During the era of the New Order, the Imperial 501st was known for its fanatic adherence to the pro-human stance of the Emperor, a trait that manifested itself in their combat training and the efficiency with which they executed their orders. The unit was eventually assigned to guard the prison facilities aboard the first Death Star during its construction. After appearing unprepared for a prison break, the 501st was split up and sent on a variety of missions to hunt down the spies who stole the Death Star plans. This resulted in the 501st surviving the Battle of Yavin, allowing the unit to continue its service to the Empire.

In the wake of the Battle of Endor, the 501st Legion was split up among the various Imperial warlords. The majority of the 501st eventually became part of the military forces of the Empire of the Hand, at least in name, several years after the Battle of Yavin. The legion was reformed by Admiral Voss Parck, although it was reborn with the beliefs and tenets of the Empire of the Hand. Even the anti-alien sentiment of the old unit was gone, especially after the Eickarie known as Su-mil joined the Aurek-Seven unit.

The 501st continued to serve the Empire throughout the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy and the decades that followed, and remained one of the Empire's most elite units, as befitted their company motto: "First on the ground and last to leave." Command of the 501st legion was eventually transferred to Bastion, which became the capital planet of the galaxy when the Fel dynasty took control of the Empire. The leadership of the 501st, including General Oron Jaeger, remained loyal to the Fel Empire after Darth Krayt took control of the galaxy in the name of the Sith, and bided their time until the Fels returned to power.

A round probe droid used by Trioculus to penetrate Yavin 4's defense network and search for the Lost City of the Jedi. It was equipped with a holoprojector and a remote detonation system. (LCJ)

Imperial Arena
This swoop racing arena was located on the planet Coruscant, during the early years of the New Republic. Orignally built during the reign of Emperor Palpatine, the arena was one of the few facilities that was not renamed in the wake of the Battle of Endor. (DFRSB, OWS)

Imperial Armored Transport
Designed and manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards, this starship was a precursor to the Imperial Star Galleon. It measured fifty meters in length, and required a crew of ten to operate. The Armored Transport could carry up to twenty passengers or troops, with up to 30,000 metric tons of cargo. The usual armament of this ship was a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons. Despite its size and armor plating, it was often escorted by a convoy of ships for protection. (PP)

Imperial Arms
This Imperial manufacturer produced a wide vareity of small blaster weapons, like the 22T4 holdout blaster, for use by the Empire's agents. (GG9)

Imperial Army
This was the ground-based branch of the Imperial armed forces. Like the Imperial Navy, the Imperial Army was formed when the Grand Army of the Republic completed its duties during the Clone Wars, and the Old Republic was reformed into the Galactic Empire. The mainstay of the GAR, the clone troopers, were rechristened as stormtroopers, although they maintained their signature white armor. Like the GAR, the Imperial Army was arrayed in an ever-expanding collection of units, as described by the Order of Battle. (ISB)

Imperial Army
This was a term used to describe the combined military forces of the Sith Empire, during the era of the Great Galactic War. (TOP1)

Imperial Assassin
This class of mercenary was awarded Imperial license to hunt down specific targets, while remaining outside the control of the armed forces. There were several grades of assassin recognized by the Empire, based on skills and dependability. These assassins allowed the Empire to eliminate certain targets without raising public outrage. (HM)

Imperial Assault Armor
This form of body armor was developed by the Empire for its commando units. While offering protection against various forms of projectile weapons and other kinetic attacks, this armor was susceptible to blaster fire. (SWGAL)

Imperial Assault Gunship
This variation on the Lambda-class shuttle was used by the Imperial Navy as a gunboat, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. However, instead of an upright tailfin and two movable wings, the Assault Gunship had a single pair of tailfins, one atop the hull and one on the bottom. Each of these fins originated near the midsection of the ship, running along the centerline and growing steadily taller. The sides of the fuselage extended out from the main ship, accommodating a turret-mounted gun on the port side and additional power systems on the starboard side. A pair of chin-mounted laser cannons provided the primary weaponry, while three turret-mounted guns provided additional firepower and defensive capability. (SWGAL)

Imperial Atrisian Grenadiers
This unit was a branch of the Atrisian Assault Corps. (ROE)

Imperial Ballet Company
The galaxy's foremost troupe of ballet dancers, stationed on Coruscant. (RPG)

Imperial Bank of Coruscant
One of the largest financial institutions that sprang up after the onset of the New Order. (TPS)

Imperial Biological Research Center
These complexes were built by the Empire on those worlds where the flora and fauna presented opportunities for exploitation. Where mineral resources were simply strip-mined, living resources were studied and dissected to determine their usefulness. Research in these facilities, such as the one found on the planet Najarka, was top-secret. (TA)

Imperial Biological Weapons Division
This branch of the Empire was charged with discovering ways to use biological weapons, such as viruses and diseases as well as new forms of life, to attack and eliminate opposing peoples or cultures. It was believed that this unit was behind the development of the strange contagion that wiped out the beings aboard the Imperial Prison Barge Purge, which experienced engine trouble and tried to salvage parts from a Star Destroyer that had been abandoned in the Unknown Regions. The Star Destroyer's crew had been wiped out when the contagion broke out of a research lab, and the salvage crew carried it back to the Purge. The contagion was designed to be self-replicating, taking control of its host in order to create movre and more of itself. To facilitate this, the contagion could actually re-animate the dead body of the host it had killed. (GOF3, SWDT)

Imperial Biological Welfare Division
This branch of the Empire was a cover for the Biological Weapons Division. The Biological Welfare Division claimed to be working to ensure that species weren't decimated by diseases. (GOF3)

Imperial Bioweapons Project I71A
Codenamed Blackwing, this project was developed by the Imperial Biological Weapons Division, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. The project, secretly funded by the Empire, was begun at a hidden research laboratory on Meglumine, until all research and development was carried out within the confines of a single Star Destroyer that was deployed to the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. The use of a Star Destroyer that was sent to the farthest reaches of the galaxy was as much an attempt to keep the project secret as it was a safety mechanism that was meant to prevent any unexpected problems from causing trouble on a planet or other world. The focus of this project was on the development of a contagion that was nearly always fatal, yet could continue to multiply and recreate more of itself even after the death of its host. The contagion was developed to quickly reproduce once it had found a suitable host, yet remain largely dormant until it had produced sufficient numbers that it could overtake its host without any possible chance of recovery by the host. Initially, the host exhibited a hacking cough, which was soon followed by seizures and vomiting. Within a few hours, the host's lungs began to fail, and the host died shortly afterward. Although the symptoms were similar in most humanoid races, there were species-specific differences. Wookiees, for example, experienced a massive swelling of the throat and tongue, which contintued until the host's throat burst open, cutting off the Wookiee's ability to breath. For these reasons, development of project I71A was halted on a laboratory on Meglumine and transferred to the remote Star Destroyer. About a year before the Battle of Yavin, the Star Destroyer was ordered to a testing facility on Khonji Seven, but the contagion escaped from its laboratory when a leak occurred in a holding container, and the entire crew of the ship was infected. Within hours, the ship was a stranded derelict, and all but a small percentage of beings who had a genetic resistance to the contagion had been killed.

The Star Destroyer was later discovered by the crew of the Imperial Prison Barge Purge, which experienced engine trouble and drifted near the ship's location in the Unknown Regions. The crew of the Purge hoped to salvage parts from the Star Destroyer, but inadvertently brought the contagin back to the barge. The crew there was similarly infected and killed, with the exception of six immune survivors. Among these survivors were Doctor Zahara Cody and Trig Longo. Doctor Cody was able to learn something about the contagion on her own, while treating the patients who arrived at her infirmary. One side effect of the contagion's ability to reproduce and overwhelm its host was the unusual re-animation of the host's body after it had died from the basic contagion. The contagion had a way to take over the nerve receptors it its host's body, firing muscles and sparking the synapses of the brain. This ensured that the contagion could continue to multiply, even though the host was essentially dead. Another unexpected side effect was the unusual behavior of a re-animated host. The contagion itself was capable of working as single units to reproduce, but as its number grew, it developed a sort of quorum sensing capability that allowed the entire population of the contagion to act toward the single goal of overwhelming the host and reproducing itself. Once the contagion had infected the brain of a host and re-animated the body, the individual corpses were little more than mindless feeding machines that existed to spread the contagion to new hosts. However, these re-animated corpses could not feed on each other, as the contagion required new, living hosts in which to breed. Thus, as more and more corpses appeared in a given area, they began to exhibit the same quorum-sensing capabilities of the contagion, which used its new hosts' abilities to find new ways to locate living beings and spread. The corpses began to learn to work together, remembering pieces of their former selves until they could regain knowledge that they had in life. Once a single member of the group learned something, the contagion was able to communicate it to other members of the group. In this way, a group of corpses would eventually learn to pool its resources in an attempt to spread the contagion beyond their current environment.

The corpses aboard the Star Destroyer found a way to activate the ship's tractor beam, and began pulling in starships, hoping to find one that was capable of transporting them to another location. Among the ships they captured was the Purge, which brought Doctor Cody and another group of beings into their grasp. The corpses realized that the Purge was the perfect escape vehicle, but the farther they got from the Star Destroyer, the less able the corpses were to continue to function. Doctor Cody realized that the farther the corpses got from the concentrated contagion stored aboard the Star Destroyer, the weaker their link became to the source. Thus, the quorum sensing that the corpses exhibited became less cohesive, and the individual corpses soon died. Cody realized that this was the primary flaw in the Blackwing operation, and the reason that a re-animated corpse continued to produce the contagion: the reanimated bodies could never move far enough away from a huge concentration of the contagion to actually threaten the entire galaxy. As it moved away from the source, the contagion began to deteriorate, and was soon unable to keep the re-animated corpse functioning. The corpse collapsed and died, and the contagion eventually expired. (SWDT)

Imperial Board of Culture
This body of the Empire was responsible for reviewing and censoring music and art during the New Order. The IBC had three levels of tolerance. Pro-Imperial works were allowed to be viewed by the public. "Scarlet" works were those that did not meet the IBC's pro-Imperial standards, but were not derogatory to the New Order. Those works that openly disregarded the New Order were simply banned. (GG9)

Imperial Board of Foodstuffs and Consumables
This Imperial-funded body was charged with identifying the most edible of the galaxy's various culinary delights. Their decisions were biased along the same lines as the Empire. (SWJ2)

Imperial Broadcast and Communications
This branch of the Imperial Security Bureau was responsible for tracing and deciphering enemy communications. (TA)

Imperial Bureau of Investigations
The Imperial organization responsible for looking into all of the threats against the Empire, as well as searching out Alliance supporters. (LCJ)

Imperial Bureau of Shipyards and Construction
This branch of the Imperial government oversaw the development of starships throughout the galaxy. This bureau was put in place to help ensure that independently-produced starship designs were developed in accordance with Imperial law, so that no ships produced for general consumption were given armament, shields, and other shipboard systems that rivalled those if Imperial warships. (WOTC)

Imperial Business Bureau
This was the branch of the Empire that assisted individuals who had complaints with more than 85,000 businesses in both the private and public sectors. The IBB maintained detailed records on the leaders and executives of these businesses, in order to ensure timely resolution of any problems. (SWI89)

Imperial Cavalcade of Stars
This was a holo-movie theater located on the planet Chandrila. (GFT)

Imperial Center
This was the name of the planet Coruscant during the era of the New Order, when the planet served as the center of the Empire. The name change occurred within months of the end of the Clone Wars and the formation of the Galactic Empire, as part of the effort to sever all ties with the Old Republic. However, very few residents used the name in their casual conversations. For many beings, the planet was, and would continue to be, Coruscant. Emperor Palpatine declared that, because of its huge population and importance to the Empire, Imperial Center was a sector all to itself. This allowed Palpatine to establish the Coruscant Sector Fleet to protect his throneworld. The central governmental offices located within Imperial Center were virtually self-contained, and were capable of operating without any contact with the outside world. (ISU, RESB, CN1, CN2, CN3)

Imperial Center
This was the name of the main political building on Bakura, during the era of the New Order. (TB)

Imperial Center
In the wake of the Sith-Imperial War, the New Empire renamed the city that covered the planet Coruscant to be Imperial Center. The name remained in place after Darth Krayt and the new Sith order took control of the galaxy. (SWLC)

Imperial Center General Hospital
This was one of the most prestigious civilian hospitals found on Coruscant, during the early years of the New Order. (DSTR)

Imperial Center Main
This was the largest library found in the Empire. Based on the planet Coruscant, Imperial Center Main was the largest and most encompassing collection of literature and information in the galaxy during the early years of the New Order. (DSTR)

Imperial Center Oversector
This was the Imperial designation of the area of space dominated by the planet Coruscant, and containing all worlds whose galactic coordinates were positive and began with a zero. The farthest reach of this oversector, sometimes called Sector Zero, was the planet Kiribi. Much of the Deep Core was contained in this oversector, since Coruscant itself did not sit at the exact center of the galaxy, despite its 0,0,0 coordinate designation. (CCW)

Imperial Center People's Militia
This underworld law enforcement group was set up by Fliry Vorru, as an attempt to gain some measure of control on Coruscant. He proposed the security force to the New Republic as a way to keep the criminal elements of Imperial City under control without expending additional Republic resources. The Provisional Council reluctantly agreed, and with good reason. Vorru turned the People's Militia into a reincarnation of the Black Sun, albeit less powerful. Vorru played both the Republic and the Imperial forces against each other, limiting Kirtan Loor's ability to terrorize the Republic while hoarding bacta in a hidden facility. When Ysanne Isard decided that it was time to leave Coruscant, she took Vorru with her on the Lusankya, and the People's Militia was left without leadership. (KT)

Imperial Central Command
This was the name used to describe the military leadership installed by the Empire in the various sectors of the galaxy, during the height of the New Order and the era of the Galactic Civil War. All sector leaders reported to the main Imperial command on Coruscant, and eventually answered to Emperor Palpatine himself. (SWJ15, OWS)

Imperial Charter
The rules and agreements set forth by the Empire, and used as the basis for planetary governments under the Empire. (SME)

Imperial Citadel

Imperial City
This was the name used by Emperor Palpatine to describe the capital of the planet Imperial Center, which was also known as Courscant. At the heart of Imperial City was the Imperial Palace, and the city was differentiated from the rest of the planet's cityscape by the reconstruction that occurred in the wake of the Clone Wars and the so-called Jedi Rebellion. Eventually, the name Imperial City came to refer to the huge, sprawling metropolis that had once been known as both Republic City and Galactic City, which covered almost all of Coruscant's landmass. Republic City grew upward during the height of the Old Republic, with some buildings standing over a kilometer in height, and was eventually renamed to Galactic City. At the very pinnacle of the Old Republic, some builders began creating living space below the city, in the crust of the planet. When Palpatine overturned the Old Republic and named himself Emperor, he renamed Republic City to Imperial City, further declaring that the Old Republic was dead. The city continued prosper until the formation of the New Republic, in the wake of the Battle of Endor. When Imperial forces splintered into factions and began vying for control of the military, much of Imperial City was damaged in the resulting civil war. The fighting ended when the New Republic decided to recapture Coruscant, and restore it to prominence as the center of the galaxy's government. Massive reconstruction efforts were put into motion, and the city was eventually restored to most of its former beauty. With the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong and their capture of Coruscant, the city was reduced to rubble by the invaders' strange biotechnology, and replaced with a landscape evocative of long-lost Yuuzhan'tar. (ISB, HTTE, JS)

Imperial City
This song, written and played by the band Red Shift Limit, was banned by the Imperial Board of Culture. It first appeared on the compilation Dangerous Dreams. (GG9)

Imperial City Exhibition Series
This was a series of shockball matches staged on the planet Coruscant as part of the Royal Imperial Shockball League's yearly schedule. (CRO)

Imperial City Naval Base
This was the Empire's foremost naval base, established on Coruscant in the wake of the Clone Wars. Often referred to as simply ICNB, this base encompassed one of the first TIE Fighter training centers in the galaxy. Darth Vader made irregular appearances at ICNB, challenging the best pilots to one-on-one combat in either simulator or in training ships. (DSTR)

Imperial City University
This was one of the first public universities established by the Empire, shortly after the end of the Clone Wars. (CN2)

Imperial Civil War
This was one name given to the period of Imperial history following the Battle of Endor, during which various Imperial factions fought for control of the Empire's remnants. The highest-ranking Imperial officers declared themselves to be Warlords, and set out to create their own empires, all in the name of Imperialism. It occurred shortly after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, and culminated in several Imperial factions assaulting the planet Coruscant and trying to gain control of it amongst themselves. The war ended with the emergence of the cloned Emperor Palpatine from his hiding place on Byss, where he had been waiting for the right time to re-appear. Palpatine allowed the Warlords to struggle against each other, reasoning that this served to eliminate the weak leaders. (DE1, DESB, NECH)

Imperial Claw Station
This Imperial-controlled space station controlled all entry and exit points from hyperspace routes into deep space from the Endor System, during the construction of the second Death Star. (SWGAL)

Imperial Comlink
This was a kind of codename used by Imperial military officers to describe the HoloNet. The use of the term "Imperial comlink" was meant to throw off any being who was spying on Imperial military personnel, to give them a reason to think that the Empire had another means of interstellar communications. (TIEP)

Imperial Command
This was the name given to the chiefs of staff of the Imperial Army and Navy. Leaders from both branches of the military worked together to plan and coordinate battle plans and defense systems, in an effort to maximize the effectiveness of their forces. (ISB)

Imperial Communique #001044.92v
This was the official designation of the datafile that contained the Tarkin Doctrine, which was communicated in a transmission from Grand Moff Tarkin to Emperor Palpatine himself. (ISB, FC, OWS)

Imperial CompLink
This was the codename given to an Imperial project to augment the galaxy-wide HoloNet, allowing scientists on the far-flung worlds of the Empire to communicate on various projects. The developers of the CompLink idea went so far as to write software and create plans for technology improvements, hoping to convince their superiors of the idea's importance. The original idea was presented to Emperor Palpatine, who rejected it based on the costs involved with its implementation. Behind closed doors, however, Palpatine feared that the free exchange of information would subvert the efforts of the Empire to maintain control of the galaxy, and the project was scrapped. The plans for the CompLink were retrieved by Imperial Intelligence, which used the software and ideas to tweak the existing Sector Plexus and gain incredible improvements in efficiency, and still the idea of the CompLink was nearly scrapped. It was then that Geothray Camber suggested the addition of Hyperspace Orbiting Scanners to the system. The addition of Hyperspace Orbiting Scanners allowed the CompLink idea to be further transformed into a communications scanning system, allowing Imperial Intelligence to monitor and record transmissions on more than 470,000 planets. This was something that the Imperial advisors could understand and support, and thus the Imperial CompLink was finally implemented, albeit in a much different form than its original proposal. (ISB)

Imperial Core
This was the term used to describe the planets of the Core Worlds and the Deep Core that pledged their loyalty to Emperor Palpatine and the Galactic Empire. Over time, it became synonymous with the Core Worlds, since many of the planets in the Core were loyal to the Empire. (ISB)

Imperial Correction Facility
This was another name for the prison facility that was part of the spice mines of Kessel. During the height of the New Order, the Galactic Empire took control of the spice mines, using prisoners as laborers and reaping the profits from the sale of glitterstim spice. While the Empire controlled the mines, the name of the prison building was known as the Imperial Correction Facility. (JS, FJ1)

Imperial Corrections
This branch of the Imperial armed forces was trained to handle the incarceration of criminals and other felons. Imperial Corrections Officers, or ICOs, were given enough military training to provide them with the skills and tactics needed to manage prisoners at penal facilities across the galaxy. (SWDT)

Imperial Corrections Officer
This was the title given to those Imperial officers who served aboard prison barges and at detention facilities. Known as ICOs, these individuals were charged with keeping the peace within their prison populations. ICOs were trained at a dedicated ICO Academy facility, where they were given both military and corrections training. (SWDT)

Imperial Corrections Psychological Profile Exam
This was a battery of tests that were developed by the scientists and officers of the Imperial Corrections division to assess the mental stability of both inmates and officers. Various sections and subsections of the examination tested different aspects of a being's mind, providing a detailed analysis of their mental condition. (SWDT)

Imperial Corusca Lines
This luxury cruiser line was controlled by the Empire. (SWJ11)

Imperial Crown Jewels
This was a reference to the vast holding of gemstones and jewelry that were supposedly acquired by Emperor Palpatine, and were analogous to the jewels of royalty. (LCM)

Imperial Currency Reserve
This was the primary holding place for the Empire's vast physical wealth. Its exact location was a well-kept secret, and it was believed that several levels of security served to protect its contents, which formed the galaxy's most extensive store of valuable commodities. (HSR)

Imperial Customs Frigate
This small Rendili StarDrive ship was developed to support the Light Corvette on system patrol missions. The Empire used them as customs craft. The frigate measured just 35 meters in length, but was considerably slower than the Light Corvette. Each frigate required a crew of six, along with six gunners to man the six heavy turbolaser emplacements. This ship could carry up to 10 troops and 100 metric tons of cargo. (FOP)

Imperial Customs Office
This branch of the Empire was responsible for defining and enforcing the rules and regulations regarding interstellar trade, and the transport of goods across system and sector boundaries. (SWJ9)

Imperial Customs Vessel
This craft was a 180-meter patrol ship designed by Rendili StarDrive and used by the Empire to monitor and track intergalactic shipping operations. Because Rendili StarDrive classified these ships as lighjt corvettes, and because they were sold exclusively to the Imperial Customs Office, they became known as Imperial Customs Corvettes. These ships were shaped like a tuning fork, with a pair of forward-facing mandibles attached to a deep-winged main section. They were armed with six turbolaser batteries to handle the various armaments on the transport ships they encounter. The crew compliment was fifty-two, with an additional six gunners. There was room for twenty troopers, although most of the ship was given over to cargo space, with a total capacity of 500 metric tons. (GG6, FOP, SSOG)

Imperial Defense Daily
This newsfeed was part of the Empire's propaganda arsenal, and provided readers with sanitized reports on the status of the Imperial war machine. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, the Imperial Defense Daily worked hard to put a positive spin on the Empire's battles with the Alliance. (SWJ3, SWJ12, OWS)

Imperial Department of Military Research
This branch of the Empire's war machine was responsible for developing new forms of military technology, such as the orbital nightcloak and the Dark Trooper project. Because of its mission and the technologies it produced, the Department of Military Research was a top-secret operation that remained viable well after the Battle of Endor. However, with the defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn, all evidence of the department was lost. New Republic Intelligence investigators believed that the department's employees fled into the Outer Rim, and may have rejoined their former masters as part of the Imperial Remnant. (CTD, EGD, NEGW)

Imperial Department of Redesign
Originally created by Janus Greejatus, this branch of the Empire was a covert agency that developed methods for the liquidation and subjugation of alien races. (SWDB)

Imperial Elite Guard
This group of Imperial stormtroopers, distinguished by their gray armor and the dark gray stripes on their shoulder plates, served as the personal guard force of the Moff Council, during the years following the Swarm War. (LF9)

Imperial Embassy
Located in the city of Shulell, on the planet Lan Barell, this building served as the primary Imperial offices on the planet during the height of the New Order. The Imperial Embassy was erected near the Quilan Hive, to ensure that the natives of the planet did not forget that they were Imperial subjects. When occupied, the Imperial Embassy housed four dignitaries and their families. Many Imperial officers considered a posting on Lan Barell to be a form of punishment, since nobody actually wanted to live on the arid planet. (SWJ1, OWS)

Imperial Energy Systems
This branch of the Imperial Ministry of Energy was formed to develop large-scale power generators which were highly portable. These generators were ostensibly designed to be brought to disaster areas, where they could be put to use helping refugees. Many historians believed that IES, which was headed by Moff Jerjerrod of Quanta Sector, was simply a front for the development of better power supplies for the second Death Star. (SWJ6)

Imperial Enforcement DataCore
This huge, Imperial-controlled computer system was where all legal bounties were posted for the taking. It was sometimes referred to as Enforcement Central, and was based on the Republic Enforcement DataCore used by the Old Republic. (GG9, GG10, HNN4)

Imperial Engineering Academy
A branch of the Academy, this insitution trains the Empire's mechanics and engineers. (GG9)

Imperial Entertainer's Guild
This guild, which was obverseen by the Empire, provided entertainment to various Imperial and Corporate Sector outposts during the height of the New Order. Its starships were often painted with a mask superimposed on a sunburst. (HSE)

Imperial Executive
This was the leadership branch of the Galactic Empire, including Emperor Palpatine and his primary advisors. In addition to leading the near- and long-term operations of the Empire, the Imperial Executive was responsible for keeping the propaganda machine operating in order to protect the well-being of the Empire. (LSSM)

Imperial Exports
This shipping company combined efforts with Galactic Exotics to fund the dome over Plawal, on the planet Belsavis. (COJ)

Imperial Fair
This traditional fair was the highlight of Fete Week, each year on the planet Coruscant. Originally known as the Galactic Fair, it was renamed during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. It was held all along the Glitannai Esplanade, providing visitors a glimpse of the wide range of the Empire's reach. A huge military parade traveled the length of the Esplanade and ended in the Pliada di am Imperium, at the base of the Imperial Palace. Here was also the site of the Grand Display, which included displays created by various planetary governments. (SWJ5, CCW)

Imperial Fast Frigate
This arrowhead-shaped frigate was developed by the New Empire to serve as a front-line warship, during the years leading up to the Sith-Imperial War. Similar in shape to the Acclamator-class troopship used during the Clone Wars, the Imperial Fast Frigate was built for speed and maneuverability in order to respond quickly to any threat. Thus, these ships were built with lighter armor and equipped with less shielding than other warships, requiring their commanders to adapt to the battle conditions quite rapidly. (SWLH)

Imperial Finest
This was the best grade of durasteel armor starship plating produced by Sienar Fleet Systems during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Imperial Finest
This was one of the most powerful starship-droid interface units produced by Sienar Fleet Systems, during the height of the New Order. Similar to the Imperial 5 designed by Sienar Design Systems, it was the most sophisticated of the entire Imperial series of droid interface units. (SWG2P)

Imperial Finest
This was considered the most powerful starship weapons capacitor systems developed for the Empire by Sienar Design Systems, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Imperial Fleet
This was the term used to describe the combined naval forces of the Sith Empire, during the era known as the Great Galactic War. (SWORW)

Planets such as Prakith were garrisoned and equipped with huge numbers of troopers and weaponry, and served as secret sources of war materiel that could be drawn upon in the event of a rebellion. (DOFD)

Imperial Freight Complex
The primary Imperial docking station located on the planet Byss, the Imperial Freight Complex was considered one of the most heavily-guarded facilities in the entire galaxy.

Many of the individuals who served as gunners were unfit to be pilots, yet maintained the reflexes and intellect to earn a position as a gunner. (ISB)

Imperial Hall of Heroes
This monument to the Imperial soldiers and pilots who gave their lives during the early years of the New Order was erected in Imperial City with the use of Wookiee slave labor. It was during construction of a new wing that Commander Nyklas requested an assistant. The assistance turned out to be Han Solo, fresh from his graduation from the Academy on Carida. When Han saw what Nyklas was doing to the Wookiees, he suddenly remembered the promise he had made to Dewlanna as she died. Han had been chafing at the Empire's pro-Human stance, and the mistreatment of th Wookiee's was too much. Han freed and rescued Chewbacca from the slave party, and earned a dishonorable discharge for it. (THG)

Imperial Hammers Elite Armor Regiment
Also known as the Hell's Hammers, this was one of the Empire's most specialized troop units, capable of undertaking virtually any assignment. (ROE, SWJ15, OWS)

Imperial Hazard

This was the title given to the military leadership of the Imperial armed forces. Imperial High Command oversaw the deployment of military forces throughout the galaxy, and was instrumental in the continued development of starfighters and other military assets. (SWJ15, TFUN)

Imperial HoloVision
This was one of the largest, most powerful news agencies of the galaxy, during the height of the New Order. Formerly known as Republic News during the era of the Old Republic, Imperial HoloVision had offices on all Core Worlds, and its reach extended well into the Outer Rim Territories. When Palpatine installed himself as Emperor, Republic News was re-organized and given an Imperial warrant to report news of the New Order. Among the first broadcasts aired by Imperial HoloVision was a series of news features on the treachery of the Jedi Order, and the acts that were perpetrated by the Jedi that required the need to exterminate them. (GG9, SWI87, OWS)

Imperial Hotel
This hotel was located in the Imperial city of Tasariq City, on the planet Tasariq. (SWJ15)

Imperial Hotel
Located in Lola Curich, this hotel had the best accomodations to be found near the main starport of the planet Lianna.

(ML, OWS)

Imperial Hunter
A long-range intercept starship developed for use by the Empire during the rise to power of Palpatine's clones on Byss. (DE2)

Imperial Hyperspace Security Net
This network of Interdictor Cruisers and gravity mines was strewn across the hyperspace traffic lanes within the Deep Core of the galaxy, keeping Imperially-held star systems out of the reach of the rest of the galaxy. Most of these hyperspace routes were known only to the Empire, and the Imperial Hyperspace Security Net was developed to ensure that no other starships happened to stumble upon them, or reach the Emperor's fortress on Byss. Technicians working all along the Hyperspace Security Net monitored entry and exit from the Deep Core, and were continually on alert for unauthorized traffic. (DE1, PH, OWS)

Imperial I-class Star Destroyer
Built at the Kuat Drive Yards, this heavy-duty Imperial capital ship became the symbol of terror and control of the Imperial Navy. The wedge-shaped Imperial I-class Star Destroyer measured 1,600 meters in length, and was manned by 36,810 crewers and 275 gunners. It could also transport up to 1,200 troops. Note that Jedi Search indicates that the Imperial I-class was manned by 37,000 crewers and could carry 9,700 troops. The vessel's top sublight speed was 60 MGLT, and its hull was rated at 150 RU.

Despite its formidable appearance, Talon Karrde once stated that the Imperial-class had 174,000 design flaws waiting to be exploited. It boasted the following shipboard systems:

• 2 Om-Thaim Broadcast Banner Shield Generator (the round towers on top) rated at 300 SBD
• 60 Borstel NK-7 Ion Cannon Batteries
• 10 Phylon-Q7 Tractor Beam Projectors
• a Seinar Fleet Systems I-a2b Solar Ionization Reactor and Stardrive
• 60 Taim and Bak XX-9 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries
• LeGrange Targetting Computers
• Seinar Fleet Systems S-s3a Long Range Tachyon Detection Scanner
• Planetary Assault Units

  • 20 AT-ATs
  • 30 AT-STs
• 6 Fighter Bays
  • 3 TIE Fighter Squadrons
  • 2 TIE Interceptor Squadrons
  • 1 TIE Bomber Squadron
• 28 Landing Bays
  • 5 Assault Gunboats
  • 8 Lambda-class Shuttles
  • 15 Stormtrooper Transports

The Imperial I-class Star Destroyer was distinguished from its successor, the Imperial II-class, by the main tractor beam targetting array that was located atop the conning tower. On the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer, the array was X-shaped, while the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer had a flat array. (E4, SCRE, SWSB, ISB, TSC, SOP, E4VG, SSOG)

Imperial II-class Star Destroyer
A modification to the incredibly effective Imperial I-class, the Imperial II-class only had 36,755 crewers, but 300 gunners and 9,700 troops. These 1,600-meter ships were equipped with 50 heavy turbolaser batteries, 50 heavy turbolaser cannons, 20 ions cannons, and 10 tractor beam projectors. Among the primary differences in terms of structure was the heavily reinforced hull and the presence of a second docking bay on the belly of the Imperial II-class ship. This second bay allowed this Star Destroyer to deploy up to seventy-two TIE fighters into battle. (SWSB, ISB, BW, TCG6, SSOG)

Imperial Information Center
This huge, computer data system was created by Emperor Palpatine beneath the foundation of the former palace of the Old Republic on Coruscant. (JS, DA)

Imperial Interim Ruling Council
This body rose to power in the wake of the destruction of the original Ruling Council and the death of Emperor Palpatine's clones at Byss, and was led by the former Royal Imperial Guard, Carnor Jax. Based in the city of De-Purteen, on the planet Ord Cantrell, it consisted of thirteen staunch Imperial loyaltists as well as several members of non-human species who believed in the Empire. This fact worried many of the human Council members, especially in the wake of Jax's death on Yinchorr. In the following months, the Council splintered into many factions, due in part to the behind-the-scenes machinations of Nom Anor. The Yuuzhan Vong Executor knew that a unified Empire would be a formidable opponent for the Yuuzhan Vong, and worked to disintegrate the Council to allow the New Republic to continue to grow. (CE, CE2, GMR8)

Imperial Investigation Committe on Lepusan Intelligence
This committee was formed by the Empire shortly after the colonization of the planet Freliq, to investigate the growing number of reports of the intelligence of the lepusa species. (COG)

Officers also carried vibroblades of an ancient design. (RCTC)

Imperial Justice Court
This remnant of Emperor Palpatine's rule was used by the New Republic in important trials. Among the trials conducted in its oppressive halls was the trial of Tycho Celchu, who was charged with the murder of Corran Horn.

Imperial Knights
This was the name used to describe those Jedi Knights who supported the New Empire that was formed in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Unlike the Galactic Empire formed by Emperor Palpatine, the New Empire embraced the Force and its connection to the galaxy, and even allowed some of the Imperial Knights to serve in high-ranking political positions. The Imperial Knights became the new Empire's version of the Jedi Order, and its members were completely loyal to the Empire. Their ability to work with the New Empire stemmed from the Fel Emperors' policy of "Victory Without War," which allowed the Imperial Knights to work within the Force to ensure stability and peace. As a symbol of their unity, every member of the Imperial Knights carried a lightsaber of the exact same design. Those beings who completed their training were sworn to a lifetime of service to the Imperial Knights and the New Empire. In the history of the Imperial Knights, only one being ever walked away from their service, and it was believed that that individual died shortly after leaving the order.

In the years that followed the Sith-Imperial War, the Imperial Knights found themselves questioning their continued loyalty to the New Empire, especially after the Moff Council forced Emperor Roan Fel into exile and allied the Empire with the New Sith Order led by Darth Krayt. (SWI88, SWLL, SWLHT)

Imperial Kundril
This was one of the few remaining species of kundril that existed over a solid landmass. Unlike most species of kundril, which fled the colonization of Brentaal by moving over the oceans, the Imperial kundril made its home in the rocky mountain canyons. It was easily distinguished from the other species of kundril by its coloration, with a red exoskeleton flecked with gold. (CCW)

Imperial Medal of Honor
This Imperial award was given to those cadets and newly-commissioned officers who acted above and beyond the call of duty during their missions. Because every young, up-and-coming officer was being held to an exceptionally high standard, it was rare that the Medal of Honor was given out for simply earning a commission. The Medal itself was a large circle of metal that depicted the fighter craft of the pilot who won the award, and was suspended on a black ribbon piped with violet trim. (WOTC, SWGAL)

Imperial Medal of Valor
This Imperial award was presented to those warriors who put their own pain and injuries aside in order to eradicate Alliance forces. Kyle Katarn was awarded the Medal of Valor for his partin securing asteroid AX-456. (SWJ9, SFE)

Imperial Military Oversight Commission
A group of Imperial Naval officers and Imperial agents whose mission was to review battle data and look for problems with the Imperial war machine. (ISB)

Imperial Military Stop Loss Order
This Imperial order was first issued in the wake of the Clone Wars, when the military force of the Grand Army of the Republic was about to be converted into the Imperial military. After the Clone Wars, many non-clone and civilian officers had planned to retire from military service, primarily medical personnel and other non-combat roles. However, as the Empire expanded and open rebellion became more pronounced, Imperial leaders found that they could no longer support the military without these beings. Thus, the Imperial Military Stop Loss Order was created to prevent such personnel from leaving their positions.

Known as an IMSLO for short, this order was issued retroactively, basically saying that any being, no matter when they were conscripted into military service, was to serve in the Imperial military until they were discharged or killed. This led many disgruntled personnel to refer to the meaning of an IMSLO as "I'm Milking Scragged; Life's Over." (DSTR)

Imperial Mining Corporation
This Imperially-owned mining operation was based on Coruscant, during the height of the New Order. (SWJ2, OWS)

Imperial Mining, Limited
This corporation was owned by the Empire, and was based on the planet Derilyn. It was charged with mining the planets of the Elrood Sector for raw materials to support the Imperial war machine, but it found stiff competition from the Radell Mining Corporation. (PG3, OE)

Imperial Minisub
A small submersible vehicle used by the Empire as an underwater reconnaissance probe ship. It can seat up to five people. They were also used as emergency escape pods on submarines. (GDV)

Imperial Mission
This was the term used to describe any of the mission houses that were established by the Imperial Missionaries across the galaxy, many decades after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Each Mission was set up to assist the poor and the needy of a given planet or system, in an effort to get them back on their feet. (SWI88)

Imperial Missionaries
This was one the many benevolent organizations that were formed by the new Empire that arose from the Imperial Remnant, many years after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Unlike the Galactic Empire, this new Empire was founded on the basic tenet of "Victory Without War," and was led for many years by the Fel family dynasty. Imperial Missions were established throughout the galaxy, to assist th epoor and needy to eke out an existence. (SWI88)

Imperial Mobile Surgical Unit
This was the name used to describe the field hospitals that were employed by the Imperial Army. Similar in most respects to the Republic Mobile Surgical Units that were used during the Clone Wars, these mobile hospitals could be set up near the front lines of battle, and moved if the fighting got too close. (DSTR)

Imperial Munitions
This corporation manufactured stortmtrooper armor and defense drones, along with a variety of technology for the Empire. Much of the corporate make-up of Imperial Munitions was created by nationalizing those independent businesses which showed support for the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. Because of this growth plan, the quality of products produced across Imperial Munitions' portfolio varied greatly. Quite often, products were mass-produced by slave labor. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Imperial Munitions was thrown into disarray, with many of its operations splitting off and going to work independent of any Imperial governance. (GG9, FOP, WOTC)

Imperial Museum
This vast museum complex was maintained by the Empire on the planet Coruscant, during the height of the New Order. (HSL, CN2)

Imperial Mutiny
This was another name for the Imperial Civil War. (ECH)

Imperial Naval Academy
This was the term used to describe the educational facilities established by the Galactic Empire to train new recruits of the Imperial Navy. It was unclear which of the many institutions that made up the Academy was actually the first, but many surmised that the Raithal Military Academy may have been the true Imperial Naval Academy. The Academy center on Coruscant was also another choice, since it was established within the first year of the New Order. The operations and structure of all Sector Naval Academies were based on those established at the Imperial Naval Academy.

Early facilities for naval training, such as the Coruscant location, were often housed in temporary structures, until more permanent facilities could be constructed. These facilities were given high-tech security systems, but were often guarded by re-programmed B1-series battle droids. (ISB, LJ8)

Imperial Naval Code
This was the set of laws and regulations by which the Imperial Navy conducted its business. (SWJ2)

Imperial Naval College
This college was a sister facility to the Imperial Academy, and provided a way to train Academy graduates in the finer arts of naval combat and command. (CRO)

Imperial Navy
This was the space-going branch of the Imperial armed forces. It was formed from the naval divisions of the Grand Army of the Republic, in the wake of the Clone Wars. While the stormtroopers became the visible aspect of the Imperial military, it was the Imperial Navy that helped secure the early safety of the Galactic Empire. The huge shapes of Star Destroyers and the simple shapes of TIE Fighters became the identities of the Imperial Navy, which controlled planets, systems, and sectors through fear of attack as much as sheer numbers. The Imperial Navy was broken down into four key branches: the Line Branch handled strategy and administration, the Flight Branch handled combat vessel flight operations, the Fleet Support Branch handled vessel maintenance and repair, and the Service Support Branch handled the supplies and services that allowed naval personnel to carry out their jobs. Much like the naval forces of the Old Republic, the Imperial Navy claimed that its sole mission was "to free the system sapce of member worlds from hazards to profitable commerce, to assure the safety of member worlds from attack from outside forces, and to bolster the planetary governments in times of crisis." However, unlike the Old Republic Navy, the Imperial Navy was not required to answer an emergency call from a local government. Individual planets were deemed "too insignificant" for the Imperial Navy to worry about. Such matters were to be directed to the nearest Imperial Governor for resolution. The credo of the Imperial Navy was a very simple statement of loyalty: "Service. Fealty. Fidelity." (ISB)

Imperial Navy Bureau of Regulation
Known as INBOR, this branch of the Empire's Navy was responsible for creating a variety of laws and regulations pertaining to civilian starship operation. (PSPG)

Imperial Navy Officers' School

Imperial Navy Troopers were chosen to serve as Death Star Troopers, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. In the wake of the battle, these soldiers were simply referred to as Imperial Troopers. (SWI100)

Imperial Palace
This immense building served as the governmental seat of the Imperial Remnant, during the years following the Pellaeon-Gavrisom Treaty. Located in the city of Ravelin, on the capital world of Bastion, the Imperial Palace was an imposing building that was beautiful and ornate. Its inner chambers, especially those in which visitors were received, were exquisitely decorated, in order to impress upon visitors that the Imperial Remnant was still quite powerful and wealthy. (LF8)

Imperial Palace
This huge, governmental building on Coruscant served as the site where the galaxy's leaders convened for thousands of generations, although it was not always known by the name Imperial Palace. Like much of the surrounding cityscape, Imperial Palace had been added to by each successive administration. The Imperial Palace sprawled across the face of Imperial City, dominating the skyline with its huge, pyramidal outline that was believed to have been described by Emperor Palpatine himself. Much of its outer construction was made from polished, gray-green rock and mirrored crystal, which made the build sparkle and shine in the midday sun, resembling a beacon of power and strike awe into those who arrived on the planet to visit the Emperor. The uppermost levels of the palace contained hangars and delivery bays that could accommodate large transport ships. The remaining levels above ground contained a multitude of banquet halls and living quarters for the many races and cultures that were part of the Old and New Republics. The immediate levels below ground were made up of audience halls and conference rooms. The lowest levels were the realm of the support and service areas, including kitchens, atmosphere circulation, heating and cooling, and waste disposal. In all, there were more than 50 connected structures that made up the Palace, encompassing some 20,000 rooms and chambers. It was not uncommon for first-time Seantors and their aides to become lost in the mazes that were formed by its passageways. There were also a number of rumors surrounding the Palace, including stories of of construction workers who were lost and never found; of chambers without doors; of sections of a hundred or more rooms that have never been occupied. There was even a belief that there was a hidden treasure room containing the wealth of Tolpeh-Sor. Much of the oldest parts of the Palace were damaged by the Force storm sent by the reborn Emperor Palpatine to capture Luke Skywalker, during the early years of the New Republic. When the New Republic retook Coruscant for good, they used the Palace as their base, and tried unsuccessfully to change its name to the Capitol and Republic House, but none of these names ever seemed appropriate. When the Yuuzhan Vong finally took possession of Coruscant, some two years after their initial invasion of the galaxy, Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya tried to eliminate the Warmaster Tsavong Lah by rigging his offices in the Palace to explode. The Warmaster refused to take the bait, sending a representative in his place. Fey'lya was forced to detonate his bombs anyway, destroying three Yuuzhan Vong warships, some 25,000 warriors, and a good portion of the Imperial Palace. (DE1, HTTE, JS, ISU, TT, IJ, SBS)

Imperial Palace Casino

Imperial Palace Guard
This branch of the Imperial Guard Corps was charged with ensuring the safety and security of the Imperial Palace on Coruscant, during the era of the New Order. (SWJ5, OWS)

Imperial Parade Thoroughfare
This wide, open thoroughfare was constructed on the planet Coruscant, during the early months of the New Order, as a place where the amassed Imperial armed forces could parade their strength and numbers in public. By providing the general populace of Imperial City with regular parades, Emperor Palpatine hoped to reinforce the idea that military might would bring peace and justice to the galaxy. (CN2)

Imperial Peace-Keeping Certificate
Known as an IPKC or the "bounty hunter's license," this permit allowed an individual to transport the weapons and equipment necessary to track a wanted individuals across certain galactic boundaries. Each certificate was valid in a limited area, and did not give the holder expressed permission to capture someone. As noted on the back of the IPKC, every wanted individual had to be "given the opportunity to peacefully surrender to the bearer of this certificate." Any attempt to avoid capture was deemed a refusal to surrender, and gave the bounty hunter the opportunity to actually capture the individual, provided that the hunter also carried a Capture Permit.

Some additional permits might also have been required to track and capture a wanted being, depending on the requirements of certain systems and sectors.

During the height of the New Order, IPKC's were issued, along with bounty hunting licenses, by the Imperial Office of Criminal Investigations. (GG9, GG10, OWS)

Imperial Penal References
Known as the ImpPeRe, this body of laws and regulations broke out all forms on criminal acts into five classes. Class One infractions were defeined as the most heinous of acts, and included conspiracy to overthrow the Empire and agression against an Imperial officer. Class Five offenses were minor infractions, such as not having the proper emergency equipment installed in a starship.

Section Fourteen, Subsection Nine, Part C-1, forbid any being from tampering with a droid's functional capabilities without expressed permission from its owner. (PSG, DSTR)

Imperial Prime University
The most prestigious university sponsored by Emperor Palpatine and the New Order, it produced some of the greatest weapons designers of the Empire. (TME)

Imperial Prison Barge
This was a specialized form of passenger transport vessel that was designed for the Galactic Empire. The Imperial Prison Barge was developed as a way to move prisoners - convicted criminals, political dissidents, and other suspected rebels - between holding areas and penal colonies. Each of these ships had a crew that was made up of soldiers and officers who could operate the ship and keep the prisoners in line. The average barge could accommodate some 500 captives, in addition to its crew compliment. The prisoners were housed on one of six main detention levels, each of which had up to thirty cells. The mess hall was located just above the detention levels, and the staff quarters, administration center, and infirmary were located above the mess hall. The very bottom level of the ship wwas set aside for solitary confinement. (SWDT)

Imperial Production Laboratories
This was a group of highly-secret labs built by the Empire for the research and development of new technologies. (SL)

Imperial Propaganda Bureau
This branch of the Empire was responsible for ensuring that news of events across the galaxy was properly reported, so that the work of Imperial forces was shown in the best possible light. Most of the efforts of the IPB were unnoticed by the general population, until Mon Mothma submitted the Declaration of Rebellion. Then, the Bureau's claims that the Alliance was a terrorist organization that promoted "anti-establishment insurgency" became a rallying cry for oppressed systems. These systems decided that the time was right to oppose the Empire, and began throwing their support over to the Alliance. (RASB)

Imperial Public Policy Foundation
This education institution was a satellite of the Imperial University's School of Public Policy. (SWJ7)

Imperial Reconnaissance Armor
This form of body armor was developed by the Empire for protecting field medics and other non-combat personnel whose presence was often required on the battlefield. It was light in weight, and was developed to defend against blaster fire and other energy weapons. Because of its design, reconnaissance armor was susceptible to projectile weapon attacks. (SWGAL)

Imperial Records Library
This was the primary library of information maintained by the Empire. It was developed on Coruscant, and contained information from all levels of the Empire. Palpatine's Special Files section was guarded with incredible security, and only a few members of the Empire knew its access codes. When Palpatine died at Endor, the records were quickly confiscated by Imperial forces, but much of it was left behind. The New Republic was able to gain some information, but the deep encryption on most of the data was impossible to break. The Library itself was continually restructured when the Imperial capital was forced to move from planet to planet, and eventually ended up on Bastion. To allow his supporters to know where the Imperial capital was, even if they weren't in favor, Grand Admiral Thrawn had a Chiss homing device installed in a dummy file in the library. The device operated only while in hyperspace, providing the new location before shutting down. This allowed Voss Parck and Stent to follow the movements of the Empire's remnants with ease. (VOF)

Imperial Regions
This was a term used to describe the various galactic sectors that were recognized by the Empire. (HSE)

Imperial Remnant
This was the name adopted by the surviving members of the Empire, after a peace treaty was negotiated with the New Republic. The Imperial Remnant was an independent faction that remained apart from the New Republic, controlling a section of the Outer Rim Territories that was centered on the planet Bastion. At its creation, the Imperial Remnant contained just eight backwater sectors of the galaxy, a mere shadow of the former Galactic Empire. With Gilad Pellaeon's guidance, the Remnant was able to expand its borders over time, and its holding became known as the Imperial Sector of the galaxy. The leadership of the Imperial Remnant was split between the military, which was under Pellaeon's command, and the political prowess of the Moff Council. The military leadership was ostensibly the primary leaders of the Imperial Remnant, a fact that was reinforced when Pellaeon was succeeded by Jagged Fel, at the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Fel became the Imperial Head of State when the Moffs were forced to assist in rebuilding the Galactic Alliance, or risk being tried as war criminals for their role a series of attacks against the Hapan roylaty. Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker forced the Moff Council into the deal, and council remained as a kind of senatorial body under Fel's leadership. The scheming of the Moff Council was kept in check by the order and security of the military, creating a political entity that expanded its boundaries without the tyranny of the former Galactic Empire. This expansion allowed Fel to do away with the term "Imperial Remnant", taking on the term "Empire" to describe the growing areas of space that he controlled. (DTO, NEGC, LF8, FJ1, FJ2)

Imperial Repeater Gun
This was a type of stormtrooper rifle that was designed to fire a spray of blaster bolts at a target. This design required regular recharging of its power cells, because it used a lot of energy to produce the multiple bolts that were fired with each pull of the trigger. However, the blaster bolts that were fired by the repeater gun caused multiple hits on a single target, which prevented the target from using their own weapon. (DF, DF2P)

Imperial Revenue Code
Among the most uniform of all Imperial laws, the Revenue Code requires every citizen to carry proof that they have met their fiscal obligation to the Empire. (ISB)

Imperial Ruling Council
This governing body rose to power shortly after Emperor Palpatine's death at Endor, in order to seize control of the Empire and restore it to power. The Council was initially led by Sate Pestage, who installed himself as their leader by virtue of his proximity to Palpatine. Ysanne Isard desired control of the Council for herself, and arranged for Pestage to be removed. However, the Council voted Paltr Carvin as its new leader, forcing Isard to develop even more elaborate schemes to gain control. Eventually, Isard was able to wrest control of the Council for herself. When the New Republic retook Coruscant - albeit a part of Isard's plans - and Isard herself was defeated by Rogue Squadron at Thyferra, the Council was abandoned by the warlords who fragmented the Empire. (XWMR)

Imperial Sector
This was the name given to the area surrounding the Imperial Palace on Coruscant. This name was first used shortly after the end of the Clone Wars, after Emperor Palpatine established the Galactic Empire and took control of the planet. (CN1)

Imperial Sector Police
This was the name given to the military police force that was created to protect the planet Coruscant, during the early years of the New Order. Led by the Sector Command, the Imperial Sector Police were a non-political group that claimed to be free of influence from the Imperial government. However, shortly before the destruction of the planet Caamas, the Imperial Sector Police used extreme violence to smash an anti-Imperial rally at the Imperial City University. Although the centurion in charge of the operation was later arrested, no attempt was made to provide restitution to the parents of the Vesarian students that were killed in the attack. (CN2)

Imperial Sector Rangers
This law enforcement agency was used by the Empire on various worlds where it could not extend full military force. Formed from the ranks of the original Sector Rangers, the Imperial Sector Rangers were sent in to establish order by eliminating rebellious activity. (KT)

Imperial Security Authorization
This was a document that was issued by the Imperial Security Bureau to any individual who passed an intense background check, allowing them to access certain levels of secure Imperial installations. (PH)

Imperial Security Bureau
This branch of the Empire was considered a civilian organization and part of the Committee for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR), and therefore was not part of the Imperial military. It was formed from the Internal Security Bureau that was established in the wake of the Clone Wars, after Emperor Palpatine had first formed the Galactic Empire and instituted the New Order. The ISB was charged with keeping the Emperor apprised of political events, and was viewed as an internal rival to the Imperial Intelligence agency.

Being a more public agency than Intelligence, the ISB was designed to help keep the darker doings of the Empire out of the public eye. It was also more of a policing agency than the Ubiqtorate, and often the simple fact that an individual was a member of the ISB was enough to put a stop to criminal activity. The ISB was broken down into seven key divisions: Interrogation, Investigations, Surveillance, Enforcement, Re-Education, Internal Affairs, and the Commission of Operations. The Commission of Operations oversaw the activities of the various Sector Offices of the ISB, each of which mirrored the divisional breakdown of the ISB itself.

Many within the Imperial military infrastructure believed that the ISB had been established by Palpatine himself, as a way to exert a measure of control over the regular military, thereby ensuring that none of its leaders could grow strong enough to challenge him for control of the Empire. (RPG, ISB, DSTC, RR, A)

Imperial Security Force
The branch of the Imperial military charged with keeping the Empire safe from harm. (MMY)

Imperial Security Services

Imperial Senate
This was the name given to the reorganized Galactic Senate, in the wake of the Clone Wars. The Galactic Senate had been the ruling body of the Old Republic, a collection of senators from the Old Republic's major worlds that worked together to create many of the laws and beliefs maintained by the Republic. Some of the more notable senators including Garm Bel Iblis, Mon Mothma, and Bail Organa (founders of the Alliance to Restore the Republic); Leia Organa; and former Senator Palpatine of Naboo. When Palpatine rose to power and assumed the role of Emperor of the Galactic Empire, the Galactic Senate was reorganized by Palpatine and titled the Imperial Senate. Note that certain sources indicate that Palpatine was approached by various factions who wanted to overthrow the Old Republic, he usurped their support and used it to further his own dream of establishing his New Order.

Although the Sector Governance Decree all but eliminated the need for the Senate, Palpatine kept the governmental body intact. This provided continuity for the common beings of the galaxy, as well as ensuring that star systems and sectors that did not agree with Imperial doctrine were kept under control. It also provided a way for Palpatine to keep tabs on beings he ahd been manipulating, ensuring their continued loyalty to the Empire. However, when Palpatine felt that the Senate was becoming a burden to his plans, he dissolved the Imperial Senate permanently, just before the Battle of Yavin. (E4, DFR, RFDV)

Imperial Stronghold
This fortress was established by the newly-founded Empire on Coruscant, as a base of operations for those military personnel who were chasing down fugitive Jedi Knights, in the wake of the Clone Wars. The forces working in the Imperial Stronghold were ostensibly under the command of Inquisitor Malorum, although Malorum himself took orders directly from Darth Vader. Operations within the Imperial Stronghold were to be moved to the former Jedi Temple on Coruscant, when Malorum set up an elaborate trap to capture any Jedi who managed to return to Coruscant in search of their brethren. (LJ3)

Imperial Survey Corps
This branch of the Empire's military was dedicated to exploring the galaxy. This group of scientists and scouts, though understaffed even at the height of the New Order, discovered a new star system every 207 minutes. During the height of the New Order, many members of the ISC chafed under the rigid structure and regulations of the Imperial Navy, and voluntarily left military service to strike out on their own. Many of these individuals later joined the Alliance as scouts or intelligence operatives. (ISB, RASB)

Imperial Symphony Orchestra
This was the premier musical orchestra of the New Order, drawing on the brightest and best musicians in the Empire. Much of the music played by the ISO was from the Neoclassical period, since Emperor Palpatine favored the marches and waltzes of that time. During the early years of the New Order, the ISO played its concerts in the Core Worlds, since it was deemed the center of High Human Culture. In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, the ISO embarked on a tour of the Mid Rim, as more and more worlds began to fall under strict Imperial control. (TB, SWJ5, OWS)

Imperial Taxation Bureau
This branch of the Empire was charged with setting, levying, and obtaining the various taxes, fees, and tariffs imposed by Emperor Palpatine. (FOP)

Imperial Throne
This was a term used by Lord Shadowspawn and many of the Imperial warlords who rose to power during the months following the Battle of Endor to describe the rulership position that had been vacated by the death of Emperor Palpatine. Many of these warlords wished to claim the Imperial Throne as their own, thereby establishing themselves as the next Emperor. (LSSM)

Imperial TIE
This was the second generation of the infamous TIE Fighter, following in the design footsteps of the original T.I.E. Fighter. The upgrade from the T.I.E. Fighter cost the Imperial military hundreds of trillions of credits, but it helped the Empire eliminate the original design, which was decidedly based on Old Republic standards.Part of the costs also went into the redesignation of Republic Sienar Systems, to the more simple name of Sienar Fleet Systems. This ship measured 6.3 meters in length, and was armed with a double laser cannon. (SWJ10)

Imperial Tractor Beam Primer
This datadoc was given to every Imperial weapons officer who needed instruction in the use of tractor beams. (TTSB)

(SWJ9)

Imperial Transfer Post
During the Imperial occupation of the Kuat System, this was one of the three orbital spaceports which bordered on the Inner Kuat Transfer Zone. The Transfer Post was reserved exclusively for use by the Empire. All spacelanes to and from the Transfer Post were restricted to Imperial traffic only, and prosecutors were often shot at first, then asked questions later. (PSPG)

Imperial Transport Commission
This was the branch of the Imperial Navy that ensured safety for civilian starship traffic. (SWJ11)

Imperial Trooper
This was the name used to describe those Imperial soldiers who served aboard naval vessels, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The use of Imperial Troopers aboard warships came from the idea of the Death Star Troopers, who were the soldiers that served aboard the first Death Star. The Imperial Troopers adopted the uniform and headgear of the Death Star Troopers, dressing in black and wearing a well-armored, domed helmet. These soldiers were not just military footmen. They also served as security forces, traffic controllers, and sensor system operators. (ISB)

Imperial Truth

Imperial Warlord
This was the generic term used to describe any of the former Imperial Moffs and military officers who took control of their territories and tried to establish their own control over the galaxy, in the wake of the Battle of Endor. Each of these warlords claimed to remain loyal to the tenets of the Empire, but many were simply power-hungry despots whose primary goal was control over other beings. (SWMW)

Imperial Work Contract
This document was created by the Empire for situations in which civilians or civilian organizations were recruited to perform jobs for the Imperial military. Personnel in the armed forces were covered under another contract, which basically described the terms of their service. These military personnel had very few rights of their own, but this was not possible with non-military personnel. For these civilians, the Empire created the Imperial Work Contract, which clearly stated the terms and conditions under which a civilian would work for the Empire. The Imperial Work Contract also clearly stated the civilian's rights and privileges, and the penalties to be paid if the civilian failed to live up to their end of the bargain. (DSTR)

Imperial-class Repulsortank
This series of military repulsorcraft was designed and manufactured by Ubrikkian for use by the Empire. They were five times faster than standard AT-AT walkers, more maneuverable than a walker, and were armed with a heavy laser cannon and a medium laser cannon. There were three versions of the tank, each more powerful and stronger than the previous. The 1-L tank was the standard version, and the most economical. The 1-M tank was stronger than the 1-L, but not as well-defended as the 1-H, which was the most powerful Imperial-class tank. 1,500 Imperial-class tanks were initially produced. 1,420 were shipped to the first Death Star, and the remainder were assigned to Hell's Hammers. All the Death Star's tanks were lost in the Battle of Yavin, while many of the Hell's Hammers' tanks were destroyed on Turak IV. Production was somewhat limited afterward, although a Mark II version was eventually developed and deployed during the years following the Battle of Endor. (SWJ9, SWJ15, OWS)

Imperial-class Repulsortank Mark II
This follow-on to the Imperial-class Repulsortank was produced during the early years of the New Republic. It was armed with a massive, turret-mounted laser cannon on the upper deck, as well as a smaller laser cannon mounted just beneath the larger weapon. The Mark II version of the Imperial-class Repulsortank was part of the huge collection of war machines that were maintained by High Colonel Zel Johans and the Hell's Hammer Elite Armor Unit, after they retreated to the planet Brintooin and established a base of operations there. (SWJ15, OWS)

Imperialist
This was the term used to describe those star systems that offered their support and backing to Emperor Palpatine and the Galactic Empire, in the wake of the Clone Wars and the Jedi Purge. (RDV)

Imperialization
This was the term used to describe the process of galactic conquest set forth by Emperor Palpatine's New Order. On the surface, Imperialization was about bringing peace and justice to the galaxy by placing it under the control of a single individual, the Emperor. By controlling everything - from the military to the financial systems - Palpatine explained that the galaxy would no longer suffer the corruption that destroyed the Old Republic.

However, to many beings in the galaxy, Imperialization was much more than this, and much worse. At its core, Imperialization required that every inhabited planet be brought under Imperial control. Individual governments were forced to bend to the will of the Empire, and alliances between planets and star systems were broken apart. If a planet did not willingly accept Imperial control, it was subjugated under the weight of the Imperial military.

Non-human races perhaps suffered the most under Imperialization, as Palpatine's own xenophobia was imprinted on Imperial doctrine and law. Worlds that were inhabited by non-human populations were enslaved or invaded, depending on whether or not the Empire felt that a race could be of use in achieving its goals. (SW, LJ7)

Imperial-Sith War
see Sith-Imperial War (SWLB)

Imperious
This modified Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer was being constructed as the flagship of Admiral Morlish Veed, during the years leading up to the New Empire's war against the Galactic Alliance, some 130 years after the Battle of Yavin. Although it was ostensibly part of the Pellaeon-class, the Imperious was part of a new series of advanced warships that would become the backbone of the combined Sith-Imperial navy. Because of this, the Imperious was often referred to as an Advanced Star Destroyer. It was different from other Pellaeon-class ships in that its upper hull was covered with segmented plates of armor, while the dorsal section was completely open to space. This dorsal section was filled with command centers and sensor systems, giving it a city-like appearance that was similar to that of the Super-class Star Destroyers of the Galactic Empire.

The ship became the bait in a grand scheme by Imperial Admiral Valan, who hoped that the lure of the ship would be too much for Admiral Gar Stazi of the Galactic Alliance to pass up. Stazi and his meager forces took the bait, but Stazi put his own plans in motion to counteract Valan's every move. In the end, Stazi was able to take possession of the Imperious, although it cost him the life of his good friend, Jaius Yorub, as well as the loss of the Indomitable. In the days that followed, Stazi's forces struggled to get the huge ship ready for combat, since it was not yet complete when it was stolen. They also had to deal with Darth Krayt's attempt to exterminate the Mon Calamari and detain an Galactic Alliance supporters, in response to Gial Gahan's role in the theft.

Unknown to parties on both sides of the conflict was the fact that the Imperious had been sabotaged by Treis Sinde and Sigel Dare, who had rigged explosives to detonate when the ship's weapons systems were brought online. After Stazi learned of the explosives and discussed the situation with Sigel Dare, he agreed to meet with Emperor Roan Fel to discuss an alliance against the Sith. Because he hoped that the Galactic Alliance and the New Empire would work together, he rechristened the Imperious to be the Alliance. (SWLA, SWLI, SWLW)

Imperium
This was another name for the Galactic Empire. (XW, TSC)

Impervious
This was the highest grade of durasteel armor starship plating developed by Sienar Design Systems, during the final years of the Old Republic. (SWG2P)

This was the name of Traest Kre'fey's Lambda-class shuttle. Note that it was also referred to as Elegos A'kla's shuttle in the book Dark Tide: Onslaught. It served as a sort of command ship during the evacuation of Dubrillion, supporting Rogue, Savage, and Tough Squadrons against the Yuuzhan Vong. (DTO)

Impervium
This was the brand-name of the plasteel used to create stormtrooper armor. It was originally designed with extra-vehicular safety in mind. Thus, only glancing bolts from a blaster were deflected. Any direct hit passed right through it. (PM4)

Impervium
This rare, metallic ore was often processed and mixed with other metals to create the blades of swords. (OWS)

Impeveri, Alina
The daughter of Westa Impeveri, Alina took over many of her father's dealings as he advanced in age. Alina was known to be a schemer and a liar, and her self-centered approach to the Cularin System's dealings earned her the wrath of Nirama, some years after the Battle of Naboo. (LFCW)

Impeveri, Westa
This man was a native of an Outer Rim world who earned a living as a spokesman for various criminal organizations before stowing away on a Corellia-bound freighter in an attempt to escape. He was discovered and dumped on the planet Cularin, where he quickly learned the ways of the city of Hedrett and began to assert his own power. He hired a group of cronies to spread word of his own reputation, and he developed a small following. He eventually used his new-found reputation to defeat Karid Blakken in a general election, assuming the position of Senior Counselor on the Hedrett city council, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. He was considered a competent official who seemed rto genuinely care about his constituents. In reality, he was simply biding his time and storing away information for later use, when he managed to obtain more power. (LFCW)

Implacable
This Old Republic assault ship was dispatched to the planet Geonosis to assist with the extraction of forces that had participated in the Battle of Geonosis, at the start of the Clone Wars. (RCHC)

Implacable
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer was under the command of Admiral Apwar Trigit, shortly after the Battle of Endor. He later aligned himself and the ship with Warlord Zsinj. The Implacable was the first ship to receive a new shipment of TIE Fighters from the Pakkerd Light Transport facility on Ession, and it arrived there with defensive support from the corvette Night Caller. However, the Night Caller was under the control of Wraith Squadron, and was supported by three squadrons of X-Wings hidden in the holds of the Blood Nest, which took the place of the Red Feathers. Using a maneuver known as the Loran Spitball, the Night Caller destroyed the power cells of the Implacable, leaving the ship dead in space. Trigit, realizing that he was beaten, set the Implacable to self-destruct, then headed for the escape pods. The Implacable smashed stern-first into one of Ession's moons and was destroyed. (WS)

Implacable
This Imperial Nebulon-B frigate was operative during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE, TIEP)

Implant Chip
This dome-shaped nub was developed for carrying sensitive or classified information on a tiny chip that was implanted just below the skin. When the flat side of the nub was placed against the skin and pressed, it injected the eyelash-shaped chip into the skin. Because of the chip's size, it was virtually impossible to see, and didn't show up on most bioscanners. It could be extracted at a user's destination, and the information retrieved from the chip. (MBS)

Implant Communicator
Developed by Traxes BioElectronics, this implanted communications device was originally designed to help deaf beings communicate with the outside galaxy. The implant communicator consisted of a series of miniature transceivers that were implanted just under the skin, against the skull and next to the vocal cords. The system allowed subvocal sounds to be sent to a comlink for transmission, and could receive communication signals. Communications were carried to the receiver via microwaves, electromagnetic waves, or specialized ultrawaves, all of which were set at frequencies which wouldn't interfere with normal brain activity. While the humanitarian reasons behind the implant communicator were laudable, many spies and other criminals often obtained the implants to help then communicate without being discovered. Over time, many criminals discovered that the implants could be used to monitor the actions of another being, such as during a card game. (GFT, AEG)

Implant Cyborg
This was the term used to describe any living being who replaced internal body organs or structures with cybernetic replacements. These beings employed stim implants to shape their muscles, added specialized lenses to their eyes, or added stiffeners to their skeletons. The key difference was that the cybernetic implant was unrecognizable to another being who simply looked at the implant cyborg. Most athletes throughout the galaxy were forbidden to utilize these implanted cybernetics, as it was deemed a form of cheating. (NEGD)

Implanter
This Yuuzhan Vong bio-mechanism was designed to implant surge-coral into the body of a Yuuzhan Vong during the ritual known as escalation. The implanter was a small, six-legged creature created from calcifiers, the creatures used to enslave other races with crippling growths of yorik coral. Implanters had botryoidal eyes and four blade-like arms, allowing them to cut through flesh and place surge-coral where directed. (JE, UA)

Implosion Drive
A very powerful sublight drive system, the implosion drive employs a high-pressure implosion reactor that emits an intense gravitic field that dimples the space-time continuum of realspace, causing the vessel to move. These engines were extremely high-maintenance drives, which was one reason that implosion drives were uncommon, except in the Outer Rim Territories. (SWSB)

Impounder
This Imperial Customs ship was part of the fleet which patrolled the Kalinda System, following the Battle of Endor. It was under the command of Captain Mandus Fouc. (TSK)

Impoundment-fastener

Impulse Detector
This diagnostic device was created to allow engine builders and mechanics to monitor the output of engines and drive systems. The impulse detector had three distinct parts: the main processing unit, which was carried into position and placed on the ground; a multi-frequency detector unit, which was often carried on the back or over the shoulder, and transmitted data to the main processor; and a hand-held probe, that could be used to obtain pinpoint readings along any section of an engine. (CVD)

Imrai
This was one of the many human settlements found on the planet M'haeli. Shortly after the end of the Clone Wars, Imperial forces invaded the village of Imrai.Led by an Inquisitor, the Imperial forces swept through the village and stole any Force-sensitive children they could find. (CN3)

Imru Ootmian
This was Popara the Hutt's personal starship, a Ubrikkian space yacht that had been modified for his use. The name meant "Wandering Outlander" in the Huttese language. The vessel had been in Popara's control for many centuries before the onset of the New Order, and he maintained it with loving care to keep it in top operating condition. After Popara was murdered his own offspring, Mika, the younger Hutt took the ship to Varl and dismantled it for parts to build his own vessel. Before it was dismantled, the Imru Ootmian was armed with six turbolasers, six ion cannons, and a tractor beam projector. It required a crew of eight to operate, and could accommodate up to 112 passengers and 850 metric tons of cargo. (TF)

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

Imsatad
This former Imperial officer served as a Captain in the Peace Brigade, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Imsatad served under Grand Admiral Thrawn on Wayland, until Thrawn was killed and the New Republic took control of Wayland. Imsatad later was in command of the ships that blockaded the Yavin System during the Peace Brigade's attempt to capture the Jedi students on Yavin 4. He was approached by Talon Karrde during the blockade, as Karrde tried to rescue the Jedi student. Karrde gained access to the Yavin System by tricking Imsatad into believing that he had live ysalamiri to offer the Yuuzhan Vong. Imsatad, unable to capture the Jedi, was brought before Commander Tsaak Vootuh for questioning. When he refused to turn over the Jedi students without assurances that the Peace Brigade would be compensated, Vo Lian executed Imsatad with a thrust from his amphistaff. (EVC)

Imslow
This was the slang term used to describe an Imperial Military Stop Loss Order, or IMSLO. Because many officers who were affected by an IMSLO were disgruntled by their situation, the term "imslow" came to mean "I'm Milking Scragged; Life's Over." (DSTR)

Imthitill
This city, located on the planet Ando, was located on a vast atoll. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the planet, Imthitll was the site of a massive conflagration, into which the Aqualish were throwing their droids in an effort to placate the alien invaders. (EVC)

Im'Toral XV
This male Coynite was the husband of Em'Tora VIII, and the En'Tra of the Coynites during the height of the Galactic Civil War. This position ostensibly made Im'Toral XV the leader of the Mercenary Guild of Coyn. Like his advisors, King Im'Toral XV believed that the Galactic Empire was the legitimate ruling power in the galaxy, and allied his warriors with Emperor Palpatine. However, after agreeing to meet with representatives of the New Republic in the wake of the Battle of Endor, King Im'Toral XV came to understand that the Empire was an oppressive, pro-human regime. He broke off his alliance with the Empire, and pledged his support to the New Republic. (PG3, SWJ15, OWS)

Im'Tra'Tais
This was one of the five major starports found on the planet Coyn, and was located in the city of Im'Tra'Tal. Its name literally meant "Prince-City." (PG3)

IN-4
This was a series of information droids produced during the New Order by Veril Line Systems. They could follow only basic instructions, and only if they received them from an identifiable source. The IN-4 series was based on the EG-series of power droids, having the same boxy form but equipped with a pair of heavy treads instead of legs. These droids were used extensively by many corporations and political Houses to store and retrive vital information, and had several interface jacks with which to gather more data from computer networks. In most cases, information retrieval systems were hardwired into the IN-4's computers, which meant that any attempt to steal the droid's computer core would result in the destruction of the droid as well as the information. (SESB, FTD)

Ina
This elderly Vorzydiak was one of the few who managed to survive their forced retirement at the age of seventy. Some eleven years before the Battle of Naboo, Ina remained a vital member of society, and a beacon of strength for her granddaughter, Tray. (TTW)

The Inad led a small task force to intercept the Imperial transport Omicron, but was attacked by the ships that were assigned to escort the Omicron. The Imperial forces were either destroyed or driven off when a group of starfighters from the Independence arrived to support the Inad, and the Omicron was captured. (XW, XWP)

Inadi
This New Republic Navy Captain was in command of the starship Vanguard during the Black Fleet Crisis. She worked with Commodore Brand to bring down a Yevethan T-type starship, but the Vanguard took heavy fire and was destroyed. (TT)

Inaldra
This woman was considered the primary point of contact for most smugglers who first arrived at Tansarii Point Station, during the height of the New Order. She was also sympathetic to the Alliance, and provided information on the smugglers who moved through the station, in case any of them wanted to make contact with the rebellion against the Empire. (SWGAL)

Inamo
This Alliance Nebulon-B frigate was destroyed by Imperial forces during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. The destruction of the Inamo marked the first time that Imperial TIE Fighter pilots had been able to use rockets and other missiles to bring down a Nebulon-B frigate, and many pilot trainees later practiced the mission on simulators. (TIE, TIEP)

Ince
This was the nickname of one of the clone troopers who were assigned to Torrent Company, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, after the original company was nearly wiped out on Teth. Ince was noted for his sly sense of humor, although he kept it to himself until he was comfortable with his new squad mates. Ince and Vere also spent a good portion of their time ribbing Ahsoka Tano about the Jedi Order and its restrictive ways. Despite the fact that Ince and his new comrades had not yet seen a lot of combat, they became fast friends, and they were able to bond while on a layover when the Torrent Company was assigned to the shakedown cruise of the refitted Leveler. The work-up cruise became a rescue mission when the Leveler's crew intercepted a distress call from Hallena Devis on JanFathal, and Torrent Company was tasked with carrying out the rescue. Once Agent Devis was located, Ince gathered up Devis' weakened body and ran back to their shuttle, ensuring that she was taken to safety. He was upset to learn that Vere had been killed during their escape, and when the group was forced to return to JanFathal, Ince was ready to do anything he could to avenge Vere'e death. Captain Rex assigned Ince and Boro with locating a starship they could steal in order to get back to the Leveler, but Ince sustained a serious injury to his leg during the theft. His comrades struggled to keep the wound from bleeding before Ince went into hypovolemic shock. Callista Masana and Geith Eris, two of the Jedi who were part of Master Djinn Altis' followers, drew upon the Force to slow the bleeding as best they could, but the wound was too severe to stop it completely. After arriving back aboard the Leveler, Ince's kidneys began to fail, and he slipped into a coma before finally dying from the massive loss of blood. (CWNOP)

Incinerator Gun
This form of short-range flamethrower was developed as an offensive weapon, capable of firing a blaster of chemical-based flame at a target. While effective against many targets, the incinerator gun was prone to overheating, which sometimes caused the weapon to explode. These weapons came into use during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (LAWS)

Incom Industries
Headquartered on Coromon Island, on the planet Fresia, Incom manufactured the X-wing, the T-16 skyhopper, and other starship components. They were generally considered top-of-the-line in the industries they choose to enter, a trait that Incom had maintained for over two thousand years. They chose to ignore the sweeping changes that occurred when Emperor Palpatine took control of the galaxy. The increasing pressure of Imperial rule angered many of its top scientists and engineers, and they defected to the Alliance, carrying with them the plans to the X-Wing. The remaining Incom employees were quickly nationalized by the Empire, and the company's star dwindled. Few new designs have came from Incom until the introduction of the I-7 Howlrunner, during the reemergence of Palpatine on Byss. (E4, DE2, SWSB, EGV)

Indenture
This Firespray-class ship was owned and operated by Krassis Trellix, until he tried to ambush Fenig Nabin and Ghitsa Dogder. The two woman had been transporting a group of Twi'lek dancers to Nal Hutta, and Trellix hoped to take possession of their cargo. Fen and Ghitsa were flying with Shada D'ukal and Dunc T'racen aboard the Fury, and their combined skills were no match for Trellix. He was killed when the Indenture was destroyed in battle. (TFNR)

Independence
This MC80a cruiser was used as the Alliance's flagship, during the years leading up to the Galactic Civil War. It was one of the primary training facilities for newly-recruited Alliance starpilots. Many months before the Battle of Yavin, the Independence was later attacked by the Star Destroyer Merciless, but it managed to survive. Several months later, the crew of the Independence was able to prevent the crew of the Star Destroyer Immortal from capturing Princess leia Organa and the Tantive IV, sparking a series of confrontations between the two huge vessels. The Independence was nearly captured when the Captain of the Immortal launched a surprise attack, just before the Alliance began moving its operations to the moon Yavin IV. Thanks to the starfighter pilots who served aboard the ship, the Independence was able to fight its way to freedom and jumped into hyperspace. Upon reaching Yavin IV, the ship underwent a series of repair, restoring its shields and electronics systems to full operation. During the Battle of Endor, the Independence served as the Alliance fleet's communications control center. Years later, the Independence was one of the many New Republic warships called into action against the Yuuzhan Vong. (XW, TIE, CCG11, GMR7, XWP)

Independent Company of Settlers
This was the official name used by the group of 3,000 former Imperial supporters who wanted to live in peace after the Battle of Endor. Led by former Admiral Daala, the group maintained a fleet of ships which transported it from world to world, hoping to find a planet on which they could remain loyal to the New Order while separated from the New Republic. Many of the members were formal Navy officers who grew tired of the political posturing of individuals, corporations, and worlds. They entered into an agreement with the Pedducian Warlord K'iin to live on 1.5 billion acres of land on Pedducis Chorios. They were forced to defend their planet when the New Republic entered the Chorios Systems to secure the sector after the spread of the Death Seed plague. (POT)

Independent Shippers Association
This association of independent transport ship captains was formed during the second decade of the New Republic. It was created in response to the decentralization of certain monopolies under the Republic's watchful eye. Han Solo was appointed an official liaison to the Association, and was one of the primary mediators between the Republic and the Association. (SOP)

Independent Traders' Infonet
This was one of the smaller newsnets available to the beings of the galaxy, during the height of the New Order. ITI carried information relevant and timely to the independent shipper, and found itself under the scrutiny of the Empire for many of its stories. Many beings in the media believed that ITI remained operational because it did not openly condone smuggling. However, because its headquarters location was unknown, Imperial agencies were suspicious of the reporting style, which seemed to provide messages to smugglers who could correctly interpret the stories. (SWJ3, SWJ8, OWS)

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

Inderrin Tree
This species of graceful, blue trees was native to the planet Aruza. (TBH)

Indigo Squadron
This was the designation of the ground-based vehicle team dispatched by the New Republic to defend the base on the planet Saarn from Imperial capture. Indigo Squadron consisted of two groups of Arrow-23 landspeeders and two groups of armed XP-38 landspeeders. (SWJ6)

Indigo Tower
Modelled after the Skysitter Restaurant - some would, shamelessly stealing from the old restaurant's style - the Indigo Tower was one of the most exclusive restaurants found on the planet Coruscant, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. Like its predecessor, the Indigo Tower's main restaurant was located atop a central building, and rotated slowly to provide diners with a view of the Coruscant skyline. The main tower was contructed from blue-black durasteel, which gave the building its name, and the interiors spaces were also decorated in deep blue colors. The décor of the restaurant was luxurious, further adding to the building's status among the elite facilities on the planet. (FJ2)

Indikir
This arid rock was the second planet in the Bseto System. (SWJ6)

Indiko
This was one of the multitude of Imperial-class Star Destroyers which made up the Imperial Navy fleet, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE)

This heavily cratered and valleyed moon orbited the planet Kalarba, near Hosk Station. IG-88 flies near it in an effort to shake the pursuit of Olag Greck. The planetoid supports the unusual B'rknaa race. Indobok itself is, in actuality, a single massive adult B'rknaa. The Kalarba System was overtaken by the Yuuzhan Vong, shortly after the Battle of Fondor. (DRO, BP)

Indola
A sloth-like, sabertoothed predator native to the planet Dar'Or, the indola had received fierce competition from the elix, which was introduced to the planet to save it from extinction. The indola naturally hunted the Ri'Dar race for food. (GG4)

An Imperial-class Star Destroyer built at the Kuat Drive Yards during the Galactic Civil War. It was assigned to patrol Darpa Sector, and was based out of Esseles. (SWJ9)

Indomitable
This New Republic Majestic-class battle cruiser was employed by Han Solo, in an effort to try and draw Zsinj out and thin his defenses. It was later reassigned to the Fifth Battle Group and Commodore Brand, where it saw action during the blockade of the Koornacht Cluster. (CPL, SOL, TT)

Indomitable
This Carrack-class light cruiser was part of the Old Republic's Home Fleet Strike Group Five, which defended the planet Coruscant during the height of the Clone Wars. This ship saw heavy fighting during the First Battle of Coruscant, and was part of the main force that attacked the Invisible Hand. However, the Indomitable was also among the first warships to be abandoned during the battle, although her commander continued to operate her weaponry from a remote location after fleeing the dying ship. He then maneuvered it to block any possible escape routes General Grievous might try to use. (E3N)

Indomitable
This was one of the many Strike-class cruisers that made up the front lines of the Imperial Naval fleet. (TIE)

Indomitable
This Scythe-class battle cruiser served as the flagship of the naval fleet that supported Admiral Gar Stazi, during the year that followed the Sith-Imperial War. As the years went by and the Sith gained a greater control over the galaxy, the fleet dwindled in size, but Admiral Stazi managed to keep the Indomitable true to its name. The ship served as the flagship of the Alliance Remnant, and was at the forefront of the mission to steal the Imperious from the Mon Calamari shipyards. Admiral Stazi placed the Indomitable between his own fleet and that of the Imperial forces at the shipyards, until the Imperious was under Alliance control. He then moved all the ships within the shipyards, and ordered them to move around the planet and escape into hyperspace. Although Stazi planned to remain with the Indomitable, Captain Jaius Yorub knew that the Galactic Alliance needed Stazi as a living leader, rather than as a dead martyr. Yorub had Jhoram Bey take the Admiral to safety, while Yorub remained at the bridge of the Indomitable. After evacuating the remaining crew and ensuring that the Alliance's forces were safely away, Yorub then rammed the Indomitable into the shipyards themselves, destroying a large portion of the shipyards and taking out several Imperial warships. (SWLI)

Indona
This forested continent, located on the planet Cholganna, was noted as the primary breeding grounds of the nexu. (SWDB)

Indra
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 Indra referred to green fields and pasture lands, or a garden. (GCG)

Indrexu
This woman was Xim the Despot's consort. (OWS)

Indrexu Confederation
This group of politically-allied planets was located in the Indrexu Spiral, and was once part of Xim the Despot's empire, many years before the formation of the Old Republic. As such, it formed the rimward boundary of the Tion Cluster, and was briefly considered part of the Tion Hegemony. After the establishment of the Empire, the Indrexu Confederation was separated from the Tion Hegemony and reclassified as the Indrexu Sector. (GORW)

Indrexu Sector
This area of the galaxy was incorporated by the Empire, after it stripped the Indrexu Confederation from the Tion Hegemony and made it its own sector. (GORW)

Indrexu Spiral
This mass of protomatter and cometary debris was located in the Tion Cluster. (TF)

Indriummsegh, Rennimdius B'thog

Indu Council
This was the primary governmental body of the planet Indu San. (SWJ6)

Indu San
This Outer Rim world was the primary planet in the Indu San System. Although it holds a remote location in the galaxy, Indu San was an active member of the Old Republic. When the Empire assumed control of the galaxy, the first governor allowed the old government to smoothly transition to the New Order, and the planet was a model of Imperial life. It was during this time that one of the original EV-series supervisor droids had been installed at a prestigious hotel, and was forcing poor-performing droids to take oil baths that were later set on fire. After the first governer had served his term, the subsequent governor instituted a harsher regimen, and the populace rebelled. The rebellion continued until after the Battle of Endor, when the New Republic sent a force to assist the populace. The governor requested aid from the Empire, but the fragmented Imperial forces couldn't help. He was deposed, and the old government was re-instated. The president of the planet's Congressional Council waffled on whether or not to support the New Republic, and was quickly assassinated. The average day on Indu San lasted 25 standard hours, and its year lasted 382 local days. (SWJ6, NEGD)

Induction Hyperphase Generator
This was a key component of the massive superlaser that was designed and manufactured for the first Death Star. It was believed that there were two or three of these devices installed on the Death Star, to take hypermatter from the Death Star's hyperdrive and literally align it before it was injected into the firing field amplifier for dispersal to the beam emitters located around the edge of the superlaser "eye." (ICS)

Indupar
This planet was the capital world of the Induparan Crown Worlds. (PP)

Industrial Automaton
This company was best-known as the producers of astromech droids, namely the R2 series. Industrial Automaton was originally formed during the Old Republic when Industrial Intelligence merged with Automata Galactica. The corporation became one of the original Contributing Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. After a series of injuries resulted from faulty R-series astromechs, all of which had rocket systems built into their legs, IA was forced to cap the lifetime of all R2-, R3-, and R4-series astromechs at twenty years. Note that The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology claims that Industrial Intellect merged with Automata Galactic to form Industrial Automata, and that the merger occurred just before the Galactic Civil War. (E4, TLC, CSA, HNN5, NEGW)

Industrial Intellect
see Industrial Intelligence (NEGW)

Industrial Intelligence
This Old Republic droid intelligence and programming corporation was bought out by, and merged, with Automata Galactica to form the mega-corporation Industrial Automaton. Corporate leaders at Industrial Intelligence were not happy with the hostile takeover, and locked up many of their corporate secrets in heavily-encrypted computer files. Rumors claimed that the encryption had been done by a Givin programmer, and the fractal combinations required to open the files were impossible to crack. Note that The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology names this corporation as Industrial Intellect. (SWJ7, NEGW)

Industrial Starports
This group of complexes was located on the planet Lazerian IV. They were used exclusively for the import of raw materials to the industrial corporations of the planet, and were off-limits to public transportation. (TSK)

Industrial Swampfields
This was the name given to the Ergeshui swamps in which the Ergesh "grow" their organic technologies. Many corporations would love to discover the secrets of the Industrial Swampfields, but the Ergesh were very reluctant to share them. (PG2)

Industrious Thoughts
This Diamalan warship served as Senator Miatamia's command ship during the blockade of Bothawui, shortly after the revelation of the Bothan involvement in the destruction of Caamas. When saboteurs took control of the weapons aboard the Predominance and began firing on Drev'starn, the Industrious Thoughts moved in to cut off their attack. In the ensuing system-wide communications jamming, Miatamia failed to receive the message to stand down. (VOF)

Indyup
A species of tree native to Ithor, it had a gnarled looking trunk. (TME)

Inebriation Algorithm
This was the name given to the specialized programming created by I-5YQ, during his tenure at the Rimsoo Seven medical hospital on Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. After a series of discussions with Den Dhur, I-5YQ determined that it might be liberating to esxperience a feeling of drunkenness. Many other unusual experiences had opened parts of his memory, I-5YQ figured that inebriation might open up more. (MJH)

Inertial Compensator
This small, artificial gravity projector was used in starships of all sizes to assist passengers in overcoming the effects of acceleration, deceleration, and maneuvering. It allowed a pilot to put a starship through maneuvers that created intense G-forces, as the compensator kept the pilot from blacking out by adjusting the gravity surrounding the pilot. Inertial compensators also helped other crew members and passengers remain unaffected by sudden movements of the ship, either from routine turns or while maneuvering through asteroids. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Gavin Darklighter and Traest Kre'fey discovered that the inertial compensator could also perform another duty. If the compensator's field was adjusted to extend some thirteen meters from its source, protecting an area beyond the shields of the ship, it would actually negate the effects of Yuuzhan Vong gravity weapons. If several starfighters using this double protection ganged up on a coralskipper, the organic ship would actually implode as its onboard systems overloaded from trying to increase power to the gravity wells. (WS, DTO, RDV)

Inertial Damper
This starship technology was used to protect living beings from the effects of high velocity and changes of direction while traveling through space. Similar in most respects to inertial compensators, inertial dampers worked by using gravitic generators to counteract the local effects of inertia. This technology was especially important on starships that were capable of flying through hyperspace, since the acceleration required to reach supralight speeds would crush any unprotected being. Because of the use of gravitic generators, inertial dampers rarely worked when a starship was in planetary orbit, since the planet's own gravity continued to assert itself on the starship. (CN1, TFUN)

Inert-screen Load Shifter
This type of droid, used primarily in engineering facilities and shipyards, was a tall, boxy automaton with short, stubby legs. They use a special system of inertial modifiers to create a low-gravity screen around them, enabling them to move heavy equipment with relative ease. Kuat of Kuat used one of these droids to hide the falsified recording he had made to frame Prince Xizor in the deaths of Owen and Beru Lars, but the droid failed to be delivered before its courier, Ree Duptom, was killed. (MA)

Inexie
This was a common nickname used by the naval officers of the Galactic Republic to describe the Inexpugnable-class Tactical Command Ship, during the era of the Mandalorian Wars. (KORH)

Inexorable
This Imperial bulk cruiser was part of Admiral Greelanx's fleet which attacked Nar Shaddaa during the early years of the New Order. It was one of the last ships to join the engagement, since it had been placed at the rear of the attack formation. (THG)

Inexorable
This Imperial-I class Star Destroyer was part of the small Imperial fleet which was commanded by Admiral Thrawn during the years immediately after the Battle of Endor. It later became part of his own fleet following his re-emergence from the Unknown Regions as a Grand Admiral. The Inexorable was one of the Star Destroyers that Thrawn used to attack Bpfassh, as one of his first moves against the New Republic. The Inexorable was also the ship on which Thrawn first tested his prototype cloaking device, after raiding the Emperor's storehouse on Wayland for its schematics. (HTTE, WG)

Inexorable
This was one of the many Victory-class Star Destroyers which were still active, as part of the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Inexpugnable-class Tactical Command Ship
This massive, disc-shaped warship was produced by the Rendili/Vanjervalis Drive Yards, during the years following the Great Sith War. Only six of these vessels were produced, and they were designed to be escorted into battle by Hammerhead-class cruisers. This led many military observers to the conclusion that Rendili/Vanjervalis only produced the Inexpugnable-class ship to sell more Hammerhead-class cruisers. This ship's distinctive design was punctuated by the downward-pointing central section, which contained the main control areas and served to stabilize the entire ship on flight. The main tactical center was referred to by crewmembers as the wishing well, since it was created with a transparent deck and holographic displays that appeared to be suspended in midair. This allowed the tactical command team aboard the ship to coordinate the activities of up to sixty-four other ships. This configuration often resulted in extreme vertigo for new members, and quite a few veteran members, of the crew.

In order to handle the data and computing power required to monitor other ships, the Inexpugnable-class ships were equipped with high-performance systems produced by Vanjervalis Systems. Although it was designed as a tactical command vessel, the Inexpugnable-class ship was more than capable of handling itself in battle. Each of these ships was equipped with armament that consisted of double turbolaser batteries, turbolaser batteries, point-defense laser cannons, and a tractor beam generator. Its hangar bays were developed to carry and deploy 144 Aurek tactical strikefighters, twenty-four Chela-class starfighters, twenty-four Conductor-class short-haul landing craft, six Ministry-class orbital shuttles, and various other support ships.. (KORH, WOTC)

Infant of Shaa
This tiny statue was carved by the Seylotts as a way to contain large amounts of Force energy. Shaa was the primary deity of the Seylotts, and was often referred to as the Mother. The Seylotts carved a larger statue of Shaa to control the Infant and its power. Among the Seylotts, the Infant was known as the Destroyer of Worlds, for when its Force energy was released, it was believed that the resulting explosion could tear an entire planet apart. Shortly before the Clone Wars, the Infant was recovered by Jango Fett, who was under the employment of General Ashaar Khorda. Khorda desired the Infant for its power, and hoped to destroy Coruscant with it. Jango was convinced by his rival, Zam Wesell, to retrieve the Infant from Khorda's possession, in order to prevent the destruction of Coruscant. General Khorda nearly succeeded in unleashing the power of the Infant in a Coruscant power center, but Zam Wesell's ability to change her shape allowed her to grab the falling Infant before it could smash into the power core. The Jedi Master, Yarael Poof, then died trying to keep the Infant from exploding. The bounty hunters later returned the statue to Seylott. (JF, ZW)

Infantry Support Platform
This repulsorlift-poweed speeder was developed by Arakyd Industries for use by the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. Instead of relying on repulsorlift engines to move about, the so-called ISP speeder employed a powerful turbofan mounted at the rear of the vehicle, providing enough propulsion to reach speeds near 100 kilometers per hour. Small repulsorlifts kept the speeder just above the surface of the water, aided by a terrain-following laser scanner. Because these vehicles were used over muddy or swampy terrain, they became known as swamp speeders. A pair of twin blasters was mounted to the nose of the ISP speeder for weaponry. This speeder was a two-person vehicle, allowing one clone to pilot while the other handled the blasters. Note that the Wizards of the Coast website indicates that the ISP speeder was built by Uulshos Manufacturing. (X3, VD3, SWDB, WOTC)

Infantry Support Weapon
Also known as an ISW, this was the term used by Imperial military personnel to describe any weapons system that could be carried into battle, set up, and fired by a team of no more than four troopers. (ISB)

Infectious Moss
This form of sickly, fuzzy, disgustingly-colorer fungus grew on the planet Kuras III. It survived by consuming the minerals from the ground around it, and could actually absorb minerals from living flesh. (PG3)

Inferno
This unusual starship was owned and operated by Vilmarh Grahrk. It was essentially a flying wing, resembling a rust-colored gackle bat, with a pair of cylindrical engines mounted in the middle and a single tail fin. The ship measured just over ten meters from nose to stern, and had a wingspan ov twenty-seven meters. However, the Inferno stood just a few meters tall, giving the ship an exceptionally small profile for sensors to lock onto. Three lasers cannons were hidden within each wing, while a short-range ion cannon was concealed in the underside. This allowed the ship to appear harmless at first glance, and often gave Villie the element of surprise. Although this weaponry was average compared to other such ships, the Inferno made up for any lack of firepower with its sheer speed. It was equipped with a Class 0.8 hyperdrive, and its ion drive system could propel it through atmosphere at 1,200 kilometers per hour. Villie was assisted in operating the craft by an NT 600 astrogation droid, which was programmed to make the Inferno practically self-aware. (T3, T8, NEGC, NEGV)

Inferno
This was one of several podraces that were sanctioned by the pro circuit, and wound through the coastal areas of the Baroo continent of the planet Baroonda, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (RAC)

Inferno
This was a mid-level starfighter engine system produced by MandalMotors, during the early years of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Inferno
This was the brand name of a series of firefighting automata produced by the Corporate Sector Authority. These boxy droids were equipped with repulsorlift engines for mobility, and were given a wealth of firefighting equipment. They were well-armored, and could attack a fire at its source without being burned or damaged. The Inferno droid was developed to work autonomously or in groups, and was configured so that individual droids could snap together, forming a larger firefighting unit. In this way, the Inferno could have sprayers pointing in two directions at once, providing better coverage. As part of the Inferno system, a host droid was also produced, which hovered at a safe distance and could refill the flame-retardant chemicals of individual Inferno units. (EGD)

Infiltrator
This was the name of the Sienar Advanced Projects Laboratories first Infiltrator starship, given to Darth Maul by his Master, Darth Sidious. In later years, this ship would be known as the Sith Infiltrator. Note that The Dark Side Sourcebook indicates that the name of this ship was the Scimitar. (DMSH, DSSB)

Infiltrator Gloves
These specialized gloves were equipped with an advanced artificial intelligence unit that allowed the user to tap into nearby computer systems cables or wireless transmission networks. The gloves also stabilized the user's hands for fine detail work. (KOTOR)

Infiltrator Series Assassin Droid
This attack droid was produced by the Colicoids during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo, before full-time production was begun on the Droideka. Like the Droideka, the Infiltrator resembled the Colicoid physical form, with a squat body and ther "head" on a curving neck. However, the Infiltrator was designed around a rectangular central body, with four sturdy legs providing support and mobility. A pair of arms mounted atop the body were tipped with long, razor-sharp claws, which were capable of cutting through metal and flesh with ease. The head of the Infiltrator was very similar to that of the Droideka, with a curving plate protecting it from above. On each shoulder, the Infiltrator was armed with an E-11 blaster rifle, and several other mounting nodes were provided on the body for attaching dart throwers, grappling hooks, and other implements. The primary mission profile of the Infiltrator series involved remote assassiantions and abductions, requiring that the droid be programmed to operate on its own. Its razor-sharp claws allowed the Infiltrator enter chambers, blast doors, and even starship hulls with relative ease, and its weapons systems were more than a match for most defense teams. Because these droids could operate in a vacuum, they could be deployed to the hull of a target ship while it was on the ground. The droid would then wait for a pre-programmed period of time before launching its assault, tearing through the hull and eliminating the crew before acquiring its target. It then waited for a pick-up vessel to arrive, turning over its captive to its owners. (UA)

Infiltrator Series Fighter
This long-range fighter was developed Republic Sienar Systems, during the years following the Battle of Ruusan. It was capable of transporting up to six passengers, and was armed with light weaponry and minimal hull plating. The mission profile of the Infiltrator series fighter called for speed and maneuverability. (DBRT)

Infiltrators
One of the most elite sections of the Alliance Special Forces, Infiltrators used stealth and cunning to get into Imperial installations prior to an actual assault. They gathered intelligence and "softened up" any Imperial resistance, before the main ground force attacked. They assisted in bringing down perimeter defense and allowed the main force an easier access to a target. They were considered the 5th Regiment of the SpecForces of the Alliance. Although the Infiltrators were disbanded shortly after the Battle of Endor, many members of the Infiltrators took positions with Red Team Five. (RASB, ROE, TFNR)

Infinez
This interrogative word from the Bocce language translated into Basic as "where". (GPB)

Infinez tope ur nockneez?
This phrase from the Bocce language meant "Where is my seat?" when translated into Basic. (GPB)

Infinez topi lopiz?
This phrase from the Bocce language was often heard in spaceports throughout the galaxy. It translated into Basic as "Where is my luggage?" (GPB)

Infinite Empire
This was another name used to describe the ancient Rakatan Empire. (OWS)

Infinite Gate
see Infinity Gate (SWIE)

Infinity
A smuggling ship ship owned by the Dim-U priests of Tatooine, the Infinity was piloted by BoShek just before the Imperial blockade of Tatooine. It was believed that BoShek managed to break Han Solo's record for the Kessel Run in this ship, although many purists argued that he made the run with an empty hold, thus placing his record in dispute. BoShek was flying with bogus transponder codes, and was trying to get the ship back to Tatooine for a new set of codes when he was intercepted by two Star Destroyers. He was forced to land the Infinity in the Dune Sea. (TME, SWI89)

Infinity Gate
This unusual technology was developed by the Kwa during the early millennia of the galaxy. They used these gates to travel throughout the universe. They created Star Chambers to guard and protect the integrity of the gates, allowing the gates to remain operative almost indefinitely. One of these gates was located on the planet Ova, and the master gate was believed to have been located on Dathomir. When the Witches of Dathomir tried to open their gate, in an effort to escape their captivity, they activated a fail-safe device that shut the Gate down. It also destroyed the Gate on Ova, subsuming the planet and literally sucking it out of existence. (NEGC, NECH)

Infinity Wave
This was the name given to the wave of incredible power which was released whenever an Infinite Gate was destroyed. It created intense distortions of space in its vicinity for many days. The Witches of Dathomir, shortly after the Battle of Naboo, discovered a way to harness the power of the Infinite Gates and actually send out an Infinity Wave as a kind of weapon. Zalem and her clan hoped to use the power of the Wave to destroy Coruscant and earn their ultimate freedom. Their plan nearly succeeded, but Quinlan Vos destroyed the Star Chamber on Dathomir, stripping the Wave of its source of power. (SWIE)

Inflexible
An Imperial-class Star Destroyer built at the Kuat Drive Yards. (SWJ9)

Influenza necrosi

Infochant
Presumably a shortened form of information merchant, this was a slang term that was used to describe any underworld operative who sold information for a living. These individuals were also referred to as sluicers. (GG2, HTSB, SWI89, OWS)

InfoCore
This device was essentially a subspace relay system. However, it was a military device used to send a tight-beam transmission to a predetermined source, and was used by espionage agents to receive regular bursts of data from a planted droid or other device. The InfoCore could also be told to download information on the fly, by sending it a pre-determined, high-frequency signal. (SWJ10)

Infopanel
A recording device which collecting audio and video inputs to document messages. Infopanels were often used near doors to personal residences, so that the owners can receive messages from visitors if they were away. (LO)

Information Cataloging Droid
This was the general term used to describe the librarian droids that were produced by Kalibac Industries, during the final decades of the Old Republic. These flat-headed droids moved about on small repulsorlift engines, and were equipped with a pair of manipulator arms. These units were designed and programmed to swiftly locate or replace datafiles and records that were stored in library archives. (NEGD)

Information Matrix Center
Known as an IMAC, the information matrix center was developed by Ulban Arms to help control the actions of a droid. The IMAC was part of the droid's central processing unit, and allowed the droid to receive communications from a command center. The unit also sent information about the droid's status to the command center, where decisions were made on what to do next. The IMAC was initially installed in the Class 1 Defense Unit. (SWJ10)

Infradig Rays
This was a term used to describe a wide range of light wavelengths, most of which were in the infrared spectrum, which were emitted by high-tech lighting equipment. Infradig rays became something of a buzzword during the last years of the Old Republic, as underhanded retailers began selling specialized glasses to block these otherwise-harmless rays from reaching the eyes. (BF6)

Infradryer
This was a high-powered drying system that was used on cleaning droids, during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. The use of infradryers, which drew upon infrared energy, allowed cleaning droids to quickly dry an area that had recently been cleaned. (FJ3)

Inglet, Candobar
This Sluissi served as the Khedive of the planet Sluis Van, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. After Sluis Van threatened to secede from the Old Republic to join the Separatists, Inglet later offered to assist the Jedi Knights in capturing the Scarlet Thranta. Because of Sluis Van's political position, the offer was met with great skepticism. When the Sluis Sector officially split from the Republic, Inglet became a vocal supporter of the Separatist movement. (HNN5, SWI69)

Ingo
This planet, located in the Bortele Cluster in the Mid Rim, was covered with desolate salt flats and craters. Humans colonized the world, but their existence was a constant struggle against the elements. Sometime after the end of the Clone Wars, C-3PO and R2-D2 were dumped from the starship of a smuggler who had won them in a sabacc match. The smuggler was trying to escape from the local police, and ditched his cargo in an effort to make a speedy getaway. The two droids were eventually salvaged by Jord Dusat and Thall Joben. (DCAR, TGD)

Ingo
This was the designation of a group of Z-95 Headhunters that were part of the Dimok naval forces, during the latter stages of the Sepan Civil War. (TIEP)

Ingo Wavlud Manuscript
This was another name for the Wavlud Manuscript, using the author's first name. (EGF)

Ingoda
This Hutt was a minor crimelord was known as an entrepreneur and slavemaster who "collected" Theelin slaves as a cruel hobby. However, his business acumen was no match for more infamous Hutts, and Ingoda regularly found himself indebted to Jabba during the final decades of the Old Republic. Ingoda was forced to sell two of his Theelin Divas, Funquita and Shaliqua, in order to pay off his debts to Jabba. (SWDB)

Ingoian
This humanoid race was characterized by the clump of beard-like tentacles on their chins. (SESB)

I'ngre, Herian
This Bith broke the traditional mold and openly joined the Alliance, during the Galactic Civil War. A native of Clak'Dor 4, she found the pro-human stance of Emperor Palpatine quite distasteful, and found the diversity of the Alliance to be refreshing. She later joined Rogue Squadron, and was killed during the Malrev Incident. She had crashed on the planet, and was rescued by Dllr Nep. The pair used the last of their strength to fly Herian's X-Wing into the temple of a Dark Side adept and destroy it, killing the magician as well. (XWRR, HXW)

Inherit
This was a slang term used by gamblers during the era of the Galactic Civil War to describe the act of illegally obtaining goods or credits. (SWJ4, OWS)

Inheritance Exemption
This law was put into place by the ancient leaders of the Kuat ruling families, and stipulated that the Kuat family would maintain control of Kuat Drive Yards without exception. Each succeeding Kuati generation would supply a leader for the vast starship manufacturing facility, who would work with the interests of all ruling families. This exemption was enacted when it was discovered that the Kuat family had the inherent skills needed to manage the corporation. Some families, such as the Knylenn and Kadnessi, chafed at the exemption, but were forced to agreed that the Kuat family brought prestige and wealth to all Kuati families. (SLS)

Inhibition Field
This was the name given to the force field used by the Yuuzhan Vong to contain prisoners. Generated by a specialized dovin basal, the inhibition field was a dome-shaped force field which could not be breeched without a being taking severe electrical and neurological damage. Many of these fields were modified to allow the insertion of a Yuuzhan Vong executioner. (HT)

Inicus Mont
This limestone pillar was located on the moon Mina, and was a religious icon among the Vashan people. The interior of the pillar was riddled with caves and tunnels, and the exterior was dotted with entrances to the caves. The pillar contained forty-two distinct caves, set aside for various religious devotions. It was located in a remote corner of Mina's landmass, and was accessible only by traversing a winding path that passed through steep valleys and across swift-moving rivers. Each year at mid-winter, the most perfect of the Vashan bodhis appear at the cave entrances and cough up their sin-bullets. The pilgrims who trekked to Mina then gather up the sin-bullets and consume them, hoping to grind them in their true stomachs and absolve themselves of their sins. (GMR9)

Inikomee
This was a common name among the Saheelindeeli race. (GORW)

Inion, Shella
This beautiful woman was an aspiring actress who lived on Kal'Shebbol with her family during the last years of the New Order. She was wounded when the Alliance staged an attack on her home town, and her entire family was killed in the battle. Vowing to exact revenge on the Alliance, Shella disappeared and took on the guise of the bounty hunter Mist. Mist went to work for Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne, as Shella wanted every chance she could to strike back at the Alliance and, later, the New Republic. When Mist met up with Jessa Dajus, during the Battle of Kathol, she was recognized as being Shella Inion, and Dajus revealed that it was Sarne who had staged the assault on her home town. Dajus knew this because she had been one of the planners. Shella realized that her crusade against the New Republic was misguided. She cut off her relationship with Sarne and used her skills to assist the New Republic in defeating Sarne on Kathol. (E)

Iniro, Falan
This hot-headed and impulsive Corellian was a competent sabacc player and pilot who lived on Nar Shaddaa during the early years of the New Order. He volunteered his piloting skills and his starship, the Take That!, to the defense of Nar Shaddaa when the Empire attacked the moon. However, his impulsive nature cost him his life when he jumped the gun during the counter-attack. The Nar Shaddaa command post issued an order, which Iniro thought was "Prepare to engage." In actuality, all Iniro heard was "Prepare to..." before he leapt into battle. This left him stranded and alone against the Carrack-class cruisers making up the picket line. The cruisers ripped the Take That! apart with turbolaser fire in no time. (THG)

Inisa
This was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife. In this case, a female will take on their husband's grandfather's name for official matters. The name Inisa came from a species of sweet-smelling flower that was native to Cerea. (GCG)

Inisa
This sweet-smelling flower was native to the planet Cerea, and was used to make a variety of perfumes. (GCG)

Originally developed on the planet Sullust, this form of specialized footwear contained specialized bladders that could be injected with fluids to provide thermal protection. (SWG2P)

Injector
A tool found in most medkits, an injector was used to administer pain killers and stimulants. It was a small, disk-shaped implement that was green on one side (where the stimulant was stored) and red on the other (where the pain killer was stored). Small needles on each side were projected when the injector was placed on a patient's neck, allowing the drugs to be placed into the patient's bloodstream. (LCF)

This Caamasi led a delegation of Old Republic diplomats to Aargau, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, to investigate the InterGalactic Banking Clan's affiliation with the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Much of In'kro's work centered around the IBC's funding of Hailfrire droid production, since a large number of the droids ended up in Separatist armies. (SWI65)

Inkur
This was a common name among members of the Ugnaught race. (UANT)

Inleshat
This species of Iskalonian was native to the planet Drexel II. They were characterized by their silky, white hair, webbed hands with three fingers each, pupil-less eyes, and pointed ears.

Inner Circle
This was the name used to describe the leadership of the Assassin's Guild, during the early years of the New Order. Nearly half the Inner Circle was killed during tis brief feud with Gallandro, which ended when the Inner Circle accepted the fact that they were never going to eliminate him. In an effort to put an end to the feud, the Inner Circle offered Gallandro a chance to join them, an offer he politely refused. (CSA)

Inner Circle
This was the term used by General Wedge Antilles to describe the innermost group of individuals he implicitly trusted, during the period of time following the Battle of Coruscant and the death of Borsk Fey'lya. Wedge and his forces retook Borleias from the Yuuzhan Vong invaders, then made a break with the surviving members of the New Republic Advisory Council. In order to ensure that the forces on Borleias were not corrupted by political or alien elements, Wedge only admitted his most trusted allies to the Inner Circle. Among the original members were his wife, Iella, Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade Skywalker, Tycho Celchu, Lando Calrisian, Booster Terrik, Danni Quee, Gavin Darklighter, and Corran Horn. In one of their earliest meetings, General Antilles called the New Republic "a dead, oversizing hulk with a decentralized nervous system, whose extremities don't realize that its heart isn't beating anymore." (EL1)

Inner Core
This was a seldom-used term that described the innermost star systems of the Core Worlds. (TCW1)

Inner Council
This ruling body of the New Republic began existence as the primary circle of leaders within the Provisional Council. The Inner Council was considered a less formal, more casual gathering where issued could be discussed before bringing them to the greater attention of the provisional Council. After the dissolution of the Provisional Council, the Inner Council became the focal point of the Republic's leadership. (HTTE, TNR)

Inner Council
This was the name of the leadership body of the New Regime of Brigia, during the early years of the New Order. (HSL)

This searing ball of rock was the innermost planet of the Recopi System. (CCW)

Inner Orbit
This exhibit, staged at the Royal Icqui Aquaria on Coruscant during the last decades of the Old Republic, features ocean-dwelling creatures that existed in molten seas and near volcanic vents on dozens of planets. (CCW)

Inner Rim Mercanaries
This band of mercenaries sprang up in the Inner Rim section of the galaxy during the height of the Clone Wars. Although their influence waned during the early years of the New Order, the Inner Rim Mercenaries gained power again during the Galactic Civil War. (SWMW)

Inner Rim Territories
The section of the galaxy once considered the furthest reaches of expansion, it was once known simply as The Rim during much of the Old Republic's early millennia. However, as hyperspace explorers began venturing beyond this area, it was renamed the Inner Rim. When the Empire began taking more and more resources from the Inner Rim worlds, many of its inhabitants left the Inner Rim and moved out into the Outer Rim. (SWSB, EGP)

Inner River District
This area was part of the city of Sodonna, on the planet Teyr. (SOL)

This financial institution, based on the planet Paigu, grew to become the Commonality's primary banking and financial institution, more than 1,500 years before the onset of the Clone Wars. (GORW)

Inner Wash
This was the name of one of the shallow seas that were located in the Swamplands, on the planet Desevro. The Inner Wash was located between the East and Outer Washes. (GORW)

Inner Zuma
This area of the galaxy was located above the galactic plane, and sat upon the area of the galaxy known as the Outer Zuma. Both areas of the galaxy were located along the border between the Outer Rim Territories and the area of the Unknown Regions known as Wild Space. The Inner Zuma was made up of three galactic sectors: Moddell, Spar, and Ablajeck. Much of the Inner Zuma was uncharted until about 1,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Several centuries before the Battle of Yavin, the Inner and Outer Zuma regions were considered part of the Unknown Regions, until explorers began scouting their locations and pushing the boundaries of known space ever outward. However, eddies and sinkholes in the hyperspace continuum in the area led to many lost expeditions and the formation of exceptionally dangerous travel routes. (GMR9)

Innerdome Arena
This sporting venue was located on Nwarcol Point, along the Sisar Run. (SSR)

Innis, Tarn
This graduate of the Imperial Academy was considered too average to ever assume command. He was given a position in the Supply branch of the military, where he eventually earned the command of the Shallow March Supply Post shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Over the years since taking this command, Innis developed a network of informants that provided him incredible detail on the logistics of the Imperial army. He often passed this information on to the Alliance via pirates and smugglers like Talon Karrde. (CRO)

Innk, Yo-Hann
This Kadas'sa'Nikto was a known criminal who escaped from prison shortly after the Battle of Naboo. The Republic Correctional Authority was unable to pinpoint his location, and offered a bounty for his capture. Jango Fett later claimed this bounty on the planet Tatooine, during a mission to locate Gardulla the Hutt. (BH)

Inntak
This entirely heartless Rodian bounty hunter hunted only for his fellow Rodians, taking bounties only for rogue Rodians and those who had angered Navik the Red. Inntak was a member of the Chattza clan, but cared little for clan affiliations. He maintained a top-secret contact with Entukan Yesosko, who fed him information on rogues who attended performances of the Rodian Galactic Drama Troupe. (SPG)

Inondo, Boma
This was one of the many Ithorians who allied themselves with the Imperial forces that took control of the planet Ithor, during the height of the New Order. Although Inondo served as Momaw Nadon's chief of security aboard the Tafanda Bay, he shed his loyalties to the other Ithorian when Nadon was exiled from Ithor. When Nadon returned to Ithor with a group of Alliance operatives, in the hopes of turning his people against the Empire, Boma Inondo tried to stand in his way. During a brief struggle in a forrolow berry-processing plant, a young Alliance operative knocked Inondo into a vat of berries. Inondo tried to shoot them with his blaster, but had become clogged and exploded instead. Inondo died in the blast. (MIS7)

Inondrar
This man served as the chief communications officer aboard the Star Destroyer Anakin Solo during the height of the Galactic Alliance's war with The Confederation. When Jacen Solo broke ranks and began attacking the cities of Fondor, it was Inondrar who recognized that the Anakin Solo was slowly being cut off from the rest of the fleet. He suggested that Solo issue an order for a tactical withdrawal, and he was somewhat surprised when Solo agreed with the suggestion. (LF8)

Inoxide
This substance was used in identity probes. Based on the results of the identity probe, the inoxide in the tip of the probe can be set to a positive of negative polarity. When inserted into a special reader, the inoxide's state can be used to determine success or failure. (MA)

Inpoll
This was the name given to the fall season on the planet Draenell's Point. (GMK)

Inquiesse
This was the smallest continent of the planet Draenell's Point. (GMK)

Inquisitor
This was the term used to describe any lower-level member of the Imperial Inquisitorius. (ECH, EGF, CN3)

Inquisitor
This Imperial-class Star Destroyer made regular patrols in the Core Worlds, near the boundaries of Darpa and Bormea Sectors. The crew of the Inquisitor was sent to the planet Tatooine, shortly before the Battle of Yavin, as part of a stormtrooper training exercise. This exercise coincided with the arrival of the Devastator in the Tatoo System, when Darth Vader was trying to intercept Princess Leia Organa and the Tantive IV. The coincidental arrival of these units allowed the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO to escape the Imperials and reach Obi-Wan Kenobi on Tatooine. (FOP, FC, OWS)

Inquisitor
This was the title given to those officers of the Galactic Alliance's Reconstruction Authority who were charged with investigating and bringing to trial those individuals who were in league with the Yuuzhan Vong and the Peace Brigade. (DN1)

Inquisitor-4
One of the World Devastators that attacked Calamari, Inquisitor-4 was a 1,700-meter-long, "young adult" World Devastator that was smaller and less well-armed than ships like the Silencer-7. It had 8- heavy turbolaser batteries, 80 blaster cannons, 30 proton missile tubes, and 10 tractor beam emplacements. It was manned by a crew of 21,640, with 1,020 gunners, 1,800 slaves, 1,211 droids, and up to 6,700 troops and 1,000 pilots. (DE1, DESB)

Inquisitorium
see Inquisitorious (PH)

Inquisitorius
This was the name used to describe the entire group of Imperial High Inquisitors, who were trained and dispatched into the galaxy during the months that followed the end of the Clone Wars. Originally trained at the College of the Inquisition and at locations on Coruscant, members of the Inquisitorius eventually moved their base of operations to the planet Prakith during the height of the New Order. Members of the Inquisitorius were distinguished by their high-collared robes, which were created from a fabric of indescribable color, and had hoods that covered the wearer's entire head. The wearing of the robes was meant to bestow an air of menace about the Inquisitor, giving them an ominous appearance. The role of the Inquisitorius was to hunt down any Jedi who survived the execution of Order 66. It was said that the Inquisitors were given training by Darth Vader himself, and that they were stronger than the Jedi Knights because they chose not to be bound by any moral or social restrictions on their use of the Force. Any captured Jedi were then offered the chance to join the Empire, and those who refused were destroyed. Any other beings who were discovered to be sensitive to the Force were also captured and twisted to the Dark Side. The Inquisitors were given incredible resources to accomplish their missions. In the wake of the Battle of Endor and the apparent death of Emperor Palpatine, many Inquisitors abandoned their Imperial service and joined the Great InQuestors of Justice. Left without any more resources, the others slowly disappeared. (ECH, PH, WOTC, LJ9, EGF, CN3)

Inrokini
This was one of the four ruling families of the Chiss civiliation, during the era of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Like the other families, the Inrokini bloodlines predate modern Chiss society. The Inrokini syndic was charged with overseeing the industry, science, and communications of the Chiss. (GMR5, FH2)

Inrull
This was one of the more common surnames used by the Duros people. Like all such names, Inrull was used only for official business, to indicate one individual from another when in the presense of non-Duros. This name literally meant "heart". (GCG)

ins1dr
This was the hacker alias used by a being from the planet Cularin, during the final years of the Old Republic. According to HoloNet records, ins1dr was the first to post information on the appearance of Sot-sirc in the Cularin System. (LFCW)

INS-444
This bullet-shaped, repulsor-equipped droid was developed by Publictechnic for use in urban environments, such as on the planet Coruscant, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The INS-444 was designed for use in replacing panes of glass in the immense skyscrapers that dominated its landscape. These droids were often deployed in pairs, with each droid carrying one part of a pane of glass or clari-crystalline while both droids remained vigilant for the approach of an airspeeder or other vehicle that might crash through the pane their were carrying. Once at the location of a broken window pane, the INS-444 droids would move the pane into position with their primary magnatomic gripper arms, then used their smaller testing probes to ensure that the pane had been properly fitted and sealed in its enclosure. Quite often, a Publictechnic CLE-004 unit followed behind the two INS-444 units, waiting to clean the newly-installed pane. Note that Star Wars Galaxies indicates that the INS-444 was a holo-pet droid. (OWS, NEGD, SWGAL)

Insane Jedi Rampage
This was the sensationalist term coined by Javis Tyrr to describe the sudden actions of many young Jedi Knights, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Beginning with Seff Hellin, Jedi started to experience strange Force-related psychoses, claiming that the Jedi who surrounded them were imposters and exhibiting unusual powers that had only been attributed to Jacen Solo. Hellin eluded capture for many months, but Valin and Jysella Horn were captured by the Galactic Alliance Security force and imprisoned in carbonite until their affliction could be remedied. The term "Insane Jedi Rampage" was first used after Natua Wan went berserk during the Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition, opening the pens that held the wild and dangerous creatures on display in an attempt to eliminate the "imposters" who had taken over the bodied of Leia Organa Solo and her gradndaughter, Allana. (FJ2)

Inscription Key
This was a form of communications encryption that was used by the forces of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. The inscription key was often based on a single word of phrase, but relied on voice-pattern recognition in order to decipher the transmission. (LFCW)

Insect-bird
This was a species of scarlet, flying creature that was native to the jungles of Yavin 4. (COTF)

Insecticulture
This was the term used to describe the Kubaz science of genetically altering insects for increased stamina and food supply, as well as marking them for identification among the various Kubaz clans. (SCRE, NEGA)

Insel los verryos
This Snivvian phrase translated into Basic as "The winds were picking up." (HNN5)

Insensate
This concerto was written by Tikkal Remb Mah, and was considered one of the most important pieces of classical music produced during the height of the Old Republic. (MBS)

Insevade, Trevor
This Alderaanian youth represented his homeworld in the Legislative Youth Program's mock vote on the Military Creation Act, shortly before the Galactic Senate voted on the real thing. Unfortunately, Insevade's vote was never tallied, because he came down with a case of nerf-pox just before the final votes. (HNN5)

Inside Agent
This was the codename used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems to describe the mission to place a traitor in the midst of the Grand Army of the Republic's forces on Christophsis, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The traitor turned out to be the clone trooper known as Slick. (CWTV16)

Insiders
This was the term used by the military forces serving under Wedge Antilles at the Borleias base, just after the Battle of Coruscant, to describe the Inner Circle. Most people believed that the Insiders and the Inner Circle were purely military advisors, and Wedge worked hard to keep the true nature of the Inner Circle a secret. The secret was maintained for many months, even after the New Republic regrouped on Mon Calamari and Cal Omas was elected the new Chief of State. (EL1, DW)

Insignia of Unity
This immense, circular emblem once hung in the Senate Rotunda on Coruscant, during the final centuries of the Old Republic. The emblem itself measured about three meters in diameter, and displayed the symbol of the Galactic Republic, an eight-rayed starburst surrounded by a circle of dashes. It was hung on the podium that emerged from the center of the Rotunda, bringing the Supreme Chancellor and his aides into the chamber during Senate assemblies. The Insignia of Unity was created from all manner of rare and expensive metals and alloys, including aurodium, orichalum, and Coruscanthium. It was believed that the original Insignia of Unity was stolen from the Senate Rotunda by the Republic Group, just prior to the onset of the Clone Wars, and replaced with a fake. The real Insignia of Unity was then spirited away to a ruined temple on the planet Tandun Three, where it was kept safe until it could be used to help restore the Republic's honor to the galaxy. The counterfeit emblem was discovered in the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, when General Grievous caused huge amounts of damage during his seige of the planet. Instead of setting off a wave of investigations, this event was relegated to a minor report, until treasure-hunters and collectors of Republicana heard of the story and began their own searches for the emblem. Han Solo and his family discovered the temple on Tandun Three some forty-three years after the Battle of Yavin, with the help of Tobb Jadak and his memories of working for the Republic Group. Lestra Oxic was also searching for the Insignia of Unity, but discovered that the emblem in the temple was actually the fake. (MF)

Inspector 11
This analysis droid was placed in charge of the Arakyd Viper production line on Mechis III by IG-88. (TBH)

Inspra, Jabidus
This Jedi Master accompanied Ashka Boda on a trip to the Gree Enclave, just before the onset of the Clone Wars, in an effort to gather information about the possible sighting of Count Dooku in the mysterious sector. (HNN5)

Insta-7
The Gotal bounty hunter Glott was wanted on this planet. (ROC)

Installer Droid
This was the term used to describe any of the simple automatons used on the planet Coruscant, during the last years of the Old Republic, to perform routine maintenance to the windows of the tall skyscrapers that dominated the planet's cityscape. The used of installer droids, such as INS-444, meant that humans did not have to scale the incredibly tall buildings to replace broken panes of glass. These droids lacked any sophistication, requiring constant communication with a central processing system to receive instructions. (VD2, E2)

Insta-Meal
Produced by SoroSuub, the Insta-Meal was a processed food which was used in survival packs. It usually comes in block form, from which pieces can be broken off and consumed. It contains large amount of essential nutrients in a small, easily transported form. (GUN)

InstaMist Generator
Produced by Agrierd Intergalactics, this handheld device was originally designed to expel a directed cloud of fire retardant at the source of a fire. It could also be used to water plants with a gentle mist, or to produce a smoke screen to cover an escape. (GFT)

Instant Adhesive
This bonding agent claimed to be able to secure two materials together with amazing adhesive properties. (POC)

Instigator
This Trianii RX4 patrol ship was part of the New Republic fleet assigned to Corva Sector, shortly after the Battle of Bilbringi. Despite heavy usage, the Instigator was nonetheless a reliable ship. Many of the modifications performed on the ship were handled personally by Captain Bluuis. The ship measures 33 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of twin turbolasers and an ion cannon. It was flown under the name Surge during the Republic's search for the Kaarenth Dissension. (SWJ8)

Institute for Sentient Studies
Located on the planet Baraboo, this educational facility studies the various sentient civilizations that have arisen in the galaxy. (BTS)

Institute of Imperial Psychological Studies
This college specialized in the study of sentient behavioral patterns and profiles. (GG10)

Institute of Starship Engineering
Next to the Imperial Engineering Academy, this was one of the most highly-respected engineering guilds in the galaxy. In fact, the Imperial Navy required bi-annual ISE certification among its engineers. Most graduates can commands a 100% uptake in their wage opportunities. The ISE had a huge campus on Coruscant, with smaller campuses on Perithal VI, Sullust, and in the Corellian System. A campus used to be based on Alderaan. (GG9)

Institutional Neurosis
This was the term used to describe the idea that many beings felt safer when they were cut off from the rest of the world. Kal Skirata applied this idea to the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, stating that most clones were content to simply fight and die, rather than think about what life would be like outside the GAR during times of peace. (RCTC)

Instrop Sector
Danaan Kerr was rumored to have performed dark magics in this sector, shortly after the Battle of Endor. (WBC)

Insulation Lube
Distinguished by its astringent smell, this lubricant was used in the manufacture of turbolasers. Insulation lube was used to allow the main weapons systems to shift slightly within the insulating coils and sleeves that protected the weapon during firing. Because the components were lubricated and could shift with the recoiling action of firing the weapon, the weapon couldn't shake itself apart, extending its usable life and the length time between scheduled maintenance. (DSTR)

Insulfiber
This fibrous, insulating material was used by many hives of the Colony as the basis for exoskeletons that could withstand brief exposures to vaccum. Used especially by the pilots of the Great Swarm, insulfiber was laminated into the chitin of their carapaces, strengthening the shells and allowing them to keep a member of the Kind safe in space. (DN1)

Insulfoam
This heat-reflective material was used to insulate buildings and perishable cargoes. It could also be used to create sleeping mats and other cold-weather gear for explorers and adventurers, and it was also used in architecture and decorating as a wall covering that could be sculpted into many different forms. (LO, DIV, JB)

Insurrection
This branch of the Pentastar Alignment's Chamber of Order was established to ensure that the New Republic was unable to reclaim any former Imperial star systems. Moff Ardus Kaine feared that the fragmented Empire, in the wake of the Battle of Endor, had become too worried about confronting the Republic with direct force, and established the Insurrection branch to use deception and misinformation to ensure the Republic received false and incomplete information. (SWJ3)

Insurrection of Iliabath
This event took place an unknown number of years before the Corellia-GA War. (LF4)

INT-66
Although official known as a transport ship, the Corellian Engineering Corporation's INT-66 essentially a heavy interceptor craft. At fifty meters in length, it was larger than a starfighter but nearly as maneuverable. It required a single pilot to operate, and could accommodate up to three passengers and 35 metric tons of cargo. (SWJ4)

Intake
This was a slang term used by the clone commandos of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe a group of clone troopers that had never experienced battlefield conditions, but had been added to a unit to replace dead or injured clones. (RC66)

Intamm
This Rodian clan owned a small enclave on the Betu continent of Rodia, and owed its allegiance to the Chekkoo clan. (SPG)

Inta'si'rin'na
This was the term used to describe the ruler of the Rodian race, known as the Grand Protector of the Rodians. The original Grand Protector was from the Soammei clan. Although the Grand Protector was considered the leader of all Rodians, the real power remained within the rin'na of the clan from which he was promoted. (SPG)

IntCon
see Internal Counter-Intelligence Bureau (ISB)

Integrity
This Old Republic Carrack-class light cruiser was the flagship of the fleet dispatched to Belderone, some thirty-six months after the Battle of Geonosis, in an effort to capture the leaders of the Confederacy on Independent Systems. Commanded by Lorth Needa, the Integrity was later recalled to Coruscant and assigned to Home Fleet Strike Group Five during the First Battle of Coruscant. In the wake of the defense of Coruscant, the Integrity was one of the few ships that were on duty when the Stellar Envoy blasted out of the Senate Annex, on a mission to reach Toprawa. The Integrity nearly captured the YT-1300 freighter, but Reeze Duurmun and Tobb Jadak managed to jump to Nar Shaddaa and escape. (LEV, E3N, MF)

Intellex
This was one of the few datafiles from the old Industrial Intelligence computer banks which was decrypted following the corporation's merger with Automata Galactica. The merger created the mega-corporation Industrial Automaton, and the data contained in the Intellex file led to the development of the Intellex series of droid brains, which were used in the R-series astromech droids. (SWJ7)

Intellex II
This was the second-generation droid brain produced by Industrial Automata from the information developed by the former Industrial Intelligence corporation. It was designed for use in the P2-series astromech droid. (SWJ7)

Intellex III
This model of computer brain was used in R1 as well as R4 droids. Like the entire Intellex series of brains, the Intellex III was based on technologies developed by Industrial Intelligence, prior to its merger with Automata Galactica. The Intellex III was a powerful central unit, but lacked the versatility of its successor, the Intellex IV. (GG7, SWJ7)

Intellex IV
The model of internal computer system used in R2-series astromech droids, the Intellex IV can perform 10,000 or more operations a second. Like the entire Intellex series of brains, the Intellex IV was based on technologies developed by Industrial Intelligence, prior to its merger with Automata Galactica. Imperial propaganda later claimed that the developed of the Intellex IV was an Imperial scientist, but this misinformation was later exposed when the R2-0 prototype was discovered by Lady Aryn Dro Thul, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (SWSB, DN3)

Intellex V
This was an upgraded version of the Intellex IV internal computer system, used on R2-series and V1-series astromech droids. Like the entire Intellex series of brains, the Intellex V was based on technologies developed by Industrial Intelligence, prior to its merger with Automata Galactica. (SWJ10)

Intellex VI
This was an upgraded version of the Intellex V internal computer system, used on R2-series and V1-series astromech droids. Like the entire Intellex series of brains, the Intellex VI was based on technologies developed by Industrial Intelligence, prior to its merger with Automata Galactica. (SWJ10)

Intelligence Freighter
A specialized cruiser used by Imperial Intelligence, it was not overly marked or obvious. (DFR)

Intelligence Service
see Galactic Alliance Intelligence (LF2)

Intelligentsia
This was the name of the ruling caste of the Yinchorri species. (AOW)

IntelStar Company
This manufacturer of prime hyperdrive components supplied parts to eleven different hyperdrive builders. They were one of the original non-voting Contributing Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. (CSA)

Intendants
This was one of the many castes of the Yuuzhan Vong society, made up from those Yuuzhan Vong who were no longer warriors, but were considered to be among their best leaders. Most members of the Intendant caste have skills from other castes, augmenting their already formidable abilities. They were the curators of Yuuzhan Vong commerce and trade, and were responsible for overseeing the Yuuzhan Vong slaving operations as well as ensuring that the general population remained passive. Among the Intendants, there were four distinct divisions: High Prefect, Prefect, Consul, and Executor. (SWDB, NJOSB, UF, UFCD)

Interceptor
This Imperial Guardian-class customs ship was captained by Hallyn Phlynne, and patrolled the Elin Roe System during the height of the New Order.. (SWJ2)

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

Interceptor IV
This was the latest in the Interceptor-class line of frigates, produced during the height of the New Order. The Interceptor IV was equipped with faster engines, stronger shields, and more firepower than any other vessel in its class. (LAWS)

Interceptor Roll-out
This was an evasive maneuver used by pilots of interceptor-style starfighters, in which the pilot executed a steep dive and roll to avoid being targetted by a pursuing craft. Many pilots traced the origins of the interceptor roll-out to Tycho Celchu, who used the technique to his advantage during the Battle of Endor and the early years of the New Republic. (LF1)

Interceptor-class Frigate
This was a class of assault vessels that was produced during the era of the New Order. The Interceptor-class frigates were fast and maneuverable, and were well-protected, allowing them to be deployed along the front lines of a combat fleet. Measuring 150 meters in length, the Interceptor-class frigate was distinguished by its long fuselage, a bulky rear drive section, and its chisel-shaped bow. In the wake of the Galactic Civil War, many of these ships found their way into the hands of pirates ans smugglers.

The average Interceptor was lightly armed for its size, but it still carried a complement of turbolasers and proton torpedo launchers. The hull was protected by heavy armor plating and powerful shields, which helped to make up for its lack of weaponry. (LAWS, LF7)

Interceptor-class Light Freighter
This small class of triangular freighters was first manufactured by Arakyd, with the Helix Interceptor. (SWJ5)

Interchip
This small device processes the transfer of credits from one party to another. When a being purchases something from a merchant, the merchant enters the cost into the interchip. The being then inserts their own credit voucher, and the interchip debits their account the correct number of credits before depositing them into the merchant's account. Payment between two individuals can also be accomplished the same way. (GG2)

Interdiction Field
The name used to describe any gravimetric force field that simulates the presence of mass in open space or hyperspace. The field can be a small, powerful, planet-sized field, similar to those generated by the Interdictor-class starships; or, it can be a huge, system-wide field similar to that used by Thrackan Sal-Solo to seal off the Corellian Sector just following his secession from the New Republic. (AC)

Interdictor-class Cruiser
Developed during the height of the New Order, Interdictor-class ships were similar in shape to the Star Destroyers of the Imperial Navy. However, these ships were equipped with four gravity-wave generators that could create gravity shadows that simulates large, planet-sized masses into hyperspace. The ability to create these gravity shadows was useful for a number for things, such as trapping fleeing spacecraft and bringing ships out of hyperspace at a specific point was real space. (DFR, ISB)

Interdictor-class Warship
This Old Republic warship was developed in the wake of the Great Stih War. The idea of the Interdictor-class was first proposed by Admiral Jimas Veltraa, and the ship was first constructed at the Corellian shipyards. When Veltraa was killed during the Mandalorian Wars, there was a grass-roots effort within the military to rename the ship in his honor. The Republic's Chancellor decided to keep the original name, however. (KOR4)

Interechoic Micrometer
A sensititive device which uses sound waves to measure the thickness of metals, especially starship hulls. (COJ)

Interesting
This was a slang term used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe anything that was considered very dangerous. (GG9)

Interface
This was a derogatory term that was sometimes used to describe a droid, during the era of the New Order. It was used to indicate that a being considered a droid as nothing more than an ambulatory computer interface, despite a droid's artificial intelligence and usefulness. (SWDT)

Interface Band
This was an ancient form of the cyborg construct, which wrapped around a being's skull and provided a mental interface to a computer system. (KOTOR)

Interface Visor
This ancient device was created during the decades leading up to the Great Sith War, and allowed a user to have a mental and visual interface to the electronic systems common to security, demolitions, and general computing functions. (KOTOR)

Interfacing System Bridge
Known as a patch, this computer device allows the user to bypass the entry protocols in order to quickly access the central computer. Most often used by tech teams and Imperial technicians, these devices were incredibly helpful when a component was damaged or a subsystem was breached, and the problem might result in a system-wide failure. The techs don't have time to enter in all their security information, and can use the patch to simply correct the problem. The Alliance discovered that these patches could also be used to mask an intrusion into an Imperial computer system, allowing the saboteurs to place a virus or tag without being detected. (SWJ10)

Interference Box
This was a form of communications jamming technology that was used during the era of the Old Republic, about a millennium before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. The idea behind an i-box was to emit short-range jamming signals near an enemy locatoin, preventing the enemy from calling for reinforcements or warning the main camp. The primary drawback to the interference box was that it also jammed friendly transmissions, leading the attacking unit cut off from its own main unit. (DBPD)

InterFlux
Manufacturers of one of the most popular water-making systems for starships. (SS)

InterGalactic Banking Clan
Based on the planet Muunilinst, this was one of the galaxy's oldest, largest, and most profitable, financial institutions of the Old Republic. Founded millennia before the Battle of Geonosis, the InterGalactic Banking Clan - known as the IBC, or the IGBC - had served the Old Republic throughout most of its history. The first known transcation made by the IBC was the funding of the human colony on Sartinaynian. It made considerable profits through the development and manufacture of currency exchange technologies and infrastructures, especially when many planets throughout the galaxy began to think about seceding from the Republic. The desire of these worlds to have their own currency meant that IBC could step in and help them manage their new currency as well as maintain an up-to-the-minute valuation of the new currency against the Republic Credit. The financial backing for these new currencies came from the rich natural resources of Muunlinst itself, as the smoker volcanoes that dotted its surface continually disgorged valuable ores and minerals for mining.

During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, the leaders of the Intergalactic Banking Clan were careful not to join either side of the conflict, although San Hill was reported to have been at the Separatist meeting on Geonosis that took place prior to the events of the Battle of Geonsis. Early in the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic learned that the IBC owned several shipyards in the Gwori System that were producing warships for the Separatists. At one point, the Separatists claimed to have four times as many ships as the Galactic Republic, a claim that was later validated by the Republic. Sensing that Chancellor Palpatine would not want to directly attack the IBC, which remained openly neutral, Obi-Wan Kenobi suggested an attack on the factories that supplied the IBC with starship parts. The Republic could later claim the attack was unfortunate, and compensate the IBC for its losses. As the Clone Wars engulfed the galaxy, the IBC continued to make a profit by providing financial services to both the Republic and the Separatists. The IBC also financed the resurrection of Durge and General Grievous, actions which San Hill believed made Darth Sidious indebted to the clan. In the upheaval of the Clone Wars and the transition to the New Order, the IBC continued to do business with the galaxy, although much of its operation was nominally controlled by the Empire. While this rankled the government's leaders, it also ensured that the IBC remained the galaxy's pre-eminent financial institution. With the death of Emperor Palpatine at the Battle of Endor, the IBC became the guarantors of the fledgling New Republic, despite protests from the surviving Imperial leaders. The leaders of the IBC correctly reasoned that Imperial grousing amounted to nothing, since any actions by the Imperial Remnant would only devalue the Imperial credit. Note that Star Wars: Rebel Force - Target indicates that the InterGalactic Banking Clan was dissolved well before the Battle of Yavin. (COD, E2N, HNN4, SWDB, VD3, GORW, DBRT, RF1, CWSOD)

Intergalactic Communications Center
This was the primary communications nexus maintained by the Old Republic, during the decades leading up the Clone Wars. It served as the primary hub for communications going into and out of the Core Worlds, despite the fact that this was a potential liability. This liability was exposed during the Clone Wars, when Separatist forces led by Pors Tonith first blockaded Praesitlyn before landing their troops and overrunning the small Republic defense forces. The communications center was quickly captured, despite the best efforts of Zozridor Slayke and his soldiers. The facility was eventually liberated from the Separatists by a Republic task force led by Nejaa Halcyon and Anakin Skywalker, although only a dangerous mission by Skywalker managed to preserve both the facility and its support staff. (JT)

Intergalactic Drive
This was a hypothetical starship propulsion system that was capable of transporting a ship across the gulf between adjacent galaxies. (RDV)

Intergalactic Droid Agency
This company matched unowned or manumitted droids to the needs of businesses and individuals throughout the galaxy, during the height of the New Order. Virtually any type of droid could be matched with a prospective user or task, depending on what types of droids the agency had on hand at any given time. (MDCAR, DCAR, OWS, TGD)

Intergalactic Federation of Musicians
This guild was dedicated to promoting the advancement of music throughout the galaxy, during the height of the New Order.. (TME)

Intergalactic Law Agency
This agency was conceived during the last century of the Old Republic, when the need for a galaxy-wide law enforcement agency became prevalent. The ILA was eventually disbanded in favor of groups like the Sector Rangers. (MDCAR)

InterGalactic Ores
This was one of two major mining corporations which established lommite mining operations on the planet Dorvalla, in Videnda Sector, during the last century of the Old Republic. IGO tried to bully its main competitor, Lommite Limited, out of the business via a series of industrial sabotage actions. In the midst of their struggle, Darth Sidious decided to use their feud as a way to run both companies out of business. Sidious' apprentice, Darth Maul, manipulated events so that LL and IGO destroyed their corporate ranks, leaving the lommite mines on Dorvalla open to the Trade Federation. In the wake of these events, IGO was forced to merge with Lommite Limited inorder to form Dorvalla Mining, which controlled the actual operations on Dorvalla but lost all control of the shipping rights in the system to the Trade Federation. (DMS)

Intergalactic Society for the Protection against Cruelty to Animals

Intergalactic Trade Mission
A gathering of important businessbeings held regularly on Bothawui. Koth Melan requested that Leia Organa meet him at the Mission to discuss the recovery of the secret plans to the second Death Star. (SE)

Intergalactic Zoological Society
This research association was formed on the planet Mycroft during the height of the Old Republic, and endured decades of political turmoil to emerge as the New Republic's primary zoological research center. The members of the society were strongly opposed to siding with any government or political party, believing that the knowledge of life should not have political boundaries. Thus, they strove to remain a neutral organization during the Clone Wars. During the era of the New Order, it was renamed as the Imperial Zoological Society. More open-minded than the Imperial Zoological Agency, the Intergalactic Zoological Society was known for its wondrous publications, which brought the galaxy's zoological diversity to the common being. (WSW, RDR)

InterGalacticBank of Kuat
This was the most prominent of the financial institutions based on the planet Kuat during the last decades of the Old Republic. Much of the collateral controlled by the bank was stored on Aargau during this time. Jango Fett stored his entire fortune within the vaults of the InterGalacticBank of Kuat, in trust until they could be turned over to his son, Boba. (BF3)

Intergyron

These vessels saw extensive action during the Battle of Ruusan, ferrying reinforcements from the Sith fleet that blockaded the planet from orbit. Each Interloper could accommodate up to ten troopers and their cargo. In order to gain speed, the Interlopers were protected by less armor plating. (DBPD)

Intermatic, R.C.
This was the name of a false business used as a front by the New Republic's Alpha Blue team. Intermatic, R.C. had a pair of private hangars in Section 41 of Newport, where the Alpha Blue Technical Services team received shipments. (TT)

This was another of the somewhat derogsatory nicknames used by Marn Hierogryph to describe Zayne Carrick, during the height of the Mandalorian Wars. (KOR4)

Internal Counter-Intelligence Bureau
Known as IntCon, this branch of the Imperial Intelligence agency was charged with investigating the existence of spies and spy rings within the Intelligence community. By accessing Imperial data throughout the galaxy, IntCon agents were able to filter out the clues needed to pinpoint spies and their activities. The IntCon branch was, in effect, a miniature version of the Imperial Intelligence agency, and was not above suspicion from itself. Every internal communication was monitored with the same rigor as those of the rest of the Intelligence community, thereby preventing a spy from infiltrating the IntCon bureau. (ISB)

Internal Organization Bureau
This branch of the Imperial Intelligence agency was charged with protecting the overall Imperial Intelligence organization from any internal or external threats. Known as IntOrg for short, this bureau was considered one of the most unbiased, loyal, ruthless, and civil of all Imperial organizations, a combination of attributes that made IntOrg a model of efficiency and respect. IntOrg agents were trained to appear cultivated and well-mannered, and had a deep knowledge of political systems and schemes. This outwardly civil demeanor was tempered by a ruthlessness that allowed IntOrg agents to take whatever actions were necessary to protect the Empire and the Intelligence agency, regardless of who was causing the trouble, (SWSB, ISB)

Internal Security
This group of security agents protected the monarchy of the planet Daimar, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (FR)

Internal Security Bureau
This was the early name of the Imperial Security Bureau, during the early months of the New Order. This group later became the primary security force of the Imperial Intelligence agency, and was charged with maintaining the physical security of Intelligence agents, assets, and facilities throughout the Empire. Known as IntSec, this branch earned the reputation of a group of unambitious drones because of the apparent might of the Empire. It was said that the IntSec organization had no real mission, since the Empire was too powerful to be the target of outside attacks. However, as the Galactic Civil War began to engulf the galaxy, IntSec took measures to improve its responsiveness and its efficiency, and began to improve its image both within the Empire and to the rest of the galaxy. (ISB, RDV)

Internal Security Police
This was the police branch of the New Regime on Brigia, during the early years of the New Order. The primary mission of the Internal Security Police was the enforcement of the New Regime's laws, regardless of their morality. (HSL)

Interrogator
The Interrogator was an Imperial-II class Star Destroyer, under the command of the High Inquisitor Tremayne during the height of the Galactic Civil War and the months following the Battle of Endor. The ship had seen a number of different Captains in its time, including Admirals Ozzel and Ranes, because Tremayne rarely remained pleased with any one individual's performance. Although most Imperial officers aspired to command, they shied away from any posting aboard the Interrogator. (GG9, TFNR, SWJ4, OWS)

Interrogator Droid Mark III

Interstellar Collections Limited
This galactic collections agency, which produced and maintained the Red List, was quite active throughout the era of the New Order. Over time, ICL grew into a major company which could repossess belongings, settle disputes, and collect on old debts, all with little or no advance warning. They were the largest of the collection agenecies that grew out of a lack of concern on the part of the Empire and the Corporate Sector Authority for the debts of individuals. (HSR)

Interstellar Conference of Dull and Boring Science Twits
This was Celot Ratua Dil's derogatory name for a rumored joint venture between the EngSat Complex and Dybersyne Engineering Systems, which were developing huge focusing magnets, possibly for installation in the superlaser found on the first Death Star. Dil initially failed to see the connection between the development of focusing magnets and the Death Star, until the smuggler Balahteez explained it to him. (DSTR)

Interstellar Consoritum on Technology
This was the name given to the panel of experts who guided the Galactic Senate of the Old Republic on matters of technology and innovation.

Interstellar Stock Exchange
This was the largest of the galactic stock exchanges that survived the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War, before thriving during the years following the galaxy's war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Most of the galaxy's largest corporations were listed on the ISE, which provided access for brokage firms as well as individual investors. Trading on the ISE was only shut down for tumultous events, such as the declaration of martial law by Admiral Cha Niathal, in the wake of the arrest of Chief of State Cal Omas. When the market re-opened shortly afterward, stocks of military suppliers like Kuat Drive Yards, MandalMotors, and Roche Industries saw marked sales and rapid increases in shar values, as the financial experts foresaw a galactic crisis. (LF2, LF5, RC66)

Interstellar Trade and Commerce Authority
This branch of the New Republic government was established to monitor the transportation and sale of a wide range of goods and services, in an effort to ensure that trade agreements and restrictions were adhered to by businessbeings across the galaxy. (SWJ4, OWS)

Interstellar Trading League
This loose affiliation of independent spacers was formed during the final decades of the Old Republic, and remained active during the early years of the New Order. (CN1)

Interstitial Shield
This was a form of stationary cloaking shield used to mask the presence of a starship after it had landed on the ground. It used a speciallized light filter to draw information from the surrounding environment, and then projected that information onto the shield itself. Thus, in between the gaps of the shield itself, images were projected that made the starship within the shield seem to disappear. Despite being referred to as a cloaking device, the interstitial shield was only good for stationary objects. (BF5)

Intersystem Library Exchange
A construct of the New Republic, the ILE was set up so that any planetary system could obtain data from another system's databanks. (BTS)

Intertalkie
This was another name for a starship's intercom system. (LCF, LCS)

InterTribal Council
This was the name given to the body of leaders of the United Tribes of Kariek, charged with the day-to-day government of the Eickarie and Lakra peoples. The InterTribal Council was formed in the wake of the capture of the Warlord, in an effort to remove the militaristic control that had been given to the United Tribes Command. The goal was to eliminate the historical need for vengeance among the tribes, thereby putting an end to the centuries-old civil war between the Eickarie and Lakra. (FB)

Intervention
This Venator-class Star Destroyer was one of many that were deployed by the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Senator Bail Organa commanded the ship during a survey of the Outer Rim Territories, when he allowed it to be diverted to locate Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, who had been set up by Count Dooku to die at the hands of Durge. Obi-Wan had been searching for Asajj Ventress, despite all the intelligence that pointed to her death on Coruscant. The ship was then further diverted to Boz Pity, after Durge's droid revealed the planet's location. However, Boz Pity was blockaded by more than 100 Separatist warships, leaving the Republic's forces without an easy way to reach the surface. In a daring move, Anakin was allowed to pilot the ship through hyperspace, jumping the ship from well outside the system to a point within the blockade. Using the Force, Anakin got the Intervention behind the Separatist ships, but the gravity of Boz Pity was too much to overcome with reverse thrust. After launching all starfighters and evacuating all personnel to escape pods, Anakin managed to bring the ship to a desparate crash-landing on the surface of Boz Pity. (O)

InterWorld Marketplace
The sprawling, tariff-free bazaar found on the Kuari Princess. (RPG)

Intestinal Revenge of Bars Barka
This global disease swept the planet of Bars Barka several decades before the onset of the Clone Wars. It was believed that the disease was carried to the planet by a Neimoidian trade delegation, although the Neimoidians vehemently deny any role in setting off the chain of events. Microbes that are normally found in the Neimoidian body caused devastating illnesses in the bowels of the Ubese colonists on the planet, resulting in crippling weight loss. The Neimoidians, of course, denied any part in the onset of the illness. (GPB)

Inthulpin
This was the name of the spring season on the planet Draenell's Point. (GMK)

Intimidation Mode One

Intimidator
This Imperial warship was dispatched to support Secesh Trant, during her attempt to recover a stolen Imperial datachip from Hakon de Ville on Ananuru, some time after the Battle of Yavin. (CH72)

Intimidator
This was the brand name of the Merr-Sonn Munitions' IR-5 blaster pistol. The fully-automatic Intimidator lacked a strong punch, but could fire off an incredible amount of blasts in a short period of time. It was a bulky weapon which was quite expensive for its features, so it found acceptance only in certain wealthy circles. (ROE, AEG)

Intimidator
This was the brand name of Greff-Timms Industrial's PC2 pulse-wave light cannon. (TOJC)

Intimidator
This speeder was actually a modified Maeltorp Cargorunner transport craft, adapted for use as a racing vehicle by the sponsors of the BlastBoat 2000. It was armed with a tritium mining drill, and could attain speeds of 200 kilometers an hour. Its maximum flight ceiling was just one meter. (SWJ4)

Intimidator
This Super-class Star Destroyer was sent to Black-15 from its normal dock in the Core, just following the Battle of Endor, to make room for another Super-class ship that needed repairs. The Intimidator was at Black-15, receiving its final construction, when the Yevetha took control of the shipyards. Because the Intimidator was spaceworthy, Jian Paret used it as his command ship. However, during the Yevethan attack some eight months after the Battle of Endor, the Intimidator was captured by Nil Spaar. It was renamed by the Yevetha as the Pride of Yevetha. During the final battle of the Black Fleet Crisis, Sil Sorannan took control of the starship from Nil Spaar, stranding the Yevetha in hyperspace while taking the ship out of the Koornacht Cluster. (BTS, SOL, TT)

Intractable
This was one of the Imperial cruisers that blockaded the ThonBoka in order to starve the Oswaft, during the early years of the New Order. The commanding officer of the Intractable balked at being a front-line defensive ship when Rokur Gepta ordered it. Gepta immediately stripped the officer, his second-in-command, and their counterparts on the Upright and the Vainglorious of their ranks. Gepta then ordered them all forced out of the airlocks on their vessels, as examples of what would happen to any other officers who dared to disobey his orders. (LCS)

Intran
This remote planet, located in Brak Sector, was the site of an Alliance base which was estasblished shortly before the Battle of Yavin. (FBS)

Intravenous Access Unit
Known as an IAU, this medical device was used to administer drugs to patients at the subcutaneous level. When placed on a patient's chest and activated, it extended a catheter which could burrow into the flesh and locate a subclavian vein in which to deposit the drugs in the main unit. (TFE)

Intrepid
This New Republic Nebulon-B frigate was part of the supply convoy travelling to Liinade III, when it was brought out of hyperspace by the Interdictor cruiser Binder near system M2934738. The attacking ships, under the direction of Prince-Admiral Krennel, pounded the lead ship - the Pride of Selonia - the instant it dropped into realspace, preventing any sort of counterattack. The Pride of Selonia was destroyed in the attack. The Intrepid managed to pour a large amount of laser fire into the Binder before the Reckoning fired on her. The might of the Reckoning's assault broke the Intrepid into two pieces, which spiralled away from each other as the ship died in space. (IR)

Intrepid
This Imperial Class 1000 cruiser was under the command of Captain Dulrain, and patrolled the Gesaril System during the Galactic Civil War. (GG6)

Intrepid
This New Republic Endurance-class fleet carrier was built at the Hakassi shipyards, and assigned to the Fifth Battle Group, just prior to the Yevethan Great Purge and the Black Fleet Crisis. The Intrepid served as the flagship of the Fifth Fleet during the crisis, under the command of Etahn A'baht. Thus, the vessel was in a position to lead the initial, though unsuccessful, blockade of Doornik-319. (BTS, SOL)

Intrepid
This luxury cruiser was owned by the Jedi Council, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SHW)

Intrepid

Intrepid
This Imperial-I class Star Destroyer was assigned to guard the Imperial detention center at Stars' End, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. The Intrepid was destroyed when Keyan Farlander and a group of Alliance starfighters assaulted the prison in an attempt to rescue a number of prisoners of war. (XW, XWP)

Introducer
This was the term used on the planet Lan Barell to describe those freelance agents who worked to match shippers with merchants and suppliers on the trade floor of the Quilan Hive. Most Introducers could be found in the human sections of the Quilan Hive, and and most of them were humans who had had experience working with the native Qieg. While the Introducers worked to ensure a fair and legitimate deal for their customers, most of them also made sure to provide maximum profit for the Barellians. Introducers could also help offworlders understand the bureaucratic and cultural rules and regulations of the Quilan Hive, including obtaining the required permits and visas, often in much less time than it would normally take. (SWJ1, OWS)

Intruder
This Imperial Marauder-class corvette was dispatched to disrupt the Bothan's attempt to join of the Alliance, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)

Intruder
A series of assassin droids often portrayed in holofeatures. (SWSB)

Intruder
A low-grade computer spike manufactured by MicroThrust. (CFG)

Intruder
A series of missiles produced by Sienar Fleet Systems for use in TIE Bombers and TIE Defenders. The design of the Intruder series was stolen by ISB agents from the Slayn & Korpil colonies that produced the B-Wing starfighter. Slayn & Korpil designed the warhead to explode into a huge blossom of ion energy. The blast was capable of destroying capital ships by overloading the shield generators with ion energy. (CCG9)

Intruder
This Bakuran Namana-class light cruiser was used by Admiral Hortel Ossilege as his flagship. It was one of four ships, along with the Watchkeeper, Sentinel, and Defender, that were built specifically for the defense of the Bakura System, in the wake of the Battle of Bakura. When the New Republic asked for assistance in their struggle against the Sacorrian Triad, the Bakuran leaders dispatched the four ships to Corellia. During the decisive battle with the fleet of the Sacorrian Triad, the Intruder was rammed by three modified, frigate-sized ramships after being prodded into battle with them. The Intruder sustained heavy damage and casualties, including Ossilege and Gaeriel Captison, who survived long enough to trigger the Intruder's self-destruct mechanism. This caused a chain reaction of explosions in the nearby Triad ships, destroying many and giving the New Republic's forces a chance to defeat them. (AS, SC, CTD, EGD)

Intruder Trap
This was a form of personal shield that was used by the Chiss as a security device, but only in situations where the loss of innocent life could be minimized. By reversing the polarity of a small shield generator, it could be tuned so that the deflection field faced inward, instead of outward. In this way, any individual caught within the intruder trap with the intention for shooting their captors would only cause harm to themselves, as their blaster bolts would be deflected back at them. (OF)

IntSec

Intuci
This planet was raided by Sonopo Bomoor. His forced sacked the primary city of Bonaka Nueno, leaving many dead and more homeless. (JTH)

Intuitive Association
This was the term used by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn to describe the ability to link two separate and unrelated thoughts or ideas together, in order to arrive at an answer to a given situation or question. This technique was often subconsciously performed, when a being's mind simply made a mental connection between the unrelated trains of thought and formed the answer in the Jedi's mind. This was not a Force technique, per se, but one that came naturally to certain beings. (CWN)

Intybus
This flowering plant was used in gardens for its beautiful, colorful blossoms. (TT)

Invid
This was New Republic pilots' slang for the pirates who worked for Leonia Tavira, and were supported by her Star Destroyer, the Invidious. (IJ)

Invidious
This Imperial Star Destroyer was part of High Admiral Teradoc's fleet, shortly after the death of Emperor Palpatine at Endor. Somehow, it came under the command of Loenia Tavira, and was the mainstay of the fleet guarding her holdings on Eiattu. When the Rogue Squadron pilots defeated her there, she took the Invidious and hid for several years, until the warship reappeared in a supporting role for Tavira's pirate fleet. She would bring the Invidious into a system and pummel the defenses of a starship or settlement, then depart, leaving the pirates to loot and pillage what they could. They paid Tavira half of everything they took. (IJ)

Invincible
This Separatist dreadnaught, under the command of Admiral Trench during the height of the Clone Wars, served as the flagship of the ring of warships that blockaded the planet Christophsis. A Republis task force, led by Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, arrived at Christophsis on a mission to deliver supplies and rescue Bail Organa. Admiral Trench discovered that the Republic's small fleet included a cloaked stealth ship, and used his knowledge of such vessels to locate it in space. Anakin dropped the cloaking device on the stealth ship long enough for Trench's gunners to get a lock on it, and Trench ordered the gunners to dropd the dreadnaught's shelds and fire their torpedoes. Skywalker allowed the incoming torpedoes to lock onto the stealth ship, then plowed toward the Invincible at top speed, dragging the torpedoes behind him. Before the Invincible's shields could be brought back online, the torpedoes that were chasing the stealth ship plowed into the Invincible's bridge, setting off a series of explosions that tore the ship apart and killed all organic beings onboard. (CWTV38)

Invincible
This Star Destroyer was one of four ships that formed the core of the fleet under the command of Moff Vanko. (RM)

Invincible
This Imperial-I class Star Destroyer was part of the fleet that was used as part of Operation Strike Fear, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. The Invincible was later destroyed when members of the burgeoning rebellion stole an improved warhead from the Imperial freighter Gafra. The rebel team was forced to use the warhead against the Invincible, eliminating the ship as a threat. The successful destruction of the Invincible gave the rebels enough confidence that they soon openly declared rebellion against the Empire. (XW, NECH, XWP)

Invincible
This was the flagship of the small, independent war fleet amased by Ranulph Tarkin, during the months leading up to the Stark Hyperspace War. The Invincible was but a small portion of the fleet to survive the navigational computer virus developed by Iaco Stark and unleashed on Tarkin's ships. With just a quarter of her original support fleet, the Invincible was an easy target for the warships of the Stark Commercial Combine. In short order, the Invincible was destroyed. Many officers and crew managed to evacuate before its destruction. (SHW)

Invincible
The Star Destroyer used by Zasm Katth and Baddon Fass to go to Nar Shaddaa and kill Vima-Da-Boda and Han Solo. The ship was destroyed when Katth ordered full tractor beam power to lock onto the Millenium Falcon. The Falcon hid behind the spaceport's control tower, and the powerful tractor beam ripped the tower from the station. It impaled the Star Destroyer, knocking out main thrusters and disabling the ship's maneuverability. It then crashed into the surface of Nar Shaddaa, killing all hands. (DE2)

Invincible-class Dreadnaught
This capital ship measured 2,011 meters in length, and was first built over 3,000 years before the Galactic Civil War by the Rendili/Vaufthau Shipyards, Limited, Corporation. They were designed to resemble the ancient Alsakan warships used in the Alsakan Conflicts, with design points taken from the huge starships of Xim the Despot. The Invincible-class was one of the Old Republic's largest ships, but space combat technology began moving toward smaller platforms. The huge ships were soon discontinued, decommissioned, and sold off. The Corporate Sector Authority was able to obtain a number of them on the open market, since they were cheap, available, and effective. The Invincible-class Dreadnaught was manpower-intensive, though, requiring 23,614 crewers and 114 gunners. It could transport up to 6,000 troops, and was armed with 30 quad-laser cannons, 12 turbolaser cannons, 6 tractor beam projectors, and 6 concussion missile tubes. (HSE, CSA, TF)

Invisec
This was the more common name used to describe the Invisible Sector, on the planet Coruscant. (WG)

Invisible and Ineluctable Casino
This was the name used by Drawmas Sma'Da to describe his gambling enterprise, which was based on the skirmishes and battles that were fought during the Galactic Civil War. Sma'Da had the uncanny ability to predict the outcome of battles between the Empire and the Alliance, and to set accurate odds on the outcomes. Many of the galaxy's richest beings would wager on the outcome of any size confrontation, and Sma'Da grew wealthy by taking their bets. However, his wealth and insight soon came to the attention of Emperor Palpatine, who put out a sizabele bounty on Sma'Da's head. With his capture, and with the decisive outcome of the Battle of Endor, Sma'Da's prominence quickly dwindled. (HM)

Invisible Empress

Invisible Hand
This needle-shaped Providence-class destroyer was General Griveous' flagship during the last stages of the Clone Wars. The Invisible Hand was originally manufactured by the Quarren engineers of the Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps at the Pammant Docks. Its tapered bow and large outrigger fins gave it the appearance of a classical piece of Coruscant architecture. The ship was originally built for Nute Gunray and the Trade Federation, and was reassigned after General Grievous was given total control of the droid armies of the Separatists. Gunray initially refused to surrender the ship, but Darth Sidious himself demanded that the vessel be turned over to Grievous. As a minor consolation, Gunray was able to have Neimoidian navigators and gunners assigned aboard the Invisible Hand, to provide regular information on Grievous' activities. Grievous nearly killed Gunray over this dispute, and only Sidious' demand that the Trade Federation remain part of the Confederacy of Independent Systems kept him from killing the Viceroy. The ship provided Grievous with a fast, mobile flagship from which to conduct his war against the Old Republic. During the First Battle of Coruscant, Grievous was able to capture and hold Chancellor Palpatine aboard the ship. However, the Invisible Hand was forced to hold its own against an onslaught of fightercraft led by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. In an attempt to save the vessel, Grievous ordered his crew to move the ship slowly into the shelter of surrounding Separatist ships. The trick worked only briefly, as the two Jedi managed to get onboard and rescue Palpatine. The situation suddenly became worse as Republic warships located the Invisible Hand and began to pummel it with laser fire, unaware that Palpatine and the Jedi were still onboard. The ship lost its drive systems and began to tumble toward the surface of Coruscant. Only the incredible flying abilities of Anakin Skywalker prevented a major catastrophe, as he was able to pilot the crumbling wreckage of the Invisible Hand to a controlled crash-landing at an abandoned airstrip in Coruscant's industrial sector. Grievous, unfortunately, had fled the dying ship in an escape vessel, and escaped to Utapau. (OWS, LEV, VD3, X3)

Invisible Island
This was a legendary island of untold riches, a virtual paradise according to Mere legends. Located in the most remote part of the oceans of Maramere, the Invisible Island was guarded by the Haunted Strait. The existence of the Island was a secret which was jealously guarded by the Trade Federation during their occupation of the planet, for it was discovered that the Island was made up almost entirely of pure stygium crystal. Lord Toat and his Neimoidian cronies hoped to use the stygium crystals to develop cloaking devices for Federation warships, but their plans were thwarted by Sol Sixxa and Nym. (CRBN)

Invisible Market
This was the name used to describe the intergalactic black market that operated beneath the jurisdiction of the government. (HSR)

Invisible News Stack
Proclaiming to be "everywhere they don't want us to be...," this newsnet sprang up in Brak Sector during the New Order. The INS was founded to provide unbiased reporting on the actions of the Empire, as well as on the government and business of Brak Sector. (FBS)

Invisible Sector
This section of Imperial City, on Coruscant, was something most Imperial inhabitants of the planet would rather forget even existed. The Invisible Sector - often simply called Invisec - was the home of many of the planet's alien laborers, and had been described as "uglier, nastier, and less hospitable than Mos Eisley." The original Invisible Sector boundaries simply encompassed the Alien Protection Zone, but the residents have continually expanded it. (WG)

Invisible Shell
Once described by Han Solo as a "sort of business syndicate, in polite terms", the Invisible Shell was an organization that would stop at no ends to get what it wanted. It was originally founded by Lorimar Lebauer, but he was forced to cede control to his underlings when he was imprisoned on Thyferra. Many believed that Lorimar had been implicated because of information supplied to the Thyferrans by Lorimar's own nephew, Ludlo Lebauer, who hoped to take control of the Shell and eliminate a rival. Ludlo, however, was only given minimal control of the Shell's operations. After the Battle of Endor, the Shell worked hard to obtain exclusive salvage rights from the New Republic, a contract that was also desired by Ludlo Lebauer for himself. Solo also discovered that his Squib contacts - Emala, Sligh, and Grees - had been working with the Shell to obtain rare works of art, then selling them to the Empire for credits and information. The Shell then communicated the intelligence to the NRI; the Squibs had also been hiding behind Ludlo Lebauer's image, because the New Republic Intelligence agency believed he was the one supplying artwork to the Imperials. Unfortunately for Grees, he got too greedy and ended up being frozen in carbonite by Ludlo Lebauer. (SWI67)

Invisible Star
This modified Action V transport was owned by Qual'om Soach, and served as his mobile base of operations during the height of the New Order. Armed with a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons, the Invisible Star also operated under the forged names Black Hole and Market Maker. (FBS)

Inx, Jondrell
This young pirate was known as a consummate con artist and huckster who would sell his own mother for ten credits. He secretly pretended to be in love with Cressis Linrec, so that he could eventually kidnap her and collect a huge ransom from her father. He told Governor Linrec that, if the ransom wasn't paid, he would sell Cressis to the Zygerian slavers. He enlisted the help of his friend and former emplloyee, Pallas Quintell, but would have sold him out if the mission demanded it. It was later revealed the Jondrell was a native of Kallistas, who used his position as a pirate to acquire credits and funnel them back to the mining colonies on Kallistas. Inx was eventually cornered by a trio of bounty hunters sent by Prefect Rinn to capture him, but he managed to escape. (GG10)

Inyri
This was one of the most common female names given to human children across the galaxy. (GCG)

Inyri
This was one of the most common female names among the Corellians. (GMR9)

Inysh
This planet was the homeworld of the Abinyshi race. The Empire stripped the world of its deposits of kalonterium, dumping the toxic wastes produced in every conceivable location. The plants were abandoned by the Empire, and Inysh was left a ruined world. (AE)

IO
Short for ion-out, this was a slang term used by shockboxers to describe any punch that used ion energy to render an opponent's hub inoperable. This kind of punch left the opponent's body armor without power, forcing the referee to end the match before other injuries could occur. (OWS)

Io, Dargen
This Alliance Captain served as the sector Chief of Supply for Mortex Sector during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (BI)

Ioa
This New Republic Navy Captain was in command of the Borealis when it served as Leia Organa-Solo's flagship during her travel to the Chorios Systems. Like the rest of the crew on his ship, he was killed by the Death Seed plague unleashed by Seti Ashgad. (POT)

Ioaa
This sweet fruit once grew wild across the surface of the planet Ithor. (GCG)

Ioaa
This name was common among Ithorian females. Although such names do not generally have meaning, Ithorians who studied their race's history learned that the name referred to a sweet fruit that was native to Ithor. (GCG)

Iola
This was the name of a brave wife from Cerean mythology. (GCG)

Iola
This was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife. In this case, a female will take on their husband's grandfather's name for official matters. The name Iola referred to a brave wife in Cerean mythology. (GCG)

Ioli, Beta
This female Duros served as a Lieutenant in the Galactic Alliance military, during the years following the Swarm War. Lieutenant Ioli was at the controls of the Rover when Ben Skywalker took the vessel to investigate the bombing on the Villa Solis estate on Terephon, during the assassination attempt on the Hapan Queen Mother, Tenel Ka. At Terephon, the crew recovered Jaina Solo and Zekk, who had been on the planet doing their own investigation, when the Ducha Galney ordered them killed. The Ducha went so far as to destroy her family's estate in an failed effort to eliminate the two Jedi.

With the news of Ducha Galney's treachery, the Rover sped back to Hapes, only to find itself in the midst of a battle between the Hapan Royal Navy and the Heritage Fleet. The crew understood the necessity to warn the Queen Mother of her enemies, but realized that any such transmission would be picked up by the Heritage Fleet, which would try to eliminate the source. Lieutenant Ioli and Chief Petty Officer Tanogo agreed to remain on the ship and transmit the message, after ensuring that Ben and the rest of the crew evacuated first.

Although the message was successfully transmitted, the ships of the Heritage Fleet quickly identified the Rover as an enemy and opened fire. Ioli and Tanogo died in the resulting explosion, (LF3)

Ioliu Sea
This was the smallest of the three major bodies of water found on the planet Rodia. (SPG)

Iolu
This Korunnai was one of many who served Kar Vastor as a member of the Akk Guards, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When Jedi Master Mace Windu tried to help the Korunnai rid themselves of Balawai control by attacking the city of Pelek Baw, Iolu and the Akk Guards were ordered to oppose any attempt to succeed. When Nick Rostu shot and killed both Prouk and Thaffal, Iolu retaliated with his vibroblades. Even though he had once saved Nick's life, Iolu felt no compassion, and tried to sever Nick's head from his body. Nick managed to avoid the killing blow, and shot him in the arm with a slugthrower. Iolu managed to recover from the blow and sliced open Nick's stomach, but Nick grabbed a blaster as shot Iolu in the head. (SHPT, CN1)

Ion
This small, eight-legged rodent was discovered in the engine compartment of the Shadow Chaser by Jacen Solo, while the ship was en route to Kashyyyk. The small creature had chewed up several components of the ship's ion shielding, and this caused the ship to be jerked out of hyperspace upon encountering an ion storm. The ship was damaged, but completed the trip to Kashyyyk and was repaired. Jacen kept Ion and her babies in a small cage, and part of his collection of strange animals. (DK)

Ion
This mid-level starship booster system was produced by Republic Sienar Systems during the final years of the Old Republic. (SWG2P)

Ion Accelerator 2
This was an upgraded version of the Deluxe Ion-Accelerator ion cannon that was produced by Koensayr, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Ion Accelerator 3
This was an upgraded version of the Ion Accelerator 2 ion cannon that was produced by Koensayr, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Ion Alley
This was the nickname used to describe the ion defense grid which protected the starship approach to Exovar's Emporium, on the planet Neftali. After transmitting the proper identification, ships had to pass through a heavy set of blast doors before entering a long tunnel. The tunnel was equipped with an EXVR-1 ion generation field, giving it the nickname Ion Alley. Any unauthorized ship passing through Ion Alley was hit with a barrage of ion energy, enough to override shields and render a starship inert. (WSV)

Ion Beamer
A paddle-shaped medical instrument used by the Ssi-ruuvi to immobilize their prisoners. These devices were also called ion paddle beamers. These devices affected humans and most humanoids in the same way a DEMP gun affected droids: electromagnetic impulses within the nervous system of the target were disrupted, cutting off the target's control of their body. Like other Ssi-ruuvi technology, these weapons were powered by enteched life-energy, which provided a variable energy source. New Republic technicians who tried to attach standard power packs simply burned out the beamer. The beam which was generated could not be deflected by the blade of a lightsaber, although it did bend around the lightsaber's blade. (TB, TBSB, FH2)

Ion Blaster
This was a form of blaster which fired ion energy, instead of laser bolts. Like ion cannons, ion blasters were effective for disrupting electrical systems. (AA)

Ion Bomb
In the decades leading up to the fall of the Old Republic, ion bombs were considered the most powerful explosives in the galaxy. Ion bombs were not self-guided, and could only be dropped on a target. This meant that the use of ion bombs was reserved for orbital bombardment of surface-based installations, where the atmosphere could be used to assist with keeping the bomb on target. Each ion bomb was outfitted with stabilizer fins that kept the weapon on a straight trajectory. The blast of an ion bomb rendered any electrical system in the blast radius inoperable, including droids and computer systems. (DR, SSOG)

Ion Cannon
This was the name given to any particle cannon that used a huge turbine to generate a large negative ion pulse. The pulse could be aimed as a concentrated mass at its target. The pulse didn't physically destroy its target, but the ions contained in the pulse rendered computers and other delicate systems useless. Ion cannons could be built to almost any size and use, from small starfighter systems to huge, planetary defense weapons. (E5, SWSB)

Ion Defense Grid
Any system which could be used to protect the starship entrance to a facility, the IDG employed several wide-pattern ion cannons to set up a grid of ion energy that could be used to disable a starship which tried to gain unauthorized access. (WSV)

Ion Driver
This was a mid-level, starship ion cannon that was produced by Taim & Bak, during the early years of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Ion Encumbrance System
This form of ion weapon was used during the Old Republic. Similar in effect to the modern ion cannon, the ion encumbrance system sprayed a target starship with a sweeping barrage of ion energy that disabled its shipboard electrical systems. It acted more like a sensor sweep than a direct blast of ion energy. (STF)

Ion Engine
A compact sublight drive which can generate large amounts of thrust and velocity by expelling charged particles through and exhaust port. (SW)

Ion Exciter
A component of the early hyperdrive systems which helps charge up the particles used to generate thrust. (TOJ)

Ion Explosives
Detonation weapons which employ excited ions to initiate the explosion of certain forms of matter. (ZHR)

Ion Grenade
This explosive grenade was developed some 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, for use against battle droids and droid armies. When detonated, the ion grenade ejected a sphere of highly-charged ion energy, which rendered the electronics of a droid useless. (KOTOR2)

Ion Limpet
This small, disk-shaped device was a form of homing beacon. It could be placed on the hull of a starship, and its thin profile helped to prevent it from being detected. As the targetted ship moved through space, including hyperspace, the ion limpet accessed the HoloNet to transmit information on the ship's exact location in the galaxy to a specified HoloNet node. (VD, CVD)

Ion Paddle Beamer
This was another name for the Ssi-ruuvi ion beamer. (TBSB)

Ion Prod
This small device used a concentrated burst of ionized energy to scramble the circuits of a droid or automaton, rendering it inoperative until the energy could dissipate. Although similar in some respects to a droid caller, the ion prod did not require a dedicated restraining bolt or other synchronization system to immobile a droid. The blast of ion energy could be directed at any droid. (CWTV07)

Ion Pulse Bomb
This was a smaller, modified version of an ion pulse weapon, designed to be used in close quarters. It could cause ionization damage to everything within a 200-meter radius. (TSIA)

Ion Pulse Weapon
This modified form of ion cannon was developed for use on starfighters during the last years of the Galactic Civil War. It used ion energy in such a way as to initially cause damage to another starship's shields, allowing a secondary burst of ion energy to disable shipboard systems. (XWA)

Ion Rocket
This was an inexpensive, sublight propulsion system. (MC5)

Ion Sandbox
This saloon, located near the Calamar Intergalactic Spaceport on Esseles, was popular with the many pilots who traveled through the system. Bama Vook hid within the saloon after he stole the Trade Federation's droid starfighters from Trinkatta Starships. (E1A2)

Ion Scrambler
This device was developed by the Alliance to mask their communications signals from Imperial sensors. (MC9)

Ion Shield
This type of planetary shield was used on planets like Bonadan to maintain a fairly pleasant atmosphere close to the group. The ion shield served to eliminate many of the odors and pollution which were common around spaceports and manufacturing facilities, providing groundside beings with somewhat more breathable air. (EOV, GMR8)

Ion Storm
This Strike-class cruiser served as the flagship of Governor Newen Streeg's fleet, which patrolled the Sisar Run during the last years of the New Order. It was commanded by Captain Barse Neoman during this time. (SSR)

Ion Storm
This was the term used to describe any event in which a collection of free ions swept through the vacuum of space or the gases of an atmosphere. Many beings claimed that they could tell when an ion storm was approaching, because they could smell the ozone that was being created as the ions moved through oxygen. (DSTR)

Ion Straight
This was a term used in the sport of shockboxing to describe any punch that came straight at its target, using ion energy to stun the other fighter and possibly short out their body armor. (OWS)

Ion Striker
This ancient weapon employed a blast of ionized energy to disable a droid, or other electronic equipment. (KOTOR2)

Ion Surcharge Generator
A device which builds up an overload of ionized particles for use in an ion cannon. (ZHR)

Ion Surprise
This was a term used by smugglers and independent spacers of the Old Republic to describe the use of ion weapons in a firefight, when the opponent was least suspecting it. The use of the ion surprise was common on those ships that appeared to lack ion cannons, or had them concealed in secret hull compartments. An ion surprise was often followed by a laser chaser, which poured laser energy into a starship's shields after the ion blast caused electronics to fail. (RDV)

Ion Team
This clone commando unit was part of the 22nd Air Combat Wing, stationed on Boz Pity during the final stages of the Clone Wars. The team saw action with Jedi General Roan Shryne on Deko Neimoida, prior to being assigned to Shryne's command on Murkhana. Led by the clone commando known as Climber, Ion Team was one of the very few squads that initially refused to execute Order 66 when the command was given. Instead, they allowed Shryne and his fellow Jedi to escape into the forest before deciding to give chase. When word of Ion Team's actions reached the ears of Emperor Palpatine, he ordered Darth Vader to personally punish them for their insubordination, and to make them an example of what happened when clones failed to loyally served their Emperor. On Murkhana, Vader confronted the team, and cut down two clones in short order. Climber was shot as he fled into the forest with the fourth member of the team, and they were hunted down by Commander Appo and the forces of the 501st Legion. After being captured, Climber and his teammate were sent to the prison facility on Agon Nine. (RDV)

Ion Torpedo
This form of starship weapon was developed during the early years of the New Republic. The ion torpedo was essentially a guided version of the ion bomb, and used heat-signature sensors or other targeting mechanisms to lock onto its target and follow it through space. (JB)

Ion-blast Missile
This form of projectile weapon was developed by the Empire during the height of the New Order. It was designed to penetrate a vehicle and explode, releasing a blast of ions which destroyed the vehicle's electrical and computer systems. (PZZ2, MCI4)

Ione
This planet was located in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy, in the heart of the Ivax Nebula. Ione served as the primary staging location for Figg Excavations' excursions into the Ivax Nebula. (WOA33)

Ion-enabled Sensor Tag
This form of targeting system was used during the last decades of the Old Republic. Starships equipped with this system could fire an ion-shielded tag at their target. The ion shielding served to drain the target's protective shields, while the tag lodged itself onto the hull and provided a guidance mechanism for volleys of nano-missiles. (STF)

Ion-flux stabilizer
This starship component regulated the flow of ion energy througout the ship's systems. (JS)

Ionic Cannon
This was the primary weapon of the first Death Star, according to the Marvel Comics series. (LTA3, MC52)

Ionic Ring
This unique starship was created by Professor Renn Volz, during his tenure at the Maw Installation. It used a specially modulated ionic beam to manipulate a planet's weather patterns. Volz envisioned the ship as a climatizer, capable of altering the destructive forces of nature to make a world livable. He tested the ship on Zerm, and it was a success. However, Volz was unaware of the true nature of the Maw's purpose. He came under Imperial scrutiny, and Captain Bzorn took control of the ship. Bzorn used the ionic ring to destroy planets, turning their weather into stormy, devastating forces. The ring was recaptured by Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca at Kessel, but Volz decided that the ship was too dangerous. He destroyed it himself. (CSWEA, SWDB, RESB)

Ionic Tingler
This was another name for the Aeramaxis PDW-50 personal weapon. (GFT)

Ionite
This mineral was considered quite valuable throughout the galaxy. Its unique characteristic was its ability to carry neither a positive nor a negative charge. Instead, ionite carried an alternate charge that affected all charged particle fields around it. In the presence of a positively-charged element, ionite carried a negative charge that negated the positive charge. The reverse was also true. Thus, in the presence of ionite, any electrical device had its operations voided and became unusable. This was especially true to chronometers and other timing devices. Much of the galaxy's ionite was mined on the planet Bandomeer. Note that Star Wars: Rebel Force - Renegade indicates that ionite was also used in starship construction. (DR, GORW, RF3)

Ionization Blaster
This was the term used to describe the cobbled-together weapons used by the Jawas on Tatooine to immobilize droids and machinery. These guns were a crude form of the DEMP gun used by the Imperial forces. (EGW)

Ionization Reactor
A shipboard component which converts solar energy from the surrounding space into useable starship fuel. (SCRE)

Ionjet
This was an entry-level starship drive system produced by Koensayr, during the early years of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Ion-Jet
see Ionjet (SWG2P)

Ion-Mesh Projection System
This was the most powerful starship shield generation system produced by SoroSuub, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Ion-neutrino Reactor
This was an outdated form of power generation equipment that used contained nuclear reactions to generate energy. (CN1)

Ion-out
This was a slang term used by shockboxers to describe any punch that used ion energy to render an opponent's hub inoperable. This kind of punch left the opponent's body armor without power, forcing the referee to end the match before other injuries could occur. (OWS)

Ionstrike, Wonn
This crimelord worked from a base on Cloud City. He was an elderly man who was crippled in an accident and left paralyzed. He moved about in a specially-designed wheelchair, and spent his entire career working to drive Jabba the Hutt out of business on Cloud City. (GG2, GG12)

Ion-turbo Cannon
This ground-based, Imperial weapon was developed during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Its firing mechanism was connected to a computer-controlled timing system that cycled the weapon through a precise series of actions. This allowed the ion-turbo cannon to fire an intense ion blast at a starship in orbit, followed shortly afterward by a powerful turbolaser blast. The ion blast would overload the starship's shields, allowing the turbolaser blast to penetrate the hull and cause damage to the ship. Because these weapons were so devastating, enemy forces often targetted them first during orbital bombardment. This meant that the ion-turbo cannons had to be housed in special facilities that were capable of withstanding anything the enemy could throw at them. (LSSM)

Ionweb
This was a high-end starship shielding system produced by the Mon Calamari shipwrights, during the height of the New Order. The Ionweb system was available in several grades, including advanced and elite versions, depending on the shielding capabilities required. (SWG2P)

Ion-Web A
This was an entry-level starship deflector shield system that was produced by the Mon Calamari shipwrights during the height of the New Order. The Ion-Web A was available in a standard version as well as a deluxe version, which provided better protection for a starship owner. (SWG2P)

Ion-Web B
This was a mid-grade starship shielding system produced by the Mon Calamari shipwrights, during the height of the New Order. It was based on the designs for the Ion-Web A system. (SWG2P)

Ionweb Elite
This was an upgraded version of the Ionweb starship shielding system that was developed and produced by the Mon Calamari shipwrights, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Ionweb Elite 2
This was the most powerful of the Ionweb starship shielding systems that was developed and produced by the Mon Calamari shipwrights, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Ion-X
This ion weapon was developed by the Baragwin race, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor. The Ion-X never went into full production, and the only prototype known to exist was obtained by Suvam Tan. He upgraded several of the weapon's systems, making the blast more powerful. (KOTOR)

Iope
This small world was the third moon in orbir around the distant planet of Rinn. (RF4)

Iopene Princess
This starship, a Mining Guild cutter, was hijacked by EV-9D9 as she escaped from Cloud City. It was a state-of-the-art ship, equipped with the newest hyperdrive motivators, sensor systems, and weapons. (TJP)

Ios
This gas giant, which was orbited by six moons, was the fourth and outermost planet in the Feriae System. (SWMW)

Iota
This was one of the common designations used by the targetting computers installed on Imperial warships to identify a group of Imperial starfighters. Because most Imperial starfighters, like TIE Fighters, were mass-manufactured, their transponders codes were often little more than a group of letters and numbers. In order to distinguish these ships from enemy vessels during a battle, Imperial targetting computers assigned all fighters in a given unit to a specific group, each with a specific designation. The seventh group discovered by the targetting computer was usually assigned to the Iota group, and the ships within that group were also given a numerical identifier, such as Iota 1. In situations where starfighters from two or more base ships were participating in a battle, the designation Iota was preceded by a character that was unique to the base ship. (TIEP)

Iotek
This small corporation manufactured starship ion power cells and ionization reactors for the Empire. (XW, TSC)

Ioth
This being served the Alliance military as a Captain, working as a naval supply analyst during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Captain Ioth was the individual who discovered that the Empire was fortifying the Oplovis fleet, just prior to their planned attack on Mantooine. (RASB)

Iotra
This planet, the fifth in the Iotran System, was the temperate homeworld of the Iotran race. The Iotran year was slightly longer than the galactic standard - fourteen Iotran years encompass nearly eighteen standard years. (GG12)

Iotran
A humanoid alien species of incredible strength, the Iotrans hail from the planet Iotra. They have three fingers and a strong thumb on each hand, and two foretoes on each foot. At their elbows, shoulders, and hands were sturdy, bone-like spikes that help protect them from attack. They were an extremely military race, letting their actions speak in place of words. Their culture and history were extremely stable, a result of continued military dominance within the government. Many well-known galactic military orders grew out of Iotran military nations; although these Iotran nations have since combined to for the Iotran Police Force, the orders themselves continue to find new members througout the galaxy. Each Iotran citizen must serve in the IPF for six standard years at the age of 14 seasons (about 18 standard years). Iotran technology was crude but reliable, but not up to galactic norms. They have assumed the use of hyperdrives and weapons in order to further their military defenses. (RPG, GG12)

Iotran Antiquities Enforcement
This branch of the Iotran Police Force was missioned with protecting the various archeaological relics of Iotra's past. During the early years of the New Republic, this agency was forced to track down Doctor Follnor Callat on several occasions, as the unscrupulous xenoarchaeologist tried to steal rare and unique Iotran artifacts for his own collection. (GMR9)

Iotran Braceman Council
This elite group of veterans of service to the Iotran Police Force tracks down off-world criminals throughout the galaxy. They didn't care about or observe Imperial jurisdiction during the New Order, and have achieved a 95% capture rate during their history. The IBC also doesn't care about political or governmental regulations, especially when the capture was imminent. This had earned them a great deal of resentment from various planetary governments. (GG12)

Iotran Defense Technologies
This small corporation produced a variety of specialized weapons for use by the Iotran Bracemen. (AIR)

Iotran Expanse
This area of the galaxy contained the Iotran System, and bordered Hutt Space, the Karstaxon Regions, and Sulorine Sector. (SSR)

Iotran Guards
This was the name used to describe the Iotran security force that was permanently hired by the Muuns to guard the various vault-spires and spaceports of the planet Muunilinst. The Iotran Guards were formed more than 1,000 years before the onset of the Clone Wars, and most of its members were the descendants of the original guards. (GORW)

Iotran Police Force
Known simply as the IPF, this Iotran military force was created from the various military orders that supported former Iotran nations. When the Iotran nations agreed to unify themselves some 700 years before the Galactic Civil War, the various orders were consilidated into the IPF. They act as law enforcers, national guardsmen, and rescue workers throughout Iotran society. Each Iotran who reaches the age of fourteen seasons (about 18 standard years) must serve a tour of duty in the IPF, during which time they learn basic military training. (GG12)

Ioz noy jitat
This was a Zabrak curse, often used to denounce one's enemies. (SWI83)

Ip
This common Zabrak surname meant "hunter". (GCG)

I'pan, Vuurok
This Yuuzhan Vong was a member of the Shamed Ones, and was relegated to living in the bowels of the planet Coruscant after it was transformed into a likeness of the long-lost Yuuzhan Vong homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar. A former warrior, I'pan was the first to encounter Nom Anor in the tunnels beneath the surface, after the former Executor fled capture for the loss of Jacen Solo. (FH1)

IPG Longtail
This was a more common name for the IPG-X1131 LongTail podracer. (SWGAL)

IPG-X1131 LongTail
This model of podracer, manufactured by Irdani Performance Group, had the longest engines of any podracer which was mass-produced during the last decades of the Old Republic. Teemto Pagalies flew one of these racers. The cockpit of the LongTail measured 5.33 meters in length, while the engines were an immense 10.67 meters long. The LongTail could achieve speeds of 775 kilometers per hour. (IG1)

Ipharian-Da'Lor
This was the name of a race of serpent-like beings, noted for their snake-like lower body. They moved about by slithering on their thick, meter-long tails, while their forebody stood nearly three meters above the ground. They were vaguely humanoid from the torso up, with muscular arms and an elongated face. A ridge of black spines ran from the back of their skull down to their tail, which ended with a retractable spike. The Ipharian-Da'Lor often used masks to cover their faces, thereby hiding their identity. (WSV)

Iphigin
This temperate world was the home planet of the Iphigini race. (SOP)

Iphigini
This race of sentients was native to the planet Iphigin. They were easily recognized by their braided lip-beards, which sat at the bottom of a craggy face. Their skin was quite wrinkled. (SOP)

IPI-1000
This device, produced by MerenData during the height of the Galactic Civil War, was a personal identification and information display unit. Designed to hold up to twelve passports, identification cards, and operating licenses, the IPI-1000 allowed its user to carry a single source of identification, no matter what form of ID was needed. The original documents could be stored in a safe place for later use. (GFT)

Iponta
This Gutretee warrior was the strongest of the tribe which greeted offworlders to Isis. When the Alliance sent a group of operative to Isis to keep the crew of the Wanderer from revealing its location, they had to survive combat with Iponta, in order to prove their trust and honor. (IC)

Ipsee, mipsee, monsee, mope
This Gungan singsong was spoken whenever a Gungan had to choose between several options, but had no way to determine which was the best option. (E1A9)

Ipsus
This box-shape space station was erected in the atmosphere of the planet Genarius by the Naescorom group, as a manufacturing center, during the final years of the Old Republic. It also came to serve as a base from which miners could obtain rare gases and energy from the planet's upper atmosphere. Its shape was unusual, being formed from several distinct substations that were combined to form the whole of Ipsus, and its hull was covered with chromium-treated alloys to help it shed radioactive energy and deflect the winds of a storm. After it was discovered that the Believers had created a deadly virus that killed only Caarites, but could have mutagenic affects on other races, the only known sample was taken to a secured laboratory on S-Ipsus for further investigation. The sample was contained inside a specialized bomb casing, which suddenly emitted a tracking beacon when the scientists on S-Ipsus started working on it. Technicians working for Nirama discovered that the beacon was sent to another location aboard Ipsus, revealing that the virus could be produced for the Believers. Because the destination of the beacon was beneath a Naescorcom thermal detonation production facility, a mad scramble to locate the hidden facility quickly ensued. (LFC, MCT2)

IPV/4
This was the latest in Seinar Fleet Systems' patrol craft, designed and built in the decade following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. (VOF)

IPV-1
Following the success of the IR-3F, Seinar Fleet System produced the IPV-1 System Patrol Craft. Measuring 150 meters in length, these fast, maneuverable craft were well-armed for intercepting criminals along border regions where Star Destroyers were not present. Note that Pirates and Privateers documents the length at just 120 meters. This meant that most IPV-1 patrol craft were assigned to regions of space that were relatively secure already, as the larger and more formidable vessels were dispatched to troublesome areas. The IPV-1 lacked ahyperdrive, and so it was restricted to patrolling specific areas of space. These ships have been rated at a top speed of 80 MGLT, and required a crew compliment of twelve to operate. There were four officers who controlled the ship, and eight gunners to man the weapons. Each IPV-1 had the cargo capacity to transport up to 200 metric tons of supplies or equipment, and could accommodate ten additional troops or prisoners. The standard IPV-1 was armed with four Taim & Bak XV7 light turbolasers, a Krupx VL-4a warhead launching system, front- and rear-projecting Novaldex shields (rated at 150 SBD), and a 60-RU titanium alloy hull. Note that Last of the Jedi - Death on Naboo indicates that the IPV-1 was capable of maneuvering in atmosphere. (ISB, TSC, PP, SOG, LJ4, SSOG)

Iqobal
This gas giant was the fourth planet of the Polith System, located in the Inner Rim. It was orbited by fifty-four moons. (PH)

Iqoon
This barren ball of rock was the third and outermost planet in the Roon System. It was orbited by a pair of moons. (WOTC, GORW)

Iquar
This man was a member of the Karazak Slavers Cooperative team sent to capture Janissa Locrin. It was part of Seland' Ir's plans that the entire strike team surrender after successfully recovering Locrin, thereby avoiding bloodshed. Most of the slavers were set free because the studio she worked for paid off the ransom before charges could be brought up. He was eventually caught by New Republic Sector Rangers, and forced to confess the plans. (GG11)

Iquazard
This species of large, boar-like reptile was native to the planet Gelgelar. Small iquazards were the favored prey of reeho birds. These creatures had incredibly thick skin, and it was said that an iquazard could absorb a blaster bolt from near range. (SWJ14)

Ir, Seland'
This Verpine was exiled from his hive, although he claimed to know nothing of the reasons behind the exile. He later joined the Karazak Slavers Cooperative as a project developer, and used his talents to organization and calculation to ensure that any KSC mission would benefit the overall guild. (GG11)

IR-3F
This was a model of systems patrol craft produced by Sienar Fleet Systems, and was the forerunner of the IPV-1 patrol vessel. At 110 meters in length, and armed with four turret-mounted turbolaser cannons, the IR-3F was capable of taking on capital-sized targets. It was most often used as a blockade ship, with several other similar vessels forming a line. It had to be based in the system it patrolled, however, since the basic design lacked a hyperdrive. The IR-3F required a crew of 3, with 8 gunners and up to 10 troops. It could transport up to 180 metric tons of cargo and had a three-month supply of consumables. Despite the benefits of its impressive power-to-mass ratio, the small crew tended to wear down quickly trying to maintain the ship on long patrols. (FOP, PP)

IR-5

Irallish
This name was common among the members of the Squalris race. (GORW)

Irax
This was one of the largest species of mammals known in the galaxy. Although native to the forests of several worlds, many irax were found near settlements and surburban areas. The sudden appearance of an irax on a road or highway was cause for trouble, as a mature individual could demolish a landspeeder if the driver of the speeder failed to avoid hitting the beast. (DBPD)

Ir'cara'suhl
This was a common name among the Duinuogwuin who had been encountered in the galaxy. (GORW)

IRD
This small starfighter was introduced by the Corporate Sector Authority during the early years of the New Order. It was a fast craft when flown in outer space, but suffered greatly when flown in a planet's atmosphere. The ship's name was derived from its mission profile: Interception, Reconnaissance, and Defense. It was a combat-dedicated fighter measuring 8.5 meters in length, and wa armed with a pair of twin blaster cannons. It was designed for a single pilot. (HSE, CSA)

IRD-A
This second-generation of the Corporate Sector Authority's Intercept/Reconnaissance/Defense starfighter solved the original design's lack of performance in atmospheric flight. It measured 10 meters in length, and was armed with a twin blaster cannon and a concussion missile tube. Like the original IRD, it was designed for a single pilot. (CSA)

Irdani Performance Group
This conglomerate produced many parts for racing craft, from podracers to starships. They also developed and manufactured complete racers, such as trhe IPG-X1131 LongTail. (IG1)

IRD-B
This modification to the Corporate Sector Authority's IRD-A starfighger was armed with a concussion missile launcher. (XWA)

Irden
This tribe of Ugnaughts lived on Cloud City, during the years surrounding the Galactic Civil War. The Irdens were one of the first three groups purchased by Ecclessis Figg, who offered the Ugnaughts their freedom in exchange for completing the construction of the floating city. Note that The New Essential Guide to Alien Species indicates that the three tribes were not necessarily purchased by Figg, but forced to travel to Bespin to hear his offer. (GG2, MTS, NEGA)

Irenez
This gray-haired woman, like her counterpart Sena Midanyl, was a native Corellian with ties to Garm Bel Iblis. It was Bel Iblis who sponsored her enrollment to the Imperial Academy. Following her graduation, Irenez opted to remain neutral in the war between the Empire and the Alliance. Instead, she formed her own platoon of mercenaries and soldiers. When Bel Iblis put out feelers to retain the services of good soldiers, Irenez immediately made her team available. During the early years of the New Republic, she was placed in charge of securing the secret meetings with Tav Breil'lya that Bel Iblis had arranged on New Cov. It was due to her picket lines that Han Solo was intercepted when he tried to tail Breil'lya, but Sena eventually recognized Han and allowed him a measure of freedom. Irenez' pickets later intercepted Luke Skywalker, who had arrived on New Cov to meet Han. When Imperial forces raided Ilic to obtain drugs and medicines - a cover for the city's clandestine payments to the Empire - Irenez was ordered to help them return to their ships. (DFR, DFRSB)

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

Irfwix, Toqor
This was the name of a distinguished member of the Vratix hive Toqor. (UANT)

Irgkul Bush
This unusual plant, native to the planet Ansion, did not have an underground root system. It had adapted to the continual pressure of the winds of the planet's environment by obtaining nutrients directly from the air, and thus was often seen being blown about in the breeze. (APS)

Iri
This planet, located in the Epidimi System, was discovered some 5,000 years before the fall of the Old Republic. Republic scientists discovered that the avian lifeforms living on Iri were genetically similar to those living on nearby Disim. They attempted to breed the unique species, in hopes of creating a new form of life. The experiment was a success, but the resulting species - known as the Tarong - was much more intelligent and eventually overran the two parent species. The original species no longer exist in the Epidimi System. (GG12)

Iriaz
This docile mammal, native to the planet Dantooine, was hunted for its flesh and pelt. The average iraiz was a four-legged creature that was distinguished by its large snout and the two curving horns that graced its skull. These horns were the creature's primary defense against predators like the horned kath hound. Noted for their swift speed, iriaz could flee or defend themselves with quick bursts. In general, however, these creatures preferred to move about on the edges of Dantooine's grassy plains, eating grasses and the leaves from low-hanging tree branches. These creatures moved about in large herds, using sheer numbers as protection against predators. However, this herding instinct worked against the iriaz during the years following the Great Sith War, when hunters began shooting them for their pelts. Iriaz were killed in large numbers, and the population declined for many decades before strict limits were placed on the number of individuals that could be killed by a single hunter. (KOTOR, WOTC)

Irid
This avian creature, native to the planet Ragoon-6, was distinguished by the bright yellow coloration of its wings. (DOH)

Iridescence

Iridian, Eero
This tall, spindly being, distinguished by his wabing antennae and bright yellow eyes, worked in the Senate Rotunda on Coruscant some 68 years before the Battle of Geonosis. Eero was a friend of young Dooku, even though Dooku had once publically embarassed by Dooku at a presentation he was making. Dooku, many years younger, pointed out several flaws in a presentation Eero was making, Eero had hoped to impress was father, an Old Republic Senator, but Dooku's questions merely humilitated him. Eero, however, recognized Dooku's knowledge and sought him out later. Years later, Eero tried twice to run for Senator on his own homeworld, but lost the election both times. His father had spent the family fortune, leaving Eero with no way to fully finance either campaign. He decided to retire from public service, although he remained attached to the Galactic Senate as a special aide. Years later, while serving Senator Blix Annon, Eero was reunited with Dooku briefly, until their ship was attacked by Lorian Nod. Nod managed to capture Senator Annon, leaving Eero badly wounded and their ship adrift in space. When the Jedi managed to get the ship back to Voltare Spaceport, Eero quickly recovered, and followed them to Von-Alai. There, he revealed that he was part of Lorian Nod's plot to exact revenge on the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights, having helped sabotage the starships of several Old Republic Senators so that Lorian could capture them and hold them for ransom. On Von-Alai, Senator Annon died of a heart attack, and Dooku managed to capture both Nod and Eero. They were sent back to Coruscant to stand trial for murder and conspiracy. (LOJ)

Iridiite
This opalescent stone was used in the construction of furniture. (E3N)

Iridik'k-stallu

Iridium
This planet was known for its infamous space pirates. The pirates used special power gems to generate a disruptive aura that allowed them to break through starship shields. Raskar held the last of the usable gems, until Han Solo and Chewbacca wrested it from him. (CSW)

Iridonia
This harsh planet, known as the homeworld of the Zabrak race, was located in the Mid Rim. Iridonia was considered by most beings to be an inhospitable world. Its surface was regularly scoured by 200-kilometer-per-hour storms, and acidic seas threw caustic spray onto the land. Any lifeform that evolved on Iridonian seemed to be some form of predator, always looking to find prey to sustain itself. What arable land there was for the Zabrak race to farm was located within canyons, away from the elements.

Because of the harsh environmenton Iridonia, many Zabrak left their homeworld behind and settled on other worlds. In addition to large populations on Talus and Corellia, the Zabrak maintained colonies on eight other planets in the Mid Rim.

During the decades leading up to the Battle of Ruusan, Iridonia was the site of an elite Sith training academy, where those individuals who had strong connections to the Force were trained to become Sith Lords. (JDM, IWE1, ANT, SWG2P, DBPD, NEGA)

Iridonian Double-bladed Fighting Pike
This weapon, known in the Zabrak language as the zhaboka, was first developed by scavenging wooden sticks and metal scraps from shipwrecks. Over the centuries, the zhaboka evolved into a well-balanced, two-meter-long staff that was tipped at each end with a tempered durasteel blade. The central half-meter of the staff was wrapped in leather to provide better grip. Its original use was for killing the predators found on Iridonia, although many modern pikes were ceremonial weapons. The entire pike could be unlocked at the grip and stored in a ascabbard for easier transport. (UANT)

Iridonian Zabrak
This was the term used to describe any member of the Zabrak race who was native to the planet Iridonia. The used of a planetary adjective was common among the Zabrak race, which had colonized many planets during the existence of its civilization. (ANT, CHRN2)

Irini
This member of the Worker faction, on the planet New Apsolon, was one of the many Workers who were imprisoned by the Absolutes for her part in the industrial sabotage exacted against the Civilized and their businesses. Irini herself worked for a Worker newspaper that supported the peaceful protests agains the Civilized. In the wake of the election of Ewane as planetary leader, Irini and many of her fellow prisoners agreed to work as guides in the Museum of the Absolutes. It was Irini who took Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi on a tour of the Museum, when they arrived on New Apsolon to search for Tahl. The Jedi discovered that Irini was a member of a group led by Lenz which had plotted to assassinate Roan, in retaliation for the murder of Ewane. Irini believed that the Jedi had come to New Apsolon at Roan's behest, to serve as his protection. After Roan was killed, Irini agreed to represent the Workers at a political summit to discuss the filling of his position. She then told Qui-Gon that the Workers had information that pointed to a member of Roan's inner circle as his killer, and all evidence pointed to Balog. She managed to convince Lenz to trust the Jedi, and helped to arrange a meeting with Mota. After the death of Tahl, Irini was trailing Oleg in an effort to ensure his safety. She was unable to keep him from being killed by probe droids, and provided information about his death to Qui-Gon. She later revealed that she stole the list of Absolute supporters from Legislator Pleni, after she had been shot by Balog during his attempt to obtain the list. She told the Jedi that she had tried to obtain the list to avoid further bloodshed, as well as to prevent anyone from finding Lenz's name on the list. Balog, after shooting her, took possession of the list. When she admitted that she had been involved in the deaths of Oleg and Pleni, Irini was arrested and imprisoned. (TTB, DOH, CTV)

Iritsa Civil Guard
This was the police force which patrolled the city of Iritsa, on Chazwa, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (ND)

IrizMark-8
This was Koensayr's version of the Sentinel-class military cruiser, developed during the early years of the New Order. It measured seventy-seven meters in length, and required a crew of six to operate. The primary mission of this ship was in hit-and-fade type operations that required a moderately-armed ship with maneuverability and speed. (WOA34)

Ir'khaim
Dynast of the Noghri clan Kihm'bar, he was Thrawn's personal bodyguard before Rukh assumed the position. (DFR)

Irksh
This was a deadly Yuuzhan Vong poison. (FH2)

irm-Drocubac, Nemrileo
This being, a native of the planet Tanjay IV, was one of the supporters of the secession movement which rose in the Old Republic Senate during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Nemrileo hated the common being, despite the fact that his own lifestyle was based on their output. However, he had never worked with Shu Mai before joining the secession movement, and questioned her loyalty to the cause. For his doubts, Nemrileo was murdered by hidden agents, as a message to the rest of the secession movement. Ostensibly the victim of a speeder crash on Coruscant, he was survived by a wife and two children. (APS, HNN5)

Irmenu
This ancient branch of humankind was noted for its fantastic myths and legends. The rulers of the Irmenu society kept their positions by creating a hereditary empire based on aristocratic families, and they defended their worlds by maintaining one of the most formidable armies the galaxy had ever known. This empire began to fall apart over the following generations, as inbreeding and other scandals eventually brought down the Irmenu empire. Individual families remained largely intact, claiming their aristocratic rights despite being forced to transplant themselves to new worlds. (LF8, RC66, CWNOP)

Irnaj Sector
This area of the galaxy was located in the Mid Rim. (CRO)

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

Irol
This Imperial Sergeant was from a forested planet, where he learned how to fly a speeder bike. His balance and flying skills made him a valuable, though cocky, member of the Imperial garrison on the forest moon of Endor, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (CCG10)

Irolia
This female Chiss was a Commander in the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Like many Chiss, she used the shortened form of her name when speaking to outsiders. Her full Chiss name was Hess'irolia'nuruodo. She was dispatched to intercept Luke Skywalker's mission to locate Zonama Sekot in the Unknown Regions, when the Jedi and their Imperial escort first crossed into the area. Irolia brought them to Csilla, where they were detained until the Chiss could decide whether to allow them continued passage through the Unknown Regions. When it was decided that the Jedi could spend two days searching the Expeditionary Library, Irolia was reduced to babysitting them. When Wynssa Fel was kidnapped by Chief Navigator Peita Aabe - Irolia's superior officer - she found herself wondering about the correct course of action. Jacen Solo helped crystallize her resolve, and the set out to rescue Wyn. (FH2)

Irolunn
This gas was mined in the Cularin System, and had comparable properties to tibanna gas. (LFC)

Iron Age
A pre-technology epoch in galactic history. (CPL)

Iron Cesta Flight
Founded by Toba, this was the first all-Gungan starfighter squadron of the Naboo Space Fighter Corps. They were also the first fighter group to employ the G-1 starfigher. (WOTC)

Iron Citadel
This vast building was once the seat of the Tetan government, until it was overtaken by Satal Keto and Aleema as the command center for the Krath. It was located in Cinnagar, and was heavily armored and armed. (DLS)

Iron Duke
This was one of the many Strike-class cruisers that made up the front lines of the Imperial Naval fleet. (TIE)

Iron Fist
Zsinj's flagship Super-class Star Destroyer, the Iron Fist was originally christened the Brawl, but was renamed in honor of his first command, the Victory-class ship also called Iron Fist. It was pursued by Han Solo and the fleet supporting the Mon Remonda during the early years of the New Republic, before Solo resigned his commission. In a series of battles at Kuat, Vahaba, and Selaggis, Solo nearly destroyed the Iron Fist, but Zsinj always proved to be one step ahead. At Selaggis, Solo came the closest to killing Zsinj, but Zsinj used the Second Death to flee with the Iron Fist intact. These events took place just prior to the Hapan delegation to Coruscant and Prince Isolder's proposal of marriage to Leia. It was later destroyed at Dathomir by Solo's fleet. (CPL, SOC, CTD)

Iron Fist
A elderly Victory-class Star Destroyer, the Iron Fist was Zsinj's first command during his service to the Empire. It was in this ship that he learned to use asteroids as weapons. He could draw an attacking force into an asteroid belt, then fire on the larger asteroids when the opponent attacked. He knew that the opponent would use the larger asteroids for cover as they sneaked in to attack. Super-heated metals and ores would be blasted into space, and acted like schrapnel to the opponent's fighters and taking them out more effectively than laser fire. It was a tactic Zsinj would try to reuse at the Battle of Selaggis, but which was recognized by Myn Donos and thwarted. It later served as part of Grand Admiral Thrawn's fleet. (DFRSB, IF, SOC)

Iron Hand
This was one of the many Strike-class cruisers that made up the front lines of the Imperial Naval fleet. (XVT)

Iron Hand

Iron Knights
According to urban legends, the Iron Knights were a collection of droid warriors and philosophers that had somehow acquired the ability to tap into The Force, depsite the fact that droids were not considered "alive" in the organic sense. Among the most famous of the Iron Knights was the droid R5-D4, which was also known as Skippy. In reality, the Iron Knights were a group of Shards who followed Ilum away from their homeworld of Orax during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. At the time, many Shards were being installed in common droids, to give the simple automata a measure of intelligence. Ilum wanted something more, and set out to install herself in a Juggernaut War Droid. Ilum and her followers eventually met Jedi Master Aqinos, who agreed to train them on Dweem. Aqinos had set out on his own to pursue the possibility of melding droid intelligence with the Force, and had sought out Ilum specifically because her droid form. Aqinos trained the Shards in the ways of the Jedi Order, and the intelligence automatons soon acquired the ability to tap into the Force. When the Clone Wars broke out, Aqinos and Ilum decided to add their considerable forces to the ranks of the Jedi Knights, and they were instrumental in winning several key battles. However, Aqinos was later excommunicated from the Jedi Order for setting out on his own and creating the Iron Knights, forcing Ilum and the surviving Iron Knights to return in shame to Dweem. Their skills with the Force were not forgotten, however, as the Iron Knights were among the first Jedi to be destroyed during the Jedi Purge. Those that survived went into deep hiding, and only returned during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The Iron Knights, who went by the monicker of the High Marshalls, were instrumental in defeating the Red Knights of Life, although it was known that at least one of the Iron Knights fell to the Dark Side of the Force during the battle for Hosk Station. (OWS)

Iron Planet
This was the name given to a large asteroid located in the Tatoo System. It was named for the fact that it seemed to be formed from a greater concentration of heavt materials than neighboring asteroids, and the inhabitants of the planet Tatooine hoped that mining the Iron Planet would help with the acquisition of natural resources that were lacking on the planet. (SWGAL)

Iron Tether
This starship was part of the Old Republic's Space Rescue Corps, during the years leading up the onset of the Clone Wars. It was attacked while traveling near the Lahara Sector's Cowl Crucible, by several snubfighters and a Corellian-made freighter which were believed to have been dispatched by Separatist forces. In order to survive, the captain of the Iron Tether took the ship into the radiation-laden Cowl Crucible, but the crew sustained little injury and was later rescued by a Jedi Knight team led by Darrin Arkanian. (HNN5)

Iron Tower
Located on the planet Aridus, this huge structure was built by the Empire to overcome the intense interference generated by the planet's magnetic fluctuations. However, the intense frequency used by the Tower to overcome the interference caused massive neurological damage to the native Chubbits. When Darth Vader tried to capture Luke Skywalker on the planet by having an actor pose as Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Iron Tower was partially destroyed when Luke escaped from the trap. (CSW)

Iron Will
This newsfeed was considered the official communications vehicle of the Commission for the Preservation and the New Order. First-time subscribers got a "personal" message from Emperor Palpatine himself, welcoming them to COMPNOR. (SWI96)

Ironfleck Marauders
This gang of pirates gave up harassing the space traffic of the Naboo System and set up operations on the Adamant Mass asteroid, during the height of the New Order, in an effort to strike it rich. Their efforts were largely futile, however, as the lode of valuable resources that was rumored to be hidden within the asteroid was never found. (SWG2P)

Ironhand
This Imperial Star Destroyer, under the command of Captain Argona, was one of only thirteen that remained in the Imperial Navy some ten years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. It was later assigned to accompany the Tyrannic and Obliterator to Bothawui, where the three ships were cloaked from sensors and hidden among the comets that pass through the system. Once the battle was joined, Han Solo managed to get many of the Bothan clans to supply warships from their personal fleets. The three Star Destroyers were forced to retreat to Bastion or be slowly picked apart by the New Republic. Captain Nalgol gave the order to retreat, ending the blockade and bringing to a close the Caamas Incident. (SOP, VOF)

Ironhand
This Trenchant-class cruiser was the personal ship of High Inquisitor Mox Slosin, during the height of the New Order. (AIR)

Ironstar
This was one of the many Imperial frigates that were part of the Outer Rim Third Fleet that protected the Mon Calamari shipyards, during the years following the Battle of Caamas. During the defense of the shipyards against an attack by the Galactic Alliance, the Ironstar took heavy damage when the Alliance's forces took control of the shipyard's defenses. The Alliance personnel used the shipyard's weaponry to fire on the Imperial forces, and the Ironstar was one of the first ships to suffer damage in the assault. (SWLI)

Ironwall
This was one of the seven major Kentran cities on Orellon II, and was ruled by Lord Mogotah. (SWJ2)

Ironwithe
This plant was native to the planet Bogden, and was known for its hard branches. The branches were compared to durasteel in strength, although its shoots were tender enough for the giant renda bear to eat. Many of these plants were exported to the Core Worlds for planting in rooftop gardens. However, on Bogden, the ironwithe died off every decade or so, and this seemed to affect offworld plants as well. Many scientists theorized that the ironwithe had a "quantum entanglement reaction" in its DNA, causing all ironwithe to die off, no matter where they were in the galaxy. (MJH)

Ironwood
A tight-grained wood. (SOL)

Irradiation Box
This form of containment unit was used by starship captains to ensure that equipment used on strange planets didn't bring back unusual organisms. The irradiation box produced a series of broadband radiation and ultrasonic fields to kill off harmful bacteria and viruses which may have attached themselves to the equipment. They were smaller, portable versions of irradiators. (PSG)

Irradiator
Any device which emits certain forms of energy to kill certain viruses and organisms. They were often employed at spaceports, to make sure cargo was clean. (HSL)

Irradiator
This was a form of lighting device used aboard a starship. While it appeared that the irradiator was simply an interior light source, it also doubled as a life-support device, emitting energy that killed most airborne bacteria, viruses, or other dangerous microbes. (NEGW)

Irrational Number
This bar was owned by a group of Bith. It was located in Jugsmuk Station, on Gamorr, and was run by a Bith known only as Numbers. (SWJ14)

Irregulars
This loose affiliation pirate and mercenary groups was extremely pro-Alliance in their stance during the Galactic Civil War. The groups which made up the Irregulars were scattered across the galaxy, and harried the Empire's supply convoys in order to help the Alliance. (SWCP)

Irrigation
This was the term used by agents of the Internal Affairs division of the Imperial Security Bureau to describe the technique in which events were manipulated in such a way that an individual under suspicion was given a greater opportunity to commit a larger crime. (ISB)

Irrukiine
These huge, four-armed humanoids were native to the planet Malrev. The only true species with any sort of intelligence on the planet, the Malrev were normally vicious hunters. They were covered with a pelt short, brown fur, and their panther-like faces were split by a mouth full of sharp team. The mad Devaronian Cartariun used the Dark Side of the Force to control the Irrukiine, then put them through a series of wargames by controlling them with just his Sith magic. In this way, he learned how to use them as a weapon, arming them with Imperial blasters for ground assaults while using them to fly TIE Fighters in aerial combat. (XWRR)

Irrv
An Imperial General who commanded Maximillian Veers when he was a lieutenant. Irrv was sent to Culroon III to subjugate the simple people living there, and nearly failed in this duty when the Culroon launched a surprise attack during an official ceremony. The battle was turned the Empire's way when then-Lieutenant Veers disobeyed Irrv's direct order to remain confined to the base and attacked the Culroon with AT-ATs. Irrv was irate with Veers, but never got a chance to court-marshall him, as this commanding officer, Commander Grath, executed him on the spot for not seeing the Culroon charade. Grath then promoted Veers to Major. (SWSB)

Irrv, Dimone
This woman served as TaggeCo's Executive Vice-President of Operations on the planet Goroth Prime, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. An extremely competent leader who earned her position rather than backstabbing her way to it, Irrv was a young woman who always managed to get what she wanted through sheer determination. This allowed her to get the jump on the other corporate leaders on Goroth Prime, thereby earning her additional revenues from mining operations. (GSE)

Irstat
This was the word used to describe the individual tribes of the Tarasin people, each of which contained an average of fifty individuals. (LFC)

Irstat-Kes
This was the title given to the second-eldest female of each tribal group. The term meant "tribal leader," although the female Irstat-Kes was not a matriarch. She was simply the leader of the tribe while the males were out hunting for food. If she lived long enough, the Irstat-Kes would become the oldest female in the tribe, and would become the tribe's wise woman - known as the Mother - after being succeeded by a younger female. The position of irstat-kes was not something a female Tarasin aspired to; instead, it was the will of the irstat which female became its leader. (LFC, WOTC)

Irt
This was a common name given to male Kel Dor. Like all Kel Dor given names, it was short enough that it didn't attract the attention of certain wind spirit, which would carry away young children with long-winded names. (GCG)

Irtanna
This dark-skinned woman was one of the many soldiers who joined the Army of Light and fought for the Jedi Knights, during the final years of the New Sith Wars. Irtanna was not sensitive to the Force, but believed that the Jedi were fighting for the good of the galaxy. She joined the Army of Light about a year before the Battle of Ruusan, and, because of her lack of connection to the Force, was one of the many survivors of the battle. She was chosen by Lord Valenthyne Farfalla to lead a recovery mission to the surface of Ruusan in the wake of the battle, in hopes of finding more survivors. She was unaware that John Othone used the Force to manipulate her mind, planting the suggestion that she should take him along as a pilot.

Once on the surface, Othone set off on his own to confront a group of mercenaries, while Irtanna and a native named Bordon set out to find other survivors. Their search led them to a remote location, where they met the young girl named Rain, who was secretly the newly-chosen apprentice of Darth Bane. She was a bit surprised when the young girl asked to be taken to Onderon, but agreed to take her to the rest of the surviving Jedi fleet and see if transport could be arranged for her. In the meantime, they left Rain in the cargo hold with food and water, hoping to bolster the girl's mood. Thus, she was surprised to hear blaster-fire over the intercom, and was even more shocked when Rain appeared in the cockpit. The young girl demanded that she set a course for Onderon, and Irtanna programmed the trip in order to appease her. Believing that Rain was too scared to actually handle the weapon, Irtanna tried to calm her down. Instead, Rain shot her dead, then killed the rest of the shuttle's passengers before making her way to Onderon. (DBRT)

Irud
This Mando'a word meant "arm." (OWS)

Irugian Rainforest
This dense forest area was found on the planet Abbaji. It was the home of the hundred-meter-tall firethorn trees. (SE)

I-s3b
Seinar Fleet System's Solar Ionization Reactor used on later models of the TIE Interceptor. (XW)

I-s4d
This was the designation of Sienar Fleet System's advanced solar ionization reactors, first used on the TIE Defender. (SWDB)

Isamu
This moon, located in the Birjis System, was known for its unusual mu trees. Each night, every pair of trees on the moon made love. (SWJ15)

Isard, Armand
This man was the head of the Empire's Intelligence organization for many years, having rising through the ranks with the Old Republic's Office of Analysis and the Senate Bureau of Intelligence to become the first chief of the Internal Security Bureau. Many who met him remarked on the somewhat inhuman gaze he had. Armand was known to a great deal of people for his ability to ferret out and destroy Emperor Palpatine's enemies or a cell of Alliance supporters, whether they actually supported the Alliance or not. He was one of the first Imperial officers alerted to the theft of the plans to the first Death Star, and dispatched his daughter, Ysanne, to Darkknell to retrieve them. Note that the Star Wars Databank claims that Ysanne was dispatched toDespayre to recover the plans. His hope was that she would be killed in the attempt, removing any possible threat to his position as leader of the Imperial Security Bureau. Unfortunately, Ysanne survived the mission, but failed to recover the datacards containing the plans. She also figured out why Armand sent her, and was so angry that she implicated Armand in the original theft. She also implicated Armand in the bombing of the Treitamma Political Center, claiming that he did it to kill Arrianya Bel Iblis so that Garm Bel Iblis would be free to join the Alliance. Ysanne then called in Imperial Security, and had Armand arrested and executed for treason. (SOC, TFNR, SWDB, SWI65, RDV)

Isard, Ysanne
A native of Coruscant, Ysanne was born to Imperial service. She was the daughter of Emperor Palpatine's last Internal Security Director. She later betrayed her father to Palpatine, claiming that he was going to defect to the Alliance. Palpatine had her father executed - some say she was the person who shot him - and promoted her to his vacate position. She was later promoted to Director of Imperial Intelligence, and held the Empire together during the years following Palpatine's death at Endor. She felt that Sate Pestage was incapable of holding the Empire together, and began manipulating bureaucrats and military leaders - much as Palpatine had - in an effort to turn them against Pestage. In the end, she was responsible for Pestage's outser from the Empire. Among certain members of the New Republic and the Imperial remnants, she was known as Iceheart. She was characterized by long, black hair, but what made her an imposing force was her eyes. One eye was a cold, ice-blue; the other was deep red with flame-like, golden highlights. She was also responsible for the hiding of the Super-class Star Destroyer Lusankya in an unused facility under Imperial City on Coruscant, from which she tortured and interrogated her prisoners in the infamous Lusankya prison facility. From the Lusankya, she could monitor the happenings on Coruscant without notice. She employed Kirtan Loor as a her agent, creating the Krytos virus and keeping him on Coruscant as the leader of the Palpatine Counterinsurgency Force. Once the New Republic defeated the Krytos virus and fully liberated Coruscant, she took the Lusankya and fled to Thyferra, where she took control of the planet's government. Once she entrenched herself on Thyferra, she ousted the Zaltin corporation and planned to execute 1,000 Vratix a day until she had "downsized" bacta production or Rogue Squadron surrendered to her. If either didn't happen in 30 days, she upped the number of Vratix executed to 2,000 per day. Erisi Dlarit suggested that the plan be implemented as a way to stop Ashern terrorism. In the meantime, Isard activated a specially-made clone of herself, created just before she lost Thyferra, and allowed it to use her own contacts and resources to hide the prisoners formerly hidden on the Lusankya. Once the clone returned to Thyferra, Isard had it executed. Isard continued to hold the upper hand over the Rogues until she lost the Avarice to defection and the Virulence was captured at Yag'Dhul. Left with just the Lusankya, Isard tried to make a stand at the Battle of Thyferra. However, that battle never turned in her favor, and she fled the planet on Fliry Vorru's personal shuttle, Thyfonian. The shuttle was intercepted by Corran Horn and Tycho Celchu, whose combined attack destroyed its shields and eradicated the craft with a proton torpedo. Isard was believed to have been killed in the explosion, but in fact she wasn't on the shuttle at all. Her communications had been from a remote sight, and she smuggled herself off-planet disguised as a refugee and went into hiding to recover from her losses. She made her way to General Arnothian's facility and took control of his TIE Defender operation. Meanwhile, the clone Isard thought she had killed had allied itself with Prince-Admiral Krennel, and worked with him to bring down Rogue Squadron and the New Republic by trying to re-open the division between human and non-human races. The clone also kept a close watch on the prisoners of the Lusankya, collecting them all while Grand Admiral Thrawn ruled the Empire and eventually using them as bait for a trap meant to catch Rogue Squadron. Their plans were thwarted by the real Ysanne Isard, who rescued Rogue Squadron from Corvis Minor Five with the help of Colonel Vessery and convinced them to help her destroy the clone and Krennel. While Krennel was killed in the space battle over Ciutric, Isard's clone tried to escape using the same tactic that the real Isard used to escape from Thyferra. However, Wedge Antilles recognized the scheme and destroyed the shuttle - piloted by Colonel Lorrir - while triangulating the clone's position by backtracking her communcations signal. He launched a pair of concussion missiles at her location, destroying it and the clone. The real Isard claimed to want nothing but peace, but really wanted to regain command of the Lusankya, which was being refitted at the Bilbringi shipyards. However, her motives were discovered by Booster Terrik, his daughter Mirax, and Iella Wessiri, and a New Republic task force was dispatched to prevent her from stealing it. In a struggle within the huge ship, Ysanne and Iella confronted each other. After Isard threw every taunt and tactic at Iella, Iella responded by shooting her dead, once and for all.

Isced
This tribe of Ugnaughts lived on Cloud City, during the years surrounding the Galactic Civil War. The Botruts were one of the first three groups purchased by Ecclessis Figg, who offered the Ugnaughts their freedom in exchange for completing the construction of the floating city. Note that The New Essential Guide to Alien Species indicates that the three tribes were not necessarily purchased by Figg, but forced to travel to Bespin to hear his offer. The Isceds were looked down upon by the Botrut and Irden trbies because of their malicious sense of humor. (GG2, MTS, NEGA)

Iscera
This planet was the first place Fable Astin and the Harrier infiltration team stopped, after the disastrous success of their mission to Nysza III. In the main Iscerian spaceport, Fable met Jaalib Brandl. The planet's atmosphere was almost continually wracked by electrical storms, which cause unpredictable reactions within the volatile gases the fill its upper levels. (SWJ8)

ISD-72x
This deflector shield generator dome was developed by Kuat Drive Yards, in an effort to reduce the need for secondary equipment on its Imperial-class Star Destroyers. The ISD-72x was designed to replace the Om-Thaim generators used on early versions of the Star Destroyer, and was virtually indistinguishable from the Om-Thaim model. A larger version of the ISD-72x was developed for use aboard the Super-class Star Destroyers. (EGW)

Isde Naha
This planet was located on the rimward edge of the Yarith Sector of the galaxy, where the Corellian Trade Spine exited the Anoat Sector for the far reaches of the Outer Rim Territories. It was also the capital world of Yarith Sector. An urbanized world, Isde Naha was known as a no-nonsense planet with strict regulations, including a zero-tolerance for smugglers. (WOA33)

Iselen, Dalton
This man was one of the managing partners of the Naescorcom consortium, during the final years of the Old Republic. When it was learned that the Believers were producing a virus that could kill Caarites in the floating city of Ipsus, Iselen was forced to work with Nirama to ensure the safety of his facilities there. Thus, Iselen was quite happy when Nirama hired a group of freelance agents to resolve the situation, allowing him to maintain operations on Ipsus with minimal interruption. (MCT2)

Isen
This yellow star was the central body of the Isen System. (PG1)

Isen
This gas giant was the only planet in the Isen System. It had six natural satellites, of which one - Isen IV - was inhabitted. The system was still in its birth stage, and the primary star Isen continues to give off large amounts of radiation. This, coupled with the system's three asteroid belts, makes navigation through the Isen System extremely difficult. (PG1)

Isen IV
This airless, rocky planetoid was the fourth of six moons orbiting the gas giant Isen. A small pirate base had been established on its bleak surface by the Void Demons, and the underground tunnels were inhabited by a colony of Morvaks. The planetoid makes a full revolution around its sun once every 740 standard days. (PG1)

Ishanna I
This was the first planet in the Ishanna System. It was a barren, searing ball of rock with two moons. (SWJ9)

Ishanna II
This was the second planet in the Ishanna System. A barren world with no natural atmosphere, Ishanna II was important for its mineral deposits, which were mined by various independent companies. It had three moons. (SWJ9)

Ishanna V
This planet, the fifth in the Ishanna System, was an uninhabitable world with five natural satellites. Its mineral resources have been mined by various independent corporations located on Rabaan. (SWJ9)

Ishedur, Keroth
This human noble stumbled upon his connection to the Dark Side of the Force as a young man, but kept it to himself as much as possible. Many years before the onset of the Clone Wars, he met up with Deel De, and together they explored the depths of their powers. Deel De eventually set out on her own, leaving Keroth behind. (UA)

This Gamorrean was employed by Thaddeus Ross to serve as the liaison to a group of Elomin, to whom Ross and Trep Winterrs had tried to sell protection services. (SWJ15)

Isher, Lungrolph
This Krish was a noted expert in the martial art of teras kasi, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. (HNN5)

Ishi Tib
An amphibious, humanoid alien race characterized by their huge eyes and beak-like mouths, the Ishi Tib were native to the planet Tibrin. They inhabited Tibrin's oceans, and spent most of their lives under the water. Their thick, green skin helped to retain moisture, making the Ishi Tib fairly adaptable in other environments. However, an Ishi Tib who lived away from the water must soak in a briny seawater bath every thirty hours or so in order to maintain their skin's moisture levels and to keep their lungs moist.

The Ishi Tib race was descended from a species of bony fish that had large, highly-developed, fluke-like fins. They escaped predation by leaving the ocean and staying on land for short periods of time, and natural selection allowed the development of arms, legs, and lungs. Reproduction among the Ishi Tib was considered a necessary part of life, although marriage was unheard of in their society. Males and females were paired together as needed by a school of Ishi Tib, and the fertilized eggs were kept safe in hatcheries. Thus, no Ishi Tib individual knew who their parents were.

As a species, they were highly sought after as efficient organizers. They were also noted for their tenacity when threatened, which stood in stark contrast to their otherwise subdued nature. The desire to kill another being was often suppressed, but an individual Ishi Tib was not above cannibalizing an opponent with sufficient provocation.

The Ishi Tib eventually built cities upon the coral reefs of Tibrin's oceans, taking great care so as not to disrupt the delicate environmental balances. This made them a valuable resource for the Galactic Alliance in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, as their skills in restoring and maintaining their environment were needed to help those planets that were devastated during the fighting. (GG4, CCG7, NEGA)

Ishi Tib Coral Scepter
Created by the Ishi Tib race of the planet Tibrin, and exported to the rest of the galaxy by Tirbin Kish'nol, this staff resembled an ornate scepter at first glance. When activated, the scepter emitted a high-power jet of water in which were propelled razor-sharp coral pellets. The pellets themselves were coated with adhesive that helped them lodge inside a target, creating further physical trauma. The Ishi Tib used these scepters to hunt their prey. (GFT)

Ishi Tib-cracked Coconut
This was a form of dried fruit that was developed by Ishi Tib chefs on their homeworld of Tibrin. The secret process of cracking open the coconut was believed to add to the flavor and texture of the dried fruit. (OWS)

I'Shibix, Quarlo
This swarthy human served Mon Tondievz as the mine supervisor of the nova crystal mines on Krann. He worked with an all-Kluuzot mining crew, a work environment he claimed to have devised all by himself. He supposedly defected from Imperial service after the Battle of Endor, severing the nova crystal supply lines and turning them over to the New Republic. In fact, Quarlo was working with Vanel to make sure the Empire was able to enslave the Kluuzot and retake the nova crystal mines. On the side, Quarlo and his mining crew were also involved in the illegal trafficking of the deadly spice eldratz. Quarlo was using a portion of the eldratz to addict the Kluuzot, offering to suuply their fixes only if they worked in the mines. He was apprehended by New Republic agent s, but could not be brought to justice before the Kluuzot took him away. His fate was unknown. (TSK)

Ish'ka
This was a Yuuzhan Vong swear word, used to indicate one's displeasure with a situation. (FH3)

Ishkik Caverns
Located on the planet Cularin, this maze of underground caves and tunnels was discovered by a work team that was building a platform city in a great valley. The caverns extended for several kilometers beneath the planet's surface, and connected the valley with mountains some distance away. The caverns, while interesting, were left largely unexplored until the Tarasin Revolt, when the Tarasin decided to use the caverns as living areas. Three full irstats made their homes in the caverns, storing weapons in hidden caves to help the struggle against the humans. (LFC)

Ishori
This race of sentients was native to the planet Isht, which was part of the New Republic. Shortly before the revelation of the Bothan involvement in the destruction of Caamas, the Ishori were involved in a minor dispute with the Diamala over shipping security. The Diamals didn't trust the Ishori patrols that escorted their transports into Ishori ports, while the Ishoru didn't want armed Diamala ships in their systems. Han Solo and Luke Skywalker tried to mediate the dispute, but were unable to bring about a solution before the two races polarized their hatred around the Caamas Incident. As a race, the Ishori were very excitable, and tend get agitated when confronted. They also have a martial society, with many of their laws based on the tenets of battle. (SOP, VOF)

Isht
This planet was the homeworld of the Ishori race. (VOF)

Ish'tay
This Force-sensitive Ithorian spent much of his career on the planet Caamas, working to restore the planet's natural environment. He discovered the presence of an ancient Ithorian herdship, which had crashed into Caamas many generations before, and investigated the possibility that his own people might have created the original forests of the planet. (WOTC, CCW)

Isibray
This being served the naval forces of the Grand Army of the Republic as a Commander. During the height of the Clone Wars, Isibray was in command of the Venator-class Star Destroyer Pioneer, serving under Admiral Wullf Yularen and Jedi General Anakin Skywalker. (CWWS)

Isilia
This freighter was owned an operated by Adriav Kavos. Kavos was forced to land the ship on the planet Joralla, during an attempt to sell a datadisk containing secret information on the Alliance. It was armed with a pair of laser cannons, and could transport up to four passengers and 100 metric tons of cargo. (PG1)

Isiring
This ore-rich mining world was located among the Cassandran Worlds, in the Outer Rim Territories. After the Empire split the Cassandran Worlds apart, Isiring became the capital world of the Tendrannan Sector. (GORW)

Isis
This crystalline planet was located in a moderately dense region of the Ivax Nebula, found in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy. Isis was the site of an Alliance starfighter construction facility during the Galactic Civil War. The planet was the homeworld of the Gutretee, a race of crystalline humanoids. It was located beyond the fringe of Imperial space, and was first explored by an Alderaanian scouting expedition. Bail Organa kept the planet's location a secret, fearing that Palpatine's growing wrath against Old Republic supporters would require desparate measures. When his fears were realized, Organa began hiding the families of prominent Republic supporters on Isis. The newcomers with met with gruff acceptance by most Gutretee, and a cooperation between them grew into the starfighter facility. The planet itself was a huge world, covered with translucent mountains and refractive spires. It was nearly discovered by Imperial forces when the crew of the Imperial survey vessel Wanderer crashed on the planet. They tried to escape back to the Imperial base on Miser by hijacking the Handree, but were intercepted by Alliance agents. (RASB, IC, WOA33)

Isis
This female Imperial Governor wanted Boba Fett to capture Feldrall Okor. When she balked at his price for capturing the pirate, Boba Fett armed a thermal detonator and threatened to blow up her palace if she didn't comply. She eventually gave in, and paid Fett's price. (EGC)

Isk
This ninth Aurebesh symbol, and it stood for the Basic letter "i". (IR, SWM)

Iskaayuma
This city was located at the end of the Sika Peninsula, on the planet Rodia. Iskaayuma was considered the capital of the planet at the height of the Galactic Civil War, primarily because it was the enclave of the ruling Chattza clan. It was second in size only to Equator city, but was poorly designed and failed to provide anything in the way of growth potential. (SPG)

Iskadrell
This was the primary planet in the Iskallon System, and the homeworld of the Iskalloni race. (TSK)

Iskalloni
Little was known of this alien race, which hails from the Iskallon System. What was known was that they were a humanoid race that implanted cybernetic devices to assist their strange physiology. These implants, however, were not perfect, and produced a toxic waste that was deadly to most carbon-based lifeforms. This toxic waste was also found in their heavy machinery, including starships and hyperdrives, which cleaning an Iskalloni hyperdrive a perilous duty. Most Iskalloni had hairless, blue-tinted skin, a coloration that resulted from the addition of mutagen to their system. The mutagen allowed the Iskalloni to accept the bio-technical implants and survive. Their eyes were deeply recessed in their skulls, and had dark, black irises. The Iskalloni remained apart from the rest of the galaxy for several millennia, after several attempts to establish peaceful relations fell through. During the height of the New Order, the Iskalloni returned to known space, and made contact with Imperial agents. While the Empire thought it had gained a valuable ally, the Iskalloni showed no preference in enslaving humans, taking the Imperial agents as well as Alliance personnel in their initial attacks. The Iskalloni sought to enslave the entire human race, but couldn't determine the best place to begin their assault. Eventually, with the help of Wertram Farege, they captured a New Republic starship with the planetary coordinates of several major worlds, and launched their assault. However, the crew of the starship was able to disable the Iskalloni ship and strand the aliens in theirown galaxy. (TSK, GG12)

Iskalon
This planet was the homeworld of a race of water-breathing humanoids known as Iskalonians. The planet itself had no natural land formations. When the Iskalonians joined the Alliance, they erected great cities on the ocean floor. These cities were named for the city of Pavillion, the first and largest of the cities, and were built to allow the air-breathing races of the Alliance to live with the Iskalonians. However, after the Imperial base on Gamandar destroyed the city of pavillion, the Iskalonians forbade any landing by air-breathing races. This mandate was not recognized by the Nagai, however, who tried to subjugate Iskalon shortly after the Battle of Endor. (MC74, MC102)

Iskalon Effect
This was the term used by the Iskalonians to describe the massive tidal waves that crashed through the oceans of Iskalon. Because of the biology and structure of the ocean, these tidal waves formed rapidly and grew to massive proportions. (MC74)

Iskalonian
Although many considered the Iskalonians a single race with unique sub-species, the name Iskalonian actually referred to an alliance of intelligent, aquatic races that included several distinct races, each of which inhabited a different planet. There were six major aquatic species - the rare Stribers of Julsujod III, the Inleshat of Drexel II, the Chuhkyvi of Aquaris, the Frid of Mackar, the Graygl of Danalbeth, and the Nejma of Eriscot - as well as eleven other, less-known species. The Inleshat were the most dominant of the Iskalonians, who called their collective alliance The School, although all peoples united as Iskalonians vowed to live in harmony with others and with nature. (EGA, GMR1)

Iskalonian
This was the common language used among all the races that made up The School. (GMR1)

Iskalonian
A race of water-breathing humanoids native to the planet Iskalon, these creatures have gills for breathing, large pointed ears, and small tendrils that flow from the corners of their mouths. They were known for their carefree, peaceful outlook on life, and they lacked any concept of privacy or shyness. It was assumed that an individual would only listen into another conversation if they had an interest in it, but any individual could join a discussion at any time. During the period following the Battle of Hoth, the Iskalonians were active members of the Alliance, having witnessed the Imperial atrocities on Telfrey and Gamandar. However, when Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa arrived on the planet, their presence attracted the notice of Imperial Admiral Tower. In his desire to earn a promotion and fame, he tried to destroy all life on Iskalon in an effort to kill the Alliance leaders. The entire city of Pavillion was destroyed, and a great number of Iskalonians lost their lives in the massive tidal wave created by Tower's missile. Although the Iskalonians agreed with the Alliance's motivations, the survivors decided to go into hiding and forbade the Alliance from returning to Iskalon. (MC74, MC76)

Iskalonian Tartar Sauce
This unusual sauce was created by Dexter Jettster, and was featured in several seafood dishes that were on the menu at Dex's Diner, during the final years of the Old Republic. The recipe for this sauce was a closely-guarded secret. (OWS)

Isk-ar
One of the six Tiss'shar races, the Isk-ar were albino individuals with ghostly, translucent scales which lacked any sort of markings. (UANT)

Isken, Bran
This man was a native of the planet Corellia, but was born on a starship to a father who worked as a smuggler. He grew up working with the ship's systems, and could repair them all at an early age. He eventually found work as a mechanic, and was introduced to Klis Joo when he was asked to repair a Duros starship. The Jedi Knight remembered his skills with starships, and invited him to come to work at the spaceport facility on Almas. Bran agreed, and became one of the best mechanics in Forard. He was a distinguished man of 60 at the time of the Battle of Naboo, and was distinguished by his cybernetic eye. (LFC)

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

Iskraker, Helm
This small-time criminal was someone who bounty hunters consider to be "pin money". Iskraker was a humanoid with rolling layers of gold-colored skin which shimmered as it moved. As his skin shifted against itself, it sloughed off golden flakes. He traveled the galaxy in his own ship, the Erratic Orbit. Iskraker was known as a bumbler, and virtually every operation he started ended in failure. He worked tirelessly to improve his standing within the criminal underworld, and often blamed his mistakes on his friend Widget. When Doctor Vreen hired Iskraker to break into SecuriCo and steal the codes to open the locks to Cloud City's computer core, Iskraker managed to obtain the plans without being caught. His theft was discovered, though the authorities of SecuriCo could never trace him. (GG9, CCC)

Island Beast
This was a species of huge, kilometer-long creature native to the planet Taloraan. The island beast floats in the planet's atmosphere. It had a huge body cavity which was inhabitable, and they were used by the Wind Raiders as living quarters. (SWJ5)

Ismaren, Irek
This young man was Roganda Ismaren's son, by Sarcev Quest. Irek's youthful abilities with the Force were augmented by his mother when she had Nasdra Magrody implant a subelectronic converter chip in his brain. This chip allowed Irek to become educated quicker, both from a practical standpoint as well as with the Force. The subelectronic converter chip was placed in his brain at the age of five. By age seven, he began formal training in the Force. At thirteen, he could easily qualify for an advanced degree in a number of physical sciences, if he so chose. However, he had been brought up this way for one purpose: to recover the derelict Eye of Palpatine by using his connection to the Force to remotely activate the ship's onboard systems. Roganda realized, from her association with Palpatine, that only a mind capable of interfacing the Force with the ship would be able to reactivate it. So, she chose her own son to be the instrument of her success. She hoped that his ability to control mechanical things with the Force would allow him to call the Eye of Palpatine to Belsavis and control it. Irek's weakness, though, was that he could only control objects if he knew their basic schematics, which he committed to memory. If the schematics were to change, even fundamentally, he couldn't manipulate an object. When the Eye of Palpatine was destroyed, Irek managed to escape with his mother, and was not seen again. In his weakend state, Irek was unable to resist when his mother brought him to Coruscant. There, she began altering his body and mind, creating a huge, Force-wielding humunculous. His bones and muscles were forced to continue growing long past the point of maturity, giving him incredible height and mass. The AI implant placed in his brain was further enhanced, allowing him to have a deep-seated inner focus that provided a strong connection to the Dark Side of the Force. A collection of lightsabers were implanted in his body - at the wrists, knees, and shoulders - and hardwired into the implant for greater control. His weapons training was handled by an unknown Dark Jedi hired by Roganda. At some point in the training, Irek became angry with the Dark Jedi and killed him in a duel, but not before the taking a lightsaber thrust through the brain. Roganda was forced to begin a second series of transformations, this time to try and restore Irek's mind retrieve him from brain death. Before the entire transformation was complete, however, Irek broke free. Without memories or a basic understanding of what had happened to him, Irek killed his mother and fled into the depths of Coruscant's undercity. (COJ, GMR5, DSSB, EL2, NEGD)

Ismaren, Lagan
One of Nichos Marr's childhood friends, they tried to find the kretch in Plett's Well. He was Roganda's brother, and was killed by Imperial Inquisitor Ameesa Darys as Roganda was forced to watch. (COJ, GMR5)

Ismaren, Roganda
One of Emperor Palpatine's concubines and a member of the secret society known as the Emperor's Hands, Roganda Ismaren used her feminine wiles to extract information from the Emperor's enemies, during the height of the New Order. As a child, she was among the many Jedi offspring who were shipped off into hiding on Belsavis, in the wake of the Clone Wars. However, she was discovered on Belsavis by Imperial Inquisitor Ameesa Darys. She was somewhat Force-sensitive, and was one of the children in Plett's Well. Her Force-sensitivity earned her the notice of Darys, who then forced her to watch as Darys killed her brother Lagan. Roganda vowed to accumulate enough personal power to prevent her own death, and learned to use her femininity to attain more power. The fact that Roganda was sensitive to the Force earned her the chance to serve as one of Palpatine's Emperor's Hands, much like Mara Jade.

Leia Organa Solo once saw Roganda on Coruscant, during her first Senatorial meeting. Later, in the wake of the Battle of Endor, Leia caught up with her in Plawal, on Belsavis. Roganda told Leia that she had been hiding on Belsavis for seven years, fleeing the anti-Palpatine sentiments sweeping the galaxy. Leia recognized her pale, white skin and dark hair. All the while, though, Roganda was hiding the plot to recover the Eye of Palpatine by having implanting a Force-augmenting AI chip developed by Nasdra Magrody into her son, Irek. Roganda's real reason for being on Belsavis was to hide her son's training from prying eyes. Roganda used her Imperial contacts for funding, and established their residence on Belsavis, where the Eye of Palpatine was programmed to attack first.

She then spent main months training Irek about the schematics and operational procedures necessary to take control of the Eye of Palpatine, in hopes of using the ship to retake the galaxy from the New Republic. Unfortunately, she hadn't planned on Luke Skywalker infiltrating the huge ship and reviving the spirit of Callista Ming, who helped Luke destroy the ship from within. Roganda and Irek managed to escape the destruction, and they fled back to Coruscant. There, in a research lab established in the Bluenek Section of the city, Roganda began an aggressive experiment that altered Irek's body and mind.

Hoping to defeat the New Republic once and for all, Roganda hoped to create a Force-wielding humunculous from Irek's youthful body. She kept the boy hidden in the labs, using techniques which accelerated his growth and deepened his connection to the Dark Side of the Force. She located a fellow Dark Jedi to help train Irek, and used captive ysalamiri to hide the incredible amounts of Force energy being generated in the lab, in an effort to avoid detection by the New Republic. Unfortunately for Roganda, Irek became self-aware of his new state and broke free of the bonds which help him. The final stages of Roganda's alterations were not complete, leaving Irek without memories or instructions, just a deep-seated command of the Dark Side. In a rage, Irek destroyed much of the laboratory and killed Roganda before fleeing unto the undercity of Coruscant. (COJ, GMR5, EL2, EGF)

Isnr
This was a common name among Cerean females. Unlike their male counterparts, Cerean females use a single name unless they became a bond-wife. In this case, a female will take on their husband's grandfather's name for official matters. The name Isnr came from a class of brightly-colored birds which were native to the planet Cerea. (GCG)

Isnr
This was a pretty flower which was native to the planet Cerea. (GCG)

ISO
An acronym meaning "independent ship owner." (SE)

Isolation Helmet
This was a specialized form of headgear that was designed for private communications. Smaller than the standard pilot's helmet, an isolation helmet allowed an individual to listen to a certain communications frequency without being overheard by other beings in the area. The isolation helmet had to be programmed to receive specific transmission frequency, and allowed the user to listen to focus on the sounds and words that were being transmitted over it. (LF7)

Isolationist Wookiees
This was the name given to those Wookiees who chose to abandon their cities and live in compounds hidden in the jungles of the homeworld of Kashyyyk, after the Empire took control of the planet and turned over much of its policing to Trandoshan slavers. These Wookiees considered almost any offworlder to be a supporter of either the Empire or the Trandoshans - or worse, both - and were quick to judge. (SWGAL)

Isolde
This purple-haired woman was a known criminal who was recruited by Lando Calrissian to assist in stopping a group of pirates who were using TIE Interceptors to ambush supply convoys. She objected to Lando's use of Air Marshall Von Asch's expertise in the mission, but went along with his judgment. Note that Isolde was also referred to as Siro in Star Wars Tales #5. After engaging the pirates on Radix, the New Republic forces learned that they had been duped by Captain Kine. In the firefight that ensued, Von Asch took a killing shot from Kine which was meant for Isolde, allowing Isolde to shoot Kine dead. With his dying words, Von Asch explained that he had to die in order for Isolde to live and fulfill her destiny. Isolde managed to keep Von Asch alive long enough for medical help to arrive, and Von Asch eventually survived. (T5)

Isolder
The younger son of the Hapan Queen Mother, Isolder held the title of Chume'da - which roughly translated into Basic as "Prince" - at the time when Leia Organa petitioned the Hapans for assistance in defeating Warlord Zsinj, several years after the Battle of Endor. He had been named Chume'da because his older brother, Kalen, was murdered by a privateer named Harravan. It was later revealed that Kalen had been assassinated by their mother, Ta'a Chume, in an effort to remove him from the line of succession.

The blonde-haired Isolder caught a glimpse of Princess Leia Organa when she arrived on Hapes to form an alliance with the Hapans, and fell in love with her. He proposed to his mother that a marriage to her would help the Hapans prosper, and Ta'a Chume pretended to agree. When a Hapan delegation arrived on Coruscant to discuss an alliance with the New Republic, they presented Leia with sixty-three gifts, one from each of the worlds in the Hapes Cluster. The sixty-third gift was Prince Isolder, who had arranged to go to Coruscant, where he proposed marriage. Leia stalled the marriage, and was given more time to decide when Han Solo won Dathomir in a sabacc match.

Han kidnapped Leia and took her to Dathomir, and Isolder and Luke Skywalker followed to rescue her. While on Dathomir, Isolder met Teneniel Djo and realized that he loved her more than Leia. He also learned of his mother's treacherous attempt to have Leia killed. In an effort to break the unsavory traditions he mother adhered to, Isolder took Teneniel as his bride.

Skywalker had foreseen that Isolder and Teneniel would give birth to a daughter who was strong in the Force, a prophecy that was later fulfilled with the birth of Tenel Ka. When Isolder's mother stepped down, Teneniel Djo became the Queen Mother of Hapes, and Isolder became her king. They retired to their home on Hapes, in an effort to raise their daughter and bring peace to the Hapes Consortium.

The Hapans remained outside galactic politics for several years, until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Then, Leia Organa Solo once again traveled to the Hapes Cluster in hopes of convincing the Hapans to join the fight against the alien invaders. The Hapes Consortium was divided on whether to support the New Republic, until Isolder slapped Beed Thane for insulting Leia. This led to an unusual duel in which the winner would control the vote. Thane was arrogant but relatively untrained, and Isolder was able to outlast him. The Hapes Cluster joined the New Republic in an effort to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong, and Isolder himself led the fleet from the Song of War.

However, as the combined fleet made to defend Corellia, it was discovered that the Yuuzhan Vong were actually attacking Fondor. The fleet made emergency maneuvers to reach Fondor, but found the shipyards utterly destroyed. The Hapans and the New Republic forces opened fire on the Yuuzhan Vong armada, but all hostilities were ceased when a blast from Centerpoint Station ripped through the Fondor System. In addition to wiping out the Yuuzhan Vong, the blast decimated the Hapan fleet. Isolder and his crew aboard the Song of War were just outside the blast, and survived to limp back to the Hapes Cluster.

Once home, Isolder discovered that Teneniel Djo had miscarried their second child, and that she had fallen into a deep despair. With the Hapan people clamoring for strong leadership, Isolder was forced to consider an unusual request from his mother: divorce Teneniel Djo and marry Jaina Solo. This plan was ultimately abandoned when the former Queen Mother's treachery in poisoning Teneniel Djo was revealed. Isolder remained loyal to his wife and family, and was happy to allow Tenel Ka to assume the role of Queen Mother. For his own part, Isolder remained a member of the Hapan Royal Guard, training soldiers to protect his daughter and any heir she might bring to the family.

He assumed a position of leadership within the Hapan Home Fleet, and reluctantly agreed to support the Galactic Alliance during its defense of the planet Kuat. However, in agreement with his daughter's orders, Isolder ordered his fleets to back out of the conflict after Tenel Ka decided that Jacen had become too dangerous. The fleet returned to Hapes, where Isolder watched with fatherly concern as Tenel Ka struggled to remain neutral in the conflict. After the Second Battle of Fondor, Tenel Ka asked Isolder to ensure that Ben Skywalker made it safely to the new Jedi base on Shedu Maad. He asked Tenel Ka's cousins, Trista and Taryn, to recover Ben on Nova Station, and was to meet them near the Carida Nebula in his starcutter, the Beam Racer. However, Tahiri Veila had been tracking Ben, and managed to intervene. Because Ben had already refused to divulge information about the Jedi base, Tahiri used the tractor beams on the Anakin Solo to capture Isolder's ship, hoping that he could provide the location.

Prince Isolder spent many days in the prison section of the ship, but was never interrogated or even questioned, until Darth Caedus himself arrived at his cell. Caedus's arrival came during his attempt to destroy the Jedi Order's base in the Transitory Mists, and Isolder believed that his interrogation had finally come. Therefore, he was surprised when Caedus explained that he was letting Isolder and his crew go free, once the battle was over. Isolder's freedom was only guaranteed if he removed himself from the battle zone, since Caedus and his technicians had rigged the Beam Racer to explode if it was shot just once. Isolder refused, knowing that his blood samples might be used to create a nanokiller that would destroy his daughter and her family. In anger, Darth Caedus drew upon the Force and snapped Isolder's neck, and the Prince died before his body hit the floor. Caedus then ordered the Beam Racer to be destroyed with all hands aboard.

Isomerases Enzyme
This naturally-occurring enymatic compound was used by geneticists and biologists to affect the rate at which cloned or cultured cells were grown in the laboratory. By inserting isomerases enzymes of differing quality at different times during embryonic development, as well as by adjusting the temperate at which the embryo was growing, a scientist could cause certain genes to activate, changing the cellular encoding of the growing creature and altering its attributes. (SWGAL)

Ison
This white dwarf star was the central body in the Ison System, located in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy. The star was orbited by a series of asteroid belts that made travel through the system treacherous. Despite this, explorers placed a hyperspace beacon on the outskirts of the system, which served as the rimward entry point for the Ison Corridor. However, the rubble the choked the system was masked by a growing cloud of gas, and it was believed that this combination of natural occurrances would eventually shut down the Ison Corridor. (WOA33)

Ison Corridor
This hyperspace pathway connected a backwater group of planets in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy to the main Corellian Trade Spine. The Ison Corridor began at the planet Varonat and passing through Bespin, Anoat, and Hoth, before terminating in the Ison System. It took about fourteen hours to jump between each of these systems along the Corridor. It was located just off the Corellian Trade Spine, a much more profitable and understood hyperspace pathway which drew much of the Corridor's potential traffic. However, the Ison Corridor avoided the heart of the Ivax Nebula, making it marginally safer to travel. Scientists believed that the coalescing gases and debris in the Ison System would eventually shut off the rimward end of the Ison Corridor, rendering the travel route obsolete. Note that the Rebellion Era Sourcebook indicates that Anoat and Ison were the terminal systems along the Ison Corridor, and that Bespin was the midpoint. (DFR, GG2, SWJ1, RESB, WOA33, GORW)

Ison System
This planetary system was located at the opposite end of the Ison Corridor from the Bespin System. Much of the system was choked with asteroids, and the only sizeable body in the system was the white dwarf star at its center. (GG2, WOA33)

Ison Trade Corridor
This was another name for the Ison Corridor. (SSOG)

Isothane
This alcoholic beverage was often served with water and ice. (MA)

Isoto, Lon
This Imperial Admiral was regarded as a traitor for his part in the Battle of Brentaal. He was known to both the Empire he served the New Republic he opposed as an ineffectual leader, often called "Isoto the Indecisive" in closed quarters, but rose to power through the support of the members of the Cabal. Isoto was more interested in his pleasure than the Empire, and used his position to obtain the things he desired most. He was in command of the Imperial base near Vuultin at the time of Emperor Palpatine's death at Endor, and was allowed to remain in command of the base when Sate Pestage rose to power. Ysanne Isard and Pestage planned to draw the New Republic's forces to Brentaal IV, hoping to prove the Cabal was unable to control the moon, let alone the Empire. Meanwhile, Isoto languished in his fortress, surrounded by women and - if rumors were true - enjoying glitterstim spice. He was shot and killed by one of his concubines, shortly after being order by Ysanne Isard to evacuate Brentaal. The concubine was actually working for Isard as part of Project Ambition. (XWES, IR, HXW)

According to Imperial astrogation maps, this was the name given to third quadrant of the Dantooine System. Little was known of the history of this area of space. (SWGAL)

Iss, Lafek
This bounty hunter was known for his wide range of skills, from electronics and computer programming to droid programming and anti-surveillance. He was a member of the Salaktori Hunters Guild, and worked from a base in Feris City during the Galactic Civil War. (GG10)

Issarga
A planet which was the site of a huge space station devoted to gambling and trade. (RPG)

Issen
This Imperial Navy Ensign served under Lieutenant Carsa aboard the Lusankya during the Battle of Thyferra. (BW)

Issh
This Shyriiwook word was used as the prefix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "black", "dangerous", or "deep", and could be combined with one or more suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)

Isshaddik
This male Wookiee was the mate of Dewlannamapia. He was exiled from Kashyyyk for a crime Dewlanna never explained, and the two of them ended up working for Garris Shrike. He was killed a year later on a smuggling run to Nar Hekka. (TPS)

Issham Mining Corporation
This sham corporation was actually a front used by the Alliance to establish a base on the planet Virmeude. Issham purchased the mining rights to the planet, then established the Virmeude Starport. In reality, the Alliance used Virmeude as one of the primary posts from which it gathered intelligence from the Core Worlds during the Galactic Civil War. The spaceport also served as a haven and base of operations for pirates and smugglers who were sympathetic to the Alliance. IMC appeared to outside interests as a corporation making a modest profit from its operations on Virmeude, but the Alliance was careful to doctor its books accordingly. All mining shipments brought in by privateers was listed as profit, and all mining and support resources were ordered as if they were to be used in a mining installation. (PP)

Issk, Bartell
A sewer technician in Selkren, on Demophon, Issk aided a group of Alliance operatives in determining the reasons behind Imperial activity on the planet. (SN)

Isskoh
This was one of the more common names used by Trandoshan hunters. Like most Trandoshan names, it was reserved for males, but could be adopted by those rare females who became hunters. In the Trandoshan language, the name meant "hunts in his sleep", and referred to the natural talents of a hunter. (GCG)

Issor
This Outer Rim waterworld was the homeworld of the Issori and Odenji races. It was a prosperous world of high technology and commerce, located in the Trulalis System. (SWJ4, SWJ13)

Issori
This was the native language of the Issori race. (GMR9)

Issori
This friendly alien race was native to the planet Issor. They had green-scaled skin and a docile though unemotional nature, and were not generally outgoing. They rarely left the oceans of Issor, as the planet had very little landmass. However, they developed an advanced technology that helped them and their cousins, the Odenji, colonize many of their neighboring planets. Several centuries before the Battle of Yavin, the Odenji were nearly wiped out by the melanncho, a disease which had little effect on the Issori. The females of the species produced eggs, which they tended until they hatched. The eggs were fertilized through the use of a sperm packet produced by the males. Each young Issori was placed into a certain caste upon its birth, depending on its parents. The caste of the newborn Issori was the same as that of the egg-laying female. The caste of the male fertilizer determined the newborn's position within its caste and the family and political alliances it shared. Eggs were often shared among members of the noble castes from distant nations in arranged ceremonies, to provide deeper alliances and maintain genetic diversity. Nobles sometimes bred with common caste members, but only from the same nation. Issori names reflected their breeding, and had three parts. The first part was based on the father's side of the family, and indicated what type of a union the child came from. The second name was generally that of the child's mother's family. The last name was a unique name given to the offspring. Both the first and third names were determined using a formula in order to give the most auspicious numerical values to the letters of the offspring's name. (SWJ13, IR)

Issori Blowfish

Istee, Hedon
This moisture farmer lived on the planet Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War. (GQRG)

Istic II
This was the primary planet in the Istic System, which was located in the Teraab Sector of the galaxy. It orbited a young yellow-white star that bombarded the planet with heavy radiation. (TBSB, SWMW)

Istician
Classified by the Empire as subsentient, these creatures were native to the radiation-shrouded planet of Istic II. Because of the high levels of radiation in the environment, Isticians suffered from frequent genetic mutation, and had a variety of shapes, sizes, and colorations. The Imperial governor of the system welcomed hunters to take as many Isticians as they could, since they were considered a nuisance to the human settlers. (TBSB)

Isttu
This Ithorian city was located on the herdship Bazaar. It was the site of the Great Mother River Hotel, and was located on the banks of the Isttu Lake. It houses many wonderful shops and businesses. It perfectly recreates the illusion of a jungle village, until one looks up to see the dome that protects Isttu village from the vacuum of space. (GA)

Isttu Galactic Bank
This was the primary financial institution located aboard the Ithorian herdship Bazaar. (GA)

Isttu Lake
This body of water was maintained within the Dome of Mother Jungle on the Ithorian herdship Bazaar. (GA)

Istuvi, Dif
This man led the Bakuran faithful who embraced the Cosmic Balance during the planet's early history. He was generally credited with authoring the faith's most sacred text, the Fulcrum. In the text, he claimed that "the weight of the universe could balance on one rightly-placed atom." Istuvi later founde the order of the Zanazi. (TBSB, GORW)

Isu-Sim

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

It
This was a term used by many of the Ferals who lived beneath Coruscant's Galactic City to describe the World Brain that was installed on the planet by the Yuuzhan Vong. (LF3)

IT
This droid, a self-modified IT-series interrogation droid, was activated on the planet Coruscant some three years after the Battle of Endor. The IT unit was developed with the GwendoLyn Six processing, making it extremely fast and efficient in its processing of information. This gave IT an almost human reaction time, as well as an incredible level of artifical intelligence. After Coruscant fell to the New Republic in the wake of the Battle of Endor, the IT decided to hide out in the sublevels of the planet, biding its time and awaiting a chance to strike back. The IT employed a mixture of human and droid agents to carry out its bidding, which involved rallying the Underdwellers of Coruscant to rise up and defeat the fledgeling New Republic. IT's plans were thwarted when they were discovered by Chewbacca and his son, Lumpawarrump. Chewbacca managed to disable the IT, and his wife Mallatobuck destroyed it. (AFA)

IT-0
This Imperial IT-series interrogation droid was assigned to the labor colony on Kalist VI, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (SWEWW)

IT-0
A model of interrogation droid designed and manufactured by the Imperial Department of Military Research, the IT-0 was a spherical droid which moved about on a small repulsorlift engine. Its gloss-black surface was studded with a visual/sound sensor suite, a vocabulator, a laser scalpel, hypodermic injectors, power shears, and a grasping claw. The medical programming and knowledge database installed in the IT-0 was quite extensive, but as rarely used for humanitarian purposes. The basic design of the IT-series droids was created by the Imperial Security Bureau, and was designed to inspire fear in its victims. Indeed, even Grand Inquisitor Torbin wrote that the reputation of the IT-0 was more important that its various implements in the tome Stratagems of the Inquisitorius. Torbin's writings were direct and to the point: "Tell the suspect you have [an IT-0], and show it waiting in the wings. This alone will often elicit a confession." Many droid experts pointed out that the IT-0 bore a strong resemblance to the ancient G0-T0 series of administrator droids, and this resemblance brought on a kind of unconscious fear. Despite the fact that these droids were used almost exclusively during interrogations, IT-0 droids were exceptionally knowledgeable about medicine, physiology, and surgery. Of course, this expertise was often used to revive subjects that had died during their interrogation, so that they could be subjected to further torture. (MTS, DFRSB, BTM, EGD, NEGD)

IT-0 26
This interrogation droid served the Empire on board the Desolator. (IC)

IT-09
This interrogation droid was one of Riboga the Hutt's personal droids, when Riboga controlled the criminal activites of the Cularin System. When Riboga retired to Nal Hutta, IT-09 was acquired by SoroSuub Corporation and reprogrammed to be a quality control agent in its starfighter development facility on Edic Bar. (LFC)

IT-1
The series of interrogation droids that succeeded the IT-0. The IT-1 rolled on a large wheel, and was equipped with a wider array of interrogation and torture devices. (DSTC, NEGD)

IT-3
A newer model of Imperial interrogation droid, the Interrogator Droid Mark III was developed from the basic IT-0 platform. Unlike its predecessors, the IT-3 had the ability to speak the Basic language, and was given a soothingly, motherly voice to further disarm its victims. These droids were equipped with a laser scalpel, power shears, a sonic warbler, an electroshock probe, and three hypodermic syringes. Many of these droids were filled with a Sith toxin of unknown origin. (DFRSB, DSSB)

IT-31
This droid was acquired by Kodin, who planned to sell it from his shop on Nar Shaddaa, during the years following the Jedi Civil War. IT-31 was eventually purchased by The Exile, who had been asked by TT-32 to recover the droid. Hidden in IT-31's memory banks were the plans to a new droid shielding technology, which TT-32 wanted back before they could be exploited. (KOTOR2)

IT-904
This modified Imperial interrogation droid was purchased at an auction by Dej Vennor, for use in hunting down the bounties Vennor collected. IT-904 had extensive programming changes, and was given additional armaments. The droid's personality became highly sarcastic as a result, especially when dealing with organic lifeforms. (FOP)

ITAC Authority
This was one of the primary law enforcement agencies found on the planet Entralla, during the early years of the New Republic. They were forced to work with, and often bow to the wishes of, the Pentastar Patrol. (SWJ4)

Italbos
This planet was located in the depths of the known galaxy. During the era of the Mandalorian Wars, Italbos was situated beyond the region of space that was controlled by the Galactic Republic, and was outside the boundaries of Mandalorian-held sectors. The mining rights to the planet and its surrounding system were auctioned off to the highest bidder at the Metellos Exchange, although no being had every actually explored the system. Several months after the original sale, Marn Hierogryph devised a bold plan to scam the Metellos Exchange, claiming that the planet was the homeworld of a sentient race of beings who demanded their right to entertain bids for mining rights on their own terms. The plan backfired when Nunk Plaarvin discovered that Hierogryph was posing as Professor Gryphomarn. (KOR11)

Itani Nebula
This was a remote, gas-filled area of space. The Empire maintained a hidden research laboratory station deep within the Nebula, and posted an officer at Darknon Station to help protect its location. However, the lab was discovered by Alliance agents shortly after the Battle of Yavin, and was later destroyed by an Alliance strike force. (PSPG)

Itani Run
This hyperspace route took starships around the Itani Nebula. (PSPG)

Itani System
This star system was located on the edge of the Itani Nebula, at one end of the Itani Run. (PSPG)

Itch Mite
A small, parasitic insect which bites its host and leaves behind an itch-inducing chemical. (TFE)

Ithaqua Station
This was one of the primary outposts maintained by the Old Republic on the planet Toola, during height of the Clone Wars. In addition to its spaceport, Ithaqua Station contained a vast open market, where beings of hundreds of races and species exchanged credits for a variety of goods and services. (RIU)

Ith-Dor
This was one of the twin cities, along with Sarus-Dor, that served as the capital of the planet Typha-Dor. (JQ7)

ithh
This Ithorian surname was believed to mean "rich growing soil", according to historian who studied the Ithorian race. (GCG)

Ithh, Ror
This Ithorian barhopper was a frequent patron of the Outlander Club, during the years surrounding the Battle of Geonosis. (OWS)

Ithia
This female Kel Dor was one of the many Baran Do Sages who joined the guardians of knowledge in the Caverns of the Hidden One, during the years following the Swarm War. Ithia was present when Luke and Ben Skywalker arrived on Dorin, and assisted Ben when he arrived at the caverns. Ithia was also one of the handful of Sages who regularly practiced various forms of combat, and assisted Charsae Saal in maintaining the combat training of the Sages who chose to join the Hidden One. She was an agile fighter, choosing to match the movements of an aggressor and wait for an opening or a mistake, rather than attacking directly. When Ben Skywalker bested Charsae Saal in combat, as part of a wager between Luke and the Hidden One, Koro Ziil refused to allow open debate about the philosophy. Instead, he ordered that the Skywalkers be put to death, prompting Ithia and several other Kel Dors to voice their disapproval of the decision. When Luke again questioned the Hidden One's motives, Koro Ziil attacked Luke with a vengeance, assaulting him with Force lightning and a powerful Force-generated wind, but Luke withstood the attack. Koro Ziil was forced to cease the assault, and Ithia pleaded with him to let the Skywalkers go free. (FJ1)

Ithila
This Hapan woman was one of the many soldiers who served in the Hapan Navy during the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. During one battle, she was badly injured when the Battle Dragon on which she served was attacked by Yuuzhan Vong warships. An explosion on the deck caught the right side of her body, taking her out of the battle with several injuries. Unfortunately, she was allergic to bacta, and had to be repaired with regular surgical techniques that left the right side of her body badly scarred. Her appearance was considered hideous by other Hapan women, leaving Ithila with no choice but to set out on her own. She served as a pirate and smuggler for several years before signing on as the sensor officer aboard the Poison Moon. (LF7)

Ithmir
This Gamorrean ran the Thorip Norr cantina, located in Lola Curich on Lianna. (ML)

Ithona
This gas giant was the fifth planet of the Essesia System. It was orbited by five moons. (CCW)

Ithoon
This barren ball of rock was the sixth planet of the Centares System, located in the Mid Rim. It was orbited by three moons. (WOA32)

Ithor
Homeworld of the Ithorians and fourth world in the Ottega System (sometimes called the Ithorian System), Ithor was a world that was blockaded by the Empire during Palpatine's reign. When the Ithorians gave the Empire certain agricultural and cloning information, the Empire left them alone. Now, it was a tourist destination. The natives prefer to leave their environment as natural as possible, and have constructed huge, floating cities. It was located in the Ottega Sector in the Lesser Plooriod Cluster, in the Calaron Sector, and had many natural satellites. In what became known as the Battle of Ithor, all life on the planet was destroyed by a bacteria-filled bioweapon constructed by the Yuuzhan Vong. After Shedao Shai was killed on the planet's surface, Deign Lian unleashed the bacteria, which consumed all plant and animal life on Ithor's surface. The attack was meant to destroy the bafforr trees specifically, but the Yuuzhan Vong didn't care about any collateral damage. Adding insult to injury, the destruction of the Legacy of Torment by New Republic warships left the Yuuzhan Vong grand cruiser without drive systems. It crashed into the surface of Ithor, igniting the bacteria-filled slime and creating a series of planet-sweeping fires. Ithor burned like a star for several days before dying out, hanging in space like a dead cinder. Because of his part in Shedao Shai's death, Corran Horn was quickly targeted by the news agencies as "the man who destroyed Ithor." (SWSB, MTS, DA, REB, DTR, XWP)

Ithor Lady
This New Republic battle cruiser was stationed at Cybloc XII until it was dispatched to quell a pirate uprising near Budpock. The ship was drawn away from the planet of Nam Chorios by the manipulations of Seti Ashgad and Dzym. (POT)

Ithor Loman
This cantina, found in the spaceport near Rytal Prime, on Dayark, was where Talon Kaarde and Jutka met to discuss the attack on the Wild Kaarde, during Kaarde's search for Jorj Car'das. (VOF)

Ithor Wanderer
This Ithorian herdship made a regular path along the Hydian Way before returning to Ithor for Herd Meets. (GMR4)

Ithorese
This was the native language of the Ithorian race. It was a stereophonic language, with specific parts spoken out ogf each mouth. (LFC, UANT)

Ithorian
The Ithorians were a strange-looking, bipedal race of mammalians that was native of Ithor. The head of an Ithorian appeared to have been stretched and bent like a ladle. The eyes were set at opposite sides of the hammer-shaped top portion of the head, and their mouths were hidden below on the sloping part of the head. They also had two throats, so the speaking voice of an Ithorian came out with a weird stereo effect, and this biological phenomenon made their speech hard to understand. Note that The New Essential Guide to Alien Species indicates that Ithorians have four throats. This caused them a great deal of pain when the Empire discovered their planet, for the Imperial force's xenophobia was heightened by their inability to communicate with the Ithorians. They had wide, flat feet designed to help an individual keep their balance.

As a race, the Ithorians were known for their reverence for the natural environment, as evidenced by their development of floating city-ships that ensured no part of Ithor's surface was damaged by construction. They were also known as steady pacifists, and were considered some of the galaxy's most skilled diplomats.

A large portion of the Ithorian race was eradicated during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, when the planet's ecosystem was destroyed by a virulent bio-weapon. The few survivors were those Ithorians who were off-planet when the attack came, or those that managed to hide underground during the attack. These survivors struggled for many years, lacking a world to call home, until Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han, discovered the planet Borao. After months of politcal wrangling, the remaining Ithorians were allowed to relocate to Borao permanently. (E4, DA, SWSB, DTR, NEGA)

Ithorian
This was the native language of the Ithorian race. (EGP)

Ithorian Defender Armor
This specialized body armor was produced to comform to the body of an Ithorian individual. Classified as battle armor, the Ithorian Defender Armor provided protection from a wide range of attacks. (SWGAL)

Ithorian Delicacies
This food stand, located near Lake Isttu on the Ithorian herdship Bazaar, served up a wide range of vegatarian meals favored by Ithorians. While much of the food was edible to other races, it wasn't generally palatable. (GA)

Ithorian Dragon
This creature was the stuff of legend, especially to the Ithorian race. Stories of Ithorian dragons have been found in the earliest recorded histories of the Ithorians, whose ancestors claimed that the dragon was an intelligence beast that used special powers to hunt down its prey. Over time, many of these legends were discovered to be simply stories that were told to keep youngsters from disobeying their parents. However, the Ithorian dragon itself was an actual creature, albeit less fearsome than its legends. These reptiles were pack hunters, using their keen sense of smell to track their prey. Moving about on four strong legs, the Ithorian dragon was a stealthy hunter. Its eyes, which were located at the top of their skulls, provided the dragons with nearly-complete field of vision, allowing them to track prey and scan for other predators or scavengers. The position of the eyes made it nearly impossible to sneak up on a dragon, when it was alert and hunting. The hunting packs of Ithorian dragons were led by a single female, who led a team of males into the field. Non-hunting females remained behind to guard the pack's territory. (UA)

Ithorian Flitter
This was another name for the shamarok. (SWJ3, OWS)

Ithullan
This race was once native to the planet Ithull. However, they were wiped out by the Mandalorian Crusaders a few hundred years before the Galactic Civil War. (TME, SWI80, NECH)

Ithullian Ore-Hauler
This huge starship was formed from the carapace of a dead Colossus Wasp by the Ithullans. Used some four millennia before the Battle of Endor, these Ore-Haulers measured overa a kilometer in length, and required a crew of 15 to operate. 14 gunners manned the weapons emplacements which protected the ship and its cargo. The general configuration was to have a pair of front-mounted heavy turbolasers supported by twelve defensive blasters. These unusual ships were equipped with slow hyperdrives, in an effort to provide them with supralight speeds that wouldn't destroy the Wasp carcass. (TOJC)

Itipiniwi
This Sullustan wilwog won first place in the annual Mid-Rim Domesticated Sub-Sentient Show, held on the planet Commenor shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. Unfortunately, Itipiniwi's owner became hysterical when the results were announced, causing the wilwog to yelp wildly. This yelping irritated the sensitive ears of the runner-up, a bolystyngar named Boshdua, and the bolystyngar simply ate Itipiniwi. Boshuda was named the winner by default, as there were no rules regarding the consumption of one entrant by another. (HNN4)

It'kla, Ylenic
This Caamasi was one of the few members of his species to become a Jedi Knight. A golden-furred humanoid with purple facial stripes, Ylenic was assigned to work with Aayla Secura in recovering Ratri Tane from Corellia. There, Ylenic worked with his old friend, Nejaa Halcyon, to ensure that Aayla's mission was a success, despite the mysterious circumstances under which it was carried out. Shortly after the Clone Wars, Ylenic and Nejaa were dispatched to stop Nikkos Tyris, who had stumbled upon ancient Sith lore. Although the Jedi succeeded in eliminating the Sith threat, Nejaa was killed in the struggle. Ylenic then flew to Corellia to deliver Nejaa's personal belongings to his widow, Scerra. Years later, he served as one of Bail Organa's chief advisors during the early years of the New Order. Ylenic was part of the Alderaanian delegation which travelled to Cloud City to meet with Bria Tharen. Unfortunately for thr Caamasi, Ylenic was on Alderaan when it was destroyed by the first Death Star. It'kla died in the blast. (RD, IJ, SWI66, PJSB)

Itoklo, Seyyerin
This young Jedi Knight was one of those who trained under Luke Skywalker at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. When the Yuuzhan Vong claimed they would halt their invasion if the New Republic turned over all the Jedi, Seyyerin Itoklo was one of the first to stand against the Yuuzhan Vong in defending a planet. Itoklo was killed while protecting the planet. (EVC, SWI57)

It was believed that there were several Tibanna-rich gas giants that where hidden within the nebula. (WOA33, KOR11)

Ivey
This woman joined the Alliance as a procurement officer, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. She later was chosen to be part of Andrephan Stormcaller's Red Alpha unit, and left the New Republic armed forces when Stormcaller himself opted out to form the Red Moons.

Ivory Tower
Found near some lava pits on the planet Aridus, this edifice was destroyed when the false Ben Kenobi - planted by Darth Vader in hopes of luring Luke Skywalker to the planet - tried to distract the Dark Lord and allow Luke to escape. The false Kenobi reduced the Tower to rubble, capturing Vader in the collapse and giving Luke time to flee Aridus. (CSW)

Ivpikkis
This Ssi-ruuvi Admiral was the military commander of the task force sent to subjugate the planet Bakura. He was one of the few Ssi-ruuk at Bakura with real military experience, having been a soldier and scout before being promoted to officer status. It was Ivpikkis who captured Imperial troops and suggested that the Ssi-ruuk should use the Empire to extend their control. It was believed that Admiral Ivpikkis managed to escape the destruction of the Ssi-ruuvi fleet during the Battle of Bakura. (TB, TBSB)

Ivrooy Coral
This form of coral was well-known among the rich and powerful for its ability to be cultured and grown into strong, durable pieces of furniture. Many of the best cultured ivrooy pieces were manufactured before the Clone Wars. The color of ivrooy was not stable, and darkens over time. (SOP)

Ivuur
This unusual bird, native to the planet Ithor, could sing two different songs at the same time. (GCG)

Ivuur
This name was common among Ithorian females. Although such names do not generally have meaning, Ithorians who studied their race's history learned that the name referred to an unusual Ithorian song bird, which could sing two songs at the same time. This meaning often gave the name Ivuur negative connotations. (GCG)

IW-323
This was the callsign of one of the many stormtroopers who served under Admiral Galak Fyyar, during the early years of the New Republic. (JK2)

IW-37
Known alternately as the Salvager or as a pincer loader, this droid was a nimbler version of the CLL-M2 load lifter that was used to manipulate heavy ordnance. It was developed to handle the more delicate operations of loading custom ordnance into the small fighters of the Jedi Knights during the height of the Clone Wars. With some additional programming, these droids were also used as traffic controllers and refuelers at hyperdrive ring stations. (SWI81, VD3, NEGD)

Iwo
This was Malan Tugrina's nickname for Mon Mothma. (SOC)

IX 3244-B
This was the designation of the Imperial Survey Team that first scouted out the Forest Moon of Endor as a location for building the second Death Star. (MTS)

Ix Dbukrii
This soft-bodied parasite was known for its ability to scar the neocortex of its host, causing dementia, disorientation, delusions, and loss of memory. The parasite was originally found in the Jospro Sector, where it lived in the Gnithian oep. The ix dbukrii was introduced into its host by a nearly extinct, blood-sucking Gnithian insect, slipping beneath the host's eyelids and burrowing into the brain. (TBSB)

IX-26
This New Republic patrol ship was used to ferry Kroddok Stopa's archaeological team to Brath Qella. It stopped on Babali to pick up Stopa and Josala Krenn to gather information on the Qella, during the attempt to capture the Teljkon vagabond. (BTS, SOL)

IX-2A
This BDG-7 assassin droid was originally part of the team of assassins maintained by Boss Tosk, until his programming was scrambled in an accident while on a hunt. IX-2A made its way to a repair facility, offered to pay for any repairs from Boss Tosk's bank account, then killed the technician when he tried to access the droid's programming. IX-2A had no memory of his service to Boss Tosk after being repaired, and went to work as an independent assassin. IX-2A's altered programming gave the droid a mean streak, and earned it a fearful reputation. Boss Tosk, meanwhile, discovered that IX-2A had gone rogue, and set his own assassins out to recover the droid. IX-2A managed to elude capture. (LOE)

IX3244-B
see IX 3244-B (SWSB, OWS)

IX4
This model of Taim & Bak laser cannons was made famous as the long, needle-like weapons used on the X-Wing starfighter. Note that the Jedi Knights Trading Card Game claims the IX4 was the laser cannon used on the nose of a Y-Wing starfighter. (SCRE, JKG, SWG2P, TSC)

IX-44F
This New Republic Intelligence ferret ship was sent to trail the Teljkon vagabond near Gmar Askilon, just before the Yevethan Great Purge. (BTS)

IX5
This was an upgraded version of the IX4 laser cannon that was produced by Taim & Bak, during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Ixetal cilona
This was a form of narcotic that was distilled from the balo mushrooms that were native to the planet Balosar. Ixetal cilona was developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, when it became the primary ingredient in the creation of death-sticks. It could be extracted in various grades, depending on the toxicity of the desired end-product. Production of Ixetal cilona was severely curtailed during the early years of the New Republic, when the devstating pollution that blanketed Balosar finally leeched its way into the underground caves where the balo mushrooms were grown. The economy of Balosar was greatly impacted, as the production of death sticks was almost halted. However, in the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, production began to rise when the refugees of damaged worlds turned to the drug to help them forget the horrors of the war. (HNN4, VD2, NEGA, SWLG)

Ixetallic
This recreational drug, a derivative of Ixetal cilona, was among many that were outlawed by the Galactic Alliance, during the years following the Swarm War. (LF5)

Ixiyen Fast Attack Craft
This medium starfighter was one of several craft that were developed for the Black Sun organization by TransGalMeg, during the height of the New Order. The Ixiyen was designed to be a dominating craft in fighter-to-fighter combat, with additional armor plating and weaponry. Its central fuselage was needle-shaped, with the aft section spreading out to house the four main sublight drives and a pair of maneuvering engines. The rear of the ship was supported by a pair of stout, downward-sloping wings and two rudder fins, while the front end was given added maneuverability via a pair of stabilizer fins. The forward fin on each side was held to the rear wing by a thick rod, giving the ship a rigid form that could handle intense dogfighting maneuvers. (SWGAL)

Ixlis, Yortal
This man owned and operated Yortal's Emporium in Ahto East, on the planet Manaan, during the era of the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)

Ixll
A small, flying creature native to Da Soocha 5, the ixlls have a fair amount of intelligence, and were talented toolmakers. They have been expanding their native technology, and know a great deal about computers, repulsorlifts, and starship engines. When the New Republic chose the Pinnacle Moon for a base, the Ixlls welcomed the humans with a curious reservation. The two groups studied each other, and were able to achieve a working relationship. The Ixlls have even learned to use their normal language, which consists of various chirps, clicks, and whistles, to communicate with R2 astromech droids. (DE1, DESB)

Ixnoltah
This Dug was a member of Sebolto's gang during the years following the Battle of Naboo. The Pixelito Grand Council issued a bounty for his capture in connection with the sale of death sticks to the youth of Pixelito, a bounty that Jango Fett managed claim during his attempt to meet with Sebolto. (BH)

Ixsan, Rogh'ma
This Dug slaver was one of the many members of his species who joined the RavinsBlud crime syndicate during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. A bounty for his capture was issued by the Coruscant police force in connection with the transport of death sticks between Malastare and Coruscant. Jango Fett later claimed this bounty during his attempt to locate Sebolto on Malastare. (BH)

Ixsthmus
This Ithorian was the captain of the transport ship, the Long Shot. He was considered quite handsome, for an Ithorian. He was stern, intelligent, and possesses absolutely no sense of humor. He was a strong supporter of the Alliance, and helped them out whenever he could. However, if a mission put the Long Shot in jeopardy, Ixsthmus would almost always back out. He relies on his co-pilot, Siene Symm, to perform any underhanded or sneaky dealings with customers, because Ixsthmus was also very honorable. (SWCP)

Ixtlar
This planet had a large number of holographic advertising signs scattered across its surface. It creates a dazzling nighttime vista. Located along the Corellian Run, Ixtlar saw combat during the Clone Wars when the Old Republic's Victory Fleet tried to hunt down the Bulwark Fleet of the Separatists. Later, Ixtlar was one of many planets captured by the Yuuzhan Vong during their invasion of the galaxy. This allowed the alien invaders to control a good portion of the Corellian Run, forcing the New Republic to use other routes for Coreward travel. (CSA, UF, NECH)

Ixzinian Rock Ram
This creature was native to the planet Pellastrallas. (COG)

Iych-thae
This fanatical Ithorian commanded the shepherd ship Varnay during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He held strongly to the ecological and environmental beliefs of his people, and traveled to Elrood Sector to preach his message to the peoples there. Iych-thae protested vehemently on the abuses Radell Mining Corporation enacted on the planet Dega, which was abandoned as a barren ball of rock after Radell's mines ran dry. Iych-thae was instrumental in the negotiations between Radell and the Anguilla of Alluuvia, and eventually agreed to act as an independent overseer to Radell's future mining operations. (OE)

Iychtor
This frozen ball of rock was the fifth and outermost planet of the Velus System. It was orbited by a single moon. (CCW)

Iyo waza goniteezex

Iyo waza kinateze u kuntatezez u pizolooiz un tazax goniteezex
This phrase from the Bocce language meant "I am a vice president and systems consultant for personnel development and management consulting." (GPB)

Iyon
The Codru-Ji Chamberlain assigned to Princess Leia during her stay on Munto Codru. The inherent political infighting among the Codru-Ji did not reach a concensus on his qualifications, so Iyon's appointment to the post was a hard-fought battle. Iyon had a young child, still in the pupal wyrwulf stage, when Princess Leia arrives on the planet. When the Solo children were kidnapped by Hethrir, Iyon's child was also taken. The child was very near its metamorphosis stage, and cocoons itself just before returning to Munto Codru. (CS)

Iyra
A race of tentacled cephalopods native to the planet F'tral, these sentient ocean-dwellers have developed vast underwater cities. Averaging a meter in diameter, the Iyra have a large mouth on their ventral side and several eyestalks on the dorsal side. For each tentacle an Iyra has, there was usually one eyestalk. As an Iyra matures, it grows more tentacles and eyestalks. They have an impressive technology, creating corrosion-resistant materials as well as gravitic and inertial devices for starships. They have established a caste system dependant upon the number of tentacles and eyestalks an individual has, thereby guaranteeing that each individual will continually improve their position in life. The more tentacles, the higher their position in society. Thus, they were very contempuous of humanoid and other legged alien races. They were able to survive outside the oceans of F'tral by filling starship cabins with a mixture of gases and water vapor that keep their skin moist and maintain chemical balances. (GG4)

Iyra Gravity Belt
This device, manufactured by Iyranis Gravitics Limited, was a belt which was equipped with a series of gravity-field generators. In a free-fall situation, the wearer could activate the belt's generators, which emitted gravity pulses to help slow their descent and prevent serious injury. (GFT)

Iyranis Gravitics Limited
This Iyra corporation produced a wide range of tools based on gravitic technology. (GFT)

Iyred
This planet was once covered with tropical forests, and was the native world of the black bha'lir. However, deforestation and construction threatened the population of black bha'lir. The Society of the Black Bha'lir eventually led several missions to rescue the huge cats. (BSS)

Iyuta
This planet was the site of an Imperial communications center, located in the city of Takari. The Alliance staged a raid on Iyuta, with the help of Reekeene's Roughnecks, and successfully knocked out the communications center, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (SWCP)

Izable
This was one of the codenames used by Zozriodor Slayke to describe key locations of military value on the planet Praesitlyn, during the attempt by Freedom's Sons and Daughters to fend off a Separatist attack on the Intergalactic Communications Center, some two and a half years after the Battle of Geonosis. Izable was the outermost of Slayke's defenses, a redoubt some 600 kilometers from Slayke's command center that served as a place from which scouts could monitor the enemy's position and actions. Like the command center and positions Eliey, Kaudine, and Judlie, Izable had a 360-degree view of its surrounding terrain, and its fire zone overlapped with Eliey and Kaudine. This provided the maximum defense of the command center. However, Zozridor's forces were badly outnumbered by the battle droids of the Separatists, and personnel from the Izable location were forced to fall back to Judlie to regroup. (JT)

Izai
This Yuuzhan Vong term represented the "essence of a promise." A promise of izai was made when one individual vowed to assist another, but in a much different way than anticipated or desired. The individual who mad the promise was bound to carry it through, even if the original contract was altered. (FP)

I'zak, Anise
This young, freckle-faced woman was one of the many Jedi Knights who were thrust into military roles, during the era of the Clone Wars. She had a sassy attitude and a knack for getting into trouble that many Jedi Masters believed would prevent her from passing her Trials. She often used colorful expletives to cover her mistakes, as well as to help her overcome her emotions in difficult situations. Despite their opinions, Anise managed to complete her Trial, and was promoted to Jedi Knight shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. She was dispatched to the planet Hitaka, accompanying Jedi Masters Aayla Secura and Ki-Adi-Mundi, during the height of the Clone Wars. Their mission was approved by Chancellor Palpatine himself, and Anise's part involved carrying a special canister across enemy territory to a remote site that was held by the Grand Army of the Republic. She had to fight her way through several squads of battle droids, but she lost the canister when it was hit by a blaster bolt that would have taken her life. Upon reaching the remote camp, she was forced to admit her failure to the clone troopers there, and was surprised when the two Jedi Masters appeared from the command tent. They explained that Anise's mission had merely been a diversion that was meant to confuse the Separatist forces, allowing the GAR to capture the real objective. Although she hated the fact that she was little more than a diversion on the mission, Anise realized that she could follow orders when necessary. Unknown to the Jedi and the forces of the GAR, however, was the fact that their orders had been compromised by Darth Sidious, so that they were focused on one mission while Count Dooku carried out his own mission on Hitaka. Note that Clone Wars Adventures, issue 10 has Aayla Secura calling Anise by the title Master I'zak, even though she had only completed the Jedi Trials. (CWA10)

Izaryx
This being was one of the few supporters of the Alliance who were living on Dathomir during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Izhiq, Paxaz
This Falleen male was one of the criminals who pursued Bardan Jusik and the clone commandos, Sev and Fi, after they captured Vinna Jiss on Coruscant, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. Thanks in large part to Jusik's flying abilities, Izhiq and his comrades were unable to eliminate catch them. During the chase, the clones managed to destroy Izhiq's speeder, killing the Falleen and his passengers. Because Jusik and the clone commandos were working on a special operations mission to locate a group of Separatist-backed terrorists, Izhiq's death was assumed to have been part of an underworld gang war. His death set off a spree of organized crime killings, which caused trouble for the Coruscant Security Force but helped hide the mission to seek out the terrorists. (RCTZ)

Iziz
A major city on Onderon, and the city where Freedon Nadd held court following his seduction by the Dark Side. It was walled by the inhabitants in command, to separate themselves from the Dxun beasts that descended on the planet when the Dxun moon orbitted close. The city itself sits on a low mountain within the walls. The walls contained several thousand square miles of territory, and reached several miles into the planet's crust. (TOJ, FNU, DLS)

Iziz
This Jawa was one of the few members of his tribe to escape being enslaved by a group of Tuskan Raiders, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. He enlisted the help of a Jedi Knight in rescuing his tribe, and provided them with a map of the Western Dune Sea in return. This map helped the Jedi locate one section of the Star Map. (KOTOR)

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

Izrina
This luminous being was the queen of the Wisties on the Forest Moon of Endor, during the years leading up to the Galactic Civil War. She befriended Cindel and Mace Towani after their starship crashed on the moon, and assisted them in rescuing their parents from the Gorax. She flew around the Gorax's head, confusing and enraging the beast. She was the only Wistie to remain outside of the Candle of Pure Light. (EA, SWDB)

Izvoshra
This was the name given to the elite group of eight Kaleesh soldiers who served as General Grievous' bodyguards during the Huk Wars. The word Izvoshra translated into Basic as "my elite." The Izvoshra never numbered more than eight individuals at a time, as the number eight was sacred among the Kaleesh. Each member of the Izvoshra held the rank of khan, and commanded their own unit within the kolkpravis. They were selected for their fighting abilities, their cunning, and their loyalty to the Kaleesh people. The Izvoshra was formed in the wake of the death of Ronderu lij Kummar, after Grievous made a pilgrimage to Abesmi. The original members were a diverse group of individuals, and included a member of Ronderu's tribe and a former member of the Muja Bandits. The common bond among them was their loyalty to Grievous and their desire to destroy the Huks. It was believed that the members of the Izvoshra were all killed in the crash of the Martyr, an event that nearly killed Grievous himself. San Hill, who was behind the crash of the shuttle, arranged for a group of IG-100 MagnaGuards to serve as Grievous' new Izvoshra, after he agreed to serve as Count Dooku's military leader. Grievous, however, never fully embraced them as khans, because they were not able to provide him with military counsel and their loyalty was not freely given, but programmed into their brains. (OWS)

Izzat
This Twi'lek was a member of the Society of the Black Bha'lir, but was also something of a traitor. He was known to have turned no less than twelve of his fellow Black Bha'lir members - including Kaine Paulsen - to the local and Imperial authorities. When Drake Paulsen learned of Izzat's treachery, he hunted the Twi'lek down and killed him, ostensibly invoking the Rite of Retribution. What Drake didn't know was that Izzat was working for the Empire at the time. The Empire put out a bounty on Paulsen and his partner, Nikaede Celso, but it was never claimed. (BSS)

Izzed
This was a common name given to male Duros children. The name Izzed came from the term meaning "entertaining". (GCG)

Izzy Six
This was the codename used by the forces of Freedom's Sons and Daughters to denote the command post established by Lieutenant D'Nore on the redoubt known as Izable, on Praesitlyn, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. The name Izzy Six was reserved for communications only, as a security measure. (JT)

Izzy-mold
This disgusting fungus was harvested on Naos III as a foodstuff. (LEV)
