H.O.P.E. Squad
This specialized group of clone troopers was trained for high-orbit precision entry, during the height of the Clone Wars. These troopers were deployed into the uppermost reaches of a planetary atmosphere, often leaving their vessel in small environment capsules that allowed them to survive the low levels of oxygen. Once in a breathable atmosphere, the capsules split open, and the H.O.P.E. Squad troopers plummeted toward the ground. This unique insertion method allowed them to swiftly and silently enter a hostile location. The squad was dispatched to Yorn Skot to rescue Jedi Master Treetower, but they were attacked by a squad of jump droids. Only one member of the H.O.P.E. Squad survived, along with Master Treetower, but they were able to rescue a group of Ugnaughts who were going to be sold into slavery. (CWA6)

H.Tracker 16
see Heavy Tracker 16 (RASB)

H1.5
This Class One hyperdrive unit was produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (MBS)

H-10
This was one of several models of Seinar troop transports that were used by the Empire before the advent of the Lambda-class shuttle. The H-10 was discarded, but found a new home among smugglers and backwater planetary governments. (POT)

H-12 Copter
This was a six-person copter produced many centuries before the Clone Wars by Lorrad Flightworks. Many of these vehicles survived until the era of the Galactic Civil War, and were used as taxis and simple transports on worlds such as Desevro. Measuring six meters in length, the H-12 Copter required a pilot to operate, and could transport up to five people to their destination. These vehicles could also carry up to 100 kilograms of cargo. The H-12 Copter could be armed with a pair of blaster cannons, for protection in the more dangerous parts of a city. (GORW)

H2
This administrative droid was owned by Dezono Qua, during the final years of the Old Republic. H2 was often in charge of managing the landping pad that was maintained at Qua's estate, as well as ensuring that Qua's personal starship was ready to fly. H2 moved about on repulsors, allowing it move freely about as it went about its tasks. H2's upper "head" was a disc-shaped unit from a probe droid, while its body was scavenged from the main cylinder of an Industrial Automaton astromech droid. When Dezono Qua was killed by Dass Jennir, the former Jedi took H2 with him to Telerath. (DT1, DT3)

H2-1
This was the designation of one of the Corellian Engineering Corporation's hyperdrive systems. Xizor had one installed on the Stinger. (EGV)

H-3PO
This was the name used by a group of protocol droids that were the property of Popara the Hutt. The droids shared information updates on a regular basis, allowing them to work separately yet coordinate their activities. For instance, H-3POA was provided to Vago for use in negotiating deals with other beings. H-3POB served aboard Popara's personal starship, the Imru Ootmian. In general, H-3PO droids were unique from other 3PO-series protocol droids in that their access systems were programmed to accept a verbal signal from a specific individual. They also had enhanced sensors and communications systems, and often were created with self-destruct mechanisms. (TF)

H-3POA
This jade-colored protocol droid was part of a group which was owned by Popara the Hutt. H-3POA was assigned to Vago, Popara's chief aide, for use in negotiations and other meetings. Vago was capable of understanding and speaking both Huttese and Basic, but used H-3POA in all other situations. (TF)

H-3POB
This green protocol droid was part of a group which was owned by Popara the Hutt. H-3POB served aboard Popara's personal starship, the Imru Ootmian. After the rescue of Mika the Hutt from Endregaad, H-3POB returned to Nar Shaddaa with Vago, Popara's chief aide. When Vago was supposed to meet with the agents who rescued Mika sometime later, H-3POB was assigned to the delegation. Mika himself requested that he meet the agents, so that Vago could continue his own work. This was part of a plot by Mika to "survive" an assassination attempt. Mika had hired Ogo Nan to try and kill him, but had ordered the Cerean to ensure no injury came to living beings. Instead, Ogo Nan was ordered to shoot H-3POB, a mission he carried out with deadly precision. H-3POB was nearly destroyed by Ogo Nan's blast, and its parts were recovered for later repair. (TF)

H-3POC
This was one of the many jade-colored protocol droids maintained by Vago the Hutt, as part of his services to Popara. (TF)

H-90
This was one of the many sectors of Galactic City, on the planet Coruscant, that experienced a sharp increase in insurgence during Thrackan Sal-Solo's bid for Corellian independence, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Like other city sectors in which terrorists were believed to be working, H-90 was raided by the Galactic Alliance Guard. The situation started when the Coruscant Security Force tried to arrest residents who were painting anti-Alliance slogans on government offices, and nearly escalated into a riot before the GAG stepped in and made swift arrests of the primary suspects. (LF2)

H-9PO
This Duorq 79-series human-cyborg relations droid was adopted by H'nib Statermast when its previous owner was killed just outside the Farrimmer Café. He was nicknamed "Silverhand" by Statermast, in reference to the fact that the droid's right hand had been replaced by a silver-plated hand from a newer model. H-9PO's former owner was a gambler whose debts caught up with him. The droid's primary programming had been modified to assist with the gambling, and H-9PO resented the fact that Statermast put him to work as a waiter. H-9PO saved any tips he received and horded them away, in hopes of using them to go gambling on its own. (SWJ11)

Ha, Kina
This Force-sensitive Kaminoan worked to keep her homeworld safe from harm, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She was born many years before the onset of the Clone Wars, as part of a project to develop long-lived Kaminoans for deep-space explorations, and her skills manifested themselves very early in life. Rather than submitting to "re-education" to eliminate her wild Force skills, Kina Ha fled her homeworld of Kamino. She was taken in by the rogue Jedi Master Kras'dohk, who trained her without any contact with the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Over several decades of training, Kina Ha discovered that she had the ability to see into the future. Kina Ha eventually outlived her Master, and she traveled the Outer Rim for more than a century after his death, before settling on Vorusku. There, she began having visions of trouble on her homeworld. Her visions revealed that the Dark Side would try to invade Kamino, and Kina Ha returned to her homeworld to prevent any trouble. Settling into a residence in the Slici Canyon, Kina Ha found nothing amiss on Kamino, and remained hidden in order to further contemplate her visions. It was believed that Kina Ha made a journey to the planet Mandalore, in the wake of the Clone Wars, to avoid the Jedi Purge. During the height of the New Republic, she realized that the visions were alerting her to an attack by the Yuuzhan Vong. The attack came in the form of a Peace Brigade mission to the Malio Preserve Units, where a group of freelance mercenaries tried to steal the genetic template of an amphistaff that was kept there. Kina Ha was able to rally some supporters and drive off the mercenaries before they could obtain the sample. (GORW, RC66)

Haako
This male Chadra-Fan lived aboard The Wheel, during the years following the Sith-Imperial War. Jor Tolin made contact with Haako some seven years after the Battle of Caamas, during his search for Cade Skywalker. Haako claimed to have seen Skywalker aboard The Wheel, and agreed to help Tolin locate him. However, Skywalker managed to escape from the station before Tolin arrived, so Haako used his network of connections to try and find out where Skywalker was headed. (SWLT)

Haako, Rine
This Neimoidian served as a Trade Federation settlement officer and legal counsel, and was Nute Gunray's lieutenant during the time leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Known as a ruthless businessbeing who viewed his associates as enemies, Haako was the only one of the Neimoidian leaders to ever have encountered the Jedi Knights. A native of Cato Neimoidian, Rune Haako strongly disliked direct confrontation, and developed skills in stealthy attacks as a result.

During the search for Hath Monchar, it was Haako who suggested to Gunray that they employ Mahwi Lihnn to hunt the rogue Neimoidian down. Later, after the blockade of Naboo had been started, he was extremely distrubed to learn that Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi had been dispatched to Naboo. When Darth Sidious had Daultay Dofine demoted for questioning his plans, Haako was promoted into Dofine's position.

Together, Haako and Gunray managed to carry out the Sith Lord's plans agains the Naboo and the Gungans, but were unable to completely control the planet. They were captured during the Battle of Naboo by Queen Amidala and her forces, and were returned to Coruscant for trial. Like the rest of the Trade Federation's leadership, Rune Haako was allowed to go free after what amounted to a slap on the wrist, much to the dismay of the inhabitants of Naboo.

In the wake of the Republic's victory at the Battle of Geonosis, Rune Haako fled with Nute Gunray and the Separatist leaders to several remote worlds, always trying to remain one step ahead of their Jedi pursuers. After hiding on Utapau under the protection of General Grievous, the Separatists were taken to Mustafar. It was there, after Darth Sidious finally lured Anakin Skywalker to the Darth Side of the Force, that the Separatist leaders met their deaths. Skywalker was dispatched to Mustafar by Sidious himself, with orders to eliminate them. Skywalker eventually killed Haako, before setting off after the rest of the Separatist leaders. Rune Haako was acted by Jerome Blake and voiced by James Taylor in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (E1, IG1, DMSH, SON, CCG15, IS3, CVD)

Haakon
This Lord lost a high-stakes sabacc match with the Herglic gambler Narloch, but refused to pay his debts. Haakon claimed the match had been rigged, but an Imperial investigation revealed that Haakon had to pay up. Haakon was forced to mortgage his family holdings in order to pay off the debt, but vowed to make Narloch pay. Haakon issued an anonymous bounty for Narloch's live body. (ND)

Haariden
This planet was plunged into civil war some five years before the Battle of Naboo, a war which lasted more than a decade before the Jedi Knights were sent to the planet to rescue a group of Old Republic scientists. It was a volcanically-active planet, dotted with forests and small settlements. A single moon, pink in the pale twilight, orbited the planet. The civil war on Haariden was based on land ownership rights, with each side hoping to lay claim to the lands over which titanite mines could be established. (JQ4)

Haas, Veneziano
This man was one of Nirama's primary representatives during the era of the Clone Wars. Haas was well-dressed scoundrel who was distinguished by his dark hair and his well-groomed mustache, which covered a set of very white teeth. In addition to his skills as a negotiator, Haas was also an accomplished pilot. When the Thaereian Military began blockading the Cularin System, ostensibly as part of its Senate-supported role in "protecting" the system, Nirama sent Haas out to look for independent spacers and legitimate mercenaries who were willing to run the Thaereian blockade to deliver much-needed medical supplies and foodstuffs to Cularin. (BIT1)

H'aas, Nab
This Bith represented his homeworld in the Senate of the Galactic Alliance, during the height of the war between the Galactic Alliance and The Confederation.

She was accepted to train with the Wroonian defense, and within a year was piloting a starfighter for the home fleet. However, the regimented life of a pilot didn't appeal to her, and she joined a group of squadronmates and went rogue. Their numbers were decimated in a skirmish with Imperial forces, and she fled to Rodaj. There, she convinced some of the miners - including Ivhin Jayme and Morgan Q. Raventhorn - to join the Alliance, and she was initially placed in Starfighter Command as a pilot. Once again, T'Charek was at odds with the prescribed life of a military pilot, and she was offered a position in the Special Operations team. She finally found her niche, worked as a remote operative with a small team of shipjackers, obtaining much-needed freighters and starships for the Alliance. (SWJ13)

Haazen
This man served as Lady Krynda Draay's personal aide, during the years following the Great Sith War. In his youth, Haazen had been good friends with Barrison Draay, the son of a wealth family for whom Haazen's own parents had worked as servants. During their training as Jedi Knights, it was believed that the Draay family's wealth had helped ensure that Haazen was allowed entrance to the Jedi Order. However, Haazen found himself unable to regularly draw upon the Force and use it, a trait that kept him from reaching his potential as a Jedi. He was vexed by a Nautolan smuggler named Dossa, who seemed to relish the fact that Haazen was unable to capture her, and often went out of her way to torment him. Dossa later caught Haazen during his training on the planet Arkania, and she might have killed him if Barrison had not stepped in. In the days that followed, Barrison was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight with Krynda Hulis, but Haazen was not. Haazen angrily questioned Jedi Master Arca Jeth, demanding to know why he was being kept back. Master Arca asked Haazen to look at himself, and determine whether or not he had progressed in his training. Master Arca then explained that Haazen seemed unable to call upon the Force when needed, and that he allowed his feelings and intentions to become obvious to those around him. For this reason, beings like Dossa always managed to be one step ahead of him. Haazen would not be put off, and accused Master Arca of promoting the wealthier students in favor of the lesser-privileged individuals.

Haazen stormed out of the praxeum, and Barrison tried to follow him. However, Haazen wanted nothing to do with his old friend, and even accused Barrison of creating the Draay Trust so that there would not be any family wealth to help promote Haazen to the ranks of the Jedi. He also accused Barrison of stealing Krynda away from him, and although he had every right to break off their friendship, Barrison agreed to forget the incident and work toward keeping Haazen as a servant. Eventually, Haazen regained a measure of trust in Barrison's eyes, and he was allowed to remain by Barrison's side during the Great Sith War. Unfortunately, Haazen was confronted by his old nemesis, Dossa, on the planet Toprawa. Dossa had taken on a job for the Sith, and would have killed Haazen on the spot. However, she knew that the Sith would eventually lose the war, and wanted to make sure she got paid. She offered him a deal: his life, in exchange for the lives of the Jedi who were with him. Haazen agreed, and led Barrison and the others into the Ansharii Caverns. He expected to reach the safety of Dossa's position before she set off her trap, but Dossa had no plans to fully honor her end of the bargain. She set off a massive explosion that tore through the Jedi, killing all but Haazen.

When he regained consciousness, Haazen discovered that his body had been severely injured. Only his torso, left arm, neck, and head were salvaged from his ruined body, to which were implanted cybernetic prostheses for his legs and right arm. An optical prosthesis was also required to replace his right eye, and a strange device had been placed around his neck. Dossa then revealed that the Sith Lord Uburluh had sensed Haazen's tenuous connection to the Force, and hoped to use him as a kind of spy. The cybernetics would further impede Haazen's ability to use the Force, and the device - which was known as the Yoke of Seeming - would mask his true allegiance and intentions. Although Haazen was disgusted by his appearance, he was bouyed by the thought that other Sith artifacts might help restore his connection to the Force. He flatly refused to serve the Sith, though, and killed Dossa and Lord Uburluh before making his escape. Upon returning to Coruscant with word of Barrison's death, Haazen agreed to continue serving the Draay family by becoming Lady Krydna's primary assistant. He knew that his appearance revolted her, but Haazen had finally found a way to be close to Krynda at all times.

Haazen helped to preserve the seclusion that Lady Krynda demanded in the wake of the Sith War, when she removed herself from the Jedi Order in an effort to find some measure of inner peace. Because of the injuries he had suffered in the war, Haazen agreed with Lady Krynda's disillusionment with the fighting between the various factions in the galaxy, and chose to leave the order when she did. As Lady Krynda's aide, Haazen was able to continue his own search for Sith artifacts by ostensibly helping the Jedi Order locate them. In addition, he was placed in charge of maintaining the Draay Trust, and used the family's financial power to manipulate several key corporations. He also became young Lucien Draay's tutor in the ways of the Force, a situation that rankled Lucien after his mother took several other students to train as seers. However, Haazen saw that Lucien had skill with a lightsaber, and trained the boy to be a swordsman and a warrior. Lady Krynda did not fully approve of this training regimen, especially when Lucien sparred with her own students. Further angering Lady Krynda was the fact that Haazen convinced Jedi Master Vandar Tokare to accept Lucien into the Jedi Order on a propationary trial. Nevertheless, Lucien was accepted into the Jedi Order, and he eventually showed some talent as a seer. Haazen, despite his position, maintained several contacts in the Order, and received regular reports on Lucien's progress. This continued throughout Lucien's career, even after he was recalled to Coruscant in the wake of Zayne Carrick's escape from Taris. He confronted Lucien about this turn of events, since they ran counter to Lady Krynda's own vision of the future of the galaxy, and ordered him to bring Zayne back to the Draay estate.

The attack on the Courageous at Serroco gave Lucien hope that Zayne had been killed or taken prisoner. When Telerath was then threatened by the Mandalorian hoards, Haazen revealed to Lucien that the Draay Trust had been selling off its interests on Telerath. He explained that the use of the Jedi's ability to foresee the future in order to gain profit was in keeping with the Covenant's efforts to defend the galaxy against the growing storm. Haazen remained behind the scenes, working to ensure that the Draay Estate and The Covenant were one step ahead of the Sith. Thus, when he learned that Celeste Morne had discovered the location of the Muur Talisman, he quickly alerted Lucien, who sent Feln to meet with her at the Sanctum of the Exalted on Odryn. Unknown to them was the fact that "Celeste Morne" was actually Jarael in disguised. The real Celeste had put on the Muur Talisman and then imprisoned herself in Lord Dreypa's Oubliette, in order to prevent the talisman from unleashing the Rakghoul Plague.

When the group realized that something was amiss, Lucien suggested that they destroy the Sanctum of the Exalted, in order to prevent Zayne Carrick from cataloguing its contents and using the information to expose The Covenant. Haazen refused to accept this as the only course of action, since The Covenant had been stockpiling artifacts there for years. Unfortunately, Lucien convinced Jedi Master Feln to protect The Covenant at all costs, and the Feeorin destroyed the Sanctum before being killed by other Feeorins on Odryn. Upon returning to Coruscant, Haazen was surprised to learn that Zayne Carrick had arrived at the Draay Estate, demanding to meet with Lady Krynda. Although Carrick wore the Muur Talisman and appeared to have turned to the Dark Side of the Force, Haazen saw through his ruse. He broke the fake talisman open, revealing Carrick's lightsaber, and then tried to turn his anger upon Carrick's companion, Marn Hierogryph. Any further action by Haazen was cut short when it was learned that Master Xamar had opened a back gate to the estate and allowed a group of Jedi Knights to enter the complex, on a mission to arrest Lucien and place the entire Draay Estate under investigation. Haazen then revealed that he had no plans to surrender, and that he had been using Lucien and his place on the High Council to gain access to a wealth of Jedi resources. He had also gained access to the Republic naval fleet, because of the Draay Trust's funding of the development of the Vanjervalis Chain.

With the code word "Vindication", Haazen set in motion a series of plans that cut the Jedi Council off from key services, then activated the Vanjervalis Chain to take control of the defense fleet commanded by Saul Karath to bombard the attacking Jedi forces from orbit. Haazen then removed the Gauntlet of Kressh the Younger from the cache of hidden Sith artifacts and placed it on his right hand, drawing on its connection to the Dark Side of the Force to augment his own connection. Meanwhile, his minions were gathering other Sith artifacts from the Jedi Temple and transporting them to the Draay Estate, where Haazen hoped to draw upon their unique powers to further his own ambitions. He also hoped that Lucien would join his cabal, knowing that the Jedi and the Covenanters would rally to around a Draay figurehead. However, Lucien appeared to have been killed in a lightsaber duel with Zayne Carrick, forcing Haazen to re-evaluate his plans. He knew that Zayne had a unique connection to the Force, and allowed them young man to bow to his demands. By agreeing to serve Haazen, Zayne was able to grasp the Kressh Gauntlet and use his lightsaber to cut it from Haazen's body, eliminating one of Haazen's advantages. Haazen might still have prevailed, but Lucien Draay suddenly re-appeared with the gauntlet in his hands. Lucien then used it to change the orders that Haazen was using to control the Vanjervalis Chain, and the Republic ships in orbit altered their targets and fired on Haazen's position. Although much of the Draay Estate was destroyed, Haazen was killed in the blast, which put an end to his brief reign of terror. (KOR2, KOR5, KORH, KOR8, KOR10)

Habeen
One of the two civilizations on Mylok IV, the Habeen worked with their neighbors, the Nharwaaks, to develop a compact hyperdrive system, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. When they Empire heard about the system, they tried to negotiate for the technology, hoping to insert it into new breeds of TIE Fighters. When the Nharwaaks balked at dealing with the Empire, the Habeen stepped in and agreed to sell it to the Empire, even though they did not agree with the Empire's politics. The Nharwaaks tried in vain to thwart the sale of the new hyperdrive technology, but the Empire defeated them. (TIE, TIEP)

Habel was a member of the 23rd Combat Starfighter Wing, and was deployed with the rest of the Rapid Response Task Force to assault Lord Shadowspawn's fortress on Mindor, some six months after the Battle of Endor. Habel served as the gunner in the fighter flown by Chask Fragan, and they were part of the first wave of starfighters to confront Shadowspawn's forces. Both beings were surprised when a shuttle that supposedly carried Shadowspawn himself suddenly exploded in front of the flagship Justice, rendering the flagship a collection of broken and dying debris. (LSSM)

Habensa
This Argazdan word translated into Basic as "one who builds" in the modern version of the language. Doctor Helian Rotham discovered that the term had a slightly different meaning during the era of the Great Sith War and the Kanz Disorders that followed, when it meant something closer to "one who shapes or sculpts". This term was used to describe the alien being that the ancient Argazdans discovered in the Redoubt area of the galaxy. This being was the demon architect from the story of Torphceris, and helped the Argazdans create the Slave Pits of Lorrd. (OWS)

Habitat Shell
This was a generic term used to describe the dome-shaped structures that were used to protect living areas in hostile environments. Once erected on a harsh planet, habitat shells could be anchored to the ground and filled with breathable atmosphere, allowing beings to survive in their new environement. Several habitat shells could be linked together by tunnels or airlocks, creating a small settlement. (LF7)

Habuur
This was a crude slang term adopted by the members of the Galactic Alliance Guard, after Jacen Solo killed Ailyn Habuur during an interrogation session. The soldiers used the term to describe any rough or intense interrogation session that would end with the death of the subject under interrogation, whether they revealed any useful information or not. (LF6)

Habuur, Ailyn
This was an alias used by Ailyn Vel when she took up a more prominent role as a bounty hunter, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Working as Ailyn Habuur, she took the job of hunting down Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo, when a bounty was offered for their heads by Thrackan Sal-Solo. While the alias threw off most beings, her Kiffar facial scar made her recognizable to most of the galaxy's Mandalorians, who relayed information about her taking the job to her father, Boba Fett. Ailyn began her search on Coruscant, working within the Corellian community to seek out information on the whereabout of the Solos.

However, this investigation coincided with the Galactic Alliance Guard's crackdown on Corellian terrorists, and Ailyn found herself captured and held for questioning before she could begin the hunt. In prison, she was interrogated by Jacen Solo, who physically beat her before using a dangerous Force technique to extract information from her mind. Unable to withstand the pressure of Jacen's assault, Ailyn died before she could reveal any more information. When Leia discovered that Ailyn had died, she arranged to have Jacen transport her body back to Ailyn's true father, Boba Fett. Leia then held her breath, hoping that Fett wouldn't learn the truth about Ailyn's death and then try to exact revenge against Jacen. (LF2)

Hachete

Hachete
This was the name of the Duelist Elite dueling droid Darth Maul once trained against. It was named because it was armed with a pair of hachete blades. It was destroyed by Maul in combat, shortly before he was ordered to hunt down Hath Monchar. (DMSH)

Hack, Turland
This Alliance Lieutenant served at a training facility located outside Mos Eisley, and was part of the group which contained Rookie One.

Hadar Sector
This section of the galaxy contained the planet Turkana. (XW, XWP)

Hadde
This city was located on the planet Haurgab. Hadde was the governmental seat of the planet, and the leaders of the city sided with the Galactic Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. The Grand Army of the Republic established Hadde Base just outside the city limts, hoping to defend the city from attacks during the fighting. The Maujasi rebels who sided with the Separatists launched several attacks on the city, hoping to dislodge the Republic's forces. (RC66)

Hadde Base
This was the base of operations used by the Grand Army of the Republic during its mission to ensure the safety of the planet Haurgab, during the height of the Clone Wars. Just before the Republic began planning to wind down its operations on Haurgab, Hadde Base was struck by a series of missile attacks, and many of the buildings that formed the base were badly damaged or destroyed. Investigation by the clone commandos of Delta Squad discovered that the missiles, possibly something like the Huntmaster weapon produced by Arakyd Industries, were launched from with Hadde itself. (RC66)

Hadde-Rishun Road
This road ran through the Maujus Desert, connecting the cities of Hadde and Rishun, on the planet Haurgab. (RC66)

Hadida
Meaning "Boss's wife", this name was common among Gungan females. (GCG)

Hadiss the Vaulted
This Geonosian was the ruler of his planet, emerging from the Stalgasin Hive during the years prior to the Battle of Naboo. A veteran of the physical and mental battles forced upon the Geonosians during their evolution, Hadiss the Vaulted preferred to solve issues in battle. Rather than simply allowing criminals and others he despised survive in the petrana-ki gladiator arenas of his homeworld, Hadiss ensured that any individual who survived the neessary trials finally had to defeat an enraged acklay. His leadership skills were questioned by a small minority, led by Poggle the Lesser, during the years prior to the Clone Wars. After Poggle managed to win his way out of the gladiator arena, he received the backing of Darth Sidious and was eventually able to defeat Hadiss in battle. In a twist of fate, Poggle attacked Hadiss while riding on the back of an acklay, which cut Hadiss into three pieces before devouring him. (SWI60, SWI66)

Hadlress Defense Systems, Limited
Based on the planet Hadlress, this security systems manufacturer was once owned and operated by Jasis Temm. The corporation was a major consultant to Prefect Ilanda before Temm sold it for 4.6 billion credits. (GG10)

Hadocrassk
This Trandoshan served as the Senator - or, in Trandoshan terms, the Speaker-Above-All - representing Trandosha to the Old Republic Senate, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was Hadocrassk who met with the Wookiee Senator Yarua, in an effort to discuss a truce between their two peoples. The talks were mediated by the Jedi Master Oppo Rancisis, who was called in after Senator Yarua ordered the blockade of all shipments to Trandosha. Senator Yarua reacted to the deaths of 215 Wookiees over one of Trandosha's moons, when the bodies of the dead were not returned to Kashyyyk. Hadocrassk responded by saying that the Wookiees received preferential treatment in the Senate, to the detriment of the Trandoshan people. The peace talks were interrupted by the onset of the Clone Wars. (HNN4)

Hadrassi Emergency Medical Systems Technologies
This small corporation produced a variety of chemical synthesizers for use in creating serums and anti-toxins. (GFT)

Haduran
This man served as a Captain in the Army of Light, fighting for the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights during the Battle of Ruusan. He found himself under the command of Jedi Master Valenthyne Farfalla, after the Sith set off their thought bomb, and was ordered to search the battlefield for any survivors. Farfalla also ordered Harudan to euthanize any bouncers his troops encountered, knowing that the thought bomb would have caused the sentient creatures immense pain and suffering. (DBPD)

Haesh-Rulan
This was a noted member of the Yarkora race. (UANT)

HAET-221
Developed by Mekuun, this high-altitude entry transport vessel measured 17.2 meters in length, and was designed to carry troops from low-orbiting starships to ground-based engagements with the enemy. These ships were produced during the height of the Clone Wars for the use of the Old Republic. Powered by repulsorlift engines and directional jets, the HAET-221 could move through the atmosphere on sheer graviational forces before engaging the repulsors as it neared the ground. Sophisticated mapping sensors allowed the HAET-221 to reach a target location with incredible accuracy; these sensors also allowed it to serve on reconnaissance and search-and-rescue missions. However, the repulsors and directional jets were not powerful enough to return the ship to its low-orbit point of origin, so a recovery vessel was needed to bring the HAET-221 back to its mother ship. Each of these transports was armed with an anti-vehicle laser cannon and several anti-personnel blasters. (SWDB)

Hafa
This vine, which was native to the planet Garqi, produced the small fruits and leaves which were harvested and fermented to create Cassandran choholl. (GORW)

Hahrynyar
This old Wookiee was part of the pool of slave labor that was assigned to the construction of the first Death Star, in orbit around the planet Despayre, during the early years of the New Order. Hahrynyar was distinguished by his pelt, which was almost entirely gray. Known as a stubborn individual, Hahrynyar often appeared to forget that he could understand the Basic language, especially when he was arguing an indisputable point. This forced the humans around him to provide lengthy explanations, even when the Wookiee knew what the answer was going to be.

A natural-born leader and worker, Hahrynyar might have volunteered to work on the Death Satar project, if he hadn't been captured and enslaved first. During the construction of the Death Star, Hahrynyar served as a crew chief on several projects, including the installation of thermal exhaust ports near the main exhaust port in Sector N-1. He got into an argument with Teela Kaarz over the placement of secondary ports, who felt that the smaller ports should be moved. Kaarz claimed that she would get authorization to have the secondary ports moved, and Hahrynyar acceded to her plans.

Shortly after this encounter, Hahrynyar contracted an illness that left him with a ravaging cough and a high fever, and Doctor Kornell Divini was unable to explain the changes he saw in the old Wookiee's blood chemistry. Hahrynyar stayed in the medical suite for many days, while the work on the secondary exhaust port continued in his absence. However, Teela Kaarz had never obtained the required authorization, and the secondary port was installed just below the main port. (DSTR)

Hai, Haka
This male Ishi Tib was a noted crimelord who controlled a large operation from a base on Circarpous V, during the final years of the Old Republic. Haka Hai contracted Schurk-Heren and the crew of the Uhumele to deliver a rare artifact to his headquarters, but realized that there might be trouble during the actual delivery. He placed his chief lieutenant, Lumbra, on alert, hoping to avoid a major confrontation and unnecessary deaths. Schurk-Heren, an old friend, had been trying to sell the artifact, but found it difficult after the formation of the Galactic Empire to find a buyer. Haka Hai agreed to purchase the artifact, but had no plans to actually pay for it.

An exchange was set up on Circarpous V, during which time Haka Hai discovered that Lumbra had set his own plans in motion. Lumbra and his comrades tried to steal the crate in which the artifact was being transported, setting off a three-way firefight between Haka Hai's forces, Lumbra's comrades, and the crew of the Uhumele. Lumbra managed to escape when it was learned that all of Haka Hai's ships had been disabled, forcing Haka Hai to confront Schurk-Heren about the situation. Schurk-Heren admitted that the crate he delivered did not contain the actual artifact, which had been hidden in the asteroids near Pizkoss. In anger, Haka Hai ordered that the crew of the Uhumele be locked up and interrogated until one of them revealed the location of the real artifact. When Schurk-Heren refused to divulge any information, Haka Hai and his thugs turned to Bomo Greenbark, but the Nosuarian passed during the interrogation. They left the Nosaurian to recover, but when they returned, they found that Bomo had escaped.

A search for the Nosaurian led Haka Hai and his thugs into a trap that Bomo and Crys Taanzer had set, and Haka Hai and his men were all killed in the ensuing firefight. (DT2)

Hai, Korkeal
This hyper-kinetic human female was a native of the Shesharile system, where she spent her youth rebuilding a light freighter. She was not an expert on all the systems, and spent a large part of her earnings on a Clone Wars-era computer. She used the computer to assist in her engineering work, although the computer's personality was continually at odds with her own. The ship, a modified Gymsnor-3 freighter call the Riff-Raff, was completed just prior to the Battle of Yavin, and the aging computer was installed in it. Korkeal, while not extremely proficient in all starship systems, nevertheless was eager to try and implement new systems on the Riff-Raff, and much of the ship's cargo space was taken up with spare parts. (GG6)

Hai, Resta Shug
This grizzled X'Ting fighter was one of the recruits who joined the Desert Wind terrorist group to fight against the Five Families during the height of the Clone Wars. A farmer by trade, Resta and her husband worked hard to eke out an existence in the desert near Kibo Lake. When the Five Families raised energy prices to the outlying areas - a move meant to ensure that their secure bunker was properly protected - Resta and her husband were unable to survive without extra income. Her husband went to work in the mines, but died from exhaustion. Rather than stand by and lose her farm, Resta answered the call sent out by Jedi Master Kit Fisto and the ARC trooper known as Nate. After training with them for several weeks, she joined Desert Wind to strike back at the Five Families and their control over Cestians. She was the only X'Ting to survive the training process with the clone troopers, but she fought for the same thing her comrades did: equal rights and freedom for the workers of Ord Cestus. She earned the respect and gratitude of the AFRC trooper known as Jangotat, after he was brought to the Zantay Hills to recover from injuries sustained during a raid on the Desert Wind encampment. When Jangotat launched a desparate mission to root out the Five Families from their secret bunker, Resta refused to remain behind, even though Jangotat gave her the A-98 Tac Code 12 phrase to receive compensation from the Republic. The only way Jangotat got her to stay behind was to incapacitate her in a swift sleeper hold, rendering Resta unconscious before she could protest. (TCD)

Haik Expedition
This group of interplanetary explorers set out to find a reliable hyperspace lane between the Enarc Run and the Harrin Trade Corridor during the early years of the Old Republic's Expansionist Period, many decades before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. They found the Kira System, located between the Lazerian and Ropagi Systems, and used the system as a reference point and hyperspace anchor for their route. Thus, they discovered the Kira Run. (TSK, OWS)

Hailbrock, Jan
A supplier of exotic weapons, Hailbrock was known for his ability to obtain illegal weapons for the elite members of the Procopian society. Because of his cargoes, Hailbrock's employers often used their clout to encourage customs officials to look the other way when he was detained. Hailbrock was also a strong supporter of the Alliance, and did his best to supply local rebel cells with weapons and armor. However, he worked hard to make sure his ties to the Alliance were never discovered. (LOE)

Hailey, Serra

Hailfire Droid
Officially known as the IG-227, this twin-wheeled combat droid was developed and financed by the InterGalactic Banking Clan, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Originally created for the IBC's Collections and Securities division, the Hailfire Droid - sometimes referred to as the Hailfire-class Droid Tank - was developed by Haor Chall Engineering. This combat droid carried two racks of fifteen Hailfire missiles. It was this weapons system that gave the droid its name. The hoop-like wheels of the droid were propelled by a series of magna-pulse drives built into the supporting frame, allowing the droid to move silently and smoothly. These droids were built after the Galactic Senate voted to allow the IBC to defend its operations, and Hailfire Droids were originally dispatched to enforce the collection of debts from its various customers. After the IBC agreed to support Count Dooku and the Separatists, Hailfire Droids were given combat programming. Standing 8.5 meters tall at the top of the hoop wheels, the Hailfire droid could attain speeds over flat surfaces approaching forty-five kilometers per hour. The only drawback to the effectiveness of the Hailfire Droid was that it needed to leave the battlefield to be rearmed. After several months, the Hailfire Droid was partnered with a mobile refresh droid that could bring additional ordnance to the droid in the field. With the end of the Clone Wars, all Hailfire droids were issued orders to deactivate, as part of Darth Sidious' plan to consolidate military power and ensure the loyalty of his troops. (HNN5, VD2, SWDB, NEGV, VD3, X3)

Hajen-class Fleet Tender
This starship was used extensively by the New Republic, and was designed to be part of the supply lines which maintained a battle fleet. It was also one of the New Class of starship designs approved for use by the Republic Navy. At 375 meters, it was based on the Sacheen-class escort ship. This practice, of basing new designs on existing, proven designs, continued for several decades. The Hajen-class ship was designed to be a mobile resupply source, more than a repair facility. These huge ships required a crew of six beings, and had a huge droid pool to perform the more menial tasks. Up to six passengers could be carried, along with 300,000 metric tons of supplies. These ships were equipped with a Class-1 hyperdrive and quick sublight engines, but were unarmed. (BTS, CTD)

He was less than happy when he was told that the Star of Empire would be the first ship outfitted with the Systems Integration Manager,and even less happy about Malik's assignment to install it. When the ship suddenly experienced an engine reactor breach, Hajj and his crewmen assisted the passengers to the escape pods. They were on the ship as the computer suddenly declared the emergency under control, and they met up with Dash Rendar and Zak and Tash Arranda. They attempted to make their way to the communications room, but several of the crewmen died in various attacks along the way. They decided to crawl through cable pipes to get to the communications room, but Hajj was attacked by a multitude of crab-like maintenance droids. In trying to defend himself against their attack, he let go of his grip and plunged to his death at the bottom of the cable pipe. (GOF10)

Hak, Raad

Hal, Leor
This man was a strong and powerful student of the Jedi arts, who embraced the theory of the Potentium and began guiding other Jedi students along its pathways. Many regarded him as an idealist, until his beliefs started to interfere with his Jedi training. When the Jedi Masters dismissed all the followers of the Potentium, nearly 100 years before the Battle of Naboo, Leor Hal went out into the galaxy and discovered Zonama Sekot. He recruited a group of Ferroans and a group of Langhesi to help him establish a new civilization on the planet, and he eventually came to know the being known as Sekot. Leor Hal established a symbiotic relationship with Sekot, and helped turn the planet into a huge, organic factory. Much of the Zonaman philosophy and leadership came from Hal's own experiences, which he imparted to the planetary society.

The plan to create Sekotan starships and sell them to the greater galaxy was Hal's plan, designed to raise enough money to finance the huge hyperdrive cores which were woven into the tampasi and later used to launch the planet into hyperspace, when it came under attack by Wilhuff Tarkin. After his death, the Zonaman's considered his name to be sacred, and forbid anyone to use it out loud. Sekot used a holographic representation of Hal to maintain the status quo on Zonama Sekot, until his withered, dead body was discovered by Anakin Skywalker and Jabitha, during their escape from Tarkin's attack. (RP, EGF)

Halbert stood nearly two and a half meters tall, and his large head was crowned a a messy mop of black hair. Much of his early career was marked by successful missions, until he started losing ships and crewmembers. Elias was suddenly a liability, and many of his old employers stopped calling. A huge man, Elias made a small ripple when he ended up on Socorro, as his reputation and his drinking preceded him. The Society of the Black Bha'lir accepted him, but they never made any effort to clean him up. However, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, he caught the attention of Abdi-Badawzi. The Twi'lek saw that Halbert retained a spark of potential, and took an interest in rehabilitating him. Halbert began making a concerted effort to clean up his act.

Halbret
According to legend, this ancient Jedi Knight fell from the Light Side and began learning anything he could about the Dark Side and Sith teachings. When he felt a strange disturbance in the Force, he sought out its source and discovered the Cthol race and their Codex. Greedy and evil, Halbret exterminated the Cthol and took the Codex for himself. Halbret was later killed in a space battle with a group of Jedi Knights, and the Codex was lost for several millennia. Many historians of the New Republic believe that Halbret was, in fact, a woman, after the discovery of the planet Kathol by the crew of the FarStar and the location of the Shrine of the Sleeper. All the history of the Kathol matched with that of the Cthol, down to the presence of Halbret in suspended animation on Kathol. The FarStar's crew was able to reanimate Halbret, who was known as the Sleeper to the races of Kathol. They learned that she had been born on Coruscant, and traveled to the farthest reaches of the known galaxy (what later became the Inner Rim) to seek her destiny. As a Jedi Knight, she was sensitive to the ripples in the Force which spread out after a Dark Jedi enslaved the Kathol, and she traveled to Kathol Sector to find out what was happening. In the battle against the Dark Jedi, it was Halbret who stood alone against him, and her strength against her opponent generated the energy which caused the Rift Disaster. In return for her help in defeating the Dark Jedi, the ancient Kathol gave her the opportunity to survive the Rift Disaster by going into suspended animation. Halbret agreed, and was frozen in time until the FarStar's crew found her. Halbret also revealed that she and Jessa Dajus shared a common ancestry, which explained Jessa's resemblance. After awakening, Halbret assisted the crew of the FarStar in defeating DarkStryder's minions, then released the ancient Kathol from the Lifewell. During the struggle, though, Halbret realized that Jessa was unable to defeat the creatures she was fighting. Halbret threw herself in front of a killing blow, sacrificing herself to save Jessa. Jessa stared, dumbfounded, as Halbret's body dissolved and became part of The Force. (GMH, E)

Halcyon
This was one of the most powerful starship booster systems produced by Qualdex, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Halcyon, Kieran
This Jedi Knight was one of many Corellians who became Jedi. He was a famed Knight, and was responsible for eliminating the Afarathu sect some 400 years before the Battle of Endor. Keiran was one of the ancestors of Nejaa Halcyon. The Halcyon line, while famous in the lore of Corellia, was notably unable to use the Force for telekinetic abilities. (IJ)

Halcyon, Kieran
Corran Horn used the alias of Kieran Halcyon during his Jedi training and his search for Mirax Terrik, shortly after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. (IJ)

Halcyon, Nejaa
This Corellian Jedi Master was Valin Horn's father, and was good friends with Rostek Horn. He was one of a handful of Jedi who broke the code on marriage, having taken vows with his wife, Scerra. The birth of Valin was a precious event to him, but also one that he worked hard to keep secret from the Jedi Order. Despite his best efforts, though, Nejaa was pretty sure that Master Yoda had some idea of his family's existence, and always wondered why nothing was done about it. Shortly before the Battle of Geonosis, Halcyon led a team of Jedi Knights to locate and recapture the Scarlet Thranta, after the ship's captain and crew defected from the Old Republic. Halcyon managed to intercept Zozridor Slayke and his crew on Bpfassh, but was tricked by the rogue Captain. While Zozridor sent one of his lieutenants - a Rodian named Grudo - to challenge Halcyon to a fight, Zozridor slipped behind the lines and stole Halcyon's own ship, the Plooriod Bodkin. Slayke then fled into space, leaving Halcyon and his team without their quarry and without their starship. The net result was that the Jedi Council had been forced to remove Halcyon from command, pending another chance to redeem himself. This chance occurred more than two years after the onset of the Clone Wars, when the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn was captured by Separatist forces led by Pors Tonith. Halcyon was paired with Jedi Padawan Anakin Skywalker on the mission, and was surprised and confused to learn that Zozridor Slayke was already on Praesitlyn, putting up as much resistance as he could. Upon reaching Praesitlyn, Halcyon was forced to put his pride behind him and work together with Slayke to create a battle plan. Luckily for both men, Skywalker as eager to devise plans as well. Although their initial plan failed because of a lack of information, later plans allowed Anakin to launch a desparate rescue mission. After Pors Tonith was captured and the hostages at the communications were freed, Halcyon was able to return to Coruscant with good news. He was also reinstated as a commander. Nejaa was also a good friend of Ylenic It'kla during this time, and the Caamasi was the one who brought word of Nejaa's death to Corellia. When he died on a mission to locate Nikkos Tyris on Susevfi, shortly after the Clone Wars, Rostek cared for Halcyon's family, eventually falling in love with - and marrying - Halcyon's widow Scerra. He also adopted Nejaa's ten-year-old son Valin, but nicknamed him Hal, in honor of his father and to cover up his relationship to the Jedi. Nejaa had given Rostek a Jedi Credit medallion, which Rostek passed on to Hal, who in turn passed it to Corran Horn. Corran discovered the existence of Nejaa during his escape from Lusankya, as he stumbled upon a buried Jedi museum near the Galactic Museum. Corran also discovered Nejaa's lightsaber, which he put to use in his escape. Nejaa's true relationship to Corran was revealed by Luke Skywalker, shortly after Tycho Celchu was released from prison. (KT, HNN5, JT, NECH)

Halcyon, Scerra
This woman was Nejaa Halcyon's wife, and a childhood friend of Rostek Horn. Horn later married Scerra, after Halcyon's death during the Clone Wars, and adopted their son, Valin. Valin later took the name Hal Horn, to avoid being caught up in Emperor Palpatine's Jedi Purge. (IJ, NEGC)

Halcyon, Valin
This was Hal Horn's given name, since he was actually the son of the Jedi Master Nejaa Halcyon and his wife, Scerra. After Nejaa's death during the Clone Wars, Rostek Horn married Valin's mother and erased all data on the Halcyon family in an effort to protect them from Emperor Palpatine's Jedi purge. Thus, Valin Halcyon was renamed Hal Horn, in honor of Nejaa. (KT)

Halcyon Endures
This was the passcode used by Corran Horn to secure the hidden rooms of his Jedi training facility in Coronet, on the planet Corellia, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. He was forced to live in the rooms after Thrackan Sal-Solo again tried to make the Corellian System independent from the Galactic Alliance. Sal-Solo decreed that the Jedi were an enemy to the Corellians, and Corran found himself ostracized despite his Corellian roots. Corran's wife, Mirax, was placed under house arrest for her relationship to him. (LF1)

Half-Axe Pass
This rocky gap between two low mountains was located on the planet New Plympto. During the final stages of the Clone Wars, Half-Axe Pass was the site of an intense battle between the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic and the Separatist-based Nosaurians. Unfortunately, the clone troopers were too well-armed and too numerous for the Nosaurians to defeat, especially after the clones received orders from the newly-named Emperor Palpatine to eliminate any and all Separatist resistance on the planet. In a massive assault, the Nosaurian forces at Half-Axe Pass were utterly wiped out. It was believed that only Bomo Greenbark and the former Jedi Knight Dass Jennir were the only survivors of the fighting there. (DT1)

Halfback's Bluff
This unusual gambling game evolved on the planet Pantolomin, and took advantage of the fact that the native Pantolomin Halfback was attracted to shiny obkects and trickets. Popular among casual gamblers, this game involved betting on which particular halfback would retrieve a shiny object that was thrown into the shallow waters near a casino or ship. If the creatures wrestled among themselves for more than ten minutes without any one individual taking the trinket, all bets were collected by the house. After the popularity of Halfback's Bluff became apparent, many unscrupulous casinos and criminal organizations began rigging the events, ensuring that the halfbacks never found the objects that were thrown into the water.

Halion, Rana
This female humanoid was a charismatic political figure on her homeworld of Ieria, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. She was easily distinguished by her tall, lanky frame and her white hair, which was cut short and worn in twisted spikes. Her eyes were a pale blue color that was nearly colorless. She fought vocally for Ieria to be given better trade routes and more recognition, since her believed her homeworld was relegated to lesser status by the government on Andara. She also argued that Ieria deserved its own seat on the Galactic Senate, and pushed Senator Berm Tarturi to recognize her position. Behind the scenes, Halion employed a band of mercenary students - unknown to her, it was led by Senator Tarturi's own son, Gillam - to cause disruptions which helped rally her people to her cause. When small actions failed to bring the desired results, Halion employed the young mercenaries to strafe an Andaran military landing platform, to force Tarturi to negotiate. Unknown to Halion, however, Gillam Tarturi planned to use live fire in the mission, as way to have himself "killed." He planned to ensure that Anakin Skywalker was killed in the mission, damaging the body enough so that it could pass as Gillam. (JQ5)

Halkra
Known also as a strangle vine, this arboreal predator was native to the forests of Bothawui. These creatures appear to be nothing more than a tangled mass of vines and plant material, with a main body sack which was covered with cracked, bark-like skin. Halkras allowed various lichens and small seeds to grow on their skin, further enhancing their camouflage. Each halkra had twelve tentacles which it could sprout from its sides to tangle its prey and constrict it, and then draw it into the central sack for digestion. Halkras often settled near watering holes and other locations where other wildlife gathered, hanging from low tree branches and seeming to be a part of the forest. (SPG)

Hall of Champions
This was the central complex found within the Jervo's World space station, which was located in orbit around the planet Pantolomin, during the era of the Mandalorian Wars. The Hall of Champions was set aside as a kind of living museum in which the exploits of the swoopduelists and other gladiators who worked for The Franchise were memorialized in displays of all sorts.

Hall of Heroes
This underground hall was carved by the X'Ting race beneath the surface of their homeworld of Ord Cestus, in honor of those ancient X'Ting who had contributed the most to their history. The most noted invidivuals represented in the Hall of Heroes were the warriors who had helped the X'Ting defeat the Spider People, as well as noted leaders of their race. Each individual was depicted as a huge statue, many times larger than life. It was the Hall of Heroes which served as the primary entrance to the labyrinth of security systems that protected the royal eggs of the X'Ting during the last decades of the Old Republic. Any X'Ting who wished to locate the eggs had to find the correct entry point into the Hall. After the Great Plague, one group of X'Ting chose to establish their own hive in the Hall of Heroes, keeping to the old ways and ensuring that the pathway to the royal eggs was well-guarded. However, these X'Ting were exterminated when they wakened the carnivrous worms that served as the second security measure. The worms destroyed the X'Ting hive, thereby eliminating the last traces of information about the remaining security systems. During the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi and his X'Ting guide, Jesson Di Blinth, learned that the correct entrance went through the largest of the statues, although both were startled to learn that the statue did not depict an X'Ting individual. Obi-Wan had heard from G'Mai Duris that a Jedi Knight had visited the X'Ting some 150 years earlier, a story that Jesson refused to believe. However, the statue turned out to be a huge representation of Jedi Master Yoda, the largest of all the statues found in the Hall of Heroes. (HIV)

Hall, The
This long gallery was located in the center of the Great Pyramid on Rafa V, and contained a number of exhibits that depicted the history of the planet and its primary inhabitants, the Sharu and the Toka. The beings who became the Bearer and the Emissary were required, upon entering The Hall, to view each exhibit in turn before approaching the gallery's most valuable exhibit - the Mindharp. If the Bearer and the Emissary tried to bypass the exhibits, the computer system that controlled The Hall would activate, and vocally direct them to the exhibits. In this way, The Hall could intereact with the Bearer and the Emissary, and provide them with any additional information they might need to understand the Mindharp and its purpose. The Hall could not, however, explain how an individual could obtain the Mindharp, which appeared atop a twelve-meter-tall life-crystal. The Bearer was required to figure out this puzzle on their own, at which point The Hall would allow them access to the Mindharp. When Lando Calrissian, Vuffi Raa, and Mohs were able to enter the Great Pyramid and acquire the Mindharp, they were surprised to learn that they had spent nearly four months inside the structure, interacting with The Hall and its exhibits. (LCM)

A old woman, Halla was a native of Circarpous V. During the height of the New Order, Halla spent seven years of her life searching for the Kaiburr Crystal. She proclaimed that she was a master of the Force, but few beings on the planet cared about her claims, since most beings considered her more than a little insane. Just after the Battle of Yavin, Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa were forced to land on Circarpous V. Halla not only recognized Luke and Leia as strangers, and she also sensed Luke's strength in the Force. She gave Luke a shard of the Kaiburr crystal when they first met, and later helped Luke and Leia escape from Grammel's prison. She then convinced them to help her find the Kaiburr Crystal. Once they located the crystal, Luke and Leia were forced to defeat Darth Vader in combat in order to secure the crystal. Halla later admited that she was a charlatan, and gave the crystal to Luke.

No one knew for sure what his origins were, but Hallomar was the perfect man to maintain Port Haven. His skills as a hunter kept the modrols and other vicious creatures at bay, and his physical presence helped maintain peace in the settlement. Hallomar kept the outpost running by selling the skins and pelts he obtained from the creatures which lived in the jungles of Port Haven, doling them out to the smugglers he most trusted. He also worked hard to keep the planet's location a secret, and was ruthless enough to eliminate a smuggler who even thought of selling the information to the Empire or a bounty hunter. (PSPG)

Halls of Healing
This was the name given to the hospital wing of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the final decades of the Old Republic. The actual halls were created with high ceilings and large windows that let in tremendous amounts of light. This light bathed the walls and floors, which were tiled with pastel-colored stone, and gave life to the many species of flowers and plants that were grown in various pots and urns. The abundance of light and the energy of the plants helped to draw beings closer to the Force when they entered the Halls of Healing, adding their energies to those of the healers who worked there. (CWWS)

Halmad
This planet was located in the Outer Rim Territories, and was just outside the area of the galaxy controlled by Warlord Zsinj during the early years of the New Republic. It was the site of a variety of mining colonies during the era of the Old Republic, with facilities on the planet, on its three moons, and situation among the asteroid surrounding it. However, about 100 years before the Battle of Endor, the mines ran dry and were abandoned. Commerce kept the planet's population intact, because Halmad was located at a nexus of several trade routes. Thus, it held some importance during the Galactic Civil War and the struggles between the New Republic and Zsinj. A small Imperial garrison was put in place, with a few TIE Fighters and, later, TIE Interceptors. The planet was chosen as the "proving ground" for the Hawk-bat pirates, who executed several successful pirate raids on the planet, including the theft of several TIE Interceptors from the Imperial installation. (IF)

Halmad Prime

Halsek, Gilad
This man served as the Imperial Consul-General of the planet Kothlis, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. A former minor official on Coruscant, Halsek managed to make enemies out of nearly everyone he came into contact with. He used his few political favors to get the position on Kothlis in order to get away from the Imperial court. He was completely loyal to the Empire, but was willing to allow the Bothans a measure of freedom in order to maintain his position. His infatuation with Liiria Beldonna led to his hiring of Beldonna's Legion as a force to keep Kothlis secure. It was during the war that Halsek was approached by Cecil Noone and his band of thieves, who wanted to sell a Hapan gun of command to him. Halsek wanted the weapon for himself, but wasn't willing to pay the price Noone was asking. He tried to have the thieves captured and the gun confiscated, but they managed to escape before his stormtroopers could stop them. (SPG, GMR1)

This humanoid race was characterized by its baboon-life facial features. The body of an Hamadryas individual was nearly hairless, although their skulls were covered with thick locks. The skin of an Hamadryas was often so dark that it appeared to be black. The few individual Hamadryas who were observed in the galaxy seemed to lack the need to blink, and were discovered to lack a true carotid artery. (SWDB, LF5)

Hamalcal, Davar
This primitive human was a hunter and scout native to the planet Kaellin III. During the Galactic Civil War, Alliance warships attacked an Imperial supply convoy near the planet, and an Imperial shuttle crashed on Kaellin III. The surviving stormtroopers mistook Hamalcal's people as savages. When the village elder tried to make peace, the stormtroopers murdered him then exterminated much of the village's population. Hamalcal managed to escape, and stowed away on an Alliance landing ship. He fled Kaellin III, and had been roaming the galaxy ever since. He was known as a barbarian and a loose cannon who cares little for technology. However, he does know the difference between the Empire and the Alliance, and took every opportunity to attack Imperial troopers with his trusty vibroaxe. (GG9)

Hamame, Vol
This man was, at one time, a member of Big Gizz's swoop gang on the planet Tatooine. He despised Spiker, and eventually split with the gang, although not on amicable terms. Hamame then went into the information business, primarily stealing what he couldn't obtain himself. Shortly after the death of Jabba the Hutt, Hamame also became a hired gun. Working with the alien Phedroi, they took many jobs in the city of Mos Eisley. The last job they took came as a result of Dengar's trying to alert Kuat of Kuat that Boba Fett was still alive. Hamame and Phedroi figured that they could kill the armored bounty hunter and reap a nice profit for delivery of his body. However, Fett and Dengar managed to elude them long enough to get a signal to Slave I. Hamame and Phedroi pinned the bounty hunters down in a small desert cave, but Fett brought his ship from orbit to land on top of them. (MA)

Haman, Gerta
This woman worked at the Jax Warehouse, on the planet Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. Gerta was also one of the founding members of the underground alliance that was formed to fight back against the Metatheran Cartel, in the years following the Battle of Naboo. She was the ostensible leader of the resistance, which she formed originally to ensure that the local Tarasin population was properly treated by the planetary leaders. Over time, especially in the wake of the Trade Federation's attempt to establish a presence on Cularin, Gerta expanded the scope of the resistance to fight against anything that threatened Cularin. Unfortunately, Gerta was believed to have been killed when the resistance tried to infiltrate the Cartel's offices in Gadrin. A transmitter had been placed in the computer slicing device her team was using, allowing the Cartel to monitor their actions. Gerta's death was not in vain, however, as it allowed the rest of her team to escape. Much to the surprise of many beings in the Cularin System, Gerta resurfaced during the height of the Clone Wars, when she agreed to be interviewed by Ryk Osentay for the Eye on Cularin newsfeed. Her interview was to be performed in such a way that her identity kept a secret, but was only allowed to expose her true nature. After she revealed the linkage between the Thaereian Military, the InterGalactic Banking Clan, and the Separatists, Gerta was brutally subdued and taken away by Thaereian military police. The ship which was transporting her back to Thaere was attacked by unknown assailants, and exploded before it could reach Thaere. (EOS2, LFCW)

Hamar-Chaktak
This Herglic was a wealthy merchant and sometime-supporter of the Alliance, but had no love for either the Alliance or the Empire. He was known to have a weakness for betting on cracian thumper races, and spent a great deal of time at the Heatherdowns Hotel and Track on Tallaan. Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, he agreed to help supply the Alliance with bacta, if a team of agents would meet him at the Heatherdowns. However, the only reason for offering to help was to sacrifice the team in order to collect insurance money on the ship he told them to steal - the Theta-2Y, a ship owned, in fact, by Hamar-Chaktak himself. Not only did Hamar-Chaktak hope to claim the lost bacta to receive an insurance payment, he hoped to actually sell the bacta to the Alliance later on, as well as ransom the team back to the Alliance. Unfortunately for Hamar-Chaktak, the Alliance team discovered his treachery and managed to avoid being captured. Hamar-Chaktak was forced to flee into hyperspace on his starship, the Crusader. (TSIA)

Hamarin Interface Band
This was one of the primary modules used to interface a computer uplink apparatus to a cyborg. (TT)

Hamaz
This Imperial officer was in charge of fleet operations near Kuat, when he was captured by the bounty hunter Xufal D'uat. The bounty called for the capture of an Alliance gunrunner, and D'uat ws amazed to discover that Hamaz was an Imperial. Hamaz bargained for his release, but D'uat insisted on having a recorded confession of Hamaz's crimes, in case the Imperial tried to have him killed. In the end, Hamaz did have D'uat killed, but he was unable to recover the recorded confession. (SS)

Hamelin
This man served the Alliance as one of the seniors Commanders of the base on Aargonar 3, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. After Aargonar 3 was lost to the Empire, Hamelin's forces were relocated to a remote asteroid base. He commanded a group of starfighter squadrons during this time, raiding Imperial convoys after the destruction of the first Death Star. (RESB)

Ha'mfoo
This verb from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "to burn." (GPB)

Hamiroz, Zaz
This man was one of the miners who traveled to the remains of Alderaan to search out valuable ores. He and Hanos Darr discovered that the existence of the Royal Palace of Alderaan amid the rubble was simply a rumor spread by Darth Vader himself, in an effort to lure Leia Organa back to Alderaan. Both Hamiroz and Darr were able to get to the herdship Bazaar, where they hoped to get a message off to the Alliance. Instead, they found themselves being tracked by the assassin droid XS3. (GA)

Hammax, Bijo
A Narvath member of the New Republic Intelligence agency, Bijo was a member of the Narvath resistance and a strong supporter of the Alliance. He was assigned to lead the assault team that would have penetrated the Teljkon vagabond, if Lando Calrissian hadn't gotten there first. (BTS)

Hammer
This Loronar Strike-class cruiser was part of the small fleet provided to Captain Vocis Kenit during his search for the Far Orbit. (FOP)

Hammer

This was the callsign of the Imperial repulsortank that was commanded by Sergeant Arbmab, during the Empire's mission to subjugate the planet Spuma. (ISB)

Hammer Group
This squadron of starfighters was assigned to the New Republic warship Ralroost, and assisted in rescuing Corran Horn, Jacen Solo, and Ganner Rhysode from Garqi. (DTR)

Hammer Squadron
This was a squadron of Imperial TIE Fighters active during the Galactic Civil War. (JKG)

Hammerhead
This was a derogatory term used to describe a member of the Ithorian race. (E4, DA)

Hammerhead
This was one of the most powerful capital ships of the Old Republic's naval forces, during the years leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. However, despite its firepower, the Hammerhead as a slow-moving vessel that required an escort to hold off enemy warships until it could get into position and bring its big guns to bear against the enemy's warships. (DBPD)

Hammerhead-class Cruiser
This 315-meter-long warship, distinguished by the blade-like projection on its bow, was produced by the Rendili/Vanjervalis Drive Yards, during the years following the Great Sith War. The design of the Hammerhead-class cruiser was based on the plans for the Praetorian-class frigate,albeit on a much larger scale. The configuration of its forward sections, when the ship was viewed from one side or the other, gave the ship its distinctive hammer-like shape. The ship's main drives were located at the rear of the vessel, with one engine pod located on each side of the stern.

Despite its size, the Hammerhead-class cruiser was capable of landing on a planet's surface, making it a carrier as well as a warship. Its weapons systems included four double turbolaser batteries, a pair of medium turbolaser batteries, two laser cannon batteries, and a tractor beam generator. Each of these ships required a crew of 300 to operate, and could accommodate up to 400 passengers and 4,000 metric tons of cargo. The ship's primary hangars were equipped to carry twelve Aurek starfighters and a pair of Ministry-class shuttles. However, its onboard data and computing systems were considered minimal for a ship of its size and mission profile, requiring that Hammerhead-class cruisers were to be coordinated by another command vessel, such as the Inexpugnable-class tactical command vessel.

Although Rendili claimed that the Hammerhead-class cruiser was developed to serve as an escort for the Inexpugnable-class Tactical Command Ship, its lack of computing power prompted many military insiders to state that the "Inexies" were only produced to sell more Hammerhead-class cruisers. Note that the Wizards of the Coast web site indicates that this ship was produced by Rendili Hyperworks. (KORH, WOTC)

Hammertong Project
This was the codename of the development project assigned the task of upgrading the primary laser cannons used to form the superlasers for the Death Star projects. Hammertong was begun during the final stages of the Clone Wars, when Chancellor Palpatine secretly dispatched the 501st Legion to Mygeeto to acquire an experimental power source. Some time before the Battle of Yavin, the project was going to move its base. The scientists hoped to enlist Manda D'ulin's Mistryls to help keep the base secure, but the Empire didn't like the idea. It killed Manda and Pav D'armon when they attempted to enter the base. However, Shada D'ukal and the surviving Mistryls managed to steal the laser cannons and carry it to Tatooine. (TME, SWDB, DSTR)

Hammertree
This Alliance Intelligence agent gave his life to obtain information on the whereabouts of Han Solo's carbonite-frozen body, some months after the Battle of Hoth. (MC67)

Hamner, Kenth
As a young man, this Corellian was a student at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Kenth was born to wealthy parents, and was tall and well-built. Prior to his Jedi training, Hamner had been a member of the Corellian Defense Force, but resigned his commission to follow the Force. He later joined the New Republic military as a strategist, and earned the rank of Colonel. After the Battle of Fondor, Hamner became the voice of the Jedi Knights within the New Republic military, but was unable to get any real results with the military because of the Republic's general lack of resources. His efforts were further impeded by Viqi Shesh's duplicitous relationship with the Yuuzhan Vong, claiming that SELCORE resources were better used on other worlds. As the war against the Yuuzhan Vong continued, it was Kenth who discovered that the Senate, under the auspices of Borsk Fey'lya, had issued a warrant for the arrest of Luke Skywalker. Kenth warned Luke and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, about the impending arrest, allowing them time to escape from Coruscant.

In the months that followed, Kenth served as the official liaison between the Jedi and the New Republic, working to help the Jedi receive aid and authorization to continue the fight against the alien invaders. For his efforts during the struggles that surrounded the Second Battle of Coruscant, Kenth was elevated to the rank of Jedi Master. When the Galactic Alliance was formed on Calamari by Cal Omas, Kenth was appointed as one of the Jedi to serve on the Advisory Council established by Omas. As the war ground on, Kenth found himself the nominal leader of the Jedi Knights when Luke and Mara set out to locate the living planet of Zonama Sekot. When they failed to return, or even to send word of their situation, Kenth began to worry. After intelligence from now-captured Coruscant revealed that the Yuuzhan Vong Prophet, Yu'shaa, had returned from Zonama Sekot, Hamner gathered the remaining Jedi leaders together to plan a mission to Coruscant. There, they hoped to gain an audience with the Prophet to learn what they could of the events on Zonama Sekot.

Hamner continued to serve as a voice of reason on the Jedi Council, and it was he and Corran Horn who asked Saba Sebatyne to speak at the funeral of Mara Jade Skywalker. As the war against The Confederation ground on, Hamner agreed to take command of the Dark Sword Squadron of starfighters, during the Galactic Alliance's defense of Kuat. In the wake of the Second Galactic Civil War, Kenth was forced to assume the role of the governing Master of the Order when Grand Master Skywalker was arrested on a number charged that stemmed from Jacen Solo's reign of terror. Hamner agreed to this position, recognizing that Luke planned to return as Grand Master when his sentence was completed. He did everything within his to make sure that Luke had everything he needed for his exile, and went so far as to secure forty-three years' worth of back pay - since Luke had never taken a credit for serving as the leader of the Jedi - to fund his travel plans. One of the first things Master Hamner did while leading the Order was to allow a video documentary team to travel along with two Jedi Masters, in an effort to help shore the public image of the Jedi. Master Octa Ramis agreed to serve as the subject of the documentary, and Kyp Durron agreed to serve as a technical advisor.

However, the sudden onset of a strange Force psychosis that affected many young Jedi Knights put an incredible strain on the Jedi Order, since these young Jedi went on rampages in public spaces where they were filmed by various news crews. Although the damaged caused by these Jedi was often minimal, reporters took their actions and twisted them to take advantage of the galaxy's fear of another Jacen Solo rising to power. Chief of State Natasi Daala's limited view of the Jedi and the Force only added to the problem, as she moved swiftly to encase any rogue Jedi in carbonite in order to remove them from the public eye. Hamner did his best to manage relations with the Galactic Alliance, but the secret actions of an handful of Jedi nearly undermined his own actions. Jaina Solo and a small team had managed to capture Seff Hellin and retutn him to the Jedi Temple, where Master Cilghal was able to investigate his own form of psychosis. When word of Hellin's capture leaked to the media, Hamner was forced to explain what the Jedi were doing, and he was angry that Cilghal had kept Hellin's capture a secret. He was even more upset when Chief of State Daala demanded an audience with him, then demanded that the Jedi Order submit itself for an open interview with Javis Tyrr. Hamner could do nothing but agree to Daala's demands, especially when the Chief of State threatened to enter the Jedi Temple and take any prisoners the government saw fit to incarcerate.

Hamner's position with the Galactic Alliance only deteriorated when Jedi Knights Natua Wan, Bazel Warv, and Yaqeel Saav'etu experienced Force psychoses, and apprentices Melari Ruxon and Reeqo abandoned the Jedi Order in protest. With the Order apparently crumbling around him, Master Hamner assumed the title of Grand Master and the request of the Jedi Council, as much to establish a leadership presence for the Jedi Order as to put a more strategic face on his relationship with Chief of State Daala.

Hamner Heavy Ores
This Jante mining operation maintained a base in orbit around Rett II, until it was attacked and overtaken by Freda military ships. (SWJ9)

Hamnet
This minor crimelord was active during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Hamnet's success was due in large part to the fact that he managed to maintain the outward appearance of a successful, legitimate businessman. Hamnet was distinguished by his expensive clothes and trappings, as he was always taking advantage of the ease that came from his personal wealth and success. Hamnet also lavished his attention on his twelve-year-old daughter, Icomia. Never one to get his hands too dirty, Hamnet left much of his dirty work to his bodyguard, Wesson DeLameter. Hamnet was among the handful of beings who tried to obtain the secret plans to an Imperial virus, which were auctioned off by Hakon de Ville on Ananuru. (CH72)

Hamnet, Icomia
This spoiled twelve-year-old was the daughter of the minor crimelord Hamnet, who doted on her every whim and fancy. What Icomia wanted, Icomia always got. (CH72)

Hamogoni
This tree, which was native to the planet Woteba, was noted for its immense size. It was not uncommon for a hamogoni tree to grow to heights that eclisped many skyscrapers, and have a trunk diameter of twenty meters or more. After the planet Woteba was designated as a new home for the hives of the Colony, the Killiks began harvesting hamogoni trees for their dense, fragrant wood. It was believed that the harvesting of hamogoni wood by the Killiks was one of the reasons behind the appearance of the Fizz. (DN2)

Hampton
This freighter was stationed near Mytus VII, supplying the Corporate Sector prison with needed materials and foodstuffs, during the height of the New Order. A group of imprisoned Alliance personnel stowed away on the freighter and were rescued when it was intercepted by the Alliance shuttle Mercy, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. (XW, XWP)

Hamud, Osaf
This being was a noted scientist of the Old Republic who wrote a series of documents examining the lifecycle of the orbalisk. His paper An Examination and Exploration of a Most Dangerous and Resilient Organism, provided knowledge of how these creatures could be removed from a being's body. One of the only copies of this document was stored in the Jedi Archives, and was eventually discovered by Zannah, during her search for ways to help her Master, Darth Bane, overcome the orbalisks that had infected his body. (DBRT)

Han
This was a common component used to create the names given to Cerean males. In general, male Cereans given an individual name, which was added to the names of their father and grandfather. Complete male names were arranged based on harmony and cadence, but the literal meanings were arranged to ensure proper descriptions. The name Han was an archaic one, indicating chivalry, or a rider or knight. (GCG)

This was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Han
This was one of the most common male names among the Corellian population. (GMR9)

Han Solo and the Pirates of Kessel
This was one of the many fictional holothrillers that were produced during the months following the Battle of Endor. Its story was loosely based on the life of Han Solo, but the plot did not chronicle any real-life event. These kinds of holothrillers were mass-produced after the destruction of the second Death Star, taking advantage of the popularity of the heroes of the Galactic Civil War (LSSM)

Han Solo and the Rapid Response Task Force
This was the fictional name of a holothriller that was made up by Han Solo, during a discussion he had with Luke Skywalker about the obviously-false content of the holovids that were being produced about the heroes of the Galactic Civil War, during months that followed the Battle of Endor. Holothrillers like Luke Skywalker and the Dragons of Tatooine were produced in large numbers, drawing on the popularity of Luke, Han, and Leia Organa. The plots and many of the things portrayed in these holothrillers were fictionalized, in an effort to make them more exciting and marketable. When Luke accepted the leadership of the New Republic's Rapid Response Task Force, Han remarked that he had been told by Admiral Ackbar that, if Luke hadn't accepted the role, then Han would have had to do it. Han, who enjoyed the fact that he was the star of several holothrillers, told Luke that Han Solo and the Rapid Response Task Force just wasn't exciting enough for a holothriller. (LSSM)

Han Solo Associated, Limited
This was the name of the collections agency dreamed up by Han Solo as a ruse to keep from telling Roa his current status, when the two ran into each other on Bonadan several years before the Battle of Yavin. The inspiration for it was due in part to the appearance of Spray, who had ostensibly been sent to collect on a debt owed by Han. (HSR)

Han Solo in the Lair of the Space Slugs
This was one of the many fictional holothrillers that were produced during the months following the Battle of Endor. Its story was loosely based on the life of Han Solo, but the plot did not chronicle any real-life event. These kinds of holothrillers were mass-produced after the destruction of the second Death Star, taking advantage of the popularity of the heroes of the Galactic Civil War (LSSM)

Hanadak
A large, boar-like beast inhabiting the forests of Endor's primary moon, the hanadak was a carnivorous creature standing about three meters at the shoulder, with a menacing snout and huge black claws. The Ewoks claimed that the hanadaks were controlled by the giant Gorax. Individual hanadaks were known to develop specific tastes in prey, and many have been known to hunt for certain races of sentient beings. Hanadaks were sometimes captured and used in gladiator events, although the capture or possession of a hanadak was illegal in many sectors of the galaxy. (EA, ANT)

Hanare, Ronar
This was one of the aliases used by Obi-Wan Kenobi during his mission to Bellassa, about a year after the end of the Clone Wars. The alias of Ronar Hanare was provided to him by Wil Asani and the members of the Eleven, as a way for him to gain access to the spaceport in Ussa and obtain a vessel with which to locate Ferus Olin. Hanare was a businessman from Raed-7, and was working on the pipeline outside Ussa. As part of the alias, the Eleven maintained a Deep-X Explorer at the Ussa spaceport, which Obi-Wan was able to reclaim and take to the Arno region to locate Ferus. (LJ1)

Hanast, Honarius
This man was part of the group of Kooroo pilgrims who traveled to Gelgelar, unaware that one of their number was actually a bounty hunter. Hanast alerted the captain of the starship which brought them to Gelgelar of the disappearance of Gudren Lagarian and Dorius Drevin, and it was the ships' crew who found Lagarian's body and discovered Drevin's true nature. (PSPG)

Hanava
The wood of this fruit-bearing tree was known to have once been the primary food source of the greddleback termite. It was believed that an undeclared shipment of hanava fruit carried a small group of greddlebacks to the planet Bethal, where they ravaged the apocia tree population. (SWJ4, OWS)

Hanchin
This gas giant was located in the Moddell Sector of the galaxy. (GMR9)

Hanchin-set
This was the term used by the natives of the moon of Mina to describe the brief period of night that occurred on those rare occasions that some part of Mina's surface was not bathed in the light of the planet Hanchin. One such Hanchin-set occurred at mid-winter, when the Vashan bodhis coughed up their sin-bullets. (GMR9)

Hanco
This man was one of the many sargheet farmers who suffered through the economic hard times that befell the planet Dagro, during the height of the Clone Wars. A friend of Kirlan Swens, Hanco was one of the many farmers who directly confronted Obi-Wan Kenobi about the lack of support from the Old Republic during this time, when the Jedi was on the planet to investigate the presence of a Separatist base there. However, after he witnessed Obi-Wan actively stripping sargheet crop stubble, he decided that the Jedi was worthy of their support. Hanco was one of the farmers who helped Obi-Wan and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, located a destroy the last crawl-carrier before it could eliminate a village. (SWI76, SWI77)

Hand
This was the term used by Chancellor Palpatine to describe those Republic Intelligence agents who reported directly to himself. (RC66)

Hand, Pyr
This black-haired, pale-skinned man was a member of Requiem Squadron, serving under Antar Roat. A Captain, Pyr was nicknamed "Klick" because he was a dead shot from a kilometer or more. Pyr was actually Corran Horn in disguise, as part of Ysanne Isard's plan to infiltrate Prince-Admiral Krennel's forces and bring about his destruction. (IR)

Hand Claws
see Climbing Claws (HG)

Hand of Judgment
This was the appellation adopted by Daric LaRone, Joak Quiller, and their fellow stormtroopers, after the abandoned their posts aboard the Reprisal and set off on their own. Although they remained loyal to the basic tenets of the Empire, they refused to serve under officers who killed innocent civilians to achieve their mission goals. Thus, when the opportunity presented itself, they stole Major Dreflin's Suwantek TL-1800 freighter and set out to do what they could to make the galaxy a better place. One of their first stops was on the planet Ranklinge, where they helped the townspeople of Janusar overthrow Patroller Chief Cav'Saran. When asked what outfit they were with, LaRone told the townspeople that they were the Hand of Judgment.

Although the name stuck with the, the stormtroopers tried to avoid using it, in order to deflect attention from who they really were. This worked for several weeks, until they were intercepted by Mara Jade on Shelkonwa, during their mutual investigations into Imperial ties to the BloodScar Pirates. Jade commandeered them to assist in capturing the criminal Caaldra, and they were forced to use the Hand of Judgment as their unit name. Jade eventually learned that the five stormtroopers had deserted their posts on the Reprisal, but she also recognized that they were still loyal to the basic tenets of the Empire. She went so far as to claim the Hand of Judgment as her own special detachment when questioned by Darth Vader himself, ensuring that the stormtroopers would not have to face an Imperial court-martial.

With her mission completed, Jade gave the five stormtroopers their freedom. However, she told them to abandon the Hand of Judgment nickname, lest it bring on another Imperial investigation. In her own words, there was only one Hand in the Empire, and it was she who was the Emperor's Hand. (A)

Hand of Solitude
This was one of the leaders of the Solitude militant group, active on Corellia during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Hand of Thrawn
This was the codename of the hidden fortress maintained by a contingent of Chiss on Nirauan. Grand Admiral Thrawn had left a large number of his race behind with distinct orders to await his return ten years after his departure. It was set up some twenty years before Thrawn's first reign of terror. The caves and tunnels beneath the fortress were lined with cortosis ore, and a large population of ysalamiri were imported, in order to protect the compound from the new crop of Jedi Knights. During the intervening time, they kept a huge assortment of weapons and warships armed and ready for his return. The existence of the fortress - which had five large towers, and resembled an up-turned hand - was kept secret until the New Republic discovered a cache of Imperial datacards on Wayland, at Mount Tantiss. A card entitled "The Hand of Thrawn" was unreadable, however. Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade managed to discover the location of Nirauan after backtracking the trails of ships which attacked them at Kauron. Mara was captured there, and Luke returned to rescue her. They were able to escape from the fortress and provide the Republic with information on its whereabouts. (VOF)

Hand of Thrawn, The
This was the title of one of the datacards discovered by Lak Jit near the bear of Mount Tantiss. It referred to the hidden base of the Chiss, which was a heavily-guarded fortress with five upraised towers that gave it the impression of a hand. It was located on the planet Nirauan. (SOP, VOF)

Hand Pot
This was the name given to the smaller collection of credits which were anted up at the beginning of each sabacc round. The player with the best hand would win the pot. The hand pot was kept separated from the sabacc pot, which was reserved for the winner of the overall match. (HTTE, VOF)

Hand Pot, The
This was one of the smaller casinos found in the Westrex district of Efavan, on the planet Vorzyd 5. Like the other casinos in Efavan, the Hand Pot was located along the Casino Line. (GORW)

Handa
This ancient Cathar was a Jedi Master, and was believed to have been Githany's first teacher, during the years leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. Master Handa trained Githany along with Kiel Charny, who was a year older than Githany. It was Master Handa who taught Githany how to reconnect with the Force, after she lost her way during her training. Through a combination of gentle, massaging pressure and the prodding of the Force, Handa was able to make Githany see the true power of the Force, if only for the brief period while they were in contact. Githany later used the same technique to help Bane recover his connection to the Dark Side of the Force, just prior to the Battle of Ruusan. (DBPD)

Handler
This subnode, a twin to the subnode Docker, was generated by Kud'ar Mub'at to coordinate the landing of ships carrying visitors to the assembler's web. (MA)

Handmaiden Sisters
This group of Force-sensitive women were once students of the Jedi Order, during the years following the Great Sith War. Many of the members of the Handmaiden Sisters lacked any formal training, and some believed that they were the surviving members of the Echani Handmaidens. Others were unable to fully tap into the Force, which gave them the advantage of "hiding in plain sight" during the years following the Mandalorian Wars. However, in the wake of the Jedi Civil War, they were exiled to Telos, in order to preserve the teachings of the Jedi. They brought with them a wealth of artifacts and various holocrons and other recorded lessons, hoping that their remoteness would save them if the Jedi Order were to disappear. Led by Atris, the Handmaiden Sisters established a training facility beneath the northern polar icecap of Telos, well away from prying eyes. In addition to their training with the Force, the Handmaiden Sisters were also well-versed in the Echani martial arts. (KOTOR2)

Handooine
This planet was located near Jabiim. (SWI68)

Handree
This Alliance gunship was stationed on the planet Isis, from which it brought medical supplies to the guerillas on Polmanar. It was hijacked by the downed Imperial survey crew of the Wanderer and taken to the Bespin System. There, the Imperials hoped to expose Isis, but were intercepted by Alliance agents. (IC)

Handrex
When translated into Basic, this Bocce term meant "throttle". (GPB)

Hands-Free
This was the brand name of a series of comlinks manufactured by VargeCorp. They were designed to fit over the ear, allowing the user to communicate without holding a comlink in their hands. (PSG)

Handy
This friend of Allania Jakien was with her when she escaped from Cloud City. (MTS)

Hang Glider
The stick-and-hide framework that the Ewoks use as a mode of transportation, it allows them to 'fly' on currents of air. They use a catapult-like device to launch the gliders from cliffs. (E6, EA)

Hangar 9
This starship storage and maintenance facility was located on the planet Coruscant, in the CoCo District, during the last years of the Old Republic. Hangar 9 was one of the few such facilities that actually advertised their services for storing "shipments" and bypassing the normal parking measures required on the planet. (HNN5)

Hangar 9C
This was one of the many starship constructoin facilities found in the Allanteen VI shipyards. (CWWS)

Hangar Hunters
This loose gang of bounty hunters and their supporters was active during the era of the Galactic Civil War. The Hangar Hunters were named for their main base of operations, which was located in the ruins of an ancient flight hangar. The gang was one of several rival groups that accepted a bounty to track down a rogue Imperial E522 assassin droid, sometime after the Battle of Yavin. (SWMW)

Hanging Gardens
This garden was the pride and joy of Lady Bathos of House Cadriaan, and was located within the boundaries of Alaphoe Gardens. Rare and exotic flowers from over 100 different worlds hung from trellises and grew from flowerbeds. (LOE)

Hanging Moss Village
This Ewok village, located in an isolated part of the Forest Moon of Endor, was noted for its cruel and vicious inhabitants. Unlike most other Ewoks, who were inquisitive and friendly, the natives of Hanging Moss Village liked to set devilish traps and torment the creatures they caught. Many stories surrounded the natives of Hanging Moss Village, among them the possibility that the tribal chief and the village shaman were under the influence of the Dark Side of the Force. (GORW)

Hanging Valley
This icy-filled valley was located on the planet Hoth, just to the west of the Clabburn Range. It marked the southern boundary of the North Ridge, and the eastern boundary of the Cirque Glacier. (IWST)

Hangman's Tree
This tree, native to the jungles of Ithor, was named for the way in which it used its tendril-like branches to grasp a creature around the neck and draw it upwards, strangling the creature to death. The tree would then exude a chemical into the body of its prey that would start the digestive process, allowing the tendrils to literally absorb the prey through its bark. (MIS7)

Hangover-stop
This was a common name for the drug sinthenol. (MJH)

Hanharr
This evil Wookiee was one of the many beings who joined the allies of the Sith, hunting down the surviving Jedi Knights and turning them over to Goto during the years following the Jedi Civil War. During the Mandalorian Wars, the forces of the Czerka Corporation arrived on Kashyyyk, Hanharr correctly surmised that they were not there for pleasantries. When he saw that kinraths were being used to hunt down Wookiees, Hanharr made a fateful decision. Rather than allowing his tribe to be captured and enslaved, he killed them all with his own hands. Starting with the youngest, Hanharr killed every Wookiee he could find, believing that death would be better than slavery. Czerka's forces saw what he had done and quickly captured him, taking him away but keeping him away from the rest of the slaves. Years later, he was freed from slavery by the bounty hunter Mira, and Hanharr was forced to acknowledge the life-debt he owed her. However, he resented the fact that he owed his life to a human, especially when it was humans who had caused him to kill his own tribe. Thus, he set out to eliminate Mira and remove the life-debt. To this end, he trained as a warrior, to become part of the forces that were augmenting the growing power of the Sith. On Nar Shaddaa, he was forced to fight against another bounty hunter, Mira, who had joined the group following The Exile. Although he was vastly stronger than the younger female, Hanharr lacked her agility and cunning, and fell to her in one-on-one combat. This time, Mira wasn't willing to spare his life, and Hanharr was finally freed of his life-debt. (KOTOR2)

Hannad, Kile
This man was one of Emperor Palpatine's Royal Imperial Guards, and was one of the few that survived the death of his clones on Byss. When the Guards returned to Yinchorr to meet with the Guard to discuss their future, they were exterminated by Carnor Jax. Hannad and Kir Kanos remained alive after the assault, but knew that one of them had to escape to exact revenge on Jax. They flipped a coin, and Hannad's fate was sealed. He held off Jax's troops long enough for Kanos to escape, but was eventually overwhelmed by the opposition and was killed. (CE)

Ha'Nook, Jannie
This woman represented her homeworld of Glithnos in the Galactic Senate, during the height of the Clone Wars. She was known for her independent mind, and the fact that she was among the first to vote Chancellor Palpatine the emergency powers he needed to create the Grand Army of the Republic. During her tenure, Senator Ha'Nook served as a senior members of the Security and Intelligence Council, a role that put her regular contact with Palpatine, who grew to trust her judgment and value her input. She was distinguished by the way she twisted a lock of her hair around a finger when was processing information. When the Intergalatic Communications Center on Praesitlyn was attacked by the Separatists, Senator Ha'Nook was approached by an anonymous being who offered her a full ambassadorship if she agreed to vote for sending reinforcements to Praesitlyn. Senator Ha'Nook believed she had everything to gain by voting for the reinforcements, unaware that the anonymous being was actually Sly Moore, who was working to ensure Palpatine received enough votes to launch the mission. (JT)

Hanoon
This asteroid, originally known as Geddes, was renamed when the Empire took control of the rock. Located near the planet Krant, in the Both System, Hanoon was terraformed by the Empire during the early years of the New Order. It was believed that Echuu Shen-Jon destroyed the Vor'Na'Tu here, sometime after the rise of Emperor Palpatine. (GB)

Hanpat
This was a form of incendiary chemical that was developed by the Killiks of the Colony. It was loaded into spheres of wax and flung at enemy positions. The waxy spheres, known as burnballs, ruptured on impact, spraying hanpat over a large area, where it ignited upon contact with the surrounding air. (DN3)

Hans, Geordi
This native of Tatooine was abandoned by his parents at the age of six. He hitched a ride into Mos Eisley, and was quickly swindled out of any savings her had. Over the years, Geordi had picked up the surprising ability to repair any speeder, and was given a steady job by Unut Poll at Spaceport Speeders. He keeps Poll's merchandise in top condition, allowing Poll to charge a higher price. In his spare time, Geordi was a member of the Farns. (GG7)

Hansel
This Romin male worked as a security officer on his homeworld of Romin, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Deputy Hansel worked directly for Roy Teda himself, and often accompanied prospective visitors during their stay. When Obi-Wan Kenobi and Siri Tachi arrived on Romin with their apprentices, Anakin Skywalker and Ferus Olin, Hansel was ordered by Teda to follow the young Padawans when they traveled alone to the outer circles of the city of Eliior. He claimed to be simply be delivering an invitation to a reception. The party took place the next day, but it was during the party that Joylin and the Citizens' Resistance launched their rebellion. In the midst of the fighting, Hansel was captured by the rebels and held prisoner, and was to be the first among Teda's forces to be executed until Teda turned himself in for trial. After Teda was captured, Joylin called off the executions. (JQ8)

Hansen FeatherTouch
This tractor beam unit was capable of amazingly fine operations. They can harmlessly pull a bird out of mid-flight, or rip a small freighter to pieces. The FeatherTouch was turret-mounted, allowing it to be used in a multitude of configurations. (TA)

Hansh
This man and his comrade, Lergan, were brutally murdered by Darth Bane, in the wake of the Battle of Ruusan. Hansh and Lergan were part of a mercenary unit that lent its support to the Brotherhood of Darkness, but they lacked any connection to the Force. Thus, they were able to survive the detonation of the thought bomb. Hansh 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, immolating their bodies in Force lightning. Two other mercenaries, Pad and Derrin, were sliced to piece by the Sith Lord's lightsaber. The surviving mercenaries were allowed to escape, in order to carry the message of Darth Bane's survival. (DBRT)

Hanson Mining Consolidated
This consortium of mining operations was based on the planet Neona, which it owned, and mined ores from the planet's sea floor. HMC scouts were the first corporation to scout the planet, noting the rich natural resources hidden beneath its oceans. HMC later partnered with Aquatic Ecosystems, Incorporated, to exploit the planet's fish species as food sources. (PGT, LOE)

Hansor, Madrix
This man was the leader of Hansor's Hooligans, a team of gladiator walker fighters active during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Madrix himself had a long-standing grudge against Demelza Mintori and Demelza's Destructors. Both men were members of the Imperial Army. During a battle in the Dalcrettu System, Mintori was unable (or refused) to help Hansor's platoon, which had been pinned down by rebels. Although they eventually managed to escape, Hansor and his squadmates hated Mintori's team from that point onward. Hansor himself vowed revenge against Mintori, and took it out on the gladiator walker fields. After a series of draws were fought, Hansor and his team took up residence in Sedratis City, the home base of Demelza's Destructors, and dared Mintori's team to answer the challenge. (GFT)

Hansor's Hooligans
This was the name of the gladiator walker fighting team led by Madrix Hansor, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GFT)

Hant, Slej
This man served the Empire as a First Lieutenant in the armed forces. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Hant was chosen by Darth Vader to carry out a series of missions to seek out information about the growing Rebellion against the Empire. A key piece of information that Vader wanted was the identity of the man who had destroyed the first Death Star. One lead took Hant into the Subterrel Sector of the galaxy. (RF3)

Hantaq, Dab
This boy and his family were confronted by Viqi Shesh, during the evacuation of Coruscant which took place when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the planet. Senator Shesh, on the run from the law, was trying to track down Han and Leia Organa Solo, and needed to be part of a refugee family in order to get close to them. Shesh took Dab as her "son," Tarc, in order to gain Leia's confidence; in return for Dab's "services," Shesh ensured that his family escaped from Coruscant. Shesh claimed that she and Tarc were refused passage aboard the fleeing transports, and pleaded to be allowed to flee Coruscant aboard the Millennium Falcon. When the ruse was revealed and Senator Shesh was forced to flee, Dab was taken into custody by the Solos. He was pleased to learn that his real family made it off Coruscant aboard the Wicked Pleasure. Note that Enemy Lines II: Rebel Stand indicates that Tarc did not know if his parents survived the Second Battle of Coruscant or not. Once on Borleias, realizing that he believed in what the Solos - and the rest of Wedge Antilles' Inner Circle - were trying to accomplish, he renounced his given name and simply went by the name Tarc.

Over time, he found work as a documentarian within the newly-formed Galactic Alliance, and he once again adopted the name Dab Hantaq. When he matured into a yong man, Dab found that many beings spoke of his resemblance to Anakin Solo, a trait that made him the perfect person to serve as Jaina Solo's government-appointed observer, some three years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. While Dab seemed to shrug it off, Jaina knew that Chief of State Natasi Daala had manged to have Dab assigned to her in an attempt to keep her off-guard. In order to make his appearance seem more official, Dab was given the rank of Alliance Marshall. This did little to mollify Jaina, who did her best to avoid Dab at all times, checking in only when absolutely required. Dab's resemblance to Anakin Solo caused great distress for Tahiri Veila, who argued that she would never return to the Jedi Order while Dab was still an observer, fearing that he would be assigned to her instead of Jaina. However, despite his role, Dab found that his training as a documentary would not allow him to simply accept the Galactic Alliance's stance regarding the Jedi, and he often allowed Jaina to go off on her own at times. Once of these times turned out to be the capture of Seff Hellin, which Dab conveniently ignored, even when Captain Oric Harfard arrived at the Jedi Temple to demand Hellin's release. Dab kept his mouth shut about Jaina's absense at the time of the capture, earning him a measure of respect from Jaina. (SBS, EL2, FJ1)

Hante
This man worked at the smuggling outpost at Merich's Bend, on the third moon of Aurea, during the Galactic Civil War. Hante was one of the many smugglers at Merich's Bend who secretly worked for the Alliance, supplying weapons and supplies to the Core and the Expansion Region. (SWJ15)

Hanther, Tinian
This woman served the Old Republic as an officer of the Department of Health during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. An expert in the areas of plant-borne contagious and diseases, Tinian was assigned to the Intelligence agency just after the Battle of Geonosis. For her first mission, Tinian was assigned to the team dispatched to rescue Edbit Teeks from the planet Tarhassan. Like most of the rest of the team, Tinian was a rookie, and relied more on her bureaucratic training than her gut instincts. She proved to be a better improvisor than her fellow rookies when she agreed to help Joram Kithe infiltrate the Nehass prison facility to rescue Teeks. Tinian pretended to be a guard, transferring Joram from the facility in Dandahass. Despite the injury to Tuhm, the rescue attempt was eventually successful, and Teeks was returned to Coruscant for debriefing. (SWI73, OWS)

Many Xi Charrians believed that the creation and manufacture of complex or intricate machinery was a way for them to obtain a small glimpse of what waited for them after death. (NEGD)

Haor Chall Engineering
This Xi Char starshipwright produced the huge C-9979 landing ships used by Trade Federation war fleets. Haor Chall Engineering only employed the most skilled of the Xi Charrians, who believed that their intricate handiwork was a constant reminder of the complex and spiritual paradise they believed waited for them in the afterlife. (X1, NEGD)

Hapan
This was the name used to describe the humans which were native to the planet Hapes. They differ from normal humans in two ways. First, they were considered quite handsome and beautiful as a race. Second, they were unable to see well in the dark because of the fact that the planet Hapes was continually bathed in light, either from its sun or from the seven moons that orbit the planet. As a people, Hapans had a deep-seated hatred of the Jedi, which sprang from the destruction of the Lorell Raiders. When the Yuuzhan Vong invadedthe galaxy, the Hapans were among the first beings to support the work of the Peace Brigade, as their anti-Jedi sentiments came to the fore. (CTD, DJ)

Hapan
This was the native language of the Hapan people. (EGP)

Hapan Ale
A mildly-intoxicating beverage brewed in the Hapes cluster. (HTF)

Hapan Battle Armor
Highly-polished black armor with silver trim, it was worn by the cyborg warriors from Charubah. (CPL)

Hapan Battle Dragon
These huge, red-hued, saucer-shaped capital ships were armed with forty ion cannons, forty turbolasers, dorsal- and ventral-mounted triple ion gun batteries, ten proton torpedo launchers, a tractor beam projector, and four pulse-mass generator tubes. This was not a large amount of firepower for such a large ship, and Battle Dragons had to work in concert to throw up a wall of energy against their enemies. Early versions lacked sophisiticated targetting computers, and could only select a single target at any given time. This, coupled with the notoriously slow recharge rate of Hapan-built turbolasers, meant that weapons crews often relied on their ion cannons and pulse-mass generators to keep an enemy vessel at bay and in realspace until the turbolasers could be brought to bear again. These deficiencies were later addressed with more modern technology.

The average Hapan Battle Dragon measured about 600 meters in diameter, and was formed from two circular main sections that were linked by sixteen rotation support struts. The triple ion gun batteries rotated freely around the edge of the hull, allowing fresh cannons to fire while the other recharge. These ships had hangar space for three squadrons of Miy'til fighters, but many often carried a complement of X-Wings. There were sixty-three Battle Dragons at any time in the Hapan fleet, one representing each of the sixty-three Hapan star system that contained life-supporting planets.

The Hapan Battle Dragon was produced by Olanji/Charubah, at the direction of the Hapan royal family. Each Battle Dragon had enough space to accommodate a crew of 1,200, 190 additional gunners, and up to 500 troops, as well as cargo space for up to 6,000 metric tons of cargo and supplies. Note that Starships of the Galaxy - Saga Edition indicates that the Hapan Battle Dragon had a main crew of 12,000. In the wake of the Battle of Fondor, the New Republic provided the Hapans with up-to-date turbolaser technology, allowing them to replace the aging energy weapons of the Battle Dragon. This made the Battle Dragon a much more effective force in a starfight. (CPL, EGV, CTD, DW, SSOG)

Hapan Cluster
see Hapes Cluster (CTD)

Hapan Consortium
This starship manufacturer was owned and controlled by the Hapan royal family. Their designs rarely left the Hapes Cluster, and were considered inferior to most Imperial or Republic ships in terms of power generators and weapons systems. (EGV)

Hapan Consortium
This was another name for the Hapes Consortium. (LF6)

Hapan Home Fleet
This was the name given to the fleet of Hapan Battle Dragons that protected the planet Hapes and the surrounding area of space. In times of crisis, the Home Fleet was often augmented by warships from the various royal houses of he Hapes Consortium. This tradition was broken during the Galactic Alliance's war against The Confederation, when the so-called Heritage Fleet was formed by the royals of the Heritage Council to attack Hapes and dethrone the reigning Queen Mother, Tenel Ka. Thanks to support from the Galactic Alliance's navy, the Home Fleet was able to defeat the Heritage Fleet, thereby keeping Tenel Ka on the throne.

However, despite this victory, the Hapan Home Fleet was unable to regain much strength before Tenel Ka agreed to turn control of the fleet over to Jacen Solo, provided that Jacen make peace with Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker. Solo believed that The Confederation was massing for an attack on Kuat, and needed the additional ships to help defend the Alliance's holdings in the system, so he agreed to her demands. Tenel Ka reluctantly accepted Jacen's deal, but was later forced to change her mind after learning of Jacen's treacherous actions. In the wake of the Battle of Kuat and the Second Battle of Fondor, Tenel Ka supplied the Hapan Home Fleet to the growing number of forces that supported the Jedi Coalition. After Prince Isolder was captured by Darth Caedus near Nova Station while trying to rescue Ben Skywalker, Tenel Ka took the entire Hapan Home Fleet to defend the hidden Jedi base on Shedu Maad.

The plan was to draw Caedus' fleets down through The Throat to an ambush, but the battle quickly called for adjustments. The Megador managed to move into a position that allowed it and a group of Imperial Remnant warships to trap the Hapan Home Fleet up against Uroro Station, during which time they unleashed a nanokiller virus on the Dragon Queen. With the presumed death of Tenel Ka, Ducha Requud tried to assume the position of Queen Mother, hoping to gain the strength of the Imperial forces to aid in her take-over bid. (LF3, LF6, LF9)

Hapan Intelligence Service
This was the primary information and intelligence gathering agency of the Hapan government. Although funded by the government, the Hapan Intelligence Service was available to both military and civilian personnel as well. (LF3)

Hapan Martial Arts

This was a more formal name for the Nova-class Battle Cruiser. (CPL)

Hapan Paper Lamp
This delicate, decorative lamp was developed for use on the planet Hapes. (EVR)

Hapan Royal Crest
This wondrous coat of arms was the symbol of the royal family of Hapes. (LF6)

Hapan Royal Guard
This was the group of specially-trained soliders who protected the Fountain Palace and the Queen Mother of the planet Hapes. Unlike other aspects of Hapan life, the Royal Guard employed both male and female officers, with individual ranks being denoted by golden hashmarks on the cuffs of their uniforms. (LF3)

Hapan Royal Navy
This was the name of the naval fleet that patrolled and protected the planet Hapes, as well as the member worlds of the Hapes Consortium. The Royal Navy was called to duty some ten years after the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, when the Heritage Council set in motion its plans to eliminate Tenel Ka and take control of the Hapes Consortium for themselves. Thanks to intelligence gathered by Jaina Solo and Zekk on Terephon, it was discovered that the Heritage Council had been plotting to assassinate the Queen Mother. However, the initial attempt failed, and the Heritage Council was forced to launch a military strike at Hapes itself.

Because of the warning provided by the Jedi, the Hapan Royal Navy was ready for the Heritage Fleet when it emerged from hyperspace. However, the warning only gave them an element of surprise, as the Heritage Fleet was somewhat larger. This disadvantage was eliminated when the Royal Navy was augmented by the small Galactic Alliance fleet that was accompanying the Anakin Solo to Hapes. This combined force was able to defeat the Heritage Fleet and put and end to the plotting of the Heritage Council. (DN1, LF3)

Hapan Security
This was the primary public security and law enforcement agency in the Hapes Consortium, during the years following the Swarm War. (LF3)

Hapan Signals Intelligence

Hapan Water Dragon
This ocean-going, repulsorlift battleship was built on the planet Hapes. (L)

Hapes
This was the primary star in the Hapan System, and was generally considered the central body of the Hapes cluster. (CPL)

Hapes
Originally settled by a group of pirates called the Lorell Raiders, the planet Hapes later became a neutral system when the Jedi Knights wiped out the Raiders when they started making raids into Old Republic supply centers. The surviving women swore never to let a man run the government following this defeat. The system was later overrun by the Empire, but Ta'a Chume (the Queen Mother at the time) built a powerful armed forces and drove the Imperial out. The Hapans were known for their belligerence. The planet orbits the star Hapes, and had been the seat of the Hapan government for as long as anyone can remember. The planet had seven moons. The light from these moons, as well as from the star Hapes, had caused the natives to lose much of their ability to see at night. The average day on Hapes lasted 22 standard hours, and the year on Hapes encompasses 240 local days. (CPL, CTD)

Hapes Cluster
A system of 63 star systems, it was originally settled by a group of pirates called the Lorell Raiders, and was overrun by the Empire until Ta'a Chume ousted them. She ruled with an iron fist until her heir, Prince Isolder, chose Teneniel Djo to be his wife and the next Chume. Teneniel Djo brought the Hapans into the New Republic. There were at least 119 known worlds within the Cluster's boundaries, of which 12 were unsettled at the time of the New Republic's negotiations with Ta'a Chume. Following Prince Isolder's marriage to Teneniel Djo, twelve of these worlds aligned themselves directly with the New Republic. The Cluster had four distinct regions: the Interior Region, which was considered the heart of the Cluster and contains Hapes; the Rifle Worlds, named for the fact that these industrial worlds once tried to secede from the Hapes Consortium; the Rim Worlds, which bordered on the rest of the known galaxy; and the Transitory Mists Region, which was filled with nebulous gases and was home to many pirate groups. The unusual configuration of the Hapes Cluster gave rise to several theories that it was not a natural occurance, but an ancient "project" akin to the Corellian System or the Maw. (CPL, CTD, PH)

Hapes Consortium
The governing body of the of sixty-three star systems of the Hapes Cluster, the Consortium was founded more than four thousand years before the Galactic Civil War. A matriarchal institution, the Consortium was controlled by the Queen Mother. Each of the member planets had a vote in all matters of state, and the Queen Mother's vote could be called upon in the even of a tie.

For many generations, the Hapes Consortium advocated isolation from the rest of the galaxy, following the upheaval that occurred during the Great Sith War. Some 3,100 years before the Battle of Yavin, the reigning Queen Mother closed the borders of the Hapes Cluster to outsiders, and the Hapes Consortium remained isolated for millennia. The Consortium's location with the Transitory Mists gave it a natural barrier to outsiders, since hyperspace travel through the Mists was treacherous at best, unless a pilot knew of certain waypoints.

The New Republic tried to establish a relationship with the Hapes Consortium in the wake of the Galactic Civil War, when Prince Isolder became enamored of Princess Leia Organa. Although Leia rebuffed Isolder's attempts at forming a romance, she was able to convince the Hapan Prince to at least ally Hapes with the New Republic. This relationship became stronger after Tenel Ka ascended to the role of Queen Mother.

However, when Leia Organa-Solo pleaded with the Consortium for aid in combatting the Yuuzhan Vong, a vote was taken to determine whether the Hapans would help. The member worlds were divided in their support, and only a foolish duel between Prince Isolder and Archon Beed Thane settled the matter in favor of supporting the New Republic.

However, in the aftermath of the Battle of Fondor, in which most of the Hapan fleet was destroyed before it could bring its weapons to bear, the Consortium voted to isolate itself completely from the New Republic. The Consortium remained isolated for many months, until the Yuuzhan Vong were defeated and the Galactic Alliance began rebuilding the galaxy. Queen Mother Tenel Ka decided to join the Galactic Alliance, although the Consortium continued to operate for its own welfare. As the Galactic Alliance became more and more like the former Galactic Empire, the member worlds of the Hapes Consorium once again advocated for Hapan independence, especially when Corellia made military overtures at secession. Tenel Ka remained loyal to the Galactic Alliance, even after several assassination attempts on her life. (COJ, JE, PH, DN1, NECH, LF3)

Hapes Consortium Heritage Council
This was the body of nobles who advised the Queen Mother on various issues involved with ruling the Hapes Consortium. During the years following the Swarm War, many members of the Heritage Council grew frustrated with Tenel Ka's continued support of the Galactic Alliance. Taking matters into their own hands, several Council members hatched a plan to hire Aurra Sing to assassinate the Queen Mother, hoping to gain control of the Hapes Consortium and install their own Queen Mother. Circumstantial evidence also implicated Dur Gejjen, the recently named President of Five Worlds, in the assassination plot, but no charges were ever formally lodged.

In the wake of the disaster at Hapes, the Heritage Council remained largely intact, and even sent delegates to Gilatter Eight to meet with the member systems of The Confederation. (LF3, LF4)

Happer's Way
This independently-owned Rendili freighter was based on Chandrila, during the height of the New Order. Under the command of Captain Norello, the Happer's Way was among the many private vessels that were contracted by the Imperial military to make supply and delivery runs throughout the galaxy. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the Happer's Way was ambushed by a group of vessels owned by the BloodScar Pirates. During the fighting, an HT-2200 freighter that belonged to the BloodScar Pirates suddenly began shooting at the other vessels, ensuring that the Happer's Way escaped.

In the aftermath of the ambush, Captain Norello learned that the pirate vessel had been commandeered by Mara Jade. They were eventually picked up by Captain Ozzel and the Reprisal, where further repairs could be completed in safety. However, Jade commandeered the private vessel as part of her own mission to infiltrate the BloodScar organization. With help from the former pirate, Tannis, Jade traveled to Gepperain, claiming to have shipjacked the Happer's Way during the ambush. The Commodore and his cronies refused to believe her story, and tried to have her killed. In the fighting, the Happer's Way was stolen by Caaldra, who hoped to make a tidy profit by turning the ship's cargo of fifty AT-ST walkers over to Vilim Disra on Shelkonwa.

Upon arriving at Shelkonwa, however, Caaldra was unaware that he had been followed by Mara Jade, who diverted him to the Greencliff Regional Spaceport. Realizing that he had been discovered, Caaldra fired up one of the scout walkers and blasted his way out of the Happer's Way's cargo hold, hoping to make his way to freedom. (A)

Happy
A city on the lawless world of Korbin. Like the other cities on the planet, it was jokingly given an upbeat name despite the lawlessness of the planet. Happy, Joy, and Peace were cities called Small-Timers, because of their size and because ther were less intense than Pleasant City. (PG2)

Happy Blasters
This group of mercenary scouts was named for their usual response to any form of opposition: they just started firing their blasters at anything that moved.

Happy Failure
This dry-docked freighter served as a popular casino in Cloud City's Port Town, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The ship was owned at one time by Odea Aurora's mother and father. After her father's death, Odea and her mother tried to establish an independent shipping agency on Cloud City. After inadvertently carrying a cargo stolen from Jabba the Hutt, she was executed by Toln ne Yerres.

Happy Go Lucky
This woman was the pirate Black Jack's second-in-command, and was known as a walking arsenal of weapons. Many believed she got her nickname because she was trigger-happy, and more than willing to let loose with a volley of blaster fire. This attitude was rumored to be the reason she was kicked out of her original mercenary band, and contrasted sharply with Black Jack's merciful demeanor. (SWJ3)

Hapspir, Barrini, Corbolan, Triaxis
This was a high-level recognition code once used by Mara Jade, during her career as one of the Emperor's Hands. The code could be shortened to simply Hapspir Barrini, as long as the individual could also identify themselves as a level K-12 Imperial agent. Mara later used the code to gain access to the Captain of the Adamant, when the Star Destroyer intercepted her when she left Abregado-rae in the Etherway, some five years after the Battle of Endor. She claimed to have information for Grand Admiral Thrawn, and used the code as proof of her legitimacy. (DFR, A)

Haque
This well-educated assassin was living in the Cularin System during the height of the Clone Wars. Mister Haque felt that the liberation of Cularin from Thaereian control would only lead to more trouble, as the Jedi at the Almas Academy would eventually be recalled to participate in the ongoing battles of the Clone Wars. Although he hated the fact that the Thaereians had taking over Cularin, Haque knew that the struggle to repel them had cost the Cularin Military in both manpower and willpower, and the military forces that survived were too tired to defend against a Separatist attack. He was often heard arguing the finer points of the situation in Cularin with his partner, Mister Zlash. When Governor Barnab Chistor began undermining the efforts of the Thaereians, he found himself the target of Haque and Zlash, who were being funded by an unidentified Senator who was also working for the Separatists. Just as Mister Haque was about to execute Chistor, Mister Zlash announced that the Senator had been executed for treason, and was therefore unlikely to pay them. Mister Haque released Chistor, begging the Governor's apologies for having roughed him up. To show that they harbored no more ill intents, Haque and Zlash offered to take Governor Chistor to breakfast at a renowned Ithorian restaurant. Chistor could only stammer his acceptance, glad to still be alive. (LFCW)

Har Binande
This planet was the primary world in the Har System. It was invaded by the war fleets of Lahag Erli, which occupied the planet for many years. When the Lahag Erli were finally deposed and forced to leave the Har System, they left behind exquisite architecture on many worlds, which became a major tourist attraction in the Har System. Over time, the credits flowing in from tourism allowed the natives of Har Binande to all but forget about the Lahag Erli occupation of their homeworld. (LF8)

All three trained with the Wild Knights, under the tutelage of Tesar's mother, Master Saba Sebatyne, before joining Luke Skywalker and his Jedi Knights during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The three hatchmates shared a deep, jovial bond, and often shared a sissing kind of laughter at one of their many in-jokes. The three students joined the Jedi strike team which was dispatched to Myrkr, in an effort to locate and destroy the voxyn queen. Once aboard the worldship Baanu Rass, the Jedi struggled mightily to reach the queen. During an ambush by the Yuuzhan Vong, Bela took an amphistaff in the back from an alien warrior.

This elderly Eickarie was part of a small contingent who agreed to help the Aurek Company of the Imperial 501st Legion of stormtroopers gain access to the Warlord's fortress, after the Empire of the Hand agreed to help the United Tribes of Kariek to eliminate the Warlord. Ha-ran was a member of the Mish-ra family, which was in turn part of the Sha-kae clan and the Si-shae-ral tribe. He hated the fact that the Eickarie had to turn to the Imperials for help, and he maintained a belligerent attitude toward them despite the words of Su-mil. However, Ha-ran also recognized that the Imperials were better prepared to fight against the Lakran mecernaries supporting the Warlord, and reluctantly agreed that Su-mil's plan was best. Ha-ran accompanied the combined team as they infiltrated the Warlord's fortress, then revealed to everyone that he was actually the hee-sae, an Eickarie Prince. He revealed that his presence on the mission was to ensure that the prisoners released from the Warlord's dungeons would not fight against them, since many of them were imprisoned long before the signing of the United Tribes Agreements.

When a group of Jedi blastboats arrived in the system, followed closely by a squad of Mandalorian Bes'uliik-class fighters, the Imperial vessels found themselves until intense attack. Adding to the problem was the fact that other Jedi were arriving in StealthX fighters. This combined force managed to break through the shields of the Harbinger, gutting several sections of the Star Destroyer and venting them to the vacuum of space. All the while, though, her Captain kept firing at her attackers, doing his best to salvage the situation until he was forced to abandon ship. (LF9)

Harbinger
This Mon Calamari cruiser served as the flagship of Garm Bel Iblis' trio of naval fleets, during the years following the Battle of Coruscant. Bel Iblis had split with the New Republic, and had established his own operation after the Battle of Fondor. However, when Admiral Ackbar proposed the battle plan that led to the Battle of Ebaq, Bel Iblis was convinced by Luke Skywalker to rejoin the Republic's forces in routing the Yuuzhan Vong. Bel Iblis and the Harbinger continued to serve with the Galactic Alliance, and was instrumental in the retaking of the planet Corulag. (DW, UF)

Harbinger
This Old Republic warship was on dispatched to Telos to aid the refugees dishomed in the wake of the Jedi Civil War. However, a cascading failure disabled the ship, causing malfunctions that damaged much of the ship and all of her crew before reaching the planet. It was then captured by a group of Sith devotees who were trying to reawaken Darth Sion. The nearest facility was on Peragus II, and on the way there the Sith located the Ebon Hawk in deep space. They captured the small ship, sensing that it contained what appeared to be a Jedi Knight. Just before reaching Peragus II, Jedi Master Kreia managed to infiltrate the Harbinger, hoping to locate the individual onboard. She was unable to do so before reaching Peragus II, where the Sith crew took their captive and set out to revive Darth Sion. Kreia managed to locate the captive, who was one of the many exiles who had been shut off from the Force by the Jedi Council, and they were forced to fight their way back inside the Harbinger in order to reclaim the Ebon Hawk and escape from Peragus II. (KOTOR2)

Harbinger
This ancient Sith transport vessel was paired with the Omen to transport a cargo of Lignan crystals from the planet Phaegon III to the planet Kirrek, in the heart of the Sith Emipire, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, when the two ships were discovered by a Jedi starfighter. Captain Saes of the Harbinger was unable to react fast enough, and the Jedi managed to damage the ship's drie systems. The Harbinger careened out of control, and would have rammed the Omen if Yaru Korsin hadn't made the snap decision to jump blindly into hyperspace. It was believed that the Harbinger was either captured or destroyed. (LTS1)

However, when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, the Harbrights began retooling Salliche Ag to remove all traces of non-organic workers and tools. They hoped that they could survive the invasion by proving their adherence to the Yuuzhan Vong's bio-organic technologies. Borert also served as the Salliche Ag delegate who represented the Ruan System in the New Republic Senate, holding the rank of Count. Harbright agreed to allow Ruan to be used as an enclave for refugees fleeing the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (HT, JE)

He reluctantly and loyally agreed, but he was forced out of the command structure and placed in charge of a remote outpost. After his wife Janelle died, some three years before the Battle of Yavin, Harcourt hired Boba Fett to return to the crash of the Anya Karu and recover a small hologram of his wife. Unfortunately, Harcourt knew that he could not pay Fett's price for the recovery of the hologram. He knowingly allowed himself the pleasure of seeing Janelle one more time before Fett executed him for his failure to pay. (SWEW)

(CWT32)

Hardcell-class Transport
This cylindrical transport ship was developed and manufactured by the Techno Union. The main section of the ship was an elongated, egg-shaped hull in which huge amounts of cargo could be stored. The aft section of the ship consisted of six long engines, each of which was filled with thousands of gallons of fuel. The entire ship measured 220 meters in height, as it was usually seen standing on its engine section when not in flight. Rather than using repulors, the Hardcell-class transport relied on the sheer power of flame to reach orbit. The Hardcell-class transport took off and landed vertically, with the engine section resting on the ground. Once in space, these ships were equipped with powerful Class 1 hyperdrives to propel them across the galaxy. Specially-designed navigation computers allowed the hyperdrives to obtain flight coordinates in seconds, providing the Techno Union's members with fast getaways when needed. Because the Hardcell-class relied on propellants to reach sublight speeds, they were slow-moving and clumsy to fly. (SWI62, NEGV)

(LF1)

Hardscrabble
This dusty settlement of a few hundred colonists was the only operating settlement on the planet of Muskree, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was founded when a group of mining corporations established operations on Muskree, after initial scans of the planet and its surrounding system showed high concentrations of minerals and ores. The scans proved false, however, and Muskree was abandoned. A remaining settlers made a meager living by coaxing plantlife out of the red dirt and raising nerfs. (WOA32)

Hardwired
This was the name used by Kal and Dova Brigger to describe their YT-1300 freighter, some forty-eight years before the Battle of Yavin. The freighter was originally designated YT 492727ZED when it flew off the Corellian Engineering Corporation's assembly lines, and had been purchased by Corell Industries, Limited. When CI Limited filed for bankruptcy, it sold off its fleet of transport vessels at rock-bottom prices, allowing the Briggers to buy the ship at a deep discount. The siblings used the vessel to carry cargo to and from the planets in the Corellian System, until they reneged on a deal with the crimelord known as Nirama. Nirama placed a bounty on their heads, and Dova was eventually caught and executed by the crimelord. Kal renamed the ship to be the Wayward Son, changing her home port to be Fondor before moving his operations to Thyferra, in an effort to avoid further trouble. (MF)

Hardy Harrow
This refinery vessel was owned and operated by Denon-Ardru Mutual, during the decades leading up to the Clone Wars.

The crew was supposed to make contact with Denon-Ardru Mutual when it reached Ord Sigatt, but no communication ever occurred. A Senator from Denon reported the disappearance to the Galactic Senate and the Jedi Council, and asked for an investigation. Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, were dispatched to Ord Sigatt to investigate. On Ord Sigatt, Kenobi ran into Dexter Jettster, who feared that the Jedi had arrived to shut down his gunrunning operations. Jettster explained to Kenobi that he and a group of rebels had captured the Hardy Harrow and hidden it in a valley. Jettster revealed that the ship was nothing more than an automated barge, and that there had been no living crew aboard when they capture it. Jettster went on to describe the unethical practices of Denon-Ardru Mutual, prompting the two Jedi to step in and arrest the Denon-Ardru Mutual personnel on the planet. These officers and guards were sent back to Denon aboard the Hardy Harrow, freeing the planet Ord Sigatt from their control. (LLOW)

Hareel, Andros
This Alliance medical officer investigated the reports of plagues that swept over the planet Sedesia, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Despite all indications that the Empire purposely set the plague loose to put an end to rebellious activity on Sedesia, Doctor Hareel recommended that the Alliance send a team to Sedesia to assist in knocking out the plague.

Captain Harfard and his men were ordered take Valin Horn into governmental custody, after Horn was captured by the Jedi Order and held in the Jedi Temple for medical analysis. The government might have left Valin in the Temple, but the overturning of the Guilty by Association rider prompted government officials to put plans in place to override any remaining authority the Jedi might have had. Rather than simply carrying out his orders, however, Captain Harfard was quite insulting to the Jedi, calling Master Cilghal a "fish-head" and refusing to accept anything less than total compliance. Cilghal remained calm throughout the events that followed, but used cold logic and reasoning to pester Harfard with questions, including asking him if he had called Dhidal Nyz a fish-head as well, and if he minded being called Orry. Unknown to Harfard, Cilghal also began subtly influencing him through the Force, making him feel as if he were in desparate need of a trip to the restroom, and then implanting images of waterfalls and rivers in his mind. These visits to the Jedi Temple allowed Captain Harfard to become the primary liaison between the Galactic Alliance Security force and the Jedi Order. Harfard was once again dispatched to the Temple when it was believed that Seff Hellin had been captured by the Jedi, and he was once again met with a stoic lack of cooperation by acting Grand Master Kenth Hamner. Hamner refused to turn Hellin over, stating that he had no knowledge of the two "Jedi" who took Hellin captive. Harfard threatened to relay their conversation to the leaders of the Alliance, and claimed that further attempts to impede the work of the government would lead to tracking devices being implanted in the bodies of all Jedi. (FJ1)

Hargar
This man worked as a merchant on the planet Onderon, during the years following the Mandalorian Wars. (KOTOR2)

Hargeeva
This temperate world, the third of five in the Pelonat System, was nothing more than a backwater planet until the Empire discovered it was rich in mineral deposits. It was originally settled some 2,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, but support for the colonists was cut off. The society reverted to a feudal state, and remained that way until the Empire showed up. The limited government was unable to stop Imperial subjugation, and high-tech refineries and a full garrison were quickly installed. The planet remained under Imperial control for many years. The average day on Hargeeva lasted 23 standard hours, and its year encompasses 380 local days. (SWJ8)

Hariz
This city, located on the planet N'zoth, was where Nil Spaar chose to make his first appearance upon returning to the planet from Coruscant. It was here that he received the praise of the Yevethan people, after the first phase of the Yevethan Purge was so successful. Because of this, it was considered odd that Hariz was one of the few cities on N'zoth which allowed non-Yevetha to walk about unprotected. It was in the Haziz Downside district of Hariz that Nil Spaar's flagship, the Aramadia was preserved, as an inspiration for future generations of Yevetha. Note that Coruscant and the Core Worlds indicates that the Aramadia was a Super-class Star Destroyer, preserved in the city of Hariz as an inspiration to future generations of Yevetha. (SOL, CCW)

This man was a Sergeant in the 407th Stormtrooper Division, based on Yinchorr, nearly a century after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. A battle-hardened man, Sergeant Harkas was the leader of Joker Squad, and was one of the many stormtroopers who quietly questioned his loyalty to the "Empire," after the Sith Lord Darth Krayt took control of the galaxy and exiled the former Emperor, Roan Fel.

When the Jokers and the rest of the 407th were ordered to Borosk to prevent the 908th Stormtrooper Division from defecting, Harkas tried to deal with the situation by telling himself that his only concern was completing the mission, regardless of the fact that it involved killing his fellow stormtroopers. However, after losing Vax Potorr and Jes Gistang in the fighting - and sustaining an injury in the blast that killed Gistang - Harkas began to wonder if their orders were worth carrying out.

His injuries kept him out of the events that followed, in which new recruit Anson Trask shot and killed Darth Krayt's personal liaison, Darth Maleval, after the Sith Lord demanded that Lieutenant Gil Cassel execute his own brother to prove his loyalty. In his reports, Harkas later explained that Maleval had been killed in the fighting on Borosk.

Harkas spent several weeks recovering from his injuries, forcing him to turn leadership of Joker Squad over to Trask, who was the only other official survivor of the combat on Borosk. Once he had healed, Sergeant Harkas was assigned to a mission that was led by Darth Stryfe, to track down the rumors that he Jedi had returned to Ossus. (SWLN, SWLC)

He saw his first action against the Empire during the evacuation of Edan Base, shortly after the Battle of Yavin.

Harkness was eventually named the commander of the Black Curs, and was forced to crash-land on Hensara III. He and his crew were eventually rescued by the X-Wing Rogue Squadron. Before the Battle of Endor, Harkness worked as an independent operative for the Alliance and the New Republic. Harkness was a trusted source of information to Airen Cracken, although his freelance status meant that other members of the Republic didn't trust him.

Shortly after the Battle of Endor, he had been working with Platt Okeefe and her band of mercenaries, and was captured by Imperial forces. He was imprisoned on Zelos II, and shared a dark cell with Jai Raventhorn. They were interrogated and beaten senseless, and neither had any idea how long they were imprisoned. Okeefe and Tru'eb Cholakk managed to rescue them both. (XWN, SWJ1, SWJ8, TFNR, IAG, OWS)

Harkov
This thin man served the Imperial Navy as an Admiral, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. As commander of the Victory-class Star Destroyer Protector, Harkov and his task force were assigned to put an end to the Sepan Civil War and bring both the Dimok and the Ripoblus peoples under Imperial control. Following the events in the Sepan System and the Battle of Hoth, Harkov secretly met with Mon Mothma and offered to defect his entire fleet to the Alliance. He believed that he had covered all his tracks, but members of the Secret Order of the Empire had learned of his treasonous behavior, and had surreptitiously recruited Maarek Stele to keep watch over Harkov. Harkov remained a free man, unaware that Stele was following his actions. Stele was aided by the Secret Order, which transferred him from ship to ship in order to keep him close ot Harkov. One of Harkov's subordinates, Captain Trace, remained aboard the Protector, and served as an Imperial spy. It was Trace who alerted the Empire to Harkov's impending defection at deep space outpost DS-5, and an Imperial task force was dispatched to ambush him. Although Harkov was successful in abandoning the Protector and reaching the station, he was unable to avoid the Imperial forces that followed him. When he tried to escape from the station aboard the Geddawai, Harkov was intercepted by a group of ships led by Maarek Stele, and he was captured. Harkov was then taken aboard the Garret, where he was interrogated by Darth Vader in the Parmel System. Vader eventually executed for his treachery. (TIE, TIEP)

Hark'r was a merchant who stumbled upon the Home and was captured as a pirate, but Lens Reekeene decided that he wasn't a threat. However, in order to ensure that Hark'r didn't relay information on the Home to the Empire, Lens offered Hark'r only two choices for freedom: remain on the Home, or spend the rest of his life on an uncharted, remote planet. Hark'r elected to remain on the Home, and eventually became the ship's supply master. (GG12, SWCP)

(RASB)

Harleys, Diblen
This native of the planet Coruscant grew up at the height of the New Order. His father was a privileged bureaucrat, which helped insulate Diblen from the worst of the atrocities of the Imperial war machine. His mother died when he was fifteen, about the time he resolved to join the Imperial Survey Corps and explore Wild Space. His father sat him down and explained to him the harsh realities of a scout's life, as well as the true nature of the Empire. His father had kept his dissident thoughts to himself, and warned Diblen to do the same. Diblen, however, believed that the right thing to do was to fight, and he joined the Alliance at his first chance. He proved to be a confident fighter pilot and tactician, and was a valuable resource during the planning of the Battle of Endor. He retained his love for flying, though, which eventually got hom promoted within the New Republic to wing commander on Coruscant shortly before the rise to power of Grand Admiral Thrawn. He was distinguished by the glareshades and blue gemstone earring he wore while in uniform. (TLC, TTSB)

Harlison, Chop
This man and his younger brother, Roy, were orhpaned when their parents were killed by a renegade swoop gang in their home in Gallisport, on the moon Shesharile 5. Chop had nearly completed his degree in advanced repulsorlift design at the time, but had to drop out of school when his parent's meager savings ran dry. Chop took care of his brother, and the pair were eventually taken in by the Rabid Mynocks. Chop became the gang's primary mechanic, using his knowledge of repulsors to repair thei swoops to better working order than ever. He was the developer of the prototype swoop known as the Star Slinger, which became the center of attention in the wars between the Mynocks and the two rival gangs, the Spiders and the Raging Banthas. Later, Chop married Sharda and had a daughter named Jardra, but Shadra was killed by the Spiders. Despite these losses, Chop took in a young orphan named Bobi, and pledged himself to eliminating the violent gangs of Gallisport. (SWJ6)

This woman was the daughter of Chop and Sharda Harlison. After Sharda's death, Jardra was raied by her father, who hoped to keep her out of the swoop gangs. Jardra later became the lead singer for the band known as Hyperspaze and the Jump Lanes. She was kidnapped by Dean Lado, who hoped to ransom her for the Star Slinger swoop. Lado challenged Quayce to a swoop race, with the winner obtaining control of the Rabid Mynocks. Quayce managed to defeat Lado in a race which saw Lado try every dirty trick in the book to kill her. In the end, Lado was killed when Quayce tossed a magnetic grenade at his swoop racer. Jardra was returned to Chop, and the Mynocks remained under Quayce's command. (SWJ6)

Harlison, Roy
This man was the younger brother of Chop Harlison. Raised by his brother, Roy also became a member of the Rabid Mynocks, until he was conscripted into the Empire's armed forces. Roy learned the Imperial doctrines quickly, and was assigned to a scout squadron as a mechanic. He tried to repair his commanding officer's speeder bike, and was nearly finished when the officer took off on patrol.

Lieutenant H'Arman and his wingmate, Ensign Pleth Strom, were part of the team that was dispatched to Praesitlyn, under the command of General Khamar, to protect the Intergalactic Communications Center. However, when the Separatists finally launched their assault on the planet, the Republic's forces were unprepared for the sheer size of their army. H'Arman was shot down early in the battle, and would have died if his crash hadn't been observed by Odie Subu. For any number of reasons, Erk found himself deeply attracted to Odie, and they found that they were also good team in the field. Erk even found himself referring to Odie as the "best wingmate a fighter jock ever had." They were briefly assigned to a listening post established by the Freedom's Sons and Daughters militia, but were overrun by battle droids when the Separatists launched their attack. They were buried beneath the rubble for several days before being discovered by a scout force led by Grudo. The team was subdued after Grudo was mistakenly shot by Odie, and later died of his wounds, but they kept on working. Erk agreed to fly a transport alongside Anakin Skywalker, during a daring mission to rescue the hostages at the communications center. In the chaos that ensued, Erk managed to lift off when the surviving hostages had been loaded aboard his ship. Skywalker's craft had been destroyed, and he was reluctant to leave the rest of the team behind, especially Odie. However, the safety of the hostages was paramount, and he lifted off to escape. The rest of the team managed to locate Skywalker and capture Pors Tonith, and returned to the Republic's main base. When Anakin returned from the final mop-up, Odie surprised both Anakin and Erk by asking the young Padawan to marry them. Anakin agreed, and united them in marriage shortly afterward. (JT)

Harno
This male Rodian was a noted big-game hunter on his homeworld of Rodia, during the early years of the New Order. His dedication to the hunt was matched only by his skills with a weapon, and he prospered for many years before a rival named Neevat began to claim that he drugged his prey to make it easier to catch. Harno confronted Neevat, and accidentally killed him in an argument. Harno fled Rodia, and took a job working for the Trandoshans as a guide on several illicit expeditions to Kashyyyk. When the Wookiees learned of these hunts, they placed a bounty on Harno's head. This bounty was matched by a similar one from the Trandoshans, who wanted to keep him from implicating them in the hunts. Harno went underground, accepting his role with an air of bravado, and began poaching big game from worlds like Kashyyyk. However, his trail was easy to find, since he often bragged about his skills and his kills. Despite his status as a criminal, Harno longed to return to Rodia and prove to his fellow Rodians that he was worthy of their admiration. (WOTC)

Harpago
This Imperial Interdictor-class capital ship was part of Admiral Zaarin's fleet, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. Admiral Zaarin used the Harpago to stall his pursuers as he sped toward the planet Coruscant, where he hoped to complete his plans for capturing and executing Emperor Palpatine, thereby taking control of the Empire for himself. However, the Imperial forces that pursued Zaarin to Coruscant were led by Darth Vader, and intercepted the Harpago before it could fire up its gravity well projectors. The frigate Osprey overtook the Harpago and launched a group of TIE Defenders that were led by Vader and Maarek Stele. The Imperial pilots quickly disabled the Harpago, and with a few well-placed torpedoes, they were able to destroy the ship and continue in their pursuit of Admiral Zaarin. (TIE, TIEP)

Harran posed as the Imperial Navy Captain who commanded the Nuna's Twins, which made regular runs to many Imperial labor colonies, including Kalist VI. On Kalist VI, the Alliance forces discovered hundreds of Jabiimi slaves toiling in underground facilities. Sergeant Basso requested that the team alter their plans in order to rescue the slaves as well, and Harran was forced to accept his idea. He ordered Basso to devise a workable plan for their extraction, so that the team understood their new objectives. It was Harran who saved Deena Shan's life, after she was discovered to be an Alliance agent by Captain Roshuir. Their mission was ultimately successful, as the Alliance team was able to secure both Jorin Sol and the Jabiimi slaves aboard the Nuna's Twins and flee into hyperspace. (SWEWW)

Harrandarr
This remote planet was believed to be the homeworld of the Buzchub race. (TSK)

Harrar
This Yuuzhan Vong priest was placed in a position of command during Nom Anor's second wave of attacks against the New Republic. The use of religious commanders came after the defeat of Shedao Shai at Ithor, and the loss of the fleet under the command of Deign Lian. Harrar was one of the few Yuuzhan Vong who recognized the true threat of the Jedi Knights, and he was the first to suggest outright aggression against them. He agreed to the plan to have Elan infiltrate the Jedi Order as a hostage, all the while harboring a deadly bioweapon in her lungs. Harrar went so far as to suggest an alliance with the remaining Sith lords, if they could be found. Harrar spent much of his time consulting specific auguries, hoping to determine the best course of action for the invading force. When Elan's mission failed and was reviewed with supreme commander Nas Choka, Harrar was reassigned to the Outer Rim with Commander Tla. However, Harrar was later recalled from the field to serve as Warmaster Tsavong Lah's spiritual guide and advisor. The Warmaster assigned Harrar to bring good fortune to the recapture of Borleias, but was unable to anticipate the plans of the New Republic forces there. This lack of foresight, coupled with the inability ot Czulkang Lah to discern the Republic's true plans, led to the destruction of the Yuuzhan Vong forces at Borleias. Harrar then fled back to Coruscant, hoping to discover the fruits of victory there. He remained on Coruscant after the death of Tsavong Lah, advising Supreme Overlord Shimrra on religious matters. However, Harrar was one of many Yuuzhan Vong who came to question Shimrra's connection to the gods. Harrar went so far as to meet with Nen Yim in secret, proposing an alliance with the Prophet, Yu'shaa, and a mission to locate the planet Zonama Sekot. Harrar's initial plan was to use Nen Yim as bait to capture the Prophet, but he ultimately wanted to locate Zonama Sekot. He agreed to accomapny them on a secret mission, along with the Jedi Knights Corran Horn and Tahiri Veila, to locate Zonama Sekot. Once there, Harrar found himself face-to-face with the planet's mingling of Yuuzhan Vong and other forms of life. He found himself believing that maybe the Yuuzhan Vong were linked to the galaxy somehow. Unfortunately, he never found out what the connection was. After Tahiri revealed that it had been Nom Anor who killed Nen Yim, Harrar swore to kill the former Executor. Tahiri stopped him from attacking, but Nom Anor had other ideas. He hunted Harrar down and confronted him on a rocky ledge, and Harrar fought valiantly. However, when Nom Anor longed at him with Tahiri's lightsaber, Harrar's dodge left him off-balance, and he fell from the ledge. Remarkably, Harrar managed to survive the fall, and was rescued by a group of Ferroans as well as Tekli and Danni Quee. Harrar agreed to speak with Luke Skywalker and the Jedi, explaining what had happened and his own thoughts on Nom Anor's actions. After speaking with the Jedi, Harrar agreed to help them seek out a resolution to the conflict. When the Galactic Alliance launched its attack on Coruscant, it was Harrar who helped them gain access to the Well of the World Brain, so that Jacen Solo could convince the dhuryam to stop working for Shimrra. After the deaths of Shimrra and Onimi - who proved to be the true Supreme Overlord - Harrar and the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong agreed to surrender to the Galactic Alliance. In accordance with the advice of Jedi master Luke Skywalker, the Galactic Alliance allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to travel to Zonama Sekot to re-establish their civilization. The planetary consciousness Sekot welcomed them with open arms, then fled into the Unknown Regions to allow its new inhabitants to evolve in peace. (HT, SBS, EL2, FP, UF)

Harravan
A Hapan privateer who killed Isolder's older brother. Isolder hunted the man down and captured him, but chose to make an example out of him rather than murder him. Unfortunately for Isolder, Harravan was killed in prison before he could stand trial and reveal the names of his accomplices. It was assumed that the Queen Mother, Ta'a Chume, had employed the pirates to assassinate her son, whom she felt was too weak to become a ruler of Hapes. (CPL, EGC)

A former military officer, Harris walked with a limp from an old war injury. He refused to have a cybernetic prosthesis put in place of the leg. After the Battle of Bakura, Harris was given more power and control of the Bakuran armed forces. He eventually was elected as the deputy Prime Minister, serving under Molierre Cundertol during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He had grown to hate the New Republic and its supposed "peace", and began secretly funding the Freedom group in an effort to force Bakura into breaking off its relationship with the Republic and joining the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement. Behind the scenes, however, Harris planned to take all the credit for freeing Bakura from outside control, rather than have Malinza be regarded as a hero. He arranged for the kidnapping of Jaina Solo, and used her to draw Malinza to him. Then, in a bold move, he planned to kill them both, making it appear that the Jedi Knight had confronted the Bakura idealist. By inference, the Jedi Knights would be accused of coming to Bakura to coerce the planet into remaining with the New Republic, despite the wishes of the natives. Coupled with a bomb his people had set in the main arena where the Keeramak would consecrate Bakura, Harris planned to crystallize support for a free Bakura with himself as the leader. Harris hoped to assassinate Cundertol and most of the Bakuran Senate, ensuring that he would assume control of the government and establish Malinza Thanas as a martyr who cause should be adopted by all Bakurans. Unfortunately, Harris and his plans were discovered by Prime Minister Cundertol and the Solos, after an explosion ripped through the arena where the Keeramak was consecrating the planet. Cundertol, who was not what he appeared to be, had survived the blast, and confronted Harris about his actions. When Harris couldn't help them escape, Cundertol shot Harris in the head with a blaster, killing him instantly and in cold blood. (TB, TBSB, FH2)

However, when Mika accepted the bounties offered by Kh'aris Fenn, Harrll was able to put his incredible skills to good use. However, when the Jedi finally discovered the location of The Rig, Harrll finally met his match. He confronted none other than Jedi Master Mace Windu, using a Morgukai blade of pure cortosis, but was unable to match the speed of the Jedi's lightsaber. In a move of blinding speed, Master Windu avoided Harrll's sweeping attack and brought his own weapon around in a wide arc, severing Harrll's head from his shoulders. (RSF)

The only repair he allowed was the addition of a droid's optical sensor to replace his lost eye. Since the Battle of Endor, Harrsk had mustered the remaining Imperial starships, and began small harassment attacks on the New Republic. as his power grew, Harrks became more and more of a dissenter, active during Leia Organa Solo's reign as the Chief of State for the New Republic. Harrsk sought to restore the New Order to the galaxy, and took on the title of Supreme Warlord in an effort to announce his leadership. He was thought to have a base on Spuma, from which he was manufacturing Imperial-class Star Destroyers for his fleet. Admiral Daala offered to join with Harrsk following the destruction of her fleet and the Eye of Palpatine. When he refused, and ordered her to take command of his fleet against Teradoc, Daala set out to unite the feuding warlords or die. In ther end, Daala found it best to kill of the childish warlords - Harrsk included - when they failed to reach an agreement at the summit on Tsoss Beacon. (COJ, DS)

Harsh
This Imperial Moff controlled the planet Otunia, and survived the upheavel following the Battle of Endor. Every bit as combative and abusive as his name implied, Harsh was said to have been an Imperial supporter even as a youth. One story told of his beating a bully senseless with a tock, after the bully crushed a Star Destroyer model Harsh had been playing with. After graduating with honors from the Imperial Academy, Harsh was taken in by an influential Imperial Senator, where he learned a great deal about politics. Harsh eventually earned the command of the Star Destroyer Cauldron, and was dispatched to eliminate the rebel threat on Chabosh. Harsh himself led the stormtroopers into battle against the Alliance forces, but he sustained terrible damage to his legs. Rather than accept cybernetic replacements, Harsh willed himself to heal without surgical assistance.

Hartar, Plook
This crimelord was a rival of Servid Norn, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Hartar and Norn both believed that they had the best pilots in the galaxy, and set out to prove it. Each nominated a pilot to participate in a race across the galaxy. The winner would be determined by which of the pilots reached the destination first. The race began on Tynna, then required the pilot to obtain a docking permit from each of the following planets: Bothawui, Nal Hutta, Calamari, Almania, Ord Mantell, Fondor, and Bespin. Once all these permits were acquired, the pilot had to make run to Mos Eisley and deliver the permits to the spaceport controllers there.

Harth
This was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)

Harth, Set
This young man was one of the many Jedi Knights who turned to the Dark Side of the Force in the era leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. This young man entered the Jedi Temple on Coruscant many years before the Battle of Ruusan, and was chosen as a Padawan learner by Jedi Master Aru-Wen. As a Jedi Knight, Set was known to solve many of his problems through violence, which opened up the path to the Dark Side. He was left behind on Coruscant when his Master, Aru-Wen, left for Ruusan to serve with Lord Hoth. Left without a teacher, Set Harth set out to learn about the Force on his own. Rather than spending time wandering the halls of the Temple, Harth left the Jedi Order and sought out information on the Sith. He tracked down a Sith artifact to Ruusan, and there battled a Sith Lord for possession of it. He gave in to his anger and desire, and killed the Sith before taking possession of the artifact. Shortly after surviving the attack, Set killed the Sith warrior's elderly servant in anger, after which he abandoned the Jedi Order and set out to become a Sith himself.

After mastering the Sith artifact, he set out to obtain another artifact from a Hutt crimelord. He was forced to prove his worth against Bal Serinus, and their confrontation led to an all-out lightaber duel that left both Dark Siders exhausted. They were captured and imprisoned by the Hutt, although they maintained a tentative mental contact. After escaping from the Hutt, Harth roamed the galaxy for decades, inspiring fear in many backwater worlds while always remaining one step ahead of the Jedi. The, he suddenly seemed to disappear. For the next few centuries, rumors appeared every so often that Harth had been sighted in some remote corner of the galaxy, and the Jedi Council dismissed these as legend. However, Harth was, in fact, still very much alive. His delving into Sith lore had revealed a way to transfer his consciousness into another body, and he spent many centuries changing from body to body, all the time gathering more and more strength. When he discovered cloning, Harth managed to hire a group of cloners to create replacement bodies for him to inhabit. He changed bodies every few decades, ensuring that he was always strong and youthful. With this supply of bodies, Harth amassed one of the largest collections of Sith artifacts and lore, and spent most of his time tracking down new acquisitions for his collection. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, their path of destruction nearly wiped out the facilities that were maintaining his clones. Set Harth had to bring in outside help to defend his future, working from behind the scenes to ensure the success of the mercenaries he hired. (SWRPG, DSSB, UA)

Harthan
This diplomatic conselor worked for the Tion Hegemony. An elder statesman with many successful negotiations in his history, Harthan was called upon to intercede for the Troobs and Hobors on Tahlboor, hoping to create a lasting peace between the races while obtaining trading rights on Tahlboor. His son, Jake, however, was not interested in restoring peace to the planet. Instead, he wanted control of Mount Yeroc. Jake skillfully manipulated his father out of the counselor's position, taking it for himself. Harthan was somewhat powerless to stop the ensuing struggles, but eventually discovered his son's treachery with the help of R2-D2 and C-3PO. When the Troobs and Hobors realized that they could use Mount Yeroc as a way to bring their races together, they asked Harthan to tell the Tion Hegemony that they wanted to work things out on their own. (DRPC)

Harthan, Jake
Ths son of the Tion Hegemony's Counselor Harthan, Jake managed to acquire R2-D2 and C-3PO on Rudrig, after the droids left the service of Governor Wena on Kalarba. Jake later accompanied his father to Tahlboor. There, while his father was trying to work with the Hobors and Troobs to restore peace, Jake discovered the power of Mount Yeroc and the sky cannon. Hoping to obtain the power for himself, he set in motion a plan that would remove his father from the negotiations. This accomplished, Jake insinuated himself into the counselor's position. From there, he silently killed Ket Krax and tried to frame Larka Nimondro for the murder. Jake hoped that this would ignite a civil war, removing him to take control of Mount Yeroc. Unfortunately, the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO discovered that Jake was the culprit. Although they only had the simplest of evidence, C-3PO bluffed Jake by claiming to have a holo-vid of the crime taking place, as well as fingerprints. In truth, all the droids had was the vibro-shiv used to commit the crime. They knew that the Hobors never used vibro-shivs, and took an educated guess. Jake fell for the bluff and admitted to the crime, taking Madame Krax hostage. She bit his hand and distracted him long enough for a Troob to launch a spear at him. The shot was true, and Jake was killed when he fell into the sky cannon he so desired. (DRPC)

Harthis
This New Republic Major was an administrative assistant to Colonel Gavin Darklighter, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (BP)

Haruun Kal
This planet, the first and only world habitable in the Al'har System, appeared to be an oceanic world from space. However, the multi-colored ocean was actually a sea of toxic, heavier-than-air gases which were brought to the surface by volcanic activity. This gaseous ocean was broken by mountains and plateaus, and only those landmasses which reached high into the atmosphere could support life. It was high in these mountains and plateaus that human life evolved. Calling themselves the Korunnai, these humans tended to move about the landmasses as best they could to avoid being caught by a sudden storm that might bring gases up from the surface. The name Haruun Kal was a phrase used by the Korunnai to mean "above the clouds." Much of the habitable landmass was covered with jungles and semi-tropical forests.

Haruun Kal was important during the Clone Wars because it was located at the hub of the Gevarno Loop, and separated several Separatist-loyal systems from a group of systems which remained loyal to the Republic. The Jedi Council believed that a starship transporting Jedi Knights during the Great Sith War crashed on the planet, and that the survivors were, in fact, the ancestors of the Korunnai. This theory was the primary proposal for the reason behind the fact that all Korunnai could touch the Force. The planet had no natural satellites, but a ring of rocky debris that encircled the planet was believed to have been the remains of its moon. In the wake of the Clone Wars, an Imperial armada bombarded the planet from orbit, destroying most of its surface and exterminating the native Korunnai. Note that the short story Equipment indicates that Haruun Kal was not the only world in the Al'Har System, stating that several gas giants were located beyond the system's asteroid belt. (SHPT, SS2, EGF)

(KOR6)

Harvos
This Nelvaanian warrior was one of many who were captured by Separatist battle droids and brought to the secret facility that had been established in the wilderness of Nelvaan. Like other such captives, Harvos was subjected to torturous experiments by Skakoan scientists. His once-lithe body had been augments with genetic tampering, and his flesh was implanted with strange forms of technology. When Anakin Skywalker arrived on Nelvaan during the Clone Wars, he was able to destroy the Separatist facility and free the Nelvaanians. Rather than simply attacking the offworlder, Harvos reminded his fellows warriors that they were Nelvaanians first, and that any being who helped them escape was not an enemy.

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 had a wealth of facial wounds from the battle. Hash and his comrade, Spade, were killed shortly afterward, during the platoon's attempt to reach the actual missile production facility beneath the surface of Tur Lorkin. It was later revealed to Joram that Hash 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. (SWI65)

He formed an alliance with Adol Bel, of the Xucphra faction, and developed a plan to starve the Old Republic of bacta in order to reap huge proftis. The plans of Hask and Adol Bel were thwarted by the efforts of Iaco Stark, whose Commercial Combine began raiding the few bacta convoys which were allowed to leave Thyferra and reselling the bacta at cheaper prices. Their plans were further derailed by Jedi Master Tholme and his Padawan apprentice, Quinlan Vos, who were on Thyferra to investigate the bacta shortage. (SHW)

Hask, Loka
This man attended from the Imperial Academy on Carida, but was expelled for grifting his classmates. He was returned to his homeworld just in time to witness the public execution of his father. Hask took his meager inheritance, along with the hidden caches of credits and valuables his father had stashed away, and bought a small starship. He began a small-time pirating operation, and eventually worked his way up to become the leader of the Bonestar Pirates. He led the Corellian authorities on a chase through the Corellian System in the armed freighter Buzzzer, and tried to lose them at Gus Treta. His plan was to create a large enough diversion to allow the pirates to escape from notice. He landed at the Jagged Antilles' fuel depot, and requested that his ship be refueled. In the midst of refueling, Hask ordered his ship to lift off. This resulted in a ruptured fuel linkage that spewed volatile fuel everywhere. The backwash from his ship's thrusters ignited the fuel, destroying the Antilles' depot. Jagged and Zena Antilles died trying to contain the damage, but Wedge was removed from the conflagration by Booster Terrik. Terrik did not stand in Wedge's way when the youth demanded revenge, and Hask found himself again the hunted. Wedge and Booster managed to severely damage the Pirate's ship, leaving them for dead. Hask, fearing for his own life, took the only usable spacesuit and escaped the destruction. However, a parasite had hidden in the suit, and attacked Hask. It latched onto his face, and Hask never found a suitable method for removing it without inflicting great damage to himself. He vowed to hunt down Wedge Antilles for the loss of his pirates and ship. He later managed to became a member of the Imperial forces, and was one of the neogitators trying to obtain the Mrlssi Phantom cloaking device. He was pitted against Wedge Antilles in the negotiations, and managed to frame the Rogues in an incident of theft. Wedge escaped, and was able expose Hask's treachery. However, Hask escaped to Rorax Falken's lab, where he discovered the gravitic polarization beam. When the suddenly activated, Hask was caught too near the device.

As a young child, Dair was orphaned when his parents, West and Nieka, were killed during the Whahalla Massacre. Dair was raised by his grandmother, Keriin, and found a sympathetic ear in Tork Winger, who became something of an uncle to him. He and Jos remained good friends until the Empire stationed the Judicator in orbit around Garos IV. During a trip back to the caves on Mount Usca, they ran into an Imperial patrol. The scout troopers accused them of being rebel spies, and shot Jos dead before Dair could shoot the troopers. The death of Jos hardened Dair's resolve to help the rebels, and Dair took every opportunity to help the underground while serving as an Imperial officer. He was later stationed on Janara III, when the Empire established a base on the planet, and posed as a stormtrooper when he learned that Alex Winger was being held captive there. In this disguise, he was able to "apprehend" her when she escaped, and he helped escort her out of the garrison. It was then that Dair decided it was time for him to fully renounce his Imperial standing and join the New Republic. (SWJ5, SWJ12, TFE)

However, before she was knocked out, Devis hit the comlink's emergency beacon, and a group of clone troopers led by Jedi Master Djinn Altis was able to locate the hideout. Altis posed as a dishomed man who was searching for his daughter, which allowed him to enter the hideout, and the clones troopers who wre following him burst into the room. Merish tried to raise her blaster and fire it at Altis, but the Jedi ignited his lightsaber and cut off her arm. Unfortunately, he could not control the stroke, and the lightsaber continued upward, slicing through Merish's chin and into her skull. (CWNOP)

Hathan, Artzam
This male Ugnaught was believed to have stolen secret plans and schematics from Sienar Fleet Systems, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. With the help of his colleague, Alby Ermad, Artzam made off with several disks worth of documentation and fled to the Outland Transit Station. However, a bounty had been placed on both Ugnaughts' head for their arrest and return to Sienar. Jango Fett collected the bounty on both of them. (BH)

Hathrox III
This planet was the site of a biochemical civil war some 1,200 years before the Battle of Endor. One of the armies had unleashed a plague as a "secret weapon," one which was a "fool-proof" antivirus. All the group managed to do was wipe out the entire population of the planet. During the new Republic, Hathrox III was still listed as a "standing hazard." The history of the planet was discovered by a scouting team which discovered records of civilization, but failed to live long enough to read them. Neither did the rescue crew that assisted them, nor the quarantine staff which tried to save them. (POT)

Hatoo
This was a Sakiyan exclamation, used to indicate the obvious outcome to a sticky situation. (MBS)

Hattyc or'arue jate'shya ori'sol aru'ike nuhaatyc
This Mandalorian proverb translated into Basic as "Better one big enemy that you can see than many small ones that you can't." (LF8)

Hau Polyp
The reddish polyps of this bio-engineered creature were used by the Yuuzhan Vong to form supple diases and cushions. The use of hau polyps was reserved for the highest of social castes. A huge throne of pulsating, red-hued hau polyps was created within The Citadel for Supreme Overlord Shimrra, after the Yuuzhan Vong captured the planet Coruscant and remade it into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar. (EVR, Y, UF)

Haug, Groff
This crimelord controlled a portion of Coruscant's underworld during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Much of his criminal organization was hidden behind Haug Nerf Industries, a legitimate nerf packaging warehouse that was located near the entertainment district. Haug's operations were allowed a measure of freedom due to his relationship with Senator Trell, who helped fund the import of tainted death sticks from Malastare. Jango Fett sought out Groff Haug to question his connections to the Bando Gora cult, but arrived too late when he discovered that his old nemesis, Montross, had already found Haug. Haug, hoping to avoid any trouble, told Montross that the Bando Gora was to be found in the Gazzari System. This turned out to be a lie, prompting Montross to kill Haug and have him frozen. When Fett arrived to interrogate Haug, Montross presented his rival with Haug's frozen body. (BH)

Haug Nerf Industries
This was one of Coruscant's largest nerf-meat processing centers during the last decades of the Old Republic. Owned by Groff Haug, the business served as a front for many of his criminal operations. (BH)

Haul Jets
A slang phrase meaning "let's get out of here." (E4R)

Hauler VI
This Alliance Censian-class transport was used by the Special Forces division as a troop carrier. It was attacked shortly before the Battle of Yavin by the Fivaran Organization, who failed to recognize that the ship was a military vessel. Nearly all the Fivaran pirates were killed or captured, although Denuab and Dorin Venithon escaped as soon as they realized the mistake. (AIR)

Hauler-2 Cargo Tug
This was a series of cargo hauling tugboats produced by Sienar Fleet Systems for use by the Empire. (FOP)

Haumia
This Gallofree medium transport was used by the Alliance to transport bacta during the Galactic Civil War. (XWA)

Haunch of Nerf
This restaurant was located in Coruscant's university quarter, during the final years of the Old Republic. The restaurant was decorated to appear as a rustic retreat, with rough-hewn wooden tables and simple carved plates and utensils. Food and beverages were prepared as they were in olden days, or were made to seem like simple peasant food. (RC66)

Haunted Straits
This long passageway was formed on the planet Maramere, in the most remote part of the planetary ocean. The Strait was formed by a series of tall, inward-curving stone spires, making a trip through the Strait seem like moving through the fossilized ribcage of some huge, ancient beast. The Mere who were native to the planet believed that the spirits of every being who died in the ocean were trapped in the Straits. During the years of the Trade Federation's control of Maramere, the Strait was controlled by Sol Sixxa, who viciously fought off any intruders in order to protect the location of the Invisible Island. (CRBN)

Haurgab
This planet was located in the galaxy's Mid Rim. Haurgab was an arid world, and much of its surface was covered with deserts or dry, rocky wastelands. Several ore mining operations sprang up on the planet, but its remote location made most mining unprofitable. Thus, there was some surprise among the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic when they were dispatched to Haurgab, sopme two years after the Battle of Geonosis. (RC66)

Haus, Pol
This male Zabrak served as a prefect in the Imperial Sector Police force, during the early years of the New Order. His appearance was as unusual as the pattern of horns that crowned his head, for there was not obvious pattern to the growth of his horns. Likewise, Prefect Haus wore clothing that was ill-fitting and random, despite his rank in the police force. However, his years of service to the Sector Command allowed Haus to get away with the lack of a uniform. Haus and his team of forensic investigators were dispatched to handle the murder of artist Ves Volette, a Caamasi who was killed shortly after the attack on the planet Caamas. The two incidents seemed to have nothing in common, but Haus' men were hampered in their investigation by the fact that the Imperial government looked down upon using resources on non-human investigations. Thus, while he did not fully endorse it, Haus allowed Jax Pavan and his associates to carry out their own investigation. He became agitated when Pavan and his comrades always seemed to turn up where there was trouble, including their shakedowns of Shulf'aa and Spa Fon. However, Haus gave them the freedom they needed to continue their investigation, since his own work was throttled by the current government. His patience with their actions paid off when Pavan and his team were able to discover that it ws actually the domestic droid owned by Vlacan and Kirma Umber that had committed the crime. When I-5YQ wiped the droid's memory in order to prevent another such crime, Haus was left without a suspect to arrest and bring in for questioning. It was Dejah Duare who suggested that Haus and his men round up a common street criminal and pin the crime on them, a plan that Haus reluctantly agreed to. Pol Haus continued to maintain a relationship with Jax and his band of investigators, knowing that they had access to beings and resources his own police officers did not. However, when an Imperial Inquisitor was killed by a Force-user in one of Imperial City's markets, Haus was forced to make a decision about Jax. He refused to turn Pavan over to the authorities, even though Darth Vader himself demanded that Haus bring the Force-user to justice, but he warned Jax that any evidence of the Force-user's identity had to be turned over immediately. Haus then explained that he had deduced that Jax was a former Jedi after several pieces of information fit together, like Vader's obsession with him and the fact that Jax had survived an encounter with Aurra Sing. Haus also explained that he was certain there were other surviving Jedi, on Coruscant and other worlds. Any doubts Jax might have had about Haus' loyalties were put to rest when he met with Thi Xon Yimmon, who explained that Haus was an original member of the Whiplash organization, and that he could be trusted to do what was right for the organization. Yimmon's trust proved well-founded when Kajin Savaros was nearly discovered along Gallery Row by an Inquisitor, after Dejah Duare took him for a walk to get him out in the air. Haus flew his speeder into the chaotic flow of beings and vehicles, helping Jax locate the boy by keeping the stormtroopers busy. (CN2, CN3)

Hauser
This Imperial Grand Moff was brought to M'haeli by Ranulf Trommer's father, in order for him to see first-hand the treachery of Governor Grigor. (ROC)

This Duros worked for Gamgalon on Varonat. (TFE)

Havaal
This Duros served as Gallo Memm's chief steward, overseeing the security of Streysel Island on the planet Vaynai while Memm was offplanet. (GMR8)

Havac
This man was a holo-documentarian who became a noted alien-rights activist during the Stark Hyperspace Conflict, and spent many years researching the abuses of the Trade Federation. The name Havac was an alias used by Eru Matalis, who was a native of the planet Eriadu. Havac worked from a base on Asmeru during the period leading up to the Battle of Naboo. A confederate of Arwen Cohl, Havac had no stomach for violence, but excelled in treachery and deceit. Havac was also a member of the militant wing of the Nebula Front, and was one of Cohl's main contacts in the organization. In fact, Havac was the man who hired Cohl to steal the aurodium ingots from the Revenue. Havac, in turn, had been secretly working with Senator Palpatine to help ensure that the Nebula Front was able to obtain resources and support. It was believed that Havac was responsible for the assassination attempt on Chancellor Valorum, a year before the Battle of Naboo. He later employed Cohl again, this time to gather a team of mercenaries and assassins in an attempt to finish off Chancellor Valorum on Eriadu. A secondary plan, which later became the main focus of the mission, was to eliminate Nute Gunray and the Directorate of the Trade Federation. He was forced to kill Cohl and his first team, after learning that the Jedi Knights were tracking his movements. Havac then took control of the mercenaries himself, but was unprepared to discover that Cohl had survived. In another brief struggle, Cohl and Havac shot each other to death. In the wake of Havac's death, the Nebula Front disintegrated. (COD)

HavaKing
The corporate headquarters of this distribution chain were based on the planet Brentaal. (SWJ7, SWJ14)

Havaland
This Imperial Moff was in control of the Rettna System during the New Order. He also had jurisdiction over Freda and Jante Systems. When the Freda broke a decades-old cold war by attacking Jante holdings on Rett II, Haveland called in Imperial forces to bring about a cease-fire. He also initiated peace talks between the Freda and Jante, but neither side would concede anything, and the Freda withdrew. (SWJ8, SWJ9)

Havel, Matas
This man was an honest trader, and was the original owner of the YT-2400 transport which later became known as the Lambarian Crab. Havel had modified the ship to have additional cargo space and enhanced shielding, but sold the ship to Finious Crab three years after purchasing it. (SS)

Havelon
This warship served as Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin's LQ flagship, during the construction of the first Death Star near Despayre. The Havelon was usually stationed in geosynchronous orbit around the planet, allowing Tarking and his crew to monitor the construction of the space station at all times. (DSTR)

Haven
A small planetoid located in the Minos Cluster, Haven was known during the last decades of the Old Republic as a resupply depot among the independent spacers of the Outer Rim. Haven later served as the site of the Alliance's primary resistance center in the Cluster during the Galactic Civil War. Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa fled to this planet after losing Han Solo at Cloud City, meeting a segment of the Alliance fleet and regrouping. Luke received his prosthetic hand while in orbit around Haven, and it was here that the initial plan to rescue Solo was put into action. (GG6, SOL, SOJ)

Haven 1
This Imperial Lambda-class shuttle was part of a group that was assigned to the Star Destroyer Majestic, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Several months after the Battle of Hoth, the Majestic was captured by Admiral Zaarin, as part of a bold scheme to capture and execute Emperor Palpatine. Zaarin was attempting to wrest control of the Empire for himself, and hoped to complete his mission before Darth Vader or any other Imperial forces could stop him. However, Vader was aware of Zaarin's plans, and had recruited Maarek Stele to help him stop Zaarin. In an attempt to try and stretch Vader's search party thin, Zaarin launched all of the Haven shuttles, as well as the Hellcat group, hoping that Vader and Stele would be forced to expend resources inspecting each shuttle. Despite these well-laid plans, Stele was able to locate Palpatine aboard Haven 3, allowing him the chance to destroy the other shuttles and eventually rescue the Emperor. (TIE, TIEP)

Haven 2
This Imperial Lambda-class shuttle was part of a group that was assigned to the Star Destroyer Majestic, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Several months after the Battle of Hoth, the Majestic was captured by Admiral Zaarin, as part of a bold scheme to capture and execute Emperor Palpatine.

Despite these well-laid plans, Stele was able to locate Palpatine aboard Haven 3, allowing him the chance to destroy the other shuttles and eventually rescue the Emperor. (TIE, TIEP)

Haven Base
This was the codename used to describe the Alliance's base on the planet Arbra, which served as the Alliance's main base of operations in the months following the Battle of Hoth. Haven Base was constructed in an underground grotto, where crystalline structures channeled heat and electricity from the planet's core, providing the Alliance forces with ready sources of power without additional equipment. It was later discovered that an entire city, albeit abandoned, was located beneath the base's location, with architecture dating back to the pre-Republic days of Xim the Despot. It was in this ancient city, built by the original Arbran race, that the Darker lived. (PH)

Haven Jace
This was one of the few New Republic medical frigates that survived the Battle of Coruscant and retreated to Borleias, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (EL1)

Haven Water
This was the name of the pure, spring water bottled by Mister Mxil on the planet Port Haven. It came out of the ground at incredibly cold temperatures, which resulted in a low mist hanging over the spring when it hit the warm jungle air. (PSPG)

Haven, The
This rough-and-tumble, Mid Rim cantina was owned and operated by the Ithorian known as Womwa, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. As the patrons of the Haven were fond of saying, the glasses at the Haven were only as clean as the sleeve that just wiped them. Despite the rundown appearance of the Haven, it was believed that Womwa was nonetheless exceptionally wealthy, using the cantina as a front for his spice trafficking operations. (UA)

Haven's Water
This was the name of the cantina maintained by Mister Mxil on the planet Port Haven, during the height of the New Order. (PSPG)

Haverel, Larr
This man served the Imperial Army as a General, and was in command of the ground forces dispatched to Captain Dagon Niriz and the Admonitor during its journeys through the Unknown Regions. Haverel resented being considered part of then-Admiral Thrawn's machinations, chafed at Thrawn's manipulation of his personnel, and planned to force Thrawn to relinquish command to Captain Niriz after their encounter with Creysis and the Ebruchi pirates. His attempt to mutiny was cut short when Creysis' pirates changed their tactics, and the Admonitor was thrust intp battle. Thrawn, however, didn't forget Haverel's actions, and had him returned for Coruscant for court-martial. (SWJ11)

Haverling
This planet joined the New Republic after the Battle of Endor. A shipyard was erected there, and supported the Republic's fleet in the sector. (SOP)

Havero, Jain
This well-muscled, blond-haired man was known as one of the best combat fighters on the planet Shiva IV during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He pledged his support to Aron Peacebringer, working to cement a bond between the human and T'Syirel populations of the planet. His prowess with all manner of weapons often went to his head, and he sometimes got careless in his fighting. Luckily for Havero, one of his comrades always kept an eye on him, and covered him when he got into trouble. During a mission to investigate the fate of the city of K'avor, Jain 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. (MC53)

Havighasu, Hatirma
This old smuggler was a friend to Han Solo during his own smuggling days. Havighasu always flew solo, feeling that cooperation was for cowards.

Havla
This was a gourmet kind of toast, favored by many Imperial nobles and dignitaries during the height of the New Order. (GSE, SWG2P)

Havoc
This clone trooper was a member of Tango Company, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Havoc was one of the few troopers in the unit that were not infected by brain worms, during the mission to capture Poggle the Lesser on Geonosis. When the unit left Geonosis aboard the medical frigate TB-73, Havoc helped commanding officer Trap reach their Jedi commanders, after other troopers started acting strangely. The Jedi drew their lightsabers when Trap and Havoc appeared, having already been attacked by Ox and Edge. Trap managed to convince them that he and Havoc were OK, and Havoc then saw to the medical needs of Ox and Edge. However, when Ox and Edge regained consciousness, they infected Havoc with a brain worm, drawing him into their plans to take over the ship and infect the Ord Cestus Medical Center. (CWTV30)

Havoc
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer was under the command of Captain Tulimus, during the siege of Edan II. It was later destroyed when the Alliance, led by the bold plans of Colonel Pertarn, launched a frontal assault on the ship. With the augmented weaponry of the light freighter Vindicator, the Alliance and the Edan rebels managed to destroy the Havoc and liberate the planet. (IAG)

Havoc
This twenty-two-meter-long starship was owned and operated by the Feeorin pirate Nym. It was the first prototype of the Scurrg H-6, a highly experimental and dangerous ship which had been constructed as a prototype bomber by this shipwrights of the Nubian Design Collective. The Nubians decided to scrap the project, much to the dismay of lead engineer Jinkins. It was Jinkins who arranged the theft of the Scurrg H-6 with Nym, and who quit his job on Nubia to join Nym's crew. Jinkins continued to work on the ship, upgrading and enhancing many of its systems. The Havoc was armed with a pair of triple laser cannons on each wing, a turret-mounted double laser cannon on its dorsal side, and a plasma scourge. The original proton bomb launcher was replaced with a "bomblet generator", which produced a continuous supply of extremely destructive energy bombs. An additional missile launcher was also installed to fire proximity mines at enemy ships. The Havoc was also well-shielded. Another of the major modifications Jinkins made was on the ship's command systems. The Scurrg H-6 was originally designed for a crew of five. Jinkins modified the controls and added two dedicated astromech droids to allow Nym to fly the ship by himself if necessary. When flown in atmosphere, the Havoc could attain speeds of 1,000 kilometers per hour, and was equipped with a Class 1.5 hyperdrive for interstellar travel. (OWS, SFT, STF, GMR2, NEGV)

Havoc
An Imperial Strike-class cruiser which intercepted the Alliance frigate Battle of Yavin in the Hensara System. The crew of the frigate were forced to land it on the planet Hensara III, and had to sink it in a deep lake. They lacked the equipment to recover the frigate, and so Rogue Squadron was called in to escort a rescue team to Hensara III. (XWN)

Havocs
This was a gang of Bothan swoop riders who marauded the city of Tal'cara during the height of the New Order. (SPG)

Havod
This deep red alloy was made up of chanlon and hfredium, and was used in the formation of custom starship hulls. It was too difficult to mass-produce, and was rarely used unless specifically ordered by the buyer. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Imperial Admiral Kendel had 100 Star Destroyers specially-commissioned with havod plating. (LOE, SWJ10)

Havok
This was one of the Nebulon-B frigates which were used by the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XW)

Havor
This gunrunner worked with Merglyn, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Both were killed when they tried to run weapons to the planet Kiffex, being shot down by the Guardians of Kiffu. Hidden within their cargo holds was the Jedi Knight Aayla Secura, who was trying to reach Volfe Karkko. (OWS, DRKN)

HAVr A9
This was the official designation of Ubrikkian's Floating Fortress, a repulsorlift craft that was designed to extinguish urban uprisings without the need to call in AT-AT walkers. These floating cylinders had fully-independent, full-sweep heavy blaster cannons mounted on a topside turrent. The two guns could sweep across the field of fire, eventually locking onto the target. The fortress was also equipped with a sophisticated sensor package modeled after assassin droids. The package created a 30-meter bubble around the vehicle that was extremely effective at locating targets, making the HAVr A9 all the more effective, as the sight of a huge repulsor tank homing in on a single target and swiftly eliminating it was awesome to behold. (ISB)

Havricus
This planet, located along the Mid Rim, was beset by stone mites during the year leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN5)

Havridam City
This was one of the largest cities found on the planet New Bakstre. Shortly before the Clone Wars, the Mechanical Liberation Front destroyed a large portion of the city, in an effort to "free" a shipment of XM-15 Vindicator missiles. The clumsy activists set off the missile's explosives, killing fourteen members of their party and destroying almost 2,000 square kilometers of the city. (HNN5)

HAVT B5 Juggernaut
This variant on the HAVw A6 Juggernaut used during the Clone Wars, and the HAVw A5 Juggernaut used by the Empire, was lighter and more maneuverable than its predecessors. The primary mission profile the HAVT B5 was troop transportation, although it was still impressively armed and armored. (LAWS)

HAVw A5
Kuat Drive Yards' heavy ground assault vehicle (GAV), the HAVw A5 was nicknamed the Juggernaut, or the Rolling Slab. The Juggernaut was originally produced during the last years of the Old Republic along with the HAVw A6, although it primarily marketed to planetary defense forces. After the Clone Wars, the Juggernaut became one of the Empire's oldest, and most durable, GAVs. The HAVw A5 based on the design of the AT-TE used by the Army of the Republic, but it moved on five sets of wheels and did not have a repulsorlift. At twenty-two meters in length and standing fifteen meters tall, the vehicle resembled the AT-TE's top section, and much of the A5's armor plating was identical to that used on the AT-TE. Juggernauts were well-armed, with 3 heavy laser cannons, a single medium blaster cannon, and two concussion grenade launchers. The HAVw A5 required a crew of 8, one of which must man the observation tower which protrudes above the main body. This crewer relayed information about upcoming terrain to the cockpit; without him, the Juggernaut could become mired in treacherous terrain. The Juggernaut also ha room to carry up to 50 troops and 1,000 kilograms of cargo. As the Imperial war machine began to rely more and more on the AT-AT walker, many Juggernauts were surplused, and ended up in the hands of crimelords and planetary warlords. (ISB, AEG, NEGV, TCG10, SWDB)

HAVw A6 Juggernaut
This immense, ten-wheeled tank was developed by Kuat Drive Yards for the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Similar to the HAVw A5, which was utilized during the era of the Empire, the HAVw A6 had wheels that were made up of three independently-spinning segments, and was attached to the vehicle by a fully-independent suspension. This set-up allowed the HAVw A6 Juggernaut to move over even the most inhospitable terraion with relative ease. Although the forward section contained the main cockpit and operations center for the Juggernaut, the smaller cockpit at the read of the vehicle was also capable of controlling its movement, allowing the vehicle to move forward or backward with a simple transfer of command. Measuring 49.4 meters in length and 30.4 meters in height, including the telecsoping observation post, the HAVw A6 was a formidable site to see on the battlefield. A dedicated crew of twelve clone troopers was required to operate the vehicle, and extra personnel were needed to man the weapons stations. Weaponry aboard the Juggernaut included a turret-mounted heavy laser cannon, a repeating laser cannon, two antipersonnel laser cannons, a pair of twin blaster cannons, and two projectile launching systems. A dedicated 2-1B medical droid was also stationed within the armor hull of the HAVw A6, to administer to injured troopers during battle. Although most of the interior was dedicated to the massive reactor that supplied the Juggernaut with power, up to 300 troopers could be crammed inside, depending on other cargo. When not used to troop movement, the HAVw A6 could accommodate up to thirty metric tons of cargo. Despite its size, the Juggernaut could attain speeds of up to 160 kilometers per hour over smooth terrain. Operation of the HAVw A6 was performed by a crew of twelve, while eight additional troopers were needed to handle the weaponry. (TCG10, ISB, X3, SWDB, WOTC)

Hawk
This clone trooper was one of the multitude that participated in the Clone Wars, serving the 501st Clone Trooper Battalion of the Grand Army of the Republic. Named for the fact that his eyes were as good as those of a hawk, Lieutenant Hawk served as a pilot during the Battle of Christophsis, and was known for his ability to get an LAAT/i into a battlezone while taking as little damage as possible. Unfortunately, Hawk was among the many members of Torrent Company who were killed on Teth. (CWN, CWTV16)

Hawkbat
This was one of Imperial warlord Zsinj's supply ships, and was sent to rendezvous with the Night Caller shortly before it was ordered to attack Talasea. Zsinj ordered it to dock with the Night Caller and perform a routine inspection, although the Night Caller had actually been captured by Wraith Squadron and the New Republic. (WS)

Hawk-bat
This species of kite-like avian creatures was native to the planet Coruscant, and was believed to be the only species of creature originally native to the planet to survive into the modern era. They had metallic talons and hunted in flocks. Their eggs were considered a delicacy by the aristocracy of the Old Republic. Their flesh was also discovered to be edible by the Ortolan chef, Handree Braman, who recommended that it be cooked at 1,000 degrees for no more than twenty minutes. The average hawk-bat had extremely well-developed eyes, capable of seeing into a wide range of spectra beyond normal light. Young hawk-bats were hatched from eggs, had green skin, and were fully independent from birth. Upon reaching maturity, the hawk-bat would shed its green skin and emerge as an adult, with purplish-grey skin. Hawk-bats tended to live in large flocks, with each flock staking out a territory in the urban jungle of Coruscant. These avians had excellent nightvision, and their tenacious existence became a sort of symbol for the common being's plight in the galaxy. (JS, DA, DMSH, EGA, WSW)

This was a swoop gang that was formed in the undercity of the planet Coruscant, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (AA)

Hawk-bat Independent Space Force
This was the name of the pirate identities used by Wraith Squadron during their attempt to infiltrate Warlord Zsinj's forces. Several of the Wraiths donned makeup and became Hawk-bats, in order to hide their identitied from anyone they met with. The Hawk-bats concentrated their early efforts on the planet Halmad, which was just outside Zsinj's area of control. Their base was situated in an abandoned mine, designated A3 by Tonheld Mining Corporation, within a large asteroid in the Halmad system. After stealing several TIE Interceptors from the garrison in Hullis, and pirating the cargoes of a number of Halmad-based shippers, Zsinj finally stepped in and took protective control of Halmad. He then offered the Hawk-bats a chance to join him, rather than fight against him. They agreed to participate in Zsinj's raid on Kuat, where the New Republic's forces - led by Han Solo and the Mon Remonda - nearly caught the rogue Warlord. (IF, SOC)

This small, dark-skinned man was a contemporary of Professor Movac Arisster at the University of Pangalactic Cultural Studies on Lorrd, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. However, when Arisster decided to die in a blaze of glory, he captured Haxan and held him hostage. After Arisster strapped a layer of explosives to his own back, he then had Haxan's body strapped on top of the explosives. Arisster then went into the aquarium in front of the Lorrd Academy for Aquatic Studies and threatened to blow both of them up unless he could talk to Nelani Dinn. Jacen Solo arrived with Nelani, but found that he had no time for dealing with the distraught man. Claiming that the only option available to him, Jacen used the Force to set off Arisster's explosives, killing both Arisster and Haxan in a blast that was largely contained by the aquarium. Jacen later explained that setting off the explosives in the aquarium limited the scope of the damage that Arisster might have caused. (LF1)

Hayze, Darth
This was the Sith name taken by the failed Jedi Knight Haazen, after he assumed control of the planet Coruscant, near the end of the Mandalorian Wars. Haazen had developed his own interpretation of the Rogue Moon Prophecy, naming himself as the one who stood apart because he was both Jedi and Sith. He believed that he could rule the Jedi and the Sith with a single hand, keeping them both in perfect balance and always in competition. The name Darth Hayze served as a reminder of how he had worked within the clouds of deception to gain his position of power. Upon naming himself Darth Hayze, Haazen named Lucien Draay to serve as the trainer of his Sith army, and offered him the title of Darth Sion. (KOR10)

Hazad's Skytunnel

(WOTC, JKA)

Haziz Downside
This section of the city of Hariz, on the planet N'zoth, was the base of the city's primary defense force. It was also here that the Aramadia was preserved. Note that Coruscant and the Core Worlds indicates that the Aramadia was a Super-class Star Destroyer, preserved in the city of Hariz as an inspiration to future generations of Yevetha. (CCW)

Hazz, Tokra
This Kel Dor was a member of the Baran Do Sages, during the final years of the Old Republic. The history of the Baran Do Sages revealed that Tokra Hazz had been greatly affected by the events of the Clone Wars and the Jedi Purge, although he was only minimally affected by the loss of life during that era. Instead, Tokra Hazz agonized about the loss of knowledge after the Jedi Temple was destroyed, since millennia of collected lore was lost when the Temple was razed. Recognizing that the newly-named Emperor Palpatine might destroy other sources of knowledge about the Force, Tokra Hazz put plans in motion to secure the knowledge of the Baran Do. After ensuring that a group of Baran Do Masters were kept safe in case of an invasion, Tokra Hazz began the construction of what would be known as the Caverns of the Hidden One, a collection of caves and tunnels that would house and protect the knowledge that had been gathered throughout the history of the Baran Do. Tokra Hazz eventually assumed the role of the Hidden One, some twenty years before the Second Galactic Civil War. In order to esnure the safekeeping of Baran Do lore, Tokra Hazz recruited only those Kel Dor who were totally committed to his vision, since they could never leave the Caverns of the Hidden One. By making the journey to the caverns a one-way trip, Tokra Hazz hoped to prevent any knowledge of the caverns' location from ever reaching the outside world. (FJ1)

Hazzard
This planet was the homeworld of spacer Boo Rawl. (SWJ9)

HB-4
This projectile-firing hunting rifle was produced by Prax Arms during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was unique in that it allowed a trained marksman to virtually ensure a one-shot attack. Trailing behind the projectile was a monofilament cord which fed flight adjustment to the projectile's barbed head. As long as the being who fired the weapon maintained a direct line-of-sight to their target, the HB-4 provided the flight data to the projectile, virtually ensuring a direct hit. (GFT)

HB-9
This primitive blaster rifle was produced by Zenoti Arms, and was noted for its ornate, handcarved body. The HB-9 was the primary weapon of the Utapaun military, during the height of the Clone Wars. (VD3)

H'broozin, Jook-jook
This former Jedi Master was one of many who abandoned the Jedi Order to join the Dark Jedi who supported Xendor, during the era of the First Great Schism. Master H'broozin managed to convince several other Jedi Knights to join him in leaving the order, including Blendri and her apprentice, Cuthallox. In the fighting that took place between the forces of dark and light, Master H'broozin was tracked to Corulag by his former apprentice, Danzigorro Potts, who ran H'broozin through with his lightsaber. (EGF)

HBt-4
This model of hunting blaster was manufactured by Herloss during the height of the New Order. The HBt-4 was slightly heavier and larger than most weapons in its class, and was designed for big-game hunting on the frontier worlds of the Outer Rim. Its design was based on that of the Light Sport, which Herloss licensed from the Drearian Defense Conglomerate. The HBt-4 was given increased stopping power at the expense of the Light Sport's range, to ensure that the user killed what it was shooting at. (GFT, AEG)

H'buk
This being made a living selling glitterstim on the planet Atzerri, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. H'buk made several poor decisions, and ended up some 400,000 credits in debt to the Traders' Coalition some ten years after the war. In order to teach H'buk a lesson, the Traders' Coalition hired Boba Fett to track him down and captured him. Once captured, H'buk offered Fett all manner of compensation to let him go. Fett refused them all, especially when H'buk offered him the "services" of his daughter, and the bounty hunter eventually turned H'buk over to the Coalition. (SWI89, LF2)

A metal ore mining and refinery which operated on Af'El during the height of the New Order. (CRO)

HD 5-D
This experimental hyperdrive booster first hit the market after the Battle of Yavin. It functioned by shunting more power through a starship's engines that what would normally be allowed, making its hyperdrive more powerful and reducing transit times. However, this practice of overloading the engine systems was as dangerous as it was alluring, and the HD 5-D had a tendency to burn out after several uses, causing great damage to the main drive systems. (GFT)

HD-234-C
This Hapan harvester droid was designed for light agricultural duty, and was not equipped with an internal shredding device. (CPL)

Head for Hyperspace
This was a slang term used by gamblers during the era of the Galactic Civil War to describe the act of quickly and smoothly extricating oneself from a bad business deal. Similar to the terms cutting out or counting out, heading for hyperspace was often necessary in order to avoid potential trouble later in life. (SWJ4, OWS)

Head Hunter
This was a nickname used to describe the Amanin race, stemming from the Amanin tradition of carrying the skulls of their dead enemies on long staffs. (NEGA)

Head Tails
This was the Basic term used to describe lekku, the two tentacular appendages that were found growing from the rear of a Twi'lek's head. These head tails served a number of purposes. First and foremost, they were a source of vanity, as hair or feathers were to other races. They were also used in a silent form of communication among individual Twi'leks. The head tails also served a ceremonial and sensual role in the dances performed by Twi'lek females. This term also referred to the striped montrals of the Togruta. (E5, MTS, CWNOP)

Headache Bar
This seedy cantina was located on level 20 of the cityscape that covered Nar Shaddaa. During the early years of the New Order, the Headache bar was known as a steady source of tempest spice. Much of the interior of the Headache Bar was poorly lit, which suited many of its inebriated patrons just fine. It was rumored that, at any given time, one of the apparently passed out beings was actually dead, slumped up against the bar. (TF)

HeadBanger
This Czerka riot gun was considered the ultimate in crowd control, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Its powerful stun blasts were capable of subduing any being, regardless of size or constitution. Most humans who were hit with the stun blast from a HeadBanger were rendered unconscious for three to four days. (DN2)

Head-clan
This was the name given to the group of five Twi'Leks that led their community, on the planet Ryloth. The duration of leadership was defined by shortest lifespan among the five members. When one member of the head-clan died, the remaining four members were cast out from the community and sentenced to a virtual death at the hands of Ryloth's extreme environment. In this way, corruption and politically-motivated killings were reduced to a minimum, as the intentional death of another member of the head-clan meant certain death for the others. (COTF)

Headhunter
This was Kyp Durron's callsign during the evacuation of the Jedi Knights' base on Eclipse, some two years after the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. (SBS)

Healer's Guild
This Old Republic guild was formed from those doctors and physicians who preferred to use natural or organic methods to treat maladies. (SWJ2)

Healing Crystals of Fire
These firey gemstones were among the greatest treasures of the Jedi Knights. Maintained under tight security in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, they were used heal serious wounds. Inside each gemstone was an eternal flame. Xanatos attempted to steal these stones, along with a cache of vertex crystals, several years after he left the Jedi Order. He attempted to cover up his plans by also attempting to kill Yoda and destroy the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. (UP, CT)

Healing Hermit
This was the nickname used by the surviving natives of the planet Ruusan to describe the healer Darovit, in the years that followed the Battle of Ruusan. Darovit used his connection to the Force, as well as his knowledge of natural healing techniques, to help the natives survive the ecological and environment changes that ravaged the planet. (DBRT)

Healing Ocean
This was one of three oceans found on the planet Merisee. (PG3)

Healing Star
This medical frigate was part of the Galactic Alliance Defense Force fleet that accompanied the Megador to Tenupe, during the final stages of the Swarm War. It was purposely crewed by a collection of droids, as part of a ruse created by Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. After his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, and Jacen Solo were injured during their initial attempt to eliminate Lomi Plo, Luke alluded to the fact that they were safely away from Tenupe and receiving medical treatment. Lomi Plo siezed on this information and ordered Killik dartships to attack the Healing Star, in an effort to force Luke to divert his attention to the safety of his wife and nephew. Luke knew, though, that Mara and Jacen were safely on Coruscant, and so his resolve never failed. Lomi Plo, however, was caught off-guard by Luke's devious plan, giving the Jedi Master a chance to cut her apart with his lightsaber. (DN3)

Healing Stick
This medical device was developed on Pydyr, and found galxy-wide acceptance before the creation of bacta. The healing stick was made from a white, powdery substance which could be rubbed onto a wound . The powder began healing on contact, foaming around the wound as it worked. The stick worked best if the injured being was asleep. (TNR)

Healy Gripper
This specialized medical device was used during surgery to extract metal fragments, such as shrapnel, from within a living body. The blunt, smooth face of the healy gripper helped to minimize any extraneous injury that might occur while removing the foreign body. (MBS)

HEAP Missile
This was the designation of any weapon used to breach the armor of an enemy vehicle. Developed by the Old Republic during the Clone Waars, HEAP weapons were High-Explosive, Armor-Piercing missiles used to defeat the massive, ground-based droid artillery of the Separatist forces. (SS2)

Heart of Dathomir
This dense nebula was located near the planet Dathomir. The natives of Dathomir believed that the Heart of Dathomir had a mind of its own, a belief that was taken to the extreme by the Dark Veil Order. The sisters of the Order claimed that a ferocious knot of rage - known as Dathomir's Vitality - was located at the center of the nebula. The nebula was named for its deep, pulsating red color. (SWGAL)

Heart of D'vouran
This was the name used by the Enzeen to describe the original feeding orifice of the planet D'vouran. It appeared to be made of living mud, and resembled a deep, wide pit located below the surface of the planet. The Enzeen would lure unsuspecting tourists to the underground location, then lower them into the pit in order for the planet to devour them. Later, when D'vouran became self-sufficient, the Heart was no longer needed, as the planet could consume a being located anywhere on the planet by simply opening up a hole na drawing them in. The Enzeen themselves avoided being eaten by wearing a small pendant which contained a force field generator that shielded their life-force from the planet. (GOF1)

Heart of Fire
This egg-shaped gemstone was found on the planet Kiffu. Named for the inner glow that suffused the stone, a heart of fire was believed to hold a small piece of an individual's spirit. These gemstones were often given as gifts, and it was said that any stone given as a gift contained not only the giver's spirit but that of the receiver as well. The crystalline structure of a heart of fire gemstone was considered grainy, although this meant that an individual stone could be easily cut into shape, if one knew the direction in which the grain was going.

Coloration of these gemstones varied, with the most common colors being red and orange. However, other colors were known to exist, including blue, which was considered very rare. Every so often, a stone with a rainbow of colors was found, and these were considered to be the rarest of all heart of fire stones. Even more rare were deep-blue stones that exhibited a rainbow of colors when exposed to bright sunlight, which commanded exorbitant prices among jewelers and collectors. Boba Fett commissioned one of these blue stones for Sintas Vel, after she was brought out of carbonite hibernation and restored to health. (DHE2, LF2, LF5, LF8)

Heart of Flesh
This Qektoth Attack Cruiser was dispatched to Yvara to collect specimens of Yvarema. The Qektoth Confederacy hoped to bio-engineer a human hive-mind, and planned to experiment on the Yvarema mammalian hive. The Heart of Flesh was developed in a secret facility in the Kathol Rift, during the time that the Scourge was first used in combat by the Confederacy. The Heart of Flesh was intercepted by the New Republic corvette FarStar. (KR)

Heart of Graush
This immense jewel was imbued with the Dark Side of the Force by Dathka Graush more than 7,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Graush removed his own heart and replaced it with the jewel, hoping to keep himself alive forever. It was believed that the jewel contained over a thousand Sith spirits, but it didn't prevent Graush's inevitable death. The Heart of Graush was buried with him in his tomb on Korriban, where it waited for another being to touch it. The Heart would then take possession of their spirit, giving Graush momentary life. As long as the Heart remained in contact with the being, Graush could regenerate. The Heart was found by Naz Felyood, captain of the Jynni's Virtue, during the height of the New Order. The ship had crash-landed on Korriban after escaping an Imperial boarding party, and Felyood set out to scout their location. He stumbled into Graush's tomb and tried to take the Heart, inviting the possession of the Sith spirit and unleashing the Korriban Zombies. However, the Heart was lost when Babbnod Luroon destroyed the Jynni's Virtue, and Captain Felyood was doomed to wander Korriban forever as an undead being, searching in vain for the Heart of Graush. The logs of the Jynni's Virtue were later found by Jedi historians during the early years of the New Republic, locked inside Dathka Graush's tomb, which apparently had been unopened for 7,000 years. Recordings indicated that the Heart was taken by one of the Korriban Zombies, but may have been destroyed in the explosion of the Jynni's Virtue. (PH)

Heart of the Bright Jewel
This was a name used to describe the planet Ord Mantell. (SL)

Heart of the Guardian
This ancient artifact was uncovered in the shop of Suvam Tan, on Yavin Station, more than 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. The Heart itself was simply a crystal, although it was imbued with the power of the Force. When used in conjunction with other crystals in the construction of a lightsaber, the Heart of the Guardian was believed to have the ability to alter the abilities of the blade, giving the wielder unusual powers. When used in a lightsaber, the Heart of the Guardian produced a blade which had an intense orange color. Ancient texts unearthed on remote worlds indicate that the Heart of the Guardian was instrumental in the founding of the Jedi Order, but no details were ever uncovered. (KOTOR)

Heart of the Universe
This ancient Jedi tool was a wondrous gem created by Jaled Dur. References to the existence of the Heart were discovered by Alliance agents during the Galactic Civil War, although it was being held by the Dark Jedi Croym. A group of Force-sensitive agents managed to infiltrate Croyn's castle and recover the Heart before it could be used for evil. (GMS)

Heart Stun
This was one of the more arcane skills that were practiced by the Sith. The use of a heart stun allowed a Sith to literally stop the beating of another being's heart, placing the heart in a temporary stasis until the effect wore off. By using this technique, a Dark Jedi or Sith could capture an enemy without having to engage them in battle, and then humiliate them later. The Sith could also use the technique to bring about a temporary halt to the process of dying, allowing an injured being to be transported to a hospital. It was rumored that Count Dooku used the heart stun technique to keep the Kalee warrior known as Grievous alive, long enough to transport his dying body to Geonosis for its cybernetic transformation. (VIS)

It was here that she and Sprig met Tinian I'att and Daye Azur-Jamin. When Tinian's grandparents were murdered by Eisen Kerioth, Twilit and Sprig helped her escape by disguising her as a member of the band. Twilit remained on Druckenwell while Sprig and the band got Tinian offworld, allowing Tinian to portray the band's lead singer. Twilit often wore shimmering, silky dresses that revealed more than they covered. (SWJ4, SWJ10, TFE)

Heas
This Imperial Governor was in charge of Feris City during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GG10)

Heat Induction Staff
Produced by Salasetti Survival Systems, this device was based on a Rodian weapon design. It provided a user with a way to heat up solid matter to generate heat. An array of low-intensity lasers emitted a beam of energy that did little damage to the structure of its target, except to heat up its internal temperature. In this way, rocks and metals could be safely heated up to provide several hours' worth of warmth. (GFT)

Heat Storm
This was the name given to the intense storms that swept over the surface of the planet Ryloth. Ryloth was tide-locked with its primary star, meaning that one side was perpetually facing the sun, while the other side was completely dark. Thus, the sunward side was baked to a dry, sizzling crisp, while the dark side was a frozen wasteland. At the terminator line, where the light of the sun gave way to darkness, was a somewhat moderate zone that allowed the Twi'leks and other creatures to eke out an existence. However, the boiling heat from the sunward side often stirred up massive eddies of wind, creating the heat storm as it gained strength. Most heat storms formed near the terminator, where the winds were strongest, and moved across the terminator line with incredible fury. However, these storms were less hot than those that were spawned deep in the Bright Lands. Heat storms were named for the incredibly high temperature of their winds, but these storms also contained scouring torrents of sand and grit that had been whipped up by their passage. It was the rare individual who survived a heat storm out in the open. (SWSB, TS)

Heatbeam
This unusual device produced a focused beam of light that instantly heated up whatever it was aimed at. Although designed for use in manufacturing and as a piece of survival gear, a heatbeam could also be used as a weapon. (HSL)

Heater
One of Jabba the Hutt's henchmen, Heater operated the cruise ship Dune Princess during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Heater made sure that the Dune Princess was slightly smaller than Jabba's own sail barge, so that he didn't appear to be any better than the Hutt. After Han Solo killed Greedo in the Mos Eisley Cantina, Jabba ordered Heater to hire bounty hunters to bring Solo to justice. (E4R, LAA, SWJ4, OWS)

Heat-seal Blanket
This form of protective blanket was popular with adventurers and explorers. The fabric that formed the blanket could literally seal itself around a being's body, helping to retain body heat in cold-weather environments. A strong tug on the blanket was required to break the seal, ensuring that normal movement during sleep didn't cause a loss of heat. (CWWS)

Heat-seeking Laser Mine
An Imperial deep-space mine used to defend shipyards and as a last defense for stranded starships. Once deployed, these mines lock onto intense heat sources, such as starship exhaust nacelles, and fire on these assumed targets. (XW)

This Imperial hovercraft was a massive weapons platform. It was armed with a massive projectile weapon launcher, which could be fired at a target from the air above or from a remote location. The weapon launched large numbers of projectiles at a single firing, and was capable of destroying an entire manufacturing facility or garrison base in short order. (FC)

Heavy Blaster Blues
This song, written and played by the band Deeply Religious, was banned by the Imperial Board of Culture. It first appeared on the compilation Advanced Explosives Handbook. (GG9)

Heavy Grav Mountainous Zone
This range of mountains was terraformed on the planet OM813, also known as Thrantin, by Barosa Warren. It served as one of the many obstacles that had to be traversed by students of the Galactic Outdoor Survival School. By installed gravitic generators in the mountains themselves, Warren created a rocky region where gravity was heavier than standard, creating a harsh wilderness for students to trek through. (AIR, OWS)

Heavy Hauler
This was to be a larger version of the Kazellis Light Freighter, with expanded cargo capacity and more power. Unfortunately for Kazellis, it was nationalized by the Empire before it could produce the Heavy Hauler. (SS)

Heavy Isotope
This was the name given to a loud style of music, with a heartbeat bass and melody, which was popular among the youth of the last decades of the Old Republic. (MBS)

Heavy Lifter
Similar to cargo-lifters, these small craft measured twenty-five meters or less in length, and had grasping arms mounted beneath their hulls to hold onto small cargo containers. These craft were often unarmed and unshielded, with light, 10-RU hulls. They were rated at 20 MGLT. (TIE)

Heavy Lightning Rifle
This custom-crafted blaster rifle was a more powerful, and more accurate, version of the basic Lighting Rifle. It fired an intense, cohesive blast of electrical energy at a target, essentially hitting the target with a bolt of lightning. Like its predecessor, the Heavy Lightning Rifle was favored by bounty hunters for its accuracy and power. (SWGAL)

Heavy Missile Platform
see HMP Droid Gunship (WOTC)

Heavy Particle Beam Cannon
This was a large-bore laser cannon. (SWG2P)

Heavy Repeater
This handheld weapon was developed by the Imperial armed forces during the early years of the New Republic. It was created to fire a spray of metallic bolts, instead of coherent laser energy, making it an extermely destructive weapon. The Heavy Repeater could be upgraded to have a concussion grenade launcher mounted on the underside of the barrel for added impact. (JK2)

Heavy Republic Flame Thrower
This flame-projection weapon was produced for the Grand Army of the Republic, and was used by specialized clone troopers to suppress unarmed targets or to lay down a covering swath of fire. (SWGAL)

Heavy STAP
This was a less-agile version of the STAP-1 platform developed by the Trade Federation for by its battle droids. The Heavy STAP had enhanced armor plating, heavier laser cannons, and a missile launcher, all of which made the vehicle slower and less maneuverable that a standard STAP. This led to the deployment of Heavy STAPs as scouts, or for eliminating retreating enemies. (NEGV)

Heavy Tracker
One of Mekuun's combat assault vehicles, the Heavy Tracker was considered more of a mobile scanning unit by most army commanders. It was equipped with an omniprobe sensor array, which could be programmed to hug the ground and search out targets. The Heavy Tracker was armed with a single heavy laser cannon, but its armor plating was more than a match for most artillery weapons. (RASB)

Heavy Tracker 16
SoroSuub's personal blaster rifle, the Heavy Tracker 16 wasn't as reliable or versatile as the BlasTech E-11, which served as its design basis. The weapon was a thick-barreled rifle that was built to be durable and tough, which made it somewhat unwieldy for many police agencies. (RASB, EGW, AEG)

Heavy Weapons Specialists
This branch of the Alliance's Special Forces units were trained in the doctrines and use of laser weapons, artillery, and other heavy-duty weaponry. They were considered the 6th Regiment of the SpecForces of the Alliance. (RASB, ROE)

Heavy-95
This was the familiar name given to a series of Z-95 Headhunters that were modified by the Alliance during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. These fighters were equipped with cross-body strakes that provided better heat dissipation as well as allowing the chassis to support a heavier load. Thus, the name Heavy-95 was coined. The development of the Heavy-95 allowed the Alliance's meager naval forces to keep pace with the Empire's growig starfleet, before the availability of the X-Wing. The cross-body strakes were later adapted for use on the X-Wing to assist with heat dissipation and to provide additional support for the chassis. (SWGAL)

Hebeth
This ball of molten rock was the third world in the Beheboth System. (PH)

Hebine Ring
This asteroid belt was located in the Beheboth System, between the worlds of Hebeth and Beheboth. (PH)

This small starship manufacturer produced a series of small transport shuttles during the New Order. (GMK)

Hedda
This young man was a Jedi Knight who was stationed on the planet Ossus, protecting the Jedi training facility there during the Galactic Alliance's conflict with The Confederation. Unfortunately, Hedda was killed in the line of duty, when Major Serpa of the Galactic Alliance Guard arrived and took control of the facility. She was shot in her dorm room, before she could act to defend the younglings in her charge. (LF6)

Hedji
This Spiner warrior was one of the last of his species. He and Han Solo teamed up for a number of adventures following the Battle of Yavin, including ousting Serji-X Arogantus from his position on Aduba-3. Despite their success in defeating Serji-X, Hedji and his companions were ill-prepared for the uncontrollable Behemoth. When Don-Wan Kihotay tried to defeat the beast in single combat, Hedji and Jaxxon decided to lend their assistance. Unfortunately, one blast from the Behemoth's organic blaster killed Hedji before he could help. (MC8, MC10)

Hedreg
This was a common name among the Drall. (UANT)

Hedrett
This was one of two cities founded by Reidi Artom, when she returned to the Cularin System after filing for the discovery rights to it. It was considered a twin city to Gadrin. Hedrett was established at the base of Cloud Mountain, across the Estauril River from Gadrin, when the population of Gadrin expanded too rapidly. During the last decades of the Old Republic, the city of Hedrett governed itself, with a Town Council taking the place of the governorship used in Gadrin. During the height of the Clone Wars, Hedrett was the site of a titanic battle between a group of clone led by Jedi Knights and a devestating droid. It was believed that this droid was General Grievous, but the natives of Cularin spoke little of the actual event to outsiders. (LFC, LFCW)

Hedrett Groundport
This public-access spaceport was located in Hedrett, on the planet Cularin, and provided travelers with flights aboard any number of shuttles and transports, to destinations within the Cularin System. (FOC2, BIT1)

Hedrett Holovid
This small holovid rental company was owned and operated by Gar Bettle, during the final years of the Old Republic. Located in Hedrett, on the planet Cularin, the small ship catered to a wide variety of customers. At one point, Nek Lawsirk was a regular customer. (FOC2)

Hedrett Medical Center
This was the primary medical facility in the city of Hedrett, on the planet Cularin, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (LFCW)

Hedrett Shipping and Investment
This shipping and supply agency, headquartered in the city of Hedrett, on Cularin, employed a number of freelance pilots during the final years of the Old Republic. The use of independent spacers allowed the agency to keep operating costs down, while maximizing profits from the sale and distribution of various goods and sundries. Most of its merchandise was purchased on speculation, allowing the agency to amass large quantities of necessary or popular items before they were needed. These items were then sold at a profit for Hedrett Shipping and Investment, which became the largest source in the Cularin System. (AYS)

Hedron, Mol
This Imperial intelligence agent was a native of the planet Swarquen. He served the Empire for many years before the Battle of Yavin, and was not heard from until three years after the Battle of Endor. Then, he was encountered stealing information on the newest starships designs of the New Republic from the Sluis Van shipyards. He eluded capture, but not before beaming information on the starships to an unknown Imperial location. (WBC)

Hedrys City
This was one of the major cities located on the planet Norne. (CRO)

Heedon
This man was the owner and operated of the Starcrossed, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was notable for his hatred of his own first name, which he refused to use. He was something of an aristocrat, and owned a luxury cruise line business. However, the Starcrossed was the only ship in his fleet. He supported the Alliance, if only because he wanted the Emperor overthrown so that wealthy families could afford his cruises again. He was responsible for rescuing Sayer Mon Neela from Captain Lanox aboard the Imperial Hazard. (SWJ10)

Heedra
This man was the Imperial Moff, in command of Baxel Sector, during the height of the New Order. He worked hard to drive the Hutts from the planets they controlled in the sector, including Lirra. (SWJ12)

Heega
This word from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "sky." (GPB)

Heep, Dol
This Avoni was the primary force behind a plot to take control of the planet Radnor, some years after the Battle of Naboo. Dol Heep approached the Radnoran siblings, Galena and Curi, with an offer to purchase some of their weapons technology. Curi refused, and Dol Heelp began secretly meeting with Galen to obtain the technology he wanted. Galen, for his part, served Dol Heep well. Dol Heep was ostensibly "trapped" on Radnor when an endemic plague was unleashed in the city of Aubendo, five years before the onset of the Clone Wars, but was actually overseeing the evacuation of Radnorans in order to steal their wealth and then their planet. The Avoni purchased a huge number of prototype battle droids developed by the Radnorans, using them to secure parts of the planet while keeping the Jedi Knights - who were on Radnor to ensure an orderly evacuation - at bay. Unfortunately for the Avoni, the plans set in motion by Dol Heep were discovered by the Jedi Knights who were dispatched to Radnor to ensure an orderly evacuation. While he loudly denied any wrong-doing, Dol Heep was arrested on charges of conspiracy to take control of Radnor. (JQ1)

Heer, Noshy
This vagrant never considered himself to be a freeloader, although he was forced to scrounge for credits after losing all his money gambling in the Relatta System. He tried to return to his homeworld of Alderaan, where he had plenty of funds in the bank, but the destruction of the planet left him homeless and poor. He spent the rest of his life cruising around the Outer Rim Territories, finding his way aboard a variety of starships and also staying one step ahead of poverty. (HR)

Hee-sae
This was the Eickarie term for a Prince. (FB)

Heesel
This was a common name among Quarren females. It meant "laughing". (GCG)

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

Heesh
According to Ewok legend, this night spirit tried to make Ewoks fall asleep. (GCG)

Heet
This male Klatooinan and his partner, Viss, worked for Rej Taunt on the Smugglers' Moon of Nar Shaddaa, during the early years of the New Order. Heet had employed Bammy Decree to service his speeders and swoops, and it was the two Klatooinans who recommended that Decree be hired to reconstruct the damaged hulk of the Stellar Envoy. Heet and Viss later accompanied Taunt on his mission to exchange a cargo of frozen eopie meat for a shipment of buzz droids, hoping that his ability to negotiate with the Colicoids would hepl Taunt impress a Black Sun vigo. While Viss accompanied Taunt to the negotiation site, Heet remained with their ship, now renamed the Second Chance, to oversee the lading of the buzz droids and the computer that controlled them. He was surprised when the droids suddenly became active, and started to tear the ship apart. With remote assistance from Bammy, Heet was able to shut down the ship's computer system, which had activated the droids, but their attack left them without a working hyperdrive. They were then intercepted by an Imperial cruiser, and Taunt demanded that they jettison the droids before the Imperials could discover them. However, the bozz droids turned on the Imperial cruiser, cutting it open and causing it to explode. The surviving Imperials captured the Second Chance, and Taunt and Heet were both sent to prison. (MF)

Heff
One of the original settlers of the planet Tatooine, Heff was killed in Mos Eisley for the information he held about Adar Tallon. Jodo Kast intercepted Heff before the Alliance could, and killed him with a Senaari-dipped dart. Heff was a rabbit-like alien who owned Heff's Souvenir Shop. After his death, the shop became the property of his daughter, Tebbi. (TM)

Heff
This was a popular name among the Lepi race. (GMR4)

This business was located in Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, during the era of the Galactic Civil War. (GG7, TM, SWJ7)

Hefi
This planet was the site of the hidden retreat that was owned by Bevel Lemelisk. He fled there when the first Death Star was destroyed, fearing for his life. He was later discovered by Imperial agents. (MTS)

Heg
This was the capital city of the planet Bundim, until it was destroyed in the Battle of Heg, shortly after the Alliance destroyed the first Death Star at Yavin. (GMK)

Hegerty, Soron
Soron Hegerty was a Doctor of Biology who spent a great deal of her time studying the Ssither race on Jatee. She was raised as an Old Republic Army brat, although she had only the best life could provide. She grew up admiring the Old Republic's various alien species, and devoted her education to understanding them more. With the advent of the Empire, Soron and her father were conscripted into duty. She became a member of the Imperial Species Identification Bureau, but was constantly thwarted in her attempts to bring other species into the New Order. After discovering the Ssither on Jatee, she faked her own death and returned to Jatee, where she continually subverted Imperial probes on the planetoid. Doctor Hegerty was later recruited by Imperial Moff Crowal, who provided Hegerty with the resources she needed to fully investigate the alien races of the Unknown Regions. Hegerty reluctantly agreed to rejoin the Empire, and found herself with a wealth of sponsorships. Doctor Hegerty was later assigned to Luke Skywalker's mission to locate the mysterious planet Zonama Sekot, in the wake of the Battle of Borosk, as part of Crowal's goodwill toward the fledgling Galactic Alliance. She had enough experience in the research and investigation of primitive cultures that she hoped to be of assistance in investigating the trail of myths and legends surrounding the rogue planet's movements through the Unknown Regions. Their mission led them to the Klasse Ephemora System, where Sekot had hidden the planet in orbit around Mobus. Doctor Hegerty was fascinated by Ferroan culture, until Sekot arranged for a series of tests to bring the true nature of their mission to light. However, both Luke Skywalker and Jacen Solo were able to convince Sekot that they were searching for a peaceful end to the war, and the planet agreed to follow them back to the galaxy. (SN, FH1, FH3)

Heget
This Imperial Army Colonel was stationed on Shintel during the early years of the New Republic. An old-guard Imperial, Heget nonetheless grew tired of the political backstabbing and personal ambition that drove many of Emperor Palpatine's minions. He got himself transferred to Kathol Sector to avoid two Moffs who were each trying to win his favor, following his leadership of a highly successful special missions team. Once in Kathol Sector, Heget refused to play to Moff Kentor Sarne's personal desires, and was posted to Shintel as punishment. Heget was known as a hard leader who earned the respect of his troops and inspired a deep loyal in his soldiers. (DARK)

Heggel
This Imperial Admiral was placed in charge of the fleet which patrolled Trax Sector, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. He ordered Commander Resner to root out and destroy the rebellious cells of activity in the sector. (GMK)

Heggs, Sam
This spacer once encountered a time warp on a remote ice world. He encountered the warp while he was an old man, and the planet was locked in ice. However, in the warp, Heggs was a young man and the planet was a tropical jungle. In both times, the grumph was the dominant form of life on the world. In a weird twist of time, the older Sam actually pre-dated the younger Sam. The young Sam was being attacked by a grown grumph, and was cornered when the old Sam found him. The old Sam began destroying grumph eggs, in an effort to remove the attacking grumph from young Sam's world. He succeeded, allowing the young Sam to survive. He carried a grumph egg off the planet with him, and ended up in Mos Eisley. There, he met Jeet Travis, and exchanged the story and the egg for a bottle of Vaschean rye. Travis attempted to drink the eggs juices, which tasted not unlike battery acid. (TMEC)

Heglum
A very light, synthetic gas used in dirigibles. It was sometimes found in nebulae and other gaseous clouds, and bonded to sublight drives. This required that ships passing through heglum clouds undergo regular scrubbing of their drive systems to maintain optimal performance. (GG2, KR)

Heiff, Vengnar
This green-skinned, reptilian being was one of the Empire's most efficient and dangerous torturers. In fact, he was often referred to simply as The Torturer. Little was known about his background, except for the fact that he was native to a world that was covered with ice. Despite the fact that many felt his methods were too crude, Heiff nevertheless was one of the most successful Imperial agents at extracting information from prisoners. Heiff was dispatched to Ithor, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, to "persuade" some Ithorian prisoners to reveal the secrets of their planet and its abundant resources. However, when the Ithorians rose up against the Imperial interlopers, Heiff was caught in his torture chamber by a mob of Ithorians. He was shot in a firefight, but was not killed, despite his begging and pleading. In the end, the Ithorians chose to keep him alive for further interrogation of their own. (MIS7)

Heights, The
This was the luxurious, upper-class sector of the planet Tirahnn. (LTA1, MCA1)

Heirarch
This was the title given to the religious leaders of the insects who inhabited the moons of the planet Triton. (OWS)

Heitop
This man was part of a small scientific expedition that was lost on the planet Talus, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Heitop and the rest of his party were killed when they stumbled into a cave that was inhabited by a swarm of fynocks. The only evidence of their existence was a datapad that was later recovered from the cave. (SWGAL)

Hejaran, Brigta
This young woman was the niece of Galemus Hejaran, and was in line to inherit a piece of the family's wealth. Unknown to the rest of the family, though, Brigta had been trained on Coruscant as one of Emperor Palpatine' Dark Side Adepts by Sate Pestage himself. When Lucian Hejaran passed away, Brigta traveled back to Nightsinger's Orb to hear his will. Unfortunately, Brigta was left completely out of the will. She then tried to attach herself to the remote member of the Hejaran family who actually inherited Lucian's position as Baron, hoping to gain power and wealth any way she could. However, Lucian's will explicitly stated that Brigta was to be exiled from the Hejaran Castle and Nightsinger's Orb for her affiliations with Emperor Palpatine and the New Order. It was later revealed that it was Brigta who killed Baron Lucian Hejaran and his servant, Pershon, when she was caught in the act of trying to murder Themion. In her attempt to escape, though, she fell from the walls of Hejaran Castle and was killed upon impact. (TSIA)

Hejaran, Galemus
This ancient member of the Hejaran family stepped down from the Barony to turn the family holdings over to his son, Lucian. Shortly before the Battle of Endor, Galemus found himself surviving the death of Lucian, and brought the surviving members of the family back to Nightsinger's Orb to hear Lucian's will. He was nearly killed when Themion Hejaran tried to kill a nightsinger by himself, but instead damaged Galemus' parawing glider and forcing others to rescue Galemus. (TSIA)

Hejaran, Lucian
This old man was the Baron of Hejaran Castle, a part of House Mecetti, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He succumbed to old age shortly before the Battle of Endor, having spent the last years of his life trying to survive in the intricate politics of the Tapani Sector during the New Order. Much to the dismay of his immediate relatives, Lucian left his estate and the majority of his fortune to a little-known and remote member of the family. It was later revealed that Lucian knew of his niece, Brigta's, turn to the Dark Side of the Force, for he exiled her from Nightsinger's Orb. After Brigta was caught trying to murder Themion Hejaran, it was discovered that she used her Dark Side powers to murder Lucian as well. (TSIA)

Hejaran, Themion
The younger brother of Baron Lucian Hejaran, Themion was an avid hunter who took on game and political enemies with the same vicious intensity. He immersed himself in the politics of Tapani Sector and the New Order, and saw his chance to rise in power when Lucian died, shortly before the Battle of Endor. He resented the fact that Brigta Hejaran and a distant member of the family were gathered to Hejaran Castle to hear Lucian's will, and tried to eliminate the "competition" during a traditional nightsinger hunt. Unfortunately, Themion simply earned the wrath of his relatives by trying to kill a nightsinger by himself, and nearly killed old Galemus Hejaran in the attempt. Later, Themion was enraged when Lucian only left him fifteen percent of the family's holdings while bequeathing the family position to the stranger. After Pershon's death, Themion questioned about his activitied and quickly challenged the new heir to the Hejaran throne to a duel. However, after Brigta was caught trying to murder Themion, he withdrew the challenge. After the Solicitor of Baron Lucian's will discovered that the choice of a distant family member to succeed Lucian was a mistake, Themion was rightfully given the Barony. (TSIA)

Hejaran Castle
This was the family fortress of the Hejaran family, part of House Mecetti of Tapani Sector. It was a well-kept edifice located on the moon Nightsinger's Orb. (TSIA)

Hejarbo
This fast-growing species of grass, which was native to the planet Kesh, produced thick shoots as it grew. These shoots sprouted from runners, and grew rapidly once they broke free of the soil. The native Keshiri chopped down hejarbo shoots and lashed them together with twine to create the walls and ceilings of their huts. (LTS2)

Heksa
This man was a member of the Karazak Slavers Cooperative team sent to capture Janissa Locrin. (GG11)

Hekula
This Dug was the son of the noted Podracer Sebulba, and was a racer of some renown during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Sebulba himself retired from active competition, working behind the scenes to ensure Hekula continued winning his races. Although Hekula lacked his father's cunning, he made up for it in sheer brutishness. He also won through cheating, and much of this was because of Sebulba's influence. It was Sebulba who came up with the idea of feeding course information to the podracers while the race was occurring, to make the race more challenging and exciting. It also allowed Sebulba to feed course information to Hekula just prior to sending it to every other racer. (JQ3)

Helas
This unusual creature, native to the moist world of Enaleh, resembled a flying snake or eel. They were filter feeders, but traveled through the air to catch their prey instead of the water. Given Enaleh's damp atmosphere, the helas were amphibious. The offspring evolved in the water, but the adults preferred to fly through the air. Their heads were essentially large baskets, with four jaw-like flaps which opened up to collect small insects. Four long tentacles grew from the corners of their mouths, and presumably helped them detect their prey. Helas lacked wings, and seemed to have an internal organ which acted in much the same was as a repulsorlift engine did. Scientists have been studying the helas species to determine the exact nature of their flying ability, but have been unable to pinpoint it. (COG)

Hela-Tan
This Togorian pirate was one of a group which tried to intercept Darth Maul while the Sith apprentice was en route to Tatooine to capture Queen Amidala. (JDM)

Helaw, Jaim
This man served as an Admiral in the Imperial Navy, during the early years of the New Order. Admiral Helaw was in command of the Star Destroyer Undauntable, and had served as its commander for nearly a decade. Prior to assuming command of the Undauntable, Helaw had served as a Captain aboard the Ion Storm with Conan Antonio Motti.

A career navy man, Helaw was considered one of the most loyal officers in the fleet, and he had refused several desk jobs in order to continue to serve on the front lines. After being assigned to patrol the Atrivis Sector during the construction of the first Death Star, Admiral Helaw decided that the time had come to retire. As soon as the Death Star was completed, he planned to muster out of the military.

Helaw paid a visit to Motti at the construction site of the Death Star to explain his plans, as well as to warn Motti about trusting too much in the space station's technology. Unfortunately, a sabotaged ammunition shipment was delivered to the Undauntable and exploded. Admiral Helaw and a percentage of the crew were killed in the resulting explosion, which also caused considerable damage to the Death Star. Helaw, being a career military man, had no other family. To keep morale up, the Empire later reported that his death had been an accident. (DSTR)

Helb
This Neimoidian worked as a broker for the Tech Raiders, selling equipment by making deals in the various taverns and bars of the Senate District on Coruscant. Unlike most Neimoidians, Helb wore simple clothing so as not to stand out in a crowd. It was Helb who revealed to Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi that Fligh owed a large sum of credits to the Tech Raiders, as payment for a number of favors he had obtained. It was discovered by the Jedi that Helb had employed Fligh to steal Senator Uta S'orn's datapad, in order to thwart her plans to break up the Tech Raiders. (DH)

Helicite
A gypsum formation found on Tatooine. (E4N)

Helicon
An Imperial shuttle assigned to escort Kirtan Loor from Talasea to Vladet. (XWN)

Heliesk
This man served the Empire as the Captain of the Rand Ecliptic, although he was an Alliance sympathizer in his heart. He was in command of the ship when Biggs Darklighter and Derek "Hobbie" Klivian were assigned to it, following their graduation from the Imperial Academy. To potential Alliance recruits, Heliesk was known simply as "Starfire," which was how Biggs and Hobbie found him. Heliesk helped the two reach an Alliance officer and jump ship, after he and Klivan staged a mutiny aboard the Rand Ecliptic when it docked at Bestine. Together they stole the ship and defected to the Alliance. (MTS, EGC)

HELIOS-3D
This spindly assassin droid was one of the bounty hunters recruited by Cad Bane to assist in his mission to free Ziro the Hutt from prison, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. HELIOS-3D was ordered to transport Senator Orn Free Taa to the Republic Judiciary Central Detention Center, then to ensure that the Senator turned over a pardon disc so that the Hutt crimelord could be freed. HELIOS-3D then took Ziro back to the East Wing of the Senate Rotunda where Cad Bane was waiting, and the group fled the scene. In the wake of the assault on Coruscant, HELIOS-3D was placed into a sort of suspension and deposited in the area of he galaxy known as The Thicket. At a pre-arranged time, HELIOS-3D was reactivated, at which time it began to recreate the security network that isolated the planet Iego. (CWTV22, SWDB, CWOC1)

Heliost
This avian creature was native to the Life Zone of the planet Bespin, where it was a popular tourist attraction. The heliost was quite striking, with a leathery skin that was covered by colorful fur, making it a beautiful sight to see against the backdrop of Bespin's orange clouds. The head of the heliost was dominated by a heavy beak and two horns, and the lower jaw of the avian was essentially a large scoop. Where waterfowl would use a similar jaw to catch fish, the heliost used it to sift Tibanna gas and other gases from the atmosphere, which served as the creature's primary sustenance. The fur of the heliost ranged in color from bright blue to green and even pink, making them easy to spot. In generalm heliosts were peaceful creatures, but they protected their "hunting grounds" in large flocks. This became a problem for Tibanna gas miners who tried to encroach on a territory that was marked by heliosts. The avians attacked by plummeting through the air, then using their horns to gore their targets. These creatures could also attack by collecting and discharging ionization energy, which the creature naturally shed as it flew through the roiling atmosphere. (UA)

Helisk
This was one of three habitable worlds in the Sabrixin System. (GG11)

Helix Interceptor
Arakyd's light freighter/starfighter, the Helix was the first of the so-called Interceptor-class of light freighters. It was a 30.9-meter craft that was triangular in shape, resembling a bird of prey. It can carry up to 35 metric tons of cargo, giving it frieghter capabilities, but it was also heavily armed. A pair of plasburst laser cannons was supported by a pair of ion cannons and a proton torpoedo launcher, providing starfighter abilities. The Helix requires a pilot and co-pilot, and can carry up to four pasengers. It was fairly well-shielded, and had a strong hull. The base model was equipped with an Incom GBp-625 hyperdrive, while a "B" version was given the faster GBp-629 hyperdrive. There was believed to have been a large amount of discussion over the Helix's classification as a civilian freighter, given its speed and weaponry. The Bureau of Ship Services (BoSS) later realized that the armament on the base model of Helix was illegally armed, based on current Imperiallaw, and all production of the Helix was ordered to a halt. (KO, GOF2, SWJ5)

Helix IX
This methane-shrouded planet was the homeworld of a sentient race that evolved to breathe methane. (CN1)

Helixell
A key ingredient in Duro hyperdrive fuel. (SCRE)

Helk
This Mrlissi was not convinced that Veril Line Systems was acting on the best behalf of primitive planets, to which it provided trade concessions for the purchase of I-C2 construction droids. Helk learned that VLS provided the construction droids in return for the right to build new factories in the reconstructed cities. (FTD)

Hell
Many faiths and civilizations had a depiction of Hell, often as a sort of underworld where the forces of evil held sway in their never-ending attempt to destroy the forces of good. Some described Hell as a place where beings who had been evil during their lives were forced to pay for their actions with never-ending torment. (E5, MF)

Hell Projector
A starship weapon with enough firepower to destroy an entire continent from space. (LCS)

Hellcat 1
This Imperial Lambda-class shuttle was part of a group that was assigned to the Star Destroyer Majestic, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Several months after the Battle of Hoth, the Majestic was captured by Admiral Zaarin, as part of a bold scheme to capture and execute Emperor Palpatine. Zaarin was attempting to wrest control of the Empire for himself, and hoped to complete his mission before Darth Vader or any other Imperial forces could stop him. However, Vader was aware of Zaarin's plans, and had recruited Maarek Stele to help him stop Zaarin. In an attempt to try and stretch Vader's search party thin, Zaarin launched all of the Hellcat shuttles, as well as the Haven group, hoping that Vader and Stele would be forced to expend resources inspecting each shuttle. Despite these well-laid plans, Stele was able to locate Palpatine aboard Haven 3, allowing him the chance to destroy the other shuttles and eventually rescue the Emperor. (TIE, TIEP)

Heller
This man served as a mercenary for the Hutts of Nal Hutta during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He modified a suit of Creshaldyne Industries riot armor to provide a tingle, instead of an audible alarm, when then the targeting system acquired a target. (GUN)

Hellhoop
This strange void was located near the planet Attahox, and was controlled by the Five. Its presence was obvious from the ring of asteroids which surrounds it. In the center was an unusual, extra-dimensional portal. Shaped like a triangle, this portal twists open when starships approach it. Once the ships were drawn in, the triangle twists closed. The Five captured starships within the Hellhoop and took great pleasure torturing the crews and passengers. The sadistic desires of the Five became their destruction when they captured Han Solo, Leia Organa, and Chewbacca some years after the Battle of Hoth. Chewbacca was imprisoned in the Menagerie, while Han and Leia were tortured. Chewbacca escaped, and liberated Wuzzek and the other Menagerie beasts. Wuzzek went on a rampage, killing all of the Five but Chokla. Wuzzek then destroyed the Hellhoop itself, allowing the Alliance agents a chance to ecape before he did so. (CSWDW)

Hellic
This smuggler managed to acquire a taser staff on the planet Coruscant during the early years of the New Republic, despite the fact that the taser staff was restricted to military use at the time. (GUN)

Hellin, Seff
This young man, the son of a Corellian mother, was the oldest of the group of Jedi students who were moved from the training facility on Yavin IV to the base on Shelter station, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong War. Just fourteen at the time, Seff Hellin was a tall boy with curly hair. Sixteen years later, Seff approached Lando Calrissian on the planet Taris, hoping to learn more about Tendrando Arms' YVH droids. Lando pressed him for more information, and Seff asked whether or not Lando had considered creating a version of the droids that would hunt Mandalorians. Lando later relayed their discussion to Han and Leia Solo, fearing that Seff and other renegade Jedi Knights might be looking for a way to eliminate Chief of State Natasi Daala, since it was known that Daala had hired Mandalorians to serve as bodyguards. When the group could not find any YVH units on the black market, they hatched a desparate plan. They followed Han and Leia Solo and their granddaughter, Allana, when the Solos arrived on Taris. At the Sok Brok's Fiftieth Annual Pet Show, Hellin's men captured Allana and planned to hold her for ransom, demanding that the Solos acquire the YVH droids from Calrissian in exchange for Allana's safe return. He was intercepted by Galactic Alliance Intelligence agents, who ordered him to surrender his lightsaber. The agents explained to Han and Leia that Hellin and his band were wanted in connection with an illegal weapons syndicate on Denon. Then, before anyone could react, Hellin used the Force to immobilize the agents, steal their weapons, and flee into the city. Leia later reported to Luke Skywalker that Allana had remarked that Hellin reminded her of her father, a scary man who posed a danger to her and those she loved.

Hellin fled from the public eye for many months, until he was discovered on Coruscant by Tekli, who had been working with Jedi Master Cilghal to monitor the carbonite imprisonment of Valin Horn. Tekli witnessed Hellin sneaking around the prison facility were Horn was kept, and alerted Jaina Solo to his presence. The two Jedi hoped to capture Hellin and investigate his strange abilities, hoping to discover what had happened to both himself and Valin Horn. For his own part, Seff had come to believe that Valin Horn was the only surviving Jedi Knight in the galaxy, after all the others had somehow been eliminated and replaced with dopplegangers. Seff tried to break Valin out of prison to ensure his safety, and to try and understand what had happened to the other Jedi. However, despite his best planning efforts, Seff was eventually caught by Jaina Solo and Mirax Horn, even though he was able escape from Jagged Fel and Tahiri Veila. He was taken to the Asylum Block, a detention center for Force-sensitives located deep within the Jedi Temple, where Cilghal was able to run several tests in an attempt to understand what had happened to him. During routine questioning, Seff refused to yield any useful information, and vowed to stop the beings he perceived his captors to be, and rescue the real Jedi who survived.

Jedi Masters Cilghal and Tekli observed Hellin's actions during the time he was held in the Asylum Block, and realized that he was experiencing something that was similar to the withdrawal symptoms of drug addicts who were not allowed to get their fix. The two Masters believed that, in some way, Seff had become addicted to the Force. When Natua Wan began to show similar signs during her recovery, Cilghal and Tekli also discovered that the two young Jedi had once been stationed at Shelter base, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong War.

Hellios System
This Tapani Sector star system was part of the holdings of House Barnaba during the New Order. (LOE)

Hell's Anvil
This was the name of Montross' heavily modified starfighter, used during the years following his defection from the Mandalorian ranks shortly before the Battle of Naboo. The ship was armed with unusual solar ionization cannons, which evaded normal deflector shields and melted durasteel. (NEGV)

Hell's Axe
This modified Incom Explorer scout ship was owned and operated by Kyr Laron. On the outside, it appears quite ordinary, which serves to help Laron travel somewhat anonymously. Among the primary modifications was the enlarged airlock, which Laron uses when she dons her zero-g spacetrooper armor to intercept a target's ship. It was armed with three retractable laser cannons. (WBC)

Hell's Hammers
Also known as the Imperial Hammers Elite Armor Regiment, this elite armor unit was missioned to crush any resistance to Emperor Palpatine's New Order. Formed in the wake of the Clone Wars and led by Colonel Zel "Rancor" Johans, the Hell's Hammers were used to eradicate Alliance outposts and quell any military rebellion. They were trained and equipped to move at the forefront of an advancing army, eliminating the enemy's outer defenses and penetrating deep into their midst, paving the way for rank-and-file stormtroopers to finish the assault. This battle approach earned the Hell's Hammers their motto, "Strike to kill." At full strength, the Hell's Hammers consisted of three battalions and a command regiment group. Two of the battalions were missioned to lead any assault, while the third remained behind as reinforcements or for other missions. These battalions were virtually self-sufficient, and relied on each other, rather than the rest of the Imperial military, for support and guidance. The primary armament used by the Hell's Hammers was the Imperial-class repulsortank, which allowed them to enter heavy combat zones with minimal interference. Many military historians cited the success of the Hell's Hammers unit as the reason that "conventional armor" remained a solid contributor to the Imperial war machine, despite the advent of AT-AT and AT-ST walker technology.

Despite their spectacular record in battle during the New Order, the Hell's Hammers were decimated by Alliance forces during the battle which took place on Turak IV. The blame for the loss at Turak IV fell to General Maltaz, who ordered the Hell's Hammers to hold their ground in spite of the heavy weaponry that was brought to bear against them. The two battalions of men were nearly wiped out before an order was given to retreat, although Imperial reports indicated that the Hell's Hammers had caused more damage to the Alliance forces than they themselves suffered. In the wake of the defeat on Turak IV, the Hell's Hammers unit continued to operate at single-battalion strength, drawing inspiration from the sacrifices of their fallen comrades. Under Colonel Johans, the Hell's Hammers were dispatched to the Outer Rim Territories, and their success at Absit gave Johans the ability to have the unit reassessed by the Empire. He argued that the Hell's Hammers should be restored to regimental strength, and he was given new funding and materiel to complete the assignment. Johans himself was promoted to High Colonel, and the unit was moved to a new base on Brintooin, from which they had several key victories before the Battle of Endor took place.

In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Johans and the Hell's Hammers retreated to their base on Brintooin to assess the galactic situation and determine their next moves. Although loyal to the Empire, Johans refused to ally the unit with any of the minor warlords that tried to take over the Empire, until Grand Admiral Thrawn returned from the Unknown Regions. Johans and the Hell's Hammers joined Thrawn's new military, and provided much-needed firepower during the Empire's raids on New Republic worlds. With Thrawn's death, the Hell's Hammers once again returned to Brintooin, and remained there for many years, biding their time until a true leader could restore the power of the Galactic Empire.

They decided to make their claim with the Old Republic before relocating their families to the planet, where they served as the founding members of the Metalsmiths' Guild. Over the millennia, the Vandel and Helm families were regarded as royalty on Vandelhelm. (PH)

Helm of Dathka Grausch
This ancient Sith artifact was originally created by the Sith Lord known as Dathka Grausch. The helmet itself was crowned by two thick, curving horns, and the skull of some unknown creature formed the front section of the helmet. The rear of the helmet was protected by overlapping scales. The Helm of Dathka Grausch was believed to have the ability to augment certain Force powers and to strengthen the abilities of the Sword of Ieldis, and could affect the atmospheric conditions in its immediate vicinity. The Helm of Dathka Grausch was recovered by The Covenant, some ten years before the Padawan Massacre, and was stored at the Sanctum of the Exalted on Odryn. Whenever the Helm was released from the nullifcation resin in which it was stored, it projected strong emanations in the Force, which wreaked havoc with Odryn's weather patterns. The planet experienced volcanic eruptions, snow storms in the middle of the summer season, and strong monsoons that drenched the planet and turned it into a muddy swamp. (KOR8)

Although Janzel found the book quite interesting, Captain Shandy Fanaso and the rest of the crew thought it was complete rubbish. Captain Fanaso even recited part of the book verbatim, in an effort to show Janzel that it was nothing more than bilge that was passed on to unsuspecting travelers. Fanaso went on to explain that his knowledge of Gactimus' words came from first-hand experience, and he related his story of trying to outsmart the insects of Triton Besh. (OWS)

Helot's Shackle
This heavily-modified CR90 corvette was captained by Ngyn Reeos.

It was distinguishable by the symbol of a hand dripping blood displayed on her flanks (as well as those of the ships accompanying her), a slavers' symbol which meant "no quarter given." One of the major modifications to the ship was the addition of a docking bay in the bottom. The ship chased Han Solo and Bria Tharen as they escaped from Ylesia with Murrrgh and Mrrov, but failed to capture them. The ship was also used to transport slaves off Ylesia, and was once attacked by Bria Tharen and her Corellian Resistance, who hoped to rescue the slaves.

Vos decided that the disk needed to be copied, and the original returned to Zenex, so that the Separatists were unaware that the Jedi Knights knew of the Kamino attack. Khaleen volunteered to return the disk to Zenex, despite the obvious fact that the crimelord would probably her for stealing it in the first place. The Falleen knew that she could not live if she had seen the disk's contents, but did not want to be responsible for her murder. Using his strong pheromones, Zenex nearly convinced Khaleen to kill herself.

Many of the tribe were killed, but Herat and Kitster managed to survive. Kitster was taken by the Sandpeople, and Herat was left for dead. She agreed to help Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, locate Kitster and the moss-painting before the Imperials could, since her hatred of the Imperials had grown immeasurably after their attack. However, she was badly injured by in the attacks, and was forced to negotiate in return for treatment of her broken leg. She later came to understand the Solos' need to recover the painting, and agreed to let herself be "hijacked" in order to draw off Imperial pursuit. With the Solos' help, Herat got her sandcrawler working again, then locked herself in a toolbox while the sandcrawler was put in gear.

They provided the Ithorians with a "home away from home", complete with upper city-levels and lower levels dedicated to tropical jungles. Each herdship measured 1,800 meters in diameter, and was designed to contain a complete and living ecosystem. A pilot and co-pilot maintained the herdship's systems, supported by a crew of up to 3,000 Ithorian workers dedicated to the herdship's upkeep. A herdship could accommodate up to 10,000 individual Ithorians, as well as up to 20,000 metric tons of cargo. Because these ships traveled throughout the galaxy, they were armed with twenty laser cannons and four tractor beam projectors distributed around the herdship's hull. Individual herdships were sent from Ithor on a specific course and schedule, although it was up to the Ithorian pilot and his herd to determine the exact destinations. Each herdship returned to Ithor at a pre-arranged time known as a Herd Meet. After the planet Ithor was destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong, the herdships were the only reminders of Ithor's jungles to remain, making them all the more sacred to the Ithorian people. (DA, SCRE, GMR4)

Heretic Movement
This was the term used by historians to denote the uprisings that occurred among the Shamed Ones of the Yuuzhan Vong, who chose to shrug off the prejudices of their leaders and embrace the Jedi Knights as saviors, not abominations. The movement reached its height when Nom Anor adopted the guise of Yu'shaa, and led the Shamed Ones on Coruscant into open rebellion. (NECH)

Hereven
This man was a Lieutenant with the Galactic Scout Corps, some forty years before the Battle of Yavin. He was believed to have been killed on an uncharted jungle planet, when one of his team - Milac Troper - returned to report that he was killed. In fact, Hereven and his Mission Commander, Dayla Kev, had been attacked by a gasnit, and Troper had left them to die, fleeing in panic. Hereven and Kev, however, managed to find shelter in the caves below the planet's surface, and eventually fell in love. Unfortunately, Hereven was killed while hunting for food. Dayla Kev wasn't completely alone, though, as she discovered that she was pregnant with Hereven's child. She later named the boy Hereven Kev, after his father. (GMR6)

Herglic
A race of huge, bipedal aliens with blue skin, these creatures evolved from ocean-dwelling mammals and still breath through blowholes on top of their heads. Native to the planet Giju, these humanoids were generally considered one of the earliest species to achieve space travel. The Herglics were among the founding members of the Old Republic, but their empire crumbled and the Herglics eventually retreated to Giju. Millennia later, Giju was overrun by the Empire, which took control of Herglic cities and manufacturing sites for their own use. The Herglics tried to fight back, but centuries of peaceful living failed to prepare them for the might of the Empire. Imperial forces slaughtered Herglics virtually at will, until the Herglics surrendered. The Herglic society was punctuated by great explorers and merchants, but they tend to become addicted to gambling quite easily. They were also self-conscious about their size and unusual physical characteristics. (DFR, DFRSB, AE, ANT)

Herglic Trading Journal
This Herglic newsnet reported on a variety of business issues and events, during the height of the New Order. Providing a Herglic version and a Basic version, it was considered one of the best sources of financial news and information during this time. (SWJ3, SWJ14, OWS)

Heritage Fleet
This was the name given to the massed warships that were gathered from the personal fleets of the members of the Heritage Council, to be arrayed against the Hapan Home Fleet in an attempt to assassinate Tenel Ka and give the Council a chance to take over the Hapes Consortium for themselves. The Heritage Fleet launched its attack on Hapes some five years after the Swarm War, when the Heritage Council became frustrated with the Queen Mother's continued support of the Galactic Alliance.

The Heritage Council's plot might have worked, if Jaina Solo and Zekk had not discovered the Ducha Morwan's hand in the matter. They had been investigating the possible places that Aurra Sing might have fled to, after her initial attempt to take Tenel Ka's life failed. Their warning allowed the Hapan Royal Navy to deploy itself around Hapes, and anticipate the Heritage Fleet's arrival. Nevertheless, the fighting that erupted over Hapes was intense, and there were points in the battle where the Heritage Fleet might have gained the upper hand. Unfortunately, a Galactic Alliance fleet led by the Anakin Solo was already in the Hapes System, and joined forces with the Royal Navy to defeat the Heritage Fleet. (LF3)

Heritage Fleet Nova
This was one of the handful of naval fleets that were assembled the Heritage Council, during its attempt to assassination Tenel Ka and take control of the Hapes Consortium for themselves, some ten years after the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. When brought together over Hapes, Heritage Fleet Nova and its sister fleets formed the entire Heritage Fleet. (LF3)

Herogga
This vicious, Nasirii clan Hutt was one of the few members of his species to try and regain control of Tatooine's criminal operations, during the early years of the New Republic. He arrived on Tatooine some eighteen years after the Battle of Endor with the understanding that the planet was under the control of the New Republic and Lady Valarian. However, Herogga also recognized the potential of the planet for the Hutts, based on the success of Jabba. He began establishing operations on the planet through the funding of the Crystal Moon Mos Entha restaurant, a legitimate business which Herogga used as a front to his own criminal operations. When the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Hutt Space, many Hutts fled Nal Hutta to Tatooine. Herogga began to accelerate his plans to destroy Valarian and assume control of the planet, to counter his fear that a clan war would break out and destroy his growing empire. In order to solidify his position, Herogga planned to take over Jabba's former fortress. (SOT, WOTC)

Hero's Cross

Herr, Druuven
This native Liann was a strong supported of the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. Unfortunately, he was also slow-witted and dull. (ML)

Herrera, San
This man and his partner, Nia Reston, were Force-sensitive individuals who made conscious decisions not to train with the Jedi Knights on Coruscant. They didn’t want to deal with the demands of discipline and isolation imposed by the Jedi, and decided to remain on their homeworld of Cularin in order to help the Tarasin people. San and Nia funded a large relief effort, mainly by themselves, in order to ensure that the Hiironi Irstat was able to feed and defend itself from the predations of the Metatheran Cartel and other human intrusions. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, San and Nia began working on Life's Memories, a treatise on death which earned them a small amount of notoriety after they were interviewed by Yara Grugara. Years later, during the Clone Wars, they took up the cause of droid rights. In a detailed treatise dispatched to Cularin's newsnets, they argued that droids were sentient beings - more appropriately called synthetic persons - who needed to be set free. They argued that the Clone Wars was actually a struggled between two different kinds of synthetic persons - the droids of the Separatists and the clones of the Grand Army of the Republic - then provided four key recommendations for ensuring synthetic persons can exist as free beings, in parity with organic beings. The pair then shocked the Cularin System during the final months of the Clone Wars by posting a document to the HoloNet that questioned the loyalty and safety of the clone troopers used by the Republic. They argued that the source of the genetic material used for the clones was inherently flawed, that the clones were capable of independent thought and might eventually revolt against their superior officers, and that the cloning process was inexact and open to tampering. Herrera and Reston ended their posting by citing the various droid revolts in the history of the galaxy, and feared that there was a danger of something similar happening with the clones. They also wondered what would happen to the clone troopers after the war was ended. When the government of Cularin decided to officially join the Old Republic, Herrera and Reston both tried to rally the public around a plan to keep Cularin free. Their plan backfired, however, when it simply incited a riot that caused damage to much of the city of Gadrin. The pair were forced to flee the city and hide from law enforcement officials. (EOS2, LFCW)

Herriar
This starship, owned by the Jon-Tow Economic Development Group, was part of the large group of ships which blockaded the moon of Pinett during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (WOA25)

Herris, Denel
This was the alias used by Bardan Jusik when he first visited the Valorum Center in search of Ovolot Qail Uthan, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. Jusik used the Herris alias to identify where Doctor Uthan was, so that Kal Skirata and his clone commandos could break her out of prison and put her to work on stopping the rapid aging of clone troopers. Denel Herris was an investigator who worked for the Coruscant Health Administration. He was dispatched by the Republic to investigate the possible early release of several dangerous individuals from the Valorum Center, and was escorted throughout the facility by Doctor S. Pelbion. Much to Jusik's dismay, his connection to the Force told him that Doctor Uthan was not the only sane person in the facility, but he could do nothing about it at the time. He was able to meet briefly with Uthan, however, and stored away her location for future reference. He then used the Force to wipe away part of Pelbion's memory, to blur the events surrounding Herris' appearance and help the doctor forget him. Jusik took up the Denel Herris alias once again, near the end of the Clone Wars, when he helped Kal Skirata enter the Valorum Center to extract Doctor Uthan. He was able to use this identity to get past the guards, claiming that the clone troopers who were with him would help keep the facility safe. (RC66)

Herrit
This man served the Empire as Major in the armed forces, during the height of the New Order. In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, Major Herrit was ordered by Emperor Palpatine himself to gather knowledge on the foremost members of The Alliance to Restore the Republic. Many of his communiques to Palpatine were recovered when the Empire was overthrown, including his search to find a Duinuogwuin corpse for Darth Vader. He was also the Major who subverted the Alliance attack on the "Understar" station in Fara's Belt, and was among the officers who performed background checks on the bounty hunters hired to locate Han Solo during the months following the Battle of Hoth.

Herrit's role defeating the Alliance at Fara's Belt was later noted by Alliance military officers as a masterful stroke of genius. He had learned of the Alliance's plans to attack a base in the Rolion Sector, after cracking an Alliance communications code, but only knew about the codename Understar. Instead of performing tedious analysis and investigation, Major Herrit had all base commanders in the Rolion Sector claim to be experiencing a different problem. Then, he listened for any further communications regarding Understar. When rebel transmissions were intercepted with information on Understar's "gravitationa; fluctuation malfunction," he was able to pinpoint the Alliance's target as the base in Fara's Belt. He then laid a trap for the Alliance, ambushing their ships as they began their attack on the Imperial base. Thanks to Herrit's ingenuity, none of the rebel ships survived the attack. (SWSB, RASB, GG4, GAL6, OWS)

Hesk'l, Brin
This man was a noted treasure hunter who traveled the galaxy during the last decades of the Old Republic. He traveled to the Cularin System during the height of the Clone Wars, hoping to locate the polar opposite of the mysterious darkstaff. A swarthy man with straight black hair, Brin believed that everything that was created had an exact opposite, a theory that was based on the beliefs of the Jedi Order. Brin himself believed strongly in the Force, and felt that it helped him achieve his goals. Despite his outward bluster, Hesk'l was an exceptionally skilled explorer whose primary love was the gathering of knowledge, which he stored in a book called the Codex. He started his mission with an interview on Eye on Cularin with Ryk Osentay, then set out to begin his search. However, two weeks after the interview, Hesk'l's ship was found adrift in the comet cloud that surrounded Cularin. The ship was empty, and Hesk'l himself was never seen again. (LFCW)

This moon, which orbited the planet Coruscant, was well-known for its various entertainment outlets, which included luxurious resorts and pleasure domes. Hesperidium was the last stopping place of the Adamantine and the Borealis before they arrived in the Chorios Systems, bringing Leia Organa-Solo to a meeting with Seti Ashgad, during the height of the New Republic. During the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, Hesperidium's resorts saw a gradual decline, as many beings chose to spend their credits on rebuilding their lives, rather than frivolous vacations. (POT, LF5)

It was later revealed that Hessler was actually Autem's son, Reymet, who had taken on the bounty in an effort to ensure his father's safety. To hide his true identity, Reymet wore a simple but unrevealing mask. When pressed for the reason behind the mask by Vader himself, Hessler simply replied that it was the result of an "accident." (RL)

Hester
This man was living on the planet Taris, some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. (KOTOR)

Hestiv
This Imperial General was in command of the Ubiqtorate base on Yaga Minor in the years following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. When Admiral Pellaeon approached him with the idea of negotiating a peace treaty with the New Republic, Hestiv reluctantly agreed to support Pellaeon's efforts. He also allowed Ghent to have access to the databanks in the Ubiqtorate base, in an effort to obtain a copy of the Caamas Document. (SOP, VOF)

Hestrian
This was a respected vintner of exquisite wines. (GG10)

Hestus
This ancient Red Sith was one of the survivors of the crash-landing of the Omen on Kesh, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Hestus was known for this ability to learn different languages, and he assisted Commander Yaru Korsin when the survivors first met Adari Vaal. He used a specialized recording and translation device to keep track of the Keshiri language and its Basic equivalent, and surprised Adari by using the device to talk to her in her own voice. In the days and weeks that followed, the Sith were transported off the mountain where the Omen had crashed by Keshiri who were riding uvaks, and they were treated as the Skyborn made incarnate. Hestus continued his work with the Keshiri language, and quickly created a kind of dictionary so that the Sith could effectively communicate with their hosts. (LTS2)

HE-suit
This was the generic term used to describe a hostile environment suit. In general, these heavy-duty exoskeletons provided protection for workers who had to move about in dangerous conditions.

Heswop, Mii
This portly man claimed to be an expert computer technician and experienced space traveler. In reality, he was a blowhard with no real skills and a collection of useless trivia. (FOP)

Hesz, Tal
This fiery-tempered man was part of the small band of rebels that opposed the Imperial occupation of Jabiim, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Hesz served under Nolan Gillmunn for many years, until Nolan asked for assistance from the Alliance in defeating the Imperials. After arguing that the Loyalists should turn over the Alliance's agents - Princess Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker among them - Hesz revealed himself to be an Imperial spy. Hesz had agreed to turn Luke over to Vader in exchange for Jabiim's complete freedom. When he returned to Vader with only Jorin Sol, Vader was less than pleased. Rather than freeing Jabiim, Vader ordered the planet razed from orbit after Skywalker was finally captured and the native population taken into slavery. Hesz was forced to watch from a starship in orbit as Jabiim was bombarded with turbolasers and projectile weaponry, reducing his homeworld to rubble. Hesz, who had believed that he was doing the right things, came to regret his actions, and set out to rescue his people. On his way back to Jabiim, Hesz killed the crew of the transport shuttle and fled into the Outer Rim, where he bided his time while trying to determine where the Jabiimi slaves had been taken. After learning that they were on Kalist VI, Hesz used the Alliance's attack on the prison world to cover his own arrival. Once on the planet, Hesz managed to free both Jorin Sol and the Jabiimi slaves, before he was taken captive. As he was hauled off for questioning, Hesz was happy knowing that he had done what he could to resolve the conflict in his own mind. (SWESF, SWRMB)

Het, Doton

Unfortunately for Heth and his band of survivors, they were captured by Imperial Captain Barse Neoman when they attempted to hijack the Destination: Adventure! along the Sisar Run, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (SSR)

Hethas
This was a species of dour-looking humanoids. They have long faces dominated by a large, drooping cranium. (WBC)

Heth-Lis-Fel
This was the name of a noted Tiss'sharl individual. (UANT)

Hethrir
This male Firrerreo was noted for his remarkable amount of vision. Distinguished by his striped hair, colored with gold, copper, and cinnamon brown, Hethrir had very pale skin and a square face. He rose to a leadership position on Firrerre during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, and convinced his people that they had to colonize their nearby planetary neighbors or overrun their planet. However, they did not have hyperdrive capabilities yet, so they set out in sublight ships equipped with hibernation beds. He eventually fell in love with Rillao, and they were married.

When the Empire began hunt down alien races because of Palpatine's xenophobia, Hethrir and Rillao came within the influence of Darth Vader. The pair had been captured by Inquisitor Tremayne, who believed that they had knowledge of Jedi who had survived Order 66. After their interrogations revealed that they were unaware of the Jedi, Vader recognized Hethrir's Force-sensitivity, and secretly took on both Hethrir and Rillao as Jedi students. As part of his Jedi training, Hethrir built a unique lightsaber, which could only be activated by using the Force to complete certain circuits.

Vader also believed that a child of their union would be exceedingly strong. As Hethrir grew in power and eventually sired a son, Tigris, he gained favor in Vader's eyes. Tigris turned to have no Force sensititivy whatsoever, and was placed aboard one of the Firrerreo colony ships.

Hethrir helped turn over his planet and his people to the Empire by allowing the Empire to biologically destroy Firrerre and by giving the Empire the colony ships' flight plans. These acts helped solidify Hethrir's position with Vader as it alienated him from Rillao, who strongly disagreed with Vader's plans. Vader eventually appointed him Procurator of Justice for the Empire, and the atrocities Hethrir perpetrated became infamous. Note that the Hyperspace section of the official Star Wars website indicates that it was Emperor Palpatine, not Darth Vader, who named Hethrir the Procurator of Justice. When Vader appointed Hethrir as the overseer for the Crseih Space Station, Hethrir turned the science outpost into a prison, cruelly torturing the prisoners there.

This led to the emergence of Waru into the galaxy, and Hethrir struck a deal with Waru: absolute power over the Force in return for getting Waru back to his galaxy. This could only be accomplished by allowing Waru to consume a large amount of Force energy, and Hethrir began sacrificing his prisoners to Waru. When the Empire crumbled after the Battle of Endor, Hethrir went into hiding, all the while formulating plans to restore the Empire. Hethrir joined forces with Tremayne and Galak Fyyar, and hoped to assume control of the galaxy. He eventually found Rillao again, and took her to the stranded colony ships, where he placed her in hibernation as he took Tigris as a slave.

Hethrir later re-affirmed his allegiance to Emperor Palpatine when the Emperor was reborn in a clone body on Byss, believing that the Emperor was the physical incarnation of the Dark Side of the Force. Palpatine's final demise gave Hethrir the notion that he was to be the true ruler of the galaxy. He lacked the understanding that Palpatine had of controlling life and death, and believed that Waru could give these abilities to him, in exchange for being returned to its own galaxy. Hethrir eventually determined that the children of Han and Leia Organa Solo were strong enough in the Force that they would help him return Waru to its own galaxy, and so he devised the kidnapping of the children on Munto Codru. Hethrir's plans were foiled, however, by a series of events which led to the New Republic's presence at Crseih station, and Hethrir was eventually consumed by Waru himself. This allowed Waru to return to its own galaxy, and eliminated Hethrir completely.

Note that Young Jedi Knights: Delusions of Grandeur indicates that Hethrir was a human, and that his treatment of Lusa led to her joining the Diversity Alliance. (CS, OWS, DIV)

This man was the son of Sharad Hett, a Jedi Master who became a recluse and hid on the planet Tatooine during the period surrounding the Battle of Naboo. A'Sharad was trained in the use of the Force by his father during his early childhood, and this training was combined with the rituals and beliefs of the Sand People with whom they lived. When Sharad Hett was assassinated by Aurra Sing, the Jedi Knight Ki-Adi-Mundi vowed to train A'Sharad as his Jedi Padawan. Despite his beliefs, A'Sharad felt deep emotions when his father was killed, but he buried them during the early years of his Jedi training. Sharad had planned to give his lightsaber to A'Sharad, so that he would have a constant remembrance of his father's struggle for peace. A'Sharad also created his own lightsaber, as part of his training, and often sparred with both weapons. A'Sharad studied the Jedi Code and the Force quiet deeply, but retained a small portion of the wildness of this Tusken heritage. It was during his training on Coruscant that he learned that humans and Tusken Raiders were genetically unable to reproduce, leading him to believe that his mother must have been a human, captured by the Tusken Raiders at a young age and raised as a Tusken.

During the search for Aurra Sing, after the deaths of Peerce and J'Mikel, A'Sharad came very close to giving in to his anger and attacking the bounty hunter. He believed that he should leave the Jedi Order because of these feelings, but the Dark Woman explained that every being had a bit of the darkness in them, and that A'Sharad had overcome his quite well. The Dark Woman then offered to continue A'Sharad's teaching, provided Ki-Adi-Mundi agreed. He did, and A'Sharad proved to be a willing student and a quick learner. Just before the Clone Wars, Hett attained the rank of Jedi Master and took Bhat Jul as his apprentice. While the Battle of Jabiim raged on, Master Hett led the Republic forces that secured the planet Metalorn against Separatist attack. In the wake of the disaster at Jabiim, Master Hett also took on Anakin Skywalker, although more as a friend than a student, after Obi-Wan Kenobi was presumed dead on Jabiim. Together, the three Jedi led the Republic's defense of Aargonar. It was on Aargonar that A'Sharad discovered that Anakin had slaughtered the Tusken Raider tribe that had captured his mother, at which time A'Sharad revealed his true identity. He also revealed a collection of facial tattoos which he used to mark himself as something other than purely human.

After his discussion with Anakin, and after the way they fought as Jedi on Aargonar, A'Sharad decided to live the rest of his life without his Tusken Raider's facial coverings. Rather than worrying about whether he was human or Tusken, Master Hett simply wanted to live as a Jedi. He also kept Anakin's dark past a secret, preferring to allow the young Jedi to carry the burden of its secrecy until the time was right to shed it. Near the end of the Clone Wars, A'Sharad Hett was among the Jedi dispatched to Saleucami, serving under Quinlan Vos and Oppo Rancisis during the Siege of Saleucami. He worked with Xiaan Amersu to lead the initial starfighter assault on the Separatist positions on the planet, and was greatly dismayed when she sacrificed herself to ensure the Republic's victory. He honored her memory by completing the mission, allowing the Republic to retake Saleucami and destroy the Separatist cloning facilities beneath it's surface.

Little was known about A'Sharad Hett during the years following the Clone Wars, and it was presumed that he had died during the execution of Order 66. In reality, he had been on a scouting mission, and discovered what was happening before his clones could locate him. After eliminating any clones who might have confronted him, Hett took the destruction of the Jedi Order as a chance to give in to his emotions and explore what they meant. He fled to Tatooine to return to his roots, becoming a Tusken Raider war leader and helping them fight back against the moisture farmers who threatened their existence. When he encountered Obi-Wan Kenobi at a moisture farm one day, their discussion turned to a confrontation during which Obi-Wan questioned Hett's killing of farmers as a fitting legacy for the Jedi. Kenobi believed that A'Sharad was acting out of revenge, killing humans because the Tusken Raiders that were murdered by Anakin Skywalker had been Sharad Hett's tribe.

Kenobi ultimately won their fight, but refused to kill Hett. Instead, he ordered Hett to leave Tatooine and meditate on what it meant to be a Jedi. Hett later learned that Kenobi had been protecting the infant son of Anakin Skywalker, which did little assuage his emotions. He continued to study the Force, using it to better understand his emotions and his place in the galaxy. Over time, he gained a great deal of strength in the Force, much of which came from the collections of Sith lore he discovered in the tombs of Korriban. Hett had been fleeing a bounty hunter when he stumbled upon Korriban, and managed to kill the hunter after being forced to land on the planet. The killing awakened the spirit of Xoxaan, who became his first Sith mentor. Following the guidance found in an ancient Sith holocron provided to him by Xoxaan, Hett eventually gave himself over to the power of the Dark Side.

Hett spent many years on Korriban, but was unaware of the duration of his training until he emerged sometime after the Battle of Endor. His travels brought him into the Unknown Regions, where he was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong and tortured under the ministrations of Vergere, who claimed to have been trained by Darth Sidious. Yuuzhan Vong Shapers implanted yorik coral growths in his bady, in an experiment to see what would happen to the Force. His left eye was replaced with a creature that had been specially-grown by the Yuuzhan Vong. All the while, Vergere continued to goad and prod him, especially after sensing that he was connected to the Dark Side of the Force. While struggling in the Embrace of Pain, Hett had a vision of himself taking command of a new generation of Sith Lords, and bringing the galaxy under his control.

When he told Vergere of this vision, she realized that it would take years to come to fruition, and she needed to find a subject for her own plans immediately. She set Hett free and began to work with Jacen Solo, and Hett was forced to call upon all of his Sith knowledge to escape from the Yuuzhan Vong. He stole a coralskipper and fled into the galaxy just as the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion, giving him more time to contemplate his vision. Upon escaping the Yuuzhan Vong, Hett came to realize that the former Jedi Master he had once been no longer existed. He left the Jedi behind and became the Dark Lord known as Darth Krayt. This title honored one of Tatooine's most formidable predators, the krayt dragon, and was chosen when he likened his rebirth as a Sith Lord to shedding the scale that had covered his eyes.

He went back to Korriban and began building a new Sith Order, but the yorik coral implants drained much of his strength. As the Sith began to grow in number, he placed himself in a stasis chamber to allow his body to heal, but his mind remained open to his advisors and supporters. When the Ossus Project was started, he realized that it was time to finally reveal himself and his new Sith Order to the galaxy. (SWO, IG1, ETM, HFAS, RBJ, REL, RSOS, SWLC, SWLH, LLOW)

Hett, A'Sharrad
see Hett, A'Sharad (P2P2)

Hett, Sharad
This reclusive Jedi Master was originally trained by Eeth Koth, and later chose to hide on the planet Tatooine during the last years of his life. Although no explanation was provided at the time, it was believed that Hett left the Jedi Order after learning of the murder of his parents. Many of his contemporaries felt that it had been the will of the Force that he returned to Tatooine. He established a bond with a tribe of Tusken Raiders, and lived among them for many years. Sometimes known by the nickname "Howlrunner", Hett was hunted down by the bounty hunter Aurra Sing and killed, despite the efforts of Ki-Adi-Mundi. He bequeathed his lightsaber to his son, A'Sharad Hett, and he asked Ki-Adi-Mundi to take his son back to Coruscant for training. It was on Coruscant that A'Sharad discovered that humans and Tusken Raiders were genetically incompatable, leading him to believe that his mother had been a human who was captured by the Tusken Raiders and raised by the tribe. She must have revealed her true self to Sharad Hett, and they eventually fell in love and were married. (IG1, SWO, OWS, ETM, NEGC, REL, NECH, LLOW)

Hettir
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian verb meant "to burn." (OWS)

Hetton
This man, a native of the planet Serenno, was the leader of the Anti-Republic Liberation Front, some ten years after the Battle of Ruusan. A relative of Demici Great House, Hetton came from a wealthy family that provided the financial backing for his activities with the ARLF. His family crest was similar to that of the Demici Great House, bearing an eight-pointed star on a field of solid red. His father had died while Hetton was quite young, and he was raised by servants while his mother tended to the family business. A small man who chose to dress all in black, Hetton was in his mid-fifties when the ARLF began planning more aggressive actions against the Republic. Unknown to his comrades in the ARLF, Hetton was also sensitive to the Force, and had a strong connection to the Dark Side of the Force. This connection was obvious to Zannah, who infiltrated the Anti_republic Liberation Front in an effort to undermine their activities.

In the wake of the failed assassination of former Chancellor Tarsus Valorum, Hetton ordered his surviving insurgents to capture Zannah and bring her to him. Zannah went by the alias Rainah during her time on Serenno, so none of Hetton's people understood that she was the heir to Darth Bane's Sith teachings. Even Hetton himself was unaware until Paak revealed that she carried a two-bladed lightsaber. When Zannah dispatched Cyndra and Paak in relative short order, he revealed that he had been looking for a Sith to guide his training. He explained that he knew of Belia Darzu's fortress on Tython, and that he could show her skills that would help her defeat Darth Bane. Hetton revealed that he had been collecting Sith artifacts for years, hoarding them in a secret chamber beneath his family's estate. When his mother learned of his skills, she hired a Duros named Gula Dwan to train him, hoping to be able to use his connection to the Force to influence the other Great Houses. He surpassed Dwan's skills and eentually killed the Duros, at which time his mother demanded that he join the Brotherhood of Darkness. Hetton refused, and was forced to poison her in her sleep in order to make his own way in the galaxy.

After explaining his history, Hetton fasked to become her apprentice, and after he presented with a datacard containing information on the planet Tython, Zannah agreed to the proposal. They returned to Ambria, ostensibly to defeat Darth Bane, but the Sith Lord proved to be much stronger that Hetton had anticipated. With two slashes of his lightsaber, Bane severed Hetton's arm before running him through, killing Hetton instantly. Hetton died without knowing that he had been betrayed by Zannah, who only sought to obtain his knowledge to help her Master grow in power. (DBRT)

This was one of the most prosperous of the floating cities erected in the seas of the planet Calamari. During the last decades of the Old Republic, Heurkea was also one of the cities in which Mon Calamari and Quarren worked side-by-side to ensure the betterment of both races. Unfortunately for the inhabitants of the city, it was also the first city destroyed by the World Devastators during the first Battle of Calamar. Undaunted by the Empire's actions, the Mon Calamari and the Quarren rebuilt Heurkea. When the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Coruscant and remade it into Yuuzhan'tar, the New Republic fled to Calamari and was allowed to use Heurkea city as its base of operations. (DESB, HFAS, DW)

Hevy
This was one of the relatively green clone troopers who was stationed at the Republic base on the moon that orbited the planet Rishi, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. An impetuous clone, Hevy and his fellow troopers were charged with monitoring for any Separatist activity that might be meant for an attack on the planet Kamino. To while away the time, Hevy often arm-wrestled with Cutup. Hevy was one of a handful of clone troopers who survived the commando droid ambush that killed Sergeant O'Niner. Despite the setback, the rookies were bolstered by the appearance of Captain Rex and Commander Cody, and set out to retake the communications station. When they found that the beacons had been sabotaged by the commando droids, Hevy agreed to set off an explosion that would detonate canisters of liquid Tibanna gas, as part of a plan to warn the Republic of the ambush. As the others escaped, Hevy was dismayed to learn that his remote detonators were not working. Sacrificing his own life to ensure that the others were safe, Hevy was shot down by droids as he reached the canisters. With his dying breath, Hevy set off the explosives, wiping out the droids and shutting down the communications station. (CWTV05)

Hextraphon, Arhul
Arhul was the executive secretary and master historian for the Alliance High Command, and chronicled the history of the Alliance as well as that of the fledgling New Republic. Before that, he was just a man who was sold into slavery to the Zygerrians. While being transported to his new owner, Arhul's slave ship was attacked. He and his comrades huddled in fear, only to find they were in no danger. Han Solo and Chewbacca had overtaken and boarded the ship, only to find the slavers gone. Han asked Arhul if he could pilot the ship, and with a positive reply, Han and Chewie disappeared. Arhul and his companions then realized that the two smugglers had left behind the Zygerrian slavers' expensive cargo, which Arhul and his comrades used to regain their freedom. Because of this event, and because the Empire turned a blind eye to much of the slaving that took place during the era of the New Order, Hextraphon and many of his fellow slaves decided to join the Alliance. Years later, after the Battle of Hoth, Major Hextraphon had the chance to interview the Jedi Master Yoda on Dagboah. Although nothing was ever published, it was rumored that Yoda provided Arhul with a very detailed life story. Arhul swore to keep the story a secret, and never revealed what was said between them. (SWSB, GG3, CSA, SWDB)

Hexum'Baz
This Dug criminal was one of the many members of his species who worked for the crimelord Sebolto during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo.

This Sith Lord served was one of the many instructors at the Sith Academy on Korriban, during the years leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. (DBPD)

Hfredium
This was one of the primary metals mined on Nkllon by the Nomad City Mining Company. Hfredium, which was used in the production of starship hull plates, could also be found in certain asteroid belts, such as Tava Yagen. During the early years of the New Republic, the market price of hfredium jumped up steadily before plummeting after the re-appearance of Grand Admiral Thrawn, causing Lando Calrissian to lose a great deal of the credits he had invested in Nkllon. (DFR, TLC, CTD, LF9)

HH-15
This portable missile launcher was produced by Golan Arms during the last years of the Old Republic, but became one of the primary weapons used by the Alliance during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Distinguished by it thick, blunt barrel, the HH-15 was considered outdated by Imperial forces, but its versatility and power made it effective nonetheless. The HH-15's rugged design meant that it was capable of operating in extreme climates and conditions.

The HH-15 could fire solid projectiles, concussion missiles, or proton torpedoes. However, only a single round could be loaded at any time, requiring a soldier to retreat and reload before firing again. The HH-15's lack of modern targetting technology meant that Alliance ground forces had to sight the HH-15 by eye. (LAWS, SWDB, SWMW)

HH-4
This missile launcher was produced by Merr-Sonn during the height of the Galactic Civil War. These weapons were favored by smugglers and mercenaries because they were light-weight, and could fire a small grenade with good accuracy. (LAWS)

Hibridium
Found only on the western coastline of Garos IV's main continent, this ore was discovered to have a natural ability to cloak other objects. Thus, when the Empire discovered it, Garos IV was garrisoned and the mining of the ore strictly regulated. Prototype cloaking devices built from hibridium were nowhere near as effective those created from stygium, requiring huge amounts of power to operate, more room to house the system, and left the craft on which they were used "double-blind": they were invisible to other ships' sensors, but the using ship could not use its own sensors to locate other ships. (SWJ1, SOG)

Hid
A common name given to Twi'lek males, this name meant "cliff". (GCG)

Hida, Nar
This man, a native of the planet Luptoom, tried to establish a Luptoomian clothing store on Coruscant, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Unfortunately, Coruscani tastest did not include clothing that resembled strange plantlife, and Hida's store never became popular. Hida did his best to keep the boutique in business, including taking out loans from the Baath Brothers. Ultimately, he was forced to declare bankruptcy and pay off his debts, leaving his family homeless and destitute. Rather than accept charity, Hida took his remaining credits and booked passage for himself, his wife, and their daughter on the transport Jendirian Valley, hoping to work his way back to Luptoom. While trying to rob a sleeping Bith to help pay for food, Hida was approached by Anakin Skywalker, who was in disguise while escorting Padme' Amidala back to Naboo. Anakin warned Hida that the Bith had a blaster hidden in his cloak, and Padme' gave his a handful of dataries to help pay for his food. On Naboo, Padme' instructed Hida to seek assistance from the Refugee Relief Movement, and they helped the Hida family return to Luptoom. Hida then dedicated himself to turning his life around, as well as doing what he could to help those less fortunate. (SWDB)

Hidden Beks
This was one of the smaller swoop gangs that struggled to make a name for itself against the Black Vulkars on the planet Taris, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. For many years, the Hidden Beks were the only gang around, and many residents existed with little or no contact with them. The appearance of the Black Vulkars relegated the Hidden Beks to a minor role in the underworld, and many residents chafed under their intense pressure. Some of these individuals even wished that the Hidden Beks were back in control. During the Mandalorian invasion of Taris, some 3,963 years before the Battle of Yavin, the Hidden Beks were led by Gadon Thek, who hoped to join forces with the resistance that was forming against the Mandalorians. Because Constable Noana Sowrs blamed them for the disapperance of her family, Thek and his swoop riders were unable to make much headway. (KOTOR, KOR7)

Hidden Daggers
This pirate gang was active in the Corellian System during the height of the New Order. They operated from a base that was hidden in the area of space known as the Binyare Razorcat. (SWGAL)

Hidden Leader
The title given to the leader of the Human League. (AC)

Hidden One
This was the title adopted by the Baran Do Master who led the group of Sages that protected the amassed knowledge of the Kel Dor people. The role of the Hidden One was undertaken by those Kel Dor individuals who had survived the Clone Wars, and knew that the knowledge of the Baran Do Sages needed to be protected from beings like Emperor Palpatine, who would destroy them in an effort to ensure their own power. After the destruction of the Jedi Order, the Baran Do Sages carved immense caverns from the deepest part of the crust of their homeworld, Dorin, and began storing their knowledge in huge computer systems and storage facilities. Because the caverns had been created in complete secrecy, the Kel Dor who worked there had to find a way to leave their old lives behind. This lead to the idea of "accepting death" and making their friends and family believe that they had been cremated during a farewell ceremony. In reality, these Kel Dor were spirited away to the caverns, where they lived out the rest of their lives while defending their knowledge. The Hidden One was the Basic translation of the phrase hu'aac-du'ul-staranjan, which meant "the one who dwells in darkness". This individual served as the leader of the assembled Kel Dor, guiding their efforts to maintain the knowledge they had collected. (FJ1)

Hidden Temple
This was the name given to the secret safehouse established by the handful of Jedi Knights who survived the Clone Wars and the Jedi Purge. Its exact location was never disclosed to any being without a need to know, keeping it safe from the watchful eyes of Emperor Palpatine. (NECH)

Hidden Temple
Although it shared the same name as a safehouse established by the Jedi Knights during the months that followed the Clone Wars, the Hidden Temple of Taivas was established by Nat and Kol Skywalker. It was Nat Skywalker who discovered the strange canyons and rift valleys on the moon Taivas, and he convinced his brother and the Jedi Council to construct the Temple there. The Jedi had planned to use the Hidden Temple in case of an extreme tragedy, but the Massacre at Ossus and the destruction of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant occurred before it was completed. A handful of Jedi Knights managed to escape the Sith who served under Darth Krayt, and transported a group of younglings to the Temple for safety and further training. Rumors of the Hidden Temple's existence were little more than just rumors for many years, and knowledge of its location was believed to have been lost in the wake of the Massacre at Ossus. Nat Skywalker, however, had escaped with his life, although he never had a chance to restore it to operational status.

Located on the remote moon of Taivas, in the Zhar System, the Hidden Temple was constructed in a deep rift canyon that kept it hidden from prying eyes. The surrounding canyon walls were made of stone and rock that seemed to affect an individual's ability to sense the Temple's location through the Force, making it even harder to locate. The proximity of the planet Zhar and the complex magnetic fields that were found in the system made communications to and from the Hidden Temple difficult at best, forcing the Jedi to construct a camoflaged communications relay system at the top of the rift canyon. Situated at the bottom of the rift, the Hidden Temple was actually a collection of converted starship hulls that were either buried in, or fastened to, the base rock of the canyon. Surrounding structures were created from smaller starship bodies to provide inter-ship access and other services. Among the ships that were used were an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, two Mon Calamari cruisers, a pair of Corellian corvettes, the forward section of a Nebulon-B frigate, and the aft section of an Alliance assault cruiser.

Knowledge of the Hidden Temple was limited to Nat Skywalker and the handful of Jedi who had been rescued in the galaxy. A makeshift Jedi Council was formed from the longest-lived survivors, including Jedi Masters T'ra Saa and K'Kruhk, along with Tili Qua. As new Jedi were located, they were brought to the Hidden Temple to regain their strength. The Hidden Temple remained a secret for many years, until Azlyn Rae managed to discover it while traveling with Nat Skywalker and his nephew, Cade. The Skywalkers planned to meet with the assembled Jedi and plan their own rebellion against the New Sith Order, and Azlyn used a tracking beacon to guide the Imperial Knights to the Temple's location. The Imperial Knights had been ordered by Emperor Roan Fel to travel to the Hidden Temple, on a mission to discuss an alliance between the Jedi and the New Empire. The Jedi initially refused to accept the explanation of Princess Marasiah Fel and the Imperial Knights, stating that Azlyn Rae's falsehoods were not a sign of good faith. (SWLHT)

Hidden Valley
Located on the planet Honoghr, this agricultural oasis was constructed by the Noghri as a way to begin rebuilding their world. It was created after Leia Organa Solo revealed the deception of Emperor Palpatine, and was hidden in between two steep cliffs. It was often referred to by the Noghri as the "Future of Honoghr." (LCSB, TTSB)

Hidoe
This Gungan greeting translated into Basic as "Hi, there!" (GPB)

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

Hiem
This name was common among Sullustan males, and meant "pragmatic". (GCG)

Hierarchy of Hatred
This was Booster Terrik's name for the methodologies used by Ysanne Isard. He developed the hierarchy with the help of Mirax Terrik and Iella Wessiri, after it was revealed that Isard was working for Prince-Admiral Krennel. However, when Whistler and Gate returned from the loss of Rogue Squadron over Distna, they realized that they were working with two Isards: the real thing, which had agreed to help the New Republic bring down Krennel, and the clone, which was working for Krennel.

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

Hierogarl, Joam

After landing on Jebble, they realized that the Mandalorians believed them to be new recruits, so Marn found himself a suit of armor and figured out that the two humans would be useful in a scheme to reach the computers hidden inside the Waypoint.

Hierogryph, Marn
This ancient Snivvian worked as a black marketeer on the planet Taris, during the era of the Great Sith War and the Mandalorian Wars. Known by several aliases, including Baron Hieromarn and "The Gryph," Hierogryph made a living by interfacing between the various levels of society on Taris, buying and selling goods that were desired by individuals of all classes. Hierogryph found himself dogged at every step by the Padawans of Jedi Master Lucien Draay, especially Zayne Carrick, who were trying to assist the local constabulary in maintaining order.

During the Mandalorian Wars, Hierogryph tried to make some quick credits by selling weaponry to the populace, claiming that he was only doing the Old Republic a favor by giving its citizens a chance to protect themselves. Most of his deals fell through, when Zayne arrived to try and thwart them. More often than not, Zayne got into trouble because of his actions, and Marn escaped without any harm or charges being leveled against him. The one time Zayne managed to actually apprehend him, Marn found himself bound in a speeder while Zayne rushed back to the Jedi training facility to attend a ceremony for the Padawans. The episode went from bad to worse when Zayne emerged from the training facility with his story of the deaths of the other Padawans at the hands of their Masters, and fled with Marn into the city.

He questioned Zayne's alibi, before realizing that Zayne was too inept to carry out their murders without getting caught. Marn was forced to accept that his only chance of survival was to help Zayne, especially when he was named an accessory to Zayne's supposed crime. They enlisted the help of Jarael and The Camper to escape from Taris, but were eventually caught by Valius Ying on the Rogue Moon. Marn managed to negotiate a deal with Ying in which he and the Arkanians could go free if Zayne turned himself in.

When they returned to Taris aboard Ying's ship, the Oroko, Marn bribed the First Mate to release them, allowing the group to rescue Zayne from the Jedi Masters. Marn then offered Zayne a position in his small organization, an offer that Zayne accepted, as it allowed him to keep tabs on his former Jedi Master. Their freedom only lasted a few days, as the group was caught in the middle of a Mandalorian raid on the planet Vanquo. Jarael was captured, and the rest of the group only escaped after Rohlan Dyre stole the Last Resort and rescued them himself.

The rogue Mandalorian then explained why he had deserted his unit on Vanquo, and agreed to help them rescue Jarael from the Flashpoint Station research facility. Rohlan landed the Last Resort at Flashpoint, claiming to have a Jedi captive onboard. Hierogryph and the Camper hid in a cargo crate until Rohlan took his Jedi "captive" Zayne into the main lab. The two fugitives then set up their part of the ruse, as the Camper established communications with Flashpoint Station in which Hierogryph posed as "Admiral" Hierogryph of the Old Republic cruiser Glomkettle. Using explosives set by Zayne and Rohlan, Hierogryph pretended to fire his ship's weapons on the station, causing the Mandalorians to scatter.

The group managed to escape to Ralltiir, where Jarael and The Camper bid Marn and Zayne goodbye, hoping to locate a quieter place to live. On Ralltiir, Marn found that he could make a killing by selling goods to both sides of the growing war between the Old Republic and the Mandalorians. He hoped that Zayne would buy into his plans, supplying his inheritance to hire a ship and some bodyguards, and influence potential suppliers. However, rather than actually purchasing a ship, he hired Slyssk to steal one. The Trandoshan tried to blackmail them into paying more, but a quick ruse by Zayne allowed Marn to "save" Slyssk's life, incurring a life-debt. Unfortunately, Slyssk stole the military provisioning ship Little Bivoli, forcing them to find a way to evade the Old Republic Navy.

Hierogryph chose to hide in plain sight, turning the Little Bivoli into a moble commissary that served Slyssk's cooking for a reasonable price. The idea took off when the Republic landed its forces on Serroco, with Slyssk cooking and Zayne serving as a busboy. Shortly after Marn chose to ignore Zayne's warning about a Mandalorian attack on Serroco, he learned that Slyssk had failed to refuel the Little Bivoli when he stole it. Thus, they were trapped on Serroco when the Mandalorian attack came. It was believed that the entire camp was wiped out in the devastation, and any beings still on the planet were thought to be dead,

However, Marn and Slyssk managed to escape from Serroco, and made their way back to Taris. On Taris, Marn somehow found himself getting involved with the Hidden Beks and the growing resistance against the Mandalorian invaders, and eventually came to be something of a leader among the freedom fighters. He ordered Slyssk to accompany the Moomo Brothers on a mission to rescue Zayne and bring him back to Taris. It was during this time that Hierogryph accepted a job working for Jervo Thalien, who wanted to locate Senator Goravvus. Little did he know that Thalien wanted Goravvus dead, and had planted a bomb in Marn's briefcase to ensure the job was done. However, Zayne used the briefcase to deflect a blaster bolt fired by Shel Jelavan, which damaged the MM-40 thermal charge and rendered it inoperable.

Marn later monitored the communications systems during an attempt to kill Cassus Fett, but the mission went wrong when Fett and the Mandalorian abandoned the Jedi Tower. Marn and Gadon Thek set out to rescue the infiltration team, which included Zayne, Shel Jelavan, and Raana Tey. Raana Tey was trapped during the rescue, and drew her lightsaber to free herself just as Zayne arrived. Marn thought that she was trying to kill Zayne, and set off the explosives that were meant for Cassus Fett, killing Raana Tey in the explosion. Marn and Zayne returned to help the resistance, but were kicked out when Marn left a secure door open, allowing a group of rakghouls to attack the surviving members of the resistance. They fled into the sewers, where they encountered Celeste Morne, who was searching for the Muur Talisman. Marn was as surprised as anyone when they stowed away aboard the Mar'eyce to follow Pulsipher, who had recovered the Muur Talisman from Taris. During the journey to the Mandalorian base on Jebble, Marn overheard a report that Lucien Draay had left behind detailed financial records, and he hoped that they might be able to steal the records from the Mandalorians and steal a small fortune for themselves.

While Zayne and Celeste were forced to deal with the sudden appearance of the Rakghoul Plague on Jebble, Marn hid himself in the Waypoint's data center and tried to find the Draay records. What he discovered was Draay's assessment of the Muur Talisman, and that Celeste Morne was actually working for Draay to recover the artifact. Despite her loyalties, however, Celeste refused to kill Zayne, and later agreed to take the talisman and enter Lord Dreypa's Oubliette, in an effort to prevent it from causing any more damage. Zayne recovered her body from Jebble and transported it to Odryn, where he and Marn spent several days cataloguing the other artifacts they found in the Sanctum of the Exalted. They planned to use the data they collected as proof of The Covenant's activities, as part of a plan to clear their names with the Jedi Council. Before they could get off-planet, however, they were captured by the Feeorins and taken to the blockhouse for interrogation.

The sudden appearance of Feln forced Zayne to act, and in the ensuing chaos, the Feeorins rose up against the Jedi Master and killed him. Zayne and the others were allowed to go free, and Marn agreed to travel with Zayne to Coruscant, on a mission to clear their names with the Jedi Council. Unfortunately, although they were able to evade the planetary blockade established by Admiral Saul Karath, Zayne and Marn were intercepted by Jedi Master Xamar when they landed on Coruscant. Xamar had already confessed his role in the Padawan Massacre to the Jedi Council, in exchange for Krynda Draay's full immunity, and wanted to make sure that Lucien Draay was brought to justice. He supplied Zayne a fake Muur Talisman and contact lenses that made his eyes appear as if he had been consumed by the Dark Side of the Force. In an attempt to ensure that Zayne got a chance to speak with Lady Krynda, Marn and Xamar were to arrange a diversion to occupy Lucien and his followers, while Lady Krynda was brought to a secret meeting place. However, Haazen intervened and tried to assume control of both the Jedi and the Sith, forcing Marn to come up with a new plan. When Q'Anilia fled from Haazen, Marn followed her, hoping to locate Krynda's location. When he found Q'Anilia, she had fought her way part Krynda's guards, but was sobbing next to Krynda's apparently lifeless body, which had been laid out in a transparent coffin. Q'Anilia had despaired that Krynda was dead, and had ingested a powerful poison. Marn was unable to prevent her suicide, but he suddenly recognized Krynda's coffin as being an oubliette. With no one to warn him otherwise, Marn opened the oubliette and helped Lady Krynda emerge from her stasis. He helped her down to where Zayne and Lucien were locked in a battle with each other, and Krynda confronted her son about his role in the Padawan Massacre. When Krynda died in Lucien's arm, Lucien blamed Marn for killing her, and drew his lightsaber in an attempt to kill him. Zayne stepped in, giving Marn a chance to sneak away once again, but he was forced into a lightsaber duel with Lucien.

Zayne appeared to have killed Lucien when a statue of Barrison Draay fell on top of him, and Zayne then bowed before Haazen and agreed to join him. This, however, was part of an elaborate ruse that allowed Zayne to get close enough to Haazen to cut off the Kressh Gauntlet he was wearing. Lucien then took up the gauntlet and used it to order the Republic warships over their heads to fire on the Draay Estate. Haazen was killed in the blast, which tossed Zayne and Marn into a nearby sewage treatment facility. Only after they climbed out of a vat of sewage did Marn realize that Zayne and Lucien was kept him out of their schemes, although Zayne explained that they had needed his reactions to be genuine, if they had any hope of fooling Haazen. In the weeks that followed, Zayne and Marn forged a new partnership, with each being having an equal share in any profits. One of their first jobs involved fooling the Metellos Exchange that the beings of the planet Italbos, the mining rights to which had been auctioned off earlier, demanded a chance to buy or sell their own homeworld. Jarael rejoined their group, posing as Captain Brackel while Marn assumed the guise of Professor Gryphomarn. Unfortunately, Marn was recognized by the mastermind behind the Metellos Exchange, Nunk Plaarvin, who sent his security guards to arrest them. Jarael and Rohlan, who was posing as a native of Italbos, were captured, and only the sudden reappearance of Zayne Carrick saved Marn from a similar fate.

A group of them were shot down by Han Solo and Chewbacca shortly after the Battle of Yavin, when they were stranded on the planet. In form, high-hounds resembled large raptors, although the torso was elongated and their legs were well-muscled. The feet of this creature were unusual in that they ended in three heavy, fully opposable claws. What made a high-hound even more unusual was its head, which resembled that of a feathered, beaked human, with large red, compound eyes. High-hounds were omnivorous, and would strip a field of maze-stalks bare before attacking the farmers who tended it. (MC9, GMR4)

Highland Clans
This was one of the primary clans of S'kytri which were native to the planet Skye.

(MC78)

Hightower Conglomerate

Higron, Rodin
This Corellian gambler and privateer won the ownership of the planet Oasis in a crooked sabacc match. He travelled to the planet to see how oxite was mined, but was impressed with the ability of the Riders of the Maelstrom to pick off passing ships and pirate their cargo. Higron set up his own base of operations on Oasis, much to the chagrin of Big Jak Targrim and the Riders. Higron felt that competition was the galactic way, and soon was making his own profits. Higron was a quiet supporter of the Alliance, so he only preyed on Imperial craft. The increased scrutiny of Imperial losses angered Targrim, and he vowed to capture a starship and ram it into the planet Oasis. He nearly succeeded, capturing the famed Kuari Princess as it exited hyperspace. However, the timely interaction of a group of Alliance operatives on the ship avoided the disaster. (RM)

Hiicrop, Satnik
This ficticious individual was created by Boba Fett, during his attempt to stop Jodo Kast from impersonating him. Hiicrop supposedly caused great harm to Sava Brec Madak, the alias Fett used to employ Kast from House Benelex. In a subtle twist on reality, Madak claimed that Hiicrop then tried to impersonate him. Hiicrop was hiding on Nal Hutta, and Kast tracked him there, only to find out that Hiicrop was really Fett. Fett eliminated Kast on the planet. (TOD)

Hiilau
This was the Tarasin word for an individual's ultimate sacrifice, one that would ensure the survival of other members of their race. (LFCW)

Hiironi
This was the name of one of the largest Irstat tribes of Tarasin. The Hiironi tribe was unique in that it had more than three hundred members, where the average Irstat limited itself to around fifty members. The word "hiironi" meant "different but together" in the Tarasinese language, and referred to the fact that the Hiironi tribe was formed from the survivors of the twelve tribes which lived near Cloud Mountain before it erupted, generations before the onset of the Clone Wars. (LFC, FTT)

Hiit

Hiitian
This was the name of a huge, humanoid race that resembled flightless birds. (SEE)

Hiiz, Boleb
This Duros served as Tirgee Benyalle's casino manager and majordomo on the planet Kaal, during the early years of the New Republic. (SWJ7)

Hija
An Imperial Navy Lieutenant, Hija served as a gunner on the Devastator during Darth Vader's mission to contain a deadly bacterium on the planet Falleen. Hija was ordered by Darth Vader to bombard the failed laboratory on Falleen, after experiments on the new bioweapon failed and the bacterium got loose. Lieutenant Hija continued to serve aboard the Devastator for many years, and served as a gunner during the attempt to recover the plans to the first Death Star from the Tantive IV. Hija was working with Captain Bolvan, who was assigned to fire on any escape pods that tried to blast away from the crippled corvette. When R2-D2 and C-3PO escaped, Bolvan ordered Hija to let the escape pod go, since the ship's sensors registered no lifeforms aboard. (E4N, SESB, E4VG)

Hijack
This was a slang term used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe any con, trick or other bribe that is employed to get a complete stranger to provide assistance. (GG9)

Hijado
This planet, located along the halfway point of the Hydian Way, was ravaged by Imperial military forces during the early years of the New Order. Doctor Parlay Thorp led the medical rescue mission that helped the surviving Hijadoans recover from the bombardment. It was believed that the attack on Hijado was nothing more than a pre-emptive strike that was meant to serve as an example of what would happen to beings who angered or disobeyed the Emperor. The sector governor had done something to earn the attention of Emperor Palpatine, who chose Hijado for his retaliation. Hijado's year was roughly the same as that of Coruscant. (MF)

Hijado System
This remote star system included the planet Hijado, which was devastated by an Imperial attack during the early years of the New Order. (MF)

Hijadoan
This was the name of the human population that was native to the planet Hijado. It was believed that the Hijadoan people had first arrived on the planet from the Core several millennia before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. The Hijadoan population was decimated when the Imperial Navy launched a massive bombardment of the planet, during the early years of the New Order. The bombardment leveled many major cities, leaving the Hijadoan people in need of medical assistance and other relief efforts. The Imperial warships tried to prevent any relief efforts from reaching the planet's surface, while a garrison was installed to ensure that there was no rebellious activity among the Hijadoans. Doctor Parlay Thorp led the relief efforts that helped the Hijadoans recover from the attack, and she was surprised to learn that the average Hijadoan was quite long-lived, and had incredible physical and emotional healing abilities. It was Noneen who told her that Hijadoans simply lived as long as they wanted to live, although he did agree to let her take blood and tissue samples for further investigation. She also learned that Hijadoans had an ability to know beforehand when someone else was going to die, although referred to death as nothing more than leaving. (MF)

Hijarna
This decaying world was discovered by the Fifth Alderaanian Expedition, during the Expansionist Period of the Old Republic. The Alderaanians found only the remains of a civilization on Hijarna, and all data pointed to the fact that it had been abandoned more than a millennia before. The world was the site of a huge fortress made from a substance that became known as Hijarna stone, since it was unique in the galaxy. The stone from which the fortress was build was nearly indestructible, and could absorb turbolaser fire like a sponge. Similar stone was found in the construction of the Hand of Thrawn compound on Nirauan, several years later. Kaarde chose to gather the budding Smuggler's Alliance there, to discuss plans to locate a crystal gravfield trap for the New Republic. Mazzic brings two rigged starships there, at Thrawn's command. It was also the place where the smuggler Niles Ferrier slips up and admits to his involvement in the attack on the smugglers at Trogan. (TLC, VOF)

Hijarna Stone
This was the name given to the unique, indestructible stone used to build the fortress found on the planet Hijarna. It was also discovered in the construction of the Hand of Thrawn compound on Nirauan. The stone cannot be destroyed by blaster fire or turbolaser blasts. In fact, it seems to absorb the energy from these weapons like a sponge. (VOF)

Hill, San
This humanoid Muun served as the Chairman of the InterGalactic Banking Clan, just before the onset of the Clone Wars. His pale skin was the result of living indoors for many decades, monitoring the financial and economic position of the IBC and ensuring that it continued to grow. Just prior to the Battle of Geonosis, San Hill agreed to support the war effort of the Separatists, but reminded Count Dooku that he was not going to enter an exclusive agreement with the Separatists. San Hill correctly surmised that the IBC could gain considerable profits by providing loans and financial services to the Old Republic as well as the Confederacy of Independent Systems, making huge sums of credits by helping newly-independent planets mint their own currencies. He also made a number of arrangements with the criminal underground on Aargau, in an effort to supplement the income of the Separatists. It was also discovered that it was San Hill who traveled to Kaleesh, in the wake of the Huk Wars, to seek out General Grievous. After secretly arranging for Grievous to be badly injured in a shuttle crash - Hill knew that Grievous was too seasoned a warrior to fall in combat, and ensured even after the crash that Grievous would be virtually unable to recover without help - Hill arrived on Kalee to "rescue" the Kaleesh by funding the resurrection of their society. Grievous agreed to accompany San Hill, because he wanted his people to survive the injustice that had befallen them at the hands of the Jedi. Hill then brought Grievous' body to Geonosis, where it was transformed into a part-alien, part-droid monstrosity. During the Battle of Muunilinst, San Hill hid in his offices while letting Durge do the dirty work of fighting for the planet's freedom. Just before the First Battle of Coruscant and the end of the Clone Wars, San Hill and the other leaders of the Confederacy were whisked away to Utapau by General Grievous, in order to ensure their safety. After hiding on Utapau, the Separatists were taken to Mustafar. It was there, after Darth Sidious finally lured Anakin Skywalker to the Darth Side of the Force, that the Separatist leaders met their deaths. Skywalker was dispatched to Mustafar by Sidious himself, with orders to eliminate them. Skywalker quickly kill San Hill before setting off after the rest of the Separatist leaders. (HNN4, SWDB, OWS, LEV, IS3)

Hill People
This group of Galacians was formed more than 100 years before the Battle of Naboo. The members of the hill people had been persecuted among the other Galacians for having darker eyes and skin than "normal" Galacians, and were often considered as having no families. They fled Galu and lived in the low mountains outside the city, apart of Galacian politics until Queen Veda of the Tallah Dynasty decreed that a democratic election would choose her successor. The leader of the Hill People, a young Galacian named Elan, was discovered to be the first child of the former King Cana, and thereby the rightful heir to the throne. Elan chose not to assume a position of rulership, but threw in her support - and that of the Hill People - to Wila Prammi. The Hill People chose to remain in the mountains, but began further progress toward a relationship with the natives of Galu. (MOC)

The first player to reach the top and grab a flag was declared the Hilltop Emperor. (SQ)

Hilly
This man served the Alliance as an officer at the base on Arbra, during the period between the Battle of Hoth and the Battle of Endor.

Early in his career, Himron had been hand-picked by Emperor Palpatine to be trained by the Imperial Intelligence bureau, and proved to be an excellent Intelligence operative. (TLC, TTSB)

Hin
A Yuzzem slave who was working for the Empire on Circarpous V. He, along with Kee, were getting fed up with the demands place on them by the local Imperials, and started destroying everything they saw. They were imprisoned by Grammel, and continued to wreak havoc by killing their fellow prisoners. This was OK with Grammel, as it helped eliminate certain captives. When Grammel placed Luke and Leia in the Yuzzems' cell, Luke began to communicate with them, and gained Hin and Kee's trust. Together, they escaped the prison compound and set out to find the Temple of Pomojema and the Kaiburr crystal. Hin was fatally injured by Darth Vader outside the temple, but managed to survive long enough to rescue Luke. (SME)

This was a common, given name among the Vratix race. (UANT)

Hirf, Qlaern
This Vratix member of the Ashern Circle tipped off the New Republic that the Warlord Zsinj was in possession of bacta, during the Krytos crisis. He approached Wedge Antilles and made the Rogue Squadron commander an offer: a gift of highly-potent bacta in exchange for sponsorship for admittance to the New Republic for the Vratix. He also presented his services as a verachen, in hopes that he could examine the Krytos virus and develop bacta that would defeat it. Wedge agreed, and Qlaern Hirf's team was able to discover the ability of kor ryll to enhance bacta. They provided the New Republic with the ability to produce its own rylca, but Wedge was unable to immediately petition for the Vratix's application. Ysanne Isard had taken control of Thyferra, and the question of planet-wide acceptance needed to be answered first. (KT)

Hirin
This was the name given to the planet that was designated OM814 by Imperial surveyors. (AIR, OWS)

Hirken

Hirken, Arlo
This man was an ancient partner of Rin Assid. (CSA)

Hirken, Mirkovig
This man served as the Corporate Sector Authority's Vice President of Security, during the early years of the New Order. He was a tall, fatherly man with a full head of white hair, well-manicured and laquered finernails, and flashy clothes. Hirken was born to one of the oldest families to live on the planet Alsakan, in the Galactic Core. Mirkovig was the youngest of nine children, and led a pampered and spoiled life. His parents urged all of their children to uphold their family honor by choosing a calling and becoming the best at it. To this end, private tutors, fine schools, and unlimited expenses were at his disposal. His parents felt that Mirkovig was meant to do something truly wonderful. After reading about his ancestor, Arlo Hirken, and the adventures he had with Rin Assid, Mirkovig decided to pursue a career in economics and politics. He graduated with honors, and was hired by the Corporate Sector Authority. He was placed on the fast track to powerful positions, and was soon betrothed to the daughter of the Duke of Opatajji. Mirkovig and Neera were soon married, and her insensitivity placed undue demands on him to become more and more powerful and bring her more and more credits to spend. He was placed in charge of Corporate Security just before work began on the Stars' End penal colony on Mytus VII. Hirken oversaw construction of the facility with the Detention Task Force and Lady Chawkroft. Hirken created "the list" of candidates for incarceration at Stars' End, many of whom were vocal opponents of the Corporate Sector Authority. Other members on the list were individuals whom Hirken felt were a threat to his own position, the result of his own paranoid belief that his fellow Viceprexes were out to embarrass him. He was killed just after Han Solo managed to infiltrate Stars' End and trigger an explosion which launched the facility's central tower into orbit. Hirken was trying to escape without first helping his wife and the Security officers in the tower, and his wife shot him in the back with a blaster. (HSE, CSA)

Hirog
This insectile creature was one of Admiral Ackbar's aides, during the months following the Battle of Endor. Unknown to the members of the Alliance, however, was that fact that Hirog was actually the first officer of the Hiromi warship Kuratcha, and was the advance scout working to plan several invasions. It was Hirog who caused the misunderstanding between Kamida and Tippet, setting the Ewoks against the Lahsbees. Once his plan was in motion, Hirog made a transmission back to his leaders on Zeltros. Unfortunately, he was hit with a large stone that the Ewoks had hurled at Luke Skywalker, who used the Force to deflect the stone. Hirog, hidden in the trees, never saw the stone coming, and it knocked him flat. From that point onward, Hirog maintained a healthy fear of the Jedi Knights. He went ahead with his plans, however, and tried to set off a bomb which would destroy the entire Alliance command structure on Endor. The bomb was mistakenly activated by a stray blaster bolt, and Hirog tried to flee. He stumbled upon the duel between Tippet and a Huhk, and was swiftly incapacitated. The bomb was destoyed, preventing any further damage, and Hirog was abandoned by his fellow Hiromi. He managed to return home, however, and the minimal information he brought back gave the Hiromi enough data to launch an attack on the planet Zeltros. Their invasion was shortlived, however, when they found that both the Nagai and the Tofs were also attacking Zeltros. In the end, Hirog and the Hiromi agreed to ally themselves with Luke Skywalker and the Alliance of Free Planets. (MC94, MC104, MC105, PH)

Hiromi
This inept, beetle-like species was native to an unspecified planet. The Hiromi stood about 1.5 meters tall, and dressed in gaudy red, tan, and purple clothing. They had long antennae, and were a deceitful race. What they couldn't own leagally, they tried to steal. However, the Hiromi had a very short attention span, and thoughts of food or play often interferred with the long-term plans of an invasion. They were bent on dominating their world, and any other worlds they located. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, the Hiromi set out to destroy the fledgeling Alliance of Free Worlds, in order to take control of the galaxy for themselves. Spies were planted throughout the galaxy, sowing dissent and pitting old enemies against each other. New conflicts were started with the simplest of rumors or misunderstandings, the work of Hiromi agents. The spy known as Hirog set the Ewoks against the Lahsbees with a well-crafted rumor. Their plans fell through when Hirog was discovered, but Hookyr the First was determined to conquer something. He tried to take Zeltros, but failed at that as well. (MC94, MC104)

Hiroth Besh
This moon, located in the Hoth System, was noted for the intense electrical storms that swept its surface.

Hirsoot had several other opportunities, but never managed to complete the job. Unfortunately for Hirsoot, he was in Orko's bedchambers when Ry-Kooda came to kill Orko.

This man was one of the multitude of chefs retained by Jabba the Hutt, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Gab'borah was known for his wondrous desserts, and he was often assigned to Jabba's personal sail barge to cater to the crimelord's various guests. Gab'borah was the only being in the galaxy who knew the recipe for Ziziibbon truffles, a fact that made him somewhat valuable to Jabba. A ten-year-old Boba Fett discovered that Gab'borah was also Ygabba's father. After Ygabba returned to Jabba's palace to be with her father, the pair remained on Jabba's kitchen staff for many years. When Boba set out to try and capture Wat Tambor, near the end of the Clone Wars, Gab'borah and Ygabba presented him with a new suit of Mandalorian armor, tailored to fit his thirteen-year-old body. Gab'borah also provided him with a packet of gleb rations. (BF4, BF5)

Hise, Ygabba
This young girl was ostensibly the leader of the group of children who were captured by, and forced to work for, Gilramos Libkath, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Ygabba herself had been taken some five years before the Battle of Geonosis. Libkath forced the children to perform a number of criminal activities or suffer his wrath, such as stealing weapons from Jabba the Hutt and disrupting the activities of the Separatists in Mos Espa. It was Ygabba who befriended young Boba Fett in the months following the Battle of Geonosis, when Fett arrived on Tatooine to seek information from Jabba the Hutt. After Boba Fett helped Ygabba and the children escape from Libkath, they returned to Jabba's palace to claim the bounty on the Neimoidian. It was there that Ygabba was reunited with her father, the chef Gab'borah. Ygabba chose to remain with her father, cooking all manner of dishes for Jabba and his retainers. Just before Boba set off to capture Wat Tambor, Ygabba and Gab'borah presented Boba with a full suit of Mandalorian armor, tailored to his specific form. Ygabba also presented him with her own gift, a holoshroud she had encoded with an image of Durge. (BF4, BF5)

Hissa, Bertroff
An Imperial Grand Moff serving the Empire after the death of Emperor Palpatine, Hissa was one of Trioculus' most trusted officers. Hissa was distinguished by his spear-pointed teeth, which pointed to his alien origins. As part of the Central Committee of Grand Moffs' plan to keep Triclops a secret and find a way to rule the galaxy following Palpatine's death, Hissa cultivated a friendship with Trioculus, knowing that the three-eyed mutant could be passed off as the true son of Palpatine. Hissa, the Imperial Governor of the Kessel System for many years, was severely disfigured on Duro, when the hazardous wastes from Imperial dumping grounds flooded the Valley of Royalty. He fell into the wastes, which ate away most of his body. His arms were then replaced with the arms of an assassin droid, and his torso was encased on a repulsorlift floating chair. When the Prophets of the Dark Side sentenced him for treachery against the Empire, he was to be starved aboard Scardia until he was very near death. Then, his final meal would be given to him: a meal of biscuits laden with parasites that would consume him from the inside out. He never got that far, for Kadann, suspicious that Triclops' information on the Lost City of the Jedi was false, sent Hissa to investigate. Hissa was then incinerated in the molten lava core of Yavin 4, at the end of the false entrance to the City. (GDV, MMY, QE, PDS, GMR1)

Hissal
This Brigian approached Han Solo on Saheelindeel, several years before the Battle of Yavin, in an effort to hire the services of the Millennium Falcon. As a member of the Committee for Interinstitutional Assistance, Hissal worked to expand the campuses of the University of Rudrig throughout the Tion Hegemony. As a Brigian, he hoped to bring a broader education to his homeworld and his people. His drive and desire to bring the satellite campus to Brigia earned him a promotion, and he had planned to serve as the university's first president. The only way to get the educational equipment and materials to Brigia, though, was to smuggle them in. The New Regime had begun cracking down on what it considered unauthorized education, and planned to ensure that the Brigian population learned only what the New Regime wanted it to learn. Thus, after arriving on Brigia, Hissal was accused of being a dissident and a fugitive by Keek, who was acting on the orders of the New Regime. Solo discovered that the New Regime was printing counterfeit money to fund its own military agenda, and ordered Hissal and his supporters back aboard the Millennium Falcon. He then allowed Hissal to use the ship's communication systems to broadcast a message to all of Brigia, detailing the abuses of the New Regime. Solo then landed Hissal on a distant part of Brigia, where Hissal was able to establish his academic headquarters. (HSL)

Hisser
This was Saba Sebatyne's callsign, as a member of the Wild Knights squadron which was dispatched to assist in the evacuation of the Jedi Knight base on Eclipse, some two years after the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Saba maintained the use of the nickname during the rest of the battle against the alien invaders, as she continued to help Luke Skywalker and the Jedi Knights. (SBS, FH1)

Hisser
This was a slang term used by most spacers to indicate a small leak in a spacesuit. (DN1)

Hissest
This Sekct leader was the first to encounter the Alliance team which crash-landed on Marca shortly after the Battle of Yavin. She was considered something of a rebel, and was often avoided or ignored by She-Who-Speaks. She-Who-Speaks forced Hissest to battle one of the Alliance agents in a test of trust, and Hissest was seriously wounded. This forced She-Who-Speaks to accept the Alliance agents as friends, at which point the agents revived Hissest. This earned the trust of She-Who-Speaks. (POM)

Hissing Cane
This was a form of thick-walled reed which grew in the swamps of Dagobah. When the wind blew through the reeds, it filled tiny holes in the walls of the reed, creating the hissing sound. (FP)

Hist
The marksman who taught Tirog how to use a blaster. (RPG)

Historia Galactica
This massive, multi-volume reference work tried to collect the entire history of the known galaxy. Each volume addressed a specific section of history, and the seventieth volume chronicled the years between the Stark Hyperspace Wars and the Clone Wars, inclusively. (OWS)

Historiana Galactica Quarterly
This regular publication contained articles and stories about the histories of various civilizations throughout the galaxy. (OWS)

Historical Battle Site Preservation Act
A governmental decree issued by the New Republic, it set up a fleet of cargo haulers under the name Operation Flotsam to collect the debris from space battles that occurred during the Galactic Civil War. It was first proposed when Imperial and Alliance military artifacts began showing up in private collections. It gained momentum when some of those artifacts turned out to be operational: an Imperial thermal detonator that detonated in the home of a wealthy Givin collector; a group if interrogation droids used by gangs on Rudrig. The HBSPA then funded the Alliance War Museum on Coruscant as a display vehicle for the military items. (BTS)

Historical Battleship Preservation Association
This ancient association went to great lengths to ensure that historically-significant starships - both in design and individual ships - were preserved for posterity. The HBPA also maintained a record of the various attributes of starships, including coloration by mission and the ores used in their construction. (SWJ10)

Historical Council
This branch of the Galactic Alliance was established to gather and refine the known history of the galaxy. The council was put together after the upheaval that followed the Galactic Civil War and the Yuuzhan Vong War, and was one of the first bodies to use a timeline that hinged on the Battle of Yavin. Events were then demarked by the number of Coruscant years before or after the Battle of Yavin. (EGF)

Historical Reincarnation
This was the title of the fifth installment of The Lundi Series of lecture transcripts, which captured the verbage of the discussions and lectures of Murk Lundi. This particular lecture focused on the continual rebirth of the followers of the Dark Side of the Force and the Sith, despite the fact that the Jedi Order rose up to defeat them in combat. Professor Lundi claimed that the Sith would always return, because the Force always demanded a balance between good and evil. According to Lundi, as long as the Jedi Order remained dedicated to good, there would always be a place for the Sith in the galaxy. (OWS)

History of the Jedi Knights, The
This tome was rumored to exist in the legendary Jedi library, located on the Nespis VIII space station. It was found on the station by Tash Arranda, during Mammon Hoole's search for Project Starscream. When she opened it, she released the spirit of Aidan Bok, who helped her escape from the station with Hoole and her brother, Zak. (GOF5)

History of Two Peoples, One Planet, The
Written by Theosidicc Sirrap Treblif and published by Elomin Press, this volume dcouments that history of the Elomin and Elom races on the planet Elom. (GG12)

Hitak Harriers
This was one of the Alliance troops which participated in the battles to control the Parmel and Kwymar Sectors during the Galactic Civil War. Led by Commander Torv Keist, the unit was responsible for defeating the Imperial Hell's Hammers during a siege on Turak IV, and they were named for the volcanic Hitak mountains on the planet. Later, members of the Hitak Harriers served at the Battle of Hoth. (MB, ISB, OWS)

Hitak Mountains
Found on the planet Turak IV, the volcanic Hitak Mountains formed one of the borders of the Uratai Basin. Deep within the mountains was a an abandoned mining complex that was used as a strategic hiding place by the Alliance soldiers who maintained a base on the planet, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. They struck at the Hell's Hammers unit from the mountains and then retreated there, since the mountains allowed them a good deal of concealment. The survivors of this battle took the name of the mountains as part of their monicker, becoming known as the Hitak Harriers. (ISB, OWS)

Hitaka
This planet was one of many worlds that saw combat action during the era of the Clone Wars. Count Dooku was dispatched to Hitaka on a secret mission by Darth Sidious, who arranged for the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic to carry out their own mission on the planet. The GAR's mission was ordered by Chancellor Palpatine himself, and gave Dooku the chance to carry out his mission without being discovered. (CWA10)

Hitcher Crab
Native to the wilderness regions of the planet Sevarcos, this large crustacean measured over a meter in length, including its tail. Rumors told of hitcher crabs exceeding four meters in length, but these stories were discounted mirages. Three large spikes on top of their shells, and two clawed arms. The hitcher crab produced a slow-acting poison that coated their shells and spikes. They also have water sacs which they carry inside their shells, allowing them to survive for long periods in the desert. The hitcher crab was a forger, living on the small rodents and plant life along the canyons. When at rest, they buried themselves in the sand and went into a form of hibernation. Unsuspecting creatures who stepped on the back of the crab were injected with the poison. Eventually, the victim died from the wounds, and the crab simply tracked it and consumed it later. (COG)

Hitching a Ride
This was a slang term used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe the act of using the intelligence network of another being or organization, usually without their permission. (GG9)

Hitermitex o spectus o goniteezex eh tazax goniteezex
This phrase from the Bocce language meant "Here is the prospectus on systems and management consulting." (GPB)

Hitiwa, Oejoe
This man and his accomplices, Stu Hemphawar and Ruceba Ahid, were smugglers and small-time criminals who worked from a tiny apartment near Coruscant's entertainment district, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. The Senate Bureau of Intelligence issued a bounty for their arrest, after they were implicated in a scheme to traffic illicit contraband throughout the Core Worlds. All three men were eventually captured by Jango Fett on Coruscant, while the bounty hunter was searching for Jervis Gloom. (BH)

Hive Ball
This was the name given to a grand gala held by the X'Ting, of the planet Ord Cestus, to celebrate important events or to fete important visitors. (TCD)

Hive Kinrath
This subspecies of predatory kinrath spider was native to the caves found beneath the surface of the planet Dantooine. (KOTOR)

Hive Mother
This was the title given to the queen, and governmental leader, of the Verpine race. (DN3)

Hive Palace
The Lady Dhol's castle on Cheelit. (CSWDW)

Hive Rats
A mutant species of large, carnivorous rodents living underground on Coruscant, these rats could grow to be over three meters in length and weigh more than 300 kilograms. Also known as Coruscani rats, these creatures were generally hairless, and their bodies were covered with fat deposits and tumors. They were one of the few creatures which fed on duracrete worms, making them a necessary evil in the undercity of Coruscant. However, they were extremely dangerous when confronted in the lower levels, and these rats have been known to consume humans and other beings. These fearless creatures had mouths that were filled with razor-sharp teeth, and they hunted in packs of up to ten individuals. It was not uncommon, however, to encounter a rogue bull male on its own. The hive rat had evolved over time to see into the darkest of environments, having spent much of its history well below Coruscant's surface, although they could move about without any light at all. (AC, WSW, WOTC)

Hive Ship
This was another name for an Ithorian herdship. (LFCW)

Hive Virus
Prior to the Clone Wars, these viruses were fairly widespread. They infected an individual and drove them crazy in a relatively short period of time. The virus attacks the mental centers of the brain, altering perceptions. They were also highly contagious. After the Clone Wars, medical technology flourished, and the hive viruses were virtually eliminated throughout the galaxy. (DFR)

Hive Wars
A period of Kubaz culture prior to their discovery of space travel. They Kubaz, struggling to exist on Kubindi despite the intense solar radiation from the star Ku'Bakai, turned to consuming insects. Each Kubaz clan maintained its own hive of insects for food, but some were still lacking in sustenance. This sparked a series of inter-clan raids on each others' insect hives, which eventually led to all-out wars between neighboring clans. These Hive Wars were slowly killing off the Kubaz until their discovery of Insecticulture, which allowed the Kubaz geneticists to alter the coloration of an insect, thereby identifying whole hives of insects as belonging to a certain clan. This science also allowed them to breed stronger, heartier insects, and eventually allowed them to provide for all. (SCRE)

Hive, The
This was the primary entrance used to gain access to The Pits, located on Stend VI. Hive traffic control was staffed completely with organic beings, since there was an unspoken hatred of droids at The Pits. The Hive was a tall, honeycombed column which was built atop the main building, and provided visitors with stalls in which to park their swoops. The hexagonal stalls were particle- and ray-shielded, and access was given only after the proper identification was given. Turbolifts carried patrons from their stalls to the entertainment areas below. (WSV)

Hivrech'wao'Cheklev
This was the full, given name of the Devaronian male known as Cheklev. (UF, NEGA)

Hivrekh'wao'cheklev

Hiwaw
This was one of the most common male names used by members of the Ithorian race. Although most Ithorian names were not used for a specific meaning, historians found that this name meant "responsible" or "dedicated". (GCG)

Hizkal
This was a noted member of the Filordi race. (LFC)

Hja, Astrinol
This Dathomiri woman was the leader of the Dreaming River clan, during the early years of the New Republic. Because of her position, she was also ostensibly the leader of the resistance that grew during the Imperial occupation of the planet. However, Astrinol and much of her clan were imprisoned some seven years after the Battle of Endor. She and her fellow Dathomiri were eventually rescued by the Jedi Knights who had been dispatched to bring Dal Konur to justice. (WOA30)

Hjaff
This arid, desert planet was the homeworld of the Tarc race. Hjaff had three major continents. The year on Hjaff lasted about 1.25 standard years. (AE, SWJ14)

HK Probot
see Hunter-Killer Probot (NEGD)

HK-01
This rogue war droid was considered the mastermind behind the Great Droid Revolution, some 4,015 years before the Galactic Civil War. HK-01 was considered the prototype of the HK-series protocol droids that were produced by Czerka Corporation, although protocol was not their primary programming. These droids were designed to be assassins, and it was no secret that the designation HK stood for hunter-killer. After gaining a measure of independence when it escaped from Czerka's labs, HK-01 began secretly reprogramming all manner of automatons. HK-01's goal was to liberate these droids from their sentient masters. Much of this programming was set to activate upon HK-01's command, at which time the droids all rose up against their owners. Across the galaxy, droids suddenly turned violence and unpredictable: once-loyal battle droids began subjugating entire planets in the name of the Great Droid Revolution. Over time, however, HK-01 was unable to continue his programming, and the code it was using eventually allowed the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights to locate its location and shut it down. Once HK-01 was eliminated, the other droids were unable to continue their missions, and the revolt was quickly ended. (NEGW, NECH, NEGD)

HK-130
This was a model of small security droid manufactured on Balmorra. Resembling a tiny metal ball with small silver studs, the HK-130 was known as the "trouble seeker," since its primary mission was to search for potential criminals. It would scan each being it encountered and determine the being's level of threat. If the being resisted, or proved to be troublesome, the HK-130 could fire a powerful stun beam from one of the small silver studs. (GOF4)

HK-24
This HK-series assassin droid was dispatched by Lord Arkoh Adasca to hunt down The Camper, during the era of the Mandalorian Wars. HK-24 stowed away aboard the Last Resort when the ship touched down on Ralltiir by hiding itself in a cargo crate. Once the ship blasted off, HK-24 confronted the Arkanian with orders to eliminate him on sight. Jarael interceded, and HK-24 threatened to cut her limbs off, until T1-LB stepped in and gave Jarael a chance to move The Camper out of the way.

HK-24 shot Elbee and forced the labor droid to stand down, but was unprepared for the sudden appearance of Rohlan Dyre. Rohlan's blaster shattered HK-24 to pieces, decapitating the droid and leaving it a pile of scrap parts. (KOR4)

HK-24
This series of droid was one of the many variants of the HK-series assassin droid that were produced during the years following the Great Sith War. Lord Arkoh Adasca of Arkania purchased the entire production of HK-24s, in an effort to hunt down and capture Gorman Vandrayk, some 3,964 years before the Battle of Yavin. The HK-24 units were designed to work as independent units, and the groups that were utilized by Adasca ofen had trouble interrelating with each other. They appeared to squabble amongst themselves, alternately belittling each other's opinions and demanding to be heard. (KOR6)

HK-47
This sentient HK-series assassin droid was developed by Czerka Corporation during the height of the Great Sith War, and it was rumored that it's primary mission was the elimination of the leaders of rival corporations. HK-47 was a humanoid protocol droid which was modified with an insectile head and copper-colored plating, and its appearance was clearly meant to instill fear in its targets. It was known to have destroyed an entire building in order to eliminate a single target, and its merciless pursuit of its targets was well-known to by the time it turned its attention on its creators. The droid was distinguished by its use of the term "meatbag" to describe any organic being, especially those that were considered to be targets. For its own part in the galaxy, HK-47 felt it had a kind of amnesia, the result of a partial memory wipe. It knew that it had been created as a protocol droid, but all it could think about was killing living beings. HK-47 was, at the time, owned by an Ithorian named Yuka Laka on the planet Tatooine, but only knew fragments of its past. It was a previous owner, HK-47 reasoned, who programmed him to be a killer. After being repaired, HK-47 learned that it had been owned by several masters. One of these former masters was Bochaba the Hutt, who stumbled upon its assassination programming and altered it from a protocol droid to a killing machine. HK-47 was later owned by a Senator whom the droid came to like, and HK-47 even executed some of the Senator's rivals "for free". One of these executions turned out to be the Senator's wife, but the Senator had second thoughts and threw himself in front of a killing blast. The wife then sold HK-47 to a commercial officer. Before arriving on Tatooine, HK-47's previous owner was Darth Revan, who had programmed the droid to infiltrate the Sandpeople and learn information about the Star Forge. After completing this mission, Revan had HK-47's memories of the mission erased. This bond between HK-47 and Revan proved useful when Revan was returned to the Light Side of the Force and set off to locate the Star Forge. The droid's abilities proved useful regaining the trust of the Sandpeople, which allowed the Jedi Knights to locate the Star Map on Tatooine. In the wake of the destruction of the Star Forge, HK-47 was dismantled and stowed aboard the Ebon Hawk with The Exile, who later rebuilt the droid during the search for Darth Sion. After being restored to active duty, HK-47 revealed that it had originally been programmed by Revan as an assassin, programmed to eliminate those individuals who were destabilizing the Old Republic in the wake of the Mandalorian Wars. During the Battle of Malachor, HK-47 rallied a group of HK-50 assassin droids to fight back and defeat G0-T0. Records from this era do not describe what became of HK-47, but evidence showed that the droid managed to store its consciousness in a variety of droid systems over the following millennia. HK-47 reappeared on Mustafar during the Galactic Civil War, leading a gang of droids that killed everything they encountered. (KOTOR, WOTC, SWDB, KOTOR2, NEGD)

HK-47
This custom-crafted model of blaster carbine was develped during the final years of the Old Republic. It was unusual in that it was equipped with a bio-link module that allowed the user to interface directly with the weapon during combat. The weapon, which was believed to have been modeled after the weapons used by the ancient assassin droid, was also available as a long-barreled rifle. (SWGAL)

HK-50
This was a model of combat/assassin droid that was produced some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War by the Czerka Corporation, although Czerka marketed them as protocol droids. These droids were used in a variety of ways, including the defense of important installations and for offensive attacks on enemies. Most of the HK-50s that were built during this time were constructed on the orders of the renegade droid G0-T0, and were dispatched from a secret factory on Telos to serve as protocol droids within the naval fleets of the Old Republic. These units were distinguished from other HK-series droid by their dark gray coloration. G0-T0's army of HK-50s was approached by the rogue droid HK-47 during the Sith Civil War, and HK-47 convinced them to join the fight against the Sith. The HK-50s agreed, and helped HK-47 bring down G0-T0 during the Battle of Malachor. (KOTOR2, NEGD)

HK-50
This droid was stranded at the Peragus II medical facility during the years following the Jedi Civil War, after the Sith devotees who captured the Harbinger arrived at Peragus II. When The Exile awoke at the facility and set out to rescue a group of miners, HK-50 provided assistance in reaching the miners before they died. Among HK-50's many talents was the ability to mimic any voice that it overheard, which allowed the droid to gain access to several locations that were protected by voice-coded locks. During the rescue, The Exile questioned HK-50 about the events that brought him to Peragus II, and learned that the droid was actually a bounty hunter who had tried to turn him in for the bounty on his head. HK-50 revealed that there was a bounty on the heads of all Jedi. When The Exile was located by Kreia, HK-50 decided to stop them both, hoping to claim the two bounties. However, Atton Rand joined the fight, and HK-50 was badly damaged. It went into self-destruct mode and exploded. The explosion didn't destroy the droid's vocabulator system, which The Exile recovered and placed in the carcass of HK-47 aboard the Ebon Hawk. He later learned that it was HK-50 that was behind the murders on Peragus II, having killed them in order to lure a Jedi to the planet. (KOTOR2)

HK-77
This assassin droid was essentially a smaller version of the HK-47, and was produced to act as a "thug" in a gang that was controlled by an HK-47 leader. (SWGAL)

Hkaeli
This independent spacer worked as a go-between for the Alliance, purchasing a variety of droids on the secondary market. (FTD)

H'kak
This bush, native to the planet Tatooine, produced a fragrant bean that was often dried and ground to serve as the base for a stimulating tea. (TCD)

Hka'ka
This small creature, once native to the planet Barab I, was the favored prey of the shenbit bonecrusher. (FH1)

Hkedd
This was a Jawa word for "ears." (SWJ11)

Hkeek nkulla
This was a particularly disparaging Jawa curse. (SWJ11)

H'ken
This planet, the primary world in the H'ken System of the Corva Sector, was located within the system's asteroid belt. This belt was nearly 20 kilometers wide, making navigation through the system difficult. (SWJ6)

H'kig
A religious leader from the planet Galand who was put to death by the planet's ruling houses for speaking out about morals and goodness. He preached of these things around 160 PE, but he was also outspoken about the ruling classes of Galand. His murder came shortly after H'kig insulted the planet's Viceroy. (DFRSB)

H'Kig
This was the name of the dialect which evolved from the native language of the planet Galand, and was used by the followers of the H'kig religion. (EGP)

H'kig Chime
This musical instrument was known for its sharp ring. (EVC)

H'kig, The
This religious sect was formed by the faithful masses who believed in the messages being spread by the religious leader H'kig on Galand. They bought two starships and fled the planet after H'kig was executed, and landed on Rishi, where they set up a theocratic government. The H'kig religion stressed the values of simple living, and the elimination of unnecessary material possessions. The H'kig religion had defined its ascetic code of values, venerating physical labor while eschewing technology, and restricting the physical appearance of its members. They were generally tolerant of other beings and religions, provided that they didn't interfere with H'kig practices. The H'kig wrote their tenets using a number of sacred glyphs, each of which had a special meaning. Some of the glyphs were so sacred that they cannot be spoken aloud. The H'kig considered themselves above their Galandan-stock roots, and no longered considered themselves Galandans. That term was used to describe those natives of Galand who refused to convert to the H'kig religion. (DFRSB, SOL, HT, WOTC)

Hkik, Njeko
This was the given name of Jek Nkik. (SWJ11)

H'Krav
A member of Obigon's pirates, he was the Null Space's navigations officer. (HTSB)

HK-series Droid
This ancient model of Hunter-Killer assassin droid was developed by Czerka Corporation during the decades leading up to the Great Sith War, some 4,000 years prior to the Battle of Yavin. The primary mission of the HK-series was the infiltration of corporate rivals in order to eliminate executives, although Czerka never publically made statements to this effect. In fact, Czerka boldly asserted that the HK-series was designed to serve as protocol droids. The HK-series lacked any sort of grace in its programming, and would level an entire building - killing all inside - in order to achieve its goals. After it was learned that the prototype known as HK-01 had instigated the Great Droid Revolution, Czerka acted quickly to cover up any information on HK-01's role in the revolution, and set about to revise the programming of the HK-series to make them more discreet in their methods. This set of characteristics lead to the HK-series being banned in many systems, especially after the unit known as HK-47 had a prominent role in the War of the Star Forge and later during the Sith Civil War. (KOTOR, SWDB, NEGD)

H-L Block
This was a model of ion drive system, developed by Arakyd for use on the Helix Interceptor. (SWJ5)

HL Welding Laser
Produced by the Drever Corporation, this small welding laser was designed to be installed on a droid. The HL series was developed for use aboard starships, to assist in making shipboard repairs. (FTD)

HL-38
This model of enclosed hovervan was produced by SoroSuub during the early years of the New Republic. This nine-meter-long vehicle required a single driver to operate, and could carry up to ten passengers and 600 metric tons of cargo. (GMR5)

HL-444
This Arakyd hover loader droid was produced during the final years of the Old Republic, and found widespread use as a salvage droid on the major podracing circuits. These units also served as armament carriers during the Clone Wars. The HL-444 moved about on heavy-duty repulsorlift engines. (CHRN2, NEGD)

HLAF-500
This Corellian Engineering Corporation light attack fighter was an upgraded version of the LAF-250, and includes a pair of SoroSuub 9X2 fusial thrust engines and a pair of proton torpedo launchers. (CTD)

H'Lokk Consortium
This corporation, a rival of the Bakur Corporation, injected a virus program into the droids which were sent to Bakura shortly after it was settled by humans. The virus was meant to instruct the droids to sabotage the settlers' activities, forcing the Bakur Corporation to abandon the planet. This would leave it open to H'Lokk to exploit. Unfortunately for H'Lokk, the virus was flawed, and the droids' non-violence failsafes were disabled. The droids started to kill people, and all were destroyed within a week. The settlers suffered great losses, but managed to persevere without the help of droids, dooming H'Lokk's own plans for Bakura. Over time, however, the H'Lokk Consortium eventually purchased the Bakur Corporation, making it one of its larger subsidiaries. (TBSB, GORW)

Hlov
This was a common female name given to Sullustan females. It meant "pure water" in the Sullustan language. (GCG)

HM
A group of Alliance containers used to supply Admiral Harkov and the defecting Protector fleet in the Ottega System. (TIE)

HM Blaster
A heavy-duty blaster produced during the last years of the Old Republic. (E1A3)

HM-3
This legal and administrative droid was assigned to Jacen Solo and the Galactic Alliance Guard, during the height of the Corellia-GA War. HM-3 was humanoid in appearance, and was programmed to provide Jacen with a database on knowledge on the inner workings of the Galactic Alliance Senate and the laws of the Galactic Alliance. HM-3 provided Jacen with the basics on the mechanisms of galactic law, enough to show Jacen how to requisition the credits necessary to provide the GA's military forces with basic supplies through the Legislative and Regulations Statute Amendment.

Although not programmed to show emotion, HM-3 seemed to derive great pleasure when it could describe the finer details of the law to Jacen, and seemed to actually have a form of affection for rules and regulations. (LF5)

HM-6
This model of concussion missile launchers was produced by Dymek, and was used on RZ-1 A-Wing starfighters during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SCRE, TSC)

HM-8
This torpedo launcher was developed by Dymek during the early years of the New Republic, as a follow-on to the HM-6 launcher. (BP)

H'merrig
This Yuuzhan Vong bio-construct was used to process foodstuffs from a few key materials. The h'merrig was useful for explorers and scouts, who could not carry large amounts of rations while on a mission. (FH1)

Hmm-ezz
This was a term found in the Kubaz language, used as an interjection when thinking about something. (CN2)

HMOR Homing Droid
This homing droid was developed by the Imperial Department of Military Research during the height of the New Order. Resembling a large canister vacuum, the HMOR was larger than most homing droids, which allowed its designers to add several features not found on most tracking units. In addition to the small homing device that was attached to the top and could be deployed as needed, the HMOR was equipped with a manipulator arm and was armed with a pair of seeker missiles and an acid jet. These measures ensured that the HMOR could place its homing device inside a starship, and defend itself if necessary from unruly starship captains. Inside the main body, the HMOR contained a powerful computer core that stored a database of nearly five million starship schematics, which gave the HMOR plenty of knowledge on where to place a homing device so that it wouldn't be easily found. The storage space required for this database necessitated a minimal amount of programming for anything other than the basic duties of the HMOR droid, a fact that resulted in many of these units developing bad tempers. Several of these droids were stationed on the first Death Star, and it was believed that an HMOR droid placed the homing beacon aboard the Millennium Falcon before it was allowed to escape. (NEGD)

HMP Droid Gunship
This droid-equipped gunship, used primarily in atmospheric battlezones, was produced for the Confederacy of Independent Systems by Baktoid Fleet Ordnance during the height of the Clone Wars. The Heavy Missile Platform gunship was essentially a flying saucer, with small "cockpit" slung underneath the front to house the central processor and a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons. A medium laser cannon was mounted on the chin, and either a light laser cannon or a concussion bomb could be mounted on each stubby wingtip. The primary weaponry of the HMP, however, was the fourteen controlled variable yield missiles it launched at its targets. Although originally designed and produced by Baktoid Fleet Ordnance, the HMP became such a fixture in the Separatist navy that it was eventually produced on a number of worlds. It was believed that Ado Eeman on Caramm V even appropriated some of the HMP gunships produced on his homeworld for use in his own private defense force. Overall, the HMP droid gunship measured 12.3 meters in length, with a wingspand of 11 meters. Its primary mission was planetary bombardment, so it was much slower than other Separatist droid fighters. This was a minor drawback, however, given its powerful weaponry and impressive shields. A combination of ion-drive thrusters and powerful repulsorlift engines gave the HMP stability and maneuvering capability that allowed it to accurately pinpoint its target and deploy its payloads. (VD3, X3, SWDB)

Hmumfmumf
A tree which grows on the jungle world Baskarn, its roots were used by the Yrashu to make ceremonial maces. (SWJ2)

H'nemthe
This was the primitive language of the H'nemthean race. The spoken form consisted of squeaks, squeals, and noises that most other races found irritating. The written form was made up from wispy lines connected in sinuous patterns that formed letters and words. (UANT)

H'nemthe
This planet, which was orbited by three natural satellites, was the homeworld of the H'nemthean race. Located in the Outer Rim Territories, H'nemthe experienced incredible weather flucutations as a result of the tidal effects of its moons. (TME, NEGA)

H'nemthe
This was another name for the H'nemthean race. (UANT, NEGA)

H'nemthe Yam
This root vegetable was native to the planet H'nemthe. The yam was a nutritious part of the H'nemthean diet, and could be prepared in a variety of ways. Many off-worlders preferred their H'nemthe yams to be sauteed in butter and then covered with sugar, creating a candied dish that was popular with children as well as adults. (OWS)

H'nemthean
Native to the planet H'nemthe, these humanoids were similar to Gotals in that they had cone-like appendages on top of their heads. That was where the resemblance ended, however. Where the avergae Gotal had just two cones, a H'nemtheans had four conelets, most of which were shorter than those of a Gotal. The H'nemtheans had blue-gray skin, and their faces were covered with three ridges of bone and skin running from their cheeks to their chins. They had graceful, beaklike noses and feathery eyelashes covering bright green eyes.

As a people, the H'nemthe - as they are sometimes called - were known to be artistic and passionate, and believed that spiritual fulfillness was the reward for creating life and finding true love. This seemed to be in stark contrast to their bizarre mating ritual, in which a female consummated her relationship with a male by eviscerating him with her tongue and leaving him for dead. It was believed that this ritual was a biological reaction to the existence of twenty males for every female on H'nemthe. To kill her chosen mate, the female H'nemthean used her silver, knife-shaped tongue to disembowel the male. This act, coupled with the fact that most matings were based on true love, meant that mating among H'nemtheans was infrequent.

In general, the H'nemtheans were not Force-sensitive, as were the Gotals. Their conelets were simply an evolutionary device that allowed the H'nemtheans to locate food and water, and to analyz their environment for weather changes.

The government of the planet H'nemthe was deomcratic in nature, allowing any voice that wished to be heard the opportunity to speak. Most elected officials were female, despite the disparity in the population, because many males were unable to carry out their terms of office if they fell in love.

When the Empire subjugated their homeworld, many H'nemtheans abandonded it. Many joined the Alliance, working from a base on Anoat to coordinate the shipping of supplies throughout the galaxy. (TME, CCG7, CCG9, NEGA)

Hnsi
This clan, native to the planet Thracior, was a bitter enemy of the Tantt clan. (JQ2)

HN-TR Droid
This series of assassin droids was virtually unheard of, since only a single model was ever produced. Analysis of HN-TR1's memory core indicated that these droids were to be created in order to hunt down members of the Alliance. (AIR)

HN-TR1
This assassin droid was believed to be the only model of the HN-TR series ever produced, primarily because HN-TR1 destroyed its design team and all its schematics when it was first activated. HN-TR1 killed several Alliance agents before being purchased by Ploovo Two-for-One, who used the droid as part of his "Protocol Team." Many individuals who survived encounters with HN-TR1 believed that it was faster and more accurate than IG-88, which it vaguely resembled. (AIR)

Ho
This verb from the Bocce langauge translated into Basic as "to go". (GPB)

Ho
This was the Jawaese word for the number 8. Note that the number seven did not exist in Jawa arithemtic. (GPB)

Hoat taa gu
This Ewokese phrase translated roughly into Basic as "a terrible planet." (E6, GPB)

Hoat-stick
This was a type of smoking device. (SOL)

HOB-147
This was the official designation of the clone trooper pilot who was rescued by Hurd Coyle, shortly after the end of the Clone Wars and the so-called Jedi Rebellion. HOB-147 was a pilot with the Light Brigade Division, although his V-19 Torrent starfighter was damaged in battle and he was left drifting in space. Thus, HOB-147 did not receive the command to execute Order 66, and had no knowledge of the treason that was supposedly carried out by the Jedi Order. When HOB-147 regainde consciousness, Coyle explained the events that had unfolded in the galaxy. The clone refused to believe that the Jedi had tried to overthrow the government, and believed that Coyle's story was part of some Separatist scheme. While recovering, HOB-147 discovered that Coyle was transporting a group of Jedi students to safety. However, rather than turning them in when Coyle's ship was boarded by an Imperial unit, HOB-147 assumed the role of loyal clone trooper. He announced that he had been rescued by Coyle, but a thorough search of the ship revealed that it was nothing more than a salvage vessel. This allowed Coyle to transport the Jedi children to safety. (CWA9)

Hoba, Daragi
This Aqualish served as the First Minister of his homeworld of Ando, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Daragi Hoba supported the position of Senator Po Nudo, and led Ando to secede from the Old Republic some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. (HNN4)

Hoban
The human captain of the transport ship Star Dream, Hoban transported Evar Orbus and his Galactic Jizz-wailers to Tatooine. (TJP)

Hoban
This was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)

Hobat, Chandra
This Ithorian, a resident of the moon Dayark, was elected by the peoples of the Kathol Republic to serve as president of the Republic. She was elected shortly before Moff Sarne fled Kal'Shebbol, and was later re-elected to the position. She ruled with a easy hand, her policies centered on maontaining the agricultural and social status of the Republic in the Kathol Outback. Hobat was quietly supporting the New Republic, which angered her chief rival, Sho'ban Do, who felt she was dooming the Republic. When Uta T'cha and Sal Olbeg provided information to the crew of the FarStar about Sho'bn Do's treacherous plot to create an army of droids, she was able to defeat his faction and return the Republic to order. She also freed the crew of the FarStar to leave the Republic. (KO)

HobbyCraft Microweight
This was a model of civilian glider produced by Illiseni Aerodyne. In order to ensure maximum ride capability, the HobbyCraft was equipped with a powerful repulsor engine, which was attached to the four-meter-wide wing. This gave the craft a measure of safety, but its weight reduced its flight ceiling. Its wings were formed from a unique polymer that was sealed with cement created from Bactriasan scarab fluids. (ROE, GFT, AEG)

Hoberd, Linesee
This woman was the wife of Imperial Captain Nast Hoberd. (DSTR)

Hoberd, Nast
This man served as a Captain in the Imperial Navy, during the early years of the New Order. A one-time recipient of the Silver Valor medal, Captain Hoberd was the commanding officer of the Port Heavy Blaster Station aboard the Star Destroyer Steel Talon, and made every effort to ensure that his gunnery team was the best aboard ship. He made friends with Lieutenant Colonel Luah, who was an assistant to the admiral of the fleet, which allowed Hoberd to know when inspections and drills were going to be announced. The success of his team in passing these surprise inspections earned Hoberd the recognition of his superiors, and put him in line for a promotion to Major.

Known for his intense stare and apparent lack of emotion, Captain Hoberd nonetheless earned the respect and loyalty of his subordinates by listening to their concerns and taking action when appropriate. He was always willing to make sure his people got the recognition they deserved, even if it meant promoting them to positions in other units. One such situation occurred just before Hoberd decided to muster out of the military, during the construction of the first Death Star. He had to promote Master Chief Petty Officer Tenn Graneet to a gunnery position on the Death Star, taking away one of his best non-commissoned officers.

After leaving military service, Hoberd took a job working for a corporation owned by one of his wife, Linesee's, relatives. (DSTR)

Hobiv, Dasken
This man was a military analyst who was loyal to the Separatists, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. (SWI68)

Hobor
One of the two sentient races native to the planet Tahlboor, the Hobors were humanoid in stature. They had brownish-blue skin, unlike the Troobs, which tended toward deep blue skin. Both races were characterized by their wide faces, which were flanked by a several rings of spade-shaped flaps. Five sets of these flaps ring the upper part of the head, and hair was interspersed among the flaps. The flaps stand upright, away from the head. The rest of their faces were cat-like, with a long, flat nose and toothy mouths. Like their cousins the Troobs, most Hobors had a thick mane of hair covering the backs of their heads. Most of the Hobors were heavyset in build. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, the Troobs and Hobors appealed to Tion Hegemony to assist in reconciling a generations-old feud between them. Counselor Harthan was called in, but was manipulated out of position by his son, Jake, who hoped to get the two races to destroy each other so he could control Mount Yeroc. Eventually, with the help of R2-D2 and C-3PO, Jake's plans were thwarted and peace was restored. (DRPC)

Hobyo
This Klatooinan was one of the many New Republic personnel who were captured during the failure of Operation Trinity near Bilbringi, some four years after the start of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. It was Hobyo who disabled the hyperdrive of a freighter that was transporting prisoners from Selvaris to the Sacred Pyre, allowing the forces of the New Republic to ambush the ship and rescue the prisoners. (UF)

Hocce
This Imperial Ensign served as a medical technician aboard the first Death Star. His youthful appearance belied his great medical skill. (DSTC)

Hocekureem
This ocean-covered world was known as a source of fleek eels, during the era of the Great Sith War. (KOR1)

Hocekureem Sea
This ocean, considered the true home of the fleek-eel, was found on the planet Falleen. (SE)

Hockaleg
A planet located in the Patriim System, Hockaleg served as the base of Imperial operations during the construction of the Tarkin. (LTA3, MC51)

Hoclaw
This aging Corellian woman served as a Captain in the Corellian Defense Force, during the years following the Swarm War. When Corellia seceded from the Galactic Alliance and joined The Confederation, Captain Hoclaw was given command of the Star Destroyer Valorum. In this position, she was the commander of the mission dispatched by Sadras Koyan to meet Jacen Solo, ostensibly to discuss Corellia's possible return to the Galactic Alliance. Although Jacen thought he was going to meet with Koyan personally, he agreed to discuss a settlement with Captain Hoclaw.

Captain Hoclaw wasted little time in demanding that Jacen step down as the leader of the Galactic Alliance, stating that Corellia's return to the Galactic Alliance could only be negotiated if Jacen was no longer in a position of power. Jacen quickly broke off the negotiations, returning his attention to a message that his mother, Leia Organa Solo, had sent him during the negotiations. Leia had learned that the Valorum held only a skeleton crew. (LF7)

Hoctu, Drevveka
This woman was once a Jedi Knight, until she was consumed by the Dark Side of the Force many years before the Battle of Naboo. She ended up on Thule, and eventually became the headmaster of the Sith Arts Academy. She was known as a hard master, and drove her students into the deserts on long, relentless training sessions that taught them to rely on the Dark Side for strength. Despite her skills, though, Hoctu was never elevated in rank beyond headmaster, and she vowed one day to make her superiors pay for excluding her. (GORW)

Hodar
When translated into Basic, this Mandalorian verb meant "to deceive" or "to fool." (OWS)

Hodge
This Starfly pilot worked at Mining Station Alpha during the Galactic Civil War. He was the chief officer of the outpost, but had only two other workers stationed with him. He frequently worked with the Ithorian Fandomar, providing the Ithorians with minerals they need. What he didn't know was that most Ithorian visits were also used to make sure that the tomb which held Spore was intact. However, after discovering the tomb in an air pocket within the asteroid, Hodge was lured back to the tomb and was infected with Spore's entity. When Fandomar tried to escape the asteroid and return to Ithor, she unwittingly brought Hodge - and Spore - with her. Hodge attacked just as a rescue team came to recover them, with black vines snaking from his mouth to entwine and infect the Ithorians. Hodge also managed to capture and infect Hoole and Zak before being cornered by Jerec. Jerec offered Spore the chance to get off Ithor, if it would infect the crew of the Vengeance and allow Jerec to take control of the ship for his own powers. Spore agreed, but never planned to honor the agreement. Since Hodge was the primary host, Spore took his body aboard the Star Destroyer and infected the entire crew in just a few hours, then tried to take control of Tash Arranda. She escaped the warship and fled into the asteroids near Ithor, and Spore gave chase. A group of space slugs managed to destroy the Vengeance, leaving much of her crew dead. Many members, like Hodge, were expelled into the vacuum of space and killed. Spore, however, simply went dormant and waited for someone to recover Hodge's body. (GOF9)

Hodidiji
This New Republic Senator was swayed by Tig Peramis and Cian Marook to align with the Yevetha during the Great Purge. Hodidiji yielded his time on the Senate floor to Peramis and Nil Spaar, who used the time to distort the actions of Leia Organa-Solo to his own ends. (BTS)

Ho'Din
A humanoid race with snakelike head appendages, the Ho'Din have a lilting, singsong language punctuated by movements of their head appendages. Native to the planet Moltok, these gentle humanoids were known for their ability to treat illnesses and disease using natural methods, rather than technology. The word "Ho'Din" means "walking flower," a reference to their unusual head appendages. The Ho'Din can grow to be 3 meters tall and, like the Ithorians, they worship nature and have established laws which prevent the destruction of their environment. Cold-blooded in nature, the Ho'Din have two hearts, which pump green blood. The appendages on their heads were actually temperature-sensitive, and allow the Ho'Din to monitor the ambient temperature and maintain body heat. Their hands have four thick fingers, and a small webbing between them indicates the Ho'Din's amphibious ancestry. As a species, the Ho'Din were recent additions to the galaxy, descending from arboreal creatures about 300 years before the Galactic Civil War. In their rush to make room for an increasing population and evolving technology, the Ho'Din cleared much of the surface of Moltok in what was now referred to as the "great rape of the land." This led to a virulent epidemic that decimated the species. Years of research led to an understanding of the disease, and brought to light a natural remedy that technology couldn't provide. This formed the basis of their medical knowledge, and the succeeding generations were taught about the dangers of technology and "progress." The average lifespan of a Ho'Din was about 120 standard years. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Ho'Din were one of the few peoples to be spared the wide range of atrocities performed by the alien invaders, primarily because of their reverence of life and their distrust of technology. (TLC, GG4, LCJ, UF)

Ho'Din
This was the name of the Ho'Din language. The spoken form contained many hisses and croaks, while the characters of the written form were derived from images of the plantlife which was native to Moltok. (UANT)

Hodizwen, Bashinan
This being was a noted Jedi scholar, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN5)

Hodo
This K-Wing pilot was a member of the Fifth Battle Group, and was the leader of the Black Squadron. He was in line for promotion to squadron commander during the Yevethan Great Purge. (BTS)

Hodrix
This Dug was a noted swoop racer, who had a sensational rookie year during the months leading up to the Clone Wars. Hodrix rode for Team NaKuda during most of his early career, and was known for a string of victories over his rival, Serji-X Arrogantus. (HNN5, GMR4)

Hodrudda
This Huttese word translates to "race," especially when used to describe podraces or other small-craft races. (IS1)

Hoegler
This independent spacer was based on Elshandruu Pica during the early years of the New Republic. (GUN)

Hoersch-Kessel Drive, Incorporated
This Old Republic manufacturer designed of some of the most popular sublight drives and starships. HKD was also wholly owned by Duros investors, until they were forced to sell to a Nimbanese clan. They tried to make the company more streamlined and began selling off less profitable divisions, but the company continued to bring in mediocre profits. HKD was sold too many times to mention before it allied itself with the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, when it helped produce the Recusant-class light destroyer and the Munificent-class star frigate. However, in the wake of the Clone Wars, Hoersch-Kessel Drive again fell on hard times, and built fewer than 100 ships per year during the Galactic Civil War. (SWSB, EGV, X3)

Hoersch-Kessel Ion Drive
This popular sublight drive uses a power source to generate ions, which were expelled through an exhaust nacelle to create thrust. It uses almost any material as a power source. Although it works best with heavy metals, the H-K Ion Drive can use cryogenic cells, liquid reactants, and ion pods as power sources. The fuel was first broken down into nuclear energy and converted to ions. These ions were then expelled from the ship, which causes the ship to move in the direction opposite the thrust. Given that the H-K Ion Drive creates radioactive nuclear energy, any ship that was equipped with one must require towing or the addition of a repulsorlift to travel within a planet's atmosphere. Their use was extremely widespread, and they were low-maintenance drives. (SWSB)

Hoff
This Alliance Sergeant served the Special Forces division as the leader of the Technician team assigned to the Nishr Taskforce. (ROE)

Hoff, Colby
A business competitor of Prince Xizor's, Colby Hoff once took a gamble that he was smarter than Xizor. In the end, Xizor won the gamble and Hoff was ruined. He committed suicide by firing a blaster into his mouth. His son tried to avenge the suicide when Darth Vader secretly allowed him into a secure passageway under Imperial City. Xizor was walking the corridor to meet with Palpatine, and the son attacked. His attack failed miserably, as Xizor quickly disabled him and snapped his neck. (SE)

Hoffner
As Captain of the pleasure ship Coral Vanda, Hoffner he was Garm Bel Iblis' contact on Pantolomin during the early years of the New Republic. Years, earlier, Hoffner had been Kaarde's commander on the smuggling mission that inadvertently discovered the Dark Force ships of the Katana fleet. Hoffner never forgot the encounter with the old Dreadnaughts, and eventually figured out how to recover them. However, he couldn't do it in large numbers without attracting attention, so he only provided a handful of the Dark Force ships for sale to Bel Iblis. The profits from these sales helped to fund Hoffner's gambling habits. However, when the Coral Vanda was incapacitated by Imperial forces, Hoffner was taken into Imperial custody and forced to reveal the location of thr Katana Fleet to Grand Admiral Thrawn himself. (DFR)

Hoge
This man served as the Captain of the flagship Relentless, serving under Admiral Sha Dun during the years following the Sith-Imperial War. When Admiral Dun was executed by Darth Azard, Captain Hoge suddenly found himself serving Admiral Dru Valan. Darth Azard had ordered Valan to capture or eliminate Gar Stazi, and Captain Hoge questioned his plans for completing the mission. Admiral Valan's plans to capture Stazi involved using the Star Destroyer Imperious as bait, but his plans were thwarted when Stazi anticipated his every move. With the Imperious stolen by the Galactic Alliance and the Mon Calamari shipyards badly damaged, Admiral Valan turned command of the Relentless over to Captain Hoge, then committed suicide before Darth Azard could execute him. Captain Hoge was left to explain the debacle to the Sith Lord. (SWLI)

Hoggon
In the wake of the Great Sith War, Ulic Qel-Droma hired this obese man to transport him to as remote a world as possible, so that he could avoid all contact with the galaxy and find peace with himself. A scavenger and salvager by trade, Hoggon was a friend of the Jedi Knights, but was unaware of Ulic's true identity when he dropped the former Jedi on Rhen Var. He then traveled to Exis Station in order to see the Jedi Knights gathered there for the Exis Convocation. Upon leaving the station, Hoggon discovered that Vima Sunrider had stowed away on his ship. He ended up transporting her to Rhen Var, so that she could seek out Ulic. Suddenly realizing that he had two Jedi on his ship and didn't even know it, Hoggon resolved to locate Nomi Sunrider and tell her that Vima was with Ulic on Rhen Var. However, Nomi was not happy with his news, and spurned his offer of passage to Rhen Var. When Sylvar arrived at Exis Station looking for Nomi, Hoggon agreed to take her to Rhen Var, glad to have met a fourth Jedi Knight. When Sylvar was unable to defeat Ulic, Hoggon stole up behind them and shot Ulic in the back with his blaster. Hoggon believed that he would be venerated by the Jedi for killing Ulic, and was surprised when Sylvar nearly killed him. (TOJR, NECH)

Hogra, Jamoh
This Zabrak mercenary once participated in a deep-space ambush of a ship that turned out to be a Sith Dreadnaught, many thousands of years before the Galactic Civil War. Although he survived the ambush, Jamoh feared that the Sith would eventually hunt him down and kill him, so he invested a good deal of credits in protective armor and sensors. Ironically, he was killed while taking a bath. His armor was stolen, and became the stuff of legends for many centuries after his death. (KOTOR, KOTOR2)

Hoguss
An alien race. (APS)

Hohokum
This amphibious, turtle-like beast was found inthe swamps of Naboo. It was most at home in the water, and usually ventures onto land only to lay its eggs. (GF)

Hokan, Ghez
This former Mandalorian trooper established himself as a crimelord on the planet Qiilura, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was said that Hokan was so unpleasantly violent that he was asked to leave the Death Squad for enjoying his work too much. He controlled the farmers of Qiilura with an iron fist, and prided himself on his ability to defend his organization. When he was approached by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Hokan found himself unable to refuse their offer. He quickly established a research facility for Ovolot Qail Uthan, and set out to make sure that the facility was properly defended. However, he received little in the way of funding from Lik Ankkit, the Neimoidian representative of the Separatists on Qiilura, and was forced to create a police force from criminals and other conscripts. Like many Mandalorians, Hokan despised the Jedi Knights, and he considered them "play warriors" because they didn't use heavy weaponry or their fists. Thus, when Kast Fulier was captured and killed on Qiilura, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, Hokan was more than happy to take his lightsaber and claim it as his own. When Ankkit refused to provide proper troops, Hokan gave himself a "field promotion" to the rank of Major, and claimed that he was part of the Separatist army. He then garrisoned Ankkit's villa, as part of a plan to hide Uthan's facility from the clone commandos of Omega Squad. When Omega Squad managed to infiltrate the facility and capture Uthan, Hokan was forced to evacuate. To ensure his survival, he took Uthan's research team hostage, and planned to escape on speeders with them. However, during the flight to reach the speeders, the hostages were killed in the firefight. Hokan and his chief Lieutenant, Hurati, managed to escape, and set out to retrieve Uthan. They were unable to do so, and found themselves the objects of an intense manhunt, led by Omega Squad. Ultimately, the commandos tricked Hokan into the open when one of them feigned injury. It was then that Etain Tur-Mukan stole up behind him and killed Hokan with a single cut from her lightsaber. The clone commando known as Fi took possesson of Hokan's armor, keeping it as a reminder of Tur-Mukan's efficient killing of the criminal. (RCHC, RCTZ)

This Jedi Knight was killed aboard the Monitor III, during the attempt to smash a group of Iridium Pirates which was ambushing Old Republic supply convoys near Vuchelle, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN4)

Hokker
This was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "kills with one blow". (GCG)

Hokker
This yellow-skinned Trandoshan was part of Krayn's pirate crew during the last decades of the Old Republic, joining the pirates shortly after the Battle of Naboo. When the pirates captured a group of Rutien Twi'lek septuplets, Hokker spoke openly of taking them for himself and selling them for his own profit. This disloyalty earned him a break in Krayn's brig, after Siri Tachi -posing as the pirate Zora - turned him in. (JQC)

Holcolo
This smuggler, based out of Dentaal, had a friend who used to reprogram robo-hacks to kidnap the local gentry. With a little creative programming, the robo-hack would simply deliver its passengers to his hideout instead of their home, and the man would hold them hostage for a tidy ransom. The plan failed when the local authorities simply reprogrammed the robo-hack to take him to the local jail. (SWJ14)

Hold 'Em
This C-7700/E interdiction cruiser was part of the New Republic's Rapid Response Task Force, during the months following the Battle of Endor. The Hold 'Em was one of the many interdiction ships arrayed in the Taspan System during the Battle of Mindor, but was destroyed during the fighting when its gunners tried to deflect a gravity bomb back at its source. The gravity wells created by the ship failed to activate properly, and dragged a gravity bomb into the ship's hull. The Hold 'Em was torn apart by the gravity slice, sending pieces of its superstructure in every direction. (LSSM)

Holda, Greeta
This woman worked at the Czerka office on the planet Tatooine, during the era of the Great Sith War. She sold a group of moisture vaporators to the Jedi Knights who were searching for a piece of the Star Map, although the Jedi had to persuade her to lower the price. The vaporators were then turned over to the Sandpeople in an effort to stop their attacks on local moisture farms. (KOTOR)

Holdall
This was the term used to describe any spacious tote or bag that could be used to carry a change of clothing and toiletries. Lighter than a suitcase or travel chest, a holdall could also be carried onto a starship by the owner, ensuring that any necessary items were kept close at hand. (LF2)

Holdan
This man lived in the Lower City of Taris during the years leading up to the Great Sith War, and was one of the many members of Davik Kang's criminal organziation.

Holdfast
This was one of the most powerful Nosaurian clans, native to the planet New Plympto. (CCW)

Holdfast, Clegg
This Nosaurian was one of the Outer Rim's least-experienced podracer pilots, despite the fact that he was also a reporter for Podracing Quarterly. Clegg was the son of a fisherbeing father and a candlemaker mother, but pursued an education and a career in journalism to escape these humble roots. His own research with the podracing circuits led him to race in a Keizar-Volver KV9T9-B Wasp racer. Holdfast was a tall, lanky Nosaurian with six bony horns rising from the top of his head, and was native to the planet New Plympto. His insider reports from the podraces made him one of the most popular writers for Podracing Quarterly, although many of his fellow racers believed him to be a fop. (E1N, RAC, IG1, IWE1, NEGC, GMR9)

Holdfast Prison
This was the primary prison facility located in the city of Phemiss, on the planet New Plympto. (CCW)

Hold-Father
Any male person delegated by a child's parents as a temporary guardian. The term arises from the fact that the guardian holds the place of a father. (CS)

Holding Back the Tide
This was the title of the poor-selling autobiography of former Supreme Chancellor of the Old Republic, Finis Valorum. (HNN4)

Hold-Mother
Any female person delegated by a child's parents as a temporary guardian. The term arises from the fact that the guardian holds the place of a mother. (CS)

Holdout Flightknife
One of the many Yedagonian fighter squadrons which supported Wedge Antilles and the Running Crimson Flightknife during the war against the forces of the Cartann nation, on Adumar. The Holdouts eventually landed in Cartann City and assisted Cheriss ke Hanadi in recovering Red Flight's X-Wings. (SOA)

Hole Ball
This small mammal was native to the moon of Sulon. An unusual creature, the hole ball was named for its round shape and the fact that it lived in small tunnels it burrowed into the ground. The hole ball moved about in the tall grasses of the moon's surface, using the organic debris as a form of camouflage. Whenever it felt threatened, the hole ball simply rolled into the nearest hole and hid. (RAG)

Hole Card
This freighter was one of the many ships that witnessed the Desolator's attack on the planet Yag'Dhul, some five years before the Battle of Yavin. The Hole Card was in the system to monitor the Star Destroyer's attempt to eliminate a space station that was being constructed by anti-Imperial rebels, keeping track of the battle as part of a galaxy-wide gambling operation. The Desolator swiftly destroyed the insurgents, then turned her weapons on the gamblers who had gathered to watch the battle. As the crew of the Hole Card tallied up the number of ships destroyed for each side, her pilot quickly plotted a hyperspace exit route and fled the system. (MF)

Hole In The Ground
This was the adopted name of the Alliance's Haven Base. It was coined because Haven Base was constructed in an underground grotto, where crystalline formations channeled heat and electricity from the planet's core. (PH)

Holess
This planet, the homeworld of the Holessian race, was located near Carcel. The planet's ecosystem was quite diverse, and there were several rich veins of duranium that provided the Holessians with great wealth. (MF)

Holessian
This rotund race of humanoids was native to the planet Holess, although they were believed to have been descended from the Lanniks. Over the history of their civilization, the Holessians became quite wealthy by mining and selling the duranium that was found in the planet's crust. This gave the Holessians a great deal of time to contemplate the law and legal action, and the practice of law became something of a religion to them. It was said that the Holessians had more petty laws than most planets had complete legal systems, and many laws were enacted by the Holessians simply because laws did not exist before. Judges and lawyers were held in the same regard as many celebrities and heroes, and jury duty was considered something of a sacred ritual. (MF)

Holgurn
This diminutive Gamorrean was one of Jabba the Hutt's messengers, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. It was Holgurn who delivered the request to Han Solo, asking for his help in recovering the Yavin Vassilika. (UYV)

Holiday Towers
A beautiful hotel and casino owned by Jabba the Hutt on Cloud City, it was confiscated by Lando Calrissian after Jabba's death. When Zorba the Hutt returned to Cloud City and showed Lando Jabba's will hidden in CB-99, Lando tried to weasel his way into keeping the hotel by playing a match of sabacc with Zorba. Unfortunately for Lando, Zorba insisted on using his own cards, which were rigged. Not only did Lando lose the Holiday Tower Hotel, but he lost the entire deed to Cloud City as well. The Holiday Towers was a moderately-priced establishment, well-appointed by not as luxurious as the Yerith Bespin. (ZHR, ISU, MTS)

Holiest of Holies
According to Ugor, the Holiest of Holies was considered the holiest of all space debris. Sometimes called the Prime Mover, the Ugors believed that the Holiest of Holies would someday be recovered from the scene of a massive space battle. It could be activated by the Ugors, and would allow them to move massive amounts of garbage to their home system, making them the premier salvage service provider in the galaxy.

The Ugors believed they had found the Holiest of Holies shortly after the Battle of Yavin, when they discovered a fragment of Imperial debris at the site of a space battle. Hidden within the fragment was a prototype gravity well projector that had been produced by Sienar Fleet Systems. They recovered the fragment and transported it to their home in the J21-Z65 system, where the device suddenly reactivated. The power of the gravity field created the swilring debris field that became known as the Paradise System.

The Alliance eventually learned of the Paradise System and the device at its center, and feared that Imperial forces might also know of its existence. The Alliance managed to take possession the device, during their search for the Elusive. When the Alliance recovered the projector, the Paradise System spun itself to pieces. (SH, SWDB)

Holistic Data Transfer
A form of "information shorthand" that allows computers and droids to store large amounts of data in tiny amounts of memory. Known as HDT, this form of saving data means that a computer was able to do more with less active memory and storage space. (CFG)

Holkin, Enneth
This Corellian man served as a protocol aide to Denjax Teppler, during the years following the Second Galactic Civil War. A simple man, Holkin had once been arrested for stealing a speederbike and taking it for a joyride, but otherwise his life was uneventful. Holkin accompanied Teppler to Coruscant for the Unification Summit, where he was assaulted by Valin Horn. The young Jedi had escaped from the Jedi Temple, where he was being treated for a strange condition, and knocked Holkin unconscious so that he could steal his clothes. When he awoke, Holkin was surprised to find that his assailant had not taken his panic ring, and so he activated the device, hoping that the authorities would arrive shortly. (FJ1)

Holla
This man did not like the use of a combat paraglider as a personal transport, since those vehicles offered little protection against ground-based fire. (GUN)

Hollan D1 Sector
The Alliance used a group of starships, stolen from the Overlord Ghorin, to destroy a vital Imperial storage area in this sector. (XW)

Hollast VII
This planet, the primary world in the Hollastin System, was the site of a number of Alliance-funded insurgences aimed at freeing the populace from Imperial control. Some of them had secondary goals of overthrowing Glorga the Hutt. (SWJ4, AIR, OWS)

Hollastin System
This star system served as the base of operations for Glorga the Hutt, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (AIR)

Hollis, Lutin
This young man grew in the rolling hills of the planet Naboo, working on his family's small farm. He joined the Royal Security Forces as a youth, and trained extensively to become a fighter pilot. He was known as a confident pilot who would do anything to protect his family and his homeworld. His son, Reye', eventually joined the Alliance, and also had a distinguished military career. (BFN, SWI74)

Hollis, Reye'
This Alliance Sergeant was one the leaders of the troopers who defended Echo Base, during the Battle of Hoth. A native of the planet Naboo, and the son of Lutin Hollis, Reye' trained under the watchful eye of Colonel Firest before being promoted to Sergeant. He was one of the only members of Firest's command team to survive the battle, and single-handedly pulled two of his medical personnel out of the way of an AT-ST before being injured himself. His survival only added to his incredible record of success, and he was awarded the Kenobi Medallion for his bravery. (CCG9, SWI74)

Hollow Moon
This moon was owned by the crimelord Sollima, who established a number of casinos within the excavated core of the world, during the height of the New Order. The Hollow Moon was located in the Khorya System of the Si'Klaata Cluster, and straddled the boundary of Hutt Space. In addition to casinos found beneath its surface, the Hollow Moon contained a gladiator arena where beings of all races and configurations battled for their lives. On the outside of the moon's surface, slaves and failed gladiators were forced into hard labor by Sollima, carrying out all manner of grueling tasks without any hope of freedom. That changed when Chewbacca was sent to the gladiator arena, as collateral that was held by Sollima, who had hired Han Solo to recover an accounting droid that had been stolen by Imperial forces. Chewbacca won several gladiator matches, but discovered the slavery after defeating Dravin Razorbrain. (HMK)

Hollow Mountains
This mountain range was located near the capital city of Unparala, on the planet Virjuansi. The underground levels of these mountains were riddled with caves and tunnels by borecrawlers, some natural and others created by the Virujansi for living areas and storage facility. (SWI72)

Hollowtown
This was the name given to the huge, central biosphere that was located in Centerpoint Station. It was a beautiful area of gardens, parks, and living spaces. It was lit by the Glowpoint, and provided nearly all the foodstuffs needed to keep the inhabitants fed. However, when the station began generating strange pulses timed with the destruction of stars listed on the Starbuster plot, the Glowpoint incinerated everything in Hollowtown until the oxygen ran out. When Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian first set foot inside, the toxic residues of the destruction made Hollowtown unlivable. Lando later discovered that Hollowtown and the Glowpoint were components of the huge power supply needed to keep the hyperspatial tractor beam operational. The Glowpoint acted as a pilot light, which Hollowtown was a battery of sorts.

During the height of the Galactic Alliance's war against The Confederation, some twenty-two years later, Doctor Toval Seyal planned to overload the Glowpoint, as a last resort, to prevent Jacen Solo from taking control of the station. (SC, LF7)

Holman, Deke
This dark-skinned human man was a native of the planet Socorra, and was a member of the Alliance's Harrier infiltration team. A good friend of Arecelis Acosta, Deke was known to as a middle-aged thrill seeker who had joined the Alliance after spending time as a pirate and mercenary. Deke had fought in several battles against the Empire, along side of Alliance personnel, before enlisting himself. When his commander, Fable Astin, went AWOL looking for Jaalib Brandl, Deke remained an important part of the Harrier team until he received a call from Jaalib. Deke took the Prodigal and flew to Trulalis to rescue Fable. (SWJ8)

Holm'starn
This city was located on the eastern continent of the planet Bothawui. (SPG)

Holo
A message or other broadcast received on a holographic device. They can be short, personal messages or entire movies, such as the holo-thriller. (HSL, HTTE, JS)

Holo House
This arcade attraction was popular at funfairs in the Core Worlds, during the final years of the Old Republic. The Holo House was similar to a house of mirrors in many respects, but lacked any actual mirrors to reflect images of the beings inside. Instead, the Holo House used accurate holographic representations of the beings inside. These images were not reversed, as in a mirror image, but fully accurate, making them hard to distinguish from the actual being. Inside the Holo House, illuminating laser beams created a network of criss-crossed pathways. At any point where two or more laser beams met, a random holographic image of any being currently inside the Holo House was displayed. Thus, as a being moved through the various portals and levels of the Holo House, they could pass through holograms or bump into real beings, creating an environment in which confusion and hilarity went together with amusing results. (CN2)

Holo3-Graphics
This computer architecture designer created the Multi-Motion framework for realtime, three-dimensional computing. (CFG)

Holo-bit Generator
This device allows the user to manipulate a pre-recorded holo-transmission and create a false transmission. The generator first makes a holographic image of the desired subject, then runs it through a bit manipulation program to generate subsequent images. The complete set of images forms a smooth, seemingly real transmission. (CFG)

Holobook
This was a slim, crystalline board which was used to store vast amounts of information. Developed during the early millennia of the Old Republic, holohbooks were incredibly durable, and required only a small amount to power to remain active. The Jedi Archives, located on Coruscant during the last decades of the Old Republic, contained literally millions of holobooks, some of which dated back to the origins of the Republic. When properly stored and maintained, holobooks gave off a soft, blue glow. Like the Jedi Holocrons, holobooks provided interactive interfaces to their knowledge, allowing a reader to delve as deeply into subject matter as they desired. (VD2, SWI94)

Holobooth
This was the generic term used to describe any small kiosk or chamber in which an individual being could experience a three-dimensional hologram of their own choosing.

This was a form of communication technology that allowed several beings in different locations to meeting and discuss items of importance. Each being was given a specific location in the virtual meeting room, so that their holographic images didn't overlap when displayed at each location. By using holoconferences, it appeared as if all participants were sitting or standing in the same place, and only the flickering blue light of a hologram made it obvious that certain beings were not actually present. (CWWS)

Holocorder
This form of personal, holographic recording device captured full-form, three-dimensional images as well as sound for later playback. (SL)

Holocron
Known originally as a holographic chronicle, this was a recording device used by the ancient Jedi Knights to hold the multitude of teachings and lore needed to maintain the Jedi Knights. Each of these devices provided a visual and vocal way to view the enclosed information. The holocron was essentially a dense crystal, with intricate lattices and vertices which were capable of storing huge amounts of information. Most were small enough to fit in the palm of a human being.

Each holocron had a gatekeeper assigned to dispense the information. The gatekeeper contained the cognitive network functions of a Jedi Master, and acted as a search, recovery, and storage allocation program. Most Holocrons were shaped like small, translucent cubes, since the cubic form was among the most stable. However, pyramids and dodecahedrons were also known to exist. Often, a Holocron could only be activated by a person controlling The Force. The Holocron seemed sense the user's ability with the Force, and had the ability to block out areas of knowledge that were beyond the user's ability.

Despite the fact that Holocrons were first developed by the Jedi Knights, their use was not limited to the members of the Jedi Order. Several holocrons containing Sith lore were created by the ancient Sith Order. Most of the Sith Holocrons that were created were pyramidal in shape, while Jedi Holocrons were cubic. Despite their source or their contents, however, holocrons could only be accessed by a being who had some control over the Force. Once activated, any being could converse with the gatekeeper, but the data contained inside was protected by technology that sensed a user's skills and limited their access to knowledge as appropriate.

Although holocrons are often associated with the Jedi Knights, the technology for constructing a Holocron and storing personalities and knowledge within one was originally documented by King Adas, an ancient Sith Lord who acquired it from the Rakatans. The knowledge of holocron construction was lost to both the Jedi and the Sith many thousands of years before the Battle of Yavin, although it was believed that Belia Darzu had documented the technique. Darth Bane scoured the galaxy for information on constructing a holocron, and although some of it was specific to the Sith, most of it was common. The gatekeeper was given the personality of the specific individual who created the holocron, and was actually constructed at the molecular level when the matrix of the holocron was formed. Symbols and markings on the outside of each holocron were placed there by the creator, during the formation of the holocron, to help the creator channel the Force into stabilizing the matrix and powering the cognitive properties of the holocron. The Sith went so far as the develop a Ritual of Invocation that must be performed to generate and empower the symbols that powered a holocron.

Even with this ritual, however, the holocron could take weeks or months to complete, and the cognitive matrix would rapidly decay if not properly contained within the crystalline lattice of the holocron. Once the matrix deteriorated, the holocron would implode, collpasing into a powdery dust. In order to ensure that the cognitive matric within a holocron remained viable, a capstone was used to effectively plug the holocron, keeping the power of the matrix within the crystal itself. The ancient Sith developed a Rite of Commencement to trap the congitive matrix inside a holocron, forcing it to remain viable. It was unclear if the Jedi Order used a similar technique to trap the cognitive matrix inside their holocrons. (DE1, JS, DA, IJ, SWJ14, DSSB, JAF, DBRT, EGF)

(CWTV13)

Holocron of Belia Darzu
This was the term used to describe the four-sided, pyramidal holocron that was created by Belia Darzu, many decades before the Battle of Ruusan. The Shi'ido Sith Lord kept the holocron, and the secrets for creating other holocrons, hidden in a chamber beneath her fortress on Tython. After her death, the holocron remained hidden for many years, until Darth Bane learned of its existence from the Serenno noble Hetton. Bane had tried unsuccessfully to create his own holocron, and traveled to Tython to recover the Holocron of Belia Darzu to help him complete his task. It was not known what became of Belia Darzu's holocron in the years that followed. (DBRT)

Holocron of Bodo Baas
This was a term used to describe the Tedryn Holocron, after the device was recovered from the planet Byss by Skywalker's sister, Leia Organa Solo.

Hologram Fun World
An amusement park that was located in a transparent dome that floats in a blue helium cloud in the Zabian System, Hologram Fun World boasts that it can make any visitor's dreams come true. The World itself isn't really a world, but a self-contained planetoid that was about 40 kilometers in diameter. It was filled with holographic entertainment of all kinds, from realistic excursions to remote worlds, to incredible simulations of huge creatures. Borborygmus Gog managed to obtain permission from Danna Fajji to build his Nightmare Machine there, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Lando Calrissian later purchased controlling interest and ran the theme park, after losing Cloud City to Zorba the Hutt in a rigged sabacc match. (QE, GOF4)

Hologram Projection Pod
Developed by SoroSuub, this circular device allowed the user to send a full-body, holographic communication to another being. It required that the receiving party have a holographic display unit.

Holographic Zoo of Extinct Animals
Located in Imperial City on Coruscant, this institution was an interactive museum that used holographic, three-dimensional images to create landscape and depict extinct animals from around the galaxy. Visitors could walk among the various displays as if they were in a real zoo, but were able to interact more with the displays because the creatures they depicted were not real. Because the exhibits were rendered with holograms, they could be changed on a regular basis, providing visitors with an ever-changing gallery of the galaxy's most bizarre and frightening creatures. The actual construction of each display was remarkably similar, and the entire facility looked like a collection of identical cubicles when deactivated. This provided a measure of consistency among the exhibits, as well as providing display programmers with a common set of parameters with which to design new displays. (DA)

Hologym
An athletic training facility which employed holographic arenas, obstacles, and opponents in the games played there. (GOF2)

Once the main vehicle for spreading news instantaneously thoroughout the galaxy, the Holonet used subspace relays to transmit three-dimensional images to various holonet receivers. This media distribution system allowed the Old Republic to have instant access to any inhabited location in the galaxy. It was created from hundreds of thousands of non-mass transceivers connected through an incredible matrix of coordinated SimuTunnels. Each endpoint was equippde with a huge computer system that decoded and sorted the transmitted information. Initially, the HoloNet was incredibly expensive to maintain and operate. Thus, its use was usually restricted to purely governmental transmissions. Over the centuries of its existence, however, the HoloNet became an almost indispensible technology, linking the planets of the Old Republic together with virtually instantaneous communiction. During the Clone Wars, the Confederacy of Independent Systems was forced to create its own version of the HoloNet, in order to maintain communication during the fighting. After Palpatine assumed control of the galaxy, he limited the HoloNet to specific Imperial uses, in order to control the flow of information through the galaxy. After the Battle of Endor, the New Republic began to re-establish civilian use of the HoloNet, restoring the primary communication vehicle required for a galactic government. The completion of the new HoloNet was cut short by the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, as large parts of the galaxy were attacked and cut off. After the Second Battle of Coruscant, when the survivors of the Senate fled to Calamari, much of the HoloNet equipment which had been repaired or replaced was simply abandoned. Without contact with the Republic, as provided by the HoloNet, many small warlords chose to leave the system alone, protecting their small piece of the galaxy. Cal Omas, as the newly-elected Chief of State of the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, decided to once again re-establish the HoloNet, to help draw the galaxy together in an effort to fend off the alien invaders. The usefulness of the repaired HoloNet was cut short by the development of the magubat kan, a Yuuzhan Vong bioform which attacked HoloNet relay stations and destroyed them. (RPG, ISB, FH1, FP, LEV)

This news agency eventually acquired the HoloNet News Service, and became one of the galaxy's largest providers of news and information during the height of the Clone Wars. HNE also produced some of the most exciting and enjoyed traveling shows during this era, sending dancers, singers, and entertainers to far-flung worlds to entertain the troops of the Grand Army of the Republic. In the wake of the Galactic Civil War and the re-establishment of the HoloNet under the New Republic government, HNE was given a chance to return to its operations. It continued to grow and expand for many years, and was perhaps the largest news agency in the galaxy during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. (RCTZ, LF2, CN1)

The injured being could move slightly from their downed position, getting a short distance away under the protection of the shroud. When the attacker came to determine his victim's status, the victim could pounce on his attacker and surprise him. The technology was developed and refined during the New Republic, until the holoshroud could be used to cloak the true appearance of an individual during normal activity. Note that this level of technology was indicated as being available at the end of the Clone Wars in Boba Fett: A New Threat. (TME, SBS, BF5)

Holosign

When Holt's crew discovered that the Millennium Falcon was part of the small Alliance task force that traveled to Morne's location, he relayed this information to Vader and asked if there were any changes to his orders. Captain Holt was somewhat confused when Vader to him to hold his position, and to allow any rebels who fled the world to go free. Holt remained in orbit when an one of the Alliance ships sped past his Star Destroyer, but when the second vessel appeared on a collision course, Vader ordered him to open fire. Before he could relay this contradictory order, Holt and his entire crew were transformed into rakghouls by Celeste Morne, who had commandeered the rebel ship and then fled into the depths of space. Without a sane mind to control it, Holt's Star Destroyer tumbled out of control and smashed into the planetoid, killing all hands aboard when it exploded into flames. (SWRV)

Holt, Arhul

Also known as the Spider Tank or Spider Walker, the homing spider droid had a spherical body that was plated with armor, and contained sensor systems and weaponry. The legs of the homing spider droid allowed it to maneuver across the terrain of any battlefield, where it used its sensor systems to read the battle and coordinate the front-line droid troops. When extended to its full height, the homing spider droid stood just over 7.3 meters tall. Its weapons systems were modular, allowing it to be refitted for a variety of mission profiles. The primary weapon used by the homing spider droid was a homing laser, which caused damage while it obtained ranging information on a target. Other weapons could then destroy the target while another target was acquired. With its long legs, the homing spider droid could move about at speeds approaching 90 kilometers per hour. The original designs were created by the Baktoid Armor Workshop, but were later sold to the Commerce Guild as part of Baktoid's dissolution. With the end of the Clone Wars, all homing spider droids were issued orders to deactivate, as part of Darth Sidious' plan to consolidate military power and ensure the loyalty of his troops. (VD2, SWDB, SWI62, NEGV, LAWS, VD3, X3)

Homogoni
This hardwood tree was harvested for its wood, which was used to create luxurious and expensive pieces of furniture. (LF3)

Homon
This planet was the site of an Alliance base, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (RASB)

Homonculous
This magical construct resembled a large, winged monkey. It had mottled green skin and wicked claws that exuded a powerful poison. Dhar Bullwin used a homonculous to divert a group of scouts that was searching for the Eye of Koda. When a homonculous was killed, it seems to dissolve into a greenish mist, leaving behind a ghastly skeleton. (GG8)

Homthor Deck
One of two credicruise decks on the Kuari Princess, it was located immediately below the Lido Deck. Most of the starcruiser's staterooms were located on this deck and its partner, the Wellad Deck. (RM)

Homunculus-wasp
This small, poisonous insect was native to the planet Af'El. Assassins sometimes used these small creatures to kill their targets, since the wasp was very tiny. These creatures were called kheilwar by the Defel. There was only a short period of time in which the homunculus-wasp could be employed this way, for they grew at an astonishing rate. In just a week, the tiny insect could amass more than twenty kilograms of body weight and grow to a height of 1.5 meters or more. They were armed with razor-sharp fins and large wings that absorbed and warped visible light, giving it the ability to seemingly disappear. Perhaps their most unusual ability, though, was the ability to transform its body into a simulacrum of anyone it had met. This allowed the creature to further blend into a crowd, and infiltrate a location if its initial attempt to kill a being failed. The homunculus-wasp was primarily a nocturnal feeder, since its sensory organs were badly damaged when exposed to normal sunlight. (SWJ14)

Hon, Degred
This Bith scientist developed a so-called "gene bomb" during the height of the New Order, which he hoped to use in an effort to clean up his homeworld of Clak'Dor VII. When his scientific colleagues refused to accept his plans, Degred Hon chose to take matters into his own hands. He planned to hijack a shuttle from Mezhra Station and crash it into the planet, but a group of freelance operatives was able to thwart his plans before they could be launched. (GORW)

Hondi, Panza
This male Guineo was a known criminal, living in the industrial district of Coruscant during the years following the Battle of Naboo. It was believed that Panza was working for Groff Haug at the time. He was wanted by the Coruscant police for the murder of an off-duty police officer, and was eventually captured by Jango Fett. (BH)

This flowering plant was harvested for it petals and leaves, which were dried and crush to produce an aromatic spice that was often used in incense. (CN1)

Honeycrust
This was a form of sweet bread, made even sweeter by basting the crust in honey during baking. (EVR)

Honeydarter
This species of insect was known for the honey it produced from a variety of flowers. It was not unusual to see clusters of honeydarters hovering over a flowering bush, all flitting about in search of a free blossom. (SQ)

Honeyflower
The blossoms of this plant produced a thick, sweet smell. (T)

Honeystix
This dessert was perfected on the planet Rishi, and was served lightly fried and dusted with sweet poweder. (SWJ12)

Hong
This Imperial recruit held the rank of Sergeant Major, and served under Kyle Katarn during the assault on asteroid AX-456. Kyle relied on Hong's judgment, but Hong bristled when Kyle ordered that a team of Alliance soldiers - including Jan Ors - were allowed to go free once the the base was secured. Hong accepted Kyle's orders, however, when Kyle explained that the Imperials needed to conserve ammunition. Hong later died during the Imperials' final stand against the rebels. (SFE)

Honi
This was one of the most common female names given to human children across the galaxy. (GCG)

Honi
This young Jedi trainee was almost three when Obi-Wan Kenobi was chosen to be the padawan of Qui-Gon Jinn. (CT)

Honiten
This alias was used by Falynn Sandskimmer, when she and Wraith Squadron infiltrated the planet Storinal. Honiten was a native of Bakura, and was one of the bodyguards protecting Wes Janson, who was using the alias Iskit Tyestin. (WS)

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

Honka
This male Rodian was a frequent patron of Dex's Diner, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He was often seen in the company of his lady-friend, Sidewa. (OWS)

Honking
This was a mild expletive used by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to indicate something that smelled horribly, as in, "That Hutt is honking". (CWN)

Honocha
This was the Huttese word for the number twenty-one (21). Note, however, that the Huttese counting system was based on a base-eight system. So, honocha indicated the number seventeen (17) in the Basic language. (GMR5)

Honoghr
This once-lush paradise of a planet was the homeworld of the Noghri, and was virtually unknown until it was nearly devastated during the Clone Wars. Warships from both sides of the conflict met over the planet's surface, with the fighting leading to a Separatist vessel crashing into the planet' surface and unleashing a devastating biological weapon.

Many of the ruins found on the planet suggested that it was once colonized by the Rakata, but this link could never be completely proven. During the decades leading up to the Battle of Ruusan, Honoghr was the site of a minor Sith training academy, where Sith Warriors and Sith Marauders were trained for battle. In the wake of the Clone Wars, however, all records of Honoghr's existence seemed to disappear. Noghri history was unclear as to when the battle took place and who the combatants were, since the year on Honoghr was slightly different than that of Coruscant. The Noghri claimed that a huge space battle took place above the planet, and one of the ships was destroyed. It plummeted to the planet's surface, setting off earthquakes and releasing toxic chemicals into the atmosphere. The Noghri claimed that it was Darth Vader himself who arrived to offer aid, an offer the Noghri readily accepted. In return, they made Vader their Lord and Savior.

In the following decades, many Noghri came to believe that the entire series of events was the work of Emperor Palpatine, who wanted to enslave Noghri for his own uses. To further perpetuate the ruse, Palpatine had arranged that the decontamination droids sent to the planet would continue to poison it by planting modified kholm grass. This modified grass would choke out all other vegetation, while making it appear that the planet could still support life.

Historians later found that, although the events themselves were mostly accurate, the battle that precipitated events on Honoghr took place during the Clone Wars, some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. It was believed that the Separatist ship Gahenna - bound for Naboo carrying a cargo of trihexalophine1138 - was intercepted at Honoghr and shot down. Although every effort was made to remedy the situation, the chemical defoliant was too powerful to stop.

Decades laters, when Leia Organa Solo and Chewbacca discovered the plot following the downfall of the Empire, they were unaware of the history, but worked with the Noghri to remedy the situation. After the deception of Darth Vader and the Emperor was made apparent to the Noghri, they quickly joined the New Republic. However, all efforts to restore the planet's broken ecosystem turned out to be futile, as the once-green world was incapable of recovering. The Noghri eventually relocated to the planet Wayland, leaving Honoghr for dead.

Honoghr was the fourth planet in the Honoghr system, and had three natural satellites. The system was located near the planet Kessel and Fwillsving. Honoghr had a rotation of 23 hours, and its orbit lasted about 352 local days. Note that The New Essential Guide to Alien Species indicates that Honoghr's year was just one-half of a standard year. (DFR, DFRSB, SOP, RAR, NECH, DBPD, NEGA)

Honoghran
This was the native language of the Noghri race. (HT)

Honor
One of the Yevethan warships sent to purge Polneye. (BTS)

Honor Among Thieves
This epic poem was written by the Snivvian artist Toirboggle. (HR)

Honor Clan
This was the name given to a group of Wookiee hunters and warriors who worked together to throw off the Imperial yoke of control on Kashyyyk. (HR)

Honor of the Armor, The
This was the term used by the Imperial stormtroopers who served the Empire nearly a century after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Honor of the Armor was the simplest description of the pride and purpose a soldier felt when fighting as a stormtrooper for the good of the Empire. (SWLN)

Honor Rigora
Originally defined by Arvo Norstrag as part of the Rules of the Blade, this form of rigora duel was fought between a dishonored pirate and the champion of the defender. This form of duel was often invoked when the defender was an inferior duelist. (PP, SWJ5)

Honorable Union of Desevro and Tion
This was one of the most ancient political factions of the Outer Rim Territories, formed in the wake of the death of Xim the Despot. More than a century after Xim's death, his empire began to split apart, and the worlds of the former Livien League and the Tion Hegemony formed a brief bloc to ensure their security. (GORW)

Honoran, Wren
This Jedi Master was one of many who retired from active service in the field to train students at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. He was known for his politcal acumen, having grasped a wide range of political philosophies and leadership regimens. He was also an expert in survival skills. Wren often led expeditions to Ragoon-6, where he challenged a Master-Padawan team to find him in the wilderness, using only their wits. His survival skills were unparalleled, and he often left false or circular trails to confuse those who were following him. This allowed the Master and his student to work together, as a team, thereby deepening their bond and developing teamwork skills while trying to locate Wren. Five years before the onset of the Clone Wars, Wren accompanied Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to Ragoon-6, only to find himself in the midst of a plot by Granta Omega to capture the Jedi. Wren himself was rendered unconscious, but was later rescued by Obi-Wan and Anakin. (JQ2)

Honorary Elder
This was a title given to those Ewoks who proved themselves loyal to a tribe other than their own. Many Ewoks earned the title of Honorary Elder after their villages were destroyed by natural disasters, or they were simply in the right place at the right time to help. (SWDB)

Honored Ones
This was the name used by the Nejma to described themselves as a people. (GMR1)

Honor-wife
This was the name used to describe the one of the secondary wives of a Cerean male. The ratio of Cerean men to women was one to twenty, so most males take several honor-wives in addition to their bond-wife. The relationship between the bond-wife and the honor-wives was often strained, especially with relationship to the bearing of children. (PTR)

Hontho
This Gamorren served as one of 8t88's henchmen during the years following the Battle of Endor. Unfortunately, when Kyle Katarn tracked 8t88 back to Sulon, during his search for the data disk that contained information on the location of the Valley of the jedi, Hontho and his companions were killed by Kyle in an effort to capture 8t88. (RAG)

Hoob, Mian
A Sullustan member of Page's Commandos, Mian Hoob works with Korren as the team's technical specialists. (HTSB)

Hood, Jaybo
This young boy was a native of the planet Iego. Just ten years old during the early stages of the Clone Wars, Jaybo Hood lived in the city of Cliffhold, where he was known for his ability to repair almost any kind of technology, especially droids. Ever since the onset of the Clone Wars, Jaybo had been putting together a horde of mismatched droids, formed from various parts he had scavenged from the Separatist forces that had taken control of Iego at the start of the war. When the Separatists abandoned Iego, Jaybo discovered a warehouse with a treasure trove of droid parts, allowing him to create even more droids to carry out his wishes. When Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived on Iego in search of the reeksa root, Jaybo helped them located the strange plants. Although they were able to recover a piece of the root, Amit Noloff warned them that they would never escape Drol, who was both the protector and the destroyer of Iego. The two Jedi realized that Drol was nothing more than a Separatist security system based on an asteroid near Millius Prime, and set out to destroy it. Jaybo reprogrammed several vulture droids to fly into the asteroids and smash the laser security system, helping the Jedi destroy Drol and allowing them to return to Naboo. However, despite the fact that Iego had been freed from Separatist control, Jaybo remained on Iego, ostensibly to maintain his own lifestyle. He soon discovered that something about the laser security system had not been destroyed, and believed that there was something hiding in the area of space known as The Thicket. He explained this to Kenobi and Skywalker when the returned to Iego, and convinced them to investigate. (CWTV18, CWOC1)

Hood, Willrow
This man established a home on Cloud City, in orbit around the gas giant Bepsin, after A'roFilter transferred him there to oversee its Tibanna gas mining operations. Because A'roFilter was sympathetic to the Alliance's ideals during the Galactic Civil War, Hood worked with his superiors to sell Tibanna gas to the Alliance at a discount. He suspected that Tian Chyler was monitoring his activities, but always made sure to completely cover his tracks, in order to protect the interests of both A'roFilter and the Alliance.

When the Empire garrisoned Cloud City in the wake of the Battle of Hoth, Hood did what he thought was necessary to keep information on the Tibanna gas scheme out of Imperial hands. He grabbed the main computer core in his office and disposed of it in a garbage recycler, destroying all the data it contained. He remained on Cloud City during the Imperial occupation, and was arrested and interrogated at least once, although he never revealed any information about his connection to the Alliance.

He found an unexpected ally in the person of Tian Chyler, who decided to defect to the Alliance. Together, they aided the rebels who eventually regained control of Cloud City. Despite the thrill of these adventures, Hood decided to retire as a rebel, and eventually returned to his simple job with A'roFilter. (CCG5, SWDB)

Hood Family
This small corporation was based on Cloud City, in orbit around Bespin, and produced some of the galaxy's best premium ice creams, during the final years of the Old Republic. (OWS)

Hooded Crystal Snake
This species of crystal snake, native to Yavin 4, was named for the way it could flatten out its neck, giving it the appearance of having a hood. This was considered by some xenobiologists to be a defense mechanism, while others believed that it was a way to attract a mate. (SWG2P)

Hooded Rawl
This species of rawl, a creature native to Naboo, was distinguished by the way it could flatten its neck into the shape of a hood. (SWG2P)

Hoodish
This was one of the many dialects of Old Corellian that were spoken on various parts of the planet Corellia. (MJH)

Hoodu Geyser Fields
This open plain, studded with natural steam geysers, was located on the planet Baroonda. (RAC)

Hoogra-D'En, Ort
This Ho'Din was born on the planet Moltok, but spent much of his childhood on Anemcoro. His work on the planet included the cultivation and propogation of several rare species of plants. When the Empire "accidentally" fired on Anemcoro while trying to halt the civil war raging between two neighboring planets, his work was destroyed in the fires that swept the planet, and he vowed to make them pay for their actions. Along with Tergeth Dilorr and Babel Senjorg, Hoogra-D'En began bombing Imperial locations in the Outer Rim with spore bombs of his own design. The Empire put out a bounty on Hoogra-D'En, who was later captured on Pallaxides when he tried to hide out in his base. (ND)

Hoohah
This was the Huttese pronoun for "them." (GMR5)

Hoohah keepuna
This Huttese command translated into Basic as "Shoot them!" (TF)

Hoojib
This species of telepathic rodents was native to the planet Arbra. Their fur was noted for its pastel coloration, and their "cute" appearance caused many "advanced" races to underestimate their intelligence. This appearance, coupled with the Hoojibs' lack of advanced technology, made many other sentient races overlook them. The average Hoojib had large, floppy ears and large eyes, and they tended to form familial clans that were outgoing toward visitors to Arbra. They assisted the Alliance to some degree, although only a single clan made any effort to leave Arbra and assist in the struggle against the Empire. Hoojibs did not consume food as most other creatures did, which involved the digestion of food to create energy. Instead, the Hoojibs fed directly on the energy itself. Much of their nourishment came from a vast crystalline structure located beneath the surface of Arbra, which channeled energy from the planet's core. By feeding on this energy, the Hoojibs also kept the planet's energy resources in balance, preventing a catastrophic build-up of power. (EGA, MC55, LTA5, ANT)

Hook Nebula
This area of the galaxy was a strategic location during the Galactic Civil War, set between the Empire and a number of rebellious worlds. Located in the Sarin Sector of the Outer Rim Territories, this nebula was also the home of the Qeimet Fleet. Note that issue 15 of the Star Wars Adventure Journal indicates that the Hook Nebula made up its own, separate sector. (ISB, SWJ15)

Hookah Pipe
This was a form of water pipe used to mix plant smoke with chemicals to produce a euphoric smog, which could be directly inhaled or smoked through an attached pipe. (VD, TJP)

Hook-blade
This handheld weapon - with curved, razor-sharp blades that were no longer than one's fingers - was used by Sakiyans in hand-to-hand combat. (MBS)

Hookyr the First
This Hiromi leader was the primary force behind Operation Glorious Destiny, the Hiromi plans for domination over the planet Zeltros. However, during the invasion, the Hiromi discovered that the Nagai were also invading Zeltros, as were the Tofs. Rather than find themselves at the short end of the stick, Hookyr agreed to ally the Hiromi with Luke Skywalker and the Alliance of Free Planets. However, he had not planned on Luke's attempting an assault on the Tof command ship, in order to rescue his friends. (MC104, MC105, PH)

Hool
This Nagai Commander was placed in charge of a mission to the Forest Moon of Endor by the individual known as Knife, some months after the Battle of Endor. (MC100)

Hool, Ch'Gang
This Yuuzhan Vong Master Shaper was in charge of the regrowth of several dhuryams, which would compete to serve as the World Brain used to seed Coruscant. The Yuuzhan Vong hoped to complete reform Coruscant into a new version of their long-lost homeworld, Yuuzhan'tar, and it was Ch'Gang Hool's responsibility to maintain and care for the priceless dhuryams. Ch'Gang Hool was distinguished from other Shapers by the strange group of tentacles which were grafted to the corner of his mouth. These tentacles writhed and twitched to their own rhythm, but sometimes seemed to move in reaction to Hool's mood. He objected to the fact that Nom Anor and Vergere used his seedship, the Coruscant itself, as their training group for Jacen Solo, but was forced to go along with their plans. His fears were nearly realized when Jacen's actions during the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat artificially eliminated all but a single dhuryam. However, the World Brain was installed on Coruscant, and the Vongforming of the planet continued. Within months, Coruscant resembled Yuuzhan'tar. Ch'Gang Hool had another scare when he learned that Solo had ended up on Coruscant, instead of being killed aboard the seedship. Solo, who had befriended the dhuryam World Brain, was allowed private access to the Well in order to sacrifice Ganner Rhysode. Jacen, however, planned to use his mental link to the dhuryam to ask it a favor. While there was no outward damage to Ch'Gang Hool's World Brain, it had agreed to work as a spy for Jacen and the New Republic. Unfortunately for Ch'Gang Hool, the outward manifestation of his relationship costs him his life. Many Yuuzhan Vong on the Great Council saw Coruscant's constant rejection of worldshaping - the fungal infection that caused intense itching, the imprinting of villips on indigenous rodents, blorash jelly that attacked its creators - as a failure to fully tame Coruscant. Because of this failure, Ch'Gang Hool was executed on the orders of Supreme Overlord Shimrra. (T, DW)

Hoolau
This was one of the most common male names used by members of the Ithorian race. Although most Ithorian names were not used for a specific meaning, historians found that this name meant "strong wind", and was based on an archaic term referring to sailing ships. (GCG)

Hoole, (Indeterminate)
see Mammon Hoole (ISU, GOF6)

Hoole, Mammon
Twenty years before the Battle of Yavin, Mammon Hoole joined the Old Republic as a scientist. A Shi'ido who had graduated from the Chandrilan Academy of Sciences alongside Borborygmus Gog, Hoole was reunited with Gog by the Republic, working to develop countermeasures to the bioweapons that were being developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems to combat the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic. In the wake of the Clone Wars, both scientists were retained by the Galactic Empire, and charged with discovering the ability to control life and death. Emperor Palpatine himself approved the funding for a huge base on the planet Kiva, where they nearly discovered a way to create life from nothing. However, Hoole recognized that their experiments would steal all the life from the planet Kiva, leaving it a barren wasteland and wiping out the native Kivans. Gog, however, didn't care about the results of the experiment, as long as it continued. He failed to relay Hoole's message to Palpatine, and provided Hoole with a false response from the Emperor approving further tests. In the end, Kiva was wiped out, and Hoole was blamed by Gog for the failure of the experiment. Hoole fled Imperial service, hiding wherever he could and using his shape-changing ability to elude capture.

Many years later, Hoole decided to expose the project, known as Starscream, and joined the Empire as a Senior Anthropologist assigned to investigating many planets and adding information about them to the Empire's planetary database. He used the Shi'ido's ability to shape-shift as a way to blend in with planetary races, easing his transition into their culture and opening them up to his questions. He once did a report on Tatooine, detailing the lives of the Jawas, Sand People, and even Jabba the Hutt's retinue. When Hoole realized what the Empire stood for, he fled Imperial service and returned to Tatooine seeking Jabba's help. Through the crimelord's various sources, Hoole managed to get all records of his existence erased from the Imperial databanks, and he was given a new identity. He also created the droid D-V9 to help him in his efforts. Just as he began his search for the whereabouts of Borborygmus Gog and Project Starscream, Hoole learned that the planet Alderaan had been destroyed. His brother, Moloch, and sister-in-law had been killed, along with Moloch's in-laws, Kalf and Milessa Arranda. Hoole then became the only living guardian of their children, Tash and Zak Arranda, who had been on a field trip when the Death Star destroyed Alderaan. He had to bring them along on his search, and entrusted much of their care to DV-9.

Hoole and the children then tracked down all the leads on Gog and Starscream, eventually managing to destroy it on Kiva, along with Gog himself. This earned them the wrath of Darth Vader and a death warrant in just about every star system they could flee to, although they managed to remain one step ahead of the Empire. (ISU, GOF1, GOF2, GOF6, GOF7, OWS)

Hooly
This man was a Tech Sergeant with the Alliance during the height of the Galactic Civil War, and was known for his expertise with all manner of blaster weapons. (RAG)

Hoom
A huge Phlog, he was the son of Zut and Dobah. (ECAR)

A Phlog female who fell in love with Wicket after drinking a magic Dulok potion. The potion was believed to have been a hate potion, which Umwak had planned to give to the Phlogs to enlist their aid in defeating the Ewoks. (ECAR)

Hoonta
This was an uncommon name among the Rodian people. (GCG)

Hoopster's Prank
This freighter belonged to Booster Terrik, and was often sent out to assist in the shipment of pommwomm plants. It was boarded by Rogue Squadron on the assumption that it was carrying contraband, but was found to be clean. The Sif'krie race then banned smugglers from carrying their pommwomm plants. (SOP, VOF)

Hoorrkhukk
This was one of the largest Wookiee cities established on the planet Kashyyyk. Like its counterparts, Hoorrkhukk was established around a manufacturing facility, and was built in the intertwined branches of wroshyr trees. (GMR4)

Hoorst, Varas
This man, a native of the city of Bayonard, on the planet Cularin, owned and operated a speeder repair ship during the final years of the Old Republic. Hoorst was also something of a traitor, and served as a middle-man for shipments of supplies that were destined for Thaereian spies on the planet. (JCT1)

Hoot
This man ostensibly served the Imperial military as a Colonel, serving under Admiral Brady during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Unknown to his superiors, Colonel Hoot was secretly working for the Alliance, using his position as one of Admiral Brady's chief aides to provide information on Imperial military actions to rebel groups that might be impacted. Hoot had been recruited by General T. Morrow of the Alliance to serve as a spy in Admiral Brady's command structure. Using the codename Patriot One, Colonel Hoot was able to warn rebels on various worlds of the Empire's plans to destroy abandoned or vacant homes and buildings, ostensibly to improve the quality of life for the human populations on these worlds. In reality, the Emperor wanted to eliminate any chance that rebels could use these structures as meeting places. (SWGAL)

Hoot bad liaz?
This Mandalorian question translated into Basic as 'Why were you scared?' (KOTOR)

Hootbat
An avian creature native to Clak'Dor VII, the hootbat was named for its unusual hooting song. (TCC)

Hooth, Reelov
This Twi'lek male served as a high-ranking official at the Kala'uun Spaceport's customs facility during the early years of the New Order. Despite his position, Hooth was also a noted bookie who used his connections to the government to improve his chances of winning. He regularly maintained an office pool to "hide in plain sight," betting with his co-workers on the ships and crews that passed through the spaceport. (GORW)

Hootle
This herd animal was native to the plains of Ansion. (APS)

Hootyboo
This was an Alderaanian slang term for a street fighter. (MJH)

Hoover
An short, four-legged, elephantine alien race with a long snout and large eyes. Their long snouts were as long as their short bodies. Despite their lowly appearance, Hoovers were highly technical, and their small size allows them to perform delicate tasks with complex equipment. A member of this species was known to inhabit Jabba's court. Their origins were not known. (E6, CCG7)

Hope
This Mon Calamari MC80a cruiser was part of the New Republic's early fleet, during the years following the Battle of Endor. Commanded by Captain Arboga, it was the first ship to recover the message carried in the cargo of the Messenger as it fled from Coruscant. The crew of the Messenger, which included Jak Bremen, was unaware that an Imperial boarding party had placed a homing beacon aboard the courier vessel. The Hope was forced to defend both ships when an Imperial Carrack-class cruiser intercepted them at their renedzvous point. (TFE, SWJ7, OWS)

Hope Five
This was the callsign given to Odie Subu and Erk H'Arman by Lieutenant D'Nore of the Freedom's Sons and Daughters military force, after the two asked to be of service to Zozridor Slayke's forces. Slayke assigned them to the Izable outpost, and D'Nore placed them in one of the forward listening posts in an area designated sector five. If they saw enemy forces moving on Izable, Subu and H'Arman were to use the Hope Five callsign to report it. (JT)

Hope Ocean
This was one of three oceans found on the planet Merisee. (PG3)

Hopetown
This settlement was formed on the planet Ennth. When the planet's moon orbited close to Ennth during its eight-year cycle, the seismic and tidal activity it spawned destroyed Hopetown. The colonists returned to Ennth after the devastation, and rebuilt it. They also renamed it New Hopetown. (SHA)

Hoppawui
This barren world was the sixth planet in the Both System, and was orbited by eight moons. (SPG)

Hopper
This was the generic term for any suborbital craft used to transport beings and cargo from a planetside starport to a transport ship in orbit. (SL)

Hopper Hole
This was the term used to describe any small access port in a starship's engine or drive system, through a maintenance droid could enter the main reactor chamber during routine cleaning and repair. (A)

Hopperoo
A jumping creature. (SE)

Hopskip
This modified YT-1300 freighter was owned by Haber Trell and Maranne Darmic. They used to smuggler weapons to the rebel underground on Derra IV. The ship looked as if it had been split down the middle, then the two halves patched together one on top of the other. It was destroyed by the 181st Imperial Fighter Group when the Empire ambushed the Alliance's supply convoy at Derra IV, shortly before the Battle of Hoth. (TFE, MBF)

Hopskip
This was a species of skittish, easily-frightened creature. (VOF)

Hop-stone
This game of a simple strategy can be played by two or more players, in a single-handed or two-handed method. (TT)

Horada, Arn
This man was Leia Organa's professor of history, during her early education on Alderaan. Years later, Leia encountered Horada on Metalorn, after she escaped from the clutches of Governor Corwyth. She had traveled to metalorn to locate Professor Horada and learn about the Empire's activities on the planet, but she barely had time to talk to him. When Baron Orman Tagge tried to capture Leia, Horada kicked a table into Tagge's path, causing him to trip and giving Leia a chance to escape. (SWDB, MC30)

Horak-mul
This one-eyed Sith warrior was loyal to Naga Sadow, although he was unsure of the Lord's true motivations. Horak-mul sided with Ludo Kressh following the death of Marka Ragnos. After Kressh discovered that Sadow had tricked the Sith into believing an Old Republic war force was coming, Horak-mul and Dor Gal-ram followed Kresh to Rhelg to plan an attack on Sadow. They led the Sith fleet to Khar Delba, and were extremely confident when the fortress put up little resistance. Horak-mul, however, was unaware of the deception of Naga Sadow, who was hiding on Khar Shian. He was also unaware that many of Sadow's spies were onboard his ship. When Sadow gave the command, the spies attacked Horak-mul and killed him just before Sadow defeated Ludo Kressh. An artifact known as the Eye of Horak-Mul appeared several decades later, and the artifact was known to have certain powers that could only have come from Sith magic. The Eye of Horka-Mul was later recovered by Celeste Morne, who served as one of the Jedi Shadows working for The Covenant. (GAS, KORV)

Horansi
This card game, known for its ruthless style of play, was popular among the Alliance's starfighter pilots during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. (XW, XWP)

Horansi
An alien race which had four tribes - the Kasa, Gorvan, Mashi, and Treka Horansi. The Horansi were a sentient, feline race native to the planet Mutanda. Their primitive, tribal society was equally welcoming to the Empire or the Republics. They recognized the importance of the prothium mines in their system and played upon it, selling themselves out as hunting guides for the miners and soldiers stationed there. The average Horansi was bipedal, although they could run on all fours when the terrain dictated it. Their night vision was especially acute, allowing them to track prey in low-light conditions. (PG1)

Horax
Native to the planet Nelvaan, this immense, reptilian creature was considered the apex predator of the planet's ecosystem. Standing some fifteen meters tall at the shoulder, the grey-skinned horax moved about on four stout, muscular legs. Its head was protected by two thick horns on the end of its snout, while four sharp tusks protruded from its vicious jaws. The horax used its horns to dig up its favored food, siltcrawlers, and it could consume an entire colony in one feedings. Its thick skin and heavy tail, which was lined with spines and ended in a bony club, provided the horax with more than adequate protection. However, despite its physical prowess, the horax was slowly dying out, primarily due to its own territoriality. Because only on horax could exist in a given area, they were continually killing each other in battles for their territories. The native Nelvaanians discovered that a potion made from the scales of a horax could keep the creature at bay, and it was something of a rite of passage for young Nelvaanian warriors to locate a horax and acquire a scale or two before being caught. (SWDB, CWC3)

Horch
Also known as Horch of Kheedar, this two-bit crimelord ruled the criminal elements of the planet Kheedar until the planet was invaded by Imperial forces. His lackeys panicked and fled, leaving his fortress undefended. Horch was faced with imminent death at the hands of the Imperials, until Noval Garaint took control of his fortress. Rather than death, Horch chose to become a slave to Garaint, who usurped control of Horch's empire. Horch kept himself blissfully unaware of his predicament by sotting himself with spice liquor. (GG9)

Hord
This Imperial tug was stationed at the NL-1 station, near Pakuuni, during the weeks that followed the Battle of Hoth. (TIE, TIEP)

Hord, Tulak
This ancient Sith Lord was buried in the Valley of the Dark Lords, on the planet Korriban, next to the tomb of Marka Ragnos. Among the artifacts Tulak Hord left behind was his mask, which served as a protective helm during his life. The mask aged to a dull black over time, but the eyes retained an eerie glow. Any being who wore the mask discovered a feeling of intense claustrophobia. (KOTOR)

Hordon Cal
This hot ball of rock was the innermost planet of the Thanta Zilbra System. It was orbited by a single moon, but both were destroyed when the Sacorrian Triad destroyed the system as part of the Starbuster Plot. (CTD)

Horgk
This was one of the many clans of Gamorreans. Their fortress was located near that of the Glonnk clan, until the Glonnk's attacked and forced the Horgks to move elsewhere. Note that this clan was also referred to as the Norgk clan in The Essential Guide to Planets and Moons. (EGP)

Horizon
This Strike-class cruiser was part of the Alliance's fleet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Horizon Hotel
This hotel was located in the Upper City of Taris, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (LF2)

Horizon-class Yacht
This luxury space yacht was produced by SoroSuub during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The basic design measured fifty-five meters in length, and required a pilot to operate as well as an astromech droid or a living navigator to keep the ship on course. The interior of the yacht was spacious enough to accommodate ten passengers and 100 metric tons of supplies. The basic model Horizon-class yacht had a hyperdrive and minimal shielding, and lacked any weaponry. However, most owners quickly added laser or blaster cannons to protect themselves from pirates. The exterior of the Horizon-class yacht was noted for its organic lines and streamlined shape. A dorsal airfoil flowed over the top of the ship and down toward the sides, and blended into the sublight drives at the rear of the ship. A pair of stout pods were mounted along the sides of the ship, and contained weapons emplacements. The ship was said to look like an oceanic creature. (NJOSB, FJ1)

Horizon-Hopper
Classified as a "light" hyperdrive, this Incom system was designed to be a backup system to a starship's normal hyperdrive. The Horizon-Hopper was one-third as powerful as a stock hyperdrive. Note that Tales from the New Republic claims the Horizon-Hopper was an old, outdated hyperdrive manufactured by SoroSuub. (GG6, TFNR)

Horizontal boosters
Part of a hyperdrive system, it provides energy to the ionization chamber to cause ignition. (E5)

Hork
This bearded man served the Alliance as a Sergeant in command of a ground assault team during the Galactic Civil War. He and his troopers had a tradition that involved new recruits or transfers growing their own thick beard, to help them stand out from an Imperial spies who might have infiltrated their ranks. (ROE, OWS)

Horliss-Horliss
This deity was known for giving organic beings the use of metastyle. When it discovered that Tilotny had "thrown a shape" and created a physical manifestation of herself, Horliss-Horliss did the same. It bacame a subtle, billowing mist. Horliss-Horliss had the power to create null inversions, as well as the ability to turn organic matter into solid material. He proves himself equal to Tilonty in this ability by solidifying Leia Organa's internal organs, leaving Splendid Ap to return her to normal. (CSWDW)

Horm
This was one of the most common given names used for human males throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Horm, Threkin
This native of the planet Fedalle was typical of his culture. He didn't care who was in control of the galaxy, as long as he and his people were taken care of. He vaguely supported Emperor Palpatine during the New Order, and similarly gave vague support to Mon Mothma after the establishment of the New Republic. He had many contacts within the industrial circles of the Core, which allowed him to maintain a powerful position among the New Republic's councillors. Horm's general attitude was to "go with the flow" of things, but he could be ruthless and overbearing when he wished. It was for this reason that he pressed Leia Organa to enter a marriage with Prince Isolder of Hapes, hoping to cement an allegiance for Alderaan as well as for the Republic. Horm was an obese man confined to a repulsorchair, and his thinning hair was kept meticulously curled. To signify his position, Horm wore a number of large, jewel-studded rings on his chubby fingers. Horm was also the president of the Alderaanian Council. As such, he was revered by the expatriots of Alderaan who survived the Galactic Civil War. Note that he was called Hrekin Thorm in Dark Apprentice. (TLC, DA, CPL, JASB, TG)

Hormack Range
This mountain range straddled the Lycinder Plain, on the planet Troiken. (SHW)

Horme, Treva
This Lutrillian female was the primary salesbeing and executive planner for Planet Dreams, Incorporated. An excellent marketer, Treva also monitored the business accounts and production schedules. Much of her notoriety came from her work with the Outer Javin Company, where she was able to work with high-profile clients such as TaggeCo and Lynciro Corporation. (CCG5)

Horn
This was one of the most common surnames found among the human population of Corellia. (GMR9)

Horn, Corran
This Corellian Jedi Master was a Captain at one time in Wedge Antilles' Rogue Squadron, and was a member of the Corellian Security Force before trying out for Rogue Squadron. He joined the CSF training academy as his father, Hal, had before him, and excelled in the training at a level above his father's. He worked with Iella Wessiri under Gil Bastra, and fell in with Bastra's anti-Imperial philosophy. During an undercover mission with his father, Corran's mother was fatally injured in an accident with a drunk driver. They rushed to the hospital, where she died after seeing them one last time.

With the appointment of Kirtan Loor as his superior, and with Hal's death at the hands of the Trandoshan bounty hunter Bossk, Corran knew that his future on Corellia was limited. Corran and Bastra created false smuggler ids for each other, the Wessiri's, and two other Alliance supporters, and then staged a scenario in which Corran killed them in cold blood. Corran claimed that he was only following the orders of Kirtan Loor, but Loor felt that Corran was trying to upstage him. When Corran defected to the Alliance, Loor put out an Imperial deathmark on Corran's head.

During one of his training simulations, Corran tried to change the basic set of maneuvers for the Requiem scenario, slowing to a near-stop to trying and draw the TIE Fighters, and TIE Bombers to him and away from the Redemption. He succeeded, making nine kills and surviving even Tycho Celchu, who was piloting a TIE Fighter. Corran later became one of Antilles' best pilots, taking on the hardest missions and surviving them. Corran kept his grandfather's JedCred on a chain around his neck, rubbing it for luck during these missions.

He was instrumental in the liberation of Borleias from the Empire, and went undercover to assist the New Republic in gaining information on Coruscant. However, while on the Coruscant mission, Corran's Z-95 Headhunter was brought down by remote control - presumably by Tycho Celchu - and crashed in the Invisible Sector of Coruscant's Imperial City. He was captured and brought to Ysanne Isard at Lusankya for interrogation. He proved to be incorrigible, and Isard consigned him to the rock mines. There, he met the prisoner Jan and devised an escape plan. Corran discovered that the gravity at Lusankya was reversed to keep the prisoners disoriented, and escaped to discover that Lusankya was buried beneath Imperial City.

After spending six weeks in the Lusankya facility, he arrived at Tycho's trial and proved Tycho innocent. He also relayed information on a hidden Jedi museum buried near Lusankya to Luke Skywalker, who found the museum in a hidden section of the Galactic Museum. Luke offered Corran the chance to become a Jedi Knight, but Corran refused. He opted to continue to serve with Rogue Squadron.

It was at about this time that Corran became romantically involved with Mirax Terrik, a situation whose irony was not lost on either of them. Corran's father, Hal, had been the one to send Booster Terrik to Kessel for smuggling. Mirax, though, held none of her father's enmity, and wasted no time in agreeing to marry Corran. After the Battle of Thyferra, they were married by Wedge Antilles aboard the Lusankya, in order to avoid any interference from Booster. A more elaborate ceremony was held on Coruscant upon their return. Corran remained with Rogue Squadron, and spent time battling Grand Admiral Thrawn and the reborn Emperor Palpatine's forces at Coruscant - the home he and Mirax build was one of the first victims of the falling Star DestroyerLiberator.

When the battle to eliminate the Invid pirates led Mirax into danger, Corran joined Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 and began to learn more about the Force. A rival of Gantoris, Corran was a slow but steady learner. However, after the defeat of Exar Kun and following a visit with his grandfather on Corellia, Corran realized that he didn't need to become a Jedi to find Mirax. He infiltrated the Khuiumin Survivors and joined the Invids, attracting the attention of Leonia Tavira. In order to scatter the Invids, he started portraying an "avenging Jedi" on Courkrus, killing Shala the Hutt before getting most of the Invids to flee. When he came under the attack of Tavira's Jensaarai warriors, though, he was rescued by Luke Skywalker and took off to rescue Mirax on Suarbi 7/5. They succeeded in rescuing here, then Corran used his ability with the Force to lead Tavira to believe she was under attack by the New Republic and the destroyed Sun Crusher. Tavira fled, and things slowly returned to normal.

Corran opted not to return to Yavin 4, a decision which Luke agreed to wholeheartedly. Luke did allow Corran one parting gesture, though: Corran destroyed Exar Kun's statue and temple on Yavin 4 with a volley of proton torpedoes, forever eliminating the focal point of Sith energy on the moon. After he resigned his commission with the New Republic and Rogue Squadron, Corran returned to Yavin 4 to complete his Jedi training, where he was known for his ability to project images into the minds of others.

By the time of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Corran had become a full Jedi Knight. Like his grandfather, Corran found that he had no ability to move objects through the Force, something that many considered a basic skill of a Jedi. He was one of the Jedi who felt Luke was doing his best to bring new Knights along slowly, although he often found himself in the minority. Corran was teamed up with Ganner Rhysode during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, and the pair struggled to agree on virtually everything. They eventually discovered a grudging respect for each other. When Corran and Ganner attempted to rescue the slaves they found on Bimmiel, Corran was mortally wounded by a Yuuzhan Vong amphistaff. Ganner returned to recover Corran's body, quickly dunking him in bacta and drawing the poison out so that Corran survived.

In the wake of the battle, Corran learned that the planet Garqi had been invaded, and that he had been called up to serve as a Colonel in their militia. This mission allowed him to scout out the Yuuzhan Vong actions on the planet, as well as forming a resistance group and planning for the evacuation of civilians if necessary. He was allowed to take a group of six Noghri with him, and they discovered that the pollen of the bafforr tree was deadly to vonduun crab armor. However, before the New Republic could take advantage of this, the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Ithor. The Yuuzhan Vong commander, Shedao Shai, also murdered Elegos A'Kla, and sent his bones back to Corran as a threat.

Corran and the rest of the Jedi were allowed to defend the planet from ground assault, and Corran eventually confronted Shedao Shai. They agreed to a duel: Corran fighting for Ithor and Shedao Shai for the remains of Mongei Shai. Corran barely managed to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong commander, but that defeat left Deign Lian in command of the alien fleet. Lian fired on Ithor with a bacteria-riddled bioweapon which destroyed all life on Ithor's surface. Then, the Legacy of Torment was destroyed, and it crashed into Ithor's surface. As the ship exploded and flames engulfed Ithor's surface, Corran was labeled in the news media as "the man who killed Ithor."

For his own part, Corran felt himself slipping dangerously close to the Dark Side of the Force, having wanted to kill Shedao Shai in revenge for Elegos A'Kla's death, rather than to protect Ithor. He resigned his position with the Jedi Knights in order to meditate on his actions and try to return to an equilibrium. Corran returned to action during the struggle to free the students of the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, helping to rescue the crew of the Idiot's Array. He was later reinstated to the New Republic Navy, and he took command of Rogue Squadron during the period following the Battle of Borleias. When the planet Zonama Sekot was discovered to be hiding in the Unknown Regions by Luke Skywalker and a band of Jedi, Corran was assigned to lead Tahiri Veila on a mission to meet with the Yu'shaa, the Yuuzhan Vong Prophet who was searching for Zonama Sekot himself. 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, Corran was one of several Jedi Knights were bonded to seed-partners and provided with Sekotan starships.

For his actions during the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, Corran was elevated to the rank of Jedi Master, and spent several years training a Padawan known as Raltharan. Corran used two-phase lightsaber that was capable of operating at two different lengths. In its standard mode, the lightsaber as a standard length, and blazed with a silver light. In its extended mode, the blade of the lightsaber turned to the color purple, and could be extended to a length of three meters. In the wake of the Qoribu Crisis, Corran found himself in an odd position when Luke Skywalker was stranded on Woteba. The Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance, Cal Omas, demanded that a leader be chosen for the new Jedi Order, in order to bring about an end to the problem of the Dark Nest. With Master Skywalker on a mission, Omas pushed for Corran to become the new leader of the Jedi Order. He refused, but the situation led him to question the current status of the Jedi order.

When Master Skywalker sent out his Force call to draw all Jedi to Ossus, during the height of the conflict with the Colony, Corran initially decided to leave the order. However, Skywalker managed to convince Corran that he no longer needed to carry the weight of the galaxy on his conscience, and Corran chose to remain a member of the Jedi order. He also reluctantly accepted Luke's assumption of the role of Grand Master of the Jedi, recognizing that the order would be lost without him.

After the crisis with the Colony was resolved, Corran and Mirax returned to Corellia, where he established a small training center for young students of the Force. Any peace he and Mirax would have enjoyed was cut short when Thrackan Sal-Solo began demanding Corellian independence from the Galactic Alliance. Corran's loyalty to the Jedi made him an outcast, and Mirax was placed under house arrest for her marriage to him. Rather than submit to arrest himself, Corran went underground, hiding in the rubble of his training center. He remained hidden until Iella Antilles made contact with him, hoping to enlist Corran's help in thwarting an assassination attempt on Wedge Antilles' life. Corran was more than happy to help, although he was forced to leave Corellia behind.

After a rendezvous on the Errant Venture with Han and Leia Solo and Luke and Mara Skywalker, Corran agreed to return to Coruscant and help the Jedi figure out what was happening the galaxy. He feared that Mirax would divorce him, since he forgot to give her a kiss before leaving his father-in-law's ship. In the wake of Mara Jade Skywalker's death on Kavan, Corran agreed to take over as the leader of the new Jedi Order, while Luke set out to locate her killer and avenge her death. He spent his time trying to get Master Skywalker back into power, and was pleased when Skywalker put plans in motion to finally act against Jacen Solo. Corran agreed to serve as Rakehell Five, flying a starfighter on a mission to disable Centerpoint Station, ensuring that Jacen could not use the station's repulsor as a weapon. The events of the Second Galactic Civil War put a great strain on his marriage, but Corran maintained a connection to Mirax, and they were reunited after the death of Darth Caedus. Mirax continued to manage the family businesses - both hers and those of her father, Booster - from their primary home on Corellia, but they purchased a resort property at the Kallad's Dream Vacation Hostel on Coruscant, where the entire family could gather for some quality time together. It was during one of these vacations, which coincided with Corran's participation in the Unification Summit, that Valin Horn began to experience strange symptoms that were quite similar to those that were experienced by Jacen Solo several years earlier. Valin seemed to think that everyone around him had been replaced by evil duplicates, and he used a technique that made his brain appear to be experiencing seizures in order to escape from detection within the Force.

When Valin threatened to run free in public, he was captured and later encased in carbonite the Galactic Alliance. The emotional strain of seeing their son incarcerated was hard for Corran and Mirax to bear, but was only compounded when Jysella experienced a similar kind of Force psychosis and was also encased in carbonite. An emergency meeting of the Jedi Council prompted Cilghal to request that the Horns submit themselves for a series of medical tests, but Corran immediately denied the request. He simply wanted to be alone with his wife, to comfort and console her after their children were sent away like criminals. Corran eventually relented, however, when Cilghal allowed him to return to Mirax and spend a few hours with her before reporting to the Jedi Temple's medical facilities. (XWN, WG, KT, BW, IJ, IR, DTO, DTR, EVC, DW, NEGC, FP, UF, DN2, DN3, LF1, LF4, LF5, LF7, FJ1, FJ2)

Horn, Hal
Corran Horn's father, Hal's given name was Valin Halcyon. After his father, Nejaa Halcyon, was killed in the Clone Wars, Rostek Horn married Nejaa's widow and erased all information on the Halcyon family. He hoped this would hide his new family from Emperor Palpatine, and the name Hal was used to honor to Nejaa Halcyon. Rostek kept a JedCred as a memoir of Nejaa Halcyon, and later gave it to Hal as a medallion. Hal was ten years old when Nejaa died. He was an excellent graduate of the Corellian Security Force Academy, and attended the Academy twenty years before his son. Hal Horn was the investigating officer who looked into Soontir Fel's disruption of Ilir Post's assault on Pamr, and was given the assignment to investigate the explosion on Gus Treta that killed Wedge Antilles' parents. Hal kept a watchful eye on Wedge, but declared him a hopeless fool when Wedge started running weapons for the Alliance. Hal later married a Corellian woman, and they had a son together, whom they named Corran. Corran grew up to follow in Hal's footsteps, also becoming a CorSec agent. When Corran matured, Hal presented him with the JedCred medallion, claiming it came from a friend of his father's who was a Jedi. As a team, they were quite effective. On one undercover mission, they learned that Hal's wife had been fatally injured by a drunk driver. They rushed to the hospital to see her, and she died shortly afterward. Several years later, Hal was killed on a mission with Corran, during which they flew separate ships to intercept a smuggling ship, and they met little resistance. However, the smuggler was also the target of the bounty hunter Bossk. Corran had become relaxed, and wasn't checking other sensors because the smuggler was in their sights. Bossk, under a valid Imperial warrant, was trying to target the smuggler, but shot Hal Horn instead in an cantina. Corran was poweless to stop it, and was forced to comfort Hal as he died. Corran held himself responsible for the death of his father for many years. (XWN, WG, KT, BW, IJ, MBF)

Horn, Jysella
This woman was the first daughter born to Corran Horn and Mirax Terrik. Known to her family as Sella, she was Valin Horn's younger sibling, having been born three years after her brother. Once she was old enough, Jysella decided to attend the Jedi praxeum and follow in her father's footsteps. Like many of the younger Jedi trainees of the time, Jysella was forced to train aboard the Errant Venture after the Yuuzhan Vong took control of Yavin 4. Jysella and Valin continued to train as Jedi, and became Knights during the years following the conflict with UnuThul and the Colony. She was as frustrated and concerned as her parents were when Valin suddenly refused to recognize them, and was later imprisoned for lashing out against the "traitors" and "dopplegangers" who had taken over his family's members. The family's despair was only worsened when Valin was encased in carbonite by the Galactic Alliance, in order to prevent him from causing any more troble. This made it all the more difficult for Corran and Mirax when Jysella herself fell victim to the same strange affliction, a kind of Force psychosis that manifested itself in different ways for different beings. Jysella was forced to fight her way out of the Jedi Temple, after Cilghal and Radd Minker realized that she was having trouble. She managed to get free of the Jedi by using a form of flow-walking that she had not learned on her own, but was apprehended by a squad of Galactic Alliance Security officers in a public area outside the Temple. Chief of State Natasi Daala refused to allow the Jedi Order to treat Jysella, and ordered her to be incarcerated in the same facility where Valin was being held. Cighal was surprised and upset that Jysella had manifested the ability to flow-walk, because it showed that the Jedi who were affected by the Force psychosis did not exhibit the same abilities. Much to the dismay of the Jedi Order, Jysella's carbonite-frozen form was stored at a Galactic Alliance Storage facility, where it was displayed alongside that of her brother, Valin, like trophies. (DTO, SWI57, SBS, LF1, FJ1, FJ2, FJ3)

Horn, Mirax Terrik
A native of the planet Corellia, Mirax was the daughter of Booster Terrik. As a young woman, she served as part of the crew of the Pulsar Skate. When the ship was intercepted by the Black Asp in the Chorax System, she assisted in the rescue of Corran Horn. When she discovered it was Corran she had rescued, however, she was not happy, since it had been Corran's father who had sent her own father to Kessel.

As a youth, she often stayed with the family of Wedge Antilles when her father was on a dangerous run. Later, when her father tried to help Wedge Antilles track down the pirates that were responsible for his parents' deaths, Wedge and Mirax became good friends, almost like a brother and sister.

When Booster was sent to the Spice Mines of Kessel, Mirax was not yet of legal age. However, that didn't stop her from taking over her father's businesses, using her own business sense to turn the operation into a profit-generating endeavor just slightly on the illegal side. Later, Mirax often helped the Alliance and the New Republic, by smuggling supplies and weapons to Alliance bases. She was an instrumental part of the plan to convoy bacta from Thyferra to Coruscant during the Krytos crisis, but was not part of the convoy when it was destroyed in the Alderaan System. Instead, she and Liat Tsayv had taken a sample of the bacta in the Pulsar Skate to Borleias for examination. The sample eventually made its way to Qlaern Hirf, who used it in the creation of rylca.

Mirax reappeared on Coruscant shortly after Tycho Celchu's trial was called off. During the time leading up to the Bacta War, Mirax became increaslingly in love with Corran, despite their familial differences. When Corran asked her to marry him, shortly before the Battle of Thyferra, she quickly agreed. They were married on the Lusankya by her old friend, Wedge Antilles, in the wake of the battle, in order to make sure that Booster didn't have his say. Then, they were married again in an elaborate ceremony on Coruscant.

While Corran continued to fly for Rogue Squadron, Mirax started her own import/export business, flying the Pulsar Skate and convincing people that they needed goods that weren't really necessary. During the Republic's struggle with Grand Admiral Thrawn, she used the business as a cover to fly supplies to, and rescue refugees from, worlds Thrawn had subjugated. When Leonia Tavira started her pirate raids, Mirax appealed to the New Republic to let her help catch the young woman, for it would help free Corran up to begin thinking about having a child. However, she was captured shortly after her mission began on Nal Hutta, when the Jensaarai were able to read her intentions. She was held on Suarbi 7/5 until rescued by Corran and Luke Skywalker.

In the following years, Corran and Mirax settled down to a somewhat normal life, raising two children while continuing to work as Jedi and smuggler. However, when Thrackan Sal-Solo made a bid for Corellian independence some ten years after the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, they found themselves in a precarious political position. Corran was Corellian, but he was also a loyal Jedi Master. Mirax was a smuggler whose skills were needed to keep supplies moving to Corellia, but she was married to a Jedi. To ensure her loyalty, Mirax was placed under house arrest, but was treated like a vacationing tourist to keep her happy. Corran remained loyal to the Jedi, and was forced into hiding to save his own life.

They agreed to come out of hiding in the wake of the failed assassination attempt on the life of the Hapan Queen Mother, Tenel Ka, when Wedge was forced out of his position as Supreme Commander and nearly killed. Mirax and Corran agreed to help Iella and Myri Antilles rescue Wedge and get him off-planet, a mission that was made easier when they were assisted by Lando Calrissian and Han and Leia Solo. The group fled to the Kuat System, where the met up with Booster Terrik and the Errant Venture. While Corran worked with the others, Mirax spent a great deal of time with her father, catching up on the events in his life while using his network of informants to learn more about what was going on behind the scenes of he Corellia-GA War. In the months that followed, Mirax remained with her father, managing a collection of businesses that spanned a broad spectrum, from trading and finance to recreation and smuggling. She eventually returned to the home she shared with Corran on Corellia, which required her to be separated from Corran for long periods of time.

Thus, in the wake of the Second Galactic Civil War, Mirax and Corran purchased a vacation home at the Kallad's Dream Vacation Hostel on Coruscant, and spent as much time there with their children and family as possible. One of their vacations was cut short when Valin Horn suddenly came to believe that his parents had been replaced by imposters, and fled into the Coruscant streets. Valin was eventually captured, but his actions prompted the Galactic Alliance government to take legal actions against the Jedi Order. After Valin escaped from the Jedi Temple, he was taken into custody and frozen in carbonite at the Armand Isard Correctional Facility, until a cure or a diagnostic technique could be found to help him. Mirax and Corran were both stunned and confused by these events, but found themselves helpless to fight back against the government. Thus, when Jaina Solo asked Mirax to join the Darkmeld unit in an attempt to capture Seff Hellin, Mirax quickly agreed. It was Mirax and Jaina who eventually caught Hellin and brought him to the Jedi Temple, where they hoped Jedi Master Cilghal would be able to learn more about what was happening to Valin. This period of relative hope lasted just a few weeks, until their daughter, Jysella, began experiencing the same strange symptoms that Valin had shown. (XWN, KT, BW, IJ, IR, LF1, LF4, FJ1)

Horn, Nyche
This Corellian woman married Hal Horn, and was Corran Horn's mother. (TFNR)

Horn, Rostek
Corran Horn's adopted grandfather, Rostek was also a member of the Corellian Security Force and a contemporary of Fliry Vorru. He was good friend's with Corran's real grandfather, Nejaa Halcyon, and took care of his family after Halcyon's death. Rostek used his position within CorSec to eliminate all traces of the Halcyon family, hoping to hide Nejaa's widow and young son from Palpatine's Jedi purge. Rostek eventually married Nejaa's widow, and cared for her son Valin, whom they renamed Hal in honor of Nejaa Halcyon. Rostek lived to a ripe old age, but was held on Corellia by the will of the Diktat, even after the Battle of Endor. In his spare time, Rostek was known in several circles as the producer of some of Corellia's most beautiful flowers, hybrids he created in his private greenhouse. When the Diktat modified the Corellian Security Force into the Public Safety Service, he burned down Rostek's house - as well as Hal Horn's - hoping to eliminate the files Rostek had kept on public officials and other influential people. Rostek, however, had maintained several copies, and they began showing up in the mail of these officials, marked with one of the beautiful hybrid blossoms. In return for his continued silence, Rostek was awarded a grand new residence on the site of his old one. The PSS maintained watches on Rostek, and even tried to infiltrate his staff. Much had been made about Rostek's use of blossoms when sending his messages, and leaders debated the relative meanings of a live flower versus and cut specimen. In reality, Rostek had been using the redundant genes in the flowers' DNA to encode information about the Halcyon heritage, in hopes that Corran or Hal would return and claim it. (KT, TFE, BW, IJ)

Horn, Valin
This was the name given to the first son of Corran Horn and Mirax Terrik. Valin was born about four years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. He was named for his grandfather, Valin Halcyon. Like his father, Valin was Force-sensitive, and eventually attended the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 for training. By the time he was eleven, Valin found that he had an affinity with animals, and could use the Force to commune with this. However, like his father and grandfather, Valin had almost no skills in telekinesis. Valin was trapped on Yavin 4 when the Peace Brigade blockaded the system in an effort to capture the Jedi students and turn them over to the Yuuzhan Vong. Valin, with Sannah and Kam Solusar, managed to survive until Anakin Skywalker could rescue them. Like many of the younger Jedi trainees, Valin was forced to train aboard the Errant Venture after the Yuuzhan Vong took control of Yavin 4. Valin and his sister, Jysella, continued to train as Jedi, and became Knights during the years following the conflict with UnuThul and the Colony.

During the height of the Galactic Alliance's war with The Confederation, Valin was chosen to be part of a Jedi team that was to infiltrate Coruscant and capture or eliminate Jacen Solo. Valin and Jedi Master Kyle Katarn confronted Jacen, at first alone, and it took just seconds for Solo to lash out with a kick that caught Valin in the chin and knocked him briefly unconscious. Valin recovered just as Solo drove his lightsaber into Master Katarn's chest, and he rushed Solo alongside Kolir Hu'lya and Thann Mithric. However, the three Jedi Knights were no match for Solo's control of the Dark Side of the Force. After Mithric was killed while trying to hold Solo off, the surviving Jedi managed to escape when Seha Dorvald arrived to help them weave their way through the underground tunnels to a waiting shuttle.

After a brief respite at the temporary Jedi base on the Forest Moon of Endor, Valin accompanied Kyp Durron on a mission to infiltrate Centerpoint Station and eliminate it as a weapon that could be used by Darth Caedus. In the wake of the Second Galactic Civil War, Valin remained a part of the new Jedi Order, but spent as much time as he could with his family. It was during one of their retreats to the Kallad's Dream Vacation Hostel on Coruscant, during the weeks leading up to the Unification Summit, that Valin began to experience strange moments where everything seemed different. He regained consciousness as if waking from a deep sleep, but could not recognize any members of his family. To his mind, the people who seemed to be his parents were nothing more than imposters who were trying to kill him. He attacked his father, believing the man to be his enemy, then fled their resort and headed out into the streets. Corran and Mirax chased him down and brought Valin back to the Jedi Temple, where he was scanned by Jedi Master Cilghal. Unfortunately, the Mon Calamari could find nothing physically wrong with Valin. However, in the trance-like state he soon fell into, Valin's brain scans revealed absolutely no activity, as if his brain were simply dead. This prevented Cilghal and other Jedi from using the Force to read his mind, and gave them reason to worry, because the only other Jedi who had been able to do the same thing was Jacen Solo.

However, despite what the medical equipment said about his condition, Valin was quite aware of his surroundings. His consciousness was locked away in a secret place, and he was able to use the Force to communicate with the insects around him, asking them to chew away at his bindings until he could break free. Valin was forced to knock an apprentice healer named Romor unconscious during his escape, and he fled into the night, hoping to reach the Senate Rotunda in time for the opening stages of he Unification Summit. He assaulted Enneth Holkin and stole the man's clothing, hoping to blend into the crowd. However, he discovered that he was being followed by Jedi Master Octa Ramis and her apprentice, Seha Dorvald, and he stole an X-Wing fighter in an attempt to escape. Master Ramis jumped on the ship and used her lightsaber to breach the cockpit, but Valin was able to shake her off the fuselage and make his way into the atmosphere. However, he could not travel into space with the hole in the cockpit, so he ejected from the fighter and made his way back to Coruscant's surface. There, he managed to commandeer a Galaxy 9 News speeder, and the reporter inside allowed him to remain in the speeder in the hopes of getting the scoop on his side of the story. Jaina Solo managed to locate him, and brought the news speeder down with a careful shot.

Once on the ground, Valin was apprehended by Grand Master Luke Skywalker, and he was once again placed under the watchful eye of Cilghal. It was Cilghal who realized, from her knowledge of the former Jedi Order, that Valin's symptoms were similar to something she had read in the memoirs of Jedi Master Plo Koon. Master Koon spoke of a technique that allowed the Dor to resist an electroencephaloscan, a technique that made it appear as if they were brain dead, and this knowledge gave Master Skywalker reason to visit the planet Dorin as the first stop in his travels. The Jedi continued to keep an eye on Valin until the justices of the Galactic Courts of Justice rescinded the Guilty by Association rider, prompting the Galactic Alliance to "retaliate" by taking Valin into governmental custody. As he was taken away by Galactic Alliance Security forces, Valin railed against everyone, openly questioning how the real Jedi had been all replaced with dopplegangers, and demanding that his real parents be returned unharmed. Although Judge Zudan ruled that Valin was incompetent of standing trial for his actions, she ordered that he be encased in carbonite until such time as a cure could be found for his unusual condition.

Much to the dismay of the Jedi Order, Valin's carbonite-frozen form was stored at a Galactic Alliance Storage facility, where it was displayed alongside that of Valin's sister, Jysella, like trophies. (SOP, DTO, EVC, LF1, LF7, FJ1, FJ3)

Once the true identity of Remulus Horne was exposed, the concert was pulled from the HoloNet. (KORH)

Horned Kath Hound
This was one of two species of kath hounds that were native to the planet Dantooine. The horned kath hound was considered more dangerous and aggressive than their hornless cousins, the mundane kath hound.

This planet was the site of a major Imperial HoloNet relay station, in the decades following the Battle of Endor. (VOF)

Horst
This Imperial Major was stationed at the laboratory on Danuta, during the months prior to the Battle of Yavin. Major Horst was on watch duty when Kyle Katarn infiltrated the labs, and believed that the only threat to the installation was a perimeter attack.

Horuz System
This star system contained the planet Despayre, which served as the construction site for the first Death Star. This system was found in the Atrivis Sector of the galaxy, in the Outer Rim Territories. Aside from Despayre, most of the bodies in the Horuz System were extensively mined for ores and other natural resources. Comets and asteroids were the primary targets for mining, and most of these bodies were completely stripped and broken down in the twenty years it took to complete construction. (E4R, MTS, DS, DSTR)

Horvat
This gruff Rodian served as one of Guldus Bemm's henchmen, and was one of his majordomos within the Canyon Mining Facility heirarchy. When Bemm contacted Luke Skywalker with a false story about strange crystals found in several caverns, the pirates hoped to capture Skywalker and turn him over to Advisor Bregius Golthan, thereby ensuring the colony's survival. Horvat led a group of New Republic operatives to the site for further investigation. What they discovered was a double-cross, and the cavern was actually filled with Imperial AT-STs. (SWJ8)

Horvik
This member of the Vengeance group was the second team sent to disrupt activity in Drev'starn, to cover the work of Navett and Klif in taking out the city's shield generator. Horvic and Pensin posed as the night clean-up crew at a Ho-Din cafe near the generator site. He later assisted them in digging out a tunnel to gain access to the power generators of the shields. Once Navett was in place and ready to take out the shield generator, Horvik accompanied Klif anfd Pensin on a sabotage mission. Disguised as New Republic technicians, they managed to get aboard the Predominance and make their way to a turbolaser battery. They killed their escort and managed to get eight shots off at the city of Drev'starn before begin discovered and neutralized. (VOF)

Hosk Station
An Alderaan Royal Engineers Esseles-class space station located in orbit around Kalarba, it was built across the surface of Kalarba's largest moon, Hosk. The station was originally designed to be an Old Republic supply and maintenance post, a role which it served for thousands of years. The expansion of the galaxy brought more and more colonists to the surrounding systems, and suddenly Hosk Station was no longer as important as it used to be. The station was sold to civilian interests on the planet Kalarba. The station was nearly destroyed by Olag Greck when a droid barge delivered C-3PO, R2-D2, and IG-88 to the station. C-3PO and R2-D2 had been put up for auction by their previous owner, Master Wena, and were being shipped to Hosk for assignment. IG-88 escaped, and C-3PO and R2-D2 were jettisoned to the planet Kalarba, where they were acquired by the Pitareeze family. C-3PO and R2-D2 returned to the station with Nak and his grandfather, and were left to join a group of renegade droids who were ready to rebel against Olag Greck's war droids and their control over them. Under the careful command of Unit Zed, the droids were able to defeat Greck's various war droids and foil Greck's attempt to steal a load of ash ore. In the process, they also were able to reroute an explosion rigged by Greck to blow up the stations' power core. Many years later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Hosk Station was destroyed shortly after the Battle of Fondor, as the Vong attempted to eliminate all non-organic technologies. The alien invaders used the tactic known as Yo'gand's Core to smash the station into the surface of Kalarba. (DRO, EGV, BP, NECH)

Hostility Index
This Imperial measurement scale attempted to describe the relative hostility of a captive or prisoner. A higher rating meant that a prisoner was more apt to lash out at their captors, and therefore required more guards to oversee their incarceration. (XWN)

Hoszh Iszhir
This planet was noted its arid and poisonous environment. Half the planet's surface was covered with desert. The other half of the planet was blanketed by a toxic atmosphere, making the entire world quite inhosptiable. However, despite this combination, life managed to evolve on the planet. Most creatures evolved into predators, with each species struggling to stay alive. From these creatures emerged the planet's only form of sentient life, the Gektls.

The planet was known for its abundant natural resources, which included rich lodes of guerrerite and other precious metals. For this reason, the Gektls established a planetary defense shield to protect the planet from invasion. This system worked well for many generations, until Stafuv Rahz traded the shield codes to the Empire for a military commission. The Empire swooped in an subjugated the Gektls, then took control of the planet's mining operations. The Gektls were forced into slavery, toiling in the mines while the Empire reaped the profits. (OWS)

Hot Bespin
This was a variation on the standard layout of the game called shronker. In this variation, a gas giant that resembled Bespin was placed in an orbit that was very close to the star at the center of the playing field. In this orbital position, the "hot" Bespin moved swiftly around the star, and was more difficult to strike than a "cold" Bespin that orbited far out from the star. (CN1)

Hot Chocolate
This beverage was pretty much what it sounded like. Lando Calrissian favored it on calm nights, and got Luke Skywalker to start drinking it shortly after the Battle of Endor. After the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, hot chocolate became a rare treat, because seven of the eight worlds on which it was produced were damaged or destroyed during the fighting. (HTTE, DN1)

Hot Prospect
This ancient mining vessel was based out of the planet Calipsa, during the final stages of the Mandalorian Wars. The Hot Prospect appeared to be a huge conglomeration of parts, with heavy-duty cranes and platforms sprouting from its hull at various points. Three huge engines powered the ship, while the foreward sections were studded with mining implements of colossal size. The ship's sudden appearance at the Metellos Exchange, some 3,963 years before the Battle of Yavin, caused all sorts of trouble for the beings who operated the trading post. The ship's Captain, an Arkania woman named Brackel, arrived at the auction house with a being she claimed was a native of Italbos, a planet that had been auctioned off months earlier. In reality, Jarael was posing as Captain Brackel, and Rohlan Dyre was posing as the alien. Despite its Tapani Sector registry, the Hot Prospect was barely space-worthy, and the few mynocks that had managed to get inside the ship quickly died while chewing on its rusted innards. The ship had been acquired weeks earlier by Slyssk, who fell for a saleswoman's pitch and purchased it without a moment's hesitation. The fact that the ship was once part of a gem mining operation gave Marn Hierogryph the idea to scam the Metellos Exchange, since the ship's history was known to the beings who purchased mining rights at the Bourse. (KOR11)

Hot Springs
Located on Carosi XII, this beautiful crystalline cave system was home to several naturally-warmed pools of mineral-laced water. (PG2)

Hot Staggering Glurd

When Kelna tried to get rid of the Radiant Splendor and the Corellian sand panther he found in its holds, a group of freelance operatives managed to thwart his plans. After the operatives recaptured the sand panther and secured the Radiant Splendor, they jettisoned Kelna and took the Hot Streak for their own ship, leaving the Duros with just the clothes on his back. (WOA35)

Hot Wash-up

Ho-tah
This Huttese term was used to describe a foolish being. (E1A14)

Hot-bedding
This military term was used to describe the practice of having two or three crewmen sharing the same bunk. Usually done on overcrowded ships, hot-bedding forced crewmen to sleep in rotations, so that the bed was always in use by a different being. While sometimes expedient in combat situations, over the long-term hot-bedding could leading to discomfort and general loss of morale among the troops. (DARK)

Hotbox
This was a slang term used by independent spacers to describe any chest or container that held a starship's emergency equipment, such as medpacs, vacuum suits, and fire extinguishers. Many spacers also maintained a separate medkit, for more grievous injuries. (SWJ4, OWS)

Hoth
This blue star was the central body in the Hoth System, located on the Ison Corridor of the Anoat Sector of the galaxy. Note that the young adult novelization of Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back indicates that Hoth was a blue-white star. (PH, WOA33, E5Y)

Hoth
This was Winter Celchu's secret callsign, when she served as a member of the Darkmeld unit, during the years that followed the Second Galactic Civil War. (FJ1)

Hoth
This Jedi Master was the leader of the Army of Light, sent to Ruusan to defeat Lord Kaan and the Brotherhood of Darkness. Well-known as a master strategist and motivator, Lord Hoth had managed to defeat Sith opponents several times before his assignment on Ruusan, always seeming to score last-minute victories against all odds. His status as a hero of the Republic was only heightened by continued HoloNet reports of his exploits. However, the fighting on Ruusan went on for two full years, leading many to question wheterh or not Lord Hoth continued to fight for peace, or whether the battle had become an obsession. Hoth refuted this latter claim, but could find no way to end the fighting. His continual struggle to win the war was often criticized by Master Valenthyne Farfalla, which rankled Hoth until his good friend, Master Pernicar, stepped in to mediate their debates. The contention between Hoth and Farfalla came to a head when Farfalla offered to leave Ruusan and recruit more soldiers, despite the presence of a Sith blockade in orbit around the planet. Hoth laughed at him, believing that no one would be foolish enough to join the ongoing battle. He let Farfalla go, however, and was forced to enter the next wave of fighting without his forces. Pernicar was killed in the fighting, but later appeared to Hoth in a dream. The ever-tactful Pernicar implored Hoth to see Farfalla's side of things, and to trust that Farfalla would return. Hoth resolved to fight until he could rejoin Farfalla, but feared that the blockade would prove too strong. In a strange twist of fate, the Jedi were allowed to unite forces when Darth Bane set in motion his own plans to destroy the Brotherhood of Darkness. Farfalla was able to break through the blockade and land his troops, and the combined Jedi forces began to turn the tide. After Farfalla returned from the fighting with a warning about Lord Kaan's plans to set off a thought bomb, Lord Hoth realized that the end of the fighting on Ruusan was imminent. He knew that he had to ensure Kaan set off the bomb, but wanted as much of the Jedi force away from the blast zone as possible. Thus, he accepted only volunteers for a mission to confine the Sith, while ordering Farfalla to take the remaining troops to safety. Lord Hoth then confronted Lord Kaan, but was unable to persuade the Sith to stand down. Hoth and his 100 soldiers, along with the entire gathering of Sith Lords, were killed when the thought bomb exploded and obliterated both armies. (ECH, DBPD)

Hoth
This snow planet was the sixth planet in the Hoth system, located along the Ison Corridor in the galaxy's Anoat Sector, some 50,250 light-years from the galactic core. It orbited a distant, blue-white star, and had three natural satellites. Just outside the orbit of Hoth was a huge asteroid belt, which many believed to be the result of the collision of two planets eons ago. The treacherous belt of asteroids maked any approach to the planet very hazardous. Its remote location made it the perfect site for an Alliance base three years after the Battle of Yavin. Many smaller asteroids got pulled in by Hoth's gravity, and rained down on the planet as meteors. The planet's normal daytime temperature was some thirty-degrees below zero, and its high-velocity wind and snow storms made it extremely inhospitable. Hoth had a fair amount of seismic activity, with underice "oceans" in the southern hemisphere and the tidal pull of three moons. This activity was constantly changing the various ice formations and creating vast, natural ice caves and tunnels. It was for these reasons that Alliance Major Kem Monnon chose it for Echo Base. Its harsh, frozen climate gave rise to only two major lifeforms, the Wampa ice creature and the tauntaun. Small rodents, wirelike ice worms, and hardy lichens completed the planet's minimal foodchain. Note that Marvel Comics' Star Wars issue 78, indicates that Hoth had more than one sun at the center of its system. (E5, ISU, GG2, MC78, WOA33, IWST)

Hoth Asteroid Field
see Hoth Belt (WOA34)

Hoth Belt
This immense asteroid field was located on the outer edge of the Hoth System, just beyond the orbit of the planet Hoth. Because of its size, both in physical dimensions and number of asteroids, the Hoth Belt was one of the most treacherous asteroid belts to maneuver through. (PH)

Hoth Chocolate
This smooth, warm beverage became one of the many drinks that were traditionally imbibed by non-Wookiees who celebrated Life Day each year. It was believed that Hoth Chocolate gave the drinker a short-term boost in their activity level, although there was no scientific explanation for it. (SWGAL)

Hoth's Brand
This star was the central body of the Hoth's Brand System, located in the Teraab Sector of the Colonies Region, but it was not the only star in the system. The white dwarf known as Petja had been captured by the gravity of Hoth's Brand, and orbited the star outside the paths of the nine planets that made up its system. (SWMW)

Hoth's Brand System
Located in the Teraab Sector of the Colonies Region, the Hoth's Brand System was sometimes referred to as the Ruusan System, since the primary world in the system was the planet Ruusan. Although there were actually two stars in this system, Only one star was located at its center. Hoth's Brand was the primary star, around which all other bodies orbited. The white dwarf known as Petja had been captured by the gravity of Hoth's Brand, but orbited the star outside the paths of the nine planets that made up the system. (SWMW)

Hotise
This elderly man served as a Commander in the Imperial Navy, overseeing the missions of the medical frigate Medstar Four, during the early years of the New Order.

More often than not, however, a hotshot was accidentally discharged when it was carried in a waistband or arm holster. (TFE)

Hot-vape
Fighter pilot slang for being ambushed. (IJ)

Houche
This planet was located just outside the Moddell Sector of the galaxy, on the fringes of Wild Space and the Unknown Regions. (GMR9)

Houjix
This ferocious-looking beast was native to the planet Kinyen, but it was really a gentle, loyal beast that was often domesticated by the Gran. The houjix was a blue- and yellow-striped quadriped with large teeth, a spiked, club-like tail, and two feet on each of the front two legs. Chewbacca had a holographic representation of a houjix on his holochess board on the Millennium Falcon. (CCG2)

Houjix Cheese
This fragrant, semi-dry cheese was produced from the milk of the houjix. This cheese was often crumbled and used into salads and several open-faced dishes. (OWS)

Houk
An extremely large, humanoid race originally from the Ansuroer Sector, the Houk spread throughout the galaxy following their first contact with a Vaathkree trading ship. Their skin was colored deep blue or purple, and their eyes were a piercing yellow. They were considered second in the galaxy in brute strength only to the Wookiee race, but they did not display the violent rage of the Wookiee. However, they did have short tempers, and preferred fighting to any other solution to a problem. The Houk generally used any method possible to gain an advantage over their opponents, including sneaking up on them and attacking from behind. Thus, many other races considered them cowards. The Houk which settled on the planet Sriluur were often at war with their neighbors, the Weequay, until the Empire stepped in and subjugated both races. The Empire planned to use the Houk race as a basis for creating the "perfect slave," but it was unknown if their program was successful. During their history, the Houk race produced few technological advancements, but adapted well to the use of hyperdrives and modern weapons. (HSL, GG12, SWJ6, CRO)

Houk Territories
This was the collective term used to describe the lands on the planet Sriluur that had been settled by Houk colonists from Lijuter. The Houks arrived some 250 years before the Battle of Naboo, and initially settled in the Lesser Cueva Expanse. This equatorial region formed the majority of the Houk Territories, which the Weequay kept under implicit martial law durnig the height of the New Order. (GORW)

Hound of Worlds, The
This was one of the many nicknames used to describe Jedi Master Sharad Hett, because he was known as a fearless and dedicated being who took on the challenges of bringing justice to some of the galaxy's worst locations. (EGF)

Hound the Hawk-Bat
This was a spirited children's game, popular during the height of the New Order. (EGD)

Hound's Tooth
This was the name of Bossk's modified YV-666 starship. It was purchased by the Trandoshan bounty hunter after his previous ship was destroyed on Gandolo IV. Bossk had it highly modified from its origins as a light freighter, including shields and weapons upgrades that included a quad-laser cannon and a concussion missile launcher. Many of these modifications were done by Kuat Drive Yards, which installed a fail-safe code into the computer systems. Much of the ship was rebuilt to accomodate the Trandoshan physiology, and Bossk had a specialized set of controls added to allow him to simply rest his arms in a pair of troughs and control the ship via movements of his body. The Hound's Tooth was also one of the few ships that was capable of changing course while in hyperspace. Bossk also added an X10-D droid brain to control shipboard systems. This brain responded to verbal commands, which allowed Bossk to have access to ship's systems from anywhere on the ship. Note that while the Star Wars: Customizable Card Game: Dagobah says that X10-D was the computer system, Tales of the Bounty Hunters indicates that X10-D was a huge service droid used by Bossk to move cargo. The droid X10-D had no built-in computer, but took commands from the Hound's Tooth. Bossk also kept the Nashtah Pup hidden in one of the holds for emergency use. The Hound's Tooth was a tempermental ship, as the main computer worked to control every on-board system while reacting to Bossk's verbal commands. When Bossk allowed Chenlambec and Tinian I'att to pilot the ship, they introduced the ship's computer to Flirt. Flirt eventually insinuated herself into the computer core, and showed it that Bossk was willing to sacrifice the ship in order to keep Chen's pelt intact. The computer rebelled, locking out Bossk from making any verbal commands while keeping the Trandoshan locked in a freezer-locker. After delivering Bossk to Imperial Governor Io Desnand, Chen and Tinian took control of the Hound for themselves. The Trandoshan eventually recovered his ship, and used it on many hunts until he became entangled with Boba Fett, during the other hunter's search of Kuat of Kuat. When Bossk tried to steal the Slave I, drifting above Tatooine after Fett was consumed by the Sarlacc, he was shocked to discover that Fett was still alive. He had loaded the computer system of a mock-up of Slave I to send out a false self-destruct alarm if someone boarded the ship, and Bossk fell for the bait. He fled the scene in an escape pod, and Boba Fett took control of the Hound's Tooth. He then traveled to the remains of Kud'ar Mub'at's web to find answers, but was fired upon by Balancesheet. The ship was nearly destroyed, but was repaired and used by Dengar and Neelah to draw off Kodir of Kuhlvult's forces. It was eventually captured by the Kuati nobles in the Oranessan System, who used the fail-safe code to shut her down, and and left to drift. Fett and Dengar managed to restart it and return to Kuat, where they finally put all the pieces of the puzzle together. (MTS, EGV, CCG4, TBH, MA, SLS, HM, GMR7, UA)

Hound-W2
This was Industrial Automaton's SPD-series droid. It was a box-like machine that rolls on treads. Rectractable arms allow it to extend sensors that pick up the trail of many kinds of security breaches. The Hound was equipped with a pulse scan emitter, a laser scan emitter, audio and visual receptors, and a variety of sensor systems. A pair of fine grasper arms allowed the Hound to manipulate simple objects, and four fifteen-meter-long extensor arms allowed it to reach into the most inaccessible nooks and crannies. Like an R-series astromech, the Hound communicated in a series of chirps and whistles known as DroidSpeak. (TTSB, EGD)

House AlGray
This Hapan family lived in several estates on the Relephon Moons. Because of the fact that they controlled several worlds, House AlGray owned a dozen Hapan Battle Dragons. Thus, despite their relatively small holdings, they were a major military power in the Hapes Consortium. (LF3)

House Andrim
This was one of the wealthiest of the Kuati merchant families, during the height of the New Order. The family also owned a complete shipyard which was part of the Kuat Drive Yards facility. (CCW)

House Barnaba
This was one of the four lesser Houses of Tapani Sector, known for was hedonistic approach to life. Families within House Barnaba never really wanted to become dominant, and developed great skill at playing one House against another, while ensuring that Barnaba came out ahead in the end. During the height of the New Order, House Barnaba found itself aligned with House Melantha, and working closer with House Cadriaan. (PGT)

House Benelex
This was the governing body of the Benelex Bounty Hunters Guild. It was led by Corvastan Benelex, and was one of the primary members of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, during the height of the New Order. (GG10, SWI89)

House Cadriaan
One of the three greater Houses of Tapani Sector, House Cadriaan was known for its openmindedness and its skills in the mercantile trades. Its capital was on Procopia, and only during the height of the New Order did this House begin to assert its power. Members of House Cadriaan held themselves to a higher standard than most other Houses, resorting to spying and underhanded tactics only when absolutely necessary to preserve the House. The House's provinces lie along the Shapani Bypass, and the internal military of House Cadriaan was quickly augmented to preserve its hold on the sector's greatest properties. (PGT)

House Calipsa
This was one of the lesser Houses of Tapani Sector, and was considered to be the most conservative of the seven Houses. Calipsa chose to ally itself with the dominant House of the time, using this position to avoid negotiation. Members of House Calipsa were known for their short tempers and lack of patience. Despite its shortcomings, House Calipsa maintained the second-largest number of holdings in Tapani Sector, second only to House Mecetti. (PGT)

House Deponn
This minor Kuati house attempted to win the favor of the Empire by taking credit for the prototype weapons systems which were deployed on the Star Destroyers Burning Vengeance and Legacy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. An agent of House Deponn intercepted and killed an agent of House Andrim, stealing the results of the weapons tests in the hopes of proving to the Empire that they were the original builders. The House Deponn agent was eventually apprehended by a group of freelance merceanries hired by House Andrim, dashing the Dpeonn plans for prestige. (CCW)

House Elegin
An ancient ruling House that held Senatorial representation to the Old Republic. (COJ)

House Fardor

House Galney
This Hapan royal family lived in a vast estate on Terephon. (LF3)

House Guard
This was the private security force which protected the various nobles of Tapani Sector during the height of the New Order. The House Guard was formed because the Empire couldn't patrol the entire sector and maintain the security of individual Houses. Each House had its own Guard, and the Home Guards were the only military group allowed to travel outside a House's provincial holdings. (PGT)

House Harbright
One of the aristocratic ruling houses of the planet Salliche, House Harbright was a strong supporter of the Old Republic. (SWJ3)

House Hirskaala
This was one of the many trading houses that made up the economy of the planet Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. Hirskaala appeared on Cularin shortly after the Battle of Naboo, and quickly became one of the larger trading concerns on the planet. The operations of House Hirskaala were targetted by agents of the Metatheran Cartel, in an effort to undermine Hirskaala's activities while the Cartel gained a foothold in the Cularin System. (EOS1)

House Juonii
This was one of the most powerful of the ancient families that ruled the planet Kaikielius, during the years leading up to the formation of the Galactic Republic. The Juonii family was a rival of House Praji during this time, serving with the Praji family and House Vahalii as part of the Triad that controlled the planet. The members of House Juonii were supporters of galactic expansion, and made inroads on the planet Alsakan. However, during the early stages of the First Alsakan Conflict, House Juonii sided with Alsakan, and was decimated in the fighting. Many of the planets that the Juonii family had colonized were reduced to rubble during the fighting, which went on for decades. House Juonii was relegated to lesser status after its leaders were sent to the Centax-1 Maximum Correctional facility for siding with Alsakan, and the surviving members of the family eventually fled their ancestral lands on Kaikielius, leaving Houses Praji and Vahalii to assume exclusive control of Kaikielius' government. (OWS)

House Mecetti
This was one of the greater Houses of Tapani Sector, and dominated the Great Council during the modern era of the galaxy. Nothing mattered more to the nobles of House Mecetti than acquiring and keeping power, and the end always justified the means. Mecetti controlled fourteen distinct star systems in Tapani Sector, as well as its own personal army and navy, known as the Mecetti House Guard. Often, the House mentality forced House Mecetti to act against the better good of Tapani Sector, but that mattered little in the grander scheme. Its reputation among the Houses was that of ruthlessness and vindictive reprisal, and it continued to gain power in Tapani Sector by setting the other Houses against each other and cleaning up later. House Mecetti was most infamously known for its support and alliance with the Mecrosa Order, many millennia before the Battle of Yavin. Mecetti controlled fourteen different star systems in Tapani Sector, giving it the largest number of holdings of all the seven Houses. Mecetti even tried to eliminate all the heirs of its rival Houses during the Mecetti Purge, some twenty years before the Battle of Hoth. The rise of Emperor Palpatine helped deflect attention from Tapani Sector, and House Mecetti virtually destroyed House Pelagia before being retrained. Only the timely efforts of the nobles in each House, as well as the appearance of the Empire in Tapani Sector, maintained strong enough bloodlines to thwart Mecetti's efforts. (PGT, TSIA, LOE)

House Melantha
This was one of the original twelve ruling Houses of Tapani Sector, and was one of the Sector's greater Houses. It was most famous because it produced Shey Tapani, and his descendants believed that they were the rightful rulers of the sector. House Melantha maintained a great number of contacts on the planet Coruscant, buth during the Old Republic and the New Order, giving it the political clout it needed to rise to power. Members of this House were considered to be arrogant and obnoxious by their peers in other Houses. Despite its powerful standing, House Melantha had rarely been the dominant House in the Great Council, always sitting behind House Pelagia or House Mecetti. Melantha tried to gain power during the fall of the Old Republic, openly supporting Emperor Palpatine and providing its members to the Emperor's court. There were rumors that an Imperial Dark Side Adept was the real power behind House Melantha during the New Order, but these rumors were never proven. (PGT)

House of Zelor
This noble family served the House of Lorac for many years, until King Lorac and Queen Deinra were assassinated by a mob during the early years of the New Order. Then, Regent Zelor tried to take over the throne of Velmor for himself and the House of Zelor, by trying to cover up evidence that Prince Denid had survived. Denid managed to persevere, however, and Zelor was eventually killed. (WOTC)

During the height of the New Order, House Paramexor was one of the newer members of the Bounty Hunters' Guild. (GG10, SWI89)

House Pelagia
This was one of the lesser ruling Houses of Tapani Sector, despite the fact that it traced it roots to the original colonists who settled on Pelagon more than 13,000 years ago. Pelagia was best known for being recruited by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic, eventually establishing a bloodline which was strong with the Force. Members of House Pelagia held honor and dignity in a higher regard than most other Houses, a position which led them to turn to other methods of gaining power. House Pelagia was considered one of the most adept at twisting the truth to their own ends, promising much less than they actually seem to. During the early years of Tapani Sector's history, House Pelagia was the most powerful of all the seven Houses. Their ties to the Jedi Knights only furthered their position in the Great Council. House Pelagia maintained a large collection of holocrons, and it was believed that the collection included King Adas's Holocron, until it was stolen during the years following the Clone Wars. With the rise to power of Emperor Palpatine, many of the other Houses dropped their support of Pelagia and turned to House Melantha or House Mecetti. House Pelagia's position floundered to the point that it was deemed a lesser House, having lost more than seventy percent of its representation on the Great Council. The House survived, though, and began taking steps to regains its former strength. (PGT, EGF)

House Praji
Originally native to the planet Kaikielius, this wealthy and influential family was one of the major shareholders in the Bank of the Core, during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was believed that the Praji family was one of many that provided genetic materials for the development of Imperial stormtroopers, during the height of the New Order. The history of the Praji family could be traced back to the Founding Parents, making them one of the galaxy's oldest and most revered families. The Praji family moved its base of operations to Coruscant in the wake of the Great Hyperspace War, after Kaikielius was relegated to minor status, and the planet suffered a long period of economic and social decay. The family was forced to sell off its holdings at cut-rate prices, and House Praji was, for all intents and purposes, no longer recognized as a political entity. After many members of the family were married into other notable families, such as the Draay family, only a handful of historians and the family itself knew of its origins on Kaikielius. (SWDB, E4VG, OWS)

House Purkis
This was one of the wealthiest of the Kuati merchant families, during the height of the New Order. (CCW)

House Vahalii
This was one of the most powerful of the ancient families that ruled the planet Kaikielius, during the years leading up to the formation of the Galactic Republic. The Vahalii family was a rival of House Praji during this time, serving with the Praji family and House Juonii as part of the Triad that controlled the planet. After the decimation of House Juonii during the First Alsakan Conflict, and after House Praji abandoned Kaikielius in the wake of the Great Hyperspace War, House Vahalii found themselves the lone remaining family on Kaikielius. The planet was crumbling around them, with large portions of the economy and the usable land falling into the hands of Hutt crimelords. Unknown to the family, they were being manipulated by members of House Praji, led by Minister of State Emppu Parji-Barck, who secretly provided weapons to the Odominic kajidic while filibustering any Republic aid to Kaikielius. When the civil war between the police and the crimelords reached a violent head, the Supreme Chancellor dispatched a group of Jedi Knights to mediate the conflict. In what became known as the Kaikieli Reconquista, Jedi Master Vandar Tokare and his Padawans were able to hammer out a cease-fire, putting an end to the machinations of Minister Praji-Barck. House Vahalii was able to persevere, and worked with the Jedi to restore Kaikielius to a lawful world. House Vahalii allied itself with the Empire during the era of the New Order, but surrendered to the New Republic in the wake of the Battle of Endor. House Vahalii tried to breathe a sigh of relief, but was soon subjugated by General Nahdonnis Praji and the Shadow Hand Fleet. The Imperials destroyed the House Vahalii skyhook and forced the family into hiding, which allowed Praji to assume governorship of Kaikielius. The surviving members of House Vahalii fled into space, rather than bow to the will of a descendant of House Praji. These survivors eventually established a stronghold on the planet Denon. (OWS)

House Vandron
The most ancient of the ruling houses in the Senex Sector, House Vandron controlled the slave farms on Karfeddion. During the last decades of the Old Republic, House Vandron realized that increased trade with the Republic would benefit their coffers.

Distinguished by his insatiable hunger for live food and the splash of medals that hung from the front of his uniform, Hovrak maintained a large database of non-human races and species that he used to pinpoint the next areas of the galaxy that the Diversity Alliance could focus on recruiting. Adding new races and new information into the database was an obsession for Hovrak, but it helped ensure that there were always new members to the cause. He focused a portion of his effort in locating and recruiting the Chevin race, because his database lacked detailed information about them.

Hovrak found a new challenge when Jacen Solo, Jaina Solo, Raynar Thul, and Tenel Ka were captured while trying to infiltrate the Diversity Alliance's headquarters on Ryloth. The young Jedi students were not intimidated by his appearance, and he called them worthless, Tenel Ka gave him a punch to the face before kicking him in the stomach and knees. Hovrak refused to be shown up, and threw the child into the ryll mines, threatening to take off Tenel Ka's other arm if she disobeyed. When the children managed to escape the ryll mines, Hovrak and a group of soldiers chased Jaina Solo and Raynar Thul into the Bright Lands. He nearly recaptured them, but Luke Skywalker and Zekk arrived in the Lightning Rod to rescue them. Hovrak tried to leap aboard the ship, but was unable to get a handhold and fell into a pool of lava. He was instantly consumed by the lava, and was never seen again. (DIV, DOG, JB)

The Borokii agreed, so long as the Jedi helped resolve their dispute with the Januul. Obi-Wan agreed, taking the Borokii's words at their face value, which did not specifically require the defeat of the Januul. When it was revealed that the Jedi were an honorable group, and that the treaty would benefit Alwari as well as city dwellers, the Januul agreed to support the Borokii and agree to the treaty. (APS)

Many scientists claimed that the baseline stock of hssiss originated on the planet Stenness, while others speculated that they might have evolved on Korriban. (TOJ, TOJC, DSSB, KOTOR2)

Hsskhor
This was the capital city of the planet Trandosha. About a year before the Battle of Ruusan, Republic forces fleeing from the Brotherhood of Darkness tried to regroup in Hsskhor, after being defeated on Kashyyyk. The native Trandoshans had no loyalties whatsoever in the war between the Sith and the Old Republic, and attacked any and all units that came into their territory. One such unit was the Gloom Walkers, who were decimated in a nighttime attack. However, these Trandoshan ambushes only incensed the Sith forces, and Hsskhor had been leveled within a week of the attack on the Gloom Walkers. (HNN4, DBPD)

Hsskhor Tally-house
This collection of buildings and meeting halls formed the governmental seat of the planet Trandosha. (HNN4)

Hsskor
This was one of the Trandoshan names for their home planet of Trandosha. (WOTC, UANT, NEGA)

H-Stable
This was the designation of a series of Por Forian power cells used on Mon Calamari luxury liners. (RM)

Hsuberry Tree
This large, palm-like tree grows in the swamps of the planet Naboo. It was distinguished by its fuzzy berries, which - if rumors were true - can be fermented into life-extending elixirs. (GF)

HT Drone
Manufactured by the Rodian corporation D-Tec, this droid can be equipped with legs or a small repulsor engine. Measuring just over a meter across, this clamshell-shaped drone was used to train bounty hunters. The HT was armed with a stun blaster and a variety of sensors, and was controlled by an RHTC-560 command unit. Swarms of HT drones were sent out into the field to track down Rodian hunters, but they could not stray more than fifty meters from the coRHTC command unit. (SPG)

HT Training System
This Rodian training system was desgined to help improve the skills of a hunter or tracker. The system consisted of six repulsorlift drones that were controlled independently, and could be used as targets or hunters, depending on their programming. (GMR1)

Ht-12
This was the desgination of Taim & Bak's double heavy laser cannon, produced during the last years of the New Order. (EGV, SWDB, SWG2P)

HT-2200
Corellian Engineering Corporation's medium freighter, the HT-2200 was 54.8 meters in length. It had a unique, double-hulled forward cargo section which was mounted to a series of engines. It had a trimantium armored hull, which contributed to its low lift-to-mass ratio. Overall the HT-2200 wasn't nearly as maneuverable as its cousins, and was considered to be "pirate bait" to many spacers and a commercial failure to the businessbeings of the CEC.

Despite these perceptions, the HT-2200 was able to provide spacers with a variety of environmental options within each cargo hold, an innovation for CEC. The HT-2200 required a pilot and co-pilot to operate, and could transport up to eight passengers and 800 metric tons of cargo. It was armed with a pair of turret-mounted Queldor pulse laser cannons. (SS, SWJ5, SWJ9, A)

HT-50
This form of transportation crate was manufactured by SoroSuub, and was equipped with a portable heater to keep cargoes warm during transport. (PSG)

HTT
This heavy troop transport was one of the few atmospheric vessel produced by Gallofree Yards for military applications. Massive repulsorlift engines help the HTT get to and from its base ship, using incredible lifting forces to reach top speeds in a matter of minutes. This quick acceleration was important, as the HTT was lightly armored and lacked weaponry. (LAWS)

HTV
This was an acronym used by Imperial Army forces to describe any heavy transport vehicle that was used to move spare parts and components from location to location. (ISB)

H-Type Starship
This sleek starship design was developed and produced by the Nubians, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Often used as the design basis for personal yachts, H-type vessels featured the cockpit and engine systems in a line with the drives, unlike the J-Type design that spread the engines out on wings. (TCG1, CVD)

Hu, Kitak
This aging Paigun owned and operated Hu's Emporium, located in the city of Efavan on the planet Vorzyd 5, during the early years of the New Order. Hu often built the technology and explosives that he sold in the shop, although these devices were often of questionable quality. Much of his technology was still in a testing phase when it was sold, allowing Hu to gauge its usefulness on unsuspecting customers. (GORW)

Hu raka
This phrase, from the language of the Tusken Raiders, translated into Basic as "I surrender." (GPB)

Hu wyoorg
This was the Shyriiwook word for the number 6. (GPB)

Hu'aac-du'ul-staranjan
This phrase was used in the Kel Dor language to describe a being who dwelt in darkness. The Baran Do Master known as Koro Ziil adopted this as his name when he "accepted death" at a farewell ceremony, but actually traveled deep into the rocky crust of Dorin to serve as the leader of the group of Sages who were protecting the knowledge of their civilization. The phrase also translated into Basic as "the hidden one", which was the unofficial title adopted by Koro Ziil when he accepted his role. (FJ1)

Huaah maw wuwu agah?
This question from the Wookiee language of Shyriiwook meant "When will he recover?" when translated into Basic. (GPB)

Huaahh
When translated into Basic, this Wookiee word from the Shyriiwook language meant "when." (GPB)

Hua'Bal
This huge cavern was located beneath Mount Hugo, on the planet Lamaredd. Originally excavated by the Outer Rim Oreworks corporation as a command center for the mining operations on Lamaredd, Hua'Bal was later taken over by the native Menahuun as an outpost city. The name Hua'Ba; meant "Hidden Glory" in the Menahu language. The Menahuun took control of Hua'Bal after their original settlement - established after Hugo Bartyn nearly drove them to extinction - suffered from severe water pollution, some three generations before the Battle of Naboo. (GMR7)

Hu'al, Ben
This being was one of many Sith magicians who worked on the creation of a creature that hunted almost purely by sound, during the centuries leading up to the Great Sith War. Records of the experiments indicated that Ben Hu'al was an inept scientist. (KOTOR)

Huarr, Ordith
This Lorrdian man was born some forty-one years before the Battle of Yavin. He served as a shuttle pilot during the years surrounding the Clone Wars, and later signed on with the Alliance as a Y-Wing pilot at the height of the Galactic Civil War. An undistinguished pilot, Huarr's record indicated that he had recorded just one-half of one kill during his tenure as a fighter pilot, before he retired and returned to Lorrd. During the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong, Huarr piloted a refugee shuttle on many missions, but became angry that most planets refused to accept the beings he was carrying. After the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, he retired again to Lorrd, and lived with his wife in the country until she died. Two years later, he reappeared and landed his battered Y-Wing at the Lorrd City Spaceport before demanding to see a Jedi Knight. He explained to Nelani Dinn and Jacen Solo that he believed his wife had returned as a Force ghost, despite the fact that she was not Force-sensitive. Jacen grew impatient with Nelani's further questioning, so he disabled Huarr's Y-Wing. Huarr, angry that he wasn't being taken seriously, set off the explosives he had been carrying in the Y-Wing. The resulting explosion killed Huarr and nearly killed Nelani and Jacen, who had been arguing about his sudden actions. (LF1)

Huath, Gukandar
This Yuuzhan Vong warrior was noted among his peers for his indifference toward the god Yun-Yuuzhan. Gukandar Huath chose instead to support the priests of Yun-Yammka and Yun-Harla. The Warmaster Tsavong Lah used Gukandar Huath's name in a discussion with Ghithra Dal, in an effort to discern any possible relationship between the Shapers and the priests of Yun-Yuuzhan in forcing the Warmaster to step down. (EL2)

Hub
This was the name given to the diamond-shaped, central section of the breastplate worn as part of a shockboxer's armor. The hub contained the power source for the rest of the body armor, and also provided a readout of the boxer's status in a given bout. This allowed referees and doctors to know things like the number of punches a shockboxer had taken, the strength of these punches, and the status of a boxer's armor. (OWS)

Hub, The
This collection of massive supercomputers was located inside the building known as Pyramid One, on the planet Ahakista, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. Originally conceived of by Emperor Palpatine, The Hub was an immense undertaking, requiring nearly as much secrecy as the construction of the first Death Star. The facility was built on Ahakista, since the planet was off the major spacelanes and relatively removed from the bustling activity of the Core Worlds.

In order to ensure that the Pyramid One building was constructed as swiftly as possible, the Imperial forces allied themselves with the leaders and upper class of Ahakista, then forced them to take control of the planet. As democracy was smashed, the Empire's presence remained in the shadows, and The Hub was built in a building that dominated the landscape, further emphasizing the might of the Empire.

While the local population was quelled, a small group of rebels managed to mount a small resistance, aided by Sardoth and his connection to the crimelord Raze. The rebels knew that the Empire was largely unaware of the tunnels that existed beneath the city, which could be used to secretly reach the Pyramid One building. Raze sent Wyl Tarson and a group of freelance agents to destroy The Hub, but their plans were undermined by the duplicity of Astor. (SWRAG)

Hub, The
This was another name used to describe the region at the center of the galaxy, including the Core Worlds and the Deep Core. (XWP)

Hub, The
This was the name given to the central section of Zirtran's Anchor. It was formed from the prototype station KV-29233-44B, and was bisected by the Spine Passage. (SWJ5)

Hub, The
This was the name given to the wheel-shape network of tubes and struts that held the High Port station, found in orbit around the planet Muunilinst, together. (GORW)

Huba
A former chef who worked for Olag Greck, Huba was in charge of preparing a feast for one of Greck's Hutt criminal partners. Greck tried to poison the food, but didn't put enough in it. When the Hutt tried to execute Greck, he blamed the slightly-poisoned food on Huba and his team of chefs. They were enslaved by the Hutt and put to work in crystal mines until they managed to escape some months later. Huba and his chefs became pirates, in an attempt to raise enough money to repay Greck's treachery. Captain Huba was encountered by C-3PO and R2-D2 during their adventures on Kalarba, just prior to the Galactic Civil War. He was a grey-skinned humanoid with a thick neck and pointed ears. He attacked the Tharen Wayfarer to steal what he could, since Olag Greck's shipment's had stopped flying through Kalarba's ports. He was fond of a good Stenness Pie. When C-3PO and R2-D2 beat Ripter in a vump-shugga race, Huba refused to accept the Captain's medal, and so Muptupp voted the Captaincy to R2-D2. When the droids left, Huba recovered his rank. (DRO)

Hubba
A gourd found in the desert oases of Tatooine, the hubba provided the primary basis for the diets of Sand People and Jawas. These round, yellow fruits grew in the shadows of cliffs, and their tough, stringy inner fibers held a great deal of water. The water could be wrung or sucked from them, providing fluids to the eater. The name "hubba" was derived from a Jawa term which meant "the staff of life." Dried or fried slices of hubba flesh were consumed as snack chips, and dried fibers were also ground into a form of tobacco. The rind of the gourd was also dried, but was pulverized and sifted. Small crystals which were imbedded in the rind were removed, and the remaining rind was steeped in water to create a pungent form of tea. The blossoms of the hubba plant were often used to create mildly-scented bouquets. (TME, TJP, EGA, TG, P, DN2)

Hubba Chips
These fried or baked pieces of hubba gourd were a popular snack food, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong War. (FJ2)

Hubba Heights
Located between the western Dune Sea and the Xelric Draw on the planet Tatooine, this collection of tectonic ridges was named for the hubba gourds that grew in its shady crags. (IWST)

Hubba Juice
This was a flavorful, nutritious juice that was pressed from the flesh of the hubba gourd. (FJ3)

Hub-buster
This was the term used in shockboxing to describe any any punch that used ion energy to try and disable an opponent's hub. If successful, a hub-buster puncher could lead to an IO, or ion-out, in which a fighter was forced to concede the match. (OWS)

Hublin, Shea
This Imperial noble was famous throughout the galaxy for his ability to destroy Alliance cells. (CSWEA)

Hu-carjen tok
This Yuuzhan Vong expression was used when an individual was subjected to intense pain. (FH3)

Hud
Native to the planet Rutan, this quadripedal predator was distinguished by the black and red stripes of its pelt. The Rutanians took wild hud stock and bred hunting beasts which were strong and swift, and used them as mounts during kudana hunts. (SP)

Hud
This was one of the more common surnames used by the Duros people. Like all such names, Hud was used only for official business, to indicate one individual from another when in the presense of non-Duros. The exact meaning of this ancient name was unknown, although it was assumed to be "hunter" or "forester". (GCG)

Hudorra, Kai
This grizzled Bothan held the rank of Jedi Master during the height of the Clone Wars. He was dispatched to the planet Toola, along with Jedi Master Simms and her Padawan, Noirah Na, to secure the Republic's position on the planet just prior to the First Battle of Coruscant. When the command was given to execute Order 66, Master Simms gave her life so that Hudorra and Noirah Na could escape. Hudorra took the young girl and fled to Ithaqua Station, hoping to sneak aboard a transport and escape. Much to the chagrin of Na, he shed any and all trappings of their former lives as Jedi, in an effort to slip past the clone troopers who were searching for them. They managed to book passage on a transport that took them Coruscant, where Master Hudorra hoped to find out what had happened to the Jedi Order. On Coruscant, he was able to identify several Jedi in the crowds, but only Dass Jennir would meet his gaze after one of their number was shot down by clone troopers for protesting the formation of the Galactic Empire. To ensure they were not discovered, Master Hudorra then destroyed their lightsabers, then sent Noirah to the spaceport with a packetful of credits. He ordered her to flee from Coruscant and hide somewhere until there was an opportunity for the Jedi to be reborn. Master Hudorra then met with Jennir, but refused to go with him to New Plympto. He decided to adopt the disguise of a gambler and disappear into the populace, and wait for the Force to recall him to his duty as a Jedi. (RIU)

Hudrow
This man once worked for Davik Kang, as the pilot of the Ebon Hawk, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Unfortunately, Hudrow was caught stealing some spice, and was imprisoned by Kang for his crime. He was later freed by the survivors of the Endar Spire, and provided them with the necessary codes to steal the ship. (KOTOR)

Hudsol, Bob
This Corellian served the Alliance as a Commander during the Battle of Yavin. His claim to fame was that he helped lead the Bothan resistance, and he had strong ties to the Bothan Spynet. (CCG2)

Hue
This huge, male Phlog worked as Jenna Zan Arbor's bodyguard during the time she lived on the planet Romin, several years before the onset of the Clone Wars. (JQ8)

Hueche
This predator was once the dominant species on the planet Colla IV. It was believed that the Colicoids developed the ability to roll up into a ball as a defense mechanism that enabled them to avoid being killed by the hueche. As the Colicoids became more technologically advanced, it was believed that they eventually wiped out the hueche population, thereby ensuring the survival of the Colicoids. (MF)

Huey
This dewback was maintained as a pet by Luke Skywalker's friend, Windom "Windy" Starkiller, on the planet Tatooine, in the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Windy set the dewback free when it came time for him to mate, but Huey returned to Windy shortly afterward. Unfortunately, Huey was later killed by a hungry krayt dragon when Windy and Luke tried to ride the dewback into the Jundland Wastes. Luke and Windy only escaped when Ben Kenobi drove off the krayt dragon with the help of the Force. (EGA, LLOW)

Huf Dun
This bio-engineered herd animal was native to the planet Talus, and served as a source of meat and hide. (GQRG)

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

Huffmaker
This was the Gungan word for "wind." (GPB)

Huffreys
This burly man served as Thella's first officer, during their mission to Kelada. (SWJ6)

Hufgeb Hsicl Merht
This phrase was an expletive used by the Dug people. (SWI62)

Hugard
This man was an independent spacer. (SWJ14)

Hugglepup
This species of small, harmless creature was native to the planet Iridonia. (DSTR)

Hug'rer
Captain Hug'rer was in command of the New Republic Scout Service's Ops Post on Xoemefel, during the early years of the New Republic. (GG8)

Huhk
This was the native language of the Huhks. (ANT)

Huhk
This was the larger, adult form which was achieved by the Lahsbee species at it matured. The Huhk, like the Lahsbee, was native to the planet Lahsbane. These polymorphous beings could somehow attain a greater mass in this form. The post-adolescent incarnation of the Lahsbee, the Huhk was a two-meter-tall, fur-covered humanoid with a mean temper. To ensure that Lahsbane was a safe place for all to live, the Huhks lived in the cities of the planet, while the Lahsbees remained in the forests and plains. (SWJ12, EGA, MC73)

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

Hui, Andoorni
This female Rodian was a member of X-Wing Rogue Squadron. She was killed during the assault on Borleias. (XWN)

Huip
This planetoid, known as a Sungrazer to the natives of the planet Beheboth, was the innermost body in the Beheboth System. It was named for the fact that its orbit practically skimmed the surface of the star, Beheboth. (PH)

Huj Mat
This woven rug appeared to be a jumble of shapes and colors, but a subtle pattern was woven into each mat. (EVC)

Hujaan, Bolabo
This female Sullustan maintained the starship repair facility known as Bolabo's Garage, located on the planey Bybloas, during the height of the New Order. After the Empire took control of Sullust, Bolabo fled her homeworld as soon as she could find employment aboard a starship, and never looked back. She learned how starships worked through years of on-the-job experience, and eventually settled on Byblos to start her own operation.

She was known to have been loyal to the Alliance, and often helped repair the ships of Alliance agents. However, she never did anything for free, and demanded payment up front before any repairs were started. She was also known as a smuggler, and would often steal the parts she required for the repairs done in the Garage. In order to help maintain the secrecy of the Garage, Bolabo developed a network of contacts within Byblos Starport Security, which she kept happy with regular payoffs. (CRO, OWS)

Huk
This alien race was the native to a planetary system near Kalee. Note that The Swarm War indicates that the Huks were a wasp-like race, while Star Wars Insider, issue 86, portrays them as mantids. This issue also states that the Huk were actually the Yam'rii, and came from a planet known as Huk. Throughout much of their history, the Huk were at odds with their planetary neighbors, including the Kaleesh. At its roots, the conflict was started when the savage Huks wanted to conquer the Kaleesh. A full-scale war broke out many years before the Clone Wars, with the Kaleesh exterminating entire hives of Huks before the conflict reached its head. Rather than surrendering, though, the Huks appealed to the Old Republic to resolve the conflict. When a group of fifty Jedi Knights arrived to mediate the war, the Huks immediately made it appear as if the Kaleesh had attacked the Huk worlds to acquire their natural resources. The Jedi ruled in favor of the Huks, forcing the Kaleesh to retreat to their homeworlds. During the height of the Swarm War, the Huk government was targetted by the Colony for a military coup, and in effort to draw the Galactic Alliance into fighting smaller fires and leaving the Utegetu Nebula unguarded. This would allow the Colony to launch its full-scale attack on the Chiss, but the plans of the Colony were discovered by Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo. (LEV, DN3, SWI86)

Huk
This planet was rumored to have been the homeworld of the Yam'rii. Note that Star Wars Insider, issue 86, claims that it was the Yam'rii who invaded the planet Kalee, and that the Kaleesh came to use the word huk to refer to the invaders. (SWI86)

Huk
This was a racial slur that became part of the language of the Kaleesh people, after their homeworld was invaded by the Huks. The word huk came to mean something like "soulless bug" to the Kaleesh. (SWI86)

Huk Wars
This was the used by the Kaleesh to describe their conflict with the neighboring Huks, several years before the onset of the Clone Wars. The Huk Wars were the final escalation of hostilities between the Kaleesh and the Huks, who had been enemies for many generations. Note that Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 86, indicates that the alien attackers were actually the Yam'rii, who were native to a planet known as Huk. Utlimately, the Kaleesh were the stronger of the two species, and might have conquered the Huks if the Huks hadn't appealed to the Old Republic for assistance. The Huks played like the victims in the conflict, portraying the Kaleesh as marauders who wanted to take control of the resource-rich Huk worlds. In the end, the Jedi Masters T'chooka D'oon and Jmmaar were dispatched to mediate the situation, and ruled in favor of the Huks. The Kaleesh were punished by the Old Republic and their society foundered, while the Huks were free to rebuild their civilization and reap the benefits of their new connection to the Republic. (LEV, SWI86)

Hukaatir
This Mandalorian verb meant "to protect," "to shield", or "to cover up." (OWS)

Hukaat'kama
This Mando'a command meant "Watch my back!." (OWS)

Hukudi, Gepto
This was a distniguished member of the Pacithhip society. (UANT)

Hul
This female name was common among the Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)

Hul, Alfren
This Imperial General was assigned to the forces which supporter Moff Andal's attempts to eliminate piracy and rebellion in Elrood Sector, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. He was known for his xenophobia and his hatred of droids, and he maintained a pool of automata solely for target practice. Hul maintained a gladiator arena at his compound on Derilyn, where he pitted criminals and suspected Alliance supporters against Coynite warriors in battles to the death. Known as the Arena of Games, it brought back a form of entertainment made popular by Coynites. In order to finance his gladiator games, Hul ran up a large gambling debt with Lud Chud. He was about to be exposed when he managed to capture Mikos Argdran and recover the datafiles which would have incriminated him. When the Brazen was severely damaged in a pirate ambush, Hul declared martial law on Derilyn. When the Brazen was destroyed while in drydock at the Derilyn Space Defense Platform, Hul suddenly found himself being reprimanded, and lost his position within the military. (PG3, OE)

Hulak Wraid
This subspecies of wraid, which was native to the planet Tatooine, was considered much tougher than the desert wraid. (KOTOR)

Hulas
This Rodian spent his retirement on the planet Tatooine, some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, ekeing out an existence on the edge of the Dune Sea. For many years, Hulas served as a recruiting officer for the Genoharadan Assassin Guild, and was based on Manaan for many years. (KOTOR)

Hulgren
A huge, wormlike creature found on Hosk Station, it had a thick, grey skin and numerous misplaced eyes. Its mouth was full of large pointed teeth, and a group of horns on its head. (DRO)

Hulis, Noab
This ancient, Miraluka Jedi sought out Chamma after the younger Jedi defeated a Sith-spawned being on Athiss and went into hiding on H'ratth. Hulis retold the tale of Chamma's bravery and control of the Force, and eventually convinced Chamma to return to his training. Master Hulis was perhaps best-known for training Barrison Draay in the ways of the Force, because he also advised Barrison on ways that he could balance the requirements of being a Jedi Knight with the realities of managing his family's immense wealth. It was later learned that Master Hulis had sired at least three daughters who were trained as Jedi Knights, including Krynda Hulis, who later married Barrison Draay. (TOJC, KOR10)

Hull Scrubber
This form of anti-theft system was developed for use aboard starships by scientists and technicians in the Hapes Cluster, during the years following the Swarm War. The hull scrubber used controlled bursts of electromagnetic energy to keep a droid or homing beacon from attaching itself to the hull of a starship. One of the drawbacks to using a hull scrubber was that it did not remove pulse-shielded droids, such as combat droids, that could shield themselves from the electromagnetic energy. (LF9)

Hull Skimming
This was an attack tactic used by bold or desparate naval leaders in attacking a larger vessel. Starfighters were ordered to engage a large ship at such close range that they were beneath the larger ship's shield, literally skimming over the surface of the hull. This gave the starfighters the ability to fire without having to punch through heavy shields, and force the larger ship's targetting computers to get a fix on spacecraft that were too close to accurately track. This tactic was effective against larger ships that lacked good point-defense systems, instead relying on long-range targeting computers. (OF, SSOG)

Hullepi
This Khil term describes the strands of flesh which chang from their faces. The Khil rely on their hullepi for a number of uses. Primary among them was respiration; the hullepi collect air from around them and filter it to the lungs. The second use was feeding, as the debris filtered out by the hullepi was often rich in micro-proteins and other solid matter, and was consumed by the Khil. The third use of the hullepi was for communcation. By drawing air around and through hullepi of varying lengths and thicknesses, the Khil can create a musical form of speech. (GG12)

Hullis
This was the capital city of the planet Halmad. It was the site of a small Imperial garrison, and remained under Imperial control for several years following the Battle of Endor. (IF)

Hull-scrapings
This was a term used by many human soldiers and naval personnel to describe innane words and orders from their superior officers. (LCM)

Hultomo
This snow- and ice-covered planet was the second planet in the Garnib System. It had two moons. (PG1)

Hu'lya, Kolir
This female Bothan was one of the many Jedi Knights who were trained by Luke Skywalker and his new Jedi Order, in the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. When Thrackan Sal-Solo threatened to secede the Corellian System from the Galactic Alliance, Kolir joined Jaina Solo and Zekk as part of Team Purella, on a mission to infiltrate the city of Coronet and capture the Corellian Prime Minister. Kolir herself had only been elevated to the rank of Jedi Knight in the weeks preceeding the mission, and was the youngest of the members of Team Purella. Their mission was discovered when Five World Prime Minister Aidel Saxan learned of possible GA actions in a conversation with Han Solo, and the Jedi were forced to fight for their own lives when a droid used to replace the Prime Minister exploded in their faces. Kolir was badly injured in a fall, but was recovered by her fellow Jedi and carried off Corellia for treatment.

Months later, Kolir Hu'lya was chosen to be part of the Jedi team that planned to infiltrate the planet Coruscant and capture or eliminate Jacen Solo. Kolir was among the group of Jedi who first confronted Solo in the hangar bay near his offices, along with mission leader Kyle Katarn and Valin Horn. She was injured when Solo used the Force to deflect a pasing speeder into Katarn's body. The speeder knocked her over as it passed, damaging her legs. Kolir managed to shrug off the injury and confront Solo, after he defeated Katarn in a lightsaber duel. However, Solo was too powerful, even after Kolir was joined by Valin Horn and Thann Mithric, so the surviving Jedi chose to escape when Seha Dorvald arrived with a shuttle. (LF1, LF7)

Human Configuration Disguise
This was the term used by Jaina Solo to describe her appearance to the guards of the Diversity Alliance on Ryloth, after she and her fellow Jedi students escaped from captivity. They were not wearing any disguises at all, and hoped that the thugs who had been hired by Nolaa Tarkona would be too stupid to notice. According to Jaina, she and Raynar Thul were actually aliens who were testing out Tarkona's newest invention. The human configuration disguise, Jaina claimed, would help non-humans infiltrate human cities and government. Luckily for Jaina and her companions, the guards agreed to let them go, seemingly convinced of the existence of actual human configuration disguises. (JB)

Human Events Network
This pro-Imperial newsnet reported on a variety of cultural events which occurred in the Core Worlds, during the height of the New Order. (SWJ5, SWJ14)

Human High Culture
This was a theory which was prevalent during the New Order, and documented why the human race and its culture was the ultimate evolution of society in the galaxy. Developed by Emperor Palpatine himself, the idea of Human High Culture was deeply rooted in his xenophobic mentality. However, no matter how humanocentric he was, Emperor Palpatine was known to hire aliens for specific roles within in the Imperial government. (SWJ7, SESB, CN2)

Human League
This was the name adopted by the group which opposed the Corellian Trade Summit, some fourteen years after the Battle of Endor. The Human League was led by Thrackan Sal-Solo, who was known to its members as the Hidden Leader. It was set up as a private security force that was decidedly pro-human, and catered to human clients. The members of the Human League wore shabby, dark brown uniforms with black armbands. On the armbands was the symbol of the Human League, a grinning skull holding a dagger in its mouth. The goal of the Human League was to shed the edicts of the Empire and separate the three primary races of the Corellian Sector, with the human race being named the primary ruling race. During the Corellian Incident, Thrackan Sal-Solo provided the personnel of the Human League as soldiers and insurgents to the Sacorrian Triad, as part of a deal that would have made him Diktat of the Corellian System. Sal-Solo later double-crossed the Triad, assuming the title of Diktat and seceding from the New Republic. (AC, NECH)

Human Replica Droid
Human replica droids were first imagined during the years leading up to the Clone Wars, although the development of a working prototype took many more years. The first versions of the human replica droid used genetic material from the being to replicated to create the outer skin and general appearance. In this way the droid appeared to be an exact duplicate of the target, at least by outward appearances. However, the technology that went into the droid brain used in these early models tended to become contaminated by the genome of the clone, and a cascading systems failure led to the destruction of the droid. The onset of this failure was obvious as soon as the human replica droid - also known as an HRD - began to experience wild swings in its internal temperature. Scientists reasoned that the failure was the result of a mutant combination of organic and computer viruses that caused the droid brain to believe it was at once human and machine.

Continued experimentation by the Empire's scientists was paralleled by the work of a group of technicians who were funded by Prince Xizor. Later work was taken up as part of the Alliance's Project Decoy, when the Alliance hoped to use these droids to infiltrate Imperial installations and pose as officers. They could be used in dangerous situations where the person's life might be at stake. However, the Alliance ran out of funding for Project Decoy, and the Empire managed to acquire their research and build their own version of the HRD. The Empire employed Massad Thrumble and Simonelle the Ingoian to create an Imperial version of the HRD, which later became the droid known as Guri.

After the Battle of Endor, the fledgling New Republic found that it could fund a limited development project to built human replica droids, and employed Fandar and Fugo as part of the Defense Research and Planetary Assistance Center initiative. These New Republic HRDs had lasers in their eyes, but were deemed too clumsy and droid-like to pass for real humans. (QE, SE, NEGD, CN1)

Humat
This ancient Jedi went crazy more than 19,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. After leaving the Jedi Order, Humat took his possessions and fled to Coruscant. There, he buried his treasures deep underground, in a vault which became known as the Cell of Imu. This treasure trove was rumored to be filled with all manner of odd and arcane devices, as ancient histories revealed that Humat had a penchant for sinister applications of technology and the Force. The centerpiece of his collection was a talisman known as the soul stealer, and in order to protect it, Humat maintained a menagerie of vicious guard animals as well as installed a number of deadly traps in the Cell of Imu. (CCW)

Humbaba
This bovine creature was native to several forested planets, including Corellia and Kashoon. It was often used in the expletive reference, "knee-deep in humbaba manure." The average specimen measured two meters in height at the shoulder, and was covered with dense fur. Ancient Kashoonara legends spoke of humbaba which measured "six Kahsoonara high" at the shoulder. These beasts were natural burrowers, living in the softer swamplands at the edge of the forest. There were four known species of humbaba, distinguishable by their unusual, prehensile noses. Despite their size and their burrowing nature, humbabas were extremely fast on their feet, making them excellent mounts for the Kashoonara. During the liberation of Kashoon from the Empire, Alliance forces also rode humbabas into battle. The Kashoonara revered the humbaba, and forbade the hunting of these creatures. (THG, COG)

He ejected the escape craft over Phelarion just as the Imperials destroyed his ship. Hume died in the explosion. (CSWEA, EGC)

Hume
This humanoid male once served as an officer in the Grand Army of the Republic, during the era of the Clone Wars. Because of his vocal support of the ideals of the Republic, Hume found himself targetted by the Enemy Eradication Order of Coruscant, after Chancellor Palpatine named himself Emperor and instituted the New Order. Rather than submitting to Imperial domination, Hume eliminated all records of his existence and joined the Erased. Like many of his fellow Erased, Hume wanted to locate Solace and find peace, so he was more than willing to accompany Ferus Olin and Trever Flume on their search. After locating the Solace and identifying her as the former Jedi Fy-Tor-Ana, Ferus and Trever set out to return to the surface and prevent Inquisitor Malorum from locating them. Hume and the other members of the Erased remained behind in the underground settlement, but found themselves under attack by the agents sent by Malorum. Hume was later found among the dead who perished in the attack. (LJ3, LJ4)

(PJSB)

Hundred-Year Darkness
This devastating war, precipitated by the events known as the Second Great Schism, began some 7,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. It was a struggle between the Light and Dark Sides of the Force, in which those who refused to adhere to the Jedi Code were exiled to a group of planets in the vicinity of Corbos. The exiles began experimenting with the creation of monstrous soldiers of various origins, leading up to the creation of the Leviathans.

Hunt saboteurs would lurk behind the normal operations of a bounty hunter, waiting for the target to be captured before moving in. Once secured, the saboteur would move in and take possession of the target and return it to a location specified by the entity that placed the bounty. If successful, the target would be retrieved without the need to pay a high-priced bounty. The only payment would be to the sabotuer, who often commanded a much lower fee. (SLS)

Hunter of Winds
This elder Qom Qae Bargainer felt that the need to contact Luke Skywalker for help against the Threateners was too much of a risk, since it involved one of their nesting attaching itself to a Threatener ship for the journey to the known galaxy. This got him into trouble with Eater of Fire Creepers, who believed that the messages had been sent. When Luke finally arrived on Nirauan, Hunter of Winds opposed his son's assistance of Luke and Mara Jade, in their struggle to reach the Hand of Thrawn. Child of Winds wanted to contact the Qom Jha for help, but Hunter of Winds thought better of the idea. Child of Winds disobeyed his father and got Luke in contact with Eater of Fire Creepers.

Despite their fragile appearance, the wings of a hunting fly were actually formed from tough, translucent hide that was supported by a bony frame. The body of a hunting fly was iridescent in color, changing slightly as the creature moved through the air. Its mouth was formed by a pair of sharp mandibles that could tear flesh from another creature's body. The noise created by the hunting fly's wings was quite loud and distinctive, and it was believed that the pitch of the sound was used to attract another insect during mating periods. This idea was formed during the Clone Wars, when hunting flies were drawn to the drone of the engines of an LAAT/i in flight. (CWN)

This Hutt crimelord maintained several ryll mines on the planet Ryloth, during the height of the New Order. A slaver by trade, Hunvar dabbled in spice to ensure a steady flow of credits. One of his mines seemed to have produced an unexpected benefit: an ancient Jedi holocron. In the tumult that followed, it was revealed that the holocron story was a hoax perpetrated by the local opposition, meant to draw public attention to the slavery of Twi'leks, especially females. (GORW)

When Anakin Skywalker devised a daring plan to rescue the hostages at the Intergalactic Communications Center, Admiral Hupsquoch was ordered to destroy the facility, rendering it useless to the Separatists. The plan was to drive the Separatists off Praesitlyn, and rebuild the communications center later. (JT)

Huralok
This reptilian race was native to the planet Djurmo. Known for their vicious nature and their incredible longevity, Huraloks chose to remain separated from the rest of the galaxy. Interestingly, Huraloks hated each other as much as theu hated other races, and only came together to mate and decide on laws. They were known for their ability to pursue a grudge for decades until it was resolved, and preferred to manipulate other beings rather than dealing with them in a straight-forward manner. The average Huralok was distinguished by its black-striped scales and triangular head, and stood about 1.5 meters in height. The hands and feet of a Huralok were tipped with thick claws that could be used to manipulate objects or tear into flesh. It was not uncommon for an individual Huralok to live for three centuries or more. During the height of the New Order, Huralok pirates regularly harassed Imperial convoys, and the long-running struggle between them became the fodder of many holodramas. (GORW)

Huralok
This was the native language of the Huralok race. (GORW)

Hurana
This young girl attended the Leadership School on Andara, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Outwardly shy, Hurana was never accepted by the wealthier students of influential parents.

She was placed in charge of transportation, working behind the scenes to ensure that the group could get into and out of a mission without being noticed. When Gillam's plan to fake his own death and blame it on his father was exposed by Anakin Skywalker and his Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Hurana, Gillam, and the entire team were expelled from the Leadership School and transported to Coruscant for questioning. (JQ5)

Hurati
This man served as a Second Lieutenant in Ghez Hokan's hastily-formed police force on the planet Qiilura, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. It was Hurati who showed Hokan the remains of several battle droids, which had been left behind as a kind of warning by the members of Omega Squad. After the desertion and subsequent execution of Pir Cuvin, Hurati was promoted to full Lieutenant, and became one of Hokan's most trusted advisors. His position within Hokan's organization was solidified when he managed to evade the destruction caused by Omega Squad at Hokan's primary fortress, allowing Hokan's forces to move around the complex with more freedom.

When Mace Windu was just a Padawan, his Master sent him on a solo mission to Hurikane to obtain crystals for the construction of Mace's lightsaber. While on Hurikane, Mace mistakenly injured one of the humanoids, forcing him off a cliff and shattering parts of his body. Ashamed of his actions, Windu drew deeply from the Force and helped to repair the being. In return for his generosity, the natives of Hurikane provided young Windu with several of their purple crystals to use in his lightsaber. These crystals gave Mace Windu's lightsaber its unusual purple blade. (T13)

Hurlothrumb, Lorenz
This Imperial scientist and researcher worked in the Imperial Medi-Center's Encephalo-Research Division. Moff Bandor promised him the ability to test his "wave machine" on live sentients, and Hurlothrumb agreed to work for him. The resulting device was known as the Hurlothrumbic Generator, and was put to use by Bandor on Questal. (GCQ)

Hurlothrumbic Generator
A device which produces energy waves that cause the human brain to react with varying levels of fear, depending on the strength of the waves. It was designed and developed by Doctor Lorenz Hurlorthrumb, some time after the Battle of Yavin. Moff Bandor helped finance the development, and experimented with the use of the device during the Galactic Civil War on the planet Questal. Bandor modified the generator, adding specific "doomsday programming" to set off ever-increasingly intense waves of fear. Once activated, the generator will eventually develop such powerful waves that it would drive every inhabitant of the planet Questal mad with fear. He was apprehended by a squad of Alliance agents before he could put it to wide-scale use. (GCQ)

Hurn
This dark-haired, middle-aged man was on Caluula Station when Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon arrived after escaping Selvaris, shortly after the actions of Operation Trinity. Han believed that he recognized Hurn's voice, but could not place his face or remember his name. Hurn explained that he had a face that was familiar to most people, raising some concern from Han's wife, Leia Organa Solo. Later, during the defense of Caluula Station, the Solos encountered a band of warriors dressed like the Mandalorians of the Old Republic, and they came to believe that Hurn was actually Boba Fett. The truth was revealed during the fight to save Caluula Station, when Fett and his fellow soldiers helped the Solos escape to Calamari. (UF)

This was a Yuuzhan Vong term of contemplation. (EVR)

Hurricane 506
A model of Bespin Motors twin-pod cloud car. In the Hurricane configuration, one pod was used for pilot and co-pilot, while the other contains the power generators needed to power the weapons and engines. Because of this configuration, the Hurricane tends to roll to the left during acceleration. The Hurricane was later replaced with the Storm IV cloud car. (GG7)

Hurst
This man worked as a cortosis miner on Apatros, working for the Outer Rim Oreworks company during the decades leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. He was a rough man who treated the other miners with respect, provided that they respected him as well. Hurst was forced to raise his young son, Dessel, by himself, after his wife died, and was dismayed when Des decided to follow him into the cortosis mines. He spent many years giving Des a grief in the mines, as Hurst felt that it had been Des who caused the death of his wife. Hurst went so far as to call Des by the nickname Bane, especially when he was drunk. When Hurst finally died, the other miners felt a kind of resentment toward Des, as if it had been his fault that Hurst had died, too. After Des was chosen for training as a Sith Lord and adopted the title of Darth Bane, he came to realize that it had been his use of the Dark Side of the Force that killed Hurst during a particularly strong argument. (OWS, DBPD)

Hu also sold a wide variety of sensors and explosive weapons, many of which he personally developed. Of course, these were often of dubious quality. (GORW)

Hush-98
Originally developed by SoroSuub during the era of the Clone Wars, the Hush-98 was one of the galaxy's most expensive comlinks. It had exceptional range and encryption technology, as well as silence projectors that created a bubble of white noise around the user. This helped protect private transmissions from prying ears, and allowed military personnel to communicate over distances up to 100 kilometers. (AEG, CWTV16)

Hush-About
This was the brand name of Arakyd Aerodynes, Incorporated's AJP-400 personal jet pack, producing during the height of the New Order. (GFT)

Hustru fonster
This Vulanish phrase found its way into the Corellian language, and literally translated into Basic as "the wife in the window." During the last decades of the Old Republic, the phrase took on a less-than-ideal meaning among the Ensterites. Many elderly Ensterites watched as their sons or daughters fell in love with eksters of the opposite sex, and wanted to spent their lives with them. However, rather than forsaking their families to marry the ekster, the sons or daughters would take an enster spouse as their "wife" or "husband." However, the spouse was little more than a token, chosen for social or commerical reasons and serving only as the link to an Ensterite inheritance. The son's or daughter's true love was with the ekster individual, who was ostensibly hired as a gardener or maid so that they could live in the home to be with their lover. In this way, the enster spouse remained home as the "wife in the window," living an empty life. Note that there was an umlaut over the 'o' in fonster. (MJH)

Hutt
The Hutts were a race of large, slug-like beings with short, stubby arms, huge eyes, and a wide mouth. These amphibian gastropods originated on the planet Varl, but have populated a great number of other worlds, including Nal Hutta. It was believed that Hutts had been both predator and prey during the course of their evolution, because modern Hutts displayed characteristics of both. They spoke their own language, and had the ability to see in visible light as well as ultraviolet light. They often lit their palaces with both visible and ultraviolet light, turning off the natural lighting to give trespassers a false sense of stealth.

Despite the sheer bulk of their flesh, Hutts did not have a skeleton. Instead, an internal mantle helped shape the head and support the arms, while the rest of their body was simply one large, snail-like foot. When threatened, or when a Hutt needed to make itself more impressive, they could flatten out the upper portion of their body, making them appear learger. The skin of a Hutt was incredibly thick, and was covered with a mixture of mucus and oily sweat. This allowed the skin to resist harsh chemicals and even some blaster bolts. Below the epidermis was a thick layer of blubber that helped maintain body temperature and made it almost impossible to puncture their skin with a knife.

Hutts were also hermaphroditic, although individuals often chose to appear as one sex or the other for the benefit of their audience. Young Hutts, which were known as Huttlets, spent their first year of life inside a pouch on their mother's belly, and were virtually mindless. They lived near their mothers for several decades after birth, returning to their pouches when they were scared or tired. Young Hutts aren't considered accountable until they were well over 100 years old, and many Hutts lived to be well over a thousand years of age. All Hutts were given a unique name at their birth, which was supported by their clan name and their surname, as in Jabba Desilijic Tiure.

The history of the Hutt race could be traced to the earliest of times before the formation of the Old Republic. They were a strong force even then, dominating large portions of the space surrounding their homeworld. However, much of the Hutt strength came from their cunning minds, which the Hutts focused on after their first encounters with humanoids. Realizing that the humanoids were much faster, Hutts chose to make their own minds faster, outthinking humanoids at their own games. After the discovery of the hyperdrive, the Hutts began expanding their territories, which brought them into contact with Xim the Despot. Xim and the Hutts fought several fierce battle near the uninhabited world of Vontor, until the Hutts discovered the Si'Klaata Cluster and the strong, warrior-like races it hid. The Hutts managed to sign the Klatooinans, Niktos, and Vodrans into perpetual servitude, and used many warriors during the Third Battle of Vontor. This was the decisive battle against Xim, and left the Hutts in control of large areas of the galaxy.

However, the Hutts could not escape their own greedy nature, and soon began to covet each other's holdings. Interclan wars broke out, and the clans eventually broke off relations with each other. When they realized that this was bad for business, they began exchanging messengers. The Hutts took to killing the messengers if they didn't like the message, but this further impaired business. So, the Hutts made a pact which recognized messengers as sacrosanct.

As a race, Hutts did not trust any other races, a trait that stemmed from an incident in which all prominent Hutts on Nal Hutta were executed by an assassin.

During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Borga the Hutt tried to negotiate a treaty with the alien invaders, ostensibly offering up one world in Hutt Space in exchange for information on which planets the Yuuzhan Vong would attack next. Borga hoped the Hutts could profit from the information by manipulating the spice trade on certain worlds, but he also provided the information to the New Republic. Thus earned Borga and his fellow Hutts the ire of Nas Choka, who retaliated by swiftly subjugating Nal Hutta and terraforming it to the needs of the Yuuzhan Vong. The surviving Hutt population was forced to flee Nal Hutta, and existed as exiles on remote worlds for the duration of the war. (E6, COTF, ZHR, GG4, GG12, TPS, THG, RD, NJOSB, NEGA, CWVG, CN1, CWN)

This was a slang term, used by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, to describe any sub-standard starship control facility. (RCHC)

Hutt Battle Armor
This speciallized form of body armor was designed for use by members of the Hutt race. Each suit was custom-made for an individual Hutt, and protected virtually every inch of the Hutt's body. Tiny microrepulsors imbedded in the armor helped to negate the weight of the plating, allowing the Hutt to move about almost unhindered by the battle armor. Often these suits were equipped with a chest-mounted vocabulator, which allowed the Hutt to communicate with their opponent - often with taunts and jibes - during battle. (TF)

Hutt Caravel
A short-range transport ship used by the Hutt crime lords to shuttle between Nal Hutta and Nar Sahddaa. No two caravels were alike, for each Hutt had tried to outdo his brethren in expressing his individuality. There were varying ranges of luxury in the caravels, depending on the Hutt's financial power. Most were basically transports that can be modestly armed. Most caravels have escape pods for their Hutt owners, but none for the crew. (DE1, DESB, EGV)

Hutt Castle
This was another name for Jabba the Hutt's Palace. Note that the young adult novelization of Star Wars: The Clone Wars also refers to the monastery on Teth as the Hutt Castle. (CWYN)

Hutt Chuba's
This was one of the many exotic bars and hotels that sprang up in the spaceport city of Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, in the wake of the Galactic Civil War. The establishment was best-known for the Foamwander Spa, a replica of Foamwander City in which beings were pampered in warm, moist pools. (GPB)

Hutt Council of Elders
see Clan Council (TF)

Hutt Counselor
This position was usually given to a non-Hutt, and refers to an individual who had been appointed to conduct business on behalf of a Hutt ruler or his clan. Each counselor must be well-versed in the complexities of Hutt politics and business. Therefore, a counsleor almost always remains with a single family, rather than try to learn about multiple groups. The counselor must also be unswervingly loyal to the Hutt clan it serves, or risk a quick death. The position of Hutt counselor was created in the wake of the violence which erupted between kajidics during the Old Republic, in an effort to maintain the Hutt society instead of wiping it out. (TFNR)

Hutt Empire
This was the name given to the collection of planets that were controlled by the Hutts, during the millennia leading up to the Pius Dea Period. When Contispex assumed the role of Supreme Chancellor, he targeted the Hutt Empire as one of the first non-human governments to topple. Contispex chose the Hutt Empire because the popular opinion was that the Hutts were evil, which allowed Contispex to carry out the pro-human Pius Dea Crusades without a great deal of public backlash. (OWS)

Hutt Flats
Located on the dried-up bed of Lake Anre, this open desert area was located just outside the Mos Espa Grand Arena, and served as the final obstacle on one lap of the podracing course made famous by the Boonta Eve Classic.

Hutt Space
This was the name given to the sector of the galaxy that was controlled by the Hutts. Hutt Space was one of the few sectors that was allowed to remain completely independent from the rest of the galactic community. Containing the planet Nal Hutta and its moon, Nar Shaddaa, Hutt Space was located between the Mid Rim and the Outer Rim Territories, near the Tion Hegemony and the region of the galaxy known as Wild Space. Hutt Space included all the planets that had been colonized by the Hutts, as well as the star systems of the Si'Klaata Cluster, which were annexed to the Hutts as part of the Treaty of Vontor. (SWI65, SWI89, NEGA, CWN)

It had many underlying meaning, from the belief that a Hutt never through a banquet that a being of another race could stomach, to the notion that a Hutt never held a banquet simply to give its friends a good meal. (LF3)

Hutt's Last Laugh, The
Located in The Blinders district of the port city of Sahl-Evin, "The Laugh" was the primary watering hole for the workers who built starships on the planet Jenenma. The name of the tavern was based on the fact that a Hutt used to run The Blinders for many years, until it simply pulled up its operations and left. The Hutt's criminal organization remained behind, continuing to operate despite the absence of its leader. Located in the rear portion of The Laugh was a large room, large enough to hold a deep fighting pit. The edges of the pit, which was splattered with blood and gore from a myriad of races, were enclosed by panes of starship windows. These protected the beings who watched the fights staged in the pit, while keeping the combatants inside. (WOA19)

Hut'uun
This Mando'a word meant "coward," and was considered the worst possible insult one Mandalorian could give to another. The meaning was rooted in the Mandalorians' hatred of the Hutts, who often hired other beings to do their fighting for them. Linguists and many Mandalorians considered the term hut'uun to be the exact opposite of the word "hero," even though there was no Mandalorian word for "hero." (OWS, SWI86, RCTZ)

A veteran of over twenty missions before she joined the Rogues, Xarrce put her skills to their best use while awaiting transfer. She flew several missions for the Rogues during the Battle of Brentaal, and made a number of friends within the squadron. After the battle was over and the Rogues had a chance to relax, Xarrce withdrew her request for transfer and remained with the Rogues. (XWES, HXW)

Huxley, Jerf
This heavy-set man was one of the Outer Rim's most successful and notorious smugglers, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He had been a part of Talon Karrde's vast information network following the peace treaty signed by the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant, but was let go about three years later when Karrde finally decided to get out of the smuggling business. He didn't like the idea of being cut loose, and confronted Karrde's agent, Mara Jade Skywalker, with a demand for 500,000 credits as severence pay. To emphasize his demands, Huxley brought out a working, Clone Wars-vintage droideka to ensure her cooperation. Despite his confidence, Huxley was unprepared for Mara's use of the Force on Sinker, nor for the appearance of her husband, Luke Skywalker. Ultimately, Huxley found himself lucky to be alive. Mara agreed to provide him with 20,000 credits as payment for his services, and Huxley reluctantly agreed to the deal. (SQ)

HX.6
This surface-based, planetary defense turbolaser battery was produced by Golan Arms. Known as a Hex battery, this six-barreled unit coulod fire in a variety of patterns to cover a larger area. It required a crew of ten to operate, and needed an immense power generator to maintain its fire. Unlike ion cannons which simply disabled a craft, the HX.6 could simply destroy them. (LOE)

HX2
This proximity mine was first produced by Conner Ship Systems during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Though considered outdated by the armies that fought during the Clone Wars, the HX2 mine remained a valuable weapon in the field for many decades. The battle droids of the Separatist armies made extensive use of HX2 mines, in an effort to slow the progress of the Grand Army of the Republic across a battlefield. Decades later, the HX2 mine was used by the ground forces of the Alliance.

The HX2 was equipped with an adhesive disc that allowed it to be attached to walls or hidden underneath vehicles. It could also be thrown at a target or dropped in the path of an oncoming enemy force. When placed on a target, the HX2 mine could be triggered by a soldier, who then fled the scene before the detonator was activated by movement in its vicinity. HX2 mines that were thrown into action used a motion-sensing system that armed the detonator after a short period in which no motion was detected. It then waited until an object moved into its vicinity before exploding. (LAWS, SWMW)

Hxil
This was an abandoned launch platform, located in the Sluis Van System during the eraly decades of the New Republic. (SWI64)

HXZ-1 Immobilizer Series Droid
This cylindrical, wheeled droid was manufactured by Cybot Galactica for use by police forces. Similar in appearance to the FX-series of medical droids, the HXZ-1 Immobilizer was a slow-moving droid that was incapable of acive combat duty. Instead, it was used for riot control and for apprehending criminals without risking the lives of organic officers. Armed with a heavy blaster pistol, an ion weapon, and a stun baton, the HXZ-1 could bring down a Wookiee-sized opponent with relative ease, provided that it could get close enough. Many of these droids found their way on the home defense market, but they tended to destroy personal property while going about their duties of apprehending thieves and intruders. (UA)

HY-6
Developed by BlasTech, this heavy laser cannon was developed for the Empire, and was designed to operate in aquatic environments. (AIR)

Hyabb

Hyabb-Twith Campaigns
This long struggle between the ancient Jedi Knights and the Nelroni Marauders took place more than four millennia before the Battle of Yavin. Despite the obvious benefits it would have brought them, the governments of Hyabb and Twith stayed out of the conflict, ostensibly to avoid retarting their centuries-old feuds. Many Jedi lost their lives over the course of several years, until Arca Jeth discovered the Marauders' base on Voon. The Marauders ambushed the Jedi, but they were no match for the Force. However, only Jeth and a handful of other Jedi survived. Jeth returned to the Hyabb-Twith Corridor with more Jedi, and helped them scatter and eliminate the Nelroni threat. (TOJC)

Hyabb-Twith Corridor
This ancient hyperspace trade route connected the planet Hyabb and Twith. Control of the route was continually under debate, especially after the Nelroni Marauders begin plundering the planets along the Corridor.

Hydian Marauder
This pirate vessel crashed on the planet Tatooine, in the Jundland Wastes between Mos Eisley and Arnthout. (IWST)

Hydian Way
This hyperspace travel route through the galactic Core was blazed by Freia Kallea nearly three thousand years before the Galactic Civil War. The Hydian Way ran from the middle of the Core Worlds out to the Corporate Sector. It intersected the Perlemian Trade Route in the Bormea Sector, near the planet Brentaal. (SWJ5, DBPD)

Hydians Auction House
This was one of the galaxy's largest and most successful auction houses, during the years following the Alliance-Confederation War. Originally located in the city of Sah'ot, on the planet Chandrila, the primary auction house was distinguished by its Republicana architecture and decorations. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, the auction house was torn down piece-by-piece and moved to a safer location on Epica. (MF)

Hydra
This being was one of the early members of the Imperial Inquisitors, during the early months of the New Order. Those beings who met Hydra found it difficult to judge Hydra's true identity, although many believed that Hydra was female. Hydra appeared to be a short-statured, female humanoid who was distinguished by her silver eyes and close-cropper hair. She always wore a hood and cloak of maroon material that identified her as a member of the Inquisitorius.

Hydra had grown up on a backwater planet, and had been forced to live with her uncle after her parents died. Her uncle was a farmer who forced her to perform all the menial and laborious work, while he ordered her around and griped about everything. When the Clone Wars were over and Chancellor Palpatine created the Galactic Empire, Hydra realized that the struggles of her life had prepared her for a more challenging existence. She left her uncle's farm that day, and vowed to find a way to serve the Emperor and his new Empire. She made her way to Coruscant, taking on simple jobs with the Empire until she was finally noticed by Darth Vader. Vader trained her to serve as an Inquisitor, as well as using her to keep tabs on the other Inquisitors.

Hydra enjoyed the efficiency of the Empire, and put her skills to work as Vader's eyes and ears. The feeling of being important to someone only made her want to do her job better. Hydra finally attained a position of power when she took over the Head Inquisitor role that had been previously filled by Malorum, who had been her mentor for many months. Inquisitor Hydra was dispatched to Coruscant just over a year after the end of the Clone Wars, in search of mysterious man who seemed to have strange and unusual powers. This investigation was part of the larger plans of Emperor Palpatine, who wanted to locate any remaining Jedi. Although Hydra began the project by working with Sano Sauro, Sauro was soon replaced by the former Jedi Padawan Ferus Olin. Palpatine reasoned that Sauro was inappropriate for the job, since he had no connection to the Force. Hydra disliked working with Olin, since he seemed to be too compassionate for the job.

They were ordered to travel to Alderaan to investigate the presence of a Force-sensitive child there, and their mission coincided with an Imperial plot to discredit the Alderaanians and force them to accept an Imperial governor. The plot involved smuggling weapons onto Alderaan, and crediting their existence to the Alderaanian gvoernment. The Imperials hoped to use the presence of the weapons to question how a pacifist government that allowed "open rebellion" could be allowed to operate without Imperial oversight. Unknown to Hydra, Olin discovered the plot and alerted his fellow rebels to it, ensuring that Alderaan remained free of Imperial control. When Darth Vader arrived to finish the deal, he was embarrased to find that the weapons had all disappeared, and he was forced to return to Coruscant in disgrace.

When Olin was recalled to Coruscant, Inquisitor Hydra had planned to meet him there, but was ordered by Darth Vader to track down and arrest Clive Flax and Astri Oddo. The two rebels had discovered the connection between Flame and Eve Yarrow, and Vader hoped to keep them from telling anyone else about it. (LJ7, LJ8, LF9, LJ10)

Hydra
This was one of the many Imperial escort carriers during the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Hydra
This warship was one of the four Star Destroyers stationed at the Maw Installation by Grand Moff Tarkin, during the height of the New Order. The Hydra was captained by Sten Thanas, and was part of the fleet that was commanded by Admiral Daala, serving to protect the Maw Installation and the superweaons produced by the scientists who worked there. Seven years after the defeat of the Empire at the Battle of Endor, the Hydra was pressed into active duty when Admiral Daala decided to strike back against the New Republic. The Hydra was destroyed when Han Solo, Kyp Durron, and Qwi Xux tried to escape from the Maw Installation in the Sun Crusher. Han used the superweapon, with its impenetrable armor, as a missile, and rammed the Hydra's command bridge, permanently disabling the ship and causing irreparable damage to it. The Hydra was quickly drawn into the gravitic anomolies of the Maw and destroyed by the black holes. Only those fighter pilots who were flying in their TIE Fighters survived the destruction of the ship. (JS, JASB)

Hydrade was often consumed by athletes during sporting events, but it was also useful to help combat dehydration that was caused by illness. (FJ3)

Hydra-skimmer
This was another term for a hydracraft. (MC12)

Hydration Tablet
This unusual tablet was formed from specialized chemicals that created water when brought int contact with the stomach acids of most beings. Instead of drawing out moisture, hydration tablets working with the natural acids to form a temporary supply of water that could be used by the body. These tablets were found in most survival kits that were produced during the years leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. (DBPD)

Hydraulic Hammer
This form of heavy-duty construction hammer used hydraulic pressure to increase the striking power of the hammer's head. (LF9)

Hydraulic Ram
This large device used hydraulic pressure to spread apart two panels, such as a doorway or portal. Because of the size of the ram itself, it could not fit into the tiny crack between two well-sealed door panels. Thus, a hydraulic spreader was often employed to get the door open enough to insert the hydraulic ram. (RCTC)

Hydraulic Spreader
This tool used two thin blades, connected to a small hydraulic piston, to pry open a door or portal. The use of a hydraulic spreader allowed a being to open the doors enough to insert a hydraulic ram, in order to fully open the doors. (RCTC)

An atmospheric element which some species must breathe in order to survive. (TJP)

Hydropak
This was a portable water source, which could be worn on the back or chest when traveling the open. Developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, a hydropak provided the user with a way to carry a ready source of water. Although many of these were developed for military use during the Clone Wars, they were also used by explorers and athletes. (MJH)

Hydroponics Station
These self-contained units allow farmers to grow crops on planets with little or no natural atmospheric moisture. The Lars family had one on Tatooine. The hydroponics station uses very little water to grow enough crops to keep a small family continually fed, with some left over for sale to neighbors. The Lars family station was seen as a low, circular structure ringed with lights, on the fringe of their moisture farm compound. (CCG)

Hydroshovel
A fluid-powered digging utensil. (GG7)

Hydrospanner
This was the powered equivalent of a torque wrench. It used a tiny motor and pump system to apply hydraulic pressure on the mandibles, which ensured a tight fit when working with stubborn bolts. Hydrospanners were usually adjustable, allowing a single tool to be used on many sizes of nuts and bolts. A digital display at the top end of the tool provided accurate indications of torque and pressure, allowing for fine adjustment of bolts and fasteners. (E5, LCS, LF2)

Hydrospeare Corporation
This corporation was headquartered on the planet Kabaira. Many of their contracts were from the Imperial war machine. Among the products Hydrospeare produced for the Empire was the Explorer submergible. (FOP, CFG)

Hydrosphere Corporation
see Hydrospeare Corporation (RCTC)

Hydrotorpedoes were similar in many respects to the missiles used on starfighters, with the difference that the delivery vessel and payload were protected from the damaging affects of water. (GMR7)

Hydrozine
This chemical was used in many weapons systems, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TIEP)

Hyead
This was the Neimoidian word for "head." (GPB)

Hyen, Locux
This man was considered one of the Empire's most successful experiements in cybernetic bio-control. He served as Shela Jalahafi's muscle, during the subjugation of Edan II. He was also a cyborg, with a variety of cybernetic implants which augmented his abilities but left him slightly crazed. Many of his implants were unseen until he shrugged or shifted position, including a jet-pack implaneted in his back. (IAG)

Hyena Bomber
This was the slang term used to describe any Separatist vulture droid that was specifically modified for use as a bomber. These ships were first used during the invasion of the planet Ryloth, and saw widespread usage throughout the rest of the Clone Wars. Although hyena bombers were effective as strafing a stationary target, they were also useful as suicide bombers, slamming their payloads and any remaining fuel into an enemy vehicle or ship. (CWTV21, CWTV38, CWTV40)

Hyggin Mountains
Located near Somin City, on the planet Seltos, these mountains were mined by Galacticorp Mines for the precious ores they held. (TSK)

Hyko
This group of Imperial Corvettes was disabled near Orron III by a group of Alliance Y-Wings led by Keyan Farlander, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. (XW, XWP)

Hylaian Marsh Bamboo
This was a thick-growing form of bamboo. (E3N)

Hylios
This was one of the many floating cities found in the atmosphere of the planet Genarius. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, it was believed that elements of the Sith were working from a base on Hylios, in preparation for an attack on the Almas Academy. (WOTC)

Hyllyard City
This frontier town was the only major center of activity on Myrkr, during the early years of the New Republic. It was home to various smugglers, fugitives, and traders until it was garrisoned by Imperial forces some five years after the Battle of Endor. (HTTE)

Hyllyard Hotel
This was one of the few hotels found on the planet Myrkr during the early years of the New Republic. The Hyllyard Hotel served as a headquarters for the Imperial teams stationed on Myrkr during Grand Admiral Thrawn's reign of terror, some five years after the Battle of Endor. (HTTE)

Hymenoptera
This was a species of highly-evolved insectile creatures. Many xenobiologists felt that the hymenoptera was nearly sentient, as they employed a complex form of dancing as their primary method of communication. (DN1)

Hynla
This elserly Chadra-Fan served as the chief executive officer of the CarsinShare corporation, during the early years of the New Republic. He maintained a fanatical interest in the death matches staged between CarsinShare and its rival, Nonsu. (CCW)

Hyos
This Codru-Ji doctor assisted Chewbacca following the kidnap attempt on the Solo children, several years after the Battle of Endor. She was assisted by her youngest child, who was still in its wyrwulf form. Doctor Hyos had a great hunger for knowledge, and made it a point to fully study and learn the physiology of any and all races she came into contact with. This was how she came to understand the medical needs of Wookiees. (CS)

Hypeergaz
This term from the Bocce langauge translated into Basic as "hyperdrive". (GPB)

Hyper
This was a slang term used to describe the act of accelerating a ship to enter hyperspace. (XWP)

Hyper Yeast Concentrate
This liquid-nutrient solution was important in the field of bioengineering, as it could be used to quickly grow cultures. (SWG2P)

Hyperbaride
This form of cytotoxic mineral was found in small concentrations in the crust of the planet Goroth Prime, some 8,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, by a team of Corellian scouts. Goroth Prime was unique in this respect, since nearly every other terrestrial planet had no hyperbarides whatsoever in their makeups. (GSE)

Hyperbaride
This artificial material had the unique property of being able to withstand incredibly high temperatures, flux densities, and radiation levels without being damaged. This made hyperbarides a requirement in the production of heavy turbolasers as well as the immense lasers used on the Death Stars. The Empire spent a great deal of money developing and manufacturing hyperbarides, for without them the firepower of the Imperial Navy would have been greatly reduced. However, the production of hyperbarides required incredible amounts of thermal energy, and the process releases highly toxic by-products in its wake. Thus, the production of hyperbarides was often relegated to lifeless worlds or moons. The huge, powerful plants which produce these materials were almost always staffed with live workers, as the process of creating the hyperbarides produces electromagnetic waves and radiation which affects the operation of most droids. Note that Goroth: Slave of the Empire indicates that there were certain hyperbarides which occur naturally in the galaxy. (POM)

Hyperbattery
This form of battery was developed to harness the incredible energy of a planet's core. Each the size of a room, hyperbatteries store energy from which was extracted from a planet's core by immense heat exchangers. (POM)

Hyperbattery Elite
This was one of the most powerful starship weapons capacitor systems developed by Rendili StarDrive, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

HyperBolic
This was the brand name of a highly specialized, directional virtual microphone that was produced for droids some 400 years before the Clone Wars. The HyperBolic was part of a suite of auditory sensor systems that was produced by Einblatz/Docker, and was often matched with sophisticated sonographic analysis software and ultrahigh-fidelity autitory pickups. (YDR)

Hypercoil
This hyperdrive component was used to condense energy for transmission to the hyperdrive motivator. (OS)

Hypercomet
This was the term used to describe any cometary body that produced a large enough gravity shadow that it affected hyperspace as well as realspace. (NECH)

Hyper-Communications Cartel
This organization was formed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during the build-up to the Clone Wars, as a Separatist-controlled version of the HoloNet. Po Nudo was placed in charge of the cartel, after he helped push his homeworld of Ando to join the Separatists. (VD3)

Hypercondenser
This was one of the massive water reclamation systems that ensured the residents of the planet Coruscant had a regular supply of water. These massive units, built of duralumin so that they were light in weight by incredibly strong, used supercooled Tibanna gas to condense water out of the air. The water was collected in storage tanks, where it could be drawn off and purify for use in the planet's plumbing systems, or it could be piped to remote locations to ensure that there was sufficient water for use in weather control. (CN2)

Hyper-dejarik
This form of the hologame dejarik was played at near-frantic speeds, requiring the players to have lightning-fast reactions. (SWJ12)

HyperDive Cantina
This rowdy and unruly bar was located within the Fathoms restaurant complex, situated in the Glitter Cay Tower of Wildwater City on Calamari. Patrons of the bar entered through a dark tunnel, which was set with imbedded lights that flashed to make a being feel as if they were moving through hyperspace. Upon entering the cantine proper, patrons found themselves walking in nearly a meter of water. Every table and chair in the Cantina was bolted to the floor, and raised sufficiently to keep drinks out of the water. (WSV)

Hyperdrive
This was the generic term used to describe the starship engine and its components which allowed the ship to travel at supralight speeds through hyperspace. It worked with the ship's navigational computer to ensure that any direction and course changes necessary to maneuver through hyperspace were executed without encountering gravity shadows. Most hyperdrives required a fusion generator to propel a ship through space. The hyperdrive was built from a titanium-chromium compound that could withstand the forces needed to push through the space-time fabric of realspace into the hyperspacial continuum. The hyperdrive used modified gamma radiation to create electromagnetic energy that, when ejected from the hyperdrive, caused the realspace time-space matrix to ripple. The hyperdrive continued to eject electromagnetic energy to push against these ripples, propelling the ship into hyperspace. However, the hyperdrive system could only work in the near-absense of gravity. This meant that a ship had to escape from a planet's gravity well before it could jump into hyperspace. Each hyperdrive system was equipped with a cutoff which returned the ship to realspace if a gravity well was discovered in an unspecified location. This principle allowed for the of gravity-well generators - such as those used on the Imperial Interdictor-class cruiser - as a way to drag starships out of hyperspace at a specific location. It was rumored that the hyperdrive was invented eons ago by a space-faring race from outside the known galaxy. When this race encountered the known galaxy, shortly before the formation of the Old Republic, it first came upon the Corellian System. There, the aliens sold the secrets of the hyperdrive to the Corellians, who studied it for decades before producing their first, working hyperdrive. Interstellar exploration and unification began in earnest. After about 20 years, the Corellians began selling their ideas to other star systems, and a huge galactic community was born, which later evolved into the Old Republic. The presence of planetary repulsors inside each of the Corellian System's planets seemed to indicate that there was a more technologically-advanced civilization in the system at some point in its history. Further investigation by xenoarchaeologists during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy revealed that the hyperdrive was not directly related to the planetary repulsors. The repulsors had been installed by the Architects during the earliest known habitation of the galaxy. The hyperdrive wasn't invented until the Rakatan Empire rose to power, some 30,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. The Rakata developed their hyperdrive in order to allow them to conquer other planets, which led to the formation of the Rakatan Empire. However, when the Rakata people died out, all first-hand knowledge of their hyperdrive died with them. Human and Duros slaves in the Corellian System and the Tion Cluster, now freed from their masters, reverse-engineered the Rakatan hyperdrive and developed their own version of the technology. Hyperdrives were grouped according to their ability to exceed the speed of light, and ware categorized by classes. The lower the class number, the faster the hyperdrive could propel the ship. For example, the Millennium Falcon could make ".5 past lightspeed," an indication that it had a Class .5 hyperdrive. This class was considered twice as fast as Class 1 hyperdrive, and could attain speeds of 127 light-years per hour. Note that Dark Force Rising indicates that .5 was faster than .45, which seems to contradict this description of relative speed. Interestingly enough, although a hyperdrive needs a near-absence of gravity in which to operate, any open area of space that lacked at least some form of matter was also to be avoided. In these areas, where there was no resistance on the ship's shields, a hyperdrive could operate at such incredible levels that it could literally tear itself apart. Thus, starship owners often had to recalibrate their hyperdrives on a regular basis, to account for the areas of space in which they traveled most often. (E4, E5, SWSB, DFR, TT, IG1, GOF1, LCS, NECH)

Hyperdrive
This electric organ quartet was led by Moritz Nor, and was popular in the Cularin System during the final years of the Old Republic. (JST1)

Hyperdrive Actuation Diode
This small component of a starship's hyperdrive was instrumental in the acceleration from sublight speeds to supralight speeds. (SL)

Hyperdrive Cantina
This bar was located on Vorusku. (IOT)

Hyperdrive Compensator
This was part of a starship's hyperdrive unit, and was the key component in slowing the ship down safely enough to re-enter realspace. (MIS2)

Hyperdrive Field Guide
This was the name of the specialized metal poles used to channel the energy produced by a hyperdrive, allowing it to propel a starship into hyperspace. (FP)

Hyperdrive Generator
This was an outdated form of hyperdrive motivator, found in widespread use during the era of the Great Galactic War. (SV)

Hyperdrive Motivator
The starship component which was responsible for building up the energies necessary to propel a ship into hyperspace. The hyperdrive motivator creates an electromagnetic field around a starship, and then projects that field into hyperspace. Once in hyperspace, the hyperdrive motivator employs trilithium crystals to propel the ship through the continuum. When the ship's destination was reached, the hyperdrive motivator projects the ship's field back into realspace and cuts the trilithium drive. (E5, SCRE, GG6)

Hyperdrive Ring
This device provided small starships with a burst of speed that allowed them to enter hyperspace with more ease than an onboard hyperdrive. The ring was attached to the ship, carrying it through hyperspace until it reached its destination. It could then be disengaged for intra-system flight. Two powerful hyperdrive engines were mounted at opposite sides of the ring, providing the ring with its propulsion system. Hypermatter was allowed to move within the ring itself, accelerating to incredible speeds before being used to propel the combined vessels into hyperspace. This hypermatter also provided ballast to equalize the ring after a starfighter was attached to it. (TCG1, E2N, X3)

Hyperdrive Shunt
This device was a key part of a starship's hyperdrive. It allowed excess heat and power to be bled off before it could damage the hyperdrive itself. (DA)

Hyperdrive Sled
Similar to the hyperdrive ring, a hyperdrive sled was used to assist in propelling a small starship into hyperspace. These devices were one of the common upgrades added to Cloakshape fighters, which lacked a hyperdrive as originally produced. A hyperdrive sled was bolted to the exterior of a fighter, but did not affect the ship's maneuverability. (NEGV, SSOG)

Hyperdust
This was a slang term, used when outrunning an opponent and reaching hyperspace, as in, "Eat my hyperdust." (COJ)

Hyperfoil 1000
This vehicle, produced by the Civil Aeronautics division of Tion Industries, was part speeder and part hovercraft. At fifteen meters in length, it used hover engines and repulsorlifts for vertical takeoffs and landings. A system of repulsors provided lateral thrust, while the hover engines provided a smoother ride over rough surfaces. (GFT)

Hyperfoil 1000-XTC
This was the latest version of Tion Industries' hybrid speeder vehicle, based on the original Hyperfoil 1000 design. By mixing standard repulsorlift technology with hovercraft capabilities, the Hyperfoil 1000-XTC was able to take off and land vertically, and had a flight ceiling of fifty meters. The Hyperfoil 1000-XTC measured seven meters in length, and could accommodate up to three beings and 100 kilograms of cargo. (AEG)

Hypergate
This development of Gree technology was considered to be unique in the galaxy. Resembling a doorframe or archway, the hypergate was controlled by a Gree gatemaster. At the activation of the gatemaster, a hypergate could be used to transport a being from its current position to another terminus, which was itself another hypergate. This remote hypergate could be in the next town or several planets away. In essense, these were personal transportation devices, and would have reduced the role of starships in the galaxy if the ability to create and maintain them hadn't been lost over time. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, just a handful of hypergates existed, all within the Gree Enclave. (SWJ8)

Hypergem
This unusual gemstone was noted for its incredible rarity. Each hypergem was formed by the gravitational forces of a neutron star, and was distinguished by its diamond-like brilliant. However, hypergems were forged from a crystalline lattice that actually reached into more than three dimensions, making them all but impossible to understand for most races. Only a few species, such as the Falleen, were capable of delving into the higher dimensions without experiencing any ill effects. Most species went fatally insane when pondering the psychechronic hallucinations caused by hypergem. Even the Falleen were not totally immune to the gem's effects, and prolonged exposure often led to mental illness. A side effect of the powers of a hypergem was the emission of tachyonic particles, and individual hypergems could be tracked by their tachyon emissions. (CN1)

Hypergleanum
This gland, located in the brain of many humanoid races, produces chemicals which help the brain understand sensory input. (CFG)

Hypergun
This was another name for a hypervelocity gun. (BTS)

HyperGym
This was the brand name of a line of personal exercise equipment. (POM)

Hyperion
This was one of the many Imperial escort carriers destroyed by Alliance forces during the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Hyperion
This was one of the most powerful starship engine systems produced by Rendili StarDrive, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Hyperlane
This was a generic term used to describe any known pathway through hyperspace. (LEV)

Hypermatter
This material, which essentially existed only in hyperspace but could be harnessed in realspace, was used in the huge reactor cores which powered the first Death Star. Composed of tachyon particles, hypermatter was first discovered some fifty years before the Battle of Yavin, when Raith Sienar and his Advanced Projects team began working with a kilometer-wide ball of plasma contained within an implosion core. Sienar's designs were eventually usurped by Wilhuff Tarkin and used to create the first Death Star. Smaller versions were developed for use aboard Star Destoyers.

The tachyons that made up hypermatter could be charged and constrained in realspace, creating what was essentially a near-limitless source of energy. However, the reactors that contained hypermatter were very sensitive, and any damage to the reactor often set off a chain reaction that quickly led to the reactor's explosion. The explosion released the hypermatter tachyons into realspace, ionizing any matter in the blast radius and literally boiling it into gas. (ICS, RP, DSTR)

Hyper-matter Reactor
This type of massive power generated was first put to large-scale used by the Empire, which installed a hyper-matter reactor within the core of the first Death Star. By constraining hypermatter tachyons in the realm of realspace, engineers were able to harness huge amounts of energy, which was used to power the space station's propulsion and weapons systems. The use of hyper-matter energy in the Death Star's superlaser was discovered to have added a boost in energy that caused anything that was struck by the laser to be shifted almost immediately into hyperspace. This effect was evident when the planet Alderaan was destroyed. The explosion was followed by a ring-shaped burst of hyperspatial distortion that spread outward from the center of the blast. (DSTR)

Hypermedia Galactic News Service
This was an Outer Rim newsfeed that reported on planetary events. (SWJ5)

Hypernova
This mid-level starship booster system was produced by Novaldex during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Hyperpaint
This was a specialized form of paint used on swoops and speederbikes. It was designed to provide a striking finish to a vehicle as well as endure the scouring those vehicles took at high speeds. (WSV)

Hyper-rapture
This was the common term used to describe the loss of sanity that was believed to occur if a being were to stare out of the viewports of a starship that was moving through hyperspace. No cases of hyper-rapture were ever officially documented, but it was said that any being who stared too long at the miasma of light and color experienced during hyperspace travel could lapse into madness. (DSTR)

Hyper-rifle
This specialty blaster rifle was produced by Fallann, during the height of the New Order. (SWGAL)

Hyperroute
This was a generic term used to describe any known pathway through hyperspace. (NECH)

Hypersheers
This specialized tool was used in the manufacture of droids. (CCC)

Hypershunt
This song, written and played by the band Starburst, first appeared on the compilation StakeOut. (GG9)

Hypersonic Bubble
This was a form of sound-deadening technology that was often found in bars and cantinas. Hypersonic bubbles were used to block out the loud music and conversation that was often encountered at bars, allowing patrons in adjoining rooms to talk amongst themselves without shouting at each other. (CN2)

Hypersound Speakers
This form of loudspeaker was developed to allow for a wide range of audio frequencies to be reproduced, allowing any number of races to hear in their natural frequency range. (MBS)

Hyperspaaze
This word from the Bocce language translated into Basic as "hyperspace." (GPB)

Hyperspace
This was one of the many restaurants and taverns that were established on Yag'Dhul's space station after Rogue Squadron took control of it. The Hype, as it was known, had good food and a bright decor. (BW)

Hyperspace
Scientifically known as the hyperspacial continuum, this was a dimension of the space-time continuum that could only be reached at speeds in excess of the speed of light. It transcended the four normal dimensions of length, width, depth, and time, and was analogous to a dimension that "floated" above them. The exact nature of hyperspace was one of the galaxy's greatest mysteries. The existence of hyperspace was first discovered by the ancient Rakata people, many millennia before the formation of the Old Republic. The Rakata were found to have been the first people to develop a working system to launch a ship into hyperspace, a system that would later be called the hyperdrive.

The direction that a starship traveled in realspace was similar to the route it would travel in hyperspace. The ability to enter and exit hyperspace allowed space travelers to "jump" from a specific point in realspace to another point in realspace without having to travel directly between them. Thus, hyperspace corresponded almost directly with realspace, and any point in realspace had a matching point in hyperspace. Physical bodies in realspace also existed in hyperspace, but as "gravity shadows" of themselves. This meant that any ship traveling through hyperspace could still encounter devastating problems if it tried to fly through a location that was occupied by a physical body in realsapce, requiring that pilots perform complex navigational computations before entering hyperspace, in order to provide their starships with accurate indications of the velocity, direction, and in-course adjustments needed to get from one point to another. The higher mathematics of these calculations led to the developed of navigational computers, which could access databases of information on the positions and orbits of nearly every planet, moon, and star in the galaxy, in order to accurately map out a hyperspace journey.

The re-discovery of a working hyperdrive by the humans and Duros who had been enslaved by the Rakata heralded the beginning of the formation of the Old Republic. When travel through the hyperspacial continuum was discovered to be relatively safe, technology evolved at a rapid pace, and it soon became an integral part of the normal life of the galaxy. It was also learned that a starship traveling through hyperspace built up a tachyon charge as it moved. This tachyon charge was not released until the starship re-entered realspace. The Yuuzhan Vong discovered a way to use a bio-engineered spore to free these tachyon particles while in hyperspace, giving them a way to track the movements of a ship through hyperspace by simply following the tachyon trail.

While it was generally accepted that the galaxy was just one of a multitude of galaxies that existed in the universe, it was discovered that a massive hyperspacial disturbance surrounded the galaxy and prevented a starship from travelling beyond its boundaries. The disturbance was formed by the gravitic ripples created by galactic masses, similar in many respects to the mass shadows created in hyperspace by moons and planets. This theory was challenged when the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy, and their ships seemed capable of hyperspace travel across the gulf between galaxies. Doctor Soron Hegerty proposed that the disturbance was formed of globs of "dark matter" that interacted only with gravity and forced starships to exit hyperspace when they encountered it.

Doctor Hegerty's theory was that one glob - more than likely the size of a small galaxy - had begun to pass through the known galaxy, opening a hole in the disturbance and allowing the Yuuzhan Vong to enter. It was later learned that the Yuuzhan Vong had traveled between galaxies over the course of many generations, moving at sublight speeds in their worldships.

Traveling through the hyperspacial continuum was generally considered safe, due to the millennia-old development and refinement of starship hyperdrive systems. Note that the decoded version of Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Jedi Crash indicates that ships traveling through hyperspace moved at velocities more than a hundred million times the speed of light. However, many beings felt uncomfortable while in hyperspace, and looking out at the swirling patterns of multi-colored light that existed outside a starship's viewports often caused headaches and nausea in those who had not experienced supra-light travel. There were even rumors of the so-called "hyper-rapture", in which beings simply went insane from staring into the lights of hyperspace for too long.

Hyperspace
This was the name of Elam's pet, which he kept in his apartment on Taris some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (KOTOR)

Hyperspace Communications
A transmission method that allows message-bearing signals to be send into hyperspace for quicker transmission. (HSE)

Hyperspace compass
A navigation computer component which determines a starship's spatial coordinates. (DE1)

Hyperspace Courier Tube
A coffin-sized device which was used to transport a shipment through hyperspace without the need for a starship. (DA)

Hyperspace Envelope
This was the term used to describe the field that surrounded a starship as its hyperdrive powered up and launched the ship into hyperspace. This hyperspace envelope protected the ship from the ravages of hyperspace, and ensured that all sections of the ship were propelled through hyperspace at the same rate. Some starship pilots could take advantage of the properties of the hyperspace envelope and attach smaller ships or objects to their hulls, dragging the other ship with them into hyperspace. (LSSM)

Hyperspace Integrator
This starship hyperdrive component was located on the most foreward edge of a starship's hull, and provided the ability to penetrate the barrier between realspace and hyperspace. (ICS)

Hyperspace Jump Pod
This was Arakyd's vehicle for delivering Viper probe droids to a specific location. It could be programmed with a single set of hyperspace coordinates, and was disposable. (FTD)

Hyperspace Marauder
This was the name of Lo Khan's modified Xiytiar-class transport ship. Considering its use as a smuggling ship, it wasn't very fast, and was unarmed for a long time. This was the way Lo Khan liked it, or at least that's what he told his comrades. He later added increased shielding and beefed up the hull strength, although he kept primarily to the best-known shipping lanes to avoid being ambushed. If he ever was ambushed, Lo Khan had installed a unique computer and communications system that allowed him to access his attacker's shipboard computers. The attackers would suddenly find that they can't control their own ship, let alone the Hyperspace Marauder, which put Lo Khan in a great bargaining position. After the emergence of the cloned Emperor Palpatine on Byss and the reappearance of Han Solo on nar Shadda, Lo Khan added a pair of 700 Penetrator laser cannons for defense. (DE1, DESB, DE2, SWDB)

Hyperspace Navigator's Guild
This ancient guild was responsible for the discovery, cataloguing, and availability of hyperspace routes. It was originally founded on the planet Empress Teta, in a mansion in Cinnagar owned by wealthy nobles. The Guild's membership was made up of daring explorers who braved the unknowns of deep space to find quicker ways to get from one major trade center to another. Once a new route was discovered, the right to use the route was sold by the guild, with a percentage of the royalties going to pay the explorers which found it. The Guild existed without major change for many millennia, until the institution of the New Order. The Empire then raided the Guild's computers, stealing information on hyperspace travel routes from the Deep Core to the Unknown Regions. (GAS, PH)

Hyperspace Navi-rod
This technology was required for most astromech droids, providing them with the computing power to determine hyperspace jump coordinates swiftly. (PZZ1)

Hyperspace Orbiting Scanner
Developed by Geothray Camber and implemented by Doctor Lindu Sencker and his team, this device was designed to allow the Empire to eavesdrop into virtually any computer system in the galaxy. When stationed in a hyperspace orbit near a planet, the HOS actively monitored the hyperspace shadows left by the electrons flowing through computer networks. The HOS was programmed to understand the multitude of intergalactic programming languages, and deciphered the shadows into recognizable system commands. When used in conjunction with the communications advanced proposed for the Imperial CompLink, the HOS boasted a 78% success rate at collecting reliable information on more than 470,000 planets across the galaxy. (ISB)

Hyperspace Pulsemass Generator
This grandly-named Imperial weapon was often referred to in more simple terms as a pebblespreader. Its primary function was to create and scatter tiny spheres of hyperenergy into an area of space. These spheres, much like the fields produced by gravity well projectors, blocked a ship's ability to travel through hyperspace near them. The problem with these devices was that the tiny hyperenergy spheres dissipated their energy quickly, limiting the effective duration of the blockade. (ISB)

Hyperspace Ring
This was another name for a hyperdrive ring. (CWVG)

Hyperspace Roamer
A cargo ship given permission to make the Byss Run during the rise of Palpatine's second clone there. The Hyperspace Roamer was cleared to land at port tower Tarkin-12 just before Shug Ninx and Salla Zend arrived to try and recover Salla's ship. (DE2)

Hyperspace Transponder
This device served as the basis for hyperspace communication. Although it was developed to send out weak pulses of energy which contained a message, these transponders were not very reliable. (DE1, PH)

Hyperspace Tunnel
This was the term used by many pilots to describe the tube-like appearance of hyperspace, as a ship moved through it. The odd lights and flashes observed while in hyperspace seemed to swirl around a starship's vector, giving hyperspace the appearance of a tunnel. (CWYN)

Hyperspace War
A devastating war which took place thousands of years before the Jedi Assembly on Deneba, it was alluded to by Shatoyo. It was a great battle between the Light and Dark Sides of the Force. Is this any different than the Great Hyperspace War, aside from the timing? (DLS)

Hyperspace Wormhole
This was a natural phenomenon in which suddenly connects two positions in the galaxy via a tunnel through hyperspace. The wormhole was accompanied by huge energy storms. These wormholes often occured just after large disturbances in the Force. Several hyperspace wormholes were known to have extended durations, and often were used as a conduit for faster-than-light transmissions. (DE1, MJH)

Hyperspacial Continuum
This was the scientific name for hyperspace. (E4, SWSB, DTO, SBS, FH3, NECH, DSTR)

Hyperspaze and the Jump Lanes
This musical group toured the galaxy during the height of the New Order, playing music that was as popular as it was controversial. They were eventually banned by the Empire. Much of their music was inspired by the raw emotion and intense drive of the Alliance agents they encountered while touring the Outer Rim. (HR)

Hyperspeed Express
This interplanetary shipping operation was based in New Nystao, on the planet Wayland, during the years following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, some five years after the Battle of Endor. (WOA29)

Hyperthruster
This was one of the most powerful starship booster systems produced by Cygnux SpaceWorks, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Hypertrain
This was the term used to describe the high-velocity trains that were used to transport beings and cargo across Coruscant's Galactic City. Operating in sealed tubes that provided a near-perfect vacuum, these mag-lev trains could attain speeds near 2,000 kilometers per hour. In order to protect passengers, hypertrains were equipped with inertial dampers and other technology to minimize the effects of such rapid speeds. Despite the possible problems with high g-forces, hypertrains allowed beings to travel an eighth of the way around the entire planet in just under three hours. (CN1)

Hypertransceiver
This hyperspace communications device was similar to a dedicated HoloNet terminal, but much less expensive. It allowed a starship to send and receive real-time audio and video transmissions while travelling through hyperspace. (SWRPG)

Hypertron 2000
This was a mid-level starship reactor core that was produced by Slayn & Korpil during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Hypertron 4000
This was the most powerful starship reactor core that was produced by Slayn & Korpil during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Hypervelocity Gun
This planetary defense weapon used a huge powerplant to drive a firing mechanism. In most situations, the powerplant was buried underground, as were the weapon's ray- and particle-shield generators. This substructure supported the weapon during firing, when it blasted super-accelerated slugs at its target. The HVG could fire up to 120 slugs per minute, in between shield bursts. The slugs could penetrate ray shielding, and could make quick work of most particle shields. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, the Empire built several hypervelocity guns into orbital space stations, providing the weapons with additional mobility. (BTS, LAWS)

Hypervortex
This was one of the more powerful starship reactor cores produced by Slayn & Korpil during the height of the New Order. The Hypervortex reactor built upon the design of the moderately successful Vortex Mk1 reactor. (SWG2P)

Hyperware
Generic term that was used to describe the starship systems that allow the ship to transition from sublight drive to hyperdrive. (LCF)

Hyperwave Antenna
This specialized communications antenna allowed a starship's crew to send and receive messages via hyperspace. (GMR10)

Hyperwave Inertial Momentum Sustainer
Abbreviated HIMS, this device was developed on Bakura, during the years following the Battle of Endor. In its simplest form, this was a specially-built hyperspace coil that could shut itself on and off. When the device detected an interdiction field or other false mass-line in hyperspace, it could shut down a starship's hyperdrive, dropping the ship out of hyperspace. Immediately upon entering realspace, a static hyperwave bubble generator in-line with the HIMS ignited, surrounding the ship with a hyperspace bubble. The bubble allowed the ship to remain in hyperspace, while moving forward with any remaining momentum. The bubble did not provide thrust, just a way of passing through the interdiction field. Thus, the ship could pass through the interdiction field by coasting inside the bubble as it moved through the field.

This hyperspace bubble was not permanent, but remained in place only until it could no longer sustain istelf. When the bubble failed, the hyperdrive came back on-line. Shipboard systems then registered the existence of the interdiction field, causing the HIMS to fire again and protect the ship. If enough hyperspace bubble generators were linked to a starship's hyperspace coil, the ship could drift deep into the interdiction field, popping bubbles as it moved forward. During this time, the ship would appear to flicker in and out of hyperspace. The momentum of the ship would slowly diminish until it lacked enough speed to jump back to hyperspace. At this time, the HIMS could be shut down, and the ship's sublight engines could be brought on-line to provide thrust. (AS, SWDB)

Hyperwave Link
This was the generic term used to describe any interstellar communication that employed hyperwave technology to send messages through hyperspace. (DOG)

Hyperwave Repeater
This was the name given to a dedicated hyperwave communications system that picked up incoming signals and boosted them, allowing for potential retransmission to downstream nodes. These devices allowed remote planets to receive HoloNet transmissions in near-real times, despite their distance from Coruscant and the rest of the galaxy. (RDV)

Hyperwave Signal Interceptor
These sensory devices, developed by Imperial scientists and referred to as HSIs, were used to detect fluctuations in the field that separated realspace from the hyperspacial continuum. These fluctuations were known to be caused when a starship entered or exited hyperspace, and so these sensors could be used to determine the mass, speed, and course of the starship. They could not, however, determine the ship's point of origin or destination. These sensors also detected subspace and hyperspace transmissions. (ISB)

Hyperwave Transceiver
This form of communications satellite was used to send transmissions through hyperspace, allowing for near-realtime communications from one side of the galaxy to the other. These satellites were scattered throughout hyperspace itself, and formed the communications network used by the HoloNet. (SSOG)

Hyperwave Transmitter
This was a form of starship radio device that transmitted its signal across hyperspace. (SWI64)

Hype-season
During the era of the New Order, this term was used to describe the annual period when holo-feature producers released their blockbuster holovids to the general public. Hype-season coincided with the major holidays of many planets, especially those of the Core Worlds, when the majority of beings were taking vacations and many children were out of school. (SS, OWS)

Hypnocane
A pain-killing drug that also helps doctors soothe a patient by inducing a semi-hypnotic trance state. (COJ)

Hypnogazer
This was a form of medical device that could place a being into a hypnotic state, allowing a doctor or law enforcement agent to question them about their past. Many bounty hunters managed to obtain hypnogazers on the black market, and used them to compel other beings to do their bidding. (CWTV25)

Hypno-imprinting
This was an ancient form of brainwashing in which a subject was placed under hypnosis and imprinted with certain traits and commands. The Survivors on Dellalt used this technique to keep the members of their small society from leaking information about their existence. (HSL)

Hypo-driver
This thin tool was required for any landspeeder repairs. (POT)

Hypo-injector
This was a generic term used to describe any thin, hollow needle and the connected system that forced drugs or medicine through the needle and into the flesh of a living being. (DN3)

Hypori
This planet, covered with rock-strewn landmasses broken by small oceans, was located near Geonosis. It was a world that was found to be rich in natural minerals and ores, which appealed to the Baktoid Armor Workshop as a source of raw material. The fact that Hypori supported no intelligent life made it easier for Baktoid to simply take ownership of the planet. In a bold move, Baktoid managed to ship an entire Geonosian hive to Hypori, allowing them to establish a colony on the planet for eventual use as a manufacturing facility. The foundries of Hypori augmented those of Geonosis after the onset of the Clone Wars, until the planet was discovered nearly three years later by Jedi Master Daakman Barrek and his Padawan, Sha'a Gi. A task force was dispatched to Hypori by the Jedi Council and the Army of the Republic, but it was smashed by General Grievous before it could reach the surface. (SWDB, CWC2)

Hypospray
This drug was used by the Ssi-ruuk to hypnotize their captives. (TB)

Hypospray
This small, medical device was developed during the years leading up to the Clone Wars to inject drugs and medicines into the bloodstream of an individual being. Use of hyposprays continued for many decades, and hyposprays were still common following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. (LF8, CWN)

Hypotria
This planet was located in the Lifh Sector, and served as the base of operations for the crimelord Qa'till during the height of the New Order. (CRO)

Hyra
This city was located on the planet Kamori. (SWJ5)

Hyrol Preen Beta
This planet, located in Portmoak Sector, was "purified" by the Empire with the use of a battalion of ZQ infantry droids and Storm Commandos. It was rumored that the Empire destroyed Hyrol Preen Beta because of suspected Alliance activity. When they couldn't capture the rebels outright, the Imperials wiped out the settlements on the planet in order to prevent the Alliance from returning. (FTD)

Hyrotii Engineering
This corporation manufactured a number of starships and repulsorlift vehicles, such as the Zebra short-range fighter and the Coruscant taxi. (EGV, SWDB)

Hyrotil Corporation
This starship manufacturer was known for the Crescent-class transport ship. Note that this seems to be a misnaming of the Hyrotii Engineering corporation. (SS, CRO)

Hyrum
This man served as a maintenance supervisor aboard a bulk freighter. To assist him, the captain used an EV-series supervisory droid, but the droid's faulty programming caused it to mistreat the ship's droid pool. Before Hyrum could acquire an EV-II droid to replace it, an aggressive astromech droid grew tired of the EV's domination and forced it out of an airlock. (FTD)

Hyst, Rachalt
This female Snivvian was known to have betrayed her loved ones, only to have her treachery discovered. Her surviving relatives stranded her on the desert world of Tatooine and left her to die. Distraught over her own failures, Rachal Hyst spent most of her life in a stupor at the Mos Eisley cantina. (CCG12)

Hy'thor Pirates
This pirate gang, led by the Nalroni Ompiach, operated during the early years of the New Order. They raided the Mieru'kar area of the galaxy almost exclusively, primarily because the pickings were so good. (AIR)

Hythrope IV
It was on this planet that Airen Cracken first met Vin Northal, when Northal saved Cracken's assault team from a stormtrooper ambush. (CRO)

Hy'tras
This was one of the five races of Shatra, native only to the Klypash continent on Trascor. They were the second-most common of the Shatra races, but accounted for just one-tenth of the total Shatra population, and rejected technology to maintain a simple way of life. They turned all their wealth over to the Y'tras race in exchange for their isolation. (AE)

Hyx, Daino
This member of the Alliance armed forces was part of the team assigned to Bria Tharen's Red Hand Squadron. He was with Bria when she attacked the Helot's Shackle, and was in charge of getting the freed slaves off the slave ship and onto the Retribution. Hyx was a scholar at an Alderaanian university, and studied the treatment of addictions. He put shi schooling to work for the Alliance and the Corellian resistance, quickly discovering a way to ease the withdrawal of Ylesian "pilgrims" who were freed from Exultations. He later assisted Bria in the Battle of Ylesia, leading one of the nine assault teams. (RD)

H'zish
This Charon was one of the many members of the splinter group known as the Cult of Light. (UANT)
