Y164
This Thalassian slave ship measured 90 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of quad-laser cannons. (GG9)

Y-4 Raptor
A transport ship built by Incom, the Y-4 was designed for military duty. It was introduced to the Empire shortly before Incom was nationalized, and so never gained much popularity due to its assumed "Rebel" creators. Following the Battle of Endor, the Imperial Warlord Zsinj began using these ships as part of his Raptors squadron, thus the nickname Raptor became added to the Y-4 designation. At just under thirty meters, the Y-4 was a small ship. Its design was simple: a thin, deep body with basic engines and weapons. The unique thing about the Y-4 was its S-Foil-controlled wings, which aid the ship when dropping off cargo. Though small, the wings greatly stabilize the transport during military missions. The primary role of the Y-4 was the ferrying of troops and supplies between starships. It can accommodate up to forty troops and four AT-ST scout walkers. These can be delivered to docking bays or ground sites by via three folding access ramps on the left side. The military version of the Y-4 comes with a pair of forward-mounted laser cannons and a recessed concussion missile launcher. A civilian version of the Y-4 was eventually produced, lacking the weaponry, armor plating, and enhanced engines of the military version. (CPL, EGV)

Y41-4LC
This version of the Aratech Conjo Y41-C2LC fighter was similar in every aspect to the base fighter, but was armed with two additional laser cannons. (TBSB)

Y41-C2LC Fighter
This was the model number of Aratech's Conjo fighter. (TBSB)

Y41-T
This was the model number of Aratech's Conjo Trainer, designed to be a bit slower than the base Y41-C2LC fighter. (TBSB)

Y4-E
This silver-plated automaton was one of the many protocol droids used by the Metatheran Cartel, during the Cartel's attempt to take control of the economy of the planet Cularin, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. Y4-E was later captured by the underground resistance that tried to thwart the Cartel's efforts. (EOS3)

Y60
This was a series of Thalassian cargo haulers. The ship was notable for the fact that its sublight drivers were mounted behind the central group of drive nozzles. (SOP)

Y-8
This was a mining vessel that was produced during the last years of the Old Republic. The Y-8 was unusual in its shape, which resembled an upright blade. The main body was made up of a central spine that contained the cargo pods and a downward stabilizing fin, with the forward-jutting cockpit mounted atop the fuselage. The Y-8 was designed to carry the mining crew and ship's complement, as well as large amounts of raw material. It was also well-armed, since the Y-8 was marketed for the mining of valuable ores, and was also equipped with a group of mining lasers and tractor beams. For most missions, the Y-8 was self-sufficient, especially when used for mining asteroids and other orbital bodies. (SWGAL)

Y-85 Titan
This trapezoidal dropship was developed by Incom Industries to transport AT-AT walkers into battlezone. Each Y-85 could move four AT-ATs and four AT-STs into position. Many considered the Empire's use of the Y-85 Titan as a necessary evil, since it was a group of Incom engineers who provided the plans to the T-65 X-Wing starfighter to the Allaince. (IWST)

Ya, Kindee

Yaai
A Carrack-class cruiser used by the Alliance, it was destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Yaam Sector
Officially known as Sector 1Y4F, this was one of the oldest sectors of Coruscant's Galactic City. It was also quite small, encompassing around eighty square kilometers. Most of the buildings in the sector were well below a kilometer in height, but were packed tightly together. The roads and thoroughfares were therefore quite narrow, prohibiting the use of speeders and larger repulsorlift vehicles. The Yaam Sector was located in an earlier time zone than the Zi-Kree Sector, near the planetary equator. (CN1, CN2)

Yaana
This Senali girl was the first-born child of King Meenon. She was sent to the planet Rutan on her seventh birthday, as part of a generations-old agreement to maintain peace between the two worlds. When Prince Leed of Rutan refused to return to his homeworld at the age of sixteen, King Frane of Rutan threatened to throw the ten-year-old girl into prison until Leed returned. When Leed refused, Frane placed Yaana in jail until the Jedi Knights, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, tried to convinced Frane of Leed's desire to remain on Senali. The Jedi staged a daring rescue of Yaana, in order to ensure the girls safety. After negotiating a new peace between King Frane and Meenon, Drenna agreed to remain on Rutan so that Yaana could be with her family. (SP)

Yaa-yaah
This pre-Corellian greeting was considered the simplest and most common salutation in the galaxy. Virtually every air-breathing race understood its meaning, even during the era of the New Republic. To accommodate those races that did not speak by forcing air from their lungs over a set of vocal cords, the greeting was often accompanied by a gentle hand gesture, in which the right hand was slightly extended with the open palm facing downward. The only known exception to this combination was the Ugnaught race, who reacted with open hostility to any being who greeted them with the combination. (GPB)

Yab
One of the family names used by the Bothan people, it literally meant "shipwright". Although it referred to starship builders, the name may have had earlier, more terrestrial origins. (GCG, WOTC)

Yabaley
This young Jedi Knight trained with Klin-Fa Gi and Bey Gandan, and was part of the team which traveled to Wayland to discover what the Yuuzhan Vong were doing on the former Imperial world. Yabaley was attracted to Klin-Fa, a fact that rankled Bey's conscience. When they trio was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong, Yabaley died during an extended session of torture and interrogation. (SWI64)

Yabbo
A slang term used by Lando Calrissian to refer to bounty hunters. (SE)

Yabeley
When Klin-Fa Gi killed a Yuuzhan Vong warrior in battle of Bonadan, she claimed that his death avenged Yabeley. Uldir Lochett never understood who or what Yabeley was. (EOV, GMR9)

Yablari
The primary planet in the Yablari System, Yablari was the homeworld of the Anomid race. A severe, planetwide drought forced the Anomid to begin colonizing other worlds in the system. (GG12)

Yabosta
A planet, Yabosta was orbited by the moon Skalokor. (GMR10)

(BH)

Yad, Moree
This female Gran and her sister, Sarhah, were noted smugglers who worked from a base on the planet Malastare during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (BH)

Yadag dakl, ignot
This was one of the most venomous curses used by the Yuuzhan Vong. (NJOSB)

Yadda
This was the Jawa word for a rodent. (T10)

Yaddle
This female Jedi Master was a member of the same species as Yoda. She was just 477 years old at the time of the Battle of Naboo, and was a member of the Jedi Council. Some 200 years before the Battle of Naboo, Yaddle was apprenticed to Polvin Kut. They were dispatched to eliminate the threat of the Advozse warlord Tulak on the planet Koba. Polvin Kut was killed in the struggle, and Yaddle was imprisoned by Tulak. Yaddle was buried alive, and only her discipline and attention to the Force kept her alive. She grew strong with the Force, never succombing to anger or hatred, and was eventually freed when seismic activity split Koba's crust. The natives revered her, but were totally unprepared for the appearance of Tulak's son, Kalut. Her control of the Force allowed her to defeat Kalut and finish the work she and Polvin Kut started.

Upon her return to Coruscant, Even Piell proposed her promotion to Jedi Master and appointment to the Jedi Council. One of her foremost critics was, in fact, Yoda himself, who believed that the promotion of a padawan to Jedi Master was againts the Jedi Code. However, Yoda was the lone dissenting vote when her membership to the Council was debated, and her membership was approved. She was known on the Council for her patience, compassion, and wisdom, and was one of the few Jedi entrusted with the knowledge of morichro. She took a delight in the training of the younger students, often overlooking their pranks and hiding sweets in their pockets. One of Yaddle's apprentices was Empatajayos Brand, and she dedicated much of her time on Coruscant to heading up the Librabrian's Assembly.

Seven years after the Battle of Naboo, Yaddle led a mission to the planet Mawan, with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker assisting her. Their mission was to negotiate the establishment of a new government there, following a decade of civil war. Unknown to the Jedi, however, was the fact that the most powerful crimelord on Mawan was actually Granta Omega. In the guise of Striker, Omega hoped to lure a member of the Jedi Council to Mawan and kill them, in an effort to impress the Sith Lord he believed to be gathering power in the galaxy. Omega captured Anakin and held him hostage, demanding a meeting with Yaddle. She agreed, and discovered that Omega was planning to unleash an explosive filled with dihexalon gas.

Rather than allow the weapon to be exploded in the city of Naatan, Yaddle drew the weapon to herself and wrapped it in a cocoon with the Force. The weapon imploded, rather then exploded, as Yaddle drew the dihexalon into herself. The deadly toxin took its toll, however, and Yaddle was killed instantly. Her body disappeared as Anakin watched, but the population of Mawan was safe. Unfortunately for Anakin, the young apprentice felt deeply saddened by her death, a death that he felt responsible for and should have prevented. (E1, IG1, SWDB, T5, JQ6, JQ7, CHRN2, EGF)

Yadfre
This Trandoshan served as the Personnel Liaison for the Gadrin police force, during the early years of the Clone Wars. (LFCW)

Yado, Iseeya
This male Gran worked as a smuggler for his sisters, Moree and Sarhah Yad, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He was known as a pilot, but could also play a number of muscian instruments. A bounty was issued for his capture by the Coruscant police force, in connection with the exporting of death sticks from Malastare to Coruscant during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. This bounty was claimed by Jango Fett, when he traveled to Malastare to obtain an audience with Sebolto. (BH)

Yaga
This was the term used to describe a single member of the Yagai race. (LCSB)

Yaga Minor
This distant planet served as the base from which the Outbound Flight Project was launched, during the final years of the Old Republic. Decades later, Yaga Minor was the sight of an Imperial Ubiqtorate base and shipyard following the Battle of Endor. According to Rebellion, Yaga Minor was located in Sesswenna Sector. The Ubiqtorate base was housed in an orbital space station which had a unique design. Extending outward from the main station were a pair of corridor tubes that connected to outrider computer stations. This design, according to Imperial documents, allowed civilians to have access to information stored at the base, while keeping them out of the military section of the station. Grand Moff Tarkin maintained an extensive database at Yaga Minor, and wanted to ensure that his private files were never found. The Imperial presence on Yaga Minor remained strong until the New Republic stormed the Ubiqtorate base in hopes of finding a copy of the Camaas Document. After the battle, in which the Republic's forces were thwarted until Talon Karrde showed up with a fleet of his own, the planet was turned over to the Imperial Remnant. The planet was then placed under the control of Moff Kurlen Flennic, who protected it jealously during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. After the lossed of Bastion and Muunilinst, Moff Flennic feared for his holdings. (DFR, TLC, REB, SOP, VOF, TTSB, FH1, OF)

Yagai
This was the native race of the planet Yaga Minor. They were considered a commodity by the Empire, which genetically altered groups of Yagai to be strong and to survive in harsh atmospheres. They were also quite intelligent, and were often used as starship mechanics. There were two distinct subspecies of Yagai: the intelligent stock, and the moronic drones. The drones were easily distinguishable by their purple skin and wild, yellow hair. Regardless of their role, each Yagai had a pair of nine-fingered hands. All of the fingers on one hand were mutually opposable, giving the Yagai extremely variable dexterity. The intelligent Yagai regarded the drones as non-citizens. (LCSB, SOP, TTSB)

Yagaran Aleudrupe
This plant produced a spray berries each year. When fertilized with the nutrient-rich slime exuded by the Morodin, these berries can be crushed and used as a catalyst in boosting blaster firepower. The enhanced berries rival spin-sealed tibanna gas in their ability to increase blaster firepower. The Krish Gamgalon herded Morodins into his aleudrupe fields by hunting them on safaris, until his operation was exposed by Talon Karrde. (SWJ2, WOA33)

Yagaran Four
This group of bounty hunters plied the Outer Rim during the early years of the New Order. They employed the Krish known as Maniac as their chief mechanic. During the hunt for a quarry near Elin Roe, Manic tinkered with the drive systems of the gang's YT-1300 freighter to help increase its power and speed. The improvements resulted in disaster, as the hyperdrive exploded upon activation, killing the Yagaran Four. The resulting explosion spread a cloud of radioactive dust over the fifth moon of Elin Roe. (CRO)

Yag'Dhul
The homeworld of the Givin race, Yag'SDhul was a small, dense planet that was orbited by three moons. These moons exerted intense gravitational forces on the small planet, because their orbital movement was in the opposite direction from that of Yag'Dhul. Yag'Dhul itself had a retrograde rotation of 175 standard hours, while the moons orbited the planet once every fifty-three standard hours. Thus, a month on Yag'Dhul was actually 122 hours shorter than its day. This created huge tidal forces that continually shifted the planet's oceans and atmosphere from one side of the planet to the other. This resulted in the displacement of the atmosphere and water around the planet, creating pockets of hard vacuum in certain areas. Many of the planet's lifeforms simply survived by traveling with the tides, while the Givin evolved and adapted by growing flexible exoskeletons that could be sealed to protect them from vacuum. They also developed hermetically-sealed cities that ensured a constant atmosphere,even during periods of low pressure.

The planet itself was located at the intersection of the Rimma Trade Route and the Corellian Trade Spine. During the final years of the Old Republic, Yag'Dhul was allied with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, allowing the Separatists to control traffic along both routes in exchange for assistance in driving off the pirates that had established bases on Yag'Dhul's moons. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Nom Anor infiltrated the ranks of the Givin and planned to subjugate the system for use as a staging area from which to attack the Core. These plans were nearly thwarted when Corran Horn, Anakin Solo, and Tahiri Veila obtained control of the Stalking Moon and got inside the Yag'Dhul defenses. Eventually, though, the Yuuzhan Vong defeated the Givin resistance and took control of the system. Their control of the system was short-lived, however, as New Republic forces eventually defeated the alien invaders and recaptured the planet. (TLC, GG4, BW, EVR, FP, NEGA)

Yage, Arien
This woman was a Captain in the Imperial Navy, serving under Gilad Pellaeon during the early decades of the New Republic. Captain Yage was in command of the Star Destroyer Widowmaker during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She was also one of the few officers who gladly accepted the assistance of the Republic after the Imperials were soundly defeated at the Battle of Bastion. After B'shith Vorrik and the Yuuzhan Vong were defeated at the Battle of Borosk, Captain Yage volunteered to escort Luke Skywalker's mission into the Unknown Regions to locate the mysterious planet of Zonama Sekot. Grand Admiral Pellaeon agreed to the proposal, and the group set out for the Unknown Regions. When Zonama Sekot was finally located, Captain Yage and the Widowmaker remained in orbit to protect against any possible Yuuzhan Vong attack. That attack came shortly before Nom Anor sabotaged Zonama Sekot's hyperdrives, when a small ship arrived to recover the Executor. The small ship evaded the Widowmaker's sensors and slipped to the planet's surface to recover Nom Anor before fleeing. Captain Yage was unable to stop the ship, and was unprepared for Sekot's reaction to the sabotage. When the living planet suddenly jumped into hyperspace, the Widowmaker was caught in its wake. Both the planet and the ship disappeared, although Zonama Sekot eventually reappeared near Coruscant. No sign was found of the Widowmaker, and Captain Yage's fate - along with that of her entire crew - remained a mystery. (FH1, FH2, FH3, UF)

Yage, Gunn "Gunner"
This woman was the daughter of Imperial Moffs Rulf Yage and Nyna Calixte. After her parents were divorced, Gunn went to live with her father, and was raised as if she were the Moff's son. Moff Yage badly wanted a son, and he deemed Gunn's birth as a minor stumbling block. Known as Gunner to her closest peers, Gunn chose to join the ranks of Imperial starfighter pilots, and refused to accept any sort of favoritism because of her father's position. In the years following the Sith-Imperial War, she was given command of a starfighter squadron, after earning a promotion to captain, as well as the respect of her peers and her father.

About seven years after the Massacre at Ossus, Captain Yage was given command of the Skull Squadron of Predator-class starfighters, serving the New Empire by protecting the planet Coruscant from attack. Yage and her pilots were on duty when Cade Skywalker arrived at Coruscant, on a mission to rescue the captured Jedi, Hosk Trey'lis. Their orders were to take Skywalker alive, as he was wanted by Darth Wyyrlok and Darth Krayt. The fact that Skywalker evaded capture did not sit well with her father, even though he had given specific orders that Skywalker was not to be injured or killed. So, when the Mynock suddenly appeared over the Coruscant skyline several weeks later, Gunner and the Skulls quickly moved to intercept it.

However, the Mynock was no longer Cade Skywalker's ship, and the Skulls were ordered by Grand Moff Morlish Veed to stand down and leave the ship alone. Despite the protests of her wingmates, Gunner ordered them to power down their weapons and let the Mynock go free. (SWLB, SWLC)

Yage, Rulf
This man served as one of the Moffs of the New Empire that formed in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Under the rule of Emperor Roan Fel, Moff Yage served as the commander of the Imperial navy. A descendant of the noted Yage family, and a staunch Imperial supporter, Moff Yage was one of the hardliners who refused to accept Emperor Roan Fel's decision to allow Princess Marasiah Fel to become his heir and the next leader of the Empire. Moff Yage himself had only a daughter, Gunn, who had been born during Yage's brief marriage to Nyna Calixte. After Calixte left them, Rulf raised Gunn as if she were a boy, instilling in her the drive to join the military.

Known as the Hero of Ossus, Yage was a noted pilot during the early years of his military career, and he was among the first soldiers to command the Skull Squadron. His own daughter later assume command of the Skulls, which made him proud but raised eyebrows among the other Imperial Moffs. His gruff demeanor came to the forefront when the Skulls were unable to capture Cade Skywalker, after the former Jedi student arrived on Coruscant to rescue Hosk Trey'lis, some seven years after the Massacre at Ossus. Gunn refused to accept his criticism, explaining that he had given the order to take Skywalker alive, and they would have risked that by trying to pursue Skywalker's ship into the undercity. (SWLB, SWLC, SWLH)

Yagen, Bovo
This Imperial Captain defected from the planet Coruscant during the Galactic Civil War and fled to the Corellian Sector with his wife and four boys. They ended up on a jungle planet just off the Corellian Trade Route, where they eventually befriended the native humanoids and developed a decent-sized outpost. The natives accepted them into their society, and eventually named the planets and asteroid belt in their system after him and his family. (CTD)

Yaght, Duman
This Yuuzhan Vong warrior was the commander of the Exquisite Death. Duman Yaght was also in command of the strike team which boarded the Stardream to capture a group of Jedi Knights. He was unaware that the Jedi wanted to be captured, and that the captain of the Stardream was none other than Lando Calrissian. Shortly after the Jedi were incarcerated in the hold of the Exquisite Death, Duman Yaght was killed when he was shot and beheaded by Tesar Sebatyne during the Jedis' escape. (SBS)

Yagmar
An Alliance shuttle group destroyed during the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

Yago, Mellor
This young man served as a Lieutenant in Rendili's homeworld defense force during the height of the Clone Wars. He was adamantly loyal to Rendili, in seeming opposition to his commanding officer, Captain Jace Dallin. Dallin had served the Old Republic during the Stark Hyperspace War, and questioned his government's choice in joining the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Lieutenant Yago had no such division of loyalties, and engineered a mutiny aboard the Mersel Kebir when Dallin tried to turn his fleet of Dreadnaughts over to the Republic. He had Dallin and Jedi Master Plo Koon arrested and thrown into the brig, to be held as hostages until the Republic's forces withdrew from Rendili, or until Separatist reinforcements could arrive. However, when Saesee Tiin refused to leave Rendili, Yago threatened to kill Plo Koon and the other hostages. When the reinforcements arrived, the Republic's warships opened fire on them all, working to ensure that the Rendili fleet did not fall into the hands of the Separatists. Yago planned to try a linked hyperspace jump away from Rendili to escape, despite the problems encountered by the Katana and her fleet. After Anakin Skywalker disabled his flagship, Yago found himself face-to-face with Dallin and Koon once more, after they were freed by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos. Yago attempted to fight his way free, but Dallin shot him dead before he could flee. (RDR)

Four thin horns sprouted from the tops of their heads, and their pointed snouts were filled with rows of serrated teeth. It was believed that the Yahk-Tosh were resistant to the mind tricks of the Jedi Knights. (SWS)

Yahrkar, Vohrkrewel

Yaka
The Yaka were a race of almost-human cyborgs, altered centuries ago by their neighbors, the Arkanians, to be smarter via cyborg implants. They were expressionless beings, having been significantly altered by the technology which dominated their bodies. It was believed that the Yaka were originally humans or humanoids from a planet near Arkania, and that the technologically advanced Arkanians took pity on them. To help them along, the Arkanians began implanting cybernetic replacements in their brains, hoping to give the Yaka heightened intelligence. The procedures worked, and the average Yaka of the modern era was vastly more cunning and intelligent than they appeared. (DE1, EGA, FJ3)

Yakan
This was the native language of the Yaka race. (EGP)

Yakaro, Macy
This rotund man was one of the many independent pilots who made a meager living the Moddell Sector of the galaxy, during the early years of the New Republic. He supplemented his income by working as a tour guide on the Forest Moon of Endor, offering his services to the visitors who passed through Salfur's Trading Post. He sold his services to a group of treasure-seekers who were following the story of the pirate ship Skewer, in search of the Ayrou Tessent, but he was captured by a tribe of renegade Ewoks who captured him and cooked him alive over an open fire. (GMR9)

Yakez
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer was the flagship of the New Republic's Fourth Battle Group's Task Force Apex. It was under the command of Farley Carson during the Black Fleet Crisis. During the Battle of N'zoth, the Yakez was caught between two Yevethan Aramadia-class thrustships. They combined their firepower at the ship's forward hull. When the bow shields collapses, the Yakez's forward weapons hold ignited. The ship was broken in two by the explosion, and all hands were lost. (TT)

Yalandross PowerMasters
This weapons manufacturer specialized in a variety of vibrobladed daggers and knives, including a series of double-bladed weapons. (FOP)

Yalara
This planet was once the homeworld of primitive species that was not ready to be integrated into galactic society. For this reason, the Jedi Master Brode Kel Verdox harnessed the power of the planet to create a cloaking device, hiding the entire planet from discovery. However, some ten years after the Battle of Endor, the planet was discovered by Imperial forces that were allied with the Disciples of Ragnos. Jaden Korr was dispatched to the planet to ensure that the cloaking device didn't fall into the wrong hands. He managed to defeat the guards and destroy the device, ensuring that the technology was never put to another use. (JKA, JKAP)

Yal'avi'kema
This Chiss served as the Chief Engineer aboard the Springhawk, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Yal'avi'kema was assigned by then Force Commander Thrawn to discover the workings of the pseudograv-field generator that was developed by the Vagaari, so that the Chiss could steal the device and reverse-engineer the technology for themselves. They first had to figure out a way to attach it to the Springhawk's hull, so that it could be transported back to Chiss space. (OF)

Yald
This New Republic heavy cruiser was the flagship of the fleet assembled to attack the Yuuzhan Vong at Corellia. The plan was to have the Yald, under the command of Commodore Brand, lead a mixed fleet of Republic and Hapan ship to Corellia and attack the Vong before they could launch their own assault. The entire plan hinged on the Vong attacking Corellia, which turned out ot be a feint when they actually took Fondor. In the wake of the Battle of Fondor, the Yald was recalled to the planet Calamari, to serve as part of the planet's primary defense net. (JE, UF)

Yalln
This was the name of an industrial planet. (AIR)

Yalnal, Nevar
This immense Ranat was outcast from Aralia, and found work as a laborer for Hrchek. When that fails, he will act as a spy for anyone willing to pay him. (CCG)

Yal-Noy
This was one of the tallest peak found in the Dashta Mountains, located on the planet Ord Cestus. Because the top of Yal-Noy was often covered in snow, runoff created a swift-flowing river that brought water to the lower plains of the Zantay Hills. Thus, the hills were among the greenest areas found on the otherwise desert-covered planet. (TCD)

Yalom Yalom, Toalar
This Gotal worked with Woyiq on many adventures, many of which involved Daye Azur-Jamin, during the Galactic Civil War. He was an acquaintence of Una Poot, and was responsible for bringing Daye to Silver Station to meet with her. (SWJ6, SWJ10)

Yalu, Viith
This Yuuzhan Vong Shaper was in command of the compound established on Wayland, shortly after the aline invaders discovered the former Imperial stroghold there. Viith Yalu and his team were responsible for discovering a way to neutralize the effects of bacta, in an effort to cripple the New Republic. Four years after the onset of the invasion, Viith Yalu and his team succeeded in breaking the biochemical sequencing of bacta, and developed a virus which could destroy the alazhi plants that were vital to the fluid's production. Viith Yalu planned to bring the virus to Thyferrs inside the person of Bey Gandan, after having twisted the former Jedi Knight to the ways of the Yuuzhan Vong. The virus was implanted in his body, and was to be expelled from his pores upon reaching Thyferra. The plan nearly succeeded, as Bey was able to release a small portion of the virus before he was killed. However, the Vratix had been alerted the the threat, and burned the infected alazhi fields before the virus could spread. (SWI64)

Yammal-jell
This was one of the many unusual lifeforms that evolved on Coruscant, in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Yammal-jells lived in the open bodies of water that were found on the planbet, and became one of the favorite prey of the hawk-bat population that survived the devastation of the planet. (DN1)

Yammka
This Yuuzhan Vong warship served as Nas Choka's flagship, during the aliens' invasion of the galaxy. (JE)

Yammka's Mount
This was one of the many Yuuzhan Vong warships which was called to the planet Coruscant - remade into a new version of the planet Yuuzhan'tar - just before the alien invaders launched their all-out attack on the Galactic Alliance's stronghold on Mon Calamari. The Yammka's Mount was bedecked with the pennants of Warmaster Nas Choka, who commanded the assault fleet from ths ship. However, before the assault force could complete its mission, Zonam Sekot suddenly reappeared near Coruscant, and the fleet was called back to Coruscant to form a protective barrier between the Yuuzhan Vong capital and the living planet. This gave the Galactic Alliance an opportunity to launch a counter-attack, this time aimed at recovering Coruscant. During the battle, Nas Choka and the Yammka's Mount were ordered by Supreme Overlord Shimrra to escort a Slayer coralskipper from its position in orbit around Coruscant to Zonama Sekot. This particular coralskipper had been the solo survivor of the force which was present on Caluula when the Alpha Red virus was unleashed on the planet. Shimrra hoped to turnt he tables on the Galactic Alliance by using any surviving virus to destroy Zonama Sekot. The mission took its toll on the Yammka's Mount, as it was pounded mercilessly by the forces of the Galactic Alliance. (UF)

Yammosk
This Yuuzhan Vong bio-creation was known among the elite warrior class as the war coordinator. The creature, with its bulbous head and array of tentacles, served to coordinate all activities of an invasion fleet toward a single goal. The creation of the first yammosk took many centuries, but in the end the creature proved to be a valuable asset. It could coordinate landing operations, starfighter battles, and even full-scale seiges. It had a virtually limitless supply of energy. The creature's only solid bodily structure was a single tooth, hidden with boneless flesh. The tooth was used to bury itself into a landing area, and was driven against the ground with incredible force. Eventually, it could break through even rock and ice, and the yammosk would then insinuate itself into the created crevasse and begin coordinating the invasion forces. Any enemy ships that got too close to the yammosk's position would be rendered inoperable by the intense energy the creature used to bind the Yuuzhan Vong forces together. Like most Yuuzhan Vong technology, the yammosk kept track of other Yuuzhan Vong starships by tracking their unique gravitic signatures. The only drawback of the yammosk was that, if it were ever severely injured or destroyed, the Yuuzhan Vong war force would be without any guiding force and would collapse in chaos. A Yuuzhan Vong prefect or other ranking official could commune with the yammosk by gently touching the thick, blue vein that ran between its eyes. Once the yammosk was entrenched in its new position, it could spawn a second yammosk to assist in the establishment of the next Yuuzhan Vong base. The parent yammosk would form a mental link with the offspring, transferring all knowledge it would need to act as the next war coordinator. However, the immature yammosk still had to grow strong, and the Yuuzhan Vong discovered that they grew faster if they were in contact with living bodies. Thus, the Yuuzhan Vong began capturing beings and forcing them to remain in the nutrient vats with the yammosk, giving it ready contact with life-energies. One additional benefit of this contact was that the yammosk could sense the presence of the Force, which allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to recognize the presence of a Jedi Knight in their midst. After the New Republic began to search out and destroy the yammosk at the heart of an invasion fleet, the Yuuzhan Vong began to train their pilots to act without a yammosk's guidance, giving the pilots more authority over the actions of their ships in case a yammosk was destroyed. (VP, JE, DJ, DW, UF)

Yammosk Action
This was the codename used to describe any attempt by the Jedi Knights to capture a live Yuuzhan Vong yammosk, as part of the Eclipse Project. (SBS)

Yam'rii
A mantis-like alien race, the Yam'rii were extremely strong. They were meat-eaters. They were known as stealthy hunters, and have a good deal of technological aptitude. (CCG, SWDB)

Yam'rii
This insectile race was similar in appearance to smaller mantids. It was believed that the Huk race either descended from the Yam'rii or was an offshoot of the Yam'rii. Note that Star Wars Insider, issue 86, depicts the Huk as a race of mantis-like beings. However, The Swarm War indicates that the Huks were wasp-like beings. (EGD, SWI86)

Yanci
This young woman, a native of the planet New Apsolon, was a medic who worked for the Rock Workers some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. Yanci's skills were quite good, and it was her presence in the Rock Worker camp that helped Obi-Wan Kenobi recover from a leg wound, during the Jedi's efforts to discover Balog's true motives. Yanci was in love with her fellow Rock Worker Kevta, and was jealous of the bond Kevta shared with Bini. When Balog's forces attacked their base of operations, Yanci was dispatched to ask the Jedi for help. While she was away, the entire group of Rock Workers was killed, including Bini, Kevta. Yanci decided to remain at the outpost and bury the dead, and eventually moved to the city to live with the Workers there. She later obtained information on Oleg's activities, and provided it to Obi-Wan. (DOH, CTV)

Yander
This man was a miner who worked on Ord Cestus during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. After his first wife died and left him with three children - Tarl, Tonote', and Mithail - Yander struggled to make ends meet until he met Sheeka Tull. They fell in love and got married. Unfortunately, Yander died for years later. (TCD)

Yander
This group of Corellian transport vessels 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)

Yandi
This was the Snivvian word for "yesterday." (HNN5)

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

Yane'
This Naboo girl was the youngest of Queen Amidala's handmaidens. Like the other handmaidens, Yane' was chosen by Captain Panaka for her strength, loyalty, and resemblance to Amidala. Yane' and Sache', being the youngest of Amidala's handmaidens, were left behind when the Queen traveled to Coruscant to petition against the Trade Federation's blockade of Naboo. (E1N, JQA)

Yanee dah poo noo
This Huttese statement translated into Basic as "It's not good for business." (E4, GPB)

Yang, Kar
This Hiitian bounty hunter came to Azool to learn of the whereabouts of Guri, after the human replica droid escaped the destruction of Prince Xizor's skyhook. Yang and his own assistant droid tracked Guri to Murninkam, where she rescued the droid Doc. They followed her trail back to Hurd's Moon, where the assistant droid initiated a plan to kill Yang and take Guri for itself. Kang overhead the conversation between the droid and its employer, and executed the droid shortly after they infiltrated Hurd's Moon. After discovering where Trumble's operating room was, Kang tried to recover Guri on his own. Guri complied, just long enough to catch Yang off-guard and disable him, then she killed him in self-defense. (SEE)

Yanglan, Denno
A native of the planet Cridark II, this Imperial Medical Supervisor was in charge of the interrogation of Orn Belden, during the Bakura Incident. Despite his professional attitude, Yanglan regularly sent a portion of his paycheck back to his family in order to help them survive. After the Battle of Bakura, Yanglan and his friend, Rafe Shahverdian defected to the New Republic, primarily because he was haunted by the memory of Belden's death. He found himself being pursued by Mayr Stillman, and hoped to return to Cridark II to protect his family. He boarded the Wayfaring Stranger and tried to get home, but the ship was ambushed by an Imperial patrol ship which had been in contact with Stillman. However, a team of Alliance agents on board the ship managed to capture Stillman, allowing Yanglan to return home. (TBSB)

Yani
This woman was one of the Dathomirian Witches who served matriarch Zalem during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWIE)

Yanibar
This harsh, Outer Rim world was believed to have been the birthplace of the Zeison Sha sect of Force users. (HG)

Yanjon
This being was one of the Four Sages of Dwartii, during the earliest days of the Old Republic. (SWCL)

Yankirk Route
This hyperspace travel route intersected the Rimma Trade Route at the Outer Rim's Eriadu System, in the Seswenna Sector of the galaxy. (GORW)

Yanna kuzu peekay
This Jawa phrase translated into Basic as "I can tell you how to get there." Note that the Star Wars Galactic Phrase Book and Travel Guide indicates that this prhase translated to "This is not for sale." (TG, GPB)

Yanne
This man replaced Femon as Dolph's chief aide, during the failed Jedi's bid for power. Yanne was much older than Dolph, and was not afraid to speak his mind in his master's presence. This did not endear him to Dolph, who regretted his decision and began to prepare a successor to Yanne during the New Republic's attack on Almania. (TNR)

Yanov
Mal Biron paid a group of rag-tag smugglers 10,000 credits to steal this Imperial customs frigate, shortly before the Battle of Endor. It was armed with four laser cannons and a proton torpedo launcher. (SSR)

Yansan
This Ho'Din was an ecology student who hated the "inherent evils" of technology. Despite his hatred of technology, he enrolled at the Traval-Parcor System Institute of Technology to learn everything he could, then took his education and used it to disable starships. For an unknown reason, he focused his efforts on Alliance starships during the early years of the Galactic Civil War, causing the deaths of a multitude of personnel when their starships were destroyed. This earned Yansan a high position on the Alliance's most-wanted list. (AIR)

Yanskac
This deadly creature was a source of food to the Yuuzhan Vong. A ridge of eight-centimeter-long spines ran along its dorsal surface, each spine a hollow needle used to inject poison into its prey. The tail of the yanskac was also used as a weapon, whipping the barbed tip at its target. The chelipeds of the yanskac were used to grip its prey and tear away hunks of flesh to consume. Yuuzhan Vong warriors often consumed yanskacs as a source of nourishment as well as a trial which proved the warrior had come a long way toward perfection. The yanskac flesh was seared over an open flame, while the innards were discarded. Once the flesh inside the chelipeds swelled and burst the shell, the meat was ready to eat. (SBS)

Yant, Zan
This male Zabrak, a native of the planet Talus, was one of the many field surgeons who supported the Grand Army of the Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Zan came from a wealthy family, and was trained at the best educational facilities they could afford. In addition to his medical education, Zan also studied music with a professor who once taught at the Coruscant School of Music. He was stationed at the Rimsoo Seven military hospital on the planet Drongar two years after the Battle of Geonosis, where he became fast friends with Jos Vondar. In order to relieve the stress of field surgery, Zan Yant spent his downtime playing his quetarra. His skills as a surgeon were surpassed only by his skill as a musician, and it never failed to amaze Jos that Zan had not taken up a career in music. He used the music to soothe his mind and nerves after surgery, and the music was one of the few things that kept him sane during the horror of the Clone Wars. When the Rimsoo Seven facility was attacked by Separatist forces, Zan Yant and the rest of the doctors grabbed their go-bags and got ready to evacuate the location and move to a new one. In the chaos of trying to reach his transport, however, Zan dropped the case containing his quetarra. He was forced to remain on the transport, knowing that it would be suicidal for himself and the other to try and recover it. Much to his relief, though, Den Dhur was rushing to the transport just behind him, and managed to recover the quetarra before leaping into the transport. Zan was eternally grateful to the Sullustan, and vowed never to forget him. Zan's happiness was cut short when, just after take-off, the transport was hit by a Separatist missile. The shrapnel that filled the ship penetrated his spinal cord just below the neck, severely damaging his brain and killing him also instantly. It was of little consolation to the members of Rimsoo Seven that Zan had died happy, knowing the quetarra was safe. (MBS)

Yanth
This 500-year-old Hutt was a vigo of the Black Sun organization shortly before the Battle of Naboo, having survived Darth Maul's virtual destruction of the organization. He controlled several upscale bars and restaurants on Coruscant, including the Tusken Oasis, and was a collector of fine antiquities. He was known to be in the market for an authentic Jedi Holocron, and learned that Lorn Pavan might be in possession of one. However, Lorn was unable to seal a deal with Zippa the Toydarian, and the chain of events eventually led to Lorn's involvement with Hath Monchar and Darth Maul. Yanth was later approached by Lorn, who had obtained a crystal holocron containing the information from Monchar on the Trade Federation's plans to blockade the Naboo System. Before he could sell the information, Yanth was confronted by Darth Maul, who calmly sliced Yanth's heart from his body before retaking the holocron. Dal Perhi was later dispatched by Black Sun to recover Yanth's remains. (DMSH, CN1)

Yanthan
This alien race was noted for its dexterity. (TCD)

Yanto
This was the alias used by the Fry family, after Talesan Fry discoverde evidence of a plot to eliminate up to twenty key government officials, some seven years before the Battle of Naboo. (SOJ)

Yanzawa
This was the Gungan word for a cavalry charge. (GPB)

Yao
This sentient race was known for its longevity. (TT)

Yaodi
This was a common Psadan name. (UANT)

Yapa
When translated into Basic, this Bocce interrogative word meant "what". (GPB)

Yapi
This race of lupine beings was created by DakrStryder to serve as warriors and guardians. One of the most successful races engineered by DarkStryder, the furred Yapi eventually developed their own civilization, which became infinitely divided amongst itself. Factions of Yapi warriors formed and dissolved, each with loyalty or hatred toward DarkStryder, and virtually every tribe of Yapi was at war with one other tribe at any time. Despite their warring nature, Yapi maintained a period of peace among the tribes to trade and exchange information, as well as to form and eliminate tribes. The average Yapi was highly superstitious, holding the connection to the Ta-Ree energy in awe, as a power reserved only for the shaman of each tribe. When the crew of the FarStar arrived on Kathol to defeat Imperial Moff Sarne and DarkStryder, the Yapi willingly lent their assistance. They found themselves working with the Charr Ontee and the Zizimaak, even though the Yapi considered the Zizimaak a source of food. (E)

Yapota
This Huttese verb translated loosely into Basic as "to dare". (CWYN)

Yapper
This species of quadriped was native to the planet Dellalt, where it was domesticated by the native human population as a kind of pet. Many offworlders considered them to be snarling, snapping nuisances. (HSL)

Yar
This Imperial container group was destroyed near Kalla VII by Keyan Farlander and his X-Wing squadron, during a raid on the Empire's base at Kalla VII, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. (XW, XWP)

Yar
This was a universal term used by non-human races to indicate an affirmative, and was used in place of the word "yes". (MBS)

Yar, Tolik
This Oolid New Republic Senator questioned the training methods of the Fifth Battle Group even as he understood the need for it. About twelve years after the Battle of Endor, Senator Yar was a strong supporter of Leia Organa-Solo's Presidency, and defended her against Cion Marook and Tig Peramis in the days leading up to the Yevethan Great Purge. He also sat on the Republic's Defense Council. (BTS, SOL)

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

Yara
This woman was a member of Kyp's Dozen, during the period following the Battle of Duro. (EVR)

Yara Grugara: Unauthorized and Totally Real
This three-hour-long Holonet special was the unofficial autobiography of Yara Grugara, produced by the Cularin Central Broadcasting company and hosted by Armistice Gluuc-Brendlheim, during the months following the Clone Wars. The tone of the advertisements for the special was less than attractive, and showed Yara at many of her worst moments. Among them were several temper tantrums thrown on-stage when things didn't go her way, and the narration described her as the spoiled brat of the network. These adverstisements ended by inferring that there was more to Yara than met the eye, and hinted that she had a number of friends and contacts in higher places that the offices of Cularin Central Broadcasting. (LFCW)

Yaralou
This planet was the third world in the Baralou System. It was an aquatic planet, saturated with water to the point where the land acted like a sponge. (PG1)

Y'Arano, Moro
This male Genian worked as the head of business outreach for Fry Industries on his homeworld of Genian, during the height of the Clone Wars. (SOJ)

Yarar, Brimon
A middle-aged, dark-skinned man, he was somewhat obese. Brimon had short dark hair, and was a General in the Human League's Heritage Squad on Corellia just prior to the Corellian Trade Summit. He was working at the archeological dig Ebrihim showed the the Solo family. (AC)

Yara's Fortune
This was the name of Yara Grugara's personal space yacht, the purchase of which was subsidized by the Cularin Central Broadcasting company. (LFCW)

Yarchur
This was a name that was common among the Defel race. (UANT)

Yard, The
This huge conglomeration of metal silos and other scraps served as the headquarters for Syndicate One, on the planet Valgauth. Created from the discarded hulks of other manufacgturing facilities, the Yard appears to be a recycled castle. Inside, the Yard contains all the workings of a weapons manufacturing plant. A huge docking bay allows new weapons to be transported out to the Syndicate's customers. The Yard was relatively undefended, relying on its thick armor plating the corrosive atmosphere of Valgauth to deter any attacks. (SWJ8)

Yarda
This green-skinned humanoid was a native of the planet Solem, and was part of the rebel underground that sprang up during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Yolan Bren was one of the few survivors of Imperial Governor Malvander's subjugation of Solem. However, Yarda was killed while trying to protect Yolan Bren from Boba Fett. (SWES)

Yardle
This relatively strong liquor was popular on Tatooine during the last decades of the Old Republic. (TG)

Yarella
This was a noted figure in the history of the Hutt race. (UANT)

Yar'En
Known as the Firelands, this immense crater dominated a vast volcanic plain on the eastern hemisphere of the planet Goroth Prime. (GSE)

Yaret-kor
This was the Yuuzhan Vong version of a plasma cannon. Like other Yuuzhan Vong technology, the yaret-kor was a living weapon, grown to serve a single purpose: to expel blasts of molten material and energy at a target. Because the yaret-kor was a living weapon, it healed naturally over time, thereby requiring less maintenance than standard weaponry. (NEGW)

Yarga
This Huttese adjective translated into Basic as "hungry". (SWLL)

Yargh'un
This large rodent was once native to the Yuuzhan Vong homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar, and was maintained as an organic form of garbage disposal on many worldships. Supreme Overlord Shimrra kept a group of yargh'un in a charnal pit aboard his flagship, and he often threw unworthy individuals into the pit to be devoured by the creatures. (FH3)

Yarille
This Outer Rim world was one of many planets that were ravaged by the fighting of the Clone Wars, despite the fact that it was of little strategic value to either the Galactic Republic or the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Luckily for the natives of Yarille, the battle was short and both sides of the war moved on to other battlefields. This proved to be of little comfort, however, because the fighting took place just prior to the winter season, and many natives were left homeless and in need of food and shelter. Jedi Master Djinn Altis and his followers launched a relief mission to the planet, hoping to reach the survivors before they were forced to endure the winter on their own. (CWNOP)

Yarin
This was a race of slow-moving, tree-like creatures. (CCR)

Yaris
This elderly man was a retired soldier of the Old Republic, who took a group of freelance mercenaries under his wing during the height of the New Order, treating them like the children he never had. (SWRPG2)

Yarith Bespin Hotel
Considered by many to have been Cloud City's finest hotel, the Yarith Bespin Hotel was also one of the most expensive lodging places on the floating city. Much of the architecture was crystalline in formation, and pastel colors dominated the décor. The focal point of the hotel was a fifty-story atrium. An annual sabacc held held at the Yarith Bespin drew players from across the galaxy, and it was here that Han Solo won the Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian. (ISU, RD, NECH)

Yarith Sector
Named for Yarith Figg, this area of the galaxy was located in the section of the Outer Rim Territories known as the Greater Javin. The Yarith Sector was created when the Old Republic decided to split the Anoat Sector into two parts, each corresponding to a section of the Twin Nebulae. The heirs of Ecclessis and Yarith Figg felt that the split was aimed at limiting their influence - both personally and financially - in the Greater Javin, but earned a measure of consolation in getting it named as the Yarith Sector. The sector bordered the spinward edge of the Anoat Sector, and encompassed the Kiax Nebula. However, the border between the Anoat and Yarith Sectors meandered in and out, cutting off certain planets from existing political allegiances to minimize local power. (WOA33)

Yarkora
This was the native language of the Tarkora race, although it was never spoken in the presence of non-Yarkora. Like most other aspects of Yarkora life, the language was kept secret from other beings. In the presence of non-Yarkora, the Yarkora spoke Basic. (UANT)

Yarkora
This race of humanoids had long, sloping faces that were dominated by wide, flat noses. They had huge, expressive eyes, with wisps of hair ringing their skulls. Because of their appearance, they were often referred to as Yak-faces. Little was known about their homeworld, and individual Yarkora tended to be very secretive about its location. Those that were encountered were often found in the lowest levels of society, and the galaxy at large came to associate the Yarkora with criminal elements, despite the lack of evidence supporting the theory.

As a people, the Yarkora were believed to have descended from a species of ungulates, although modern Yarkora did not chew on their cud. Instead, two stomachs worked to ensure that the Yarkora had a steady supply of nutrients. The first stomach was constantly digesting food, while the other simply held food in reserve to be digested later. They also had two pancreases, four kidneys, and three livers, completing a system of redundant organs that allowed the Yarkora to live for a long time, often several centuries. This internal system also provided the average Yarkora with a strong resistance to alcohol and other addictive substances.

A Yarkora's eyes were unique in that they could focus across long distances, often over 1,500 meters or more. They could also focus their sense of hearing, with the capability of discerning a single conversation within a fifteen-meter radius. These abilities gave the average Yarkora a distinct advantage when working in a group of beings, and many xenosocialogists believed that the Yarkora used these abilities to exploit other beings' weaknesses. It was also believed that the Yarkora had a form of projected empathy that could be used to influence others, a fact that was gleaned from documentation obtained from the few Yarkora that were encountered in the galaxy.

It was believed that Yarkora gave birth to a single, live child with each pregnancy, and that all children were doted on as if they were the firstborn in their family. In this way, the young were trained to be solitary, focusing only on themselves. (CCG7, EGA, NEGA)

Yarlubb River
This winding river was found on the Forest Moon of Endor, between the Ewok settlements of Red Bush Grove and Bright Tree Village. (SWDB)

Yarnak
A creature whose flesh was often roasted and eaten. (TJP)

Yarnak Gang
This pirate gang operated during the early years of the New Order. (AIR)

Yarnil
This backwater world served as a minor agricultural center in the Outer Rim Territories. (CCW)

Yarno
A roulette-like game of chance. (GMS)

Yaronn
This planet was a backwater world covered almost entirely with ocean. One small continent supports a dense forest and very little other life. It's galactic coordinates were 2839.23.893.84. (GMS)

Yarrku
This Barabel was the owner of the Night Raider. He was a pirate and smuggler by trade, but would take a passage in order to make an "honest" living. Yarrku would charge an exorbitant fee, and often deliver his passengers into slavery. He once tried to swindle Nyo out of 25,000 credits for transport to Nar Shaddaa, but Kinnin Vo-Shay prevented the young man from wasting his credits. The Herglic Doune then contracted Yarrku and his pirates to intercept Vo-Shay and Nyo. Vo-Shay tricked the Barabel into believing the shields on the Ashanda Ray were down, knowing that the redundant systems would kick in shortly, then sent a bomb out in a probe as "payment" for letting them go free. Yarrku opened fire once the probe was retrieved, only to have the bomb explode just as his ship's blasts bounced off the hull of the Ashanda Ray. Yarrku and his crew were killed in the explosion. (TFNR)

Yarrock
This form of spice was known as an addictive, hallucinogenic drug. It was believed that yarrock was first created in Iridonia, as a spiritual aid that was administered to warriors before they went into battle. The shamans who created the drug claimed that it allowed a warrior to see the true meaning of life, to either kill or be killed. When used as a recreational drug, yarrock was transported in a black, plastene pouch to maintain its potency. It gave the user a form of false confidence that manifested itself in a clear vision of the meaning of life. However, long-term use of yarrock resulted in a deep form of psychosis. (COJ, SWG2P, OWS)

Yarroq
This was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "hunts without effort". (GCG)

Yarroq
This Trandoshan was the leader of the gang which kidnapped Renci Tosh and stole her Z-95 Headhunter, when she crashed onto Ord Mantell shortly after the Battle of Yavin. However, she managed to escape capture and eventually returned to Yarroq's outpost to recover her ship. Yarroq's men were no match for the freelancers Tosh hired to help her, and Yarroq eventually fled into the wilderness before he could be caught. (GMR1, WOA15)

Yarrow, Eve
This woman was believed to have been the only heir to the fortunes of Evin Yarrow, who died of natural causes during the final years of the Old Republic. Yarrow Industries was overtaken by the Empire in the wake of the Clone Wars, and Eve went into hiding shortly afterward. Clive Flax believed that Eve Yarrow was actually the freedom fighter known as Flame, but had no evidence to support his theory. He and Astri Oddo performed their own investigation, and discovered that Eve Yarrow had assumed control of Yarrow Industries' bank accounts after the Galactic Empire was established. She erased all information on Acherin from these accounts, and keyed them to numbers in order to make it harder to track credit transfers.

After investigating the Yarrow Industries bank accounts on Niro 11, they learned that Eve Yarrow had been funnelling credits to an account on Revery. Clive and Astri located her residence on the resort world and broke in. They discovered that she was one of the few individuals in the galaxy who had been given an Emperor's Favor crystal, which only added to her mystery. They were nearly trapped in the estate when they tried to hide from Darth Vader, but Vader's presence only confirmed their fears that Eve Yarrow was working for the Empire.

Ferus Olin and Solace came to a similar conclusion while transporting Flame and a group of rebel leaders to Ferus' remote asteroid base. The ship, which had been purchased with Flame's help at the Galactic Luxury Cruiser Convention, was discovered to have a tracer beacon attached to it. The only way the device could have been placed on the ship was after it was purchased, and the only person who knew when it was leaving was Flame. This evidence, coupled with the presence of a spy on the ship, led Ferus to the knowledge of Flame's true identity. The group decided to leave her on a remote moon with enough survival equipment to keep her alive until a passing ship managed to pick up her signal and rescue her. (LJ8, LJ9, LJ10)

Yarrow, Evin
A native of the planet Acherin, Evin Yarrow established Yarrow Industries in the capital city of Sood, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Evin and his wife had a daughter named Eve, but his wife died while the child was still young. Evin himself died of natural causes sometime during the final years of the Old Republic, and his surviving business leaders were unable to prevent the Empire from usurping control of the corporation in the wake of the Clone Wars. Evin was believed to have been survived by his daughter, but she disappeared shortly after his death. (LJ8)

Yarrow Industries
This large corporation was based on the capital city of Sood, on the planet Acherin, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Established by Evin Yarrow, Yarrow Industries produced luxury airspeeders and cruisers. Evin died of natural causes sometime during the final years of the Old Republic, and his surviving business leaders were unable to prevent the Empire from usurping control of the corporation in the wake of the Clone Wars. When the Empire abandoned Acherin, it moved Yarrow Industries off-world, and its bank accounts were transferred to the Bank Niro Eleven facility on Niro 11. Eve Yarrow assumed control of the accounts, and had all information about Acherin removed from the corporation's records. She also had the accounts keyed to numbers instead of names, to make it harder to track credit transfers. (LJ8, LJ9)

Yarrowfew
This flowering plant grew in the mountain regions of the planet Bellassa. In the springtime, yarrowfew blossoms grew in such abundance that they covered the ground. (LJ7)

Yarrv
This planet was a lush, tropical paradise covered with dense jungles, warm oceans, and wide sandy beaches. It was settled during the height of the Old Republic, several millennia before the Battle of Yavin. During the Galactic Civil War, an Alliance protocol droid which contained vital information on their activities in the sector and on the use of Hervack Starport on Steelious was lost on Yarrv and damaged. It reverted back to its former programming as a butler, and was inserted into the household of Baron Karin of Darpheos. Alliance agents had to infiltrate the Baron's house and recover the droid before Karin could decipher the information and use it against the Alliance and start a war with Steelious. The people of Yarrv were separated into twenty different castes, and each baron had a cross-section of these castes in his realm. The small number of barons controlled over ninety percent of the planet's wealth. All the barons were ruled by a planetary King. (GMS)

This red star was the sun of the planet Trinta, and was located in the Outer Rim. (DOE)

Yarua
This Wookiee served as the planet Kashyyyk's primary Senator to the Old Republic, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He despised the corruption of his fellow Senators, but found himself unable to stem the tides. Shortly before the Clone Wars, Senator Yarua agreed to meet with Trandoshan representative Hadocrassk, in an effort to negotiate a peace between their peoples. Yarua had ordered that all trade to Trandosha be blockaded after 215 Wookiees were killed aboard a transport ship near one of Trandosha's moons. The Trandoshan government refused to return the bodies of the dead to Kashyyyk. Senator Yarua threatened to secede from the Republic if reparations were not made to the Wookiee people. The peace talks were mediated by the Jedi Master Oppo Rancisis, but were interrupted by the onset of the Clone Wars. As the Clone Wars dragged on, Senator Yarua remained allied with the Old Republic, but his support of Chancellor Palpatine was anything but ringing. Despite the fact that Yarua refused an offer from the Confederacy of Independent Systems to join the Separatists, Yarua explained that the Wookiees would take the path that led to the best outcome for the Wookiees. In the wake of the Clone Wars and the so-called Jedi Rebellion, Kashyyyk was targeted for Imperial occupation, after Governor Willhuf Tarkin asked for the Wookiees to be captured as slave labor for the construction of the first Death Star. Although many Wookiees were captured, many more escaped, despite the efforts of Darth Vader himself to control the situation. On Coruscant, Senator Yarua and his delegation were placed under house arrest and removed from public sight. (IG1, HNN4, SWI71, RDV)

Yarum
Native to the planet Dagobah, the yarum plant produced aromatic, orange seeds which could be used to brew a tasty tea. (VD)

A Kalkal academic who, along with Skarten, wrote the paper Torture Observed: An Interview With Jabba's Cook. This work brought both of them instant tenure at Beshka University, much to the chagrin of P'tan. (TJP)

Yashuvhi
This branch of mainline human stock was cut off from the rest of the galaxy many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. A Jedi Knight and his crew were exploring the Unknown Regions when an accident brought their ship out of hyperspace. The crew survived, and settled on the planet Yashuvhu. Lacking the technology to repair the ship, the Jedi and the crew were cut off from the rest of the galaxy but nonetheless managed to survive and prosper. The descendents of the original crew were all sensitive to the Force, having the Jedi as their main forebears. The Yashuvhi were discovered by the crew of the Pathfinder III during the century leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (WOTC)

Yashuvhu
This lush, temperate world was originally settled during the Expansion Period of the Old Republic by a group of human colonists. Legends say that a Jedi Knight and his crew were on an exploration mission when they were forced out of hyperspace. An unspecified accident disabled their starship, and they were forced to land on the planet. They were utterly cut off from the rest of the galaxy, lacking any spare parts and without the necessary skills or resources to repair the ship. Yashuvhu was located on the fringes of the Unknown Regions. The human population nevertheless grew steadily, and referred to themselves as the Yashuvhi. The planet was "discovered" by the crew of the Pathfinder III during the century leading up to the Battle of Naboo. (WOTC)

Yasilor
This planet was located in Bajic Sector. (GG11)

Yassat
This man was a member of the Walkway Collective, in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. HE served Tenga Javik as a scout, exploring the areas surrounding the bombed-out Catier Walkway in search of supplies, other humans, or Yuuzhan Vong warriors. He claimed to have seen Lord Nyax made incarnate on Coruscant, after witnessing a dark being mercilessly destroying Yuuzhan Vong raiding parties. (EL2)

Yassin, Jaiteh
This pale, blue-skinned Twi'lek male lived in the city of Gadin, on Cularin, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Despite living in the city, Yassin was a good friend of the Hiironi irstat, and was regularly invited by Mother Dariana to attend their Naming Day ceremonies. When Surracca and Delinna appealed to the Hiironi for assistance in fighting back against Xinishia, Yassin provided an M-TD translator droid to the freelance agents who agreed to help the Wookiees. (LFCW, FTT)

Yast, Setel
This was the name of a noted individual from the Nautolan race. (UANT)

Yastesh
This was a game played by Sullustan children. (SWJ14)

Yas'tua
This Bothan led the small group of ruffians who intercepted Alema Rar, when she arrived on Korriban some three years after the Swarm War to seek out the current Sith Lords. Yas'tua refused to help her, although the Barabel known as Rak'k agreed to give her the information she wanted. He also indicated that Yas'tua had a working swoop, and Alema forced the Bothan to turn it over to her. (LF6)

Yatir
A humanoid race native to the planet Absit, the Yatir were overrun by the Empire's Hell's Hammers, under the command of Colonel Zel "Rancor" Johans, during the Galactic Civil War. The Yatir had been sympathetic to Rebel Alliance, and paid the price for their support when the Hell's Hammers subjugated them. (ISB, OWS)

Yatooni Boska
This was one of the many mixed drinks that were created by the Hutts. A Yatooni Boska was considered one of the most mind-relaxing drinks in the Outer Rim Territories. (GPB)

Yatuka
This Huttese verb translated into Basic as "to move." (GMR5, GPB)

Yavaris
This New Republic Nebulon-B escort frigate originally saw duty as a troop carrier during the Galactic Civil War, and was one of the few capital ships that saw action at the Battle of Yavin. Later, it was used by General Wedge Antilles as his flagship, during the assault on the Maw Installation. (COTF, JASB)

Yavassk
This was a common name among members of the Trandoshan race. (WOTC, UANT)

Yavid
This diminutive Sanyassan grew up on the Forest Moon of Endor, part of the group of Marauders that was stranded on the moon during the height of the New Order. In his youth on Sanyassa IV, Yavid was a member of the aristocracy, but was forced to work harder than his peers to earn respect, and he came to have a very cynical and sadistic nature. He was eventually taken in by the Marauders, who were later exiled and ended up on the Forest Moon. With the Maruaders, Yavid earned the rank of General under King Terak, providing tactical information that kept the Duloks and Phlogs at bay. It was also said that Yavid's efforts resulted in a truce with Morag, who had been planning to wipe out the Maraduers. When Terak was defeated by the Ewoks, Yavid assumed the position of King. However, he lacked the leadership skills necessary to keep the peace, and the surviving Marauders soon destroyed each other. (SWDB)

Yavin
This star was the central body in the Yavin System, located in the Sumitra Sector of the Outer Rim Territories. It was believed that the Yavin System was formed more than 7,500,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. (GORW)

Yavin
This Mon Calamari MC90 cruiser was used by Wedge Antilles as his command ship during the assault on Almania. (TNR)

Yavin
The second and primary planet in the Yavin system, Yavin was a marginally habitable gas planet with twenty-six moons, of which three were inhabited. The planet measured some 192,478 kilometers in diameter, and the atmosphere which surrounded it had an average depth of 65,000 kilometers. The density of its metallic hydrogen core gave Yavin a gravity which was 2.74 times the standard of Coruscant, and helped the gas giant to attract so many moons. The atmosphere of Yavin was one of the brightest in the galaxy, leading many scientists to believe that it was a world that could have become a star under other circumstances. The planet's intense light even visible on the dark side, and was attributed to photons becoming trapped in the gases and bouncing around, not from any sort of fusion reaction. Despite the intense pressures within the clouds, Yavin supported lifeforms which were thinner than paper but nonetheless alive. Yavin spun remarkably fast for its size, rotating once around its axis every eleven standard hours. Its year lasted some 4,858 local days. Estimates placed Yavin some 40,500 light-years from the galactic core. Note that the Planet Hoppers feature of the Wizards of the Coast website indicates that Yavin measured 198,500 kilometers in diameter, had a normal gravity that was four times Standard. Furthermore, the series indicates that Yavin was the third planet in the Yavin System, had a day which lasted twenty-four hours, and a year that encompassed 4,818 local days. In the wake of the Great Sith War, the Jedi Order sought to erase information on the Yavin System from the Jedi Archives and other galactic databases, hoping to put an end to the threat of the Dark Side that seemed to linger on Yavin 4. (E4, E4N, GG2, EVC, PH, IWST, GORW)

Yavin 13
One of three inhabitable moons of Yavin, Yavin 13 was a desert moon which was home to the Gerbs and the Slith. While the majority of the moon was dominated rocky deserts and forests of cactus, most of the southern hemisphere was covered by a shallow sea that provided the meager moisture that could be found in its atmosphere. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the alien invaders devastated the moon, wiping out all life on its surface. (GG2, PH, GORW)

Yavin 22
This large, airless asteroid was considered the twenty-second moon of the gas giant Yavin, although it was probably captured by Yavin's gravity rather than forming as part of the Yavin System. Yavin 22 was best-known as the final resting place of Yavin Station, which had crashed onto the moon some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (PH)

Yavin 4
One of the many inhabitable moons of the gas giant Yavin, Yavin 4 had a lush, tropical ecology that supported an abundance of life. It was home to the extinct Massassi race, which was subjugated by Exar Kun some 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor. The Massassi built huge temples in the jungles to focus the Dark Side energies Kun commanded. During the Great Sith War, Yavin 4 was were Kun made his final stand, draining the life energies of the Massassi to preserve his spirit despite the death of his flesh. The resulting clash of Force energies sparked huge forest fires that ravaged the jungles. When Ulic Qel-Droma returned several years after the war, the jungles were still barren of life. Over the millennia, however, life did return to the moon, and its jungles flourished. When the Alliance built their first main base, they chose Yavin 4 as an out-of-the-way location. Following the destruction of Alderaan and Princess Leia's rescue from the first Death Star, the Empire discovered the base's location and tried to destroy it. The Alliance's starfighters, led by Luke Skywalker, destroyed the station before it could fire on the moon. However, debris from the first Death Star rained down on Yavin 4 for months, touching off forest fires and laying waste to vast portions of the planet. The destruction was much less than that resulting from the Sith War, and much of the Alliance base remained intact. Later, Mon Mothma and Leia Organa-Solo chose Yavin 4 as the site for Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum. The average day on Yavin 4 lasted 24 standard hours, and it circled Yavin three times every Coruscant standard year. The moon had four major land masses separated by six interconnected oceans. Note that I, Jedi indicates that Yavin 4 had its own moon. Also note that Yavin Four was described as the base of operations for the new government forming out of the Alliance, following the death of Emperor Palpatine at Endor, in The Glove of Darth Vader. The Lost City of the Jedi claims that, thousands of years before the Galactic Civil War, Yavin 4 was a barren, cold ball of rock. The ancient Jedi created the lush, tropical environment, with a 6-month dry/6-month wet seasonal cycle, by building a weather and climate control center in the Lost City. They Jedi then programmed the caretaker droids to maintain the weather programs until they were told not to. The moon was later burnt extensively by Trioculus, in an attempt to locate the Lost City of the Jedi. Yavin 4 remained untouched for several decades, until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. In an effort to wipe out the Jedi, the Yuuzhan Vong placed bounties on the heads of any being who was trained as a Jedi Knight. Many bounty hunters made the trip to the Yavin System, but none could locate the jungle moon and its temples. This was because Luke Skywalker and his fellow Jedi Masters used Fallanassi techniques of illusion to hide the entire moon from view. However, the illusion was eventually broken when a group of Peace Brigade ships managed to find it, and relayed its location to the Yuuzhan Vong. The alien invaders attacked Yavin 4 and seized control of the moon, reforming it to serve as a Shaper base. (E4, DLS, TSW, HTF, JS, GDV, LCJ, JASB, IJ, GG2, PJSB, NJOSB)

Yavin 4 Station
This space station was originally created in orbit around Yavin 4 as an outpost for spacers who were traveling through the Yavin System, or for explorers who were traveling to Yavin 4 itself. After the Battle of Yavin, the station was appropriated for use by Imperial forces, during the investigation of the former Alliance base in the temple ruins on Yavin 4. (SWGAL)

Yavin 8
One of three inhabitable moons of Yavin, Yavin 8 had a rocky, mountainous terrain which was home to a number of species of grazers and the Melodie people. Much of its ecosystem was tundra, with most of the planet's abundant water supply frozen into snow or ice. The moon measured 11,400 kilometers in diameter, and orbited Yavin at an average distance of 560,342 kilometers. It orbited Yavin once every 1.14 Coruscant years, and its day encompassed 21 standard hours. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Yavin 8 was ravaged by the alien invaders, and those Melodies who lived on the moon were exterminated. (GG2, LW, PH, GORW)

Yavin Base
This was the original name used by Alliance personnel to describe the Massassi Station base of operations, which was established on the moon Yavin IV. (XWP)

Yavin Prime
This was another name for the gas giant Yavin, since it was the primary planet in the Yavin System. (DSTR)

Yavin Station
This ancient space station was erected in orbit around the gas giant Yavin, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Built from ores mined on Tatooine, the station served as an outpost for explorers and other beings who were passing through the system. For many years, it was operated by Suvam Tan, until it began to decay. The ores that were used in its creation were poorly suited for use in space, and began to fracture. One fateful day, a freighter that was attempting to leaving Yavin Station caused a small crack to form in its hangar bay. In no time, the crack expanded and grew, and Yavin Station suffered a catastrophic, explosive decompression. All aboard were killed, and the force of the blast smashed Yavin Station into the barren surface of Yavin 22. However, the station absorbed the impact on its ventral surface, and many of its interior chambers were well-preserved, flash-frozen during the decompression. (PH)

Yavin System
This star system was located in the Sumitra Sector of the Outer Rim Territories. It was believed that the Yavin System was formed more than 7,500,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. The system's three planets included Miser, Stroiketcy, and the gas giant Yavin. Yavin itself was orbited by twenty-six moons, creating a complex dance among the various bodies in the system. Gravity, especially around Yavin, dragged space debris into the system, and many of Yavin's moons experienced regular meteor strikes. (GORW, GG2, DOG)

Yavin Vassilika
This wondrous crystal sphere was considered nothing more than a legend to most of the modern galaxy. It was formed from a single Coruscan Gem, and was covered with a variety of Massassi heiroglyphs. Its location was discovered by Illyan Webble, shortly before the Battle of Yavin, on a remote world where it was worshipped by an alien race. The Vassilika was later discovered to be more than just a crystal sphere. Inside the sphere was an archaic key, which opened the greatest of the Massassi temples on Yavin 4. The sphere was eventually recovered by Brian Tharen and an elderly man known as The Collector, who were members of the Alliance searching for a way to use the Massassi temples as a base. (UYV)

Yavin's Caprice
This Gymsnor-class cargo ship was captured by Sol Mon and his pirates. The ship's Captain tried to reach the New Republic and warn them of the pirates, but Sol Mon captured her before she could complete the message. (CE2)

Yavin's Glory
This was a New Republic patrol cruiser which was ambushed by the Red Moons mercenary band. (SWJ3)

Yavvitiri Spaceport
This spaceport was located on the planet Yaga Minor, and served as the primary conduit for the technicians and personnel assigned to the Outbound Flight project, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (OF)

Yawari Cliffs
This location on the Forest Moon of Endor was one of the moon's most striking features. At the Cliffs, the primeval forests ended and the land dropped away in steep, rocky cliffs. The exposed sandstone was dotted with wind-tunneled caves and broad ledges. (ISU)

Yawnor
This escort shuttle was part of the small fleet that defended the Dimok cruiser Falaricae, during the final stages of the Sepan Civil War. When Imperial forces invaded the Sepan System following the Battle of Hoth, the Yawnor was only barely able to escape when the Falaricae was destroyed. (TIEP)

Yayax Squad
This group of clone commandos was trained by Rav Bralor on the planet Kamino, during the build-up to the Clone Wars. Led by Sergeant Cov, Yayax Squad was on the planet Kashyyyk when the command was issued to carry out Order 66. Cov refused to believe that the Jedi Knights had suddenly turned on them, so he and his men left Kashyyyk and returned to Coruscant with Etain Tur-Mukan and Delta Squad. Cov and his men later agreed to defect from the Grand Army of the Republic in the wake of the so-called Jedi Rebellion, and joined Kal Skirata's group of escapees on the planet Mandalore. (RC66)

Yaytah
This word from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "later." (GPB)

Yazbo
Imperial slang term for a Kitonak. (COJ)

Yazstrimskizzie

Yazz
This word from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "music." (GPB)

Y-Ball
This Ugly starfighter was developed from a TIE Fighter cockpit mounted to the engines of a Y-Wing. First developed on Corellia, these well-armed ships were quite slow to maneuver and were often poorly made. When Rogue Squadron tried to rescue members of Baron Soontir Fels' family from kidnappers, they shot down several squadrons of these Uglies. (XWM, HXW)

Y'bith
This was the name used to describe the sub-species of Bith that evolved on Clak'Dor IV, in the wake of the war between the cities of Nozho and Weogar, some 300 years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. The term Y'bith literally meant "Ghost Bith." The original Y'bith were those individuals who chose not to sequester themselves in the hermetically-sealed cities that were erected to keep out the strange chemicals used during the war. The chemicals set in motion a series of genetic mutations, which led to further ostracizing of their people. Rather than remain on Clak'Dor VII and endure the derision of their cousins, the Y'bith chose to relocate to the planet Clak'Dor IV, where they established the settlement of New Nozho. While geneticists among the Y'bith struggled to bring the mutations to a halt, the Y'bith became somewhat inferior to their cousins. They had poor eyesight and more sensitive skin, but also had stronger bones and muscles. The mouth of a Y'bith individual became more pronounced, giving it the appearance of a large beak. The average Y'bith was also prone to fits of aggression and violence, traits that were cited by the mainline Bith as signs of degeneration. Nevertheless, the Y'bith continued to evolve, and eventually made their way back into the galaxyu's mainstream. The Y'bith were among the first races to volunteer time and effort during the massive rebuilding process that took place after the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong, earning them the respect of the rest of the galaxy. (SWDB)

Yc
This Mandalorian suffix was used to transform a noun into an adjective, as in aruetyc. It was sometimes replaced by the suffix la, depending on the pronunciation of the root word. (SWI86)

YC-1100
This was the model number of an expensive, high-end security component, used during the last decades of the Old Republic to protect computer systems. (EOS1)

Ycaqt
Native to the planet Velmor, this large herd animal resembled a massive tadpole in shape, and was trained for use as a mount. Its large, ovoid body was supported by two long legs, and was counterbalanced by a whip-like tail. The average ycaqt stood more than two meters tall, and ran along the ground like a large bird. The natives of Velmor learned to domesticate the ycaqt, and used them as mounts during ceremonial mrid hunts. The wide mouth of a ycaqt was not filled with teeth, however. Instead, a comb of baleen filled its maw, which was used to filter out plankton and other small creatures from the prodigious gulps of water it drank. (LTA2, WOTC, GMR10, UA)

Ycaqt Cargo Ship
Developed jointly by the Corellian Engineering Corporation and Loronar Corporation at Shipyard Lab 6671-X42, the Ycaqt cargo ship was a droid-controlled vessel designed to move small shipments along safe hyperspace routes safely and inexpensively. Measuring just twenty-one meters in length, the Ycaqt armed with just a single ion cannon and could carry up to 250 metric tons of cargo. The interior spaces were designed to carry inanimate objects, but could be reconfigred to transport live cargoes. While the Ycaqt looked good on paper, the droid brain developed for the craft suffered from the same sort of "prissiness" that affected many protocol droids, and it lacked the ability to negotiate for lower docking fees when necessary. (GMR10)

Yccakic
This Bith played the Bottom Viol in Sprig Cheever's band, and was known to be nervous about everything related to the band. He feared that they would not earn enough credits to make it to the next system; he worried that his instrument would be damaged in transit; he hoped the band would practice a few new numbers to keep the act fresh. (SWJ4, SWJ10)

Ychna
This huge Yuuzhan Vong starship was developed to attack the orbital space stations used by the New Republic. Individual ychna were huge, snake-like constructs which wrapped themselves around a space station and literally crushed it. (BP)

Ychthytonian
This alien race had four arms. (TNR)

Yctor Arms
This small weapons manufacturer produced a variety of black-powder projectile weapons during the Old Republic. (GUN)

Y'Dar Princess
This moderately-priced cruise ship took passengers on tours of the Outer Rim Territories, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GG9, OWS)

Ydde
This Ortolan and his family lived in the Outsider Citadels of the planet Cerea, shortly before the time of the Battle of Naboo. Ydde was a good friend of Ki-Adi-Mundi, and often helped the Cerean located individuals and places in the Citadels. He worked for a small shipping firm until he was caught up in the plans of Bron and Ephant Mon to import swoops and other technology to Cerea while exporting trace quantities of malium. When he realized that a Cerean elder - Dorr-Femi-Bonmi - was involved in their plans, Ydde tried to get out. After giving all the information he could to Ki about the scheme, Ydde was executed for his seeming deceit by Dorr. He was survived by his wife and five young children. Jedi Knight Nem Bees later assumed the identity of Ydde, as part of a mission to infiltrate his homeworld of Orto and assess the situation there, during the height of the Clone Wars. (PTR, SWDB)

Ydnen
This being was training as a Jedi Padawan, during the last years of the Old Republic. (HG)

YE-4 Assault Gunship
This Imperial gunship was similar in appearance to the standard Lambda-class shuttle, but did not have moveable wings. Instead, the YE-4 gunship had a pair of static, vertically-mounted tail wings at the rear of the ship, and heavy, rectangular pods along each side of the ship. These pods were equipped with front-mounted laser cannons and a turret-mounted laser weapon, adding to the firepower provided by the twin laser cannons mounted on the nose. The YE-4 assault gunship was capable of moving through hyperspace, providing Imperial assault teams with a swift and powerful method for reaching a battle zone. (SWGAL)

Yeade
This warm beverage was favored by the Witches of Dathomir, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWIE)

Yeat
This omnivore was native to the planet Mutanda, and evolved over time into aggressive predators. They were compact in form, with four muscular legs supporting their bodies. Their heads were studded with steely horns, which they used to gore their prey. They were normally friendly, but will attack without warning. (PG1)

Yeb, Solipo
This man was one of the many Senators who represented their homeworlds in the Galactic Senate, during the height of the Clone Wars. Senator Yeb, a native of the planet Andalia, often wore expensive cloaks, both to flaunt his wealth and to hide his face during private discussions. (VD3)

Yedan, Gade
This human was Gyr Neela's assistant at the Mrlsst Academy. He held Neela in great contempt, feeling that the Mrlssi was nothing more than bluster and had no ability. Yedan was involved in the plot to steal the plans for the Phantom Project's cloaking device, and the discrediting of Rogue Squadron. In this capacity, he reported directly to Loka Hask. However, Hask shot him shortly before Doctor Falken's lab was consumed by a wormhole created by the gravitic polarization beam. (XWPA, HXW)

Yeek
When translated into Basic, this Ewok verb meant "to look." (GPB)

Yeel
This surname was common among the Sullustan race, and meant "animal herder" in the Sullustan language. (GCG)

General Yeel was placed in charge of the investigation into Viqi Shesh's part in trying to assassination Han and Leia Organa Solo, some two years after the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Despite the evidence, General Yeel refused to act to protect Coruscant without sufficient evidence. (SBS)

Yeelhoy
This young Jawa and his brother, Enjikket, participated in their first scrap hunt just prior to the Battle of Yavin, when they accompanied Dathcha and his clanmates on the mission to capture R2-D2. The astromech had become separated from its companion, C-3PO, after escaping from the Tantive IV. Because he was one of Dathcha's nephews, Yeelhoy often enjoyed special privileges within the tribe. (E4VG)

Yeeli
This was one of the more common names given to males of the Mon Calamari race. To the Mon Calamari, this name meant "fair" or "just". (GCG)

Yeens, Gela

Yeep
This was the Teek discovered by Tuner Ryna, having climbed aboard Ryna's spaceship one day. Ryna discovered that Yeep - whether that was the creature's name or not, Ryna couldn't tell - was incredibly fast, and entered Yeep in the "Mobquet Presents: Fastest Land Beins" races, just prior to the onset of the Clone Wars. Yeep easily beat the rest of the competition, but his victory was protested by many other racers, who claimed Yeep was not sentient. The Mobquet judges eventually deemed that Yeep was "adequately sentient" to qualify, and the furry being retained the title. (HNN5)

This settlement was the largest city found on the planet Reytha. It was here that the planetary leaders built their fortresses and strongholds, in order to oversee the production of foodstuffs. (GB)

Yeesrim, Baskol
This Gran was a member of the Malastare delegation to the Old Republic Senate, during the period surrounding the Battle of Naboo. He was part of the group supporting Aks Moe and Ainlee Teem during the ouster of Chancellor Valorum. In the wake of the death of Aks Moe and the growing problem with the Separatists, Baskol Yeesrim became increasingly vocal about the inability of the Jedi Knights to stop many of the galaxyt's problems. (IG1, HNN5)

Yeff, Maber
This man was a member of the Peace Brigade during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Yeff was placed in charge of the team which accompanied Talon Karrde to Yavin 4, during the Peace Brigade's attempt to capture the students training at the Jedi praxeum on the moon. Yeff was unaware that Karrde was using him as a way to reach the Jedi. (EVC)

He was one of the many beings who had been forced into his position by Governor Koong, and agreed to help Mungo Baobab escape from captivity. Together, they managed to escape the Umboo Lightstation, after it was damaged in their escape. In exchange for helping him to escape, Noop provided Mungo with the location of the Roon System. (DCAR, WOTC, SWDB, GORW)

Yellow
This was one of the common designations used by the targetting computers installed on Imperial warships to identify a group of Alliance starfighters. Although the Alliance used starfighters that were often produced in small production runs, or were cobbled together in such a way as to make each one unique, the Imperial naval leaders chose to identify them with transponders codes that were often little more than a group of letters and numbers. In order to distinguish these enemy ships from friendly vessels during a battle, Imperial targetting computers assigned all fighters in a given unit to a specific group, each with a specific designation. The fourth Alliance group discovered by the targetting computer was usually assigned to the Yellow group, and the ships within that group were also given a numerical identifier, such as Yellow 1. In situations where starfighters from two or more base ships were participating in a battle, the designation Yellow was preceded by a character that was unique to the base ship. (TIEP)

Yellow Aces Squadron
This was the famed X-Wing squadron based on Tierfon during the early years of the Alliance. Among its alumni were Jek Porkins and Wes Janson. (MTS, WS)

Yellow District
This was the term used by the Falleen to describe the the section of their capital city that was the most polluted, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Falleen had experienced a boom in the construction of manufacturing facilities, and many of these facilities operated with little or no environmental control. Thus, the air surrounding these facilities was laden with smog and chemicals, and appeared yellow in the light of Falleen's sun. (JQ9)

Yelsain
This forest world was found in the Yelsain System of the Minos Cluster. It was a large planet, although it lacked heavy metals in its composition. This resulted in a lower than normal gravity despite its size. The tress of the forests were immense, with older specimens measuring 400 meters in height. The original settlers were forced to battle the creatures which lived in the trees, and their exploits became the subject of a number of holo-vids produced on nearby Adarlon. The trees consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen at incredible rates, which means the oxygen content of its atmosphere was quite high. This leads to intense weather patterns, with nightly thunderstorms sweeping across the surface. Yelsain's inhabitants were rural by galactic standards, although their colleges and universities were second to none. They live and work in sprawling cities built in the trees. The natives of the planet were fiercely loyal to the Old Republic, as a result of the Republic's support of the settlement there. Many Jedi Knights claimed Yelsain as their home, and it was rumored that many Jedi hid there during Emperor Palpatine's purge. The planet had a day which lasted 24 standard hours, and a year which lasted 249 local days. (GG6)

Yeltha
This intensely hot planet was the innermost world of the Both System. (SPG)

Yemm
One of the few non-humans to receive a SAGEducation grant to study in the Core, Yemm was a Devaronian who earned a degree in business administration and law at the Dansuun Priory on Rhinnal, during the final years of the Old Republic. After working for several corporations in the Core, he took a position working for Grand Moff Tarkin at the Maw Installation, where he was placed in charge of legal counsel and documentation. His near-fanatical adherence to Imperial procedure cost him his life, however. After the Maw Installation was discovered by Han Solo, some seven years after the Battle of Endor, the New Republic decided to launch a mission to take control of the facility. Admiral Daala, who had been left at the Maw Installation to handle its defense, set out on her own to bring the fight to the New Republic. This left the Maw Installation relatively unguarded, and forced Sivron to assume control of both its scientific and military forces. Sivron gathered Yemm and the other managers together and brought the Death Star prototype online, hoping to use it against the Republic's task froce. They managed to destroy a couple of Republic vessels before getting bogged down in procedures. Unable to determine what to do next, Sivron and his managers called a meeting, and decided that the correct procedure was to destroy the Maw Installation before it could fall into the hands of the New Republic. They began their attacks on the facility, but Kyp Durron used the Sun Crusher to disable the Death Star's maneuvering systems. Like Sivron and the rest of his staff, Yemm was killed when the prototype Death Star was dragged into the Maw's black holes and destroyed. (COTF, JASB)

Yemm, Yarbolk
This Chadra-Fan was a reporter for the TriNebulon News group, during the early years of the New Republic. He was busy investigating Loronar Corporation's involvement in the Meridian Sector when Dzymand Seti Ashgad released the Death Seed plague. He started to put two and two together, and eventually discovered that Loronar was supplying the various pirates and rebels with brand-new weapons. He also discovered the connection between Loronar and the Needle attack ships. He claimed that his life had been threatened at least three times before he met C-3PO and R2-D2. It was Yemm who rescued R2-D2 and C-3PO from indentured employment at the Chug 'n' Chuck on Nim Drovis, and the droids returned the favor when the three escaped from Nim Drovis on the Zicreex. (POT)

Yen Bachask
This was one of the larger towns found on the planet Yarille. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Yen Bachask was the site of a minor skirmish between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Although the fighting was brief, the town of Yen Bachask was hit hard. Because the fighting took place just prior to the winter season, many natives were left homeless and in need of food, prompting Jedi Master Djinn Altis to put together a relief mission to help the natives survive. Upon arriving at Yen Bachask, Master Altis and his Jedi found that the town - which had once served as the regional capital of Yarille's polar provinces - was utterly devastated, and had been literally razed to the ground. The survivors had been forced to construct makeshift shelters on top of the ruins of their homes, and they lived among the dead bodies of their own people and the clone troopers who had died there. Master Altis grew angry at the Jedi Council, questioning the leadership of Master Yoda, when there was unnecessary death and destruction that was ripping the lives of common beings apart. (CWNOP)

Yen-2
Located in the Verde System, this planetoid was the site of a mining colony which was forced to pay "protection money" to the crimelord Sprax during the Galactic Civil War. The site's owner, Neil Barani, decided not to pay when he discovered a vein of doonium in the mines, and offered it for sale to the Empire. Unfortunately, his actions forced Sprax to retaliate, and the Nalroni dispatched Limna Yith to force Barani to pay his dues. When Barani refused, Yith used her starship's weapons to severely damaged the outpost on Yen-2, rendering most of its life-support and power systems inoperable. Much more of the outpost was destroyed by Bel Att's mercenaries, after learning of their leader's death at the hands of Limna Yith. The colony was abandoned, by Neil Barani remained behind to hide from reprisals from either the Empire or Black Sun, or both. (SSR)

Yeoman Scrapheap
This military protocol droid was stationed aboard the Mandian, serving as Captain Dondo Foth's personal assistant durnig the height of the Clone Wars. The droid's name came from the unusual markings it received from the crew, who had painted a first-class yeoman's chevrons on its forehead. Although Yeoman Scrapheap was invaluable for maintaining Foth's schedule of military duties, certain programming glitches often got on the Captain's nerves, and Foth often threatened to stow the droid in the Lucky Bag. (JT)

Yeomet
This vermin could be found on a variety of artificial worlds such as space stations and large starships, or even on urbanized planets. Measuring up to 60 centimeters in height, the quadripedal yeomets can consume almost any material, and they sought out food with incredible tenacity. Their ability to dig through almost anything makes them a pest and a nuisance, especially on space-going vessels. The yeomets were also known to carry a variety of diseases. They were timid when first encountered, but will attack if necessary. Their teeth were not sharp, but their jaws were incredibly strong and can inflict blunt trauma in addition to passing on whatever diseases they carried. They sleep in huge piles, with pregnant females always on the bottom to assist in labor and delivery. (COG)

Yer In The Rebellion Now, Farmboy
This was the unofficial fight song of the military forces of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Its popularity among the troops was matched by its obscenities, but it helped to keep morale high during the long struggle against the Empire. One relatively tame verse went, "The pay is lousy, the food is even worse, But we're tougher 'n' a Wookiee's stomach, And meaner 'n' a Princess' curse." (RASB)

Yevetha
This humanoid alien race, originally from the planet N'zoth, resembled animated skeletons. Their facial structure was highly colored, with a white nasal ridge and scarlet cheek and chin ridges surrounding dark black eyes. The Yevetha had six clawed fingers on each hand, and a wicked dewclaw could be extended from their wrists.

It was believed that the Yevetha achieved sentience some 50,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. Having evolved in the Koornacht Cluster and never seeing other stars beyond their own, the Yevetha became a very self-important race, considering themselves the masters of their universe. All other races were simply vermin. The Yevetha developed a hierarchical society, with the males being dominant. There were castes of males and females, and the higher classes alway dominated the lower. Lower-ranking Yevethan males were required to bear their necks in deferrence to their superiors.

Yevetha were also extrememly quick to learn new things, and were particularly adept at assimilating technology. They never ate in mixed company, and detested the smell and feel of other races. They installed specialized bathing stations on their embassy ships, to wash away the scent of other races.

The Yevetha had moved beyond N'zoth and either conquered of populated the nearest worlds when the Empire subjugated them and used the Koornacht Cluster as a base of operations for the Black Sword Command, during the early years of the New Order. Rather than simply submitting to Imperial rule, the Yevetha took the opportunity to insinuate themselves into all aspects of Imperial technology and process, learning everything they could about starships and space combat. Under the guidance of Nil Spaar, the Yevetha overthrew the Imperials following the Galactic Civil War, and created plans to purge the Koornacht Cluster - and eventually the galaxy - of non-Yevethans. This plan became known as the Great Purge, and was initiated about twelve years after their defeat of the Empire.

The New Republic eventually put a halt to the Yevethan aggression, and the Yevetha were forced to retreat to N'zoth. They remained a formidable threat, however, so much so that the Yuuzhan Vong traded a momentary freedom to the Fia in exchange for information on the Yevethan military. The Fia, who had been among the many races plagued by the Yevetha, were only too eager to agree. In an attempt to eliminate any threat along its rearward borders, the Yuuzhan Vong utterly destroyed the Yevethan homeworld of N'zoth, killing every last Yevethan individual and wiping the Yevethan civilization from the galaxy. It was reported by Jaina Solo that the last of the Yevethans crashed his starship and committed suicide, rather than accepting the help of an outsider. (BTS, SOL, FH1, CCW, NEGA)

Yevra
This red-skinned Zabrak was one of three members of his race who were being trained at the Sith Academy on Korriban, during the years leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. Like her brother, Llokay, Yevra's connection to the Dark Side of the Force paled in comparison to that of the other Zabrak, Sirak. Thus, Llokay and Yevra looked up to Sirak as something of a leader, and followed his every order. When Sirak was defeated in the lightsaber training ring by Bane, he plotted his own revenge against the human. With Llokay and Yevra's help, he planned to confront Bane whem he returned from the Valley of the Dark Lords. Sirak believed that Githany was also on his side, but she was only working for her own benefit. When Sirak attacked Bane, Yevra was unprepared for Bane's control of the Force. He flung her backward with the power of the Dark Side, where Githany confronted her. Before she could draw her own weapon, Yevra was killed by the energy that was unleashed by Githany's energy whip.

A Hapan ambassador during the reign of Prince Isolder and Teneniel Djo, she had bright silver hair and eyes. She was part of a delegation to Coruscant during the time Tenel Ka was attending the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, and was charged with personally observing the education of Tenel Ka by Ta'a Chume. She was secretly trying to overthrow the Hapan monarchy by murdering Tenel Ka. Yfra tried to detonate a bomb in the Fountain Palace, but the resulting explosion did not hurt anyone. Yfra then tried to kill Tenel Ka on the waters near Reef Fortress by steering the royal waveskimmer into a patch of carnivorous seaweed. In trying to guarantee success, Yfra also hired a group of Bartokk assassins to intercept the skimmer. Both attacks failed. (SA, L)

Yfridian, Baltor
This man served the Thaereian Navy as a Captain, during the final years of the Old Republic. Captain Yfridian was in command of the patrol vessel Vigilant during the Clone Wars. A middle-aged man whose jet-black hair was shot through with gray at the temples, Yfridian was a competent officer who despised the Cularin Militia. It was believed that he was running an illegal shipping operation in the Cularin System, but no evidence was brought forth to charge him with any crime. (WGT)

This was one of the many Bothan clans. Affiliation with the clan was indicated by the suffix 'yg added to an individual's family name. (GCG, WOTC)

YG-4210
This was one of the many Corellian Engineering Corporation YG-series transports. A series which had been in production for several millennia, the YG series was designed to be modular enough to adapt to a variety of missions and uses. The YG-4210, measuring 24 meters in length, had a primary section which sat in front of the engine pods. It could transport up to 10 metric tons of cargo and up to twelve passengers. (GMR2)

YG-series Transport
This was a series of large, fairly expensive transport vessels produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporations. Records indicate that the YG-series might have been first developed more than a millennia before the Battle of Yavin. The design of the YG-series was regarded as uninspired by many industry pundits, but the series still sold quite well over the centuries. (MF)

Ygziir
This planet, located in the Yuuzhan Vong galaxy, was destroyed in the ancient Cremlevian War by Yo'Gand. The Yuuzhan Vong warrior used a strong dovin basal to pull Ygziir's moon onto a collision course with Ygziir. The resulting collision destroyed the moon and left Ygziir a shattered hulk. (VP)

This gas giant was mined by the Gas Vortex station during the early years of the New Republic. (GG8)

Yhuli
This planet was the site of Kal-tan-shi's capture of Alliance Generals Tfin and Wuvnir. (AIR)

YI-5
This series of droids was produced for use in surveillance and forensic investigations, during the height of the New Order. Most of the YI-5 droids that were produced went to the Imperial Security Bureau. The YI-5 proved its worth almost immediately, when one of the first droids used by the ISB caught the actions of Vune Willic on a variety of media, which were later used in presenting evidence at Willic's courtmartial trial. The YI-5 was a small, insect-like droid that was shaped like a flattened oval. A miniature holocamera and two sensor eyes - one red, for heat signatures; and one blue, for light signatures - sat atop the body. Four sockets for mounting a set of manipulator arms were located on the belly, and a unique stealth field package gave the YI-5 a form of shielding that altered its coloration to match it surroundings. When Ysanne Isard first saw the YI-5 in action, she believed that the two sensor eyes were colored red and blue as a subtle jab at her own eye color. Only the effectiveness of the YI-5 in bringing Vune Willic to justice, along with the assurances of the Empire's own engineers, persuaded her to rescind the termination orders against the designers. (PH)

Yibikkoror

The only evidence of their existence was a datapad that was later recovered from the cave. (SWGAL)

Yim, Ahsi
This yojng Yuuzhan Vong Shaper was training as an adept under her domain sister, Nen Yim, during the last stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She was elevated to the rank of Master Shaper about a year after the Battle of Coruscant, and decided to join Nen Yim's pursuit of knowledge supporting the Jedi Heresy. When Nen Yim disppeared on her mission to locate Zonama Sekot, Ahsi Yim was assigned to work with the new Master Shape, Qelah Kwaad. Qelah Kwaad questioned the decision openly, to Supreme Overlord Shimrra himself, and inferred that Ahsi Yim had helped Nen Yim escape. Because of this, Shimrra had Ahsi Yim executed. (FP)

Yim, Nen
This young Yuuzhan Vong female was trained as a shaper by Mezhan Kwaad, during the aliens' invasion of the known galaxy. She was chosen by Kwaad for her heretical beliefs. Nen Yim was one of the few Yuuzhan Vong who believed that their race was not ordained to rule the galaxy, but was part of a larger collection of lifeforms. Nen Yim trained aboard the worldship Baanu Kor, and had never set foot on a real planet. When Mezhan Kwaad was appointed to investigate the source of The Force, she took on Nen Yim to help map out the nervous system of a Jedi Knight. Their subject was Tahiri Veila, and both shapers realized that they had to think beyond the rigid Yuuzhan Vong protocols in order to discover the source of a Jedi's power. Despite her beliefs, Nen Yim was a skilled Adept, and was able to quickly map out Tahiri's nervous system. After Tahiri was rescued by Anakin Solo and Mezhan Kwaad was killed in battle, Nen Yim feared she would also be executed. However, she was brought before Warmaster Tsavong Lah and relegated to the work on preserving the dying worldships. She was spared her life as long as she provided the names of other heretical Shapers. Her efforts, however, had attracted the notice of Supreme Overlord Shimrra, who dispatched Nen Yim and the Master Shaper Kae Kwaad to the Baanu Miir. Nen Yim came to hate Kae Kwaad and his maniacal approach, especially when he began deflecting her from the work of keeping the worldship alive. She was surprised to learn that Kae Kwaad was actually Overlord Shimrra's jester, Onimi, when she was take to meet with Shimrra personally. Shimrra, while not condoning her work, offered her the chance to continue working beyond the known protocols of the Qang qahsa. She agreed to offer up whatever sacrifices were required to Yun-Yuuzhan in order to obtain knowledge beyond the eighth cortex of the Qang qhasa, especially after Shimrra revealed that his vision of Yuuzhan Vong conquest included Nen Yim, raised to the level of Master Shaper. She was placed in the service of Warmaster Tsavong Lah, and spent a great deal of time trying to understand why Lah's arm rejected the radank claw which had been implanted on it. She discovered that the radank claw seemed to be growing, consuming the Warmaster's flesh as it developed. Later, Nen Yim found that Ghithra Dal had been placing materials on the infected arm which made the radank claw grow. Later, after she was given access to a Sekotan starship that had been recovered, Nen Yim came to the realization that Supreme Overlord Shimrra might be a fraud. His fear of Zonama Sekot only solidified her beliefs, and Nen Yim set out to locate the living planet herself. With the help of Tahiri Veila and Corran Horn, she was able to escape Coruscant reach the living planet, along with Harrar and Nom Anor, who was disguised as the Prophet Yu'shaa. On Zonama Sekot, Nen Yim learned that her memories had been stolen to create the Riina Kwaad personality which had been implanted in Tahiri's mind. Emboldened by the existence of the planet, Nen Yim tried to make contact with Sekot by altering certain cells from Sekotan life. Her plan, to use these cells like a qahsam worked almost too well. She found herself flooded with Sekot's knowledge, and nearly passed out from the connection. She didn't live to do much more with the information, however, as Nom Anor tracked her down and killed her, so that he could attempt to destroy Zonama Sekot and regain favor with Shimrra. Before she died, Nen Yim tried to tell Tahiri what she had learned of Zonama Sekot. However, her heart failed before she could finish. (EVC, EVR, EL1, EL2, FP)

Yimi
This race of diminutive, large-skulled humanoids was created by DarkStryder as a servant race. Their large skulls contained immense brains which were flash-imprinted by DarkStryder with a wide variety of skills and loyalty to himself. However, despite the amount of brain matter they possessed, the Yimi were unable to learn new things. DarkStryder created the Yimi as twisted versions of the ancient Kathol race, as a cruel joke on his own creators. (E)

Yimmon, Thi Xon
This Cerean male was the early leader of the Whiplash organization, during the months that followed the end of the Clone Wars and the formation of the Galactic Empire. Yimmon was known for his wisdom and fighting skills, a combination that many beings compared to those of a Jedi Master. It was believed that he lived by some of the basic Jedi principles, and some beings wondered if his wisdom didn't come from a connection to the Force. Yimmon was tall for a Cerean, and his binary brains helped him manage the multi-faceted aspects of running the Whiplash organization. Several months after the formation of the Galactic Empire and the renaming of Coruscant to Imperial Center, Yimmon met with Jax Pavan to discuss Kajin Savaros and Tuden Sal. When Jax explained that Savaros was wanted by Prefect Pol Haus, Yimmon explained that the boy's continued freedom posed a threat to the safety and security of the Whiplash organization, and that Haus could be trusted to keep the boy hidden from the Imperials. Regarding Tuden Sal and his plans to use I-5YQ to assassinate Emperor Palpatine, Yimmon stated that Sal had been tasked with putting together a team to carry out dangerous missions. However, he asked Jax to search his own feeling regarding Sal's reasons for putting the mission together, and come up with his own decision on I-5YQ. Jax initially refused to take on the mission, given that I-5YQ seemed to exhibit some connection to the Force, but finally agreed when Laranth Tarak and Kajin Savaros were captured by Darth Vader. Yimmon would not have learned of the mission if Den Dhur had not made contact with him. As it was, Yimmon, Dhur, and Tuden Sal arrived at their meeting place just after Vader obtained the bota sample Laranth was hiding and consumed it. The Dark Lord was transformed into a weapon of Force energy, sending blasts of power in all directions. Vader was ultimately defeated by Haninum Tyk Rhinann, giving the survivors a chance to escape. In the aftermath of the meeting, Jax learned that Kajin had been stripped of all his memories by Vader and Probus Tesla, and that the boy would need time and patient oversight in order to regain his former self. It was Yimmon who suggested that Kajin spent time among the healers and the members of The Silent who lived on the planet Shili, and Yimmon agreed to help book passage for Kaj as soon as possible (CN3)

Yinchorr
The surface of this planet, the primary world in the Yinchorri System, was covered with rocky deserts. Leia Organa was betrayed by an Alderaanian stormtrooper on this planet, shortly before the Battle of Endor. She had been shot down during her arrival at the planet, having been betrayed by a group of Yinchorri delegates. The Imperials believed that Leia died in the crash, but the stormtrooper found her at the crashsite. He revealed that he was an Alderaanian commoner who joined the Empire because he was disgruntled with the prosperity of the royal family. Despite his anger, the stormtrooper eventually forged a bond with Leia, which was broken when he was shot and killed by Governor Wessel during Leia's escape from Yinchorr.

A few months later, Yinchorr was "cleansed" of its original inhabitants by the Empire, in order to make way for a training facility for Emperor Palpatine's elite Royal Imperial Guard. The planet was abandoned after Carnor Jax destroyed the Royal Imperial Guard facility there, shortly after the death of Emperor Palpatine's clones at Byss.

In the century that followed the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Yinchorr was once again claimed by Imperial forces, and was used as a stormtrooper training facility and staging area. However, when Darth Krayt took control of the galaxy, the stormtroopers found themselves fighting for the new Sith Empire, instead of the Empire led by Roan Fel. The majority of the troopers on the planet saw little difference in their orders, until several units were ordered to hunt down and destroy the units that remained loyal to Emperor Fel. Tensions eventually led Anson Trask to shoot and kill Darth Maleval. Note that Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 85, indicates that the Yinchorr training facility was established by the Empire well before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. The magazine also indicates that the planet was located in the Mid Rim. (CE, AOW, MC86, LTA6, SWI85, SWLN)

Yinchorri
This race of tortoise-like humanoids was native to the planet Yinchorr, and was known for their immunity to the manipulations of the Force. As a race, they were first admitted to the Old Republic shortly before the Battle of Naboo. The Yinchorri society was broken into the Intelligentsia and a warrior caste, and the Yinchorri were thought of as technophiles by the Old Republic. The Yinchorri were quick to pick up and use any form of technology, including starships and weapons, and quickly learn how to subjugate their neighbors. They also discovered the usefulness of cortosis armor, when they leanred that it was capable of stopping a lightsaber. The Yinchorri developed a form of military transportation based on the wings of insects, with a powerpack which strapped to their backs and six thin wings for propulsion. Unfortunately for the Yinchorri, they were not exceptionally intelligent, and were drawn into the machincations of Darth Sidious, who used their aggressiveness to begin attacking Republic outposts and, later, the Jedi Knights themselves. After an attack on Mayvitch 7, the Jedi Knights were called in to put an end to the so-called Yinchorri Uprising. Only after taking many losses were the Jedi able to quell the Yinchorri by destroying their base on Uhanayih and forcing the Yinchorri to surrender. After the rise of Emperor Palpatine, the Yinchorri were nearly wiped from the planet during the Imperial retaliation for their rebellion. The Empire then established a training facility on Yinchorr for the Royal Imperial Guards. Unknown to the Empire, several small clusters of Yinchorri managed to survive their extermination. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, they took control of the former Imperial training facility and used it as their governmental seat of power. They chose to remain independent from the New Republic. (AOW, CE, MC86, LTA6, UANT, NECH)

Yinchorri Uprising
This was the name given to the period of Yinchorri conquests that threatened the galaxy, during the year leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Leading up to the Uprising, the Yinchorri were drawn into the machincations of Darth Sidious, who used their aggressiveness to begin attacking Republic outposts and, later, the Jedi Knights themselves. After an attack on Mayvitch 7, the Jedi Knights were called in to put an end to the so-called Yinchorri predation. The Jedi took many losses, but were able to quell the Yinchorri by destroying their base on Uhanayih and forcing the Yinchorri to surrender. (NECH, AOW)

Ying, Valius
This massive, Rutian Twi'lek was one of the more notorious gangsters and bounty hunters who worked in the Outer Rim Territories, during the decades following the Great Sith War. Ying and his band of pirates and thugs worked from Ying's starship, the Oroko. Ying managed to track Zayne Carrick and the beings that were helping him to the Rogue Moon, hoping to recover the bounty that had been placed on Carrick's head, after he was blamed for the deaths of Shad Jelavan and several other Jedi Padawans. Marn Hierogryph managed to negotiate a deal with Ying, allowing himself, Jarael, and The Camper to go free, so long as Zayne was turned over to the authorities for the bounty. Thus, after delivering Zayne back to Jedi Master Lucien Draay, Ying was surprised to learn that Zayne was actually innocent of the murders. Taken aback by this turn of events, Ying tried to collect his credits and leave. Master Draay, however, decided that he could not let Ying leave with the knowledge of the truth, and cut the Twi'lek down with a single slash of his lightsaber. (KOR1)

Shortly before the onset of war, the hackers were wiped out by forces put together by the Corporate Alliance. The Alliance was tipped off to the facility on the asteroid by the testimony of Denlace Sachoore. A force of large, treaded tank droids was dispatched to the asteroid, and quickly dismantled the training facility. Many Old Republic Senators questioned the use of excessive force in elimianting the facility, despite the fact that the asteroid was located within the boundaries of Corporate Alliance space. (HNN4)

Yith, Limna
This notorious Kerestian assassin and her group of thigs were hired by Bel Att to help restore Black Sun's position on Yen-2, shortly before the Battle of Endor. When Yith discovered that Yen-2 was paying protection money to Black Sun, she decided to steal all the colony's computer records and sell them to the Empire. Bel Att, a loyal employee of the vigo Sprax, tried to stop her, but she killed him with her double-edged vibroblade and stole his ship. Yith was then captured and held by Nim Abek's forces on Abek's Station, but she escaped when a team sent to rescue her managed to beat Captain Surlev and the Ion Storm to the station. Yith fled to Sedri, but was captured by Mal Biron's mercenaries and forced to turn over the Barani List to Kalend Thora. (SSR)

Yiuli Mountains
Located on the planet Neftali, this mountain range separated the Yiulimar Fjords from Beija. (BSS)

Yiulimar Fjords
This vast area of icy gorges was located southwest of Beija, on the planet Neftali. Beija itself connected the fjords to the Jhunia snow plains. The icy floes were the site of a well-known swoopracing course which started in Cordel Cove and meandered over the ice. Ice fishing was also a popular sport on the Fjords. (BSS)

Yke hyon fhars oblivyn cnous oblivyn
An Old Corellian phrase which translates to "he who fears nothing, knows nothing." (SWJ7)

YKL37R
This was the MandalMotors model number of the M3-A Scyk starfighter. Note that this designation was similar to that of the YKL-37R Nova Cruiser, introduced by the Star Wars Galaxies game, although the two ships were vastly different. (LAWS, SWGAL)

YKL-37R Nova Courier
This light transport was developed by Gallofree Yards, Incorporated, as an answer to the YT-series of freighters that were produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. The hope was that the YKL-37R Nova Courier would rekindle sales for Gallofree, after their medium transport was plagued with repairs and reliability issues. The YKL-37R Nova Courier was a flat, oval-shaped craft with a pair of cargo pods mounted to the sides with heavy struts. The front of each pod was given a weapon emplacement, allowing a variety of armament configurations. The rear of the vessel was dominated by three large sublight drives. Although Gallofree went bankrupt shortly before the Battle of Yavin, the Alliance bought up large numbers of their medium transports as well as the YKL-37R Nova Courier. The YKL-37R became known for its maneuverability, especially among asteroids to avoid pursuit and in fighting off Imperial TIE Fighters. Many other YKL-37R Nova Couriers found their way into the hands of smugglers. (SWGAL)

Ylesia
This planet was covered with shallow seas broken by several island chains and three continents. The northern continent was located near the north pole, while the other two were located along the equator. The weather patterns on Ylesia were marked by incredibly wild air currents found in all layers of the atmosphere, making it difficult to land a ship there. These patterns were due mainly to the planet's swift rotation, which results in a ten-hour day. Much of the land was hidden under shallow, brackish water, resulting in swampy areas which abound with a strange fungus that thrives on fresh blood. The Hutts and t'landa Til set up a huge glitterstim processing plant on this world, using the front of a religious colony to obtain slave labor. An orbiting space station was positioned over Colony One, and was the primary debarkation point for new pilgrims and outgoing slaves. Bria Tharen and her Alliance crew often attacked slave ships leaving the space station. The planet eventually supported nine of the "religious" colonies before the Hutts started thinking about populating another world. During the era of the New Republic and the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Ylesia became a hotbed of activity and support for the Peace Brigade, and later served as the Peace Brigade's base of operations. To ensure that the Peace Brigade was free to act, the Yuuzhan Vong executed every Hutt it could find on Ylesia, but maintained the glitterstim mining operations as a way to fund the activities of the Peace Brigade. About four years into the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, the New Republic launched an all-out assault on Ylesia, managing to defeat the alien invaders and retake Ylesia. (TPS, RD, BP, EVR, Y, UF)

Ylesian Dream
Han Solo stowed away aboard this automated barge when it was docked to the Trader's Luck. He managed to get the ship to Ylesia with the help of its R2-series pilot. Later, after being hired by Teroenza as a pilot, he used the Dream to train and perform routine transport runs. Han tried to train Muuurgh as a gunner, but had relatively poor luck. The Dream was hyperdrive-equipped. They were flying a shipment of glitterstim in it when they were attacked by pirates and forced to stop over on Alderaan. There, Han obtained medical help help for Muuurgh while attempting to sell some of the spice. Later, when Han and Bria tried to escape from Ylesia, Jalus Nebl flew the Dream in between the Helot's Shackle and broke a tractor beam lock, allowing them to escape. Nebl took the Dream and fled into hyperspace. He later joined the Alliance, and renamed the ship Dream of Freedom. (TPS, RD)

Ylesian Republic
This was the term used to describe the government formed by the Ylesian Senate, after Thrackan Sal-Solo was appointed President of Ylesia and Commander in Chief of the Peace Brigade. (Y)

Ylesian Senate
This was the name of the governing body of the planet Ylesia, after it had been taken over by the Peace Brigade. Originally known as the Alliance of Twelve, the Senate was composed of some sixty members at its height. Despite the name "Senate", the group was made up of a wide variety of criminals and renegades who were constantly fighting over their own agendas. Thrackan Sal-Solo, after being named President of Ylesia and Commander in Chief of the Peace Brigade by Supreme Overlord Shimrra, took control of the Senate in an effort to focus the activities of the Peace Brigade. The Senate, however, didn't like the fact that they had to answer to Sal-Solo, and formed a temporary alliance to bring about his downfall. The Senate, when combined with Sal-Solo as President, formed the so-called Ylesian Republic. (Y)

Ylix
This backwater planet was the birthplace of Gallandro. For many centuries, the inhabitants of Ylix were embroiled in a civil war with their planetary neighbors from Goelitz. The actual cause of the feud had been forgotten, but the bitterness remained for many generations. The Imperial Moff of the sector promised to peacefully resolve the wars, but he was soon worried about other matters and the battles continued to rage. Eventually, Ylix forces - with Gallandro as one of their leaders - defeated the forces from Goelitz, ending the dispute in bloody fashion. (CSA, EGC)

Y'luubi
This species of fish was one of many creatures that evolved on the planet Coruscant, after the Yuuzhan Vong reshaped the planet into a simulacrum of their homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar. These edible fish were found in Liberation Lake, and were harvested for their tasty flesh. Truly skillful chefs could take advantage of the spongy texture of the flesh, infusing it with various flavors and aromas that exciting the taster's palate as the meat literally dissolved on their tongue.

Yn
This planet was a member world of the New Republic. (TNR)

Yncha
This huge, slug-like creature was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong as a form of orbital attack creature. Comparable in size to an immense space slug, the yncha had a wedge-shaped head that was dominated by an eighty-meter-wide mouth. A pouch was located on its back. The mission of the yncha was to literally consume space stations and orbital facilities, removing them as first lines of defense for planets that the Yuuzhan Vong wanted to conquer. The creature first disabled a station's shields by consuming the energy that powered them. Then, using its wide mouth, the yncha took pieces of the station in its mouth and crushed them. Often, small landing craft were affixed to the hide of the yncha, allowing Yuuzhan Vong warriors to quickly enter the station and eliminate any opposition. (UF)

Ynos
This native of the planet Anobis was the leader of his farming village. When Han Solo and Anja Gallandro arrived on the planet, it was Ynos who first greeted them. He also reluctantly agreed to meet with Elis, based on the ingrained hatred he witnessed in Anja. With Elis, they worked out the beginnings of a cease-fire to the civil war they had been fighting. (ROM)

Ynr, Rhysati
A native to Bespin, this woman was a member of Rogue Squadron of X-Wing pilots, during the early years of the New Republic. Rhysati eventually married Nawara Ven, and they took up residence on the planet Coruscant. Some three years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, Rhysati agreed to pilot a starfighter during the attempt to save the planet Kessel from destruction, after Han and Leia Solo discovered strange caches of explosives in the caverns beneath the planet's surface. She flew her personal starfighter during the mission, an Eta-5 Interceptor that had been painted a deep blue color, and lacking in any military or governmental designations. (XWN, FJ1)

Yoda
This incredibly aged Jedi Master was regarded as one of the primary leaders of the Jedi Council, in the decades leading up the to fall of the Old Republic. Along with Mace Windu and Ki-Adi-Mundi, the 860-year-old Yoda was a strong voice in the Council's decisions. A master of appearing old and frail, Yoda was an expert swordsbeing and teacher. He attained the rank of Jedi Master at a mere 100 years of age, and taught many Padawans during the following centuries. More than 100 years before the Battle of Naboo, Yoda served as one of the Jedi Masters working aboard the Chu'unthor before it was lost on Dathomir. 700 years old at the time, Yoda returned to Coruscant in defeat, and resolved to spent his time on the Jedi Council, guiding the Jedi Order with the help of the Force. He never revealed his race or homeworld, preferring to maintain an air of mystery. Like many other Jedi Masters, Yoda continued to teach while sitting on the Council, and was responsible for the early training of Obi-Wan Kenobi. However, when Qui-Gin Jinn brought nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker before the Council, Yoda was one of the few who voted not to train the boy. He was overruled, and Obi-Wan Kenobi was appointed the boy's master. A decade passed, and Yoda became increasingly aware of the presence of the Dark Side of the Force in the galaxy. However, he underestimated its strength, and the Jedi Council was blinded to the creation of a clone army on the planet Kamino. When the Separatists - led by one of Yoda's former Padawans, Count Dooku - rose up on Geonosis, Yoda was asked to take command of the clone troopers and answer the Separatist threat. Although he managed to save a handful of Jedi and defeat the Separatists' droid armies, Yoda was unable to prevent Dooku's escape. Like other Jedi Masters of the time, Yoda agreed to take up the role of a military General, and led several missions for the Old Republic, most notably to Vjun and Kashyyyk. However, Yoda - like the rest of the Jedi Council - failed to locate Darth Sidious before it was too late. When Chancellor Palpatine revealed that he was the Sith Lord, he moved swiftly to eliminate as many Jedi as he could. Yoda managed to escape Kashyyyk, only to learn from Obi-Wan and Bail Organa that the Jedi had been outlawed. Yoda tried to confront Darth Sidious back on Coruscant, but came to realize that he was totally unprepared for the Sith's power. Yoda also realized that the Jedi Order had been preparing to meet a possible Sith threat based on information from the Battle of Ruusan, a thousand years earlier. Instead, the Sith had been adapting to the changes of the galaxy, and the Jedi had become arrogant enough to believe that the old ways were the only ways to handle things. Thus, any actions the Jedi Council could have taken against Sidious would have been - and, ultimately were - utterly useless. Rather than fight Palpatine and surely die, Yoda chose to flee Coruscant and fight back in other ways. On Polis Massa, he was visited by the spirit of Qui-Gon Jinn, who had somehow discovered the ancient teachings of the Whills and learned to affect the real world even in death. Qui-Gon then offered Yoda the chance to learn the techniques, and Yoda gratefully agreed to become Qui-Gon's apprentice. Yoda later learned of the birth of Padme' Amidala Skywalker's twins, and decided with Obi-Wan to separate them and place them in hiding. The two surviving Jedi hoped that the children would one day be strong enough to oppose Palpatine. Yoda then fled to Dagobah in hopes of eluding the Jedi purge by hiding among the intense life-force of the creatures there. Note that Jedi Search indicates that Yoda had remained hidden on Dagobah for centuries. He remained on Dagobah, and was eventually caught up in the Dark Jedi rebellion that engulfed Bpfassh as he was forced to destroy their leader when they fled to Dagobah. A period of relative tranquility passed for Yoda, until the spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi directed Luke Skywalker to seek out the old Jedi Master. When Luke discovered Yoda on Dagobah, following the Battle of Hoth, Yoda was almost 900 years old. His dimuntive, elf-like appearance - along with his with greenish-blue skin, wide eyes, and large pointed ears - gave Luke no indication of his true identity. His archaic form of Basic was difficult for the youth to understand, especially after Yoda revealed himself and claimed to have watched over Luke's development for as long as Luke had been alive. Although Luke believed that he was ready for Jedi training, Yoda did not know if he would be able to train Luke or not, for he and Obi-Wan Kenobi realized that Luke might be the last of the Jedi Knights. Yoda eventually decided to train Luke, putting the young man through months of hard exertion, both mental and physical, hoping to either fashion him into a Jedi or break his will. Luke persevered, although he broke off his training in a vain attempt to rescue Han Solo and Leia Organa on Cloud City. Luke returned to Dagobah to complete his training, but the previous effort was too much for Yoda's aging body. He gave Luke the knowledge that he had become a Jedi Knight, and that Leia Organa was actually his twin sister, before finally dying of old age. Yoda's body disappeared into the Force, a technique that he had learned from the spirit of Qui-Gon Jinn.

Luke later learned that Yoda had taken part in the events on Dathomir, along with the Jedi Masters Gra'aton and Vulatan, and foretold that the last of the Jedi Knights would someday come and defeat the Nightsisters. This would mark the end of the world as the witches knew it, and reshape their lives in profound ways. The Jedi Knight Yoda saw as Luke Skywalker. Yoda also foretold that Luke would be able to reveal the secret of the hundreds of reader disks that the Jedi kept with the witches of the Light Side (passed down to Rell), and that he would share them with the Dathomir witches. Note that Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Wild Space indicates that Yoda was born during the early years of the Galactic Republic, and witnessed the Republic's growing pains. (E5, E5R, E6, CPL, E1, RF, E2, VD2, SWDB, NEGC, E3N, JS, CWWS, LLOW)

Yoda's Fountain
This fountain was constructed in the city of Coronet, on the planet Corellia, in honor of Jedi Master Yoda, during the years following the end of the Clone Wars. The fountain was built in remembrance of Master Yoda's actions and contributions to galactic peace, and was kept active despite the growing Imperial presence on the planet. Those beings who supported the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War often visited the fountain on Remembrance Day. (SWGAL)

Yo'Gand
A legendary Yuuzhan Vong warrior, he was credited with uniting the various warring Yuuzhan Vong clans by ending the Cremlevian War. Using a bold move that became known as Yo'Gand's Core, he employed a dovin basal to destroy Ygziir, the home planet of one of the largest clans. Near the end of the battle Yo'Gand defeated the then-current Warmaster, Steng, assuming the position of Warmaster for the Yuuzhan Vong. However, the effects of the Cremlevian War left the Yuuzhan Vong's home galaxy a lifeless collection of worlds, forcing them to travel into the intergalactic void and seek out the New Republic. (VP, GMR8, NJOSB)

Yo'Gand's Core
This tactic was developed by the legendary Yuuzhan Vong warrior Yo'Gand during the Cremlevian War. At the "core" of his plan was the use of a strong dovin basal to drag the home planet of one of the largest clans, Ygziir, into a collision with its moon. With this clan utterly destroyed, Yo'Gand was able to defeat Steng and eventually unite all Yuuzhan Vong clans, thus ending the Cremlevian War. Nom Anor and Da'Gara later used the tactic in an effort to destroy the planet Sernpidal, during the initial stages of their invasion of the known galaxy. (VP, NJOSB)

Yoggoy
This was one of the many hives that made up the Colony. Like all other hives within the Colony, the members of the Yoggoy hive referred to themselves, as well as the entire nest, as Yoggoy, and acted upon the Will of the Yoggoy hive. The members of the Yoggoy hive were similar in appearance to the Lizil, but had scarlet carapaces and stood two meters or more in height. The Yoggoy were considered to be the soldiers of the Colony. The Yoggoy lived on a planet that was also known as Yoggoy. A large portion of the Yoggoy were changed by the integration of Raynar Thul into their hive, when his connection to the Force gave rise to a new hive of insects. This new hive became known as the Unu. (DN1)

Yoggoy
This was the name of the planet that was colonized by the Yoggoy hive of the Colony. Like all Colony worlds, Yoggoy was located in the Unknown Regions, and its system bordered on the edges of Chiss space. It was here that the Tachyon Flier crashed, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. This event, known as Ub Ruur in the language of the Colony, became known as The Crash, and marked the beginning of a period of intense expansion by the Colony. (DN1)

Yoghurt Plant

Yoke of Seeming
This ancient Sith device was discovered by the Sith Lord Uburluh, some time before the Great Sith War. Uburluh and his fellow scientists discovered that the Yoke of Seeming had once been part of a larger device, but that it also operated on its own. They found that, when placed on the neck of a Force-sensitive being, the Yoke of Seeming caused the Living Force to flow around the wearer. Other Force users would then be unable to perceive the wearer through the Force, and their ability to read the wearer's intentions became clouded. In this way, the wearer could move among a group of Jedi or Sith without them discovering what the wearer was up to. (KOR10)

(LF5)

Yomm, Bola
Auren Yomm's mother, Bola was infected with the Ruse virus by the evil Governor Koong, during the early years of the New Order. Mungo Baobab and his droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO traveled to Tawntoom to rescue Auren Yomm and her father, Nilz, who understood how to eradicate the virus. Their rescue attempt was successful, and Bola was able to recover from the virus. (DCAR)

Yonka, Sair
This Imperial Captain commanded the Avarice during the years after the Battle of Endor. Prior to serving under Ysanne Isard, he spent most of his career in the Outer Rim chasing pirates and protecting convoys. He was known as a smart and calculating officer, who worked to maximize his chances for survival. A native of Commenor, he grew up and fell in love with a woman named Aellyn, who later married Moff Riit Jandi after Yonka left for the Imperial Academy. When they met each other years later on Elshandruu Pica, they started an illicit affair with the help of Kina Margath. When word of this affair reached the ears of Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron, through the droid Poe, they used it to convince Yonka to renounce his Imperial commission and join the New Republic. He accepted Wedge's proposal, and brought the Avarice and most of its crew with him. Those crewmen who wished to remain in Imperial service hijacked a Lambda-class shuttle and forced Yonka's forces to destroy them. The Star Destroyer was renamed the Freedom and was the first ship to fire on the Lusankya during the Battle of Thyferra. However, the Freedom also took heavy damage, and was disabled and adrift at the end of the fighting. Both Yonka and the Freedom survived, and Yonka became a member of the New Republic's commanders in chief during the struggle against Grand Admiral Thrawn. (BW, IR)

Yonna, Graf
This man, a native of the planet Bront, was driven insane when the Empire subjugated the planet and killed his family.

He also allied himself with the Alliance, although he was something of a loose cannon and messed up more missions than he helped. (CRO)

Yonsen, Swifty
This man was known as one of the more fearsome hired guns of the Inner Rim. He earned his reputation through a series of misadventures, not from any real talent. However, his reptuation actually saved him from several firefights.

Yopayomba, Pyash
This female Quara Aqualish was known as the Pirate Queen of Ando during the height of the New Order, a title she earned by raiding all manner of ocean-going vessels during her career. Dressed from head to toe in black clothing and armor, Pyash was a formidable figure even before she entered a fight. When the battle started to turn against her pirates, Pyash joined the fighting with her long vibroblade, cutting down her victims with great skill and little remorse. Her pirate vessel was also painted black, and was a modernized version of a traditional sailing vessel. In place of actual sails, the ship had specialized repulsor fins, giving the pirate vessel incredible speed and maneuverability in the water. Among the vessels she captured and refitted for her own use was the Nanda's Luck, which she took after beheading its former Captain, Bipopa Bogzider. She then removed the mineral-fish shells from her hold and filled the vessel with explosives. Her plan was to have Sissalik sail the Nanda's Luck into the Quantill City harbor and detonate it, hoping to pin the explosion and the resulting death and destruction on a group of Aquala radicals. She had been led to believe that the Imperial governor of Ando would pay her handsomely for starting a civil war between the Aquala and the Quara, a war which the Empire could use to fully subjugate the Aqualish. Her plans failed, though, when Sissalik reprogrammed the autopilot on the Nanda's Luck, ramming the ship into Pyash's own flagship, the Majestic. All hands on board, including Pyash herself, were killed in the explosion. (PH)

Yorba, Guk
This Neimoidian was one of the many flunkies of the Trade Federation who were dispatched to take control of the planet Maramere, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (JSF)

Yorbo
This being was a native of the planet Tyne's Horky, and a known droid abuser, during the early years of the New Order. It was Yorbo who purchased R2-D2 and C-3PO at auction, only to trade the droids to Jann Tosh shortly afterward. Yorbo, who worked for Kreb Zellock, believed that the trade was more to his own benefit. When he told Zellock about it, Zellock ordered Yorbo to capture Jann, on whom he had placed a bounty. After discovering the truth behind Kez-Iban's past, Yorbo and Zellock tried to increase their fortunes by collecting the bounty on him as well. However, their plans turned sour when R2-D2 and C-3PO helped Jann and Jess Meade rescue Kez-Iban and exposed Zellock's plans. When Yorbo realized that Zellock planned to betray him, he helped Jann knock Zellock unconscious. They later split Zellock's fortune and went their separate ways. (DCAR)

Yordor

Yoribuunt
This immense gas giant was located on the border of Hutt Space. Its appearance from space was a swirl of red and yellow gases, mixing together in ever-changing patterns that made the planet quite beautiful to behold. (WOA22)

Yorik Coral
This form of coral was found in the galaxy inhabited by the Yuuzhan Vong. They bio-engineered the coral to grow to massive sizes, and then formed it into living spaceships they called worldships. The worldships themselves resembled nothing more than asteroids when observed on standard scanners and sensors, allowing the Yuuzhan Vong to enter an area virtually undetected. When the Praetorite Vong invaded the galaxy, they had planned to use the dead world of Belkadan as a yorik coral breeding ground. The New Republic discovered that the Yuuzhan Vong captured slaves and used them to breed the coral. Small buds of coral were carried to captive slaves by creepers, which inserted the young buds into the slave's flesh. The coral - known as yorik-kul - kept the slave from revolting while it drew nourishment from the bodily fluids and energy of the host. It was later learned that the yorik coral used to create the Yuuzhan Vong starships aged like most other biological organism. By the time some of them reached the known galaxy, their interior components had begun to simply die out. Bioluminescent polyps stopped providing light, and organisms created to regulate temperature were unable to continue. (VP, DTO, HT, NEGW)

Yorik-akaga
This was the Yuuzhan Vong term for one of their picket ships, used to patrol the boundaries of their naval fleets. (UF)

Yorik-et
This was the Yuuzhan Vong term for a coralskipper. (NJOSB)

Yorik-kul
This was the form of yorik coral used by the Yuuzhan Vong to control their slaves. A piece of yorik-kul was implanted into the body of a slave, usually near the neck. Because the yorik-kul was linked to its parent coral, it could be sent signals that were then imposed onto the will of the victim. Over time, the yorik-kul multiplied within the body of its victim, with coral spawn taking hold throughout the victim's body. In this way, the entire body was eventually at the mercy of the original coral. The introduction of yorik-kul into a non-Yuuzhan Vong body caused physical deterioration over time, as the coral spawn consumed the energy being created by the victim. It was also discovered that, over time, yorik-kul served to cut off a victim's connection to the Force. (NEGW)

Yorik-stronha
This was the Yuuzhan Vong version of a picket ship, although its primary mission was reconnaissance and espionage. Like all Yuuzhan Vong warships, the yorik-stronha was created from living yorik coral, and resembled nothing more than a large asteroid. These ships averaged about 228 meters in length, and allowed a crew of twelve officer and twelve warriors to observe a remote location with minimal chances of being detected. These should were well-armed, having ten volcano cannons and a complement of dovin basals in case there was any fighting. Additionally, the yorik-stronha ship could transport up 142 metric tons of cargo. (FH3, NJOSB)

Yorik-ta
This was the basic Yuuzhan Vong form of escape pod. Roughly the size of an average landspeeder, the unarmed yorik-ta escape craft had a single dovin basal for maneuverability, and had a transparent canopy. (NEGV)

Yorik-trema
This was a form of landing craft developed by the Yuuzhan Vong. Formed of vastiv membranes covering a skeleton of yorik coral, these craft were designed to transport forces to the surface of a planet. Most of these were unarmed, and had to be escorted by coralskippers during their descent. Yorik-trema were shaped to have a number of sensitive eye, which were trained to maintain contact with the coralskipper escort during the descent. These craft were equipped with ablative shields formed from living scales, which would be burned off during descent but later regenerated like skin tissue. The ground forces transported within the yorik-trema were discharged to the surface of a planet via modified molleung worms. The average yorik-trema measured 34 meters in length, and was sometimes armed with a pair of volcano cannons and several dovin basals. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels indicates that the yorik-trema was forty-eight meters in length. This craft required a crew of four to operate, and could transport up to 36 troops and 35 metric tons of cargo. (BP, NJOSB, NEGV)

Yorik-vec
This was the primary Yuuzhan Vong assault cruiser, filling the gap between the coralskippers and the corvettes of their unusual fleet. These ships were dedicated warships, used for space combat more than transporting troops to battle arenas. On average, the Yorik-vec cruiser measured thirty meters in length, and required a creew of two pilots and three gunners to operate. The ship also had the capacity to handle eight additional passengers and up to 100 metric tons of materiel. The Yorik-vec cruiser was armed with a turret-mounted quad volcanic cannon, as well as four twin volcanic cannons. (GMR8)

York, Bownan
This individual was Plat Mallar's flight instructor, when Mallar joined the New Republic Navy on Coruscant. (SOL)

Yorlin
This Imperial stormtrooper was stationed aboard the Iron Fist during Warlord Zsinj's campaigns against the New Republic. When the Warlord hosted the senior members of the Hawk-bat Independent Space Force, Yorlin tried to rough up Lieutenant Dissek. Dissek, who was actually Kell Tainer, retaliated to the rough treatment, giving Yorlin a concussion and knocking out a few of his teeth. (IF)

Yorn
This wealthy Baron left his holdings on the planet Coruscant and traveled to the moon Kalakar Six, a century before the Battle of Yavin. Yorn was interested in the Dark Side of the Force, and had heard that Kalakar Six was a nexus of Dark Side power. He and his followers built a lavish fortress on the moon, to serve as the base from which they explored the Dark Side of the Force. One of the regular supply ships to Kalakr Six returned to find the entire group of Dark Side devotees dead, except for Yorn, who had gone mad and ripped out his eyes and tongue. (T9)

Yorn Skot
This gas giant was known as a source of natural tibanna gas, although it was not naturally spin-sealed like the tibanna gas found in Bespin's atmosphere. Some six years prior to the Battle of Naboo, the planet was essentially owned and governed by Clode Rhoden, without any intervention from the Old Republic. (TAE)

Yorn Skot Mining Station
This was the largest of the tibanna gas-mining stations owned by Clode Rhoden, and situated in orbit within Yorn Skot's tibanisphere. It was targeted by the environmental terrorist group known as the Green Force, who felt that Rhoden was stripping the planet of certain gases that supported unusual forms of life. Madam Rhoden and her consort, the terrorist known as Buck, had planned to destroy the station in an effort to expose Clode Rhoden's activities. However, Clode Rhoden discovered their affair, and planned to kill them both aboard the station. That way, he could claim the station was destroyed by the Green Forge, and claim the insurance money. Their plans were thwarted by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the Captain of the Aurorient Express detonated the core bomb before it could reach the station. (TAE)

Yoro
The roots of this plant were dried and ground into a fine powder, which was then mixed with liquids to form an indelible pigment that was often used in tattooes. (VD)

Yorr
This Imperial Captain was a former member of the Emperor's Demonstration Team, who later served as a test pilot on various TIE prototypes. He served as Jendon's wingman during several missions before co-piloting Darth Vader's personal shuttle prior to the Battle of Endor. (CCG11)

Yorta, Raal
This man was a smooth-talking cardshark and starship pilot, who plied the spacelanes during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. He followed in his father's footsteps, although he was careful to never actually compare himself to his father. For much of his career, Raal worked with Sammie Staable and Smiley the Squib, obtaining credits whenever and wherever they could find them. However, after Raal failed to acquire the correct permits during the capture of Ten-Suckers Madoom, Sammie grew exasperated. He then explained to Raal that he was stealing his starship and joining the Alliance. Sammie then explained that he was also taking Raal with him, so it was actually stealing. Raal could only stammer as he was carted off to his ship. Their escape from Ord Mantell brought them into contact with Kestrel, and the four of them set off to determine why the Alliance agent known as Tiree was trying to lead them on a wild goose chase. (RR, RNTB)

Yortal's Emporium
This general store was owned and operated by Yortal Ixlis, in the Ahto East section of Ahto City, on the planet Manaan, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (KOTOR)

Yorub, Jaius
This Sullustan male served as a Captain in the Galactic Alliance navy, during the years following the Sith-Imperial War. Captain Yorub was stationed on the Indomitable, serving under Admiral Gar Stazi, during the mission to steal the Imperious from the Mon Calamari shipyards. Yorub questioned the plan, worried that it sounded like the debacle that occurred at the Battle of Caamas. Yorub had been one of Stazi's chief advisors during the planning stages of Piers Petan's attack on Emperor Roan Fel, and helped develop Stazi's own plan to prevent an utter disaster at Caamas. During the planning of the raid on the Imperious, Yorub also worried about the role being played by Gial Gahan, who was risking his life to give the Galactic Alliance a chance to gain access to the Calamari shipyards. It was Yorub and Stazi who developed the attack plan, using Stazi's knowledge of Imperial Admiral Dru Valan's tactics to ensure that Alliance forces were able to overcome Valan's own plans. However, Yorub knew that Stazi had planned to sacrifice his life in order to ensure the Alliance's escape from Calamari. Yorub could not see the Galactic Alliance surviving without Stazi, so he arranged for Jhoram Bey to rendezvous with the Indomitable and take the Admiral to safety, while Yorub remained behind. At the last instant, Yorub flew the Indomitable directly into the Mon Calamari shipyards, sacrificing his life while destroying a large part of the shipyards and ensuring the the Alliance forces escaped with the Imperious. (SWLI)

Yorva-9
This Lambda-class shuttle was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong, shortly after their victory at Falleen. Using a surge-coral-controlled slave, the Yuuzhan Vong flew the shuttle into evacuation efforts on worlds such as Druckenwell, where an alien ship might be stopped quickly. The use of a familiar ship allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to get close to transports and freighters carrying refugees, such as the Chilastra, so that warriors could board the refugee ships and search for Jedi Knights or other worthy beings to sacrifice. During the attempt to capture Ka-Tu-Un, the Captain of the Chilastra actually opened a landing bay for the Yorva-9, unaware of the Yuuzhan Vong crew hiding inside. (GMR8)

Yorvin
This woman served as a security officer aboard Toryaz Station, in orbit near Kuat, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Distinguished by her red hair and thin body, Lieutenant Yorvin was among the officers who were assigned to investigate the deaths of Aidel Saxan and Gilad Pellaeon's bodyguard, during a series of negotiations between the Galactic Alliance and the leaders of the Corellian System. She was thwarted in her mission when she confronted Wedge Antilles and Tycho Celchu, who used a mixture of confusing banter and outright threats to take over the investigation. (LF1)

Yosa, Darubang
This woman was ostensibly the leader of the Clicksticks tribe of survivors, on the planet Iego, for many years. Those beings who managed to locate her on the planet learned that she had been living on Iego for more than a century. (WOTC, GORW)

Yosger
This being was a well-known smuggling baron who maintained a base on the moon of Carz. During the Galactic Civil War, he branched out into the profitable business of weapons running and armament supply. Yosger wasn't especially intelligent or reputable, and many of his customers were angry when he couldn't meet their orders. He was eventually neutralized by Nilya Fek'ra and a group of freelance mercenaries. (GMH)

Yosh
This was a Falleen expletive. (CN1)

Yoss
This Gungan was a member of the Grand Army during the Battle of Naboo. (SWRPG)

Yougga
This female Zabrak and her band of friends formed a smuggling operation in the Cularin System, during the final years of the Old Republic. They struggled for many months with the simplest of issues, from deciding what to smuggle to figuring out how to earn enough credits to buy a ship. (FOC2)

Young Security Squad
After The Young defeated the elders of the Daan and Melida, they began taking steps to bring a new government to the city of Zehava and the planet Melida/Daan. Led by Nield, the new government established the Young Security Squad to ensure no further uprising occurred. The original leader of the squad was the thirteen-year-old Obi-Wan Kenobi, who had renounced his Jedi training to remain on Melida/Daan with The Young. (UP)

Young, The
Made up of the teenagers from the societies of the Melida and the Daan, The Young were considered a minor nuisance to their elders. However, The Young maintained no affiliation to either faction, instead remaining neutral despite their individual heritages. Many of them were orphaned when their parents and family were killed in one of the battles for control of Zehava. About a decade before the Battle of Naboo, The Young was formed by the disenchanted children who witnessed their parents fighting endlessly over a few square meters of ground, spending credits on military supplies while children went hungry and fell sick due to lack of medical supplies. The Young hated the way that their parents used the children as free labor in munitions factories. The Young recognized that the war was destroying viable farmland and continuing a hatred between the Melida and the Daan that was based on petty incidents in the distant past. They hated the fact that their parents revered the dead more than they cared for their own children, and stayed away from the Halls of Evidence at all times. Members of The Young rescued Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Melida, in an effort to stop the violence and prevent the Old Republic from being blackmailed into taking sides the civil war. However, The Young were no less militant that their parents, and were capable of causing great damage on their own. With the help of Obi-Wan, The Young were able to convince the Middle Generation to support their cause, and eventually defeated the elders of the Daan and Melida. Their leadership was quickly shattered, though, as Nield ignored the basic needs of his people and was overruled one several counts by Cerasi and Obi-Wan. (DOD, UP)

Youngling
This was a Basic term that was adopted by many races to describe their children. The Jedi Order of the Old Republic regarded younglings as any student of the Force who was too young to be chose as a Padawan learner. Younglings were usually trained in groups by a single Jedi Master, who taught them the basics of controlling the Force. Among the first lessons taught to younglings was the belief that fear led to anger; that anger then led to hate; that hate then led to suffering; and that these feelings and emotions were the stuff of the Dark Side of the Force. Younglings were also taught that the only thing that they needed to master was themselves, so that they were able to control their own emotions and thereby become attuned to the Light Side of the Force. (E2, MJH, CWWS)

Youngster
This was the callsign of one of the pilots who served in the Black Eight Squadron under Juno Eclipse, during the height of the New Order. Youngster, who was named for the fact that he had recently graduated from the Imperial Academy, followed Eclipse into the squadron. Eclipse viewed him as a potential candidate to lead the squadron at some point, but Youngster was transferred to another unit in the wake of the Battle of Callos. He was assigned to piloting a transport during the Imperial occupation of Kashyyyk, and was belived to have been among the pilots who were killed when Darth Vader' secret apprentice, the Starkiller, destroyed the Imperial skyhook that was tethered to the planet. (TFUN)

Yount

Youp, Talrin
This female Bith spent a number of years wandering the galaxy as a technician before returning to her homeworld of Clak'Dor VII during the height of the New Order to become a teacher. She discovered that she had a knack not only for understanding technology, but for explaining it in terms that non-technical beings could understand. Talrin was hired by Nozho University, and her talents made her the de facto professor for the handful of non-Bith who attended the school. The only problem with her skills as a teacher were in her ability to grasp the mood of her audience. She lacked the ability to notice when her students were bored, and often rambled on without adding any life to her lectures. (GORW)

Yo'uqiol
This carnivorous, mobile plant was discovered by the Rodians on their colony world of Ooo-sek. The name literally means "the hand of death," and was given because of its abundance and resiliency. The Empire even collected specimens for its own experiments. The yo'uqiol appeared to be a hybrid of plant and animal species, with roots that extend below the soil to collect water and tentacles which it ued to capture its prey. The average yo'uqiol measured 30 centimeters across, although Rodian hunters have told stories of specimens which measured five meters across, and resembled a flat flower. Surrounding the central body was a flat membrane tipped with tentacles, while the body contained a mouth and stinging spines. They fed on virtually anything that stumbled upon them, and this variety of diet made them healthy and adaptable. (COG)

Yo'uqiol
This Rodian word, pronounced "YO-ooo-qui-ol," literally translated to "the hand of death." (COG)

Yowza, Joh
Born J'ywz'gnk Kchhllbrxcstk Et'nrmdndlcvtbrx, this Yuzzum was a thief as well as the male lead singer for the Max Rebo Band. The name "Joh Yowza" was given to him by Sy Snootles when he was asked to join the band, in an effort to make him recognizeable to most humans. Joh had been ostracized from his herd on Endor because he was considered too small to hunt. He stood nearly half a meter shorter than the average Yuzzum, and was often left behind on rugger hunts. On one of his solitary treks, Joh managed to stow away on a ship owned by Roark Garnet, who discovered the Yuzzum and nicknamed him "Furball." It was Garnet who taught Joh how to speak Basic. While on a stopover on Nar Shaddaa, Joh heard the music of the Max Rebo Band at Uncle Chesko's. He broke into song in the audience, and so astounded the band that they hired him on the spot. When the band traveled to Tatooine to play for Jabba the Hutt, they were forced to hide Joh because Jabba hated Yuzzum. However, Joh's incredible singing voice convinced the crimelord that not all Yuzzum were bad. After Jabba's death, Joh fled to Mos Eisley and signed on as a singer on a small passenger liner. (RJSE, CCG9, MTSE, SWI67)

Yoxgit
This male Ugnaught lived on Cloud City, during the height of the New Order, working as a security systems technician for A'roFilter. However, he never fully embraced the corporate lifestyle, and maintained several illicit contacts in the outpost's criminal underworld. On the side, Yoxgit sold tibanna gas to Hermi Odle, and spent the credits he made on fabulous clothing and expensive speeders. When the Empire garrisoned the Cloud City outpost, Yoxgit booked passage to Tatooine, hoping to avoid any Imperial entanglements. Although he hoped to return there someday, Yoxgit held no illusions about the Empire being overthrown by the Alliance to Restore the Republic.

On Tatooine, Yoxgit was hired by Hermi Odle to retrofit the security systems in Jabba the Hutt's palace. He also found work supplying various weapons for Hermi Odle, and kept tabs on Pote Snitkin and Wam "Blam" Lufba for the Baragwin. For his work in the palace, Yoxgit was awarded a chance to travel on Jabba's sail barge to the Pit of Carkoon, to witness the execution of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker. Unfortunately for Yoxgit, Jabba was killed by Leia Organa, and Skywalker was able to rescue her and Solo. Yoxgit tried to kill Organa for murdering Jabba, but he died when the sail barge exploded.

Yoya
When translated into Basic, this Bocce interrogative word meant "who". (GPB)

Yperio Program
This droid communications programming was created by Yperio Baobab, some 200 years before the Galactic Civil War. The Yperio Program provided droids with the ability to communicate in a more expansive way than ever before. Previously, droid communications were limited to a set of yes/no questions, as "talking" droids were only capable of providing "yes" or "no" as their answer. With the Yperio Program, Baobab gave droids the ability to communicate on a wide range of sensory data, although this communication was limited to interactions between droids. The language used by these droid became known as Bab-Prime. However, this paved the way for more interpretive programming that allowed for complex interactions between droids and organics.

Baobab Merchant Fleet personnel expanded and refined the programming during the ensuing decades, until a cybersociologist figured out a way to inject a so-called "essence of personality" into it. The goal of this new programming was to allow for a more "human" flavor to droid communications, but the end-result was much stranger. The new programming acted live a computer virus, infecting droids in any number of ways, not the least of which was the development of emotions. Note that the Star Wars Galactic Phrase Book and Travel Guide indicates that Yperio Baobab developed his breakthrough programming just 200 years before the Galactic Civil War, despite the fact that talking droids show up in the Tales of the Jedi comics, several millennia earlier. (GPB)

YQ-400 Monitor
This was a droid-controlled patrol ship produced by the Nerfworks, otherwise known as Shipyard Lab 6671-X42. Measuring 36 meters in length, the YQ-400 was armed with a pair of laser cannons and four heavy ion cannons. Its primary mission profile was to patrol the outer edges of a solar system, watching for incoming starships while running with passive sensors. When an incoming ship was spotted, the YQ-400 scanned it for identification and then passed the information onto the system's primary starship control center. If the controllers responded with an all-clear signal, the YQ-400 broke off its pursuit to return to its patrol. Until the all-clear signal was received, the YQ-400 trailed the incoming ship, prepared to fire at it if provoked. While the design of the ship was sound, the Monitor lacked enough firepower to deter a serious threat. (GMR10)

YQ-series Patrol Ship
This was the designation of the line of droid-controlled system patrol craft which were jointly developed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation and Loronar Corporation, at the Shipyard Lab 6671-X42. Many of the designs for the YQ-series were never produced, but the YQ-400 Monitor proved to be one of the most popular ships in the series. (GMR10)

Yractos
This was one of the largest cities found on the planet Gyndine. (HNN5)

Yrak Pootzck
This was the term used by the True Ubese to describe those members of the Ubese culture who fled the destruction of their system and migrated to Ubertica. The phrase implies the cowardly ways and impure parentage of the Ubertica Ubese population. (SESB)

Yrashu
This Force-sensitive race of green primates was native to the planet Baskarn. The Yrashu live in harmony with their environment, and create ceremonial maces from the roots of the Hmumfmumf tree. They eat the Mmhmm butterflies as a source of food. Those Yrashu which were tainted by the Dark Side of the Force were known collectively as The Low. They were tolerated by society, but looked down upon as delinquents and beings of low character. Most Yrashu speak in a strange language dominated by combinations of "schwa" and "mm" sounds. (SWJ2, AE)

YR-class Freighter
This was a series of Corellian Engineering Corporation freighters that was based on the popular YT-class vessel. (A)

Yresilini
This was a dim-witted alien race known for its inability to grasp advanced concepts. Many xenobiologists considered the Yresilini to be untrainable, and therefore incapable of joining the galactic society. (GBC)

Yri Worm
This species of blind annelid was native to the moon of Tilnes. Despite the moon's lifeless appearance, the yri managed to survive. These worms lived below the surface, riddling the crust of Tilnes with their tunnels. Worms moved through the rock by pulling themselves along with their scales. The mining operations which were established on Tilnes tried to exterminate the yri worms, because the worm tunnels made the mining passages susceptible to cave-ins. However, the meter-long yri proved to be somewhat intelligent, and began to actually fight back against the miners. Hiem Bryl went so far as to offer a fifty-credit bounty for each yri worm killed, but had to abandon the program after more than a thousand worms were brought in but the problem continued to escalate. (WOTC)

Yrk
One of the family names used by the Bothan people, it literally meant "metalsmith" - more specifically, one who worked with precious metals. (GCG, WOTC)

Yrna
This was once of the many names given to Duros females. Among the Duros, it meant "beguiling". (GCG)

Yrrcanna
This black-furred Wookiee male was a former Imperial slave who had been freed shortly before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. An aggressive fighter, Yrrcanna found work at the Dool Arena on Reuss VIII, where he became a crowd favorite. (WSV)

Yrrna System
This Outer Rim system was the site of an Imperial cargo staging area infiltrated by Ali Tarrak. (TIE)

Yrros, Naem
This Imperial General was in charge of the subjugation of the city of Argona, on Rhamalai, during the height of the New Order. Yrros was educated at the Imperial Academy on Raithal, and took top honors in his class. His unswerving loyalty and dedication to the New Order earned him several swift promotions, but few friends. He was killed when the astromech droid R2-4B was confiscated and placed into the Imperial droid pool. R2-4B had been programmed to self-destruct if it was ever captured by the Empire, and the droid performed its duty flawlessly. (SWJ13)

YS-4279
This was the model number of an expensive, high-end security component, used during the last decades of the Old Republic to protect computer systems. (EOS1)

Ysalamir
This was the name given to a species of slender, grey-furred reptiles that were native to the planet Myrkr. Ysalamiri were one of the few creatures in the galaxy that naturally created null-bubbles in the Force. The bubble created by an individual ysalamir could extend up to 10 meters in diameter, and a group of ysalaimir could generate a much larger bubble. This ability to "push back" the Force was believed to have been an evolutionary defense mechanism, helping the ysalamiri to avoid being eaten by vornskrs that roamed Myrkr's jungles. Early in their lifecycle, ysalamiri would use their long claws to attach their bodies to tree limbs and obtain nourishment from the wood. As a sessile creature, the ysalamir would soon die if it were ever separated from their perch. Ysalamiri could reach lengths up to fifty centimeters, and had fur-covered scales. (HTTE, UA, EGF, FJ3)

Ysalamiri
This was the name given to a group of ysalamir. (HTTE)

Ysanna
This tribe of Force-sensitives lived on modern-day Ossus. The Ysanna were the descendants of those few Jedi who managed to survive the cataclysmic events of the Great Sith War, and were able to harness some amount of the Force for their own use. The warrior-priests of the Ysanna used The Force to guide their out-dated projectile weapons, helping them obtain food and defend themselves. Their history showed that many of their ancient ancestors arrived on Ossus just following the Great Sith War, and survived the devastation wrought on the planet during the Clone Wars. The Ysanna had a bond with the tree-like, ancient Jedi Master Ood Bnar, who also survived the planet's many trials and was still alive when Luke and Kam discovered the Ysanna youths Jem and Rayf. Most Ysanna considered themselves part of a single tribe, and often added the surname "Ysanna" when referring to themselves. (DE2, GORW)

Ysanna, Jem
This Ysanna girl was the daughter of Okko. Jem met Luke Skywalker and Kam Solusar when they arrived on Ossus, during the early years of the New Republic. Jem was in the midst of a ritual with her brother, Rayf, in which they were tied to the tree-like form of the ancient Jedi Master Ood Bnar. She was twenty-three years old when Luke first met her. Like all other Ysanna, Jem was strong with the Force, and chose to leave Ossus and become one of Luke's first students. She also became one of Luke's brief loves, until they were attacked on New Alderaan by Tedryn-sha and Krdys Mordi. Jem killed Mordi with her lightsaber in an effort to protect Luke, but was herself killed by Tedryn-sha. Luke was surprised to see her body disappear as her spirit became one with the Force. (DE2, SWDB, NECH)

Ysanna, Rayf
This fifteen-year-old man was Jem's brother, and was a native of Ossus. He was tied to Ood Bnar's tree-like form, along with his sister, when Luke Skywalker and Kam Solusar arrived on Ossus, more than six years after the Battle of Endor. Like his sister, Rayf decided to leave Ossus to follow Luke and Kam and become a Jedi Knight. He survived the death of his sister, and eventually became a warrior of great skill, supporting Luke in many battles. When the Jedi tried to intercept the reborn Emperor Palpatine on Onderon, Rayf wounded the Dark Jedi T'iaz before he was consumed in the Emperor's own Force Lightning and killed. (DE2, EE, NECH)

Ysannan
This was the language spoken by the Ysanna who lived on Ossus during the modern era of the galaxy. (EGP)

Ysas
This word from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "equal." (GPB)

Y'sd Drum
This was a form of drum used by the thorp elders of Malastare. The Dugs used the y'sd drums to pound out war songs, used to rally their troops into battle against the Gran. (SWI64)

Yso, Uso
This immense creature was a swoop seller, working in Euceron City during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Standing well over three meters in height, with two beating hearts and having fifteen-fingered hands as big as bantha haunches, Uso Yso was intimidating to say the least. This helped him greatly, for the swoop dealership was a front for the gambling agency he ran from the back office. When the Galactic Games came to Euceron, some six years after the Battle of Naboo, Uso Yso was known as one of the most "trustworthy" of the bookies who were taking illegal bets on the sporting events. (JQ3)

Ys'rak
This was a type of wrapping that was produced by Twi'lek tailors for wrapping around an individual's lekku. (SWG2P)

This corporation designed and manufactured a number of deep-space platforms used for mining and refining activities. (SWJ6)

Yssek
This was a common name among Quarren females. It meant "delicate". (GCG)

YT 492727ZED
This was the manufacturing identification number of a YT-1300 that was produced at Corellian Engineering Corporation's Orbital Assembly Facility 7, some sixty years before the Battle of Yavin. The ship was nearly completed, and was receiving its initial supply of fuel, when one of the the refueling droids that was servicing the ship lost contact with the cybernetic overseer and overfilled the ship's fuel cells. The fuel used on the YT-1300 series was a form of liquid metal that was highly combustible, and many designers feared that its use would cause many problems for CEC. The ship was supposed to only have enough fuel to power its braking and maneuvering thrusters, but instead was filled with so much fuel that its main drives were activated, and YT 492727ZED took off on its own. It launched itself out of the orbital facility and seemed to maneuver about on its own, avoiding droid recovery ships as its maneuvering thrusters fired in random patterns. The ship was eventually brought under control and was passed through a battery of tests to ensure that it had not been damaged, before it was sent off to serve in the fleet of ships owned by Corell Industries, Limited. The ship was known by a number of names during this time, including the Corell's Pride and Meetyl's Misery, and it was alternately a fantastic ship and a source of despair, depending on the current pilots. It was later sold to tKal and Dova Brigger, who renamed it the Hardwired, before the ship became the property of the Republic Group, which named the ship Stellar Envoy. After the ship was nearly destroyed in a crash near Nar Shaddaa, it was rebuilt by Bammy Decree as the Second Chance. The ship changed hands several more times, before it was acquired by Lando Calrissian and renamed the Millennium Falcon. (MF)

YT-1000
This was an outdated Corellian Engineering Corporation starship design, although it was one of the first to have the distinctive clamshell-shapde hull of the YT-series. (LAA)

YT-1150
One of the earliest of the YT-series starships from Corellian Engineering Corporation, the YT-1150 resembled a long, oval loaf of bread which had been cut into three pieces lengthwise and layed out. (RP)

YT-1200
This freighter was designed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, but was eventually phased out in favor of the YT-1300. The designs for the YT-1200 were later sold to Nova-Drive, which modified them and produced the #3-Z light freighter. Many of these ships found used as suborbital transport craft, used for carrying cargo from one city to another. (SS, TCD)

YT-1210
This Corellian Engineering Corporation light freighter was a predecessor to the YT-1300. The YT-1210 had the familiar saucer-shaped hull, but lacked the forward mandibles of the YT-1300. This craft measured some 35 meters in length, and the cockpit could be situated on either the left or right side. The basic crew consisted of a pilot and a gunner. The standard YT-1210 could carry up to 100 metric tons of cargo, and was armed with a single laser cannon. (GG6, FOP)

YT-1250
This Corellian Engineering Corporation starship design was lightly armed in its stock form. (SFT)

YT-1300
This series of Corellian light stock freighters was built by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. Originally designed and manufactured some sixty-one years before the Battle of Yavin, the YT-1300 was a two-being craft, and could accommodate up to six passengers. The ship was designed with assistance from Narro Sienar, the YT-series was developed as a low-cost alternative to the YG-series. Note that Star Wars: Episode I Adventures - The Bartokk Assassins places the initial development of the YT-1300 closer to thirty years before the Battle of Yavin, and indicates that the YT-1300 was a fairly expensive vessel. The YT-1300 measured 26.7 meters in length, and could hold 100 metric tons of cargo. In its stock form, the YT-1300 was armed with a single Taim & Bak H4 laser cannon, but carried no defensive shielding. The main hull was disk-shaped, with two trapezoidal pods extending from the front. The cockpit was offset-mounted on the right side of the disk. The top sublight speed of a YT-1300 was around 65 MGLT, and 100-SBD shields protected a 50-RU hull.

From its introduction, the YT-1300 exceeded all sales estimates, and early production runs were often oversold due to the demand from independent spacers. It was estimated that some 10,000,000 units were manufactured and sold in the first five years of the ship's production run. One of the primary drawbacks of the YT-1300 was the off-center placement of its cockpit. While the cockpit could be positioned on either the left or right side, either position left a great deal of the ship beyond of the pilot's view. While this was common for larger ships, the off-center placement made it much harder to maneuver in tight spaces, especially for many new pilots. The more skittish of these captains often installed five-axis, laser-ranging pods near the front mandibles, in order to provide them with realtime information about the parts of the ship they couldn't see. (E4, SCRE, TSC, TT, E1A2, MF)

YT-1300f
This was a modification to the basic YT-1300 freighter produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. It was given a slightly better hyperdrive, allowing the freighter to reach its destination faster than the standard model. The YT-1300f was also equipped with standard docking rings. Because of this upgrade, the YT-1300f found a niche among transport operations shipping medical supplies to the battlefronts of the Clone Wars. It was believed that the Millennium Falcon was originally manufactured as a YT-1300f. (MBS, DM103)

YT-1300p
This was a modification to the basic YT-1300 freighter produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. Similar to the YT-1300f, the YT-1300p had improved drives. It was also equipped with two additional escape pods, instead of the docking rings found on the YT-1300f. (DM103)

YT-1500
This was one of the many variants developed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation from the basic YT-series of light freighters. (SBS)

YT-1760
This was one of the many varieties of YT-series freighters and transports produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. Measuring 20 meters in length, the YT-1760 incorporated the saucer-shaped hull of the YT-1300 with a center-mounted cockpit. Three sublight engines were arranged along the rear of the round hull. However, the YT-1760 lacked the durability of the earlier members of the YT-series, and it didn't take well to upgrades and modifications. It was produced without standard armament, and could transport up to eight passengers and 10 metric tons of cargo. (GMR2)

YT-1930
This variant on the successful YT-1300 series was only moderately successful for the Corellian Engineering Corporation. From the central passageway forward, the YT-1930 was an exact duplicate of the YT-1300, with the exception being that the rounded cockpit was mounted between the forward mandibles. However, from the centerline back, the ship was unique. A pair of wing-like cargo bays flared outward from each side, while the drives were situated between them. The ship resembled a flying V. It measured 35 meters in length, and required a pilot and co-pilot to operate. It could transport up to six passengers and 200 metric tons of cargo with ease. It could be armed with a single, turret-mounted laser cannon. (WSV, WOTC)

YT-2000
This Corellian Engineering Corporation light freighter was based on the venerable YT-1300 line. It measured 29 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of twin turbolasers, a laser cannon, and an ion cannon. Its cockpit was mounted in the center of the ship. (XWA)

YT-2300
This was one of the lesser-known variants of Corellian Engineering Corporation's YT-series of freighters and transports. (SWGAL)

YT-2400
One of the light freighters in the Corellian Engineering Corporation's successful YT-series, the YT-2400 incorporated the saucer-shaped hull design that made the YT-1300 popular. However, the YT-2400 did not have the paired, forward-facing mandibles. Instead, the YT-2400 was simply the saucer hull with a heavily-braced cockpit section off to the right side. The YT-2400 had improved hull plating, power to spare, and additional space in the cargo and engine compartments. Thus, it was easily modified to accommodate larger engines and smuggling compartments. At 21 meters in length, the YT-2400 was also slightly smaller than its predecessors, although it had the capacity to transport up to six passengers and 150 metric tons of cargo. Flying the YT-2400 demanded the skills of a pilot and co-pilot. The basic configuration was simply armed with a turret-mounted laser cannon. (SE, EGV, SS)

YT-450a
A clunky-looking transport ship from Corellian Engineering Corporation. (GMH)

YT-5100
This was the model number of the Corellian Engineering Corporation's prototype version of the Shriek-class bomber, developed during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Ten prototpyes were deployed to Tralus as part of Operation Noble Savage, during Thrackan Sal-Solo's bid for Corellian independence, some ten years after the end of the Yuuzhan Vong war. The YT-5100 was based on the popular YT-1300 series of freighters, but was a much sleeker and more streamlined vessel. The YT-5100 had the forward mandibles of the YT-1300, but lacked a side-mounted cockpit. (LF1)

YT-700
This older Corellian Engineering Corporation starship design was a basic transport craft. It measured 21.7 meters in length. (SWJ5)

Y'taa

Ytam, Su'ock
see Su'ok Ytam (FOC2)

Ytam, Su'ok
This Sullustan worked as a chemist for MephitaPharm, a Cularin-based chemical production company that was working on the moon Tilnes, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Shortly after the disappearance of Jedi Knight Nek Lawsirk, Ytam was named the employee of the month. However, an explosion caused huge amounts of damage to the MephitaPharm facility on Tilnes, killing many and forcing others to flee. Ytam remained behind to keep an eye on the facility, until a repair crew could be transported from Cularin. However, the solitude quickly turned to loneliness and eventually fear, as Ytam grew increasingly afraid that a rescue would never come. Thus, when a group of freelance agents hired by the Almas Academy to locate Nek Lawsirk found him in the tunnels below the facility, Ytam fired on them, believing them to be claim jumpers or worse. Once Ytam realized that they weren't going to hurt him, he gave the agents the story of Raik Muun's arrival at the MephitaPharm facility, and directed them to her underground lair. (FOC2)

YT-class Freighter
This was the common designation for the series of Corellian Engineering Corporation freighter models, including the venerable YT-1300 and more than a dozen other designs. (A)

Y-TIE

YT-series Freighter
This was a series of freighters that were produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. Starting with the YT-1300, which was initially developed some sixty-years before the Battle of Yavin, the YT-series was designed to be a low-cost alternative to some of CEC's larger and more expensive vessels. The YT-series was noted for the ease with which its ships could be modified to meet the needs of an owner. Most YT-series vessels shared a disk-shaped main fuselage as a common design element, with various placements of the cockpit and cargo holds marking each variation. The YT-series was initially produced to use a liquid-metal fuel that gave the ship incredible speed, but this fuel was highly combustible, and many designers feared that its use would cause more harm than good. (MF)

Ytterbium
This mineral was a key element in the production of laser cannons. Much of the galaxy's ytterbium came from the Sarrahban System. The Alliance used stabilized ytterbium in conjunction with baradium, in an effort to make using the explosive much less risky. (RPG, ROE)

This question from the Wookiee language of Shyriiwook meant "Do you have a salve to kill these parasites?" when translated into Basic. (GPB)

YU-1300
According to Destiny's Way, this was the model number of the Millennium Falcon. This was most likely a typesetting error. (DW)

YU-410
This Corellian Engineering Corporation transport was part of the YU series, which was introduced after the YT-1300 became so popular. Unfortunately, the YU series lacked the YT's modularity and ease of upgrading, and didn't sell well. The YU-410 was no exception, and also suffered from underpowered drives. However, it was twice the size of the YT-1300 and was heavily armored, and it found favor among small businesses which made regular runs through dangerous star systems. It was also heavily armed in its standard configuration, with four double laser cannons. The YU-410 measured 44 meters in length, and required a crew of four officers and four gunners. It could transport up to 250 metric tons of cargo and twelve passengers. (GMR2)

When the Citizens' Resistance launched their revolution and overthrew Teda, he fled his palace under the protection of General Yubicon and Jenna Zan Arbor. However, as Teda was forced to submit to the will and demands of Zan Arbor, Yubicon began to question his loyalty to Teda, who obviously wasn't the Great Leader he claimed to be. When Jedi reinforcements arrived on Romin, Yubicon and his commanders surrendered immediately. (JQ8)

Yubnub
This Ewok exclamation translated into Basic as "Hooray!" (BTRKS26)

Yubookoo
This Wookiee was one of several members of his race to be enslaved on the planet Geonosis, and forced to fight in the gladiator arenas to earn his survival. In order to fight without impediment, Yubookoo trimmed his black fur to a short stubble. He fought with wild abandon, knowing that he would eventually die in the ring, and was known to have defeated sixteen Geonosian warriors. Yubookoo preferred to fight with the petranaki scimitar. (GORW)

Yucon, Reug
This Bothan male was a scientist, specializing in the fields of trans-system and galactic atmospherics, during the last decades of the Old Republic.

Yulant System
This Core Worlds system was managed by the Salliche Ag Corporation. (SWJ2)

Yularen, Wullf
This Imperial Security Bureau agent was assigned as Grand Moff Tarkin's liaison with Emperor Palpatine. A veteran of the Clone Wars, Yularen served as an Admiral in the Grand Army of the Republic, where he was in command of the naval forces supporting Anakin Skywalker and the 501st legion of clone troopers. Yularen's flagship, the Spirit of the Republic was instrumental in recovering Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Rotta the Huttlet from the planet Teth. Yularen was later given command of the Resolute during the remainder of the Clone Wars, serving under General Skywalker on a variety of missions. Yularen often found his more orthodox, military strategies were at odds with Skywalker's ability to improvise battle plans on the fly, but Yularen could not argue with the results the renegade Jedi Knight experienced. However, during the Republic's mission to return to Christophsis and provide aid for Senator Bail Organa, Yularen could not simply let Skywalker carry out his part in the plan. Yularen recognized that the Separatist blockdae was being commanded by Admiral Trench, an adversary Yularen had believed killed at the Battle of Malastare Narrows. Suggesting that he join Skywalker as a consultant, Yularen accompanied the Jedi on the first mission of a prototype stealth ship. Yularen recalled that Trench would expect the stealth ship to attack after creeping close enough, and warned Skywalker not to attempt the maneuver. Skywalker, however, decided to try, but this time, he allowed Trench's missiles to get close enough to lock onto the stealth ship, then sped toward Trench's flagship at top speed. Skywalker skimmed over the Separatist ship, dragging the missiles behind him to smash into Trench's vessel. The flagship exploded, finally killing Trench and ending the Separatist blockade of Malastare.

Some twenty years later, Yularen was placed in charge of ensuring complete loyalty to the Emperor aboard the first Death Star. Known throughout his career for his by-the-books mentality, Yularen would stop at nothing to fulfill Palpatine's will. He was a well-built man of advanced age, distinguished by his white hair and moustache. It was believed that Yularen died when the Death Star was destroyed during the Battle of Yavin.

Yulluruub, Umum
This female Sullustan was raised in relative luxury on a number of planets across the galaxy, as her parents worked as market analysts for the SoroSuub Corporation. Because her parents were usually too busy to woory about her, Umum learned to be self-reliant. While this helped her survive her youth, it was of little value when Umum herself became an agent for a tourism business based on Sullust. She found a way to vent her frustrations when he transported her clients to their destination, however. After delivering them to their hotels, Umum would set out on her own, searching the nearby systems for new opportunities. (GORW)

Yun
The youngest of the Dark Jedi serving under Jerec, Yun was a cocky, unpredictable Epicanthrix youth striving to prove his power. Much of his original training was under the guidance of Sariss, who could not fully rein in the impulsive youth. Not physically imposing, Yun relied on the surprise he gained when attacking his opponents in brash ways. As a youth, Yun grew up on the planet Panatha, the son of wealthy mineral baron. When he came of age, Yun was sent to Bunduki by his father, to learn the patience and temperment of the Followers of Palawa. His instructors refused to teach of the teras kasi, and Yun returned to Panatha to complain to his father. The baron decided that Yun would be better schooled at home, and turned the boy's training over to his fiance', a member of the Church of the Dark Side named Sariss. The pair became very close, but Sariss refused to be drawn into an affair because of her vows to Yun's father. Angry at being rebuffed, Yun killed his father to earn her love. With this act, his fall to the Dark Side of the Force was completed, but Yun came to understand that Sariss didn't actually love him. She proceeded to seize his father's assets and turned them over to Jerec. She turned Yun's training over to Jerec as well. Jerec demanded proof of Yun's loyalty, and sent the boy back to Bunduki to execute his Palawa masters. Later, during the search for the Valley of the Jedi, Yun attempted to kill Kyle Katarn at Baron's Hed, but was defeated by Katarn. After the Valley of the Jedi was discovered on Ruusan, Katarn again spared Yun's life. Yun was then visited by the spirit of Jedi Master Qu Rahn, who urged Yun to seek redemption. Acting on this, Yun stepped in to prevent Sariss from killing Katarn. Unfortunately, Sariss showed no such mercy and killed Yun. His body was absorbed by the energy of the Valley and disappeared.

Yun-Harla
This Yuuzhan Vong deity was known as the Cloaked Goddess, or the Trickster. She was often prayed to in tandem with Yun-Yammka, in order for the warrior to have guidance as well as strength in his battle. Yun-Harla was never visible to her servants, and was never actually portrayed in Yuuzhan Vong writings or pictures. It was believed that her body was formed from borrowed parts, and was covered with borrowed skin. Some Yuuzhan Vong even believed that Yun-Harla's eyes were villips, while others believed them to be the actual eyes of Yun-Yuuzhan, which were discarded when the Creator ascended to a higher plane of existence. Her clothing, whenever she wore it, was designed to confuse and deceive those who saw her. Thus, only her spirit actually made contact with those Yuuzhan Vong who worshipped her. Shortly after the Second Battle of Coruscant, Jaina Solo stole the frigate Ksstarr and renamed it the Trickster, as a goad to the Yuuzhan Vong priest Harrar. However, this monicker eventually became something more, as Jaina discovered how to fool Yuuzhan Vong sensors into believing that another ship was actually the Trickster. Among the subordinate Yuuzhan Vong who served Harrar, there was a growing belief that Jaina Solo was actually Yun-Harla made incarnate. This belief was based on the relationship between Yun-Harla and Yun-Yammka, which greatly resembled the relationship between Jaina and her twin brother, Jacen. At the end of the war, the Shamed One Onimi revealed to Jaina that he had come to believe she was actually Yun-Harla, since he alone of the Yuuzhan Vong could see her through the Force. (VP, DJ, DW, NJOSB, UF)

Yunkor IX
This planet was the site of an early test of the B-Wing, in which a single B-Wing took out a TIE Fighter staging area near the world. (XW)

Yun-Ne'Shel
This hermaphroditic Yuuzhan Vong deity was worshipped by the Shapers, and represented life itself. Yun-Ne'Shel was believed to have created all forms of life with the tools and materials presented to her by Yun-Yuuzhan. She was considered among the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong gods as something of an iedalistic fool, having preached about a peaceful galaxy where all life existed equally. Her dreams of an ideal galaxy were shattered by Yun-Harla and Yun-Yammka, the twin gods who shaped the Yuuzhan Vong civilization the most. Shapers worshipped Yun-Ne'Shel, who was known as She-Who-Shapes or The Modeler, in an organic grotto which was similar in form to a yammosk, and was created to enhance the mental abilities of any who entered it. Within the body of the grotto were nodules of flesh which were essentially mouths, filled with eight knife-like teeth, Each Shaper Adept was required to enter the chamber and meditate before placing a hand into the nodule's mouth. The teeth then closed over the wrist and bit through flesh and bone. Once the teeth clamped down, the nodule flexed and twisted ninety degrees, neatly severing the hand. The Adept was then fitted with a new hand, which was grown to provide the Shaper with the tools they used in their work. At the end of the war, the Shamed One Onimi revealed to Jaina Solo that he had come to believe that Tahiri Veila was actually Yun-Ne'Shel, since he alone of the Yuuzhan Vong could see her through the Force. (EVC, FH2, UF)

Yun'o
This was a term used by the Yuuzhan Vong to collectively describe their pantheon of gods. (DW, UF)

Yun-Q'aah
This Yuuzhan Vong deity was known as one of the Lovers, along with Yun-Txiin. Together, these two sibling deities protected those Yuuzhan Vong who discovered the emotion and passion of love, although they forbade relationships between castes. Worshippers of Yun-Q'aah and Yun-Txiin were part of a religious movement known as the Undying Flame. (EVC, SBS)

Yun-Shuno
This was the most grotesque of the Yuuzhan Vong gods. Also known as the Pardoner, Yun-Shuno was the patron diety of the Shamed Ones, those Yuuzhan Vong whose bodies refused to accept implants of surge-coral and implanters during the ritual of Escalation. Among the more escalated castes, Yun-Shuno was referred to as the "many-eyed mother of snivelers." At the end of the war, the Shamed One Onimi revealed to Jaina Solo that he had come to believe her brother, Jacen, was actually Yun-Shuno, since he alone of the Yuuzhan Vong could see her through the Force. (JE, EVC, DW, UF)

Yun-Txiin
This Yuuzhan Vong deity was known as one of the Lovers, along with Yun-Q'aah. Together, these two sibling deities protected those Yuuzhan Vong who discovered the emotion and passion of love, although they forbade relationships between castes. Worshippers of Yun-Q'aah and Yun-Txiin were part of a religious movement known as the Undying Flame. (EVC, SBS)

Yun-Yammka
This deity was the Yuuzhan Vong god of war and carnage. Known as The Slayer, Yun-Yammka resembled a large brain with a single eye and a puckered mouth. An array of tentacles emerged from around its body. Every Yuuzhan Ving warrior kept a statue of Yun-Yammka among his possessions, and prayed to Yun-Yammka for strength in battle. After the Second Battle of Coruscant, the Yuuzhan Vong planned to retake Borleias and turn the entire planet into a shrine for the priests of Yun-Yammka, as much to appease the priests as to discredit Domain Kraal. Yun-Yammka was often associated with the Trickster goddess, Yun-Harla. Because of this, many Yuuzhan Vong began to assocate Yun-Yammka with Jacen Solo, especially after his twin sister, Jaina, adopted the guise of Yun-Harla. At the end of the war, the Shamed One Onimi revealed to Jaina that he had come to believe her uncle, Luke Skywalker, was actually Yun-Yammka, since he alone of the Yuuzhan Vong could see her through the Force. Harrar later revealed that, in fact, there was no original god named Yun-Yammka. This deity was created by the priest caste after the ur-Yuuzhan Vong were severed from the Force and took up their warring ways. (VP, EL1, DW, FH2, UF)

Yun-Yuuzhan
This was the greatest of the deities worshipped by the Yuuzhan Vong. Yun-Yuuzhan was known as the Cosmic Lord or the Creator. Yun-Yuuzhan was considered the beginning of all that existed, and it was Yun-Yuuzhan who took parts of his own body to form the other gods as well as the Yuuzhan Vong themselves. Thus, statues of Yun-Yuuzhan often appeared incomplete, representing his own sacrifices. After the Yuuzhan Vong reformed the planet Coruscant into a representation of Yuuzhan'tar, an underground group of Shamed Ones began to spread The Message of the Jedi Knights. Nom Anor, cast out of his role as Executor because of his treachery, rallied the Shamed Ones while posing as the prophet Yu'shaa. Part of his heretical beliefs involved the true nature of the Force, and Yu'shaa theorized that the Force was actually the remnant of Yun-Yuuzhan's soul, after Yun-Yuuzhan gave birth to the universe. This theory, when repeated by countless Shamed Ones, evolved over time to state that the Force was actually the linger exhalations of Yun-Yuuzhan, instilling power in the Jedi Knights and linking the two civilizations together.

Yurb
This little-known arid planet was the homeworld of the razor-tailed tiger. (MBS)

Yurdel, Broof
This dark-skinned Gungan served as a commander in the Cularin Militia, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Broof was a veteran of the Battle of Naboo who left his homeworld for the planet Cularin. There, he established the Gungan Security operation in the city of Gadrin, providing security services for the residents of the city. Broof was also one of the founding members of the underground resistance which sprang up when the Metatheran Cartel began making inroads to the trade of Cularin. He was eventually placed in command of the ground forces divisions of the Cularin Militia, and was based on the planet Genarius. He reluctantly agreed to an interview with Yara Grugara, who had been trying to insinuate that the Militia had fabricated rumors of the Thaereian Military hiding in the Cularin System. Broof refused to provide any concrete details, but assured Grugara that the Cularin Militia had only the best interests of the Cularin System in mind, and that no false information had been disseminated. Thus, it was surprising when Broof joined forces with Osten Dal'Nay and allowed the Militia to simply fade into the background. This was not due to a lack of funding, but was actually a bold move on the part of the two Commanders to eventually launch a counter-assault on the Thaereians. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, they launched their assault - known as Operation False Horizon - using surprise to take control of several Thaereian bases throughout the Cularin System. Broof was badly injured in the assault, but returned successful. (EOS1, EOS2, LFCW)

Unfortunately, Delan and his friends were intercepted by a group of freelance agents, who ensured that the youths survived the encounter. For their part, Yurge and his friends claimed that they merely thought the youths had stolen something from their speeder. However, the freelance agents determined that something was going on, and turned the spies over to the Bayonard Peace and Security agency. (JCT1)

Yusanis
This man was one of the most famous and feared of the Echani warriors who were active in the galaxy during the decades leading up to the Jedi Civil War. He was a decorated solider who was considered one of the greatest heroes of the Mandalorian Wars. Later, when Yusanis discovered that an Echani Senator had been killed by Darth Revan, he set out to confront the Sith Lord and bring him to justice. Despite his own skills and the special weapons of cortosis-weave that he used, Yusanis was quickly defeated by Darth Revan and forced to submit. Darth Revan held no compassion, and killed Yusanis in cold blood. It was later discovered that Yusanis was the father - figuratively and literally - of the Echani Handmaidens. (KOTOR, KOTOR2)

Yu'shaa
This was the name adopted by Nom Anor after he survived a Yuuzhan Vong attack on a Shamed One enclave on Coruscant, after the alien invaders transformed the planet into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar. The name, which translated into the Basic language as "The Prophet", was meant to indicate that Nom Anor had decided to become the living vessel for carrying The Message to the rest of the Shamed Ones. He began gathering legions of Shamed Ones to his cause, furthering The Message of the Jedi while building a base of power rfom which he could strike back at Supreme Overlord Shimrra and the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong who had turned their backs on him. As Yu'shaa, Nom Anor wore a hideous mask that represented Shimrra and the Yuuzhan Vong gods. He wore the mask at the beginning of his speeches, but soon removed it to reveal his own visage. Of course, his own face was covered with an ooglith masquer, but Yu'shaa's removal of the mask symbolized the throwing off of the old ways and the old gods. Among the heretical beliefs proposed by Yu'shaa was the theory that the Force was actually the soul of Yun-Yuuzhan, cast into the universe when Yun-Yuuzhan created it. His ruse was revealed on the planet Zonama Sekot, after Tahiri told Harrar and Corran Horn that it had been Nom Anor who killed Nen Yim. When Nom Anor returned to Shimrra on Coruscant and was escalated to Prefect of Yuuzhan'tar, the Shamed Ones did not falter in their belief of Yu'shaa. Instead, they made the Prophet a martyr, killed at the hands of Shimrra himself for his pursuit of the living planet Zonama Sekot. Much to the relief of the believers, Yu'shaa reappeared, and warned them that their plans to disrupt Shimrra's grand ceremony had been discovered. Kunra, however, was noy about to let Nom Anor put a stop to the plans of the Shamed Ones. He twisted the warnings to encite the masses, forcing Yu'shaa to lead his people into battle. Nom Anor found himself caught between two masters, but his quest for power was smashed when Shimrra odered the World Brain of Coruscant to destroy the planet, rather than have it fall into the hands of the Galactic Alliance. Angry that Shimrra had cast him aside, Nom Anor shed his Prefect's robes and took up the cloak of a Shamed One. He led the Shamed Ones into battle as Yu'shaa, demanding that the Yuuzhan Vong warriors be slaughtered. (FH1, FH2, FP, UF)

Yutani
This man served the Alliance as a scout and heavy weapons specialist. A Captain in rank, Yutani was known to use micro-repulsor engines in his field armor.

Yuth ugh
This Yuuzhan Vong phrase translates loosely to the command, "Do what I say." It was often used to warn others to wait for their leader before acting. (VP, UFCD)

Yuth ugh
This Yuuzhan Vong command was used to awaken a qipat firewasp that was contained inside the shell of a tzur'qipat. Note that the New Jedi Order Sourcebook indicates that this phrase was a command, used to tell another individual to "get back." (GMR8, NJOSB)

Yutrane-Trackata
This military contractor produced a variety of armored vehicles during the early period of the New Order. Based on the planet Aridus, Yutrane-Trackata's executives decided that the all of the vehicles manufactured by the corporation would be turned over to the Empire. This pro-Imperial stance angered many of the corporation's employees, who felt that the corporation should have remained, if anything, neutral during the Galactic Civil War. The Alliance caught wind of this division and managed to make contact with several disgruntled employees, who were paid to leave completed vehicles and other supplies where Alliance forces could capture them in pre-arranged raids. (FC, SWDB)

Yutsen
This Rodian worked as a reporter for the Tri-Nebulon News agency, during the height of the Clone Wars. Yutsen made a deal with Jar Jar Binks, gaining a one-on-one interview with Senator Padme' Amidala in exchange for traffic reports from the Outer Rim Territories. During the interview, Yutsen badgered the Senator about her stance on a peaceful resolution to the Clone Wars, and pressed her to discuss the recent pirate attacks that had crippled the planet Rodia. When Senator Amidala could not respond immediately, Yutsen pressed further, inquiring if she were otherwise too preoccupied to complete the interview. Ultimately, however, Senator Amidala agreed to investigate the situation on Rodia when she returned to Coruscant. (CWOC1)

(DN2)

Yuun
This female bouncer was one of the many members of her species who befriended Darovit, during the years following the Battle of Ruusan. Yuun was visiting Darovit when he discovered that the Jedi Order had returned to Ruusan, to erect a monument to those Jedi who had died in the war against the Brotherhood of Darkness. Yuun had been born after the Battle of Ruusan, and so she did not understand Darovit's anger at the Jedi for building the monument. (DBRT)

Yuuzhan Vong
This race of beings was native to an extra-galactic galaxy which was devastated by warfare and biotechnology. Evolving first on the planet Yuuzhan'tar, the Yuuzhan Vong worshipped a complex pantheon of gods. Ancient texts discovered by Yuuzhan Vong scholars revealed that, at some point in the distant past, their homeworld was invaded by a highly technological race. More machine that living flesh, these invaders set out to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong. The Yuuzhan Vong, in turn, called upon their gods for help. Although the exact nature of the assistance was clouded by time, the gods provided the Yuuzhan Vong with information on how to use living resources into weapons.

After defeating the technological beings who had invaded their world, the Yuuzhan Vong believed themselves to be the chosen masters of their galaxy, a right bestowed upon them by their gods. This new-found pride, along with the skills of war, drove the Yuuzhan Vong away from their gods, and was believed to have resulted in their disconnection with the Force. When individual clans finally conquered all worlds in their galaxy, they began warring amongst themselves.

In a millennia-long battle known as the Cremlevian War, Yuuzhan Vong tribes fought to exterminate each other, laying waste to most of their habitable planets. With the end of the Cremlevian War and the unification of the clans, the Yuuzhan Vong found themselves living in a galaxy that contained dead and lifeless worlds. Taking to the stars, they set out to cross the intergalactic void to find a new home, a journey which would take some fifteen thousand years and end with the discovery of the known galaxy and the New Republic. To accomplish the intra-galactic crossing, the Yuuzhan Vong created a fleet of living worldships that could penetrate the hyperspacial disturbance that isolated the galaxy and travel across the intergalactic gulf. Vast numbers of genetic and cellular samples were taken from Yuuzhan'tar, in order for the Yuuzhan Vong to survive the trip. Chief among these samples were the cells of the World Brain that lived at the heart of the planet.

Roughly humanoid in shape, they often mutilated their bodies with scars and tattoos in order to prove their worth to their gods. Being from another galaxy, the Yuuzhan Vong cellular structure contained no midi-chlorians, thereby rendering them untouchable to the Force. The fleshy faces of the Yuuzhan Vong were distinguished by several key features, in addition to the scars and tattoos that define their social standing: bluish sacks beneath their eyes, sloping foreheads, and lipless mouths. Despite the obvious differences in appearance, the skull of a Yuuzhan Vong was quite similar to that of a baseline human.

The Yuuzhan Vong were masters of organic technology, using all sorts of lesser creatures to perform highly advanced tasks. However, they frowned upon biological diversity, and took severe steps to wipe out or subjugate the other species encountered in their home galaxy.

The Yuuzhan Vong society was broken down into three primary castes - warriors, shapers, and intendants - and the minor castes of workers and priests. Much of the Yuuzhan Vong society was centered on the worship of several gods and goddesses, and the belief in those deities forces each member of society to understand his or her place in the universe. Each ritual scarring and tattooing added to the social stature of an individual, and the pattern of disfigurement provided information about the individual's class.

Investigation into the origins of the Yuuzhan Vong revealed that an advance scouting party had visited the known galaxy some fifty years before their attacks on Belkadan and Dubrillion. The discovery, made when Anki Pace found the remains of a warrior on Bimmiel, brought to light the Yuuzhan Vong's initial foray, which served as advance intelligence and gave the Yuuzhan Vong some idea of what life forms existed in the galaxy, as well as their military strength. Decades later, after establishing a base on Belkadan, the Yuuzhan Vong began capturing pirates and enslaving them as laborers on Belkadan. They used gricha larva to form huge, shell-like dwellings wherever they traveled, creating living chambers inside the spiralled nacreous material of the shell.

After the Battle of Ithor, it was learned that the Yuuzhan Vong had been experimenting with the various alien species they had displaced while invading the galaxy. Most of the specimens died or were sacrificed, due to their inability to withstand the unusual biological manipulations of the Yuuzhan Vong. Eventually, the Yuuzhan Vong pushed into the Core Worlds and captured Coruscant. The cityworld was quickly demolished, with many structures being destroyed by falling skyhooks and satellites. A World Brain was installed in a yorik coral cavern, and the planet was rebuilt in the image of Yuuzhan'tar, the Yuuzhan Vong homeworld. For many months, a sort of peace existed between the Yuuzhan Vong and the New Republic, as both sides paused to rebuild their forces and defend what each held. This changed at the Battle of Ebaq, where Warmaster Tsavong Lah and his forces were soundly defeated. Tsavong Lah himself was killed in combat by Jaina Solo, and Supreme Overlord Shimrra vowed to destroy anything that got in the way of galactic conquest.

However, it was the rediscovery of the planet Zonama Sekot that helped bring the two sides together. Luke Skywalker, Jacen Solo, and the priest Harrar were on Zonama Sekot when it fled the Klasse Ephemora System, and spent many days trying to commune with Sekot. When they did, Harrar revealed that some Yuuzhan Vong believed that they had not fled their home galaxy, but instead had been exiled from it. When Jacen reasoned that this exile might have involved separating the Yuuzhan Vong from the Force, Sekot understood why the Yuuzhan Vong were not visible to the Jedi. They had been stripped of any connection to the Force by their gods - in actuality, the Force itself - a painful act of separation that the Yuuzhan Vong had been trying to reconcile for generations. Only the Shaper Onimi was able to ever regain the connection, after grafting yammosk cells to his own neural pathways, thereby restoring "innocent" living tissue to his Yuuzhan Vong cells.

The war between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance came to an end at Coruscant, after Zonama Sekot appeared and both Shimrra and Onimi were killed in battle. The cost of the war was estimated to have been some 365 trillion beings, but in the end the Yuuzhan Vong were allowed to surrender and find their place within the galaxy. Many chose to commit suicide rather than surrender, while many others simply fled into the galaxy's farthest reaches. However, the Galactic Alliance and the Jedi Knights agreed that Zonama Sekot was the true home of the Yuuzhan Vong, especially in light of the revelations made by Sekot itself.

Although a handful of Yuuzhan Vong remained opposed to any sort of surrender, those who returned to Coruscant were transported to Zonama Sekot. The planet, which was actually the offspring of Yuuzhan'tar, took the Yuuzhan Vong and fled into hyperspace, to find a new home somewhere in the Unknown Regions.

Yuuzhan Vong Hunter One
This was the official designation of the YVH 1 combat droid. (SBS)

Yuuzhan Vong War
This was the name given to the five-year span of history in which the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the New Republic. Note that Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force indicates that the Yuuzhan Vong War only lasted three years. (WOTC, LF7, EGF)

Yuuzhandroid
This was the name, coined by Garm Bel Iblis, for the YVH 1 combat droid. (SBS)

Yuuzhan'tar
This was the name of the long-lost homeworld of the Yuuzhan Vong race. In the native language of the Yuuzhan Vong, the name meant "Creche' of the Gods." It was believed that the Yuuzhan Vong abandoned the planet many millennia ago, when the Yuuzhan Vong fled into space to seek out a new galaxy in which to live. However, it was later discovered that the Yuuzhan Vong had been cut off from the Force by the planet itself, which was a living world that had its own consciousness. Much of the planet was governed by the predatory nature of its indigenous species, a characteristic which manifested itself in the social consciousness of the Yuuzhan Vong. Some twenty-five years after the Battle of Endor, after the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy, they targetted the planet Coruscant as a replacement for Yuuzhan'tar. In addition to the fact that Coruscant was located near the center of the galaxy, the loss of the capital planet would serve to fracture the already brittle New Republic. In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong War, it was revealed that the living world of Zonama Sekot was actually an offspring on the original Yuuzhan'tar. (DJ, T, FP, UF, LF3, EGF)

Yuuzhan'tar
This was the name given to the planet Coruscant, after the planet was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong race. Some twenty-five years after the Battle of Endor, after the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy, they targetted the planet Coruscant as a replacement for Yuuzhan'tar. In addition to the fact that Coruscant was located near the center of the galaxy, the loss of the capital planet would serve to fracture the already brittle New Republic. Master Shaper Ch'Gang Hool oversaaw the development of several dhuryam candidates, and allowed Vergere and Nom Anor to allow Jacen Solo to interact with the candidates.

After taking Coruscant from the Republic and destroying all its orbital satellites, skyhooks, and other technology, the planet was seeded with lichens and mosses which broke down the various building materials used to construct the city-world. Then, once the World Brain was installed in a yorik coral bunker, Vongforming began in earnest. Within months, Coruscant's urban landscape had been transformed into a passable simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar. The Yuuzhan Vong went so far as to destroy one of Coruscant's larger moons, using the debris to create the Rainbow Bridge and further seed the planetary resources. Immense dovin basals dragged Coruscant into a tighter orbit around its star, giving the planet a more tropical atmosphere.

However, Jacen Solo's relationship with the dhuryam that controlled the planet and its reformation was seemingly stronger than any relationship the dhuryam had to a Yuuzhan Vong, for it agreed to help him cause all manner of trouble with the completion of Coruscant's transformation. Eventually, this forced Supreme Overlord Shimrra to command a huge sacrifice be made to the gods, to show them that the planet - and the galaxy - was ready for conquering. This ceremony was thwarted by the Shamed Ones who rallied behind the message of the Prophet, Yu'shaa.

Shortly afterward, the Yuuzhan Vong on the planet awoke to find that the living planet of Zonama Sekot had traveled from across the galaxy into a position above the planet. Zonama Sekot destroying the Rainbow Bridge which had been created in orbit around the planet, and scattered the remaining three moons into new locations. This set off a number of seismic events that rocked the planet to its core, damaging or destroying the work of the Yuuzhan Vong. The sudden appearance of the planet forced the Yuuzhan Vong military leaders to break off their attack on Mon Calamari and return to the Core.

During the final battle for control of the galaxy, Zonama Sekot acted purely in a defensive mode, choosing to "fight without fighting" against the Yuuzhan Vong. After the deaths of Shimrra and Onimi forced the alien invaders to surrender, Sekot revealed that the planet - as well as its own consciousness - were actually the offspring of long-lost Yuuzhan'tar. The ancient planet had shed a piece of itself and flung it into the intergalactic void, hoping that someday it would awaken and evolve into a new homeworld for the Yuuzhan Vong. The Galactic Alliance, acting with this knowledge and the advice of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, agreed to spare any Yuuzhan Vong who surrendered. These individuals were transferred to Zonama Sekot, which welcomed them with open arms as long as they chose to ignore their warring ways and try to live in peace. Zonama Sekot then fled into the Unknown Regions to allow the Yuuzhan Vong to find their way in peace.

Coruscant itself was reclaimed by the Galactic Alliance, and a massive effort was put in place to recover what was salvageable, but to allow the planet to retain some of its appearance to Yuuzhan'tar. In this way, it was hoped that the planet would serve as a living example of how the two cultures could exist together. Unfortunately, Jacen's sabotage of the World Brain led to several unusual changes in the otherwise normal evolution of the planet, and much of the former undercity became a horrible environment in which the dishomed of the planet were forced to fight for their very existence. (DJ, T, FP, UF, LF3, EGF)

Yuvern
This planet, the primary world in the Yuvern System, was the homeworld of the Yuvernian race. Yuvern was the site of an Alliance battle with the Empire's Oplovis Sector Fleet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWDB, RASB)

Yuvern System
This planetary system, containing the planet Yuvern, was located in the Oplovis Sector. (RASB, SWDB)

Yuvernian
This unusual alien race was native to the planet Yuvern. The average Yuvernian was an equine being, although they had two small heads that were supported by long necks, and their hairless bodies were covered with giraffe-like spots. The body of a Yuvernian measured nearly five meters in total length, and the average individual was almost three meter tall when it stood fully upright. (SWDB)

Yuyu
This was the Jawa word for "yes". (TG)

Yuz
Meaning "negative" - or, more literally, "empty", in reference to a phase 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)

Yuza Bre
This was one of the most popular restaurants found on the planet Coruscant, in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The chefs at Yuza Bre were able to mix traditional galactic cuisine with the ingredients brought to Coruscant by the Yuuzhan Vong, creating a wildly popular, new style of cuisine. Reservations for a table at Yuza Bre were often booked up for months in advance, although it was believed that Cal Omas had a standing reservation, during his tenure as Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance. At the height of the Swarm War, Yuza Bre was purchased by the Bornaryn Shipping Empire, as one of the first restaurants to be brought into the conglomerate. Lady Aryn Dro Thul later revealed that the purchase of Yuza Bre had been required to keep her meetings with Luke Skywalker and the leaders of the new Jedi order a secret from the press. The fact that Chief of State Omas frequented the restaurant was, in her explanation, a moot point. (DN3)

Yuzz
This was the name of the language spoken by the Yuzzem race. There was no written form of the Yuzz language, which was made up of a collection of growls, roars, and mewls which were unpronounceable by other races. (UANT)

Yuzzem
This race of fur-covered humanoids was native to the planet Ragna III. They were feline in stature, with long snouts and tremendous strength. They awee tall aliens with a tempermental disposition. Their massive arms reach all the way to the ground, even when standing, and ended in huge hands. They were reported to have the strength and stamina of three men, and also suffered from long, intense hangovers when they get drunk. They were enslaved by the Empire and used in labor camps. Luke and Leia team up with two Yuzzem after escaping from Grammel's prison on Mimban. (SME, EGA)

Yuzzum
An alien race native to Endor's forest moon, Yuzzums were actually a variety of fur-covered mammals who were part of the same zoological family as the Ewoks. They had round, furry bodies supported by long, thin legs. These long legs were used to keep the Yuzzum's head just barely above the savanna grasses of the Dragon's Pelt, where the Yuzzumi hunted for ruggers. Their wide mouths were filled with pointed teeth, and their eyes seemed to glow. Rather than walking, the Yuzzumi rode about on large, three-meter-tall spider-like creatures. Individual Yuzzum had a fair amount of intelligence, but seemed incapable of understanding other lifeforms. They were once taken off the Sanctuary Moon and sold as pets, but their nature did not make them very good pets. The Yuzzum had a musical language, and many - like Joh Yowza - found employment offworld as singers. As a people, the Yuzzum were a warlike race, although this trait often overshadowed their natural cunning and curiosity. Individual Yuzzum were known to reach the age of fifty standard years or more. (HTTE, AT, ISU, CCG7, GORW)

Yuzzum
This was the native language of the Yuzzumi race. It was considered by many linguists to have been the root language of Ewokese. The Yuzzum language was unusual in that it was based on songs, and lacked any written form. (IWST, GORW)

YV-100
This was the first of Corellian Engineering Corporation's YV-series transports, produced during the early years of the New Order. Technically, the YV-series was superior to the popular YT-series, but lacked the YT's upgradability. The YV-100 was shaped like an arrowhead, with a box-like cockpit mounted on a central spine. The main hull resembled that of the YT-1300, while two large sublight engines and two ion engines were mounted across the flatten rear section. Although the ship was moderately powered, this allowed CEC to sell the ships at a reduced cost. At 46.5 meters in length, the YV-100 was one of the larger ships produced in this YV series, and it required a pilot and co-pilot to operate. It could transport up to ten passengers and 150 metric tons of cargo, and was armed with a pair of blaster cannons and two laser cannons. (GMR2)

YV-260
This Corellian Engineering Corporation light freighter measured 41.5 meters in length, and produced during the last years of the Old Republic. (TF)

YV-330
This Corellian Engineering Corporation freighter design incorporated the rectangular cockpit of the earlier YV-100 transport, but was created as a smaller ship for individual use. At 26 meters in length, the YV-330 was easy to operate, but suffered from the lack of upgradability which plagued the YV series. In its stock form, the YV-330 was armed with a pair of blaster cannons, and could transport up to six passengers and 5 metric tons of cargo. Many owners paid extra to have their YV-3300's upgraded to support additional weaponry, for added protection from pirates. (GMR2, TCG8)

YV-545
This Corellian Engineering Corporation freighter was developed to replace the aging YT-series freighters, but it never quite gained the popularity of its predecessor. The YV-545 had a long, tall, narrow hull, with the cockpit and living space located at the top. The engine section was distinguished by a pair of maneuvering fins. This design made the YV-545 more maneuverable and a bit sturdier than the YT-series, but it lacked the visual appeal of the YT-1300. (RESB)

Y-v-6
This was a type of sublight drive system used by Suwantek Systems on the TL-1800 transport. It was extremely reliable, requiring only yearly maintenance. (SS)

YV-664
This Corellian Engineering Corporation freighter was produced during the height of the New Order. It had the familiar saucer-shaped hull of the YT-series, but had its two forward mandible arms mounted at the outer edge of the hull, oppose one another. The drive section was similar to that of a YT-1300. In between the two mandibles were four escape pods. The cockpit was mounted on the right side of the ship, at the base of the right-hand mandible. While the YV-664 possessed a balanced combination of speed, cargo space, and durability, the positioning of the cockpit caused many blindspots for pilots. (TCG3)

YV-666
This Corellian Engineering Coroporation light freighter design was unique in shape from many other transports. It had a large, rectangular main section at the front of the ship that was used for cargo storage. A small bridge pod was mounted on the front end of the rectangle. The rear of the ship was needle-shaped power core and engine drive system. Attached to this rear section were a pair of extendable maneuvering vanes. The ship measured twenty-three meters in length.

Despite its functionality and durability, many considered the YV-666 to be the ungainly offspring of a bird and a brick, which had been designed by the Verpine to fly backward. (EGC, EGV, NEGV, LF4)

YV-888
This Corellian Engineering Corporation light freighter as produced during the early years of the New Republic. (SBS)

YV-929
This was the last of the YV-series transports produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. At 22 meters in length, the YV-929 was a small ship that was marketed as an "armed freighter," designed to give small shippers and merchants a fighting chance to survive pirate raids and ambushes. Built on the same keel as the original YV-100, the fuselage of the YV-929 was enhanced with a pair of external bays that increased its cargo capacity. A domed "parlor" was added below the cockpit, in an effort to make the ship appeal to a more civilian audience. Unfortunately, all of these structural modifications left the YV-929 with little integrity. Many of these ships started popping their seems as soon as the shields were breached, limiting the ship's ability to survive a firefight. The YV-929 was armed with a pair of double turbolaser cannons, two ion cannons, two triple blasters, and four concussion missile launchers. The basic crew included a pilot and three gunners, and could carry up to six passengers and 150 metric tons of cargo. (GMR2)

Yvara
This planet, located within the Kathol Rift, was the homeworld of the Yvarema race. It was a dry, temperate planet of low mountains and fungus-covered plains. It orbited a blue-white star in Kathol Sector. The average day on Yvara lasted 36 standard hours, while its year lasted 453 local days. (KR)

Yvarema
This species of humanoids was one of the rare examples of a hive mind which evolved in a non-insectoid, mammalian species. There were no mindless drones in Yvarema soceity, and each individual was able to develop a personality on its own. However, their intelligence was ensconced in the being known as the Majjvara, while the Majjvara was completely dependent on the rest of Yvarema society for her survival. The average Yvarema was a bulky humanoid with furred head and shoulders, a scaled torso and legs, and a short, thick tail. Their society was broken into four distinct groups, in addition to the Majjvara herself. Workers were the most common Yvarema, being neuter individuals with strong muscles and great stamina. Explorer-scouts had a fat- and water-storing hump on their backs, and were thinner than the workers. Their role was to locate food and resources for the group. Lore gatherers were among the longest-lived Yvarema, second only to the Majjvara in longevity. Their role was to act as librarians and scholars for Yvarema society. The royal explorers were extremely limited in number, and were developed during the modern era of the galaxy after the Yvarema discovered space travel. Unfortunately for the Yvarema, their strong bodies and limited individual intelligence made them prime targets for slavers who worked in the Kathol Outback. Those Yvarema who were separated from their homeworld felt an unending urge to return to their homeworld of Yvara. (KR)

Yve
This Filordus worked for the Cularin Militia, during the final years of the Old Republic. He was one of the few members of his race who genuinely cared for the Cularin System, which went against the grain of the Metatheran Cartel's desires for the system. While not a full member of the Militia, Yve agreed to help them out in any way possible, and he found himself regularly serving as a pilot on some of the Militia's unofficial missions. One such mission involved transporting a group of freelance operatives to Caarimon, to prevent Melo Centris from deploying the deadly virus that had been developed by the Believers to kill Caarites. (MCT3)

YVH 1
Developed by Tenandro Arms and known as Yuuzhan Vong Hunters, this was a line of specially-programmed military droids, designed to combat the increasingly dangerous Yuuzhan Vong threat to the galaxy. First activated some twenty-seven years after the Battle of Yavin, the YVH 1 was given top-of-the-line search-and-indentify engineering, allowing it to distinguish between the alien invaders and the citizens of the New Republic. It was heavily armed, having a variable-output blaster cannon in its right arm and an adaptable left arm which could accept heavy lasers, projectile launchers, and sonic rifles. The YVH 1 was protected by layers of laminanium armor, giving the droid regenerative armor plating.

In stature, the YVH 1 was strikingly similar to a Yuuzhan Vong warrior, an intentional design that was meant to provoke the alien invaders. Because of their appearance, they were often referred to as Yuuzhandroids. As the war against the Yuuzhan Vong wore on, Lando Calrissian had the droids programmed with coded messages for use as war cries. More often than not, the war cries were in the Yuuzhan Vong language, and made known the fact that machines were superior to the Yuuzhan Vong.

Despite the success rate of the YVH 1 against Yuuzhan Vong warriors, they were hard to maintain and were used sparingly throughout the conflict. However, the success of the YVH 1 led to the development of several other combat automata, including YVH-M spy droid. After the end of the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, the designs of the YVH 1 were used as the basis for the Defender Droid. Several YVH 1 droids remained in active military service, while others were used as dueling droids. It was said that a YVH 1 droid was an equal match for an experienced Jedi Knight. (SBS, EL1, NEGD, LF7)

YVH 1-1A
This was the designation of the very first YVH 1 prototype combat droid, produced by Tendrando Arms and demonstrated to Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya, some two years into the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Despite having most of its targeting and combat programming disabled or inhibited because of the public nature of the demonstration, YVH 1-1A nonentheless positively identified the Yuuzhan Vong assassins smuggled onto Coruscant by Bjork Umi and eliminated them. When YVH 1-1A realized that its blasters had been set permanently to a low-power setting, it was forced to revert to other methods of attacking the assassins, including crushing a Yuuzhan Vong warrior in its arms. YVH 1-1A was later assigned to the Jedi strike force which was allowed to be captured by the Yuuzhan Vong, in an effort to infiltrate the worldship laboratory near Myrkr and destroy the voxin queen. YVH 1-1A identified Anakin Solo as the commander of the mission, and referred to the other members as "Private," in keeping with the seemingly military nature of the mission. YVH 1-1A then served as the leader of the droid forces on the mission, coordinating the activities of YVH 2-1S and YVH 2-4S. After ensuring that the Jedi strike team was aboard the Exquisite Death, YVH 1-1A returned to Lando Calrissian. During the evacuation of the planet Coruscant, YVH 1-1A was instrumental in recovering Ben Skywalker and C-3PO from the hold of the Byrt. 1-1A then traveled to Borleias with the remnants of the New Republic. Over time, YVH 1-1A began to develop a personality, and spent a great deal of time harassing Lando. 1-1A and Lando were assigned as pilots of the Record Time, during Luke Skywalker's plan to filtrate Coruscant. The pair had to fake the destruction of the ship, allowing Luke's insertion team to reach the surface while escaping themselves. (SBS, EL1)

YVH 1-24A
This Tendrando Arms Yuuzhan Vong Hunter One droid was part of the team assembled by Lando Calrissian to rescue Ben Skywalker and C-3PO from the hold of the Byrt during the evacuation of Coruscant, when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the capital of the New Republic. (SBS)

YVH 1-25A
This Tendrando Arms Yuuzhan Vong Hunter One droid was part of the team assembled by Lando Calrissian to rescue Ben Skywalker and C-3PO from the hold of the Byrt during the evacuation of Coruscant, when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the capital of the New Republic. Unfortunately for the droid, it was the first to encounter a Yuuzhan Vong singularity mine aboard the ship, and was destroyed when it was sucked into the miniature black hole. (SBS)

YVH 1-302A
This was one of the first Tendrando Arms YVH 1 droids provided to General Ba'tra during the Second Battle of Coruscant. (SBS)

YVH 1-32A
This Tendrando Arms Yuuzhan Vong Hunter One droid was part of the team assembled by Lando Calrissian to rescue Ben Skywalker and C-3PO from the hold of the Byrt during the evacuation of Coruscant, when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the capital of the New Republic. (SBS)

YVH 1-507A
This was one of the Tendrando Arms YVH 1 combat droids assigned to protect Han and Leia Organa Solo, some two years after the Yuuzhan Vong first invaded the galaxy. Its primary mission was to protect the Solos, but it was also responsible for the life of Ben Skywalker, who was stayed on Coruscant with them. YVH 1-507A discovered that a pair of Yuuzhan Vong had infiltrated the Eastport docking facility, and eliminated them before they could harm anyone. YVH 1-507A later ascertained that Viqi Shesh was using an ooglith masquer while posing as the refugee woman Welda, thereby thwarting Shesh's attempt to harm the Solos. However, Shesh had left behind an active thermal detonator. In a valiant effort to save as many people as it could, YVH 1-507A took the detonator to an empty docking bay and allowed it to explode. The droid was vaporized in the resulting explosion. (SBS)

YVH 2-1S
This was one of two Tendrando Arms Yuuzhan Vong Hunter S-series droids assigned to the Jedi Knight strike team which tried to eliminate the voxyn queen at Myrkr, some two years into the alien invasion of the galaxy. Along with YVH 2-4S, YVH 2-1S rode along in the hold of the Stardream until Duman Yaght and the Exquisite Death intercepted the yacht. While the Jedi were being impounded, the two droids attached themselves to the exterior of the Exquisite Death and awaited a signal from Anakin Solo to begin their attack. YVH 2-1S took heavy fire during the capture of the Yuuzhan Vong warship, and had to undergo extensive repairs in order to remain functional. The repairs did little to make the droid operational, and 2-1S made the ultimate sacrifice by allowing itself to assist in helping Ulaha Kore escape from Myrkr. While the Bith fled in the Exquisite Death, 2-1S flew into space and detonated a huge explosive device, destroying itself in order to take out the Yuuzhan Vong ships which moved to intercept Kore. (SBS)

YVH 2-4S
This was one of two Tendrando Arms Yuuzhan Vong Hunter S-Series droids assigned to the Jedi Knight strike team which tried to eliminate the voxyn queen at Myrkr, some two years into the alien invasion of the galaxy. Along with YVH 2-1S, YVH 2-4S rode along in the hold of the Stardream until Duman Yaght and the Exquisite Death intercepted the yacht. While the Jedi were being impounded, the two droids attached themselves to the exterior of the Exquisite Death and awaited a signal from Anakin Solo to begin their attack. Once the Jedi had control of the ship, they were able to reach Myrkr, but their attempt to infiltrate the Baanu Rass was initially thwarted. YVH 2-4S allowed itself to be destroyed in the space above the worldship, thereby providing a distraction that allowed the surviving Jedi to get abaord it. (SBS)

YVH 5-S
This was the official designation of the YHV combat droids that were specially programmed and outfitted to battle the warrior hives of the Colony, during the height of the Swarm War. At the recommendation of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, the YVH 5-S droids were built from the standard S-series platofrm, and then equipped with specialized equipment that allowed them to operate in the vacuum of space. (DN3)

YVH S-series
Developed by Tendrando Arms, this was a specialized version of the Yuuzhan Vong Hunter One combat droid. It was given a unique form of laminanium armor plating, which had the ability to mimic the surroundings of the droid and provide excellent camouflage. (SBS)

YVH-220
This was one of the handful of YVH-series combat droids that were used by the Galney family as security guards at the Villa Solis estate on Terephon, during the years following the Swarm War. Like the other YVH-series droids in the Villa Solis guard, YVH-220 had been programmed to defend the estate against incursion, especially from Jdei Knights. Thus, when Jaina Solo and Zekk arrived to question the Ducha Galney, YVH-220 identified them as targets and fired on them. Unfortunately, Zar Entora was meeting with the Jedi, and the murg handler took the brunt the droid's firepower in her chest. She died almost instantly, and her body was consumed by one of her murgs in the choas that erupted. (LF3)

YVH-908
This was one of the handful of YVH 1 combat droids Jacen Solo used as bodyguards, during the height of the Galactic Alliance's war with The Confederation. Although YVH-908 and its companions were used for their combat skills, Jacen knew that the droids were more than a match for a Jedi Knight. Thus, when Solo fell to the Dark Side of the Force and became Darth Caedus, he kept the YVH 1 droids to protect himself against a possible attack by the Jedi Order.

This forethought proved invaluable when a group of Jedi, led by Kyle Katarn and Corran Horn, tried to infiltrate Jacen's offices to capture or eliminate him. Jacen assigned YVH-908 to look after his daughter, Allana, while he himself set off after the Jedi. The droid continued to serve as one of Jacen's guards, and was on duty when Han and Leia Solo, and Luke and Ben Skywalker, infiltrated the Anakin Solo during Jacen's attempt to capture Centerpoint Station. However, the droid was no match for their combined skills, and was destroyed when Han and Leia finally rescued Allana. (LF7)

YVH-M
This combat droid was derived from the original YVH-1 Yuuzhan Vong Hunter droid. Lando Calrissian and his confederates took the central processing unit of the lumbering YVH-1 and extracted the key programming, then stored it in a miniature processor that fit inside the chassis of an MSE-6 mouse droid. This new droid had several advantages over the larger unit. First, it could move about in almost any location, following any individual it suspected of being a Yuuzhan Vong infiltrator. Second, because mouse droids were used throughout the galaxy, and because nobody ever paid them any heed, the YVH-M could move about in virtual obscurity while it searched for possible Yuuzhan Vong individuals. (DW)

YVH-M-1
This was the first of the YVH-M droids produced by Lando Calrissian. It was given to Mara Jade Skywalker, who used the droid to locate Yuuzhan Vong infiltrators on Heurkea, shortly before the Battle of Ebaq. (DW)

Y-Wing
This was the common name of Koensayr Manufacturing's BTL Longprobe Starfighter. Originally designed for long range reconnaissance, this J-type snub fighter had twin-propulsion systems behind a single cockpit. The BTL-A4 wass a 16-meter-long, one-man fighter with space for an astromech droid. The BTL-S3 was a two-man fighter, also equipped with an astromech droid. The original plans for the Y-Wing were developed during the months prior to the Clone Wars, and Koensayr had planned to sell them to the Galactic Republic. However, production delays caused by the galactic conflict forced Koensayr to delay its production, and the first Y-Wings weren't generally available until after the end of the Clone Wars. The newly-formed Galactic Empire had no interest in the Y-Wing, so Koensayr sold them to the highest bidders.

Known as a wishbone to the pilots of the Rebel Alliance, the Y-Wing was capable of achieving 80 MGLT at sublight speeds, and could maneuver at 1,000 kilometers per hour in an atmosphere. Because the Y-Wing required constant repairs, the Alliance and many other independent parties often stripped off the outer hull covering the craft aft of the cockpit, to make repairs easier to execute. The durability of the Y-Wing made it a staple in the Alliance's starfighter corps, and it was rumored that the Alliance lost more Y-Wings than any other ship type during the Galactic Civil War.

The Y-Wing boasted the following shipboard systems:

• Gax Revival Life Support System
• R2 Astromech Unit for Navigation
• 2 ArMek SW4 Laser Cannons mounted on top
• Titanium Reinforced Alusteel Alloy Hull (rated at 40 RU)
• Thiodyne O-3R Ionization Reactor
• Koensayr R300-H Hyperdrive Motivation Unit
• Long Range Phased Tachyon Detection Array Model Number PA-9r
• Short Range Primary Threat Analysis Grid Number PG-7u
• 2 Disk Ventrals for maneuvering
• Cryogenic Power Cells
• Subpro NH-7 Avionics Control Package
• Fabritech ANs-5d Sensor Unit
• SI 5G7 Quickscan Vector Imaging Crosshairs

Note that there was a specially-built version of the Y-Wing bomber which appeared in the Marvel Comics Star Wars series, which had a cockpit that was big enough for four beings to move about in comfortably. It even had an airlock which allowed its occupants to move from ship to ship. Also note that Star Wars Galaxies notes the BTL-S3 as the standard Y-Wing model, and the BTL-A4 as the Longprobe model.

Y-Wing Courier
This was a variation on the standard Y-Wing starfighter that was produced by Koensayr Manufacturing during the early years of the New Order. Koensayr wanted its engineers to develop a small shuttle that could transport more passengers and cargo, and the engineers chose to start from the basic BTL-S3 Y-Wing platform, which was readily available, rather than starting from scratch. The Y-Wing cockpit was expanded by removing the weapons systems for the chin-mounted ion cannons, allowing for additional space that was used for cargo, fuel, and a backup hyperdrive. The rest of the cockpit was altered to allow space for two crew members and up to three passengers. The canopy split open and folded back, rather than lifting up, which allowed the passengers to get on or off at one time. The cockpit was also modified to eject from the main body in case of emergency, and could act like a large escape pod. (SSOG)

Ywllandr System
This star system saw heavy fighing during the final stages of the Clone Wars. The Confederacy of Independent Systems initially took control of the system, using it as the choke point in a scheme which forced Republic starships to travel through the system to reach other parts of the Outer Rim Territories. Jedi Master Plo Koon took the Courageous and a small fleet to the Ywllandr System, and tried to remove the Separatist threat. (E3N)

YX-90
This droid motivation unit was developed by Cybot Galactica for use in the TDL-501 series of waitress droids. (MJH)

YZ-1000
One of the earliest Corellian Engineering Corporation transport designs, they were considered outdated during the period surrounding the Battle of Naboo. (RP)

YZ-775
This Corellian Engineering Corporation transport was promoted as a ship that would allow merchants to protect their cargoes from ambushes and raids. However, this claim was taken with a grain of salt when it came to its actual design. The YZ-775 was adapted from the design of the Corellian Gunship, and was almost large enough to be classified as a capital ship. It measured fifty-two meters in length, and was armed with a pair of turbolaser cannons, two twin laser cannons, and two proton torpedo tubes. Its crew of eight handled all shipboard systems from the enlarged cockpit, which was about twice the size of that found on a YT-1300.

The ship's two central decks could accommodate up to fourteen passengers and 400 metric tons of cargo. There were two configurations of these mid-section decks, depending on whether or not an owner wanted the cargo on the upper or lower deck. The stock configuration had the cargo in the upper deck, which provided better security was required additional effort to off-load cargo at a delivery point. Its huge sublight engines and enhanced shield systems made the YZ-775 more of a paramilitary transport than a shipping vessel. Despite its military appearance, the YZ-775 found its greatest acceptance among independent cargo haulers, who liked the ability to defend themselves against pirates and other attackers.

The Corellian Engineering Corporation had to petition the Imperial Bureau of Shipyards and Construction in order to obtain permission to build the YZ-775, since its standard armament was much greater than the standard for non-military starships. Initial production of the YZ-775 began a few years after the end of the Clone Wars, and continued for many years despite the fact that CEC was often accused of producing the ship for paramilitary operations. Critics often pointed out that many YZ-775 vessels were purchased by independent star systems for use in planetary defense and customs operations. (GMR2, GMR9, WOTC)

YZ-900
Following in the tradition of the YZ-775, the Corellian Engineering Corporation's YZ-900 was capital ship-sized cargo vessel which appeared to be more of a paramilitary assault craft. Measuring 54.3 meters in length, the YZ-900 was armed with a pair of heavy twin laser cannons, two double laser cannons, and a pair of concussion missile launchers that fired fore and aft. The YZ-900 required a crew of eight to operate, including gunners, and could carry up to fourteen passengers and 500 metric tons of cargo. (GMR2)

Yzalli, Eamon
This was Corran Horn's alias when he went undercover and worked for Mosh Barris on Garqi. Yzalli was a native of Alderaan who devised a clever plan to expose the rebellion on Garqi, but he would actually free them from Barris' prisons and implicate the Prefect as a traitor to the Empire. Yzalli was to be executed by Barris for his "treachery," but instead sent a coded message to Kirtan Loor. The message implicated Barris in the escape of the Star's Delight, and claimed that he was planning to usurp Governor Tadrin and turn Garqi over to the New Republic. Horn later used the Yzalli alias, this time as a ship's mechanic aboard the Mimban Cloudrider when Rogue Squadron first pirated from Ysanne Isard's bacta cartel. (TFE, BW, SWJ7)
