D
This was the alias used by an unknown human agent who was working in the criminal underground of Tolea Biqua, in the Cularin System, during the height of the Clone Wars. Many believed that D was actually working for Riboga, who was trying to unseat Nirama and re-establish himself as the dominant crimelord in the system. Among the criminal elements of Cularin, it was also believed that D was secretly working to unseat both Nirama and Riboga, to take over Cularin for himself.

D-127X
This Alliance probe droid was operating as a sentry in the Atrivis Sector, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. D-127X was deployed to the Oplovis Sector of the galaxy to secretly monitor the communications and data that was flowing over the Imperial networks in the sector, in an effort to gather intelligence on the Oplovis Sector Fleet and its movements. While on patrol, D-127X was spotted by an Imperial picket ship that was setting off to flank the main fleet, as part of a larger offensive planned against the Alliance forces in the Atrivis Sector. D-127X realized that it could not outrun the picket ship, so it fired off its messenger droids, sending them back to the Atrivis Sector Force. Before the picket ship could capture it, D-127X wiped its memory core and self-destructed.

Da Soocha
This planet was located in the Cyax System, and was orbitted by five moons. In the Huttese language, Da Soocha meant "walking planet." It was a water-covered world, which lended some credence to the Hutt legends of the Cyax system including a planet with an intelligent, godlike ocean. However, from all initial probes, Da Soocha's ocean was as normal as any other ocean. Admiral Ackbar had planned to rescue his fellow Mon Calamari from the Emperor's World Devastators by transporting them to Da Soocha.
(DE1, DESB, EGP)
Da Soocha 5
This world was Da Soocha's fifth moon, and the site of the New Republic's Pinnacle Base. It was chosen for the Pinnacle Base following the outbreak of the Imperial Civil War and the Republic's flight from Coruscant, primarily because its location was unknown to everyone but the Hutts. It was called the Pinnacle Moon because of its unique landscape. The huge gravitational pull of Da Soocha created large tidal forces on the moon. These tides eventually washed away all loose sediment, revealing huge spires of rock that were spewed from volcanoes eons ago. These pinnacles became the home of the Ixlls. The moon was destroyed by the resurrected Emperor Palpatine when he fired his Galaxy Gun at the moon, in an effort to eradicate the New Republic.

Daal, Raymas
This small-time criminal operated on the planet Naboo, during the period leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Daal was contacted by the Trade Federation's secret agents, and was supplied with funds to hire freelance mercenaries to help knock out Naboo's communications relays, in order to isolate Naboo during the Federation's invasion of the planet. Once the relays were knocked out, the Federation could deploy its jamming satellites in orbit, effectively cutting Naboo off from the rest of the galaxy. Although ultimately successful in hiring the freelancers, Daal was later captured by the Naboo Royal Security Force and detained for questioning.

Daala, Natasi
This strikingly beautiful woman, distinguished by her green eyes and molten-copper hair, served as an Imperial Navy Admiral, and was placed in charge of the Maw Installation during the height of the New Order. She was educated at the Academy on Carida, and excelled at everything her teachers could throw at her. Unfortunately, being female in the Imperial Navy meant that she was constantly overlooked for promotions and awards. This angered her, but she chose to strike back silently, creating an alter ego for herself in the Academy's computers. Her alias quickly became known as one of the Empire's brightest naval minds, and even Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin took notice. When he arrived at Carida to take this military prodigy under his wing, he was stymied by the fact that the physical person did not exist. He dug deeper into the computer records and discovered Daala's ruse. Though he was Imperial to the core, Tarkin realized that her genius could no longer be wasted. He took Daala with him as a personal attache, and promoted her in the field. Her promotion to Admiral was presented by Grand Moff Tarkin himself, and Palpatine may have been unaware of it. No other female was known to have held such a high position in the Imperial armed forces, although Daala was careful to ground herself and rarely thought of taking control of the Imperial Navy.
Given her proximity to Tarkin, it was inevitable that Daala would become his lover, and she remained loyal to him throughout her career. She was placed in command of the Gorgon, the flagship Star Destroyer that led the small fleet guarding the Maw Installation. During the height of the New Order, Daala sometimes visited Tarkin aboard the first Death Star, where they covered their romantic trysts with explanations of strategy sessions and other navy business. During the attack of the freighter Fortressa, Admiral Daala was injured when a squadron of X-Wings fired on her ship. Tarkin had his medical staff take care of her injuries, which included some brain trauma and a loss of certain memories, then sent her back to the Maw Installation to prevent another injury. Once back at the Maw, Daala waited for ten years for Tarkin to return. Cut off from the outside galaxy, Daala was unaware of Tarkin's death at the Battle of Yavin, and had no information on the Emperor's defeat at the Battle of Endor. Thus, when the Maw Installation was discovered by Han Solo and Kyp Durron, she was forced into action against a vast, unknown enemy and with limited, outdated resources. She never had any aspriations of taking control of the galaxy, and her initial strikes against the New Republic were tactically successful but ultimately ineffectual, as she lost three-quarters of her fleet in the process.
She destroyed and then abandoned the Maw Installation before taking the Gorgon and fleeing to the Deep Core. She spent many months hiding from the New Republic while trying to unite the various Imperial warlords who also hid in the Deep Core, squabbling amongst themselves over control of the dwindling Imperial remnant. Much of her new forces was made up of pirates and thugs, commanded by those Imperial officers who chose not to follow Admiral Pellaeon when he traveled Rimward to reform the Empire. Daala eventually met up with Pellaeon again, and the two of them executed the warlords in a summit meeting that was supposed to bring them all together. The mass executions were Daala's last resort, but she chose to do it. Admiral Daala then took command of the combined Imperial fleet, and set out to eliminate the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. She also arranged for part of her fleet to take out a number of important New Republic locations. Her plans nearly succeeded, but the combined might of the Jedi Knights and the New Republic proved too much for her fleet. The seventeen ships under Pellaeon were physically flung from the system; Cronus' ships were dispersed on secondary missions; and her own flagship, the Knight Hammer, was sabotaged by Callista before she could claim ultimate victory. Daala evacuated the ship as it plunged into the core of Yavin, and was rescued by Pellaeon's ships at the fringes of the system.
Once aboard Pellaeon's ship, Daala resigned her rank as Admiral and turned the fleet over to Pellaeon. She re-appeared on Cybloc XII, shortly after the Death Seed plague had wiped out the New Republic forces there. She found R2-D2 and C-3PO among the decomposing bodies. She had been retired on Pedducis Chorios, but was offered an advisory position by the piratical warlords that ruled the planet. She hoped that the droids would reveal information on the battle in the Meridian Sector, but was dismayed to learn that Moff Getelles was among the combatants. She detested his condescending ways, and agreed to help out the New Republic by attacking Getelles. In the aftermath, she was reunited with Liegeus, and the two returned to her outpost on Pedducis Chorios. Daala made another series of attacks on the New Republic after the Black Fleet Crisis was resolved, having gathered a small force of Imperial defectors upon her return to the Deep Core. Her efforts were once again thwarted, and Daala was forced to blind-jump her starship Scylla into hyperspace. In the following years, she and Liegeus were blessed with a son, who grew up and built his own family. She hated the Moff Council for arranging to have Liegeus murdered, but remained loyal to Gilad Pellaeon. She spent the following five years gathering evidence against the Moffs, in order to one day exact her revenge on them. Despite being hidden away for so many years, Admiral Daala maintained a connection to the rest of the galaxy, and was well aware of the situation when the Galactic Alliance launched its war against The Confederation.
More than twenty-five years later, she answered Pellaeon's call to assist the Imperial Remnant's mission to aid the Galactic Alliance in capturing the planet Fondor. Only Pellaeon was aware of Daala's existence, and he planned to keep her naval force a secret until they were needed. She now wore an eye-patch, although the reason for it was kept secret. Just as her own part in the Fondor assault was kept a secret, Daala kept her own contingency plans a secret. She hired Boba Fett and a group of Mandalorians to join her force as a backup, in case she needed extra firepower in the coming fight. Pellaeon kept Daala's Maw Irregular Fleet out of the fighting until necessary, which allowed her to arrive with the element of surprise on her side. The order to join the fighting came after Jacen Solo went rogue, breaking away from the battle plan to attack Fondor's cities. Pellaeon ordered the Imperials to followed the orders of Admiral Cha Niathal, and to prevent Solo from breaking the cease-fire Niathal had negotiated with the Fondorian President, Shas Vadde. When Solo refused to abide by the cease-fire, the Galactic Alliance forces splintered. Pellaeon was assassinated by Tahiri Veila, who had been aboard the Bloodfin as Jacen Solo's liaison, forcing Daala to call in Fett and the Mandalorians to ensure that the Imperials didn't set off on their own agenda. Fett's forces boarded the Bloodfin to find that Vitor Reige and the rest of the crew had munitied, trapping Tahiri and the Moffs in the command center. In the firefight that ensued, the Mandalorians killed the Moffs, prompting Daala to quip that she wanted a discount because Fett didn't leave them to her.
In the wake of the fighting, Daala spent several days working with Vitor Reige to arrange for Gilad Pellaeon to buried on his homeworld of Corellia. She then traveled to Mandalore to thank Boba Fett for his part in the battle. She revealed to Fett that her first name was Natasi, and that she had been born in the Renatasia System. She then agreed to accompany him to the wedding of his granddaughter, Mirta Gev. In the weeks that followed, Admiral Daala remained on the sidelines of the fighting, waiting to see what would happen before deciding on a course of action. With the death of Darth Caedus and the surrender of the Imperial Moffs, Daala was surprised to be offered the chance to take on the role of Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance. She had been recommended for the job by Admiral Nek Bwua'tu, and agreed to do what she could to rebuild the galaxy. One of the only conditions she required was that the Imperial Moff Council allow females to serve as Moffs.
In the months and years that followed, Daala alternately received praise and criticism for her efforts to rebuild the galaxy. The Mon Calamari people openly denounced her, since Daala had once tried to destroy their homeworld. Other races welcomed her messages of community and non-isolationism, and Daala vowed not to repeat the mistakes made by prior leaders. She found a major stumbling point with the new Jedi Order, believing that the Jedi were no longer needed in a government that was fundamentally just. Her distrust of the Jedi Order only increased when Valin Horn and his sister, Jysella, began acting strangely, and threatened the safety of the Galactic Alliance. Despite the protests of the Jedi, Valin Horn was incarcerated and encased in carbonite, in order to prevent him from causing more trouble. Daala refused to even allow the Jedi to talk with Jysella after she was captured, and ordered her to be encased in carbonite as well. Her frustration with the Jedi Order only increased when reporter Javis Tyrr revealed stolen footage that proved Seff Hellin was in the custody of the Jedi. Tyrr's report implicated the Jedi in various illicit dealings, but he also questioned Daala's role in leading the Galactic Alliance, hinting that she might even be in league with the Jedi.
As more and more Jedi began to lash out in public, Daala took it upon herself to make sure that she remained in control of the situation. Any Jedi who was apprehended by the Galactic Alliance Security force was immediately encased in carbonite, and GAS officers were given orders to apprehend any other Jedi who appeared to be acting strangely. When the Jedi circumvented attempts to have GAS forces take affected Jedi captive, Daala established a set of judicial leaders who were assigned solely to cases involving the Jedi Order. Judges such as Arabelle Lorteli were appointed to the so-called "Jedi court" and ordered to do anything within the law to ensure that the Jedi were put in their place, and rumors began to surface that claimed Daala was going to hire a company of Mandalorians to deal with the Jedi "problem". Daala went so far as to have Tahiri Veila arrested in connection with the death of Gilad Pellaeon, hoping to further damage the reputation of the Jedi Order. However, she was opposed by various factions, not the least of which was the Imperial Remnant's Chief of State, Jagged Fel, who refused to allow Daala to incriminate the Jedi on the simple grounds that she did not understand them. Daala agreed to consider Fel's suggestion that she abandon her vendetta against the Jedi and simply hold them to the same laws as other citizens, but she had no intentions of making good on her promise to bring the Jedi Order under her control.
Daala's actions were brought into question when it was learned that the carbonite-frozen bodies of Valin and Jysella Horn were being displayed like trophies at a Galactic Alliance prison facility. The press were alerted to this, and swept in to question anyone who was involved. Daala tried to deflect any blame by accusing the Jedi of using "mind tricks" to sway an already weak-minded judge to sign a writ that allowed the Jedi to visit the Horns in prison. However, Javis Tyrr explained that the writ had been signed by Arabelle Lorteli, the judge who had been hand-picked by Daala herself. Daala refused to admit to any wrongdoings, but vowed to punish those who had mistreated the Horn siblings. She also made a thinly-veiled threat to the Jedi, reminding them to be especially careful to obey the laws of the Galactic Alliance.

Because of the planet's strong winds, dactillions only ventured out into the open during calm periods. Utai historians showed that the dactillions were tamed as mounts shortly after the varactyls, by clever individuals who lured dactillions into cages with offers of fresh meat. Over time, trained dactillions allowed the Utapauns to travel swiftly beyond their sinkholes, to explore the surface of their homeworld. Dactillion-mounted Utai also became part of the planet's primary defense force, and were instrumental during the Clone Wars in securing their cities.
The average dactillion measured some six meters in height when standing upright, and had a wingspan of twenty-four meters. The long beak of the dactillion was tipped with two sharp spikes, which it used to spear its food as well as for defense.

Dactyl
This yellow ammonia crystal was vital to the survival of Arconans who were away from their homeworld. Dactyl was used as a dietary supplement to stave off the effects of low-ammonia atmospheres. Even short periods of time without a regular supply of ammonia will kill an Arconan, so a steady source of dactyl was maintained during travel.

Dade, Herron
This man served as a General in the armed forces of the planet Gandle Ott, during the early years of the New Republic. General Dade was the commander of the planet's military forces, and was one of the many who felt that the Empire had not done the planet - or Kathol Sector, for that matter - any favors. He was also a skilled diplomat, and stepped into the limelight when the crew of the FarStar landed on Gandle Ott, during their search for Moff Kentor Sarne.

Dade, Lilla
A scout in Page's Commandos, her job was to drop behind enemy lines and open a path for the rest of the team. Page considered her probably the best Pathfinder in the entire Special Operations division, which led to her selection as the primary infiltrator placed on Kal'Shebbol, shortly before the New Republic assaulted Moff Kentor Sarne's stronghold there. Years later, Lilla had maintained her standing with the New Republic military, and remained one of their best trackers. She was part of the assault team dispatched to Ylesia to ferret out and capture the leaders of the Peace Brigade, some time after the Second Battle of Coruscant.

Dadeferron, Dixon
A native of Kail, Dixen was Torm's father. He was turned into the Corporate Sector police force by Torm for infractions loosely based on the land-use disputes between the Dadeferron family and the Authority. Torm's real motivation was to gain control of the Kail Ranges.
(CSA)
Dadeferron, Torm
A native of the planet Kail, Torm and his family were independent landowners within the Corporate Sector. Torm himself was distinguished by his good looks, which were punctuated by his piercing blue eyes and his red hair. He was jealous of the power his father held as the owner of the Kail Ranges, and wanted it for himself. When his family became involved in a series of land-use disputes with the Corporate Sector Authority, Torm was approached by Authority agents and offered the chance to own the Ranges outright if he would convict his father of some wrong-doing. Torm agreed, and soon his father, Dixon, and his brother, Trevim, were arrested and removed from Kail. Torm's involvement with the Authority didn't end there. He joined up with Rekkon, ostensibly in an effort to locate his father and brother who had "suddenly disappeared" after the land-use battle. However, this story was just a cover for his real work as an Authority operative whose mission it was to infiltrate Rekkon's group and eliminate it. Torm succeeded in killing Rekkon aboard the Millennium Falcon, and later learned of the location of Stars' End when Rekkon wrote it down as he died. Torm was later discovered by Han Solo as Rekkon's killer, after Han tricked him into revealing the true location of Stars' End, which was information only Rekkon and Han were supposed to know. After a brief struggle, Han managed to get Torm into an airlock and ejected him into outer space without a pressure suit.

Captain Dadefra was in command of the Victory-class Star Destroyer Bombard at the time of the attack. Upon entering the Khuiumin system, Captain Dadefra sent his own fighters out in the first wave of attacks on the pirates, while he kept the Crusader and her fighters at the rear of the engagement.
When the Eyttyrmin Batiivs launched their corvettes to attack the Star Destroyers, Captain Dadefra utilized the tractor beams on his Victory-class Star Destroyers to hold the pirates' corvettes at bay, while spacetroopers boarded them and killed the occupants. He then started lang-range jamming, cutting the smaller pirate ships off from their commands. The Star Destroyers then opened fire at will, following turbolasers with an intense concussion missile barrage launched at the surface of the planet Khuiumin. The Imperials sustained just eighty-six casualties while wiping out nearly 7,800 of the pirates.
After the success of the mission, the fifty-three-year-old Dadefra was promoted to the command of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Brazen, and dispatched to Elrood Sector to wipe out the rebellion and piracy which sprang up after the Battle of Yavin. He spent a great deal of time disciplining Captains Pryl and Zed, working to defuse their rivalry in order to center their efforts on destroying the Alliance. When the Brazen was ambushed by pirates, Dadefra managed to limp back to Derilyn for repairs. Unfortunately, the Alliance was able to destroy the Brazen. It was unknown if Dadefra was aboard the ship when it exploded.

Dado
This young boy, a native of the settlement of Noua, on the planet Telerath, decided to sign up for one of the gladiator events that might earn him a place among the slaver gang that had taken over the settlement, during the era of the Clone Wars. Dado was waiting his turn to participate when he met Dass Jennir, but Demanna, the gang's enforcer, refused to fight him. Demanna told Dado to return to his life as a fisherman, but Dado had made up his mind. He drew his banged-up sword from its scabbard, prompting Demanna to draw his own blade in defense, but Jennir shot the weapon from Demanna's hands with a blaster. Demanna's men were similarly disarmed, but the last one managed to fire his blaster at Jennir, in clear violation of Telerath's Sword Law. Demanna killed the other Chagrian for his failure to abide by the rules, but then sliced off Dado's right arm as a lesson to remember his place in the society of Noua.

Daeshara'cor
This Twi'leki female was one of the first of her species to attend Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4. As a child, she was orphaned when her mother was enslaved, and she spent a lot of time in starports, talking to pilots and learning how to exist outside society's mainstream. Daeshara'cor never forgot the loss of her mother. After joing the praxeum, she struggled mightily with her training, though she believed that Luke's trainings were being lost on Kyp Durron. Daeshara'cor, however, still harbored anger over the loss of her mother, which eventually led her down a path toward the Dark Side of the Force. Shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong first invaded the galaxy, Daeshara'cor was given the mission to determine if any data files from the Maw Installation survived its destruction. After learning how the Yuuzhan Vong enslaved other beings and turned them into mindless slaves, she chose not to board the ship and began her own search for a superweapon to destroy the Vong. She planned to travel to Vortex, hoping to lead the Jedi away from her path. However, Anakin Solo and Chalco located her on Garos IV. Daeshara'cor was forced to capture them and hold them ransom. Anakin, with Chalco's help, managed to escape and capture Daeshara'cor, and they returned her to the Jedi gathered on Ithor. She apologized for her actions, and was eventually forgiven by Master Skywalker. She later fought side by side with Anakin in the Battle of Ithor, but in the end she was mortally poisoned by the bite of a Yuuzhan Vong amphistaff. Anakin despaired that he could do nothing to save her. As her life expired, Daeshara'cor gave herself up to the Force, and her physical form disappeared.

This team of starfighter pilots was formed in the months that followed the Battle of Yavin, with the original purpose of testing out the new B-Wing starfighters that were being produced for the Alliance's naval forces. Under the command of Lieutenant Pollard, Dagger Squadron was made up of largely untested pilots who spent more time in simulators that in open space. However, then the Rebel One was detained near Bannistar Station, Lieutenant Pollard quickly recommended his squadron for a rescue mission. He pointed out to Admiral Ackbar that the B-Wings were the only starfighters capable of getting past the station's defenses, rescuing the rebel team, and escaping, despite the fact that the B-Wings had not yet flown an actual com bat mission. Ackbar eventually agreed to the plan, since it was the only way to rescue Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa, and the rest of the strike team before they were shipped off to Coruscant for interrogation. Pollard and his squadron put their B-Wings through their paces in the assault, dodging Imperial starfighters while carrying out bombing runs on a Star Destroyer that was docked at the station. Their mission was ultimately successful, and Pollard was quick to volunteer for a mission to warn the planet Ansion of a possible Imperial attack.

Dagger, The
Developed by Mercevian Nagua - and often known as the Mercevian Nagua Manevuer - this pirate tactic involved the use of a saboteur to disable a target ship's hyperdrive at a specific time, bringing the ship out of hyperspace near a pirate fleet. It was a risky maneuver for the agent placed aboard the target ship, because being discovered often meant certain death. A variation of this maneuver had the saboteur actually seize control of the bridge and bring the ship out of hyperspace themself, delivering it to the pirate fleet.

Dagobah
The primary world in the Dagobah system, this swamp planet was home to Yoda in the years following the Jedi Purge. It was located in the Sluis sector, some 50,250 light-years from the galactic core. Several colony ships tried to establish settlements on Dagobah, but the swamps proved too dangerous or inhospitable to support colonization. A few survivors managed to eke out an existence in the swamps, though. Near the end of the Bpfassh Dark Jedi Insurrection, one of the fleeing Dark Jedi hid on Dagobah. No one knows what happened to the Dark Jedi, but it was surmised that he died there. Furthermore, his knowledge of the Dark Side of the Force caused the planet to be bathed in Dark Side energy. This might also explain why the Jedi Master Yoda was able to hide on Dagobah during Palpatine's purge of the Jedi, since his Light Side strength would have been masked by the amount of Dark Side energy on the planet. The planet's day lasted 23 standard hours, and its year was 341 local days long.

This lush planet was located in the Mid Rim, in the same sector as the planet Rodia. The native human population was noted for its ability to merge the ideals of the ancient world with modern technologies, creating an environment that was classically beautiful, yet technologically advanced. Daimar was ruled by a hereditary monarchy, with the King being the final arbiter for all planetary decisions. The planet sat along the Rodian Trade Routes, which meant that it saw regular traffic from ships moving to and from Rodia, especially from human spacers who were not willing to do business directly with the Rodians. This meant that the Daimarans and the Rodians were often at odds with each other, and this tension soon escalated into a series of skirmishes that became known as the Trade Conflicts. During the early months of the New Order, King Mitar of Daimar refused to submit to Imperial rule, and Emperor Palpatine ordered the orbital bombardment of Daimar.

Adopted as an orphan, Ke Daiv learned that his benefactor's son was prophecied to die in battle. The son was kept away from any form of combat. However, the youth still had to kill a wild feragriff to prove his adulthood, so they were sent to a preserve on one of Coruscant's moons to kill the beast. Unfortunately, the prophecy came true when one of Ke Daiv's shots missed the feragriff and instead killed the other youth. His benefactor cursed him and exiled him. He found work with the Trade Federation as an assassin, and was part of a small group hired to kill Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker as a form of revenge for the Federation's loss of control following the Battle of Naboo. Ke Daiv tried to kill Anakin during a garbage pit race three years after the battle, but failed when Obi-Wan intervened. Ke Daiv was then hired by Wilhuff Tarkin to accompany Raith Sienar to Zonama Sekot. While there, Sienar told Ke Daiv of Tarkin's xenophobia, and tried to get the Blood Carver to work toward his own goals. Ke Daiv agreed with Sienar, and attempted to bond with his own Sekotan starship. However, the lifeforms of the planet rejected him, and Ke Daiv was forced to try and steal the ship acquired by Anakin and Obi-Wan. Ke Daiv failed to obtain the ship, and was killed in battle when Anakin unleashed an intense wave of Force energy at him. It was the first time Anakin had been forced to kill another being with the Force, and he greatly regretted it.

This woman was a member of the navigational crew of the FarStar. Jessa, a former tactical officer and pilot for Moff Kentor Sarne, had been imprisoned by Sarne on Kal'Shebbol after she was discovered trying to obtain information on the DarkStryder project. She was liberated from the prison by Page's Commandos, and signed up to crew on the FarStar as a way to exact revenge on Sarne. She was also implicated as having ties to the underworld by Gorak Khzam, when the Rodian defected from the crew on Uukaablis. During the FarStar's patrol of the Kathol Outback, she suffered strange headaches that suddenly appeared and, often just as suddenly, disappeared. The closer the ship got to the Kathol Rift, the stronger the headaches became. During this time, she also distanced herself from the crew, much to the consternation of Captain Adrimetrum. She also kept secret a good deal of information on Moff Sarne himself, which she discovered during several computer searches while in Sarne's service. When the crew of the FarStar located and recovered the Codex from an alien construct inside the Kathol Rift, Jessa experienced an intense hallucination about a spider-like creature consuming an entire planet before taking her inside its embrace. Unknown even to herself, Jessa was Force-sensitive, and her connection to the Force and her proximity to the DarkStryder technology began playing trickson her mind. After an intense dream, she slipped into a coma and could not be revived until the ship discovered the planet Demonsgate. Then, Jessa suddenly woke up and began ranting about knowing the location of the "DarkStryder Planet" and Moff Sarne's hidden base. Little did Jessa know that she was slowly slipping toward the Dark Side of the Force. When the FarStar arrived on Kathol, Jessa was regarded with awe by the Charr Ontee, who named her the "Sleeper."

Dal, Ghithra
This was a noted Yuuzhan Vong Shaper, working with the forces that invaded the galaxy some twenty-five years after the Battle of Yavin. Ghithra Dal was responsible for ensuring that the radank-claw graft placed on the arm of the Yuuzhan Vong Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, would heal successfully. However, despite his best work, Ghithra Dal was unable to ensure the graft would take. He was later implicated by Viqi Shesh in a plan to discredit the Warmaster. Shesh claimed that the Shapers were working to dethrone the Warmaster and take control of the invasion for their own goals, a claim she backed up by indicating the Warmaster's failing radank claw implant, where the flesh would decay and heal in an unending cycle. Ghithra Dal continued to work on finding a reason for the Warmaster's problem, but was unable to discern any actual cause. The Warmaster no longer trusted his judgement, though, and made sure to track Dal's actions. In an effort to prove that no one could stand against him, Tsavong Lah let loose a herd of wild rancors aboard the Shaper transport ship Fu'ulanh, killing Ghithra Dal and all his compatriots.

The six-breasted female Askajian dancer in Jabba's palace, Yarna was known as one of the greatest dancers on the planet Askaj. Her name, Yarna, meant "beautiful" in her native language. She grew up as the daughter of an Askajian chieftain, and learned to dance for th honor of her tribe. Yarna was captured on her homeworld, along with her husband Nautag and their four cubs, and forced into slavery by Jabba the Hutt. One of her cubs was killed during the capture. Nautag was fed to the rancor for protesting his enslavement, and the remaining three cubs were kept at Jabba's townhouse in order to ensure Yarna's complete acceptance of her slavery. Over time, she became one of Jabba's most favored dancers. Jabba ordered her to wear cosmetic "beauty lumps" on her face, to make her look more like his mother. When Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon, Yarna was still in the palace. She met up with Doallyn, and the two of them escaped from Tessek and B'omarr monks and fled to Mos Eisley. There, she recovered her three cubs and fled Tatooine, with Doallyn, to Geran. There, they decided to become freelance traders, living aboard their starship. Yarna danced on the side, and even performed the Dance of the Seventy Violet Veils at the wedding of Han Solo and Leia Organa.

A native of the planet Naboo, Kurgan grew up wanted to be a fighter pilot. He quickly learned how to fly transports and cargo ships, but his body outgrew his skills, and eventually his muscular frame was too large to fit into a starfighter. When he was drafted into the Naboo Royal Security Forces sometime after the Battle of Endor, Kurgan eagerly accepted his commission, hoping to translate his skills into command of a warship. Sometime after earning command of the Comet's Wake, he found himself being possessed by a space wraith. The alien entity took control of his mind, forcing him to relinquish command of the ship and request a ground-side position in the maintenance corps. Although his wish was granted because of his exemplary service, few realized that Kurgan was no longer himself. As the space wraith gained more and more power over him, it began to force Kurgan to kill his fellow officers. Unable to fight back against the wraith's control, Kurgan murdered friends and acquaintences, always making sure to spread out the attacks to as not to draw suspicion. Although he remained loyal to the NRSF, Kurgan was unable to force the space wraith from his mind.

Dala, Tobbi
This man was rumored to have been one of the three surviving Mandalorian Protectors, along with Alpha-02 and Fenn Shysa, from an original group of 212 that were sent into battle during the Clone Wars. Popular rumor held that it was actually Boba Fett, not Alpha-02, who survived the fighting. Only Dala and Shysa returned to Mandalore when the fighting was over, as Alpha-02 was too shell-shocked from the war to be of use. Much of this backstory was dismissed as fabrication when Leia Organa traveled to Mandalore sometime after the Battle of Hoth, during the search for Han Solo. She discovered that Shysa and Dala had returned to find that their planet had been overrun by slavers, and both set out to destroy the slave trade and return contol of the planet to the Mandalorians. Tobbi was captured shortly before Shysa captured the bounty hunter Dengar, and the opposing sides agreed to exchange captives. However, Leia demanded to talk to Dengar, and the plan was thwarted. Tobbi was imprisoned by the Suprema, who displayed his Mandalorian armor in a trophy case. He was later freed by Fenn Shysa and Leia Organa, but was shot in the chest during their escape by the Suprema. Despite being fatally wounded, Tobbi managed to grab the Suprema's weapon, allowing the others to escape the slavers' office. In the ensuing chase, Tobbi managed to close the base's blast doors as a group of airspeeders launched to chase after Shysa and Organa. The airspeeders exploded, setting off a chain reaction that destroyed the base and killed every being inside.

Dalborra
This Wookiee joined the legions of beings who supported the Sith during the final years of the Great Galactic War. Because of his actions while working for the Sith, Dalborra earned several large bounties on his head, primarily from those worlds he plundered or sacked. Dalborra was part of the mercenary force that was dispatched to the planet Dantooine, in an attempt to take control of the Jedi training facility there. Before long, however, a series of peace talks were arranged on the planet Alderaan, although Dalborra was ordered to remain alert throughout the negotiations. When the Republic began bombing locations on the surface of Dantooine, Dalborra tracked the closest series of explosions to the location where Braden was hiding. He was able to capture the bounty hunter and bring him to the Sith base on the planet, but refused to allow the Sith commanders to simply whisk him away to Korriban. Dalborra demanded to accompany Braden, claiming that the man was his prisoner. On the ship, Braden managed to escape with the help of Jedi Master Dar'nala, who was also being held prisoner. Dar'nala, however, allowed herself to be recaptured, and Dalborra was present when the Sith Captain tried to interrogate her again. However, Dalborra was able to activate a power coupling and send a powerful jolt of electricity through the Captain's body, killing him instantly. Dalborra then set out to complete the ship's mission by landing on Korriban, where he was told that he would not be paid because Braden had escaped. The Sith ship was then destroyed, after Lord Angral feared it had been sabotaged by Republic spies. Dalborra was later present when Master Dar'nala was interrogated, although the Sith military commander mistakenly believed that the Wookiee had been captured by the Jedi. He then gave Dalborra the ability to execute Dar'nala, which he appeared to bo by sending a jolt of electrical energy through the binders that trapped her wrists. Dalborra then followed Braden to Coruscant, where the human carried out a mission to bomb the Senate Rotunda. With the knowledge that Braden had delivered Dar'nala's message to the Jedi Council, Dalbora then traveled to the planet Dantooine, secretly carrying the body of Master Dar'nala with him. Unknown to everyone but themselves, Dalborra's jolt of electricity had only stunned Dar'nala into unconsciousness. Upon returning to Dantooine, she began making plans to confront the Sith Lords, and Dalborra agreed to accompany the Jedi when they met the Sith in an ancient crystal cave. Dar'nala was eventually revealed to have been the cause of the trouble and turmoil that followed the Treaty of Coruscant, causing Dalborra to question his reasons for being in the cave. When Dar'nala tried to kill Lieutenant Tavus and destroy the Sith, Dalborra refused to be part of her plans. Instead, the Wookiee attacked and killed Master Dar'nala, before fleeing the caves. Dalborra stopped in the middle of a field and tried to comprehend what had happened, unaware that he had bee followed by Braden. The human targeted Dalborra and shot the Wookiee dead.

Dalgeer
This Sullustan was a security officer for SoroSuub, until he could no longer reconcile SoroSuub's connections with the Empire and some of its policies. He joined the Alliance, and was happy to volunteer his services in the construction and management of a base within the volcano of Mount Deldarca. His dedication and energy earned him the respect of the base's personnel, and in turn they named the base 'Dalgeer's Rim.'
(HAS)
Dalgeer's Rim
This was the name of an Alliance base located in the Mount Deldarca caverns. Since Deldarca was an active volcano, it provided a measure of protection against detection. The base of the volcano was riddled with tunnels and caverns left behind by flowing lava, which made the location ideal for the Alliance since much of the excavation work had been done naturally. Dalgeers' Rim served as a staging area and secondary fighter base for the starfighters in the system. Power for the base was developed by tapping into the incredibly hot lava flowing beneath the mountain, providing a virtually endless supply of geothermal energy. The base was named for its first commander, the Sullustan Dalgeer.

This man served the Thaereian Military as a Lieutenant, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Lieutenant Dalin was placed in charge of Task Force Pest by Colonet Rast'Tul, as part of a far-reaching plan to sow chaos and unrest throughout the Cularin System. Among his other duties, Lieutenant Dalin was also to arrest and detain any being who was discovered to have some sensitivity to the Force. Those who showed only minimal control were imprisoned as rebels, while others were sent to a secret research facility.
Among those who were arrested by Dalin was Borus Ferthyn. Ferthyn's arrest sparked several riots in the streets of Gadrin, and Dalin felt that his execution would put a stop to the riots. Unfortunately, Ferthyn's death only set off more intense rioting, forcing Dalin to take additional measures in order to try and gain control of the city. Before he could implement new orders, however, Dalin was captured by a group of freelance agents who were working for Osten Dal'Nay. He was taken into captivity, and the prisoners he was holding were released.

Dallin, Jace
A native of Rendili, this man was a member of Ranulph Tarkin's command circle, during the era of the Stark Hyperspace War. Dallin was on board the Invincible when it emerged from hyperspace near Troiken, as part of Tarkin's plan to destroy the Stark Commercial Combine. Instead of seeing Tarkin back down from his tenuous position and admit defeat, Dallin witnessed Tarkin's madness. Tarkin refused to give up, even after the lost of the Invincible and poor field position in the Lycinder Plain where Tarkin's forces landed. Tarkin even blamed then-Senator Finis Valorum for all the problems perpetrated by Iaco Stark. Dallin, like many of his fellow officers and soldiers, began to question Tarkin's motives, and began to side with the Jedi Knights who came to rescue them. Dallin found that his own xenophobia was an extension of Tarkin's, and quickly shed any pretenses he might have had. Dallin, and many of his peers, refused to serve any longer under Tarkin's command. He later befriended a native Xexto named Billibango, who helped the remaining forces escape from Stark's soldiers. When Billibango threw himself in front of a blast meant for Dallin, Dallin realized that Tarkin's xenophobia was misguided. He allied himself with the Jedi, and worked to get the forces off Troiken. He suffered serious injuried to his head and face, injuries which he allowed to heal naturally. The scars, he later admitted, helped him to remember the War and how he very nearly fought on the wrong side. During the Clone Wars, Captain Dallin was caught between his loyalty to the Republic and his loyalty to his homeworld. When Rendili's leadership chose to side with the Separatists, Dallin was among the small number of military veterans who wanted to keep the Rendili Dreadnaughts out of the hands of Count Dooku. His willingness to negotiate with Jedi Master Plo Koon aboard his flagship, the Mersel Kebir, led to the mutiny of his subordinate officers. Dallin and Koon were held captive, and Mellor Yago threatened to kill them if the Republic's forces didn't leave. Ultimately, Plo Koon and Dallin were freed by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos, and Dallin was forced to shoot Yago in order to prevent any further hostilites. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Dallin followed many other naval officers in being assigned commands within the newly-formed Imperial Fleet. However, he chose to openly question Emperor Palpatine's reports of the so-called Jedi Rebellion, earning him the attention of Darth Vader himself. Rather than allow Dallin to continue, Vader used the Dark Side of the Force to grab Dallin by the throat and fling him into the air. Dallin was dead before he hit the ground, and his death served as an deadly example to the other officers to keep their feelings to themselves.

This man was a native of the planet Naboo, growing up the son of Reeve Dallows, a school teacher and a freighter pilot. Rhys never saw much of his father, whose work as a pilot kept him offplanet more often than not. Nonetheless, Rhys grew up dreaming about flying among the stars. Shortly before the Trade Federation blockaded his homeworld, Rhys was learning how to fly the Naboo N-1 starfighter, as part of the small group of Naboo pilots who made up Echo Flight. He was something of a smart-aleck, and was friends with Dren Melne. However, his loyalties were to the Naboo, and when Dren tried to force Echo Flight to turn over their N-1 starfighters to Captain Sorran and the Velumina, Rhys came to the aid of Essara Till. For his actions, Rhys was promoted to a position within Bravo Squadron. He was thrown into battle when the Trade Federation blockaded Naboo, forcing Queen Amidala to flee the planet. Upon her return, Rhys and the rest of the pilots flew their starfighters against the Federation's Droid Control Ship during the Battle of Naboo.

A former member of the Thaereian Military, this man left Thaere to serve as a Commander in the Cularin Militia, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Commander Dal'Nay was placed in charge of readying the Cularin Militia to confront the Thaereian Military, which had moved into the Cularin System after the planet Cularin suddenly disappeared. Commander Dal'Nay was very outspoken in his dislike and disapproval of the Thaereian Military's presence in the Cularin System, and his attitudes toward Thaere only deepened as time dragged on. Thus, it was surprising when Dal'Nay joined forces with Broof Yurdel and allowed the Militia to simply fade into the background. This was not due to a lack of funding, but was actually a bold move on the part of the two Commanders to eventually launch a counter-assault on the Thaereians. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, they launched their assault - known as Operation False Horizon - using surprise to take control of several Thaereian bases throughout the Cularin System. They eventually defeated the Thaereians and freed Cularin, only to find themselves in the midst of the galactic upheaval that accompanied the Clone Wars. Rather than rest on his laurels, Dal'Nay took it upon himself to train the new recruits of the Cularin military, in case they were to be called up to duty by the Old Republic.

As it grew, the damutek continued to grow in size, eventually becoming the size of a major building. The star-shaped trunk was wide and strong enough to accommodate a variety of environments, and the roots of the damutek plunged deep into the earth to extract copious amounts of water for its own nourishment. At the heart of the damutek was a succession pool, used to process the wastes of its inhabitants.

D'an, Barquin
This Bith was the older brother of the famous Figrin D'an, and was a Kloo horn player for the Max Rebo Twelve. He was always bitterly jealous of his younger brother, because Figrin's music became extremely popular while Barquin's own career wallowed in mediocrity. His musical compositions were often considered excellent, but his singing and playing were regarded as average. Barquin was known as a minor player, even though he performed as an opening act for Red Shift Limit, Starburst, and Annadale Fayde over his career. He traveled to Tatooine in the hope of playing with Figrin and the Modal Nodes, only to find that they were unavailable. Instead, Barquin signed on to help the Max Rebo Band play at Jabba the Hutt's palace. After Jabba had Oola killed for resisting his desires, Barquin fled the palace as fast as he could. Note that Star Wars Insider, issue 67 indicates that Barquin remained with the band during the planned execution of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, hoping to throw himself into the sarlacc pit and end his miserable life. Instead, when Jabba was killed, Barquin jumped ship and fled to Mos Eisley. He eventually made his way to Stenos, where he gave up music entirely and formed a lucrative import/export business.

Dance, Villian
A native of Corellia, this man was a member of the TIE Fighter squadrons that served aboard the Star Destroyer Steel Talon, during the construction of the first Death Star. Lieutenant Commander Dance, known as Vil to his friends, was a skilled pilot who rose quickly through the ranks. Dance was the leader of Alpha Squad, which put he and his fellow pilots on the front lines of any military maneuver. His promotion to squad leader was based on several successful missions that earned him the praise of his superiors, as well as the notice of most females.
As construction on the Death Star progressed, Vil started having increasingly distressing dreams. The first dreams were little more than images of the dead beings who tried to flee on shuttle RLH-1, which Vil had been forced to shoot down before it could escape. It didn''t help matters that Lieutenant Kendo died during one of his training missions, leaving Vil to wonder if he was still up to the rigors of being a pilot. To bring back his sanity and his nerve, Vil spent time in the simulators, fighting against the duplicated skills of Vindoo "The Shooter" Barvel.
To help relieve some of the stresses of being a pilot, Vil and his fellow officers made regular visits to the Hard Heart Cantina, one of several civilian-operated establishments on the Death Star. He met Teela Kaarz during one of these visits, when his group made a bet about which pilot would get a date first. Vil intervened when Kaarz was being accosted by a drunk soldier, and helped her avoid the man's advances. He sheepishly admitted the truth about the bet, which soften up her opinion of him enough for her to agree to having a cup of caf later on.
Dance's first real combat experience occurred when the rebel freighter Fortressa tried to launch an attack on the Death Star. He managed to destroy ten rebel X-Wings, earning double-ace honors in almost no time. In talking about the experience with Teela Kaarz later on, Vil found that shooting down enemy fighters seemed much easier that he thought it would be. His concerns over his military career only deepened when the Death Star was used to destroy the planets Despayre and Alderaan.
After the destruction of the planet Alderaan, Vil began to wonder about his loyalties. He felt he would jump ship and join the Alliance, if the opportunity presented itself. Their opportunity appeared in the form of an offer from Atour Riten, who agreed to help them steal a medical shuttle and escape. Vil agreed to pilot the vessel, and helped the group escape. He was forced to fly with all his skill, especially when Darth Vader himself tried to shoot them down. Vil managed to escape, and then decided to join the Alliance as a starfighter pilot. He also asked Teela Kaarz to marry him, an offer she eventually agreed to take.

Dancing Goddess
This statue icon, paired with her consort the Minstrel, was worshipped by the natives of the planet Arcan IV. The statue was once stolen by the smuggler known as BoShek, who used it to pay off a debt to Prince Xizor. It was not known if this statue was the true Dancing Goddess or not, because a search for the statue ensued shortly afterward. While Lemo and Sanda searched for it, the Dancing Goddess was in the possession of Lando Calrissian. Lando eventually gave the statue to his old enemy, Barpotomous Drebble, claiming that it was an award for his "heroism". Drebble was considered something of a hero to the Alliance after several key victories over Imperial forces were attributed to Drebble, when in fact it was Lando using Drebble's name as an alias. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Han Solo discovered that the Dancing Goddess and the Minstrel were two necessary components in the massive machinery that kept the Godoan race vital. They set out to recover the statue, in hopes of reviving the Godoan civilization. Drebble magnanimously turned the statue over to Lando, when he realized that keeping it would mean the death of the Godoan society.

Dandelion Warriors
This race of plant-like beings was native to the grasslands of the Forest Moon of Endor, near the Great Forest. The Dandelion Warriors were sometimes called urchins, because of the quills that covered their bodies. The name "Dandelion Warrior" was given to the creatures by the Ewoks, who feared the creatures. In fact, the actual name of these creatures was fftssfft, a sound made by forcing air through tiny pores in their body-stems. The Dandelion Warriors protected their farmlands with great ferocity, using the strange quills that covered their heads as weapons against intruders. One out of every hundred or so quills was filled with venom, and broke open when it struck flesh in order to deliver the poison. These so-called star urchin quills were believed to have medicinal value by Ewok shamans. Despite their aggressive nature, Dandelion Warriors only killed other beings when their territory was threatened, and preferred to live off the land whenever possible.

This bounty hunter and his sister, Floria, claimed to be from the planet Aaeton, when they were captured by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker on Ragoon-6, some five years after the Battle of Naboo. They were part of a group of bounty hunters hired by Granta Omega to capture the Jedi and their companion, Wren Honoran. However, their plans to capture the Jedi failed when the Jedi actually captured them. Obi-Wan and Anakin then used them to draw out the other bounty hunters. It was during this time that Dane and Floria admitted they were from Thracior. Their parents - a Hnsi mother and a Tantt father - had been killed for intermarrying. The children were forced to make their own way through the galaxy, and became bounty hunters to pay their bills. Years later, Floria and Dane remained a team, although they gave up bounty hunting and were working the Mid and Outer Rim Territories as security officers. Shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars, they were hired by Samish Kash to serve as his personal bodyguards. However, during Kash's mission to Null to discuss a treaty with Count Dooku, Kash was assassinated. This brought Floria and Dane back into contact with Obi-Wan and Anakin, who were on Null to meet with Lorian Nod.

It was Danen, much to his confusion and dismay, who first discovered a cloaked asteroid entering the system, when he saw the stars in the tail section of the Jeweled Lizard constellation wink out and then re-appear. He and Oldathan alerted the Commenori military to the asteroid's approach, but their onboard weapons were nowhere near enough to destroy or deflect the massive object. The asteroid turned out to be one of several that the Galactic Alliance's Third Fleet launched at the planet itself, while confronting Commenor's naval forces in space.

Dani
This Zeltron adventurer helped the Alliance destroy the bounty hunter base on Stenos. Distinguished by her red skin, red eyes, and red-black hair, Dani was a smuggler and former acquaintence of Han Solo, who was working with Rik Duel and Chihdo during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. She later revealed that she was the first of her race captured and imprisoned by the Nagai, during the subjugation of the planet Zeltros. Dani was part of the smuggler team which agreed to join the Alliance on Stenos, and stayed behind with Rik and Chihdo to keep up the search for the lost statue of Vol. She immediately latched onto Luke Skywalker when he arrived on Stenos with Lando Calrissian during their search for Bossk and IG-88. However, as soon as the statue was found, Rik and his band tried to make off with the statue and sell it to Imperial Governor Matrin. This plan failed miserably, as the Stenaxes learned of the statue's reappearance and set out to recover it. In their anger, the Stenaxes killed the Imperials, but they spared the smugglers. Dani, Rik, and Chihdo remained on Stenos for several years, until Luke Skywalker returned with Lando Calrissian on a mission to locate Bossk. After Chewbacca managed to gain the assistance of the Stenaxes in eliminating the bounty hunters, Dani stowed away aboard the Millennium Falcon to be with Luke and Lando. On Lahsbane, she revealed that she had a death sentence on her head in six different systems for theft and smuggling, before stealing a wealth of jewels and treasure from the Huhks and fleeing the planet in a stolen Imperial shuttle. She eventually returned to Rik and Chihdo, and they set off for the planet Iskalon to salvage whatever they could find in the ruins of Pavillion. This plan fell through when Mone demanded that they leave the planet. Throughout all these adventures, Dani never forgot her love for Luke, which was rekindled when they accompanied him to Shawken. When he continually refused to return her love, Dani turned instead to the Iskalonian known as Kiro. Months later, Dani was captured on Kinooine by Lumiya, and held as bait in a trap to catch Luke Skywalker. Her capture followed the apparent death of Kiro, a loss that haunted her for many months. It was during this time that she was tortured by Den Siva, and Dani was never the same afterward. Her usual bubbly personality and unconditional love had been replaced with a hardness and the desire to destroy the Nagai. In the wake of the liberation of Zeltros from the Tofs, Dani returned to her homeworld and disappeared from the public eye.

Danle', Theomet
This man was the son of a Naboo family that was known for producing eight generations of vigorous miners, and was recognized at an early age for his mental as well as physical abilities. He was chosen for a position in the Theed Palace Guard during the final years of the Old Republic, but never forgot his roots. A portion of his wages was always sent back to his family in Kwilaan, to supplement their mining wages.
As the galaxy descended into chaos during the months leading up to the Clone Wars, Theomet's wages were all that kept his family from becoming impoverished, as the mining operations in the Naboo System were impaired by the refugees that arrived in the system. This lack of credits led to the death of Theomet's grandfather, who was one of Theomet's most beloved relatives. In an angry, drunken tirade, Theomet attracted the attention of a reporter who was supposedly investigating Senator Padme' Amidala and her hypcritical representation of Naboo.
Unknown to Theomet, this reporter was actually Zam Wesell in disguise. She claimed that she needed access to the Senator's private space yacht, where she could plant a recording device and finally expose the truth about Padme'. Unfortunately, Theomet provided the bounty hunter with the access she needed. Using the opportunity, Zam Wesell installed an explosive device in the starship, which she later set off when the vessel arrived on Coruscant, just before the vote on the Military Creation Act. Although Padme' was not aboard, her handmaiden Corde' died in the explosion.

Danoor
This planet, located in the Nah'Malis System of the Kathol Outback, was colonized about 100 years before the Battle of Endor. The colonists were scientists who wanted to dedicate their research to studying the Kathol Rift. When word reached other planets in Kathol Sector of Danoor's natural beauty and resources, other groups established settlements there as well. Shortly before Emperor Palpatine created the New Order, a stray asteroid from the Duhrib Belt smashed into Danoor, killing much of its native population and destroying large areas of the settlements. Contact with Danoor was cut off for several years, as the Empire left the world to itself. Danoor was a temperate world of varying topography. Its day lasted 25 standard hours, and its year lasted 201 local days. The planet was ruled by a group of Ministers, each of which represented about half a million residents. It was the Minsters, searching for a way to pay for its operations, who invited many corporations to establish branches on Danoor. However, many of the Ministers made concessions in order to draw corporate leaders to Danoor, and so the corporations have an incredible amount of political sway. After Rolf Treidum and the Lialic II attacked the FarStar near Danoor, he then launched a devastator torpedo at the planet. Following the destruction of a huge area of the planet, the Ministers of Danoor told the New Republic to stay away and not bring any more war and destruction to their world.

Dantari
This nomadic race was native to the planet Dantooine. They roamed the coastal plains in small, peaceful tribe. Little was known of the Dantari culture, as they kept to themselves and remained aloof from the Alliance personnel which were garrisoned there during the early years of the Alliance. Later, the Eol Sha colonists were unaware of the Dantari, and were eradicated by Daala's forces before contact could be made. Oddly enough, the Dantari suddenly began to incorporate Imperial symbols into their own daily lives, tattooing images of AT-AT walkers and blasters on their skin. The bravest of the Dantari had full-body images of stormtrooper armor, giving them the impression of being invincible. As a people, the Dantari were generally human in stature, with dark hair and wide, flat faces.

The ruse worked well, as it drew in the freelance crew of the Starchaser IV to help drive off the mynocks and restore power to the ship. However, the freelance crew eventually discovered the alias was false, and set out to confront the Liana Liberators.

Aboard her personal ship, the Starduster, Captain Dantels managed to get the astromechs from Commenor with help from the newly-formed Rogue Squadron. She remained on Yavin 4 during the months prior to the Battle of Yavin, where she befriended Biggs Darklighter and Doctor Shae Polikex.
Distinguished by her black hair and the talon-shaped tattoos under her eyes, Captain Dantels often turned heads at the Massassi Base with her close-fitting clothes. However, she only had eyes for Darklighter, and was distraught when he was killed in the Battle of Yavin. She continued to fight with the Alliance, and was in command of the ground forces that were dispatched to accompany Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker to Jabiim. She later agreed to assist Lieutenant Pollard and the members of Dagger Squadron on a mission to rescue Skywalker and the Princess at Bannistar Station, and flew under the callsign Blue Dagger during the assault.

Dantooine
This planet, located in the Raioballo Sector of the galaxy, had a long history with the Old and New Republics, as well as the Alliance. In ancient times, it was the site of a Jedi training center under the command of Jedi Master Vodo Siosk-Baas. One of its most prominent students was the Dark Jedi, Exar Kun. The enclave was destroyed by Darth Malak, and the ruins remained abandoned for centuries. Millennia later, Dantooine was ravaged during the Clone Wars, when the Separatists tried to take control of the planet for use as a staging area for warships protecting the planet Muunilinst. Jedi Master Mace Windu almost single-handedly defeated the Separatist forces on Dantooine, leaving the planet free. During the period of the Emperor's New Order, it was the site of Rebel base, but it was abandoned before the Empire could determine the base's location. The Alliance had planned well, using pre-fabricated, self-constructing buildings to construct the base, allowing it to be torn down swiftly after it was learned that a traitor had given away its location about six months before the Battle of Yavin. It was believed that the base was abandoned within a local day. Dantooine had two moons and a dry savannah environment, and the homeworld to the Dantari race, as well as a number of unusual forms of animal life. Perhaps the most unusual aspect of Dantooine's ecosystem was the lavender-colored grass that covered the plains, swaying like a purple blanket in the breeze. The Jedi ruins were once the site where Alliance agents had hidden a holocron containing the names and locations of hundred of agents, although it was later recovered by Dusque Mistflier. Tash Arranda and her brother, Zak, rediscovered the ancient Jedi ruins there, with the help of the Dantari Maga. Maga refused to enter the ruins, for the garoo of the Dantari told legends which said those who entered the ruins never came out. Tash discovered that the Empire was using the ruins - and the legends surrounding them - to create a new batch of clones, using a cloning laboratory which was established by the ancient Jedi Knights. In the year following the resurrection of Emperor Palpatine, Dantooine was the planet to which the Eol Sha colonists were relocated, but it was devastated in a stellar attack from Admiral Daala. The planet remained untouched for many years, until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Like many other pastoral worlds, Dantooine was quickly captured and reformed for the use of the alien invaders. The average day on Dantooine lasted 25 standard hours, and its year encompassed 378 local days.

Dantooine Crystal
This rare crystal was used by the ancient Jedi Knights as the focusing component of their lightsabers. Over the centuries, Dantooine crystals were replaced by crystals from Ilum or Adega, but Dantooine crystals continued to be used by those Jedi who could find them. During the chaotic months that followed the Clone Wars, Emperor Palpatine moved quickly to ensure that any surviving Jedi Knights were unable to locate crystals for their lightsabers. All trade and commerce involving Dantooine crystals, as well as Adegan crystals and Corusca gems, was placed under strict interdiction.

However, Senator Danu was among the handful of Senators who were chosen by Bail Organa and Mon Mothma to consider the development of the Petition of the Two Thousand. His staunch support of the Loyalist Committee and his desire to work for the betterment of the Republic went against the wishes of the leaders on his homeworld, and the Kuati government recalled him twice to discuss his stance in the Senate. He maintained his loyalty to the Republic despite this, and placed a great deal of faith in the abilities of the Jedi Order.

This facility stored the plans to the original Death Star, and served as a research facility for many of the Death Star' systems. Kyle Katarn was able to infiltrate the base and steal the plans, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. Danuta itself was a barren world that provided minimal life-supporting capabilities, and it was orbited by a single moon. Much of the planet's surface was given over to the mining operations of the Brodsport Mining Corporation, although a few farmers managed a meager existence by growing scrubby grains.

She was a perfectionist, and demanded the same from the beings who served her every need and whim. Despite her nature, Sari Danzer found herself falling for one of the part-time circus clowns, a pilot named Vistal Purn. Purn once tried to woo her with a private flight aboard the Millennium Falcon, hoping to win her heart during the downtime between shows in the Anoat Sector. However, the circus was attacked by the Black Hole Pirates, and Purn was forced to use the ship to rescue the animals that were stranded on Regosh. It was during the rescue that Danzer revealed to Purn that she stayed with the circus because she loved the animals. Because of his efforts to rescue them, Purn also learned that Danzer was falling in love with him. Although Dax Doogun was forced to sell the Molpol Circus, Danzer and Purn were eventually married, and spent the rest of their lives managing a series of traveling pet shows.

However, Daraada did not attempt to meet the full demands of the Governor, especially in light of the continual denial of Daraada's requests for additional manpower and resources.

Daragon, Gav
A native of Kirrek, Gav and his sister Jori charted the ancient space lanes for traders and haulers some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. They had been orphaned at an early age when their parents were killed in the First Unification Wars fought by Empress Teta, and brought up under the watchful eye of Aarrba the Hutt. Gav once tested high in Force-sensitivity, but never was able to obtain full training. The lure of interstellar travel called to Gav and his sister, and they were able to obtain a ship with the help of Aarrba. However, luck was not something the Daragons were endowed with. They were continually in debt to Aarrba, and thought that they had finally broken even when they discovered a risky route known as the Goluud Corridor.
They were black-balled by the Navigational Guild and disowned by Aarrba, and tried flee Cinnagar through the Starswarm Cluster, damaging their ship and forcing them to land on Korriban. They were then thrust into the middle of the power struggle between Naga Sadow and the Sith Lords when the Sith Lords thought they were advanced scouts from the Old Republic's Navy. Gav was swayed by Naga Sadow, who held the young man on Khar Shian in order to "protect" him from the other Sith Lords. Sadow allowed him to explore the ancient Sith magics, encouraging Gav's Force potential to grow. Sadow allowed him to train in the use of a huge wall of automated systems, giving him just enough information to lead Gav to believe that he was controlling Sadow's fortress.
In reality, Sadow was training the young human in the use of several weapons systems linked to Sith magic. When Ludo Kressh attacked Khar Shian, Sadow told Gav to use the systems to cut off transmissions to the renegade Sith Lord. What Gav actually did was activate a remote detonator on Kressh's ship, causing the craft to explode in a brilliant fireball. It was at this point that Gav realized he and his sister had been manipulated by Sadow. However, he was gaining power with the Force that he never thought he'd have, and when Sadow offered him a position of power in his fleet, Gav agreed. He led part of the assault on Cinnagar, but was confronted by Aarrba. When his Massassi bodyguards cut the poor Hutt down, Gav was shocked at the brutality.
When he discovered that his sister had witnessed what he had done, he fled in terror to Primus Goluud, hoping to confront Naga Sadow. There he disabled Sadow's meditation sphere, causing the Sith Lord to lose his concentration. The images Sadow had been projecting into his forces dissipated, giving the combined Jedi-Republic forces new hope. Sadow was furious, and tricked Gav into the failing sphere. Gav's distraction allowed the Republic to launch an attack on Sadow's forces, but Sadow used Sith magic to rip apart Primus Goluud. Gav remained in the sphere, providing the Republic fleet with an escape vector to avoid the explosion. He was killed in the disaster.

They were black-balled by the Navigational Guild and disowned by Aarrba, and tried flee Cinnagar through the Starswarm Cluster, damaging their ship and forcing them to land on Korriban.
They were then thrust into the middle of the power struggle between the ancient Sith Lords, who believed they were the advanced scouts of an Old Republic war fleet. Naga Sadow managed to sway her allegiance, and held her on Khar Delba in order to "protect" her from reprisal by the other Sith Lords. Sadow later returned the Starbreaker 12 to her, telling her that Gav was dead and that she needed to return to the Republic before the other Sith Lords launched an attack on the Republic. Sadow then used the information from the Starbreaker 12's navigational computer to gather information on the pathways used to reach the planets controlled by the Old Republic.
When she returned to Cinnagar, which was the only destination she had stored in the ship's computer, she was arrested and charged with every conceivable crime in relation to her escape from Cinnagar. No one believed her claims that the Sith Empire was about to attack, and she was shipped off to Ronika as punishment for her crimes. She managed to escape on an ore drone ship, but was shot down over Empress Teta's palace on Cinnagar. Once captured by Teta's guards, Jori produced a Sith amulet she took from Korriban. This persuaded Odan-Urr and Teta to believe her story of an impending Sith attack.
She later was reunited with her brother Gav, but only after he and his Massassi warriors had killed Aarba. She tried to talk to him and bring him back from the Dark Side of the Force, but was unsuccessful. She followed him to Primus Goluud, but was unable to rescue him from the failing meditiation sphere he'd taken from Naga Sadow. As Gav provided an escape route from the unstable star, Jori tearfully said goodbye to him as the exploding star consumed him. Later, she stood by Empress Teta's side as they attacked Naga Sadow's forces near the Denarii Nova, in the final act of the Great Hyperspace War. Upon defeating the Sith and returning to Cinnagar, Teta gave Jori the rights to own and operate Aarrba the Hutt's starship repair facility for her assistance in the war.

This noted hyperspace travel route was supposedly haunted by the ghost of Admiral Fa'Rey. It was first established some time before the onset of the Great Sith War by Jori and Gav Daragon, and linked the planet Koros Major with Korriban. The establishment of the Daragon Trail inadvertently provided access for the Sith to reach the worlds of the Old Republic, allowing them to launch the initial attacks of the Sith War.

Darak
This Ferroan woman, distinguished by her pale blue skin and gold-black eyes, was one of the first of his people to greet Luke Skywalker's Jedi Knights, when the Jedi located Zonama Sekot during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Along with her partner, Rowel, Darak was openly suspicious of the presence of the Jedi on the planet, despite the fact that Sekot itself allowed the Jedi to land. After Sekot had successfully tested the Jedi Knights to ensure that their mission was, indeed, a peaceful resolution to the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, the planetary sentience agreed to return to the galaxy and help the Jedi. Darak and Rowel both accepted Sekot's decision, and eventually decided that the Jedi were worthy of their assistance. When Zonama Sekot made a blind jump into hyperspace to avoid the sabotage of Nom Anor, the Ferroans were forced to flee underground to avoid the ecological damage that occurred on the surface. Darak and Rowel made many trips into the wilderness to look for survivors, often with the help of the Jedi. However, after several jumps and no clear indication from Sekot as to its plans, Darak demanded that the Jedi leave the planet.

In order to summon him from his long sleep, the Irmenu had to beat a certain rhythm upon Darakaer's drum as they prepared for war. Former Supreme Commander Gilad Pellaeon of the Imperial Remnant used the legend of Darakaer's drum as a secret signal between himself and Admiral Daala, who had disappeared into The Maw. He had a special drumbeat that he could tap out with his fingertips upon a comlink, which would only be understood by Daala as a summons to rejoin the Imperial Remnant.

Dare, Sigel
This woman was one of the Imperial Knights who served the new Empire that rose to power during the decades following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Noted for her sense of duty and devotion to the Empire, Sigel served under Antares Draco, some 130 years after the Battle of Yavin. In the years that followed, Sigel Dare hooked up with Treis Sinde, and it was Sinde who explained to her that the Empire that had been forged by Darth Krayt was not the Empire that had been the vision of Roan Fel. He showed her the evil that the New Empire had been corrupted into supporting, and together they worked to undermine the New Sith Order. To this end, they decided to sabotage the Star Destroyer Imperious while it was in drydock above the planet Calamari, and were stunned when Gar Stazi boldly stole the ship. Trapped on the planet's surface, they were able to make contact with Monia Gahan and explain the situation to her, in the hope that she could get off-planet and warn Stazi of the ship's impending explosion.
Despite her beliefs, Sigel still questioned Master Sinde's reasons for warning Stazi of the impending explosion, since Stazi was still a member of the Galactic Alliance. Master Sinde explained that she needed to take a wider vision, and not focus on her own perception of who was an enemy and who was not. He explained that the Sith wanted to smash a proposed alliance between Emperor Roan Fel and Admiral Stazi, and that that was reason enough to believe such an alliance would have brought down the New Sith Empire. They needed to do whatever was necessary to restore peace in the galaxy, so Sigel agreed to pose as an Imperial officer, as part of a plan to steal a shuttle and escape with the Alliance prisoners. When Master Sinde set out to confront Darth Azard, Sigel went ahead with the escape, despite the protests of Monia Gahan, who questioned the need to leave Sinde behind.
Upon reaching the rendezvous point that the Alliance had arranged, Master Dare met with Admiral Stazi, and was forced to endure the same kind of criticism she had used in her arguments with Master Sinde. She explained that she believed Master Sinde was still alive on Mon Calamari, and that he would do whatever he could to rally around their common enemy, Darth Krayt. Her words were enough to convince Admiral Stazi that an alliance between himself and Emperor Fel would be beneficial to the entire galaxy, and she gladly relayed Stazi's request for a meeting.

Dariana
This female Tarasin was known to be a wise member of the Hiironi tribe, but she was also quite selfish. She desired to gain a position of power, and longed to become the Irstat-Kes of the tribe. She felt that she had a chance when her mother was killed by a kilassin. Her older sister, Meriana, was promoted to become Mother of the tribe, while Dariana was named Irstat-Kes. Her triumphant rise to power was short-lived, however, when Meriana died of a mysterious illness just a day after the death of their mother. Dariana was then named Mother, a position which held no real power. She tried to do her best, but she chafed at the fact that her time as Irstat-Kes was too short. As she aged and grew weak, Dariana broke with Tarasin tradition and began to record her memoirs in electronic form, as a way to preserve her memory and her experiences for eternity. During the Clone Wars, Mother Dariana experienced a se'neth in which she saw the tide of the war sweeping over Cularin, then the oppression of the Empire. Her vision also showed her a way that the Tarasin could survive, but only if they worked together. She was able to invoke the Great Ritual, using her reputation to gather the leaders of the the variouis irstats in a single place to hear of her vision. Despite her words, there were many Tarasin - most of them male - who wanted to ignore the war and remain loyal to the jungle. They spoke of Cularin's death if the Tarasin took up arms, as the destruction of even one tree could set off a chain reaction of events that could cause serious harm to the planet and the Tarasin. Thus, a year after the invocation of the Great Ritual, Dariana announced that she would step down as their leader, provided that she was allowed to complete the work she had laid out for the rest of the year. She also asked that, while she was still their leader, the Tarasin obeyed her every command. Her wishes were granted, and she simply asked for peace among all irstats.

This was the term used by historians to describe the final century of the Draggulch Period of galactic history, when the Old Republic could not maintain itself in the face of growing Sith opposition. Much of the galaxy suffered under the chaos of war and an unprecedented period of plagues and diseases that swept across entire worlds. The Jedi Order remained a powerful force, but they could not handle the growing influence of the Sith. In an effort to consolidate its power and determine a strategy for defeating the Sith, the Old Republic closed off all planets outside the Core Worlds. Planets in the outlying systems were cut off from the HoloNet, as well as regular shipments of supplies, and had to rely on hyperspace couriers for news and foodstuffs. It was during this time that thje Candorian Plague wiped out large numbers of beings across the galaxy, further adding to the Republic's troubles. The Sith, meanwhile, experienced one of their most prestigious eras of expansion, with several Dark Lords commanding massive armies. The Dark Age, and the Draggulch Period, came to an end with the defeat of the Sith at the Battle of Ruusan.

Officially designated the DRK-1, this droid had "eyes" consisting of a pair of camera lenses, a sophisticated communications package, and moved about via a compact repulsor drive. Weaponry could be mounted in a number of configurations. In many respects, the DRK-1 Dark Eye was a predecessor to the Imperial probe droid used during the Galactic Civil War. In addition to the basic probe droid package, the dark eye was plated with energy-absorbing stealth armor, which allowed it evade most sensor scans. These droids were armed with a laser cannon, a stun blaster, and a dart gun. The Sith apprentice Darth Maul, during the time her served under Darth Sidious, recreated three of these droids to scout the primary settlements on the planet Tatooine for any sign of Queen Amidala of Naboo, just prior to the Battle of Naboo.

Dark Lord of the Sith
This was the name that was generally used to describe the most powerful of the Force users who tapped into the energy of the Dark Side of the Force by using the ancient magic of the Sith. Any of the most powerful students of the Sith teachings were candidates to become a Dark Lord of the Sith, which was considered the equivalent of an all-powerful Jedi Master. Although it was believed that the original Dark Lords descended from true Jedi Knights many millennia before the Great Sith War, certain Jedi Holocrons described Exar Kun as being the first Dark Lord of the Sith. Other sources claim that Exar Kun was not the first Dark Lord of the Sith, but was the first being to take on the title since the era of the Great Hyperspace War.
What was known for sure was that a group of adherents to the Dark Side of the Force were cast out of the Jedi Order for their forays into the use of Dark Side magic, in the wake of the Hundred-Year Darkness. These Dark Jedi, including Ajunta Pall, were exiled for their use of the Dark Side, and found their way to the planet Korriban. There, they interbred with the native Sith race, growing stronger and more powerful as a result of the genetic combination. They expanded their realm into several nearby systems, and individual factions grew out of the isolation. Thus, many scholars believed the title of Dark Lord of the Sith was a way to describe the Dark Jedi who first controlled the Sith race.
The ancient laws of the Sith dictated that only one Dark Lord could rule at any time. A ritual of ascension was performed, with the candidate being subjected to the bites of three deadly insectoids. If the candidate survived through the use of intense Sith magic, they were declared the next Dark Lord of the Sith. They were forever marked by the bites, with a flaming sun scar on their forehead. Naga Sadow was one of the first Dark Lords to break away from the established ascension rituals, claiming himself Dark Lord after the death of Marka Ragnos without the consent of the other ruling Lords. Several centuries later, Freedon Nadd was unlucky enough to begin learning the Sith teaching under a young Dark Lord, and yearned to take the position from him. It was for this reason that Nadd went to Onderon. The ancient remains of the Dark Lords before Exar Kun were entombed on Korriban, in the Dark Side nexus known as the Valley of the Dark Lords.
During the era of the New Sith War, the Sith had grown in numbers, and there were many individuals who were considered to be Sith Lords. With the Battle of Ruusan, however, all but Darth Bane were killed. It was Bane who reinstituted many of the ancient traditions, including naming of all Sith with the title Darth, since he believed that the title Dark Lord of the Sith had become trivialized. However, Bane's most important decree was the reduction of the number of Sith to two individuals at any one time: a master and an apprentice. In this way, the Sith Lords could concentrate and build up their strength for a time when they could take control of the galaxy. This tradition was passed down for the next thousand years, culminating with Darth Sidious' success in becoming Emperor. Sidious' apprentice, Darth Vader, was thought to have been the last Dark Lord of the Sith, although several pretenders thought themselves worthy of the title.

Dark Reaper
This ancient Sith weapon was believed to have been lost, until Count Dooku - known to the Sith as Darth Tyranus - was dispatched by Darth Sidious to locate it, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The forces of the Old Republic were able to learn of Dooku's mission and intercept him, preventing an possible recovery of the weapon. The Dark Reaper itself was created during the time of the Great Sith War, and was most likely the idea of Exar Kun, Ulic Qel-Droma, and their fellow Sith. The Reaper itself was a saucer-shaped weapon that required a separate power source, known as the Force Harvester. The only known use of the device was recorded on Raxus Prime, when Exar Kun used it to destroy the Old Republic's forces on the outpost world.
In the wake of the Great Sith War, the Dark Reaper was broken into many parts, which were then scattered across the galaxy. Thousands of years later, when the Dark Reaper was to be activated by Dooku, the spirit of Ulic appeared to Anakin Skywalker on Thule. Ulic's spirit explained to the young Jedi how to destroy the device, a task that involved harnessing the Reaper's own energy without being corrupted by it. With Ulic's guidance, Anakin was able to destroy the Dark Reaper, ending the threat it posed to the rest of the galaxy.

Dark Side Adepts
Originally used to describe any non-Jedi who had a connection to the Dark Side of the Force, this term was used to describe the multitude of Jedi Knights and other Force-sensitive individuals who turned their backs on the Old Republic and joined the Galactic Empire, during the months following the end of the Clone Wars. Emperor Palpatine encouraged their defections, hoping to find among them a new apprentice, as he feared that Darth Vader was too badly damaged after his battle with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar. These new members of the Dark Side Adepts were trained by the Prophets of the Dark Side. Decades later, the reborn Emperor's New Imperial Council was made up of several of his fellow Dark Side followers. These individuals were also known as the Dark Side Adepts, and they served the reborn Emperor in many ways. He planned to have them dispersed throughout the galaxy, to spread his new regime, before he was killed on Byss.

Dark Side Elite
This was the name given to the seven warriors trained by Emperor Palpatine in the ways of the Dark Side of Force. The origins of the Dark Side Elite were found in Palpatine's Dark Side Compendium, which described a group of Dark Jedi who were totally immersed in the Emperor's will. Known by the title of Executor, each of the seven Elite was believed to have been utterly loyal to Palpatine. Their leader was Sedriss, and among their ranks were Vill Goir, Zasm Katth, Baddon Fass, Krdys Morid, Kvag Gthull, Tedryn-Sha, and Xecr Nist. Only one member of the Dark Side Elite was known to have deserted his service to the Emperor and returned to the Light Side of the Force. This individual was Kam Solusar. With the death of Emperor Palpatine on Onderon, and the destruction of his stronghold on Byss, the members of the Dark Side Elite were also eliminated. A second incarnation of the Dark Side Elite was nearly completed when the Dark Jedi Jerec assembled six followers and trained them in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force. This new incarnation of the Dark Side Elite was eventually defeated by Kyle Katarn, before they could gain access to the Valley of the Jedi on Ruusan and obtain unspeakable power.

Dark Side Familiar
This was the name given to any creature which had a basic connection with the Dark Side of the Force, but the link was too limited to use it.

(TOJ)
Dark Side Nexus
This term was used to describe any point in the time-space continuum that contained a great deal of Dark Side energy. These places were often guarded by Jedi Knights, so that the energies did not seduce passersby. One Dark Side nexus was located beneath a gnarled tree on the planetDagobah, and Yoda forced Luke Skywalker into it, to confront his heritage. It was rumored that another nexus was located beneath the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, which had been rebuilt in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong War.
(DESB, FJ1)
Dark Side of the Force
The ancient Jedi Knights developed a definition of the Force as being an energy field that had opposing sides which normally balanced each other. These became known as the Light Side and the Dark Side. The Dark Side of the Force was based on fear, anger, and aggression, and was known as the more seductive of the two, for its power and strength were easily obtained by the apprentice. However, the Dark Side was a cruel master. In return for its ease of initiation, it continually drained its servants' life-energy. Among the highest achievements in the mastery of the Dark Side was the succession from student to master. While this was also true of the Light Side, the Dark Side required that the student utterly destroy his master to prove his abilities.

Dark Times
This was a term used by the modern Jedi Knights of the New Republic to describe the period of galactic that surrounded the Jedi Purge and the formation of the Galactic Empire. The exact starting point of the Dark Time varied, depending on the historian, but it was generally agreed that it coincided with the rise to power of Senator Palpatine of Naboo, who would eventually become Emperor of the galaxy. The culmination of the Dark Times occurred at the height of the New Order, when the Jedi were all but extinct, and the galaxy was forced to live under the iron will of Emperor Palpatine. The open rebellion that occurred during the Galactic Civil War marked the beginning of the end of the Dark Times, which came to an end when the New Republic defeated Grand Admiral Thrawn and recaptured Coruscant. It was at this point that the only known Jedi Knight, Luke Skywalker, was able to begin training a new group of Jedi to protect the galaxy.

Dark Trooper
The Dark Trooper project was the brainchild of Imperial General Rom Mohc, a veteran of the Clone Wars who had seen first-hand the usefulness of combat droids against organic enemies. At their core, the Dark Troopers were specially-enhanced, fully-automated troopers that could be produced in sufficient qualities to overwhelm the armed forces of the Alliance. There were three phases of Dark Trooper development, all of which were designed and manufactured aboard the massive warship known as the Arc Hammer. The Phase One Dark Trooper was essentially a droid frame and its protective exoskeleton, and was equipped with knife-like armor and an arm-mounted shield. Although primitive, Phase One Dark Troopers were nonetheless relentless in their pursuit of a target. The use of phrik metal in the construction of the exoskeleton ensured that the Phase One Dark Trooper was capable of withstanding even the blade of a lightsaber. Phase Two Dark Troopers were designed to be the standard combat unit, using the same exoskeleton as the Phase One unit, but with additional armor plating. Armament was also improved, with assault cannons and rocket packs rounding the Phase Two Dark Trooper's formidable array. Like the Phase One unit, the Phase Two Dark Trooper was constructed with phrik metal, which was also used in the exterior plating to make them much tougher to dispatch in combat. The Phase Three Dark Trooper was never fully developed, but was designed to be the ultimate in droid combat automatons. The massive Phase Three Dark Trooper frame was armed with rocket tubes that could fire a variety of projectiles, including seeker missiles. For additional protection, the Phase Three unit was given enhanced shielding to further protect its phrik-metal plating. Unlike the Phase One and Phase Two units, the Phase Three Dark Trooper was designed to be used as a standalone unit or as an exocuit that could be worn by an organic soldier. Rom Mohc was the only known user of the Phase Three design, which he donned when he discovered that Kyle Katarn had infiltrated the Arc Hammer. The Dark Trooper project was smashed by Kyle Katarn when he defeated Mohc in combat and destroyed the Arc Hammer.

Dark Underlord
This ancient warlord was defeated in combat with the Mandalorian Mercs, during the era known as the New Sith Wars. Historians discovered that the Dark Underlord was a master of the Jar'Kai style of combat, and prefered to use Sith swords rather than lightsabers in combat. Rumors of his origins were all that remained, with some claiming that he had been called forth from the realm of Chaos by a Sith accolyte, while others claimed he was possessed by the spirit of General Xendor. Whatever his origins, the Dark Underlord took control of the new Sith order some 250 years after the death of Darth Ruin, forming the Black Knights on Malrev IV and leading them on a bloody rampage across the galaxy. During this time, the Jedi Master known as Murrtaggh made a deal with the Mandalorian Mercs, in an effort to put an end to the Dark Underlord's predations. While the Mandalorians engaged the Zeltron who served as the Dark Underlord's commander, Murrtaggh confronted the Dark Underlord himself. Unable to defeat him with his Jedi training, Murrtaggh allowed himself to be consumed by the Dark Side of the Force in order to finally kill the Dark Underlord, although he himself was also killed in the attempt.

Their ultimate goals were never known, but they had several tactics which made them stand out. They almost always freed the crews of the ships they attacked, unless the crew resisted capture. Then Abin-Ral-Xufush ordered his pirates to execute them immediately. Slave cargoes were always stolen by the Dark Wing fleet, although they were never seen again. Many believed the slaves were absorbed into the pirate fleet's crew. Note that this pirate gang is referred to as the Shadow Wing on the Wizards of the Coast website.

Dark Wolf
This was a ferocious beast that was native to the planet Sriluur. Some Weequays were known to tame one, and those individuals that could were considered among the strongest of their kind. Known as a raquor'daan in the Sriluurian tongue, the dark wolf was a nocturnal predator that lived in the southern hemisphere of Sriluur. The dark wolf hunted with its poisonous claws and a tail that was tipped with a stinger. The thick skin of a dark wolf protected it from attack, as well as from an inadvertent jab from its tail. The Weequay name for the dark wolf came from the god Ra'quor, who was known to roam the planet Sriluur in the form of a huge, obsidian-furred canine.
(AIR, SWJ6, GORW)
Dark Woman
This mysterious Jedi Master was born with the name An'ya Kuro, but she shed the name - along with the rest of her possessions - when she became a Jedi Knight. It was the Dark Woman who discovered the existence of Ki-Adi-Mundi, when the Cerean was four years of age. Despite his age, she was able to convice the Jedi Council to train him, and he was eventually schooled by Yoda himself. The Dark Woman was also known for her inability to train Aurra Sing. Through no fault of her own, the Dark Woman could not get the future bounty hunter to become attuned to the Force, and carried Aurra's betrayal like a stone around her neck. The Dark Woman was distinguished by her silvery hair and strong features, and was known among the members of the Jedi Council for her highly unorthodox training methods, including the outright provocation of alien students. She visited Ki-Adi-Mundi on Coruscant, just before he left for Tatooine to seek out Sharad Hett, to warn him of the dangers she had forseen. Shortly afterward, there were rumors of her death, but she reappeared on Coruscant during A'Sharad Hett's training. The Dark Woman offered to take over the young Padawan's education from Ki-Adi-Mundi, in an effort to curb his anger over the death of this father. As the Old Republic began to crumble, the Dark Woman fled to the planet Cophrigim 5 to retire and allow the Force to guide her life. The Force drew her out of retirement during the Clone Wars, and the Dark Woman participated in several undercover missions. On a mission to Devaron to locate a Separatist base, she and Jedi Master Tholme were nearly killed by her former student, Aurra Sing. Aayla Secura managed to defeat the bounty hunter, and both the Dark Woman and Master Tholme were returned to Coruscant for treatment. During the Jedi Purge which was ordered by Emperor Palpatine, the Dark Woman was hunted down and executed by Darth Vader. Her body disappeared upon her death, however, and the Dark Woman became one with the Force. In the place where her body had died, a beautiful flower sprang up. Vader promptly destroyed the plant, confirming his embrace of the Dark Side of the Force.

Dark, The
According to the Sorcerers of Rhand, the Dark was essentially the hidden power of the universe itself. As described by the Way of the Dark, the One Truth in the universe was that the only real power in the universe was the power to destroy. Destruction was permanent, leaving behind a void - the Dark - where a being or object used to be. This belief transcended the notions of life and the Force, since the Dark was only thing that was permanent. Ultimately, everything in the universe would be consumed by the Dark. In this way, the Dark was essentially the energy that pushed against stars and galaxies away from each other, forcing each entity toward its eventual destruction. However, with intense training and sacrfice, certain individuals could learn to compel the Dark to respond to their will. Lord Cronal was able to find a way to touch the Dark when he discovered meltmassif stone, and the energy beings that lived inside its crystalline matrix. These energy beings had lived on Taspan II for eons, simply existing in the planet's barren crust, with nothing to show them the life in the rest of the galaxy. Cronal took advantage of the desolation in these beings' existence, and used the meltmassif to connect his Imperial forces in a network of Darkness. During his struggle to defeat Cronal at the Battle of Mindor, Luke Skywalker later discovered that the Dark was essentially the absence of light, and used his own connection to the Force to flood the Dark with the bright light of goodness. In this way, he was able to connect with every being in every piece of meltmassif stone and show them that there was more to life than the Dark. With Cronal's death, the energy beings, known as Melters, were able to break free of the Dark. They left the bodies in which they had been implanted, and returned to their own existence.

Darkening
This was the term used by the Sorcerers of Rhand to describe the process by which an individual was forced onto the Way of the Dark, so that one Sorcerer could take over their mind and move their consciousness into a new body.

(LSSM)
Darker
This green, reptilian beast, cloaked in red robes, was the physical manifestation of all the instinctual anger, fear, and hatred that the ancient natives of Arbra drained from themselves. These ancient Arbrans, long extinct at the height of the New Order, had attempted to rid themselves of negative feelings by trapping the negative energies in an underground cavern, kept from escaping by an unusual form of force screen. After these energies reached a certain "critical mass", they coalesced into the being known as the Darker. It lurked on the planet in a sort of hibernation for eons before the Alliance established Haven Base on Arbra. The Darker awoke and realized that the Alliance might have the technology necessary to free itself. Using a mental form of communication, it lured R2-D2 into its underground cavern and captured the droid. The Darker hoped to use its parts, along with the components of C-3PO, to deactivate the force screen and be freed. Chewbacca, who had accompanied C-3PO to locate R2-D2, tried to shoo thte Darker, but was thrown from the chamber. This allowed Chewbacca to voercome the negative thoughts used by the Darker, and the Wookiee returned to face the Darker. Chewbacca found himself aided by a small band of brave Hoojibs, and they managed to overcome the Darker's superior mental strength. C-3PO told Chewbacca that the Darker could be destroyed, and the Wookiee heaved the Darker into the force screen that had once contained it. This disintegrated the Darker, and also brought down the ancient force screen.

Darklighter, Biggs
A boyhood friend of Luke Skywalker's on Tatooine, Biggs was born into a wealthy family of food merchants on Tatooine. His father gave him everything he wanted, except love, and Biggs struggled to fit in with the other young adults at Anchorhead. He became good friends with Luke Skywalker, however, when Luke saw through the rich-boy image to the real person inside Biggs. When Biggs' father's position and wealth provided a chance for him to attend the Academy, Biggs was hardly in a position to decline. He said goodbye to his friends and went off to the Academy, graduating with honors receiving a commission aboard the Rand Ecliptic. Biggs served under the Evader squadron aboard the Ecliptic, along with Hobbie Klivian, under Captain Heliesk. Both of them had contact with the Alliance, and helped Biggs became aware of the atrocities of the Empire. After a brief stop-over on Tatooine to say goodbye to Luke and his other friends, Biggs, Hobbie, and some others mutinied at Bestine and jumped ship to join the Alliance, with the help of Captain Heliesk. When the time came to do battle with the Empire at Yavin, Biggs was named one of the X-wing pilots in Red Squadron. On Yavin 4, he was reunited with Luke just prior to the battle. In the Alliance's final run at the Death Star's polar trench, Biggs was killed while protecting Luke's back from the onrushing Imperial TIE Fighters.

Darklighter, Gavin
A native of Tatooine, Gavin was one of the most decorated members of Rogue Squadron. He was a cousin of Biggs Darklighter, and was just ten when Biggs died at the Battle of Yavin. He was only sixteen when Wedge Antilles suggested that he be allowed to join. He was responsible for creating the emblem of Rogue Squadron, which featured a twelve-pointed, red star surrounding the blue symbol of the Alliance. Radiating from the points of the star were X-Wing fighters.
When Rogue Squadron resigned its commission with the New Republic after the liberation of Coruscant, Gavin painted his X-Wing to resemble a krayt dragon. As the Rogues liberated Ciruscant, Gavin found himself drawn to the Bothan pilot, Asyr Sei'lar, and they became romantically involved. Their relationship was nearly shattered when Gavin's X-Wing was damaged during the capture of the Xucphra Alazhi. He limped to Halanit, only to have the Corrupter and the Thyferran Home Defense Corps track the colony down. Erisi Dlarit made him believe it was his own flight that led the Imperials to Halanit, but it was really Ysanne Isard tracing the shipment of bacta to its source. Gavin assisted the settlers as much as he could, but he was unable to stop the destruction of their outpost.
After several more battles and as their relationship deepened, Gavin and Asyr decided to get married and adopt children. Unbeknownst to Gavin, Asyr was blocked in her attempt to locate a Bothan child by Borsk Fey'lya. She resolved to bring about change to the Bothan society, but was unsure how to do it. When she collided with an enemy fighter over Corvis Minor Five, everyone believed she was dead, including Gavin. He mourned her deeply, but resolved himself to continue her noble ways. He was unaware that she survived the crash, but that was Asyr's wish.
In the years that followed, Gavin grew more and more into a capable leader. Gavin eventually married Sera Faleur, and the couple adopted two boys who had been orphaned by the campaign against Grand Admiral Thrawn. Later, the couple gave birth to a daughter, a third son, and eventually a second daughter. Shortly after the birth of his second daughter, Gavin was chosen to succeed Wedge Antilles and Tycho Celchu as Commander of Rogue Squadron some twenty years after the Battle of Endor, and was in command of the squadron when the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy began.
Despite his military background, Gavin found himself embroiled in a political struggle when Jaina Solo joined the Rogues. Her stature as a Jedi Knight put her at odds with many members of the Senate, and Gavin was forced to placed her on extended leave. He realized his mistake, however, and allowed Jaina to fly with the Rogues during the destruction of the Yuuzhan Vong shipwomb near the remains of Sernpidal. As the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong intensified, Gavin and Rogue Squadron were called back to defend the planet Coruscant. Gavin found himself serving under the reinstated Colonel Tycho Celchu, as part of the Planetary Defense Force.
In the wake of the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong, Gavin promoted to Commodore and given command of the Star Destroyer Mon Mothma, and was serving under Nek Bwua'tu during the blockade of the Utegetu Nebula. After the end of the Swarm War, Gavin remained in the Galactic Alliance military, earning a promotion to Rear Admiral during the Corellia-GA War. As the conflict spread to involve The Confederation, Gavin was transferred to serve under Admiral Ratobo in the Fourth Fleet. The defense of Balmorra was insufficient to handle the combined Commenorian and Huttese forces there, and the flagship Peacebringer was destroyed in the fighting. Gavin found himself promoted to full Admiral by Jacen Solo, and managed to drive off the Commenorian warships, even though the Hutts gained control of the planet's surface. Gavin then began to have misgivings that were similar to Admiral Ratobo's, when Jacen ordered him to destroy any remaining Hutt warships before their could flee, leaving the Balmorrans to fend for themselves.

Darklighter, Huff
Biggs Barklighter's father, Huff owned dozens of moisture farms on Tatooine, and bought water from other farmers at cut-rate prices. Some of the water he used in his own hydroponics facilities, while most was sold to other settlers at a high profit. He used his ability to locate water to become one of the planet's largest food magnates. In turn, he used his wealth to make sure Biggs got everything he deserved from life. Huff was not above bribing the local officials - both terrestrial and Imperial - to maintain his stature. He held his son in highest regard, and truly believed that Biggs was the only hero of the Battle of Yavin. Huff went so far as to say that Wedge Antilles was less than a hero for leaving the battle, despite the fact that Wedge was ordered out by Luke Skywalker. Huff tried to obtain ownership of the Lars moisture farm on Tatooine by initiating an alien landowner tax. The tax was geared toward breaking the alien Throgg's financial reserves, but Gavin's father intervened and bought the farm before Huff could enforce the tax. Huff's dealings with the Imperial prefect on Tatooine allowed him a greater latitude in his dealings, and he worked hard to keep his competition at bay. However, Huff wasn't perfect. He was tricked and swindled by Lirin Banolt, but managed to obtain an Imperial data disk containing information on the Eidolon Base weapons cache. The plans were stolen from his residence, but were eventually recovered by Rogue Squadron. Note that The Essential Guide to Characters lists Huff's name as Hutt.

Gavin Darklighter's father and Huff Darklighter's brother, Jula was almost a twin to Huff in facial appearance. Jula, however, was a hands-on farmer who lacked the corpulence of wealth, and he did not have a moustache. He was unusually composed and restrained when in the company of Huff's lack of manners. During the early years of the New Republic, Jula and his wife Silya maintained the Darklighter Farm moisture farm, which included an on-site hostel for visitors.

Darklighter, Rasca
This woman was Gavin Darklighter's sister. She opposed the military build-up created by the Bothans in the wake of the death of Thrawn and the Caamasi Incident. Her distaste for war and the military rose primarily from the fact that her husband had been killed during the battle against the Yevetha. She took her children and moved in with Gavin, originally just until they got their lives back together, However, Gavin and his wife Sera Faleur allowed them to remain as long as they wished.

Darklighter Cave
This cave, located beneath the land owned by the Darklighter family on Tatooine, served as a warehouse for their goods during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The cave itself was hidden in the rocky mountains of the desert, and provided a naturally cool and dry environment to store anything from foodstuffs and medicine to equipment and technology. Just after the Battle of Yavin, a group of Desert Demons thugs managed to bully their way into the cave, and they controlled it for a short time before an Imperial spy eliminated them while searching for a missing cargo.

Darkmeld
This was a secret code phrase used by Jaina Solo and her closest comrades within the new Jedi Order, during the years following the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. The code phrase was only to be used whenever Jaina and her friends discovered something that required their immediate attention, but also required them to act without the knowledge of the Masters' Council. Tekli invoked the Darkmeld code phrase when she discovered Seff Hellin sneaking around the prison facility where Valin Horn was kept, and the Jedi put a daring plan in motion to capture Hellin. Among the other members of the Darkmeld unit were Jagged Fel, Tahiri Veila, and Winter Celchu. They later recruited Mirax Horn to join the group, and only their numbers helped them eventually capture Hellin.

Darkmere, Evram
A native of Daupherm, this man was the son of a notorious female pirate, and was forced to raise himself and his younger brother, Garreck, when their mother was killed in a battle between the Daupherm Planet States and the Botor Enclave. Evram was conscripted into the Daupherm Merchant Space Fleet, and rose from being a cabin boy to an officer before being drafted by the Daupherm military. After his five-year tour of duty was up, he assisted his former Captain, Shrulldike, in stealing a Daupherm cruiser and setting out on their own. They named their new ship the Retribution and planned to become smugglers, but Shrulldike eventually turned to running slaves for a living. Darkmere chafed at this course of action, and eventually defeated Shrulldike in combat to take control of the ship. Evram decided to challenge Shrulldike after meeting Nelson Flin and Arsitta Kushoe. Kushoe convinced Evram to support the Alliance, and he found himself unable to continue running slaves. He reformed his crew, and began more respectable cargoes. He also passed on important information to Nelson Flin and the Alliance, using his underworld contacts to gather data on Imperial movements in the sector.

Darkmoon
This mercenary vessel was hired by an ancient Sith Lord to launch a surprise attack against the forces of the Old Republic, during the years following the Great Sith War. The Sith Lord believed that he could seriously challenge the rule of Darth Malak, but needed to act in secrecy until he was strong enough. Thus, he hired the Darkmoon instead of using one of his own ships, which might have been recognized. However, the naval forces of the Old Republic learned of the plot, and managed to intercept the Darkmoon before it could launch its attack. The ship was badly damaged in the resulting conflict, and was forced to land on a remote moon that was controlled by a group of pirates.

This ancient, hyperspace jump beacon was used in the early days of interstellar travel to guide spacers to Darknon Station and avoid the Itani Nebula. By the era of the New Order, the Beacon was little more than a piece of interstellar junk, stationary between the Station and the Nebula.
(PSPG)
Darknon Station
This decrepit space station was originally a way station for travelers who were moving along the Itani Run. Over time, as the Itani Run became less and less used, Darknon Station evolved into a backwater haven for smugglers and independent spacers. At the time of the Battle of Yavin, only six of its eighteen docking bays were operational, and there were limited repair services and accommodations. There were a multitude of rumors that the space station was haunted, and the station's controller, Rexis Lovech, was mentally unstable. Most spacers believed that the Station was subsidized by the Empire, because an armed, monthly supply ship stopped at Darknon for many years.

Darksaber
The name given to the modified Death Star design created by Bevel Lemelisk for Durga the Hutt, the Darksaber station was an elongated version of the original. Durga used his pet taurills to help steal the plans from the original Death Star from the hidden computer files that were maintained by the New Republic on Coruscant. The Darksaber station was stripped of a number of unnecessary items, including TIE fighter hangers, crew quarters, AT-AT storage, and docking bays. Lemelisk rightly believed that Durga had no need of these; he just needed a superweapon with which to control the galaxy. The rounded cylinder of the Darksaber housed a longer, more powerful superlaser, which drew increased power from the station's existing generators simply because they didn't have to support all of the other systems. The superlaser was aligned along the longer axis of the station (much the way Umak Leth mounted the superlaser on the Eclipse-class Star Destroyer), and when activated the entire station and its beam resembled a huge, spaceborne lightsaber. Thus, Lemelisk dubbed the station "Darksaber." The Darksaber was constructed with the materials collected by the Orko SkyMine ships Durga had built. The living spaces of the station were designed to house hundreds of Hutts and their retinues. The project was beset with mishaps, due to the frugality of Durga, the ineptness of Sulamar, and the distractibility of the taurills who did the construction. Only Lemelisk's persistence kept it moving. However, when Durga finally took control of the ship, his frugality got the best of him. The station never made it out of the Hoth asteroid belt, as its superlaser failed to punch a path through the space rubble. The Darksaber was crushed between two huge planetoids and exploded, killing Durga in the destruction.
(DS)
Darksaber
This was an ancient form of lightsaber that was first developed by an unknown race of beings. Like a lightsaber, the darksaber used a controlled shaft of energy to create the blade. However, where a lightsaber blade glowed white at its core and was colored at the outer edges of the blade, the darksaber had a jet black core that crackled with white-hot energy along its blade. Very few of these weapons survived beyond the era of the New Sith Wars, although it was believed that the ancient Mandalorians managed to steal one from the Jedi Temple at some point during the height of the Old Republic.

Darksight
This was the term used by Lord Cronal and the Sorcerers of Rhand to describe the visions of the future they received from comtemplating the Way of the Dark. Similar to the Heartshadows experienced by the Nightsisters of Dathomir, the Darksight was a powerful vision of the future, transcending simple precognition to provide Cronal with a clear idea of what his path should be. By contemplating the Way of the Dark and aligning oneself with it, the Rhandites believed that a being could literally create the future, rather than simply predicting it. Lord Cronal was believed to have perfected this use of the Darksight, which he used to shape the history of the New Order. However, the only way this would work was if Cronal had created a future that ended with destruction, in holding to the One Truth.

Darkstaff
This ancient Sith artifact was believed to have been the cause of the disappearance of the planet Cularin and the entire Cularin System, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. Len Markus was observed removing something from the Cularin System's asteroid belt, an event which preceded the appearance of strange creatures hiding among the asteroids. Shortly afterward, the Cularin System disappeared for several years, before reappearing just as suddenly.
According to ancient tomes unearthed on Almas, the Darkstaff was originally discovered by Darth Rivan, who had strange dreams about being called by the artifact. Rivan believed that it was the Darkstaff that drew him to Almas and the Cularin System, hoping to use him as a way to leave the system. Further investigation led Rivan to believe that the Darkstaff was not intentionally created, but was rather the regrettable byproduct of another experiment by an ancient Dark Jedi.
Measuring a meter in length and four centimeters in diameter, the Darkstaff seemed to consume any light around it. It also consumed any Force energy around it, literally feeding on the Force. The Darkstaff, according to Rivan's dreams, had already caused the destruction of the planet Oblis in the Cularin System, and had been hidden away to prevent any further catastrophe. A nexus of dark side power, he believed, was the aftermath of this event. The Darkstaff wanted to be discovered by Rivan so that he could use it as a weapon against his enemies, so it invaded his dreams. Its release would allow the Darkstaff to gain power, both for itself and over Rivan, until it eventually consumed Rivan himself.
Rivan, however, refused to go in search of the artifact, fearing that its release would cause great damage to the galaxy. Millennia later, Darth Rivan's writings were discovered by the Jedi Knights who built the Almas Academy. Word of the Darkstaff reached the ears of Len Markus, who set out to locate it. Many believe that Markus actually found the Darkstaff, and that its release from captivity was the cause of the disappearance of the entire Cularin System, shortly after the Battle of Naboo.
The eventual destruction of the Darkstaff returned Cularin to the normal galaxy and freed the Oblee, who were the unusual shadow lurkers discovered in the Cularin Asteroid Belt. This discovery also led to the knowledge that the ancient Oblee had been using the Darkstaff to defend their homeworld of Oblis from a shadowy creature on unknown intent, when the weapon unleashed enough power to destroy the planet. This killed the bodies of the Oblee but left their consciousness in a shadow realm known as the continuum. From this strange realm, the Oblee tried to hide the Darkstaff in the asteroid belt, hoping that it would never be found, but dooming themselves to an existence as shadow lurkers. Only the heroic efforts of a group of freelance agents freed the Oblee, and later eliminated the Darkstaff.

Darkstar, Shannur
This Jedi Knight was part of the archaeological team which was assembled by Ermin Phin-Mar, some 3,000 years before the Battle of Naboo, to investigate the ancient Pelgrin civilization. It was Darkstar and her fellow Jedi who discovered that the Oracle at Pelgrin had a deep connection to the Force, and eventually brought the Oracle back to life by meditating in one of its upper chambers. As the Oracle surged to life, Darkstar had a vision of the future in which she foresaw a great battle between the Jedi Knights and a group of Sith adherents. Jedi historians later inferred that she had seen a vision of the Battle of Ruusan.

Darkstick
This traditional Kerestian weapon resembled a flat piece of metal about two centimeters thick, seven centimeters wide, and fifteen centimeters long. One end was rounded, while the other was squared off. This part of the weapon was the handle, and had a power stud located about midway along its length. When depressed, the stud activated the weapon, extruding a pure black blade of light that bent slightly as it projects outward. The activated weapon resembled a boomerang, and could be wielded in the hand or thrown. The deep black blade could cut through most any material, making it difficult to catch when thrown. Some Kerestians created darksticks that had hollow tips, in which they could place poisons or explosives. The name "darkstick" came from Kerestian legends that said a being's soul was resigned to eternal darkness upon the death of the body. Thus, the darkstick was used to deliver another being into the Great Darkness. Note that The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology indicates that the blade of a darkstick was forged from lightweight metals, which were impregnated with light-absorbing cells to literally create darkness around the blade.

DarkStryder
This unusual form of technology was discovered in the Kathol Rift by Kentor Sarne, but he had no idea how it worked or what it did. This organic technology was originally created by the ancient Kathol, and had been maintained by the bio-engineered construct known as DarkStryder. DarkStryder had, in fact, managed to learn some aspects of the technology in the millennia which it had been gaurding the Lifewell, but was unable to fathom it all. Sarne spent Imperial resources - without reporting their true mission - trying to determine the operation of various pieces of DarkStryder technology, but teams of scientists and technicians were still unable to determine its use. In the end, the technology was lost when DarkStryder was killed during the Battle of Kathol. The fortress which DarkStryder had been protecting collapsed in on itself, unable to survive without DarkStryder's support. The technology hidden within the fortress was also destroyed.
(DARK, KR, E)
DarkStryder
This was the name used by Moff Kentor Sarne to describe the immense creature that was created by the Kathol, the original inhabitants of Kathol Sector, to protect the traces of their vanished civilization by guarding the Lifewell. The name given to DarkStryder by the ancient Kathol was virtually unpronounceable by modern species. An fifteen-meter tall, insectoid thing with thin-legged segments and a vicious skull, DarkStryder was fueled by an ancient technology that spewed violet light whenever it opened its mouth. DarkStryder was essentially a huge, bio-organic supercomputer, designed to be highly intelligent and able to react to any situation. It evolved over the millennia of its confinement on the planet Kathol, building a huge fortress and learning the Kathol's bio-engineering technology to create servants to help it run the fortress. Eventually, DarkStryder desired to leave the planet, wishing to explore the galaxy. To this end, DarkStryder agreed to help Moff Sarne gain power through the use of what became known as DarkStryder technology, in return for a working, hyperspace-capable ship. Sarne realized that this would be dangerous, and found new ways to hold off DarkStryder's departure. When the crew of the FarStar arrived at Kathol and tried to destroy Sarne, DarkStryder saw its chances of escape fading. It sent a variety of failed, experimental creatures against the New Republic's forces, but was unable to defeat them. In the end, Halbret managed to reopen the Lifewell and set the Kathol free, and DarkStryder was destroyed. When DarkStryder died, the fortress which it had built collapsed in on itself, utterly destroying any trace of the bio-techology of the Kathol.

This was the term used by the New Republic Intelligence Agency to describe the events which started with the Siege of Kal'Shebbol and ended with the Battle of Kathol. With the destruction of DarkStryder and the Kathol technologies, the NRI decided that it was in the best public interest to release no information on the events. They feared that the galaxy, which had barely survived the Galactic Civil War, would panic if it discovered that unknown technologies and powerful, ancient races were still at large in the galaxy.

This was the term used by the Sorcerers of Rhand to describe the ability to commune with the Dark and bend it to one's will. The strength of a being's Darktouch was related to their commitment to the Way of the Dark, and to the destruction of all things in the universe. As long as a Rhandite was aligned with the Way of the Dark, their Draktouch would remain. Any movement away from destruction would begin an all but irreversible reduction in the Darktouch, until the wayward Rhandite was finally destroyed by their own lack of commitment.

Darktrin, Finn
This man was an undercover agent who worked for the Empire during the height of the New Order. He held the rank of Commander in the Imperial armed forces at the time of the Battle of Yavin, and was often under the supervision of Darth Vader himself, working to infiltrate the ranks of the Alliance and learn the whereabouts of Alliance bases and personnel. One aspect of his double agent role was to make contacts in the criminal underworld, and Finn was able to earn the respect of the Feeorin pirate Nym. About a year after the Battle of Yavin, Finn was assigned to recover the holocron which had been left behind at the Alliance base on Dantooine. In order to complete the mission, Finn insinuated himself close to Leia Organa, and was able to earn the mission as an Alliance agent. He needed someone who could handle Dantooine's varied ecosystem, and was able to recruit Dusque Mistflier to the Alliance's cause. Unknown to Dusque, Finn accomplished this by having her partner, Tendau Nandon, executed on suspicion of being an Alliance supporter. Finn then preyed upon her emotions, knowing that she would want to avenge the death of her friend. His hunches proved accurate, and they set out on their mission. During the trip to Dantooine and the struggle to find the ancient Jedi base, Finn and Dusque began to fall in love, although neither would admit to it. Finn was at odds with himself over the emotion, since he knew that he would have to either convince to rejoin the Empire or kill her at the end of the mission. On Dantooine, Dusque was able to help him recover the holocron. However, as he tried to download its contents and transmit them to his nearest contact, Dusque discovered his actions and destroyed the holocron. Unable to allow her to return to the Alliance with the knowledge of his betrayal, Finn stabbed Dusque in the chest and then fled. He returned to Vader with only a few of the name hidden on the holocron, and expected to be executed for his failure. Vader, however, sensed a growing anger in him and allowed him to live. Finn retained a place in his heart for Dusque, however, and grudgingly refused to give away the location of the Alliance's base on Corellia.

Darman
This was the nickname of one of the four clone troopers in the Theta Squad of commandos, which participated in the Battle of Geonosis. Officially designated RC-1136, Darman was the only member of the squad to survive the fighting. A demolitions expert, Darman was noted for his use of a Wookiee bowcaster on missions. In the wake of the fighting on Geonosis, Darman was reassigned to Omega Squad, and dispatched to Qiilura to locate Ovolot Qail Uthan. In order to infiltrate the planet, Omega Squad flew in on a renovated Narsh crop-sprayer, but the vehicle caught a bird in one of its engines and plummeted to the ground.
Although the rest of Omega Squd landed safely, Darman was thrown several hundred meters from the crash site. He sustained several injuries, including severe damage to his right leg, but was able to recover. As he made his way to one of the pre-assigned rendezvous points, he met up with Etain Tur-Mukan. Given his military training and Etain's Jedi training, Darman was surprised to learn that the two were attracted to each other. He liked her presence, and made every effort to support her and protect her as they made their way back to the rest of Omega Squad. He was also fascinated by her lightsaber, but realized that she needed more melee combat skills. He located two poles and sparred with her in combat, honing her lightsaber skills while enhancing both their fighting skills at the same time.
During the final assault on Uthan's facilities, Darman was forced to admit that he was apprehensive about confined spaces, when he and his teammates were forced to enter the facility through a series of gdan tunnels. After the succesful capture of Uthan and their extraction to a rendezvous point, Darman was surprised to learn that Etain had arranged for him to stay behind on Qiilura to help with the clean-up efforts. Darman had to refuse, however, opting to remain with Omega Squad and leaving Qiilura behind for another battle. They were reunited sometime later, when they were brought together as part of Kal Skirata's black-ops mission to smash a Separatist-funded terrorist ring on Coruscant. While on the mission, Etain professed her love for Darman, who also had not been able to forget her. Rather than being rational, they both agreed to allow their relationship to become physical.
Unknown to Darman, Etain had used the Force to manipulate her internal organs, and had become pregnant with his child. Kal Skirata was exceptionally angry with her, and ordered her to remain on Qiilura, under the watchful eye of Jinart, until it was time to have the baby. In the meantime, Skirata kept the news from Darman, in order to help the commando keep his mind on the war. Despite this prohibition, Darman was able to contact Etain as often as possible, and their relationship continued to deepen. However, he was careful to keep his conversations private, so as not to upset Fi or other clones who had trouble adjusting to the outside world.
It was during the interrogation of the rogue ARC Trooper known as Sull that Darman and many of his comrades came to several realizations about their places in the galaxy. The first thing they realized was that, at least as far as the Republic was concerned, there was no life for a clone trooper after the end of the war. They had been bred for a single purpose, and once they had fulfilled that purpose, they were essentially expendable. The next thing Darman discovered was that he actually liked being alive, but that he wasn't sure how he would handle life after the war. These two thoughts led him to the hope that the Republic was going to provide the surviving clones with a way of life after the war, and not simply dispose of them. This hope was brought into question when Darman was forced to shoot and kill two clone troopers who had been dispatched to bring Sull into captivity. Darman had been cleaning out Sull's apartment when the other clones arrived, and he shot them both dead as a reaction to their sudden appearance.
After cleaning up this situation, the clone commandos of Omega Squad were faced with the reality that clones were being dispatched to execute other clones, which only served to bring their loyalty to the Republic into question. Darman's own concerns were only heighted when Fi was badly injured on Gaftikar. He and his squad mates traveled to Coruscant to make sure he was cared for, and Darman witnessed the callousness with which the Republic's medical personnel treated clones. The surgical droids refused to work on Fi, since they had declared him brain-dead. Only the efforts of Besany Wennen and Jaller Obrim managed to get Fi the right medical care. Although trooper Corr was assigned to fill in for Fi, Darman found it hard to imagine an operation without his fellow commando.
During a return to Coruscant, Darman and the other Omegas were introduced to Kal Skirata's new grandchild, Venku. When asked by the other Omegas what he would name a son, Darman replied that Kad seemed like a good Mandalorian name. Darman couldn't put a finger on it, but despite Skirata's obvious elation at having a grandchild, he seemed out of sorts around the clones. Darman agreed to hold the child for a brief time, and noticed that Etain also seemed uncomfortable around the baby. Skirata waved off the emotions, and gave Darman a credit chip, telling him to take Etain and spend a few days alone together, to get their minds off the war. Soon afterward, they were split up again when Etain was dispatched to Haurgab. They were briefly reunited aboard GAR Station Nerrif, where Etain finally explained to Darman that Skirata's grandson was actually their child.
Darman was shocked at this news, and felt betrayed that he seemed to be the only person who didn't know the truth about the child. He stormed off, explaining that he needed to take a walk and clear his head. He was glad to have his helmet on, because it allowed him to yell and scream without being heard by anyone else. The more he thought about it, the more Darman became concerned about whether or not he trusted those who were closest to him, and whether or not they trusted him. He also began to feel an overwhelming desire to see his child, despite the fact that he had no idea how to operate as a father, and the closest thing to a father he had ever had - Kal Skirata - was one of the people who hadn't trusted him with the knowledge of his son. Darman then confronted Skirata, and demanded to know why he had not been told the truth. Kal tried to explain that he kept the news of Darman's son a secret out of love for him, but something in Darman's mind refused to accept this. Darman suddenly began punching Skirata, and Skirata took every punch until Darman had exhausted himself. Although Darman was horrified at what he had done, Skirata took all the blame before embracing Darman, and all anger drained out of him.
Following this cathartic experience, Darman decided that he would be able to return to Etain and meet their son. He explained that he wanted the boy to be raised as a Mandalorian, not a Jedi, and Etain was quick to agree with this, knowing that the Jedi Order was no place for their son. Etain was then shipped off to Kashyyyk, as part of the Republic's plans to liberate the planet from Separatist control, while Darman and Omega Squad remained on Coruscant. This separation gave Darman some time to think things through, and prompted him to send Etain a message that contained the words to the traditional Mandalorian wedding contract. Etain eventually responded in kind, completing the marriage contract. In a stroke of luck, the separation between Darman and Etain occurred just before the command was issued to execute Order 66. Darman heard the command, and a part of his mind knew that he had to follow orders, but he also knew that there was nothing in the galaxy that would make him kill his own wife.
Things went from bad to worse when Etain somehow managed to return to Coruscant in order to rendezvous with Darman. She was able to shed her Jedi robes, but was trapped on the Shinarcan Bridge while trying to reach him. A group of Jedi Padawans tried to fight their way clear of the clone troopers who were maintaining order at the bridge, and Etain was killed when she tried to defend the clones. Darman was shocked and confused at Etain's death, but when the Padawan tried to escape and pushed Niner off the bridge, his combat instincts kicked in. He rushed to Niner's aid, knowing that Etain was dead but unable to leave a wounded comrade. Thus, Darman and Niner were stranded on Coruscant while waiting for a medical evacuation, and they were conscripted into the Army of the Empire. Both clones were shipped off to Centax 2 for medical assessment. In order to survive in the new Imperial Army, however, Darman found that he had to lock his old self away in a far corner of his mind, so that the emotions of those final days on Coruscant did not come flooding back.

Dar'manda
This Mando'a word referred to a state of no longer being a Mandalorian. It did not refer to an offworlder or outsider, as did aruetii, but denoted an individual who had lost his heritage, his identity, and his soul. Many traditional Mandalorians feared this state of being, as anyone deemed dar'manda was considered a dead man.

Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Darnada was invovled in a meeting with Hath Monchar, who had planned to sell information on the upcoming blockade of Naboo to the highest bidder. Darnada, whose business was more inclined toward the sale of spice and other drugs, could not believe the wild tale of the Neimoidian, and sent him back to the Trade Federation. Unfortunately, Hath Monchar was telling the truth, and Darth Sidious was unable to allow even Darnada to survive after hearing it. Darth Sidious sent his apprentice, Darth Maul, to clean up any loose ends caused by Hath Monchar's duplicity. Maul killed Feen Fenoob, who owed Darnada a huge sum of credits, in order to be captured and brought before the Dug. His passivity was cast aside upon meeting with Darnada, and Maul executed almost everyone aboard the space station, including Darnada himself. Maul then destroyed the station, thereby eliminating any possible ties back to his master.

Dar'nala
This female Togruta was one of the Jedi Masters who agreed to meet with representatives of the Sith Empire, during the final years of the Great Galactic War. Master Dar'nala and her former apprentice, Satele Shan, traveled to Alderaan for the negotiations. When Lord Baras drew his lightsaber before the negotiations could begin, Master Dar'nala and Shan were quick to respond. However, they were both surprised when Baras explained that he did not want to fight, but wanted to continue the peace talks. However, Lord Angral had attacked Coruscant and taken the Supreme Chancellor hostage, in order to ensure that the negotiations were carried out on the terms defined by the Sith. After they learned that the Chancellor had been killed by Angral, the two Jedi drew their weapons in order to defend themselves from a Sith attack, but Lord Baras explainde that he was only there to negotiate for peace. Master Dar'nala agreed to stand down, but Satele refused to lower her weapon. Dar'nala had to reprimand her former student, and was later ordered by Master Zym to have Satele apologize to the Sith for her actions.
Despite the death of the Supreme Chancellor, the leaders of the Republic agreed to sign the Treaty of Corusant, and Master Zym ordered Dar'nala and Shan to the Outer Rim Territories, ostensibly to monitor the withdrawal of Republic troops from Sith-held worlds. Master Dar'nala chafed at the order, knowing that Zym had simply wanted them well away from Coruscant during the implementation of the peace treaty. Before they could reach their destination, however, the ship Envoy was attacked by Sith vessels, and Master Dar'nala was captured. She ordered Satele Shan to make her own escape and return to warn the Jedi Council, hoping that word of the Sith treachery would actually reach the ears of Master Zym. Dar'nala herself was tortured and interrogated by the Sith, who wanted to know why she and her companions had refused to stand down. When she refused, the Sith forced her to endure endless electrical shocks that nearly killed her. With the last of her strength, Master Dar'nala freed the bounty hunter Braden and asked him to take her message to Satele Shan and Master Zym, in exchange for his freedom. She was taken aboard the Sith vessel with the Wookiee hunter Dalborra and interrogated, and the commanding officer surmised that she had captured the Wookiee. The commander then gave Dalborra the power to kill Master Dar'nala, which he appeared to do without hesitation, sending a massive jolt of electricity through the binders she was wearing.
In reality, the jolt only rendered Dar'nala unconscious, and Dalborra was able to help her escape from the Sith and return to Dantooine. There, she learned that the Sith Lords were planning to attack Dantooine, and asked for assistance from Lieutenant Tavus in planning their next moves. The Force guided Master Dar'nala to an ancient crystal cave, where they found the Sith Lords gathered. A battle ensued, with both sides apparently evenly matched, until Lord Baras revealed that it had been Dar'nala who was causing the trouble that led to the confrontation. She expained that she could not sit by and allow the galaxy to be controlled by the Sith, and decided to take matters into her own hands. When Satele refused to accept her explanations and join her in killing the Sith, Dar'nala tried to force her by threatening the life of Lieutenant Tavus. A Sith Lord stopped her killing lightsaber blow, and Dar'nala demanded that Dalborra kill the man. The Wookiee refused, and instead attacked and killed Master Dar'nala, before fleeing into the caves.

Darovit
This was the given name of the youth known as Tomcat, who grew up on the planet Somov Rit during the years leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. On Ruusan, Tomcat and his cousins, Rain and Bug, witnessed the harsh reality of war. Tomcat was especially hard-hit, since he had believed that the Jedi Knights were the glorious heroes that everyone made them out to be. However, the Jedi died like any other beings, and Tomcat came to feel cheated and betrayed by them. When Tomcat embraced the Dark Side of the Force and killed Lord Charny, he abandoned the nickname Tomcat and once again took up his given name.
He knew that he had to be someone special to have survived the explosion of the thought bomb, but he had little else to bolster his spirits as he wandered the surface of the planet in the wake of the battle. However, the loss of life on both sides as a result of the thought bomb left Darovit without any loyalty to the Sith, so he moved across the planet's surface as a free being who simply wanted to cut off the memories of his past. Eventually, he stumbled upon the cave in which Lord Kaan and his minions had detonated the thought bomb, and he searched until he found the shell of the weapon hidden underground. A light touch on the surface of the bomb's shell revealed to him that the bomb now contained the tormented spirits of every Jedi and Sith who had been within its blast radius.
This knowledge, coupled with the screams of those spirits that could be heard when Darovit touched the bomb, left him with precious little of whatever sanity remained in his mind. Darovit sat huddled in the cave for several hours, before he finally roused himself to get up and leave. He picked up a fallen lightsaber as he walked, using it for light. While trying to find his way out, he encountered Darth Bane, who had brought Rain with him to witness the thought bomb. Darovit was more than surprised to see his cousin alive, and confronted Darth Bane in an attempt to free her. Rain, who had returned to calling herself Zannah, turn on her brother before he was killed. She used her connection to the Dark Side of the Force to destroy the hand that he was carrying the lightsaber with, disintegrating it with a wave of Dark Side energy. She and Bane then left Darovit in the cave to deal with the emotional and physical wounds from the confrontation.
In his pain and gried, Darovit simply fell to the floor of the cave and whimpered, unable to comprehend what had happened. A pair of native bouncers found him there, and managed to bring him out of his catatonia with their compassion and concern. He treated his wound, and the bouncers helped him make his way back to the surface. During this journey, Darovit's mind tried to come to terms with his cousin's actions. Ultimately, he decided that Rain had cut off his hand in an effort to save his life, since Darh Bane would surely have killed him. His bouncer companions then helped him understand that his life could still have some meaning, and Darovit set out to help the locals rebuild their lives. He became known as the Healing Hermit, using his connection to the Force to help the indigenous population survive in the midst of environmental and ecological changes that altered Ruusan's landscape and seasons.
He became a favored companion of the native bouncers, who took a strange interest in his work. In the years that followed, he came to realize that he had survived the thought bomb because his connection to the Force was not bery strong. Any powers he might have manifested had simply been channeled through him by his cousin, Rain. When the Jedi Order began work to erect a monument to the Jedi who had fallen during the Battle of Ruusan, Darovit became angry with their arrogance, and set about sabotaging the work. His efforts were eventually discovered by the project leader, Johun Othone, who recognized Darovit's connection to the Force. When Othone tried to explain that construction of the monument would proceed now that the Sith had been defeate, Darovit laughed in his face, explaining that he had seen Darth Bane survive the thought bomb. Othone then convinced him to travel to Coruscant to relate his story to the Jedi Council, and Darovit was allowed to spend some time in the Jedi Archives, where he hoped to learn more about natural healing techniques. This brought him into contact with his cousin, Rain, whom he had believed was dead. She explained that she was no longer using the name Rain, and had returned to her given name Zannah after becoming Darth Bane's apprentice.
When Darovit threatened to expose her to the Jedi, Zannah was forced to take Darovit with her when she returned to Tython, where Darth Bane was poring through the collected knowledge of Belia Darzu. The Jedi managed to track them to Tython, where Darth Bane and Zannah were forced to cut the Jedi down. Among the dead was Johun Othone, but Darovit found little time to mourn his loss. Zannah demanded that he try to heal the injuries Darth Bane sustained in the fighting, including the death of the hundreds of orbalisks that had covered his body. Darovit found that the work was beyond his skills, so Zannah took them back to Ambria, hoping that Caleb would help. Caleb refused, and Darovit struggled to find a way to help his cousin throw off Darth Bane's influence. He managed to convince Caleb to save Bane, but only if Zannah agreed to strand herself and Bane on the planet, then alert the Jedi Order to their location. After much thought, Zannah agreed to the deal, but her message back to Coruscant only contained the barest of details.
Darovit believed that his cousin had finally thrown off her desire to become a Sith, but was unprepared when she cut Caleb to pieces with her lightsaber. She then used her skills in the more arcane Sith arts to flood Darovit's mind with all manner of terrifying and horrific images. He became increasingly insane, and was left behind in Caleb's hut when Zannah hid with Bane in the cellar. When the Jedi arrived to arrest Bane, they found Darovit huddled in a corner, clutching the lightsaber of Jedi Master Valenthyne Farfalla in his hands. The lightsaber had been taken from Farfalla's dead body on Tython, and was given to Darovit by Zannah so that the Jedi would mistake him for the Sith Lord who was hiding on Ambria. When Darovit tried to attack the Jedi, they cut him apart with their lightsabers, believing him to be Darth Bane. In this way, the Jedi were completely unaware that Darth Bane and Zannah had survived to carry on the Sith legacy.

Darpen, Tomer
This man, a native of the planet Commenor, served the New Republic as a councilor and liaison to new worlds. Prior to being a diplomat, Darpen served with the Tierfon Yellow Aces, but his skills as a pilot were minimal. He was always running sabacc games and selling liquor, but never seemed to do anything truly illegal. He was given the nickname "Ejector" by his squadron-mates, including Wes Janson, during a mission on a low-gravity moon. Darpen's Y-Wing was shot up and had lost most of its flight controls, but he managed to land it on the ground. When the fighter came to a stop after rolling several times, the ejector seat on the Y-Wing finally activated, sending Darpen into space. The moon's low gravity couldn't hold him, and he achieved escape velocity and had to be rescued by a shuttle. He was given the honorary rank of Ace for surviving the crash. Starfighter Command gave him the opportunity to look elsewhere for a role, and he was tapped by the Diplomatic Corps. Upon the discovery of the world of Adumar, Darpen was selected to be the liaison between the Adumari government and the New Republic diplomat to Adumar, which turned out to be Wedge Antilles. However, Darpen was operating on his own agenda, rather than that of the New Republic, when he started dealing with the Adumari. Darpen wanted to ensure that the planet and its people joined the New Republic at any cost, rather than assessing the pros and cons of their admission. When the Adumari opened up negotiations to both the Republic and the Empire, Darpen was forced even further from New Republic policies in order to gain the trust of the Adumari. When Wedge refused to play by the Adumari rules and shoot down every pilot who challenged him, Darpen became furious. When Wedge's tactics of using low-powered lasers in starfighter combat - allowing the Adumari to learn from their mistakes, and starting to modify the Adumari mindset - Darpen became irate. Darpen began working with the perator of Cartann, Pekaelic ke Teldan, to establish a world government, but pushed the perator down a path which had Cartann as the center of the government. He urged the perator to take control of the planet, with out without the consent of the other nations. Wedge opposed this new form of government, adn refused to abide by Darpen's rules. Darpen then told the perator of Cartann that Wedge was acting on his own, and was no longer worthy of consideration. The perator ordered Wedge's execution, which forced Wedge and the other pilots with him to flee to the Yedagon Confederacy in order to prepare for the war Darpen had instigated. In the end, Hallis Saper revealed that she had evidence of Darpen's schemes, which forced the perator of Cartann to re-evaluate his position. Unable to face the dishonor he had perpetrated at Darpen's insistent, the perator abdicated in favor of his son, who promised to implement a fairer model of world government. Darpen was arrested by New Republic Intelligence agents and imprisoned for his treachery.

Darron believed that the loss of life was as vile as Rensen did, and arranged for the inhabitants to evacuate the village before the bombardment occurred. Darron managed to survive Krennel's wrath by explaining to Krennel that the dishomed villagers would do more to spread the word of Krennel's supremacy than dead villagers would. In a twist of fate, Krennel dispatched Darron and the Direption to protect Liinade III from attack by the New Republic, when the clone of Ysanne Isard warned him of the attack. Krennel's forces, under Darron's command, nearly defeated the New Republic's fleet until the Freedom arrived to save the Republic fleet. Darron was forced to surrender or lose his ships.

Darte', Roblio
This hulking man, distinguished by the dreadlocks in his dirty-blond hair, was one of the handful of Jedi Masters who survived the Jedi Purge, in the wake of the Clone Wars. About a month after the establishment of the Galactic Empire, Darte' answered Master Shadday's call to meet on Kessel, where just eight Jedi gathered to discuss how best to fight back against the oppression of Darth Sidious and his new apprentice, Darth Vader. During the heated discussion, Darte' explained that he would do whatever it took to restore the Republic, but was sternly rebuked by Master Tsui Choi, who explained that there was no Republic left to restore. Unknown to Darte' and the other Jedi, Master Shadday had leaked information that Obi-Wan Kenobi was to be among the Jedi meeting on Kessel, in an effort to draw Darth Vader to the meeting. Shadday believed that Vader would be no match for the combined strength of the Jedi, but she failed to grasp the Sith Lord's full potential. Vader quickly killed many of the Jedi, leaving Darte', Jastus Farr, and Tsui Choi to fight the rest of the battle. Vader's command of the Dark Side of the Force was too strong for them, especially when combined with the forepower of the 501st Legion of clone troopers. While Vader calmly dispatched Tsui Choi, Master Darte' was shot and killed by a barrage of blaster bolts.

Darth
This was a title that was used by many of the most ancient Dark Lords of the Sith to describe themselves. The exact origin of the term Darth were lost to history, but it was generally believed that the former Jedi Knights Revan and Malak were the first to adopt the title of Darth. Because of their connection to the Star Forge that had been constructed by the Rakata, many Jedi historians believed that the term was a modified form of the Rakatan term Daritha, which meant "emperor." Other believed that the term stemmed from the Rakatan words darr, meaning "conquest" or "triumph", and tah, meaning " death". When these two terms were put together, the resulting word darr tah meant "triumph over death" or "immortal". Darr tah could also mean "triumph through death", indicating that the only way to achieve the title Darth was to destroy one's enemies. Still others held the simplistic opinion that Darth was little more than a severe contraction of the title Dark Lord of the Sith.
Regardless of its origins, the title of Darth was more than just a symbol of one's power. It was a claim of supremacy, indicating that an individual believed that they had become so powerful that other Sith had to accept their will or be destroyed. The title was later dropped in favor of the designation of Dark Lord, when the Brotherhood of Darkness was formed. Lord Kaan considered the title of Darth to be an ancient relic, representing what the Sith once were. Kaan, in his arrogance, believed that the more modern Sith were something different, having established the Rule of the Strong. Kan believed that the ancient Sith caused their own downfall by becoming too powerful, and inviting others to challenge their right to rule.
Under his Rule of the Strong, Kaan wanted to have all Sith Lords be considered equal, in an effort to amass a huge brotherhood that could stand against the strength of the Jedi Order. In addition, Kaan believed that the use of Darth as a title drew unwanted attention from the Jedi, making a Sith an easy target for them to find. The title was dropped for many years, until Darth Bane emerged from the Battle of Ruusan and instituted the Rule of Two. Under Bane's new rules, only two Sith could exist in the galaxy at one time. Both were known by the title of Darth, although one was always the Master and the other an apprentice. It was the apprentice's job to learn everything he or she could from their Master, while it was the Master's job to retain as many secrets as possible. This tradition continued for centuries, culminating in the ascension to power of Darth Sidious and his apprentice, Darth Vader. It was believed that Darth Vader was the last of Dark Lords of the Sith, until Jacen Solo adopted the title of Darth Caedus, some forty years after the Battle of Yavin.

Darth Andeddu's Holocron
This ancient Sith holocron was originally created by Darth Andeddu on the planet Korriban. The holocron was a pyramidal device that was contained in a layer of golden metal that was inscribed with the sigils and glyphs that gave the holocron its power. The capstone of this holocron was formed from a blood-red crystal, and was contained within the metal cover. It was buried with Darth Andeddu, and remained hidden for millennia before it was unearthed by Quinlan Vos, during the Clone Wars. Count Dooku opened the holocron and took out the capstone, bestowing it upon Vos for use in his lightsaber. The holocron was lost in the chaos that followed the Clone Wars, and was not seen again for many decades, until it was recovered by Darth Krayt and hidden within the Sith Temple on Coruscant. Darth Wyyrlok spent years plumbing its depths, until he realized that Darth Krayt's condition deteriorated after a battle with Cade Skywalker.

Darth Maniac
This was the sarcastic and somewhat fearful nickname used by the medical crew of the Anakin Solo to describe Jacen Solo, after he became the Sith Lord known as Darth Caedus. The nickname stemmed from the fact that Darth Caedus often brutally tortured his captives, using his lightsaber to cut off their limbs when they refused to cooperate. The medical crew was then forced to deal with the various injuries and ensure that the captives were kept alive for further interrogation.

Darth Starkiller
This as a somewhat sarcastic nickname used by Ben Skywalker to describe that being his father, Luke, might become, if he followed the same path Jacen Solo took toward the Dark Side of the Force. After Luke was exiled from the Jedi Order some three years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, he and Ben traveled to Dorin, where they hoped to learn more about some of the Force techniques Jacen had acquired years earlier. Tila Mong and the Baran Do Sages wondered if their teachings had affected Jacen's mind and turned him into Darth Caedus, and Ben feared that something similar might happen to his father, turning him from Luke Skywalker to Darth Starkiller.

After Jerec was dispatched on a mission to the Unknown Regions, Darys found herself caught up in the midst of Emperor Palpatine's Jedi Purge. Rather than be killed, she agreed to join the ranks of the Emperor's Dark Jedi, and was trained as one of the Inquisitorius. Years later, it was Darys who captured Roganda and Lagan Ismaren on Belsavis during the Jedi Purge. Darys then executed Lagan while forcing Roganda to watch her brother's death. Darys herself was later killed, during an attempt to capture Arden Lyn, who had emerged from her millennia-deep trance.

Darzu, Belia
This Shi'ido female was one of the most fearsome Sith Lords who kept their cult alive during the years before the Battle of Ruusan. She wore a suit of heavy armor which she had imbued with Dark Side energies, giving her a form of invisibility as well as augmenting her personal strength. It was believed that she rose to power about 250 years before the Battle of Ruusan, when she formed the Metanecrons and perfected the art of mechu-deru. Using this expertise, Darzu was able to produce a technovirus that could be injected into a living creature, and which would swiftly mutate its host and create a so-called technobeasts. Using this technique, which became known as mechu-deru vitae, Darzu used the dark arts of the Sith to create an army that was made up from the dead bodies of her enemies.
To consolidate her power and continue her experiments, Belia Darzu constructed a durasteel fortress on the planet Tython, once believed to have been the birthplace of the Jedi Knights. Deep within the fortress was a chamber where Darzu stored her hand-made holocron, which she filled with her knowledge and lore. To defend the fortress, automated ion cannons were installed in each of its two towers. Within its walls, she created an army of technobeasts in every shape and size, as much to scare off any visitors as to destroy any Jedi who might try to capture her.
Despite her skills and her legions of undead technobeasts, Belia Darzu was ultimately assassinated on Tython by agents of the Mecrosa Order, after she began attacking planets in the Tapani Sector of the galaxy. Her fortress on Tython was abandoned, but rumors of its location and the treasures it contained permeated Sith lore for many centuries after her death. Darth Bane eventually learned of the fortress from the collection of the Dark Side follower Hetton, who claimed that he had knowledge of Darzu's ability to create a working Sith Holocron. He managed to locate the holocron beneath the fortress, but had to fight his way through the surviving technobeasts. The mutated creatures had slowly lost their organic features over the centuries, and only their mechanical frames remained. Darth Bane cut down every last one of the technobeasts to reach the holocron.

Dashade
This race of reptilian humanoids had smooth, dark skin and hairless heads. Their lipless mouths with filled with large, sharp teeth, and they had beady eyes. The Dashade were native to the planet Urkupp, and were believed to have died out some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin when the Cron System was destroyed in the Great Sith War. An ancient Falleen, who had 38 Dashade enforcers in his employment, cryogenically froze them for later use. One of the Dashade was revived each century or so, and put to use. The last known Dashade from this group was the shadow killer Ket Maliss, although investigation by the New Republic revealed other colonies of Dashade were raided for warriors to accompany the killers used by Emperor Palpatine during the Jedi Purge. Because of the original, harsh environment of Urkupp, the Dashade evolved into a people who ruled by strength, with only the most capable warriors leading their people. This social characteristic only enhanced the power of the Dashade, which were naturally resilient and able to absorb large amounts of damage. The ancient Sith also discovered that certain Dashade individuals were immune to the Force, and employed them as bodyguards during the Great Sith War.

Dashta, Kilaphor
This man was the first explorer to fully map out the regions of the Dashta Mountains and the neighboring Zantay Hills, some 400 years prior to the Clone Wars. Thus, the mountain range was eventually named for him, as were the nearly-sentient dashta eels that lived in the grottoes beneath the mountains.
(TCD)
Dashta Eel
Native to the planet Ord Cestus, these unusual, blind eels were generally classified as non-sentient, despite the fact that they had an incredible affinity to the Force. This combination of non-sentience and Force sensitivity made the dashta unique in the galaxy, as the level of Force sensitivity rivalled that of many humanoid races. Millennia before the Clone Wars, during the early history of Ord Cestus, the dashta eels fled the surface to live in the grottoes beneath the mountains, finding the gruesome struggle to survive a distasteful series of events. They remained hidden for millennia, until they were discovered by the settlers who began making their homes in the caves of the Zantay Hills. The Cestians believed that the dashta eels were given the gift of Force sensitivity by the Guides, those few eels which were fertilized and grew to maturity. The unfertilized eggs grew, but never reached maturity. The dashta eels were believed to have been named for their only known habitat, which consisted of underground pools and lakes found beneath the Dashta Mountains. In reality, they were named for their discoverer, Kilaphor Dashta. Because the eels were hard to raise anywhere else, the supply that was available for use in producing JK-series security droids was exceptionally small, being formed only from the numbers of unfertilized dashta eel eggs. The Guides gladly gave the unfertilized eggs to the Cestians, as a gift that would help the Cestians gain wider acceptance in the galactic community. This made the JK-series almost prohibitively expensive. When Count Dooku offered Cestus Cybernetics a supply of Gabonna memory crystals in addition to speciallized cloning facilities to produce neural tissue that matched the native Cestian dashta eel, Cestus Cybernetics readily agreed to supply JK-series droids to the Separatists. Unfortunately, the deal was all a sham, as cloning the dashta proved virtually impossible. Instead, the deal was maintained in an effort to draw the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights to Ord Cestus. Unknown to the Separatists, however, was the fact that the immature dashta eels used in the JK-series droid would go insane when placed on the battlefield, rendering the JK-series droids useless. The Guides, upon learning of the plans to use the JK-series droids in combat, lost a measure of trust in their Cestian companions. In the wake of the destruction of the Five Families, the Guides fled into the deeper caverns with the dashta eels, and were not seen again.
(TCD)
Dashta Mountains
This range of mountains was located on the planet Ord Cestus. They were the only known habitat of the Force-sensitive dashta eel. The mountains were first mapped by the noted Cestian explorer Kilaphor Dashta, who mapped the mountains and the caves of the Zantay Hills some 400 years before the Clone Wars. The Dashta Mountains served as a holy place for the X'Ting for several millenia, before the first comings of humanity and the Old Republic. For most of the planet's human-inhabited history, the mountains served as a haven for smugglers and other criminals, who existed in the caves and niches without even being aware of the existence of the eels.

The mask can be worn as a unit, or each piece can be worn separately. The upper half was implanted with speciallized lenses for viewing in low-light conditions, while the lower half used built-in sensors to augment the wearer's ability to locate and track scents. Those Nikto provided with das'skar masks were dispatched by their Hutt masters to kill large game or prey for both sport and food.

Dassyne, Oro
This Koorivar served as an Acquisitions Specialist and Special Markets Director for the Corporate Alliance during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. He was known for his drive and skills as a leader, and his ability to take over rival corporations earned him the notice of Passel Argente. Argente later inserted Dassyne into the Corporate Alliance's military branch as a General when the Clone Wars broke out, recognizing good leadership skills and a desire to destroy the opposition.
Dassyne was first appointed to served as a general within the Koorivar Fusiliers, where he suffered a massive trauma to the horn that grew from the top of his head. Rather than allow this to impede his progress, Dassyne had a specially-designed miter created, which covered his head and hid the fact that he lacked a horn. The miter was also large enough that it stood talled that Dassyne's horn had ever reached, giving him an impressive appearance.
His original posting was on Murkhana, but he complained that there was no action at the remote Corporate Alliance stronghold. He was then assigned to protect Bomis Korri IV, from which he could defend a group of neighboring Mid Rim factory worlds. On Bomis Korri IV, he established what he believed to be an impenetrable fortress, then sat back and waited for the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic to flail against it. He had planned to wait the fighting out, then utterly destroy the Republic's forces. However, he was unprepared for the actions of Anakin Skywalker and his Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Anakin discovered an underground accessway to Dassyne's main power generator, which the Jedi used to infiltrate the compound and set off a series of massive explosions. With the shields around the fortress down, the Jedi led a small contingent of clone troopers into the breach, with supporting fire from warships stationed in orbit. Dassyne's forces were caught unprepared, and were quickly vanquished. Dassyne himseld died in the assault.

This silver-haired woman rose to power as a member of the Imperial Interim Ruling Council, taking her father's place when he became ill. She had a plan to make peace with the New Republic, in order to help the Council gain some legitimacy, but met with stern opposition from Nolyds. When Nolyds was assassinated by a bomb hidden in a message disk, the other Council members decided that it must have been an inside job. They placed D'Asta on their list of suspects, but had no direct proof of her involvement. She later asked for a vote of no-confidence in Xandel Carivus' ability to lead the Council, but was only supported by Lord Manos. It was later revealed that the real Feena D'Asta had been kidnapped by Grappa the Hutt and cloned by Macus Kayniph.The clone was then inserted into the Council, in an effort to further the interests of Grappa and Black Sun. Kayniph sold her to Grappa the Hutt. Meanwhile, the clone was accused of treason against the Empire by Xandel Carivus and arrested. Back at Grappa's lair on Genon, Mirith Sinn tried to rescue the real Feena, whose father had been in business deals with Sinn's fiance. Sinn was caught, and Grappa gave her to the Zanibar. Meanwhile, the arrest of D'Asta's clone forced her father to strike out against Xandel Carivus. He mustered the might of his own Imperial fleet and decimated Carivus' forces in a short battle. On Xo, Kir Kanos rescued Mirith Sinn, and she returned to Grappa to take custody of the real Feena D'Asta. Mirith brought Kir Kanos and the real Feena back to Ord Cantrell, where she presented her to Baron D'Asta. He was unsure of who to believe until Kanos and Sinn explained the plan, beginning with Carnor Jax's initial schemes.

This man served as one of the most powerful and wealthy members of the Imperial Interim Ruling Council. During the reign of Emperor Palpatine, Baron D'Asta had done business with Jahren Sinn on Nez Peron. His place on the Council was filled by his daughter, Feena, when he became ill at an advanced age. However, he still held a position of power among the Imperials, controlling the area of space known as the D'Astam Sector. Some five years later, he was enraged to learn that Xandel Carivus had Feena imprisoned on nebulous charges of treason, and sent his fleet of warships against those controlled by Carivus. D'Asta's fleet was too powerful, and reduced Carivus' forces quickly. When Carivus released Feena, the Baron was loath to give up the battle, but did so to recover his daughter. He later seceded from the Imperial Remnant in order to govern his sector by himself.

Datasphere
This was the term used to describe the massive, galaxy-spanning network of computers, servers, and information systems that provided data and information to the HoloNet. Because computer networks were growing and changing all the time, the exact size of the datasphere could not be accurately estimated. For most beings, the datasphere was simply a limitless source of data and information.

(GORW)
Dathomir
This planet, the fourth and primary world in the Dathomir System, was a sort of penal colony set aside by the Old Republic as a place to send outcasts to live out their lives in isolation. Dathomir was also known as the home of the rancor. During the decades leading up to the Battle of Ruusan, Dathomir was the site of an elite Sith training academy, where those individuals who had strong connections to the Force were trained to become Sith Lords. Some 600 years before the Clone Wars, the Jedi Council also exiled fallen Knights to Dathomir, requiring that the outcasts be placed on the planet without any way of ever leaving. All evidence of Dathomir was erased from astrogation records by the Jedi Order, to prevent any being from stumbling upon the planet.
Over time, a group of Force-sensitive witches who used spells to control the Force evolved to take control of the planet. Dathomir was located in the Quellii Sector. It was here that Imperial Warlord Zsinj had established a prison colony and a new shipyard. The planet's gravity was somewhat lighter than standard. It was full of the Dark Side of The Force, moreso than Dagobah. After the Battle of Naboo, Jedi Master Quinlan Vos discovered the existence of an Infinity Gate on the planet. The danger it posed forced the Jedi Order to eliminate any record of Dathomir from the Republic's star charts, in order to prevent unauthorized access to the device.
Several years after the Battle of Endor, Han Solo 'won' the planet from Omogg in a sabacc game. Its value at the time was estimated to have been somewhere around three billion credits. It had 3 continents set in a vast ocean, and it was orbited by four moons. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Dathomir fell to the alien invaders shortly before the Battle of Ithor.
(CPL, DJ, GORW, DBPD, EGF)

Dathomiran Rancor
This was the name used to describe the subspecies of rancor that was native to the planet Dathomir. These rancors were much larger than the common rancor, and showed a greater disposition to being domesticated. Several xenobiologists believed that the Dathomiran rancor was not a true subspecies but, like the pygmy rancor, was engineered in a laboratory before being released into the forests of Dathomir.
(NEGA)
Dathomir's Vitality
This was the term used by the Dark Veil Order to describe the very center of the Heart of Dathomir nebula. The Dark Veil Order believed that Dathomir's Vitality contained a powerful rage that would eventually consume the system and, if not appeased, the entire galaxy. In order to prevent these disasters, the sisters of the Dark Veil Order regularly ambushed starships moving through the Dathomir System, using any beings they captured as sacrifices to Dathomir's Vitality.

Before being assigned to Carida, Dauren served under Grand Admiral Thrawn as well as the reborn Emperor Palpatine. Dauren became the Communications Officer for the planetary defense system on Carida, just before Kyp Durron used the Sun Crusher to destroy the system. When Kyp launched a resonance torpedo into Carida's sun, Dauren was on duty, and was ordered to locate Zeth Durron. Realizing that Zeth was his only escape option, Dauren followed him to his rendezvous with Kyp. When the Sun Crusher was close enough, Dauren hit Zeth in the back of the head, hoping to leave the man behind. Zeth, however, wheeled and fired his weapon, striking Dauren in the chest and killing him instantly.
(COTF, JASB)
Dauscha, Tonner
This independent spacer and freetrader made a regular run to Coruscant, before the planet was closed off to immigrants during the year leading up to the Clone Wars. The added paperwork required to simply enter the Core Worlds, let alone arrive on Coruscant, meant that freetraders like Dauscha lost a great many deals because they couldn’t deliver on time.
(HNN5)
Daushoroc
This Eirrauc and his partner, Tamoss, was a trader who dealt in gems, artifacts, and curiosities.

His nerf meat was prized among connisseurs across the galaxy. Jaffro was killed shortly after the Madman's Fortune crashed onto Engebo V, when a school of skekfish were inadvertently released by his daughter, Nell. Nell and her companions had gone to check out the crash, and opened Goontirk's escape pod to investigate. The skekfish burrowed into the ground and sped toward the nearest food source, killing many beings in The Landing before making their way to the Davengatt mansion. Jaffro tried to escape with his daughter, leaving her companions to fend for themselves, but was beset by a swarm of skekfish and devoured.
(WOA10)
Davengatt, Nell
This woman was the daughter of Jaffro Davengatt, and grew up on the planet Engebo V. She served as her father's chief aide in the operation of Davengatt's Double-Zed Nerf Ranch, handling the day-to-day operations as her father became more and more reclusive. While she hated the work and hated being stuck on Engebo V, Nell found that she couldn't bring herself to leave, either. Shortly after the Madman's Fortune crashed onto Engebo V, Nell and her companions went to check out the crash, and opened Goontirk's escape pod to investigate. A school of skekfish escped from the pod and burrowed into the ground. Before they could be contained, the skekfish sped toward the nearest food source, killing many beings in The Landing. Nell was one of the few beings to escape the planet, taking off with Gall and the freelance pilots who were on Engebo V to obtain nerf steaks for Lady Wylla of Alderaan. Nell asked to join the pilots, and personally made reparations with Lady Wylla. She then worked with Wylla to send a mission to Engebo V to blast the planet from orbit, in order to fully eliminate the skekfish threat.

David, Trey
This man was Horzao Darr's second-in-command in the Exocron Combined Air-space Fleet. It was David who intercepted Talon Karrde when he arrived in the system to locate Jorj Car'das. When he and Car'das learned of Karrde's approach, they knew that they could use it as a way to draw the slaver - and their enemy - Rei'kas toward the Kathol Rift. They allowed Karrde to locate Exocron, thereby allowing Rei'kas to find the planet. When Rei'kas attacked, David made sure that none of his ships fired on them. He retreated toward Exocron, much to the disbelief of Karrde and his crew. When the Aing-Tii finally made their presence known, it was a quick firefight. In the end, the fleet Rei'kas had sent in was decimated, and Exocron was once again safely hidden.

A former Journeyman Proctor, Davin was eventually hired by the Kaminoan cloners to assist with the training of the clone troopers that were to become the Grand Army of the Republic. Davin's skills placed him in charge of training ARC Troopers and clone commanders, and he noted Commander Bacara among his most successful students. Because he was one of the few non-Mandalorians who were hired to train clones, Davin's students were often viewed as strangers, as they adopted many of his non-Mandalorian verbage and mannerisms.
(SWI84)
Davip, Eldo
This man was a Commander in the New Republic Navy, and was in command of the Super-class Star Destroyer Lusankya during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Commander Davip, despite his ranking, was known for his indecision in battle, and many believed that he could not have reached the rank of Commander without a lot of help. He was suddenly forced into battle near Borleias when the ships under his command tried to reach the remnants of the New Republic gathered there. Davip and the Lusankya fell into a Yuuzhan Vong trap, and only the sheer number of weapons they could bring to bear on the aliens allowed the Lusankya to win the battle. Months later, Davip was at the helm of the Lusankya for the initial stages of Operation Emperor's Hammer, but found himself unable to lead the mission. His commanding officer, Wedge Antilles, refused to allow Davip to step down, and used subtle psychology to bolster Davip's confidence. After successfully repelling the Yuuzhan Vong, Commander Davip was ostensibly in command of the small fleet protecting the Starlancer Project's pipefighters. It was during this time that he and Antilles began refitting the Lusankya, taking away weapons emplacements which were "damaged" in battle and placing them on smaller ships. Although many of his subordinates questioned his ability to continue as Captain while the ship disintegrated around him, Davip knew that it was simply because his mission was a secret. Davip was actually overseeing the refitting of the Lusankya, primarily ensuring that the section known as the Beltway was strong enough to withstand an impact with a Yuuzhan Vong worldship. After the battle, Davip was promoted to Major General for his bravery at Borleias, and was nominated to join the chiefs of staff of the Galactic Alliance.

Davtokk
This man was one of the many bounty hunters who answered Cad Bane's call for employment, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Unknown to Davtokk, however, was the fact that Cad Bane wasn't so much interviewing candidates as he was testing them. Also, Davtokk failed to realize that he was not a candidate for the job, but the target chosen for the other candidates. Thus, when Davtokk arrived at the prescribed meeting time, he was attacked by several other bounty hunters, each trying to eliminate him. He managed to avoid all but Aurra Sing, who destroyed both his legs with a group of well-placed blaster bolts. Cad Bane then appeared and explained the situation to Davtokk, revealing that he had already assembled his team, but wanted to test their ability to work together. Cad Bane then shot Davtokk dead before taking the other bounty hunters and setting out on their true mission.

When one of the planet's four moons eclispes the sun Zelos, the darkened skies suddenly reveal the presence of the other three moons. They appear as if by magic as the planet was plunged into total darkness. The Zelosian fear of the dark was extremely heightened during this eclipse, and so this day was especially frightening to them.

Dayark
This moon, which orbits the gas giant Nepe, in the Episol System of the Kathol Outback, was the most populous world in the Kathol Republic. An agricultural world, Dayark also served as the capital of the Republic and the seat of its government. It was tide-locked to Nepe's orbit, and so the sunward side of the moon was the only habitable area.

Daykim, Onibald
Daykim was one of the feral humans who were living underneath Imperial City, during the early years of the New Republic. He considered himself to be the king of his group, and he ruled over his people with a firm but gentle hand. Before fleeing belowground, Daykim was a low-level servant of the Imperial Palace branch of the Corusca Bank, during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. A small accounting error committed by his staff resulted in the name of Emperor Palpatine going to the top of a public list of loan defaulters. Although the incorrect list existed in the public domain for only a few hours, Palpatine nonetheless found out about it, and fired the entire board of directors before demanding the identity of the culprit. Daykim fled to the undercity, rather than face Palpatine's wrath, and lived there ever since. He maintained a strong and hale body, but he had lost all of his teeth and his hair had begun to fall out after years of living underground. He was surprised to find the toddlers Jaina and Jacen Solo in his domain, some seven years after the Battle of Endor, and he quickly worked to make the two-and-a-half-year-old children at ease. He then asked them enough questions to be able to return them to their parents, using a series of underground passageways to reach the Solo apartments without drawing unwanted attention. A grateful Leia Organa Solo offered to work with the New Republic to repatriate Daykim's people, and even offered him a new job within the Republic's government. Daykim politely refused, claiming, "[sic] aboveground I was a simple file clerk, but belowground I a king!"
(DA, JASB)
Daykim's Kingdom
This was the fanciful name given to Onibald Daykim's underground community on Coruscant, during the final years of the New Order and the early years of the New Republic. Located below Imperial City, the kingdom was little more than a series of abandoned buildings. However, it was populated with former Imperial bureaucrats and servants who fled the wrath of Emperor Palpatine.

(DARK)
Daysong
This splinter group of the Rights of Sentience Party was formed to combat the subservient use of organic lifeforms in such menial tasks as guards and protectors. Daysong reasoned that the work could be done by droids, rather than forcing another being into the duty. Daysong had even gone so far as to argue the rights of synthflesh. When Leia Organa-Solo disappeared in the Meridian Sector during her visit to meet Seti Ashgad, the Daysong party sliced together a fake holo-transmission of her in an attempt to gain control of the Central Council.
(POT)
Daystar Casino
This casino was located on the planet Ahakista, and was owned and operated by Sardoth during the era of the Galactic Civil War. In the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin, the Daystar Casino was quite profitable, attracting visitors from neighboring systems and sectors. However, the rise of the Empire and the civil unrest that grew on Ahakista slowly drove away the patrons, forcing Sardoth to accept assistance from the likes of the crimelord known as Raze.
(SWRAG)
Daystar Craft
This airspeeder manufacturer produced the DC0040 civilian "Intergalactic Speeder" and its counterpart, the DC0052, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Daystar also produced a wide range of repulsorlift engines and propulsion units.
(SWDB)
DAYSTAR450
This was one of the valid Imperial landing codes used to verify those ships that were inbound to the planet Ahakista, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The crimelord Raze obtained the code from Sardoth, and provided it to Wyl Tarson and his team, when they infiltrated Ahakista on a mission for the crimelord. The code DAYSTAR450 allowed incoming ships to land at the Daystar Casino.
(SWRAG)
Dayta 1
This transport ship was part of a small group that was moving through the Javin Sector near station D-34, during the hours and days that followed the Battle of Hoth.

Daz
This was a common name given to male Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names.
(GCG)
Dazer
This was a form of explosive weapon that was developed by Cilghal, as part of an arsenal of devices that could be used to counteract the abilities of the Killik hives that made up the Colony. When it exploded, a dazer unleashed a brilliant display of lights and other sensory disruptions that deadened a Killik's aura and cut off its ability to commune with the rest of its hive. Many Jedi noticed that, in addition to the iridescent lights, dazers gave off a smell like freshly-cut pallies when they exploded.
(DN3)
Dazh, Izri
This elderly Keshiri male served as the leader of the Neshtovar who lived in the village of Tahv, on his homeworld of Kesh, during the era of the Great Hyperspace War. A frail man with a hairless skull, Izri Dazh had performed the eulogy at the funeral for Zhari Vaal, and he later presided over the trial of Vaal's widow, Adari. The trial involved Dazh and the other Neshtovari arguing that the Skyborn created and protected the Keshiri, while Adari tried to convince them of the facts that were evident in the rocks and stones that made up their plateau. The trial was cut short when one of the Cetajan Mountains seemed to erupt in flame. Dazh and the other Keshiri of Tahv feared that the explosion was caused by the Skyborn, as a way to force Adari Vaal and her followers to repent their heretical ways. Although Adari discovered that the explosion had been caused by the crash-landing of the Sith starship Omen, Dazh and the other Keshiri came to believe that the Sith who survived the crash were actually the Skyborn made incarnate. He welcomed the Sith into Tahv, and even turned his own home over to Yaru Korsin and Seelah, who were deemed to be the leaders of the Skyborn.

DBY-827
This huge, turret-mounted turbolaser was developed during the Clone Wars as the primary weapon of the Venator-class Star Destroyer. Eight of these dual-cannon weapons protected the Venator-class vessel, with two rows of four being mounted at the base of the command tower. Each DBY-827 could be calibrated to one of seven different blast intensities, depending on the mission profile of the vessel. Long-range tracking computers allowed the DBY-827 to be extremely accurate across distances up to ten light-minutes. Each of these weapons required a dedicated crew to operate, given their size and targetting requirements.
(X3)
DC0040
Known as the Intergalactic Speeder, this Daystar Craft urban airspeeder was essentially the civilian version of the DC0052, although it was produced before the DC0052. The name "Intergalactic" was added to the speeder by Daystar's marketing department, which referred to its power and design cues as being like those of a starship.
(SWDB)
DC0052
Known as the Intergalactic Speeder, the DC0052 was a sleek vehicle that was sold almost exclusively to the Jedi Order. It was designed and produced by Daystar Craft, and was based on the successful DC0040 civilian speeder. The main body measured two meters in length and shaped like a flattened hemisphere, resembling a flying wing. A pair of Sono-class propulsion drives were attached at the back, and the central fuselage was adapted to enhance the speeder's maneuverability and speed. Four Daystar Craft repulsors provided lift and additional thrust, and this combination of systems gave the DC0052 a maximum ceiling of 170 kilometers and a top speed of 800 kilometers per hour. Another feature that appealed to the Jedi Order was the so-called "drop-deployment" panel that was built into the fuselage, and allowed a Jedi to set the speeder to land on auto-pilot, while the Jedi swiftly disembarked the vehicle by dropping out through the bottom of the cockpit. Although the DC0052 was referred to as the Intergalactic Speeder, this nickname was used by Daystar to refer exclusively to the civilian DC0040 model.

(SWGAL)
DC-15
This was the standard-issue blaster weapon provided by the Old Republic to the cloned troopers developed on Kamino. The DC-15 could be configured as a simpler blaster, or outfitted with a longer stock and an accelerating barrel to create a blaster rifle. These weapons were first used during the Battle of Geonosis. They fired an intensely-power bolt of coherent, blue light, that could shred vehicles and droids as well as flesh.
(VD2, LAWS)
DC-15A
This was a more powerful version of the DC-15 blaster rifle, which was produced for the original series of ARC Troopers. The DC-15A had a longer barrel, with the trigger set back along the stock.
(VD3)
DC-15s
This was an upgraded version of the standard DC-15 blaster pistol that was considered the standard firearm of the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic. More compact that the DC-15, the DC-15s was issued primarily to the ARC Troopers, who used the weapon because it was small enough and powerful enough to be carried as a backup weapon. It was designed to employ tibanna gas as its source of energy. Note that Republic Commando: True Colors indicates that the DC-15s was not issued to ARC Troopers, but to clone commandos.
(LAWS, VD3, CHRN2, RCTC)
DC-15x
This enhanced version of the DC-15 blaster pistol was developed as a sniper weapon, with additional sights and exceptional accuracy over large distances. The DC-15x was the favored weapon of those clone troopers who specialized in sharpshooting.
(LAWS)
DC-17
The DC-17 blaster pistol was produced by the Old Republic for the clone troopers that fought during the Clone Wars. It was much more accurate - and much more powerful - than most standard-issue blaster pistols, and had a much higher rate of fire. This allowed specialized units of Jet Troopers to unleash a barrage of blaster fire as they moved through the sky.
(LAWS)
DC-17m
This was a highly customizable version of the DC-17 blaster, produced by BlasTech during the last years of the Old Republic. The DC-17m was provided to many of the clone commandos of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. It could be configured to serve as a repeating blaster, a sniper weapon, or even and anti-armor blaster.
(SWI80, LAWS, SWMW)
DC-19 Stealth Carbine
This variant of the DC-15 carbine was developed for the Shadow Troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic. It was equipped with a sound suppressor, and could be adapted to use special Tibanna gas to fire a nearly invisible blaster bolt. This mode, while expensive to use and hard on the weapon itself, allowed Shadow Trooper snipers to work with deadly efficiency and stealth.

DD-13
This medical droid was developed by Ubrikkian Steamworks as a surgeon, specializing in cybernetic replacements, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was known as the Galactic Chopper in many circles, in reference to its rough handling of patients and its usefulness in removing damaged limbs in favor of cybernetic replacements. The DD-13 surgeon droid stood just over 1.8 meters in height, moved about on a set of three spindly legs, and had a minimally humanoid form. What it lacked in bed-side manner, the DD-13 made up for in it ability to quickly and carefully connect a cybernetic prosthesis to a living host. The DD-13 was originally designed to serve on Ubrikkian transport ships, but the ship designs proved to be unworkable. So, the DD-13 manufactured simply for hospital use. Many of these droids were employed by the Separatists for the surgeries that were done on General Grievous, and Darth Sidious maintained one that was used during the surgeries that repaired the injured body of Darth Vader. In fact, when Vader learned that a DD-13 droid was used during the surgery, he went to great lengths to terminate the Empire's contract with Ubrikkian Steamworks. Ubrikkian soon retired the DD-13 line, but used much of its technology in the development of the DD-19 Overseer unit.
(SWI81, VD3, SWDB, NEGD)

Her parents kept her hidden from the Jedi, not wanted to lose their only child. Despite their plans to marry her to Twi'lek royalty, Deel De eventually set out to travel the galaxy. A chance encounter with Keroth Ishedur gave Deel De her first taste of the Dark Side of the Force, which she instantly recognized as her true calling. She later married Larith De, in an effort to cover up her true goals of gathering power and strength. She hid in his shadow, using her powers to further his career while biding her time and gaining more control over her powers.
(UA)
De, Larith
This pale-skinned Twi'lek diplomat and businessbeing was noted for his ability to make money on even the slimmest of margins. Unknown to many beings, much of Larith De's ability to read the markets and make deals with Senators came from the Force-sensitivity of his wife, Deel De. Easily distinguished by his gaudy clothes, which often appear more outrageous against his pale blue skin, Larith De spent more time trying to live the life of leisure than actually trying to earn his way in the galaxy. His relationship with Deel De was something that he cherished deeply, both emotionally and financially, and he came to want nothing more than for his wife to succeed. To this end, Larith De was not above killing another being that got in Deel De's way, and would have gladly brought himself to harm if it would have ensured his wife's safety.
(UA)
De, Repka
This Jedi Master was an instructor in lightsaber combat more than 800 years before the Battle of Endor, when Yoda was still a Jedi Knight.

This wealthy entrepreneur funded and owned the Ananuru Express, a luxury train systems that was located on the planet Ananuru, during the height of the New Order. Some time after the Battle of Yavin, de Ville obtained data on a secret Imperial project, and tried to auction it off to the highest bidder. In order top evaluate his prospective buyers, he staged an attack on the Ananuru Express by armed thugs, hoping to weed out any weak or unwanted buyers. He then allowed the prospective buyers to meander through the train, in an effort to locate the datachip containing the plans. De Ville kept a close watch on the actual chip, and produced it when he called his guests together for the actual auction. de Ville failed to make any profit from the auction, however, when Secesh Trant revealed her true allegiance and simply took possession of the chip. In the fighting that ensued, the datachip was destroyed, leaving both de Ville and Trant with nothing to show for their efforts.

(DN2)
Dead Forest
This dense forest, located on the planet Kashyyyk near the city of Kachirho, was inhabited by a colony of webweavers. The actual name of the forest was Kkowir Forest, but it became known as the Dead for two reasons. First, it was a desolate area that had been once been lush, but was infected with some plant disease that rendered the jungle a sickly gray in color. Much of the jungle died out, and any new growth was quickly consumed by the disease. Secondly, the Dead Forest was home to a number of webweavers and other creatures that usually killed and ate any being who dared to travel through it. A group of Wookiees known as the Dead Guard protected the various entrances to the Dead Forest, in an effort to protect the population of Kachirho.

Deara
This woman was the sister of Queen Breha Organa of Alderaan. Deara served as one of the Queen's chief advisors during the early years of the New Order, when she was approached by Darth Vader during a visit to Coruscant. Vader's threatening appearance cowed Deara into working as a spy, reporting to Vader's agents with information on the royal family. Despite being an Alderaanian and a member of the royal household, Deara was too scared to refuse, and began relaying information about the comings and goings of her family. She reported on Raymus Antilles' mission to carry a message from Bail Organa to Mon Mothma, and also reported on Memily's experience with Leia Organa at the Grasslands Park. These two pieces of information pointed Ferus Olin and Inquisitor Hydra to the possibility of a Force-sensitive child in the royal family, forcing Ferus to act quickly to protect Leia's identity. After Ferus revealed Deara's treachery to Bail Organa and Queen Breha, the Queen was forced to exil eher sister. Bail arranged for Deara to be transported to Ankori-7, where she would be safe from further Imperial entanglement.

This vast canyon, located on a remote planet, was named for the fact that very few beings ever entered the canyon and came out alive. Death Canyon was formed from a dense, complex network of channels and passages that wound around and through an immense collection of mesas, arches, and rocky outcroppings. The only known way to escape from the canyon was the pathway that was known as Thunder Road. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were trapped in Death Canyon by a group of bounty hunters, during the height of the Clone Wars. Anakin managed to restore a VXL Speeder to working order, which helped them avoid some of the bounty hunters and escape from the trap.

(T7)
Death Seed
This plague was virtually unstoppable when it was first discovered. The basis of the Death Seed was the creature called a droch, which can steal the life force energy from its victim once it bites the victim. If allowed to remain attached, the droch can quickly burrow into its victim. Once inside, it was absorbed into its victim, but continues to drain life energy from it. The victim dies from unknown, though obviously viral, causes. Bacta therapy was found to quicken the disease, because the bacta only provided the droch with a renewed source of life energy as the victim healed. The Death Seed was controlled by the huge droch Dzym, which maintained a link to the lower drochs while obtaining life energy from their vicitms. When Dzym and Seti Ashgad began their quest for galactic domination, they unleashed the Death Seed plague on the Meridian Sector. Only through Luke Skywalker's communication with the Spook crystals on Nam Chorios was the plague defeated. The crystals agreed to be shipped off-planet, where they could help focus natural sunlight on the parasitic creatures. The Death Seed managed to wipe outnearly three-quarters of the sector before it was controlled.

Death Star
This satellite-sized battle station was developed by the Geonosians, under the direction of Bevel Lemelisk and Darth Tyranus, from the original plans for the Expeditionary Battle Planetoid that was developed by Raith Sienar. After the Battle of Geonosis, these plans were obtained by Wilhuff Tarkin to the Maw Installation for further refinement. Tarkin feared that the original plans were not viable, and ordered Tol Sivron to work with Bevel Lemelisk to create a prototype. At the same time, another prototype was being developed in orbit around Despayre by Imperial Engineering.
As the Alliance began to gather support, Tarkin went before Emperor Palpatine and presented his revised plans for the Death Star, and went so far as to ask for the superweapon as a tool that could be used to control the entire Outer Rim Territory. When completed, the Death Star housed a huge superlaser that combined the output of multiple lasers into a single, focused beam. The designs for the superlaser came from the Hammertong Project, and the weapon was powered by a generator that had been stolen from the planet Mygeeto by the 501st Legion, during the Clone Wars. A huge focusing lens was built to accomplish this, located on the upper hemisphere. The only drawback to the superlaser's awesome power was the fact that it took a full twenty-four standard hours to recharge the laser generators.
Because the superlaser was designed to be targeted at anything from a capital ship to a planet, the individuals who served as gunners were trained ensure their shots were deadly accurate. This objective was known only to a select few, for Tarkin and the Maw's top scientists decided that they should downplay the role of superweapon to keep the project on schedule. In order to ensure continued cooperation of their employees, project engineers were told that the station would be used to break down dead planets, in an effort to reach the core of elements easier. To complete this ruse, the funding for the original Death Star came from funds diverted form the Departments of System Exploration and Public Works.
The interior of the initial Death Star was planned to have 84 unique levels, each 1,428 meters in height. Each level was subdivided into 357 sublevels. The entire design was then divided into two hemispheres, each with twelve zones. These twenty-four zones were also called sprawls, and each contained its own weapons and maneuverability control center, allowing the station to be controlled from virtually anywhere onboard.
The crew of the first Death Star consisted of 27,048 officers; 774,576 troops, pilots, and crewers; 378,576 support and maintenance crewers; 400,000 support droids; and 25,000 stormtroopers. Note that the Star Wars Trading Card Game - Battle of Yavin expansion set lists the Death Star's stormtrooper compliment at 25,984. The human inhabitants were provided with an array of parks, shopping centers, and entertainment facilities, since the average length of service aboard the station was to be six years without leave.
At the north pole of the station was constructed a 100-story tower, which was heavily shielded and virtually impenetrable. This tower held Emperor Palpatine's operational headquarters, for those times when he was aboard the station.
According to Imperial sources, the first Death Star took too long to construct, exceeding Palpatine's every deadline. Originally started during the Clone Wars, the prototype erected at Despayre was built by laborers taken from the prison below. When the first Death Star was completed, Tarkin ordered the superlaser tested on the planet Despayre itself. Needless to say, this initial test exceeded even Tarkin's wildest dreams. A second test was performed in the Alderaan System, when a captive Leia Organa refused to reveal the current location of the Alliance's main base. Imperial propaganda later explained that the destruction of Alderaan was caused by the Alliance, which tried to hamper the original tests of the battle station's weapons.
However, despite its formidable weaponry, the original design was flawed, as it vented its main reactor directly to the outside. When the plans to the first Death Star were stolen by Alliance forces and delivered to the Massassi Base on Yavin 4, military personnel and technical experts under the command of General Jan Dodonna discovered this flaw. They believed that a proton torpedo could be fired into the exhaust shaft, resulting in a chain reaction that would destroy the station. During the Battle of Yavin, Luke Skywalker used a combination of luck and the Force to fire the fateful torpedo, destroying the Death Star from within.
In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, Imperial propaganda claimed that the Alliance was to blame for the destruction of Alderaan. Propaganda went on to say that the Alliance "lured" the station to the Yavin System and destroyed it through treachery and deceit. The name "Death Star" was then "officially" used to honor the Imperial personnel who were killed in the destruction of the battle station.
The original Death Star measured 120 kilometers in diameter, and had the following design features:
The holds of the Death Star could also accommodate up to 7,000 TIE Fighters, 11,000 combat vehicles, and nearly 9,000 other transport vessels. Note that The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader and the novel DeathStar indicate that the first Death Star measured 160 kilometers in diameter.

Death Star II
This second version of the original Imperial battle station was modified to eliminate the flaws which were discovered by the Alliance military and exploited during the Battle of Yavin. Like its predecessor, the second Death Star was designed around a planet-smashed superlaser. The primary difference between the two battle stations was the elimination of dedicated thermal exhaust ports. In their place, millions of millimeter-wide vents were dispersed across its surface, each with a dedicated baffling mechanism. The second Death Star was slightly larger than the original, at 160 kilometers in diameter. Note that Inside the Worlds of the Star Wars Trilogy indicates that the second Death Star was over 900 kilometers in diameter. The outer hull was made from quadanium steel for protection. For defensive measures, the second Death Star was to house 4 capital ships, 7,200 TIE fighters, 3,600 Lambda-class assault shuttles, 2,480 blast boats, 1,860 drop ships, and 13,000 support craft. These included 1,400 AT-ATs, 1,400 AT-STs, 178 Mobile Command Bases, 1,420 repulsortanks, 1,420 repulsorcraft, 355 Floating Fortresses, and 4,843 Juggernauts. In addition to its primary superlaser, the second Death Star was also planned to have some 30,000 turbolasers. Another key difference between the two battles stations was their purpose. While the first Death Star was designed to instill fear in planetary systems, the second Death Star was designed as the bait in an elaborate trap. Emperor Palpatine, sensing that the end of the Galactic Civil War was at hand, began construction of the new battle station in orbit around the Forest Moon of Endor. Palpatine appointed Moff Jerjerrod as the overseer of the project, knowing that he was an ineffectual leader who would be unable to keep the station's construction on schedule. Then, he purposely allowed news of the battle station's construction to leak out. A group of Bothan spies was given access to the information, and pursuing Imperials forces were ordered to ensure their eventual escape. Palpatine hoped that the Alliance military would not pass up the chance to destroy the new station, in hopes of crushing the Empire. Palpatine even leaked schedule information that showed the exact times he would be visiting the station during its construction, as further incentive to incite an attack. In preparation, the Emperor massed a huge fleet just outside of the system, hidden until the Alliance fleet made its appearance. During the Battle of Endor, Alliance forces discovered that the second Death Star was fully operation, despite its incomplete structure, and was capable of targetting starships as well as planets. However, Palpatine failed to account for the love between Darth Vader and his son, Luke Skywalker. As the space battle raged, Vader managed to overcome his hatred and return to the Light Side of the Force, killing Palpatine in the process. With their leader dead, the Imperial forces were unable to continue the fight, and the second Death Star was eventually destroyed.

(TCG4, ISB, SWI100)
Death Stick
This recreational drug was popular on Coruscant and many other Core Worlds, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Each death stick was essentially a treated form of Ixetal cilona, which could be hardened into a cylinder or liquified and stored in a long vial. Both forms gave rise to the monicker 'death stick,' since they were packaged in colorful tubes for distribution and sale. The liquid form was often consumed by mixing it with softdrinks, and was virtually undetectable in this form. The drug inside the multi-colored cylinders provided the user with a heightened sense of euphoria, but continued use of the drug stole years from a being's life, and induced intense feelings of depression when not consumed. This continued usage led to an intense addiction, and most abusers reported needed a harder and harder dosage in order to simply exist. Depending on the strength of the Ixetal cilona extract used in production, a death stick could turn a user into an addict after just one use. Because of the widespread use of death stricks during the final years of the Old Republic, the Bando Gora cult chose to introduce death sticks laden with neurotoxins into the Coruscant underworld, in an effort cause widespread chaos during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Many years later, production of death sticks came to a standstill when entire crops of balo mushrooms - the source of Ixetal cilona extract - were contaminated with pollutants that had leeched into the caves where the mushrooms were grown. Production was later restarted with new crops of the balo mushrooms, and continued for many decades.

Death-Hunter
This cyborg assasin was the brain-child of the Imperial Moff Jesco Comark. Comark used his position as the head of Renik to syphon funds into the Death-Hunter project, and used Renik agents to kidnap strong, healthy humans between the ages of 15 and 25 for cyborging. Comark realized that the Empire couldn't continue to use bounty hunters to do its dirty work, and developed an army of cyborged killers. He was able to obtain strong human subjects from the working population of Bescane, kidnapping individuals whenever the need arose. Comark also used the shipyards at Jaemus for his project, having them modify Sector Plexus courier droids for use as Death-Hunter transports. The Death-Hunter was an incredible combination of technological and physical abilities. The Death-Hunter's eyesight was augmented with low-light and macrozoom enhancements. Hearing was increased with specialized receptors. Lifeform sensors were implanted to improved tracking ability. Several communications options were available to the cyborg, including a wideband receiver and a tightband antenna. The Death-Hunter project was exposed by Moff Comark's own daughter, Amber Comark, who was operating under the guise of Alliance special agent Tigress. Much of the Death-Hunter project was destroyed when Alliance agents, working with Amber Comark, were able to eliminate Jesco Comark's base on Zeta Zero Nine, in the Wastes.

However, for all his statements of support for the Jedi, Debbikin maintained a widespread spy net throughout the Core Worlds, especially Coruscant. His spies relayed that Chancellor Palpatine would destroy Ord Cestus rather than let it side with the Separatists. When his son, Debbikin the Younger, was kidnapped by Nemonus, Debbikin reluctantly agreed that it was time the Five Families allied themselves with the Old Republic. Debbikin was killed, along with most members of the Five Families, when the ARC trooper Jangotat infiltrated their secret bunker on the Kibo Plateau and ordered the Nexu to fire on his location.

Based on feedback from his father's spies on Coruscant, Debbikin the Younger suggested that the Five Families pledge their loyaly to the Old Republic, in order to ensure their continued grasp on the manufacturing facilities on Ord Cestus. His goal was to have the Five Families become the Republic's most prominent supplier of high-tech droids, bringing them to galactic prominence.

The agreement was a spur-of-the-moment, private deal that allowed certain artifacts to be recovered. One unusual outcome of the agreement occurred after it was discovered that Emperor Palpatine maintained a variety of alien artifacts in the cloning facility on Wayland. The New Republic tried to keep the facility a secret, but alien races demanded that they be allowed to come to Wayland and recover their lost artifacts. In order to support the influx of aliens, the city of New Nystao was greatly expanded beyond housing the agents of the New Republic.

Anakin later discovered, after being captured by Krayn and sent to the Spice Mines of Kessel, that Anf Dec was the Colicoids' primary negotiator, working with Krayn to corner the spice processing market.

Decca
This female Hutt, the daughter of Gardulla, was one of the more powerful crimelords of the planet Mawan, during the years following the Great Purge. Decca once had a thriving spice smuggling business based on C-Foroon, until she was chased off by a rival. She ended up on Mawan, and saw an opportunity to gain power in the wake of the civil war. She was able to take control of the various power and transportation systems of the city of Naatan, much to the consternation of Striker and the other crimelords. It was Striker to attacked Decca's operations shortly after they were established, taking back control of the power grids. This left Decca angry, and she held a grudge against Striker ever since. However, when it was revealed that Striker was actually Granta Omega, Decca decided to hedge her bets, and formed an alliance with him. She added her fleet of ships to Omega's weapons, producing a strong opposition to the work of the Jedi Knights. However, the Jedi managed to replace the fuel she had been storing with wastewater, thanks to Swanny Mull and Rorq, and Decca immediately assumed she had been double-crossed by Striker. She broke off their alliance, and demanded revenge. When Decca discovered that Omoega had fled the planet, she was forced to deal with the Jedi. Master Yoda, who had arrived on Mawan shortly after Yaddle's death, insinuated that the Jedi had been scouting Mawan as the site of a satellite temple for the Jedi. Decca decided immediately that she didn't need any more trouble from the Jedi, and voluntarily left Mawan.

Decelerated Luminescent Image
This form of artwork was believed to have been developed by Gorgo the Hutt on his homeworld of Nal Hutta, many centuries before the onset of the Clone Wars. By trapping supercooled prothium gas in a denscris-impervium alloy and bringing the temperature of the gas close to absolute zero, Gorgo created a superfluid that was dense it took light many years to pass through it. Gorgo then took these unusual devices and exposed them to natural vistas all across the planet Nal Hutta for decades. The light from these vistas became trapped inside the supercooled prothium, and eventually moved from one side of the image to the other. In this way, the decelerated luminescent image could be hung on a wall like a window, presenting the viewer with an image of a landscape that changed as the seasons progressed. Over time, or if the temperature of the prothium gas was allowed to increase, the images trapped within the gas would move through it, until the stored images of Nal Hutta disappeared.

(SWGAL)
Decimator
This prototype weapons system was under development by the Old Republic, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Decimator was essentially high-powered turbolaser weapon that could be mounted to a tank for mobility. This tank became known as the Decimator Tank, and could be fitted with a variety of systems, in order to better meet the needs of specific battlefields. Information about the development of the Decimator, which was being jointly built on Eredenn and Alaris Prime, was intercepted by Boorka the Hutt. Boorka sold the information to the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and Count Dooku dispatched Sev'rance Tann to destroy the Decimator facilities. She obtained access codes on Alaris Prime, the took the Eredenn facility by force. Separatist production of the Decimator Tank was begun on Krant, but the facility was eventually destroyed by Jedi Master Echuu Shen-Jon and his contingent of clone troopers.

Decimator Tank
This was the term used to describe the tank-like vehicle that was designed to carry the Decimator weapon into battle. Like the Decimator itself, the tank was originally designed by the Old Republic, but was produced by the Confederacy of Independent Systems after the plans were stolen by Sev'rance Tann. Similarly, the Separatist manufacturing facility on Krant was later destroyed by the Grand Army of the Republic, putting an end to the creation of Decimator Tanks.

Decisive
One of the Imperial-class Star Destroyers in Prince-Admiral Krennel's fleet, the Decisive was paired with the Emperor's Wisdom during the blockade of Liinade III. Later, when Krennel began planning his conquest of Coruscant, he placed the two ships - along with his flagship, the Reckoning - at the forefront of his assault force. However, Krennel's forces were halted before they left Ciutric by a New Republic fleet led by Admiral Ackbar and the Home One. The Decisive took heavy damage from the combined firepower of the Home One and the Emancipator, and was knocked out of the battle early. Its crew eventually surrendered to the New Republic.

Deck Sweeper
This was a model of stunning blaster produced by Merr-Sonn for use by police officers during the height of the New Order. It was originally developed based on the plans for the BlasTech DL-87 Firespray. Unlike the DL-87 weapon, however, the Deck Sweeper stunned its targets rather than injuring them. This gave the Deck Sweeper a slight advantage in firepower, and the ability to disable a large number of targets made it popular among pirates who didn't want to have the deaths of innocent people on their records. Despite its advantages, the weapon was nonetheless rejected by the Imperial military for the same reasons as the DL-87: a low rate of fire and short range.

Declann, Nial
This dark-skinned man was one of the original twelve Grand Admirals of the Empire. A man known for his threatening demeanor and morose personality, Declann was also a student of the Force. He could use a telepathic connection to his troops to merge them into a unified force. He developed his military expertise as a soldier in the Army of the Republic, surviving the Clone Wars before joining the Empire as a TIE Fighter pilot. His skills with the Force left him with a nagging question: why hadn't he ever been chosen for training by the Jedi Knights? Emperor Palpatine, recognizing his military skills and strength in the Force, began training Declann in the ways of the Sith. With these skills, Declann became a Dark Side Adept, and was one of the primary sources of coordination during the Battle of Endor, when he used his telepathic skills aboard the second Death Star to keep the Imperial forces aware of any possible Alliance threat. However, when Darth Vader turned on the Emperor and threw him down a power shaft, Declann felt the Emperor's death through the Force. Declann dropped his connection to the Imperial forces and tried to reach the Emperor, but the Death Star exploded before he could reach the throne room. Declann was killed in the explosion.

Declaration of Rebellion
This was the formal document that was written by Mon Mothma and submitted to Emperor Palpatine, when the Alliance to Restore the Republic was formed. Shortly after the Declaration was submitted, Palpatine dissolved the Imperial Senate and placed control of the galaxy into the hands of his hand-picked Moffs and Grand Moffs. Note that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed indicates that the formal Declaration of Rebellion was signed by Bail Organa, Mon Mothma, and Garm Bel Iblis as part of the New Corellian Treaty. However, they were captured by Darth Vader and taken to the first Death Star, where they were to be executed by Emperor Palpatine himself. They were rescued by Galen Marek, who had been Vader's secret apprentice, but it was unclear when they delivered the Declaration of Rebellion to Palpatine.

Declaration of the Alliance of Free Planets
This document set down the basic tenets upon which Mon Mothma and the Provisional Council planned to lead the galaxy under the New Republic. The Declaration of the Alliance of Free Planets was issued one standard week after the Alliance's victory at the Battle of Endor, and was signed by Mon Mothma, Leia Organa, Kerrithrarr, Doman Beruss, Jenssar SoBilles, Borsk Fey'lya, Sian Tevv, Ackbar, and Verrinnefra B'thog Indriummsegh. The document outlined the key areas in which members worlds were to support the common good of the galaxy, including military action, equality of all races, social responsibility, tolerance, and morality.
The Declaration of the Alliance of Free Planets was surpassed just four weeks later by the Declaration of a New Republic, rendering it a historical document of little or no importance, other than as the precursor of the Alliance's transformation into the New Republic.

Decree, Bammy
This twenty-year-old man worked as a starship mechanic on Nar Shaddaa, during the early years of the New Order. Some ten years younger than Rej Taunt, Bammy owned a small starship repair hangar in the Duros Sector of the Smugglers' Moon. He was hired by the crimelord to perform extensive repairs on the scrapped hulk of the Stellar Envoy. Taunt had been looking to have a custom-built starship created for his use, and Decree had found the Stellar Envoy after it had crashed into the Jendirian Valley Three, and convinced Taunt that he could turn the pile of twisted metal into a gorgeous personal vessel. Shortly after winning the job, Decree realized that he might have bitten off more than he could chew. The ship was in worse shape than he had come to believe, and he all but bankrupted himself trying to meet Taunt's deadlines. In order to assist with the reconstruction, Decree hired a youngster named Shug Ninx to help him. Together they were able to recover the freighter's flight recorder, and Decree was able to piece together a large portion of the ship's history, from the time it was owned by Corell Industries, Limited, to its ownership by Kal and Dova Brigger, to the decade it had been part of the Republic Group's fleet. Eventually, however, Decree and his team rebuilt the freighter and turned it over to Rej Taunt, who renamed the vessel as the Second Chance. In the weeks that followed, Bammy got a distressed call from Taunt, who had been making a run to collect a cargo of buzz droids from the Colicoids. The buzz droids had somehow been activated, and were tearing apart the ship. Bammy was able to remotely help them locate the computer that was controlling the droids, and they shut it down.
More than sixty years later, Bammy was still living on Nar Shaddaa, performing odd jobs from his Duros Sector garage, when Flitcher Poste appeared at the door. Poste asked him to come and talk with someone in the former Red District, who turned out to be Tobb Jadak. Jadak began asking about the Stellar Envoy, and Bammy was able to provide him with the history of the Second Chance. He also explained that Rej Taunt had been sent to the Carcel prison facility, giving Jadak a lead to follow in his search for the ship.

Representing his homeworld of Umbara on the Galactic Senate, Senator Deechi was part of a small faction of Senators who represented planets that were benefitting from the Clone Wars. Thus, when fellow Senators Padme' Amidala and Lolo Purs began speaking out against the production of more clone troopers, Senator Deechi quietly warned them that they were being unpatriotic. This encountered was followed by the sudden death of Senator Onaconda Farr, who had apparently been murdered. Senator Amidala questioned Senator Deechi about Farr's death, since the pair had often been at odds on the Senate floor. Deechi claimed to have had no role in Farr's death, although he did admit to having the Rodian Senator followed on several occasions. He explained that his spies had reported on a secret meeting between Farr and an unknown party in a nearby construction zone, but refused to provide any more information. Unfortunately, Senator Deechi was later found dead in his offices, stabbed through the heart with a dagger, further complicating the investigation by Lieutenant Tan Divo of the Senate Guard.

These ancient, stone tablets were discovered to have been carved during the years following the Kanz Disorders. The tablets were covered with etchings and carvings that were revealed to have been written in the Argazdan language of the time, and described some of the events surrounding the construction of the Slave Pits of Lorrd. Much of the writing was later deciphered by Doctor Helian Rotham, who discovered the connection between the demon architect of the Torphceris story and the alien being known as habensa, as described on the tablets. This being was from somewhere beyond the great void that separated the known galaxy from other galaxies, and had been stranded in the Redoubt when her starship's drive system failed. The ancient Argazdans drew upon her strange knowledge, creating the slave pits in the hopes of developing a weapon that would help the defeat the combined forces of the Jedi Knights and the Old Republic.

Deep Core
A major stronghold of the Empire for decades, this area of the galaxy contained Byss. It was located between the Galactic Core (where the Core Worlds were located) and the very center of the known galaxy. It was the area of the galaxy with the greatest density of stars, and the intense gravitational mass of the Deep Core was thought to be impenetrable until Palpatine discovered a handful of safe hyperspace pathways. Throughout the era of the Old Republic, the Deep Core remained as mysterious as the Unknown Regions, and only a few brave explorers even bothered to try and penetrate its depths. At this center of the galaxy was a huge black hole, which made spaceflight - especially through hyperspace - extremely difficult. Many hyperspace lanes through the Deep Core were severely constricted pathways that led to dead-ends, since the density of gravity shadows was vastly greater than the rest of the galaxy. Once discovered, any hyperspace routes throught the Deep Core were jealously-guarded secrets, even after the Empire was defeated at Endor and relegated to the Imperial Remnant. Because the twisting pathways through the Deep Core were difficult to travel, Leia Organa Solo believed that they could be used to trap the Yuuzhan Vong fleet, if only the Imperial Remnant would allow the New Republic to have access to them. She offered Supreme Commander Gilad Pellaeon the Republic's complete intelligence on the Yuuzhan Vong in exchange for the knowledge of the Deep Core's hyperspace routes. Pellaeon gladly agreed, since the Deep Core was part of the New Republic anyway, and the knowledge of the hyperspace routes was essentially useless to the Imperial Remnant.

Deepwater-class Light Freighter
This was a Mon Calamari transport ship design, which predated the standard Mon Calamari light freighter and was one of the first commercially-available Mon Calamari designs. It was designed for use by the Mon Calamari Commercial Expeditionary Service, and some 10,000 of the DeepWater freighters were produced. More than a few of these vessels made their way to the public market, and were popular with independent spacers who made regular runs to aquatic planets, since the DeepWater-class could maneuver in space, atmosphere, and water.
In the wake of the Clone Wars, the Empire quickly dissolved the Expeditionary Service, and the DeepWater freighters were auctioned off to private parties. Like all Mon Calamari designs, each DeepWater freighter was slightly different. One unique feature of this freighter was that it was submersible, and could travel to a depth of a kilometer with some adjustments to its shielding configuration. The DeepWater-class freighter measured 45 meters in length, and was controlled by a pilot and co-pilot. It could transport up to six passengers and 85 metric tons of cargo, and was armed with a single laser turret in its stock configuration.

His fair treatment of her earned him Jade's notice, and she personally recommended to Emperor Palpatine that he be excluded from the investigation into Glovstoak's treachery. Palpatine then had Deerian transferred to a posting on Coruscant, to keep him out of the net the Empire was weaving around Glovstoak.
Deerian later met up with Jade on Coruscant, and revealed that he had been appointed to the team that was upgrading the planet's orbital defenses. He expressed great relief at having been transferred from his previous post, since Glovstoak was later charged with embezzelement and treason.

Defel
The Defel were a wraith-like race of mammals which had fur that absorbed normal light, allowing an individual to appear to be nothing more than a shadow. The Defel race was native to the planet Af'El. In ultraviolet light, they appeared as short, muscular lupine humanoids with thick fur and unusual, three-jointed fingers. In the visible spectrum of light, the fur of the Defel absorbed most wavelengths, making the creature virtually invisible to most humanoid races. They lived underground on the planet Af'El, mining the various metals in the planet's crust and outer core. Because of their knowledge of mining and ores, Defels were known to be excellent metallurgists. Because of their ability to "hide" in normal light, Defels were also known to be excellent hunters and thieves. They could see equally well in the dark and in ultraviolet lighting, and their eyes appeared to glow red in normal light. In bright, normal light, however, a Defel was more or less blind. Those Defel who travel offworld during the daylight hours wore special visors to protect their eyes.

Defender
This was the brand name of Drearian Defense Conglomerate's sporting blaster. Princess Leia Organa used one during her career as Alderaan's Senator, prior to her capture aboard the Tantive IV. It was considered the prototypical sporting blaster, and was rugged enough to be passed on through several generations. For easier storage, the Defender could be broken down into three pieces, but only after a special code was entered into the weapon's keypad.

Defender
Merr-Sonn's high-altitude ion mine, the Defender was used extensively by the Empire to blockade rebellious worlds. The mines were deployed in orbit, and were equipped with cloaking revvers and scatter beams to render themselves nearly undetectable. Any ship travelling within 10 kilometers of the mine triggered the device, which fired ion energy at the ship similar to an ion cannon. The disabled ship was forced to float in space until boarded by Imperial forces.
(CFG)
Defender
This in-system starfighter was developed by the New Republic in the wake of the Battle of Endor, although it saw its greatest popularity after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. The primary mission of the 5.3-meter-long Defender was to defend planets against Imperial raids. It was armed with three laser cannons, one on the nose and one on each side of the fuselage. In order to save space and weight, the Defender was not equipped with a hyperdrive. Although it lacked the speed of an A-Wing, the Defender was well-armed and highly maneuverable. Its two wings were mounted on S-foils, and could be stowed alongside the fuselage during routine patrols or extended outward. The wings were deployed into a downward position when in attack posture, adding to the ship's maneuverability. The main drive systems were augmented by maneuvering thrusters mounted on each wingtip, allowing the Defender to spin 180 degrees by firing the maneuvering thrusters in opposite directions. However, the wings were susceptible to stress damage during such high-speed maneuvers, especially in a planet's atmosphere.

Defender
This vessel was one of three Bakuran Bakura-class destroyers deployed by Hortel Ossilege in an effort to assist the New Republic in breaking the blockade of the Corellian System, some eighteen years after the Battle of Yavin. It was one of four ships, along with the Intruder, Watchkeeper, and Sentinel, that were built specifically for the defense of the Bakura System, in the wake of the Battle of Bakura. 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.

Defender
This warship was part of the fleet of vessels that supported the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Defender and her sister ship, the Redeemer, were dispatched to the planet Ryloth with the Resolute, as part of a mission to break the Separatist blockade of the planet. The Defedner took heavy damage during the mission, after Separatist Captain Mar Tuuk staged a clever ambush against the Republic's forces. The Defender and the Resolute managed to escape, but the ship was in no shape to continue fighting. Anakin Skywalker then devised a daring plan in which he planned to transfer all personnel, ships, supplies, and armaments from the Defender to the Resolute, then take the Defender by himself back to Ryloth. Skywalker hoped to use the Defender to plow through Mar Tuuk's forces, destroying as much of the Separatist fleet as possible before calling in the Resolute to clean up. Skywalker and his astromech, R2-D2, would then get free of the ship in an escape pod, but not before setting a course to ram Mar Tuuk's command vessel. The plan worked to perfection, as Mar Tuuk was not prepared for the bold move. The Defender hit the main sphere of the Separatist command ship, and both ships exploded in a massive fireball.

Defender
This was the alias adopted by Kinman Doriana, while he was working for Darth Sidious to undermine the negotiations between the Corporate Alliance and the Brolfi government, some five years after the Battle of Naboo. Defender provided the Brolfi, led by an individual known as Patriot, with the plans and materials to create a slinker missile that would explode in the conference room where the negotiations were taking place. Unknown to Patriot and the Brolfi, Doriana was simply programming the missile with a re-determined flight path, since he knew exactly where the conference room was. The plan was to eliminate Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth, as part of Darth Sidious' plan to eliminate the threat posed by the Outbound Flight project. However, when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker arrived on Barlok to assist Master C'baoth, Sidious was forced to rethink his plans. They arranged for C'baoth to destroy the slinker missile, which eventually ensured that funding would be approved for Outbound Flight. Doriana then left Barlok and set out to gather a secret military fleet to hunt down Outbound Flight.

Defender-class Assault Carrier
This starship design was one of the New Class of starships approved for use by the New Republic Navy. It measured 700 meters in length, and was based on the Majestic-class cruiser. Its primary mission profile was as a fighter platform, since it was only armed with 20 anti-fighter laser cannons. Like the Majestic-class cruiser, the Defender-class carrier required a crew of 4,050, but only 20 gunners and the capacity to transport up to 700 troops. They had Class-1 hyperdrives. They were originally designed to transport three full squadrons of Defender starfighter, but many were modified to carry E-Wings.

Defender-class Star Destroyer
Known to the New Republic military as a "pocket Star Destroyer," these new-class ships were 65% the size of an Imperial-I class Destroyers but had the firepower of the Imperial-II class. They were the best-defended ships in the galaxy at the time of the Battle of N'zoth, with virtually impervious armor plating and shields. The Defender-class could transport a full wing of starfighters for assault missions, as well as a wing of long-range fighters. They saw limited production as the New Republic down-sized its military after the negotiation of peace with Admiral Pellaeon and the Empire. At 1,040 meters in length, each Defender-class ship was armed with 40 heavy turbolaser batteries, 40 heavy turbolaser cannons, 20 ion cannons, 8 tractor beam projectors, and 8 concussion missile launchers. This version of Star Destroyer required a crew of 6,795, with 244 gunners and the capacity to transport 1,600 troops. The first of these ships was christened the Obi-Wan, after jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Defoliator Capsule
This warhead was developed by General Lok Durd for the Separatists, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The defoliator capsule was a weapon that used a specialized wave of energy to destroy organic plant material, but leave machinery intact. In this way, a planet's ecosystem could be ravaged, leaving the native population without the fruits, vegetables, and grains that were needed for basic survival. The capsule itself was a simply artillery shell, allowing the capsule to be fired from a wide range of cannons. The weapon was first tested on the planet Maridun, where it proved quite effective in wiping out the grasses that covered the plains. When General Durd tried to use the weapon against the Lurmen who lived on the planet, a group of Jedi Knights and clone troopers used energy shields to deflect the wave of defoliating energy. In the battle that ensued, Anakin Skywalker was able to destroy the defoliator cannon, rendering the weapon useless.

It was believed that dejarik originated as a game played by the ancient Jedi Order, as an educational tool that taught players to consider the entire board, rather than a single gamepiece, when planning their actions. In this way, Jedi could train their minds to seek out all information on a given situation before acting. Chewbacca had a dejarik table on board the Millennium Falcon, and was considered something of a master player. The exact origins of dejarik were lost in time, and scholars and historians continue to argue over them. Dejarik was sometimes referred to as holochess, although the two games had different styles of play.

This Sullustan was one of the few members of his race to achieve a position of power on the Vaufthau Processing Industries corporate ladder. He earned his position as the Local Adminsitrator of Vaufthau's operations on Goroth Prime, during the height of the New Order, because of his drive and determination to make the operation successful. Vaufthau was the smallest of the four major corporations with interests on Goroth Prime, but Garl never failed to achieve his goals. Many of these goals were achieved through corporate espionage, which led many of his peers to wonder how far he could go up the corprorate ladder.

Delaluna
This was the natural moon of the planet Junction 5. Delaluna had a breathable atmosphere, and many settlers from Junction 5 chose to make their home on the moon. More than 20 years before the onset of the Clone Wars, the natives of Delaluna were believed to have developed a weapon that could be used to against large-scale targets. While the authorities on Delaluna denied the existence of the weapon, the natives of Junction 5 - who called it the Annihilator - lived in constant fear of being destroyed by it.

A native of Pendarr III, this man was the leader of the military group known as Pendarran Warriors. They assisted the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic during the Clone Wars, and were later targeted for elimination during Emperor Palpatine's purge of the Jedi. Gendal was killed by Imperial agents, leaving his son Kolor an orphan.
(WBC)
Delan, Kolor
A native of the planet Pendarr III, Kolor was the son of Gendal Delan. When Emperor Palpatine rose to power and eliminated the Jedi Knights, he also eliminated the Pendarran Warriors. His purge included Kolor's father, Gendal, and Kolor grew to hate the Empire with every fiber of his being. When he was old enough, the orphaned Kolor formed his own military operation, Pendarran's Revenge. This new group assisted the Alliance several times during the Galactic Civil War, but after the Battle of Endor, Kolor turned his attention to the New Republic. It was unknown if he held a grudge against the fledgeling government, or if someone hired Pendarran's Revenge to act against them.
(WBC)
Delan, Naja
This male Duros and his family moved to Cularin several years before the onset of the Clone Wars. His family represented Duro on Cularin, serving as diplomats and government officials. When his family decided to move back to Duro, they allowed Naja to stay on Cularin with relatives. This gave the young male a chance to remain with his friends and complete his education. He became the leader of a small group of friends, with whom he spent many an afternoon explaining the various conspiracy theories he found around every corner.
Naja was not disposed to flaunt his family's power, a trait that led him to gain friends with relative ease. Like his friends, Naja believed that the Jedi Knights were perfect, although it was only Naja who believed that the onset of the Clone Wars was predicated by sinister elements within the Galactic Senate. His belief in conspiracies often led him to dead ends or misconceptions, until one day when he stumbled upon the plot to assassinate Gavid Lermyn.
The four young beings were discovered, and forced to run for their lives, when they ran into a group of freelance agents who agreed to help them.

Delari Prime
This primary planet in the Delari System, located in the Corva Sector, was a bountiful world until it was hit by an asteroid several millenia before the Galactic Civil War. As a result, the planet pushed closer to the twin stars at the center of the system. The climatic changes which occurred rendered Delari Prime a desert wasteland. The Empire established a communications base on Delari Prime, but it was abandoned after the Battle of Endor. The base was eventually sold to an elderly archaeologist.

Delaya
This was one of the planets in the Alderaan System. It was home to an Alliance satellite transmission station which orbitted the planet, during the height of the New Order. In order to maintain the natural environment of Alderaan, factories and industrial complexes were either built on, or moved to, Delaya. Cities rose up around the primary manufacturing centers, and much of the planet's population was transported to Delaya to work in the factories. The constant manufacture of products meant that all usable space was adapted for new factories, and the cities became crowded and dirty. Carlist Rieekan was inspecting the station when the first Death Star blew up Alderaan, prompting him to join the military forces of the Alliance. In the months that followed the Battle of Yavin, Delaya became a place where dishomed Alderaanians could hide in plain sight, gathering from across the galaxy to mourn together and plan for their futures. However, without the demand incurred by the citizens of Alderaan, the manufacturing centers on Delaya were forced to shut down until other buyers could be found. This meant that the planet's existing population was suddenly impoverished, a state that was only exacerbated by the influx of Alderaanian survivors. Note that Star Wars: Rebel Force - Hostage indicates that Delaya was an "only child" after Alderaan's destruction.

Delaya-class Courier
This ancient Hoersch-Kessel starship was highly aerodynamic, having a number of large steering vanes and airfoils. These were tied into a computer system that could adjust each one's angle for maximum maneuverability. The ship's twenty-one engines were arranged in groups of three, and each group was connected to a servo-mechanism that allowed them to be independently positioned for direction and maximum thrust. The Delaya-class could attain speeds of 950 kilometers an hour in atmosphere. The stock ship was lightly armed, and had minimal hull plating. These could be added for combat use, although the Delaya-class was designed to transport personnel from planet to planet. The Delaya-class courier measured 70 meters in length, and required a pilot and co-pilot to operate. The ship had room for up to 8 passengers and 10 metric tons of cargo, and was often armed with a front-mounted proton torpedo launcher and a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons.

This ancient man was one of a handful of forward-thinking Jedi Masters who developed the idea of creating a mobile base of operations for the Jedi of the Old Republic. Some 400 years before the Battle of Yavin, these Jedi Masters felt that the Jedi - as well as the rest of the Republic - were resting on their laurels, and needed to ensure their continued development and advancement or become stagnant. To this end, Delbaeth and his fellow Jedi designed the massive training ship Chu'unthor, to serve as mobile base of operations from which the Jedi could observe the galaxy and keep pace with its trends.

Delckis, Rannd
An Alliance Communications Officer who served on the Flurry at Bakura, Delckis was a native of the Virgillian System and a veteran of the Virgillian Civil War. Delckis was born into the aristocracy, and even attended the Imperial Academy. After graduation, Delckis served on the Stormwind as a junior communications assistant. Fatefully, the Stormwind was ordered to the Virgillian System to put down rebellious activity on the primary planet's forested moon. Delckis was forced to accompany his commanding offcier, Captain Jarroth, to the moon's surface, where he witnessed the brutal interrogation of suspected freedom fighters. Rather than return to the oppression of the Empire, Delckis defected and stayed behind when the Stormwind took off. However, Delckis was not welcomed into the ranks of the freedom fighters with open arms, given his family history and his initial support of the Empire. Tessa Manchisco, however, recognized his skills and his loyalties, and requested his presence onboard the Flurry. Rannd proved to be an invaluable resource, providing the Virgillians with expertise in the use of Imperial sensors and the HoloNet. Unfortunately, Delckis was killed when the Flurry was destroyed during the Battle of Bakura.

Deld, Corlin Quarle
This man was Daven Quarle's grandfather, and one of the principle owners of Verkuylian BactaCo. He was considered one of the leaders of the planet Verkuyl, until it was nationalized by the Empire. He was known as a cautious, even paranoid, businessman, and the headquarters of Verkuylian BactoCo were riddled with secret passageways and hidden rooms. It was Deld who bought the planet Verkuyl originally, recognizing the potential profits of the vast alazhi forests. He built the factories and hired the workers, and was known as a fair and honest leader despite the fact that he held the workers as indentured workers on ten-year contracts. When the Empire nationalized Verkuyl, Deld erased the entire computer database on Verkuylian BactaCo, in an effort to ensure the Imperial forces wouldn't see his business dealings.

Delegation of the Two Thousand
This was the term used to describe the 2,000 Senators of the Old Republic who signed the so-called Petition of the Two Thousand, which called for the elimination of certain emergency powers that had been granted to Chancellor Palpatine during the height of the Clone Wars. Although Palpatine agreed to hear the petition, he twisted its intentions when discussing it later with Anakin Skywalker. Palpatine told Anakin that the petition was not a call for a return to normalcy in the Republic, but the opening salvo in a Jedi-led plot to overthrow the Chancellor's office and place control of the galaxy in the hands of the Jedi Council. According to Palpatine, the Delegation of the Two Thousand that drafted and signed the petition was under the control of the Jedi Council's powers of persuasion. The Petition later became the basis upon which Palpatine began his purge of the Senate, since he knew that most every Senator in the Delegation of the Two Thousand had opposed his control of the galaxy. Many Senators tried to remain free of Imperial entanglements by recanting their support for the Petition, especially in the wake of the death of Fang Zar.

This Alliance soldier was the only rookie chosen for inclusion in Han Solo's Endor assault team, preparation for the Battle of Endor. Note that the Star Wars Customizable Card Game - Endor expansion claims Delevar was a veteran of the Battle of Hoth. He was chosen as a scout and medic for Solo's assault team, and prided himself on being an effiicent soldier in General Madine's commando forces. On the Forest Moon of Endor, Delevar served under Bren Derlin, but did little more than prove that he was a nervous, trigger-happy youth. He nearly gave the commandos' position away while trying to take pot-shots at the Imperial forces, and Derlin might have strangled him on the spot if he hadn't learned that Delevar was firing smoke canisters at the Imperials. One of his shots flew into the viewport of an AT-ST walker, smoking out the two pilots and giving the rebels a chance to capture them.

This large, caramel-furred Wookiee was one of the small group of Wookiees that established a colony on Cularin, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Delinna and her mate, Surracca, helped form the small colony, creating a village known as Kiirloor near the slopes of Cloud Mountain. They chose to relocate to Cularin after hearing Jedi Master Kirlocca speak of its beauty. Several years after the Battle of Naboo, the Wookiee clan was shaken when the evil Tarasin Xinishia kidnapped Chywarra, one of the younger female Wookiees, in an attempt to drive the Wookiees away from her secret lair. Surracca and Delinna appealed to Mother Dariana of the Hiironi, hoping to enlist her aid in fighting back against Xinishia. A group of freelance agents who were friends of the Hiironi agreed to accompany Surraca and Delinna back to Kiirloor and help the Wookiees.

Dellalt
This planet was one of the many worlds located within the Tion Hegemony. The average day on Dellalt was slightly shorter than the galactic standard on Coruscant, giving Dellalt a year that lasted half again as long as that on Coruscant. Gravity on Dellalt was also slightly greater than standard. Dellalt orbited a blue-white star, and was in turn orbited by a pair of natural satellites. It was known as the homeworld of the Swimming People, a race of aquatic sauropteroids. Dellalt was, at one time, part of a strategic cluster of planets settled during pre-Old Republic Expansionist growth. It was during this period that the planet came under the watchful eye of Xim the Despot, who hoped to use it as his base of operations when he began his galactic conquest. Dellalt became the primary jewel in Xim's empire. He built huge vaults on the planet's southern continent to store his amassed wealth, and planned to fill them when his conquests were completed. Thus it was that the starship Queen of Ranroon was en-route to Dellalt, to deliver a huge shipment of war materiel, when Xim fell at the Third Battle of Vontor. The Queen of Ranroon eventually arrived at Dellalt, but the vaults could not be opened without Zim. So, the ship was hidden in the mountains near the vaults, until it was discovered by Han Solo and Badure many millennia later. Since the time of Xim, a large mining operation flourished on Dellalt, but it began to stagnate under the ownership of J'uoch and R'all. As with much of the Tion Hegemony during the rule of Emperor Palpatine, Dellalt was virtually forgotten. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Dellalt was overrun during the second wave of attacks.

Unknown to everyone, however, was the fact that the Survivors had dismantled the great ship, and had stored its cargo in the deepest vaults located beneath the bank's main building. This secret was eventually exposed several years before the Battle of Yavin by Han Solo, Alexsandr Badure, Hasti Troujow, and Skynx.

It took the entire might of the Imperial 501st Legion to locate and finally dispose of Dellso, once he had gone to ground on the lava-covered planet. His droid-producing factories were bombarded from orbit, ensuring that none of his mechanical constructions were ever used against the Empire.

Delois, Ygal
This man was one of the best fighters of his generation on the planet Shiva IV. He pledged his allegiance to Aron Peacebringer during the years leading up to the Battle of Hoth, working with both human and T'Syriel to unite the population of the planet. Delois served as Aron's chief aide, ensuring that the day-to-day running of Illyriaqum was handled smoothly. During a mission to investigate the fate of the city of K'avor, Delois and Aron discovered Leia Organa, who had crashlanded on the planet. Leia was in the sector to investigate the build-up of Imperial forces in the area, and her shuttle had been hit by a micromine.
Unknown to Aron at the time, Delois was plotting to overthrow his leadership of the Calian Confederacy and assume control for himself. He allied himself with Imperial General Sk'ar, and helped ensure that Aron was captured. His dreams of power were shattered, however, when Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, and Chewbacca arrived on Shiva IV to rescue Leia. They apprehended Sk'ar's warship as it attempted to destroy Illyriaqum, and Delois was defeated by Luke in combat. Delois was captured and put in prison as a traitor to the Calian Confederacy.

According to legends cited by the Renik branch of the Imperial Intelligence agency, the Delorf were a race of aliens that supposedly inhabited a star system near the Galactic Core. The Delorf were a pastoral race who never cared for technology. Among them, some Delorf were able to sense hostility and evil in another being, regardless of race. When such an individual was descovered, the Delorf performed a ceremony known as renik to cleanse the individual of their hostility and treachery. Individuals who made it through the ceremony were welcomed into the Delorf family. These stories, according to many insiders, were simply allegories that were used to describe the fact that the Renik branch was charged with infiltrating and assimilating enemy spy operations.

Known more for her ability to lead than her charisma and good looks, Delpin attained the rank of Admiral just before Thrackan Sal-Solo tried to secede the Corellian System from the Galactic Alliance. When Dur Gejjen assumed the role of Prime Minister after Sal-Solo's assassination, Admiral Delpin found herself elevated in stature when she led the Corellian assault force that tried to assassinated the Hapan Queen Mother, Tenel Ka. Although the mission ultimately failed, that failure was blamed on Supreme Commander Wedge Antilles, and Admiral Delpin was promoted to fill his position.
Her appointment to the position was secure until Corellian forces were joined by military ships from Bothawui and Commenor, and the Corellian Confederation was formed. The Bothans demanded that the group be renamed simply as The Confederation, and that the position of Supreme Commander be filled during a face-to-face election among the group's members. Thus, Delpin's tenure as Supreme Commander lasted only a few months before she was replaced in an election by Turr Phennir.
Because her loyalty remained to the Corellian government, she allied herself with Sardas Koyan, and took control of his secret project to assassinate Jacen Solo. Koyan planned to lure Solo to a specific location in space, then use the Centerpoint Station weapon to destroy him. Admiral Delpin set up a series of simulated firings, to test Centerpoint's operational status as well as to ready her team for the actual attack. The primary problem was that Centerpoint was still imprinted with the biometrics of Anakin Solo, so they had to find innovative ways to bypass the Anakin Solo lockouts. While this allowed Delpin and her team to actually fire the weapon when ordered by Koyan, the station shut down other systems in an effort to bypass their efforts. This left Delpin with a handful of inoperative systems after the firing, and it took her several minutes to get a full understanding of what had happened.
After learning that the shot that ws fired from Centerpoint Station destroyed a large part of the Corellian fleet, yet failed to kill Jacen Solo, Delpin and her co-conspirators were forced to hide in the command bunker on Corellia. The leaders of The Confederation had denounced the attack, and had embargoed Corellia in response. Although she still supported the use of Centerpoint Station, Admiral Delpin was nonetheless intrigued when Denjax Teppler approached her with a plan to eliminate Sadras Koyan. Teppler's plan was for him to assume control of Corellia's government, while Delpin was to take command of the planet's military forces.

Delrakkin
This race of lizard-like humanoids was native to the planet Delrakkin. Most of the Delrakkins lived underground, to escape the planet's vicious storms. Those that lived aboveground were concentrated within the borders of Delrakkin City, until the Empire subjugated the planet and drove all of the Delrakkins underground. The Alliance's leadership later discovered that Delrakkin was the test site of a device which would prevent starships from entering hyperspace, and that the entire Delrakkin race was to be eliminated in order to maintain the secrecy of the project. The ruse was predicated on an Imperial attack on Delrakkin city, although the Imperial pilots were using X-Wings, to make it appear as if the Alliance was behind the attacks. The contaminated bacta on the first Death Star was to have been used to "heal" the Delrakkins in the wake of the attack, although it really would have killed them. The plan was for the Delrakkins to readily accept the bacta as a gift in the wake of the attacks, when in reality it was laced with a chemical that would kill the Delrakkins. Only a downed Alliance pilot managed to expose the plans, saving the Delrakkins from certain death.

Delrakkin
This temperate, forested planet was the primary world in the Delrakkin System, which was located some twelve hours through hyperspace from the Yavin System. Many star chats placed Delrakkin beyond the edge of the Outer Rim, at the end of a little-used hyperspace travel route. Although the planet was covered During the height of the New Order, the Empire tried to establish an alazhi production facility on the planet, since its environment closely mirrored that of Thyferra. The Alliance's leadership later discovered that Delrakkin was the test site of a device which would prevent starships from entering hyperspace, and that the native Delrakkins were to be eliminated in order to ensure the secrecy of the project. A plot was hatched that started with an attack on Delrakkin City by Imperial pilots flying in stolen X-Wings. The idea was to kill or injure as many Delrakkins as possible, while blaming the attack on the Alliance. Imperial forces would have then arrived with bacta - albeit it tainted bacta - from the first Death Star. The plan was for the Delrakkins to readily accept the bacta as a gift in the wake of the attacks, when in reality it was laced with a chemical that would kill the Delrakkins. Only a downed Alliance pilot managed to expose the plans, saving the Delrakkins from certain death.
(MIS2, MIS3, GMR1)
Delrakkin City
This was the capital city of the planet Delrakkin. It was considered the only civilization location on the planet, having been established on top of a mountain, well about the cloud layer and the storms that swept across Delrakkin's surface. For many generations, the native Delrakkins were the primary inhabitants of the city. When the Empire subjugated the planet, the invading Imperial forces drove all the Delrakkins underground. With the Delrakkins gone, the Empire garrisoned the city and established a defensive perimeter around it. Then, for reasons known only to Admiral Termo, the Imperials attacked the city and leveled many of its buildings. However, the Imperials used X-Wing starfighters in the attack, in an effort to fool the Delrakkins into thinking that the Alliance had been behind the attack. In the aftermath of the attack, Imperial forces would have arrived with bacta - albeit it tainted bacta - from the first Death Star. The plan was for the Delrakkins to readily accept the bacta as a gift in the wake of the attacks, when in reality it was laced with a chemical that would kill the Delrakkins. Only a downed Alliance pilot managed to expose the plans, saving the Delrakkins from certain death.

Delrian
Delrian was a prison planet used to incarcerate the worst of criminals. During their stay on Delrian, prisoners were put to work in the mines that riddled the planet's crust, excavating ores that were sold to help fund the prison's operations. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Wat Tambor was incarcerated there before he was rescued by Separatist commandos. Doctor Evazan was also imprisoned there, until he escaped to the Hindasar System. Use of the Delrian prisons continued during the early years of the New Republic, as a deterrent against the various forms of unrest that cropped up in the wake of the Battle of Endor.

Delta
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 fourth group discovered by the targetting computer was usually assigned to the Delta group, and the ships within that group were also given a numerical identifier, such as Delta 1. In situations where starfighters from two or more base ships were participating in a battle, the designation Delta was preceded by a character that was unique to the base ship.

Delta Source
This was the codename given to the Imperial information-gathering system that provided a wealth of data about the activities of the New Republic, some five years after the Battle of Endor. Delta Source was one of many espionage systems left behind by the Empire when Coruscant was retaken by the Republic. Delta Source, however, wasn't a living being, nor was it a re-programmed protocol droid or renegade computer system. Instead, it was a fairly simple - yet ingenious - combination of technology and nature.
There was a vast number of MN-2E maintenance droids that worked in the natural areas surrounding the Imperial Palace, making regular stops to prune and maintain the ch'hala trees grown in the nearby Grand Corridor. Imperial scientists learned that these ch'hala trees, which reacted to all manner of vibrations in their immediate environment, served as a form of organic microphone. They could even pick up the sound waves produced when beings spoke aloud in their immediate vicinity. Deep inside one of these trees, Imperial scientists attached a communications tube to its taproot. This communications tube had fiber sensors implanted throughout the tree, as well as a transmission link. The Imperials then adapted one of the maintenance droids, giving it a reception system that could download any information that had been recorded by the ch'hala tree. The maintenance droid would then transmit the recovered data on top of other, more routine maintenance information.
This system worked exceptionally well for many years, primarily because it relied on two objects that were never considered to be of any value to espionage agents. Delta Source remained active for many years, transmitting its signals to any Imperial outpost that remembered to collected them. In this way, many of the New Republic plans for confronting Grand Admiral Thrawn were discovered well before they were carried out, giving Thrawn a chance to establish a more effective counter-attack. Because of the effects of Delta Source, the early leaders of the New Republic considered moving their base of operations off Coruscant, in an effort to regain control of the war against Thrawn. Before they knew the true nature of Delta Source, it was believed that Delta Source was a technology-based system that had been built into the Imperial Palace.
Only the timely notice of Leia Organa Solo, who witnessed the maintenace droid performing its regular download of information, helpde identify the truth behind Delta Source. Luckily for the New Republic, only one ch'ala tree was found to have been compromised, and Delta Source was effectively shut down.
(HTTE, TLC, OWS)
Delta Squad
This was one of the many clone commando units of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the era of the Clone Wars. Delta Squad was a part of the 05 Commando Battalion, one of the Special Operations units that made up Arca Company, and was based on Coruscant. Delta Squad was led by the commando known as Boss, and counted Sev, Fixer, and Scorch among its members. Delta Squad was one of twelve units - known as pods - that had survived the first year of the Clone Wars without any casualties.
The clones of Delta Squad maintained a cool displacement from their instructor, Walon Vau, whom they saw as their master and leader. This was in contrast to the demeanor of Omega Squad, who maintained an affectionate relationship with their instructor, Kal Skirata. It was therefore a strange twist when Walon Vau joined Skirata and several members of Omega Squad on a personal mission to locate Ko Sai, while Delta Squad was assigned to Arligan Zey. Zey had been ordered by Chancellor Palpatine to locate Ko Sai, putting the two units into a strange form of competition. This meant that the members of Delta Squad worried about failing the mission and disappointing Vau, even though Skirata's mission ultimately captured Ko Sai.

Delta-12 Skysprite
This small, two-person transport ship was developed by Kuat Drive Yards during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was equipped with sublight engines, and required a separate hyperdrive ring to achive faster-than-light travel. The Delta-12 was essentially a larger version of the Delta-7 Aethersprite, although the weapons systems were removed. Note that the description of the Delta-Twelve as a larger version of the Delta-Seven comes from Survivor's Quest, which places a Delta-Twelve aboard the D-Three Dreadnaught of Outbound Flight. However, the HoloNet News website indicates that the Delta-Seven was a new ship developed shortly before the Clone Wars. This was at or after the time that the Outbound Flight Project was supposed to have been launched. About ten years after the Battle of Geonosis, Kuat Drive Yards sold the entire Delta line to Sienar Fleet Systems, choosing to concentrate on capital ships instead of fighters.

Delta-6 Aethersprite
This was a starfighter developed during the years following the Battle of Naboo. This may simply be a typographical error in Jedi Quest: The School of Fear, referring instead to the Delta-7 Aethersprite. About ten years after the Battle of Geonosis, Kuat Drive Yards sold the entire Delta line to Sienar Fleet Systems, choosing to concentrate on capital ships instead of fighters. Where the Delta-7 was essentially a sort-bodied snubfighter, the Delta-6 was a long-nosed fighter, although it retained the arrowhead shape and rear cockpit location.

Delta-7
This modified Aethersprite-class light interceptor was part of the small fleet of ships maintained by the Jedi Knights, some twenty-two years before the Battel of Yavin. Used by Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Delta-7 was one of the first ships to be equipped with a TransGalMeg Syliure-31 hyperdrive booster ring, giving it independence from a hyperdrive-equipped support ship. About ten years after the Battle of Geonosis, Kuat Drive Yards sold the entire Delta line to Sienar Fleet Systems, choosing to concentrate on capital ships instead of fighters.

This was the designation of the second-generation Delta-7 Aethersprite interceptor that was produced during the era of the Clone Wars. Like its predecessor, the Delta-7B Aethersprite was a wedge-shaped cradft that lacked a hyperdrive, and required the use of a hyperdrive ring for supralight travel. The Delta-7B was equipped with an astromech port, but the astromech was positioned directly in front of the cockpit, instead of off to one side.

However, Andos was continually bested by Mika Streev, and this rankled Andos deeply. He desired to be the best, to have the power and prestige that came with being his planet's chosen champion. To this end, he agreed to help the Empire subjugate the Ishanna System. Andos hoped that this would allow him to kill Streev and become Rabaan's champion. He brought the Imperials to the Combat Moon just as Streev and the S'krrr Sh'shak were about to do battle. Andos brought with him a contingent of stormtroopers led by a man named Jan, and tried to lure Streev away. Streev was too quick, and he killed Jan before advancing on Andos.

(RCTC, KORH)
Demagol
This vicious Mandalorian biologist set up a research facility on the planet Flashpoint, during the final stages of the Mandalorian War, to study the reasons why only the Jedi Knights and the Sith seemed to be able to touch and use the Force. An imposing figure in his own right, Demagol wore a modified version of Mandalorian armor in his labs. Very few beings knew his true identity, let alone whether he was human or alien. The dark gray armor he wore was studded with medical tools and testing devices, as well as a rebreather and other safety measures. The title Demagol came from the Mandalorian word demagol, which meant something like "carver of flesh."
After years of studying the Jedi, however, Demagol was no closer to discovering the ways a Jedi could connect with the Force. Subjects like Squint proved valuable, but they invariable used their abilities to prevent Demagol from making any connections. Thus, when Zayne Carrick was brought in by Rohlan Dyre, Demagol figured that he would use the Padawan for a vivisection. However, as he began the procedure, Demagol was unprepared for Rohlan's attack. Using a war club, Rohlan smashed Demagol in the head, rendering him unconscious. Zayne then donned Demagol's armor, in an effort to rescue Jarael from the research facility.
After completing the rescue, Dyre bundled Demagol's unconscious form into another set of armor and locked him aboard the Last Resort, so that they could transport the biologist back to Coruscant for questioning. He was later transferred to Squint's vessel, when the Jedi prepared to return to Coruscant. He remained in a coma after arriving on Coruscant, and the Jedi were unable to revive him.

He became one of the galaxy's most recognized entertainers, leading a travelling revue whose shows ended with his feats of illusion. They traveled the galaxy in DeMain's ship, the Siren III. In the much-hyped "Escape at Cloud City," DeMain nearly perished when his escape trick almost failed. He recovered from the physical wounds, but his stature as an entertainer was greatly diminished.

One of those who tried to gain employment with the gang was a youth named Dado, but Demanna refused to fight someone so young. Dado drew his damaged sword anyway, forcing Demanna to draw his own weapon in defense. The fight never took place, however, because Dass Jennir stepped in and fired his blaster at Demanna, knocking the sword from his hands. Jennir then disarmed Demanna's Chargian thugs, prompting one of them to draw a blaster and fire on the human. Demanna stepped in and demanded that the blaster be holstered, as per Sword Law. Demanna explained that Jennir was exempt from Sword Law because he was newly-arrived on Telerath, but he stabbed the Chagrian who fired on Jennir in the chest, as a lesson to any being who would disregard the law in the future.

The Democratic Alliance developed a strong following among the population, and held a large percentage of the seats on the Corellian Assembly. Members of the Democratic Alliance worked with their counterparts in the Corellian Liberal Front and the Centerpoint Party to block measures that were instituted by Sal-Solo and his cronies, using their influence in the government to hold off his more radical moves. Although none of the parties would admit it, they secretly agreed to work in a coalition government if Sal-Solo were ever to be "removed" from power. To this end, Democratic Alliance leader Dur Gejjen secretly contracted Boba Fett to eliminate Sal-Solo. In the wake of Sal-Solo's assassination, Gejjen and his counterparts in the other factions established the groundwork for a new coalition government under Deputy President Vol Barad, with the Democratic Alliance and the Corellian Liberal Front working together under the advisement of the Centerpoint Party.

Demtri
This feral humanoid was one of the many that were living in Andeddu's Keep, on the planet Prakith, during the years that followed the Sith-Imperial War. Demtri, like his brother, Gerlun, was born within the Keep, and he had been exposed to the Dark Side energy that permeated its walls since before his birth. These beings believed themselves to be Sith, they lacked any real training or mastery of the Force, although they did wield red-bladed lightsabers. Demtri and Gerlun were among the first group of feral beings to try and stop Darth Wyyrlok from entering the Keep, when the Sith Lord arrived at Prakith in order to locate the tomb of Darth Andeddu. Demtri and the others were thwarted when Darth Wyyrlok used the Force to project multiple images of himself, each of which seemed to be ready to attack. Demtri lashed out with his lightsaber, but found that he was swinging at a phantom. Darth Wyyrlok then stepped up behind Demtri and slashed him deeply across the chest, nearly cutting Demtri in half and killing him almost instantly.

This Denfrani man was the Magister of the planet Taloraan, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When the Galactic Republic requested an audience with Denache to discuss an alliance with the Denfrandi, Denache agreed to meet with the Republic's representatives. However, when Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano arrived on Taloraan City, Denache feigned an illness and sent his chief emissary, Sech Govlinder, to meet with the Jedi. He ordered Govlinder to handle the negotiations, explaining that the Jedi were capable of using mind control on other beings, and that he needed to view the negotiations from a distance in order to ensure the Jedi were not abusing their powers. However, unknown to Govlinder and the Jedi, Denache had already been contacted by Count Dooku, and was planning to side with the Separatists. When the Jedi discovered the battle droids that the Separatists were moving through Taloraan City, Govlinder received word of their existence, and confronted Denache, who was in a meeting with Dooku. Denache tried to feign ignorance and blamed Dooku for the droid. When Dooku threatened to take action against the Denfrandi, Denache ordered his security teams to capture the Jedi and hold them captive, hoping to use them as a bargaining chip with Dooku. However, the Jedi managed to escape and request reinforcements, forcing Denache to accept the fact that his career was doomed, no matter what the outcome of the conflict would be. Rather than accept his fate, however, Denache chose to commit suicide, plunging off a balcony to fall to his death at the planet's core.

This small-time shakedown artist was working on Tatooine with Winter, during the New Republic's search for the Imperial Eidolon Base. He was one of the Alliance's best special operatives, using his wits, slyness, and charisma to get the job done. He was also a great judge of character, and was responsible for recruiting many agents into the Alliance. Dendo was a Devaronian male, and he unknowingly hired Rogue Squadron to blow up some of Huff Darklighter's buildings. This would allow Winter to infiltrate Darklighter's safe and steal the data disk containing the location of the base and the weapons hidden there. Firith Olan's agents got there first, and stole the disk before Winter could stop them. Shortly before the Battle of Brentaal, Dendo was given command of Commando team one. He and his commandos were inserted into the city of Vuultin, on Brentaal, to gather intelligence and plan the ground assault that would augment air strikes. His team rescued Wes Janson and Ibtisam after they were shot down by the 181st Imperial Fighter Group, and used their skills to assist in the ground attack. Later, Kapp Dendo led a group of six Noghri on a mission to infiltrate the planet Ciutric and help Corran Horn free the prisoners Ysanne Isard had held on the Lusankya.

Denfrandi
This human tribe was native to the planet Taloraan, and was one of two factions that descended from a group of castaways that discovered the planet's habitable zones. For many generations, the early Denfrandi lived in gondolas slung from the gasbags of hundreds of sleft-chuffi. Over time, as outsiders discovered that Taloraan was rich in Tibanna gas, the Denfrandi began to adopt newer technologies, and eventually established several floating cities in Taloraan's clouds. Because the Denfrandi welcomed outsiders and their technology, they were able to use this to their advantage, and they became the more dominant of the two cultures found in the planet's clouds. They regarded their cousins as the Wind Raiders, because they rode avians creatures and preferred to maintain their more primitive lifestyle. During the era of the Clone Wars, the Denfrandi were nearly destroyed when rebellious officers decided to turn thei Tibanna mines over to the Separatists. However, with the help of the Wind Raiders and a group of Jedi and clone troopers led by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, the other Denfrandi were able to defeat the Separatists and their allies. A new peace was reached between the Denfrandi and the Wind Raiders, reuniting their two societies.
Denfrandi legend claimed that humans originally came to Taloraan in "palaces of metal that flew faster than the winds." However, the demons of the ancient gods became jealous of humanity, and cursed them to fall out of the sky. The gods, pitying the poor humans, provided the sleft-chuffni to rescue them.
(SWJ5, CWWRT)
Dengar
Dengar was a human bounty hunter who was one of the many hunters who answered Darth Vader's call to locate Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon, in the wake of the Battle of Hoth. Dengar grew up as a swoop racer on his native planet of Corellia, and was a member of the Ferini team before he was defeated by Han Solo in a private race in the Agrilat swamp. Dengar was severely injured in the race when he lost sight of Solo and flew underneath him. When Dengar tried to pull up, he slammed into Solo's swoop and then crashed into the crystal swamp, suffering severe facial and cranial traumas during the crash. Dengar recovered, thanks to the prodigious efforts of the local health corps and the technical resources of the Empire.
He was fitted for several cybernetic implants, including new eyes and a series of neural pathways to augment his damaged systems, and given a new set of memories and "programming." The Empire cut out his hypothalmus gland and inserted a central computer module to control the new cybernetic systems. In exchange for "saving his life", the Empire expected Dengar to serve as a faithful assassin. Dengar agreed to this deal, and despite the erasure of his mind and emotions, he continued to carry a great hatred for Solo. He spent a number of years recovering from his injuries and gaining control over his new body. However, when his old memories began to intrude on his consciousness, Dengar left Imperial service after being told to kill the holy children on Asrat.
He decided to try his own hand at bounty hunting, and spent a number of years in remote sectors of space working under the alias 'Payback', while memories of Han Solo continued to resurface. The Empire then put out a warrant for his arrest, hoping to recover their asset. It was during this time that he first met Manaroo, after killing Kritkeen on Aruza. The old rage he felt against Solo caused Dengar to take bounties who bore resemblances to Solo, and Kritkeen was one of them. Despite the warrant for his arrest, Dengar later answered the summons of the Empire when the bounty went out on Solo's head, in the wake of the Battle of Hoth. Darth Vader gave him one chance to be freed from Imperial service, but only if he captured Solo.
Dengar failed to capture Solo, being always one step behind Boba Fett in the search. Dengar was forced into hiding, and was reunited with Manaroo. When Manaroo shared herself with him via her Attanni, Dengar suddenly got an insight on what it was like to be human again. He helped rescue her parents before landing in Mos Eisley. When Manaroo was captured by Jabba the Hutt's henchmen, Dengar plotted to kill the crimelord. He insinuated himself into Jabba's palace, outwardly helping to protect the Hutt from Alliance reprisal at the capture of Han Solo, who was now on display in Jabba's palace. When Boba Fett approached him with an offer to celebrate Solo's capture and imminent death in the Pit of Carkoon, Dengar agreed. Unfortunately, he consumed some drugged Twi'leki liquor and passed out, thereby missing the trip to the Pit of Carkoon that should have ended with the deaths of Solo and Luke Skywalker.
While Dengar was unconscious, Jabba had him tied to the desert floor near the Teeth of Tatooine. Dengar managed to escape, driven by his fear that Manaroo was dead. She wasn't, and she later found him as she seached the desert in a stolen landspeeder. They traveled to Mos Eisley, and Dengar slowly recovered from his wounds. He also agreed to marry Manaroo. In an effort to find enough money to pay their mounting bills, Dengar went out to the desert to find the remains of Jabba's sailbarge. He tried to locate Jabba's identification chip in the wreckage, but instead found the nearly-dead Boba Fett crawling from the sand around the mouth of the sarlacc. In return for saving his life, Fett agreed to be Dengar's best man at his wedding. After he married Manaroo and nursed Fett back to health, Dengar and Fett set out to hunt down Han Solo again. When they found him on Nar Shaddaa, they thought they had it finally ended their respective searches. Solo's escape further confounded Dengar and Fett, who were stranded on the spaceport moon.
After escaping from Nar Shaddaa, Dengar continued to take on bounty hunts to earn credits, and jumped at the opportunity to locate Bornan Thul. However, he was continually thwarted by Zekk, who was actually working for Bornan Thul and refused to divulge his whereabouts.

Master Denia was eventually captured an held prisoner on Cato Neimoidia by the Hutt crimelord Darga, who kept her in a comatose state to prevent her escape. Denia was later rescued by a group of freelance agents who were secretly working for Senator Bail Organa, and transported to Alderaan so that she could remain hidden from the Empire.
After learning that Darga had been providing Tibanna gas to the Empire in exchange for slaves, Master Denia discovered that the slave in question were of a species that she had never encountered. She asked the freelance agents to investigate their origins, and their recovery of a Jedi Holocron from the ruins of the Almas Academy led her to discovery that the aliens were actually members of the Nazren race. When the agents were later dispatched to Coruscant to investigate the Sarlacc Project, Master Denia traveled aboard the frigate Resurgence as part of the recovery mission.
It was at Coruscant that it was revealed that Admiral Gilder Varth had not actually defected his Imperial post, but was pretending in order to expose rebellion in the Senate. Although the agents managed to escape, the Resurgence was destroyed, and Master Denia was recaptured by Inquisitor Draco. Denia was sent to prison on Prakith, where she was held in the Citadel Inquisitorius and tortured. A rescue mission to save her was nearly defeated, until Master Denia sacrificed herself to weaken Draco, allowing the agents to force him to flee.

Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa were dispatched to rescue Denid and return him to the Alliance, in the hopes that his story would serve as a rallying cry for the rebellion on Velmor. During their attempt to obtain the throne, Denid fell in love with Leia, especially after she agreed to portray Loren when they arrived back on Velmor. In the ensuing intrigue, Denid found himself the only surviving member of the royalty, after Anod was shot by Traal and Zelor was defeated by Luke. He assumed the throne which was rightfully his, and agreed to throw off the yoke of Imperial control and join the Alliance. Leia respectfully refused his marriage proposal, and Denid agreed that the Alliance needed her more than he did.

In the wake of the galaxy's invasion by the Yuuzhan Vong and the surrender of the alien invaders at Coruscant, the fledgling Galactic Alliance chose to make a temoprary base of operations on Denon, rather than continue on Mon Calamari, because of its proximity to the Core and the fact that it had escaped the notice - and destruction - of the Yuuzhan Vong.

Denon-Ardru Mutual
This mining and refinery corporation was based on the planet Denon, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Although the influx of credits that were brought to worlds like Ord Sigatt were welcomed by the natives, many beings complained that Denon-Ardru Mutual would soon bring in their own security forces to protect their investments. These security forces were often ruthless in their attempts to defend the mines, and many worlds experienced small rebellions as the natives tried to fight back against corporate oppression. These rebellions were eventually put down when Denon-Ardru Mutual found ways to take over the local governments, implementing new laws that allowed them to confiscate private weapons and steal land from colonists. The operations of Denon-Ardru Mutual were exposed by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn, about eleven years before the Battle of Naboo, during their search for the missing refinery vessel Hardy Harrow. A Senator from Denon had reported the ship missing, fearing that the crew had been captured or killed by pirates. The Jedi discovered that the ship was nothing more than an automated barge, and had the corporation's personnel on Ord Sigatt arrested and sent back to Denon in the ship. Further investigation revealed that the Senator who had made the initial report had provided a large percentage of the finances used to establish the operations on Ord Sigatt.

This manufactured material, noted for it incredibly high melting point, was developed to replace glass or plastic. The primary uses for denscris were in situations where glass or plastic might shatter and cause injury to a living being. Some mundane uses included aluminized denscris that was pressed to form mirrors. The Empire used denscris in the manufacture of helmets for TIE Fighter pilots. The denscris was formed in opaque colors for use in the main section of the helmet, and in a polarizing clear form for use in visors and faceplates.

Density Projector
This form of combat tractor beam generator was developed by the scientists of Batkoid Combat Automata for the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the height of the Clone Wars. The density projector was produced for use on the B3-series Ultra Battle Droid, and created a localized tractor beam that could be used to secure the droid in place, or to increase its apparent weight by a factor of twenty. In this way, a B3-series droid could be placed in a position to protect a command post or other installation, and it would be nearly impossible to topple or knock over. The device could also be used at specific points in battle, such as when a B3 droid stepped on an enemy tank or other vehicle. When activated, the density projector allowed the droid to crush the vehicle beneath its feet. Unfortunately, the density projector proved to be a troublesome device, and a good number of technical glitches prevented its widespread use. By the time the bugs had been worked out of the system, the Clone Wars had ended, and production of these devices was halted.

Denta Bean
This was a major foodstuff of the Old Republic. Denta beans had a distinctive flavor that worked well with a wide variety of other ingredients, making it useful for all sorts of dishes. Cured denta beans were often simmered in milk to extract their natural flavors, and the flavored milk was then used to make ice cream.

Dentaal
This planet was the site of a raid by Crix Madine, when he was still a member of the Empire. The Imperial Governor, Taliff, had been deposed by the Dentaal Independence Party, which had declared the planet a free world. Madine was told to make the rebellious world cooperate, and to do so he planted the seeds of a Candorian plague there. Madine followed his orders, but he never felt good about doing it. During a series of military maneuvers on the planet, Madine simply disappeared from the Imperial armed forces. The Empire later blamed the plague, which killed nearly every living being on the planet, on the Alliance. The Alliance, however, discovered that the plague was similar to a plague that was unleashed on Sedesia.
(DS, SWJ5)
Dentaal Independence Party
Led by Hancc Rellow, the DIP was formed when the Empire took control of the planet Dentaal. The Empire had originally installed Governor Taliff to rule the planet. Taliff then disbanded the ruling House of Dentaal, allowing the Empire to be in full control of the planet's politics. The surviving members of the house met in secret and formed the DIP, which eventually ousted Taliff in a bloody coup and reclaimed Dentaal for themselves. This action resulted in the Empire's own form of retaliation, in which Crix Madine and a team of commandos unleashed the Candorian plague on the planet.

Dentaalian Army
This was the primary ground-based military force that was maintained by the natives of the planet Dentaal. Both the Dentaalian Army and Navy were placed under the control of Imperial Governor Taliff when the Empire took control of the planet, during the height of the New Order. When the Dentaal Independence Party staged its revolution and exiled Governor Taliff, both forces sided with the new government, and swiftly moved to disable the Imperial garrisons that had been established on the planet.

He was one of the many students who participated in the Apprentice Tournament, and was known for the way he mixed lightsaber combat with other types of martial arts. Sisseri made it to the third round of the tournament, but was defeated by Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy. Scout, as she preferred to be called, distracted Sisseri's initial lightsaber attack by throwing a cup of muja juice in his face, then launching into him with a melee attack. They rolled across the floor for several minutes before Scout managed to get Sisseri in a choke-hold, then pinned his arm with a painful nerve pinch. Writhing in pain, Sisseri was forced to yield.

De-Orbiting Kinetic Anti-emplacement Weapon
This crude form of projectile weapon was used on many backwater worlds during the height of the Clone Wars. Known as DOKAW, this projectile was simply a solid, 200-kilogram cylinder of durasteel, about the size of a missile. To these cylinders, rudimentary propulsion and guidance systems were attached to allow for more specific placement of the missile. Launched from orbital platforms, a DOKAW was used to bombard ground-based weapons emplacements or bunkers. While not as sophisticated or accurate as other guided missiles, a DOKAW was nevertheless cheaper and just as devastating to the enemy. This made them a favorite weapon of backwater tyrants and military forces who wanted to quickly eliminate the opposition's positions.

This Jeodu, who maintained a base of operation on the planet Qiaxx, tried to revive the Black Sun organization after the death of Prince Xizor at Coruscant. Emperor Palpatine sent Mara Jade to eliminate himon Svivren, where he had been trying to gather the support of other crimelords in the development of Black Nebula. In the Basic tongue, the word 'Dequc' means "whitehead." Dequc had many of his lieutenants impersonate him, hoping to drive off assassins. After using Captain Strok's troops as a diversion, Mara quickly infiltrated Dequc's offices in Wrils and beheaded one of his stand-ins. However, she found out that she had not executed Dequc, and was forced to rework her plans. It was during this time that Emperor Palpatine was killed over Endor, and Mara was imprisoned by Ysanne Isard. She infiltrated Dequc's palace on Qiaxx, and used a bust of Prince Xizor to care out her plans. Mara Jade hid an remote control device inside it, along with her ligthsaber, in hopes of entering Dequc's private chambers in order to execute the crimelord. She claimed that Xizor had hidden a treasure map inside it, and when Dequc opened it, she activated the remote control. The device ignited the lightsaber, piercing Dequc's head and killing him instantly.

This clone trooper served aboard the Republic warship Leveler as the principle warfare officer, serving under Captain Gilad Pellaeon during the early stages of the Clone Wars. When the Leveler was diverted from its work-up cruise to extract an Intelligence agent on JanFathal, the ship was discovered by Separatist forces. The Separatists dispatched the Discord to investigate, and Lieutenant Derel began plotting the situation, in case the Leveler had to make a run for it. However, Captain Gilad Pellaeon had already decided to prevent the Separatists from taking the ship, and would have fired on the Discord with or without Derel's recommendation, if they had not discovered that the Separatist ship was actually the Reaper. This forced Pellaeon to jump out of the system in order to avoid being captured, but they returned as soon as possible to re-engage the Separatists, and Derel was given the order to engage targets at will. The ship's concussion missiles weren't yet online, so Derel was forced to use manually-targetted turbolasers to protect the ship, until Callista Masana decided to try and use her connection to the Force to bring the missiles to bear on Separatist targets. Derel accompanied her to the missile room, in order to describe the inner workings of the missile systems, so that Callista could understand how to manipulate the systems through the Force.

Derelict Planet Reclamation Act
This law was enacted by the Galactic Alliance, in the wake of the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong, some thirty years after the Battle of Endor. The DPRA basically stated that any being who could pilot a starship was free to seek out planets that had once been inhabitable, but had been damaged by Yuuzhan Vong terraforming. These planets had been deemed unusable, but over time it became obvious that life would slowly return to normal if left alone. Thus, these planets were able to be resettled within five years of the Galactic Alliance's victory. The Reconstruction Authority was then charged with overseeing the claims made by these new explorers, and ensuring that proper credit was given to the discovery of new worlds. Many feared that the Authority was being funded by wealthy corporations like RePlanetHab, in order to gain certain preferential treatment when it came to claiming rights, since corporate raiders always seemed to simply track independent explorers before jumping their claims.

This was one of the largest pre-deluge cities ever established on the planet Kamino. Derem City was once the capital of Kamino, until it was buried under three kilometers of water. However, this depth meant that Derem City was also the most accessible of the ruins that made up the former Kaminoan civilization, and modern Kaminoans often made pilgrimages to the ruins to contemplate their existence. The city itself was well-conceived and laid-out, with glorious sunspires dotting the perimeter. These sunspires eventually formed the anchors for the Razoral Reefs. Exploration of the Derem City ruins uncovered a vast library that appeared to have been maintained by a group of Jedi Knights, as it contained a sea-crystal holocron that was later discovered to have been created by Qalsneek the Bull.

This old Phindian woman was a member of the Syndicat which controlled the planet Phindar during the Old Republic. She was also an agent of the local resistance movement that rose up against the Syndicat's control of the planet, and assisted Guerra and Paxxi Derida in their plan to infiltrate the Syndicat's stronghold and recover food, supplies, and valuables. The two brothers were able to enter the palace with the help of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Duenna was extremely loyal to the brothers and their cause, even in the face of renewal threats from Terra. Guerra and Paxxi later revealed to the Jedi that Duenna was their mother, and that Terra was their sister. Duenna had joined the Syndicat in order to try and restore Terra's original memories, but was unable to do so. This put her in considerable risk, but she endured it as long as there was hope for her children.

Derida, Guerra
This Phindian was one of the multitude of slave laborers employed by Offworld Mining Company to work on the planet Bandomeer. Guerra was part of the crew that plied the depths of the Great Sea of Bandomeer, when Obi-Wan Kenobi was similarly enslaved. Guerra had an annoying habit of making a statement and then immediately negating it with a chuckle, a trait which Obi-Wan used to befriend the alien. After Qui-Gon Jinn rescued Obi-Wan from the mines, Guerra overcame his fears and led the slave miners in a mutiny that succeeded in overthrowing Offworld's control and freeing the slaves. Obi-Wan later encountered Guerra again, this time on Guerra's homeworld of Phindar, after he and Qui-Gon Jinn were transported to the planet by Guerra's own brother, Paxxi Derida. Guerra had been hiding in the ship's hold during the trip, since both of the Phindians were wanted by the Syndicat that controlled Phindar. Guerra and Paxxi led a small group of freedom fighters who hoped to overthrown the Syndicat, but they needed the Jedis' help and were afraid to ask. After learning of the Syndicat's plans to take over Gala was well as Phindar, Qui-Gon agreed to help, but only if Guerra told him the complete truth at all times. Guerra agreed, and the Syndicat was eventually brought down. Years later, Paxxi and Guerra became the heads of their respective families, both of which were known for their large size.

Derida, Paxxi
This was the name of the Phindian pilot who was to transport Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi from Bandomeer to Gala, where they would mediate a general election. The Phindian was quite rude, and it was possible that he only gave the name "Pilot" to insult them. Instead of transporting them to gala, however, Pilot faked a fuel leak and brought them out of hyperspace near Phindar. After a false battle with a pair of starfighters, Pilot landed the ship in Laressa and hoped that assassin droids would kill off the Jedi. Pilot fled into the city. He found the Jedi again and led to a small cafe' where he introduced them to his brother, Guerra Derida. There, Paxxi revealed that they had to fake the fuel leak in order to get past the blockade set up by the Syndicat, from whom he and his brother were fugitives. The brothers were part of a small group of freedom fighters who were working to overthrown the Syndicat, but they needed the Jedis' help and were afraid to ask. After gaining Qui-Gon's confidence, they were able to break into the Syndicat's stronghold and expose the vast stores of food and supplies being held there. Paxxi was injured in the battle which ensued, but survived. When their plans came to fruition and they were able to bring down the Syndicat, Paxxi built a monument in the center of Laressa from the assassin droids of the Syndicat. He claimed that the Phindians had to face their evil in order to conquer it. Years later, Paxxi and Guerra became the heads of their respective families, both of which were known for their large size.

This Phindian woman was Baftu's assistant. She was in charge of securing the Syndicat's stronghold in the city of Laressa. She also was suspicious of Duenna's loyalties, but kept the Phindian woman in check with continued threats of renewal. It was later revealed that Terra was the sister of Guerra and Paxxi Derida. She had been "renewed" by the Syndicat at the age of eleven, and retrained by Baftu himself to be a member of the Syndicat. Her mother, Duenna, joined the Syndicat in hopes of returning her original memories to her, but Terra was not strong enough. Terra opposed Baftu's proposed alliance with Prince Beju of Gala, fearing that the Prince was getting more than the Syndicat, and that Baftu was spreading his power too thin. Baftu ignored her, even when she recognized that the Prince Beju who arrived on Phindar was really Obi-Wan Kenobi in disguise. When Baftu discovered that the Syndicat treasury was gone - having been recovered by Qui-Gon Jinn and the Derida brothers and returned to the Phindians - he accused Terra of stealing and covering the theft up by blaming Beju. Baftu had her executed on the spot. When her body was discovered later by Guerra and Paxxi, she died in their arms with a flood of memories about them.

Dering served as the official timekeeper for many events held as part of the Galactic Games on Euceron, much to the amazement of many sporting officials. However, just as the Games were to begin, Dering was implicated in the fixing of several events, and he was pursued by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. The Jedi were on Euceron to keep the peace, but stumbled onto the criminal betting rings that were forming around the Games. Before they could question Dering, though, he escaped from his apartment and fled into the street. Unfortunately, he was struck by a passing speeder truck and killed instantly. When the Jedi reached his body, they discovered that he had been carrying a false identification card, planning to adopt the alias of Ak Duranc. They also discovered that Dering had been assigned to time the illegal podracing which was happening in the Great Dordon Caves.

Derlin, Bren
A native of Tiisheran and a major in the Alliance at the time of the Battle of Hoth, Derlin was in command of the security and operations of Echo Base. Bren was the son of Galen Derlin, and became convinced that the Empire was evil after the murder of his father. He immediately joined the Alliance, in order to bring justice back to the galaxy. He took on whatever roles needed to be filled, often working for or with Carlist Roeekan. Because of his heroic actions in evacuating the Alliance's base on Nentan, Derlin was promoted to Captain by Rieekan himself. Derlin then served under Major Monnon on the Corps of Engineers before being promoted and assigned to Echo Base. It was Derlin who ordered the base secured, even though Luke Skywalker and Han Solo were still missing out in the snow-covered wastes. Derlin served as Han Solo's second-in-command during the assault on the second Death Star's shield generator on the Forest Moon of Endor. He remained with the armed forces after the Battle of Endor, and was eventually promoted to Colonel before serving on Coruscant when Thrawn attacked the planet. He earned the rank of Brigadier in the New Republic Defense Fleet before retiring. He later became the commander of the Alliance Veterans Victory Association, and maintained a position of trust and power within the New Republic.

Derlin, Galen
This man was one of the most famous senators of the Old Republic, and a close friend of Bail Organa. He withdrew from politics altogether when Emperor Palpatine rose to power, returning to his homeworld of Tiisheraan in order to get away from the corruption of the Empire. However, he ws hunted down and assassinated by Imperial forces as a reminder of the power of the Empire.
(TTSB)
Derlynn, Lorwin
This man served as an officer in the Thaereian Military, during the final years of the Old Republic. Derlynn was among the many Thaereians who were stationed in the Cularin System, after the Galactic Senate appointed the Thaereian Military as the protectors of the Cularin System. Derlynn and a squad of soldiers were dispatched to a Cularin Militia base on an asteroid in the system, as part of an elaborate scheme to ambush and eliminate any smugglers or spacers who tried to deliver arms and supplies to the military. Ostensibly, the Thaereians had blockaded the Cularin System to protect its inhabitants from Separatist attack. In reality, the Thaereians were up to much more. Derlynn, however, was not as cutthroat as many of his peers, and always carried his blaster set to stun, rather than kill. Thus, when a group of freelance operatives who were working for Nirama arrived at the base with a load of arms, Derlynn chose to ask questions first and shoot later. The operatives then explained their point of view on the situation, giving Derlynn reason to question the motives of his superiors. The proof they offered was more than enough to convince Derlynn that Thaere no longer deserved his loyalty, and Lerwynn allowed them to continue on their mission. Upon returing to Thaere, Derlynn resigned his commission.

Dermatoglyphic Identification
This form of indentifying individuals was developed by Jaso Corporation, and was often regarded as the finest physical identification system in the galaxy. Although not as precise as retinal scanning, it uses a database which was much more readily available to other systems. Dermatoglyphic identification took a skin sample from the subject's thumb or fingers, and a number of tests and analyses were performed on the sample. Cytoplasmic biopsies and chitinous accretion analysis were the most useful tests for those species which do not have dermatoglyphic patterns. This form of identification cannot distinguish between clones or other beings with identical genetic material, and scar tissue or artificial skin grafts produce no results at all. One species which was abused by dermatoglyphic identification was the Wookiee race, because their hands and feet were often scarred during attempts to escape capture by Imperial slavers. Thus, the Imperials took skin samples from the sensitive skin on the Wookiees' nose.

Derral
This arrogant councilman was one of many leaders of the planet Ahakista, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Derral spent several days each cycle mingling with the populace, but was loathe to actually identify with those he ruled. Instead, he often ignored their pleas and walked past them, claiming that he was only doing them a favor by teaching them to become more self-reliant. In the end, however, Councilman Derral's arrogance cost him his life, as he was the target of a assassination attempt. The rebel underground leader, Dunlan, fired a massive laser blast into Derral's speeder, which exploded in a huge fireball, killing Derral and his aides.

Derricote, Evir
A native of Kalla, Evir was an Imperial officer who found himself on the short end of many opportunities. He was one of the original members of the 181st Imperial Fighter Wing, and was in command of the ships when Soontir Fel was relegated to the 181st. As a Colonel, Derricote was simply a figurehead after Fel's arrival, for Fel's military genius quickly overshadowed Derricote's. This served Derricote just fine, as he would have rather spent more time with his mycosia flowers than in a cockpit. However, after decisive victories at Ord Biniir and Derra IV, Derricote was prompoted to General and Fel was promoted to Colonel and took his place. It was Derricote who discovered the forgotten Alderaan Biotics facility on Borelais. He maneuvered his way into an assignment in the Pyria System, following the ambush of an Alliance supply convoy at Derra IV, and was eventually stationed on Borleias. He was a large, overweight man. He used a series of false requisitions and orders to funnel funding and security from the remnants of the Empire to fund his secret operation at the nearly-forgotten Alderaan Biotics hydroponics plant. He then supplied many black-market reellers with a continual flow of Alderaanian delicacies, and made almost three millions credits before being discovered by Kirtan Loor. Derricote also used similar tactics and bookkeeping maneuvers to strengthen the defenses around Borleias. He later was assigned by Ysanne Isard to develop the Krytos virus, using the aliens found in the Invisible Sector of Coruscant. It was later learned that he was using Diric Wessiri as an enslaved assistant, allowing Derricote to remain out of the actual contamination area. Once the Krytos virus was unleashed into the water system of Imperial City, Isard had Derricote imprisoned in the Lusankya facility. She feared that he might expose her if he was captured. He was killed in a scuffle with Corran Horn, who was also imprisoned at Lusankya. Horn was trying to escape, and was followed by Derricote. The prisoner Jan had seen Derricote slip away, and arrived as Derricote attacked Horn. Jan managed to deflect Derricote's initial attack, giving Horn time to smash Derricote's skull with a shovel. It was later discovered that Derricote had a hidden storehouse of viruses aimed at various species throughout the galaxy, including the human race.

Thus, they were able to survive the detonation of the thought bomb. Derrin and his fellow mercenaries emerged from the fighting and tried to figure out what to do next, when Darth Bane appeared at their camp. The Sith Lord attacked them without warning, slicing Derrin and Pad to pieces and beheading Rell with his lightsaber. Two other mercenaries, Lergan and Hansh, were killed by Darth Bane's Force lightning. The surviving mercenaries were allowed to escape, in order to carry the message of Darth Bane's survival.

Derriphan
These nightmarish creatures were born of the Dark Side of the Force, and were named for the Sith word meaning "devourer."

In order to feed, however, a Derriphan had to enter the body of its victim, take control of the victim's mind, the drain off the essense of the victim. These creatures were believed to have been extinct, having died out after the Great Sith War. However, a few Derriphan managed to survive the battle, and existed during the Galactic Civil War. Those who claimed to have actually seen a Derriphan said that the creatures resembled miniature black stars, roiling with energy.

Desann
This Chistori was one of the few members of his species to travel throughout the galaxy during the early years of the New Republic. Being sensitive to the Force, Desann trained for a brief period at Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 before succumbing to the Dark Side of the Force. After killing Havet Storm, Desann left the new Jedi order and set out on his own, hoping to forsake Master Skywalker's "weaklings" and create an army of stronger Dark Jedi. This army became known as the Reborn, and were first encountered by Kyle Katarn on Cloud City, shortly after the Battle of Endor. In order to solidify his position, Desann allied himself with Imperial Admiral Galak Fyyar, and was instrumental in helping Fyyar perfect his unusual technology for twisting beings to the Dark Side of the Force. Desann was nearly captured on the Cairn asteroid, when Katarn and Skywalker confronted him. Desann, however, fought Skywalker to a stalemate and managed to escape. He then led the attack on the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, despite the loss of the Admiral Fyyar and the Doomgiver. Deep in the temples, Desann was forced to confront Katarn. The Jedi Knight used a combination of speed and tactics to defeat and kill Desann in battle.

DeSelvaine, Trem
This Karflo Corporation scientist performed a series of experiments on a Polydroxol, hoping to discover if the creature was intelligent. He worked for Administrator Renerdat, although he thought the Administrator a fool for trying to wipe out the Polydroxol just to obtain profits from mining Sevetta. DeSelvaine's work was possibly the first real examination of the Polydroxol, and his work with a Polydroxol individual produced a great deal of information on their biochemistry, morphing abilities, and intelligence. Unfortunately, the Polydroxol individual - which he had nicknamed Polly - learned of Administrator Renerdat's plans to kill it and all members of its race on Sevetta. Polly escaped, and killed all personnel aboard the Karflo research station. Despite his empathy for Polly, the Polydroxol associated DeSelvaine with the others and killed him as well.

Desert Island in Space
This was a term used by many scholars and xenobiologists to describe the Forest Moon of Endor. The name stemmed from the fact that many of the sentient species found on the moon did not evolve there naturally. Instead, ancient records point to a series of starships that experienced problems in the remote Moddell Sector of the galxay, and put down on the moon in order to attempt repairs. This fact also earned the world the nickname of Shipwreck Moon. Because the Forest Moon of Endor was so remote, many of these stranded travelers were forced to eke out an existence without any outside assistance. Over time, these travelers evolved to fill various niches in the moon's ecosystem.

The office was usually filled with old-timers who had been on Tatooine their entire lives, and who enjoyed placing false "hidden treasure" locations on the maps in order to fool tourists. True scouts and explorers almost never entered the office, knowing full well that nothing of any real value was to be found in the desert.

The first revolts that spawned the Desert Wind fighters became known as the Uprisings. Just after the Battle of Geonosis, it was believed that Desert Wind was crushed in a series of paramilitary actions funded by the Five Families, but small groups remained hidden in the mountains. These groups united under the leadership of Thak Val Zsing, who continued to order raids on corporate caravans.

Baylan had been using his slicing abilities to distribute corporate credits into the accounts of average beings, and realized that they were too scared to do anything with the credits. However, this realization didn't stop Baylan from continuing to alter corporate bank accounts.

Des'mar
This was one of the two primary factions of the Saurton race. The word "Des'mar" literally meant "forward-thinking". They considered themselves to be forward-looking visionaries who welcomed the prosperity brought to Essowyn by the mining operations which worked in the asteroid belts. They were in the minority in terms of numbers, but far exceeded the Quenno in wealth and power.

Desnand, Feebee
This plump woman was Io Desnand's wife. Feebee wore false eyelashes that were so large they resembled black-veined butterfly wings. She favored full-length, animal-skin jackets. When Io had the Trandoshan bounty hunter Bossk in captivity on Aida, she asked him to skin the beast to obtain a lizard-skin gown.

Desnand, Io
This Imperial Governor was in control of the Aida and Lomabu Systems during the Galactic Civil War. He maintained a penal colony on Lomabu III, where he held several hundred Wookiees. He had planned to use the Wookiees as bait in a trap to capture a major portion of the Alliance fleet. However, Tinian I'att and Chenlambec had lured Bossk to Lomabu III at the same time, hoping to trap him by claiming the Trandoshan was there to poach Wookiee pelts. Desnand's plans were foiled when Tinian and Chen trapped Bossk before he could launch his own plans. Desnand almost skinned the Trandoshan alive before Bossk managed to escape.
(TBH, HM)
Desolate
The biologically-engineered starship used by Ber'asco and the Charon death cult to remove the "disease" of life from the realm of Otherspace. Like a massive organic castle in space, the Desolate was an amorphous mass of strange, weblike constructs measuring over 450 meters at its longest point. It acts like a magnet to any ships traveling in Otherspace, drawing them to it and collecting them in a weird belt which surrounds the ship. Those ships which contained information on new species of life were physically attached to the Desolate so that Ber'asco could obtain information necesssary to destroy them. The weapons systems of the ship were hidden in rocky pods which open to allow the firing of projectile weapons. The Desolate was a strangely dead ship, in keeping with the Charon beliefs surrounding the Void. Consequently, the Desolate seemed to be a black hole which consumed the Force. There were four main decks surrounding the central core, with a series of hollow tubes connecting adjacent levels. A docking bay of sorts was separated from the vacuum of space by a penetratable membrane which seals itself as ships pass through it. The main bridge was the site of a large, brain-like computer node. Ber'asco used this node to communicate with other lifeforms. The lowest part of the ship seemed to be a manufacturing facility for the Charon red mist. After the Charon were first defeated by Alliance agents while in Otherspace, Ber'asco had his bioscientists create a hyperdrive for the Desolate, so that it could jump into realspace and attack the galaxy beyond. However, when Grand Moff Ravik's mind took control of Ber'asco's body, and Ber'asco's mind took control of Bane Nothos' body, the battle between the two caused a small amount of damage to the ship's control systems. Rather than emerging over the planet Stronghold, the Desolate smashed into the world, sustaining huge amounts of damage as it skidded over the rocky surface. The ship was abandoned on Stronghold, after Alliance soldiers overcame the Charon and defeated Ravik.

Desolation
This was the only area of the planet Caarimon where buildings actually touched the ground, although it was abandoned many centuries before the onset of the Clone Wars. Located near a major fault line in the northern hemisphere of the planet, Desolation was once a city like any other found in the galaxy. It was also the last traditionally-built city on the planet. Over several generations, the buildings and residences had a detrimental effect on the surrounding environment, leaching chemicals into the soil and killing off the native plantlife for acres around. When the Caarites realized what was happening, they decided to construct their future cities as floating structures, in an effort to preserve their planet's natural environment. The buildings of Desolation were abandoned, and the poisons that had leached into the soil kept the former city a barren wasteland. The city was left to stand as a reminder of the damage that could be caused to Caarimon, should the Caarites ever become so careless again. During the final decades of the Old Republic, the Metatheran Cartel established a research facility in orbit above Desolation, in an effort to minimize any trouble should a disaster occur.

Desolator
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer was assigned to Admiral Grendeef and the Miser base during the height of the New Order. It was staged from the planet Kirtarkin, and about frive years before the Battle of Yavin, the Desolator was dispatched to Yag'Dhul on a mission to eliminate a space station that was being built without Imperial approval. Gamblers and bettors across the galaxy learned of the attack on Yag'Dhul, and beings of all walks of life wagered their credits on the outcome of the looming battle. While the Desolator's gunners made swift work of the space station, her communications crew discovered the remote that was being used by the gamblers to keep track of the battle. Believing it to be a spy satellite, the ship's commander ordered the gunners to destroy the remote before returning to the battle. Years, later, the Desolator was destroyed when Alliance agents, trying to recover the Isis cordinates from the crew of the Wanderer, reprogrammed the Star Destroyer's navigational comupter. The Desolator made a sudden jump to hyperspace, and re-emerged at the center of the rogue star G-138. All hands were lost, including Admiral Grendeef. Note that Millennium Falcon also refers to this ship as a Dreadnaught.

Despayre
The primary planet in the Horuz system, Despayre was the site of a penal colony that was established by the Empire, during the early days of the New Order. The planet's single continent was covered in thick jungles that were fed by wide rivers and shallow seas, and was surrounded by an immense ocean. In places, the jungle canopy was all but impenetrable. An abundance of lifeforms inhabited the jungles, and many of the plants and animals found on Despayre were predacious or dangerous. Many beings likened Despayre's environment to a place of all-out biological warfare. The weather on the planet was often violent, with strong storms and extremes of temperature that were caused by the planet's erratic orbit.
Despayre was considered one of the most secure facilities in the Empire, and was capable of controlling the worst criminals the galaxy had to offer. Captives in the penal colony were held in check with the threat of leaving them outside the colony's walls to fend for themselves. It was here that the Empire found a willing, if unruly, source of labor for the construction of the first Death Star.
The huge battle station was erected in orbit, without regards to the prisoners or the planet. The prisoners didn't realize it at the time, but the huge amount of scrap and debris that was created and left in orbit effectively sealed the planet off from outside contact, since no sane pilot would fly his ship through the chaf. When the prisoners became too unruly to effectively work on the Death Star, Tarkin went to Kashyyyk and captured some Wookiees to use as slaves.
Once the battle station was complete, Tarkin ordered the new superlaser tested immediately. Although the superlaser had been fired at the freighter Fortressa to test its targetting systems, that test utilized only about four percent of the weapon's total power capacity. The Empire's first successful, gigh-powered use of the weapon came when Tarkin fired on Despayre itself. The blast was believed to have been at thirty-three percent power, and plunged into the planet's core, immolating the atmopshere as it hit the planet. Intense earthquakes began ripping the interior of the planet apart, setting off tidal waves and volcanic eruptions. Volcanic ash mixed with superheated water vapor, killing all of the native life as well as the slave labor. A second superlaser blast continued the destruction, cracking the planet to its mantle and venting the molten core to space. A third blast tore Despayre apart, smashing the fragile orb into a collection of rubble and cinders. Note that the Rebellion Era Sourcebook claims this planet was called Horuz.

Desrini District
This was one of the northernmost sections of Galactic City, located on the planet Coruscant, during the last years of the Old Republic. Shortly before the Clone Wars, one of the garbage-launching machines that propelled refuse into orbit misfired, sending industrial waste and shrapnel into the civilian area of the district, killing 48 and injuring more than 200 other beings. It was later discovered that a group of families were illegally tapping into the power supply for the launcher. The homemade power taps disabled the launcher's obstruction sensors, allowing it to fire even though the path was blocked. The Desrini District was closed off for many weeks, as the clean-up of industrial waste left the area unlivable. In the wake of this disaster, the Desrini District was set upon by a swarm of dianogas. More than twenty-five homeless beings were reportedly eaten by the scavengers before the problem was brought to the attention of the authorities.

Des'sain
This humanoid being was one of the Senators who greeted Reeze Duurmun and Tobb Jadak when they arrived on Coruscant, during the First Battle of Coruscant. Senator Des'sain represented a remote planet in the fringes of known space, and was one of many Senators who felt that the Galactic Republic was becoming too Core-centric. He eventually joined the Republic Group, helping to identify traitors in the Senate. Des'sain and Senator Largetto, accompanied by Jedi Master J'oopi She', accepted the cargo that Duurmun and Tobb had carried through the Separatist blockade aboard the Stellar Envoy. The cargo was little more than a small case, but Largetto explained that it was extremely important to the Senators' cause. After the Stellar Envoy was destroyed before reaching Toprawa, Senator Des'sain established a new friendship with Lestra Oxic, who provided the Senator with legal representation during the upheaval that followed the Clone Wars. Oxic assisted with creating Des'sain's will, and was present when the Senator passed away. It was Des'sain who, on his death bed, told Oxic the story of the Stellar Envoy, explaining that the ship was key to a treasure that was sufficient to restore the Republic.

Dessel
This man worked as a cortosis miner on Apatros, working for the Outer Rim Oreworks company during the years leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. Despite his ten years of service, Des was considered little more than a kid by his fellow miners, many of whom had been working on Apartos for decades. Des had followed in the footsteps of his father, Hurst, joining the company at thirteen. He had taken abuse from other miners throughout his career, but Hurst's abuse was often the worst. It was Hurst who called him by the nickname Bane, indicating that Des had become the bane of his existence. Hurst went so far as to blame Des for the death of his mother, and intimated that Des had ruined his life. When Hurst died, many other miners blamed Des, and continually tried to muscle in on his claims. Des spent the next five years earning his position in the mines, until Gerd tried to kill him. Des drew on a reserve of strength he never knew he had, a strength that seemed to be borne of his anger. He managed to bite off one of Gerd's thumbs, leaving the older man a sobbing wretch and earning Des a unpaid leave of absence until Gerd healed. In this downtime, Des met up with a group of Old Republic military officers at a bar, and won a large sum of credits from them playing sabacc. The officers decided to ambush Des later on, hoping to recover their credits. In the scuffle that ensued, however, Des killed one of the officers. Rather than serve time in prison, he chose to flee Apatros to join the growing Sith army of the Brotherhood of Darkness. He was a quick learner, and made Sergeant in less then three years. His ability to lead his men into combat and complete objectives that were considered risky at best earned Des the attention of his Sith masters, earning him the rank of Sergeant in just under three years. When he disobeyed a direct order during a mission to Phaseera, however, Dessel figured that his career was over, despite the fact that his actions ensured the Brotherhood of a victory. While being held for his court-martial, Dessel was interrogated by Sith Lord Kopecz, who discovered that he had a strong connection to the Dark Side of the Force. Dessel was taken to Korriban for training, where he quickly discovered that he could touch the Dark Side of the Force. Within three days of training, Des took the name Bane as his Sith name, to which he later added the ancient title of Darth.

Other Imperial agencies, and many members of the Alliance, believed that Destab agents went well beyond this description, and likened their activities more to shredding that unraveling. Among the Imperial Intelligence community, Destab was known as the "quiet branch," because their operations were carried out without a lot of fanfare or recognition. They simply did their jobs and went onto the next mission.

This was the name used by Governor Kugg, of the planet Dodz, to describe his huge assassin droid. The Destroyer had been modified to serve as Kugg's right-hand man, and was used primarily to force the citizens of Dodz to by the heavy taxes demanded by Governor Kugg. The Destroyer was built to intimidate and destroy, but it proved no match for R2-D2 and the Ranger X-1 defense droid owned by Jost Ellon. In a titanic battle, R2-D2 was able to draw power away from the Destroyer and channel it into the X-1. This caused a chain reaction within the Destroyer's circuits, resulting in an explosion that destroyed the Destroyer.

(SWG2P)
Destroyer Droid
These large, mobile weapons platforms were created by the Colicoid Creation Nest for the Trade Federation, as part of the Federation's plan to augment their legions of battle droids. Known to the Colicoids as droidekas, destroyer droids were built with a body that could curl in upon itself, in what was known as Wheel Form, and roll into battle. Once deployed, the destroyer droid would unfold itself, steadying its massive form on three stout legs in what was known as the Combat Stance. Its arms were studded with laser cannons and projectile launchers, and its head was filled with sensitive sensors and detectors used to local its targets. Models developed before the Battle of Naboo included small shield generators, and a series in development had independent, programmable computer brains that freed them from the necessity of a Droid Control Ship. The form of the destroyer droid mirrored the body of a Colicoid, including the ability to roll up into a ball and surprise their targets. The main drawback of the droidekas was, ironically, their incredible shielding. Although precisely calibrated to form a sphere when the droideka was standing upright, the shields had a tendency to interpret a floor or wall as a weapon if the droideka were to tip over. Thus, an upended droideka could experience a catastrophic shield overload if it were knocked off its feet, as the shield systems continued to ramp up power to combat the perceived threat of the wall or floor. Eventually, the droideka exploded. The first droidekas that were produced for the Trade Federation were known as P-series Destroyer Droids, and were unable to operate independently. This lack of independence was specially-requested by Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray, who feared that a standard droideka would rebel against its master. This required that their actions had to be coordinated by a Central Control Computer. The P-series units were also re-armed to be less deadly than the standard droideka. The second-generation units, known as the Q-series Destroyer Droid, was given a minimum of independence. In the wake of the Clone Wars, most droidekas still used the Separatists were shut down and destroyed. Those units that survived the war were eventually sold off to private security companies in the Corporate Sector.

It was believed that the one and only version of the destructor beam was installed aboard the Courteous, and was fired just once during the blockade of the ThonBoka. However, the destruction of the Courteous by the Oswaft meant that the prototype and all data about it were destroyed. This meant that the further development of the destructor beam was scrapped.

Destructors, The
According to Keshiri legends, the Destructors were celestial beings who periodically descended from the heavens to wipe out the civilization of an inhabited world, in order to reduce all beings to a primitive state. These same legends told of The Protectors, a group of beings who would defend the Keshiri from the predations of the Destructors, ensuring that their civilization would continue. Investigations by the descendants of the human Sith that crash-landed on Kesh some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin revealed that Kesh had experienced widespread destruction at least once in its history, lending some credibility to the myths. The human Sith chose not to dissuade the Keshiri in their belief that the Sith were the Protectors, since it helped them obtain control over the Keshiri. Over time, the Sith realized that it had been their destiny to protect the Keshiri, which, in turn, contributed to their ability to restore the Sith to power as part of their Return to the galaxy.

This branch of the Corporate Sector Authority was originally established as a public relations division, charged with improving the public's perception of the CSA. Many beings questioned the civic justification of the CSA, given its record of taking control of planets that already had established civilizations. A secondary reason for the creation of the Detached Duty Office was to investigate and eliminate corruption within the other departments of the CSA. The DDO was supervised by the Prex and answered to the Direx Board, but had the ability to investigate the Prex and any board members it believed were acting improperly.

They proposed the Stars' End project, and were involved in the initial design. The conclusion of the taskforce was that criminals could be stored in stasis booths, maintained in suspended animation until their sentences were up. This cut down on most operational costs, such as food, clothing, and accommodations, while ensuring the safety of the prisoners.

The females, on the other hand, were covered in calico fur and lacked horns.
The Devaronians were aggressive by nature, and tended to dominate their local culture. It was believed that they were descended from a race of primates that lived in the mountains of their homeworld, Devaron, and that the horns of the males were a genetic mutation that proved useful in fending off predatory brids. Male Devaronians also had sharp incisors, in contrast to the blunt molars of the females, allowing them to hunt and kill with swift efficency. A subspecies of Devaronians, known as the Devish, were born with a second set of incisors inside the first row of teeth.
Devaronians were carnivorous by nature and, in general, have an efficient metabolism, consuming nearly every bit of food they eat. The unusual blood of the Devaronians was silver-based, giving it a blackish color not unlike tarnish when exposed to oxygen. In order to filter this unusual blood, Devaronians had two livers. This combination of traits meant that the average Devaronian did not need to go to the toilet as often as other races. Their internal chemistry was also effective at neutralizing a wide range of toxic and poisonous chemicals.
Devaronians were one of the first races to discover the secrets to space travel and develop stardrives, and their colonization of several planets allowed them to become self-sufficent, as natural resources and foodstuffs could be transported from world to world. Their ability to ply the spacelanes gave them early contact with the Old Republic, giving them access to the rest of the galactic community. However, the Devaronian method of capital punishment - literally feeding criminals to packs of quarra - was frowned upon by the Galactic Senate, and their petition to formally join the Republic was rejected.

This weapon was developed during the last years of the Galactic Civil War by the Empire. Rolf Treidum and his fleet of ships patrolling the Kathol Outback used one of these weapons on the planet Danoor, after Waric Nane failed to keep the FarStar and her crew on the planet. The torpedo was launched at the planet, and created a blast radius of about 5 kilometers. Everything within the blast was obliterated. The only drawback to the use of the devastator torpedo was that its launching system took several minutes to recharge between shots.

Devis, Hallena
This black-skinned woman was one of the many undercover Intelligence officers employed by the Galactic Republic, during the era of the Clone Wars. She was a fifteen-year veteran of the Intelligence agency, and although she was very good at her job, Agent Devis had begun to consider quitting and trying to create a more normal life for herself. Unknown to even her closest comrades, Hallena was having an affair with Captain Gilad Pellaeon of the Republic's navy. Their relationship was quite unusual, given their respective careers, but they both knew that their love for each other was strong enough to survive. This belief was put to the test after Hallena was dispatched to infiltrate the rebels on JanFathal. During her first minutes in the planetary capital of Athar, Agent Devis was unaware that her contact was following her, and she ended up spitting on him in the Athari tradition. She quickly recovered her bearings, however, and took on the guise of Orla Taman, a union leader from Nuth who had been imprisoned by the Regent for standing up for the union. This alias got her into the rebel group that was led by Merish Hath and Shil Kaval, but she was unprepared for the speed with which the rebels launched their revolution. The Workers' Uprising had been planned for a while, and began just days after her arrival in Athar. Unable to relay news or information to her controller, Agent Devis simply went along with the rebels, hoping to gather intelligence that might help any Republic forces that arrived on JanFathal. Unfortunately, she was hit by a baton round during the early stages of the rebellion, and the injury affected her ability to think straight. She forgot to silence her comlink, which she had let open to record any conversations around her, and the signal from an incoming call alerted Shil and Varti that something was wrong. Forced to give herself up, Agent Devis revealed the she was working for the Republic, prompting the rebels to keep her alive as a bargaining chip. She then turned over the comlink to Varti, but not before sending off an emergency signal to the Republic. In the hours that followed, Hallena realized that her captors were just as scared as she was, about the future and about dying.
Agent Devis was soon rescued by the clone troopers of Torrent Company, who were led by Jedi Master Djinn Altis. During her rescue, however, Hallena was helpless to act when Merish was killed by the Jedi Master's lightsaber, and Shil was shot and killed during the firefight that ensued. She realized that she had come to genuinely like the two rebels and their friends, and their deaths shook her resolve. This, coupled with the death of trooper Vere in the fighting, prompted Devis to make up her mind about leaving the Republic Intelligence agency for good. Unfortunately, their shuttle was unable to reach the Leveler before the ship had to jump into hyperspace in order to avoid being captured by Separatist forces. Master Altis suggested that they return to the planet's surface and fight whatever forces they encountered, rather than being taken prisoner. They were joined by Anakin Skywalker on the surface, and the group was able to steal a Separatist CR20 corvette to make their escape. However, clone trooper Ince was badly injured during the fighting, and the medical team aboard the Leveler were unable to save him. With all of these deaths weighing on her mind, Agent Devis made a final decision to leave the Republic Intelligence agency once and for all. She could not understand how the Grand Army of the Republic had come into being, nor how the Jedi Order could simply allow itself to became the leaders of the Republic's military forces. Although Pellaeon offered to marry her, Hallena found that she needed to clear her head and make sure that she could completely break away from the Republic. She decided to join the Altisian Jedi on their relief mission to Yarille, where she hoped to start her new life.

Devis, Mynar
This man served the Imperial Remnant as a Captain during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, commanding the Interdictor cruiser Wrack. Captain Devis was part of the Imperial portion of Operation Trinity, monitoring one of the escape routes to be used by the forces of the Galactic Alliance. He admitted to being a fan of Han Solo's exploits since the age of five, when the smuggler's ship Millennium Falcon was dragged out of hyperspace by the Imperial forces. When the Yuuzhan Vong crippled the HoloNet with the use of the mabugat kan, Devis agreed to take a flight of TIE Defenders and race back to Grand Admiral Pellaeon to warn them of the communications failure. After delivering his message, Devis returned to Bilbringi to lend assistance to the forces of the Galactic Alliance.
However, without the other two fleets, General Wedge Antilles' forces took a pounding at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong. Devis and his wingmen worked with Solo and the Millennium Falcon to help clear escape routes, but they too were beset by Yuuzhan Vong forces. In order to ensure that the Millennium Falcon survived to fight another day, Devis remained to guard Solo's rear, then plunged his TIE Defender into the hull of a Yuuzhan Vong interdictor craft. The resulting explosion took Devis' life, but enabled the forces of the Galactic Alliance to eliminate the interdictor. In the wake of Operation Trinity, many within the New Republic's military came to believe that Devis was actually the son of Gilad Pellaeon, after Han Solo delivered word of Devis' actions to the Grand Admiral. Pellaeon kept the knowledge of Mynar's relationship to himself, but being unable to acknowledge Mynar as his son made his grief all the more difficult to contain.

Devish
A subspecies of Devaronians, the Devish outwardly resembled their cousins, but there were several social and physical differences. The male Devish were born with two sets of sharp teeth that were used for hunting, augmenting the already formidable dentition of the baseline Devaronian. The females were born with both sharp incisors and blunt molars, and could survive on food that would kill most males. About one male in every fifty was born with both sets of teeth, making him a kind of solitary but useful hunter.
This second set of teeth was located inside the normal set of teeth. In the females, though, the outer set of molars could be retracted, leaving the sharp teeth clear for ripping meat. Note that The New Essential Guide to Alien Species indicates that the term Devish was simply another name for a Devaronian.
(TME, EGA, NEGA)
Devisors
This social strata was the higher of the two which developed over the millennia on Exocron. Descended from the original engineers aboard the Exocros Cabal, the Devisors were responsible for maintaining a safe and "good" level of technology for the rest of the planet's inhabitants. The Devisors believed that technology and space travel were inherently evil, and made sure that nothing new would come to harm the other colonists. This division of the population made the Devisors the unstated rulers of Exocron. However, there were several pirate groups and corsairs who believed that the Devisors were holding the people of Exocron from joining the rest of the galaxy. One group, led by Eida Sharden, managed to finally break the Devisors' hold on the population. After assisting Horzao Darr and Kaiya Adrimetrum in freeing the FarStar, Pagda Gevtes was captured and the Devisors were reduced in stature.

Deviss
This clone commander, who was officially designated CT-65/91-6210, was trained as a Captain on Kamino, and was assigned to the 327th Star Corps during the build-up of forces prior to the Clone Wars. He was placed in command of Hawkbat Battalion's K Company, during the Battle of Geonosis. On Geonosis, K Company was all but wiped out, and Deviss risked his life to drag two injured clones to safety. For his actions, he was awarded a medal and given a new command. After his Jedi General was killed during the Battle of Altyr V, he was forced to lead an improvised attack on a Separatist ion cannon, destroying the weapon and allowing Republic forces to win the battle. Another award for valor was followed by a promotion to Commander for Deviss, and he was assigned to served under Commander Bly during the final stages of the Clone Wars. He was dispatched to Orto just a week before the command to execute Order 66 was sent out, working with Jedi Knight Nem Bees to clean up the few remaining pockets of Separatist forces. Deviss wasted no time upon hearing the order, and shot down Nem Bees as the Ortolan led an assault on a Separatist position.

Carib was "activated" by Grodin Tierce, shortly after the revelation of the Caamas Document. Like his brother, Sabmin, Carib was also a clone of Soontir Fel, bred for his piloting skills in case Thrawn needed additional pilots in his war against the New Republic. However, Fel's love of the outdoors and his family somehow made it into his makeup, and the Devists decided that they didn't want to fight when the orders came through. They opted to negotiate with Leia Organa-Solo for their freedom. Carib agreed to help the New Republic by taking a doctored recording of an alien starship to the nearest Ubiqtorate base, in hopes that it would be rerouted to Bastion. Han Solo and Lando Calrissian could then travel to Bastion and retrieve a copy of the Caamas Document. In the meantime, Devist agreed to served as the diplomatic representative to the New Republic from Pakrik Minor. He threw in his full support of President Gavrisom, and was used as a rallying point. He was also able to identify several Imperial ships among those gathered around Bothawui, and was instrumental in the discovery of the Tyrannic.

This was a specially-developed organism that was used by the Old Republic to scrub the atmosphere of the planet Coruscant, in an effort to maintain a breathable quality of air. These organisms were bred to be highly effective and efficient at converting carbon dioxide into oxygen, thereby taking the place of the plantlife which no longer covered the planet's surface.

Devourer Tank
This device was produced during the New Republic for the automated disposal and recycling of organic material, especially on worlds like Coruscant where garbage disposal was extremely important. Organic material was collected and placed into the tank, which was essentially a vat of viscous "goo" that broke down the organic material. Every so often, the goo was pumped out of the tank, and the inorganic sludge at the bottom was scraped out, in order to maintain the tank's effectiveness. The goo which was placed in the tank was barely aware of its surroundings, and the individual molecules could work together to grasp at organic material and drag it into the tank. The devourer tank's goo was a modified version of the devourer organism developed to scrub Coruscant's air.

Jango Fett later claimed this bounty during his attempt to locate Sebolto on Malastare.
(BH)
Dewback
A species of large, omnivorous, saurian lizards found in the deserts of Tatooine and Breeka, dewbacks were named for the sweat they exude during periods of rest. The dew-like sweat collected along the scales of their backs, and members of a dewback herd licked the sweat off each other for water. This sharing of the "dew" on their backs helped the dewbacks develop social relationships. The sweat was often collected by certain races for medicinal purposes. Note that The New Essential Guide to Alien Species indicates that the name dewback came from the fact that dew collected on their scales overnight, as their body condensced small amounts of moisture from the cool night air.
The average dewback was a solitary animal for most of the year. However, huge numbers of dewbacks congregated in the Jundland Wastes each year to participate in a huge, orgiastic mating ritual that followed the mating season of the krayt dragon. Many scientists believed that this ritual was the primary reason dewbacks were never successfully bred in captivity.
In the wake of their reproductive encounters, dewbacks left thousands of eggs behind to hatch. Because the dewback mating ritual followed that of the krayt dragon, the eggs were safe from harm. These eggs were kept warm by the heat of the desert sands, and the infant inside grew for about six months before hatching. Once hatched, young dewbacks had to fend for themselves once hatched.
Faster and more agile than a bantha, Dewbacks could be trained for use as mounts or beasts of burden. While lumbering in appearance, the average dewback could attain a running speed of fifty kilometers an hour for short bursts. Dewbacks were easy to domesticate, especially if raised from the egg. However, any domesticated Dewback had to be set free each year for the mating season, or else they went into a wild rage. Dewbacks were also used as a food source by humans and Tusken Raiders.
Dewbacks were active during the heat of the day, but become sluggish during the cold desert nights.
The coloration of the dewback's scales varied from species to species, although most were a dusty green or brown in color. During the mating season, males displayed pale blue belly scales, an indication that an individual is ready to mate.

This man served the Empire as a Colonel in the armed forces, during the height of the New Order. He was the Imperial liaison aboard the Ithorian herdship Tafanda Bay, which placed him nominally in charge of the vessel. Many years earlier, Dewes had been saved from assassination by the bounty hunter Dengar, when a rival Colonel tried to obtain a posting that Dewes was also competing for. His posting on Ithor was, some of his peers believed, the result of his respect for the lives of the beings he controlled, as Dewes was often more worried about obtaining results while reducing the loss of life. When the native Ithorians retook the Tafanda Bay, Dewes was captured but not killed. Instead, the Oracle decided to leave Dewes on the planet's surface, where the abundance of life would either kill him or turn him into an ally of the Ithorians.

Despite its name, this parasite attacked its host from the inside, lodging in the digestive system until fully grown. Then, they migrated into the bloodstream and lodged themselves in the subcutaneous tissues of muscles. Once there, they resembles rosy lumps on the skin, giving them their name. The infection of Dexsrti Skin Pox was treatable with medication.

Deyal, Lesore
This was the name of a noted Umbaran individual.
(UANT)
Deyer
This planet, located in the Anoat System, was the homeworld of Kyp Durron's parents. It was a terraformed world, with raft cities anchored in manmade lakes. It was once a successful fish-farming colony, aquaformed to make the most of the fish. Located near the Ison Corridor and the Corellian Trade Spine, it was within easy access of many Old Republic supply lines. The colonists ruled themselves under the auspices of the Old Republic, but the rise of the New Order saw widespread misuse of the farming facilities. When the representatives of the Deyer colony demanded that Emperor Palpatine rescind the New Order, the planet was swiftly subjugated, and many of the protestors were sent off to various prison worlds. The Empire seized control of all aquaculture on Deyer, polluting the waters and killinf off the fish until the remaining settlers were forced to abandon the planet altogether. After the fall of the Empire, Deyer became just another backwater world. Its days lasted 28 standard hours, and its year lasted 389 local days. Note that the Galactic Gazetteer: Hoth and the Greater Javin indicates that Deyer's day lasted 20 hours, and its year lasted 300 local days.

Deysum III
This planet, located in the Trax Sector, served as the Imperial sector capital shortly after the Battle of Yavin. A huge naval installation was erected on the planet. At the time of the Battle of Yavin, Deysum III had been abused by corporations and urban sprawl, and much of the planet was covered with swamps of deadly chemicals and toxic waste. The inhabitants of the planet were forced to erect huge domes to cover their cities and keep out the toxic gases the built up over the centuries of misuse.

Dez, Jan
This Rutian Twi'lek worked for Lauli Wahlo at a noodle shop in the G17 district of Coruscant's Galactic City, during the final years of the Old Republic. Wahlo and Dez were also known to the denizens of the G17 district as fences for stolen merchandise. The pair provided information on the location of Bannamu to Ahsoka Tano and Tera Sinube, during the height of the Clone Wars.

Dezsetes
This man was a Captain in the Imperial armed forces during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. He was outwardly loyal to Emperor Palpatine, but was actually allied with Grand Moff Trachta. By remaining a member of the Imperial Navy's command structure, Dezsetes was able to provide Trachta with detailed reports on the movement of the Imperial fleet. He arragned to be assigned to the Star Destroyer Mathayus, when the ship was provided for Darth Vader's mission to hunt down a supposed Jedi Knight on Dargulli. After Vader eliminated the pretender, who claimed to be a disciple of the Sith, he returned to the Mathayus and confronted Dezsetes. When Dezsetes revealed the plot to assassinate Emperor Palpatine, Vader cut Dezsetes in half with his lightsaber.

Df
This Impeiral unit of measure was used by weapons manufacturers to describe the range, in kilometers, over which a single artillery weapon blast lost eight percent of its energy. It was initially developed by the Sumrias race, which discovered that a weapon would lose half its charge at eight times the value of Df.
(ISB)
DF.1
This was the designation of the Golan Arms spray blaster, a light laser weapon that could cover a wide firing arc with blaster bolts that pinned down enemy forces until larger weapons could be brought to bear.
(ISB)
DF.9
This was the designation of Golan Arms' anti-infantry battery, a stationary, turret-mounted medium laser weapon. The turret was available as a mobilized version for deployment, designated as SP.9, but the weapon's mechanics required it to be constantly maintained. The DF.9 had a proton-shielded control cylinder, and the priamry weapon sat on top of it. What made the DF.9 a potent weapon was the way in which its energy bolts exploded upon impact, causing damage in an eight-meter blast radius. The DF.9 was originally developed during the early years of the New Order, but found widespread use in the Alliance military.
(ISB, CFG, NEGW)
DF.9/B
A follow-on to the Golan Arms DF.9, the DF.9/B was essentially a DF.9 battery mounted on a four-meter tower, with a complete 360-degree firing arc. This weapon was a fixed-installation weapon only, and rapidly gained popularity during the Galactic Civil War.

DFB-2000
This personal defense field generator, manufactured by Palladia Electronics, was worn like a belt. Contained in the belt was a small proximity sensor and energy emitter, designed to protect a being's personal space. Whenever an unwanted intrusion occurred, the sensor picked up incoming pressure and rected by releasing a stun charge at the offender. The stun charge varied in strength, depending on the force with which the intruder approached the user.
(GFT)
DF-D1
This flechette rifle was produced by Salus Corporation, during the height of the New Order. It was unique in that it fired flechettes from two barrels instead of one. It was considered powerful at close range, but lacked accuracy over a distance. The design of the DF-D1 was essentially stolen from the Golan Arms FC-1 flechette launcher, in the hopes of Salus gaining a contract with the Empire. However, the DF-D1 was plagued by numerous flaws and accidents, and Salus was eventually nationalized by Imperial Munitions. The DF-D1 was dropped as a project.
(GFT, GUN, AEG)
D-Five
This was the designation of one of the Dreadnaughts that was part of the Outbound Flight starship. D-Five was one of the five Dreadnaughts which was buried when the ship crashed into a large planetoid in the Redoubt, after it was attacked by a group of Chiss led by Thrawn.
(SQ)
D-Four
This was the designation of one of the Dreadnaughts that was part of the Outbound Flight starship. D-Four was the only Dreadnaughts which remained aboveground when the ship crashed into a large planetoid in the Redoubt, after it was attacked by a group of Chiss led by Thrawn. Thus, it was the only access point through which any visstor could reach the rest of the ship. However, because it was the only Dreadnaught aboveground, the Outbound Flight Colony expended a large portion of its efforts on getting D-Four ready for flight once again. When the remains of Outbound Flight were located by a Chiss-led expedtion some fifty years after its attack, D-Four was capable of flight but not ready for the Colony to continue its mission. This made it an attractive target for Estosh and Bearsh, who commanded their Vagaari pirates to steal the ship for their own use. After planting line creepers in the rest of the Outbound Flight Dreadnaughts, they blasted D-Four away from the main ship by destroying the turbolift pylons that connected them. The Vagaari hoped that this would kill anyone left on Outbound Flight, but Captain Talshib of the Chiss managed to seal them off. Estosh and his surviving Vagaari nearly reached the Brask Oto Command Station, the first stop in their attack on the Chiss, but Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade Skywalker managed to defeat them and bring the Dreadnaught under control.

DH107
This was the designation of Herzfall Corporation's head-mounted communications device. The DH107 resolved the jamming problems encountered when using SoroSuub's DH77 headcommm, which was used in stormtrooper helmets. The DH107 had a special decoding sequence built into its firmware, which was activated when the helmet was placed on the trooper's head. It randomly changed frequencies according to a platoon shifting sequence, which made tracking the transmission nearly impossible. The sequence could only be halted by throwing a small tongue switch as the trooper removed the helmet. Otherwise, the decoding sequence would be erased, rendering the communications system useless. Airen Cracken once found that, if a person linked a sabacc skifter to the DH107 module, the skifter could relay information about what frequency was most likely to be used next.
(ISB, CFG)
DH-17
One of BlasTech's Imperial weapons, the DH-17 resembled an E-11 blaster, except that its nozzle was cone-shaped. Although the DH-17 was semi-automatic, it could be modified for automatic fire. This modification was not recommended, however, because the weapon built up excessive amounts of heat during heavy use. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, the DH-17 was among the many weapons purchased by the Empire, and was considered standard-issue for officers of the Imperial Navy. The DH-17 was available in several formats, from a simple pistol to a carbine.
(CCG, EGW, SWG2P, A)

DH-18
This BlasTech blaster pistol was the follow-on to the DH-17 model, produced during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The primary difference was the power output of the DH-18, which was greater than that of the DH-17, but with a shorter range.
(AEG)
DH-23 Outback
This modification of BlasTech's DH-17 blaster pistol was made with durability in mind. While it wasn't as powerful or accurate as the DH-17, the DH-23 had better construction and heat dissipation capabilities.

DH77
This was the model number of SoroSuub's lightweight communications device, that could be attached to headgear such helmets or headsets. Designed for use in stormtrooper helmets, the DH77 was later replaced by Herzfall's DH107 because the DH77 was easily jammed by high energy particle emissions.

Dha
This Mando'a word meant "dark," when translated into Basic.
(OWS)
Dha Werda Verda
This song was considered to be the Mandalorian warrior's ritual battle chant, although many beings who witnessed it tended to describe it as organized chaos. The chant was never performed alone, as the sharing of verses and movements was a sign of brotherhood and comradery. The words were chanted in rhythms that were layered one on top of each other, with each soldier hammering out the backbeat on the armor of the soldier next to him. The chant was performed without helmets, so that each clone could display his full range of enmotions during the performance. Like their military training, the performance of the Dha Werda Verda required that soldiers be preternaturally in time with each other, or severe injury could occur. The chanting started with the words "Taung sa rang broka! Jetiise ka'rta! Dha Werda Verda a'den tratu! Coruscanta kandosii adu! Duum motir ca'tra nau tracinya! Gra'tua cuun hett su dralshy'a! Kom'rk tsad droten troch nyn ures adenn!" Many historians of the final years of the Old Republic questioned the chant's authenticity, reasoning that becasue it describe the ancient Taungs and the planet Coruscant, the modern Mandalorians must have adapted it with a more modern translation. During the height of the Clone Wars, the Dha Werda Verda was passed from the Cuy'val Dar to their trainees, who passed it from clone to clone until it became part of their own culture.

Dha Werda Verda
This was the term used by the ancient Taungs to describe their race. It translated into Basic as "Warriors of the Shadow," a term that arose from their initial victory against the Battalions of Zhell.
(SES, NECH)
Dha Werda Verda
This ancient text was first discovered, albeit inadvertently, by Mungo Baobab, who also recovered the famed Roonstones in which the text was stored. This text was later deciphered in the Baobab Archives, with assistance from the protocol droid known as C-3PO. Encoded into the crystal structure of the stones was the first version of the text ever found. Research into the origins of Dha Werda Verda indicate that it was written some 5,000 years before the Taungs marauded the ancient peoples of the planet Coruscant, known as the battalions of Zhell. The epic story recounts the bloody battles between the Taungs and the Zhell, and focuses on the final battle, which turned when a volcano erupted and rained deadly ashes onto the main Zhell city, wiping them out. However, the cloud of ash which formed as a result of the blast filled the skies for two years after the Taung's took control. This cloud cast a shadow over their lives, and the Taung adopted the name Dha Werda Verda, which literally translated to "The Warriors of the Shadow." Throughout their history, the Taungs referred to themselves as the Dark Warriors, another translation of Dha Werda Verda.

Dhannut Logistics
This business was one of a handful that Besany Wennen discovered during her search for mis-appropriated funds that might have gone to a pension fund for the clones of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Wennen started looking for contractors who had been hired by the GAR, and Dhannut Logistics turned out to be something of a mystery. There was no entry for the corporation in the public directories, leading Wennen to assume that maybe Dhannut Logistics was being kept out of the public eye to protect civilians from the horrors of war. A secret meeting with a Gurlanin spy revealed to Wennen that Dhannut was nothing more than a front for covering up the movement of credits within the Old Republic.

This Advozse worked as Pok Nar-Tan's majordomo, serving the Klatooinan Trade Guild on Boztrok. It was rumored that Dhantra was once a boss himself within the Guild, in charge of a Twi'lek slavery ring before being disgraced by his enemies and removed from power. However, it was later learned that Dhantra had been in charge of the Guild's relationship with Big Quince, and was demoted in the wake of Platt Okeefe's killing of the Sludir.

D'harhan
This being was a member of a near-human species which implanted various mechanical systems into their bodies, often replacing major limbs and organs with cybernetic weapons. They coordinated their actions via an internal communications package. D'harhan was also a bounty hunter, and was well-suited to the task. His body was covered by heavy, black armor which protected the power and support systems for the huge laser cannon which served as its head. The weapon had an enormous bore, and was studded with sophisticated optical systems that allowed D'harhan to "see" its surroundings as well as target its prey. The subsystems of the laser were draped down his back, along his spine. The immense weight of all these systems would have overbalanced a normal creature, but D'harhan also had a segmented, armored "tail" which extended from his lower back and hips. Heavy, black gloves protected D'harhan's hands, and thick-soled booted supported his feet. In order to communicate, D'harhan used an archaic keyboard attached to its central processors, and typed out its words. The words were interpreted and "spoken" by a vocabulator module. Boba Fett, the closest thing D'harhan had to a friend, had been present as his creation during the last years of the Old Republic, and partnered with the near-human on a couple of occasions. One of their first missions was working for Inquisitor Malorum on Bellassa, shortly after the Clone Wars, during the search for Ferus Olin and Roan Lands. The two bounty hunters pursued Ferus and Obi-Wan Kenobi to the Red Twins, but D'harhan was badly injured when they managed to escape. For much of his career, D'harhan was known to shoot first and not bother to ask questions later. His last mission with Boba Fett was the hunt for Oph Nar Dinnid, in which D'harhan was forced to give up his weapons systems in order to land on the planet Circumtore. This nearly killed D'harhan, for his weapons systems were his primary essence. Fett maintained his life support with minimal power until his skills were needed. Then, using armaments from a hidden weapons cache unloaded from within the Shell Hutt fortress, D'harhan's main laser cannon was reactivated. D'harhan managed to eliminate a huge number of the mercenaries hired by Gheeta to protect the Shell Hutts, but their combined firepower eventually felled D'harhan. Boba Fett then used the near-human's laser cannon - which was still operational - to destroy Gheeta. It was believed that D'harhan was the last of his kind.

Dhur, Den
This male Sullustan was a reporter for the HoloNet News Service, and served as a war correspondent during the height of the Clone Wars. He was equally known for his hard-hitting expose's and his hard drinking, both of which were punctuated by a loyalty to the truth that never faltered. He was a veteran of many of the Clone Wars' most intense battlefronts, including the Battle of Jabiim. It was on Jabiim that Dhur first encountered Filba the Hutt, when the Hutt nearly got him killed while trying to curry favor with Alto Stratus. From that point forward, Den's opinion of Filba - and Hutts in general - grew steadily worse, until he was stationed on Drongar during the Jasserak Engagement.
After reaching Rimsoo Seven, Den was surprised to find Filba serving as the military hospital's supply sergeant. With a little digging, Den discovered Filba's connections to Black Sun and Admiral Tarnese Bleyd, and began to piece together their plans to sell processed bota on the black market. He planned a sweeping report on their criminal activities, hoping to bring Filba down once and for all. He was dismayed when Filba was poisoned, since the chance to link the Hutt to Black Sun was all but gone. He was left with reporting on the atrocities being committed by Phow Ji, who had been named the Rimsoo Seven combat instructor. Unfortunately, his scathing article was rewritten by his editors to provide an exceptionally positive slant, painting Phow Ji as a hero working in the worst of conditions.
Sick of the war and tired of his career, Den Dhur fell deeper into an alcohol-induced stupor, until the Rimsoo Seven facility was attacked by Separatist forces. He sobered up almost immediately, and set to work helping the Republic forces break down the medical unit for transport. As the last transport was leaving, Den Dhur made a run for it, but noticed that Zan Yant's quetarra had been dropped in the chaos. Without regard for his own life, Den Dhur retrieved the quetarra, remembering how beautiful sounded when Zan played it. His elation was multiplied when a thermal bomb went off along his original path to the transport, and he realized that rescuing the instrument probably saved his life. His happiness, however, was short-lived. Their transport ship was hit by a Separatist missile, and Zan was killed almost instantly.
It was of little consolation to Den Dhur that Doctor Yant had died happily, knowing that his quetarra had been rescued. When the Rimsoo had relocated, Den threw himself into his work, hoping that additional reports from the battlefront would help him forget the horrors he had witnessed. He began to find solace when he met Eyar Ahtram, who was as attracted to Den as he was to her. He also developed what he considered a mild disease while working with the people of Rimsoo Seven: a conscience. When he discovered that the bota plant was mutating at such a rate that it would be worthless in a few generations, Den probably could have written a Porasca Prize-winning story on the impact of the mutation. However, he realized that any such story would provide the Separatists with a reason to utterly destroy the Republic's presence on Drongar, so he held off on writing it.
When the bota mutation was discovered, the fighting on Drongar came to a quick halt, and both sides turned their attention elsewhere. Den Dhur agreed to accompany the droid I-5YQ to Coruscant, recognizing its intelligence and its drive to locate Jax Pavan. They arrived on Coruscant about nine months before the end of the Clone Wars and the formation of the Galactic Empire, but were unable to locate Jax in the Jedi Temple. To make matters worse, his story about Phow Ji had soured many editors to his work, and Den Dhur found that he had been blackballed among reporters. With nothing to support them, Den Dhur and I-5YQ barely scraped by for several months, and were forced to curtail their searches when Emperor Palpatine assumed control of the galaxy.
However, I-5YQ's search for Jax Pavan continued, and was aided when Jax was caught on security cameras using the Force to disarm a couple of thugs. I-5YQ began an intensive search of the local police networks, realizing that it was getting closer to completing its mission. During this time, Den Dhur found himself becoming jealous of Jax Pavan, who wasn't even present and yet demanded a large portion of I-5YQ's time. He told himself that these feelings of jealously were stupid, that he didn't care what a simple droid did, but he could not deny that the feelings existed.
The pair tracked Jax to the palace of Rokko the Hutt, and Den Dhur suggested that they pose as a couple of well-wishers. I-5YQ would be Den's gift to the crimelord, since the droid could play sabacc as well as most beings. Rokko was quite pleased with the droid's abilities, and allowed them to remain in the palace. However, when I-5YQ finally crossed paths with Jax, the young man wanted nothing to do with the droid. The fact that I-5YQ knew who Jax was did not please Rokko, forcing them all to escape from the Hutt's palace together. They agreed to search for 10-4TO together, and tracked the droid to the Factory District of Coruscant, where they were apprehended by Prince Xizor, who had already found 10-4TO. Den Dhur and Laranth Tarak were swiftly force-cuffed, and had to watch helplessly as Nick was defeated by Xizor. Jax, however, was able to drive of the Falleen prince, set Den Dhur free.
Any rest they might have had was not to happen, however, as they were surrounded by feral droids and a reactor near their position was overloading. On top of these problems, Darth Vader was also searching for Jax, forcing them to make a hasty escape aboard the stolen freighter Far Ranger. When the group learned that the search for 10-4TO was part of an elaborate scheme developed by Darth Vader to catch Jax Pavan and other Jedi, Den Dhur and I-5YQ agreed to remain on Coruscant with Jax, while he searched for a way to bring down the Dark Lord. One of their first assignments was the investigation into the death of Ves Volette, although Den Dhur loathed the time he had to spend with Haninum Tyk Rhinann, who seemed to always be in a foul mood, and brought down the moods of those around him. In order to further the investigation, Den Dhur tried to impersonate a police officer in order to question the art dealer Shulf'aa, but was arrested and taken to jail instead. When Jax bailed him out, the two were able to discover corroborating stories that pointed to either Vlacan Umber or his wife, Kirma, as being at the scene of the crime. This information, coupled with I-5YQ's analysis of the Umbers' domestic droid, revealed that the domestic droid had committed the murder, in order to save Baroness Umber from further distress over her husband's possible affair with Dejah Duare.
In the weeks that followed, Den Dhur experienced a major revelation when Tuden Sal arrived at their apartments to ask I-5YQ to carry out a mission to assassinate Emperor Palpatine. Den Dhur realized that he thought of the droid as a person, and that I-5YQ could not possibly accept the mission. However, he also realized that I-5YQ would be haunted by the memory of Lorn Pavan's death for the rest of the droid's existence, since the memory was stored in the computer that served as the droid's brain. Den knew that I-5YQ might take on the mission in order to avenge Lorn Pavan, and so he set out to convince Jax that the mission was a foolhardy thing at best. Jax, however, kept his own thoughts carefully hidden, and Den became more and more frustrated, to the point that he made a decision to leave Coruscant and return to Eyar Ahtram on Sullust. However, while waiting for his transport, Den Dhur realized that his love of Eyar paled in comparison to how alive he felt when he was working with Jax and his friends. He returned to the conapt, only to discover that Jax and I-5YQ had actually taken on the assassination mission and were meeting with Darth Vader. Den Dhur quickly notified the Whiplash organization, and both Tuden Sal and Thi Xon Yimmon accompanied him to the meeting place.
There, they witnessed the fury of the Cosmic Force after Vader consumed the sample of bota that Laranth Tarak had been hiding. Consumed by powers beyond his control, Vader was sending blasts of Force energy in evergy direction. The Dark Lord might have taken both Jax and Kajin Savaros to their deaths, had not Haninum Tyk Rhinann intervened, suddenly attacking the Dark Lord in fury at being denied his chance to use the bota to commune with the Force. Locked in a deadly embrace, Vader and Rhinann fell from the window of the meeting place, and the sudden action caused Vader to release Jax and Kaj.

Dhuru Fly
This species of insect was native to Dagelin Minor, and were considered a nuisance. The planetary authories decided to wipe out the insects by importing a swarm of Bogan's Brown Nafen, hoping that the flying insects would consume the flies. Unfortunately, the nafen were carrying a strain of the Hardan Plague, which eventually killed 98% of the planet's population.
(COG)
Dhuryam
This was the name of an immature World Brain, specially-bred by the Yuuzhan Vong to control the ecosystem of a planet. Grown from genetic material taken from the original World Brain of Yuuzhan'tar, dhuryams were related in many respects to the yammosks. However, the dhuryam was capable of widescale telepathic manipulation of its environment, where the yammosk used gravitic signatures to direct the actions of starships. Dhuryams were capable of coordinating the operation of huge numbers of Yuuzhan Vong bio-organic machines which were required to Vongform a world. A group of dhuryams were often grown together, and placed into direct competition with each other. As they developed the skills necessary to sustain an incredibly diverse ecosystem, the dhuryams matured. When they were ready, a ceremony known as the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat took place, in which only the strongest and most capable dhuryam survived. This one individual was then installed as the World Brain of a new planet. As the time of the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat approached, Yuuzhan Vong warriors were ordered to monitor their activities, for the increasingly intelligent dhuryams often used slaves to kill their rival dhuryams. This would unfairly taint the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat, resulting in a poor choice of World Brain.

Di, Praaelon
This man was a noted gunrunner, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Arrogant and well-connected, Di was brash enough to sell all manner of weaponry to some of the galaxy's most dangerous organizations. Much of his business was conducted beyond the Inner Rim, but he maintained several contacts deep within the Core Worlds. Most of his business was carried aboard his modified Republic Cruiser, the Tri-Sun.
Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, he took a job delivering a cache of weapons to the Alliance, believing that the soldiers of the Alliance would be a long-term customer during their struggle against the Empire. However, Di never anticipated being targeted by a former customer for his actions. Administrator Lenc of the Weldi III mining colony discovered that Di had sold weapons to both sides of a miners' revolt, and hired a group of thugs to bring Di back to Weldi III for punishment.
The Alliance team that Di was scheduled to meet helped him escape from Lenc's pirate fleet, forcing him to flee into the Outer Rim. Unfortunately, Di's troubles didn't end there, as he was pursued by the bounty hunter Boushh. With help from his friends in the Alliance, Di once again managed to escape. This time, however, instead of remaining hidden, Di figured that he needed to put an end to his troubles, and set out to confront Administrator Lenc once and for all. In an epic battle in one of Lenc's mineshafts on Weldi III, Di and his Alliance comrades confronted the Administrator and his miners. Unfortunately for Lenc, his miners abandoned their posts to join the rebels, and Lenc was killed before he could escape.

Di Blinth, Jesson
This X'Ting warrior was the last of five brothers to try and penetrate the security systems that hid the royal eggs of his race, during the height of the Clone Wars. All five had researched the security systems extensively, and had mapped out all possible pathways to the chamber containing the eggs. However, the first four of his hive-brothers had perished trying to reach the eggs, which were believed to be the only hope for the X'Ting race. Jesson, whose clan lived in the Di Blinths volcano, was an experienced warrior, as evidenced by the numerous scars on both sets of arms and by the three-part staff he used as a weapon. During the height of the Clone Wars, when Obi-Wan Kenobi was dispatched to Ord Cestus to determine the X'Ting's situation, Jesson was paired with the Jedi Master on a desparate mission to obtain the royal eggs. Jesson revealed to Obi-Wan that he hated the offworlders who controlled his homeworld, and that he would grudgingly accept Obi-Wan help. Obi-Wan seemed to accept this, and as the pair battled through the security systems, Jesson gained a new form of respect for the Jedi. Each saved the other's life many times before they reached the main chamber, where Jesson was forced to answer three questions. Each seemed remarkably simple to answer, but the computer system kept indicating that he had answered wrongly. Fearful of losing his life, Jesson pressed on, finally answering all three questions without receiving credit for a correct answer. As he accepted his fate, Jesson and Obi-Wan realized that the system was meant to test the smells exuded by the X'Ting who answered the questions, to be sure that they were in the chamber with the purest of intentions. Only an X'Ting who answered truthfully, and accepted his death despite this seeming incongruity, would be allowed access to the eggs. Jesson was relieved to find that he had passed the test, and the pair managed to return safely to the council with the eggs in their possession.

di Garthos, Dremullar Obohn
This overly tall Muun and his Rodian partner, Father, established the Obohn Gallery of the Industrial Aesthetic on the planet Taris, more than 4,000 years before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. Dremullar Obohn di Garthos also served as the museum's curator, although he was known for his haughty nature, and preferred to be called Master Obohn by his associates. In the aftermath of the initial Sith attacks on Taris, Master Obohn set about trying to stock the Obohn Gallery with new artworks, although he wasn't above contracting fencers and other underworld middlebeings to acquire them. One of these contacts, a Snivvian who was actually Marn Hierogryph, claimed to be able to provide him with works from Ineas Tikartine.
When they met, Master Obohn couldn't help but notice the resemblance between the Snivvian's assistant, Wervis, and the wanted Jedi Padawan, Zayne Carrick. The Snivvian laughed this off, then presented Master Obohn with his merchandise. Master Obohn refused to take the Snivvian's word on the authenticity of the artworks, demanding that they be authenticated. Zayne stepped in and, using the persuasion of the Force, convinced both Master Obohn and Father that the artworks were authentic, even though they were actually little more than scrap metal.
Much to Heirogryph's dismay, however, Master Obohn then claimed that he was a fraud, and threatened to call in the Taris constabulary to arrest them for stealing Tikartine's artworks. Obohn's sister had married a Tarisian Muun who was a member of the constabulary, and would have turned them in if The Camper hadn't intervened. The Arkanian Offshoot was angry at Heirogryph for stealing his scrap to use as the pretend Tikartine artworks, and his sudden appearance was enough to convince Master Obohn as to the Snivvian's illegal intentions. He set his two Wookiee bodyguards to capture the criminals, but called them off when Heirogryph threatened to destroy the "artworks." For some reason, Master Obohn believed that The Camper was actually Ineas Tikartine, which proved in his mind that the artworks were real. It also meant that he had the chance to acquire Tikartine works that the artist knew were stolen, so he offered Heirogryph a huge sum of credits to pay for them. Hierogryph gladly turned over the scrap metal to the collector, making off with his credits before Master Obohn could ask any further questions.

Diagnoster
This test tool was a common implement used by doctors and physicians throughout the galaxy. Smaller models were often found in a starship's medical emergency kit, and was designed to help determine the chemical composition of a sample. These small diagnosters could also be used to scan a being's body for foreign bodies, such as a slug or shrapnel. Large, full-body diagnosters could be installed in a doctor's office, and could scan the various bodily functions involved with digestion, the nervous system, respiration, circulation, musculature, and the cardiovascular system. These larger models contained databases that allowed doctors to analyze the overall health of a variety of races and species.

This white-maned race of sentients was involved in a minor shipping security dispute with the Ishori, shortly before the Caamas Incident. The Diamals didn't trust the Ishori patrol ships which escorted Diamalan transports into Ishori ports. Han Solo and Luke Skywalker tried to resolve the conflict, but were unable to do so. Instead, the dispute grew into a large-scale political battle with the revelations of the Bothan involvement in the destruction of Caamas. The Diamlan Senators firmly believed in the "forgive and forget" solution to the problem, while the Ishori wanted justice to take more physical form. They were a very honorable race, and respected the heroes of the Galactic Civil War. They were also very stoic, often described as unemotional.

Diamond
This was the codename of an Imperial Security Services agent who was based on the planet Toprawa, during the height of the New Order. Agent Diamond had done extensive research on the Hunter's World, otherwise known as Keyorin. Very little was known about Agent Diamond, aside from the fact that she was a female who had long, black hair and a threatening voice. Agent Diamond later appeared on the planet Lorrd, where she was seen in the company of Doctor Raygar, the Argzadan who was placed in charge of the excavation of the Slave Pits of Lorrd. While Raygar investigated the strange history of the slave pits, Diamond focused on infiltrating the local resistance, in an attempt to smash it from within and gain favor for herself in the eyes of Emperor Palpatine. To this end, she adopted the guise of Sister Sigil, and set about gathering data and information on the Lorrdian resistance. When Raygar finally discovered the location of a strange weapon within the Great Slave Pit of Lorrd, Diamond joined him in preparing to extract the weapon. They were discovered by Tash and Zak Arranda, who questioned Raygar about the weapon in order to stall for time. After Raygar explained that the weapon had been developed by a strange, alien being captured by the ancient Argazdans, Diamond scoffed at the idea. Her disbelief only grew when Raygar explained that he planned to sacrifice one of the Arranda children in order to activate the weapon, but Diamond agreed to the plan. However, she was unprepared for Raygar's duplicity, which allowed him to sneak up behind her and stab Diamond in the back with a knife blade. Her blood flowed from the fatal wound, and served as the catalyst that activated the weapon, which turned out to be a huge creature of unknown origin.

(SWDB)
Dianoga
This unusual, amphibious mollusk was found throughout the galaxy, living wherever there was sewage for it to subside on. It had seven tentacles and a single eyestalk arranged around its body, and a beaked mouth dominated its underside. The interior of the creature's body was essentially a huge stomach and digestive system.
The origins of the dianoga were eventually traced back to the planet Vodran, a swampy world where the dianoga was forced to develop a tranparent camouflage in order to escape from the planet's larger predators.
Also called a garbage squid, the dianoga managed to migrate off the planet by following the scent of garbage to spaceports and crawling into starships, effectively "stowing away." The average dianoga specimen could grow to be five to six meters in length, although specimens of ten meters were not unheard of. Their bodies, when unfed, become transparent, and an individual could change the coloration of their body to reflect the colors of their food once they have eaten.
The tentacles of a dianoga could be regenerated if lost, which occurred quite often when a dianoga was hunting for its prey. For this reason, many dianogas chose to scavenge for food, rather than risk injury, especially those ship-bound individuals that wanted to avoid detection.
As a species, dianogas were hermaphroditic, and were capable of fertilizing their own egg cells. Each new generation formed a new colony, which moved to an uninhabited location to make its home.

This steeped beverage, usually served hot, was considered something of a delicacy by the Muun race, despite the fact that it stained the lips and mouth of those individuals who drank it. They were easily identifiable by their purple lips, purple teeth, and black gums, although the staining effect was temporary. Drinkers of dianogan tea - named for the fact that it was brewed from a chemical found in the spleen of a dianoga - found the stains a small price to pay for the flavor, aroma, and mildly narcotic affect of the tea.

A dark-skinned, human Jedi Knight who served in the Battle of Koros Minor, and was present at the Jedi Assembly at Deneba. A native of Tatooine, Dace followed his father, Sidrona Diath, along the path to becoming a Jedi Knight. He learned the ways of the Force under the tutelage of Master Vodo Siosk-Baas, and fought bravely on Onderon against the Naddist uprising there. He nearly died on Ossus, though, during a training flight with Cay Qel-Droma. They were testing the Star Saber attack ship when Dace concentrated on the ship's targetting computer but ignored his flight path. His ship was destroyed when it impacted a rocky spire, but Dace managed to eject from the explosion, using the Force to levitate away from it. He later assisted the Jedi Knights during the Great Sith War, and was among the group that pursued Aleema and Crado into the Cron System. When Aleema tore one of the stars apart, Dace was vaporized in the resulting explosion.

Diath, Nico
This man was one of the long line of Jedi Knights to come from the Diath family, which traced its roots back some 4,000 years to the planet Tatooine. Something of a rogue within the Jedi Order, Master Diath was known for his hatred of slavery. After attaining the rank of Jedi Master, he refused to take a Padawan learner, choosing instead to roam the galaxy wherever the Force guided him. During the decades leading up to the Clone Wars, he spent much of his time in the Outer Rim, working along to free more than a thousand slaves. It was rumored that the Hutts had even tried to put a bounty on his head. Unfortunately for the Jedi Order, Master Diath died during the early stages of the Clone Wars. He had been part of the team dispatched to recover the antidote to the swamp gas used to destroy life on Ohma-D'un, and was killed when the catwalk he as standing on was damaged by the bounty hunter Durge. Master Diath fell to his death in the lava below.

This young Jedi Padawan was the nephew of Nico Diath, and a part of the almost legendary Diath family of Jedi Knights. Tae was part of the task force which was dispatched to the planet Jabiim, during the height of the Clone Wars, to liberate the planet from Separatist control. Many of the students, Tae among them, were forced to watch their Masters die in battle. As the Padawans tried to regroup, Tae began to question Anakin Skywalker's ability to remain focused on the battle. However, the group remained strong, until Anakin was ordered by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to leave the group to help coordinate the rescue efforts. As Anakin left, Tae and the others regrouped in an effort to slow the progress of Alto Stratus toward the Republic's last base. The fight between Stratus' forces and the Padawans lasted for nearly a day before Tae was caught alone on the battlefield and brutally slaughtered by a group of assassin droids. His death caused a massive, psychic backlash through the Force which destroyed the mind of Elora.

Diathim
This strange race of beings, native to the moon Millius Prime and its planet, Iego, was often referred to as Angels. The University of Sanbra officially recognized the name Diathim. Individually, Diathim appear to be female humanoids that stood between two and three meters in height. Six blade-shaped wings grew from their backs, allowing the Diathim to fly through the air, resembling the angels of many cultural religions. The body of a Diathim seemed to be made up of exceptionally bright, white light, which was tinged around the edges by a pale yellow aura. This light made distinguishing any facial features nearly impossible, giving rise to the varied descriptions of their true appearance. The legend that the Angels came from Iego's moons was rooted in a nugget of truth, because the Diathim could travel through the vacuum of space near Iego, moving from the planet and its moons to approach any starship that stumbled upon the planet. Individual Diathim spent most of their life moving through the Extrictarium Nebula, and only touched the surface of Iego in the area known as the Choir Alignment. There seemed to be no language among the Diathim, and although they radiated benevolence, they were known to have sabotaged many starships. It was believed that those beings who disappeared on Iego lived forever on the planet's surface, although Iego had to discernable natural resources. It was also believed that the Diathim were responsible for bringing starships to Iego, although the way in which they accomplished this was never discovered.

Dice, Marit
A native of Hali, this young girl attended the Leadership School on Andara during the years following the Battle of Naboo. She was one of the handful of students who attended the School on a scholarship, and was snubbed by many of the wealthier students. This led to her association with Gillam Tarturi and his band of mercenaries, as well as to her friendship with Anakin Skywalker. Anakin was attending the School as part of the investigation into Gillam's disappearance, and Marit decided that he would make a good addition to the band. In order to verify his interest, Marit stole Anakin's river stone, forcing him to return to her to recover it. After introducing Anakin to the team - Gillam was still in hiding - Marit revealed that she was the galactic politics expert for the group, helping them decide which missions to take based on their effectiveness in altering a political course of action. However, her resolve to the group was shaken when she accidentally shot and killed the leader of the planet Tierell. Gillam no longer had any faith in her, and planned to eliminate her as part of a plan to fake his own death and blame it on his father. Anakin and his Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, were able to thwart Gillam's plans. Marit, Gillam, and the entire team were expelled from the Leadership School and transported to Coruscant for questioning.

Dician
This dark-skinned woman, distinguished by the pale pattern of geometric tattoos that covered her face and neck, was one of the members of the Sith who existed on the planet Korriban, during the years following the Swarm War. Dician was among the new Sith who supported giving Alema Rar a false holocron, when the Twi'lek Dark Jedi traveled to Korriban to learn about Lumiya's plans for Jacen Solo. The holocron contained a tracking beacon, which gave Dician the knowledge that Alema Rar was working from a base on the MZX32905 System. She also learned that Alema Rar had learned to project a Force phantom, which prompted the other Sith Lords to provide Dician with the starship Poison Moon. She was dispatched to Alema Rar's asteorid base to eliminate her and recover any Sith artifacts or technology she might had acquired.
Upon arriving in the system, Dician and the crew of the Poison Moon encountered the Millennium Falcon, and Dician hoped to avoid being detected and possibly have a chance to destroy Leia Organa Solo as well. She ordered the shuttles carried by the Poison Moon to lay a series of explosive charges throughout the asteroid field, including many on Alema Rar's asteroid base, in order to eliminate the Dark Jedi. During this activity, her crew discovered the presence of the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship, leaving the system on a course that would take it to Ziost. Dician ordered Wayniss to follow the sphere, leaving orders for the shuttle crews to rendezvous at a large asteroid and await their return. They then traveled to Ziost to await Ship's arrival, but Dician was rebuffed by Ship, who refused to serve her while the Jedi Order continued to grow strong. Dician ordered her crew to leave the system and return to Korriban, gruffly explaining that Ship was no longer suitable for their needs.

Dielle, Renxis
This Padawan Jedi apprentice, along with Jedi Knights Plessus Ghon, Nygreena Clo and Ixian Rovieda, was killed on Kabal during a series of riots broke out when the Trade Federation overtaxed the planet for shipping. The taxation occurred just before the onset of the Clone Wars, and led to massive food shortages among the Kamarian people. The Jedi had been called in to quell the riots, when a fleet of supply ships loyal to Count Dooku and the Separatists began to drop food supplies to the populace. A scramble to obtain food ensued, and the Jedi were killed while trying to maintain the peace.

He was given the nickname Mapper by Joram Kithe, who was stranded on the planet with the platoon's survivors after the Separatist sprang a trap. The nickname, given to help Joram communicate with the troopers, was based on the fact that the clone trooper was digging shallow graves for his fallen comrades when Joram regained consciousness. It was later revealed to Joram that Digger and his platoon-mates were actually enhanced clones, having been given additional self-reliance and initiative during their development. These enhanced troops were dispatched with observers like Joram, in order to ensure the production of clone troopers was continued.

This Twi'lek female worked as a private investigator in the Cularin System, during the final decades of the Old Republic. She was known to her friends as Di'hal, and she spent a lot of her free time watching swoop races. Her contacts within the Cularin swoop racing community allowed her to investigate a number of cases of sabotage and cheating, and she was hired by the Talons gang to scope out the competition for the Cularin Classic race. This led her to the discovery of Mebara Jos' plans to cause violent trouble at the Cularin Classic, hoping to draw attention to herself by causing all manner of violence chaos during the swoop race. Unfortunately, Mebara Jos learned that Di'hal had stumbled upon her plans, and sent a group of thugs known as the Blood Raptors to kidnap her before she could break the story.
She was turned over to the Fireclaw Horde and held captive during the preparations for the Cularin Classic, which meant that she was disguised as a Duckonian in order to keep her close to her Togorian captors.

Dil, Celot Ratua
This Zelosian male was incarcerated at the Slashtown prison colony on Despayre, during the early years of the New Order. Known as Ratua to his friends, he was the son of Nagat Keris Ratua and his tertiary wife, Feelah Derin. At various points in his life, Ratua was a thief, a smuggler, and a scrounger, although he never made ends meet. He was captured by the authorities on Trigalis, when he was rounded up with a separate group of pirates, with whom he had been trading in stolen goods. The judge on Trigalis wanted to get the criminals to jail in the quickest way, and had the entire group placed on a cargo ship bound for Despayre.
On Despayre, Ratua chose to maintain a low profile, reasoning that the only way he would get hurt was to get noticed. Over time, he developed a small bartering network, using the small number of credits he earned to payoff the more dangerous prisoners. He also befriended Nova Stihl, who was amazed at his ability to anticipate attacks in hand-to-hand combat. Stihl often invited Ratua to join his self-defense classes, if only to take advantage of his abilities to prove a point to other students.
He managed to escape from the prison colony with the help of Brun, the Slashtown cargo boss, who managed to stow him away on cargo transport KJB-87. In this way, Ratua made his way to the first Death Star, which was being constructed in orbit over Despayre. Once onboard the station, he managed to stay out of trouble for a fair amount of time, eventually managing to scrounge up enough material to barter with the station's crew for food and water. Once he had obtained a fake identification card and could move about in public, he decided to visit one of the cantinas found on the station. At the Hard Heart Cantina, Ratua met Memah Roothes, and he was immediately taken by her beauty. He introduced himself by his real name, and even told her the truth about how he had arrived on the Death Star. She took his story as little more than smalltalk, and agreed to have a drink with him later.
Their relationship continued to grow, and Ratua spent more and more time at the Hard Heart Cantina. One visit turned dangerous when he ran into Nova Stihl and the bar, shortly after the destruction of Despayre. Stihl recognized him, and challenged his presence on the space station. Ratua reasoned that his sentence on the prison planet was finally completed, since there was no prison planet to return to. Memah convinced Stihl to leave them alone, and Stihl eventually agreed, keeping Ratua a free being for a while longer. Over the following days, the two beings found that their former friendship was stronger than their differences.
After the destruction of the planet Alderaan, Ratua began to wonder about his loyalties. He felt he would jump ship and join the Alliance, if the opportunity presented itself, especially after hearing that Memah would do the same. The opportunity presented itself in the form of assistance from Atour Riten, who agreed to help them steal a medical shuttle and escape. Ratua joined Nova Stihl and Rodo in fighting off a group of stormtroopers that were blocking their escape route. Although Riten was forced to remain on the Death Star, Ratua and the others were able to escape, just prior to the Death Star's destruction during the Battle of Yavin.
Once they were safely away, Ratua revealed to Memah that his family was quite rich, having made a fortune in property management. Ratua himself had been a member of the family business, but he had found it boring and decided to take up smuggling. She agreed to come to his home and meet his family, but joked that she was going to kill him for hiding this secret.

Dil, Cilia
This woman, a native of the planet Junction 5 some twenty-three years before the Battle of Geonosis, was charged with crimes against the state for her role in inciting rebellion against the Guardians. Just before Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi landed on the planet during another mission, Cilia Dil managed to escape from prison. The Jedi offered to help her in any way they could, and Cilia tentatively agreed. It was then that she revealed her plans to infiltrate Delaluna's Ministry of Offense and Defense in order to steal the plans for the Annihilator weapon. Although the Jedi agreed to help, the mission ultimately exposed the truth: there was no Annihilator weapon at all. The Guardians had used its perceived threat to remain in power, while the Delaluna government had used it to maintain a level of control over the natives of Junction 5. Cilia was thrust into the public forum as a hero, the woman who exposed the treachery of Lorian Nod and brought down the Guardians.

Dilanni
This yellow-skinned Felucian lived and worked in a small settlement that grew nysillin, during the final years of the Clone Wars. Dilanni was one of the few Felucians feared that the settlement was doomed, when a group of Weequay pirates began to extort protection money from the village leader, Casiss. Dilanni believed that the Felucians would never learn how to defend themselves, and resisted any attempt to learn more about protecting his people. Dilanni's pessimism continued even after Casiss hired a group of bounty hunters to help protect them, and grew deeper when Anakin Skywalker arrived on the planet and agreed to teach the Felucians how to fight for themselves.

Dilonexa System
This huge planetary system consisted of 40 planets. The inner twenty-two worlds were intensely-irradiated by the system's primary star, a gigantic blue-white fireball. The outer seventeen planets were too far away to receive any heat from the star, and were covered with frozen wastes. The middle planet, Dilonexa XXIII, was perfectly situated to allow life to exist.
(LCF)
Dilonexa XXIII
The middle planet in the Dilonexa System, Dilonexa XXIII was composed of large quantities of lighter elements. Thus, it had very few natural metals, and the inhabitants of the planet had to import them in massive quantities. Dilonexa XXIII was an agrarian world. However, there were very few bodies of water larger than a small lake, so the land had been cultivated into vast farms connected by irrigation systems. It was approximately 25,000 kilometers in diameter. Due to its large land masses, the planet used to be ravaged by huge, city-sized tornadoes that streaked around the entire planet. This required that a series of large weather-control satellites be launched into orbit, in order to keep the farms running without a major disaster each year.

This herb was native to the planet Gala, where it grew in the sea plains surrounding the Galacian Sea. In small quantities of raw leaves, it was harmless as a flavoring. When dried and used in larger or more regular quantities, it caused the user to becomed addicted. The user then wasted away as if from illness. In this way, dimilatis was used as a poison against Queen Veda, during her attempt to have her successor chosen via popular election.

Dimlurker
Found in the formation known as Kystes' Spine, on the planet Talus, this horrific predator was easily distinguished by its bone-white flesh. After generations of living beneath the surface, the dimlurker lacked true eyes, and often simply blundered into their prey. Although their primary diet was made up of the mosses and lichens that grew in the caves, dimlurkers would eat just about anything they encountered. Living prey was subdued by flailing their two limbs, which ended in bony knobs of chitin. The dimlurker then wrapped its flexible body around the prey to suffocate it, before swallowing it whole.

One of the two major civilizations established in the Sepan System, the Dimoks were deeply involved in a civil war with the Ripoblus when the Empire decided to intervene. The Dimok opposed the Imperial intrusion from the initial Imperial overtures, while the Ripoblus tended to side with the Empire. That all changed following a series of Imperial fleet maneuvers that tried to cow both sides. The Dimok eventually agreed to a cease-fire and an end to the Sepan Civl War, joining with the Ripoblus in an attempt to drive out the Imperial fleet. During the Corellia-GA War, the Ripoblus people decided to re-ignite the war by attacking the Dimok, believing that the Galactic Alliance would be too busy fighting the Confederation to worry about them.

A religion that grew out of the theory that the Bantha, being such a simple, easily-adaptiable creature, was the source of a hidden message from some all-powerful being. The priests of the Dim-U religion devoted their lives to searching for the Divine Bantha's message to the galaxy. Each priest carried a staff carved from the tusk of a bantha. At the top of the staff was a small carving of a bantha itself. A group of these priests brought banthas with them to Tatooine, as part of the first colony ship that arrived on the planet.

Din, J'fe
This holovid star was widely popular in the Larrin Sector, despite the Empire's best efforts to bring her down. Her most popular show, Starflash, provided viewers with a regular series of hair-raising adventures. In reality, J'fe and her producers were strong supporters of the Alliance, and sent out a variety of coded messages to Alliance agents in Larrin Sector during each episode. J'fe made sure that the messages were undetectable by the average viewer, but obvious to the agents who were looking for them. Many historians believe that J'fe and Starflash quickened the downfall of the Empire in Larrin Sector by a year or more. J'fe and her team later went on to produce Imperial Truth, a show which debuted after the Empire was forced out of Larrin Sector and which described the true nature of Emperor Palpatine's evil government.
(HR)
Din, Orgus
This bald-headed man was one of the many Jedi Masters who were forced to defend the Galactic Republic, during the final years of the Great Galactic War. Master Orgus, along with Lieutenant Tavus, led the task force that eliminated the Sith threat from the Minos Cluster, before returning to Coruscant. Their report to the Supreme Chancellor coincided with Lord Angral's attack on the capital world, and Orgus was forced to engage Angral in a lightsaber duel in order to prevent him from reaching the Senate. Angral managed to gain the upper hand during their fight, but a crashing starship sent them both flying into the air, as the shock wave knocked them from their feet. Orgus was unharmed by the blast, and escaped from Angral before heading to the Jedi Temple to warn them of the attack. Unfortunately, Lord Angral's forces had bombed the Jedi Temple as well, and Orgus feared that their were no survivors. Tavus suggested that they regroup with the Republic's forces and plan their next moves, so Orgus headed into the lower levels of the city to reach the military command center. He was separated from Tavus, but reached the command center just before a group of battle droids found it.
Although Orgus and the few Republic soldiers on duty were badly outmatched, they were saved when Tavus arrived behind the droids and destroyed them. However, the Sacking of Coruscant and the destruction of the Jedi Temple weighed heavily on Orgus' mind, because his current Padawan had been killed in the attack. Jedi Master Zym refused to let Orgus dwell on this, however, because another of his students was in trouble. Orgus and Lieutenant Tavus were sent to Balmorra to locate Fortis Gall, and along the way they discovered a life pod that contained Satele Shan. Shan revealed what she knew about the Sith attack on the Envoy, and demanded that they go back and attempt to rescue Master Dar'nala. Although Tavus explained that they were on a diplomatic mission, Master Orgus agreed that the mission seemed less diplomatic now that the Sith were attacking other approved missions. He decided to contact Master Zym to see if they should return to the site of the attack. Unfortunately, Master Zym revealed that he had received word of Master Dar'nala's execution by the Sith, and did not allow them to detour from their original mission. He also ordered them to collect Gall and travel to the planet Dantooine, where the Jedi were to assist the Republic's forces in honoring the cease-fire with the Sith.
After seeing the other Jedi off, Master Orgus returned to Balmorra, where he received an urgent transmission from Senator Am-Ris, requesting that Master Orgus travel to Nar Shaddaa and capture the bounty hunter Braden, who had been implicated the assassination of Master Zym. He was able to apprehend Braden in a cantina, but had to hold back from killing the man when Braden revealed that he knew who was behind the rebellious actions that were threatening the cease-fire established by the Treaty of Coruscant.

Din Nebula
This vast area of interstellar gases was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy, in the rough triangle formed by the planets Endor, Trindello, and Zorbia. It was known to the Ewoks as the Gorax King's Heart, and contained the Din Pulsar as well as a planet-sized diamond that was believed to have once been the core of a gas giant. During the supernova that created the Din Pulsar, the violent explosion apparently stripped a huge gas giant of all its atmosphere, exposing the diamond. This diamond created a huge mass shadow in hyperspace, making travel through the Din Nebula impossible.

Din Pulsar
This rapidly-spinning pulsar was located in the heart of the Din Nebula, found in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. The remains of a star which died more than 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, the Din Pulsar was originally named in Sanyassan art and songs, and the radiation it produced was believed to have been responsible for the genetic mutations that created the Marauder subrace. It was also believed that the explosion that created the Din Pulsar stripped the atmosphere from a huge gas giant, and left behind a planet-sized diamond.

Ding, Hanna
This haughty Arkanian girl was one of the many students of the Force who were being trained at the Jedi Academy on Coruscant, during the height of the Clone Wars. She resented the fact that Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy - otherwise known as Scout - took advantage of other options than the Force when faced with a challenge, especially when Scout used trickery and knowledge of another being's idiosyncracies to defeat them. Hanna and Scout met in the second round of the Apprentice Tournament, and Master Ilena Xan made them fight in the dark, so that they were forced to fight in a more "real-world" situation. Hanna was momentarily distracted when Scout chose to move into a fighting position among the students watching their match, and she tried to call foul. Scout responded by saying that, in the real world, innocent bystanders were everywhere. Master Xan was forced to agree with Scout, and Hanna pressed her advantages of size and her connection to the Force. She managed to pin Scout, but Scout refused to yield, claiming that the pain wasn't sufficient to quit. Just as Hanna was about to bring her lightsaber down on Scout's neck, Scout managed to roll her over and pin Hanna. In the confusion of the maneuver, Scout also managed to get a choke-hold on Hanna, and Hanna was forced to yield the match before she passed out. Although there was little friendship between them, Hanna confided to Scout that she feared being killed during the Clone Wars. She wanted the Jedi Order to persevere, but was afraid that her death would be wasted like so many others.

Dingory
This large creature, native to the planet Lan Barell, was the primary source of food for both the Qieg and the humans who lived on the planet. Although many dingory ranches could be found on the planet, the arid environment only allowed farmers to raise just enough dingories to feed the planet's population.
The average dingory was a hairless canine that lived in the cactus forests of Lan Barell. Despite the fact that modern dingories were raised as food for all Barellians, these creatures were the ancient rivals of the Qieg. Thus, all dingory farms were maintained by human ranchers, as a dingory would go into a wild frenzy if it caught the scent of a Qieg. The Qieg had an ancestral fear of these beasts, and so it was forbidden to bring dingories into the city of Shulell proper.

D'Ink, Dineas
This man was just 10 years old when the Sixty Hour War wiped out the city of Paran. His parents were killed in the assault, and he was taken in by the Empire. Imperial forces brainwashed him with propaganda, and D'Ink grew up believing in the righteousness of the New Order. At the age of sixteen, he was recruited by Tolamyn Cayble and joined the Imperial Security Bureau. A smug and self-centered man, D'Ink volunteered to go undercover and infiltrate the Friends of Paran. He gained the confidence of its members very quickly, saving their lives several times in brief struggles with Imperial forces. However, he later led Imperial forces directly to the Friends of Paran base in Knellis. He was cornered by the Alliance team supporting the Friends, and died in a brief but intense firefight. When he didn't report back to Cayble, Cayble believed that D'Ink was still trying to capture the rebels. This allowed the Friends of Paran and the Alliance team to escape Derilyn and destroy the Star Destroyer Brazen.

Dinko
A revolting animal which was small enough to fit in the palm of a human hand, dinkoes were native to the planet Proxima Dibal I. They had powerful rear legs, four arms, and glittering fangs. The rear legs had thick, serrated barbs on them, that allowed the dinko to grasp its prey while it attacked it. A dorsal vane served to dissipate excess body heat, and the spine that supported it was used to lodge in the throat of a potential predator. They also had a noxious fluid that could be squirted at a threat from a specialized scent gland, and were considered poisonous. Han Solo gave a dinko named Fang to Ploovo Two-For-One as a "gift" following a run he did for Ploovo. Attached to the Dinko was the Cash Voucher that paid for Ploovo's expenses.

Dinko
This was the codename of a man who was a member of the Samarian resistance, during the early months of the New Order. Dinko was dispatched to meet Ferus Olin, after Olin was instructed by Emperor Palpatine to offer the resistance a chance to cease their operations. Dinko revealed to Ferus that the rebels had managed to insert hidden programming into Bog Divinian's PD unit, in an effort to intercept any communications that might point out Divinian's true intentions. When The rebels agreed to help Ferus get Robbyn Sark to safety, Dinko was captured by Sathan agents while trying to ensure their escape.

Dinlo
Located along the border between the Expansion Region of the galaxy and Bothan space, this planet saw heavy fighting about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. It was here that Jedi Knight Etain Tur-Mukan staged a daring rescue of more than 1,000 clone troopers, after the Separatist forces on the planet began to advance on the Republic's position. Much of the planet's surface was covered with forests and fertile plains.

Dinn, Nelani
This willowy woman, distinguished by her long, black ponytail and her non-traditional garb, was one of the many Jedi Knights who trained under Master Luke Skwalker's new Jedi Order, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. As a student, she showed little promise for several years, before suddenly achieving a strong connection to the Force. During her training, she learned lightsaber combat techniques from Jacen Solo, and developed an attraction to him. Nelani achieved the rank of Knight, and was assigned to the Jedi outpost on Lorrd, some ten years after the war ended, and it was there that Jacen Solo sought her out during his investigation into the death of Siron Tawaler. It was Nelani who directed Jacen to Doctor Heilan Rotham, when he explained to her about the collection of knotted strands that were found near Tawaler's post on Centerpoint Station. The two Jedi were then called to assist the Lorrd Security Force with the suicide bomber, Ordith Huarr. While Nelani tried to peacefully talk to the man, Jacen tried to disable Huarr's weapons-laden Y-Wing. While Nelani and Jacen argued over this sudden action, Huarr set off his explosives and killed himself. While she couldn't understand Jacen's motives, she was impressed when his apprentice, Ben Skywalker, was able to locate a shuttle that fled Toryaz Station in the wake of Tawaler's death. They tracked the owner of the shuttle, Brisha Syo, back to her asteroid home in the MZX32905 System, where Syo revealed that she was actually the Dark Jedi known as Lumiya. Rather than have Jacen seduced by Lumiya, Nelani tried to cut her down with her lightsaber. In the ensuing struggle, Lumiya and Nelani traded blows while Lumiya taunted Jacen. Ultimately, Jacen did something that Nelani had not anticipated: he attacked her, instead of Lumiya. Jacen explained that his visions of the future involved strange deflections whenever she entered the picture, and that she needed to be eliminated. Jacen then ruthlessly stabbed his lightsaber through her chest, killing her almost instantly.

Dinnid, Oph Nar
This Lyunesi communcations handler was working for one of the Narrant System's major liege-holder clans, and as a direct interpretor for the supreme leader of the clan, when he fell into a hypererotic, passionate relationship with the leader's alpha concubine. Their relationship was discovered when, at a clan ceremony re-affirming the oaths of some several thousand sublieges, the screen separating the main dias from a smaller subchamber was accidentally brought down. Dinnid and the concubine were exposed, in front of the supreme liege-lord and his sworn followers. The Lyunesi managed to escape, invoking the wrath of the Narrant liege-lord, who put out a huge bounty on the comm handler's head. Dinnid, however, was well-prepared to pay for his freedom. He had memory augmenters implanted in his brain, filled with information on the Narrant System's business operations. The memory circuits were rigged to a series of implants that allowed it to be extracted over a long period of time. Any tampering with the splint would result in a complete wipe of the data, not to mention Dinnid's death. This ensured Dinnid's long-term value to his new employer. Dinnid sought refuge with the Shell Hutts, who hoped to gain a foothold in the Narrant System and take over business there. However, Dinnid was exterminated by Gheeta in a fit of rage before the information could be extracted, and before the bounty on his head could be collected by Boba Fett. Gheeta then received a lesser sum from the Narrant System liege-lords upon proof of Dinnid's death.

This obese, Imperial politician was known to have sympathies for the Alliance. He was wanted to capture by the local Imperial garrison in Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. He was captured by Nok Derrick, though, and the Imperial officers feared that any attempt to recover Dionisio would force Derrick to kill him first. So, Nima Maas hired Greedo to locate Dionisio, hoping that a covert attempt would work. Greedo managed to succeed in rescuing Dionisio, and gave the politician a chance to escape when he was forced to kill Nima Maas to save his own green skin.

Diori, Bana Besadii
This Hutt was one of the primary investors in the construction of the Shelter base, in the remnants of the Maw Installation, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. A cousin of Randa, Bana joined Lando Calrissian and Han Solo in helping to create the first outpost along Luke Skywalker's Great River because he believed that, in return, the Jedi would help the Hutts restore their control over Hutt Space.
(EVR)
Diori, Borga Besadii
This Hutt was considered the most powerful of the Hutts, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Borga was ostensibly the leader of the Hutt kajidics, and so it fell to him to try and negotiate a treaty with the Yuuzhan Vong. Borga started making deals with the Yuuzhan Vong commander, Malik Carr, and his intermediary Pedric Cuf. Borga resented the efforts of the Peace Brigade, since they were counteractive to the deals he tried to make. During these negotiations, Borga leaked information to the New Republic that she was trying to play the Yuuzhan Vong on both sides of the table, hoping to gain their confidence while providing the Republic with information on their movements in Hutt Space. Borga pledged to support Malik Carr and the Yuuzhan Vong, allowing them to stage the next phase of the invasion from Hutt Space. In return, Borga was given information on which worlds would be attacked next, allowing her to profit from the attacks. However, Nas Choka recognized Borga's treachery, and decided to end the charade immediately. He quickly subjugated Nal Hutta and began terraforming to to the needs of the Yuuzhan Vong. Borga and many other Hutts were able to escape Nal Hutta, and were forced to live in exile for the duration of the war.
(HT, JE, NJOSB)
Diori, Randa Besadii
This young Hutt was the offspring of Borga the Hutt, and supported Borga's attempts to form an alliance with the Yuuzhan Vong. It was believed that the Yuuzhan Vong wanted Randa to offer assistance to the New Republic in helping transport refugees, thereby providing the aliens with a steady supply of prisoners. However, Randa was eventually convinced to use the alliance with the Yuuzhan Vong to his own advantage, and soon provided the New Republic with any information he received from the aliens. Unfortunately for the Republic, Randa unwitting supplied false information, which led to the debacle at the Battle of Fondor. However, Randa was rescued from the Yuuzhan Vong by Kyp Durron, who had been asked by Wurth Skidder to rescue the Hutt. Randa pledged his support to the New Republic, as a way of honoring the sacrifice made by Skidder. Like many other refugees, Randa was stranded on Duro, where he tried to bargain with the Yuuzhan Vong for the safety of Nal Hutta by trying to hand over a Jedi to the aliens. He tried to convince both Jaina and Jacen Solo that he was starting his own vigilante force, but neither wanted anything to do with the Hutt, despite his pledge to avenge Skidder's death. Randa told Jacen that he wanted to become a pirate chieftain, modeling his operations after Kyp Durron and the vigilantes known as Kyp's Dozen. The younger Solos proved intractible to the Hutt, but Randa later discovered that Leia Organa-Solo might prove easier to capture. Randa later revised his plans, hoping to turn Leia over to the Yuuzhan Vong's leadership, thereby gathering them on Duro so that the New Republic could capture them. When Tsavong Lah landed on Duro and discovered Randa's duplicity, he had the Hutt imprisoned for later sacrifice. Randa found himself in the company of Leia Organa-Solo, who refused to believe his support for the New Republic. Despite her rebuff, Randa ultimately gave his life to save Leia, Jaina, when they were presented to Tsavong Lah as sacrifices. Randa tried to kill the warmaster and his priestess, Vaecta, by smashing them with his tail. His diversion was meant to allow Leia chance to escape. Vaecta quickly sent a tkun to attack Randa, and the crimson-furred creature quickly suffocated the Hutt. Leia, however, could not escape, and was recaptured by Nom Anor.

Dip and Waffle
This was an evasive manuever that many smugglers and independent spacers put to use during the height of the New Order, in an effort to avoid multiple waves of pursuing Imperial patrol ships. By taking their ship into a slight "downward" trajectory, a pilot could bring the rear wave of ships into a position where they could be fired upon by gunners who were stationed in the upper weapons emplacements. Then, after getting off several shots at the rear wave, the ship was put through a series of waffling maneuvers, in which the pilot slewed his ship from side to side as well as up and down, allowing the enemy fire from the rear wave of ships to pass around the targetted vessel. More often than not, this waffling maneuver allowed the pilot's ship to escape unharmed, while allowing the enemy fire to crash into the unsuspecting ships of the first wave.

Directional Transponder
This device was used by armies and other ground-based military units to determine their location on a battlefield. The display panel showed the surrounding terrain, and could pinpoint the user's location, as well as the positions of other units. However, the directional transponder required a good deal of prior programming and data input in order to accurately describe battlefield conditions, making it impractical for use in the heat of battle. Thus, its usefulness was limited to well-planned, important battles that occurred in well-known territory that could be holo-mapped ahead of time.

Director
This device was used by slavers to control a group of slaves. These highly-illegal devices attached to a slaver's line and used the line's circuits to delivery impulses to individual slaves or to the entire group. The strength of the impulse was set on the director, which often was also equipped with a deadman switch. This deadman switch prevented slaves from revolting and trying to grab the director, as it sent a deadly shock through the slaving collars if the slaver didn't keep the switch closed.

This was the monicker adopted by the three Squibs - Grees, Emala, and Sligh - in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Directors established a working relationship with the Killiks of the Colony, brokering a number of import and export deals and skimming a percentage of the profits for themselves. They also established relationships within the Galactic Alliance. In this way, the Squibs were able to make a substantial profit from the war, double-billing for shipments and playing both sides off ech other. It was discovered that the Directors were supplying transport vessels to those Killiks who were to take part in a series of military coups on the homeworlds of various insectile races of the Galactic Republic, although the plan was discovered by Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo. Only Thyferra was affected, and the Squibs lost a great deal of money when their ships were destroyed before they could land. The Squibs then swore vengeance, threatening to kill Jaina Solo before coming after Han and Leia.

It was commanded by Captain Rensen, who was ordered by Krennel to raze the village which was home to a person who attempted to assassinate Krennel. Rensen refused the order, and was executed. Command of the ship was then turned over to Commander Darron, on the condition that he raze the village. Later, during the defense of Liinade III, Darron was forced to surrender the Direption in order to avoid losing the ship entirely, when the New Republic's forces pummelled Darron's fleet.

Diresto, Popara Anjiliac
This Hutt was known for his keen mind and business acumen, as well as for the gentler rod he used to keep his minions under control. Popara was recognized by his large body, which was mottled with patches of gray skin, and his wide eyes, which seemed to take in everything around him. Popara preferred to use other beings to do his dirty work, taking whatever action was necessary to protect himself against injury. The base for Popara's operations was located in Anjiliac Towers, on the moon of Nar Shaddaa. The primary enterprise of Popara's organization was smuggling, and he made it a point never to deal in slaves - although he owned several himself. During the early years of the New Order, Popara was well into his ninth century of life when he learned that his youngest child, Mika, had been stranded on Endregaad when a plague broke out on the planet. Fearing for Mika's life, Popara called in a debt from a group of freelance agents, hiring them to rescue Mika. Unknown to Popara, Mika was the creator and source of the tempest spice. All Popara knew was that the tempest was taking away huge profits from the sales of other forms of spice, and wanted to find out where it came from. Popara was also unaware that his elder offspring, Zonnos, was angry about Popara's concern for Mika, and wanted his sibling eliminated. He called in the freelance agents again, requesting their help in eliminating tempest and finding the being who was behind the attempt on Mika's life. Shortly after hiring the agents, Popara died from food poisoning in a messy event, as his body swelled to twice its normal size before exploding into hundreds of pieces. The poison was actually a deadly concoction created by Mika himself.

Dir'Nul, Vydel
This woman was a Jedi Knight who was dispatched to locate the serial killer known only as Kardem during the height of the Clone Wars. Dir'Nul had refused the promotion to General in the Army of the Republic when the Clone Wars broke out, stating that she wasn't interested in becoming a "walking weapon at the beck and call of self-serving politicians." Besides, she explained, she was getting closer to catching Kardem. She had taken the assignment after Kardem had killed her first love, a pilot named Ash B'risko. Kardem then killed three Twi'lek females, and all four victims bore the marks of having been killed by a lightsaber and destroyed by Force lightning. Dir'Nul was unable to stop the death of a fourth Twi'lek on Perilious, but it was on the Outer Rim world that the truth of Kardem's identity was exposed. Kardem was actually Vydel Dir'Nul, who had slipped over to the Dark Side of the Force when she discovered that Ash B'risko had taken a Twi'lek female as a lover. In her jealousy, Dir'Nul killed B'risko, then set out to avenge her loss by killing Twi'lek females. Another Jedi was dispatched to bring her in, but she killed him as well, adding a Jedi to Kardem's growing list of victims. As she snapped out of her strange possession, Dir'Nul discovered the body of the Jedi and vowed to continue her search for Kardem.

Disac Pirates
This group of pirates made a living along the Sisar Run, until the Nalroni crimelord Sprax decided to have his forces eliminate them. Sprax requested that Ket Maliss - who was working directly for Prince Xizor - take on the job, and the bounty hunter was extremely successful in eliminating Stano Hapin and his followers. However, the survivors remained dedicated to the original goals of Hapin, and became outwardly known as a brutal group of individuals. In reality, the survivors were quite well-organized, and were secretly working as smugglers for the Besadii Clan. While this seemed to be a cut-and-dried deception, the pirates were actually working for Durga the Hutt, who was another of the Black Sun vigos.

Discblade
This unusual weapon, developed by the Zeison Sha warriors, was a flat disc that had a razor-shape edge. The discblade was imbued with the Force, so that it rarely missed its target and always returned to the thrower's hand after an attack. The outer edge of the discblade was formed by four thin blades. Handgrips on the top and bottom allowed the wielder to hold and throw the discblade.
(SWI68, EGF)
Disch'l
This Ithorian was one of the handful of Dark Jedi who joined the Believers, during the final years of the Old Republic. Disch'l was chosen to work with Crymsin Ost and Eph to ensure that the Caarite-killing virus that had been developed by the Believers was delivered to Caarimon, where it was to be deployed into the lower levels of the atmosphere. They were also working with the noted assassin, Melo Centris, who had been chosen to lead the mission. The group was trapped aboard the Creautaa-V space station in orbit over the Desolation by a group of freelance agents who had been hired by the Cularin Militia to put a stop their mission. Disch'l was adept at creating illusory images of other beings, a skill that he used to confuse the freelance agents into striking at targets that didn't exist. The Believers were ultimately captured and held for questioning about the attempted genocide, although they refused to answer any of the questions. Instead, Disch'l and his companions simply clicked their teeth. It was later discovered that this clicking activated a subdermal poison capsule hidden in their Believer tattoos, killing them before they could be coerced into revealing any more information.

Disciple, The
This man was one of the survivors of the Sith attack on his homeworld of Dantooine, during the years following the Great Sith War. He was known among his people as a healer and medic, and served the Old Republic as a historian and scientist. Unlike many of his fellow natives, the Disciple was attracted to the Jedi Order and its teachings, and actually trained with the Jedi Enclave before the onset of the Jedi Civil War. After the Jedi Enclave was destroyed by Darth Malak, the Disciple left Dantooine to seek out any surviving Jedi. When he returned to Dantooine, he was discovered within the ruins of the Jedi Enclave by The Exile and his party, although he declined the chance to join their group. Upon recognizing The Exile as his former teacher, it was revealed that The Disciple's true name was Mical.
(KOTOR2, LAWS)
Disciples of Ragnos
This militant cult of practitioners of the Dark Side of the Force came to the forefront some ten years after the Battle of Endor. The Disciples based their principles on the Sith teachings of Marka Ragnos, the Dark Lord of the Sith who had died some 5,000 years earlier. The first rumors of their existence were heard on Corellia and Tatooine, and their existence was confirmed when they managed to infiltrate a Jedi tomb on Chandrila and unleash a mutated rancor on Taanab. Led by Tavion Axmis, the Disciples of Ragnos were originally formed by those Dark Jedi who survived the destruction of the Reborn. Thus, the Disciples became known as the new New Republic. They traveled to specific planets across the galaxy, siphoning Force energy to augment the power of the device known as the Scepter of Ragnos. After stealing information from the computers at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, the Disciples stole energy from planets like Corellia, Hoth, and Tatooine before focusing their efforts on the planet Vjun, the former stronghold of Darth Vader. The cult was eventually eliminated by Jaden Korr, who managed to defeat Tavion on Korriban and relegate Ragnos back to the spirit world.

Discord
This was the designation of a light cruiser that was supposedly part of the Separatist force that was dispatched to the planet JanFathal, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The Separatists had backed the union rebels who were leading the Workers' Uprising, and the Discord was part of the fleet that was sent to ensure the Republic did not try to interfere. When contact with the warship Leveler was determined, the Discord was charged with breaking away from the main fleet to investigate its presence in the Fath System. However, the Discord transponder signal was a decoy, used to hide the ship's true nature from the Leveler's crew until it was too late for them to escape into hyperspace. In reality, the ship was a fully-armed destroyer designated as the Reaper.
(CWNOP)
Discord Missile
The discord missile was the specialized missile used by Separatist starfighters to deploy buzz droids into a combat zone. Because buzz droids lacked the huge thrusters of normal starships, they were launched at a target inside the missile, which didn't explode on impact. Rather, it cracked open, allowing its payload of buzz droids to lock onto the target starship and begin their work. Each discord missile had several fins, used both for stability and maneuverability, that allowed the discord missile to fly at incredible speeds through the tightest of turns. This agility, coupled with a thruster system that allowed it to keep up with any manned starship, made discord missiles nearly impossible to avoid.

Discril-class Attack Cruiser
This warship was built on the planet Daupherm, for use in the Daupherm defense fleet. The Discril-class measured 85 meters in length, and required a crew of 150 with 51 gunners. It could also transport up to 60 troops and 7,800 metric tons of cargo. It was armed with five turret-mounted laser cannons, four tri-particle beamers, and three tri-laser cannons.

Disim
This tropical planet was a twin to the planet Iri, and was located in the Epidimi System. Like its twin, Disim was covered with dense forests and humid rainforests. The system was discovered by the Old Republic some 5,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, and discovered that both worlds had produced species of avians which had similar genetic structures. The Old Republic explorers tried to get the two species to mate, in an attempt to verify their genetic compatability. The experiment was a success, and a new species was created from the union of the two. However, the new species flourished while the two parent species died out. This new species, known as the Tarongs, now dominates both worlds.

Disra, Vilim
This Imperial Moff survived the Battle of Endor, the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, and the debacle of Admiral Daala, steadfastly holding onto the Braxant and Bastion Sectors and a small contingent of subordinates. Earlier in his career, Disra served as the chief adminstrator of the Shelsha Sector of the galaxy, working foir Governor Barshnis Choard. In this position, Dirsa' primary duties were often non-governmental, and included served as the Governor's liaison to the BloodScar Pirates. He was also working behind the scenes to eliminate the resistance in Shelsha Sector, by secretly meeting with Yeeru Chivkyrie and convincing the Adarian rebel that Governor Choard was planning to secede from the Empire.
Disra's plan was to based on Chivkyrie inviting a high-ranking member of the Alliance to Shelkonwa, but he was more than pleased when the Adarian introduced him to none other than Princess Leia Organa herself. Unfortrunately, Princess Leia figured out that Disra recognized her, forcing him to close the spaceports in an effort to prevent her escape. With Makrin City secured, Disra then called in Darth Vader to set the rest of his plan into motion, hoping to gain favor with the Emperor's agent by exposing Governor Choard's plans for secession.
These plans were eventually smashed when Mara Jade captured and arrested Choard herself, and Princess Leia managed to escape the planet. Disra found himself the object of an intense investigation into the treachery on Shelkonwa, and although he willingly gave up his information to Vader, he spent many years restoring himself to power.
Ten years after the death of Thrawn, Disra found himself in a position which allowed him to rise to power. He had been funneling Imperial credits into building a fleet of Preybird-class starfighters manufactured by Zothip and the Cavrilhu pirates. Disra supplemented the cost of the Preybirds by supplying Zothip with cloned soldiers from Imperial stores. Then, using Flim - an actor who strongly resembled Thrawn - Disra quickly took control of several parts of the remaining Imperial fleet.

Disruptor
A type of blaster which fires in a wide pattern, dirsuptors were illegal in most parts of the galaxy because they reduced solid matter to its constituent molecules. The internal components of a disruptor differed from those of a standard blaster in that they were stronger and able to produce a much more powerful beam of energy. Coupled with the specialized galven pattern in the barrel, this set of components created a beam of energy that could literally disintegrate durasteel plates. All this power came with a price, however. A disruptor usually drained a standard power pack after just five shots, and there was a five-second recycle time between shots in order to prevent overheating.

Distant Rainbow
A Starwind-class pleasure ship belonging to Mazzic, the Distant Rainbow was heavily modified, and served as Mazzic's mobile base. It was originally owned by a Rodian smuggler who sold it to Mazzic when he retired. Mazzic got a great deal on the vessel, mainly because the Rodian had no idea what he was going to do with it. The existing weaponry was eliminated in favor of a pair of quad laser turrets, mounted top and bottom along the same lines as the Millennium Falcon. Additionally, Mazzic installed upgraded repulsorlift engines and enhanced electronic countermeasures suites. He also made the Distant Rainbow as comfortable as a smuggling ship could be, although the Starwind's small size made quarters quite cramped when the ship was fully loaded. It could accommodate up to ten passengers and two metric tons of cargo, and required a crew of five to operate.

Div
This was the alias adopted by Lune Divinian, during the height of the New Order. With the rise of the Empire, Lune and his family were forced to go into hiding, since they had been implicated in the events surrounding Ferus Olin. They believed that they were safe, but Imperial forces located their safe house and razed it to the ground. Astri, along with Clive Flax and Trever Flume, were killed in the attack, and Lune only just managed to escape. However, the part of him that was Lune had died with his mother, forcing him to abandon his training in the ways of the Force and take up the mantel of a pilot and mercenary. He took on the alias of Div, and did his best to embrace his new life. His connection to the Force gave him an edge in his new endeavors, allowing him to be one step ahead of the beings he encountered.
Div traveled the galaxy in a specially-modified Firespray-class patrol vessel, which became more than just a ship over the years. His skills as a pilot earned him the notice of the Imperial agent known as X-7, who invited Lune and several other pilots to a meeting near Iope. There, X-7 engaged the pilots in a series of dogfights, scaring away or eliminating all but Div and three other pilots. Because of his skills, Div was placed in charge of the others, including Clea Sook, Fallon Pollo, and Grish B'reen. Their initial attempt to apprehend Skywalker came when the rebel was discovered near the planet Kamino. Div and the others ambushed Skywalker's small group of X-Wings, driving two off and forcing the others to the watery surface of the planet. Unfortunately, Div's Firespray took heavy damage from returning fire, and he was forced to splash down into the water. Without any form of flotation device, the Firespray sank beneath the waves, although Div was able to reach safety at Research City.
Once safe, Div managed to locate Clea Sook and Grish B'reen, and the group set out to search for other survivors. They ran into Skywalker and Han Solo, and Div had to force B'reen to calm himself before the Chistori killed both of the rebels. He reminded B'reen that they were mercenaries, not assassins, and that they should all work together to get off Kamino, so that they could settle their differences as pilots in space. It was during this exchange that Clea Sook managed to sneak up behind Div and place a blaster to his head, but she never got a chance to carry through with her threat to kill him. The creature that Imperial scientists had been developing at Research City attacked them, killing B'reen and Sook before turning its attention to Div and Luke. Both men were swallowed whole by the creature, although they were not immediately killed. Instead, they were stored in a special pouch inside the creature's body, and then transported to an underwater grotto. There, the creature disgorged them, and Luke and Div were forced to work together to form an escape plan. The creature returned before they could devise a plan, prompting Luke to draw his lightsaber. The creature knocked the weapon from Luke's hands, and Div quickly picked it up and used it to kill the beast. When Luke questioned his skills with the lightsaber, Div tried to shrug it off as nothing more than another bladed weapon.
The two men were able to discover that the creature's internal pouch was intact, and used it as a type of protective bubble to help them escape from the creature's underwater lair. With the help of Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Leia Organa, they were able to fly away from Kamino and return to Yavin 4. On the small moon, Div was held captive, because of his role in the attacks at Kamino. He refused to reveal who his employer was, despite several pleas from Luke to help the Alliance discover the employer's identity.

Diversity Alliance
This loose, political extremist group was formed by Nolaa Tarkona, who convinced several non-human races to band together against the perceived injustices they had suffered at the hands of humankind. Formed about fourteen years after the Battle of Endor, the Diversity Alliance outwardly fought for the freedom of all non-human races. However, Tarkona had no plans to live in peace with humans, even if there was some kind of agreement on alien rights. Instead, Tarkona demanded the extermination of the human race, and launched an attempt to acquire the Emperor's Plague.
The roots of the Diversity Alliance were developed on the planet Ryloth, where Tarkona smashed the male-dominated system of head clans and took control of the planet. She virtually eliminated the slave trade on the planet, focusing much of her efforts on ensuring the freedom of female Twi'leks who might otherwise have been sold off as dancers. She also cleaned up the excavation, processing, and distribution of ryll, although she used most of the profits from these operations to fund the Diversity Alliance, rather than distributing the profits to the Twi'lek populations.
The headquarters of the Diversity Alliance were based on Ryloth, but Tarkona and her chief lieutenants recruited members from a variety of non-human races. Tarkona's speeches focused on the atrocities committed by Emperor Palpatine, but she also noted several grievances against the New Republic. For example, Tarkona wanted to know why the New Republic refused to punished the surviving Imperials for the enslavement of Wookiees. She also wondered why the New Republic's leaders had not continued the Alliance's campaign to elevate all races to positions of equality.
As her plans came closer to fruition, Tarkona began using the members of the Diversity Alliance to achieve her own goal of eraditcating humanity. Any being, regardless of race or species, would suffer if they impeded Tarkona's plans, which included using the Emperor's Plague to wipe out humans. Her followers found themselves worrying about their own lives, even as they wondered about the fate of the galaxy. Many of the alien races she visited openly questioned her goals, and wondered if the Diversity Alliance would also campaign against the atrocities committed by aliens on humans. Ultimately, the Diversity Alliance broke up in the wake of Tarkona's disappearance and subsequent death, as its members learned that they had all been little more than pawns in her bid for galactic power.

Divini, Kornell
This young man, a native of the planet Tatooine, was one of the many youthful surgeons who were pressed into military duty during the height of the Clone Wars. Known as Uli to his friends - a shortened form of the term uli-ah - he was the latest in a long family history of doctors, reaching back several generations. His father, grandfather, and great-grandfather all had a practice together, but Uli wanted to leave the nest and see the galaxy.
He trained at Coruscant Medical Hospital before doing a year of internship and a year of residency at the Galactic Polysapient medical center. At the tender age of just nineteen, he was given the rank of Lieutenant despite his lack of medical training, and was immediately dispatched to the planet Drongar to fill the place of Zan Yant. Although the rest of the staff at Rimsoo Seven had their misgivings, Uli quickly adapted to the life of a battle surgeon, and became a valuable member of their staff.
Uli managed to survive the Clone Wars, and continued to practice medicine for many years. However, he found himself stuck in the Imperial military when the Galactic Empire was formed, and was unable to establish his own private practice. Uli was assigned to the medical frigate Medstar Four during the construction of the first Death Star, serving under Commander Hotise. His tenure aboard the medical frigate was cut short when rebel attacks on the Death Star caused damage and injury to the command crew and slave workers. Without recourse, Uli was shipped off to the space station, where he became the primary surgeon in the Sector N-1 section of the Death Star.
Although he initially was assigned to repair the damage caused by construction accidents, Commander Hotise soon made Uli take on more mundane cases. This angered him at first, since Uli believed that it was a waste of his skills as a surgeon. This new line of work brought him into contact with several new people and prisoners on the Death Star's detention levels, including Nova Stihl and Princess Leia Organa. Stihl's case was interesting, since his cells exhibited a higher-than-normal midi-chlorian count. It was Uli who told Leia about the dissolution of the Imperial Senate, and her passion for the rebels who fought against the Empire struck a chord with Uli. She reminded him of Barriss Offee, and he found himself suddenly wishing to help her. When Darth Vader arrived to interrogate the Princess, Uli wished that he had had a weapon, as he would have shot the Dark Lord and given Leia a chance to escape.
After the destruction of the planet Alderaan, Uli began to wonder about his loyalties. He felt in his heart that he would jump ship and join the Alliance, if the opportunity presented itself. He agreed to work with a group of beings to escape, guided by Atour Riten's plans to acquire a shuttle. However, just prior to the Battle of Yavin, Uli was arrested by Imperial security officers who had tracked his investigation into Nova Stihl's mid-chlorian counts. Luckily, a surface detonation caused an explosion near his office, separating him from the officers. Uli set off at a run, to meet his friends at the rendezvous point.
Once there, the group had to get past several security troops. Thinking quickly, Uli identified himself as a surgeon, and the others as the medical team that was leaving the Death Star to save the life of Admiral Daala. This excuse was enough for the security team, which allowed them to board the shuttle and leave the station. They managed to escape by the skin of their teeth, and they set off to join the Alliance. Uli hoped that there would be a place for him as a battle surgeon.
(MJH, SWI96, DSTR)
Divinian, Bog
A native of the planet Nuralee, this man married Astri Oddo sometime before the Battle of Naboo. He fancied himself an important man, and worked hard to get himself noticed by the politicos of the Old Republic. He eventually earned a position on the board of the Galactic Games, working to coordinate the Games on the plane Euceron some six years after the Battle of Naboo. He hoped to use the experience, as well as the contacts he made, to make a bid to serve as Nuralee's Senator to the Old Republic.
However, Bog's ability to make these contacts was only as good as his work, which was simply to provide seating arrangements for the various Old Republic Senators who had traveled to Euceron to witness the Games. Because of this, Bog was implicated in the illegal gambling schemes surrounding the Games by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, who matched his seating charts to the betting receipts they found in Uso Yso's records. However, it was revealed that the betting was part of elaborate scheme to discredit several Old Republic Senators, and Bog was cleared of any charges. Unfortunately for the Jedi, he also covered for Liviani Sarno and Maxo Vista, refusing to disobey the orders of a superior in the hopes of earning praise and promotion.
While Bog explained to Astri that he would eventually do good things when he became a Senator, Obi-Wan realized that Bog was already in the clutches of the Commerce Guild. Within a short while after Astri gave birth to their first child, a son named Lune, Bog managed to become a Senator himself, winning an election on Nuralee and providing the Commerce Guild within another sympathetic ear in the Senate. As a Senator, Bog became something of an apprentice to Sano Sauro, who introduced Divinian to the schemes of Granta Omega. With their covert backing, Bog began speaking out against the Jedi Order, twisting certain events to make it appear as if the Jedi Knights were only acting in their own best interests. He even brought in Roy Teda, the deposed ruler of Romin, to speak out against the Jedi.
In order to ensure that the plans of Granta Omega and Sano Sauro were not revealed to the Jedi, Bog warned his wife that she was not to speak to her old friend, Obi-Wan Kenobi, or he would take their son away from here. Astri, however, turned over a set of datadisks to Obi-Wan, which she had copied from his personal recorder. The disks revealed that Bog's part in the plans of Granta Omega was to nominate Sano Sauro for the position of Supreme Chancellorship, after the rest of the criminals kidnapped and then executed Chancellor Palpatine. The plan was ultimately foiled, when Granta and Jenna Zan Arbor were forced to flee Coruscant under the pursuit of the Jedi. Their plans to kill the Chancellor and many Senators was hatched nonetheless, and the Jedi were forced to fight hundreds of seeker droids in the Senate chambers to prevent their deaths.
In the wake of the attack, Bog's proposal for eliminating support for the Jedi Order was soundly defeated, with even Sano Sauro voting against it. For all intents and purposes, Bog Divinian's political career was destroyed, and even his supporters back on Nuralee refused to continue with their endorsement of him. Despite this setback, Divinian was able to insinuate himself into Sano Sauro's good graces, and was named an Imperial Advisor when Sauro became one of Emperor Palpatine's closest aides. His tenure, however, was dependent on his ability to recover his son, Lune, who was to become one of the first Force-sensitive children to teach Imperial pilots.
When Lune escaped with his mother, Astri Oddo, Divinian was forced to once again earn the Emperor's trust. He set in motion a plot to discredit Robbyn Sark and the Roshan delegates who traveled to Samaria to discuss a trade agreement, staging an assassination attempt involving a pair of Roshan droids he had acquired. The plan nearly failed when Trever Flume managed to steal Divinian's PD unit during the "assassination," but Bog was able to turn this change of events to his advantage. He used the circumstances to engineer a vote of no-confidence against Prime Minister Aaren Larker, then used a sympathy vote to get elected to replace Larker. As part of the Emperor's plan to sow further distrust, his first action as Prime Minister was to outlaw the PD units that most Samarians used on a daily basis.
Divinian was also at the forefront of the plan to invade Rosha and take control of the planet. With the backing of an Imperial fleet commanded by Darth Vader, the Samarians invaded Rosha with ruthless attacks, and Divinian was later named the leader of both Samaria and Rosha by Emperor Palpatine himself. Despite the fact that he had been promoted the position of Imperial Governor in control of a system of planets in the Core Worlds, Bog felt that he had nothing. Rosha was in ruins, Samaria was under Imperial control, and his son was missing. He began to blame Astri for all his problems, regardless of whether or not she has been involved.
However, in his position as Governor, Bog found that he had more resources at his disposal to recover his son. When Lune was captured on Bellassa, Bog allowed him to be sent off to the Imperial Naval Academy on Coruscant. There, he gave permission for Lune to be taken out of the school and turned over to Jenna Zan Arbor.

Divinian, Lune Oddo
This young boy was the son of Bog Divinian and Astri Oddo, born shortly after the Battle of Naboo. After his father was elected Senator from the planet Nuralee, Lune spent a great deal of time with his grandfather, Dido Oddo. As a child, Lune exhibited certain strange abilities, which Astri discovered were the result of Lune's connection to the Force. She did her best to hide his talents from Bog, but one day he managed to witness one of Lune's abilities. Just before the Clone Wars, Astri left Bog and fled with Lune to Samaria, where she was able to start her life over. However, when Bog was named Imperial Advisor to the Samarian government, Astri knew something was up. She discovered, through Samarian Prime Minister Aaren Larker, that Bog was planning to capture Lune and use him as the first of a captive group of Force-sensitive children who could teach the pilots of the Imperial Academies. Larker gave Astri access to the Platform-7 supercomputer, which she infected with a virus that gave her time to escape from Samaria.
Astri accepted help from Ferus Olin and Trever Flume, and took her son to the relative safety of Olin's hidden asteroid base. Lune spent a good deal of time alone, but he also learned about the Force from Garen Muln, who gave him enough interest to begin testing his own skills with the Force. When Trever returned to the asteroid with Flame, Astri realized that she needed to find a place where Lune could grow up in a somewhat normal environment. She agreed to take Lune to Coruscant with Clive Flax and the former Jedi Master Solace, where they hoped to meet with Dexter Jettster and locate a planet where they could live. Lune grew restless in the Orange District, and Astri agreed that he could go up to the surface and play for short periods of time, provided that he was accompanied by an adult. On one such outing, Keets Freely and Curran Caladian were surprised and shocked when they saw Lune using the Force to allow himself to do mid-air somersaults. Although this made the other children laugh, it also attracted the attention of a group of stormtroopers. The trio fled the park, but were apprehended before they could return to Dexter's lair. Lune was captured by the stormtroopers and sent off to the Imperial Naval Academy, where his own father planned to use him in an experiment to train starfighter pilots.
Inside the academy, Lune was reunited with Trever Flume, who had posed as a recruit to locate Lune. Their reunion was cut short when they were caught sneaking around by Lieutenant Maggis, and they were separated. Trever was sent to his quarters and placed under guard, while Lune was to be shipped off to serve as a subject in an experiment that was being carried out by Darth Vader and Jenna Zan Arbor. It was during this time that Lune came to hate his father, and he realized that he had no qualms about his hatred. Lune was held inside the Emperor Palpatine Surgical Reconstruction Center, but was soon rescued by Doctor Linna Naltree and Ferus Olin. Upon returning to his mother, Lune learned that the Jedi Master Ry-Gaul had agreed to train him in the ways of the Force. However, Ry-Gaul eventually determined that Lune needed more instruction, and deferred his training to Garen Muln on the hidden asteroid base that had been established by Ferus Olin. Unfortunately, the asteroid's location was compromised by General Toma and the freedom fighter known as Flame, who was actually Eve Yarrow. The assembled Jedi ensured that Lune escaped Darth Vader's attack on the asteroid by sending him away in an escape pod, which was later recovered by Ferus Olin, who took Lune to be reunited with his mother.
Little was known of Lune's whereabouts during the early years of the Galactic Empire, although it was believed that Astri Oddo and the rest of Lune's family died at the hands of the Empire, when Imperial forces razed the safe house in which they were living. This forced Lune to go abandon any training with the Force and underground in order to survive. He adopted the simply alias of Div, knowing that Lune Oddo Divinian had died with his mother, and set out to become a mercenary pilot. He kept his true identity hidden for nearly twenty years, and he did his best to ensure that it stayed hidden when he encountered Luke Skywalker.

Divo, Tan
This man served as a member of the Senate Guard, during the height of the Clone Wars. It was Lieutenant Divo and his team who investigated the death of Senator Onaconda Farr, when an autopsy revealed the presence of an unusual chemical in the Senator's bloodstream. Divo, who had little regard for politicians, wanted to keep the investigation within the Senate Guard, believing that it would go smoother without intervention from the Senators who were close to Farr. His frustration only increased when he learned that Padme' Amidala and Bail Organa were doing their own investigation, which nearly resulted in their own deaths when they were attacked by an unknown assailant. Lieutenant Divo was later forced to confine the Senators to their offices for the rest of the investigation, when Senator Mee Deechi was found murdered in his offices, shortly after a meeting with Senator Amidala. Lieutenant Divo then realized that the only other Senator who was present during the hours surrounding Farr's death was Halle Burtoni, so he set out to question the aging Kaminoan. Senator Burtoni was not in her offices, an absense that Senator Lolo Purs claimed was due to that fact that Burtoni attacked her. Burtoni was eventually captured and brought in for questioning, but she maintained her innocence in both matters. When an analysis of the chemical in Farr's blood revealed that it was of Kaminoan origin, and that it was targeted to affect only Rodians, Lieutenant Divo ordered Burtoni's arrest. Senator Amidala, however, remembered that Senator Purs had been present when Senator Farr had been killed, and immediately questioned how the female Rodian could have survived. When Divo and his men tried to capture Senator Purs, the Rodian tried to take Amidala as a hostage, but Padme' managed to punch her in the jaw, knocking Senator Purs unconscious.

Divto
A long, three-headed snake native to Endor's forest moon, the divto captured its prey by stunning it with a venomous bite. The average divto measured about three meters in length, and was covered with reddish-brown scales that allowed it to blend into the forest. After the Battle of Endor, many divtos were captured or mistakenly transported off Endor's moon, and were quick to adapt on other worlds. The divto population found on the planet Mimban was unusual in that it had a transparent hide, allowing it to blend into almost any swampy environment, and each of its heads was surrounded by a hood.

Divvik
This vicious creature lays its eggs in the bodies of living hosts. After they hatch, the egg-shaped pupae of this creature were considered a delicacy by the Hutts, but there was a short period of time in which the divvik were edible. After hatching from their pupal stage, they grow almost immediately into adults. The adults were nothing short of killing machines which prefer to dine on living flesh, despite the fact that they were less than a foot tall. The ball-shaped adults move about on two long legs, and use their arms to help them climb and grasp objects. Their whip-like tail was tipped with a dagger-like claw. The skin of the adult divvik was impervious to blaster fire, and their bite contains an acidic poisonous saliva which causes paralysis in most species, and can eat through plastisteel over time. If injured or otherwise cut, the divvik releases a toxic gas from their digestive system. The only safe way to eliminate a divvik was to suffocate it, but this often took a long time.

This vicious Devaronian crimelord attempted to take control of Jabba the Hutt's operations on Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. Despite his best efforts to raid Jabba's storehouses and disrupt his operations, Djelkh could never gain any kind of foothold on Tatooine. He didn't endear himself to the local population of Mos Eisley, either, for civilians were often caught in the crossfire of his attacks on Jabba's holdings. In a last-ditch effort, Djelkh hired a bounty hunter to set a mole serpent loose in Jabba's palace, in an attempt to assassinate the Hutt. Djelkh then planned to present a gift of cologne - extracted from the scent glands of the mole serpent's favorite prey, the tirginni beast - to Jabba. His plans fell apart almost immediately, when the bounty hunter's ship crashed into the desert, then Harbo Wils tried to peddle the cologne to the highest bidder. When the cologne ended up in the ship of an unsuspecting group of smugglers, Djelkh wanted to part of their story that they were innocent. He went after the smugglers himself, discovering them near the wreckage of the Star Stalker, the ship which was transporting his mole serpent. Djelkh and his thugs set out to eliminate the smugglers, but he was unaware of the presence of A-Zulmun. The Tusken Raider managed to shoot Djelkh several times with a sligthrower rifle, badly injuring the Devaronian and distracting his forces. In the fight, Djelkh was also sprayed with the Tirginni Cologne, when its container was shot and destroyed. In a cruel twist of fate, Djelkh was swallowed whole by the mole serpent he had imported to Tatooine.

(CPL, NECH)
Djo, Tenel Ka
The daughter of Isolder and Teneniel Djo, Tenel Ka was raised on Dathomir in the tradition of the other witches in Teneniel's clan. Tenel showed great aptitude with the Force, and later attended Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, at the same time as Jacen and Jaina Solo. She was a reserved, distant companion to the twins, in keeping with the strength she learned on Dathomir. When Luke discovered the connection between Lando Calrissian's lost corusca gems and the space station Borgo Prime, he took Tenel Ka with him to search out any leads on the Shadow Academy.
Later, she posed with him on Dathomir as Force sensitives, and were transported to the Shadow Academy. There, they helped rescue Jaina and Jacen. Her Jedi training nearly came to an end when Luke Skywalker requested that the students at his praxeum built their own lightsabers, in preparation for battling the Shadow Academy. Tenel Ka felt that the weapon was no the important link, but the warrior was. She didn't focus all of her energies in her lightsaber, which she built from an old rancor tooth. In a practice duel with Jacen Solo, Tenel pushed herself and Jacen to their limits. Her lightsaber failed to maintain its energy beam, and Jacen's blade passed through it, severing Tenel Ka's left arm above the elbow. The wound was instantly cauterized, and replacing the hand was impossible.
She travelled back to Hapes to recover from the incident, secretly wondering about her own abilities. She found herselve in the midst of Ambassador Yfra's treacherous plans. The series of ensuing battles forced Tenel Ka to realize that, although the warrior was very important, how the warrior maintains their touch on the Force was most important. Her injury was of minimal importance if she truly mastered the Force. She returned to Yavin 4, and built a new lightsaber. She kept to her original design of using a rancor tooth, but worked with the Force to create a weapon superior to the original. It used a rainbow gem from Gallinore, and produced a turquoise-colored blade.
After becoming a full Jedi Knight, Tenel Ka and the rest of her friends were thrust into the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong. She was one of the Jedi who were sent to Myrkr to destroy the voxyn queen, and one of just a handful to survive the mission. The Jedi team stole the Yuuzhan Vong frigate Ksstarr and took it to Hapes, where Tenel had to face the real possibility that her mother might die or be assassinated. The Hapan people were demanding stronger leadership, and feared that Teneniel Djo might lead them to ruin. Tenel Ka refused to take her mother's place, deciding that she wanted to remain a Jedi Knight.
It was also during this period on Hapes when she declared - at least to herself - that she had loved Jacen Solo. When she discovered that her mother had been poisoned, Tenel Ka used what little political power she had to turn the Hapan fleet over to Colonel Jagged Fel, in the hopes that he could command them in battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. Tenel Ka then confronted her grandmother, announcing that she would take her mother's place as Queen.
In the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Tenel Ka allied the Hapes Consortium with the fledgling Galactic Alliance. She also found herself wanting to answer the call of UnuThul. She resisted the urge to travel to the Unknown Regions, understanding that her place was on Hapes. However, when Jacen Solo arrived to request her help, Tenel Ka was more than happy to assist. She was able to requisition a small fleet of ships, led by the Kendall, that traveled to Qoribu to help defend the Colony against the Chiss.
Unknown to most people on Hapes, Tenel Ka and Jacen had shared an intimate night together, and Tenel Ka managed to adjust her reproductive system to capture Jacen's genetic material and hold it until it was safe to become pregnant. She kept the pregnancy a secret, knowing that an heir would cause all sorts of trouble. Even Jacen was unaware of the situation for an entire year, until a tremor in the Force brought him back to Hapes. Tenel Ka was forced to admit to her plan when Jacen discovered the child, at which point they both had to fight for their lives against a swarm of Gorog assassin bugs sent by the former Queen Mother, Ta'a Chume.
Once Tenel Ka and the baby were safe, Jacen arranged for Ta'a Chume to be held indefinitely, after Tenel Ka ordered that she be kept alive for a public trial. When Master Skywalker sent out his Force all to all Jedi during the height of the conflict with the Colony, Tenel Ka obeyed, but could not pledge her full support to the new Jedi order. Her duties on Hapes were more important, and she amicably parted ways with Master Skywalker before returning to her homeworld.
In the wake of the Swarm War, Jacen and Tenel Ka continued to have clandestine meetings, and it was the common bond of their daughter that Jacen tried to exploit during the Galactic Alliance's conflict with The Confederation. He played upon their relationship to continually ask for the use of the Hapan Home Fleet in various military actions, and Tenel Ka agreed despite the growing dissent among Hapan nobles. Her right to rule the Hapes Cluster was challenged by the Heritage Council, which came to a head when the Heritage Fleet launched a massive assault on Hapes itself. The timely intervention of a Galactic Alliance fleet led by Jacen helped to defeat the Heritage Fleet and reaffirm Tenel Ka's rulership, but it also strained her relationship with Jacen.
During the battle, Jacen opened fire on his parents, who were attempting to rescue several Jedi Knights and return to Hapes. They barely reached the ground, but Tenel Ka was nonetheless shaken by Jacen's callousness. When he returned yet again to ask for the Hapan Home Fleet to help defend the planet Kuat, Tenel Ka only reluctantly agreed. She had reason to worry, however, after Han and Leia Solo once again arrived on Hapes after fleeing Kashyyyk. They relayed information on Jacen's unprovoked attack on Kashyyyk, and the death of Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker. Armed with this information, Tenel Ka realized that she could no longer love what Jacen had become. She withdrew the Hapan Home Fleet and agreed to support the efforts of the Jedi in opposing Jacen's rule.
When the Anakin Solo attacked Kashyyyk and was later surrounded by an enemy force, Tenel Ka personally led the Hapan Home Fleet to Kashyyyk. There, she demanded that Jacen surrender, threatening to open fire if he refused. Jacen, who had fully become Darth Caedus by that point, ordered his own crews to target Hapan ships. Tenel Ka was then forced to open fire on the Anakin Solo, hoping to disable the ship and bring Jacen to justice. Jacen and his forces managed to escape the trap, and Tenel Ka returned to Hapes with plans to keep the Hapan military neutral in the coming battle. Thus, she was unprepared for Jacen's bold attempt to kidnap their daughter, Allana. Jacen took the girl and threatened to kill her if Tenel Ka did not return control of the Hapan military to the Galactic Alliance.
Tenel Ka could no sacrifice her people's freedom for her daughter's life, but could not help but wonder how to save her daughter. She told the Jedi Grand Master, Luke Skywalker, about the kidnapping, but remained committed to keeping Hapes free. Thus, she was more than relieved when Master Skywalker offered the resources of the new Jedi Order to help rescue Allana. She was reunited with her daughter shortly afterward, and kept Allana close to her all times. This included bringing her daughter aboard the Dragon Queen after Tenel Ka ordered the Hapan Home Fleet into the Transitory Mists to defend the hidden Jedi base on Shedu Maad.
Upon arriving at Shedu Maad, Tenel Ka was forced to deal with the news that her father, Prince Isolder, had been murdered by Darth Caedus. This only served to harden her resolve, and gave more meaning to the battle that was about to begin. During the fighting that ensued between the Jedi Coalition and the forces supporting Darth Caedus, Tenel Ka sensed that there was a hidden danger to her life and that of Allana. This danger came in the form of an Imperial Remnant nanokille virus that had been programmed to attack beings with Isolder's genetics. Although Tenel Ka escaped the nanokiller, she reported that she had been unable to prevent it from attacking Allana. Tenel Ka was the forced to re-assume control of the Hapan Home Fleet, after Ducha Requud had made a bid to usurp her power.
When Master Skywalker offered the surviving Imperial Moffs a chance to live by agreeing to help restore the Galactic Alliance, Tenel Ka was forced to see the wisdom in his offer, even though she would have liked to exact a measure of revenge against them. When Han Solo threatened to kill them, Master Skywalker able to negotiate a deal in which the Imperial Remnant would use its considerable resources to help rebuild the galaxy, in honor of Allana's life. However, Tenel Ka left the Moffs with the knowledge that she would not hesitate to strike them down if they tried to act against the Hapes Consortium ever again.
In the days that followed the end of the war, Tenel Ka revealed to Han and Leia Solo that Allana had survived. However, in order to ensure that Hapan politics didn't affect her, Allana had to be presumed dead, which would allow Tenel Ka to restore the Hapes Consortium without fearing for her life. Allana adopted the alias of Amelia, an orphan of the war who was discovered to be Force-sensitve. Han and Leia agreed to serve as her guardian until such time as her true identity could once again be revealed. Note that Tenel Ka had been named several times as Kenel Ka or Tenel Ta throughout the Young Jedi Knights books.

Djo, Teneniel
This woman grew as a Dathomir witch of the Singing Mountain clan, and was gifted with the use of the Force storm. It was Teneniel Djo who discovered Luke Skywalker and Prince Isolder of Hapes after they landed on Dathomir, and so she claimed ownership of Isolder before any of her sisters could do so. In the fighting that ensued between the New Republic and the forces of Warlord Zsinj, Teneniel Djo gave part of her own life energy to save a Nightsister, in the hopes that she could be saved and turned back to the Light Side.
Teneniel Djo and Isolder were later married, and she moved to Hapes to live with Isolder as a Princess. Once on Hapes, she and Isolder gave birth to a daughter, Tenel Ka. Teneniel Djo continued to live in relative peace with her mother-in-law, Ta'a Chume, although the Queen Mother continued to rankle at Isolder's choice for a bride. However, when Ta'a Chume eventually stepped down as Queen Mother, Teneniel assumed the rank.
Twenty years later, during the early stages of the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong, Teneniel Djo became pregnant again, in an effort to produce a suitable heir to the throne. She and Isolder were at odds over the role of Tenel Ka in the succession, given that she was a Jedi Knight, and Teneniel Djo had to battle Isolder's will to become pregnant. Unfortunately, the emotional backlash in the Force from the Battle of Fondor caused Teneniel Djo to miscarry her unborn child, and she sank into a deepening despair.
Meanwhile, Ta'a Chume began searching for a new woman to replace Teneniel Djo, hoping that another union would produce a suitable heiress. The former Queen Mother hoped to mold some strong woman into her own image and insinuate her into Isolder's life, thereby removing Teneniel Djo from her position as Queen Mother. The woman she chose was Jaina Solo, but Ta'a Chume could not simply stand by and wait for Isolder to divorce his wife. The former Queen Mother secretly arranged for Teneniel Djo to be poisoned, an act which Tenel Ka and Jaina Solo were unable to prevent. Both arrived in the Queen's quarters to find Teneniel Djo slumped over in her chair, dead from an ingestion of poison which appeared to have been the handiwork of the Ni'Korish faction.
In the aftermath of Teneniel Djo's death, her daughter Tenel Ka ascended to the role of Queen Mother.

D'kee-class Landing Ship
This Ssi-ruuvi starship was carried into battle by the Sh'ner-class planetary assault cruiser. Twelve D'kee-class ships could be carried in each Sh'ner-class ship deployed. The D'kee-class ships were piloted by four P'w'eck servants and eight P'w'eck gunners who were remotely controlled by a Ssi-ruuk aboard the Sh'ner-class ship. In addition to this crew complement, 100 collectors traveled on the ship to round up potential entechment subjects. The D'kee ship was armed with 100 paralysis cannisters, which it dropped over population centers as it plummetted through the atmosphere. The cannisters explode some 3,000 meters in the air, releasing large amounts of a Ssi-ruuvi paralysis toxin. The toxin was effective in two ways: skin contact and inhalation. The paralyzing effect lastsedabout eight hours, during which time the victims were alert but unable to move. Once the toxins had been released, the D'kee-class ships then descended to collect up to 10,000 entechment subjects each.

DL-44
A heavy blaster pistol built by BlasTech, the DL-44 was one of the most popular weapons BlasTech ever produced. While its design gave it a short range, the DL-44 was extremely powerful for a hand-held weapon. Among its distinguishing features was its "cautionary pulser" grip, which provided a slight vibration to the user's gunhand when the powerpack was getting low. The weapon, which was copied by Merr-Sonn's Flash 4 pistol and by Imperial Munitions, gained its populariy due to the fact that Han Solo used a modified version of this type of blaster. However, its firepower forced many worlds in the New Republic to outlaw the possession of the DL-44 by civilians.

Dlarit, Aerin
This native of Thyferra was one of the higher managers in the Xucphra bacta corporation. He was also appointed a General in the Thyferran Home Defense Corps when Ysanne Isard took control of Thyferra. He had no real duties, but was a perfect public relations man for Isard. He was also Erisi Dlarit's father, which made him a prime target for Rogue Squadron's ground forces during the early stages of the Battle of Thyferra. They made an assault on the Dlarit estate, which was set on a small knoll at the base of an extinct volcano and protected by a ring of Comar TriTracker batteries. In an effort to stir up the Vratix and embarras the Bacta Cartel, Aerin was executed by Elscol Loro and Iella Wessiri and left in his den, slumped over the desk and completely naked.
(BW)
Dlarit, Erisi
A native of Thyferra, she was selected to become a member of X-Wing Rogue Squadron because she was also a member of the Xucphra faction, and was thought to have been complementary to the addition of Bror Jave to the Squadron. However, it was later discovered that Dlarit was actually working as a spy for Ysanne Isard and the Imperial factions which supported the bacta cartels. She was planted to provide information on the New Republic's reactions to the Krytos virus, which would guarantee that the bacta cartels would continue to monopolize the market under Imperial control. She was discovered as a spy when her ship malfunctioned and was captured by the Lusankya as it escaped from Coruscant. Her astromech reported no malfunction, and relayed the deliberate flight plan that took her into the Lusankya's holds. Once back on Thyferra, Erisi was appointed a flight leader among the Thyferran Home Defense Corps, and became romantically involved with Fliry Vorru. Their romance was short-lived, though, as Vorru was taken prisoner by Iella Wessiri and Elscol Loro, and Erisi was forced into defending her homeworld in the Battle of Thyferra. She managed to destroy Nawara Ven's X-Wing, but the Twi'lek managed to eject before being engulfed in flames. She was rewarded by becoming the target of Corran Horn, who managed to fire on her before she could escape to hyperspace. Horn's shots were on-target, and Erisi's ship simply disintegrated under fire. It was believed that Erisi did not survive the explosion.

This Alliance protocol droid was codenamed Dagger, and was planted in Imperial Moff Vanko's office as Vanko's personal decoding droid. In this capacity, DM/C3 could provide the Alliance with valuable information on fleet movements, while at the saem time planting false reports in Vanko's mailbox. It was DM/C3 that alerted the Alliance to the secret meetings between Vanko and Torpin aboard the Kuari Princess.

D'moporai
This was the Cheunh word for a specific starship attack pattern, used primarily for close-range attacks. In the d'moporai formation, pilots spread their ships apart in three distinct waves, sacrificing the security of overlapping shields in exchange for maneuverability. When the entire formation was close to a target, they waited for opposing starfighters to be ordered to engage in response. Then, all ships launched a single missile at the primary target. These missiles contained ship-sized shock nets. Being fired from different locations in the formation, these shock nets struck their target in waves, quickly rendering multiple units of enemy fighters inoperable and allowing the Chiss formation to attack the primary target.

DN Bolt Caster
This plasma disruptor weapon was produced by Drever Corporation, as a military version of the popular Phoenix II plasma disruptor tool. The DN Bolt Caster found widespread use among the clone troops of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, as its plasma beam was particularly effective in destroying battle droids. The effectiveness of the DN Bolt Caster far outweighted its cost, which was expensive enough to keep the weapon out of the hands of most mercenaries and planetary defense forces.

Doaba, Iann
This ancient warrior was a Jedi Knight, and was one of the original colonists to settle the planet Socorro. He fell in love with Cjaalysce Beal, and actually killed a man who tried to steal her love from him. His conscience, laden with guilt, led him to exile himself from the rest of the colonists. His self-imposed exile - dooming himself to wander around the open desert - later became known as The Long Walk among the Ibhaan'I shamen. When Cjaalysce learned of his exile, she fled into the desert in search of him. She was lost for many weeks, until her dessicated body was found on a rocky outcropping. Beneath the body, searchers found Iann's robes and his lightsaber. They also found an indelible shadow of his form, and it was generally believed that Iann's grief was so great that it consumed him. The shadow, the past vestige of Iann's spirit, was rumored to have attached itself to a portait of Cjaalysce, and was witnessed wherever the portait was shown. Benoni Ulte came into possession of the portait during the early years of the New Order, and himself claimed to have seen Ian's shadow hovering about it.

Doallyn
One of the hunters who answered Jabba the Hutt's call for the capture of a live krayt dragon, Doallyn was a native of the planet Geran. He had strange, bluish skin and light eyes, and the skin on his face was horribly scarred from a attack by a Corellian sand panther. As a native of Geran, Doallyn required hydron-3 in the air he breathed. Thus, when he came to Tatooine, a trace-breather was added to the helmet he wore as part of his hunter's armor. Doallyn was captivated by the sights and sounds of Mos Eisley, and sampled too much liquor when he arrived. He ended up in a high-stakes game of wildstar and woke up to find he had signed on as one of Jabba's palace guards for a year. Jabba kept Doallyn dependent and loyal by doling out daily doses of hydron-3. When Jabba left for the Pit of Carkoon to execute Luke Skywalker, Doallyn was left behind. There, he befriended Yarna d'al' Gargan. They both were met by Tessek when he returned from the Pit with news of Jabba's death, but neither listened to Tessek when he stated he was in charge of the palace. Instead, they fled the palace and headed to Mos Eisley, to rescue Yarna's cubs. Along the way, Doallyn made use of his knowledge of the krayt dragon to kill one that got in their way. He took the pearls from the beast's belly and saved them for Yarna, who used them to pay for the release of her cubs. The group then left Tatooine, stopping first on Geran before deciding to live as free traders aboard their starship.

Doashim
This vicious predator was native to the Dark Ridges region of Ryloth. Similar in appearance to a four-legged theropod with the head of a horned demon, the doashim was a prominent figure that represented death in many Twi'lek legends. Its pebbled hide was often jet-black in color, although dark blue or brown coloration was also common. A thick tail helped counterbalance the body when the doashim ran on its hind legs, which ended with large clawed feet. The forelegs were muscular and dexterous, and supported a pair of heavily-clawed "hands." Its head was crowned with a pair of heavy horns, which sat above two bright red eyes. The mouth of the doashim was filled with dagger-like teeth, which were used to tear out a victim's throat and allow it to bleed to death, at which point the doashim could feed at its leisure. As a species, doashim were barely mammalian, with sparse patches of coarse hair covering the body and tail. Although little was known of their social structure, it was believed that doashim lived in small family units that guarded specific territories.

This Arkanian worked as a research Director for Adascorp during the year following the Great Sith War. Dobonold oversaw the work of Gorman Vandrayk, who developed a way to control the massive exogorths that were discovered near Omonoth. Although he was pleased with Vandrayk's results, Dobonold was among the many Arkanian Purebloods who barely tolerated the presence of an Arkanian Offshoot. He often referred to Vandrayk's expeditions to Omonoth as camping trips, since they kept Vandrayk away from Arkania for extended periods of time.
When Lord Argaloh Adasca decided to turn the exogorth project into a military operation, Dobonold was quick to agree to this new plan. He did little to support Vandrayk's true goals, and abandoned the scientist in order to gain favor with Adasca. This combination of events drove Vandrayk to abandon his research, placing the exogorth project on hold for some sixty years.

Doc
Formerly known as Klaus Vandangante, Doc was an only child born on the planet Coruscant. He was doted on by his widowed mother, Carmilla Vandangante, living in luxury and privilege. As a youth, this was maddeningly boring, and he rebelled by programming the droids to stop feeding him food he didn't like. His mother and tutors discovered his "new talents," and restructured his lessons. Klaus soon became a gifted student, and graduated with honors.Following graduation, Klaus was offered a job with Alkherrodyne Propulsions. He quickly accepted, but was unprepared for corporate life. Alkherrodyne had a company policy of programmed obsolescense, something that Klaus didn't learn in school. He chafed against the ideals of creating useful, reliable tools and the need to maintain the bottom line. When Alkherrodyne's Azaria 66 began exploding in the field, they needed a scapegoat to blame it on. They chose Klaus, who was summarily fired and taken to court. After several legal battles, Klaus Vandangante was financially and professionally bankrupt. The fact that Alkherrodyne also went bankrupt was of little consequence, for Klaus no longer existed. He began wandering the galaxy as the spacer called Doc, and found himself in Corporate Sector space. There, he met the beautiful young smuggler Shardra, who introduced him to her own network of spacers. He found work as a starship mechanic, showing an incredible ability to make any modification work reliably, and his results were highly effective. He fell in love with Shardra, and the couple soon gave birth to a daughter, Jessa. However, Shardra's sudden death in a fuel dump explosion once again rocked Doc's world. This time, however, he had Jessa to fall back on, and he dedicated himself to her education and growth. She, like her father, showed a great mechanical aptitude, and she stayed on with him to further his outlaw tech business. He and Jessa recruited the best techs they could find, and helped everyone from smugglers to the Alliance. This was how they got tangled up with Han Solo, a brash young pilot who was constantly repairing his ship, the Millennium Falcon. However, Doc's repairs soon came under the scrutiny of the Corporate Sector Authority, who had laid out the regulations for starship modifications. Much of Doc's work involved skirting these regulations and most of his modifications were deemed illegal. Doc suddenly disappeared, part of the sector-wide sweep of criminals placed in the Stars' End detention facility.Han Solo trusted Doc to make most repairs to the Falcon, and went to see him when the loss of his sensor dish in a weapons run to Duroon. However, Doc had already been kidnapped for incarceration at Stars' End. When Han learned this, he agreed to help Jessa rescue Doc. Han and his group of adventurers were able to infiltrate the detention center and rescue the captives, including Doc, who returned to his modification business with Jessa.

Dod, Lott
This Neimoidian was the Trade Federation's primary representative in the Old Republic's Galactic Senate. Dod was one of two members of the Federation, along with Nute Gunray, who survived the Nebula Front's assassination attempt at the taxation forum on Eriadu, about a year before the Battle of Naboo. During the time when the Federation protested the taxation of trade routes by blockading the planet of Naboo, Lott Dod maintained his position that the blockade was a perfectly legal response to the Republic's actions. However, when Queen Amidala of Naboo petitioned for a vote of no-confidence in Chancellor Valorum's ability to control the Republic, it was Lott Dod who opposed an immediate vote. He was overruled by a popular majority. Years later, during the build-up to the Battle of Geonosis and the Clone Wars, Lott Dod was assigned to assist Nute Gunray in his negotiations with Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Lott Dod was acted by Silas Carson, and his voice was provided by Toby Longworth in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.

Dodonna
This was the first Galactic-class battle carrier produced for the Galactic Alliance's naval forces. Completed several years after the end of the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, the Dodonna was the second vessel named for General Jan Dodonna. The Dodonna was part of the Galactic Alliance Second Fleet, and was commanded by Admiral Matric Klauskin during the mission to blockade the Corellian System, when Thrackan Sal-Solo again threatened to secede from the Galactic Alliance. After Klauskin suffered a nervous breakdown, Admiral Tarla Limpan took over as commander of the Dodonna.
The ship remained at the forefront of the Cirellian blockade for many months, until Klauskin - who was not insane, but under the control of the Dark Lady of the Sith, Lumiya - aided a Bothan assault force in reaching Corellia. The Bothan Assault Cruisers that arrived at Corellia were joined by warships from Commenor. This combined force far outgunned the GA fleet, and Admiral Limpan was forced to take evasive action just to survive. After ordering all weapons to disable Centerpoint Station, Limpan watched as Bothan and Corellian forces pounded the Dodonna with laser fire, hoping that her crew could bring down Centerpoint and flee into hyperspace before the ship was destroyed.
They only barely escaped to Point Bleak, at which time the Dodonna was ordered back to Coruscant for immediate repair. Admiral Limpan then transferred the fleet's flag to the Blue Diver in order to maintain command of the fleet and await new orders.
(LF1, LF4)
Dodonna, Jan
Jan Dodonna was one of the Old Republic's foremost military tacticians. Along with his friend and comrade Adar Tallon, they were a formidable pair. Tallon's ability to manipulate ship-to-ship combat complimented Dodonna's logistical mind and siege tactics. Dodonna was one of the first Star Destroyer Captains for the Old Republic, and was a task force commander during the height of the Clone Wars. When Dodonna first heard of Tallon's death, he retired. Soon after, Palpatine's New Order was implemented, and the military records of the Old Republic's finest officers were scrutinized. Dodonna was deemed too old to retrain, and was ordered for execution. A timely intervention by the Alliance, coupled with the knowledge of him impending execution, turned Dodonna toward the Alliance. He defected to the Alliance, and became one of their greatest strategists. Deep in his heart, he felt the need to help the Alliance turn the tide, for he saw the Empire using was greatest strategies against the Alliance, primarily in the Siege of Dalron V and the infamous Project Asteroid. He was placed in charge of the attack on the first Death Star, and agonized without sleep over the plans delivered by Leia Organa. His keen insight discovered the flaw in the reactor shaft, and he organized the snubfighter battle around it. With the Death Star gone, Dodonna was placed in charge of defending Yavin 4 until a new base could be found. He discovered that his son, Vrad, had been severely injured in an attack on the Super Star Destroyer Executor, and later died of his injuries. He helped destroy a wing of Imperial TIE Bombers that attacked Yavin 4, but was critically wounded in the battle. He was captured by the Imperials, and was imprisoned at the Lusankya facility. Known as the "Old Man," Dodonna was the unofficial leader of the prisoners working in the mines when Corran Horn was sent there. Jan helped Corran escape the facility, but couldn't escape with Horn without endangering the other prisoners. When Horn made his attempt, Jan noticed that Evir Derricote was attempting to follow him. Jan pursued Derricote and deflected his first attack on Horn. Corran was able to kill Derricote with the very shovel Derricote attacked him with. Jan remained behind when Corran left, and was probably transported to Thyferra when the Lusankya left Coruscant. Dodonna and the other prisoners were transported to the planet Ciutric by Ysanne Isard's clone, where they were held and drugged to ensure their compliance. Isard's clone pretended to move them every so often, using elaborate chambers and neurological drugs to make them believe they were travelling through hyperspace. In fact, they never left the planet. After the Battle of Bilbringi, the New Republic joined forces with the real Ysanne Isard, and was able to launch an assault on Ciutric. Dodonna and the remaining Lusankya prisoners were rescued by Corran Horn. Dodonna was eventually reunited with Adar Tallon, who had been discovered hiding on Tatooine and persuaded to join the Alliance some years before. The two, along with Vanden Willard, were known as the "Gray Cadre" among the Alliance's military. Note that The Truce at Bakura depicts Dodonna as an active member of the fledgling New Republic, and as the developer of the Battle Analysis Computer. After his rescue from Ciutric, Dodonna went on to become a competent statesman for the New Republic before he retired to New Alderaan, thinking that most of the battle with the Empire was over. He was quite surprised at the advent of Grand Admiral Thrawn and the new life shown by the remnants of the Empire, and so he came out of retirement and became one of the New Republic's most trusted military advisors, helping to turn the tide during the Battle of Calamari. General Dodonna continued to serve the Alliance High Command for many years, until he died about a year before the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy.

Dodonna, Vrad
The son of Jan Dodonna, Vrad fled from an encounter with the Executor just before the Battle of Hoth. He escaped from the battle in a shuttle and hid behind a nearby moon until the battle was completed. Vrad had a great fear of dying in battle, which he tried to conceal from his father. He faked battle damaged to his shuttle with a blaster and returned to Yavin 4. Han Solo and Luke Skywalker were able to see through the deception, but couldn't decide how to approach General Dodonna about it. In an effort to make up for his perceived cowardice, Vrad volunteered to take the last power gem into battle against the Executor. Dodonna named Luke as his backup, which worried Luke. Luke confronted Vrad about his suspicions, but Vrad knocked him unconscious. They had to put their differences aside as the mission began, but Vrad panicked when he encountered the ship again. He was able to penetrate the Star Destroyer's defenses and momentarily drop some of its shields, but the power gem's effects were short-lived, and the Executor survived. Vrad then landed on a small moon and dropped off Luke, them returned to ram the Star Destroyer with his own ship, sacrificing himself in hopes of doing more damage to the Executor. Following Vrad's death, Luke was promoted to Commander. Note that the Star Wars Radio Drama indicates Luke wasn't promoted to Commander until Narra's death.

(SWDB)
Dofine, Daultay
This Neimoidian was one of Nute Gunray's Captains, and embodied everything that was negative about his race. He was lazy, only moderately competent, and greedy, and achieved his status primarily because of his high birth. He was known to ply any challengers with platitudes while determining the best way to stab them in the back. Dofine was wanted for questioning by the Bureau of Ship Services for a variety of complaints against his actions, including the illegal seizure of cargoes. When the Trade Federation blockaded the planet Naboo at the order of Darth Sidious, Dofine was the only member of Gunray's collective to question the orders of the Sith Lord, and for that he was removed from the ruling class of the Federation and assigned to the Droid Control Ship over Naboo. During the Battle of Naboo, Dofine was killed when Anakin Skywalker managed to damage the control ship's reactor core, triggering internal explosions that tore the ship to pieces. Daultay Dofine was acted by Alan Ruscoe and voiced by Chris Sanders in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.
(E1, IS1, IG1, SON)
Dofine, Lushros
This Neimoidian was appointed the Captain of the Invisible Hand, after General Grievous took command of the ship from Nute Gunray, during the height of the Clone Wars. A member of the influential Dofine family, Lushros Dofine was known for being level-headed and calm, even in dangerous situations where most Neimoidians would retreat. His ability to remain calm made Lushros unpopular among his fellow Neimoidians, many of whom claimed that he was able to rise to a position of power only by following on the coattails of his cousin, Daultay Dofine. Lushros knew that their jealousy was partly grounded in truth, but he knew enough to close to his cousin as he rose through the ranks of Neimoidian society.
Lushros Dofine was the captain of one of the many Trade Federation Lucrehulk warships during the Battle of Geonosis, which put him a position to rescue General Grievous and help him escape from Geonosis. Lushros' skills in escaping the warships of the Old Republic earned him a promotion to serving aboard the Invisible Hand. Thus, he was on the bridge when the ship was boarded by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, during the First Battle of Corusant. When the Jedi rescued Chanellor Palpatine, Lushros was among the many crew members who abandoned the Invisible Hand when it plummeted to the surface of Coruscant. Unfortunately, his escape pod was hit by a stray turbolaser blast, and Lushros died in the ensuing explosion.

Dogder, Ghitsa
This woman was a Hutt counselor for most of her career, although she freelanced as a smuggler with Fenig Nabon during the early years of the New Republic. She had a Coruscanti accent, but not the bearing of a noble. She was at one time a counselor for the Desilijic kajidic, but had since worked for the Besadii clan. Ghitsa's family had been acting as Hutt counselors, helping facilitate business between the Hutts and the Core Worlds, for nearly 150 years. She had met Fenig on Socorro a couple of years after the Battle of Endor, and they formed a loose partnership. When Ghitsa negotiated the services of a group of Twi'leki dancers for Durga, it struck her as an act that was morally wrong. Every the schemer, Ghitsa contracted the Mistryl to help transport the dancers, then verbally abused and goaded the Mistryl pilots. This was all in an effort to have the Mistryl become angry and force them off the ship. That way, Ghitsa could claim to Durga that the dancers had been stolen, ensuring that the Mistryl would help get them to safety. Ghitsa had Fen reprogram the Fury's ID codes to those of the Indenture, then told Durga that the Karazak slave ship stole the dancers. In fury, Durga expelled Ghitsa from her position as Hutt counselor, another outcome she had hoped to achieve. Shortly afterward, the Star Lady was stranded on Prishardia, the victim of sabotage by Culan Brasli and the Desilijic clan, and Ghitsa posed as a Jedi Knight in order to con the locals out of their hard-earned credits. She was waylayed, and had to be rescued by Fen and Kyp Durron. However, Ghitsa managed to steal information on the Orko SkyMine project from Counselor Ral, and later turned it over to Talon Karrde for distribution to the New Republic authorites.

Dolph
This native of Almania was somewhat Force sensitive. At a young age, he witnessed the brutality of the Je'Har, as they ravaged his village and took his parents prisoner. He managed to avoid capture, only to witness his parents' deaths. The Je'Har had them tied to posts and left to suffer in the harsh, summer sun outside their palace. It took his parents a week to die of hunger, dehydration, and sunstroke. He never forgot this, even when he began training as a Jedi under Luke Skywalker. One of several students who left the praxeum, Dolph returned to Almania with a plan to avenge his parents and gain control of the galaxy. Dolph felt that the Light and Dark sides of the Force were descriptions used by the Jedi to limit their students. He felt that Darth Vader returned to the Light Side only because he had nothing left to live for. Using the failed Jedi Brakiss as a tool, and gathering a substantial force around him, Dolph assumed the monicker of Kuellar, an ancient Almanian army general who was ruthless in his approach. As Kuellar, he exterminated the Je'Har by planting specially-built droids in their midst. He adopted the use of a Hendanyn death mask after discovering one among the ruins of the Je'Har temples, and began collecting similar masks from around the galaxy. The droids he used to defeat the Je'Har were built by Brakiss, and contained remotely-controlled bombs. The droids had been two years in the making and distribution. Dolph detonated the droids at a specific time, wiping out all but the Je'Har leaders. The leaders he captured and tortured for a week, avenging the deaths of his parents. Next, he used similar tactics to wipe out the population of Pydyr, the affluent moon of Almania. He then placed similar droids - as well as specially-rigged flight computers for new X-Wings - in the possession of the New Republic. He used a series of smuggling contacts in the Smuggler's Run to deliver the bombs. He succeeded in destroying the Senate Assembly Chamber, and began to terrorize Leia Organa-Solo via the Force. As the New Republic began to discover what he was all about, he drew Luke Skywalker and Leia to Almania. There, he hobbled Luke and tried to capture Leia. However, the intervention of Han Solo and a shipment of ysalamiri blovked Dolph from the Force, and allowed Leia to break through his visions and clearly see him. She shot him in the head with a blaster, ending his reign of terror.

Doluff, Lob
This color-blind man worked as the Administrator Senior of the Oseon System, during the early years of the New Order. The fact that he was color-blind meant that he derived no visual enjoyment from the annual Flamewind of Oseon, a fact that meant he hated the whole event. Lob Doluff knew that Lando Calrissian had won a huge profit in the system while playing sabacc, so he invited Lando back to the system from Dilonexa XXIII to play some more sabacc. Lob Doluff was a pear-shaped man with a dark beard and a bald head. He was described as having an ingratiating manner, and although he was an enthusiastic sabacc player, he wasn't very good. He collected flowering plants as a hobby, concentrating on those species that were beautiful, fragrant, and persistent. He was also heavily addicted to the drug lesai. Doluff had been trying to arrest Bohhuah Mutdah for some time, and saw Lando as a way to get near him. When Lando killed Kenow on Oseon 6845, Doluff charged him with carrying a concealed weapon - a capital offense - but gave him an out, provided Lando would transport Bassi Vobah and Waywa Fybot to Mutdah's asteroid during the Flamewind in order to arrest the wealthy being. Lando was forced to agree to this plan, but later learned that Mutdah had been killed by Rokur Gepta.

Such a one ceases to know the Force, except in his Dark Side. To grasp at power is to take up the path that leads to destruction. The Dominator is the enemy, yes.

Donn, Castin
This young, eager man joined Wraith Squadron shortly before the New Republic began tracking down Warlord Zsinj. A native of Coruscant, he was known as a computer slicer and systems specialist. A blond-haired youth, he had been a quiet supporter of the Alliance until the Emperor was killed at Endor. He managed to obtain an Alliance transmission of the destruction of the second Death Star, and broadcast it on the HoloNet before the Empire could put its own propaganda spin on the event. Caston joined the celebration which broke out across Imperial City, and was present when stormtroopers opened fire on the Alliance supporters. He watched in horror as a young was shot in the head, and barely managed to catch her baby before it hit the ground. This unnecessary, brutal act was etched in his mind, and he fled Imperial reprisal by forging himself a new identity and took the first transport off Coruscant. He then sought out the Alliance and offered them his technical skills. He later applied for starfighter training, and managed to pass despite the fact that he regularly shirked most of his non-flight duties and had a mild xenophobic streak. Wedge Antilles took a chance on him, hoping that this overall attitude would shape up. Wedge went so far as to assigned Castin to quarters with Hohass Ekwesh, in an effort to make Castin see that the galaxy was made up of all kinds of beings, not just humans. Castin was assigned the position of Wraith Two, as Wedge's wingman, following the death of Jesmin Ackbar. As the squadron's computer expert, Castin developed a portable program which would allow them to detect the location of the Iron Fist and help pinpoint Warlord Zsinj's location. Wedge forbade Castin from joining the Hawk-bats on their mission to meet with Zsinj, but Castin disobeyed orders and stowed away with the group. After planting his code, he discovered Zsinj's genetic experiments in the Iron Fist's deeper sections, but was also caught and brutally beaten by a group of stormtroopers. He was brought to Zsinj, who ordered General Kargin - alias Garik Loran - to kill him. Kargin hesitated, but Captain Seku shot Castin dead. This act left Seku, who was really Dia Passik, with a great sense of loss.

Donos, Myn
A native of Corellia, Myn Donos was one of the first pilots in Wraith Squadron. As a member of the Corellian militia, Donos earned his Corellian Bloodstripes as a sniper. As a Lieutenant with the New Republic, Donos was given command of Talon Squadron shortly before being placed in the Wraiths. When Talon Squadron was almost completely lost in an Imperial ambush on Gravan Seven - Donos being the sole survivor - he was demoted, but came under the attention of Wedge Antilles when he first formed Wraith Squadron. He was, at one time, awarded Corellian Bloodstripes by the military on Corellia, but he stopped wearing them shortly after the debacle on Gravan Seven. He also became quite morose, and was very introverted during his early days with the Wraiths. In the battle that saw the destruction of the Implacable over Ession, Donos got a measure of revenge for Talon Squadron. He discovered Apwar Trigit's TIE Interceptor fleeing the dying ship, and chased it down. Before Trigit could surrender, Donos launched a pair of proton torpedoes at him. Trigit's ship was destroyed, and Trigit died in the resulting explosion. Shortly afterward, Donos began to fall in love with Lara Notsil, unaware that she was actually Gara Petothel, the woman who provided Trigit with the information he needed to eliminate Talon Squadron. When Garik Loran inadvertently revealed her deception to the Wraiths at Kidriff Five, Donos tried to kill her, but nearly destroyed Wedge instead. Antilles chose to report the firing of Donos' weapons as "accidental," provided Donos received medical and psychiatric treatment. With the help of his friends and comrades, Donos came out of his tailspin and rejoined the squadron as they prepared to attack Zsinj near Kuat. Following the battle with Zsinj at Selaggis Six, Myn accepted a position with Rogue Squadron, choosing to fly rather remain with the Wraiths who joined New Republic Intelligence.

Doogun, Dax
This male Ortolan owned and operated Molpol's Traveling Circus, during the height of the New Order. Doogun was especially fond of the animals that were part of the circus, including the albino rancor known as Snowmass. Doogun dreamed of acquiring a sarlacc for the menagerie, but he could not find an efficient way to care for and transport the creature. During a series of shows in the Delphon System, the small fleet of ships maintained by the circus were attacked by the Black Hole Pirates, who forced them to land on the remote moon of Regosh. The pirates then stole the circus' C-9979 lander, stranding the circus and its animals on the moon. Many of the creatures fled into the wilderness, but Vistal Purn used the Millennium Falcon to rescue many of the smaller creatures and take them to Delphon. Unfortunately, many of the larger animals were lost, and the theft of the C-9979 lander was a huge financial loss for Doogun. He was forced to sell the circus and all its assets, including all rights to the name Molpol, just to survive. Doogun eventually made his way to the planet Agora, although he often kept an ear open for news about the Millennium Falcon. Thus, he was more than happy to meet with Han Solo and his family, some forty-three years after the Battle of Yavin, when Solo was investigating the history of the ship. Doogun revealed that he had originally purchased the ship from Parlay Thorp, which led the Solos to the Aurora Medical Facility.

Dooku
This man was a charismatic separatist held the social position of Count on his homeworld of Serenno. Born nearly eighty-one years before the onset of the Clone Wars, Count Dooku was also a former Jedi Master who was known for his diplomatic skills, as evidenced by his successful mediation of the Sevarcos Dispute. He was also known for his fierce independence and his command of the Living Force, traits which were passed on to his apprentice, Qui-Gon Jinn. Dooku himself trained with Yoda during his tean-age years, before passing the trials to earn the rank of Jedi Knight, and spent much of his life studying the various aspects of the Force. Dooku was an excellent lightsaber duelist, specializing in a form of fencing combat that was more suited to fighting against an opponent also using a lightsaber.
The one thing that always bothered him was the fact that, during his training, Dooku always lost to Master Yoda in mock combat. He resented the fact that Yoda would lose to obviously lesser students, but Dooku never was given such treatment. After one battle that Yoda claimed to have won before it even started, Dooku realized that he had gone into the battle intending to lose, rather than expecting to win. This realization changed Dooku's approach to his training, and made him a stronger Jedi. He spent very little time talking about his family, and rarely spoke of the incredible wealth until after he left the Jedi Order.
Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, as Dooku sat on the Jedi Council, he decided to leave the Jedi Order after refusing to lead an ill-fated mission to Baltizaar, becoming one of the "Lost Twenty." At the time, he cited his growing disillusionment with the Old Republic, as well as proposing that the Jedi Knights had weakened themselves by allying with the decaying Republic. He returned briefly to Serenno, and adopted the title of Count. It was also around this time that he became Darth Tyranus, training in the ways of the Sith under Darth Sidious. As Tyranus, it was Dooku who hired Jango Fett to serve as the model for a cloned army that was to be secretly created on Kamino. Many in the Jedi Order questioned Dooku's fall to the Dark Side of the Force, especially since he became the apprentice of the man who had trained Darth Maul, the Sith Lord who had killed Dooku's Padawn, Qui-Gon Jinn.
He resurfaced eight years later on Raxus Prime to begin speaking out in favor of a spearatist movement against the Old Republic. During the years leading up the Clone Wars, Dooku was one of the many members of the Old Republic who secretly wished for many planets to secede from the Republic, believing that he was in a position to take control of the newly-liberated worlds to form his own empire. He made several underhanded deals with major political powers, including the Commerce Guild, in an effort to solidify his position. He negotiated with Poggle the Lesser and the Trade Federation, employing the Geonosians in an effort to build vast droid armies to support the Separatist movement.
His identity as Darth Tyranus was revealed shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, when the Jedi Knights discovered the droid armies when Obi-Wan Kenobi was captured on Geonosis. Instead of trying to lie to Obi-Wan, Dooku confronted him with the truth: a Sith Lord was in control of the Republic. Obi-Wan could do nothing but disagree, playing to Dooku's plans. Dooku was forced to flee the planet in the aftermath of the Battle of Geonosis, having barely survived a lightsaber duel with Obi-Wan and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, then another battle with Yoda. Dooku then returned to Coruscant to report his failure to his Master, Darth Sidious, but was surprised to learn that Sidious was happy with the outcome. Count Dooku remained as Darth Tyranus, and continued to lead the Separatists during the three years of fighting during the Clone Wars. It was during this time that he also took on an apprentice of his own, Asajj Ventress, whom he had discovered in the gladiator pits of Rattaka. It was believed that Dooku hoped to train Ventress as a Sith, in an attempt to overthrow Darth Sidious.
During the height of the Clone Wars, it was learned that several clones of Dooku had been created. These clones were placed in locations where the Republic would find and destroy them, adding to the confusion of the battle by making the Republic chase down every possible lead on Dooku's whereabouts. Some thirty months after Geonosis, he hatched his most devious plan, hoping to lure Yoda himself to Vjun. Although Dooku believed that eliminating Yoda would crush the resolve of the Old Republic, he was unprepared for the feelings aroused within him at the prospect of facing Yoda again. When Yoda arrived on Vjun, he asked Dooku to do the unexpected. Rather than demanding a battle, Yoda asked Dooku to turn him to the Dark Side of the Force, to experience the powerand greatness of it. Dooku feared that, if Yoda were turned, he would eliminate Darth Sidious and destroy the galaxy. He tried to fight Yoda again, but was forced to flee when Republic reinforcements arrived.
Upon returning to Sidious' side, Dooku was given a series of orders that were to be carried out in order to eliminate Obi-Wan Kenobi, thereby orphaning Anakin Skywalker. Dooku understood that young Skywalker would eventually become Sidious' apprentice, but was unable to kill Kenobi. He was briefly on Kaon before being ordered by Sidious to Tythe, where he was nearly captured by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, just prior to the First Battle of Coruscant. Dooku returned to Coruscant after escaping the Jedi, only to be confronted by them once again aboard the Invisible Hand. Dooku's military leader, General Grievous, had managed to capture Chancellor Palpatine, who ensured Dooku that he would intervene if the Jedi managed to get too close to them. In a fateful duel, Anakin finally bested Dooku, but Dooku remained sure that Palpatine would rescue him. However, Dooku soon realized that his time as Darth Sidious' apprentice had come to an end. Palpatine allowed Anakin to behead Dooku during their struggle, just before the Jedi managed to free the Chancellor.
After news of Dooku's death moved swiftly throughout the galaxy, many beings began to wonder openly why Palpatine continued to pursue the war against the Separatists. Among the loudest voices were the Senators who made up the Delegation of the Two Thousand.

Dool Arena
This reinforced cage was formed in the heart of The Broken Tusk, a bar and restaurant located on Reuss VIII. Dug into the ground and surrounded by plasteel walls, the Dool Arena was used to stage hand-to-hand combat between various opponents, for the pleasure of the patrons of the Broken Tusk. All combat in the arena was governed by the Dool Rool, which simply stated "no ranged weapons allowed in the arena." Everything else was fair game. It was later discovered that many of the lesser-known combatants who fought in the Arena were actually Imperial prisoners who refused to break under interrogation. Fights were often staged after-hours, with the audience being made up of a select group of top Imperial officers and their staffs. In events which became known as Survival Day fights, the captives were given two options: turn over the information, or defeat Tull Raine in one-on-one combat.

Doole, Moruth
This Rybet was the leader of the spice-smuggling operations on Kessel, during the early years of the New Republic. He was distinguished by his clothing, which was made from the hides of "lesser" reptilian species, and his one mechanical eye, which replaced the one he lost in a struggle with some of Jabba's hitmen. Doole had been held accountable for the load of glitterstim spice that was dumped by Han Solo, shortly before the Battle of Yavin, after Doole had ratted Solo out to the Imperials. One of Jabba's men almost killed Doole, but succeeded only in blinded one of his eyes and damaging the other. Doole later claimed that he had to beg for them to take only the one eye. As a prisoner at the Spice Mines of Kessel, Doole, bribed and murdered his way to the top of Kessel's underworld operations, and was the primary source of bootleg spice during the Imperial occupation of Kessel. Doole, always the opportunist, sought to free himself from Imperial control and get back at Jabba by killing off the prison warden - a man whom Jabba had already bought - and overthrowing the Imperials. Once in power, Doole set up a harem of captive female Rybets for his own pleasure. He then used the offspring he sired on them as slaves in the spice mines. This eventually led to his demise, however. Shortly after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, Han Solo and Chewbacca traveled to Kessel to open formal relations between the New Republic and Doole's operations. The Millennium Falcon was shot down by Doole's forces, in an effort to exact another measure of revenge for his lost eye. He placed the pair in the labor camps of the mines, hoping that the Republic would believe them to have been waylayed. Han and Chewie managed to escape with Kyp Durron into the Maw, only to find themselves pursued by Admiral Daala and her Imperial forces. Their return to Kessel sparked a firefight between Doole's ragtag defense fleet and Admiral Daala's forces, after Daala believed that Kessel housed a rebel base. Doole lost nearly ninety percent of his protective naval force, and found himself without a defense fleet. Rather than abandon the mines, however, Doole secured himself deep within. He placed his own larval offspring at strategic positions, hoping to survive long enough to regain a position of power. When Solo returned to Kessel with Lando Calrissian, Doole tried to escape them, only to be turned on by his various wives and children. He fled into the mines, where he was attacked and killed an energy spider.

This Twi'lek woman was the only non-human member of the ExGal-4 outpost on Belkadan at the time Yomin Carr arrived at the planet. She was strong-willed and stubborn, and was often forced to submit to the demands of Danni Quee. She was one of the many ExGal people who took recreational intoxicants to alleviate the boredom of listening for extra-galactic activity, a practice despised by Danni Quee. When their sensors noticed a huge storm brewing on the planet, she led a group out to scout the storm. However, they discovered the Belkadan had become an ecological wasteland, thanks to the dweebit beetles unleashed by Yomin Carr. Bendodi Ballow-Reese, a member of the search group, realized that they would never make it back to ExGal-4, and committed suicide so that his oxygen could be used by the remaining members. Soon, just Tee-ubo and Jerem Cadmir were left. Tee-ubo realized that both would never make it, and she gave Jerem her oxygen pack and allowed the noxious atmosphere to destroy her.

This was one of the primary sections of the Mon Gazza Maze podracing course. The name of this section came from the fact that it was formed from a collection of old drainage pipes that were twisted together into a single unit. Although there were many pipe openings to choose from, a racer had to be sure and choose one that did not abruptly end or reduce in diameter. Even if a rider managed to enter a pipe that was wide enough to accommodate their podracer, the tubes twisted and rolled along their lengths, forcing a rider to maneuver their racer in near-dark conditions.

Doom Slayer
This series of assassin droid was designed and manufactured by Sythluss Leethe. The design was based on a standard Sluissi security droid, and resembled an adult Sluissi when fully extended. At rest, the Doom Slayer rolled itself up into a tight, well-armored sphere. Leethe protected the droid with a lightweight armor, into which he placed a series of microcircuits, and which was painted with a special chemical paint. This combination allowed the droid to sense the electromagentic environment around it and alter its coloration to blend in with its background. When in attack mode, the Doom Slayer unfolds its tail, which housed a modified BlasTech T-21 light repeating blaster. A trio of MGL-1 microgrenade launchers give the spherical body the appearance of a face. Two manipulator arms could be extended from the body, to graps objects or victims. Because of the high cost of building the droid, Leethe would only use it to collect bounties worth 100,000 credits or more, in order to recover his operating costs. It was rumored that he had been contracted to use the Doom Slayer to kill Jabba the Hutt, and collected his fee before Leia Organa killed the crimelord herself. The spherical body of the Doom Slayer measured a meter in diameter, and its tail added another meter to its overall length when extended. Leethe sent one of these droids to Gelgelar to destroy the Alliance's drop point in Gelgelar Free Port, but the droid was destroyed by Ihvin Jayme and Maglenna Pendower.

The Doomgiver was defended by several shipboard laser cannons and several TIE Fighter squadrons. The ship was eventually destroyed by the New Republic's Rogue Squadron over Yavin 4, when Kyle Katarn managed to infiltrate the ship and damage its shield arrays. The ship managed to deploy it drop pods before exploding, allowing Imperial military forces to reach the planet and launch an attack on Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum.

A native of the planet Nubia, this dark-skinned man was one of the many Jedi Masters who were pressed into service as military leaders, during the height of the Clone Wars. Years earlier, Master D'oon had been dispatched to Kalee, along with Master Jmmaar, to mediate a resolution to the Huk Wars. Their decision was ultimately to rule in favor of the Huks, an action that led to the destitution of the Kaleesh people. Among the Kaleesh, Master D'oon became known as the Executioner of Kalee. During the Clone Wars, Master D'oon and his Padawan, Flynn Kybo, were dispatched to Vandos to rescue Ambassador Quiyyen, unaware that General Grievous had set a trap for them. Grievous, once known as the Kaleesh warrior Qumaen Jai Sheelal, never forgot that it was D'oon who had doomed his people to poverty. Once Quiyyen was secured, D'oon allowed Kybo to reach their escape ship while holding of the Separatist forces that were pursuing them. The appearance of General Grievous only hardened D'oon's resolve to ensure the safety of Quiyyen and his Padawan, and he challenged Grievous to a duel. However, despite his own powers with the Force, Master D'oon was cut down by the General.

A heavy metal used by the Empire in most of the construction of its war machines, doonium was mined from asteroids and other small planetoids by a variety of corporations. During the last decades of the Old Republic, the planet Atraken was also a source, but the ravages of the Clone Wars precluded any form of mining operation there. The mining and export of doonium was carefully monitored by the Mining Guild, due to the metal's value throughout the galaxy. During the construction of the second Death Star, the Empire mined huge amounts of doonium from the planetoid Dor.

Dor
This planetoid was the fourth, and outermost, world in the Endor System. Many historians believed that Dor's presence in the system was what drew Imperial forces to Endor, since its crust and mantle were exceptionally rich in pure metals, alloys, and crystals. Astrophysicists argued for many years about how the small planetoid could have become so rich in natural materials, including phobium, doonium, zersium, neutronium, iron, gold, and crystallized lommite. However, independent prospectors found it nearly impossible to penetrate the thick crust, and many small mining operations failed to turn a profit while trying to mine Dor. The Empire, however, used a massive concentration of firepower to crack Dor's crust open. Once spherical in shape, Dor was reduced to a ragged, unstable world that lacked any sort of structural integrity by the excavations of the Empire.

This man was one of Senator Palpatine's closest advisors, and continued to serve Palpatine after his election as Supreme Chancellor. Unknown to most other beings, Doriana was also working as a spy and agent for Darth Sidious, the Sith Lord who rose ot power at the same time. Unknown to Doriana was the fact that Palpatine and Sidious were the same person. One of his first missions for Palpatine occurred about five years after the Battle of Naboo, when Doriana was dispatched with the Neimoidian commander Kav to intercept and destroy the Dreadnaughts of the Outbound Flight project. The mission started badly, when their fleet of fifteen warships was reduced to a single Trade Federation battleship by the small force led by then Force Commander Thrawn. Doriana realized that his mission would be a failure, and his own death would be a certainty, if he didn't convince Thrawn to destroy Outbound Flight. Doriana tried to explain that the Jedi had become a threat to the galaxy, but Thrawn saw through his lies and demanded the truth. Doriana then revealed that he was working for Darth Sidious, and that his master had foreseen the arrival of the Far Outsiders to the galaxy. Sidious feared that any contact between the Jedi aboard Outbound Flight and the Far Outsiders would result in an acceleration of the invaders' plans to attack the galaxy. This was enough to convince Thrawn, who had had some experience with the Far Outsiders, and he agreed to help Doriana. However, Thrawn also had his own agenda, and used the opportunity to also strike back at the Vagaari. Although Outbound Flight was not fully destroyed, it was believed that all aboard were killed then Thrawn used radiation bombs against each of the six Dreadnaughts. With the Jedi eliminated, Doriana was allowed to return to Coruscant with several objectives in mind. First and foremost was to report on the elimination of Outbound Flight to Darth Sidious and Chancellor Palpatine, which required Doriana to spin two different versions of the same tale. Second, he had promised Lorana Jinzler to locate her brother, Dean, and tell that she was thinking about him. Lastly, he had agreed to a request from Thrawn to allow Jorj Car'das help him establish an information network. Just after the start of the Clone Wars, Doriana was dispatched to Cartao to secure the assistance of Spaarti Creations in manufacturing modern cloning cylinders. He found himself torn between his duty to the Old Republic and his allegiance to Darth Sidious, who wanted Doriana on Cartao to ensure that the ravages of the Clone Wars came to the planet.

Dorin
This planet, located in the Expansion Region, was the homeworld of the Kel Dor race. The planet's atmosphere was very unusual in that it supported life with just the barest traces of oxygen. This required that any Kel Dor individuals who were travelling away from Dorin to wear anti-ox masks to filter out oxygen. Much of the planet's industry was based on technology. Its location was unusual in that its primary star was situated between two blackholes, which meant that travel to and from Dorin was quite dangerous. Thus, Dorin and the Kel Dor were considered mysterious and menacing by many of the galaxy's inhabitants.

Dorja
An elderly Imperial Navy Captain under Grand Admiral Thrawn, he was the commander of the Relentless. He came from a family of starship commanders from the planet Coruscant, being the seventh in a long line of naval officers. He was granted command of the Relentless prior to the Battle of Endor, although his cautious style of command had often been questioned by other Captains. He was with Pellaeon following the Battle of Endor, and although he agreed with the decision to retreat, he did not approve of Pellaeon's assumption of command. Dorja's lack of initiative at the Battle of Endor meant that he was relegated to a secondary position in Grand Admiral Thrawn's Navy, and this rankled even more. Dorja stayed on, though, in hopes that he could one day assume command of the fleet and return the New Order to its rightful position in the galaxy. Dorja survived the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn and the series of defeats the Empire suffered to the New Republic, and was one of the thirteen Captains who remained in control of their Star Destroyers ten years later. He was then called upon by Moff Disra to intercept Admiral Pellaeon at Morishim, but Dorja was not given the specifics of the mission. At the same briefing, Dorja was stunned to see Thrawn join the discussion. Masterfully portrayed by the con artist Flim, Thrawn seemed resurrected, and Dorja was completely fooled by the performance. He agreed to go to Morishim and intercept an Imperial courier, which turned out to be Colonel Vermel's ship en route to extend a peace treaty to Garm Bel Iblis.

The negotiations were tricky, since the droid brains were capable of controlling military-grade automata. After escaping the Battle of Coruscant, Commander Dorja fled to the planet Calamari, where the New Republic had set up its provisional capital. It was there that Leia Organa Solo agreed to take her back to Imperial space, since Leia was headed there already.

This stern man, distinguished by his long, straight hair, was one of the many planetary Governors who served the Galactic Alliance, during the years leading up to the Sith-Imperial War. In the aftermath of that battle and the Massacre at Ossus, he agreed to serve the New Empire and support the rulership of Darth Krayt, in the aftermath of the Sith-Imperial War and the Massacre at Ossus. As such, he was a key component in Darth Maladi's plan to eliminate Emperor Roan Fel on Bastion.
As ordered by Darth Maladi, Governer Dorn traveled to Bastion in his flagship, the Star Destroyer Dauntless, and offered his services to Emperor Fel. When Dorn was ordered to fly to the planet's surface in a shuttle, Darth Kruhl would hide in the shuttle's hold and emerge once they were on the ground. If Kruhl was successful, they would escape in the chaos that followed the Emperor's death. Failure, as defined by Darth Maladi, would mean not only Dorn's own death, but that of his son as well.
Unfortunately for Governor Dorn, Emperor Fel was aware of the attack, and was able to kill Darth Kruhl in combat. Fel then demanded a meeting with the Governor. He also demanded that the entire crew of the Dauntless disembark on Bastion. When the two men met, Emperor Fel ordered his soldiers to fire on the crew, executing ever last being as punishment for Dorn's duplicity. With the knowledge that his son had been killed, Dorn was allowed to return to Coruscant with a message for the Sith. Upon arriving on Coruscant, Dorn delivered the message cylinder, but was executed by Darth Maladi for his failure.

Owen's stepmother, Shmi Skywalker Lars, had been captured by the Tuskens, and Cliegg Lars had roused the local farmers to rescue her. Sholh was one the few who survived the attack, and helped rescue the injured Lars and return him to his moisture farm. Sholh himself was badly injured, and his injuries only worsened as the years went by. To assist with the duties of running his moisture farm, Dorr purchased the droid known as 3B6-RA-7 at the annual Droidfest of Tatooine. Although Threebee came to care for its master, Dorr held no illusions about the droid. He knew that it was an RA-7 series protocol droid, and had probably once been owned by a high-ranking Imperial officer. In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, he discovered that RA-7 units were in high demand as collectors' items, and he sold Threebee at auctionon Eport for more than a thousand times the droid's original purchase price.

Dorsk
This Khommite served as the genetic template for more than eighty generations of Khommites, after the natives of the planet Khomm decided to halt their own genetic evolution and create clones of ideal individuals. The eighty-first descendant of Dorsk exhibited an anomaly in his genetics, and acquired a strong sensitivity to the Force. Dorsk 81 became one of the new Jedi Knights, during the early years of the New Republic. Although his sensitivity to the Force was originally viewed as an aberration, it was eventually isolated and maintained for future generations.

Dorsk 80
This Khommite was Dorsk 81's genetic predecessor. Like many other Khommites, Dorsk 80 frowned on his descendant's uniqueness.

Dorsk 81
This Khommite was the eighty-first member of a family which had been cloned from the same source of genetic material - the original Dorsk. His cloning was flawed, however, and for some unexplained reason he gained the use of The Force. A native of the planet Khomm, Dorsk 81 had the characteristic thin body shape and smooth skin of his race. He had no lips, and his skin was mottled with green and yellow. His nose was flat, and his ears laid flat against his hairless skull. Dorsk 81 trained for many yeas at Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, where he found himself becoming friends with Kyp Durron. Although Kyp betrayed their friendship while seeking out Exar Kun, Dorsk 81 realized that Kyp had been possessed by Kun's spirit, and eventually forgave him. After attaining the rank of Jedi Knight, he returned to Khomm, only to find his relatives and his race still stagnant and unwilling to accept his success. He and Kyp Durron left the planet and discovered Admiral Daala's fleet massing in the Core Systems. They fled the Core, racing back to Yavin 4 to warn the Jedi Academy. In a confrontation between the might of Pellaeon's seventeen Star Destroyers and the Force, Dorsk 81 channeled the combined strength of more than thirty Jedi and literally pushed the Star Destroyers out of the system. He was physically unable to withstand the great power of the united Force, and was burned from the inside out by the wave of energy sent against the fleet. Note that The New Essential Chronolgy mistakenly names Dorsk 81 as the individual who was killed by Aqualish thugs on Ando, instead of Dorsk 82.
(DA, COTF, DS, EGP, NECH)
Dorsk 82
This Khommite, a genetic descendant of Dorsk 81, was living on Khomm when Dorsk 81 returned there after becoming a full Jedi Knight. Although he had been trained to manage the cloning facilities on Khomm, Dorsk 82 showed some of his ancestor's sensitivity to the Force, and traveled to Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 in hopes of realizing his potential. He was befriended by Kyp Durron, who found Dorsk 81's lightsaber and presented it to him. Shortly after joining the school, Dorsk 82 was influential in the defeat of the Leviathan of Corbos. Upon becoming a full Jedi Knight, Dorsk 82 was dispatched to the planet Ando during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, to scout the Vong's actions and assist in any evacuation efforts. Dorsk 82 found himself protecting the droids of Imthitill from destruction. He was stranded on Ando when the Aqualish destroyed his ship, and later killed when he refused to cooperate with the Aqualish.

(REPL)
Dorumaa
This moon, the only satellite in orbit around the planet Almas, was one of the most popular tourist worlds of the Mid Rim. Once an inner planet of the Cularin System, Dorumaa was an aquatic world where water covered about eighty-five percent of its surface. Ages ago, the world was knocked out of its orbit by a massive impact with another interstellar body. The impact pushed Dorumaa into Almas' gravity well, and its surface was literally flash-frozen as it moved into its new location. The frozen world was thawed out by terraformers of the Dorumaa Investment Group, who recognized the moon's potential and believed that there was no life left on the moon. Unknown to DIG, a variety of eggs and spores were also frozen, and began to revive as the moon warmed up. While the "rebirth" of the moon had been used as a marketing tool, many investors worry that some terrible creature had been released into the seas. A meteor strike on Dorumaa some two years before the onset of the Clone Wars led to the rebirth of the last leviathan, which had survived the freezing process. What made the leviathan's rebirth even more remarkable was that fact that it gave birth to twins shortly after being revived.
(LFC, DC, RCTC)
Dorumaa Investment Group
This group of investors, based in the Cularin System, funded the terraforming of the moon Dorumaa. They hoped to create a tourist world, but were unaware of the fact that a wealth of life existed in the frozen seas of the moon. Once Dorumaa was habitable, DIG became the largest conglomerate found on the moon. Founded by a group of Humans, Gungans, and Twi'leks, DIG owned a number of resorts through their management outfit, Dorumaa Resort. DIG obtained funding from a variety of sources, and had representatives from SoroSuub Corporation and the business powers of Genarius on its board of directors.

Dorumaa Research Institute
This educational facility was established near the Greentree Pointe Resort, on the world of Dorumaa, after the frozen surface on the world was thawed out during an immense terraforming operation, several years before the Battle of Naboo. The Dorumaa Research Institute was founded to investigate the strange lifeforms that inhabited the planet's biosphere, as many of them had never been seen before. The Institute experienced a large increase in popularity after a leviathan was found to be living in the oceans of Dorumaa, and this popularity only increased after the female gave birth to twin calves. In order to ensure the security of the calves, the Institute took control of the sight-seeing tours that were launched on the oceans. They hoped to limit the exposure the leviathan calves received, in an effort to ensure that they grew up in an environment that was as natural as possible. Researchers at the Institute also placed tracking beacons on the two calves, so that their locations and movements could be monitored at all times. The leaders and members of the Institute were often at odds with the Alliance for the Creation of Habitable Environments, which had similar goals but tended to be more sensationalistic in their plans to achieve them.

Dorvald, Seha
This eager, red-haired, young woman was one of the many students of the Force who studied at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the years following the Swarm War. As a child, Seha lived with her family on Coruscant, until the planet was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong and reformed into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar. Her family was killed in the attacks, although Seha and her father managed to escape to the undercity. After her father was killed by a poisonous Yuuzhan Vong insect, Seha lived by herself, until she encountered Jacen Solo in the Well of the World Brain. She hated the World Brain, but Jacen explained that the creature was merely doing what it had evolved to do. He then discovered that Seha was sensitive to the Force, and arranged for her to become a student at the Jedi training facility that was constructed on Coruscant, despite the fact that she was an older student.
She remained close to Jacen, since she was grateful for the opportunity he had given her. Although she was three of four years older, Seha found herself attracted to Ben Skywalker. Thus, she was more than happy to assist Jacen Solo's agents in secretly passing message to Ben, during the period he was forced to stay at the Jedi Temple with his parents. She continued to serve as Jacen's eyes and ears in the Jedi Temple, passing him information that she thought might be helpful. Over time, however, she began to question her loyalty to Jacen, especially after he ordered the assault on the Jedi training center on Ossus. She then decided to come forward to the Jedi Masters and reveal herself. She aided the Jedi in their flight from the Jedi Temple, after Grand Master Luke Skywalker withdrew the Jedi Order from the Galactic Alliance, and ensured that Jacen's agents were unable to recover anything from the computer cores at the Jedi Temple. Thus, when Master Skywalker began planning a mission to capture or eliminate Jacen Solo, Seha volunteered to help the Jedi enter Jacen's private offices. Her knowledge of Jacen's location was used to ensure that every Jedi knew how to get in and get out, in case they were separated. Once in Jacen's offices, Seha was ordered to wait until the fighting reached its most chaotic, then attach a cloth-like tracking device on Jacen's cloak. In this way, if the Jedi mission was unsuccessful, then the rest of the Jedi could still track Jacen's movements. Seha then rescued Kyle Katarn and the rest of the Jedi, using her minimal skills in the Force to get them to safety aboard a shuttle.
Despite her efforts, Seha was regarded by many of her peers as something of a traitor for her relationship with Jacen, although Jedi Master Octa Ramis did not share this bias. Master Ramis took Seha as her apprentice, and set about training her in the ways of the Force. Some three years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, Seha and Master Ramis were assigned to the small task force that was charged with locating and detaining Valin Horn, after his escape from the Jedi Temple. The pair tracked Valin Horn to the Senate Rotunda, but were barred from entered because of the events surrounding the Unification Summit. When Valin stole an X-Wing and tried to escape, Master Ramis jumped on the ship and tried to stop him. She breached the cockpit with her lightsaber, but was unable to maintain her grip when he went into a roll. Seha was as surprised as Master Ramis when her instincts took over, and she drew upon the Force to cushion her Master's fall.

Dorvalla
This planet was the Imperial captial of Cadavine Sector, during the height of the New Order.
(SESB)
Dorvalla
This planet, located in the Videnda Sector of the galaxy, was the site of massive lommite mines, owned by Lommite Limited and InterGalactic Ore during the last decades of the Old Republic. A normally temperate world, the mining operations had turned Dorvalla into a world covered with lommite dust. From space, Dorvalla seemed to have a thick band of perpetual clouds, as the dust was carried aloft by the planet's jetstream. In the rainy season, the dust turned to thick mud, making surface travel virtually impossible. This planet was located near the systems of Clak'dor, Sullust, and Malastare, which made shipping of the lommite to more sizable ports relatively simple. Dorvalla had a single moon.

Dorvalla Mining
This small corporation was formed when the remaining companies of Lommite Limited and InterGalactic Ores merged, after both were nearly destroyed by the Toom Clan, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. The collapse of both corporations, which was engineered by Darth Sidious in order to gain control of the lommite mines, left them with only enough resources to continue the mining operations. Dorvalla Mining, with its growing influence, then became a member of the Commerce Guild. Their fleets of ore haulers were destroyed, and so the Trade Federation was given complete control of shipping in the Dorvalla System. This fit into Darth Sidious' plans to build up the Trade Federation's armies of battle droids, in preparation for the blockade of Naboo.

Dorvan, Wynn
It was believed that there were some 170,000 individuals who were living on the planet Coruscant with the name Wynn Dorvan, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War.
(FJ3)
Dorvan, Wynn
This man served as a personal assistant to Natasi Daala, during her tenure as Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance. Wynn Dorvan's service to the government began during the early years of the New Republic, when he served as underdeputy of the Republic's tenolodium reserves. He gained notoriety when he exposed his own supervisor in a skimming operation, going directly to Chief of State Leia Organa rather than taking a bribe to keep quiet. Dorvan then earned a reputation as a reliable and dedicated member of the government, and this allowed him to rise through the ranks. Although he was a slightly-built man, Dorvan was known as much for his impeccable dress and appearance as for his competence on the job. He lacked any family of his own, and kept his office free of any personal items. The only affectation he managed to hold onto was the pet chitlik he called Pocket, which Daala chose to ignore because of Dorvan's dedication to her office. Daala found Dorvan to be an invaluable resource, since he was able to anticipate her needs and prepare her for almost any situation. Dorvan also worked behind the scenes to help moderate the public effects of Daala's own personal beliefs, including her penchant for hiring females such as Desha Lor for positions within the government. It was Dorvan who first learned of the actions of Jysella Horn, when she lashed out at her fellow Jedi, after he was reviewing HoloNet new reports.
Following the actions of Natua Wan, Dorvan worked out a way for Daala to turn the so-called "Insane Jedi Rampage" to the advantage of the Galactic Alliance. Part of this plan involved leaking the possibility that Daala might hire a group of Mandalorians to deal with the Jedi, during a meeting with Imperial Chief of State Jagged Fel. Following this, Dorvan initiated an encrypted communication with Han and Leia Solo which Dorvan kept secret from Daala, during which he explained to the Solos that Daala was getting ready to hire a company of Mandalorians to defend the galaxy from the Jedi Order. This revelation startled the Solos, especially when Dorvan revealed that Jagged Fel was aware of the Mandalorians, because Dorvan had counted on Fel telling his fiance, who happened to be Jaina Solo. Leia Solo assumed that he was bluffing about the Mandalorian issue, and tried to call him on it. Dorvan explained that he was not bluffing, but he was actually worried that Chief of State Daala was acting on a set of flawed beliefs and expectations about the Jedi and the Sith, and their roles in the galaxy. He implored the Solos to ensure that the Jedi Order was aware of Daala's plans, regardless of what happened with Jagged and Jaina, in order to help prevent Daala from doing anything really damaging.

When a group of slavers found and attacked The Enclave, Dorv disobeyed Master Thorla's orders to stay put, and entered the fighting. He was captured and stunned by a slaver, but was eventually rescued by one of the freelance agents who were on Ryloth to locate Master Thorla.

Dossa found herself the target of a Jedi investigation, and was often forced to defend herself against Haazen. However, she found that Haazen's connection to the Force was no match for her own abilities, and she took great pleasure in toying with him before escaping, whenever their paths crossed. She nearly killed Haazen on Arkania, and he was saved only by the timely intervention of Barrisan Draay, who was on the planet for his wedding to Lady Krynda. Dossa managed to escape, knowing that she had beaten Haazen once again. Dossa did not cross paths with Haazen for ten years, until they encountered one another on Toprawa, during the height of the Great Sith War. Dossa had been working for the Sith, but recognized the possibility that Exar Kun might not win the war. She then offered Haazen a deal: his life, in exchange for leading the Jedi who were with him into a trap. Haazen agreed, unaware that Dossa was actually in league with the Sith Lord known as Doc Uburluh. When Haazen led Barrison Draay and the other Jedi into the Ansharii Cavenrns, Dossa set off a series of explosions in the caves that killed the Jedi and severely maimed Haazen. Uburluh then used a combination of Sith medicine and cybernetics to replace Haazen's damaged body parts. When Haazen regained consciousness, Dossa explained that he was still alive, but that he was now a pawn of the Sith. Haazen refused to bow to the Sith, and used the strength of his cybernetics to kill both Dossa and Uburluh.

Double-bladed Lightsaber
This form of lightsaber was most often associated with the Dark Jedi and the Sith, although there were a few Jedi Knights in the history of the galaxy who used such a weapon. Depending on the creator, the double-bladed lightsaber took one of two forms. The simplest form consisted of two single-bladed weapons attached at the end to form a single weapon. This allowed for a wide range of variation among the two blades, although it was most common to find that the same type of blade was used for both ends. This form of double-bladed lightsaber could be used as a single weapon, or twisted apart to form two separate weapons, depending on the combat situation. The second form was much more difficult to construct, as it used a single shaft to house separate focusing crystals. These crystals could be powered by a single cell or two cells, depending on the energy created by the power cells being used. Reagrdless of the type, wielding a double-bladed lightsaber took different training than the use of a single-bladed weapon, training that was much more difficult than expected. Although it could do more damage, a double-bladed weapon was still a single unit, and required longer, sweeping movements to wield properly. Thus, it could not be readily used to jab or thrust. However, the inherent difficulty of wielding the double-bladed lightsaber was perhaps its primary advantage, as very few individuals in the galaxy knew how to use it, how to attack an individual wielding one, or how to defend against its use. Quite often, an opponent facing a double-bladed lightsaber for the first time became hesitant, diverting some portion of their consciousness to looking for a weakness.

Doum, Mag
This humanoid was a native of the planet Arda-2. He was responsible for the Empire receiving huge numbers of T-6 diodems during the Galactic Civil War. When the Empire learned that Arda-2 was supplying the diodems to the Alliance, they enlisted the aid of Doum in obtaining some for their own use. Doum refurbished diodems from home-service devices and sold them to the Empire at a ten-times markup. He was ousted from the government when his treacherous acts were discovered by Luke Skywalker.

Doune
This Herglic was known as a notoriously lucky sabacc player during the early years of the New Republic. Doune maintained his base of operations on the planet Morado. After Doune won nearly everything the young human Nyo had, he entered into another match with the legendary Kinnin Vo-Shay. Vo-Shay quickly won more than 200,000 credits from Doune, and turned the money over to Nyo so that the young man could purchase a lightsaber. Doune then beat them to Nar Shaddaa and bought the weapoyo wanted. In a second sabacc match, Doune managed to win Vo-Shay's amulet, believing that the amulet somehow gave V-Shay an edge. Little did Doune know that the amulet was simply a gift from a female acquiantance of Kinnin's and had no magic powers whatsoever.

This man was a member of the Coruscant Security Force during the early stages of the Clone Wars. When Senator Meena Tills was kidnapped and held hostage by Nuriin-Ar and his gang, Lieutenant Dovel was assigned to the investigation team that was led by Commander Obrim. Dovel chafed at the plans of Obrim and the clone commandos of Omega Squad, who wanted to get in and out as quickly as possible, without losing any of the hostages. Dovel wanted to wait for a Jedi to come and begin negotiations for the release of the hostages.
(SWI81)
Dovin Basal
This unusual piece of Yuuzhan Vong technology acts on the gravitational properties of a target body. They can be used like repuslors, to maintain a position above the ground, or in a reverse action to maintain contact with the ground. Individual dovin basals were spherical in shape, measuring about three meters across. They could lock onto a specific gravity source - even one surrounded by others - and focus their lock with extreme precision. The more focused the lock, the stronger it became, even across hundreds of thousands of kilometers. This allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to employ them as perpetual sources of thrust for their yorik coral worldships. Dovin basals resemble a large, dark red heart with deep blue spikes surrounding its body. Several battles into the invasion, the New Republic's starfighter pilots realized that the dovin basals also provided coralskippers with unusual shielding. Rogue Squadron discovered that the stronger a coralskipper's shielding, the less maneuverable the fighter was. They used reverse logic, and forced the skips to maneuver more in a dogfight, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the dovin basal shielding. As the struggle against the New Republic continued, the Yuuzhan Vong mined major hyperspace routes with dovin basals, although their primary function was not to ambush Republic ships. In reality, the dovin basals were reading the gravitic output of passing Yuuzhan Vong ships, allowing the Warmaster Tsavong Lah and his command structure to monitor the progress of every Yuuzhan Vong starship. Certain of these dovin basals were actually equipped with explosives, and could target specific ships with incredible accuracy. 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 dovin basals and many other bio-engineered devices simply reverted to their natural forms. This was one way in which Sekot forced the Yuuzhan Vong to give up their lust for war and embrace a more enlightened existence.
(VP, DTR, DJ, EL2, UF)
Dovin Missile
This was the New Republic's name for any projectile launched into battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, in an effort to locate a dovin basal mine that had been laid by the alien invaders. The missile's mission was send out a triangulated signal until it was absorbed by the mine. The point at which the signal stopped indicated the mine's location, allowing New Republic forces to destroy it.
(DW)
Dovlis, Reldo
This Imperial Navy Captain served aboard the Peacekeeper, and was part of the fleet which was sent to take out Nar Shaddaa. Dovlis was an older, less imaginative officer than Soontir Fel, the other Captain serving under Admiral Greelanx during the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. Dovlis was the first commander to realize that the smugglers were using illusory ships to discourage the Imperials, but he quickly discovered that real ships were hidden among the fakes. The Peacekeeper took a large amount of damage to its starboard engines, and soon found itself without power. Dovlis ordered the engines brought back on-line when the ship began drifting toawrd Nar Shaddaa. The failsafes were overridden, but the spasmodic thrust the engines provided only pushed the ship closer to the moon. When they gave out altogther, the Peacekeeper plunged into Nar Shaddaa's planetary shield. Dovlis died in battle, taking out a section of the moon's shield with his own ship.
(THG)
Dovos, Shas
This man was native of Onderon, and a dedicated student of metallurgy who stumbled upon an old text of Sith magicks nearly 1,000 after the fall of Sith Empire. Shas had found the book in an ancient Onderonian temple in the wilds near his village, and started reading it. The book intrigued him, as it dealt with the formation of a heavy, spiked set of jet-black armor. While many considered the armor a work of art, Shas knew that much of the armor was imbued with Sith alchemy. After ten years, he finished the armor, and event which unleashed the Sith spirit trapped in the text. The spirit used its own Sith powers to meld Shas's essence to that of the armor, creating a new creature it named Warb Null. Shas Donos, from that point onward, ceased to exist.

Dow, Helina
This female Genian worked as the head of production and distribution for Fry Industries on her homeworld of Genian, during the height of the Clone Wars. When Talesan Fry planned to sell his foolproof codebreaker to the Old Republic, the Jedi Order dispatched Obi-Wan Kenobi, Siri Tachi, Anakin Skywalker, and Senator Padme' Amidala to Genian to acquire it. The Jedi discovered that Helina Dow was actually a spy, planted by the Separatists many years earlier. Helina tried to trap the Jedi behind several holographic false-doors, then managed to steal the codebreaker before heading to her ship. The Jedi reached the hangar at the same time, and confronted her about her duplicity. She explained that she had been hired by Passel Argente to infiltrate Fry Industries, and that she had been ordered to turn over anything important to the Separatists. After Helina indicated that she had the codebreaker, Argente dispatched the former bounty hunter Magus to recover the codebreaker. In the hangar, Magus shot and killed Helina as he tried to make off with the codebreaker.

Dowager Queen
This was the name of the first colony ship to arrive during the modern colonization of Tatooine, about 100 years before the Battle of Yavin. Unfortunately, the Dowager Queen was forced to make a crash-landing when it arrived, and the wreckage was left where it landed. Over time, the city of Mos Eisley grew up around it. Decades later, the Dowager Queen's remained formed a series of homes and hiding places for the city's homeless. Its skeleton also served as the construction basis for the Dowager Queen hotel.

Dowager Queen
This first-class hotel was constructed from the wreckage of the colonization vessel know as the Dowager Queen, which was forced to crash-land when it arrived on Tatooine, many decades before the Galactic Civil War. Although the outlying sections of the wreckage became a haven for the homeless, the main skeleton was used as the core of the Dowager Queen hotel. The location of the hotel at the very center of Mos Eisley made it accessible to every being who traveled to Tatooine. In addition to its overnight rooms, the Dowager Queen also had several large convention halls, and hosted some of the Outer Rim's largest trade shows during the ealry years of the New Republic.

This was a noted Quarren politician, who served as one of his species' representatives to the Old Republic Senate some twenty-two years before the Battle of Yavin. After Senator Tikkes was implicated in a Thalassian slavery ring and fled the Republic to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Dowmeia and Meena Tills were named as joint Senators from the planet Mon Calamari, working together for the betterment of the entire population. Unlike his predecessor, Senator Dowmeia was focused on the Republic's well-being, a stance that led him to join Meena Tills as a part of the Delegation of the Two Thousand. Unfortunately, Senator Dowmeia was among the first Senators to be arrested for their part in the Petition, after Palpatine instituted the New Order and assumed the position of Emperor.

(SHPT)
Downlevels
This was the term used by the natives of the planet Coruscant to describe the lower levels of the planetwide cityscape. Many beings defined the downlevels as those city levels that existed below the atmosphere inversion layer that was found on the planet, since the smog in the inversion layer prevented a being in the upper levels from seeing down into the lower levels. Depending on the atmospheric conditions, the inversion layer began at about the 115th level of the city. Because of the depths, most areas in the downlevels did not experience a natural progression from day to night. Sunlight never reached these depths, which were lit by the garrish signs of various establishments.

Dox, Garil
This Alderaanian man was one of the few members of his society to join the Empire. Lieutenant Dox served as a gunner aboard the Reprisal, during the months following the Battle of Yavin. However, after the destruction of his homeworld of Alderaan, Dox decided to exact a measure of revenge against the Empire. During Darth Vader's attempt to locate the Alliance following the Battle of Yavin, Dox arranged to have any potential locations destroyed before Vader could reach them. His actions were considered extreme to many members of the Alliance's command, but they came to an end when his duplicity was discovered by Vader. He begged to be killed, especially after his schemes resulted in the destruction of an Alderaanian outpost on the planet Ejolus, but Lord Vader was not in the mood to end his suffering. Dox was assigned to an Imperial labor camp, where he would be forced to live with the consequences of his actions for the rest of this life.

Doxin, Paldis
A corpulent scientist, Doxin was educated at the Magrody Institute during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He stayed at the Magrody Institute to perform research into the development of hypermatter and its uses, and secured a large grant from Republic Sienar Systems to continue his work. Years later, Doxin was hand-picked by Grand Moff Tarkin to work at the Maw Installation, where he was placed in charge of high-energy concepts and implementation. After the Maw Installation was discovered by Han Solo, some seven years after the Battle of Endor, the New Republic decided to launch a mission to take control of the facility. Admiral Daala, who had been left at the Maw Installation to handle its defense, set out on her own to bring the fight to the New Republic. This left the Maw Installation relatively unguarded, and forced Sivron to assume control of both its scientific and military forces. Sivron gathered Doxin and the other managers together and brought the Death Star prototype online, hoping to use it against the Republic's task froce. They managed to destroy a couple of Republic vessels before getting bogged down in procedures. Unable to determine what to do next, Sivron and his managers called a meeting, and decided that the correct procedure was to destroy the Maw Installation before it could fall into the hands of the New Republic. They began their attacks on the facility, but Kyp Durron used the Sun Crusher to disable the Death Star's maneuvering systems. Like Sivron and the rest of his staff, Doxin was killed when the prototype Death Star was dragged into the Maw's black holes and destroyed.

Dozen-and-Two Avengers
This was the name of Kyp Durron's vigilante group, led by himself and Miko Reglia during the months leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Kyp and Miko represented the "Two" in the name - the only two Jedi in the group - while the other members were simply rogue pilots. Their ships consisted of a collection of starfighters, with the two Jedi flying the new T-65XJ model X-Wing. They were nearly destroyed after discovering the Yuuzhan Vong presence near Helska. A swarm of coralskippers launched a massive wave of volcano missiles, which took out many of the non-Jedi Avengers in the opening seconds of their battle. Miko was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong, and Kyp fled to a remote sector and stranded. In the wake of their destruction, the Dozen-and-Two were reduced Kyp and a few others. Kyp recruited new members, but simply called the group Kyp's Dozen.

D'Pow, Vianna
This gray-skinned female Zeltron once tried to steal a Sullustan infant from the hospital ward of the Jedi Temple, some years before the Battle of Naboo. Distinguished by her raven-black hair and black-on-black eyes, Vianna D'Pow had been taunted as a child because of the lack of coloration in her skin. She was beaten many times by other Zeltron children, instilling in her a rage that later manifested itself in her criminal acts. In order to make herself more intimidating, D'pow had several pointed quills implanted in her shoulders. After leaving Zeltron, D'pow became an experienced infiltrator, and she had no problem gaining access to the Jedi Temple. Once inside, however, Mace Windu was alerted to her presence, and confronted her in the hospital. It was then that Vianna revealed that she was not working for any criminal organization, but had been hired by the Sullustan infant's parents to recover their child. Her mission touched a hidden place in Windu's heart, and he allowed Vianna to return the child to its parents.
D'pow fled into obscurity for several years, until she was hired by Count Dooku to acquire a sample of Jango Fett's genetic material from Kamino, in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis. She arrived to find that Obi-Wan Kenobi had arrived just before she did, in an attempt to prevent her from acquiring the sample. The Jedi was not fast enough to beat her to the storage facility, but he eventually tracked her down and confronted her. Their struggle continued outside of Tipoca City and onto the back of an aiwha before they were cast into the sea. As she reached the surface and called for her speeder, D'pow believed that she had the upper hand. However, as he came up, Obi-Wan revealed that he had taken the genetic sample from her during their struggle. D'pow then fled the scene, and it was only later that Obi-Wan discovered that she had placed an order for a single clone of herself while she was on the planet. He allowed the order to continue, hoping that she would finally have a friend in the galaxy.

Dpso
This was one of several Duros-commanded warships which made up the Galactic Alliance's meager naval fleet, during the last stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. Commanded by Yurf Col, the Dpso was one of many ships assigned to General Wedge Antilles and the task force dispatched to the Duro System. Unknown to Commander Col was that the task force was not sent to recapture Duro, but to eliminate as much of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet stationed there as possible. Col believed that Antilles was going to simply let Duro remain under Yuuzhan Vong control, and broke formation. Led by the Dpso, all the Duros warships tried to attack the Yuuzhan Vong on their own. However, they were no match for the amassed firepower of the alien invaders. The Dpso and the other Duros ships were destroyed in just under three hours.

DR919a
This was the name of the Ronto-class transport vessel owned and operated by Jae Juun and his partner, Tarfang, after the loss of the XR808g during the Qoribu Crisis. Jae Juun had originally been set up by Han Solo to acquire a Sailfish transport from Lando Calrissian, but the Sullustan had trouble just keeping up with the payments and maintenance on the Mon Calamarian vessel. So, he traded its equity back to Lando and purchased the DR919a in its place. However, the ship was too slow to handle the demands of the shipping operations Lando offered to the Sullustan, so Juun decided to go to work for Second Mistake Enterprises instead. When Juun realized that the spinglass sculptures they had sold to the naval personnel of the Fifth Fleet contained Gorog assassin bugs, he reluctantly agreed to help Han Solo and Luke Skywalker recover them before anything happened. Instead, they discovered the presence of fifteen nest ships within the Tusken's Eye, and were forced to try and delay the Gorog nest ship. During the search for the Gorog vessel, the DR919a was discovered and took heavy fire, and eventually was holed by a blast. The group was forced to abandon the doomed ship in order to reach the Gorog, much to Jae Juun's dismay. His only consolation was that Master Skywalker promised to replace the DR919a once they had completed the mission. In a last-ditch effort, Jae Juun crashlanded the ship onto the surface of the Gorog nest ship, demolishing the ship but keeping her crew and passengers alive long enough for them to exit.

This creature was native to the planet Relkass, and was known to be a nasty predator. They were generally omnivorous, feeding on razorgrass and small rodents, although they preferred to feed on the Relkass sentinel plant. This posed a problem for the inhabitants of Relkass, as the narcotic in the sentinel plant caused the draagax to go into a predatory frenzy, killing any warm-blooded creature on sight. The average draagax resembled a tall rodent, standing nearly two meters tall at the shoulder and having long ears and sharp teeth which could inject a debilitating poison. Their large eyes were adapted to seeing in the visible and infrared spectra.

Draay, Barrison
This roguish man was one of the many members of the wealthy Draay family who exhibited a strong connection to the Force. During the years leading up to the Great Sith War, Barrison trained to be a Jedi Knight under the tutelage of Master Hulis, yet he remained in charge of a large portion of his family's fortune. Before beginning his Jedi training, Barrison befriended a young man named Haazen, who was the son of two individuals who had loyally served the Draay family for years, and it was believed that some small portion of the Draay wealth was used to allow Haazen to gain a place among the Jedi trainees. The two men were a strange pair, because Haazen's own connection to the Force seemed tenuous, while Barrison showed incredible control. Barrison's own training might never have happened, because Jedi Master Arca Jeth believed that Barrison was too old and unable to handle the stresses of the training. However, upon conferring to Barrison the rank of Jedi Knight, Master Arca admitted that he was glad his own lack of vision had not prevented Master Hulis from taking him as a Padawan. In order to allay the fears of the galactic financial community, which feared something bad might happen if the Draay family Jedi ever took control of the galacy's markets, Barrison suggested that the Draay family wealth be completely severed from its Jedi members. Just priot to his completion of the Jedi Trials, Barrison created the Draay Trust as a compromise, keeping the family's fortune separated for use in funding charitable causes and protecting it from being misused.
Barrison was confirmed as a Jedi Knight along with Krynda Hulis, but Haazen was not promoted. He went into a rage, claiming that Master Arca and the Jedi were promoting the wealthiest students and leaving the poorer ones behind. He accused Barrison of holding out on his wealth, and not using it to help Haazen become a Knight. Haazen also accused Barrison of stealing away the affection of Krynda Hulis, prompting a brief scuffle. Control of the Draay Trust fell to Lady Krynda after Barrison was killed by a bomb blast that occurred while he was fighting against the Sith on the planet Toprawa. Unknown to everyone but Haazen, Barrison and his Jedi forces had been lured into the Ansharii Caverns by Haazen, ostensibly to finally capture the smuggler known as Dossa. Dossa, however, had been planning to capture Haazen for a Sith plan, and set off a series of explosions that killed the Jedi and left Haazen badly injured.

Draay, Krynda Hulis
This woman served the galaxy as a Jedi Knight for many years before the outbreak of the Great Sith War. The daughter of a human mother who had married Jedi Master Hulis, Krynda was the third of Master Hulis's daughters to become a Jedi Knight. She later became part of a wealthy family through her marriage to Barrison Draay, although Barrison strove to keep his family's wealth protected by establishing the Draay Trust. For most of her life, she dedicated herself to the Jedi arts, and she was trained by Jedi Master Vodo-Siosk Baas. Like many Jedi of the time, however, she also had a family, including a husband Barrison, who was also a Jedi. Their family grew up in the wondrous Draay Estate on Coruscant, lacking for nothing except Krynda's rare visits. Because she was a practicing Jedi Knight, Lady Krynda was often away from Coruscant on a mission. Her speciality was the ability to see into the future, a talent that placed her in high demand during the struggle against the Sith. Lady Krynda and Barrison were eventually blessed with the birth of a son, whom they named Lucien.
Despite the growing unrest in the galaxy, she regularly returned to Coruscant, in hopes of learning that her son, Lucien, would exhibit the same strong connection to the Force that she had as a child. Despite his pedigree, though, Lucien was slow to develop his abilities, and showed no signs of becoming a seer. When the Great Sith War broke out, Lady Krynda fought alongside other Jedi, but quickly tired of war and its consequences on the galaxy after her husband and her sister died in the fighting. Lady Krynda retired to her Coruscant estate in virtual seclusion. The Jedi High Council would not leave her in peace, claiming that her talents as a seer were required to help teach the next generation of Jedi oracles. Several attempts were made to bring talented students to the Draay Estate, and all were rebuffed until the Miraluka known as Q'Anilia arrived on her doorstep. Lady Krynda recognized the girl's potential, and agreed to train her, much to the chagrin of young Lucien, whose powers were slow to manifest.
Other students began to show promise, including Raana Tey, Xamar, and Feln, and Lady Krynda realized that these Padawans were the key to a vision she had experienced. They were recruited to join the Covenant, those Jedi who used their abilities to foresee the future to help protect the galaxy from unseen threats. Lady Krynda remained at the estate, tended by her faithful retainer, Haazen, who had survived the battle that took Barrison Draay's life. Part of their work together focused on locating and destroying Sith artifacts, in order to prevent a vision in which the Sith were restored to power in the galaxy. The Muur Talisman was believed to have been lost on the planet Taris, and the Covenant dispatched Lucien and the other students to establish a Jedi training facility there, to cover their search for the Talisman. Although she had severed most ties with the Jedi High Council, Lady Krynda remained one of the most powerful seers of her generation, and many Jedi chose to serve under her tutelage at the Draay Estate. Unfortunately, during one of her regular meditation periods, Lady Krynda received a vision of the events leading up to the Padawan Massacre on Taris. She began to experience severe headaches and, fearing a stroke, she allowed Haazen to place her body inside a transparent, coffin-like oubliette. Inside, she hoped to recover from her head trauma and continue to serve her followers.
As per Haazen's orders, her chambers were guarded by droids that were immune to the effects of the Force, but this did not stop Q'Anilia from destroying the droid and entering her chambers, after Haazen revealed that he had been manipulating the Draays and the Convenant all along. Q'Anilia hoped to ensure that Lady Krynda was safe, but found her otherwise lifeless body inside the oubliette. Believing it to be a simple coffin, and unable to sense Krynda in the Force, Q'anilia took her own life by ingesting poison. She died just as Marn Hierogryph located her, but the Snivvian recognized the oubliette after it was too late to save Q'Anilia. He opened the device and helped Lady Krynda emerge from her statis, then assisted her as she sought out Lucien. Once they located Lucien and Zayne Carrick, Lady Krynda explained that she knew of her son's role in the Padawan Massacre, and that she knew he had disobeyed her directive to bring the Padawans back to Coruscant. She had been too tormented by headaches to warn Lucien about his actions, and Haazen convinced her to place her body in the oubliette in order to heal. Inside the oubliette, Krynda had relived the deaths of the Padawans over and over, but she managed to survive simply because she believed that Lucien was a better person than that. Lucien argued that he had only ordered the killing of the Padawans, in order to fulfill what he believed had been his mother's wishes. After hearing these words, Lady Krynda finally died, knowing that she had been wrong to push Lucien to carry out the wishes of the Covenant.
(KOR2, KOR3, KOR5, KORH, KOR10)
Draay, Lucien
A native of Coruscant, this ancient Jedi Master was the leader of the satellite training facility on Taris, during the years following the Great Sith War. Distinguished by his close-cropped, light blond hair, Master Lucien oversaw the training of the small number of Padawan learners on Taris, and was instrumental in forging an alliance with the local constabulary. Lucien was the son of Barrison and Krynda Draay. As a youth, Lucien grew up in the luxurious estate of his mother, Lady Krynda Draay, who was a noted seer within the Jedi Order. She hoped that Lucien would exhibit the same strength in the Force that she had, but his powers were slow to manifest. As frustrating as this was for Lucien, it became even more troublesome when his mother came out of her self-imposed seclusion to train several other Jedi Padawans as seers, among them the Miraluka known as Q'Anilia.
Among the Jedi Consulars, Master Draay was known as an exceptionally gifted seer, and could see vivid images of the future through the Force. However, despite his pleasant and nurturing demeanor, Master Lucien was working for the Covenant, and was masterminding a plan that eventually led to the murder of all the Padawans who were under his tutelage. It was believed that these Padawans were somehow involved in an evil force that was growing in the galaxy. Only Zayne Carrick escaped, having arrived late to a ceremony that the Padawans believed was to elevate them to the ranks of Jedi Knights. Carrick escaped, forcing Master Lucien and the other instructors to blame the murders of the Padawans on Carrick in order to cover their tracks. Information recovered from the memory banks of the labor droid T1-LB revealed to Zayne that Master Draay and the other Masters had experienced intense visions through the Force, in which the Padawans were destined to become Sith Lords who swept across the galaxy and exterminated the Jedi Order. Thus, the Master were forced to take it upon themselves to kill their Padawans, in an effort to save the galaxy. The holographic recording also revealed that Master Draay had tried to destroy T1-LB, in an effort to preserve their secrecy.
After Zayne was captured by Valius Ying and returned to Taris, Master Draay revealed that Zayne should have been among the Padawans who were killed, but Shad Jelavan had forced the Masters to strike before Zayne arrived when he questioned their motives. When Jarael burst into the Jedi facilities and rescued Zayne, Master Draay was forced to let him go free, but warned Zayne that he had better forget his Jedi heritage and ensure that he didn't become the Sith Lord that had been foreseen by the Masters. Weeks later, as the Mandalorian Wars heated up to their eventual climax, Master Draay and his companions were recalled to Coruscant and ordered to appear before the Jedi High Council. At the meeting, Lucien admitted that he had been responsible for the deaths of the Padawans on Taris, but only by claiming that he had failed to bring Zayne Carrick under control before he was "touched by the Dark Side." In an effort to complete his own mission, Lucien requested that he be exempt from the war effort to track Zayne down. The Jedi High Council denied his request, and split up Lucien from the other members of his band.
Lucien himself was sent to Telerath, and was ordered to meet Admiral Saul Karath to help plan the Republic's defenses for the banking planet. Karath was detained when the Mandalorians attacked the Courageous at Serroco, and Lucien was contacted by Haazen and ordered to investigate the growing evil that was surrounding Lord Arkoh Adasca. This led him to the Arkanian Legacy, where Lucien learned that Adascorp had been secretly breeding exogorths for use as planetary destroyers. His presence unnerved Lord Adasca, who had not invited Lucien to the meeting. Believing himself to have the upper hand, Lucien graciously accepted a toast from Lord Adasca. The wine was laced with a powerful sedative that knocked Lucien unconscious almost immediately. Draay awoke to find that he been taken prisoner, and being held captive with Zayne Carrick during the negotiations Lord Adasca held for control of his exogorths. Lucien feared that the exogorths would soon break free of Adasca's control, as predicted in a vision that was seen by the Covenant. The two men were forced to work together to escape from their droid guards, but then Lucien used lightsaber to try and kill Zayne. Only the phrikite vambraces he wore protected Zayne, forcing Lucien realize that it was not time for him to die.
When Carth Onasi agreed to help them prevent the sale of the exogorths, Lucien initially suggested that they find a way to kill Jarael, since her death were remove Adasca's leverage against The Camper. Both men refused, and Draay was forced to follow Zayne's lead in creating a diversion. Once Jarael was freed, Zayne send a transmission to The Camper, who launched his own plan to eliminate the exogorths. With the Arkanian Legacy falling into chaos around him, Lucien Draay tried one more time to eliminate Zayne, but the youth managed to escape with the Moomo Brothers aboard the Moomo Williwaw. Lucien overheard their conversation, and after discovering that they were returning to Taris, sent Raana Tey to confront Zayne there once and for all. Unfortunately, Raana Tey died on Taris, and Zayne was left to go free.
In the days that followed, only Lucien failed to have a shared vision in which a near-human male controlled armies of rakghouls with the Muur Talisman. He still heeded the warnings from the others and made sure that Celeste Morne was dispatched to Taris to locate the artifact. It was also during this time that Lucien was appointed to a position on the Jedi High Council, as much to learn more about his vision for the future as to keep an eye on his actions. He openly stated that the position on the Council should have gone to his father, Barrison, and that he vowed to live up to his father's example. His first speech centered on eliminating the presence of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi in the ongoing Mandalorian Wars, citing sources that claimed the Mandalorians were splintering into various factions and would tear themselves apart. Based on his words, arrests were issued for any Jedi Knights whp continued to support the war effort.
The death of Feln on Odryn threw Lucien's plans into disarray, since Zayne Carrick had been present on Odryn at the time of Feln's death and the loss of the Sanctum of the Exalted. Q'anilia and Xamar feared for their lives, having experienced corresponding visions of the future, but Lucien refused to be swayed by their emotions. He urged them to continue with their plans, citing their other long-range visions as the true goal, regardless of the steps that needed to be taken to get there. To this end, he ordered Xamar to report to Admiral Saul Karath aboard the Swiftsure, in order to prevent Zayne Carrick from reaching Coruscant with any evidence of The Covenant's activities. However, Master Xamar had already seen that Lucien was following his own visions of the future, and had decided to turn himself in to the Jedi High Council. Xamar allowed Zayne to enter the Draay Estate, where the Padawan demanded to see Krynda Draay. When Haazen stepped in and refused to let Zayne in, Xamar slipped away to let a group of Jedi Knights enter the estate, on a mission to arrest Lucien and investigate the activities of the Jedi who supported him. This forced Haazen to put his worst-case scenario contingency plans in place, cutting off all Jedi access to the resource of the Draays and calling for all Jedi within the estate to guard it with their lives. When Lucien questioned how Haazen had managed to obtain access to so many resources, Haazen explained that much of it had been arranged after Lucien was named to the Jedi High Council. Lucien realized that, even though he had tried to use the Covenant to ensure his own vision of the future, he had been manipulated by Haazen, who had used the resources of the Draay Trust to his own advantage.
Realizing that Haazen was under the control of the Gauntlet of Kressh the Younger, Lucien drew his lightsaber and tried to take down his former mentor. However, the Gauntlet protected Haazen, sending out a blast of red energy that knocked Lucein through the air and into a wall, rendering him unconscious. When Zayne Carrick tried to help him up, Lucien angrily pushed him away, accusing Zayne of not striking Haazen down earlier. The two men then drew their lightsabers and began to duel, both hoping to reach Lady Krynda and hopefully make some sense of recent events. Haazen let them battle each other, knowing that his Sith would be arriving shortly. However, during the duel, Marn Hierogryph appeared with Krynda at his side, having rescued her from an oubliette. With her dying breath, Krynda explained that she had seen Lucien's part in the Padawan Massacre, and demanded to know why he had not brought the students to Coruscant, as she had ordered. Lucien explained that he had ordered their deaths in order to prevent the prophecies Krynda had foreseen, and that the killings should have been what she wanted. With these words, Lady Krynda died in Lucien's arms.
Distraught and angry, Lucien then turned on Zayne and Marn, drawing his lightsaber once again and attacking them with a vengeance. His struggle with them brought the three beings into the courtyard of the Draay Estate, where a statue of Barrison Draay stood. However, the statue had been damaged when Haazen launched his orbital assault, and the massive figure tumbled from its base and fell on top of Lucien. Zayne then raised his lightsaber and appeared to have made the killing blow, before turning to Haazen and vowing his allegiance to him. This allowed Zayne to make contact with Haazen and grab hold of the Kressh Gauntlet, before using his lightsaber to slice the arm from Haazen's body. Lucien, who had not been killed, picked up the gauntlet and confronted Haazen, before using the gauntlet to redirect the fire of the orbiting starships that were under Haazen's command. Although the Draay Estate was all but destroyed, Haazen was killed when Republic ships fired on their location. Zayne and Marn were thrown outward by the blast, and Lucien himself was saved only because he was holding the Kressh Gauntlet. He then had a vision of amassing an army as a Dark Lord of the Sith, but he fled this vision to a remote world where he was able to establish a true Jedi training center. Lucien was listed as having been killed in the blast that destroyed the Draay Estate, and the Draay family became a symbol of the heroism and spirit that embodied the Galactic Republic.

Draay Trust
This immensely wealthy group was formed by the Draay family, more than 4,000 years before the Galactic Ciivl War. The Draay family had influence in many large corporations and financial consortiums, generally working for the betterment of galactic society. When the Draay family started producing strong Jedi Knights, the galactic stock markets trembled with the fear that a Jedi might use their powers to take over large financial corporations. It was Barrison Draay who proposed the creation of the Draay Trust, to separate the family's wealth from its Jedi, and allay the fears of the financial community.
During the final years of the Mandalorian Wars, the Draay Trust was overseen by Lady Krynda Draay. She used her influence to provide a major investment in the planetary bank on Telerath, after it was learned that one of the bank's employees was the father of Zayne Carrick. They hoped that by promoting Arvan Carrick to a position on Telerath, they could flush Zayne out of hiding, in the wake of the so-called "Padawan Massacre." This failed, and Zayne was able to escape to discover the location of the Sanctum of the Exalted. This forced Lady Krynda's long-time assistant, Haazen, to begin taking steps to preserve the Draay Trust.

Draco, Antares
This Force-sensitive man was the leader of the Imperial Knights, some 130 years after the Battle of Yavin. Despite this position and his loyalty to the Empire as a whole, Draco's primary allegiance was to Emperor Roan Fel, an allegiance he maintained even after Fel was deposed by the Sith Lord known as Darth Krayt. Draco fled Bastion with Fel, and served as his bodyguard and protector for some seven years, until Fel decided to return to Bastion and retake control of the planet.
When Darth Krayt targetted Fel's own daughter, Marasiah, in an effort to flush the Emperor out of hiding, Draco found himself torn between his loyalty to the Emperor and his unspoken love for Marasiah. While his head understood the Emperor's orders to leave Marasiah to survive on her own, Draco's heart told him to do something about the situation. Thus, he set off to find the Princess on his own, despite the Emperor's standing orders. After tracking her to Vendaxa with the help of Ganner Krieg, they found themselves in a fight to the death with Darth Talon and Darth Nihl.
The Imperials managed to escape from the Sith and return to Bastion, where Draco and Krieg were surprised to receive a vehement reprimand from Emperor Fel. The Emperor explained that their selfish mission had given Darth Krayt information on their location, alerting the Sith Lord to the Imperial presence on Bastion. Thus, they were even more surprised when the Emperor decided to publicly reward them for their bravery in rescuing Marasiah, although they were told that the medals they were to receive were for public appearances only, since word of such high-level officers purposely disobeying the Emperor would surely undermine Fel's authority. As the Emperor dismissed them, he secretly told Draco to forget about marrying Marasiah.
The pair were then assigned to escort Mingo Bovark to The Wheel, where the Imperial ambassador was to meet with Galactic Alliance Admiral Gar Stazi. The meeting was sabotaged by Jor Torlin and Morrigan Corde, and the negotiations were called off when Pol Temm banished the Imperials, after Draco and Krieg revealed that they had smuggled their lightsabers aboard the station. They returned to Bastion without an alliance, and were forced to face the wrath of Emperor Fel. Shortly afterward, Draco felt a sudden disturbance in the Force, and rushed to the Pellaeon Gardens, where he learned that Emperor Fel had survived an attack by Darth Kruhl. For the next few days, Draco did his best to avoid the Emperor and Marasiah as well, in an effort to sort out his own thoughts and feelings. Although he had hoped to put Marasiah in the past, she wanted no part of a life without him, and chose to deal with her father's ire at a later time.
Draco, along with Marasiah Fel and Ganner Krieg, was later dispatched to track the movements of Azlyn Rae, who was posing as a bounty hunter in an effort to locate Cade Skywalker. Azlyn Rae was able to relay the location of the Jedi Order's Hidden Temple, and the three Imperial Knights were then ordered to meet with the surviving Jedi and discuss an alliance. They found themselves forging an alliance with Cade Skywalker, who advocated a direct attack on the life of Darth Krayt.

Draco, Valin
This Imperial Inquisitor was oversaw the occupation of Cato Neimoidia, during the early years of the New Order. He was later dispatched to Almas, where he was ordered to search the rubble of the Almas Academy for any information that might have survived its destruction. Inquisitor Draco found that the site of the Academy had become a Dark Side nexus, and his own connection to the Force led him to find the ruins of the Academy's archives. There, Draco found a Jedi Holocron among the lore, and would have returned it to Coruscant if he hadn't been intercepted by a group of freelance agents who were working for Senator Bail Organa and the exiled Jedi Master Denia. In a brief firefight, Draco was defeated and left for dead, while the Holocron was recovered by the agents.
Draco himself survived the battle and was taken to a medical facility, where he was fitted with cybernetic implants to replace his damaged limbs. He then set up a trap for the agents on Coruscant, luring them to the capital world by allowing them to infiltrate the headquarters of the Sarlacc Project. Although the agents escaped, Draco was able to capture Master Denia and brought her to the Citadel Inquisitorius on Prakith. There, he tortured her while gathering more and more strength in the Dark Side of the Force. A rescue mission sent to recover Master Denia met with stern resistance from Draco's military forces, but was able to infiltrate the Citadel.
The freelance agents were no match for Draco's growing power, but he was unprepared for Master Denia's actions. She sacrificed herself to bring Draco down, forcing him to flee the Citadel rather than be defeated again. Draco fled to Byss, in the Deep Core, where the prototype vessel of the Sarlacc Project was under construction. He was pursued to Byss by Senator Organa's agents, who were supported by a large fleet of smugglers who were working for Lady Alya Aldrete. This combined force eventually destroyed the Sarlacc Project prototype, and Draco was killed when the ship exploded.

Dragon-slug
An unusual creature found only on Hoth, the dragon-slug was a fire-breathing worm which consumed lumni-spice as food. It created huge tunnels in the rock and ice as it searched for the spice. It was for this reason that lumni-spice was rare and difficult to harvest. The average dragon-slug could attain a length exceeding fifty meters, and lived a solitary existence beneath Hoth's ice. The body of a dragon-slug was covered with an armor-like hide, and it moved about on vestigial legs that could be found every three meters or so along their bellies.
(CSW, WOA34)
Dragonsnake
A carnivorous predator native to the swamps of Dagobah, the dragonsnake was a long, armored creature with sharp fangs and razor fins. These creatures moved about by using their wide tails, but also had a pair of long arms for grasping and digging. The dragonsnake usually waits in the swamps, floating like a log until some other creature wanders too close to the water's edge. It then lashes out with its fangs and fins, capturing its prey and dragging it into the water. Once it controls its prey, the dragonsnake holds it under the water, coiled in its long body, until the prey drowns. The dragonsnake had been known to attack and kill the massive swamp slugs that share the swamps with it. Note that the Star Wars Customizable Card Game: Dagobah claims that the dragonsnake is often mistaken for the swamp slug.

Standing on six clawed legs, the drakka were distinguished by the spikes that protected their heads and tails. A ridge of spikes ran from the back of its head to its snout, and were used primarily for attack. Another collection of spines bristled over the tip of the drakka's tail, allowing it to club an attacker during a battle. Much of their bodies were covered with rust-brown scales, and saliva dripped continually from their toothy maws, flowing between two rows of sharp teeth. Those drakka boars which were used to guard treasures were mind-linked to their Randoni masters, allowing them to be controlled when access to the treasure was required.

The Sif'krie government cast the decicing vote on the Initiative, blocking the Frezhlix Senator from adding his voice to the opposition. This led to a series of Frezhlix attacks on Sif'krie pommwomm shipments.
(SOP)
Drask
This was the core name used by Chiss General Prard'ras'kleoni. Drask was a hard individual who disliked anything that upset the natural order of Chiss life. Thus, when he was requested to accompany Aristocra Formbi on a mission to meet with Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade Skywalker regarding the remains of the Outbound Flight Project, Drask struggled to keep his consternation in check. When Aristocra Formbi agreed to provide the Geroon Remnant with star charts and astronomical data, Drask's mood darkened still further. Mara later discovered that Drask's foul mood also stemmed from the presence of Chak Fel and his stormtroopers aboard the Chaf Envoy. Drask continued to be a thorn in the humans' sides, reinforcing his Chiss superiority at every opportunity. After the discovery of the Outbound Flight on a planetoid in the Redoubt, Drask found himself working with Chak Fel and the Aurek-Seven unit of the Imperial 501st Legion, searching the D-Five and D-Six Dreadnaughts in an effort to return to the Chaf Envoy. It was during this time that the Jedi discovered that Bearsh was not actually a Geroon, but was a Vagaari. As the Vagaari launched their attack on the Outbound Flight, Drask found himself fighting for his life alongside the Imperials. He was stunned when, after a vicious attack by the Vagaari and their wolvkils, Chak Fel relinquished command of Aurek-Seven to Drask himself. Fel realized that his naval expertise wouldn't help much in the battle against the Vagaari. Drask agreed to take command, but demanded that Fel use his naval experience to help them navigate the Dreadnaughts and return to their ships. Later, after the plans of Estosh and Vagaari were revealed, Drask discovered that he was unaware of the Chiss' part in the mission, although he deduced parts of it as time went on. Drask did reveal that he had been behind the falling cable that nearly struck Luke, which he had arranged as a way to see first-hand the skills of a Jedi Knight.

Drathul
This Yuuzhan Vong Prefect was in command of the worldship Harla during the early stages of the aliens' invasion of the galaxy. His broad-faced visage was heavily scarred, but Drathul considered himself a handsome Yuuzhan Vong individual. Despite Nom Anor's failure at Helska and the loss of the priestess Elan, Drathul grudgingly decided to keep Anor at the forefront of the invasion. Drathul was eventually promoted to High Prefect, overcoming his support for the outcast Nom Anor and becoming one of Supreme Overlord Shimrra's closest advisors. He soon found himself under closer scrutiny, however, as the Jedi Heresy spread across Coruscant and many of his subordinates were found to be involved with the movement. Much of the evidence of their own involvement was actually planted by Nom Anor himself, who had adopted the name Yu'shaa, as the Prophet of The Message. Drathul remained loyal to Shimrra, however, and bore the Supreme Overlord's criticism and scrutiny with solemn dignity. However, as the Galactic Alliance continued to win battles and as evidence mounted as to Shimrra's past treachery, Drathul began to doubt his Supreme Overlord. He even voiced his desire to join the Quorealists to Nom Anor, who was beholden to Drathul as the prefect of Yuuzhan'tar. When the combined forces of the Galactic Alliance made a final push to recapture the planet Coruscant, Drathul remained at Shimrra's side, until the ground forces of the Alliance reached the Citadel and began moving on the Well of the World Brain. Along with High Priest Jakan and Qelah Kwaad, Drathul descended from the Citadel and traveled to the Well to anoint the Jedi who were captured there. Among those captured were Harrar, Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, and Drathul demanded that they be captured and held as sacrifices. His plans were cut short when Nom Anor, leading Mara Jade Skywalker and a band of Shamed Ones, flooded the chamber and confronted the warriors arrayed before them. Drathul demanded that the captives be executed, but his commander instead turned his forces against Drathul's guards. In a flash, Nom Anor was free, clutching at Drathul's neck and strangling him to death.

He made a meager living in the Outer Rim Territories during the Galactic Civil War and the early years of the New Republic, working as an independent space and smuggler until he found himself employed by Billey. Dravis was also an old acquaintance of Han Solo's, and it was Han who approached him with a job offer to work as a pilot for one of the cargo transport operations that supported the New Republic. It was Dravis who told Solo about Thrawn's appearance in the borderland regiosn of the galaxy, and that he thought it was Talon Karrde who had taken over Jabba the Hutt's empire. Later, Dravis agreed to help Karrde track down the source of Grand Admiral Thrawn's clones, when it became apparent that Thrawn had begun growing clones to serve as crewmen aboard his starships.

The art monitors in each sector were ordered to assign an Imperial rating to any work of art that was produced, from paintings and sculptures to music and literature. Anything that was deemed subvertive or counter to the New Order was marked with a holo-panel that displayed a scarlet warning, thus creating the phrase "drawing a scarlet."

He joined the Alliance as an undercover agent, using his contacts on Bescane to move contract workers off the corporate world. It was Dray who helped the Alliance locate agent Tigress, because he had become aware of the kidnappings of workers by Imperial Forces. During a swoop chase with Imperial forces, Dray was lost. Tigress, also known as the Lady Amber Comark, believed that he was kidnapped and cyborged as part of the Death-Hunter project. When the Alliance agents infiltrated Jesco Comark's base on Zeta Zero Nine, they found Dray in the midst of an intense torture session. He was rescued by the Alliance agents.

Dray, Halle
This Alderaanian woman was one of the many refugees who were trapped on the planet Delaya, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin and the destruction of her homeworld. A former veterinary technician at a wildlife compound, Halle joined J'er Nahj and his band of rebels, hoping to gain a measure of respect with the Delayan government. However, unlike Nahj, Halle hated Princess Leia Organa and her father, Bail Organa, because she believed that the Organas' part in the Alliance to Restore the Republic brought down Imperial retribution on all of Alderaan. When Nahj put plans in motion to contact Princess Leia, Halle agreed to the plan, if only to force the Princess to see what had happened to the people she supposedly represented on the Imperial Senate. However, Halle refused to allow Leia to act for all the Alderaanians on Delaya, and had one of the other refugees track Leia's movements. When Leia was seen in the company of Kiro Chen, Halle went on the offensive, refusing to believe Leia's claim that she was on Delaya to help the refugees. Chen was known for his work as a recruiter for the Alliance, and Halle openly questioned whether Leia was working for the good of her fellow Alderaanians, or if she was simply looking for more martyrs for the rebel cause. She accused the Organa family of being blood-thirsty warmongers who forced Alderaan to join, then slapped Kiro Chen across the face for his part in recruiting Alderaanians into the Alliance. Halle then revealed to Nahj that she had secretly made contact with Imperial agents, and had agreed to turn Leia over to the Empire in exchange for a new world on which the Alderaanians could make a new home. When Leia's capture was carried out, she learned that Kiro Chen had actually been working with Halle Dray, insinuating himself into the Alliance cell on Delaya in case Leia ever arrived on the planet. Han Solo later learned from Mazi that Halle and Kiro were romantically involved with each other, and showed them the location of the abandoned schoolhouse in which they held their secret meetings. Unfortunately for the refugees, the Imperial forces on Delaya had been given orders to capture the Princess and eliminate any resistance. Driscoll and Trey Bruhnej were killed while trying to defend the hiding place, and both Nahj and Halle were shot and killed when the Imperial burst into the abandoned schoolhouse and demanded that the Princess be turned over to them.

In the wake of the Battle of Coruscant, Bhindi was part of the team assigned to accompany Luke Skywalker back to the capital planet. While the primary goal of the mission was to gather intelligence and try to locate Jacen Solo, Bhindi and her team were going to set up resistance cells on the battered planet. She was personally going to remain on the planet after the main mission was complete, to coordinate the cells and foster plans to oust the alien invaders. When Coruscant fell to the Yuuzhan Vong, Bhindi and her team managed to escape and return to Calamari. There, she served as one of the primary Intelligence operatives for the fledgling Galactic Alliance.

This New Republic Admiral was in charge of the Republic's mission to find the Katana fleet. He used to be in charge of the planetary defenses on his home planet, Chandrila, where he met Mon Mothma. During the Clone Wars, Drayson was removed from his position by the passage of Emergency Amendment 121b, also known as the Reflex Amendment, and replaced by Kohl Seerdon. Years later, Mon Mothma asked him to assist with defenses when the Alliance was formed, and then asked him to stay on with the New Republic as Admiral of Coruscant's capital ship fleet. Following the death of Thrawn, Drayson was placed in charge of Alpha Blue, and was one of the New Republic's highest-ranking military officials during the Great Purge. He was known in military circles as the Old Ghost of Coruscant. As the New Republic's government firmed up in the wake of the negotiation of peace with the Imperial remnants, Drayson decided it was time to retire. He married his long-time love, Joi Eicroth, but the marriage didn't last and they soon separated.

Draz
This extremely vicious species of canine was native to the planet Korbin. They were a product of a long-forgotten breeding experiment aimed at producing an attack animal. The experiment was a success, but so much so that no one could control the draz. They escaped from their creators and now roam the wilds of Korbin. The draz were covered with steel-gray fur that stands on end when they attack, making them look larger than normal. They were unpredictable hunters.

Dread Weapon
This unusual creature was bred by the Yuuzhan Vong to survive in the vacuum of space. It was essentially a long organic chamber, with an esophageal organ running the entire length of its body. This organ could be pumped full of air, allowing a horde of Yuuzhan Vong warriors to exist inside, until the Dread Weapon latched onto a ship or space station with its wide mouth. After chewing its way through the hull of its target, the Dread Weapon then opened its throat to discharge warriors into the vessel. A secondary mission profile for this beast involved the extraction of beings from a ship or station. In this mode, the Dread Weapon's esophagus was pumped out before it attached itself to a target. When the creature had created a breach in the hull, it simply breathed in, pulling all the atmosphere of the target vessel - and anything not securely strapped down - into its gullet with the force of a sudden decompression. Any beings who survived this attack could live inside the Dread Weapon until they were taken into custody by their Yuuzhan Vong captors.

Dreadnaught
This ancient starship design was produced by Core Galaxy Systems as a military cruiser. The CGS Deardnaught measured 900 meters in length, and was crewed by 45 officers and 20 gunners.

Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruiser
Dreadnaughts were manufactured by Rendili StarDrive during the decades prior to the Clone Wars. These warships required more than 16,000 crewers to operate, making them resource-intensive for even the Old Republic's military. The Dreadnaught measured 600 meters in length, with a roughly cylindrical shape. The basic idea behind the Dreadnaught was taken from an old Mandalorian design, and was updated to create a ship that could be deployed to maintain a planetary occupation. Six weapons blisters were arranged around its midsection, and it had a clamshell-shaped bow. They were rated to speeds of .4 past lightspeed, with a top speed of 14 MGLT. The basic Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser was armed with ten turbolaser batteries, twenty quad laser cannons, ten laser cannons, one warhead launcher, 160 SBD shields, and a 80 RU hull. Around the time of the Battle of Naboo, a group of 200 specially-designed Dreadnaughts was produced for the Katana Fleet, an experiment in using automation and and droids to reduce the crew compliment of the Dreadnaught. Some five years before the onset of the Clone Wars, six Dreadnaught were connected to a central storage core to form the basis of the Outbound Flight, a massive undertaking that was initiated by the Old Republic and the Jedi Order to seek out new life forms in the outermost areas of the galaxy, before attempting to leave the known galaxy and reach another galaxy. During the Clone Wars, the majority of Dreadnaughts found in the galaxy were in the service of Rendili's homeworld security fleet, protecting the planet from invasion. When the government of Rendili tried to side with the Separatists, the Old Republic dispatched a group of warships under the command of Jedi Masters Plo Koon and Saesee Tiin. Their mission, which ultimately ended successfully, was to ensure that the Dreadnaughts did not become part of the Separatist fleet. Note that The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels says the Dreadnaught had a slow, Class Two hyperdrive rating and weak shields, facts supported by the West End Games sourcebooks but not by Dark Force Rising.

Drebble
This was an alias used many times by Lando Calrissian, during the search for Boba Fett and Han Solo. It was believed that the Drebble alias was based on one of Lando's old enemies, Barpotomous Drebble. Drebble was a smuggler Captain was on Arcan IV during the theft of the religious icons the Dancing Goddess and the Minstrel. He captained the Cobra with an unnamed Wookiee, who was actually Chewbacca. Calrissian reasoned that he would have more success locating Han if the pair traveled in disguise, rather than announcing themselves as members of the Alliance. Lando dredged up the Drebble alias because it was the name of an old enemy. After trying to enlist the services of Lemo and Sanda, Lando got drunk and let it slip that he wasn't really Drebble.

Drebble, Barpotomous
This obese man was beaten by Lando Calrissian in a high-stakes sabacc match on Cloud CIty, shortly before Lando won the outpost from Baron Raynor. In fact, the match was witnessed by the Baron's wife, Ymile, who recommended that Calrissian play against Raynor. It was later revealed that Drebble had paid one of Cloud City's sabacc dealers to place a skifter into the deck used when Baron Raynor challenged Lando Calrissian to a sabacc match. Drebble claimed that he had used the skifter to ensure Lando was finally beaten, but the scheme never panned out. In the wake of this defeat, Drebble proclaimed to anyone who would listen that Lando had cheated him out of a fortune. Years later, Drebble encounted Lando again, this time on Stenos, where he offered a ten thousand dollar credit to the being who captured Lando first. The reward failed to inspire anyone to new heights of bravery, and Drebble earned a punch in the mouth from a bounty hunter for whining about being cheated by Lando. Eventually, Drebble came to realize that he was never going to capture Lando, since the conman always seemed to slip through his grasp. Unknown to Drebble, Lando used his name during many risky missions, posing as Drebble to infiltrate Imperial locations. The Alliance even proclaimed Drebble a hero, after his name was associated with several key victories over Imperial forces. Drebble was nearly killed by Lemo and Sanda, but Lando ensured that Drebble survived their attacks. It was for this reason that Lando gave Drebble the statue known as the Dancing Goddess, as a reward for his "heroism". Because of this notoriety, Drebble became the ruler of Stenos' capital city, during the months following the Battle of Endor. When Lando returned to Stenos to try and recover the statue in order to return it to the Godoans, Drebble decided that he couldn't keep it, knowing that the Godoans were dying, and turned the statue over to Lando.

With the death of Wallanooga, Dreddon managed to acquire much of the other Hutt's gunrunning business. Later, Dreddon put out a bounty on the head of Black Sun vigo Antonin, who also put a bounty on Dreddon's head. While Jango Fett successfully eliminated Antonin, Zam Wesell killed Dreddon.

At the end of the mission, Major Dreflin accused several stormtroopers, including Daric LaRone and Saberan Marcross of deliberately missing their shots, when ordered to execute a group of suspected Alliance sympathizers. When the stormtroopers objected, Major Dreflin threatened to execute them on the spot as traitors to the Empire. LaRone acted on impulse, grabbing Dreflin by the arm and deftly taking away his blaster. Then, in what the other stormtroopers regarded as an act of self-defense, LaRone shot and killed Dreflin.

Years later, Corporal Dregz was assigned to guard a mining operation in the Cularin Asteroid Belt. He and his fellow Caarites were all killed when a group of Thaereian Military forces discovered the operation. A group of freelance agents who were working for Nirama and trying to locate other missing agents, traced the Thaereian Navy vessel Stark Wing to the asteroid. There, they replayed the security camera recordings and learned that Dregz and his men had barricaded themselves in their living quarters, in an effort to defend themselves against the Thaereians. Their efforts were not enough, however, to prevent the Thaereians from shooting and killing them all. Thus, the freelance agents were surprised and frightened when a shadow lurker took possession of Dregz's body and began to move it, in an effort to communicate with them. The language of the shadow lurker was incomprehensible, so it directed Dregz's body into a position to touch one of the agents, transferring its shadowy form from Dregz into their body.

His reckless method of handling a speeder bike derived from his background as a swoop jockey, and he was still tempering his skills when he was promoted to the rank of Corporal and assigned to the garrison on the forest moon of Endor, during the construction of the second Death Star.

Drendek
This was the species of huge, winged reptiles that lived on a jungle-covered planetoid in the Maw cluster of black holes. The Sith crew of the Eternal Crusader discovered the planetoid while searching for the Sith meditation sphere known as Ship, and found that the drendek lizards were quite docile, despite their fearsome appearances. Drendeks were often found lying on the planetoid's beaches, sunning themselves to warm up their body temperatures.

Dren-garen, Taym
A native of Tatooine during the height of the New Order, Taym supplied the Tusken Raiders with weapons, and helped instigate several attacks on human settlements. This helped draw the attention of local authorities away from his employer, Jabba the Hutt. Unfortunately, Taym perished when Jabba's sail barge exploded near the Pit of Carkoon, when Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa rescued Han Solo, shortly before the Battle of Endor.
(CCG7, SWI98)
Drenn
This man, who claimed to be a native of the Pembric System, served the Empire as a spy and saboteur. During the early years of the New Republic, Drenn assumed the identity of the Wraith, and served Moff Kentor Sarne as an assassin. Drenn also worked under the alias of Klendost Petrivoor while on the planet Sebiris, researching new toxins but unaware that he was being trailed by Breslin Drake. He was inserted into the Bombaasa Cartel and took on a job at the ThrusterBurn tapcafe, unaware that Drake - the manager of the ThrusterBurn - was actively searching for him. Drenn joined the crew of the FarStar in an effort to relocate Sarne, but his identity was revealed when the FarStar landed on Sebiris in search of clues to Drenn's identity. Drake was later captured and imprisoned.

Drenna
This young Senali girl was the daughter of Garth and Ganeed. She became good friends with he adopted brother, Prince Leed of Rutan, and she supported his plans to remain on Senali. When King Frane tried to have Leed returned to Rutan, Drenna tried to hide Leed from the Jedi Knights, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, who had traveled to Senali with Taroon to speak with Leed. Eventually, Leed agreed to meet with them, and Drenna found herself liking Taroon. Any friendship they might have had was nearly destroyed when it was learned that Taroon had tried to have Leed kidnapped in order to secure his own position on the throne, even after Leed had offered him the chance. In the end, however, the cooler heads of the Jedi allowed King Frane to see Taroon's potential as a leader, and Leed was allowed to return to Senali. Drenna then offered to remain on Rutan, so that Yaana could return to Senali and be with her family. King Frane agreed. Drenna's strength and courage were not lost on King Frane, who hinted to Taroon that she would make an excellent Queen. When King Frane decided to allow Taroon to succeed him as King, the relationship between Taroon and Drenna was allowed to evolve.

This small outpost was considered to be the capital of the planet Korriban, during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. It was located atop a large plateau, a considerable distance fro, the Valley of the Dark Lords. A small spaceport serviced the minimal traffic to the planet, most of which was transportation for Czerka Corporation. During the era of the Great Sith War, Dreshdae was also the site of a Sith monastery, where beings who had become devoted to the Dark Side of the Force gathered in the hope of joining the Sith. Over the following millennia, the monastery was virtually forgotten, and Dreshdae continued to provide a meager existence for its inhabitants.

Dressel
This world was the primary planet in the Dressel System, located in the Mid Rim, and was the homeworld of the Dressellian race. It was a world perfectly suited for humanoid life, being a temperate world of vast plains. It was discovered by the Bothan Askar clan, who recognized the emerging Dressellian race and left them alone. The Askars settled in the Dressellian Asteroid Belt instead.
(GG12, NEGA)
Dresselese
This was the native language of the Dressellian people. For many millennia, it evolved in isolation on Dressel, until a Bothan exploration ship found the planet. Since that time, many Bothan terms have found their way into the Dresselese lexicon, and the symbol-based written form of Dresselese was dropped altogether, in favor of the Bothan alphabet.

Dresselian Asteroid Belt
This swath of rocky debris lies just inside the orbit of the planet Dressel, and was discovered by the Bothan clan, Askar. They settled in the asteroid belt itself, allowing the Dressellians to continue their evolution unobstructed. However, the Empire wanted the mineral wealth of the asteroids, and dishomed the Bothans. The Imperials also set up mining headquarters on Dressel, subjugating the Dressellian people in the process.

Dressellian
An alien race native to the planet Dressel, the Dressellians were tall, thin humanoids with heavily-wrinkled skin. They were often referred to as Prune Faces, a description of their long, wrinkled skulls. Their unusual skull structure served to contain a large brain, making the average Dressellian more quick-witted and intelligent than other humanoids.
The Dressellians were a tenacious race that was first discovered by offworlders some 200 years before the Galactic Civil War, when a group of Bothans came across Dressel. The Bothans recognized the potential of the Dressellians, and left them to evolve on their own.
However, years later, the Empire took control of the Bothan mining interests in the system and subjugated the Dressellian race. Throughout their enslavement, the Dressellians remained dedicated to their own independence, and followed the Bothans when the fur-covered aliens threw in their support to the Alliance. The Dressellians also adopted the Bothan alphabet, using it to write out their own native language.
As a people, the Dressellians managed to develop steam-level technology on their own, but willingly accepted the blasters and repulsorlift technology offered by the Bothans.
In the wake of the Battle of Endor, the Dressellians agreed to join the New Republic and the Galactic Alliance, although they tended to shun the political necessity of the New Republic Senate.
Note that this alien race is also referred to as the Dresselian race.

Dressian Kiolsh Merchant Bank
This financial institution was based on the planet Mygeeto, near the city of Jygat, during the final decades of the Old Republic. It was part of the InterGalactic Banking Clan's vast network of banks and asset centers, and was built on Mygeeto to the specifications of the Muuns. The remote planet's frozen surface provided the perfect cover for the bank's massive vaults, which were built well below layers of ice and rock. This made any attempted theft of credits or other holdings all but impossible.
At the height of the Clone Wars, Walon Vau and the clone commandos of Delta Squad provided initial reconnaissance of the facility, to help the Galactic Marines launch an aerial assault on the bank. During the attack, Vau andhis commandos managed to break into the bank and steal a fortune from the Vau family safe-deposit chamber, as a kind of retribution for the way that Walon was cut off from this family when he joined the Cuy'val Dar.

Drevan, Freon
This Xexto conman was known to have connections to various other groups and individuals, including the noted podracer Gasgano, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. In an effort to help with a scheme of selling poor-quality merchandise, Freon Drevan hired a young Xexto named Niai Fieso. The pair prospered in their illicit endeavors, eventually branching out into smuggling. Unfortunately, Freon was unaware of Niai's ambitions, and was left bankrupt after his partner embezzled all of their credits and left Freon to handle an unpaid tax debt, several years before the Battle of Naboo.
Freon fled his homeworld of Troiken and wandered the Outer Rim. He was in the audience of the Mos Espa Arena when Anakin Skywalker defeated Sebulba to win the Boonta Eve Podrace, and it was there that he noticed that the food vendor was his former partner.

Drex
This crimelord controlled the Gallapraxis System during the height of the New Order. Drex existed only as a huge, disembodied brain, kept alive by advanced technology and able to communicate through a series of holographic and audio transceivers. Drex hired Boba Fett to hunt down Feleen Bantillian and bring him to the Gallapraxis System for punishment, claiming that Bantillian had killed his son. In reality, Drex was Bantillian's father, and the pair had created the backstory to exact revenge on Fett for his earlier killing of Gavron Sil. Unfortunately, their plans were smashed by Fett's innate abilities, and he managed to kill Bantillian on Vornax. Fett returned to Drex to collect the bounty on Bantillian, bringing Bantillian's head as proof of his demise. Drex was forced to pay Fett the bounty, in order to maintain his cover story. 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.

This water-covered planet, found in the Drexel System, was the homeworld of the sea-dragons. It was originally settled by Quarg's father, after the Old Republic forced him to cease his pirate activities in the Korteen Asteroid Belt. They lacked an abundant source of metals, but managed to use other natural resources to survive. These first settlers split into two groups: the wreckers and the technicians. These technicians later split from the wreckers, and eventually became the Dragon Lords of the oceans. Years later, the Alliance scouted the system after the Battle of Yavin, hoping to find a planet suitable for a new base of operations. Luke Skywalker took the initial mission to Drexel One, but his ship was disabled and he was forced to crash into the oceans. The planet was orbited by three moons.

The long neck of the drexl supported its small head, which was dominated by a short, wide snout that was filled with sharp fangs. A fully-grown male specimen had a wingspan that was nearly twenty meters across. The Beastmasters of Onderon found ways, to a certain degree, to train drexls for use as mounts. Three riders were often required to handle a single drexl, with one rider focused on handling the reins and directing the beast, one rider armed with a weapon, and the third rider calling out orders to the controlling rider.

Droch
This small, repugnant, insect-like creature was first used by the Grissmath Dynasty in an attempt to wipe out the political prisoners on Nam Chorios. The drochs bite their victims and latch on, much like leeches. Also like leeches, the drochs have the ability to drain the lifeforce from a creature. If removed quickly, the droch will have only taken a small amount of force, and the victim feels slightly woozy. If allowed to remain in contact woth the flesh, a droch will burrow into its victim and be assimilated. However, rather than simply dissolving, the droch somehow entwines itself with its host, becoming an unseen but demanding part of its victim. It can continue to drain lifeforce, while the host simply dies from the loss of force. In this fashion, the droch was virtually undetectable, and the victim appears to have died for no reason. The droch which continues to grow strong by taking life energy from various victims can grow to large sizes, about a half-meter in height. These larger drochs have the ability to control smaller drochs, and can also obtain life energy from its subservient drochs. For this reason, the natives of Nam Chorios tried to keep the drochs from spreading beyond Nam Chorios, although a single outbreak did occur. Drochs flourish was dark, shadowy areas, for natural and reflected sunlight tends to drain their power. A swarm of drochs was known as the Death Seed plague, and although it was eventually controlled, it was not known how it was finally defeated.

Drog
This species of large, black beetle was native to the planet S'krrr. The drog travel in swarms, and will eat anything in their path. They will even scavenge for food, and have few natural enemies. They were known to the insectile S'krrr as one of the main pollinators of the multitude of plants found on their planet, and were therefore carefully maintained by gardeners. Their only true enemy, besides the S'krrr, were the shreevs, which consume about thirty drogs each per day. Thus, the S'krrr gardeners work to maintain a balanced population of shreevs and drogs. Drogs reproduce prolifically, requiring that shreevs be kept around in order to help control the drog population. Many xenobiologists have claimed the the S'krrr themselves were descended from the drogs, although this had never been scientifically proven. What was known was that a cult of S'krrr worshipped the drogs with god-like awe.

Droga, Jeng
This Dark Side adept was one of Emperor Palpatine's students, and was the pilot of the Emperor's personal yacht, the Emperor's Shadow. A master of the Jar'Kai style of two-handed comabt, Droga was known as a somber man whose loyalty to Palpatine ran extremely deep. It was rumored that Droga and Palpatine shared a psychic bond, which was the reason he was promoted to command the Emperor's Shadow. This bond was believed that have been the by-product of Droga's service as one of the Emperor's Hands. It was believed that Droga went insane and vanished, along with the Emperor's Shadow, shortly after the Emperor's death at the Battle of Endor.
Further investigation revealed that Droga had fled Endor for the planet Kaal, where he went insane, killing the bridge crew and crashing the ship into the ocean in an effort to join Palpatine in death. Droga did not die, though, as Palaptine's Dark Side spirit found Droga's dying body when it fled the destruction of the second Death Star. Sate Pestage later recovered Droga's body, and used Sith magic to extract Palpatine's essence. Droga was allowed to live on, and later blamed himself for not protecting Palaptine when the Emperor was finally dispatched on Byss. Droga returned to Kaal, hoping to find a way to resurrect Palpatine yet again.
He emerged during the Third Battle of Yavin, and went irrevocably insane upon learning that four former Royal Imperial Guards had pretended to be the Emperor. Droga was eventually captured and brought to justice by Kyle Katarn.

Droid
This was the generic term used to describe any of the various automatons used to perform any number of tasks throughout the galaxy. The official definition was provided by Cybot Galactica as "any mechanical and/or electronic construct designed and put into service to assist organic life." Although most beings considered the terms "droid" and "robot" to be synonymous, droids were different in that they were given self-awareness programming that allowed them to act without organic intervention. Droids took a variety of forms, from walking humanoid protocol units to hovering spherical interrogation units. It was generally held that droids "evolved" from the ancient robotic technologies of the galaxy, as soon as the first forms of artificial intelligence were programmed. There were five basic droid classifications:
Many droids were happy serving their owners, but some were badly mistreated or abused, and developed abherent personalities. These droids sometimes revolted against their owners, and several infamous droid uprisings during the latter stages of the Old Republic led to a general anti-droid sentiment among the organic inhabitants of the galaxy. During the Old Republic, an owner was responsible for the actions of their droids, even if the droid acted of its own volition. Much of the galaxy's perception of droids was changed during the Clone Wars, when endless numbers of battle droids were developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems for use as soldiers and fighters. For three years, the galaxy was bombarded with images of droid armies cutting down the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, and public sentiment began to move toward outright hatred of automata. With the institution of the New Order, Emperor Palpatine sought to have all droids banished from service, but the remnants of the Galactic Senate fought to maintain the use of servile droids. The Empire later established the "Droid Statutes," in an effort to further curb the criminal usage of droids. At the height of the New Order, anti-droid sentiment seemed to be prominent throughout the galaxy. Many historians believed that three factors caused this. First, the Clone Wars had shown how destructive and unfeeling an army of droids could be. Second, droids were viewed by an oppressed galaxy as taking jobs that could be done by an organic being. Third, many beings simply found the idea of non-organic sentience to be offensive, a feeling that echoed the pro-human stance of the Empire. This hatred of droids was nothing compared to the vehemence with which the Yuuzhan Vong destroyed droids, some twenty-five years after the Battle of Endor, as the alien invaders simply hated and destroyed all forms of non-organic technology.
Most droids were given individual serial numbers, and these numbers became the basic names used by their owners to identify them. Because these serial numbers could be quite long, given the millions of droids produced in the galaxy, droid names were shortened to the first four to six characters.

Droid Abolitionist Movement
This fanatic group, led by the fiery Xalto Sneerzick, promoted the belief that all droids were sentient creatures, and should be freed from subservience. The movement reached its height when Xalto and his followers grew bold enough to attack Cosmohaul Shipping transports, but died when some of Xalto's "emancipated" droids felt threatened by him. The droids killed Sneerzick's entire team.
(SWJ9)
Droid Attack Flare
This form of signal flare was used by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to signal an impending battle droid attack on a Republic base. These bright red flares were easily seen for kilometers around, ensuring that the base was alerted to the threat of a droid attack.

Droid Boarding Ship
This Separatist boarding vessel was a modified version of a pod-hunter. The four pincers of the pod-hunter were forged from hardened durasteel, and reinforced with more powerful drive systems. During transit, the pincers were kept in a closed position. The engines of the pod-hunter were upgraded, giving the vessel enough power to ram an enemy vessel and pierce its hull with the four pincers. Once through the hull, the four pincers were opened to secure the droid boarding ship to the hull, and to allow the droid contained inside the ship to launch their attack on the enemy's defenders.

Droid Buster
This projectile weapon was developed by the Grand Army of the Republic as a way to take out a large contingent of battle droids, during the height of the Clone Wars. The warhead of a droid buster exploded when it reached five meters above ground. The resulting detonation flattened everything within a fifty-meter radius, damaging battle droids beyond repair. Though somewhat inaccurate, these weapons had none of the side effects of an EMP weapon, which sometimes created enough backwash to knock out the sensitive systems of a clone trooper's helmet.

Droid Control Ship
This was the name of a unique Trade Federation Battleship that was heavily modified for use in controlling the immense automated armies of the Federation. Based on the same Hoersch-Kessel Drive LH-3210 cargo ship platform, the Droid Control Ship resembled the ring-like battleships it supported. However, the Droid Control Ship was different in that powerful sensory rectennae and broadcast transmission towers studded the rear of the ship, allowing the Droid Control Ship to hover in high orbit - up to 16,500 kilometers away - while maintaing transmission link-ups with ground-based forces. Once the other battleships had deployed their droids, they often moved out of the system entirely until the invasion was over. This left the Droid Control Ship behind to handle the operations of the droid army.
Armament and the on-board complement of droid hardware was similar to that of the Federation's battleships. However, shielding was much greater on the Droid Control Ship, providing an added measure of defense. Despite the upgraded sheilding and plating, Droid Control Ships were easy targets for the opponents of the Federation, and the loss of a droid control ship eliminated all the battle droids on the ground. This led to the development of a mobile control unit which could be deployed on the ground and moved about to avoid capture. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, these mobile units were held in reserve, until a droid control ship was damaged or destroyed. Then, the mobile unti was activated, reanimating the droids and catching Republic forces by surprise.

Droid Jammer
This form of weapon was developed by the Old Republic, during the era of the Clone Wars, to combat the droid starfighters of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Droid jammers were little more than communications jamming systems that were tuned to the frequencies of droid starfighters, and were used to disrupt the droid's sensors and avionics systems. This allowed a living pilot to gain an advantage in a dogfight.
(SSOG)
Droid Mine
This was a form of sentry droid produced by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the era of the Clone Wars. Droid mines were battle droids that could be placed in the ground in an inert state, with just the tops of their heads visible on the surface. The cranium of each droid mine was topped by a small antenna that could jump-start the droid mine if something came into contact with it. When activated, the droid mine dug itself out of the ground and targetted the nearest living object, firing on its location in order to eliminate its threat. It was not uncommon for clone troopers to stumble into huge minefields of droid mines, which rose up from the ground and began firing. The falling bodies of clone troopers and the shrapnel from damaged battle droids added to the conflict, since flying debris only served to activate more of the droid mines.

Droid Statutes
This was the name given to the that were enacted some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War to cover criminal actions perpetrated by droids. These laws were put in place in the wake of the Great Droid Revolution and the hostile takeover of the Gordian Reach by a G0-T0 unit. The Droid Statutes mirrored the laws which pertained to organic life forms, and provided suitable punishments for the offending droid and its owner. These laws were taken virtually without change and added to the Imperial Penal References, when the New Order was instituted by Emperor Palpatine.

Droid Tipping
A phrase originally developed by the Gungans, this activity essentially involved knocking over an inactive droid. The phrase was created at the end of the Battle of Naboo, after Anakin Skywalker had destroyed the Trade Federation's Droid Control Ship. Without a signal to give them directions, the battle droids on the surface of Naboo suddenly were deactivated. Several Gungans, including Jar Jar Binks and Captain Tarpals, realized that the droids were unable to fight back, and began knocking them over. Soon, all the battle droids had been "tipped" and thrown into scrap piles.

Droid Uprising, The
This era of Bakuran history occurred shortly after the planet was first settled by the Bakur Corporation. The H'Lokk Consortium had infected Bakur's droids with a virus that would instruct the droids to sabotage the settlers' colonization efforts. The virus' programming was flawed, however, and removed the non-violence failsafes of the droids. The droids began killing people, and with a week the Bakuran settlers had destroyed all the droids. The settlers lost forty percent of their original number, but the droids were disposed of, halting H'Lokk's plans.

Droidbreaker
This immense beast was native to the wilderness of the planet Belgaroth. The body of the droidbreaker, which was originally called the swamphulk, stood about five meters in height, and resembled a heavily-muscled rhinocerous. The huge, triangular head of the droidbreaker was protected by a thick plate of bony and armor-like scales. Its eyes were recessed into the skull for protection. The nose of a droidbreaker was also plated with armor, and their long tongues were extremely tough and prehensile. They earned their name from the fact that they consumed refined metals and plastics as easily as they devoured organic matter, preferring the circuitry and wiring of droids. Droidbreakers were also attracted to power sources, and could sense fluctuations in power at distances of up to 200 meters. Despite the high metal content of the droidbreaker's diet, many races found that the flesh of the droidbreaker was quite tasty, especially if ferrous-based foods were required.

Droideka
This was the name of the destroyer droids that were used by the Trade Federation to intimidate their enemies. The word was derived from the term "droid" and eka, the Colicoid term for "drone." The Colicoids invented the term after the Trade Federation ordered destroyer droids that were not independently controlled. Over time, the Neimoidians adopted the term as a word for "reinforcements," although destroyer droids were also denoted as droidekas.

Droideka Dispenser
This form of transport module was developed by the Separatists to deploy large numbers of droidekas into a battlezone, with minimal losses. Similar to battle droid dispensers and super battle droid dispensers, the droideka dispenser was an armored module that could be dropped into the middle of a combat zone, allowing the droidekak packed inside to emerge and begin firing without suffering an damage before battle.

Electromagnetic pulses wreaked havoc with the sensitive electronic systems of a droid or other technology, but were generally harmless to living beings. However, the Katarn armor used by the clone commandos was loaded with technology that was disabled by the blast of an EMP weapon. Thus, any commando hit by an EMP weapon was considered to have been "droided."

Drokka
This Rodian bounty hunter was active during the final decades of the Old Republic. Noted for his melee combat skills, Drokka was among the handful of bounty hunters to accepted a job to eliminate several Cularin-based freelance agents, just after the Battle of Naboo. The group, led by the assassin droid K1-1R, first tried to capture the agents aboard Totor's Party Kave, but the agents managed to escape with Korlana Toryn. Shiana Trist later managed to pin them down in a Nar Shaddaa warehouse, allowing Drokka and K1-1R to move in and capture them, along with Korlana Toryn.
Drokka reluctantly agreed that Korlana should be used to test the carbon-freezing chamber the hunters had secured for freezing the agents, but he allowed one of the agents to take her place. Although the freezing process worked on the first agent, it overloaded the aging chamber, causing it to explode. K1-1R was incapacitated, giving the agents a chance to break free. In the firefight that followed, Drokka was shot and killed just before K1-1R was destroyed, allowing the agents to escape.

Drol
This was the name given to the spirit that supposedly inhabited the planet Iego, during the final years of the Old Republic. Also known as the Spirit of the Thousand Moons and the Phantom Ruler of Iego, Drol was at once benevolent and malicious, protecting Iego from outsiders while preventing the planet's inhabitants from ever leaving. During the Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered that "Drol" was actually a Separatist defense system that had been installed in the asteroids that orbited Iego. Any ship flying near the moon Millius Prime would trigger a proximity sensor, which would signal a collection of laser weapons to fire on the ship. The laser system was destroyed by Skywalker and Kenobi, with help from Jaybo Hood and his reprogrammed vulture droids, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. This put an end to the mystery of Drol, and allowed the inhabitants of Iego to come and go as they pleased.

This Ryn befriended Han Solo on the Jubilee Wheel, albeit to Han's dismay. Han had been working with Roa to seek out Reck Desh, and Droma and his companions were searching for passage to Rhinnal to look for another group of Ryn, including Droma's sister. Instead, they were all caught up in the Yuuzhan Vong attack on the station, and Roa was lost. Droma helped Han escape the station, and they parted ways, only to be reunited aboard the Queen of Empire. Ever in the path of danger, Droma and Han were suddenly in the midst of a Peace Brigade ambush of the ship, in an effort to recover the Yuuzhan Vong priestess Elan. After Major Showolter was injured, Han and Droma agreed to transport Elan and Vergere to Coruscant. Droma proved to be something of a nuisance, but Han found himself liking the unusual humanoid. In many ways, Han felt that he was just allowing Droma to fill the void left by Chewbacca's death, but Droma nonetheless proved to be an ally. Droma was also responsible for saving Han's life - not once, but twice - during their flight from Ord Mantell and their transport of the Yuuzhan Vong priestess Elan. It was Droma who recognized that Vergere was a species from the known galaxy, not a creature the Yuuzhan Vong brought with them. His telling of Han's future with a deck of sabacc cards also helped Droma realize that Elan was not a defector, but instead part of a plot to kill the Jedi Knights. After Han decided to go back out to search for Roa, he agreed to help Droma continue the search for his sister. After missing the group of Ryn on Ruan, Droma was arrested by Salliche Agricultural Corporation for forging transport documents for refugees who had been working on the planet. In reality, the documents had been forged by Droma's relative, Gaph. Han was forced to rescue him, with the help of the droid Baffle, and then later freed several thousand droids who had been inhibited by Salliche Ag. After being reunited with his family, Droma and the Ryn fled into space to hide. He ended up on Onadax, where he again ran into the Solos. This time, the decided to level things with Han, admitting that he himself was the actually the leader of the Ryn network. His involvement with Han had given him a kind of notoriety among his people, and Droma eventually accepted his position of leadership. After the Battle of Esfandia, he again took his leave of the Solos, departing on the Fortune Seeker before Han could question him.

Although born on Kailion, Rade considered himself a native of the planet Garqi. He was the son of Dynba Tesc and Captain Dromath. Rade was education as a botanist, and was serving as a teaching assistant when the Yuuzhan Vong invasion began. Rade became the de facto leader of the Garqi resistance, especially since many of its early members were his own students. He later greeted Corran Horn, when the Jedi arrived on Garqi during the Yuuzhan Vong occupation of the planet. He had been managing the meager resistance to the Vong presence, carrying on his mother's legacy of fighting against those who would usurp power. With Corran's appearance on Garqi, along with that of Jacen Solo, Rade hoped to garner Jedi sanctioning for the vicious work of his resistance team. Corran didn't give it to him outright, but he allowed Rade to ensure the safety of the general populace from Yuuzhan Vong attacks. After the discovery that the pollen of the bafforr tree was deadly to the Yuuzhan Vong's vonduun crab armor, Corran had to return to Coruscant. Rade promised to continue working toward the liberation of Garqi until the New Republic could lend military assistance.

Dromund Kaas
Located in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy, this swampy planet was a forgotten Sith world that became the stuff of legends, as it found its way into spooky stories and anti-Jedi conspiracy theories. In the wake of the Great Hyperspace War, the planet was all but unknown until a group of retreating Sith Lords happened upon the system after a series of uncalculated hyperspace jumps. These Sith made random jumps for twenty years before locating Dromund Kaas, hoping to throw off any pursuit from the Galactic Republic. The Sith quickly set about established a base in what would become Kaas City, and began to re-establish their own power and strength. After more than a millennia, Dromund Kaas had become the center of the Sith Empire. However, the collection of dark side energies that formed after centuries of Sith rituals and investigation transformed the planet's atmosphere, and the ionosphere was filled with electrical storms that shrouded the planet. With the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, the Sith were established as the primary power in the galaxy, and Dromund Kaas became the focal point for all political and military decisions.
What happened on Dromund Kass in the millennia that followed the eventual defeat of the Sith Empire was lost to history. It wasn't until the Clone Wars, after it was discovered that Count Dooku had altered the records in the Jedi Archives, that Jedi Master Yoda discovered that the Dromund System was real. Yoda found that Dooku had erased more than three dozen systems from the Archives, so that their history with the Sith would remain a secret. Yoda learned of the planet's location, deep in the heart of the ancient Sith Empire, although it was a remote world that was considered something of a backwater swamp world. The planet's atmosphere had gradually regained some form of normalcy, and the atmosphere was largely breathable. This made it possible, many years after the Battle of Ruusan, for Darth Millennial to establish the Dark Force religion on Dromund Kaas, laying the groundwork for what would become the Prophets of the Dark Side. During the Galactic Civil War, it was rumored that Emperor Palpatine used the planet as a training ground for many of his Dark Jedi apprentices, although nothing could be proven because Yoda never made his discoveries public. Kyle Katarn discovered the planet's location while investigating ancient inscriptions found on Altyr 5, and he nearly succombed to the Dark Side of the Force there. However, Mara Jade managed to locate him and pull him back from the brink. Katarn's investigation led him to discover that a Sith compound had been established on Dromund Kaas by Darth Millennial, a Sith acolyte who rejected the Rule of Two and set out on his own in the wake of the Battle of Ruusan. It was believed that this rogue sect later became the Prophets of the Dark Side.
Jedi Master Luke Skywalker later worked with the New Republic to remove Dromund Kaas from many planetary databases and navigational maps, in order to keep its location a secret until a strong contingent of Jedi Knights could determine how best to eliminate its threat. Dromund Kaas, the third world in the Dromund System, was orbited by a pair of moons. Note that Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force indicates that Dromund Kaas was located in the Thurra System.

Drongar
This planet was one of many worlds that was devastated by the fighting that took place during the Clone Wars. A swamp-covered planet dominated by steamy jungles, Drongar was originally discovered by a Nikto survey team some 200 years before the Battle of Geonosis. It was the innermost world in a four-planet system, and was orbited by a pair ot tiny moons. Drongar was one of many worlds that seemingly had nothing important to offer either the Old Republic or the Confederacy of Independent Systems, although both sides fought valiantly to control the bota which grew on the planet. The surface of the planet was continually whipped by monsoons and rainstorms, which dumped more water onto the planet's surface and maintained a cycle of humidity and heat that refuled more storms. The average temperature on Drongar was usually around the normal body temperature of a human, making it unconfortable at best. Making matters worse, the atmosphere of the planet was usually laden with a variety of adaptogenic, fungal spores, many of which caused spore sickness or other problems in humanoid races. The oxygen levels in the atmosphere were also higher than normal, which may have contributed to the changes the spores go through when airborne. Some of the spores were autoluminescent, and glowed at night, giving Drongar a weird half-dark whenever the concentration of spores was great enough. The entire ecosystem of the planet seemed to be one large organism, as scientist discovered that the many adaptogenic mutations that occurred in some species seemed to be tied to other mutations that occurred planetwide.

Droon
This Imperial Admiral was outwardly loyal to Governor Torlock of Corulag, but he was secretly in love with Torklock's daughter, Frija, who was plotting to eliminate the Governor and take control of his holdings. Droon was also a historian, and was well-versed on the history of the Old Republic and the rise of the Empire. He captured Jix when the mercenary was sent by Darth Vader to deliver a message, and panicked when Jix brought up the subject of the Dark Lord. He tried to kill Jix and eliminate Torlock's human replica droid by dropping them into a cave inhabited by a dragon snake, but Jix killed it and returned to the surface. As Droon killed the real Frija in an attempt to implicate her as the leader of their plot, Jix knocked him unconscious and brought him back to Coruscant to face Vader's wrath. Jix also brought along some of Droon's weapons collection, which included several Jedi lightsabers. When Jix explained Droon's plans to Vader and turned over the lightsabers, Vader executed Droon with the weapon for his duplicity.

Droq'l
This three-armed humanoid served as the head bartender at Shanko's Hive, on the Borgo Prime asteroid, during the height of the New Republic. Droq'l had blue skin and three eyes, two of which were located in the center of his face and the third found on top of his head. Two of Droq'l's arms hungs from his shoulders, while the third seemed to sprout from his chest. A skilled bartender, Droq'l often smiled while mixing drinks in one hand, washing glasses with another hand, and shaking hands with third, revealing his glossy black teeth. However, when necessary, Droq'l could also break up a fight by grabbing two combatants in two of his hands while punching each fighter into submission with the third.
When Zekk arrived on Borgo Prime in search of a bounty, Droq'l offered him a chance to track down Fonterrat, after the small-time smuggler failed to deliver a shipment of ronik shells. When Zekk returned with word of Fonterrat's demise and the loss of the shells, Droq'l paid him anyway, since he believed that Fonterrat had gotten what he deserved, and there was nothing Zekk could have done to change his fate.

About five years before the Battle of Geonosis, Drossh teamed up with the Rodian smuggler Rezzo, and the pair made their way rimward before ending up in the Cularin System as the Clone Wars broke out. Drossh was the more aggressive of the pair, a trait that often translated into impulsiveness. When Drossh discovered that one shipment contained several huge weapons, Rezzo was unable to curb his partner's enthusiasm. The Trandoshan started activating one of the guns, and Rezzo tried to stop him. This caused the weapon's power systems to overload, resulting in a huge explosion that only multiplied when it set off the rest of the weapons. Both Rezzo and Drossh were killed in the explosion, and their ship - the Vor'Teth - was badly damaged and later sold as salvage.

Druckenwell
This Mid-Rim planet, the primary world in the Druckenwell System of the Doldur Sector, was a mining world on which the ruling elite was out-numbered substantially by the general working populace. The social and economic divisions between the two groups was astonishing, and was made even greater during the Imperial occupation. Most of its cities were overcrowded, and the few wetlands that separate them were subject to pollution. The average day on Druckenwell lasted 32 standard hours. The average year lasted 309 local days. Located along the Corellian Run, Druckenwell was forced to bring its small naval force to full alert, after the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Kalarba and Hosk Station. However, the small force was no match for the alien invaders, who overran the planet before taking Falleen. The corporate leaders of Druckenwell quickly capitulated to the Yuuzhan Vong, vowing to dismantle their cities and provide arable land for growing food and other resources.

Drybal
This thin-bodied Yarkora worked as an information gatherer in Raze's organization, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. Drybal was easily cowed by Raze's appearance, a trait that was heightened when the Alliance managed to ambush an Imperial supply convoy before Raze's people could reach it. The gangster fumed about the loss, and intimated that Drybal was the double-crossing spy who provided the information to the Alliance. Drybal tried to get back into Raze's good graces by intercepting Raze before he could leave Per Lupelo. However, he was unprepared for Tarson's use of a high-powered tazer to stun his band of goons, and Drybal found himself powerless to stop Tarson from fleeing. In the weeks that followed, Drybal and Raze were forced to flee Per Lupelo when Darth Vader sent a task force to bombard the planet from orbit, after learning of Raze's operations from Wyl Tarson.

Drysso, Joak
This staunch Imperial supporter served as the Captain of the Virulence in the years leading up to the Battle of Endor. When the Executor was destroyed at Endor, Drysso took the Virulence and ran, hoping to make it to Imperial space before the Alliance's forces could catch him. He then served Ysanne Isard, and was eventually promoted to the command of the Lusankya, making way for his executive officer, Lakwii Vaarscha, to take command of the Virulence. When Isard ordered the destruction of the Rogue Squadron space station at Yag'Dhul, she sent both Varrscha and Drysso to do the job. However, Drysso was maneuvered by Booster Terrik into a position that locked the Lusankya in the space station's tractor beams, and Terrik brought all weapons to bear on the Super-class Star Destroyer. The Virulence interposed itself between the Lusankya and the space station, allowing Drysso the opportunity to escape. He took the chance offered to him, believing that Varrscha and the Virulence were destroyed. In fact, the ship was captured by Terrik. Drysso returned to Thyferra, and was defending the world when the Rogues initiated their attack. As the Battle of Thyferra began, the Lusankya took heavy fire from the recommissioned Star Destroyer Freedom, but managed to disable the smaller ship. Drysso then pummeled the Rogues' flee of freighters and smaller ships until the Virulence reappeared. Drysso believed that the tide had finally turned his way. However, the Virulence was under the command of Booster Terrik, and its starfighter bays were full of A-Wings under the command of Pash Cracken. Once again, the Lusankya took heavy fire until it was left adrift. Drysso threatened to ram the ship into the planet below, but he was shot by Lieutenant Waroen before he could execute this plan. Ysanne Isard later revealed that she had ordered Drysso to flee Thyferra, knowing that he would never leave his post. She sent Drysso to his death so that she would eventually have a chance to recover the Lusankya, once the New Republic had refitted her.

Although marketed as a seeker droid, the appearance and equipment of this Arakyd Industries automaton left no doubt that it was designed for combat. Known as the Deathstrike, this spherical droid measured just under a half-meter in diameter, but was equipped with six internally-mounted blaster weapons that provided it a near-complete sphere of firing options. The repulsorlift coils that circled its body added to the DSK-1's menacing appearance, allowing it to move about in all three dimensions while tracking anf taking down its targets. Originally produced in the wake of the Clone Wars, the DSK-1 was used primarily as a war machine, but found a small niche as a defensive droid.

D-Three was one of the five Dreadnaughts which was buried when the ship crashed into a large planetoid in the Redoubt, after it was attacked by a group of Chiss led by Thrawn. During the crash, the turbolift pylons connecting D-Three to the rest of the ship were damaged, virtually cutting it off from the other five Dreadnaughts. Because of this, it was in D-Three that the Outbound Flight Colony established an isolated prison for beings suspected to have some connection to the Force. If these individuals actually exhibited some control of the Force, they were first sent to the Quarantine on D-Six. There, potential Force-sensitives were tested. Any member of the colony who exhibited a strong connection to the Force was then incarcerated in D-Three to keep them from acting against the rest of the colony.

Unknown to Dualli and the others who arrived at the remote moon, they were being tested by the Imperial spy known as X-7, who was trying to capture Luke Skywalker. Dualli considered himself the best Kobok pilot in the Outer Rim, if not the best pilot, but he often went without work because many of his employers ended just as dead as the bounties he tracked down. This was because, in more than twenty years of doing mercenary work, he came to hate most of his employers, and eliminated them for being the same kind of scum they hired him to kill. Dualli, in his custom Cloakshape fighter, was one of the first to arrive, and quickly found himself under fire from his supposed employer. The Cloakshape had been outfitted with a maneuvering wing and a turbocharged ion engine, which gave the ship agility and speed that were uncommon in other such ships. However, he lacked the skill of the man who had called him to Iope, and Dualli was killed when X-7 shot down the Cloakshape fighter and destroyed it.

Duare, Dejah
This female Zeltron worked as Ves Volette's personal assistant, during the final years of the Old Republic. It was believed that Dejah and Volette were lovers, and many beings claimed that she used her skills as a Zeltron to influence prospective buyers to buy his work. She denied any such tampering with the emotions of Volette's clients, however, Known as Deej to Volette and their friends, Dejah worked hard to ensure that Volette earned the recognition and the credits that he deserved as an artist. Thus, when Volette was struck by the combined memnii of those Caamasi who were killed in an attack on their homeworld, she tried her best to urge him to attend a gallery show in his honor. Volette refused, and set to work on a new light sculpture. When Dejah tried to locate Volette later in the day, she was frightened and confused to discover that he had been violently murdered. Unable to trust the diligence of the Imperially-controlled police, Dejah turned to Jax Pavan to help her discover Volette's killer.
She explained to Jax that she and Volette had few real friends on Coruscant, having arrived on the planet sometime just before the end of the Clone Wars. The closest beings they knew were Vlacan and Kirma Umber, and when Pavan's investigation led back to the Umbers, things looked bad. However, Pavan and Den Dhur discovered that it had actually been the Umbers' domestic droid that had committed the crime, a fact that ledt Prefect Pol Haus without a criminal to arrest. Dejah suggested that Haus and his men could manufacture enough evidence to accuse a wanted criminal of the murder, thereby removing the criminal from the streets. With the investigation closed, Dejah decided to return to her homeworld of Zeltros, and Pavan worked with the Whiplash organization to book her passage aboard the Green Asteroid. She insisted that Pavan and his comrades accept an indefinite continuation of the stipend she was providing them during the investigation, as a way of showing her gratitude for solving the crime. Then, after the group was attacked by Aurra Sing, Dejah decided to remain on Coruscant and become part of the resistance movement. Shortly afterward, Jax discovered the presence of Kajin Savaros, and took the young boy in to help protect him from the Inquisitorius. Both Dejah and Jax accidentally discovered that Kaj seemed to "disappear" whenever the boy was near a light sculpture, as Jax could no longer sense Kaj through the Force, and Dejah could sense no telepathic link to him. Jax proposed that they use Ves Volette's light sculptures to protect the boy, but Dejah initially refused. However, she soon realized that Kaj's safety was important, and so they put plans in motion to relocate the boy to Volette's studio. There, he could be surrounded by light sculptures and kept hidden from the eyes and senses of the Inquisitors.
Dejah agreed to remain with Kaj in the studio, allowing Jax and the others to deal with Tuden Sal. Dejah then realized that Ves Volette had kept the light sculptures in his studio as a way to block his emotions from her, in yet another attempt to keep his private life private. This explained why she had not felt any reaction from Volette's death with her telepathic abilities. Dejah continued to remain with Kaj, believing that her Zeltron abilities allowed her to keep the boy calm. Thus, when Kaj was captured by Imperial Inquisitors and Jax agreed to meet with Darth Vader to discuss the boy's release, Dejah asked to accompany him. She explained that her presence might help keep Kaj from lashing out through the Force, and Jax agreed to the plan. At the meeting with Vader, and much to the dismay of her comrades, Dejah revealed that she had been secretly working for Vader and the Imperials. She had provided the Inquisitors with the information that led to Kaj's capture, in exchange for the opportunity to experience the Force for herself. She explained that she could not have done this with Jax, because his Jedi upbringing prevented him from doing so. Probus Tesla, however, had stated that he would help her, and Dejah agreed to turn on her friends. Jax then revealed that he had an idea that she had turned on him when he experienced the Force-aided vision of Kaj's capture. In addition to the scent of the spice gas used to drug Kaj, Jax had also experienced a sensation of Zeltron pheronomes.
Unfortunately, events did not go as Dejah had planned. Vader managed to acquire the bota sample that Laranth Tarak had been hiding for I-5YQ, and injected it into his system. The bota greatly augmented Vader's connection to the Cosmic Force, surging through the Dark Lord and turning him into a kind of weapon. Vader spewed blasts of Force energy in every direction, smashing I-5YQ into a wall and damaging the droid's chassis. Dejah sensed that her chance to experience the Force was at hand, and tried to embrace Vader in order to make the connection. However, one of Vader's random blasts of energy struck her fill in the chest, smashing Dejah into a wall and crushing the life from her body.

Dua-wurm
This rock-eating beast was native to the planet Cularin. Measuring up to three meters in length, it was named for the fact that it had two heads at the end of its neck, which it used to dig wide tunnels through the rocks which gave it sustainence. These creatures migrated to Cloud Mountain after the volcano erupted, where they found vast quantities of molten ores being brought to the surface. The dua-wurm fed by biting into the rock and leaving behind a saliva which was filled with acid. This broke down the rock and made digestion easier. When miners discovered Cularin's rich natural resources, the duam-wurm was considered a dangerous nuisance, since it ate the very ores that were being mined, and viciously defended its territory.

Unfortunately for Lando, the Yuuzhan Vong moved into the asteroid field and set up a sort of base camp. They picked off several ships traveling to and from Dubrillion, but in general allowed the natives of the planet to flee for the Inner Rim. However, as soon as the New Republic began to evacuate the planet, the Vong attacked the remaining natives, decimating the fleeing refugees before the rest escaped.

This was the name of the fake alien race that was adopted by the members of the Fireclaw Horde, when they set out to cause violence and trouble at the Cularin Classic swoop race, sometime after the Battle of Naboo. They pretended to be Duckonian swoop racers, in an effort to carry out Mebara Jos' plans to disrupt the event. The fact that there were no such beings as Duckonians was discovered by Di'hal'uma, whose information on Mebara Jos eventually led to her capture.
According to their backstory, the bird-like Duckonians were methane breathers, which required them to wear specialized environment suits in oxygen-based environments. While this allowed the Togorian thugs of the Fireclaw Horde to move about unnoticed, it created a bit of a problem when one Togorian accidentally ripped their suit. Although the Togorian noticed the rip and returned to the Fireclaw Horde's hideout, the locals commented on the fact that the Duckonian seemed to have no trouble with the possible venting of its methane atmosphere, since the individual took a leisurely five minutes to get help.

Duefgrin
This teenaged Brolfi was building what appeared to be a racing swoop in the common area of the Covered Bush house ring, some five years after the Battle of Naboo, when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker encountered him on Barlok. The Jedi had been searching for the Brolfi that were involved with the assassination attempt on Passel Argente and the Brolfi government, and Duefgrin happened to be in the neighborhood. In an effort to gain his confidence, Anakin agreed to help Duefgrin fix a problem with his Split-X air intakes. He tried to swing the conversation to the subject of burst thrusters, which the Jedi had learned were being used to create a missile for the assassination attempt.

Duel, Rik
A smuggling friend from Han Solo's and Lando Calrissian's early years on Nar Shaddaa, Rik Duel helped the Alliance take out the bounty hunter base on Stenos. He and his companions, Chihdo and Dani, had joined the Alliance after seeing what the Empire was doing to freelance smugglers, and found themselves wrapped up in the ancient religion of the Stenax people. After the Alliance fled Stenos, Rik remained behind, ostensibly as a point of contact in case any other Alliance personnel returned to Stenos. In reality, Rik was searching for the statue of the lost god Vol, which he believed would earn him the respect and loyalty of the Stenaxes. However, as soon as the statue was located, Duel threatened to take the statue to Imperial Governor Matrin. He nearly succeeded, but the Stenaxes learned of his plans and set out to recover their statue. It was believed that Rik, along with Governor Matrin, were killed by the Stenaxes before they recovered the statue of Vol. However, Duel remained on Stenos and bided his time. When Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian returned to Stenos in an effort to locate Bossk, Luke ran into Rik during an escape from a bar mob. The group managed to overcome the efforts of Bossk and IG-88 to eliminate them, freeing Stenos from the control of the bounty hunters. Rik, meanwhile, began scheming a way to use the Stenaxes as a fighting force. This never materialized into a good plan, so he rejoined Dani amd Chihdo and set out for Iskalon to salvage what they could from the ruins of Pavillion. This plan also fell through when Mone demanded that they leave the planet.

Dueling Academy
This form of educational facility was believed to pre-date even the Old Republic itself, with several being able to trace their roots back to the era of Xim the Despot. The earliest of these academies was established to teach the art of self-defense with weaponry, but over the centuries they evolved into schools which taught the art and chivalry of dueling. Each academy had its own set of philosophies on dueling, which were shaped by the master instructors and the weapons they preferred to use, but all considered physical combat to be the basest from of combat. During the height of the Old Republic, attendance and graduation from a dueling academy was a mark of prestige, conveying a worldly sense of mystique and upbringing. Many of these schools benefitted from the teachings of individuals who failed to attain the rank of Jedi Knight, for these individuals brought the art of lightsaber combat to dueling schools. For this reason, the general public came to see the Jedi Order as the greatest of all dueling academies. While many of these schools accepted the linkage to the Jedi as a way to bolster their own image, they failed to see how public opinion could influence their existence. During the last decades of the Old Republic, as the Jedi Order was deemed ineffectual in the struggles leading up to the Clone Wars, the public lost interest in dueling schools. In just a few years, all but one dueling academy - the School of Hidden Wisdom - had shut down operations and faded into history.

Duff-Jikab
This underworld ritual, originating with many Hutt crimelords on Nar Shaddaa, was also known as the Cutthroat Hunt. Under the tradition of the Duff-Jikab, a being was forced to serve as the prey species in a hunt conducted by their captor. Under traditional laws, the prey was given a pre-defined head start before pursuit began, but this aspect was often overlooked in deference to getting the hunt underway. If the prey managed to survive in the wilderness for the entire day, without being captured or killed, they were allowed to go free. Otherwise, they were at the mercy of the hunters.

Dug
This race of arboreal mammals was native to the planet Malastare. The average Dug was hairless, having leathery, grey skin and small, beady eyes. The males and females were virtually indistinguishable until the mating season, when the males inflated colorful folds of skin around their neck to attract a mate. They moved about easily by walking on their hind legs, their forelegs, or on all fours. They used their four hands to help them move through the trees of their homeworld.
Much of their language was punctuated with knuckle rapping and foot stomping.
As a people, Dugs were known for their vicious and belligerent nature. Dugs became the sworn enemies of the Gran when a group of Gran established a settlement on Malastare. They fought viciously for many years before the Old Republic intervened, as the Gran believed that the Dugs were subservient and incapable of ruling themselves. Unfortunately for the Dugs, the Republic ruled in favor of the Gran, and the Dugs were pushed to the fringes of Malastare's economy.
In the wake of this decision, Dug society became insular, and they turned into self-congratulatory braggarts. During the last years of the Old Republic, general opinion of the Dug race suffered because of this. They were perceived as criminals with a penchant for violence.
Mating among Dug males and females was centered around the display of the male's neck-skin, which was puffed out to indicate his desire to mate with a given female. If no other male was near, the female accepted the male's offer.
When a Dug died, the body was prepared for a funeral by piercing it with heavy hooks. During the funeral itself, heavy iron balls that were inscribed with runes were attached to the balls, and the body was dropped into the Ghoop Ocean.

They succeeded in locating the treaaure, and began to remove as much as they could before the water levels rose with the tides. However, they were double-crossed by K'zk, who left them to die when the tides began filling the treasure chamber.

Duinuogwuin
A Force-sensitive race of huge, snakelike creatures, the Duinuogwuin averaged up to 50 meters in length, with multiple pairs of legs on a scaled body. They also had gossamer wings and floppy, elephantine ears. The wings of the Duinuogwuin were vestigial in nature, virtually incapable of lifting their immense bodies. However, the Duinuogwuin were observed flying about by beating these wings, and many scientists theorized that there was a natural form of "repulsorlift organ" in the body of a Duinuogwuin that assisted with flight. The only time it appeared that the wings of a Duinuogwuin were of any use was during a flight through the vacuum of space, and environment that the Duinuogwuin were entirely capable of inhabiting. These beings earned the nickname Star Dragons because of their appearance and their penchant for traveling the galaxy. Their homeworld was unknown, but they appeared in almost any environment, even the vacuum of deep space. They were an honorable race, and there were rumors of the very ancient Duinuogwuin serving as Jedi Knights. The galaxy's first true contact with the Duinuogwuin came some 15,500 years before the Battle of Yavin, and nearly ended in disaster during the so-called Duinuogwuin Contention. It was also rumored among the xenoarchaeologists who studied them that a large percentage of young dragons were born as wild, vicious beasts. Each Duinuogwuin was monosexual, and they procreated by combining a haploid gamete with that from another dragon. Because of this, many newborns were non-intelligent brutes that had to be destroyed or abandoned. For this reason, many Duinuogwuin studied genetics and heredity, in an effort to prevent the slow degeneration of their race. No being knew where it was, but the Star Dragons maintained a hidden graveyard where they went to die. Several scientists observed the Duinuogwuin expelling super-hot belches of gas that could scorch plastisteel.

This was the of the brief hostilities the erupted between the Old Republic and the Duinuogwuin race, when the Duinuogwuin first made contact with the rest of the galaxy, some 15,500 years before the Battle of Yavin. Republic scouts had reacted poorly to their first sighting of the Star Dragons, and fled to Coruscant after firing several defensive volleys. The Star Dragons followed the scout ships back to Coruscant, to find out what they were up against. An intense war broke out on Coruscant between both sides, until Supreme Chancellor Fillorean and the Star Dragon known as Borz'Mat'oh were able to work out a peaceful settlement to the hostilities. To commemorate the end of the conflict, both sides founded the University of Coruscant, hoping to provide greater education and promote greater tolerance throughout the galaxy.

A Mistryl warrior, she was part of Manda D'ulin's team during the middle years of the New Order. When the team was paid to secure the Hammertong project, the mission went sour and Manda was killed. Shada and Karoly D'ulin managed to recover the Hammertong, but were forced to Tatooine in a stolen strike cruiser. In trying to secure passage, Shada impersonated Brea Tonnika and went into the Mos Eisley cantina just before Ben Kenobi and Luke Skywalker arrived to book passge to Alderaan. In a bizarre twist of fate, the real Brea Tonnika had left just three hours before Shada arrived. This tipped off Riij Winward, who was on guard at the Mos Eisley jail. He let Shada free, but could not get her to give up the Hammertong. She eventually found a way to get a section of the weapon off Tatooine and into the hands of the Alliance. Shada later became the bodyguard of the smuggler Mazzic, using her sharp-edged skills and knife-like fingernail inserts to keep Mazzic safe. The Mistryl society had allowed her to be employed by Mazzic, hoping to obtain wealth for Emberlene as Mazzic's organization grew. When the smuggler's company failed to live up to their expectations, the Mistryl sent Karoly to intercept Shada and return her to Emberlene for re-assignment. Shada balked at this, and a struggle ensued. Shada managed to defeat Karoly and flee from both Mazzic and the Mistryl. She then tried to meet up with Leia Organa-Solo to offer her services as a warrior to the New Republic. She tried calling, but her calls were always rerouted. So, she infiltrated a secret meeting between Leia and Talon Karrde at the Orowood Tower, but she ended up working for Karrde as part of the mission to find out where Jorj Car'das was hiding. After finding Car'das on Exocron and defeating Rei'kas, Shada learned from Car'das the true history of Emberlene. He offered her a datacard that contained the names of the mercenaries who destroyed the planet, as well as offering a second datacard. Shada decided that it was time the Mistryl moved on from their needs for revenge, and took the second card. It contained histories of Flim, Grodin Tierce, and Moff Disra, which she and Karrde returned to Admiral Pellaeon to use. After the Caamas Incident was resolved and a peace treaty was placed on the table, Shada agreed to work for the new Intelligence agency Karrde set up to share information between the Empire and the New Republic. Shada remained loyal to Karrde, and accompanied him to Yavin 4 during the rescue of the Jedi students from the praxeum on the moon.

This was the name given to the Noghri meeting places found in each clan's land, on the planet Honoghr. Each of the dukhas was decorated with the clan's genealogical history, with the decorations blending into the functional aspects of the structure. On the exterior, pillars of polished wood taken from entire tree trunks held up the roof. The entire structure was held together by a metal band that ran around the outside of the pillars. A dukha measured about twenty meters in diameter and about four meters in height. A conical roof added another three meters. Entrance to the dukha's interior was through a pair of wooden doors. The interior of a dukha was no less impressive, with the main dais - known as the High Seat - standoing about two-thirds of the way to the back. In the middle of the room, a huge concave dish was suspended from each of the exterior poles. Lights hidden along the edge of the dish pointed into the bowl and up toward the ceiling, providing a way to light the interior with diffused light. The concave shape also served as a way to concentrate sound.

Dulac
This Artorian man was a friend of king Caled Galfridian, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When the alien invaders first struck at Artorias, Dulac was able to rally a group of survivors and fled to the nearest spaceport, only to find that every ship had been sabotaged. This information pointed to the fact that there was a spy in their midst, although Dulac could find no evidence of the Yuuzhan Vong among the ships. When he explained this to Caled, they both realized that the aliens had had help from an Artorian conspirator. Caled ordered the assembled survivors to do what they could to get any ships spaceworthy, and anyone who was not a technician was ordered to guard the spaceport. Dulac accompanied Caled to the city center, where they hoped to destroy as many Yuuzhan Vong as possible, while giving the other survivors a chance to evacuate. Dulac was struck in the chest by a warrior's amphistaff while defending Caled from attackers who came from behind them, giving his life to save his king.

When the team was paid to secure the Hammertong project, the mission went sour and Manda was killed. Karoly and Shada D'ukal managed to recover the Hammertong, but were forced to Tatooine in a stolen strike cruiser. In trying to secure passage, Karoly impersonated Shenni Tonnika and went into the Mos Eisley cantina just before Ben Kenobi and Luke Skywalker appeared, trying to book passage to Alderaan. In a bizarre twist of fate, the real Shenni Tonnika had left just three hours before Karoly arrived. This tipped off Riij Winward, who was on guard at the Mos Eisley jail. He let Karoly free, but could not get her to give up the Hammertong. Karoly was later sent to Borcorash to "recover" Shada, for the Mistryl felt that Mazzi'c organization wasn't helping them anymore. Shada defeated her in a brief struggle and escaped. Karoly continued to pursue her, nearly catching her on Coruscant before Shada joined Talon Karrde. Karoly continued her pursuit, although she had very little to go on. She stowed away on the Lady Luck when Lando Calrissian, Han Solo, Lobot, and Moegid traveled to Bastion to try and recover a copy of the Caamas Document. There, she stumbled across Zothip and his team, and decided to see if she could settle an old score with them. Instead, she found herself in the midst of a power struggle between Zothip and Moff Disra. When Zothip and his men tried to fight their way out, Karoly took the opportunity to attack. She and Major Tierce took out several of the pirates, and Karoly managed to kill Zothip with a knife to his spine just as he tried to assault Disra. After Control managed to take over the Cavrilhu Pirates, Disra and Flim - disguised as Thrawn - offered Karoly and the Mistryl a chance to serve the new Empire. Karoly agreed to bring Paloma D'asima to Yaga Minor, in order to discuss an alliance. The alliance was killed before it could be created, though, when Admiral Pellaeon arrived on the scene and exposed Disra, Tierce, and Flim for their true selves. Karoly then accompanied D'asima back to Emberlene.

Duloks were generally taller than their Ewok cousins, and had pink skin covered with grayish-green fur, and were rude and dishonest. Most Duloks lived in small clans that inhabited the swamp of the Endor moon. Duloks roamed the lands surrounding their swamps, raiding Ewok villages and causing trouble for the other sentient races on the moon. Each clan being led by a relatively peaceful shaman who seemed to be the antithesis of the more vicious members of the clan, although some these shamans appeared to have some control over the Dark Side of the Force. Most shamans were regarded as oddities by the rest of the clan. Male Duloks were considered the leaders of their clans, with the females being regarded as nothing more than breeders and babysitters. However, female Duloks were generally more intelligent than males, and had excellent senses of direction. Slavery was common among the Duloks, and the exchange of slaves was considered a form of barter within their society.

This model of pit droid was produced by Serv-O-Droid, from designs that were created by Cyrillian engineers. Standing just over a meter in height, the DUM-series droid was humanoid in shape, but had a wide, dome-shaped head with a single, monocular photoreceptor in the middle that also served as the on/off switch. When not in use, pit droids were designed to collapse into a compact form when hit on the photoreceptor. Another jab at the "nose" would reactivate the small droid. These droids were produced in five colors - yellow, orange, red, blue, and gray - and were known to develop sarcatic personalities. The joints of DUM-series droids were built to withstand incredible torture, allowing the droid to lift more than its own weight. The DUM-series was first introduced more than 130 years before the Battle of Yavin, when Cyrillia hosted a major podracing event.

Dunlan
This man was one of the leaders of the rebel underground that gained prominence on the planet Ahakista, during the months following the Battle of Yavin. It was Dunlan who fired the blast that assassinated Councilman Derral, an act of defiance that earned his rebels the attention of the Imperial forces who had assumed control of the planet. A group of AT-AT walkers were dispatched into the older sections of the capital city, where they randomly destroyed buildings and homes in an effort to deter further insurrection.
In the wake of this event, Dunlan agreed to meet with Sardoth to discuss further action against the Empire. He was introduced to Wyl Tarson and Laynara, and listened to Sardoth's plans to attack and disable The Hub. While he agreed with the plan in general, Dunlan refused to launch the frontal assault that would be required to knock out the power to the Pyramid One facility. Rather than sacrifice his rebels, Dunlan walked out of the meeting. When Fenic, one of his own men, turned on him in order to collect the Imperial bounty on his head, Dunlan believed that the end had come. Instead, Tarson arrived and disabled Fenic, and while he was thankful for being saved, Dunlan still refused to join the mission.
He finally changed his mind when he returned to the rebel's hideout. He was unable to find Astor, but his attempt to find the man was cut short by an Imperial attack led by Darth Vader himself. Vader and his forces mercilessly cut down the rebels, leaving only Dunlan to escape by a back door. He took a rocket launcher and set out to destroy the energy field generator, but was shot by Imperial stormtroopers and injured as he fired his rocket. He was approached by Darth Vader, who simply ignited his lightsaber and stabbed it through Dunlan's chest. Dunlan died knowing that he had done everything he could to help free his homeworld and its people.

Dunn's family had served the monarchy of Gala for many years, and Dunn himself was a valued member of Veda's household. However, those members who served the family had to live in the palace, and rarely saw the rest of the family. Jono himself was proud of his service to the monarchy, and was extremely loyal to Queen Veda. However, when Veda revealed that she wished her successor to be chosen by popular election, Jono figured that he and his family would be thrown out of the castle. His reputation, and that of his family, would be forever that of mere farmers and fishers. He decided to use small amounts of dimilatis leaves to poison her evening tea, in an effort to kill her before the elections could take place. Obi-Wan discovered his part, and revealed it to Qui-Gon. Jono himself was eventually punished and sent home by Wila Prammi, the newly-elected governor of Gala. His sentence was to learn farming and become a normal citizen, not a privileged member of the royal household.

However, before Master Ropal could return, he was killed by Cad Bane. Bane later returned to Rodia, wearing a fake Jedi robe, to take Wee Dunn with him. Mahtee Dunn put up some resistance, forcing Cad Bane to use a hypnogazer to render her unable to stop him. Cad Bane then whisked Wee Dunn away to Mustafar, where Darth Sidious had established a secret testing facility, in the hopes of surgically altering the children to become Dark Side slaves. Before any experiments could take place, however, Wee Dunn and Zinn Toa were rescued from Mustafar by Anakin Skywalker Ahsoka Tano. The secret facility was destroyed, though, and the Jedi were left without any clue as to who had created it.

Dunnage Beads
These small pellets were manufactured for use in shipping goods in cargo crates. Mush items to be shipped didn't fit into a cube or rectangle, so they had to be packed into a cargo crate and protected from breakage. After the items were placed in a cargo crate, dunnage beads could be poured into the crate to cover the item completely. Then, the crate could be sealed and laded onto a starship. Because of their soft but dense construction, dunnage beads could absorb the shock of a sudden jolt, thereby protecting whatever they were packed around.

Like the other members of V-Sword Squadron, Dunter lacked any connection to the Force, and relied on her own innate skills as a pilot to fly her ship in space. However, she had not seen combat action before the Dodonna was dispatched to the Corellian System, in an effort to bully the Corellian leadership into abandoning their plans for secession. In her first engagement, however, Lysa found herself flying against her own father. It was then revealed that the name Lysa Dunter was not her real name, and that she was actually Syal Antilles, the daughter of the celebrated hero, Wedge Antilles. The alias, aqcuired through legal channels on Ralltiir, was used to help her avoid continual comparisons to her famous father, in an effort to earn her own way into the piloting ranks of the Galactic Alliance's navy. She even refused to train on X-Wings, hoping to escape from his shadow. However, when the ruse was discovered by her commanding officers, she was removed from Vibrosword Squadron and threatened with a dishonorable discharge. However, an Intelligence agent who was acquainted with her mother stepped in an gave her the chance to fly an Aleph-class fighter during the defense of the Galactic Alliance's base on Tralus, provided that she legally change her name back to Syal Antilles.

Famous for being the only individual every kicked out of the old Bounty Hunters Guild, Ree Duptom was a bounty hunter as ugly as his reputation. With his ship, the Venesectrix, he scoured the border territories of the galaxy's central section for work. Among his specialties was the dissemination of misinformation, sometimes even working for the Empire, in spreading lies which helped himself and his employer. Several years before the Battle of Yavin, Duptom was hired by Kud'ar Mub'at to perform a job for Nil Posondum, although the two parties had never met. Duptom was to kidnap Kateel of Kuhlvult, erase her memories, and then lose her somewhere in the galaxy. The kidnapping was successful, but the memory Duptom had done was cruel and - ultimately - incomplete. During the final transport of Kateel, Duptom suddenly disappeared. When his ship was discovered by Boba Fett, floating and adrift near the Core, Fett discovered that the Venesectrix had suffered a partial meltdown of its engine's reactor core. The resulting radiation had killed Duptom and caused several damage to the body. However, it left intact the load shifter droid and the only passenger on the ship, Neelah. Fett took both aboard the Slave I and left the Venesectrix in space.

Solo agreed to give her a Gallofree Yards transport vessel to replace the Duracrud, if she helped him uncover information about The Confederation's secret meeting at Gilatter Eight. Lavint agreed, and Alema Rar eventually made off with the Duracrud, taking the ship to Gilatter Eight in the hopes of once more locating the Solos. She arrived early, and was reunited with Lumiya.

However, her father, Reise Durasha, never forwarded her application for entry. He told her that the Academy no place for a woman. He then sent Celia's brothers in their turn, keeping her at home. She ended up attending Baylagon Technical Institute, and was hired by Galaxy Tours shortly after graduation. She served as the navigator of the cruise ship Majestic, and single-handedly saved the ship during a pirate attack. This got her noticed by the company, which promoted her and assigned her as navigator of the Kuari Princess. It was aboard the Princess that she became good friends with Dap Nechel. Known as Crimson to Detien Kaileel, she was disturbed to learn of his allegiance to the Alliance. When he was arrested on the Princess, though, she began to understand his loyalties. She also began to question her own stance when Kaileel's captor turned out to be her childhood love, Adion Lang. She was torn about who to believe when Kaileel revealed the truth about the Empire's involvement in the destruction of Alderaan. She sided with Kaileel, and nearly succeeded in helping him escape. However, they were intercepted by Lang, who shot Kaileel and killed him before he could escape. Celia took the shuttle and fled into the Maelstrom. Years later, she met up with Kaj Nedmak on Oasis after stowing away on his ship, and the two decided to go into the shipping business together. Celia liked his roguish actions, but feared his debts would catch up to him. It was for this reason that she reluctantly went along with his plan to use weapons they were transporting for Bwahl the Hutt to pay of a gambling debt to Rass M'Guy. Her fears proved correct, and they were forced to crashland on Ord Mantell. Celia feared Kaj was dead, and discovered Thune's hideout in the wilderness. Celia was duped by Thune into believing that Treytis Prash was the bounty hunter who captured Kaj, when in reality it was Thune herself. In a harrowing escape, Kaj and Celia enlisted the help of Prash and Thune's droid, U-THR. Celia and Kaj returned to smuggling, this time with U-THR's help. She went by the monicker of Mistress Crimson, and commanded the starship Starlight Red during this time.

Durastar
This starship was part of the small fleet which the Jedi Knights used to move about the galaxy during the early years of the New Republic. Daeshara'cor was to have taken this ship to Bimmisaari, to investigate the Yuuzhan Vong presence on the planet, but she was never listed as being aboard the ship. The Durastar suffered a hyperdrive failure short of Corellia, and all passengers had to be abandoned. Daeshara'cor was not listed among the evacuees.
(DTR)
Durasteel
This strong, durable building material was created from lommite, meleenium, neutronium, and zersium. It was believed that the chestplate and shinguards of Darth Vader's life-support suit were made of durasteel. The Mon Calamari were known to have created woven durasteel, which could be used to plate the hulls of starships. On average, durasteel had a yield stress of about eighty kilograms per centimeter, making it primary component in the construction of everything from building materials to starship superstructures. However, despite its strength, durasteel was relatively light in weight. Note that Darth Bane: Path of Destruction indicates that durasteel sabers were used by the ancient Sith as lightsaber training weapons, since they matched the heft and balance of a ligthsaber. This indicates that the material is exceptionally lightweight.

Durd, Lok
This obese Neimoidian male served as a General in the military forces of the Separatists, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. A noted weapons specialist, Durd was known more for his bluster than for his leadership skills. General Durd was dispatched to the planet Maridun to test out a new weapon he and his scientists had developed. The Separatists believed that Maridun was largely uninhabited, and planned to test their defoliator capsule on its rolling plains. Durd was surprised to find the Lurmen living on Maridun, and although he claimed that they were now protected by the Separatists, he had no qualms about ordering his droid troops to push them aside. Although the first test of the defoliation weapon proved successful in wiping out grasses but leaving droids untouched, Count Dooku demanded to know how the weapon performed against living creatures and more sophisticated life forms. Seizing on the presence of the Lurmen, Durd claimed that he had planned to test the weapon against the all along, and ordered a second test firing. However, he then learned that there were Jedi Knights on the planet, and Anakin Skywalker was able to destroy the defoliator cannon. Once inside the battle droid perimeter, Anakin was able to capture Lok Durd and hold him prisoner.

Du'Re, Ezra
This woman worked as a police officer for the Cularin-based Office of Peace and Security, during the final years of the Old Republic. During a routine investigation into the theft of several pieces of artwork owned by Cham and Nog Teleus, officer Du'Re stumbled upon the plans of the noted Rodian smuggler, Gomalo. In order to cover his tracks, Gomalo had his goons capture officer Du'Re, but the droid MT-D6 managed to escape. MT-D6 managed to enlist the assistance of a group of freelance agents, and they followed the trail of evidence to Thook Lafrell, who had taken Du'Re into custody.
The agents nearly negotiated for her release, but Lafrell refused the deal at the last moment, and tried to fight his way free. The agents managed to subdue him and his Togorian thugs, forcing Lafrell to set Du'Re free. She explained the entire situation to the agents, and they managed to recover most of the artworks that had been stolen from Cham and Nog Teleus. The only piece of art that was still missing was a bas-relief sculpture, which had been recovered by Gomalo. The group discovered the sculpture was actually a map to an interstellar location, and chased Gomalo there.
Once at the nebula indicated by the sculpture, the freelance agents managed to recover the frozen body of Jedi Knight Ji-Ad Sarain, as well as capturing Gomalo and his thugs. Shortly after this series of events, Officer Du'Re was reunited with the freelance agents, when they discovered the Fireclaw Horde's plans to ambush the luxury liner Queen of Cularin.

(SOL)
Durge
This immense Gen'Dai was on of the most notorious bounty hunters of the last decades of the Old Republic. Durge was distinguished by his polished, silver armor, into which he tattooed the symbols of the Mandalorians he had slain. For reasons unknown, Durge held a long-standing grudge against the Mandalorians, and for many years he existed in isolation from the rest of the galaxy.
It was rumored that Durge's hatred of the Mandalorians stemmed from the fact that Jango Fett, and not Durge himself, was chosen to be the template for the clones by Darth Tyranus. It was also believed that Durge was well over 2,000 years old, and his crimson eyes seemed to indicate that he was not human. What was known for sure was that Durge had once worked for the ancient Sith, about 1,000 years before the Battle of Naboo.
In the aftermath of the Battle of Ruusan, Durge went into hiding to avoid any sort of reprisal from the Jedi Knights. Some 900 years later, Durge was hired to kill the leader of the Mandalorian armies, and was instead captured and tortured. He escaped again, and went into hiding to recuperate, vowing to exact revenge on the Mandalorians. Shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, Durge reappeared to discover that the Mandalorians had been all but wiped out. The only successors to their legacy were the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic, which had been created from the genetic material of Jango Fett. Durge decided to join the Separatist movement on principle, and to strike back at the clone troopers.
Durge was one of many bounty hunters hired by Jabba the Hutt to eliminate Gilramos Libkath. Durge and the ten-year-old Boba fett both cornered Libkath in the burned-out hull of a Theed cruiser near Mos Espa, with Durge disabling Libkath with a blaster bolt. Young Boba stole the Neimoidian's miter-like hat and fled the ship, while Durge set out to destroy Libkath. In his wild firing, Durge blasted a crate of weapons, setting off a huge explosion. It was believed that both Durge and Libkath died in the fiery blaze. Durge survived, however, and became Count Dooku's right-hand man after Jango Fett's death, fighting with Asajj Ventress during the Clone Wars.
Nearly a year after the Battle of Geonosis, Durge and Asajj Ventress tried to destroy the planet Naboo by unleashing the chemical weapon known as swamp gas, but were thwarted in their efforts by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. They fled to Queyta at the orders of Count Dooku, to secure the antidote to swamp gas. Five Jedi Masters, including Obi-Wan, arrived on Queyta to recover the antidote. In a series of struggles, Durge killed Masters Jon Antilles and Nico Diath, but was unable to stop Obi-Wan and Master Fay from obtaining the antidote. Once again, Durge and Ventress fled the Jedi and returned to Count Dooku. He was placed in command of the droid armies during the Battle of Muunilinst by San Hill, but was defeated in combat by Obi-Wan Kenobi. It was believed that Durge had been killed in the battle, when his body was destroyed from within by Obi-Wan, but many clone troopers believed that they saw parts of his body moving away from the battlefield. Durge reappeared more than two years later aboard the starship of Drama Korr near Maramere, and vowed to destroy the Jedi as part of an elaborate plan developed by Count Dooku.
In a titanic struggle with Analin Skywalker, Durge was caught in the explosion of a group of mines meant to destroy Skywalker. The resulting damage left Durge unable to fight back against Anakin's use of the Force to push the bounty hunter into an escape pod. Then, Skywalker nudged the escape pod into the nearest star, incinerating the pod and Durge within it.

Duris, G'Mai
This X'Ting was chosen to serve as the Regent and leader of her people during the height of the Clone Wars, at a time when her homeworld of Ord Cestus was under the control of Cestus Cybernetics and the Five Families. This pairing also seemed to be under the control of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. A talented and honest politician, Duris could trace her family's history back to the original hive queen, althoug only tangentially. The main line died out during the plagues that decimated the X'Ting. During the Clone Wars, Duris was in her female stage, and found herself on tenuous ground after deposing the devious Caiza Quill as regent. She assumed a position of leadership after her mate, Filian, was killed by Quill in a form of duel known as "going to the sand". After Filian's death, Duris also learned of the history of her people, and how the eggs for which she served as regent had been hidden in a secure location after the Great Plague. Her role, she learned, was as leader of the Regency, charged with keeping the X'Ting as united as possible until the royal eggs could hatch. She tried to join the mission to recover the royal eggs, but was voted down by the council and by Obi-Wan Kenobi, who had been dispatched to Ord Cestus to discover a way to free the X'Ting. In the end, she allowed Obi-Wan to accompany Jesson Di Blinth on the mission. After the Jedi managed to help secure the eggs, Duris was forced to accede that he was working for the betterment of the Cestians. Thus, when she was challenged for leadership by Caiza Quill, she felt that she was strong enough - and ready enough - to face the challenge. Instead of attacking Quill, however, she stood stoically in the face of his posturing, until Quill could no longer contain his own fear. He conceded his position to her, although he blocked her at every remaining opportunity. With the destruction of the Five Families at their bunker in the Kibo Plateau, Duris found herself entrenched as the true leader of the X'Ting and Ord Cestus. She was able to take immediate control and bring the manufacturing facilities under the guidance of the X'Ting, and vowed to keep Ord Cestus loyal to the Old Republic. She even gave the cave spiders - descendents of the spider people who once ruled the planet - a measure of freedom.

(LJ4)
Duro
This planet, located in the Duro Sector, was the homeworld of the Duro race. It was believed that Han Solo's grandfather, Dalla Suul, was born on Duros.
The Duro race had established a vast starship construction industry, nearly equal to that of Corellia. Thus, the government of the system was made up of a consortium of starship construction corporations, with all necessary political decisions being made by the corporations' stockhoders. This meant that any Duro who owned stock in these companies could participate in the governing of the system.
The planet Duros itself was uninhabited, since the Duros have covered it with automated farms. A large portion of the Duro population, and all off-world visitors, lived in twenty orbiting cities that provided easy access to the starship construction facilities. The planet was later stripped of its natural resources by the Empire and used as a dumping ground, and became so toxic that the Duro who lived there were forced to move into orbiting space stations.
During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Duros High House agreed to place domed cities on the surface of Duro, in order to house the refugees fleeing the aliens. In return, the Senate Select Committee for Refugees (SELCORE) agreed to employ the refugees in activities which would restore the planet's natural environment. Despite the underhanded efforts of CorDuro Shipping and SELCORE, the scientists and refugees began to eliminate the toxins and restore the planet's ecosystem. Despite the assurances of SELCORE and CorDuro Shipping, the Yuuzhan Vong ultimately attacked Duro, hoping to destroy the orbital cities and capture thousands of refugees and Duros as sacrifices. In the batlle, all of the cities were destroyed, with the exception of Urrdorf City.
Duro was left in the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong for many months, before a daring plan to liberate the planet was formulated. General Wedge Antilles took a small task force, reluctantly accepting a Duros-manned squadron, to the Duro System in an effort to draw out the Yuuzahn Vong forces. The plan was to draw in as many Yuuzhan Vong warships as possible by approaching the system but not attacking. Commander Yurf Col, a Duro who wanted his homeworld to be liberated, was angry at the lack of action, and took the Duros forces into battle against Antilles' orders. Col and his forces were easily defeated by the Yuuzhan Vong, but the alien invaders were unprepared for the New Republic's total assault forxce. Eventually, the Yuuzhan Vong were driven out of the Duro System, liberating the planet and returning it to the New Republic.
In the wake of the war against the Yuuzan Vong, it was discovered that Duro's crust contained rich lodes of baradium and cortosis, and several mining operations were established on the planet's surface.

Duro
A humanoid race characterized by their blue skin, red eyes and long, thin faces. There was no nose on their face. They were a calm, peaceful race, and were considered dependable workers and gifted storytellers. Note that the Star Wars Screen Entertainment software package claims that the Duros were reckless in nature.
Their society was formed many millennia before the Galactic Civil War, and was very advanced technologically. Most Duros were interested in space travel, and were employed in one of the many industries that deal in travel between the stars. Those Duros who remained near their homeworld work for one of the many starship construction facilities that orbit the planet Duro. Many of the Duros found off-planet were graduates of the Duro Academy of Deep Space Exploration, and could navigate a hyperspace jump with limited star charting.
The general population of Duros also refused to admit that the Neimoidians were genetic descendants of their race, despite the historical, scientific, and genetic evidence which proved their relationship. During the Galactic Civil War, the Duros were ostensibly loyal to the Empire, although the Empire established observation centers at many starship yards to keep an eye on them.
During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, many Duros felt that the New Republic was too lax in its defense against the alien invaders, and several Duros claimed that the galaxy would have been better prepared to defend itself if Emperor Palpatine had still been in power.
It was believed that there were at leats two sub-species of Duros, one with longer fingers than the other, although many attributed this to simple mutations rather than the identification of a new race.

Durron, Kyp
A native of Deyer, Kyp was taken prisoner by the Empire when his parents were arrested for speaking out against the destruction of Alderaan. An eight-year-old Kyp and his parents were shipped off to Kessel and forced to work the spice mines, while his brother Zeth was conscripted and sent to Carida. On Kessel, Kyp's parents were killed by inmates during the riots that occurred after the Battle of Endor, and Kyp was orphaned for many years. It was during this time that he met Vima-Da-Boda, who taught the young man about the nature of the Force.
When Han Solo and Chewbacca were shot down over Kessel and forced to work the mines, Kyp became friends with Han. Together they managed to escape the mines, ending Kyp's eight years of captivity on Kessel, only to find themselves imprisoned at the Maw Installation. Note that Dark Apprentice indicates that Kyp was eighteen when he was freed from Kessel, making his imprisonment ten years in length. They were able to steal the Sun Crusher and escape from the Maw, shortly before Kyp was to be executed, and they returned to Coruscant with the super weapon.
Kyp was asked by Luke Skywalker to join his new Jedi praxeum, after Han revealed that he was quite sensitive to the Force. Kyp agreed, and began training on Yavin 4 after a short vacation with Han. Following Gantoris' death, Exar Kun's spirit recognized the power of Kyp's anger toward the former Empire, and subtly manipulated the youth by showing Kyp the power of the Dark Side. Although he understood the need to be vigilant about turning to the Dark Side of the Force, Kyp believed that the powers could be used against the Empire. Kun's spirit did nothing to alter this perception, and eventually assisted Kyp in retrieving the Sun Crusher from Yavin's gas core.
By gently massaging Kyp's hatred of the Empire, Exar Kun allowed Kyp to draw on his power in an effort to destroying Imperial worlds. Kyp fell so far into Kun's embrace that claimed himself to be a new Dark Lord of the Sith. In his haste to exact revenge against the Empire, however, Kyp destroyed the planet Carida and its entire star system before realizing that his brother, Zeth, was still on the planet. The death of Zeth forced Kyp to re-evaluate his actions, and it was during this time that Han managed to catch up with him. Han then convinced the young man to return to Yavin 4, where Luke worked with Kyp to return him to the true nature of the Force.
As his powers grew, Kyp became a respected member of the Jedi Knights. He befriended Dorsk 82 when the young alien traveled to Yavin 4 for training, and the pair were dispatched to Corbos when the miners there unearthed an ancient creature. Kyp managed to defeat a small Leviathan, but the creature's death awakened an even larger one. The combined efforts of Kyp, Dorsk 82, Kirana Ti, and Streen managed to defeat it.
He soon became one of Skywalker's new Jedi Masters, but began to question Skywalker's training methods and philosophy. Kyp believed the Jedi were above the common being, and could roam the galaxy and dispense justice as they saw fit. He continued this philosophy with his first student, Miko Reglia, when the formed the Dozen-and-Two Avengers. However, the Avengers were unprepared for the onslaught of the Yuuzhan Vong, and the small squadron was nearly destroyed at Helska. Only Kyp remained, and he vowed to exact a suitable retribution on the alien invaders.
In this endeavor, Kyp found himself again at odds with Master Skywalker, who refused to condone Kyp's vigilante plans. Kyp set out again on his own, forming Kyp's Dozen. They tried to rescue Wurth Skidder from the Yuuzhan Vong clustership Creche', but arrived too later to save him. Kyp destroyed the immature yammosk which was controlling the ship, leaving it for dead in orbit around Fondor. Shortly after the Battle of Duro, Kyp approached Jaina Solo to become his student, after Mara Jade Skywalker became pregnant. Jaina said she would consider the offer, but distanced herself from Kyp after he misled her - and Rogue Squadron - on the nature of the shipwomb that had been growing near Sernpidal. Despite his obviously personal agenda, Kyp was sought out by the New Republic's commanders as a source of information about the alien invaders, and was appointed to the High Council that advised the Chief of State on Jedi activities.
During the final stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, after the living planet Zonama Sekot agreed to help bring about an end to the conflict, Kyp was one of several Jedi Knights were bonded to seed-partners and provided with Sekotan starships. During the final battle for Coruscant, Kyp also realized that those Jedi who had acquired seed-partners were also those who had suffered terrible loss or tragedy, such as his destruction of the planet Carida.
Years later, during the conflict with the Colony, Kyp was one of the many Jedi who pledged their full support to Master Skywalker's new Jedi order, despite the continued strife between the various Jedi Masters. He was forced to accept Luke's assupmtion of the role of Grand Master of the Jedi, recognizing that Luke was only acting in the best interests of the galaxy and the Force. After the resolution of the Swarm War, Master Durron became one of the new Jedi Order's leaders, although he often chose to play the role of contrarian in many discussions, hoping to stimulate new ideas. His ability to float contrary ideas nearly got him into trouble, some three years after the Swarm War, when Cal Omas and Cha Niathal tried to enlist his support in a plan to promote Jacen Solo to Jedi Master.
Citing inside sources that indicated she had contacts on the Jedi Council, Admiral Niathal explained that she knew Kyp had suggested Jacen's promotion at an earlier meeting. Thinking quickly, Kyp explained that he was acting as the taras-chi, floating contrary ideas to pare away the bad ones. Unknown to most everyone in the room, the taras-chi was actually just an insect that was native to Kessel. However, Kyp was able to deflect the discussion of Jacen's promotion until the Jedi Council could perform its own readiness evaluation.
As the war against The Confederation ground on, Kyp agreed to take command of the Shadow Saber Squadron of starfighters, during the Galactic Alliance's defense of Kuat. In the wake of the murder of Mara Jade Skywalker, Kyp feared that the Jedi Order was losing its direction, as Grand Master Luke Skywalker retreated into his own grief. While Kyp was glad to help plan a mission to capture or eliminate Jacen Solo, he was dismayed with Luke refused to lead the mission. Kyp had hoped that, by taking the leadership position, Master Skywalker would show the rest of the Jedi Order that he was once again the Order's true leader. Luke refused, and chose Kyle Katarn to lead the mission, with Kyp and Corran Horn as the other Masters. Although they failed to capture Jacen, Seha Dorvald was able to place a tracking sensor on Jacen's cape, allowing the Jedi to monitor his movements until it was discovered.
In the wake of Sadras Koyan's attempt to use the Centerpoint Station repulsor as a long-range weapon, Kyp was named to lead a Jedi assault mission to disable the station. He piloted the troop shuttle Broadside, posing with Valin Horn and Jaden Korr as Galactic Alliance Guard soldiers. When the Jedi Order broke off its support of the Galactic Alliance, Kyp was among the many Jedi who established a secret base on the Forest Moon of Endor, and later moved the order to a more permanent base on Shedu Maad. However, when Jacen - now calling himself Darth Caedus - discovered the base's location, the Jedi were finally forced to make a stand against him. During the battle that followed, Kyp assumed the role of commando, and boarded the Millennium Falcon during the later stages of the fighting. Han and Leia Solo piloted the ship past the defenses of the Anakin Solo, allowing Kyp and the other Jedi Masters to board the Star Destroyer and eliminate any further resistance.
After Darth Caedus was defeated, Kyp and the rest of the Jedi Order relocated their base to Coruscant, as Grand Master Skywalker tried to assist with the reunification of the galaxy. However, when Luke was charged with all manner of crimes stemming from Jacen Solo's actions, he was forced to stop serving as Grand Master and accept a ten-year exile. This ensured that the rest of the Jedi did not have to worry about similar charges, although Kyp noted during Luke's farewell gathering that Luke never officially resigned as Grand Master. Kenth Hamner was appointed to serve as the leader of the Order until Luke returned, and agreed to allow a video documentary team to travel with a Jedi Master, hoping that the documentary would improve the public image of the Jedi Knights. Master Octa Ramis agreed to be the subject of the documentary, and Kyp agreed to serve as a technical consultant, to ensure that the actions of a Jedi Master and their use of the Force was shown in the appropriate context.

Durron, Zeth
This young man was the older brother of Kyp Durron. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Zeth was sent to the Imperial training center on Carida, when his parents were arrested by the Empire for speaking out against the destruction of Alderaan. The rest of his family were shipped off to the Spice Mines of Kessel, where only Kyp managed to survive. Just fourteen, Zeth taken to Carida to be trained as a stormrtooper, and he ultimately he became an undistiguished soldier. He languished on Carida for many years after the Battle of Endor, until Kyp was rescued by Han Solo. Kyp spent a brief time at Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, where he was corrupted by the spirit of Exar Kun. Kun tricked Kyp into stealing the Sun Crusher and using it to destroy the Empire, and Kyp decided to strike back by destroying Carida. However, before firing the weapons of the Sun Crusher, Kyp demanded that Zeth be freed. In order to stall, the officers working for Ambassador Furgan claimed that Zeth had died while training on the winter survival tour. Seeing this as further evidence of the Empire's treachery, Kyp fired a resonance torpedo into the Caridan star. Realizing that they had made a mistake, the Imperials struggled to find Zeth's location in an effort to placate Kyp. Although Zeck was eventually found, it was too late to stop the explosion of the Caridan star. Kyp returned to Carida and tried rescue his brother, but Zeth was accompanied by the Imperials who tried to escape with him. He was forced to shoot and kill Lieutenant Dauren, but Kyp was unable to reach them before the first wave of energy struck Carida. Zeth was incinerated as a massive wall of energy scoured the planet, forcing Kyp to flee in order to survive. Weeks later, Kyp was forced to confront the memory of his brother, after he returned to Yavin 4 to return to his Jedi training. Kyp encountered Zeth's spirit in Exar Kun's temple, but Zeth explained to Kyp that he needed to follow the light path to the Force and keep his memory strong.

A human colonist living on Ingo, Jord was a rebel and a troublemaker. During his teenage years, early in the New Order, he was also a fairly accomplished landspeeder racer. He worked for Thall Joben, who was his best friend, as his personal mechanic. Sometime after the end of the Clone Wars, the two youths salvaged a pair of droids from the local junkyard. The droids, known as C-3PO and R2-D2, had been jettisoned by an escaping smuggler. The pair took the droids and repaired them, and put them to use in their garage.
Jord longed to race the speeder he and Thall had built, the White Witch, in the Boonta Speeder Race, but an injury kept him out of the cockpit. Thall took his place and won the race, despite the illegal actions of Boba Fett. Jord and Thall, along with Kea Moll, later accepted positions within Zebulon Dak's corporation, but were told that they could not bring the droids. The trio had decided to turn down Dak's offer, having come to appreciate the droids, but R2-D2 and C-3PO would not allow them to miss the opportunity. The droids jettisoned themselves in an escape pod, leaving the humans free to take the job.

Dust
This microscopic material was developed by the scientists of the Old Republic as a way to monitor individuals without attracting attention. It was named for its resemblance to fine particles of dust, despite the fact that each particle was essentially a micro-transmitter that relayed information on its location to a central receiver. By imbedding the Dust in clothing or having a target inhale it, a Republic agent could track a target for one or more days, recording their every movement within a given area. Although it was originally designed for use by the Grand Army of the Republic for monitoring combatant positions on the battlefield, it found a more widespread use among the soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade. These agents used it to track terrorists and other individuals who were fighting against the Old Republic in less overt ways.

Dust
This bounty hunter, whose physical form was quite human, but was hidden behind close-fitting body armor, was hired by Raze to locate the beings who kidnapped Princess Mi of Orocco, about a year before the Battle of Hoth. Few beings ever saw Dust's real face, which was hidden behind a sloping helmet that gave his head an insectile appearance. Dust was a blue-skinned humanoid with one blind eye, but his armor and helmet prevented his enemies from seeing his true identity. Dust managed to track the Millennium Falcon to the planet Cataalda, and surprised Han Solo and Leia Organa by ambushing them. The two rebels had discovered Princess Mi inside a fuel container they were transporting to Raltac III, and had found themselves mixed up in the schemes of Grintlok and his gang. On Cataalda, Dust waited for the group to leave the hidden Alliance base on the planet, then ambushed them as they were confronted by Tookra and his droid, who had also been searching for Solo. In the confusion, Dust was able to grab Princess Mi, and would have made off with her if Princess Leia had not acted quickly and leaped onto Dust's speederbike. Dust was not deterred by Leia's boldness, and simply punched her in the jaw to knock her unconscious. He then brought both women back to his ship, where he realized that the woman who had jumped him was none other than Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan. With two princesses under his control, Dust believed that he could claim two bounties for the cost of one mission. When asked how he had found them on Cataalda, Dust revealed that King Arturo had placed a homing beacon inside Princess Mi's shoes. In a desparate attempt to bargain for their lives, Princess Leia offered Dust the codes that would unlock the data stored in the data stick she wore around her neck. The data, she explained, contained the Imperial shipping codes used by the Empire's fleet to move along secret hyperspace supply lines. Dust countered the offer by taking the data stick and giving them a one-hour head start on their escape, and Leia quickly took the deal, knowing that the data stick actually contained Gungan recipes. Before they could flee, though, Dust tried to renege on the deal. As he emerged from his ship, he was confronted by Han Solo, but then both beings found themselves being attacked by the bodyguard droid K1L-R. The droid fired at Solo, but the blast went wide and struck Dust's ship, rendering it unsuitable for flight. Dust turned his anger on the droid, using a knife hidden in his armor to severe its head from its body. This gave Solo and his friends a chance to escape, leaving Dust stranded on Cataalda.

When Rango Tel later claimed the bounty on her father's killer, Aneesa volunteered her services as pilot to the bounty hunter, having fallen in love with him. Their first mission together took them to Tatooine, where they had planned to claim the bounty on Kam Nale, who was on the desert world to participate in the Boonta Eve Classic. In the confusion surrounding the event, which was won by nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker, Darth Maul believed that the Dusty Duck was the ship that contained the Jedi Knights he was searching for. Maul entered the ship and killed Aneesa when she could not provide him with the Jedi. The Dusty Duck was then abandoned outside Mos Espa, where it was rebuilt by a group of pit droids. However, no one claimed the vessel, and it was eventually consumed by the desert.

Once safely on the ground at the Senate Annex, Duurmun hoped that the Senators who greeted them would be nice enough to turn over the Stellar Envoy as payment for their services. However, Senators Des'sain and Largetto asked them to deliver the ship to an Antarian Ranger on Toprawa. They would know that they had the right being, a woman named Folee, when she responsed to the code phrase "Restore Republic honor to the galaxy."
Reeze and Jadak were briefly detained on Coruscant while Jedi Master J'oopi She' made small modifications to the Stellar Envoy, and were unprepared when a group of shock troopers and Senate Security Force officers arrived to prevent them from lifting off. Without any preamble, Jadak had the ship readied for takeoff, and they blasted out of the Senate Annex before they could be captured. Their escape route to Toprawa was blocked, so thet decided to try and reach Nar Shaddaa. However, the Stellar Envoy suffered damage during their flight from Coruscant, and power to key systems failed as soon as they reverted to realspace. Unable to prevent the ship from crashing into the Jendirian Valley Three, Reeze and Jadak abandoned ship in an escape pod. Unfortunately, the Stellar Envoy rolled as the escape pod was ejected, and the pod was smashed against the freighter's hull. Reeze was killed almost instantly in the resulting explosion.

Duuvhal
This dog-sized reptile was native to the planet Yashuvhu. Despite being reptilian, the duuvhal was warm-blooded and was covered with emerald-green feathers. The bite of a duuvhal injected its prey with a toxic venom which was deadly to humans. However, the duuvhal rarely attacked anything larger than itself, even in self-defense. The human population of Yashuvhu often trained duuvhals to serve as pets and watchbeasts, and even taught their duuvhals to bite on command.

This grizzled old man was an instructor at the Coruscant Medical Hospital during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. A native of the planet Alderaan, Leig was known for the way he always seemed to smile when he talked to his students. There was one point in his life when Leig considered suicide. His father had died, his mother was in the hospital, and his sister had been lost on a frontier expedition. He could see no reason to live, and left the hospital to contemplate his demise. While he was walking home, a man on the street came up to him and thanked Leig for saving his life. Leig thought that the man had been a patient, but the man explained that he had been outside the hospital one morning. He also had been contemplating suicide, but Leig had smiled at him when he walked into work. The man explained that he had given himself an escape clause to his suicide plan: if any being were to smile at him, he would back out. The man had accepted Leig's smile as a sign, and chose to continue his life. Leig often used this story with his students, in an effort to explain to them that even the smallest of actions could save a being's life.

D-V9
This silver-plated humanoid droid was Hoole's research assistant. Equipped with an OmniTask brain, Deevee faithfully tagged along when Hoole and the Arranda children got into trouble with the Empire. He successfully negotiated with Meego for the purchase of the Shroud, then used the data in the ship's computer memory to create an anti-serum which negated the effects of Doctor Evazan's reanimation serum. This saved the planet of Necropolis from the assault of Evazan's zombie army, and freed his human friends from Evazan's schemes. After encountering the Nightmare Machine on Nespis 8, D-V9 took a blaster bolt meant for Tash Arranda. D-V9 then became something of a tutor for Tash and her brother, Zak, providing them with educational missions to ensure that they were learning while they traveled with their uncle. On the planet Lorrd, it was D-V9 who recognized that the Slave Pits of Lorrd were similar in many respects to radio telescopes that were built into the ground. However, the droid could not discern whether or not this was merely a coincidence, or an actual fact. After surviving all these misadventures, Deevee decided that he had had enough. After some grueling repairs, Deevee retired to work at a Galactic Research Facility on Koaan. Hoole manumitted D-V9, allowing him free access to the facility.

D'vouran
This strange planet was bioengineered by Borborygmus Gog for the Empire as part of Project Starscream. D'vouran appeared to be a normal, temperate world with rollin ghills, dense forests, and salty oceans. It had a breathable atmosphere, and Gog had it peopled with the enigmatic Enzeen race. It was discovered when the Misanthrope crashed into it and sent out a distress call. The accident was quickly covered up, although the planet was rumored to be the richest and most beautiful planet within 1,000 light-years, rumors which helped fuel its tourist trade. The tourists to the planet often had trouble finding it, since the planet seemed to move about on its own, and had no native system. In reality, the planet was somewhat symbiont with the Enzeen, a relationship engineered by Gog in an attempt to create life. The Enzeen were outwardly friendly, which allowed them to draw visitors into the forests. There, the planet would open itself up and swallow the visitors, bringing them to the Heart of D'vouran and deriving sustenance from their bodies. In return, the Enzeen were allowed to siphon off a small portion of D'vouran's life-force for their own sustenance. Eventually, the planet outgrew its creators, consuming the scientists who remained on the planet and breaking free of their control. It traveled like this until Mammon Hoole caught up to it. In fury, the planet tried to consume Hoole's ship as it fled, but only consumed itself in a spasm of rage. It suddenly reappeared, seveal light-years away, shortly afterward.

D'Vox
This Imperial officer served as the Commander of the Bannistar Station facility, during the months following the Battle of Yavin. When he learned that the Rebel One had made its way into the queue of ships that were lining up for refueling, D'Vox ordered the ship's captain to move it out of line for boarding. This played into the plans of Tungo LI, who planned to initiate the ship's self-destruct mechanism in order to destroy any nearby Imperial ships and divert attention from the rebel mission to destroy Bannistar Station. D'Vox, however, had discovered that Princess Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker were aboard the Rebel One, and allowed their infiltration mission to continue undeterred. He hoped that his troops would be able to capture the rebel leaders, giving him the opportunity to present them to the Emperor and earn a promotion to a better location. His troops managed to apprehend or kill most of the rebel strike team, including Skywalker and Organa, but Deena Shan remained at large. After Shan managed to defeat Rishyk and set off a series of explosions that destroyed the Certainty and much of Bannistar Station, D'vox found himself a prisoner of the rebels. With the tables turned, D'vox refused to be a prisoner of war. He tried to shoot his captors, but Luke Skywalker drew his lightsaber and sliced off his right hand. At Skywalker's order, D'vox was left behind to survive as best he could while the station exploded around him. With his what might have been his dying breaths, D'vox vowed to make the rebels pay for the loss of Bannistar Station.

Dwarf Spider Droid
Developed by the Commerce Guild, the DSD1 dwarf spider droid was used to infiltrate enemy lines and provide intelligence back to a homing spider droid. Sometimes called burrowing spider droids, these combat automata were armed with a laser cannon and move into underground mines and caves to reach their targets. A suite of infrared photoreceptors allowed the spider droid to locate its target, and a single laser cannon gave the dwarf spider droid a minimum of offensive capability. One idiosyncracy of their programming was that, although they were loyal to their owners, DSD1 droids were sometimes unwilling to enter a combat zone. With the end of the Clone Wars, all dwarf spider droids were issued orders to deactivate, as part of Darth Sidious' plan to consolidate military power and ensure the loyalty of his troops.

This small, reddish-brown beetle was developed by the Yuuzhan Vong as an environmental weapon. The Yuuzhan Vong used swarms of dweebits to destroy the ExGal-4 outpost on Belkadan, providing cover for their landing on Helska and their invasion of the known galaxy. Groups of dweebits lived in the root systems of the plants of Belkadan, exuding a chemical mix of excrement into the soil. As the plants received nourishment from the soil, they "exhaled" a noxious mix of gases into the atmosphere.Since the dweebits were prolific breeders, they eventually established huge underground populations. As they multiplied, they affected virtually every form of plant life on the planet, fouling the air of Belkadan at an ever-increasing rate. The noxious atmosphere eventually began generating intense storms and rendering the planet a toxic wasteland.

This man served the Old Republic as a Captain in the Intelligence agency, during the height of the Clone Wars. Captain Dyne was placed at the disposal of Jedi Master Mace Windu during the search for Darth Sidious, after the mechno-chair of Nute Gunray proved the existence of the Dark Lord of the Sith. Dyne worked with a group of clone troopers and commandos who were led by Captain Valiant, and took up the investigation after the mechno-chair was returned to Coruscant. Republic cryptologists were able to finally decipher the encryption used by the high-ranking members of the Confederacy of Independenr Systems, which allowed Dyne and his team to intercept and understand several transmissions that were sent to Gunray via the mechno-chair's holonet transceiver. Among the transmissions was General Grievous' orders to hide the Confederacy's leaders on Belderone. Other information gathered from the mechno-chair, along with information discovered by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi during their search for Gunray, led them to a seemingly abandoned warehouse in the The Works of Coruscant. There, they discovered evidence of Count Dooku's meetings with Sidious, as well as secret passageways that linked the Senate Rotunda and 500 Republica to the warehouse. Their investigation nearly exposed the true identity of Darth Sidious, but was cut short when General Grievous attacked Coruscant. In the midst of the battle, Dyne was able to penetrate the deepest parts of Sidious' lair, only to be killed just as the penetrated the facility. Sidious had been prepared for being discovered, and unleashed a Force-assisted blast when they entered the facility. Dyne and the members of Aurek Team were thrown violently against a wall, their bones and insides crushed into pulp. As Dyne lay dying, we was able to get a glimpse of Sidious himself, and instantly recognized him as Chancellor Palpatine. Unfortunately, Dyne died knowing that he was the only being who know of Sidious's true nature.

Unfortunately, a group of Separatist battle droids located their group, and Dyre was killed in the ensuing firefight.
(SM1)
Dyre, Rohlan
This Mandalorian shock trooper led the initial assault on the planet Vanquo, near the end of the Mandalorian War, some 3,964 years before the Galactic Civil War. Rohlan and his troops discovered Zayne Carrick and his band of fugitives in the wilderness, but when his men proved too inept to capture Carrick and his companions, Rohlan ordered them to steal the Last Resort and strand Carrick on Vanquo. Rohlan then commandeered the transport and abandoned his men, then set out to rescue Zayne and his companions.
Once they were all aboard, Rohlan was attacked by the Camper, who demanded that Rohlan explain where Jarael had been taken. When he didn't provide a suitable answer, Rohlan was locked away in a cargo crate until Zayne and Marn Hierogryph could figure out what to do with him.
When they decided to rescue Jarael, they let Rohlan out of the crate in the hope of having him take them to Mandalorian space. It was then that Rohlan revealed his true self, a true Mando'ad who fought in the wars, but could find no reason behind the fighting. His searches always led to dead ends, as his superiors refused to answer his questions. Like a true Mandalorian, he always answered the call to duty, but one day he found himself simply not answering the call. Six times he refused to enter battle, always searching for answers, and six times he was hunted down and returned to the fighting.
After Vanquo, however, Rohlan felt that something was different, prompting him to steal the Last Resort and find out what it was. His initial thought was to find the Jedi and return to Coruscant with them. Thus, he agreed to help the fugitives reach the Flashpoint Station research facility, bluffing his way past the security guards by placing Hierogryph and the Camper in a cargo crate and claiming that Zayne was his captive. He then stowed away aboard the Last Resort inside a Camper Special crate, choosing not to follow the Jedi back to Coruscant.
After hearing a struggle and blaster fire, Rohlan decided to come out of hiding, only to find The Camper and Jarael confronted by the assassin droid HK-24. Rohlan's blaster made quick work of the droid, but forced him to explain his presense to the Arkanians. He agreed to help Jarael nurse The Camper back to health, as they moved through hyperspace in search of a quiet place to stop. It was while he was helping The Camper that Rohlan revealed he had been a medical student on his homeworld, before joining the Mandalorians.
When Jarael directed them to Arkania, in an effort to get medical attention for The Camper, Rohlan found himself a prisoner in the Adascorp vessel Arkanian Legacy. Lord Arkoh Adasca kept him prisoner until he could restore The Camper's memories and force the old man to complete his final project. Adasca later revealed that the rest of the Mandalorians had started calling him Rohlan the Questioner, for his constant questioning of Mandalorian doctrine. Rather than keeping Rohlan in his cell, however, Lord Adasca allowed him to roam the ship's facilities with an escort. Rohlan spent much of his time in the medical center, where he learned that The Camper was not actually suffering from Balinquar's Virus.
Adasca then confronted him with a deal: send a message to the Mandalore himself, in exchange for his freedom and that of Jarael. When Rohlan learned that the message was an invitation to view Adascorp's exogorths, he found that he had no choice by to comply with Adasca's plans. He served as Adasca's ambassador to the Mandalorians, and was surprised then the Mandalore had spun his own story of Rohlan's actions. According to the story provided by the Mandalore, Rohlan had died at Flashpoint, giving his life to save his fellow troopers. To perpetuate this story, the Mandalore asked Rohlan to stop wearing his usual battle armor and don that of a Neo-Crusader. Rohlan initially agreed, and excused himself to change.
When he ran into Zayne Carrick and Carth Onasi, who were working on a plan to disrupt the negotiations with Lucien Draay, he agreed to turn the new armor over to Zayne, who would pose as Rohlan while Rohlan and Onasi staged a diversion among the assembled beings. The chaos that followed aboard the Arkanian Legacy was increased when The Camper commanded the exogorths to attack the huge ship. The Camper then took the exogorths and fled into hyperspace, hoping to eliminate their threat to the galaxy. Rohlan and the others then returned to Taris, where Zayne hoped to locate Marn Hierogryph. At Taris, however, Rohlan and the others were surprised when Zayne and Marn left the planet aboard the Mar'eyce. The group managed to track Zayne and Marn to Jebble, and arrived just in time to rescue them from the assembled rakghouls that had been created by Celeste Morne. As they blasted away from the planet, they witnessed Cassus Fett's brutal attack on Jebble, which destroyed the rakghoul hordes and rendered the planet a frozen wasteland.
Rohlan then spent several weeks on his own, trying to settle on a course for his life. He eventually rejoined Zayne, Marn, and Jarael when they attempted to scam the Metellos Exchange. Rohlan posed as a native of the planet Italbos who had been brought to Metellos 3 by Captain Brackel, to demand that the natives of Italbos be given the chance to buy back their planet, or reap the profits of their own auction. The group might have carried off the scam if Marn had not been recognized by Nunk Plaarvin, the criminal mastermind behind the Metellos Exchange. Plaarvin's security guards managed to capture Jarael and Rohlan, although Marn was saved by the timely reappearance of Zayne Carrick. Jarael and Rohlan were taken to a solar observatory that had been modified to serve as an execution chamber. When the sun rose, its light was focused on their location inside the observatory, where it would literally cook them alive. Rohlan asked Jarael to draw upper her inner strength to find a way to get them free, and she drew upon the power of the Force to break the chains that bound them. The escaped just as the sun was rising, and learned that Zayne, Marn, and Slyssk had tricked Nunk Plaarvin into abandoning the Metellos Exchange.
They left Metellos 3 and quickly encountered the Chancellor Fillorean, which had been reported missing for weeks. They discovered that the rogue Sith adept, Toki Tollivar, had killed the ship's crew and passengers. When the Bimm then tried to kill Slyssk and Jarael, Zayne and Rohlan were able to kill Tollivar before he could do any real damage. However, Slyssk seemed to have lost all of his confidence, and Jarael retreated into herself, not wanted to acknowledge her connection to the Force. When they put down on the space station known as Jervo's World, Rohlan was once again forced to remain on their ship, the Hot Prospect, because he refused to remove his Mandalorian armor. Thus, when he tried to sneak out and see where his friends were, Rohlan was quickly captured by the station's security team. Marn managed to convince the security agents that Rohlan was not a real Mandalorian, but a contestant who hoped to use the unique armor as a way to distinguish himself in a swoopdueling event. Rohlan was forced to accept this new role, entering the Tandem Open under the nickname Spikes.

Dyrla
This young girl and her older brother, Taan, lived with their father on Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. Their mother had been killed aboard a transport by the Thaereian Military, and the family came to hate the Thaereians as much as any Cularin natives. Thus, when the Cularin Militia was able to defeat the Thaereians and restore freedom to the Cularin System, Dyrla and Taan were among the thousands who lined the streets of their home city to witness a parade honoring the heroes of the Thaereian Conflict. Unlike her father and brother, seven-year-old Dylra adored Osten Dal'Nay. She was also something of a prodigy with electronic devices, and her abilities made both Taan and her father proud.

Dyshkava, Byrch
This former Jedi Padawan was headstrong and proud, traits that worried his Master. In order to teach Dyshkava a lesson about patience, his Master dispatched Dyshkava to moderate the negotiations at an importance conference, many years before the Battle of Naboo. When a group of terrorists attacked the conference and took hostages, Dyshkava found himseld cut off from his Master. Instead of thinking the situation through, he drew on the power of the Dark Side of the Force and began stalking the terrorists. Within a day, Dyshkava had managed to strangle all the terrorists with the Force, never endangering the hostages. This didn't sit well with the Jedi Council, however, and Dyshkava was forced to flee into the Outer Rim. He spent many years hiding from the rest of the galaxy, avoiding contact with the Jedi at all costs. In order to survive, he began ambushing supply ships owned by Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies, and eventually made his way to Lamaredd. There, he was known as The Padawan, and his activities eventually earned him the ire of Chief of Security Ertine. A mission to capture Dyshkava failed badly, and the sole survivor of the mission - Mix Liddell - was named the new Chief. Liddell was able to lure Dyshkava out of hiding and captured him, but Dyshkava managed to escape. He was never seen again, and was believed to have fled Lamaredd as soon as he was free. However, the Padawan never actually left Lamaredd, and eked out a humble living in Bartyn's Landing under a series of disguises. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, the dying, 104-year-old Dyshkava came out of hiding to end his life in a slugthrower duel. He accosted a group of newly-arrived freelancers, and challenged them to a duel. After being shot, Dyshkava's true identity was revealed to Liddell, and he told of his years of imprisonment at the hands of the Menahuun.

Dyur, Byalfin
This Bothan male was hired by Lumiya to track Ben Skywalker, when the young Jedi trainee was sent to recover the Amulet of Kalara, during the Corellia-GA War. Dyur and his crew traveled the galaxy as pirates in their starship, the Boneyard Rendezvous, although the ship's transponder often provided a different name.
Distinguished by his bronze fur and thin body, Dyur and his kept tabs on Skywalker's movements and relayed them back to Lumiya. Skywalker later discovered that it had been Dyur who stolen the Amulet from the Tendrando Arms facility. He then passed it to a man named Faskus, who was hired to carry it to Ziost and place it a specific cave. On Ziost, Dyur relayed the information that Faskus had died, and that Skywalker had taken in his young daughter, Kiara. Lumiya ordered Dyur and his men to kill them both, before anything else could complicate her plans.

DZ-70
This was the model number of one of Arakyd's DZ-series of fugitive tracker droids. Similar in shape to the IT-series of interrogation droids, the DZ-70 was a repulsor-equipped sphere. It was programmed to single-mindedly track its target, regardless of environment, population, or physical obstacles,and was given a wide variety of sensor mechanisms to monitor a target's progress. A group of manipulator arms - borrowed by the Viper probe droids - hung below the DZ-70's body, and the droid was armed with a stun blaster and a laser cannon. The only drawback to the DZ-70 was it high maintenance. Many of these droids were placed aboard the Eye of Palpatine, and remained hidden until that ship became operational.

Dza'tey, Girov
This Bothan was the leader of the group which sabotaged the Starfaring, in order to land the ship on the planet Malrev. He claimed to be part of the tourist group which was aboard the ship, and that the ship's Captain and chief engineers were the first to be killed in attacks by the Irrukiine, when Rogue Squadron was dispatched to locate the ship. In reality, Girov was a master of Jeswandi, and killed the ship's Captain in order to take control of the situation.
When several members of Girov's group attacked Nrin Vakil, the Rogue Squadron member discovered that the Bothans were extremely good at hand-to-hand combat - skills not normally found in a group of shipwrecked tourists. When Dllr Nep tried to defeat Cartariun by turning the Dark Side energy back on the Devaronian, Girov arrived and shot Dlrr in the back. He then turned Cartariun's magic against him, killing Cartariun and assuming his role as a Darksider. His reign lasted only a few moments, however, as Dllr made contact with Herian I'ngre, who crashed an X-Wing into the temple, killing all of them in the resulting explosion.

Dzym
This droch, a native of the planet Nam Chorios, was nothing more than an unremarkable member of his species before Zubindi Ebsuk tried to artificially grow drochs larger in order to please Beldorian the Hutt. The droch race already had some latent sentience, and Zubindi's chemical and genetic manipulations brought out a high level of intelligence in Dzym. For 250 years, Dzym grew strong and powerful, initially using physical contact to drain the lifeforce out of people before learning how to use other drochs to do the work for him. Realizing that he couldn't storm the galaxy without a fight, Dzym attempted to enslave members of the Chorian population in order to meet his needs. Beldorian the Hutt was his first choice, but the Hutt proved to be too weak. When Seti Ashgad was imprisoned on Nam Chorios, Dzym quickly stepped in and took control. Using the Force in a crude fashion, Dzym fashioned himself a human appearance and posed as Ashgad's secretary. Dzym used the human to incite the more recent inhabitants of Nam Chorios to revolt against the Oldtimers, especially the Therans, and eventually was able to make contact outside the system. Using Ashgad as his mouthpiece, Dzym forged an alliance with Loronar Corporation, providing Spook crystals in return for weapons and political backing. The true goal was for Dzym to get off-planet and spread the Death Seed. As Loronar began developing CCIR technology, Dzym continued to wield his influence. When Ashgad seemed to be beyond his years, Dzym began providing his with added lifeforce, and they devised a story that Seti Ashgad had a son to explain the human's rejuvenated appearance. The droch then realized, with the fall of the Empire and the rise of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa-Solo, that his time had come. He used Ashgad to lure Leia to Nam Chorios, where he hoped to detain her long enough for the New Republic's Provisional Council to squabble about her successor. In the meantime, Loronar began producign Needles and synthdroids, and provided Dzym with enough firepower to engage the Republic fleet. Using his subservient drochs, Dzym infected the New Republic's fleet by tarnsporting them on Ashgad's body, while creating panic and rebellion on worlds throughout the Meridian Sector. The droch's plan would have worked except for Leia's escape from captivity and the presence of Luke Skywlaker on Nam Chorios. Together, the discovered Dzym's plots and exposed them to the natives of the planet. Dzym and Ashgad tried to flee the planet and start their war on their own, but they were destroyed when Luke managed to communicate with the Spook crystals in the Needles. They turned on Dzym's ship and destroyed it.
