A Galaxy Befuddled
This holodocumentary, produced shortly after the Battle of Naboo and hosted by Doctor A. Rahring, provided a glimpse into the life of the Dorumaa leviathan. While much of what was portrayed in the holodocumentary was true, the Dorumaa Research Insititute feared that it was too sensationalistic to do much good. Among the many theories that Doctor Rahring presented was the possibility that the female leviathan who birthed Jessel and Titon had a strong connection to the Force, and used it to place herself into a Force-assisted trance when Dorumaa was knocked from its orbit. He also questioned the origins of the leviathans, showing the incredible similarities that a leviathan had to the organic starships that were produced by the Mon Calamari. One of his closing arguments was that the leviathans were not actually native to Dorumaa, but had been brought to the watery world by unknown beings.

A-1 Deluxe
An old model "floater" produced by Mobquet Swoops and Speeders, this landspeeder was produced just prior to the onset of the Clone Wars. It was not the fastest, sleekest, or most desirable speeder on the market, and was initially panned by critics. It was, however, extremely reliable and inexpensive. The body was 7.1 meters in length, but was thin and cylindrical, allowing it to accommodate just a pilot and a single passenger. The configuration of the speeder meant that the pilot and passenger had to sit one behind the other. An option on the A-1 was Corellian leather seating. One of the primary drawbacks to the A-1 Deluxe was the lack of cooling capacity for its drive systems. The A-1 Deluxe had a two-meter flight ceiling, and could attain speeds of 160 kilometers per hour.

A-1707
This was the callsign of one of the multitude of clone troopers who fought for the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, serving under the command of Jedi Master Shaak Ti. A-1707's gunship was forced to crash-land on a remote jungle world about a year after the Battle of Geonosis, and A-1707 was the only member of his squad to survive the next two decades. His presence on the jungle world was discovered by Commander Narra and Luke Skywalker, during the search for a new Alliance base in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. The Alliance forces scouting the planet had been tracked by Imperial forces, and ambushed once they were on the ground. A-1707 had also been tracking the Alliance team, and was unsure how to proceeed when he saw Imperial stormtroopers chasing them through the jungle. Narra, in order to gain A-1707's confidence, explained the state of the galaxy since the Clone Wars, and indicated that Luke was a Jedi Knight as well as a "General" in the military. A-1707's ingrained training kicked in, and he agreed to support Narra's forces and later joined the Alliance. After becoming part of the Alliance's military, he asked that he be called Able, rather than his original identification number.

A280
One of the best armor-piercing blasters produced during the Galactic Civil War, the BlasTech A280 rifle was reputed to be able to cut a fully-armored stormtrooper in half. Several of these rifles were stolen by Janse and brought to the Alliance shortly before the Battle of Endor. This weapon, along with predecessor, the DLT-20A, were marketed as Longblasters. The A280 was different from the DLT-20A in that its galven circuits were clustered near the focusing crystal, giving the weapon a slight bulge at the midseciton. This also provided the A280 with more power over a longer range.
(RASB, TLC, CCG10, AEG)

(SWJ11)
A5-R
This smaller version of the HAVw A5 Juggernaut was developed for deployment on terrains or in enviroments where the full-sized Juggernaut could not manevuer. Moving about on two stout treads, the A5-R was designed for reconnaissance missions. This did not mean that it was a pushover, however. The A5-R was armed with a pair of shock rifles and two projectile launchers, giving it enough firepower to defend itself against larger vehicles. These tanks came into use during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War.

A-9 Vigilance Interceptor
This fast, highly maneuverable starfighter was built by Kuat Drive Yards from plans that were pulled out of the design archives in order to help fill the gap left by the loss of so many TIE Fighters during the Galactic Civil War. However, when the Alliance defeated the Empire at the Battle of Endor, many of KDY's factory worlds were the sites of rebellion and revolt. One such world was the prime manufacturing site of the A-9. When all was said and done, the A-9 found its way to the New Republic's arsenal instead of the Imperial fleet. The craft measured 7.4 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of heavy turbolaser cannons. Like the TIE Fighter, the A-9 had no hyperdrive, although it was capable of speeds approaching 1,300 kph. The A-9 remained a durable fighter for many years, with a large number of them seeing continual service in planetary defense fleets in the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The primary drawback to the A-9 Vigilance was ihull strength, which many pilots considered to be too weak for extended use in combat.

A9G Archive Droid
Developed by Industrial Automaton, this humanoid droid was designed to archive and collate large amounts of data. The primary operation of the A9G-series was as a librarian or library administrator. Unfortunately, the software which controlled these droids was flawed, and many universities and major libraries overwhelmed them. The A9G series was scrapped, and the Alliance acquired several of them on the auction blocks. With a bit of reprogramming, the A9G units were modified to sift through large amounts of military information and retrieve specific documents for military leaders.

AA23, Cularin-404
This was the designation used by the Fortune Seekers Intergalactic Bounty Dispatch Service to identify the bounty taken out by Velin Wir on a group of freelance agents who were working in the Cularin System, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Known as Contract AA23, this bounty remained in effect throughout the time that the Cularin System disappeared from the galaxy, effectively accruing in value for more than ten years. When the system returned, the bounty was worth nearly 500,000 credits, prompting a group of bonuty hunters led by K1-1R to attempt to claim it.
The agents managed to escape capture, and Hohn Ryntz was able to convince the Hutts who ran the Fortune Seekers agency to suspend, and ultimately invalidate, the bounty.
(AA23)
A-A5
This was the designation of Trast's speeder truck. Measuring over twenty-one meters in length, the A-A5 was designed to transport heavy cargoes across rough terrain on Outer Rim worlds. The A-A5 required a three-person crew, and could accommodate up to 25,000 kilograms of cargo. The A-A5 was protected from harsh environments by thick armor plating, which made the A-A5 easily reconfigurable for use as an unarmed troop transport.

Aabe, Peita
This bald man, a former Imperial officer, served as the Chief Navigator of the Chiss Expansionary Defense Force during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Several years earlier, he suddenly appeared at the border of Chiss space, asking for asylum. Distinguished by thin mouth, deep-set eyes, and prodigious nose, Aabe was a short-tempered man who had little patience. He was also determined to keep Csilla out of the New Republic, and found a number of supporters among the Chiss. In order to ensure that Csilla remained outside the Republic, Aabe arranged to have Soontir Fel's family captured and eliminated, a plan which would silence the loudest support for Csilla's joining the Republic. However, when his plans were revealed to those Chiss who served him, Aabe found himself acting alone. His self-centered goals didn't sit well with the Chiss, and he was forced to submit to Jacen Solo and Commander Irolia. He was tried and imprisoned for his treachery.
(FH2)
AAC-1
This SoroSuub speeder tank was originally designed for the Imperial military, but the designs wound up in the hands of the Naboo Royal Security Forces and, eventually the Alliance, which produced the AAC-1 for use during the Galactic Civil War. The AAC-1 speeder tank was designed to be fast and durable, and its weaponry - including laser cannons, particle beams, and projectiles - made it a formidble anti-aircraft vehicle.
(SWB2)
Aach
This was a codename used by one of Bail Organa's agents during the last days of the Imperial Senate. He was used only when top-level business of the Alliance needed to be conducted. Thus, his presence always meant something important to the recipient of his message. Aach was dispatched to Anchoron to tell Garm Bel Iblis of the discovery of the plans to the first Death Star. Aach's arrival delayed the beginning of Bel Iblis' speech to the assembled group at the Treitamma Political Center, and probably saved the Senator's life. The Center exploded in a ball of flame, part of a plot to assassinate Bel Iblis's wife and force him to join the Alliance.

The Exchange kidnapped Aaida and held her hostage, in an attempt to force Lootra to become a member of the Exchange. He refused, and eventually asked The Exile to help him free Aaida. The Exile managed to free her, and the couple was reunited.

Aak, Ask
This Gran Senator from the planet Malastare represented his homeworld to the Old Republic after Aks Moe was killed in a speeder accident. During the height of the Clone Wars, Senator Aak was a vocal opponent of the Jedi Knights, wondering aloud about their ability to lead the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic. He questioned the ability of a group of "peacemakers" to act as generals in the military, a stance he loudly reiterated after the defeats at the Battle of Jabiim and on Parcelus Minor. With the destruction of the Star of Iskin and the death of Finis Valorum, Senator Ask Aak found even more ammunition for his stance, which allowed him to speak eloquently in favor of the Security and Enforcement Act. His support of Chancellor Palpatine enhanced his standing during the Clone Wars, and he remained loyal to Palpatine following the establishment of the Galactic Empire. Senator Aak went so far as to put plans in motion to undermine the efforts of certain Senators who quietly opposed Emperor Palpatine, including an attempt on the life of Senator Bail Organa's young daughter, Leia Organa.

Aa'kua
This Old Corellian term meant "respect" or, more literally, "respecting space." When used by a Socorran, it translated to "individual space," and indicated the right of every native of Socorro to go about his or her own business without others prying in. A violation of aa'kua was taken as a crime against the individual's own person, and was considered worse than murder.

Aa'kuan
This was the name of a religious militant group that developed on the planet Talus during the early stages of the New Order. Their name derived from the Old Corellian word aa'kua, which meant "respect." Their beliefs mirrored their name, in that the Aa'kuan believed that all beings had a right to live their lives as they chose, without the interference of government. The Aa'kuan were generally considered pacifists, although they vehemently fought for the freedom to maintain their personal territories.

Aargau
A planet of some importance to the Empire, Aargau was known throughout the galaxy for its banks. It was known to many beings as the Jewel of the Zug System. By the time of the Clone Wars, Aargau was under the control of the InterGalactic Banking Clan. Much of the planet's surface was dominated by a huge pyramid, which was divided into seven distinct and vast levels that had been built one atop the other for thousands of years. All visitors reported to the uppermost level, which was the smallest and easiest to secure. Access to the lower levels was granted on an as-needed basis to those citizens and visitors with the correct credentials. The seventh level, known as the Undercity, was a lawless area where any number of illegal and criminal activites could be found. In order to ensure that individuals remained on the correct levels, specialized lasers tinted the lighting of each level to a unique color. Sometime before the Battle of Yavin, Aargau was the site of a week-long conference between Baron Tagge and the Corporate Sector companies. The result of the meeting was the formation of the Corporate Sector Authority. Aargau remained neutral during the Galactic Civil War, although Princess Leia Organa and Darth Vader played an intricate game of politics there. After the Battle of Endor, Aargau fortified itself behind planetary shields and perimeter warships. Aargau was the third planet of the Zug System, and was orbited by a single moon. The average day on the planet lasted 24 standard hours, and its year encompassed 364 local days, giving Aargau a similar calendar to that of Coruscant.

Aargonar
This relatively unimporant world was covered with rocky deserts that were filled with wondrous stone spires and arches, the reminders of the water that once flowed freely on its surface. During the height of the Clone Wars, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis, Aargonar was supposedly under the control of the Old Republic when the Confederacy of Independent Systems tried to take possession of the planet. A vicious battle ensued, with the Republic's forces being led by Jedi Master A'Sharad Hett. Years later, the planet's third moon served as the site of an Alliance base, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was also known as the homeworld of several individual sarlacc creatures, located across the planet's surface.

Aaris
This was the name given to the original race of beings which inhabited the jungles of Aaris III. The name was later used to describe the primitive descendants of the original race. The ancient Aaris were advanced for their time, but their civilization was ruled by the visionaries and oracles who read the stars and cosmic events. Foremost among the seers was an Aaris named Kastays, who foretold the downfall of Aaris civilization after seeing a comet streak across the skies. Kastays' vision proved to be correct, for shortly afterward a victorious military force returned from battle with the Plaque of Victory. The Plaque's unusual powers created a number of power struggles and unusual omens, and the Aaris destroyed themselves in a planetwide civil war. Modern Aaris were wart-covered, reptilian humanoids barely a meter in height. They were quite primitive in their ways, although they were very experienced in navigating the ruins of Aaris III.
(DARK)
Aaris III
This remote planet was located in Kathol Sector, just off the Trition Trade Route from Kolatill. The third world in the Aaris System, it was a lush, tropical world covered with jungles and dotted with abrupt mountain ranges. A variety of ruins were scattered across its surface, representing the only remnants of the original civilization of Aaris which inhabited the planet. During the last years of the New Order, Aaris III was also the site of an outlaw camp, located on the far side of the planet from the Place of Kastays.
(DARK)
Aarn
This was one of the small group of Shamed Ones who lived beneath the surface of Coruscant, after the planet had been transformed into a likeness of Yuuzhan'tar. Aarn was one of the few Shamed Ones who lived independently, away from groups like that led by Vuurok I'pan. Like the other Shamed ones, though, Aarn believed that the Jedi Knights were not abominations, but saviors of the Shamed Ones and symbols of the new ideology which should be embraced by the Yuuzhan Vong. For this reason, their band remained small, in case they were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. This ensured that their small cult of Jedi followers would never be fully discovered. Aarn himself was relatively young, but his slender features indicated that his ancestors had probably been Shamed Ones as well. Aarn was one of the primary sources of stories surrounding Vua Rapuung and his friendship with Anakin Solo, having heard of the original story from a friend on Garqi.

Aarrba
This amiable Hutt ran a repair and salvage shop on the planet Cinnagar about 5,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. Aarrba was a friend to Hok and Timar Daragon, and continually kept their starship in working order. It was Aarrba who took in Jori and Gav Daragon, after they were orphaned during the First Unification Wars, and raised them to adulthood. Aarrba continued to support them, giving them loans when no one else would, until they were unable to pay for repairs to their ship following the discovery of the Goluud Corridor. He was forced to have them arrested, in order to make them face up to their debts. When they fled the authorities, Aarrba impounded their ship and called in all their debts. Aarrba's body was stricken with sickness, and much of his body was amputated to remove the infection. He was relegated to a repulsor-chair in order to move about. When Naga Sadow began his conquest of the Koros System, Gav Daragon returned to Cinnagar and was confronted by Aarrba. Aarrba threatened Gav with imprisonment for his crimes, but Gav's Massassi bodyguards moved into position. Before he could do anything about it, Aarrba was killed by the bodyguards. Much later, after the Great Hyperspace War, Empress Teta gave Jori Daragon all rights to Aarrba's repair station for her part in winning the war.

AAT Battle Tank
This Baktoid Armor Workshop craft was created for use by the Trade Federation and its droid armies. Measuring 9.75 meters in length, the AAT required four battle droids to operate it: a commander, a pilot, and two gunners. The ship was well armed, with a huge laser cannon turret-mounted atop the main section, a pair of range-finding blaster cannons to support the main laser, two anti-personnel blasters mounted with the range-finding weapons, and six projectile launchers. They can reach ground speeds of up to 55 kph and, while not shielded, had incredibly thick armor plating to protect the tank from attack.

Aay'han
This Mando'a word referred to a bittersweet time of remembrance and celebration, and was often used to describe a period of mourning after the death of a family member. As a rule, Mandalorians who died were not buried, a fate that was reserved for the members of the Mand'alore. Most individuals were cremated, unless the body could not be recovered, and their ashes were strewn into the wind. In order to preserve their memories, deceased Mandalorians were remembered in nightly recitals of their names, an act that was believe to keep their existence alive, as well as their memory. Sometimes, the personal effects of a deceased individual were kept as well, especially their body armor.
The concept of aay'han was instilled into many of the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic by the instructors of the Cuy'val Dar, and often came into question by the Jedi Knights who served as their generals because of the emotional intensity it implied.
(OWS, SWI86, RCTC)
Aay'han
This was the name given to the DeepWater-class freighter that was purchased by Kal Skirata and the clone commando Ordo, on the planet Agamar, during the height of the Clone Wars. Skirata chose the name to honor the bittersweet memories of his adoptive father, Munin, and the clone named Dov who died while training under Skirata. The ship remained with Skirata when he returned to Coruscant, although he chose to store the ship in an underground reservoir in order to keep its existence a secret. In this way, Kal could use the ship as an escape vessel in case something went wrong. Near the end of the Clone Wars, Kal began refitting the ship a little at a time, in order to not draw attention to the work. He added more storage and filled it with supplies of all kinds, preparing for the day when he and his close friends finally left military service - at the end of the war, or by defecting - and returned to Mandalore.

Abdi had learned of the plot shortly beforehand, and tried to warn his father. His father ignored him, and even accused Abdi of being the would-be assassin. Abdi was sold into slavery shortly before the murder of his family. The slave ship he was transported on crashed in the deserts of Socorro, and Abdi was rescued by an Ibhaan'I shaman. Upon learning of the deaths of his family, Abdi vowed to exact revenge on their killers. He made friends with the most prominent members of Socorro's underground, and eventually moved his family fortune away from Ryloth. This got him exiled form Ryloth, but he was beyond caring for that world anymore: Socorro was now his home. His ties to the Society of the Black Bha'lir gained him a measure of respect, and soon he had established a great deal of influence in the smuggling business of the planet. He even ignored the Hutts, knowing that the Black Bha'lir wouldn't tolerate Hutt interference on Socorro. Eventually, Abdi-Badawzi's criminal empire expanded, and his capable leadership ensured its continued existence.

This red Nikto was a pirate who worked for the Nalroni crimelord Sprax. He chose to shorten his full name - Nim'abek'shy-wedell - to make it easier for non-Nikto to communicate with him. He began his career as a freelance pirate working the Sisar Run, until his gang preyed upon one of Sprax's starships. The vigo brought him in, and Nim Abek was surprised when the Nalroni offered him a job instead of executing him. Since then, Nim Abek had been given command of some 100 pirates, plying the spacelanes of the Sisar Run. He maintained a shadowport just beyond the intersection of the Sisar Run and the Ac'fren Spur, known as Abek's Station, to further his own goals. When he learned that information about Black Sun's operations along the Sisar Run were up for sale by Limna Yith, Abek tried to obtain the information before Sprax learned of it, in order to lessen Sprax's stature in the eyes of Prince Xizor.

Abeloth
This was the name adopted by the Force presence that inhabited the Maw cluster of black holes. Abeloth inhabited a jungle-covered planetoid within the Maw, which was the location of the so-called Font of Power. Despite the planetoid's predatory forms of life, Abeloth appeared to be in control of all life, and the carnvirous plants and vicious reptiles seemed almost docile in her presence. Although she was outwardly human in appearance, Abeloth changed details about her features based on the appearance of any other beings in her presence. This allowed Abeloth to fit in with any beings who discovered her presence. When a group of Sith led by Lady Olaris Rhea discovered the jungle world, some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, Abeloth initially attacked them in order to defend herself. She cocooned Yuvar Xal in purplish silk webs, and flung Vestara Khai and Ahri Raas to the ground with Force-augmented blasts of power. Once she realized who she was dealing with, Abeloth explained to them that she had been marooned on the planetoid some thirty years earlier, and that her isolation had left her mad enough to believe she was hallucinating when she encountered the Sith. Abeloth quickly revealed that she was more that willing to return with the Sith to their homeworld of Kesh, but she seemed surprised to learn that the Sith were on the planetoid in search of the meditation sphere known as Ship. Abeloth's demeanor changed as soon as Lady Rhea explained that the Sith were going to return to Kesh as soon as Ship was captured. The plants that had seemed to obey her commands returned to their wild state, and attacked the Sith at every opportunity. Abeloth's appearance began to change as well, with her body becoming more and more plant-like, while her face retained its human characteristics. When Ship explained to Vestara Khai that the Sith were as trapped on the planetoid as it was, Abeloth realized that she had regained control of the situation. She then urged Lord Xal to assume command of the mission, after Lady Rhea discerned the presence of Luke Skywalker near the Maw, prompting him to take control of Ship and set out to kill Skywalker. Lady Rhea asked if Abeloth herself still planned to return to Kesh with the Sith, and she adamantly expressed her desire to leave the planetoid with them. Abeloth then began to use her powers to influence Lady Rhea, insinuating that she could help her become a High Lord of the Sith.

This race of slender reptilians was native to the planet Inysh. Their limbs were long and supple, and their tails end in a fork. The Abinyshi developed space travel at about the same time as humans, although their technology never matched the levels of the Corellians or Duros. They used starships to colonize several nearby worlds, but their overall population never blossomed enough for them to expand further. Their numbers were greatly diminished after the Empire discovered the reserves of kalonterium in the planet's crust. The Empire stripped the planet of its minerals without regard for the native lifeforms, and the toxic pollution it produced nearly wiped out the Abinyshi. The Abinyshi were believed to be extinct, but several individuals came forth as the Alliance gained support.

Able then assisted the Alliance forces in defeating the Imperials who were stationed on the jungle planet, and was helped off the planet by Skywalker during the Alliance's retreat. Able agreed to join the Alliance's Intelligence agency, and was part of the assault team that tried to rescue Jorin Sol from the Imperial labor colony on Kalist VI, about eight months after the Battle of Yavin. He openly questioned Sergeant Basso's decision to alter the plan to rescue the Jabiimi slaves they encountered on Kalist VI, but eventually recognized Basso's plan had merit. Their mission was ultimately successful, as the Alliance team was able to secure both Jorin Sol and the Jabiimi slaves aboard the Nuna's Twins and flee into hyperspace.
On another mission, Able was part of the crew of the Rebel One, when the ship was dragged out of hyperspace near Bannistar Station. He agreed to take part in a desparate attack on the station, working with Princess Leia Organa to set explosive charges to the station's massive fuel storage cells. Unfortunately, the storage tank they started with turned out to be empty, and a team of stormtroopers was able to hear their movements along its outer surface. In the firefight that ensued, Able and the Princess were forced to surrender, and were brought to the main control center for questioning. They were ventually rescued from their Imperial captors, and Able was assigned to a new mission to recover an abandoned Imperial weapon. Luke Skywalker was placed in charge of the mission, and Able found it difficult to refer to Luke's rank as simply Captain. Able sometimes referred to Luke as General Skywalker, a hold-over from Able's service during the Clone Wars, when all Jedi were giving the rank of General. Luke explained that he was not actually a Jedi, and Able agreed to do what he could to remember Luke's actual rank.
The Alliance's military leaders had obtained intelligence on the location of the weapon from a reliable source, and sent the team to a remote planetoid to recover it. Able and several other members of the team feared that the information about the weapon had been leaked by the Empire, to lay an elaborate trap for the Alliance's forces, and Able found that they were correct when he crossed a ridge and came face-to-face with a horde or rakghouls. He was overrun by the creatures, who had once been stormtroopers, but had been altered by the Muur Talisman that Morne wore around her neck. Able was knocked unconscious as the creatures rushed passed him to locate Skywalker, and when he regained consciousness, Able found that he had broken his ankle and was probably suffering a concussion. Nevertheless, he set out to ensure that Princess Leia was safe. He found her in the cave where Celeste Morne had captured Skywalker, and when Able rushed in to protect the Princess, Morne grabbed his body with the Force and changed him into a rakghoul. The Alliance's forces eventually escaped the planetoid, leaving Able's transformed body behind.

Acclamator II-class Assault Ship
This ship was the second in the Acclamator series that was designed for the Old Republic's use during the Clone Wars. Whereas the original Acclamator-class ship was listed as a military transport or troopship, the Acclamator II-class vessel was a warship designed for planetary bombardment. While the crew complement remained the same, the number of clone troopers the Acclamator II-class ship could carry was cut by more than seventy-five percent, with space for just 3,200 troopers. This allowed more space for the advanced weapons systems and their payloads, which included turbolaser batteries and heavy proton torpedo launchers. Any troopers carried aboard this ship were often delegated as support troops, and were landed only in the case of emergency or mission specialization.
(TCG10, SSOG)
Acclamator-class Troopship
Developed and manufactured by Rothana Heavy Engineering, the 752-meter-long Acclamator-class trans-galactic military transport ship was designed in support of the Grand Army of the Republic. Measuring 752 meters in length, the Acclamator could carry up to 16,000 clone troopers, 320 speeder bikes, 80 LAAT/c or LAAT/i gunships, 48 AT-TE walkers, and 36 SPHA-T vehicles. The ship was created for the Republic, rather than the Trade Federation or the Separatists, after several Kuati officials were murdered by the Federation at the Eriadu Conference. The Acclamator-class ship was the first ship produced for the Grand Army of the Republic, and was designed to carry huge numbers of troops and support materiel into battle anywhere in the galaxy.
What made them unusual for a capital ship was that the Acclamator-class could move through planetary atmospheres as well as the vacuum of deep space. This meant that separate dropships were not required, but it also subjected a landed vessel to enemy ground fire. In order to protect the ships on the ground, captains often landed their troops in a rotation, with empty Acclamator-class ships pulling back to provide covering fire. However, a sole Acclamator-class ship was not armed to fight back against the combined fire of an enemy force. Rather, it served as a mible command center for other warships. This led to the development of the Acclamator II-class assault ship, although both vessels were later abandoned by the Empire in favor of more powerful warships. In most design respects, the Acclamator was the predecessor of the Victory- and Imperial-class Star Destroyers.
Each of these massive ships was armed with twelve quad turbolaser turrets, twenty-four laser cannons, and four projectile launchers. It was crewed by 700 officers, and was equipped with a Class 0.6 hyperdrive in order to get troops into battle arenas with maximum swiftness. Note that Starships of the Galaxy - Saga Edition indicates that this ship required a crew of 20,141, and was armed with only two quad turbolasers and four laser cannons, in addition to the four projectile launchers. The Acclamator was distinguished as the first ship capable of carrying out a Base Delta Zero order, something never seen in the Old Republic until the onset of the Clone Wars.

This Yedagon city was supposedly attacked and destroyed by the Lords of Dismay Flightknife, during the civil war which broke out on Adumar due to Tomer Darpen's treacherous schemes. In reality, the flatcam reports of the battle were faked, in an effort to keep the Empire from learning that the Adumari had sided with the New Republic. The reports were meant to hold off any Imperial reprisal because of the Adumari choice until a New Republic fleet could arrive to defend Adumar.

This Imperial-class Star Destroyer served the Empire as a patrol ship during the period leading up to the Battle of Endor, monitoring the shipping lanes for criminals and members of the Alliance. Under Imperial duty, the Accuser was in the Tatooine System when Boba Fett arrived with the frozen body of Han Solo. Darth Vader gave the Star Destroyer and the rest of its fleet the order to stand down and let Fett deliver Solo's body to Jabba the Hutt. Tycho Celchu was assigned to the Accuser during his first stint of Imperial duty. He was talking to his family on Alderaan when the planet was destroyed by the first Death Star. Unfortunately for the Imperial fleet, it was later one of the first Imperial-I class Star Destroyers the New Republic captured after the Battle of Endor. In a bold and reckless action, Han Solo and Lieutenant Page literally talked their way onto the bridge of the ship, and Solo himself - dressed in a stolen officer's uniform - relieved the ship's commander of duty and took control of the ship. It was later renamed Emancipator. Note that X-Wing: Isard's Revenge claims the Accuser is an Imperial-II class ship.

Acherin
This planet was located in a star system near Deneter. Like Deneter, Acherin had been devastated during the Clone Wars. Acherin was the homeworld of a race of humanoid beings. Much of the planet's surface was open land, and there were only three cities located on Acherin. In the wake of the Clone Wars, very little was left in these cities, leaving the survivors in Eluthan and Sood to squabble over any remaining resources.
Imperial forces kept the two cities separated, and took control of much of the planet's factories. When the planet could no longer supply the raw materials needed to keep these factories working, the Empire abandoned Acherin. The leaders of Eluthan and Sood then launched into a devastating civil war, which further reduced the planet and its resources to minimal survival levels.

A hardened criminal, Acib had been in prison on Kessel during the Battle of Endor, and had been freed as part of a daring plan hatched by the New Republic to retake control of Coruscant. The plan, developed by Wedge Antilles, freed Acib and fifteen other criminals on Kessel, then set them free on Coruscant to cause all manner of trouble for the surviving Imperials on the planet. Although the plan ultimately succeeded, Acib was allowed to remain free, and eventually gathered enough power to resurrect Black Sun. At the urging of Grappa the Hutt, he developed a group of clones of Xandel Carivus, in an effort to place a puppet in his place on the Imperial Interim Ruling Council. He also poisoned General Immodet to help cover his tracks. Their plans backfired when the clones were defeated on Ord Cantrell, and were traced back to Black Sun. When Macus Kayniph's cloning facilities were destroyed by the New Republic, Acib began to feel that Grappa's plans were falling apart. His fears were realized when Grappa was captured by the Zanibar and taken to Xo as a sacrifice.

Ackbar
This was one of the more common names given to males of the Mon Calamari race. To the Mon Calamari, this name meant "selfless servant".
(GCG)
Ackbar
This Mon Calamarian served the Alliance as a Navy Admiral, and was later promoted to the position of Commander-in-Chief of the New Republic. Years before his service to the Alliance, Ackbar was serving as an officer in the Mon Calamarian Navy, until he was captured when the Empire took over Calamari. Because of his military skills, Ackbar was presented to Grand Moff Tarkin as a personal slave. He followed Tarkin around everywhere, all the while collecting information about the Imperial war machine, in hopes that he could escape and provide the knowledge to the Alliance. He gained limited knowledge about the Death Star in this fashion, enough to make him fear for the safety and future of the galaxy. When Tarkin decided to move to a permanent post on the Death Star, Ackbar was to be brought along with him. However, Tarkin's shuttle was attacked by an elite force whose goal was to assassinate Tarkin. They failed only when an Imperial Star Destroyer arrived to drive off the attackers, but they managed to rescue Ackbar in the attack. From that point on, Ackbar served the Alliance faithfully, using his knowledge of Imperial doctrine wherever possible. He was in command at the Battle of Endor, guiding the space battle over the second Death Star and drawing fire from the ships that were to destroy the space station's central power core. Following the formation of the New Republic, Ackbar became one of the Republic's ruling members, until Councilor Fey'lya used incriminating evidence against him - planted, unknown to Fey'lya, by Grand Admiral Thrawn - in an effort to discredit Ackbar. When Fey'lya's plans were revealed, Ackbar was reinstated as a New Republic dignitary and the Commander of the Navy. He was away from Calamari when the reborn Emperor Palpatine attacked the planet, and survived the assault on his homeworld. Later, when he and Leia were on a diplomatic mission to Vortex, his shuttle was sabotaged and crashed into the Cathedral of Winds. Unknown to Ackbar, this was part of Caridan Ambassador Furgan's plan to bring down the New Republic from the inside. The destruction of the Cathedral of Winds severely degraded Ackbar's self-confidence, and he resigned his commission with the New Republic. He returned to Calamari to help rebuild what was still unrepaired from the Emperor's attack, and was on the planet when Admiral Daala chose to attack Calamari. He and Leia were able to rally the minimal Calamarian defense, stalemating Daala's attack by recognizing her use of Tarkin's tactics, and held out until help from the New Republic arrived. Ackbar chose to remain on Calamari until Furgan attempted to finalize his plans by kidnapping baby Anakin Solo on Anoth. He then left the planet and arrived at Anoth in time to rescue baby Anakin. This demonstration of the Empire's desperate attempts to regain control of the galaxy helped to crystallize Ackbar's resolve, and brought him out of his self-imposed shell and back into the New Republic's government. He remained a vital asset to the Republic throughout the Black Fleet Crisis and the negotiation of peace with the Empire, but when Borsk Fey'lya was named the New Republic's Chief of State, Ackbar decided to retire from active duty and return to Calamari. Ackbar was kept informed of the progress of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, and used his time to investigate a way to defeat them. As his health flagged, Ackbar was assisted by Winter, who had traveled to Calamari while her husband, Tycho Celchu, rejoined the military. Admiral Traest Kre'fey and a small faction of commanders convinced Ackbar to come out of retirement, and lend their support to the war effort. Ackbar was reinstated to his rank of Admiral, and assisted Admirals Kre'fey and Sovv in developing new tactics to use against the alien invaders. His plans involved the use of dead-end hyperspace routes through the Deep Core, and eventually developed into the tactics used at the Battle of Ebaq. Unfortunately for the New Republic, as well as the fledgling Galactic Alliance, Admiral Ackbar died at his home on Calamari shortly after the abortive Yuuzhan Vong attack on the planet, some five years after their initial invasion.

Ackbar Slash
This desperate starship maneuver was developed by the Alliance's Admiral Ackbar. The slash involved sending your warships directly through the line formed by your opponent's ships, often at top speed. If done correctly, and if the Force was with you, this maneuver resulted in two things. First, any of the opponent's ships who missed your ships actually shot up their own ships. Second, it scattered the opponent's ships, breaking their line. However, if the lead ship in the attack formation took heavy damage, it could impede the progress of the trailing vessels, allowing the enemy to regroup and pin the trailing vessels down. If this occurred, the enemy could fire at will on the trailing vessels, which were left virtually defenseless.

Acklay
This large, crustacean predator was considered vicious by any definition of the term. Originally native to the verdant plains of Vendaxa, the acklay had six legs that ended in a sharp claws, and there were three clawed fingers at each knee joint. The neck of the acklay was protected by a tall, bony crown, and its jaws were filled with sharp teeth, giving it a reptilian appearance. Although their bodies were covered with tough hides, the acklay's stomach could expand to accommodate large meals, which were required because of the creature's high metabolism. However, the distendable stomach area was also the creature's weak point, and the flesh surrounding the stomach was not as tough as the rest of its body. On Vendaxa, acklays naturally hunted during the day, seeking out sleeping lemnai on the land or feeding on fish from the oceans. At night, acklays returned to their nests. Many acklays were exported to other planets, for use in the gladiator arenas as fighting animals. Two notable colonies of acklay were formed due to this exportation, one on Geonosis and one on Felucia. On Geonosis, the main stock of acklay was bred for fighting, but many of these vicious creatures escaped, wiping out entire hives of Geonosians before being hunted down. Those acklay that escaped and survived eked out an existence on the briny shores of the Ebon Sea, where they were slowly mutated by the chemicals that leeched out of the Golbah Pit. These mutant acklays were much larger than their cousins and had black hides, instead of the normal green, allowing them to blend into the surrounding waters. On Felucia, acklays were used as weapons by the Separatists during the Clone Wars. However, the small colony on Felucia was wiped out by the 501st Legion of clone troopers.

This was the only name used to describe one of the most notorious Geonosian slavemasters of the last decades of the Old Republic. A former petranaki fighter, Acklay Chopper nearly died in the arena when an acklay severely injured him. Rather than giving up, he took his picador's spear and drove it through the roof of the acklay's mouth. As the creature crashed to the ground, Acklay Chopper gathered his strength and cleaved the acklay's head from its neck, thus earning his new name. He then presented the head to Hadiss the Vaulted, who named the warrior the fight manager of the arena.

Acquisitor
This Trade Federation freighter was one of the many ships which were refitted with weapons, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, to provide a measure of security from pirates and other attacks. Under the command of Nap Lagard, it was called to rescue the freighter Revenue when the Nebula Front tried to steal its load of lommite. Unfortunately, the Acquisitor arrived too late to save the Revenue.

Acrobat Droid
This was the generic term used to describe any automaton that was programmed to perform intricate feats of acrobatics and tumbling. Acrobat droids came in all sizes, but were most often small, in order to minimize the programming and the number of working parts. The most interesting acrobat droids were no larger than a human hand.
(LF4)
Acros-Krik
This corrupt Ongree served as the mayor of the Uscru District of Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. His election was both sponsored and secured through the influence of Black Sun, and Acros-Krik used his position to acquire important political information to pass on to his benefactors. Although he gained a wealth of information simply because of his position as mayor, Acros-Krik also kept the Nalle sisters on retainer, to gather information from the less reputable sections of the Uscru District. Acros-Krik kept hiis connections to the Baath brothers and to Black Sun hidden behind the façade of a boisterous, fatherly figure of a politician who seemed genuinely concern about the well-being of his constituents, although his benefactors in the Black Sun organization worried that he was simply attracting unwanted attention.

Actinium Bomb
This form of explosive weapon was believed to have been developed by the military forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the height of the Clone Wars. In the wake of the devastation of the planet Caamas, official Imperial reports claimed that the planet had been struck by a group of actinium bombs that had been drifting through the Core Worlds since the end of the war.
(CN2)
Action II Freighter
One of the first freighter models produced in the Action series by Corellian Engineering Corporation. Carib Devist used one to fly to Bothawui, during the build-up of warships following the Caamas Incident. Hidden inside the freighter was a squadron of TIE Interceptors. When Devist's freighter and the Millennium Falcon were caught in the tractor beams of the Tyrannic, Devist detonated the Action II, with a series of explosions that allowed his crew to blast away in the Interceptors. The explosion freed the Millennium Falcon from the tractor beam, allowing them all to return to open space and expose the Tyrannic.
(VOF)
Action IV Freighter
A trapezoidal, medium bulk freighter built by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, the Action IV measures 100 meters in length and can carry 30,000 cubic meters of cargo with a maximum mass of 75,000 metric tons. Its inner holds can be individually adapted to various pressurization and climatic needs. It was sold with no weapons systems and no defensive shielding, but there were plenty of after-market systems which could be fitted to the Action IV's design. They require a dedicated crew of eight, and had no passenger facilities. Note that the Star Wars Adventure Journal, Issue 3 indicates that the Action IV is 110 meters in length, required a crew of ten to operate, and can transport up to 70,000 metric tons of cargo.
(HTTE, SWSB, SWJ3, SOG)
Action Tidings
This was one of the many species-specific newsfeeds available to the inhabitants of Cloud City, in orbit around the gas giant Bespin. Action Tidings was produced by and for the Ugnaughts who worked in the city during the height of the Galactic Civil War, although the corporate headquarters and primary studuio facilities were located in a tower in the city of Ugnorgrad, on the Ugnaught Surface. Its most popular anchorbeing was Ars Fivvle, whose holodocumentary Ugnaughts' Progress was distributed across the galaxy.
(MC57, PH)
Action V Transport
Another starship in the popular Corellian Engineering Corporation Action series, the Action V measured 115 meters in length. It required a crew of 10 to operate, and could hold up to 80,500 metric tons of cargo. In its stock form it was unarmed, and had minimal shielding.
(DFRSB)
Action VI Transport
Another medium bulk freighter built by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, the Action VI measured 125 meters in length and could carry up to 90,000 metric tons. This cargo capacity was the ship's primary selling point, however. In its stock configuration, the Action VI freighter had no weapons systems and minimal defensive shielding. It required a dedicated crew of ten to operate, and had no passenger facilities. Because of the fact that the stock configuration was so minimal, very few Action VI Transports found in use remained that way. Most owners added improved defensive capabilities, including shields and weapons.

ActionWorld
This was one of the many tourist destinations that were constructed in the oceans of Dorumaa, during the decades leading up to the Clone Wars. Located about nine kilometers south of Tropix island, ActionWorld catered to the adventurous nature of its patrons. However, despite its name, the resort was equipped with a vast array of safety measures that protected its patrons from unnecessary injury. About fifteen months after the Battle of Geonosis, a large portion of ActionWorld's facilities were badly damaged when an underwater explosion created a sinkhole in the center of its location. Unknown to the owners, ActionWorld sat above the secret cloning laboratory that was established on Dorumaa by Ko Sai. When the Kaminoan was captured by Kal Skirata and Mereel, they destroyed the lab in order to prevent others from locating Ko Sai's research.

Acton, Beel
A native of Brentaal, Beel Acton grew up in a life of luxury during the final decades of the Old Republic. His mother died when he was young, and his father was a businessman who was rarely at home. He left Beel to be cared for by a dedicated nanny, but Beel was given free rein to do as he pleased. Despite getting good grades in school, he was known as a bully. However, as mean as he could be, he found that people still liked him. This strange "talent" was later identified as a connection to the Force by a Jedi Master who visited Brentaal. Rather than embracing this new development, Beel spit in the Jedi's face and spurned his offer for further training. Shortly afterward, Beel's father was badly injured in an accident. Rather than spend the family fortune on hospital care, Beel used his connection to the Force to end his father's life. He then took his inheritance set out to tour the Core Worlds, using his strength of will and his Force sensitivity to betray, ruin, and swindle beings he deemed weaker than he was. Although Beel was considered a wanton criminal, many law enforcement agents were silently relieved that he never used his powers for anything beyond his own personal gratification. During his travels, Beel eventually discovered the teachings of the ancient Sith, and adapted them to his own needs.

A'Daasha, Corinna
A native of the planet Corellia, Corinna and her twin sister, Kandria, grew up in a wealthy family and never had to struggle to attain anything. Corinna, unlike her sister, grew bored and restless in this existence, and used some of her inheritance to travel among the stars. However, despite the freedom and adventure she experienced, Corinna felt somehow unhappy without Kandria. When Kandria left Corellia to join her, Corinna's spirits immediately rose. The pair eventually settled on Adarlon - Kandria's choice, to which Corinna, quickly agreed - and they established the Glow Dome complex. Corinna often tended bar herself, using a portable holoprojection unit to alter her appearance. She was also sympathetic to the Alliance, having witnessed the news reports brought in by the underground unit No-Holds-Barred. Her attachment to the Alliance provided a sense of security and purpose, something which was missing in her childhood.

She decided that she couldn't be without Corinna, and decided to join her in her travels. The pair eventually settled on Adarlon - Kandria's choice, to which Corinna, quickly agreed - and they established the Glow Dome complex. Shortly after the business took off, Kandria became withdrawn and moody, and it was later learned that she had been possessed by the Derriphan known as Ziakas.

(DFR)
Adamant
A New Republic bulk cruiser that was captured by Qorl over Coruscant. The ship was loaded with armaments and hyperdrive components, which Brakiss and the leaders of the Shadow Academy needed to help shore up the new Imperial Navy. It was on its way to Kuat, but was being inspected by Admiral Ackbar at the time. Qorl's forces disabled the ship's weapons and communications, but left its shields and engines operational. The ship was towed to the Shadow Academy, which was cloaked within Coruscant's system. Note that Jedi Under Siege claims the Adamant was attacked by the Shadow Academy at Kashyyyk. The Second Imperium used the hyperdrive cores and turbolaser batteries from the ship, as well as New Republic shield codes, to outfit their own ships. The resulting confusion allowed the Second Imperium to skip inside Republic defenses, until Ackbar used the shield codes against them and dropped all their shields. The Imperium's fleet was then decimated by Republic cruisers.

Adannon, Alric
This noble of House Cadriaan placed second during the Vor-cal hunt which took place shortly after the Battle of Hoth. He was not chosen to represent Cadriaan at the Vor-cal shortly before the Battle of Endor, however, since Cadriaan had employed a team of Alliance agents to infiltrate the hunt and discover the motives of House Melantha. Adannon was livid at being passed over, and decided to set out for Vilhon on his own in order to take matters into his own hands. He was known as a loud, arrogant man with a fiery temper, but he was nevertheless loyal to House Cadriaan. During the hunt, it was learned that Adannon used a contact within Boss Tosk's organization to obtain access to Vilhon, a fact that doomed his political career and earned him the wrath of Boss Tosk.

Adaptogen
This was the term used to describe any form of medicine or drug that induced different reactions in the bodies of different races or species. Depending on the drug and the species, an adaptogen might serve as an antibiotic, a narcotic, or a hallucinogen. One example of an adaptogen was the extract from the bota plant, which was found only on the planet Drongar. Bota was considered a wonder drug because it was a powerful antibiotic to humans and certain near-human races, while it had a narcotic on Neimoidians, and a psychedelic effect on Hutts.

This Imperial Prefect controlled the planet Denevar during the Galactic Civil War. He accused Reson Nath of a variety of crimes, including abetting a known criminal and conspiring against him. The trial was presided over by Janq Paramexor, and overseen by Moff Gorliz. As was often the case in respect to the various guilds sanctioned by the Empire, Nath was subject to the rules of the Paramexor Guild of Hunters. Her punishment was to face her accuser in armed combat. Adar, a thin man without much physical training, realized that he would be killed in combat against Nath, and withdrew the charges. However, Moff Gorliz had already placed a bet with Janq Paramexor that Adar would last at least ten minutes in the battle, and ordered them to begin combat.

Adar
This winged reptile evolved on the hostile world of Omiddelon III. Individuals could grow to lengths reaching three meters, and they hunted in large packs. Adars had long, scaled bodies which had a row of short spines along the dorsal ridge. Their heads resembled scorpions, with a flat skull surrounded by a pair of strong mandibles. Adars have high metabolisms, and stored water and food in their tails. When food was scarce and their internal reserves were too low to sustain activity, adars could go into a trance-like state and wait for prey to come to them.

Adarakh
This male Noghri served as Leia Organa Solo's bodyguard, during the period following the Battle of Duro. In the confusion that ensued when Coruscant was attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong, Adarakh and Meewalh tried to ensure that the Solos, along with the infant Ben Skywalker, reached the Millennium Falcon safely. They were fooled, along with the Solos, by the appearance of Welda and Tarc. When the combat droid YVH 1-507A revealed that Welda was actually Viqi Shesh, the rogue Senator lashed out with a powershiv and stabbed Adarakh in the ribs. The weapon punctured his heart, killing the Noghri almost instantly. Adarakh died bravely, giving the Solos a chance to escape the planet.

Adare, Terena
This woman served as the chief administrator of the planet Dantooine, during the years following the Great Sith War. When the planet was virtually abandoned by the Old Republic after Darth Malak destroyed the Jedi enclave on Dantooine, Administrator Adare was faced with economic disaster until she opened up the planet to treasure-seekers and archaeologists who wanted to sift through the ruins. While these opportunists brought credits to Dantooine, they also caused many problems for the planet's native population. Among the worst of the mercenaries who arrived on Dantooine was Azkul, and it was Azkul who later killed Administrator Adare in cold blood, in order to goad The Exile into battle.

(GG12)
Adarian
An alien race native to the planet Adari, the Adarians were humanoids with unusual cranial structures. Their skulls were elongated and tall, and had a large hole which goes completely through it. They had no ears or noses, and their mouth was ringed with sharp, bony ridges instead of lips. The Adarians made up for the lack of ears with a covering of fine hairs along their skulls that picked up the vibration of sound waves. A series of glands near the skin's surface allowed them to smell. Their throats could be distended and filled with air, and the resulting "long call" was useful as a communication method or a kind of defensive action.
The Adarians had a rigid caste system that dominated their society, forcing individuals into specific tiers and enforcing a strict set of customs and laws that governed the interaction between individuals of different tiers. The Adarians also developed an advanced technology based on the use of super-cooled carbon-ice computers. They were able to remain neutral during the Galactic Civil War by signing a non-agression treaty with the Empire, providing the Empire with unlimited raw materials in return for their neutrality.

Adarlon
This planet, located in the Minos Cluster, functioned as the Cluster's entertainment destination. By itself, Adarlon was a rugged, mountainous world originally settled by a group of Old Republic altruists - many from Alderaan - for its beauty rather than its resources. They were particularly well-funded, and their society grew into one of entertainment rather than survival. It was on Adarlon that the holographic medium was developed as an entertainment staple, and music from the planet was also highly sophisticated. Its primary industry was centered around tourism, and its temperate climate was well-suited to the various resorts and parks which operated there. Adarlon had a day which lasted 21 standard hours, and a year which lasted 381 local days. Adarlon was also the home to one of the most famous opera companies in the galaxy, and the famous opera singer Neile Janna was a native of Adarloon.
(GG6, SWJ5)
Adas
This ancient Sith King was the gatekeeper of the Sith holocron that was used by the corrupted leaders of Onderon, during the era of the Great Sith War. King Adas was a huge being who had used the power of the Dark Side of the Force to conquer his homeworld some 3,000 years before the formation of the Old Republic. Sith scholars of the period believed that Adas created the holocron more as a testament to his achievements than as a teaching device. Adas was considered a chosen being as a youth, as his skin was the color of charcoal, rather than the reddish pigment of other Sith. He developed incredible skills as a warrior and leader, and his connection to the Force was unparalleled. His conquests in battle helped to unify the various tribes of Sith on Korriban, and he ruled for nearly 300 years, making the Sith people believe that he was immortal.
His rule, however, was not forever, as he was forced to sacrifice his own life to keep his people from being enslaved by Rakatan invaders. However, his unwavering loyalty to the Sith people during the fighting earned him the title of Sith'ari, the being who would first destroy the Sith and then rebuild them. Among the many technologies King Adas acquired from the Rakata was the ability to create a holocron. In the wake of Adas' death, the Sith people again reverted to their warlike ways, with the various tribes re-establishing themselves and waging war for control of the planet.
Many years later, King Adas's Holocron was turned over to The Exiles, who used it to augment their own control over the Dark Side of the Force and rule the Sith people. The holocron was eventually lost on Ashas Ree after the death of Lord Garu, until it was recovered there by Freedon Nadd. After Nadd was defeated on Onderon, the holocron was taken to Kodai and thrown into the sea.

Adasca
This family of Arkanian Purebloods was perhaps the most important of all Arkanian families, during the decades following the Great Sith War. The Adasca family founded both the Adascorp company and the city of Adascopolis, and established some of the galaxy's most pre-eminent hospital facilities. Although they were Purebloods, the Adascas were among the few such Arkanians who appeared to genuinely care about the plight of the Arkanian Offshoots.
(KOR5)
Adasca, Alok
This Arkanian noble was the seventh Lord Adasca, the son of Argaloh Adasca and the father of Arkoh Adasca. Lord Alok held a huge party for Barrison Draay, after he was promoted to the level of Jedi Knight, hoping to maintain the Draay family's wealth as a prominent investor in the Adascorp business. Draay had been recently been married to Krynda Hulis, and Alok feared that the Jedi Order would curtail Barrison's ability to continuing funding his business. Barrison tried to allay his fears, describing the Draay Trust that would legally separate his family's wealth from the Jedi Order.
(KORH, KOR10)
Adasca, Argaloh
This Arkanian noble was the sixth Lord Adasca, and controlled the operations of Adascorp during the years following the Great Sith War. Although he was initially unable to understand the development of the exogorths by Gorman Vandrayk, Lord Adasca soon recognized the potential of the creatures. He criticized Vandrayk for being shortsighted in his projections, since the Offshoot only saw the exogorths' ability to assist in the refinement of ores and minerals. Lord Adasca saw the political and military possibilities of the exogorths, and took control of the project. His harsh words and cruel intentions drove Vandrayk to abandon his research, putting the entire exogorth project on hold for nearly sixty years, until Vandrayk was located by Lord Arkoh Adasca.
(KOR6)
Adasca, Arkoh
This Arkanian noble ruled Adascopolis and controlled Adascorp, some 3,963 years before the Battle of Yavin. The eighth Lord Adasca, Arkoh was the grandson of the Arkanian noble who had created the Arkanian Legacy, and he carried on the family legacy with grim determination. An immense hologram of Lord Adasca was located at the entrance to Adascopolis, welcoming visitors to the city. Outwardly, Lord Adasca seemed to shed the cultural and social biases of his forefathers, diverting corporate resources and facilities aboard the Arkanian Legacy to finding ways to improve the lives of the Arkanian Offshoots.
Thus, when Jarael arrrived on Arkania in search of medical help for The Camper, Lord Adasca openly agreed to place his resources are her disposal. However, he kept the two Offshoots separated, with Jarael believing that The Camper was in a coma and receiving treatment under the watchful eyes of Eejee Vamm. In reality, Adasca had been searching for The Camper for years, scouring the communications and security networks for news of his presence. When the Offshoots were located on Ralltiir, Lord Adasca set in motion his plan to bring The Camper back to Arkania.
His plans were furthered when Jarael brought The Camper to Arkania herself. While Adasca kept her happy, he forced The Camper to take up the work he had abandoned at Adascorp years before - which been used to create Project Black Harvest - using Jarael's safety as the price of The Camper's efforts. In parallel, Adasca had Eejee Vamm dig into Jarael's past, in an effort to learn more about the woman. Adasca also took advantage of the presence of Rohlan Dyre, coercing the Mandalorian to send a message to the Mandalore - while simultaneously sending the same message to Admiral Saul Karath of the Old Republic Navy - in exchange for the freedom of Rohlan and Jarael.
In the meantime, Lord Adasca continued to play the role of the gracious host, serving a fine dinner for Jarael while explaining that he was trying to overcome his grandfather's legacy and actually try to help the Arkanian Offshoots gain their proper place in Arkanian society. He then explained that he thought the Arkanian race could be restored with her help, revealing that a blood sample taken from her had shown children could have the genetics of an Arkanian Purebloods if she agreed to take a simple vaccine.
All of this was part of Adasca's plan to keep Jarael from interfering with his ultimate plan: the sale of a group of specially-bred exogorths to either the Old Republic or the Mandalorians, depending on which party paid the highest price. The messages Adasca had sent out invited Karath and the Mandalore, as well as the Revanchist leader, to Omonoth to view the exogorths. Adasca then demanded to be recognized not as a successful businessbeing, but as a major galactic power. While Karath offered him a seat in the Galactic Senate, the Mandalore offered him a partnership in which the Mandalorians fought for the Arkanians, while the Arkanians provided modern weaponry to their soldiers.
Visions of power and wealth ran through Adasca's mind as the two sides struggled to come up with more and more to offer, but his dreams were shattered when Zayne Carrick and Carth Onasi disrupted the negotiations. Carrick and Lucien Draay then drew their lightsabers and threatened to capture the Mandalore, inciting a battle in the observation lounge of the Arkanian Legacy that drew Adasca's attention to The Camper's plan to set the exogorths free before removing them to a far corner of the galaxy. However, before he fled, The Camper ordered the exogorths to attack the Arkanian Legacy, crashing through the domes of the observation deck and venting to the vacuum of space. It was unknown if Arkoh Adasca survived the attack, and the Arkanian Legacy was left adrift.

Adasca Affair
This was the term used by Lucien Draay and subsequent historians to describe the events that surrounded Lord Arkoh Adasca's attempt to assume control of the galaxy by creating a military for of exogorths that could destroy entire star systems. Lord Adasca, operating from the massive flagship Arkanian Legacy, hoped to sell his exogorths to the highest bidder, during the Mandalorian Wars. With the wealth he obtained from the sale, Lord Adasca believed that he could become the wealthiest and most powerful being the galaxy. However, the Arkanian Offshoot known as The Camper, who was actually Gorman Vandrayk, sabotaged the exogorth project. He commanded the exogorths to attack the Arkanian Legacy and render it a useles hulk, before escaping into hyperspace in order to prevent the exogorths from spreading. It was believed that Lord Adasca died in the attack, and former Jedi Padawan Zayne Carrick and Alek Squinquargesimus were both implicated in the destructive events.

Adascorp
This was more common name of the Adasca BioMechanical Corporation of Arkania. Adascorp was one of the many large corporations that formed the consortium of investors and supporters that created the planetary bank on Telerath, more than 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. Based in the city of Adascopolis, on the planet Arkania, Adascorp was a medical conglomerate that was formed by the Adasca family, and was noted throughout the galaxy for its bioengineering and materials processing operations.
It was later discovered that Adascorp had been bugging the communcations and security networks on the planets where it had a corporate presence, in an effort to locate The Camper.

(OWS)
Adegan Crystals
Similar in many respects to Ilum crystals, these minerals emitted powerful bursts of light when induced by resonant frequencies. This trait made them the most common crystals used to construct lightsabers by the ancient Jedi Knights. The most common Adegan crystal was kathracite, but it was also the least powerful of the Adegan varieties and tended to explode under stress. This meant that it was only used in low-power training lightsabers. Interestingly, as the crystal forms became less common, they also became more powerful. After kathracite, there were relacite, danite, mephite, and pontite crystal forms, each more powerful than the previous. Unlike Ilum crystals, which produced only blue and green lightsaber blades, Adegan crystals created a wide range of blade colors, including purple, gold, and pearlescent. Synthetic versions of the various Adegan crystals were eventually produced, but were less powerful than their natural counterparts.
During the chaotic months that followed the Clone Wars, Emperor Palpatine moved quickly to ensure that any surviving Jedi Knights were unable to locate Adegan crystals for their lightsabers. All trade and commerce involving Adegan crystals, as well as crystals from Ilum and Corusca gems, was placed under strict interdiction.

A'den
This Mando'a word translated into Basic as "rage" or "wrath."
(OWS)
A'den
This Senior Clone Commander, officially designated CT-80/88-3009, was in command of the 7th Legion of the Grand Army of the Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. A'den was one of the so-called Null-class ARC Troopers, produced as part of an experiment by Ko Sai and later trained by Kal Skirata. Like Skirata, A'den chose to regain a non-commissioned officer in the GAR, and never sought to advance beyond the rank of Sergeant. Sergeant A'den was assigned to search for the renegade ARC Trooper A-30, also known as Sull, when the trooper was reported missing by the local militia on Gaftikar. When Sull was not initially located, Sergeant A'den was forced to take over Sull's duties in training the local militia to find back against the Separatists.
Although Omega Squad was able to capture Sull and bring him in for questioning, A'den eventually let the ARC go. He then expained that their official report would list Sull as having died in an unspecified accident, and his body was too decomposed to recover. A'den kept Sull's armor as "proof" of the fact that they were able to find him in the first place. When Niner openly questioned the act of setting Sull free, A'den refused to get into a debate with the other Niners. A'den was of the opinion that all soldiers, but especially clones, were considered expendable by the leaders of the Republic, but those few who actually could think for themselves needed a chance to survive beyond the war. Shortly before the First Battle of Coruscant, Skirata invoked the gai bal manda and formally adopted A'den and his fellow ARC Troopers as his sons. In the chaos that followed the battle, A'den was placed in charge of ensuring that Skirata was able to escape from Coruscant and bring his clones to Mandalore. Skirata had to be stunned by Jaller Obrim when he tried to remain on the planet to avenge the death of Etain Tur-Mukan, and A'den was forced to help Ordo and Corr transport his unconscious body to their escape vessel. As they fled Coruscant, A'den was directed by Ny Vollen to recover the troopers of Yayax Squad, and he brought them all to Mandalore.

This Yuvernian male was a gifted pilot who once boasted to Jabba the Hutt that he had explored every uncharted planet in the galaxy. Adiss had learned the pilot's trade from Kal'falnl C'ndros, after the Quor'sav trader took on Adiss as an apprentice after a stopover on Yuvern. When he discovered that the cost of buying his own starship was quite steep, Adiss made his boast to Jabba in an effort to take on as much lucrative work as he could to earn credits. Jabba got a good laugh out of Adiss' claims, and agreed to hire the Yuvernian for a mission. Adiss was angry when he discovered that the mission was the transport of a load of spice to his homeworld of Yuvern, but his anger turned to fear when he was boarded by Imperial forces upon entering the Yuvern System. Adiss was ordered to Harrod's Planet by the Imperials who came aboard, but their desire to avoid the battle in the Oplovis Sector made their investigation of the ship perfunctory at best. With his load of spice still undiscovered, Adiss was allowed to go free, and agreed report back to the Empire on any rebellious activity he discovered in the Outer Rim. Adiss returned to Tatooine after delivering the spice, and was awaiting his next assignment from Jabba when the crimelord was killed by Leia Organa. Adiss was aboard the Hutt's sail barge when it exploded, and killed almost instantly..

Admiral Ackbar
This was one of two Galactic Alliance Star Destroyers to survive the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy with their gravity-well generators intact. It was also the flagship of the Fifth Fleet, and was commanded by Admiral Nek Bwua'tu, during the years following the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong.
The Admiral Ackbar was paired with the other gravity-projecting vessel, the Mon Mothma, in the blockade of the Utegetu Nebula about a year after the Qoribu Crisis, in an effort to prevent the Gorog hive from expanding beyond the nebula's boundaries. Although the fleet was well-prepared, the sudden suicide attack by UnuThul's frigate left the crew of the Admiral Ackbar at their mercy. Admiral Bwua'tu was forced to call for the ship to be abandoned, and the Killiks made off with the vessel. However, the Galactic Alliance's blockade was successful enough to keep the Gorog nest ship and ten others within the Utegetu Nebula.
The Chiss accused the Galactic Alliance of simply turning the Admiral Ackbar over to the Colony, and refused to believe that the Killiks had actually captured the vessel, after it attacked a Chiss fortress on Snevu. With the Star Destroyer serving as the flagship of their navy, the Unu hive led the Colony into a massive battle with the Chiss at Tenupe, where both sides expended huge numbers of personnel and ordnance in a sluggish struggle for control. UnuThul commanded the battle from the bridge of the massive ship, until he found himself under attack by Jedi Master Luke Skywalker and the YVH 5-S Bungcruncher droids of Task Force Stomper.

A native of the planet Corsin, this young girl was the Padawan learner who had been chosen by Jedi Master Anno Wen-Chii, during the years following the Battle of Ruusan. Nalia accompanied her Master to the planet Polus, where Master Anno spent his time studying the native species and hoping to learn more about how life evolved in the galaxy. Nalia's absence from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant allowed the Sith apprentice Zannah to adopt her identity, some ten years after the Battle of Ruusan, on a mission to infiltrate the Jedi Archives and find a way to remove the orbalisks that covered the body of her Master, Darth Bane. As Nalia, Zannah explained that Master Anno needed her to research parasitic organisms in the Archives, since Anno himself was unwilling to leave his research behind. The Jedi Order found this story plausible, and gave Zannah access to the more public sections of the Archives. In this way, she discovered the writings of Doctor Osaf Hamud, and learned that it was possible to safely remove the orbalisks.

Aduba-3 was the third planet in the Aduba System, located in the Outer Rim. It was orbited by a single moon, and was originally settled as an agricultural world. Despite its arid appearance, Aduba-3's plains were fed by arterial rivers that snaked through the planet's crust. However, after it was rumored to have rich and widely-distributed lodes of chromium, Aduba-3 experienced a boom in population that rendered much of its landscape a dusty wasteland. These rumors turned out to be false, the product of several greedy schemers who seeded existing mines with chromium deposits. Because of this deceipt - which many later attributed to the Tenloss Syndicate - many spacers chose to avoid the planet altogether, as a reminder of its troublesome past. It orbited a fourth-class yellow sun, and was one of many planets throughout the galaxy with a native population of banthas. Han Solo, Jaxxon, and a group of adventurers liberated a village on this planet in the months following the Battle of Yavin. The village was being held by Serji-X Arrogantus.

Adumar
This remote world, located on the inner edge of Wild Space, was colonized some 10,000 years before the Battle of Yavin by separatists who had rebelled against the Old Republic. They had been defeated by the Republic's forces, and given the option of death or resettlement. They chose to be resettled, opting to take their chances on a remote planet rather than be executed.
The separatists evolved outside the mainstream of galactic growth for millennia, until they were contacted by the New Republic some 8 years after the Battle of Endor. The human natives of the planet, who call themselves the Adumari, developed a complex social structure which was based on personal honor and triumph over one's enemies. The primary industries of the planet were based on the production of war materiel, and they were skilled in the manufacture of proton torpedoes. They lacked a world government when a New Republic mapping ship accidentally found the planet and first contacted them, but the Adumari quickly learned that the Republic was not the only power in the galaxy.
The perator of Cartann, Pekaelic ke Teldan, offered both the remnants of the Empire and the New Republic the chance to prove themselves and earn the alliance of Adumar in what basically became a popularity contest between Wedge Antilles and Turr Phennir. The perator himself was eventually ousted in favor of his son, who was more receptive to creating a democratic world government, where his father had wanted a government controlled by Cartann leaders. In the end, Adumar welcomed the New Republic and became a member world.
The relationship lasted several decades, until the Corellia-GA War sparked a sense of independence in the Adumari natives. Eventually, Adumar joined the so-called Corellian Confederacy, providing the planet's munitions manufacturing capacity to the Corellian rebels.

Adumari
This was the name used by the human inhabitants of the planet Adumar. The descendants of a group of people who rebelled against the Old Republic and were defeated some 10,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, the Adumari continued to be a rebellious society even after they settled the planet. Their records indicated that there had been at least two huge wars which reduced the people to barbarism, but their tenacious nature had brought them back each time. They had a complex social structure which was based on personal honor and triumph over one's enemies. Any Adumari could challenge another Adumari in armed combat, which was usually fought to the death unless the victor chose to lessen the prestige of his victory. Combat was the primary sport in Adumari society, with contests in ground-based combat and aerial dogfighting. The techniques developed by the Adumari were crude by modern galactic standards, since there were very few battles that involved more than two participants, and each was usually fighting for prestige rather than learning from past mistakes. As a people, though, the Adumari were known as hard-working, industrious people who developed sophisticated manufacturing facilities. What was considered unusual was that, despite their obsession with fightercraft, the Adumari never re-developed any form of space travel, a circumstance attributed to their unique society. When the Adumari were contacted by the New Republic and urged to form a world government, the perator of Cartann, Pekaelic ke Teldan, was approached first, since Cartann seemed to be the strongest of the existing city-states. However, the perator took it upon himself to ingratiate himself with the diplomats, in an effort to beat his rivals to the punch and become the planetary ruler. However, this Cartann-based government was met with opposition from several other nations, including the Yedagonian Confederacy and Halbegardia. In the end, it was discovered that the New Republic diplomat to Adumar, Tomer Darpen, was leading the Cartann leadership down a path he had chosen, rather than forming a democratic planetary government. The perator of Cartann opted to retire rather than be executed, and abdicated the throne to his son. A more representative world government was formed, and the Adumari elected to join the New Republic.

Adumari Union
This was the name of the world government envisioned by Escalion, perator of Yedagon, for the planet Adumar. It was endorsed by the perators of Halbegardia, Thozzelling, and Tetanne, and they offered the nation of Cartann - under the leadership of a new perator, Balass ke Teldan - a chance to join it and help create its laws and policies. The Adumari Union was eventually admitted to the New Republic.

This was the name given to the specially-trained, ground assault units of the Grand Army of the Republic. These clone troopers, known as ARF Troopers, were similar in training to Advanced Reconnaissance Commandos, or ARC Troopers.
(CWTV)
Advanced Reconnaissance Clone Trooper
Known as an ARC Trooper or an Advanced Reconnaissance Commando, this was the term used to describe an elite soldier created from the genetic material of Jango Fett, cloned by the Kaminoans at the order of Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. The Kaminoans had reservations about the ability of the Jedi Order to provide enough leaders for millions of clone troopers, so the ARC Trooper was developed to fill any possible voids. The ARC trooper had greater independence and adaptability than the standard clone trooper, and were often used in small groups for highly-sensitive missions. Jango himself had described the training program for the ARC Troopers, and was able to bypass the Kaminoans and instill his own orders into their training.
Primary among these personal orders was directive to destroy all immature clones in the event that the Separatists attacked Kamino. Jango's final orders were that the young clones were to serve the Republic, or to die before they fell into enemy hands. The initial batch of ARC Troopers became known as the Null-class, and consisted of twelve individual clones that were developed from Jango's pure genetic stock. Only six survived to maturity, and were considered too unpredictable to maintain. The next generation became known as the Alpha-class, and consisted of the first 100 ARC Trooper. The ARCs were trained to be exceptionally strong and durable, with stamina that would amaze any race. The ability to recover from physical exertion was programmed into their training, with the ability to drop into various levels of rest to meet the individual needs of a trooper's body. They could even sleep on the march. The basic training of an ARC trooper was geared toward sending them out on solo missions, although they were often trained in small groups to minimize the time required to get them trained.
The independence of the ARC troopers, however, made them somewhat unpredictable in battle. For this reason, the Kaminoans kept the ARC Troopers in stasis tubes until it was absolutely necessary to use them. Among the traits retained from Jango's original genes were several pieces of his memory; most prominently, the ARC Troopers retained a measure of disdain for the Jedi Knights. About fifteen months after the Battle of Geonosis, another side effect of the independent nature of an ARC Trooper came to light. Many of these soldiers were defecting from their units in protest over the way that clones were treated by the Old Republic. It was feared that these defectors would use their training and skills to seriously undermine the efforts of the Republic, or even join the Separatists and provide intelligence on the Republic's armed forces. Thus, several clone commando units of the Grand Army of the Republic were assigned to locate and capture these rogue ARCs.
In order to forestall further defections, Chancellor Palpatine publically announced that retired ARC Troopers were to become the instructors for the next generation of soldiers.

Advozsec
An alien race characterized by their short stature, large black eyes, and enlarged cranium, the Advozsec were native to the planet Riflor. Their skulls were punctuated by a short, thick horn which protruded from the center of their forehead. Their ears were short and pointed, and grew close to the skull. Despite the inhosptiable nature of Riflor's environment, the Advozsec managed to evolve and grow as a species and as a civilization. Their large eyes allowed them to see in the murky light. Riflor's constant tectonic activity instilled a sense of skepticism and pessimism, as the Advozsec cities were continually being rebuilt after natural disasters. A herbivorous race, the Advozsec were known to become violently ill should they consume any form of animal protein. Their technology mirrored that found in much of the galaxy, although they tended to build it on a smaller, more transportable scale. The basic tenet of Advozsec society was simple: plan for the worst, control all posssible variables, and survive. The Advozsec first made contact with the Old Republic some 10,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, after their first attempts at hyperspace travel brought them to the attention of explorers. Millennia later, Riflor was destroyed by a Yuuzhan Vong bio-virus that killed the planet's plantlife. This left millions of Advozsec to starve to death. Only those Advozsec who were offworld at the time, as well as the Bomminde fammily of Tejrivozs, managed to survive.

Aethersprite-class Delta-7 Light Interceptor
This wedge-shaped fighter craft was developed and manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards, some twenty-two years before the Battle of Yavin. Measuring eight meters in length and having a wingspan of 3.92 meters, the Aethersprite was created from the original designs of Adi Gallia by a design team led by Walex Blissex. The ship required an astromech droid to assist the pilot, but its limited size demanded that the astromech be stripped down in order to be hard-wired into the ship's systems. These craft were ordered through the office of the Supreme Chancellor himself, and were distributed solely to pilots among the Jedi Knights. Because these ships became synonymous with the Jedi, they were only used in over missions.
The original Aethersprite design lacked a hyperdrive, requiring it to be transported through hyperspace with the help of a booster craft or hyperdrive ring. Later models were equipped with a Class 3 hyperdrive unit. In order to calculate hyperspace trajectories and to handle other systems, the Aethersprite-class interceptor was equipped with an R4-P astromech droid. The Aethersprite was a single-passenger vehicle that could accommodate sixty kilograms of cargo, and was capable of speeds of 12,000 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. The Aethersprite was armed with a pair of dual laser cannons mounted just below and behind the nose of the ship.
As the Clone Wars ground on, Anakin Skywalker stripped his own Delta-7 down and removed the main powerplant, modifying it to accept the engines from the TransGalMeg Syliure-31 hyperdrive ring. This new ship, with the huge hyperdrives mounted at the front of the ship, was painted in bold colors and bore a striking resemblance to the podrace Anakin once flew to win the Boonta Eve Classic. Despite its technologically-advanced design, the Aethersprite and the entire Delta line was dropped from KDY's repertoire when Emperor Palpatine chose them for the construction of Star Destroyers. All design and manufacturing information on the Delta fighters was sold to Sienar Fleet Systems about ten years after the Battle of Geonosis.

A veteran of the Clone Wars, Captain Afyon was off-planet when Alderaan was destroyed, and vowed to make the Empire pay for its crimes. He signed up with the Alliance as a first officer on a gunship, and worked his way up to Captain. He was somewhat disgruntled by the apparent lack of recognition he and his companion starship commanders were receiving, while the pilots of the snub fighters seem to get all the glory. These feelings had begun during the Clone Wars, when the Jedi Knights and their clone pilots received frequent mention in the holomedia. Afyon was also one of the growing number of military officers who had shed their loyalty to Admiral Ackbar, and had thrown their support to Borsk Fey'lya.

A pair of AG-2G batteries was installed by Han Solo aboard the Millennium Falcon. The cannons could be configured to fire singly, in pairs, or all at once, depending on the desired power level of each blast and the recycle time required between shots.
At the height of the New Order, any civilian discovered to have this type of weapon installed on their starship was considered in violation of several major laws. Possession of the AG-2G carried a minimum three-year prison sentence, but may independent spacers figured the risk of actually being arrested was far outweighed by the protection offered by having them available for defense.
(RASB, EGW, A)
Aga
A semi-sentient race of huge, lumbering predators native to Zelos II, the aga had thick, gray skin, yellow eyes, and six muscular legs. The front two legs can be used as arms in battle. They average four meters at the shoulder, and were formidable beasts. They attack by first issuing a terrible screech which immobilizes its prey, then they lash out with their front two arms. The aga were used by Emperor Palpatine to allow stormtroopers to perform highly-secret tasks. Palpatine had the aga drugged until they began hallucinating, then made the greatest fears permanent with the Dark Side of the Force. The aga, much like cidwen and avogwi, were then used as guards. They viciously attacked anything or anybody that came near them.
(COJ, PG2)
Agamar
This planet, located in the Lahara Sector of the Outer Rim Territories, was the home of Keyan Farlander. Just before the onset of the Clone Wars, Agamar seceded from the Old Republic, along with the rest of the Lahara Sector. It was the site of an Imperial invasion during the early years of Palpatine's reign as Emperor. Mon Mothma visited there following the Ghorman Massacre, in an effort to help the Agamarians understand Palpatine's evil. Later, it was the site of a hidden Alliance base, early in the Galactic Civil War. The natives of the planet were known to be rough-hewn farmers known for their stubbornness. During the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Agamar served as a stopping point for refugees fleeing the Outer Rim worlds under attack. This support was given after Leia Organa Solo and Danni Quee pleaded with the planetary leaders for support. As the Yuuzhan Vong stepped up their invasion, Agamar remained a pathway to freedom for those Outer Rim worlds which were attacked. However, when the Yuuzhan Vong learned of the effects of bafforr tree pollen on their vonduun crab armor, they overran Agamar in an effort to extend their control to Ithor.

This alien race was native to the harsh, volcanic planet Kuras III. The Aganof were a species of large, plant-like beings which lacked true sexes. They had a number of small appendages that were used for locomotion, and another set of appendages for sensory input. A row of heat-dissipating flaps and olfactory stalks lined their dorsal region, with small mouths below each flap used to capture small creatures that were attracted to the flaps. Each end of their bodies ends in a jointed limb which was tipped with a sharp claw. They lived in the caves of Kuras III, and survived without the senses of sight and hearing. These beings spent much of their free time engaged in philosophical debates and intellectual arguments, using vibrations and scents to relay their ideas. They had little concept of an alien species, and knew nothing of the Galactic Civil War.

(SWI65)
Agao Range
This range of dormant volcanos was located on the planet Bassadro. Most of the mountains and their foothills were formed of obsidian, the result of ancient eruptions and lava flows. This made travel through the Agao Range difficult, since it was easy to slip on the glassy surface, and shards of obsidian cut like knives through flesh and bone.
(SWI65)

(SWJ10)
Agapos the Ninth
This Sunesi was the son of Agapos the Eighth, Agapos was a gifted child with some sensitivity to the Force. As his talent grew, Agapos became able to heal others with a touch. He believed that his ability was simply the workings of the Maker, and that he himself was simply a conduit. When his father retired from leading the Sunesi people, Agapos the Ninth took over and began focusing their attentions on the Empire, rather than on their tribal disputes. His outspoken protest of the Empire's mining of cirrifog helped to unite the Sunesi, and the death mark imposed by the Empire made him even more respected. He was forced into hiding, though, when bounty hunters began searching for him. One pair of hunters, Chenlambec and Tinian I'att, finally managed to capture him. Chen's plan was to get him off Monor II in order to alleviate some of the Imperial pressure on the Sunesi, and to help keep Agapos alive. His teachings and writing had become popular among the worlds of the Alliance, and his philosophy was well regarded. Daye Azur-Jamin managed to meet up with Agapos on Treka Point, where Agapos told the young man that he needed to find Tinian I'att and let her know he was still alive.

The pair managed to kill the pirates, and Vurrha hired Ereen on the spot to be his new enforcer for his gang, known as Vurrha's Blood. Ereen agreed, seeing the new role as a challenge she could overcome. She was distinguished by her slightly impatient nature, something that Vurrha tried to eliminate. She was also known for her skills with a blaster, and relished the opportunity to cause a little mayhem while terrifying her enemies.

Aggregator
This Interdictor cruiser was part of High Admiral Teradoc's fleet in the years immediately after the Battle of Endor. He leased the ship to Ysanne Isard, for her to use against Rogue Squadron during the Bacta War. She used it to intercept the Rogues as they passed through the Alderaan System, with the Corrupter as the primary attacker. However, the Rogues were able to fully disable the Corrupter and severely damaged the Aggregator in the battle. The Aggregator jumped back into hyperspace when it realized the battle was futile.
(BW)
Aggressive Negotiation
This Barloz-class freighter was one of the many independent starships that answered Nirama's call to help run the Thaereian blockade of the Cularin System, during the final years of the Old Republic. The ship was owned by Jarl Narvis and his wife, Gille. After the onset of the Clone Wars, the Thaereian Milutary began stopping any ship that entered or exited the Cularin System, no matter what its cargo. Nirama worked behind the scenes to hire independent spacers and legitimate mercenaries to run the blockade, in an effort to get medical supplies and foodstuffs to the people of the Cularin System. As the owner of the Aggressive Negotiation, Jarl was an independent arms dealer who was actually transporting weapons to the Cularin Militia, when the ship was boarded by the Thaereians. The Thaereian captain confiscated the cargo, then shot Jarl and the crew when they put up token resistance. The Aggressive Negotiation was then disabled and left for dead, until it was located by another group of freelance spacers who were also working for Nirama. Inside, they found a single surviving crewmember, Jarl's wife Gille, and their young daughter, Kalee. With the help of Nirama's operatives, Gille managed to get the ship back into working order, then set out to return home and take stock of her life.

Agolerga, Maxiron
This aging Naboo man was one of the many rural holymen who had attained the rank of Pontifex, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Agolerga was as surprised as any other member of his order when Padme' Amidala requested that he perform a secret marriage ceremony at her Varykino lake retreat, given that no member of his order had married two beings in more than three centuries. The Senator had known Agolerga from her days as a young politician, and chose the Brotherhood for their quiet, unassuming members. After performing the ceremony, Agolerga could only remember marrying two young lovers named Set and Vere', unaware that they had actually been Anakin Skywalker and Senator Amidala. Skywalker used the Force to erase most of Agolerga's memory of the ceremony, to help ensure the secrecy of the marriage.

Agonizer-6
This was the brand name of Arakyd's nerve disruption system. Resembling tall, three-legged spider, the Agonizer-6 was produced for use by the Empire in controlling large crowds. The Agonizer-6 was equipped with an AI-4 droid brain, making it a fully-functional, independent crowd control device. The droid brain was stripped of any life preservation programming, and was also devoid of personality modules. These devices, originally designed to incapacitate a living being by sending out a neural impulse that disrupted the normal operation of the nervous system, were later used by the Empire as interrogation tools. The manufacture of the Agonizer-6 was later outlawed by the New Republic.

Much of Master Agorn's teachings centered on the rights and obligations of the ancient Jedi Order, including the rule that a Jedi Knight was to use the Force only for the betterment of all. Many beings who encountered his holographic image in the Great Holocron often felt that the display was faulty, since his image was so strange. In fact, very few beings ever encountered another member of his race.

(WOTC)
Agricultural Corps
This vast body of Jedi trainees was part of the the Jedi Council's student development systems. Working in support of the Old Republic's Agricultural Administration, the AgriCorps ostensibly provided a support system for newly settled planets. Those worlds which had need of agricultural improvement - primarily terraformed worlds, but also planets damaged by industrial misuse - could petition the Agricultural Corps for assistance in bringing plantlife to their environment. Underlying the goodwill of the AgriCorps was the belief that all Jedi Padawans needed a way to learn about the nature of life and the balance it brought to the galaxy. The patience needed to nurture crops to grow in harsh environments was a direct paralle to the patience a Jedi Knight needed to discover peace in an unsettled situation. Despite these basic ideals, many students of the Force feared being placed in the AgriCorps, for such placement held the assumption that they lacked the ability to become full Jedi Knights.

This ocean world was the site of an Alliance base populated by the Mon Calamari and Quarren following the first Imperial attack on Calamari. A Quarren spy for the Empire provided the planet's location, and a TIE Bomber attack was launched against the planet. The Alliance's newly-installed defense system took out three of the four bombers, but Ranulf Trommer was able to recover minimal control of his ship and launch concussion missiles at the base. The base took grievous hits, and had to be evacuated.

Aguilae
The female Jawa that managed the Jawa Traders scavenger lot in Mos Eisley. The name Aquilae was given to her by human customers who couldn't pronounce her given name, Khea Nkuul of the Weekkata tribe. She found that running a business in which she sold mechanical things was harder than she thought, given that she was a Jawa. So, she hired Mace Windu to be her salesman. Shortly after R2-D2 and C-3PO landed on Tatooine, after blasting away from the Tantive IV, Aquilae and Mace were forced to go to work for Jek Nkik and his tribe while trying to swing a deal with them to recover CZ-3. They barely escaped the destruction of Jek's sandcrawler by Imperial forces searching for the droids. When she finally caught up with CZ-3, it had been blasted to pieces by Zutton. She took the droid's motivator and several other parts.

Ahakista
This remote planet was noted for its temperate, though quite arid, environment, but little else. No being paid it much attention, which was why the Empire established a secret outpost on the planet during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. It was believed that the facility known as The Hub would be safer from terrorism on a world like Ahakista, since it was far enough from Coruscant to avoid notice, yet close enough to allow for regular transmissions of data.
For generations leading up to the Galactic Civil War, Ahakista had been governed as a true democracy, where every being had a say in the leadership of the planet. The Imperials who arrived to construct the Pyramid One building allied themselves with the upper classes, gathering them together and coercing them to take control of the planet in order to consolidate power. This gave the Empire the secrecy it needed to build Pyramid One, but it also gave rise to a small, underground rebel force. These rebels tried to thwart the Empire's activities on Ahakista, but lacked any real strength. They eventually found support from the crimelord Raze, who agreed to provide agents who could destroy The Hub.

This was the Nazren word for "city", although nothing resembling a city was established by the Nazren on their homweworld of Nizon.
(WOTC)
Ahdjok
This large settlement served as the closest thing to a real city on the planet Nizon. From the Nazren word meaning "city", Ahdjok was little more than gathering place for various clans until the Empire subjugated the Nazren and took control of Nizon. This gathering place became the Empire's base of operations, and much of the slave trading that was done on the planet took place in Ahdjok. After the Empire was ousted, Ahdjok became best-known as the site of Martyr's Plaza, where a dome-shaped sculpture depicted various events in Nazren history.
(WOTC)
Ahid, Ruceba
This man and his accomplices, Oejoe Hitiwa and Stu Hemphawar, were smugglers and small-time criminals who worked from a tiny apartment near Coruscant's entertainment district, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. The Senate Bureau of Intelligence issued a bounty for their arrest, after they were implicated in a scheme to traffic illicit contraband throughout the Core Worlds. All three men were eventually captured by Jango Fett on Coruscant, while the bounty hunter was searching for Jervis Gloom.

Ahk'laht
This Noghri served as Leia Organa-Solo's bodyguard in the years prior to the appearance of Admiral Daala and the discovery of the Maw Installation. During a series of negotiations between Leia and a representative of the Barabel people, Ahk'laht physically manhandled the Barabel minister when he refused access to Alater-ka for the New Republic fleet. The political and personal embarrassment led Leia to send Ahk'laht back to Honoghr with the message that the Noghri were no longer indebted to the family of Darth Vader.

Ahleazah
This Mon Calamari female was captured during the Empire's initial occupation of Calamari and forced to work with the medical corps. The rest of her family was simply sold into slavery. She did her best to ease the suffering of her people, being moved from camp to camp in order to ensure she didn't develop any relationships. When she saved the life of a minor Imperial Navy officer, the grateful officer brought Ahleazah to his starship, where she was allowed to work with and learn from the advanced medical facilities on the ship. During her treatment of an Alliance pilot who was to undergo interrogation, Ahleazah decided that the time had come for her to act against the Empire which had destroyed her family. She treated the pilot, then got both of them to an escape pod just as the Imperial ship was leaving the Anoat System. An Alliance convoy later rescued them, and Ahleazah served the Alliance - and later, the New Republic - as a medic and healer.

Ahto City
This floating city was established by the Selkath on their homeworld of Manaan, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, to provide a base of operations for the many small businesses which produced kolto. The city's primary residents were to be the many off-worlders who traveled to Manaan to work for the corporations. During the Great Sith War, the Selkath allowed both the Sith Empire and the Old Republic to maintain embassies in Ahto City, striving to maintain a balanced distribution of kolto to each side of the war. When the production of kolto suddenly stopped, the Selkath abandoned the city and returned to the oceans.

This Sullustan female was a noted entertainer during the last years of the Old Republic. When the Clone Wars broke out, she joined Jasod Revoc's Galactic Revue and traveled across the galaxy to entertain the troops of the Grand Army of the Republic. Although not generally well-known, Eyar Ahtram was a rising star whose songs had begun to appear on the Galactic Top 40,000 list. It was on a trip to Drongar that she met and became attached to Den Dhur, who was a famous reporter on their homeworld of Sullust. After a brief courtship, Eyar asked Den to join her as a mate, an offer that Den gladly accepted. Note that the name Eyar Ahtram is really Martha Raye spelled backwards, in honor of the noted entertainer. Also note that this character was initially referred to as Eyar Marath.

Aia
This tall humanoid was native to the moon of Bogg 4. Aia was mostly human in appearance, although white feathers covered his head and his fingers and toes were webbed. He was known on Bogg 4 as a pickpocket and thief, and many beings would have loved to tear his wings off. Aia was one of the few beings who had learned to literally fly between the moons, waiting until those moons with atmospheres grew so close that their atmospheres mingled. During these close periods, Aia could actually fly through space from moon to moon. It was in this way that Aia helped a young Boba Fett travel to Bogg 11 to recover Slave I from Honest Gjon, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. However, even as he befriended young Boba Fett, Aia stole the boy's last credits from his pockets.

Ailon Military Ceremonies
These annual events were staged by the members of the Ailon Nova Guard, to recruit new members and strengthen the skills of its existing members. During the ceremonies, members of the Ailon Nova Guard practiced various combat techniques, cleaned and upgraded equipment, staged war games, and observed the military traditions of the societies from which its members came. During the era of the New Order, the Ailon Military Ceremonies served as the primary gathering of its members, since the the Empire all but dismantled the Ailon Nova Guard, relegating it to a ceremonial unit. The ceremonies gave members a chance to improve themselves, allowing the Ailon Nova Guard to became a dedicated and well-trained paramilitary force, even as it lacked real-world experience in combat.
(SWJ15, OWS)
Ailon Nova Guard
This military operation, located in the Ailon System, had a prowess in battle that had been compared to the Mandalorians and the Imperial Royal Guard. They trained religiously, and had a 13,000-year history of success. At one time, the Ailon Nova Guard was allied with the Old Republic. However, their basic tenets revolved around the survival of the fittest, and during the years that followed the Clone Wars, they believed that Emperor Palpatine was the prime example of this. Despite their Imperial ties, the Ailon Nova Guard remained largely non-human in their membership, although this led to the unit being all but disbanded by the Empire. However, the Guard's membership remained focused on their training, and in the wake of the Battle of Endor they worked diligently to eliminate any Imperial threat. The leaders of the Ailon Nova Guard swore allegiance to the New Republic, but remained a fully independent force. The military unit provided a much-needed boost to New Republic troops in the Mid Rim, and helped drive out Imperial forces there during the years that followed the Battle of Endor.

Aing-Tii
This strange race of creatures inhabited the furthest reaches of the Kathol Outback, near the Kathol Rift. The Force-sensitive Aing-Tii monks were among the few beings who could actually navigate through the Rift, and were seen emerging from the Rift on several occasions. As a race, the Aing-Tii were tall, edentate mammals whose bodies were covered by bony plates. They had four legs - two small forelimbs and two strong legs - although they most often stood erect, and a thick tail provided balance and stability. Their heads were covered by helmet-like plates, and were dominated by two large eyes. They had no visible mouths, but used a group of six long, thin tongues for tasting, smelling, and feeling. The average Aing-Tii communicated with other members of its race through the exchange of pheromones, although the Aing-Tii could also use a form of telepathy to commune with one another. This form of telepathy was also used to communicate with other Force-sensitive beings, although it provided these non-Aing-Tii with simple suggestions of sensations and emotions. Although they were strongly-attuned to the Force, the Aing-Tii did not use the Force in the ways that the Jedi Order did. Instead of using the Force as a tool or weapon, the Aing-Tii respected and experienced the Force, allowing it to guide them along the path it had chosen for them. In many respects, the Aing-Tii view of the Force was that of a rainbow, with varying shades and colors that represented its many different aspects and possibilities.
Much of their bony armor was covered with intricate, etched and painted symbols that resembled the markings seen on their strangely-organic starships. Their tails, also covered with thick plates, were prehensile and often used in defense and attack. The Aing-Tii could use their unusual shapes to their advantage, assuming the appearance of a large rock of boulder whenever they encountered a being they did not know or trust. By curling their bodies into tight shapes, the Aing-Tii could blend into the natural environment of their homeworld. Only when an intruder was determined to be of little threat would a single emissary emerge from hiding, to accompany the newcomer on their journey. The Aing-Tii strove to remain as close as possible to their environment, and made their home in natural caves and shelters that blended into their surroundings. In this way, the homes and dwellings of the Aing-Tii also blended into their surroundings. Most Aing-Tii preferred to live in areas that would have been deemed inhospitable by most other races, choosing to live in relative austerity, as if it were a challenge that had to be met in order to stay alive.
The existence of the Aing-Tii in the Kathol Rift had been debated for years, since the monks never remained in inhabited space long enough to approach. Stories from the Kathol Outback spoke of the Aing-Tii monks and their constant search for "the Ones Who Dwell Beyond the Veil", an area that was believed to exist beyond the Kathol Rift. According to these stories, the beings from beyond the Veil would eventually give the Aing-Tii the answers to their most important questions. Scholars who investigated the Aing-Tii believed that they developed their ability to move through the space of the Kathol Rift in order to locate "the Ones Who Dwell Beyond the Veil", and not necessarily to seek out new worlds to colonize. Because of their beliefs, the Aing-Tii were thrown into disorder when an individual emerged who claimed to be able to see into the future. This individual, known as the Prophet, claimed that Those Who Dwell Beyond the Veil would return to the Aing-Tii within his lifetime. However, two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, the Prophet died, and no sign of the mysterious beings had been found. The Aing-Tii were divided in a form of civil strife, and many younger individuals began to question whether or not Those Who Dwell Beyond the Veil actually existed. Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, sought out the Aing-Tii at this time, as part of Luke's own journey to discern what had happened to Jacen Solo. Like others who had encountered them, the Skywalkers learned that the Aing-Tii were highly secretive and did everything they could to remain out of contact with the rest of the galaxy. However, once the Aing-Tii accepted an outsider in thei rmidst, the aliens were eager to share their civilization with the newcomers.
(KO, EGF, FJ2)
Aing-Tii Monks
The Aing-Tii monks were known as those Force-sensitive members of the Aing-Tii race, although they didn't use the Force and control it the way Jedi Knights did. The Aing-Tii monks were not exclusively members of the Aing-Tii race, but the few others who were allowed to join were required to immerse themselves in the beliefs of the Aing-Tii. The Aing-Tii monks viewed the universe as a vast array of temperments and emotions, rather than dividing the Force into Dark and Light. According to the Aing-Tii monks, the Force was "a gift from Those Beyond the Veil", although who or what might be beyond the Veil was never learned. No one was sure exactly why, but the Aing-Tii monks patrolled the Kathol Outback between the Marcol Void and the Kathol Rift looking for slave ships. They incapacitated the slavers with their Sanhedrim starships, then freed the slaves. These beings were known as Sanhedrim in the native language of the Aing-Tii, a term that translated into Basic as "pilgrim" or "monk".
The presence of the Aing-Tii and the Aing-Tii monks in the Kathol Rift had been debated for years, since the monks never remained in inhabited space long enough to approach. Stories from the Kathol Outback spoke of the Aing-Tii monks and their constant search for "the Ones Who Dwell Beyond the Veil", an area that was believed to exist beyond the Kathol Rift. According to these stories, the beings from beyond the Veil would eventually give the Aing-Tii the answers to their most important questions.
In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong War, the Aing-Tii monks welcomed Jacen Solo into their midst, and he learned that the Aing-Tii used their abilities to transport their starships through space. Instead of employing hyperdrive technology, the Aing-Tii monks simply moved their ships to a new location with their minds. It was believed that some level of technology was developed to assist them, but the Aing-Tii never revealed it to the rest of the galaxy.

This was TaggeCo's entry into the basic swoop market, a three-meter-long vehicle controlled by hand controls, foot pegs, and knee pressure points. The 2.35-meter-long Air-2 had a rounded front cowling with integrated maneuvering vanes and an optional windscreen. While it was exceptionally fast, with a top speed of 600 kilometers per hour, the Air-2's control system made the swoop hard to control under hard driving conditions. Han Solo escaped from a group of slavers on Bonadan by fleeing on an Air-2 swoop. Note that Star Wars Gamer magazine, issue 7, indicates that the Air-2 swoop was produced by SoroSuub, and had a maximum speed of 700 kilometers per hour.

Airspinner
This device was developed by the various companies that plied the atmosphere of the planet Bespin. Airspinners were small devices that were dropped from trawlers and gas collectors to monitor the movement of the atmosphere, to anticipate storms and evacuate an area before their vessels were damaged.

Airsplint
This was the generic term used to describe any durable air bladder that could be used to immobilize a broken limb, so that the injured being could be transported to a medical facility for proper treatment. Airsplints could be carried in most medkits because they could rolled into a tight cylinder for storage.
(LF9)
Airsquid
This gas-bag vermin was native to the Life Zone of the planet Bespin. Each of these sac-shaped creatures moved about with the help of two stubby wings, and their mouths were filled with up to eighteen tentacle-like tongues. Each tongue was coated with an organic adhesive, which an airsquid used to latch onto a beldon or other large beast. Usually, an airsquid will simply hitch a ride on a beldon, using one of more of its tongues to catch airborne algae. However, swarms of airsquid have been known to gang up on, and devour, larger prey.
(GORW)
Airstilting
This technique for landing a starship was considered a last resort, to be used when the only other option was to crash. It was used primarily in those situations when repulsorlift engines failed, elminating a pilot's ability to lower a ship to the ground using anti-gravity. Airstilting involved turning a ship upright with respect to the ground, so that its main sublight drives were pointing downward. With careful modulation, the sublight drives could be used to drop the ship to drop close to the ground, but not all the way. The thrust generated by the drives prevented this. In order to land, the sublight drives had to be cut off just above the ground, dropping the ship onto its rear with a jarring thud. Then, with luck, the ship would topple over in such a way that it ended up on its landing struts, again with a jarring thud. Quite often, the ship's tail fins and landing struts were badly damaged as a result, but the primary systems were kept intact.

AirStraeker
This was a small starfighter that was developed by the Chiss, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Known as a Firefly, the AirStraeker was dsitinguished by its drooping wings, which allowed it to have excellent maneuverability in outer space as well as in atmosphere.

Aiwha
This was a species of flying cetacean was believed to have originated on the planet Naboo, although a large population was also found on the world of Kamino. Also known as an air whale, the aiwha was similar in appearance to a thranta, being a massive avian that measured some ten meters from wingtip to wingtip. These creatures used a combination of sonar and radar for their communication, and were equally at home swimming in the ocean or flying through the air. A hollow bone structure and large lungs helped the aiwha remain aloft or afloat, and their flat tail was used as a rudder and paddle. Their small legs were not made for walking, and the aiwha preferred to land in the water rather than on land. A vast network of small, almost vascular vessels permeated the flesh of the aiwha, allowing it to adjust its relative mass by pumping water into the vessels to increase mass. When a decrease in mass was needed, the aiwha could expel excess water through a blowhole on their heads. Additionally, the porous tissues of the aiwha's wings allowed for even more precise control of an individual's mass, since water could be absorbed into the tissues when necessary.
Most aiwhas were omnivorous, filtering fish, krill, plankton, and other food materials from the water with their baleen. In the wild, aiwhas gather in small pods that live near the surface of the water. Each mating season, a mated pair would give birth to a litter of calves, with the female bearing her offspring live. Many aiwhas were trained by the Gungan and Kaminoan peoples to accept a saddle and harness, and were used as airborne transports. Gungans often trained aiwhas as war mounts and for aerial reconnaissance, while the Kaminoans used them for transport and for traveling to the bottom of the oceans. While it was generally acknowledged that the Naboo aiwhas were indigenous, many xenobiologists believed that the Kaminoan aiwhas were probably transplanted to Kamino and maintained as genetically-bred clones. One interesting trait of the Kamino aiwhas was an alteration that gave them resistance to electric shock, allowing them to fly through the storms that raced across the planet's surface. Note that Rebel Force: Firefight indicates that aiwhas were avian lizards, not cetaceans.

Akanseh was liberated by Page's Commandos during the New Republic assault on Kal'Shebbol. Akanseh never revealed why he had been imprisoned, simply claiming that Sarne hadn't needed a charge to imprison him. In reality, Sarne was wanted Akanseh to develop a droid-maintained medical suite on Kal'Shebbol, to augment his experiments with the DarkStryder technology. Akanseh joined the crew of the FarStar when the call went out for volunteers to go after Sarne. Unknown to most of his shipmates, Akanseh was a former interrogation expert with a great deal of experience in torturing individuals. When the FarStar and its crew escaped from the Q'Maere Research Facility, Doctor Akanseh opted to remain on Q'Maere and help rehabilitate the prisoners there.

Akk Dog
This vicious predator was native to the planet Haruun Kal. Despite their fearsome reputation, akk dogs were beloved by the natives. The average specimen stood about two meters tall, and was protected by thick, armor-like skin plates. The coloration of the akk dog was a dusty brown, which allowed it to blend into the grasslands of their native world. Their large eyes gave the akk dogs excellent vision, both during the day and at night. The slayed paws of an akk dog were studded with shovel-size claws, allowing them to gain a foothold on virtually anything. The tail of the akk dog was nearly as long as its body, and was heavily muscled, providing balance as well as a kind of weapon. The eyes of an akk dog were lidless, and were protected by a transparent shell. Domesticated akk dogs were used to round up grassers by ranchers. They could only be bred on their native world, but feral akk dogs were smuggled to Nar Shaddaa for sale on the black market. These beasts were often mentally or genetically altered to serve as vicious guards and protectors, despite the fact that possession of an akk dog was illegal. Akk dogs were also a species which could touch the Force, which made them excellent companions for the Korunnai. In addition to the akk dogs used by the Korunnai, there were two lesser species which hunted in the jungles of Haruun Kal, as well as the akk wolf.

A'kla, Elegos
This Caamasi male and his young daughter Releqy were saving from the ravages of Remart Sasyru by Corran Horn. Elegos, the Trusant for the Morymento Caamasi Remnant, deferred to Corran and became his manservant, in order to better protect his people. His mother's brother was Ylenic It'kla. Through genetic memnii, Elegos felt a bond with Corran, andexplained that becoming his manservant would be beneficial to the Caamasi on Kerilt in the long run. This vision came to pass when Elegos accompanied Corran to Suarbi 7/5, where they rescued Mirax and defeat Leonia Tavira. On Surabi 7/5, Elegos discovered a owrld much more hospitable to the Caamasi than Kerilt, and also found that the Khuiumin Survivors and surrednering members of the Invids would need the Caamasi guidance and calmness to forge a new society. He also learned of the story of the Alderaan Graveyard through Tycho Celchu, and established a similar way of honoring the Caamasi dead after he reloacted to Suarbi 7/5. Several years later, Elegos played a role in the resolution of the Caamas Incident, helping deliver the fragment of transmission from Colonel Vermel to Leia Organa-Solo and setting up a meeting between her and Admiral Pellaeon. Elegos was eventually named the Senator who represented the Caamasi Remnant in the New Republic. He agreed to accompany Leia Organa Solo on a fact-finding mission to the Outer Rim Territories, in an effort to prove to the Senate that the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy was a real threat. Eventually, they were forced to fight their way clear of the Yuuzhan Vong to return to Coruscant, and still the leadership of the Republic failed to grasp the import of the invasion. Elegos finally became fed up with politics, and traveled to Dubrillion to present himself as an envoy to Shedao Shai. Shedao Shai agreed to hosst Elegos as an emissary, against the wishes of Deign Lian. Elegos and Shedao Shai learned much from each other, until the New Republic discovered that the pollen of the bafforr tree caused permanent damage to their crab armor. In an effort to draw out Corran Horn - who had killed two of his relatives - Shedao Shai murdered Elegos and had his skeleton gilded and packed in a sarcophagus. Elegos' remains were sorely received by Corran, who eventually met Shedao Shai in a duel.

A'Kla, Releqy
This young Caamasi female was the daughter of Elegos A'kla, living on the colony world of Kerilt. She was attacked and almost raped by Remart Sasyru, but managed to escape with her companion Corran Horn - under the alias Jenos Idanian. She later joined her father in rebuilding the Caamasi Remnant community on Suarbi 7/5, and developed into a noted speaker and politician in her own right. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Releqy was chosen to act as her father's liaison to the Senate, during his fact-finding mission to the Outer Rim Territories. When Elegos was killed by the Yuuzhan Vong warrior Shedao Shai, Releqy reluctantly took his place in the New Republic Senate. She had been chosen by the Caamasi to take her father's position for the duration of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, and she chose to pursue peace. She was a vocal proponent of a peaceful resolution to the war, a position which was supported by Cal Omas but opposed by a large number of other Senators.

Akobi
This man served the Empire as a Commander of the ground forces working to secure the planet Ralltiir, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Two years earlier, TK-622 saved the life of Akobi, and Akobi showed his gratitude by ensuring that TK-622 got promoted to new positions whenever he was moved. The pair honed their combat skills together, and developed an innate trust of each other's abilities. While on Ralltiir, Commander Akobi ordered the strike against a supposed rebel cell that led to the massacre of farmers and families at Ettam. When he found out that the attack had destroyed a medical facility, and not a weapons deopt, Akobi began to question his own abilities and the tenets of the Empire. Shortly afterward, TK-622 was again forced to put his life on the line when a hidden thermal detonator - planted by rebels - went off near them. Shortly afterward, Akobi was transferred to a posting on the first Death Star, and TK-622 went with him. Upon arrival, TK-622 discovered a sabotaged RA-7 protocol droid, again saving Akobi's life. Onboard the Death Star, Akobi was to receive a commendation from Grand Moff Tarkin himself, to honor the work he did on Ralltiir. Before the ceremony, another Alliance-rigged droid attacked Akobi, sending thousands of volts of stunning energy through his body before TK-622 couuld destroy it. The attack eventually claimed Akobi's life, and spurred TK-622 to dig deeper into the possibility of an Alliance saboteur on the Death Star.

A native of the city of Al-Campur, Ak-Rev worshipped Am-Shak, the Weequay god of thunder. He caught the eye of one of Am-Shak's monks when he was young, and the monk taught him about hand-to-hand combat and boxing, as well as music. After leaving the monastery, Ak-Rev made a living as a street fighter, and always paid his tithes to Am-Shak. Jabba once saw Ak-Rev - who adopted the name of one of his slavemasters - playing drums at a religious ceremony, and offered him a job on Tatooine. Note that Star Wars Insider, issue 67, indicates that Ak-Rev was given the chance to serve as Jabba's bodyguard only after getting into a fight with several of Jabba's Gamorrean guards. Ak-Rev accepted, and played the huge drum in Jabba's Tatooine palace with Umpass-Stay. He also trained many of Jabba's guards. Although he survived the swath of destruction that followed Jabba's death, Ak-Rev was killed just days later when Tusken Raiders attacked the landspeeder he and Umpass-stay had used to travel to Mos Eisley.

Akul
This species of orange-furred predators was native to the grasslands of the planet Shili. The akul was considered the apex predator of Shili, posing a threat to even the native Togruta race. Moving about on four muscular legs, the akul was noted for its prominent fangs, which were considered trophies by the Togruta.
When on the hunt, the akul would ambush its break and grab it by the neck. Using its jaw and neck muscles, the akul would latch onto its prey and shake it violently, snapping the prey's neck and killing it.
Because of its power and beauty, the akul was prized by zoos on planets across the galaxy. While akuls could be bred in captivity, they rarely left their predatory nature behind, and handlers had to be constantly vigilant when working with their akuls.
Occasionally, an albino akul will be born, and these individuals were more prized than their orange-furred cousins. In the wild, these albinos would be abandoned, since their coloration would make them obvious to any prey. However, albino akuls were popular in stage shows and holovids, and were maintained with great respect and admiration.

The landscape of the planet was broken by intensely-roiling geysers that shot warm water into the atmosphere. Note that Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 92, indicates that the Alliance considered Akruia II as a potential base, before choosing to establish the Massassi Base on the fourth moon of Yavin.

Akwin
This aquatic race was indigenous to the planet Lazerian IV, and descended from a species of savage sea creatures tens of thousands of years ago. The Akwin were mammalians, with blue-green fur and six limbs. The upper set of limbs resembled human arms, and ended in three-fingered hands. The second set of limbs also resembled arms, but they originated from the midsection and end in flippers. The lower set of limbs were normal legs that ended in webbed feet. Akwins also had thick tails which ended with a flat fluke, which they used to propel themselves through the water. The long, flat head of the Akwin was covered with cilia, which could be nearly any color from white to blue to black. They breathed via a combination of gills and two blowholes at the tops of their heads. The Akwin raised their food on underwater ranches, and lived peacefully in huge cities on the ocean floor. They developed a sophisticated, water-resistant technology that was rarely shared with off-worlders or the native humans. The humans of Lazerian IV believed the Akwin were some sort of legend, a belief fostered by the Akwin to keep the humans from discovering them. The Akwin were aloof and condescending to races which breathed air. While the human population had little information on the Akwin - they believed them to be legends, after all - the Akwin had a great understanding of human history and culture.

Alama, Shahan
This Weequay bounty hunter joined Cad Bane to help the Duros free Ziro the Hutt from prison, during the height of the Clone Wars. Known for this sharpshooting skills and his nasty temperment, Shahan Alama was part of the small group recruited by Bane to hold a group of Senators hostage, in exchange for Ziro's release. When Cad Bane discovered that Anakin Skywalker had been trapped in the Senate Rotunda when the bounty hunters cut off the power, he sent Alama and one of his assassin droids to investigate. Skywalker used the Force to subtly influence Alama's actions, prompting the Weequay to split up with the droid and have each bounty hunter serach a different floor. In this way, Skywalker managed to destroy the droid, forcing Alama to return to Bane with news of his escape. He did, however, explain that the assassin droid had been clubbed to pieces, and no lightsaber were obvious on its metal shell, giving Bane the knowledge that Skywalker was unarmed. Skywalker did not remain free for long, as Bane sent Alama and Robonino back out to recover him. When Alama managed to hold Skywalker at blaster-point, Robonino managed to shock him into submission and brought him to the place where the Senators were being held. After Ziro was successfully released, Alama and the other bounty hunters demanded their share of the payment for the job, but Cad Bane refused to pay them until Ziro was safely returned to his home. Bane then ordered the hunters to scatter, so that they could not be tracked, and Alama decided to head to Hondo Ohnaka's base on Florrum. He was intercepted by a Separatist cruiser, and the encounter was discovered by a nearby Republic warship. Alama soon found himself confronted by enemies on both sides of the war, and had to hope that he could reach Florrum without being caught.

Alani
This woman and her twin sister, Eritha, requested the help of the Jedi Knights six years after the population of New Apsolon elected a planetary leader. The sisters were the daughter of the former leader Ewane, who was killed shortly after he left office. They supposedly went into hiding, and begged the Jedi Knights to return to New Apsolon and find Ewane's killer. When Qui-Gon Jinn arrived in search of Tahl, he learned that the twins had willingly joined Roan's household, and had not sent for the Jedi. Alani herself told Qui-Gon that they had seen Tahl, and that the sisters felt like they were a part of Roan's family. This was all a cover, though, in an effort to protect Tahl, who had infiltrated the Absolutes. The twins were captured shortly after Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived on the planet. Alani and Eritha were released after Roan was killed, but Eritha soon found out that Alani had been working for Balog all along. She discovered that Alani had been behind their kidnapping, which had been meant to sway public sympathy against the Jedi. After the death of Legislator Pleni, Alani suddenly announced her intentions of running for the position of planetary governor, in opposition to the plans of Manex. She also revealed to Obi-Wan that Eritha had secretly been working for her all along, and that Eritha's support of the Workers was a sham. Alani believed that, with Eritha at her side, she would be voted into the Governor's position. However, after their admissions and the capture of Balog, both Eritha and Alani were arrested and imprisoned, and their bid for power was extinguished.

Alaric
This aging Sephi was the King of the planet Thustra during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He was favored among his subjects, who willingly followed whatever plans he had for Thustra. His charisma and influence extended well beyond Thustra, as many planetary rulers in neighboring systems looked to him for wisdom and guidance. Thus, when Alaric chose to secede from the Old Republic, Chancellor Palpatine and the Galactic Senate were worried that his defection would lead to the secession of many other planets in the area. A small contingent of clone troopers, under the command of Jedi Masters Tyffix and Tyr, was dispatched to Thustra to make a show of force. Their mission was to avoid engaging the Sephi, but Alaric was adamant about leaving the Republic. In response to the Republic landing forces on Thustra, Alaric made contact with Count Dooku about joining the Confederacy of Independent Systems. His people were equally opposed to the Republic, and launched wave after wave of devastating attacks on the Republic's forces, often at the cost of their own lives. When Jedi Master Yoda - an friend of Alaric's for more than 200 years - arrived on Thustra, the King found himself torn between his friendship and his own loyalties. In the end, Alaric decided to choose what was best for his people, and pushed ahead with his secession. He imprisoned Yoda as a Republic General, but remained on speaking terms with the Jedi Master. They spoke at length of the state of the galaxy, and Alaric explained that he was willing to wait out the Clone Wars as a neutral party. He would wait to see who would emerge victorious, with the goal of having Thustra remain intact. When he realized that the Republic's forces would eventually overwhelm the Sephi, Alaric chose to attack Yoda. He would either defeat the Jedi Master and instill more bravery in his people, or he would die as a martyr and incite the Sephi to more desparate acts of fanaticism. Alaric's first blaster bolt was deflected by Yoda, but its trajectory brought it right back to Alaric. The blaster pierced his chest, and Alaric died shortly afterward. His death served its intended purpose, and even the neighboring systems rallied to help the Sephi repel the forces of the Republic.

Alaris Prime
This moon orbited a huge gas giant, which masked the moon's appearance to most shipboard sensors. For this reason, it went undiscovered to many millennia, until the Wookiees of nearby Kashyyyk discovered space travel. When the Wookiees first arrived, they found a world of temperate forests and oceans, with many stands of wroshyr trees, which were believed to be native only to Kashyyyk. Wookiee legends tell of wroshyr trees traveling through space to Alaris Prime, but no scientific explanation had ever been put forth. Alaris Prime was eventually turned over to the Wookiees by the Old Republic, after some twenty years of deliberation. It was a highly-valued world, given its proximity to Kessel and Bimmisaari, and the Trade Federation once tried to obtain control for themselves. The Wookiees objected to this, fighting to keep the Federation off Alaris Prime. Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn was dispatched to mediate the dispute, eventually turning control of the moon over to Attichitcuk and the Wookiees. Alaris Prime eventually became a technology hub for the Old Republic, but was nearly destroyed when Count Dooku tried to test the Force Harvester on the moon, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. Anakin Skywalker, who was being held captive aboard the massive device, escaped before Dooku used it to wipe out a large portion of the moon. Note that Star Wars Insider, Issue 62 indicates that this moon was simply named Alaris, and that it orbited Kashyyyk itself.

Alashan
This remote world was the site of an Alliance-sponsored archaeological dig, during the period surrounding the Battle of Yavin. Ancient records indicated that a great civilization once existed on the planet, although there were no modern records of any beings on Alashan. The Alliance hoped that some sort of weapons technology might be discovered on Alashan, and sponsored the expedition to assist in their effort to overthrow the Empire. Contact was lost with the outpost after the Battle of Yavin, and a scout force dispatched to investigate was also lost. Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker were later stranded on the planet, following their theft of the Staraker, after they were directed to Alashan to continue the invvestigation. The planet was known to have at least three natural moons. Luke and Leia found an Imperial detachment on Alashan, and both parties agreed that the planet had a strange connection to the Force. Five kilometers beneath the surface, Luke, Leia, and Major Grau discovered an immense city, hidden by barriers that had been breached by the archaeologists. The defeat of the Sentinelk creature whichh protected the city brought down tons of rock and debris, forever burying the ancient city amd cutting off any hope of recovering Alashan's strange technology.

Alazhixazha
This was the Vratix term for the Thriving Season, the ten-year period following the Battle of Naboo, during which both the Xucphra and Zaltin factions were forced to submit to Vratix control. Dubbed the Vratix Occupation by many corporate interests, Alazhixazha began shortly after the election of Palpatine to Supreme Chancellor. A huge number of scandals involving corporate payoffs preceded the revelation that both Zaltin and Xucphra had destroyed fields of alazhi in order to jack up the price of bacta across the galaxy. The normally anti-bureaucratic Vratix decided that they had to stand up for their planet and its reputation, and executed a bloodless coup that even their worst enemies described as "elegant." It was during the period of Alazhixazha that the Bacta Cartel forced to compete with local companies and non-human business interests for supplies of bacta. It was also during this time that galactic awareness of bacta - including its production and distribution - was increased significantly.

When Albert invited the university's faculty to a party to celebrate his 200th year of service, only three members showed up. Albert went into a sulk, and began to ruminate within its own databases. Albert stumbled upon a cell of Alliance supporters within the student body, and began to assist them in their struggles against the Empire. He even discovered that one of their number was an Imperial spy, and arranged to have him arrested and removed from the cell. During this time, Albert also discovered that much of his programming remained intact, despite the attempt to reduce it many years earlier.

Alderaan
This planet's human inhabitants were among the most peaceful beings in the galaxy, although they were not the planet's original form of sentient life. Before human colonists settled Alderaan some 2,500 years before the formation of the Old Republic, the planet was ruled by the Killiks. However, their civilization came to an end near three millennia earlier, when an meteor crashed into the planet and destroyed the Killiks. Thus, when human colonists arrived on Alderaan, they believed themselves to be the first sentients on the planet.
These colonists chose to live in continual harmony with the world around them, and built their cities on top of sandstone bluffs and on stilts in the shallow seas. The capital city of Aldera was eventually built in the crater that was formed when the meteor that killed the Killik crashed into the planet. Alderaan itself was a temperate world that was orbited by three moons. The towering cities were built in such a way that they wouldn't destroy the seas or trample the grasslands, where the strange ruins of the Killik civilization were discovered. The human inhabitants of the planet catalogued over 8,000 species of grasses on the plains, and more than that in species of flowers.
At the age of seventeen, an Alderaanian was considered an adult. It was a well-known custom that the adult members of Alderaan's society never cut their hair, but allowed it to grow into long tresses.
Alderaan was a staunch supporter of the Old Republic, and many of its inhabitants served in the armed forces. However, Alderaan itself remained a weapons-free planet, refusing to develop its own weapons even during the tumultuous times of the Clone Wars. Following the Clone Wars and the widespread destruction caused by it, the government of Alderaan outlawed all weapons. They placed any and all weapons that existed on the planet aboard a transport ship and sent the ship out on a never-ending series of random hyperspace jumps.
The homeworld of the Organa family, Alderaan's role in galactic politics took a detour during the later years of the Old Republic. As Palpatine continued to gain power, the Organas began organizing a resistance to his Presidency. With the implementation of the New Order, Senator Bail Organa was one of many Senators who had signed the Petition of the Two Thousand who was still allowed to serve. However, this meant that Senator Organa had to continually fight to preserve the freedom of his people, since the Emperor wanted to install an Imperial Governor to oversee the planet. After many years of struggling with the New Order, Alderaan became one of the primary supporters of the newly-formed Alliance to Restore the Republic.
Unfortunately, the outspoken dissatisfaction with Palpatine's rule led to the destruction of the planet. After Senator Leia Organa was captured aboard the Tantive IV over Tatooine, she was taken to Grand Moff Tarkin for questioning. Tarkin tried to obtain information from her about the location of the Alliance's hidden base, but she proved too strong to be broken by verbal or drug-induced interrogation. Even when Tarkin threatened to destroy Alderaan with the new Death Star, Leia lied to him about the location of the Alliance's base. Tarkin took no chances, however, and ordered the destruction of the planet.
Alderaan was blown to pieces just before the Battle of Yavin, and all life on the planet was destroyed. The Death Star's superlaser was so powerful that it caused a portion of Alderaan's mass to be ejected directly into hyperspace, causing a ripple in the time-space continuum that evidenced itself as an expanding ring of energy efflux. Some 60,000 natives survived because they were off-world at the time, and were granted a unique status within the Alliance, as well as the New Republic. The asteroid field that formed from Alderaan's rubble became known as the Graveyard of Alderaan, and Alderaanian survivors made regular pilgrimages to the site to honor their dead.
In order to avoid public outcries about the destruction of Alderaan, Imperial propaganda created several convincing stories to cover up the truth. One story claimed that Alderaanian scientists had created their own superweapon, in hopes of using it against the Empire, but that the weapon exploded during testing and destroyed the planet. Another story, devised to explain the presence of the Death Star in the system, claimed that the Death Star had been in the area to perform its initial tests on lifeless moons. Alliance agents tried to sabotage the tests, which resulted in the Death Star's laser accidentally firing on the planet, rather than a lifeless target.
Although the loss of life that occurred with the planet's destruction was horrible, the Alliance was faced with an even more devastating consequence, because most of the Alliance's credits were stored in secret bank accounts on Alderaan. The loss of these credits forced the Alliance to launch daring missions to worlds like Muunilinst, in an effort to acquire the credits that were necessary to continue funding the fight against the Empire.

Alderaan Ascendency Contention
This power struggle within the Alderaanian hierarchy occurred several decades before the Clone Wars. The situation arose when House of Organa and the House of Antilles could not agree on the rightful heir to the Alderaanian throne. The other high houses of Alderaan could not make up their mind as to which would assume the throne of Viceroy of Alderaan, and three separate votes yielded no outcome. At this point, the Jedi Knights were asked to intervene and help resolve the contention. Jorus C'baoth was among the Jedi assigned to the Contention, and their ruling was that Bail Organa had the rightful claim to the title of Viceroy. To ensure that there was no further contention, the Jedi also ruled that the two houses should be joined in marriage, thereby ending any further feuding.

Alderaan Biotics
This hydroponics company supported Alderaan's need for foodstuffs and other organic supplies until the planet was destroyed by the first Death Star. They once established an operational facility on Borleias, but the site was abandoned after Alderaan was destroyed, and the faciity was staffed with maintenance droids and abandonded. It was discovered years later by Evir Derricote, who rerouted a large amount of Imperial monies to re-establish the site. He used it to produce the initial strains of the Krytos virus until Borleias was liberated by Rogue Squadron after a pair of engagements. Alderaan Biotics later became the New Republic's primary manufacturing facility for the creation of rylca.

The first broadcast of the AEN focused on the destruction of Alderaan, and was based on footage that was obtained from remote cameras on the planet Delaya, as well as communications logs from the Alderaan System that describe the Death Star's appearance. This initial broadcast ended with a call to arms against the Empire.

This famous institute was heralded as one of the most forward-thinking schools in the galaxy, and produced some of the best minds in many disciplines. Founded in Aldera by the great thinker Collus, it was designed to isolate its students from the outside world. Collus believed that this would lead to uninterrupted stretches of time that would allow students to contemplate their studies. Over the years, many other schools were built around Collus' nucleus. These "pods" were developed, not just by Alderaanians, but by any race wanting to further their knowledge through contemplation. The Ithorians had a botanical pod, for instance. During the early years of the New Order, the University became a center of anti-Imperial dissent. Many of the Alliance's brightest minds were schooled and recruited at the University, including the poet Hari Seldona.

After a match against the Quent Assassins, which the Assassins won 21-20, Ytavarg tried to rescue Ap Kormar from being beaten by some Furies fans. They killed Kormar before Aleema could intervene, claiming that they were making an example of Kormar to warn other Alliance sympathizers against taking action. In anger, Aleema used his shockball equipment to kill all seven of the attackers, an action which earned him a short suspension from league play. However, Aleema was determined to extinguish the xenophobia embraced by the Empire, and found himself trying to join the Alliance. After making contact with an Alliance agent, Aleema offered whatever services he could, either physical or financial. He had established a mansion on the planet of Melinz, which he secretly used as a safehouse for Alliance agents. Aleema himself was a foster agent, and secretly funneled a large portion of his income to the Alliance.

Their heads were dominated by a long, thin plate of body which extended back from the skull, and their faces were flat. Two small eyes sat over a wide mouth which was filled with short, sharp teeth. The Aleena were known for their quick-change metabolism, which helped them escape from sagcatchers on their homeworld. Individual members of the species were bred for their color variation, as another way to avoid becoming prey. As a people, the Aleena had a strong warrior tradition. Their society was firmly rooted in the family unit, and individual Aleena were rarely encountered in the galaxy, as entire families tended to travel together.

Aleph-class Starfighter
This two-man starfighter was developed for the Galactic Alliance's naval forces by Sienar Fleet Systems, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Many fighter pilots hated the testing missions they performed in the Aleph-class, considering it too sluggish and heavy to participate in combat. The original mission profile of the Aleph-class was to be a match for the durability of a Yuuzhan Vong coralskipper, utilizing thick hull plating and larger power generators to supply energy to its shields and weapons systems. This earned them the nickname Pondskippers. The nose of the ship was armed with two projectile launching tubes, one for concussion missiles and one for proton torpedos. A ball-shaped turret on either side of the ship carried a quad-laser battery with variable-fire capabilities. In shape, the Aleph-class fighter resembled a large, elongated TIE Fighter cockpit. The main cockpit was spherical, and tapered back into a pair of thruster pods. The entire configuration, according to many pilots, resembled a Twi'lek wearing earmuffs, earning the Aleph-class fighter the nickname Twee. Over the years, the mission profile of the Aleph-class fighter was changed, and the basic design underwent several modifications that required near-continual tweaks and testing.

Algunnis
This binary star, located in Trax Sector, was something of an anomaly. Scientists believed that the double star wandered through its area of the galaxy without any planets, but picked up orbital debris as it moved.

Al'har System
This star system contained the planet Haruun Kal, which was also known as Al'har I. Because the system was located at the hub of the Gevarno Loop, the Old Republic tried to gain the support of the Korunnai in order to obtain a foothold on the traffic on the Gevarno Loop. Haruun Kal was the only habitable planet in the system, and it orbited just within an asteroid belt that was believed to have been the remnants of one or more inner planets. Beyond the asteroids, several gas giants made up the systems' outer planets.

Alien Combine
This underworld organization gave the impoverished aliens of the planet Coruscant a rebellious voice, during the early years of the New Republic. Led by Dmaynel Kiph, the Alien Combine provided a voice for aliens by acting as a sort of union for the creatures working in the Invisible Sector. Members of the Alien Combine later helped the Rogue Squadron pilots when they infiltrated Coruscant, especially after learning that non-human pilots were standing members of the squadron. These aliens highlighted the fact that many Gamorreans and Quarren were being rounded up for no good reason, and never returning. Although the Alien Combine eventually disbanded after the liberation of Coruscant, its ideals were later adopted by Nolaa Tarkona and the Diversity Alliance. However, where the Alien Combine simply wanted the government to recognize alien rights, Nolaa Tarkona turned to the use of excessive force to champion the rights of non-human races.

Alien Underground
This small band of rebels was formed by the non-human population of the planet Desevro, and attempted to gain public awareness and sympathy for aliens who were living in virtual servitude to their human counterparts. The aliens of cities like Maslovar were forced to live in rundown slums, while the humans lived in luxury on islands in the Swamplands. The Alien Underground tried to muster public support for more rights for non-humans, but often met with stern opposition from Maslovar's thirty-seven families.

Alima
A native of Coruscant, Alima grew up in the Empire. He was a quick study, and progressed rapidly in the Imperial Navy. He was in command of the Star Destroyer Conquest when it leveled much of Ithor's Cathor Hills before the Ithorians surrendered. However, when Alima was given the opportunity to become the Captain of Darth Vader's flagship, Alima chose a demotion instead, realizing that Vader's quick temper often made quick work of flagship Captains. His effectiveness to the Empire was not diminished, though, and Alima was placed in charge of locating C-3PO and R2-D2 after the droids escaped from the Tantive IV. He discovered Momaw Nadon in Mos Eisley, and quickly recognized his old Ithorian nemesis. He demanded that Nadon find the droids or the Empire would wipe out his gardens. Nadon could not bring himself to betray the Alliance, and when the Millennium Falcon blasted out of Mos Eisley, Nadon told the Imperial Prefect that Alima had disregarded Nadon's information pointing to the Falcon. This was as bold a lie as Nadon had ever told, but it accomplished its purpose: the Prefect executed Alima on the spot. Nadon, adhering to the Law of Life, stole genetic samples of Alima's DNA, and cloned it when he returned to Ithor. Alima's twin sons served Nadon, as punishment for their father's actions.

Alimet
This man served the Imperial Navy as a starfighter pilot, serving aboard the Fogger during the months surrounding the Battle of Hoth. Alimet was distinguished by his dark hair and thick eyebrows, which covered eyes that were constantly squinting and blinking, as if he were unaccustomed to moving about in the light. Alimet and fellow pilot "Grommet" Carith served as Maarek Stele's wingmen during a mission to destroy a Mugaari weapons depot in the Tungra Sector. The pilots were later reunited when they were transferred to the frigate Ludwick, during the campaign to eliminate the pirates in the Pakuuni System. Alimet was later transferred to the Protector, serving under Admiral Harkov during the months that followed the Nbattle of Hoth, where he was surprised to run into Stele once again.

Alinta
This blond woman was a member of the Friends of the Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. It was Alinta who first anonymously contacted Bail Organa about several situations that were endangering the beliefs and ideals of the Galactic Republic, chiefly the knowledge of Count Dooku's involvement in the Battle of Geonosis and the existence of the Sith of the planet Zigoola. It was this latter knowledge that eventually brought them together, since Alinta would only divulge the information on the planet's location through a series of secret hyperspace jumps. They met at the space station Alinta had obtained for use by the Friends of the Republic, where she planned to provide him with the coordinates of the planet, but Alinta's people were ambushed by Kalarba pirates and were decimated. Organa arrived at the station with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and they were able to fight their way through the pirates to reach Alinta, but it was too late to save her. She had suffered devstating injuries to her chest, abdomen, and arms, and was barely alive when Organa found her. She finally revealed her name to him, before explaining what had happened and giving him a data crystal that contained information on Zigoola's location. Alinta then died from her injuries.

Alkhara
A notorious bandit who roamed the Tatooine wastes, Alkhara used the B'omarr palace as his base for thirty-four years, sharing the palace with the remaining B'omarr monks while he ravaged unwary moisture farmers. He allied his band of thieves with the Sand People long enough to use their strength and ferocity to wipe out a police garrison. He then killed all of the Sand People that had helped him. It was this cruel act that created the feud between Sand People and humans, a feud which continued for centuries after Alkhara's death. When the Sand People sought to exact revenge on him, he fled deep into to the B'omarr palace. Ultimately, however, Alkhara was ousted from the palace by Jabba the Hutt, who desired the palace for his own base of operations. Alkhara fled Tatooine, and was never seen again. However, his cruel ways were perpetuated by a ragtag group of bandits who caused minor trouble in the deserts during the height of the New Order.
(DS, ISU, IWST, SWGAL)
Alkhara Tower
This was the name given to the nine-story tower the overlooked the palace of Jabba the Hutt, on the planet Tatooine. The tower was named for the bandit Alkhara, who usurped the palace from the B'omarr Monks who were using it as a sanctuary. Alkhara refurbished the tower during his thirty-four-year control of the palace, although he left the B'omarr circular stairway in place. The stairway was created to allow the monks a maximum of walking space in a confining area, giving them planty of room to wander around in contemplation. At the base of the tower, many meters beneath the surface, was a sacrificial pit, into which the B'omarr monks threw the brainless bodies of enlightened individuals.
(IWST)
Alkharan Bandits
This ragtag gang of bandits caused trouble in the deserts of Tatooine during the height of the New Order. These bandits believed in the philosophies of Alkhara, the bandit who once ruled the deserts before Jabba the Hutt arrived on the planet. The Alkharan Bandits were often hired by Lady Valarian to do her dirty work, especially when she didn't want to be connected in any way to the actual crime. Their numbers were decimated shortly after the Battle of Yavin, when mercenaries hired by an unknown sponsor shot up their camp in the desert.

Alkherrodyne Propulsions
This corporation believed in producing products that failed in the field after a short period of time. This "programmed obsolescence" meant that customers would have to buy another of their products in a short time, ensuring future profits. This policy got them into trouble when they released the Azaria 66 unit for sale. The Azaria 66 began exploding under normal operating conditions, and Alkherrodyne was hit with a number of lawsuits. Alkherrodyne, looking for a scapegoat to avoid penalties and fines, fingered Klaus Vandangante as the engineer whose shoddy work led to the failure of the Azaria 66. They took Vandangante to court, and professionally and financially bankrupted him. This was a short-lived victory, though, for public concern with Alkherrodyne products led to poor sales and the eventual dissolution of Alkherrodyne altogether.

All Planets Relief Fund
This humanitarian relief effort was considered the pet project of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The goal of this legislation was to have the Senate create a central fund of credits that could be used to fund rescue or relief operations to member planets that had requested help from the Senate. Any world in peril could petition for funds directly to the Senate, thereby eliminating the bureaucracy that often surrounded the appropriation of funds for such efforts. After the law itself was passed, a huge ceremony was to held in which the Senators provided Chancellor Palpatine with a set of vertex crystals that accounted for all the funds collected to start the All Planets Relief effort. The ceremony was believed to have been targetted by Granta Omega and his cohorts, who were looking to achieve numerous goals. Of a secondary concern was the acquisition of funds. It was later revealed that the actual plan was the kidnapping of Chancellor Palpatine himself. They hoped to distract Coruscant security long enough to release the Zone of Self-Containment into the planet's water system, rendering the entire Galactic Senate unable to act against them. Lastly, they hoped to full discredit the Jedi Knights, who would take the blame if the ceremony was disrupted and the Senate infiltrated.

Allara
This young girl was one of a handful of Jedi Padawans from the Bergruutfa Clan who were captured and held prisoner on Belsus by General Grievous, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. Grievous was able to convince Count Dooku that the Padawans should be used as part of a strange experiment that would marry the ability to tap into the Dark Side of the Force with Geonosian technologies. Allara was the first of the group to stand up to Grievous, using the Force to pull out one of his captured lightsabers and destroy several battle droids before Grievous grabbed her by the arm. He then forced her to watch the destruction of an Ugnaught living center as a demonstration of the power he wielded against the Padawans. When Grievous confronted the younglings with his despicable plans, it was Allara who stood up to the cyborg general, demanding that he provide her with a lightsaber so that she could fight for her freedom. Grievous agreed, and would have cut the child down if Jadi Master B'dard Tone and Padawan Flynn Kybo had not arrived. In the ensuing battle, Allara and the rest of the Bergruutfa Clan were escorted to safety by Codi Ty. Their escape from Belsus was secured with the lives of Tone and Kybo.

Lando had taken Han and Leia Solo to Corellia aboard the pleasure yacht, in an effort to learn the truth behind the assassination attempt on the life of the Hapan Queen Mother, Tenel Ka. Their escape from Corellia was aided by Wedge Antilles and his comrades, who were working to get Wedge off-planet after he was nearly assassinated himself. The group included Mirax Horn, Iella Antilles, and Myri Antilles aboard the Pulsar Skate, and Wedge and Corran Horn in their X-Wing starfighters.

Alliance for the Creation of Habitable Environments
This Old Republic association regularly petitioned the Senate to set aside endangered or unusual locations, forbidding any corporate or military usage so that the natural environment could be maintained. Most often, the Alliance was acting to protect rare or endangered flora and fauna. The Alliance was brought into the galactic consciousness just after the onset of the Clone Wars, when Professor A. Rahring published A Galaxy Befuddled, which documented the leviathans of Dorumaa. The Dorumaa Research Institute, despite having many of the same goals as the Alliance, feared that Rahring's report was too sensationalistic, and might bring unwanted attention to the leviathans.

Alliance High Command
Formed from the Alliance Military High Command, the Alliance High Command became primary governmental and military body of the New Republic. Although its members were primarily military officers, it was believed that the fledgling New Republic needed military leaders more than political figures at the outset, in order to help solidify the New Republic's position in the face of the remnants of the Empire and other groups who tried to assume a measure of galactic control in the wake of the Battle of Endor. Mon Mothma sat at the head of the High Command, surrounded by the military and governmental advisors who played prominent roles during the Galactic Civil War. The original membership of the Alliance High Command included Jan Dodonna, Carlist Rieekan, Crix Madine, Admiral Ackbar, Leia Organa Solo, and Garm Bel Iblis. When Mon Mothma was poisoned by the Caridan Ambassador Furgan, and Ackbar was disgraced after the destruction of the Cathedral of Winds, Leia feared that the High Command would become a primarily military body, and begin using military force against every possible threat. After Ackbar was later cleared of any involvement in the Vortex incident and Mon Mothma recovered, the Command structure was adjusted slightly when Mon Mothma retired and Leia Organa Solo was named Chief of State.

Alliance Intelligence was formed from three main units: Counter-Intelligence, which included units that focused on security and information retrieval; Operations, which oversaw the operations of computer systems and passive operatives, and coordinated the acitvities of all units; and Intentions, which handled cryptology, analysis, equipment, and interrogations. Information was gathered from field oepratives that worked in small teams, or cells, that were connected to each other via a single individual. Each sector force had its own intellgence network, which was led by a case officer who reported directly to the Alliance Sector Command.

Alliance Military
The Alliance Military was formed to address the need for military action against the forces of the Galactic Empire. While the early leaders of the Alliance pushed hard to enact political reforms, it realized that there would be fighting involved in order to effectively eliminate the Imperial presence from the galaxy. Emperor Palpatine held sway through the threat of force and the sheer size of his military machine, forcing the Alliance to cobble together a rag-tag military force to oppose it. The original military structure was proposed by Bail Organa, and mirrored the structure of the Alliance itself. At the head of the military was the Alliance High Command, led by the Commander in Chief, a position that was filled by the current Chief of State. The C-in-C Was supported by the Minister of War and the Chief of Staff, and it was this triumverate that determined the operating instructions for the Supreme Allied Commanders. These commanders were assigned roles of leadership of Fleet Command, Ordnance and Supply, Starfighter Command, Support Services, Intelligence, Special Forces Command, and Sector Command.
(RASB, ROE)
Alliance Military High Command
The Alliance Military High Command was the heart and soul of the Alliance's military branches, complimenting the efforts of the Alliance Civil Government. Led by Chief of State Mon Mothma, who was the acting Commander in Chief, this body consisted of the Minister of War, the Chief of Staff, and all the Supreme Allied Commanders of the Alliance Military. The Military High Command oversaw the operations of Fleet Command, Starfighter Command, Special Forces Command, Sector Command, Fleet Intelligence, Ordnance and Supply, and Support Services. At the height of the Galactic Civil War, the Alliance High Command was comprised of less than 1,000 beings, which allowed it to be flexible and quick to respond to any threat from the Empire. With the Alliance's victory at the Battle of Endor, the Military High Command became the Alliance High Command, and began to assume a more civilian role in the government of the New Republic.

Alliance Remnant
This was the name used to describe the warships of the Galactic Alliance's Core Fleet that survived the Sith-Imperial War. Under the command of Admiral Gar Stazi, the Alliance Remnant made hit-and-run attacks against both Sith and Imperial forces, inflicting damage before taking too much itself, then fleeing into space.
(SWLH)
Alliance Sector Command
This branch of the Alliance Military High Command was charged with overseeing and coordinating the war efforts of the thousands of Sector Forces that supported the Alliance. Each of these sector forces was made up of planetary or sector military forces that were supplied to the war effort by their respective governments. Alliance Sector Command, often referred to as simply SecCom, ensured that the efforts of these sector forces supported and augmented the objectives of the Military High Command. Thus, the leaders of SecCom were often pressed into duty as political liaisons between the Military High Command and the local governments.
(RASB)
Alliance Security Task Force
This branch of the Alliance's military forces was charge with identifying any potential threats to the security of the Alliance. Throughout the era of the Galactic Civil War, the task force monitored primarily non-Imperial organizations, maintaining records of any military or paramilitary force that could challenge the goals of the Alliance. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, as the Alliance reformed itself into the New Republic and made a concerted effort to retake Coruscant and other planets in the Core Worlds, the Alliance Security Task Force was all but forgotten, as all military assets were deployed to restore control of the galaxy's Core. Reports from the task force were all but ignored, since all efforts were focused on the remaining elements of the Empire's military. Once Coruscant was retaken, the New Republic replaced the Alliance Security Task Force with the Department of Threat Assessment.
(SWJ15)
Alliance Special Forces Command
This branch of the Alliance Military High Command oversaw the efforts of the armies and ground forces that made up the Alliance's military.

Alliance to Restore the Republic
This was the name adopted by those individuals and planets that opposed Emperor Palpatine and his establishment of the New Order. The name was often shortened to simply the Alliance, although many beings referred to it as the Rebel Alliance, since it openly embraced rebellion against the Empire. To the men and women of the Empire, it was simply called The Rebellion. The symbol of the Alliance, a stylized raptor with upturned wings, came from the family crest of Kento and Galen Marek. It was Princess Leia Organa who suggested that this symbol be used, after Galen Marek sacrificed his life to ensure that the leaders of the Alliance escaped from Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine.
It was believed that the Alliance grew out of pockets of resistance to the New Order, and was promoted early on by Senators like Mon Mothma and Bail Organa, who quietly voiced their concerns during the era of the Clone Wars. Their desire to see the Old Republic restored as the rightful government remained nacent for many years, simply because Palpatine had become too strong to oppose, and the Jedi Order had been all but destroyed. Some historians also believed that the impetus for forging the Alliance was provided by Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, who had used Galen Marek as a pawn in a grand scheme to eliminate the Senators who were in opposition to the plans of the Empire. They allowed Marek to gather the Senators together, then attempted to eliminate them all in one attack. Marek's sacrifice allowed the Senators to escape, and his death served as the inspiration to continue the fight against the Empire. Regardless of the true roots of the Alliance, the tyranny and oppression of the Empire could only be hidden behind a veneer of peace for so long. Following Imperial attacks on Mantooine and Ghorman that occurred less than three years before the Battle of Yavin, the Alliance grew at a furious pace, linking disenfranchised humans with oppressed alien races.
While it promoted peaceful union of all races and planets, the Alliance realized that military might would be key to the Galactic Civil War. With Mon Mothma as the Alliance's Commander in Chief, supported by an Advisory Council, the Alliance was politically and strategically sound. The efforts of Mon Mothma were also supported by the Cabinet, which included ministers of state, finance, education, industry, supply, and war. Planetary governments that joined the Alliance were named part of the Allied Command, and retained their own governmental structures while supporting the Alliance. Following his rescue from Moff Tarkin, Ackbar was named the Alliance's Fleet Commander. Crix Madine used his military training to become the Alliance's Special Forces Commander, while Jan Dodonna became the Starfighter Commander. In addition to these positions, the Alliance recognized the need for a Sector Commander, Fleet Intelligence Officers, Ordnance and Supply teams, and Support Services. The leaders of the Alliance recognized that, if the war came down to sheer numbers, the Empire would win eventually. The Alliance was very cash-poor, and relied on its member planets, races and creeds to help fund its operations.
In order to fight back against the Empire, the Alliance relied on cunning and stealth at first, winning small victories while planting seeds of doubt in the Imperial mind. Following the destruction of the first Death Star at the Battle of Yavin, the Alliance became more than a rag-tag coalition; it became a legitimate threat to the Empire. Palpatine saw this, and sent the majority of his war machine in search of the Alliance. By moving quickly and quietly, the Alliance evaded Imperial pursuit, but took severe losses in doing so. When the Emperor allowed the plans to the second Death Star to be leaked, the Alliance jumped at the chance to overthrow the Empire. The combined might of the Alliance's members, coupled with Palpatine's greed and conceit, overcame the Imperial yolk, and the heart of the Empire was killed during the Battle of Endor. Following the clean-up operations from the Battle of Endor, the leaders of the Alliance re-established the Republic. Dubbed the New Republic, it embodied the ideals of the Old Republic while meshing in the renewed spirit of racial diversity.

Alliance-Confederation War
This was the term used by historians to describe the period of galactic history that immediately followed the Corellia-GA War. Led by Jacen Solo, who would later reveal himself to be Darth Caedus, the Galactic Alliance tried to keep the galaxy together when Corellia decided to secede. Solo's efforts only angered other planets and star systems, leading to the formation of The Confederation. When neither side of the conflict would agree to a cease-fire when Corellian, Bothan, and Commenor forces defeated Alliance warships at Corellia, the Alliance-Confederation War was begun with the events of the Battle of Gilatter VIII. The war encompassed the Battle of Kuat and Solo's devastation of the planet Kashyyyk, and was ended when Solo was killed by his sister, Jaina Solo.

Allie, Stass
A native of the planet Tholoth, this dark-skinned woman served as a Jedi Knight, during the final decades of the Old Republic. She later earned a promotion to the level of Jedi Master, during the height of the Clone Wars. It was Stass Allie who accompanied Tassida Judrelle to Cona, during the break-up of Lojrak Shrag's slat smuggling ring, just before the Battle of Geonosis. A rcousin of Adi Gallia, Stass Allie adopted many of the same fashion styles of her kin, though she also wore the headdress of her homeworld of Tholoth. Stass Allie was known as a competent fighter and field agent, but focused much of her training in the area of the healing arts.
After the Clone Wars broke out, Stass Allie was one of the many Jedi who were promoted to military positions, and it was during this time that she was also appointed a position on the Jedi Council. During the final months of the Clone Wars, Allie led the 91st Reconnaissance Corps a mission to Saleucami. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu. He then sent out communications to the various clone commanders to execute Order 66. Upon hearing the order, Commander Neyo and the troops serving under Stass Allie tried to open fire on her. She took off on a speeder, but was unable to shake their pursuit. A few well-placed shots caused Allie's speeder to explode, utterly destroying the Jedi Master. It was later reported on Imperial HoloVision that Master Allie had been killed while trying to rendezvous with a group of terrorists.

This was the middle of the three sectors that made up the Tion Cluster, being located between the Cronese Mandate and the Tion Hegemony. The capital world of the sector was Jaminere, and the sector included the worlds of Lianna, Lorrad, and Cadinth. The Allied Tion was considered the manufacturing and trade center of the Tion Cluster. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, the Allied Tion was also known for its connections to the various galactic travel agencies that provided tourists with trips across the stars. Up to fifteen percent of the galaxy's passenger liners were registered to worlds within the Allied Tion. This combination of manufacturing, trade, and travel led to a strong Imperial presence in the sector during the height of the New Order, as the Empire sought to control and protect one of its more valuable holdings.

This Jedi Master led a small task force of Jedi Knights and Republic soldiers during the Battle of Bothawui, some 3,671 years before the Battle of Yavin. Master Allusis was accompanied by seven dozen Jedi and 4,000 soldiers, but this force proved to be nothing compared to the 50,000 Sith warriors who returned to Bothawui after their initial defeat. Heavily outnumbered, Master Allusis and his task force fought with a bravery and valor that became the stuff of legend, destroying the Sith at every turn as the Sith commanders focused their attacks on a few ground locations. This allowed Allusis and his supporters to cut down the Sith as they advanced, but the sheer number of Sith soldiers soon overwhelmed them. Grand Moff Zellos eventually offered Master Allusis a chance to surrender, but Allusis knew that surrendering Bothawui would mean the Sith had gained a foothold in the Mid Rim. Bolstered by the Force, Allusis and the surviving Republic troops fought to the death. Their deaths were not in vain, however, as the losses suffered by the Sith forced them to retreat to their home bases, and Bothawui remained free.

This planet was discovered shortly after the Battle of Yavin, during an exploration mission funded by Radell Mining Corporation. Its ownership was disputed by the Scourge, a pirate gang who tried to claim it as their own. Radell had sent the Gray Griffins to follow up their exploration activities, but they were captured by the Scourge and held for ransom until a group of Alliance agents rescued them. Alluuvia was an ocean world whose waters were desne with metals and minerals that made it toxic to off-worlders. Alluuvia was also the homeworld of the Anguilla. The Empire's Imperial Mining, Limited, tried to establish a mining outpost on the planet, recognizing the concentrations of alanium, doonium, and zersium were enough to fund any operation. The Anguilla, led by Anyar, opposed the Imperial occupation, and with some help from the Alliance, they were able to drive off the Imperials. Anyar eventually agreed to allow Radell Mining Corporation to mine the planet, so long as the Ithorian Iych-thae were able to oversee their work.

She was the first being to train the native rancors as mounts, and was responsible for showing the first Dathomirian women how to use the Force. In this way, the Jedi Order's plans for Allya backfired, as she managed to create a new sect of Force users.

When the Empire invaded the sector, the Alliance was able to erase the data files in the central computer of Almar Upside, the planet's primary city. Dummy corporations were set up, and the planet remained outside of Imperial control. The Alliance then set up a number of listening posts on the planet, in an effort to obtain information on the Imperial forces nearby. Almar was a pleasant world, covered with tropical beaches, jungles, and wide plains of unusual orange grasses.

Almas
This world was the outermost planet in the Cularin System. In ancient times, Almas was the sixth planet in the system, but became the fifth when Oblis was destroyed many millennia before the onset of the Clone Wars. The Jedi Knights of the Old Republic discovered that the ancient Sith had established a fortress on the desert side of the planet, hoping to gather Dark Side energy from the Force-dense Cularin System. Analysis done in the years following the Battle of Naboo indicated that the fortress had been built 1,132 years prior, well before the Battle of Ruusan. One of Almas' moons also was known to be laden with unique crystals which the Jedi used in the creation of their lightsabers.
The fortress on the planet had been established by Darth Rivan, who was generally credited with bringing the kaluthin grass to the planet. At odd intervals, and often when a starship passed over its location, the central tower of the fortress would eject a huge bolt of lightning into the sky. When Darth Rivan first arrived on Almas, the planet's atmosphere was filled with poisonous gases like phosphorus and methane, so he developed the kaluthin to help alter the atmosphere. The kaluthin was a success, given that all Almas' water was located underground, and continued to thrive after Darth Rivan was driven from the planet during the Sith Wars.
Over the centuries, the kaluthin spread across the planet and created an atmosphere which was so high in oxygen it was almost toxic to humans. The grass also gave the planet a distinct aural glow, mainly from the phosphorus it consumed. This living growth was unusually countered by the Dark Side energy on the planet, which originated in the desert region and slowly spread. The Jedi of the Old Republic determined that the desert area would eventually consume the fertile kaluthin plains, utterly destroying the planet's surface.
During the height of the Clone Wars, Almas was the site of a battle between unknown forces, and much of the planet's surface was laid to waste. No being, on either side of the conflict, survived the battle, leaving Almas a dead world.
(LFC, LFCW, BIT3, EGF)
Almas Academy
This was the name of the Jedi training compound established on the planet Almas 145 years before the Battle of Naboo. Its original founding was watched closely by the Jedi Council, which feared that the Academy's proximity to a source of Dark Side energy would be catastrophic to its student. However, Nerra Ziveri proposed that the schools' proximity to the Sith fortress on Almas would serve as a constant reminder to all students of the dangers of the Dark Side of the Force. The buildings of the Almas Academy were located in the very center of the city of Forard.
Although the teachers and leaders of the Almas Academy remained loyal to the Jedi Code, they often broke with established tradition. For instance, they regularly admitted students that were older than those chosen for training on Coruscant, since it was believed that all Jedi could learn something from the experiences and wisdom of non-Jedi.
As the Clone Wars erupted across the galaxy, the Almas Academy steadfastly refused to become involved, claiming that its place was in the Cularin System. The Academy's leader, Jedi Master Lanius Qel-Bertuk, obeyed nearly every order the Jedi Council gave him, but refused to have the Academy decimated by the war. When the Jedi Council officially ordered the Jedi Knights and Masters of the Almas Academy to report to Coruscant for assignment with the Grand Army of the Republic, Master Lanius and many of the Academy's teachers chose to invoke the Right of Denial, despite the fact that it constituted an act of treason.
When Master Darrus Jeht returned to Coruscant with those Jedi who answered the call of the Council, he carried with him a cargo of surrendered lightsabers from those Jedi who invoked the Right of Denial. Many of those Jedi who remained on Almas were later armed with a lightsaber that had been crafted by Felanil Banks, in defiance of the true nature of the Right of Denial. As the Clone Wars ground on, Master Jeht found himself under the watchful eye of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, who questioned the motives of the Jedi Order and the leaders of the Almas Academy.
In the wake of the destructive battle near Kromus, Master Jeht took his small fleet and returned to Almas. There, he positioned the Maelstrom and her fleet in orbit around the planet, blockading it from incoming and outgoing traffic. He then demanded that Master Qel-Bertuk discuss the situation before ending the blockade. While this was happening, the Almas Academy was shut down, and all its activities were moved to a temporary facility in Gadrin, on Cularin.
When Palpatine established his Galactic Empire, the Almas Academy was bombarded from orbit by Imperial forces, leaving behind little more than rubble where the facility once stood. The presence of the Dark Side of the Force began to overtake the location, eventually converting it into another Dark Side nexus.

This man served as the Prime Minister of the planet Mandalore, during the height of the Clone Wars. When Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived on Mandalore to investigate the rumors that Duchess Satine Kryze was amassing a huge army, Almec met the Jedi Master when he arrived at the city of Sundari. Almec was adamant that the Duchess was committed to peace, and explained that the more violent members of Mandalorian society had been exiled to the moon Concordia. Almec also believed that Jango Fett had been little more than a bounty hunter who had stolen Mandalorian armor to heighten his own image. When Kenobi arrived at Sundari, Almec tried to reassure him that Mandalore remained loyal to the Galactic Republic, despite Duchess Satine's position of leadership on the Council of Neutral Systems. His concern about Mandalore's position only increased when it was learned that Pre Vizlsa was actually leadering the Death Watch. Almec feared that the general population of Mandalore would support the Death Watch, if Duchess Satine allowed the Galactic Republic to meddle with Mandalorian politics.

Almost Authentic
This was the name of a Surronian L19 freighter stolen by a group of pirates from Imperial Moff Aricos Dreleene. He had hoped to obtain an L19a special edition, but discovered that his "bargain" was a run-of-the-mill L19. He invested a huge sum of credits to have outlaw techs refit the ship to appear to be a true L19a, including modification of the serial numbers and transpoder codes, and Dreleene was able to pass it off for many years. However, a band of pirates saw the First Edition and captured it, thinking they had acquired an L19a. After learning that it was a fake, the pirates turned the Moff and the ship over to the Alliance. The Alliance refitted the ship, and renamed it the Almost Authentic. The Alliance armed the ship with the stock twin blaster cannons as well as a turret-mounted ion cannon.

Alora
This Twi'lek was Tavion's apprentice, learning the ways of the Dark Side of the Force as a member of the Disciples of Ragnos, during the early years of the New Republic. Alora was first encountered by Luke Skywalker at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, when the Twi'lek managed to infilitrate the temples and hack information from Master Skywalker's computer. When the cult was discovered by Jaden Korr and Rosh Penin, Tavion was able to capture on convert Penin to their cause. Jaden Korr remained free, and managed to track Alora to Hoth, where she had been following the trail of Master Skywalker to Dagobah. A brief fight ensued, but Alora was allowed to escape when Kyle Katarn prevented Jaden from killing her. Although Alora returned to the service of Tavion, she again encountered Jaden, this time on Taspir III. Alora initially chose not to fight Jaden directly, instead sending hordes of Disciples to confront him. Jaden was up to the challenge, however, and eventually reached the location where Rosh Penin was hiding. Alora then revealed that the entire situation was a trap to capture the Jedi, and forced Jaden to choose between his loyalties: he could either give in to the Dark Side of the Force and slay Penin for lying, or he could remain on the Light Side and give up his fight. Jaden chose the Light Side, which angered Alora. She killed Penin on the spot, then challenged Jaden herself. Unfortunately for Alora, she underestimated Jaden's strength, and the Jedi Knight was able to defeat her in combat.

Alpha
This was the nickname used by Anakin Skywalker to describe the clone trooper designated A-17, during the defense of Naboo, during the Clone Wars. Anakin chose to call the trooper Alpha, since he seemed to be much more than a simple clone. During the Battle of Jabiim, Anakin use the Force to draw away the droid army protecting the Separatist base, so that A-17 could set of a huge explosion to destroy it, cutting off Durge's only way to launch an attack on Naboo. However, the explosion was bigger than A-17 had anticipated, and he was disabled in the blast. This allowed Durge to injure A-17 before Anakin could intervene, but Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi managed to drive Durge and Asajj Ventress off Ohma-'Dun. A-17 continued to serve with Anakin during the Battle of Jabiim, but he began to chafe at the Jedi's orders to keep as many Separatists alive for questioning. A-17 began to openly question Obi-Wan's leadership on Jabiim, suggesting that the Republic's forces should simply kill every rebel and political leader, thereby ending the hostilities once and for all. Asajj Ventress managed to capture both Obi-Wan and Alpha on Jabiim, and she transported them both to Rattatak for interrogation. Ventress mercilessly tortured them while hoping to turn them over to Count Dooku as gifts. Kenobi and Alpha managed to escape, with some help from Ki-Adi-Mundi and Anakin Skywalker, before returning to Coruscant. Alpha was later recalled to Kamino, to serve as the instructor for a new batch of clone commanders. He agreed to take Anakin's suggestion of unique names for the clone to Kamino. During the initial attempt to retake Boz Pity, Alpha was badly injured when he confronted General Grievous. With his spine broken and his body badly damaged, Alpha asked Anakin for a weapon to fight until his death.
(RNFW, SWDB, RHF, O)
Alpha
This was one of the common designations used by the targetting computers installed on Imperial warships to identify a group of Imperial starfighters. Because most Imperial starfighters, like TIE Fighters, were mass-manufactured, their transponders codes were often little more than a group of letters and numbers. In order to distinguish these ships from enemy vessels during a battle, Imperial targetting computers assigned all fighters in a given unit to a specific group, each with a specific designation. The first group discovered by the targetting computer was usually assigned to the Alpha group, and the ships within that group were also given a numerical identifier, such as Alpha 1. In situations where starfighters from two or more base ships were participating in a battle, the designation Alpha was preceded by a character that was unique to the base ship.

Alpha Point
This was the codename used by the members of the Jedi Order and their closest friends to describe the secret medical base that was established on Shedu Maad, some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Alpha Point was set up to serve as a holding facility and medical research center, after many young Jedi Knights began experiencing strange, Force-related psychosis. The affected Jedi were believed to have been stationed at Shelter base, in the Maw cluster of black holes, during the era of the Yuuzhan Vong War. The Galactic Alliance was arrested two of the affected Jedi, Valin and Jysella Horn, and had encased them in carbonite to prevent them from doing any more harm. Jedi Masters Cilghal and Tekli realized that the other affected Jedi would not be safe in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, and so the former Jedi base on Shedu Maad was retooled to serve as their research center.

Alpha Red
This was the codename of the experimental group created by the New Republic Intelligence agency, and charged with performing covert research into the Yuuzhan Vong biology. Led by Doctor Joi Eicroth and staffed by a group of Chiss scientists, Alpha Red was a logical spinoff of the Alpha Blue team. Primary among the goals for Alpha Red was the discovery of how the Yuuzhan Vong genetic structure worked, and what could be done to attack them at the physiological level. The formation of Alpha Red could be traced almost back to the point at which the Yuuzhan Vong captured Belkadan, and was aided by people like Danni Quee. After much research, Alpha Red learned that the Yuuzhan Vong genetic makeup was very similar to that of most beings in the galaxy. However, a unique strand of genetic material was found in the Yuuzhan Vong body that was shared with every known form of Vongformed life. This discovery allowed the Alpha Red team to develop an airborne pathogen that could attack this unique string of genes and infect the Yuuzhan Vong and their creations. The virus was believed to have been shelved after Vergere destroyed the original sample, but the blueprints for its creation were never erased. A new strain was devised and secretly unleashed on Caluula, shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong surrendered at Coruscant. The strain proved effective in killing the Yuuzhan Vong and their bio-technology, but it also killed off swarms of flitnats and much of the winged-star population. For this reason, the Alpha Red project was ultimately scrapped.
(DW, UF)
Alpha Red
This was the codename given to the biological pathogen developed by the New Republic Intelligence team, also known as Alpha Red, to work against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Alpha Red pathogen was an airborne killer that attacked only those forms of life which contained the unique genetic strand that was found in all Vongformed life. It had a latency of about five days, giving the pathogen a chance to locate the genetic target. Then, it attacked the host on a cellular level, breaking down cellular material until the body's tissues became liquid. This liquid was laden with the Alpha Red pathogen, which could then be passed on to other individuals. Dif Scaur and the NRI planned to deploy Alpha Red from the air, confident that it would selectively attack Yuuzhan Vong and leave the galaxy's own lifeforms alone. They reasoned that the use of Alpha Red against the Yuuzhan Vong was no different than the ways in which the alien invaders destroyed Ithor and Coruscant. They also believed that another Yuuzhan Vong attack of biochemical nature could be thwarted by the Alpha Red pathogen, before it could take hold on a target world. Their plan met with stern opposition from the Jedi Knights, but was supported and approved by Chief of State Cal Omas. The Fosh Jedi Knight Vergere had other plans, however, based on her fifty years of experience with the Yuuzhan Vong. She managed to steal the only viable sample of Alpha Red from its secured location - an action that many military people believe was abetted by Jacen Solo - and change it into something harmless. The genetic blueprint of the Alpha Red virus was maintained, however, and work began shortly after the Battle of Ebaq to rebuilt it. In a secret activity, the Bothan Intelligence agent Wraw was inserted into Team Meloque, with the specific mission to deploy the new virus on Caluula to test its effectiveness. The test worked almost too well, as the winged-stars which were native to Caluula died off, along with the Yuuzhan Vong and their bio-technology. For this reason, the Alpha Red project was ultimately scrapped after the Yuuzhan Vong surrendered at Coruscant, shortly after the test on Caluula.

Alpha TR-8
This was the codename for the Imperial prison facility located on the planet Rordak. Alpha TR-8 maintained a perfect record of no escapes during the Galactic Civil War, although later inspection of the facility's plans revealed that escape was possible. At maximum capacity, Alpha TR-8 could hold more than 5,400 prisoners, all of which were forced to work in a nearby barthierum mine.

Alpha-1733 Mu-9033
These were the standardized coordinates of the hut that was inhabited by Obi-Wan Kenobi, during the years following the Clone Wars. These coordinates identified a location near Ben's Mesa, which was found in the southwest corner of the Dune Sea, in the first quadrant of Tatooine. Although many beings knew that Kenobi lived in the area, most beings knew him as Ben Kenobi, a crazy old wizard who kept mostly to himself. The small hut and surrounding land was listed as unowned on official records, which allowed Kenobi to remain on the planet without a paper trail to connect him to the hut. He then used the Force to embue the entire property with a subtle form of deterrant, a kind of uneasiness that touched beings on a subconscious level and made them avoid the property. Luke Skywalker later located the hut, and the Force gave him the impression that the property was actually telling him to go away.

This unit of the Grand Army of the Republic was lost in combat, during the height of the Clone Wars. Jedi Master Mace Windu was dispatched to locate them, only to discovered that their dead bodies had been re-animated as zombies by the strange witch known as Countess Rajine. Master Mindu later discovered the holocron of the Jedi Knight Samuro, which contained the life energies of every being Rajine had turned into a zombie. When these life energies were released, the zombies turned on Countess Rajine and killed her. Without her control, the zombies eventually - finally - died. Master Windu then reported that the Alpha-2 Squad had been located, but all clones were dead.

Alpha-class ARC Trooper
This was the name given to the first 100 clone troopers that were produced from the pure Jango Fett genome by the Kaminoans, during the early development of clones for Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. The Alpha-class troopers were developed from the lessons learned in the development of the so-called Null-class ARC troopers, whose existence was a carefully-guarded secret. It was rumored that the Kaminoans had ordered that the Alphas were to eliminate the Nulls before they could grow up, but Kal Skirata intervened. The Alpha ARC Troopers proved to be utterly loyal to Jango Fett, even after Fett's death at the Battle of Geonosis. Many clone commandos believed that the Alpha-class ARCs had been scared to death of Fett, and of disappointing him.

Alsakan
This planet was founded before the advent of the Old Republic. It was settled by the colonists who left Coruscant aboard the Kuat Explorer and began to explore the Core. Over the years, the inhabitants made war on each other with regularity and passion, and even tried to take control of Coruscant in a series of battles known as the Alsakan Conflicts. The wondrous warships used in these battles were later to form the design basis for the Invincible-class dreadnaughts. Alsakan saw brief combat during the Clone Wars, when the forces of the Old Republic's Victory Fleet attempted to stop the Bulwark Fleet of the Separatists. When Emperor Palpatine rose to power and formed the Empire, Alsakan supported the New Order. It surrendered quickly to the New Republic, however, when Admiral Ackbar came to recover the planet.

Alsakan Tessent
This was the term used to describe the version of the Tessent that was attributed to the ancient Kings of Archais who united the tribes of Alsakan. Like the Ayrou Tessent, it resembled a large farlus hawk with the head of a felinx. According to legend, the Alaskan Tessent was a representation of the guardian of Saml Previl and the ancient Kings of Archais, who united Alsakan under a common leader. The Alsakan Tessent was a symbol of patriotism, although many treasure hunters believed that it was also the key to unlocking an ancient storehouse full of riches. The Alsakan Tessent disappeared sometime later, and several legends and rumors of its final resting place were told throughout Moddell Sector. One rumor held that it reappeared in the possession of a member of the Guard of Aldera during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Guardsman was part of the team which estalished the orbital telescopes around Ast Kikorie, but was on a shuttle that was ferrying supplies from Ast Kikorie when it crashed back onto the planet. The Guardsman kept the Alsakan Tessent close to his downed ship, preferring to live in anonymity rather than revealing what he possessed. Another rumor claimed that the Alsakan Tessent was stolen in ancient times by Jilst Bindalin, who died on Sarafur with the Tessent in his possession. Note that Star Wars Gamer, issue 9, also claims that this particular Tessent was of Alderaanian origin.

This religious site was founded just outside Colony One, on Ylesia. Located at the foot of the Mountains of the Exalted, the Altar was the site of the daily devotions performed by the t'landa Til for the pilgrims which flock to the planet. This religious ceremony was actually a ruse perpetrated by the t'landa Til, who simply used resonant pouches in their necks to create vibrations which affect the sensory areas of the brains of other sentients. After the Yuuzhan Vong took control of Ylesia and turned it over to the Peace Brigade, Thrackan Sal-Solo planned to rebuild the site as a temple for the Yuuzhan Vong to worship their gods.

This was the term used by the Jedi Knights to describe the ability to use the Force to project an image into the mind of another being. Most often, this image was simply an altered perception of reality, but it could also be an illusion that could influence the being. This technique was considered both useful and dangerous, since altering the mind of another being was considered to be tainted with the Dark Side of the Force. Many Jedi Masters trained their students to use alter mind only as a last resort, explaining that there were many les dangerous ways to resolve a situation that altering the mind of another being.

Altis, Djinn
This was the name of the Jedi Master who went to Chad and found Callista Masana, during the last years of the Old Republic. Master Altis, who worked from a training facility located in the clouds of Bespin, was one of several Jedi who were at odds with the Jedi Council over the entrenched restrictions and regulations that were enforced on the members of the Jedi Order. Master Altis refused to abide by the Master-Learner pairing, claiming that it was not always the case throughout the history of the Jedi. He also believed that the age restriction on accepting Padawan learners should be lifted, since there seemed to be no direct correlation between age and ability to be trained. Further, Altis allowed his followers to experience love and marriage, recognizing that love and attachment themselves were not inherently evil. Altis himself had once been married, although his wife, Margani, had never had a connection to the Force. Master Altis once referred to the Jedi Order as a corporation that was built on so many rules and regulations that it had forgotten its core business.
During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Master Altis and his followers agreed to help the Jedi Order in its defense of the Galactic Republic, insofar as it did not require them to abandon their beliefs. Master Altis had experienced several strange feelings in the Force, as if tiny pellets of hail were penetrating his skin and melting into cold water that ran down his spine. He knew that these feelings were the Force's way of telling him that something was wrong, and that the galaxy had need of every Jedi Knight who could answer the call. Their first missions were simply humanitarian in nature, using the cargo ship Wookiee Gunner to carry food, medicine, and supplies to planets that had been ravaged in the fighting. It was on a relief mission to Yarille that Master Altis sensed trouble on the planet JanFathal. Altis and his Jedi made a rendezvous with the crew of the Leveler, which included the Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano and the clone troopers of Torrent Company. During the mission to rescue Hallena Devis, Altis posed as a homeless man who was looking for his daughter, in order to get the strike team close enough to a group Athari rebels. Once the fighting began, Master Altis used his lightsaber defensively, and was shocked when Clone Captain Rex simply shot the man who was holding Agent Devis.
The extraction mission nearly succeeded, until the Leveler was intercepted by a Separatist destroyer and had to jump out of the system in order to survive. With their shuttle trapped between Separatist ships, it was Master Altis who recommended that they all returned to JanFathal and fight the ground forces, until reinforcements could arrive. One of the first to reach them was Ahsoka's Master, Anakin Skywalker, and Altis quickly discovered that the young man was very focused on another being. After the two men realized that they had both been friends with Qui-Gon Jinn, Altis began to sense Skywalker's roiled emotions, but he feared that helping Skywalker might anger the Jedi Council. In order to steal a starship for their escape, Master Altis once again posed as an old man, this time with Ahsoka posing as his daughter, as part of a ruse to distract the Neimoidian guards who were protecting the ship. After stealing the ship and returning to the Leveler, Master Altis had another discussion with Skywalker, and tried to help the young man understand his attachments and how to deal with them among the Jedi Council. He was careful to explain to Skywalker that he was not going to recruit him into the ranks of the Altisian Jedi, but that he would welcome him into their group if the Jedi Council were to expel him.
After leaving the Leveler and rejoining the crew of the Wookiee Gunner, Master Altis and his followers continued their trip to Yarille, where they were confronted with the horrible aftershocks of the war. Despite the brevity of the fighting there, the natives of the planet had seen their cities and towns leveled. They were forced to live in shacks that were constructed on the ruins of their homes, and they had to live among the dead bodies of their people and the clone troopers who had fought on the planet. Altis decided that he could not longer simply co-exist with the Jedi Order, and that he had to find some way to put an end to the Clone Wars. Later, Master Altis was rumored to have been one of the Jedi who served aboard the Chu'unthor before it was destroyed on Dathomir, although this was simply a twist of the truth. Master Altis purchased his own training ship and named it the Chu'unthor in honor of the ancient training ship that was lost on Dathomir. Rumor also had it that Altis died on Dathomir, in a battle with the Nightsisters, leading to some confusion about the original Chu'unthor's actual age.

Altis, Margani
This woman was once married to Jedi Master Djinn Altis. Before her untimely death, Margani had never experienced a connection to the Force. She saw it as something that was special about her husband, but this did not stop her from borrowing his lightsaber to trim away branches from the trees that lined their land.

Altisian Jedi
This was the term used to describe those Jedi Knights who followed the guidance and tenets of Jedi Master Djinn Altis, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Unlike those Jedi who served the Jedi Order, the Altisian Jedi welcomed the ideas of marriage, children, and attachement among its members. They believed that these ideas were not inherently evil, and were not direct pathways to the Dark Side of the Force. The Jedi Order and the Altisian Jedi existed simultaneously, with each group choosing to remain separate while still maintaining their own beliefs.

This world was the primary planet in the Roti-Ow System, and was the homeworld of the Avogwi (Altorian Birds) and the Nuiwit (Altorian Lizards). Discovered by Rego Mineral Company, it was a hot, dry planet whose lifeforms adapted unique methods of obtaining and collecting water. Its day lasted about 94 standard hours, which contributed to the arid nature of its surface. During the 47-hour "day," any water that collected on the surface would evaporate away.

Altronel, Ketrian
This woman, a native of the planet Hargeeva, grew up in a blue-collar family of cloth merchants. Her parents recognized her ability to learn and study, and worked hard to ensure that she had a thorough education. Ketrian chose to study the field of geology, and was awarded a scholarship to a university attached to the Imperial Academy. She excelled there, and was best known for her revolutionary ideas in the field of metal sciences. She was also a collector of swords and knives, as she was fascinated with the ways in which metal could be shaped to form the blades. She took up fencing, and through the sport she met Stevan Makintay. The two eventually fell in love, and Ketrian "branded" him with a scar on the cheek when he tried to break up a duel between herself and another woman who made advances toward him. Mak proposed marriage to her, which led to Makintay's disinheritance. After his father had him sent away to prison, he told Ketrian that Mak had left her for a life as a starfighter pilot. She felt betrayed by Mak, and fell deeply into her work at the Arginall Refinery. Her work with the minerals of the planet led to the discovery of how to increase the heat-absorption properties of ostrine ten-fold, which caught the attention of Nial Pedrin. She later saw Mak in a holovid depicting the results of his failed rebel uprising in Arginall City, but didn't get a chance to confront him until sometime later. Then, Mak brought along several members of his Alliance team, in hopes of convincing her to join him and the Alliance. She refused, and was captured with him as part of an Imperial raid and shipped off to a penal colony. When she learned that Pedrin had killed her good friend, Alikka Nolan, during an intense interrogation session, Ketrian began to doubt her loyalties to the Empire. Following their "rescue" from the Imperials by the Ghawem pirates, Ket rejoined Mak and became part of the Alliance, working out of Eyrie Base.

Altunen, Serifa
This Akranian woman was once a Jedi Master, serving the Jedi Order during the last decades of the Old Republic. However, when the Clone Wars broke out, Altunen abandoned the Order, claiming that the Jedi were supposed to be servants of the people, not the Galactic Senate nor the Grand Army of the Republic. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were dispatched to Arkania to bring her back to Coruscant, some thirty months after the Battle of Geonosis. Altunen had returned to her homeworld in protest, and was recommending to the government of Arkania to declare itself a neutral party in the war. The two Jedi were unable to convince her to return, and Altunen remained on Arkania.

Altyr V
This planet was the site of an intense battle during the Clone Wars, when clone commander Deviss and his meager forces destroyed a key Separatist ion cannon. Their actions allowed the forces of the Old Republic to rout the Separatists and reclaim control of the planet. Decades later, the New Republic maintained an outpost on this world, although the base was attacked by Imperial forces some seven years after the Battle of Endor. The Imperials were eliminated by Kyle Katarn, who was on Altyr V in search of information on the location of Dromund Kaas, during his mission to help Mara Jade become a true Jedi Knight. Some ten years after the end of the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, representatives from Altyr V joined the growing number of planets who openly opposed the formation of the Galactic Alliance Guard.

The Alwari were traditionalists at heart, and had adapted modern technology to their own uses. Even glowlamps were modified to flicker, like the natural flames used by their ancestors. When Ansion started thinking about seceding from the Republic, the Alwari were certain that the Republic - especially the Jedi Knights sent to Ansion to settle the dispute - sided with the city dwellers.

When Tiny F first posted a decrypted message form Jir Tramsig to the Cularin HoloNet, alyssaroxu was one of the few who initially thought it was a hoax. It was during this series of exchanges that alyssaroxu also started a running campaign to flame the slicer known as wampa1. In order to keep the immature slicer off the node, Alyssa sent three trillion copies of a picture of wampa1's mother and a gundark from wampa1's own HoloNet node.

Amaltanna
This planet was one of the multitude of worlds that was ravaged during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Bultar Swan led a team of clone troopers to the planet, where she hoped to defeat a Separatist supporter who had holed up in his fortress. The fortress was nearly impregnable, with walls made of durasteel that stretched for kilometers. The many-eyed owner had also installed additional bracing and support, hoping to make the fortress survive even an orbital assault. Automated defenses, both inside and out, protected all entries and passageways.
The owner of the fortress had turned the planet over to the Separatists in exchange for a huge payoff, and even the local peasants had rebelled against his tyranny. They were all killed in the attempt, as were most of Bultar Swan's supporting clone troopers, leaving her to enter the fortress alone. She had no plans of trying to capture the owner. Instead, she destroyed the fortress' primary systems, including life support, then left the owner to die inside.

Amanin
An alien race native to the planet Maridun, the Amanin were a race of tall, flat-bodied creatures with an impossibly agile form. Their long, thin trunks were punctuated by thin, gangly limbs that allowed them to become expert hunters in the jungle fringes they inhabited. Their unusual body shape made normal walking ungainly, but their ability to climb trees and roll along the ground made them swift in their natural environment. Vital organs within the Amani body were small, and were distributed throughout their bodies, making them difficult to kill. Many scientists also believed that Amanin could regenerate lost body parts an organs, giving them the ability to restore themselves to health. Important organs were also duplicated, and their brains were really a network of distributed bundles of nerves. Because the Amanin hunted in the dense jungles of their homeworld, their red eyes were adapted to seeing in low-light conditions. There was little difference noted between male and female of the species, and many xenobiologists questioned whether the Amanin were hermaphroditic. For additional protection against the smaller carnivores of Maridun, Amanin secreted a poisonous slime that matched their natural greenish body color. This coloration helped them blend into the grasslands of Maridun. The Amanin were a tribal people with a primitive level of technology when the Empire tried to garrison Maridun, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Most Amanin were skeptical and even fearful of high-technology items. When the Empire discovered Maridun, it wasted several companies in their first attempt to subdue the Amanin, as the Imperial forces were completely unprepared for the coordination of the Amanin, both in pre-battle planning and in actual combat. Eventually, however, the Empire prevailed, and managed to acquire Amanin slaves by pitting the tribes of Amanin against each other, with rivals supplying slaves from their enemy's tribes. After the Battle of Endor, much of Maridun fell under the control of smugglers, forcing the Amanin from their traditional homes and into the spaceports that popped up across the planet's surface.

Amanoa
This woman, who lived more than 4,000 years before the advent of the New Order, was the Queen of Onderon, and wife to King Ommin. For many years, Amanoa was unaware that Ommin had been studying the ways of the Sith, and specifically the teachings of Freedon Nadd. When she did find out, Amanoa tried to break the hold the Dark Side of the Force had on him, but failed utterly. Instead, Ommin brought her into the Sith magics and began training her. She had some ability to control the Force, and Freedon Nadd's presence allowed her access to the Dark Side quite easily. She became known as the "Dark Queen." She believed in a separation of the nobility from the exiles, and kept the Onderonians in Iziz away from the planet's other wild tribes until her daughter, Galia, fell in love with the Beastmaster prince, Oron Kira. Queen Amanoa was so enraged that she called upon Nadd and the Dark Side of the Force and tried to defeat the Beastmasters herself, but Master Arca returned her to the Light Side. The removal of the Dark Side energy killed her, and she was buried with Ommin and Freedon Nadd on the Dxun moon.

Their fear was heightened by the fact that the sun seemed to rise just after a group of A'Mar drank from the Wellspring, the source of all surface water on the moon. This fear, although tempered by an understand of how celestial bodied moved through space, gave rise to the ritual known as The Vigil.

Just before he was dispatched to locate a potential Padawan on the planet Lobaoc, Ambaln spent considerable time undercover in a criminal syndicate. His experiences there tainted his connection to the Force, bringing him into contact with the Dark Side of the Force. He secretly desired to start his own "Jedi Order", based on his newfound connection to the Force. Ambaln took the assignment to locate a young girl on Lobaoc, but planned to turn the child to the Dark Side as the first of his own students. Ambaln planned to sacrifice his loyal assistant droid, Z-N0, as part of a trap to throw off the Jedi team which was dispatched to Lobaoc to stop him. While the Jedi team managed to intercept him, Ambaln was able to escape into the watery depths of Lobaoc, taking the small girl candidate with him. They fled the planet aboard Ambaln's whitecloak fighter, and were never heard from again.

Ambase, Ring-Sol
A native of the planet Kynachi, this tall, silver-haired man was one of the many Jedi Masters who served the Jedi Order during the height of the Clone Wars. His hair had paled in color during his training and tenure at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, and the silver color belied his true heritage. About a year after the Battle of Geonosis, Master Ambase was called upon to investigate a piece of Separatist technology that was recovered from the wreckage of the warship Malevolence, and he was surprised and dismayed to learn that the technology had been produced by KynachTech Industries. Master Ambase was futher surprised when Supreme Chancellor Palpatine personally asked for his help in investigating the reason behind the use of KynachTech circuitry in Separatist technology. Ambase agreed to take the mission, although he demanded that his Padawan, Nuru Kungurama, remain on Coruscant and continue his training. The clone trooper unit led by Captain Lock was assigned to Master Ambase's mission, but as they set out to begin the investigation, Ambase had a sudden sensation that his Padawan was nearby, a sensation that became a strong contact when their task force reached Kynachi and was attacked by Separatist forces. Before he could do anything about his Padawan, however, Master Ambase and his clone troops were forced to abandon their ship and make their way to the planet's surface in escape pods. Ambase was injured and knocked unconscious when their escape pod crashed to the surface of Kynachi, and the clone troopers who were with him tried to carry him to a rendezvous point. They were intercepted by a Separatist battle droid patrol, and Master Ambase was taken captive and sent to a secure location, while the clones were imprisoned at the KynachTech Industries factory. Ambase's unconscious body was later recovered by Cad Bane, who had been hired by Darth Sidious to capture the Jedi Master and bring him to the fifth moon in the Bogden System.

Ambria
Perhaps best-known as the world which Jedi Master Thon tamed, Ambria was a ringed world in the Stenness System. When viewed from space, Ambria was a strikingly beautiful world of orange and brown surface tones, with a ring of violet ice and rock encircling the planet. On the surface, however, Ambria was barren and sparse, the result of an ancient Sith ritual gone wrong. A Sith sorceress had tried to harness the energy of the Dark Side of the Force that flowed in the planet, but was unable to control it. The energy exploded from her control, sweeping across the planet and scouring it of life. Those beings that survived the blast managed to eke out a meager existence, coaxing a few forms of plantlife to grow in the dusty soil. The ancient Jedi Knights dispatched Master Thon to Ambria, in an effort to try and restore the planet. However, the Dark Side of the Force had taken hold of the planet, and Thon was only able to push back the Dark Side into a single source, Lake Natth. Note that, at one point in Tales of the Jedi, Oss Wilum says that Thon rid the planet Arkania of the Dark Side, instead of Ambria. Master Thon lived on Ambria from that point until his death, keeping an eye on the lake and its denizens. The planet became a research location several millennia later, when BioTech Industries set up a campus there. Ambria was orbited by four moons.

Amedda, Mas
This imposing, blue-skinned Chagrian served as the Old Republic's Vice Chairman and the Speaker of the House in the Galactic Senate, serving under Chancellor Valorum and later under Chancellor Palpatine during the final decades of the Old Republic. He spent much of his free time studying the history of the galaxy, and maintained a wealth of information on the ancient Sith.
Mas Amedda assumed the position of Vice Chancellor less than a year before the Battle of Naboo, shortly after Valorum was first accused of violating the Amended Proprieties Bill. During this time, Mas Amedda managed to foil an assassination plot against Chancellor Valorum, and the two became good friends. During the crisis over the Trade Federation's blockade of Naboo, then-Senator Palpatine pointed out to Queen Amidala that Mas Amedda was another skilled politician who was only working for his own advancement, and was on the payroll of the Neimoidians' Trade Federation. However, in reality, Mas Amedda was quite loyal to Valorum and the laws of the Old Republic. He frequently reminded Valorum of the protocols required by the Galactic Senate, but was unprepared when Amidala called for a vote of no-confidence in Valorum's abilities. Mas Amedda tried to quell the uprising, but the unrest within the Senate pushed the vote to ratification.
After Palpatine was voted into office as Chancellor, Mas Amedda remained loyal to the honesty of the Old Republic, a trait which made him unpopular with many Senators and politicians. Over time, Amedda became one of Palpatine's closest advisors, and remained loyal to him throughout the conflict of the Clone Wars. It was believed that Mas Amedda was behind the assassination of Finis Valorum, a mission that Palpatine used to gauge his loyalty. Amedda's knowledge of the Sith was both drawn upon and expanded by Palpatine, and Mas Amedda was able to continue his research primarily because of funding that was diverted to him by Palpatine. When Palpatine assumed the role of Emperor and instituted the New Order, Mas Amedda remained by his side for a decade.

Amee
This six-year-old girl was born to enslaved parents on the desert world of Tatooine. Her family was owned by Yor Millto during this time. Growing up, she was a friend of young Anakin Skywalker. Two years before the Battle of Naboo, Amee lost her mother, Hala, to the slave raider Krayn. Amee and her father survived the attack. Two years later, before the Boonta Eve Classic podrace, Amee and Seek both believed that Anakin's homemade podracer would never fly. They were surprised and amazed to learn that Anakin eventually won the race, as well as his freedom, and left Tatooine to become a Jedi Knight. Amee, who had always been fond of Anakin, remained a close friend of his mother, Shmi, in the years that followed. Shmi often noted that Amee would swoon at the sight of every handsome young man.

Amelia
This was the alias adopted by Allana, the daughter of Tenel Ka, in the wake of the war between the Galactic Alliance and The Confederation, some forty years after the Battle of Yavin. In the final battle between Darth Caedus and the Jedi Order, it was reported that Allana had been killed aboard the Dragon Queen by an Imperial nanokiller virus. The Imperials had been able to get the nanokiller aboard the ship with the help of Ducha Requud, who had desired the title of Queen Mother for herself. Caedus died as he called to Tenel Ka through the Force, warning her of the impending attack, which allowed her to get herself and Allana to safety. However, knowing that there would be more intrigue in Hapan politics over the coming years, Tenel Ka reported that Allana had died in the attack. She then had Allana adopt the alias of Amelia, a young girl who had been orphaned during the war. Amelia had been found to be Force-sensitive, and was allowed to attend the Jedi academy for training. Han and Leia Organa Solo agreed to serve as Amelia's guardians, ensuring that no one would discover her true identity until the time was right.

Ament
This huge man and his sister, Jaren, encountered Darca Nyl on their homeworld, while the Jedi was on his way to Molavar track down the Dark Jedi Lycan, during the months following the Battle of Naboo. When Darca found them, they were being pursued by a group of speederbike riders intent on killing them. When Darca destroyed their pursuers, Jaren explained that she had been an ambassador among her own people, sent to the bikers to negotiate a truce. Ament had been her protection, but both were threatened with death and chased away just before they met up with Darca. However, after Jaren showed Darca how to call forth images from their campfire, Darca used the same skill to call forth images about Ament. It was then that Darca discovered the truth: Ament's simple appearance belied a deep-seated rage that often exploded when his sister was in trouble. Six years earlier, Ament had murdered thirty-one people before he was captured and sent to prison. Jaren had actually gone to help Ament escape from prison, and they were fleeing the authorities when they met Darca. Darca was forced to turn them both over to the bikers before traveling on to Molavar.

This green-skinned, Twi'lek female was trained in the Jedi arts by the noted Anx Jedi Master J'Mikel. When Master J'Mikel was attacked and killed on Coruscant by Aurra sing, Xiann was badly traumatized by the incident and its violence. After Aurra Sing was captured by Aayla Secura, Master J'Mikel's lightsaber was returned to Coruscant. Aayla Secura asked to personally deliver it to Xiaan, so that she could talk to her fellow Twi'lek about reconciling her feelings. Aayla gave the young Twi'lek a heart of fire that had been given to her by Quinlan Vos. Xiaan later returned the stone to Quinlan, giving him a link to Aayla during the time she was missing. Xiaan went on to become one of the many Jedi Knights who served as Generals during the height of the Clone Wars. Later, she was part of the force that was dispatched to Saleucami, and led the initial starfighter assault on the Separatist positions on the planet. During the battle, her ship took heavy damage during a strafing run by Separatist vulture droids, and Xiaan was unable to fully control her fighter. Rather than plunge needlessly into Saleucami's atmosphere, Xiaan sacrificed herself by plunging her dying ship into the massive planetary laser that was the primary defense of the Separatists. Her death resulted in the complete destruction of the weapon, allowing the naval forces under the command of Sagoro Autem to demolish the Separatist facilities from space.

Amidala, Padme'
This native of the planet Naboo was born with the name Padme' Naberrie, and took Amidala as a royal name-of-state when she was elected Queen. She was just fourteen standard years of age when she was voted into office as the Queen of Naboo. However, she was already a seasoned veteran of the planet's political scene, having served for two years as the ruler of the capital city of Theed. Note that issue 6 of the Star Wars Kids magazine claims Amidala was elected Queen at the age of twelve, not just city leader.
She was born to humble parents who live in a remote, mountain village, but quickly became enamored of the glamorous life of the city after visiting with her grandmother, Winama. Although this worried her parents, they also saw that she was quite special, and allowed her to continue her political training. After becoming Queen, she trained under Captain Panaka in the martial arts, and also agreed to use deception when necessary to ensure her safety. To this end, she favored heavy theatrical facepaint and an incredibly ornate wardrobe, but this was mainly for practical purposes. The facepaint and clothing helped mask her true appearance, which closely resembled that of her handmaiden, Sabe'. In times of crisis or danger, Sabe' often took the place of the Queen, while Amidala pretended to be a simple servant using her given name Padme' Naberrie.
Shortly after being elected Queen, she was thrust into the galactic forefront during the rise to power of Senator Palpatine and the crisis with the Trade Federation. She showed why she had been elected during the conflict, standing tall against the Neimoidians and traveling to Coruscant to petition her case to the Galactic Senate. However, political maneuvering was outside her scope, and she often deferred to Palpatine's judgement. This led her to fall into Palpatine's plan to discredit Chancellor Valorum, as she felt that the only way to save Naboo was to force Valorum out of office and replace him with a stronger figure. However, her experiences on Tatooine with Shmi and Anakin Skywalker had reduced her faith in the Old Republic anyway, and Valorum's lack of backbone in condemning the Neimoidian invasion only served to support her agreement with Palpatine's plan to remove Valorum from office. During her stay on Coruscant, Amidala realized that Jar Jar Binks - and the Gungans in general - were greatly misunderstood by the Naboo.
With Binks' help, she devised a plan to remove the yoke of Neimoidian control. Once her plea had been heard, Amidala returned to Naboo and forged an alliance with the Gungan leader Boss Nass, and together they were able to repel the droid armies of the Trade Federation and free Naboo from its blockade in the climactic Battle of Naboo. Following the completion of her two terms as Queen, Amidala stepped into the role of Senator to the Old Republic. She served Chommell Sector, including Naboo and its 35 neighboring star systems, after Palpatine was elected Supreme Chancellor of the Republic. Senator Amidala was one of the loudest voices in opposition to Chancellor Palpatine's call for a military solution to the growing movement toward secession from the Republic, forming the Campaign Against Republic Militarization in an effort to stave off full-scale war. However, two assassination attempts on her life took her back to Naboo, under the safekeeping of a more mature Anakin Skywalker. They then discovered, much to their dismay, that they were falling in love.
After surviving the Battle of Geonosis, Padme' and Anakin were married on Naboo, and were forced to keep their marriage a secret from everyone but themselves. The duplicity of their actions took its toll over time, as Anakin became more and more angry about having to hide their relationship. This anger spread to other aspects of Anakin's life, and Padme' began to see him slipping toward the Dark Side of the Force. She eventually confided in Obi-Wan Kenobi about her marriage, shortly after telling Anakin that she was pregnant with their first child. Obi-Wan agreed to help, but asked Padme' to try and keep Anakin from falling any further. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Anakin confided in her that he had done something terrible, and that he was going to travel to to Mustafar to destroy the Council of Separatists. Anakin said that it would finally bring them the peace the galaxy needed.
Padme' was distraught enough to follow Anakin, hoping to prevent any further violence or change in Anakin. Obi-Wan took the opportunity to stow away aboard her ship, in an effort to bring Anakin to justice. When Anakin discovered Padme', and then Obi-Wan, had followed him, he immediately became angry and jealous. Grabbing Padme' by the neck, he accused them of plotting against him. Anakin and Obi-Wan shouted at each other, with Obi-Wanb trying to explain that he was not involved with Padme', just worried about them. Anakin refused to believe them, and tossed Padme' aside in order to confront his former Master.
Padme' was then taken back aboard her ship by C-3PO, and Obi-Wan later returned to take them back to reunite with Bail Organa and Master Yoda. The group agreed that Padme' needed immediate attention, but needed to find a medical facility that was either sypathetic to the Jedi or remote enough to avoid Imperial notice. After landing at Polis Massa, Padme' was rushed to a meager hospital facility, where it was discovered that she was physically fine, but was nonetheless dying. It was also discovered that she was pregnant with twins, who were removed from her womb just before she died, seemingly from a broken heart. In order to ensure that the twins grew up in secrecy, Bail Organa arranged to have Padme's body returned to her family on Naboo, but was made to appear still pregnant. Her daughter was adopted by Senator Organa and his wife, while Obi-Wan took her son to live with Owen and Beru Lars.
In following with Naboo tradition, the identity of the father was not revealed, as an investigation would only serve to blemish her reputation. However, rumors swirled around the strange circumstances of her death. Outwardly, it appeared that nothing had happened, but an autopsy revealed that she had been strangled to death. The autopsy report also claimed that a single child had died with her, but no official cause of death was ever recorded for the infant. Many forensic experts hinted that the only way a being could be strangled without any external evidence remaining was through the use of the Force. Because Emperor Palpatine had claimed that the Jedi Order had been plotting to take over the galaxy, it was believed that Padme' died at the hands of the Jedi. Note that the Star Wars: Episode III Visual Dictionary indicates that Padme's family was not told of the pregnancy.

Ammuud
This planet was originally colonized by settlers from Thokos. There were seven colony ships that arrived, and the descendants from each ship formed the basis for Ammuud's seven major clans. A series of savage clan wars broke out, and lasted for nearly 10,000 years. About 100 years before the Galactic Civil War, the clans agreed to a cease-fire, and developed a governmental system based on the Ammuud Code. Years later, the planet was annexed by the Corporate Sector Authority and placed under its jurisdiction, but the governmental duties were subcontracted to the clans. Each clan leader, or Mor, then ruled as part of the planet's government. This coalition was very shaky, as the clans tended to play against each other in a perpetual power struggle. There were even aspects of the Ammuud Code that were used among the clans to ensure some level of fairness. The planet itself was heavily forested, with large oceans and two immense polar ice caps. Ammuud's day was slightly shorter than a standard day on Coruscant.

Ammuud Code
This was the name given to the set of rules and tenets which were used by the seven major clans on Ammuud as a set guidelines for their interaction. The Code kept the clans working as a coalition while it prevented them from killing each other outright, in bids for power and control. No one was above the Code, not even the clan Mors. The Code even contained several rules about duels among clans, and forbade any clan member from taking a duelist's place. However, offworlders and outsiders could be hired as a champion, in the event that a clan member was unable to meet the challenge of the duel. Note that Hand Solo's Revenge also indicates that there were only six Ammuud clans.

An amphibious assault vehicle used by the New Republic on Calamari, the Amphibion was designed and built by SedriMotors. Based on the Incom XM-21, the Amphibion was a quiet surface floater. Its low profile and quiet repulsorlifts allow troops to quickly and safely enter an aquatic battlezone. The Amphibion was lightly armored, and not equipped for heavy combat duty. This made them easy to produce in large quantities. If the Amphibion was required in combat situations, it was usually supported by other craft. The Amphibion measures 7.3 meters in length, and was armed with a single antipersonnal gun mounted in the rear. Hand-held weapons were stored in lockers inside the ship. The Amphibion can be mounted with an Atgar 1.4 FD P-tower.

Amphiboid

(HSR)
Amphistaff
This unusual reptile was native to the homeworld of the Yuuzhan Vong. Amphistaffs were literally grown in low groves, emerging in threes from a deep-rooted, leathery polyp. Even as juveniles, amphistaffs were strongly carnivorous, and their voracious feeding served to nourish the amphistaffs as well as the polyp on which they grew. Because their mouths were often smaller than their prey, amphistaffs used their teeth to tear the prey into small chunks. These chunks were small enough for the groundmouth of the polyp to consume as well, and the young amphistaffs often swept food into the groundmouth to help sustain the polyp. As the young amphistaff grew larger, it became too large for the polyp to support and broke itself away from the main plant. Wild amphistaffs then fed voraciously before rooting themselves int eh ground and transforming into polyps, repeatting their asexual reproduction cycle. If captured when they leave the polyp, young amphistaffs could be bonded to a Yuuzhan Vong warrior. A snake-like creature in its normal form, the amphistaff used a series of strange power glands to harden all or part of its body to the consistency of stone. This makes the creature a valuable form of spear to the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. It can also narrow its neck and tail before hardening, to form a kind of razor. This narrowing of the body results in an incredibly thin blade, which was honed even further by the life energies of the power glands being compressed around it. The edge of the amphistaff blade was measured in atoms, and it could slice through virtually any substance. The only known substance which could repel it was conduun crab armor. When relaxed, the Yuuzhan Vong warrior could use the amphistaff like a whip. The amphistaff was also highly venomous, and could accurately spit its poison into the eyes of an opponent twenty meters away. The poison blinds instantly, and causes a long, slow death if manages to seep into the target's pores. When hardened, the amphistaff was also impervious to the blade of a lightsaber. Later, in the campaign against the New Republic, the Yuuzhan Vong developed a species of amphistaff which could be implanted into a warrior's body for concealed transport. After the hostilities between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Galactic Alliance were resolved, and the Yuuzhan Vong were allowed to live on the planet Zonama Sekot, they found that amphistaffs and many other bio-engineered weapons simply reverted to their animal forms and fled into the forests. This was one way in which Sekot forced the Yuuzhan Vong to give up their lust for war and embrace a more enlightened existence.

Unfortunately, the Republic was unprepared for an attack Sith Lord Angral on the planet Coruscant at the same time, in which Angral managed to take the Supreme Chancellor hostage. Senator Am-Ris and Master Dar'nala were surprised when the leader of the Sith delegation, Lord Baras, explained that the Sith took control of Coruscant and the Chancellor in order to ensure that the peace talks were carried out on terms that were defined by the Sith. Senator Am-Ris stalled for time in which to communicate with Coruscant, but all transmissions were met with silence. Master Dar'nala managed to contact one of her superiors, Master Zym, who was forced to agree that the negotiations would have to be carried out on Sith terms. Ultimately, Senator Am-Ris acceded to the demands of Lord Baras, and the Sith Empire was able to gain control of the galaxy. Upon returning to Coruscant, Am-Ris was besieged by angry meetings and communications from other Senators and planetary representatives who felt that the Republic was abandoning them to the Sith Empire. Senator Am-Ris was also forced to relay the news that the Jedi Temple on Coruscant would not be immediately rebuilt, so that any available funds could be funneled into public projects that maintained the welfare of the Republic's citizens.

Amulet of Kalara
This Sith artifact resembled little more than an oval jewel hanging from a silver chain. The jewel itself was created from three separate materials. The outer portion was a knobby, gray stone that appeared to have been purposely chosen as a counterpart to the central stones.. A clear, rectangular, red gemstone formed the center of the jewel, with a lustrous, black stone being located on either side. The entire set of stones was bound together with silver, giving it the appearance of red, feline eye.
The Amulet was believed to have been created around 2,000 years before the onset of the Corellia-GA War. It was imbued with the Dark Side of the Force, which kept it from tarnishing, but it could only be activated through a secret procedure. Once activated, the Amluet of Kalara made its bearer invisible to other Force-sensitive individuals. This strange power even allowed the bearer to use with Force without being detected by another Force user.
Because its power was known only to the Sith, the Amulet of Kalara became little more than a valuable artifact at some point during the history of the Old Republic. It passed from owner to owner, until it was acquired by Lando Calrissian and displayed at the Tendrando Arms facility on Almania, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Jacen Solo sent Ben Skywalker on a mission to recover the Amulet, some ten years later, although the mission was monitored by the Dark Lady of the Sith, Lumiya. However, whan Ben finally infiltrated the Tendrando Arms facility, he found that the amulet had been stolen by someone known as Faskus of Ziost.
Ben tracked Faskus to Ziost, only to find that the man had been killed and his daughter, Kiara, had been left behind. Ben managed to rescue Kiara and recover the Amulet, avoiding a group of beings who were intent on killing them by escaping in a Sith Meditation Sphere. Unknown to Ben, however, was the fact that the mission had been little more than a feint by Jacen to get Ben away from Coruscant, thereby drawing the attention of Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker away from Jacen's activities.

He left his position as owner of the Jmin Survival Academy and returned to GOSS to redeem himself, and hoped to challenge each and very surviving member of Twilight Class to a personal duel. Lunkar An hated Sisquoc, but absolutely abhored Ma'w'shiye, and hoped one day to reclaim his place in the GOSS recordbooks. Note that Galaxy Guide 12 claims Lunkar An was a survival instructor for the Alliance, during the Galactic Civil War.

An Examination and Exploration of a Most Dangerous and Resilient Organism
This paper on the lifecycle of the orbalisk was written by Doctor Osaf Hamud, many years before the Battle of Ruusan. One of the only copies of this document was stored in the Jedi Archives, and was eventually discovered by Zannah, during her search for ways to help her Master, Darth Bane, overcome the orbalisks that had infected his body. As described, the process was quite dangerous, since it involved the use of electrical shocks that were sufficient enough to kill the orbalisk quickly, without harming the host being.

Anachro
This Hutt was the daughter of Orko, a H'uun who was an enemy of Gorga the Hutt. Gorga wanted to marry Anachro, and placed a bounty on Bar-Kooda, who was pirating Orko's ships. He hired Boba Fett to bring the pirate back in one piece, so that Bar-Kooda could be served to Orko during an engagement dinner. This pleased Orko immensely, and he gladly gave Anachro's hand in marriage to Gorga. They were married on Tatooine, and honeymooned on the planet Skeebo. There, Anachro was kidnapped by the Skavers and Kaptain Voor, who hoped to gain a huge ransom for her. Gorga once again called on Boba Fett, who encountered Ry-Kooda as well as Voor, and managed to eliminate both of them. Anachro was returned to Gorga's side, and was soon found to be pregnant. She hoped that this would bring her father and her husband together, but events unfolded around her that left her father dead and herself under attack by Ry-Kooda. Boba Fett intervened before the Koodan could reach her, saving her from certain death. She gave birth shortly thereafter.

Anak, Keeth
This Zabrak and his sister, Odon, were terrorized by their father as children, after he came to believe that they were responsible for the death of their mother. Keeth eventually could take no more of his father's angry abuse, and killed him. Keeth and Odon then left Iridonia behind and set out to join the Unseen, where they were trained by Sereth Udak. They became bounty hunters and vigilantes, and Keeth became known as much for his tracking skills as his own angry treatment of his targets. He still harbored a great deal of resentment and ill-will after the murder of his father, and Keeth often took out his anger and aggression on his victims. His skills as a bounty hunter seemed to stem from a connection to the Dark Side of the Force, which only seemed to deepen and strengthen with each kill he made.

Anakin Solo
This black-hulled Imperial II-class Star Destroyer was the first of a new generation of the venerable warship lined to be produced by the Galactic Alliance navy, during the years following the Swarm War. It was assigned to the Galactic Alliance Guard, and its name was chosen by the leader of the GAG, Jacen Solo, in honor of his brother. However, the naming of the vessel was not taken lightly by Jacen's family, who believed that he dishonored Anakin's sacrifice at Myrkr by using his name for the GAG's flagship.
In addition to the standard weaponry of a Star Destroyer, the Anakin Solo was also equipped with a gravity well projector along its underbelly. It was also equipped with a cloaking device, in the shape of a large cone-shaped structure that poked from the ship's dorsal ridge. While the exterior was matte black, the interior of the ship was painted blue and white, denoting its status as a vessel of the Galactic Alliance. Crewmembers wore the standard blue-and-gray uniforms that were common on other Star Destroyers.
The weapons systems of the Star Destroyer were considered state of the art, but drew so much power from the ship's generators that many other electrical systems had to be switched over to battery backups in order to fire them during combat. The vessel's maiden voyage was to the Hapes Cluster, following an assassination attempt on the life of the Queen Mother, Tenel Ka. There, the ship was forced into battle against the naval forces amassed by the Heritage Council, which tried to forcibly take control of the Hapes Cluster. The appearance of the Anakin Solo, which was under the command of Captain Twizzl, bolstered the forces of the Galactic Alliance, and their combined might was able to defeat the renegade Hapans.
However, during the fighting, Jacen ordered his gunners to fire on the Millennium Falcon, as he still believed that his parents had been involved in the original assassination attempt. Although the freighter escaped, Jacen remained convinced that his parents were part of the plot. The Anakin Solo returned to Coruscant for minor repairs, before it was dispatched as part of the Galactic Alliance fleet that was dispatched to Gilatter Eight, where it was hoped that the GA could trap the gathering members of The Confederation. The meeting was actually a trap laid by The Confederation's new Supreme Commander, Turr Phennir.
Jacen, who was in the Gilatter System to infiltrate the meeting, was able to warn the GA fleet of the trap. This allowed the Anakin Solo and the other warships to avoid the majority of the mines that had been laid in their path, and ultimately escape from the battle without major damage.
Unknown to the crew, Jacen Solo and outfitted a suite of rooms aboard the Anakin Solo for Lumiya's personal use, when she needed to discuss her plans with Jacen in relative secrecy. This chamber became Jacen's refuge after he killed Mara Jade Skywalker and assumed the title of Darth Caedus. From this chamber, he guided the huge ship during the Battle of Kuat, then led the entire Fifth Fleet to Kashyyyk, where Jacen hoped to apprehend the members of the Jedi Order who had defected from the Galactic Alliance. When the Wookiees refused to turn them over, Solo ordered the Anakin Solo's gunners to fire on the planet's surface, causing a number of devastating fires in an attempt to make Kashyyyk an example of what happened to planets that defied the Galactic Alliance.
However, the Wookiees launched their own response, and were surprised to find support from a Confederation flee that had tracked the Anakin Solo to Kashyyyk. Faced with an overwhelming enemy force, the Fifth Fleet regrouped around the Star Destroyer, and had to fight their way through when Supreme Commander Cha Niathal refused to send reinforcements to help them. The crews believed that they might survive when the Hapan Home Fleet arrived, but that hope turned to fear when the Hapans sided with the Jedi, and opened fire on the Anakin Solo.
The battle appeared to be decided, when the Bothan fleet arrayed against them suddenly broke ranks and rushed at the surviving ships. This gave Solo and his ships a chance to escape, and it was in the heat of battle that Jacen learned it had been Alema Rar who influenced the actions of the Bothans. Captain Twizzl was accidentally killed during the battle by Ben Skywalker, who was being held captive by Jacen and was rescued by his father, Luke Skywalker. Twizzil was later succeeded by Captain Kral Nevil, who commanded the ship when Jacen agreed to a rendezvous with Corellian leaders, ostensibly to discuss a truce. However, the rendezvous turned out to be a trap, and the Corellians used the Centerpoint Station repulsor to fire a blast at the rendezvous point. A large portion of the Second Fleet was destroyed in the blast, along with a sizable part of the Corellian fleet. The hyperdrive on the Anakin Solo was badly damaged by the passing gravity wave, and the ship had to return to Coruscant at sublight speeds. Her holds were filled with starfighters and other survivors of the attack, making transit time back to Coruscant even slower.
After being repaired and refitted, the Anakin Solo was placed at the forefront of a mission to recapture the planet Fondor. Jacen, who had finally admitted to Admiral Niathal that he had become the Sith Lord known as Darth Caedus, had planned to ring Fondor with space mines, trapping her fleet and allowing the Galactic Alliance's forces to take control of the orbital shipyards. Captain Nevil was not given all of Solo's plans for the battle, and had to operate from a basic set of rules of engagement. This put additional stress on his ability to command, which was only compounded when they discovered that the minelayers which had been sent to Fondor had been destroyed. Making matters worse was the fact that the Jedi were hiding the entire Fondorian fleet through the Force, allowing them to attack the Galactic Alliance vessels with the element of surprise.
With his plans falling apart, Jacen broke from the ranks and began attacking the cities on the planet's surface. A handful of Galactic Alliance commanders followed him, but others remained in orbit with Admiral Niathal as a power struggle between them ensued. Without the support of the fleet, the Anakin Solo was cut off, and the combined firepower of Niathal's vessels and the Fondorian navy eliminated any other support Jacen might have had. However, Jacen Solo managed to break free of his pursuers when the Moffs aboard the Bloodfin assumed control of the Imperial fleet near Fondor and assisted in his escape.
In the wake of the fighting at Fondor, Jacen traveled alone to the Nickel One asteroid, leaving the Anakin Solo in the command of Tahiri Veila. During her search for the new Jedi base, Tahiri used the ship to track down Ben Skywalker to Nova Station, where she was able to capture the Beam Runner, a starcutter owned by Prince Isolder of Hapes. Tahiri hoped that Isolder might be a more pliable prisoner, and provide them with the location of the Jedi base. Darth Caedus, however, already knew that the base was somewhere in the Transitory Mists, having used a blood trail to follow the movements of his sister, Jaina Solo.
Supported by the Megador and a fleet of warships from the Galactic Alliance and the Imperial Remnant, the Anakin Solo set out for the Mists on a mission to destroy Luke Skywalker and the new Jedi Order. This force was careful to avoid the dangers of the Mists, which gave the Jedi forces a chance to anticipate their arrival. Jaina and Zekk positioned themselves near the worlds of Qogo and Uluq, hoping to draw off some of the fleet by making it look like the Jedi base was on Uroro Station. Once the Anakin Solo came after them, Jaina and Zekk launched their own attack, destroying the shield generator towers on the Star Destroyer with shadow bombs. This allowed a second wave of attacks to be launched by Luke Skywalker and the other Jedi, as part of a mission to rescue Prince Isolder. However, Luke's force was decimated by fire from the Megador, forcing Jaina to carry out their mission as well as her own, to destroy Darth Caedus.
As Jaina boarded the ship, the forces supporting the Jedi Coalition pounded the Anakin Solo as it moved deeper into The Throat, following the Megador closer to Uroro Station. When the other Star Destroyer was called to attack the Hapan Home Fleet, the Anakin Solo was left without an escort. Jaina had finally killed Darth Caedus, leaving the ship without a commanding officer. The Jedi forces then pressed their advantage, and Han and Leia Solo were able to fly the Millennium Falcon past the ship's defenses and land in a hangar. Luke Skywalker and a handful of other Jedi Knights and Masters then boarded the Anakin Solo and set out to neutralize any resistance.

It was here that Shaak Ti made her final stand against Darth Vader's secret apprentice, the Starkiller. Their duel in the sarlacc's mouth caused physical damage to the huge creature. After Shaak Ti was killed, the sarlacc in the Ancient Abyss soon died. The creature's body was consumed by its own bile and digestive acids, and these organic chemicals leaked into the surrounding ground, poisoning the land for hundreds of meters in every direction. The death of the sarlacc left behind a deep hole, a true abyss in which nothing grew or thrived.

Ancient Order of the Pessimists
This cult grew quietly on the volcanic world of Maryx Minor. The Order always believed that the worst would happen, regardless of the situation. They were forced to hide Abal Karda, during the fugitive's flight from the Empire. Karda killed at least one of the brothers, Mabob, believing the young man was spying on him when Mabob was simply bringing his meal. He killed another brother during Mabob's funeral, claiming their chants were too loud. The Order was then dismayed to learn that both Boba Fett and Darth Vader were tracking Karda, and they believed that their end was near. However, Fett and Vader fought to a standstill and left the planet, and their struggle only killed four of the Order's brothers. The leader of the Order declared that this was an omen, which meant that they needed to start looking for the worst in every situation. He declared that the order should begin looking toward the brighter side of any situation. Several of the Order's older members declared this a heresy, and they were proved correct. Vader felt that the Order had witnessed too much, and ordered their destruction. Several turbolaser barrages from Vader's Star Destroyer leveled their hermitage and destroyed the Order.

Ancient Tokens of Legendary Ewok Heroes
Eight sacred artifacts from Ewok history, they were handed down from priest to shaman to priest over the generations. Most recently, they were in the possession of Logray. The tokens were the White Wings of Hope, the Red Wings of Courage, the Blue Wings of Strength, the Candle of Pure Light, a magic walking stick, the Sook rock, a magic crystal, and an ivory tooth. The tokens were bestowed upon the members of a great undertaking, as was the case when Deej and his sons escorted the Towani children on a mission to rescue their parents from the Gorax. The crystal was carried by Deej until it was obvious that it belonged to Kaink, the Ewok priestess, who used it to divine the intent of the mission and to influence the animals of Endor. The walking stick was given to Wicket, for it allowed the gullible little Ewok to see through the false surface of the magic pool, and aided him in rescuing Mace from the pool's depths. The ivory tooth was part of an ancient jawbone which was possessed by Chukha-Trok, who joined the mission after befriending Mace.

After the Klatooinans were discovered by the Hutts, many Klatooinan elders came to believe that the Hutts were the living embodiment of the Ancients, since they lived for many centuries. This angered many younger Klatooinans, who recognized that the Hutts were nothing more than mortal beings, just like the Klatooinans.

Ancum, Jioie
This woman, a supporter of the Alliance, was a native of the planet Tuttin IV. Jioie was trained in her youth as a classical musician, and had soprano voice which brought many an audience to tears. She and her husband, Tendis, had a son named Ryley, who they were forced to leave behind when the Empire took control of Tuttin IV. In order to provide a cover for their duties with the Alliance, they accepted a posting off-planet with the Empire, leaving Ryley in the care of Shran Etison. Tendis had taken a promotion to become the foreman of a factory offplanet, while Jioie went along as his assistant. Ryley, when he was old enough, began to hate his parents because he believed that they had abandoned him to take positions within the Empire. When she learned that Ryley had been feeding information to Keth Beamis, Jioie arranged to be on Beltrix III for his audition. Ryley was stunned to meet his mother there, but kept a straight face in order to maintain Jioie's cover.

Ancum, Ryley
This youth, a native of the planet Tuttin IV, was a member of the local Alliance cell during the years following the Battle of Yavin. Ry played the bass vye in the band called Far Cry, and used the bass line from his band's music to secretly transmit messages to Keth Beamis about Imperial shipping plans. Ryley had grown up supporting the Alliance after he was led to believe that his parents had abandoned him to take up positions within the Empire. Ryley himself was left in the care of Imperial Governor Shran Etison, so that he could remain on Tuttin IV and continue his education. When he learned what the Empire was doing behind its massive propaganda machine, Ryley' hatred for his parents only deepened. His hatred of the Empire hardened when Beamis was killed while being interrogated. However, Ryley was still under the protection of Governor Etison, and thought he was helpless to act. His patience paid off, though, when Etison arranged for Far Cry to act as "bait" in a trap to expose the Alliance cell on Beltrix III. Ryley agreed to continue auditioning for the Holstrum Talent Agency, so that Etison could catch the Alliance spies. Ryley, however, used his bassline coding system to send ahead a warning of Etison's plans. The cell was able to destroy or hide its records, and Etison's agents found nothing but a legitimate talent agency. While on Beltrix III, though, Ryley met with the Alliance agents running the local cell. The agents turned out to be none other than his musical teacher, Tet Tramys, and his own mother. Surprised, relieved, and excited all at once, Ryley maintained a calm demeanor and did nothing to expose his mother's cover. His faith in his parents, however, had been restored.

Andal, Villis
This Imperial Moff controlled Elrood Sector during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Andal was the son of a noble, well-connected Atrisian family, and spent much of his youth perfecting such archaic skills as marksmanship with a Kiliean bolt gun and riding the loirbnigg of the planet Frisal. An excellent student, he earned admission to the Imperial Diplomatic Corps. In return for an undisclosed favor to an Imperial Senator - rumored to have been a large sum of credits and the destruction of any evidence of the bribe - Andal was promoted to Assistant to the Moff of Elrood Sector. When the Moff died in a routine space accident, Andal found himself promoted into his place. He found himself unable to contain the rising tide of piracy and rebellion which sprang up after the destruction of Alderaan, even with three Imperial-class Star Destroyers at his disposal. When the Brazen was destroyed by Alliance forces while in drydock at the Derilyn Space Defense Platform, Moff Andal was removed from his position and re-assigned.

Andasala
A planet which was a haven for criminals and other underworld operatives. During the early years of the New Republic, the planet was under the control of Valis Lorn. Andasala was originally a mining settlement established by Gesenix Mining. Promising because of the wealth of natural resources available, Andasala became a booming world by virtue of its proximity to Svivren. Its location also brought into direct contact with the Galactic Civil War, as both the Empire and the Alliance fought battles for control of the space lanes around it. These battles continued well after the Battle of Yavin, until Valis Lorn arrived. He nationalized the planet through the use of his criminal henchmen, establishing a "safe" world for its natives. The average day on Andasala lasted 25 standard hours, and its year encompasses 370 local days.

Andeddu, Darth
This ancient Sith Lord placed a wealth of dark lore into a Sith holocron, which was entombed with him on Korriban when he died, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. Darth Andeddu was believed to have been one of the first Sith Lords to adopt the title Darth. Although the exact nature of his death was lost over time, it was believed that Darth Andeddu managed to keep his own body vivified through the use of the Dark Side of the Force. In this way, his undead body was transported back to Korriban, to be entombed in the Valley of the Dark Lords. The Dark Side energies of the planet allowed Darth Andeddu's spirit to gain enough strength to leave his physical body behind, yet still exist in the physical world. The holocron, known simply as Darth Andeddu's Holocron, was later recovered by Quinlan Vos and Tol Skorr, who were vying for the favor of Count Dooku at the height of the Clone Wars. From inside the holocron, Dooku extracted a blood-red crystal that was once part of Darth Andeddu's lightsaber. He gave this crystal to Quinlan Vos, shortly before dispatching Vos to Coruscant to assassinate Senator Viento.
In the wake of the Clone Wars, Korriban was all but forgotten, and Darth Andeddu's Holocron remained hidden for decades, until it was discovered by Darth Krayt. Darth Krayt called upon Andeddu's spirit quite often, hoping to understand why his Yuuzhan Vong-enhanced body was failing, despite his own deep connection to the Dark Side of the Force. Andeddu, along with other Sith spirits entombed on Korriban, refused to give Krayt any useful information, believing that he was little more than a pretender to the Sith heritage. Krayt placed the Holocron in the care of his Loremaster, Darth Wyyrlok, who discovered more and more about Andeddu from the multitude of tomes and scrolls he and his ancestors had recovered over the years. It was Wyyrlok who learned that Andeddu's body had not, in fact, been buried on Korriban, but was instead entombed on the planet Prakith. Wyyrlok also discovered that Andeddu's Holocron was more than a simple storage and teaching device, but was the key to reviving Andeddu from the dead. The feral humanoid Gerlun took the Holocron from Wyyrlok and placed it atop Andeddu's moldering corpse, completing the ancient spell that Andeddu had forged.
Wyyrlok then learned that Andeddu had not actually found a way to re-animate his dead body, but had found a way to store his essence within the Holocron, until it could be transferred into a new, living host. Andeddu' spirit left the Holocron and invaded Gerlun's body, exterminating Gerlun's essence and taking control for itself. Andeddu then tried to assume control of Wyyrlok, claiming him to be an imposter, and denouncing Darth Krayt as a pretender to the legacy of the Sith. A titanic battle between the two Sith ensued, until Wyyrlok realized that the stories of Andeddu's demise were little more than glorifications that were meant to hide the fact that Andeddu fled to Prakith in fear for his own life. Wyyrlok took control of their battle, and drowned Andeddu in wave after wave of Dark Side energy. Wyyrlok also destroyed Andeddu's Holocron, completely obliterating anything that remained of Andeddu or his spirit.

Andeddu's Keep
This crumbling edifice was once the primary residence of the ancient Sith Lord, Darth Andeddu. Located in a remote part of the planet Prakith, the Keep's existence remained a closely-guarded secret, allowing Andeddu to carry out his obligations to the Sith, while keeping his own ambitions secret. After his apparent death, Andeddu's Keep fell into ruin, because few beings knew of its existence. After a time, only the gatekeeper to Darth Andeddu 's Holocron remembered the location of the Keep, and would only reveal it to a Sith Lord who managed to discern the information in the Holocron. Darth Wyyrlok discovered the existence of the Keep some 137 years after the Battle of Yavin, while poring through the Holocron in search of knowledge that would keep Darth Krayt alive. The gatekeeper divulged the information after Wyyrlok let on that he might also use the knowledge to reanimate Andeddu's moldering corpse. Wyyrlok found the Keep in a state of disrepair, its outer façade damaged by some form of assault, but its inner chambers still retaining their grandeur even while falling to ruin. Living within the ruins of the Keep, Wyyrlok found a group of feral humanoids who lived to serve something they called the Malevolence, a reference to the Dark Side energies that permeated the castle.

Ando
This water-covered, Mid Rim world was the second and primary planet of the Ando system, and was the homeworld of the Aqualish race. It was orbited by a pair of moons. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, the planet was tightly controlled by the Empire. Ando was the sight of one of Thrawn's feint attacks in preparation for his attack on Ukio; the attack was led by the Bellicose. Ninety-five percent of the planet was covered by water and there was very little solid land mass, and the Aqualish have adapted by living in sailing ships or on the small islands. The islands themselves were often nothing more that hummocks in a swampy ecosystem, and were shrouded with an acrid, steamy mist. There was at one time a sister planet to Ando, but the Aqualish wars left it barren and blasted soon after they discovered space travel. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Ando was one of the first planets which were "spared" in return for a live Jedi Knight. Unfortunately for Dorsk 82, he was killed by the Aqualish when he tried to protect the droids which worked on the planet. Ando eventually fell to the Yuuzhan Vong.

This was one of the most famous podraces of the Old Republic, rivalled only by the Boonta Eve Classic. Like the Ando Prime Centrum, the Ando Overland took place on the frozen world of Ando Prime. Like the Boonta, the Ando Overland was sponsored by the Hutts of the Desilijic clan. Because of this, both races were postponed indefinitely when Zorba the Hutt was arrested on Kip, due to the lack of funding being provided by the Hutts.

Ando Prime
This cold, frozen world was the third planet in the Ando System, and the site of a podracing course that challenged racers with a variety of icy, nearly frictionless surfaces. The planet's primary inhabitants were the Bendu monks, who lived and worked in the Andobi Mountains. More modern settlements sprang up to the south of the mountains, and the villagers built a huge water pipeline and pump system to bring mountain spring water to their growing cities. The podraces that began here were originally staged to entertain the laborers who were building the pipelines, which took nearly a decade to complete.

This large predator terrorized the swamps which bordered on the coastlines of the planet Ando. Measuring up to four and a half meters in length, these beasts were ambush predators which hung just below the surface of the water with just their eyes breaking the surface.

Andoan Mineral-fish
Native to the planet Ando, this large shellfish could reach sizes of up to a meter in length. Classified by zoologists as a crustacean, the mineral-fish had outer shells which were formed from a variety of valuable minerals and ores, making them a cheap source of raw materials. They have advanced bio-chemical processing abilities, as evidenced by the rate at which they add to their shells. The average mineral-fish lives only five years, but in that time they grow quickly. The Empire was interested in the fish for two reasons: the ores in the shell were used to form war materiel, and scientists wanted to learn how they processed raw material. Unfortunately, no one had been able to duplicate the mineral-fish's abilities.

However, she was no less determined than an entire politcal party to ensure that Telos wasn't turned into an industrial wasteland. Therefore, when Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi revealed that Xanatos was using UniFy as a front for Offworld Mining, she agreed to help them bring Xanatos to justice. She and her cohort, Denetrus, helped the Jedi expose Xanatos and his plans by showing video of the Sacred Pools during a Katharsis game. Xanatos had been using the pools - which were located in a protected, global park - as dumping grounds for the toxic wastes developed during the mining of malab and other ores. After Xanatos was defeated, Andra and Denetrus began to fall in love. They later married, and worked with the Chun family to try and save Telos.

He was prepared to follow Kram into battle, in order to ensure that the miners received the bounties placed on their heads by Count Dooku. However, he was unprepared when Jing got to close to the fighting, and was killed. He realized that the Jedi weren't the monsters they had been made out to be by Dooku, and he allowed Obs to escape. This action led to Obs being shot down by Dooku's forces in orbit around Katanos VII, and Dooku paid just half the bounty to Kram for Master Lunis. This left the miners virtually creditless, as well as under suspicion for the deaths of the two Jedi. Kram blamed their fate on Andru's weakness, and ordered the miners to disband and flee for their lives.

After the fighting, there were too many warships left derelict in orbit around Coruscant for the new Republic's meager forces to remove, so they were simply abandoned and tracked as orbital debris, until more salvage teams could be sanctioned to remove them. Andur was one of the many early bureaucrats of the New Republic who failed to see the need to ensure the safety and security of the people of the Republic, rather than securing the operations of the govenrment.

Angeles, Pike
This Lorrdian man joined the Alliance after completing two tours of duty with the Imperial Navy, when he learned that slavery was almost fully sanctioned by the Empire he served. This went against everything he believed, and so he defected. He was assigned to the Y-Wing squadrons on Dantooine, where he was partnered with the astromech R2-S4. He also brought with him an impressive knowledge of Imperial codes and schematics, and longed to become a field agent. After winning R2-D2 from Captain Raymus Antilles in a sabacc match, Angeles traded the droid for a position as a deep-cover agent. Airen Cracken, a participant in the game, placed Pike back into Imperial service as a starship engineer. His Lorrdian heritage allowed him to assume virtually an identity at will, which allowed him to re-enter Imperial service without being recognized. He used his position to gain access to backwater Imperial bases, and simply stole ships that had come in for service. His charismatic personality allowed him to talk his way out of explaining the theft, and provided the Alliance with much-needed starships. His full Lorrdian name was Shen-and-Gretta Pikeual-Angeles of Lorrd.

Angler
This creature, native to the fourth moon of Yavin, was a spider-like crustaceal mollusk with long legs attached to a small body. It draped itself over the exposed roots of the Massassi trees, with the ends of its legs in the water of a river or stream. When a fish swam too close to the angler, it thrust its legs out at the fish, spearing it with the pointed ends. The legs then worked in unison to grab the fish and draw it into the angler's mouth.

Anglethorn, Darial
This fiery, red-haired woman was a native of the planet Beheboth, and was a member of a moisture farming family during the height of the New Order. She also served as the leader of the rebel band that opposed those who would steal the planet's water. When Gideon Longspar was defeated by Luke Skywalker in combat, Darial was able to destroy the water-holding tanks, restoring Beheboth's trapped water supply. Some four years later, Darial became Beheboth's representative to the New Republic Senate, making the trip to Coruscant several times a year to ensure that Beheboth was well-represented. When she was on her homeworld, Darial served as the peacekeeper of the city of Prosperity. It was during this time that Luke Skywalker returned to Beheboth, only to discover that Darial had been injured in an attack. It was while trying to stabilize her that Luke discovered Darial had a connection to the Force, when she called out for his help. Darial had stumbled upon the makeshift laboratory of Mils Giel, who had been breeding a dangerous variant of the Tirrith for use as a biological weapon. She was returned to Prosperity and eventually recovered from her injuries, and was able to provide Luke with enough information for him to begin a search for Giel.

Angral
This ancient Sith Lord led a daring attack on the planet Coruscant, during the final years of the Great Galactic War. He was distinguished by the cybernetic replacement for his left eye. Lord Angral's attack coincided with a series of peace negotiations that were taking place on Alderaan, taking advantage of the Galactic Republic's confidence that the war would soon be won. Angral's flagship destroyed the first orbital security station it encountered, then Angral and his men moved swiftly to the surface of Coruscant. A set of ships was dispatched to attack the Jedi Temple, rendering the Jedi unable to respond to the arrival of the Sith. Lord Angral was soon confronted by Jedi Master Orgus Din, who tried to block his path. Angral attacked the Jedi with his lightsaber, and might have killed Orgus if the shock wave from a crashing starship had not knocked them both from their feet. Angral was unharmed by the blast, as was Orgus, but he chose to let Orgus escape. Angral then drew his men together and headed for the Senate building, where he planned to take the Supreme Chancellor hostage and force the Republic to negotiate for peace on terms that would be defined by the Sith. However, instead of carrying out his explicit orders, Lord Angral executed the Supreme Chancellor and planned to exterminate the entire Jedi Order before being called back to Korriban by the Sith Emperor. On Korriban, he was confronted by Lord Baras, who questioned his actions on Coruscant. Angral refused to enter into a life-or-death battle with Baras, but he also explained that he would take advantage of any future opportunity to advance himself in the Sith Empire. To this end, Angral arranged to obtain a set of military schematics from Nok. However, while en route to Dantooine to recover the schematics, Angral received a communication from Nok that revealed Lord Baras had been behind the recent attempts to undermine the Sith, and that Baras had ordered the attack on the transport ship Envoy. Lord Angral then altered his plans, returning to Korriban to confront Baras. Baras, however, was not unsettled by Angral's accusations, and instead seemed to be both excited and worried that these events had transpired. Baras then lowered his defenses, and explained to Angral that the Sith were now caught up in a chain of events that were coming to fruition sooner than expected. They then traveled to Dantooine to confront Master Dar'nala, who had been the driving force behind the attacks and sabotage that threatened to undermine the relative peace that followed the Treaty of Coruscant. Although Dar'nala was killed by Dalborra, Satele Shan decided that she would continue to fight the Sith, but on her own terms. Angral wanted to kill her before she escaped, byut Lord Baras held him back, hoping to that she would eventually turn to the Dark Side of the Force.

Anjeri, Padija
This Alderaanian woman contacted Drake Paulsen on Omman, and offered him 30,000 credits to transport her offworld immediately. Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, she and her team of anthropologists were trying to return a Twi'leki artifact to Ryloth before a group of Imperial agents could steal it from her. Padjia had studied at Alderaan University, and joined the Alliance after the destruction of her homeworld. She was recruited into the Alliance by one of her teachers, Oll Maa'cabe. She worked with her father, Colonel Renz, although she kept her mother's maiden name as was the Alderaanian tradition for an only daughter. It also allowed her to honor her mother's Alderaanian heritage. The Imperial hoped to use the crystallite skulls to bribe the Twi'leki government into an alliance. The Alliance to Restore the Republic caught wind of the Empire's plans, and hired Doctor Anjeri to recover the skulls in order to keep the Twi'leks from joining the Empire.

Jedi Wan had opened all the cages that held the wild creatures that were on display, and the Solos and their Jedi companions were forced to kill a great many of the more dangerous creatures. Among the dead creatures was the nexu female that had given birth to Anji, and Leia Solo believed that it was only right that they take in the orphaned cub and raise it. In order to ensure a reasonable amount of safety for Allana, the Solos had Anji's quilled dulled and her claws clipped, and a special dental implant was inserted that prevented Anji from biting down hard enough to draw blood.

The droid 4-LOM initially took it from her possession in order to protect it, but then realized that it could steal the stone without being caught. The droid later fenced the stone on Darlyn Boda, beginning its foray into the criminal world. When 4-LOM returned to Darlyn Boda with the survivors of the Bright Hope, he found that the stone had never been sold, so he reclaimed it and took it to his partner, Zuckuss. The Gand was recovering from breathing oxygen, and 4-LOM reasoned the stone might help him. 4-LOM also used the stone to help Samoc Farr.

Ankkit, Lik
This Neimoidian was dispatched by the Trade Federation to the planet Qiilura, where he oversaw the harvesting and export of barq and kushayan during the last years of the Old Republic. Like most Neimoidians, Ankkit was accustomed to a life of luxury, and lived in a gorgeous villa while the barq farmers lived in near-poverty conditions. The villa overlooked a huge kushayan field, and served no other purpose than to show Ankkit's position as Qiilura's commercial overlord. When Ankkit was ordered to provide funding to Ghez Hokan, who had been sent to Qiilura to protect the work of Ovolot Qail Uthan, Ankkit refused to part with any of his credits. This meant that Hokan was forced to create a protection force from criminals and other lowlifes.

Ankkox
This immense saurian was native to the jungles of Haruun Kal. Twice the size of a greasser, the ankkox was a lumbering beast whose wide body was held just above the ground on six stout legs. The dorsal shell of an ankkox was almost four meters across, and protected its heavy body. The crown shell protected the neck and skull of the beast. When in danger, the ankkox could retract its legs and head into its dorsal shell. The crown shell fit into a gap in the dorsal shell, providing the ankkox with incredible protection against attack or - as was more common on Haruun Kal - the noxious gases which spewed from its active volcanoes. The Korunnai used ankkoxes as mounts, bolting a chair to the crown shell for a driver and using the dorsal shell as a platform for a weapon or a howdah. The only part of the ankkox's body which was not protected by armor plating was the thick tail, which was tipped with a heavy ball of armor. The ankkox used this tail as its primary weapon, using incredible muscle control to swing the ball of armor at its attacker. The Korunnai warriors regarded the ankkox as the apex predator of the jungles, and many a Korunnai youth tried to acquire the tail-ball of an ankkox as the ultimate symbol of their prowess: dangerous to acquire, difficult to use, but deadly in action.

The planet was known to exist on most astrogation computer systems at coordinates (-334, -697, 16), and was first colonized about 300 years before the Battle of Yavin. It was named the Moddell Sector capital originally by the Old Republic about fifty years before the Battle of Yavin, after the Old Republic incorporated the sectors of the Inner Zuma. In the wake of the Battle of Endor and the loss on Imperial convoys into and out of the Moddell Sector, Annaj was more less forgotten by the rest of the galaxy.

This Chalactan girl was one of the many Jedi Padawans who were pressed into military duty during the height of the Clone Wars. Klossi was among the small group of Jedi that was rescued by Roan Shryne and the crew of the Drunk Dancer, in the wake of the Clone Wars. Her Master had died saving her life, when the command was issued to their clone troops to execute Order 66. After escaping the attack, Klossi heard the 913 call that was issued by Siadem Forte, and joined the Jedi Knight on Dellalt before fleeing and being rescued by Shryne. After being rescued, Klossi turned her lightsaber over to Master Shryne, hoping that he could put it to better use than she could. The group managed to survive a brief stopover on Jaguada's moon, before Olee Starstone set off on her own, and Shryne remained with the crew of the Drunk Dancer. Although Klossi had deferred to Shryne's leadership, she chose to follow Starstone's lead and set off with her to locate any other surviving Jedi. On Kashyyyk, the group of Jedi hoped to learn more about the fates of Yoda, Quinlan Vos, and Luminara Unduli, but were instead confronted by Darth Vader himself. After Vader injured Forte and Iwo Kulka, Klossi tried to attack on her own, and was badly injured when the Dark Lord slashed her across the back. She was rescued by Starstone and brought to the Drunk Dancer for treatment. After escaping Kashyyyk, Klossi decided to sign up as an agriculturalist or construction engineer attached to an Imperial project, where she hoped to learn as much as she could about the Empire and sow dissent from within.

Annon, Blix
This plump man was a Senator to the Old Republic some 55 years before the Clone Wars. Known for his expensive and opulent tastes, Senator Annon was nevertheless very generous in his support to the Jedi Order, both financially and practically. Thus, he came to believe that he could call on the Order whenever he needed help, as repayment for his generosity. During a mission he undertook at the time, Senator Annon was accompanied by Jedi Master Dooku and his Padawan, Qui-Gon Jinn. Their ship was apprehended by a pirate, who had used the disabled ship of Senator Galim Eddawan as bait. In the ensuing battle, the pirate - who revealed himself to be Lorian Nod - captured Senator Annon and fled into space. Unfortunately for Senator Annon, the strain of being attacked and kidnapped was too much for his aging body. He died of a heart attack shortly after his capture, before Nod could ransom him back to his constituents.

Annoo
This was the original homeworld of the Annoo-dat Prime race. Some 322 years before the Battle of Yavin, the planet's natural resources had been exhausted, and the Annoo-dat Prime were forced to abandon their homeworld and seek out a new place to live. They eventually conquered the Ret and took control of the planet Gelefil, which was later renamed to Annoo, in honor of the original homeworld of the Annoo-dat Prime.

Annoo
This agricultural planet was the homeworld of the Ret, a race of smooth-skinned, cold-blooded humanoids. Before the planet was conquered by the Annoo-dat, however, the planet was known as Gelefil. When the Annoo-dat defeated the Ret some 322 years before the Battle of Yavin, the two races eventually became a single society. After a century or so of peace, the planet was renamed to Annoo, in honor of its conquerors. The planet was thrown into turmoil a few years before the onset of the Clone Wars.

Annoo-dat
Although this race of reptiloids was considered native to the planet Gelefil, they were originally native to a planet known as Annoo. These hulking humanoids had drowsy eyes, flat noses, and spots on their faces. Perhaps the most distinctive feature of the Annoo-dat physiology was the fact that each individual had four eyes, allowing them to see into a variety of spectra and with incredible clarity. The crown of the Annoo-dat head was ringed with short horns, and their chins ended in a bony point. A thick tail helped to counterbalance their long bodies, and the legs of an Annoo-dat had two knee joints. The spots on their face changed color with their emotional state, getting brighter as an individual became angrier. About 322 years before the Battle of Yavin, the Annoo-dat were forced to abandon their dying homeworld of Annoo. They eventually discovered to the planet Gelefil, and defeated the Ret to take control of the planet. Over the following decades, the two races merged into a single society, with both referring to themselves as the Annoo-dat. They renamed the planet Annoo, in honor of the original homeworld of the Annoo-dat. In order to avoid confusion, xenobiologists referred to the Annoo-dat as the Annoo-dat Prime, while the Ret came to called Anno-dat Blue.

Anoat Sector
This was one of the three sectors of the galaxy that made up the Greater Javin area of the Outer Rim Territories. The original boundaries of the Anoat Sector included the area now known as the Yarith Sector, encompassing the entire area of space containing the Kiax and Ivax Nebulas. Because much of the sector was mapped by Ecclessis Figg himself, he petitioned the Old Republic to name the sector 'Ecclessis'. However, investigation of public records revealed an earlier survey team had already given it the name 'Anoat'. Generations later, the Old Republic split the burgeoning Anoat Sector into two parts, splitting the sector so that each part contained one of the two parts of the Twin Nebulae. The Anoat Sector contained those worlds surrounding the Ivax Nebula, while the other sector would include the planets near the Kiax Nebula. The heirs of Ecclessis and Yarith Figg argued that the Republic was trying to artificially limit their expansion in the region and curb their economic control of the Anoat Sector, but their appeals fell short of swaying the politicians. They managed to win a small victory, however, when the Kiax Nebula sector was named Yarith Sector, after Yarith Figg. 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.

Anoat System
This star system contained the planets Anoat, Gentes, and Deyer. It was here that the Imperial fleet chased the Millennium Falcon after it escaped from the Hoth asteroid field, in the wake of the Battle of Hoth. During the time of the New Republic, the system was relatively deserted. It was located near the Hoth System. Note that Rebellion places the Anoat System in the Churba Sector, while the Dark Side Sourcebook places it in the Anoat Sector.

Anobis
This planet was located near Ord Mantell, in the Mid Rim. In addition to a colony of Zabraks, there were two main groups of native humans: those that lived and worked in the mountain mines, and those that lived and worked in the lowland plains. The miners depended heavily on trade in order to survive, and valued their relationship with the Empire. The farmers, however, were self-sufficient, and resented the controls imposed by Imperial law. At the height of the Galactic Civil War, the farmers wanted to join the Alliance, but the miners feared the loss of their trade. An intense civil war broke out, and lasted for nearly 25 years before Han Solo met with the leaders of both groups. Han was acting as the Grand Marshall of the 93rd Blockade Runners Derby on Ord Mantell.

Anod
This man was the younger brother of Prince Denid, of the planet Velmor. When the Empire subjugated Velmor and slew their parents, the boys were split up. Denid was taken by Jedidiah into hiding, while Anod was groomed by the Imperials to become the next King, albeit an Imperial one. Anod was killed by Captain Traal, his Imperial attache', when he tried to kill Denid at the behest of Zelor. Traal discovered that Loren and Korl Marcus were actually Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker in disguise, and wanted them alive. She shot Anod in the ensuing confusion.
(LTA2, MC49)
Anointed People
This was the name used by a race of reptilian humanoids which had reached a feudal level of society by the era of the New Order. They were native to the planet Abonshee, which they called Masterhome, and had a feudal society which split their people into two classes: the Godlings, who were the rulers and priests of the planet; and the Unwashed, which were the serfs and laborers. All of the Anointed People were ruled a supreme leader known as the Godking. Despite their fearsome appearance and disparate societies, there were very few wars in their history. After Imperial Lord Dixton tried to take control of the Godking, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the Godking aligned the Anointed People with the Alliance. The Godlings assisted a group of Alliance agents in capturing Dixton and ensuring the Anointed Peoples' freedom.

Anomid
A humanoid alien race native to the Yablari System, the Anomid were born without vocal cords. This requires that the immature Anomid wear complex masks which synthesize the sounds necessary for communication with others. These masks were very large, covering all but the Anomid's eyes and forehead. They dress in long, hooded robes made from pure dendrite. Most Anomids have pale, translucent skin and wide eyes, and their ears were large and leaf-like in shape. Anomids have six toes on each foot. Their technology was fairly sophisticated, and the Anomid have become very wealthy selling it in the galaxy. A peaceful race, they supported the Old Republic for 15,000 years before the onset of the New Order. Their own political system was divided in its support during the Galactic Civil War, but they sided with the Empire in an effort to meet their homeworlds' needs.
(RM, GG12, RD)
Anomid
This was the name given to the native language of the Anomid race, which consisted of an intricate collection of hand and body signals. Because Anomids had six fingers on each hand, this form of sign language was "unpronounceable" by most other races. There was no written element to the Anomid language.
(UANT)
Anooba
This creature was a nocturnal, lupine predator native to the near deserts of Tatooine. They were opportunistic feeders that hunted in packs, killing small prey or scavenging off larger kills by other predators as the environment demanded. Each pack was led by a dominant pair. The average anooba weighed more than thirty-five kilograms, and had large ears to help regulate body heat. Their snouts ended in a heavy beak, and their strong jaws allowed them to bite through bone and gristle. Most anoobas were continually hungry, and would often feed until gorged and unable to move. Young anoobas were cared for by the pack for just a year, after which the largest were driven off to fend for themselves.

Anor, Nom
This shadowy, black-armored figure worked behind the scenes of the Imperial Interim Ruling Council, during the early years of the New Republic. He used Xandel Carivus as his agent, and predicted that Carivus would be elected to lead the Council after Nolyds was assassinated. Nom Anor spoke with a raspy hiss, which strengthened his evil image. He claimed to be in charge of the dealings on Ord Cantrell, and that the murders which plagued the Council were within his plans. However, General Immodet was soon poisoned, and not by any of Anor's agents. He claimed to be unconcerned about the rumors of Kir Kanos returning. Nom Anor became known to the New Republic several years later, when he emerged as the spiritual and political leader of the Rhommamoolians. Nom Anor made no effort to hide his hatred of the New Republic and the Jedi Knights, and preached about abandoning technology in favor of looking for the truth in the natural elements of life. In response to his charismatic personality, the Red Knights of Life rose up to further his beliefs. He had managed to incite them to rebel against their neighbors on the planet Osarian, sparking an intrasystem battle while furthering his own plans. In reality, Nom Anor was the Yuuzhan Vong Executor, an advance agent of the Praetorite Vong, and a member of the Intendent class. He spent some eighteen years traveling the known galaxy, gathering a wealth of intelligence and information on the galaxy, preparing the Yuuzhan Vong for their invasion. When he was given the assignment, he showed his devotion to the Yuuzhan Vong by removing his own eye with the sharpened end of a burning stick. The eye was replaced with a plaeryin bol. About a year before the invasion began, Nom Anor adopted the guise of Udelen, and tried to forge an allegiance with Boba Fett and the Mandalorians. While Fett outwardly agreed to work for the Yuuzhan Vong, he and his Mandalorians used their new roles to gather intelligence on the alien invaders. At Sernpidal a short time after the invasion began, Nom Anor faked his own death by pretending to be on a diplomatic shuttle dispatched to the Mediator, but he was actually in an A-Wing fighter fleeing to Sernpidal. The shuttle exploded in the hold of the Mediator, although Nom Anor himself was in another craft fleeing the battle. He was disgraced upon his return to the Yuuzhan Vong leaders, and was replaced by Shedao Shai. It was later revealed that Nom Anor was a member of a lower caste in Yuuzhan Vong society, and hoped to elevate his people to warrior status by successfully conquering the first planets along Vector Prime. His failure almost guaranteed swift retribution. With the failures of Shedao Shai and Deign Lian, Nom Anor found himself once again in a position of command, leading the forces which destroyed Obroa-skai. He was also part of a growing faction of Yuuzhan Vong which believed the Jedi Knights were the key to taking control of the galaxy. Nom Anor also took steps to form an alliance with Borga the Hutt, which provided a minimum of protection for Hutt Space and gave the Yuuzhan Vong their choice of worlds to use to grow yorik coral. However, Nom Anor found himself entangled with two female rivals during the invasion. The former Jedi Knigth Vergere seemed to be favored by Warmaster Tsavong Lah, while Viqi Shesh - the woman he himself had recruited to the Yuuzhan Vong cause - was working behind the scenes to assassinate Borsk Fey'lya and become Chief of State of the New Republic. Nom Anor met both challenges head-on, and was dispatched to Coruscant to meet with the Republic Senate and Chief of State Fey'lya. Nom Anor was summarily arrested, thwarting his immediate plans and those of Senator Shesh, but managed to escape unharmed after rendering the entire Senate unconcscious. Upon his return to the Yuuzhan Vong, Nom Anor was again paired with Vergere, this time on the so-called Solo Project. He argued for the project's existence by showing Tsavong Lah that the New Republic - and the Solo family in particular - were destined to win the Galactic Civil so that the Yuuzhan Vong could invade the galaxy. Speaking heretically, Nom Anor explained that the Empire's centralized forces would have crushed the Yuuzhan Vong, so the True Gods altered events to ensure the Alliance own the war. While this appeased the Warmaster, Nom Anor's failure with the Solo Project did not. He was relegated to duty on Coruscant, which had been reformed into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar, locating and eliminating any pockets of resistance. His continued failure to capture Jacen Solo, combined with the loss of Ganner Rhysode and the near-destruction of the World Brain, forced Nom Anor to flee into the depths of the planet to escape execution. There, he met up with a group of Shamed Ones who had begun to revere the Jedi Knights. Their heretical beliefs gave Nom Anor the idea of turning them in to Overlord Shimrra, as part of a plan to regain his stature. When the band of Shamed Ones was routed by Yuuzhan Vong warriors, Nom Anor was again forced to flee deeper into the planet, relying on Shoon-Mi and Kunra to survive. However, his plans were not in shambles, and he continued to gain power as Yu'shaa, the Prophet who would lead the Shamed Ones to freedom. He gathered the Shamed Ones and used their religious fervor to build his own base of power, from which he hoped to strike back at Shimrra for abandoning him. He thought his plans had come to fruition when the living planet Zonama Sekot was located, as he believed that the destruction of the planet - which was a source of fear to Shimrra - would return him to the Supreme Overlord's good graces. After arranging to reach the planet with Nen Yim and Harrar, along with the Jedi Knights Tahiri Veila and Corran Horn, Nom Anor found the rumors of the living planet to be true. He set his plans in motion, hoping to overload the planetary hyperdrive and destroy the planet. He was forced to kill Nen Yim, who had discovered his true identity, only to be revealed later by Tahiri. Nevertheless, Nom Anor managed to escape Zonama Sekot and return to Coruscant, where he was restored to a position of power by Shimrra himself. Nom Anor was named the Prefect of Yuuzhan'tar, much to the dismay of High Prefect Drathul. Drathul decided that Nom Anor should be the individual to put a stop to the heretical cult of the Prophet Yu'shaa, a move that Nom Anor believed would earn him even more power. He was unprepared for Kunra's own plans, however, when the Shamed One twisted his warnings into bold proclamations to the Shamed Ones. Kunra thus forced Nom Anor to lead the masses, rather than abandon them. However, the weight of serving two masters began to force Nom Anor into a corner. When Shimrra finally ordered the World Brain on Coruscant to literally destroy the planet, making it useless to either side of the battle, Nom Anor did the only thing he could to save his planet. He shed his Prefect's cloak and took up arms with the Shamed Ones, fighting against the establishment of Shimrra. Once again, his actions were merely executed to save his own skin, and Nom Anor hoped to escape in the midst of the fighting between Shamed Ones and warriors. He was tracked in his escape by none other than Mara Jade Skywalker, who was part of an infiltration team dispatched to capture Shimrra. Mara's combat skills, both with a lightsaber and barehanded, were no match for Nom Anor, who was already breathless and tired from trying to escape the battle. She forced him to surrender, at which point he told her about Shimrra's plans to use the Alpha Red virus against Zonama Sekot. He then agreed to take the Jedi and the Solos to Shimrra's Citadel, in the hopes of locating Luke Skywalker and Jaina and Jacen Solo. Along the way, Nom Anor continued to look for a way to turn the situation to his own needs, but the deaths of Shimrra and Onimi left him with only two options: rejoining Nas Choka or joining the Galactic Alliance. Neither prospect gave him the kind of power he wanted, however. As he led the Jedi to Shimrra's escape pod, even his attempt to force them into the waste disposal system went awry. Jacen recognized the ruse, and confronted Nom Anor. In a last-ditch effort, Nom Anor used his plaeryin bol to squirt poison at Jacen. The young Jedi, however, simply restructured the poison into nothing more than water. Left with no alternative, Nom Anor chose to die when the escape craft crashed back into the surface of Coruscant.

Anor, Phaa
This Yuuzhan Vong, a member of the Intendent caste, was a creche'-mate of Nom Anor. During the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Phaa Anor served as a subordinate under his cousin, until Nom Anor began to fail in his missions. When the Executor fled Corsucant on a search for Zonama Sekot, he maintained a villip which communicated with Phaa Anor. Nom Anor hoped that Phaa Anor would relay the message that Zonama Sekot had been found, and would soon be destroyed. Phaa Anor reluctantly agreed to bring the message to Supreme Overlord Shimrra, despite the fact that it might cost him his life.

Anoth
This remote planet was actually three fragments of an ancient planet which was destroyed eons ago, that were held together by gravity, orbiting a common center of mass. Two fragments orbit in close proximity, and shared a poisonous atmosphere that made them virtually uninhabitable. The third fragment was separated from the other two, and was minimally capable of supporting life. The entire system was unstable, and many astrophysicists believed that it would eventually destroy itself. Because of the unusual configuration of the planet, many system cartographers considered Anoth to be the smaller, inhabitable fragment, and thus the third planet in the Anoth System. The three planetary fragments orbited a small, white dwarf sun, giving the inhabitable fragment an eerie, purple sky even during the height of daytime. The fragments had a regular rotation about their center of mass that resulted in a day that lasted fourteen standard hours, and orbited its sun every 286 local days. During the early years of the New Republic, Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo hid their children on Anoth, to protect them being kidnapped until they were old enough to train at Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. The planet itself was located by Skywalker and Admiral Ackbar, and Leia's childhood friend Winter took care of the children there. Many defenses were stablished on the habitable fragment, including a massive fortress that was protected by the Foreign Intruder Defense Organism. The fortress was breached by Ambassador Furgan's troops, who used MT-ATs to break down the barriers and gain entrance. The base was abandoned for some years after Furgan's attack was thwarted, to see whether knowledge of the planet became widespread. When Anoth remained relatively unheard of, Han and Leia began to refurbish the base as a private, well-defended retreat.

Another Chance
This legendary armory ship was a massive transport ship used to carry all of Alderaan's weapons off-planet, as part of the planet's Project: Another Chance. A converted Alderaanian War Frigate, the ship was programmed to continually jump through hyperspace until called home by Alderaan's council of elders. It was accompanied during this time by three Alderaanian warships, which were slave-circuited together. The Another Chance was manned by a collection of droid workers, programmed to maintain the ship and protect it against unauthorized entry. Many of the stories of ghost ships near the Alderaan system report seeing this ship. The Another Chance was actually recovered by Alliance sympathizers shortly before the Alliance's defeats at Derra IV and Hoth, when Orinn Tathis returned to the Graveyard of Alderaan in an effort to locate the remote calling device. He hoped to turn the weapons carried within the ship over to the Alliance, in an effort to help them fight back against the Empire.

Ansion
This planet was located near Vortex and Bilbringi, and was orbited by two moons. The homeworld of the Ansionian people, Ansion was a world covered with sweeping grasslands and plains. This landscape was often swept by high winds, as there were few mountains to break up the wind. As a result, most species found on the planet were either avians which rode the winds or sure-footed enough to remain on the ground. However, there were stands of trees and sharp, volcanic vents dotting the landscape, breaking the seeming monotony of the plains. Some ten years after the Battle of Naboo, Ansion was one of the first planets to vote to secede from the Old Republic, an event which held great political implications. Unknown to many, Count Dooku and the leaders of the growing secession movement had planned to use Ansion as the first of several planets to actually secede. Hoping that a plethora of planetary alliances would be enforced, Dooku believed that many more planets would follow Ansion and secede, thereby destroying the already fractured Republic. However, the Jedi Knights were dispatched to ensure that Ansion remained part of the Republic. Eventually, an accord between the peoples of the plains and the city dwellers was made to remain with the Republic, forestalling a great turmoil in the Republic. Decades later, Ansion was overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong as they made their way toward Coruscant some twenty-seven years after the Battle of Yavin.

Ansionian
This humanoid race was native to the planet Ansion. There were two main races of Ansionians native to the planet, differentiated mainly by physical stature. The dominant race stood just shorter than standard Human stock, while the other race - known as the Gwurran - was much smaller. Wiry and lean, Ansionians were distinguished by their bulging eyes and single nostril, as well as the stripe of fur which sprouted atop their heads and ran down their spine. This fur was a source of pride for individual Ansionians, and each individual had a unique coloration patterns to reveal their individuality. The skin of an Ansionian was yellow in color, and their mouths were filled with fine, sharp teeth. Each hand and foot ended with three digits, but all their fingers and toes were opposable. Their physiology differed greatly from that of a human, and it was known that the average Ansionian had more than one heart. Because of the convex, protruding formation of their eyes, Ansionians could not blink or squint. As a people, Ansionians used only a single name to identify each other. When an individual wanted to display pleasure or approval, an Ansionian would pop their knuckles in rapid succession.

This Mairan Jedi Master assisted Odan-Urr at the Great Library of the Jedi on Ossus, during the decades leading up to the Great Sith War. It was believed that Master Anstak had been an outcast among his people because of his connection to the Force. His offices were located deep under ground, so they survived the initial cataclysm caused by the Great Sith War and the creation of the Cron Drift. However, the planet Ossus experienced many seismic events in the wake of the supernova, and Master Anstak was trapped in his offices during one earthquake. This quake also opened a fissure in the lower levels of the Jedi library, and Master Anstak was drowned when water flooded the lower levels. His records, however, were largely preserved, and were discovered by archaeologists many millennia later, during the final decades of the Old Republic. A holorecording made by Master Anstak before his death revealed the location of a lost city on the planet Kamino, where several ancient Jedi artifacts had been stored. However, investigations into the location of Kamino proved fruitless, and the search for the lost city was eventually abandoned.

She was a sturdy being, well-muscled and ready for anything. When Soara and her Padawan, Darra Thel-Tanis, were dispatched to Radnor to ensure an orderly evacuation of the planet, they were separated when the Jedi Masters on the team - including Obi-Wan Kenobi, Siri Tachi, and Ry-Gaul - went into the city of Aubendo, while their apprentices - Anakin Skywalker, Ferus Olin, and Tru Veld - remained in Tacto. The Jedi were cornered in a canyon after discovering that the plague in Aubendo was dying out, and Soara's leg was injured before the Padawans rescued the Masters. Later, Soara was part of the delegation that brought relief supplies to the failing world of Nuralee, along with Thel-Tanis. With the completion of this mission, the pair were attached to the team that was dispatched to Korriban to apprehend Granta Omega. In one of the final battles, Soara was devastated when Darra took several blaster bolts in the chest, as she leaped to protect Ferus. Darra eventually died of her wounds, and Master Soara returned to Coruscant with a heavy heart. Her period of mourning was cut short by the onset of the Clone Wars, and Master Antana was among the many Jedi Masters who were killed during the conflict.

(GG4, NEGA)
Antar 4
The fourth of six moons orbiting Antar, Antar 4 had an unusual rotational axis that was nearly parallel to its orbital plane. This configuration wreaked havoc on the moon's seasons. It also affected the moon's day and night cycles, as both sides of Antar 4 sometimes existed in daylight when the planet Antar was not eclipsed by its sun. During these eclipse phases, Antar 4 received virtually no light, except what was reflected off other moons. Antar 4 was the homeworld of the Gotal race, which developed sensitive horns that allowed them to exist on Antar 4's ever-changing face.
Just over sixty percent of the moon's surface was covered with water, resulting in huge tidal fluctuations that prevented polar ice caps from forming. The crust of the moon was made up of various metals and minerals, although the primary element seemed to be magnetite. The high proportion of magnetite was believed to have influenced the development of the Gotal race's signature cones.
Antar 4 was the site of one of the earliest battles of secession during the build-up to the Clone Wars, some nine years after the Battle of Naboo.

Antarian Rangers
A para-military group based on several planets, the Antarian Rangers were formed by Marus Timpel and Kaskutal on Antar 4, some 600 years before the Battle of Yavin. The mission of the Antarian Rangers was simply to assist and aid the Jedi Knights in any way possible, although they were most often employed as front-line troops in battlezones. They were trained to be masters of any environment, in order to meet the various challenges assigned to them. The Jedi Council refused to comment on their position toward the Antarian Rangers, although they allowed it to continute to grow and expand over the years. Many individual Jedi valued their assistance and dedication, especially in situations where military force was needed. In the coming centuries, as the Jedi Order became more conservative and insular, they began to turn away from the use of separate organizations like the Antarian Rangers. This meant that the amount of work available to the Rangers began to diminish, and the organization was forced to drastically reduce its manpower. During the Clone Wars, the Antarian Rangers were able to briefly expand their efforts in support of the Jedi involvement in the war. Unfortunately, whole groups of Antarian Rangers were killed off, and many of the survivors scattered and went underground. Those that remained loyal to the Jedi found themselves hunted down as part of Emperor Palpatine's Jedi Purge, further reducing the organization's size and scope. Only a few groups managed to survive the Galactic Civil War, but they were openly sought out by Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. In the years following the Battle of Endor, the organization grew slowly, but proved to be invaluable during the formation and protection of the Great River during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy.

Antbbianplourr III
The long-standing Emperor of Eiattu, he was Gror Pernon's brother. He became Emperor during the last years of the Old Republic, and reigned until he died during the Galactic Civil War. It was at this time that he was succeeded by his son, Uthorrferrell Cartha. Antbbianplourr's reign was characterized by the fact that he bartered away his planet's pride and honor in order to maintain his seat during the initial wave of Imperial conquests.

Ante-Endor Association
A group of fanatics who spread propaganda that states the Battle of Endor never took place, and that the Empire still holds sway in the galaxy. The roots of the AEA were based on Mrlsst, spreading from the remnants of Imperial control there. Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron were caught up in the AEA's propaganda, and tried to convince its followers of the truth of the Battle of Endor. However, the AEA preached an elaborate tangle of fabrications about the events of the Galactic Civil War, the end result of which dictated an Imperial victory over the Alliance.

Antenepalp
This was the term used to describe the retractable antennae of the Balosar race. These organic receptors allowed a Balosar to hear things which normal humans could not. Many Balosar criminals used these antenepalps to listen into conversations surreptitiously, retracting them when they needed to avoid attention.

Anti-Artist Federation
This group of activists caused a stir in the art world of the planet Malastare, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Made up an eclectic mix of beings, the Anti-Artist Federation maintained that much of the art that was being produced wasn't actually art at all. Their mission was to expose these "frauds" who were collecting huges prices for their art, which they was being produced to the detriment of the environment or to inter-species relations. Quite often, the acts of the Anti-Artist Federation resulted in lost revenues for artists, which made the Federation unpopular in certain circles.
(BH)
Anti-blaster Energy Field
This type of energy dissipation field was developed by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. It was concurrently created by I'att Armaments. The theory behind the field was that the energy from a blaster bolt could be absorbed and dispersed across the surface of stormtrooper armor. The problem with the system was that the dispersion created an intense amount of heat that literally cooked the trooper inside the armor shell. I'att Armaments discovered a way to eliminate this problem with the addition of a heat dissipator unit and by imbedding zersium into the body glove worn by troopers. The body glove was also important because it protected the flesh of the trooper; the dissipation field unpredictably damaged living flesh. Moff Eisen Kerioth executed the leaders of I'att Armaments and tried to replicate the design for himself, but was unable to perfect it because Tinian I'att had appropriated several key components.
(TFE)
Antibreach System
This was a specialized form of starship system that was used to partition off parts of the ship in cases where the ship's hull was breached. When a hull breach was detected, the antibreach system would seal off the damaged sections of the ship, preventing the loss of atmosphere until repairs could be made.

Anticoncussion Field Generator
This starship device created a stabilizing force field that kept cargo and passengers from feeling the effects of collisions with energy bolts or physical impacts. These generators were developed primarily for starships, but larger models were also built to protect space stations. These systems were fairly expensive, and were generally used on passenger liners and other transport vessels. The anticoncussion field generator worked by creating an umbrella-shaped magnetic field that absorbed the kinetic energy of the objects that impacted it. It protected a starship by compressing around the impacting object, absorbing its energy and dispersing it along the rest of the magnetic field.

Anti-Corr 113
This corrosion preventative was used to protect equipment from heat and environmental damage during shipment. It was developed by ColuChem scientists who wanted to transport equipment through the toxic environment of Clak'Dor VII, and soon found its way into galaxy-wide use. It took decades to break down or evaporate, and can only be removed with powerful chemical solvents. It had the side effect of turning whatever it touches a dull shade of blue.

Antig, Drolen
This Nalroni was a smuggler who was known to betray his co-workers for the right price, especially if the entire price went into his coffers. He worked the Sisar Run and the Sanrafsix Corridot during the height of the New Order, and remained active into the early years of the New Republic. He was wanted by the New Republic for the theft of four gyroscopic stablizers that were taken from the Slayn & Korpil design center in the Roche Asteroid field. Drolen had employed a trio of Advozsec thieves to help with the job, and he killed them as soon as it was completed. Drolen operated from his personal ship, the Trustworthy. He was distinguished by the trousers he stole from a Corellian spacer, and maintained the broken gold stripe of a second-class Bloodstripe.

Antigrav Drive
Any starship power plant which allows the force of gravity to be negated, allowing the ship to rise up and through the atmosphere. They were also called repulsorlift drives, and were used in-system, so that the effects of the hyperdrive were not brought on a planet's inhabitants.

Antigrav Lifter
This cargo moving device was used to move heavy boxes and equipment from one place to another. The cargo must be first loaded onto the lifter, which acts like a hand truck.
(POT)
Antigrav Tube
This was a form of public conveyance that allowed beings who were moving on foot to travel between two locations at different levels of a city or large building. Similar to turbolifts, antigrav tubes used repulsor energy to gently move beings up or down, depending on their desired destination. Unlike turbolifts, antigrav tubes did not use a sealed "car" to transport beings, but instead simply allowed them to drift up or down in the direction of traffic flow. Thus, a being who wanted to move up several levels within a spaceport simply walked into the "up" antigrav tube and was pushed upward. When they reached their desired level, the being simply walked out of the tube.
(CN3)
Antigrav Whisk
This cooking implement was used to whip liquid ingredients into each other, to homogenize a blend or to emulsify disparate ingredients. The antigrav whisk employed a tiny repulsor that helped prevent the mixture from falling under its own weight, eliminating gravity in the immediate area and allowing a chef to build up the body of the mixture.

Antilles, Corellia
This woman was a xenoarchaeologist who spent much of her career searching out potentially dangerous artifacts, retrieving them so that the New Republic could safeguard them. On one mission, Corellia uncovered what she believed to be an ancient Gree device in the jungles of Asation. She spent much of her time in the spaceports of Satikan, hoping to find a crew to help her recover the device from its hiding place. She was forced to hide it when a group of wild Gree attacked her after she took the device from their tribal city. She barely survived the trip to Satikan, and most of her survey crew was killed in the flight. A group of Te Hasan Gree managed to intercept her, and took the device - known as the Khoz'zhak - back to Te Hasa in exchange for credits and a lesser device. When a group of prisoners escaped from the facilities on Delrian, Corellia was among the many beings who were brought in to help handle the crisis.

Antilles, Iella Wessiri
This Corellian female was an associate of Corran Horn and Gil Bastra, during the height of the New Order. She was married to Diric Wessiri, and was a member of the New Republic Security forces. She and Corran were teamed up in a tour of duty that involved trips to Kessel. She was later planted on Coruscant as an undercover agent, assuming the alias of Irin Fossyr, a representative of the Rohair Biochemical Clinic. In this capacity, she assisted Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron when they were sent to Coruscant to knock out the planet's shields. The offensive was successful, despite the fact that the Krytos virus was loose, and Iella emerged from her anonymity.
She was chosen to assist Halla Ettyk during the trial of Tycho Celchu, and was busy gathering data when her husband, Diric, reappeared after being in Imperial captivity. She had given him up for dead, and was quickly becoming friends with Wedge Antilles. She remained loyal to Diric, and was both ecstatic and concerned at his presence. While she loved having him back, Diric was physically emaciated and tried to remain as active as he was in the past. He was constantly talking with Tycho Celchu, and was convinced of his innocence despite Iella's evidence. When Nawara Ven told her that he was going to produce an Imperial witness to solve the Celchu case once and for all, she discovered that the Imperial wanted to meet only with Ven and herself. She agreed, and met Kirtan Loor in a secret entrance to the Imperial Justice building.
However, her husband Diric had learned that an Imperial had been captured, and he believed it to be Evir Derricote. Diric ambushed the three of them as they emerged at the prosecutor's level, and began firing shots. He caught Ven in the right hip before fatally wounding Loor. Iella acted quickly to try and save their witness and bring the assassin to justice, and shot her weapon several times. It was only after the shooting stopped that she realized who the attacker was. Diric died from his wounds just as Kirtan Loor did. Iella was very distraught, but continued on the case until Corran Horn returned to prove Celchu innocent.
During this time, she also discovered that she felt some attraction to Wedge Antilles, who was two years older than her, but his duties kept them from becoming serious. Iella remained with the New Republic, and served with Elscol Loro during the infiltration of Thyferra during the Bacta War. She later joined the New Republic Intelligence agency, and was one of the key investigators working to hunt down Leonia Tavira and the Invids. She was also one of the agents who was blind-dropped into Adumari society, just before the planet opened negotiations between the Republic and the Empire for membership. She had felt that her work had distanced her from Wedge, along with his relationship with Qwi Xux. However, they were reunited on Adumar, where Wedge explained that his relationship with Qwi had ended. They rekindled their romance in the face of a civil war started because of the actions of Tomer Darpen.
After the battle was over and Darpen had been arrested, Iella was named to be the Republic's key Intelligence contact on Adumar, in his place. She also agreed to marry Wedge, and together they started a family of their own. After the Second Battle of Coruscant, Iella became one of the founding members of the Inner Circle formed by Wedge, and was assigned to lead the intelligence branch of the group's activities.
In the wake of the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, Wedge and Iella retired to a home in Coronet, on Wedge's homeworld of Corellia. However, their peace only lasted a few years before Thrackan Sal-Solo again threatened to secede the Corellian System from the Galactic Alliance. Wedge was named he Supreme Commander of Corellia's military forces, but his tenure was cut short when a mission to assassinate Tenel Ka was thwarted by Galactic Alliance forces. Wedge was forced to step down, and Iella knew that he would not be allowed to survive. Before the new Corellian government could assassinate him, Iella and her daughter, Myri, arranged with Corran and Mirax Horn to get Wedge off-planet as soon as his "retirement" was announced. They received unexpected help from Lando Calrissian and Han and Leia Solo, and together they fled Corellia for the Kuat System.
There, the group met up with the Errant Venture, where Booster Terrik agreed to take them in. Iella and Myri were given the chance to serve as sabacc dealers aboard the ship, after proving their skills as dealers to Booster himself. This allowed the two women to gather valuable information from the pilots and independent spacers who passed through the ship, helping them piece together what was really happening in the Corellia-GA War. Iella later helped Han and Leia Solo with their mission to infiltrate the Anakin Solo, with Iella providing a specially-modified mouse droid that the group used to override the Star Destroyer's security systems. She also accompanied the Solos on a mission to infiltrate the Anakin Solo and rescue Allana, the daughter of Tenel Ka, during Jacen Solo's attempt to take control of Centerpoint Station. Their mission was eventually successful, and Allana was returned to her mother on Hapes.

Wedge's father, Jagged owned the Corellian Inter-System Marketing Station and fuel depot on Gus Treta with his wife, Zena. He and his wife were killed when the Bonestar Pirates, trying to escape from Corellian authorities, purposely lifted off while the refueling lines were still attached to their ship. The resulting explosion threatened to destroy Gus Treta, but Jagged and Zena sacrificed themselves to limit the destruction to their depot.

Antilles, Jon
This Jedi Master was one of the many students trained by the Dark Woman. No one in the Jedi Order believed that Jon Antilles was his real name, since many of his missions involved the infiltration of enemy territory. After attaining the rank of Jedi Master, he refused to take a Padawan learner, choosing instead to roam the galaxy wherever the Force guided him. After each of his missions, which included gainined access to the Bounty Hunter's Guild and bringing known Jedi-killers to justice, the Jedi Temple feared he was dead. Master Antilles, however, always seemed to find a way to return unharmed. Unfortunately for the Jedi Order, Master Antilles died during the early stages of the Clone Wars. He had been part of the team dispatched to recover the antidote to the swamp gas used to destroy life on Ohma-D'un, and had attacked the bounty hunter Durge as soon Master Diath was killed. His attack bought Obi-Wan and Master Fay enough time to track down Asajj Ventress, but Durge was too strong. He forced Master Antilles into the lave, drowning him and burning his body instantly.

This alias was used by a member of the Liana Liberators, when the rented the luxury ship Perihelion and tried to establish a computer slicing center in the Cularin System, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Antilles was supposedly a research student working for Doctors Dantari and Raine, a pair of xenobiologists from the Alderaanian Biological Research Institute who were traveling in the Cularin System to explore its wide variety of flora and fauna. The ruse was eventually discovered by the freelance crew of the rescue vessel Starchaser IV, who worked with Shiana Trist to apprehend the Liana Liberators and bring them to justice.

Antilles, Myri
This girl was the younger daughter of Wedge Antilles and Iella Wessiri. Named in honor of Mirax Terrik Horn, Myri was barely a year old at the time when Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade were married. As she grew up, Myri took after her mother, and developed an inquisitive nature that led her to eavesdrop on many of her parents' conversations. During the years following the Swarm War, Myri attended college and graduated with honors. She was actively recruited by both the Corellian Intelligence agency and the Galactic Alliance Intelligence Service, but ultimately chose to work for her home government.
True to form, she maintained both recruiters in her database on contacts, in case events should ever warrant a change in allegiance. This allowed her to be in Coronet when the Corellian government attempted to assassinate her father, after he failed to succeed in aiding the Heritage Council of Hapes in deposing the Queen Mother, Tenel Ka. Working with her mother and Corran Horn, Myri helped extricate Wedge from the trap that had been laid for him.
The group, which included Lando Calrissian, Han Solo, and Leia Organa Solo, fled Corellia for the Kuat System, where they were welcomed aboard the Errant Venture. There, Myri and her mother were offered the chance to serve as sabacc dealers, after both women showed great skill in dealing cards and controlling the game. This allowed them to mingle with the ship's guests and gather information from the galaxy at large, in an effort to ascertain what was going on during the Corellia-GA War. Onboard the ship, it was Myri who first proposed that the entire war had been predicated on eliminating the various members of the Solo and Skywalker families, so that they would be unable to act against the swelling tide of war. Although this theory never gained any support, the fact that the two families were intertwined continued to be a recurring discussion point.
As the war ground on, Myri remained on the Errant Venture, where she served as a source of intelligence and knowledge, and made a small fortune gambling with the smugglers.

Antilles, Raymus
A starship Captain working for the Organa family, Antilles was in command of the Tantive IV for many years as a Captain in the Royal Alderaan Civil Fleet. Antilles was a member of the family that produced Alderaan's Queen, Breha Organa, although he had no royal title. His tenure extended back to the Clone Wars, when he piloted the ship to Polis Massa after Chancellor Palpatine revealed that he was Darth Sidious and took control of Courscant. Antilles was related to Alderaan's queen. Years later, along with his friend Bail Organa and his daughter, Princess Leia Organa, Antilles was also a supporter of the Alliance. In the wake of the Clone Wars and the birth of twins by Padme' Amidala, Antilles was given ownership of C-3PO and R2-D2, and told to wipe their memory banks clean. Antilles only managed to erase C-3PO's memory, an action that he did often to ensure that no information would ever reveal that Princess Leia was in fact the daughter of Anakin Skywalker. These memory wipes later helped hide that fact that R2-D2 contained the stolen plans to the first Death Star. Antilles was killed by Darth Vader on board the Tantive IV when he refused to divulge the location of the stolen Death Star plans. Vader physically strangled him, in a show of brute strength. Note that in the novelization of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, Antilles' name was Colton.

Antilles, Syal
This woman was better known as Wynssa Starflare, one of the most popular holodrama stars of the New Order. She grew up with her family, which included her younger brother, Wedge, in the Corellian System, but was not enamored with the life of a starship mechanic. She longed for more, and just before her twentieth birthday, Syal left her family and moved to Coruscant to pursue an acting career. Wedge was seven at the time, and he never got a chance to know her. She changed her name shortly after the death of her parents, and went on to become famous. During a party on Coruscant, she met Soontir Fel, who had been stationed on the planet shortly after the Battle of Yavin. They fell in love almost immediately, and Syal was forced to admit to Fel her true name and relationship to Wedge Antillies. Fel told her that it didn't matter, and they were eventually married.
When Fel was tested by Ysanne Isard and was lost at the Battle of Brentaal, Syal fled Coruscant and hid from Imperial reprisal. Fel spent the rest of his career trying to find her. They were reunited shortly before the re-emergence of Grand Admiral Thrawn, and together they gave birth to five children, including a baby boy, whom they named Jagged. After the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy, the couple retired to the Chiss homeworld of Csilla, where they felt it was safer to live among the Chiss. After many years on Csilla, Syal became much like her Chiss hosts, distrustful of the rest of the galaxy. When Luke Skywalker arrived on Csilla during the search for Zonama Sekot, she openly questioned the motives of his expedition. Her attitude only hardened when her son, Jagged, left Csilla on a fact-finding mission and chose to remain with the New Republic. When Coruscant fell to the Yuuzham Vong, Syal came to believe that the Republic was doomed, and she did not want her family to go down with them.

Antilles, Syal
This young girl was the first daughter of Wedge Antilles and Iella Wessiri, and was named for Wedge's sister. She was born during the height of the New Republic, just before the marriage of Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade. Despite the benefits of being the daughter of a war hero, Syal wished to make it on her own as a pilot. So, when she was old enough, she traveled to Ralltiir and changed her name to Lysa Dunter, then set out to join the military of the Galactic Alliance.
She trained in the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, and was eventually stationed aboard the battle carrier Dodonna with the Vibrosword Squadron of Eta-5 Interceptor pilots. Her ruse was discovered shortly afterward, when she found herself flying against her own father in the opening battle between forces of the Galactic Alliance and the Corellian Defense Force, after Thrackan Sal-Solo threatened to secede the Corellian System from the rest of the Galactic Alliance. Although her military commanders threatened her with a dishonorable discharge, Syal was spared that fate by an Intelligence agent who knew her mother. Syal was then offered the chance to fly an Aleph-class fighter in the defense of the Galactic Alliance's base on Tralus, provided that she legally change her name back to Syal Antilles.
During this time, her family bonds were stretched thin, since her father had become a leading military figure in the Corellian military. They spoke whenever possible, but this was usually not often. Syal herself was unsure of her feelings for her father. It was in the midst of the war that Syal met Tiom Rordan, and the two soon fell in love. They decided to become engaged, but made no official announcement, because they wanted to wait until the war was over to get married.
After the formation of The Confederation, Syal was assigned to duty aboard the Blue Diver, flying an Aleph-class fighter as part of Dancer Squadron. Her role as Dancer One put her on the point when Jacen Solo agreed to a deep-space rendezvous with delegates from Corellia. When Solo was nearly intercepted by the Red Sword Flight of StealthX fighters, Syal and her squad helped to drive the Jedi off. As a reward, Solo promoted her from Lieutenant to Captain. However, the rendezvous was actually a trap that had been laid by Sadras Koyan and other Corellian leaders, in an effort to assassinate Jacen Solo. The Corellians fired the Centerpoint Station repulsor at the rendezvous location, hoping to destroy the Anakin Solo. Although the Star Destroyer survived, most of the Second Fleet ships that were escorting it were destroyed. Among the ships that were lost was the Mawrunner, and among the crew who were killed was Syals' fiance, Tiom Rordan.
The promotion to Captain did little to assuage her grief, and only the appearance of Syal's uncle, Tycho Celchu, helped to ease her pain. Celchu was aboard the Anakin Solo on a fact-finding mission, part of his role as a military analyst working for Cha Niathal. Syal admitted that the war seemed pointless, unlike the simple fight-or-die mentality of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. She also admitted that most everyone she talked to was afraid of Jacen Solo and what would happen if the fighting escalated. Celchu offered to help her get out of the military, if she needed the time off, but Syal refused, hoping to serve some good within the military despite the insanity around her. In order to gain more perspective on the galaxy, Syal and Tycho set out to have a rendezvous with Luke Skywalker and the Jedi Order, which had abandoned the Galactic Alliance during the Battle of Kuat.
When the Jedi left Endor to rendezvous aboard the Errant Venture, Syal was reunited with her father. Together, they agreed to join Master Skywalker's mission to disable Centerpoint Station, thereby preventing Jacen Solo or any other being from using it as a weapon.

Antilles, Wedge
Born on Corellia, Wedge spent much of his childhood working for his parents on the last planet in the Gus Treta system. Note that the Marvel Comics adaptation of Star Wars: A New Hope indicates that Wedge was a native of Tatooine, while issue 78 claims that Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles were both natives of Tatooine, and were the oldest and best of friends. His parents, Jagged and Zena, owned a fueling station there, and Wedge became proficient at starship systems. He also gained a great deal of piloting skill there, and was ready to go to the Academy when a pirate ship, the Buzzzer, under the command of Loka Hask, got spooked at the fuel depot when a Corellian Security Force fleet arrived.
Hask ordered them to lift off, but the crew forgot to unhook their refeuling coupling before blasting away. The resulting fuel leak was ignited, and Wedge's parents were forced to eject the fueling station in order to save the rest of the station. Note that the Star Wars Screen Entertainment software indicates Wedge was away at school when the accident happened, that the accident was caused by smugglers, and that the smuggler's ship was destroyed in the resulting explosion. Both of Wedge's parents were killed in this effort, and Wedge - who was with Booster Terrik at the time - went after the pirates in an old Z-95 Headhunter. Although he managed to destroy the Buzzzer, Wedge's lack of funding led him to start taking all kinds of odd jobs, and was getting nowhere as a smuggler when he decided to join the Alliance.
He quickly demonstrated his abilities as a fighter pilot, and also ran a number of reconnaissance and escort missions before being tapped as one of the X-wing pilots in the Battle of Yavin. In the ensuing strggle against the Empire, Wedge's growing skills earned him a number of distinctions, the greatest of which came when he was named squadron leader of the famous Rogue Squadron. While with Rogue Squadron, Wedge assisted Lando Calrissian during the Battle of Endor, and helped destroy the incomplete Death Star being built there.
He remained as Rogue Leader through the restructuring of Rogue Squadron, and his squadrons provided invaluable support in the battles against Ysanne Isard and Grand Admiral Thrawn. It was during this time that Wedge also developed the idea of Wraith Squadron, which he successfully implemented and modified into a crack infiltration unit.
After turning down two promotions, Wedge was promoted to the rank of General about a year before the defeat of Thrawn, and was offered the command of the Star Destroyer Lusankya. He also chose to remain with the Rogues, but was assigned, along with Calrissian, to command the captured Star Destroyers Emancipator and Liberator when Emperor Palpatine's clone emerged from Byss. He fought bravely at Coruscant and Calamari, although the Emancipator was destroyed on Calamari.
He later returned to Coruscant, where his primary role in the New Republic was changed from pilot and warrior to General and clean-up supervisor following the near-destruction of the planet. This was a short-lived assignment, though, for his desire to pilot a starship quickly outweighed the ease of being a supervisor. When that effort was launched, Wedge wanted to get back into piloting. He became the escort for the ship which dropped the Eol Sha colonists off at Dantooine, and then was named Qwi Xux' bodyguard.
During this time, Wedge began to fall in love with Qwi, while also returning to Rogue Squadron and assisting the Republic in the assault on the Maw Installation. Wedge was assigned to the Lusankya, which served as his base of operations, for the purposes of commanding a special task force. However, after several years of war, Wedge began to realize that he had grown apart from Qwi. What he didn't know was that she felt they had grown apart as well, so they both agreed to end the relationship and go their separate ways.
Wedge decided to take a vacation and figure out what to do with his life, when he was chosen by Airen Cracken to lead the delegation to Adumar. Wedge's diplomatic skills were not the greatest, but his gut instincts proved more valuable in swaying the Adumari to join the New Republic. During the mission, he also discovered that he and Iella Wessiri were in love with each other, and he quickly proposed to her. Iella accepted almost as quickly.
Shortly after peace was negotiated between the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant, Wedge retired from active duty, and he and Iella set to work starting their own family. Wedge was eventually succeeded by Gavin Darklighter, although the former pilot provided assistance to Gavin during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Wedge served as Rogue Alpha during the struggle against the Vong, piloting a reconnaissance X-Wing to gather data. Shortly after the Battle of Garqi, Wedge discovered that he was not only a father but an uncle as well, after meeting Jagged Fel for the first time. Wedge was eventually promoted to the rank of General, and was given the command of the Mon Mothma during the final stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. He barely survived Operation Trinity after the Yuuzhan Vong managed to destroy much of the HoloNet, and returned to help plan the defense of Mon Calamari and the Galactic Alliance's final assault on Coruscant.
With the surrender of the Yuuzhan Vong at Coruscant, Wedge and many of his contemporaries vowed to retire from the military life once and for all. Some ten years later, Wedge found himself again in battle, although this time on the side of his native Corellians, when Thrackan Sal-Solo attempted to secede the Corellian System from the Galactic Alliance. Although he was kidnapped by agents of the GA and brought to Coruscant, Wedge quickly escaped and returned to serve as a military advisor to Five World Prime Minister Aidel Saxan.
When Sal-Solo removed the Minister of War from power and inserted himself into the position, Wedge became the liaison between Saxan and Sal-Solo. When Sal-Solo threatened to force Wedge's daughter Syal to return to Corellia and participate in Operation Noble Savage, Wedge refused to support the action, despite the fact that it might have meant his death. He eventually joined Han Solo in the attacks on the Galactic Alliance base on Tralus, and managed to keep his daughter from being killed in the fighting. In the wake of the attack on Tralus and the assassination of Thrackan Sal-Solo, Wedge was promoted to Supreme Commander of the Corellian military forces, joining Dur Gejjen on the Corellian High Command.
His tenure lasted only a short while, as he did not fully embrace the Corellian High Cabinet's plot to assassinate the Hapan Queen Mother, Tenel, Ka. The mission ultimately failed, and the failure was blamed on Wedge. This allowed Gejjen and the Cabinet to remove him from command, replacing him with Admiral Genna Delpin. The move was not unexpected to Antilles and his wife, nor was the assassination attempt on his life after his "retirement" was announced. He was helped to safety by his old friends, and remained hidden onboard the Errant Venture for many months. When Luke Skywalker and the Jedi Order broke off its ties to the Galactic Alliance, and Han and Leia Solo began working with the Jedi to bring Jacen Solo to justice, Wedge was reunited with his daughter, Syal. They agreed to serve as the leaders of Rakehell Squadron, a starfighter unit that was put together as part of Luke Skywalker's plans to disable Centerpoint Station and ensure that it couldn't be used as a weapon by Jacen or any other being. Wedge served as Rakehell Leader during the mission.

Antilles, Zena
Wedge Antilles's mother, Zena was killed near Gus Treta when she and Jagged attempted to limit the firestorm caused by the Bonestar Pirates to their own depot. This effort saved the rest of the station, but ultimately killed them.
(XWPA)
Antilles Maneuver
Named after Wedge Antilles, this starfighter attack maneuver was devised at the Battle of Yavin, in an effort to save Luke Skywalker. In this maneuver, an attacking starship tries to kill an enemy who was in pursuit of a comrade. The attacker approaches the enemy while hidden in front of the comrade. The comrade's ship breaks off at the last moment, leaving the enemy in the sights of the attacker. A quick burst of blaster fire took the enemy by surprise.

Anti-magnetic Polarization Ray
This energy beam was developed to disrupt the magnetic forces holding certain materials together by polarizing individual molecules so that they repelled each other, rather than attracted one another.
(MC49)
Antimatter Bomb
This experimental warhead was developed by the Empire, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. It was essentially an explosive that contained a small amount of antimatter, which was released into the blast radius when the bomb went off. Any matter in the blast radius was immediately annihilated when it came into contact with the antimatter, making this weapon exceptionally deadly. It was also exceptionally dangerous to transport and deploy, and use of antimatter bombs was limited to a few select engagements. The most notable of these engagements was the Empire's subjugation of Shiva IV, where General Sk'ar used an antimatter bomb to level the city of K'avor.
(OWS)
Anti-Matter Pod
This unusual weapon was part of the arsenal used by the unusual entity known simply as Ship. When ejected from its interior, anti-matter pods drifted outward toward the enemy. When the anti-matter pod came into contact with solid matter, the resulting explosion nullified everything in its blast radius.
(MC38)
Antin, Adem
This young boy was the son of Doctor Amie Antin, and a native of the planet Bellassa during the lasyt years of the Old Republic. After the Empire took control of Bellassa, Inquisitor Malorum threatened to kidnap the ten-year-old boy if Doctor Antin didn't cooperate with the Imperial forces on the planet. Adem was eventually placed in hiding through the efforts of the Eleven, so that he was protected from harm.
(LJ1)
Antin, Amie
This woman was one of the most respected experts in the field of neurotoxins, during the last years of the Old Republic. The mother of a young son, Amie worked from a facility on her homeworld of Bellassa. Unknown to her peers, Doctor Antin was a supporter of the resistance group known as The Eleven, and treated many of its members after they were injured on missions to cause trouble for the Imperial forces that occupied the planet, during the early years of the New Order. She was careful not to fully join The Eleven, however, but only so that she could continue her own work.
She agreed to accompany Roan Lands and Trever Flume on a mission to meet up with Ferus Olin and infiltrate the offices of Imperial Governor Wilhuff tarkin, in the city of Ussa, after Roan and Ferus agreed that the Eleven needed to more about what was going on in the city. Much of Ussa's industry was being retooled, but the purpose explained by the Empire didn't match up with rumors that the technology would be shipped to Despayre. Ferus also feared that the so-called Twilight project might have implications for Bellassa, so they agreed to undertake the risky plan.
Unfortunately, Darth Vader had been tracking Ferus' movements, and confronted them in a hallway. Before anyone could react, Vader ignited his lightsaber and killed Roan. He then had Doctor Antin and Ferus sent to prison, while Trever escaped to warn the other members of the Eleven about what had happened. While Ferus was "rescued" by Emperor Palpatine, Doctor Antin was to be sent to a penal colony. Ferus managed to return to the Eleven, and came up with a plan to rescue Doctor Antin before she was shipped off-planet. She then helped Ferus with his investigation into the background of Darth Vader by scouring a wealth of information he had obtained from the Emperor Palpatine Surgical Reconstruction Center. Her investigation pointed to Vader being on the planet Mustafar just after the end of the Clone Wars.

Antipersonnel Field Projector
This starship defensive system was used to keep living beings from attacking the exterior of a starship. Similar to an antitamper field on a droid, the antipersonnel field projector covered the hull of a starship with electrical energy whenever the presence of an unwanted being was detected. The energy coursed through the being's body, incapacitating them and often repelling them away from the ship at the same time.

Anti-Republic Liberation Front
This was one of the many insurgent groups that came into existence in the wake of the Battle of Ruusan, 1,000 years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. The ARLF was one of a hundred militant groups which argued that the Galactic Senate of the Old Republic was no longer capable of acting on behalf of the galaxy, especially after the passing of the Ruusan Reformations. These insurgents urged that disillusioned star systems should secede from the Republic and become independent entities.
The Anti-Republic Liberation Front was founded on Serenno, and was led by a man named Hetton when it began to grow more militant in its operations. Its members all came from wealthy families, and despite their varied backgrounds, they were all committed to the group's ideals. Led by a man named Hetton, the group included the Twi'lek warrior Kelad'dan, the heavily-muscled man named Paak, and a Chiss separatist named Cyndra. About ten years after the Battle of Ruusan, the ARLF planned to kidnap several prominent officials during the annual Armistice Celebrations, hoping to gain a measure of power and lend credence to their demands. They believed that demanding a hefty ransom would generate interest in their mission, and unite other groups to work toward overthrowing the Galactic Senate.
However, when Kelad'dan arrived with a woman named Rainah, he urged the group to abandon their plans for the Armistice Celebrations and attempt to assassinate former Chancellor Tarsus Valorum. Valorum, Kelad'dan argued, was the source of the problems in the galaxy, since he was responsible for the Ruusan Reformations and the Unification Policies that they denounced. In the end, Kelad'dan's impassioned arguments - many of which had come from Rainah - convinced the ARLF to try and assassinate Valorum. Ultimately, the attempt failed, but it forced the government of Serenno to make a pledge to smash any separatist activity on the planet.
Hetton later revealed to Zannah that he had formed the ARLF in an effort to create his own army of warriors who could help him find a way to resurrect the Sith. His followers shared his hatred of both the Old Republic and the Jedi Order, and all their actions were meant to draw the attention of any surviving Dark Lords. Hetton believed that he had succeeded when Zannah appeared, but she eventually smashed his plans when she betrayed him to Darth Bane.
(DBRT)
Anti-restraint Programming
This form of droid programming was used only in certain situations, and allowed a droid to bypass a restraining system, such as a restraining bolt or plug. The programming included routines that shunted electrical power to the restraining device, flashing it and rendering it useless.
(CN2)
Anti-Sedition Provision
This section of the Galactic Loyalty Act provided the Galactic Alliance Guard and the members of the Galactic Alliance military the ability to forcibly put a stop to any gathering or activity that was deemed seditious or detrimental to the stability of the Alliance. Failure to comply with this provision could result in harsh penalties, including up to twenty years in prison.
(LF6)
Antisepsis Field
Developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, this specialized energy field was used to sterilize the area around a surgical patient, thereby minimizing the risk of infection. In essence, the antisepsis field killed any cellular body that came into contact with it. This included blood cells and bacteria, as well as any number of viral contagions.

Anti-surveillance Gauze
This cloth-like material appeared to be a simple, sheer material. However, scientists working for the Grand Army of the Republic had designed it that way to hide its true purpose. Anti-surveillance gauze could be used to cover windows, doors, or other openings, just like regular drapery or sheeting. However, when viewed from the outside, the gauze created the illusion of something else beyond the portal it concealed. Specially-designed photoactive micro-emitters were woven into the gauze, and could be programmed to create the images that were seen by beings on the outside. With simple programming, the gauze could show a static image of the room beyond, making it seem as if nobody was inside the room. It could also be programmed to show an image of a being who was not actually present, thereby hiding the presence of the room's true inhabitants. More advanced programming could create moving images across the surface of the gauze, making it appear as if there were movement inside the room.
(RCTZ)
Antitamper Field
This was a form of security system that was used to protect a droid from being tampered with or stolen. The field was essentially a halo of electrical energy that was emitted whenever the droid was in trouble. The system could be activated by the droid itself, based on certain parameters, or it could be automatically engaged whenever the droid was forcefully moved or struck. The electrical discharge covered the droid's body and shocked any being who was in the immediate vicinity, jolting a limb into immobility or even rendering an individual unconscious, depending on the preset strength of the electrical field.

Antone
This Bakuran technician was assigned to help Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin Solo activate the Drall repulsor during the Starbuster plot. He had a reason to help, since his aunt lived on the planet Bovo Yagen, primary planet around the third star listed on the Starbuster agenda. After the Sacorrian Triad was brought down, Antone remained aboard Centerpoint Station as a technician. It was Antone who discovered that the Station's repulsors would be inoperable without Anakin Solo's help, since every system on board had imprinted itself with his fingerprints, DNA, and brainwaves.
(SC, JE)
Antonin
This man was a vigo to the criminal organization Black Sun, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. A bounty was placed on his head by Dreddon the Hutt, and Jango Fett was hired to capture or kill him. Despite his security measures, Antonin was captured and killed by Fett. Unknown to Fett, Antonin himself had placed a bounty on Dreddon, a job which Zem Wesell completed shortly before Fett could be paid. Both bounty hunters were unable to obtain payment for their respective jobs.

Klin followed Dannen's scent, and was forced to subdue the Bloxian thugs in order to secure a picture.
(SWJ1)
Anx
Native to the planet Gravlex Med, this race of tall humanoids was distinguished by their unusual skull structure. A tall bony ridge extended nearly a meter in length from the back of their head, and their lower jaw also jutted outward with a bony ridge. Anx were exceptionally tall and lanky, standing about four meters in height, with a muscular tail that helped them keep their balance. This physiology pointed their ancestory, as the Anx were descended from herbivores that fed from the chiliox trees. Modern Anx continued to exist as vegetarian ruminants, as each individual processed their chewed cud in no fewer than three separate stomachs.
The skin of an Anx was capable of changing color, and the areas around the crest were especially adaptable. The color changes expressed by an Anx's emotions were basic enough that other races and species could understand them, a fact that meant many Anx were poor sabacc players and negotiators. Many politicians took to wearing crest cloaks in order to hide their true emotions.
As a species, the Anx were known to be courteous, serene beings who rallied around whatever group they were a part of. Many millennia before the Clone Wars, the Anx discovered interstellar flight, and colonized many of the star systems in their sector. They left behind many small colonies of Anx, some of which eventually died out or were abandoned. One of these settlements, on the planet Shusugaunt, was discovered by xenobiologists of the Old Republic, who believed that the skeletons they found were of an aquatic race of creatures. Further investigation eventually led the Old Republic to discover the Anx on Gravlex Med.
During the era of the New Order, Gravlex Med was used as a dumping ground for much of the Empire's toxic waste, and the planet was reduced to a devastated wasteland. The native population of Anx was decimated, and the few survivors fled to the colony worlds established by the Anx millennia before.

(CCW)
Anzat
This race of humanoids closely resembled mainline human stock, at least externally. To many beings in the galaxy, the Anzati were more myth than reality. Although outwardly similar to humans, internally their composition differed greatly from that of pure human stock. Many would claim that the primary difference was that the Anzati had no pulse to speak of, while others would point to the fact that the Anzati have proboscii hidden inside their cheeks that could be extended out from their nostrils. These proboscii were used to consume the brain of the Anzati's victim. The Anzati placed his face nose-to-nose with its victim, and the proboscii were then extended into the victim's nostrils and then into the brain, where they consumed the brain and all its life energies. The Anzati referred to the brain and its energies as "soup," a reference to the Sea of Memory that was believed to surround the planet Anzat. In addition to a lack of a pulse, which pointed to the strangness of their circulatory system - if one existed - that average Anzat had no real biological rhythm; they simply existed. When they required rest, they dropped into a deep coma-like state. Certain feral species of Anzati also had the ability to exude long, rope-like tendrils that could be used to wrap up a victim and immobilize them for later feeding. It was unknown how long a member of the Anzati race could live, but it was believed that the average lifespan could be measured in millennia. This long lifespan led to the Anzati belief that most other races existed in the galaxy as livestock to be harvested. It also led to increasingly unstable and obsessive behavior as an Anzat aged. Young Anzati were not given names by their parents, but were instead allowed to choose a name that allowed the youth to blend in with their chosen food source. These young Anzati set off on their own after about 100 years, when they reached puberty and were allowed to hunt on their own.

Anzat
This planet was the homeworld of the Anzat race of humanoids. Very little was known of this world, as most every explorer or scientist who ever had reason to travel to Anzat never returned. The Anzati themselves only returned to the planet Anzat in order to reproduce. What was known was that the planet was located in farthest reaches of the Mid Rim, near the Perlemian Trade Route. On many nights during the local year, Anzat experienced intense auroral lights in the sky, an event which many Anzati claimed was the manifestation of the Sea of Memory.

Aora, Aruk Besadii
This Hutt was one of the most powerful members of the Besadii clan. A sibling of Zavval, it was Aruk who placed his nephew Kibbick in control of the Ylesian spice processing facility. Almost 900 years of age at the time of the inception of the New Order, Aruk was so corpulent that he was unable to perform simple movements. Aruk and Jiliac were the two most wealthy and powerful Hutts of their age, and they were continually striving to outdo each other in terms of profits. Aruk gave birth to the disfigured Hutt called Durga, and raised the child in the face of opposition from many other Hutts. When Jiliac realized that Aruk was going to cut off the supply of spice and slaves from Ylesia, he contacted Teroenza. The two devised a scheme in which poisoned nala-tree frogs - a favorite delicacy of Aruk's - were fed to the old Hutt. Aruk consumed the frogs with abandon until his system could no longer take the abuse. Aruk died form the continual poisoning, and his nephew, Durga, suspected foul play. Durga had Aruk's body frozen and sent to Coruscant for an autopsy, where the poison was identified and isolated.

This AP-series attack droid was produced by Arakyd Industries for the Empire, shortly after the Battle of Endor. Officially designated as the Armored Platform, Model 1, Combat unit, these droids had a humanoid torso, but in place of a head the AP-1-C had a second torso armed with a repeating blaster and an array of sensors. A power pack was also mounted on the back of the droid. These droids were equipped a speciallized communication system that allowed an AP-1-C unti to communicate with and coordinate the activities of the AP-2 and AP-3 droids. AP-series attack droids were used in those situations where organic stormtroopers were unavailable. These droids were pressed into service during the Battle of Cadinth.
(GAL2, OWS)
AP-2
This AP-series attack droid was produced by Arakyd for the Imperial forces fighting against the New Republic, shortly after the Battle of Endor. The designation came from their official description as the Attack Platform-2 droid. Like the companion AP-3 droid, the AP-2 was designed to receive orders from an AP-1-C droid that was commanding a pool of AP-2 and AP-3 droids. Highly mobile, the roughly humanoid AP-2 was armed with a light repeating blaster, a pair of heavy blasters, a pair of micro-grenade launchers, and a hand-held blaster pistol. A broadband antenna was used to receive command signals from the AP-1-C droid.
The AP-2 was the foot soldier of the AP-series, attacking front-line troops and allowing the AP-3 units to fire their rockets from a distance. In this way, advancing squads of AP-2 droids could press their attack while the AP-3 units soften up the enemy's fortifications.
(GAL2, OWS)
AP-3
This barrel-shaped Imperial attack droid was developed by Arakyd during the early years of the New Republic. Officially designated as the Attack Platform-3 unit, these droids were designed to act on the orders of the AP-1-C commander unit. The AP-3 was armed with a blaster cannon, six rocket tubes, and a micro-torpedo launcher. A broadband antenna allowed it to receive signals from the AP-1-C series, and a repulsorlift engine provided propulsion and mobility on the battlefield.
Where the AP-2 unit was designed to directly attack enemy forces, the AP-3 was often kept to the rear of a formation, where it could launch its rockets from a safe distance. This allowed the AP-3 to soften up an enemy fortification in advance of the AP-1-C and AP-2 droids.

AP-300
This was the model number of Kuat Drive Yards' Asteroid Prospector. At 350 meters in length, the ship was designed to swallow whole asteroids and partially refine them within its holds. The craft was crewed by 500 officers and 36 gunners, and could transport up to fifty passengers and 80,000 metric tons of ore. Because the ores it refined were at least twenty-five percent pure, the AP-300 was armed with eight laser cannons. Four tractor beam projectors assist in moving asteroids into position to bring them aboard.

This was a series of general purpose mess-hall droids manufactured during the early years of the New Republic. Kir Kanos used one to fly a Scimitar Assault Bomber in orbit around Yinchorr, after he fled the planet Phaeda. General Wessel fell for the trick, and brought the bomber aboard the Emperor's Revenge. The bomber was rigged to explode upon opening, taking out the Star Destroyer just after Carnor Jax escaped.

Apailana
This young woman succeeded Jamillia as the Queen of Naboo when she was just thirteen, during the height of the Clone Wars. Despite her age, Apailana knew much of the history of the Old Republic, and respected its ways and the support it received from the Jedi Order. Thus, when she learned that Senator Padme' Amidala had been murdered by the Jedi during the Jedi Rebellion, she found herself unable to believe it. She secretly knew that something was wrong, especially after seeing Senator Amidala's body and its mysterious pregnancy. In response to the new Empire's demands, Queen Apailana only marginally agreed to support it. In her private chambers, however, she told her advisors that Naboo would welcome any Jedi who escaped the Order 66 command. Meanwhile, Naboo officials went out of their way to appear compliant, yet worked to thwart the Empire at every opportunity. Apailana herself refused to remove the word "Republic" from any government documentation, and never gave Inquisitor Malorum a straight answer to any of his questions when he traveled to Naboo in search of information on the death of Senator Amidala. Her actions eventually caught up with her, however, when Queen Apailana's actions found their way to Darth Vader. The Sith Lord dispatched the Imperial 501st Legion to Naboo, where they quickly eliminated Apailana and her supporters. She was succeeded by a more compliant monarch, who was loyal to the Empire.

Aparo Sector
This area of the galaxy, along with the Wyl Sector, formed the Imperial border with the Corporate Sector, during the height of the Galactic Empire. The Aparo Sector was controlled by Moff Wyrrhem during the height of the Galactic Civil War. In ancient times, the Aparo Sector was known as the first place that the Sith Empire attacked the Galactic Republic, about 3,681 years before the Battle of Yavin. The Sith were able to wipe out the Republic's meager forces in the sector, gaining a foothold in Republic space before Republic forces could arrive as reinforcements.

Apatros
This was ostensibly the capital city of the planet Apatros, although it was actually little more than a collection of ramshackle buildings and semi-permanent dormatories. Known as the muck-huts to the miners who lived there, the colony of Apatros was established more than 1,000 years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War, when the Outer Rim Oreworks Company discovered the presence of cortosis ore in the small planet's rocky crust. At its height, the entire colony of Apatros was barely a kilometer square.

Apex Incisor
This was a one-shot, anti-vehicle missile produced by Golog-Bertum during the early years of the New Republic. It was a simple weapon to operate: simply point the nose at the intended target, allow the Apex Incisor to gather spectral analysis data, and them arm it. The weapon's internal drives were ignited, and it launched into the air to hunt down the target. The only drawback to this weapon was the intense heat generated at launch, which could severely burn the user if they didn't evacuate the launch area fast enough.

This species of bloated, white-fleshed worm was discovered living at the bottom of some of the deepest mines dug into the planet Vasha, during the early years of the New Republic. The mouth of an apilid worm was crowned by sharp mandibles, which it used to dig through rock and ores, crushing pieces small enough that they could be digested. The average apilid worm measured about a meter in length, but they swarmed in huge colonies that resembled writhing knots of corpse-flesh. Once the apilid worms were exposed, they attacked the nearest heat source, and their jaws were capable to tearing flesh from the bones of Vashan or Ayrou alike.

Chik was known for his skills with hand-to-hand combat, especially with knives. While on Coruscant, it was also revealed that Chik had been having a somewhat platonic affair with the Moff's wife, Anlys. He was captured by Mara during his attempt to steal her wedding dress. Anlys had given Chik the address of Jari'kyn's studio, and Chik dressed in his finest Imperial armor to attack the Twi'lek. He was unprepared for Mara's presence, and she caused him several serious injuries before remanding him to the custody of the police.

Apocia
This species of hardwood tree was native to the planet Bethal. The hardwood from apocia trees was harvested by many corporations for export across the galaxy, creating Bethal primary source of income. In order to preserve the apocia for future generations, growers planted new trees every year, and harvested only those trees that had reached maturity. Although apocia trees were plentiful, they were slow-growing trees. It took nearly 200 years for an individual specimen to mature enough to be harvested.
An infestation of greddleback termites decimated the population of apocia trees around the time of the Battle of Yavin, promting an aggressive replanting effort in order to bring the apocia back into production. This effort, coupled with a concerted effort to destroy the greddleback termite population, proved to be quite successful. In the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, apocia hardwoods were used in a variety of products, from furniture to flooring.

This challenge to the leadership of the New Republic was championed by Senator Viqi Shesh, and supported by those Senators who had no love for the Jedi Knights. The Appeasement Vote, if it had passed, would have required the New Republic to turn over the Jedi Knights to the Yuuzhan Vong, thereby meeting the alien invaders' demands and halting any further invasion of the galaxy. Popular support for the vote came from the Core Worlds, where substantial amounts of credits would be lost if the Yuuzhan Vong attacked and destroyed major commerce centers. Ultimately, the Appeasement Vote failed, especially after Senator Shesh's dealings with the Yuuzhan Vong were exposed.

Appo
This was the nickname used by one of the many clone trooper commanders who were utilized during the final stages of the Clone Wars. Appo was assigned to guarding the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, until Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and began to take control of the galaxy. Upon hearing the signal to execute Order 66, Commander Appo accompanied Anakin Skywalker on a killing spree inside the Temple. Appo - otherwise known as Commander 1119 - pursued Padawan Zett Jukassa to the doors of the Temple, but was injured by the youngling's lightsaber just before his troops were able to kill the boy.
In the wake of the Jedi Rebellion, Commander Appo was assigned to lead the special operations forces of the 501st Legion, serving directly under the command of Darth Vader during the subjugation of New Plympto and Murkhana. His tenure serving under Vader came to an abrupt end on Kashyyyk, several months later, when Vader confronted Olee Starstone on the jungle world. Although Vader had his way with the Padawan, nobody was prepared for the unexpected arrival of Roan Shryne. Shryne took Siadem Forte's lightsaber and decapitated Appo before the clone commander could even raise his weapon.

Apprentice
This was the rank given to those members of the Sith civilization on the planet Kesh who were chosen as students by a Sith Lord or Master. Apprentices were chosen from the ranks of the Tyros, and were forced to be separated from their family for a full year, immediately upon their choosing. During this year, Apprentices were rigorously trained by their Master, and were not allowed to have any of the trappings of a normal life until they were tested and ascended to the rank of Saber. In this way, an Appentice proved to their Master that they were capable of living - and succeeding - with nothing. Many Apprentices were bonded to an uvak prior to being chosen for training, and the creature was taken away by their Master as one of the first lessons. "As I take the reins of your beast, so I take the reins of your life" was the ritual expression used at this time, cementing the relationship between Master and Apprentice. If an Apprentice cried out at the loss of the uvak, the creature would be put to death, further driving home the lesson that a Sith Lord could not love anything so much that they could not bear to lose it. Further lessons included the living arrangements for Apprentices, which were austere and primitive. All Apprentices lived in a communal area that lacked privacy, reinforcing the idea that all Apprentices were equal.

(SWDB)
Apprentice Tournament
This was one of the few chances that students at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant had to actually practice their fighting techniques in real combat. The tournament was held on a regular basis, especially during the early stages of the Clone Wars, as a way to give students more experience in fighting before they were dispatched to farflung planets to combat the Separatists. It was open to those students who were at least ten standard years of age who had either been exposed to combat as a Padawan or were physically stronger than their peers. It was also open to students who were not yet Padawans, since these students had the most time to prepare. The tournament was basically a test of the combatants' lightsaber skills, but they were allowed to use any advantage provided by their surroundings. Hand-to-hand fighting and the use of the Force were allowed, since they were available to a fighter in the real world. The only things that were off-limits were injuries or threatening positions to spectators. Each match was decided by one of two events: three touches with a lightsaber, or one combatant yielding to the other. Often the initial rounds were held in controlled environments, while later rounds provided students with more realistic fighting circumstances.

Aqinos
This Sunesi Jedi Master set out to locate the Shard individual known as Ilum, several years before the onset of the Clone Wars. Originally trained by Jaled Dur, Aqinos had been one of a handful of Jedi Masters who had advocated the investigation of Force-sensitive droids and machines, a pathway that many on the Jedi Council had not advocated. He refused to buy into the argument that droids and technology were the same, stating that those hypocritical beings who subscribed to it were only proving that droids were sentient by differentiating them from other forms of technology. Aqinos believed that there was merit in the melding of technology and The Force, and set out on his own to investigate. Once he learned about and located Ilum, Master Aqinos agreed to train Ilum and her twelve offspring in the ways of the Jedi. When the Clone Wars erupted across the galaxy, Aqinos and Ilum decided to join the Jedi Knights in their struggles against the Separatists. The sudden appearance of Force-sensitive Juggernaut droids was unnerving, and although the new warriors - dubbed the Iron Knights - helped win many battles, the fact that Aqinos had set out without prior approval meant that his work with Ilum was abandoned. Aqinos himself was excommunicated from the Jedi Order, along with the rest of the so-called Iron Knights, and he returned to Dweem. Ilum returned to Dweem with her Master, but she was killed during the Jedi Purge. Aqinos himself lived for many years, until he was killed during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy.

It was armed with a turret-mounted medium blaster cannon, and its cockpit was designed to provide continual "heads-up" viewing by using gyroscopic stabilizers similar to those on the B-Wing starfighter. If the ship was heavily damaged, the gyro-locks release the pilot's cabin and allow it to avoid further damage.

Aquala
One of the subspecies of the Aqualish race on Ando, the Aquala lived on floating raft cities and sailing ships, which allowed them to remain close to the water. The Aquala were called the finned Aqualish, since they retained their paddle-like fins instead of fingers on their hands. The Aquala were considered to be of a lower social caste by their cousins, the Quara Aqualish, even though the Aquala made up nearly ninety percent of the Aqualish population. Many centuries before the planet Ando was discovered by the Old Republic, the Aquala blamed the Quara for the steady decline in the harvests of fish from the seas, and ignited a racial war that lasted several generations. The war was ended when an exploration vessel of unknown origins landed on Ando. The two subspecies stopped fighting each other long enough to join forces and destroyed their visitors. The two groups then reverse-engineered the ship and discovered how to fly it. They then build their own ships, although the process was painstakingly slow for the non-technical Aqualish. The uneasy truce was soon broken, and the two groups took their battle to Ando's sister planet, utterly destroying it. The two groups banded together years later, when the Old Republic first discovered Ando, but they were soundly defeated by the superior technology and sheer numbers of the Republic's military.

Aqualish
A walrus-faced race of bipeds from the planet Ando, the Aqualish were a belligerent species with three distinct races. There were also three castes of Aqualish society, based on which race an individual was part of. The higher caste had two eyes and five-fingered hands with opposable thumbs, and was known as the Quara. The lower caste had four eyes and cupped, fin-like hands, and was known as the Aquala. The smallest and least known of the three races was the Ualaq, which had four eyes like the Aquala, as well as fingered hands like the Quara. The distinction between the subspecies and castes was very great. The Quara Aqualish generally held governmental and commercial positions, while the Aquala Aqualish were usually left to become bounty hunters and smugglers. As a race, the Aqualish were a belligerent yet technically-advanced race, although their history of warfare prevented any major innovations of their own. The Aquala lived in vast sailing ships, while the Quara and Ualaq livde on the planet's small islands. They had a long history of civil war, dating back generations to a point when the Aquala blamed the Quara for a steady decline in the fish populations of Ando's oceans. This war lasted until an exploration ship of unknown origins landed on Ando. The two groups banded together to kill the ship's crew and take possessoin of the vessel. Eventually, the non-technical Aqualish reverse-engineered the ship and discovered how to fly it, and eventually learned how to build their own ships. The old grudges between Quara and Aquala soon resurfaced, though, and the two factions took their battle to Ando's sister planet, which was destroyed by the battles that were waged on its surface. The Aqualish subspecies banded together a second time, when the Old Republic first discovered Ando, but the Aqualish were no match for the technological and numerical superiority of the Republic's military. When the Empire arrived and tried to subjugate Ando, the war-loving Aqualish tried to overthrow them. The sheer might of the Empire battered the Aqualish into submission, but it instilled a deep hatred in the Aqualish culture. The Aqualish retreated from the greated galactic community, refusing to join another government.

This race of near-humans evolved on the planet Velusia. Descended from the original human explorers who found the planet millennia before the Battle of Yavin, the Aquar evolved to become more adapted to their aquatic environment.

The nose of an Aquar was flattened, and instead of two nostrils there were three horizontal slits. An Aquar could breathe underwater just as well as on land, giving them the ability to exist in either realm.

When his distress call lured the Millennium Falcon to the Graveyard, Arakkus was beseeched by Han Solo and Luke Skywalker to leave the place. He refused, claiming that he had rigged the Graveyard with negatron to explode if someone tried to remove him from it. Han realized that such an explosion would free the Falcon, but Arakkus fled into the depths of the station, rather than go back to the outside world. Han and Luke detonated the negatron, destroying the Graveyard and killing Arakkus.

Arakyd Industries
A major manufacturer of droids, heavy weapons, and starships, Arakyd was founded some 9,000 years before the Galactic Civil War by Veltzz Arakyd on the planet Vulpter. Much of Arakyd's corporate history was filled with violence, most of it based on Veltzz Arakyd's business goal of eliminating all his competitors, by whatever means necessary. Arakyd flaunted the regulations of the Old Republic, routinely creating combat automata and their weaponry. Arakyd was known to bully its way into negotiations and force other bidders out of the deal through thinly-veiled threats of violence and bodily harm. During the build-up to the Clone Wars, Arakyd executed the hostile takeover of Viper Sensor Intelligence Systems, essentially stealing the plans for what would become the Viper probe droid. Although Arakyd allied itself with the Techno Union during the Clone Wars, its leadership made sure that their droids stayed off the battlefield, thereby continuing to do business with the Old Republic. A huge windfall came when Senator Palpatine from Naboo was elected Supreme Chancellor, and then gave Arakyd a huge contract to produce probe droids for the Republic. After taking control of the probe droid market from Galally Industris, Arakyd made a name for itself during the New Order by securing several high-profile deals with the Empire. The Viper Probe Droid was one of their greatest achievements, as it marked one of the most successful attempts to use artificial intelligence in a military application. After the Battle of Endor, Arakyd continued to remain loyal to the Imperial remnants, and produced the XR-85 Tank Droid for use when the Empire battled the New Republic for control of Coruscant. However, as the Empire dwindled and eventually became the Imperial Remnant, Arakyd altered its stance and began to sell its products without regards to political backgrounds.

Ar'alani
This female Chiss served as an Admiral in the Chiss Defense Fleet during the years following the Battle of Naboo. As a member of the Defense Hierarchy, her family name had been removed from her formal name, as a reminder that she was serving all the Chiss people, not just her family and their interests. Admiral Ar'alani was one of the few Chiss who had encountered the Far Outsiders and survived to report on their presence, although few within the Chiss command structure were reluctant to launch a counter-attack. In the years that followed, Ar'alani was often at odds with the Field Commander Thrawn, whose actions bordered on preemptive attacks on the enemies of the Chiss. However, she was also of the opinion that, with respect to the Vagaari, Thrawn was correct in trying to eliminate their threat before it reached Chiss space. Thus, when Thrawn managed to capture a Vagaari treasure ship, Admiral Ar'alani made an effort to impound the treasure and refused Thrawn's plans to provide a portion of it to Dabruk Qennto and his crew. However, when Syndic Mitth'ras'safis requested her to look into the activities of Thrawn after the apparent loss of the Whirlwind, she was forced to obey, but chose to keep her true intentions a secret. She even allowed Thrawn to use Jorj Car'das as a pawn in his plans, outwardly believing he was a spy and therefore "forgiving" Thrawn when Car'das "escaped" in a shuttle. However, Car'das was dispatched to lure the Vagaari into the trap Thrawn had set, a trap that was designed to capture both the Vagaari and the Outbound Flight. The plan worked to perfection, and Admiral Ar'alani then took up the next phase of the operation. One of her transports was turned into a rescue ship, as thousands of Geroons were freed from Vagaari slave ships, and Admiral Ar'alani set out to liberate their homeworld and restore their freedom. In her absence, she allowed Thrawn to provide data on the Far Outsiders to Kinman Doriana, in exchange for his loyalty and assistance in eliminating the Vagaari and the Outbound Flight.

Aramadia-class Thrustship
This Yevethan warship design was a sphere-shaped craft equipped with Aradian pulse-lifters for propulsion. They were also called T-types. There were two basic models of thrustship: an unarmed troop transport and a fully-armed warship. The warship was graded at medium-cruiser-class weaponry, armed with eight main laser cannon batteries spaced around the ship to defend any angle of attack. Up to four batteries could be linked together, to concentrate fire on a single target. They were also armed with several concussion missile launchers. What made the Aramadia-class so strong in battle was the fact that their spherical shape made it easy to shield. The smooth, rounded surface allowed maximum shielding capability with minimal power input, unlike a boxy starship which required multiple generators. The T-type thrustship measured 240 meters in diameter, and required a crew of 6,810 Yevethans along with 49 gunners. It could transport up to 1,600 troops and 10,000 metric tons of cargo. Each was armed with 8 turbolaser batteries, 3 proton torpedo launchers, 4 gravity bomb launchers, 4 missile launcher batteries, and 6 ion cannons.

As a people, the Aramandi were governed by the religious beliefs of the Eeronon, and divided themselves into four distinct castes or akia: the Orma, Cirra, Mila, and Lota. The Aramandi jealously controlled the Aramand Cluster, within Brak Sector, mainly because it was the the area of their birth. As the Lant Mining Corporation exhausted its worlds, they beganmaking overtures to the Aramandi, hoing to gain access to the Cluster. With the advent of the New Order, the Aramandi were also courted by the Empire, and given elaborate concessions to allow a simple garrison to be erected on Aram. In return, the Aramandi were basicaly left alone.

He managed to survive the chaos the occurred in the wake of the Clone Wars, and fled to Kessel to answer Master Shadday's call edto join up with the other Jedi fugitives who had gathered there. The Jedi were unaware that Master Shadday had leaked information that Obi-Wan Kenobi would be on Kessel, in an effort to lure Darth Vader into a trap. Master Shadday believed that the combined strength of the Jedi would be more than enough to defeat the new Sith Lord. Thus, Arana and his comrades were surprised by the arrival of Vader, who destroyed many the Jedi before they could flee. During the fighting, Arana and Bultar Swan managed to disarm Vader, but Swan demanded that they take Vader into custody. Arana urged that they kill the Sith Lord while they had the chance, and refused to accept Swan's reasoning. Succumbing to the Dark Side of the Force, Arana took his lightsaber and killed Swan, then turned his aggression on Vader. However, he was no match for the skills of the Dark Lord, who used Shadday's cortosis sword to stab Arana in the chest, killing him instantly. According to Vader's own report, Arana went mad when the Sith Lord arrived, and stabbed Bultar Swan with a lightsaber during the melee. Vader then cut Arana down with his own blade. Official reports later issued by Imperial HoloVision claimed that Arana was killed by other Jedi in a scramble for control over the remnants of the Jedi Order.

Arc Hammer
This Imperial warship was essentially a huge, floating manufacturing facility that was built at the Kuat Drive Yards to the specifications of General Rom Mohc for his Dark Trooper project. The long, dagger-shaped ship was built at a cost of billions of credits, but housed the entire production facility for all three phases of the Dark Trooper project. Before the Dark Troopers could be put into production, however, Kyle Katarn was able to penetrate the ship and defeat Mohc in combat, despite the fact that Mohc had donned a Phase Three Dark Trooper unit as an exosuit. The Arc Hammer was destroyed when Katarn defeated Mohc, and the Dark Trooper project was smashed. Emperor Palpatine himself refused to sign off on the construction of a second such vessel, instead directing funds toward the construction of the second Death Star.

ARC-170
Officially known as the Aggressive ReConnaissance starfighter, this ship was developed by Incom/Subpro for the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. The thirteen-meter-long central fuselage was connected to a pair of sturdy wings. Note that Star Wars Episode III - Incredible Cross-Sections indicates that the ARC-170 measured 14.5 meters in length. To disperse excess heat and to increase maneuverability, two smaller wings could be extended from the fuselage on each side of the ARC 170, one above and one below the stationary wings. This configuration made the overall wingspan of the ARC-170 almost 23 meters. The ship was armed with a pair of medium laser cannons, two rear-mounted blaster cannons, and six proton torpedoes.
Unlike traditional starfighters, the ARC-170 required a crew compliment that included a pilot, co-pilot, and gunner, as well as an astromech droid to operate. The ARC-170 was one of the first Republic starfighters to be equipped with a hyperdrive, eliminating the need for a hyperdrive ring to travel across interstellar distances. This configuration, with a Class 1.5 hyperdrive and an impressive array of sensors, allowed the ship to operate as both a heavy assault fighter and a long-range surveillance or scouting craft. However, while it was durable in combat, it was considered slow and unresponsive, and the ARC-170 was expensive and difficult to keep in top operating condition. Regular maintenance was required to ensure that the ARC-170 was ready for combat, and its three-person configuration required additional training and support. It was eventually phased out of production when the TIE Fighter was developed for the Empire.

This was the name used by Jedi scholars and historians to denote the first lightsabers ever developed. Unlike the elegant weapons of the Jedi Knights used during the last decades of the Old Republic, the archaic lightsaber was designed as a siege weapon. Using "frozen blaster" technology, these lightsabers required a separate power pack which was often worn on the back. Over the millennia, the Jedi Knights were able to miniaturized most of the components used in the construction of a lightsaber, most notably power sources, to create the simple weapon known to most beings of the modern era.

Arcona
The Arcona were a race of scaleless, bipedal serpents with an anvil-shaped head and marble-like eyes. Between their eyes was a small bulbous knob that was used as a heat sensor and supplement to their eyesight. While they lacked noses, Arcona could "taste" scents because of the olfactory nodes located in their tongues. Like other reptiles, Arcona constantly flicked their tongues in and out, tasting the air for smells. Their skin resembled fibrous wood, and ranged in color from dark mahogany through gray to ebony.
The Arcona were native to the planet Cona, where they evolved to breathe the planet's ammonia-laden atmosphere. Thus, individual Arcona who travelled off-world required ammonia supplements in order to survive. When irritated, the eyes of an Arcona exuded a milky, tear-like fluid that served to flush out any particulate matter. Socially, Arcona arranged themselves into hive-like groups called Grand Nests. They were farmers by nature, tilling Cona's desert-like surface to cultivate plants that stored water in their root systems. Most of these farms were located on the fringes of the cities that sprang up around the headquarters of the various mining operations on the planet.
The absence of salt in their environment became a source of trouble for the Arcona, as its presence in foods caused a hallucinatory reaction. Thus, many Arcona who travelled the galaxy became addicted to the substance on occasion. Such salt-addicted Arcona were noticeable by their glowing yellow eyes, a result of a chemical interaction between the salt and their optic nerves. The result of ingesting salt was a hallucinatory vision that played across the Arcona's eyes. However, increased levels of salt also broke down the pancreas' ability to convert ammonia into a water-conserving enzyme, and was thus deadly to the Arcona. The strong family bonds of Arcona society stemmed from the males of the species, who spend months or years researching prospective mates before uniting with a female for life.

A main pulpit jutted out from one point, where Poggle the Lesser and other clan leaders could pronounce whether an individual was to die immediately, or was destined to fight one of the vicious creatures kept beneath the arena. Set off-center on the Arena floor were several free-standing columns, to which prisoner were chained during their "trial". Several portals opening off the main arena floor led to the underground catacombs where huge beasts were starved and goaded into vicious rages before they were released into the arena. In this way, any being sentenced to death in the arena had to face an exceptionally angry opponent, which added to the spectacle.

Argazda
Located in the Kanz Sector, this planet revolted against the Old Republic about 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. Its provisional governor, Myrial, declared the Kanz Sector independent, and began to forcibly conquer other planets in the sector. Lorrd was one of these planets, whose cries for help fell on deaf ears, for the Old Republic was too busy to help. The Kanz Disorders lasted nearly 300 years before a group of Jedi Knights could be dispatched to end them.
(CSA)
Argazdan
This was the name given to the green-skinned natives of the planet Argazda. It was believed that the origins of the Argazdan civilization could be traced back to the first Vianist missionary ships that arrived in the Kanz Sector, many millennia before the onset of the Clone Wars. During the years that followed the Great Sith War, the Argazdan people subjugated many races, including the Lorrdians, during the Kanz Disorders. After they were defeated on Lorrd by the combined forces of the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights, the Argazdans retreated to their homeworld. Over the following millennia, they slowly re-integrated themselves into the day-to-day life of the Kanz Sector, and most modern Argazdans felt deeply ashamed of the actions of their ancestors.

Argdran, Mikos
This short, pudgy man was something of an infochant, playing the Elrood-Derilyn Trade Route and exchanging useful information with the highest bidders. He was once employed by Lud Chud, but doublecrossed the Rakaan crimelord by alerting Tanda Pryl and the Thunderflare of an attack by Chud's forces. The pirates were decimated at the hands of a fully-prepared Imperial Star Destroyer, and Mikos was captured. Lud Chud then discovered that Argdran had stolen a number of computer datafiles, and had a team of bounty hunters throw Mikos out of a passing cargo ship. Luckily for Mikos, a team of Alliance agents was passing by the area, on a search for Shondra Del. Lud Chud, upon learning of Argdran's survival, employed a team of Loag assassins to hunt down Mikos, and the Alliance team was forced to travel to Merisee to throw off the pursuit. The Loag were able to track Argdran by the weak signal produced by the stolen datafiles. However, Argdran and the Alliance team were rescued from the assassins by the Thunderflare, believing they were simple ore transporters. Argdran, however, was captured by the Empire on Derilyn and forced to fight in the Arena of Games. After being rescued by Shondra Del, he pledged his support to the Alliance.

Argent Lady
This new Ghtroc Cargo Empress-class freighter was owned by Cosmohaul Shipping. It was loaned to a group of freelance mercenaries by Paxtrell Snoygal, in the hopes that the mercs could stop the piracy which was plaguing Cosmohaul's transports. The Snoygal had hired a new crew to transport 100 R5 droids to Sullust. The crew turned out to be Xalto Sneerzick and his followers, who were trying to free the droids. He had inserted an "emancipation virus" into their programming, but one of his droids rebelled and shot him. The Argent Lady was pursued and captured by an Imperial Patrol Craft, but its crew was overtaken by the mercenaries and left stranded. The Argent Lady returned to Cosmohaul, but not before one of the infected R5 droids escaped in a life pod.

Argente, Passel
This Old Republic Senator was one of the first to support Queen Amidala's vote of no-confidence in the abilities of Chancellor Valorum. A Koorivan male, Argente was a tall humanoid with scaly green skin that had yellow coloration. His appointment as a Senator stemmed from his position as the Magistrate of the Corporate Sector during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Despite his position, Argente hated the Republic, and was known for his corrupt nature. He was also quick to blame his peers for his own mistakes. During the era surrounding the Battle of Naboo, Argenet allied himself with Orn Free Taa and Toonbuck Toora in their opposition to Chancellor Valorum. In the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis, Passel Argent was in control of the Corporate Alliance, and threw in his droid armies with Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Argente himself maintained a wondrous residence on the planet Murkhana, where the headquarters of the Corporate Alliance were housed in the Argente Tower. Just prior to the First Battle of Coruscant and the end of the Clone Wars, Passel Argente and the other leaders of the Confederacy of Independent Systems were whisked away to Utapau by General Grievous, in order to ensure their safety. There was little safety in this haven, however, after Chancellor Palpatine received information on Grievous' location. Argente and the other leaders were then sent to Mustafar, and told to await the arrival of Darth Vader. The weak members of the Separatists were unprepared for Vader's true mission, and Passel Argente died when he was cut open by Vader's lightsaber.

Arg'garok
This was the traditional axe used by Gamorrean warriors. The weapon consisted of a heavy axe blade, often acid-etched with runes to inspire the warrior, which was mounted on a thick wooden handle. The arg'garok was perfectly balanced to take advantage of a Gamorrean's low center of gravity, and was difficult for taller, thinner races to wield. This weapon was preferred over more high-tech weapons, such as blasters, which were deemed cowardly to use on Gamorr.

After Vanis was captured by Imperial forces, Yom Argo fled to warn the Alliance about his capture and lead a rescue effort. Unfortunately, Yom Argo was killed when he crashlanded on Lahsbane just after he left the Bothans. His astromech droid managed to survive the crash, and tapes of its data were held by the Lahsbees in honor of the Lahsbee individual who also died in the crash. However, when the Lahsbees discovered that the tapes were part of a high-technology system, they gladly turned them over to Leia Organa and the Alliance.

Argyus, Fro
This man served in the personal guard that protected Chancellor Palpatine, during the height of the Clone Wars. Despite his position, Captain Argyus remained a member of the Blue Guards, although he had a special sigil painted on his blue armor to indicate his rank. After Senator Padme' Amidala was nearly assassinated on Rodia, Chancellor Palpatine dispatched Captain Argyus and his men to ensure Padme's safe return to Coruscant. Aboard the Tranquility, Captain Argyus and his men were confronted by Asajj Ventress, who had infiltrated the ship in order to free Viceroy Nute Gunray. Ventress quickly dispatched the other guards, then used the Force to hurl Argyus against a bulkhead, rendering him unconscious.
Unknown to the rest of the Republic's forces aboard the ship, Argyus was secretly working for the Separatists. Well before the onset of the Clone Wars, he had grown tired of the military, and wanted to establish a carefree life on his own. He was secretly bribed by Count Dooku, who recognized that Argyus was in a position to help the Separatist cause at some point in the future. This occurred about a year after the Battle of Geonosis, when Argyus took a huge payment from Count Dooku to help free Nute Gunray. As soon as Ventress had drawn off Luminara Unduli and Ahsoka Tano, he was able to sneak into the ship's brig and free Gunray. Before he could make his escape, Captain Argyus was confronted by Clone Commander Gree, who had discovered his treachery. In their battle, Gunray was able to sneak behind Gree and knock him unconscious, given the two Separatists a chance to escape. When they rendezvoused with Asajj Ventress, Argyus demanded that his role in Gunray's rescue be detailed to Count Dooku. Ventress, wanting nothing to do with Argyus' conceit, drew her lightsaber and stabbed him in the back, killing him instantly.

This man was a member of the Believers, and was one of the handful who infiltrated the Metatheran Cartel's secret base on Tilnes, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, to unleash a deadly virus that would kill the Caarites who were working in the base. Unfortunately, a few of the Caarites managed to survive the virus, and became hulking monstrosities that had an insatiable desire to feed on reshly-dead bodies. Aris and Osia were the only two Believers to survive an attack by the mutated Caarites, and were forced to battle a group of freelance agents to ensure that the existence of the virus remained a secret. Aris set of an electromagentic pulse grenade during the fighting, rendering all electronics unusable and unleashing a second wave of the virus into the mines.

This well-muscled man was, at one during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, a respected professor of literary history at the University of Pangalactic Cultural Studies on Lorrd. He traveled the galaxy on expeditions with his students and colleagues, investigating the way in which literary archetypes from unrelated worlds were merged and unified as planets joined the galactic community. However, about ten years after the war, he learned that he had several incurable cancers of the lungs and other organs. Realizing that he only had a few months to live, Arisster decided to make a name for himself by blowing himself up in public. It was then that Arisster was apparently visited by the Force ghost of Aayla Secura, who asked him to talk to Nelani Dinn before doing anything rash. So, he captured a peer named Serom Haxan and strapped him to his back, with a layer of explosives in between their bodies. Arisster then placed himself into the huge aquarium in front of the Lorrd Academy for Aquatic Studies and demanded to see Nelani. The appearance of Jacen Solo made Arisster even more happy, because his own history would be tied to that of a famous Jedi Knight. Claiming that the only option available to him, Jacen used the Force to set off Arisster's explosives, killing both Arisster and Haxan in a blast that was largely contained by the aquarium. Jacen later explained that setting off the explosives in the aquarium limited the scope of the damage that Arisster might have caused.

Originally part of the ancient Sith Empire, Arkanian was a planet which had a great deal of Dark Side energy. For this reason, it was the world watched over by Jedi Master Arca Jeth during period leading up to the Great Sith War. It was a cool, tundra world known for its huge diamonds. Because of its location in the Colonies region, Arkania was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong during their invasion of the galaxy. It was used as a strategic base, allowing the Yuuzhan Vong access to the Hydian Way, the Perlemian Trade Route, and most of the Colonies. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, a theraputic cloning center was established on the planet, to generate replacement organs for individuals suffering from life-threatening diseases. Much to the dismay of these individuals, the onset of the Clone Wars brought about a halt to any non-military cloning, under Senate decree E49D139.41. This prompted the Galactic Senate to issue exemptions to planets like Arkania, which could acquire a license to perform therapeutic medical cloning.

The ship was originally designed to be a mobile headquarters for the Adasca family, to protect them from losing everything to the Sith, but over time became a medical facility that could accommodate needs of Arkanians throughout the galaxy. As the ship was handed down from generation to generation, the Adascas continued to improve the ship, turning it into a floating example of all that was good about Arkankian culture. Within its hulls were located the medical center, a university, and a domed conservatory that ran along the ship's dorsal hull, where luxurious dinners and musical performances were held. At its height, the Arkanian Legacy was home to some 104,079 Arkanians, as well as the 5,000 Arkanians who served as its crew. The ship could also accommodate up to 10,000 metric tons of cargo and supplies.
The Arkanian Legacy's design was unique for its time. The main fuselage was located in the center of the ship, and was supported by heavy outriggers that were attached to secondary hulls that contained hangars and other facilities. The two secondary hulls were connected by a tubular substructure that provided easy access between them. The ship's command center was located in a flying bridge atop the main fuselage, providing the crew with a full view of the ship's foresection. The hangar bays of the Arkanian Legacy could accommodate twenty-four fighters, eight shuttles, and Lord Arkoh Adasca's personal transport shuttle. Space was also available for visiting starships, so that scientists and supply vessels could dock temporarily. The weaponry found aboard the Arkanian Legacy was kept to a minimum, in an effort to preserve its status as a research vessel. Four light turbolaser batteries and twelve medium turbolaser batteries provided the primary defenses.
After Arkoh Adasca captured the Camper and made a trip to Omonoth, the Arkanian Legacy was badly damaged by the exogorths that were located near the planet. The ship was left adrift when the forces of the Galactic Republic arrived, and it was unknown how many of its total population were able to survive.

Arkanian Microtechnologies
This Arkanian corporation was ostensibly a manufacturer of medical supplies and technologies, but specialized in the advanced development of genetic engineering. Like the Arkanians who founded it, Arkanian Microtechnologies was highly fearful of outsiders, and much of its security system centered on the prohibition - or elimination - of non-Arkanians. This made entering the premises nearly impossible for off-worlders, unless they were provided with specialized security badges. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Arkanian Microtechnologies struggled to produce a cheaper clone trooper for the Army of the Republic. Their plan did not involve cloning in its standard form, but a new form of development which remained a corporate secret for many years.
Emperor Palpatine took advantage of the new technologies developed at Arkanian Micro, which utilized rapid cloning techniques to create new specimens much faster than those used by the Kaminoans. Palpatine created Force-sensitive clones from the genetic material of Sa Cuis, in an effort to produce a small army of Dark Jedi. This new technology could produce a useful clone in just over a year. However, in the wake of the Clone Wars, all cloning-related activities were forced to a halt by galactic decree, and Arkanian Micro was forced to outwardly suspend all cloning operations. However, at a secret facility located beneath the polar ice cap on Vohai, Arkanian Micro continued research into cloning. Progress was slow at best, since there were no experts to recruit from the general galactic population. Thus, about ten years after the end of the Yuuzhan Vong conflict, the corporation broke with tradition and took on the Kaminoan defector, Taun We.

Arkanian Offshoot
This was the term used by the Arkanian people to describe those individuals who were genetically altered to work as miners, several generations before the onset of the Great Sith War. Most Arkanian Offshoots were recognizable by their ice-blue eyes and their skin, which was much whiter than that of baseline Arkanian stock. The average Offshoot was bred to have more dextrous hands and better eyesight, which allowed them to locate and extract the gemstones that were found in Arkania's crust. However, Offshoots were known to be less hardy than the baseline Arkanian stock, and they lacked resistance to disease and illness.
The original Arkanian Offshoots were bred to work in the gemstone mines that dotted the landscape of Arkania. When the mines ran dry, the baseline Arkanian population - which referred to themselves as the Purebloods - had no further use for the Offshoots. They were abandoned to several small settlements that were located beyond the borders of Arkania's cities, and left to eke out whatever existence they could make for themselves. Over time, the term "Offshoot" came to have a derogatory meaning, as the Arkanian Purebloods wanted nothing to do with their genetic brethren.
The Camper, otherwise known as Gorman Vandrayk, discovered that Adascorp had been secretly spreading diseases among the Offshoot population, in order to limit their numbers and slowly eliminate them.
(KOR5, KOR6)
Arkanian Pureblood
This was the term used by baseline Arkanians to describe themselves. The term stemmed from the original creation of the Arkanian Offshoots, who were bred to work in gem mines. When the mines ran dry, the Purebloods abandoned the Offshoots to remote settlements, not wanting to mingle with their genetic cousins.
(KOR5)
Arkanian Renegades
This group of power-hungry scientists were known for their ability to cyborg virtually any living creature. They used their talents to create an invincible cyborg army, and tried to unseat the Arkanian Dominion some fifty years before the Battle of Yavin, in an event which came to be known as the Arkanian Revolution. The coup failed, but the cyborging technology of the Renegades was adopted by the natives of Arkania.
(EGD, NEGC)
Arkanian Revolution
Occurring some fifty years before the Battle of Yavin, the Arkanian Revolution was a coup attempt launched by the Arkanian Renegades. They hoped to use a cyborg army to bring down the Arkanian Dominion, which had used genetics to create and alter many alien races during their reign, but the coup ultimately failed when the Dominion called for the help of the Jedi Order. However, the benefits of cyborg technology were brought to light, and eventually adopted by the Dominion. One of the survivors of the Arkanian Revolution was the bounty hunter, Gorm the Dissolver. Many historians would later point to the Arkanian Revolution as one of the first of the small-scale skirmishes that ultimately led to the downfall of the Old Republic.

Arkanoid
This was the name of the modified Zeta-class shuttle that was owned by P'laang Ri, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. The original front-mounted laser cannons were replaced with double laser cannons, and the Arkanoid was also armed with a pair of blaster cannons and a retractable double blaster cannon mounted at the rear of the craft. This weapons array helped to cover all sides of the ship, giving the crew added protection from pirates and Imperial vessels. Ri loaned the shuttle to Han Solo and Avik Lore, when the two men dropped the Millennium Falcon off for repairs, before setting out on a mission to capture an Imperial cargo in the Zoma System.

This Velabri Lancer served the Alliance under the command of Airen Cracken. He was chosen to assist Cryle Cavv in extricating Rivoche Tarkin from Imperial control shortly before the Battle of Hoth. Arkell chafed at the assignment, believing Cavv to be nothing more than a thief. Arkell was the son of Quillin Durand, who was rescued from Imperial attack by Airen Cracken. Durand swore a Velabri Bloodvow to repay Cracken's bravery, but died soon after the rescue. Arkell took up the mantle of fulfilling the Bloodvow, and served the Alliance with Cracken.

Arkhee, Esm
This nervous Twi'lek male seemed to suffered from a rare muscular disorder that caused his lekku to twitch uncontrollably. In the Lekku sign language, it appeared that Esm Arkhee continually repeated the word "go" over and over again. A branch manager for Interplanetary Acquisitions, Esm Arkhee was actually under the influence of a kind of spell, focused on him through the Force by his boss, Pal-Nada. Pal-Nada discovered that Esm Arkhee's weak mind made him the perfect stooge, and used him to set up events which ultimately led to the theft of a starship. Esm Arkhee's muscle twitch was a subconscious response to the Force control used by Pal-Nada. Esm Arkhee worked in The Blinders district of Sahl-Evin, and was known to enjoy gladiator-style fighting, frequenting those establishments that staged fights of all kinds.

A native of the planet Faro, this man was one of the many corrections officers who served under Captain Jareth Sartoris aboard the prson barge Purge, about a year before the Battle of Yavin. Armitage, who was an accomplished airpaint artist who was distinguished by his well-coifed hair, was a recent addition to the ship's crew, and took constant ribbing from his new squadmates. He found a niche among his peers with his paintings, creating various images of scantily-clad females. When the Purge experienced problems with its thrusters and was stranded in the Unknown Regions, ICO Armitage, along with Vesek and Austin, were assigned to a task force led by Sartoris to investigate the presence of an abandoned Star Destroyer in their vicinity. The hope was that drive components from the larger ship could be salvaged to help repair the Purge. Upon returning to the Purge, Armitage was among the many crew members who suddenly became ill with a strange infection that seemed to have been encountered aboard the Star Destroyer. Armitage suffered greatly, and was one of the first crew members to die from the contagion.

Armored Vrblther
This was one of the few subspecies of vrblthers which remained native to the planet Varl. This species evolved a thick, armored skin over the generations, as a result of remaining on the planet's surface and eking out an existence in the radiation-blasted ecosystem. These hunch-backed bipeds were essentially reptilian in nature, resembling the base-stock vrblthers which were transported to Nar Shaddaa and Nal Hutta. However, the claws of the armored vrblther were extremely sharp, and their tails were studded with sharp spikes. One unusual aspect of this creature was the fact that the armored scales we thick enough that radioactive materials sometimes became lodged in between them, making them mobile sources of radiation. Armored vrblthers survived by attacking and eating anything in their paths, although they usually fed on the Nikto and Twi'lek nomads which lived on Varl's surface.

Army of Light
This was the name used by the ancient Jedi Knights to describe the combined war force was was formed to combat the growing power of the Brotherhood of Darkness, during the final stages of the New Sith War. Formed under the auspices of the Jedi Order and placed under the command of Lord Hoth, the Army of Light's primary goal was to prevent the Sith from taking control of the galaxy. The Brotherhood had slowly gained control of large portions of the galaxy, because the military forces of the Old Republic were too weak to stand against the Brotherhood's maniacal charges. The Jedi Knights agreed to join the fight against Lord Kaan and the Brotherhood of Darkness.
There were three known units of the Army of Light, and their combined strength was far larger than that of the Sith army. However, under Hoth's direction, the Army of Light started out the fighting by initiating small hit-and-run battles against the Sith. This tactic served as bait in a larger plot to embolden Lord Kaan and give him reason to amass his forces in an all-out attack on the Jedi Knights. Lord Hoth chose Ruusan as his final battleground, where the Army of Light participated in no less than seven distinct conflicts during the Battle of Ruusan. In the final battle, the Sith unleashed a thought bomb, which obliterated every member of the Army of Light on the planet's surface. Only those Jedi stationed in orbit around Ruusan survived. The detonation also eliminated the Brotherhood of the Sith, leaving only Darth Bane behind.
In the wake of the New Sith Wars, Supreme Chancellor Tarsus Valorum proposed the Ruusanb Reformations, and argued that the Army of Light should be disbanded altogether, since its formation had been prompted by the existence of the Brotherhood of Darkness. Many Jedi, including Lord Valenthyne Farfalla, argued against this proposal, until they saw that Valorum was trying to ensure that there was peace in the galaxy for all to enjoy. The Jedi realized that they had spent so many years at war, that they had forgotten that they were supposed to be the guardians of peace and justice, rather than a military force. With the passing of the Ruusan Reformations, the Army of Light was eliminated, and the Jedi Order was placed under the jurisdiction of the Judicial Department of the Galactic Senate.

Borborygmus Gog had planned to develop an army of biological constructs that were quick to generate, were immune to the Force, and could obtain sustenance from their victims. All earlier steps in the project were geared toward the creation of the army, including the experiments performed on the woman known as Niobi and the devastation that ocurred on Kiva. Gog had implanted into the brain of each construct an explosive device, which could be detonated if the army ran amok.

This thin, mousy Imperial officer was a driven perfectionist who had hoped to set an Imperial record for the most successful apprehensions of suspected customs violators. His other goal was to set the record for most successful prosecutions against those customs violators. An extraordinary individual in his own eyes, Arnae's perfectionist attitude got him thrown out of the Imperial Navy when he uncovered some infractions on the part of his superiors. Rather than bring the matter to further attention, his commanding officer had him removed to the Sector Interdiction office on Travnin.

This man, who appeared to be a native of Coruscant, was a member of the New Republic's Wraith Squadron. He served as the team's biological expert, and was one of the few beings with extensive experience in the Yuuzhan Vong physiology. Arnjak's knowledge and skills were the reasons he was chosen as one of the Wraiths chosen to accompany Luke Skywalker on a mission to infiltrate Coruscant, after the Yuuzhan Vong captured the planet. Arnjak had managed to develop his own ooglith masquers, designed to resemble Yuuzhan Vong warriors when worn by New Republic agents. When the mission was completed, it was Arnjak who chose remain behind on Coruscant, which had been terraformed into a simulacrum of the long-long Yuuzhan Vong homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar. He let loose a number of fungus droids that allowed him to gather information from across the planet, and made regular reports back to the Republic's commanders. It was Arnjak's report on the return of the Prophet, Yu'shaa, that prompted Kenth Hamner and the few remaining Jedi Knights to launch another mission to Coruscant, this time to talk to the Prophet about what happened on Zonama Sekot. Unknown to even his commanders, Arnjak had also managed to make contact with the Shamed Ones who flocked to the words of the prophet Yu'shaa, and had altered them to the possibility that the Galactic Alliance might try to retake Coruscant. When the attempt actually occurred, and Judder Page led an infiltration team to Coruscant's remade surface, Arnjak and his rebels were able to seek them out and provide assistance.

Arqu'uthun, Hurnoj
This Arkanian military expert held the rank of Captain in the armed forces that protected the planet Thule, during the final decades of the Old Republic. He seemed to have the ability to withstand the continual onslaught of Dark Side energy, and remained the least tainted of Thule's military officers. He wondered if this clouded his judgement, however, because he regularly questioned his superiors' choices of non-military targets to attack. He was steadfastly loyal, though, and strove to minimize civilian losses whenever possible.

Arr, Kodo
This middle-aged man proclaimed himself to be the best smuggler in the galaxy, when he arrived on the floating city of Tolea Biqua during the height of the Clone Wars. Distinguished by his close-cropped, white hair and his boisterous personality, Kodo Arr claimed to have survived the rigors of learning the smuggling trade on Nar Shaddaa, which gave him the right to assume the title of best smuggler in the galaxy. He made a number of moonside runs in a heavily-modified T-16 skyhopper, andonce tried to drag a crate filled with goods through the lower levels of the moon's skyscrapers. The heavy crate began to tear the skyhopper's rearend off, so he tried to slow down, forgetting that the crate's inertia would not be stopped by the T-16's brakes. He improvised a makeshift deflector shield using old droideka parts he found in his hold, and barely got their shield generators running when the crate hit the skyhopper. Not many beings believed this story, but Kodo Arr never stopped telling it.

Arranda, Tash
An orphan from the planet Alderaan, Tash and her younger brother Zak traveled the galaxy with their strange uncle Hoole after their parents, Kalf and Milessa, were killed when the Empire destroyed their homeworld. The children had been away on a field trip when the destruction occurred. The three were wanted by the Empire for a number of supposed crimes. Tash was thirteen at the time she began to notice a sensitivity to the Force. She was taken in by the B'omarr monk Grimpen, who drew her into his plans by making her believe she was one of the most enlightened beings of her generation. However, she was simply drawn into an elaborate scheme in which Jabba the Hutt had been using B'omarr techniques to transfer the brains of the galaxy's worst criminals into other bodies. Tash ended up with the brain of Karkas after the original host escaped, and promptly killed Commander Fuzzel. Hoole managed to get her brain back into her own body after stopping Grimpen and returning several ancient scrolls to the B'omarr monks. She later used a red-gemstone necklace - give to her by her mother - as a way to concentrate on the Force.

Arranda, Zak
This orphan, once a native of the planet Alderaan, traveled the galaxy with his sister, Tash, and their uncle, Hoole. Hoole took care of the children after their parents, Kalf and Milessa, were killed when the first Death Star destroyed Alderaan. The children had been away on a field trip when the destruction occurred. The three were wanted by the Empire for a number of supposed crimes. Zak was a little over a year younger than Tash, and while he had some affinity for the Force, Zak was extremely adept with technology. He could return most computers and systems to working order, given the right parts and some time. Zak was declared clinically dead when they stopped on the planet Necropolis to purchase a new starship. After befriending Kairn, Zak was drawn into Doctor Evazan's plans to create armies of reanimated zombies. He injected Zak with the diluted juice of cryptberries, then injected him with reanimation serum. Zak was then buried, and Evazan hoped that the boneworms would soon begin burrowing into his body to locate bone marrow. It was Zak who discovered that the B'omarr monk Grimpen was working with Jabba the Hutt to transfer criminal brains into new bodies, and rescued his sister from a similar fate while in the crimelord's palace on Tatooine.

Arrant, Jurnel
This man, a native of the planet Corellia, was the chief executive officer of the Lommite Limited mining corporation during the era leading up to the Battle of Naboo. A handsome man of middle age, Arrant was frustrated by Lommite Limited's inability to counteract the industrial sabotage of his biggest rival, InterGalactic Ores, against the operations on Dorvalla. He ordered his chief officer, Patch Bruit, to hire independent mercenaries to cause problems for InterGalactic. Unfortunately for Arrant, the feud between the two corporations was manipulated by Darth Sidious in such a way that Lommite Limited and InterGalactic Ores destroyed themselves, leaving the lommite mines open to the Trade Federation. Arrant believed that Hath Monchar was responsible for the death and destruction which swept both Lommite Limited and InterGalactic Ores, until he was shown evidence of outside tampering. In the end, he was forced to merge with InterGalactic Ores and turn over control of Dorvalla to the Trade Federation. Note that the Ultimate Alien Anthology indicates that Jurnel Arrant was a Neimoidian.

Arrgrar
Native to the planet Cularin, this vine seemingly grew overnight out of dead or decaying plant material. The spores of the arrgrar were carried in the digestive system of a species of rat, and then deposited beneath the compost.

This Kurtzen was a worker at the Bakuran Senate Complex during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He was also a good friend of the Ryn informant, Goure, and provided a wealth of information about the tunnels and chambers beneath the complex. Arrizza had no political affiliations, so he cared little for either the Bakuran government, the Freedom movement, or the New Republic. Thus, when Goure asked for his help in locating Jaina Solo, Arrizza agreed to help Goure and Tahiri Veila infiltrate the Complex. Later, Arrizza used his strange connection to the life-energy of the Force to help Tahiri learn to live in peace with the Riina Kwaad personality that had been implanted in her mind by Mezhan Kwaad.

Arrogantus, Serji-X
A native of Caprioril, this swoop racer challenged Ignar Ominaz in many races and championships, during the last years of the Old Republic. He had been given the nickname of "The Arrogant One" because of his disregard for the rules and hazards of swoop racing. Arrogantus considered Ominaz to be a plodding sort of racer with little hope of actually remaining champion. However, after Arrogantus himself was defeated several times by Hodrix, he found himself without a manager or a sponsor. He raced one last time, but his desparate attempt to win the race led to a nasty crash. Arrogantus suffered severe trauma to the head, and was forced to abandon his racing career. Years later, Arrogantus became the gang leader of the hill-dwelling Cloud Riders, and was overtaking the planet Aduba-3 when Han Solo and Chewbacca were stranded there. He was eventually overthrow by Solo, Jaxxon, and their band of adventurers, when Merri's grandfather called forth the Behemoth from the crust of the planet. Rather than surrender, Serji-X flew his skyspeeder directly at the grandfather. The Behemoth, in an effort to kill Serji-X, crushed both men under its huge, clawed foot. Note that this character was also referred to as Sergi-X.

Arrow-23
One of Aratech's landspeeders, the Arrow-23 was designed for use by adventurers and guides who needed to get into the wilderness. It was protected by military-grade armor and blast-resistant windows. Despite these measures, the 8.1-meter-long Arrow-23 was surprisingly comfortable, and was one of the fastest civilian speeders on the market during the height of the New Order. The Arrow-23 was also easily customized, with a wide range of options for communications, comfrot, and weapons. The Alliance modified these craft extensively, adding a laser cannon and a concussion grenade launcher to move up to 5 troopers into a hot battle zone.
(RASB, AEG)
Arrow-23 Extended
This large groundspeeder was basically a version of the Aratech Arrow-23 speeder that was modified for use as a cargo transport. Developed during the final decades of the Old Republic, the Arrow-23 Extended had the rear half of the passenger compartment replaced with a flatbed cargo area. A meter-tall railing surrounded the flatbed, allowing for the securing of cargo or the safety of passengers. In this configuration, the Arrow-23 Extended could accommodate up to seven passengers or 800 kilograms of cargo.

(JQ3)
Art of the Small
This technique of utilizing the power of the Force was discovered and refined by the Fosh Jedi Knight, Vergere, during her five decades of imprisonment with the Yuuzhan Vong. Vergere's personal study and introspection transcended the traditional definitions of a light side and a dark side to the Force. Instead, she found a wild form of the Force and a more controlled form. This definition, which simply stated the the Force exists and can be controlled, led her to the discovery of the Art of the Small. Using this technique, Vergere could make herself "small", in such a way that she was barely recognizable within the Force. This allowed her to fool her Yuuzhan Vong captors into believing that she was not, in fact, a Jedi Knight. It also allowed her to manipulate individual molecules within her body to affect tiny chemical changes. Thus, Vergere could alter her own tears to become healing fluids or poisons.

Artom, Reidi
This explorer was generally considered the first being to map the Cularin System, although her discovery came many centuries after the New Sith Wars. A near-human whose species lived for hundreds of years, Reidi left her homeworld and stowed aboard a starship. When the ship was attacked and the pilot killed, Reidi took command of the craft and repair it. She assumed ownership of the craft, renaming it the Trailblazer, and set out on her own to make a living as an explorer. No less than six star systems were discovered during her career, and many were named with variations on her own name. Many of these systems were later renamed to conform to the galactic standard established by the Old Republic.
During a routine mission, she was pulled out of hyperspace by the proximity of the comet cloud which surrounded the Cularin System, some 200 years before the Battle of Naboo. She named the planets and the system after herself, until a search revealed that an older name had been logged. She accepted this fact, and returned to Cularin to settle the planet with the help of the Tarasin. After establishing the cities of Gadren and Hedrett, she left Cularin and headed into the Unknown Regions, and was never seen again.
Just before the onset of the Clone Wars, a collection of documents written by Artom were discovered by a group of explorers, who were assisted by the Tarasin of the Vriisan irstat who had served as their caretaker for more than two centuries. Among the documents was Artom's "manifesto for expansion," in which she implored future readers to seek out a way to live in harmony with new races and new worlds, rather than simply stripping them of resources and abandoning them.

Artom Station
Named for the legendary Reidi Artom, this monitoring and manufacturing facility was established in orbit around the planet Almas, during the final decades of the Old Republic. The space station was built in a joint effort by the Cularins and the Thaereians, although funding later came from several Cularin System corporations after the Thaereians were ousted from the system. The station served as the headquarters of the Comet Broom Service, which worked with Cularin SpaceNav Control to ensure safe travel through the Cularin System's comet cloud. By the time of the Clone Wars, Artom Station was little more than a skeletal framework of tubes and struts that connected modules of various shapes and sizes, depending on their function. A few spartan residential and entertainment facilities were maintained aboard the station, but were kept to a minimum by allowing workers to return to their planetside homes when they were not on active duty. However, the station supported a small community of regulars who kept things operating smoothly and helped the on-shift workers pass their time.

This temporate world was located along the outer edge of the galaxy. Deep-space explorers Sarkkin and Panha discovered that an early Yuuzhan Vong invasion fleet would attack Artorias, and rushed to warn the planet's inhabitants of the impending invastion. The Artorians had no standing defense force, since the planet's remote location and peaceful history kept them out of most galactic conflicts. Unfortunately, this meant that the Yuuzhan Vong met with almost no resistance when they attacked the planet. Advance Yuuzhan Vong scouts, disguised as Artorians, sabotaged every spaceworthy vessel on the planet, ensuring that no one was able to escape and warn the neighboring planets.

Arturo
This elderly man was the ruler of the planet Orocco, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. King Arturo's daughter, Mi, was kidnapped by Grintlok and his group of thugs, and held for ransom. Unfortunately for Artuso, the reansom demand came just days after the Empire subjugated Orocco and froze every financial asset on the planet, leaving him with nothing. In an attempt to circumvent the kidnappers, King Arturo called in a favor from an old acquaintence, the noted crime lord Raze. Both Arturo and Raze were unaware that the kidnappers, led by Grintlok, were actually employees of Raze who were trying to do some freelance work and earn a few extra credits. However, Arturo had been prepared for the possibility that someone might try to use his daughter to get at his wealth, and he had placed a homing beacon inside Princess Mi's shoes. This allowed the beings who answered Raze's call to action to track Princess Mi to the planet Cataalda. It also allowed Raze and King Arturo to locate the planet, and they set off to ensure that the Princess was safe. When they arrived on Cataalda, they found Grintlok and his thugs in a standoff against Han Solo and Leia Organa, who seemed to have Princess Mi in their possession. However, Princess Leia returned Mi to her father, and Mi explained how it had been Grintlok who originally kidnapped her. To show his gratitude, King Arturo offered Mi's hand in marriage to Han Solo, prompting the smuggler to make a hasty retreat.

Artus Prime
This planet was mined by several operations for a variety of ores and minerals, such as artusian crystals, until Imperial forces took control of the planet. The Imperial forces garrisoned the planet and took control of the mines in an effort to supply raw materials for the work of Admiral Galak Fyyar and the Dark Jedi, Desann. Kyle Katarn managed to infiltrate the operation shortly after the Battle of Endor, rendering the mines inoperable and temporarily halting Fyyar's work. Kyle also freed the prisoners who were being forced to work in the mines.

Based on the planet Roonadan, the company went public about nine years after the end of the conflict with the alien invaders, specializing in genetically tailored pharmaceutical products. Their products were not considered revolutionary, so its sudden jump in the company's tock value attracted the attention of Boba Fett. The bounty hunter had been hired to locate Taun We, and he correctly guessed that the Kaminoan had fled her homeworld in an effort to sell her knowledge of cloning to rival corporations. However, upon landing on Roonadan, Fett realized that AruMed had been luring employees away from SanTech with lucrative bonuses, if they defected from their original employers and brought their knowledge with them.

Asani, Wil
This man, a native of the planet Bellassa, was one of the original members of the Eleven, the underground resistance group that tried to stand up to the tyranny of Inquisitor Malorum and the Empire during the early months of the New Order. After Roan Lands was arrested and Ferus Olin was forced to flee Bellassa, Wil and the other members of The Eleven chose to disband and spread themselves throughout the city of Ussa, in an effort to prevent their capture by Imperial forces. Wil remained loyal to the cause of the Eleven, and became the group's unofficial coordinator.
However, when the Empire decided to crack down on rebellious activity, Wil took a blaster bolt in the leg, and was forced out of duty as a soldier. Doctor Amie Antin was able to repair the damage, but Wil was forced to accept an administrative role within the Eleven. Wil later agreed to work on Ferus's hidden asteroid base, but was unprepared for the treachery of Toma. Toma worked with Eve Yarrow to discover the activities of Ferus and the Moonstrike resistance leaders, and Darth Vader himself planted an explosive aboard Yarrow's ship. The explosive device detonated inside one of the asteroid's hangars, and Will was killed in the resulting explosion.

One of the main worlds of the Gree Enclave, Asation was home to the crafters of the Gree race. It was also the gateway for visitors to the Enclave, as any being wishing to travel to one of the other Gree worlds must board the Rokak'k Baran there. It was a wet, high-pressure world covered with slimy wetlands and primitive jungles. It was believed that the Gree terraformed the world many millennia ago, using genetically-altered lifeforms to populate it. The Gree who were born to this world were much shorter than those Gree born on the homeworld of Gree. The average day on Asation lasted 18 standard hours, and its year encompasses 380 local days.

Ascender
This was the outdated, Adumari form of a turbolift.
(SOA)
Ascension Cable
These heavy-duty cables were used to scale sheer mountains, cliff faces, and buildings. Originally developed for the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, the cable itself was dispensed from an ascension rifle in liquid form. The cable hardened when it was exposed to air, creating a solid but flexible line with a spiked end that lodged itself into the material of a wall or ledge. The clone trooper could then "climb" the mountain while holding their weapon in the firing position. This allowed the cable to be drawn back onto a motorized spool, as well as allowing the clone trooper to fire on an enemy who was located above them.
(CWVG, CWTV16)
Ascension Gun
This specialized version of the S-5 security blaster was often used by adventurers and scouts, although it had many other practical uses. Primarily developed by Captain Panaka, the ascension gun used a cylinder of compressed gas to project a heavy missile at a target. The missile could be tipped with a number of barbed points or attached to a grappling hook, depending on the method of ascension desired. Attached to the missile was a length of syntherope or other strong wire. The syntherope was then attached to a small but powerful winch located on the ascension gun's barrel. Once the missile was securely in position, the gun's user could activate the winch and be pulled upward to the missile.
(E1, IG1, NEGC)
Ascension Rifle
Originally developed for the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, these weapons were essentially larger and more durable versions of an ascension gun. The weapon fired an ascension cable from a launcher that was slung beneath the rifle's main barrel, which allowed a clone trooper to ascend a steep incline while keeping the barrel of the rifle pointed upward at an enemy's position.

A-series Assassin Droid
This was the designation of the assassin droids that were designed and produced by Pollux Poi, some 4,000 years before the onset of the Clone Wars, after the Anx was hired by the Shell Hutts to create them. Standing 2.4 meters tall, the A-series assassin droid bore a strong resemblance to the Anx physiology, including a cranium that arced backward like the skull of an Anx. Poi produced the A-series to eliminate the leaders of the Gejalli clan of Hutts, and was forced to use a good number of them to protect his hiding place on Kashyyyk when the Gejalli put out a contract on his life. These A-series protectors became the only family Poi knew, and survived his death for many years before encountering the Builder Forge. Their relationship with the Builder Forge resulted in several renovations to the basic A-series construction, including the addition of four photoreceptors and enhanced programming. Over the centuries, the new A-series was replicated, and a small "colony" of them evolved in the underlevels of Kashyyyk. A group of several hundred eventually set off to locate the Gree race, who employed them as assassins for many centuries. These droids were armed with blaster cannons, and the "fingers" on their hands were little more than retractable knife blades. Several millennia later, Count Dooku purchased the remaining A-series units from the Gree, and added them to the droid armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. These droids saw combat during the Battle of Jabiim and on Phindar, but many were destroyed in the fighting. Those few A-series droids that survived the Clone Wars returned to their "homeworld" of Kashyyyk.

Ash Angel
This large, avian creature was one of the few living things that survived on the surface of the planet Sullust. With a wingspan of nearly three meters, ash angels were formidable creatures to encounter. In order to survive in Sullust's harsh environment, ash angels evolved to consume the ash and soot that was belched out by the many volcanoes that dotted the landscape. Specialized feathers, formed from thin flaps of skin, covered their bodies and absorbed the ash into the cells. Once the cells extracted the minerals and nutrients from the ash, they exuded a powder-like residue that contained the non-nutritional content of the ash. This gave the ash angel a strange appearance, as its "feathers" fluttered in the breeze and shed white, powdery dust. This also allowed the ash angel to blend into the volcanic surroundings in which it lived, providing a form of camouflage. The beak of an ash angel was filled with sharp teeth, each of which expressed a powerful poison when the creature bit down. This use of poison was considered to be more of a defense mechanism than a way to capture prey, since the ash angel obtained most of its sustenance from the ash, and these creatures were not known to be predatory.

Like all Mon Cal designs, the Ashanda Ray had an organic look to it, resembling an ocean-dwelling creature more than a starship. It was armed with a heavy triple-laser cannon, three proton torpedo launchers, and an ion cannon.

On Seregar, Ashandrik befriended the Marauders swoop gang, using them to deflect minimal interference from bounty hunters. He employed the Twi'leki huntress Lliandri to lure more stubborn hunters to the Trigdale refinery in the jungles near Storrd Township, where he had holed up. His knowledge of the refinery helped him outwit other hunters, whom he eliminated at his leisure. Ashandrik managed to evade capture for a long time.

Ashar, Riggs
This hulking, dark-skinned man grew up as the biggest and strongest boy in his school. His size and strength were matched - and, some said, exceeded by - his toughness, and very few individuals who confronted him were able to take him down in a fair fight. Thus, when he enlisted in the local militia, many of his old "acquaintences" were more than happy to see him leaving. As excited as Riggs was to enter the militia, the harder it was for him to admit that he had made a mistake. Despite his prowess, Riggs was not very smart, and he was unable to handle the mental tests that were assigned to him by his training officers. He washed out of basic training, and took work as a guard at a local spaceport. He spent his off-hours building a network of enforcers and antennae-breakers, "policing" the local bars and shaking down any being who appeared to be causing trouble.

Freedon Nadd fled to this planet, about 400 years before the Great Sith War, after killing Matta Tremayne and succumbing to the Dark Side of the Force.

Ashern
This Vratix political party complemented the Zaltin and Xucphra factions of humans on Thyferra during the New Order. The Ashern were considered a terrorist group by the human factions, and was supposedly responsible for introducing contamination into a Xucphra bacta lot, at the direction of the Zaltin corporation. The origins of the Ashern could be traced back to the last decades of the Old Republic, during the early years of Alazhiaxazha, or the Thriving Season. Then known as the Razorclaws, these militant Vratix realized that their people would only be able to retain some measure of control over bacta production if they were able to understand and control the production of alazhi. To this end, the Ashern tried to develop a new strain of alazhi that would increase the effectiveness of bacta. This new strain of alazhi was destroyed about a year after it development, cementing the Ashern's role as terrorists rather than drivers of social change. Years later, Erisi Dlarit's uncle discovered a contaminate in lot ZX1449F, which was eventually traced back to the Ashern. The group was also known as Black Claw, in reference to the way in which they sharpened their foreclaws and painted themselves black to hide in the shadows. The Vratix became concerned about their human counterparts during the outbreak of the Krytos virus on Coruscant, seeing that the Imperial ties to the bacta cartels were becoming stronger. It was at this time that the Zaltin faction began supplying the Ashern with weapons and credits to maintain their attacks on Xucphra-aligned facilities. When they needed addiitonal help in planning their overthrow of Xucphra, they recalled Bror Jace from Rogue Squadron by falsely claiming his father was ill. They then arranged for Jace to "die" in an accident, making it possible for him to assist them without ties to any political body. They sent Qlaern Hirf to petition Wedge Antilles to champion the acceptance of the Vratix in the New Republic, in return for help in creating their own supply of bacta. Wedge agreed, but was unable to make a move when Ysanne Isard took control of Thyferra.

Ashgad, Seti
This political contemporary of Senator Palpatine was one of the future Emperor's main opponents. In political circles, he was known as the Golden Tempter, a tribute to his persuasive voice and charismatic speeches. He came from the hyperdrive design division of Incom Industries, where his major contribution was the design of the Z-95. During the height of the Clone Wars, Ashgad was a Senator himself, and suddenly disappeared after he argued against a measure to install surveillance cameras in the Senate buildings. Ashgad was sentenced to a prison term on the world of Nam Chorios, where he came to power by filling in the void left when the Hutt Beldorian failed to maintain his hold on the populace. As Ashgad rose to power, he was subverted by the droch Dzym, who used Ashgad as his figurehead. Dzym kept Ashgad alive for many years beyond his natural lifespan by continually "recharging" his life energy, and a story was developed that Ashgad had a son. Then, still lively and youthful, Ashgad appeared as his own son and took control of the Rationalist Party on Nam Chorios. He arranged a meeting with Leia Organa-Solo, at the behest of Dzym, in order for the droch to launch his own assault on the galaxy. Organa-Solo was captured, and specially-created holo-vids dispatched to indicate she left Ashgad in good hands. Ashgad held her in his own complex on Nam Chorios until she escaped. Dzym took Ashgad and tried to flee the planet after the natives rose up in revolt, but their ship was destroyed before they made it out of the system.

This was the name used to describe the creative aspect of the Force by the natives of the planet Tython, during the early years of the Old Republic. The Ashla was considered to be a positive energy field that represented the compassion and mercy in the universe, and stood in oppostion to the Bogan. Many Jedi scholars believed that the Ashla was actually a manifestation of the Light Side of the Force. Legends held that the followers of the Ashla became involved in a great war with those beings who followed the Bogan, and that the victorious worhshippers of Ashla used the first lightsabers during their subsequent initiation ceremonies. The stories claimed that these early worshippers became the first Jedi Knights, many of whom later left Tython to find other worlds where they could spread their knowledge. Many historians also believed that, although the followers of Ashla claimed victory, the minions of the Bogan were not truly defeated. Many scholars pointed to the fact the Belia Darzu eventually rose to power on Tython, drawing on the power of the Dark Side of the Force that permeated the planet.

Askaj
This boiling-hot desert planet was the homeworld of the Askajian race. It was located in the Outer Rim, about a day's travel off the Rimma Trade Route. Note that the Star Wars Customizable Card Game claims the name of this planet was Askajia.
(TJP, CCG7)
Askajian
A humanoid race with deep familial traditions, the Askajians lived on the desert world of Askaj. As an evolutionary precaution against dehydration, the Asjakian body became extremely efficient at absorbing and storing water. Thus, a fully hydrated individual gave the appearance of being obese, but their body was filled with water instead of fatty cells. When full hydrated, an Askajian could survive for long periods in the open desert, returning in a thinned state after using up their stored supply of water. Upon consuming water once again, their bodies seem to inflate, hoarding the water for later use.
The females of the species each had six breasts, which were used to feed their offspring following the delivery of a litter of cubs. The cubs were not named until after their first birthday.
Many Askajians raised tomuons for their milk, meat, and wool. The Askajians were known for their luxurious fabric, woven from tomuon wool. Weavers and dancers were revered in Askajian society. Weavers bring income to the Askajian people, as tomuon fabrics fetch a high price throughout the galaxy. Dancers were important to the religious and historical aspects of their society, maintaining the tribal histories and legends.

AS-M12
This spherical, general-purpose message droid was produced by Arakyd Industries during the New Order. It was known by the brand name of Seeker, and was designed to provide its owner with a safe, effective way to communicate across the galaxy without having HoloNet access. Designed around the basic Viper probe droid design, the AS-M12 droid traveled across the galaxy in a specially-designed, civilian version of he Viper's hyperspace pod. The droid was equipped with a variety of recording and playback devices, and had several methods of identification which it could use to verify the recipient's identity.

ASN Assassin Droid
This was the common term used to describe any ASN-series courier droid that was specially modified to act as a mechanical assassin. The Malkite Poisoners were among the most prolific users of ASN assassin droids, equipping them with syringes and other delivery systems to eliminate a target without getting physically engaged.
(SWMW)
ASN-121
This ASN-series droid was owned by Zam Wesell during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. ASN-121 was originally designed as a courier, but was specially modified by the Malkite Poisoners to perform the duties of an assassin. It was equipped with an electrical field generator to protect it from being grasped or caught. A communications cylinder slot was modified by Zam, with the cylinder itself carrying kouhons or other deadly creatures which could not be traced to any individual. The chuck which held the cylinder was capable of holding a harpoon launcher or sniper blaster. Glass cutters allowed ASN-121 to quietly enter a building, and tiny repulsorlift engines allowed the droid to have incredible maneuverability. Zam Wesell used the droid to deliver a pair of kouhons to the apartment of Padme' Amidala, after the bounty hunter's attempt to execute the Senator when she landed on Coruscant failed. ASN-121 was caught by Obi-Wan Kenobi, but the droid managed to drag the Jedi Master on a thrilling ride through the aerial streets of Coruscant. In order to try and avoid capture, Zam Wesell was forced to shoot the droid out of the sky.

ASN-series Courier Droid
Developed by Arakyd Industries during the final decades of the Old Republic, the ASN-series courier droid was designed to carry messages to and from locations in large cities or on metropolitan worlds such as Coruscant. Each of these droids resembled a floating sphere, with two large wings at either side for stability and maneuvering. The power cells on the ASN-series droid allowed it to travel up to 1,000 kilometers before requiring a recharge, giving the droid an exception delivery range. Arakyd, sensing that the ASN-series was becoming popular, outfitted the droid with a variety of sockets and and implement mounting points, allowing the basic droid to be reused for a wide variety of purposes. With simple changes in equipment and programming, the ASN-series could be used to extinguish fires, record events with sound and holographic video, patrol a building or fence, and even perform minor repairs. This ubiquitous nature also earned the ASN-series a niche with assassins, who outfitted the droid with weapons and surveillance systems. Because they were seen doing all sorts of jobs, no being thought to intercept such a modified ASN-series droid until it was too late.

Asonel Caves
This massive web of underground caverns and tunnels was located on the planet Prakith. The caves ran through the mountains just outside of Prak City, and were believed to have been created by ancient lava flows. The original settlers who came to Prakith discovered all manner of gemstones hidden in the caves, and outside mining interests eventually moved in and stripped the caves of their gems. Over time, the artificial tunnels created during the mining process left the caves unstable, and many cave-ins claimed the lives of miners. After the gemstones ran out and the mines were abandoned, the Asonel Caves becae a haven for criminals and rebels.

ASP-1
This was the simplest, most bare-bones version of the Industrial Automaton ASP-series droid. Like other ASP-series droids, the ASP-1 was easily customized by its owner. These droids were available with a simple vocabulator that allowed the droid to answer "affirmative" or "negative" to simple questions. While this had its applications, the lack of answer choices often meant that an owner had to ask a convoluted series of questions to find a given piece of information.

ASP-7
This model of ASP-series droids was manufactured by Industrial Automation to be cargo movers. Like most other ASP-series droids, the ASP-7 was little more than a skeleton that was supported by hundreds of servomotors and hydraulic linkages. This allowed the ASP-7 unit to lift huge cargo crates without a problem. Most have a single ocular receptor and minimal auditory sensors, although upgrades could be found. Because these droids were given feeble programming and minimal intelligence, most ASP-7s were heavily modified by their owners.
(SWSE, MTSE, FTD, NEGD)
ASP-704
This ASP-7 series droid was employed by the Imperial Prefect of Tatooine, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. It was part of a shipment of 200 units, ordered to install communications relays throughout Mos Eisley. The Mark IV Imperial probe droids that patrolled the city regarded the relays as illegal communications systems, and often called stormtroopers to investigate their perfectly legal installation. ASP-704 eventually developed a personality tic, and would strike out at a nearby Mark IV before it could interrupt its work.

This was the general designation of the tall, spindly general purpose droids that were manufactured by Industrial Automaton for a wide variety of tasks. The basic construction of the ASP-series was centered on a spindly body connected by hundreds of servomotors. Heavy-duty hydraulic linkages allowed the droids to perform the heaviest of menial duties. Over the life of this series, some twenty distinct versions were produced, designated by the ASP-1 through ASP-20 series identification. For most beings in the galaxy, their first droid was an ASP-series unit, since the lower-numbered versions were produced as bare-bones droids that could be easily modified for a variety of applications.

Assant, Darsha
This Jedi padawan was under the tutelage of Master Anoon Bondara shortly before the Battle of Naboo. She had been orphaned on Alderaan, and discovered at the age of four by Master Bondara and brought to Courscant. In order to complete her training and become a full Jedi Knight, Darsha was ordered by Mace Windu and the Jedi Council to recover Oolth the Fondorian from the Crimson Corridor of Coruscant. The humanoid had information which was vital to the Jedi, but was afraid to travel to the Jedi Temple because of the presence of the Raptors gang. Anoon wondered at the Council's choice of tasks, but Darsha was sure of her abilities. Unfortunately, she underestimated the Raptors, who disabled her skyhopper and forced her to flee with Oolth in tow. During their flight, Darsha lost her grip on Oolth, and the Fondorian fell several hundred level to his death. Ashamed, Darsha returned to the Temple and told Bondara about the accident, and the pair set out to see if Oolth had survived. They were caught in the crossfire of Darth Maul's attempt to execute Hath Monchar and Lorn Pavan, and Master Bondara sacrificed himself to allow the other to live. Darsha fell deeper into despair, but Lorn's acceptance of her served to bolster her confidence. They nearly survived to reach the surface of Coruscant, but Darth Maul attacked. In order to save Lorn's life and ensure that news of the Trade Federation's blockade of Naboo reached the Jedi, Darsha followed her Master's example and sacrificed herself in an effort to lure Maul into a trap. She collected fuel cells using the Force, while dueling Maul with her yellow lightsaber. Her plan nearly succeeded, but Maul managed to survive while Darsha was killed. In the end, she became one with the Force.

Assassin Probe
This was the term used to describe the spider-like assassin droids that were developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the height of the Clone Wars. Assassin probes were manufactured in two sizes, one for smaller targets and one for larger targets. The larger of the two assassin probes could also carry several smaller probes into given location and then disperse them, using its size to draw attention away from the smaller assassin probes. These smaller probes were carried inside the assassin probe's body, and were expelled through dedicated ports on top of the body whenever the assassin probe was disabled or deactivated.

Assassins' Guild
This guild was established to oversee the various activities of the galaxy's assassins. It had a number of subdivisions, geared toward the specific professions of assassins, such as poisoners and bounty hunters. The Elite Circle was a separate subdivision, which catered to large clients. Given that the majority of its members were wanted criminals, the Guild's operations and central location were a tightly-kept secret.

Assault Cruiser
This form of warship was developed by the Bothans during the early years of the New Republic. Smaller in size that a Victory-class Star Destroyer, the Assault Cruiser boasted twenty percent more firepower and fifty percent more shielding and armor plating. It was leaner and less angular that the Victory-class ship, and was designed to take a beating while giving one out. The design and construction of these warships was heavily protested by many factions, since the Assault Cruiser was developed after the Imperial Remnant had negotiated a peace with the New Republic and the state of war between the two had been nullified. The ships proved to be excellent for carrying starfighters into battle, with a pair of huge hangars located amidships. The launch apertures from the ship allowed fighters to head up or down, depending on the conditions of battle, and made recovering fighters at the end of an engagement quick and easy.
(DTO)
Assault Frigate Mark I
These highly-modified Rendili StarDrive Dreadnaughts were used by the Alliance as mid-range attack ships, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The 700-meter-long assault frigate was created from the Dreadnaught when rebel military experts stripped off its outer shell to increase engine capacity and fuel efficiency. Two dorsal solar fins were also added, increasing maneuverability and energy production. A single assault shuttle was also moored atop the frigate.
There were no docking bays on an assault frigate. Instead, there were twenty retractable docking tubes that could be extended from the ship's holds. The assault frigate was also equipped with a great deal of droid and computer-automated systems. Thus, crew requirements for the assault frigate were just 5,000 beings, down from the 16,000 required on the original Dreadnaught. Accommodations for up to 100 troops was also available within its hull. The cargo holds of the frigate could transport up 7,500 metric tons of cargo and supplies.
The average Assault Frigate Mark I was armed with fifteen laser cannons, twenty quad-laser cannons, and fifteen turbolaser batteries. Note that Starships of the Galaxy indicates that the Assault Frigate Mark I was armed with three light turbolaser batteries, three turbolaser batteries, and four quad turbolaser batteries. The combination of armament and modifications led to the creation of an exceptionally durable vessel, and none of the assault frigates used by the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War were reported as slost. The success of these Alliance vessels led a group of designers within Rendili StarDrive to produce a Mark II version of the assault frigate, using their own expertise to craft a more durable version of the vessel.
(HTTE, RASB, TTSB, SWDB, WOTC, SSOG)
Assault Frigate Mark II
This was the "official" version of the highly-modified Dreadnaughts that were used by the Alliance as mid-range attack ships. The Mark II was developed by designers and engineers at Rendili StarDrive who were supportive of the Alliance's efforts in the Galactic Civil War, and wanted to produce a stronger version of the modifications and improvements that had been made by Alliance personnel. This was accomplished by starting from the original plans of the Dreadnaught-class vessels and incorporating Alliance modifications at key structural and manufacturing points, producing a vessel that was better able to take the pouding of a firefight. These changes also produced a vessel that looked nothing like the original Mark I assault frigate.
These modifications and improvements resulted in a ship that was unique in its design, but did not resemble the original Assault Frigate Mark I vessel. The changes allowed a reduction in the total crew to 4,820, while maintaining the ability to transport up 100 troops and 7,500 metric tons of cargo. The primary difference in the shipboard systems was the installation of Mon Calamari shield generator. The weapons array was reduced slightly, to accommodate the power needs of this new shield generator.
Although the Mark II assault frigate made it to production, only a few ships were actually constructed before Rendili StarDrive's executives realized that the vessel had been specifically designed with the Alliance in mind. The designers of the Mark II were purged from the corporation, and production of the Mark II was halted. However, many of these durable vessels made it to the Alliance, and they remained in active service well into the era of the New Republic.

Assembler
This species of space-going arachnids was capable of exisiting in hard vacuum. Their exoskeletons contain the necessary proteins to protect them from decompression when traveling among the stars. Their homeworld's name and location were well-kept secrets. However, individuals can be found floating in the gaps between planets, most notably the middle-man Kud'ar Mub'at. Each assembler was comprised of a primary intelligence node and the web it controls. Each node can create subnodes from its own neural fibers, and can use them for a number of facilities. A subnode which outlives its usefulness can be re-ingested by the assembler, and the physical and genetic material can be reused. In this way, assemblers tends to be quite possessive, and will reuse anything they find to augment their webs. Each intelligent primary node was also quite jealous of its own intelligence, and will strive to keeps its subnodes form becoming too intelligent. Successive generations of assemblers often grow from these subnodes, whoever, and the strongest subnode will often consume its creator, continuing the line. Any assembler which dies, but was not consumed, can be brought back to life by the application of power and data mixed in the correct proportion. This allowed Boba Fett to re-animate Kud'ar Mub'at in order to determine Neelah's identity.

Asteroid 7785
This piece of rock was once part of the planet Alderaan. After Grand Moff Tarkin destroyed the planet, the resulting rubble formed a wide asteroid field known as the Graveyard. Shortly after recovering from the injuries he suffered during the Battle of Yavin, Darth Vader circulated a rumor that the Royal Palace of Alderaan had been discovered intact on Asteroid 7785. He hoped to lure Leia Organa and any other of the survivors of the battle to Alderaan, where Captain Janus Bonn waited for them. Vader then augmented the rumors by adding a story about the mining survey team discovering a survivor in the asteroid who claimed to be Bail Organa. Vader went so far as to build a replica of the Palace inside the asteroid, using motion sensors and other mechanisms to trap his victims inside. Unfortunately for Vader, a group of Alliance agents intercepted the message from Hanos Darr and Zaz Hamiroz before it reached Leia Organa, and arrived at the asteroid before she did. The trap was sprung, but without the victims Vader intended. In reality, a tiny fragment of the Royal Palace's underground stucture was discovered in the asteroid.

When Fable's father was killed in a struggle with one of the Emperor's Inquisitors, Fable and her mother were forced to flee and hide from Palpatine's reach. Despite her military training and sensitivity to the Force, Fable was also easily distracted and moody. After her team suffered a loss during a mission to Nysza III, Fable was faced with the Dark Side of the Force in a confrontation with the Dark Jedi Vialco, who was guarding the Imperial communications bunker she was ordered to destroy. The bunker was taken out, but Vialco soundly defeated Fable in a short battle of wills. Later, in a chance encounter on the planet Iscera, Fable met Jaalib Brandl, and followed him back to Trulalis. There, she was introduced to Adalric Brandl, Jaalib's father, and was given instruction in the deeper use of the Force to help her defeat Vialco. Despite the needs of Harrier Team, Fable remained on Trulalis for many months, striving too hard and making more mistakes than she thought she was capable of making. During her training, Fable fell in love with Jaalib, a relationship that Adalric forbade. He sent Jaalib back to Iscera and called Vialco to Trulalis, provoking a battle that renewed their aggressions. She was unaware of Adalric's true intentions until she had defeated Vialco and refused to kill him outright. Adalric prodded her, then sent an image into her mind - that of Vialco recovering his lightsaber and lunging toward her. She spun her own lightsaber around and decapitated Vialco, only to snap out of the vision and realize that Vialco had never recovered the weapon. Adalric then imprisoned her, hoping to return her to the planet Byss as a gift to the Emperor.

Astor
This curly-haired man was one of the many rebels who supported the efforts of Dunlan to overthrown the Imperial-backed government of Ahakista, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. It was Astor who first warned Dunlan about the presence of Imperial troops near their safehouse, allowing them both to witness the destructiveness of the Empire.
Unfortunately for Dunlan and the rebels, Astor had secretly been working for the Imperial forces on Ahakista. He accepted a huge sum of credits to sell out his friends, after Darth Vader landed on the planet and assumed control of the Pyramid One installation. Among the information Astor provided was the knowledge of the tunnels located beneath The Hub, and the locations of several rebel hiding places.

Asylum Block was segregated from the rest of the Temple by thick walls and an energy barrier, and was set aside to properly incarcerate Force-sensitive captives. Inside, Asylum Block was made up of several cellhouses that were essentially two-story apartments. Each cellhouse was separated from the others by another barrier field, but was well-appointed and quite comfortable. However, the relative comfort of each cellhouse was offset by the fact that the walls were made of transparisteel, and the olbio trees that were visible outside the cellhouse were filled with ysalamiri.

Asyyyriak
This arboreal creature was native to the wroshyr forests of Kashyyyk. The average asyyyriak measured between one and two meters in length, but its body was no more than a third of a meter in diameter, giving it a low profile as it slinked through the branches on its six powerful legs. Each foot was tipped with four dagger-like claws, which the asyyyriak used for both climbing and attacking its prey. The mouth of the asyyyriak was dominated by a collection of thin, needle-like teeth that could be used to tear flesh or grind leaves. Asyyyriaks were omnivores, feeding on whatever material was available to fuel their metabolism. Asyyyriaks lived in small family units, with the male protecting the young while the female did all the hunting. After the young had matured enough to hunt on their own, the mated pair remained together for life, hunting as a unit. Wookiees often hunted asyyyriaks, hoping to keep the vicious creatures away from their tree-cities. During the cold season on Kashyyyk, asyyyriaks hibernated in their trees.

AT-AA
This was the Imperial All-Terrain Anti-Aircraft vehicle, a war machine that was in developed by Rothan Heavy Engineering during the final stages of the Clone Wars. Similar in many respects to the AT-AT walker, the AT-AA moved on four legs. However, its stance was very low to the ground, like a huge lizard. A heavy flak pod sat atop the main section, for use against enemy aircraft. This flak pod disgorged clouds of anti-aircraft projectiles of various types, depending on the intended mission. Sophisticated tracking and targetting systems allowed the troopers aboard the AT-AA to maximize its firing arc to bring down larger portions of an attacking wave of enemy starfighters. At eighteen meters in length, the AT-AA was a formidable sight when it plodded onto the battlefield, but its lack of defensive weaponry meant that it had to be accompanied by other ground-assault machines for protection.
(FC, SWDB)
Atai
This male Zygerian served as the Chief Advisor to the Most High Queen, Miraj Scintel, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. When Lars Quell arrived on Zygeria with the credentials of Captain Onyx, Atai ran his own background checks and searches on the man. When they turned up nothing, Atai confronted Quell and the Queen with this information. Quell simply explained that he maintained a number of different aliases in order to avoid being located by his enemies, and that he used different names to protect himself. This explanation satisfied the Queen, and Quell earned more favor when he turned over to the Queen the slave he had been planning to sell at an upcoming auction. The Queen decided to allow him the opportunity to sit at her side during the auction, and Atai was forced to protest, because this seat was traditionally reserved for the Chief Advisor. The Queen merely stated that traditions would have to change if the Zygerian empire were to continue to grow. Although Atai was forced to back down, he soon discovered an even more pressing issue when one of the guards captured Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was helping Governor Roshti escape from his holding cell. The appearance of the Jedi, and the inability of the Queen to kill Skywalker led Atai to make a secret call to Count Dooku himself. Although he was embarrassed by his role in Dooku's arrival, Atai believed that he had acted in the best interests of Zygeria. When the Queen then suggested that Dooku had no control over what happened on Zygeria, and that she would do with the Jedi as she pleased, Atai grew worried, and even tried to relieve her of her throne. When the Queen refused to submit, Dooku revealed that he no longer needed her, and that she would be replaced by Atai as the Minister of the Slavers Consortium.

Atali
This man served as the First Officer aboard the Mathayus, serving the Empire under the command of Admiral Coy. Atali was quick to ally himself with Darth Vader, when Emperor Palpatine dispacthed the Mathayus to Dargulli to track down a possible Jedi Knight. When a distress signal came from an Alliance base near Yorn Skot, Vader allowed Admiral Coy to take his ship and intercept the rebels. Unfortunately for Coy, the Alliance had laid a trap for the Imperials. The ship which was intercepted by the Mathayus was a decoy, laden with explosives that were set to go off should the ship's hull be breached. First Officer Atali sent with a team of stormtroopers to open the ship up, which set off the explosives and badly damaged the Mathayus's hangar bay. Atali and his team were killed in the explosion.

This small walker, known officially as the All-Terrain Attack Pod, was developed for the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. The AT-AP was essentially a larger version of the AT-PT, with room for a gunner in addition to the operations station of the pilot. It moved about on two heavy legs, and the clamshell cockpit was completely enclosed. A heavy laser cannon was mounted on the nose, and a turret-mounted blaster cannon sat atop the AT-AP. A fifty-round projectile launcher was also part of the vehicle's armament. To provide a more stable platform for firing laser cannon, the AT-AP was equipped with a retractable third leg that dropped down from the front of the walker. This third leg could only be deployed while the AT-AP was stationary, but was required for firing the laser cannon. The AT-AP stood eleven meters tall, and could attain speeds of up to sixty kilometers per hour.

Atar
This moustached man served as a Captain in the Galactic Alliance Security force, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Captain Atar and his squad were on duty, patrolling near Fellowship Plaza, when Bazel Warv and Yaqeel Saav'etu began to experience strange symptoms. The two young Jedi Knights fell under the influence of the same kind of Force-related psychoses that were affecting other Jedi of their generation, and Yaqeel went so far as to draw her lightsaber when she believed Bazel had been replaced by an imposter. She was quickly tranquilized by Han and Leia Solo, but not before Bazel experienced his own problems and tried to escape. The Solos also tranquilized the Ramoan, but he fell over a hedge and landed on the limousine of the Imperial Chief of State, Jagged Fel, which was parked near the Jedi Temple. These events drew Atar's attention, who tried to intervene and take the two Jedi captive before they were whisked away into the Temple. While Atar demanded that Leia Solo explain the situation, his men moved into position to hold Fel's driver at gunpoint. Fel, who had recently become engaged to Jaina Solo and knew of the strange events surrounding the young Jedi, stepped in and demanded to know why Atar and his men were ignoring the diplomatic codes the limousine was using. Atar stumbled for an answer, finally explaining that his team was tracking to criminally insane Jedi. Fel's actions gave Han and Jaina Solo a chance to move Warv and Saav'etu into the Temple, forcing Atar to produce a warrant for the arrest of any Jedi who might pose a menace to the general population. Although Leia Solo claimed that the warrant looked valid, she asked to take it to the Jedi Council for verification. Atar demanded that Warv and Saav'etu be turned over immediately, but by this time, the Solos had moved within the security perimeter that protected the Jedi Temple. Leia quickly hit the switch that secured the Temple grounds, then told Atar to wait where he was until they returned. Atar found himself stuck outside the Temple without his captives, having been deftly maneuvered by the Solos.
In the days that followed, Captain Atar was called to a Galactic Alliance Storage facility, where Jaina Solo and a group of Jedi Masters had attempted to visit Valin and Jysella Horn. The two Rodian guards, Weeze and Rosii, tried to hold the Jedi at bay, but they had a writ that indicated they were allowed to visit the to Jedi Knights at the facility. Atar and his men initially refused to acknowledge that the storage center was actually a prison facility, until the Jedi cornered him by claiming he was ignoring the orders of the Galactic Justice Center. Without a way to remove the Jedi, Atar was forced to escort them to the holding facilities where the Horns were being maintained. His frustration turned to embarrassment when he had to take them to the executive levels of the facility, which showed the Jedi that the Horn siblings were not being held as prisoners, but as trophies that were placed on display.

AT-AR
This variant on the Imperial AT-ST was known as the All-Terrain Advance Raider. The main cockpit was held lower than on an AT-ST, giving the AT-AR a more hunched appearance. The AT-AT was also faster than an AT-ST, and had better armor.

Ataro
This was one of the older forms of lightsaber combat practiced by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. Practitioners used a two-handed defensive stance when facing an opponent, providing the Jedi with a balanced position from which to defend themselves. Once engaged, a Jedi using the Ataro form moved about with great athleticism, leaping into acrobatic movements to confuse and out-position their opponent.

AT-AT
This was the designation of the Imperial All-Terrain Armored Transport vehicle, an elephantine assault tank built at the Kuat Drive Yards. These 15-meter-tall machines lumbered around on four articulated legs. Note that Inside the Worlds of the Star Wars Trilogy indicates that an AT-AT stood 22.5 meters tall. They required a crew of three to operate, although much of the war machine's motion was controlled by sophisticated artificial intelligence. The AT-AT could carry up to 40 troops and 400 kilograms of cargo. Armed with two fire-linked heavy laser cannons and two fire-linked medium blasters on its head-like cockpit, the AT-AT was designed to inspire fear in the enemies of the Empire. General Veers was a proponent of the AT-AT, and purposely overlooked the fact that the AT-AT could be toppled by a cable wrapped around its legs. Although this weakness was used effectively by the Alliance on Hoth, the Empire continued to use the AT-AT to instill fear.

Athari
This was a name used to describe the human inhabitants of the city of Athar, on the planet JanFathal. This name separated them from the rest of the Fathalians, although most of the humans who lived on the planet were forced to labor for the benefit of the ruling monarchy. Because Athar was located in one of the planet's most arid regions, the Athari were prone to spit in the streets, in order to get rid of the grit that built up in their nasal passages and throat. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, the working classes yearned to break free from the rulership of the Regent, but the Regent's security forces kept them from openly revolting. This changed when Separatist agents began visiting with local unions and inciting the workers to rebel against the pro-Republic Regent. The rebels began with small actions meant to force the Regent into a response, and many of these led to silent, nighttime raids in which the Regent's security forces simply took suspected rebels from their homes and threw them into prison. The Athari remained unwavering in their desire for freedom, and their rebellion was successful after Separatist battle droids were dispatched to the city.

At'ika
This was a Mandalorian nickname for an individual named Atin. In essence, it was the diminutive form of the name Atin, and translated into Basic as "little Atin." Kal Skirata used this term as an affectionate nickname for the clone commando known as Atin. Like other such names, the use of the nickname At'ika was reserved for those times when Mandalorians were among brothers, and it was never used in front of strangers.
(SWI87, RCTZ)
Atin
This was the name used by clone commando RC-3222. In the Mandalorian language, the word atin meant stubborn, and RC-3222 lived up to this name. He was one of the many commandos who was dispatched to Geonosis during the opening battle of the Clone Wars. He was also one of the handful of commandos who saw the rest of his team killed in battle. Unfortunately, on his second mission, Atin was once again the sole survivor. Atin held a great deal of anger and personal responsibility for the deaths of so many others, despite the fact that he himself only barely survived the fighting. He was constantly reminded of their deaths by a horrible scar that ran across his face, and he refused to have it treated so that he would not forget them. This deep-seated emotion made it hard for Atin to fit in with the other commandos who were put together to form Omega Squad.
Another difference was in his training, as Atin was the only member of Omega Squad to train under Walon Vau, whom Atin openly despised. It was later revealed that Atin had nearly been killed by Vau during his training, when Atin had refused to attack and kill another clone. Because of this incident, Kal Skirata nearly killed Vau for his actions, which served to purpose except to push clones over the edge. Atin's natural skill was with weapons of any sort, and he often chose unusual weapons for missions, based on the parameters he expected to encounter. During the final stages of the mission to capture Ovolot Qail Uthan, Atin was hit with a blast from a Verpine shatter gun while carrying Uthan's unconscious body to the extraction point. The blast splattered against his armor and caused a large amount of damage, but Atin and Uthan both ultimately survived.
About a year after the Battle of Geonosis, Atin and Omega Squad joined Kal Skirata and the commandos of Delta Squad on a black-ops mission to smash a Separatist-funded terrorist ring on Coruscant. While bunking in their makeshift base of operations at Qibbu's Hut, Atin found himself strangely attracted to Qibbu's Twi'lek assistant, Laseema. Atin had never experienced physical or emotional attraction to a female, but Laseema reciprocated his attraction, and the pair become something of a couple. They remained in contact even after the mission was over, although Atin made sure to keep his communications with Laseema private, so as not to offend or upset other clones who had trouble adjusting to the outside world.
He later was part of a mission led by Prudii to destroy a Separatist droid factory on Olanet, and was surprised to find that the production levels were well below what he would have assumed for a facility that was supplying billions of battle droids. When he voiced his concern to his squad mates, Darman merely shrugged it off, stating that troop strengths were often exaggerated as part of the normal propaganda. Atin was then shipped off to Gaftikar, as part of the GAR force that was sent in to eliminate any Separatist forces supporting the human population of the planet. While attempting to take out the primary communications facility in the city of Eyat, Omega Squad managed to set off a booby trap that destroyed most of the facility in an explosion. Fi suffered head trauma, and Atin's leg was badly injured. However, Atin was able to make a full recovery, and was back on active duty soon after.
Atin and the rest of Omega Squad were dispatched to the planet Haurgab, about two years after the Battle of Geonosis. Before shipping out, Atin asked Laseema if she would marry him, and he was happily surprised when she accepted the offer. When the rest of the squad learned of his impending marriage, Atin was the first to voice what the others had been feeling: he wanted to have a normal life after the war, even if it meant simply defecting from the GAR and taking Kal Skirata's offer to live on the planet Mandalore. Their chance to leave came in the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant and the so-called Jedi Rebellion, although Atin was forced to help Ordo and Corr extract Kal Skirata by force after Jaller Obrim stunned Skirata into unconsciousness. With help from Fi and Bardan Jusik, Atin and his comrades made their way to Mandalore. Upon reaching Mandalore, Atin adopted a new set of armor with a purple-and-brown paint scheme.

Atin
This was the Mandalorian word for "stubborn" or, more literally, "capable of endurance," stemming from the verb atiniir. Because of its origins, atin was considered a compliment, not an insult. In fact, the Mandalorian use of the word atin was often meant to describe a soldier who was tenacious, courageous, and would never give up or give in.

Atmino
This man was a native of the town of Janusar, on the planet Ranklinge, during the height of the New Order. A former Colonel in the local police force, Atmino had been forced into retirement when he refused to join Patroller Chief Cav'Saran and his band of cronies when they took control of the town. About a year later, Colonel Atmino agreed to take up whatever arms he could find against Cav'Saran, when Daric LaRone and his fellow stormtroopers assisted the townspeople in deposing Cav'Saran. Atmino and several other police officers worked with the townspeople to arrange a gathering at the Patroller Central building, disarming the few guards that stood outside and allowing the stormtroopers to do their part. Before any trouble could begin, LaRone had shot Cav'Saran dead, effectively freeing the townspeople from their shackles.

Atmo-analyzer
This was one of the many life-support systems found on most starfighters, during the early years of the New Order. The atmo-analyzer regularly monitored the air in the ship's cabin, testing it to make sure it was safe to breathe. These devices were important on small fighters, because they were only able to contain a small volume of air, which had to be constantly scrubbed and recycled in order to be breathable by the pilot. The atmo-analyzer alerted a pilot to potential problems, especially when the main scrubbers failed or leaked harmful chemicals.

(FJ1)
Atmosphere Containment Field
This type of force field was essentially an semi-permeable energy field used to keep an atmosphere on only one side of the field. These force fields were used on space stations or capital ships to keep the atmosphere inside the docking bays until the starfighters need to launch. The field could also be used to keep a hostile planet's storms and harsh weather out of a building. In some cases, the atmosphere containment field was permeable by large objects, such as starships, if they moved with the correct speed and direction.

Atoko
This being served as an Admiral in the naval forces of the Galactic Alliance, and was in command of the Fifth Battle Group during the Battle of Kuat. Atoko was later ordered by Jacen Solo to accompany the Anakin Solo to Kashyyyk, where Solo hoped to confront the Jedi Knights who had recently defected from the Alliance. Although their force was enough to hold up against the Wookiee defenses, the battle swiftly turned sour when a Confederation fleet made up of Bothan, Corellian, Commenorian, and Huttese ships arrived to trap the Fifth Fleet at Kashyyyk.
While Atoko was planning to agree to a cease-fire, Solo refused to back down. He ordered the Fifth Fleet to open fire on the enemy ships, in order to clear a pathway for the Anakin Solo to escape. Atoko delayed as long as possible, but was confronted by Solo. For reasons known to Solo himself, Admiral Atoko was not relieved of command, and was allowed to command the Fifth Fleet in an assault on the planet Mandalore. The attack on Mandalore came weeks after the Second Battle of Fondor, and days after the Mandalorian attack on the Nickel One asteroid. In addition to the destruction of key Mandalorian resources, Admiral Atoko was charged with deploying an Imperial nanokiller in the planet's atmosphere. The nanokiller virus had been created from the blood of Mirta Gev, and was designed to kill any member of Boba Fett's descendant family.

An out-dated form of ion drive, the atomic drive was replaced by the Hoersch-Kessel Ion Drive. These drives use a fission reactor to generate electromagnetic waves that reflect off the space-time fabric of realspace, creating momentum. They were extremely radioactive, and must be stored in a pod that was kept away from the living and working areas of the rest of the ship.

AT-OT
Ths All-Terrain Open Transport was one of the first troop-carrying walker designs produced by Kuat Drive Yards, and it was the first that was specifically designed as a transport, rather than an assault vehicle (such as the AT-AT). The 14.3-meter-long AT-OT moved about on eight legs, and could accommodate up to thirty-four clone troopers in its open, flatbed body. More troopers could be piled onto the flatbed if needed, but the added weight sometimes caused problems with the vehicle's movement. The AT-OT stood sopme 5.8 meters in height, which offered some protection for the troopers riding atop it. Although designed purely as a transport, the AT-OT was armed with four laser cannons.
(SWDB, CVD)
AT-PT
This was Kuat Drive Yards' All-Terrain Personal Transport vehicle, built from plans and designs originally developed by Rothan Heavy Engineering. A squat, single-pilot transport which was developed about the time of the Katana fleet but which was never mass-produced, it was similar to the AT-ST, only smaller in stature. It was armed with a twin blaster cannon and a concussion grenade launcher. The AT-PT measured four meters in length and stood three meters tall, and could accommodate up to 150 kilograms of cargo. The primary mission of the AT-PT was to give an individual all the firepower of an assault vehicle, while remaining extremely maneuverable and fast. Because the New Order was implemented before the AT-PT could be put into production, it never became available to the civilian market. The Empire later rejected the AT-PT in favor of the larger AT-ST.
(DFR, DFRSB, AEG, NEGV)
AT-PV
This was the short name for Slythor the Squib's All-Terrain Pleasure Vehicle known as the Peeve. It was a salvaged Imperial AT-AT walker, with the legs removed and replaced with four repulsorlift engines.
(OE)
ATR
This was KonGar Ship Works' assault transport ship, produced for the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. The ATR measured forty-five meters in length. Rated at 65 MGLT, these ships were larger and better-armed versions of the original Dx-9 stormtrooper transports built by Telgorn Corporation. The hull of the ATR was rated at 50 RU. Each ATR was equipped with the following shipboard components
The AT-ST required a pilot and a gunner to operate, although it was also given autoguide programming that allowed it to move without direct pilot guidance for short periods of time. An empty AT-ST could transport up to 40 kilograms of cargo, in addition to its two-man crew. It was armed with a twin blaster cannon mounted on the nose, with a twin light blaster cannon and a concussion grenade launcher mounted to turrets on the sides of the cockpit.
Because of its small size, the AT-ST lacked a dedicated power supply. Instead, it used disposable, high-intensity power cells, which tended to limit the AT-ST's range. What it lacked in firepower, the AT-ST made up for in maneuverability, and its two legs were capable of moving the walker at speeds near ninety kilometers an hour over open terrain.
Stability was maintained through a specialized locomotion system that was combined with gyro-stabilizers, both of which were constantly updated by sensors in the footpads. Despite this combination, it was learned during the Battle of Endor that an AT-ST could be knocked off its feet if the terrain shifted suddenly, or if the legs of the scout walker were damaged.

AT-ST/A
This variant of the original AT-ST design was significantly larger than a basic AT-ST, standing over 10 meters in height. The AT-ST/A had improved gyro-balancing systems, and their legs have greater reinforcement. They were armed with a single heavy blaster cannon.

This Iotran was a loyal and brutally efficient enforcer who worked for the Nalroni crimelord Sprax during the height of the Galactic Civil War. After learning that the Yen-2 mining colony was refusing to pay its protection money to Sprax, Bel Att hired Limna Yith and her mercenary band to help retake control of the colony. They were successful in doing so, even destroying an Imperial force on the planetoid, before Yith discovered the colony's computer records were full of information on Jatayus Outbound and its connections to Black Sun. Bel Att was forced to stop her from stealing the computer data, but Limna Yith was too fast for him. She slit his throat with a vibroblade before he could even reach his weapon.

(SFT)
Attack Pattern Delta
Developed by Beryl Chiffonage and Luke Skywalker, this was the attack formation used by the Alliance's snowspeeders when attacking the Imperial walkers, during the Battle of Hoth. At its simplest form, Attack Pattern Delta was a high-stakes game of chicken between two mismatched opponents. Using this pattern, Alliance speeders approached the target walker in a single-file line, presenting a small target while forcing the walker's pilot to break off any other activity to focus on the attack. Once the lead speeder was in firing range, it launched a series of volleys and the peeled off to one side. This forced the walker's gunners to make a choice: fire on the turning speeder, or continue to fire on the advancing line. Meanwhile, the second speeder in line launched its own volley of cannon fire, before peeling off in another direction. In this way, the trailing speeders could conserve shield power while firing at full-power, while the walker was rendered helpless to the continued barrage. Once all speeders in the line had fired at the walker, they could regroup a short distance away and launch another wave of attacks. This maneuver was later adapted for starfighters.

Attack Stohl
This creature was native to the planet Ichtor 8, where it was discovered by Imperial scouts who recognized its commercial value. Averaging just over a meter in length, attack stohls were warm-blooded predators whose bodies were covered with a thick pelt of downy-soft fur. Their mouths were studded with sharp fangs, which injected a poison into the bloodstream of their victims. They were considered a petty nuisance by the Imperials, and their curiosity first endeared them to hunters. However, it was soon realized that these slow-moving creatures could be trained as pets. For an extremely high price, a person could own a beautiful stole-like wrapping for their neck, which would attack any being which got too close for personal comfort. The ownership of attack stohls was popularized by Shantee Ree, who owned one and started a campaign to ensure the survival of the species.

AT-TE
This immense, six-legged vehicle was the forerunner of the Imperial AT-AT. Known as an All-Terrain Tactical Enforcer, the AT-TE provided the Army of the Republic with a formidable vehicle for bringing troops into the midst of battle. The original designs for the AT-TE were developed as a mining vehicle, but it was swiftly adapted to military uses. Among the many features that were kept from the original mining vehicle were the magnetic grapplers in each of the vehicles "toes", and the turbo-fired foot grips that allowed the AT-TE to traverse nearly-vertical terrain.
Measuring 12.4 meters in length and standing just over five meters tall, the AT-TE was armed with six anti-personnel laser turrets and a heavy projectile cannon. It could transport twenty clone troopers into battle, and carried an IM-6 medical droid for remote battlefield treatment. The crew of an AT-TE was made up of a pilot, a spotter, four interior gunners and a gunner for the exterior projectile launcher. The armor plating of the AT-TE was shielded from ion attack by built-in electromagnetic shields. Capable of speeds near 60 kilometers an hour over ground, the AT-TE was deployed onto the battlefield by an LAAT/c gunship.
The AT-TE was commisioned by the Kaminoan cloners who were employed by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, so that their clone troopers could safely be deployed into battle. The Kaminoans contracted Rothana Heavy Engineering to build these vehicles, steering clear of any corporation with ties to either the Trade Federation or the Separatists. Due to the timing of the clandestine development of the clone troopers and the development of the AT-TE, the armor design created for the clone troopers produced by the Kaminoans was not finalized when the AT-TE was first developed. Thus, the driver and spotter working in the AT-TE were forced to squeeze themselves and their armor into the cramped cockpit. In the wake of the Battle of Geonosis, when the AT-TE series first saw duty, they were often deployed in swarms to take out as much of the enemy's holdings as possible in a short period of time.

This great, gray Wookiee was the father of Chewbacca, who often went by the nickname Itchy. At the time of the Battle of Yavin, Attichitcuk was nearly 350 years old, and had been one of the leaders of the Wookiee people during the Old Republic. He was a skilled hunter and warrior, and was known to have killed and entire pack of twenty katarns which attacked him in the jungle. He also represented Kashyyyk when the Old Republic started negotiations for colonization rights to Alaris Prime. He was awarded the honor of being part of the initial colonization force as a reward for his work during the negotiations. However, on Alaris Prime he discovered that the Trade Federation had illegally set up its own base of operations. Attichitcuk was forced resort to battle, working with his fellow Wookiees to drive the Federation off. Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, were dispatched from Coruscant to help settle the conflict. During the Clone Wars, Attichitcuk was too old to actively fight, but served as a gunner and weapons expert aboard an Oevvaor jet catamaran during the defense of Kachirho. Years later, after Chewbacca was freed from Imperial slavery by Han Solo, it was Solo who gave Attichitcuk the nickname Itchy.

Atuarre
This Trianii female was born to a life of comfort and peaceful contemplation on the planet Trian. She had no dreams of becoming a Trianii Ranger, until she fell in love with Keeheen. They were soon married, and Atuarre began training as a Ranger. Atuarre became pregnant during her training, and had to break it off when she gave birth to Pakka. The family moved to the Trianii colony world of Fibuli, where their services as Rangers were needed. However, this idyllic family life was quickly shattered when the Corporate Sector Authority moved in and annexed the Trianii colony worlds, including Fibuli. Keeheen resisted with every ounce of his being, and he and Pakka were taken prisoner and sent to prison to ensure their silence. Atuarre, bereft of her family, began to concentrate on becoming the best Ranger she could possibly be, and quickly was elevated to Ranger status. She then set out to find her husband and son. Atuarre managed to rescue her son during a prisoner transfer in Authority space, but could not find her mate. Pakka's traumatized state hardened her resolve to defy the Authority and find Keeheen. She joined Rekkon's team in order to discover his whereabouts, working as an apprentice agronomist. She later helped Han Solo break the secret of Stars' End by impersonating Madam Atuarre, the leader of a band of entertainers sent to Stars' End by as a replacement for another act. At Stars' End, Atuarre, Pakka, and Han were able to free the prisoners who were being held at the facility, thanks in large part to Atuarre's quick thinking during the destruction of the facility. Once away from Stars' End, she was reunited with Keeheen. They returned to Trianii space, where Atuarre became a physical trainer for the Ranger cadets. Atuarre was distinguished by her striped pelt, yellow and green eyes, and her meter-long tail.

Atzerri was one of the member planets of the Free Trader Worlds. Later, Atzerri was one of the first worlds overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong, although it was also one of the first to be rebuilt in the wake of the war against the alien invaders. When Thrackan Sal-Solo began threatening to go to war with the Galactic Alliance some ten years after the end of the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, the government of Azterri was among the first to support the idea of Corellian independence. A few Azterri-based starships were sent to Corellia in a show of support, and an Azterri freighter was among the first ships that were shot down trying to break the Galactic Alliance's blockade of the Corellian System. This prompted the Atzerri ambassador to Coruscant to proclaim the destruction as an act of war on the GA's part, although no formal declaration of war was submitted.

Auben
This young girl eked out a meager existence as a thief on the planet Korriban, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. She found a makeshift residence in the Sith monastery beneath Dreshdae's plateau, a place where very few other beings chose to visit. Auben earned a few credits selling various items that she had stolen, usually from visiting starships. When Anakin Skywalker and Ferus Olin approached her, during their mission to apprehend Granta Omega, they were pointed to Auben as a source of information. She agreed to help them, but they found themselves pursued by the droid armies of the Commerce Guild. Auben led them to the lowest levels of the monastery, where an ancient hangar bay provided the only escape route. Unfortunately, the Sith Lord who was on Korriban to meet Granta Omega discovered her in the hangar and killed her when she got in his way.

Aucellis, Emo
This somewhat reputable explorer and historian created Aucellis Park, on the moon of Keriba VI, as a testament to his own life's work. While the Park provided visitors with many thrilling rides and attractions, they were much more exciting that Aucellis' own life.
(WOA27)
Aucellis Park
This immense amusement park, owned and operated by Emo Aucellis, was created as an homage to his former career as an explorer and historian. The attractions and shows were meant to represent events in his career which were momentous, although many regarded the attractions as much more exciting than Aucellis' own life. It was also a widely-held belief that Aucellis Park was nothing more than a tourist trap, filled with thousands of ways to separate a visitor from their credits. Unknown to most visitors, however, Aucellis Park was also a cover for a large-scale, Imperial re-education facility. The rides and attractions were designed to place beings in a more impressionable state of mind, while the food and beverages were laced with chemicals to reduce inhibitions and keep people open-minded about what they saw while visiting the Park. The underlying theme of the park revolved around the notion that exploration was good, so long as it was done in the name of the Empire. Thousands of security cameras swept the grounds, looking for people who spoke out against the Park's ideals or, more specifically, the Empire. These individuals were quickly escorted to an area beneath the part for re-education. The perimeter of the park was continually monitored by no less than 312 security droids and six destroyer droids which served as squad leaders, and additional security cameras were hidden in nearly every sign found throughout the park.

This metal was considered a valuable commodity during the last decades of the Old Republic, and a large ingot could command more than 300 million Republic credits. The metal, especially in ingot form, appeared to burn with an inner light which refused to have a definite color. During the years following the Great Sith War, aurodium served as the standard against which the Republic's credits were valued. For many years, this valuable ore was refined and used for currency by the Trade Federation. The Federation would only accept bribes in the form of aurodium ingots, since they could be easily moved about without interference from the Republic.

Aurorient Express
This immense, ray-shaped luxury cruiser was owned and operated by Clode Rhoden. The ship was a symbol of the alien's wealth and status, and made a perfect target for the eco-terrorist group known as the Green Forge. The alien named Buck insinuated himself into the Rhoden family by serving as Madam Rhoden's personal trainer. He then convinced her to destroy the ship and kill her husband, as part of a plot to aquire his life insurance policy. To cover his tracks, Buck created a diversion by making it appear that the Aurorient Express had been attacked by pressure pirates. Unfortunately for Buck and Madam Rhoden, the ship actually was under attack by pressure pirates, who used Fastlach-class defense droids to tear apart key sections of the ship. The various plans to steal the wealth of Clode Rhoden and the cargo of the Aurorient Express were thwarted by Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi. However, after all parties decided to take their differences to the courts, Bouyardy and Waverton allowed a core bomb found onboard the Aurorient Express to explode as payback for all their troubles.

Austin
This man was one of the many corrections officers who served under Captain Jareth Sartoris aboard the prson barge Purge, about a year before the Battle of Yavin. When the Purge experienced problems with its thrusters and was stranded in the Unknown Regions, ICO Austin, along with Vesek and Armitage, were assigned to a task force led by Sartoris to investigate the presence of an abandoned Star Destroyer in their vicinity. The hope was that drive components from the larger ship could be salvaged to help repair the Purge. Aboard the Star Destroyer, however, Austin developed a hacking cough that was later linked to the unusual virus that was being developed aboard the huge ship. Upon returning to the Purge, Austin was sent to the infirmary, although he initially refused to be treated by Doctor Zahara Cody. Like many other Imperial officers, Austin felt Cody was inferior because she was a civilian, and he asked to be treated by the ship's 2-1B droid, which had been nicknamed Waste. Austin also refused to explain what had happened aboard the Star Destroyer, claiming that Cody wouldn't really care anyway. Cody tried to make sure Austin was treated, but he died within hours of returning to the Purge.

(RHD)
Autem, Reymet
This young man, the son of Blue Guard member Sagoro Autem, was twenty years old at the time of the Battle of Geonosis. He had been educated at the Leadership School on Andara, but as a scholarship student. This meant that he was snubbed by most of his wealthier classmates, and was something of a loner during his education. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, Sagoro sent Reymet to be trained as a Senate Guard, although Reymet chafed at the education. He wanted to spend his time racing through the garbage pits of Coruscant, risking his life for thrilling activities. This frustrated Sagoro, whose father and grandfather had both served the Senate Guard with honor and distinction, especially when there were a number of arrests during the illegal races. Reymet, however, had noble intentions while racing, hoping to earn enough credits to book passage for his girlfriend, Riao Siao, back to her homeworld of Felacat. When his uncle, Venco Autem, agreed to help get Riao back to Felacat, Reymet gladly provided his father's Senate Guard access codes to Venco, unaware that Venco was planning to use them for illicit actions. When the Senate Guard and the Jedi Knights implicated Venco in the murder of Jheramahd Greyshade and the attempted murder of Simon Greyshade, Reymet was forced to reveal his misuse of the authorization codes to his father. Sagoro managed to thwart Venco's plans, but began to realize that his family meant more to him than his loyalty to the Guard. Rather than allow Reymet to be arrested as an accomplice to Greyshade's murder, Sagoro sacrificed his own career to allow Reymet and Riao to escape Coruscant. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, Reymet was arrested for stealing the souped-up speeder of Senator Simon Greyshade, the man his father had been assigned to protect. After being arrested, the Senator's speeder was "stolen" by Anakin Skywalker, during his attempt to rescue his Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, from the ASN-121 droid which tried to assassinate Senator Padme' Amidala. After being released from prison, Reymet went underground, taking up the life of a smuggler until he reappeared in the disguise of the bounty hunter known as Evan Hessler. Using this alias, Reymet was able to save his father from being hunted down and killed by a group of bounty hunters hired by Darth Vader. He took Sagoro aboard his own starship and set off to reunite his father with the rest of his family.
(HNN5, RHD, JQ5, RL)
Autem, Sagoro
This man was a Senate Guard, serving the Blue Guards under Commander Zalin Bey during the years following the Battle of Naboo. He refused to be promoted, preferring active duty to a desk job. He also felt a deep-seated hatred of his older brother, Venco, a former Senate Guard who had been taking bribes and payoffs to overlook certain evidence against Senators. It was Sagoro himself who discovered this, and he never forgave Venco for his actions. The decision to remain an active Guard came back to haunt him when Senator Jheramahd Greyshade was murdered, eight years after the Battle of Naboo. Sagoro and his partner, Isaru Omin, were assigned to investigate the murder of Greyshade, allowing the Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to protect Simon Greyshade. When it was discovered that Venco Autem was behind the assassination of Jheramahd Greyshade, Sagoro was taken off the investigation, and assigned to keep watch over Simon Greyshade. Upon returning home, Sagoro discovered that his son, Reymet, had provided Venco with Sagoro's own authorization codes. Rushing to the Senate Rotunda, Sagoro found that Venco had infiltrated Simon Greyshade's chambers and was planning to kill him. Sagoro was forced to shoot his own brother, killing him to ensure that Greyshade survived. When a full-scale investigation into Venco's actions was launched, Sagoro realized that family meant more to him that he thought. He sacrificed his own career to ensure that Reymet was able to leave Coruscant and avoid being implicated in Venco's plans. His own partner, Isaru, was forced to arrest him as an accomplice to Venco's plans. He was imprisoned on Brentaal, until Shogar Tok and his Separatist forces took control of the prison and began to use it as their base of operations. Sagoro led a team of insurgent prisoners - along with Lyshaa and Ryyk - in a revolt, only to be cut off by Jedi Master Shaak Ti and a squad of clone troopers. With the Republic's forces pinned down, Shaak Ti offered the three their freedom in exchange for helping the Jedi to destroy Tok's hold on Brentaal. They reluctantly agreed, seeing no better path to freedom. Autem agreed to accompany Quinlan Vos on a mission to destroy the weapons emplacements defending the fortress, which might allow the Republic's forces to gain access to the facility. Just before Vos could set the explosives, however, they were apprehended by Tok's forces. Unknown to the Separatists, though, was that Korto Vos and Sagoro Autem had planted a series of explosives. Many of the undetected explosives went off spectacularly, destroying much of the weaponry protecting Tok's fortress and allowing Vos and Autem to escape. After Shaak Ti defeated Shogar Tok in combat, they kept their end of the bargain and allowed Sagoro to go free. Sagoro later decided to join the Republic's military, serving as a Captain in the Navy during the final months of the Clone Wars. He was in command of the space-based forces of the Republic during the siege of Saleucami, working with the various Jedi Masters to bring down the Separatists' defenses once their planetary shields were disabled. After the Jedi Rebellion, Autem found himself forced to serve the newly-founded Galactic Empire, which went against his own beliefs. Although ostensibly loyal to the Empire, Autem was targeted for arrest for supposed collusion with rebel forces on Coruscant. He arranged to flee Coruscant with the help of Ch'ord Sy'fon, unaware that the Bothan later provided information on his location to Darth Vader himself. Vader dispatched a group of bounty hunters to track him down, but Sagoro escaped when Evan Hessler revealed himself to be Sagoro's son, Reymet. Note that this character was referred to as Saguro Autem in Star Wars: Jedi - Shaak Ti.

Autem, Venco
This man was behind the plans to influence the Financial Reform Act, some eight years after the Battle of Naboo. A former Senate Guard, Venco was the older brother of Sagoro Autem. He was expelled from the Guards for taking payoffs to overlook certain evidence, after an in-depth investigation by Sagoro himself. Venco was sent to prison, and was eventually released with time-off for good behavior. Venco claimed that he did what he did to help expose the corruption in the Senate, but Sagoro never believed him. It was discovered that Venco arranged for the deaths of many Senators prior to the vote on the FRA, including Jheramahd Greyshade, then ensured that appropriately conditioned replacements were elected to support his position. He tried to cover his actions by explaining to Sagoro that he was dying, which in fact was true. After contracting a terminal disease while in prison, Venco had nothing to lose, and decided to do whatever he could to further his ideals. When Sagoro proved intractable, Venco decided to become close to Sagoro's son, Reymet. When Reymet tried to get his girlfriend, Riao Siao, freed and returned to Felacat, Venco used his contacts to assist in her release. In return, Venco asked for Reymet's security codes, ostensibly to make contact with a Senator. Reymet's codes had been revoked when he was arrested for garbage pit racing, but he provided Sagoro's codes instead. Using his brother's codes, Venco infiltrated the Senate Rotunda and arranged to guard Senator Greyshade's platform. Using a feint arranged by Princess Tsian, Venco found himself alone with Greyshade, and was about to murder him when Sagoro discovered him. After exchanging angry words, Sagoro was forced to shoot and kill Venco to save Greyshade's life.

Authority Picket Fleet
This military force was originally established by the Corporate Sector Authority as a sort of border patrol, policing the boundaries of the Corporate Sector to ensure nothing illegal occurred there. Conceived of by CSA leaders as a police force, the Picket Fleet was soon redefined in terms of naval forces, rather than police. The CSA found little assistance from the Empire in patrolling its borders, and was forced to scrounge together a ragtag fleet of starships. The CSA also had to populate its fleet with former Imperial Navy officers who had retired or been dishonorably discharged. Over the years, the Picket Fleet evolved from a laughing stock to a well-educated task force, but it lacked any real guidance from the Corporate Sector Authority on its rules for engagement. Rather than operating under a clear set of guidelines, the Picket Fleet was forced to operate on the assumption that any other ship was a potential problem. If it could not be identified immediately, it was fired upon and disabled.

(HSL, FFT)
Autoinjector
This speciallized injection tool was used in many medkits, and was useful in cases where an individual was afraid of being jabbed with a normal needle. The autoinjector resembled a simple cylinder. However, when placed against the flesh, it automatically released a small needle that injected a drug or medicine into the bloodstream. In this way, a frightened individual could be medicated without causing undue stress beforehand.
Many bounty hunters and assassins came to favor the autoinjector, since it allowed them to bypass certain visual and other scanning systems.

AV
This was an acronym used by many military forces to describe an assault vehicle.
(RC66)
AV-1
Produced by GTU, this was their basic suit of power armor. It was portable and sturdy, and provided good protection for most light-duty applications. GTU went on to produce three derivative suits of armor for specific applications: the AV-1S for scouts and explorers, the AV-1C for combat soldiers, and the AV-1A for assault troops.
(GFT)
AV-1A
This was a military suit of assault armor, which found its way to the black market during the height of the New Order. Manufactured by GTU, the AV-1A was the most sophisticated derivative of the basic AV-1 suit of power armor. It was the bulkiest AV-1 suit, requiring fifteen minutes to fully don, but it also provided twelve hours of operating time before requiring replenishment. Like the AV-1C, the AV-1A came equipped with a repulsorlift engine for maneuverability, and was given enhanced imaging and communications systems. It also provided superior life support and strength augmentation facilities.
(SWJ14, GFT, AEG)
AV-1C
Developed by GTU from the basic AV-1 suit of power armor, the AV-1C was designed for combat use. It was equipped with a comprehensive weapon integration and targeting system, which allowed the user to link two weapons to the suit's onboard battle computer for easier use. Like the AV-1S, this suit was equipped with a small repulsorlift engine to greater maneuverability, as well as a suite of imaging systems spanning visible and infrared spectra.
(GFT)
AV-1S
This derivative of GTU's AV-1 suit of power armor was equipped with sensor systems and survival tools for use by scouts and explorers. The AV-1S was also given a repulsorlift engine, to help the wearer move about in rugged or hostile environments.
(GFT)
AV21
This sleek landspeeder was noted for its long, pointed body and sleek design. The AV21 could accommodate a pilot and a single passenger.
(SWGAL)
AV-21
This landspeeder was produced during the height of the New Order. It was an exceptionally sleek-looking vehicle, with a front end that appeared to have been designed for use on a starfighter. The long, low lines of the AV-21, coupled with the rear-mounted repulsorlift engines, gave the AV-21 an immediate impression of speed. Because of its relatively low production numbers, rumors abounded that the AV-21 was a prototype assault vehicle that was produced by the Alliance. According to later Imperial propaganda, the AV-21 was manufactured as a landspeeder to test the prototype without drawing attention to the Alliance's activities.
(SWGAL)
AV-6R7
This Imperial V-series supervisor droid was assigned to oversee the construction of the second Death Star, serving directly for Moff Jerjerrod. AV-6R7's arms were removed as punishment for failing to monitor a faulty power droid. It was believed that AV-6R7 was assigned to the bridge of the Executor during the Battle of Endor, but no Imperial records survived to detail its location.
(VD)
AV-7
This anti-vehicle weapon was designed for the Grand Army of the Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Similar in many respects to walkers and other legged vehicles, the AV-7 was operated by a clone trooper pilot who sat to one side of the huge cannon that dominated the vehicle. The AV-7 moved about on a repulsorlift drive system until it reached a deployment point on the battlefield. The AV-7 could then be set down, and four heavy-duty legs could be extended to raise the platform off he ground and provide a stable base from which to fire its payloads at enemy targets.
(CWTV28)
Avabush
This was one of the few forms of plantlife on the planet Baros. It was a prickly, cactus-like plant, and was the primary form of food consumed by the Brubbs. It could also be dried and ground into a spice-like substance known as avabush spice.
(GG4, ZHR, MMY)
Avabush Spice

Avatar Orbital Platform
This orbital space station was designed by the Trandoshan bounty hunter Pekt, as a facility where the Empire could detain and subjugate Wookiees for slavery. It was located near Kashyyyk, in order to ensure minimal transport time for "wild" Wookiees. Over time, Avatar became a source of fear and sadness for the Wookiees, who knew that family members stolen from Kashyyyk were sent to Avatar for "taming." During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Avatar was the site of a riot that was blamed on both the Wookiees and the Trandoshans, depending on who one talked to about it. All that was known was that members of the Zssik clan of Trandoshans ended up battling members of the Blackscales, and the Wookiees on the station took the opportunity to try and escape. Imperial forces intercepted a transmission from a group of freelance operatives who were on Avatar to try and rescue a group of Wookiees, but were unable to pinpoint its source.

Avatar-7
This was the codename of the prototype battle droid that eventually became the basis for the B3-series Super Battle Droid. The Avatar-7 was conceived by a group of scientists who were working on the planet Foundry, as part of a competition held by the leader of the Techno Union, Wat Tambor. He pitted two teams against each other to create the B3, hoping that the competition would result in new technologies. While the Avatar-7 was chosen by General Grievous himself to serve as the template for the B3-series, the team on Metalorn developed the C-B3 cortosis battle droid.
(NEGD)
Avatar's Needle
This was the name of Shanto Dhil's modified Guardian-class cruiser. Designed to be a pirate vessel, the Avatar's Needle was armed with four heavy laser cannons, and was refitted for the storage of stolen goods. Dhil never revealed how he obtained the ship, which was obviously an Imperial craft at one time. He used the ship to pose as an Imperial customs ship, then preyed upon unwitting bacta transports. Dhil never actually boarded the ship, but instead he "docked" with one of the spheres on a B-12 transport and clamped onto it with a specialized cradle. He then detached the bacta sphere and fled into hyperspace, often before the transport's Captain realized what was going on.
(LOE)
Avedame
This fruit-producing, fungus-like tree was native to the Jasserak Highlands, on the planet Drongar. The round, reddish-purple fruit grew to about the size of a human fist, and could be pressed to release its juices. The pulp had a tart, crisp taste. The juice of the avedame could be fermented to create a flavorful, red wine.
(MJH)
A-vek Iiluunu Fighter Carrier
This 800-meter-long Yuuzhan Vong wasrship was similar in appearance to a flat, ovoid stone. A collection of branch-like appendages studded the exterior surface of the A-vek Iiluunu, each of which could hold up 144 coralskippers. The mission profile of this ship was to deposit its complement of coralskippers into a battlezone and then retreat to the fringes, where it awaited the end of the fighting. Coralskippers could return to the A-vek Iiluunu to be rejuvenated at any time. Each of these carriers required a crew opf 320 to operate, and could accommodate up to 480 pilots and 280 metric tons of cargo. Twenty plasma projectors and several dovin basals gave the A-vek Iiluunu adequate protection.
(NJOSB)

Avengeance
This Bothan cruiser was outfitted by Reh'mwa and his fundamentalists, some five years after the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong, as they set out to locate Zonama Sekot and complete the ar'kai placed on the alien invaders. The ship's progress was closely monitored by Luke Skywalker and the new Jedi order, since the Yuuzhan Vong on Zonama Sekot had been given the opportunity to live there in peace. After the vessel got too close to Zonama Sekot, the Jedi arrested the entire crew and sent them to the MaxSec Eight prison facility for violating the secrecy of the planet's location.

Avenger
This style of double-bladed lightsaber hilt was sometimes found among the new order of Jedi Knights who were trained by Luke Skywalker during the height of the New Republic, despite its name and the fact that it harkened back to the weapons of Exar Kun and Darth Maul. The Avenger hilt was formed from a pair of similar lightsaber hilts, welded together at the ends to form the body. Each hilt was streamlined in shape, with a thin-bodied emitter producing a stiletto-like blade from each end.

Avenger
An Imperial-I class Star Destroyer under the command of Captain Needa, the Avenger's mission was to search out the Alliance's bases following the Battle of Yavin. The Star Destroyer participated in the suppression of over 436 planets - many of which were found in the Outer Rim Territories -and it was the lead ship in the attack on the Alliance's Hoth base. It was temporarily disabled by the Alliance's ion cannon, but it later assisted in the hunt for the Millennium Falcon. The Star Destroyer remained at the forefront of the Imperial fleet, serving as the communications vessel in the Battle of Endor and participating in the Battle of Calamari. It was later under the command of Sedriss the Executor during the period when Sedriss was initiating Operation Shadow Hand. Note that X-Wing: Alliance claims this ship was an Imperial-II class Star Destroyer.

Aven'sai'ulrahk was unaware that her primary Senator, Vien'sai'malloc, was in league with the Separatists, and had given them a location on Devaron from which to launch a series of ambushes against Republic supply convoys. However, after Aayla Secura and the Jedi Masters Tholme and the Dark Woman wre able to defeat Aurra Sing and bring Vien'sai'malloc to justice, President Aven'sai'ulrahk demanded that the Senator be dealt with as a criminal to the planet Devaron first. Of course, this meant immediate death.

Tall, predatory birds native to Altor 14, they have three opposable fingers on each wing. They were primitive and lawless, and despise technology. They were often called Altorian Birds. Much of the Avogwi society was dominated by the teachings of Toro-toral, which detail the elaborate ritual duels among Avogwi. Many Avogwi found off their homeworld were employed as bounty hunters. Emperor Palpatine subjugated a number of Avogwi during the New Order, using drugs and the Dark Side of the Force to keep the Avogwi hallucinating about their deepest fears. They were then used as vicious guards, while stormtroopers were used for more important tasks. The Avogwi were carnivorous.

A-Wing
The generalized name of the Dodonna/Blissex RZ-1 Starfighter, this ship was designed from the R-22 Spearhead. It was a flat, one-man, wedged-shaped snub fighter built for the Alliance after the loss of Echo Base and prior to the Battle of Endor. The A-Wing was designed, as its name implies, by Jan Dodonna and Walex Blissex. Because the Alliance was short on funds, most A-Wings were custom-built in private shops. As an example, the ship Tycho Celchu flew at the Battle of Endor had its cockpit inlaid with Fijisi wood.
The standard A-Wing measured 9.6 meters in length, and was designed for interception and long-range reconnaissance. One unique feature of the A-wing was the short hydro-servo bearing installed in each wingtip, allowing the pilot to tilt the laser cannons up to sixty degrees up or down. Its top sublight speed was 120 MGLT, and it could maneuver at 1,300 kilometers per hour in an atmosphere, making it an excellent craft in a dogfight. However, it had limited navcomp capabilities, being able to calculate only two jumps before requiring recalibration.
The A-Wing boasted the following shipboard systems:
One obscure aspect of the A-Wing's design came to light after the Battle of Endor, when Arvel Crynyd used his ship to singlehandedly destroy the Executor. The A-Wing's unique shape, coupled with its speed and its highly-explosive fuel system, made the starfighter a manned projectile weapon of incredible destructive capability. The ship's reinforced nose section provided additional benefit when used as a ram, since it was heavily reinforced, allowing it to plow through another starship's hull with relative ease.

A-Wing Slash
This New Republic naval battle technique required split-second timing among a group of starfighters. The maneuver usually employed a group of X-Wings which flew directly toward the defensive line guarding a capital ship. Flying just behind the X-Wings would be a group of A-Wings, hiding in the X-Wings' drive glows. The X-Wings disengaged their attack at the last second, drawing the fire of the defense with them. The A-Wings could then strafe the undefended ship at will. It was very similar to a saggery-blossom maneuver.

Tavion took up her former master's torch, and hoped to revive the spirit of Marka Ragnos and use the ancient Sith's power to augment her own. She had taken one apprentice, the Twi'lek Alora, before capturing Rosh Penin and converting him to the Dark Side of the Force. Although Alora was killed in combat by Jaden Korr on Taspir III, Tavion continued to move toward her ultimate goal. When she was finally ready, after acquiring a great deal of Force energy to power the Scepter of Ragnos, she traveled to Korriban to complete her mission. On the remote world, she was confronted by Jaden Korr, and challenged the young Jedi Knight to a duel. She managed to transfer the power that was stored in the Scepter to the Tomb of Ragnos, and the Sith Lord's spirit rose from the dead to take control of her body. Despite the additional power she gained from being on the planet, and the power she gained from Ragnos's spirit, Tavion was defeated in combat. In order to defeat Ragnos as well, Jaden had to kill Tavion, which drove Ragnos out of her body and left him vulnerable to destruction.

Aybock, Lobar "Ion Fist"
A Calian native of the planet Shiva IV, this noted shockboxer wrote his own life story in the autobiography Fists Of Ion: Memoirs Of A Champion Shockboxer. Much of his life was spent as a slave, after Imperial forces bombarded his hometown and failed to turn him into a good soldier. Aybock was sold to the Zygerians, who later sold him to the shockboxing trainer Eedund Cus. Cus saw his potential as a fighter, and taught him how to read and write. Over time, Aybock's training led to a habit of going for a long run the morning of a fight, to help him work off excess energy. Along with Cus and his Gungan assistant, Stitchy, Aybock eventually made his way to Reuss VIII, earning a meager living in the arenas of the Portmoak Sector of the galaxy. Best-known for being the only shockboxer ever to defeat Tontruk, Aybock fell into debt with the local crimelord, Torel Vorne, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Eedund Cus soon discovered that the only way Vorne would pay for Aybock's death benefits was to receive Aybock's cadaver shortly after his death. Aybock hoped that winning a shockboxing bout against Tull Raine would pay off his debts, even though the Barabel was one of the most vicious fighters on Reuss VIII.
Before the bout, Aybock and Cus were approached by Major Bren Derlin, on the New Republic Intelligence agency. Derlin and his associates wanted to enlist Aybock's help in bringing down the black-market dealings of Torel Vorne, and had learned that Vorne planned to sell off Aybock's bodily organs when he lost the fight. Derlin hoped that, with the help of Dransa Beezer, they could overcome any tampering Vorne's thugs might try on Aybock's armor and hub. If Aybock could then defeat Tull Raine, they would be able to expose Torel Vorne. Much to Cus' chagrin, Aybock agreed to the fight, but only if Beezer made sure it was a fair fight for both shockboxers. Once the fight actually started, Aybock managed to hold his own for five phases, and was even briefly ahead on most scorecards. This gave Torel Vorne and his cronies reason to squirm, since their normally sleazy tactics were not working. During the following phases, Raine used his brute force to push Aybock to the edge, and by the end of the ninth phase, Aybock was bleeding profusely and could barely remember anything about the fight. However, as he stood up for the tenth phase, Aybock started to hear the crowd cheering for him, rather than Tull Raine, and his mind cleared enough to realize that he was not fighting for the prize, but for the people of Reuss. It was then that he was overcome by the ryastraad, and he found himself fighting through the pain to pummel Raine with a series of blows, until the Barabel's hub shut down. Then, with one huge, lunging punch, Aybock managed to knock Raine clear out of the wedge and into luxury seats that were occupied by Torel Vorne and his pals. The blow broke Aybock's hand, but he barely felt the injury.
In the aftermath of the fight, Vorne was forced to flee Reuss VIII, and Aybock himself was declared a hero by the native Reussi population, who gave him the nickname "Ion Fist". He donated a share of his winnings to Mygo Skinto, to help improve the lives of the Rust Rats. zZip Motor Concepts even offered to name their next luxury speedertruck the 42-Aybock Ion in his honor. The victory earned Aybock the Outer Rim Ponderweight championship, and he later went on to claim the championship in the Mid Rim as well. Aybock also established a new home on the planet Chandrila, to which he later retired.

Ayna-seff
This Kel Dor word translated into Basic as "dead brain".
(FJ1)
Ayna-seff
This was a Kel Dor name for one of the many techniques that were part of the hassat-durr family of abilities, as described by the Baran Do Sages. The ayna-seff technique involved the use of electromagnetic radiation to shut down one's mind, making the individual disappear from the perception of another Force-sensitive individual. Appropriately, the name ayna-seff translated literally into Basic as "dead brain". It was believed that Jacen Solo learned this technique from the Baran Do during his travels after the Yuuzhan Vong War, prompting Luke Skywalker to travel to Dorin in an attempt to learn it for himself. Training to learn this technique was quite intense, and early lessons were focused on teaching an individual how to locate and focus the energies required to attempt it. The Baran Do Sages had a student focus on lifting a durasteel ball from a plate-like container, linking the student's body to the container by a conductive cord. Rather than using the Force to lift the ball, students were told to use the Force to collect and transmit electromagnetic energy. Only energy of a certain type would make the ball rise, and only a specific form of this energy would hold it steady. Over time, the student was trained to hold the ball steady, hovering in the air just a centimeter above the plate, for hours and even days, until they could properly generate and sustain the correct flow of electromagnetic radiation.

Ayrou
This alien race, native to the Outer Rim world of Maya Kovel, was characterized by its blood-chilling voice. As a people, the Ayrou were known to be strong-willed individualists, committed to maintaining a peaceful existence of barter and negotiation. Most Ayrou regarded any form of combat as a juvenile approach to resolving a situation, preferring to use their brains to determine a suitable outcome. Because of this, the Ayrou were known to debate on a topic for generations before abruptly changing societal customs to meet their needs. This also instilled in the Anyrou a hoarding mentality, with each individual holding onto anything they could find, on the off-chance it might prove useful one day. The average Ayrou stood two meters in height, and was distinguished by their long limbs and milk-white skin. Their startling eye colors were matched only by the bright plumage the Ayrou had instead of hair, and many Ayrou were continually preening themselves to ensure their best appearance. The fingers on their hands were tripled-jointed, allowing the Ayrou to grasp and bend their hands into unusual positions.

This Quarren served as one of the Sith Lords who supported the rule of Darth Krayt, during the years following the Sith-Imperial War. Because of his ancestry, Darth Azard was placed in charge of the Imperial fleet that partrolled the space near the planet Mon Calamari, protecting the shipyard that were located in orbit around the planet. Like other Sith Lords of the time, Darth Azard had his skin tattooed with red and black Sith markings. Darth Azard ordered his fleet Admiral, Sha Dun, to prevent Gar Stazi from launching any raids against the Imperial forces in the system. When Admiral Dun's tactics proved to be ineffective, Darth Azard executed him, and replaced Dun with Admiral Dru Valan. When Admiral Valan committed suicide after failing to prevent the theft of the Imperious, Darth Azard was ordered to report to New Coral City, where Darth Krayt was personally going to address the theft.
It was Darth Krayt's command that one-tenth of the Mon Calamari population be executed in response to Gial Gahan's role in the theft, and Darth Azard was more than happy to kill any Mon Calamari near him with his two-bladed lightsaber. The massacre was captured by roving holocams and televised throughout the galaxy, as a warning to any people or planet that dared to defy Darth Krayt's rule. On orders from Darth Krayt, Darth Azard also oversaw the capture of any Galactic Alliance personnel who were on Mon Calamari at the tiime. Thus, he was concerned when he sensed a disturbance in the Force near the prison facility. Upon learning that the Imperial forces there had been tricked by Imperial Knights into letting the prisoners go free, Darth Azard sliced the Imperial commander in two with his lightsaber before trying to prevent their escape. He engaged Treis Sinde in a duel,

They took him to a secret place in the Crystal Cave, and planned to transport him to Nar Shaddaa to collect the bounty on his head. However, they were tracked there by The Exile and his party. Azkul refused to turn Vrook over, and The Exile was forced to trick Azkul into letting his "fix" the force cage in which Vrook was being held. The Exile then freed the Jedi Master and fled the cave. Azkul then pursued the Jedi back to the Khoonda Administration Center, where he confronted them again. This, to prove he was more than ready to fight, he killed Administrator Terena Adare in cold blood, then challenged The Exile. However, the sudden appearance of Jedi Master Vrook turned the tables on Azkul, and he and his mercenaries were killed when they tried to fight their way free.

This Tusken Raider was badly injured when he encountered a mole serpent in the desert of Tatooine, some time before the Battle of Yavin. The mole serpent had been brought to Tatooine by Ranon Djelkh, but the bounty hunter who was transporting his had to crash-land in the desert. A-Zulmun managed to survive his encounter with the worm by shoving his slugthrower rifle into the mole serpent's mouth. Shortly afterward, his dying body was found by a group of smugglers who had inadvertently come to possess the Tirginni Cologne Djelkh had imported. Although he distrusted them with every fiber of his existence, A-Zulmun eventually began to talk to the smugglers. When they agreed to help move the bounty hunter's ship - the Star Stalker, which was blocked the entrance to the cave used by A-Zulmun's tribe - he showed them the way to the ship. When Ranon Djlekh and his thugs showed up to retrieve the mole serpent, A-Zulmun managed to injure the crimelord with another rifle, giving the smugglers a chance to defeat the crimelord. Once the remains of the Star Stalker were moved, A-Zulmun thanked the smugglers and began to restore his tribe's home.
