest tools ever produced in the galaxy. (LF5)

Turbo-skis
These devices were worn on the feet, and allowed a being to move downhill over a variety of terrain. Based on simple snow skis, turbo-skis were used in conjunction with deflector poles, which provided greater stability than simple ski poles. Turbo-skis differed from regular snow skis in that they had specialized motors attached to provide additional velocity and, if use properly, maneuverability. A stabilizer belt was also required equipment when wearing turbo-skis, as it was used to help maintain balance. (DA)

Turbostorm
This Sienar Technologies gunship was developed during the last centuries of the Old Republic, but was considered ancient by the era of the Clone Wars. Essentially a blastboat which had been refitted for atmospheric travel, the Turbostorm was a relatively slow craft designed for carrying a platoon of heavy infantry into a battle zone. Because of this mission profile, the Turbostorm was heavily armored and armed, bristling with laser cannons and missile launchers. (SHPT)

TurboToo
This small corporation manufactured high-powered repulsorlift engines. (SS)

Turbovator
Used on Centerpoint Station, these conveyor modules were used by the station's inhabitants to move throughout the huge station. They were basically repulsorlift-powered containers that were used for passengers or cargo. Each turbovator car had an airlock at each end, and they operated in a series of tubes connected throughout the station. (SC)

Turbulent-class Destroyer
This new class of destroyers was created by the Imperial Remnant, during the years following the Swarm War. These vessels, referred to as pocket destroyers in the military, were designed to be smaller and more agile than the typical Star Destroyer. The Turbulent-class Destroyer had two main hangar bays located in the stern, and its primary command center was protected by a series of overlapping hatchways and chambers that made it difficult for a boarding party to breach without the use of serious firepower. However, this same design made it almost impossible for a command crew to escape from the ship if it were boarded, because they had to make their way out of a maze of chambers to reach the escape pods. Thus, ship commanders were given knowledge of several escape routes that wound through the innards of the ship, to assist them in emergency situations. (LF8)

Turcan III
This planet was located in Parmel Sector. It was the site of an Imperial Central Command base, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GG9, SWJ15, OWS)

Tureen VI
This planet was made famous by the so-called Soup People who were said to inhabit it. (OWS)

Turfhopper

Turfjumper
This small mammal was native to the planet Cato Neimoidia, and was named for the way it bounded across the landscape. (LEV)

Turgah, Brandis
This man was a common thief who tried to pass himself off as a New Republic technician onboard a Bothan starship. Unfortunately for Brandis, the Bothans caught him trying to steal their goods. Brandis was brought before the leader of the Bothans, Borsk Fey'lya, who left Brandis go on the condition that he serve the Bothans as a spy and information gatherer. Brnadis was inserted as a computer/droid specialist aboard the FarStar, during the search for Moff Sarne, when the Bothans learned of the DarkStryder project. His role was simple: provide continual updates on the progress of the mission back to the Bothans. (DARK, KR)

Turhaya, Arada
This man was a hero of the Clone Wars, and a commander in the Old Republic military. Arada's younger son, Matt, later attended the Imperial Academy. Arada's older son, Jamie, took care of Matt in the wake of the death of Matt's wife and the disappearance of his daughter. (SWJ7)

Turhaya, Jamie
This man was Matt Turhaya's older brother, the elder son of Arada Turhaya. He owned Turhaya's Landspeeder Repair shop, located within the city of Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. After Matt's wife ,Anii, and daughter, Alex, were believed to have dead within a year of each other, Jamie took Matt in and tried to help him regain his equilibrium by employing him at the repair shop. Matt lost the rights to the shop in a sabacc match to Tere Metallo, but she refused to accept the payment because Matt wasn't a full partner. Instead, she asked Matt to work off his debt as a mechanic aboard her ship, the Star Quest. Jamie was reluctant to see Matt leave, but felt that the job might help him in the long run. (SWJ7, OWS)

Turhaya, Matt
The younger son of Arada Turhaya, Matt attended the Imperial Academy as a youth. The name "Turhaya" came from the Old Corellian word for "bright star." He was later married to the former Anii Degarienne, who died in a freak accident at a weapons manufacturing facility shortly after the birth of their daughter, Alex. Matt was forced to leave his daughter Alex with relatives on Janara III when he reported for duty aboard the Relentless. When he returned from his tour of duty, Alex had been rescued from an Imperial raid and adopted by Turk Winger. However, Matt only saw the destruction and believed Alex to be dead. He deserted the military and fled to Tatooine, where he fell into a deep despair and had to live with his older brother, Jamie, because he could not keep a regular job. After nearly losing his brother's landspeeder repair shop in a sabacc match to Tere Metallo, Matt was faced with a choice: pay Metallo the 150,000 credits he owed her, or go to work as her mechanic. Matt chose the latter, turning to a life of smuggling and working for a time with Tere Metallo aboard the StarQuest. (SWJ6, SWJ7, SWJ12, OWS)

Turhaya's Landspeeder Repair
A business located in Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, it was established by Jamie Turhaya shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Jamie's younger brother, Matt, lost the rights to the shop in a sabacc match to Tere Metallo, but he Riileb refused to accept the shop as payment. She felt that, since Matt was not a full partner, he could not have bet the rights in the match. Metallo cornered Matt into paying off his debt aboard her starship, the Star Quest, allowing Jamie to retain ownership. (GG7, SWJ7)

Turi, Shana

(SWJ3)

Turi, Tionthes
This respected Sundar engineer worked with the Garosian Tork Winger to hammer out the peace treaty that ended the civil war between their two planets. (SWJ5)

Turino
This Swokes Swokes was one of the twelve Caliphs who lived in the city of Thousand Thousand, on the planet Makem Te, during the height of the New Order. (GORW)

Turk
This man served the Empire as a stormtrooper, serving as part of the security force at the Krake Data Vault facility on Krake's Planet during the height of the Galactic Civil War. When Turk and his squad discovered Luke Skywalker accessing the files on Shira Elan Colla Brie, Turk tried to fight Luke hand-to-hand, hoping to bring the young rebel to Darth Vader alive. Luke's fighting skills were too good, and Turk's companions decided to open fire. Unfortunately, Luke flipped Turk over his back just as the other stormtroopers fired their weapons. Turk was shot several times and died almost instantly. (MC63)

Turkana
This planet was the site of an Imperial Star Destroyer ambush on the main fleet of Alliance Mon Calamari cruisers during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. The Alliance successfully repelled the ambush due to the introduction of the X-Wing starfighter. It was located in the Hadar Sector. (XW)

Turkhana
see Turkana (SWI87)

Turkhorn, Kels
This woman was a professional thief, working for Cecil Noone during the height of the New Order. Distinguished by her white hair, Kels had grown up without any basis to her life, orphaned at a young age and forced to work as a galley slave for many years before she joined Noone's group. She first learned of the planet Tasariq from Cavv Cryle. Later, she was part of the effort to recover a sealed lockbox from the Song of the Clouds. The group's success in stealing a Hapan gun of command from Vop the Usurer was doused when they couldn't find a buyer for it, leaving them on the run with a valuable piece of stolen weaponry. When the gun of command was taken by Tyro Viveca, Kels felt her anger rise despite the fact that Noone only barely escaped from the Krish crimelord. She tried to formulate a plan to return to Viveca's estate and recover the weapon, but her plans were cut short when local law enforcement agencies grounded their ship. (SWJ15, GMR1)

Turkroot

Turmen, Arajen
This man served the Empire were a Navy pilot and gunboat commander during the Galactic Civil War, and was stationed on Tatooine during the Battle of Endor. When the Empire was defeated, Captain Turmen remained on Tatooine, and eventually became the leader of the settlement created from the former Eidolon Base facility. A skilled negotiator, Turmen preferred to use words rather than blasters to get his point across. In his mid-sixties during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Turmen spent much of his time preparing the Eidolon Base settlement for possible attacks by the Sandpeople. (SOT)

Turmil Lizard
This small reptile was native to the upper levels of the rainforests of Veron. (PG1)

Turminum
This ore was mined from the asteroids of the Thrugii Belt, located around the star Sokor. (BSS)

Turmok
This unusual space slug was discovered by a group of slug hunters more than fifty years before the Battle of Endor. Turmok had a basic level of sentience, and it believed that it was the only being to exist in the universe. That was, until the slug hunters showed up. When the hunters entered Turmok's mouth and began firing their blasters, Turmok swallowed them whole. Turmok later consumed the rescue team that was sent to find the hunters. It began to realize that it was not alone in the universe, and that all other creatures were out to kill him. In addition to its sentience, Turmok also had evolved a huge set of probing, tentacle-like cilia inside it mouth, which it used to examine its surroundings. It used these cilia to pull the hunters' ships into its mouth and explore them, until one day it triggered one of the ship's distress signals. When another rescue team arrived, Turmok ate them as well. Turmok learned to use the distress call to draw in unsuspecting rescue teams, then consumed them. (WOTC)

Tur-Mukan, Etain
This young woman was one of the many Jedi Padawans who were away from Coruscant when the Clone Wars broke out. She and her Master, Kast Fulier, were dispatched to the planet Qiilura to investigate the development of a nanovirus by Ovolot Qail Uthan. Their attempts to infiltrate the farmers and gain their confidence were undermined by the fact that many of the farmers were under the control of Ghez Hokan, who was being funded by the Separatists. The farmers eventually betrayed them, and Master Fulier was captured and killed. Etain managed to escape, but only barely. She feared that her lack of ability to control the Force would be her death, since it had kept her from advancing very far in her own training. However, as luck would have it, she ran into the clone commando Darman during her escape. She was unprepared for Darman's appearance, since she had been away from Coruscant while the Grand Army of the Republic was formed. His pronouncement that she was now his commanding officer scared her, as she had very little military training. She was also unprepared for what she saw of Darman with the Force, because she saw him as a ten-year-old, which was his chronological age.

Given his military training and Etain's Jedi training, she was surprised to find that she was attracted to him, and he to her. She felt stronger and more capable in his presence, and he helped her learn some of the skills she needed to be a military commander. He located two poles and sparred with her in one-on-one combat, honing her lightsaber skills while enhancing both their fighting skills at the same time. Etain thoroughly enjoyed these times together, as they served to strengthen the bond between them. After Uthan was captured, thanks in part ot Etain's growing leadership and combat skills, she returned to the Republic's command post to report to Jedi Master Arligan Zey. She refused to leave Qiilura when Zey ordered the rest of Omeag Squad to hunt down Hokan, and Zey was forced to lat her accompany them. They located Hokan quickly, and it was Etain's lightsaber that finally killed the criminal. Fi returned Master Fulier's lightsaber to her, but Etain didn't want it. She turned it over to Master Zey instead, then decided to remain on Qiilura to honor her promise to Jinart, helping remove the Separatist forces and allowing the Gurlanin to live freely on their homeworld. For her role in the fighting on Qiilura, Tur-Mukan was promoted to the level of full Jedi Knight.

Despite her loyalty to the Jedi Order, Tur-Mukan found herself attracted to Darman, a feeling that only intensified when they were brought together on Coruscant to smash a terrorist ring that was targetting military installations. While on the mission, Etain professed her love for Darman, who also had not been able to forget her. Rather than being rational, they both agreed to allow their relationship to become physical. Without thinking, Etain allowed herself to become pregnant with a son, but was unable to tell Darman what had happened. She eventually revealed her pregnancy to Kal Skirata, but was unprepared for his vehement response. He railed against her selfishness, and forced her to see that the child of a clone commando and a Jedi was a valuable asset that needed to be protected from any number of dangerous parties. She was forced to agree with his assessment, and agreed to accompany Jinart back to Qiilura, to remain out of the public eye until her son was born.

On Qiilura, Etain was placed in charge of the effort to extradite the human colonists to Kebolar, but was faced with stern opposition from the colonists. As a Jedi, she struggled to find a way to avoid bloodshed, but was unable to convince the colonists with mere words. The Gurlanin grew tired of the delays, and provided the information that led to the destruction of the Core Conveyor and the loss of all hands aboard the ship. This prompted Etain to take a more direct approach, finally ordering her clone troopers to use deadly force if the colonists didn't surrender. She wasn't sure that she could actually put this order into action until several clones were killed while waiting for her to try and negotiate the surrender of a group of settlers. In her haste, Etain had been led into a minefield that had been set up as a trap, and her anger had led her to order the destruction of the humans' hiding place. The quick thinking of Commander Levet saved her life, and the Gurlanins moved in to eliminate the rest of the humans.

However, upon reaching safer ground, Etain realized that she was hemorrhaging blood, and needed medical attention to save her baby. With Levet's help, she was able to stabilize her condition, although she was later forced to reveal to clone commando Ordo that she much farther along than he realized. She had been slowly influencing the development of the fetus, and although only ninety days had passed since she had become pregnant, the baby was about six months along in its development. A medical scan by a 2-1B droid confirmed this, but it also confirmed that her placenta was under increasing stress, which had led to the hemorrhaging she had experienced on the battlefield.

Etain was pleased when Ordo revealed that Kal Skirata wanted to name the baby Venku, a name that stemmed from the Mandalorian word for future, vencuyat. Ordo then transported her off Qiilura, and brought her to a rendezvous with Kal Skirata on Dorumaa, where he had been searching for Ko Sai. Upon arriving at Dorumaa, however, Etain felt the destruction of a communications facility on Gaftikar, where Fi and Atin were injured in an explosion. She relayed her concerns to Ordo, who did what he could to contact the Omegas for a status report. Skirata then asked her if she would be all right with a trip to Mandalore, where he hoped to lay low and interrogate Ko Sai without being hounded by the rest of the GAR. Etain agreed, knowing that she might be reunited with Darman.

Etain gave birth to her son on Mandalore, bringing Venku Skirata into the world early one morning. She helped with the baby's first few days, and was somewhat relieved when Kal Skirata arrived and was nearly emotional at the sight of the child. A few days later, she was getting ready to return to Coruscant - stopping first to visit with Omega Squad - when she decided to say goodbye to Ko Sai. She found that the Kaminoan had hung herself, and immediately called for Kal and Mereel. The work to reverse the aging process in the clones had not been completed, although Etain knew that Venku would grow up normally.

Back on Coruscant, she reported to the office of Arligan Zey, joining Bardan Jusik in a meeting that would decide both of their fates. When Jusik renounced his commitment to the Jedi Order, Etain was just as surprised as Zey, although she wondered what would happen to Jusik when he tried to make his way on the outside. For her own part, Etain managed to keep a calm demeanor during Zey's questioning, although Jusik's departure seemed to have taken most of the anger out of the man. He let Etain off with little more than a warning, and returned Master Fulier's lightsaber to her. Although Etain was free to return to duty as a General, she always returned to Coruscant to visit with Besany Wennen, who was taking care of little Venku. At one of these meetings, she was reunited with Darman, and it took all the concentration she could muster to pretend that her child was simply one of Kal Skirata's gradnchildren. She and Dar took a couple of days off together, just to spend time alone before going back into the battle.

Upon returning to the Jedi Order, Etain was once again given command of a clone trooper unit and sent back into battle. It was during a mission to Thyferra that Etain met Callista Masana and the Jedi who had trained under Master Djinn Altis, and she realized that there was more to life than the self-sacrifice that was demanded by the Jedi Council. Etain admitted to Ordo that she had decided to leave the Jedi Order when the fighting was over, if not sooner. Before she could finalize this decision, she was shipped off to the planet Haurgab to help suppress the local Maujasi rebels. After Haurgab, Etain was transported to GAR Station Nerrif, where she was reunited with Darman. She remembered her discussions with Callista, and finally broke the news to Darman about the birth of their son. Although she expected Darman to question why the child's birth had been kept secret, she was unprepared for how betrayed he felt when the news struck him. Darman walked out and confronted Skirata before returning to Etain, hoping to meet their son for the first time as his father. When he asked about raising the boy as a Mandalorian, Etain was quick to agree, since she had no desire to let him be raised as a Jedi Knight.

As the Clone Wars neared their end, Etain and her clone squads were dispatched to Kashyyyk, as part of a mission to free the planet from Separatist control. She also tried to have Darman and Delta Squad dispatched to Fontin Nine on reconnaissance duty, hoping to keep him safe until Skirata could put his plans into motion. During the defense of Kashyyyk, Sev was cut off from the rest of Delta Squad during a mission to destroy a Separatist turbolaser, and Jedi Master Quinlan Vos ordered the remaining squad members to retreat immediately. Like Scorch, Etain refused to simply leave Sev behind, but the Wookiee Enacca stepped in to force her to return to base. Enacca vowed to return to Kashyyyk and search for Sev, but only after Etain was safely back on Coruscant. It was during the retreat that Etain received a message from Darman, in which he recited the traditional Mandalorian wedding contract and asked her to respond in kind. She immediately responded with the vows, but the loss of Sev tempered any joy she felt at finally being married to Darman. She followed her message to Dar with a communication to Arligan Zey, in which she officially renounced her status as a Jedi Knight.

However, before she could be reunited with Dar, the command to execute Order 66 was issued by Chancellor Palpatine, and Etain was lucky enough to be with Enacca at the time. She was able to make her way back to the Kragget restaurant on Coruscant, where Soronna helped her destroy her Jedi robes and obtain some civilian clothing. She refused to get rid of her lightsabers, and kept them hidden beneath her new clothes. Etain also refused to stay put, and against orders from Bardan Jusik, set out to reach another rendezvous point. She agreed to meet up with the others at eh Shinarcan Bridge, but was prevented from reaching them by the crowd that had gathered at a security checkpoint there. She saw a group of Jedi Padawans trying to escape the chaos, and tried to keep herself hidden among the civilians. However, when a clone trooper tried to apprehend them, one of the Padawans drew his lightsaber. Etain found herself acting purely on her instincts, and put herself in front of the clone, preventing the Padawan from hurting him. Before she could draw her own weapon, however, the Padawan's blade cut her in half, and Etain died almost instantly.

Jaller Obrim arrived on the scene and kept watch over Etain's body, insisting that Skirata and the others make their escape in the chaos that followed. Obrim waited until A'den arrived on the scene, then helped the clone commando make off with Etain's body. A'den made sure that Etain was transported to Mandalore, where he delivered her body to Kal Skirata for a proper burial. Kal was forced to go through Etain's belongings, and kept only the things he felt that her son would need. Bardan Jusik claimed her lightsabers, in case they needed the weapons at some point in the future. Note that the list of characters in Republic Commando: Order 66 indicates that Etain was a male human. (RCHC, RCTZ, RCTC, RC66)

This was one of two Yuuzhan Vong creatures, along with Sgauru, dispatched to Duro to destroy the refugee settlements established by the New Republic. Known as a female Biter, the chitinous Tu-Scart literally consumed the technology of the New Republic and left behind waste matter that could be used by other Yuuzhan Vong bio-creations to create energy. The name Tu-Scart translated from the Yuuzhan Vong language as "slithering smasher." After years of conquest, the Yuuzhan Vong brought Sgauru and Tu-Scart to Coruscant, following the planet's reformation into a new version of Yuuzhan'tar. On Coruscant, the pair was put to work in destroying as much of the duracrete and transparisteel as they could, thereby helping the World Brain to complete its worldshaping activities. Some five years after the invasion began, Sgauru and Tu-Scart were ordered to play a more offensive role, when they were dispatched by Supreme Overlord Shimrra to attack the Galactic Alliance infiltration force that landed on Coruscant. Note that the Wizards of the Coast website claims that Tu-Scart was the Beater. Also note that The Unifying Force indicates that Tu-Scart was a male. (BP, WOTC, UF)

Tusede 13
This was one of the most modern vaporators, produced during the early years of the New Republic. Despite its many features and good quality record, many moisture farmers avoided it because its many systems just meant that there was more to break down. (TG)

Tusken Bread
This was a form of flatbread that was baked on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. It was believed to have been a recipe stolen from the Tusken Raiders, although several culinary experts believed it was named for the use of Tusken brew-yeast as an ingredient. Among the other ingredients were bantha butter and blue milk, which were mixed with water, flour, and salt to create the dough. (SWGAL)

Tusken Raider
A race of nomadic desert mutants on Tatooine who roam the Jundland Wastes, the Tusken Raiders were often called Sand People. The Tusken Raider name came from the humans who lived at Fort Tusken, and survived the aliens' first attack there. Tusken Raiders were believed to have descended from the Ghorfas, but there was no hard evidence to link the two. A few scientists claimed that Sandpeople had human origins, but the autopsies done on what few dead that were left behind revealed cyborg eyes and other non-human characteristics. Still other xenobiologists claimed that the Tusken Raiders were descended form the Kumumgah, thereby sharing a common origin with the Jawas. Their origins - either native to Tatooine or transplanted - were lost even to the Sand People themselves, although there were legends of a time when Tatooine was covered with grasslands. These legends held that the Builders - a group of Rakatan explorers - arrived on Tatooine and tried to enslave the ancient Tusken Raiders, who had discovered space travel and angered the Builders. They fought back and won their freedom, but the Rakatans burned the grasslands in retaliation, leaving Tatooine a desert wasteland. This story also claims that the root of the Tusken Raiders' intense hatred of other beings derived from their war with the Builders, although written history points to a more recent event.

Some 400 years before the attack on Fort Tusken, the desert bandit Alkhara slaughtered a group of Tusken Raiders who had befriended him. This was generally considered the source of the Raiders' anger and mistrust. It was also believed that Alkhara's own attitudes spawned many of the myths and legends that surrounded the Tusken Raiders, including the belief that they flayed their victims alive before throwing the carcasses to their banthas. In battle, the Tusken Raiders were rumored to spit streams of blood at their victims, but this characterization was later attributed to superstitious moisture farmers.

The average Tusken Raider was a humanoid being who dressed in heavy cloth robes, leaving no part of their body exposed to the elements. The males covered their heads with strips of cloth that held a breath mask and eye protection on their faces, while the females and the children wore full helmets. Only an individual's mate was allowed to see them with their coverings removed. The Tusken Raiders learned how to train the banthas native to Tatooine as mounts, forming deep and lasting bonds with their chosen bantha. A marauding group of Raiders would always rode them single file, to hide their numbers. Each individual worked with the same bantha for life. When a mount was killed or died, the rider was left to wander the desert alone. If the bantha's spirit deemed it so, the rider would be befriended by another bantha. Otherwise, the rider would die in the sands. On the other hand, if a rider was killed or died, its bantha was turned out into the desert.

Although the Tusken Raiders were aggressive and violent by nature, they had deep-seated traditions that were tightly coupled to their everyday lives. Young individuals were required to prove their adulthood in various physical activities, the hardest of which was the manhood ritual of hunting down a krayt dragon. Because the they had no written language, the most revered member of a clan or tribe was the storyteller. He knew the life-story of every member of his clan, and also knew the clan's history. The storyteller was required to memorize the histories word-for-word, eliminating any chance for misinterpretation or distortion. Apprentice storytellers often ware more hard-pressed to prove themselves than warriors, for a single mistake in reciting the histories meant instant death.

As violent as their nature was, the Tusken Raiders stayed as far from the moisture farmers as the farmers did them. There were occasional attacks on the more outlying settlements, often caused by misunderstanding than any desire to attack settlers outright. As a people, the nomadic Tusken Raiders lived in tents that could be moved at a moment's notice. Each tribe maintained its own caravan, moving about to locate food sources and to avoid krayt dragons. Tribal leaders were the only individuals who knew the entire tribe, allowing them arrange marriages and ensure the vitality of the tribe. Because hunting and defense were of paramount importance, young Tusken Raiders went through rigorous training, and had to pass a coming-of-age test before being recognized as an adult. (E4N, SWSB, TME, ISU, VD2, SWDB, SOT, KOTOR, NEGA, RF3)

Tusken Turn
This sharp turn was found on Jabba the Hutt's podracing course, located outside the city of Mos Epsa on the planet Tatooine. It was here that a group of Tusken Raiders would come to watch the race and take target practice, shooting at the unsuspecting pod racers. The Sand People came to the podracing course to shoot at the racers, as form of revenge for Jabba's usurping of the Sacred Pinnacle for use in the Mos Espa Arena. The Tusken Turn, also known as the Canyon Dune Turn, later served as a section of the noted Mos Espa Circuit, a swoop racing event held annually during the height of the New Order. (E1N, IWE1, SWGAL)

Tusken's Escape
This was the point at which Tatooine's arch Canyon split into three forks, each of which split again and again, creating a maze of alleyways. This maze was named for the fact that Tusken Raiders, on the run from humans who wanted to kill them, often fled into the maze to avoid being captured. (TG)

Tusken's Eye
This tube-like pillar of silvery gas and dust was one of the small openings in the gaseous wall of the Utegetu Nebula. Located just inside the Tusken's Eye was a G-class star that provided the light that gave the Tusken's Eye its color. The star was orbited by a white-clouded gas giant, which was in turn orbited by more than a dozen small moons. During the year following the Qoribu Crisis, pirates hired by the Gorog hive used the Tusken's Eye to secretly enter the nebula and deliver their goods to the Dark Nest. Unknown to the rest of the galaxy, sixteen of the "moons" that were orbiting the cloud-covered planet were nest ships, specially constructed by the Gorog hive to transport Killik agents into the galaxy. There was one nest ship for each of the fifteen planets inhabited by the Colony within the Utegetu Nebula, plus a separate nest ship for the Gorog itself. The placement of the nest ships near the Tusken's Eye gave the Gorog a brief advantage over the Fifth Fleet of the Galactic Alliance, since the warships of the Fifth Fleet were blockading the mouth of the Utegetu Nebula and the Murgo Choke. The Gorog believed that they could escape through the Murgo Choke, but their plans were discovered by Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Jae Juun. There efforts at disabling the Gorog nest ship proved successful, and only four other nest ships managed to break through the blockade. The Gorog ship and ten others were trapped inside the Utegetu Nebula. (DN2)

Tusker
This was the name given to those male Gamorreans who served as household servants to the clan matrons and their husbands. They were unmarried, and were hired by the clans for their strength and skill in battle. Most tuskers were used as front-line combatants in the intra-clan wars that raged during the Wartime season, and those who survived received a portion of the plunder. (SWJ14)

Tusskerl
This Trandoshan was Dunb Shevv's partner in crime. During the height of the New Order, the two joined forces to establish an armwrestling scam. They eventually found their way to Bespin's Cloud City, where they set up shop in the Lower Deck. Tusskerl would take on any being who believed that they could wrestle him, while Dunb Shevv kept track of all bets. Tusskerl won more often than he lost, and Dunb Shevv ensured that the odds were always working their favor. (RESB)

This Trandoshan was the only surviving member of a team of miners who tried to establish a base of operations on the moon of Rennokk, in the Cularin System, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. (LFC)

Tusus, Belo
This Ortolan served as Financial Minister of his homeworld of Orto, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. He eventually took control of the planetary government and allied Orto with the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Unknown to Tusus and his Separatist allies, one of his Twi'leki assistants had made contact with Jedi Knight Nem Bees, who had infiltrated Orto in the guise of the trader known as Ydde. Using information provided by this aide, Nem Bees was able to carry out various acts of sabotage that left Tusus paranoid about his position. Tusus later fled Orto, fearing for his life. (SWDB)

Tuten
This male Koorivar owned and operated Tuten's Starship Repairs, on the planet Hallitron-7, during the early years of the New Order. He sold a new transpasitor to Ferus Olin, but was required to report any such purchase to the Imperial authorities on the planet. The Imperial threatened to shut down his shop if Tuten didn't comply with the order, despite the fact that he hated turning Ferus in to the authorities. (LJ10)

Tuten's Starship Repairs

This was the largest community education facility found on the planet Tuttin IV, during the height of the New Order. (GMR6)

Tutukan
This species of eight-legged reptile, native to the planet Rhommamool, had enormous tusks protruding from its jaws. The natives of the planet domesticated the tutukans for use as mounts. They were the favored transport of the Red Knights of Life, as they were fanatically opposed to the use of mechanical technology. (VP)

Tuuk, Mar
This Neimoidian male served as a Captain in the military forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the era of the Clone Wars. Captain Tuuk was placed in command of the Separatist fleet that invade and took control of the planet Ryloth, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis, and was ordered by Wat Tambor to ensure that the Galactic Republic was unable to retake the planet. When he realized that Anakin Skywalker and the flagship Resolute had been dispatched to confront his forces, Mar Tuuk began studying the Jedi Knight in order to prove that Skywalker could be defeated. Despite warnings from Wat Tambor that the Republic's fleet was too small to mount an effective counterstrike, Mar Tuuk believed that Skywalker would do anything to free Ryloth. However, he was not prepared for Skywalker's bold move, using the damaged hulk of the warship Defender to smash through the Separatist fleet and ram into Mar Tuuk's command ship. As soon as he realized what Skywalker's plan really was, Mar Tuuk turned command of his ship over to a battle droid before fleeing to the escape pods. (CWTV19)

Tuulab
This Outer Rim planet was located in the Triitus System, situated in the Corva Sector. It was first colonized during the last years of the Old Republic. When the New Order was instituted, a group of 721 colonists, led by Ingas Lek, fled from neighboring worlds to Tuulab to escape Palpatine's tyranny. The planet later became a base of operations for the crimelord Mahk'khar. Tuulab spins rapidly on its axis, completing a full rotation every 18 standard hours. The year on Tuulab lasted 452 local days. (SWJ6)

Tuulabi
This was the name used by the human inhabitants of the planet Tuulab to describe themselves. (SWJ6)

Tuum, Rasi
This male Cathar was one of the many Jedi Knights who defended the galaxy some 130 years after the Battle of Yavin. Rasi Tuum agreed to accompany Shado Vao to Daluuj, some seven years after the Sith-Imperial War came to an end, where they were to meet with Jedi Master Wolf Sazen. Master Sazen had finally decided to rally the Jedi against the Sith Lords who had taken control of the galaxy. Rasi Tuum was among the minority who believed that any meeting of the Jedi was dangerous, and refused to accept Sazen's belief that Cade Skywalker was still alive. Tuum's fears were realized when a group of Sith attacked them on Daluuj. Unfortunately for Master Sazen, Rasi Tuum was among the Jedi who were slain in the fighting. (SWLB)

Tuun, Maneeli
This Polis Massan was one of the many members of the archaeological team that was investigating the ancient civilization of the sundered world of Polis Massa, during the last years of the Old Republic. Maneeli Tuun was trained as a physician, and served the archaeological team as a doctor and surgeon. He was also a strong supporter of the ideals of the Old Republic, and often assisted the Jedi Order with certain missions during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Thus, when Padme' Amidala was brought to Polis Massa by Obi-Wan Kenobi, Maneeli Tuun was on duty to assist in helping her deliver her twin babies. Many months later, he was forced to submit to the demands of Inquisitor Sancor, but he knew that he could never turn over all of Polis Massa's records to the Imperial agent. Maneeli Tuun destroyed what evidence he could, then provided only the minimum to Sancor in order to keep information on Padme's presence on Polis Massa a secret. After Sancor was killed while fighting Obi-Wan, Maneeli Tuun remained behind to cover up Sancor's death, and further safeguard any information on Padme' and the Jedi Order. He later explained to Inquisitor Malorum that Sancor had accidentally fallen to his death. (VD3, LJ2, LJ4)

Xizor sent Guri as an emissary to Ororo, and part of her message was the elimination of certain high-ranking Ororo officials. Tugay was one of the three officials eliminated by Guri. He was incapacitated by a strangle hold, then she shot him in the left eye. (SE)

Tuz
This large, obese Mon Calamarian trader traveled the galaxy with his two Gamorrean bodyguards, during the height of the New Order. Tuz was known for his boisterous nature and the military-style uniforms he wore, and often referred to himself as "Captain Tuz" or "the great Tuz". He remained neutral for most of the Galactic Civil War, although he routinely "donated" stolen Imperial technology to the Alliance. There were rumors that Tuz had a long history with Admiral Ackbar, but neither being chose to comment on this. Captain Tuz agreed to take part in a bold plan that was devised by Vice Admiral Wirriz and his advisor, a man named Fortune. The plan called for Tuz to take advantage of several contacts he had made within the Empire's military forces, gathering weapons and supplies that eventually made their way into the hands of the Alliance. Tuz was careful not to "lose" too many shipments, and the Empire was unaware of his true allegiance. (XW, XWP)

Tuz
Meaning "neutral" - or, more literally, "waxing" or "waning", in reference to phases of Rodia's moon - 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)

Tuz
This was one of the more common names given to males of the Mon Calamari race. To the Mon Calamari, this name meant "durable" or "tough". (GCG)

Tuz de ju mugee hyperspaaze?
This phrase from the Bocce language was often heard aboard passenger vessels. It translated into Basic as "Will we be jumping into hyperspace?" (GPB)

Tuzes-Adaz
This Nelvaanian male served as the chieftain of the Rokrul villages, during the final years of the Old Republic. When the Separatists established a hidden facility on Nelvaan and began drawing off the planet's geothermal energy, Tuzes-Adaz and his warriors were unable to locate the facility, which the Nelvaanians only understood as a growing illness of the Great Mother. When Tuzes-Adaz discovered Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi in the wilderness of Nelvaan, he quickly remembered the prophecy of the shaman Ovros, who claimed that an offworlder would arrive on Nelvaan and help the Great Mother return to health. Rather than killing the offworlders, Tuzes-Adaz brought the two Jedi back to his village to meet with Orvos. His actions proved important, as it was Anakin who later destroyed the Separatist facility and began Nelvaan's return to normalcy. (SWDB, CWC3)

TV-94
This tactical droid served the Confederacy of Independent Systems aboard one of General Grievous's destroyers, during the height of the Clone Wars. TV-94 was noted for its cruel sense of humor, and the droid seemed to have a sadistic personality. This droid was on duty when Grievous captured Jedi Master Eeth Koth and took him to Saleucami, where the General waited for a response from the Jedi Order. When a small fleet of fast-moving ships entered the system, TV-94 warned Grievous that the Republic ships were mich faster than his own destroyer. Following Grievous's orders, TV-94 waited aboard the destroyer, so that he could spring a trap on any Jedi who tried to rescue Master Koth. Among the Jedi who attempted the rescue was Anakin Skywalker, who deftly used his lightsaber to sever TV-94's arm, preventing the droid from activating the torture device that was holding Master Koth. The Jedi proved to be too powerful for TV-94 and the droids, and Master Koth was soon freed. (CWT31)

Tvrrdko
This ancient Wookiee was the father of Tojjevvuk. After his son's death in a fight with Chewbacca, Tvrrdko vowed to exact a measure of revenge against his family. When a group of slavers came to Kashyyyk to capture Wookiees, they captured Tvrrdko's family. Tvrrdko also gave them Chewbacca's location. Chewbacca was catured by the Trandoshan slaver Ssoh, but eventually escaped. After learning of Han Solo's exploits in freeing the Wookiees in Tvrrsko's family, and then hearing of Chewbacca's bravery during the Galactic Civil War, Tvrrdko cancelled his vendetta against Chewbacca's family. Tvrrdko even went so far as to honor the Wookiee who saved his clan by carving Chewbacca's likeness in the wroshyr tree his family lived in. (C)

Tvurl, Glamaxon
This Barabel was one of the many beings who fought in Gargonn the Hutt's gladiator pit, located deep below the surface of Nar Shaddaa, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. He lost his right arm during one particularly intense match, only to find himself pitted against a pair of mutant akk dogs. Glamaxon was saved from certain death by the intervention of Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Depa Billaba, who were on Nar Shaddaa investigating the trafficking of the altered akk dogs. (ETM)

Twa'jani
This Twi'lek ceremony marked an offworlder as an honorary member of a clan. The term Twa'jani translated into Basic as "the ritual of lasting welcome." (ROP)

Twang, Dyslogia
This immense alien was a noted social reporter, working for Coruscant-based HoloNet news agencies during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Dyslogia Twang's style was abrasive at best, since anything that clashed with his "sensibilities" was roundly trashed in his reports. His vocabulary was filled with quirky and pandering phrases like "infratacky" (which meant that something was so tacky as to visible beyond the normal spectrum of light) and "splendiforous", and he often referred to his readers as "my darlings" and "sweeties." (HNN5)

Tweare
The skin of this creature, native to the planet Aviprine, was prized for its warmth and wondrous appearance. (APS)

Twee
This was a term used by many starfighter pilots of the Galactic Alliance's naval forces to describe the Aleph-class starfighter. The nickname stemmed from the fighter's apparent resemblance to a Twi'lek wearing a pair of earmuffs. (LF1)

Tweego
This male Rodian was a big-game hunter who spent a good of time hunting in the wastelands of Tatooine, where he refined his skills and lived a reclusive life. He was exiled from his family's home on Rodia after a rival disgraced him in combat, forcing him to take up residence on Tatooine. He first met Loruna Scather when he rescued her from a speeder accident near Mos Entha, several years before the Battle of Yavin. While helping her recover from her injuries, Tweego salvaged her speeder, and used the credits to hire a bounty hunter to kill the rival who had ruined his life.

Once she had recovered, Scather came to understand Tweego's formidable skills as a hunter. Tweego himself became fond of Scathe, and the pair formed a lasting relationship. Thus, it came as no surprise when Tweego was offered - and accepted - a position as one of the Azure Cabal's chief lieutenants. (SWGAL)

Tweezer
This was a slang term used by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe a battle droid. (CWTV05)

Twenty-Fifth Battle of Zehava
This battle for control of the city of Zehava was sparked by small skirmishes between neighboring Daan and Melida sectors. After the prior battle, the city had been divided into sectors, based on which faction held which areas. Daan and Melida lived side-by-side for several months before the Twenty-fifth Battle erupted. (DOD)

Twik'Gar
This alien was one of the many criminals who found a home on Nar Shaddaa, during the years surrounding the Jedi Civil War. (KOTOR2)

Twi'lek
This alien race was native to the planet Ryloth, and was characterized by their smooth, pointed heads and twin lobes protruding from their heads. Often called head tails, these lekku contained additional sensory nerves and were very sensitive, and were thought to be errogenous zones. Most Twi'leks had two lekku, known as tchin and tchun, or tchun-tchin when spoken of as a pair. Rare variants had a single lekku or up to four. Each lekku was filled with muscles, and stored in the cells of the lekku were the Twi'lek's deepest memories. Twi'leks often used subtle twitches and flexings of their lekku as a form of communication, allowing them to send subtle messages without being discovered. The average Twi'lek had close-set, pig-like eyes, and the mouth of a Twi'lek was filled with rows of pointed teeth. For many generations, female Twi'leks were forced to have their teeth sanded flat, in order to prevent them from biting their mates. Twi'leks also had multiple stomachs, and could feed on almost anything, from the fungi that grew on Ryloth to the cowlike rycrits. The skin coloration of a Twi'lek varied by their race, with all shades of the rainbow represented, as well as white and black. Male Twi'leks had ears that were humanoid in shape, while females had cone-shaped ears. Note that other sources indicate that the "ear cones" of female Twi'leks were actually a kind of torture device used to keep slaves and dancers from acting against their masters.

Twi'leks lived in clans which were governed by a five-member group known as a head-clan. In order to distinguish themselves, the members of the clan appended their clan name to their given name, as in the name Koh'shak. This combined name had a definite meaning, and subtle changes in pronunciation could be incurred by the addition of the clan name. Population control was part of the survival of the Twi'lek race, because their entire civilization existed on the terminus between the light and dark sides of their tide-locked homworld. The size of a given warren often dictated its maximum population, although Twi'leks were not above killing off the weak in order to maintain a safe number in each warren. A Twi'lek individual often adapted their full name to indicate the true, or more flattering, actual name. One example of this was in the name Nawara Ven. A member of the Ven clan, his full name should have been Nawara'ven. However, when translated, this name meant "tarnished silver." His family adapted his full name to be Nawar'aven, which translated to "good speaker," or, more literally, "silver-tongued." Twi'leks often belittled one another by using modified variations of their full names.

As a people, the Twi'leks were relatively primitive, with much of their energy being created through the harnessing of wind power. Very little industry was based on Ryloth, although there was a booming business in the manufacture and sale of ryll spice. Slavery was also a fact of life among the Twi'leks for many generations, with families selling off more attractive or skilled members in order to generate a profit. The slave trade was halted several years after the Battle of Endor, but the production of ryll remained a viable source of income. Because of their history of slavery and spice trafficking, Twi'leks were generally regarded as untrustowrthy by other beings, a belief that was not contradicted by their otherwise sly and cunning natures. However, more than a few Twi'leks had served as Jedi Knights and Masters during the history of the galaxy. Slavery of the Twi'lek race continued even after the end of the Galactic Civil War, but became less profitable following the Yuuzhan Vong War. (E6, COTF, SWSB, KT, MA, EGA, J3, NEGA, DIV, JB, CWTV14, FJ2)

Twi'lek
This was another name for the planet Ryloth, the home planet of the Twi'Lek race. (XW)

Twi'lek Dancer
This Barloz-class freighter led a checkered life, after being originally sold to an agricultural combine in the Tion Hegemony and being named the Harvest. When the combine traded in the Harvest for a YT-1300 freighter, the bounty hunter Xufal D'uat purchased the ship and renamed it the Venom Sting. After D'uat was killed by a fellow bounty hunter, the ship drifted for some time before being salvaged by TaggeCo. They eventually auctioned the ship off to a group of Thalassian slavers, who gave it the name Twi'lek Dancer. The slavers, in turn, were jumped by a group of pirates who commandeered the ship and sold it to a legitimate dealer through a front company. (SS)

Twi'lek Dancer
This was the name of a modified YT-1300 light freighter that was operative during the Galactic Civil War. (GG6)

Twi'lek Spinning Blades
This unusual, bladed weapon was developed by the Twi'leks during the years prior to the Great Sith War. Made infamous by the Twin Suns, the spinning blades were wielded in a sort of choreographed, dance-like attack that mesmerized victims into brief lulls. This allowed the wielder to attack with well-aimed slashes. (KOTOR2)

Twi'lek String Puppets
These strange puppets resemble marionettes who arms and legs stick out from the body, rather than laying flat against it. (GG4)

Twi'leki
This was the native spoken language of the Twi'lek people. It was also known as Rylothean. (EGP)

Twilight
This was a term that was first used during the era surrounding the Battle of Ruusan, to describe the idea that the Force was not simply made up of a Light Side and Dark Side. Instead, some believed that there was a Twilight in which there were no sides to the Force, just a single source of energy that belonged to all Force-users. The original use of the term Twilight was attributed to Lord Kaan of the Brotherhood of Darkness. (DBPD)

Twilight
This was the name of the G9 Rigger freighter that was acquired by Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano on Teth, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Twilight was originally purchased by Ziro the Hutt, who used the ship to carry illegal spice shipments. The two Jedi used the ship to rescue Rotta the Hutt, and used it as a base of operations for several subsequent missions. They took the Twilight into the asteroids near Abregado-Rae to rescue survivors of the Triumphant, and later made their way to a rendezvous with the Spirit of the Republic, only to learn that Asajj Ventress had rigged the ship with a Separatist transponder signal. The gunners of the Spirit of the Republic opened fire on the freighter, believing that it was a Separatist suicide attack. Skywalker managed to convince Admiral Yularen that he was really who he claimed to be, and was allowed to land in the larger ship's aft hangar bay. Unfortunately, a vulture droid that was shot down while attacking the Twilight crashed into the hangar bay ahead of them, forcing Anakin to abort the rendezvous and flee into hyperspace on a run to deliver Rotta directly to his parent, Jabba. (CWN, CWVG, CWTV02)

Twilight Class
This was the nickname used by a group of students at the Galactic Outdoor Survival School who graduated from GOSS twelve years before the Battle of Yavin. As a unit, the Twilight Class was also known as Team 8. They worked well together during their education and training, and completed their final survival examination in 103.7 local hours, more than a day ahead of the record completion time. The class was notable for many reasons, not the least of which was the fact that eight of its twelve members went on to become part of the Alliance's Eclipse Team, including Adazian Liebke and Xenon Nnaksta. Three others joined the Alliance as well, but were killed in action. The remaining member of the Twilight Class, Kiras Torla, disappeared into Wild Space.

GOSS leader Barosa Warren developed a vicious rivalry with Sisquoc, which later spread to include those students who joined the Alliance, forging a rift that only widened over time. (AIR, OWS)

Twilight Fountain
This fountain was located in Talo Square, in the city of Sath on Samaria, during the early years of the New Order. The fountain was noted for the way that its waters changed colors, from aquamarine to orange to blue over a period of a few seconds, creating a visually pleasing experience to go along with the splash and spray of water. (LJ6)

Twilight Gardens
This was the name of the section of Kashyyyk forest which exists one level up from the Shadow Forest. (TT)

Twilight Jumper
This highly-modified Ghtroc 720-class freighter was a basic, durable ship which passed through a number of owners without any modifications. This unusual characteristic, coupled with the fact that it was abused by its owners over the years, made it a dubious bargain at Fizzi's Slightly Used Starships. Garginoolaara could not find a way to repair its power system, which tended to drain fifty percent faster than normal. (SWJ9)

Twilight Lands
This was one of the names used to describe the barely-habitable regions of the planet Ryloth that lie along the terminator line between the light and dark sides of the planet. Most Twi'lek settlements were located within the twilight lands. While the twilight lands were cool enough to support life, they were constantly scoured by heat storms that blew over the sunward side. (TS)

Twilight Lizard
A reptile native to the moon Yavin 13, the four-legged twilight lizard came out only at night to hunt for its prey. They were effective at collecting and retaining water, can could carry their own weight in water to survive long periods of drought. (GG2)

Twilight Sailer
This Eleanor Propulsion sail barge was used by the ancient Hutts as a mode of transportation. It measured 25 meters in length, and required a crew of ten to operate. Each Twilight Sailer could transport up to 150 guests, and 135 metric tons of cargo. These opulent ships were often armed with a pair of heavy blasters, to protect the Hutts who traveled in them. (TOJC)

Twilight Squadron
This was the name of Biggs Darklighter's TIE Fighter squadron, during his brief period of service to the Empire aboard the Rand Ecliptic. (SWED)

Twilight Squadron
This group of sharpshooters was part of the Alliance Special Forces Eclipse Team. (GG12)

Twilight Star
This independently-owned transport ship was one of many that plied the spacelanes of the Cularin System, during the final years of the Old Republic. Her pilot, despite being independent, was not part of the majority who recognized that Nirama had always acted in the best interests of Cularin. When the Cularin System seceded from the rest of the galaxy in the wake of the Clone Wars, the Twilight Star's captain openly stated that Nirama was just as bad as Riboga, a comment that earned him the ire of his fellow pilots. His disappearance shortly afterward came as no surprise to the other pilots. (LFCW)

Twilight Vir Vur
This was a dark-furred species of vir vur that was native to the moon Rori. (SWG2P)

Twilight's Kiss
This was one of three luxury liners that were owned by Janvar Jan and Cularin Star Tours, during the last years of the Old Republic. Like her sister ships, the Crest of Dawn and the Perihelion, the Twilight's Kiss was a top-of-the-line Koensayr Star Yacht that was outfitted with special communications and tracking gear that allowed CST to monitor and track the ship's position in the Cularin System. Because of the strange disapperance of the Cularin System, as well as the growing tensions between the Old Republic and the Separatists, the vessels were equipped with independently-powered emergency transmitters that could be used in an emergency to call the CST support vessel Starchaser IV for rescue.

On one of her first voyages, the Twilight's Kiss was rented by Lord Sargo VenHalgon and his entourage, who wished to go on a safari to some of Cularin's most exotic locations. However, the royals became lost and were unable to return to the ship at the pre-arranged time. This prompted VenHalgon's droid, LF-R3D, to send out a distress call to the Starchaser IV. (REPL)

Twiller
This was the name use to describe those Cranscoc individuals who could manipuate their unusual, fluid-based technologies. These twillers were responsible for the unique, easily-retooling manufacturing lines established at Spaarti Creations, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The twillers worked at strange consoles that many described as a muddy volcano, from which oozed green paste. As the twillers manipulated the flow of the green paste, the machines on the manufacturing lines could be directed to perform different activities. In this way, a Spaarti Creations line could be retooled in a matter of hours, although these retooling exercises always took place a night, after the human employees had gone home. (SWI68)

Twin
This was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife. In this case, a female will take on their husband's grandfather's name for official matters. The name Twin indicated an individual who was blessed, beloved, or fortunate. (GCG)

Twin
This Cerean teenager was the girlfriend of the techrat Skeel, until Skeel was killed in a swoop crash. She turned to Maj-Odo-Nomor, who immediately returned her affections. This angered his own girlfriend, Slyvn, and forced her to rethink her loyalties. Meanwhile, to protect his "investment," Ephant Mon took Maj, Twin, and Sylvn to Tatooine for safe keeping. They stowed away on a transport ship, but were sharing the ship with divvik pupae. The pupae hatched into adults, threatening them all until Ki arrived to rescue them. (PTR)

Twin Gods
This was the term used by the Yuuzhan Vong to describe the gods Yun-Harla and Yun-Yammka. (NJOSB)

Twin Ion Engine
This was the sublight propulsion system used by Sienar Fleet Systems on the TIE Fighter and its many variants. These engines, such as the P-s4 unit used on the first TIE Fighters, pushed ion energy through a complex system to create huge amounts of thrust, giving the TIE Fighter enough speed and maneuverability to handle itself in a dogfight. (SCRE, SWSB, EGV)

Twin Nebulae
Located in the Greater Javin area of the galaxy, the Twin Nebulae were known as the Kiax and Ivax Nebulas, although they were actually part of a single, irregular nebula. Included in the boundaries of the Twin Nebulae was the original star that created the vast clouds, although it was now a black dwarf hidden in a cloud of radioactive, green gas known simply as the Ring. Spread across the Anoat, Javin, and Yarith Sectors of the galaxy, the Twin Nebulae made space travel through the area exceptionally difficult. (WOA33)

Twin Planets
This was the name used to describe the moons of Shesharile 5 and Shesharile 6, even though they were actually moons of the gas giant Shesharile. (SWJ6)

Twin Suns
This was the name adopted by a pair of Twi'lek criminals who made a living by harrassing the natives of the Refugee Sector on Nar Shaddaa, during the years following the Jedi Civil War. Each of the Twin Suns wielded a Twi'lek Spinning Blade when they were fighting. The were among the many bounty hunters who were hired by Goto to capture Jedi Knights, but they were killed aboard Goto's yacht when The Exile escaped from the vessel. (KOTOR2)

Twin Suns Five

Twin Suns Nine
This was Tesar Sebatyne's callsign, during his tenure with Jaina Solo's Twin Suns Squadron. (DW)

Twin Suns Squadron
This was the name given to the temporary X-Wing squadron assigned to Luke Skywalker, shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong captured Coruscant. It was formed from the veterans of Saber Squadron, Shock Squadron, and other units which were decimated during the Battle of Coruscant. After some discussion with Wedge Antilles and the Inner Circle, Luke agreed to turn the squadron over to Jaina Solo, in an effort to enhance her image as Yun-Harla incarnate, as part of their plan to throw the alien invaders off-balance. The plan was two-fold: it would put Jaina in a position of authority over the Jedi, including Luke Skywalker; and it would enhance the notion that she was a twin. The squadron performed admirably, but took losses as the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong wore on. In the wake of the Battle of Coruscant and the raids into Yuuzhan Vong-controlled space, Twin Suns Squadron was regularly restaffed with inexperienced recruits, a fact that gnawed on Jaina's conscience. However, as the battle began to turn toward the Republic and Jaina gained more confidence in her leadership abilities, Twin Suns gathered more and more success. With the appearance of Zonama Sekot near Coruscant, some five years after the initial invasion, Jaina relinquished command of the Squadron to Jagged Fel, so that she could be more involved with the work being done with the living planet. Twin Suns Squadron was then combined with Vanguard Squadron, and was assigned to the Fourth Battle Fleet. (EL1, Y, UF)

Twin Suns Three
This was Zindra's callsign, as a member of the Twin Suns Squadron that protected the planet Borleias, shortly after the Battle of Coruscant. When Luke turned command of the Squadron over to Jaina Solo, Twin Suns Three became Jagged Fel's callsign. (EL1)

Twin Suns Transport Services
Founded, owned and operated by Antan and Tomaas Azzameen, this shipping and hauling operation was active during the Galactic Civil War. The company remained fairly neutral during the Galactic Civil War, but Tomaas' strong beliefs of right and wrong led him to support the Alliance. His shrewd business sense led the company into a rivalry with Viraxo Industries. (XWA)

Twin Suns Two
This was Corran Horn's callsign, as a member of the Twin Suns Squadron that protected the planet Borleias, shortly after the Battle of Coruscant. When Luke turned command of the Squadron over to Jaina Solo, Twin Suns Two became Kyp Durron's callsign. When Kyp returned to his own squadron, the position of Twin Suns Two was passed to the Neimoidian pilot Vale. (EL1, DW)

Twin Tail Fighter
This was a common name used to describe the X-83 TwinTail fighter. (SWMW)

T-Wing
A starfighter developed by the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War, the T-Wing never gained much acceptance among pilots. It was a fast craft, but was only armed with 2 laser cannons, and was equipped with weak shielding - 20 SBD primary shields and a hull rated at 15 RU. It was a three-winged ship, with one engine mounted on each wingtip. It was a 10-meter-long ship with a top speed of about 110 MGLT. (TIE)

Twingo
This Sullustan was known as a two-bit smuggler who lied much better than he smuggled. He worked with a Bothan partner named Moss Deevers. It was said that, if they actually did one-hundredth of what they claimed, they would be the richest rogues in the galaxy and would have single-handedly defeated the Empire long before the Battle of Endor. They weren't well-liked by their brethren, especially after they set the two-man record running through Lando's Folly. (VP)

Twirrl
This falcon-like mammal was native to the planet Naboo. They patrolled the open plains, feeding on small rodents and waterfowl. The royalty of Naboo maintained a flock of twirrls for hunting, and trained them for Twirrling parties. Twirrls were excellent hunters, with keen eyesight and strong legs and claws which allowed them to handle prey that was heavier than they were. (WSW)

Twirrling
This was the name giving to the falconry practiced by the royalty of the planet Naboo. Participants in the hunt used trained twirrls to seek out and recover their prey, which included a variety of small mammals and waterfowl. (WSW)

Twisted Rancor Trio
This band was popular on the planet Taris, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The band was the brainchild of Gilthos Uksaris, who created the trio in order to get a date with Elinda. Uksaris then hired the Bith brothers Ujaa and Ujii as musicians. Led by Elinda's powerful vocals, the Twisted Rancor Trio became quite popular. However, Ujaa was a poor musician, who was replaced by Loopa. Ujii then quit in protest, and Uksaris brought in Fodo to replace him. This second incarnation of the band proved even more popular than the first, and drew the attention of Davik Kang. Elinda refused to play for Kang, because of his connections to the Exchange, and she was replaced by her sister, Ashanda. (KOTOR)

Twitch
This Rodian was one of the many gladiator fighters chosen by Ajuur the Hutt to compete in his events, during the height of the Great Sith War. Twitch was an exceptional fighter, one of the best and most successful ever employed by Ajuur. Just before Taris was destroyed by the Sith, Twitch had become the champion of Ajuur's arena, although he was bested in combat by one of the survivors of the Endar Spire crash. (KOTOR)

Twith
This planet was continually at war with its neighbor, Hyabb, almost from the beginning of the Old Republic. In what became known as the Hyabb-Twith Campaigns, the ancient Jedi Knights ousted the Nelroni Marauders and freed the planet from their oppression. (TOJC)

Twizzl
This silver-haired man, a native of Coruscant, served as a Commander in the Galactic Alliance military, although he was later selected to serve as a naval officer in the Galactic Alliance Guard. A veteran of several decades of military and public service, Commander Twizzl was just barely distinguishable as a Coruscanti by what remained of his accent. Commander Twizzl was the first being to serve as the commander of the Star Destroyer Anakin Solo, on its maiden voyage to Hapes.

In the following months, Commander Twizzl found himself on a number of battelfronts, as Jacen Solo moved to consolidate his power in the wake of the arrest of Cal Omas. The ship was on the front lines during the Battle of Kuat, but Jacen took it out of the battle to pursue the Jedi Knights who had defected from the Alliance. Twizzl questioned this move, and had further reservations when Solo dragged the entire Fifth Fleet to Kashyyyk to locate the Jedi. Twizzl's concern was only heightened when Solo suggested that the Anakin Solo's turbolasers be targeted on the planet Kashyyyk, to burn the planet to the ground rather than lose it to The Confederation. His concern turned to stunned silence when Solo suggested that the burning of Kashyyyk would serve as a message to the rest of the galaxy, a reminder of what might befall any world that chose to defy the Galactic Alliance. Twizzl carried out the orders, but only because he could not find any military reason to argue against them.

It was during the assault on Kashyyyk that Solo, who had since become Darth Caedus, let his guard drop. His former apprentice, Ben Skywalker, lashed out with his lightsaber, hoping to kill Solo in revenge for the death of his mother. Unfortunately, Skywalker's attack was off-target, catching Twizzl across the chest and slicing the man in half. Twizzl was later replaced by Captain Kral Nevil. (LF3, LF4, LF6, LF7)

Twlight Night
This term was used on the moon Yavin 4 to describe the period of nightfall that occurred when the moon faced away from the sun but the gas giant Yavin was still in sight. Twilight night lasted until Yavin itself settled below the horizon, signalling the onset of dark night. (PJSB)

Two Injured Men and a Droid Shuttle Service
This was the tongue-in-cheek name used by Kyle Katarn to describe the efforts of himself, Jagged Fel, and C-3PO to pilot the Millennium Falcon during the mission to rescue Allana from the Anakin Solo, during the height of the war between the Galactic Alliance and The Confederation. Allana had been kidnapped by her father, Jacen Solo, who threatened to kill the girl if her mother, Tenel Ka, didn't return the Hapes Consortium to the Galactic Alliance.

Two-Guns, Longo
This male Clantaani was a noted pirate who often worked for Gardulla the Hutt, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Because of his work for Gardulla and evidence that implicated him in a number of thefts, Jabba the Hutt issued a bounty for his capture shortly after the Battle of Naboo. Jango Fett claimed the bounty on Longo Two-Guns shortly afterward, in order to gain an audience with Jabba. Jango ended up killing Longo, and brought him to Jabba in order to question the Hutt about his relationship with Komari Vosa and the Bando Gora cult. Jabba paid Jango for the bounty, and told him that he had never dealt with the Bando Gora, pointing him to Gardulla for more information. (BH)

Two-Hand
A card game played in many backwater casinos. (SWJ14)

Two-headed Tortuce
Native to the planet Canastra IV, this two-headed amphibian was one of the few multi-brained creatures found in the Core region. Resembling a turtle with two necks, the two-headed tortuce had several different subspecies, each adapted to a different biosphere. One species lived deep in the ocean, while another lived on land. They lacked any real predators, and could live for more than 100 standard years. While not aggressive, tortuces were killed for their tasty flesh. This harvest was made simple by the fact that they lived in large groups and were generally slow-moving. The government of Canastra IV had tried unsuccessfully to ban the harvest of this unusual creature. (COG)

Twolz
This smuggler was Dannen Lifehold's mentor. A decent man, Twolz took in Lifehold after discovering the youth stowed away on his ship.

A skilled pilot, Twool later was added to the members of the Red Sword Flight, during an attempt to capture or eliminate Jacen Solo. Twool was also named to serve as Rakehell Six on a mission to disable Centerpoint Station. Unfortunately, Twool was among the handful of Rakes who were shot down and killed in the fighting. (DN1, LF7)

Two-timer
This was a slang term used by the galaxy's bounty hunters to describe any wanted individual who had two separate bounties posted on their head. (GG10)

Two-wave Gravshock Device
This Imperial weapon, which could be housed inside the shell of a Torpedo Sphere, localized a nearby planet's gravitational field, causing artificial earthquakes and other seismic disasters. While incredibly effective, these devices were also incredibly expensive to power and operate. The localization of the planet's gravity also caused nearby starships, including the torpedo sphere, to experience rapid and random orbital shifts, making the weapon dangerous to use. These devices were known as planetbusters to many Imperial personnel who were familiar with their usage. In an effort to experiment with the device and refine its requirements and capabilities, Imperial scientists set out to build small-scale versions, which were used to assist mining operations in cracking asteroids and smaller pieces of debris. (ISB)

TX-1118
This series of assassin droids was produced by MerenData for use by the Empire. Roughly humanoid in shape, the TX-1118 was designed with a variety of on-board weapons systems. It was originally marketed as a solider but was priced too high, and MerenData found themselves with a surplus of droids in their warehouses. In order to recover their development costs, MerenData reprogrammed the droids to eliminate the ethics programming and turn the TX-1118 into an assassin that would kill any being they were told to. This droid, known as the Terminax, was armed with a blaster rifle in one arm and a fragmentation grenade launcher in the other. The TX-1118 was known for its loyalty. Note that the Arms and Equipment Guide indicates that this droid was developed by MerenData Termina. Also note that Wretched Hives of Scum and Villiany indicates that the TX-1118 was built by Terminax. (WSV, AEG)

TX-130
This was the basic model of Saber-class fighter tank produced by Rothana Heavy Engineering during the Clone Wars. Developed for use by the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic, the 8.2-meter-long tank was an example of the speed at which Rothana was able to take a prototype and bring it to full production. The TX-130 could perform a number of different missions, from defending perimeters to leading hit-and-run attacks. These craft were armed with a pair of heavy laser cannons, a turret-mounted medium double-laser cannon, and a thermal detonator missile launcher. Other weapons configurations were also possible, depending on the specific arena into which the TX-130 was deployed. In addition to a modified Phase 3 deflector shield generator, the TX-130 had reactive composite hull plating, giving it exceptional protection for those brief periods when the shields were recharging. The TX-130 required a pilot, navigator, and a gunner to operate, and could move across the battlefield at speeds aproaching 190 kilometers per hour. The Jedi Knights also used their own versions of the TX-130 tank, often modifying them for their own use. One the most common of these modifications was the use of an astromech droid in place of the gunner station, providing navigation capabilities during solo missions. (OWS, WOTC)

TX-130S
This was one of the many variants on the high-powered Saber-class repulsor tank that was produced by Rothana Heavy Engineering, in support of the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic. One of the most versatile vehicles in the Old Republic's arsenal during the Clone Wars, the TX-130S was armed with a pair of heavy laser cannons and a missile launcher. One of the more devastating weapons it could launch was a computer-guided missile that was armed with a thermal detonator in its nose cone. A number of these repulsor tanks survived the Clone Wars and found their way into the hands of the Alliance, and a handful of these were deployed to the Alliance's Uratai Basin Base on Turak IV, some eighteen months after the Battle of Yavin. (SWI62, OWS)

TX-130T
This version of the Rothan Heavy Engineering Saber-class battle tank was designed with additional shielding to allow it to penetrate enemy positions. A number of these repulsor tanks survived the Clone Wars and found their way into the hands of the Alliance, and a handful of these were deployed to the Alliance's Uratai Basin Base on Turak IV, some eighteen months after the Battle of Yavin. (SWDB, OWS)

This Incom power generator was used on the Storm IV cloud car. (EGV)

TX-20
This Separatist tactical droid was placed in command of the invasion of the Twi'lek city of Nabat, on the planet Ryloth, during the height of the Clone Wars. TX-20 and its forced installed a system of anti-aircraft proton cannons within the city limits, then used the city's inhabitants as a living shield, in an effort to prevent the Grand Army of the Republic from capturing or destroying the weapons. TX-20 reasoned that neither the clone troopers nor their leaders, the Jedi Knights, would risk the lives of the Twi'leks in order to reach the weapons. TX-20 put this plan together after researching the Jedi Knights, and had planned much of his invasion using this knowledge. When TX-20 learned that Obi-Wan Kenobi was leading the small Republic force that landed on Ryloth, the droid immediately began seeking out information on Kenobi's tactics and strategies, in order to make the proper adjustments to its plans for defending the cannons. Among the droid's other tactics was the use of gutkurrs as attack creatures. TX-20 ordered several of the creatures to be captured and kept in caged without food, hoping to starve them and turn their instinct to hunt into a form of living weapon. However, TX-20 underestimated both Kenobi's resourcefulness and the Twi'leks' desire to restore freedom to their city. In a final battle, Kenobi managed to free the Twi'leks who were being held hostage, and TX-20's battle tank was overrun by Twi'lek villagers. The Twi'leks dragged TX-20 from the tank's cockpit and proceeded to tear the droid apart, leaving nothing behind but scrap metal. (CWTV20)

TX-2020
This was the designation of MerrSonn's double-laser, anti-vehicle weapon emplacement. (HAS)

TX-21
This Separatist tactical droid served Poggle the Lesser, on the planet Geonosis, during the months that followed the Battle of Geonosis. TX-21 worked with the Geonosian leader to develop and defend a new droid manufacturing factory, a factory that also produced a new droid assault tank, hoping to avoid being detected by Republic forces. Unfortunately, the factory were discovered by Republic Intelligence agents, and a trio of Jedi task forces were deployed to eliminate the factory. TX-21 was forced to send some of the new tanks into action, in an attempt to halt the Republic's forward progress on the surface. Although the tanks performed well, the attention to the ground battle allowed Barriss Offee and Ahsoka Tano to infiltrate the lower catacombs. TX-21 then directed another tank and a swarm of Geonosian soldiers to eliminate them, but was later destroyed when Ahsoka reached its position. (CWTV28)

TX-A1
This TX-series assassin droid had a "change of heart" during the early years of the New Republic. It renounced its assassin programming and decided that life - whether organic or not - was too precious to waste. This made interacting with living beings difficult, since TX-A1 was immediately recognized as a killer. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, TX-A1 worked independently from the New Republic, but used its skills to save other beings and eliminate any Yuuzhan Vong threats. (AEG)

Txer
This Psadan was the leader of the Free People, who fought against the Yuuzhan Vong who took control of the planet Wayland some twenty-five years after the Battle of Endor. It was Txer who befriended Uldir Lochett, when the human traveled to Wayland to recover Klin-Fa Gi. Although Uldir proved himself to be the enemy of the Psadan's enemies, Txer refused to assist him in capturing Gi. Instead, the Psadans helped him in order to keep an eye on his activities. Later, when the Uldir and Klin-Fa Gi were confronted with a huge contingent of Yuuzhan Vong warriors, Txer gave his own life to ensure that Uldir escaped. He and his clan set up a rope ladder for the two humans to climb, while Txer himself confronted the alien invaders to hold them off. (GMR10, SWI62)

TY44
This was one of the many moons that orbited the planet Typha-Dor. It was also one of the most obscure moons, and was named for its designation on starcharts. However, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, TY44 served as the primary outpost for the rebels who were fighting against the aggression of the Vanqors. A small base was established deep beneath TY44's ice-covered surface, until it was betrayed by Mezdec. Then, only the efforts of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, helped the Typha-Dor people establish a cease-fire with the Vanqors. (JQ7)

Tybis
The tybis was a gentle beast of burden native to the planet J't'p'tan. Resembling a large, shaggy bear, the tybis was descended from a species of vicious predators. Quite often, individuals would revert back to their savage roots, attacking their owners and causing great harm. During the winter months, tybis herds had to be released into the wild to hibernate. Some tybis were even exported to the moon Yavin 4. In the valley surrounding the Temple of the Infinite Spirit, huge groups of tybis would sleep in great piles during the winter. The predatory instincts of the tybis were often brought immediately to bear when they were awakened from this sleep. (EGP, WOTC, SWG2P)

Tyerell, Deland "Pabs"
Born on Tatooine, this Aleena was the son of the noted podracer, Ratts Tyerell. A noted podracer himself, Deland went by the nickname of "Pabs" during his racing career. He got his start with his brother, Doby, racing on backwater worlds in unsactioned races such as the race through the Great Dordon Caves on Euceron. It was on Euceron that Deland and Oby made friends with Anakin Skywalker, and Deland even defended the young Jedi Padawan during a fight with Sebulba. The scuffle which ensued left Deland with a broken arm, but this left Anakin to pilot their podracer. Their well-intentioned plan to free their sister, Djulla, from slavery nearly cost Anakin his life, as they had agreed to assist Maxo Vista in rigging the race. Only Anakin's skill kept him alive and avoided disaster. However, Doby and Deland knew that they were in big trouble. In the confusion of the race's finish, they grabbed their sister and fled Euceron.

In the wake of his father's death at the Boonta Eve Classic on Tatooine, Deland dropped his nickname and established the Ratts Tyerell Foundation, with the goal of outlawing podracing on the pretext of the emotional damage it can cause to the families of the racers. Just before the Clone War, Delend managed to convince the authorities at the Doolis Podrace Arena, on Caprioril, to cancel their annual race. (HNN4, JQ3, NEGA)

Tyerell, Djulla
This young, female Aleena was the daughter of Ratts Tyerell. After Ratts died in the Boonta Eve Classic on Tatooine, just before the Battle of Naboo, Djulla's uncle sold her into slavery in order to earn enough credits to live on. Djulla's rights were purchased by Sebulba, who used her as his personal masseuse and groom. Her brothers, Doby and Deland, hoped to defeat Sebulba at the podraces being staged against the backdrop of the Galactic Games on Euceron, some six years after the Battle of Naboo, thereby winning back Djulla's freedom. In order to ensure victory, the brothers agreed to help Maxo Vista by accepting information on the racecourse before other racers, thereby bringing the racers into a crowded part of Eusebus. However, Deland was hurt in a fight with Sebulba, and Anakin agreed to pilot their racer. Anakin's Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, discovered that the brothers were in league with Maxo Vista, and had the Euceron arrested. Doby and Deland, however, grabbed Djulla and fled Euceron in the resulting confusion. (JQ3)

Tyerell, Doby
This Aleena and his brother, Deland, were podracers during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Born on Tatooine, Doby and Deland got their start racing in unsanctioned, often illegal, podraces, such as the event that was held in the Great Dordon Caves of the planet Euceron during the Galactic Games. It was during their pre-race preparations that Doby and Deland met fourteen-year-old Anakin Skywalker. They seemed genuinely concerned that their sister, Djulla, was a slave to Sebulba, and that they were working to win the podrace in order to win her freedom. It was later discovered by Obi-Wan Kenobi that Doby and Deland had been in league with Maxo Vista and the rigging of the podrace. Their speeder was to have received advance information about the course, so that they could win the race in the end, despite the accident which Maxo Vista had planned. When Deland was hurt and Anakin agreed to help out by driving, Maxo Vista decided to use his speeder for the accident as well. This would cause an explosion and get rid of the Jedi. However, Maxo Vista was arrested before he could do any real harm, and Anakin managed to keep the disabled podracer from doing any damage to the spectators. (JQ3)

Tyerell, Pabs
see Deland Tyerell (HNN4)

Tyerell, Ratts
This perpetually happy alien was considered one of the Outer Rim's best podracer pilots. Ratts was a member of the Aleena race, and flew in a Vokoff-Strood Titan 215 podracer. Unfortunately for Ratts and his family, he was killed during the Boonta Eve Classic race on Tatooine, which saw Anakin Skywalker defeat Sebulba. His family was orphaned on Tatooine in the wake of his death. (RAC, IG1, IWE1, OWS, JQ3)

Tyerle
This woman was the Alliance agent Tiree's sister. A strong-willed woman with intense family values, she and her husband settled on Questal to escape the pressures of the New Order. Her husband, Rogan, was just as fiery, and when the Empire installed Moff Bandor to rule the planet, he began setting up resistance cells. He was eventually caught by Bandor, which prompted Tyerle to call for Tiree's help. Tiree was also caught by Bandor's hurlothrumbic generator, until a group of Alliance agents was able to rescue both men. (GCQ)

Tyestin, Iskit
This alias was used by Wes Janson to infiltrate the city of Revos, on Storinal, shortly before the Night Caller was to rendezvous with the Hawkbat. Tyestin was an exiled Imperial Senator from Bakura, who was raising funds to support the Bakuran Loyalist Movement. He was accompanied by three bodyguards: Anen, who was actually Atril Tabanne; Honiten, who was actually Falynn Sandskimmer; and Voort saBinring. The alias was, in fact, based on a real person. The real Tyestin was indeed a supporter of the New Order, but died when his shuttle was destroyed while he fled the New Republic forces on Bakura. His death had not been logged on the Imperial data network yet. (WS)

TYE-Wing
This Ugly, also known as the DIE-Wing because of its poor performance, consisted of a TIE Fighter's cockpit that was mounted on the engine pods of a Y-Wing. It was rare ship to encounter, because it suffered from incredibly poor handling caused by the construction required to mount the cockpit to the engines, and it had no shields. In certain circles, these Uglies were also known as TYE Fighters or TIE-Y Uglies. (KT, IJ, PP)

Tyffix
This unusual alien (a Gand?) was one of the many Jedi Masters who were sent into battle as Generals within the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Master Tyffix, accompanied by his Padawan Cal, were sent to Thustra with Jedi Master Tyr and his own apprentice, Pix, in an effort to force the native Sephi to stand down. However, the Sephi had other ideas, and their savage attacks quickly decimated the Republic's forces. A suicide bomber managed to infiltrate their command center, and both Tyffix and Tyr were killed in the blast. (J5)

This form of personal armor was manufactured by Drolan Plasteel some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, and was made from steel-reinforced plastics which allowed it to be slightly flexible yet able to withstand blaster fire and small projectiles. (TOJC)

Tyia
A philosophy brought to the planet Revyia some 30 years before the Battle of Yavin by a trader. The Tyia holds a strong regard for life and peace, which struck a chord with the Revwien race. It had been described as an alterate method of coming to know The Force, as the Tyia teaches that introspective reflection was the way to learn the true way of the universe. Students learn to control their own personal Force (known as the Tyia) through meditation and ceremony. (RPG, GG12)

Tymmo
This was the alias adopted by Lando Calrissian, when he traveled to Kessel to locate Han Solo and Chewbacca, seven years after the Battle of Endor. The alias was based on the Tymmo identity that had been used by Dack to escape from Duchess Mistal of Dargul, and, when coupled with the reward Lando had received for returning Dack to the Duchess, gave him a credible identity with which to arrange a meeting with Moruth Doole. Lando was eventually able to discover the derelict hull of the Millennium Falcon among the vessels that made up Doole's defense fleet, alerting him to the fact that Doole had been lying about the presence of Han and Chewbacca on Kessel. (JS)

Tymmo
This was the alias used by Dack, in an attempt to escape from the planet Umgul and the romantic pursuits of Duchess Mistal of Dargul, some seven years after the Battle of Endor. Using the Tymmo alias, Dack infiltrated the blob racing courses on Umgul as a blob wrangler, and began altering certain blobs to perform better. He then bet on his altered blobs, hoping to win enough credits to flee into the depths of space and avoid Duchess Mistal forever. Unfortunately, the Tymmo alias was eventually exposed by Lando Calrissian, who had traveled to Umgul to investigate Tymmo's possible Force sensitivity. Jedi Master Luke Skywalker had uncovered Tymmo's impressive win ratio at the blob racing, and believed that he might be a candidate for training at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. Once discovered, Dack was to be executed as per Umgullian law, but both Lando and Slish Fondine felt that it would be a worse punishment for Dack to be reunited with Duchess Mistal. (JS, JASB)

Tymp
This nocturnal omnivore was native to the planet Serat. Originally thought to be found only in the forests of the planet, tymps have adapted themselves to living in urban areas, scavenging food from any source they could locate. Tymps were especially fond of eating roti, and often destroyed the storehouses of the grain maintained by the native Seratians. Native populations of tymps continue to grow however, because the Seratians hunt their only known predator, the symer, in order to obtain their organs and appendages for use in charms and potions. Thus, the tymp population exploded, placing a great strain on the supplies of roti. (COG)

Tympanic
This humanoid female was a mercenary employed by Moff Bandor and placed into the Game Chambers of Questal. She was there as one of the chambers' denizens, ambushing hapless prisoners forced into the chambers. She wore one of the special helmets used to block out the waves of the hurlothrumbic generator. She tried to win the confidence of the prisoners forced into the chamber, then killed them when they were most helpless. (GCQ)

Tyne, Vost
This Imperial Navy Admiral retired from active duty shortly before the Battle of Yavin, having commanded a Star Destroyer for the Emperor. Tyne was also a student of the Dark Side of the Force under Darth Vader himself, and many believe it was Vader who talked Tyne into retiring. After retiring, Tyne returned to serve the Empire when he killed Arviz Linden, the director of the hyperbaride plant on Marca, and took control himself. Tyne reported directly to Aaz'del Hutrick during this time, and increased the plant's production immensely. Using the Dark Side of the Force, Tyne discovered that the Sertim sisters had decided to assist the Alliance, and had made contact with a team which had crash-landed on Marca. He laid a trap for them, capturing Darci Sertim and using her as a hostage while placing Marci in prison. The sisters were rescued by the Alliance team shortly before the hyperbaride plant exploded. It was unknown whether or not Tyne survived the explosion. (POM)

Tyne's Horky
This dusty, remote planet was located in the Teraab Sector of the galaxy, and was the location of the Doodnik Cafe. The planet was the site of many mining operations, and it was here that Imperial forces obtained nergon 14. It was here that R2-D2 and C-3PO ended up, after they fled the employment of Thall Joben and Jord Dusat. Much of the planet's industry was based on mining operations during the early years of the New Order. (DCAR, HNN4, SWDB, SWMW)

Tynial
This male Devaronian worked as an infochant on Brentaal. He was sympathetic to the Alliance, and worked as a waiter at the Pathlines Tapcafe in order to better obtain information. He was arrested by Imperial forces shortly after the crew of the Far Orbit as discovered to be looking for him. Note that The Far Orbit Project also refers to this Devaronian as "Tynian." (FOP)

Tynna
This aquatic planet was the primary planet in the Tynnani System, in the Tynna Sector of the galaxy, and was the homeworld to the Tynnan race. The waters of the planet were quite frigid, forcing many native species to develop layers of blubber or fat to maintain their warmth. The Tynnans announced their support for the Confederacy of Independent Systems just prior to the onset of the Clone Wars, when a stone mite outbreak was believed to have been caused by terrorists. Years later, he planet was overtaken by the Yuuzhan Vong during the Battle of Tynna, and reshaped to serve as a living factory for their unusual bio-technology. (HSR, AE, JE, GMR8, NECH, RCTZ)

Tynna Central Government Building
This building was located in the heart of the city of Lutris, on the planet Tynna, until an infestation of stone mites caused it to collapse. The building imploded shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, throwing the Tynnan government into a spin and giving it reason to secede from the Old Republic. (HNN5)

Tynna Sector
This area of the galaxy contained the planet Tynna. (RCTZ)

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

Tynnan
This was of seal-like humanoids was native to Tynna. The average Tynnan had a sleek pelt and a thick, tapering tail. Their hands and feet were webbed, allowing them full motion in or out of the water. Their pointed ears lay close against their skulls, and their long, moist snouts were filled with protruding buckteeth. Although the eyesight of a Tynnan was considered poor, their sense of hearing was quite acute. Like most other creatures found on Tynna, the Tynnans' bodies maintained a layer of blubber to help maintain their body temperature. As a race, the Tynnans were quite wealthy, but individuals were required to pay their dues to a state-run government that provided the necessities free of charge. Those Tynnans who desired to work for a living took on professions as artists or scientists. They were curious about the galaxy at large, and many Tynnans traveled the stars in search of new locations. As a people, Tynnans tended to be frivolous, but they were also known to be pragmatic planners. (HSR, AE)

Tynquay Skirmishes

It was armed with a single laser cannon and a concussion missile launcher. It fired on a target after it detected the target was not broadcasting on a pre-defined transponder signal. (FOP)

Type 7 Hyperdrive
This model of Haor Chall hyperdrive core was developed for use on the Silver-class starship. They were often referred to as Silver-class engines, and were classified as Class 1 hyperdrives. Many of these drive systems were used on the original Sekotan starships produced on Zonama Sekot, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels indicates that the Silver-class engine was used for sublight transport. (RP, UF, NEGV)

Type A Pulse-wave Rifle
This large, pulse-wave weapon was produced by Greff-Timms Industrial some four millennia before the Galactic Civil War. It was a long, heavy weapon which lost its accuracy after just a few tens of meters. (TOJC, AEG)

Type I Light Duty Station
Designed and manufactured by Rendili StarDrive, this small space station platform was designed for primarily civilian use. It measured 250 meters across, and was manned by a crew of 200 officers and 18 gunners. The platform facility had room to accommodate 100 passengers, and could carry 50 metric tons of cargo and six months of consumables. (HAS)

The Type-II yard had a cubic arrangement which was heavily armed and shielded but otherwise unarmed. The Type-II yard measured 1,200 meters across, and had nine tractor beam projectors which allowed it to maneuver disabled ships into berths. Each yard had a crew of 4,114, with room for 200 troops to disembark during repairs. Type-II yards also were equipped with a Class-4 hyperdrive system, which allowed the yard to make small jumps in order to ensure geosynchronous orbit and evade an attacking fleet, although the jump had to be well-orchestrated or the station could be severely damaged. (CTD)

Typha-Dor
This was the name used to describe the human population of the planet Typha-Dor. When the Vanqor began their conquest of the Uziel System, it was the Typha-Dor people who staged the largest resistance to their plans. What little resistance mustered from other worlds fled to Typha-Dor to create a larger alliance. It was this alliance that petitioned the Old Republic Senate and the Jedi Knights to help put a stop to the Vanqor aggression. (JQ7)

Typha-Dor
This planet, located in the Uziel System, was the last of the worls in that system to hold out against the invasion plans of the Vanqors. The native human population petitioned the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights to intervene before Vanqor controlled the entire system. The few resistance fighters who dared to stand up against the Vanqors rallied from a base on the Typha-Dor moon known as TY44, until Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were dispatched to help rectify the situation. Typha-Dor was orbited by a large number of moons, which appeared to be strewn across the night sky like a necklace. (JQ7)

Typho, Gregar
This man, distinguished by the black patch over his missing left eye, succeeded his uncle - Captain Panaka - as Queen Amidala's security chief, in the decade following the Battle of Naboo. During that battle, Typho distinguished himself as a warrior and commander, losing the eye in the fighting. His own immune system was not capable of supporting a transplant, even from an eye that was cloned from his own cells, and he was forced to continue life with just one eye. Despite the injury, he made his uncle proud, and later became one of the Naboo Royal Security Forces' leaders. Just before the Battle of Geonosis, Typho was assigned by his uncle to accompany Padme' Amidala - now a Senator - to Coruscant for the vote on the Military Creation Act. This assignment coincided with an appointment to the Senate Security Council, which allowed Typho to have access to better combat training. It was believed that an attack would be made on Padme's life, and Typho was placed in charge of her security. Like his uncle, Typho employed a group of handmaidens to stand in for Padme', and he chose Corde' for this role prior to their arrival at Coruscant, and event which likely saved Padme's life. Their starship was destroyed by Zam Wesell as soon as it landed, and Corde' was killed in the blast. Padme' had been traveling in a support ship, and survived the assault.

Typho remained ever-vigilant in the wake of Corde's death, and was glad to have the assistance of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. He worked with the Jedi to ensure Padme's safety during the Clone Wars, but was unable to prevent her from setting off for Mustafar in search of Anakin. Thus, when her body was returned to Naboo, Typho was saddened and dismayed. He retired from military duty, and established a security service that assisted the Naboo during the early years of the New Order. He was more than helpful when his old friend, Keets Freely, arrived on Naboo, in an effort to locate Inquisitor Malorum. However, Padme's death continue to affect him, and Typho came to realize that he had fallen deeply in love with her. After the details of her death left him with little understanding of the situation, he set out to learn the truth for himself. He believed that any knowledge of her last days would be found in the ruins of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, and set out to do what he could to infiltrate the building.

Typho knew that Padme' had traveled to Mustafar on a secret mission to meet with Anakin Skywalker, and that she had presumably died when she was strangled by someone who had a strong connection to the Force. Because Skywalker was a Jedi whom Typho had known, he ruled out Skywalker as the killer. Further investigation on the planet Coruscant revealed that the Emperor's new henchman, Darth Vader, had also been on Mustafar. Knowing that Anakin Skywalker was a Jedi Knight who could have protected Padme' against almost any enemy, Typho came to believe that Darth Vader had killed both Anakin and Padme', although he could determine no actual motive. The circumstantial evidence was enough for Typho, however, to decide that Darth Vader had to die, if only to avenge Padme's death.

His investigation led him to the ruins of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, where he hoped to learned more about Skywalker's fate. Inside the ruins, he was confronted by Aurra Sing, who was searching for Jax Pavan. During their brief fight, Typho managed to capture Sing's lightsaber, and used it to slice the biocomp antenna from her skull. Because she had no knowledge of Skywalker, and her mission was separate from his own, Typho left her alive in the Temple and continued his own search. The Jenet Losh gave him enough information to know that Skywalker had died near Mustafar, but there was no mention of the manner of his death. Information obtained from Boulad the Cragmoloid revealed that Darth Sidious had traveled to Mustafar around the time of Padme's death, leading Typho to infer that Darth Vader had been behind the deaths of Padme' and Anakin Skywalker. This knowledge only made Typho realized that, in order to avegne Padme', he might have to sacrifice his own life against the Sith Lord. Typho then set out find Jax Pavan, to use the man as bait to gain an audience with Vader.

Typho arranged to meet with Vader in an abandoned building in Sector 4G2, but he was unprepared for the Sith Lord's use of the Force. Vader picked up Typho when he entered the building and flung him against a wall, breaking several bones in Typho's body and causing severe bleeding, both internally and externally. The injuries rendered Typho all but incapable of moving. Although he was able to spit a bloody gob of saliva at Vader, Typho could little more verbally assail the Dark Lord. When he shouted that his actions were meant to avenge the deaths of Padme' Amidala and Anakin Skywalker, Vader seemed to hesitate before admitting to killing Skywalker. He didn't say anything about Padme', but instead let Typho slip away. As he died, Typho gained a measure of satisfaction in knowing that he struck a chord with Vader, and that Padme' had finally been avenged. Note that Coruscant Nights II - Street of Shadows indicates that Captain Typho received lightsaber training from both Mace Windu and Qui-Gon Jinn. (SWI57, OWS, E2, E2N, LJ4, CN2)

Typhon
This escort shuttle group was part of the task force that was dispatched by the Dimok government to intercept the refugees on the Glas during the Sepan Civil War. The Typhon shuttles were destroyed by Imperial forces led by Maarek Stele before they could locate the refugees. (TIE, TIEP)

Typhoons, Mendor
This man was a member of the Matukai, more than 500 years before the Battle of Yavin. Typhoons and his apprentices defeated a group of pirates near the planet Ord Radama, attracting the attention of the Jedi Order. Typhoons agreed to meet with Jedi Master Bodo Baas to discuss the incident, and presented himself as a man of good humor. Typhoons explained that he believed that any member of the Matukai could train a Jedi better than the Masters on Coruscant, but he demeanor gave Master Baas the impression that he was joking. However, Typhoons was deadly serious, although he had no interest in joining the Jedi Knights. (EGF)

Typia
This New Republic Senator was one of the primary supporters of the Daysong Party. (POT)

Typtus of the Thirty-Third Egg
see Typtus the First (GORW)

Typtus the First
This elderly Geonosian was the leader of the Gehenbar Hive during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was rumored that Typtus had begun stockpiling explosives in an effort to destroy the catacombs of the Stalgasin Hive, and these rumors set of an intense civil war that raged for many months. He was also known as Typtus of the Thirty-Third Egg, since he traced his history back to the exact egg in his creche. This was a fortuitous number, believed to be lucky among the Geonosians. This added to his personal aura, and made him the obvious choice to lead the Gehenbar Hive. (GORW)

Tyr
This unusual humanoid was one of the many Jedi Masters who were sent into battle as Generals within the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Master Tyr, accompanied by his Padawan Pix, were sent to Thustra with Jedi Master Tyffix and his own apprentice, Cal, in an effort to force the native Sephi to stand down. However, the Sephi had other ideas, and their savage attacks quickly decimated the Republic's forces. A suicide bomber managed to infiltrate their command center, and both Tyr and Tyffix were killed in the blast. (J5)

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

Tyrann
The supreme master of the Serpent Masters, Tyrann considered himself a humble host as well as the arbitrator of life and death on the planet Ophideraan. His warriors held sway over a workforce of slaves that maintained the drilling and water extraction equipment that supplied them with whatever moisture could be taken from the planet's mantle. Tyrann controlled the serpents with a special transmitter hidden in an amulet he wore around his neck. He was overthrown by Luke Skywalker and Tanith Shire after Luke discovered the amulet's powers. Shortly thereafter, R2-D2 discovered how to duplicate the control codes. In a battle with Luke, Tyrann lost the medallion and leapt to recover it. However, he misjudged his leap, and fell to his death. (CSW, SWDB)

Tyrannic
This Imperial Star Destroyer, under the command of Captain Nalgol, was one of only thirteen that remained under Imperial control ten years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. It was assigned to lead the task force, comprised also of the Ironhand and the Obliterator, to travel under cloaking devices to Bothawui and hide among the comets that were passing through the system during the height of the Caamas Incident. From this position, they were to await the destruction of Drev'starn's shield generator before beginning their attack. The ships would fire from their hidden position, with the intent of drawing the multitude of New Republic warships gathered there into an all-out civil war. However, Carib Devist noticed that there were several small prove ships that moved into and out of sight when they passed near the comets, and was able to alert the Republic of their presence. Once the battle was joined, Han Solo managed to get many of the Bothan clans to supply warships from their personal fleets. The three Star Destroyers were forced to retreat to Bastion or be slowly picked apart by the New Republic. Captain Nalgol gave the order to retreat, ending the blockade and bringing to a close the Caamas Incident. (SOP, VOF)

Tyranny Reborn
This wildly popular holovid was directed by Ch'been, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (HNN4)

Tyrant
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer saw duty during the Galactic Civil War, most notably during the Battle of Hoth. It was commanded by Captain Xamuel Lennox at Hoth, where the ship was assigned to the Death Squadron, under Admiral Ozzel. Lennox and the Tyrant served in the Battle of Endor, and later participated in the Bacta War, until the ship was captured by the New Republic. It was later presented to Leia Organa as her consular flagship, and renamed the Rebel Dream. (CCG3, ECH, NECH, SWI96)

Tyrant
This was one of the many Imperial escort carriers during the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Tyrant's Bane
This New Republic assault frigate participated in the Battle of Bilbringi against Grand Admiral Thrawn's forces. (IR)

Tyranus, Darth
This was the Sith title given to Count Dooku, after he became the apprentice of Darth Sidious. Very few beings knew of this relationship, although Jango Fett understood it. Dooku was surprised when he was approached by Sidious, who challenged Dooku to channel his feelings for the Old Republic and the Jedi Order into better uses. Rather than forcing Dooku into a lightsaber duel to the death, Sidious took Dooku under his wing and discussed their philosophies, ultimately coming to a point where they separate visions of the galaxy's future were melded into a single goal.

Under the name of Darth Tyranus, the Count usurped the work of Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, who had been a confidante of Dooku's at the Jedi Order. When Sifo-Dyas revealed that he had put the plans in place to create a clones army for the Old Republic, Dooku relayed the information to Darth Sidious. Sidious ordered Dooku to eliminated Sifo-Dyas and assume control of the clone project, as part of his final test of loyalty. After killing Sifo-Dyas, Tyranus recruited Jango Fett on the moons of Bogden, to serve as the genetic basis for their clone army. Working as Darth Tyranus some ten years before the Battle of Geonosis, Dooku made contact with the Kaminoan people. It was inferred that Dooku worked for Sifo-Dyas in arranging for the creation of the clone troopers who would later serve in the Army of the Republic, but this not the case.

Darth Sidious, who was none other than Chancellor Palpatine, knew that Dooku and Sifo-Dyas had once been friends. It had been Sifo-Dyas' idea all along the build the clone army, hoping that it would aid the Jedi Order in turning back the growing tide of Dark Side influence. When Sidious learned of these plans, he realized that the clones could be used to his advantage. He then ordered Darth Tyranus to eliminate Sifo-Dyas - as proof of his loyalty to Darth Sidious - so that the Jedi Order and the Republic would not find out about the clones until Sidious was ready for them to know.

Although Obi-Wan Kenobi's discovery of the clones on Kamino was unexpected, Sidious allowed Tyranus to continue to manipulate the Confederacy of Independent Systems as Count Dooku. Although Darth Tyranus was bound by the Rule of Two, it was known that he trained at least two students of his own. The first was Asajj Ventress, and the second was General Grievous. It was during this period that Sidious then turned his attention to Anakin Skywalker, knowing that young Skywalker was much stronger in the Force than Tyranus. After arranging to be captured by General Grievous during the First Battle of Coruscant, Palpatine then ensured that Dooku would have to face Obi-Wan and Anakin in battle. Although Tyranus' powers were more than a match for Obi-Wan, he was unable to defeat young Skywalker.

Tyranus remained resolute, however, believing that his Master would rescue him in the end. Sidious had no such plans, however, and went as far as ordering Anakin to kill Tyranus. The young Jedi managed to acquire Tyranus' lightsaber and swiftly beheaded the treacherous former Jedi. Palpatine then put into motion his plans to take Anakin as his new apprentice. (TCG1, BF1, E2N, SWI63, LEV, IS3, EGF)

Tyre, Arlo
This man served the Alliance as a scout during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. He joined the Alliance after the Empire destroyed much of his homeworld, murdering his entire family in the process. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Arlo and Wadie Firestone were dispatched to a remote world to investigate a loss of contact with an Alliance-sponsored archaeological dig on Alashan. He mistakenly activated the ancient site's defense systems, and was cut in two when an energy weapon fired on him. (MCI5)

Tyrel
This was the second of Belgaroth's two moons. Along with Tregan, Tyrel was a barren ball of rock which was used for target practice by Imperial gunnery officers during the height of the New Order. (CCW)

Tyrell, Bogg
This Aleen, who lived on Coruscant during the years following in the Battle of Naboo, was a cabdriver who frequently patronized Dex's Diner. Note that Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones indicates that Bogg Tyrell was a female Aleen Senator who represented her people in the Galactic Senate. She was in the company of Seboca, partaking of Galactic City's nightlife, when Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi tried to apprehend Zam Wesell. (SWDB, SWI66, IWE2)

Tyrellian Ale
A brew favored by the inhabitants of the planet Yelsain. (GG6)

Tyric
This man was the Alliance's primary contact with the underground resistance on the planet Garrthinius. Tyric was also an undercover Imperial Intelligence agent, but revealed himself during a mission to take out the Imperial garrison. (TBSB)

Tyris, Nikkos
This Anzati was one of the most powerful of the Saarai-kaar leaders of the Jensaarai, who discovered some ancient Sith teachings during the Clone Wars. These teachings were the work of one of his predecessors, Volfke Karkko, and described how Karkko was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. Tyris himself was also a former Jedi Knight, and his knowledge of both the Light and Dark Sides of the Force, coupled with Tyris' unusual style of fighting, made him a formidable opponent. This combination of light and dark became known as the Saarai, or the True Way, and his belief in its application led to his leaving the Jedi Order. Tyris and his companions were eventually located and eliminated by Nejaa Halcyon and Ylenic It'kla, but not before Halcyon was mortally wounded when Tyris drove his azure lightsaber through Halcyon's chest. Halcyon, though dying, absorbed all the energy from Tyris' lightsaber and used it to create a fist-like projection with the Force. Halcyon used it to crush Tyris. The other Jensaarai accompanying him was the husband of a Jensaarai who would become the next Saarai-kaar on Suarbi 7/5 and confront Corran Horn. (IJ, PJSB, OWS, NEGA)

Tyrius
This yellow star was the primary body in the Tyrius System, which contained the planet Rodia and four other worlds. (SCRE, SPG)

Tyrix

He was shot and killed by Boba Fett when the bounty hunter came to recover Rivo Xarran. Gaege Xarran tried to kill Fett with Chemtrox gas, but the bounty hunter's environmental systems protected him. When Tyrix went to verify Fett's death, Fett shot him with his blaster rifle. (TFNR)

Tyro
This Duros was killed when the Yuuzhan Vong took control of the planet Duro. Tyro was the uncle of Vook Gehu. (SWI63)

Tyro
This was the lowest rank among the Sith who evolved on the planet Kesh. A Tyro was generally considered to be any student who was training to use the Dark Side of the Force, whether or not they had actually been chosen by a Saber or a Master for more formal training. Once chosen, a Tyro was formally considered an Apprentice. (FJI, FJ2)

Tyrol
This small-time Devaronian criminal was known to use luma flares during a fight, as a way to incapacitate a large number of attackers. (GUN)

Tyrossum
This vicious creature was native to the lower jungles of the planet Kashyyyk. The snout of a tyrossum measured a meter or more in length, and its mouth was lined with curved fangs. The killing of a tyrossum was considered a major event by the Wookiees, and a tyrossum jawbone - known as the Talking Bone - was used by the Rock Council to indicate which individual had the right to speak. (LF6)

Tyrr, Javis
This man was a noted reporter who covered news and events on the planet Coruscant, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Tyrr gained notoriety when he began covering the events that surrounded the actions of Valin and Jysella Horn, two Jedi Knights who experienced a strange kind of psychosis and lashed out at anyone who confronted them. He also managed to be present whenever Jaina Solo and Jagged Fel went out in public, and Tyrr did whatever he needed to in order to get close enough to the pair to follow them. His ability to capture members of the Jedi Order in compromising situations earned him celebrity status, and his producers went so far as to give him a regular, half-hour news show entitled Javis Tyrr Presents: The Jedi Among Us. In order to maintain his ratings, Tyrr began to stalk key members of the Jedi Order when they left the confines of the Jedi Temple, although most of his efforts focused on Jaina Solo. Unfortunately for the Jedi, Tyrr was able to be present at the Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition when Natua Wan experienced form of the Force psychosis and set loose the various creatures who were kept at the Grand Event Center, all in an attempt to eliminate a group of "imposters" who seemed to have taken over the bodies of the Solo family. Tyrr and his camera crew caught the events that transpired on video, giving him an exclusive recording of the chaos that followed. Tyrr's report then provided footage that had somehow been obtained from within the Jedi Temple, showing Seff Hellin in the custody of the Jedi Order. Although his rhetoric had been decidedly anti-Jedi, Javis Tyrr used this footage to attack Chief of State Natasi Daala, demanding to know why the Galactic Alliance was allowing the Jedi to continue to act outside of their mandate to serve the galaxy.

Wynn Dorvan then proposed an unusual idea to the Chief of State: force the prominent members of the Jedi Order to submit themselves to interviews with Tyrr, on the steps of the Jedi Temple, in order to explain what was happening and what they were going to do to prevent future incidents of violence among the younger Jedi Knights. Tyrr jumped at the chance to carry out the interviews, although he struggled to assert his control with several of the Jedi Masters. Master Cilghal, for instance, was so composed and dignified that Tyrr's barbed questions made him look like a simple fool, and combination of Master Tekli's unease and cute appearance made Tyrr look aggressive and demanding. It was later learned that Tyrr had obtained the footage of Seff Hellin from a specially-modified Lovolol cleaning droid that he had managed to sneak into the droid pool of the Jedi Temple. What few beings knew was that Tyrr had acquired the surveillance technology for the droid from Imperial Moff Drikl Lecersen, who was hoping to obtain incriminating evidence against Jagged Fel. Tyrr had directed the droid to follow Jaina Solo and Jagged Fel after the near-capture of Bazel Warv and Yaqeel Saav'etu, but Jaina discovered the droid and managed to take it captive before Tyrr could retrieve it. Tyrr demanded that the droid be returned to him, but Jaina calmly stated that the droid had been found in Jag's limousine, which was technically the property of the Imperial Remnant, making the droid Imperial property.

Rather than admit that he had tried to sabotage the Jedi Order, Tyrr was forced to allow Jaina to take the droid away. Unfortunately, this meant that Tyrr had to report to Lecersen on the loss of the droid, although he glossed over that detail after showing Lecersen the footage. Tyrr also showed the Moff footage that he personally took, showing Reeqo and Melari Ruxon abandoning the Jedi Order on their own terms, stating that they refused to be part of an organization that was breaking the law. Tyrr admitted that this statement seemed to have been made to evade the Galactic Alliance Security forces that apprehended them, because he was later able to interview the two former Jedi. This interview revealed that the two beings had left the Order because they were not happy with the way Chief of State Daala was taking control of the Jedi.

In the days that followed, Tyrr and his camoperator were invited by Jaina Solo to follow the group of Jedi who visited the carbonite-frozen bodies of Valin and Jysella Horn at the prison facility hidden within a Galactic Alliance Storage center. When the group discovered that the Horn siblings were being displayed like trophies in the building's executive offices, Tyrr watched as Mirax Horn knocked Colonel Wruq Retk unconscious for his insolence. Rather than try to spin the story against the Jedi, however, Tyrr agreed with Jaina Solo to ask the acting Captain at the facility if the Galactic Alliance Security force would press charges against a woman who was clearly acting out of grief. The Captain stated that no charges would be lodged against Mirax Horn, at which time Chief of State Daala appeared at the facility. Tyrr continued on the offensive pressing Daala about the fact that she questioned the legality of the Jedis' presence at the facility, despite the fact that her own appointed judge, Arabelle Lorteli, had signed the writ that gave the Jedi the legal right to visit the facility. Daala backed down, and vowed to punish the officers who had kept the Horn siblings separated from the rest of the prisoners. (FJ2, FJ3)

Tyrson, Saz
This former Imperial Commander took the forces under his command and defected from the Empire after the Battle of Endor. He used his military prowess and the fleet he stole to take control of more than twenty star systems, carving himself a nice little empire. Many believed that Tyrson was behind the poisoning of Natja the Hutt, but his was later proven innocent. (POC)

Tyrus
Once an officer in the Repean military, Colonel Tyrus served as second-in-command of the Crimson Aces defense fleet. When the Empire destroyed the original Crimson Aces, Tyrus fled into the Cron Drift, where he eventually met up with his commanding officer, Gikkin, and rebuilt the Crimson Aces as a mercenary unit. Tyrus assumed command of the Crimson Aces after Gikkin's death. (GMR9)

Tyrusian Butterfly-bird
This species of avian was known for its incessant chittering. (MBS)

Tyrusian Mangler
This was a ferocious creature known for its interspecies battles. (DMSH)

Tyrusian Red Ale
This potent brew, produced during the last decades of the Old Republic, was noted for its advertising slogan, "Because yellow doesn't look good in space." This was perhaps the best things about the ale, which had a horrid smell. (MBS)

Tyruun
This tree, native to the jungles of Haruun Kal, was known for its exotic wood. Because the tyruun tree grew only on Haruun Kal, its wood was quite expensive. When used to make a fire, tyruun wood burned at a very high temperature, creating white-hot embers which lasted for hours. (SHPT)

Tyshapahl
The natives of this planet staged a peaceful demonstration against the New Order and their Sector Moff. The Moff sent his ships to hover over the protestors and disperse it. When the demonstrators failed to disband, he ordered the ships to leave quickly, burning the protestors in their exhaust wake. (RD)

Tystel Mark III
This heavy blaster weapon was produced by the Zabrak, during the era of the Great Sith War. Many Tystel blasters ended up in the hands of pirates, when they began ambushing transport ships from Iridonia to acquire them. The Zabraks retaliated by placing military personnel on their transport ships, taking the fight to the pirates. Unfortunately, many of these Zabrak personnel recognized the profit that could be made, and listed the shipments as "lost" in order to sell the weapons on the black market. (KOTOR)

Tythe
This desolate planet was the site of an Old Republic base, until the planet's government was overthrown by the Separatists during the height of the Clone Wars. Many years earlier, the once-lush planet had been virtually destroyed by the LiMerge Power corporation, which had attempted to profit from collecting plasma-based energy from its core. The mining operations proved inadequate for containing the plasma energy, and a series of nuclear explosions caused intense geological disruption, leveling much of the planet's surface and leaving it a barren wasteland. Only a handful of hardy plants managed to survive the cataclysm. It was rumored that Count Dooku established a base of operations on the planet, and it was enough of a rumor that the Jedi Order believed it was true. Upon hearing their news, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine requested that Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker be dispatched to Tythe to capture Dooku once and for all. Although members of the Jedi Council worried about such an attack spreading the resources of the Grand Army of the Republic too thinly, Palpatine insisted that there might not be another opportunity to capture Dooku. This insistance nearly proved to be fatal, as it was learned that Dooku's appearance on Tythe - coupled with that of Shu Mai on Felucia - was a ruse meant to draw the Jedi Knights and the Grand Army of the Republic away from Coruscant. It was, in fact, a clone of Dooku that was on Tythe, one of many such clones created to draw the Republic's forces into a thinner and thinner net. Once the real Dooku saw that the capital of the Republic was undefended, Dooku launched an all-out assault on Coruscant. (ROF, YDR, LEV)

Tython
This planet was believed to have been the first world on which the Force was discovered, some 36,453 years before the Battle of Yavin. Jedi scholars questioned this belief, but acknowledged that the original Jedi Code might have been formulated on Tython, in the wake of the Force Wars. According to the natives of Tython, the Force had two components, known as the Ashla and the Bogan, which eventually became known to the Jedi Order as the Light Side and the Dark Side of the Force. Legends held that the followers of the Ashla became involved in a great war with those beings who followed the Bogan, and that the victorious worhshippers of Ashla used the first lightsabers during their subsequent initiation ceremonies. The stories claimed that these early worshippers became the first Jedi Knights, many of whom later left Tython to find other worlds where they could spread their knowledge. Many historians also believed that, although the followers of Ashla claimed victory, the minions of the Bogan were not truly defeated. Many scholars pointed to the fact the Belia Darzu eventually rose to power on Tython, drawing on the power of the Dark Side of the Force that permeated the planet.

Tython was located in the Deep Core of the galaxy, hidden in the dense cluster of stars and accessible only via a tenuous hyperspace route. For many years, the planet's existence formed the stuff of myths and legends, since very few beings had ever visited the planet, let alone survived the return trip to tell about it. Explorers among the ancient Jedi Knights discovered the planet's location near the start of the Great Galactic War, and efforts were put in place to recover the knowledge that was hidden away within the ruins of the old Jedi temples. During the years that followed the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, the surviving Jedi Knights fled to Tython, in the hopes of rebuilding the Jedi Order. These Jedi discovered that they were not alone on the planet, encountering both a group of Twi'lek colonists and several sources of Force power that were connected to the planet. Centuries later, in the wake of the Battle of Ruusan, Darth Bane sought out Tython in order to find the fortress of Belia Darzu, who had created her technobeast army on the planet. (PJSB, NECH, DBRT, SWORW)

Tythonian
This was the term used to describe any native of the panet Tython. It was generally believed that the original Tythonians were of human stock, but any proof of this was lost over time. (SWORW, FJ3)

Tyu
This crimelord operated from a base on Kazlin 5. (SWJ10)

Tyunda, Bi'Dar
This ancient Cerean was credited with creating the first planetary government on his homeworld of Cerea. It was also believed that he was the first Cerean to create the wondrous patterns which were scribed into the facets of kasha crystals, allowing the artist to harness the crystal's natural energy. (UANT)

Tyus Cluster
Kinnin Vo-Shay and his ship, the Ashanda Ray, were to have disappeared in the area of the galaxy, some fifty years before the Battle of Endor. (TFNR)

Tyvark
This being owned and operated a general store in the east central section of Ahto City, on the planet Manaan, during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)

Tyvius
This man was one of the many refugees from the planet Druckenwell who tried to escape the Yuuzhan Vong subjugation of his homeworld by fleeing aboard the converted freighter Chilastra. The effects of seeing his home destroyed and his homeworld in the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong caused Tyvius to lose his mind, and the attack on the Chilastra caused him to fall into a deeper state of denial. He tried to attack the Yuuzhan Vong warriors who boarded the ship with a sonic blender, believing that the cooking tool was a blaster. Knowing that Tyvius was not Ka-Tu-Un, the Yuuzhan Vong decided to leave Tyvius alone. (GMR8)

Tyvokka
This Wookiee was a great Jedi Master who served on the Jedi Council dring the years leading up to the Stark Hyperspace Wars. Many Jedi believed that Master Tyvokka could read the future through the Force, remaining focused on the present to intuit what the future might hold. Master Tyvokka was known as a patient tracher, but he was tested in this when he took Plo Koon as his Padawan apprentice. Nevertheless, the pair worked well together for many years. It was Master Tyvokka who first saw through the false bacta shortages which were the cause, in part, of the Stark Hyperspace Wars. His steady demeanor kept the negotiations between the Stark Commercial Combine, the Trade Federation, and the Old Republic on track until Stark tried to assassinate everyone. In the ensuing firefight, Master Tyvokka was killed when the Trade Federation's battle droids opened fire into the melee, which became known as the Fifth Battle of Qotile. His place on the Jedi Council was taken by his apprentice, Plo Koon. (SHW, WOTC)

Tyyre, Valantya
This woman was a small-time, local holovid star who threw extravagant parties and mingled with all sorts of wealthy and famous beings. She also operated a temporary safehouse for the Alliance. Known as 'Vala's Place,' Valantya used her apartment in the StarTower Residences as a place to hold Allaince agents until they could be moved to the Brila residence at 16AA889 Starfield Road. She didn't use the nickname Vala as a rule, but agents who needed her help were instructed to ask for Vala and use the passphrase, "The droid sent me." (HAS)

Tyyx
This Rodian lived on the planet Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, and made a decent living selling tips on the galaxy's podraces to the gamblers who frequented the Outlander Club. (IWE2)

Tyyyn Nebula
This dense nebula was located near the planet Kashyyyk, and was known to be the home of several bands of pirates and slavers, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWGAL)

Tzarib
A planet. (CSWEA)

Tzeel
This woman played percussion for the badn Distraction, during the early years of the New Order. Distinguished by the white facepaint she used, Tzeel originally wore the paint only at concerts, where it made her face glow in the stage lighting. However, she came to enjoy the effect, and decided to wear white facepaint all the time. She was known to talk as much with her hands as with her mouth, moving her hands as though she were playing the drums while she talked. She was injected with a heavy dosage of drugs by Niklas Cories, who was trying to make it appear that she was actually her own stand-in, Rossi Kildaon, when Cories tried to murder Aquella Firth aboard the Sleemo Poya Jeedai. (WOA28)

Tzenkens
An Alliance Fleet Admiral, Tzenkens was promoted to his position as Admiral and placed in charge of the Tierfon Sector Fleet following the Alliance's losses in the Tocan System, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (RASB, OWS)

Tzeotine
This thick resin was produced in copious amounts by the plantlife that dominated the planet Parcelus Minor. Tzeotine was used by the inhabitants of the planet as a fuel source for lamps and heat, and refined it for use as a motor fuel. The presence of so much tzeotine in the plants proved deadly to the planet during the Clone Wars, when a rogue Separatist general ordered an orbital bombardment of Parcelus Minor. The blasts ignited the tzeotine that was in the plants, setting the entire planet on fire in a short time. (RDE)

Tzimernut
This tree was native to the planet Hapes. (DJ)

Tzizvvt
This male Brizzit was hiding from Imperial authorities on Tatooine prior to the Battle of Yavin. He was in Mos Eisley, trying to secure passage deeper into the Outer Rim Territories, when Luke Skywalker and Ben Kenobi approached Han Solo for passage to Alderaan. At the time, Tzizvvt claimed to have been a professor of xenoarchaeology on his homeworld of Jandoon, a claim that Solomahal doubted until Garindan produced information on an Imperial warrant for the arrest of a Brizzit named Ilna. Ilna's biography was vague enough that it could have been Tzizvvt, especially when Tzizvvt produced information on the so-called Eye of the Beyonder. Solomahal was at least convinced of Tzizvvt's ability to locate treasure when the Brizzit produced a piece of brilliant jewlery that he claimed had come from Jandoon, and agreed to fund an expedition to locate the Eye of the Beyonder.

Tzur
Originally native to the oceans of Yuuzhan'tar, the long lost homeworld of the Yuuzhan Vong, this writhing mass of tentacles was a voracious predator. (GMR8)

Tzur'qipat
This was the Yuuzhan Vong name for the technology that combined a living tzur with an qipat firewasp in a large shell, providing a Yuuzhn Vong warrior with a way of creating a smoke screen. Inside the shell of the tzur'qipat, the tzur was held in a bucket of salt water, without food. Attached to the top of the shell was the qipat firewasp, held in a blister of nutrients. The body chemistry of the qipat had been altered so that it was incompatible with that of the tzur. When the top of the shell was rapped with a Yuuzhan Vong's knuckles, the qipat was awakened. At the command "yuth ugh', the qipat was released from its blister. The starved tzur immediately consumed it, not realizing that the qipat was actually poisonous. The resulting chemical mixture consumed both creatures, as well as the salt water and the inner surface of the shell, creating a thick smoke which billowed out from the shell. The smoke was noxious to breath and incredibly dense, and Yuuzhan Vong who worked with a tzur'qipat had to wear kavaaviks to see and gnullith breathers to get fresh air. (GMR8)
