B. J. Rordan's Collectables
This old bulding, located in the Verena City starport on the planet Kirima, was owned and operated by Bren-Jules Rordan. Rordan used the business - which sold various bits and pieces of discarded junk - as a cover for his operations as head COMPNOR agent on the planet.

B-0B
This Treadwell droid worked aboard the first starship Platt Okeefe piloted for the Klatooinan Trade Guild, the Brentaal Princess. The droid was destroyed, however, when Platt was forced to crashland on Tatooine. B-0B hadn't been properly stowed, and was dashed against the bulkheads.

B1
A series of labor droids built by AccuTronics, the B1 was designed to perform heavy-lifting and manipulatory tasks. The B1 had become a necessary part of most spaceports, where it was used to load and unload bulk freighters and other cargo ships. The 1.5-meter droid was programmed to respond to the simplest of commands, and was incapable of learning from its environment. This eliminates the need for periodic memory wipes, reducing the operating costs associated with it.

B-12 Transport
One of the few specialty starship designs produced by Kuat Drive Yards, the B-12 was designed to transport bacta. Based on the designs of the Lancer-class frigate, the B-12 measured 238 meters in length, and required a crew of 26 to operate. It could transport up to six passengers and 600,000 metric tons of bacta. Many of these ships were modified to have a concealed laser cannon, especially at the height of the Galactic Civil War, to protect the ships from being hijacked. The central fuselage of the B-12 was made up of sixteen pressurized, temperature-controlled spheres, in which the bacta was transported to prevent spoiling.

B14
This 613-series digger droid was owned by the Tredway family, and worked at the 24 Tredway mining facility until it was destroyed by Imperial Governor Parnell. B14 provided information on the injuries to Dena Tredway to Luke Skywalker. B14, along with B70 and P39, sacrificed themselves in order to allow Luke Skywalker, Gideon Smith, and Sidney Shortfang rescue Dena Tredway and take her to Ire Eleazari's asteroid for medical treatment.

B1-series Battle Droid
The armed footsoldiers of the Trade Federation, these thin droids were the mainstay of the Federation's armed forces. As in other situations that required a show of force, the Trade Federation spared no expense in designing these droids to fight their battles. The Federation's droids were built by Baktoid Combat Automata to resembled the dissicated skeleton of the Geonosians who were contracted to manufacture them. This fearsome shape stood 1.91 meters tall, was plated with white armor, and could carry and operate a wide range of weapons. A backpack mounted to the droid contained much of the droid's sensors and communications gear. They could be deployed in massive numbers by using MTT tanks to bring them to the battle site. The droids were stored in a compact, fetal position in long racks aboard the MTT, and were placed on the battlefield until a Droid Control Ship activated them. If there opponent started to turn back the battle droid force, they were programmed to call in reinforcements, such as destroyer droids.
The Neimoidians placed battle droids in every area of their military, and distinguished their various uses by color. Red-shouldered droids served as security teams, blue-colored battle droids served as pilots, while yellow-shouldered droids were part of the command structure. Plain white droids were infantry and soldiers. At the height of its power, it was rumored that the Trade Federation had no idea exactly how many battle droids were under its command. Although the Trade Federation was ordered to stop production of these droids in the wake of the Battle of Naboo, production continued in secrecy on the planet Geonosis.
Several improvements were made over the next several years, during which time the B1-series served as the design basis for the B2-series Super Battle Droid. The primary updates involved making the B1 Battle Droid more autonomous by eliminating the need for a Droid Control Ship and installing new programming. Up to 200 battle droids could be controlled in the field by a living commander using a specially-programmed datapad. During the height of the Clone Wars, echolocation systems were added to augment the directional sense of the battle droids. Despite the ease with which these droids could be produced and deployed, B1-series battle droids were simple-minded automatons that needed constant input on what they were supposed to do, and intense battle action tended to drain the internal batteries quite rapidly.
It was estimated that the number of battle droids in the Separatist armed forces numbered in the quadrillions, with billions upon billions of other war machines - including Vulture Droids, Tri-Fighter, Hailfire Droids, and other forms of space- and land-based automata - augmenting that number. However, many beings openly questioned this number, since the production facilities of the Confederacy of Independent Systems seemed unable to produce droids in sufficient numbers. Other research indicated that there wasn't enough natural resource in the galaxy to support the production of such a large droid force, further putting these estimates in question.
With the end of the Clone Wars, all B1-series battle droids were issued orders to deactivate, as part of Darth Sidious' plan to consolidate military power and ensure the loyalty of his troops.

Despite his proficiency with lightsabers, Baas prefered to use a simple staff which he wielded adeptly against any lightsaber. He augmented the staff's strength through the Force. He was greatly troubled by the increase of Sith power, especially because it was his former student that was at the heart of the disturbance. He felt that he had failed, and returned to Coruscant after the capture of Ulic Qel-Droma. He hoped to sway the former Jedi back from the Dark Side, but was foiled by the appearance of Exar Kun. Kun challenged him to a duel, and Baas was brutally slain by his former student on the floor of the ancient Senate Chamber.
Thousands of years later, the first set of students at Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 claimed to have witnessed the spirit of Vodo-Siosk Baas, when they tried to drive off the spirit of Exar Kun. Kun's spirit had trapped Luke's life-energy in a place where no one could reach him, and only the combined efforts of all the Jedi students was able to defeat Kun. His strength, when combined with that of the students and Luke himself, destroyed what was left of Exar Kun and freed Luke from his control. Tionne Solusar later discovered that Master Vodo might have found a way to store his consciousness in the Tedryn Holocron.

Baath Brothers
This group of brothers controlled the Outlander Club during the last decades of the Old Republic. They were considered some of Coruscant's most dangerous - and most successful - crimelords, and built the Outlander Club from a small establishment into a thriving entertainment facility. Note that this contradicts Coruscant and the Core Worlds, which indicates that Volven Roxe owned the Outlander Club.

Baba, Ponda
This Aqualish thug was perhaps best-known as the being who assaulted Luke Skywalker in the Mos Eisley Cantina, just prior to the Battle of Yavin. Ponda Baba was a member of the lower Quara of Aqualish, having fingered hands instead of webbed ones. He was known as an average-skilled smuggler, never really gaining any notoriety. He worked for a while with the Grueshite arms dealer Jothel Merritt, until he met up with a bounty hunter named Jodo Kast on Truuzdann. There, he met Doctor Evazan, and the two of escaped the bounty hunter's notice. Once free of pursuit, Ponda Baba and Evazan continued smuggling, eventually gaining the rights to Han Solo's old smuggling routes from Jabba the Hutt. This led them to be in the cantina when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker entered. Evazan decided that Luke was easy prey, not realizing that Obi-Wan was a Jedi Knight. When Evazan got in over his head, Ponda Baba moved in to help, and had his arm severed by Kenobi's lightsaber. He and Evazan fled the cantina and Tatooine, eventually setting up residence in a rocky castle on Ando. There, Ponda Baba made a deal with Evazan: Baba would keep the Andoan authorities off their backs if Evazan promised to move Baba's mind into a non-disfigured Ando body. As Evazan neared success in his quest to transfer a mind from one body to another, he lured an Andoan senator to the castle and trapped him in the machine. He strapped Ponda Baba in and turned it on. Unfortunately for Ponda Baba, the machine worked in reverse. Instead of Ponda Baba's mind going into the senator's body, the senator's mind was placed into his. The mind of Ponda Baba ceased to exist; his body was destroyed when the senator exploded a thermal detonator in the castle. Evazan escaped, however.

Babo
This yellow-eyed Bothan Admiral served in the naval forces that defended his homeworld of Bothawui, during the years following the Swarm War. Admiral Babo was dispatched as part of The Confederation war fleet that was sent to Kashyyyk, during the Battle of Kuat, to apprehend Jacen Solo and the Galactic Alliance's Fifth Fleet. The Confederation's forces also included ships from Corellia, Commenor, and Hutt Space, and found themselves fighting alongside the Wookiees and Jedi Knights who were defending Kashyyyk.
This combined force had Solo's flagship, the Anakin Solo, and the entire Fifth Fleet outnumbered and outgunned, and would have destroyed them if Alema Rar hadn't surreptitiously arrived in the system. Drawing on the power of the Dark Side of the Force, she influenced Admiral Babo to break his formation and rush the Alliance forces. This created a huge gap in the surrounding force, giving the Fifth Fleet a chance to escape.
Upon being questioned in the wake of the battle, Admiral Babo explained that he was acting to call the bluff of Solo and Admiral Atoko, who had tried to rush the line. His explanation was accepted at face value, but many worried that they had let a chance to end the greater war slip away. He then brooched the subject of the status of the Wookiees and the Jedi Order, and eventually agreed that all sides would remain unallied and neutral in the coming war against the Galactic Alliance. Admiral Babo did not rule out the possibility of certain "extralegal" Bothan actions against Jacen Solo, and received tacit agreement from the Jedi for any action the Bothans chose to take.
(LF6)
Bab-Prime
This was the name given to the droid communications language that was developed by Yperio Baobab, some 200 years before the Galactic Civil War, as the primary language of the Yperio Program. In the following decades, the Yperio Program was adapted to have an "essense of personality," resulting in further development of the Bab-Prime language. The second-generation of this droid communications language became known as Bab-Neo, or just Babno.

(BTS)
Bacara
This was one of the many clone commanders who served the Grand Army of the Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Bacara was unusual in that he found it difficult to speak to his fellow clones in the Mando'a language, a result of his training under Cort Davin. Thus, Bacara's speech was peppered with the dialect of Concord Dawn, which tended to isolate him from other clones. Nevertheless, he was an outspoken and independent individual. These traits led to Bacara becoming one of the first clone troopers to be trained by Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi, and he later became the leader of the 21st Nova Corps and the Galactic Marines. As such, Bacara participated in the Battle of New Bornalex, testing out a new trooper suit that ultimately failed during battle. Bacara and his troopers used sheer muscle power to defeat their Separatist foes, earning the Marines a ferocious reputation. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Bacara - officially known as Commander 1138 - was dispatched to Mygeeto, where he served under Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi. However, when Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, he sent out communications to the various clone commanders to execute Order 66. Upon hearing the order, Bacara ordered his troops to open fire on Ki-Adi-Mundi, utterly destroying the defenseless Jedi Master. Bacara later revealed that he had hestiated upon receiving the command to carry out Order 66, but only because he was so devastated by the depths of the Jedi Order's betrayal of the galaxy.

bacca
This Shyriiwook word was used as the suffix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "ally" or "friend". It could be attached to a prefix by itself, or combined with other suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name.
(GMR10, GCG)
Bacca
This ancient Wookiee was hunting in the Shadowlands of his homeworld of Kashyyyk, many millennia before the Battle of Yavin, when an alien starship crashlanded in the jungle. Although the crew was killed, Bacca recognized that their technology was still capable of causing great damage to the forest and his people. He took debris from the downed starship and fashioned a great sword, that later became known as Bacca's Ceremonial Blade, as a reminder to his people and future generations that trust must be given cautiously, and only to those who have earned it.
(KOTOR)
Bacca's Ceremonial Blade
This unique Wookiee weapon was wielded by Zaalbar, during the Great Sith War. It wasfirst created by Bacca, from the debris of the first non-Wookiee starship to ever visit Kashyyyk. The blade passed from generation to generation as a reminder that trust should be given cautiously, until it was believed to have been broken by the Wookiee chieftain Rothrrrawr many years before the Great Sith War. The event occurred when Rothrrawr underestimated a beast in the Shadowlands and lost the blade in the beast's hide. The hilt was then kept as a symbol of leadership, passed from chieftain to chieftain until the blade was found by Zaalbar. Zaalbar then reassembled the entire blade, restoring the Ceremonial Sword to its former state.
(SWDB, KOTOR)
Bachani
This rare plant produced leaves that could be used for a variety of applications. However, there were only a few known specimens alive in the galaxy, in the wake of the Great Sith War. One specimen grew in the Ithorian Vivarium on Citadel Station, in orbit around Telos.

Baco, Parella Jiramma
This Hutt crimelord was one of Popara's biggest rivals during the last decades of the Old Republic. After the institution of the New Order, Parella became something of a business partner with Popara, working from his base on Nar Shaddaa when business required them to work together. Known as a shrewish individual with a nasty streak, Parella was an athletic Hutt who preferred to hunt whirlbats on Nal Hutta instead of lounging in the leisure of ill-gotten gains. However, Parella recognized that an alliance with the Anjiliac clan would be beneficial to his own endeavors. However, instead of currying favor from Popara, Parella focused his efforts on creating an alliance with Mika, Popara's youngest offspring. When Popara was murdered and Mika fled Anjiliac Towers, Parella decided to rethink his strategy, and chose to endear himself to Zonnos by hunting down Popara's killer. Parella was known as The Hunter for good reason: he was one of the few Hutts who actually left his lair to hunt down his prey, which was often the beings who had tried to swindle him. Using modified training remotes, Parella would locate his quarry. Then, wearing a full-body suit of Hutt battle armor, Parella would confront his opponents and challenges them to combat. The Hutt battle armor was as much for protection as for diversion, since many beings failed to anticipate Parella's speed while wearing the heavy armor. Tiny microrepulsors in the armor made it lighter and more manevuerable, allowing Parella to attack with vigor and force.

From this remote base, the BSDF launched several actions against Moff Ramier, which attracted the attention of the Alliance. After the Alliance made contact with him, Reskan turned over the BSDF to the Alliance, a move which the entire force had agreed to.
(FBS, SWJ7)
Bacta
A rejuvenatory fluid that circulates healing bacteria around a wound to speed recovery, bacta was originally created by the Vratix. The fluid contained living organisms that help speed a patient's recovery by latching onto a wound and aiding in the regeneration process. It was first created by the Vratix, on Thyferra, by combining the chemical kavam with the organic lotion alazhi. The small human population on Thyferra was placed in charge of two corporations, Zaltin and Xucphra, and their small human management teams controlled huge populations of Vratix laborers. When Palpatine became Emperor, he decreed that the two corporations would be the sole providers of bacta for the galaxy, giving them a monopoly on its production but indebting them both to the Empire. Because of the monopoly and the prices they could charge, the corporations created an export-quality bacta and a Thyferran version. The Thyferran version was much more potent than its export version, which had lesser healing properties to drive up the demand. During the early years of the New Republic, Ysanne Isard tried to cripple the Republic by restricting the availability of bacta in two ways: first, she let loose the Krytos virus on Coruscant; second, she took control of the planet Thyferra. The Republic began taking great strides to preserve its supply of bacta, including reclaiming any unused bacta from patients who were immersed in a bacta tank. This practice continued for another 15 to 20 years until bacta production could be fully re-established under New Republic auspices. There was a rumor of a band of renegade Twi'lek pirates who would immerse their captives in bacta during interrogation sessions. They would then run electricity through the bacta, torturing their victims to the point of death, and then remove the electricity. They would allow the bacta to heal the victim, then start the electricity again.
(E5, SWJ3, XWN, SOP, BW)
Bacta Bomb
This was a form of "explosive" that was used to disperse a large amount of bacta over a wide area. While somewhat inexact in its dispersal, a bacta bomb was effective in coating a large number of beings with the healing fluid. Unlike other explosive devices, bacta bombs were used as a kind of "friendly fire," since they were launched into the midst of one's own army.
(SWGAL)
Bacta Bypass
Another name for the Shapani Bypass.
(PGT)
Bacta Cartel
This was the name first used to describe the monopoly held by the Xucphra and Zaltin corporations on Thyferra, during the height of the New Order. When Ysanne Isard took control of Thyferra and placed the Xucphra faction in charge, the Bacta Cartel became a one-corporation operation with Imperial backing.

Bacta Grenade
This was a smaller version of a bacta bomb, used to disperse a small amount of bacta and cover a closely-grouped team of beings. Unlike other forms of grenades, bacta grenades were used as "friendly fire," launched by medics into remote sections of a battlefield to help revive one's comrades during combat.

Bacta Numb
This form of bacta was used to numb a wounded area, as well as to begin the healing process. Bacta numb was effective in deadening the pain of minor injuries.
(SBS)
Bacta Parlor
During the second decade of the New Republic, especially in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, bacta parlors sprang up on a multitude of worlds. Each parlor provided patrons with the ability to obtain a quick bacta treatment, without having to register with a hospital or other medical facility. This allowed refugees and independent spacers to continue to travel away from the warzones, while still being able to receive treatment for their injuries.

Bacta Planet
This was another name for the planet Thyferra, in reference to its monopolistic production of bacta.
(NECH)
Bacta Pump
This medical device was commonly found in the medical stations of larger starships. In situations where a being was badly injured but could not be placed in a bacta tank, a bacta pump could be used to inject and steady flow of bacta into the being's bloodstream, thereby facilitating the healing process. As bacta was flushed out of the being's system, it was filtered and then recirculated, providing clean bacta for the pumpto inject.
(DBRT)
Bacta Purge
A medical procedure in which a person's entire body was flooded with bacta internally. While a bacta tank allows external access to the bacta agents, a bacta purge givens them direct access to lungs and other vital organs. It was a last-resort treatment, since it can do more harm than good if improperly administered.

Bacta Team
This was the name given to one of the teams of clone troopers and Old Republic Intelligence officers who led the search for Darth Sidious on Coruscant, during the final days of the Clone Wars. Bacta Team was led by Jedi Master Shaak Ti, and was supported by Aurek Team during the search.
(LEV)
Bacta Tray
This repulsor-equipped rectangular box was filled with a thin layer of bacta. The bacta level inside the tray was maintained by a low-level tractor beam generator, preventing spillage. A wounded being could be transported in the tray to a proper medial facility, all the time receiving healing benefits from the bacta. This device, developed during the Galactic Civil War, allowed field medics to save more lives by getting them into bacta as soon as possible.
(LOE)
Bacta War
This was the name given to the events leading up to, and including, the Battle of Thyferra. It was during this time that the fledgling New Republic realized that the galaxy needed a steady supply of bacta in order to operate, until a truce could be reached with the Imperial remnants. Historians trace the start of the Bacta War to the point at which Rogue Squadron resigned its commission from the New Republic, following the liberation of Coruscant from Ysanne Isard. The Rogues then began to raid bacta shipments and production facilities, stealing the rejuvenating fluid for use on Coruscant and other credit-poor worlds which required it. Isard retailiated by destroying worlds that accepted the bacta, then murdering the Vratix workers who created it. As the Rogues struck from their base on a space station in orbit around Yag'Dhul, Isard took more losses. The stakes were raised when Isard learned that the Rogues passed through the Alderaan system, ostensibly to through off pursuit, but actually to meet with Talon Kaarde. Isard then leased the Aggregator in hopes of catching them. This tactic resulted in the loss of the Corrupter, and the Aggregator was badly damaged, as the Rogues proved to be more than a match for her tactics. The battle was influenced on both sides by the information of Melina Carniss, who had been acting as a double agent under Talon Kaarde. The Rogues took the next step, persuading Captain Sair Yonka to defect and bring the Avarice into the New Republic's fleet. Isard retaliated, and sent the Lusankya and the Virulence to destroy the Rogues' base at Yag'Dhul. Once again, the Rogues had enough warning to prepare a defense, and Booster Terrik's planning paid off. False weapons placements throughout the Rogues' location led the Lusankya to believe she was under attack from an immense force, and she fled when the Virulence interposed itself between the station and the Super-class Star Destroyer. The Virulence was captured by Terrik, renamed the Freedom, and turned over to Yonka to command at the Battle of Thyferra. That battle marked the end of the Bacta War.

Badure, Alexsandr
An old acquaintence of Han Solo, Badure was a veteran of the Old Republic's military, having served in the Twi'lek Spice Conflict, the Corellian Territories Engagements, and the Outer RIm Wars. After retirement, Badure went to work as a mechanic at the Imperial Academy, and it was here that he met Han Solo, who was training as a cadet. After leaving Imperial service, Badure worked on and off with Han and Chewie, and even saved them during the blown Kessel run that got them into trouble with Jabba the Hutt. Chewie carried a life-debt to Badure from that point on, which was repaid years later on the snowy slopes of Dellalt.
In the interim, Badure found himself down on his luck, and was forced to do contract work in the mines of Dellalt, where he met Lanni and Hasti Troujow. He was reunited with Han and Chewbacca on Rudrig about two years before the Battle of Yavin, where Badure and Hasti Troujow were trying to begin their search for the Queen of Ranroon. He asked Han for transport, but Han initially refused, claiming that he was finally solvent and didn't want to risk losing any more credits. Badure eventually decided to tell Han about his knowledge of the Queen of Ranroon, and Han agreed to help him find the ship, for a share of the spoils.
They managed to return to Dellalt, but were apprehended by J'uoch's thugs and forced to walk to the ship on foot. Once they learned that the cargo hidden within the Queen of Ranroon had been hidden in the vaults of the Dellaltian Bank and Currency Exchange, they were dismayed to find that the "treasure" was little more than raw materials that Xim had planned to stockpile for his war effort. However, Badure was more than happy to accept a job as a transport agent for Skynx and his university.
The dating of Han Solo's involvement in locating the Queen of Ranroon is implied in an article on New Year Fete Week in the Star Wars Adventure Journal, issue 5.

Baffle
This BFL-series labor droid greeted Han Solo and Droma, after they landed on Ruan in search of Droma's family. Han believed that the droid was Bollux, but Baffle claimed no knowledge of the Corporate Sector or Doc Vandangante. Programmed for serving as a driver, Baffle could operate virtually any repulsor-equipped vehicle. In reality, Baffle had been working with black-market programming to overthrown the Salliche Ag Corporation, which had been scrapping droids in favor of organic laborers in an effort to develop products which were better suited to the Yuuzhan Vong ecology. With the help of Han and Droma, Baffle was able to override the control signals which were keeping the droids immobile. The droids rose up against their Salliche Ag oppressors and managed to unseat them. Baffle later helped Han and Droma escape Ruan by hiding them in an automated scout collector, which the droid piloted to the spaceport. It was later revealed that the droids on Ruan had a full mythology based around "the long-awaited one, only flesh and blood who would be able to help them." C-3PO discerned that Han Solo had become this being. Note that The New Essential Guide to Droids indicates that Baffle was a BLX General Labor Droid.

Bafforr
This species of semi-intelligent tree was native to Ithor, and was worshipped by the Ithorians. Like a hive mind, the more trees there were in a given area, the more intelligent they became as they intertwined their roots and began to commune. When seven or more trees grew together, the Bafforr achieved a level of sentience. The bark of the Bafforr was smooth and glasslike, and its blue coloration was radiant and luminous, giving the bafforr tree a crystalline appearance. The bark coloration of saplings was a deeper blue than the older trees. The Empire tried to uproot and replant Bafforr trees during the height of the New Order, in an effort to learn from their experiences. This plan met with failure, however, because the uprooted trees lost their communal sentience, and were utterly silent when observed in other locations. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Corran Horn and Jacen Solo discovered that the pollen of the baffor tree was deadly to the vondunu crab armor worn by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. They were able to defeat the Vong in a single battle before the effects were learned by the Vong commanders. In retaliation for this usage of bafforr pollen, Deign Lian ordered the destruction of Ithor. All life on the planet, including every bafforr tree, was killed in the attack. The New Republic, however, had taken steps to ensure the survival of the bafforr, and took cuttings and young plants to several worlds, such as Borleais, in an effort to save the tree from extinction.

Bafor
This elderly man was the leader of a tribe of Wind Raiders, during the era of the Clone Wars. When Nardek disputed Jeru's claim to control over Ahsoka Tano, Bafor ruled that the two young men would have fight each other for control. This angered Ahsoka, who claimed that she was a Jedi, and not a piece of property. Bafor had no knowledge of the Jedi, and believed her to be from a rival tribe. In order to stisfy her, Bafor altered his declaration, stating that Nardek, Jeru, and Ahsoka would all fight each other. If Ahsoka won, she would gain her freedom. If either of the Wind Raiders won, she would become their property. Although Nardek was a stronger fighter, Ahsoka had her control of the Force, which allowed her to defeat him. Bafor declared that Ahsoka was free to go, since she won the fight without the use of weapons. When she tried to explain that Separatist forces were attempting to take control of Taloraan, Bafor chose to ignore her, although Jeru confirmed her words when he told of a strange ship hiding in the clouds. Bafor still refused to act, stating that the Wind Raiders would harrass the Separatists the same way they harrassed the Denfrandi. Ahsoka then offered Bafor a deal. In exchange for the Wind Raiders' help in defeating the Separatists, Ahsoka would work with the Denfrandi to provide food and supplies. She also promised those warriors who agreed to help her that they would get a good fight. Bafor agreed to this deal, and allowed his warriors to accompany Ahsoka back to Taloraan City, where they were a key part of the Republic's success against the Separatists. When the battle was over and Ahsoka kept her end of the bargain, Bafor made her an honorary Wind Raider.

Baftu
This Phindian male was the leader of the Syndicat, which maintained control of the planet Phindar some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. He secretly made a deal with Prince Beju of Gala, offering to provide bacta to the Prince so that he could pretend to save his planet from a false bacta shortage and gain the votes necessary to become the leader of Gala. Baftu, in return for the bacta and other funding, would then get a foothold on the planet Gala, and would be able to take control of the world for the Syndicat, with Beju as his figurehead leader. However, Baftu's plans were thwarted by several schemes, including Obi-Wan Kenobi's impersonation of Prince Beju and Qui-Gon Jinn's efforts to return the Syndicat's stolen treasury to the Phindians. He worried about Terra's concern over his dealings with Beju,and when they discovered the empty treasury, Baftu accused Terra of stealing it herself. She was killed by the Syndicat's assassin droids. Baftu himself was later captured by the Phindian resistance, led by Guerra Derida, and tried to his crimes.

Soergg didn't want the Jedi killed, merely delayed until the vote to secede from the Old Republic had been finalized. The Qulun managed to intercept the Jedi - Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luminara Unduli, as well as the Padawans Anakin Skywalker and Barriss Offee - shortly after they met with the Yima clan. Baiuntu and Qulun appeared friendly at first, but quickly incapacitated the Jedi and their Alwari companions, Kyakhta and Bulgan. The Qulun were unable to capture Tooqui, however, and the Gwurran managed to find a way to rescue his friends. Using a stampeding herd of lorqual, Tooqui destroyed the Qulun caravan and rescued them.

Baktoid Armor Workshop
This Neimoidian manufacturer produced many designs of automated and droid-controlled warships for the Trade Federation's fleet. Among the designs Baktoid created were the MTT transport and AAT battle tank. Their work was characterized by bulbous, rounded lines complimenting basic utilitarian designs. The primary headquarters for Baktoid were located on the planet Metalorn, with manufacturing sites scattered across the galaxy. In the wake of the Battle of Naboo, however, the Trade Federation was forced to scale down its operations. Within months, several facilities were eliminated, but many other sites continued to produce combat automata. Many of these sites, including facilities on Foundry, Ord Lithone, Ord Cestus, Telti, and Balmorra, were shut down shortly before the Clone Wars, as a result of the tariffs imposed by the Old Republic on the Federation's battle droids. In the aftermath of these actions, Baktoid itself was dissolved, and most of its designs as assets were sold off to various supporters of the Confederacy of Independent States. Note that The Cestus Deception indicates that the homeworld of Baktoid Armor was actually Ord Cestus. Also note that Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith - The Visual Dictionary indicates that BAW remained active throughout the Clone Wars, producing Vulture Droids and other comabt automata.

Baktoid Combat Automata
A subsidiary of the Baktoid Armor Workshop, this facility produced battle droids for the Trade Federation. Unlike its larger sibling, BCA was a totally secret operation that was operated to ensure the Federation's huge battle droid armies could be produced during the months leading up to the invasion of Naboo. After the Baktoid Armor Workshop was shut down, Baktoid Combat Automata remained hidden from the eyes of the Old Republic, and churned out the battle droids used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. When the Clone Wars ended, Baktoid Combat Automata was dismantled by the Empire, although many of its workers managed to flee into the far reaches of the galaxy. Some of these beings took their research with them, and formed Baktoid Industrial Systems several decades after the Alliance-Confederation War.
(IG1, NEGW, WOTC)
Baktoid Fleet Ordnance
This division of Baktoid Combat Automata was charged with the production of large, droid-equipped warships for the navy of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the height of the Clone Wars. The primary contribution of Baktoid Fleet Ordnance was the Heavy Missile Platform (HMP) droid gunship.
(VD3, X3)
Baktoid Industrial Systems
This combat droid developer was formed when the leaders of Baktoid Industries were joined by designers and researchers from Baktoid Combat Automata, several decades after the end of the Galactic Civil War. Drawing on the expertise of the beings who created battel droids for the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, Baktoid Industrial Systems was able to produce combat droids for a galaxy that believed it needed protection, in the wake of he Alliance-Confederation War. The quality and lower price of BIS droids made other manufacturers both angry and jealous, and there were several incidents of industrial sabotage that forced BIS to begin protecting its investments. Several lines of combat droids were produced specifically to defend its manufacturing centers, including the LV8-series guard droid.
(WOTC)
Baktoid Industries
This was the holding corporation that oversaw the efforts of the Baktoid Armor Workshop, Baktoid Combat Automata, and Baktoid Fleet Ordnance, during the height of the Clone Wars. Like other corporations that supported the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Baktoid Industries was forced to keep a low profile during the years that followed the Clone Wars. The combined resources of Baktoid Industries were nearly wiped out during the era of the New Order, and were all but forgotten until the galaxy was nearly shattered by the Alliance-Confederation War. In the years that followed, Baktoid Industries saw that there was a growing need for military supplies and defensive droids, and made a push to revive its operations. Drawing on the expertise of former employees of Baktoid Combat Automata, this new corporation became known as Baktoid Industrial Systems.

Bakur Complex
This series of buildings and parks was used for housing, offices, and medical facilities in Salis D'aar.

Bakura
This planet was settled some 153 years before the Battle of Endor, with a second wave of colonization near the end of the Clone Wars. This second wave was attributed to the fact that Count Dooku used Bakura as a base of operations, some seventeen months after the Battle of Geonosis. Note that Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Wild Space indicates that there was a Clone Wars-era battle at Bakura within the first few months after the Battle of Geonosis. Initial settlements were established by the Bakur Corporation, and Bakura was ruled by a Prime Minister and Senate. It was re-discovered by the Empire's Imperial Study Survey 60774 and placed under Imperial control about three years before the Battle of Endor. The planet was known for its exports of repulsorlift parts, fruit candy, and liqueur. Bakura was located on the edge of the Rim worlds, the third in a system of eight planets. It was a lush, forested world not unlike Endor, with two moons. Both moons had been heavily mined for materials used in the construction of the second Death Star. Because of its location on the opposite side of the galaxy from the Corporate Sector, shipments between Bakura and the Corporate Sector were routed through Bothan space to avoid the dense gravity mass of the Core Worlds. During the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Bakuran people were fooled into allowing the Keeramak to consecrate their planet for the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement. In reality, the Keeramak consecrated the planet - known now as Xwhee - to the Ssi-ruuk, as part of an elaborate plot hatched by the Yuuzhan Vong. The consecration of Bakura as Xwhee meant that the Ssi-ruuk could attack the planet without the fear of dying on a pagan world.

Bakura Incident
This became the historical term used to describe the events which occurred on the planet Bakura, from the point when the Ssi-ruu invaded the planet just prior to the Battle of Endor and culminating with the Battle of Bakura. Many New Republic historians, including Voren Na'al, felt that public knowledge of the Bakura Incident would undermine the efforts of the fledgling Republic to lead the galaxy. Na'al was worried that the existence of a relatively unknown species, which had the ability to nearly defeat a Jedi Knight and entech humans, would cause a widespread panic in the galaxy.

Bakura-class Destroyer
This warship was developed by the Bakurans in the years after their liberation from the Ssi-ruuvi invasion force. At 850 meters in length, they were formidable ships. They required 8,250 crewmen and 275 gunners, and could transport up to 2,000 troops and 36,000 metric tons of cargo. The Bakura-class destroyer was armed with 60 turbolaser batteries, 60 ion cannons, and 10 tractor beam projectors. They were also equipped with a hyperwave inertial momentum sustainer (HIMS) system. The power plant of this design was based on the Imperial-II class Star Destroyer, but the exterior was much more fluid in shape than the angular Imperial warship.

Bakuran Defense Fleet
This small fleet was built by the Bakuran people shortly after the Battle of Bakura, to defend the Bakura system against a subsequent invasion. Its backbone consisted of four capital ships - the Intruder, Watchkeeper, Sentinel, and Defender. When the New Republic requested assistance in breaking the Sacorrian Triad's interdiction field surrounding the Corellian System, Admiral Hortel Ossilege sent all four capital ships to the Republic' aid. After the decisive battle against the Sacorrian Triad, only the Sentinel and the Defender survived to return to their postings as part of Bakura's defense.

Balahteez
This Pho Ph'eahian spice smuggler was among the many criminals who were captured by the Empire and incarcerated in the Slashtown prison colony on Despayre, during the early years of the New Order. He had been trying to run a cargo of carbonite-encased spice near Gall, but was intercepted by an Imperial customs patrol. He jettisoned the cargo in an attempt to escape, and the carbonite block struck a TIE Fighter hangar on the moon's surface. Some fifty pilots and mechanics were killed in the explosion, and another forty or more were killed when the hangar vented its atmosphere and were suffocated. The smuggling charge alone might not have warranted being sent to Despayre, but the combination of unfortunate events led to Balahteez being sent to the maximum-security prison.
It was Balahteez who provided Celot Ratua Dil with information on the joint efforts of the EngSat Complex and Dybersyne Engineering Systems to develop the massive focusing array that was to be installed on the first Death Star.

It was distinguished from the common thranta in several ways, chiefly the balana's larger body and brown coloration. The wings of the balana had a hooked shape near the forward tips, giving the appearance of "hands." The characteristic rudder-like tail was also slightly different, with the horizontal lobes being much longer than the vertical lobes. Like other thranta species, the balana could be trained to act as a transport beast, and it would allow an open-air seating raft to be strapped to its back.

Balance, The
This was the term adopted by Luke Skywalker and the new Jedi order to describe the new view of the Force that was embraced after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Balance simply indicated that all aspects of the Force were in balance with each other. Master Skywalker taught his new Jedi to embace the Force as a single power, forgoing the concepts of a Light Side and a Dark Side. Thus, the actions of the new Jedi order were guided simply by the will of the Force. The Jedi were charged with taking any action that the Force deemed necessary to maintain the Balance, even if it seemed to draw on the Dark Side of the Force.
Alema Rar later twisted the knowledge of the Balance, using it to fuel her desire to live and exact revenge on Leia Organa Solo and her family. In Alema's mind, the Balance had been upset when she nearly died on Tenupe. In order to restore Balance, she had to harm Leia and take away those things that were most precious to her.

Yuuzhan Vong who joined the sect worshipped the sibling deities Yun-Q'aah and Yun-Txiin, who represented love and hate and all things opposite in the universe. However, the two deities were equal and opposite parts of a whole, and it was this whole that was represented by The Balance. The continual attempt of the universe to achieve The Balance was known as the Great Dance.

Balancesheet
One of the most able subnodes generated by the assembler Kud'ar Mub'at, Balancesheet was in charge of monitoring and tracking the assembler's vast accumulation of credits. As it matured, Balancesheet became more and more aware of its creator's schemes, and also grew to understand its own existence. It kept much of its intelligence hidden, but showed enough to gain Mub'at's trust. During negotiations with two parties, Mub'at would sometime allow Balancesheet to pretend to be Mub'at himself. Balancesheet would crawl into one of the carapaces Mub'at had shed, and act as if it were Mub'at itself. This worked particularly well, since Balancesheet could mimic Kud'ar Mubat's voice and speech patterns with ease. While remaining outwardly loyal to Mub'at, Balancesheet secretly developed an intelligence on par with its creator. After the destruction of the Bounty Hunters Guild, Balancesheet discovered how to disconnect itself from Mub'at's web without dying, and without alerting its creator. This allowed Balancesheet to begin its own rise to power, which started with an alliance with Prince Xizor. The Falleen saw great opportunity if he could eliminate Mub'at and have a level of control over Balancesheet, although the subnode believed it controlled its own destiny. In a daring move, Balancesheet allowed Xizor's forces to infiltrate Kud'ar Mub'at's web. After announcing its independence, Balancesheet ordered the destruction of the old web while it set about killing its creator. Xizor himself them provided a bulk transport ship for Balancesheet to use as a base of operations, and would have destroyed Fett if Balancesheet hadn not explained the hunter's continued usefulness. Balancesheet then stiffed Boba Fett of fifty percent of the bounty for Voss'on't, as "paymeny" for his life. Years later, Balancesheet learned of the connections between its creator, Prince Xizor, and Kuat of Kuat, and actually offered to help Boba Fett and Neelah put the pieces together.

Balawai
This was the Korunnai name for the Downfolk, those off-worlders and settlers who lived on the lowlands of the planet Haruun Kal. There was a somewhat contempuous connotation to the name, since these beings were quite often caught in the Thakiz Baw'kal, or Downstorm, which scoured the lowlands of Haruun Kal with toxic gases each winter. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, the Balawai and the Korunnai were locked in a vicious civil war that was known as the Summertime War. The native Korunnai had been displaced by the Balawai offworlders, and fought to maintain their independence. Both sides of the conflict were brutal to their opponents, with a certain amount of "recreational torture" occurring to prisoners before they were executed. When the Separatists took control of the Gevarno Cluster in the months following the Battle of Geonosis, the Balawai agreed to support the Confederacy of Independent Systems in exchange for their own sovereignity. The Balawai hoped that the backing of the Separatists would help them win the Summertime War and eliminate the Korunnai opposition.

Bal'demnic
This planet was the primary world in the Bak'rofsen System of the Auril Sector, and was located in the Outer Rim Territories. A tropical world of small chains of islands dominated by rugged coastlines, Bal'demnic was the homeworld of the Kon'me race. The planet remained outside the world of galactic politics for many generations, until the Confederacy of Independent Systems discovered veins of cortosis ore in the coastal cliffs. Mining operations were quickly established on many islands, with or without the permission of the local Kon'me. The government of the planet was forced to agree with the mining, or be destroyed, leaving the citizens without recourse. This led to a heated battle during the Clone Wars, when a group od Jedi Knights led by Halagad Ventor discovered the Separatist occupation. Despite the fact that the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic were sent to augment the Kon'me armies in an effort to overthrow the Separatists and free the planet once more, the Kon'me hated the clones almost as much as the Separatists. They opened fire on both armies, and eventually succeeded in driving both the Old Republic and the Separatists from their planet. The Republic left a small fleet in orbit around Bal'demnic, to prevent further trouble from the Separatists.

Balinquar's Virus
This was the name of the made-up disease that Lord Arkoh Adasca claimed The Camper was suffering from, When Jarael brought the elderly Arkanian Offshoot to the Arkanian Legacy, some 3,963 years before the Galactic Civil War. According to Lord Adasca, Balinquar's Virus usually only affected the males of the Arkanian Offshoot population, and baseline Arkanian Purebloods were immune to its effects. It would lay dormant in the Offshoot's body for years, until an individual reached an advanced age. Then, the disease took over, triggering progressively worse symptoms and growing paranoia until the infected individual could no longer function.
The Mandalorian soldier Rohlan Dyre, who had been accompanying The Camper and Jarael on their travels, learned from the databanks of the Arkanian Legacy that there was no such thing as Balinquar's Virus, and that Adasca had been using it as a ruse to keep Jarael and The Camper aboard the ship. Lord Adasca was impressed Rohlan's ability to discern the truth, and admitted the truth of the matter.

Realizing that they would all never make it back, Bendodi turned his oxygen pack over to Tee-ubo Doole and fled to die. When Luther De'Ono tried to follow him, he shot Luther before turning the blaster on himself.

Balmorra
This planet, which was controlled by the Empire during the era of the Galactic Civil War, was responsible for the manufacture of many of the Empire's most destructive weapons, including the AT-ST and many of the Emperor's war droids. Located between Kuat and Neimoidia, Balmorra was first settled shortly after the formation of the Galactic Republic, and these original settlers soon established the planet as a manufacturing center. The chief industry quickly became the development and production of military technology, and Balmorra was one of the original bases of operations for the Colicoids. For millennia, Balmorra became a focal point for military conflict in the galaxy, as the Old Republic struggled to protect it from the Sith and other enemies. It wasn't until the Great Hyperspace War that the Sith were able to gain a standing presence on Balmorra, and the planet was fully ceded to the Sith after the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant. Although the Republic managed to maintain a small rebel force on Balmorra, the native Balmorrans knew that the Republic had all but abandoned them, and did little to hide their resentment. Thus, millennia later, Balmorra was one of the many worlds to secede from the Old Republic when Count Dooku established the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
After the Battle of Endor, Balmorra was attacked by the group of Dark Jedi who tried to re-establish the Empire after the reborn Empire's death, but the Balmorrans repelled the Empire using the weapons they had built. The planet then grudgingly pledged its loyalty to the New Republic, initiating trade with the government. When Sedriss rose to power, he forced the Balmorrans into an uneasy arms alliance following a battle between the various war machines produced on the planet. This only served to push the Balmorrans into the Galactic Alliance when Sedriss and the reincarnated Emperor Palpatine were finally defeated. Balmorra became an important part of the Galactic Alliance, and was defended during the war against The Confederation by the Fourth Fleet. However, the combine might of the opposing Huttese forces was too great for the Fourth Fleet, and Balmorra fell to The Confederation. According to the Rebellion computer game, Balmorra is located in Sesswenna Sector.

Balmorra Invitational
This was one of the most celebrated swoop racing events of the Old Republic. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, Tobb Jadak was heavily favored to win this race, but somehow managed to lose it. Rumors of Jadak purposely losing were later turned into fact when it was revealed that the Rigorra/Groodo Family had been in collusion on a points-shaving scheme. Jadak might have survived the media's scorn because he had been forced into losing, but it was later revealed that he had bet heavily on himself to lose. Jadak was forced to retire from swoop racing in shame and disgrace.

Balmorra Run
This hyperspace travel route connected the planet Balmorra with other worlds, including Naboo. It passed through the Kaliida Nebula near Naboo, and this section of the hyperspace route was known as a breeding ground for the Nebray manta.

Balo
This mushroom was native to the planet Balosar, where it was cultivated by the Balosar race. However, balo mushrooms were not harvested as foodstuffs. Instead, they were distilled into a narcotic known as Ixetal cilona, which was the primary component in the production of death sticks. Balo mushrooms were grown in underground caves, as much to maintain a stable environment as to avoid the pollution that covered the planet's surface. Unfortunately for the Balosar race, the pollution finally leeched its way into the caves, and entire balo mushroom crops were lost during the early years of the New Republic.

Balog
This man served as the Chief Security Controller of the city of New Apsolon, on the planet of the same name, nine years before the Battle of Naboo. A member of the Worker faction, Balog was given his position by Roan, after Roan was elected to rule the planet after Ewane stepped down. He greeted Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi when they arrived on New Apsolon, in search of Tahl. Later, in the wake of the kidnapping of Eritha and Alani and the death of Roan, Balog was implicated as the primary suspect in both criminal activities. He escaped, with Tahl as his hostage, before Qui-Gon could confront him. Balog held Tahl prisoner, believing that she had access to a list of Absolute supporters which, if made public, would ruin his chances of taking control of New Apsolon. Balog's forces managed to wipe out a settlement of Rock Workers before being dispersed by the Jedi, who managed to free Tahl as well. Balog, however, escaped from their grasp. During his escape, he confronted Qui-Gon, who cut the fingers from Balog's hand with his lightsaber in order to obtain a detonator Balog was holding. Balog had the last laugh, though, escaping from the base and manually setting off huge amounts of explosives. The Jedi managed to flee, but Balog remained free. It was later discovered that Balog had been trying to obtain a list of Absolute supporters, in order to blackmail certain individuals and discredit others. He obtained the list when he found that Irini had stolen it from Legislator Pleni, and so he tracked her down and shot her. He took the list from her and left her to die. Balog was later captured by the Jedi, hiding in the Museum of the Absolutes while trying to decipher the list. He was arrested, along with Eritha and Alani, and their bid for power was thwarted.

Baloo
This vines grows among the waza trees on the planet Dar'Or. Several thousand years before the advent of the New Order, the Ri'Dar race strung nets of baloo vines between waza trees to develop small towns within the trees. The nets collected leaves and needles falling from the waza trees, over time collecting into thick mats of decomposing matter. The layers of humus were used by the Ri'Dar to plant gardens in their aerial towns.

Balosar
This race of near-humans was native to the planet Balosar, and was noted for the retractable antenepalps atop their heads. The Balosar were generally regarded as shifty cheaters and scoundrels by other races, a trait that stemmed from the fact that their homeworld was the primary source of balo mushrooms, which were the primary component in the creation of death sticks. As a people, the Balosar seemed to be content to allow their homeworld to be overrun by offworld corporations and criminal syndicates, taking bribes and other payments in return for land grants or other rights. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, the lowest classes of Balosar were paid poorly for their work in sweatshops and factories, despite the best efforts of the Old Republic. The Balosar race was also known for its resistance to toxins, which was little more than an evolutionary reaction to the heavy pollution that blanketed Balosar's surface.

Balosar
This planet, located in the Core Worlds, was the homeworld of the Balosar race. Much of the planet's commerce was split between poorly regulated factories and criminal activities, and tourism was strongly discouraged. Balosar was also the galaxy's sole source of balo mushrooms, although the production of these mushrooms was severely curtailed when over-pollution of the planet caused the soil to become toxic. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Balosar escaped without major damage, as the alien invaders were focused on cutting their way to Coruscant.

The Jedi task force which was dispatched to Baltizaar was decimated by the Bando Gora, with only a handful surviving to return to Coruscant. The rest were either killed or imprisoned. Among the survivors of the fighting was the Dark Jedi Nikkos Tyris, who retreated to Suarbi to recover.

This Chiss served as a Commander in the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet, during the height of the Swarm War. Long retired from active military duty, Commander Baltke was employed as an interrogator, and was well-verse in the use of a variety of torture and interrogation techniques. It was Baltke who was assigned to interrogate Leia Organa Solo, after she and her husband, Han, were captured near Tenupe, some five years after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Baltke, distinguished by the unusual sounds of his respiration, did his best to break Leia and make her explain her presence at Tenupe, despite the fact that a source within the Galactic Alliance had already provided all the information the Chiss needed. His primary technique invovled showing Leia a video feed of Han's own interrogation, with the threat that any stalling or misinformation would cause Han pain. Leia drew on the Force, was able to force Baltke to inject himself with a truth serum. Baltke was exceptionally strong-willed, however, and managed to shake off most of the effects of the drug. However, by that time, Leia had made contact with Saba Sebatyne, who had escaped from Chiss control and was rescuing Han. Baltke, meanwhile, played his final trump card, in revealing that his vocation as an interrogator was a secondary function of his actual position as a battlefiedl surgeon. As Leia managed to manipulate the conversation, Baltke revealed that the Chiss had discovered a chemical that could exterminate the Killiks, and that they were planning to test it on Tenupe. Shortly afterward, Han and Saba broke into the room and rescued Leia, taking Baltke prisoner before letting him go when they escaped.

This nine-year-old boy was one of Anakin Skywalker's best childhood friends. A resident of Mos Espa and a slave owned by Gardulla the Hutt, Kitster and Anakin had many adventures, when they weren't working for their masters. Kitster was good at keeping secrets, and the biggest secret of all was that he knew who his father was. Kitster was four years old when he was captured when the ship owned by his father, Rakir Banai, was boarded by pirates. Years later, Kitster continued to eke out an existence on Tatooine, eventually buying his freedom after working as a steward at the Three Moons hotel. However, even after accepting a position as majordomo at the Rendala Estate, Kitster couldn't earn enough credits to keep himself and his new wife, Ulda, out of debt. Ulda eventually left him, and Kitster later married Tamora. They had two children, but Kitster was forced to sell his souvenirs of Anakin in order to maintain his income. One of them was a holocube that attracted the attention of many podracing fans, but also Leia Organa Solo, who had come to Tatooine to acquire the moss-painting Killik Twilight. When Imperial forces tried to obtain the artwork, Kitster took matters into his own hands and stole the painting, fleeing into the desert. He was pursued by both Han Solo and the Imperials, finding a brief respite with Herat's Jawa clan before they were stopped by the Imperials. During this interruption, the Jawas' sandcrawler was attacked by Sandpeople, and Kitster was taken captive by the Tuskens. Killik Twilight was also taken, leading the Solos on a further chase. The Sandpeople planned to sacrifice him to the vengeful ghost that roamed the Valley of the Spirits, but he was rescued by the Solos. After the Shadowcast information was destroyed and Killik Twilight turned over to Grees and his companions, Kitster tried to explain to Leia why he refused to acknowledge the fact that Anakin eventually became Darth Vader. In Kitster's mind, Anakin never lost sight of the fact that he was Shmi Skywalker's son, even after he fell to the Dark Side of the Force. Kitster's words helped Leia realize that her fear of her father was grounded in a one-sided argument, and she began to see him as the child Kitster remembered.

Bandara
Known as the "sandbar dweller" in the Devaronian language, this beetle-like creature inhabited the sandbars found in the rivers of the planet Devaron. They were drift-feeders, gathering in huge swarms and resting on sandbars while feeding on the detritus that floated by. Seeing a swarm of bandaras on the river was considered good luck by Devaronian river pilots, since it warned them of shallow waters.
During the mating season, male bandaras emitted a coarse "singing" to attract potential mates, a drone which was almost intolerable to female Devaronians. During the height of the New Order, the females launched a program to wipe out the bandaras, but were unable to completely exterminate them. Male Devaronians, however, could tolerate the song of the bandaras, and were rumored to have employed smugglers and mercenaries to help save the species.
Swarms of bandaras were known to measure ten meters or more across, and individual swarms simply split into smaller swarms when thet got too big. Swarms that could not find sustenance in the rivers sometimes crawled up the banks to feed on the grasses in nearby fields and plains, often taking the crops that were grown on Devaronian farms.

This was the name of a cult of Force witches who were active during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. They once attacked the Outland Transit Station, an event which forced Dexter Jettster to sell his stock in the space station to Jango Fett. Sometime afterward, the Bando Gora attacked the planet Baltizaar, terrorizing the planet's inhabitants until the Jedi Knights were called into action. The Jedi were completely unprepared for the true nature of the Bando Gora, and many were killed in battle. Any others were captured and tortured. Only a few survived. Among them was the rogue Jedi Komari Vosa, who fell under the spell of the Dark Side of the Force during her imprisonment. She eventually used her growing powers to defeat the leaders of the Bando Gora and take control of the cult herself. Komari Vosa ran the Bando Gora from a fortress on the burial moon of Kohlma. It was during this time, shortly after the Battle of Naboo, that the Bando Gora developed a form of death stick that warped the mind of its user, creating aready supply of drugged slaves for the cult. The cult was made up of two castes of beings. The lower caste served as the cult's soldiers, although few resembled their original forms. They were drugged with the altered death sticks, then twisted to the Dark Side of the Force by Komari Vosa herself, becoming mindless drones who simply did Vosa's bidding. The higher caste was Vosa's personal guard, allowed to have more independence in order to address any cunning being who managed to break through the ranks of soldiers. The cult was smashed by Jango Fett some ten years before the Battle of Geonosis, when he was hired by Count Dooku - who used the title of Darth Tyranus - to locate Komari Vosa. Jango caught Vosa on Kohlma, and would have killed her if Tyranus hadn't stepped in. Tyranus then explained that he had trained Vosa years before, and used the Bando Gora mission as a way to test Jango's suitability to serve as the template for the clone troopers that were created for the Army of the Republic.

He aspired to be Emperor Palpatine's rght-hand man, and it irked him that he couldn't control the Force. He served faithfully, and gladly assumed control of Questal. There were several factions, all of which were fighting over claims of the mineral Ardanium. The Emperor wanted to control the mining of ardanium, in an effort to bolster the construction of Super-class Star Destroyers, and Bandor was given control of the planet. He ruled with an iron fist, and installed several of the major criminals in positions of power. At the same time, Bandor was experimenting with the potential use of hurlothrumbic generators as weapons to use against the Alliance. The generator induced fear when activated, and this was translated by the locals had Bandor's use of the Dark Side. Bandor did nothing to dispute this, as it added to his power. He was apprehended by Alliance forces on the planet Questal before he could perfect the weapon.

Bane
This was one of the most common names given to male Corellians.
(GMR9)
Bane
This was the Sith name adopted by the former miner known as Dessel, after he was chosen for training at the Sith Academy on Korriban, during the years leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. Dessel took on the name after a particularly grueling lightsaber training session with Lord Kas'im, when he found that he could draw upon his anger and use it to channel the Dark Side of the Force. He chose the name because it represented his breaking of all the chains that had once bound him, the first of which was his abusive father, Hurst.
Shortly after Kas'im's lesson, Bane killed Fohargh with the Force during a challenge. Bane suddenly came to realize that Hurst's death many years earlier had not simply been a heart attack. He had unknowingly drawn upon the Dark Side to kill his father, a realization that stunned him. He withdrew from his training, and suffered for many months, until he was soundly beaten after challenging Sirak in the lightsaber training ring. It was then that Bane met Githany, who helped restore his connection to the Force by training him herself, repeating the lessons she was learning at the Sith Academy. He also managed to convince the swordmaster, Lord Kas'im, to continue to train him in lightsaber combat, working in the wee hours of the morning before the rest of the academy was awake.
Thus, Bane's fellow students were surprised when he challenged Sirak again, although this surprise was nothing compared to their reaction when Bane defeated Sirak. Bane held the Zabrak off long enough to build up his strength in the Dark Side of the Force, then launched himself at Sirak, disarming him and injuring his sword arm and lower leg before Kas'im called an end to the fighting. Lord Kas'im, more than a little proud of his role in Bane's ascension, presented the lightsaber of Master Na'daz to Bane, signalling that the swordmaster could no longer teach him anything new. However, Bane also believed that the Lords at the Sith Academy had nothing more to teach him, and he set out to learn more in the Valley of the Dark Lords.
What he found was little more than looted tombs and dusty skeletons. However, the days of starvation and dehydration, coupled with the physical exertion of the journey, cleared Bane's mind and allowed him to see the future of the Sith with amazing clarity. He discovered that the Brotherhood of Darkness was killing the ideals of the Sith, diluting the power of the Dark Side of the Force. Upon returning to the Sith Academy, Lord Qordis proclaimed that he had passed the necessary tests to become a Dark Lord of the Sith, a title that Bane refused to accept. Instead, he adopted the title of Darth Bane, and set out to reform the Sith.

Bane, Cad
This Duros bounty hunter was active during the era of the Clone Wars. Distinguished by his wide-brimmed hat and the twin respirator tubes that were connected to his cheeks, Cad Bane spoke with an almost mechanical growl that gave him an air of command as well as danger. He lacked any political affiliation, and worked for whichever side of the battle paid the best credits. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Cad Bane hired by Darth Sidious to apprehend Jedi Master Ring-Sol Ambase, who had been dispatched to Kynachi to investigate why KynachTech Industries technology was discovered aboard the Separatist warship Malevolence. Bane posed as a simple bounty hunter who was looking for someone on Kynachi, although the clone troopers who were with Ambase's Padawan, Nuru Kungurama, questioned how he managed to get past the Separatist blockade of Kynachi. He explained that it was a trick of the trade, and was able to help Kungurama and the clones infiltrate the KynachTech factory. After collecting Master Ambase's unconscious body and hiding it aboard his ship, Cad Bane returned to Kungurama and explained that Ambase was not among the prisoners they were able to free. Bane did admit that he had located Ambase's lightsaber, and returned it to Kungurama, before setting off to deliver Ambase's body to the fifth moon of Bogden.
Cad Bane was later hired to free Ziro the Hutt from prison, after the crimelord was convicted of treason against the Galactic Republic. Bane assembled a group of hardened bounty hunters to work with him, and set out to apprehend a group of Senators to hold as hostages, in exchange for Ziro's release. The group managed to shoot their way into the Senate Rotunda and shut down all communications and security systems in the building, taking the Senators hostage. Among the Senators were Padme' Amidala and Bail Organa, and Anakin Skywalker was trapped in the building when Bane made his move. Skywalker's appearance nearly thwarted the entire mission, until Robonino managed to capture the young Jedi and bring him to the location where the Senators were being held. Cad Bane then negotiated a deal with Chancellor Palpatine, in which Orn Free Taa would carry a pardon disc to the Republic Judiciary Central Detention Center, where he would be exchanged for the crimelord. Once Ziro was freed, Senator Taa would be set free, as would the hostages. Everything went more or less according to plan, and Cad Bane was able to leave with Ziro.
After setting Ziro free, Bane then retreated into the underbelly of Coruscant, and he was eventually contacted by Darth Sidious. Sidious wanted him to infiltrate the Jedi Temple and steal a Jedi holocron, and Bane agreed to take on the mission in exchange for a huge fee. He modified his droid, Todo 360, for the mission, and called in the help of Cato Parasitti, who posed as the recently-deceased Jedi, Ord Eniscence. Although Parasitti was captured, and although Todo 360 had to be destroyed in order to cover his tracks, Bane managed to steal the appropriate holocron and escape from the Temple. He then set out to capture Jedi Master Bolla Ropal, who was in possession of the Kyber crystal, so that he could use the holocron to access the data contained in the crystal and sell it. Although he was able to capture Ropal and interrogate him aboard a Separatist frigate, the Jedi Master refused to give Bane the information he needed, and Ropal soon died from the torture he endured at Bane's hands. Bane soon found a replacement for Ropal when Anakin Skywalker and his apprentice, Ahsoka Tano, arrived to rescue Ropal. Bane was able to capture Ahsoka and force Skywalker to access the holocron. Unfortunately, Bane had set the frigate's self-destruct mechanism, and the ship began to tear itself apart. With the holocron able to access the crystal's data, Bane attempted to flee the ship, but was apprehended by clone troopers Denal and Koho. Denal forced Bane into hand-to-hand combat, and was able to draw his blaster and shoot Bane. Bane's body tumbled away, allowing the clones to escape. However, they did not recover the holocron, which was believed to have been aboard the Separatist ship when it exploded. In short order, Ahsoka discovered that Bane had actually survived, and that he had killed trooper Denal and taken his armor in order to infiltrate the Republic's forces and steal a ship. After breaking free from Ahsoka, Bane managed to get his hands on a V-19 Torrent starfighter and blasted away from the Resolute before the crew could react. Bane returned to his base on Black Stall Station, where he made contact with Darth Sidious and explained that he had managed to conceal the holocron beneath the clone armor.
Darth Sidious then hired Cad Bane for a new mission: capture four of the Jedi younglings among the many that were identified by the Kyber crystal, and bring them to a secret testing facility on Mustafar. Although he managed to capture Wee Dunn on Rodia, Cad Bane's attempt to capture Roo-Roo Page on Naboo was foreseen by the Jedi Council. Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano were sent to Naboo, and they were able to capture Bane before he could steal the toddler. Under the intense scrutiny of Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu, who were aided by Skywalker, Cad Bane was unable to maintain the mental barriers that shielded his mind, and he was forced to agree to take the Jedi to the place he had hidden the children he had captured. However, once free of their control, Cad Bane led them to his base on Black Stall Station, within the Rogue Antar System, and he was able to escape from their control in an escape pod. Unfortunately, the Jedi were able to reclaim the holocron and the Kyber crystal, as well as capture Bane's starfighter, the Xanadu Blood.

Bane, Darth
This ancient Sith Lord was the last of his kind to survive the Battle of Ruusan, a catastrophic struggle that consumed his order some 1,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. A former cortosis miner named Dessel who rose to prominence and a soldier in the ancient Sith army, Darth Bane was a tall, bald man with heavy muscles and an intimidating gaze. His connection to the Dark Side of the Force was discovered by Lord Qordis, but he never actually completed his training. Frustrated with the lack of vision in the current Sith leaders, Bane set out on his own to discover exactly what it meant to be a Sith. After adopting the title of Darth Bane, he decided that he was to be the next Dark Lord of the Sith, and set out to take control of the galaxy. He was an evil man, and gathered strength from killing young children before their parents' eyes, then murdering the parents.
During the Battle of Ruusan, Darth Bane worked behind the scenes to ensure that Lord Kaan came to the realization that he had to use a thought bomb in order to destroy the Jedi Knights arrayed before him. Kaan, however, was unaware that the resulting blast would also kill the Sith. Darth Bane managed to escape the devasation on Ruusan, but he suffered for days from irregular bursts of Force echoes that felt like knives in his brain. As the bursts continued, he also began to see images of Lord Kaan in his peripheral vision, but he dismissed these as mirages. While wandering the ruined landscape, he came upon a young girl who was quite strong in the Force. He allowed the young girl to follow him, taking her as his first apprentice. The girl, known as Rain to her friends but whose real name was Zannah, was quick to follow the path to the Dark Side of the Force.
Bane eventually uncovered Qordis' notes and collected documents, and found a brief note that indicated that the tomb of Freedon Nadd was located on Dxun. Seeing that Qordis had meant to visit the tomb himself, Bane realized that he was destined to open the tomb and take Nadd's legacy for his own. In order to move about in the galaxy at large, Darth Bane and his apprentice obscured their existence with half-truths that kept them hidden from the Jedi Order. They traveled to Onderon's moon, Dxun, where he was haunted by the specters of his former master and Lord Kaan. Both spirits led him to the tomb of Freedon Dann, where he discovered a Sith holocron. The discovery of the holocron was either a test or a trap that had been set by his former masters, for as soon as he took possession of the holocron, he was beset and infected by orbalisks. While the orbalisks drew sustenance from his connection to the Force, they augmented his own powers, allowing him to banish the spirits of Kaan and Qordis forever.
The orbalisks saved him from the attack of a skreev, while Bane's own strength in the Dark Side of the Force allowed him to control it. He later used the skreev to escape to Onderon, passing briefly through the vacuum of space to traverse the distance between the two worlds. Note that Darth Bane: Rule of Two indicates that Bane defeated and tamed a drexl. Once on Onderon, he located Zannah and they set off for Ambria, where Bane established a sort of training compound. Recognizing that the Sith order was doomed to fail because it had grown too large, Bane established a set of rules that were dominated by the pretense that there could only be two Sith active in the galaxy at any time: a Master and an apprentice. In his own words, Bane explained, "Two there should be; no more, no less. One to embody power, the other to crave it." Future Sith Lords were taught the virtues of patience, planning, and secrecy, and each was to take on the title of Darth.
In the years that followed, Bane's body was slowly covered by the orbalisks as they grew and multiplied, until only his head, feet, and hands were visible. He continued to train Zannah, sending her away on missions to gather information and to foment unrest in the galaxy. Meanwhile, Bane himself struggled to create his own holocron, hoping to store his knowledge and lore for future generations of Sith Lords. His desire to create the holocron became an obsession, and several failures only added to his mania. One failure led him to question the continued symbiosis with the orbalisks, since their presence both helped and hindered his progress. In anger, he destroyed his encampment, allowing the Dark Side of the Force to explode from his body in a wave of destruction. When Zannah returned from Serenno, Bane claimed that he was in control of the orbalisks, despite the fact that the creatures had taken over his body.
After Zannah was apprehended by Hetton, she returned once again to Ambria, this time with Hetton's Umbaran Shadow Assassins at her side. Bane initially believed that she had finally betrayed him, but she later explained that she had lured Hetton to Ambria to steal his wealth of Sith lore, which included information on Belia Darzu's ability to create a holocron. Believing that this was the final piece of information he required, Bane congratulated his apprentice on her scheme, and he set out to locate Tython. Zannah then traveled to Coruscant to discover a way to remove the orbalisks that covered Bane's body, secretly searching through the Jedi Archives until the Jedi were alerted to her presence when she was discovered by her cousin, Darovit. They fled to meet Bane of Tython, but were followed by the Jedi.
In Belia Darzu's fortress, Darth Bane explored Belia Darzu's holocron, learning of the secret of the capstone before Zannah arrived with Darovit. This gave Bane the knowledge that the orbalisks were not preventing him from completing his own holocron, and forced him to reconsider whether to remove them or not. He had little time to think, however, and he and Zannah were forced to confront the Jedi who had followed the apprentice. Among the Jedi were Valenthyne Farfalla and Master Worror, who used battle meditation to help the Jedi in the battle. However, Zannah and Bane proved to be too strong, and the Jedi were all but destroyed when Master Worror encased Bane in a sphere of Force energy. Bane had been preparing to unleash his Force lightning, and was trapped in the sphere as the electricity ricocheted off the barrier, striking him repeatedly.
The electricity killed many of the orbalisks, and left the rest of Bane's body a charred mess of flesh. The surviving orbalisks were unable to heal him, especially since Bane's body was also being ravaged by the toxins the creatures gave off as they died. Zannah implored Darovit to help heal her Master, but Bane's injuries were beyond his skills. Zannah then took Darovit and Bane's bopdy back to Ambria, hoping that Caleb would once again heal Bane's injuries. She was forced to accept a deal with Caleb, exchanging Bane's health for being stranded on Ambria. She was also forced to send out a communication to Coruscant, alerting the Jedi to Bane's presence on Ambria. Caleb followed through with his end of the bargain, slowly removing the surviving orbalisks and using his skills to help Bane overcome the toxins.
When he regained consciousness, Darth Bane was angry at, and dismayed by, Zannah's attempts to keep him alive. He had lost his orbalisk armor, and he believed that she had allowed compassion to cloud her judgement, rather than killing him outright and taking his place. However, Zannah had learned a great deal from her Master's teachings, and she killed had actually Caleb once Bane was safe. She scattered pieces of Caleb's body all over his camp, then turned on her cousin. She used her skills to beseige his mind with horrific and terrible images, driving him insane, then hid with Bane in Caleb's cellar and waited for the Jedi to arrive.
When the Jedi did arrive, they found Darovit holding the lightsaber that had belonged to Lord Farfalla, which Zannah had recovered on Tython. Fearing that the raving man was the Sith Lord they sought, the Jedi quickly cut Darovit down, assuming that the Sith menace had finally been destroyed. When the Jedi left Ambria, Zannah and Bane emerged from hiding and set out to continue their work.
The exact details of Darth Bane's death were lost in the following centuries, but his spirit was believed to have returned to Korriban. The existence of this spirit was uncovered by the Sith Lord known as Darth Krayt, who rose to power nearly a century after the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Although Darth Bane's spirit allowed itself to be summoned, it refused to aacknowledge Darth Krayt as a true Sith. Instead, the spirit of Darth Bane was joined by the spirits of other Sith Lords, who railed against Krayt's own Rule of One, claiming that it was diluting the true power of the Sith.

Bane's Heart
This lightsaber crystal was believed to have been created by Darth Bane, and imbued with the power of the Dark Side of the Force through arcane Sith alchemies. It was believed that the stone was later used by Dath Zannah in the creation of her double-bladed lightsaber, which was eventually acquired by General Grievous. The stone was later lost, although Jedi legends claim that the crystal could be used by a Jedi Knight, and that the lightsaber with the tuned crystal could only be used by the individual who tuned it.

After Sliven found Tahiri, he also discovered Bangor, and decided that the two orphans would be given a chance to live and grow together. The Tusken Raiders did not usually name their banthas, but Tahiri was determined to give the creature a name. After Tahiri left Tatooine to study the Force at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, Bangor remained with the tribe on the chance that Tahiri would return and successfully complete her trial of adulthood. It was Bangor who located Tahiri and Anakin Solo in the desert of the Jundland Wastes and helped them return to the tribe's camp, just before the time allotted for the trial had expired.

This wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank of Aargau managed every aspect of planetary defense on the planet Aargau. During the height of the New Order, BAS was one of the largest private armies allowed to exist under the reign of Emperor Palpatine. Although most Aargauuns believed that the existence of BAS helped secure their neutrality during the Galactic Civil War, the reality was that too many Imperial dignitaries maintained too many bank accounts with the Bank of Aargau to allow the planet to be fully subjugated. The first and foremost mission of BAS was to uphold the Statutes of Aargau.

Bannistar Station
This Imperial refuleing station serviced a major sector of the Mid Rim, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Bannistar Station was also a primary supply hub for the region, allowing the Empire to extend its reach into the Outer Rim Territories. Bannistar Station was made up from several ovoid sections that were connected by gantries and sealed transport tubes. The lower end of each section was dedicated to the fuel delivery systems, which resembled a collection of huge hoses that connected to the hulls of starships that required refueling. The fuel sections were arranged around the station's main living section, although each fuel section had its own command center. Two massive, ring-shaped docking facilities allowed incoming starships to acquire supplies, and provided access to the station for visitors and travelers.
The exact location of the station was a carefully guarded secret, because the Empire didn't want the Alliance to know where it was. However, about nine months after the Battle of Yavin, the flagship Rebel One stumbled upon the station while trying to avoid Imperial starships. The ship was damaged when it was dragged out of hyperspace near Bannistar Station, forcing the Alliance crew to launch a suicide mission to destroy the refueling depot. The mission was based on the belief that explosives could be placed on the various exterior fuel cells and detonated, creating a self-sustained series of explosions that would rip the station apart. However, when several members of the strike team discovered that many fuel cells were all but empty, their hesitation allowed the Imperial forces aboard the station to apprehend them. Only Deena Shan remained free, and she single-handedly managed to destroy the Star Destroyer Certainty, which had been docked for refueling. The resulting explosion caused massive damage to Bannistar Station, as the fuel cells of docked startships exploded, causing the station's own fuel cells to go up in flames.

Bantha
This species of huge, elephant-like beasts was found on a great number of worlds with vastly different climates, a testament to its adaptability. The bantha was as much at home being used as transport by the Tusken Raiders on Tatooine as it was on grassy plains and frozen tundra, or even in the jungles of Kashyyyk. The bantha was domesticated on most of these worlds, and was used for pulling heavy loads, transportation, and even as war beasts. The meat and hide of the bantha were much sought-after, as are the horns and bones.
While the origins of the Bantha were unknown, every world on which existed laid claim to being its homeworld. Most banthas bred in captivity were trained as beasts of burden, and most of those were bred for desert environments. It was believed that the bantha was originally native to Tatooine, as there was a wealth of fossil evidence of banthas existing during an era which predated most modern civilizations.
There were at least three distinct subspecies found on the planet Tatooine: the common bantha (known to the scientific community as bantha majorus), the dwarf bantha, and the dune bantha. Banthas used their dextrous, sensitive tongue as a sort of hand, pulling up grass and shrubs from the ground. Also located on the tongue were breathing and scenting spiracles, which allowed the bantha to determine what an object was without stooping or reaching awkwardly. Male banthas raised their tongue as a way to singal their readiness to mate. In most subspecies, the distinctive horns of the bantha grew at the rate of a knob each year.
The banthas of Kashyyyk, also known as Kashyyyk greyclimbers, were distinct in that they were hornless. Instead, these banthas had huge cranial plates that protected their heads.
For most other subspecies, the thickness and condition of the horns were indicators of the bantha's health and environment. Most female banthas achieved just a single spiral during their lifetimes, while a male may achieve two full spirals. Because of this spiraling, and because banthas butted heads in ritual combat, a pair could become entangled each other's horns. This almost always meant death for both banthas, since the beasts were too clumsy and dim-witted to extricate themselves.
Banthas traveled in herds of up to twenty-five individuals, led by the oldest, strongest female. A herd that grew too large was split, with the second oldest and strongest female taking the new herd. The herd was usually protected by the males, who formed circles around females and calves to defend them against predators. The average bantha could live more than eighty years.
The banthas of Tatooine were known to form deep bonds with the Tusken Raiders of the planet, and often committed suicide if their riders were to die first. Banthas which died naturally were placed in vast graveyards, which held a kind of ceremonial reverence with the banthas.

Bantha Clan
This was one of the many "clans" formed by the Jedi Council to facilitate the training of young individuals, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Like other such groups, the Bantha Clan was made up of children of varying species between the ages of four and eight standard years. They trained in these groups until they were thirteen years old, at which time they were either chosen by a Jedi Master as a Padawan learner or given other duties outside the Jedi Order.

Bantha Decoy
This was a form of speeder combat tactic that was developed by Luke Skywalker, from a technique he once used in his T-16 skyhopper to play games with banthas. In this maneuver, two speeders attacked a target - often, an Imperial AT-AT walker - from behind. When it was in firing range, the lead speeder would fire a volley at the head of the walker and peel off to one side, forcing its pilot and gunner to turn in order to return fire. This allowed the trailing speeder to get off several shots at the head and neck of the walker, were know to be vulnerable attack points. This technique was first put to use during the Battle of Hoth.
(RASB)
Bantha Fodder
This slang term was used by the natives of the planet Tatooine to describe anything that was considered worthless or a waste of time. Many criminals and conmen also used the term to describe what a being might become if they welched out on a debt or couldn't complete a deal.
(GG7, SWJ4, OWS)
Bantha Formation
This was a starfighter attack pattern developed by Anakin Skywalker, during the era of the Clone Wars. Just as Tusken Raiders rode banthas in a single-file line to hide their numbers, Anakin had starfighters attack a target in a single line. In this way, only the lead ship could be accurately targetted by the enemy's weapons, but it provided only a small target that was difficult to lock. In this formation, a squadron of fighters could weave through obstacles in a battle zone, and quickly reach their targets.
(CWTV03, CWSOD)
Bantha Graveyard
This was the Roonan name for the eerie patch of land near the Umboo Province, where the banthas of the planet Roon went to die. What made the area unusual was that starships flying over the area seemed to experience all manner of malfunctions, as if the Graveyard could affect sensors and navigation. After the discovery of Ogger Baobab's starship in the Graveyard, the Council of Confederated Provinces declared the space above the Bantha Graveyard to be a nof-fly zone until the mystery could be investigated.

Bantha II Cargo Skiff
Manufactured by Ubrickkian Industries, the Bantha II skiff was a sleek, pointed, nine-meter-long repulsorlift cargo platform. It required a single pilot, and could transport up to 16 passengers. It could also carry 120 metric tons of cargo. Its maxmimum flight ceiling was 50 meters, and the Bantha II could cruise at speeds up to 250 kilometers an hour. It was an open-air skiff that was piloted from the rear. Jabba the Hutt employed these kinds of skiffs when taking prisoners to the Sarlacc pit. The advertising for the Bantha II described it as "a skiff so easy to pilot, even a labor droid can handle it!" Maneuverability was achieved by a pair of semi-circular steering vanes attached at the rear of the skiff.

Bantha Squadron
This Imperial training unit was stationed at the Carida Academy during the years prior to the Battle of Yavin. It was decimated during a training exercise which was designed to test prototype MT-ST walkers. Shira Elan Colla Brie and Myrette Davani were hunting Bantha Squadron's MT-STs as part of a wargame exercise, moving through the mountains known as Tarkin's Teeth. For an unknown reason, Shira's training lasers had been replaced with actual working weaponry, a situation that was later blamed on "instructor error". All members of Bantha Squadron working in the MT-ST were killed, and the walker itself was destroyed. Their deaths were later described in Imperial communications as "regrettable casualties", and the surviving members of Bantha Squadron acted as if nothing had happened.

Bantha Traxx
Located in the upper-class section of the planet Lianna, Bantha Traxx was established in the old Club Vortex building, and quickly established itself by gaining a wealthy and influential clientele. Owned by Yin Vocta, the Bantha Traxx contained a restaurant, bar, dance floor, and gift shop, all of which featured a desert motif located within traditional Liann architecture. The entrance to the establishment was well-marked, with a glowing neon bantha above the doorway. The desert motif was a nod to one of Vocta's favorite places, Tatooine, and lent itself well to the bantha theme of the restaurant.

Bantha-456
This code was created by Anakin Solo, and was used to purchase the nanny droid TDL-3.5 from an online catalog. He had hoped to purchase the droid to help C-3PO, not realizing that he might get into trouble. The code was derived from the story The Little Lost Bantha Cub, a favorite of Anakin's. The code was discovered by C-3PO and Jaina and Jacen Solo when TDL-3.5 showed up to take over C-3PO's duties.

Bantha-class Assault Shuttle
This troop carrier and assault shuttle was one of the most welcomed ships ever added to the armada of the Alliance, and continued to gain popularity in the early years of the New Republic. Developed by Mon Calamari and Sullustan designers in response to the Empire's use of Sentinel-class shuttles, the Bantha-class shuttle created to fly in behind a fighter screen and the take a beating while delivering ground troops into battle. It landed on a gimballed monopod, giving it a small footpit while allowing it to carry and delivery nearly thirty tons of troops and armed vehicles into a warzone. A group of turbolasers manufactured by Golan Arms stud the upper hull of the ship, providing heavy cover for the troops which disembark from it. The ship requires a living pilot, but the pilot was assisted by a droid brain, and many of the pilots often banter with the droid during missions. These pilots often refer to themselves as "bus drivers."

Bantha-Horn, Oggun
This hulking Devaronian goon worked for Ranon Djelkh on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. Oggun was easily distinguished by his battle armor and helmet, which had been adapted to fit his horns. A pair of bantha horns - from his first kill on Tatooine - were added for effect. He carried a Wookiee bowcaster as his primary weapon, the souvenir of another mission. Sometime before the Battle of Yavin, he was dispatched to obtain a special cologne, extracted from the scent glands of a tirginni beast, from Harbo Wils, as part of Djelkh's plot to assassinate Jabba the Hutt. When he discovered that Wils had tried to double-cross Djelkh, Oggun set out to capture the smugglers who had inadvertently obtained the cologne. Eventually, they all met up at the wreck of the Star Stalker. There, in an intense firefight, Oggun was shot and killed.

(BIT1)
Banthas
This was the name used by Luke Skywalker to describe the eleven- to thirteen-year-old trainees at the Jedi academy on Ossus, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. As Master Skywalker had originally laid out the training regiment for his students, the Banthas were the final named group of students on Ossus, since all trainees were allowed to build their lightsabers at the age of fourteen, at which point they became apprentices. Over time, however, two additional training levels were added after the Banthas - the Veermoks and the Wampas - to ensure that students were truly ready to become Jedi Knights.

Bantillian, Feleen
This criminal found a bounty on his head after killing the son of the crimelord Drex, during the height of the New Order. Bantillian was a tall, wide-bodied being who wore a full-body suit of armor as protection. Hidden in the armor was a deflector shield generated scavenged from a droideka. His wide, triangular head was protected by a spiked helmet, with only his red eyes and upper jaw visible. Drex had gone out of his way to hire Boba Fett to hunt Bantillian down. He hid on the remote world of Vornax, where he reprogrammed thousands of derelict droids toact as his personal guardian force. However, when Fett confronted Bantillian on Vornax, Bantillian revealed that he was actually Drex's son, and that they had created the entire backstory to trap Fett on Vornax to exact revenge for the death of Gavron Sil. Fett managed to avoid the droid armies Bantillian had created, and tricked him into moving toward a large puddle of machine oil. Fett then set the oil on fire, forcing Bantillian to find a way to extinguish the blaze. In his confusion, Bantillian fell into a pool of water and drownedm along with many of his droids. Fett returned to Drex to collect the bounty on Bantillian, bringing Bantillian's head as proof of his demise. To ensure that Drex never tried to doublecross him again, Fett placed an active thermal detonator in Bantillian's mouth before leaving Drex's court.

Baobab, Auren Yomm
A fifteen-year-old human girl from the Umboo colony of Roon, Auren was an excellent athlete and kalak handler, during the early years of the New Order. She and her droid, Bix, won many competitions in the Colonial Games during the early years of the New Order, and were often partnered with Gee Long. Auren met Mungo Baobab and his droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, when she rescued them from a race of mud creatures on Roon. They were then beset by Governor Koong and his henchman, Gaff, as well as by Gaff's espionage droid O'Dingo. Mungo and C-3PO agreed to help Auren and her team compete in the Colonial Games. For his help, Auren gave Mungo a Roonstone.
In the following years, Aurem decided to fight back against Imperial domination, and earned the respoect of the Alliance's military leaders for her training of Alliance-allied resistance groups. She was perhaps best-known for training the Caldera's Crest guerilla fighters, who fought back against the Imperial forces that were controlling New Bornalex. Following her stint as a freedom fighter, Auren married Mungo Baobab, and spent many years working with him.

Baobab, Ebenn Q3
This man was known for his work on the Galactic Phrase Book and Travel Guide, the immense phrase book he compiled to document a wealth of human and alien expressions for use by travelers across the galaxy. Known to his close friends as EQ3, Baobab spent the better part of forty-five years traveling the galaxy, visiting more than 1,300 different cultures, before signing on as the writer of the Galactic Phrase Book and Travel Guide. During this time, he amassed the galaxy's largest private collection of pre-Slime period Huttese artwork, and wrote many popular texts. He was even named a Laureate of the Empire twice during his career.
As a child, Baobab performed as an acrobat in the family circus, but wanted to do something more with his life. He jumped ship, hoping to explore the galaxy, but was captured first by the Moras and then by the Hutts, both of whom pressed him into military service. He managed to escape from both groups, serving aboard a Neimoidian transport vessel before returning to Manda with the idea of becoming a philologist. He took all the notes and anecdotes he had written down over the and began working on several books, including his own autobiography, Blazing Rockets.
In the years following the Galactic Civil War, Baobab published a major revision of the original work, entitled A Language Guide to the Galaxy. Funded by the Baobab Merchant Council and the Widows of Alderaan Educational Consortium, the new Guide provided a deeper look into the cultures of the predominant races of the galaxy, in an effort to overcome the anti-alien prejudices of the New Order.
After retiring from his travels, Baobab returned to Manda with his family, where he was named the Chief Philologist at the Baobab Archives on Manda.
(GMR5, HNN5, GPB)
Baobab, Mungo
A Mandan sent to Biitu to establish a trading post and a fuel-ore mining operation, he was a reckless adventurer whose family owned the Baobab Merchant Fleet during the early years of the New Order. Mungo was dispatched to Biitu by the elders who served as the Merchant Fleet's board of directors, who feared that Mungo's recklessness would prove to be the undoing of the fleet. It was just before his assignment to Biitu that Mungo assumed ownership of R2-D2 and C-3PO, after they were freed by Jann Tosh. When the Empire discovered the fuel reserves of Biitu, they dispatched the Great Heep to capture Mungo and take control of the refineries. While they were able to defeat the droid and reclaim Biitu, much of the planet's surface had been destroyed. After defeating the Imperials on Biitu, Mungo and the droids set out for the Roon System, in the hopes of locating the mysterious and valuable Roonstones. Upon arriving on Roon, Mungo found himself the target of Governor Koong, who had pursued him from Biitu. On Roon, Mungo met Auren Yomm, and helped her team win the Colonial Games. For his efforts, Auren gave Mungo a single roonstone, giving him the hope of finding more. Shortly afterward, Mungo discovered the "haunted" starship on which his distant relative, Ogger Baobab, lived. Before passing on, Ogger bequeathed six bags of roonstones to Mungo, as well as providing more information on where to find the stones. Before Mungo and the droids could travel further, they were captured by Koong and held by his henchman, Gaff. Mungo dropped the Roonstones in order to ensure their escape. He then ran into Koong's plans to destroy the Tawntoom province by releasing ther rooze germ, and Mungo was able to steal the germ and free the Yomm family. In the process, he discovered that a great cache of Roonstones was located beneath Tawntoom province. He tried to negotiate the return of his starship, the Caravel, in exchange for the Roonstones. However, Admiral Screed double-crossed Koong, and Koong destroyed the Roonstones' location. Mungo managed to escape with but a single Roonstone. This stone, however, contained the earliest-known text of the Dha Werda Verda.

Baobab, Ogger
This man, a member of the Baobab merchant family from the planet Manda, was lost over the planet Roon when his starship experienced a malfunction and crashed. It was later discovered that Ogger's ship went down in the area known as the Bantha Graveyard, and that Ogger himself survived inside for nearly sixty years before dying of old age. Before he died, though, he managed to pass on his knowledge of the Roonstones to his great-nephew, Mungo Baobab. He warned Mungo not to chase the Roonstones for wealth, and urged the younger man to ensure that he maintained his friendships before pursuing personal gains.
(WOTC, SWDB, GORW)
Baobab, Olgun
This man was a partiarch of the Baobab family, and one of the founders of the Baobab Merchant Fleet. Mungo Baobab discovered him aboard a supposedly haunted starship during the early years of the New Order. Olgun explained that he, too, had been searching for the Roonstones. Mungo was surprised to learn that Olgun possessed six bags fulls of them, especially after he had been unable to locate but a single stone. Unfortunately for Mungo, Olgun died before he could be taken into care. Olgun left Mungo his collection of roonstones and a survival kit.

(GPB)
Baobab, Yperio
This cyber-philologist was the creator of the Yperio Program, which provided droids with the ability to communicate in a more expansive way that ever before. Previously, droid communications were limited to a set of yes/no questions, as "talking" droids were only capable of providing "yes" or "no" as their answer. With the Yperio Program, Baobab gave droids the ability to communicate on a wide range of sensory data, although this communication was limited to interactions between droids. The language used by these droid became known as Bab-Prime. However, this paved the way for more interpretive programming that allowed for complex interactions between droids and organics. Note that the Star Wars Galactic Phrase Book and Travel Guide indicates that Yperio Baobab developed his breakthrough programming just 200 years before the Galactic Civil War, despite the fact that talking droids show up in the Tales of the Jedi comics, several millennia earlier.

Baobab Archives
This was the immense library and archival center maintained by the Baobab family on the planet Manda.

Funded by the Baobab Merchant Council and the Baobab Archives, this HoloNet feed carried a wealth of educational and humanitarian content, including a number of popular broadcasts by noted philologist Ebenn Q3 Baobab. The Baobab HoloNet was forced to operate on its own during the era of the New Order, after the Imperial government took control of the primary HoloNet for its own purposes. In the wake of the Galactic Civil War, however, the Baobab HoloNet was once again allowed to broadcast in conjunction with the galactic HoloNet, after the New Republic re-established HoloNet connectivity across the galaxy.

Bao-Dur
This Zabrak was one of the many Iridonians who supported the Old Republic and the Jedi Order during the years following the Great Sith War. A mechanic by trade, Bao-Dur enlisted in the Republic military after witnessing Mandalorian soldiers attacking Iridonian colony worlds. In addition to being an excellent warrior, Bao-Dur lent his technical skills to the development of new shields and other technology. While fighting in the Mandalorian Wars, served under the Jedi General who was later known only as The Exile. Thanks to Bao-Dur's skills, the Mass Shadow Generator was built and eventually used to win the Battle of Malachor, during which Bao-Dur lost his left arm in combat. The limb was replaced with a mechanical prosthesis, which gave him added strength. He retired from active military duty, taking up residence on Telos. It was on Telos that Bao-Dur rejoined The Exile, during the search for information on Darth Sion. Bao-Dur's skills with shielding technogoly allowed The Exile to escape several desparate situations, and ultimately helped their group defeat Darth Traya and her fellow Sith Lords. It was Bao-Dur's droid, known as Remote, that reactivated the Mass Shadow Generator, causing the destruction of Malachor V and destroying the Trayus Academy. Note that this character was also referred to as Bao Dur.

This was one of the many tapcafs that were found in the cityscape of Nar Shaddaa, during the height of the New Republic. The doorway to the Jara' was scorched and pocked from numerous blaster hits, but it was one of the few establishments in the neighborhood that never closed. It was believed that Nom Anor first contacted the Mandalorians at the Bar Jaraniz, during the years he spent scouting the galaxy for the Yuuzhan Vong. Nom Anor learned that the Bar Jaraniz was a place where bounty hunters, including Mandalorians, spent their time looking for new jobs.

Bara
This wraith was one of the unique organisms that inhabit the world of Jellyfish Cove. She, like all of her race, was mobile and can prowl for prey in an ethereal form. However, she could not exist in ethereal form in the presence of sunlight, which caused them to solidify into statue-like images of themselves. Bara nearly overcame the problem when she first encountered Garve. She tried to attack him during a thick fog, but shafts of sunlight kept making her solid. Garve escaped, but only until Bara discovered that the Imperial uniforms left on Jellyfish Cove by her other victims could wrap her in sunlight-blocking material from head to foot. She dressed as an Imperial officer and gained admittance to Garve's base. When it became dark, she revealed her true form and again nearly killed Garve, but he was once again saved by sunlight which streamed through the windows.

Barab
This red dwarf star was the primary sun in the Barab System, which included the planet Barab I.
(GG4)
Barab I
The homeworld of the Barabels, Barab I was the innermost planet in the Barab System, orbiting very near to its primary star, Barab. Barab I orbited Barab at less than 125 million kilometers. Thus, its surface was constantly being bombarded by all sorts of radiation. This, coupled with the intense heat from the star, caused any water which condensed to the ground at night to quickly evaporate, creating a deadly, humid surface environment that resulted in an irradited greehouse effect. The Barabels and most other forms of life on the planet adapted by living in the caves the riddle the planet, and every form of life - including most herbivores - was capable of killing another creature for sustenance. All forms of life on Barab I were cold-blooded, despite its proximity to its primary star. The average day on Barab I lasted about 60 standard hours. The written history of the planet was started just 400 years before the Battle of Yavin, and many historians and xenoarchaeologists have determined that Barabel "pre-history" was no more or less remarkable than that of any other race in the galaxy.
During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Barab I was caught between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy on Independent Systems in a battle that saw Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi nearly killed. The Republic was forced to withdraw, leaving Barab I under Separatist control. During the latter stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Barab I was attacked and razed by the alien invaders. All life was erased from the planet's surface, and the Barabel population was taken away for slavery.

Barab Ore
This unusual, crystalline ore was found on the planet Barab I. Several millennia before the onset of the Clone Wars, the ancient Jedi Knights sometimes used Barab Ore crystals in the construction of their lightsabers. The blade produced by a Barab Ore crystal burned exceptionally bright and hot, and many Jedi considered this blade too dangerous to use, as it could lose energy cohesion at any time. In its raw form, Barab Ore was found on the surface of Barab I, which led to its near-constant exposure to radiation. When refined into ingots, Barab Ore could actually store radiation and increase its energy potential, which made it dangerous to handle without proper training and protection.
(KOTOR2)
Barabel
This bipedal race of reptiloids was covered in black scales much like fingernails. Known for their hunting and tracking abilities, Barabels had heavy, retractable claws and sharp, needle-like teeth. They were a communal race which was native to the irradiated world of Brab I, with separate groups of up to 10,000 individuals existing under the guidance of a pack leader. Their aggression was well-known, but they were also extremely loyal to their mates and parents. Barabels were especially fond of fighting with their nearby neighbors, the Verpine, and often captured Verpine and gave their body parts to the Kubaz. Being a moral race by nature, they had a deep respect for the Jedi Knights which stemmed from their first experiences with the Jedi, in which a Jedi Master successfully mediated a dangerous clan dispute. The written history of the Barabel race only dated back some 400 years before the Battle of Yavin, although most xenoarchaeologists agreed that life before this was similar in most respects to life since that time. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, the Barabels managed to remain untouched for several years, until Barab I was attacked and destroyed. The Barabels as a race were either killed or taken offplanet to be enslaved, and no life was left on the planet's surface. Those Barabels taken as slaves were killed when Saba Sebatyne returned to her homeworld to find it in flames. She failed to recognize the Yuuzhan Vong transport ship, and shot it down. She was horrified to see Barabel bodies gushing from the transport, but later reconciled herself to the fact that death for the Barabels was probably better than slavery. The memory of her people kept her fighting for years to come.

Barabi Run
This smuggling ship was known to have transported raw spice to the planet Varl, as part of Mika the Hutt's plans to produce tempest. It made a regular journey along the Perlemian Trade Route, stopping at Rhilithan in accordance with Mika's orders. A Mobquet Medium Transport, the Barabi Run was formerly known as the Moonlight Cruise, until it was refitted for spice transport. The body of the ship was made up of two rectangular modules and one cylindrical module, and it was armed with two concealed double turbolaser cannons, two pairs of heavy ion cannons, four concussion missile launchers, and a tractor beam projector. Many who encountered the ship felt that it was too heavily armed for its size, but the ship's cargo more than made up for its armament. The ship required a crew of six to operate, and could carry up to 500 metric tons of cargo and twenty-six passengers. The ship was captained by Tarson Kestrel, until it was apprehended near Rhilithan by a group of freelance agents hired by Angela Krin of the Corporate Sector Authority. Although the crew was detained by the Corporate Sector Authority for running spice, they were never charged with a crime, and the Barabi Run was released several days later.

Barada
This was a common name among Klatooinan males. It was used to honor the memory of Barada M'Beg, who signed the Treaty of Vontor and allied his race with the Hutts, who had been deemed the Ancients of Klatooinan religion.
(NEGA)
Barada
This Klatooinan was the leader of Jabba the Hutt's repulsorpool on the planet Tatooine, just prior to the crimelord's death. He had been badly scarred and disfigured on his homeworld before being sold to Jabba. Barada was won by Jabba in a rigged sabacc match, but Jabba chose to keep Barada as a slave rather than give him any kind of freedom. Because of this, Barada often wore an orange scarf as a symbol of protest against both his own unjust servitude and that of his people.
It was Barada who discovered the body of Ak-Buz in the palace scrap heap, just before Jabba's death. He also assisted in watching over Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca when Jabba brought them to the Pit of Carkoon. Unfortunately for Barada, he was one of the first of Jabba's men to fall into the Sarlacc pit when Luke's plan for escape went into action.

Baradium
A powerful but unstable synthetic element, baradium was used as the primary explosive in thermal detonators. When ignited, the baradium generated a particle field around the exploding particles which were being emitted from the detonator. Most thermal detonators could generate a five-meter sphere, which meant that the baradium was capable of incinerating everything inside a five-meter diameter sphere centered on its source. Everything outside the sphere was undamaged, as the sphere would eventually collapse when the baradium was spent. Alliance scientists were able to discover a way to use ytterbium as a stabilizer.
(ISB, MF)
Baradium Fission Device
This was essentially a huge form of thermal detonator that could be deployed from a starship. These devices were banned by virtually every planetary, sector, and galactic government, because the amount of baradium used in their construction could have destroyed an entire planet.

Baraduk
This Barabel was captured for use as an Imperial slave, but escaped from the compound on Herios IV. Before he left, Baraduk stole a cache of weapons from the Imperial armory, an act which earned him the wrath of Herios' Governor. However, Baraduk evaded capture until the governor offered him amnesty to simply leave the planet - an offer prompted by the loss of fifteen Imperial soldiers who were killed chasing Baraduk. The Barabel agreed, and left Herios IV with all the weapons he could carry. He was hunted by Galasett for many years, until he defeated the Kerestian in single combat. The two maintained a blood feud over the years.

Baragwin
A race of hunch-backed, bipedal saurians, the Baragwin spread throughout the galaxy after their early ancestors discovered space travel. By the time humans began traveling through space, the Baragwins had probably already forgotten where their homeworld was.
The average Baragwin was distinguished by their large head, which was as wide as their shoulders and was supported by a thick, muscular neck. Baragwins had an incredible sense of smell, and could determine their quarry's emotional state from the various pheromones exuded.
Their homeworld had been lost over the millennia, and communities of Baragwin evolved distinct emotional and cultural differences during their separation. Being widely scattered, they simply adopted the various technologies found throughout the galaxy, and became knowledgeable in their uses. They also developed weapons and tools that were useable in their three-fingered hands.
Because of their skills with weapons customization, the Baragwin were sought out by Imperial forces during the era of the New Order. However, in the wake of the Battle of Endor and the deployment of the Krytos virus - which wiped out a large percentage of Coruscant's Baragwin popuation - the Baragwins switched alliances and joined the New Republic.
(GG12, ANT, NEGA)
Baragwin Assault Blade
This ancient weapon was developed by the Baragwin race, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor.

Baraka, Arikakon
This male Mon Calamari served as an Admiral in the naval forces of the Old Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Admiral Baraka was in charge of the mission to Vandor-3, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. A career officer, Admiral Baraka followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfatjer by joining the military. This history gave Baraka a deep understanding of war and military actions, but it also made him wary of the introduction of clone troopers to the Grand Army of the Republic. He no longer had to worry about abnormal behavior among his troops, as each clone was produced to be utterly loyal and follow directions with incredible precision. Deep inside, he also wondered whether he and other military leaders were simply becoming obsolete. When he was ordered to take the Nexu and travel to Ord Cestus, he was angry at having been removed from the main fighting lines of the war. He bristled at the fact that a mission to Ord Cestus would not gain him any attention or promotions, and he vowed to eliminate the Cestian threat as quickly as possible in order to return to the fighting. He believed he was going to strike at the Clandes Industrial complex, but Asajj Ventress had secretly altered the triangulation of the signals. Instead, the targetting system was actually aimed at a densely-populated civilian area. Baraka didn't know this, but was still shocked when ARC trooper A-98 - once known as Nate - ordered the ships to fire on his exact location. Only the seriousness of the request, which would surely kill the ARC trooper, made Baraka change the ship's targetting to aim at Nate's position.

Mostly ignored by the Empire, the Alliance kept a presence on Baralou to maintain a trade agreement which allowed them to obtain some of the planet's abundant algae for food. Baralou was also known for the abundance of gemstones found in its waters, inlcuding sasho gems, kuggerags, and jasse hearts. It was the first planet in the system, and had a day which lasted 22 standard hours. Its year lasted 295 local days.

It was known that Baran joined the Alliance only after he claimed that the Imperial governor of Corellia ignored his talents, which were much greater in Baran'sown mind than they were in real life. He was not well-respected among the starfighter pilots assigned to the base, who often referred to him as "Barren-Brain" behind his back. His appearance, squint-eyed and snivelling, made many beings wonder if he was even human. After Niall Pedrin nearly succeeded in locating Eyrie Base, Commander Baran was reassigned to a desk job on an Alliance safeworld.

Baran Do
This was an ancient philosophy of the Force that developed among the Kel Dor, thousands of years before their race joined the Old Republic. The Baran Do philosophy was distinguished from that of the Jedi Knights and the Sith in its training methods and beliefs. Much of the Baran Do tradition was centered on knowledge and wisdom, which led to the Baran Do Sages acting as advisors and seers for the leaders of Kel Dor society. The Baran Do Sages recognized that there would always be some form of evil in the galaxy, and that the Force could not exist without it. It was impossible to eliminate evil, so the Baran Do philosophy stressed the need to identify evil, understand it, and work to avoid it. The Baran Do philosophy also embraced the notion that death was a time to say goodbye to those around you and pass into whatever awaited beings in the afterlife. This was a peaceful form of dying, as the individual was allowed to meet death on their own terms, and the decision to "accept death" gave an individual chance to offer their life to the greater will of the Force. The bodies of those Baran Do Sages who accepted death were later cremated, a symbol of greate respect on a oxygen-poor world like Dorin.
(SWI68, HG, NEGA, EGF, FJ1)
Baran Do Master
This was the title given to the highest-ranking members of the Baran Do Sages.
(FJ1)
Baran Do Sages
This was the name used to describe those Kel Dor who were specifically trained in the use of the Force, under the Baran Do tenets. Force-sensitive Kel Dor were distinguished by their silver eyes. The sages of Baran Do trained for many years to learn how to communicate with the Force, undergoing intensive sensory deprivation sessions that served to augment their physical senses. It was believed that the original Baran Do Sages were simple villagers who discovered that they had the ability to anticipate the strange weather patterns that were experienced on Dorin, allowing them to warn others of approaching storms. Over time, these villagers discovered that they were not unique, and began to discuss their abilities and form a basic set of philosophies that governed their use. The first sages identified several distinct techniques, and learned how to use the Force to foresee the immediate future, allowing them to become investigators as well as advisors and scholars. This ability to perceive the future also gave the Baran Do Sages the opportunity to watch for any member of their group who might turn to the Dark Side of the Force, and prevent them from turning evil.
During the Old Republic, there were many Baran Do Sages, and many important government positions - both on Dorin and on other worlds - were given a Baran Do Sage as an advisor to work with. When the Jedi Order was first formed, it had little impact on the ranks of the Baran Do Sages. Over time, however, the Jedi Order became the galaxy's defacto group of Force users, and the Baran Do Sages began to fade into obscurity. Even on Dorin, the Baran Do Sages became little more than wizards and prophets to the Kel Dor. Thus, when the Jedi Purge swept across the galaxy, the Baran Do Sages were untouched by Emperor Palpatine and his minion, Darth Vader.
In the wake of the Battle of Endor, those remaining sages began to establish contact with the new Jedi Order, in an effort to restore peace and justice to the galaxy. However, the Jedi were often too busy with the trials and tribulations of keeping the rest of the galaxy together, and no true bonds were ever forged between the two groups. Jacen Solo made a pilgrimage to Dorin in the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War, and Luke Skywalker made a similar pilgrimage after the Second Galactic Civil War, hoping to learn the same techniques that Jacen did. Skywalker and his son, Ben, were allowed to spent time at the Baran Do estate in the city of Dorh'shan, a four-level ziggurat that was painted so that each level was darker than the one below it. This main building and two other buildings were surrounded by a transparisteel wall that had been polished so many times that it was no longer flat, but undulated as it surrounded the complex. The interior of the main entrance chamber of the building was decorated in such a way as to mimic the external environment, with dark stone for the ceiling and brown permacrete floors to resemble a starry sky over the ground. The walls were made from black stone, suggesting the two black holes that were located in the Dorin System. Columns made of white stone supported the ceiling, and were symbolic of the intentions of the Kel Dor and other living beings to keep the forces of natural at bay.
At this time, the Baran Do order included six Masters and twenty students, with the order being led by Tila Mong. Mong explained to Luke that the Baran Do Sages were different from the Jedi Order in that they were not militant, and did not focus any of their training on combat.

Baran Wu Station
This was one of two secondary facilities that were used on Kamino to produce the clone troopers used by the Grand Army of the Republic. Many of the clone troopers produced at the facilities on Baran Wu Station were transported, along with their Kaminoan developers, to Coruscant, as a contingency in case Kamino itself was targeted for attack by the Separatists.

This huge man was an independent scout and free trader during the early years of Palpatine's New Order. About 10 years before the Battle of Yavin, Baranar was mauled by a snow demon during a stop-over on the planet Toola. He was taken to the Great Hoary Mastmot Trading Station, and while he recovered the owner - a Wookiee named Spetbecca - was captured by bounty hunters. Haaken was unconscious at the time, and felt that he owed the Wookiee a debt for not helping out. Thus, Haaken remained on Toola to manage the Trading Station in the hopes that Spetbecca would return.

This stocky, middle-aged man was the co-owner and chief engineer of the Yen-2 mining colony. He was known as a string leader, with fair principles and a guiding vision. When he discovered that the Verde Asteroid Field was rich in deposits of doonium, he decided to strike a deal with the Empire and gain his company a huge profit. Barani negotiated a deal with Major Stipling, then also provided Stipling with information about Sprax's connections to Jatayus Outbound, Xizor Transport Systems, and Black Sun. However, Limna Yith had been employed by Sprax to eliminate Barani's little rebellion, and managed to obtain a cop of the information, which became known as the Barani List. Limna Yith then destroyed the Yen-2 outpost. Barani hid in the abandoned station, hoping to avoid the wrath of Black Sun and/or the Empire. Barani later revealed that he had been forced by the vigo Green to set up Sprax for a fall at the hands of the Empire. Green had promised Barani a huge payment as long as he supplied the Barani List to the Empire. After failing to sell the list and then being rediscovered on Yen-2, Barani fled to the surface of the asteroid and allowed himself to die in the airless environment.

This was the codename of the datafile maintained by Sprax and Millicent, detailing the involvement of Sprax's dealings with Neil Barani and the Yen-2 mining outpost. It also contained the names of the mercenary teams sent out by Xizor and Sprax to recover Limna Yith. Neil Barani had be provided with the names by the Black Sun vigo Green, who hoped that Barani would sell it to the Empire and bring down Sprax's operation along the Sisar Run. After changing hands several times, the list was recovered by Sprax's mercenaries on Yen-2. Contained in the list was a great deal of false information created by Green and meant to destroy Barani, vigo Sprax, and Ujin Voli. There was also a great deal of misinformation meant to make anyone who read the document believe it was false.

This bald-headed man was a scout for the Alliance, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. He was an independent scout who was more or less forced out of work by the rise of the Empire. So, he took his services to the Alliance, and was eventually stationed at the Edan Base on Edan II. Rojo was the first to discover the Imperial presence in the system, when he located a downed escape pod that turned out to be a probe droid capsule. His warning of the impending Imperial attack allowed the Alliance to abandon most of Edan Base before the Empire attacked it.

Baras
This Sith Lord was dispatched to the planet Alderaan, during the final years of the Great Galactic War, as part of a delegation that had agreed to discuss the terms of a peaceful cease-fire with the forces of the Galactic Republic. However, Lord Baras had no intentions of negotiating for peace. Instead, he waited for word of Lord Angral's attack on Coruscant, before explaining to the Republic's representatives what was going to happen. When the two Jedi Knights in the delegation, Master Dar'nala and Satele Shan, drew their lightsabers, Lord Baras had to draw his own weapon to defend himself against them. He quickly explained that he did not want to fight, but that the attack on Coruscant was merely meant to ensure that the negotiations were carried out on their terms, and that Angral was holding Coruscant hostage to ensure that the Republic's emissaries obeyed the rules that were laid down by the Sith. Baras later learned that the Jedi were reacting to Angral's execution of the Supreme Chancellor. After returning to Korriban from the negotiations on Alderaan, Lord Baras was ordered to report on his mission. During the report, he was offered a chance to take on more responsibility and gain more favor in the eyes of the Sith Emperor, but he declined, stating that his ambitions did not extend beyond his current role. He then confronted Lord Angral in the halls of the Sith Academy, questioning Angral's actions on Coruscant. Angral explained that he was not going to fight with Baras, but he also threatened to take advantage of any future situation to advance himself. While Angral was away on other business, Lord Baras began seeding the Sith leaders with hints that Angral was behind the attacks that were threatening the cease-fire established by the Treaty of Coruscant, using trickery to keep any suspicious away from himself. However, Angral learned from Nok about Baras and his true activities, which included the attack on the transport ship Envoy and many of the rebellious actions. Angral returned to Korriban to confront Baras with this knowledge, explaining the chain of events that led Braden to carry a message from Jedi Master Dar'nala back to Coruscant. Lord Baras realized that these events were helping to further his own plans, and explained to Angral that the Sith were now committed to the course of action he had planned. He then revealed that it had been Master Dar'nala who was behind the troubles that followed the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, and that her efforts had only given the Sith a reason to eliminate the Jedi Order. When Dar'nala was killed by Dalborra, Baras tried to recruit her former Padawan, Satele Shan, to join the Sith. Satele refused, and Lord Baras was forced to keep Lord Angral from killing her. Although Satele pledged to continue to fight the Sith, Lord Baras hoped that one day she would fall to the Dark Side of the Force and join the Sith.

BARC Speeder
This was a form of speederbike developed for the Grand Army of the Republic by Aratech, during the height of the Clone Wars. The name came from the mission profile of the clone troopers who used them. Biker Advanced Reconnaissance Commandos used these one-man speederbikes to move swiftly across a battlefield. The BARC Speeder was a slender vehicle that measured just over 4.5 meters in length, with the seat and controls mounted at the rear. The repulsorlift engines were located in a pod at the front, and provided the BARC speeder with a top speed of more than 480 kilometers and hour. A pair of laser cannons were mounted on the nose. In the wake of the Clone Wars, many BARC speeders were stripped of weaponry and certain performance enhancements, then sold off as military surplus. Note that Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 83, indicates that the BARC Speeder was based on the Ripper, which was produced by Mobquet.

This well-educated woman was a native of Coruscant, and the daughter of the owner of TranStar Construction. She was a mainstay of the social life in Tasariq City's Paradise Square, doing whatever she wanted to do, whenever she felt like doing it. As the Imperial presence on Tasariq grew, Yasinda made more and more anti-Imperial remarks during her parties, and even openly questioned the wisdom of the Tarkin Doctrine. However, few realized that Yasinda was acutally an Imperial Intelligence agent who had been recruited by Emperor Palpatine himself for special training. It was planned that she would one day become one of the Emperor's Hands, as Yasinda was found to be Force-sensitve, but her Imperial upbringing made her refuse to accept the possibility that the Force even existed, let alone was accessible to her. She was removed from the training, but continued her education with the Intelligence agency, and eagerly spent her time on Tasariq searching for rebel cells. Unfortunately for Yasinda, her proximity to the Tasar Crystals re-awakened her Force-sensitivity, and she started to hear voicesin her head. This slowly drove her insane, and only her years of training kept her from completely losing her mind.

This large man was the leader of the Bardrin Group, shortly after the Battle of Endor. He had his own daughter, Sansia, kidnapped in order to ensure his power. He then commandeered the crew of the Wild Karrde and ordered Mara Jade to "rescue" her from slavery at the hands of Chay Praysh. In reality, he merely wanted Sansia's ship, the Winning Gamble, recovered in order to maintain control of its highly-modified systems. Also, he had programmed the ship's sensors to monitor Praysh's alace defenses, and planned to use the information to storm the Drach'nam's palace on his own time. He then planned to sell the Winning Gamble to Praysh in return for some highly-secret weapons prototypes the Drach'nam's pirates had stolen from the Uoti Corporate. He also ensured that the Mrahash of Kvabja would deny ever sending a floater globe to Praysh, despite the fact that he sent one with Mara as a gift to Praysh. All these plans, he felt, would ensure that he could obtain the Uoti prototypes. However, as soon as Karrde discovered that his crew had been taken, he immediately rounded up his forces and stormed Bardrin's own palace. The Bardrin Group's guards were no match for Karrde's forces, and quickly surrendered the palace. After Mara and Sansia were freed, Karrde took the sensor data that Bardrin had taken on Praysh's palace and sent it to Luke Skywalker, in the hope that the New Republic would use it to storm the fortress and rescue the enslaved women. Sansia remained with her father, ensuring Karrde that she would punish him in her own way.

Bardrin, Sansia
This young woman was the daughter of Ja Bardrin. Bardrin had her kidnapped in order to remove her from a position of power within the Bardrin Group. She had been flying in the Winning Gamble, and her father desparately wanted the ship returned because of its highly-enhanced systems. Sansia was then sold into slavery to Chay Praysh. She was glad to discover that Mara Jade had flown to Torpris to rescue her, but when she learned that her father had hired Mara, she became dismayed that Mara only wanted the ship. When Mara's plans began to come together, Sansia assisted any way she could. Once they made it to the Winning Gamble, Sansia used its weapons to eliminate a group of Drach'nam guards and enable Mara to escape with her. After returning to her father's fortress, Sansia learned the true intentions behind her capture. She was so enraged that she gave ownership of the Winning Gamble to Mara Jade, and provided the sensor data it collected on Torpris to Talon Karrde. She then arranged to punish her father for his duplicity.

Bardron
This hulking Krish was in charge of the swoopduelists who fought in the arenas found on Jervo's World, during the final stages of the Mandalorian Wars. Bardron and his Krish thugs were on duty when Goethar Kleej tried to expose the dealings of The Franchise by retiring after winning his fourth Solo Aerials title. Kleej's speech at the end of the race was carefully edited so that nothing incriminating was heard by the viewers of the race, and he was taken into custody. In a chamber hidden within Jervo's World, Bardron beat Kleej mercilessly, demanding to know why Kleej thought he could get away with his actions. Bardron eventually was forced to send Kleej back to the slave pits where new fighters were cultivated, hoping to reinforce the fact that Kleej was an employee of The Franchise. Bardron then learned that Kleej had no remorse about going back, since he might have a chance to see his son, Aubin, again. Bardron had suspected that Goethar's actions had been meant to save his son, and had already taken the liberty to enter Aubin Kleej in the Tandem Open, despite the fact that the young Gotal had very little training as a swoopduelist. Goethar demanded a chance to enter the event and save his son, and Bardron reluctantly agreed, but with certain conditions. If either of the Gotals failed to win the event, they would both be sent back to the slave pits permanently. However, Bardron also explained that, should both Goethar and Aubin win the event, they would be allowed to go free. In order to make things more interesting, Bardron had ordered the other swoopduelists to avoid Aubin during the early races. The appearance of Zayne Carrick prompted Bardron to report to Jervo Thalien, who feared that Carrick's presence meant that Marn Hierogryph was on Jervo's World. Thalien ordered Bardron and his Krish thugs to capture Hierogryph and any other being he was associated with. When Thalien also demanded that Goethar Kleej be eliminated, Bardron agreed to rig the finals of the Tandem Open to ensure that the Gotal experienced a "tragic accident".

Bare Forest
Located on the planet Zelos II, this grove of conifer trees grew at the edge of the Valley of Umbra. Much of the valley was continually in shadow and covered with dense fog. It was in the valley that the Empire set up defensive platforms to guard their garrison base from discovery. The New Republic's Red Team Five attempted to break through the platforms and infiltrate the garrison, but an overeager leader caused them to launch their assault too quickly. The Republic's forced were nearly wiped out, and only Jai Raventhorn survived to be captured.

This was the name given to Tahiri Veila's starfighter group, established in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant to augment the depleted forces of the New Republic. Tahiri's position as a Jedi Knight and a survivor of the assault on the voxyn queen at Myrkr gave her leadership credentials, and the pilots of Barefoot Squadron quickly adapted to her style of leadership. Most, including the executive officer hand-picked by Admiral Traest Kre'fey himself, fought bravely in battle as well as in support of their leader. Unfortunately, like many New Republic squadrons of the time, Barefoot Squadron had a high percentage of green pilots, recruited from the planetary defense fleets in response to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion.

This native of the planet Wakeelmui was an employee of Sienar Fleet Systems' missile division when he decided to join the Imperial armed forces. He trained as a stormtrooper, but was transferred to scout trooper training when he showed more aptitude in that area. He eventually became one of the Empire's best speederbike pilots, and was assigned to the Imperial garrison on the forest moon of Endor, during the construction of the second Death Star. While at Endor, Barich dreamed of flying a starfighter and of joining the 181st Imperial Fighter Group after his tour of duty was complete. However, during the speederbike chase with Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, Barich was badly injured when he looked behind him to see where his pursuit was. When he turned around, he was unable to avoid hitting a huge stump and crashing. He was rescued and returned to his homeworld to recover, but could think of nothing more than getting back into action, especially in the wake of the Battle of Endor. He was trained as a fighter pilot, and eventually achieved his dream of flying with the 181st Imperial Fighter Group. His knack for clashing with superior officers - he claimed that their tactics were outdated - earned him several black marks on his record. He was soon demoted and returned to serve as a stormtrooper, but he never lost his skills for riding a speederbike. When Grand Admiral Thrawn rose to power, Barich once again was assigned a position as a scout trooper, and was instrumental in several battles against rogue Imperial warlords.

He was targeted for removal by the Republic, who dispatched Crix Madine and a team of troopers to capture him. Barkale's capture was interrupted by the appearance of Mara Jade on Kintoni, who had been trying to evade Ysanne Isard. Jade knew of Barkale from a meeting with Emperor Palpatine, who had been questioning the increasing loss of credits from Kintoni, losses which Barkale had written off to rebel raids. Jade discovered that Barkale had been warehousing credits, artworks, and other valuable items for some ten years, and reporting them stolen by the Alliance. Since she was still a member of the Imperial order, Jade executed Barkale as a traitor to the New Order, but allowed Madine to recover Barkale's warehouse as a way to fund the New Republic.

Barkbone was also known to have a pet dwarf monkey-lizard that rode on his shoulder wherever he went, and repeated every word he spoke. He was wanted by the Empire for his many crimes, having escaped from a group of Imperial Royal Guards on Axion by sabotaging an EG-6 power droid. He lost his leg during the escape, which was later replaced with a cybernetic prosthesis. During the escape, he tried to evade Imperial pursuit by flying through the Five Fire Rings of Fornax, but the stress of the journey and the bombardment of radiation drove Barkbone insane. Despite the injuries he sustained at Fornax, Barkbone remained coherent enough to realize he was still a target of the Empire, and more than once he managed to avoid capture by slipping through Imperial blockades.

This once-beautiful city, which served as the capital city of Sulon, surrounded a wondrous palace, and was the site of the moon's primary starport. After the Empire took control of Sulon, Imperial forces drove out a large portion of the population and established a base of operations in Baron's Hed. The palace was cleaned out and turned into an operations center. The rest of the city was left untouched, and began to decay from disuse. Those beings who stayed in the city and managed to eke out an existence were at the mercy of several troublesome groups, including the Imperial troops that occupied the city, the quarrelsome Gran who roamed the city, and the Grave Tuskens that roamed the outskirts of the city. After Jerec killed Morgan Katarn and discovered the location of the Valley of the Jedi, he spent a short amount of time in Baron's Hed, piecing together the ceiling tiles from Morgan Katarn's house before leaving for the planet Ruusan.

This meant that barq was virtually unaffordable to the farmers who grew it, but it made them very wealthy when it was harvested and sold. During the last years of the Old Republic, much of the barq that was produced on Qiilura was controlled by the Trade Federation, which had installed Lik Ankkit on Qiilura to oversee its production.

Barra-Rona-Ban
This Cerean Jedi Master became the chief librarian of the Jedi Archives on Coruscant, many years before the Battle of Ruusan. Master Barra was revered by his fellow Jedi for his attention to detail and his love of information. It was Master Barra who allowed the Sith apprentice, Zannah, to have access to the Archives, some ten years after the Battle of Ruusan. Zannah had posed as the Padawan Nalia Adollu, in an effort to gain access to any information that might help her Master, Darth Bane, remove the orbalisks that had infected his body.

Barrarrao
This Wookiee male was the leader of the Kiirloor settlement, located on the planet Cularin, during the final years of the Old Republic. Barrarrao felt himself helpless to stop the strange events that began to cause trouble in Kiirloor, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, although he was unaware that the trouble was being caused by the evil Tarasin female, Xinishia. When a group of freelance agents were introduced to Surracca and Delinna by Mother Dariana, Barrarrao gladly accepted their offer to help. Unfortunately, the agents were not strong enough to defeat Xinishia in combat. They were forced to agreed to a deal: Chywarra was returned to them, but the Wookiees of Kiirloor would have to relocate their settlement and leave the Wyrd in peace. Barrarrao quickly agreed to this deal when the agents returned with Chywarra, and he set about working with the Hiironi irstat to find an new home for the Kiirloor Wookiees.

Barrek, Daakman
This man was a native of the planet Mrlsst, the son of two highly-educated professors. It was his mother, an expert in the field of genetics, who discovered that his midichlorian count was quite high, and that Daakman had the potential to become a Jedi Knight. He was one of the strongest Jedi of his generation, attained the rank of Jedi Master in his thirties after successfully training his first Padawan. He discovered his second Padawan, Sha'a Gi, on the planet Ord Biniir, and spent a good deal of his time drawing the awkward youth out of his shell. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, the pair proved to be a formidable opponent to the pirate gangs that terrorized the Outer Rim. It was on one of these missions following the Battle of Geonosis - during which Barrek's first Padawan died in the fighting - that Barrek and Gi discovered the droid foundries on Hypori. Barrek relayed information on the planet's location to Coruscant, and was told to await a task force sent to destroy the foundries. However, was doomed almost from the start, as General Grievous swiftly decimated the Jedi forces. The starship on which Barrek and Gi were traveling was shot down, but they managed to survive the crash, only to be surrounded by battle droids. Grievous himself arrived on the scene to dispatch the Jedi, and Barrek was among the first to stand up to the unusual being. Barrek's skills were no match for Grievous', though, and Barrek was swiftly cut down.

Barri
This species of unusual creature was found in asteroid belts across the galaxy. Believed to be somewhat intelligent, barri were able to survive in the hard vacuum of interstellar space. Many xenobiologists agreed that barri were intelligent enough to grasp the complexities of astrogation, since the migrations of barri were observed to be directed, rather than haphazard. It was believed that barri originated on a planet in Wild Space, and took to the stars to find more food. They subsist by licking the asteroids on which they ride, using acidic saliva and other excretions to break down the rock into digestible material. These four-meter-long creatures resemble a thick slug with four large, taloned feet at one end and their heads at the other. Many deep-space pilots have discovered that thye could form a bond with a particular barri, during which time the barri attaches itself to the ship for a ride. In return, the barri subconciously communicates with the ship's navigator and provides assistance in astrogation. This relationship was particularly noticeable among Gotal and Ugor pilots.

Barricade, The
This pirate tactic was one of the oldest known methods for stopping a ship in space. The pirate fleet would use tractor beams to move a large asteroid or other debris into the realspace location of a hyperspace travel route. The body would then create a mass shadow in hyperspace, forcing the target ship's hyperdrive to shut down and revert the ship to realspace. Once the target was in realspace, the pirates attacked at will while the target ship's command crew was still disoriented after being dragged out of hyperspace before their destination.

Barris, Mosh
This Imperial military prefect was a subordinate of Governor Tadrin during the early years of the New Republic. Barris had previously been a member of the Imperial Navy, serving under Voss Parck during the events that brought Thrawn into the Imperial Navy. Barris had led the landing mission that recovered Thrawn, and had even advocated a planetary bombardment to eliminate the threat the Chiss posed. Instead, Parck took Thrawn aboard their ship, and Barris was relegated to several backwater positions before being assigned to Tadrin. Tadrin named Barris the ruler of Garqi while he was off-planet, which happened more and more often after the Emperor's death at Endor. Corran Horn was able to infiltrate himself into Barris' cabinet as Eamon Yzalli, working as one of Barris' aides. In this position, Horn was able to liberate many prisoners from the Garqi facility, including Lai Nootka and Dynba Tesc, and implicate Barris as a traitor to the Empire.

Bartam was part of a small group of Imperial officers, led by Grand Moff Trachta, that planned to assassinate Palpatine and take control of the galaxy for themselves. Beneath Trachta's plans, Bartam planned to eliminate Trachta and remake the Empire in his own image. However, Bartam's plans to eliminate Trachta were thwarted when Trachta shot Gauer. This allowed Trachta's agents to infiltrate Bartam's apartments and shoot Bartam in the head. Trachta was not free, however. His agent was shot and killed by one of Bartam's guards, while Trachta was executed by one of Bartam's agents.

Bartokk
This race of deadly, humanoid insects had a hive mind, and always traveled in groups of at least fifteen in order to maintain their intelligence level. Individual Bartokks were considered barely sentient, but the comboined hive mind allowed the species to operate with great efficiency. The average Bartokk was covered with a hard, black carapace, and had two legs, four arms, and razor-edged claws on each hand. One of these hands was considered the primary hand, while the others were off hands that were no less capable. Bartokks were known for their regenerative abilities, and could regrow lost limbs or even an entirely new body was given the time to heal.
Prior to the rise of Emperor Palpatine, the Bartokks designed and built their own starships, including a six-winged starfighter and spike-hulled freighter. It was during this time that Bartokks became noted for their abilities to act as assassins. Several sub-hives were employed by the Trade Federation to protect the development of the Federation's naval forces. Years later, a subhive was hired by Ambassador Yfra to kill the Solo children and Tenel Ka on Hapes. Another sub-hive agreed to join the Diversity Alliance and serve as the group's silent killers, with the goal of killing the leaders of other sub-hives in order to create a larger and larger force of Bartokk asssassins..

Bartyn, Guther
This man was one of the many descendants of Hugo Bartyn, and served as the twenty-third mayor of Bartyn's Landing during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. Many saw Guther's tenure as a new low-point in the governing of the settlement, similar in many ways to the tenure of Hugo bartyn himself. Guther lacked any charisma or personality, and seemed to have learned decorum and manners from the Hutts. Although he grated on nearly everyone he worked with, nobody had the bravery to confront him about it. Guther spent most of his time with one of his many mistresses, or working on his personal ship, the Tria Blue. After the Tria Blue was destroyed by Menahuun insurgents, Bartyn began to fear for his life, and spent much of his time hiding in the family estate, located at the foot of Mount Hugo. After a group of freelance agents were able to negotiate a peace treaty with the Menahuun, Bartyn found himself in an unenviable position. His family's history of genocide against the Menahuun was revealed, and the Outer Rim Oreworks corporation severed all ties to him and his family. Bartyn himself was forced to seal up the secret entrances to the mines, and was ordered to relinquish control of Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies. His tenure as administrator of Bartyn's Landing was brought to an end, and democractic elections were held to replace him. Although he lived peacefully for several months with the new situation, Bartyn's mind eventually snapped, and he set out to re-activate the MMV mining droids that were guarding his tunnels. The local law enforcement agency was forced to arrest Bartyn and send him to jail.
(GMR7)
Bartyn, Hugo
This man was an entrepreneur who made a name for himself some 500 years before the Galactic Civil War, when he founded Bartyn's Landing on the planet Lamaredd. A cruel man who was regarded as a pro-human bigot, Bartyn openly stated that other races and primitive species were little more than animals. His employer, Outer Rim Oreworks Corporation, saw a chance to get rid of him by assigning him to the Lamaredd operation and allowing him to run it as he saw fit. The only stipulation was that he keep credits flowing into ORO's bank accounts. This gave Bartyn the opportunity to retire in style, and he set out to remove any information on the Lamaro System from ORO's computers, which effectively made him the ruler of the system. While he ostensibly continued to work for ORO, Bartyn began amassing a huge fortune by exporting seafood from Lamaredd's oceans as part of Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies. He controlled Bartyn's Landing and the mining operations in the Lamaro System for some thirty years, before dying at the age of 84 when his hunting party disappeared. He had been hunting the native Menahuun, in an effort to remove "the vermin" from the area surrounding Bartyn's Landing. Many settlers feared that Bartyn's death would be just the beginning of a Menahuun revolt, but no overt actions ever occurred. Bartyn's descendents continued to control Bartyn's Landing and the Lamaro System for many generations, always working to keep the family businesses profitable.

Bartyn, Traggat
This man was the oldest son of Hugo Bartyn, and accompanied his father on the hunt that eventually claimed the elder Bartyn's life. Traggat was among the most trusted of Hugo's associates, and was part of the team that was assembled to figure out what was happening in the field, where strange disappearances and unusual piles of sticks were appearing around Bartyn's Landing. Hugo himself believed - correctly - that the native Menahuun were responsible, and wanted to eliminate "the little buggers." The entire hunting party, including Traggat and Hugo Bartyn, was never seen again, although bloody scraps of clothing and packs that belonged to the team were found in the jungles.
(GMR7)
Bartyn, Tria
This woman was the oldest daughter of Hugo Bartyn, and took control of Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies after the death of her father, nearly 500 years before the Battle of Yavin. It was Tria who recognized that some of her father's bigotry had manifested itself in his treatment of his workers, and she set about altering the company's policies so that the workers were freed from their indentured servitude. Because of this, she became known as "Benevolent Tria" to the descendants of the First-Wavers.
(GMR7)
Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies
This was the seafood harvesting and export business founded by Hugo Bartyn on the planet Lamaredd, some 500 years before the Galactic Civil War. The operation was originally established without the consent of Outer Rin Oreworks corporation, after Bartyn discovered the abundant life in Lamaredd's oceans. The business became extremely successful, shipping exotic and rare seafoods to Coruscant and Alderaan and many other Core Worlds. The business was passed from generation to generation after Hugo's death, and remained a leader in the export of exotic seafood.
(GMR7)
Bartyn's Landing
This settlement was founded on the planet Lamaredd, ostensibly by the survivors of a starship crashlanding. In reality, the settlement was originally the base of operations of the Outer Rim Oreworks Corporation representative Hugo Bartyn. He used his LH-3010 freighter as the starting point for the settlement, taking it apart and centering the "town" around the ship's command module. The settlement was unknown to most beings because Bartyn worked to erase any knowledge of the system from the galaxy's star charts. Spreading outward from the remains of the freighter, Bartyn's Landing eventually prospered despite Lamaredd's remote location and the lack of supplies. Since it was the location of the planet's only real spaceport, Bartyn's Landing also became the de facto capital of Lamaredd. However, the settlers came to feel that the native Menahuun were more of a nuisance than the rightful inhabitants of Lamaredd, and they tried to hunt them into extinction. The Menahuun fled into the wilderness, biding their time and gathering their strength for an eventual attack on Bartyn's Landing. When Hugo Bartyn went on his last Menahuun hunt, his entire party disappeared, and was never seen again. Control of the settlement passed down through many generations of Bartyn's descendents, each of which continued to run the family businesses with Hugo's tenacity and boldness. Over time, though, the settlement became simply known as The Landing, and only Bartyn's direct descendants used the original name.

Barvel, Vindoo "The Shooter"
This man was known as one of the best non-Jedi fighter pilots of the Clone Wars. By the end of the war, he had recorded more than thirty confirmed kills against Separatist fighters, and easily twice that number in unconfirmed hits. His skills had made several news reports, and the military leaders of the Empire decided that he would better serve them as a living hero than as a dead pilot. Barvel was retired from active duty and, although only a Captain at the time, was placed in command of the TIE Fighter pilot training facility at the Imperial City Naval Base. The only known occurrence of Barvel losing a duel was when Darth Vader arrived at ICNB and issued him a challenge. Vader matched Barvel maneuver-for-maneuver, toying with the Captain before finally defeating him.

This male Caarite served as the Metatheran Cartel's overseer of operations at the secret base they maintained on Tilnes, during the final years of the Old Republic. When the Believers unleashed their virus into the air circulation systems of the Tilnes mines, Ko Bas was one of the few Caarites who were not immediately and horribly killed by the virus. Instead of dying, Ko Bas was transformed into a massive creature who needed to feed almost constantly. In the days after the virus was released, Ko Bas and the other two surviving Caarite mutants turned to feeding on the dead bodies of their former companions. They also discovered the Believers in their hideout, and began to feed on them as well, turning their former offices in makeshift meat lockers by lowering the temperature to keep the bodies from decaying too fast. When a group of freelance agents tried to discover what had happened on Tilnes, Ko Bas recognized them as fresh meat, and attacked them at once. However, he was a lone individual against several, and he was quickly killed before he could harm them.

This Customs-grade holoscanner was designed and produced by BAS Research and Development during the height of the New Order. It resembled a small computer, but had a large viewscreen. This viewscreen was square in shape, measuring two meters on each side, and allowed security and customs officers to get a good image of the beings they were scanning. The touch-sensitive screen allowed officers to zoom in on certain areas of the being they were scanning, primarily the skeleton, digestive tract, and circulatory systems. The BAS44 could also scan packages and parcels in which contraband might be smuggled. Although the BAS44 was originally designed for use solely on Aargau, many ended up in the possession of wealthy Core Worlds beings. The BAS44 used powerful imaging scanners to allow officers to "see inside" a being, and it was found that exposure for more than a minute to the BAS44's scanners caused damage much like an energy weapon.

Basilisk
This warship was one of the four Star Destroyers stationed at the Maw Installation by Grand Moff Tarkin, during the height of the New Order. Under the command of Captain Mullinore, it was part of the fleet that was commanded by Admiral Daala, serving to protect the Maw Installation and the superweaons produced by the scientists who worked there. Seven years after the defeat of the Empire at the Battle of Endor, the Basilisk was pressed into active duty when Admiral Daala decided to strike back against the New Republic. The ship was nearly destroyed when Daala sent her Star Destroyers after the stolen Sun Crusher. Following the destruction of the Hydra, Han Solo and Kyp Durron took the superweapon through the Maw in an effort to escape, and Daala followed. They emerged into the firefight between the Kessel defense force of Moruth Doole, which was trying to apprehend Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian aboard the Millennium Falcon. A Loronar cruiser, badly damaged and burning after taking hits from the Manticore and the Gorgon, crashed into the already-damaged Basilisk, knocking out many shipboard systems and causing a hull breach. The ship was dragged back to the Maw Installation and repaired while Daala was biding her time in the Cauldron Nebula. However, just as Admiral Daala was planning a suicide attack on Coruscant, her ships were discovered by Kyp Durron. Durron had stolen the Sun Crusher, and was using it to strike back against any Imperial forces he could find. He launched a series of resonance torpedoes into the Cauldron Nebula, exploding the seven dying stars at its center. The crew of the Basilisk was unable to get the huge ship moving in time, and the explosion boiling out the Cauldron Nebula engulfed it. Captain Mullinore and all remaining crew members were killed in the explosion.

Basilisk
This planet was the site of the Battle of Basilisk, where the Jedi Master Sidrona Diath was killed, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. The native Basiliskans wanted to make sure that their planet was not conquered by either the Jedi or the Sith, so they poisoned it to make it unliveable. The planet eventually recovered, although it saw combat during the Clone Wars when the Victory Fleet engaged the Bulwark Fleet in orbit.

Basil-isk
This was the term used to describe an open-cockpit version of the Basilisk War Droid that was used by the ancient Mandalorians. The basil-isk configuration was considered the most common of all war droid models, since it gave the Mandalorian warrior a number of attack patterns and weapons options.

Basilisk War Droid
Developed by the ancient Mandalorian Crusaders, these automated attack ships were used to conquer the planets entire star systems. The Basilisk droids were bulbous, insectile war machines that could operate on their own or with the help of a Mandalorian warrior. The Mandalorians called them "war mounts," because individual warriors rode on the backs of these droids when flying into combat. There were several models of Basilisk droids produced, with individual mission profiles such as bombers, stealth ships, and open combat. Each of these ships was produced by the Basiliskans to the specifications of the Mandalorians, and were said to resemble a weird cross between a Karran beetle and a Zalorian rock-lion. The weaponry for these ships was varied, and consisted of shatter missile launchers, laser cannons, and shockwave generators. Each Basilisk war droid was a self-aware construct that was capable of forming a bond with its rider. These droids were "fed" a mixture of locap plasma and raw narcolethe, and were kept like living mounts. When a war droid died, its owner sent it into the heart of the nearest star.

Basiliskan
This race of arrogant, winged reptiloids was once native to the planet Basilisk, until they poisoned their homeworld during the Battle of Basilisk, in an attempt to keep it from falling into the hands of the Old Republic or the Sith. Over the following millennia, the Basiliskans degenerated into a feral society of creatures that eventually became known as Lagartoz War Dragons.

Basin of Torturous Flame
Known as the Ks'irasic in the Nikto language, this rift valley was located on the Korsa continent of Kintan. It was formed at the end of the Canyon of Despair by the pooling lava that flowed from the Fire River. Huge crystals of hyper-ferrofeldspar ring the Basin, formed from the "evaporation" of the lava as it flowed out of the canyon and pooled before being drawn back into the Burning Moon Range's volcanoes.

Baskalar, Yush
This man was taken from his family at an early age, when it was discovered that he had some sensitivity to The Force. He failed in his training, however, because of his inclination to be overly violent. Yush then spent much of his early years studying anything to do with science, especially droids and cybernetics, and his ability with the Force allowed him to learn things faster than most other students. When Qar Jalunn offered him the chance to do research in some questionable areas of study, Yush jumped at the chance. However, the working environment was not pleasant, and Yush had to work with the Old Republic military team stationed in the Cularin System. Yush almost left, but Qar Jalunn convinced him to stay.

Baskarn
This inhospitable jungle world was located in the Outer Rim. Baskarn was the homeworld of the Yrashu race, and was also the site of Advanced Base Baskarn, which the Alliance used as a point to make guerilla runs into Imperial territoriy. The Alliance forces who worked on Baskarn discovered that an airborne, symbiotic bacteria which was breathed in as part of normal respiration gave them the ability to breathe underwater for short periods of time. The bacteria were specific to Baskarn, and died out whenever a being let the planet. The ability to breathe water also faded.

Ba'slan shev'la
This was a Mandalorian phrase that translated literally into Basic as "strategic disapperance." The real meaning was closer to going underground in the face of an overwhelming opponent, and gaining strength until a devastating counterattack could be launched. Many Mando'a clans decided to take this approach when the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy, hiding away until the time was right to striek back at the alien invaders.

Bassadro
This volcanic planet was ravaged during the early stages of the Clone Wars, until Jedi Master Empatojayos Brand and his clone troopers managed to negotiate a surrender from Major Domb Treetor and his Separatist forces. The planet was known to have been a source of many minerals and ores, most of which were vital to the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the production of its droid armies.

Bassadro Massacre
This was the term used by Separatist historians to describe the twelve-day struggle between Separatist forces and the clone troopers led by Jedi Master Empatojayos Brand to control the Agao Range on Bassadro, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Ultimately, Master Brand chose to destroy the Separatist forces by bringing down a massive ridge of volcanic rock. The destruction, however, also took the lives of 400 independent miners. While the Republic tried to spin the events of the attack into a more positive tale, the shadowfeeds of the Confederacy of Independent Systems quickly denounced the event. The CIS reporters coined the name Bassadro Massacre, in an effort to incite the public to oppose the will of the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights.

Basso
This man was part of a militant group which supported the Alliance forces on Ralltiir, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Basso, his older brother Jiir, and their men planned to rescue Leia Organa after she was apprehended by Lord Tion. With a diversion, they also planned to have Basso deliver vital information to the Princess, which had been imprinted in his mind with a hynoptic suggestion. Their plans were nearly smashed when the Imperial stormtroopers protecting Tion shot Basso, but he managed to reach Leia and eventually recovered from his wounds. When the Tantive IV was caught by Imperial forces on Kattada, Basso agreed to help with the coordination of Leia's meager ground forces.
It was Basso who forced Leia to recognize that the war against the Empire would be bloody, no matter how much planning she did. She then decided to keep Basso safe until they could return to Alderaan, while Leia put herself in command of the battle. Later, Basso posed as a stormtrooper during the Alliance's assault on the Imperial labor colony on Kalist VI. During the mission, Basso discovered that the labor colony contained hundreds of Jabiimi slaves, working underground without a chance for freedom. Despite opposition from Able, Basso altered their plans in an effort to free as many of the slaves as possible. Despite the fact that they were discovered, 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.
When the Alliance warship Rebel One stumbled upon Bannistar Station, Basso was one of the first beings to support a dangerous plan to destroy the station. He was given command of the extraction team, which had to steal an Imperial shuttle in order to provide an escape vessel for the rest of the team.

Bassot, Hirib
This being was a minor political pundit who was hired by the HoloNet News and Entertainment corporation to host the Facing Facts program. A self-proclaimed expert on current affairs, Bassot spent one entire episode ranting against the glut of information that was available to the galactic citizen. His commentary spoke of the trillions of words that each being was forced to wade through each day, in search of the small pieces of information that mattered most to them. The rest of the information, from sports scores and public interest pieces to corporate strategies and reports on governmental action, was simply ignored. Bassot ended the program by claiming that, one day, the galaxy would die of voluntary ignorance. Shortly after this episode, Facing Facts was canceled, apparently due to poor ratings. Bassot refused to remove himself from the public eye, and was quite vocal with his questioning of the propaganda that was distributed by the Galactic Republic. He openly questioned the number of battle droids that reportedly made up the Separatist army, claiming that any army that supposedly numbered in the quadrillions would have no problem overruning the worlds of the Republic. Bassot went so far as to question the intelligence of the Republic's leaders, claiming that they were either idiots, or simply inflating the number in order to justify the war. Shortly before the First Battle of Coruscant, Bassot was found dead in his apartments, apparently from an overdose of contaminated glitterstim spice.

Bast, Moradmin
A native of Dutra-Kahn, this man served the Imperial Army as a General, and was assigned as an aide to Grand Moff Tarkin aboard the first Death Star. Bast was well-known for his ability to correctly estimate an enemy's capabilities, something he learned while hunting big game as a youth. It was Bast who notified Tarkin of the threat posed to the Death Star by the Alliance snubfighters. Although Tarkin refused to evacuate the station, Bast was one of the handful of personnel who managed to reach an escape vessel before Luke Skywalker destroyed the battle station.
He returned to Imperial service as a spy, and was promptly given intense cosmetic and genetic surgery to give him the appearance of a male Twi'lek. Bast was then placed in charge of ferretting out Han Solo's criminal network, in an effort to catch the man who helped bring about the end of the Death Star and the death of Governor Tarkin. After being waylayed and stranded on Tansarii Station, his investigations led him to Tatooine, where he found himself continually focused on the criminal organization of Jabba the Hutt.

Bast Castle
Located on the planet Vjun, Bast Castle was built as Darth Vader's personal retreat during the height of the New Order. Like the surrounding landscape, the exterior of Bast Castle was dark and forbidding, with only two entrances. The front entrance was heavily guarded by automated defense systems, while the rear entrance forces invaders to scale nearly vertical stairs in the midst of some of Vjun's worst weather. These stairs spiraled into and out of the rocky cliffs, and footing at the higher levels was made more treacherous at the temperature dropped below the freezing point.
The central structure of the castle was domed and heavily armored, with a tall tower at its center. In stark contrast to the castle's exterior, the polished stone floors and walls were kept warm by a combination of geothermal and automated power sources. Automated heating systems blew warmed air across the main entry hall, which served to dry the clothing of any being who entered the castle. Hidden within the walls of the castle were two of Vader's most prized possessions: the Jedi Holocron of Asli Krimsan, and the lightsaber used by Obi-Wan Kenobi at the time of his death.
After the Battle of Endor, the castle was controlled by Imperial supporters who had learned of its location. The reborn Emperor Palpatine - living in one of the many clones grown on Byss - used the castle as the headquarters for his Dark Jedi. Sedriss was the first to occupy it, and erected a large, black statue of Vader in one of the castle's anterooms. With the continued growth of the New Republic and the loss of power by the Empire's remaining supporters, Bast Castle was eventually abandoned in favor of more strategic - and more hospitable - locations.
Its location, and the rumors of Kenobi's lightsaber, came to the attention of Jedi Master Tionne some years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, during one of her missions to seek out Jedi lore. She obtained information on Borgo Prime, as did the mage known as Orloc. Both reached the Castle at about the same time.

Bastion
This Imperial-II class Star Destroyer served as the flagship for the fleet commanded by Captain Brannij, who was under orders from Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne. During the Battle of Kathol, the Bastion and the Raptor were called in to protect Kathol from New Republic forces, which were led by the Kursk Mal'ia and the Bothan Combat Response Element. The combined firepower of the two Star Destroyers began to turn the battle in the Empire's favor, but the death of DarkStryder and the defeat of Moff Sarne left the Imperial fleet without leadership. The Bastion took heavy damage, until Captain Brannij realized that Sarne was only worried about saving himself. Breaking off his service to Sarne, Brannij ordered the Bastion's guns to fire on the launch gate which orbited Kathol, destroying the gate and robbing Sarne of any hope of re-establishing the gates. Once Sarne was defeated, Brannij took the Bastion and the remaining Imperial ships and fled into hyperspace.
(KR, E)
Bastion
This planet was the capital world of the Sartinayian System and Braxant Sector, and served as the political heart of the Empire in the dark times following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Its true name and location were secrets that were kept well-hidden by the Empire. During the years following Thrawn's death, Bastion and the Empire were controlled by Moff Disra, who retained control during the continued rise in power of the New Republic. It was on Bastion that the surviving Moffs met with Admiral Pellaeon to discuss a possible peace treaty with the Republic.
After the Imperial Remnant was formed and allowed to exist outside the Republic, the capital of the Empire was centered on Bastion for many years. During the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the planet and the Empire remained untouched for many years. Once the Yuuzhan Vong were soundly defeated at the Battle of Ebaq, they began to turn their attention to the systems they had passed. Among them was the area of space controlled by the Imperial Remnant.
Bastion was attacked first, and the Empire was completely unable to defend itself. Bastion fell almost immediately, as the Yuuzhan Vong fleet decimated the Imperial warships and destroyed the planet's surface. In the decades following the invasion, the Imperial Remnant reclaimed Bastion and reformed it, once again establishing the planet as the center of the new Empire. The Imperials installed some of the galaxy's most advanced weaponry across the planet, ensuring that no outside force would ever take control of Bastion again. However, when Darth Krayt usurped control of the galaxy from Emperor Roan Fel, the capital of the galaxy was moved to Coruscant. Bastion was left on its own, although the Imperial presence on the planet was forced to pledge fealty to Darth Krayt's New Empire.
Some portions of the planet's surface experienced a false night for several weeks each year, when the sun didn't fully set below the horizon.

Bastra, Gil
This acquaintence of Kirtan Loor once ridiculed Loor for using skirtopanol on an Alliance captive, even though the prisoner was known to have used lotiramine. Bastra was a member of the Corellian Security agency at the time, and was in charge of assigning Imperial Intelligence agents to Loor and other operatives. Bastra's low opinion of Loor led him to assign the worst agents to assist Loor, a fact that was not lost upon Loor. Before that, Bastra was a business partner with Corran Horn's father. He worked with Corran, Iella and Diric Wessiri, and a number of other Alliance supporters. When he needed to hide them from Imperial eyes, Bastra and Corran Horn created false identification records for a group of smugglers. Then, in a staged confrontation, Bastra accused Horn of killing the smugglers in cold blood. Thus, they all managed to flee Imperial control. When Bastra defected, he led Loor on a merry goosechase across the galaxy, feeding Loor enough clues to keep him on Bastra's trail. This suited Bastra fine, because it drew Loor away from the locations of the others in his group. When Loor finally captured Bastra, he savagely interrogated him but got no information. Bastra finally died under the strain of the interrogation.

Batch was noted his bold attempt to locate stygian crystals, when he took command of the Tarkin superweapon and used it to blast apart the planet Aeten II, releasing the crystals hidden beneath its crust. After the Alliance discovered the Imdaar Alpha facility and destroyed Batch's flagship, the Terror, Batch took the rest of Admiral Sarn's forces and fled into the Outer Rim. Unfortunately, the crew remained loyal to Sarn, and Batch was assassinated by his second-in-command, who took the Admiral's fleet and joined Warlord Harrsk.

Batross, Billal
This man worked as a small-time smuggler, during the height of the New Order. Billal grew up with Han Solo aboard the Trader's Luck, working for Garris Shrike. However, where Solo managed to find some measure of success, Billal was relegated to small-time crimes. Even when Solo managed to get into the Imperial Academy, and found a way to bring Billal with him, Billal could not muster up the courage to enter flight school, despite the fact that Billal was an excellent pilot. He took up a life of smuggling and other minor felonies, and eventually got himself into credit troubles with Sollima. Without a way to pay off his debts, Billal was forced to take on whatever jobs the crimelord threw his way, and so Billal was excited when Sollima explained that an accounting droid from the Hollow Moon casino was missing. Billal suggested that Sollima could give him a chance to pay off his debts by locating the droid. When Billal learned that Han Solo was also in debt to Sollima, he further added that Solo and the Millennium Falcon would be invaluable on the mission. Once the pair were able to locate the droid at the Imperial garrison on Moog Mot VI, Billal drew his weapon and destroyed the droid's body. Solo railed at him, since the conditions of his deal with Sollima required the the droid be returned intact. It was then that Billal explained that it had been he who sold the droid to the Imperials, in order to cover up the fact that he had been skimming credits from Sollima's accounts for some time. Billal tried to placate Solo by explaining that he would tell Sollima that the Imperials had shot droid, but Solo would have none of it, especially when their presence in the garrison was discovered. When Solo tried to make his escape, Billal simply surrendered them both to the Imperials, who planned to interrogate them. While Solo resisted the torture, Billal spilled his guts at the first threat of pain, explaining to Captain Taavin about their mission. Taavin, however, offered them a choice between imprisonment and helping the Imperials arrest Sollima. They took the option to help the Imperials, and during the return trip to the Hollow Moon, the two men got into an argument when Billal blithely hoped to scam a few more credits from Sollima before turning him over the Imperials. Solo questioned why Billal always seemed to take the easy route, even though it ended up costing him more in the end. Billal had no response, other than to explain that he was trying his best. Their return to the Hollow Moon coincided with Chewbacca's slave revolt, allowing them to complete their bargain with Taavin without much effort. The pair then confronted Sollima and demanded that their debts be cleared. Sollima agreed, provided that they helped him escape from the Hollow Moon before the Imperials took over. The group, reunited with Chewbacca, blasted away from the moon in the Millennium Falcon, although Solo soon placed Sollima in an escape pod and jettisoned him as soon as possible, stating that they had honored their end of the bargain by getting him away from the moon. The fact that they jettisoned Sollima in the midst of the Imperial fleet was not their concern. Batross, for his part, believed that he was now part of Solo's team, and was therefore unprepared when Solo abandoned him on a nearby world, where Batross was forced to spend a great deal of time among a colony of Hoojibs.

Battalions of Zhell
This was the name given to the combined military and political forces of the thirteen tribes of the Zhell, an ancient race of humans who evolved on the planet Coruscant during the millennia before the formation of the Old Republic. The Battalions of Zhell were subjugated by the Taungs, when a volcanic eruption nearly wiped out the human race, but they eventually fought back and won their independence from the Taungs.

This was the command unit of the Grand Army of the Republic that oversaw the orders given to clone trooper units in the field. Led by Jedi Master Iri Camas, the BGC was charged with ensuring that units were successfully deployed and utilized to achieve the military goals of the Old Republic. Being based on Coruscant, however, Master Camas and his team were often unaware of the exact conditions on the battlefield, and were forced to make decisions based on incomplete information.
(RCTZ)
Battle Group of Yun-Harla
This was one of the five primary Yuuzhan Vong naval forces which were deployed by the Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, to attack the New Republic base on Ebaq 9. Like the Battle Group of Yun-Yuuzhan, this group was held in reserve by the Warmaster until the flow of the battle could be discerned. Unfortunately, the New Republic had laid an excellent trap for the alien invaders at Ebaq, and the Warmaster's battle groups took heavy damage. The Battle Groups of Yun-Harla and Yun-Txiin took the brunt of the damage, and leapt into hyperspace to escape. However, the New Republic had mined the only hyperspace route away from Ebaq, setting out explosive mines as well as interdictor mines, and both battle groups were dragged out of hyperspace into another Republic ambush. As more and more Yuuzhan Vong warships exited hyperspace, the mines found more than enough targets among the Yun-Harla and Yun-Txiin battle groups, which were torn to pieces. The commanders of the two groups were able to send out warnings to the remaining Yuuzhan Vong forces, but only provided minimal warning.
(DW)
Battle Group of Yun-Q'aah
This was one of the five primary Yuuzhan Vong naval forces which were deployed by the Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, to attack the New Republic base on Ebaq 9. Like the gods they were named after, the Yun-Txiin and Yun-Q'aah battle groups worked as a team to try and outflank the enemy. The plan of the Warmaster did not consider any possible subterfuge by the Republic, and thus they battle groups were unprepared for the multiple ambushes staged by the Republic's warships. The Yun-Q'aah battle group fled into hyperspace shortly after the Yun-Txiin battle group escaped, and received the warning of interdictor mines just before the fleet hit them. Because the Yun-Q'aah battle group had taken little damage during the Battle of Ebaq, most of its ships managed to avoid the mines or absorb damage and escape back to Yuuzhan Vong-controlled space.
(DW)
Battle Group of Yun-Txiin
This was one of the five primary Yuuzhan Vong naval forces which were deployed by the Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, to attack the New Republic base on Ebaq 9. Like the gods they were named after, the Yun-Txiin and Yun-Q'aah battel groups worked as a team to try and outflank the enemy. The Battle Groups of Yun-Txiin and Yun-Harla took the brunt of the damage, and leapt into hyperspace to escape. However, the New Republic had mined the only hyperspace route away from Ebaq, setting out explosive mines as well as interdictor mines, and both battle groups were dragged out of hyperspace into another Republic ambush. As more and more Yuuzhan Vong warships exited hyperspace, the mines found more than enough targets among the Yun-Txiin and Yun-Harla battle groups, which were torn to pieces. The commanders of the two groups were able to send out warnings to the remaining Yuuzhan Vong forces, but only provided minimal warning.
(DW)
Battle Group of Yun-Yammka
This was one of the five primary Yuuzhan Vong naval forces which were deployed by the Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, to attack the New Republic base on Ebaq 9. This group was the first to attack the New Republic's forces, drawing initial fire and allowing the Battle Groups of Yun-Txiin and Yun-Q'aah to try and outflank the enemy. However, the reserve forces of the Republic pounced on the battle group, and Tsavong Lah was forced to use the Yun-Yammka battle group as a sacrifice. He ordered the group's warships into all-out attacks designed to disrupt the enemy, thereby giving the other battle groups a chance to survive. When the Yuuzhan Vong fleets were ordered to retreat, the Yun-Yammka group was too near Ebaq to make the jump into hyperspace. All ships in the Yun-Yammka fleet were destroyed by the New Republic.
(DW)
Battle Group of Yun-Yuuzhan
This was one of the five primary Yuuzhan Vong naval forces which were deployed by the Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, to attack the New Republic base on Ebaq 9. Like the Battle Group of Yun-Harla, this group was held in reserve by the Warmaster until the flow of the battle could be discerned. The Yun-Yuuzhan battle group was personally commanded by the Warmaster, and was sent into the fray to work with the Yun-Txiin and Yun-Q'aah battle groups when the New Republic brought in its reserve forces. When the tide turned toward the Republic, Tsavong Lah saw his own forces shredded in the pincers of the trap devised by Admiral Ackbar. A retreat was ordered, but the Yuuzhan Vong found the only hyperspace escape route mined by the Republic. The Yun-Yuuzhan battle group lost only a third of its ships, but most of those were transports loaded with warriors. The Warmaster then ordered the Yun-Yuuzhan battle group into an all-out assault on Ebaq 9. Using what little ground assault strength he had, the Warmaster hoped to capture the Jedi Knights on the moon and sacrifice them to the True Gods, in the hopes of gaining their favor and assistance in the battle. He was betrayed by the former Jedi Knight Vergere, who managed to crash her starship into Ebaq 9 and vent its atmopshere.

Battle Lance
This Imperial II-class Star Destroyer was one of the first vessels to be equipped with a new hypermatter reactor core, during the early years of the New Order. When a weapon onboard the ship backfired accidentally during the ship's shakedown voyage, the resulting blast tore through the hypermatter reactor, setting off an explosion that killed all aboard. Among the dead was Tenn Graneet's nephew, Hora Graneet.
(DSTR)
Battle Legionnaire
This was considered the pinnacle of the combat droids produced for the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. Known as the BL-series, these green-plated combat droids were similar in appearance to many protocol droids, but any further similarities ended there. Inside the chest cavity, the BL-series was armed with a Briletto AAP-II blaster box. The cranium of the BL-series contained signal jammers and other communications systems. These battle droids were also capable of interfacnig with Mandalorian battle harnesses, which turned the battle droid into a mobile weapons platfor. Produced by Baktoid Combat Automata, these droids were highly maneuverable and deceptively strong, and were often placed on the front lines of battlefields to soften up an opposing army. Only 1,000 of these droids were ever produced, and many were lost in the failed assassination attempt on the life of Padme' Amidala on Norval II. Many others were used to augment the Mandalorian Protectors who supported the Separatists during the Battle of New Bornalex, and met similar fates. Only a handful of BL-series droids survived the Clone Wars.
(SWI80, NEGD)
Battle Meditation
This was a skill that was mastered by only a handful of powerful Force users, although it was not limited to either the Jedi Knights or the Sith. The modern use of this technique was more common among the Jedi Knights, but historians believed that the technique originated with the ancient Sith, who used it as much to coordinate their own battles as they did to terrorize their enemies.
Battle meditation involved one or more individuals concentrating on the general flow and the outcome of a battle. When the Force user pictured the battle in his or her mind, they could then anticipate the general flow of combat, and use their formidable skills to influence the outcome of the fighting. Among the Jedi, battle meditation was used to project the image of a battle to all participants in the battle, bolstering the forces allied with the Jedi while reducing the opponent's conviction. The Sith form of the technique was more about intimidation, as Sith Masters were able to sow the seeds of doubt and despair in the minds of the enemy, while magnifying the smallest errors into a cascade of overwhelming mistakes. The Jedi Master Thon could do this, and so could Nomi Sunrider.
Luke Skywalker found a volume dedicated to the technique when he discovered the ancient Jedi library on Ossus. A combined form of this technique was known as the battle-meld, in which a group of Jedi Knights linked their minds into the flow of the meditation, thereby enhancing their ability to affect the course of the battle. While in the battle-meld, the participating Jedi Knights could anticipate each other's actions, allowing them to work in concert to achieve a faster end to the fighting. However, it was discovered by Cilghal and Jaina Solo that prolonged exposure to the battle-meld could weaken the boundaries of one's mind, leading to a blurring of individuality and unwanted sharing of emotions. Cilghal's investigation revealed that the meld caused an individual's hypothalmus to become enlarged and hypersensitive, causing the meld to become more like a telepathic link.
Continued use of the meld caused similar changes to the rest of the limbic system, allowing the beings in the link to experience each other's emotions. Once the entire corpus callosum had been altered, the individuals in the battle-meld could literally communicate by mingling their Force auras created around their bodies. The result of this prolonged exposure to the meld was that the Jedi involved were unable to distinguish their own thoughts and feelings from those of the other Jedi in the link, creating a sort of hive mind among the group.
(TOJ, DE2, DN1, DBPD)
Battle Mind
This was the term used by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic to describe a personal form of battle meditation. Where the battle meditation technique involved several Force users working together, battle mind was simply the mental focus a lone Jedi developed when in combat. It allowed them to center their actions in the Force, allowing the Force guide them through the fighting.
(LJ7)
Battle Net
This was a generic term used to describe any military communications network that allowed the starships on one side of a battle to talk amongst themselves. The battle net was often open to any starship with a friendly IFF transponder code, which allowed civilian and corporate starships to also listen into battlezone communications and make their own decisions about lifting off.

Battle of Almak
This was the name used by historians to describe the Empire's subjugation of the planet Almak and its indigienous species, the Leffingites, during the height of the New Order. The Battle of Almak was one of the first conflicts in which the AT-AT walker was used. Imperial forces led by Commander Nahdonnis Praji were able to put down any Leffingite resistance, and quickly assumed control of Almak.
(OWS)
Battle of Altyr V
This was one of the many battles that were fought during the Clone Wars. The forces of the Old Republic were nearly defeated, when the Jedi Master who was leading their assault was killed. Only the timely improvisation of clone commander Deviss saved the day, as he rallied his remaining forces to destroy a key Separatist ion cannon. Without the weapon, the Separatist forces were unable to prevent an orbital bombardment, and the Republic was able to retake the planet.
(SWI84)
Battle of Anaxes
This was one of the many battles that took place during the Clone Wars. It was notable as the final clash between the Old Republic's Victory Fleet and the Separatist task force known as the Bulwark Fleet. The Victory Fleet entered the battle with just half of its ships in the fight, led by Jan Dodonna. Dodonna matched up as well as he could against Dua Ningo's forces, but appeared to be losing badly when the second half of the Victory Fleet, led by Terrinald Screed, entered the fray. Although Screed's ships also took heavy damage, the combined Republic forces finally destroyed Ningo's flagship and secured Anaxes for the Republic.

Battle of Antar 4
This battle took place some nine years after the Battle of Naboo, and marked the first struggle in which a world tried to secede from the Old Republic. The battle was initiated by the Gotal guerilla group known as Roshu Sune, and was meant to force the planetary government of Antar 4 to secede from the Republic. The Jedi Knights were called in to help settle the dispute, but were soundly denounced in the news and media for their inability to prevent the battle. The outcome of the battle was considered bloody by even the most minimal of standards, and left the Gotal populace of Antar 4 badly injured.

(NEGC)
Battle of Atraken
This was the name given to one of the early battles of the Clone Wars, in which the Old Republic battled the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems for control of the planet's doonium resources. When the battle for Atraken, codenamed Operation Katabatic by the Army of the Republic, turned toward the Republic, Separatist forces located in underground bunkers unleashed a series of biochemical weapons against the Republic's clone troopers. While the clone troopers were prepared for the chemicals, the general populace of Atraken was not. Operation Katabatic was considered a tactical success for the Old Republic, since the Separatist forces were eventually eliminated. However, it was estimated that ninety percent of Atraken's civilian population was killed during the battle and the subsequent chemical bombardment.
(SWI67)
Battle of Axion
This was one of the many battles that took place during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Four months after the Battle of Geonosis, a Colicoid scientist who had been working for the Separatists was exiled to the Fortress of Axion by his peers. The scientist, believed to have been the mastermind behind the design of the protodekas, became the target of a rescue mission that was launched by the Grand Army of the Republic. The clone troopers led by Commander Brolis were swiftly defeated by Separatist battle droids, and only the timely intervention of Jedi Master Yoda saved Brolis' life. The rescue was deemed a failure, and Axion remained in the hands of the Separatists.
(NECH)
Battle of Azure Spaceport
This was the name given to the brief conflict that erupted on the planet Azure, during the height of the Clone Wars. Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Siri Tachi, along with Padawan Anakin Skywalker and Senator Padme' Amidala, escorted Talesan Fry to Azure, after Fry agreed to turn over his foolproof codebreaker to the Old Republic. However, a tracer device had been installed in the codebreaker by Helina Dow, allowing the Separatists for track the device to Azure. From the Republic's secret base at Azure Spaceport, a meager defense was established to protect the planet from a huge Separatist fleet. The Republic's forces were badly outnumbered, and were forced to cede control of the planet for a brief time. General Solomahal, the commander of the Republic's base, was forced to destroy the codebreaker just before he was taken captive, ensuring that the device didn't fall into the hands of the Separatists. An exploding fusion generator then provided enough cover for the Republic's remaining forces to evacuate Azure.

Battle of Bakura
Prior to the Battle of Endor, the Emperor Palpatine made a deal with an alien race known as the Ssi-ruuk. In exchange for enteched battle droids for the Imperial fleet, the Emperor would give the aliens the human subjects they needed to entech. He provided the location of the planet Bakura, which the Ssi-ruuk attacked just prior to the Battle of Endor. The Alliance, fresh from the defeat of the Emperor, recovered an Imperial distress signal, and went to Bakura in an effort to help the now-displaced Imperials. An uneasy truce developed between the Alliance's team and the Imperials, which was almost undone by internal treachery. The combined forces overcame this, however, and were able to soundly defeat the Ssi-ruuk and drive them back to their part of the universe. Many of the Imperials renounced their commissions to join the new-formed Republic.

Battle of Basilisk
This ancient battle between the Light and Dark Sides of the Force resulted in the death of Jedi Master Sidrona Diath. In order to ensure that neither side took control of their planet, the native Basiliskans poisoned the entire planet.
(DLS, SWI80)
Battle of Bassadro
This was the name given to assume control of the mineral resources of the planet Bassadro, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Conferedacy of Independent Systems, also known as the Separatists, had taken over control of Bassadro, hoping to secure its resources for the production of its droid armies. However, Old Republic clone troopers led by Jedi Master Empatojayos Brand were able to use concussion missiles to destroy CIS emplacements in the obsidian caverns of the Agao Range, wiping out most of the droid army stationed there. Separatist Major Domb Treetor was utterly defeated, and eventually surrendered Bassadro to Brand and the Republic.
(SWI65)
Battle of Bastion
Shortly after the Battles of Coruscant and Ebaq, the Yuuzhan Vong began to realize that the New Republic was a threat to their conquest of the galaxy. However, their resources were spread thinly across the galaxy, and the new Warmaster Nas Choka decided that it would be prudent to eliminate any smaller threats before launching another offensive against the Republic. In a series of bold moves, the Yuuzhan Vong backtracked along their invasion paths and began eliminating any force they deemed dangerous. After utterly destroying the Yevethan civilization, they turned their attention to the Imperial Remnant. The Moff Council had long believed that they were not going to be attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong, simply because the alien invaders had passed them by. This logic was faulty, but the Imperials doggedly held to the reasoning that the Empire would have soundly defeated the Yuuzhan Vong before a full-scale invasion could have started. Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, however, didn't believe this for a second. He knew that the Empire had been defeated by the "rag-tag rebels" of the Alliance, and would have been no match for the war-loving Yuuzhan Vong. His words fell on deaf ears, however, and the Moff Council chose to ignore the Yuuzhan Vong. This proved to be their downfall when the Yuuzhan Vong suddenly attacked Bastion and Muunilinst. In a bold move, small fleets were dispatched to both Imperial worlds, and met with token resistance from unprepared defense fleets. Despite the efforts of Pellaeon, Bastion fell swiftly, as did Muunilinst. In short order, the Battle of Bastion was over, and Imperial forces were fleeing toward Yaga Minor.
(FH1)
Battle of Belderone
This battle was one of the multitude that took place during the Clone Wars. The brief battle ensued when the Old Republic's Intelligence agency learned that General Grievous was planning to move the leaders of the Confederacy of Independent Systems to Belderone, and launched a task force to capture them. The fighting was intense, and the Republic later claimed a resounding victory, but the various Separatist leaders were spirited away from the planet by Grievous. During the fighting, General Grievous was believed to have killed at least twenty-seven Jedi Knights.

(DW)
Battle of Borleias
This was the name given to the New Republic's stand at Borleias, in the wake of the loss of Coruscant to the Yuuzhan Vong. After Senator Pwoe appointed himself Chief of State, he ordered Wedge Antilles to hold Borleias temporarily, using it as a base to strike at the Yuuzhan Vong while the Advisory Council fled to safety. Wedge followed only the outline of this order, instead planning to use Borleias as a place to strike hard at the Yuuzhan Vong. A series of subterfuges - the development of the pipefighter and Operation Starlancer, the development of Jaina Solo as Yun-Harla incarnate - all served to focus a large portion of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet on Borleias. When the Republic felt that it was ready, and enough of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet was array in the Pyria System, Wedge launched his assault. The Yuuzhan Vong forced, led by Czulkang Lah, were unprepared for the Republic's assault, the their fleet was decimated. Although Borleias was eventually lost again to the alien invaders, the Republic was successful in taking out a large portion of the Yuuzhan Vong navy.
(DW, EL1, EL2)
Battle of Borosk
This was the name given to the defense of the planet Borosk by the Imperial Remnant, against the Yuuzhan Vong forces that decimated the Empire at the Battle of Bastion. Using information and tactics that had been supplied by the Galactic Alliance, Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon managed to rally the remaining Imperial fleet to defend Borosk, repelling the advance of B'shith Vorrik's forces and driving them out of Imperial space.
(FH1)
Battle of Bothawui
This was one of the key battles of the Great Galactic War. Occurring some 3,671 years before the Battle of Yavin, the Battle of Bothawui took place after ten years of fighting between the newly-emerged Sith Empire and the combined forces of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Knights. At this point in the fighting, the Sith had started to win more battles, and the Republic was becoming worried about their chances. Emboldened by success and convinced of the superiority of the Sith, the Sith Emperor launched a series of attacks meant to penetrate to the Mid Rim and into the Core Worlds. Recognizing that the Sith were moving closer to the Core, the Republic devised a bold strategy for the defense of the planet, staging a huge fleet near the planet and then waiting for the Sith to arrive. Once joined, the battle raged on both on the planet and in orbit, and the sacrifices of the Republic's forces became the stuff of legends. In the end, the Sith were utterly defeated, and morale throughout the Republic's military ranks increased greatly after the resounding victory.
In order to ensure the safety of the Bothans, Jedi Master Belth Allusis and a small task force remained behind on Bothawui. They discovered that the Sith had not left Bothawui behind, and were amassing another fleet to exact their revenge. Led by Grand Moff Zellos, the Sith returned to Bothawui in force, and nearly overran Master Allusis and his small task force. However, the Jedi and their 4,000 troops fought bravely, and gave their last breaths in an all-out struggle to drive off the Sith. In the end, every Jedi and Republic soldier had been killed, but the Sith had also been forced to retreat and lick their wounds. The Battle of Bothawui had become a draw, but the Republic tried to make the best of it. Master Allusis and this troops were portrayed as heroes, hoping to maintain the increase in morale that had started after the first phase of the battle. Unfortunately, the Sith analyzed their loss at Bothawui and began changing their tactics, forcing the Republic to also adjust in order to maintain its momentum.
(SWORW)
Battle of Bothawui
This conflict ravaged parts of the planet Bothawui, during the height of the Clone Wars. The forces of the Grand Army of the Republic we led by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakins Skywalker, but were tired from previous battles and were badly outnumbered by Separatist battle droids. Skywalker urged his former Master to keep up the fighting, while Kenobi wanted to retreat and regroup. In space above the planet, Republic warships were forced to confront a huge Separatist fleet, forcing Skywalker to put together a daring plan for victory. Instead of deploying more ground forces, Skywalker had the Republic's AT-TEs deployed on the asteroids that protected the planet. When General Grievous arrived with the Separatist fleet, they moved through the asteroids to reach the planet, unaware that their actions allowed the AT-TEs to outflank them. Rather than be destroyed in a crossfire, Grievous ordered a retreat, allowing the Republic to maintain control of Bothawui.

Battle of Boz Pity
This was one of the final battles of the Clone Wars. The Grand Army of the Republic was led by Jedi Master Quinlan Vos on the ground, and commander Denn Wessex from space, and their combined firepower eventually overwhelmed the Separatist forces on the planet.
(SWI84)
Battle of Brentaal
This was one of the many battles that took place during the Clone Wars. The Old Republic spent a great deal of its resources maintaining access to the galaxy, and Brentaal IV was located at the galactic crossroads of the Perlemian Trade Route and the Hydian Way. Thus, when Shogar Tok tried to incite the natives to join the Separatists, the Republic feared that the loss of Brentaal would cut off a large portion of the galaxy. A small fleet of warships, led by Jedi Masters Plo Koon, Shaak Ti, and Agen Kolar was dispatched to Brentaal IV, and were immediately fired on by Shogar Tok's forces. The resulting firefight led to the destruction of several Republic warships, and nearly ended in the deaths of the Jedi Masters. However, Shaak Ti managed to recruit a number of political prisoners to help her bring down Brentaal's planetary shield, and Plo Koon was able to use his naval forces to eliminate any resistance. Shogar Tok was killed in the fighting, and Brentaal IV remained a part of the Old Republic.
(YDR, NECH)
Battle of Brentaal
One of the first major skirmishes in which Rogue Squadron was instrumental, the fledgling New Republic managed to defeat Imperial forces and take control of the planet Brentaal. When Imperial Admiral Lon Isoto offered no direct resistance, Rogue Squadron took control the moon Brentaal IV, from which it could stage the liberation of Brentaal. The only serious resistance they got was from the 181st Imperial Fighter Group led by Soontir Fel, but the Rogues were able to defeat Fel and the control of Brentaal itself.

Battle of Byblos
This was one of the many battles that occurred during the Clone Wars. Prior to the acutal fighting, ARC Troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic hid inside a group of SRT droids to infiltrate Separatist-held territory, allowing the Republic to launch their attacks from within and outside Separatist positions.
(NEGD)
Battle of Caamas
This was considered to be the final battle between the Galactic Alliance and the New Empire led by Roan Fel, some 130 years after the Battle of Yavin. Occurring just days before the Massacre at Ossus, the Battle of Caamas served to draw the Galactic Alliance's forces into a large group, in an effort to defend the planet from attack. This allowed the Imperial forces under the command of Admiral Morlish Veed to overwhelm the Galactic Alliance fleet, which was forced to surrender in order to prevent further loss of life. The loss of its fleet left the Galactic Alliance unable to fully defend the capital world of Coruscant, and the Empire was able to swiftly assume control of the galaxy.
What few beings realized was that the Empire's forces had been augmented by the Sith, who were led by Darth Krayt. Krayt knew that, if Coruscant were to fall to the New Empire, then the Jedi Order would retreat to Ossus. In this way, he was able to trap a great number of Jedi on Ossus, where they were swiftly eliminated in the Massacre at Ossus.
(SWLA)
Battle of Cadinth
This was one of the many skirmishes between the forces of the New Republic and the surviving Imperial armed forces, during the years following the Battle of Endor. Occurring about two years after Endor, the Battle of Cadinth saw Imperial forces launch a massive attack against the Republic Core Base on Cadinth using AP-series attack droids as their primary foot soldiers. The forces of the New Republic were overrun by the Imperials, forcing the Republic to retreat and plan its own mission to retake the spaceport planet.

This was one of the Galactic Empire's first victories against a major opponent, during the early years of the New Order. Although the battle was over, Darth Vader ordered Juno Eclipse and the Black Eight Squadron to continue their bombing runs. When Eclipse questioned the order, Vader appeared to back down and issue new orders. Eclipse was ordered to eliminate the primary power generator on the planet, and completed the mission with the belief that the planet's inhabitants could recover from a power outage. However, Vader had been merely deflecting Eclipse's doubt, for the explosion of the power generator caused massive destruction of the planet's ecosystem. Polluted containment waters and chemicals were released into the water table, and deadly gases were released into the atmosphere as the generator was destroyed. Within hours, a runaway chain reaction of environmental destruction swept across the planet, rendering Callos a wasteland. It was later learned that the destruction of Callos was meant to serve as an example of what would happen to other worlds that dared to defy the Empire.

Battle of Chabosh
This was the name given to the Imperial rout of Alliance forces on the planet Chabosh, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. It was famous mainly because of the heriosm of then-Captain Harsh, the Imperial military officer who survived the front-line battle and made a full recovery from injuries which would have killed a regular man.

Battle of Champala
Admiral Ackbar commanded the New Republic Star Destroyer Guardian in this skirmish against Admiral Pelleaon shortly after the resolution of the Black Fleet Crisis.
(NEGC)
Battle of Christophsis
This battle took place during the height of the Clone Wars. The battle pitted General Whorm Loathsom against a force of clone troopers led by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. The Republic's forces had been warned of the Separatist invasion of Christophsis by Bothan spies, which gave the Republic time to plan their mission. Although the clone troopers led into battle by the Jedi were badly outnumbered, the opening stages of the battle went the way of the Republic's forces. It was in the midst of the fighting that Skywalker first met his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano. Tano had been dispatched to Christophsis to relay the news that reinforcements were not ready to arrive yet, and to recall Kenobi to Coruscant for a briefing on a mission to rescue Rotta the Hutt. Although the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic were able to take control of the planet during the first stages of the fighting, General Loathsom launched a massive counterattack, hoping to take advantage of the Republic's initial victory. Skywalker and Tano managed to sneak into Separatist territory and disable the shield that was protecting Loathsom's droid armies, allowing the Republic's forces to finally defeat Loathsom.

Battle of Corbos
This battle between the Jedi Knights and the Dark Jedi of the Old Republic occurred 6,900 years before the Battle of Yavin, and signalled the end of the Hundred-Year Darkness. It was on Corbos that a group of Dark Jedi made their final stand against the Jedi Order, but they were utterly defeated in combat. The few Dark Jedi who survived, including Ajunta Pall, were driven deep into the Outer Rim Territories, and it was believed that this further exile brought the Dark Jedi to the planet Korriban and into contact with the ancient Sith race.

Battle of Cyphar
This was the name used to describe the battle that was waged between the Old Republic and Count Dooku's Storm Fleet, in the space above the planet Cyphar, during the height of the Clone Wars. Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi had discovered the existence of the Storm Fleet near the Kronex spaceport, and alerted the Republic to its presence near Cyphar. This early warning allowed Republic warships to arrive at Cyphar and destroy almost half of the Storm Fleet's vessel. This victory also allowed Cyphar to remain a free port during the Clone Wars.
(NECH)
Battle of Daluuj
This battle occurred shortly after the Empire made its first attack on the planet Mon Calamari. Admiral Ackbar and his troops fled their homeworld and tried to rendezvous with the Alliance, but they were attacked by Imperial cruisers. Ackbar and his people fled their ship in escape pods, many of which landed on Daluuj. They were later rescued by Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia Organa, after the Imperial forces that converged on Daluuj were defeated.
(VIS)
Battle of Dantooine
This was one of the many early battles of the Clone Wars, in which the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems used a new form of weapon against the Jedi Knights and the Army of the Republic. During this battle, Mace Windu found himself separated from the rest of his team, in a vast grainfield. In addition to an army of battle droids, Master Windu had to fight his way through the first of the Separatists' seismic tanks. Only Master Windu's incredible skills with a lightsaber allowed him to penetrate the ranks of battle droids in order to reach the seismic tank. Then, Windu relied oni his ingenuity to defeat the tank and eliminate the Separatist threat on Dantooine. Much of the battle was witnessed by a young boy, Paxi Sylo, who documented the events in a series of holovids that many believed were highly exaggerated.
(CWC2)
Battle of Dantooine
This was the name used by historians to describe the New Republic's defense of the planet Dantooine against the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong, some twenty-five years after the Battle of Yavin. The planet was beseiged by refugees who were fleeing the alien attacks on Dubrillion and Destrillion, just as the Yuuzhan Vong had planned. They used huge dovin basals to block certain hyperspace escape routes, forcing the refugees to Dantooine. A Yuuzhan Vong force was already in place at Dantooine, ready to ambush the refugee starships. The Yuuzhan Vong presence was discovered by Anakin Solo and Mara Jade Skywalker, who were on Dantooine trying to cure Mara of the coomb spores she had been infected with. Any attempt they couldhave made to contact the Republic was cut short by Yuuzhan Vong ground forces, and the aliens' navy fleets decimated the Republic's starfighter squadrons in short order. Although a rescue task force was dispatched to Dantooine shortly after word of the attack reached Coruscant, only a few refugees were recovered. After debriefing the survivors, the New Republic understood that the Battle of Dantooine had been carefully orchestrated by the Yuuzhan Vong, as a way to test the military strength and tactics of the New Republic.
(NJOSB)
Battle of Dathomir
This was the name used to describe the New Republic's final battle against Imperial Warlord Zsinj, some four years after the Battle of Endor. Zsinj, who was on the run in the wake of the Battle of Selaggis, returned to his stronghold on Dathomir in an effort to regroup. The Dathomirian Witch Gethzerion chose this time to betray Zsinj, and tried to escape from Dathomir in a stolen Imperial shuttle. Zsinj's ships destroyed the shuttle, and established a blockade around Dathomir. The appearance of Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon coincided with the arrival of a Hapan battle fleet in the system, and spelled the doom of the Imperials. Solo managed to destroy the network of orbital nightcloaks that Zsinj had been using to subjugate Dathomir, and the Hapan vessels swiftly overpowered the Imperial ships. Zsinj himself died when Solo unleashed several concussion missiles into the bridge of the Iron Fist, setting off a chain reaction that ripped the ship apart and killed all Imperial forces onboard.
(NECH)
Battle of Denab
The battle in which the Imperial Fourth Attack Squadron of Victory-class Star Destroyers was routed by Alliance fighters. The Alliance methodically concentrated firepower on single Star Destroyers until one was destroyed, then moved to another ship. The slow Victory-class ships could not counteract the attack strategy, and were destroyed.
(E4R)
Battle of Derra IV
This was the name used by historians to describe the Imperial ambush of an Alliance supply convoy near Derra IV, just prior to the Battle of Hoth. Although Darth Vader's forces annihilated the Alliance convoy, it was learned later that the ambush had been devised by Admiral Thrawn, in one of his first campaigns as an Imperial officer.
(NEGC)
Battle of Dreighton
This battle occurred during the Clone Wars, and marked an attempt by both the Separatists and the Old Republic to secure the stygium mines of Aeten II. Named for the Dreighton Nebula, the battle lasted a month before the Separatists ultimately defeated the Republic's forces. However, after it was discovered that the stygium mines had dried up, the Separatists abandoned the planet.
(NECH)
Battle of Drongar
This was the name used to describe the fight for control of the planet Drongar, an engagement between the Grand Army of the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. Ostensibly, Drongar was of little military importance. However, both sides realized that whoever controlled the export of processed bota would have the upper hand in the war. Because the bota plants were extremely delicate in nature, traditional warfare tactics were abandoned, in order to preserve the plant. Local sorties fought with slugthrowers, swords, and staffs were necessary to prevent damaging the bota, forcing both sides to constantly adapt. The battle came to an abrupt end when the Separatists learned that the bota plants were mutating at such a rate that they would become useless weeds in a matter of weeks. They launched a massive assault on the forces of the Old Republic, driving them off Drongar and leaving the planet behind.
(MBS, MJH)
Battle of Dubrillion
This was considered by many historians to have been the first true battle between the Yuuzhan Vong and the forces of the New Republic. After the Republic destroyed the Praetorite Vong base on Helska 4, the planets Dubrillion and Destrillion were left undefended. This allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to follow the trails of refugees from Sernpidal to Dubrillion. New Republic warships, still at Helska 4, raced to Dubrillion to help Lando Calrissian defend the planets. However, the Yuuzhan Vong forces were still unknown quantities, and their bio-technology gave them the upper hand during most of the conflict. Dubrillion fell quickly, followed by Destrillion, as refugees fled the system for Dantooine and the Imperial Remnant.
(NJOSB)
Battle of Duro
This was the struggle between the rag-tag forces of the New Republic, sent to defend Duro and its orbital cities from the Yuuzhan Vong. The battle was predicated on several events, all of which fell into place after the New Republic announced its plans to reclaim the surface of the planet Duro. A team of scientists was formed to determine the best ways to restore Duro to its former natural state. The New Republic agreed to fund the plan, provided that the Duros High House allow refugee settlements to be established in domed cities on the planet's surface. Initially, the Duros leaders refused, but a series of well-placed bribes eventually swayed the voting in favor of the Republic's plan. The bribes came from the Peace Brigade, who convinced several shipping concerns - such as CorDuro Shipping - that the Yuuzhan Vong would allow them to retain one of Duro's orbital cities in exchange for the surface of the planet and all the refugees. Ultimately, however, the Yuuzhan Vong had no intention of letting anyone go free, especially when Warmaster Tsavong Lah learned that Jaina and Jacen Solo, as well as their mother, Leia Organa-Solo, were all on Duro. The Yuuzhan Vong desparately wanted to capture a live Jedi Knight, and the Warmaster thought he could finally capture one. Yuuzhan Vong forces moved in and attacked Duro with a swift assault, made easier by the fact that the Duros High House believed the alien invaders were simply there to take control of the surface. In a brutal attack nineteen of the twenty orbital cities surrounding Duro were destroyed by ychna ships, with just Urrdorf City escaping the destruction. New Republic navy forces managed to hold off the Yuuzhan Vong assault force in order to rescue the Solos, but Duro eventually fell to the Yuuzhan Vong. In the wake of the battle, Tsavong Lah claimed he would put an end to the hostilities and leave the Core Worlds alone, provided that the New Republic turn over Jacen Solo to the Yuuzhan Vong.
(BP)
Battle of Ebaq
This was one of the most decisive victories the New Republic managed against the Yuuzhan Vong, more than 25 years after the Battle of Endor. Using a battle plan developed by Admiral Ackbar, a false base of operations was established on the remote moon of Ebaq 9. The moon's location had been discovered from Imperial surveys of the Deep Core that were provided by Gilad Pellaeon. It was located along a hyperspace corridor than ran into the Deep Core to Treskov-115W, then dead-ended. The only way out of the Deep Core was back along the entry route. Ackbar hoped to lure the Yuuzhan Vong to Ebaq 9 using the ruse of the Final Redoubt, then launch a massive assault from the rear. This would trap the Yuuzhan Vong forces near Ebaq, where the New Republic could crush them between two forces. Information on the Final Redoubt also included the fact that certain Jedi Knights were stationed there, as added incentive for the Yuuzhan Vong. The alien invaders took the bait, based on intelligence received from Nom Anor, and launched an assault on Ebaq 9. Tsavong Lah did not commit his entire fleet of five battle groups all at once, but he also did not foresee the New Republic's trap. The secondary Republic fleet was later augmented by the three fleets controlled by Garm Bel Iblis, and surprised the Yuuzhan Vong. The naval battle in space near Ebaq turned at this point, as the Yuuzhan Vong found themselves badly outnumbered, with more New Republic forces arriving as the battle progressed. These forces were augmented by the Smuggler's Alliance and Garm Bel Iblis, and managed to turn the tide of battle to the Republic's favor. To further damage the Yuuzhan Vong naval forces, the New Republic laid interdictor and explosive mines along the hyperspace route leading away from Ebaq, destroying many more Yuuzhan Vong ships before all mines were detonated. With four of his battle groups decimated or destroyed, Tsavong Lah realized that he could not win. So, he took the Battle Group of Yun-Yuuzhan and headed to Ebaq 9, in an effort to capture the Jedi Knights and sacrifice them to the True Gods. He deployed thousands of group troops, an action not considered by the Republic's military advisors, and would have succeeded in capturing the Jedi if not for the effort of Vergere. She pretended to defect to the Yuuzhan Vong, but used Tsavong Lah's grudging acceptance as a way to infiltrate the Yun-Yuuzhan battle group. She then flew her starship into the surface of Ebaq 9, venting any remaining atmosphere in the mines with sudden completeness. The Yuuzhan Vong ground forces were asphixiated almost immediately, and they died shortly afterward. The only survivor was Tsavong Lah himself, but he was killed in battle by Jaina Solo. The New Republic was able to mop up any Yuuzhan Vong forces which remained in the Ebaq System, and rescued the ground forces on Ebaq 9 before regrouping at Kashyyyk and Calamari.

Battle of Endor
Following the destruction of Hoth's Echo Base, the Alliance scattered throughout the galaxy in an effort to evade the Empire. A group of Bothans, trying to prove their worth to the Alliance, were able to obtain information on the construction of a new Death Star. Unbeknownst to them, the Emperor Palpatine let them have the data, in an effort to bring the Alliance to him for its final destruction. The Alliance used the data and launched a two-pronged attack at Endor's forest moon and the new Death Star. The first part of the attack involved ground troops penetrating Imperial defenses to deactivate the huge energy shield guarding the Death Star. The group - led by Han Solo - accomplished this with the help of an unknown race called Ewoks. The second part of the plan involved a starship attack similar to the one used at the Battle of Yavin. This time, however, the unfinished Death Star allowed the Alliance a chance to destroy the main reactor directly, without the nearly-impossible shot at an exhaust port. The Emperor used this to his advantage, and tried to lure Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side of the Force by having him watch the battle, in which a number of the Alliance's ships were lost. It was later revealed that the Emperor was using a technique which allowed him to control the minds of much of the Imperial Navy. This, in effect, allowed the Emperor to control the entire battle, as it was his will that was guiding the gunners and pilots of the Imperial Navy. With the tide turning the Emperor's way, the Alliance's ground team managed to deactivate the shield, and allowed their fighters - led by Lando Calrissian and Wedge Antilles - to penetrate the Death Star's hull and destroy the power generator. The Emperor was killed by Darth Vader just prior to the destruction of the Death Star, but Vader was also mortally wounded, and died on the station as well. As a result of the Emperor's death, the Imperial Navy had no idea how to continue the battle. The Emperor's will was no longer driving them, and they were quickly unsure how to proceed. This allowed the Alliance's ships to move in and destroy 6 Star Destroyers and rout the TIE Fighter squadrons. The remainder of the Imperial Navy limped away in a hasty retreat, allowing the Alliance to regain rulership of the galaxy.

(NEGV)
Battle of Esfandia
This was the name used to describe the events which surrounded the defense of the planet Esfandia by the Galactic Alliance, in the face of a Yuuzhan Vong warfleet. The Yuuzhan Vong, acting on information provided by Peace Brigade spies, discovered the long-range communications bases on Generis and Esfandia. The Generis base was utterly destroyed by Commander B'shith Vorrik's fleet, and he set out to destroy Esfandia's base as well. However, his fleet was still being pursued by Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, who had been tracking Vorrik ever since the Battle of Bastion. In the meantime, Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, had discovered the Yuuzhan Vong's plans for Esfandia, and had hidden in the planet's liquid atmosphere in an attempt to locate the base before the Yuuzhan Vong could. Pellaeon and Vorrik fought to a standstill in orbit, even after Pellaeon's forces were augmented by the Pride of Selonia. In a daring move, Tahiri Veila volunteered to make contact with Vorrik and offer herself to him, ostensibly as an agent who could betray the location of the base. Vorrik, unable to refuse the offer, sent a small force to the surface. This force met with stiff resistance from the craft hidden aboard the Collaborator, and Vorrik realized he had been tricked. He launched an all-out assault on Pellaeon's forces, but the loss of the ships on Esfandia's surface left him with reduced defenses. Pellaeon, aboard the Right to Rule, working with Captian Todra Mayn aboard the Pride of Selonia, was able to destroy Vorrik's flagship and eliminate the Yuuzhan Vong threat, thereby keeping Esfandia free.
(FH3)
Battle of Ession
This was the name used by historians to describe the New Republic's victory over the forces of Apwar Trigit, in orbit around the planet Ession. New shipment of TIE Fighters were being produced at the Pakkerd Light Transport facility on Ession, and the Star Destroyer Impacable was dispatched to Ession for defensive support, along with the corvette Night Caller. However, the Night Caller was under the control of Wraith Squadron, and was supported by three squadrons of X-Wings hidden in the holds of the Blood Nest, which took the place of the Red Feathers. Using a maneuver known as the Loran Spitball, the Night Caller destroyed the power cells of the Implacable, leaving the ship dead in space. Trigit, realizing that he was beaten, set the Implacable to self-destruct, then headed for the escape pods. The Implacable smashed stern-first into one of Ession's moons and was destroyed.

(PG3)
Battle of Fondor
Following closely behind the Yuuzhan Vong victory at the Battle of Tynna, this struggle saw much of the orbital shipyards at Fondor destroyed, along with thirty warships which were being refitted. The Yuuzhan Vong had leaked information to the New Republic that it was going to attack either Corellia or Bothawui after taking Tynna, and the Republic was forced to leave Corellia undefended in an effort to bluff the Yuuzhan Vong into attacking there. The New Republic Defense Force had hoped to use the repulsors on Centerpoint Station to take out the enemy fleet. However, before the Republic could launch its attack, it learned that the Yuuzhan Vong were attacking Fondor. Using swarms of coralskippers, the Yuuzhan Vong made a series of suicide runs at the planet's facilities, causing widespread damage without actively engaging the minimal security of the planet. In the end, the shipyards were left in ruins, and most of the thirty warships at the planet were destroyed. The New Republic tried to use the Centerpoint Station repulsors to take out the Yuuzhan Vong fleet at Fondor, but Anakin Solo refused to use the station as a weapon. Furious at the turn of events, Thrackan Sal-Solo fired the weapon instead. However, he lacked the accuracy which only Anakin could draw from the Force, and his shot went just wide. The intense blast of repulsor energy destroyed much of the Hapan fleet and part of the planet's penultimate moon. It also wiped out the Yuuzhan Vong armada before continuing through the system unabated. In the aftermath of the battle, the Hapes Consortium pushed to completely isolate themselves from the rest of the galaxy.

Battle of Galidraan
This was the name given to the battle in which the Jedi Knights, led by then-Master Dooku, defeated the Mandalorian Shocktroopers. Occurring some eight years before the Battle of Naboo, this event was considered by historians to have been the final battle of the Mandalorian Civil War. The forces of the Jedi were pieced together from those available Jedi Knights and Masters who happened to be in the vicinity of Galidraan at the time. This meant that some of the twenty Jedi who assembled on Galidraan had not yet experienced combat, let alone combat against an enemy like the Mandalorians. Dooku would later question his decision not to call for reinforcements, since the fighting was vicious and deadly.
In the end, only nine Jedi had survived the battle, and only Jango Fett survived from the Mandalorian force. The Jedi Council ordered that Fett was to be turned over to Galidraan's planetary governor for incarceration, but the governor merely sold him into slavery. Later investigation revealed that Fett's Mandalorians had been set up by the Mandalorian Death Watch, who had collaborated with Galidraan's governor to stage the battle. In this way, the Death Watch hoped to eliminate Fett's forces and assume control of Mandalore for themselves. Note that Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force places this battle at forty-four years before the Battle of Yavin.
(JFOS, NECH, EGF)
Battle of Garos
This was one of the many battles that took place during the months that followed the Battle of Endor, and the New Republic tried to assume control of the galaxy from the Galactic Empire. In the wake of the Clone Wars, the Empire had subjugated the native Garosians, who harbored nothing but ill will toward their new masters. They secretly began to aid the Alliance, and did everything possible to disrupt the Empire's efforts on Garos IV. Once the Alliance had claimed victory at Endor and had consolidated its military forces, an effort was made to free the Garosians from Imperial control, to payback their continued support. The natives added their own military forces to those of the New Republic, and the Imperial forces who had controlled the planet were eventually defeated and forced to abandon the system.

(CWWS)
Battle of Garqi
This battle was predicated on the New Republic's attempt to extract Corran Horn, Jacen Solo, Ganner Rhysode, and their Noghri fighters from Yuuzhan Vong-held territory on Garqi. The New Republic's Admiral Traest Kre'fey brought a small force to Garqi during the insertion effort, but they remained just outside the system in order to avoid detection. When Corran, flying the Best Chance, tried to escape the planet, the Yuuzhan Vong sent a small force to intercept the shuttle. Admiral Kre'fey then moved the Ralroost into position to collect the Best Chance, prompting a large retaliation by the Vong forces. A full-scale battle erupted over Garqi, with the New Republic's forces taking a beating despite recovering the Jedi Knights. Just as the Vong were about to pummel the Republic's ships, Imperial Admiral Gilead Pellaeon hypered into the system with a small fleet of his own. Pellaeon quickly interjected his warships between the Republic's flagging forces and the Yuuzhan Vong, absorbing fire while attacking the alien ships. Realizing that they would be beaten, the Yuuzhan Vong commander Shedao Shai ordered a full retreat, allowing the combined New Republic and Imperial forces to gain a minor victory.

Battle of Gendrah-Narvin

(SWJ11)
Battle of Geonosis
This battle, in which the forces of the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights made a stand against Count Dooku and his droid armies, signaled the onset of the Clone Wars. Some 200 Jedi Masters and Knights were dispatched to Geonosis, after Obi-Wan Kenobi was captured and held prisoner there by Dooku. This small number was all that could be spared, since most other Jedi were scattered across the galaxy fighting the various disputes that had marked the Separatist crisis. The Jedi were unprepared for the droid armies produced on the planet, and found themselves surrounded by a huge number of combat automata. According to propaganda reports, the Separatist forces at Geonosis included a million battle droids, 100,000 super battle droids, and 3,000 droidekas that had been created for the Trade Federation. The Separatist forces also included armies from the Commerce Guild, the InterGalactic Banking Clan, the Techno Union, and the Corporate Alliance, which supplied 15,000 dwarf spider droids, 4,100 hailfire droids, and 7,500 homing spider droids. The appearance of this droid army overwhelmed the 200 Jedi Knights on the planet, and their numbers were swiftly reduced in the opening stages of the battle.
Meanwhile, just after Kenobi's capture, Jedi Master Yoda traveled to the distant planet of Kamino to investigate the sudden appearance of an army of cloned soldiers that had been commissioned by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. Despite his own misgivings, Yoda took command of the clone troopers and had them transported to Geonosis. This new Grand Army of the Republic had been approved by the Galactic Senate when it voted to allow Chancellor Palpatine to form the army, and augmented the Jedi forces on Geonosis in what proved to be a force that was too strong for the droids. 192,000 clone troopers arrived at Geonosis, along with 1,600 LAAT/i gunships, 400 LAAT/c carriers, 2,160 AT-TE walkers, and 100 SPHA-T walkers. The Geonosians fought well, and the droid armies proved efficient, but they were poor warriors compared to the clones. Jango Fett, the genetic donor for the clone army, allied himself with Count Dooku, but was beheaded in combat by Mace Windu. Kenobi was freed by Anakin Skywalker and Padme' Amidala, who had traveled to Geonosis when they learned of Kenobi's capture. The droid factories on Geonosis were destroyed or shut down, and many Separatist warships were crippled or badly damaged. The GAR later reported that 4,982 clones had been killed during the fighting.
Count Dooku managed to avoid the worst of the fighting, but was tracked to his lair by Kenobi and Skywalker, as well as Master Yoda. Although Dooku defeated the younger Jedi, he was unable to penetrate Yoda's defenses, and chose to make his escape, allowing him to continue the fight against the Republic and setting off the Clone Wars. Several thousand Geonosians also hid deep in their catacombs, causing all manner of trouble for the Republic's clean-up teams. They also unleashed the cyborg known as General Grievous, who had been hiding in the caves until called for by Dooku. Grievous managed to remain hidden until the Republic's forces left the planet, then set off to rejoin Dooku. Many Jedi historians looked back on the battle in the months which followed, and concluded that the Jedi failed to bring the battle to a swift end because they tried to act as peacekeepers, rather than generals. Leaders such as Mace Windu tried to negotiate a peaceful resolution, unaware that the Separatists had already committed themselves and their resources to war. Windu himself had a chance to end Dooku's life, but chose not to, hoping to avoid the bloodshed that eventually followed.

Battle of Gilatter VIII
This was the term used by historians to describe the brief conflict that erupted in the space around the gas giant Gilatter Eight, following the Corella-GA War. The new Supreme Commander of The Confederation, Turr Phennir, laid an elaborate trap to lure the forces of the Galactic Alliance to the Gilatter System. Word was leaked that the member systems of The Confederatiom were going to meet at an abandoned resort station in orbit around Gilatter Eight, where they would then elect the Supreme Commander. The forces of the Galactic Alliance launched a plan in which they arrayed their warships in the dense atmosphere of Gilatter Eight, a position from which they could monitor incoming ships and determine who was arriving and what their military strength was.
Because the GA warships were unaware that the entire set-up was a trap, the military ships of The Confederation were able to amass in plain sight. The delegated they carried were simply actors, security officers and military personnel who provided a measure of authenticity to the trap. Thus, Phennir was able to array his forces in orbit above the position of the GA ships, trapping them against Gilatter Eight and forcing them into a dense, multi-layered minefield.
Luckily for the forces of the Galactic Alliance, Jacen Solo discovered the trap and sent a telepathic warning through the Force. Admiral Cha Niathal received the warning from Luke Skywalker, and was able to get her starships to avoid the majority of the minefield and get free of the atmosphere. In the end, the Battle of Gilatter Eight was regarded as a draw, although both sides claimed some level of victory.

This was one of many skirmishes which occurred during the Galactic Civil War, in the wake of the Battle of Hoth. The Alliance's forces had nearly won the battle, but the Empire had been holding back a group of AT-AT walkers until absolutely necessary. As the AT-ATs emerged from the smoke and haze, the civilian troops fled in terror and the Alliance forces simply surrendered, knowing that it was impossible to outrun the walkers.

Battle of Gyndine
This was one of the early battles that occurred after the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy. The alien invaders were victorious, as the New Republic was still trying to figure who the Yuuzhan Vong were and how to combat their organic technologies. During the fighting, Jedi Knight Wurth Skidder allowed himself to be captured, so that he could infiltrate the Yuuzhan Vong vessel Creche'.

Battle of Helska 4
This was the term used by historians to describe the New Republic's first victory against the Yuuzhan Vong. The alien invaders had placed an immense yammosk deep within Helska's core, hoping to grow it as the basis for their initial strikes against the Republic. In a daring series of missions, the Republic forced the world to warm and then re-solidify via the Mezzicanley Wave effect. Helska's matter was unable to handle the strain of the effect, and shattered into a billion pieces of ice and rock.

Battle of Hoth
Following the destruction of the first Death Star and other losses at the hands of the Alliance, the Empire began dispatching thousands of remote probe droids to all sector of the galaxy. One of these probe droids located the Alliance's Echo Base on Hoth, established after the evacuation of the Massassi Base on Yavin 4, and was able to relay information on the base before being destroyed by Han Solo and Chewbacca. A fleet of Star Destroyers under the command of Darth Vader was sent to destroy the base. Admiral Ozzel, acting against the established battle plan, believed that he could surprise the Alliance forces by coming out of hyperspace at the edge of the system and causing them to panic. However, Ozzel's plan backfired, as the Alliance was alerted to the presence of the Imperial fleet and was able to put its evacuation plans into effect. Ozzel was executed for this blunder, and Captain Piett was promoted to fill the void. Vader then sent General Veers to the planet's surface with a group of AT-ATs known as Blizzard Force, which decimated the Alliance ground forces and destroyed the main power generator. With the ground battle lost, the Alliance put their early warning of the Imperial invasion to its best use, and quickly evacuated key personnel and equipment under heavy fire from their v-150 ion cannon. The majority of the Alliance's Hoth base staff escaped to scatter across the galaxy, and nearly half of its larger starships were able to evade the Imperial blockade. The Battle of Hoth became one of the most legendary and infamous battles of the Galactic Civil War, primarily due to the fact that Imperial propaganda experts sent holodocumentarians to Hoth with the main troops, and later used footage from the battle to paint a glowing picture of the "heroic snowtroopers" of the Empire. What was lost in the documentaries were Ozzel's blunder and Vader's fixation on locating Luke Skywalker, since it was Vader who ordered the Star Destroyers of the blockade to target a single ship - the Millenium Falcon - while allowing others to escape.

Battle of Hypori
During the Separatists' secret military build-up of droid forces, most of the manufacture of battle droids was done on Geonosis. The foundries of Hypori augmented those of Geonosis after the onset of the Clone Wars, until the planet was discovered nearly three years later by Jedi Master Daakman Barrek and his Padawan, Sha'a Gi. A task force was dispatched to Hypori by the Jedi Council and the Army of the Republic, but it was smashed by General Grievous before it could reach the surface.
(CWC2)
Battle of Iktotch
This was one of the many battles that were fought during the Clone Wars. Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Saesee Tiin - himself an Iktotchi - managed to defeat the droid forces of the Separatists, although they had to find a way to destroy the B3 Ultra Battle Droid, an oversized super battle droid that the Separatists had created. The two Jedi used a combination of speed and strength, coupled with the power of the Force, to defeat the droids and free Iktotch.
(CWA1, NEGD)
Battle of ILC-905
This fast, furious, eleven-minute engagement was first time New Republic forces had been able to attack and destroy a Yevethan Aramadia-class thrustship. The Indomitable, under the command of Commodore Brand, initiated the assault when he discovered the Yevetha were using the ILC-905 system to jump their thrustships into the Koornacht Cluster behind New Republic forces. Brand decided to take out the thrustship they encountered, but two others jumped in behind it. In the heat of the battle, the Indomitable and the Vanguard were joined by the Marauder. The thrustships Tholos and Rizaron fought back, destroying the Vanguard before Esege Tuketo and Dogo were able to penetrate the Tholos' shields and knock out its navigational systems. The thrustship spun out of control and plunged into the nearby planet, and the Yevethans fled the system.

Battle of Ilum
This was one of the many battles that took place during the Clone Wars. Separatist forces attempted to cut off the Jedi Order's supply of Ilum crystals, which were used in the creation of Jedi lightsabers. The battle was short but intense, with the forces of the Old Republic emerging victorious.
(NECH)
Battle of Ithor
This was one of the most tragic battles waged between the forces of the New Republic and the Yuuzhan Vong. Preceded by only a few weeks by the Battle of Garqi, the struggle for Ithor was predicated on the fact that the pollen of the bafforr tree was deadly to the vonduun crab armor worn by the Yuuzhan Vong. Corran Horn discovered this while on Garqi, and relayed the information back to the New Republic military. Unfortunately, Shedao Shai received a report from Runsk Das on the defat at Garqi, and the Yuuzhan Vong also discovered the effects of the pollen. In an effort to eliminate this advantage, the Yuuzhan Vong launched an assault on Ithor. They met heavy resistance from the New Republic forces, which had been augmented by a fleet of Imperial Remnant ships commanded by Admiral Pellaeon himself. Pellaeon and Traest Kre'fey had worked together on the defense, which included the ground support of Luke Skywalker's Jedi Knights. As Rogue Squadron worked in space, the Jedi worked to defend the baffor groves against Yuuzhan Vong gorund forces. The combined frepower of the Republic and the Imperial kept the Yuuzhan Vong starships at bay, and the ground forces of Jedi Knights and soldiers managed to defeat Shedao Shai's own warriors. The outcome of the battle was placed in limbo, however, when Shedao Shai and Corran Horn agreed to a duel. Corran fought for the planet Ithor, while Shedao Shai fought for the remains of his ancestor, Mongei Shai. For two weeks, both sides retreated to lick their wounds and gather reinforcements, while the two combatants prepared for their fight. Corran Horn managed to defeat Shedao Shai in their struggle, but the final blow of the battle was yet to be dealt. In orbit, Deign Lian completed his treachery against Shedao Shai, unleashing a horrendous bioweapon on Ithor. Thick gobs of the bioweapon struck the planet, and quickly reduced all plant life and much of the native animal life to dead husks. Ithor was utterly destroyed, but the final blow hadn't been dealt, for Traest Kre'fey ordered the Corusca Rainbow to hold the Yuuzhan Vong fleet in position, while the augmented New Republic forces pummeled them with laser fire. The Yuuzhan Vong fleet was decimated, and the Legacy of Torment lost its drive systems and plunged into Ithor's surface, setting off planet-sweeping fires.

Battle of Jabiim
This was the name given to the conflict which arose during the Clone Wars, more than a year after the Battle of Geonosis, when the planet Jabiim tried to secede from the Old Republic. The Galactic Senate, acting on intelligence gained from agents on Jabiim, believed that the Jabiim Congress had been undermined by the Separatists. Individuals such as Alto Stratus spoke eloquently about the "oppression" of the Republic, but many believed that these words had been purchased with weapons, supplies, and credits by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Rather than lose Jabiim to treachery, the Republic decided to take control itself. However, it was ill-prepared for the conditions on Jabiim, while the Jabiimite rebels had lived there all their lives. The Republic's heavy artillery became mired in the muddy, rain-soaked plains, while the Jabiimite rebels managed to destroy any machinery that continued to work. The battle dragged on for more than a month, with the Jedi gaining few victories against Alto Stratus and his Separatist-augmented forces. Eighteen Jedi Knights - most of them Masters, with Obi-Wan Kenobi believed to be among them - and some 9,000 clone troopers were killed by Jabiimite rebels during the course of the battle, until a small group of Padawans made their last stand against Alto Stratus. All but Anakin Skywalker - who had been called away to lead the rescue effort - died in the battle, but Aubrie managed to kill Stratus before she died, on the forty-third day of the battle. However, the surviving members of the Army of the Republic were too few in number to make any additional headway, and they were forced to retreat, leaving the Separatists in control of the planet. Obi-Wan Kenobi, it was later learned, had actually been captured by Asajj Ventress and transported to Rattatak.

Battle of Jaga's Cluster
It was during this battle, which occurred during the height of the Mandalorian Wars, that Cassus Fett killed the officer of the Old Republic's flagship. It was this act, and Fett's subsequent flight into deep space, that earned him the position of the galaxy's most-wanted being.

Battle of Kalarba
Shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong took the planet Fondor, they attacked Kalarba and wrecked Hosk Station in order to eliminate the non-organic technology it contained. The fighting was fierce, as the Pitareeze family and its supporters fought desparately to remain free. However, despite these efforts, Kalarba and its system were utterly destroyed. A small percentage of the population managed to escape before the Yuuzhan Vong render Kalarba a toxic wasteland. The Battle of Kalarba marked one of the first engagements in which the Chiss Nssis-class clawcraft was flown alongside the ships of the New Republic.

Battle of Kalsunor
This ancient battle predated the Golden Age of the Sith, and was the first documented encounter with the silooth. During the battle, the natives of the planet Kalsunor were defeated by the Sith.
(DSSB)
Battle of Kamino
This historic conflict was one of the most important battles of the Clone Wars. Shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, the Separatist leaders discovered that the source of the Army of the Republic's clone troopers was the factories of Kamino. Led by Commander Merai, the Separatists launched a full-scale war on Kamino. Fortunately for the Old Republic, Jedi intelligence agents managed to learn of the Separatists' plans before the actual attack, and were able to establish a defense network on Kamino. The Battle of Kamino marked the first use of the specialized Advanced Reconnaissance Clone Troopers by the Republic, which gave the Republic's forces a slight edge. However, the plans discovered by the Jedi Knights were actually planted by Darth Tyranus and Darth Sidious, so the Separatist forces were aware of the ambush set by the Republic. This did not prevent the Old Republic from planting information of their own. A datafile containing false coordinates for the reactors powering the Kaminoan cloning facilities was placed in the hands of the Corporate Alliance, which provided the information Commander Merai's forces. Merai himself planned to fire the killing blow from the Shark, but he soon learned that he had been giving bad information. Rather than see his forces decimated, Merai flew his ship into the midst of the Jedi Knights' hyperspace rings, destroying many of them and sacrificinf himself. This allowed the Separatist forces to retreat into hyperspace, where they were able to regroup and plan a new attack. Kamino, and the cloning facilities, were defended by the Jedi and the Army of the Republic, ensuring the continued development of clone troopers.

Battle of Kathol
This was the name given to final conflict between Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne's forces and the crew of the FarStar. The FarStar was outnumbered two-to-one in the battle, facing a Victory-class Star Destroyer and an Interdictor-class cruiser. The FarStar was unable to escape, being trapped within Kathol's gravity well as well as being pinned down by the Interdictor. Just when the Imperials were about to smash the FarStar, the Bothan Combat Response Element, led by Kursk Mal'ia and the Boash'ua, intervened. The battle swung to the New Republic's favor until the Imperial Star Destroyer Titania appeared. Unfortunately, the Titania was unprepared for the Bothan reaction, and suffered massive damage in an all-out assault. The guns aboard the Titania continued to fire, even as other ship systems failed, and harrassed the Republic ships until the Raptor and the Bastion arrived. The Republic's forces were unexepectedly augmented by ships from the Qektoth Confederacy, which attempted to take the DarkStryder technology for their own, but they were not enough to save the FarStar. A smaller, subordinate battle erupted when the Sabriador Slavers and the Skandrei Bandits tried to join the battle and destroy the Qektoth, but a fleet of Aing Tii Sanhedrim warships arrived to destroy them. The forces of the New Republic were also augmented near the end of the battle by the forces of the Yvarema. In the end, the battle turned when the FarStar was destroyed. It plummeted into the surface of Kathol and exploded, destroying the Imperial garrison and wiping out Sarne's ground forces. The surviving members of the FarStar's crew set out to locate Sarne and eliminate him, as well as discover the secret behind DarkStryder. After the destruction of DarkStryder and the loss of Sarne's command, the Imperial Navy forces scattered, leaving Kathol in the hands of the New Republic.

Battle of Kirrek
Following the end of the First Unification Wars, the planet Kirrek had been brought under control by the forces that were led by Empress Teta, and augmented by the Jedi Knights. Kirrek rebels, led by Llaban, put down their arms and agreed to serve the Tetan empire in exchange for amnesty, Empress Teta accepted their surrender, but knew that the situation on Kirrek was far from stable. Sith forces were already attacking planets during the early stages of he Great Hyperspace War, prompting Empress Teta to ask Llaban to prepare Kirrek for a possible Sith invasion. This foresight proved to be invaluable, as the Sith soon swept over Kirrek in an attempt to take advantage of the relative peace that followed the first Battle of Kirrek. The forces led by Llaban were augmented by Tetan and Republic forces led by Jedi Masters Odan-Urr and Ooroo, but the Sith had the advantage of sheer numbers on their side. Llaban was forced into retreat, and the Jedi found that their battle meditation techniques were insufficient to carry the battle in their favor. Sensing defeat, Master Ooroo opened the canister that contained the cyanogen gas that kept him alive, sacrificing himself in order to kill as many Sith as possible. This tactic did eliminate a large portion of the Sith army, but more warriors filled the spaces of the dead, forcing the Kirrek forces into further retreat. It was at this point that reinforcements from Ronika arrived to supplement Llaban's combine armies, and this infusion of new soldiers turned the tide of the battle against the Sith. Kirrek was eventually liberated, precipitating the end of the Great Hyperspace War.
(FOSE, FJ3)
Battle of Kirrek
This battle was the decisive action of the First Unification Wars, more than 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The natives of Kirrek had put up the strongest resistance to unification, pirates and rebels on the planet ignored or attacked any contingent sent to discuss the alliance, and a civil war broke out between Kirrek and the forces of Empress Teta. Teta petitioned the Old Republic to send help in ending the conflict, and the Jedi Knight Odan-Urr was dispatched to assist Memit Nadill in mediating the battle. Odan-Urr brought with him the concept of Jedi battle meditation, and together they were able to convince the rebels on Kirrek to surrender their arms long enough to negotiate a peace treaty. The peace on Kirrek was short-lived, however, as Sith forces swept in to take advantage of the situation in an attempt to capture the planet for themselves. This led to a second Battle of Kirrek, during which Kirrek rebel forces fought on the side of the Tetans and the Republic.

Battle of Koros Major
Satal Keto and his cousin Aleema had formed the Krath, a quasi-militant group whose principle power lay in the use of the Dark Side of the Force. The Krath managed to assert themselves into control positions on 6 of the 7 worlds in the Empress Teta system. The sole opposition was met on the planet of Koros Major. The Krath moved an ancient military space station into orbit around the planet, and began using military and Force-based attacks to turn the Korosians to their will. The Old Republic and the Jedi Knights, fearing another Dark Jedi uprising, created a combined strike force and went to Koros Major to turn the Krath back. The Krath used a series of Dark Side illusions to lull the Republic into thinking that the battle would be based mainly on the use of the Force, but an illusory armada of starfighters contained a percentage of real Chaos fighters, who crashed their starfighters into the command ships and disabled the Republic momentarily.

Battle of Kuat
This space battle occurred some forty years after the Battle of Yavin, during the Galactic Alliance's conflict with The Confederation. Coming shortly after the Second Battle of Balmorra, this battle might have proved to be a turning point in the conflict. Jacen Solo had foreseen the battle's importance through the Force, and had expended a large portion of the Fourth Fleet at Balmorra to weaken The Confederation, even after Balmorra was lost. Solo then turned the planning for the defense of Kuat over to Admiral Nek Bwua'tu, despite his concerns over Bwua'tu's loyalty and the fact that the Bothans had joined The Confederation. However, Jacen trusted the Force, and knew that he had to maintain control of Kuat in order to finally bring an end to the conflict.
Bwua'tu's plan was a grand one, involving four main Alliance fleets as well as the Hapan Home Fleet. The First and Fourth Fleets were the only forces present in the system when The Confederation's forces arrived, and engaged them as they drove toward the shipyards and orbital facilities that filled the Kuat System. Once the battle had begun, Bwua'tu had the Hapan Home Fleet arrive from a hiding place behind the moon Ronay, forcing the ships of The Confederation deeper into the system. He then planned to have the Fifth and Seventh Fleets arrive in flanking positions, where they could pick off Confederation warships at will.
A large part of Bwua'tu's plans involved three squadrons of starfigthers that were to be flown by Jedi Knights, who would deploy shadow bombs among the Bothan and Corellian fleets at Kuat, causing damage to any capital ships that survived the initial waves of attack. However, Grand Master Luke Skywalker had sensed something wrong with Jacen Solo in the aftermath of the murder of Mara Jade Skywalker, and refused to support Jacen's plans for the battle. Rather than launching into the fray, Skywalker took his Jedi forces and exited the system, leaving Solo and Bwua'tu without a major part of their attack force. This sudden defection meant that the Galactic Alliance warships could not press their attack any more, giving the ships of The Confederation a momentary respite.
With the Jedi out of the picture, the struggle for control of Kuat continued for many weeks, with each side gaining reinforcements in time to protect itself from enemy attacks. Jacen Solo even went so far as to pull the Fifth Fleet and the Anakin Solo out of the battle, to track the Jedi to Kashyyyk and attack the planet when the Wookiees refused to turn over the Jedi. This move did not sit well with Admiral Bwua'tu or his superiors, including Supreme Commander Cha Niathal. She refused to send any more ships to Kashyyyk, even after the Fifth Fleet was surrounded by a massive force, claiming that the ships were needed to continue the fight at Kuat and defend the Core Worlds.

Battle of Lianna
This was one of the battles that occurred during the height of the Clone Wars, in which the forces of the Old Republic tried to protect the Sienar development facility that was working on the Twin Ion Engine project. Although the Republic's forces ultimately defended Lianna from a Separatist attack, Jedi Master Cei Vookta was forced to sacrifice himself in order to save his troops.

Battle of Lorshan Pass
This was the name used by Jedi historians to describe the masterful defense of Korunnai tribes from attack by Balawai militia, which had been augmented and supported by Separatist weaponry and vehicles, some six months after the Battle of Geonosis. A minor skirmish of the Clone Wars, it was one of the most masterful strategies devised by Jedi Master Mace Windu. Despite overwhelming odds that saw the Korunnai warriors face impressive Separatist firepower, Master Windu managed to lure the Balawai militia into a position where they were trapped against a grasser stampede. These ground-based forces were trampled to death, while their airborne support was eliminated when Master Windu and Nick Rostu managed to take control of a Turbostorm gunship and infiltrate the Balawai lines. Then, knowing that the Balawai were supported by droid starfighters of the Separatists, they began firing on "friendly" gunships, forcing the droid control system to re-evaluate its battleplan. The droid starfighters then began firing on Balawai gunships, believing them to be hostile. In short order, the Balawai forces were defeated, allowing the Korunnai to march on Pelek Baw.

Battle of Malachor
This was the decisive battle of the Mandalorian Wars, in which a group of Jedi Knights were forced to use every means possible to defeat the Mandalorians. Under the command of Revan, the Jedi fought bravely, but were unable to stop the forces of the Mandalore. In the end, one of Revan's Generals - a former Jedi Padawan who was known simply as The Exile - triggered the Mass Shadow Generator that wiped out all life on Malachor V, killing Mandalorian and Jedi alike in an effort to end the conflict. The resulting destruction tore a hole in the fabric of the Force, which The Exile consisted the source of his inability to contact the Force. In the wake of the battle, the Mandalorians destroyed their armor and their Basilisk war-mounts in view of the Jedi, as proof of their defeat.

(RDV)
Battle of Mindor
This battle between Luke Skywalker and his New Republic troops, and the Imperial forces of Lord Shadowspawn, took place on the planet Mindor, during the year after the Battle of Endor. Shadowspawn had chosen Mindor because it was ringed with the debris from the Big Crush, and this debris formed a screen of randomly-moving rocks and meteors that were nearly impossible to plot. This forced the Rapid Response Task Force to either launch a high-risk attack using only starfighters, or carry out a mission of overwhelming force, smashing the entire fleet through the debris and bombarding Shadowspawn's base from low orbit. During the planning sessions for the battle, General Skywalker emphasized the fact that any New Republic operation had to utterly destroy Lord Shadowspawn's forces. Any survivors would be able to form their own cells of opposition, creating a situation in which the New Republic would be forced to fight skirmishes on a multitude of fronts.
The leaders of the Combined Defense Forces opted to launch a mission of overwhelming force. The battle plan called for the flagship Justice to lead the RRTF into position near Mindor, using microjumps to get inside the asteroid field before deploying interdiction cruisers to prevent any ship from escape into hyperspace. At the sight of the Republic's ships, Shadowspawn launched a small group of his starfighters, and a brief skirmish took place before an apparently unarmed shuttle hailed the Justice. The transmissions from the shuttle stated that Lord Shadowspawn himself was aboard, hoping to negotiate a cease-fire. However, the shuttle was a ruse. It contained a gravity bomb that exploded so close to the Justice that it tore the ship apart almost instantly. Other gravity mines, hidden in the rubble near the planet, were then activated, wreaking havoc with the Republic's forces and compromising the interdiction field. In the resulting confusion, the rest of Shadowspawn's forces launched from their hiding places among the asteroids, trapping the Republic vessels against Mindor.
In the days that followed, the Imperial forces on Mindor sent wave after wave of TIE Fighters and TIE Interceptors at the Republic's forces, and despite the overwhelming number of Imperial fighters, the 23rd Combat Starfighter Wing was able to gain a defensive perimeter around its capital ships. Captain Tirossk, having assumed command of the RRTF after the loss of the Justice, began using repulsors and gravity wells to collect the asteroids into cohesive groups, thus clearing a pathway that could be used to escape into hyperspace. The Republic's forces were then bolstered by the sudden appearance of a task force led by Lando Calrissian, who had learned of the problems on Mindor and was able to react in time, even recruiting a team of Mandalorians led by Fenn Shysa to assist them Republic's forces.
Meanwhile, large pieces of debris from the Big Crush hurtled into the star Taspan, creating a series of explosions on the sun's surface. These explosions spewed radiation into the surrounding system, rendering all electronic devices useless. Lando and Tirossk moved the Republic's fleet close to Mindor itself, using the planet to shield them from the radiation, while allowing it to knock out the gravity mines and gravity stations that littered the asteroid field. On the surface, Skywalker was captured by Shadowspawn, who turned out to be a figurehead created by Lord Cronal. Skywalker learned how Cronal was using meltmassif stone to control his Pawns, and with the help of Nick Rostu, managed to get free of the Imperials. Luke then had to confront Lord Cronal before he could capture Leia Organa.
Lando and Shysa realized that, by hiding on the dark side of Mindor, they were able to bring their troops to the surface of the planet while hiding in the radiation. This allowed them to get landers and troops - both Republic Marines and Mandalorians - close enough to the weapons protecting the fortress to penetrate the stormtrooper lines and breach the domes covering the gravity gun. However, this played into Cronal's hands, since it concentrated the Republic's forces. Cronal then set off the gravity stations he had buried beneath Shadow Base, lifting the entire fortress into the sky, where the Imperials were able to use their gravity gun with devastating results. Lando Calrissian was forced to move his fleet further away from Mindor in order to avoid the growing possibility that the planet might tear itself apart after Shadow Base lifted free, hoping that his ships could defend themselves against the radiation pouring from Taspan. This gave the Republic ships a chance to surround Shadow Base, and then Lando put his own desparate plan into action. Using the gravity well projectors of his interdiction cruisers, Lando sent Imperial gravity bombs back to their source on Shadow Base.
After Lord Cronal was denied a chance to take over Leia Organa's body, he fled the system in an escape craft, but not before using his meltmassif connection to his military forces to compel them into a series of suicide runs at the Republic's forces. In space, the Imperial pilots flung their TIE Interceptors and TIE Defenders at the Republic's warships, smashing their fighters into the nearest capital ship. In the Shadow Base, Luke confronted Kar Vastor, who was being controlled by Lord Cronal, and was able to use the huge man's strength in the Force to confront and destroy Cronal. With Cronal's death, the Imperial forces he had been controlling were freed, and laid down their arms in surrender. However, in destroying Cronal and restoring the light to the Melters, Luke was forced to set off the semi-organic deadman switches that Cronal had installed in the meltmassif crystal networks in the brains and Crowns of his minions. General Skywalker deeply regretted the fact that this led to the immediate deaths of all Imperial troops on Mindor, some 50,000 beings who were nothing more than pawns in Cronal's attempt to gain power. The New Republic's warships were able to forge a hyperspace escape route from the system, and with survivors loaded into their holds, the ships barely outran the destruction of the Taspan System. Skywalker resigned his commission with the New Republic military six months later, when he was unable to reconcile the unnecessary loss of life with his commitment to the Force and restoring the Jedi Order.

Battle of Mizra
Occurring some 1,466 years before the Battle of Yavin, this was one of the polarizing events of the Draggulch Period of galactic history, in which a massive for of Sith warriors soundly defeated an army of Jedi Knights. The battle was later captured in words by the poet Felloux.

This was one of the early battles of the Clone Wars, in which the Quarren Isolation League tried to wrest control of their homeworld of Mon Calamari and turn its shipyards over to Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Quarren found themselves fighting against Jedi Master Kit Fisto and a squad of specially-trained aquatic clone troopers, whose strength was augmented by the ranks of the Mon Calamari Knights. Ultimately, the Quarren Isolation League was defeated, and Mon Calamari remained free to continue its relationship with the Old Republic.

Battle of Muunilinst
This was one of the early battles of the Clone Wars, and was one of the Old Republic's first attempts to eliminate the leadership of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. It was hoped that, without its leadership, the Confederacy would be unable to continue its attacks. The forces of the Army of the Republic, led by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, struggled to destroy the droid forces that protected San Hill and the leaders of the InterGalactic Banking Clan. Leading the Separatist forces were Asajj Ventress and Durge, and it was Ventress who managed to lure Anakin away from Muunilinst. This left Obi-Wan and a handful of clone troopers to stand against Durge and his droids. The battle was fought on many fields, including a battle between speederbike-mounted IG Lancer droids and clone troopers. Ultimately, the droid were defeated, and Obi-Wan confronted Durge in a vast fortress. The Gen'Dai bounty hunter nearly defeated the Jedi Master, until Obi-Wan allowed himself to be "consumed" by Durge. Working from inside, Obi-Wan was able to destroy many of Durge's internal systems, causing his body to disintegrate. With Durge's defeat, San Hill was captured and held for questioning. Muunilinst was one of the first planet on which the forces of the Old Republic were successful in removing the Separatists from power.

Battle of Mygeeto
This was one of the final battles that were fought during the Clone Wars. Mygeeto was singled out by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, along with the worlds of Felucia and Saleucami, as a "triad of evil" that served as Separatist bastions. The Galactic Marines, led by Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi and Comander Bacara, were dispatched to eliminate the Separatist forces that were holed up on the planet. Ostensibly, Palpatine ordered troops to Mygeeto and several other worlds as a way to end the Outer Rim Sieges and being the Clone Wars to a halt. In reality, the Battle of Mygeeto and the Outer Rmi Sieges were simply ways to spread the Jedi Order out so thin that it was unable to react when Order 66 was given. The battle ended when Bacara and his troopers destroyed Ki-Adi-Mundi and took control of the planet in the name of Palpatine's new Empire.
(SWI84)
Battle of Naboo
Although this struggle marked a high point in the history of Naboo, it marked the beginning of the end of the Old Republic. Forced by an illegal blockade of the planet by the Trade Federation, the Battle of Naboo was really a diversionary tactic. The Trade Federation, led by Nute Gunray but ultimately controlled by Darth Sidious, attempted to remove the taxation of trade routes by blockading Naboo. Sidious ordered a planetary invasion, pushing Gunray to attack Naboo as a form of protest against Senator Palpatine, who had engineered the taxation of trade routes several years earlier. The Neimoidian members of the Trade Federation sent thousands of droid soldiers and tanks to the surface of the planet. They were quickly able to subdue the native populace, as the humans of Naboo were quite peaceful and the Gungans hid rather than become involved. Once the planet was secured, the majority of the Federation's invasion fleet returned home, leaving a skeleton force to control the droid armies on the ground. Queen Amidala, just fourteen at the time of the invasion, fled to Coruscant to plea for aid in breaking the blockade, but received none from the stagnant Galactic Senate. All of this played into the schemes of Darth Sidious. However, he did not count on the appearance of Anakin Skywalker and the strength of Amidala's will. She devised a plan to capture Gunray and force him to call of the blockade, but it hinged on two factors of battle. The first involved the Gungans, whom she had persuaded to help in the fight. They called out the Federation's droid armies in an intense land battle that raged across the plains of Naboo. While this battle forced the droid armies into action, it left the city of Theed relatively undefended. Amidala, with Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, forced their way into the palace and overcame the Neimoidians. Meanwhile, in the space above Naboo, the Royal starfighter fleet had engaged the droid control ship. However, its shields were too powerful for the small N-1 fighters to penetrate. A lone fighter, marginally controlled by Anakin Skywalker, penetrated the ship's interior. During his attempts to flee the ship, Anakin unleashed a volley of energy torpedoes that ruptured the control ship's internal power sources. The huge ship began exploding from within, and ripped itself apart in a matter of minutes. Anakin and the fighters escaped, and the droid armies on the ground were left powerless. This came just as the droids had forced the Gungans to surrender. When they realized the droids were no longer able to function, the Gungans rounded them up and dismantled them. In the end, Naboo was freed from Federation control, and the humans and Gungans wlecomed a new era of cooperation between their peoples.

Battle of Nam Chorios
This was the term used by historians to refer to the defeat of Imperial Moff Getelles' forces at Nam Chorios, by the combined might of the New Republic and the intelligence provided by former Imperial Admiral Daala, several years after the Battle of Endor.

Battle of Nar Shaddaa
This battle was ordered by Moff Sarn Shild, who ordered that all smuggling in his sector be stopped. This reneged on a series of rbibe and gifts he had received from the Hutts. Jabba and Jiliac, seeing the damage an attack on Nar Shaddaa would do, used Han Solo to bribe Admiral Winstel Greelanx into allowing the residents to win the battle. Greelanx had received a Base Delta Zero order from Shild for Nar Shaddaa, and struggled to find a way to throw the battle. When he finally came up with a plan, Greelanx then received a communique from Excomm commanding him to lose the battle. So, the tables were set for a battle of Imperial might versus a rag-tag fleet of smugglers and thieves trained on short notice by Han Solo, Mako Spince, and Lando Calrissian. They mustered every snub-fighter and freighter they could in an effort to make a stand against Greelanx's fleet. Their plan involved throwing a group of ships against the Imperials, hoping to break into their picket lines while giving the impression that the smugglers' forces were spent. A second group remained out of sight, ready to pounce on the Imperial fleet from behind. The two groups were supplemented by Drea Renthal's pirate fleet as well as a series of images projected by Xaverri. The battle started badly for the smugglers when a pair of ships jumped the gun before the counterattack could be launched. Despite the loss of two ships, the smugglers quickly gained the upper hand when the Imperial forces became over-confident. The appearance of Xaverri's illusory fleet caught the Imperials offf-guard, and allowed the smugglers to take out several Imperial warships. The battle was ended when the Peacekeeper plummeted into Nar Shaddaa's planetary shield, eliminating one of the key Imperial ships. The remaining ships were unable to exploit the hole in the moon's shield, and Greelanx ordered a retreat. The entire populace of Nar Shaddaa suffered some form of loss or injury, as did most of the Hutt kajidics. Only Besadii seemed to come out unscathed, a point which Jabba the Hutt used against them when they began raising prices of processed spice.

Battle of New Bornalex
This struggle took place during the Clone Wars, and was one of the first battles in which the Galactic Marines fought for the Old Republic. The Separatist forces on New Bornalex were augmented by Mandalorian Protectors, and were matched against the Galactic Marines led by Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi and Clone Commander Bacara. It was during the battle that the new powersuits worn by the Galactic Marines failed, forcing Bacara and his clones to use sheer muscle power to defeat the Separatists.
(SWDB)
Battle of N'zoth
This was the final battle of the Black Fleet Crisis, in which the New Republic implemented Operation Strong Hand against the Yevetha. The Republic's ships, aided by a false fleet generated by Wailu and Akanah, took the upper hand against the Yevethan fleet near N'zoth. This cut off much of the coordination with other Yevethan warships in the Koornacht Cluster. The Yevethan warships were severely beaten by the Republic's ships, due mainly to the data gathered at the Battle of ILC-905 and the success of the Thunderhead. Then, Sil Sorannan and his Camp Pa'aal Squadron stole a large piece of the Yevethan fleet and retook it in the name of the Empire. This left the Yevetha without a central fleet and without a leader, for Nil Spaar was stranded in hyperspace by Sorannan. The remaining Yevethan ships were quickly defeated, and the Republic survived the Black Fleet Crisis.

Battle of Ord Biniir
This struggle was actually two battles, both of which took place during the Galactic Civil War. In the weeks leading up to the Battle of Yavin, the Alliance's Y-Wings managed to defeat the 223rd Imperial Fighter Group and take the planet Ord Biniir from Imperial control. Shortly afterward, on the very day of the Battle of Yavin, the 181st Imperial Fighter Wing managed to destroy the Alliance forces over Ord Biniir and retake the planet. Note that this is most likely the battle that is referenced in the opening crawl of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope.

Battle of Ord Mantell
During the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Ord Mantell was approached by the New Republic to help alleviate the overwhelming rush of refugees fleeing the battlezones. Like many refugee worlds early in the war, it was eventually overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong. The planet was later liberated by a band of soldiers wearing Mandalorian armor. It was believed that their leader was none other than Boba Fett himself, although only Han Solo had any evidence to support this rumor.

Battle of Ord Torrenze
The Old Republic was involved in this struggle, which was brought on when an invading force blockaded the planet of Ord Torrenze. The inhabitants of the planet were unable to fight back, and the invaders mercilessly pummeled the planet's surface with turbolaser fire. In an amazing action of bravery and skill, the crew of the corvette Freedom's Messenger led an Old Republic assault team into the blockade, all guns firing in an effort to clear an evacuation route for the unarmed transports stranded on Ord Torrenze and laden with refugees. Although the Freedom's Messenger suffered a power core breach and was left for dead, its efforts saved the lives of millions of beings.

Battle of Orinda
This struggle for control of the small planet Orinda occurred some nine years after the Battle of Endor, when Imperial Admiral Pellaeon decided that the Imperial Remnant needed to re-assert its power. Within a few weeks, Pellaeon and his forces had captured Orinda and six neighboring systems before the New Republic could react. The Republic sent Wedge Antilles and the Lusankya to Orinda, but the meager Republic fleet was no match for the Imperials. The Super-class Star Destroyer Reaper destroyed the fleet carrier Endurance and most of the Lusankya's starfighters before Antilles withdrew. Orinda remained in Imperial hands for many years afterward, until Pellaeon was defeated and signed a peace treaty with the New Republic's Chief of State, Ponc Gavrisom.

Battle of Praesitlyn
This was the name used by historians to describe the struggle for control of the communications facility on Praesitlyn, during the height of the Clone Wars. The forces of the Grand Army of the Republic were badly outnumbered by their Separatist counterparts, even including the forces of Zozridor Shrike and Freedom's Sons. Only the heroic efforts of Anakin Skywalker allowed the Republic's forces to win the battle and reclaim Praesitlyn, thereby ensuring open lines of communication with remote Republic forces. For his part in the battle, Skywalker was elevated to the rank of Jedi Knight.

Battle of Qoribu
This was the term used by historians to describe one of the opening battles of the Swarm War. In the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, the Colony expanded to Qoribu and its moons, and this expansion caused the neighboring Chiss to begin military actions to stop it. Although the Chiss refused to attack first, they took subtle measures to destroy the hives at Qoribu, such as blanketing a moon with defoliating chemicals in order to starve the hive into leaving. Several Jedi Knights, including Jaina Solo and Zekk, found themselves Joined to the Colony through their relationship with Raynar Thul, and chose to help the Killiks defend themselves against the Chiss.
The fighting over Qoribu was heated, drawing in forces from the Galactic Alliance and the Hapes Consortium, and only came to a halt when Leia Organa Solo submitted a plan to the Galactic Alliance to relocate the Qoribu hives to the Utegetu Nebula.

This bloody conflict occurred on the planet Ando, during the height of the Old Republic. Like many such battles which took the lives of thousands upon thousands of Aqualish, it was blamed on the demilitarization forced on the planet Ando by the Old Republic. The battle was finally ended when both sides agreed to sign the Treaty of Raquish, which forbade either side to launch any sort of attack against the civilian population of either side.

Battle of Reecee
This was the name given to one of the two short battles between the New Republic and the Yuuzhan Vong, which took place just prior to the Battle of Coruscant. While the New Republic's military thought that the Yuuzhan Vong would attack Coruscant from Bilbringi, they had actually been massing a force in the nebual surrounding the Black Bantha. When they discovered that only a token defense force was staged at Reecee, the Yuuzhan Vong moved in to subjugate the planet for their own use as a staging location. The battle would have ended with the Yuuzhan Vong in control of Reecee if Republic forces at Borleias hadn't arrived to augment the meager defense force. This combined force managed to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong ships in the Black Bantha, reducing the Coruscant attack for almost in half.
(NJOSB)
Battle of Ruusan
This two-year-long struggle took place roughly 1,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, during the latter stages of the New Sith Wars, and marked the end of the so-called Dark Age of the Old Republic. Despite the Republic's gradual decline during the Draggulch Period, this event was a prime example of the Old Republic's ability to pacify a recalcitrant group that disregarded the Republic's authority. Ruusan was used as a staging location by the forces of the Old Republic, after the Brotherhood of Darkness established control of the Kashyyyk System. Republic forces launched from Ruusan harrassed Sith forces, forcing the Sith to retaliate. The Battle of Ruusan was something of a misnomer, as it actually referred to a series of seven titantic battles and numerous smaller skirmishes in which the Jedi Knights were led by Lord Hoth and the Army of Light, and in which Lord Kaan served as the commander of the Brotherhood of Darkness. The opening shots were fired in space, as Sith forces launched wave after wav of hit-and-run attacks against Republic warships, before launching an all-out assault that effectively cut off the Republic's ground forces from their main supply lines an reinforcements. Note that The New Essential Chronology indicates that the forces of the Jedi Knights emerged victorious four times in the first six battles, while Darth Bane: Path of Destruction indicates that the first six battles were evenly split, with three victories for the Jedi and three for the Sith. The armies on both sides of the conflict were decimated, but continued to be reinforced and resupplied, in order to renew the struggle for control of Ruusan. Unknown to both sides, Darth Bane had set in motions his own plans to eliminate the Brotherhood of Darkness and institute the Rule of Two. He provided Lord Kaan with the instructions for creating a thought bomb, then falsified a transmission to the Sith warfleet above Ruusan to engage any Jedi ships in the area. This allowed Jedi Master Valenthyne Farfalla to break through the Sith blockade and land reinforcements, giving Lord Hoth and the Army of Light a chance to overwhelm the Sith. In a last-ditch effort to destroy the Jedi, Lord Kaan and his followers created and detonated a thought bomb on the battlefield. In the resulting explosion, every single Sith Lord on Ruusan was obliterated, except one. That lone survivor was Darth Bane, who then took a single apprentice in an effort to keep the Sith alive until such time that they could finally take control of the galaxy. Those members of the Brotherhood of Darkness who lacked any connection to the Force were well away from the blast. However, without the battle meditation holding them to their orders, these rank-and-file soldiers swiftly surrendered to the surviving Jedi forces.

Battle of Selaggis
This was the penultimate conflict between the forces of Imperial Warlord Zsinj and the New Republic fleet led by Han Solo and the Mon Remonda. It was precipitated by a series of events, the first of which was Lara Notsil's defection from Wraith Squadron. She volunteered to join Zsinj's forces, but actually was acting alone to bring the warlord down. She commandeered the use of the Iron Fist's MSE-6 droid fleet, and set up systematic failures of the huge warship's computer, engine, and shield systems. After planting the notion with Zsinj that the New Republic would try to take control of Vahaba - a star system within Zsinj's control - she then began her internal attack. Meanwhile, she had also alerted the Republic of Zsinj's move to Vahaba, and Han Solo had dropped a good portion of his fleet there. He was also supported by the Interdictor cruiser Stellar Web, on loan from Imperial Admiral Rogriss, who was also chasing Zsinj. Solo's fleet nearly caught Zsinj at Vahaba, but they managed to escape into hyperspace. However, Lara had removed any reference to the nearby Selaggis star system, so the Iron Fist and her fleet were dragged out of hyperspace before they had gone more than eight light-years. Solo pursued and caught Zsinj at Selaggis Six, and the battle became a sluggin match. Zsinj was able to call in reinforcements, since the Chains of Justice and a third of his fleet hadn't been able to jump from Vahaba with the rest. Zsinj felt that the tide had turned until Solo's reinforcements arrived from Halmad. The Republic fleet pounded Zsinj, and the warlord was forced to use his last-ditch effort. Employing a mock-up starship known as the Second Death, as well as a "tunnel" created with orbital nightcloaking satellites, Zsinj fled with the Iron Fist into the tunnel as the Second Death was exploded nearby. When Solo's forces sifted through the wreckage, all they found was evidence which supported the destruction of the Iron Fist.

Battle of Sernpidal
This was the name used by historians to describe the New Republic's brief attempt to keep the planet Sernpidal from falling to the Yuuzhan Vong. The outcome of the battle was something of a forgone conclusion, since the Yuuzhan Vong had already infiltrated Sernpidal's government and installed a huge dovin basal in the heart of Sernpidal City. Thus, the battle became a struggle to extract as many refugees as possible from the planet's surface before Dobido smashed into it. Among the dead was the Wookiee Chewbacca, who died so that his partner, Han Solo, could escape the destruction with a hold full of refugees.

Battle of Shedu Maad
This was the final battle of the Second Galactic Civil War. Grand Master Luke Skywalker and the new Jedi Order had fled the persecution of Jacen Solo and the Galactic Alliance, establishing a small base on the remote world of Shedu Maad. The planet was hidden on the edges of the Transitory Mists, and was protected by an area of space known as The Throat. The space around Shedu Maad was filled with navigational hazards, including purplish-black protostars and planetary debris that forced an incoming starship to revert to realspace in order to navigate The Throat. The presence of the Jedi on Shedu Maad prompted Jacen Solo - who had taken up the title of Darth Caedus - to launch a final assault against the Jedi. Caedus managed to track Jaina Solo into The Throat with a blood trail, but the starships of the Jedi Coalition were waiting in ambush. During the firefight that followed, Jaina was able to infiltrate the Anakin Solo and confront her brother, and she killed him in a battle that left her physically and emotionally broken. The death of Darth Caedus brought an end to the battle, which signified the end of the Second Galactic Civil War.

Battle of Shindra's Veil
This was one of the climactic battles fought by Shey Tapani, during the unification of the planets in Tapani Sector some 6,000 years before the Battle of Endor. It was fought by starships within the area of nebular gas known as Shindra's Veil. During the Battle, Shey Tapani destroyed the forces of the Rogue Houses, thereby eliminating any opposition to the unification.

Battle of Singing Mountain
This was the climactic struggle in the battle for control of the planet Dathomir. Warlord Zsinj had controlled the planet for several years, stripping the moon Koratas of ores for use in producing durasteel. When the New Republic discovered Dathomir, and after Luke Skywalker discovered the ways in which the women of the planet used spells to control the Force, a complex struggled evolved. The Nightsister clan decided it was time to destroy the Singing Mountain clan, while the New Republic launched a final assault against Zsinj. The Battle of Singing Mountain saw the Singing Mountain clan finally defeat the Nightsisters, shortly after Gethzerion and her closest advisors were killed while trying to escape the planet. As the Singing Mountain sisters were victorious, so was the New Republic. Zsinj was finally destroyed in a battle over Dathomir.

On Skorrupon, High Inquisitor Volytar discovered the presence of Sia-Lan Wezz during his attempt to subjugate the planet's population. In a fierce battle, Volytar eventually defeated the Jedi in combat, and claimed Skorrupon for himself and the Empire.

Battle of Sluis Van
Following the Battle of Endor, the Imperial Navy was scattered to the distant parts of the galaxy. The New Republic regained a great deal of galactic territory, reducing the Empire to a quarter of its former size. In these small sectors of the galaxy, various Imperial factions vied to supremacy. Grand Admiral Thrawn resurfaced in the Empire about 2 years after the Battle of Endor, and quickly gained control of the Empire and its Navy. He implemented a plan which involved a series of hit-and-run attacks on various planets in remote parts of the New Republic, at the edge of the Sluis sector. He then stole 51 mole miners from Lando Calrissian's Nomad City mining operation. The New Republic, still trying to adjust to the rapid growth of its holdings, was stretched thin trying to repair the damage Thrawn had done while trying to determine his next move. He then recovered the cloaking device that Emperor Palpatine had been creating. It was at this point, with New Republic forces spread out, that Thrawn made his first stab at the Republic. He put the disguised freighter Nartissteu into port at Sluis Van Central. Inside the freighter, hiddened by a new cloaking device Thrawn's engineers had created, were squadrons of TIE Fighters. He then positioned a number of Imperial ships just outside Sluis Van's influence, and had them emerge from hyperspace at a specified time. This coincided with the launch of the TIE Fighters from the freighter's hold. The main objective of the attack was to eliminate one of the New Republic's major shipyards, while stealing as many of the Republic's warships as possible for use in the growing Imperial Navy. This was where Thrawn used the stolen mole miners. He manned them with Imperial spacetroopers, who would bore holes into the hulls of Republic capital ships. The crews would be killed when the atmosphere was sucked into the vacuum of space. The spacetroopers, fully geared for the lifeless vacuum, then could gain control of the ships. However, due to the timely arrival of Wedge Antilles's Rogue Squadron, as well as the arrival of Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, Luke Skywalker, and some other New Republic warships, the attack at Sluis Van was negated. Han and Lando used the mole miners' remote control circuits to send startup commands to the small ships, causing them to fire their plasma jets. This then fried the captured ships' command circuits, rendering the control of these ships inoperable. Neither side was able to claim complete victory. While the Imperials were able to infiltrate the shipyards, they were quickly driven off before any more damage could be done. The Republic, on the other hand, survived its first major threat from the remnants of the Empire, but lost many ships due to the frying of their circuits.

Battle of Snevu
This was the term used by the Chiss to describe one of the many battles of the Swarm War. In this battle, the Killiks in command of the stolen Star Destroyer Admiral Ackbar attacked and leveled the Chiss base on Snevu, much to the chagrin of the Chiss. Jagged Fel had been in command of the forces at Snevu, but was unprepared for the appearance of the Star Destroyer. He ultimately blamed the Galactic Alliance for the loss of the Snevu base, as he concurred with the Chiss belief that the Galactic Alliance had turned over the Admiral Ackbar willingly, in an effort to help the Colony win the war.

Battle of Taanab
It was during this battle that Lando gained recognition for his daring escapades. He had been passing Taanab and had stopped to refuel when a Norulackian pirate raid damaged his ship. While the Taanabians were helping Lando repair his ship, they also told of their plight against the pirates. When one of the natives bet Lando he couldn't beat the pirates, he took them up, and his amazing pilot's skill helped him destroy much of the pirate fleet and foil any subsequent raids. An interesting footnote to this battle was the popular rumor that Calrissian didn't actually save the Taanab farmers himself. An underground legend states that Calrissian was dating Ta-Mara and De-Hoff Greenley at the time, and was caught cheating on both sisters with the daughter of Senator Krystal of Malastare. Tag Greenley, who actually defeated the Norulac pirates, provided Lando with the alibi of being on Taanab, saving the gambler from the wrath of his sisters.

Drommel's flagship, the Guardian, took heavy damage, but managed to flee the battle. Drommel was believed to have survived the battle.

Battle of Tenupe
This was considered the final battle of the Colony's struggle with the Chiss, some five years after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, although there was no clear victory in the fighting. Tenupe sat at the head of the Sparkle Run, connecting the core of the Colony's planets to the rest of the Unknown Regions. The Chiss attacked Tenupe in hopes of capturing it, thereby cutting off the Colony from its sources of supplies and war materiel. However, the Colony was ready for such an attack, and had the advantage of a near-endless supply of soldiers. The Chiss had superior firepower, and were able to blast their way to the surface of Tenupe and establish several strongholds, but they were continually deluged by the sheer number of Killiks in the Great Swarm. Nevertheless, the Chiss held their positions through determination and tactics, and neither side was able to gain an advantage. In order to better observe the Killiks, the Chiss used defoliants to eliminate the jungle canopy created by the mogo trees of Tenupe, but it proved to be of little assistance. Utimately, both sides lost millions of soldiers in the fighting on Tenupe, and the landscape was literally covered by layers of dead bodies. Ultimately, the fighting ground to a stalemate, with neither force gaining any sort of advantage. The fighting came to a halt when Luke Skywalker managed to eliminate Lomi Plo and convince UnuThul to separate himself from the Colony, and both sides were forced to retreat to their worlds and recover from their losses.

Battle of Teth
This battle occurred during the height of the Clone Wars. The forces of the Grand Army of the Republic were led by Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano. The clone troopers under Skywalker's command were forced to scale a vertical cliff wall in order to reach the monastery that served as the Separatist command center. Using ascension cables and magnetic grapples, the Jedi and the clone troopers were able to reach the summit. The Republic's AT-TE walkers were able to use magnetic plates on their "feet" to scale the iron-rich cliff face, then attacked the Separatist battle droids protecting the monstery.

Battle of Thyferra
This battle marked the end of the Bacta War, shortly after the Battle of Endor. Rogue Squadron had been waging the war on its own, having resigned its commissioned with the New Republic in order to personally avenge the deaths of many squadron members at the hands of Ysanne Isard. The Rogues managed to capture not only the Avarice but also the Virulence, the former being renamed the Freedom and leading the attack on Thyferra. Several smaller freighters and transports also lent a hand on the side of the Rogues. The Freedom bombarded the Lusankya - the primary ship guarding Thyferra - with proton torpedoes, destroying its shields and leaving it defenseless in the opening act of the battle. Rogue Squadron added its own torpedoes, and then strafed the Lusankya with blaster fire. The newly recommissioned war cruiser Valiant then joined in, raining lethal firepower on the huge Star Destroyer. Meanwhile, on the surface of Thyferra, Iella Wessiri and Elscol Loro had led a team of infiltrators to join up with the Zaltin and Ashern factions, and worked to destroy the Xucphra resources on the planet. They also managed to intercept Fliry Vorru as he tried to flee, and brought him to Coruscant to stand trial. In space over the planet, the Lusankya began to destroy the smaller ships in the Rogue Squadron fleet, hoping to take them out of the fight while making her own repairs. Then, Captain Drysso opened fire on the Freedom, crippling the smaller Star Destroyer. The Freedom managed to get in some shots of her own, effectively taking out the larger ship's shields and leaving ti defenseless. It was at this time that Ysanne Isard commanded the Lusankya to cover the escape of her personal shuttle, Thyfonian, before both were lost in the battle. Captain Drysso disobeyed the order when the Virulence reappeared, thinking that he finally had the reinforcements he needed to win the battle. However, the Virulence was now under the command of Booster Terrik, and it contained several New Republic fighter squadrons, including Ace Squadron. Led by Pash Cracken, Ace Squadron redoubled the assault on the Lusankya, and began taking sections of the ship out with their strafing runs. Drysso threatened to ram the ship into Thyferra, but he was executed by Lieutenant Waroen, who then surrendered the ship and her crew to Rogue Squadron. The battle ended when Ysanne Isard, fleeing the shuttle Thyfonian, was shot down by Tycho Celchu and Corran Horn. It was later revealed that Isard had been remotely controlling the shuttle, and survived the battle.

Battle of Tiems
This was the name given to the Alliance's attack on the Imperial outpost located in the city of Tiems. The city was bordered by the Blue River and the Gopps Forest, and General Carlist Rieekan tactics in taking the city later became the basis for training holovids used by Alliance commanders. Leading up to the battle, Imperial forces were attacked by rebel groups and forced to retreat to Tiems. Rieekan used his knowledge of standard Imperial military doctrine to lull the Imperial commander into delaying any attacks until naval support could be brought in. As the Imperials waited, Rieekan made the center of his line appear to weaken, giving the Imperials a reason to launch an attack before the air support could arrive. As the Imperials drove into the center of the Alliance line, Rieekan launched his own attack, bringing two units down and around the Imperial flank, trapping the Imperial forces in a circle of Alliance forces. Thanks to the flawless execution of his troops, Rieekan broke the will of his Imperial counterpart, despite the fact that the Imperials held nearly a three-to-one manpower advantage. In the end, the Alliance was able to defeat the Imperials and claim Tiems.

Battle of T'olan
This was one of the most devastating battles of the Clone Wars.
(LJ1)
Battle of Ton-Falk
This battle took place early in the Galactic Civil War. During the battle, the Alliance was able to destroy two Imperial Nebulon-B frigates and a Dreadnaught. This was accomplished because these two ships had to drop their compliments of TIE Fighters very near to the battle, since the TIE Fighters lack hyperdrives. The Alliance starfighters ganged up on the larger, slower ships, and destroyed them. This defeat led the Empire to develop Escort Carriers.
(TSC, ISB)
Battle of Tralus
This was the name given to the battle which was started between the Imperial Grand Admirals Josef Grunger and Danetta Pitta, during their attempt to take control of the Corellian Sector. Pitta had installed himself as the protector of the sector by bribing the Corellian diktat, but Grunger wanted Corellia for himself. In a battle over the planet Tralus, Grunger rammed his Star Destroyer Aggressor into Pitta's own torpedo sphere, destroying both ships and killing all aboard.
(SWI66)
Battle of Turak IV
This battle occurred about eighteen months after the Battle of Yavin, and it was one of the few battles of the Galactic Civil War in which both sides claimed both victory and defeat. The Alliance had been making steady progress in the Parmel Sector of the galaxy, and hoped to draw Imperial General Maltaz into a confrontation on Turak IV, in an attempt to defeat Maltaz and gain the upper hand in the sector. While Maltaz may have been incompetent, Moff Tallis of Parmel Sector hedged his bets by calling the Hell's Hammers to augment the forces that Maltaz would lead into battle. His inability to read the battlefield nearly cost Maltaz his entire force, when he split his army into two forces, hoping to outflank the Alliance and destroy their base. This played into the hands of Commander Torv Keist and the Hitak Harriers, who launched ambush attacks from the caves that riddled the Hitak Mountains. The Alliance's forces outnumbers the Imperials almost five to one at the start of the fighting, and the trap in the mountains was meant to make the odds of an Alliance victory even better. Cut off from the strongest part of his army, General Maltaz told the Hell's Hammers units to hold their position, as he took the remaining force and tried to fight his way to them. This played into the hands of the Alliance forces arrayed around him, and they decimated Maltaz and his command team. The Hell's Hammers refused to wait for Maltaz to reach them, and fought back with such ferocity that they soon evened the odds in terms of manpower. However, both sides too heavy losses in the fighting, and both retreated in order to live to fight another day. The Alliance came to consider the Battle of Turak IV to have been a strategic failure, while the Empire licked its wounds and used the heroic actions of the Hell's Hammers to recruit more soldiers to its armed forces.
(OWS)
Battle of Turkana
During the early years of the Galactic Civil War, the Empire tried to destroy the hopes of the Alliance by eliminating a fleet which had been massing near Turkana. An Imperial Star Destroyer ambushed the main fleet of Alliance Mon Calamari cruisers in orbit around the planet, taking the Alliance forces by surprise. The Alliance, however, successfully repelled the ambush due to the Imperial knowledge of Admiral Ackabr and the introduction of the X-Wing starfighter.
(NEGC)
Battle of Tynna
Following in the heels of the subjugation of Gyndine by the Yuuzhan Vong, this battle saw the New Republic again powerless to stop the advance of the aliens. In the end, Tynna was taken to lend credence to the rumors planted by the Yuuzhan Vong that Corellia and Bothawui were the next targets for invasion. At the Tanallay Surge Complex, the Yuuzhan Vong unleashed a vicious bioweapon into the water supply. In almost no time, the cold blue waters of Tynna were rendered lifeless and toxic. The plan was to spread the New Republic's forces thin in an effort to protect both worlds. In reality, the Yuuzhan Vong struck at Fondor, wiping out much of the starship production facility there. Tynna, however, was ressurected by the Yuuzhan Vong as a factory world from which the Yuuzhan Vong could produce their bio-technology.
(JE, GMR8)
Battle of Uba IV
This was one of the many battles that took place during the Clone Wars, in which the Old Republic failed to destroy a Separatist droid manufacturing facility on the planet Uba IV. It marked one of the first times that Separatist forces used Octuptarra droids to deploy viruses and toxins against the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, earning the droids the nickname "virus droids."
(NEGD)
Battle of Utapau
This was the name used by historians to describe one of the final - if not the final - battles of the Clone Wars. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi led the forces of the Grand Army of the Old Republic to Utapau, after Clone Intelligence Units discovered that General Grievous was on the remote planet. Grievous was on Utapau on orders from Darth Sidious, who had ordered Grievous to sequester the Separatist Council on the planet after the death of Darth Tyranus.
Infiltrating Pau City, Kenobi discovered Grievous' presence on the planet, along with a full force of supporting battle droids. Rather than let Grievous escape again, Kenobi single-handedly attacked Grievous, eventually defeating the half-alien, half-droid General.
During Kenobi's attack, clone troopers led by Commander Cody launched a surprise attack on the Separatist forces on Utapau, swiftly taking control of the planet despite stern resistance from all manner of battle droids.
However, in the midst of the final stages of the battle, Darth Sidious issued the command to execute Order 66, forcing Commander Cody to turn his weapons on his comrade, Kenobi. After the clone troopers appeared to have killed Kenobi, Cody and his clone commanders were ordered to take control of Utapau for the newly-formed Galactic Empire.
(CVD)
Battle of Vanquo
This battle took place during the Mandalorian Wars, some 3,964 years before the Battle of Yavin. Because of its location in the galaxy, Vanquo was within traveling distance of several other front-line worlds like Suurja and Jebble. Thus, it became a haven for refugees who were fleeing the conflict. In a struggle to control the advance of the Mandalorian forces, the Galactic Republic's navy tried to defend this line of planets. Unfortunately, Vanquo was eventually captured by the Mandalorians, giving them a stronghold in the Outer Rim that the forces of the Old Republic were unable to break.
(WOTC)
Battle of Vnas
This Galactic Civil War battle raged near the planet Duro, and the Y-Wing starfighter played a prominent role in its outcome. The Alliance had been trying to free the planet Duro from Imperial control, but they were badly beaten.
(EGV, EGP)
Battle of Wayfar
This was the term used to describe the struggle between the moisture farmers who lived near the Wayfar settlement, on Tatooine, and the Tusken Raiders who raided their supplies, during the early years of the New Republic. The struggle was brief, as the siege of the Tusken Raiders coincided with an attack by a group of desert worms. The Tusken Raiders were forced to fight the desert worms, and eventually retreated into the desert to recover from the fighting.
(GG1)
Battle of Xagobah
This was the name used by historians to describe the Clone Wars battle in which forces of the Grand Army of the Republic attempted to take control of the planet Xagobah and capture Wat Tambor. Despite the fact that Anakin Skywalker was part of the Republic's forces, General Grievous was able to secure the Mazariyan Citadel and take Wat Tambor to safety. Although the Republic ultimately forced the Separatists off Xagobah, they failed to complete the primary mission of taking Tambor prisoner.
(OWS)
Battle of Yag'Dhul
Shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong captured Coruscant and took control of the galaxy for a short time, Nom Anor infiltrated the ranks of the Givin and planned to subjugate the Yag'Dhul System for use as a staging area from which to attack the Core. These plans were nearly thwarted when Corran Horn, Anakin Solo, and Tahiri Veila obtained control of the Stalking Moon and got inside the Yag'Dhul defenses. Eventually, though, the Yuuzhan Vong defeated the Givin resistance and took control of the system. It was during this battle that Nom Anor refused to face Anakin Solo in battle, an event witnessed by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors who had accompanied him. Their control of the system was short-lived, however, as the Yuuzhan Vong simply stopped there attack and departed the system. New Republic forces eventually defeated any alien ships that remained behind and recaptured the planet. Nom Anor, fearful of returning to Supreme Overlord Shimrra and being exposed as a coward, killed all the warriors who had been with him on Yag'Dhul.
(NJOSB)
Battle of Yavin
This Alliance starship was a stolen Imperial customs frigate. It was used by New Republic intelligence operatives working from Black Curs Base. They were forced to land the frigate on Hensara III, when the frigate was intercepted by the Imperial Strike-class cruiser Havoc. The operatives eventually sank the frigate in a deep lake to avoid detection, but lacked the equipment to get it out and make it flyable.
(XWN)
Battle of Yuuzhan'tar
This was the Yuuzhan Vong name for the Second Battle of Coruscant, in which the alien invaders wrestled control of Coruscant from the New Republic. Many Yuuzhan Vong believed that the Battle of Yuuzhan'tar was to have been the decisive engagement that broke the will of the New Republic, but instead it only served to rally the Republic against the alien invaders.
(DW)
Battle Plan Coruscant
This was the codename used by the Yuuzhan Vong Warmaster Tsavong Lah for the invaders' plans to take Coruscant from the New Republic. While two arms of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion fleet struck across the Mid Rim and began moving toward the Core Worlds near Fondor and Duro, a third launched a feint attack near Bilbringi before bypassing the shipyards entirely and heading straight to Coruscant. The alien warships hid within the OboRin comet cloud, and entered the system virtually undetected. Only the intelligence gathered by Han and Leia Organa Solo at Reecee allowed the New Republic to anticipate the eventual attack. While the Yuuzhan Vong ships were moved into position, an entire army of alien warriors - protected by ooglith masquers - infiltrated all levels of Coruscant society. When the attack was launched, the first wave of ships would decimate the Republic's Navy, in preparation for the second wave of ships to utterly destroy the defenses and take control. The warriors on the ground managed to subvert virtually every ground-based military operation, neutralizing key Republic assets.

Battle Rage
This was one of the many ways in which Jedi Battle Meditation could be used by practitioners of the Dark Side of the Force. While the Jedi used the battle meld to enhance their ability to defeat an opponent as quickly as possible, the battle rage was used to simply eliminate an enemy without remorse.
(DN1)
Battle Ragers

Battle Wagon
Created by the Ewok Ephram Warrick and rebuilt by Wicket Wystri Warrick, the battle wagon was a huge battering ram set upon four huge wheels. Mounted on the top of the machine was a bantha skull. King Gorneesh of the Duloks tried to steal the battle wagon in an effort to defeat the Ewoks, but Wicket and his friend Malani managed to escape the Duloks. Just before escaping, Wicket pulled a special lever on the battle wagon, setting of a kind of self-destruct mechanism and destroying the battle wagon.
(ECAR)
Battle Wagon Mark I
This military vehicle, produced by the Otoh Gunga Defense league, was a combination cargo carrier and catapult. It measured eigth meters in length, and had to be pulled into battle by a Gungan soldier commanding a kaadu. The cargo section was filled with energy balls, or boomas, which were launched at an enemy emplacement via the catapult. The battle wagon moved about on several pairs of wheels, in order to minimize the bumps and jolts of moving over irregular terrain.
(SON, TCG8)
Battle Wagon Mark II
Produced by the Otoh Gunga Defense League, this vehicle was the same as the Mark I battle wagon, but without the cargo section. The Mark II still required a Gungan soldier and a kaadu to drag it into battle position.

Battle-diamond Formation
This was a capital ship formation that was developed by the naval forces of the Galactic Alliance as a way to counteract an enemy's deployment of huge numbers of starfighters. In the battle-diamond formation, the Galactic Alliance warships arrayed themselves so that their fields of fire overlapped. This allowed the larger ships to create a sort of turbolaser barrier to incoming starfighters, preventing the smaller ships from getting inside a capital ship's defenses and launching projectile weaponry.
(LF7)
Battlefield Holographic Control Interface
Developed by the Empire early in the era of the New Order, the BHCI was designed to help commanding officers of ground forces monitor and direct their troops in hostile arenas. By placing cameras in the helmets of Imperial troops, and by linking the various audio and video feeds from these troops to a single system, the BHCI allowed an officer to have an unlimited array of views of the battlefield. This gave the officer a wealth of information that would have been unavailable from a command position on the front lines.
(FC)
Battleframe Armor
This was a generic term used to describe any personal body armor that was integrated into a hardened frame or other structure that aided in protecting the wearer. During the final years of the Old Republic, some star systems outlawed the use of battleframe armor, fearing that well-armed individuals would cause more problems than Separatist battle droids or clone troopers.
(BIT1)
Battlegroup
This was the designation of one collection of forces within the Imperial Army. By definition, a battlegroup was formed from four companies of troopers and their staff officers. This a battlegroup was made up of 16,346 men, of which 10,090 were front-line soldiers and troopers. 1,132 repulsorlift vehicles and 318 tanks were assigned to each battlegroup, for transport and protection. The Imperial Army could augment a battlegroup as needed, to ensure that Imperial control over an area was maintained. Under the provisions of the Imperial military, a battlegroup could be increased in size to a unit total of 324,318, with 318,062 troopers and almost as many support droids. 36,084 repulsorcraft and up to 14,480 tanks could be assigned to this fully-augmented battlegroup.

(SWMW)
Battle-meld
This was an enhanced form of the battle meditation that was practiced by the Jedi Knights. Instead of a single being able to control armies and soldiers, the battle-meld employed the combined powers of several Jedi Knights. Based on the technique known as the Force-meld, the battle-meld was sometimes call a Jedi meld or a combat-meld. As in the Force-meld, the battle-meld allowed the participating Jedi to become a stronger entity, with each member of the battle-meld applying their own experiences and strengths to influence the outcome of the fighting. Jedi who participate in a battle-meld can also communicate with each other in the meld, eliminating the need for normal ship-to-ship communication. This technique was developed during the Yuuzhan Vong War, and was instrumental in the New Republic's victory at the Second Battle of Duro.

Baudo, Mendel
This reclusive Aqualish owned the small shipyards that produced the Baudo-class star yacht during the height of the New Order. Known as an eccentric and a perfectionist, Mendel Baudo had each yacht custom-built to its owner's specifications, and only accepted orders from customers who had been referred to him by previous customers.
(SSOG)
Baudo-class Yacht
An organic-shaped starship, the Baudo-class was similar to a broad-bladed dagger in shape. The twin engine pods form a short hilt, and its downward-curving wings make up the hand guard. They also soften the triangular main hull and lend the organic look. The ship measured 32 meters in length, and was powered by a pair of ion engines and a Class 2 hyperdrive. The Baudo-class required a single pilot to operate, and could transport up to eight passengers and 35 metric tons of cargo. The base model was armed with a turret-mounted laser cannon.
The Baudo-class yacht was produced by the shipyards owned by Mendel Baudo, and each ship was custom-built to the specifications of its owner. This meant that each ship was unique in some way from all others, although the underlying drive systems remained common. Because these ships were not exceptionally fast or complicated, the Baudo-class yacht found a following among amateur and experienced pilots. However, purchasing one of these ships required that a customer was referred to Mendel Baudo by another being who had purchased one, since Baudo refused to take orders without a reference. Build time could take as much as a standard year, depending on the amount of customization, because Mendel Baudo personally ensured that each ship was perfect.

Bavos-I Military Space Platform
Developed by Rendili StarDrive, this 1,300-wide space station was developed for use by the Empire. A crew of 600 was required to maintain it, along with 200 gunners. The Bavos-I station was armed with fifty medium turbolaser cannons, fifty anti-starfighter turbolaser cannons, and a turret-mounted bank of concussion missile launchers. It could accommodate up to 100 stormtroopers and 100 additional personnel, and could carry up to 50 metric tons of cargo. Despite its firepower, the Bavos-I was not self-sufficient because of its small cargo storage area. This required that the station receive regular supply convoys in order to remain active.

Bavos-II Military Space Platform
Based on the Bavos-I platform developed by Rendili StarDrive, this 2,500-wide space station was developed for use by the Empire. A crew of 1,600 was required to maintain it, along with 400 gunners. The Bavos-II station was armed with 100 medium turbolaser cannons, 100 anti-starfighter turbolaser cannons, and three turret-mounted banks of concussion missile launchers. It could accommodate up to 150 stormtroopers and 150 additional personnel, and could carry up to 300 metric tons of cargo. This huge increase in cargo space helped make up for the deficiencies of the Bavos-I station.

Thus, when Bazel Warv was rendered unconscious and fell onto the limousine Fel was using to move through the cityscape of Coruscant, Baxton drew his T-21 blaster and prepared for a fight. When Fel explained that the situation needed to be controlled by the Jedi Order, Baxton put away his weapon and kept his mouth shut about the incident. However, he refused to be bullied by the Galactic Alliance Security officers that arrived on the scene, and openly defied them while Jag worked with the Solo family to ensure that no Jedi were taken prisoner by the government. Before Jag and Jaina Solo were able to leave the scene, Baxton had to invoke diplomatic regulations in order to ensure they were not detained, although Captain Atar threatened to find a way around Fel's political immunity if it continued to impede his investigation of the Jedi Order.

Bayaar led them to the clan's leadership, but made no guarantees about their cooperation with the Jedi. Despite their differences, Bayaar found that he liked and trusted the offworlders, and was not happy when the Highborn of the Borokii ordered the Jedi to obtain the white ruff fur of an albino surepp in order to prove their worth. He was quite happy when Luminara managed to obtain the fur, and was equally upset when she was injured in the attempt. However, he was more than pleased to lead a covert "honor guard" to accompany the Jedi back to Cuipernam to deliver their treaty. This team - made from Borokii and Januul warriors - arrived just in time to save the Jedi from an ambush which had been planned by Soergg the Hutt.

Baylan
This man was a noted computer slicer, as well as a respected computer repair technician, working in the Core Worlds during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. He was connected to the computer networks of his time by a BioTech AJ^6 cyborg construct, although he used his own brain to do much of his work. His postings to the HoloNet revealed that Baylan wanted each individual being to have complete control of their own destiny, and not be forced to submit to some corporate demand. He also maintained that the Galactic Senate was full of "bloated, self-important bureaucrats who couldn't find their own planets from orbit", and that the Old Republic was fooling itself to rely on the Jedi Knights to protect it. To this end, much of his work was considered criminal in nature by those in power. Baylan developed a series of seemingly-innocent datapads, which were loaded with sophisticated software that could crack into computer security systems with relative ease. These datapads could be found throughout the galaxy, if you knew the right people, although Baylan himself managed to avoid being taken into custody. To most people working with computers, Baylan was best-known for his slicing ability. He spent much of his time trying to destroy the corporate mindset that business success should be paramount to individual achievement. To this end, all software he developed had several backdoors which Baylan could use to gain access to corporate networks and create chaos. Much of this slicing involved sabotage of financial systems, rerouting credits from corporate coffers into the hands of workers. During the height of the Clone Wars, Baylan posted a long message to Cularin's HoloNet node, imploring the citizens of the Cularin System to leave the system and find another life - one with less chance of an early death - somewhere else. He advocated only fighting if one had to fight; otherwise, you were throwing your life away for something that wasn't real. He claimed that there was no such thing as a "living hero," because heroes were simply people who tried to do a stupid thing one too many times. Baylan hoped that the "fools and dreamers" would find a way to keep fooling around and dreaming, so that the galaxy would have someone to fall back on when the faceless droids and clones finally finished killing each other.

Bayonard
This platform city was erected above the jungles of Cularin. The main platform was located several hundred meters above the trees, in an effort to protect the pristine jungle, out of respect for the native Tarasin. The landscaping of the city was meant to mirror that of the ground below, with several species of native plantlife being cultivated as ornamental plants. Access to Bayonard was restricted to a single landing platform, to ensure that the surrounding environment was maintained. The complete cityscape was considered a an urban recreation of the jungle below it.

Bayonard Landing Area
This was only landing facility located on the platform city of Bayonard, on the planet Cularin, during the final years of the Old Republic. The city officials believed that a single access point for vehicle traffic helped to minimize the impact Bayonard had on the surrounding environment.

Bayrd, Cambion
This man served as Trigdale Metallurgy's Director of Operations on Goroth Prime, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. An obese man with a florid face, he was known as "Goodtime Cambie" to many people within Trigdale and without. His almost buffoonish behavior contributed to the nickname, but belied a sharp mind and devious mentality. Bayrd gained his position through backstabbing and character assassination, and it was known that many of his peers - and some of his superiors - feared for their corporate lives in his presence.

This man was one of the many Jedi Masters whose military acumen and tactical skills were put to the test during the height of the Clone Wars. He was among the many military advisors who toured the Outer Rim Territories to survey the situation aboard the Intervention, when the ship was diverted to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. After following the trail of information stored in Durge's pilot droid to the planet Boz Pity, the Republic force found itself under attack by a droid army commanded by General Grievous. Bayts and Adi Gallia set out first, but Grievous was able to ambush them. After striking Master Gallia and rendering her unconscious, Grievous grabbed Master Bayts by the skull and crushed the life from him.

This Dug was the leader of one of Malastare's largest crime families during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He was a regular guest of Sebolto, as the two Dugs worked together in their endeavors. One of the other Dug crimelords, Bog'Ruhx, issued a bounty for Bazurkah's capture after Bazurkah insulted the Ruhx clan. Bog'Ruhx later extended this bounty to several members of Bazurkah's family, which prompted Bazurkah to issue a bounty for Bog'Ruhx's capture. Jango Fett managed to capture both Bazurkah and Bog'Ruhx shortly after the Battle of Naboom, when he was on Malastare to infiltrate Sebolto's operation.

BBS-909
Produced on Yag'Dhul by Galvronos Givin Interchanges, Limited, this emergency vacuum sealing system resembled a circular control pad. If a starship's hull was ever breached while in sapce, the BBS-909 could be applied over the hole to protect the ship's passengers. Tiny micro-molecular griplocks keep the disk in place, while micro-organisms implanted in the disk were activated by an electric discharge. Once activated, the organisms formed a biological seal around the hull breach, multiplying until a retardant was applied as soon as the ship landed.

Bburru Station
This was the largest of the twenty orbital cities which surrounded the planet Duro. It was known for its wondrous arboretums, which contained many unique and endangered species of plantlife. For many generations, Bburru also served as the capital city of the planet Duro. Leia Organa-Solo discovered that the managers of Bburru had been working with CorDuro Shipping to divert supplies which were destined for the refugees on Duro's surface. During the Battle of Duro, however, Bburru was destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong, along with eighteen other of the orbital cities.

BD-27
This was the model number of a Corellian Engineering Corporation barge driver. The BD-27 was the predecessor to the Action-class series of medium freighters, and defined the basic shape of that transport. A command and crew area was set forward of the engine section, connected by a thin conduit. The entire ship can be connected to a cargo module capable of carrying 75,000 metric tons. The BD-27 measured 100 meters in length, and its automated systems required a only a pilot and co-pilot to operate. The automation often broke down, and required extensive maintenance. This ship had minimal shields and no armament. The BD-27, despite the flexibility of the removable cargo pod, was quickly replaced by larger bulk freighters, and was relegated to use in small operations.
(SWJ9)
BD-3000
Also known as a Bettybot, the BD-3000 was a humanoid droid created to serve as a personal assistant and servant. Resembling a human female in form, the BD-3000 was first produced by LeisureMech Enterprises some fifty years before the onset of the Clone Wars. These units proved to be quite popular, and production continued for many decades, and individual units could be purchased in a variety of colors and finishes. More than twenty-five secondary functions could be added to the BD-3000's basic programming, allowing a unit to serve in such capacities as cook, nanny, or pilot. Because of this flexibility, many BD-3000 were given aftermarket upgrades on the black market, serving as bodyguards or even consorts. After the Clone Wars, ownership of a BD-3000 was deemed a frivolous waste of credits, and sales of new units began to drop. As more and more BD-3000 units appeared on the secondary market, LeisureMech eventually limited sales to the Corporate Sector.

BD-8
This BD-series droid was owned by Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Affectionately known as Beady, this droid was programmed to vigorously maintain the safety and security of the Solos and their companions. This often led to trouble, as Beady sometimes misinterpreted the actions of others as hostile. When the Solos arrived at Yoggoy in search of their children, some five years after the Yuuzhan Vong were defeated, BD-8 was unable to quell its programming when a group of Yoggoy workers tried to offload supplies from the Millennium Falcon without asking permission. UnuThul took offense to the actions of the Solos and their companions, especially after a Yoggoy was injured by Tarfang. UnuThul set out to destroy the weaponry of the Millennium Falcon to prevent further attacks, and BD-8's combat programming kicked in. It marched down the boarding ramp and prepared to defend the ship. UnuThul, however, was too strong with the Force to be denied, and simply used the Force to destroy BD-8 where it stood.

After making some more money, he traded up to purchase a battered old CR90 corvette. He offered his assistance in shipping supplies for the Alliance and the New Republic, until his untimely death. His New Republic supply convoy, en route to Dantooine to supply the Eol Sha colonists, was attacked by Admiral Daala. Her Star Destroyers had been waiting in the Cauldron Nebula, hoping to locate a convoy or other starship. T'nun Bdu was in command of the convoy, which was stripped of its cargo and set free. Bdu himself was interrogated and then released, and was given just enough time to send a distress call to the Republic before Daala's ships destroyed the convoy. T'nun Bdu and all hands aboard the corvette were killed in the explosion.

This daughter of Leniel Beal, this regal Lady was deeply in love with Iann Doaba before he first took the Long Walk. When she learned of his disappearance, Cjaalysce went into the desert to search for him. Her body was found a few weeks later, wrapped around Iann's clothing and his lightsaber. Her body was burned in a ceremonial funeral, and her ashes scattered in the desert. Rumor had it that, beneath her dessicated corpse was the indelible shadow of Iann's body. The shadow, essentially Iann's remaining spirit, followed a portrait of Cjallysce around as long as the portrait survived. Benoni Ulte eventually came to possess the portait, and claimed to have seen Iann's shadow many times.

Beam Cannon
Developed by the Old Republic and used briefly as a weapon aboard the IFT-T hover tank, the beam cannon was a laser weapon that produced an exceptionally strong beam of energy. It wasn't the strength of this beam that made it unusual, however. The beam produced by the beam cannon could pass through multiple targets before dissipating, which allowed the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to strafe the weapon across an advancing force, killing or destroying more than just the front line of attackers.

Beam Fambaa
This was the name used to describe those fambaas that were trained to carry an energy emitter array on their backs during periods of war. The beam fambaa was placed on the battlefield so that it was aligned with the drum fambaa in behind of it. In this position, the powerful energy beam created by the apparatus on the beam fambaa's back could be collected and emitted as a force field by the drum fambaa. Because of this positioning, the beam fambaa could be a more skittish beast than the drum fambaa, which had to stand still in position while the energy beam flowed over its head.

Beam Racer
This was the name of Prince Isolder's personal starcutter, which he flew during the years following the Swarm War. Prince Isolder took the Beam Cutter to Nova Station, shortly after the Second Battle of Fondor, to pick up Ben Skywalker and deliver him to the new Jedi base on Shedu Maad. However, before he could reach Trista and Taryn aboard the Blue Slipper, Prince Isolder's ship was captured by Tahiri Veila and the Anakin Solo. Isolder and the crew were held prisoner aboard the Star Destroyer, but none were ever interrogated or tortured. When Darth Caedus traveled to the Transitory Mists on a mission to eliminate Luke Skywalker and the Jedi Order, he offered Prince Isolder a chance to go free, so long as he convinced the Hapans to abandon the battle. Isolder believed that Caedus was letting him go free to serve as a carrier for a nanokiller that was created to attack his daughter, Tenel Ka, and refused. In anger, Caedus snapped Isolder's neck, then ordered the crew of the Anakin Solo to destroy the Beam Racer where it sat in a hangar. To Caedus, this ensured that the Moffs would be unable to deploy a nanokiller to the Hapans.

Beambaiting
This was the term used by commanders in the Imperial Navy to describe a tactic in which a pursuit line of starships - usually made up of corvettes, and missioned to maintain contact with a retreating enemy fleet - waited until the enemy vessels reached their destination before opening fire. The objective of beambaiting was to provoke the enemy vessels into returning fire, hopefully drawing other enemy vessels into the battle. The pursuit line would then call in reinforcements, which would jump from hyperspace to the battlezone, engaging the enemy with additional firepower and forcing them to abandon their remote base. The tactic of beambaiting was made more effective by keeping the reinforcements well away from the initial battlezone, or not bringing reinforcements in at all, in an effort to keep the enemy from predicting Imperial tactics.

They trained in these groups until they were thirteen years old, at which time they were either chosen by a Jedi Master as a Padawan learner or given other duties outside the Jedi Order. When Master Yoda left Coruscant to command the clone troopers at the Battle of Geonosis, the Bear Clan's training was given over to Depa Billaba.

The Bearer would return with the Key of the Overpeople when the ancient danger had passed and it was time for the Sharu to emerge from hiding. The Bearer was described in the legends as a dark-skinned space pilot who seemed to have a great deal of luck and skill. Any being found to be falsely portraying the Bearer would be staked to the ground in the deepest part of Rafa V's deserts, where the Toka believed that the spirits of the ancient Sharu would deal with the individual as they saw fit. When Rokur Gepta heard this, he sent Osuno Whett to the Oseon System to look for a pilot who fit this description. Whett chose Lando Calrissian as his first candidate, and Lando eventually fulfilled the purpose of the Bearer, releasing the Mindharp for use.

Bearsh
This being claimed to be the First Steward within the Geroon Remnant, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Bearsh was part of a group which mit up with the Chiss expedition that was searching for the remains of the Outbound Flight Project near Crustai. He arrived at Crustai to tell the Chiss - as well as Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker - that the Geroon had come to honor the Jedi Knights who once freed the Geroon from slavery at the hands of the Vagaari. Bearsh was delighted when Aristocra Formbi agreed to provide the Geroon with star charts and other astronomical data, to give the Geroon a chance to locate a new world on which to settle. When the Chiss records failed to produce a suitable world, Bearsh asked Luke Skywalker to petition the New Republic for assistance. Later, when Outbound Flight was discovered on a planetoid in the Redoubt, Bearsh and three of his Gerron attendants were part of the team to make first contact. Only Estosh was left behind, ostensibly due to an injury. It was while aboard the remains of the ship that Mara Jade Skywalker realized Bearsh's earlier transmissions were recorded, and that his explanation of why the Geroons were on the mission was probably a lie. Mara never got a chance to tell the others, because Bearsh and his fellow Geroons set their own plans in motion. Releasing their wolvkils during a meeting with the Managing Council, Bearsh and his comrades quickly killed the Chiss warriors in their group, then forced Uliar, Dean Jinzler, Aristocra Formbi, and their people into a corner. Bearsh explained that they were all to be killed, with only the method to be determined. It was then that Uliar recognized that Bearsh and his companions were, in actuality, Vagaari. Bearsh, a General among the Vagaari, was acting on orders from Supreme Commander Estosh during the mission. The Vagaari had hidden some 300 soldiers aboard their ship, all in suspended animation so that their lifesigns were undetectable by sensors. When they reached the ships of Outbound Flight, they soldiers were reanimated and sent into battle. Bearsh himself tried to eliminate Luke and Mara, but their skills with the Force were more than Bearsh anticipated. As his pirates died in combat around him, Bearsh fled deeper into the ship, and eventually reached the D-Four Dreadnaught just before Estosh and his forces stole the ship. Unfortunately, Bearsh was leading the defense force aboard the Dreadnaught when Luke and Mara intercepted it on the way to the Brask Oto Command Station. Bearsh was shot and killed in the firefight.

Beast in the Mouth of the Mountain
This was the Basic translation of the Ewok name for a massive creature that lived on the Forest Moon of Endor. Ewoks legends told of the creature attacking and killing entire villages of Ewoks, until a blue-skinned Jedi Knight and her machine arrived to dispatch the creature. The creature itself was a massive, spider-like insect distinguished by its six glowing, red eyes and six spindly legs. Its mouth was little more than a tube-like snout filled with clawed tentacles that it used to stun or kill its prey before drawing the prey into its mouth. The beast lived in a huge cavern that, from the outside, looked like the toothy maw of an immense creature. According to Ewok legend, the blue-skinned Jedi Knight managed to impale the beast with several stalactites within its own cave, bringing an end to its reign of terror. After extensive investigation in the wake of the Battle of Endor, it was discovered that the Jedi Knight might have been Aayla Secura, who was on the moon to investigate the construction of a Separatist base there, during the era of the Clone Wars.

Beck-tori
This immense, aquatic parasite evolved on the planet Nam Priax, but had been spread to several other worlds over the history of the galaxy. Resembling a extremely large, elongated leech, a beck-tori was distinguished by its huge mouth. The mouth was surrounded by a mass of thick spines, which were used to grasp prey and begin to grind it up before passing into the throat. Like most parasites, the beck-tori latches onto a host, using its mouth spines to grasp and tear at the host's flesh. Once buried inside the host, the beck-tori begins to deposit its larvae, which grow by consuming the host from the inside out. While an adult beck-tori can exist out of the water, this was not their most unusual trait. All beck-tori had a strong connection to the Force, and could actually use it to heal themselves. The Old Republic tried to ensure that the beck-tori never made it off Nam Priax, but several infestations ddid occur on other planets. Most notably, Mon Calamari suffered an outbreak of beck-tori, which took more than fifty years to finally eradicate.

BedaGorog
According to a story told by UnuThul and Alema Rar, this was the name taken by Beda Ies after she became a Joiner and took control of the Gorog hive of the Colony. According to their story, it was BedaGorog and her daughter, Eremay Ies, whose emotions led to the formation of the Dark Nest. This stood in direct contradiction to the evidence discovered by Luke Skywalker on Kr, where he discovered Welk and Lomi Plo in control of the Gorog. Alema Rar later explained to Master Skywalker that BedaGorog had become the Night Herald of the Gorog, and that she was a Force-sensitive individual who managed to control the Gorog and twist them into the Dark Nest. Alema then claimed that it was BedaGorog, and not Welk, whom Luke killed on Kr during the Qoribu Crisis. This story contradicted what Luke believed to be true, which was its intent, for the Gorog had hoped to drive a wedge of distrust between Luke and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker.

This Glymphid hitman was also one of the Outer Rim's best podracer pilots. Aldar was recognizable by his long, thin snout and gangly arms. It was Aldar Beedo who killed Borzu Nale, the Fluggrian crimelord who was Kam Nale's father, and earned him a bounty in several systems. Beedo was later hired by Wan Sandage to eliminate Sebulba, in hopes that the Dug's domination of the podracing circuits could be broken. However, Beedo was unable to do this during the Boonta Eve Classic race won by Anakin Skywalker. Beedo drove a Manta RamAir Mark IV Flat-Twin Turbojet racer, and finished third in the Boonta behind Skywalker and Gasgano. During the Vinta Harvest Classic race on Malastare, shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Beedo found another chance to kill Sebulba when the Jedi Knights - on Malastare to negotiate a peace treaty for the Lannik - distracted Sebulba in the midst of the race. His shot went wide of the mark, however, and nearly killed the Jedi. Years later, Beedo was finally captured by a bounty hunter, caught in the middle of the Fire Mountain Rally on Baroonda.

Haari Ikreme met with Han Solo and Tobin Elad, when they were scouting a Muunilinst racecourse in poreparation for Luke Skywalker's attempt to win a datacard from Nal Kenuun. Haari Ikreme and many other pit crew members laughed at the fact that Skywalker - a mere human - was entering the race, which prompted Han to defend his friend. In the fist fight that ensued, Haari Ikreme tried to pull a blaster on Solo, but Elad managed to distract the Phlog long enough for Han to grab the blaster. The two humans then made their escape, hoping that Haari Ikreme and his cronies would forget about the scuffle.

This noted pirate was one of the most feared pirates of the New Order. Little was known of his background, but except that he first appeared as an out-of-work spacer in the Outer Rim Territories. After gaining employment on a pirate ship, Beeli found his own calling: seizing other ships. He was famous for his headlong rushes into a captured ship, blasters blazing as he quickly secured it for his group. When the pirate group broke up, Beeli joined forces with several other pirates and formed the Solar Terrors. They were hunted down by the Empire and Beeli quickly surrendered. He was approached by Vocis Kenit and offered a deal: his life in return for service to the Empire. Beeli agreed to help Kenit by pretending to be a privateer team hoping to join the Alliance. In this way, Kenit hoped the Solar Terrors would hunt down the Far Orbit. To insure Beeli's cooperation, Kenit infected the Solar Terrors with Vira606, and rationed out the serum as the pirates performed their roles.

Beeline, Zip
This Drall was one of Coruscant's most colorful criminals, organizing a series of outlaw racing events across the cityworld's surface during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The name "Zip Beeline" was just a pseudonym, created during his early career as a professional racer. He legally changed his name after the fans started screaming for his autograph as soon as he crossed the finish line. An accident during a speeder race on Boonta, caused by Beeline during a championship final, earned his the ire of his fans, forcing him to retire to Coruscant. After spending a few nights at the nightclubs drinking Corellian lum, Beeline was approached to serve as a ringer in the illegal garbage pit races held on the planet. Although he worked for the crimelords, Beeline remained an honest competitor, preferring to use his skills to beat an opponent instead of sabotage.

Beelyard
Once known as The Holy Terror duing the time he spent fighting for the Alliance, Beelyard served under Cody Sunn-Childe during the early days of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. When Sunn-Childe fled the known galaxy, Beelyard went with him. Beelyard, distinguished by his immense body and thin, needle-like fingers, became one of Sunn-Childe's strongest supporters. When Imperial Captain Plikk and her small fleet tried to destroy the floating city Sunn-Childe had created, Beelyard and many others supported Sunn-Childe's plan to fight violence without violence. Rather than destroying the Imperial fleet to save their own lives, Beelyard and the others agreed to sacrifice their own lives to strand the Imperial in between dimensions. Sunn-Childe allowed Plikk's ships to fire on and destroy the city, killing all its inhabitants. While Beelyard was killed, the Imperials were left to ponder their own fate, trapped in a location from which they could never escape.

This Ortolan Jedi Knight was one of the multitude who were forced to take up arms during the height of the Clone Wars. When the Sluis Sector was beseiged by Separatist forces, Nem Bees was assigned to return to his homeworld of Orto and ensure it remained loyal to the Old Republic. On the guidance of Ki-Adi-Mundi, Nem Bees assumed the guise of Ydde, an Ortolan trader who had recently died while offworld. Nem Bees then infiltrated Orto and became part of Ydde's family, while locating an informant within the corrupt government of Belo Tusus. Although outwardly playing the role of a frightened Ortolan, Nem Bees secretly performed various acts of sabotage against Tusus and his Separatist supporters, until he forced the former financial minister to leave the planet. Nem Bees hoped that the worst was over, and began working with Clone Commander Deviss to clean up any remaining pockets of Separatist forces on Orto. Within a week, the command to execute Order 66 was received by Deviss, who killed Nem Bees as he led an assault on a Separatist position.

A great place to fly a skyhopper on Tatooine, Luke Skywalker refined his piloting skills there during the height of the New Order. Located in the Jundland Wastes between the edge of the Northern Dune Sea and Ebe Crater Valley, Beggar's Canyon was named for the hermits who lived there, before they were driven off by Jabba the Hutt. Situated near Ben's Mesa, the canyon was formed from a series of smaller, interconnected canyons which criss-cross the desert, including the Main Avenue, Dead Man's Turn, and the Eye of the Needle. All of these twisting and turning canyons were once the riverbeds of three great rivers that flowed across Tatooine's surface more than 2,000,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. Before Luke Skywalker and his friends used the canyon, it was part of the Mos Espa podracing course. The Canyon later served as a section of the noted Mos Espa Circuit, a swoop racing event held annually during the height of the New Order.

He was often loaned out to the Hutts for sizable sums, but Begraas never botched a job, and his attention span was not wide enough to handle long-term planning activities. Over time, he became the Thaereian Military's ranking pilot, chief flight instructor, and tactical advisor. Begraas owned the modified Z-95 Headhunter Dicer, which he used to attack his targets with stealth and cunning. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Begraas and the Thaereians appeared in the Cularin System, but their intentions remained hidden.

Beheboth
A backwater world with a limited water supply, Beheboth was located off the Hydian Way between Arbra and Golrath. The fourth planet in the Beheboth System, Beheboth was the homeworld of the Tirrith race, and was orbited by three moons. It was originally discovered and settled by Bothan colonists. Over the centuries, the Bothans were eventually outnumbered by human colonists. These colonists were moisture farmers who managed to eke out an existence in peace, and had little to do with the rest of the galaxy. The planet's landmass was covered in dusty, alkaline deserts, and the heat created intense sandstorms that carried salt and alkali into the air. These airborne chemicals, coupled with the planet's small population, led to a number of minor mutations among the colonists. Luke Skywalker hoped to throw off Imperial pursuit by landing on Beheboth, and fell into the struggle between the natives of Beheboth and the brigands who were stealing the water and reselling it at a huge profit. When Longspar was defeated by Luke Skywalker in combat, Darial Anglethorn was able to destroy the water-holding tanks, restoring Beheboth's trapped water supply. Additionally, the native Tirrith seeded the atmosphere with their unusual abilities, bringing rains to the desert for the first time in centuries. In a few short years, the mountainous regions of the planet began turning green, as hardy plantlife took hold in the meager soil.

Behemoth From Below
This mystical creature was believed live beneath the mountains of Aduba-3. A large saurian, the Behemoth was actually a creation of the Dark Jedi Seviss Vaa, who had planned to use it as the basis for a great Sith Army. The creature was originally a native lizard, which had been been mutated by Vaa to become enraged when it was in the presence of a Jedi lightsaber. Vaa was forced to put the Behemoth into suspended animation when war broke out with the Old Republic, and his death at the Battle of Ruusan left the Behemoth hidden below Aduba-3's surface for centuries. It was accidentally set free by a villager form Onacra known only as the Old One, and local legends claimed that the Behemoth was actually the protector of Onacra. Just after the Battle of Yavin, the Behemoth was called forth by Merri Shen's grandfather, in an attempt to oust Serji-X Arrogantus from power. The Behemoth was unusual in that it could fire a blast of coherent light from the crown of its skull, just like a huge blaster. When he failed to control the beast, it began ravaging the countryside. Don-Wan Kihotay, along with Hedji and Han Solo, eventually learned that it could only be destroyed by a blast of pure energy. They used Kihotay's lightsaber as a conductor for the Behemoth's energy rays, focusing them on the creature itself and killing it.

Beidlo
This young B'omarr monk was assigned to be Hoole's escort during the time the Shi'ido worked for Jabba the Hutt, translating ancient B'omarr scrolls to pay of a debt. He was quite jovial and animated for a B'omarr, having been with the order for only a short time before Hoole arrived with his charges, Tash and Zak Arranda. Beidlo's parents had been killed in a Tusken Raider attack, and the monks had taken him in and provided for him. However, Beidlo was one of the victims of Jabba the Hutt's scheme to place criminal brains into new bodies, allowing them to continue their ways without being recognized. Beidlo's brain was removed and placed into a brain spider, while a criminal's brain was inserted into Beidlo's body. When Hoole and Zak defeated Grimpen's plans, Beidlo decided to remain as a brain spider, since he had one day hoped to become enlightened.

Beju
This young man was a Prince of the Beju-Tallah dynasty some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. His mother Veda, the Queen of Gala, realized that the dynasty would not survive for long, as it had grown corrupt and was held in contempt by many of the planet's people. She chose not to simply abdicate the throne to Prince Beju, but opened up a general election to allow the people to choose her successor. Prince Beju was one of the three candidates, although he hated his mother for her blocking of his ascension. The Queen enlisted the aid of the Old Republic, who asked that two Jedi Knights be dispatched to ensure fairness in the election. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi were sent to Gala, but they were hijacked to Phindar by Paxxi Derida before they could get there. However, while on Phindar, the Jedi learned that Beju was working to strike an alliance with the Syndicat. Beju had begun a false bacta shortage on his planet, and needed additional funding to ensure he was elected to fill his mother's place. He hoped to obtain more bacta and then return to Gala with it, in an effort to be recognized as a hero. This would then give the Syndicat a chance to take control of Gala. However, on the day Beju was to travel to Phindar to cement the alliance, Obi-Wan had been dumped on the planet Gala, supposedly without memories, by the Syndicat. He used the Force to ward off the effects of the renewal process, and managed to capture Beju's personal transport and the Prince himself. Obi-Wan then played the part of the Prince when they landed on Phindar. This allowed Qui-Gon and the Derida brothers to rally the populace of Phindar and expose the plans of the Syndicat, but not before Terra recognized Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan quickly played the part of an imperious prince and avoided a confrontation. As Obi-Wan used his impersonation of Beju to expose the Syndicat and bring it down, the real Beju escaped his bonds and managed to regain control of his and return to Gala. Later, as the Jedi discovered that the elections in Galu were being manipulated, Beju's position was tarnished by Lonnag Giba, who began taking matters into his own hands, but under the guise of commands from Beju himself. Giba attempted to assassinate Elan and arrested Queen Veda herself, all under the pretense that Beju was now in command. Beju, after learning from Viso that he was not the true heir, exposed Giba as a traitor and threw his support to Wila Prammi. Beju was selected to serve as one of Prammi's aides, in deference to his years of royal training.

Bel Iblis, Garm
A legendary Corellian who sat on the Old Republic's Senate, Garm Bel Iblis was as charismatic as Senator Palpatine, but not as devious. As Bel Iblis watched, Palaptine quickly took over the Senate and the Old Republic. It was then-Senator Bel Iblis who announced that Corellia and the Corellian System would close its borders to the Old Republic, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, in an effort to avoid the turmoil surrounding the separtist movement of the day. He was quick to point out that Corellia was not seceding, but rather going into a period of Contemplanys Hermi, which literally meant "meditative solitude." When the New Order was established, Palpatine sought out Iblis on Anchoron and murdered his family, although Iblis found a way to escape before they could kil him. He made contact with Bail Organa and Mon Mothma, and was influential in organizing the Rebellion and creating the Corellian Treaty. However, when Mon Mothma's charismatic personality began to take over the growing Alliance, Bel Iblis felt she was becoming too strong, and left the Alliance to fight the Empire on his own. He led a group of freedom fighters, striking against the Empire from a number of hidden bases. Among his compatriots, he was known as the Commander. Bel Iblis continued to stab at the Empire following the Battle of Endor, although he turned his attention to the New Republic. His prejudice against Mon Mothma told him that she would soon make the Republic a dictatorship. Following a successful attack on a Ubiqtorate base on Tangrene, Bel Iblis met up with Borsk Fey'lya, who set him up with a covert supply line in hopes that he could sway Bel Iblis to rejoin the New Republic as one of his supporters. He was later discovered by Han Solo and Lando Calrissian, and he was drawn into the New Republic. He reluctantly decided to help the Republic recover the Katana fleet, and later made a peace with Mon Mothma and joined the New Republic. This relationship failed when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, however, as Bel Iblis saw the same petty bickering and in-fighting that led to the fall of the Old Republic. Rather than be caught up in the machinations of Borsk Fey'lya, Bel Iblis again resigned his commission and set out on his own. He continued to command at the Republic's base on Fondor, but had split from acting directly for the New Republic. He established a personal base on Talaan, from which he commanded three distinct fleets. As before, Bel Iblis gathered to him a crack team of soldiers and officers, and began attacking the Yuuzhan Vong from hidden locations. He was again convinced to rejoin the Republic, this time by Luke Skywalker, and brought his fleets to Ebaq 9 as part of the Republic's ambush of Yuuzhan Vong forces during the Battle of Ebaq.

Belarus-class Cruiser
One of the earliest starship designs approved by the New Republic, the Belarus-class saw limited production. It was designed by Loronar from their popular Strike-class cruiser, and was a bit more efficient in terms of its crew complement but much less adaptable in terms of modularity. Its single-design construction made it cheap to produce. The weapons systems on the Belarus-class cruiser were improved laterally, with 5 turbolaser cannons, 5 turbolaser batteries, 2 ion cannons, and 2 tractor beam projectors on each flank, but the rear quarter was virtually defenseless. Five additional turbolaser cannons, an ion cannon, and 4 tractor beam projectors protect the forward quarter, while only a pair of tractor beam projectors were found at the rear. The Belarus-class measured 400 meters in length, was equipped with a Class-2 hyperdrive, and required a crew of 1,753, with 125 gunners and room for up to 410 troops.

Belasco
This planet was a member of the Old Republic. It was a relatively wealthy world which was controlled by a monarchy, but over time the government was changed to a democracy. Jenna Zan Arbor used the planet and its government to help fund her experiements into the workings of the Force, seeding the planet's oceans with a bacteria that she had engineered. She would come to the "rescue" of Belasco, only to discover that the bacteria had come back seven years later. The Belascans accepted her explanation of a recurring baceterial infection, and Zan Arbor made a great sum of credits by selling her "vaccine," which actually caused the bacteria to grow faster until the population could not sustain itself. The bacteria then went into a period of remissions before regaining strength again and requiring more of the "vaccine." The bacteria was isolated by Tahl and the Jedi Knights on Coruscant, and a permanent solution was enacted.

This man was known as a loner and a rebel who never used conventional wisdom in his daily life. He arrived on the moon of Tilnes in an effort to make a living as a crystal miner, and decided to act on a series of rumors which spoke of a deep chasm filled with easily harvested crystals. However, no one ever returned from the site,and none of the miners would even think about launching an expedition to the chasm. Kaernor, however, saw the opportunity to make himself wealthy, and decided to find the chasm himself. Setting out on his own, since no one would help him, Kaernor hoped to bring back enough crystals to prove the site wasn't cursed, then return with a larger crew. However, Kaernor never returned from the chasm. His shuttle was never located. The chasm was later dubbed Kaernor's Smile, and the story of Kaernor Belasstie was retold as "Kaernor's Story."

Belbullab-22
This unique starfighter design was produced during the height of the Clone Wars. Designed by Feethan Ottraw Scalable Assemblies, the Belbullab-22 had a streamlined central fuselage that measured 11.4 meters in length, with the cockpit mounted at the rear of the ship. Note that the Star Wars Databank indicates that the Bebullab-22 measured just 6.7 meters in length. Two stubby wings connected the main drive pods to the fuselage, and a dual blaster cannon was mounted atop each wing. Note that the Star Wars Databank indicates that the weapons of the Belbullab-22 were triple blasters. A secondary missile launcher provided additional firepower. The Belbullab-22 was protected by impervium plating, a rarity at the time because most impervium was controlled by the Old Republic for the production of clone trooper armor. General Grievous' Belbullab-22, known as the Soulless One, was captured by Obi-Wan Kenobi on Utapau, after the Jedi Master managed to destroy the General and avoid being killed by the clone troops led by Commander Cody. Obi-Wan was pleasantly surprised to find that, in addition to its twin ion drives, the ship was equipped with a hyperdrive.

He was once a prolific explorer, but retired from fieldwork to run the Institute. He believed that archaeology and exploration should not be rushed, since the artifacts that could be found had already waited several millennia. He was part of a faction of educators who felt that the New Republic had basically abandoned Obroa-skai to the Yuuzhan Vong, after the planet was destroyed in an unprovoked Yuuzhan Vong attack. He also blamed the Jedi Knights for the death of Elegos A'Kla. After the New Republic Senate explained that there was no way they could have saved Obroa-skai, bel-dar-Nolek threatened to enter into an alliance with the Yuuzhan Vong in order to recover the data stolen or lost when Obroa-skai was devastated. .

Belden, Eppie
A strong-willed woman, the former Eppe Antruse was married to Bakuran senator Orn Belden, and was a member of the Bakuran resistance to Imperial nationalization. Eppie was later known as a "circuitry commando," using computers and electronics to assist in the sublimation of Imperial efforts. She was 132 standard years old at the time of the Battle of Endor, married to Orn for 101 of them, and suffering from what Imperial doctors had described as a degenerative brain disorder. In reality, she accepted an Imperial parasite that incapacitated her in exchange to her husband's protection. After Orn's death at the hands of Imperial interrogators, Eppie struggled to help Luke Skywalker and the Alliance overthrow the Ssi-ruuk as well as the Empire. Following the Battle of Bakura, the parasite in Eppie's brain was revealed and removed, and she quickly regained strength.

Belden, Orn
This enignmatic and controverisal Bakuran senator was 164 standard years old at the time of the Battle of Endor, and was living with his second prosthetic heart. Shortly after the Empire nationalized Bakura, Orn began supporting the Alliance and its plans to overturn the Empire. Imperial Governor Wilek Nereus wanted to eliminate Orn, but the Senator's public position prohibited any direct action. Instead, Nereus modified the taxation system to virtually impoverish Orn and his wife of 101 years, Eppie. After Eppie was caught during an anti-Imperial demonstration, Nereus forced her to be implanted with a parasite that damaged her brain, rendering her virtually senseless. Orn was forced to spend most of his free time tending to her needs. After the Battle of Endor and the arrival of the Alliance on Bakura, Nereus had Orn arrested for collaborating with Leia Organa. He died during an interrogation session, although the Imperials blamed it on the Alliance team and Luke Skywalker.

Belderone
This planet, located in the same star system as Kulthis, was chosen by the Separatists as a remote hiding place during the height of the Clone Wars. General Grievous was placed in charge of removing the leaders of the Confederacy of Independent Systems to Belderone, to protect them from being captured and interrogated by the Old Republic. However, word of the transfer leaked out to the Republic after Nute Gunray's mechno-chair was captured on Cato Neimoidia, and a task force led by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker scored a resounding victory over the Separatist forces at Belderone. Grievous was forced to flee the system in order to protect his charges. However, in order to clear his escape route, Grievous destroyed several ships carrying refugees from the surface of Belderone. More than ten thousand refugees were killed, along with twenty-seven Jedi, during the brief conflict. Years later, Belderone was the site of an Imperial laboratory, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The natives of Belderone pledged their support to the Empire, and disowned their rebellious brethren on Kulthis. Despite their pro-Imperial stance, the natives of Belderone welcomed the Firrerreo refugees who fled Firrerre after the Empire destroyed the planet, during the height of the New Order. Their friendliness changed during the Yuuzhan Vong War, when the alien invaders convinced the natives to turn on their Firrerreo neighbors. Many Firrerreo were killed in the small civil war, allowing the Yuuzhan Vong to gain a stronger hold on the planet.

They were known to have been the enemies of the Firrerreo, until the Belderonians sold information on the Firrerreo to the Yuuzhan Vong, shortly after the Battle of Coruscant. After the Yuuzhan Vong wiped out the Firrerreo civlization, they set about destroying the Belderonians.

Beldon
This huge, floating creature inhabited the lower atmosphere of the planet Bespin. The average beldon was a balloon-like gasbag that consumed the gases that swirl around the outer, molten layers of Bespin's core. Occasionally, beldons would rise into the upper atmosphere, feeding on the aerial algae and plankton by dropping thin tentacles into the clouds. Many gas prospectors who came into contact with beldons claimed that the creatures gave off tibanna gas as a by-product of digesting rethin, metals and other elements. This was proven only after the Empire's garrison on Cloud City was eliminated, in the wake of the Battle of Endor. The management of Cloud City, therefore, made it illegal to hunt beldons. Another unique characteristic of the beldon was that it surrounded itself with a low-power electrical field. This field appeared to have no purpose, but may have allowed the beldon to sense the approach of danger.

Beldorian
This large Hutt once trained as a Jedi Knight, during the Old Republic. Like all Hutts, his ego often preceeded him, and he prefered to be called Beldorian the Splendid or Beldorian of the Ruby Eyes. He had a strong affinity for the Force (a trait not often found in Hutts), but had no real control. He claimed he was sent to the planet Nam Chorios with Taselda, as part of a mission requested by their Jedi Masters to investigate the planet's connection to the Force. However, it was believed that they went to Nam Chorios hoping to obtain additional strength in the Force. He was drawn to the planet by its unusually high concentration of the Force, and found himself vying for the control of the small settlement there with Taselda. Beldorian's limitations were obviated by his inability to form his own lightsaber, so he attempted to steal Taselda's in an effort to obtain complete control. He failed at this, but had captured the interest of Dzym. The huge droch used Beldorian much as he had Taselda, gathering strength from his limited control of the Force. In this way, Beldorian surplanted Taselda as the leader of the settlement. This arrangement lasted until Dzym took control of Seti Ashgad and put the human in Beldorian's place. The Hutt continued to live on Nam Chorios, never escaping from Dzym's ultimate power. It was Beldorian who bargained with Dymurra for the use of several Loronar synthdroids as part of Dzym's plans to take control of the galaxy. Beldorian briefly enslaved Callista, when she tried to discover the Force on the planet, but she escaped him and fled to the mountains. He and Ashgad had a well-publicized struggle for control, which lasted until Dzym forced Ashgad to capture Leia Organa-Solo. Beldorian tried to control Leia's untapped potential for the Force, in an effort to take Taselda's lightsaber and defeat Ashgad. In this effort, Beldorian managed to recover the lightsaber. He intercepted Leia and Luke Skywalker as they tried to repair a ship and take off after Dzym and Seti Ashgad, and became engaged in lightsaber combat with Leia. Leia, having trained with Callista, managed to defeat the Hutt, slicing him open and mortally wounding him.

Located on the edge of the Core, Belgaroth was a rugged world which was dominated by mountain ranges and rocky tors. Two large oceans of mustard-brown water broke up the landmass, and a single city - Belgar - provided homes for the planet's inhabitants. The planet's inhabitants were known as Belgarians, as was just about everything else on the planet. Seasons were defined by how wet or cold they were, and very few beings ever traveled to Belgaroth without a good reason. It was first settled some 600 years before the Battle of Naboo, and was named for Belgar Overlord and Roth Skimm, the two explorers who discovered it. When the Empire took control of the galaxy, Belgaroth was chosen as a tesing ground for new weaponry, and its moons, Tregan and Tyrel, bore the brunt of manmy long-range weapons.

Believers
This was a group of Force-sensitive beings who emerged in the Cularin System, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. The Believers, whose existence was discounted by the Jedi Knights at the Almas Academy, were dedicated to the study and practice of the Dark Side of the Force. The members of the Believers understood the history of the Sith, but chose not to obey Darth Bane's Rule of Two. Instead, the growing number of Believers hoped to gain more and more power, in the hopes of striking back against those who were deemed their enemies. All Believers wore a distinctive tattoo that resembled the spire of the Sith fortress on Almas, with a broken lightsaber at its base. As the troubling events in the Cularin System played out during the Clone Wars, more and more of the Jedi in the system began to turn toward the Dark Side and join the Believers, making the rumors of their existence more of a fact. It was eventually discovered that the Believers were using the ancient Sith temple on Almas as their base of operations. Within this base, the Believers perfected a virus that made most beings ill, but was fatal to the Caarite race. They planned to use this virus against the Metatharen Cartel, hoping to eradicate them from Tilnes once and for all. Although the virus seemed initially successful, the discovery of its mutagenic effects on specific Caarite individuals and other races led the Cularin authorities to do their own investigation on the virus samples that were recovered from Tilnes. After their involvement in the Tilnes plot was revealed, the Believers abandoned the temple on Almas and went underground. They later resurfaced when the Darkstaff tried to protect itself from the group of freelance agents who discovered its linkage to the shadow lurkers and the Oblee. The Darkstaff was in the possession of Len Markus at this time, who had found it within the Cularin Asteroid Belt.

Belkadan
This planet, located in the Outer Rim's Dalonbian sector, was the site of the ExGal-4 outpost shortly before the start of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. This was the first planet on the Yuuzhan Vong Vector Prime, and was destroyed in order to draw attention away from the Yuuzhan Vong base on Helska. The planet was, at one time, dominated by dalloralla tree jungles, and was a beautiful wilderness at the edge of the galaxy. Yomin Carr unleashed a colony of dweebits on the planet, which quickly multiplied and affected the plantlife on the planet, rendered the planet's atmosphere a stormy, toxic soup which killed all life. However, just two months after the initial invasion, Belkadan seemed to return to a normal life. Plants and animals were discovered by New Republic scouts, although Luke Skywalker and Jacen Solo discovered that the lifeforms were actually Yuuzhan Vong biological constructs tended by weakened slaves. The native plantlife had been overtaken by dense, green vines that provided nutrients and energy to the growing yorik coral, and Belkadan itself had become a breeding ground for coralskippers.

(JSF)
Bellassa
This planet was believed to have been one of the first worlds to experience the true nature of the Empire, during the early months of the New Order. Prior to the Clone Wars, Bellassa produced a portion of the galaxy's mutonium, before its mines ran dry. During the Clone Wars, Bellassa had sent its own army to augment the Grand Army of the Republic, but it chose to remain an unarmed world that lobbied for peace at every turn. Many believed that this was why it was targetted for subjugation by the Empire, during the early months of the New Order. The elected government was removed and replaced with Imperial supporters, journalists were eliminated, and any citizens who rebelled were jailed without a trial.
About a year after the Clone Wars, the Imperial forces on Bellassa discovered that many of the demonstrations were being staged at the urging of Ferus Olin, who had gone into hiding in the mountains. In order to put a stop to the riots, Imperial Inquisitor Malorum ordered that hundreds of citizens in the city of Ussa be arrested. Under the so-called Order 37, the citizens would be executed if Ferus didn't turn himself in. Ferus, aided by former Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, was able to free the prisoners and escape before the Empire could do any more harm.
This spurred the native population to maintain their rebellion, but it also attracted the attention of Emperor Palpatine himself, who feared that a successful uprising on Bellassa would cause other planets to stage their own rebellions. Thus, he sent Darth Vader to the planet with Ferus, hoping that the young man's presence within the Imperial forces would help with the planet's subjugation.
(LJ1, LJ6, LJ7)
Bellassan
This was the name given to the human inhabitants of the planet Bellassa. The typical Bellassan greeting involved the gripping of each others' shoulders and looking into each others' eyes. During the early years of the New Order, the Bellassan population was one of the first to stage successful rallies and insurrections against the Imperial forces that subjugated them. Resistance leaders on other planets kept an eye on Bellassa, hoping to use any success there as a springboard for their own rebellions. However, Emperor Palpatine also recognized the importance of the Bellassan rebels, and sent Darth Vader to deal with the situation personally. Vader brought Ferus Olin with him, hoping that the sight of a popular Bellassan working with the Empire would help persuade the Bellassans to openly join the Empire.

Bellassan Project
This was the name given to the Imperial plan to retool the various inudstrial centers of the planet Bellassa, eliminating the existing technologies to make way for the development and production of high-technology for power conduits and artificial atmosphere generators. Initiated just over a year after the end of the Clone Wars, the Bellassan Project attracted a number of highly-skilled scientists and technicians who agreed transplant themselves and their families to Bellassa.
The project was overseen by Imperial Governor Wilhuff Tarkin, who had Darth Vader as his primary source of enforcement. Ferus Olin was brought in as the Bellassan liaison, the poster boy for the native Bellassan who embraced the New Order and the stability and peace it brought to the galaxy.
Although Tarkin promoted the project as an "ambitious and unparalleled voyage into research and discovery," those individuals who were forced to work for the Bellassan Project soon discovered that it was something much more insidious. The transplanted families, as well as the families of the native Bellassan workers, were held under tight security by the Imperial forces on Bellassa, as an incentive for the workers to perform their jobs at the highest level possible. Further investigation by Ferus Olin and Roan Lands revealed that the Bellassan Project was not about power conduits and atmospheric processors, but weapons and infrastructure for a massive project that was somehow linked to the planet Despayre.

Belsavis
This frozen world was located in the Ninth Quadrant, near the Senex Sector in the Outer Rim Territories, and was considered unremarkable by many explorers. Belsavis was originally discovered many centuries before the Great Hyperspace War, but was merely another world in the frontier of, what was at the time, the Outer Rim. Its frozen surface was dotted by strange volcanoes that left dark smudges on the landscape, and scientists soon found that the ice in the equatorial regions shifted and moved in unusual ways. Further investigation revealed the remains of a prison facility that had been constructed by the Rakatan Empire, and much of the prison remained operational. Scientists were confronted by guard droids that prevented them from researching the strange stasis chambers that still held slumbering criminals of unusual alien species. The Galactic Republic's Strategic Information Service decided to take over the prison facility, hoping to use it for its own needs. Known as The Tomb, this prison facility was used to store the worst Sith and Mandalorian criminals during the Great Galactic War. This prompted a military response from the Sith Empire, and Belsavis saw many battles before the war was finally ended.
In the millennia that followed, Belsavis was once again relegated to minor status as exploration of the galaxy pushed beyond its location, and the world was later deemed to be part of the Mid Rim. The planet remained an independent ally of the Galactic Republic, although the few beings that remained on Belsavis struggled to survive, living in the native jungles that could be found along the equator. Over time, the jungles were reduced to small clumps, as the planet's volcanic and seismic activity destroyed entire tracts of land. Some time before the Battle of Naboo, the Jedi Order began establishing small outposts on Belsavis to serve as safehouses and remote learning centers. These outposts were covered by protective domes in order to preserve both the jungles and the settlements found within them. The jungles, which once filled the planet's volcanic rift valleys, produced vine-silk and vine-coffee. The domes were kept safe from the planet's geological activity by apex-mounted antigrav support systems, and were equipped with special light-amplification systems to keep the jungles warm.

(SOC)
Belsus
This was one of the many moons of the planet Gentes. During the Clone Wars, the Separatist forces under the command of General Grievous maintained control of Gentes and the Anoat System from a base on Belsus. Although Belsus was an arid world capable of sustaining life, Grievous ordered his droid armies to eliminate most of the population of the moon, in order to maintain the secrecy of his base. The reason for the secrecy surrounded Grievous' plans to meld the Force-sensitivity of captured Jedi Padawans to specialized Geonosian technologies, in an effort to create a Force-sensitive version of himself. The plans of General Grievous were thwarted by a small group of renegade Jedi led by Master B'dard Tone, who gave his life so the Codi Ty could escape with the younglings. Flynn Kybo then triggered a massive explosion, combining liquid fuel with the magma that flowed from Belsus' crust, in an effort to destroy Grievous. Flynn died in the explosion, and Belsus itself was nearly obliterated, but Grievous eventually escaped.

Belt-Runner I
This was one of the floating stations Lando Calrissian used to monitor and maintain the ships running through Lando's Folly, near Destrillion and Dubrillion. The station itself measured some 284 meters in length, and required a crew of 86 to keep it maintained and running. For insurance, Lando kept the station's twenty turbolasers primed an active. The specially-adapted TIE starfighters used to run the asteroid belt were protected by Belt-Runner I with a system known as collision shields, a combination of repulsor fields, shields, and defensive arrays to protect the small ships, all of which were operated from the remote station. When the Yuuzhan Vong moved to wipe out Dubrillion, Lando was forced to use his forces in a defensive capacity. His ships were not designed for this, however, and when Belt-Runner I took heavy fire, it was forced to withdraw the shielding energy it provided to the starfighters in order to protect itself. This was not enough to save Belt-Runner I, though, as the station continued to take heavy fire from the Yuuzhan Vong and was eventually reduced to cinders.

Belt-spat

When the Lusankya was refitted, following the Battle of Coruscant, for use as a weapon against the Yuuzhan Vong worldship blockading Borleias, much of the ship's central core was removed. The huge space, running the length of the ship's keel almost to the engines, was known as the Beltway. When completed, the Beltway was essentially an immense needle-shaped ramming device. This became the centerpiece of Operation Emperor's Spear, a reference to the false nature of the Starlancer Project and to the Beltway's shape.

Beluine
Trained on Coruscant at the best medical institutions, this pale-skinned man was a noted geneticist and phsyician who worked in the medical profession during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Doctor Beluine was contacted by Boba Fett, to serve as his personal physician, when the bounty hunter discovered that his aging body was rapidly degenerating. Doctor Beluine tried to work with the Kaminoans who had created Fett, but without the knowledge of Ko Sai and Taun We, their efforts at forestalling Fett's decline went for naught. By his estimates, Doctor Beluine believed that Fett had a year or two to live, and was reluctant to give the bounty hunter this news. Thus, he was surprised when Fett began to make a recovery, since none of his earlier efforts had proven successful. He accompanied Fett to Mandalore to monitor his progress, and eventually learned that Fett had been given some kind of drug or vaccine by a former clone commando.
Doctor Beluine's presence on Mandalore was fortuitous for Fett, after he was able to recover the carbonite-frozen body of his former wife, Sintas Vel. Doctor Beluine assisted Madrit Vasur in bringing Sintas out of the carbonite, and monitored the progress of her recovery over the ensuing weeks.

After establishing the Canyon Mining Facility, Bemm and his pirates soon became wealthy. He urgently requested that Luke Skywalker come to the planet Canyon to investigate the strange crystals discovered in the mines there - Bemm thought they might be useful in the construction of lightsabers. This was was all a carefully constructed ruse, as Bemm hoped to lure Skywalker into a trap and deliver him to Advisor Bregius Golthan. When Skywalker himself didn't show up, Bemm captured the New Republic agents who did arrive.

Benb was assigned to the team that worked on the refitting of the warship Leveler, and served as the chief technician during the ship's work-up cruise. This meant that Benb was caught in a combat situation when the Leveler was diverted by Captain Gilad Pellaeon on a mission to rescue Agent Hallena Devis from the planet JanFathal. This was fine with Benb, since hardship pay kicked in as soon as the firing started, and the near-constant work to keep the ship running meant that Benb and his civilian crew were also earning triple-overtime pay.

Bendu
This sect of non-confrontational monks made their home in a monastery, high in the Andobi Mountains of the planet Ando Prime. Their beliefs and their village have remained unchanged for hundreds of years. The symbol of the Bendu monks was a circle joined to eight spokes, signifying the number nine. This symbol represented the presence of The Force in a unified galaxy, and was later used by the Old Republic as a symbol of its authority. The eight-rayed circle was later perverted by Emperor Palpatine, who created a six-spoked symbol for the Empire. Note that Star Wars: Episode III Incredible Cross-Sections indicates that the Bendu symbol was modified to have six spokes by the Jedi Knights, following the Unification Wars that formed the Old Republic.

Benelex himself was severely injured in the attempt, and his bounty hunter days were cut short. In order to repay the debt, the vice president funded Benelex's dream: the Benelex Bounty Hunters Guild.

Benelex Bounty Hunters Guild
Headquartered on Paquallis III, Benelex once held Jodo Kast as one of its hunters. This guild was a corporate offspring of the Drearian Defense Conglomerate, the result of Corvastan Benelex's rescue of the son of one of DDC's vice presidents. Over the years, Benelex developed an intense rivalry with the Tresario Bounty Hunters Guild.

Benevolence
This Nebulon-B frigate was one of the primary medical ships of the former House Pelagia naval fleet. During the Mecetti Purge, much of the House Pelagia fleet was destroyed, and the Benevolence was damaged. The Herglic merchant Melchi took command of the ship and began coordinating a relief effort. In reward for his service, Melchi was awarded full command of the Benevolence by House Pelagia. The Great Council voted to fund a complete refitting of the ship, creating a state-of-the-art medical frigate. Melchi and his crew then traveled throughout Tapani Sector, providing medical service wherever needed.

Bengel Shipbuilders
This small construction corporation was based on the planet Ord Thoden, in the Dynali Sector of the galaxy. Known for its space station designed, Bengel Shipbuilders gained the notice of the galaxy when it released the XQ1 Space Platform. The XQ1 was originally designed and built for use in orbit around Ord Thoden, but was chosen by the Corporate Sector Authority for its efficiency and utility as a waypoint and transit station. The CSA ordered huge numbers of these stations, allowing the Bengel Shipbuilders to expand at an incredible pace. The profits realized from the production and sale of the XQ1 allowed Bengel to design and develop the XQ2 Space Platform, during the height of the New Order.
In the wake of the success of the XQ2, the Bengel Shipbuilders were forced to lease construction facilities from a number of other shipbuilders, and fell victim to the heavy debts incurred in these leases. Bengel was unable to earn enough credits to become profitable, and was eventually bought out by the Tenloss Corporation. Tenloss continued to produce the XQ2, although Bengel managed to sell the design rights to the XQ3 Space Platform to Xizor Transport System.

This Sullstan male was one of the few members of his race to actually be fired from the SoroSuub Corporation, although Benmub truly deserved his fate. At least, that's what most other Sullustans felt. During the early years of the New Order, Benmub was accused of accounting sabotage while in the employ of another corporation, although he never revealed this other employer during his trial. Later, he took a job as "Sullustan Relations Manager" with Sienar Fleet Systems on Sullust, an act that left other Sullustans with the impression that it was been Sienar who hired him for the sabotage. For his own part, Benmub never said anything more than he took the Sienar job for the challenge it presented, and he never discussed his trial.

Bennings was quickly avoided by other crew members, forcing the shadow lurker to attempt to possess others. The combination of these possessions led the crew of the Stark Wing to go mad, and they began to kill each other in fright, or in fear of being possessed themselves. Eventually, the entire crew was shot and killed in a massive firefight, leaving the Stark Wing adrift.

This man, distinguished by his dark, hooded eyes, was one of the early leaders of a resistance group that opposed the Galactic Empire, during the early years of the New Order. He agreed to meet with Ferus Olin and Flame to discuss expanding the Moonstrike rebel group, but became disgruntled when the starship they were travelling on had to stop on Hallitron-7 for repairs. The planet was the site of a large Imperial outpost, and Boar Benu did not like being stuck in enemy territory. Although they were able to escape without being captured, Boar Benu remained argumentative, and openly questioned every move Ferus made. This placed him under suspicion when it was learned that an Imperial spy was in their group, but nothing substantial could be found to identify Boar Benu as the traitor. It was later learned that Flame was the traitor, when it was revealed that she was actually Eve Yarrow. A second traitor was discovered when General Toma revealed that he had also been working with the Empire. Their information allowed Darth Vader to track the Moonstrike rebels to Ferus Olin's asteroid base, which the Dark Lord subsequently destroyed. It was believed that Boar Benu was among the many rebels who were killed in the explosion.

Ber'asco
The leader of the Charon race, Ber'asco was also the commander of the starship Desolate. He had his natural body armor augmented by his bioscientists to the point that he was virtually indestructible. His rise to power within the Charon death cult had led him to believe that he was the Final Prophet, meant to lead his people to extinguish all non-Charon life and lead the Charon into the Void. However, even after eliminating all life in Otherspace, Ber'asco had not received any answers about how to truly enter the Void. When the Alliance transport Celestial was flung into Otherspace and captured by the Desolate, Ber'asco thought that he had found the missing link to the Void. Grand Moff Ravik told him of the multitude of life that existed outside Otherspace, and Ber'asco allowed Ravik to live in return for passage to realspace. When Alliance agents attempted to rescue the crew of the Celestial, Ber'asco's plans were thwarted, but only temporarily. He survived their assault and fled back into the recesses of Otherspace, where he planned an assault on the known galaxy. He had his Charon bioscientists design a hyperdrive for the Desolate, and planned to use coordinates from the captured vessel Celestial to make his jump. However, when Ber'asco linked to the ship's computer to coordinate the jump, the mind of Grand Moff Ravik attacked. Ravik took control of Ber'asco's body, and flung his mind into the computer's recesses. Ber'asco eventually found Bane Nothos' body in cryogenic storage, and took control of it. Ber'asco pursued Ravik to Stronghold, an Alliance safeworld, where he joined with a group of Alliance soldiers to halt the Charon advance and defeat Ravik. In a physical struggle that paralleled their mental battle, Ravik crushed the human form of Ber'asco and killed both Nothos and Ber'asco, but not before sustaining large amounts of damage himself.

Their upper torsos were humanoid, with two arms that end in spade-like hands. They have small, deep-set eyes and an open mouth, with five breather tubes along each side of their faces. They have developed geothermal energy sources, and have developed huge factories around this readily available power source. They have learned to cultivate their aspect of dullness when engaged with other races, for it allows them to scan their immediate surroundings with ultrasonic waves. This causes unknowing adversaries to understimate the Berrite abilities while allowing the Berrite to gain a measure of defense. Berrites were hermaphroditic, and have problems understanding the male/female differences.

Berserker Droid
This was a term developed during the height of the Old Republic to indicate any droid that seemed to ignore its programming and go into a violent fit when it encountered a situation that it deemed threatening. The level of violence differed between types of droids and individual units, but one thing remained constant: something in the hardware or software was not quite right, and the normal threat-avoidance routines did not get activated correctly. Many times, the initial occurance of this aberrent behavior was ignored or dismissed by the droid's owner, who simply had the droid's memory erased in order to eliminate the "glitch." However, the glitches that resulted in berserker behavior were often unaffected by the memory wipe, which added another layer of incoherence to an already-flawed droid. Over time, these droids abandoned their programmed role and took up less lawful endeavors, until their programming simply imploded and they became killing machines.

Beruss, Avan
A member of the Illodian Beruss family, Avan was a crack starpilot who graduated honors from the Illodian Officers' Academy. He was also a decent sharpshooter, and would have represented Illodia in the Imperial Games if they hadn't been canceled with the destruction of the planet Alderaan. Instead of joining the local defense force, Avan joined the Alliance after his childhood friend, Leia Organa, began working with them. Avan had been serving as an aide to his father, Doman, using his skills to pick up the accents of various member worlds. Doman, an Imperial Senator at the time, strongly disagreed with Avan's decision, fearing Imperial reprisal if Avan's actions were discovered. Avan eventually made it to the Alliance, and following the Battle of Endor was given a position with Rogue Squadron. Most of his piloting skills had been learned in the private sector, since he never attended the Imperial Academt. He learned a great deal from Feylis Ardele about Imperial TIE Fighters, augmenting his own piloting skills. When Soontir Fel defected to the New Republic after the Battle of Brentaal, Avan was assigned to be his wingman. Like most members of the Illodian Beruss family, Avan's emotions were basically extinct, until he met Feylis Ardele. He soon found himself falling in love with Feylis, and they worked hard to keep their relationship a secret.

Beruss, Doman
A member of the primary branch of the Beruss family, Doman was a native of the planet Illodia. Named for a great ancestor, Doman was a member of a long line of political figures from his homeworld, following in the footsteps of his father, two uncles, his sixth grandfather, and his ninth great-grandmother as the representative to Coruscant's government. Doman was an Imperial Senator and a friend of Bail Organa, which allowed his son Avan to become friends with Leia Organa. Many years later, after joining the cause of the New Republic, it was Beruss who urged Leia Organa-Solo to step down from her position as Chief of State, during the so-called Black Fleet Crisis.

She was part of the strike force which was sent to Myrkr to locate the voxyn queen, some two years after the invasion began. The daughter ofa fanatic space racer, Eryl was conceived and born on a cross-galaxy run, and grew up in and around starships. Her abilities in the Force manifested themselves as an ability to tell her exact location in the galaxy at any given moment. Her role in the mission was to alert the Jedi team when they approached Myrkr, during their transport in the hold of the Exquisite Death. While in space, she developed a relationship with Raynor Thul, despite the difference in their ages.

Besaama
This female Tarasin was one of many in her irstat that struggled to control their connection to the Force. One day, however, she found herself drawn to a singular tree, deep in the jungles of Cularin. The Tree, as she came to think of it, appeared to have been recently struck by lightning. When Besaama found the Tree, she realized that it had a power of its own, and had been calling her to it. Upon finding the Tree, Besaama managed to open it, much to the consternation of the witch of the Wyrd inside it. When Besaama explained that the Tree had called to her, the witch invited Besaama inside to begin her training. Besaama soon learned to control the Dark Side of the Force, and became a member of the Wyrd. Years later, though, she managed to return to the Light Side of the Force, atoning for the evils she had practiced.

Besadii
This was one of the most powerful Hutt kajidics, and was ruled by Aruk during the early years of the New Order. It was Besadii that created the slave trade on the planet Ylesia, placing Teroenza in command while reaping profit both from spice production and slaves. Besadii then established a loose alliance with the Empire, supplying slaves from the Ylesian operation in return for exemptions from taxes. They tried to cripple the Desilijic clan by employing Drell pirates to attack their spice shipments, but they were discovered by the quick piloting and military knowledge of Han Solo. In the aftermath of the Battle of Nar Shaddaa, Besadii began raising the price of processed spice in an effort to weed out the lesser kajidics. When Jiliac called a convocation of the ruling Hutts, Jabba eloquently used the fact that Besadii had escaped from th Battle of Nar Shaddaa without a single loss to sway a vote against Besadii. As a result, the Hutt Council voted that Besadii be fined 1,000,000 credits - to be evenly distributed among the other kajidics - as well as lower the cost of processed spice.

Besalisk
This was the name of the native language of the Besalisk race, which was made up of a series of grunts, growls, and barks. The written form of Besalisk was created from a simple alphabet, and much of the language was communicated via short words.
(UANT)
Besalisk
Native to the planet Ojom, this alien race was only vaguely humanoid in stature, having a thick body that was supported by two stubby legs. Males of the species had four heavily-muscled arms sprouting from their sides, with the upper pair being used primarily for gripping and manipulation while the lower pair was used as secondary graspers. Each of the male Besalisk's four hands was studded with three thick, dextrous fingers. Although rarely seen, it was known that female Besalisks had more than four arms, sometimes as many as eight, but the necessity for them was unknown. Given this unusual number of arms, many scientists were surprised to learn that each Besalisk had a primary hand that they preferred to use, much like the handedness of many humanoid races. The head of a besalisk was avian in shape, with a heavy wattle hanging from the lower jaw. A mustache of sensory whiskers covered the upper lip. A wide, ridged crest covered the skull of the male Besalisk, with a group of tiny feathers providing cover. The presence of the wattle and the feathers on the skull provided clues to the Besalisk race's avian ancestry, and many xenobiologists believed that they were descended from giant birds. This theory was supported by the reproductive system of the female Besalisk, who laid one or two eggs in a single clutch. The male then took care of the eggs, keeping them warm beneath a flap of abdominal skin until they hatched. Most mated pairs of Besalisk remained together for life, with the female choosing the male. The Besalisk's obese appearance was an evolutionary reaction to the frigid temperatures of Ojom, as fatty cells stored water and food for the winter months. Despite their appearance, many Besalisks had excellent memories, and could remember the tiniest of details for many years.

Besalisk's Bellyful
This was a form of hash that was created by Dexter Jettster, for his restaurant Dex's Diner, which was located in the CoCo District of Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. This style of hash was made with bantha meat, onions from the planet Ojom, and protatoes. Jettster claimed that the idea for this breakfast meal came from his days as a fighter on the planet Ord Mantell, when he needed as many nutrients as possible to keep him going.

This cool, temperate world was located in the Obtrexta System, and was densely overpopulated and heavily industrialized. The surface of the planet was covered with ugly factories and boxy dwellings, and much of the environment had been destroyed in an effort to obtain raw materials. Most of the workers who toil on the planet were lured there with promises of wealth, only to find themselves heavily in debt to the company which hired them. The planet's goverment was run through the corporate offices of Galentro Heavy Works. The average day on Bescane lasted 30 standard hours, and the year lasted 332 local days. Most of the planet was divided into sections known as "hubs," each with a specialized industry or processing operation. It was here, from among the disconsolate workers, that Moff Jesco Comark kidnapped the subjects for his Death-Hunter cyborg project.

(DN2)
BesGas Three
This was one of the many saucer-shaped Tibanna gas processing stations that were owned and operated by BesGas, in the atmosphere of Bespin, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was originally established just prior to the onset of the Clone Wars, BesGas Three was thought to have been commandeered or destroyed when Separatist forces took control of Bespin. However, the facility's droids and automatons chose to take the station deep into the lower levels of Bespin's atmosphere, where it remained hidden for many years. The fact that the galaxy developed a deep-seated distrust of droids in the wake of the Separatist attacks during the Clone Wars meant that the droids on BesGas Three were unable to bring the station back online, for fear of anti-droid sentiment when they suddenly reappeared. The station remained hidden for nearly three decades, until it was discovered by the droid known as Spanner, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. Spanner's stories of the outcome of the Clone Wars led the BesGas Three droids to bring the station back online, only to find that the Empire had garrisoned Cloud City and was taking control of all tibanna gas refineries. The droids were quickly rounded up and given complete memory wipes by Imperial technicians, then sent back to work. The droids continued to toil for their Imperial masters for the next thirty years, until they were discovered by Jaina Solo and Zekk during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy.

Besh
This young man was a Korun, native to the planet Karuun Kal. During the height of the Clone Wars, Besh and his older brother, Lesh, joined the Upland Liberation Front in an effort to free their people from the control of the Balawai. Both brothers vehemently hated the Balawai, an emotion stemming from Besh's capture and torture at the hands of Balawai prospectors, or jups. This particular group of prospectors cut off Besh's fingers, one by one, in an effort to force him to answer questions about the location of lammas groves. Stubbornly refusing to answer, Besh angered his captors so much that they later cut out his tongue, claiming that they wanted to make sure he didn't talk to anyone else, either. Years later, just after Depa Bilabba arrived to unify the ULF, Besh was stung by a fever wasp shortly after Lesh, and began to suffer from the wasp fever. He allowed herself to be injected with thanatizine by Mace Windu, in an effort to arrest the development of the wasp larvae while he and Chalk could be transported to a medical facility. Unfortunately, both Besh and Chalk were brutally murdered by Terrel Nakay, who used a dull knife to cut them until they nearly bled to death. Only the arrival of Kar Vastor saved their lives. Vastor himself executed Terrel, then tried to use his connection to the Force to draw out the fever wasps and heal their injuries. Unfortunately, Besh had been infected by a number of parasitic fungi, and was too weak to recover. He eventually died from his injuries and the fungus which ravaged his body.

When translated into Basic, this Mando'a word referred to Mandalorian Iron. This iron was known throughout the galaxy for its incredibly strength and durability, and was used in the production of prison facilities and binders.

Beskar'gam
When translated into Basic, this Mando'a word literally meant "iron skin," but was most often translated as "armor." The armor of a Mandalorian was considered an integral part of their being - some often remarked that the armor was the Mandalorian's second skin - and was often passed down from generation to generation within a family. The color and markings applied to an individual's armor had many meanings, although they never implied a specific rank. The only exception to this rule was the armor of the Mandalore himself. Otherwise, markings indicated one's clan or family, or were used to indicate their role in a specific mission. Black armor indicated that an individual was seeking justice for a wrong-doing, while a sandy yellow or gold color showed that one was out to seek vengeance against another, and green armor indicated a soldier with a sense of duty. Blue armor indicated an individual's reliability, while gray showed that an individual was in mourning for a lost love. Red armor was displayed by those individuals who wanted to honor their fathers. Blue and green were considered the standard coloration for armor, however, and very few Mandalorians worried about painting their armor in a camouflage pattern to blend into their surroundings. As a common saying among the Mandalorians went, "It is one thing to see me coming, and another to do something about it."

(GORW)
Bespin
This cloud-covered gas giant was the third planet in the Bespin System, which was located along the Ison Corridor in the Anoat Sector, some 49,100 light-years from the galactic core. Because of the mining outpost of Cloud City, Bespin was known for the naturally spin-sealed tibanna gas found in its atmosphere. One of the major variations of the game of sabacc was named for the planet, another for Cloud City. It was located just off the Corellian Trade Route, along the pathway of the Ison Corridor. It was orbited by a pair of natural satellites.
The gas giant had a quick rotation, taking only twelve standard hours to complete one revolution. However, its orbital revolution required 14 standard years to complete. Bespin's diameter measured some 118,000 kilometers at the furthest extent of its cloud cover. Much of the cloud cover over Bespin was well over 1,000 kilometers thick, and surrounded an outer core of seething molten rethin and compressed gas some 52,000 kilometers deep. This outer core exceeded 6,000 degrees, and covered a ball of solid metal 12,000 kilometers across.
Although the inhabitants of the gas giant's many floating cities valued their independence, the planet allied itself with the New Republic in the wake of the Galactic Civil War. This relationship was maintained for decades, until the onset of the Corellia-GA War. After Corellian forces finally earned their independence, Bespin's inhabitants agreed to join the so-called Corellian Confederacy, turning over access to Tibanna gas to the Corellian rebels. Note that Marvel Comics' Star Wars series, issue 57, depicts the surface of Bespin as a swampy marsh filled with liquified gases. This inconsistency was cleared up by the Planet Hoppers series of artices on the Wizards of the Coast website, which explained that the marsh was actually part of the Ugnaught Surface floating city.

The settlement of Bestine was considered the official capital of the planet Tatooine, and was located about 200 kilometers west of Mos Eisley. Historians believed that the name of the settlement originated from the Corellian myth of the bestine gemstone, because the settlement of Bestine was an oasis in the endless expanse of desert.

Bestine
According to Corellian mythology, the bestine was a brilliant blue gemstone that lured treasure hunters into a vast expanse of desolate wastes, where they died of thirsty or starvation while trying to find it. Many historians believed that this myth had something to do with the naming of the Bestine System, as well as the settlement of Bestine on Tatooine.

The planet, sometimes referred to as simply Bestine, had a number of rocky islands which dotted its vast ocean.

Bes'uliik-class Assault Fighter
This MandalMotors starship was developed during the height of the Corellia-GA War. It was a departure from the insectoid lines of the StarViper, and was designed as a massive assault platform. Measuring about fifteen meters in length, and having a wingspan of about eight meters, the ship was upgraded to have a Class 0.4 hyperdrive and a deflective stealth hull, along with all manner of improved weaponry and sensor systems. Emplacements were added for up to four laser cannons and several other weapons systems, all of which were controlled by switches that were driven by movements of the eyes. The ship was coated with a stealth material and scanner-absorbing coating to give it a minimal sensor profile. The avionics were also updated, providing synthetic vision systems, and a panoramic cockpit display.
The name of the ship was derived from the Mandalorian word for the Basilisk War Droid, an ancient Mandalorian attack vessel. The overall shape of the ship was that of a faceted wedge, although the tail section was a flat surface that was studded with grilles and vents to bleed off excessive heat. What made the ship virtually indestructible was the improvised use of new-found lodes of beskar ore, including micronized iron for the outer hull and laminated beskar for armor plating. The combination of weaponry and durability made the Bes'uliik-class assault fighter perhaps the fastest and least vulnerable ship available at the time. The fighter was also capable of vertical landings, allowing it to reach virtually any location.
MandalMotors agreed to produce two versions of the fighter: a fully-loaded version for Mandalorian use, and a "de-enriched" version for sale on the open market. Up to fifty percent of all production was provided to Mandalorian soldiers who agreed to use them for planetary defense. Even in its de-enriched form, however, the Bes'uliik fighter was still capable of outrunning and outgunning an X-Wing.

Beta
This was the codename of an experimental hormone that was developed during the height of the Galactic Civil War.
(SWGAL)
Beta
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 second group discovered by the targetting computer was usually assigned to the Beta group, and the ships within that group were also given a numerical identifier, such as Beta 1. In situations where starfighters from two or more base ships were participating in a battle, the designation Beta was preceded by a character that was unique to the base ship.

Beta-class Assault Shuttle
Designed and manufactured by Telgorn Corp, the Beta-class shuttle was the 30-meter-long precursor to the Gamma-class shuttle. These shuttles were sectional and modular, allowing them to be used in a variety of situations. They require a crew of 5 and up to 10 gunners, and can transport up to 40 zero-G spacetroopers in full armor. The Beta-class was armed with 4 laser cannons, a tractor beam, and a concussion missile launcher. The Beta-class was eventually abandoned as a troop transport - giving way to the Gamma-class shuttle, because of structural flaws generated by its modular design. These flaws tended to show up under the stress of a boarding action,and often required a complete refitting after just two years of service.

Betha II
This low-gravity planet was located within the Betha System, which sits at the midpoint of the Danarc Run in Corva Sector. It was a popular world with the smugglers who ply the Run. It was believed to be the center of operations for the Kaarenth Dissension by New Republin Intelligence. The planet was really nothing more than a yellow-orange ball of rock. Its thin atmosphere contains very little moisture, leaving the surface of the planet barren and dry. Many millennia before the Galactic Civil War, Betha II was much more inviting, as its atmosphere still held water. This made was a thriving port along the Danarc Run. However, the planet's low gravity mean that it couldn't hold its atmosphere for long, and this eventually led to the drying out of the planet's ecosystem. The original colonists abandoned the world, and it was uninhabited until smugglers began using it as a based some 30 years before the Battle of Bilbringi. The average day on Betha II lasted 20 standard hours, and its year encompasses 117 local days. Very little habitation exists aboveground on the planet, since the dry surface was often swept clean by dust and sand storms. The caves and canyons of the planet were expanded and connected with tunnels to support life underground.

Bethal
This planet, located in Tapani Sector of the Colonies region, was the primary planet in the Bethal System.

Betrayal, The
This was the term used by the Renatasians to describe the period in their history when Vuffi Raa was believed to have betrayed their confidence to the invading Imperial fleet. During the early days of the New Order, Vuffi Raa and Ottdefa Osuna Whett spent 700 days in the Renatasian System, ostensibly to investigate their culture in preparation for its admittance into the Empire. Their mission was simply a ruse that allowed Whett, who played a simple assistant to Vuffi Raa, to gather all manner of information on the Renatasians, which he then relayed to his Imperial superiors. Thus, then the Empire brutally subjugated the Renatasian System, the natives believed that it was Vuffi Raa who betrayed them. The droid became known as the Butcher of Renatasia, and a group of former militia met set out to destroy him. The twenty-four men were led by Klyn Shanga, and they spent many years simply searching the galaxy for information before locating the droid aboard the Millennium Falcon. When Klyn Shanga later teamed up woth Rokur Gepta to hunt down Vuffi Raa and Lando Calrissian, Shanga realized that Osuno Whett was the driving force behind the Betrayal, not Vuffi Raa. Thus, when Whett was killed at the ThonBoka, the revenge of the Renatasians was complete, and the Betrayal was avenged.

(OWS)
Beviin, Goran
This man was one of the many members of the new generation of Mandalorians that were trained by Boba Fett, during the height of the New Republic. A native of Mandalore, Beviin was known among the Mando'ade as a man who preferred to arrest people and return them for questioning, and rarely took up the hunt for a bounty that required its target to be killed. Most of the credits he earned as a bounty hunter went back to Mandalore, to cover the expenses of his modest farm, which was maintained by his wife, Medrit.
It was Beviin who first met with Nom Anor, about a year before the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy, when the Executor was looking to enlist the aid of the Mandalorians in the fight against Luke Skywalker's new Jedi order. Posing as Udelen, Nom Anor offered Beviin a bounty to hunt down and kill Tholote B'Leph, a job Beviin completed with the assistance of Briika and Dinua Jeban. Over the next year, Beviin became close friends with the Jebans, and even agreed to adopt Dinua should Briika be killed in the line of duty. When Boba Fett agreed to meet with Udelen near Belkadan to discuss a further arrangement with the Mandalorians, Beviin was as surprised as any to see Udelen arrive in a ship that was essentially a huge asteroid. When Udelen revealed himself to be the Yuuzhan Vong Executor known as Nom Anor, it was Beviin who covered Fett's approach to the strange warship. Beviin was alter forced to formally adopt Dinua, after Briika was killed in the line of duty.
He continued to serve under Boba Fett when he took over as Mandalore, and he was one of the few who dared to openly question Fett's ability to maintain the position. Beviin regularly reminded Fett that a true Mandalore was more than just the Mandalorian armor, a fact that Fett didn't take to heart until he met his own grand-daughter, Mirta Gev. In the meantime, it was Beviin who was approached by Thrackan Sal-Solo, who offered the Mandalorians a lucrative contract to eliminate Han Solo and his family. Beviin politely refused, stating that he only hunted criminals, and he never hunted families. Thus, when Fett later brought the Mandalorians together to discuss working as hired guns for Sal-Solo, Beviin and the others were a bit surprised.
Fett eventually helped to assassinate Sal-Solo, and returned to Mandalore to resume his position of leadership. Beviin remained a loyal supporter of Fett's leadership, and was rewarded for his loyalty with Fett's own endorsement of his abilities. When Fett and Mirta Gev set out to track down the clone they believed was tracking them, Beviin was named the acting Mandalore in Fett's absence. However, he only did what needed of him, before returning to the Beviin-Vasur Farm to work the soil and care for his family. Fett later confided that Beviin was his chosen successor, should death finally catch up with him.
When Jaina Solo arrived on Mandalore to ask Boba Fett to train her in the ways of Mandalorian combat, Beviin agreed to take over part of her training, to give Fett more time to spend with Mirta Gev and Sintas Vel.

Bex, Rasha
This woman appeared to be a renegade who hid out on the planet Stoga during the height of the Galactic Civil War. She had decided to join the local cell of Alliance agents, but found their tactics too extremist. She tried to abandon their ranks, but they caught wind of her defection and set out after her. Her escape route crossed the path of the smuggler BoShek, who reluctantly agreed to help her shake her pursuers and reach her transport.
It later became apparent that she had made contact with the rebel group led by Garm Bel Iblis, formed after he split from the Alliance. She found herself falling for BoShek, especially after he managed to get her away from Karn and the other goons sent to recover her. It was only after BoShek got her to her assigned rendezvous point that she revealed her true identity. Much to BoShek's dismay, Rasha was actually a Captain in the Imperial Army, and was on Stoga to locate and eliminate Bel Iblis's forces. She had been on the run from Karn because she carried detailed information on the location of six rebel cells on the planet. Despite her loyalties, she still felt something for BoShek, even after he was taken away for interrogation.
She remained with the Empire, but began searching for information on BoShek's whereabouts. She eventually learned that the crimelord Raze had this information, but she was forced to pay an exhorbitant price for it. In order to pay off the debt, Rasha agreed to serve as Raze's contact person on Ahakista, where she had access to the operations that were taking place inside Pyramid One. She agreed to work with Sardoth and the local rebels, providing them with information on the defenses of The Hub. She also agreed to shut down the security systems protecting the facility, when Dunlan refused to help, but was apprehended by Tregor when she returned to the Pyramid One building.
In a brief struggle, Tregor managed to beat Bex to the ground, and would have strangled her if Dunlan hadn't changed his mind. He launched a massive rocket into the facility, destroying the energy field generator. In the explosion, both Tregor and Bex were incinerated.

Bey
This tall, white-haired man joined the Alliance on the Forest Moon of Endor when he accompanied Fenn Shysa on a mission to pledge Mandalore's support to the Alliance of Free Planets. Bey was half-Corellian on his father's side, although he never knew his mother. Her true identity was later discovered to have been Krai H'voc, who had been dispatched to Corellia to spy on the Empire. However, she left the family shortly after his birth. His father took out his frustration and anger on Bey, using words and beatings to reconcile his own emotions. Eventually, Bey grew to manhood, spending part of his adolescent years as a friend to a young orphan named Han Solo. It was Bey who first taught Han to fight on the streets. Bey's heroic exploits on behalf of his native people became the stuff of legends during the height of the New Order. He lost his left eye in a struggle to free other Corellians, and he wore a patch over the eye as a reminder of the cruelty of other people. His Corellian ancestry endeared him to Han Solo, who was jealous of Leia Organa's attention to Shysa. Bey agreed to travel to Godo with Han, as part of a mission to assist the Godoans in defeating a mysterious plague that was killing their planet. However, it was on the Forest Moon of Endor that Bey revealed he was also half Nagai, and that he had the Nagai forces to Endor in an effort to destroy the Alliance. His mother had been an advance scout for the Nagai many years earlier, and had seen that the galaxy would be ripe for conquest. He also revealed that his brother was the individual known as Knife. Bey then fled the Alliance to rejoin the Nagai, but he retained some loyalty to Han and Corellia. For this reason, Bey infiltrated the ranks of the Tofs led by Prince Sereno, hoping to provide support in case of an attack. He also used his position to relay information about the Tofs to the Alliance of Free Planets. His chance act came when Sereno captured Leia Organa and Knife on Saijo. Just as Lumiya was going to kill them both, Bey shot Lumiya. He then removed his disguise and revealed that he had been with the Tofs all along.

This hulking Weequay was the Commander of the Scarlet Star, supporting the Galactic Alliance's naval forces during the years following the Sith-Imperial War. Commander Bey was also the leader of the Rogue Squadron of CF9 Crossfire pilots, but often found himself breaking up fights among the pilots. He understood that much of their rough-and-tumble activities were simply ways to let off steam, but he ensured that none of his pilots ever did any actual harm to one another. During the assault on the Mon Calamari shipyards that were designed to capture the Star Destroyer Imperious, Commander Bey flew his Crossfire back to the Indomitable on orders from Captain Jaius Yorub. Once aboard the flagship, Bey knocked Admiral Gar Stazi unconscious with a vicious left hook, then took the Admiral aboard his starfighter and escaped, while Yorub held of the Imperials and ensured the Alliance's escape. When Admiral Stazi later confronted Bey with charges of striking a superior officer, Bey was surprised to learn that the Admiral's "punishment" was to promote Bey to fill Yorub's position as second in command. Note that Star Wars: Legacy - Indomitable alternately describes Bey's rank as Commander and Lieutenant.

Much to Caedus' pleasure, Moff Bhao was killed in the Mandalorian attack on the Nickel One asteroid, where a group of Moffs had convened to finalize their take-over of the Verpine factories there. It was believed that Caedus had foreseen the attack, and had grouped the Moffs in the Strategic Planning Forum so that they would be easier for the Mandalorians to kill.

This heavily-guarded and modified corvette was owned by Arakyd Industries, and served as a mobile laboratory during the height of the New Order. The ship was built to allow the noted scientist, Min Erethen, to conduct her research without fear of being attacked or captured by rival corporations. Unfortunately for Arakyd and for Min, the Bhishana Bhaga experienced a short in its hyperdrive circuitry, causing the ship to unexpectedly drop back into realspace.

She and 1,000 other Oswaft attempted to negotiate with the Imperials, and were slaughtered by the ships nearest the mouth of the nebula. They were able, however, to destroy the Courteous when they "shouted" microwave energy at the unshielded cruiser as they died.

Kasdakh Bhul was assigned to Czulkang Lah specifically during the effort to capture Jaina Solo, and assisted the former Warmaster during the siege on Borleias. In many respects, Kasdakh Bhul was wuicker to catch onto the New Republic's tactics that the former Warmaster, but neither of them anticipated the use of the Lusankya as a huge ramming device. As Borleias was abandoned by the Republic, the Lusankya plowed into their worldship and exploded. Nearly all aboard the worldship, including Kasdakh Bhul, were able to evacuate before the two ships died.

He soon switched camps, growing more and more loyal to Amidala and her plans. He was a courageous man who believed in Amidala's abilities, and supported her election. When the Trade Federation blockaded their world and Amidala traveled to Coruscant to plead their case to the Senate, Bibble remained behind to hold off the Neimoidians. He willfully resisted their attempts to force him to ratify a treaty that would legitimize the invasion, and maintained the planet's sovereignity until Amidala could return. Once rejoined, Bibble worked with Amidala and the Jedi Knights to capture Nute Gunray and force the Federation to withdraw.

Bic
When translated into Basic, this Mando'a was a generic form of the pronoun "it."
(OWS)
Bic cuyi jate
This was the formally correct form of the Mando'a phrase for "it is good." However, this form was rarely used by Mandalorians in normal conversation, as the verb cuyir was usually dropped, and word order was used to indicate the correct form of the verb "to be." Thus, even the pronoun bic was often dropped, and the simple utterance of jate came to mean "it is good."
(OWS)
Bic jate
This Mandalorian phrase translated directly into Basic as "it good," but was generally used to say "it is good." This was because the verb cuyir was usually dropped in spoken Mando'a.

His mission was to report on Imperial patrols and troop movements in the Deep Core. Unfortunately, his cover was blown and he was forced to hide out in the Asonel Caves until a rescue mission could locate him. A native of Coruscant, Biel grew up wanting to become an actor, and his training gave him the ability to blend in with a crowd and avoid notice. Enamored of the stage but without a credit to his name, Biel stowed away aboard a smuggling ship to see the galaxy. His time with the smugglers gave him many reasons to hate the Empire, and helped push him toward joining the Alliance.
(PH)
Bien, Zenn
This Sullustan female was living on New Balosar, some forty-three years after the Battle of Yavin, when she was approached by Tobb Jadak and Flitcher Poste. Jadak had been searching for the location of the ship he had once known as the Stellar Envoy, and had been given Bien's name by Rej Taunt. Zenn Bien, whose name meant "tranquil breeze" in the Sullustan language, owned and operated the salon known as The Kindest Kut, and she was quite active despite having been alive for three-quarters of a century or so. She was distinguished by the tattoos that covered her forehead, as well as the luxurious hair that fell from the back of her skull. Bien had been warned by Rej Taunt that Jadak would be visiting her, and spent several hours retelling her history with the ship.
She explained that she was originally a ship thief, using her skills at recalling maps and specifications after a simple glance and her natural ability to see in the dark to steal ships that could be later sold or chopped up for parts. She preferred the life of a ship thief, since she abhorred the violence of shipjacking. She left her homeworld when the SoroSuub Corporation supported the Separatists during the Clone Wars, then later supported the Galactic Empire. After leaving Sullust, Zenn Bien made her way to Tuerto, where she became friends with Quip Fargil. Fargil hired her to steal three ships, the last of which was a YT-1300 that became known as the Gone to Pieces. While transporting the Gone to Pieces to a chop shop in the Tungra Sector, they were dragged out of hyperspace by an Imperial Interdictor cruiser. It was then that Fargil revealed he was working for the growing rebellion against the Empire, and that they were trying to steal the Interdictor's technology. She was asked to used her skills to help them map out a schematic of the Interdictor's interior, and Zenn Bien hesitated only a moment before agreeing to help. As the Interdictor tried to leave the area, the missing technology caused it to explode, and Zenn Bien used her skills as a pilot to get the Gone to Pieces out of the area as fast as possible.
After Fargil told her the complete truth about his involvement with the Verpine resistance and the rebellion, and after SoroSuub management virtually enslaved her people to the Empire, Zenn Bien joined the Alliance as a scavenger and demolitions expert. Her career included several missions with Sian Tevv and Nien Nunb, both of whom she considered to be heroes of the Sullustan people. However, the years of causing damage to the Imperials left Zenn Bien with a desire to bring some beauty to the galaxy, and she trained with the Barbers of Sullust during the years that followed the Battle of Endor. She took several husbands and started her own warren before establishing The Kindest Kut. She then told Jadak and Poste that Quip Fargil had kept the Gone to Pieces, but that the ship had been destroyed at the First Battle of Bilbringi. She then gave them one last piece of data, that Fargil had changed his name to Vec Minim, and was now living on Vaced.

Big Bunji
A minor criminal, Big Bunji was a lavender-hued humanoid with a wide body and a huge head. His eyes were like saucers, and his hair resembled a slate-colored bird's nest. His large ears were pink in coloration, and looked like wings. once hired Han Solo and Chewbacca to run chak-root to Gaurick, agreeing to pay for all their expenses during the contract. Han and Chewie made a number of runs to Gaurick, each one more difficult because the local religious leaders deemed chak-root an illegal substance. One run turned disastrous for them, as the planet's fleet severely damaged the Millennium Falcon as it tried to escape. Han was also forced to dump the load of chak-root he was carrying to get away. Based on the promise Big Bunji made, Han and Chewie had repairs done on the Falcon, and added them to Big Bunji's account. However, they son received a bill from Big Bunji for the chak-root and the repairs to the Falcon. Han's temper flared up, and he strafed Big Bunji's pressure dome with laser bolts, eliminating its atmosphere and causing innumerable amounts of damage. Big Bunji later had his assistant, Squeak, approach Han about a job at the Mos Eisley spaceport, claiming no hard feelings remained between them. However, Han had already taken on Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Big Bunji laid low during the Galactic Civil War, eventually setting up shop near Ord Mantell. After the initial phases of construction were completed on the Jubilee Wheel space station, Big Bunji moved his operation there. He went by the pseudonym of "Boss B" to maintain relative anonymity. Big Bunji and most of his organization managed to escape the Yuuzhan Vong attack on the station, making their way planetside to regroup.

Big Crush, The
This event occurred on the planet Taspan II, several months after the Battle of Yavin. The Empire had built a weapons facility on the planet, and was testing its new gravity-well projection technology when something went horribly wrong. Caught in a massive gravity slice, Taspan II was torn apart, and its rubble was strewn throughout the outer regions of the Taspan System. Many pieces of debris were thrown toward the center of the system, and more than a few became artificial satellites of Taspan I, which was also known as Mindor. When Lord Shadowspawn and his Imperial forces activated their various gravity weapons, during the Battle of Mindor, the artificial gravity fields caused all manner of changes in the paths of the asteroids and planetary debris created by the Big Crush. The effects of these gravity devices, coupled with the gravity-well projectors used by the warships of the New Republic, knocked large pieces of debris in all directions. Many of these pieces impacted the star Taspan, setting off huge coronal discharges of intense radiation that scoured the Taspan System. Other pieces were captured by Mindor's gravity and plunged to the planet's surface, adding even more material to Mindor's dangerous atmosphere.

Big Gizz
Known as the Gizman, this hulking humanoid stands over 2.5 meters in height, and was the captain of Jabba the Hutt's swoop gang on Tatooine. He led his swoop gang, with Jix in tow, to take out Luke Skywalker in a dangerous swoop race through Beggar's Canyon. Big Gizz had long, shaggy hair and a well-muscled physique. He had large, pointed ears and a toothy maw. He was injured in the swoop chase when Dash Rendar arrived to help Luke, and tried to get out of Beggar's Canyon with Jix. However, Gizz knew too much about Jix's past, and so Jix killed him before they could return to Jabba's palace. Big Gizz's body was found by the B'omarr monks that lived in Jabba's palace, and was reanimated. The fatal wound that killed Gizz was repaired, and a thick metal plate was installed to cover the hole in his skull. It continually picked up stray communications signals. After being reunited with Spiker, they set off to locate Jabba's hidden trove of weapons on board the escape ship Spirit of Jabba. They hoped to become pirates on their own. Big Gizz's plate picked up comm signals from Gorga the Hutt, who had come to Tatooine to hear Jabba's will and had been left out of the major inheritance. Gorga hoped to recover some of Jabba's Mendacian funeral urns, but stumbled upon the ship first. They managed to steal the ship before Gorga could obtain it, but failed to override the ship's security system. The interactive tape took control, venting atmosphere and locking out user control. Just when they thought they were doomed, the Nemphas tried to intercept them. They were forced to crash-land the ship outside of Mos Eisley in order to escape Gorga the Hutt's minions. Spiker and Gizz survived, and made their way back to civilization. Note that the Rebellion Era Sourcebook claims Big Gizz was a human.

This competition was held at the Gungan Festival of Warriors. It pitted a great number of Gungan soldiers - often more than 400 - against each other in a race against the elements. There was a basic set of rules, but, in general, anything was fair. The initial stage of the event involved the competitors trying to capture bouncing gulliballs, and was known as the gulli-brawl. The number of gulliballs available was exactly half the total number of competitors, and so half were eliminated in the first round. The second phase involved placing the gulliballs in elevated chutes, and was known as the gulli-throw. Those Gungans who successfully deposited their balls moved onto the third phase, which involved a race through the ocean to the swamplands surrounding Lake Umberbool. Once on land, the racers had to reach a checkpoint and then dive back into the water from a high cliff. Once in the water, they had to return to the arena. The first Gungan to cross the finish line was declared the winner.

Big One, The
This was the codename used by the Dark Jedi of the Cularin System to describe the comet that they planned to impact on Almas, during the final years of the Old Republic. The plan to smash The Big One into the Sith fortress on Almas was actually a ruse, as the Dark Jedi were really planning to frame Jedi Master Lanius Qel-Bertuk and the Almas Academy for the plot. Coded information discovered by a group of freelance agents revealed that The Big One was to have been "a surprise gift from the Jedi to the Cularin System, and to Almas specifically." In order to ensure that the comet hit Almas with deadly force, the Dark Jedi had thruster engines emplaced in its mass, which could be directed to further divert its course. To ensure that the comet was not discovered before it was nearly too late, the Dark Jedi corrupted the cometary data that was collected by the Comet Broom Service, erasing its trajectory from the data that was uploaded to Cularin SpaceNav Control. The slicing that was done to achieve this also removed a smaller comet from the data, which resulted in the impact that nearly destroyed the Fricasseed Nerf. To prevent unwanted landings or attempts to divert the comet, the Dark Jedi installed automated laser cannons on the surface. All of these "defenses" were discovered to be little more than window dressing, however, when the comet was finally diverted by a group of freelance agents. They discovered the plot to discredit the Jedi Knights of the Almas Academy.

This was one of the largest ventilation shafts that were located near Monument Plaza, on the planet Coruscant, during the years following the Swarm War. Big Snarl's primary function was to pull hot, humid air from the lower sections of the cityscape, but it also served as a traffic interchange for the many skylanes that intersected its location. The fact that so many vehicles traveled through the shaft, and had to deal with the sudden drafts of air, earned it the nickname Big Snarl. The very center of the Big Snarl was where the air currents were the strongest, and the local traffic enforcement agency prohibited travel through the center to avoid accidents.

Biko was known to be quite edgy and tense, and often believed that he had to be above the law to be heroic.
He was fourteen when the Clone Wars broke out, and was a member of the small gang that was led by Naja Delan at the time. Delan's conspiracy theories appealed to Biko's skewed sense of righteousness, and he hoped to one day put his skills as a hunter to use in actually tracking down the criminals Delan saw around every corner. Delan's belief in the Jedi Knights was mirrored by Biko, who regarded them as some of the best hunters in the galaxy.
The group found itself in trouble, just after the onset of the Clone Wars, when Delan stumbled upon the plot to assassinate Gavid Lermyn.

A short, pudgy alien race with long arms, short legs, and no hair, the Bilars look like bald teddy bears with frozen smiles. The ears of a Bilar were quite large, and were capable of hearing in infrasonic and ultrasonic wavelengths. The ears can be swivels in different directions, allowing the Bilars to use them with great efficiency. Their eyes were large and black, and can gather light in the darkest of nights. However, they were not a dominating race, and have survived more vicious forms of life on their homeworld of Mima II by staying in large groups for safety. This behavior soon became part of their genetic makeup, and they have evolved the need for a group mind in order to function. On their own, single Bilars were dumb animals. Together, they form claqas (group minds) in which the overall intelligence of the claqa doubles with each additional Bilar mind. The average number of Bilars in a sentient claqa was four, while a genius claqa had at least seven Bilars. There was a single instance of a 10-Bilar claqa which became the entity known as Unni Yerudi.

Billaba, Deppa
This slender Chalactan Jedi Master was a member of the Jedi Council, and was part of the group that deliberated over the possible training of young Anakin Skywalker. She was rescued from a band of space pirates when she was just six months old. Her rescuer turned out to be Mace Windu, who recognized her strength with the Force and brought her back to Coruscant. There, she grew up among the other Jedi trainees, becoming Windu's Padawan and eventually became a Jedi Knight. She chose to honor her parents by living by the native culture of Chalacta, and embraced many of its religious tenets. She wore the Mark of Illumination, given to her upon her achivement of the rank of Jedi Knight. Depa, who was one of the youngest beings ever elected to serve on the Jedi Council, was known in the Council for her insights. Shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, Master Billaba was dispatched to Haruun Kal, in an effort to earn the trust of the native Korunnai in supporting the Old Republic. She disappeared just a few months into her mission, until a recording was found hidden in the mouth of a murdered Balawai woman. The woman had been brutally injured before and after her death, giving rise to the belief that Master Billaba had turned to the Dark Side of the Force. Her old Master, Mace Windu, was sent to locate her, and discovered that she had allied herself with Kar Vastor. During her time on Haruun Kal, Master Billaba had lost a good deal of weight, and her appearance had become haggard. She had even removed the Greater Mark of Illumination from her forehead, and had covered the scar with a rag. Master Billaba had been the mastermind behind the Upland Liberation Front, hoping to keep a ragtag group of surviving Korunnai from being exterminated by the Balawai who were allied with the Separatists. An early victory in forcing the Separatists off Haruun Kal was later proven false, as the Separatists had simply backed off into the Gevarno Cluster to later ambush any Republic reinforcements. Master Billaba decided that her place was on Haruun Kal, helping the Korunnai defend their freedom and their right to live on their homeworld. She turned over her lightsaber to Master Windu, and set out to defeat the Balawai with Vastor's help. When Windu refused to let her free of her commitment to the Jedi, she struggled internally between that commitment and her intense desire to free the Korunnai. During Master Windu's suicidal plans to take Pelek Baw from the Balawai, Depa was caught by the blast of a proton grenade and thrown to the ground. She faked her death, trying to decide where her loyalties lay. When Windu tried to revive her, she grabbed her lightsaber and ignited it, spearing her teacher through the stomach. Windu survived, and managed to defeat the forces protecting Pelek Baw. His efforts brought the Summertime War to an end, but Master Billaba was emotionally and mentally lost by this time. She was returned to Coruscant and the Jedi Temple, but was held for trial until she could recover. Her crimes were listed as crimes against civilization, a category of crimes which had not been prosecuted since the Great Sith War. Until she was able to stand trial, however, Depa remained at the Jedi Temple, where she was cared for by many Jedi healers, including T'ra Saa.

This woman, a native of the planet Ord Thoden, lost her daughter Ludi when the infant was whisked away to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, after being recognized for her connection to The Force. The child had been rescued by a Jedi Knight from the ruins of the city of Domitree, but Jonava objected to the action. She spent every last credit she had to travel to Coruscant and protest Ludi's taking. Her pleas initially fell upon deaf ears, as the Jedi claimed that Ludi had been "awakened to The Force" and could not return to her secular life. Jonava's pleas garnered the attention of her homeworld's Senator, Boganni Hrul, as well as a popular following on Coruscant formed by the People's Inquest. Despite her high ideals, when a group of holofeature producers approached Jonava and Thrynka about a movie based on their efforts, both quickly traveled to Kassido to help with casting.

A smuggling overlord and contemporary of Talon Kaarde, Billey ran much of the black market bacta on Coruscant shortly after the planet was liberated from Ysanne Isard. It was believed that he was a native of Corellia, although Billey himself never revealed his origins. He was something of a legend among smugglers, surviving in the profession for more than sixty years. He believed that he was his own good-luck charm, since he seemed to be able to escape from any possible situation. His luck lasted a few years, until he was injured in a botched spice run during the height of the New Order. He was imprisoned at the Goshyn Detention Center, where he refused cybernetic replacements for his most-damaged parts. Billey spent much of his life in a repulsorchair in order to get around, and was forced to trust in his lieutenants - Brask, Par'tah, Ellor, and Dravis - to do most of his negotiations and business travels.

Billibango's advice helped the Republic forces evacuate their hiding places just before Stark's forces arrived, giving them a chance to fight back. During the battle, Billibango threw himself in front of a blast which was meant for Dallin, saving Dallin's life. Dallin never forgot Billibango's bravery, which continued to be proven as the struggle escalated. It was Billibango, and his knowledge of the Lycinder Plain, who got the Republic forces to safety.

Bimm
This was the name given to either of two distinct races of humanoids which were native to the planet Bimmisaari. Xenoarchaeologists believe that the original Bimms were bipedal, half-furred humanoids who loved to tell stories and were enamored of heroic feats. They were generally a peaceful people who welcomed visitors with laughing voices and open arms, and they all seemed to dress in yellow. They were also excellent hagglers, and spend much of their days shopping and bargaining with each other.
Millennia before the fall of the Old Republic, a second race of near-humans came to Bimmisaari from a nearby star system, and adopted the original Bimm civilization as their own. The original Bimms, being hospitable and open-minded, accepted the newcomers into their society without question. However, the two races were sexually incompatible, and could not interbreed. Both races of Bimm seemed to prefer the color yellow, and the original Bimms almost always wore yellow clothing.
Bimms who were part of the same litter were all of the same sex, so a female could give birth to groups of eighteen or more sons (or daughters) at one time.

This world was the fifth planet from the sun which centered the MZX33291 system. Originally discovered by Imperial scouts, Bimmiel was thought to be a temperate world of grassy plains and cool deserts. However, it was later learned that the Imperials had first landed on the planet during its closest inbound pass to the sun. An xenoarcheology expedition funded by the University of Agamar learned that Bimmiel had an elongated, elliptical orbit which brought the planet well away from its sun at its furthest path, plunging the planet into a deep winter. They named the planet after the leader of the Imperial survey team which first found it. The xenoarch team had been studying the relationships between the slashrats and the shwpi when they discovered the fifty-year-old remains of Mongei Shai, a Yuuzhan Vong warrior killed on the planet five decades earlier, indicating that the Vong had been able to break through the hyperspace distrubance at the edge of the galaxy long before they actually attacked Belkadan and Helska. The students also discovered that the planet's magnetic field shifted on a regular basis, making any static map of the world obsolete in twenty to fifty years. When Shedao Shai learned of the desecration of Mongei Shai's remains, he ordered Bimmiel wiped clean of any forms of life.

Bimmisaari
This planet, the capital world of Halla Sector, was the homeworld of the Bimm race. It was a temperate, forested world whose day lasted 26 standard hours, while its year lasted 302 local days. Bimmisaari was one of the first ten planets to join the Refugee Resettlement Coalition, shortly before the Clone Wars. In the wake of the death of Emperor Palpatine at Endor, Bimmisaari was courted by the New Republic, but chose to remain as neutral as possible.
During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Bimmisaari was overrun during the second wave of attacks. Although the Galactic Alliance promised to provide aid, this aid was delayed several times, and the Bimms soon grew impatient. When Jacen Solo and Cha Niathal removed Cal Omas, the Bimms began to consider a move to secede from the Alliance. Their resolve turned to action when Solo attacked Kashyyyk for harboring members of the Jedi Council. Within days of the attack on Kashyyyk, Bimimisaari had joined The Confederation, prompting several other Halla Sector planets to secede as well.

This boy was the son of Lord Pilester Binalie, and was eleven years old when the Clone Wars broke out. Corf admired the work of Jedi Knight Jafer Torles, who was on Cartao to monitor the planet's status during the Clone Wars. He believed that Torles was the "ultimate Jedi", a strong, wise individual who was never, ever wrong. His perceptions were first verified, then shattered when Separatist forces tried to acquire the fluid technology of Spaarti Creations. The battle of keep Cartao free from Separatist control turned bad from the start, with battle droids quickly occupying Spaarti Creations and the surrounding Foulahn City. Corf believed that Torles' actions were helping, until a Republic gunship purposely crashed into the main facility of Spaarti Creations. The facility, along with many of the Cranscoc twillers who operated it, were destroyed in the blast. When it was discovered that the gunship had been under the control of the Jedi Knights - a piece of misinformation leaked by Darth Sidious himself - Corf lost all faith in the Jedi Knights. Like his father, Corf dismissed Master Torles without so much as a goodbye, and he hated the Jedi Knights from that point forward.

However, he boldly worked to ensure the safety of his people and his planet when the Clone Wars arrived on Cartao. He worked with the local Jedi Master, Jafer Torles, to assist Kinman Doriana in driving out the Separatist forces, only to see a Republic gunship crash into Spaarti Creations, utterly destroying the facility and many of the Cranscoc twillers who operated it.

A tunnel running beneath the grasslands connected the two areas, allowing Binalie to enter the manufacturing facilities as needed. The dirt of this tunnel appeared to have been dug out with crude implements and covered with permacrete, but the walls were actually immense murals created by the Cranscoc.

The average day on Binaros lasted 32 standard hours, and the planet's year encompasses 110 local days. Binaros was the site of a small cult which worshipped a hermit-like deity. The small colony established by the cultists was eradicated by disease, but their single temple remained intact. Imperial forces took control of the temple, using it as a research base dedicated to producing biochemical weapons. When Moff Sarne was forced to flee Kal'Shebbol, the base was abandonded.

Binayre Pirates
This band of pirates operated within the Corellian Sector of the galaxy, during the height of the New Order. Their primary base was on Talus, and another was located on Tralus. Many considered the Binayre Pirates to be a group of two-bit criminals, but the leadership of the pirates became bolder during the months following the Battle of Yavin, and the Binayre Pirates began to expand their influence.

Bindalin, Jilst
This man was a native of Alsakan several millennia before the Battle of Yavin. He trained briefly as a Jedi Knight before turning to the Dark Side of the Force. It was believed that he followed the legends of a Killik member of the Sith dying on the planet Sarafur with a huge treasure buried in his tomb, and Bindalin made the trek to Sarafur to pay homage to the Killik. It was also believed that his tribute to the Killik was in the form of the Alsakan Tessent, which he had stolen and brought with him to Sarafur. The story held that only the Shistavenan pilot who transported Bindalin to Sarafur knew of the Tessent's existence.

Binder
This Interdictor-class cruiser was part of the fleet commanded by Prince-Admiral Krennel. He used it to trap Admiral Ackbar's fleet near Ciutric, during the New Repiblic's attempt to liberate the planet. However, as soon as Captain Phulik fired up the gravity well projectors, Ackbar implemented the Thrawn Pincer. The gravity shadows created by the Binder helped drag the Selonian Fire and the Corsuca Fire out of hyperspace behind Krennel's fleet, and the two Republic ships quickly dispatched the Reckoning. Before they could be destroyed, the crew of the Binder surrendered to the New Republic fleet.

Binder Chair
This modified chair was used by police and military forces as a way to confine an individual to a specific location. Speciallized binders were mounted to the arms and legs of the chair, into which the arms and legs of the individual were placed. In this way, a being could be interrogated without the threat of them moving against their captors.

Binders
This was a basic set of restraining devices that were connected without a link, restricting the movement of a captive's hands or legs. They could also be used to bind the feet, or one arm and one leg to further immobilize a prisoner. For especially dangerous criminals, larger binders were available that could wrap around the chest and waist, providing another way to immobilize the arms. There were also neck binders that could be used to link up with wrist or leg binders, creating a kind of full-body restraint that all but eliminated a captive's ability to move.

Bindo, Jolee
This former Jedi Kinght was a veteran of the Great Sith War, having fought against the forces of Exar Kun more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. However, the battles he fought changed him forever, and he left the Jedi Order after the war and fled to Kashyyyk, where he became a recluse for many years. When Bastila Shan arrived at Kashyyyk during her search for the Star Forge, she saw through Bindo's frail appearance and recognized the Jedi training that he had completed. She managed to convince Jolee to accompany her band in search of Darth Malak and the Star Forge, during which Jolee was forced to confront his past on Manaan, where he met up with Sunry. Throughout the search for the Star Forge, Jolee tried to maintain his stance of only looking for peace, despite the steely glint in his eyes. Jolee Bindo was voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson for the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

This megonite harvester was working with Sparu to steal megonite from Lady Tarkin and sell it on the black market. They had arranged to meet Han Solo on Phelarion, and transfer the megonite to the Millennium Falcon. When Leia Organa was stranded on Phelarion and became one of Lady Tarkin's servants, she agreed to help them send a message to Han, although she was unaware that it was Han himself. However, in order to escape from Imperial forces gathered on Phelarion, Calus and Sparu were forced to destroy the megonite. They reached the Falcon just ahead of the Imperials and fled off-planet.

Bin-Garda-Zon
This Cerean was a rogue and a pirate, easily distinguished by his lack of two fingers on his left hand. Instead of raiding the spacelanes of his home system, though, Bin kept to his homeworld and raided the villages of his compatriots. Among the treasures Bin hoped to steal were male Cerean children and well over 100 wives, in the hope that his band would continue to grow in influence and power. Bin and his band of female pirates held the small villages of Cerea under his control for more than two decades, until Ki-Adi-Mundi returned to his homeworld after completing his early training as a Jedi Knight. Ki had been charged with eliminating the threat of Bin-Garda-Zon, but returned home to find him a vindictive old man who had been bested in the khana by one of the younger woman of his band. When the younger generation of pirates decided to submit to Ki's laws after their leader was bested by Ki himself, Bin furiously refused to let go of his control. He swore at the young Jedi, but was unable to sway his former band and was disgraced.

Binks, Jar Jar
This young Otolla Gungan outcast was a companion of Qui-Gon Jinn. Like most Otolla Gungans, Jar Jar was thin-bodied and muscular, and had large frills at the back of his head. He was outcast from Otoh Gunga for continually making mistakes that placed other members of the Gungan society at risk, including crashing Boss Nass' heyblibber, flooding Boss Nass's mansion while acting as a caterer, and opening the bubbles of the creatures in Otoh Gunga's zoo. Jar Jar was eating clams and wandering the swamps of Naboo when the Trade Federation began landing its invasion force. He was rescued by Qui-Gon Jinn, who rescued Jar Jar from further punitive action by claiming a life-debt on him. Boss Nass was reluctant to give up the chance to punish the younger creature, but was forced to accede to the life debt.
Jar Jar then traveled with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Kenobi, helping to protect Queen Amidala during her struggle with the Federation. Jar Jar's friendship with Amidala led to a greater relationship when she appealed to Boss Nass for assistance in the Battle of Naboo. Boss Nass credited Jar Jar with bringing the Gungans and humans together in peace, and was promoted to the rank of General for his efforts. Later, in the years leading up to the Clone Wars, Jar Jar served as a special representative of the Gungan people to the New Republic Senate, supporting Padme' Amidala in the represenation of Naboo, and serving on the Loyalist Committee. When Padme' was returned to Naboo in the wake of an assassination attempt on her life, she asked Jar Jar to represent her in the Senate. It was this fateful move that placed Jar Jar in the Senate rotunda, shortly before the Battle of Geonosis.
It was Jar Jar, whose concern for the Republic was quite genuine, who petitioned the Senate to grant Chancellor Palpatine the emergency powers necessary to combat Count Dooku and the Separatists. This allowed Palpatine to bypass the vote on the Military Creation Act altogether, clearing the way for him to employ the vast clone army created by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas.

Binks Enterprises
This was the name given to a fictional corporation that was supposedly based on the planet Naboo. Formed by Gungans and ostensible led by Jar Jar Binks, popular legend held that Binks Enterprises produced a wide range of role-playing games for the youth of the galaxy, during the final years of the Old Republic. It was later revealed that the corporation did not exist, although its name was used whenever a battle broke out between one heavily-organized force and another, less capable force. The name stemmed from Jar Jar Binks' contributions to the success of the Gungans during the Battle of Naboo, many of which were simply luck breaks that followed Binks' ineptitude on the battlefield.

Binring became involved in the genetic manipulation of several non-human species in an effort to adapt them to different environments and occupations. It was based on the planet Saffalore, in the city of Lurark. When Zsinj discovered that there had been at least test subject who escaped from the facility, he ordered it closed down and all laboratory work transferred to the Iron Fist. The New Republic sent in Wraith Squadron, which successfully infiltrated the headquarters of Binring, but found that Zsinj had already moved much of the facility. However, they were able to capture Doctor Edda Gast in the attempt.

This unusual capture device was produced by Dendratis Biological Exports, Incorporated, during the height of the New Order. Resembling a 1.5-meter-square piece of cloth, the bio-cocoon was actually impregnated with a laye rof dormant microorganisms. When set as a trap for large game, the bio-cocoon was activated by the pressure of a creature stepping on it. Once activated, the microorganisms swarmed over the creature, securing it within a porous cocoon of organisms which allowed it to breathe.
(GFT)
BioCruiser
This huge ship, built by a team of beings gathered from worlds which had been ecoclogically damaged, roamed the galaxy during the last decades of the Old Republic. Originally conceived of by Kad Chun and the natives of Telos, the BioCruiser and its creators vowed to never land on another world, nor allow another ship to dock with the craft. The BioCruiser was built from various pieces and parts salvaged from other ships, and was laden with a wide variety of plants and minerals that allowed those beings who lived on it to be almost self-sufficient. Fuel and other important materials were obtained at regular stops at prearranged worlds. The ship and its leaders were investigated by the Jedi Knights, two years after the Battle of Naboo, when the Senate feared that individuals were being held on the ship against their will. They also feared that the beings' personal fortunes were being misused, instead of being placed into a communal fund. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were sent to the ship, and discovered that Vox Chun had been secretly working with the remnants of Offworld Mining corporation to evacuate the ship and steal the treasury, as part of a plan known as Broken Circle. The ship would then be destroyed in the "accident," providing a plausible explanation for the loss of the treasury. However, due to the efforts of the Jedi, Uni, and Rhe Pabs, the BioCruiser held together long enough to reach Tentrix.
(JAD)
Biodegradable Binders
This form of binder used special polymers to form the loops into which a being's wrists were placed. Instead of a locking mechanism, a one-way clasp was used to keep the binders from becoming loose and falling off. The polymer material used to make these binders deteriorated in about thirty-six hours, but could be dissolved with chemicals if needed. These kinds of binders were used to temporarily immobilize animals, but could also be used to secure prisoners for transfer between penal facilities.

Biodisposal Pit
This was the unflattering name given to the medical disposal center located aboard the Star Destroyer Anakin Solo. Any of the hazardous or organic waste that was generated by the ship's medical facilities - from dirty bandages and used scalpels to dead bodies and other waste - was sent to the Biodisposal Pit, where it was incinerated in a fusion furnace before being ejected into space. Because disposal was often not immediate, the tissues and fluids that built up in the pit created a noxious odor that permeated the surrounding chambers.

Biodroid
These bio-engineered constructs were created by the Krakai to attack any Charr Ontee or Yapi which attempted to gain access to DarkStryder's fortress, on the planet Kathol. Standing three meters in height, the biodroids were armed with horned claws, and were bred to fight until the were killed.

Bio-Encoder
Produced by MerenData, this device was used to treat the surface of credit chips with a genetic culture formed from the cells of the owner. When treated this way, the credits could only be handled by their owner. If any being whose biochemical signature didn't match that of the owner happened to steal the credit chips marked with the culture, their skin would begin to discolor and experience searing pain.
(GFT)
Bio-Encryptor
Developed by Servenidain Securities, Limited, this device allowed a being to encode data onto a small chip for transport. The chip was then encapsulated in a gel-coated capsule, which was swallowed just before transport. Once at the being's destination, the capsule was expelled and placed back into the bio-encryptor for access. The chip itself was encoded by the user, while the gel capsule was covered with a chemical that hindered digestion. A time-released chemical was added to ensure the capsule was regurgitated.
(GFT)
Bio-energy Array
This prototype biological weapon was developed by the Qektoth Confederation. Like many of their other designs, the bio-energy array had the ability to pass through conventional shields to attack the target below. The weapon discharges a blue, lightning-like tangle of energy at its target, much like the pulse from an ion cannon. However, the weapon requires so much power to operate that it effectively drains the starship of power. Shields and life support suffer until the weapon can be recharged.

Bio-hound
This Imperial target tracking construct was the lowest form of cyborg created. The bio-hound was a malleable blob of organic material which can change shape as the environment dictates. Impregnated in the flesh of the bio-hound were stimuli receptors which send data to a bio-comp interface. A bio-hound was "programmed" by providing it with a genetic clue from the intended target: skin cells and hair were the most common. The bio-hound was then let loose on the planet where the target exists, and it begins testing the environment for signs of the target. The bio-hound was semi-intelligent, and can change shape or solve simple puzzles to maintain its search. Once it finds its target, the bio-hound "tags" the target with a clear, odorless liquid tracer that can be easily detected by Imperial agents. Some bio-hounds were equipped with acidic poisons in place of the tracer liquid, making them deviously simple assassins.

Bioinduction Gun
Ostensibly developed by Hugo Cutter, the bioinduction gun was capable of firing a beam of specialized energy at certain humanoid species. The energy beam shut down their internal systems and rendered them safely unconscious. The technology worked on large species, like Gigorans, but not on Humans, Rodians, or Devaronians.

Bio-Lab 177
This was the scientific facility that was located aboard the derelict Star Destroyer that was discovered by the crew of the prison barge Purge, about a year before the Battle of Yavin. Bio-Lab 177 was set up to allow scientists aboard the Star Destroyer to grow complete pairs of human lungs, without the need for a human body in which to grow. A huge vat was developed to hold the growing lungs, which were suspended in a nutrient bath that was continually filtered and replenished. These pairs of lungs were developed so that they could literally breathe on their own, without a connection to a human brain. Each pair of lungs was connected to an artificial voicebox, which could be used by the scientists to verify that the lungs were functioning properly. The creation of organic lungs was necessary because the contagion that was the focus of Imperial Bioweapons Project I71A seemed to attack the lungs of its host, taking over respiratory functions in order to re-animate a corpse and spread itself to other hosts.
(SWDT)
Bio-Lab 242
This biological research laboratory was located aboard the Star Destroyer that served as the mobile development facility for Imperial Bioweapons Project I71A, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Bio-Lab 242 served as the central data-processing center for the project, where computer systems modeled the effects of the project's primary contagion. Doctor Zahara Cody located the bio-lab after she and a group of survivors from the prison barge Purge made their way onto the Star Destroyer. Inside the lab, she found a working 2-1B medical droid that explained the entire project to her. It also told her of the huge concentration of pure contagion that were stored aboard the Star Destroyer, providing her with the knowledge that the corpses who were re-animated by the contagion could not function if they were too far from the source.

Biolight
This was a form of lighting that was found in the poorer districts of many large cities, during the final years of the Old Republic. Instead of relying on, and paying for, the public electrical system, many building owners chose to install biolight systems in their buildings. These systems used bioluminescent minerals and chemicals to produce a moderately bright form of light. While the use of biolight systems allowed owners to save credits on electric bills, they degraded over time, and needed to be replaced when they grew dim. In poorer locations, or where landlords were indifferent to the needs of their tenants, replacement of biolights was often overlooked, and many tenants were forced to live in near-darkness for long periods of time.

Bio-plasmatic Gel
Developed by the scientists of the Qektoth Confederacy, this substance was a highly corrosive acid blended with a sticky gel. When launched in torpedo casings against a starship, the casing exploded and sprayed the gel all over the target's hull. The gel stuck to the hull, which the acidic corrosive began to eat through the metal plating. Unless removed, the gel eventually ate through the hull and breached the ship. The gel lost strength over a short period of time, and could be burned off the hull during passage through an atmosphere.

Bioscan
This device was a scanning and diagnostics package developed for use by doctors and field medics, and allowed them to identify and analyze the biological condition of a living being. Originally developed in a joint effort by Athakam MedTech and the Rhinnal State Medical Academy, this walk-in device was equipped with a doppraymagno scanner, a vapor sampler, a toxin sensor, and a full-range energy scanner. All these systems combined to produce a complete bioscan of a patient, providing a wealth of information on their physical well-being.

Bio-stabilizer Implant
Developed more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, a bio-stabilizer implant was essentially a micro-computer that was imbedded in a being's body to analyze the contents of the circulatory system. Using sophisticated algorithms, the implant removed undesirable elements from the blood in an effort to maintain stability. The implant could also monitor surges and drops in nerve transmission rates.
(KOTOR)
Bio-stabilizer Mask
Similar in many respects to a bio-stabilizer implant, the bio-stabilizer mask could analyze circulation patterns through the skin, as well as monitor breathing through chemical sensors, and reactions through eye movements. Whereas the implant was surgically imbedded into a being's body, the mask was worn on the outside of the body. In this way, the mask was essentially a complete environmental system, preventing toxins from ever reaching the wearer.

This Corellian company produced some of the finest cyborg technologies for use in many applications. It also produced medpacs and other first-aid packages. BioTech was jointly owned by Neuro-Saav and the Tagge Company, and was behind only Chiewab Amalgamated Pharmaceuticals Company and Athakam MedTech in total sales volume for many decades. Marl Semtin arranged for an Imperial raid on the corporation's Ambria campus, in hopes of obtaining a pair of human eyes to replace the ones he lost. He was forced to settle on a pair of Trandoshan eyes instead.

Birgis
This planet was to be the site of a Yuuzhan Vong landing field, during the early stages of their invasion of the galaxy. Nom Anor tried to employ Boba Fett and the Mandalorian warriors to secure the planet for the Yuuzhan Vong. Although the Yuuzhan Vong planned to completely reform the planet, they wanted to Mandalorians to take control of the planet in order to preserve its inhabitants for use as slaves. Fett and his team made their initial assault appear to be authentic, but went out of their way to cause as few casualties as possible. Once inside the main control tower, they were able to pass along a datachip to one of the Birgis pilots. The chip contained all the information they had been able to gather about the Yuuzhan Vong. Cham Detta made sure that the woman pilot escaped, so that she could carry the datachip to the nearest New Republic outpost.

Birhan, Hefrar
This man was one of the many barq farmers who struggled to earn a living on the planet Qiilura, during the last years of the Old Republic. Birhan allowed Etain Tur-Mukan to stay in his barn for several days, after she escaped the attack that claimed the life of her Jedi Master, Kast Fulier. Birhan was therefore quite upset and angry when it was Etain who led the Republic's task force to remove the human colonists from Qiilura, in exchange for the assistance of the Gurlanin as spies and field agents. Birhan and several thousand other humans refused to leave the planet, even after being offered the chance to relocate to Kebolar, forcing Etain and the clone troops serving under her to extradite them by force.

Birket
This Imperial Security Bureau agent spent much of his career trying to track down Platt Okeefe. He once ran across the bounty hunter Boddu Bocck, and his assistant was killed when one of Bocck's poison-tipped darts pierced her heart. Bocck claimed the shot was an accidental discharge, but Birket never forgot or forgave the bounty hunter. However, when his own resources failed to ensnare Platt, Birket turned to Boddu Bocck and employed him to bring down Okeefe. He used the fact that Darrik had stowed away on the Last Chance as a reason for the bounty, claiming Platt kidnapped him. Birket also requried that Bocck bring in Tru'eb Cholakk, and all three needed to be alive. Bocck managed to capture Tru'eb on Tatooine, but Platt and Darrik managed to rescue her partner and get off the planet. They captured Birket in the escape from Tatooine, and Tru'eb eventually sold him into slavery.

Birok
This thug and his cronies worked for the Separatists on their homeworld of Diado, during the height of the Clone Wars. Birok once tried to goad Saesee Tinn into a cantina fight, but the Jedi wouldn't go for it. Na-Jia helped get Master Tinn out of the bar, and Birok believed that he had been shown up on his home turf. He sought out Master Tinn, capturing him with a rope and dragging him through the snowy streets behind his swoop. When it appeared as if Tinn was defeated, Birok slowed down. This gave Tinn a chance to gain his footing, then wrap the rope around a pole when Birok tried to escape. Birok was thrown from his swoop, and turned to face Master Tinn, who had drawn his lightsaber. Birok and his thugs opened fire, and all but Birok were hit by deflected blaster fire. Birok fled, but alerted a group of snowdroids to the presence of the Jedi Master. He believed that he had gained a measure of respect with the local Separatist military officers, until it was discovered that Master Tinn had allowed himself to be captured, so that he could steal the prototype starfighter being built on the planet.

Lieutenant Bisilt was assigned to the Thaere Interceptor, which was dispatched to blockade the Cularin System during the height of the Clone Wars, as part of a Senate-supported effort to protect the system from Separatist invasion. Although his Thaereian superiors were happy with his work, the average spacer who was unfortunate enough to be boarded by Bisilt and his officers were often subjected to the worst kind of shakedown. He felt that he deserved a better posting that Customs, and took out his frustrations on the individuals he apprehended, even if they gave him truthful answers. Making matters worse, he wasn't afraid to shoot another being if he perceived a threat.

Bissillirus
Imperial Commander Resner believed that the system surrounding this star, located in Trax Sector, was the perfect place for the Empire to establish a supply depot, during his hunt for the Alliance forces in the sector. The system was discovered some 200 years before the Battle of Yavin by a group of Old Republic scout whose hyperdrive cut out in the middle of nowhere. The scouts were led by Arnoll Draenell, who mapped and named each of the five planets which orbited the star. When the Alliance discovered Governor Bursthed's plans to build a huge Imperial resupply station just outside the system, the Alliance sent out a team to disrupt its construction. Any large-scale Imperial presence in the system would have disrupted the flow of agricultural foodstuffs to the Alliance from Draenell's Point.

In many cases, the Biter rode on the back of the Beater, to ensure that it had a ready supply of raw material. The Biter would use its powerful pincers to hold onto the Beater, while the larger creature thrashed about destroying things. The mouth of the Biter was surrounded by dozens of thick tentacles, which it used to draw rubble into its mouth to consume.

Bith
This was the name of the native language of the Bith race.
(GMR10)
Bith
The Bith were a race of pale-skinned aliens with large skulls and long, splayed fingers. Their ancestral orgins were hard to discern, because their bodies contained no trace of anything but Bith information. They evolved into a race which excelled in abstract thinking, although they lacked certain instinctual emotions such as fear and passion. Their huge eyes lacked eyelids because they evolved past the need for sleep, a trait which allowed also them to see in minute detail. A Bith lacked a proper nose, instead having olfactory organs hidden in the flaps of their cheeks. The thumb and little fingers on each hand were opposable, and their mechanical abilities were known throughout the galaxy.
The Bith were native to the planet Clak'dor VII in the Colu System of the Mayagil Sector. They quickly developed advanced technologies, among them the use of deadly chemicals for warfare. Then, about 300 years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War, a planet-wide toxicological war broke out between the cities of Nozho and Weogar. Note the The New Essential Guide to Alien Species indicates that the war took place just 100 years prior to the Galactic Civil War. The conflict was based on the disputed patent rights to a new stardrive, and it destroyed the once-beautiful planet. The Bith were left with the choice of remaining bound there or expanding to the stars.
While many Bith chose to leave the Mayagil Sector altogether, the immediate survivors were forced to build hermetically-sealed cities to protect themselves, although many of these survivors soon followed their cousins into the stars in order to help preserve their race.
Those Bith who chose to remain in the Colu System, but refused to live the domed cities, relocated to a settlement on Clak'Dor IV. These Bith became known as the Y'bith, or Ghost Bith, and they were shunned by the more "normal" Bith.
Bith mating was neither an emotional not a physical experience, as the Bith race lost the ability to procreate sexually as a result of the mutations caused by the war. Instead, individual Bith brought their genetic material to a Computer Mating Service for analysis against prospective mates. Bith children were then created from the genetic material of two compatible parents, which was combined, fertilized, and incubated for a year.
The internal systems of a Bith were different from most humanoid species, including the fact that an individual Bith had just one lung. The Bith were also distinguished from other humanoids by their skin, which helped the respiratory system by exuding waste gases after every molecule of oxygen was extracted from the air.

Bitters, Filli
This man served as a slicer who worked for Jule Shryne aboard the Drunk Dancer, during the final years of the Old Republic and the early years of the New Order. When Jula agreed to help Roan Shryne and Olee Starstone escape from Murkhana, Filli took an immediate liking to Olee, despite her obvious disinterest. They found themselves working closely together, first trying to locate any Jedi who had survived Order 66, then tapping into the computer archives of the Jedi Temple in an effort to locate other Jedi. After rescuing Siadem Forte and several other Jedi, the Drunk Dancer landed on Jaguada's moon. There, the group took some rest and tried to decide how to proceed. When Starstone tried to boost the signal to get more information back from the Jedi Archives, she attempted to jump-start the power generators in the ancient communication facility. This led to the reactivation of the entire complex on Jaguada's moon, including the hordes of Separatist battle droids that had once protected it. After escaping from Jaguada, Olee Starstone set off on her own, and Roan Shryne remained with the crew of the Drunk Dancer. Jula assigned Filli to follow Starstone and her to locate any other surviving Jedi, although Roan suspected that Filli's presence would help to buffer Starstone's recklessness.
(RDV)
Bitthaevrian
This ancient species of warriors was native to the planet Guiteica, located in the Kadok Regions of the galaxy. They were a physically formidable race, with muscular bodies covered with a tough, leathery hide. The joints of their elbows and knees were studded with sharp quills, which quickly regenerate if broken off or lost in combat. Their upper jaw was studded with a row six serrated teeth, and it completely overhangs the lower jaw, giving the Bitthaevrian the appearance of a deadly shark. Each member of their warrior society had three names: the season they were born in, their mother's family name, and their own personal name. Males always took their wife's family name upon being wedded. As a people, the Bitthaevrians preferred to be isolated from the rest of the galaxy, and had no longing or desire to travel among the stars. During the decades leading up to the Clone Wars, the Bitthaervian people rebelled against the Old Republic, when it was discovered that a Republic-backed soldier tried unsuccessfully to depose the current ruler. In response, the Republic misled the Kaleesh into attacking the Bitthaervians, claiming that the Bitthaervians were a threat to the safety of Kalee. The Kaleesh augmented a group of Jedi Knights that traveled to Guiteica and defeated the Bitthaervians, decimating the m'Yalfor'ac Order and eliminating the threat of reprisal against the Republic. The Bitthaervians retreated into the Kadok Regions, and eventually returned to priminence only when the New Order was instituted, as the Bitthaervians decided that the Empire was the lesser of two evils.

Biulf, Prost
This man served as the Dean of the Peskdta Xenobotanical Garden, on the planet Garqi, many years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War.

Biurk
This stocky, male Devaronian served as a Captain in the Galactic Alliance's naval forces, during the years following the Swarm War. Captain Biurk was placed in command of the frigate Shamunaar when it was dispatched to patrol the Bothwaui System, when the Corellia-GA War broke out. Captain Biurk and his crew were assigned to coordinate the reconnaissance of Bothan activity in the system, and ensure that no Bothan warships were able to enter or leave the system. Thus, Biurk was surprised when Admiral Matric Klauskin arrived at the Shamunaar and explained that the mission had been betrayed.
Unsure what to do, Biurk relied on Klauskin's experience, and set about detailing a list of all possible traitors, unaware that Klauskin himself should have been in the Veterans' Mental Care Hospital on Coruscant. Klauskin suggested that Captain Biurk submit his crew to a battle simulation, during which he also suggested that he and Biurk monitor the crew's reactions from the emergency bridge. This allowed Klauskin to get control of the ship, as well as get Biurk alone. In the privacy of the emergency bridge, Klauskin shot Biurk throught the chest, then set about taking control of the ship.

When the dictator found out that Palpatine was about to replace him, he fled his planet and sought refuge on Monor II. Agapos the Eighth helped the man escape Imperial notice, and the dictator gave BK-4 to the ruler as a show of his appreciation. BK-4 was passed down to Agapos the Ninth when his father retired, and the droid had served faithfully ever since. BK-4 was Agapos' second-in-command, and was instrumental in the fight against the Empire.

Black 15
This was the codename of the Empire's orbital shipyard, which was situated near N'zoth during the Galactic Civil War. Black 15 was designed as a construction yard, and had limited repair capabilities. Taking advantage of the Yevethan population of N'zoth, the Empire brought the Yevetha to Black 15 and other shipyards in the Koornacht Cluster as indentured laborers. At the height of Imperial control, Black 15's staff was nearly ninety percent Yevetha. This statistic worried some Imperial officers, but it played into the schemes of Nil Spaar, the Yevethan boss at Black 15.
Upon assessing the situation at Black 15, Nil Spaar had his fellow Yevetha create small accidents and mistakes, which were later resolved when the Imperials began to focus on them. In this way, the Yevetha gained more trust from their Imperial controllers, and amassed technical knowledge about the shipyards and the vessels that were docked there.
The shipyard was under the command of Jian Paret in the months following the Battle of Endor, when it was atttacked and overtaken by the Yevetha in a sweeping revolution. The attack was masterminded and led by Nil Spaar, as part of his grand plan to dominate the Koornacht Cluster and rid it of all non-Yevetha.

Black Bantha
This Gamma-class navigation hazard was listed on most star charts as a black hole, but was actually a protostar. At the core of the Black Bantha was a knot of infrared energy, which was surrounded by cooling gas made up primarily of hydrogen. Because of its lack of inner light, the gas cloud appeared dark to normal eyes, hence its name. A ring of space debris and small asteroids surrounded the nebular formation. The nebula was located near Reecee, and was the site where Yuuzhan Vong forces massed in preparation to launch Battle Plan Coruscant.

Black Bha'lir
This creature, native to the jungles of Iyred, was a huge feline predator. They mated for life, and their loyalty to their mates was almost unparalleled in the animal kingdom. It made breeding them in captivity very difficult unless both mates were captured. They were efficient pack hunters, with the females doing the actual hunting while the males protected their territories. Over time, greedy businessbeings and unscrupulous entrepreneurs took large portions of the bha'lir population as pets or guardian animals, and the overall population suffered greatly. When Iyred was deforested, much of the remaining population was rounded up and placed in refuges on other worlds, such as Duunir.

(LSSM)
Black Eight Squadron
This was another name for the Black Squadron of Imperial pilots who served as Darth Vader's personal group of pilots, during the height of the New Order. The group earned this name because there were only eight pilots in the squadron, instead of the normal twelve. Vader went to great lengths to protect the reputation and composition of the squadron, so that he could continually choose the best pilots whenever a squad member was lost in battle. Unknown to most beings was the high turnover rate among Black Eight's pilots, especially at the position of squadron leader. Many times, the squadron leader only served for a few months before being transferred by Vader himself to another unit.
Juno Eclipse was the leader of the Black Eight Squadron at one point in time, until she was chosen by Vader to serve as the pilot of the Rogue Shadow. Under her command, the TIE Bombers of the Black Eight Squadron led the assault on the planet Callos. When the battle appeared over, Eclipse questioned Vader's command to wipe out undefended settlements. Vader accepted her question and adjusted his stance, ordering her to destroy the planetary reactor. The subsequent destruction of the planet's ecosphere led to Eclipse being investigated for her actions, which allowed Vader to use her as the Rogue Shadow's pilot without much administrative interference. In her place, a pilot known by the callsign Redline was promote to squadron leader.

Black Ice
A Field Secured Container Vessel, the Black Ice was part of replenishment fleet DK-209 during the Galactic Civil War. The Alliance discovered that it was used to transport huge quantities of starship fuels cells to shipyards in and around Mortex Sector. The Alliance launched bold attempt to steal the ship and its fuel supply after the loss of a refinery in the Choah Belt shortly after the Battle of Yavin. In its entirety, the Black Ice measured some 7,800 meters in length, from end to end. In between the two engine pods, the Black Ice was formed from nine individual doublefield spheres. After defeating Skolos and the ship's own systems, the agents succeeded in taking control of the ship. However, the Empire had secretly programmed the ship to send out an SOS beacon upon emerging from hyperspace, and Imperial forces followed the Black Ice to the Alliance base on Fangol. The Empire attacked with a torpedo sphere, but the Alliance countered by ramming the sphere with the emptied Black Ice. The resulting destruction wiped out the torpedo sphere and much of the Black Ice, but the Alliance was given time to evacuate Fangol. Note that the Black Ice module claims the ship was designed and manufactured by Rendili StarDrive, but the Imperial Sourcebook claims that Loronar developed it..

Black Queen
This was the alias used by Zelice Sturm, who was one of two female Jedi Masters who taught at the Almas Academy in the Cularin System, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Like her counterpart, Devan For'deschel, Sturm openly objected to the Jedi Council's orders for the Almas Jedi to join the ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. She was also among the first to join Master Lanius Qel-Bertuk in invoking the Right of Denial at the orders.
As the Black Queen, Sturm was one of the few Jedi from Almas who acted independently of the Academy's directives, which often meant that she used whatever force was necessary to resolve a given crisis. Her attempts to rescue innocent beings from persecution often ended with unnecessary deaths, and many within the Almas Academy feared that she would eventually turn to the Dark Side of the Force, if left to follow her own path. The Jedi Council on Coruscant came to view the Black Queen as a criminal, and dispatched Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi to Almas to ensure that Mater Qel-Bertuk brought her to justice.
How Zelice Sturm became the Black Queen was unknown to most beings, as she spent several months away from the Almas Academy before the Cularin System disappeared briefly from the galaxy. Upon Cularin's return, the Black Queen began carrying out her missions of rescue, although she soon turned toward smuggling and marketeering. She attracted a small gang of followers after she established a base on Tolea Biqua, in orbit around Genarius, and she eventually began acting against the orders of the Jedi. She went so far as to sabotage a series of Jedi Trials that had been set up by Master Qel-Bertuk, prompting the decision of the Jedi Council on Coruscant to track her down.
Upon learning of this plan, the Black Queen put her own plans in motion, ensuring that Master Qel-Bertuk's agents confronted her on her own terms. She drew them into a trap on the floating city of Tolea Biqua, and showed herself in the rundown Dark Edge Dancetorium. She had adopted a truly menacing collection of body armor, complete with a black leather bodysuit with unusual green bands and a gray half-cloak to cover it all. The agents confronted her with compassion and reasoning, rather than weapons and fighting, an approach that stunned her enough to realize that maybe she really was choosing the wrong path. She began to give in to the light, when the Dark Side of the Force made one last attempt to claim her.
She ignited her lightsaber and set out to slice the agents to bits, driven by anger and despair. The agents, however, simply stood their ground, realizing that she was very close to resolving her inner turmoil. Before her blade could cause any damage, the Black Queen was able to drive off the affects of the Dark Side of the Force, and shut the weapon down. She ceased to be the Black Queen, and returned to the Almas Academy as Zelice Sturm.

This small, black stone was one of the most valued possessions of the natives of the planet of Eckless. Rumor had it that the Black Sphere held the secret of the existence of the natives, and glowed with their inner light. After it disappeared during the New Order, a bounty was placed for its return by Rusha, the diplomatic ambassador of Eckless. Rusha knew that the stone had been stolen by Hahz Fallone,and pursued him to Chazwa. It was later revealed that the Sphere held the coordinates of the planet Eckless, and was important because Fallone had removed the planet from most navigational databases in order to preserve its secrets for himself. In order to protect the Sphere, Fallone wore it around his neck. An analysis of the Sphere revealed that it was nothing more than a ball of highly polished carbonite with flecks of white impurities which formed a star-like pattern.

Black Sun
This massive criminal organization was founded millennia before the onset of the New Order, slowly expanding its scope and sphere of control while remaining one of the most elusive of all galactic organizations. Black Sun had influence in almost every illegal activity, from running weapons to smuggling spice, from the acquisition and sale of information to assassination and espionage. Led by an Underlord who was supposed by a host lieutenants known as vigos, Black Sun grew almost continually for many centuries leading up to the Galactic Civil War.
Just before the Battle of Naboo, Black Sun was based on the planet Ralltiir, under the control of Alexi Garyn. Although the Galactic Republic claimed to have no tolerance for its existence, Black Sun nevertheless persevered. It was Garyn who made a bid to purchase information from Hath Monchar on the Trade Federation's plans to develop droid armies for a possible invasion. Darth Sidious, fearing that the information might reach the Galactic Senate, ordered Darth Maul to hunt down Monchar and eliminate any Black Sun member he had contacted. Unfortunately for the Black Sun organization, this meant that Darth Maul executed Garyn and most of his vigos.
The loss of so many leaders threw the organization into chaos for several years, until Dal Perhi stepped into become the new Underlord. The organization regained its footing in the galaxy, and with advent of the New Order, Black Sun was able to once again prosper. The Empire refused to acknowledge Black Sun's existence, provided that Perhi and his underlings paid the appropriate bribes and kickbacks to Imperial officers. The widespread agents of Black Sun once again foundered after Perhi's death, until a young Falleen named Xizor took control. Prince Xizor eliminated any serious threats to his rule, then established himself as Black Sun's most proficient leader.
By the era of the Galactic Civil War, Black Sun was a vast empire with a multitude of interests and operations. The primary source of income for Black Sun at this time was the sale of information, and Xizor worked hard to make sure he was in control of information that his customers wanted. Xizor also had several front agencies, such as Xizor Transport Systems, that he used to launder credits. Black Sun far surpassed anything Jabba the Hutt controlled, until Xizor's own personal agenda began to take precedence. As Xizor strove to unseat Darth Vader as the Emperor's right-hand being, he entangled the organization in the efforts of the Alliance to rescue Han Solo and destroy the second Death Star. In a climactic battle over Coruscant, Xizor was killed and Black Sun was left to die.
It was saved again only by its sheer size, but was never the same again. The remnants of Black Sun splintered, with just the group known as the Black Nebula achieving any sort of organization before being destroyed. Y'ull Acib tried to restore the organization to its former glory during the early years of the New Republic, but his plans to take control of the Imperial Interim Ruling Council were smashed by several forces. As a single entity, Black Sun very nearly ceased to exist, but its ideals and its extensive network of contacts kept it alive for many decades. Black Sun was able to survive the upheaval that accompanied the war between the Galactic Alliance and the Confederation, and it continued to find its niche in the galaxy following the Sith-Imperial War.

This was the name of a noted individual in Nosaurian history, and was seen by many Nosaurians as the architect of their resistance against the Empire. He started staging guerrilla raids shortly after New Plympto was classified as "expendable" by Imperial officers. He was hunted down by Imperial forces on his homeworld of New Plympto, and probably would have escaped had he not been trapped in a hiakk tree forest at sundown. The Imperials, understanding the Nosaurian need to bay at the setting sun, simpy waited until Fefar called out, then captured him by following the sound. His capture proved to the end of thr Nosaurian resistance during the New Order, but served as a historical precedent for the resistance to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. After he was dragged from the forest, Fefar was transported to Coruscant and placed on display in an Imperial zoo, where he lived for six months before taking his own life.

A former member of the Prophets of the Dark Side, he was later placed in charge of Imperial Intelligence by Emperor Palpatine himself. It was rumored that Blackhole was once a Senatorial page who was taken under Palpatine's tutelage. Others believed he was a functionary who worked in the Jedi Library on Coruscant before being seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. Blackhole's true appearance was that of an extremely frail old man, whose only movements were assisted by a Neimoidian mechno-chair device similar to that of the B'omarr Monks. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Blackhole simply disappeared, and was never heard from again.
Luke Skywalker once believed that Blackhole might have been the warlord who called himself Lord Shadowspawn. It was later revealed that Blackhole was none other than the so-called Mage Lord, Cronal, who had created the image of Lord Shadowspawn to carry out his will. The name Blackhole came from Cronal's upbringing among the Sorcerers of Rhand, and described his belief that he was an agent of the Dark, aligning his life with the Way of the Dark and using his powers to push the galxay toward its eventual destruction. After Kyle Katarn defeated the Dark Jedi Jerec on Ruusan, it was also discovered that Blackhole had been the driving force behind the development of Gorc and Pic, the two Dark Jedi "twins" who served as part of Jerec's band.

Black-hole Shield
This was the name used by the New Republic military to describe the unique, organic shielding systems used by the Yuuzhan Vong on their coralskippers. These shields acted like black holes, sucking in laser energy and absorbing it for use in other shipboard systems. Trast Kre'fey and Gavin Darklighter developed a tactic that used proton torpedoes to try and overload the black-hole shield system, causing it to consume more energy that it should, thereby diminishing their ability to protect the coralskipper.

Blackhole Stormtroopers
This was the name used to describe the specialized stormtroopers who were assigned to agent Blackhole during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Similar to the Storm Commandos, Blackhole Stromtroopers wore all-black body armor, although their armor was based on that of a standard stormtrooper.

Blackie
This man lived in the streets of Tolea Biqua, on the planet Genarius, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. From this position, he observed a great about the underworld in the Cularin System, especially the activities of Nirama, Riboga, and Rufus Trammel. By his own admittance, Blackie didn't like to shower, and cared very little for his own appearance. He was, however, always armed, and was continually on the lookout for thermal detonators. He didn't want to actually use them, especially after seeing his friend Valdo shot down, but wanted other beings to live with the possibility that he might use one to defend himself.

During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Blackmoons - under the command of Captain Yakown Reth - regrouped with the New Republic Navy at Borleias in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. After Luke Skywalker returned from Coruscant, the squadron's command was briefly turned over to him, during the attempt to make the Starlancer pipefighters look as convincing as possible. Later, after the Battle of Ebaq, Blackmoon Squadron was placed under the command of Captain Saz.

Blackout
This was the nickname of one of the clone troopers who served aboard the Jedi Cruiser Negotiator, serving under Obi-Wan Kenobi during the height of the Clone Wars. Blackout took the rookie trooper known as Spark under his wing, giving the newcomer the information he needed to fit in with the crew and prepare for battle. The Negotiator was dispatched to the planet Christophsis, as part of a mission to deliver supplies to the beings who were trapped on the planet when Separatist forces took control. Blackout and Spark were chosen to accompany Anakin Skywalker and Admiral Wullf Yularen aboard a prototype stealth ship, and the group relied on the ship's cloaking device to get them past the Separatist blockade.

Blackpit Slums
This was one of the harshest places to live on the planet Coruscant. Located several thousand kilometers from the Southern Underground, in the downlevels section of Galactic City's Yaam Sector along Amtor Avenue, the Blackpit Slums were always dark and gloomy, and there was no natural indication of day or night. Brightly-lit signs of all kinds kept some of the darkness at bay, but lit the area with garrish flashes and colors that made it difficult to navigate.

Blackscale, Cyssc
This immense Trandoshan male was the self-proclaimed Lord of the Blackscale clan, and operated the clan's slave trade on Kashyyyk during the era of the Galactic Civil War.
(SWGAL)
Blackscales
This was one of the strongest Trandoshan clans who operated a slaving ring in the Kashyyyk System during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The Blackscales were usually at odds with the Zssik clan, a conflict that came to a head on the Avatar Space Platform when members of both factions were unable to contain their aggression and launched into a full-scale riot. Imperial forces eventually stepped in to detain the two groups, but only after a group of freelance operatives managed to help several Wookiee slaves escape.
(SWGAL)
Blackshell
This was a slang term used by the resistance fighters on the planet Mindor to describe the black-armored stormtroopers who served Lord Shadowspawn. Few beings knew that the armor worn by these stormtroopers - which was impregnated with meltmassif stone and stygium - contained small recording devices that were concealed in the armor, allowing the leaders on Mindor to see what was going on in the stormtroopers' environment.
(LSSM)
Blackstalker
This creature was a mutant offshoot of the garral. Similar in shape and size only, blackstalkers were completely hairless and covered with an armored hide. This hide was formed from thousands of tiny, black, overlapping scales which were capable of deflecting blaster fire. Additionally, blackstalkers had a rudimentary contact with The Force, although the ability seemed to arise naturally and could not be duplicated by Imperial scientists. Unfortunately for the Imperials, blackstalkers were all but impossible to train, and the entire lot of specially-bred blackstalkers was targeted for elimination. A few individuals managed to escape their confinement, and were unaccounted for. It was believed that they managed to avoid detection and escaped in the holds of starships, and that their escape was aided by an unseen force. There have been rumors of blackstalkers breeding in the wild, and of individuals which bonded with sentients.

Blacktooth
This YT-2400 light freighter was owned by Faskus, during the years following the Swarm War. Faskus was a courier, and used the ship to make his regular deliveries. He had the ship refitted to accommodate his young daughter, Kiara, who often accompanied him on his runs. When he accepted a mission to carry the Amulet of Kalara to Ziost, Faskus arrived on the planet without mishap.
Unknown to Faskus was the fact that he had been set up by the Dark Lady of the Sith, Lumiya, who had been trying to test Ben Skywalker. Once on Ziost, the Blacktooth was attacked by a TIE Fighter, and was destroyed during the bombardment. Faskus and Kiara managed to escape, but Faskus suffered a fatal stomach wound when a pierce of shrapnel pierced his abdomen.

Blackwater Systems
This was the latest in a series of factories that were built on the planet Falleen, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was considered one of the most slipshod buildings erected during the boom in construction that occurred after the Battle of Naboo, and many of the workers commented that their jobs consisted of very few actual responsibilities. Even its construction was considered odd, since it lacked any windows. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker traced Granta Omega, Jenna Zan Arbor, and Roy Teda to the Blackwater Systems facility after the debacle on Romin, and realized that the trio was using the facility as a way to test various water-borne delivery mechanisms for the Zone of Self-Containment. Upon realizing that the Jedi had infiltrated the building, Granta Omega chose to destroy the entire facility - hopefully, with the Jedi inside - rather than risk being exposed. Obi-Wan and Anakin managed to escape, with the help of Siri Tachi and Ferus Olin, but were recalled to Coruscant on an urgent matter.

Blade-32
This was the top of the line Adumari fighter craft during the early years of the New Republic. Like the Blade-28 before it, the Blade-32 was an atmospheric assault ship designed and built by Tarrvin-on-Kallik. At 19 meters in length, it was half-again as long as an X-Wing. A single-pilot craft, the Blade-32 had a pointed bow and a unique, dual-tail design. The fuselage split just behind the cockpit into two engine pods, and the tails were connected by horizontal bars. The Blade-32 had a pair of wings which allowed for maneuverability, and had three primary weapons: two forward-mounted lasers, two backward-mounted lasers, and a pair of missile ports capable of firing up to eight missiles each. Wedge Antilles and Red Flight felt that the Blade-32 was a rugged fighter, but somewhat sluggish. In the years after Adumar's city-states united and the planet was admitted to the New Republic, the Blade-32 was refitted to have a hyperdrive and more modern sensor systems.

An investigation proved that Impeveri was innocent, and Blakken was voted out of office. Nevertheless, he remained an important figure in the city's government, and was among the many who were invited to debate the problems associated with floating cities during the height of the Clone Wars. It was Blakken's opinon that the floating cities were too much of a tax burden, and that they should be taken out of the jungles and established as ground-side locations. His opinion was seconded by many of Cularin's natives, although he continued to find opposition among the government.

They were well-armed and had the funding to carry out large heists, but never had a real opportunity until they were contracted by an off-world collector to steal certain pieces of art from the Galactic Museum. Among the artworks was a collection of ancient Twi'leki pottery, which the Museum had planned to sell at auction. The Blankers, as they were known, managed to reprogram one of the Museum's ASP droids, giving it instructions to steal the pottery and then "accidentally" walk off a ledge.

A goat-like creature that lived in the trees found on the Forest Moon of Endor, the blasé was a slow-moving beast that appeared to be a cross between a goat and a sloth. The average blase spent its day asleep, moving only as far as necessary to reach its next meal. They hung upside-down from tree branches, moving slowing along to find the next group of leaves. However, if frightened, a blasé could swiftly make its way to higher branches in order to escape a predator. Known as tree goats or Choreamnos, these creatures were hunted by the Ewoks for their meat and their milk. Males and females were all but indistinguishable, as both sexes had curved horns and furry beards of hair that hung from their jaws. It was believed that the blasé were not originally native to the Endor moon, but were brought there by the Starhunter Intergalactic Menagerie ark Starhunter Dhelba, which was stranded on the moon some 800 years before the Battle of Yavin.

This was a generic term used to describe any thick, reinforced portal that could be closed in order to prevent a building or installation from being affected by the force of an explosion. Blast doors could placed in strategic locations, including entry portals or corridors, so that an enemy force could not simply blast their way into key locations. Early blast doors were manufactured from durasteel, although heavier-duty units were later constructed from tunqstoid. Although the exact model depended on the manufacturer, most blast doors employed overlapping panels to augment their strength, with panels sliding across each other to form an effective barrier against projectile weapons, concussion weapons, and blaster fire. The thickness of a blast door also served as a deterrent to lightsabers, although the heat and energy of a lightsaber blade could cut through and eventually melt the material used to form the blast door.

This feline predator was native to several levels of the wroshyr forests of the planet Kashyyyk. They were for the fact that they carried a number of infectious diseases, most of which were dangerous to Wookiees. The blastail was named for the bulb of fur-covered flesh that was found at the end of the tail. This bulb collected all manner of pollen, seeds, and spores as the blastail moved through the jungle, providing cross-pollenation for a number of plant species. When startled or angry, the blastail could literally throw the bulb at their attacker, spraying the creature with the pollen and spores. This often resulted in a temporary blindness, if not a severe allergic reaction, allowing the blastail to escape. The fur of the blastail ranged in color from orange to dark beige, and was mottled with stripes or spots to help it blend into its environment.

BlastBoat 2000
This weekly starship demolition derby took place within the city-dome of Echnos City, found on the moon Echnos.

The speeders which raced in the event were all armed with a single weapon, which could be a laser turret, a small concussion missile launcher, or even a mining drill. The object was to make it all the way through four distinct quadrants of the race, each of which had its own specialized threats. Sometimes it was a tangled maze; other times it was a forest of spiked metallic trees. Contestants could use their weapons against each other or the terrain, in order to make their way to the finish. Should a competitor's vehicle be disabled, they were out of the race.

Blaster Buster
Produced by Oriolanis Defense Systems, this pistol was designed to fire a tiny missile at an opponent's own weapon. A telescopic, laser-assisting sighting system helped ensure and accurate shot, and a tracer system of low-powered laser beams "painted" the target prior to firing. Once fired, the projectile detonated upon impact, shattering the opponent's weapon and rendering it useless.

Blaster Fist
One of the most unusual melee weapons ever developed, the blaster fist resembled a hemispherical shield that was worn over the hand. Inside the blaster fist, a short rod allowed the wielder to hold onto the weapon. At the end of this rod was a firign stud that could be pushed with the thumb. When fired, the blaster fist emitted a powerful, though extremely short-range, blast of cohesive energy. Because of the size of the blaster fist, it could only be fired a few times before requiring a recharge. If the power ran out, the blaster fist could be utilized as a bludgeon.

(SWJ15)
Blastsword
This was the traditional Adumari weapon. About a meter in length, the blastsword resembled a long vibroblade with a curved metal guard protecting the hilt. The blade itself was sharp until it reached the tip of the sword, which resembled a flared nozzle rather than a point. When the blastsword contacted a solid object, the nozzle emitted a blast of laser energy. Individual blastswords emitted different color blasts, and helped to enforce a user's individuality.
(SOA)
Blast-tinting
This starship system was used to automatically change the opacity of the portals aboard starships, in cases where bright light could suddenly flash into the ship's interior. A sensor system known as a flash detector monitored the incoming light near a starship, checking for any increase or decrease in the ambient light. Events such as solar flares, explosion, or collisions all generated sudden changes in light that could be detected by the flash detector, which then triggered the automatic tinting of the portal to prevent damage to the eyes of the ship's passengers. When conditions returned to a preset normal, the flash detector sent another signal to the blast-tinting, this time restoring its transparency. Note that several sources claim that transparisteel can darken or lighten by itself. Is this system used for other materials>

Blastwell, Hamo
An Alliance starfighter liaison aboard the Independence when Keyan Farlander was recruited, Lieutenant Blastwell was Keyan's escort when Farlander first arrived aboard the ship. They later became friends and wingmates during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Blastwell was promoted to Captain shortly after Farlander completed his training, although he was among the many pilots who were forced to fight for their lives when his astromech droid suddenly began taking remote commands. The astromechs, part of the group that was stolen from the ARS Opus had been given hidden programming which, when activated, caused their starfighters to stop reacting to the pilots who flew them. Luckily, the Alliance discovered the hidden programming and was able to send a rescue team to recover Blastwell and the other affected pilots. Hamo continued be one of Farlander's best friends, even when others began to shun him after the deaths of several wingmates in combat. Unfortunately for Farlander, Hamo was apparently killed during the Battle of Yavin. His "death", however, was carefully staged by his superiors, and allowed Blastwell to resurface many months later as Captain Trace of the Imperial Navy. In this position, Blastwell was able to recruit many Imperial pilots and officers to defect from their service to the Empire and join the Alliance.

Blaylock Effect
This was the term used to describe the way in which a planet's atmosphere sometimes magnified images, when conditions and temperatures were just right. The Blaylock Effect made small bursts of light appear to be huge fireballs.

Blaze troopers were trained to work in environments were heat and flames were prevalent, and to use flamethrowers and heavy weapons fire to blast their way through enemy forces. For protection, these jet troopers wore heavily-modified versions of the basic jet trooper armor, including fire-resistant armor plating and a self-contained insulation and environmental control system. The gauntlets of the blaze trooper contained an integrated flamethrower unit that drew fuel from the armor's jet pack system. Blaze troopers were often the first troopers deployed to a battlefield, so that they could smash through the main enemy force and scatter it, allowing supporting troops to pick off the stragglers.

Blazing Claw
This symbol, which had many variants in the galaxy, was used by pirates and corsairs throughout the galaxy. Its exact origins were unknown, although pirate gangs used the symbol well before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. The blazing claw took many forms, but the basic shape was so popularized by holovids during the era of the New Order that even the most ground-locked beings recognized what it stood for.
This recognition provided pirates with several benefits, not the least of which was instilling fear in the private vessels that were ambushed along distant hyperspace travel routes.

Bledsoe
This man was an expert in the fields of disease and medicine, and worked for the Empire during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Dr. Bledsoe was a strong supporter of the Emperor's xenophobic policies, a stance that earned him a great deal of attention from the Alliance. He was captured by a group of Alliance agents shortly after the Battle of Yavin and held for questioning. He was eventually freed by an Imperial strike force.
(SWGAL)
Bledsoe's Disease
This strange affliction was bioengineered by the Empire, under the direction of Doctor Kaaldar, in the years following the Battle of Yavin. Specific strains of the disease could be unleashed, each causing unique reactions. In general, Bledsoe's causes the skin to burn, then begins discoloring the victim's eyes. The discoloration resolves itself into a starfield pattern, and the individual strains reveal individual patterns. Each of the patterns, however, was a star-map which showed the location of an Alliance base. Imperial forces were instructed to watch for outbreaks of the disease, then round up the victims and read the star-maps in their eyes. Thus, attacks could be made on Alliance bases without open communication of the next target. Luke Skywalker contracted Bledsoe's on Tatooine, and was taken into custody. He and Anduvil managed to escape from Doctor Kaaldar's laboratory and warn the Alliance about the use of Bledsoe's.

Aola was the younger sister, and was viewed as the more subservient of the pair. Unlike her sister, Aola had a fear of hyperspace travel, and never traveled beyond the borders of the system. When Mala struck and alliance with Riboga the Hutt, Aola refused to meet with the Hutt unless his ships traveled deep into the system. Even then, Aola could not rbing herself to fully trust Riboga. Unknown to the sisters, Riboga played them both against each other, changing his allegiance from one to the other just to watch the balance of power shift in the Thaere System. This angered the Thaereian Military as well as Aola, for both parties hated to see the Hutts gain a stronger hold on the Thaere System. Both Mala and Aola were killed shortly after Riboga fled the Cularin System, and their deaths were characterized as "untimely" by the local population.

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

This woman was once a good friend of Danzigorro Potts, during their early years of training to become Jedi Knights, more than 24,500 years before the Battle of Yavin. Blendri and Potts had been friends since childhood, and it was Blendri who first showed Potts how to use the Force. As children, neither understood what they were doing, thinking that it was some sort of magic. Both were eventually for training, and soon became Jedi Knights.
In the years leading up to the First Great Schism, Blendri and her apprentice, Cuthallox, disappeared with Jedi Master Jook-jook H'broozin. It was later learned that the three Jedi had abandoned the Jedi Order and joined the dark-side forces led by Xendor. Although Potts killed H'broozin on Corulag, Blendri and Cuthallox managed to escape. Potts caught up with them on Columus during the First Great Schism, and he managed to defeat both of them in combat. However, Potts himself was mortally wounded in the fighting, but managed to survive long enough to leave behind a record of his experiences.

Blenjeel
This uninhabited desert planet was located far from most hyperspace lanes. The sands of Blenjeel were noted for their unusual consistency, which shifted over time. Rocky outcroppings which were stable one day seemed to sink into the sand the next day. Much of this change was attributed to the movements of sand burrowers. Some ten years after the Battle of Endor, a merchant ship was shot down over Blenjeel. Investigation by Jaden Korr revealed that the ship had been shot down by Imperial forces based on the planet's surface, in an attempt to conceal the Imperial presence on the planet.

Bl'Era'Har
This was name of the rudimentary, defensive sensor system that was employed by the ancient Gorothites. The term "Bl'Era'Har" literally meant "Sky-Track," which was a basic description of the sensor suite and its duties. It was funded and operated by the D'Jar'Min. Using the Bl'Era'Har, the D'Jar'Min were able to discover the asteroids which were sent against Goroth Prime by the Corellian and Aqualish factions that were fighting for mining rights to the planet. Unfortunately, the Bl'Era'Har could only provide a few hours' notice of the impending collisions. The orbital defenses of Goroth Prime employed ion cannons, which were ineffectual against the huge asteroids. The impacts caused an event known in the Gorothite language as Se'Lenti - The Scouring.

Bleyd, Tarnese
This male Sakiyan served the Old Republic as an Admiral during the Clone Wars, commanding a MedStar ship that supplied the various Rimsoo units of the planet Drongar. It was in this position that Bleyd encountered Filba the Hutt, and the pair quickly began forming plans to make a profit from the sale of processed bota. Bleyd himself was skilled hunter of rare skill who was motivated more by a need to avenge his family name than by any true loyalty to the Republic. He believed that he deserved a much better posting that Drongar, and would have preferred somewhere at the heart of the fighting, where he could have used his innate skills to obtain a much higher-visibility position. The criminal aspect of his demeanor was not unusual, given that his father, Tarnese Lyanne, had become involved with Shiltu the Hutt. It was Shiltu's double-crossing that led to Clan Tarnese's downfall, ultimately forcing Bleyd to enlist with the Republic military in order to make ends meet. When, in Bleyd's opinion, the Republic failed to recognize his talents, he decided to make himself rich at the Republic's expense. He and Filba secretly made contact with the Black Sun organization, and arranged for a series of regular, though small, shipments of bota to be made available for sale. Filba's plans to freeze the processed bota in carbonite allowed them to ship the bota across the galaxy, making it more profitable for all. Bleyd, however, wasn't satisfied with the cut he was getting from Black Sun, and planned to set out on his own. These plans were thwarted, however, after Filba became equally as greedy, and tried to force Black Sun to pay a higher price for the bota. Bleyd confronted Filba shortly after the Hutt was poisoned by Kaird, and Filba died in his grasp. Black Sun sent an agent to investigate, and Bleyd promptly murdered him rather than giving in to their demands. This forced Kaird into action, and the Nediji confronted Bleyd about his actions. Bleyd, ever the hunter, accepted Kaird's challenge, and the two squared off in a knife duel. The duel appeared to be a stalemate until Kaird threw his knife at Bleyd. Bleyd deflected the knife with his arm, laughing at the Nediji's apparent foolishness. Unknown to Bleyd, however, was that the knife had been coated with dendriton toxin, which entered his system through the wound. Within minutes, Bleyd would have died from the toxin, although Kaird spared him any agony by cutting his throat before the toxin took effect.

Blissex, Walex
One of the key designers of the original Victory-class Star Destroyer, he was an Engineer for the Old Republic. Blissex was the lead designed on the team which developed the Delta-7 Aethersprite for the Jedi Knights, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. He later improved upon this design when he developed the Alpha-3 Nimbus fighter, which became known as the V-Wing. He went into hiding when the New Order was initiated by Emperor Palpatine, not wanting to be judged by his support of the Republic. However, when the Alliance began making headway in its battle against the Empire, Blissex re-emerged. His daughter, Lira Wessex, laid a trap for him by having her husband send an all-systems message, requesting that Blissex come to see his "dying daughter." Lira and enn Wessex had dispatched the Star Destroyer Subjugator to intercept Blissex at Kwenn space station. Although the Alliance fought against the idea, Blissex opted to visit ihis daughter, taking a small group of Alliance agents with him for support. When the plot against him was revealed, Blissex and the agents were thrown into the shpi's brig. Shortly afterward, the Subjugator was attacked by Task Force Starfall Alliance starships which were unaware of Blissex's presence. The Alliance agents fought to escape from the brig and get free of the Subjugator before it exploded. They managed to survive, with Blissex's knowledge of the Victory-class ships and the Alliance agents' resourcefulness. He later provided his full resources to the Alliance, and was given the honorary rank of General for his contributions. He worked with Jan Dodonna to develop the A-Wing starfighter, shortly before the Battle of Endor.

(CCG3)
Blizzard 2
This was the callsign of Brigadeer General Nevar's AT-AT, during the Battle of Hoth. It was heavily armored by Nevar, who was paranoid of losing his life in battle. The armor proved to be of little value when Alliance forces used harpoons and tow cables to trip the walker as it plodded forward. The force of the impact as it hit the icy ground buckled the armor plating, exposing gaps that Alliance gunners filled with laser fire. In short order, Blizzard 2 was destroyed, and all aboard were killed.

(JS)
Blob Racing
This sporting event, in which specially-bred Umgullian blobs race through a blobstacle course, was the primary economic force on the planet Umgul. Despite its near-religious following, blob racing was one of the few legal forms of gambling permitted on the plabet, and any form of cheating at a blob race was punishable by death. To ensure fariness, the Umgullian Racing Commission tested each blob before and after each race, and the results were made public quickly, so that every citizen knew the status of their bets. Blobs were analyzed for age, mass, and viscosity, which were the primary factors in a blob's agility and speed. In order to be considered the winner of any given race, a blob had to move its entire body mass across the finish line. Any time two or more blobs crashed into each other and formed a single individual, known in the sport as total fusion, all blobs involved were disqualified from the race.

They were able to communicate a variety of emotions through the opening and closing of their nostril flaps, which they tattooed with a multitude of colors and patterns. These flaps also served to provide the Blood Carvers with the senses of small and hearings. They joined the Old Republic almost 100 years before the Battle of Naboo, after they were exterminated from their homeworld by the Lontars. Only a few hundred survived, and nearly all migrated to Coruscant. They were known as artists and assassins, two seemingly opposite traits. However, the Blood Carvers considered the art of sculpture - especially of blood tree wood, which gave them their name - as a form of assassination, taking away what wasn't needed to leave the best behind. Every Blood Carver was taught that the accumulation of wealth was a sin of the ego, and and profit was returned to their homeworld to help the greater good. When they died, Blood Carvers were ritually cremated, to return them to nature.

Blood Code
This was the name given by the Snivvian race to their genetic pattern. It had been engineered and refined over the millennia in an attempt to weed out the occurance of twin males in a single birth. The initial results were very promising. The incidence of twin males dropped almost to zero, and the Snivvians prospered. However, the strength of mind and body that resulted from this genetic manipulation made them prime targets for Thalassian slavers. The Thalassians began transporting large numbers of Snivvians off Cadomai through hyperspace, providing them to the highest bidders. It was believed that prolonged exposure to hyperspace travel eventually mutated the Blood Code, for several instances of twin males occurred during the height of the New Order.

This was the base, located on the moon of the third planet in the M2398 system, which was marginally loyal to Warlord Zsinj. The base of the Blood Nest team was housed inside the hull of an old Super Transport VI container ship, which was also marginally flyable. Arratan and the leaders of Blood Nest were sick and tired of the raids performed by Captain Darillian and the Night Caller. The name was derived from the deep red sand of the moon's primary desert. The Blood Nest intercepted the carrier Red Feathers en route to Ession, hoping to catch Zsinj's forces by surprise. Inside her holds, the Blood Nest carried three full squadrons of X-Wing fighters from the New Republic. When the ship reported structural failure, Ession's security forces required a self-destruct. As the ship destroyed itself, the -Wings lit up their engines and matched the rate of descent of the pieces, until TIE Fighters from the Implacable chased it down. They then broke free of the debris and engaged the TIEs.

Over time, the Blood Raptors were able to spread out to other planets in the system, including a gang that caused problems on the floating city of Tolea Biqua. The Blood Raptors were hired by Mebara Jos to kidnap Di'hal'uma, after it was learned that the Twi'lek was investigating the actions of the Fireclaw Horde. They were successful in capturing Di'hal'uma from the Dancing Flame Tavern, but were pursued by a group of freelance agents when one member of their gang was caught in the tavern. This man revealed that the gang had been hired by a man named Jax, but that was all he knew.

Blood Sport of Rattatak
This was the term used to describe the vicious, bloody gladiator events staged by the warlords of the planet Rattatak, during the last decades of the Old Republic. At first, the combatants were individual Rattataki who had disgraced themselves in combat. After slavers discovered Rattatak, rival warlords often purchased offworld gladiators in an effort to defeat their fellow chiefs. It was rare that any one gladiator survived more than a couple fights, mainly because slavers began entering their own combatants into the events, hoping to make more credits from the bloodthirsty Rattataki. The Blood Sport reached its height shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, when Count Dooku traveled to Rattatak to recruit a leader for his Separatist armies. From the ranks of the gladiators he discovered Asajj Ventress.

Blood Trail
This Force skill was attributed to the Nightsister clan on Dathomir. It allowed a Force user to track the location of a family member by following the "trail" of one's blood as it moved around. Very few beings knew that this technique even existed, let along knew how to use it. Darth Caedus learned the technique to help him locate the hidden base of the Jedi Order, in the wake of the Battle of Kuat, some forty years after the Battle of Yavin. The blood trail required that a given individual place a fair amount of their own blood on the body of another being. This blood was tainted in such a way that it could not be scrubbed off, but appeared to the victim to be a strange bruise. By following the trail of this blood, the individual could track the victim across great distances, although not with much accuracy until the distance became smaller. The Nightsisters developed this technique in order to mark their slaves, so that any slaves who tried to escape could easily be tracked down.

This vicious predator lived in the oceans of a remote Outer Rim planet. The proper name for this species was ghannoidal certecyes, but most beings simply called them bloodfins, a name that described the striking red crest that covered their backs.
(NEGV, LF8)
Bloodfin
This was a species of creature that resembled the aquatic predator known as ghannoidal certecyes, which was also called the bloodfin. These creatures were found on the planet Bastion, where they were once trained as cavalry mounts. Over time, as technology became more and more prevalnet, these terrestrial bloodfins were relegated to use as dressage beasts by the Imperial nobility that lived on the planet. Like their namesake, the trained bloodfin had a brilliant, scarlet crest. Although they were impressive beasts used in parades and honor guards, bloodfins were difficult to train, and sometimes reverted to their predatory nature and consumed anything - and anyone - who happened to be in front of them. Few beings realized the skill and dedication of the handlers and trainers who readied them for display. Thus, the bloodfin became a symbol of the belief that the Imperials had to be careful of the beasts they chose to ride, since a bloodfin would often turn on its rider when he or she dismounted, especially if a rider were unsually cruel or careless. These land-based bloodfins walked about on four legs, each of which ended in a cloven hoof that resembled a large dagger. The mouth of the bloodfin was filled with sharp fangs, and its red crest ran along the length of its spine.
(LF8)
Bloodfin
This Imperial warship was one of the first new Turbulent-class destroyers rolled out by the Imperial Remnant, during the years following the Swarm War. A crest with an image of the terrestrial bloodfin found on Bastion adorned the main bridge, depicting the creature trampling its rider. Gilad Pellaeon, the Bloodfin's first commander, explained to Tahiri Veila that the crest was a reminder to the Imperials that they needed to rule without cruelty or carelessness, lest the people turn on them, just like a bloodfin would attack a cruel rider. During the Second Battle of Fondor, Tahiri managed to assassinate Pellaeon, after he ordered the Imperial fleet to break off its attack and only obey the orders of Admiral Cha Niathal. The crew mutinied, forcing the Moffs and other military leaders to lock themselves in the ship's command center in order to regroup and try to take back control of the ship.

Blooding
This Abyssin ritual was observed by two tribes in times of famine or drought. The tribes which met at an oasis would fight until all members of a tribe were killed or incapacitated in order to secure the right to consume the water. Over time, Blooding became a method by which irreconcilable disputes between two enemies were resolved, with the victor gaining all the loser's possessions.
(GG4, UANT)
Bloodletter
This was the pseudonym used by the human spy who lived on the planet Thyferra during the ten-year period following the Battle of Naboo. His memoirs of this period, known throughout the galaxy as the Thriving Season, were published in a book called Thrive or Die: Memoirs of the Bloodletter. In the book, he explained that he decided to go to work as a spy for a group of Vratix who would eventually become known as the Ashern. The Vratix hired him at twice the pay he would have received from either the Zaltin of Xuchpra factions of the Bacta Cartel, provided that he go to work for both factions and play one against the other. The Vratix Seeqov Thranx got him jobs in each company, working as an alazhi field inspector, that allowed him to be out of the office for extended periods each week. When the Ashern began development on an enhanced strain of alazhi known as kolazhi - the basis for kolcta - Thranx and the Bloodletter were ordered to keep an eye on its development. They worked together for a year before the project was discovered. A mercenary who wore armor similar to that of Jango Fett had been hired by the Bacta Cartel to eliminate the Ashern responsible for its development. The mercenary shot both Thranx and the Bloodletter and then left them for dead. Thranx, however, survived long enough to use the enhance bacta to bring the Bloodletter back from the brink of death. Before she died, she told him the complete story of the development of kolcta. Unknown to the Vratix, however, was that the Bloodletter was also working for a wealthy man who was dying of a strange disease, and who paid handsomely for the secret of kolazhi. The Bloodletter managed to obtain the only known specimens from Thyferra, and immediately converted it to kolcta, thereby preventing the Bacta Cartel from ever discovering it. His employer paid him quite well, and the Bloodletter lived for many years on the credits and his own supply of kolcta. It was later discovered that the mercenary hired to kill the Bloodletter had actually been hired by his wealthy exployer, and had managed to obtain a few samples of kolazhi on the off-chance that the Bloodletter would try to eliminate it.

BloodScar Pirates
This band of pirates rose to prominence in the Shelsha Sector of the galaxy, during the height of the New Order. Members of the BloodScar group were identified by their shoulder patches, which bore the BloodScar logo depicting a cluster of twisted, thorny branches. This logo served as a subtle reminder that any individual or group that chose to mess with them was in for serious trouble. The BloodScars maintained several bases throughout the sector, but established their main base on Gepparin. Because Imperial law declared that all pirates gangs were local law enforcement problems, the Empire made no moves to put a stop to their predations.
The BloodScars were known throughout Shelsha Sector for their vicious attacks, often stealing everything they could from a vessel and then blowing up, killing any beings aboard. However, most of their ambushes appeared to be calculated events, as only certain ships with valuable cargoes were taken from larger convoys.
Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the BloodScars were one of several groups that were vying for control of Shelsha Sector's criminal underworld. The BloodScars were also one of the most prolific groups of the time, ambushing at least eight military transports in the year and a half leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Some of these were Imperial ships, earning the BloodScars the notice of the Empire. When Mara Jade learned that the BloodScars had ties to Moff Glovstoak and several other Imperial dignitaries, the Star Destroyer Reprisal was dispatched to Gepparin to destroy their base and eliminate the pirates, thereby covering up any possible connection between the BloodScars and the Imperial leaders of Shelsha Sector.
In the wake of the attack on Gepparin, Jade realized that the BloodScars had actually been working for the Imperials, most likely employed by Governor Barshnis Choard himself. By ambushing Imperial ships as well as civilian vessels, the BloodScars obtained Imperial munitions and supplies, which Choard could sell on the black market or kept to built his own private war machine. Choard and his cronies could then request replacements, and maintain their military strength.
Armed with this information, Jade set out to track Choard down on Shelkonwa and bring him to justice.

(GG9)
Bloodsniffer
This was a species of nocturnal predator that was native to Kamar. The average bloodsniffer resembled a thick-bodied lizard, but was actually mammalian in nature. These creatures moved about on four stubby legs, but each leg ended in a clawed foot that was used as much for climbing as it was for attack. The thick tail of the bloodsniffer provided balance as well as a weapon. Its head was protected by a pair of small horns, and its face was dominated by its all-white eyes. It was the tongue of the bloodsniffer that gave the creature its name, however. The hollow tongue was studded with tiny barbs, and ended with a sharp spike that could pierce the skin and flesh of another creature to reach the blood below. In a single feeding, a bloodsniffer could consume more than its own weight in blood, draining large creatures in a single feeding. Bloodsniffers were very territorial creatures, and would fight to the death with others of their species to protect their hunting grounds.

Bloodsniffers
This swoop gang was founded on Xiunsrus, during the height of the New Order, and was named after the Quence Sector predator.

Bloomi, Herk
This man worked as a financial officer at the Bank Niro Eleven facility on Niro 11, during the early years of the New Order. Distinguished by his bald pate and plump body, Bloomi agreed to meet with Mr. and Mrs. Telstarr, who were actually Clive Flax and Astri Oddo, to discuss information about the rebel leader known as Flame. Because Bloomi was the director of new accounts, the sudden meeting with the Telstarrs was not noted as being unusual. Clive and Astri had been directed to meet with Bloomi by Keets Freely, who knew that Bloomi was opposed to the Empire's takeover of the galaxy. He revealed that Eve Yarrow had maintained control of the Yarrow Industries bank accounts, and that these accounts were still paying out regular transfers to an account on Revery. Clive and Astri then left his office to travel to Revery, but their attempt to access the Yarrow accounts was discovered by Darth Vader. Vader placed Bloomi under investigation, in an effort to ensure that Yarrow's identity remained a secret. He turned Clive and Astri's ship identification information over to Inquisitor Hydra to track them down.

Bloor, Melvosh
A Kalkal academic, Bloor was a professor of Investigative Politico-Sociology at Beshka University. He came up with the idea of writing an investigative paper on Jabba the Hutt, and petitioned the university for funding. P'tan interrupted, however, and claimed that he should go instead of Bloor, since Bloor was an untenured junior professor. The board agreed with P'tan, and Bloor was forced to remain at the university. When P'tan failed to return on time, the university sent Bloor to Jabba's palace on Tatooine to determine whether or not P'tan was still alive, and to continue the study of Jabba and his crime ring. However, Bloor was waylayed in the tunnels by Salacious Crumb. Crumb brought Bloor before Jabba, in an attempt to humor the Hutt. However, Bloor was a pure academic, not a comedian, and the only joke he knew was one that Jabba had already heard. The Hutt fed Bloor to his pet rancor.

Blorash Jelly
This sentient form of blob was harvested by the Yuuzhan Vong and used as a way to bind an enemy. Also known as quick-jelly, blorash jelly was attracted to the body heat of a living being, and was created to reach out for the warmth and grasp it. In this way, the blorash jelly didn't so much stick to a being as hold onto them. 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 blorash jelly 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.

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

Blue, Anchor
This immense Houk was one of the gladiators who was fighting on Rattatak when Assaj Ventress submitted her name as a combatant, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. Anchor Blue fought well enough on his own, although he once lost his right hand in battle. The Rattataki warlord who owned him had it replaced with a vibroblade, but he also had a pain-causing device implanted in the blade's hilt. This allowed the Rattataki to remotely cause Anchor Blue to experience and intense jolt of pain, which drove the Houk into a fighting rage. When the fighting was over, the same device pumped sedatives into Anchor Blue's bloodstream, calming his down enough to be returned to his meager cell. Unfortunately, Anchor Blue was among the combatants who stepped into The Cauldron with Asajj Ventress, and the lightsaber-wielding Rattataki made quick work of dispatching him.
(SWDB)
Blue, Deliah
This female Zeltron, distinguished by her red skin, flowing blue hair, and buxom figure, was a former party-girl who eventually became a pirate and bounty hunter, some 137 years after the Battle of Yavin. She started out working for the Feeorin pirate Rav, but later set off with Cade Skywalker and Jariah Syn, serving as the Mynock's chief mechanic. Like Jariah, she was completely loyal to Cade, but her own connection to Cade was much more physical. Their romance was largely unacknowledged, but simmered below the surface of every conversation they had.
After turning in Naxy Screeger and Hosk Trey'lis to Rav and collecting virtually nothing in return, the trio fell upon hard times. They barely had enough credits to repair the Mynock, and had received no new assignment from Rav, when they were intercepted by Astraal Vao and Marasiah Fel. The two woman begged for transport to Vendaxa, a request to which Cade suddenly agreed. Deliah and Jariah were both at a loss, until Cade explained that he knew who Fel actually was: the daughter of former Emperor Roan Fel. Cade explained that they could not only claim the bounty on Marasiah's head, but also the immense bounty on the former Emperor.
However, on Vendaxa, they were set upon by Darth Talon, who had been trailing the Imperial Princess. It was then that Cade was forced to reveal his true heritage, when he called upon the Force to prevent Darth Talon from killing his friends. While Jariah was torn between his loyalty to Cade and his own hatred of the Jedi, Deliah calmly wondering how they could use Cade's powers to make a killing by running scams across the galaxy.
After escaping the Sith on Vendaxa, the crew of the Mynock took Princess Fel back to Bastion and delivered her to her father. Both Deliah and Jariah were handsomely rewarded for their efforts, but both were surprised and saddened to learn that Cade and Jedi Master Wolf Sazen fled into the galaxy on their own. Deliah and Jariah received a handsome reward for their efforts, but Deliah was angry that Cade had left them behind. She was further upset when Jariah wanted to gamble his half of the reward in order to make enough credits to replace the Mynock. Deliah refused to help him, and agreed to meet with Rav on Socorro to discuss a new job.
Unknown to both Deliah and Syn was the fact that Rav had already sold them out to the head of Imperial Intelligence, Nyna Calixte, who was searching for Cade Skywalker. Calixte turned them both over to the Sith, who tortured them in an effort to force Cade to use his power to heal Darth Krayt. Both were implanted with Sith-augmented Yuuzhan Vong coral seeds, which grew at an accelerated rate and threatened to kill them if Cade didn't intervene. Cade drew on the Dark Side of the Force to save them both, then agreed to serve the Sith in exchange for their freedom. Although Deliah and Jariah both protested, Cade declared that they owed him nothing and forced them to leave the Sith Temple.
When Deliah and Syn returned to Rik's Cantina, Queen Jool showed them a hologram that had been recorded by Cade and stored in R2-D2, explaining that the Mynock was now their ship, and to stay away from the Sith Temple. When Jariah suggested that they simply leave, Deliah demanded that they consider rescuing Cade. They were then approached by Morrigan Corde, who was already working on a mission for Moff Vorlish Veed, to either rescue Cade or kill him. After several weeks of planning and reconnaissance that was aided by modified Yuuzhan Vong insects, their mission happened to coincide with Cade's own attempt to defeat the Sith and break free. Morrigan helped Deliah and Syn rescue Cade, then she disappeared into the undercity of Coruscant. However, during the rescue, Deliah was upset by the amorous attention Cade lavished on Darth Talon, and refused to talk to him until Cade himself broke the ice between them. He explained that the Sith were indeed full of passion, but that there was an empty, black hole where their hearts should be. He then explained that Deliah was different, and that whenever she was nearby, she took away the darkness in Cade's heart. This made Deliah's own heart happy, and she found herself kissing Cade and forgiving him.
Cade hoped to escape, at least briefly, from the rest of the galaxy, so the group traveled aboard the Mynock to Iego, where they were taken in as guests by Droo and "Bantha" Rawk. An Imperial attack on the Rawk's Nest forced them all back into action, and Deliah found herself whisked away to Taivas, where Cade hoped to convince the surviving Jedi to launch an attack on Darth Krayt. On Taivas, Deliah spent her time cajoling Jedi Mater Tobias Sun, until Cade announced his intentions to assassinate the Sith Lord. Deliah worried that their small team had never carried out an assassination before, but agreed to follow Cade on whatever mission he could plan out.

This smuggler plied the trade from a base in the Smuggler's Run. She earned her nickname from the blue replacement tooth she wore. She was an old acquaintence of Han Solo, having served as the dealer in a number of sabacc matches in which Solo won a great deal of credits. She always thought he was lucky, but couldn't ever link up with him romantically. Eventually, as the Empire crumbled and the Hutts lost control of the Run, Ana went to work for the Glottalphib crimelord Nandreeson. She worked with Zeen Afit, Kid DXo'ln, and the Wookiee Wynni, and was secretly in love with the rogue Davis. She met up with Solo once again when he came to the Run to investigate Jarril's death. Like her colleagues, she pretended to befriend Solo in an effort to bring him to Nandreeson. However, her conscience got the best of her, and she helped Han rescue Lando Calrissian from Nandreeson. Her life took a rough turn, though, when stolen droids - meant to be on Coruscant as part of Dolph's plans - exploded all over the Run. Ana was injured, but Davis was killed in the explosion.

This man was a known criminal, working on the planet Corellia during the last decades of the Old Republic. He was contacted by the Techno Union, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, to gather a group of mercenaries and track down Ratri Tane. Blue managed to capture Tane, and held him hostage when Aayla Secura and Ylenic It'kla arrived on Corellia to rescue Tane. Unknown to Blue, however, "Tane" was actually Nejaa Halcyon in disguise. The real Tane had already been whisked away to a safehouse to ensure the survival of he and his family. When the Jedi refused to cooperate, Blue shot "Tane" with his blaster and escaped, believing that he had killed the real Tane and recovered the prototypes he had been carrying. The ruse was necessary, because the Old Republic wanted the Techno Union to believe that the threat to the Separatists posed by Tane's defection had been eliminated. Note that this character was also referred to as Tendril Blue.

Blue Diver
This Mon Calamari heavy carrier was part of the Galactic Alliance Second Fleet, during the years following the war with the Yuuzhan Vong. Just before Thrackan Sal-Solo assumed control of the Corellian System, the Blue Diver was scheduled to travel to the Tingel Arm to investigate the Yuuzhan Vong's Vector Prime passage, in order ascertain the lingering effects of their invasion. However, the ship was eventually redirected to the Corellian System, as part of the Galactic Alliance's attempt to bully the Corellians into standing down.
The Blue Diver and the rest of the blockading fleet were forcing into battle when the Bothans launched their own fleet in support of Corellia, catching the GA vessels shorthanded. Although Centerpoint Station was disabled and the fleet managed to reach their escape location at Point Bleak, the flagship Dodonna was badly damaged. Admiral Tarla Limpan decided to transfer the flag to the Blue Diver as soon as the Second Fleet was safe. Admiral Limpan and her fleet were given new orders that involved a series of hit-and-run attacks on Corellian locations, including Centerpoint Station, but these attacks did little damage.
After Jacen Solo received an offer to negotiate with Sadras Koyan for Corellia's possible return to the Galactic Alliance, Admiral Limpan and the Blue Diver accompanied him to the rendezvous point, although they remained out of sensor range so as not to provoke the Corellians. The rest of the Second Fleet followed behind, maintaining a safe distance to counter any possible ambush by Corellian warships. When a pair of Corellian starfighter forces launched an attack, Admiral Limpan brought the Blue Diver and her supporting ships into the battle. This played into the plans of Sadras Koyan, who then fired the Centerpoint Station repulsor at the rendezvous point. The blast tore through both fleets, eliminating Corellian and Galactic Alliance warships. The Blue Diver was among the many ships that were vaporized by the blast, and all aboard at the time were killed.

Han Solo often frequented this bar in the Corellian sector of Nar Shaddaa. It was a seedy dived that only served liquor, but the rooms were covered with posters of holo-vid heroes and Corellian landmarks which appealed to Han. After returning from the Tion Hegemomy, Han met Bria there.

Blue Max
Blue Max was a small, cubical B2-X droid, modified by Jessa Vandangante's technicians to fit inside Bollux and remain hidden until needed. The little droid was named for its blue coloration, and for the fact that it had the maximum amount of computing capacity that could be stuffed into its small form. Max also had a number of other abilities, including remote operation of Bollux. Blue Max had an acerbic wit, but exhibited an exuberant, almost child-like personality after he got to know an individual better. Max had a single photorecepter mounted in a turret on top of his cube. Jessa later hired Han Solo to transport the two droids to Orron III, where they were to meet up with Rekkon's team and infiltrate the Authority Data Center on the planet. It was then that Max showed his true worth, as he was able to access the Corporate Sector Authority's computers and determine the whereabouts of people who had been mysteriously disappearing. Max was able to take in huge amounts of peripheral data, and crunched on the data until he was able to discern the location of the Stars' End facility. It was on Mytus VII that Max was able to set the Stars' End facility's security systems to overload, which resulted in the entire building being shot into orbit. After surviving the mission to Stars' End, Blue Max and Bollux were manumitted by Jessa, and the pair decided that they wanted to see the galaxy. To accomplish this, they asked Han Solo to accept them as crew members. Han overrode his instinctual distrust of automatons, after witnessing the two droids' loyalty and talent, and accepted them as crewmembers. They proved invaluable a number of times, helping to incapacitate Zlarb and his thugs on Lur. Blue Max then showed how much he enjoyed the life of an independent spacer when he displayed a rather salty, blue vocabulary that Han quickly put a stop to. The two droids were also able to communicate with the Millennium Falcon, and helped to keep it operating at top condition. When Han and Chewie set off to find the Queen of Ranroon, Blue Max again proved his worth, helping to translate the log-recorder, assisting Skynx in his investigation of the ship, and by finding a way to destroy the Guardian Corp of war-robots. Following the discovery of the Queen, Blue Max and Bollux left Han Solo and went with Skynx to help the Ruurian finish his studies before becoming a chroma-wing flier.

Blue Milk
This nutrient-rich beverage was served on worlds where natural resources were scarse. Planets such as Tatooine imported or produced blue milk to supplement the water-poor diets of its inhabitants. Blue milk was also rumored to have medicinal value, and was often churned to separate the whey and coagulate the milk solids into blue butter. Blue milk was produced in different grades that were distinguished by their fat content. The grades were denoted by the wavelengths of light that could pass through the finished product, with shorter wavelength blue milk containing less fat that longer wavelength varieties.

Blue Mountains
This range of mountains was located just outside the city of Montellian Serat, on the planet Devaron. During the height of the Clone Wars, it was rumored that smugglers had established a base of operations in the south side of the mountains. This was a carefully-planted rumor, however, used by Senator Vien'sai'malloc to cover the true nature of the base in the mountains. The Senator had allowed the Separatists to use the north side of the mountains as a military base, from which they launched a series of ambushes against Republic supply convoys.

Blue Shadow Virus
This plague was believed to have been eradicated from the galaxy many years before the onset of the Clone Wars, until Separatist scientist Nuvo Vindi managed to create a new strain in a secret laboratory on the planet Naboo. While the original virus was only capable of being transferred via water, Doctor Vindi's strain could be used as an airborne bio-weapon. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, with the help of their clone troops and Senator Padme' Amidala, managed to capture Doctor Vindi. They also believed that they had secured the entire lot of vials containing the virus, but one of Vindi's droids managed to recover one vial. The clone troopers tried to stop the droid, but it managed to set of a small explosive and release the virus into the air system of the laboratory. Captain Typho of the Royal Naboo Security Forces discovered a possible cure when he learned about the root of the reeksa vine, prompting a desparate mission to recover the plant from the Separatist-held world of Iego. Anakin and Obi-Wan were able to recover a specimen of reeksa root from the planet Iego, which was used to create an extract that destroyed the virus and saved the lives of those who were infected.

The blurrg was a hulking, tadpole-shaped creature with two stout legs and a pair of tiny arms. Its legs ended in splayed, three-toed feet which gave the blurrg excellent traction. Its mouth was overly large for its head, and was in constant motion, eating all the plant material it encountered in the grasslands. The blurrg was not incredibly smart, having a tiny brain, and could not be provoked. They were known to run directly into small trees, knocking them down and moving on.

BLX General Labor Droid
This series of Serv-O-Droid labor droids was designed and produced to serve as a heavy-duty industrial worker. It was roughly humanoid in shape, and was first introduced about 100 years before the Galactic Civil War. These Class Five droids were built to last, and many served in the same or similar roles for generations. As designed by Serv-O-Droid, the BLX was a jack of all trades, lacking and sort of specialization. Thus, with proper programming and regular memory wipes, a BLX droid could perform any number of jobs, from zero-gravity starship repair to cargo loading. It was later learned that BLX droids that had not had their memory wiped began to develop personalities, and that many owners preferred to let their BLX droids evolve over time.

Bly
This clone trooper commander was in charge of defending the Old Republic's base on New Holstice, during the height of the Clone Wars. Officially designated as CC-5052, Bly was one of the first ARC troopers to be trained by Alpha, and was specifically trained on Kamino. Note that Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 84, indicates that Bly's designation was CT-80/88-2199.
After New Holstice was attacked by a group claiming to be of Mandalorian descent, Bly was attached to Jedi Master Aayla Secura's unit as squad leader of the 327th Star Corps, during a mission to recover a scientific instrument package from Honoghr. Their mission was to recovered the SIP from a Separatist transport that had crashed on the planet, dumping a cargo of trihexalophine1138 into the environment. It was on this mission that he found himself doubting General Secura's leadership when she refused to let him kill Quinlan Vos, who had suddenly appeared on Honoghr in search of the same SIP. Bly couldn't help but be suspicious at Quin's offer to locate the SIP together, then allow Aayla to return to Coruscant with it. He agreed to the plan because of General Secura's orders, but wasn't surprised when Quin tried to escape without them. Before he could fire, Bly was knocked to the ground by a blast of Force energy. Dazed, Bly was unable to get a good read on Vos as the two Jedi engaged in a lightsaber duel. Only when Aayla surrendered, hoping to draw out some shred of good in her former Master, did Bly get a chance. He managed to shoot Quinlan twice, but the renegade was able to escape to his ship, albeit without the SIP. Bly and General Secura returned the scientific instrument package to Coruscant, hoping that it would provide a way to save the Noghri.
In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Bly was dispatched to Felucia with Master Secura. However, when Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed Mace Windu, he sent out communications to the various clone commanders to execute Order 66. Upon hearing the order, Bly ordered his troops to open fire on Secura and Barriss Offee, utterly destroying the defenseless Jedi Masters.
In the aftermath of the Clone Wars, Commander Bly was assigned to lead the team that was dispatched to subjugate the planet Yutusk.

Bnar, Ood
This ancient Neti Jedi Master was descended from a creature that lived in the trees of Myrkr. Note that the Tales of the Jedi Companion claims Ood Bnar was a member of the Ryyk species, and that he was orphaned on Myrkr. After the death of Odan-Urr, Ood Bnar took on the task of maintaining and expanding the vast library and museum that Odan-Urr had started on the planet Ossus. He was 1,000 years old when his prophecies and knowledge enabled him to be named the gatekeeper of the Jedi Holocron possessed by Master Arca, just before the Great Sith War. Arca loaned it to Thon just before Thon apprenticed Nomi Sunrider, and Thon used it often in Nomi's training. Ood Bnar appeared as a sluglike humanoid, whose round head had no eyes but was covered with long appendages which hang to his waist. After Ossus was devastated in the destruction of the Cron Cluster, Ood Bnar was thought to have died. However, Master Bnar had learned of the destruction of the Cron Cluster early enough to evacuate most of the beings on Ossus, and buried a cache of lightsabers in the ground. He then used the Force to transform himself into a massive tree, in order to protect the lightsabers. He was believed to have been long dead, until Luke Skywalker and Kam Solusar discovered the ancient, tree-like creature on Ossus, several years after the Battle of Endor. There, Bnar was helping the Ysanna tribe discover their Force sensitivity. In a ritual, all young Ysanna warrior-priests were tied to Ood Bnar's form, humbling them in the face of the Light Side of the Force. Bnar was later forced to confront the Executor Sedriss, and in a duel of Dark and Light Side energies, Bnar and Sedriss exploded. Sedriss was not heard from again, but a smaller form of Ood Bnar was found growing in the Jedi Master's former location. The explosion of the two enemies opened a chasm in the earth surrounding the Jedi Master's location, and the Ysanna discovered a wealth of ancient but operable lightsabers. This was a sign to Luke and Kam that the Jedi Knights were about to be reborn.

Seeing Iniro's ship destroyed, Jaub took out as many TIE Fighters as he could before sustaining damage to the Bnef Nlle. Rather than die without a fight, Jaub piloted the small ship on a collision course with the Vigilance, obliterating its shields upon impact.

During a subsequent raid, Boakie encountered Luke Skywalker's astromech droid, R2-D2, waiting near a smal cave.

The goraxes which inhabited the moon sometimes domesticated the boar-wolf, using them as guardians. The average boar-wolf had no hesitation to eat anything which crossed its path. A Gorax used a borra to capture Jeremitt and Catarine Towani when their star cruiser crashed on the moon.

Boasa
This unusual form of sculpture was created on the planet Alderaan by the Killik race, long before humans settled on the planet. This made them extremely old and mysterious to the human population, before Alderaan was destroyed by the first Death Star. Very few of these artworks survived the destruction, and a group of ten boasas was owned by the casino kingpin Ludlo Lebauer until he agreed to sell them to Leia Organa Solo. Lebauer had originally obtained several of them from Threkin Horm as payment for a gambling debt, a fact which made many Alderaanians very angry. The fact that Lebauer had the credits to buy the remaining boasas in order to complete the group of ten rankled even more. Each boasa was unique in shape, made from a translucent material which surrounded a hollow pattern. Helixes, cylinders, and ribbons were common patterns, and the coloration of each was hypnotic. One of the unusual aspects of the boasa artform was that, suspended in the translucent material, were destructive bacteria that were held in stasis. If an individual touched the surface of the boasa, the oils in their skin attracted the bacteria and provided a growth medium for it. Thus, the touching of a boasa was prohibited.

Bobo supposedly hired Villie to distract the Jedi Knights long enough for Bobo to gain access to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. With a Yinchorri guard, Bobo infiltrated the Temple and stole the Secret Treasure of the Jedi. He then killed his Yinchorri guards and fled the planet. Unknown to Bobo, Villie had placed several seeds from a stalking onsonker into his body. The seeds attached themselves to Bobo's stomach, and Villie used the seeds' mother, Fluffy, to track Bobo down. Villie demanded that the Treasure be turned over, and Bobo obliged in the hopes of being saved from Fluffy. Villie, however, was not in a charitable mood.

Boc
This Dark Jedi compatriot of Jerec was one of the few known Twi'leki Jedi. Known as Boc the Crude and born Bocas'eca, he was cunning and brash, and was known to laugh at and taunt his opponents during battle. Although he had a great sensitivity to the Force, he was undiscovered for many years, until Nejaa Halcyon located him. Halcyon deemed him too old to be trained as a Jedi, and Boc immediately claimed that he had been cheated out of his destiny. Boc spent years studying the heritage of Twi'lek Force users, until he discovered the three crystalline idols created from the ashes of Newar Forrth. He was able to use his connection to the Force to "read" the idols, and became more and more convinced that his destiny lay with the Jedi. His dreams were crushed when he was captured by slavers and sold to Imperial Vice-Admiral Terrinald Screed. It was during this time that Boc's powers were noticed by Inquisitor Jerec, who took the Twi'lek as his own slave and began sifting Boc's mind for information on the ancient Jedi and Sith. Jerec began teaching Boc something about the use of the Force, although he never truly released the Twi'lek from slavery. Boc became proficient in the use of two lightsabers at a time; his own lightsaber was a large device which could activate a single blade, or - when pulled apart - could be used as two blades in the Jar'Kai style of combat. When Jerec intercepted the Jedi Knight Qu Rahn on Dorlo, Boc tried to execute Duno Dree, but Rahn tried to defend the youth. With a quick slash, Rahn managed to hobble Boc by severing the tendon in one leg. Boc never forgot the attack, and clamored for an opportunity to exact a horrible revenge on Rahn. Jerec wouldn't allow it, however, preferring to do the job himself. Boc, like Jerec's other Dark Jedi, was defeated by Kyle Katarn during the search for the Valley of the Jedi. Ironically, Boc was slain at the foot of a statue of Newar Forrth on Ruusan.

A native of Commenor, he wore his black hair long, with a topknot pulled toward the back of his skull. Bocck was a member of the Imperial Scout Corps, and became a bounty hunter after his hitch was up. He later established a base of operations in Cloud City's Port Town. Bocck once ran into Major Birket, and an accidental discharge of a poisoned dart killed Birket's young assistant. Birket never forgot the event, even though he eventually turned to Bocck to help locate and capture Platt Okeefe and Tru'eb Cholakk. Bocck managed to capture Tru'eb on Tatooine, but his henchmen were unable to capture Platt on Cloud City. He turned Tru'eb over to Major Birket and collected part of the bounty.

He and Falk then grew up as part of the Shawpee Gang, and they were fond of frocking jawas and stealing ronto steaks. Over the years, he grew into one of the minor information brokers in the spaceport city. After they left the Shawpees, Dodo and Falk joined Jabba the Hutt's ring of informants. Falk was eventually killed for spying, but Dodo remained with Jabba's group, and even joined the bands that played in the palace. Dodo managed to avoid his own death when Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon, having been sent to deliver a message from Bib Fortuna to Onici Wen. After Jabba's death, Dodo sneaked into the palace and stole some valuable treasures before fleeing Tatooine forever. Among those treasures were the sculptures known as the Minstrel and the Dancing Goddess. He sold these back to their original owners, and retired to a comfortable living on Tharkos.

This was the term used to describe the destructive kind of Force energy that was the opposite of the Ashla, by the Force users who were native to ancient Tython. The Bogan was the embodiment of raw passion and uncontrolled emotion, leading many scholars to believe that the Bogan was the original manifestation of the Dark Side of the Force. Legends held that the followers of the Bogan became involved in a great war with those beings who followed the Ashla, 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.

Both Bogan and Ord Vorra were Adepts at the game of Strag, and their love of the game brought them together. Bogan, because of his position as Kersos' shuttle pilot, had access codes to the Admiral's ships. Kaird managed to steal one of these ships for his escape from Drongar, after luring them to a viewing of the Strag Sector Match Championship on Galactic Sports Update and drugging their wine with myocaine.

This temperate, swamp-covered planet was orbited by no less than eighteen moons and natural satellites, ranging in size from large boulders to near-planets. Because of the passage of these moons in close proximity to the planer, Bogden's surface was literally pulled apart by the gravitational "tides." Several times a day, the land moved and swayed as moons passed "over" and "under" the planet, and the beings who called Bogden home had to learn to walk and maintain their balance as the ground shifted underneath them. Most of the moons of Bogden were inhabited by smugglers, bounty hunters, and other criminal elements. During the early years of the New Order, Bogden was the site of a secondary pirate base maintained by Gir Kybo Ren-Cha. It was there that the pirate held Gerin, daughter of Lord Toda of Tammuz-an, in an effort to take control of the planet.

Bogey
An amorphous creature that lived in the Kessel spice mines, the bogey resembled a bouncing ball of light. For many years, the existence of the bogey was strongly debated, as many scientists believed that bogeys were just figments of the feeble minds of the beings imprisoned on Kessel. Rumors of similar creatures surfaced on many worlds, but Kessel was the first to actually report the existence of bogeys. As they moved about, bogeys made sounds that were similar to the chittering of a swarm of insects, although no one ever considered this to be a form of speech. Bogeys seemed to be made of pure energy, and fed on the glitterstim spice which was found in Kessel's crust and mantle. Their bouncing, bobbing movement resulted from the bogey's consumption of spice, moving from vein to vein and absorbing the spice directly into its body. These creatures seemed to be oblivious to the beings that worked in the mines, but any contact with the bogey resulted in an electrical discharge that could accidentally harm the being. These discharges could also render electronic equipment inoperable for up to an hour, causing a temporary overload that shorted out most systems. Some three years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo were asked to investigate the groundquakes that were occurring on Kessel, and they located a strange set of caverns well below the planet's surface. They found ancient pieces of machinery that were still operating, and these machines seemed to be the homes of the bogeys. Leia made contact with several individuals, and her connection to the Force gave her the impression that each bogey had a specific role in its society. This society was similar in many respects to a computer system, with certain bogeys acting like datacards and other acting like communication devices. Leia also found that the normal movements of lower lifeforms in the tunnels and caverns tended to match the paths that the bogeys traveled, suggesting a link between the strange life that existed on the planet. Through the Force, Leia could sense that the bogeys on Kessel lived in a sort of three-dimensional pattern, with each node in the pattern seeming to be a small gravity well, and each bogey moved within this pattern to carry out their functions. As they continued their explorations, the Solos discovered that bogeys with different functions seemed to emit different kinds of light. Some bogeys appeared to glow with a bright red light, while others glowed with an array of purple and red colors. They also found that the sounds emitted by different bogeys were different, with some sounding like chittering insects while others sounded like strange music. When the Solos discovered that the machinery being tended by the bogeys was going to self-destruct, a massive effort was put in place to prevent the destruction of the planet Kessel. Individual pieces of machinery were randomly destroyed, preventing the planet from tearing itself apart. However, once the machinery was destroyed, all the bogeys seemed to disappear. It was believed that the strange creatures were somehow dependent upon the machinery, and when it ceased to function, the bogeys ceased to exist.

Bogg 11
This was the eleventh moon of the planet Bogden. Bogg 11 was one of the moons of Bogden that had an atmosphere, and often passed close enough to Bogg 4 that the two moons shared their atmospheres.
(BF1)
Bogg 2
This rocky clod of dirt was the second moon of the planet Bogden. Like many other of Bogden's moons, Bogg 2 maintained an atmosphere. Once each orbit, Bogg 2 passed close enough to Bogg 9 to share atmospheres. During the last years of the Old Republic, counterfeiters created fake Republic Credits on Bogg 2, then shipped them via low-altitude balloons to Bogg 9. A group of co-conspirators would then steal some of the balloons as they moved between the moons, and then a claim would be made against the "stolen" credits. In this way, the criminals were able to "legitimize" the counterfeit credits while obtaining actual credits at the same time.

Bogg 4
This was the fourth moon of the planet Bogden. It was covered with rocky terrain, but had an atmosphere which could accommodate many humanoid species. Bogg 4 was large enough to suffer the same seismic disturbances encountered on Bogden itself, only the effects were much more pronounced on Bogg 4. Buildings and structures had to be built to accommodate the shifting landscape during periods of gravitational "tides", and the beings who lived on the moon were forced to adapt their walking style to match the moving surface.

During the last years of the Old Republic, counterfeiters created fake Republic Credits on Bogg 2, then shipped them via low-altitude balloons to Bogg 9. A group of co-conspirators would then steal some of the balloons as they moved between the moons, and then a claim would be made against the "stolen" credits.

Bogga
The Hutt crimelord who ruled the underworld of the Stenness System during the time before the Great Sith War. He was nicknamed 'The Merciful One' because of his tendency to give those who crossed him another chance to return to his favor. The options he usually provided were death or a very dangerous task; most Hutts would simply kill the offender. He became a sort of protector to the 'Nessie mining colonies, protecting them from pirates… for a price. He was not, however, very happy with the fact that Jedi Master Thon was living on Ambria, since Bogga had a fascination with the Dark Side of the Force. He ordered the death of Andur Sunrider, in an attempt to steal his Adegan crystals. He later attacked Thon's base, hoping to recover the gemstones, but was driven back by Nomi Sunrider.

Although the Raider had removed his facial wrappings in order to sing, Wenny couldn't see his face. Further investigation revealed that the Raider was singing the plaintive song for a dead companion, something never before documented.

Bogwing
This flying predator was native to the swampy jungles of Dagobah. Measuring 1-5 meters from nose to tail, the bog-wing had leathery skin and a snake-like body propelled by large wings. The young of the bog-wing were born in mid-flight, as the mother drops from an extreme altitude. The bogwings use their sharp talons to grasp the small rodents and water creatures which inhabit Dagobah's swamps. There were two distinct subspecies of bogwing known to exist, the greater and lesser bogwings.

Bogzider, Bipopa
This Aqualish ship captain owned and operated the Nanda's Luck during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Known to his comrades as Bippi, he was a gruff master who rewarded loyalty and service among his crew. His years of experience on the oceans of Ando were evident on his body, which was scarred and repaired in many places. Bippi had an artificial leg, an archaic and painful prosthetic eye, and a cybernetic hand which could be fitted with a variety of implements. He was badly injured when the Nanda's Luck was attacked by Pyash Yopayomba, the Pirate Queen of Ando, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Only the efforts of Sissalik helped Bippi survive the initial attack. Yopayomba confronted them both, and admitted that she thought Sissalik's bravery and defiance was admirable. She agreed to repair the Nanda's Luck and supply men to replace those that were lost in the fighting, in exchange for one thing. Bippi surrendered to her, hoping that he could salvage the situation. However, Yopayomba took her own initiative and cut off Bippi's head. She growled that none of her people ever surrendered, no matter what the situation, then made Sissalik the Captain of the vessel as her servant.

Boil
This goateed clone trooper was part of Ghost Company, the small force led by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Commander Cody that was sent to liberate the city of Nabat, on the planet Ryloth, about a year after the start of the Clone Wars. Boil groused at the fact that their mission had been charged with keeping Nabat intact, preventing the clones from using heavy ordnance or other destructive weaponry. Boil's frustration with the mission only increased when Waxer tried to befriend a young Twi'lek girl and bring her to safety, especially after the little girl bit his finger when he tried to help her. Although Waxer was able to earn her trust when he and Boil removed their helmets, Numa refused to accompany them when they returned to base. Thus, both Waxer and Boil were surprised when Numa appeared ahead of them, having bypassed their positions by moving through the city. They located her damaged house, and tried to comfort the young girl as best they could. Numa then warned them about the sudden appearance of gutkurrs, and led the clones to safety through a series of tunnels. Boil later participated in the mission to return to Geonosis, in an attempt to capture Poggle the Lesser.

This man served as the Chief Executive Officer of Arakyd Industries, during the final years of the Old Republic. He was disheartened when his board of directors agreed to join the Techno Union during the years following the Battle of Naboo, as the corporation lost a number of valuable contracts with the Old Republic government. Boil was therefore happy to oblige when Supreme Chancellor Palpatine of the Republic made a deal with him. In exchange for Boil acting as a spy and reporting on the activities of Techno Union leader Wat Tambor, Palpatine agreed to purchase thousands of Prowler 1000 exploration droids for use within the Grand Army of the Republic. The Prowler units were shuttled through a dummy corporation to preserve Boil's usefulness.

Boiny
This Rodian was a member of the Nebula Front team, led by Captain Cohl, which infiltrated the Trade Federation battleship Revenue shortly before the Battle of Naboo. In the wake of their defeat at Dorvalla and their near-capture near Asmeru, Cohl's crew was either killed or alienated. Only Boiny remained by Cohl's side, especially after Cohl agreed to help Havac pull together a team of assassins to kill Chancellor Valorum on Eriadu. However, when the Jedi caught wind of Cohl's activities, Havac was forced to take action to avoid discovery of his own plans. Havac's forces intercepted Cohl's people on Eriadu, and a firefight broke out. Boiny was shot and left for dead by Havac in the melee. Boiny managed to survive, just barely, and helped Cohl regain consciousness. They then lent assistance to the Jedi Knights who were on Eriadu, but Boiny was shot again and killed while protecting Qui-Gon Jinn's back..

Bok
This Kajain'sa'Nikto and his father, Tsyr, were two of the last members of the Morgukai Warriors. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, they were mercenaries who used cortosis-based armor and weapons to fight against the Jedi Knights. They were hired by Ro Fenn, with the assistance of Vilmahr Grahrk, to kidnap Nat Secura in an effort to force Lon Secura into keeping Ro Fenn alive. The Nikto were also under the employ of Kh'aris Fenn, who was working to overturn his father's leadership and take control of Ryloth. Bok was a hot-headed individual, and his father was continually having to overcome Bok's impulsive behaviors to realize their goals. They returned to Kintan with their captives, in an effort to draw the Jedi Knights searching for Nat Secura and Master Tholme away from Ryloth. On Kintan, Bok's bullish nature nearly got him killed, when he tried to capture Quinlan Vos and Aayla Secura near a river of molten lava. Aayla survived, but Bok was stranded on a stone in the middle of the lava. He was forced over the edge of a lava falls, but managed to avoid the lava and escape. He returned to his father's side when they trapped the Jedi inside Fortress Kh'aris. When Tysr was beheaded in battle by Quinlan Vos, Bok launched an all-out assault on the Jedi. Bok nearly killed Quinlan, but was stopped by the return of Aayla Secura. She cut off his right arm in battle, then forced Bok to the edge of a cliff. Rather than die at the hands of the Jedi, Bok threw himself from the cliff. However, he again escaped death, this time landing hard but away from the lava. Bok fled Kintan and met up with Kh'aris Fenn on Ord Mantell. From that point forward, Bok served the Twi'lek as a bodyguard. Master Tholme later discovered that Bok's continued re-appearance was due to the fact that he had been cloned by Sora Bulq on Saleucami, as the template for the Shadow Army to be used by the Separatists. The true Bok remained on Saleucami as the template for the Shadow Army, as well as the primary bodyguard for Sora Bulq. When the Republic launched its final assault on Saleucami, Bok found himself facing Aayla Secura once again. He vowed to avenge his father's death, and nearly defeated the Twi'lek Jedi when her lightsaber was rendered useless by his cortosis armor. However, Aayla managed to back Bok into a corner with her hand-to-hand fighting skills, before she drew on the Force and shoved him into an energy shield. Unable to prevent his fall, Bok landed against the energy shield and was destroyed instantly by its beams.

When Palpatine ordered the extermination of the Jedi, Bok was powerless to defeat the Sith lord. He was ashamed of his failure, and remained on the station as a disembodied spirit, trapped in the book, unwilling to become one with the Force. When he helped Tash Arranda escape from the space station and Borborygmus Gog, he reconciled his shame and allowed himself to become immersed in the Force.

He feared that Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi were sent to shake him down, when the Jedi arrived at his facility to track down the Mantellian Savrips who had killed Baron Sando of Vena. Orin and his daugther, Nella, explained that the freighter had probably set down on Sundown's land, and Nella agreed to guide them to Ten Mile Plateau. Nella later discovered that her mother had actually been killed by Sundown, who made her death appear to be caused by the savrips in order to gain support for his own activities.

Boll, Sionver
This female Ongree served as the chief scientist in charge of the Galactic Republic's development of the electro-proton bomb, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Doctor Boll was dispatched to oversee the bomb's initial deployment, at the Battle of Malastare. While the bomb performed more or less as expected, it set off a massive seismic reaction that created a huge sinkhole at the point of its detonation. The creation of this sinkhole exposed a long-dormant zillo beast, which emerged from the sinkhole and began to terrorize the Republic's forces. Chancellor Palpatine wanted the creature killed, so that the Dugs would sign a treaty that allowed the Republic to gain access to the starship fuel they produced, but Doctor Boll believed that the creature might be the key to further advances in Republic defenses. When Anakin Skywalker suggested a way to secure the creature while making the Dugs believe it had been killed, Chancellor Palpatine ordered Doctor Boll to learn the secrets of the creature, especially its scales, which were impervious to both blasterfire and the blade of a lightsaber. Doctor Boll and the Jedi were both surprised when Palpatine ordered them to transport the creature to Coruscant, rather than a secure laboratory in the Outer Rim, but she went along with the Chancellor's orders.
On Coruscant, Doctor Boll tried everything possible to keep the creature alive while extracting samples of its scales and other body parts. The scales resisted all attempts to cut into them, and Doctor Boll feared that the only way to remove a scale for processing would be to kill the beast. Palpatine then ordered her to kill the beast, or else he would find another scientist to work with the creature. During their discussion, Doctor Boll noticed that the creature seemed to recognize the Chancellor, and began to wonder if there was a level of sentience in the zillo beast's brain. However, Doctor Boll reluctantly accepted the Chancellor's decree, and ordered the creature to be euthanized. The zillo beast resisted, and eventually broke free. It terrorized Galactic City until Republic forces were able to kill the creature, and Palpatine ordered its body taken to a secure facility where Doctor Boll could continue her investigation by cloning the creature.

Bollux
This BLX general labor droid was designated BLX-5 when it was first produced and activated at the shipyards of Fondor, many years before the Battle of Naboo. Because of a number of coincidences, Bollux never received the mandatory memory wipe all droids required, and his personality continued to grow and change. After serving as a maintenance technician, and later as a regimental commander during the Clone Wars, Bollux was later deemed obsolete and sold off. He was purchased by Klaus "Doc" Vandangante and his daughter, Jessa, who did some further modifications to Bollux and eventually gave him the nickname "Bollux," after all the trouble they had getting him operational. During the early years of the New Order, Han Solo was contracted by Jessa to help locate the people stolen by the Corporate Sector Authority. Bollux was Han's primary cargo, serving as a transport disguise for the small supercomputer, Blue Max. Bollux's central cavity was modified to allow Blue Max to be placed inside Bollux's body, which was protected by a plastron plate. While on the mission, Bollux was forced to portray a gladiator droid known as the Annihilator at the Stars' End facility, in order to appease the gruesome entertainment requirements of Viceprex Hirken. During the escape from Stars' End, Bollux was nearly destroyed when Uul-Rha-Shan hit him with a blaster bolt. In an act of self-preservation, Bollux downloaded his entire memory core into Blue Max before shutting down completely. Although its computer systems were destroyed, Bollux was later repaired by Jessa's team and given a new carcass. Because Bollux had fufilled his mission, Doc and Jessa manumitted the droid, as well as Blue Max. The pair decided to see the galaxy, and asked Han Solo to accept them as ship's helpers. Han overrode his instinctual distrust of automatons, after witnessing the two droids' loyalty and talent, and accepted them as crewmembers. They proved invaluable a number of times, helping to incapacitate Zlarb and his thugs on Lur. They were also able to communicate with the Millennium Falcon, and helped to keep it operating at top condition. When Han and Chewie set off to find the Queen of Ranroon, Bollux again proved his worth, finding a way to destroy the Guardian Corp of war-robots. Following the discovery of the Queen of Ranroon, Blue Max and Bollux left Han Solo and went with Skynx to help the Ruurian finish his studies before becoming a chroma-wing flier.

A regular, galaxy-wide tournament was put together to capitalize on the sport's popularity, held every five years. This tournament coincided with the conflict between the Galactic Alliance and The Confederation, and the HoloNet was flooded with beings who wanted to view the matches. This served to deflect the public's attention from the machinations of Jacen Solo, who managed to have Cal Omas arrested and took his place, along with Admiral Cha Niathal, as the leader of the Galacic Alliance.

Bolook
This Twi'lek Jedi Knight was stationed on the planet Dantooine, during the era of the Great Sith War. Bolook was dispatched to investigate the murder of Calder Nettic, along with a promising student. Although Bolook was in charge of the investigation, he let the apprentice handle the negotations. Eventually, it was discovered that Handon Guld and Rickard Lusoff had conspired to kill Calder, after Handon learned that Calder was having an affair with his wife.

Bolotaur
This species of large, four-legged reptile was native to the planet Kashyyyk. The Wookiees of the planet often tamed bolotaurs and used them as mounts. Despite their size, bolotaurs were considered to have the fastest metabolism of any creature in the galaxy. They were able among the shortest-lived reptiles, although they reproduced at a prodigious rate. Note that this creature is also referred to as a bolataur.
(SWGAL)
Bolpa, Mosko
This Moggonite befriended Qui-Gon Jinn, when the Jedi Master traveled to Arorlia with his Padawan apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Like most members of his race, Mosko Bolpa was conceited and uncaring, continually berating Qui-Gon's every effort to be friends. He later betrayed the Jedi by leading his people in an ambush of the Jedi's camp. Qui-Gon was forced to kill Mosko Bolpa during the attack, and explained to Obi-Wan that if he hadn't killed him, then Mosko would have prevented him from completing his work as a Jedi.

Bolstyngar
This was one of the quietest predators found in the jungles of the planet Kashyyyk, despite the fact that it stood more the four meters in height. Bolstyngars used a pair of auditory clusters to help them locate their prey, but these hypertympanic clusters also gave the bolstyngar the ability to hear virtually every sound the jungle made. Thus, the average bolstyngar was continually bombarded by sound, and it often preyed on those creatures that annoyed them the most.

This primitive weapon was similar to a Wookiee bowcaster in many ways. It uses a crossbow-like structure to launch a thick cylinder into flight at a target. While it had the power of a blaster in terms of stopping an enemy, the bolt-thrower was a single-shot, slow-loading weapon.
(ROE)
Bolvan
This man served as a Captain in the Imperial armed forces, during the years leading up to the Galactic Civil War. Captain Bolvan was serving aboard the Devastator during the period in which Darth Vader was forced to exterminate a quarter of a million Falleen in order to prevent a widespread plague. Bolvan disagreed with Vader's plan to bombard the failed laboratory with turbolaser fire, arguing that a more complete assault would be required. Vader wished the Falleen to remain alive, and ordered Lieutenant Hija to fire on the lab.
Bolvan and Hija were later part of the team that helped Vader capture the Tantive IV over Tatooine. During this mission, they were assigned to fire on any escape pods that tried to blast away from the crippled corvette. When R2-D2 and C-3PO escaped, Bolvan let the escape pod go, since the ship's sensors registered no lifeforms aboard.

(IWST)
B'omarr Order
A sect of monks who inhabited the wastes of Tatooine, the B'omarr Order arrived on Tatooine some 700 years before the Battle of Yavin. They built a huge citadel in the deep desert in order to isolate themselves and concentrate on the physical denial of all senses that was central to their belief system. This citadel was invaded 150 years later by the bandit Alkhara, but the monks simply let him reside there, tolerating his presence only because they knew he would someday falter, and they could retake the citadel. The palace was later inhabited by the minions of Jabba the Hutt, who used the citadel as his base of operations. As with the bandit Alkhara, the B'omarr tolerated Jabba's presense. When Jabba was killed, the B'omarr again retook the palace. Their existence was more whispers and mysticism than concrete fact. One thing that was known about the B'omarr was that, when they reach a certain level of spiritual awareness, they have their brains surgically removed from their bodies and placed in a nutrient suspension. The reason behind this ritual stems from their belief that they no longer need their physical bodies to continue their devotion.
(DS, TJP, SOT)
B'omarr Pipe Organ
This was a specialized organ developed by the B'omarr Monks of the planet Tatooine. The only known example of such an organ was discovered within the walls of the throne room in Jabba's Palace, after the crimelord's death.

Bombaasa, Crev
This vicious Corellian crimelord ran much of the illegal operations in the farther reaches of Kathol Sector from a base on Pembric II. Despite his tendancy toward violence, Bombaasa was nevertheless quite cultured. Sometimes described as "beetle-like" in his appearance, Bombaasa was a short, pudgy man with thin limbs and bulging eyes, who surrounded himself with bodyguards while paying much of the Pembric Security Legion force from his own coffers. During their search for Jorj Car'das, Lando Calrissian and Mara Jade managed to foil an assassination attempt on Bombaasa's life. They refused direct repayment, instead deferring the reward to Talon Kaarde. Kaarde later used it to secure passage to Exocron during his own search for Car'das. After the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant signed their peace treaty, Bombaasa went to work for the Hutts' overseeing operation in the Tynnani and Bothawui systems. Despite his affiliations with the Hutts, Bombaasa shared information about the Yuuzhan Vong's plans for Tynna and Bothawui with Talon Karrde. He claimed to be simply "looking out for number one," but asked Karrde to make sure that the New Republic knew that he was supporting their efforts. When the Yuuzhan Vong finally surrendered to the Galactic Alliance at Coruscant some five years after their invasion began, Bombaasa was one of many members of the galaxy's underworld to retire from criminal life and pursue more legitimate goals. The galaxy needed to be rebuilt, and there were too many honest ways to make a living.

Bombard
This Victory-class Star Destroyer was one of just two vessels that were deployed to eradicate the Eyttyrmin Batiiv Pirates, during the height of the New Order. Under the command of Captain Alistar Dadefra, the Bombard entered the Khuiumin system first, drawing out the first waves of pirate defenders. Captain Dadefra kept the Crusader and her starfighters at the rear of the engagement, until the Imperial forces began to take control of the fighting.
Once the pirates began launching their corvettes on escape trajectories, Captain Dadefra ordered his crews to use their tractor beams to keep the Eyttyrmin Batiiv ships from escaping, while deploying zero-G stormtroopers to board the enemy vessels and eliminate the pirates.
(SWSB, OWS)
Bombard Squadron
This was the term used to decribe any Imperial Navy squadron that consisted of two torpedo spheres, a skirmish line of starships, and a line of pursuit ships. In total, up to 28 ships made up a bombard squadron. These squadronds were assigned to planets that had successfully rebelled against Imperial control, and had a strong military presence. The bombard squadron would then lay siege to the world, overtaking the rebellious inhabitants more quickly than a prolonged ground assault.

Bombarde
This game of chance was developed aboard the luxury gambling ship Cal Ambre. Each game of Bombarde involved shooting a captured asteroid at the large planetoid Rove, using the Cal Ambre's mass drive weapon. The moon was electronically overlayed with a gridwork pattern, and the asteroids were fired at a random location on the grid. Bets were placed on the exact location of the impact on Rove, and odds were historically updated with each round of play.

Bomblet Generator
This was an unusual form of missile launcher, developed by the Feeorin mercenary Nym during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Outwardly, it resembled a huge, double-barreled turbolaser cannon. However, instead of firing coherent bolts of energy, the bomblet generator launched a series of energy bombs which were created shortly before firing. What the weapon lacked in range, it made up for in sheer destructive power. What made the bomblet generator even more destructive was the fact that, as long as the onboard power systems were still functioning, it never ran out of ammunition.

Bomis Korri IV
This Mid Rim world was the center of a group of planets that were once controlled by the Corporate Alliance. During the build-up to the Clone Wars, Bomis Korri IV and its surrounding planets were dominated by droid production facilities that produced a large fraction of the battle droids use by the Separatists during the Clone Wars. The planet was the site of General Oro Dassyne's main fortress, until Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi infiltrated the stronghold and destroyed its shield generator. With the main fortess undefended, the clone troopers accompanying the Jedi had no trouble defeating Dassyne's forces and taking control of Bomis Korri IV for the Republic.

Bomu
This was a Rodian clan known for their willingness to hunt anything - or any being - that crossed the clan's path. They were also known for their seemingly endless supply of soldiers, and the knowledge that "there will always be more Bomu" was both a blessing and a curse to many underworld beings. Many members of the Bomu clan went to work for the Anjiliac kadijic, which employed them to carry out some of the dirty work required by Popara the Hutt and his children, Zonnos and Mika.

This young boy was one of the many Jedi students who were being transported to safety by Hurd Coyle, during the weeks following the end of the Clone Wars and the so-called Jedi Rebellion. Like the other children hidden in the hold, Bon was afraid to trust the clone trooper that Coyle had rescued, since the clones had turned on the Jedi when the command was given to execute Order 66. The children were nearly discovered when an Imperial cruiser intercepted Coyle's ship and demanded to see its cargo holds. The rescued clone came to their rescue, explaining that he had been rescued by Coyle, and that the ship was otherwise empty.

The primary planet in the Bonadan System, in the Corporate Sector, Bonadan had its natural resources systematically drained by the Corporate Sector Authority. Its once-beautiful landscape was scorched and barren from years of strip-mining, pollution, and mismanagement. Bonadan was one of the Authority's most prominent factory worlds, and had ten spaceports to effectively move its resources off-planet. A large Security Police force was stationed there, to keep an eye on the incredibly dense population. Weapons were not allowed on the planet, and newcomers were thoroughly scanned before landing. An Authority Merchant Marine academy was also based there. It was on Bonadan that Shug Ninx recovered a mile-long section of the first Death Star prototype, which he later used in his repair facility on Nar Shaddaa. Bonadan was also the site of an Alderaanian embassy, one of two such embassies recognized by the New Republic. The other was located on Coruscant.

Bonard, S'ree
This was the alias adopted by the assassin known only as X-7, when he infiltrated the Alliance's base on Yavin 4, several months after the Battle of Yavin. According to his backstory, S'ree Bonard had been recruited into the Alliance by Jez Planchet on Malastare. Planchet then asked Bonard to transport a set of stolen blueprints to General Jan Dodonna on Yavin 4, which served to explain his sudden appearance at the rebel base, as well as providing justification for the back-level security codes he used to verify his identity. In reality, Planchet had been captured on Malastare and tortured to death, but not before he divulged a wealth of information about the Alliance. The blueprints were fakes, but the information Planchet provided was detailed enough to convince the security staff at Yavin 4 of Bonard's intentions, and X-7 was allowed to enter the base's hangar.

Bondar
This was one of the many crystals used by the ancient Jedi Knights in the construction of a lightsaber. It was believed to have given the wielder the ability to stun an opponent with the blade, helping to put a quick end to a possibly dangerous fight. This ability was later discovered to have been a result of bondar's low power output, creating a full-length blade that generated only a small burst of energy when it struck an opponent. Because of this, bondar was later relegated to use in training lightsabers. Bondar crystals were mined from an asteroid that once orbited the planet Alderaan.

When Darsha was ordered by the Jedi Council to retrieve Oolth the Fondorian from the Crimson Corridor of Coruscant, Master Bondara questioned the Council's objectives in sending the padawan into such dangerous territory. However, he was forced to let her go. When she returned many hours later, without Oolth and speaking of the Fondorian's death, Master Bondara tried to calm her down and asked her to retrace her steps, so that they could determine it Oolth had survived. Unfortunately, they found no trace of Oolth's body, and ended up in the crossfire of Darth Maul's attempt to execute Lorn Pavan. Hoping to buy Darsha and Lorn time to escape, Master Bondara attacked the Sith lord during a speeder chase. Hoping to catch Maul by surprise, Bondara leaped onto his speeder and attempted to disarm Maul. When that failed, Bondara realized that he had only one option. Bondara used his lightsaber to ignited the power cells of Maul's speeder, causing an explosion which took his life but, unfortunately, not Maul's.

Bonegnawer
A flying predator native to Tatooine, the bonegnawer was a large, colorful bird with a beak structure that could crush stone over time. The beak of a bonegnawer was filled with small teeth that allowed it to grate and crush hard materials. This trait allowed the bonegnawer to dig into the sandstone and root out cliffborer worms and large rodents. Large specimens of bonegnawers were documented as bringing down young banthas as prey, using their powerful beaks and ferocious, diving attacks to cut the tendons of the bantha's legs in order to hobble it. Because of their abilities and their beauty, bonegnawers were symbols of power, courage, and strength to Sandpeople and other natives of the planet. Although both males and females had red feathers in their crests and tails, the male bonegnawer had wing feathers that were purple or blue, while the female's wing feathers were gold or tan. Although these creatures were considered wild animals, fledlging bonegnawers raised from their hatching could be trained as hunting companions.

The Necropolitan reverence for their dead meant that boneworms found plenty of food in the buried bodies found in cemetaries, especially after early Necropolitans tried to exterminate them. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Doctor Evazan discovered that the slime of the boneworm was the missing ingredient to his own reanimation serum, and allowed him to bring recently-dead bodies back to life as zombies. Once a body was injected with the serum and interred in the Necropolis cemetary, the boneworms would begin eating at them. When the serum came into contact with their slime, the body was reanimated when the bones were drained of marrow by the boneworm and backfilled with the serum which was in the body's veins.

Boneyard Rendezvous
This 100-meter-long bulk freighter was owned and operated by Byalfin Dyur and his band of pirates, during the years following the Swarm War. Like many other such vessels, the Boneyard Rendezvous often traveled under false transponder codes to hide its true identity. The ship's ungainly appearance belied the fact that her cargo holds had been extensively modified to hold several black-and-bronze starfighters. These fighters could be launched during an ambush, to harry a targetted vessel and distract it while the crew of the Boneyard Rendezvous made ready to board it.

Boneyard, The
This curiously large pile of bones was located on the planet Iego, just north of the Scatter. Despite the small stature of both the Diathim and the Maelibi, the bones found in the Boneyard were immensely huge, and seemed incongruous when viewed in comparison with other such bonepiles. The skeletons found in the Boneyard actually resonated with the songs of the Maelibi who lived below it, giving the Boneyard an eerie, musical backdrop. It was rumored that an ancient Star Dragon lived in the canyons north of the Boneyard.

Bongo
This was the Gungan name for a small submersible vehicle. The Gungans literally grew several forms of bongo subs from organic material. Different designs were created for traveling beneath the surface of the planet Naboo, out of site of the native human population. Each bongo resembled an ocean creature, as the Gungan designers drew inspiration from squid and skates. The passenger and cargo compartments were sealed from the surrounding water by small, hydrostatic force fields, using the same technology employed to create Gungan cities.
Despite their uniqueness, most bongos employed control systems which were fairly standard. The bongo sub was propelled by a grouping of long, tentacle-like devices - known as electromotive tentacles - which hung behind the bongo and rotated, providing propulsion. Most personal-use bongos were of the tribubble configuration, measuring about fifteen meters in length, including the drive tail, and could reach speeds of eighty-five kilometers per hour. They had seating for three, which included the pilot and two passengers. Up to 600 kilograms of cargo could be stored in two modules, and an escape pod was often included for use in case of emergency.
In order to be able to surface in case of emergency, bongos were equipped with special hydrostatic chambers that were silled with spongelike material. In order to dive, these chambers were filled with heavy oil, which the sponge readily absorbed. These chambers could then be purged of the oil, allowing the bongo to rise.
(E1, IG1, E1A9, IWE1, NEGV, CCS)
Bongo Rally, The
This annual, underwater race was staged by the Gungans. Originating in Lake Umberbool, the Bongo Rally course was a large, water-fillde tube that wound through the waters of Naboo. The two-kilometer course was filled with loops, turns, and plorkscrew tunnels, and the tube in which the races moved was just wide enough for two bongos.
(E1A12)
Bongomania
This was the term used to describe the incredible rise in the popularity of bongo racing on the planet Naboo, in the years which followed the Battle of Naboo. As word spread of the Gungan role in defeating the Trade Federation, beings from across the galaxy became interested in the sport. In many ways, the rise in popularity of bongo races was the precursor to the decline in podracing, although the two sports were similar in many ways.
(GMR4)
Bongomeken Collective
This was the original affiliation of Gungan bongo builders, more than 3,000 years before the Battle of Naboo. Like most Gungan groups at the time, the Collective remained a separate entity from the rest of the Gungan clans, but they refused to choose sides in the struggle. However, after Boss Rogoe used deception and force to destroy Otoh Sancture, the Collective was convinved by Marsune to ally itself with Boss Gallo, in an effort to unite the Gungan people. Over time, this group evolved to form the Otoh Gunga Bongomeken Cooperative.

Pax tried to get Teemto Pagalies to help, but the Boonta Eve Classic was taking place, and the rival racer was forced to focus on his own problems. When Mars Guo was killed in the race, which was eventually won by Anakin Skywalker, Sebulba arranged for Guo's possessions to be sold at auction. Although Teemto acquired Pax, he was unable to afford Trax, who was eventually purchased by Sebulba. Pax continued to work for Teemto, and eventually paid off the price that had been paid for him. When Teemto won the Aleen Classic, he boasted that he was going to buy Ann Gella from Sebulba, but surprised Pax by buying Trax instead. Once he had reunited the brothers, Teemto Pagalies freed them, and they set out to make their own way in the galaxy.

Bonko, Peez
This male Gran was a prisoner at the Oovo IV prison facility during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. Bonko was also the leader of a Gran supremacy group that attempted to forcibly enhance the standing and position of various Gran in the prisons. This didn't sit well with the non-Gran prisoners at Oovo IV, and word of Bonko's violence and hatred of aliens eventually reached the outside galaxy. A group called Freedom for the Incarcerated eventually decided to place a bounty on Bonko's head, in the event that he was ever freed from prison. The group didn't have to wait that long, as Jango Fett caputred Bonko and claimed the bounty during his "rescue" of Bendix Fust.

Bonn, Janus
This Imperial Captain was a native of the planet Corulag, and the son of a wealthy Imperial noble. He attended the best schools, and volunteered for service to the Empire immediately upon graduation. He rose through the ranks until he was named as an assistant to Darth Vader himself. Bonn was assigned by Darth Vader to watch over the remains of the planet Alderaan, in hopes of capturing sympathetic members of the Alliance as part of Operation Yavin Kill Two. When Vader began circulating rumors that the Royal Palace of Alderaan had been preserved in the asteroid field of Alderaan's remains, Bonn was ordered to pay special attention for the presence of Leia Organa. Unfortunately for Vader and Bonn, the primary rumors about the existence of Asteroid 7785 were intercepted before they reached Leia Organa. A team of Alliance agents on the Ithorian herdship Bazaar heard them first and decided to investigate. Bonn's forces managed to corner them, but the Alliance fought off Bonn's troopers and managed to recover the Another Chance before it fell into Imperial hands.

Book of Anger, The
This was the name of the first volume of the Dark Side Compendium, written by Emperor Palpatine during his reign of control over the galaxy. Information in The Book of Anger was derived from several sources, including fallen Jedi, the Tedryn Holocron that was stolen from Ashka Boda, and the collected works of primitive magicians and the ancient Dark Lords. The tome, one of hundreds Palpatine had planned to write, described the ways that a Sith could use and control anger to make him stronger and more aggressive.
Dealing with the use of emotion and willpower to control the Force, much of the volume's writing centered on the merger of political theory with Sith doctrine. By using willpower to concentrate one's anger at the core of their being, an individual would create a living portal through which the power of the Dark Side of the Force could be channeled. Within the words of The Book of Anger were the origins and theories behind the creation of a Force Storm, although very little was written about controlling such a storm.

According to Skakoan legend, the Book of Boolmide was filled with all manner of prophecies and anecdotal information that could be used to assist individuals on their vision quests. In order to read from the book, an individual had to take on exceptional risk, for misinterpreting its words could lead to disaster. Because of this, only those Skakoans who had proven themselves worthy of served on the Power Mounds of the Elders could read from its pages. Just before the end of the Clone Wars, it was said that Wat Tambor was allowed to hear the words of the Book of Boolmide, in order to find a way to recover the Eye of the Albino Cyclops. In order to reach the Eye, the book explained that Tambor had to pass through the Gates of Grontessiant and over the Threshold to the Hidden Realms, a journey that few Skakoans had ever survived.

Book of Law, The
This collection of writings served as the source of the Singing Mountain clan's basic tenets. The book was created by Allya to describe the ways in which the women of Dathomir should use their power. It was believed that most of The Book of Law was based on the Jedi Code, but was altered to account for the situation of the Force witches on Dathomir. Foremost among the laws was the tenet, "Never concede to evil." Over time, other women leaders and even other clans modified the book for their own use, and the original Book of Law was all but forgotten. If a woman ever broke the laws Allya created, she was exiled from her tribe. The woman could be given a chance to rejoin her group if, after three years in the wilderness, she agreed to once again take up the laws in the book.

Faalo had developed a series of practice routines that sharpened a Jedi's control of the Force while wielding a lightsaber. Faalo described a series of cadences in which the student used steel ball bearing set atop candles. The student had to cleave the steel balls in half without melting the candles. The cadences ranged from a single steel ball and candle to hundreds, and required intense concentration.

Books of Massassi
This collection of tablets was recovered from a collapsed underground passage by the Jedi students on Yavin 4, following the Battle of Endor. Streen took the task of deciphering them, and had completed sixteen of them when Luke Skywalker left for Lucazec. The exact author of the text contained on the tablets was unknown, although Master Skywalker believed them to be the work of a single author. Other argued that the tablets were sacred texts that were maintained by the entire race.
The tablets revealed that the Massassi measured themselves against the natural world and found themselves lacking. They had achieved domination of the jungle moon, but saw that they were insignificant when compared to the rest of the galaxy. Thus, they continued to strive for perfection, and fell victim to the Dark Side of the Force. Streen also discovered that the Massassi revered the planet Yavin as a kind of god, beautiful to behold but capable of inspiring great fear.

This Hutt was the son of Groodo the Hutt. Boonda had once applied to the Corulag Academy, but had not been chosen to attend. Groodo had been furious, and attempted to make the Academy pay. However, Groodo was intercepted by Darth Maul before he could destroy the Academy, and the two Hutts fled. After reaching maturity and going into business for himself, Boonda became known as one of the rare individuals that actually ran a legitimate business, based on the planet Corulag. This "failing" led him to be manipulated by Movo Brattakin, who claimed he was dealing in droids who had been deliberately sabotaged with program traps. Brattakin, working through B-9D7, sent a cargo of droids to Boonda. Among the cargo were R2-D2 and C-3PO. B-9D7 also lured Olag Greck and Jace Forno to Boonda's moon, and when all were together, Brattakin's plan was launched. He had delivered two criminals into the hands of an honest Hutt, and Boonda took great pleasure in watching them bargain for their lives. He allowed R2-D2 and C-3PO to escape. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Boonda established some of his most "criminal" activities, running weapons and selling supplies to the Alliance.

A planet known for its organized speeder races, Boonta was also the site of an orbiting scrap yard. For many centuries, the planet was known as Ko Vari. It was later renamed Boonta in honor of Boonta the Hutt. Many sports historians believed that the Boonta Eve Classic podrace originated on this planet, before gaining prominence on Tatooine. Sise Fromm employed Boba Fett to eliminate Thall Joben during a race there, but the attempt was foiled when a bomb - planted by Fromm's gang - was exploded near Fett's speeder. Fett, angry that he had missed a chance to kill Joben, took Fromm and his gang hostage and turned them over to Jabba the Hutt.

(E1, CWWS)
Boonta Eve Classic
This podrace was one of the Outer Rim's premier events, during the final decades of the Old Republic, pitting the best racers on the circuit against each other along a course filled with rocky obstacles. The longest and most popular race on the pro circuit, "The Boonta" was run annually on the Mos Espa podracing course.
As dictated by tradition, the Boonta Eve Classic was preceded by several events. First, race participants lined up their podracers on the starting grid, to give the thousands of fans in attendance a chance to see their favorites introduced for the race. This was followed by a flag ceremony, in which the colors from each team were paraded across the start-finish line by teammates.
The race itself began and ended in Mos Espa Arena, in front of the viewing gallery of Jabba the Hutt. Jabba often marked the start of the race by biting the head of a dwarf nuna and spitting it at a large gong. Podracers shot out of the arena and onto the Starlite Flats, where they jockeyed for position before lining up single-file to move through the Waldo Flats. Upon emerged from the Waldo Flats, racers passed Mushroom Mesa before heading into the Ebe Crater Valley Gorge. The race course wound past some of Tatooine's most famous landmarks, including the Great Pit of Carkoon, Arch Canyon, Jag Crag Gorge, and Beggar's Canyon. After racing through the Canyon Dune Turn and navigating the Bindy Bend, racers flew across the Hutt Flats before entering the arena again.
In order to complete the race, a racer had to make three circuits of the entire course, battling other racers as well as the elements, and the occasional Tusken Raider sniper. Like the Ando Overland, the Boonta Eve Classic was heavily funded by the Desilijic clan of Hutts. 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.

Boorka saw an opportunity to line his coffers with credits, and contacted the Conferedacy of Independent Systems with an offer to turn the Decimator information over to them. His ties to the Separatists earned him a place of the Old Republic's wanted lists during the height of the Clone Wars, but he was unaware that the Jedi Knights already had an individual inside his organization. Echuu Shen-Jon managed to get close enough to Boorka to reveal his presence, before killing the Hutt and ending his connection to the Separtists.

Bootlegger's Slide
This was the name of a specialized obstacle used in swoopchasing. The Slide was an open-air, anti-gravity channel which rendered all riders weightless and without speed limits. The lack of gravity pulled a swoop along at nearly twice its normal speed, and riders were forced to use maneuvering jets in order to navigate the Slide. A safety rail was installed in every Slide channel, allowing riders who were out of control to bump along and regain their bearings without being seriously injured.
(BSS)
Boots Logic
This was a term used by the Jedi Knights to describe one method of investigation. Rather than simply relying on the intelligence information on a planet or city that one had never visited, boots logic involved actually putting one's feet on the ground and personally walking through unfamiliar territory. A Jedi using this technique took advantage of all their senses to gain a clearer picture of the location than what was provided in the data.

Borao
This planet was one of many that were discovered by Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Solos were hoping to provide the planet to the dishomed Ithorians of the galaxy, but their claim was stolen by raiders from the RePlanetHab corporation. Much of the planet was covered with dense forests, through which spires of yorik coral grew in ominous fingers. However, left to its own devices after the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong, Borao's natural underbrush took hold and covered much of the yorik coral with vines and other lianas. When the Solos were forced to turn over the location of a planet they had discovered in the Unknown Regions as a new nesting place for the hives of the Colony that lived on the moons of Qoribu, Leia demanded that Cal Omas repeal RePlanetHab's claim to Borao, so that it could finally be turned over to the Ithorians.

Boras
This species of incredibly large plant was native to the planet Zonama Sekot. Boras could grow to be six hundred meters tall, with diameters well over 10 meters at their base. The foliage of the boras formed an immense canopy over the planet, colored with greens and dotted with gold, blue, purple, and red. Despite their size and shape, most xenobotanists did not classify the boras as a tree. The original colonists, however, could only liken them to trees, and used the Ferroan word boras - which meant tree - to describe them. The balloon-like leaves of the boras were used by the colonists as airsacs, which were used to create floating airships. The lifecycle of the boras was the model after which the creation of Sekotan starships was developed. The ancient boras drop seeds to the ground, which move about to feed on the dead limbs the boras tree drops to the tampasi floor. Then, during periods of intense thunderstorms, the boras channel raw lightning through their branches to the seeds on the ground, filling them with energy and cracking them open in a process known as forging. Once the seeds were opened, special leaves on the boras tree shape the seeds into future boras trees in a process known as annealing. In this way, no two boras trees were alike. The original Magister of the planet trained the boras to move their dense canopies over the organic factories of the Jentari, blocking the creation process from prying eyes. Wild boras were known to be dangerous and territorial, and at least one grove of rogue boras existed on Zonama Sekot.

Boras, Fyg
This Vor served as the New Republic Senator from Vortex, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Lando Calrissian and Talon Karrde approached Senator Boras on Calamari, with an offer of twenty-five tons of relief supplies in exchange for his purchase of YVH-1 combat droids. They recorded the entire conversation for evidence, and later threatened to reveal Boras' acceptance of the bribe if he didn’t support Cal Omas' candidacy for Chief of State.
(DW)
Boras Network
This was the term used to describe the unusual, planet-spanning ability of the boras trees found on Zonama Sekot to communicate with each other almost instantaneously. The native Ferroans were allowed to tap into the network, receiving information from around the planet at almost any time. The network was formed from the deep-growing roots of the boras trees, which linked together to form a world-spanning network.

Bordal
One of two habitable planets in the Taroon System, Bordal was invaded by the Empire just before the Battle of Hoth. Bordal and its sister planet, Kuan, had been locked in a bitter, twenty-year war, although no one remembered the exact cause. The Bordali economy was in ruins, and the planetary government had declared martial law. The Empire, seeing an opportunity, entered the system to bring news of Palpatine's removal of the supposed dead wood of the Old Republic. The Empire blamed the planet's economic crisis on the Old Republic, and swayed the Bordali to join the Empire.

Bordo
This Grave Tusken served as Rogg's second-in-command, after their tribe was exported to the moon of Sulon by the Empire. Bordo hated the fact that he was subordinate to Rogg, and spent most of his time groveling to Rogg. When Kyle Katarn returned to Sulon to recover his father's belonging, he was attacked by Rogg's forces near the homestead. In the confusion of the firefight, Bordo shot Rogg dead, hoping to assuming leadership of the tribe. However, Kyle managed to shoot Bordo through the chest in the fight, killing his instantly.
(RAG)
Bordo, Natt
This man was one of the prison guards known as the Helmet Squad, working at the Oovo IV prison facility during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Bordo was part of a large internal smuggling operation that ensured the inmates had all manner of articles that were otherwise prohibited at many prison facilities. Compounding this fact, Bordo was skimming profits from the smuggling operations, fueling his own illicit desires. This was discovered by several prisoners who were eventually released from Oovo IV, and related to several prominent Hutt crimelords. This led to a bounty being placed on Bordo's head, which Jango Fett claimed during his "rescue" of Bendix Fust.
(BH)
Bordok
A small, horse-shaped creature native to the forest moon of Endor, the bordok was not believed to be indigenous to the moon. The Ewoks domesticated them and used them as pack animals. The front legs of a bordok were much longer than the rear legs, giving the creature a sloped back and powerful neck. There were two distinct subspecies of bordok found on the Endor moon: the rare greater bordok and the smaller, more plentiful lesser bordok. Each species had two horns which grew from their heads, just above the ears, which were used for fighting and for attracting a mate.

Bordon
This man, a native of the planet Ruusan, was one of many individuals who were forced to flee their homes during the Battle of Ruusan. Bordon and his sons, Tallo and Wend, were rescued by the Jedi Knights, and taken aboard the warship Fairwind before the Sith unleashed their thought bomb. Unfortunately, Bordon's wife, who had enlisted as a soldier with the Army of Light, had been killed in the fighting during the Fourth Battle of Ruusan. Bordon later volunteered to assist with recovery operations, since he lacked any connection to the Force, and would be immune to any after-effects of the thought bomb. He was not at all pleased when Johun Othone wanted to rescue any beings they encountered, instead of killing any supporters of the Sith they found. Bordon eventually calmed down, but his sons hated Othone for not allowing them the chance to avenge their mother.
After leaving Othone to deal with a group of mercenaries, Irtanna and Bordon set out to find other survivors. They eventually found a young girl named Rain, and took her aboard the Star-Wave to give her food and water. Bordon tried to cheer the girl up, and offered to help if she needed anything else. He returned briefly to the cockpit, but came back to the cargo hold when he found that Tallo had sought out Rain. He entered the hold just as Rain pulled a blaster from a crate and shot Tallo in the chest. When Bordon gasped at the act, she instinctively shot him, too, catching Bordon just above the belt and killing him instantly. Rain then killed the others and stole the shuttle, making her way to Onderon.

Bore-bang
This explosive device was created by the Old Republic military, and saw heavy used during the Clone Wars. The bore-bang was ostensibly a long, red tube that was filled with high-yield explosives. However, when it was held next to the ground and the end cap was removed, the bore-bang began to burrow its way into the ground. They could be set to go off with a certain time-delay, allowing them to get several feet belowground before exploding. The resulting explosion tore up huge chunks of earth as well as any being or droid on top of it. In addition to any injuries sustained in the initial blast, a being was then pummeled with falling debris.

Borf, Velgar
This customs agent worked for the Empire in the Derilyn System, during the Imperial occupation of Elrood Sector. He was admitted to the Imperial Navy Officers' School mainly because of his family connections, and was one of the most substandard students ever to actually graduate from the school. Despite his indifferent attitude, Borf managed to break up the Red Nalroni smuggling ring, which earned him a promotion. However, his otherwise unspectacular record earned him the posting in Elrood Sector. It was later learned that much of Borf's appearance and mannerisms were exaggerated by Borf in order to keep strangers off-guard. He was actually a skilled mechanic and an excellent customs officer.

Lando Calrissian once sold corusca gems to a broker on this asteroid space station. The asteroid itself was honeycombed with old mining tunnels and caves that were long-ago stripped of an valuable ores. This network was later modified to accommodate a spaceport and a host of other facilities. Over the years, the station collected it fair share of murderers, thieves, and conmen. After the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, an Imperial credit-laundering operation was also esablished here, providing a steady flow of funds into the waning Imperial coffers.

Borhek
This large, six-legged beast resembled a bloated insect. Its body was protected by thick, red plates of armor that could deflect blaster bolts. The average borhek stood two meters in height, and was known for its ferocious temperment. In addition to the thick armor that protected its body, the bordek' carapace was studded with heavy spikes, and a single horn on its head allowed the borhek to impale its prey. The carapace itself was segmented in such a way that the borhek could roll itself into an armored ball if an attacker proved too dangerous. Because of their ability to absorb injuries and keep fighting, borheks were often used in backwater gladiator contests. These borheks were often equipped with remote-controller stimulators, which could be used to inflict small amounts to pain to further anger the creature.

Borjak
This massive Feeorin was left in command of his people on the planet Odryn, after Feln left the planet to join the Jedi Order. Borjak was more 300 years old at the time, but was still younger than Feln. Although he understood his position in Feeorin society, Borjak resented the fact that Feln maintained his position as the Exalted, despite the fact that he rarely set foot on Odryn after joining the Jedi. However, he accepted Feln's commands because we was the Exalted. This changed when Zayne Carrick arrived on Odryn, ostensibly in the company of Celeste Morne. The Feeorins had been expecting Celeste, based on a communication they had received, and made no effort to verify that the person who arrived was actually Morne. Instead, it was Jarael in disguise, who was helping Zayne carry out Celeste's request to transport her body to the Sanctum of the Exalted. Borjak allowed them to carry out their business in the Sanctum of the Exalted, and believed that everything was still normal when "Celeste" left the planet.
He was therefore surprised when he discovered Zayne and Marn Hierogryph sneaking out of the Sanctum of the Exalted, and swiftly captured them. Zayne explained that he was working to expose Feln and the other members of The Covenant, and he questioned Borjak's continued loyalty to the Exalted. Zayne explained Feln and The Covenant were storing Sith artifacts in the Sanctum of the Exalted, and Borjak suddenly realized that the environmental changes on Odryn had been caused by these artifacts. Any other discussion was cut short when Feln himself arrived on the planet. Borjak became more concerned about the situation when Feln communicated with Lucien Draay about Zayne's presence on Odryn, and Draay ordered Feln to destroy the Sanctum of the Exalted. Borjak objected, refusing to destroy the sacred building. Then, when Feln confronted Zayne and drew his lightsaber to decapitate the young man, Borjak cited the Rime Feeorin, which stated that any justice had to be resolved by unarmed combat.
Feln agreed to be bound by the laws of his people, but had no qualms about taking whatever actions were necessary to protect The Covenant. He confronted Zayne in unarmed combat, but when Jarael returned to Odryn to pick up Zayne, Feln feared that any escape might expose The Covenant to the Jedi Order. Thus, he set off the explosives he had placed in the Sanctum, utterly destroying the sacred building. However, the explosion also destroyed the Sith artifacts that had been stored inside, which set off a firestorm of Dark Side energy that wiped out the surrounding Feeorin settlement. Borjak could no longer support Feln's rule as the Exalted, and stabbed Feln with a sharpened bone. Feln tried to invoke the Rime Feeorin and demand unarmed combat, Borjak reminded him that the Rime Feeorin only applied while the Sanctum of the Exalted remained standing. Thus freed of their traditional laws, Borjak and the surviving Feeorin tore Feln apart, ending his reign as Exalted. Borjak assumed the role of Exalted in the wake of Feln's death, and after returning Zayne's lightsaber to him, Borjak and the other Feeorins set about restoring their society without the intervention of the Jedi.

(WS)
Borleias
The fourth planet in the Pyria System, it was the site of a facility owned by Alderaan Biotics prior to the Galactic Civil War. The site was abandoned after the destruction of Alderaan, and was forgotten. Imperial General Evir Derricote discovered the abandoned base and set up a base of his own there, diverting Imperial supplies to strengthen his position on Borleias. He made almost three million credits creating lost Alderaanian foodstuffs and selling them on the black market.
The planet was overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong many years later, shortly before the Second Battle of Coruscant. The alien invaders set up several large dovin basals on the single moon which orbited Borleias, and used them to pull the various planetary defenses to their destruction. Without these defenses, Borleias itself was easy to capture. However, when the neighboring planet of Coruscant fell to the Yuuzhan Vong, Wedge Antilles and a core team of his supporters retreated to Borleias and routed the alien forces there. They had planned to make Borleias a temporary base, and it was eventually abandoned in an effort to throw the Yuuzhan Vong off the trails of several other missions.
Nearly ten years later, Borleias remained somewhat neutral, although it paid lip service to the Galactic Alliance government. When the war between the Alliance and The Confederation broke out, Borleais struggled to remain neutral. Thus, the government was unprepared when Jacen Solo ceded the planet to the Imperial Remnant in exchange for their naval assistance in capturing the planet Fondor.

This was the name of vast shipping conglomerate that was originally founded as the Bornaryn Trading Company, but grew more and more powerful in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. By the time of the Galactic Alliance's crisis with the Colony, the Bornaryn Shipping Empire was controlled by Lady Aryn Dro Thul from her mobile base, the luxurious starship Tradewyn. The Bornaryn Shipping Empire had grown beyond the simple ideals of the Bornaryn Trading Company, having acquired a number of subsidiary businesses and corporations that were producing materiel and supplies for the Galactic Alliance's military. Thus, when the Galactic Alliance became more involved in the war between the Chiss and the Colony, Lady Thul was able to exert a certain amount of influence on the direction taken by the Alliance.

During the years that followed the destruction of Alderaan, the headquarters of Bornaryn Trading were based on the planet Coruscant, since many members of both the Thul and Dro families had established new homes there. During the height of the New Republic, Aryn Dro Thul abandoned this base and established a mobile headquarters aboard the flagship Tradewyn, in an effort to locate Bornan Thul and avoid the bounty hunters that were chasing him.

Borno
This Askajian male was the leader of a group of Askajian refugees who fled the Imperial occupation of their homeworld or the deserts of Tatooine, during the early years of the New Republic. He agreed to help Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, search out a Jawa sandcrawler which they believed to contain Kitster Banai and the Killik Twilight moss-painting. His companions agreed to help out as much as they could, allowing Han and Leia to pose as drivers of dewbacks laden with supplies while Chewbacca and C-3PO were slung beneath their mounts. Borno himself was a veteran of dealing with the Empire, and continually did his best to thwart their efforts. He was also an excellent scout and guide, using all of Tatooine's natural defenses to cover his tracks. During the time he was helping the Solos, Borno was also working with Gwend to transport a group of Askajians from their homeworld after Grand Moff Wilkadon made his annual inspection tour. Leia realized that the successful recovery of the Killik Twilight would not only save the New Republic's agents, but it would also save these Askajians. This made her mission all the more important, especially after all the help Borno and his tribe gave them.

Boro
This was the nickname of one of the clone troopers who were assigned to Torrent Company, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, after the original company was nearly wiped out on Teth. Despite the fact that Boro and his new comrades had not yet seen a lot of combat, they became fast friends, and they were able to bond while on a layover when the Torrent Company was assigned to the shakedown cruise of the refitted Leveler. Boro's training had included some medical courses, which made him the company's primary medic. When the Leveler was diverted to JanFathal to rescue Intelligence agent Hallena Devis, Torrent Company followed Jedi Master Djinn Altis to the planet's surface. They were able to locate Agent Devis and rescue her, but the firefight with Separatist rebels that followed was intense. The troopers began their retreat, but were intercepted by a group of battle droids. Trooper Vere was fatally injured when one battle droid tossed a grenade at his position, and Boro found himself unable to keep his comrade alive. Clone Captain Rex had to force Boro to abandon his position and reach the safety of their extraction shuttle. As they raced for the shuttle, Boro asked Rex about the necessity of the mission, given that Devis was the lover of the Leveler's Captain, Gilad Pellaeon. Rex explained that they had to carry out the mission no matter what, because it was what every clone would want someone else to do for them. Although they were able to rescue Agent Devis, they were forced to return to JanFathal when the Leveler was chased from the Fath System by Separatist warships. Captain Rex assigned Boro and Ince with locating a suitable starship to steal, so that they could rendezvous with the Leveler upon its return.

Borosk
This planet was part of the holdings of the Imperial Remnant, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was a small planet, but was strategic in that it was on the border of the Remnant, and was therefore heavily fortified to repel any attack on the Empire. The asteroid belt that surrounded the planet provided a wealth of natural resources, and several mining operations were established on the larger planetoids.
When the New Republic discovered the build-up at Borosk, it fortified its own nearby systems, in case the Empire used Borosk as the launchpoint for an invasion. This led to further arming of Borosk's defenses, making it better protected than even the Imperial capital of Bastion. In the wake of the Battle of Bastion, it was decided that the surviving Imperial forces should fall back to Borosk - rather than Yaga Minor - so that the Remnant could regroup and better launch a retaliatory strike against the Yuuzhan Vong.
Nearly a century later, Borosk was still an Imperial holding, and was the home base of the 908th Stormtrooper Division.

Borvo
This blue-skinned Hutt was a noted supplier of black-market weaponry and spices during the Old Republic. He maintained a secret base on the planet Naboo, shortly before the Trade Federation blockaded the planet, in order to keep his business dealings out of sight of the Republic. When the Trade Federation blockaded Naboo, Borgo suddenly found that he was cut off from most of his lines of profit. He was left with the small amount of income he normally got from his legitimate businesses. Because, of this, Borgo allied himself with the Naboo, helping them gear up for the Battle of Naboo. As the Clone Wars passed and the Empire to control of the galaxy, Borvo remained hidden on Naboo. He branched out his operations to take advantage of the Galactic Civil War, controlling a number of smuggling and gunrunning operations.

Bos, Cypher
This Nalrithian bounty hunter almost captured Han Solo on Ord Mantell, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Cypher Bos wore a set of highly-polished plate armor, which helped hide his appearance. He also had a series of cybernetic pain inhibitors implanted along his spine, in order to allow him to absorb more punishment. During his hunt for Solo, he killed his own eggmate brother, Phoedris Bos, who was known to be sympathetic to the Alliance. Cypher Bos then posed as Phoedris and nearly captured Han - along with Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker - on Ord Mantell. The Alliance agents were on Ord Mantell to steal a cargo container full of credits being paid to the Empire by a former shipping company owned by ther Organa family. Much to Cypher's surprise, Solo was much faster than he anticipated, shooting and killing Cypher in a brief firefight before escaping. Their escape led them into the sights of the bounty hunter Skorr.

BoShek
BoShek was a noted smuggler who found himself regularly compared to Han Solo, although he never achieved Solo's notoriety. BoShek had actually beaten Solo's 12-parsec Kessel Run, but he did it without a cargo, relegating him to a footnote in the unofficial record books of smugglers. He made the run in the starship Infinity, and was returning the ship to Tatooine when he encountered Imperial Star Destroyers deployed by Darth Vader to locate R2-D2 and C-3PO. BoShek was forced to land the ship in the Dune Sea, and headed toward Mos Eisley to see what was going on. He established a secret outlaw tech lab in the city, in an effort to restore the Infinity to good working condition. In the cantina at Mos Eisley, he discovered Chewbacca, and was gloating to him about his new Kessel Run record when Ben Kenobi approached him about passage to Alderaan. BoShek, without a ship of his own since he was under the employ of the Dim-U monastery on Tatooine, referred Ben to Chewbacca. Meanwhile, BoShek tried to rub in his new record on Han Solo, but he was forced to flee when the local government learned that he had downed the Infinity and wanted to hold him responsible for a breach in security. He used his encounter with Ben Kenobi to pose as a street priest preaching the good side of the Force, and after witnessing the Imperial slaughter of Het Nkik, he decided to join the Alliance. However, the excitement he thought would come with the job eventually dried up, and he decide to leave the rest of the galaxy behind. He ended up on Stoga, hoping to avoid the Galactic Civil War and its entanglements. The peace lasted only a few months, before he agreed to help Rasha Bex escape from Karn and his rebels. Unknown to BoShek, however, was that Rasha was actually an Imperial spy. He managed to get her to the rendezvous point, only to find himself under arrest for supporting the Alliance. He was taken prisoner and hauled away for interrogation.

The four-armed alien race native to the planet Bosph. They had a stocky, humanoid shape, although their semi-circular heads were attached directly to their torso, without a neck. Their heads were dominated by two multi-faceted eyes and a pair of horns. Their hands and feet each had three digits, and their skin color ranged from light brown to dark gray. They were isolationists by nature, with a deep respect for philosophy and religion. Bosph leaders were known to have sensitivity to the Force, and could control it to some degree. Certain Bosphs attained greatness, and were allowed to place their own personal glyphs on objects. The Bosphs maintained their space-faring history by tattooing elaborate starmaps on their skin. After the Empire destroyed much of their homeworld, most Bosphs simply dis-remembered the Empire and its acts, instead blaming the attack on the Yenntar.

Bosph
This Outer Rim planet was razed by Imperial bombardment which was rumored to be a retaliatory strike against rebellious inhabitants. In reality, the strike - which was led by Moff Harsh - was designed to eliminate the Bosphs, some of whom were sensitive to the Force. Many Bosphs believed that the attack was a form of religious purge, and none ever discovered that Emperor Palpatine himself ordered their destruction. The planet itself was covered with grassy plains, broken by the scars of turbolaser fire. Bosph was located in the Bosph Sector of the galaxy.

When the previous owner became enraged at the grafitti, Bora Boru was forced to "defend himself" against the man, killing the trader and taking the ship. Bora Boru completed the marking of the ship's walls with glyphs, creating a vast tapestry of the recent history of the Bosphs as well as indicating that the ship was his property. It was armed with a turret-mounted twin blaster cannon and a turret-mounted ion cannon. The Bosphon Forever could accommodate up to ten passengers and 120 metric tons of cargo.

Boss
This was the nickname of RC-1138, one of the first clone commandos to be decanted from the facilities on Kamino, during the build-up to the Clone Wars. Known to his comrades as simply Boss, RC-1138 was trained by Walon Vau and was the first leader of Delta Squad. Interestingly, RC-1138 managed to acquire Jango Fett's Concord Dawn accent and speech patterns, despite his upbringing on Kamino. Like his fellow squadmates, Boss participated in the search for Ko Sai, after they were assigned to Arligan Zey's task force to locate the Kaminoan scientist. Zey had been given the mission by Chancellor Palpatine himself. The squad discovered that they were not the only group searching for Ko Sai, and that they lagged behind Kal Skirata and several Null-class troopers. Unknown to the members of Delta Squad, their efforts were hampered by Bardan Jusik, who delayed them by forcing them to adopt the roles of public service workers in order to "blend in" and learn what they could from the local populace. It was Boss who first questioned Jusik's truthfulness about the mission. In the days that followed the First Battle of Coruscant, Boss and Delta Squad were part of the Republic's forces sent to liberate the planet Kashyyyk from Separatist control. Under the command of Jedi Master Quinlan Vos, Delta Squad was charged with eliminating a turbolaser emplacements. Although the mission was a success, Sev became separated from the rest of the group, and was surrounded by Separatist forces. Although Scorch wanted to go back after Sev, Boss refused to let him go, preferring to lose just one man instead of two. Scorch vowed never to forgive him for leaving a brother behind. In the weeks that followed the formation of the Galactic Empire, Boss and Scorch were conscripted into the Imperial Army.

This was one of the more common, albeit archaic, names used by Trandoshan hunters.

(GCG)
Bossk
The son of Cradossk, and the leader of the old Bounty Hunters Guild, Bossk was known in his early years as a highly-skilled hunter of Wookiees. This was only natural, since Trandoshans measured their skills in their ability to kill Wookiees. Bossk, however, was able to pair the training of Trandoshan military experts and bounty hunters with his own increased strength and agility, combining them to become one of the greatest Wookiee hunters of his generation. Bossk even had his personal ship, the Hound's Tooth, outfitted with special cages to hold Wookiees, as well as tanning vats to cure their hides. Bossk, however, was never able to make it to the top of the heap in the Bounty Hunters Guild, being stifled by both his father's machinations and the existence of freelance hunter Boba Fett. In nearly ever mission they both took, Fett got the upper hand and beat Bossk to the bounty. Often, Fett would then embarrass the Trandoshan, which made Bossk's lust for revenge even deeper. When Boba Fett decided to join the Guild, Bossk feared that the other hunter was there to destroy the Guild and keep everything for himself. In this belief, Bossk was very close to the truth. However, Cradossk had noticed his son's growing anger, and hoped to kill him off before he did any real damage. Cradossk arranged for Boba Fett, Bossk, and Zuckuss to recover Oph Nar Dinnid from the Shell Hutts, and hired Zuckuss to ensure Bossk's death. However, Zuckuss was something of a double agent, and reported Bossk's death even as the Trandoshan returned to the Guild. Lulled into a sense of security, Cradossk was unprepared when Bossk appeared. Being younger, stronger, and angrier, Bossk made short work of killing and eating old Cradossk.
After the breakup of the Guild, Bossk formed the Guild Reform Committee in opposition to the True Guild. Both factions waged a hidden civil war, further reducing the ranks of bounty hunters. During this time, Bossk took up work with Jabba the Hutt, including an ill-fated attempt to capture Luke Skywalker on the planet Tatooine. Skywalker managed to defeat Bossk and escape, prompting Jabba to send Bossk into the pit that contained the crimelord's rancor. It was not known how Bossk escaped from the creature, but he was able to return to the Guild Reform Committee. A few years later, Bossk decided to join Boba Fett in the search for Trhin Voss'on't. The arrangement was short-lived, however, as both hunters tried to steal the Imperial bonuty from the other. In the end, Bossk was embarrassed again by Fett. Bossk retired for a short time to lick his wounds, but was discovrered in the Corellian System by Hal Horn. After killing the security officer, Bossk was caught and imprisoned by Corran Horn, but was released by Kirtan Loor. Bossk then became part of a team that tried to capture a group of relocated Wookiees on the safeworld of Gandolo IV. He had tracked Chewbacca there, and he assembled a group of bounty hunters to take control of the Wookiees. However, through the intervention of Han Solo, the Wookiees were able to escape while Bossk and his fellow bounty hunters were left stranded on Gandolo IV. Bossk eventually freed himself, and vowed to find Chewbacca again.
His chance came when Vader sought out bounty hunters to capture Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon. He took on two unlikely crewmembers, in the Wookiee Chenlambec and the human, Tinian I'att. The two had posed as bounty hunters, in an attempt to draw Bossk into a trap set by Wookiees. They claimed to have information on a series of Wookiee waystations throughout the galaxy, and that information could be found on one of them that would lead them to Solo and Chewbacca. The ruse worked, and they were able to lure Bossk to Lomabu III. There, in brilliantly-executed series of manipulations, Bossk was captured by Imperial forces and held on the charge of attempting to kill the Wookiees held in a labor camp there. The Imperial Governor, Io Desnand, eventually freed the Trandoshan. Bossk and several other bounty hunters tried to intercept Boba Fett near Gall and capture Solo's frozen form. Bossk tried to waylay Slave I in an asteroid field, but was nearly blown to bits by Fett's marksmanship.
Bossk once again found work with Jabba the Hutt, as part of the swoop gang used to patrol the landing pads where other hunters brought in Jabba's enemies. Bossk was nearly killed by Fett again when the Hunter brought Han Solo to Jabba. It was during this time that Bossk tried to steal the Slave I, but ended up losing it and the Hound's Tooth to Boba Fett. Bossk did managed to take possession of the load-shifter droid which contained the falsified record of the death of Owen and Beru lars, which was created by Kuat of Kuat, but ultimately lost that to Fett as well. Later, Bossk failed to capture Lando Calrissian on Keyorin. He was 58 standard years old at the time. Bossk then became involved with Zekka Thyne, who was released by the New Republic in an effort to gain information on Coruscant. Bossk was badly wounded in a shootout caused by Corran Horn's escape from Thyne on Coruscant, but managed to survive the wound. He was later employed by Big Bunji to harass Han Solo and Roa, during their search for Reck Desh, on the Jubilee Wheel.

Bota
This plant, embodying characteristics of both fungus and mold, was believed to have been native only to the swampworld of Drongar. The average bota plant was distinguished by a fruity body that grew low to the ground. The majority of the plant existed beneath the surface, obtaining moisture and nutrients from the soil. Like several other fungus found on Drongar, bota was highly adaptogenic, changing its chemical makeup to adapt to different environmental situations. This ability also made processed bota the virtually perfect wonder-drug, since it could be used in a variety of treatment without side effects. In humans, it was a potent antibiotic. In Neimoidians, was acted as a narcotic painkiller. To Hutts and many other races, it was a stimulant that was safer and more powerful than glitterstim. The only drawback to the mass-production of bota was that its shelflife, once harvested and freeze-dried, was no more than a few days before it degenerated into a slimy ooze. This problem was eventually overcome by Filba the Hutt, who discovered that bota could be successfully transported for weeks if it was frozen in carbonite.
Because it was the sole source of bota, Drongar became a major battlefield during the Clone Wars, as both the Old Republic and the Separatists fought to control the fields in which it grew. As the battle for control of Drongar raged on, the planet itself continued its own mutagenic evolution. It was discovered that, within just a few months, the bota plant would mutate away from its current state, and be rendered useless as a medicinal drug. News of this mutation reached the Separatists first, and their forces abandoned their tactics and launched an all-out war against the Republic's forces. It was just before the final battle that Jedi Padawan Barriss Offee discovered that bota seemed to heighten her ability to contact the Force, allowing her to tap deeply into its power. The strength of her bota-enhanced contact with the Force reached all the way to Coruscant, where it was felt by Master Yoda. However, with the mutation of the bota, the Jedi Order was unable to investigate its abilities any further.
In the wake of the Battle of Drongar, the Separatists acquired a good quantity of the surviving bota, while a single specimen sent by Barriss Offee to Coruscant was later recovered by Jax Pavan. This specimen was guarded by the droid I-5YQ, and was later entrusted to Laranth Tarak, after Pavan was targetted for capture by Darth Vader. Unfortunately, Vader managed to capture not only Pavan and I-5YQ, but also Tarak, who ultimately revealed that she had the sample. Vader took the sample and injected it into his system, and the Dark Lord immediately fell under its influence. Unable to control the sudden connection to the Cosmic Force, Vader began unleashing random and deadly bursts of Force energy, smashing I-5YQ and killing Dejah Duare as the Force used Vader almost like a living weapon. Upon reflection later on, Jax could only surmise that the bota had deteriorated since its removal from Drongar, and no longer contained the same powers it once had. Note that Star Wars: Coruscant Nights III - Patterns of Force indicates that I-5YQ had been carrying the bota for two decades, although the story took place shortly after the end of the Clone Wars.

The Bothans joined the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Yavin. While the Bothans generally stayed out of the main fighting, there were two instances of Bothan exploits. The first came when they were leaked the information about the plans and data on the construction of the second Death Star near Endor. A number of Bothans assisted a shorthanded Rogue Squadron in recovering the plans from the Suprosa, but their lack of piloting skills got many of them killed. The plans were recovered and brought to Kothlis, where more Bothans were killed in an Imperial raid to recover the plans. Again, the Bothans retained possession of the plans, and eventually turned them over to Mon Mothma and the Alliance. The second came when they helped eliminate Imperial ships near New Cov.
It was later revealed that the Bothans were also involved in bringing down the planetary shields of the planet Caamas, during the early reign of Emperor Palpatine, allowing the Empire to burn the surface of the planet to charred embers. Although the Bothans searched for several years to discover the clans invovled, Imperial records were too well-guarded to provide any clues. Then, some fifteen years after the Battle of Endor, records were discovered at Mount Tantiss that told of the Bothan involvement.
As a people, the Bothans were feline in nature, with retractable claws on their hands. Their fur, which ranged in color from white to dark brown, was often seen to ripple or undulate, depending on the mood of an individual. The movements of the fur were not easily detected by non-Bothans, but those individuals who came to understand it were better able to communicate with their Bothan comrades.
The primary goal of most Bothan individuals is the elevation of their own personal status, and much of their lives were spent in the pursuit of influence and power. Bothans were masters at manipulating situations to their own needs, a trait that eventually led to a deep-seated paranoia among the entire Bothan race.

Bothan Assault Cruiser
This warship was developed by the Bothan military, for use by the New Republic, shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. At 850 meters in length, the Bothan Assault Cruiser was designed to fill the mission profile of a Victory-class Star Destroyer on the front lines of a space battle. It was crewed by 1,240 beings, and could accommodate up to 250 additional troops and gunners. 5,000 metric tons of cargo space was provided for supplies and ordnance, and the ship was armed with twenty turbolasers, twenty-four heavy turbolaser cannons, ten ion cannons, twenty proton torpedo launchers, and four tractor beam projectors. Two angar space was set aside to handle up to four full squadrons of fighters. Its design incorporated some of the most modern technologies.
(HT, SOG)
Bothan Chuka
This Bothan defense tool was developed to be held in the hand. It fit over the fingers and was grasped in a fist, with the primary surface of the chuka facing outward. The Bothan using it could then punch an opponent, and the chuka would discharge a high-power surge of energy when it struck the target. Because the weapon was usually reserved for use among the Bothan elite, during the era of the Great Sith War, any non-noble being caught using a chuka was immediately arrested as a spy and sentenced to execution.

Bothan Clan Sigil
This was the name given to the circular patterns that identified individual Bothan clans. Within the main circular shape, a network of lines and dots that were unique to each clan. The more complex and intertwined these lines became, the more prestigious the clan and its lineage were said to be. When an individual Bothan used their clan sigil to create their own mark, the individual added their unique signet below the circular sigil, further reinforcing the notion that Bothan families were subordinate to the clan.
In general, Bothan clan sigils are written in a single color. However, when displayed on clan artifacts or buildings, the sigil is often depicted with subtle variations in color along each of the lines. The use of color was meant to denote the meaning and history of the sigil and the clan it represented, and was usually reserved for the most important of documents.

Bothan Combat Response Element
This branch of the New Republic Navy was formed by a contingent of Bothans who were worried about the unrest which was sown by Imperial warlords in the years following the Battle of Endor. They were referred to within the New Republic military as a "micro-fleet," consisting of a number of advanced scouts and five capital ships, commanded by Kursk Mal'ia. The ships in the fleet - the Boash'ua, the Resistance, the Victory at Endor, the Hutt's Ambition, and the Ast'ria - were all on active duty at all times, ready to jump into a battle at a moment's notice. The value of the Bothan Combat Response Element was proven during the Battle of Kathol, when they were able to hold off the Imperial forces of Kathol Sector, while a ground team from the FarStar destroyed DarkStryder and Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne.

Bothan Council
This was the primary govnermental body of the Bothan people, and was comprised of 608 registered clans at the height of the Galactic Civil War. Fifty-three other clans were petitioning for membership at the time. The Bothan Council was later known as the Combined Clans, during the era of the New Republic.

Bothan Debris, Incorporated
This Bothan salvage operation was established on the planet Caamas by Kursk Te'tell, in an effort to recover any equipment or materials that might have survived the destruction of the planet's ecosystem. Te'tell's operation was not entirely legitimate, and many believed that he worked more to cover up the Bothans' involvement in the destruction of Caamas than for the good of the planet. In reality, Bothan Debris was a front that covered up Kursk Te'tell's efforts to hide information regarding the bombardment of Caamas. Bothan Debris was based in a huge crater, located about seventy miles south of Refuge City, where the scraps and tatters of Caamasi buildings and cities were dumped during the clean-up effort. Te'tell leased the crater for 50,000 credits a year, paid directly to Refuge City, and a bulk cruiser arrived weekly to pick up the scrap.

Bothan Fade
This was the name of a naval maneuver that was originally executed by a fleet of Bothan warships, although many other races had similar kinds of maneuvers under different names. The basic idea was to bring a token fleet into battle against the enemy, while maintaining the bulk of the fleet - including the larger warships - at a safe distance, preferably hidden behind a moon or other planetary body. As the token fleet began to take damage from enemy fire, it would slowly retreat, ostensibly to place some distance between themselves and the enemy. However, the retreat was carefully executed so that the enemy's ships were drawn into the midst of the hidden portion of the fleet, which could then open fire on the enemy. In this way, the enemy would be badly damaged, while the majority of the fleet remained intact.
(DN1)
Bothan Frigate
This new warship design appeared on Bothan Space shortly after the Battle of Gilatter Eight, during the height of the Corellia-GA War. An agile vessel, the Bothan Frigate represented a change in military doctrine for the Bothans. Instead of building massive capital ships in support of The Confederation, they were building smaller, more agile vessels to harrass enemy fleets. The new frigate had exceptionally heavy armor plating for a ship its size, and was armed with at least twelve turbolasers and twenty cannons. It was believed that the Bothan Frigate was being built at the shipyards near Tallaan.

Bothan Spy Network
This elite group of spies and information brokers was of a caliber slightly better than anything the Empire - or even Black Sun, at its height - could match. Originally founded on the planet Bothawui more than 300 years before the Galactic Civil War, the Bothan Spynet was created to gather information on the rest of the galaxy, in an effort to further the position and stance of the Bothan people. The exact nature of the creation of the Bothan Spynet had been lost over time - it was even theorized that the founders blackmailed the Bothan government to fund the organization - but it took just a few decades for the network of spies and information brokers to infiltrate a large portion of the galaxy. The basic operating procedure of the Bothan Spynet was to gather information and sell it on the "open market" without acting on it. This gave the network's information a certain objectivity, which in turn enhanced its overall credibility. After the creation of the Galactic Empire and the institution of the New Order, the Bothan Spynet became strongly anti-Imperial. The already secretive nature of the network was deepened, as agents went undercover to infiltrate all aspects of the Empire. This proved to be a boon for the Alliance shortly after the Battle of Hoth, when the Bothans discovered the plans to the second Death Star were being transported on the Suprosa. Information related by Luke Skywalker indicated that Emperor Palpatine was fully aware of the Bothan Spynet, and actually planted the information for them to discover. This in no way harmed the reputation of the spy network, which continued to be active during the early years of the New Republic and invasion of the galaxy by the Yuuzhan Vong. However, the leaders of the spynet found themselves unable to initially gather information on the Yuuzhan Vong, since it was virtually impossible to pose as a Yuuzhan Vong to gather information. The spynet turned instead to the Peace Brigade for information on the activities of the alien invaders.

Bothawui
The Bothan homeworld, Bothawui was the third and primary planet in the Both System, and the primary world in the area of the galaxy known as Bothan Space. Sometimes known as Bothawui Proper, it was a cosmopolitan planet that served a major hub for information trafficking. The Bothan spy network had been decsribed as second to none, and much of the information was possesses flows through Bothawui. Note that Specter of the Past indicates that the Bothawui system was located "millions of kilometers from anywhere." It was here that many of the alien races of the New Republic gathered their warships during the Caamas Incident, representing their own opinions and hoping to exact vengeance on the Bothans involved in the destruction of Caamas.
However, cooler heads eventually prevailed, and the impromptu blockade around Bothwaui was lifted. The Bothans remained loyal to the New Republic and, later, the Galactic Alliance, although many Bothans questioned the disturbing events that surrounded the formation of the Galactic Alliance Guard. When the Corellians threatened to secede from the Galactic Alliance, many leaders on Bothawui considered a similar form of independence for their homeworld. This prompted the Galactic Alliance to deploy a small blockade fleet to Bothawui, in an effort to forestall any possible secession.
Unknown to the GA, Tathak K'roylan and a group of military officers worked behind the scenes to ensure their fleet was ready for action. With the help of renegade Admiral Matric Klauskin, K'roylan was able bypass the blockade and join a Commenorian war fleet near Corellia. This combined force overwhelmed the Dodonna and her small fleet, freeing Corellia from its own blockade. In the wake of this military action, both Bothawui and Commenor joined Corellia in claiming their independence from the Galactic Alliance, forming what became known as the Corellian Confederation.

Bo'tous
This bioweapon was developed by the Yuuzahan Vong, and was based on the original coomb spore virus. The bo'tous was a tiny, beetlelike creature that was designed to be carried in a host for its gestation period, then expelled in several breaths. Nom Anor had planned to destroy the Jedi Knights by having the priestess Elan pose as a hostage so that she could gain audience with the Jedi. Elan allowed a colony of the spores to be implanted in her chest. When they reached maturing, she could expel them in four controlled breaths. The bo'tous was much more virulent than the coomb spore, killing both Yuuzhan Vong and humans in mere minutes. The bo'tous grew rapidly in the presence of oxygen. Also, as the spores consumed their victims, they produced offspring in the form of infected mites. These flying mites would then attempt to find a new host, thereby spreading the disease. Unfortunately, the mites only lived for a few seconds before expiring. In the end, Elan was unable to exhale her spores in the presence of the Jedi, and instead was killed herself when she inhaled it. Elan's familiar, Vergere, provided a form of antidote to the original coomb spore to Han Solo before she disappeared. The antidote helped Mara Jade Skywalker return to health.

Bouncer
Native to the planet Ruusan, bouncers were a species of round-bodied, avian creatures that moved through air as if levitating. Their bodies were covered with greenish fur, and their long tails drifted behind them as they moved about. The face of a bouncer was formed of two wide eyes, and lacked any kind of nose or mouth. Innately intelligent, bouncers could not communicate vocally, but spoke to one another through a form of telepathy. This was simply a form of communication, and the bouncers could not actually read each others' minds. They were also attuned to the Force, and often had dreams which revealed images of the future. However, bouncers could also be killed by dreams that were too violent, and many died in this way in the months and weeks leading up to the Battle of Ruusan.
Those who survived were driven slowly mad, as they tried to offer comfort and support to the Jedi but were met only with pain and suffering, and many began attacking soldiers on both sides of the conflict in an insane effort to stop the madness. The Jedi Knights of the Army of Light were forced to kill many bouncers in what they believed was a humane action to put them out of their misery. Many natives of Ruusan believed that the bouncers never really forgot this, and held a grudge against the Jedi for many generations.
In the aftermath of the war between the Jedi and the Sith, the bouncers were all but destroyed. Those bouncers that survived told of a prophecy in which "…a Knight shall come, a battle will be fought, and the prisoners shall go free." Many believed that this prophecy referred to the souls of both the Jedi and the Sith that were killed by the thought bomb unleashed by the Brotherhood of Darkness, in the area that became known as the Valley of the Jedi. This prophecy was proven to be true when Kyle Katarn defeated Jerec and his Dark Jedi in the Valley, setting free the collected spirits. Note that the Power of the Jedi Sourcebook indicates that it was the Ruusanian race of near-humans, not the Bouncers, who maintained the prophecy of the Knight.

Bouncewire
This specialized form of cable was used to enclose the arena in which a shockboxing bout took place. Known as a wedge, the arena was a triangular structure with three equal sides. Three bouncewires were used to surround the wedge, providing a way to keep the combatants within the wedge while providing enough elasticity to prevent injury if a shockboxer struck or was pushed into the bouncewires. Many shockboxers took advantage of the elastic nature of the bouncewires, using the wires to help propel themselves at an opponent. However, this ploy sometimes backfired, because one of the bouncewires was randomly charged with an electrical pulse that shocked a boxer who came into contact with it. This special wire, known as the shockwire, was only active for a short period of time, and delivered a low-voltage jolt to the fighter.

This was the set of rules and credos used by the bounty hunters of the galaxy. Among the foremost of rules was that bounty hunters were not allowed to kill each other during a hunt, unless they were direct rivals. The Creed was eventually adopted by the Bounty Hunters' Guild as one of the most basic tenets of their organization. The exact text of the Bounty Hunters' Creed ran something like this: "No bounty is worth dying for. People don't have bounties, only acquisitions have bounties. Capture by design, kill by necessity. No hunter shall slay another hunter. No hunter shall interfere with another's hunt. In the hunt, one captures or kills, never both. No hunter shall refuse to aid another hunter."
(SHA, DIV, SWI99)
Bounty Hunters' Guild
This affiliation of most of the galaxy's bounty hunters and bounty-hunting organizations was formed during the Old Republic, and was controlled by the Trandoshan Cradossk during the height of the New Order. The Guild was originally established to promote a consistent creed of bounty hunter ethics across a normally lawless group of individuals, while ensuring that each of them earned credits on an equitable scale. Every hunter who joined the Guild was required to abide by the Guild's Bounty Hunters' Creed, and all Guild members shared in the collected bounties. At its height, the Bounty Hunters' Guild was formed from ten major "houses": House Salaktori, House Renliss, House Benelex, House Neuvalis, House Paramexor, House Tresario, the Mantis Syndicate, the Ragnar Syndicate, the Skine Bounty Hunter College, and the Slaver Syndicate. Many of these houses specialized in a specific form of hunt, such as House Renliss' charter to only hunt males or the Slaver Syndicate's focus on large races of non-humans. There were several independent bounty hunters, including the infamous Boba Fett, who remained outside the Guild's membership and opted not to become part of its brotherhood. It was just these kinds of independent operators that Prince Xizor proposed to Emperor Palpatine as a sort of shadow-army. Xizor believed that if the Guild itself could be smashed, then the resulting freelance hunters who survived would be the kind of hardened mercenaries Palpatine could use to ensure the fringes of his government remained in line. After Palpatine approved the plan, Xizor worked with the assembler Kud'ar Mub'at, who convinced Boba Fett to join the Guild and work from within to destroy it. Their plans worked to perfection when Cradossk's ambitious son, Bossk, killed and ate Cradossk and assumed control for himself. This angered many of the elder members of the Guild, who renounced Bossk's plans and formed the True Guild. Bossk himself took many of the Guild's younger members and formed the Guild Reform Committe. The struggle for control by these two parties later became known as the Bounty Hunter Wars. This splitting of the Guild into two rival factions foiled Xizor's plans, however.

Bouri, Omo
This Wol Cabbashite was the Jedi Master who orchestrated the famous Treaty of Trammis, a century before the Battle of Naboo. Master Bouri was known to have been the instructor of Saesee Tiin, and taught his student how to isolate his brain with the Force. This allowed Master Tiin to whisper across space, and screen many minds at one time. With this technique, he could keep secrets or discover them underneath layers of lies. Master Bouri also instilled in the Iktochi a sense of conviction which only increased after Master Bouri passed away some twenty years before the Battle of Geonosis. At Master Bouri's funeral, Master Tiin decided not to say anything to honor his fallen mentor, prompting Mace Windu to request that Tiin take a Padawan. Tiin politely refused, and spent as much time as possible trying to communicate with Master Bouri's spirit.

Boushh
An Ubese bounty hunter, he was known as a level-headed hunter whose hand-to-hand combat skills were as formidable and deadly as the thermal detonators he liked to throw. One of his more unique traits was his obsession with learning as much about his employer as he did about his target. This stemmed from Boushh's distrust of other beings, and he considered it simply insurance that he would be paid in full when the job was done. He worked for Black Sun during the Galactic Civil War, but was caught trying to swindle more credits out of a signed contract. He was captured by Guri and eliminated, but his geared was kept for future use. That future use came when Leia Organa met with Guri, and was brought to Coruscant to meet with Xizor. Leia was given the bounty hunter's clothing as a disguise for getting past the security checkpoints without being recognized as an Alliance leader. When she escaped from Xizor's castle, she brought the gear with her, and later posed as Boushh, with Chewbacca in tow, in order to enter Jabba's palace and rescue Han Solo.

Boutique Droid
This was the generic term used to describe any customized version of a base-model droid that was sold to specific market niches, or as collectors' items. A good example of a boutique droid was the TC-series of protocol droids, which was based on the 3PO-series, but had enhanced communications and interaction systems. In general, boutique droids were sold for a much higher price than their base-level counterparts, as much to make them appear more exclusive as to cover the additional cost of one-off development.
(OWS, NEGD)
Bouyardy
This man served as the Chief Systems Engineer aboard the Aurorient Express, during the years before the ship was destroyed. An obese, balding man, Bouyardy had very little patience with other beings. When Madam Rhoden and Buck set out to murder Clode Rhoden, Bouyadry was unaware that a cargo of Fastlach-class defense droids had been smuggled onboard. He was also unaware that the ship's navigation and sensor systems had been bypassed in order to ensure that the Aurorient Express crashed into the core of Yorn Skot. When all the plots to destroy Rhoden's wealth were revealed, Bouyardy and Waverton decided that they had had enough. They allowed the core bomb hidden inside the ship to explode, as payback for all their troubles.
(TAE)
Bovark
This Nimbanese clan won the right to be a prime data holder for the Bureau of Ships and Services, several centuries before the rise of the New Order. Their training in nimbanese muhndees led them to directly challenge another data-holding family. There was an implied threat of violence in the challenge, which brought down the wrath of the BoSS on the Bovarks and the Nimbanese. For several centuries, no Nimbanese clan was allowed to participate as a prime data holder, and many clans lost great sums of money and power as a result. This situation was later "repaired" by the Krovalis clan.
(GG12)
Bovark, Mingo
This male Nimbanel, a descendent of the Bovark clan that controlled the BoSS during the Galactic Civil War, represented Imperial Emperor Roan Fel at a meeting with Admiral Gar Stazi, some seven years after the Massacre at Ossus. The pair were hosted aboard The Wheel by Pol Temm, and were placed together to discuss a possible treaty that would unite their military forces against Darth Krayt. Admiral Stazi initially balked at the idea, claiming that it was Fel who brought the Sith into the war in the first place. Bovark calmly explained that the Emperor had been unaware of the Sith, including their role in the sabotaging of the Ossus Project.
When Stazi questioned the Emperor's ability to lead, having been duped by his own commanders, Bovark revealed that Fel had retaken Bastion, and controlled a sizable portion of the Imperial war machine. This made Stazi stop and think, since their combined forces would be quite formidable.
The negotiations might have led to a real alliance, had not Morrigan Corde and Jor Torlin sabotaged them. The two secret agents using C.O.L.D. technology to override the weapons systems on the shuttles of both Stazi and Bovark, firing on the other starship and setting off a chain reaction of events. Bovark tried to plead his innocence in the attack, but Stazi would have nothing more to do with him. Antares Draco and Ganner Krieg were forced to intervene to save Bovark, although both were ordered to stand down by Pol Temm and his security team. The Imperials were banished from The Wheel when it was learned that they had smuggled their lightsabers aboard the station, and Bovark was forced to return to Bastion without an alliance.

Bovo Yagen
The third star targetted for detonation by the Starbuster plot. New Republic records recorded one or two habitable planets in the system. It was located near the Corellian Trade Route, but far enough away that a ship traveling to the system would need to learn the route beforehand.
(AS, SC, CTD)
Bovo Yagen
The primary planet in the Bovo Yagen system, this world was named for the former Imperial Captain, Bovo Yagen. Yagen had defected from Imperial service on Coruscant. The native Bovorians were at first wary of the new visitors, but in time came to appreciate his skills in diplomacy and trade. The average day on the planet lasted 28 standard hours, and its year lasted 386 local days. Bovo Yagen had a single moon.
(SC, CTD)
Bovorian
This oddly humanoid race was native to the planet Bovo Yagen. They were a tribal species of stone-age technology when Imperial Captain Bovo Yagen fled to the planet, but soon came to travel the spacelanes. The Bovorian natives were so glad to have him further their development that they named all the planets in their system after members of his family. Bovorians descended from flying mammals, and retained vestigial webs of skin between their arms as reminders of their avian ancestors. The average Bovorian was covered with white hair, and their forms were slightly thinner and longer than a normal human form. Their faces were narrow and angular, with jutting chins and long sideburns. Their ears resemble leathery wings, and can be extended for better hearing. Bovorians can see into the infrared spectrum as well as the visible spectrum, and they use these abilities to actually "read" the emotions of other beings. This allowed them to deal with other species in a very patient and friendly way. Among themselves, Bovorians speak in a language of high-pitched trills and whistles which had been compared to the computer-based speech of the R2-series astromech droid.

Bow, Peppi
This pink-skinned Gungan was a shaak herder on the planet Naboo, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Peppi Bow reported to Boss Nass that the shaaks she was herding were becoming more and more agitated, just like they were during the Battle of Naboo. It was this information that led to the discovery of a hidden Separatist base on Naboo, which prompted Queen Neeyutnee to ask Senator Padme' Amidala to intervene on Naboo's behalf with the Galactic Senate. Peppi Bow returned to her shaaks, only to find that one of the rivers from which the creatures drank had been somehow poisoned. She was then surprised when Senator Amidala and Jar Jar Binks arrived at the river, having learned that Separatist battles had been found with mud from nearby swamps on their metal shells. Peppi then offered to help Senator Amidala locate the perlote trees that marked the swamps' location, but the Senator asked her to remain behind in case there was any danger. Peppi Bow was later introduced to Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, who had traveled to Naboo in response to Senator Amidala's request for aid. She explained that she had seen the Senator and Jar Jar Binks near the eastern swamps, and agreed to lead Skywalker and his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, to their location. When fighting broke out between the Jedi and the Separatists, Peppi Bow wanted to assist and defend her homeworld, but was forced to accept an order to find safety and wait for the Jedi to return. Thus, she was surprised when the ground beneath her feet opened up, and Doctor Nuvo Vindi emerged, trying to escape from the Jedi. Acting quickly, Peppi Bow used her electropole to knock Vindi to the ground, preventing the Doctor from escaping.

Bowcaster
This was the traditional Wookiee's crossbow-like weapon. It was not a laser weapon, like a blaster or blast rifle. Instead, it was a projectile weapon that used a unique combination of magnetic acceleration and polarizers to launch a projectile at a target. Because the bowcaster was a single-fire weapon that required great accuracy to use, Wookiees were trained to be patient hunters who made the most of every shot. The primary ammunition of the bowcaster was an explosive quarrel, which was a small packet of energy that exploded on contact. More traditional darts and solid bolts could also be fired. These weapons were unique to the Wookiees, and were hand-built on Kashyyyk by the Wookiees who used them. The bowstring of a bowcaster was often made from metal-fiber cables, but the kthysh vine was often used as an emergency replacement.

Bowl, The
This symbol of the Cosmic Balance religion indicated a follower who lived in poverty during their life. The Bowl stood in opposition to - or in balance with - The Feather. The choice of which members of each generation held the Bowl was often made by parents, with the help of the Zanazi, and was governed by the Rule of Feather and Bowl. One child from each family pair - the so-called Child of the Bowl - was chosen to receive the Bowl, and was forced to leave Bakuran society and live in a communal Simple Home for the rest of their lives. However, as demanded by the Cosmic Balance, each Child of the Bowl would get to spend their afterlife living in relative wealth in order to maintain the balance of the universe.

Boz held a position of relative power in the Koodan's organization, and was constantly ordering the rest of Ry-Kooda's employees around. It was Boz who delivered the news that Bar-Kooda had been killed by the Hutts Gorga and Orko to Ry-Kooda. The small lizard accompanied Ry-Kooda to Skeebo, where he believed the Koodan was killed by Boba Fett. However, Ry-Kooda emerged unscathed, and the two set off for Orkana, on Tatooine. There, Ry-Kooda was finally killed by Boba Fett, leaving Boz without a master. The little reptiloid tried to stand up to Fett, who promptly gave him a swift kick in the rear end. Boz's big mouth continued to run, swearing that he would someday get his hands on the bounty hunter.

Boz Pity
This verdant planet was one of many worlds that saw intense battles as part of the Outer Rim Sieges, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. It was known to most beings as the Graveyard World, as most of its surface was covered with the graves of a long-lost civilization. The size of the memorial statues, as well as the size of the skeletons found just below the surface, was incredible, leading many xenoarchaeologists to surmise that the planet was once the home to a race of giants.
At the height of the Clone Wars, the planet served as a staging area for the naval fleet of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Following the infiltration of the planet by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Master Quinlan Vos was dispatched to lead the forces of the Old Republic into battle on Boz Pity.
Nearly twenty years later, Boz Pity was one of several planets that the Alliance considered as the site for their main base, before establishing the Massassi Base on the fourth moon of Yavin.

Bpfassh
A twin planet orbiting a star with the same name, Bpfassh was located in the Sluis sector. It was at one time the site of a Dark Jedi uprising during the last century of the Old Republic, and the natives had been distrustful of the Jedi ever since, despite the enduring presence of a Jedi traning facility on the planet. This distrust was obvious during the Clone Wars, when the planet's inhabitants chose to remain neutral during the fighting. The situation was made even more complicated when the Jedi at the Bpfassh academy joined the dissident movement started by Sora Bulq, and a large portion of the Jedi turned to the Dark Side of the Force. They began killing any beings who opposed them, including a unit of the Freedom's Sons organization, before Jedi Master Yoda led a delegation of Jedi Knights to put an end to their predations. Despite this fact, the Bpfasshi eventually joined the Alliance and the New Republic. Following the death of Emperor Palpatine at Endor, Bpfassh was the site of Grand Admiral Thrawn's first major strike against the New Republic. It was also the site of a Noghri attack on Princess Leia. Its day was variable in length, due to the unique gravitational forces the twin pieces exert on each other. The twin planets also have a large number of moons.
(HTTE, DFR, HTSB, JT, NECH)
Bpfassh Uprising
This was the term used by Jedi historians to describe the secession of the Jedi academy on Bpfassh, during the height of the Clone Wars. The leaders of the facility on Bpfassh decided to join Sora Bulq's dissident movement, and soon fell under the sway of the Dark Side of the Force. They began to make attacks against any who would oppose them, including a unit of the Freedom's Sons organization. This forced the Jedi Order to dispatch Master Yoda and a group of Jedi to put an end to the uprising. The events pushed the Bpfasshi people to a deeper level of distrust for the Jedi.

Brachian Beastlord
This was the A'Mar name for the "mightiest of all gundarks" found on the pastoral moon of Lamus. Many A'Mar considered the Beastlord something of a legend, as it had never been seen or captured. This made it the perfect quarry for the coming-of-age ritual known as the Beastlord's Hunt, in which young men and women were required to search out the Beastlord and return with its head. The ritual wasn't so much about locating the Beastlord as it was about understanding what it meant to be an adult, and learning how ot trust one another. During the Beastlord's Hunt that occurred during the Galactic Civil War, a group of adventurers discovered that the Beastlord was, in fact, real. It seemed to be a sub-species of gundark of immense size, and was armed with fangs that dripped a potent poison. This poison was generally harmless if dripped on the skin, but if it was injected into the bloodstream, the result was often fatal. During the Beastlord's Hunt, the creature had suffered several injuries, and tried to drink from the Wellspring to heal itself. The adventurers, who had sworn to protect Olianna during The Vigil, were forced to defeat the Beastlord in combat in order to ensure the success of The Vigil.

Her crew had discovered that the natives of the planet Italbos had been all but enslaved by a group of prospectors who had acquired the rights to the planet at an auction on Metellos 3. Captain Brackel demanded some form of inquiry, and found an ally in Professor Gryphomarn, who was actually Marn Hierogryph. Their plan was to steal any credits they obtained by auctioning off the rights to Italbos, but they were quickly discovered by Nunk Plaarvin, who ordered his Chev security staff to capture them.

Braden
This mercenary and bounty hunter was one of the many who were hired by the Old Republic to help protect its member worlds, during the final years of the Great Galactic War. Braden was among the forces that were dispatched to Dantooine, although he was only on the planet a short time before the Republic entered into cease-fire negotiations with the Sith. Braden's contract was terminated, but he refused to leave immediately. Instead, Braden continued the hunt for the Wookiee known as Dalborra, who had sold his services to the Sith army. Commander Gin Lesl refused to accept this, and bombed his location from orbit. Unfortunately, this alerted Dalborra to his location, and the Wookiee was able to capture him and bring him to the Sith base on Dantooine. Braden was then imprisoned aboard the prison ship Envoy, which was transporting Jedi Master Dar'nala, and he was both amazed and shocked that she endured being tortured, just to preserve the truth. When she used the last of her strength to set him free, Braden agreed to take her message back to Satele Shan and Jedi Master Zym on Coruscant. His first stop was at the Star Cluster Casino on Nar Shaddaa, where Braden hoped to call in a favor from Nok. Nok would only agree to help if Braden carried out a job in exchange, taking on a job to bomb the Senate Rotunda on Coruscant. Knowing that he needed to get a message to Jedi Master Zym on Coruscant, Braden saw an opportunity to carry out both missions, and to settle an old score. He sent two separate messages to arrange the meeting with Zym: one to Zym that appeared to come from Commander Lesl, and another to Lesl that appeared to come from Zym. At the appointed rendezvous place among the ruins of the Jedi Temple, he ambushed the pair, shooting Commander Lesl point-blank in the chest and killing her instantly. When Zym tried to take Braden under arrest, the Jedi Master's Force push caused a rocket launcher on Braden's gauntlet to fire, taking out the Jedi Master in the resulting blast. Apparently relieved of his obligation to Dar'nala, Braden set out to complete his mission for Nok by returning to Nar Shaadaa with a set of schematics he had obtained from Commander Lesl. Nok then requested that he take the schematics to Dantooine, although Braden was unaware that they were to be delivered to the Sith Lord known as Angral. Before leaving, Braden stopped at a cantina for a drink, and was apprehended by Jedi Master Orgus Din. Din quickly disarmed him, and Braden used his knowledge of the events surrounding the attack on the Envoy to gain a measure of freedom. Braden then made his way to Dantooine, where he was finally able to complete the mission to hunt down Dalborra. The Wookiee, who had fled an ancient crystal cave after killed Master Dar'nala, stopped in the middle of a field, which gave Braden enough time to target the Wookiee and shoot him dead.

Brady
This Imperial Admiral was placed in charge of cleaning up the abandoned and vacant houses and structures on several key worlds, including Naboo and Corellia, as part of a galaxy-wide plan to improve the quality of life for the human populations on those planets. A secondary motive for the mission was to eliminate the ramshackle buildings in which rebels often met to plan their militant, anti-Imperial operations. Sponsored by Emperor Palpatine himself, Admiral Brady and his men spent several years trying to stay on top of their task, but the rate at which people were losing their jobs and the homes kept increasing.

Braha'tok
This Braha'tok-class gunship was one of two such vessels supplied to the Alliance by the Dornean Navy, just prior to the Battle of Endor. Commanded by Kiles L'toth, the Braha'tok was the first ship of its kind seen beyond the Dornean Navy, and served as an escort for the Alliance's rescue operations during the fighting near the second Death Star. Commander L'toth kept the ship in place to protect smaller rescue vessels, and took a pounding from the Carrack-class cruiser Eminence. After its sister ship, the Torktarak, finally destroyed the Eminence, the Braha'tok was deemed too badly damaged to be salvaged, and was ordered to be scuttled by Admiral Ackbar. The Dorneans protested, and the ship was returned to Dornea, where it became the centerpiece of a military museum.

Braha'tok-class Gunship
Developed and manufactured by the Braha'ket Fleetworks Conglomerate, the Braha'tok-class gunship measured ninety meters in length, and was armed with eight double turbolaser cannons and eight concussion missile launchers. The ship was designed as a pure space-combat vessel, lacking hangar space for carrying support vehicles and having just enough space for its crew of seventy-five. The Braha'tok-class gunship was produced during the height of the New Order, although very few beings saw one prior to the Battle of Endor.

Brain of Galactic City
This was a somewhat scornful nickname used by Kal Skirata to describe Walon Vau, after Vau talked to Arligan Zey and explained that he wanted to extract Jilka Zan Zentis from a Republic prison facility.

Brain Worm
This slimy, parasitic worm was native to the planet Geonosis, where it hatched from a spherical egg. Each brain worm was about a half-meter in length, and appeared to be little more than a yellowish, eyeless snake. However, the brain worm got its name from the fact that, once it hatched from its egg, it sought out the nearest living creature and trying to burrow its way into the creature's brain. Entering the brain through the mouth or nose of its new host, the brain worm attached itself to the control centers, and could affect the movements and actions of its host. Because brain worms seemed to have a hive-mind connection, groups of brain worms could work together to control a group of individuals. In this way, unhatched eggs could be carried by infected beings into new areas, allowing the brain worm to acquire more prey. Because these creatures lived inside the skulls of their hosts, brain worms preferred warm environments. Any time an infected being moved into a cold environment, the brain worm inside their skull experienced a shutdown of its own bodily functions. During periods of intense cold, the brain worm would eventually die, falling from its resting place in the skull and freeing its host from its control. Rumors of Geonosian Queens controlling their male drones and soldiers were based on the true story of Queen Karina the Great using brain worms to control the male Geonosians of her hive.

This disease broke out in the Manarai Heights district of Coruscant's Galactic City, during the year leading up to the Clone Wars. It affected Anomids and Wol Cabbashites most, although it was eventually contained. The brainworm rot was believed to have been carried to Coruscant by a Neimoidian, for that species was known to be resistant to the disease. Essentially an airborne virus, Brainworm Rot Type A attacked those species with high levels of dialogen in their bloodstream. Symptoms include nausea and dementia, and the disease could be fatal if not treated with clyrossa-themin.

Brakiss
A former student at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, Brakiss was fairly gifted with the Force, although he had no intention of becoming a Jedi. Brakiss was distinguishable by his smooth skin, blond hair, and his uncanny perfection. As a child, Brakiss was stolen from his family by the Imperial forces that occupied his homeworld of Msst, after they recognized his potential for using the Force. He was reconditioned and was later trained as a spy durnig the early years of the New Republic, and was sent to Yavin 4 to determine the extend of the threat posed by the renewal of the Jedi Knights under Luke Sywalker. When Luke sent Brakiss on an illusionary quest, Brakiss could not reconcile the Light and Dark Sides of the Force, represented by Luke's Academy and the Empire.
He fled Yavin 4, and went into hiding until he was discovered by Dolph, another of the failed students of Skywalker's praxeum. Dolph had renamed himself Kuellar, and was developing his own scheme to take control of the galaxy. He set up Brakiss on Telti, overseeing an automated droid construction facility. Brakiss' droids were implanted with detonators that could be set off via a remote control help by Dolph/Kuellar. Dolph also used Brakiss as a way to lure Luke to Almania, where he planned to used Skywalker as bait. Brakiss fled back to Telti, where he hid among his droids. In the meantime, Brakiss' mother encountered Luke on Msst, and explained that Brakiss was waiting to kill him on Telti.
The two battled on the desert moon, and Brakiss nearly turned back to the Light Side. He failed, and returned to the droids. The secluded life among the droids was shattered when Cole Fardreamer discovered the link between the detonation in the Senate Assembly Chamber on Coruscant and the rigged droids. He exposed Brakiss' part in the plot, and Brakiss fled once again. He later set up the Shadow Academy in the Core Systems. He did so out of his deep belief that the Jedi were needed to help preserve the order of the Empire, not the Republic. Brakiss looked forward to the day when the so-called Second Imperium would overthrow the New Republic, and when his Imperial Jedi were able to defeat Luke Skywalker's Jedi.
When a reborn Emperor Palpatine began controlling the Second Imperium, Brakiss gladly bowed to his true master’s rule. However, the Emperor’s solitary nature and lack of respect for Brakiss’ accomplishments disillusioned him. He became frustrated with the Emperor when he arrived at the Shadow Academy, shortly before the attack on Kashyyyk. After the deaths of Vonnda and Ra and Garowyn in the Kashyyyk jungles, Brakiss declared the mission a success because of the computer components they had stolen. He felt that the loss of the two Nightsisters was an accepted loss. In the wake of the raid on Kashyyyk, the Shadow Academy began gearing up for an attack on Yavin 4. Spurred on by Palpatine’s commands, Brakiss and Tamith Kai invaded the Jedi Academy’s defenses and nearly defeated Luke’s students.
However, several setbacks suffered by Tamith Kai and Brakiss’ Dark Jedi turned the battle in favor of the Jedi, and Brakiss appealed to Palaptine for direction. He discovered, though, that there was no Palpatine. The appearance of the Emperor was being perpetrated by four former Imperial Royal Guards. The Dark Side of the Force flooded Brakiss, and he quickly dispatched three of the four guards. The fourth escaped the Shadow Academy, but not before setting off the station’s self-destruct systems. Brakiss was unable to escape from the doomed station, and died in the explosion.

Bralor, Parja
This young Mandalorian woman was Rav Bralor's niece. Distinguished by her scarlet armor and her chestnut-colored hair, Parja worked as a mechanic on Mandalore, during the height of the Clone Wars, and made a fair living at it. When Kal Skirata moved into his residence in Kyrimorut, Parja stopped by to see if she could help with the recovery of the clone commando known as Fi. She found him worthy of becoming a Mandalorian, and stayed to help with his care. This caused her to be present when Etain Tur-Mukan gave birth to her son, who was given the name Venku Skirata to hide his true identity. Parja came to like Fi, and spent more and more time at Skirata's residence, helping Fi recover. She took long walks with him, and did whatever she could to help the injured clone return to something resembling his normal self. Parja found herself more and more attracted to Fi, and refused to see him as a cripple and a former clone trooper who would never fully regain his former abilities. She often had to use forceful words to drive home the point that Fi was not going to be impaired for the rest of his life, and he often referred to her tirades as "quiet menance" when he refused to listen to her. Over time, Fi got better and better, and their relationship deepened. This meant that, when Bardan Jusik agreed to let Fi accompany him back to Coruscant to meet up with Skirata and his comrades, Parja was forced to admit that he was physically ready to make the trip. However, she told Fi that she would worry about him every minute of the day. Fi then surprised her by asking Parja to marry him, and together they recited the words of the traditional Mandalorian wedding contract.

Bralor, Rav
This Mandalorian woman was one of the many military instructors dispatched to Kamino to train the clone commandos that were created by the Kaminoans, during the build-up to the Clone Wars. Like her peers in the Cuy'val Dar, Bralor was a Mandalorian mercenary who was chosen for the heritage she shared with Jango Fett. Despite her rugged good looks, Rav Bralor was considered twice the man that most men were, which earned her the respect of her peers both on and off the battlefield. She remained loyal to her fellow soldiers, and was instrumental in helping her old friend, Kal Skirata, acquire a piece of property near Kyrimorut, on Mandalore, that could serve as his home when he retired. She was surprised when Kal contacted her and asked if she could get the property ready for living shortly after the battles on Qiilura and Gaftikar, but nevertheless took care of readying the property. Her surprise turned to amazement when Kal arrived on Mandalore with Ko Sai in tow, but this was mixed with concern when she learned that clone commando Fi was in a coma and not expected to live. Rav was pleasantly surprised when her niece, Parja Bralor, took a liking to Fi, and nursed him back to health. Rav claimed that Parja was too much of a mechanic, and that Fi was just like any other restoration project. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant and the so-called Jedi Rebellion, Rav Bralor and the other Mandalorians readied their settlement for the influx of clones who were defecting from the Grand Army of the Republic. She was both surprised and relieved when the clone commandos of Yayax Squad were among the clones who defected to Mandalore, having trained them on Kamino years before.

This was the nickname given to an artificially-grown ooglith masquer, created by Baljos Arnjak in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant, to allow a New Republic agent to resemble a Yuuzhan Vong warrior. It was named Brand because the markings on the face resembled a branding. Brands and several other home-grown ooglith masquers were provided to Luke Skywalker's team, which was going to infiltrate Coruscant. These disguises were later used during the missions to Toong'L and Caluula, where agents of the Galactic Alliance tried to destroy the yammosks which had been installed on those worlds.

During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Brand was asked to sway Senator Viqi Shesh's position on the use of Centerpoint Station as a potential weapon to use against the alien invaders. Later, Brand was given command of the Yald, in preparation for the defense of Corellia.

Brand, Empatojayos
A one-time Jedi Knight, Empatojayos was hunted down as part of Palpatine's Jedi purge. He was nearly killed by Darth Vader, and was left for dead. He was rescued by the Ganathans, and fitted with a cyborg suit. The only organic parts of his body still functioning were his chest and head; his limbs could not be saved. His cyborg body was therefore equipped with repulsorlifts for mobility. The suit was also equipped with impressive life-support capabilities, and can withstand extremes of temperature and the effects of hard vacuum for an entire year. The Ganathans, seeing that Empatojayos' knowledge of the Force gave him certain supernatural abilities, elected him to be their king, a position he accepted.
He was still the king when Han Solo and Princess Leia first discover the Ganath System, after fleeing Boba Fett and Nar Shaddaa a second time. Recognizing the need for the Jedi to return to the galaxy, Brand leaves Ganath with Luke Skywalker. Brand and the Jedi spent the next few months trying to stay one step ahead of the Emperor, who was trying to steal Anakin Solo for a new body. When they cornered the Emperor on Onderon, it was Brand who intervened wen Palpatine made his move. Brand grabbed Anakin and shielded him in the Light Side of the Force, while at the same time allowing the Emperor's spirit to enter his body. Brand returned Anakin to Leia, then was quickly consumed by the Dark Side energies flowing through Palpatine's spirit. Both Brand and the Emperor died on Onderon, bringing an end to Palpatine's attempts to rule the galaxy.

An Imperial Navy officer, Brandei was born on Mantooine, and grew up surrounded by xenophobic Outer Rim humans. When he tried to join the Academy, prejudice for the Rim's alien inhabitants stood in his way. He struggled through it all, and eventually got noticed. After graduation, he served as the technical services liaison for Imperial Fleet Support aboard the Executor during the Battle of Hoth. He was responsible for keeping the warship's twelve TIE squadrons serviced and combat-ready. Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, Brandei was transferred to the Judicator, where he served faithfully until he was eventually promoted to Captain of the Judicator, as part of Grand Admiral Thrawn's fleet. He had agreed to provide a reference for Alex Winger, the adopted daughter of his old friend, Tork Winger, in an attempt to get her enrolled at the Raithal Academy. In the years that followed, Brandei found that his faith in Alex Winger had been misplaced, after she joined the New Republic.

Brandl, Adalric Cessius
This famous actor showed a strong aptitude for the Force. Brandl had the handsome, chiseled features of a holovid star, although time eventually took its toll. When he was discovered by Emperor Palpatine, Brandl readily accepted his tuelage and became one of Palpatine's Imperial Inquisitors and a Dark Jedi. In this capacity, Brandl killed many Jedi and other individuals at the Emperor's order. A native of Trulalis, he fathered a child - Jaalib - who also was Force-sensitive and followed in his father's acting footsteps. Brandl ran into trouble of Najiba while fleeing his position as Dark Jedi, killing the Twi'leki Arruna when he became angry at her lover, Lathaam. He was trying to get back to Trulalis, but was stuck on Najiba as it passed through the nearby asteroid field. He was transported off the world by Thaddeus Ross, after trying to cut off his own hands with his lightsaber for causing Arruna's death. When he returned to Kovit, he sought out his old teacher, Otias Atori, in an effort to return to the light side. He fled Trulalis with Ross when they were attacked by Menges, and was eventually captured by Captain Grendahl and returned to High Inquisitor Tremayne. He allowed himself to be taken, in order to protect Jaalib. It was believed that Adalric was executed, but he eventually escaped and returned to Trulalis to be with Jaalib. There, he spent five years teaching his son everything he knew about acting. When Fable Astin sought out Jaalib, Adalric felt the deep connection she had to the Force, as well as the inner struggle she felt at the loss of her battle with Vialco. He gave her the opportunity to train with him, however, briefly, so that she would be better able to face Vialco in the future. Adalric was a stern master, though, and was harder on Fable than he had been on himself, hoping that her success would help return him to favor in the Emperor's eyes. As she progressed, Adalric made a short trip to Byss, in hopes of regaining his position. Palpatine agreed, but demanded that Adalric bring a young Jedi for his own uses. Fable fit the bill, and Adalric sent Jaalib to Iscera while summoning Vialco to Trulalis. Adalric tricked Fable into killed Vialco outright, then imprisoned her. Jaalib, having discovered his father's return to the Dark Side, managed to rescue Fable and return her to Deke Holman and the Alliance. Adalric was once again thwarted.
(SWJ4, TFE, SWJ8)
Brandl, Jaalib
The son of the Dark Jedi Adalric Brandl, Jaalib was unaware of his father's dark secret. Instead, he followed in the acting tradition of Adalric, becoming a famous actor on the stages of his homeworld, Trulalis. Jaalib had seen holovids of his father, presented to the youth by Otias Atori, Adalric's former teacher. Jaalib hoped to leave Trulalis and become as famous as his father. When Adalric returned to Trulalis to seek Otias' help, Jaalib confronted his father and blamed him for all the troubles he encountered. Jaalib railed at him, blaming Adalric for the Imperial attack which killed his mother - an attack that was aimed at recovering Adalric himself. Adalric realized that he had caused considerable damage to his son, and allowed himself to be captured. Adalric was able to return to Trulalis some time later, and tutored Jaalib on the finer points of acting and direction. Jaalib became one of the greatest members of the Trulalis Stage Company at a young age, and was later courted by the Iscerian theater. A short time later, Jaalib was on Iscera, playing the lead in For the Want of an Empire, when he met Fable Astin. At that time, Adalric was also preparing Jaalib for the role of the Edjian-Prince in uhl Eharl Khoehng. When Adalric took Fable as a student, Jaalib began to fall in love with her. However, Adalric's plans called for no such relationship, as he hoped to bring Fable to Byss as a present to the Emperor, while holding Jaalib at bay. Adalric sent Jaalib to Iscera, ostensibly to prepare the theater there for the production of Uhl Eharl Khoehng. During the flight, Jaalib found log records of Adalric's trip to Byss, and returned. When he learned of Fable's imprisonment, Jaalib would have none of it. He called Deke Holman to come rescue her, then played the greatest role of his life. When Adalric discovered his son's release of Fable, he attempted to kill Jaalib. However, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Gasping for air, Jaalib drew from the Edjian-Prince and said, "Long ... live ... the king." Jaalib later joined the Empire, hoping to bring balance to his life. He was generally regarded as a skilled commander and a charismatic leader, and was in charge of the Imperial subjugation of Ariana, on the planet Garos IV, shortly after the Battle of Endor. He hoped to restore his life by killing Tork and Alex Winger, thereby severing his ties with the Empire, in a plan which was similar to the drama of Dontavian. When the New Republic arrived and liberated Garos IV, Jaalib chose to fade into the shadow, just as Dontavian did.

This Imperial Navy Captain commanded the Star Destroyer Bastion, as part of the fleet supporting Moff Sarne's operations in the Kathol Sector. Brannij found himself thrown to the DarkStryder being by Sarne, in an effort to placate DarkStryder. Brannij's job was to show DarkStryder how a hyperdrive worked. He dutifully agreed, but he developed a hatred toward Sarne and his lack of respect for his own forces. During the Battle of Kathol, Brannij decided that he had had enough of Sarne, and worked to assist the forces of the New Republic in defeating him. The Bastion took heavy damage in the fight, but Brannij managed to keep the ship active long enough to destroy the last launch gate before Sarne could take control of it. In the wake of the battle, it was revealed that Brannij was, in fact, the New Republic agent known as Rojer 621. Brannij had assumed the role when he discovered that Sarne had planned to lose Kal'Shebbol - sacrificing a large part of his military forces to make the escape look "real." Once Sarne was defeated and DarkStryder was destroyed, Brannij took the Bastion and the remaining Imperial fleet and fled into hyperspace.

He was one of the growing group of Duro who protested the fact that the New Republic placed refugees on the surface of Duro in return for their labor in restoring the planet's natural environment. His sister, Ducilla, was a vehement opponent of the New Republic, and spent most of her time speaking out against the Republic's lack of defense against the Yuuzhan Vong. He even told Luke Skywalker that he would rather have Emperor Palpatine running the galaxy, since the Imperial war machine would probably have been better able to repel the alien invaders. He did nothing to support SELCORE's activities, and was one of the first beings approached by the Peace Brigade in an effort to short-circuit the work of the New Republic in favor of the Yuuzhan Vong. He agreed to provide the Yuuzhan Vong with the refugees transplanted to Duro as payment for the promise that Duro would be left unharmed if the Yuuzhan Vong used it as a base from which to strike at the Core Worlds. However, outside forces rallied to save Duro, and Durgard Brarun was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong and brought before Tsavong Lah. Durgard tried to plead his innocence in the resistance, but the Warmaster would have nothing of it. Durgard Brarun and a number of other CorDuro officials were eventually fed to the creature known as Tu-Scart.

Brasck and his peers - Dravis, Par'tah, and Ellor - were dispatched to Trogan to meet with Talon Karrde some five years after the Battle of Endor. Karrde had proposed a smugglers' alliance to assist the New Republic in its struggle with Grand Admiral Thrawn, reasoning that Thrawn would be harder on smugglers than Emperor Palpatine, so it was in their best interests to help the Republic. Before joining Billey's group, Brasck was working for Jabba the Hutt as a mercenary during the height of the New Order. When Jabba was killed, Brasck went out into the Borderlans Regions with as many followers as would accompany him, to set up his own operations. He later teamed up with Billey, realizing that there was strength in numbers. Before Karrde's offer of a smuggler's alliance, Brasck had decided that his organization was well-equipped to obtain the bounty on Luke Skywalker, despite the fact that it was Luke and his rebel friends who had killed Jabba and given Brasck the chance to rise to power. Brasck was forced to turn down Karrde's offer of an alliance, primarily because he was worried about Imperial retribution. However, Brasck agreed that he wouldn't interfere with the alliance, nor would he tell the Imperials about its existence.

Brashin, Malcor
This man was a career military officer, and had a nondescript career within the Imperial armed forces until he learned that his wife and daughter had been killed by Rodian thieves while he was away from home on maneuvers. In reaction to the tragedy, Brashin committed himself to the New Order and its pro-human stance. He became a zealot, and drove his troops to their limits in order to ensure the swift elimination of "unchecked anarchists and aliens." He was eventually rewarded for his service with a promotion to Grand General, and was assigned to the ground forces aboard the Star Destroyer Devastator when it was dispatched to locate the Tantive IV.

Brask Oto Command Station
This was one of the many military space stations erected in the Unknown Regions by the Chiss. Resembling a pair of connected pyramids, Brask Oto was a white-hulled command center used during the various explorations launched by the Chiss into The Redoubt. It was from here that Aristocra Formbi led the mission to locate the remains of the Outbound Flight Project, shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy. The station was later saved during the mission by Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker.

Brath Qella
This planet was the homeworld of the Qella and their ancestors, the Ahra Naffi. It was known to the Qella as the Homestone, or the Place of Beginning. Orbiting the star N'oka Brath, it had a thick atmosphere, and was located near an asteroid belt. It had two natural satellites. The planet was discovered by the Old Republic's Third General Survey, some 158 years before the Yevethan Purge. By the time the Third General Survey team was able to return home, identify those worlds worth exploring, and return with an exploration crew, the planet had been almost completely glaciated. The planet's ecology appeared to have been destroyed when a series of asteroids impacted the surface. Brath Qella was forgotten by the Republic, but was later rediscovered by the Tobek, who named the world Maltha Obex. It remained under Tobek jurisdiction until the New Republic began searching for the Teljkon vagabond. The unusual ship was linked with the Qella due to the ship's use of the Qella genetic code as a code signal. Kroddok Stopa and Josala Krenn were dispatched from the Obroan Institute to explore the planet for information on the Qella, but were killed in an avalanche before additional help could arrive. The Qella kept an incredible panoramic display of the system aboard the Teljkon vagabond, in a room known as the Reflection of Essential Infinities. The room, it was discovered, was a depiction of the Qella system as it was before it was destroyed. This led to the discovery that one of Brath Qella's moons had a wildly-elliptic orbit. The Qella recognized that it was bound to impact the other moon at some point, and built the vagabond as an escape vehicle. When the cataclysm did come, the resulting debris from both moons showered Brath Qella with asteroid-sized rocks. The planet's ecosystem was plunged into a premature ice age, while the Qella fled in the vagabond. When the vagabond eventually returned to Brath Qella - then called Maltha Obex by the Tobek - it began the long process of thawing out the planet and making it habitable for the Qella once again.

He was killed when Olag Greck, trying to return to Nar Shaddaa with a load of stolen ash ore, was intercepted and disabled by the ship run by Unit Zed, R2-D2, and C-3PO. Greck's ship crashed into the landing bay in Movo's hideout, killing everyone in the area, including Movo himself. It was later discovered that Movo was able to place his brain inside the cranium of the droid B-9D7, and was able to continue his plots to overceom Olag Greck and Jace Forno. However, Movo and B-9D7 were destroyed by Jace Forno when they attempted to discredit Boonda the Hutt.

Brawl, The
This was the term used by naval officers and strategists to describe the apparently chaotic attack of several captial ships against a larger or better-armed fleet of enemy vessels. The idea for the attacking force was to run directly at the enemy line, then break off into smaller groups. In this way, the enemy's firepower could be rendered less concentrated, and the enemy would be forced to fight several smaller battles, rather than one single engagement. This allowed the attackers to get inside the enemy line and cause confusion, since a larger enemy force would be reluctant to fire, due to the greater chance of hitting their own vessels. At its simplest, the brawl was a dogfight among capital ships, and was generally won by the luckier admiral.
(RASB)
Braxant Bonecrusher
This Imperial dreadnaught was originally christened Braxant Brave, and was part of the fabled Katana fleet. It had been kept in storage at Borosk after the Empire retreated into the Imperial Remnant. It was refitted with a complement of droid control brains shortly after the Battle of Bastion, as part of a ruse to fool the Yuuzhan Vong which were attacking the Imperials. The droid brains took the place of living officers, reducing the crew to the barest minimum. Renamed the Braxant Bonecrusher, the ship was meant to take heavy amounts of damage during the defense of Borosk, as it tried to destroy a Yuuzhan Vong slaveship. This would allow Saba Sebatyne and Danni Quee to infiltrate the slaveship to free the captive Imperials and destroy the ship from within. With luck, the Braxant Bonecrusher would survive enough to carry home any rescued slaves. After the Battle of Borosk, the droid brains of the Braxant Bonecrusher volunteered to help Jacen Solo in his quest to locate the mysterious planet Zonama Sekot. Jacen was glad for the assistance, but the aging Dreadnaught was in no shape to travel, and was brought in for repairs.

Under the command of Captain Dadefra, this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was dispatched to Elrood Sector to assist Moff Andal in eliminating the pirates and rebels which preyed upon the sector's convoys. The Brazen was severely damaged shortly after Dadefra arrived in the sector, during an attempt to destroy a pirate force near the Degan Gas Clouds. The sheer number of pirates was more than expected, and they quickly knocked out much of the Brazen's defenses. The ship was able to limp back to Derilyn for repairs, but was later destroyed by the Alliance and the Friends of Paran. The destruction of the huge ship put the Derilyn Space Defense Platform out of commission for several months while it was repaired.

Break, The
This was a starfighter dogfighting tactic in which a defending ship attempted to evade pursuit. The idea behind the break was for the defending starfighter to suddenly change direction and cut directly across the flightpath of the attacking ship. Because of the sudden change in direction, the defending ship was able to pass swiftly through the attacker's firing arc, allowing the attacker just a quick shot before the other ship escaped. When properly executed, the break allowed the defending ship to swoop around and become the attacker.
(RASB)
Breaker
This was the nickname used to describe the clone trooper designated CT-8863. This nickname was given to CT-8863 by Captain Lock, primarily because of his knowledge of electronic circuitry and other technology. Breaker also had an ability to discern key details about his surroundings, but Lock had already given the nickname Sharp to clone trooper CT-4012, so he settled on the nickname Breaker. Initially, CT-8863 questioned the nickname, fearing that it meant that he was better at breaking technology than fixing it. Captain Lock had to explain that the nickname referred to a circuit breaker, which made CT-8863 feel better about the nickname. Breaker and his unit were assigned to the clean-up mission that followed the Galactic Republic's defeat of General Grievous and the destruction of the Malevolence, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. They were then assigned to Jedi Master Ring-Sol Ambase, who was leading the investigation into the appearance of KynachTech Industries circuitry aboard the Malevolence. Breaker remembered very little of the pre-mission preparations, though, because Ambase's Padawan, Nuru Kungurama, used the Force to cloud his mind and hide the fact that Breaker had seen Nuru stowing away aboard their ship. Their ship was attacked by Separatist forces when it reached Kynachi, and Breaker was forced to abandon ship with Chatterbox, Knuckles, and a blue-skinned youth.
Upon landing on the surface of Kynachi, Breaker questioned the young boy, who claimed to be Master Ambase's Padawan. Although Breaker stated that Ambase's Padawan was named Heckle Wiriest, the youth explained that he was Nuru Kungurama, which Breaker knew to be the Padawan's real name. Breaker and the other clones then turned to Kungurama for guidance, and the young Padawan decided they should disguise themselves as unemployed farmers and make their way to the city. They were taken in by Lalo Gunn, but were soon intercepted by a group of Separatist battle droids. Cad Bane, who was working for Darth Sidious to capture Master Ambase on Kynachi, helped destroy the battle droids, and then agreed to help the group infiltrate the KynachTech Industries factory. During the mission, and unknown to Kungurama and the other clones, Breaker set off on his own to take out the communications jamming equipment the Separatists had installed at KynachTech. When communications were restored, Breaker made a simple report to the nearest Republic outpost, which alerted Darth Sidious to actions of Kungurama and the others. While making his way back to the others, Breaker was injured in the wave of explosions that were set off by Overseer Umbrag. With his left leg shattered, Breaker was unable to move fast enough to escape the factory's destruction. He warned the others about the dangers, but was crushed when a collapsing wall fell on top of him. Lalo Gunn's former navigator droid, known to the clones as Cleaver, managed to extract Breaker's body from the rubble. Along with his broken leg, Breaker suffered three broken ribs when the wall collapsed on him, but he was able to make a full recovery.

This was the nickname adopted by the clone trooper unit that accompanied Jedi Padawan Nuru Kungurama to the planet Kynachi, during the height of the Clone Wars. The clone troopers were originally assigned to Kungurama's Master, Ring-Sol Ambase, but they were separated when their transport ship was intercepted by Separatist forces. The clones, including Breaker, Chatterbox, and Knuckles, were able to infiltrate the KynachTech Industries factory and locate the prison facility that had been constructed in its lower levels. With help from Lalo Gunn, they were able to open the prison cells and let the beings who were being held there go free. Among the captives were several other clone troopers who had arrived with Master Ambase. When the clones questioned their rescuers, Knuckles explained that they had been set free by Breakout Squad.
(SM1)
Breakthrough Armor Company
This was the term used to describe any Imperial Army company that was stripped down to its smallest numerical strength, which allowed it to move swiftly across a battlefield and break through enemy lines. Once within the enemy's midst, the company could cause all sorts of trouble while attempting to capture a specific asset or location, then hold the asset until a larger Imperial force could fully subjugate the enemy force. Because they were stripped down for mobility and speed, breakthrough armor companies were rarely effective for more than seventy-two hours, at which point their supplies and ammunition began to run out. Thus, these companies were only formed to handle the so-called "short combat operations."

It was Solo who commandeered the Breathe My Jets after one successful mission, claiming that the vessel had been taken in support of the Galactic Alliance's war against Corellia. He left Captain Lavint with the stock YV-666 known as the Duracrud, forcing her to begin her life over again.
The Breathe My Jets was later overhauled and refitted by the Galactic Alliance for use as a military transport.

Breen, Gilthor
A native of the planet Balmorra, this man worked for Lyster Innovations, during the years following the Swarm War. It was Breen who greeted Ben Skywalker, when the young man arrived at Lyster's corporate headquarters on Drewwa, during a secret mission to locate the Amulet of Kalara. A pale-skinned young man, Breen was known for his love of gifts, a trait that Skywalker took advantage of to gain the man's confidence. By pretending to be a delivery boy and arriving at Lyster Innovations was a "gift" from Aliniaca Verr, Ben was able to get inside Lyster's headquarters building and escape out a refresher window, on his way to reaching Tendrando Arms' offices a few stories below.

B'reen, Grish
This Chistori male was one of the handful of pilots who survived the tests of Imperial agent X-7, who gathered a group of pilots near Iope to test out their skills. X-7 was searching for Luke Skywalker, during the months that followed the Battle of Yavin, and hoped that he could take advantage of the galaxy's best pilots to help him hunt down and eliminate Skywalker. B'reen and three other pilots - Div, Fallon Pollo, and Clea Sook - managed to survive X-7's tests, and were given the opportunity to hunt down Skywalker. However, their attempt to ambush Skywalker at Kamino was met with strong opposition from Skywalker and his fellow X-Wing pilots, and only a couple of Alliance ships were able to escape. B'reen and his companions were forced to land their damaged ships at Research City, where they regrouped and set out to locate Skywalker. The group, including Div and Clea, managed to locate Skywalker and Han Solo, but B'reen was angered when Div ordered him to holster his weapon. However, while he and Div were arguing, Clea Sook snuck up to Div and placed the muzzle of her blaster against his head, and demanded that he either kill the rebels or die with them. Following her lead, B'reen drew his weapons and aimed them at Skywalker and Solo. However, it was at that moment that the creature which had been created by Imperial scientists at Research City attacked, swallowing B'reen whole before turning its attention to the other pilots.

Breil'lya, Tav
A cream-colored Bothan from the Ilya clan, Tav Breil'lya was one of Borsk Fey'lya's top aides during the early years of the New Republic. Tav Breil'lya lacked the subtlety that Fey'lya had, which cost the Bothans a measure of security during the time when Admiral Ackbar was under arrest for treason to the New Republic. Fey'lya had employed Breil'lya to be his emissary to Garm Bel Iblis' group of freedom fighters, but Breil'lya was tracked to one of their meetings by Han Solo and Lando Calrissian, who eventually persuaded Bel Iblis to rejoin the Republic. Breil'lya was a native of Kothlis, and wore his family's ornate crest on a chain around his neck. This necklace often gave his presence away, especially in public places, which was how Han and Lando recognized him on New Cov.

(VP)
Brejik
This man was believed to have died on the planet Taris, in a lightsaber duel with Bastila Shan and Revan, many millennia before the Battle of Yavin. Brejik was originally a member of the Hidden Beks, one of the swoop gangs that joined the resistance that formed after the Mandalorians attacked Taris. When Zayne Carrick returned to Taris to join the resistance, Brejik tried to capture or kill him and claim the bounty on his head, but he was stopped by Del Moomo, who also wanted to claim the bounty. It was just after this that Gadon Thek learned that it had been Brejik who kidnapped the children of Noana Sowrs. Brejik, along with help from Griff Vao, kept the children hidden in The Pit, but their plans were discovered when Mission Vao believed that her brother was bringing food to a secret pet.
In the years that followed the Mandalorian Wars, Brejik was known to have worn a set of unusual defenses, including a special pair of gloves that gave him enhanced protection during a fight. He had allied himself with Davik Kang and the Black Vulkars, and was using the swoop gang to eliminate the other gangs in order to consolidate his power. However, when Gadon Thek's swoop won the big race, Brejik claimed that the rider - one of the survivors of the Endar Spire crash - had cheated. It was at this point that Bastila Shan appeared, having survived the crash herself. Brejik ordered his men to kill them, but Bastila and the survivors were more than a match for them, and Brejik was soon defeated by Revan.

Bremen, Jak
This New Republic Colonel was based on Coruscant during the early years of the New Republic. A native of the planet Shiffrin, he grew up in his father's footsteps, learning a great deal about laws and justice from Kallin Bremen. When Kallin was executed by the local Imperial Moff during a land dispute, Jak fled the planet and ended up on Coveway. He established a life on this new world, but was once again confronted with the atrocities of the Empire. The leadership of a COMPNOR base established near his village decided that the base would be safer without local intervention, and had the entire village executed. Jak was off on a hunting trip when it happened, and returned only to find that his wife and young daughter had been killed.
When, by chance, the Alliance sent a team to eliminate the base, Jak gladly offered his services as a strike team leader, showing them how to reach the garrison under cover. From that point onward, Jak pledged himself the Alliance. He rose in rank while aboard the cruiser Starveil, and was eventually placed in charge of security for the planet Coruscant after the planet was returned to New Republic control. During the first wave of Imperial attacks aimed at retaking Coruscant, Bremen commandeered the Messenger and her crew to carry information regarding a fleet rendezvous location off-planet. He hoped to get the message to the fleet quickly, so that the Republic could consolidate its naval forces and develop a strategy to recover Coruscant from the Imperials. Bremen accompanied the ship's crew, Taryn Clancy and Del Sato, and helped them avoid Imperial trouble, until they were able to reach the Hope and deliver the information.

Bremen, Kallin
Jak Bremen's father, Kallin was a native of the planet Shiffrin. Kallin had been the chief constable of their home village, and proved himself to be a lawful and honest man. He dispensed justice with an impartial hand, and was respected by the villagers. When the local Imperial Moff decided that it was time to establish a garrison on Shiffrin, he simply usurped the land he required. Kallin protested the theft of the land, arguing correctly that it violated standard Imperial procedure for land acquisition. When his protests were ignored, Kallin planned a peaceful demonstration against the Imperials, but was incarcerated and executed along with his other "rebel co-conspirators."

Bren, Malvander
Native to the planet Solem, this Imperial Governor razed the surface of homeworld shortly after the Battle of Yavin, in an effort to eliminate any possible rebellious activity. The fact that he killed ten civilians for every one rebel was a price he was willing to pay to rid his planet of any pro-Alliance sympathies. Malvander was discovered to have been the brother of Yolan Bren. Both were supposed to rule Solem together, but Yolan Bren broke off the relationship because he feared the Empire. His campaign to take control of Solem cost him a great deal, since the cost of destroying much of the planet's surface cost a huge number of Imperial credits. With the deaths of so many civilians, Malvander suddenly found himself without a population from which to exact taxes to cover his obligations to the Empire. When he was unable to come up with the 50,000 credits he offered to Boba Fett for the capture of Yolan Bren, Fett took some of Malvander's valuable jewelry as payment. Malvander's forces, however, were spread too thin, and were unable to stop a group of Yolan Bren's rebels from storming the palace to resuce their leader. As an insurance policy, they took Malvander with them, hoping to force him to see what he had done to his people.

Bren, Taggor
This man was a noted bounty hunter, who grew up in the company of a Tusken Raider tribe on Tatooine during the last years of the Old Republic. The son of moisture farmers, Taggor Bren watched his family be slaughtered by the Tuskens one night, and took a slug in the shoulder before being captured alive. He was raised as a Tusken, and even raided the moisture farms he had once loved. After reaching adulthood, he was ritually scarred to indicate his maturity, with a sunburst pattern radiating from his right eye representing one of Tatooine's twin suns. After a chance meeting with a woman who was stranded in the desert, Taggor felt a growing desire to return to humankind. He left his tribe and found work as an enforcer for local crime syndicates, then made his way offworld to take up bounty hunting. He was known as a successful hunter who found challenges in every hunt, and he used a large vibroblade to ensure his quarry didn't escape.

Bren, Tomax
Considered something of a maverick, this Imperial Captain was in command of the Scimitar Assault Wing, which was part of the Qeimet Fleet, and was based out of the Hook Nebula during the Galactic Civil War. After the subjugation of the planets in and around the Hook Nebula, Captain Bren generated a detailed report of the fighting, and much of the report centered on the effectiveness of his battle plans and the execution of his starfighter units. He was generally credited with developing the proposal for the TIE Bomber Mark 2, hoping to overcome some of the deficiencies of the TIE Bomber, although the craft was never produced. His report was well-received by his naval commanders, but the new tactics he proposed found little acceptance among other TIE Fighter units. Staunchly loyal to the Empire, Captain Bren would have accepted the court-martial that might have come from questioning the tactics of his superiors, but he agreed to take on less-important missions with the Scimitar Assault Wing in order to keep flying. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Bren and his men were able to avoid confrontations with the New Republic because they stayed out of the fighting that occurred at the start of the Empire-Republic War. He later allied himself and his pilots with Grand Admiral Thrawn, and developed the Scimitar Assault Bomber for Thrawn's navy. In the wake of Thrawn's death, Bren went into hiding with the rest of the Scimitar Assault Wing.

Bren, Yolan
This green-skinned humanoid was a native of the planet Solem, and was part of the rebel underground that sprang up during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Yolan Bren was known as the Poet among his people, for he spoke eloquently about throwing off the Imperial yoke of control. It was later revealed that Yolan Bren was also the brother of Imperial Governor Malvander. They had been brought up to rule Solem together, but Yolan Bren could not stand by and allow the Empire to simply take his planet. However, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, Solem was brutally subjugated by Malvander, in an effort to impress the Empire. Yolan Bren barely survived the attack, receiving several injuries to his arms and chest. Hoping to break the will of Solem's natives, the Empire hired Boba Fett to ensure that Yolan Bren was killed. Rather than see any more of his companions killed, Yolan Bren surrendered himself to the bounty hunter. His fellow rebels, however, could not simply sit by and watch him being captured. Lol led a group of rebels into G'ai Solem, where Malvander's forces were spread too thin to stop any form of organized resistance. They were able to easily rescue Yolan Bren, and in turn captured Malvander.

He was considered to be completely insane by law enforcement officials, after having opened fire in a crowded spaceport and killing Imperial personnel and civilians with equal disregard. The Happy Blasters, led by Salem Victory, brought Brenggar into their group as a way to get out of a fight. They figured that Brenggar's reputation as a psychopathic killer would scare away many potential enemies and minor police officers. Brenggar believed in reincarnation, and was convinced that he was an Imperial Captain, an Ithorian scout, and a slaver in several of his past lives.

Brentaal
This dry planet had eight continents surrounded by salty oceans. Brentaal was located in the Bormea Sector of the galaxy, at the intersection of the Perlemian Trade Route and the Hydian Way, and was the fourth planet in the Brentaal System. Brentaal was settled several thousand years before the Battle of Yavin, and the colonists imported a variety of plant and animal life to make the planet more hospitable. During the New Sith Wars, Brentaal was subjugated by the Brotherhood of Darkness, allowing the ancient Sith to put a stranglehold on the Old Republic's ability to move into and out of the Core Worlds. A commercial world, Brentaal's economic and political life was run by the noble families of the planet's ruling Houses. It was one of the many planets chose to secede from the Old Republic and join the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. This gave Count Dooku a way to cut off the Republic's to two major hyperspace routes as well as it's access to the Tion Cluster. Through the efforts of Shaak Ti and Quinlan Vos, Brentaal was liberated from Separatist control. During the New Order, the Houses were overseen by Imperial Governor Jerrod Maclain. The planet was liberated from Imperial control shortly after the Battle of Endor by Rogue Squadron, in a conflict that became known as the Battle of Brentaal. The planet was not known as a tourist location, mainly because its atmosphere was once heavily polluted. Decades of environmental reconstruction restored the atmosphere, but it maintained a natural odor of methane that was unusual to off-worlders.

Bricker, Grov
This Corellian pirate was known for his memoirs, Planet of the Amazons: The Tale of the Pirate Ship Mourning Glory, which documented his treatment after he was captured by a group of Hapan women shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Many criticized the work as nothing more than a glorified romance novel, since it contained gratuitous depictions of the Hapan women as "amazons" who took all manner of liberties with their male prisoners. According to Bricker, the Mourning Glory was captured in the Transitory Mists and brought to Hapes, where the ship was impounded and the crew imprisoned. Bricker himself was held in a dungeon with his First Mate, the Hapan male known as Kelan Faal. When the pair refused to divulge any knowledge that they had of Prince Isolder's whereabouts, they were sentenced to be executed. Bricker began to panic, but Kelan Faal remained sure that they would not be killed. This was little consolation to Bricker, who feared for life and those of his crew. On the morning of the execution, Bricker was stunned to discover that his First Mate was actually Prince Isolder himself. Although this explained his belief that they wouldn't be shot, the Queen Mother wanted nothing to do with her son's secret life as a pirate. She nearly had them executed, until Lady Elliar helped Isolder by throwing him a gun of command. Isolder used the gun to force the Queen Mother into freeing the pirates, but she shook off its effects and forced Isolder to remain on Hapes. Bricker, finding himself free, tried to bargain for Isolder's freedom, but resigned himself to rejoining his crew and fleeing the Hapes Cluster altogether. Upon returning to Corellia, he began to write of his experiences on Hapes, a collection of memoirs that eventually became Planet of the Amazons.

Bridge, The
This was the Basic translated of the Yuuzhan Vong name for the vast belt of debris which was collected and moved into orbit around Coruscant, when the alien invaders reformed the planet into a new version of their longlost homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar. Using debris from the cities on Coruscant, as well as natural materials obtained when the Yuuzhan Vong destroyed Coruscant's moons, the Bridge was formed by tidal forces of the remaining three moons. It eventually encircled the entire planet like a ring, filling a third of the sky when viewed from the planet. It moved abound in a rainbow of colors, reflecting the different materials that could be found in the ring. Also known as the Rainbow Bridge, this ring of debris served as a reminder of the planetary ring of ancient Yuuzhan'tar, which was considered to have been the handiwork of their True Gods, a creation which allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to see the pathway to the True Way.

Bridin, Quarlo
This corrupt politician fled to the Mid Rim to avoid capture by the officials in several systems. He quickly assumed control of the planet Gallienis IV, convincing the native population that he would bring the wrath of the Empire downon them if they disobeyed his decrees. One of the first things Quarlo did was rename the planet Bridin Anchorage. His takeover came just after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, and coincidence allowed him to use real events to his own needs. However, he was not a great leader, and the once lush planet soon fell into a tailspin. Bridin allowed criminal organizations to take control of much of the land, and dismal slums soon replaced the picturesque beaches.

Brie, Shira
According to the Imperial record created by Darth Vader, this woman was a native of the planet Shalyvane. Shira Brie was an alias given to Shira Elan Colla Brie, who was one of Vader's agent. Shira Brie joined the Alliance as a pilot in the wake of the Imperial attack on Shalyvane, claiming that her family had been killed when the nomadic barbarians of the planet attacked her home in Chinshassa, and that she fled into the sewers when the Empire arrived to subjugate the planet.
During the period following the Battle of Hoth, she and Luke Skywalker shared a mutual attraction for each other during their service at the Alliance base on Arbra. Their attraction blossomed into something more, until they were both chosen to pilot modified TIE Fighters on a mission to infiltrate Admiral Giel's armada and destroy the teezl they had captured. Luke managed to destroy the teezl and badly damage Giel's flagship, but in the heat of battle he mistakenly shot down Shira's TIE Fighter. Luke had used the Force to determine whether the ship was a friend or a foe, and his instincts told him to shoot.
In the end, the destruction of her TIE Fighter allowed Shira to return to Imperial services, and made Luke Skywalker a pariah in the eyes of the Alliance. Note that this character was initially referred to as Shira Brei in issue 56 of the Marvel Comics Star Wars series.

Brie, Shira Elan Colla
Shira was born on Coruscant, during the years when Palpatine was still a Senator. She grew up on one of Palpatine's estates, and quickly became an intelligent, beautiful young adult. She was chosen for, and became a leading member of COMPNOR, and came under the watchful eye of Darth Vader. It was Vader who recommended her for service in Imperial Intelligence. Her skills and loyalty were without question, and so she was chose as an operative trainee. The Emperor's scientists biologically altered her body's defenses, making her pain threshold extremely high and giving her an accelerated healing rate. Following the Battle of Yavin, Vader provided her a false history using the alias Shira Brie, and placed her on the planet Shalyvane, were she quickly infiltrated the Alliance while posing as a refugee. She became a fighter pilot, and was involved in the mission to destroy the teezl being carried back to Coruscant by Admiral Giel. She flew a disguised TIE Fighter, but was mistakenly shot down by Luke Skywalker at the end of the mission. She was assumed dead in the attack, but her altered physiology kept her alive long enough for Darth Vader to rescue her and return her to Coruscant, where she was fitted with cybernetic prosthetics to replaced damaged limbs. Shortly thereafter, Vader again recommended Shira for advanced training, this time in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force. Vader managed to hide the fact that he was trainined Shira by proposing that Emperor Palpatine used her as one of his Emperor's Hands. Shira took to her new training readily, and soon afterward, Shira Elan Colla Brie ceased to exist. In her place was the Dark Jedi, Lumiya. Instead of a lightsaber, Lumiya constructed new weapon called the lightwhip, which was more powerful than the lightsaber. She ravaged the fringes of the New Republic for several years, but disappeared from the public eye for many years before returning as Brisha Syo some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong.

Briggia
This planet was the site of the Alliance's primary tactical base, before it was abandoned in favor of the base on Yavin 4. It was abandoned just after the Empire launched Operation Strike Fear, and it was later learned that Briggia was one of the first targets of the operation. This gave the Alliance's military planners a chance to launch an ambush on the Imperial forces that were gathering near Briggia, and the success of that mission gave Alliance naval forces the confidence to take on harder missions, leading up to the planning for the Battle of Yavin.

The ship was dispatched to follow the Republic's forces to Boz Pity, to await any wounded. In the wake of the initial battle, Asajj Ventress' body was loaded aboard the Bright Flight, as Obi-Wan Kenobi believed her to be dead. However, she was actually in a Sith trance, and she awoke a few days later.

This Alliance transport ship was the last to evacuate Echo Base following the Battle of Hoth. As it lifted off from the ice world, it was disabled by Zuckuss and 4-LOM, who had entered the system to respond to the bounty on Han Solo. They felt that bringing the Bright Hope down would help mitigate the fact that they were responsible for the capture of Sector Governor Nardix. The Bright Hope was then further disabled by one of the Imperial Star Destroyers in the system, and drifted without power. Eighteen members of the crew escaped in three operable life pods, and Toryn Farr was able to rescue the rest of the passengers, with the help of Zuckuss and 4-LOM. The two hunters realized that the Alliance would accept them more than the Empire, and would help the Gand if they could.

This weaponry proved enough to deter the shipjacking efforts of the Knife's Edge, allowing Captain Wender enough to jump into hyperspace and escape. The jump was poorly calculated, and the Bright Seeker ended up in a remote region of space. Luckily for the crew, it ended up in the vicinity of the Regal Destiny.

Bright Tree Village
Located on the forest moon of Endor, this Ewok village typified the Ewoks' civilization. It was located fifty meters above the forest floor, in the great Father Trees. A center, massive tree dominated the village, and was the tree for which the village was named. Like most Ewok villages, it was arranged in such a way as to ensure stability within the tribe. Unmarried, adult males lived in the lowest levels of the trees, often outside the village proper, in order to protect the village from invaders. Unmarried females of high status lived in the upper reaches of the village. The mid-level structures were dedicated to communal activities, with the very center being set aside for the tribe's leaders and ceremonial platforms. Families lived on the outer edge of the middle level. Food and other supplies were stored well above homes and dwellings, to ensure that they were not accessible by invaders. Access to the village was via stairways that wound around the trunks of individual trees, while movement between trees was facilitated by rope bridges, walkways, and swings. Leadership of Bright Tree Village was, like other Ewok settlements, split between the tribal chief and a shaman. A council of elders provided assistance.

Brightwater, Korlo
This man was one of the many Imperial Stormtroopers who were stationed aboard the Star Destroyer Reprisal during the months following the Battle of Yavin. Brightwater was an accomplished speederbike pilot, and although he often disobeyed orders, he was always known to follow his superiors. He was regularly brought back into formation by his partner, Tibren.
Despite his service to the Empire, Brightwater held serious reservations about the orders he was commanded to carry out. When his squad was ordered to eliminate a rebellious cell on the planet Teardrop, but no rebels were discovered, Brightwater's suspicions were aroused. After learning that the official reports of the assault on Teardrop included false reports of rebel ambushes, Brightwater began to seriously consider resigning his commission, and was not totally surprised when ISB agent Dreflin accused him of deliberately missing shots, when ordered to fire on a group of suspected Alliance sympathizers on the planet Teardrop. What did surprise them was Daric LaRone's shooting of Major Dreflin, an act that they quickly decided was self-defense. With little future left in the Empire, the squad stole Dreflin's Suwantek TL-1800 and fled the ship.
After several run-ins with the agents of the BloodScar Pirates, the stormtroopers found themselves mixed up with Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, who were working with a group of farmers on the planet Drunost. For his own part, Solo tried to remain aloof, and posited that the BloodScars might have been working to establish their own version of the Alliance in Shelsha Sector.
Their investigation led them to the BloodScar base on Gepparin, where they were inadvertently intercepted by the Reprisal. Thanks the skills of Solo and his co-pilot, Chewbacca, the group was able to avoid being recaptured and fled into space. It was in the wake of their escape that Solo and his friend, Luke Skywalker, explained to the stormtroopers that all the rebels had been evacuated from the planet Teardrop by the time the Reprisal arrived. This only served to put their loyalties into further doubt, but they remained dedicated to upholding Imperial law.
Continuing their investigation, Brightwater and his comrades followed the trail to Shelkonwa, where they found themselves commandeered by Mara Jade, who was investigating Governor Barshnis Choard's role with the BloodScars. They were nearly forced to turn themselves in, until Jade explained that the Hand of Judgment was working for her. After ensuring Choard's arrest and completing her investigation, Jade demanded the truth from LaRone and his comrades. Their explanation seemed to suit her, as she allowed them to disappear, giving them the chance to escape from Imperial service and set off on their own.

No departures were scheduled for the day, and Brillstow initially refused to let the ship leave. However, after realizing that the ship belonged to an officer of the Imperial Security Bureau, Brillstow arranged to bring the Reprisal out of hyperspace to let the TL-1800 leave.
Unknown to Commander Brillstow at the time was the fact that Dreflin had been executed by Daric LaRone. LaRone and his squadmates had made arrangements to steal Dreflin's ship and defect from the Empire, with LaRone posing as Dreflin in order to complete their escape aboard Dreflin's freighter.

While everyone insisted it wasn't slavery, Brin'shak and his clan were under contract to receive eighty percent of the dancers; income from Durga while they performed. However, Ghitsa was not about to sell the dancers into slavery. She arranged to have it look like the Karazak Slavers Guidl stole the dancers, and also sliced into Brin'shak's computer and made it look like Brin'shak had been taking payments from Karazak all along. This ensured that the Shak clan would not be doing much business in slavery.

Further investigation revealed that the Broken Circle plan called for a full-scale evacuation of the BioCruiser, during which time Offworld droids would board the ship to "rescue" it. In reality, the droids would be stealing the treasury of this ship, which was made up of the collective fortunes of its passengers.

Broken Tusk, The
This disreputable establishment, located on the polluted world of Reuss VII, was considered by many to be the most vile place in the galaxy. Owned and operated by the Gamorrean brothers Greel and Gorge, The Broken Tusk was formed from the hull of their stolen starship, the Tolan's Tusk. Greel wanted to name the place "Greel's Good Place to Have Drink and Eat and the Get Into Fights," but Gorge got lost after 'drink,' so Greel named the place after the broken tusk Gorge suffered in the crash of the Tolan's Tusk. The club itself was built like a tiered dinner theater, with the Dool Arena being located in the center. In this configuration, there were no bad seats, as every table had a clear view of the arena. It was in the Dool Arena that the brothers staged personal combats between professional and amatuer fighters from across the Outer Rim. The battles were vicious, but more often ended in surrender than death. This was Greel's idea, and over time established a roster of "good" guys and "bad" guys that kept patrons coming back for more. After the Empire took control of Reuss VIII, a Tolanese bounty hunter entered the Broken Tusk and shot the place up, killing Greel and Gorge in the process. Ownership of the Broken Tusk was passed to Torel Vorne, who did his best to clean up its reputation. However, he kept the Dool Arena at its center, and continued to turn a healthy profit from its gladiator events.

During the years following the Battle of Naboo, the Brolfi petitioned the office of Chancellor Palpatine for assistance in negotiating with the Corporate Alliance, which had begun taking control of Barlok's mining operations. Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth was dispatched to mediate the dispute, which ended with a failed assassination attempt on the lives of Passel Argente and the Brolfi leadership.

Bron
This man traveled to Cerea to bring as much technology to the planet as he could. He understood that the import of high-technology items was illegal, but he used the freedom afforded to off-worlders to incite the younger Cereans to demand them of their elders. Many of the elder Cereans, such as Ki-Adi-Mundi, believed that Bron was an outright liar, spinning wondrous tales of the Republic that were simply not true. However, as the elders tried to stop him, they realized that such actions would simply lend credence to his diatribes. When Ki was accused of the murder of a young male, Bron saw his chance to turn the tide of the elders. Despite the fact that the youth was actually killed when Maj-Odo-Nomor tried to use the Jedi's lightsaber, Bron continued to push his point that the elders could use technology when it suited them, but kept it from the younger members of society. He also used Maj as a sort of hero-figure, building him up in the minds of his peers as an unjustly imprisoned youth. However, it was all just a backdrop to his own schemes, which counted on the skills of Ephant Mon to import swoops and other high-technology equipment to Cerea in exchange for tecave and malium. When Ki managed to track Ephant Mon to Tatooine and discover information on the Hutt's connections to the Trade Federation, Bron backed down on his tirades and went into hiding.

Each bronwen was a self-exiled person, outcast from their tribe by their own volition in order to pursue their calling. They spent the rest of their lives wandering the Socorran deserts, and their survival gave them prestige and respect. This nomadic lifestyle became known over the years as the Long Walk.

Bronzium
This metal was quite dense, and was often used in the creation of structures where radiation might be a threat. One of its most prominent uses was in the case-hardened bulbs which held the reactor core of the Trade Federation's droidekas. It also found use in the creation of cast sculptures and busts. Even C-3PO was plated in bronzium, after the droid was given to Padme' Amidala as a gift from her husband, Anakin Skywalker.

Brood, Maris
It was rumored that this female Zabrak was one of the few Jedi Knights who survived the turmoil of the Clone Wars. She was noted for her use of two lightsabers in combat, both of which could be carried by the hilt like a traditional lightsaber, or by an elongated grip attached to the hilt that allowed her to spin the blades around in tight circles. It was later learned that Maris Brood had actually been one of Padawans who were among the Jedi students and teachers travelling aboard the Gray Pilgrim when the execution of Order 66 was carried out. Her own Master was one of several Jedi who set out to learn what had happened on Coruscant, after repeated attempts to communicate with the Jedi Temple resulted in static. He managed to send out one communication before disappearing, indicating that an evil being known as Darth Vader had destroyed the Jedi Order.
Maris set out to avenge her Master's death, hoping to bring Vader to justice. Her travels led her to Shaak Ti, who managed to convince Brood to hide out on Felucia until the initial wave of the Jedi Purge swept across the galaxy. Brood agreed to this plan, but remained convinced that she would one day hunt Vader down and avenge her Master. Her desire to destroy Vader only increased when the Starkiller arrived on Felucia and killed Shaak Ti at the Ancient Abyss, leaving Maris to fend for herself. However, as the planet's connection to the Force turned toward the Dark Side, Maris Brood fell under its sway. She became the antithesis of everything she had been brought up believing, drawing strength from the Dark Side by allowing her anger and hatred to consume her.
Thus, when the Starkiller returned to Felucia, Maris Brood believed that she was ready to confront him. However, her powers were no match for the Starkiller's, and he quickly destroyed her pet rancor before forcing her into submission. Rather than killing her outright, the Starkiller disarmed her and forced her to admit defeat. He then allowed her to go free, but refused to take her with him aboard the Rogue Shadow. Maris Brood then fled into the jungles before he could rethink his decision.

Brosi
This lushly forested world was the fourth planet in the Dostra System, and was the only inhabitable world in the Thandon Cluster. The planet was unremarkable, except for the fact that its crust and mantle were rich in zinsian, which the Corporate Sector Authority used as a dry preservative. The CSA established a number of zinsian processing plants, and annexed the planet despite the wishes of the native Brosin. The average day on Brosi lasted 26.5 standard hours, and its year encompassed 289 local days. Brosin had one natural satellite.

Sometime before the Battle of Yavin, Han Solo was carrying what was supposed to be a cargo of 12 Lockfiller projectors, but a Brosso Mark II got mixed in. Han's buyer refused to take it, and so Han was stuck with it. He used his Brosso to show holofeatures to the Kamarian Badlanders.

Brother Fivelines
This huge droid was once the ruler of the planet Ronyards. Like the other droids there, he had been sent to Ronyards to be scrapped. However, the planet-wide construct of various droid parts kept him active. He became a believer that the planet was the Body of the Living God, and felt that it would protect him in any situation. When C-3PO and R2-D2 travel to Ronyards to warn the droids of an impending Imperial meltdown of the droids there, Fivelines falls back on the belief that the planet will protect the droids. However, the Imperials cared little for Ronyards, and sent gougers to melt the droids down. Fivelines was destroyed in the Imperial invasion, but this set off a mysterious storm of droid shrapnel from the planet-wide droid construct. This storm decimated the Imperial forces, saving the remaining droids.

Brotherhood Mortalis
This mercenary organization was founded some twenty-five years before the Battle of Yavin, and was believed to have had membership numbering well over 20,000 members spread across more than 100 worlds. What made the Brotherhood Mortalis unique was their simple set of rules and and guiding principles. Among these principles was the requirement that any Brotherhood member, who encountered another wounded member who identified himself, had to administer or provide medical treatment to the wounded member. Despite its simplicity, this rule helped ensure that Brotherhood members stayed on to fight harder, a trait that made them valuable to their employers.
(GMR8)
Brotherhood of Cognizance
This arcane religious order existed in the rural areas of the planet Naboo, and had been present on the planet since it was first colonized. During its early years, the Brotherhood of Cognizance was quite large, but as the human population migrated to larger cities, the membership began to fall off. By the time of the Clone Wars, just twenty Pontifexes were left to carry on its mission. The Brotherhood was based in a small sanctuary located in the mountains of Naboo, and its members spent most of their day in silent contemplation of the universe. While other religions focused on a pantheon of gods or messiahs, the Brotherhood of Cognizance reflected on the spiritual enlightenment that could be discovered in all forms of art, including music, poetry, music, painting, and aesthetics. Despite its obscure existence, the Brotherhood of Cognizance was a recognized religious order among the Naboo, and its members could perform marriages and funerals like other, more mainstream religions.
(SWDB)
Brotherhood of Darkness
This was the name chosen by the Sith Lord Kaan to describe the legion of Sith who joined him, a millennia before the onset of the Galactic Civil war. Under Kaan's leadership, the Sith united under the Rule of the Strong. Kaan believed that the Sith would be more powerful if there was no true leaders, since there would not be any in-fighting that plagued prior Sith organizations. However, a handful of his fellow Sith Masters were not entirely sure that the Rule of the Strong worked, as Kaan continued to serve as the leader of the Brotherhood. This did not stop them from working together to for an army of twenty thousand Sith warriors and adherents who followed Lord Kaan into battle, in an effort to subjugate the galaxy in the name of the Sith. One member of the Brotherhood refused to join Kaan, however. The apprentice known as Bane chose to leave the Brotherhood, believing that the Rule of the Strong was weakening the Sith by diluting the power of the Dark Side of the Force. After studying the ancient texts on Korriban, Bane believed that the Sith needed to embrace the Rule of Two, and set out to destroy the Brotherhood and establish himself as the pre-eminent Sith Master. While Kaan led the Brotherhood into battle against the Jedi Order on Ruusan, Bane declared himself worthy of the title Darth, and set in motion plans to bring down Kaan and the Brotherhood. He provided Kaan with the necessary incantations for creating a thought bomb, then manipulated events at the Battle of Ruusan to force Kaan to use the weapon. The thought bomb obliterated every member of the Brotherhood except Darth Bane, who watched events from a safe distance. In the wake of the Battle of Ruusan, Darth Bane did away with the belief that all Sith were equal, and established the Rule of Two.

Brotherhood of the Sith
Formed and led by Exar Kun, this brotherhood was made up of disillusioned Jedi Knights who chose to learn the dark lore of the Sith. Among its members were Ulic Qel-Droma, who aced as Exar Kun's General during the height of the Great Sith War. According to reports from Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, Exar Kun's spirit claimed that the Brotherhood of the Sith, with Kun himself as the Dark Lord of the Sith, could have ruled the galaxy, but he was ultimately betrayed by Qel-Droma. The Brotherhood of the Sith was smashed when Exar Kun was driven to Yavin 4, where he destroyed the Massassi population in an effort to ensure the survival of his spirit, despite the fact that the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights destroyed his body.

Brrbrlpp
This strange form of life was found in the liquid atmosphere of Esfandia. Resembling huge flowers, the Brrbrlpp were actually sentient plants. The petals of an individual Brrbrlpp rippled and moved to provide propulsion, and a ring of photoreceptive organs studded the interior of the petals. Along the center line of each petal was a mass of cilia which were used to draw food toward the creature's mouth, and a tough "skeleton" of fiber kept the creature's body rigid. Trailing behind the main body of the Brrbrlpp was a long tail, which provided stability in the swirling atmosphere. These creatures communicated in an odd form of trinary machine language that sounded to human ears like a bubbling sing-song. The females of the species laid their eggs in deep caves, out of the turbulence of the atmopshere. The males came in later to fertilize them, and the eggs grew inside the caves, warmed by the heat of the planet's core. When the New Republic decided to establish a communications base on the planet, the original base commander discovered that the Brrbrlpp were sentient. It was acutally this first commander, a Gran known as Si, who provided them with their trinary language, an action which allowed the two sides to communicate and understand each others' cultures. Brrbrlpp, he discovered, loved to talk. The calls of the Brrbrlpp traveled great distances through Esfandia' liquid atmosphere, and New Republic communications technicians often commented that the entire planet was alive with their chatter. What made the Brrbrlpp culture interesting was that it was built on an ecosystem that was degenerating. Without a sun to keep it warm, Esfandia's inner core was slowly dying out. This meant that, at some point in the future, the Brrbrlpp would need to locate a new home.

BRT-series Computer
This model of super-computer was first developed by the Aratech Repulsor Company several millennia before the Battle of Yavin, as a way to assist planetary governments and civilizations in rebuilding their worlds after the Great Sith War and the War of the Star Forge. These immense units were designed to take over where G0-T0 units could not operate, overseeing huge rebuilding efforts on plantery scales. After the G0-T0 units staged bloody coups in the Gordian Reach, BRT-series units underwent a centuries-long series of redesigns, until public opinion and technology finally allowed the BRT to be recognized for its value. Each of these units was designed to perform administrative operations on a vast scale, such as managing a huge city or even a small planetary government. Each BRT could manage the activities of 40 million beings, creating and coordinating work assignments and personnel to ensure the smooth, day-to-day operation of an urban environment. In this capacity, the BRT series eliminated the roles of thousands of lesser droids and many humans. This ability scared many politicians and business leaders, who recognized that the BRT was better able to do their own jobs, at a fraction of the cost. In response, these politicians and leaders ordered the BRT line shut down on any number of grounds, and the majority of BRT units was unplugged and physically scrapped. No more than 25 survived at the time of the Battle of Yavin, and most of those had undergone severe memory wipes to reduce their abilities.

Brubb
A green-grey skinned, reptilian race native to the planet Baros, the Brubbs were vaguely humanoid in appearance. Their faces were flat and conical, and dominated by bony ridges around their eyes. A topknot of hair sprouts from the head of the males, while the females were hairless. Their noses were used only for breathing, as their sense of smell was found in their forked tongues. They were herbivorous in nature. Females lay a single egg every Barosian year, and very often die during childbirth, so much of Brubb society was dominated by males. Brubbs were virtually deaf, which was probably genetic but was an excellent adaptation to the harsh winds of Baros. Brubbs were intensely social creatures, and organize themselves into groups known as habas. They were subjugated by Thrawn during his reign of terror.

Like Halle Dray, the brothers were disturbed by Princess Leia Organa's willingness to join the rebel Alliance and get other Alderaanians killed while fighting against the Galactic Empire. Both brothers supported Halle's plan to turn Leia over to the Imperial authorities, in exchange for a new world on which to build new homes. Unfortunately, the Empire had no plans to honor the deal, and entered their meeting place with blasters blazing. Both Driscoll and Trey were shot and killed while guarding the entrance to the abandoned schoolhouse in which they were waiting for the Imperials.

This man served as Lommite Limited's chief of field operations at the Dorvalla mining operation in Videnda Sector, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. A lifelong bachelor with no emotional ties, he hoped to one day start his life over on Coruscant, far the dusty mining worlds he worked on, but was unable to make much headway toward the dream. His work on Dorvalla was threatened by the continual sabotage of LL's main rival, InterGalactic Ores, and he was forced to seek out ways to strike back at IGO by his boss, Jurnel Arrant, not the least of which was hiring the Toom Gang to destroy IGO mines. Unfortunately for Bruit, Darth Maul discovered the corporate feud, and manipulated events so that Toom destroyed both Lommite Limited and InterGalactic Ores. After learning of the Tooms' deception, Bruit joined forces with his former rival, Caba'Zan of IGO, in an effort to fight back against the mercenaries. They destroyed the Toom base on Riome, then eliminated the gang's forces in a bloody assault. Despite the success of the mission, Bruit found himself the only survivor when Darth Maul appeared to eliminate the surviving warriors, in an effort to clean up any loose ends. Using the Force, Maul crushed Bruit's neck and suffocated him.

Unknown to Threepio, the phrase was not a rallying cry but an insult, meaning something akin to "Weakness to the Yuuzhan Vong, long live the timid." Unfortunately for the Solos, the Yuuzhan Vong attackers simply withdrew long enough to regroup with more warriors, then ambushed the defenders a short distance down the corridor.

Brun
This man worked as a cargo crew boss for the Imperial forces that controlled the planet Despayre, during the early years of the New Order. Distinguished by his large, heavy-set body, Brun had been set to prison many years before construction began on the first Death Star, and had managed to garner the trust of the Imperial forces who guarded the Slashtown prison colony. Despite his hulking appearance and fluency in the guttural jargon of criminals, Brun was more than capable of speaking in clear Basic when the situation demanded it.
Brun agreed to help Celot Ratua Dil sneak aboard a cargo ship that was bound for the Death Star, effectively allowing the criminal to escape from captivity. Ratua agreed to allow Brun to implant a spy-killer, keyed to Brun's name, in his skull, thereby ensuring that Ratua would not give him up for his part in helping Ratua escape. Unknown to Brun was the fact that Ratua had disabled the spy-killer's programming, ensuring that the device would never explode.

He lacked political experience, though, and many questioned whether he could bring about the reforms he promised to make. He ran under the slogan that all Galacians were one people, and he was just another on eof them. Obi-Wan Kenobi later discovered that Brun's campaign was being financed by Offworld Mining Corporation, which was led by Xanatos.

Unfortunately, Admiral Daala's techniques were recognized by the Mon Calamari leader, Admiral Ackbar, who remembered them as those of Grand Moff Willhuf Tarkin. Ackbar was able to maneuver the half-built hulk of the Startide into the path of the Manticore, and Captain Brusc was unable to prevent a collision. The main reactor of the Startide exploded upon impact, destroying both ships and killing all hands aboard the Manticore.

Bular
This portly, balding councilman was one of the leaders of the planet Ahakista, during the height of the New Order. Like the other councilmen, Bular was concerned about the growing rebellion that took hold on the planet in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. He was aware that Dunlan was leading the insurgents, but the local government lacked the manpower to root out the rebels. When the planetary leaders agreed to allow the Empire to build its installation on Ahakista, Bular believed that the Imperial forces on the planet could assist with eliminating Dunlan's forces.
At a meeting with the Imperials, including Darth Vader himself, Bular urged the Empire to intervene. Vader took Bular's request to the Emperor, who agreed that the rebellion on Ahakista needed to be stopped, to protect the Pyramid One installation. When Vader returned to Ahakista, he executed Bular by choking him with the Force, while calmly explaining that the Empire had finally agreed to Bular's demands. However, because Vader had been put in charge of the situation, Bular had become unnecessary.

Bulgan
This Alwari Ansionian was outcast from the Tasbir clan because of an accident which left him with a deformed spine and mentally damaged. Bulgan was just a child when he was thrown from the back of a suubatar, and his injuries were beyond the aid of the local medicine man. As a result of the fall, Bulgan's mind was rendered almost useless. He was employed by Soergg the Hutt for his lack of a mind, in the hopes that the Ansionian could approach the Jedi Knights who were on Ansion to mediate a settlement between the Alwari and the city dwellers. Soergg wanted to kidnap either Anakin Skywalker or Barriss Offee, in an effort to force the Jedi to abandon their efforts in search of the Padawan. Working with Kyakhta, the two feeble Ansionians managed to capture Barriss Offee, but were unprepared when she offered to fix their mental deficiencies. Barriss was able to use the Force to repair the mental damage done to both Bulgan and Kyakhta, and the two suddenly found themselves able to think and communicate with incredible dexterity. Both also pledged their support to help the Jedi. They were able to guide the Jedi Knights to the Borokii overclan, where Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luminara Unduli convinced the Alwari join the city dwellers in agreeing to remain with the Old Republic instead of seceding.

After a year of pushing pencils, she left her job and stowed away on a transport ship to pursue her dreams of being a pilot. Work as an independent pilot was hard to come by during the early years of the New Order, as most Imperial-backed corporations were looking for human pilots. After she was hired to work aboard the smuggling vessel known as the Rabid Nek Dog, Syv found herself the leader of the smugglers when a mutiny removed her previous captain. As a smuggler, Syv found the blockade running to be very exciting, but hated the business end of it all. She left this to her officers, and concentrated on the fun parts of the job.

He spent the next twenty-five years of his life searching for the treasures of Koda's World, including the Eye of Koda before a group of scouts found it on Vengler. They took off to find Koda's World, and Bullwin followed them. His ship, the Logrus, was shot down by the scouts, but Bullwin managed to escape to the planet. Once there, Bullwin raced the scouts to locate the hidden temple, and was able to reach it before them. Inside, he discovered the source of magic and incredible power, and gave himself to it. He hoped to control the galaxy, but the power was maintained by the ancient Tempestro spirits. They deemed Bullwin unworthy of the power, and destroyed him.

Bulq, Sora
One of the few members of his race to and aptitude for the Force, this Weequay Jedi Master was one of the handful of Jedi who survived the initial stages of the Battle of Geonosis. Known for his skills with a lightsaber, Master Bulq was one of the best teachers of lightsaber combat at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Master Bulq was also worked with Mace Windu in the development of the Vaapad form of combat. Sora Bulq was part of the small group who were surrounded by the droid armies of Count Dooku and his Separatists, just before the Army of the Republic arrived on Geonosis. Note that Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Episode II indicates that Sora Bulq died during the Battle of Geonosis, when his LAAT/i was shot down and crashed. However, as the Jedi Council advocated a stronger military presence for the Jedi Knights, Sora Bulq began to grow more and more dissatisfied with the Jedi. He finally decided to break away from the Jedi in protest, gathering a group of Jedi and retreating to the moon of Ruul. Note that Star Wars: Republic - Trackdown indicates that Sora Buld was captured by Count Dooku on Bakura, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis.
Some three months after Geonosis, Master Bulq agreed to meet with Master Windu on Ruul, to discuss a mediation to their dispute. However, Bulq had other plans, having turned down the path to the Dark Side of the Force. He allowed Asajj Ventress to land her starship on his estate, and was "injured" early in a struggle with Ventress to allow his supporters to come to his aid. Mira's death only served to turn his supporters further away from the Jedi Order. When Master Windu confronted Bulq about this, Master Bulq openly explained that he had come to understand Count Dooku's position in the Clone Wars. Bulq and Ventress banded together to fight against the Jedi, but Master Windu, Jeisel, and K'kruhk managed to survive. Bulq remained on Ruul, planning his next moves against the Jedi. He eventually made contact with Rath Kelkko on Anzat, in an effort to establish as "shadow army" for the Confederacy of Independent Systems, in an effort to offset the growing advantages of the Republic's clone troopers.
He then traveled to Saleucami, where he took advantage of the heat and power supplied by the open magma flows in the creation of clones of the Morgukai warriors. His plans for the Shadow Army were brought to ruin by the arrival of an Old Republic task force led by Jedi Masters Oppo Rancisis and Quinlan Vos. Although both sides of the fighting were evenly matched, Sora Bulq managed to kill Master Rancisis in combat, eliminating the coordination of the clone troopers and giving the Separatist forces a chance. However, Sora Bulq was unprepared for Quinlan's decision to fully abandon the Dark Side of the Force. As Quinlan came to his decision, Sora Bulq tried to sneak up behind the Jedi. Quinlan was ready for the attack, and swung his lightsaber behind him. Sora Bulq caught the blade of his lightsaber in the chest, and the impact of the blow forced the Weequay off the edge of a ledge. With his heart badly damaged, Sora Bulq fell to his death in the lava below.

(PH)
Bunker Buster
This was the term used to describe the two-stage, rocket-propelled torpedoes that were first produced during the Mandalorian Wars. The primary profile of the bunker buster was to destroy hidden bunkers and buried command posts during a siege. These weapons continued to see usage for many decades, because their basic design was exceptionally effective. The outer casing of the bunker buster was filled with thermal detonators that were set off by the impact with the ground, allowing the inner weapon to bury itself deep below the surface. The initial impact triggered a time-delayed explosion within the inner weapon, detonating the main payload of proton bombs only after it had been buried in the ground.
(SWI64, DN2, KORV)
Bunker-bomb
This was a more modern version of the Mandalorian bunker buster, used to breach the doorway or portal that led to an underground bunker. The bunker-bomb was a specially-designed thermal detonator that simply broke open the portal, rather than destroying the entire bunker.

Bunkurd Corporation
Once based on Coruscant, this company operated several centuries prior to the Battle of Endor. They engineered a bacterium that could help break down the huge amount of waste coming out of Imperial City each day. The bacterium would eat the sludge and grime, converting it to more biodegradable by-products. The bacterium was responsible for a twenty-percent improvement in Coruscant's sewage problems. However, if the bacterium was consumed by humans, it would make them feel as if they had food poisoning. This became known as Bunkurd Sewer Disorder. Bunkurd later developed a way to contain the bacterium in a self-contained treatment system known as the Bunkurd Reclamation System.

Rather than allowing himself to be detained, Bura'lya became a fugitive, and fled into the undercity of the planet. He eventually made contact with the Whiplash organization, which agreed to help him escape the planet via the Underground Mag-Lev. Jax Pavan and Laranth Tarak were assigned to move him from location to location, and they were forced to eliminate several stormtrooper squads in order to get Bura'lya to a safe transport ship that would take him away from Coruscant.

Bureau of Ships and Services
This agency assigned unique transponder codes to all of the galaxy's starship. It was often referred to as the BoSS. A bureau office was located in most major spaceports throughout the galaxy. BoSS had been an fixture of intergalactic travel for several millenia, acting as an independent and neutral entity that operated without regard for political gain. The BoSS was originally established millennia before the Battle of Yavin, and survived the Clone Wars, the scourge of the Empire, and the birth of the New Republic while remaining totally neutral. This neutrality was formed from a simple rule: whoever rules the galaxy "inherits" the BoSS. Most of the positions within BoSS were filled on a hereditary basis, so the BoSS was as much an intergalactic clan as it was a civil bureaucracy.
The computer files the the BoSS maintained contained information on every starship in operation throughout the galaxy. This information was stored in databases that used nearly indecipherable codes, allowing the BoSS to charge for the computer programs that were necessary to read the databases. Updates were provided for a fee, but were often too expensive for most spaceports. Smaller spaceports often updated their own databases once a year, to keep costs down.

When he discovered that the Mandalorians had let the Jedi go, Bur'lorr tried to kill them for their treachery. He was almost a match for them, but the Mandalorians soon overpowered Bur'lorr. Goran Beviin was forced to crush the life from the warrior with his crushgaunts, swueezing Bur'lorr's throat until the trachea and neck bones snapped into pieces. While Suvar Detta took pieces of Bur'lorr's body as bio-samples, Beviin took his scalp as a trophy.

Burn-out Creepage
This was a term used by starship pilots to describe the progressive loss of shipboard systems that occurred when a ship was badly damaged, either in combat or by being stuck. Quite often, the loss of one or two key systems caused subsequent failures in other systems, creating the burn-out creepage and rendering the ship inoperable.
(HSE)
Burnout, The
This space station was located in Thaereian space during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was known as one of the nastiest places a being could ever visit, and all manner of criminal activities occurred within its bulkheads. Spice smuggling, slave trading, gunrunning, and information brokering were considered just the beginning of the illegal activities that could be discovered there. What made the existence of The Burnout hard to understand was the Thaereian Military's public stance against any sort of criminal activity. If the Military was so worried about protection, reasoned the natives of the Cularin System, why did it allowed something like The Burnout to exist in its own backyard?
Nevertheless, the Burnout was used as one of the primary stopover points for travelers headed to Thaere Privo, as any traffic that originated directly from Cularin was detained as suspicious.
(LFCW, NET3)
Buro

Burra
This aged Kel Dor was one of the Baran Do Sages who abandoned his life on the surface of the planet Dorin to assist with the work that was done in the Caverns of the Hidden One, during the years leading up to the Second Galactic Civil War. Burra was one of the first members of the Kel Dors who lived in the caverns to question the philosophy "As in life, so in death", which held that a Kel Dor who made the journey to the caverns was forced to remain at the same social and personal level that they held before arriving in the caverns. Much to the chagrin of the Hidden One, Burra revealed to Luke Skywalker that the debate over this philosophy was still active, although the assembled Kel Dors chose to abide by the rules of the Hidden One and live their lives by them. However, when Ben Skywalker bested Charsae Saal in combat, Koro Ziil refused to allow open debate about the philosophy. Instead, he ordered that the Skywalkers be put to death, prompting Burra and several other Kel Dors to voice their disapproval of the decision. After Koro Ziil was defeated in combat by Luke Skywalker, the Hidden One revealed that he had cut off the Skywalkers' oxygen supply, so that they were dead already. Burra could not stand by and allow this to happen, and when Ben set off the self-destruct system in the caverns, Burra revealed the location of the escape route that had been maintained since the construction of the caves.

Bursa
Native to the swamps of the planet Naboo, the bursa was a large pachyderm characterized by its immense shoulders. The snout of the bursa was dominated by a pair of tusks, and their hunching shoulders were crowned with wondrous, feather-like tufts of hair. The bursa was carnivorous by nature, and was considered an opportunistic feeder, eating whatever prey it happened to encounter.
Bursas were often trained by Gungans as a circus animal. It was believed that the bursas pre-dated even the Gungans in the evolution of Naboo, and that the early Gungans were often attacked by groups of bursas. These wild bursas were believed to have been driven into extinction by the early Gungan Grand Army, although a tamer species survived until at least the Battle of Naboo.

(CCG9)
Burska
This cold world, located in the Mid Rim near the Unknown Regions, was covered with tundra due to its location in the system. Despite the frigid conditions and intense hailstorms that poelted the planet with ice, life managed to thrive on the planet. The average hailstone which struck the planet was roughly fifteen centimeters in diameter, or about the size of a human head, making these storms particularly dangerous. Because of the existence of Burskan gundarks, explorers during the last centuries of the Old Republic had the planet declared as an environmental preserve, hoping to discover more about the gundarks and why they were so different than their cousins.
(WOTC)
Burskan Gundark
This subspecies of the common gundark was native to the planet Burska, where it evolved to survive in the harsh tundra of the planet. Its hide was incredibly think and tough, evidently an evolutionary response to the strong hailstorms that pelted the planet with ice. These gundarks were also tougher than most other species, able to withstand the punishment of storms as well as the frigid temperatures of Burska. Interestingly, Burskan gundarks were also very docile compared to their cousins, and had a calming effect on other gundarks when placed in proximity to one another. The violent nature associated with gundarks remained intact, but was somehow dormant in the Burskan gundarks. These gundarks also were fond of soft, fluffy objects, and were known to violently protect a small piece of carpet from other gundarks.
Physically, Burskan gundarks resembled the typical gundark, with four prehensile arms and large ears. Burskan gundarks, however, lived just five years in the wild, despite being the dominant predator on the planet. Infant Burskan gundarks were raised by their parents for a year, until the father left the family. The mother continued to provide food and shelter for another few months before abandoning the young gundark to fend for itself.

Burtoni, Halle
This female Senator from the planet Kamino was part of a group that proposed increasing the Galactic Republic's involvement in the Clone Wars. An elderly Kaminoan even by her people's standards, Burtoni had used her homeworld's monopoly on clone production to obtain a seat on the Galactic Senate, and was not afraid to get involved with unpopular legislation, often branding those Senators who voted against her as working against the Republic. Senator Burtoni was at the forefront of a small faction that asked for increased production of clone troopers to offset the losses that were being suffered on the battlefield. When their efforts were opposed by Senators Padme' Amidala and Lolo Purs, Senator Burtoni accused them of being Separatists for their anti-war speeches. In the days that followed, Senator Onaconda Farr was murdered by what appeared to be a Kaminoan chemical that was designed to affect only Rodians. Senator Burtoni adamantly insisted on her innocence, even after Senator Lolo Purs claimed to have been attacked by the Kaminoan. However, Senator Amidala remembered that Senator Purs was not affected by the chemical, even though she had been with Senator Farr at the time. Senator Purs was later found guilty of the murder, and her incarceration removed another Senator anti-war Senator from the debate. In a meeting that followed, Senator Burtoni and her allies were then able to gather enough votes to approve the production of more clones.

The situation on Balmorra had always been tenuous for the Republic, and General Buryn knew that he would eventually receive orders to withdraw. The signing of the peace treaty expedited these orders, and Buryn ordered all his troops to leave the base immediately. This meant that units in the field might not receive their orders to return to base, which did not sit well with Jedi Knight Fortis, who served as the Jedi liaison at the base.

Buzchub
This race of beings came from a remote sector of the galaxy. Their homeworld was believed to have been the planet Harrandarr. Harrandarr's remote location, coupled with their unremarkable history, kept them out of the galactic mainstream. A peaceful race, the Buzchub were characterized by their tall, humanoid appearance and blue fur. They were incapable of speaking the Basic language, much like the Wookiees, whom the Buzchubs considered to be their "long-haired brothers." Those Buzchub which traveled off their homeworld wore a special translator in order to converse with Basic-speaking races.

Buzk, Sev
This overbearing man served the Empire as a Commander, during the height of the New Order. After he was assigned to lead the small garrison on Troska, Buzk decided to take matters into his own hands, despite his direct orders. Rather than simply managing the refineries, Buzk decided to gouge the Kyber family for additional credits. His actions were carefully hidden from his superiors, but Lieutenant Manech eventually discovered his schemes. Unknown to Buzk, Manech established an elaborate plan that involved using Boba Fett to attack the Kyber stronghold, ostensibly under orders from Buzk himself. This rattled Buzk, especially when it appeared that Fett had murdered King Natas. His treachery exposed and recorded, Buzk was forced to submit to Imperial agents when Fett returned to the garrison and eliminated any opposition he might have put up. Buzk was arrested and taken away for interrogation.

Buzz
This clone trooper served under Jedi General Luminara Unduli and her Padawan, Barriss Offe, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Buzz was part of the strike team that was dispatched to Geonosis, during the mission to capture Poggle the Lesser and eliminate a new droid factory that had been discovered on the planet. Once the factory was destroyed, Master Unduli and Buzz set out to apprehend Poggle. A discarded case of munitions gave Buzz enough information to guess that the Geonosian leader was heading for Progate Temple, despite the fact that the Temple had been badly damaged during their initial attacks. At the Temple, the pair were attacked by a group of strangely-possessed Geonosian soldiers, and Buzz was killed while defending Master Unduli. The soldiers managed to capture Master Unduli and take her away to their lair, where she was forced to submit to a brain worm by Queen Karina.

Buzz Droid
This insectile combat droid, distinguished by the two hemispherical repulsorlift engines that propelled it, was developed by the Colicoid Creation Nest for the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the height of the Clone Wars. Officially, these droids were known as Pistoeka Sabotage Droids, and were named for their resemblance to the pisto of Colla IV. Unlike other combat droids used in space battles by the Separatists, the buzz droid was not able to deploy independently, as it lacked the primary thrusters needed to move about in a battle. Rather, it was launched from a Tri-fighter or other vessel in a specialized discord missile. When stored in the missile, the hemispheres of the buzz droid were connected, giving it the appearance of a complete sphere. When the missile was fired at a target, it simply cracked open prior to impact, deploying its payload of buzz droids to attack the starfighters of the Old Republic. Once connected to a target, the buzz droid unfolded, extending legs and weaponry to move about and destroy key components of a ship. The unfolding operation gave rise to the nickname melon droids, since they seemed to split open like a ripe melon. The legs of the buzz droid were equipped with a variety of tools, including metal-cutting saws, a plasma torch, a drill head, grappling hooks, and magnetic grippers that allowed them to hang onto moving starfighters. A pair of photoreceptors, coupled with a rangefinder, gave the buzz droid excellent visual sensors. In order to increase the effectiveness of the buzz droids, Darth Sidious provided the Separatists with the plans and schematics for the Old Republic's starships, often before the starships were even put into service. These schematics were loaded into the buzz droid's memory banks, allowing them to quickly determine the weak points of a given ship and make swift attacks before they could be destroyed. In the wake of the Clone Wars, many buzz droids were simply dismantled and scrapped. A few found their way to planets like Ronyards and Junction, where they were assigned the task of breaking down larger droids for spare parts. A few were pressed into service as gladiator droids, using their small size and array of weapons to take down larger combat droids. Black Sun hoped to acquire a shipment of buzz droids that could be reprogrammed to serve in vehicle and starship chop shops.

Bwahl
This Hutt was considered ugly even by Hutt standards. Bwahl's skin was a dingy gray color, and he was missing an eye. Bwahl often employed independent shippers like Kaj Nedmak and Celia Durasha, in an effort to move merchandise without getting involved directly with the law. Kaj owed Bwahl a large sum of credits, after he dumped a cargo in the Gordian Reach. Bwahl forgave him, since Kaj was otherwise reliable, but the debt remained unpaid, so Kaj was forced to work it off. Kaj later decided to pay off all his debts by double-crossing Bwahl. He planned to use a shipment of Bwahl's weapons to pay off a debt to Rass M'Guy, then run enough spice to quickly pay back Bwahl. However, Bwahl discovered his plans, and sent out his agents to capture or kill him.

The Jedi had been searching for clues as to the location of Darth Malak, and had just finished fighting their way through a Sith base in Ahto City when they were arrested. The Jedi, however, were unsure of Bwa'lass and his abilities to represent them, and took up their own defense. Ultimately, the Jedi were able to prove that they were at the Sith base to locate a group of kidnapped Selkath youths, and were released rfom prison.

B-Wing
The B-Wing - short for blade wing - starfighter weas designed by Admiral Ackbar and the Verpine colonies of Slayn & Korpil as part of the Shantipole Project, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. In flight, the B-Wing resembled a flying cross, with the coockpit at the top, the retractable wings at the sides, and the stabilizing fuselage hanging below. In flight during combat, however, the B-Wing handled best when flown in a "horizontal" position, with the wings pointing up and down. Weaponry included laser weapons at the top and bottom of the ship, with emplacements that allowed for customization of the total firepower and payload. When fully armed, a B-Wing was considered as well-armed as most Imperial corvettes.
The cockpit placement was one of the most distinctive features of the B-Wing, as it was gyroscopically levelled by a unique stabilization mechanism that allowed the entire ship to rotate around the cockpit, while keeping the pilot "upright." This system was difficult to maintain, and often left a pilot disoriented if it locked up during combat. To prevent any loss of life in these situations, the rear of the B-Wing cockpit was equipped with a small sublight engine, allowing the cockpit to be disengaged and used as an escape pod. Propulsion was provided by a Quadex Kyromaster stardrive, located at the center of the cross. The entire ship measured 16.9 meters from the top of the cockpit to the tail end of the fuselage.
Originally designed without a hyperdrive, the B-Wing was later updated to include a hyperdrive and limited navcomp capabilities, providing enough computational ability to perform two hyperspace jumps before the navcomp required recalibration. The B-Wing could attain speeds of 950 kilometers per hour in an atmosphere, and was been rated at 90 MGLT in open space. The B-Wing was equipped with active and passive sensors, a single laser cannon, two proton torpedo launchers, three fire-linked medium ion cannons, and two auto-blasters. The single laser cannon could be fired at low power in continuous mode, doing no damage but acting as a near-perfect targetting mechanism. While this made the B-wing a very effective fighter, it also allowed the enemy to effectively target the B-wing in return.
In its standard version, a B-Wing was equipped with the following components:
Although the B-Wing was often associated with the forces of the Alliance and the New Republic, many of these starfighters made their way in the Wing Swarm of the Colony, after many Verpine decided to join the Colony in its struggle against the Chiss.

B-Wing Shuttle
This version of Slayn & Korpil's B-Wing fighter was given a larger cockpit than the B-Wing/E or B-Wing/E2, allowing for a pilot and two passengers.
(SSOG)
B-Wing/E
This modification to the original Slayn & Korpil B-Wing design - known as the B-Wing Expanded - was first proposed by Admiral Ackbar and the Verpine after the Battle of Yavin. The B-Wing Expanded had an elongated cockpit that allowed a a gunner to assist the pilot on missions. This allowed the pilot to concentrate on piloting, and resulted in the B-Wing accounting for an increased number of kills in battle. It was faster and tougher than the original B-Wing, but was somewhat less maneuverable. There were two models of B-Wing/E: the first was simply a military ship, while the second generation (known as the B-Wing/E2) was designed as a personal military shuttle. Ackbar used one of these E2-designs as his own shuttle, which he was forced to crash on the planet Vortex after it had been tampered with by Terpfen.
(EGV)
B-Wing/E2
This was a new version of the two-man B-Wing, produced for the New Republic shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. The second member of the crew was a dedicated gunner, which allowed the pilot to concentrate on flying the ship and taking advantage of its durability.

Bwua'tu, Nek
This Bothan was born into relative obscurity on the colony world of Ruweln, during the early years of the New Order. After being trained as an officer for many years, Bwua'tu served in the military of both the New Republic and the Galactic Alliance, surviving the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy and earning a promotion to Admiral several years after the alien invaders were defeated. However, because he was promoted to Admiral during the relative peace that followed the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, Bwua'tu was not promoted on his abilities in the heat of combat. Instead, he was promoted because he was the only being to ever defeat the Thrawn Simulator. This didn't diminish his standing in the eyes of his subordinate officers, especially the Bothans among them.
A distinguished looking individual, Bwua'tu was identified by his weathered face and graying chin hair. Those who didn't know him would have sid Admiral Bwua'tu was somewhat vain, surrounding himself with statuary that honored himself and his Bothan heritage. However, he was a shrewd commander who knew how to use the assets of his team. After reaching the rank of Admiral, Bwua'tu was given command of the Fifth Fleet, and was aboard the Admiral Ackbar when it was dispatched to blockade the Utegetu Nebula.
A dominating figure, Bwuat'tu demanded loyalty from his commander, Gavin Darklighter, but was open to suggestions and input from other beings. Like many other military officers, Admiral Bwua'tu considered the Force to be nothing more than sorcery, until he witnessed the value of the battle meld first-hand, during the defense of the Murgo Choke against the Gorog. However, Bwua'tu and his crew were unprepared for the suicidal attack of UnuThul's frigate, which rammed the Admiral Ackbar with just enough force to open her hull and allow boarders to swarm inside. Rather than risk the lives of his crew, Bwua'tu called for all hands to abandon ship, and the Admiral Ackbar was lost to the Killiks. The mission succeeded, though, in keeping the Gorog nest ship and ten others trapped within the Utegetu Nebula.
After he was recovered and taken aboard the Mon Mothma, Admiral Bwua'tu ordered all remaining ships to fire on the Killik nest ships, hoping to eliminate as much of the Colony as he could. Although the Admiral Ackbar was lost, Admiral Bwua'tu remained in command of the Galactic Alliance's forces at the Utegetu Nebula, and his knowledge of the Colony's tactics proved invaluable when Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker launched his final attack on UnuThul and Lomi Plo.
In the wake of the Swarm War, Admiral Bwua'tu remained loyal to the Galactic Alliance, despite the growing frustration of his fellow Bothans, having sworn a vow of krevi to the Alliance. He was regularly asked by the Bothawui government to resign his commission and return to Bothan Space, and he always refused. His patience proved valuable to the Galactic Alliance, when it was learned that the Heritage Council of the Hapes Consortium planned an attack on Hapes itself, in an effort to eliminate Tenel Ka and assume control for themselves. Jacen Solo and the Anakin Solo were already at Hapes, so Admiral Bwua'tu and his fleet were ordered into position to assist the Hapan Royal Navy. Rather than making a direct run at the battle, however, Bwua'tu kept his fleet hidden behind the moon Megos, until he could attack the Heritage Fleet with the element of surprise. This gambit worked as well as could be expected, and Hapes was allowed to remain under the control of the Queen Mother, Tenel Ka.
For his role at Hapes, Admiral Bwua'tu was given command of the First and Sixth Fleets of the Galactic Alliance, and was charged with harrassing the Corellian and Bothan fleets of The Confederation. He was also the chief tactician for the Galactic Alliance's defense of the Kuat System, shortly after the loss of Balmorra. The plan called for no fewer than five fleets of warships, including the Hapan Home Fleet, to participate in various stages of the battle, in an effort to draw the enemy in and trap them in the system. His ability to predict the actions of The Confederation's ships earned him the approval of the Jedi Knights who participated in Kuat's defense, many of whom felt he had to have a connection to the Force in order to be so accurate.
What neither Bwua'tu or Jacen Solo predicted was the defection of the Jedi Order, when Grand Master Luke Skywalker took his Jedi squadrons and left the battlezone. Solo then commandered the Fifth Fleet, and left Kuat in the Anakin Solo to track the down the Jedi. This meant that Bwua'tu's original battle plan had to be revised, and caused the Battle of Kuat to rage for weeks, with both sides taking heavy casualties. Thus, Admiral Bwua'tu was more than happy to learn that Supreme Commander Cha Niathal ordered him to remain at Kuat, and refuse to provide reinforcements to Solo at Kashyyyk. When Admiral Niathal tried to relieve Jacen Solo of his command at the Second Battle of Fondor and was subsequently forced to flee, Admiral Bwua'tu became the pre-eminent military officer in the Galactic Alliance. Solo, who had taken on the title of Darth Caedus, ordered him to track down the fleets that had harassed his actions at the Nickel One asteroid and destroy them. Admiral Bwua'tu later sent word that he had eliminated Niathal's small fleet of defectors, and had trapped the Corellian and Bothan fleets near Carbos Thirteen.
However, after Caedus was destroyed and the Imperial Moffs surrendered to Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker, Admiral Bwua'tu was forced to stand down and break off his attacks. He was offered the chance to assume the role of Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance, but he politely refused in order to remain a military man. He suggested that Admiral Daala might be a better choice for the job.

He had a habit of speaking with a slow drawl, which made it appear that he was choosing his words as he spoke them, as if he were afraid of saying the wrong thing. Tonith resented the fact that B'wuf refused to think of battles as business affairs, escpecially when B'wuf began questioning the battle plan for the capture and control of the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn, some two and a half years after the Battle of Geonosis. When B'wuf's protests became too vocal, Tonith ordered a pair of battle droids to shoot him dead if tried to get up from his post. After Tonith surrendered to Anakin Skywalker, B'wuf feared for his life - both from the Republic's forces and from Tonith's droids - but remained seated until Tonith released him.

Byrne City
The capital city of the planet Demophon, located on the continent of Junno. Like most of Demophon's cities, it was domed to keep out the planet's harsh atmosphere. When the system's star started to go supernova, the domes became more than a necessity. It was linked, via underground tunnels, to most of the other cities on Junno. It was also the site of Byrneport, the planet's primary spaceport.

Byrom
This aging man was once a soldier, until he left the life of a military man and settled on Molavar with his wife, Ensa, several years before the Battle of Naboo. Byrom had fought in more than his fair share of battles, and the cybernetic prosthesis that replaced his left leg served as a constant reminder of his service. He had fought both alongside and against the Jedi, but knew enough about them to count them among the few beings he trusted in the galaxy. Upon retiring, Byrom and Ensa both wanted to live a simpler life, and moisture farming on Molavar provided them with a chance to escape from the chaos of military life. They lived happily for a while, until Sleeth started demanding protection money from the neigboring moistures farms. Byrom had all he could do to provide for himself and Ensa, without having to worry about Sleeth's predations. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Byrom was surprised to find Darca Nyl on his land. The former soldier had stepped on one of the landmines protecting Byrom's land, and Byrom decided that Darca was not going to cause him any trouble. He welcomed Nyl into his home, only to have the Jedi interfere in his dealings with Sleeth. Although he vowed to defend his homestead, Byrom feared that he would be no match for Sleeth's small army. He was therefore surprised when Nyl arranged for Tooth and his band of nomads to appear on Byrom's farm, shortly after Sleeth and Magon arrived to demand the deed to the farm. Tooth's nomads far outnumbered Magon's forces, and the crimelord was forced to retreat back to Malcraan. Byrom was happy to have Tooth's help and support, and gladly allowed Tooth's nomads to make their home on his lands.

Byrothsis
This unusual, crystalline mineral was extremely rare. In ancient times, a Jedi Knight would sometimes use a byrothsis crystal in the construction of their lightsaber. In more modern times, byrothsis was used to build infrared camera lenses, but its high price forced camera manufacturers to charge large sums of credits for their cameras. ResSystems discovered how to create synthetic byrothsis, and allowed the use of the element in more esoteric applications.

Byrsym
This planet was located near Daimar, in the Mid Rim of the galaxy. Byrsym orbited relatively close to its primary star, making it a hot world during the day. The heat forced the natives to remain indoors during the day, but the nights on the planet were cool enough for most regular activities. This meant that the nightlife on Byrsym was quite vibrant and often exciting. It was one of the first worlds to feel the might of the Galactic Empire, because it was placed under Imperial control shortly after the end of the Clone Wars. This did not sit well with the native population, which was largely non-human.

Byrt
This public starferry was one of the many starships trapped on Coruscant when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the planet, some two years after their initial invasion of the galaxy. In the chaof of the evacuation efforts, C-3PO and Ben Skywalker were separated from Han and Leia Organa Solo, who had been trying to reach the Millennium Falcon. The droid was bustled aboard the Byrt with Ben in his arms, and only a valiant rescue effort by Lando Calrissian managed to keep Ben from being captured by the Yuuzhan Vong.

Byss
The primary planet in the binary star system of Abyss and Byss, and the homeworld of the Abyssin race. It was an arid world, with isolated pockets of fertile ground. The planet's surface was baked when it rotates in between the two stars in a strange figure-eight orbit. This requires that the Abyssin continually move to the more fertile areas. The planet's plant life had also adapted the ability to send out large taproots to collect any available water.

Byss
This planet was located in the Deep Core, and was incredibly strong with the Dark Side of The Force. Originally used as a private retreat for the Emperor Palpatine, it was touted as a paradise. Much of its surface was covered with tranquil lakes, and it was lit with an unusual blue-green sunlight. Thus, Palpatine was able to get millions of people to voluntarily bring their life energies to the planet. Once they were there, Palpatine enslaved them by using the Dark Side of the Force, feeding the growing evil that existed on the planet. He then built it into a model of a society that was ruled by the Dark Side. The reborn Emperor used the planet as his stronghold for his cloning activities, and for the source of his power during his resurrection. However, the decades of existence within the grip of the Dark Side of the Force took its toll on the planet's ecosystem, which eventually transformed into an eerie environment that literally glowed with energy when seen from orbit. At the height of Emperor Palpatine's rule, Byss was protected by an entire sector fleet that patrolled the Byss Security Zone. Byss was destroyed when the New Republic launched an assault on the Emperor's stronghold, shortly after the destruction of Da Soocha V. In the midst of the attack, the Emperor ordered his fleets back to Byss to protect it. Unfortunately, the Eclispe II emerged from hyperspace too close to the Galaxy Gun and rammed the superweapon, cleaving it in two. The crew of the Galaxy Gun attemtped to fire one of its missile, but their targetting systems failed and the missile struck Byss. In a cataclysmic explosion, Byss tore itself apart, wiping out the entire Imperial fleet. Byss had a normal day of 31 standard hours, and a year which lasted 207 local days. The planet was orbited by five moons.

Byus was one of the charter members of the Black Hole Team, and was one of the most knowledgeable Sullustans in SoroSuub, at least when it came to knowing what was going on in the corporation. Byus himself was not listed in the corporate directory, and he never revealed who his superior officers were in SoroSuub. He also never seemed to be busy, but maintained a high level of secrecy about what he was actually doing.
