l@2erbr@1n
This was the handle of one of the many slicers who first discovered Tiny F's message of an impending attack by the Thaereian Military on the people of the Cularin System, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. (LFCW)

L-17A Quickjump
This top-of-the-line navigational computer was produced by Novastar Corporation during the height of the New Order. Novastar claimed that the L-17A could reduce a starship's hyperspace travel time to rival that of a Class One hyperdrive, but failed to warn consumers that the unit was incompatible with most starships and required almost continual maintenance. (SPG)

L19 Light Freighter
This was a Surronian transport ship design, part of a "limited edition" of starship designs produced by Surron StarTech when the Surronians were deep in an economic depression. The 'L' in the name indicated that the L19 was from one of these limited editions. At 50 meters in length, the L19 was a flattened sphere of a craft which could transport up to 150 metric tons of cargo while comfortably accommodating a crew of four and up to seven passengers. In its stock configuration, the L19 was armed with two turret-mounted blaster cannons. (SS, PP)

L19a Freighter
This was a special, luxury edition of the Surronian L19 heavy freighter. (SS)

L1Q2BU3SP12
This was the code left behind by Ren S'orn in a marked deck of sabacc cards. The code provided the location of Jenna Zan Arbor's hidden research lab, where she performed experiments on Force-sensitive individuals in an effort to isolate the source of the Force's power. The code indicated that the lab was in Level One, Quad Two, Block Unit 3 of the Sim-First settlement on Simpla-12. (EVE)

L1V-IN
This IN-series information droid worked at the passenger spaceport on Kuat during the Galactic Civil War. L1N-IN was also an Alliance operative, and was programmed to provide vital information to field agents who used the correct pass-phrase and whose voice-patterns were recognized by the droid. L1V-IN's role to the Alliance was revealed to the Empire by Vewin, who was forced to reveal it during intense interrogation. (SESB)

L2 Base Labor Droid
Developed by Industrial Automaton, this series of droids was mass-produced to be cheap, reliable, menial laborers. They could be programmed for a wide range of functions, but were primarily used for construction, maintenance, and repair. (SWJ1)

L-200
This was a model of transport ship that was similar in appearance to the SX troop transport that was commissioned for the Grand Army of the Republic. (RDV)

L-23
This burnished, red-plated protocol droid was converted for use on Byrom and his wife, Ensa, for use on their Molavar-based moisture farm, during the final years of the Old Republic. L-23 was badly damaged when Lycan arrived at their farm, and Byrom spent a few days repairing the droid with whatever parts he had lying around his shop. (T23)

L30
This was the Yuuzhan Vong grid coordinate for the planet Belkadan and its system, which served as the starting point for Vector Prime. (NJOSB)

L7 Droid
A series of logician droids. (DE1)

L7-BO
This shiny protocol droid was owned by Sleightan, who claimed it once belonged to his son, Armbrus. L7-BO's plating had a bluish tinge, and its eyes were a golden yellow in color. Sleightan claimed that the Imperial customs officer who imprisoned Armbrus gave the droid back to him, saying it was all he could have of Armbrus' possessions. Sleightan then tried to sell the droid to newcomers to the Mynock 7 Space Station, hoping to earn a few credits to survive since Armbrus could no longer send him any spending money. L7-BO was programmed to speak only when spoken to, but could relate virtually any of his adventures with ease. Despite outward appearances, L7-BO was also a con artist, who would flee from any being who purchased him to return to Sleightan. (SWJ11)

L80-RC
This L80-series protocol droid once belonged to Riboga the Hutt, one of many such droids used by Riboga to help run his business. L80-RC was destroyed when Riboga was removed from control of the Cularin System, but its head was located by Ginder the Bimm. It contained information on the inventories performed when Riboga turned his operations over to Nirama, as well as the locations of various storehouses. The head was eventually turned over to a team of freelance mercenaries for safekeeping. (WOA4)

L80-series Droid
This was a series of protocol droids produced on Uffel during the height of the Old Republic. (WOTC)

L8-L9
This prototype combat droid was produced by Tagge Industries during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The L8-L9 series was then proposed as a a stand-in for the clone troopers of the grand Army of the Republic, whenever environmental conditions were too hostile or deadly to human soldiers. In fact, the cranium of the L8-L9 was meant to resemble the helmet of a clone trooper, albeit in an abstract way. The project was originally created by Orman Tagge, who hoped that the delivery of a doid army into the hands of Chancellor Palpatine would win him favor with the leader of the galaxy. The L8-L9 was covered with blue armor plating, and was armed with a hand-mounted flame projector on the left arm and a plasma generator on the right. The L8-L9 prototype was submitted to the Rattataki warlords as a combatant in the Blood Sport of Rattatak, an event that Baron Tagge believed would prove that his new droids were superior warriors. However, L8-L9 was placed into combat in The Cauldron with Asajj Ventress, and the lightsaber-wielding Rattataki quickly destroyed L8-L9. Baron Tagge didn't abandon the idea of droid infantry, however, and used L8-L9's plans as the basis for the Z-X3 project. (SWDB, NEGD)

L-9
This server droid was purchased by Memah Roothes for use at the Soft Heart Cantina, during the early years of the New Order. About the size of a trash can, L-9 had extendoble arms that it could use to grasp glasses or trays. The top of the droid was covered by a magnetic plate, to which it could attach a tray for transport. L-9 moved about on a set of wheels, giving it good speed and maneuverability. (DSTR)

L9 Crestrunner
This amphibious vehicle was produced by the Mon Calamari for use in military campaigns on aquatic worlds. The Crestrunner resembled many other Mon Calamari submersibles, but it was equipped with a set of walker-like legs for locomotion in shallow water and on the ground. Measuring twenty meters in length, the L9 Crestrunner required a crew of four to operate, and could accommodate up to thirty-eight passengers and a metric ton of cargo. The L9 was armed with four blaster cannons and a pair of torpedo launchers. On land, the Crestrunner was capable of speeds of sixty kilometers per hour. In the water, it could move about at more than 150 kilometers per hour. Its maximum safe depth was twelve kilometers. (GORW)

L9-G8
One of a short-lived series of luxury droids created to serve rich and famous individuals, this culinary automaton was presented to the Alliance by the Squibs, as a symbol of their good faith during the search for the Elusive. In reality, the Squibs couldn't wait to get rid of the droid, which was the most annoying mechanical individual they had ever encountered. The droid simply wanted to find a master who could enjoy fine cuisine. (SH)

L'a, Nanno
This man operated a gang of information gatherers during the last decades of the Old Republic, working the streets near the Senate Chamber and keeping tabs on the Senators and commission members from other worlds. They didn't steal anything, but sold information on who was on the planet and what they had with them that might be worth stealing. Nanno was a good friend of Didi Oddo,and helped Astri Oddo run down the list of names on Jenna Zan Arbor's guestlist. (EVE)

This Huttese phrase translated into Basic as "I will get back to you on that one." (GPB)

Laa
This bouncer, one of the oldest and wisest of his species on the planet Ruusan, rescued the young girl named Rain when her ship crashed into the planet. Rain had been traveling with her brother and cousin to join the Jedi Knights who were participating in the Battle of Ruusan, and Laa managed to save the girl from a dreadful fall following the crash. Unfortunately for both of them, Laa had a dream in which Rain succumbed to the Dark Side of the Force. After the Brotherhood of Darkness set off their thought bomb, Laa was nearly killed by the combined anguish and pain that resonated through the Force. Only Rain's innate ability to shield them from the wave of emotion saved the bouncer's life. When Laa was mistakenly killed by Petja, who was acting on orders from Lord Valenthyne Farfalla to eliminate the insane bouncers, Rain was so angry that she killed Petja and allowed herself to be consumed by the Dark Side. She eventually became Darth Bane's first apprentice, Darth Zannah. (JVS, DBPD, DBRT)

Laa
This was one of the many species of scalefish which inhabited the oceans of Naboo. Distinguished by its long snoth and broad tail, the green-scaled laa had a long, thin dorsal fin which was tipped by a bio-luminescent bulb. This bulb helped attract the laas favorite prey, the yobshrimp. (IG1, WSW)

Laabann, Arian
This Eiattuan noble was a full Count, and was one of the leaders of the Priamsta during the time when Plourr Ilo tried to reconstruct the monarchy on Eiattu. He was willing to kidnap or even kill Plourr in order to keep the Priamsta in control, thereby maintaining the separation of the commoners from the royalty. In this effort, Laabann even tried to have Plourr kidnapped, but she escaped and was able to oust the Priamsta. A few years later, when Princess Leia Organa traveled to Eiattu for diplomatic negotiations, Laabann was arrested on charges of having Leia and Tycho Celchu kidnapped. In reality, Laabann had sold information about the Eiattuan castle and Leia's location to Moff Leonia Tavira. Soontir Fel interrogated Laabann, and revealed that he was still working for the Empire. Laabann threatened to expose him, but Fel ensured his secrecy. (XWWP, XWM)

LAACDoc
This was the abbreviation used by the Empire to describe Legal Authorization for Advanced Confinement Documents. (GG10)

Laait
This Yuuzhan Vong commander was dispatched by WarMaster Nas Choka to report on the status of the battle to protect Coruscant - tranformed into a simulacrum of Yuuzhan'tar - from attack by the Galactic Alliance, some five years after the initial invasion of the galaxy. It was Laait who had to explain to Shimrra that his plan to drive a starship infected with the Alpha Red virus onto Zonama Sekot had failed, after a series of Jedi-piloted Sekotan starships defeated Nas Choka's vanguard ships. (UF)

Laakteen Depot
The Alliance used this planet's proximity to Fondor as a reason to build a base there, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. It took nearly a year for the Alliance to take the planet from the Empire and establish the base. However, shortly after the completion of the Executor, Darth Vader wiped out the base on the huge ship's maiden voyage. The destruction of the base forced the Alliance to bring the Mon Calamari into the Galactic Civil War, hoping that they could create a diversion while the Alliance evacuated Massassi Base. (CSW)

LAAT/c Gunship
This version of Rothana Heavy Engineering's Low-Altitude Assault Transport ship was designed to carry AT-TE walkers and other cargo into battle. Derived from the design of the LAAT/i gunship, the LAAT/c had the lower hold completely removed. It was equipped with heavy grasping arms that held the AT-TE in place while descending to a planet's surface. These arms them released the AT-TE onto the battlefield. The LAAT/c measured 17.4 meters in length. (X2, SWDB, SWI64)

LAAT/i Gunship
Developed and manufactured by Rothana Heavy Engineering, the Low-Altitude Assault Transport/Infantry gunship was designed to carry clone troopers into battle from an Acclamator-class transport. Measuring 17.4 meters in length, each LAAT/i was armed with three anti-personnel laser turrets, a pair of mass-driver missile launchers, a light air-to-air rocket launcher, and four composite-beam laser turrets. Two of these turrets were remotely-operated, and located on the wings of the LAAT/i. The other two were manned by clone troopers, and were mounted on an armature that deployed the turret from the main hold to an outboard firing position. One pilot and a co-pilot/gunner were required to operate the LAAT/i, which could also carry two turret gunners and up to thirty clone troopers. An IM-6 battlefield medical droid completed the personnel of the LAAT/i, which provided remote medical support to the troopers which were delivered to the battlefield. If personnel were not carried in the main hold, the gunship could deliver four military speeder bikes or seventeen cubic meters of materiel. The top speed of these atmospheric vessels was rated at more than 600 kilomters per hour. (X2, SWDB, CWVG)

LAAT/v Gunship
This version of the LAAT/i craft produced by Rothana Heavy Engineering was manufactured with a vehicle hangar in place of the passenger compartment. (SWI64)

Laazrau
This gas giant was the eighth planet in the Zug System. It was orbited by 13 moons. (PH)

Lab Module
This was the name of a group of cargo container vessels that were part of the Dimok fleet, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. The Lab Module group rendezvoused at the space station Youst during the weeks that followed the Battle of Hoth, where they were captured by Imperial forces that were supporting the Ripoblus during the Sepan Civil War. (TIEP)

Labansat
This infamous Weequat mercenary worked in the Lesser Plooriod Cluster and the Karstaxon Region. (GG12, REB)

Laboda na rowka?
This Huttese question translated into Basic as "Is that authentic?" (GMR5)

Laboi
A mammalian race native to the planet Laboi II, they were furred snakelike creatures which survive the planet's intense weather. They live in packs which roam the planet in search of ovolyans, all the time making sure that they don't fall prey to the ovolyans themselves. The largest male was considered the pack leader, although true leadership comes from age. The laboi have cultivated unique, carefully-tended gardens of crystals, and they seem to have a limited form of telekinesis which allows them - especially the older females - to agitate the molten rock and crystal to form beautiful, subtly colored crystals. These crystals were highly desired on many Core Worlds. (GG4)

Laboi II
The second planet in the Laboi System of the Outer Rim, Laboi II had a year which encompassed about 4,050 standard hours. Laboi II also had a slow, retrograde orbit that caused one side of the planet to remain sunward. This created a "day" that lasted about 2,020 hours. During this time, the planet's sun, Er'Dox Kaan, heated one side of the planet to the point where rocks began to melt. When coupled with the fact that the other side of the planet was locked in sub-zero temperatures, strong winds were created at the terminator line that helped distribute the heat and cold evenly. This allowed minimal forms of life to exist on the planet. Laboi II had no natural plant life because of the searing effects of its orbit, but the Laboi, the ovolyan, and numerous species of insects were able to adapt to the extreme temperatures of the planet. (GG4, SWJ10)

Laboi Mineral Crystals
Mined on the planet Laboi II, these crystals were popular in the Galactic Core. (GG4)

Labooda, Sar
This Chalactan Jedi Knight served the order as a contemporary of Depa Billaba, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN5)

Labreezle, Claria
This young girl was a native of Ektra City, on the planet Metellos, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Claria was taken hostage by Dreed Pommel, and might have died if Jedi Master Plo Koon hadn't intervened. Using a low-powered version of Force lightning, Master Koon incapacitated Pommel without drawing his lightsaber, saving Claria and giving him the opportunity to send Pommel to prison. (EGF)

Labria
This was Kardue'sai'Malloc's alias while he was living on Tatooine, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. The word "labria" in Devish had a dirty connotation, loosely translating into Basic as "cold food." Around the spaceport town of Mos Eisley, he was known as a drunkard and a coward. He offered his help to the Alliance operatives who went to Tatooine to locate Adar Tallon, but was wounded in a firefight with the bounty hunters. He fled into the night, and was not seen again. (SCRE, TM, TME)

Labu labu?
This Ewok question, often used when bartering, translated into Basic as "How much?" (GPB)

Labyrinth, The
This was the name of the honeycombed tunnels and passages which wove beneath DarkStryder's fortress on the planet Kathol. The original tunnels had been excavated by the ancient Kathol, during their attempt to preserve their life-energies within the Lifewell. DarkStryder's bio-engineered servants, especially the Charr Ontee, were directed to expand the Labyrinth, and the Maoi and Segmi both created their own tunnels and warrens as part of the Labyrinth. (E)

Laca
A domestic herd animal raised by the farmers of the planet Makthierse. (COG)

Lacendad, Rispi
This man operated a small, family medical practice in the CoCo District of Coruscant, during the last years of the Old Republic. His middle-class patrons were primarily Chadra-Fans, and he was among the small group of doctors who decried the atmospheric conditions on the planet. (HNN4)

Lachany Foods
This foodstuffs manufacturer was headquartered in the city of Greenton, on the planet Aldivy. (IF)

Lachichuk
This Wookiee was one of the many warriors who defended their homeworld and the city of Kachirho during the final stages of the Clone Wars. Lachichuk served under Merumeru during the fighting. In the wake of the Clone Wars and the execution of Order 66, Lachichuk was among the group of Wookiees who met Olee Starstone and her group of Jedi survivors, when they arrived on Kashyyyk. Like Guania, Lachichuk had his doubts about the newcomers. When Starstone spoke of Master Yoda in reverent tones, he agreed to take the Jedi to Kachirho, where they could continue their discussion in secrecy. (VD3, SWDB, RDV)

Lachton
This bulky man was a crew member of the smuggling vessel Wild Karrde, during the early years of the New Republic. He often served as the ship's copilot, but could also man a turbolaser in a fight. (HTTE, TLC)

This gas giant was the third planet in the Recopi System. It was orbited by nine moons. (CCW)

Lacmar, Andrel
This man served as the ranking Imperial Army officer, reporting to Moff Lesan Ramier of Brak Sector, during the height of the New Order. While Lacmar was extrememly loyal to the Empire and its military philosophy, his own methods were relatively untested when he was promoted to Brak Sector. As a General, Lacmar was a peer of Admiral Trier, but the two constantly clashed over their differing views on how to stage a battle. Lacmar criticized Trier's unconventional tactics as being unreliable, but his own methods produced no better results. (FBS)

Ladarra
This remote planet was covered with deserts of rest-colored sand. (TFNR)

Ladira
This Devaronian information broker worked from base in Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Ladira was believed to be a supporter of the Alliance, but she was actually an Imperial double-agent. (WOA5)

The flesh of this sea creature was considered a delicacy. (RD)

Lado, Dean
This man was the leader of the Spiders swoops gang, which terrorized his home city of Gallisport, on Shesharile 5, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Lado made several alliances with other swoop gangs, namely the Westwood and the Raging Banthas, in an effort to desrtoy the Rabid Mynocks and gain control of the city. He also wanted to possess the Star Slinger swoop prototype, and did everything in his power to take the vehicle from Chop Harlison. In order to achieve this, Lado once kidnapped Chop's daughter, Jardra, and challenged Quayce to a race. If he won, Lado would obtain the Star Slinger and gain control of the Mynocks. If he lost, Quayce remained in command of the Mynocks and recovered Jardra. Lado tried every dirty trick in the book to eliminate Quayce, but she managed to counter his every move. When she dropped a magnetic grenade in his path, Lado was killed with the device attached itself to his swoop and exploded. (SWJ6)

Lado, Slaag
This male Draag was a known terrorist, living in the industrial district of Coruscant during the years following the Battle of Naboo. It was believed that Slaag was a member of the Calamasthon Defiance group, and was also working for Groff Haug at the time. He was wanted by the Mon Calamari Civil Authority in connection with a seismic disaster that devastated the Salinrerian Sea, causing environmental damage and a perpetual rain. Slaag was eventually captured by Jango Fett. (BH)

Lady Jalaka
Sienn Sconn fell in love with this woman during a drinking binge. (SWJ15)

Lady Luck
This was a form of three-dimensional roulette which was popular in Kathol Sector during the early years of the New Republic. (DARK)

Lady Luck
Lando Calrissian's personal ship, the Lady Luck was a modified SoroSuub PLY 3000 pleasure yacht. Formerly owned by an Orthellin royal mistress, the ship was richly appointed. Lando rigged it with a straight-line, homing-beacon type of full-rig slave circuitry. Other modifications to the weapons and defenses were also made. The ship was originally designed to be a mobile base of operations for the suave smuggler, who often entertained his female friends onboard. However, as Lando became increasingly active with the New Republic military, he made several modifications to give the Lady Luck more firepower and protection. A Class 3 hyperdrive allowed the ship to swiftly move across the galaxy, and it could reach speeds of 820 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. Advanced sensor systems and communications transceivers gave Lando the ability to keep in touch with civilian and military contacts. Outwardly, the Lady Luck still resembled a pleasure yacht, as the only visible waeponry was a laser cannon mounted on the belly. However, retractable weapons systems allowed five more laser cannons and a turret-mounted ion cannon to be brought to bear during a fight. The most unique element of the Lady Luck's design was its observation deck. Lando allowed the deck to remain open to the surrounding environment, which gave him the ability to entertain his guests "outside". To protect the passengers while in space, Lando installed a heavy-duty force field to surround the deck and allow beings to watch the stars as the ship moved between worlds. About seven years after the Battle of Endor, Lando was forced to abandon the Lady Luck on Kessel, during his the rescue of Han Solo and Chewbacca from the spice mines. He later returned to Kessel to take control of the mining operations, and was able to recover the Lady Luck and restore her to working condition. (HTTE, DFRSB, NEGV, JS)

Lady Luck, The

Lady of Mindor
This Lady-class luxury passenger liner was owned and operated by Authority Tours, and made a regular run between Roonadan and Ammuud during the early years of the New Order. Note that Han Solo's Revenge indicates that this ship was an M-class ship. The Lady of Mindor was a sleek, wedge-shaped craft measuring 310 meters in length. Han Solo and Fiolla booked passage aboard this ship while trying to get to Ammuud inconspicuously, during their investigation into a slavery ring that was being run in the upper levels of the Corporate Sector Authority. The Lady of Mindor was supposedly attacked by pirates as it emerged from hyperspace near Ammuud, forcing them to make forced landing on Ammuud. However, the pirates were actually the slavers who had been under investigation, as revealed when Fiolla recognized one of them as her personal assistant, Magg. (HSR, SWSB, CSA)

Lady of Whinnador
This moderately-priced Outer Rim cruise ship took passengers on a variety of interplanetary tours, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GG9, OWS)

Lady Starstorm
This YV-100 freighter was one of the previously-owned starships purchased by Luke Skwyalker and the Jedi Knights, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Like other such ships, the Lady Starstorm was purchased in response to the Yuuzhan Vong offer to pay any being to capture Jedi Knights for investigation. Because the starships used by most Jedi were well-known throughout the galaxy, used ships like the Lady Starstorm were used to move Jedi across the galaxy in relative anonymity. This craft was armed with a pair of laser cannons. (WOTC)

Lady Sunfire
This modified Barloz-class freighter was the personal ship of the ZeHethbra smuggler, Clyngunn, during the early years of the New Republic. The engine systems were upgraded, and the weapons system replaced with a trio of quad-laser cannons and four aft-mounted concussion missile launchers. Clyngunn also added a military-grade countermeasures package and a number of scan-shielded smuggling compartments. The Barloz-class ship was designed to be operated by a pilot and co-pilot, but Clyngunn hated company around, so he modified an R3-series astromech to silently help him operate the ship. The Lady Sunfire had space enough for seventy metric tons of cargo, and could accommodate up to four passengers when necessary. (TTSB, GMR4)

Lady Telura
Moff Balfour's Thalassian luxury space barge. He was constantly tinkering with it. (GG9)

Laesfa
This was the Mandalorian term for 'home', although it could be used to indicate anywhere that a being was currently staying. (KOTOR)

LAF-250
This Corellian Engineering Corporation light attack fighter measured 12 meters in length, and was armed with a pair of laser cannons. It was built by Republic Engineering Corporation in a unique agreement with CEC. The LAF-250 was a fast, maneuverable craft, but its light armament makes it an easy target for a large attack force. The LAF-250 was equipped with a Class-2 hyperdrive. (CTD)

Lafrell, Thook
This well-groomed, though paranoid, man served as one of Gomalo's most trusted lieutenants, and remained loyal to the Rodian slaver throughout Gomalo's prison term. Thus, when Gomalo was freed sometime before the onset of the Clone Wars, Lafrell was ready to help the Rodian regain what was once his: the carbonite-frozen body of Jedi Knight Ji-Ad Sarain. Lafrell's first mission was to throw off the investigation of Ezra Du'Re and the freelance agents who tried to rescue her. In an attempt to accomplish this, he let loose a group of poisonous kouhuns in the warehouse where Du'Re was captured. He then fled with Du'Re to the Starlight Lounge and Hotel, where he holed up with his Togorian thugs until Gomalo could recover Sarain's body.

Lafrell hoped that the hotel's many guests would shield him from a fight, and so was surprised when a group of freelance agents offered to discuss her release in another location. He agreed, and might have actually turned Du'Re over for a hefty ransom, but his paranoia led him to refuse their offer. A brief firefight broke out, and Lafrell was quickly subdued and forced to release Du'Re from captivity. (JST1)

Lagartoz War Dragon
Originally native to the planet Basilisk, Lagartoz War Dragons were exported to Mandalore in the wake of the Mandallian Campaigns. These vicious reptiles were believed to be a unique species, until scientists discovered that the War Dragons were actually descendants of the Basiliskans who were captured by the Mandalorians many millennia after the Battle of Basilisk. Lagartoz War Dragons were therefore quite intelligent, and could be trained as steeds or pets. Their huge claws were used to attack the enemies of the Mandalorians, while the wings of the beast allowed it to maneuver during aerial combat. (SWI80)

Lagg
This Doctor of Physics was in charge of the physics lab at the Imperial outpost on Lotide, during the Galactic Civil War. (BI)

Lago, Ian
This young boy was the son of Kun Lago, and was about the same age as Amidala. He was deeply in love with her, despite the fact that he had never actually met her. He set out to meet her, and, in fact, became good friends with Amidala. A simple romance blossomed, much to the dismay of Ian's father, who had been trying to blame Veruna's problems on Amidala herself. Kun disowned Ian, who fled his father's house to warn Amidala of Kun's treachery. After King Veruna abdicated the throne and Amidala was elected Queen, she was forced to expose Veruna's dealings and destroy the political career of Kun Lago. Ian hoped that she would return his love, but Amidala had already made her decision to devote her life to the people of Naboo. Distraught, Ian hired himself out to a starship captain and fled Naboo. (T5)

Lago, Kun
This man was the primary advisor to King Veruna of Naboo. It was Lago, along with Senator Palpatine, who began advising Veruna to make offworld alliances. When word of Veruna's shady off-world dealings began to leak out, Kun Lago publically denounced Amidala, hoping to deflect attention from Veruna by blaming the young girl for the problems. When Kun learned that his son, Ian, was in love with Amidala, he went into a furious rage and disowned Ian. After Veruna abdicated and replaced by Queen Amidala, Lago's political career was ruined and he was forced into poverty. (T5)

Laguna Caves
Podracers who took part in the Boonta Eve Classic had to pass through this low-ceilinged cave in order to complete a circuit around the Mos Espa Circuit racecourse. It was rumored that a krayt dragon inhabited the caves, giving the area a frightening reputation and forcing rescue operations to refrain from entering the caves. (IWE1, SWDB)

Lah, Czulkang
This ancient Yuuzhan Vong was the father of Warmaster Tsavong Lah. After being succeeded by his son, Czulkang Lah became a well-known teacher of Yuuzhan Vong youths. A harsh and stern master, Czulkang Lah demanded only the best from his students. Many students earned "Czulkang Lah pits," as a result of making mistakes in his classes. In the wake of the Battle of Coruscant, Tsavong Lah called upon his father's expertise to help him guide the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. The elder warrior had severe arthritis, and could move about only with the help of enhanced vonduun-crab armor. When the Yuuzhan Vong began planning their assault on the galaxy, Czulkang Lah opposed his son's plans for conquest. However, he bore his son no ill will, and agreed to take command of Domain Hul's resources to lead an assault against Borleias, following the Battle of Coruscant. While he was a cunning warrior in his time, Czulkang Lah was unable to anticipate the tactics used by Wedge Antilles at Borleias. The former Warmaster fell completely for the Starlancer Project, and dedicated large amounts of military resource to destroying it. Then, when the New Republic finally abandoned Borleias, Czulkang Lah failed to interpret the destruction being suffered by the Lusankya. His weakness in trying to anticipate the actions of the Republic led him to lose much of his fleet before realizing that the Lusankya was going to ram his worldship. Czulkang Lah ordered the complete evacuation of the ship, but remained aboard as it exploded after being impaled by the Super Star Destroyer. (EL1, EL2)

Lah, Hul
This was the alias used by Corran Horn, after he took command of the Stalking Moon, when he posed as the ship's commander in order to gain access to the Yag'Dhul system. (EVR)

Lah, Kahlee
see Khalee Lah (UF)

Lah, Khalee
This Yuuzhan Vong warrior was the son of Warmaster Tsavong Lah. Taller than the average Yuuzhan Vong, Khalee Lah was distinguished by the various spikes and horns which adorned his scarred body. Prominent among these was a short, thick horn that protruded from his forehead. He accompanied the priest Harrar, leading the effort to capture Jaina and Jacen Solo in order to sacrifice the twin Jedi to the Yuuzhan Vong gods. Harrar admired Khalee Lah's dedication to the Yuuzhan Vong, but questioned the youthful exuberance and blatant egotism in his manners and actions. Khalee Lah was openly disdainful of any possible threat the Chiss could bring to bear against the Yuuzhan Vong, unaware that it was the Chiss who first destroyed a Yuuzhan Vong reconnaissance mission more than fifty years earlier. During the attempt to recover the Trickster at Hapes, Khalee Lah's forces proved to be no match for the Hapan fleet, and many Yuuzhan Vong ships were destroyed. It was believed that Khalee Lah surrendered himself to Harrar, hoping that his death could be attributed to the battle and not his failure. Harrar agreed, providing Khalee Lah with a Republic explosive with which to destroy his own ship as he fled the priest. Khalee Lah's ship later exploded, taking the warrior with it. (DJ)

Lah, Liaan
This Yuuzhan Vong warrior was one of the small group that supported Nei Rin's efforts to protect the remains of the Jedi Academy on Ossus, during the years following the Sith-Imperial War and the Massacre at Ossus. Liaan Lah and Choka Skell were the first to apprehend Cade Skywalker and Shado Vao, when the two Jedi stumbled upon the cavern where the Yuuzhan Vong had hidden the artifacts they had recovered from the Jedo Temple. Both warriors initially refused to back down, citing Cade's obvious ties to the pirates who had once looted the cavern. Their fears were well-founded, since it had been Cade who originally led Rav's pirates to loot Ossus, in the wake of the Sith attack there seven years earlier. Cade, however, had only told Rav about the chambers in order to survive. Masters Vao, Sazen, and K'kruhk were then forced to hide inside the academy ruins with Liaan Lah, when Sergeants Harkas and Trask arrived to investigate the appearance of the Jedi on Ossus. Liaan Lah chafed at not being able to take the fight to the Imperials, but kept quiet and waited for the Imperials to leave. (SWLG, SWLC)

Lah, Maal
A member of Domain Lah, this Yuuzhan Vong officer was placed in command of the warfleet which was dispatched to Coruscant. A disciple of Yan-Yammka, Maal Lah was known for his bold approach to warfare, but toned his plans down for Battle Plan Coruscant in order to take into account the heavy defenses arrayed by the New Republic. A kinsman of the Warmaster Tsavong Lah, Maal Lah was distinguished by his regular features, marked more by red and blue tattoos than by scars. Because of the Yuuzhan Vong's success in the Second Battle of Coruscant, Maal Lah was promoted to the rank of Supreme Commander. He was then commanded to work with Thrackan Sal-Solo to bring the Peace Brigade fleet into the Yuuzhan Vong war machine. When the New Republic attacked Ylesia and captured both Sal-Solo and the renegade Senator Pwoe, Maal Lah kept his forces in reserve to launch a counter attack. The Republic's Twin Suns Squadron, under the command of Jagged Fel, destroyed much of Maal Lah's ground forces in an effort to free the Republic's assault team. Maal Lah, already angry at losing the Republic forces as well as the Ylesian Senatr, also learned that the Twin Suns' attack had badly damaged his leg. (SBS, Y)

Lah, Qau
This Yuuzhan Vong warrior took the place of Shok Choka, after Anakin Solo defeated Shok Choka in combat aboard the space station orbiting Yag'Dhul, shortly after the Battle of Duro. Unfortunately for Qau Lah and his soldiers, they had all witnessed the fact that Nom Anor had refused to challenge of Anakin Solo, something which would have disgraced the Executor in the eyes of Warmaster Tsavong Lah. To prevent any word of his cowardice reaching the ears of his superiors, Nom Anor shot Qau Lah in the back of the head, and killed the other soldiers in a similarly cowardly fashion. (EVR)

Lah, Qurang
This Yuuzhan Vong was the creche'-brother of Warmaster Tsavong Lah. Qurang was charged with carrying out the plans of Nom Anor, in the wake of the Battle of Duro and the disaster on Yavin 4. Qurang Lah hated the fact that he was forced to work with Nom Anor, especially when the Executor's plans began to unravel near Yag'Dhul. Qurang Lah thought that he could be rid of Nom Anor once and for all upon his return to the Warmaster, having witnessed the Executor refuse a challenge from Anakin Solo. However, before they arrived, Nom Anot killed all the warriors who had been with him on Yag'Dhul, including Qurang Lah. (EVR, NJOSB)

Lah, Tsavong
This Yuuzhan Vong was the Warmaster in command of the forces led by Shedao Shai which invaded the galaxy. Because of his bravery in battle and his ability to lead others, Tsavong Lah had undergone the ritual of escalation countless times. His body, a mixture of true flesh and surge-coral implants, closely resembled that of the deity Yun-Yammka, the Yuuzhan Vong god of war. His body armor was actually grown from his flesh, with individual scales imbedded in his skin. The scales were actually living creations, and had attached themselves to his bones and distorted his limbs to a degree. He hated the fact that Nom Anor was given so much leeway by the Supreme Overlord, Shimmra, but agreed that the Jedi needed to be removed in order to take control of the galaxy. During the attack on Duro, Tsavong Lah managed to capture Leia Organa-Solo, and planned to use her as his first Jedi subject. However, Randa the Hutt sacrificed himself in order to help Leia escape, and Tsavong Lah was nearly killed in battle with Leia and her son, Jacen. Ultimately, the Warmaster left Duro without a Jedi, and without the wealth of sacrificial refugees he had hoped to obtain. In the wake of the Battle of Duro, Tsavong Lah claimed he would put an end to the hostilities and leave the Core Worlds alone, provided that the New Republic turn over Jacen Solo to the Yuuzhan Vong. He replaced the foot he lost in battle with Jacen, setting the stump with a biologically recreated vua'sa foot, further enhancing his stature among the Yuuzhan Vong. In order to ensure a victory at Coruscant and the capture of Jaina and Jacen Solo, Tsavong Lah later sacrificed his arm, but this time the implant did not take. It continued to become infected and fester, despite the taking of Coruscant and the capture of Jacen Solo. Many among the Yuuzhan Vong power structure feared that Tsavong Lah's time as Warmaster had come to an end, and even Viqi Shesh used the apparent failure of the graft to plant seeds of doubt and suspicion in he Warmaster's mind. It was Nen Yim who discovered that the radank claw was growing, and seemingly consuming the Warmaster as it developed. In order to stem the tide of the battle, the Warmaster called upon his father, Czulkang Lah, to assist in recapturing the planet Borleias and destroying the small group of New Republic forces there. The struggle for Borleias dragged on much longer than anticipated, with the Republic's forces using unanticipated techniques to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong. Tsavong Lah began rooting out the possible priests who were undermining his efforts, only to find that his real nemesis was the intelligence being gathered by Nom Anor. This only made the division between the two that much larger, and culminated in the Yuuzhan Vong's glaring defeat in the Battle of Ebaq. As the battle dragged on and more Yuuzhan Vong ships were destroyed, Tsavong Lah ordered an assault on the Jedi Knights on Ebaq 9. He nearly destroyed the Solo twins and many other Jedi, but Jaina was able to defeat him in combat. She stabbed Tsavong Lah in the throat with her lightsaber, killing one of the Yuuzhan Vong's most noted leaders and precipitating the downfall of their invasion. (DTR, JE, BP, EVR, DJ, EL1, EL2, DW)

Lah, Zhat
This Yuuzhan Vong warrior was placed in command of the small fleet which defended the planet Fondor, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When he heard the request for support from the forces in the Duro System, Zhat Lah too several ships and jumped to Duro. Once there, however, he realized that the New Republic attacks had been used as a trap, hoping to lure as many warships to Duro and trap them there. This would have provided two benefits: the destruction of Yuuzhan Vong ships at Duro, and the recapture of Fondor. Rather than throw his forces into a battle which would only end in their deaths, Zhat Lah ordered a retreat and fled Duro. He reported his return to Warmaster Nas Choka, who did not execute him for leaving the battle. Zhat Lah was commended for saving the remainder of his fleet, which would be used in later battles. (FP)

(LF8)

Lahara Sector
This area of the galaxy's Outer Rim, consisting of 245 inhabited worlds, seceded from the Old Republic shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. The planets of the Lahara Sector, which was known for its agricultural output, were heavily scrutinized by the Galactic Empire, and many were charged with treasonous activities during the years leading up to the Galactic Civil War. Planets like Agamar were bombarded by Imperial warships as a warning to other worlds that might try to rebel against the Empire. (HNN5, XWP)

Young Lahsbees resembled tiny, humanoid felines, covered in pink and blue fur and averaging less than a meter in height, and were the adolescent form of the war-loving Huhk. Lahsbees communicated in a series of chittering chirps and trills. As a species, the Lahsbees disliked advanced technology and preferred a pastoral existence. To ensure that Lahsbane was a safe place for all to live, the Huhks lived in the cities of the planet, while the Lahsbees remained in the forests and plains. In the months following the Battle of Endor, the Lahsbees found themselves at odds with the Ewoks over a romantic miunderstanding. (SWJ12, EGA, MC73, MC94)

Lahsbee
This was the non-literate form of language used by the Lahsbee, until they matured into Huhks. (ANT)

Lake of Apparitions
According to the Mind Walkers, the Lake of Apparitions was located near the Throne of Balance. One end of the Lake was surrounded by a low meadow that was strewn with boulders and hummocks, each of which cast a reflection on the lake. However, instead of seeing mirror images of these inanimate objects on the surface, visitors to the Lake of Apparitions saw reflections of other visitors who had come to the Lake. These reflections were visible about ten centimeters below the surface of the Lake, hovering just above the depths, and were the images of exceptionally strong beings whose Force presence had become separated from their physical bodies. However, the Mind Walkers were uncertain if the Lake of Apparitions was where these Force presences dwelt, or if it was simply a way for them to look out on those who were still connected to their bodies. Over time, most of the Force presences in the Lake seemed to depart, and no longer show themselves to new visitors. The other end of the Lake was known as the Mirror of Remembrance, and the deepest parts of the Lake were known as the Depths of Eternity. Any being who waded into the Lake of Apparitions found that the water was generally about calf high, although movement through the water caused no ripples or waves, nor was there any sound associated sloshing through the water.

This alien race was native to the planet Kariek. For much of their history, the Lakra were engaged in a civil war with the other race native to the planet, the Eickarie. The Lakra were the more aggressive race, and believed themselves superior to the relatively harmless Eickarie. When the Warlord took control of the planet shortly after the Battle of Naboo, the Lakra quickly threw their support to him, seeing an alliance with the Warlord as a way to continue their dominance over the Eickarie and possibly eliminate them. Decades later, when the United Tribes of Kariek was formed, the Warlord set out to disrupt any attempt to bring about a peace between the two peoples. (FB)

Lalmy'ashian Pearls
These unusual gemstones were popular - and expensive - in the Core Worlds. (GG11)

Lalo
This Twi'leki female was known as a master in the art of massage, but was rarely hired for her skills. Instead, she was presented as a "gift" to the clients of her master, who was a member of Riboga the Hutt's armed forces. Lalo was an expert in the use of needle-based massage therapy, a skill which intrigued her master. Lalo was later trained as an assassin, and used her needles to puncture vital organs of Riboga's clients. The clients eventually died of internal injuries, but their cause could never be traced back to Lalo. (LFC)

Lalos Island
Located on the planet Procopia, this island was best-known as the location of the Alaphoe Gardens. (LOE)

Lamar, Vrook
This ancient Jedi Master was a member of the Jedi Council, during the years following the Great Sith War. He was well-respected by his peers as well as his students, although many considered him a stern taskmaster. He was among the first to openly question sending Duron Qel-Droma to Korriban during the Great Hunt, fearing that the Qel-Droma blood was already tainted with the Dark Side. Master Vrook later questioned the appointment of Lucien Draay to the Jedi Council, especially after Master Vandar Tokare showed him evidence that had been acquired by Arvan Carrick, but he agreed so that the other Jedi Masters could keep a watchful eye on Draay and his actions. His skepticism only increased when Master Vandar took him into the underworld of Coruscant for a secret meeting with Shel Jelavan and Alek Squinquargesimus. It was Alek who told them of Zayne Carrick's experiences on Jebble and Odryn, and warned them of the actions of The Covenant.

Master Vrook agreed to accompany Master Vandar when he planned to meet with Zayne Carrick, but both Jedi were surprised to find that Master Xamar had found Zayne first. Their surprise turned to fear and concern when they discovered that Xamar was holding them prisoner, and threatened to kill them with his lightsaber.

Years later, when Darth Malak attacked and destroyed the Jedi Enclave of Dantooine, Master Vrook went into hiding for many years, until he was captured by Azkul and his mercenaries. Vrook would have been transported to Nar Shaddaa for the bounty on his head, if The Exile and his band hadn't intervened. Despite the fact that he was freed, Master Vrook appeared angry at being freed, and set out to locate any surviving members of the Jedi Order. However, he felt the Force connection in The Exile, and returned to his side just before The Exile was confronted by Azkul. Although The Exile did everything he could to avoid bloodshed, Azkul's brutal murder of Terena Adare started a massive firefight. After they survived the battle, Vrook provided The Exile with some insight into the Force before returning to the ruins of the Jedi Enclave. Unfortunately, Master Vrook was among the many Jedi who were killed with Darth Traya attacked and destroyed the Jedi enclave on Dantooine, some 3,952 years before the Battle of Yavin. (KOTOR, KOTOR2, T23, EGF, KOR8, KOR9)

Lamarebb
This gas giant was the innermost planet of the Lamaro System. Once every fourteen years, the orbit of Lamarebb came extremely close to that of the planet Lamarecc, resulting in an exchange of gas and energy that lit up the inner planets of the system. The resulting discharge of radiation wreaked havoc with the communications systems of Lamaredd. (GMR7)

Lamarecc
This gas giant was the second planet of the Lamaro System. Once every fourteen years, the orbit of Lamarecc came extremely close to that of the planet Lamarebb, resulting in an exchange of gas and energy that lit up the inner planets of the system. The resulting discharge of radiation wreaked havoc with the communications systems of Lamaredd. (GMR7)

Lamaredd
This untamed planet, the third and primary world in the Lamaro System of the Outer Rim Territories, was the homeworld of the Menahuun race. The Menahuun referred to the planet as "Great Menahua". Some eighty-five percent of Lamaredd's surface was covered with deep saltwater oceans, giving the few landmasses sufficient warmth to maintain a lush, tropical environment. The planet's exact location was unknown to most beings, despite its proximity to the Corellian Run. This was because Hugo Bartyn, who first discovered the planet, worked diligently to erase its location from current navigational maps. (UANT, GMR7)

Lamareddi
This was the term used on the planet Lamaredd to describe any native of the planet, regardless of race. (GMR7)

Lamaremm
This frozen ball of ice was the fourth and outermost planet in the Lamaro System. Although capable of supporting life, the planet was deemed worthless by the Outer Rim Oreworks Corporation and abandoned. Nevertheless, simple lichens and primitive microbes managed to survive in the frigid environment. (GMR7)

Lamaro
This star was the central body in the Lamaro System, located in the Outer Rim Territories. (GMR7)

Lambarian Crab
This modified YT-2400 transport was originally owned and operated by Matas Havel. After retiring, Havel sold it to Finous Crab, who gave the ship its name. Crab tore out the redundant systems and added his own modifications, turning the ship into a virtual flying coffin. This proved to be his downfall, as the life support systems failed outside of Eriadu, and Crab died when his oxygen ran out. The Lambarian Crab was later salvaged by Linx Mallicker and Fillio Androu, who used the ship to smuggle guns and weapons to the Outer Rim Territories. The Lambarian Crab was armed with a turret-mounted heavy double-laser cannon and an ion cannon. (SS)

Lambda
This Alliance shuttle was intercepted by Maarek Stele and destroyed, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. (TIEP)

Lambda
This Imperial transport vessel was assigned to accompany the freighter Genue to the Stars' End facility on Mytus VII, during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin. The Lambda was destroyed when a group of Alliance starships, led by Keyan Farlander, captured the Genue and rescued the prisoners it contained. (XWP)

Lambda Sector
This area of the galaxy was ruled by Imperial Moff Par Lankin, who set up his own little empire there following the Battle of Endor. The planets of this sector were dominated by heavy industry and starship construction centers. (WBC)

Lambda T-4a
This was another name for the of Cygnus Spaceworks T-4a Lambda-class shuttle. (LSSM)

Lambda-class Shuttle
This three-winged transport vessel was developed for use by the Empire during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The Lambda-class shuttle was designed to swiftly transport personnel and cargo between ships in the Imperial fleet. Sienar Fleet Systems developed the original design from input provided by former employees of Cygnus Spaceworks, who had been lured to Sienar by certain bonuses and rewards. Cygnus Spaceworks had produced the popular Theta-class shuttle years before, and it was the plans for the Theta-class that served as the design basis for the Lambda-class.

The Lambda-class shuttle could carry up to twenty passengers in relative safety, since the ship was protected by standard reinforced hull plating and multiple shield generators. Like the Theta-class, the Lambda-class was also fitted with a Class One hyperdrive for travel between planets or fleets. The basic Sienar Lambda-class shuttle measured twenty meters in length, and was armed with three double blaster cannons and two double laser cannons. It was designed to have a crew compliment of four, with two additional positions for communications and power regulation. The cockpit was designed to be jettisoned in case of an emergency, but only the command crew could fit inside. Thus, high-ranking personnel were given priority over other passengers.

Equipped with a Class 1 S/ig-37 hyperdrive and a powerful SFS-204 sublight drive system, the shuttle could attain speeds of 850 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. If jettisoned, the cockpit could travel over a short distance at sublight speeds.

After Sienar stopped production on the Lambda-class shuttle, the work was ironically subcontracted out to Cygnus Spaceworks, who built a number of variations on the basic design, including a military configuration as the T-4a shuttle. Note that Star Wars: Complete Cross-sections indicates that Cygnus Spacewroks was subcontracted by Raith Sienar to build additional Lambda-class shuttles, since production by Sienar Fleet Systems lagged behind the demand for the shuttle. Over time, Cygnus decided to start marketing their own variants on the design, including a civilian model. (E6, XW, EGV, NEGV, SWDB, CCS, DSTR, SSOG)

Lambent
This unusual form of plantlife was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong as a source of light-producing crystals. These crystals were used in a variety of ways, from personal light-sources to the running lights of a worldship. The lambent itself was formed from a base of green, knife-like leaves sprouting from the ground. Growing from the base were three or four stalks, atop which sat hairy, bloodred flowers. The flowers were the size of a human fist, and protected the growing crystal. A Yuuzhan Vong was required to rub and stroke the petals of the flower until they opened, a process which attuned the alien to the flower. Once the petals opened, a yellow bulb could be cut from the plant and hulled, revealing the light-giving, silicon crystal. The crystals could be "turned on" by a Yuuzhan Vong which was attuned to the crystal, and the amount of light it gave off could be regulated by mental contact with the crystal. Like all Yuuzhan Vong constructs, the lambent crystal was alive, transpiring whenever gases were available. Anakin Solo discovered that the lambent crystal he used to replace the stone in his lightsaber gave him a tenuous connection to the Yuuzhan Vong through the Force, but was unable to get more than a sense of presence. Nonetheless, it helped him recognize the presence of Yuuzhan Vong in a given area. After the Second Battle of Coruscant, the remnants of the New Republic fed false information to the Yuuzahn Vong, claiming that they were trying to grow lambents at the recaptured base on Borleias. The information claimed that the Jedi Knights had been planning to use lambent crystals in the lightsabers, to better attune themselves to the alien invaders. (EVC, EVR, EL1)

Lamborari
This corporation produced a number of exotic, luxury starships during the height of the New Order. (UYV)

Lambro Shark
This predatory fish was known for its tasty flesh, which was considered a delicacy by many races. (BF4)

Lamburt
This young man served as a Junior Officer of the Deck aboard the Bloodfin during its initial mission, serving under Admiral Gilad Pellaeon during the height of the war between the Galactic Alliance and The Confederation. (LF8)

Lameers, Aycee
This male Gran was small-time criminals who worked for Sebolto during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. A death stick addict, Lameers funded his habit by selling all manner of illicit contraband for the Dug crimelord. A bounty was issued for his capture by Pixelito Grand Council, in connection with a number of black-market activities. The bounty was claimed by Jango Fett, when the bounty hunter traveled to Malastare to meet with Sebolto. (BH)

LaMelle, Hailey
This woman was one of Namore's hottest holonews reporters, until she got caught trying to film a payoff between Prefect Gerom and Dasar Zorm. She and her cameraman, Andross, were arrested and imprisoned. (HR)

Lament
This Strike-class cruiser was part of the Imperial fleet sent to destroy the Alliance's partnership with smugglers, shortly before the Battle of Endor. (XWA)

Lamere, Alec
This young man was one of Tapani Sector's best-known saber rakes, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Just seventeen at the time of the Battle of Endor, Alec was a member of House Barnaba whose good looks made him the focus of many young ladies in the sector. He was a skilled duelist with the lightfoil, although a cybernetic left hand was a constant reminder of his only loss. His parents arranged for him to attend the Imperial Academy on Raithal when he turned eighteen, in order to put an end to his duelling. (LOE)

Lameril Ridge
This landmark, found on the planet Adumar, was the site of a war between Cartann and a rival nation. The hero of the battle was Pekaelic ke Teldan, and the honor and glory he earned in the battle helped him get elected as Cartann's perator years later. (SOA)

Lamina
This translucent material was used by the Yuuzhan Vong as a form of clothing, indicative of extremely high social and military rank. (EVR)

Lamina
This was the name of the organic building materials used by the Ferroan colonists who settled Zonama Sekot. Lamina was part of the living entity known as Sekot, and so each item made from lamina required sustenance from the planet in order to survive. (RP)

Laminanium
This was the first of the truly "regenerative," self-healing armors developed during the early decades of the New Republic. First used to protect the YVH 1 series of combat droids, laminanium was formed from metals found on the planet Brath Qella. This metal was considered "self-healing" in that it could absorb large amounts of incoming projectile or magma fire, before restoring itself to its original protective level in after a short time. This healing process required an auxiliary power pack in the droid's superstructure, as well as a stored laminanium ingot from which to "feed" the regeneration process. It was formed by alternating layers of molytex and quantum fiber. (SBS, NEGD)

Laminasteel
This material, developed on the planet Geonosis, was formed into long strings which could be woven and wrapped at high temperatures to form a wide range of shapes and configurations. Laminasteel hulls were used on Nantex-class fighters. (X2)

Lamito
This main course was known to cause severe stomach cramps and diarrhea in certain beings who were not prepared for its unusual, spicy flavor. (DSTR)

Lammas
This tree, native to the jungles of Haruun Kal, was known for its deep-brown, aromatic wood. Because the lammas tree grew only on Haruun Kal, its wood was quite expensive. (SHPT)

Lammax
This planet was located in the Danju System of Tapani Sector, which was found in the Freeworlds Region. The shadowport known as Port Bianco was situated on Lammax, established during the last years of the Old Republic and flourishing during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The presence of a nearby nebula made travel to and from the system dangerous, further hiding the shadowport from prying eyes. (LOE)

Lammin
This man served as the chief engineer aboard the warship Leveler, serving under Captain Gilad Pellaeon during the era of the Clone Wars. Chief Lammin and his crew were serving aboard the ship to monitor the upgrades it received, following the Battle of Teth. (CWNOP)

Lammu, Roaky
This was an alias used by Han Solo during his search for Reck Desh. Lammu was a freelance laser-welder. (HT)

Lamner
This Colonel with the Invids served aboard the Invidious, under the direct control of Leonia Tavira. (IJ)

Lamont Dynasty
This royal family served as the hereditary rulers of the planet Daimar, during the generations that led up to the Clone Wars. (FR)

Lamoramora MedCenter
This hospital and medical center was located on Coruscant, during the New Republic. It was located near Troglodyte Park. (REC)

Lamorrack
This Wookiee was one of many who served the New Republic as representative of the planet Kashyyyk. Along with his partner Krotorra, Lamorrack was captured and sold into slavery by Slar-dan ti Gardi and Borun Call. (SWJ8)

Lampfish
A huge fish found in the seas of Calamari, the lampfish measures about 10 meters in average length. They live in the deepest seas, and have grotesque bodies. Their heads were huge, filled with beady eyes. They have a moutful of pointed teeth, and a tongue that was bioluminescent. (DU)

Lampfly
This flying insect was commonly seen during the warm, summer months, when groups of lampflies flew about at night in large swarms that resembled masses of shooting stars. (FJ2)

Lampray, Totovia
This was one of the humorous names Garik Loran used for Lara Notsil, after she was mistaken for Edallia Monotheer by an old man on Coruscant. (SOC)

Lamproid
This was the name of an snake-like race which was the only sentient species from the planet Florn. Note that the Star Wars Customizable Card Game states that Lamproids were native to several worlds. The Lamproid's long, thick body was a mass of muscular coils that could be used to hold onto its prey. Its head was covered with light-sensitive stalks that surrounded a mouth full of multiple rows of teeth. A tendril-like tongue could be extended from the mouth in order to "taste" scents, and a milky poison was contained in the Lamproid's saliva. The Lamproid had also a stinger that was used to protect itself, and it bled purple blood.

It was believed that the Lamproid race evolved from intestinal parasites that had developed a minimal level of intelligence. Along with this intelligence, Lamproids developed a form of telepathy and mental control, which manifested itself in a form of communication that could also be used to alleviate another being's pain or force them to do simple biddings. This talent was only made more effective by the fact that most other beings regarded the Florn Lamproid as a slug-like animal. (TME, CCG7, GMR1, NEGA)

Lampuka
This word from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "cloak." (GPB)

Lamta
This simple food was commonly found on the dinner tables of the moisture farmers of the planet Tatooine. (CVD)

Lamuir Drama
These dramas, made famous during the annual Priole Danna Festival, combined elements from both Herglic and human cultures to create powerful, sweeping stories. (SWJ3, OWS)

Lamuir IV
This planet was located in Tapani Sector, and was part of the Lamuir System. It was one of only two worlds within Tapani Sector on which humans were not the dominant species. Herglics were the primary species on the planet, having settled it many thousands of years before humans discovered it. The planet's normally sensible inhabitants become frivolous during the annual Priole Danna festival. Note that this world was described as Lemuir IV in Tapani Sector Instant Adventures. (SWJ3, PGT, TSIA, OWS)

Lamuir VII
This planet, the seventh in the Lamuir System, had a single moon. (TSIA)

La'mun
This Mando'a word meant "azimuth." (OWS)

Lamus
This moon was best-known as the location of the Wellspring. Much of the planet's core was riddled with aquifers and subterranean passageways, through which the planet's water supply was constantly bubbling. The external outpouring of this water was the Wellspring, the source of all Lamus' surface water. In addition to this surface oddity, Lamus also experienced one day every thirty years when the sun didn't shine in the sky. This was due to an orbital anomaly during which Lamus precisely matches the orbit of its primary planet, thereby keeping the planet directly between it and the sun. The only thing visible in the dark sky was the coronal ring of fire surrounding the planet. Lamus was settled some ten generations before the onset of the Galactic Civil War, by a group of human colonists who came to call themselves the A'Mar. Their experience with this celestial event led to the near-religious adoration of the Wellspring, as well as the creation of The Vigil. The moon itself remained a pastoral world even after ten generations of colonization, with only a few large settlements dotting the ancient, forested landscape. The polar regions were covered with frigid deserts which were riddled with sinkholes, making travel across the poles treacherous. (WOA31)

Lan
This youth and his brothers, Mazi and Jez, were orphaned on the planet Delaya when their homeworld of Alderaan was destroyed by the first Death Star. The three brothers had begged their parents to allow them to attend a smashball tournament on Delaya, Mazi finally gained permission for them to make the trip and stay overnight. Unfortunately, Alderaan was destroyed during the tournament, stranding the boys on Delaya and leaving them as orphans. Once Leia was freed and the Delayan plot to turn her over to the Empire was discovered, Lan and his brothers decided to join the Alliance as soldiers. (RF2)

Lan
This orange star was the central body in the Lan System, located in the Outer Rim Territories. (SWJ1, OWS)

Lan, Maru
This was the name of a noted Kaminoan scientist. (UANT)

Lan, Tamo
This Carosite served as Shroud Team's medic. A native of Carosi XII, Lan was schooled in medicine before deciding to join the Alliance after killing a Twi'lek who threatened one of his patients. This act, while not condoned, was frowned upon, and he thought it best to move away from the situation. Lan served the Alliance on Baes Logia and at the Massassi base on Yavin 4 before joining Shroud Team, where he treated not only his fellow team members but the orphaned agents they brought in. He also became a sort of protector for the young Aqualish Gondara, the sister of his best friend Karlon, who was killed by Imperial forces on Bresnia. (SWJ10)

Lan Barell
The fourth planet in the Lan System, Lan Barell was an arid world of deserts and tundra. Much of the planet's water supply was contained in its small polar icecaps. The crust of the planet was laden with deposits of iron, giving it a blue sheen when viewed from space. This unusual coloration, combined with the dim red light of the star Lan, made Lan Barell a garish planet on which to exist. The planet's surface was dominated by desert wastes, with several huge plateaus forming "continents" above it.

Lan Barell was the homeworld of the Qieg race of small insectoids, who inhabited the plateaus and the Cacti Forests. The planet once had three moons, but one of them had been reduced to rubble because of Qieg mining. A small human settlement was established on the planet more than a thousand years before the onset of he Galactic Civil War, when Gaminne Group Incorporated negotiated with the Qieg for mining rights to the planet's resources. Over the centuries, the two societies became so integrated that each considered the other a joint owner of the planet.

However, in the years following the Clone Wars, Lan Barell's legal system became quite lax, and many unscrupulous operations gained a foothold on the planet. Imperialization occurred about fifteen years before the Battle of Yavin, but the Empire left the local government in place, provided that the appropriate taxes were paid on time. This lack of an Imperial presence allowed refugees, smugglers, and other members of society's lower classes to migrate to Lan Barell, where they worked a miners alongside the Qieg.

Being the only habitable world in the system, Lan Barell served as the Lan System's commercial hub. Because of this, all imports and exports moved through its spaceports. (SWJ1, OWS)

Lan Fellov
The second planet in the Lan System, Lan Fellov was a rocky wasteland that was orbited by a single natural satellite. (SWJ1, OWS)

Lan System
This star system, which included the planet Lan Barell and four other worlds, was located some three days and five hours from the end of the Enarc Run, in the Outer Rim Territories. Centered on the orange star known as Lan, the system was noted for its abundance of mineral and ore resources. The system was discovered some 1,300 years before the Battle of Yavin, and was quickly contracted to Gaminne Group Incorporated. (SWJ1, OWS)

Lan Tundi
The third planet in the Lan System, Lan Tundi was a barren rock that was orbitted by four moons. (SWJ1, OWS)

Lanah
This Corellian woman was a friend of Bria Tharen. When the Empire began exerting control over Corellia, Lanah was one of a group of rebels captured and executed. (THG)

Lance
This Alliance agent and recruiter was active on several worlds, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was based out of Corellia, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. (SWG2P)

Lance
This was the designation of a Nebulon-B2 frigate that was part of the Alliance's fleet. (XVT)

Lance
This was the term used to describe a squad of Imperial scout troopers. A lance was made up of four scout troopers and their commanding sergeant, as well as their speederbikes. Usually, each scout trooper was assigned their own speederbike, but two-man vehicles were not uncommon. (ISB, EGV)

Lance of Endor
This was the alias used by Rolf Tredium for the corvette Lialic II, during his campaign to foil the progress of the FarStar in the Kathol Outback. (KO)

Lance Squadron
This squadron of starfighters was part of Admiral Saul Karath's blockade force that protected the planet Coruscant, during the final stages of the Mandalorian Wars. Admiral Karath had been ordered to prevent the Moomo Williwaw from reaching Coruscant, after Jedi Master Lucien Draay tried to stop Zayne from presenting evidence of The Covenant's actions to the Jedi Council. Carth Onasi was placed in command of Lance Squadron, and his team managed to capture the smuggling ship. However, when Zayne fled the battle scene in the Deadweight, Onasi ordered his wingmates to stand down and let the ship escape, since they had already carried out their primary mission. (KOR9)

Lancer
The name of a mid-grade computer spike produced by MicroThrust. (CFG)

Lancer
This was the name of a group of five Imperial Lancer-class frigates assigned to protect the replenishment fleet which contained the Black Ice. (BI)

Lancer
This was one of the most common names given to male Corellians. (GMR9)

Lancer
This New Republic warship was part of the Rapid Response Task Force that was dispatched to the planet Mindor, some six months after the Battle of Endor. The ship was essentially a retrofitted freighter that was more than 100 years old at the time of the Battle of Mindor, where it was commanded by Captain Tirossk. The Lancer was known to her crew as the Old Cuss'n'Whack, referring to the first two actions that were taken whenever the ship needed repairs. In the wake of the Battle of Mindor, the Lancer and the Paleo were part of the massive evacuation effort put into motion by Luke Skywalker. General Skywalker took advantage of the fact that both ships still had their conveyor bridges intact, and had the ship captains move as close to the remains of Shadow Base as possible. Military and civilian personnel could then escape from Shadow Base along the conveyor bridge. (LSSM)

Lancer Battalion
This division of the Grand Army of the Republic was named for the fact that its clone troopers rode Aratech 105-K lancer bikes into battle, carrying power-lances to attack their targets. (SWI84)

Lancer-class Frigate
An Imperial capital ship built by Kuat Drive Yards, the Lancer-class was proposed by Admiral Drez following the Battle of Yavin. KDY built a limited number of them as test prototypes, but found that they were very expensive to build. The Lancer's primary mission was to screen off enemy starfighters early in an engagement, paving the way for large ship-to-ship combat which Imperial-class Star Destroyers were more than capable of winning. However, it was slow for its size, and Imperial commanders were forced to use the Lancer-class frigate as a picket ship. These 250-meter-long ships normally had a crew of 850, with room for 40 additional troops. The stock Lancer-class frigate was equipped with 20 quad-laser cannon batteries as weaponry, which meant that it was often underarmed against ships of similar size.

In general, the Imperial Navy came to regard the Lancer-class frigate as something of a failure, primarily because of its high cost and minimal weaponry. Several of these ships were captured by the Rebel Alliance, however, and put to use during the Galactic Civil War. The Lancer-class didn't get a fair chance to prove its worth until Grand Admiral Thrawn appeared from the Unknown Regions. He was able to put the Lancers to work in key raiding missions on New Republic worlds. (DFR, TLC, JS, ISB, EGV, SSOG)

Lancet
This small, Corellian Engineering Corporation craft was distinguished by its wingless design and long, sleek-finned fuselage. The Lancet was the primary ship used by the Judicial Department of the Old Republic, and many a criminal learned to fear the appearance of a Lancet in its immediate vicinity. (COD)

Lancet Aerial Artillery
This combination of a Lambda-class shuttle and a TIE Fighter was developed for use by the Empire as a mobile artillery platform. In addition to projectile weaponry, the Lancet was equipped with a massive proton cannon that could be used against stationary or slow-moving targets. (LAWS)

Lanchenzoor, Riga
This Corporate Sector Authority Viceprex of Finance was shrewd and ruthless in her dealings. She was lured away from a lucrative position as chief manager of the Bank of Aargauha, where she had become the youngest individual to be promoted to that position. She despised internal corruption and deceit. During the height of the New Order, she tried to separate the Authority credit from the Imperial credit, but this idea was met with considerable resistance from other Viceprexes. They feared that an Imperial backlash from the move would ruin the Authority. (CSA)

Lanclo, Eridan
This man was an independent spacer during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. A free trader by nature, Lanclo approved of the fifteen-percent Transit Tax levied by the Old Republic Senate against every passage purchased throughout the galaxy. (HNN4)

Lanclo, Ramsey
This man was an independent spacer who plied the spacelanes during the height of the New Order. He owned and operated the Chicanery during this time. (FTD)

Lancoln
This man served as one of Imperial Lord Dixton's personal bodyguards. However, he was not stupid, and would surrender if he knew he was outgunned. (SWCP)

Land Crawler
This was the generic term used about a millennium before the Galactic Civil War to describe any land-based vehicle that moved about on a set of treads. Considered by many historians to have been the predecessors of landspeeders, these vehicles continued to find widespread use in the most remote sectors of the galaxy during the era of the New Sith Wars. (DBPD)

Land Shrimp
There were several species of this large, terrestrial crustacean found across the galaxy, including a huge species native to the planet Kashyyyk, and a smaller form native to Drongar. The flesh of a land shrimp was considered a delicacy by many races. (SE, MBS)

Landar
This term from the Bocce langauge translated into Basic as "docking bay". (GPB)

L'andara, C'ar
This Twi'leki female once served as a dancing girl for Moff Julstan of Arkanis Sector, before she was captured by Talas Piran. Piran, however, decided that she would be more useful to him than to the Empire, and placed her in charge of the Ryloth-based slaving teams which worked for the Mytaranor Slaving Council. (AIR)

Landcruiser
This was a generic term used to describe any large landspeeder. (AC)

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

Landgouger
This was a type of out-dated mining equipment. (HSL)

Landhauler, Joq
This man was a soldier in the Old Republic military, and was part of the task force dispatched by Colonel Jir Tramsig to recover the head of the protocol droid L80-RC. (WOA4)

Landing Brick
KDY's F7 drop ship. (DFRSB)

Landing Claw
This starship accessory allowed a pilot to clamp his ship onto another spacecraft without docking. These devices were often used by ferries and tugs to move starships around in docking and repair facilities. (E5)

Landing Lights
This dingy café was located on the planetoid Haven, during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SOJ)

Landing Nest
This was the primary spaceport facility located on the planet Lo'Uran during the height of the New Order. (SWJ10)

Landing Pit 21
This location was where the Etherway was waiting for Wedge Antilles, at the Abregado-Rae spaceport, during his attempt to get in touch with Mara Jade. (DFR)

Landing Pit 63
Where Torve Fynn originally abandoned the Etherway at the Abregado-Rae spaceport. (HTTE, DFR)

Landing Pit 67
This was where Torve Fynn originally abandoned the Etherway at the Abregado-Rae spaceport, while he was trying to determine whether Wedge Antilles could be trusted. (DFR)

Landing Pit 8
Where the Millennium Falcon was parked on Myrkr when Han Solo and Lando Calrissian were escorted there. (HTTE)

Landing Platform 327
This was the designation of the Cloud City landing platform that the Millennium Falcon was directed to land on, when Han Solo and Leia Organa escaped from Imperial forces in the wake of the Battle of Hoth. (E5, RFDV)

Landing Shootout
This annual sharpshooting competition was founded by the leaders of Bartyn's Landing on Lamaredd, during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. The competition was won ten years in a row by Mix Liddell, until he graciously retired from competition. The first-place winner received a hand-made slugthrower pistol crafted by Liddell himself, while the first and second runners-up received cash awards from the Bartyn family. The event eventually became one of the few holidays celebrated on Lamaredd, although it was carefully monitored by the Outer Rim Oreworks security force to ensure no revelers got out of hand. The competition itself was open to any being who wished to participate, but few shooters made it past the third round. After each round, targets were moved farther away from the shooter, and competitors were forced to hit targets with greater accuracy, until a single shooter bests all remaining participants. (GMR7)

Landing Stage 472

Landing, The
see Bartyn's Landing (GMR7)

Landing, The
This was the only mining settlement to remain standing on the planet Engebo V, after the Outer Rim Oreworks facilities on the planet were abandoned. It became the planet's most populous location, and the site of its only active spaceport. Shortly after the Madman's Fortune crashed onto Engebo V, a school of skekfish was inadvertently released by Nell Davengatt. Nell and her companions had gone to check out the crash, and opened Goontirk's escape pod to investigate. The skekfish burrowed into the ground and sped toward the nearest food source, killing many beings in The Landing before they could be contained. (WOA10)

Landkiller One
This was Davin Felth's callsign on his first solo AT-AT training mission. It was on this mission that he discovered the vulnerability of the walker's exposed legs. (TME)

Landmark Holiday
This generic holiday was celebrated on the planet Brentaal, whenever a major event occurred. Depending on the nature of the event being celebrated, a Landmark Holiday could last as long as a week. (SWJ14)

Landmark Preservation Office
This branch of the government of Dellalt was charged with preserving the planet's historical buildings. Among their primary responsibilities were the various vaults and other prominent features constructed on Dellalt by Xim the Despot. The primary headquarters of the Landmark Preservation Office were actually housed in one of the primary vaults, which was left empty after the death of Xim and the loss of the Queen of Ranroon. Over time, this office was infiltrated by the Survivors, who worked to help keep the location of the Queen of Ranroon and Xim's treasure a secret. (HSL)

Lando System
This was the unofficial term, coined by Lando Calrissian himself, to describe the methods he hoped to employ in the management of the Cloud City mining outpost. Under the so-called Lando System, everything would run smoothly, ensuring the maximum benefit for all beings who worked on Cloud City. (PH)

Landocaptainmaster
This was the name used by Lehesu to address Lando Calrissian. Its length and the number of honorifics used indicated that Lehesu considered Lando to be on a level with the Elders of the Oswaft. (LCS)

Landor System
During the last decades of the Old Republic, this planetary system was avoided by most travellers because of the large amount of pirate activity found within it. (DR)

Lando's Commandos
This was the unofficial name of the group of mercenaries and soldiers assembled by Lando Calrissian to recapture Cloud City from the Empire, shortly after the Battle of Endor. (T5, NEGC)

Lando's Folly
This asteroid system, located near the planets Destrillion and Dubrillion, was purchased by Lando Calrissian and used to mining as well as intense forms of starship racing. The race course was actually a way for Lando to develop a way to get to Kerane's Folly, the legendary platinum asteroid hidden in Hoth's asteroid belt. Lando hoped to develop ways to find the asteroid, mine it, and protect his claim from other hunters by monitoring the races and the reactions of the pilots to the asteroids. Lando also developed a method of using remote-controlled repulsors to protect the ships from bumping into the asteroids. Always looking for ways to save money, Lando obtained several decommissioned TIE Advanced x1 starfighters and TIE Bombers for use in flying through the asteroids. Lando's technicians developed a system known as collision shields, a combination of repulsor fields, shields, and defensive arrays to protect the small ships, all of which were operated from a remote station like Belt-Runner I. The idea of running the field was to stay operative as long as possible, thereby providing Lando with a way to remain within the Hoth asteroid belt long enough to find and mine Kerane's Folly. Kyp Durron held the record for duration until Jaina Solo more than doubled it on her first run. (VP)

Landra
This small, twisting piece of land was the smaller of the two continents of the planet Lianna. (ML)

Landric
This Imperial Moff was in control of Emmo sector during the height of the New Order. His wife, the Lady Landric, was a native of the planet Danteel. During a vacation at Margath's on Elshandruu Pica, her stunning necklace of three corusca gems in a mythra setting was stolen, then returned, by the infamous Tombat. The Moff ordered the Imperial Office of Criminal Investigation to bring in the Tombat. (SWJ8)

Landru City

Lands, Alexir
This man was married to Enna Lands, and was the father of Roan Lands. Neither Alexir nor Enna held any ill feelings for Ferus Olin, who was present when Roan was murdered by Darth Vader. In fact, they were both pleased to see Ferus when he returned to Bellassa during the Nine Days of Mourning for Roan. They explained to Ferus that Roan had told them about his plans to infiltrate the Empire, and wished him the best on his mission. (LJ8)

Lands, Enna
This woman was married to Alexir Lands, and was Roan Lands' mother. Neither Alexir nor Enna held any ill feelings for Ferus Olin, who was present when Roan was murdered by Darth Vader. In fact, they were both pleased to see Ferus when he returned to Bellassa during the Nine Days of Mourning for Roan. They explained to Ferus that Roan had told them about his plans to infiltrate the Empire, and wished him the best on his mission. (LJ8)

Lands, Lilia
This woman was Roan Lands' aunt. She died about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. (LJ8)

Lands, Malory
This young woman was the daughter of Lilia Lands, and was Roan Lands' first cousin. Malory trained at the Chancellor Palpatine Surgical Reconstruction Center on Coruscant, during the era of the Clone Wars, but returned to Bellassa after the establishment of the Galactic Empire. She had been offered a job at the facility, which had been nationalized and renamed as the Emperor Palpatine Surgical Reconstruction Center, but refused to work for the Empire.

When she participated in the Nine Days of Mourning after Roan's death, Malory was reunited with Ferus Olin. It was Ferus who asked her to reconsider the job at EmPal SuRecon, since it would allow her to give him access to the facility and locate any Jedi who were being held there. When Jenna Zan Arbor was injected with her own memory-loss agent and was stripped of the knowledge on its production, Malory agreed to delve into Zan Arbor's research to discover its make-up. She was able to create a single dosage of the memory agent, which Ferus used to remove the memories of Trever Flume, so that they young man could have a normal life with Astri Oddo and Clive Flax. The two sets of research and the drug itself were then utterly destroyed, ensuring that it did not fall into the hands of the Empire. (LJ8, LJ10)

Lands, Roan
This man was a native of the planet Bellassa, during the last years of the Old Republic. He grew up in the city of Ussa, a member of an extended family that was full of love and laughter. His parents remained in Ussa after he left home to pursue his own career. It was also believed that Lands was an officer in the Grand Army of the Republic, and it was during his service that he met Ferus Olin. The two became fast friends, and after the Clone Wars they retired to Bellassa and created the Olin/Lands Agency in Ussa. Ferus later explained that it was Roan's family who took him in after the destruction of the Jedi Order, and helped him get back on his feet. The idea for the agency had been Ferus', but Roan sold off all his assets to fund it. The business was set up to assist those Bellassans who had exposed criminals and were placed in witness-protection programs, providing them with new identities and new homes.

After the Empire arrived on Bellassa and replaced the elected governor with an Imperial supporter, their work became more involved with protecting those individuals who blew the whistle on corruption officials. Their experiences led them to form the Eleven and begin speaking to the Bellassan population about refusing to submit to Imperial control, which earned them positions on the Empire's wanted lists. They remained free for a while, but were eventually cornered by stormtroopers. Ferus managed to escape, but Roan was captured and interrogated. He was later recovered and brought to Doctor Amie Antin, who was unable to treat him without knowing what drugs had been used on him.

Obi-Wan Kenobi managed to infiltrate the Imperial garrison and find the information, which allowed Doctor Antin to treat Roan and restore him to health. Roan later helped Ferus establish a base of operations on a hidden asteroid, bringing all manner of supplies to help his friend create a safeworld for any surviving members of the Jedi Order. However, upon returning to Bellassa, Roan was arrested and scheduled for execution aboard the True Justice. His imprisonment lasted only a short while, as Ferus allowed himself to be captured while ensuring that Roan was freed. Roan agreed to stay with the other rebels at Ferus' asteroid base, and helped out with much of the base's operations.

When Trever Flume arrived at the base with Flame, Roan agreed to accompany them back to Bellassa, in an effort to recruit the Bellassan rebels into the Moonstrike group. In the city of Ussa, Roan secretly met with Ferus, hoping to convince his old friend to abandon his double-agent role and return to the Bellassan resistance. Roan then told Ferus that he would accompany him back to his secret asteroid base, to help with running the base while Ferus sought out other Jedi. Unfortunately for both men, they were captured in the Imperial offices in Ussa by Darth Vader. In order to show Ferus who was in control, Vader ignited his lightsaber and slashed Roan through the chest, killing him almost instantly. Ferus himself was captured, and had to confront not only his impending death but the death of his best friend. (LJ1, LJ2, LJ5, LJ6, LJ7)

Lane, Fitzgibbon
This was the alias used by Lando Calrissian, when he agreed to help get a Jedi strike team "captured" in order to get them closer to the voxyn queen on Myrkr. Lane was the captain and owner of the Stardream, and willingly turned the Jedi over to Duman Yaght and the Yuuzhan Vong. Fitzgibbon was supposedly a native of Talfaglio, and was once a supporter of the Jedi. However, he was turning the Jedi over to the Yuuzhan Vong because he believed them responsible for the destruction of his homeworld. (SBS)

This native of Lankashiir was a childhood friend of Celia Durasha. Adion's father was a strict taskmaster who demanded the best from all his children. After hearing Reise Durasha talk of the glory of the military, Adion left Lankashiir and attended the Imperial Academy at Raithal, and rose through the ranks to become an officer of the Imperial Security Bureau. He had a small detachment with which he worked to uncover the source of support for the Alliance in Relgim Sector, and had traced a supply of guns and weapons to Detien Kaileel. When he boarded the Kuari Princess in hopes of capturing Kaileel, he encountered his childhood love, Celia Durasha. Instead of recruiting her help, though, Lang incurred her wrath as she began to understand what the Empire was all about. (TFE, SWJ8)

Lang, Marja

Langhesi
Originally from the planet Langhesa, this race of humans was enslaved by the Tsinimals about 100 years before the Battle of Naboo. The Tsinimals took their Langhesi slaves all over the galaxy, leaving small pockets of Langhesi culture on many worlds. The Langhesi were known as farmers, and could mold the elements of life into previously-unseen forms. This form of genetic manipulation was regarded as a sin against the Tsinimal gods, resulting in the conquest of Langhesa. Those Langhesi which inhabited the lowlands of Zonama Sekot were employed by the original Magister as the forgers and shapers of Sekotan technology, for their skills with organic materials complimented the patterns of growth observed among the boras. (RP)

Although Hsoosh fell out of common usage more than two millennia before the Second Galactic Civil War, the upper classes continued to maintain it as a way to distinguish themselves from the common masses. (FJ3)

Language of Flowers
Developed on the planet Alderaan, this was as much a form of artwork as it was a style of communication. By arranging certain types of flowers in a certain way within an arrangement, the florist could convey a very specific message. The types of flowers used, including their size and relative placement, all contributed to this complex form of communication. They also contributed to the overall beauty of the floral arrangement. By using these techniques, lovers could send messages to each other without speaking a word, and enemies could threaten each other while appearing to be civil. (LF1)

L'ani, Cir
This man was a native of Belasco, and owned a V-Wing cruiser some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. It was later revealed that this was an alias used by Ona Nobis to smuggle herself and R'aya Noor onto Belasco, in an effort to draw Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi into Jenna Zan Arbor's trap. (TDR)

This Shyriiwook word was used as the suffix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "growl" or "roar". It could be attached to a prefix by itself, or combined with other suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)

Lannah
This was one of the most common names given to female Corellians. (GMR9)

Lannik
This planet, located along the border between the Expansion Region and the Mid Rim, was the homeworld of the Lannik race. During the final decades of the Old Republic, the planet was thrown into turmoil by a group of terrorists led by the enigmatic being known as the Chosen One. If not for the efforts of its armed forces, as well as the efforts of the Lannik Jedi Master, Even Piell, the Chosen One's forces would have overthrown the government. Instead, a period of unease led up to the time of the Battle of Naboo. (IG1)

Lannik
This species of short, paled-skinned humanoids was native to the planet Lannik. They were distinguished by their large, pointed ears and their warrior-like society. The soldiers of the Lannik armed forces wore their hair in a single topknot. Although many regarded the Lannik as hotheaded and tempermental, they were quite fearless and clear-headed even in combat, giving them the ability to think their way out of a dangerous situation.

The Lannik were first encountered by a group of Duros and Human explorers, and their initial experiences with galactic technology split their society into factions with differing thoughts on how to integrate that technology into their society. When small conflicts broke out among rival factions, criminal organizations moved into assist the Lannik, which then prompted the Old Republic to limit the amount of technology exported to the planet Lannik. This only served to increased the flow of technology to the Lannik, as well as entrenching criminal organizations on the planet.

When the New Order was instituted by Emperor Palpatine, the Lannik were all but forgotten. Most Lanniks preferred to remain on their homeworld, where they were able to govern themselves without outside interference.

His command was respected by his subordinates, and his natural leadership abilities earned him the recognition of his peers. When he captured Sayer Mon Neela, Lanox found himself emotionally attracted to her. When she and her aide, Raan Stasheff, tried to escape, Lanox found that he liked her too much to simply kill her outright. When the Starcrossed arrived to rescue her, Captain Lanox actually assisted her to an escape route, as the Imperial Hazard was wracked by explosions. He kissed her full on the mouth, as payment for his help, before shoving her into the escape hatch. Captain Lanox was later rewarded with the Distinguished Medal of Imperial Honor, by Grand Admiral Takel himself, for his heroism in the face the Alliance's defense of Horob. (SWJ10)

Lans, Hyoca
This Caamasi philospher was one of many beings who believed that wealthy beings had a duty to serve as benefactors for the rest of the galaxy. According to Lans, "The problem in galactic society at large is not that there are too many poor sentients - it's that there are too few rich ones." (CN2)

Lansel, Olaver
This mousy man was a Colonel in the Imperial Army, and served under Moff Kentor Sarne on Kal'Shebbol until he had a falling-out with Sarne.

Lant Mining Corporation
This corporation, founded by Darman Lant during the last decades of the Old Republic, originated in the Inner Rim. After gaining enough financial resources, Lant and the LMC petitioned the Republic for the rights to develop Brak Sector. After being given permission, LMC developed more than sixty bases of operation in twenty-five star system. However, reports of poor living and working conditions - perpetuated by LMC's greedy management - forced the Republic to take back control of Brak Sector. Lant Mining Corporation floundered for many years after losing control of the sector. Shortly before the fall of the Republic, LMC righted itself after discovering a source of prismatic crystals in the Asran System. Then, the Empire took control of Brak Sector, LMC pledged its support for the Empire in order to remain as independent as it could. LMC continued to be the primary economic force in the Sector, and the financial fortunes of Brak Sector mirrored LMC's own fortunes. (HAS, FBS)

A short-haul transport ship, the Lantillian Deluxe measures 27 meters from bow to stern. It was crewed by two beings, and had room for six passengers. Many Lantillian Deluxe transports were modified for use as pleasure craft. The basic design centers around a pair of long pods which were connected and attached to the drive system. The ship had a pair of stabilizer fins which can be deployed for control in an atmosphere and for defense in space. (SWCP)

Lantillian ShipWrights
This small starship designer was best known for the GX1 Short Hauler. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Lantillian was absorbed by TaggeCo, and many of the corporation's designers were fired. (SS)

Lantillian Short Hauler
This 27-meter ship was the pleasure version of the Lantillian Deluxe. Designed and manufactured by the Lantillian ShipWrights corporation, this craft was designated GX1 by the corporation. This two-person craft can transport up to 80 metric tons of cargo and up to six passengers. The ship had a bulbous cockpit at the front, with a flattened fuselage behind. A pair of starbilizing wings was connected to the rea portion of the fuselage. It was designed to bring affordable luxury to the average citizen. The Short Hauler required a crew of four to operate, and had enough space for six passengers. The basic version was also armed with a civilian-grade turbolaser cannon. While the craft was considered to be a rugged, durable ship, the Short Hauler suffered from finicky landing gear, which had to be routinely cleaned and lubricated. Also, a number of Short Haulers were recalled for faulty sensor suites, when it was learned that a shipment of Fabritech 7Y4 sensors were found to be bad. (SWJ9, SWCP, SS, HNN4)

Lantillian Spacers' Brotherhood
A second-rate version of the Corellian Merchants' Guild, the Brotherhood was open to any spacer who applies. It provides many of the same services as the CMG, but doesn't have messaging or financial services.

The various Lantillian guildhouses offer moderate accomodations to their members. (GG9)

Lantillian Spacers' Brotherhood Guildhouses
These exclusive establishments were build on a number of worlds throughout the galaxy, although entrance to a guildhouse facility was limited to those beings who were members of the Lantillian Spacers' Brotherhood.

Lanvarok
This ancient polearm was essentially a long-handled axe. However, hidden inside the head of the axe was a spring-loaded disk launcher that could fire thin, metal disks. Because the range of these disks was limited, the lanvarok was still considered a melee weapon; many weapons experts have also called it a "ranged polearm." The fact that it could expel razor-sharp disks made it a very formidable melee weapon. A disk was released whenever the wielder swung the lanvarok forward and snapped it back. Multiple disks could be released with a longer swing. The lanvarok became the inspiration for the Sith lanvarok. (NEGW)

Lao, Korman
This ancient being was a member of the Kanzer Exiles, more than 100,000 years before the onset of the Clone Wars.

Lao-mon Slider
This was one of the signature slider sandwiches that were found on the menu of Dex's Diner, during the final years of the Old Republic. The name of the sandwich came from the homeworld of the Shi'ido race, which served as the inspiration for the dish. In reference to the way that a Shi'ido could change their appearance, the Lao-mon Slider could be made from any combination of ingredients. Thus, it was different for individual diners, who could also enjoy a unique sandwich each time they visited the restaurant. (OWS)

Lap

Lar, Kira
This woman served as a soldier for the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. A native of Corellia, she was waiting for transport to the IMperial Academy on Carida when she learned of the destruction of Alderaan. Kira and her companions overpowered the shuttle's crew and forced them to land on Agamar, where they joined the Alliance. Since that time, Kira had jhad a knack for being in the midst of the action. Immediately after joining the Alliance, Kira was assigned to the ground crew at the Massassi Base on Yavin 4, and was promoted to corporal at Echo Base just prior to the Battle of Hoth. She was later chosen to be on General Crix Madine's personal staff, and was part of the team which planned the ground assault during the Battle of Endor. (SWRPG, WOTC)

Lar, Zoul Lavor Xariv
This legendary Bitthaevrian warrior was a Major in the Guiteica Militia, and was best-known for his decades-long feud with Major Quaal Stavi Giniras. The pair fought each other more than 400 times, each time inflicting heavy damage to the other. However, both warriors were back challenging each other as soon as they healed. Over fifty years' time, Lar had defeated Giniras 212 victories to 211. Only the fact that Giniras died of old age stopped the rivalry. In the end, Lar took one of his own elbow quill and imbedded it in Giniras' dematoil, which he buried with Giniras in the hills of s'Korth'an. (AIR)

Larado had met Solo after he disembarked, offering him a job smuggling jandarra underneath the Shalamite tariff. When Fett arrived to try and kill Solo, one of his shots caught Incavi, killing her instantly. (TBH)

Laramont
This man was one of the technicians who helped maintain the Hawkbat's Vigil. (WS)

Laramus
The primary planet in the Laramus System of Parmic Sector, Laramus was the site of an Alliance ambush on an Imperial convoy. The Alliance cruiser Visseon II came out of hyperspace with its weapons firing, taking the convoy by surprise. The Imperials quickly recognized that there was only a single ship attacking them, and they split the convoy into multiple groups. While the Visseon II was busy with one small group, the others attacked. At this point, Alliance reinforcements arrived, decimating the Imperial ships and taking control of fourteen fully-loaded transports. The Alliance suffered no losses during the skirmish, and was able to establish a base of operations on the planet. The presence of this base proved to be problematic for Tagg Pierce, who had been discharged from Alliance service and had formed the Laramus Base Irregulars. An Imperial retaliation on the Alliance forces on the planet forced Pierce and his men to abandon the planet, and large portions of the planet were laid to waste in the attack. (SWSB, GG9, OWS)

Laramus Base Irregulars
This small, ragtag company of rebellious soldiers specialized in extremely dangerous missions, many of which were certain to lead to death in battle. Led by former Alliance military officer Tagg Pierce, the Laramus Base Irregulars were referred to in the mercenary business as "dead men," because they made more trouble for themselves than for their opponents. Over their history, the Irregulars experienced a ninety-six percent turnover rate, and suffered more than fifty-percent casualties in the battles they fought. The group decided to operate from a base on the planet Laramus, hoping to distance themselves from the Galactic Civil War, but the Alliance cell there continued to grow. The Empire arrived and destroyed much of the planet, forcing the Laramus Base Irregulars to search out a new base. Pierce decided to keep the group mobile, moving from location to location to recruit new members and prevent the government from locating them. In the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, the Irregulars allied themselves with the New Republic and worked to seek out and destroy pockets of Imperial control. (GG9, SWJ15, OWS)

Lararyc

Larbo
This man, a native of the planet Kuat, was one of the leaders of a rebellious cell of individuals who tried to fight back against the oppression of the Kuati barons. During the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis, Larbo and his rebels tried to fight back against the virtual enslavement of the lower classes. In order to restore some semblance of peace, the Kuati barons hired Jango Fett to eliminate Larbo's band. Unknown to Larbo, the Kuati barons were acting on orders from Count Dooku, who was trying to win their support for the growing Separatist movement. Jango used his own son, Boba, as a distraction, allowing the boy to infiltrate Larbo's camp and throw off his defenses. Larbo, recognizing a possible bargaining chip, kidnapped Boba and held him as protection. Larbo was unprepared for Jango's used of his own son as bait, and was startled when Jango burst into his camp. He released Boba and tried to flee, but Jango killed him with a thermal detonator before he could go too far. (T18)

Largetto and Senator Des'sain, accompanied by Jedi Master J'oopi She', accepted the cargo that Duurmun and Tobb had carried through the Separatist blockade aboard the Stellar Envoy. The cargo was little more than a small case, but Largetto explained that it was extremely important to the Senators' cause. (MF)

Lark
This frigate was apprehended by the Rand Ecliptic, just prior to the Battle of Yavin. Resembling a stubby version of the Nebulon-B frigate, the Lark was on a mission from the Camblian Order, to deliver students to the Clarion Scholars Academy on Daemen, when it was intercepted. When the ship's crew could not provide proper Imperial identification codes, the ship was ordered to stand down and prepare for boarding. However, the TIE Fighters sent to intercept it managed to fire on its main reactor, setting off a chain reaction that ripped the Lark apart in a violent explosion. Among the pilots who fired on the Lark was Tars Nandy, who was later captured by Derek "Hobbie" Klivian during his mutiny aboard the Rand Ecliptic. (SWED)

Larken
This pirate operated a small fleet of ambush ships, led by the Pillage, during the height of the New Order. He and his partners, Sahr, Druug, and Bak, once tried to attack the lowly freighter known as Kizbon's Box. They were unaware that it was actually an Interceptor-class Helix freighter, more than well-enough armed to handle the pirates. Two of Larken's ships were destroyed before he was forced to surrender. (SWJ5)

Larker, Aaren
This tall, gray-haired man served as the Prime Minister of the planet Samaria, during the early months of the New Order. He was forced to provide Bog Divinian, who had been named an Imperial Advisor by Sano Sauro, full access to the city of Sath, after a computer virus had literally shut down the entire city. Thus, he was somewhat surprised when Ferus Olin arrived to investigate the virus as well. Luckily, Ferus discovered the cause of the disruption before Divinian did. Under Larker's direction, Astri Oddo had adopted the alias of Quintus Farel and had taken a job as a programmer, servicing the Platform-7 supercomputer. In this guise, Astri was able to create a virus that would shut down certain computer systems, creating chaos and disruption that would forestall Imperial occupation of Samaria. This would give the Sathans time to plan an organized resistance to Imperial control, and would also disrupt Bog Divinian's search for Astri and her son, Lune. Larker then hoped that Astri and Lune could escape. Ferus made sure that their succeeded, stalling Darth Vader long enough for Solace to arrive with the True Justice and whisk them to safety. Larker was forced to accept the public's uproar in the wake of the computer disruption, and many within the Hall of Ministers began to whisper of a vote of no-confidence in his ability to continue leading Samaria. His standing with the public was poorly affected by his support of a trade agreement with the Roshans, especially in the wake of a supposed Roshan attempt to assassinate Bog Divinia. Unknown to Larker was the fact that Divinian had engineered the assassination attempt, as part of a plan to discredit the Roshans and ensure that he was elected to replace Larker. Divinian's plans worked to perfection, and Larker was arrested and charged with conspiracy as soon as he was voted out of office. (LJ5, LJ6)

Larm
This former Imperial Navy Admiral served under Moff Gentelles in the years after the Battle of Yavin. He was a by-the-book officer, who tended to kiss more boots that he polished. He rose through the Naval ranks on Getelles' coattail, maintaining his tough soldier exterior while bending to Getelles' every wish. It was Larm who commanded the Imperial fleet which blockaded Leia Organa-Solo and the Alliance agents sent to rescue her. Larm was killed in the battle, when Luke Skywalker and the Spook-crystal tsil on Nam Chorios used the Force to turn the Loronar Needles against the Reliant, just as the small ship docked with Larm's Carrack-class cruiser. The Reliant, taking Larm's ship with it. His fleet was forced back into the Antemeridian Sector when Daala's independent fleet arrived to supplement the Republic's ships. (POT)

Larn, T'laerean
This young, Sullustan male discovered that he was sensitive to the Force while growing up on his homeworld of Gelgelar. T'laerean learned that he could enter the mind of another creature, starting with the reeho birds and small primates of the swampy jungles. T'learean had to have physical contact with his companion, but then could place his own consciousness inside the mind of the other creature. T'laerean could then travel a short distance within the companion, and had to return the creature to his sleeping form in order to return to his own body. T'laerean trained under the Wise Man of Kooroo, but was impetuous and young. While melding with a reeho bird, T'laerean learned of a Glarsaur attack on his village. Unfortunately, the reeho was caught by the child Reanyn, who mother planned to kill the bird and use it in a stew. This would have left T'larean's mind adrift. The situation worsened when Reanyn believed T'laerean was dead in his bed, having fallen into a deep sleep while controlling the bird. Although the reeho managed to escape, it was soon captured by a Glarsaur who tried to eat it alive. His consciousness suddenly fled back to his body as the reeho died, but T'laerean had a headache for many days after. (SWJ14)

Laron, Kyr
This woman was a highly-skilled assassin, and was hired by Gornt Seron to eliminate specific targets. She carefully maintained the rumors and appearance that Kyr Laron was a man, and used an associate named Shiaer Hifron to conduct most of her business. Kyr was fond of using highly-toxic, poisonous gases and neurotoxins to kill her victims, a clue which gave the New Republic information about her activities. She moved about often, to avoid detection, and spent most of her travel time in her personel starship, the Incom Explorer Scout ship known as the Hell's Axe. (WBC)

LaRone, Daric
A native of the planet Copperline, this man was one of the many Imperial Stormtroopers who were stationed aboard the Star Destroyer Reprisal during the months following the Battle of Yavin. He had enlisted in the Imperial military nearly ten years earlier, having been dazzled by the opportunity to serve the Empire and see the galaxy, especially after Imperial forces rid his homeworld of pirates. Over time, however, he became disillusioned with the Empire, and questioned his continued loyalty to its ideals.

After LaRone was forced to kill civilians in order to subjugate planets like Elriss and Bompreil, and in the wake of the destruction of Alderaan, LaRone began to serious consider resigning his commission and joining the growing Rebellion. His sentiments were shared, but not openly voiced, by Taxtro Grave and the other members of his squad. Thus, they were not totally surprised when ISB agent Dreflin accused them of deliberately missing shots, when ordered to fire on a group of suspected Alliance sympathizers on the planet Teardrop. What did surprise LaRone and his squad was the fact that LaRone pulled out his blaster and shot Major Dreflin dead before he could arrest them. With little future left in the Empire, the squad stole Dreflin's Suwantek TL-1800, the Gillia, and fled in the ship.

Upon arriving at Drunost, LaRone found himself being elected the team's new leader, a role that he accepted with his comrades' support, especially since it had been LaRone who took the initiative to kill Major Dreflin. It was on Drunost that the squad was nicknamed the Hand of Judgment, when the stormtroopers agreed that they needed to continue uphold the Empire's basic tenets of peace and security, even if they couldn't serve under its commanders. After several run-ins with the agents of the BloodScar Pirates, the stormtroopers found themselves mixed up with Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, who were working with a group of farmers on the planet Drunost. For his own part, Solo tried to remain aloof, and posited that the BloodScars might have been working to establish their own version of the Alliance in Shelsha Sector. LaRone tried to keep his own unit's identity a secret, claiming that they were from Consolidated Shipping Security.

Their investigation led them to the BloodScar base on Gepparin, where they were inadvertently intercepted by the Reprisal. Thanks the skills of Solo and his co-pilot, Chewbacca, the group was able to avoid being recaptured and fled into space. It was in the wake of their escape that Solo and his friend, Luke Skywalker, explained to the stormtroopers that all the rebels had been evacuated from the planet Teardrop by the time the Reprisal arrived. This only served to put their loyalties into further doubt, but they remained dedicated to upholding Imperial law.

Continuing their investigation, LaRone and his comrades followed the trail to Shelkonwa, where they found themselves commandeered by Mara Jade, who was investigating Governor Barshnis Choard's role with the BloodScars. They were nearly forced to turn themselves in, until Jade explained that the Hand of Judgment was working for her. After ensuring Choard's arrest and completing her investigation, Jade demanded the truth from LaRone and his comrades. Their explanation seemed to suit her, as she allowed them to disappear, giving them the chance to escape from Imperial service and set off on their own. (A)

Lars, Bail
This was the alias used by Anakin Solo when he infiltrated the Shapers' compound on Yavin 4 with Vua Rapuung. (EVC)

Lars, Beru Whitesun
This woman married Owen Lars. Note that the Star Wars Screen Entertainment software package gave Beru's maiden name as Weth, although the official Star Wars website provides the name Whitesun. She was a native of Mos Eisley, and she rarely dreamed of anything but a simple life with Owen. Their life on Tatooine lacked the demands of "normal" life, being rewarding in the work both partners did each day. Beru was also a good friend to Owen's father, Cliegg, verbally sparring with the elderly man in a way that only a few people could do.

Shortly before they were married, their life was jolted by the death of Owen's stepmother, Shmi Skywalker Lars, but they were married shortly afterward. Although life was hard, Beru and Owen enjoyed the work. Their lives were interrupted when Obi-Wan Kenobi asked them to adopt Luke Skywalker, in the wake of the Clone Wars and the death of Senator Padme' Amidala. Obi-Wan appealed to Beru's feminine side with Luke's plight, and she convinced Owen to accept the boy into their family.

They lived as a family for nearly two decades, until Owen purchased the droids known as R2-D2 and C-3PO, unaware of the fact that the Empire wanted to find the droids. Beru and Owen were killed when stormtroopers, following the information trail left by C-3PO and R2-D2, razed their farm in search of the droids. The homestead was incinerated by blaster fire from an Imperial floating fortress, and the bodies of Owen and Beru were dragged out into the open, as evidence of what would happen to any being who opposed the will of the Empire. (E4, SCRE, E4R, OWS, E2, E2N, SWI93)

Lars, Cliegg
Originally native to the planet Tatooine, Cliegg left his homeworld for the Core World planet of Ator at a young age, hoping to escape the drudgery of a moisture farmer's life. However, after meeting his wife, Akia, and planning to have a family, Cliegg realized that Ator's cramped cities were no place to raise a family. The birth of his first son, Owen, made Cliegg stop and take inventory of his life. Unfortunately, Akia was killed shortly after Owen's birth, and Cliegg decided to travel back to Tatooine and raise his son on the family farms. Years later, Cliegg fell in love with a slave named Shmi Skywalker. He purchased her freedom, then asked her to marry him. He was elated when she agreed, and they lived for five years in relative bliss. When a group of Tusken Raiders began attacking the outlying moisture farms, Cliegg and Owen did everything they could to protect their homestead. Cliegg purposely underestimated the threat in order to calm Shmi and Owen's girlfriend, Beru Whitesun, but this led to Shmi's leaving the house one morning to pick mushrooms from the moisture vaporators. She was captured by the Tuskens and brutally tortured. Cliegg and Owen, along with nearly thirty neighbors, launched an assault on the Tusken camp. Cliegg was the first to fall in the struggle, his leg severed by a thin wire strung across the dunes. Owen rescued his father and returned, but with only four others from the original raiding party. Clieg healed, but was confined to a hoverchair. Unable to help Shmi, Cliegg was despondent for many weeks, until Anakin Skywalker arrived on Tatooine to search for his mother. Cliegg described the events that led up to Shmi's capture, then allowed Owen to loan a swoop to Anakin. Unfortunately, Anakin returned with Shmi's lifeless body. She had died shortly after being set free, and Anakin executed the entire Tusken clan. Cliegg had Shmi buried in the family plot, beside his parents. When Cliegg himself died years later, Owen buried him next to Shmi, but removed the headstones to ensure that no one would come looking for Shmi's body. (OWS, TCG1, E2, VD2, SWDB, TG)

Lars, Edern
This young man was Cliegg Lars' younger brother. Unfortunately, Edern died at the age of fourteen in a speeder accident while riding in the family's V-35 landspeeder. He was buried beside his parents, just outside the Lars family moisture farm on Tatooine. (SWI71, IWE2)

Lars, Lef
This man was Cliegg Lars' father. He was buried with his wife, Gredda, beneath a single tombstone outside the Lars family moisture farm on Tatooine. (SWI71)

Lars, Owen
Perhaps best-known as Luke Skywalker's adoptive uncle, Owen Lars was once believed to be the younger brother of Obi-Wan Kenobi. According to this urban legend, Owen was always expected to live up to his brother's greatness. Owen did not want that kind of pressure, so he and his young wife, Beru Weth, moved to Tatooine and set up a moisture farm.

It was later revealed that Owen had no familial relation to the former Jedi Master, but was actually the son of Cliegg Lars. Owen was born on the planet Ator, but was quickly moved to Tatooine after the death of his mother, Akia Lars. His relationship to Obi-Wan Kenobi would emerge many years later, when Cliegg married the former slave known as Shmi Skywalker. This marriage made Owen and Anakin Skywalker half-brothers. Owen wondered about his distant relative, but never thought to actually meet him, given that Anakin was in training to become a Jedi Knight.

Owen was a likable young man, a trait which endeared him to Beru Whitesun. When Anakin returned to Tatooine to locate Shmi, just before the onset of the Clone Wars, Owen and his father had to explain that Shmi had been lost to the Tusken Raiders. Despite their words, Anakin was able to find her, but she passed away before returning home. Anakin slaughtered the Tusken Raiders who had captured her, then returned her body to the Lars homestead for burial.

Owen grieved with his father, and Anakin left Tatooine to rescue Obi-Wan on Geonosis. Obi-Wan showed up years later, asking Owen and his young bride, Beru Whitesun, to take in the infant Luke Skywalker. Owen refused, until Beru was able to convince him that it would be okay. Owen then raised Luke as he would his own son, instilling the values of honesty and hard work into the boy. He did his best to keep Luke from realizing his true identity, for he felt that the ways of the Empire would only corrupt the young boy. He masked this by saying that he needed Luke's help on the farm.

Owen was a gruff and stern master, always chiding Luke for wanting to spend time with his friends and not at his chores. When Luke saved up enough credits to purchase a landspeeder, Owen went with him to make sure he didn't get taken. He also bought Luke T-16 skyhopper, and worked with Luke to keep it in flyable condition. When Owen purchased the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, Luke tried to talk him into submitting an application to the Academy early. Owen refused, sensing that Luke was about to continue his father's legacy of trying to save the galaxy through the use of some silly religious belief. He told Luke that he needed to remain on Tatooine one more season, and Luke stormed off.

The rift between them never got any smaller, especially when Luke left early the next morning without giving him any warning. Unfonrtunately, no reconcilation was possible, as Owen and Beru were killed when a group of stormtroopers, tracking down the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, razed the moisture farm after not finding the droids. The stormtroopers fired into the homestead from their floating fortress, then dragged the bodies of Owen and Beru out into the open, as evidence of what happened to those who defied the Empire. (E4, E4R, MTS, SWI58, OWS, E2, SWDB, SWI93)

Lars, Shmi Skywalker
This woman's family was captured by pirates when she was very young, and sold into slavery. She was passed form owner to owner over nearly three decades before being sold to Gardulla the Hutt. Shmi was best-known as the mother of Anakin Skywalker, although she remembers no man participating in Anakin's conception. Instead, she simply discovered she was pregnant and gave birth to the boy. Being a slave, there was no uproar over the fact that she was unmarried and did not know the father. After Gardulla lost a bet to Watto, Shmi and Anakin became the property of the ornery Toydarian. As Anakin grew, shmi knew that there was something special about her son. She hid as much of it as she could from Watto, hoping that the beast wouldn't use Anakin to his advantage. When Qui-Gon Jinn travelled to Tatooine, Shmi understood that Anakin was to leave with him. She could no longer hold the boy back from his destiny.

When Anakin won the Boonta Eve podrace, Qui-Gon managed to win the boy in a bet with Watto, but was unable to gain Shmi's freedom. She remained behind on Tatooine, hoping to see her young son again someday. It was believed that a female Falleen Jedi delivered a message to Shmi about Qui-Gon's death on Naboo, and about Anakin's acceptance at the Jedi Temple. Five years later, Shmi's freedom was purchased by a gruff man named Cliegg Lars, who had fallen in love with her. Cliegg and his son, Owen, devised a plan with Shmi's help, in which they tricked Watto into trading Shmi for an intact Tobal lens. It was then that Watto admitted Shmi had been more or less free since Anakin left Tatooine, since Watto had deactivated her slave transmitter shortly afterward. He feared that Shmi would wander aimlessly off in her sorrow, and blow herself up. An alternate version of Shmi's freedom was based on the story of the Falleen Jedi, in which the Falleen gave the Tobal lens to Shmi, so that she could buy her own freedom.

When Cliegg asked her to marry him, Shmi agreed. She found that she loved Cliegg, as well as his young son Owen, and wanted to share their lives. For five years they lived in relative bliss on the Lars moisture farms, although Shmi kept a vigil every night, hoping that Anakin would return from the stars. Just before the onset of the Clone Wars, Tusken Raiders began attacking the outlying moisture farms. One morning, Shmi went out to pick mushrooms from the moitsure vaporators, but was captured by the Tuskens on her way home. She was brutally tortured for more than a month, holding onto her memories of Anakin in an effort to remain alive. When Anakin finally arrived on Tatooine, drawn to his mohter's pain through the Force, he was able to free her from bondage. However, Shmi's injuries were too great, and she died in the Tusken camp. In his anger, Anakin killed the entire Tusken clan. He then collected Shmi's body and returned it to the Lars homestead. Shmi was buried next to Cliegg's first wife and parents. Note that a story in Star Wars Insider, issue 77, indicates that Shmi died twelve years before the Clone Wars. After Cliegg's death, the headstones on the Lars moisture farm were removed by Owen Lars, who claimed that no one needed to know where Shmi was buried. Note that Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 80, claims that Owen told Luke Skywalker about Shmi, because his last name came from hers. (E1, IG1, E2, TG, SWI77, SWI80, EGF)

Lars Homestead
This was the name given to the moisture farmer and residential structures that were originally owned by Cliegg Lars, on the planet Tatooine. After Cliegg's death, the Lars Homestead passed to his son, Owen. After the deaths of Owen and Beru Lars, the homestead was ceded to Throgg by Owen's adopted nephew, Luke Skywalker. Located some 140 kilometers from the Jundland Wastes, the Lars Homestead was typical of most Tatooine settlements, with a central pit that formed the hub for the homestead's underground rooms and chambers. Most external structures were created from synstone, pourstone, and other insulating materials that kept out the heat and retained any cool air inside the structure. (LLOW)

Larstone
This cement-like material was used to manufacture paving blocks on Pydyr. (DN1)

Larty
This was a Mandalorian term used to describe a gunship or other similar starship. It was later used by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to describe the LAAT/c and LAAT/i gunships used during the Clone Wars. (RCHC, SWI84)

Larutur, Cira
This woman and her husband, Joz, were traveling to Coruscant to see their first grandchild when they were kidnapped along with Senator Meena Tills by a group of Haruun Kal terrorists led by Nuriin-Ar, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. It was later learned that Senator Tills wasn't the primary target, just a convenient diversion for the possible killing of N'zaet Nir. (SWI81)

Larutur, Joz
This man and his wife, Cira, were traveling to Coruscant to see their first grandchild when they were kidnapped along with Senator Meena Tills by a group of Haruun Kal terrorists led by Nuriin-Ar, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. It was later learned that Senator Tills wasn't the primary target, just a convenient diversion for the possible killing of N'zaet Nir. (SWI81)

Laryn
This Bothan name was given to newborn males. Translated into Basic, it meant "worshipful." (GCG, WOTC)

Larynx-7
This form of reed whistle was produced by the manufacturing branch of the Baobab Merchant Fleet. Although designated a musical instrument, the Larynx-7 was marketed as a way for organic beings to communicate with an automaton that only used Droidspeak to communicate. With practice, the Larynx-7 would be used to create the chirps, buzzes, beeps and whistles of most droids.

While seemingly innocent, the Larynx-7 was proven to be troublesome in the hands of immature members of society. A starliner was forced to terminate its flight in the Gulf of Tatooine with a group of Howler Tree children found aboard their vessel. The youths managed to control the ship's entire droid pool, ordering them to participate in a shipwide food fight. (GPB)

Las Lagon
This planet was one of many that seceded from the Galactic Alliance, in the wake of the Battle of Gilatter Eight. Like many other planetary governments, the leaders of Las Lagon refused to commit troops to the Galactic Alliance's war against The Confederation. (LF5)

Lasan
This arid planet, located in the farthest reaches of the Outer Rim Territories, was the homeworld of the Lasat. Note that this planet was also referred to as Lasat in the Star Wars Adventure Journal, issue 10. (AE, SWJ10)

Lasan, Thar
This Gotal worked as a loanshark during the height of the New Order, until he was suddenly killed. Many believed that Thar's death was caused by Ploovo Two-for-One, who raided Thar's ranks for his own "Protocol Team.". (AIR)

Lasarcompfac
This was one of several small, industrial towns strewn across the northern coast of Anai, on the planet Lianna. (ML)

Lasarla
This was the Hapan term for the fruit of the Selab wisdom tree. (CPL)

Lasat
Native to the remote planet of Lasan, this species of humanoid evolved from predatory canines. They had slender builds, but their large heads were dominated by huge eyes and large ears used to dissipate heat. Their jaws and tooth structure were indicative of their canine ancestry, with heavy teeth and strong musculature. They were a tribal, nomadic race that caught its food by trapping rather than hunting. They histories were maintained in a collection of core truths hidden within mythological tales of heroism. Their level of technology was primitive at the time of the Galactic Civil War, with real science and technology still being thought of a magic. (AE)

Lasavvou
This Ithorian starship owner had his vessel impounded after landing on Nar Shaddaa, during the years following the Jedi Civil War. He enlisted the help of The Exile in selling some of his spare power cells for enough credits to free his ship and leave the moon. In return for The Exile's assistance, Lasavvou agreed to transport Kahranna and her family to their destination. (KOTOR2)

Lasdal, Roald
This man worked as a shift foreman at the Nessem Shipyards during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. He was also an Alliance sympathizer, and acted as the Alliance's spy at the Nessem orbital facilities. Roald's political affiliations were unusual for a Nessemite, but he nevertheless felt that "neutrality was an expensive commodity." He provided information on the possible development and construction of the Quadronomic Fluxer to his Alliance contacts, hoping that the information reached them before it reached Imperial forces. (WOA12)

Laseel
This planet, an exceptionally hot and humid world covered with dense jungles, was the third planet in the Dathomir System. It was orbited by two moons. (GORW)

Laseema
This female Twi'lek worked for Qibbu the Hutt as a waitress and part-time kitchen helper at Qibbu's Hut, during the era of the Clone Wars. Although she was afraid of Qibbu, she found herself even more frightened of the clone commandos who took up residence in the facility about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. Kal Skirata had convinced Qibbu to let him use the restaurant and hotel as a base of operations for an anti-terrorist operation, and Laseema was in the kitchen when Ordo came in for a search. Despite her fears, Laseema came to trust Kal and the clone commandos, who forced Qibbu to treat her with more respect. She took a liking to Atin especially, and they developed a mutual liking for each other. They remained in contact even after the mission to Coruscant, and many of Atin's comrades came to think of her as part of their family. Kal Skirata went so far as to arrange for a safe residence for her, hoping to get her away from the possibility of trouble at Qibbu's. Laseema became something of a caretaker for Etain Tur-Muakn's child, after Kal asked her to help keep the child safe until the time came to travel to Mandalore. During one of Omega Squad's brief visits to Coruscant that Atin surprised Laseema when he asked her to marry him. Without much hesitation, Laseema agreed, but they held off exchanging vows until Atin returned from active duty. Following the First Battle of Coruscant and the chaotic end to the Clone Wars, Laseema made plans to get herself and Venku Skirata off Coruscant. When Kal Skirata and his clones abandoned the Grand Army of the Republic, Laseema went with them to Mandalore. Although she was one of a very small number of Twi'leks on the planet, she gladly accepted the role of a Mandalorian woman. (RCTZ, RCTC, RC66)

Laser
A device which uses a photonic beam generator to combine coherent energy into packets that can be aimed at a target. Upon striking the target, the packets split the target's molecular structure to varying degrees, based on the strength of the packets emitted. The packets can be generated to lightly stun a target or completely vaporize it. (SWSB)

Laser Battery
Another form of starship laser weapon, the laser battery uses a self-contained atomic battery to generate electromagnetic energy. This means that laser batteries were large weapons, unsuited for small starships. They were also much more powerful that laser cannons, but generate intense amounts heat, and must be cooled after each shot. (SWSB)

Laser Beak
This was Ahsoka Tano's nickname for a vulture droid. (CWYN)

Laser Cannon
These versatile weapons were essentially powerful blaster cannons that were used most often on starships. They could be mounted almost anywhere, provided that they could be powered separately from the ship's main power. There were many different sizes and configurations of laser cannons, from small, single cannons to the quad-laser cannons. They usually employed quad-helix prismatic crystals to generate a laser beam, which was focused through a polarized alloy. The color and size of the beam could be modified, allowing a ship to sometimes fire "invisible" lasers as part of a surprise attack. The physics of these invisible shots, however, were not detectable by most sensors, and could not be easily targetted. (E4, SWSB)

Laser Chaser
This was a term used by smugglers and independent spacers of the Old Republic to describe the use of laser weapons following a blast of ion energy in a firefight, when the opponent was least suspecting it. The use of concealed ion weaponry, known as an ion surprise, caused shipboard electronics to fail briefly, while the laser chaser poured laser energy into a starship's damaged shields. (RDV)

Laser Crossbow
see Bowcaster. (SWRPG)

Laser Cuff
This outdated form of binder, used more than fifty years before the onset of the Clone Wars, used specially-controlled beams of coherent light to keep a prisoner's limbs from becoming free. (LOJ)

Laser Drill
This mining tool used a beam of intense, coherent light to bore through rock and stone. The laser's light generated intense temperatures, and literally melted the surrounding rock as it drilled into it. The tunnels that were carved with a laser drill were easily distinguished by their smooth walls, formed from heat-fused rock to a glassy shine. (FJ1)

Laser Gate
This was a form of energy barrier that used high-powered lasers to secure an area. The Theed Generator on the planet Naboo was protected by a laser gate, which employed a series of laser gates to ensure that nothing disrupted the flow of plasma energy being tapped from the planet's core, as well as protecting any beings working in the generator facility. These devices were sometimes called electron walls. (NEGW, NECH)

Laser Lasso
This was a form of children's toy that was popular during the final years of the Old Republic. (LJ5)

Laser Lathe
This was a computer-controlled machining device which used a super-fine, super-accurate laser to form intricate replacement parts. (BI)

Laser Letter
This was the name given to a kind of lettering that was used on outdoor signage, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Rather than using formed tubing that was filled with electrified gases to create words, laser letters used focused the beams of low-powered lasers to form specific letters. Unlike tube lighting, each laser letter had to be individually powered, but this allowed individual letters to be replaced - and not the entire sign - if one burned out. (LJ3)

Laser Painting
This form of artwork was developed during the final years of the Old Republic. Laser paintings used low-powered lasers to serve as lights in the artwork, which often depicted sunny landscapes. The laser light emitted from the painting made it appear as if the sun were glowing. Secure Systems and other home-security providers used laser paintings as components in security systems, since the laser light could serve as a motion detector. The laser could also be used to unlock hidden panels or safes, if directed at a certain location on the opposite wall from the painting. (LJ9)

Laser Pen
A writing implement that literally burns written words onto a page. (MMY)

Laser Pistol
This was another name for a hand-held blaster weapon. (RF2)

Laser Pose
This meditative pose was practiced by the Jedi Knight of the Old Republic. Usually performed following the Salutation to the Force, the Laser Pose involved rolling onto the neck and shoulders while pointing the legs and feet skyward. The body was kept in a straight line, with the hands on the ground to provide additional support. (MBS)

Laser Saw
This form of old-style saw used a coherent beam of light to cut through soft materials. In the wrong hands a laser saw could also be used as a weapon. (CSWEA, LAT2)

Laser Scalpel
This form of medical cutting device used a tightly-focused laser beam to cut through flesh. The advantage of using a laser scalpel over a standard blade was that a laser scalpel could be calibrated to cauterize the incision it created. (DN3)

Laser Scissors
This specialized form of shears used two thin beams of coherent light to cut thin materials like cloth. (FJ3)

Laser Shell
This was a form of laser-guided missile, often fired from backpack-mounted launchers. Jango Fett used a laser shell launcher on one set of Mandalorian armor he used as a bounty hunter. (E2Y)

Laser Trap
This was the name given to any unmanned security system which used automatic blasters which were connected to unmanned sensor systems. When a trigger was activated, usually by the presence of a being who tripped a security measure, the laser trap quickly targetted the intruder and opened fire. (EGW)

Laser Whip
This was a form of energy whip that emitted tight beams of laser light, which could cut through flesh and soft materials. (RF1)

Laser Wrench
This specialty tool uses a laser to assist in removing connectors. (TNR)

Laserball
This was another name for a remote. (SA1)

Laserball
This sport was popular among the students of the Leadership School on Andara, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The sport involved the use of a specialized ball that spun in mid-air, and emitted several beams of laser light at various intervals. Over time, laserball came to be played on many different worlds. Laserballs were produced in a variety of sizes, allowing young children as well as adults to enjoy playing with them. (JQ5, LJ5, LJ9)

Laserball
This was an archaic form of projectile. Each laserball was designed to induce a stinging numbness when it hit exposed flesh, and was shot from a slingshot or throwing stick. If the laserball contacted non-organic material, it caused a small explosion which was more sound than destruction. (DOD)

Laserblade
This was a slang term used to describe a Jedi Knight, during the height of the Clone Wars. (CWTV39)

Laser-borer
This was a repulsor-equipped platform which was used by miners to drill through rock. A heavy-duty laser was mounted to the platform, to cut through rock and other materials. (LTA2)

Laserlight
This was a form of lighting system that used low-powered lasers to generate light. Laserlights came in many sizes, from the tiny lights used on lasertoys to brilliant lights used in streetlamps. (LJ3)

Laser-loop
This was the term used to describe the complete understanding of a situation or experience. To be "out of the laser-loop" was to lack the information required for understanding the situation. (LJ8)

Lasermaze
This room was one of the many Game Chambers of Questal. A perfect square, the room's floor was marked with an eight-by-eight grid. Twelve columns, placed on various subsquares in the grid, run from floor to ceiling. Each column was armed with four lasers, each facing an ordinal direction in the room. The lasers fire in a pattern, two at a time, and the pattern repeats every 90 seconds. Moff Bandor, to make the maze even harder, installed a low-level tanglefoot field on certain subsquares. The object for prisoners of the chambers was to traverse the maze from one side to the other without getting shot up by the lasers. (GCQ)

Lasertoy
This was a generic term used to describe any toy that used a low-powered repulsorlift to move through the air in a seemingly random pattern. Bright laserlights shone from its surface, creating a beautiful display of light as it moved about. When a lasertoy hit a wall or was otherwise moved off its course, more lights were turned on, creating an ever-changing display. The Jedi Masters and instructors at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant used lasertoys to begin the training of Padawans, during the final years of the Old Republic. By concentrating on the lasertoys, young Padawans learned to focus the Force on a moving object, rather than something stationary, like a cup. (LJ3)

Laser-welder
This tool came in a variety of sizes, from large-scale robotic welding devices to handheld spot welders. Because these tools used lasers to generate heat for welding, they could also be used to cut metals. (DA)

Laserwhip
This unusual weapon was similar to a lightwhip, but was tipped with a special laser that could be used to cut through nearly any material. (LJ7)

Lashaa Silk
This was a heavy form of silk, used in the creation of luxurious skirts and dresses, which could be used in relatively harsh environments. (VD)

Lashowe
This woman was one of the many ancient Sith apprentices who were being trained on Korriban, during the height of the Great Sith War. It was Lashowe who found a Sith holocron in the Valley of the Dark Lords, although she refused to admit that others had helped her fnid it. Lashowe was among the students who joined Kel Algowinn in an attempt to destroy the Jedi Knights who had infiltrated the Sith academy and killed Master Uthar Wynn, shortly after the Great Hunt. Like Algowinn, however, Lashowe was unprepared for combat, and was quickly killed by the Jedi. (KOTOR)

Lasicutter
This was a cutting tool, developed during the early decades of the New Republic, which used an intense laser to perform intricate cuts. (SBS)

Lassen
This was the name of Kal Clancy's personal starship. (SWJ7)

Last Call
This was the name of the fanblade fighter provided to Asajj Ventress by Count Dooku, during the height of the Clone Wars. The Ginivex-class starfighter was one of several ships Dooku had provided, after the previous vessels had either been lost or destroyed. The Last Call was equipped with the latest in Geonosian technology, and even had a prototype "gemcutter" that had been stolen from Carbanti United Electronics. The fact that Ventress kept losing ships rankled Dooku, since they were expensive vessels that Ventress didn't seem to care about. The situation didn't improve when Ventress traveled on her own initiative to Phindar, in an attempt to capture Jedi Master Yoda. She left a captive Palleus Chuff in the Last Call and set out to find Yoda. Chuff managed to escape, and set the fighter to self-destruct. The ship exploded, forcing Ventress to find other transport back to Vjun. Unfortunately, she returned to Vjun without Yoda, making Dooku doubly angry at her. (YDR)

Last Call
This 700-meter deep valley on the planet Korbin was located on the world's northern hemisphere. It was littered with the remains of natives and off-worlders who were murdered in the cities. The prevailing winds blow the stench of the valley north, away from habitation. (PG2)

Last Hope
This Alliance Corvette was part of a small group sent to assist the rebels on Edan II. Unfortunately, it was shot down while trying to enter orbit around the planet, and plunged toward the surface. Incredible flying kept the ship intact until it crashed on the planet. It landed with its forward fuselage hanging over a cliff. The Alliance forces managed to rescue a single X-Wing fighter from its damaged hold, before the Last Hope plunged down the ravine and exploded. (IAG)

Last Lake, The

Last Laugh
This was the name used Oorn Noth to describe the sleek racing ship that was provided to him by his corporate sponsor, SoroSuub. He used the name after he fled into hyperspace in order to escape his contract with SoroSuub, prompting the corporate officers to place a bounty on his head for the return of the ship and other legal prosecution. Noth continued to race in the ship, which was a new design that was the equivalent of an Eta-2 Actis interceptor, always trying to avoid attracting the attention of his former sponsors. (WOTC)

Last Legs
This dilapidated Maso-class cargo hauler was captured by the Harmzuay. (GG9)

Last Light
This was one of the many independent transport ships that plied the spacelanes of the Cularin System during the final years of the Old Republic. It was owned by an unidentified female who seemed to have no fear, and often talked openly of Nirama's actions to her fellow pilots. She and her fellow pilots knew that Nirama was one of the few beings who had the best interests of Cularin in mind when he controlled things, despite the obvious fact that Nirama was a crimelord and not the local government. (LFCW)

Last Resort
This cantina, located in New Atraken City, serves only drinks. (PG2)

Last Resort
This was the name used by many inhabitants of the ancient Lower City of Taris to describe the section of the Junction that was controlled by Jarael, during the era of the Mandalorian Wars. Unknown to most beings, however, was the fact that the Last Resort was actually an operating junk hauler that had been buried under trash and debris. This vessel, which had been one of the last 578-R Space Transports manufactured by Amalgamated Hyperdyne and Refuse Management on Corellia, provided Jarael with an escape mechanism, in case she needed to flee Taris for any reason. The reason eventually appeared in the person of Zayne Carrick, the former Jedi Padawan who was accused of the murders that had been committed by his Master, Lucien Draay. Carrick and Marn Hierogryph had been trying to escape with the help of The Camper, when Draay and the Civil Authority tried to apprehend them. Jarael got them all aboard the Last Resort before punching out of the Junction and fleeing into space. They managed to reach the Rogue Moon, where Hierogryph was able to get the ship's main weapons powered up in time to scatter the soldiers who were pursuing them. Unfortunately, the air recycling systems of the Last Resort were filled with molds and allergens, which had spread while the ship was buried on Taris, and The Camper became quite ill. Jarael took the ship to Arkania, where she and her friends became wrapped up in Project Black Harvest. In the wake of the so-called Adasca Affair, the whereabouts of the Last Resort were unknown. (KOR1, KOR4, KOR6, KORH, WOTC)

Last Resort
This ship was part of Talon Kaarde's small fleet, during the early years of the New Republic. As Kaarde reduced his involvement with the operation, he turned over command of the ship to Aves. (IR)

Last Stand at Refnar
This battle between Alliance starships guarding a convoy and Imperial forces turned at the wrong moment for the Alliance. Flight commander Margo "Pepper" Flarestream and her squadron had nearly routed the TIE Fighters sent to atack the convoy, when the Imperial commander broke with typical doctrine and launched his cruiser into the battle. The larger ship quickly decimated Falrestream's starfighters, then destroyed much of the convoy. The mission had been Flarestream's first command, and she retired from Starfighter Commander shortly afterward, despite the fact that she saved nearly seventy percent of her ships. (CRO)

Last Thing, The
This was Dorok Zalaster's modified 344-class light cruiser. It was named because Zalaster boasted that it was "the last thing my victims see." He had modified the hold to carry up to six prisoners.

Lastri's Ort
One of Talon Karrde's ships, this Star Galleon was active during the New Republic's struggle against Grand Admiral Thrawn. Karrde acquired the ships from a former Imperial Moff who wanted to sell the ship to gather more operating capital, and he did little more than convert the troop baracks to cargo space before putting it to use. Karrde kept the Lastri's Ort stationed in the Outer Rim, hoping to avoid other Imperial vessels whose captains might question how he obtained it. The Lastri's Ort could accommodate up to twelve passengers and 125,000 metric tons of cargo, and required a crew of 150 to operate. It was armed with five turbolasers on each flank, and a front-mounted concussion missile launcher. (TLC, GMR4)

Laughing Sullustan
This starship was the former flagship of Quentin Bartog, and was later attached to Zirtran's Anchor. After the station disappeared into hyperspace after being occupied by Imperial forces, Bartog himself vanished, but the ship became the base of operations for the so-called Bartog Syndicate. The Laughing Sullustan was a custom-buitl pleasure craft, equipped with the most comfortable appointments available. (SWJ5)

Laughter After Dark
This musical work was sung by Saahir Ru'luv. (SWJ15)

Launch Gate
This was one of the marvels of organic technology created by the ancient Kathol. These gates allowed the Kathol to instantly move from one place to another. The first gate was located on the planet Kathol, and others were placed on remote worlds by Kathol which traveled in their unique launch vehicles. The gate itself was was a massive construction housed in a temple, and was ringed with columns. They were large enough to allow a colony ship to move into and out of it, thereby allowing the Kathol to spread throughout the Kathol Sector of the galaxy. All but one of these gates was destroyed in the conflict between the ancient Jedi Knights and the Dark Jedi who had enslaved the Kathol, in what became known as the Rift Disaster. The resulting explosions ripped apart the hyperspace continuum in the sector, and created the area known as the Kathol Rift. Only one gate survived, in order around the planet Kathol, but it was severly damaged. This last gate was later destroyed during the Battle of Kathol, wiping out any chance of re-establishing this technology. (E)

Launch Lube
This was the generic term used to describe the acrid-smelling lubricant that was used to make it easier for starfighters to launch from a standing position. Launch lube was usually employed aboard warships, to lubricate hangar facilities for quicker takeoffs. (DSTR)

Launch Vehicle
This was the named used by the Kathol race to describe their organic starships. These massive ships employed an unusual form of drive which allowed them to enter hyperspace without the use of a "standard" hyperdrive. Each launch ship was "grown," and was essentially charged before each trip. Once enough energy was acquired, the launch vehicle could enter hyperspace. When that energy was expended, the launche vehicle dropped out of hyperspace. (E)

Launcher Pistol
This specialized handgun could fire several different projectile weapons, depending on its configuration. (SWG2P)

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

Laut
The innermost of two moons that orbit Genesia, Laut was colonized in much the same way as its sister, Gimm. Underground facilities were formed to allow colonists to survive on the airless rock, providing them with living and working areas near to - but not actually located on - Genesia. The colonists created the cities to escape from the corruption and crime which dominated Genesia. (FBS)

Laut, Rena
This woman operated a watercraft rental business on the moon Dorumaa, during the last decades of the Old Republic. She had spent a good deal of her life exploring the oceans of the moon, and knew that there were some dangerous creatures in the ocean depths. She made a point of warning her customers about the dangers, in an effort to gain additional income as a guide. (LFC)

Lav Peq
This was the Yuuzhan Vong name for a netting beetle. (UF)

Lav Peq Pattern
This was a search pattern used by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors whenever they had to look for another being. A team of searchers riding in tsik vai started at the lowest point of the search area and moved in ever-tightening arcs until the highest point was reached. (EVC)

Lava Cannon
Developed on the planet Mustafar, this unusual weapon fired a stream of super-heated rock or ore at a target. Because its fuel was so heavy, this weapon was exceptionally hard to wield. (SWGAL)

Lava Crystal
This unusual, crystalline stone was discovered on the planet Mustafar. Forged in the volcanic fires of the planet's outer core, the lava crystal was believed to be useful as a focusing crystal in a lightsaber, although the end of the Clone Wars and the formation of the Galactic Empire prevented any investigation by the Jedi Order. (SWGAL)

Lava Dragon
This was another name for the fireworm of Eol Sha. (JS, JASB)

Lava Gear
This was a slang term used by Han Solo to describe the local resistance forces on the planet Mindor, during the months that followed the Battle of Endor. The nickname stemmed from the fact that the locals affixed small chunks of lava and meltmassif to their clothing, camoflaging their outlines and helping to deflect sensor sweeps. (LSSM)

Lava Labyrinth
This vast lava plain was distinguished by the maze-like collection of lave tubes and passages that wound through the hardened floes. The visible surface of the lava was wrinkled and puckered, giving the Lava Labyrinth a rugged apperance. (MF)

Lava Node
A form of gemstone found in the Hapes Cluster. (JE)

Lava Rover
This was a specialized vehicle that was created to move over the lava fields of the planet Mustafar, using repulsorlift engines to keep the vehicle from plunging into the molten rock. (SWCL)

Lava Skiff
This was a specialized form of landspeeder that was designed to carry a driver and a passenger in high-heat environments, such as mining operations on volcanically-active worlds. To provide for comfort, the lava skiff was little more than a repulsor-equipped platform, on which were mounted two seats. The rear seat was set aside for the driver, and had a small control panel to operate the vehicle. The front seat was designed for a passenger. (SWGAL)

Lava Skimmer
This specialized collection device was device for use on the planet Mustafar, where molten ores flowed freely over the planet's surface. Mustafarian laborers used lava skimmers to collect deposits of particularly valuable ores. The lava skimmer itself was a sturdy pole that had special tongs mounted at the end. The tongs were used to grasp a portable cauldron that contained the lava that was scooped from a flow, and were equipped with pressure locks to prevent being broken by excessive squeezing force.

The southern Mustafarians were among the few beings who could use a lava skimmer, since it required incredible upper-body strength to maneuver, even when the cauldron was empty. (CVD)

Lava Worm
This unusual creature inhabited the ponds which formed from molten rock and stone on the planet Nkllon. The lava worm preferred to live near active lava floes, where fresh lava was constantly moving. (EGP)

Lavar
This Sullustan sliced worked for Carh'la Bastra and the Alliance during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. When Bastra set down on Tatooine, Lavar was briefly captured by the Desert Demons. He was freed when an Imperial spy, posing as an Alliance recruit, agreed to help Captain Bastra locate a stolen Imperial cargo. The spy infiltrated the Desert Demons' hiding place and got Lavar out, in an effort to slice into the computer records of the Darklighter family and locate the missing cargo. (SWGAL)

LavaRide Enterprises
This tourist destination was established on the planet Sullust, during the last years of the Old Republic, and allowed visitors to experience the inner workings of a volcano first-hand. Using specially designed and protected spheres, the LavaRide plunged visitors into the caldera of an active volcano. Transport ships with tight-beam tractor beams then pulled the sphere out of the lava before it could sink. During the early years of the New Republic, the owners of LavaRide Enterprises planned to implement a form of "lava-ball", where two players could maneuver their spheres around a caldera, in order to bump a third sphere into a goal area. The "sport" was deemed too dangerous by the initial inspectors, and development was placed on hold. (GORW)

Lavic, Annea
This woman graduated from a prominent medical school on the planet Rhinnal. However, to relieve the pressure of her studies, she started consuming ryll spice. Over time, the spice led to her gambling and stealing to obtain more spice. Annea managed to graduate, but lost her internship when she was too frayed from the spice to concentrate on a surgery. The patient was the son of an Imperial governor's chief aide, and the boy died because she miscalculated on dose of painkillers and sped through the operation. Rather than face the consequences of her mistakes, Annea fled Rhinnal and hid out in the Outer Rim. She tried to return to the life of a doctor, but the pressure kept getting to her and her spice addition returned. She soon found herself on the run again, pursued by spice dealers whom she had not paid. (PSG)

Lavin, Gana
This young woman grew up in the lap of luxury, in the Upper City of Taris, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Many considered her a spoiled brat, and new acquaintences who crossed her often found themselves being roughed up by the thugs who worked for her father. (KOTOR)

Lavint, Uran
A native of Bespin, this woman was noted smuggler during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. As a child, she grew up in a realtively wealthy family, but never saw herself as the corporate type. After completing her basic education, she set out to make her own way in the galaxy. She made many solo runs aboard her cargo vessel, the Breathe My Jets, and sometimes took part in larger fleet operations. Captain Lavint saw herself as a smuggler in the mold of Han Solo, especially during his early years as a smuggler, since she was always busy but rarely made ends meet. She had endured her fair share of beatings and hardships, but managed to persevere at each turn in the road.

Her crew consisted of many different beings, including her co-pilot, Blatta the Hutt. Many beings questioned why Blatta would serve under Captain Lavint, although most of the crew realized that she owed the Hutt a half-year's worth of loan payments.

Captain Lavint was one of the many smugglers who formed a network of informants that worked for Jacen Solo, during Corellia's bid for independence, some ten years after the Yuuzhan Vong war. Jacen surprised her by taking possession of the Breathe My Jets, leaving her with enough credits to pay off her debts and a stock YV-666 freighter known as the Duracrud. Disgruntled, Lavint headed off into space, unaware that Alema Rar had stowed away aboard the ship. Her remarks angered Solo enough that he had the hyperdrive on the Duracrud altered so that it failed on the first jump, leaving Lavint stranded in space. It was then that she realized Alema Rar had stowed away aboard the freighter. The Dark Jedi agreed to help Lavint repair the hyperdrive, in exchange for her help in tracking down Han and Leia Solo. Lavint agreed to the deal, seeing it as the lesser of two evils, and a way to finally meet Han Solo in person.

Their travels led them to the Errant Venture, where they were amazed to find not only Solo and his wife, but several other prominent members of the former Alliance to Restore the Republic. Although the Solos managed to escape, Captain Lavint found herself confronted by Jacen Solo, who offered her a job. He needed to find out what was happening within The Confederation, and hoped to infiltrate their next meeting disguised as a smuggler. Captain Lavint demanded the Breathe My Jets as payment, but was given a Gallofree Yards transport instead. (LF4)

Lavisar
This planet was actually once part of a much larger planetary body, until a series of asteroid collisions broke the larger world apart. Many of the fragments were too small to become anything more than asteroids themselves, but the largest part remained fairly stable and eventually became the planet Lavisar. The larger remaining pieces became moons of the planet. It was composed of heavy metals and ores, and had a higher than standard gravity. This was a remnant of the original planet, which had an incredibly-high gravity. Lavisar remained neutral during the Galactic Civil War and the battles which followed on the heels of the Battle of Endor. Its abundance of heavy ores, along with its shipyards, made it a prime world for addition to Zsinj's empire. Wraith Squadron ran a false assault on the planet, from its base on the Mon Remonda, in order establish the presence of the squadron in Han Solo's fleet. This allowed them to also use the identities of the Hawk-bats near Halmad. (IF)

Lavorn, Gren
This man served as the Alliance's chief maintenance officer at the base on Fangol during the Galactic Civil War. Shortly before the attempt to capture the Black Ice, Lavorn was assigned to understanding and outfitting a pair of captured Spiral-class assault ships for the mission. (BI)

LAVr QH-7 Chariot
Uulsho's military command speeder, the QH-7 was a modified military landspeeder built for the Empire. It was heavily armored, but not very fast, as the QH-7's primary function was the transportation of important personnel rather that battle command. The three-man craft was armed with a single, forward-mounted laser cannon, and measures 11.8 meters in length. Unknown to most field personnel, the Chariot was also equipped with a self-destruct mechanism located under the pilot's seat. This allowed a command team to ensure that any information they carried was not discovered, in the event that they were captured. (ISB, TTSB)

Lavval, Bria
This was an alias used by Bria Tharen to board the Queen of Empire and return to Nar Shaddaa. In order to cover that obvious Corellian name Bria, she claimed that her name was not Corellian at all. Instead, her story had it that "Bria" was a combination of the names of her grandmothers Brusela and Iaphagena. Bria Lavval was a minor starlet and casino singer headed for the Chance Castle. (RD)

Law Book
This slang term was used by many beings who lived in the Elrood Sector of the galaxy to describe a blaster weapon. It derived from the phrase "making your own rules" by taking the law into your own hands and enforcing it at blaster-point. (PG3)

Law Elders
The leaders of the Bimm government. (HTTE)

Law Enforcement Tools Provision
This amendment to the Galactic Loyalty Act established the rules by which the Coruscant Security Force and the Galactic Alliance Guard were allowed to carry out their investigations. The provision was meant to allow these law enforcement agencies the freedom to identify and eliminate terrorist cells that might threaten the stability of the Galactic Alliance. Under the provision, the Senate of the Galactic Alliance was allowed to enact anti-terrorism legislation without a full quorum of members. The provision also allowed law enforcement agents to call up any communications records on an individual at any time during an investigation, without the need for a warrant.

These sorts of additions to the Galactic Loyalty Act were viewed by political observers as further evidence that the Galactic Alliance was becoming more and more like the former Galactic Empire. (LF3)

Law of Life
The Ithorian tenet which holds that, for every living plant destroyed in the harvest, two more must be planted in its place. (TME)

Law-class Patrol Craft
Built by Kuat Drive Yards, this 51-meter advance scout ship was used by the Empire in the years that led up to the Battle of Endor. It also saw duty in the years after the death of Emperor Palpatine. It required a crew of four, with 11 gunners. It could transport up to 10 prisoners in a dedicated brig, and could carry up to 250 metric tons of cargo. The Law-class ship was armed with four laser cannons and a proton torpedo launcher, and was capable of hyperspace travel. KDY intended the Law-class ship to be more of a scouting vessel, but soon became the ship of choice for the Sector Rangers as a customs and patrol ship. (TSK, FOP)

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

Lawn Lice
This species of insect was often used to help maintain the grass on terraformed worlds. (LCF)

Lawquane, Cut
This clone trooper was one of the first to desert his post within the Grand Army of the Republic, during the early years of the New Republic. He fled military serve and got married to a pink-skinned Twi'lek named Suu, and the couple established a small farm on the planet Saleucami. They lived in relative peace for many months, tending their farm and raising Suu's two children, Shaeeah and Jekk, until a group of clones arrived at their farm, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis. Cut was away on business when the clones arrived, and Suu reluctantly let them use the family's barn to tend to their injured Captain, Rex. When Cut returned home to confront the clones, he had to deal with Rex's open contempt at having abandoned the military. Cut calmly explained that he had no desire to keep on killing, and had made his choice to defend his family. Their debate continued for many hours, with both clones stating their positions and accepting the other man's opinions and beliefs. Later, Cut explained that he had left the military shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, after barely surviving an attack from a group of battle droids. The rest of his story was cut short when Shaeeah and Jekk discovered a group of commando droids in the fields, prompting Cut to defend his family. He asked Rex, who was still injured, to guard his family while he confronted the droids. A series of blasts brought part of the roof down on top of Cut, but Rex was able to blast the droids and give Cut time to free himself. In the morning, Rex and the other clones were recalled to their rendezvous point. Although he still considered Cut a deserter, Rex agreed to leave out any mention of his presence on Saleucami in his report to his commanders. (CWTV32)

Lawquane, Jekk
This young Twi'lek boy, the son of Cut and Suu Lawquane, was just three years old when the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy. The family was living on the planet Saleucami, where they tended a small farm. About a year after the Battle of Geonosis, Suu was surprised when a squad of clone troopers arrived at the farm, asking for help in tending to the wounds of their Captain, Rex. Suu reluctantly agreed to let them tend to Rex's wounds in the family's barn, and both Jekk and his older sister, Shaeeah, looked on in curious interest. Unknown to the clones, the childrens' interest was based on the fact that their adopted father, Cut, was also a clone trooper. After an evening meal, the two children went outside to play, only to discover a downed Separatist escape pod. Shaeeah accidentally activated the commando droids hidden within the escape pod, and the two children were forced to run for their lives. (CWT32)

Lawquane, Shaeeah
This young Twi'lek girl, the daughter of Cut and Suu Lawquane, was just four years old when the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy. The family was living on the planet Saleucami, where they tended a small farm. About a year after the Battle of Geonosis, Suu was surprised when a squad of clone troopers arrived at the farm, asking for help in tending to the wounds of their Captain, Rex. Suu reluctantly agreed to let them tend to Rex's wounds in the family's barn, and both Shaeeah and her younger brother, Jekk, looked on in curious interest. Unknown to the clones, the childrens' interest was based on the fact that their adopted father, Cut, was also a clone trooper. After an evening meal, the two children went outside to play, only to discover a downed Separatist escape pod. Shaeeah accidentally activated the commando droids hidden within the escape pod, and the two children were forced to run for their lives. (CWT32)

Lawquane, Suu
This pink-skinned, female Twi'lek with her her children, Shaeeah and Jekk, on the planet Saleucami, during the final years of the Old Republic. When a group of clone troopers arrived at her homestead and asked for a place to help their Captain, Suu reluctantly let them tend to his wounds in the family's barn, since her husband was away delivering goods to a nearby settlement. She did not tell the clones that her husband was actually a clone trooper himself, who went by the name Cut Lawquane. When Cut returned, he graciously welcomed the other clones into his home, despite Captain Rex's obvious displeasure with encountering a deserter. However, Rex lent his own skills to help Cut defend the Lawquane homestead from an attack by Separatist commando droids, and the two men reached an easy truce. When the other clones set off to return to their unit, Suu asked Rex if he planned to turn Cut in. She was relieved when Rex said that his report would not contain any information on the Lawquanes, ostensibly because his injuries prevented him from filing a complete report. (CWTV32)

Lawsirk, Nek
This dark-skinned, Zabrak male was trained as a Jedi Knight at the Almas Academy, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. While at Almas, Lawsirk was trained by Kirlocca, and was noted for his fanatical appreciation for Jedi action holovids. Lawsirk chose to remain in the Cularin System after earning his elevation to the rank of Jedi Knight. He earned the trust and respect of the people of Hedrett, where he made his home, helping to ensure their safety and security without ever asking for payment. After it was discovered that the t'salak had been freed from its generation-old prison, Lawsirk volunteered to research the strange, oozing creature. After many fruitless meetings, he received a hologram from a mysterious, black-clothed woman who asked him to meet her on Tilnes. The meeting turned out to be a trap, and the black-clothed woman was none other than Raik Muun, a former classmate of Lawsirk's at the Almas Academy. She managed to capture Lawsirk and then assumed his identity. This allowed her to meet with the Tarasin Mother Morad'Ka, where she obtained the special urn in which the t'salak was once captured. Muun then used the t'salak to control Lawsirk's mind, driving him mad and compelling him to perform a variety of evil acts to help cover her trail. She then captured a group of Culpharm scientists and traveled to Tilnes, where she successfully bred a second t'salak. A group of freelance agents hired by the Almas Academy eventually rescued Lawsirk and returned him to Almas, where Master Kirlocca helped nurse Lawsirk back to health. (FOC2)

Lay Pa-Sidian
The bounty hunter Zee Ethda tried to capture Tarrant Snil in this city, on the planet G'wenee, which was under Imperial control during the early years of the New Republic. It was a major trade center, for goods both legal and otherwise. (CE2)

Laynara
This blonde-haired woman was an associate of Wyl Tarson's, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. They met while working for the crimelord Raze, who hired Laynara because of her intelligence and problem-solving capabilities. The pair had worked together for about five years before it was discovered that Wyl was secretly relaying information to the Alliance. Laynara was unsure what to think about ths situation, so she followed Raze's orders and toed the line.

Some nine months after the Battle of Yavin, Laynara was dispatched by Raze to ensure that Wyl didn't escape from Per Lupelo, after it was learned that Wyl was trying avoid any retribution for his duplicity. Laynara tried to convince Wyl that returning to Raze and repaying his debt would be a good idea, but Raze had other plans for Wyl.

Raze sent both of them to Ahakista, to meet with Sardoth and carry out a special mission. Unknown to Laynara was the fact that Raze had implanted an explosive device in Wyl's skull, along with an implanted communicator that allowed the crimelord to taunt Wyl throughout the mission. Although she had trouble with Tarson's capture and use of Baco Par on the mission, she tried to appeal to Darca Nyl's sense of family and honor in an unsuccessful attempt to recruit the old man. Much to her surprise, however, Nyl finally decided to join the mission, if only to cause enough pain to make himself forget the loss of his family.

On Ahakista, Laynara delivered a sealed valise to Sardoth, as she was ordered to do by Raze, ensuring Sardoth's role in the crimelord's plans for Tarson. She then set out with the group to infiltrate The Hub, and it was during this mission that she revealed to Tarson that she had been the being who implanted the bomb in his head. After Baco Par gave his life to ensure that that were able to enter The Hub, Laynara revealed the device she had created to steal information from the system: a spider-like unit that was all but undetectable. When Wyl asked her to alter the device's transmission signal to beam information to the Alliance, Raze activated the device in Wyl's head, causing him intense pain. Laynara threatened to destroy the device if Raze didn't stop the pain, forcing the crimelord to accede to her wishes in order to get the information he desired.

Although she was able to stop Wyl's pain, her exchange with Raze allowed the stormtroopers to locate them. Before she could set the device in place, Laynara took a blaster bolt in the shoulder, and the blast also damaged the device. When she regained consciousness, Laynara found herself face-to-face with Darth Vader, who had shut down the implant in Wyl's head long enough to interrogate him about their mission. She believed that Wyl had finally become an honorable man, until he agreed to tell Vader everything he knew about Raze's operations, in exchange for the Dark Lord permanently deactivating the implant in his head. In the end, Wyl's wishes caused all manner of trouble for Raze, but also created havoc for the Alliance. (SWRAG)

This Lieutenant with the Army of the Republic was dispatched to Cartao as the backup to the primary mission of Commander Roshton, during the height of the Clone Wars. Laytron's forces were in place in the event of a disaster, as the evacuation force for Roshton's troopers. Kinman Doriana provided Laytron's location to Jafer Torles and Pilester Binalie after Separatist forces tried to take control of Foulahn City and Spaarti Creations, hoping to bring Laytron's forces to bear in a mission to free Roshton. Laytron was a by-the-book officer, and initially refused Torles' request for assistance. When Binalie revealed the existence of a fourtth Outlink on the grounds of Spaarti Creations, Laytron decided that there was a good chance of success. (SWI70)

Laz
This was the eastern-most of the three continents which make up the nation of Devit, found on the planet Lazerian IV.

Santhou was a friend of Lens and Milla Reekeene, and together they founded Reekeene's Roughnecks. Santhou's species was unknown in the galaxy, and Santhou worked hard to maintain the secret. A humorous and warm being, Santhou balanced the agressiveness of Lens Reekeene and the neutrality of Milla. He was humanoid in stature, but his legs had an extra join and his eyes were very wide. Santhou's skin was a pasty-grey color, which made him look like a corpse. Santhou had been travelling the galaxy for 200 years before joining the Roughnecks. (SWCP)

This was the product entry code of a delivery that was made to the TerraAsta Spaceport on Alderaan, during the early years of the New Order. The delivery was investigated by Ferus Olin, who was posing as an Imperial Inquisitor during the search for a Force-sensitive child on the planet. The delivery had been linked to a spy in the Organa family. The first three letters indicated that the delivery was designated Load Coded and Shipped, meaning that it was allowed to pass through the transfer zone without being inspected. The two digits in the middle of the code, the number twelve, indicated that the delivery was destined for the city of Aldera. When Ferus found the cargo in an Aldera warehouse, the containers were marker as carrying speeder parts, but were empty when he opened them. (LJ9)

LCS79244-12u712
This was all that Ferus Olin could read of the product entry code of a cargo that was transferred through the TerraAsta Spaceport on Alderaan, during the early years of the New Order. Ferus had been tracking the shipment as part of his investigation into the presence of a Force-sensitive child on Alderaan, since the delivery had been linked to a spy in the royal household. (LJ9)

LC-series Hunting Droid
This series of repulsor-equipped droids was considered the precursor to the Eliminator 434. (GMR9)

LCT
This was the model number of Merr-Sonn's laser detection trip device. The LCT components were extremely small, and could be concealed almost anywhere. Anything passing through the beams between two sensors tripped the circuit, signalling a central computer of the intrusion. Most often, an array of LCT trips was placed at half-meter increments across doorways and windows to ensure coverage. (SPG)

LC-Zed
This repulsor-equipped assassin droid was pursued by the Abbaji System Constables during the early years of the New Republic. LC-Zed was an early model of the LC-series Hunting Droid, but lacked a vocabulator and could not audibly speak. It managed to hole up on the planet Sarafur for several months, until a number of parties arrived on the planet in search of the Tessent. LC-Zed was forced out of hiding, and was eventually shot down and disabled. (GMR9)

LD-1
This was a model of sniper's blaster rifle manufactured by Merr-Sonn during the height of the New Order. Classified by Merr-Sonn as a sporting rifle, the LD-1 was developed as a way to have the power of a blaster rifle in a weapon that was technically legal to carry. It was a hard-hitting weapon in the mold of the SoroSuub X-45, but it was also a fragile. (ROE, AEG, SWGAL)

LD-1a
This sporting rifle was produced in very limited quantities by Imperial Munitions, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Production of the LD-1a, which was based on the Merr-Sonn LD-1 weapon, was so secret that many weapons experts considered the LD-1a more of a myth than a reality. Nevertheless, the LD-1a was actually produced, with an overfocused energy beam that was thinner but deadlier than that of the standard LD-1 model. (AEG)

LD-8
This specialized agromech droid was developed to deploy pesticides and act as an exterminator on many agricultural worlds, such as Herzob. Because of its inexpensive pricetag, the LD-8 was one of the most widely-used extermination droids used during the height of the New Order. Its low cost, however, was due to its unsophisticated design. Among the LD-8's shortcomings was its inability to differentiate between pests and beneficial organisms, spraying its payload indiscriminantly over fields. (WOTC)

LDA
This was an acronym used by special-operations soldiers to describe any laser-dissipating aerosol. (RCTC)

le Ingiana, Zenobia
This Lorrdian female was a personal friend of Fiolla, and was elected to serve as the provincial Governor of Kinyov province, during the era of the New Order. Governor le Ingiana was dispatched by Fiolla to meet with Mammon Hoole, when the explorer arrived on Lorrd as part of an exploratory mission that he had undertaken with his adoptive niece and nephew, Tash and Zak Arranda. (OWS)

Le nochka, tuo halack ne ladda buchat
This Rodian insult commented on the recipient's lack of manners and obvious lack of good looks. (SWJ5)

le Trene, Tolk
This Lorrdian woman worked as a scrub nurse for the Grand Army of the Republic, serving in the field during the height of the Clone Wars. She was stationed at the Rimsoo Seven military hospital on Drongar with Jos Vondar some two years after the Battle of Geonosis. She found herself quite attracted to Captain Vondar, and went out of her way to make sure he knew it. She even made it almost impossible for him to miss her, and once languished in a communal shower until he came in to clean up. Her nakedness left him speechless, and nagged at his mind for many days. Tolk was aware of his enster background, but was much more practical about the harsh realities of war. She explained to him that there was nothing permanent about any physical relationship they might have, just the shared companionship of two beings who were caught in the middle of a war and might not live to see tomorrow. After the deaths of CT-914 and Zan Yant, Jos came to realize that Tolk was right. There was no shame in a non-committal relationship, nor was there any reason to avoid his feelings. Their relationship blossomed after that, until Jos' great-uncle Erel Kersos was transferred to Drongar. Kersos himself had married and ekster woman, and was forced to live the next sixty years in exile. Kersos put through an order for Tolk to take a Continuing Medical Education series class aboard MedStar Nineteen, so that he could confront her about Jos' decision to fall in love. Tolk, although not talked out of the relationship, felt that she needed to make sure that Jos was going to be all right with their relationship. She became distant, trying to sort out her feelings. When she finally talked to Jos, he pleaded with her to come back to him, and his words and actions convinced her that he would survive his exile. (MBS, MJH)

Le Yer
This beautifully manicured coastal region was known as a resort city, and was located on the planet Abregado-Rae. (ND)

LE-4D0
This LE-series droid was put together by Anakin Skywalker, during his training at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, to assist with his chores. Like many of the droids Anakin built during this time, it was cobbled together from parts he scavenged from the undercity of Coruscant, and was continually being tweaked and adjusted. (AA)

LE914
Known as Ellie, this humanoid LE-series droid was one of the many older-model automata that were used by the Empire during the height of the Galactic Civil War. LE914 was programmed to act as an Imperial database access administrator, and was asked by Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa to locate information on Tay Vanis, after Vanis disappeared with the plans to the second Death Star. This triggered a database warning, bringing Imperial troops down on the two rebels. The droid was hit with a stray blaster bolt during the firefight. Luke and Leia took Ellie with them when they escaped, earning her help in retrieving information. It was later revealed that Ellie was actually owned by Tay Vanis, who placed her in Imperial service because he had hidden the plans to the second Death Star in her memory banks. When she learned that Vanis had been tortured by Darth Vader, she turned the plans over to Luke and allowed the rebels to escape. Then, clutching Vanis' body to her own, Ellie self-destructed, destroying the Imperial installation and killing Vanis, as well as the personnel who had held him prisoner. (LTA6, MC80, NEGD)

LE-914

Leach
This Pakuuni pirate corvette was destroyed by Imperial forces, during the months that followed the Battle of Hoth. (TIE, TIEP)

Leader's Advisors
This was the body of politicians who provided guidance to the leader of the planet Tierell, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (JQ5)

Leadership Council
see Council of Separatists (E3N)

Leadership School
This elite preparatory school, based in Utare on the planet Andara, provided the children of wealthy families with in-depth educations on the machinations of leadership in the galaxy. A small number of promising students from less-influential families were offered scholarships to attend the Leadership School based on their grades and their goals, but these students were often ostracized by their more privileged schoolmates. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, extreme security measures were implemented at the School to prevent the kidnapping or assassination of the children of influential Senators and businessbeings. The students became virtual prisoners at the School, learning more than they hoped about the galaxy's politics. Despite this environment, the children who attended the Leadership School lived like royalty. All their needs were met by the staff, including gourmet meals, exercise facilities, and luxurious apartments. (JQ5)

Leaf One
This was Tawn Porew's callsign. (SWJ3)

Leaf Queen
This ancient woman lived on the Forest Moon of Endor, and was something of a myth among the Ewoks. It was the Leaf Queen who controlled the moon during the fall season, ensuring that the plants were able to drop their leaves and go to sleep, storing their energy for springtime. The Leaf Queen once loaned a magical plant to the Ewok child Kneesaa, who used it to grant wishes without wondering how or why the planet did so. The plant nearly died, before Kneesaa realized that she needed to be more grateful for its help. Once she apologized to the plant and the Leaf Queen, the plant began to grow again, reaffirming Kneesaa's sincerity to the Leaf Queen. (ECAR)

Leafbrothers
The name given by the Ewoks to their non-Ewok friends. (E6N)

Leafcrawler
This insect was distinguished by the thick, wavy hairs that covered its body. (DSTR)

Leaf-dummy
This leaf-filled mannequin was used by the Wookiees of Kashyyyk to practice hand-to-hand combat. (AFA)

Leafhorn, Churra
This was the name of a noted individual in Nosaurian history. (UANT)

Leaf-leaper
This leaping insect was native to the planet Geonosis, and could be found in the few oases that were carved into the rocky landscape. (MBS)

Leaflizard
This was a small, leaf-shaped lizard which was native to the dense canopy of the forests found on the planet Kashyyyk. (AFA)

Leafship
This was a small speeder-like vehicle that was built by the Ithorian race, for use in skimming across the surface of the planet Ithor. The body of a leafship was formed from a natural glue that was produced from the roots of the giant lilies that grew on Ithor. (MIS7)

Leaft
This Dug served aboard the No Luck Required during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. As a member of the Search and rescue Corp, Leaft was known for his dry sense of humor, and cracked many a joke about the failings of the human race. Leaft was also one of the ship's weapons experts. (GMR10, EOV)

Leaf-tail
This rodent lived in the upper levels of the jungle canopy on the planet Dagobah. Named for the wide, leaf-shaped membrane which was found at the end of its tail, the leaf-tail fed on cyanoberries and bark. Its mouth was tipped with a sharp beak, and its cheeks could expand to hold a day's worth of foraged berries. (WSW)

Leafwrap
This was a form of diaper used by the Aqualish race. (OF)

Leafy Green
It was in this tapcafe, located on JoKo's Alley on Coruscant, that Tekli overheard two Rodians discussing their distrust of the human race. The distrust arose from the fact that the Yuuzhan Vong could use ooglith masquers to pretend to be human, thereby making non-human races hesitant to work with humans. This was shortly before it was discovered that the Vong had perfected the gablith masquer. True to its name, the Leafy Green was decorated to appear as if it were in a lush, tropical environment. The tables were covered with live mosses, and potted plants and trailing vines provided covering for the walls and ceilings. Very few droids were employed by the owners, and were used simply to put together the wonderful dishes cooked by the kitchen staff. (BP)

League of Tapani Freeworlds
This was the official title of the governing organization that controlled the Freeworlds Region of Tapani Sector. It provided support mainly as a trade organization, but also had military power to back it up. Membership in the League was given to each of the five primary planets in the Freeworlds Region: Aleron, Lamuir IV, Mrlsst, Neona, and Tallaan. Headquarters of the League were based on Tallaan. (PGT)

Lean Nutti Bar and Grill
This restaurant was located on StarForge Station. It catered mainly to the non-human spacers at the Station, and humans were often ostracized if they ate there. (FOP)

Leandra
This Force-sensitive woman was a member of the Nightsisters, on the planet Dathomir, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Leap
This Alliance shuttle was assigned to the frigate Dodger, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. The Leap was destroyed during a mission to ambush the Rugle freighter group, when Imperial assault gunboats overwhelmed the Alliance's starfighter pilots. (TIE, TIEP)

Leap-charge
This was a form of attack strategy employed by the Killik hives of the Colony, during the height of the Swarm War. Larger subspecies, such as the Rekkers, moved toward their objectives by literally leaping over the lines of soldiers in front of them, in an effort to catch the enemy off-guard while it was engaged with the front line of Killik soldiers. (DN3)

Leaper
This species of large, spherical insect was native to the planet Karra. They walker on six legs, each of which was three meters in length. The Karrans were able to control great nests of leapers, using them as soldiers in battles. (SWJ1)

Leaper
This personal jet pack was produced by Merr-Sonn during the height of the New Order. (GFT)

Leapfar
This was one of the many clans of the Nosaurian race, which was native to the planet New Plympto. (CCW)

Leapfar, Glarc
This Nosaurian was a noted poacher of rikknits, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Like many rikknit poachers, Glarc was only hunting them out of desparation, using the meager profits he earned to pay for his family's expenses. Unlike other poachers, Glarc understood the relationship between the flora and fauna in the hiakk forests, and worked hard to ensure that his hunting didn't damage any other part of the forest. (CCW)

Leaping Tee
This was the name of a family of Gados who performed acrobatic and tumbling shows for the Alsakan Circo-Menagerie, during the height of the Old Republic. (CCW)

Leap-jump
This was the name given to a loud style of music with a driving beat, which was popular among the youth of the last decades of the Old Republic. (MBS)

Leara, Dutana
This Arcona was the youngest sister of Dutan Lee. She was addicted to salt, and tended to talk too freely while under the influence. All of the Dutan nest was involved with Dutan Lee's arms dealership, and Dutan Leara often provided information on his dealings to Minos Cluster authorities. Her babblings led to a number of failed arms deals. (SWJ9)

Learning Circle
This section of the primary city on Kegan was dedicated to the teaching of the General Good. All children were required to remain in the Learning Circle until their sixteenth birthday, when they were considered adults provided that they adhered to the General Good. (FFT)

Learning, The
This was the Keganite form of education. All children were required to take part in The Learning, which lasted until a child was sixteen years old. During their education, which took place in the Learning Circle, Keganite children were taught the basic tenets of the General Good. The teachers of The Learning, however, were given false and misleading information by the rulers of Kegan, V-Tan and O-Vieve. Much of this information painted a bleak and evil picture of the rest of the galaxy, aimed at maintaining the isolation of Kegan in order to avoid the tragedies of prophecy. (FFT)

Learz, Stoghin
This man was a member of Kuat Drive Yards' security forces, and was part of the team assigned to protect the Super-class Star Destroyer Zsinj called the Razor's Kiss. (IF)

Leather Head
This was a derogatory term used by some backwater humans to describe a member of the Sluissi race. (SWJ2)

Leatherback
This Weequay was the owner of Leatherback;s Bar, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Like many members of his species, Leatherback rarely spoke, simply taking his customers' orders and moving on to other business. He was disgruntled by the fact that most natives of Sriluur fled the planet when the Yuuzhan Vong invasion began, reducing his profits rather quickly and forcing him to sell his bartender droid in order to stay in business. (WOA13)

Leatherback
This avian creature, named for its thick skin, was native to the planet Qiilura. (RCHC)

Leatherback's Bar
This seedy bar was located on Sriluur, during the New Republic. Located in Meirm City, it was one of the most popular watering holes on the planet, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. This was mainly due to the fact that most Weequays were either fleeing the planet or joining local militias, in an effort to stay ahead of any possible invasion. (WOA13)

Leatherwood
This was a perfume scent for woman, although it was such a subtle scent that the natural odor of most woman overpowered it. Ysanne Isard was one of the few woman who did not mask it. (WS)

Leathris
This tough material was used to make coveralls and jackets. It could also be created in a lighter weight, for use in making cloaks and wraps. (SOP, LJ1, LJ8)

Lebauer, Lorimar
This Jenet was the founder of the underground organization known as the Invisible Shell. He was arrested during the early years of the New Republic by the authorities on Thyferra, who discovered that he had been running a conuterfeit bacta operation. Thousands of beings died because the bacta treatments they received were merely placebos, and Lorimar was accused and convicted of the fraud. Many believed that his own nephew, Ludlo Lebauer, supplied information on Lorimar's operation to the Thyferrans, in the hopes of taking control of the Invisible Shell for himself. Leia Organa Solo, during her negotiation for the return of ten Alderaanian boasa statues owned by Luldo, offered to commute Lorimar's sentence in exchange for the statues and the Second Mistake. However, Lorimar would not be released until Leia returned to coruscant with the artworks. (SWI67)

Lebauer, Ludlo
This hulking Jenet was the owner and Administrator of the Pearl Island Casino on Pavo Prime, during the early years of the New Republic. He was known for his love of rare and unusual art, and collected several Alderaanian boasas as payment of a gambling debt from Threkim Horm. When he learned that Horm had used other boasas to pay off other debts, Lebauer spent a small fortune obtaining the complete set of ten boasas, and built a wondrous display area in the Pearl Island Casino to keep them. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Ludlo began negotiating with the New Republic on an exclusive salvage contract, pitting himself against the forces of the Invisible Shell. The Republic began to take Ludlo's offer seriously, when the New Republic Intelligence agency believed he was the party responsible for selling rare artworks to the Empire, unaware that it was the Squibs Sligh, Emala, and Grees working through the Invisible Shell to sell the art. When the Republic refused to give exclusive rights to any one organization, Lebauer tried to obtain the salvage contract by offering the ten boasas to Leia Organa Solo in return. Leia would not agree to such a deal, much to Ludlo's consternation. She did, however, learn of Ludlo's plans to take control of the Invisible Shell from his uncle, Lorimar Lebauer, and offered him Lorimar's release from prison in exchange for the boasas and the Second Mistake. Despite his hatred of Lorimar, Ludlo realized that he couldn't turn the deal down without exposing his own plans for the Invisible Shell. He agreed, but then tried to have Leia, Han, and the Squibs killed before they could leave Pavo Prime. His plan backfired, and Ludlo was forced to accede to Leia's plans when she threatened to expose his treachery to Lorimar. He turned over the ten boasas and the Second Mistake, then revealed that the information on the MS-19 was bogus. (SWI67)

Lebeleb, Beels
This was the name of a noted member of Nimbanese society. (UANT)

LE-BO2D9
Known as "Leebo," this droid was owned by Dash Rendar. An early-mode Cybot Galactica repair droid, Leebo was originally purchased by the portmaster on the planet Esseles. Unfortunately for the portmaster, Leebo was onboard a freighter when the ship suddenly blasted away, and Leebo was later sold for credits. Leebo was then purchased by a failed comedian, and had a warped sense of humor, before coming into the possession of Dash Rendar. He was a fair pilot, often taking the controls of the Outrider when Dash was on business planteside. (SE, SESB, SWDB)

Leb'Reen
A city located on the planet Ryloth, Leb'Reen was only accessible by flying through a narrow canyon rift before settling some 500 meters into the landing area. Fenig Nabon and Ghitsa Dogder once employed Shada D'ukal and her partner, Dunc T'racen, to transport a cargo of Twi'leki dancers to Durga the Hutt. They met the Mistryls in Leb'Reen, and picked up the dancers there as well. (TFNR)

Lecepanine
This was a strong tranquilizer, used by bounty hunters during the height of the New Order to bring down their targets without harming or killing them. (ROD)

Lecersen, Drikl
This Imperial Moff was one of the many members of the Moff Council, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Lecersen was known as a man who put duty before personal gain, one of the "old-school" Moffs who supported Supreme Commander Gilad Pellaeon. Pellaeon appreciated Lecersen's analytical mind, especially when the Moff Council was approached by Jacen Solo. Solo had made overtures to offer them the worlds of Borleias and Bilbringi in exchange for the support of the Imperial Navy in a mission to capture the shipyards of Fondor and return them to the Galactic Alliance. Lecersen was quick to point out to the other Moffs that the offer was not yet official, and that they defer their decision until Pellaeon had assessed the entire situation. As one of the survivors of the Second Battle of Fondor, Moff Lecersen spent the following weeks trying to restore some semblence of control to the Imperial Remnant.

He traveled with a group of Moffs to oversee the take-over of the Verpine factories on the Nickel One asteroid, and just barely survived a Mandalorian attack on their location. In the wake of the fighting on Nickel One, Moff Lecersen became the de facto leader of the Moff Council. Lecersen then accompanied Darth Caedus into the Transitory Mists, on a mission to eliminate Luke Skwywalker and the Jedi Order. The initial stage of the mission went poorly, and the Anakin Solo suffered major damage in several coordinated attacks by Jedi pilots in StealthX fighers. Lecersen and the other Moffs who had accompanied him questioned the way Caedus handled the situation, and tried to suggest to Tahiri Veila that their attack should be targeted at the Hapan Home Fleet, rather than the Jedi. He suggested using a targeted nanokiller, attuned to the DNA of Prince Isolder, to kill the Hapan Queen Mother, Tenel Ka, which might send the Hapan forces into disarray.

When Caedus declined to try this plan of attack, Lecersen was surprised to learn that he believed the battle had already been won, despite the severity of the damage to the Anakin Solo. Although he couldn't get a straight answer, Moff Lecersen and his fellow Imperials were more than happy to transfer to the Megador when they learned that Jaina Solo had infiltrated the Anakin Solo. Caedus refused to let them go, claiming that the massive ship was going to be in a space battle of its own to save the Imperial Remnant's fleet. When Caedus left to confront his sister, the Moffs put their plans for the nanokiller into motion by themselves, temporarily allying themselves with Ducha Requud to use a Hapan rescue ship to carry the nanokiller to the Dragon Queen.

With the death of Darth Caedus and the turning of the space battle in the favor of the Jedi Coalition, the surviving Moffs locked themselves in the Anakin Solo's auxiliary command center to wait out the battle. Luke Skywalker and the other Jedi Masters were able to break into the chamber and confront the Moffs, and Master Skywalker offered them two choices: surrender to the Hapans and face a war crimes trial for their attack on the Dragon Queen, or join the Jedi Coalition in re-establishing the Galactic Alliance. This second option came with one requirement, that the Imperials submit to the leadership of Jagged Fel. Lecersen was forced to agree that life under Fel's command would be better than a death sentence among the Hapans, and agreed to help Luke rebuild the Alliance. Lecersen eventually established a residence in the Senate District on Coruscant, in order to keep tabs on both the Galactic Alliance and the activities of Jagged Fel. The additional expense of his Coruscant apartment paid off about two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, when holonews reporter Javis Tyrr began following the actions of Fel and his fiance, Jaina Solo. Lecersen knew that obtaining information that might damage Fel was important, and so he arranged to provide Tyrr with surveillance technology that could be hidden inside a cleaning droid. Tyrr managed to get one of these altered droids inside the Jedi Temple, which allowed him to make a recording of Jagged Fel and Jaina Solo leaving the Jedi Temple, after Yaqeel Saav'etu and Bazel Warv were struck by Force-related illnesses. Unfortunately, the droid was confiscated before Tyrr could retrieve it. (LF8, LF9, FJ2, FJ3)

Lecknag Beast
A vicious creature that lives outside of Gemthrop City, these monsters roam in large herds. The City had been walled to keep the groups of animals from killing its inhabitants. (RPG)

Lectroticker
This jury-rigged device was used to get through security card locks. It employs a sense plate from a pressure sensor and a data compiler from a life form detector. The lectroticker sends out a series of electrical pulses, and the data compiler reads where the pulse patterns match between the sense plate and the lock. The exact pattern can be manipulated using the data compiler until the lock's code was discovered. Once an exact match was found, the lock springs open. (CFG)

Lectures on the Nature of the Force
This treatise, written by Jedi Master Ood Bnar, was maintained within the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the height of the Old Republic. (WOTC)

Ledd, Glimmet
This being, a member of the Luurian Genetic Enclave, served the Old Republic's Ministry of Science during the Clone Wars, helping to develop vaccines and counteragents to fight the biological weapons of the Separatists. (SWI66)

Leddar
This young woman was Samuel's daughter. She was kidnapped by Royce shortly after the Battle of Naboo, just before Darca Nyl arrived at Samuel's remote outpost. Royce captured her and planned to ransom her back to Samuel for his own rightful share of the mining profits on the world they discovered. Royce held the girl for a couple of days, before Darca Nyl was able to force a truce. He exposed both beings as petty, and forced Leddar to realize that Samuel wasn't as much worried about her as the credits he was reaping in profits from the mining operations. After learning that Lycan was traveling to Molavar, Darca Nyl expressed his regrets at having to leave Leddar with her father, then left them behind. (T21)

Ledes, Orten
This man served as a Major in the Second Legion of the Army of Light, during the final years of the New Sith Wars. He lacked any connection to the Force, and was able to survive the detonation of the thought bomb that ended the Battle of Ruusan. Major Ledes was among the many non-Jedi who were chosen by Lord Valenthyne Farfalla to lead recovery missions on the planet Ruusan, in an effort to locate any survivors. Major Ledes was also asked to locate Johun Othone, who had managed to join one of the recovery teams despite specific orders from Farfalla to remain aboard the Fairwind. (DBRT)

Ledwellow, Danry
This Er'Kit represented his homeworld in the Old Republic Senate, until he was implicated in a slvery ring shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. Senator Ledwellow had been secretly working with the Thalassians, along with Senators Tikkes, Bufus Ritsomas, and Wuja Wojaine, although none of the Senators was aware of the others' involvement. The Senator was suspended from duty pending an investigation. (HNN5)

Lee, Dutan
This Arconan arms dealer was a fixture in the Minos Cluster for almost twenty years. His entire nest was primarily involved with manufacturing and exporting mining equipment and supplies. Those family members who didn't work within this operation held positions of authority within the Cluster. He used the family mining business as a front, and supplied weapons to criminals and Alliance agents with equal passion. His primary base of operations was never in the same place twice, providing him added protection from Cluster criminals and Imperial forces. Steady customers discovered his new locations through a complex network of informants. His arms dealings were often undermined by his youngest sister, Dutana Leara. (SWJ9)

Lee, Karrison
This smuggler frequented the Ace of Sabres on Kluistar, but he never seemed to win at any of the games. He was imprisoned by the Empire three times, and had the good luck to escape each time, and managed to maintain ownership of his starship, the Distant Sunrise. (WSV)

Leebo
see LE-BO2D9 (SE)

Leebo, Bovit
This Rodian holographer was noted for his work in chronicalling of various Hutt criminal empires. It was one of these assignments which ultimately led to Leebo's death. He had been hired to take footage of Ka'Pa the Hutt, who believed that the footage would be used to glorify his empire. When Leebo's footage angered Ka'Pa, he had the Rodian executed. The footage fell into the public domain, and was eventually used for the "Hutt" entry in Riccix's Revised Basic Holodictionary. (WOTC)

Leebsie-lurker
This large insect, native to the planet Tatooine, was carnivorous. These insects often lived inside the engines of speeders and swoops, crawling out after the vehicle came to a stop to feed on the insects which were splattered on the grilles and filters. (X2)

Leech
This was a slang term used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe a spy or intelligence agent who also had acquisition skills. (GG9)

Leechwing
This strange creature, resembling a flying leech, was native to the swamps of Dagobah. (LF3)

Leed
This Rutanian youth was the first-born son of King Frane, and the heir to the throne of Rutan, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. He had spent most of his life on the moon Senali, in accordance with tradition, but refused to return to Rutan on his sixteenth birthday. Frane refused to believe that Leed had made the decision on his own, and accused Meenon of forcing the boy to stay. However, the Jedi Knights Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi learned that Leed had felt out of place on Rutan all his life, and genuinely wanted to remain on Senali. Leed revealed that his father, King Frane, had once sent him to jail for refusing to take part in a hunt. Leed had even enlisted the help of his adoptive sister, Drenna, in hiding out on a remote island. After meeting with the Jedi, Leed even offered his position as heir to the throne of Rutan to his brother, Taroon, in an effort to remain with the Senali. Unknown to Leed, however, Taroon had been planning to unseat his brother all along. Taroon's plans were too far along to stop, and a group of disguised Rutanians captured Leed an held him prisoner. Taroon hoped to blame the kidnapping on the Ghost Ones, thereby creating a void in the Rutanian monarchy which he would fill. However, King Frane wanted only Leed to succeed him. The two Jedi eventually rescued Leed and brought both brothers to Rutan, where they explained themselves to their father. Frane realized that Leed truly enjoyed the company of the Senali, and also that Taroon was not merely a "second son." In the end, Frane discovered that Taroon would be a better leader than Leed, and he allowed Leed to return to Senali as the first official ambassador for both worlds. (SP)

Leeda, Sabo
This male Aqualish was a pirate of some renown during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He worked briefly with Meeko Ghintee before the Muttani was arrested, and later worked with Quallung Tula, Grillo Zaman, Bado Karpa, and Tuba Acho to steal fuel cells from the Outland Transit Station during Ghintee's escape from Oovo IV. However, a bounty was placed on all their heads by Rozatta, and Sabo Leeda was captured by Jango Fett shortly afterward. (BH)

Leeds
This Imperial Navy Lieutenant served on the Interrogator, under Captains Vharing and Nolaan, during the Galactic Civil War and the early months of the New Republic. He was not especially well-liked by his crewmates, becing something of a glory-seeker and risk-taker. He was also not especially adept at strategy and tactics, and had been passed over for promotions because of his inability to learn. During a raid on the planet Qlothos, Leeds took command while Captain Vharing slept. A TIE Bomber raid went horribly wrong, resulting in the deaths of sixty civilians in the planet's capital, including a high-ranking Kuat Drive Yards engineer and his family, who were on vacation at the time. Vharing was later executed by High Inquisitor Tremayne for the error. (TFNR, SWJ11, OWS)

Leeds, Ocandra
This woman was one of the many workers who went on strike, after Chancellor Palpatine announced that there would be a vote on the formation of an Army of the Republic, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. Leeds was the unofficial leader of a group of more than 500 workers who protested the formation of the army, claiming that tax credits collected on Chandrila would be sent to the Republic for the army, rather than staying on Chandrila to pay for civil services and local security. (HNN4)

Leefari Sea
This red-orange body of water was located near the cuty of Calius saj Leeloo, on the planet Berchest. (TLC)

Leektar
This Ewok was the younger brother of Keoulkeech, and grew up alongside his brother in the Red Bush Grove on the Forest Moon of Endor. However, Leektar lacked Keoulkeech's ability to interact with the natural world, a fact that was visibly demonstrated by the minimal growth of his soul tree. Leektar found nothing in which he could excel until he fell win love with Chesea, and Leektar became a devoted husband and father of three Woklings. However, in a selfish moment, Leektar prayed to the Leaf Queen for increased status among his tribe. Shortly afterward, a bolt of lightning struck the village of Red Bush Grove, setting off a forest fire that destroyed the village and killed all the Ewoks in it. Only Leektar survived, and he realized that his selfish desires had come true. He felt responsible for the loss, knowing that his wish had caused the destruction. Leektar left Red Bush Grove behind, and set out into the forest, where he encountered a scouting party from another Ewok tribe being harrased by Imperial stormtroopers. His timely intervention saved the scouts, who brought Leektar back to their home of Bright Tree Village. There, he became one of Chief Chirpa's advisors, and was given the title of Honorary Elder for his bravery. After the Battle of Endor, Leektar was reunited with his brother, Keoulkeech, who had survived the fire at Red Bush Grove and had dedicated himself to healing the forests. (SWDB)

Leela
This Dathomirian Witch was a member of Zalem's clan. When Ros Lai revealed her true nature to the other Witches, Leela tried to convince her to rejoin the clan. Ros Lai, however, had plans of her own, and killed Leela in order to protect her secret. (SWIE)

Leelu
Vor Childermoss's huge, mute bodyguard, Leelu was a hulking humanoid of unknown origins. When they were captured by the Five while pursuing the Millennium Falcon, Leelu and Childermoss were killed by Mavin. Childermoss had drawn a weapon on Suzal, and Mavin shot them both with his black fireclaw. (CSWDW)

Leem, Maks
This female Gran was one of the many Jedi Masters who remained on Coruscant during the Clone Wars, teaching the young students who were too green to participate in the fighting. She had been one of the participants in the Battle of Geonosis, and had regretted the slaughter of lives that accompanied the so-called Republic "victory." She feared that the younger generation of Jedi students and Padawans would emerge into the galaxy having only known combat and violence. As Master Leem put it, they were being "weaned on poisoned milk." She spoke to Master Yoda about moving the Jedi Temple away from Coruscant, to escape the clouding of the Force that was experienced by the Jedi Knights of the era. Upon her return to Coruscant after leaving Geonosis, Master Leem took Whie Malreaux as her Padawan. Years later, they were dispatched - along with Yoda, Jai Maruk, and Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy - on a mission to meet with Count Dooku on Vjun. It was on Phindar that the Jedi were caught by Asajj Ventress and a squad of assassin droids. It was during the fighting that Master Leem realized that her aversion to the war had led her away from combat training, and that her skills as a fighter were rusty. Although she managed to destroy several droids, Master Leem took a spray of flechette razors in the leg, dropping her to the ground. She managed to take out a couple more of the assassin droids before being faced with Ventress herself. The Dark Jedi was able to slice a gaping wound across Leem's stomach before Maruk could reach her side. As she lay dying, she tried to keep Maruk from joining the fight, knowing that Ventress would kill him, too. Maruk failed to see her silent plea, and was eventually killed by Ventress as well. Master Leem knew that she would go to her death knowing that he had fought as hard as he could. With Maruk vanquished, Ventress returned to Maks Leem and drove her red-bladed lightsaber through the Gran's chest, making Master Leem the eighteenth Jedi Ventress had killed. The deaths of the Jedi Master left their Padawans alone, until they were rescued by Yoda. (YDR)

Leem, Stonias
This being worked for Tendrando Arms, on the moon Drewwa, during the years following the Swarm War. Many years earlier, Leem was presented with the Amulet of Kalara as a gift from the victory of the Insurrection of Iliabath, for his assistance in providing them with armaments. (LF4)

Leemurtoo System
This star system was located in the Core Worlds, and its position in the galaxy made it a strategic holding for the Empire, during the early months of the New Order. Despite its importance, the Leemurtoo System had just two planets, Samaria and Rosha. (LJ5, LJ6)

Leen, Asador
This being worked at the Xizor Transport Services refueling depot on Karnst, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. He was the Crew Chief on duty when the Moulee-Rah Patogga made an emergency landing at the facility, only to be captured by law enforcement officials and Jedi Knights for carrying a hold full of ryll spice. (HNN5)

Leesa One-Eye
This human female was born on a backwater world, and grew up learning the skills of a free-trader. During a particular run, her ship was caught by an Imperial customs frigate. The officer in charge delibertely injured with a knife, slashing her face and causing her to lose the use of her left eye. She left the free-trade business, obtained a cybernetic replacement for her eye, and joined the Ropagi II security forces. She was quick-witted and impulsive, but showed that she could make snap judgments that resulted in success more often than failure. Her hard work eventually paid off, as she was promoted to the position of Security Chief of the Off-worlders' Quarter. Her run-in with the Imperial customs officer left a bitter taste in her mouth, and she did not mourn the death of Emperor Palpatine for very long. (TSK)

Leet, So
This Cerean was active in the politics of his homeworld, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. (SWRPG)

Leethe, Sythluss
This Sluissi owned and operated the modified YT-1300 freighter known as The Maker. In order to prevent the ship from being stolen, Leethe installed a wide range of security and anti-theft systems aboard the ship. Leethe was a black market droid manufacturer, and often traveled in his ship under the false identification of the One Shot. Unfortunately for Leethe, T'Charek Haathi and her Alliance shipjacking team managed to get by The Maker's systems and steal the ship. (SWJ13)

Leffingite
This alien race was native to the planet Almak. Leffingites were short-statured beings who were distinguished by their ovine faces. A group of short horns sprouted from their foreheads, and their large ears stuck out from their skulls. The Leffingites were subdued by Imperial forces during the height of the New Order. (SWDB, OWS)

Lefken, Rars
A grizzled starship Captain, he was the owner of the vessel Lefken's Dreams. There were small creatures living in his thick beard and hair, although he doesn't seem to mind. Lefken once tried to bully the Weequay guards which patrolled the Nwarcol Point space station, and suffered such injuries that he was unable to fly for several weeks. (SWSB, SSR)

Legacy
This was one of two Imperial Star Destroyers, along with the Burning Vengeance, which were equipped with prototype weapons systems at the Kuat Drie Yards, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. They were dispatched to the planet Belgaroth for testing. House Andrim, which developed the weapons system, hired a group of freelance agents to investigate the ships and ascertain the effectiveness of the weapons, so that they could negotiate a fair price for them. (CCW)

Legacy
This unusual starship was rebuilt by Darrus Jeht, at the Almas Academy, during the height of the Clone Wars. Master Jeht was unable to explain its appearance, which caused considerable cafeteria discussion among the other Jedi. The ship arrived at Almas in a series of untraceable crates, most of which seemed to have originated in the Taris System. Over the period of six months, Jeht rebuilt the ship, although he believed that at least one crate of parts from the original vessel was lost in shipment. He had to called in several favors to locate the exotic replacements, and even then wasn't sure if the craft was complete. The name Legacy had been provided by Trilinae, another Jedi on Almas who spent almost as much time in the hangars as Jeht did. When Master Jeht was assigned to the Maelstrom, he ordered the ship's crew to make room for the Legacy in one of the hangar bays, so that he could keep the ship near him.

During the hours following Darth Sidious' command to execute Order 66, Master Jeht only barely survived to return to Cularin, thanks to several daring and risky deceptions carried out by his astromech droid, R-0. However, the Maelstrom took heavy damage, and was unable to fully react when the Separatist warship Shadowblade arrived at Cularin. Seeing that his only course of action was to ram the Shadowblade, Master Jeht ordered R-0 to take command of the Legacy and fly it back to Milinae. (LFCW)

Legacy of Torment
This Yuuzhan Vong Kor Chokk grand cruiser was assigned to Shedao Shai, during his attempt to continue the invasion of the galaxy. It was the flagship during the Battle of Garqi as well as the Battle of Ithor. However, after Shedao Shai's death, Deign Lian took command of the ship and ordered the destruction of Ithor. Billions of lethal bioweapons were dropped onto Ithor's surface, rendering the planet lifeless almost immediately. Once the planet was rendered lifeless, Lian ordered the Yuuzhan Vong fleet back to Dubrillion. Unknown to the Yuuzhan Vong, New Republic Admiral Traest Kre'fay had ordered the Corusca Rainbow to Ithor, and he used its gravity well projectors to hold the Yuuzhan Vong fleet near Ithor. Kre'fey then ordered all ships to fire on the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. The New Republic's forces decimated the fleet, and the Legacy of Torment was destroyed. The ship crashed into Ithor, setting off intense, planet-sweeping fires. (DTR, WOTC, NJOSB)

Legacy YT Indigo Blue
This space station was erected by the fledgling Alliance in orbir around Dantooine, as a staging location for the establishment of a base on the planet's surface. After the Empire moved into the system and forced the Alliance to abandon its base, the Legacy YT Indigo Blue station was scoured by Imperial forces and left empty. It later became a stopover point for independent space traffic into and out of the system. (SWGAL)

Legal Arms, Limited
This legal arms dealership was formed by Jarl Narvis and his wife, Gille, during the final years of the Old Republic. The mission of the small corporation was to work with the Cularin Militia to move weapons and equipment to various locations throughout the Cularin System. Thus, their work was not considered illegal gunrunning, but a legitimate service being provided to Cularin. The corporation suffered a major setback when Jarl was executed by Toric Bisilt and his Thaereian thugs, but Gille managed to get the business up and running again shortly afterward. (BIT1)

Legal Authorization for Advanced Confinement Documents
Known as LAACDocs, these papers were devised and implemented by High Inquisitor Tremayne. These were certified documents that allowed for the detention and confinement of specific individuals wanted by the Empire, and they authorized government officials to use whatever necessary to apprehend and detain beings wanted specifically for questioning by Tremayne himself. In most cases, the target of a LAACDoc was never actually arrested, just detained for questioning. The fact that very few of these beings ever were seen again was immaterial. Many local governments chafed at the idea of having another piece of paperwork to shuffle, since LAACDocs often superceded or interfered with a Governor or Moff's ability to issue a bounty on a being for their capture. (GG10)

Legally Authorized Law Authority
Known as LA-LAs to their opponents and detractors, this corrupt security force was hired by the Shesharile government to protect their system. (SWJ6)

The Legate, which had a value less than that of the Commander, referred to a being who was good at heart, although the suit in which it appeared often explained more about the person. (LCM)

Legion Condor EX
This was a series of small, personal starships that were produced during the early years of the New Republic. Because these ships were small and easy to maintain, they were often encountered in the starship pools of rental agencies. (GPB)

Legion of Alderaan
This branch of the Alliance's military was made up from survivors of the destruction of Alderaan and their supporters. They recited a battle chant before entering combat, invoking memories of their homeworld and the battlefields of the Galactic Civil War to spur them on. (RASB)

Legions of Lettow
This ancient army of former Jedi Knights tried to carve out an empire for itself, during the earliest recorded history of the Old Republic. The Legions of Lettow were formed by General Xendor, who supported included those natives of the planet Tython who could control the Bogan, or what would later be known as the Dark Side of the Force. The Legions of Lettow were formed in the wake of the Force Wars and the First Great Schism, when Xendor rebelled against the strictures of the ancient Jedi order. In one of their first major confrontations, the Jedi Knights were able to defeat the Legions of Lettow and restore peace to the galaxy. (PJSB, NECH, SWI88)

Legions of Shadow
This was the term used by Lord Shadowspawn to describe the military forces he commanded. (LSSM)

Legislative and Regulations Statute Amendment
This amendment to Galactic Alliance law was constructed by the legal droid HM-3, under the command of Jacen Solo. The amendment gave Solo - as well as Cha Niathal and Cal Omas - the ability to "relieve regulatory burdens… without the need to refer the issue to committees, councils, or even the full Senate," provided that their requests were within budgetary constraints. Few beings recognized that the subtle text of the amendment also gave Jacen the ability to alter other legislation, even members of the Senate, who were more concerned with the potential costs involved with the amendment.

The civil rights group known as Citizen Watch questioned whether or not the amendment would be retroactive or not, and after a brief debate, the amendment was passed through the Senate and enacted into law. (LF5)

Legislative Hall
Located in the capital city of Curamelle, this was the primary seat of Corulag's government. The House of Citizens was located near the Hall. During the Clone Wars, several Separatist attacks levelled parts of the Hall and cut off all power sources. (WOTC)

Legislative Youth Program
Based on the planet Chandrila during the last years of the Old Republic, this government education program chose some of the Republic's brightest children to serve as "Senators" to a mock Galactic Senate. The program introduced participants to the daily activities within the Galactic Senate, and allowed the junior senators to roleplay within the existing political climate of the galaxy. (HNN5)

Legislature, The
This was the name of the main political body which governed the planet Salliche, during the last years of the New Order. (SWJ2)

Legorburu, Ixidro
This M'haeli served as an officer in the New Republic Intelligence agency. He was Pakkpekatt's tactical aide during the search for the Teljkon vagabond at Gmir Askilon. As he rose through the ranks, Legorburu eventually earned the rank of Colonel with the New Republic's Defense Force. He was chosen to be the director of the Home Fleet's Battle Assessment Division, and was one of the primary statisticians during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. (SOL, HT)

LeGrange
Manufacturers of large-scale targeting computers. (SCRE)

Legworm
A limbed slug-like insect native to the planet Karra, the average legworm measured ten meters in length and a meter in diameter. Ten sections of the legworm's body had two long legs, and its head was studded with a pair of silvery eyes and sharp, pinching mandibles. The Karrans discovered a way to use groups of legworms in battles, allowing the insects to attack their enemies. (SWJ1)

Legwritz
This was the Snivvian word for "contract." (HNN5)

Leh, Fa'ale
This Lethan Twi'lek female was hired by Raith Sienar to deliver the prototype Sith Infiltrator to Darth Maul, during the months leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Before her work for Sienar, Leh was a noted pilot whose daring skills had always impressed her employers, who were most often crimelords who needed a shipment of spice delivered quickly and without incident. Sienar approached her sometime before the Battle of Naboo, offering to pay her to transport his prototype Infiltrator to its unseen buyer. She agreed, knowing that her acceptance of the job would also mean she was an expendable asset. Nevertheless, she took the job, and at the last possible moment, managed to escape Sienar's grasp and flee to the Outer Rim. She spent several years wandering from planet to planet, trying to hide out for as long as she could. She was finally located on Naos III by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker some thirty-six months after the Battle of Geonosis, although Darth Sidious seemed to have known about her all along. She was using the alias Genne at the time, hoping to escape notice. However, as soon as the Jedi located her, a group of assassins and mercenaries attacked them. Fa'ale wanted to simply surrender to the inevitable, tired of running and hiding and watching over her shoulder. During their escape, Fa'ale revealed that she delivered the Infiltrator Sienar had built to Coruscant; more specifically, to The Works. (LEV)

Lehesu
This curious and imaginative Oswaft freely chose to swim out of the StarCave and discover what lay in the Open Sea of space beyond, during the early years of the New Order. Because of his impetuousness, Lehesu nearly died of starvation, because the Open Sea lacked the sort of materials that his people consumed in the StarCave. Luckily for Lehesu, he encountered the Millennium Falcon in the deep-space void. He managed to communicate his need for sustenance to Vuffi Raa, who was able to fine-tune the ship's communications equipment to communicate with the Oswaft. By expelling much of what Lando Calrissian considered refuse, Vuffi Raa was able to provide Lehesu with food. The two shipboard beings then established a friendship with Lehesu who, at nearly 500 meters in length, was considered still very young for his species. Due to his inquisitive nature, Lehesu was a loner in the StarCave, especially when he questioned the status quo and openly wondered if the Oswaft were truly safe in the StarCave. Because of his friendship with Vuffi Raa and Lando Calrissian, however, Lehesu was able to convince Lando to travel to the StarCave and help his people survive an Imperial Navy blockade. Lando brought the various nutrients needed by the Oswaft, in the forms of ordinary human garbage and refuse, and ejected it into the StarCave. Lehesu's trip to the Open Sea also brought trouble, however, for he unwillingly provided Rokur Gepta with the knowledge of the StarCave's location. During the defense of the ThonBoka, Lehesu suddenly fled the area, having heard that Rokur Gepta had dispatched a courier to execute the families of any officer who countermanded his orders. Lehesu caught up to the courier and destroyed it, thereby cutting off Gepta's fleet from the rest of the Empire, and ensuring that the ThonBoka would remain isolated and free. Upon his return, Lehesu was offered the opportunity to join the Elders in leading the Oswaft, but he turned down the offer. He claimed that he didn't want to give any orders to other Oswaft, nor did he want to receive orders. He simply wanted his people to be free to make their own choices. (LCS)

Lehhett, ris
This man served as an Admiral in the navy of the Centrality during the height of the New Order. In the decades following the Battle of Endor, Sris Lehhett worked to gather power and funding, and eventually installed himself as the Scrivinir of the Centrality shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. (GMR5)

Lehon
This was another name for the planet Rakata Prime, referring to its designation as the primary world in the Lehon System. The name Lehon began appearing on the starcharts of the Old Republic shortly after the War of the Star Forge, as the leaders of the Republic sought to eliminate any evidence of the existence of the Rakata. The planet was then designated a historical site, prohibiting starships from entering the Lehon System without proper authorization. The Jedi Knights agreed with the Republic's plans to remove Lehon from the public realm, fearing that its connection to the Dark Side of the Force would cause trouble for any being who stumbled upon it. (DBPD)

Lehon System
This was the star system that contained the planet Rakata Prime, also known as Lehon or the Unknown World. (DBPD)

Leia

Leids, Nabrun
This male Morseerian was a smuggler and pilot for hire who frequented the Mos Eisley cantina, looking for work. He was a former fighter pilot, and will take anyone anywhere...for the right price. After the Battle of Hoth, Leids was contracted to the Drackmarian Omogg, but broke the contract on his own and fled. He was pursued by bounty hunters, and hid out in the Periphery. (CCG, SSR)

Leiger, Vin
This was Gavin Darklighter's alias used when the Rogue Squadron infiltrated Coruscant. Vin Leiger was a Rim native who had gotten into trouble and fled from the law. He had hooked up with a Shistavenan Wolfman named Shaalir Resh, which was the alias used by Riv Shiel. (WG)

Leikvold
This was one of the most common surnames found among the human population of Corellia. (GMR9)

Leilana
This female Phindian was once in a relationship with the bounty hunter Jayn. However, Jayn refused to settle down, claiming that he needed to finish one last job before they had enough credits to move to a home in the city of Laressa. One more job turned into several jobs, and Jayn refused to simply give up his career. Even though Jayn named his starship the Leilana's Dagger, she eventually left him. (RF4)

Leilana's Dagger
This was the name of Jayn's starship, named in honor of the love of Jayn's life, Leilana. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the ship was destroyed near Iope, and Jayn was killed, in a dogfight with the Imperial agent known as X-7. (RF4)

Leilani
This was the capital city of the planet Delaya. Like most other cities on the planet, Leilani was a manufacturing center during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. However, the destruction of Alderaan meant that Delayan goods were no longer in need, and Leilani's factories quickly fell into disrepair. Centuries of industry had polluted the city's air and water, and much of its infrastructure was allowed to crumble. (RF2)

Leisure Corridor

Leith, Aurin
This Alliance doctor was trained in the art of medicine at the Byblos Academy of Medicine, where she was taught to "first, do no harm." She was a native of Coruscant, whose parents were supporters of the Old Republic. When Emperor Palpatine rose to power, their fortunes changed dramatically, and Aurin decided she wanted nothing to do with politics. After her training, she served at the University Faculty Medical Center on Ralltiir, where she first heard of the Alliance from a friend who survived an Imperial interrogation. Her own beliefs and feelings were dedicated mainly to helping the sick, and she grew frustrated at the Empire's bureaucracy surrounding everything she did. After joining the Alliance, Aurin was assigned to the crew of the Pharos. When she was assigned to the assault team that went to Selnesh to liberate Gebnerret Vibrion, she found that her training came into conflict with her duties. Commander Briessen told Aurin that, if she couldn't rescue Vibrion, then she would have to administer a fatal dosage of medicine to keep Virbion's knowledge a secret. Vibrion went along, as part of Lieutenant Haslam's team, with the expectation that she would recover Vibrion alive. While she succeeded in this part of the mission, she was forced to shoot and kill an Imperial stormtrooper who got between them and their escape ship. Aurin received the Field Achievement Award for her part in the rescue mission, but felt that she'd violated her sacred oath to her profession in killing the stormtrooper. (SWJ10, TFE, OWS)

Lek
This was an ancient Twi'lek clan. (PSPG)

Lek, Ingas
This Corellian man led an expedition of 721 colonists to the planet Tuulab, where they had hoped to escape the tyranny of the Empire. (SWJ6)

Lekauf, Erv
This man served the Empire as a Lieutenant in the military, during the early years of the New Order. He was chosen by Emperor Palpatine himself to serve as one half of the genetic material used in a grand plot to create clone troopers who could tap into the Dark Side of the Force. The other half of the genetic material came from the Dark Jedi, Sa Cuis. Palpatine's plan was to pit the Lekauf clones, without any Force sensitivity, against the Force sensitive clones of Cuis, to show Darth Vader that the Force was no match for the loyalty of well-trained soldiers. He found himself initially fearing Lord Vader's disapproval, especially when his clones were regularly defeated by the Dark Jedi clones. However, Vader cultivated his relationship with Lekauf, and worked diligently to earn Lekauf's loyalty, rather than demanding it.

During the training of the clones, Lekauf spent six months on Yinchorr, away from his wife and family. Vader recognized his fear of never seeing them again, and earned Lekauf's loyalty by reassuring him that he would see them when they returned to Coruscant. The most promising of Lekauf's clones were added to the ranks of the 501st Imperial Legion, serving under the command of Vader himself. During the trip back to Coruscant, the Cuis clones rebelled, following their trainer, Sheyvan, on a mission to exact some revenge against the Emperor. Vader and Lekauf led the clone troopers into battle, hoping to defeat the Cuis clones without causing damage to the ship. In the fighting, however, Lekauf leaped in front of Vader to protect him from a blast of Force energy from one of the Cuis clones, apparently unaware that Vader's suit offered more than enough protection. Lekauf suffered serious burns before he was dragged to safety by Vader himself. (OWS, SWI85)

Lekauf, Jori
This man, the grandson of Erv Lekauf, was a member of the 967 Commando unit of the Galactic Alliance Defense Force during the year following the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. Corporal Lekauf was known for his optimisitic, if not simplistic, outlook on life. When the Galactic Alliance Guard was formed under Jacen Solo, Corporal Lekauf was among the members of the 967 Commando who were placed under Solo's command. He made it a point to commend Jacen's choice to lead from the front lines, rather than commanding from a bunker, as he had often heard his grandfather speak of a similar choice made by Darth Vader. However, he rarely made mention of his parents.

Distinguished by his loyalty to the GAG, Lekauf never appeared quite menacing enough to wear the uniform, as his boyish, freckle-covered face clashed with the severity of the uniform. This didn't stop him from trying to live up to the memory of his grandfather, who had served loyally under Darth Vader decads before. LeKauf did not remember Vader as a monster, but as a respected leader who took care of his troops, as evidenced by the stories his grandfather used to tell. His loyalty was only solidified when Solo confronted Tav Vello and Biris Te Gaf about the problems the military was experiencing with poor-quality supplies. Solo invoked the Emergency Measures Act, and had Te Gaf assigned to a front-line warship, where he could personally investigate the problems with the supplies and determine a solution.

Lekauf was soon promoted to Lieutenant, just before being assigned to protect Ben Skywalker on a mission to Vulpter. Skywalker's goal was the assassination of the Corellian Prime Minister, Dur Gejjen, and Lekauf and Lon Shevu were assigned to make sure the mission was completed successfully. Although Skywalker completed the assassination, the trio was caught in the crowd when spaceport officials shut down all portals, in an attempt to identify the shooter. Rather than allow the others to be captured, Jori had been ordered to take a hostage and try to board their starship, claiming that he was the shooter, a Corellian ex-patriot who demanded more from his government. Much to Ben's dismay, Jori carried out his orders to the letter. After reaching the ship, Jori let the hostage go and sealed himself in the ship. Without even trying to escape, he set off a massive bomb, destroying the ship and leaving behind very little in the way of physical evidence. (LF2, LF5)

Lekes, Terrae
This minor ship thief worked the Minos Cluster during the height of the New Order, earning him a small bounty for his capture. (SPG)

This Quarren and and her egg-mate, Tallet, were once native to the city of Heurkea, on the planet Calamari, until a business dealing with Senator Tikkes exposed some of their illicit dealings with the Hutts. Tikkes, rather than have his own name smeared because of his association with them, exposed them as criminals and had the Old Republic police shut down their operation. Tallet and Lekket escaped, and were forced to eke out an existence on Talas. During their escape, the two Quarren noticed that a Jedi Knight was assisting the police, and vowed to gain a measure of revenge on the Jedi for ruining their lives. Tallet and Lekket later hired Aurra Sing to hunt down and kill Tikkes and the Jedi, whom they later identified as the Dark Woman, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. (HFAS)

Lekku
The Twi'lek name for their headtails, lekku was the plural form of the term lek. The lekku of a Twi'lek were used for many things, among them communications and the storage of memories.

Lellish
This alien race was native to the planet Alk'lellish III. (TBSB)

Lelmra
This planet was once the site of one of Garm Bel Iblis' military bases, during the height of the New Order. Later, the base was put to use by Mazzic, during the New Republic's campaign against Grand Admiral Thrawn. The planet was prone to violent thunderstorms, and these storms once caused the bi-state memory plastic buildings used by Bel Iblis' people to revert to their compact state, trapping nearly fifty people inside. (DFR, TLC)

Lem, Roda
This being was a noted member of the Advoszec race. (UANT)

Lemelisk, Bevel
Lemelisk began his infamous career with the Old Republic, designing starships with Walex Blissex. Among his early assignments was the creation of fighter craft for the Geonosian people, a collaboration which provided the initial designs for the Death Star. He had trouble controlling his naturally violent tendencies until the Republic ordered the design and development of the Victory-class Star Destroyer. Lemelisk put himself into the work, creating the basis for a new generation of capital ships that eventually grew into the Eclipse-class terrors of the subsequent clones of Emperor Palpatine.

After Palpatine rose to power, Lemelisk was sequestered at the Maw Installation, and was chosen by Grand Moff Tarkin to serve as the head of design for the first prototype Death Star. An overweight man with pale features, including spiky white hair, Lemelisk was killed by Emperor Palpatine for not fully reporting any possible flaws with the first Death Star, primarily an unshielded exhaust port. Palpatine had him eaten alive by the piranha beetles from Yavin 4, but not before Palpatine had his mind and his memories transferred into a waiting clone.

In cloned bodies, Lemelisk continued to serve the Empire ever since, although his character flaws resulted in the need for a total of seven cloned bodies, following numerous executions for failures. Lemelisk was responsible for the design of the Tarkin warship, and repaired the flaws of the first Death Star for the second battle station that was built near Endor. When the Empire began to crumble following the deaths of Palpatine and Thrawn, he became indentured to Durga the Hutt, and helped Durga create the Mineral Exploiters.

The mining ships were a ruse for the real plot in Durga's mind, the creation of a new Death Star. This was the real reason for his serving Durga: to revamp the old designs and created a new super weapon. He redesigned the old Death Star, removing nearly everything but the superlaser itself. This new design was dubbed the Darksaber, since it appeared to be a huge, space-going lightsaber when the superlaser was activated. However, Durga's frugality and Sulamar's ineptness meant that Lemelisk was forced to build with second-rate, outdated materials and components. On top of that, Durga insisted that Lemelisk use the captive taurills as workers, and they were too easily distracted to perform a quality job.

Lemelisk reworked many systems himself, in order to keep the setbacks hidden from Durga's eyes. In the end, too many poor systems and too much inferior material told him that the Darksaber would never function properly. When the New Republic infiltrated the Darksaber, Lemelisk slipped away in the confusion, and escaped in a maintenance pod. He was captured by the Yavaris and taken to Coruscant for trial. When he was finally sentenced to death, he remarked, "At least make sure you do it right this time." (DSTC, JS, DS, EGV, E2, NEGC, NECH, DSTR)

Lemmeloth, Arbian J.
This man was an agent of the Galactic Republic's Intelligence agency, during the height of the Clone Wars. He was apprehended while trying to tail Besany Wennen, near the Galos Mall area of Coruscant's Galactic City, and was brought in for questioning by Ordo. Lemmeloth claimed to be Chadus, a low-level clerk, but Ordo refused to accept this alias. He sliced into the Republic's computer network, and discovered Lemmeloth's true identity. He also discovered that Lemmeloth had been assigned to an exceptionally high security clearance, and was just a few promotions away from reporting directly to Chancellor Palpatine himself. Lemmeloth refused to provide any real information, although he did admit that his office had been watching Agent Wennen, and that any action against him would lead to her eventually. Ordo was nonplussed by his words, and sliced into Lemmeloth's personal comlink frequency to send a report that Wennen had returned home without making contact with anyone. When Lemmeloth still refused to cooperate, Ordo simply shot him in the temple, eliminating any chance that Lemmeloth would expose Wennen's activities. (RC66)

Lemmer
This was a race of small, humanoid beings. (RP)

Lemo
This man was one of the leaders of a smuggler gang, along with Sanda, which operated on the planet Arcan IV during the height of the Galactic Civil War. They hoped to steal the Dancing Goddess and the Minstrel, in order to help fund their operations. After a brief struggle with Lando Calrissian and Barpotomous Drebble, Lemo found himself in possession of the Minstrel. Lemo had used it as the basis for his organization's funding, but he landed in prison and couldn't control things from there. When Han Solo questioned Lemo about it, Lemo agreed to turn the statue over in return for his freedom and a wealth of credits. (LTA4, MC79, MC99)

Lemora, Gavele
This middle-aged Corellian woman, distinguished by her cold gray eyes, served as the Minister of Intelligence under Five Worlds Prime Minister Dur Gejjen, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Willems, along with Gejjen and Gavele Lemora, formed the heart of the new government that was established in the wake of Thrackan Sal-Solo's assassination. The group was responsible for planning the murder of the Hapan Queen Mother, Tenel Ka, a plot that ultimately failed. The Corellians has hoped that Tenel Ka's murder would allow the Heritage Council to assume control of the Hapes Cluster, setting the stage for the Hapans to secede from the Galactic Alliance and join the Corellians in defending their freedoms. (LF3,LF4)

Lemurtoo System

Len, Issan
This man was an expert in artificial intelligence and droid programming. He was known as the creator of the X0-X1 prototype, a droid he hoped to develop as a central controller of space station operations. However, as the experimental development of X0-X1 progressed, Doctor Len started to see problems in its personality. He hired Doctor Vreen away from Bioniip Laboratories, hoping to have Vreen solve the problems he had encountered. Len then contacted Walex Blissex and told him about the X0-X1 prototype, hoping to turn the technology over to the Alliance. However, Vreen soon stole the prototype and planned to sell it to the Empire. The Alliance dispatched a team of agents to protect Doctor Len, but they arrived on Cloud City too late to save him. Len was killed by F-3PO, a droid which had been taken over by X0-X1, before the Alliance agents could rescue him. (CCC)

Lena
This young Twi'lek female lived in the Lower City of Taris, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. She spent much of her time with her boyfriend, Griff, who was trying to survive with his sister, Mission Vao.

Just prior to the Battle of Yavin, Administrator Lenc was forced to deal with a revolt that was staged by his miners, many of whom died whiel trying to escape from Weldi III. Lenc eventually regained control of the colony, and instated more brutal regulations in order to keep the miners subservient.

Shortly afterward, Administrator Lenc learned that Praaelon Di had been selling weapons to not only his own police force, but to the rebellious miners as well. Angry at being deceived, Lenc hired a number of bounty hunters and pirates to track Praaelon Di down and bring him back to Weldi III for punishment. However, not even Boushh could bring in the gunrunner, and Lenc suddenly found himself the hunted instead of the hunter. Di and his rebel friends made the trip to Weldi III, where they cornered Administrator Lenc and a group of miners on one of the mineshafts. Unfortunately for Lenc, his miners turned on him at the last minutes, and joined the fighting on the side of the rebels. In the end, Administrator Lenc was killed before he could escape. (SWMW)

Lench
This man served the Old Republic naval forces as a Captain, and was in command of the By'ynium during the mission to liberate the Intergalactic Communications Center from the Separatists, some two and a half years after the Battle of Geonosis.

Lenitor, Vadon
This only child of the noted ghest slayer Kalon Lenitor, this female Rodian grew up in relative ease because of her father's legendary exploits. Nevertheless, she put a great deal of hard work into her schoolwork and her labors, and her parents fostered her beliefs in earning one's keep. Following in her father's footsteps, Vadon became known as a ghest slayer in her own right. Eventually, though, Vadon decided to try her hand at bounty hunting, and was modestly successful before she joined the Granse Confederacy as a full-time hunter. She was believed to have taken part in the break-in of the Alliance base on Mapuzo, but no proof was ever found to implicate her. (AIR)

Lenk

Lennox, Xamuel
This Imperial Navy Captain was in command of the Star Destroyer Tyrant during the Battle of Hoth. Lennox was somewhat of an anomoly in the Imperial Navy, being dedicated to his ship and crew while disliking political maneuvering for power.

The son of several generations of military officers, Captain Lennox hated the politcal maneuvering that accompanied most promotions in the Imperial armed forces. However, he found that his noble ideals would eventually prevent him from rising through the military command structure, and soon became adept at manipulating a situation to his advantage. He did not forget his upbringing, though. He often viewed the Galactic Civil War as a battle between the Alliance's immoral attitude and the Empire's growing evil.

Captain Lennox continued to command the Tyrant until the Battle of Endor. In the wake of the Empire's defeat and so-called Bacta War, Lennox and his ship were captured by the New Republic. Lennox was imprisoned, and the Tyrant was renamed as the Rebel Dream. (CCG, SWI96)

Lenoan, Risi
This woman served as the Senator from the planet Kuat, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. She personally turned over the first Aethersprite-class interceptor to Adi Gallia and the Jedi Knights, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. However, she was removed from office after several clerical and bookkeeping errors indicated that she had been receiving funding from Kuat Drive Yards, although it was not onbvious if she was receiving the funds illegally. Onara Kuat personally chose Lenoan's replacement, Giddean Danu. (HNN4, SWDB)

Lenovar
It was believed that this man once assaulted Sintas Vel, prompting Boba Fett to try and locate the man and make him pay for the attack. Sintas refused to let Fett go, and tried to talk him out of it. Fett later revealed to Sintas that Lenovar had been a Journeyman Protecctor on Concord Dawn, and had been Fett's commanding officer at the time of the attack. Fett felt betrayed by Lenovar's actions, which he deemed to have been a betrayal of his uniform. Fett ultimately killed Lenovar to avenge Sintas, and he ruthlessly questioned Sintas about the true parentage of their daughter, Ailyn Vel. Fett admitted to Sintas years later that he would have like to have killed Lenovar a few more times for what he had done. (LF5, LF8)

Lens
This was the alias used by a spy who had infiltrated the Old Republic's bota processing operations on the planet Drongar, during the height of the Clone Wars. Lens was the alias he used when working with the Black Sun organization, who paid part of his salary. The other part was paid by Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, which was also interested in grabbing a large share of bota. To the Separatists, he was known simply as Column. Lens had been monitoring the actions of Admiral Tarnese Bleyd and Filba the Hutt, and was forced into action when Filba purposely destroyed a bota transport in an effort to drive up the prices. Acting on orders that served both of his masters, Lens slipped a deadly poison into Filba's food, eliminating the Hutt and his machinations. Lens then set up a meeting with the Nediji assassin Kaird, who had also been dispatched to Drongar by Black Sun, to ensure that their missions were not in conflict. It was the Jedi Padawan Barris Offee who discovered that Lens was actually the base's minder, Klo Merit. Although Offee tried to go through official channels to have Merit detained, Jos Vondar took matters into his own hands. He confronted Merit with the evidence, and shot the Equani in the chest before he could escape. (MBS, MJH)

Lensi
This Duros served as a pilot in the New Republic's Rogue Squadron, during the period following the Battle of Duro. In the attack on the Yuuzhan Vong shipwomb which was growing in the Sernpidal system, Lensi served as Rogue Twelve. Months later, after the death of Commander Yurf Col and several Duros-commanded starships at Duro, Lensi decided to resign his commission with Rogue Squadron and the Galactic Alliance. He claimed that he had been betrayed by both General Wedge Antilles and by Jaina Solo. Jaina tried to calm Lensi down and get him to reconsider his decision, but Lensi was committed to his choice. Lensi later decided not to resign, after Wedge Antilles returned to Corellia. He returned to his place in Rogue Squadron, and eventually became the squadron's leader. During Jacen Solo's attempt to capture Centerpoint Station, some ten years after the of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, Lensi was shot down and killed in the fighting. Ironically, Lensi was shot down by Wedge Antilles, who was flying as Rakehell Leader on a mission for the Jedi Order. (EVR, FP, LF7)

This man, once a prisoner of the Absolutes on his homeworld of New Apsolon, was part of a covert group of Workers which plotted to assassinate Roan, some nine years before the Battle of Naboo. During his imprisonment, Lenz had been injected with an incapacitating drug that left his mind open to the demands of the Absolutes. However, repeated injections left severe muscular degeneration on one side of his body, giving him a pronounced limp. It was Lenz who discovered that the Absolutes had re-formed under new leadership, in an effort put an end to the Workers. He then took command of the Workers in an effort to discover the intentions of the new Absolutes and eliminate the threat they posed. He was reluctant to accept the help of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, but was forced to realize that the Jedi had abilities his Workers did not. Lenz helped them meet with Mota, who supplied them with speeders and probe droids to track Balog. However, it was Mota who later provided information to the Jedi that Lenz had been involved in reprogramming the probe droids to avoid attacking Balog. Lenz, for his part, admitted that he was uninvolved with the reprogramming. He did explain to the Jedi that his name was on the list of Absolute supporters that Oleg had in his possession when he was killed, shot by probe droids that had been programmed by Irini. Lenz had, at one time, been interrogated by the Absolutes, and had provided information to them in order to survive. When this information, along with the fact that he had been working with Irini, were revealed to the public, Lenz was arrested and held for questioning. (TTB, DOH, CTV)

Leobund XI, Bode'
This man succeeded his father as the High Lord of House Mecetti, in Tapani Sector, some twenty-one years before the Battle of Yavin. His father was poisoned, although no one seemed to care because his inept leadership had given House Melantha control of the Great Council.

Unknown to most of the revelers, the planet Zeltros was under attack by three separate entities at the same time: the Nagai, the Tofs, and the Hiromi. The Hiromi invasion only managed to gain control of the royal kitchen, but the combined forces of the Alliance, the Zeltrons, and the Hiromi managed to smash the other invasion operations and keep Zeltros free. (EGA, MC104, PH)

The Lepi were a carnivorus race, distinguished by their large incisors and the various colors of their fur, which ranged from green to dark blue. Despite their appearance, the Lepi were a technologically-advanced race, having achieved spaceflight and colonized the five planets in the system and the neighboring asteroid belt. Lepi were considered sexually mature at just ten years of age, and females often gave birth to litters of three dozen or more offspring, resulting in a swift growth in their population. This growth spurred on the development of their space-travel technology, as colony worlds were seen as a response to overpopulation of Coachelle Prime. Individual Lepi were known for their increased metabolism, a trait that often manifested itself as hyper-activity. (SWDB, GMR4)

Lepido Program
This was one of the regular military encryption codes used by the Empire. Ghent was able to crack it during his tenure with Talon Karrde during the height of the New Order. (TLC)

Lepusa
This creature, native to the planet Freliq, had been at the center of a debate ever since its discovery some twenty years before the Battle of Yavin. These one-meter-tall rodents seem to possess a limited form of sentience, and most natives of Freliq swear that there was an innate intelligence in the eyes of a lepusa. Xeonibiologists from other planets claim this was more sentiment and science, and that the lepusa was simply vermin. Large numbers of lepusa were originally killed when the planet was first colonized, but over time the settlers became aware of the lepusa's talents. They live in groups of 70 to 100 individuals, and seem to have a crude social order to their groupings. They were herbivorous, and ate the crops of the original colonists before "learning" that those plantings were off-limits. (COG)

Leresai
An alien race which joined the New Republic, they attacked Bothawui after the revelation of the Caamas Document. The Leresai claimed that the Bothans were responsible for the deaths of two of their own during the riots on Bothawui, and demanded either the guilty Bothans or the deaths of ten Bothans for each Leresai. This was in accordance with Leresan law, which demanded "a claw for a claw, a horn for a horn, a life for a life." Rogue Squadron tried to intervene, but their ships had been sabotaged by Leresan maintenance workers on Di'tai'ni, and were unable to prevent the attack. The Leresai attacked a zero-gee crystal manufacturing plant in orbit around Bothawui, claiming the lives demanded by their law, before the Peregrine could arrive. The actions of the Leresai were hotly debated in the New Republic Senate, especially in light of the Caamas Document's contents. Note that Vision of the Future calls this race "Leresan." (SOP, VOF)

Lergan
This man and his comrade, Hansh, were brutally murdered by Darth Bane, in the wake of the Battle of Ruusan. Lergan and Hansh were part of a mercenary unit that lent its support to the Brotherhood of Darkness, but they lacked any connection to the Force. Thus, they were able to survive the detonation of the thought bomb. Lergan and his fellow mercenaries emerged from the fighting and tried to figure out what to do next, when Darth Bane appeared at their camp. The Sith Lord attacked them without warning, immolating their bodies in Force lightning. Two other mercenaries, Pad and Derrin, were sliced to piece by the Sith Lord's lightsaber.

Lermyn, Gavid
This Thaereian man was sent to the Cularin System to act as a negotiator, after tensions between Cularin and Thaere Privo reached a head, just after the onset of the Clone Wars. Although Lermyn was appointed for his skills, many believed that the Thaereians sent him to Cularin to get rid of him, as he was one of the loudest opponents of planned takeover of the Cularins System. His prominence on Thaere Privo meant that he could not simply be silenced by the Thaereian Military, so he was sent to Cularin to get him away from the Thaereian public. For his role in the greater schemes of the Thaereian Military, Lermyn was unaware that he was being removed from the public eye.

Deep within the jungles of Cularin, Lermyn gathered with leaders of various factions to discuss a possible treaty within the boundaries of the Hirroni irstat. His assassin, Jaris Vollrath, found a position nearly 200 meters from Lermyn, but his cool nerves and marksmanship skills served him well. Only the timely intervention of a freelance agent who had previously worked with Osten Dal'Nay managed to save Lermyn's life, as the agent managed to get between Lermyn and Vollrath's blast, taking the hit to ensure Lermyn's survival.

Upon surviving the assassination, Lermyn spoke openly to the people of Cularin, explaining how the Thaereians saw them and how they had been dupe duped into their current situation. Lermyn even forgave Chancellor Palpatine himself, since it was the Galactic Senate that had allowed Thaere Privo to take control of the Cularin System. (JCT1)

This acronym was used by the scouts of the New Republic to describe any newly-discovered species which "Liked to Eat Scouts." (SWJ13)

LES Display
This was the common name used to describe the laser, engine, and shield information displays that were provided to Imperial TIE Fighter pilots on the fighter's CMD. The three indicators, provided status and power settings for the fighter's laser weapons, engines, and shields, allowing a pilot to configure the power being shunted to each system to match the current flight situation. (TSC)

Les Tech

Lesai
A very addictive, highly illegal drug produced in the Zebitrope System, lesai was created from the purple mold which grew on the back of a certain species of lizards on Zebitrpoe IV. These lizards made their homes among some of the galaxy's most disgusting plantlife, making the harvesting of lesai a time-consuming and costly endeavor. The drug had a number of properties. It could eliminate the need for sleep in humans, as well as extending their lifespan by one-third. It also didn't adversely affect the human brain, so the hallucinations and delusions that resulted from other drugs were avoided. However, the drug made its addicts very mechanical and amoral, so that they acted without emotion, and didn't care about the consequences of their actions. (LCF)

Lesan Squadron
This Imperial ground assault team was part of the first wave of troopers which attacked the Alliance's base on the planet Taul. The attack was completed when the Dominator bombarded the base from orbit, securing the planet for the Imperials. (SWJ2)

LE-series Droid
This was an outdated model of repair droid, originally manufactured by Cybot Galactica some 300 years before the Battle of Endor. Humanoid in stature, the LE-series was designed to be a combination of the protocol of a 3PO droid and the utility of an astromech. In reality, the LE-series was a serviceable mechanic which was sold with minimal programming, but was easily upgradeable. Despite the ability to customize it, the LE-series suffered from its inability to effect certain repairs due to its humanoid shape. Additionally, LE-series droids were factory-programmed to be extremely honest about their ability to perform their tasks, so that starship owners could understand what needed to be done and the consequences of not performing certain maintenance tasks. However, many smugglers learned that this honesty worked in all aspects of the LE unit's work, after starport operators began questioning LE-series droids about their owners' ships. The popularity that Cybot Galactica had hoped for never materialized, and many LE-series droids were purchased and put to use as spaceport administrators. Those units that remained in service continued to perform their jobs efficiently, and were still in services many centuries later. (JE, FTD, AEG, NEGD)

LE-series Droid
This was a series of humanoid droids which was produced during the New Order as database access automata. The LE-series was humanoid was shape, with a polished silver shell. (LTA6, MC80)

Lesh
This young man was a Korun, native to the planet Karuun Kal. During the height of the Clone Wars, Lesh and his younger brother, Besh, joined the Upland Liberation Front in an effort to free their people from the control of the Balawai. Lesh and Besh both hated the Balawai with every fiber of their existence, an emotion based on Besh's torture at the hands of Balawai jups. The brothers fought alongside Nick Rostu and Chalk for many years, until Lesh was bitten by fever wasps and died when their larvae destroyed his brain. In order to ensure that none of the larvae survived to maturity, Jedi Master Mace Windu, who had been traveling with the guerillas to find Depa Billaba, used his lightsaber to destroy Lesh's brain and kill the wasps. (SHPT)

Le'shar
This was the name of a noted Pho Ph'eahian individual. (UANT)

Leshef
This was once of the many names given to Duros females. The feminine form of the name Lai, Leshef meant "charismatic". (GCG)

Lesilk
Known in the Alliance military as "Lockjaw Lesilk," this man was a General in the Alliance, and served as the Sector Commander during the campaign to liberate Matacorn. (HR)

Lesim
This Imperial Major was stationed on Endor's Forest Moon as part of the garrison guarding the second Death Star's shield generators. He was on duty when a pair of stormtroopers bought in Luke Skywalker, who had seemingly surrendered. Lesim wanted nothing more than to get his picture taken with the galaxy's most sought-after criminal, and Luke was forced to use the Force to coerce Lesim into taking him to Darth Vader. (MTS)

Leska
This woman was a Jedi Master when the Clone Wars broke out across the galaxy. Like many of her peers, Leska agreed to accept the rank of General in the Army of the Republic, and was part of the task force dispatched to Jabiim to liberate the planet from Separatist control. After the death of Master Norcuna and the disappearance of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Leska found herself the highest-ranking Jedi - and, therefore, the highest ranking military officer - among the Republic's forces. Master Leska and her clone troopers managed to survive much of the battle, but on the morning of the thirty-seventh day she was shot and killed by enemy fire. (RBJ)

Leskwin, Joss
This Imperial Moff controlled an area of the galaxy which contained the planet Hjaff. He had trouble subduing the native Tarc and their Ivlacav Gourn navy, which had a zero-tolerance policy with intruders. He hoped to gather enough forces to eventually overwhelm the Tarc. (SWJ14)

Lesl, Gin
This woman served the Old Republic as a Commander in the armed forces, during the final years of the Great Galactic War. Commander Lesl led the forces that defended the planet Dantooine from Sith attack, using a combination of enlisted men and hired mercenaries to eliminate the Sith presence on the planet. When the call came to withdraw from Dantooine, following the Republic's agreement to discuss a cease-fire with leaders of the Sith forces, Commander Lesl ordered her combined forces to stand down. Some of the mercenary forces, like Braden, refused to halt their operations, and Commander Lesl was forced to track them down and ensure that they complied with the terms of their contracts. She cut her mission short when she received a vital message from Jedi Master Zym, and returned to Coruscant to meet with him personally. However, upon arriving at the ruins of the Jedi Temple, Commander Lesl was surprised to learn that Master Zym had not contacted her, and that he had believed the meeting had been arranged by her. They were both surprised when Braden suddenly appeared and drew his blaster, shooting Lesl in the chest from point-blank range. Lesl died almost instantly from the blast. (TOP1, TOP2)

Leslomy
This was once of the many names given to Duros females. Its meaning was lost over time. (GCG)

Leso
This mercenary worked from a base on Travnin during the early years of the New Republic. (GUN)

Less Boring
This was a slang term used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe any being who was dead. (GG9)

Lesser Bogwing
This was the smaller of the two subspecies of bogwing native to the planet Dagobah. It hunted in the lower levels of the jungle canopy, feeding on smaller amphibians and reptiles. (WSW)

Lesser Coromon
This was one of the many islands that made up the Coromon Islands chain, on the planet Fresia. Lesser Coromon was the island which was closest to the coast of the ViGureni continent. (CCW)

Lesser Cueva Expanse
One of the Houk colonies on the planet Sriluur, the Lesser Cueva Expanse was located along the planet's equator. (GG12, SSR, GORW)

Lesser Desert Womp Rat
This was a smaler subspecies of womp-rat that lived in the deeper parts of the deserts that covered the planet Tatooine. (SWG2P)

Lesser Dewback
This was a particularly small subspecies of dewback that was native to the planet Tatooine. The coloration of the lesser dewback was similar to that of its more aggressive and larger cousin, the cannibal dewback. However, many settlers and moisture farmers could not tell the two subspecies apart, and many relatively harmless lesser dewbacks were killed by accident. (SWG2P, NEGA)

Lesser Firagh Peninsula
This area of shallow tidal flats was located on the planet Thonner. The peninsula itself was located between the Firagh continent and the Greater Zoun Archipelago. The Thonnermen of the planet's oceans chose not to establish settlements on the peninsula, since it was known as the home of some dangerous wildlife. During the early years of the New Republic, the peninsula served as the base of operations for Korraj and his pirates. (GMR9)

Lesser Galam
The first planet in the Lan System, Lesser Galam was a lifeless ball of searing rock. (SWJ1, OWS)

Lesser Grace
This city was located on the planet Bakura. (FH2)

Lesser Houdoggin

Lesser Kitehawk
This was a smaller species of the kitehawk which was native to Yavin 4. (EVC)

Lesser Mark of Illumination
This was the first Mark of Illumination which could be earned by a devotee of the Chalactan Enlightenment religion. Signified by a small bead affixed to the bridge of the nose, the Lesser Mark of Illumination indicated an individual's devotion to their gods. It was often referred to as the Seeker, since it identified those individuals who aspired to become Chalactan Adepts. This Mark signified the shining vision and elegant order of the universe, as well as the illumination they created within an individual seeking to become an Adept. (SHPT)

Lesser Piq Island
This was the smaller of two connected islands found in the Northwest Coromons, located on the planet Fresia. It was connected to the Greater Piq Island by the Buichol Isthmus. (CCW)

Lesser Plains Bol
This was a particularly small subspecies of plains bol that was native to the planet Dantooine. (SWG2P)

Lesser Plooriod Cluster
A section of the galaxy in which Han Solo and Chewbacca had once run a military scrip exchange scam. It was one of many ill-fated jobs they took in between the time when they exposed the Corporate Sector Authority's slavery ring on Ammuud and when they were hired by Grigmin. It consists of twelve star systems located far from Imperial activity, including the Ottega System. (HSL, SWSB)

Lesser Prophet
This was the title given to any low-level priest who served the Dark Force religion as a member of the Prophets of the Dark Side. (OWS)

Lesser Vaced
This small world was the neighbor of the frontier world Vaced. (MF)

Lesser-known Sentients, Volume 3
This tome, written by the xeno-biologist Xemlorn, further documented some of the galaxy's least-known sentient species. Much of the work was questioned by Xemlorn's peers, since many of the species - including the danchaf of Garban - had never exhibited any form of sentience during other studies. (COG)

Lessev, Kerri
The daughter of Alderaanian diplomats, Kerri grew up on Coruscant. When her parents were rounded up and executed for trumped-up charges of treason against the Empire, she was "adopted" by Emperor Palpatine, along with the children of the other parents who were killed. She was placed in the early COMPNOR SAGroup on Coruscant, under the guideance of Crueya Vandron, and eventually became one of the program's shining starts. Lessev was later recruited into the Imperial Intelligence Destabilization branch, and she became one of Palpatine's most trusted agents. Her role was to factionalize those Imperial nobles and Moffs who tried to undermine Palpatine's efforts, thereby forcing them into competition with themsevlves, rather than allowing them to focus their effort on the Empire. However, just before accepting this role, she viewed some of the Alliance's propaganda and realized the things Mon Mothma and Leia Organa - a fellow Alderaanian - were saying were true. She realized that her parents' disappearances were more than likely the result of Imperial paranoia, and decided to help the Alliance from inside the Empire. She used her position as a Major within Destabilization and manipulated the outcomes of operations in order to benefit the Alliance. It was Kerri Lessev who was responsible for ousting Moff Varnier and removing a number of Imperial agents from Wyloff Sector. (CRO)

Lessor, Jakohaul
This man worked as a maintenance technician at the Chancellor Palpatine Surgical Reconstruction Center, during the final years of the Old Republic. When the facility was renamed as the Emperor Palpatine Surgical Reconstruction Center, Jako kept his job, although many of his co-workers complained of his poor work ethic. Ferus Olin posed as Jako's newest partner, just over a year after the end of the Clone Wars, in an effort to infiltrate the EmPal SuRecon facility.

Known for his love of greasy root chips and a good nap, Jako often left his partners to do all the work. This allowed Ferus to get into the more secure areas of the facility. Before he fell asleep, though, Jako told Ferus about the ghost that supposedly inhabited the facility. The story had its roots in the secret laboratory where Darth Vader was put back together by Emperor Palpatine's surgical droids. Vader's scream upon learning of the death of Padme' Amidala resonated throughout the facility, both physically and psychically.

The average worker was unaware of the source of the scream, although it was said that one worker lost their hearing because of it. Jako and many others believed that the scream was the collective outburst of all the beings who had died during the Clone Wars. (LJ8)

Lessu
This city, located on the planet Ryloth, was controlled by the Fenn and Secura clans. While other cities on the planet were built almost entirely underground, to avoid the temperature extremes that existed along the terminator line Lessu was located on a towering spire of rock that was accessible only by a winding road that led through a deep canyon, providing visitors with a clear indication of its location. Access to the city was limited to a single plasma bridge that spanned the canyon's abyss, ensuring that the city could be defended from inside by shutting the plasma bridge down. During the era of the Clone Wars, Lessu was considered the planetary capital of Ryloth, and the city was captured by Wat Tambor and a group of Separatist battle droids. (ROP, CWOC1, CWTV20, CWTV21)

Lessuris
A planet. (WSV)

LesTech
This small corporation built a series of exploration droids during the Old Republic. Its corporate headquarters were located on Brentaal, and it often partnered with Danth Artifice in its designs. When the Empire came into power, LesTech and its smaller companions were forced out of business by the larger corporations. LesTech, in particular, was eventually taken over by Cybot Galactica. (RASB, FOP, FTD)

Lestin, Zhar
This ancient Jedi Master was in charge of training new students at the Jedi enclave on Dantooine, during the decades following the Great Sith War. He was also one of the Masters who helped students with the construction of their lightsabers. When the former Jedi Revan was captured, Master Lestin and Master Dorak were charged with returning him to the Light Side of the Force. Using their skills, Lestin and Dorak wiped out Revan's knowledge of his past and replaced it with a new identity. They then retrained him in the ways of the Jedi, in order to use him to defeat Darth Malak. Master Lestin was part of the Jedi Convocation that occurred on Katarr several years later, and was killed when Darth Nihilus and the forces of the Sith attacked the planet and laid waste to its surface. (KOTOR, EGF)

Lesu
This planet was located in Dail Sector. (GG11)

Lesvol
Prishardia's second-largest city, Lesvol was much more remote and had far fewer amenities than Nad'Ris. (TFNR)

Leswan
This was the governmental and corporate capital of the planet Yulant. (HNN5)

Lesynn
These Fyodos avians have beautiful golden plumage and delicious meat. They roams the planet's forests, feeding on insects and some plants. Most Fyodoi hunt them for their meat and feathers, although some believe that the Lesynn were messengers from the gods, and should be left alone. (PG2)

Le'tah, Shayl
This female Bothan was a Jedi Knight who was known for her skills as an investigator. (GMR3)

Letaki
An alien race characterized by their eight-tentacled bodies. They have large, egg-shaped heads with four eyes and air-gill slits for breathing. (TJP)

Leth
This was the twelfth symbol in the Aurebesh script, and represents the Basic letter "l". (SWM)

Leth
This name was given to female Zabrak, and meant "early harvest". (GCG)

Leth, Umak
This Imperial engineer was known among his peers to have been quite mad, although none doubted his brilliance. Leth was on the team that refined the original plans for the first Death Star, under the direction of Wilhuff Tarkin. Leth later designed the World Devastators and the Universal Energy Cage, among other weapons of mass destruction. He was a tall, heavy-set human with long, thin moustaches. (DE1, DE2, DSTR)

Lethagoe
This was the name given to the tall, thin offspring from the union of a human and a Kalai. The average lethago stood almost two meters tall, and had a bird-like face that was characterized by its jutting chin, sharp nose, and piercing eyes. Like the Kalai, the lethagoes were secretive, but more willing to venture out into the public areas of Zirtran's Anchor. It was believed that the lethagoes retained the ability of the Kalai to alter their shape or appearance, but this was never proven. (SWJ5)

Lethan Twi'lek
One of the rarer races of Twi'lek, the Lethan race of Twi'leks was distinguished by its deep, reddish skin color. (IG1, DBRT)

Lethe
This planet was known as the location of the Corporate Alliance's headquarters, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis. (VD2)

Lethe Merchandising
This was the principle subsidiary of the Corporate Alliance, during the final years of the Old Republic. Based on the planet Murkhana, Lethe Merchandising made a hefty profit, much of which came from paybacks from the criminal underworld of the planet. Magistrate Passel Argente allowed the black market to thrive, so long as they paid their "taxes" to the Corporate Alliance. (RDV)

Lethorn
This was the name used by the Chagrian species to describe the fleshy growths which hung down from the sides of their heads and draped over their shoulders. Lethorns continued to grow throughout an individual's lifetime, and venerable Chagrians were distinguished by lethorns that came to a point on their chests. (IG1, NEGA)

Lethos, Daxtorn
This man was a student at the Imperial Academy, until he disappeared without a trace a year before he was scheduled to graduate. He reappeared several years later, running high-technology weapons and illicit systems to a variety of criminal organizations. This eventually led his to take up the life of a bounty hunter, and he used a tiny holographic projector - hidden in his belt - to mask his appearance and enhance his chances of success. He often used the holograph device to appear as a dashing young man, keeping his aging appearance a secret. He traveled the galaxy in the INT-66 transport known as the Gorgon. (SWJ4)

Letters of Marque and Reprisal
This was the name of the contract developed by the Alliance to define the relationship between themselves and the privateers they employed to acquire supplies and harass Imperial convoys. Fleet command, Ordnance and Supply, and the Alliance's support services were allowed to issue letters of marque on behalf of the Alliance, although they were most often issued from Ordnance and Supply because that branch of the Alliance was closest to the project to employ privateers. (PP)

Lettrani
This tree, native to the planet Keedad, produced large red seeds that were covered with short spikes. The pods of the lettrani seeds were quite flexible, and would bounce a great distance when they fell from the tree. For this reason, the Keed used them as balls in the sport of lettranin. (CRO)

Lettranin
This sport originated on the planet Keedad, and developed from a game played by the Keed. They used the large, red fruits of the lettrani tree as a ball, and tried to deposit the fruit into a goal using mits and slings. Lettranin was played in a large arena, with two teams opposing each other. In many respects, lettranin was similar to shockball. (CRO)

Leukish
This was the name given to the Tenloss Syndicate's governing council. (EGV)

Leuma
This was a disease invented by Han Solo to help thwart the efforts of Roxi and Slug to capture the Jedi Master Eelysa while on Corellia. Pretending to be a doctor, Han claimed that the medical facility was being quarantined against the newly-discovered leuma, which appeared to be either an airborne virus or spore. (REC)

Lev
This was the shortened name of a noted Chiss individual. (UANT)

LE-V0
This was a series of law enforcement droids, produced by the Rseikharhl race during the height of the New Order. Protected by thick body armor and armed with a pair of blasters, the LE-V0 was known for its restraint in combat. Police records throughout the galaxy point this out, with more that 2,000 arrests having been made by LE-V0s without a single fatality. (FTD)

Levare, Dael
This young Corellian man was the son of one of Corellia's richest families during the early years of the New Order. He was engaged at one time to Bria Tharen, more from her mother's manipulations than from any sort of love. Bria broke off the engagement when she found Dael sneaking around with another woman, much to mother's dismay. When Bria returned to her family after becoming a pilgrim on Ylesia, her mother invited Dael over in order to show up Bria's new beau, Han Solo. It was Dael who recognized Han as Tallus Bryne, precipitating Bria and Han's flight from Corellia. (TPS)

Levatt
This was a common name given to male Duros children. The name Levatt came from the term meaning "relentless" or "eager". (GCG)

Level 42
This was another name for the 42nd Level of Imperial City, on the planet Coruscant. (CN2)

Level H-26
This was the designation of one of the many levels found within the Ploughtekal Market on Coruscant. (CN2)

Level One Lockdown
This was an alert level recognized aboard the warships of the Galactic Alliance navy, during the years following the Swarm War. When a Level One lockdown was issued, all non-essential personnel were required to remain in their quarters, and security teams were to ensure that all sensitive areas were protected from intrusion. However, all weapons were to remain holstered until either the Level One lockdown was called off, or the situation required a change to a Level Two lockdown. (LF3)

Level Three Education
This was one of the most basic levels of education administered to the galaxy's youths, during the final years of the Old Republic. (CN2)

Level Two Lockdown
This was an alert level recognized aboard the warships of the Galactic Alliance navy, during the years following the Swarm War. A Level Two lockdown was generally issued in the wake of a Level One lockdown, in situations where a threat to the ship's security became worse. However, in certain situations, an immediate alert could be issued for a Level Two lockdown.

When a Level Two lockdown was issued, all non-essential personnel were required to remain in their quarters, and security teams were required to unholster their weapons and ensure that all sensitive areas were protected from intrusion. (LF3)

Level Zip Ship
This was spacer's slang for a starship which was an easy target for theft, because it had very few - if any - security obstacles. (SWJ13)

Level-5 Space Station
This was a military-grade space station that was developed during the height of the New Order. (LAWS)

Leveler
This Old Republic assault ship was dispatched to the planet Gaftikar, during the height of the Clone Wars, to assist with the attacks on the Separatist-backed human cities of the planet. Unlike the Acclamator-class assault ships, the Leveler was never intended to land troops on the ground. Instead, it's primary mission was to bombard a planet from orbit, then deploying landing ships to carry troops to the surface. The Leveler, which was under the command of then-Captain Gilad Pellaeon, was part of a task force of warships that was charged with eliminating the communications and tracking satellites that ringed the planet, in an effort to cut off the humans from their Separatist comrades. Ground forces of the Grand Army of the Republic were then sent in to eliminate surface assets. During the fighting, the Leveler took minimal damage from Separatist vessels, while crippling an enemy ship and maintaining its position. This allowed Pellaeon to put the Leveler in a position to recover the wounded and injured members of the GAR, and transport them back to the nearest Republic medical facility. In the months that followed, the Leveler was refitted to carry several new upgrades, including improved concussion missile launchers that fired smart ordinance. However, when an Intelligence operation went wrong on Janfathal, the Leveler was the closest ship of the fleet, forcing Pellaeon to enter the potential battlefield as an observer. The weapons systems were all but inoperative, and the drives did not allow for the rapid movements that might be needed in an escape. Making matters worse was the fact that they were discovered almost as soon as they entered the Fath System, and the Separatist ship that was sent to intercept them was using false transponder codes. While sensors determined that is was the light cruiser Discord, the Separatist vessel was actually the Reaper, a destroyer with more firepower and maneuverability than the Leveler. Pellaeon was forced to jump out of the system for a short time in order to protect his crew, but began planning a jump back to JanFathal as soon as his weapons systems were operative. The central chrono software had failed, and only the timely appearance of Ash Jarvee and the crew of the Wookiee Gunner got them back to JanFathal in time to complete the rescue mission. Another of the Altisian Jedi, Callista Masana, was able to use the Force to fire the ship's malfunctioning concussion missiles, destroying seven Separatist vessels and forcing the remaining two to flee. (RCTC, CWNOP)

Leveler I
This was the designation of Bryn & Gweith's medium concussion missile launcher. The Leveler I was a self-propelled weapon that was designed for fortification and long-range sieges. Twenty-eight missiles could be carried in the weapon, but any additional ammunition had to be carried to it. A number of firing options were avalable, including single fire, a grouping of seven missiles, or all twenty-eight missiles at one time. These weapons became standard issue for Imperial ground forces, although the tracks that allowed the system to move about proved troublesome in harsh weather conditions. (ISB)

Level-Five Droid
A droid whose programming was aimed at heavy, menial tasks such as wrecking and construction. (DRO)

Level-Four Droid
A droid whose programming was more for efficiency rather than for specific roles. Unit Zed describes C-3PO and R2-D2 as level-four droids. (DRO)

Level-One Droid
A droid that had been programmed for leadership roles and/or security positions. (DRO)

Leven
This Alliance transport ship was destroyed by Imperial forces in the Bruanii Sector, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. (TIE, TIEP)

Leverby, Loopy "The Lip"
This being managed one of the most lucrative smuggling operations that were based on the planet Taris, during the era of the Great Sith War. The Leverby organization was eventually exposed and eliminated by the hard work of Oojoh, one of the Jedi Padawans being trained by Master Lucien Draay, just prior to the Mandalorian Wars. (KOR1, KORH)

Levet
This clone trooper, officially designated CC-3388/0021, was part of the Old Republic forces that were dispatched to Qiilura, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Commander Levet was ordered to assist Jedi Knight Etain Tur-Mukan with the extradition of the human colonists of the planet, as part of the Republic's agreement with the Gurlanin. He did not like removing the humans from their homes, but carried out the mission because it was his duty. During the evacuation of the humans, Levet came to realize that Etain was pregnant, although he was careful not to discuss the situation, since she had not mentioned it to him. This was one of the many reasons that he had earned the nickname of Commander Tactful among the rest of the clone troops. He relayed information on Etain's condition to the clone commando Ordo, when Ordo arrived on Qiilura to look after Etain. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Levet took a chance and made the journey to Mandalore, hoping that Kal Skirata would take him in. Skirata was more than happy to welcome Levet into the growing community, and offered Levet the chance to start his own farm. (RCTC, RC66)

Levet
This Mandalorian man was one of many who returned to Mandalore when Boba Fett issued his called for all expatriots to return home, during the years following the Swarm War. Levet established a farm on Mandalore, and offered his lands to serve as the location for the festivities that celebrated the marriage of Ghes Orade and Mirta Gev. Is this man any relation to the clone trooper of the same name? (LF8)

Levian Two
This planet was the site of a raid by Warlord Zsinj's Raptors, during the early years of the New Republic. The Republic fleet led by Han Solo arrived just after the raid ended, and was unable to protect the planet. Rogue, Wraith, Polearm, and Nova Squadrons were dispatched to the planet anyway, in order to help in a search and rescue mission for any downed members of Ravine and Beta Squadrons. Zsinj's forces then dropped out of hyperspace to assault the Republic fleet, but neither side took major losses in the skirmish. (SOC)

Leviasquall
This was a particularly large subspecies of herbivorous squall that was native to the moon Rori. (SWG2P)

Leviathan
Tirsa Wargear's submersible carrier, the Leviathan was originally designed to transport speeders. Over time, many military forces - including the Alliance - modified the hold of the Leviathan to accommodate starfighters. Measuring 200 meters in length, the Leviathan required a crew of 110 to operate. Six gunners were needed to man the three laser cannons which provided protection for the craft. The Leviathan was designed to carry up to 7,500 metric tons of cargo and thirty passengers. (SWJ2)

Leviathan
Once native to the crystalline waters of Dorumaa, these ocean-dwelling mammals were believed to have gone extinct when the former planet was knocked from its original orbit and captured by Almas. These immense creaturs grew to great sizes in the oceans, feeding on all manner of smaller fish and crustaceans. A young individual, just a few years old, could weigh 85,000 kilogrmas or more, depending on their overall health. When the oceans that covered the planet were flash-frozen, most of the leviathans were killed. When Dorumaa began to be terraformed by by the Dorumaa Investment Group, it was learned that a single leviathan individual had survived both the flash-freezing of the oceans and the re-warming of the planet. During the years leading up the Battle of Naboo, the Alliance for the Creation of Habitable Environments worked to protect the leviathan, as did the Dorumaa Resaerch Institute. The work of these two groups intensified when a pair of leviathan calves were born, believed to have been the last offspring of the entire species. The mother of the calves mysteriously disappeared, leaving the two infants to fend for themselves. While some scientists believed that the mother had died giving birth to the calves, others believed that the calves' mother had been frozen beneath the planet's surface in a type of Force-induced trance, and that she had returned to the trance after giving birth. This led to an entire group of researchers who questioned whether or not the leviathans were Force-sensitive. Investigation by xenobiologists, led by the Kel Dor, A. Rahring, found that the leviathan bore a striking resemblance to the immense star cruisers produced by the Mon Calamari. This led many to believe that the leviathan species had, at some point, been imported to Dorumaa from Calamari, although there was no evidence to prove this. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, one of the calves also disappeared, and many beings believed that it had been kidnapped by Rufus Trammel. Their beliefs were proved correct when Trammel was apprehended, and the male calf known as Jessel was liberated from his possession. (LFCW, DC)

Leviathan
This Dreadnaught-class warship served as one of the Old Republic's primary anti-pirate warships. Its armament was refitted to serve as point-defense weaponry, and its cargo space was modified to accommodate five squadrons of starfighters. The primary mission profile for the Leviathan was to enforce the Old Republic's trade laws, including the patrol of regularly-used hyperspace routes and investigation of commerce irregularities. Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, the Galactic Senate lost its ability to define missions for the Leviathan and her crew, so Captain Trence Vosh was often simply left to patrol for pirates. (SOG)

Leviathan
This gas giant was the sixth world in the Sacor, or Sacorria, System. It was orbited by sixteen moons. (CCW)

Leviathan
This sleek passenger liner made regular runs from Coruscant to Telos, some twelve years before the Battle of Naboo. (DOR)

Leviathan
This ancient Interdictor warship was part of the Old Republic's navy, during the years leading up to the Great Sith War. It was the first ship of its kind, with the ability to counteract the effects of a starship's hyperdrive, and was commanded by Admiral Saul Karath. When Karath became one of the first officers of the Old Republic naval forces to defect and join the Sith, he took the Leviathan with him, turning the vessel over to Darth Malak. The ship was known to have been responsible for the destruction of Taris, and was instrumental in Darth Malak's search for the Star Forge. Measuring some 600 meters in length, the Leviathan was armed with twenty quad laser cannons, four gravity well projectors, a pair of ion cannons, four turbolasers, and a tractor beam projector. Additionally, the hangar bays of the ship could accommodate two full squadrons of Sith Fighters. (KOTOR, SWDB)

Leviathan
This was the term used to describe the massive, soul-eating creatures that were created by the Dark Jedi who tried to destroy the Jedi Order during the Hundred-Year Darkness. The Levianthans were a huge, crustacean-like beasts that stood on two massive legs. Each had four smaller, crab-like arms. The thick head of a Leviathan was studded with several horns, and its four blood-red eyes sat atop a mouth studded with razor-sharp teeth. Large fin-like plates ran down the creature's spine. The ancient Jedi Knights believed that they had defeated the Dark Lords and their Leviathans some 6,900 years before the Battle of Yavin, with the climactic battle taking place on Corbos. Millennia later, Kyp Durron and a group of Jedi discovered that two of these beasts had managed to survive. The beast became known as the Leviathan of Corbos, before it was eventually defeated. (EGF)

Leviathan
This form of powered, protective body armor was developed by the Mon Calamari. It was made for their unique physiology, but could be modified for use by other humanoid races. Originally developed by Ylan Ghalir, the Leviathan armor was similar in one respect to Mon Calamari starships: each suit was unique, and something of a work of art. (GUN, SWJ3)

Leviathan of Corbos
This entity was unearthed by the miners who worked to make a living on the desolate world of Corbos. They first found an ancient skeleton, after blasting away at a particularly hard outcropping of rock. This woke the sleeping Leviathan, which had somehow survived the Hundred-Year Darkness, and it attacked the mining colony with a vengeance. The entire colony was wiped out, but not before the leaders managed to send a distress signal to the New Republic. Leia Organa-Solo asked her brother, Luke Skywalker, to send a contigent of Jedi Knights to investigate.

The Levianthan was a huge, crustacean-like beast that stood on two massive legs. It had four smaller, crab-like arms. Its thick head was studded with several horns, and its four blood-red eyes sat atop a mouth studded with razor-sharp teeth. Large fin-like plates ran down the creature's spine. A first creature was defeated by Kyp Durron, who discovered that the Leviathan could trap the Force-energies of its victims in a special nodule near its head. Meanwhile, Kirana Ti, Streen, and Dorsk 82 discovered a huge nest of larval Leviathans in the mining colony's operations center.

The death of the first creature awakened an even larger one, and the four Jedi were pushed to their limits in an effort to defeat it. The two creatures, once destroyed, released all the souls of the miners they had killed. It was lated discovered that the Leviathan was part of a group of monstrous soldiers that had been created by the exiled Jedi who tried to destroy the Jedi Order during the Hundred-Year Darkness. However, unlike the Leviathans that were used by the Dark Jedi during the Hundred-Year Darkness, the Leviathan of Corbos had been mutated by the Force during its period of hibernation. (ROM, JAL, NECH, EGF)

LH-1740
This was the official designation of the Lucrehulk-class core ship. (OWS)

LH-3010
This was one of the original Hoersch-Kessel freighter designs commissioned by the Neimoidian race, and was also one of the first Lucrehulk-class vessels. Measuring some three kilometers in diameter, the LH-3010 had a circular cargo section that surrounded the command module. This design was later reused in the development of the LH-3210. (GMR7, OWS)

LH-3210
This ring-shaped cargo freighter was produced by Hoersch-Kessel Drive, Incorporated, during the last decades of the New Order. A member of the Lucrehulk-class of vessels, the LH-3210 was the culmination of centuries of work and cooperation between H-KD and the Trade Federation, and was created to certain specifications provided by the Federation. Measuring 3,170 meters in diameter, the LH-3210 was designed to be tubular in shape and open at one end, ensuring that the ship was easily recognizable as a Trade Federation vessel. This shape also allowed cargo to be loaded into the vast storage bays. These ships could carry up to five million metric tons of cargo, and were designed to carry normal cargoes as well as weapons of war. The average LH-3210 required a crew of 175 to operate, including the command staff and workers. It could accommodate up to 6,250 AAT tanks, 550 MTT transports, fifty C-9979 transports, and a complement of 1,500 droid starfighters. With specific modifications, the LH-3210 could be used as a Trade Federation Battleship or a Droid Control Ship, providing the Federation a measure of surprise against pirates or other threats. Although primarily interstellar vessels with Class 2 hyperdrives, the LH-3210 could be operating in an atmosphere for ground-side operations. It could attain speeds of 500 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. In the wake of the Battle of Naboo, the Trade Federation was ordered to eliminate large portions of its war fleet. Although many LH-3210 freighters were disassembled, they were neved scrapped. In fact, the disassembly allowed the Trade Federation to figure out a way to separate the Core Ship from the main ring. This allowed the main freighter to remain in space, while the command crew moved back and forth to planetside locations in the Core Ship. During the Clone Wars, most LH-3210 freighters were destroyed in battle, although a handful made their way into the fleet of the Corporate Sector Authority. (SWRPG, SON, NEGV, OWS, SSOG)

Educated at the Imperial Institute of Higher Studies on Ferrhast, Shandria decided to join the Alliance after the arrest of her best friend, Celida Noerr. It was Shandria who stole the plans to Project Orrad on Venaari. She escaped from the Star Destroyer Retaliator and the bounty hunter Pentix Graphyt with the help of thief Sienn Sconn. She was also in love with Sconn, but the relationship soured when Sconn refused to officially join the New Republic. After several arguments, the pair split up. Shortly afterward, Shandria was assigned to lead an assault team to try and recover the Super-class Star Destroyer Guardian, but her team was captured in the attempt. Shandria was rescued by Sienn and his uncle, Cryle Cavv, when the pair managed to obtain control of the huge ship. They decided to give their relationship another try. (SWJ5, SWJ9, SWJ15)

Jabba then fed Lhojugg to his pet kayven whistlers as punishment. (SWJ11)

Lhosan Industries
This large corporation maintained its headquarters on the planet Taris, during the era of the Great Sith War. It was believed that Lhosan remained on Taris because of a series of tax incentives and other financial benefits that were provided to the corporation by the planetary government. Others believed that the corporation made more money handling its underworld operations in both the Upper City and the Lower City, as well as its criminal enterprises in Highport. Lhosan was known throughout the galaxy for its swoops and speederbikes, and many racers referred to the manufacturing plant near Taris' Machineville as "the birthplace of the swoop-bike."

However, after Zayne Carrick was falsely accused of murdering his fellow Padawans, Lhosan deemed Taris to be too dangerous a place to do business, and decided to move its enterprises elsewhere. The decision left thousands of beings without employment, and plunged the Lower City into chaos. Senator Goravvus of Taris threatened to expose Lhosan Industries' primary leader, Jervo Thalien, who had gotten Goravvus appointed as Taris' representative to the Galactic Senate in exchange for trade concessions and other benefits. The Mandalorian invasion of Taris temporarily occupied Goravvus, but the Mandalorian Wars caused a number of disasters for Lhosan Industries. In order to prevent further trouble, Jervo Thalien put out a bounty for the capture of Senator Goravvus, to keep him from exposing the truth. (KOR1, KOR4, KOR7)

Li, Tungo
This strange being was placed in charge of the Alliance's meager spy network, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. A diminutive humanoid, Tungo Li was easliy recognized by his droopy, tufted ears and his shaggy eyebrows. A group of neural access studs were imbedded across his forehead and temples. When tapped into the spy network, Tungo Li donned a specialized piece of headgear that was studded with dozens of neural implants and covered his head and neck. This apparatus connected to the neural access studs on his head, and then to a set of trunk lines that were mounted to a backplate, and kept him constantly connected to the information that flowed into the Alliance's computer networks.

It was Tungo Li who relayed information to Luke Skywalker that Janek Sunber was trying to contact him, about a year after the Battle of Yavin. The information came from one of Tungo Li's spies, Wyl Tarson, but Tungo Li was convinced with was a thinly-disguised trap. Luke and Deena Shan set out on their own to meet Sunber, despite explicit orders from Leia Organa to remain with the fleet. When they returned with Sunber in tow, Tungo Li began a series of interrogations to try and determine the truth behind Sunber's desire to join the Alliance.

In the midst of the chaos that was caused when Jorin Sol provided the Alliance's hyperspace algorithms to the Empire, the flagship Rebel One stumbled upon the location of Bannistar Station. Tungo Li was the first to suggest a suicide mission to destroy the station. His plan called for a small strike team infiltrate the station and set several explosive charges, while the rest of the crew of the Rebel One left the ship in whatever transport was available. Tungo Li himself would remain on the Rebel One so that Imperial scanners would continue to detect life-forms on board, but would trigger the ship's self-destruct system to destroy any nearby Imperial vessel and create a diversion that would allow the others to escape. (SWRMB, SWRSV)

Liak and his other companions killed their captors, took possession of an Imperial starship, and fled the planet. Many of his companions returned to Kashyyyk to help lead the underground, but Liak joined the Alliance. He became a commando, and was part of the special forces team headed by Lieutenant Haslam which liberated Gebnerret Vibrion from Selnesh. (SWJ10, TFE)

Liakkor

Lialic II
This CR-90 corvette was part of the fleet which the Empire maintained in Kathol Sector. Commanded by Captain Rolf Treidum, the Lialic II helped Moff Sarne control the sector after the Battle of Endor. When Sarne returned to the Kathol Outback, he ordered Treidum to take the Lialic II and delay the progress of the New Republic ship FarStar, so that Sarne's plans could reach fruition. Treidum renamed the corvette the Lance of Endor and began raiding Outback colonies in the guise of a New Republic warship, hoping to sway the local populace against the Republic. The ship was equipped with outdated weaponry and shields, and was taken out of drydock to combat the New Republic before it could be refitted. Treidum had great success in raiding the worlds of the Outback under the guise of the Lance of Endor until he was exposed by the crew of the FarStar at Danoor. There, after Makezh managed to get a message to the Aing-Tii monks, the corvette was rammed by a Sandhedrim warship and destroyed. Also destroyed was an Imperial-class Star Destroyer it was escorting. (KO)

Lian, Deign
This Yuuzhan Vong warrior was from a prestigious family of warriors, and served as Shedao Shai's second-in-command during the subjugation of Dubrillion and Destrillion. However, Deign Lian himself had shown none of his family's ruthlessness in battle when he was assigned to the Legacy of Torment. Deign constantly questioned Shedao's commands, unable to fully understand the military and psychological aspects of the invasion plans. This did not stop him from plotting with the Yuuzhan Vong Warmaster in their home galaxy, reporting on Shedao Shai's every move and highlighting his every mistake. Meanwhile, he obeyed Shedao Shai, although occasional lapses brought anger and physical retaliation from Shai. After Shedao Shai died in a duel with Corran Horn on Ithor, Deign Lian assumed command of the Yuuzhan Vong forces and unleashed a bioweapon on Ithor, reducing virtually all forms of life to bacteria-ridden husks. He then made to return to Dubrillion, where he awaited orders from Tsavong Lah. However, Traest Kre'fey ordered the Corusca Rainbow to activate her gravity well projectors, keeping the Yuuzhan Vong ships near Ithor and reducing their ability to defend themselves with dovin basals. In the end, the ships of the New Republic decimated the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. Deign Lian was killed when the Legacy of Torment exploded under heavy fire. (DTR)

Liana Liberators
This wanted band of terrorists was believed to have been funded by the Trade Federation and the Techno Union, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Members of the Liana Liberators were known for their computer skills, which allowed them to hack into any computer network to steal information and introduce all manner of malicious software into these systems.

The Liana Liberators were five friends who met in school at the University of Liana. The three men and two women who formed the group were originally working to expose the failings of the Galactic Senate, and used their computer skills to gather information on various Senators that was soon released to the general public. Over time, however, their efforts were turned toward industrial espionage, and when the conflict between the Separatists and the Old Republic turned into the Clone Wars, they began undermining the efforts of the Grand Army of the Republic.

The Liana Liberators were discovered to be operating in the Cularin System, where they posed as a group of xenobiologists who had rented the luxury liner Perihelion, ostensibly to study the wildlife of Cularin. In reality, they were using the ship as a temporary base, until they could get a more permanent base set up on the CMC-3 asteroid mining facility. From this asteroid base, they hoped to discredit the Cularin government and the Jedi Knights of the Almas Academy.

Before their plans could be completed, however, they were discovered by the crew of the Starchaser IV, who realized that the Perihelion was not where it was supposed to be. A tense chase through the Cularin Asteroid Belt ensued, until the Perihelion was disabled. The Liana Liberators were apprehended and taken into custody, and were later turned over to the Thaereian Military for imprisonment. It was later reported that the prison ship in which they were being transported suffered a hyperdrive failure, and all aboard were killed. (REPL)

Liane

Liann
This was the term used to describe the human population of the planet Lianna. In defiance of the industrial urbanization of Lianna, the Lianns built wonderful buildings that were vibrantly colored and ornately landscaped. Most homes had a great room with a sunken floorpit that served as the focal point of the room.

The cuisines of the Liann were often regarded as heavily and unsubtly spiced, and many consumables were generally combined with preservatives to prolong their shelf-life. The Lianns were generally regarded as having raised the science of preservatives and additives to an art, although many Lianns refused to accept this as a compliment. (ML, OWS)

Lianna
An industrial world located in the Allied Tion sector of the galaxy, Lianna was the rule of outside forces for much of its history. It was originally conquered by the Tion warlords, then was controlled by the Kingdom of Barseg as the Old Republic brought peace to the galaxy. The Galactic Senate basically ignored Lianna, though, and the planet continued to be ruled as a traditional territory.

Some three centuries before the Battle of Yavin, the Old Republic Senate decided that the planet, under the rule of Barseg, was not being allowed to flourish. The Senate took control of the system, but the planet continued to be misused as an industrial center. Two hundred years later, Seinar Technologies established its presence there, but the company was taken over by Kerred Santhe in a hostile maneuver that created Santhe/Sienar Technologies. Santhe moved the company's headquarters to Lianna, further adding to the planet's industrialization.

Under the control of Kerred's granddaughter, Valles Santhe, Lianna remained independent, although it was a strong supporter of Emperor Palpatine and the New Order. The Lady Santhe quickly instituted home rule following the Battle of Endor. The New Republic respected the decision, but surviving Imperial forces launched a series of reprisal attacks on the planet. The Lady Santhe threatened stop building TIE Fighters if the attacks didn't stop. The threat, plus some well-placed bribes, allowed Lianna to remain neutral by special charter of the Empire.

Located near the Thanium Worlds, Lianna was orbited by a single moon. It day lasted twenty-two standard hours, and its year which encompassed 370 local days. (DESB, ML, OWS)

The interior of the Liberator was large enough to transport three full regiments of troops and six starfighter squadrons, making the Liberator one of the most advanced warships produced during the height of the New Order. (REB)

Liberator Mk4
This was the designation of the enhanced version of the Mark IV Liberator starship booster system, produced by SoroSuub during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Liberator-class Troopship
This ancient starship was used during the last years of the Old Republic. (TPS)

Liberators
This was the original name of the resistance forces that rose up on the planet Mantoonie, in the Atrivis Sector, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. The Liberators eventually became one of the founding members of the Atrivis Resistance Group. (RASB)

Liberty
This Venator-class Star Destroyer served as Aayla Secura's flagship, during the height of the Clone Wars. During the defense of the planet Quell, the Liberty was the last ship in General Secura's fleet to confront a Separatist attack fleet. The ship took heavy fire from droid starfighters and swarms of rocket droids that boarded the vessel and attacked the crew. The timely arrival of Anakin Skywalker and the Resolute gave much of the crew a chance to escape from the ship, although some crew members and several of Skywalker's clone troopers were unable to evacuate before the Liberty was abandoned.. (CWTV13)

Liberty
This Mon Calamari MC80a cruiser was originally assigned to protect the Tantive IV. After the Battle of Yavin, it served as a military transport vessel for the technical units supporting the forces which took part in the Battle of Endor. The sister ship to the Justice, the Liberty was built to be fast and well-armed, while the Justice was built to be a well-protected troop carrier. Unfortunately, the Liberty was the first Alliance ship destroyed by the second Death Star during the initial stages of the battle. (XW, E6, CCG11, LSSM)

Liberty
This New Republic Majestic-class battle cruiser was part of the 106-ship Fifth Battle Group. Named for the Alliance cruiser that was the first ship destroyed during the Battle of Endor, the Liberty was one of the ships that participated in the unsuccessful blockade of Doornik-319. A husband and wife participated in the battle as pilots, and were killed in the fight. (SOL, TT, SWI105)

Liberty
This was the name of one of the Yevethan warships sent to purge the planet Polneye, during the Black Fleet Crisis. (BTS)

Liberty Star
This New Republic assault frigate participated in the Battle of Bilbringi against Grand Admiral Thrawn's forces. (IR)

Liberty-type Star Cruiser
This was the common, though unofficial, designation of those Mon Calamari MC80 Star Cruisers that were similar in appearance to the warship Liberty. Distinguished by the heavy "wings" that made up the aft section of the vessel, these ships were generally lighter-armed and not as durable as their counterparts, the Home One-type Star Cruiser. Because no two Mon Calamari star cruisers were exactly the same, it was unclear if this term referred to the entire MC80 line of vessels. (SSOG)

Lib'eyay, Crost
This former Bothan spy served as an administrator aboard StarForge Station during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SOG)

Libkath, Gilramos
Known to his "children" as The Master, Libkath was a slimy criminal who worked the underworld of Mos Espa during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Rather than get his own hands dirty, Libkath kidnapped or stole young children to do his bidding. He implanted a tiny, eyeball-shaped tracer orb in their palms, for use in monitoring their activities. Libkath also claimed that, should the children try to leave the planet, the eyes would release a toxin into the bloodstream which would kill a child almost instantly. Libkath was easily distinguished from other Neimoidians by his sickly-white skin and dull orange eyes. His origins were unknown, but Ygabba believed that he had been exiled from Neimoidia. In fact, Libkath was this Neimoidian as Nute Gunray's assistant during the years which led up to the Clone Wars. Libkath was as pompous and conniving a Neimoidian as there ever was. Libkath made his living smuggling weapons and other valuable commodities, often hijacking shipments from Jabba the Hutt. This earned Libkath a substantial bounty on his head, for Jabba began to lose large sums of credits because of lost or missing shipments. Eventually, Jabba hired both Durge and the ten-year-old Boba Fett to capture or eliminate Libkath. Both bounty hunters cornered Libkath in the burned-out hull of a Theed cruiser near Mos Espa, with Durge disabling Libkath with a blaster bolt. Young Boba stole his miter-like hat and fled the ship with the children, while Durge set out to destroy Libkath. In his wild firing, Durge blasted a crate of weapons, setting off a huge explosion. It was believed that both Durge and Libkath died in the fiery blaze. Boba Fett returned to Jabba with the hat, using it as proof of his elimination of Libkath. (VD2, BF4)

Librarian's Assembly
This group of Jedi scholars maintained the various holocrons, scrolls, and Sith writings collected during the time of the Old Republic. It was led by Yaddle during the last years of the Old Republic, prior to the Jedi purge. (SWDB, CHRN2)

Library Galactica
This was one of the largest libraries in the galaxy, during the final decades of the Old Republic. (DSTR)

Library of Chandrila
This immense library was founded on the planet Chandrila, many centuries before the onset of the Great Sith War. Years after Exar Kun and the Sith were defeated, a group of Jedi working for Lady Krynda Draay discovered a Sith text within the library's vaults, and a shadow agent was able to destroy it before it could stolen by agents of the Sith. (KOR10)

Library of Systems
This New Republic database catalogued and documented all known planets and their surrounding star systems. The primary focus was on those worlds which were affiliated with the New Republic. (GG8)

Library of the Republic
This was the galaxy-wide library and archive maintained by the Galactic Senate of the Old Republic. Although the primary mission of the library the acquisition and retention of literature and information, the Special Acquisitions Branch of the library also worked as an intelligence-gathering agency. (ISB, HNN5)

Library of Xer

This was the term used by the ancient Sith Lords to describe any religious temple that was established to preserve and maintain the various collections of Sith lore. (OWS)

Libro
An Imperial transport group assigned to the TIE Advanced plants in the Omar System. (TIE)

Licha In
This Gree world was one of the first to suffer from the degeneration of Gree society, several millennia before the Battle of Yavin. In the most ancient days of Gree civilization, Licha In was a nexus for hypergate transportation and the terminus for most of the farthest-reaching hypergates. The native Gree of the planet, as they became more reliant on technology, separated into small city-states that competed for supremacy based on their ability to control their technology. Rulers of the city-states fought wars for food, slaves, and devices, and have isolated themselves from the rest of Gree society. Most modern Gree consider their Lichan relatives to be backward and ignorant, and the primary examples of what happened when the Gree lost the ability to create new technology. A temperate world of large islands, Licha In rotates on its axis once every 24 standard hours. Its year lasted 364 local days. (SWJ8)

Lichen Torch
This was a form of torch, created by the Yuuzhan Vong by growing bioluminescent lichen atop a nutrient-filled staff. (FH3)

Lickmoomoo
This Huttese word translated into Basic as "dessert." (GMR5)

Lictor-class Dungeon Ship
Based on a Mandalorian design, Rendili StarDrive's Lictor-class dungeon ship was a 764-meter-long prisoner transport vessel. Sections were designed with variable environments to create conditions which were as uncomfortable as possible. Other will-breaking devices present were sirens, electric shockers, and various gas emission systems. When the Empire began using these ships to transport captured Jedi Knights, they installed energy shields based on the Universal Energy Cage around each partition. Life support systems were also run at minimal levels. Each Lictor-class ship was given enough of a navigational computer to hold two jump coordinates: the prisoner transfer planet and the final destination. This provided a defense against prisoners hijacking the ship. Each Lictor-class ship was equipped with 10 quad turbolaser batteries a 2 tractor beam projectors. They were manned by a crew of 860, 46 gunners, and 800 security wardens. They could transport up to 9,000 prisoners; 1,000 of them could be housed in special holding cells. (DE1, DESB)

Liddell, Mix
This male Mon Calamari served as the Chief of Security for the Outer Rim Oreworks installation on Lamaredd during the years surrounding the Battle of Naboo. Liddell was a formed harpoon operator aboard the trawler Swilla, but gave up his membership in the Sailors' Union to take on the role of Chief. He held the position for more than 40 years, and even the MD-series droid known as Doc believed that Liddell was the best Chief that Lamaredd ever had. His appointment as Chief came after his efforts in capturing the Dark Jedi Byrch Dyshkava, who had killed Chief Ertine and the rest of the deputies who were sent out to capture him. When Dyshkava escaped from prison, Liddell vowed to track Dyshkava down and bring him to justice once again. While not on the job, Liddell was enamored of Miss Mylla, the Falleen saloon owner, and was often seen in her saloon during his off-hours. When he learned that Dyshkava was still alive, Liddell hired a group of freelancers to served as his deputies, and put them to work investigating the claims of Dyshkava about the plans of the Menahuun. The destruction of the Tria Blue revealed a connection between the Menahuun and the Outer Rim Oreworks: the Bartyn family. The agents hired by Liddell were able to negotiate a cease-fire with Eeytch, and discovered that the Menahuun had nearly been exterminated by Hugo Bartyn more than 500 years earlier. With the revelation of this knowledge, Guther Bartyn was forced to relinquish control of the mines as well as Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies, and Mix found himself at the center of of attention. He agreed to support the rights of any Menahuun who wanted to join the society of Bartyn's Landing, although he was at first met with some civil unrest. The townspeople of Bartyn's Landing then called for open, democratic elections to replace Guther Bartyn as Administrator, and many believed that Mix would win the election. During a rally, however, Liddell was shot in the chest by a being who claimed to the new new Padawan on Lamaredd, and he was forced to bow out of the race. (GMR7)

Lidium
This ore was once mined on Bothan's Planet. (RPG)

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

Lido Deck
The entertainment deck on the Kuari Princess, the Lido Deck boasted a competition-sized sodium hydroxide/mercury swimming tank. (RPG, RM)

Liebke, Adazian
This Weequay was a Major in the Alliance's Special Forces unit on New Kisge. A native of Sriluur, Liebke was part of a family with a rich military history, and he himself served in Dnalvec's militia and fought in the Houk-Weequay Conflicts. Adazian was known for his ability to handle the nocturnal dark wolf, and maintained a pack of twenty during his tenure with the Alliance. A graduate of the Galactic Outdoor Survival School, Adazian was also a member of Eclipse Team's Twilight Squadron, and was an accomplished wilderness fighter. (AIR, SWJ6, OWS)

Liege
This Ukian served as the planetary leader of his homeworld, during the height of the Clone Wars. When a squad of clone troopers from the Grand Army of the Republic landed on Ukio to inspect the planet's defenses and security measures, Liege was surprised to find that the clone were commanded by a mere Padawan, Tyzen Xebec. Liege was even more surprised when Tyzen asked to meet with the local workers, in order to get to know them better. His surprise turned to anger when a Separatist battleship arrived in orbit around Ukio and put Project Instinction into action. Modified seismic tanks began to disperse photoreactive soil from the Moorja Badlands into the atmosphere. This soil settled onto Ukio's planetary shield, and because of its photoreactive properties, it moved with the orbital motion of the planet to remain close to natural sunlight, creating an artificial eclipse that darkened the planet and threatened to kill the crops that covered its surface. The Republic's forces could not contain the soil, and Leige was forced to consider dropping the planetary shield in order to save the planet's ecosystems. The daring plan worked, and although Republic forces were able to repel most Separatist ships that tried to enter the hole in the shield, a couple shuttles managed to evade them and land. These shuttles then deployed specialized equipment that used subsonic transmissions to influence the native wildlife into trampling the crops that the Ukians had planted. Faced with destruction after the success of the shield maneuver, Liege became increasingly angry and frustrated, both with the Republic's apparent uselessness and the possibility of losing his planet's agricultural resources. (CWOC2)

Lien Seal
This interdiction field was used in starports. A bubble-shaped force field, it was used to impound starships when their owners fail to pay their bills. (SOL)

Lifath
The Yevethan term for 'proctor of information.' (BTS)

Life Bearer
This was another name for a Life Witch. (AC)

Life Day
A Wookiee holiday, Life Day celebrated Kashyyyk's diverse ecosystem and the many forms of life it encompassed. It also was a time to remember family members who had died, and the young ones who continued to bring new life to a family. Life Day was an almost sacred holiday, and many Wookiees returned to Kashyyyk in order to celebrate it. Many Wookiees made a pilgrimage to Kachirho, which was where the massive Tree of Life grew.

Life Day was held once every three local years for many generations, but during the Galactic Civil War, its importance to the Wookiees became more pronounced. Wookiees were spread across the galaxy, either because they had been enslaved by the Empire or for personal reasons, and they began celebrating Life Day each year as a way to remain in touch with their history. A group of Wookiees even managed to have a wroshyr tree shipped to Naboo, where it was planted in Theed so that Wookiees on the planet could also observe the celebration. Over time, the holiday found its way into various other cultures. (RD, PH, LAT2, SWGAL)

Life Day Lamp
This small, globe-shaped lamp was created by the Wookiees of the planet Kashyyyk. Individual Wookiees carried the lamp throughout the Life Day celebration, to honor those family members who had died, and to give symbolic guidance to the young members of their family. The shape of the lamp was inspired by the Life Day Orb. Like the orb, the Life Day Lamp was produced in large quantities for each celebration. According to Wookiee tradition, each Wookiee received one or more Life Day gifts, but had to give at least one gift to another Wookiee, often in exchange for another Life Day gift. (SWGAL)

Life Day Necklace
This simple, handcrafted necklace was one the traditional gifts exchanged by the Wookiees of Kashyyyk during the Life Day celebration. According to Wookiee tradition, each Wookiee had to exchange at least one gift with another Wookiee. (SWGAL)

Life Monitor
A small device worn on the wrist which monitors the wearer's vital signs and physical status. They can also be set up to monitor the life status of a group of individuals, with unique indicators tracking each member. (EA, BFE)

Life Monitor, The
This newsgrid service was run and managed by Cindel Towani, during the early years of the New Republic. Hiram Drayson called in a favor from Cindel, hoping to run a story that would bolster Leia Organa-Solo's appearance during the Black Fleet Crisis. (TT)

Life Preservation Programming
This was the name given to the subroutines which every droid was required to have in their operational computer memory. Known as LPP, this programming was mandatory under the laws of the New Order, and prevented a droid from "experiencing the compulsion to do harm to an organic being." This programming could be overridden, but this act was considered a Class Two or higher crime by the Imperial Penal References. (FTD)

Life Sapper
This unusual subspecies of borgle was native to the Forest Moon of Endor, where it was known to literally suck the life out of its prey by draining it of blood and other organic energies. (SWG2P)

Life Stealer
This was the name of a species of predatory reptiles that was native to the planet Dathomir. (SWG2P)

Life To Come, The
This was the term used in the Cosmic Balance religion to describe the afterlife, in which all inequities suffered in life would be redressed. Thus, a follower who lived in wealth - the so-called Child of the Feather - would spend the afterlife in poverty. These members were given a stylized feather by their parents. A follower who was sent to a Simple Home to live in poverty - known as a Child of the Bowl - was assured to find their good fortune in the afterlife. These individuals were given a stylized bowl by their parents. (TBSB, GORW)

Life Tree
see Soul Tree (NEGA)

Life Tree
According to Wookiee legend, the Life Tree was the place from which all Wookiee culture began. All life on Kashyyk burst forth from the Life Tree, including the Wookiees themselves, creating the dense jungle ecosystem of the planet. During the Life Day celebration, Wookiees consumed orga roots to help their spirits locate the Life Tree. (LAT2)

Life Tree
The tree which was grown to harvest life crystals, life trees resemble hexagonal posts. The thick boles appear to be fibrous, glassy, pigmented trunks growing from 2-12 meters tall, depending on the growing conditions. They grow atop a wide disk; the underside of the disk was covered with the thin, kilometer-long root systems which grow straight down into the soil and keep the tree upright. The branches of the tree were made from the same crystal-like material as the trunk, and grow straight out from the trunk. The very end of each branch angles sharply upward, and ends with a single life-crystal. The lower branches were older, and the crystals they produce were larger than those of the younger, upper branches. They life crystals have to be removed by a laser, and grow back in about a year. (LCM)

Life Trinkets
This was the term used to describe the various totems and personal belongings which were held in mystical reverence by the Kurtzen people of Bakura. (RESB)

Life Witch
This unusual strain of human females was native to the planet Leria Kerlsil, and were never encountered on other worlds. These life witches announced their heritage by using the title 'Ver' in addition to their surname, as in Karia Ver Seryan. They preferred to call themselves life bearers, since their powers allowed them to extend a male's life by five years, but only if the male agreed to marry the life witch and perform the blood kiss. If the male agreed to the blood kiss, the life witch was then indebted to Support the male for five years, giving him the vitality and strength of a young man. After five years, though, the life witch had to withdraw the Support or die. Any life witch who withdrew the Support was forced to the recover her strength before she could marry again. The husband was doomed to die either way, for he could no longer survive without the life witch's Support. All life witches were sterile, incapable of bringing a child into the world. Thus, they were very rare even on Leria Kerlsil, spontaneously occurring every so often. (AC)

Life Zone
This was the name of the 30-kilometer-deep layer of Bespin's atmosphere which was capable of supporting life. It was found 150 kilometers inside the outer edge of Bespin's atmosphere, and had a stable temperature and chemical makeup. Cloud City was situated within the Life Zone. (GG2)

Life, The
This was the name of the center section of the Vergesso Base asteroid, and contained all the living areas on the asteroid. The Life also contained stores, restaurants and bars, and other entertainment outlets. (SPG)

Life-Bubble
This was a type of inexpensive life pod that was often used aboard smaller starships. It was essentially an inflatable sphere made of a tough, vacuum-resistant material that was supported by a thin frame. These escape pods lacked any true propulsion, and were often used as a last resort, as a ship plunged into a planet's atmosphere. This would allow the life-bubble to drift down onto the planet's surface, rather than moving uselessly through space. (LCM)

Life-crystal
Long considered the chief export of the Rafa System, the life-crystal was a gem that had strange and wonderful properties. It had the ability to alter a human's normal life expectancy, sometimes multiplying it fourfold. A life-crystal could also affect the holders dreams, and were known to cure certain mental conditions. Life-crystals were grown in life-orchards that were found on the eleven planets of the Rafa System, and a few of the system's asteroids. However, only those locations that mimicked the environments of Rafa IV produced large life-crystals. Each crystal had to be harvested with a laser cutter, and a new crystal would grow in its place in about a year. Any given tree in a life-orchard would yield about a thousand crystals The true purpose of the life-crystals was revealed when Lando Calrissian, Vuffi Raa, and Mohs discovered the Mindharp on Rafa V. When they learned of the incredible ruse maintained by the Sharu race, they learned that the life-crystals were really a device used by the Sharu to collect the intelligence and knowledge from all subsequent generations of Sharu, keeping this intelligence effectively hidden from an unknown threat the Sharu perceived many eons ago. The life-crystals drained the energy from the Sharu as well, creating the image of a simple, old Toka and maintaining the Sharu deception. The reason life-crystals worked differently for the Toka than for beings who lived outside of the Rafa System was that the offworld life-crystals were too far from the Sharu computer banks, where the knowledge and intelligence was stored. Without the close linkage to the Rafa System, a life-crystal simply absorbed the intelligence and life energy from those near the life-crystal's holder, channeling it into the holder. (LCM)

Lifeday Song
This was the term used to describe any of the traditional songs that were sung by the Wookiee race during the annual Life Day celebration. (SWDT)

Lifedetec
This lifeform scanner was developed and manufactured by Cryoncorp during the early years of the New Republic. (GUN)

Lifehold, Dannen
This smuggler operated from a base on Dohu VII. Originally born on a Mid-Rim world, he stowed away on a smuggling freighter bound for Alderaan when he was fourteen. He was discovered by the ship's owner, Captain Twolz, who agreed to keep Dannen on as long as he worked for his passage. Twolz treated Dannen like a son, and over a period of five years he taught the boy everything he knew. Dannen became a marksman and gunner, eventually surpassing even Twolz's skills. After Twolz was killed on Niian, Dannen and Krell teamed up for a short time, during which Dannen indebted himself to Linkaas in order to purchase his own ship, the Lifeline. Dannen worked for eight years to pay off the ship, working with his mechanic, Feq. After Feq's death at the hands of an over-zealous Imperial inspection officer, Dannen began to hate the Empire. It was Lifehold who rescued Brion Peck's assault team from Rafft, after a homing beacon placed on their ship gave them away. (SWJ1, SWJ3)

Life-Jet
Developed to maintain safety on Bespin's Cloud City, life-jets were small jetpacks that could be found at various locations along the outer edge of the city. If a being accidentally fell off a railing, a rescuer could grab a life-jet and use it to fly down toward the clouds in an attempt to rescue the victim. (MC57)

Lifeline
This was the name of Dannen Lifehold's personal ship, a modified YT-1300 freighter armed with a single, turret-mounted laser cannon. (SWJ1)

LifeLine
This small corporation produced a variety of protective gear and clothing for use by starship captains, including the TechMaster II vacuum suit. (PSG)

Lifeline Astrogation Buffer
Developed by Cybot Galactica, the Lifeline was a data storage mechanism that allowed a starship pilot to offload a portion of their astromech droids's computer memory, thereby by backing up any data stored by the droid. It provided starship pilots with a way of reaching their destination, even if their astromech should fail. In the event of an astromech failure, the Lifeline could be connected to a ship's navigational computer in order to input the desired destination. (FTD)

Lifeline Project
Developed by Brophar Tofarain and Lofryyhn, this plan used the six Imperial-issue probe droids aboard the corvette FarStar as communications relays. They could be set in position at intervals within the Kathol Rift, providing a chain of relays to allow the FarStar to remain in contact with the outside galaxy. Unfortunately, the intense energy generated by the Rift created a great deal of interference, so it was decided to focus the probe droids on being able to send messages from the FarStar to the outside galaxy. This left the FarStar without a way to receive communications. Brandis Turgah used the Lifeline to communicate with Velst Nay'sro, and the Bothans under Nay'sro's command discovered messages from Loh'kahr to Khzam. (KR, E)

Lifeline Technologies
This corporation produced a variety of spacesuits for use during extravehicular missions. (FOP)

Lifemilk
This highly nutritious food was produced by the Zeetsa as a natural part of their lives. It served as a staple in the diet of the X'Ting, forming a symbiotic relationship between the two races. The X'Ting began to feed the Zeetsa, which allowed the Zeetsa to concentrate on the production of Lifemilk. This dependency led some Zeetsa individuals to leave their homes and establish an independent life, althugh many chose to remain with the X'Ting. (HIV)

Lifemoon
This was the name of one of Fyodos' three satellites. Like the others, its original name was lost in the Great Cleansing. Fyodoi lore indicates that the cycle of the Lifemoon was the best time for celebrations, marriages, and coming-of-age rituals. (PG2)

Life-orchard
This was the name given to any of the specialized growing environments required for producing life-crystals. In order to be viable, a life-orchard must perfectly mimic the Rafa System's ecology, specifically the environment on Rafa IV, or the life-crystals won't grow. Smaller life-orchards existed on all of the planet in the Rafa System, but could only produce small life-crystals. The maintenance and harvesting of life-orchards was a tricky business, and was unsuitable for using droids because it required a deft touch and gentle handling of the crystals after they were picked. Thus, manual labor was employed, which ostensibly accounted for their high cost on other worlds. In reality, the controllers of the Rafa System used the prisoners of the system's penal colony as their labor, thereby getting the crystals harvested almost for free. Each orchard contained some 500 trees, each identical in size. The life-crystal trees were unusual in that their bark and wood seemed to have been made from a glassy fiber that contained a small amount of pigment. The roots of these trees were not fibrous like most trees, but were fine filaments that covered the underside of a wide disk that seemed to support the tree. This disk was formed from the same glassy fibers of the trunk, and spread about two meters across at the base of the trunk. This made the trees appear to be sitting on the ground, but the roots on the underside of the disk provided sustenance for the tree and kept it anchored to the ground. (LCM)

Life-pebble
This was the term used by Luke Skywalker to describe the individual sparks of life-energy he detected inside the meltmassif stone that lined Lord Shadowspawn's fortress on the planet Mindor. The meltmassif stone was a form of living crystal, with an energy-based being living inside each crystalline molecule. Luke described these beings as life-pebbles, since they appeared not to be distinct beings, but a smooth sphere of energy that seemed to have no knowledge of its true identity. (LSSM)

Life-power
This was the name given by the Wookiee race to the spirit inside each Wookiee. (RD)

Life's Memories
This treatise on the nature of death throughout the galaxy, was written by San Herrera and Nia Reston, and edited by Soshu Londahl. It was eventually published in Basic as part of the anthology Lyrical Metaphysics: Ode on an Odon, published by Coruscani Publishing during the last decades of the Old Republic. Parts of the work were based on the teachings of Mother Dariana of the Tarasin, whom the two Jedi visited on a mission to assist the Tarasin society. (WOTC)

Lifesaver 1000
This Seinar Fleet Systems hyperdrive unit was designed specifically for use as a backup system. It was rated at one-fifth the power of a normal hyperdrive, and required extensive overhauling after each use. Many pilots steered clear of using this unit, as it more often than not broke down and left its owners stranded in deep space. (GG6, TFNR)

Life-town
see Vnal (LCSB)

Lifewell
This was the name of the construct used by the ancient Kathol to store their life energies, during the struggle bewteen the ancient Jedi Knights and the Dark Jedi who had enslaved the Kathol. The Kathol chose to store their energy in the Lifewell in order to survive the growing conflict, setting a bio-engineered construct (which later became known as DarkStryder) to guard the Lifewell. The Lifewell itself was essentially a huge, glowing, crystalline organ that pulsed with the life-energies of the ancient Kathol. The crystal's tip emerged in a secret chamber within DarkStryder's fortress, but extended for several kilometers straight down into the planet's mantle. The chamber which housed it was formed from huge bones, and was filled with organic, tactile control systems. Unfortunately for the majority of the Kathol, only a handful managed to enter the Lifewell before the destruction of their launch gates. The construct, which became known as DarkStryder, was designed to protect the Lifewell until the danger had passed. However, its own self-awareness kept it from releasing the Kathol. Over time, the Kathol were unable to break free of the Lifewell. Their life energies, however, evolved into the Ta-Ree. During the Battle of Kathol, the Lifewell was opened by Halbret, who had been awakened by the crew of the FarStar. (E)

This was the generic term used to describe any self-powered exoskeleton used by laborers to move heavy crates and cargoes between starships and hangars. (SSR)

Lift Tube
This was the generic term used to describe any cylindrical tube that was used to transport cargo or passengers into or out of a ship, transport, or building. These devices often employed repulsorlifts or vacuums to lift and drop their cargo. The Jawas on Tatooine used a modified lift tube to "suck" the scrap they collect into the bellies of their sandcrawlers. (SW)

Liftcar
An elevator-like device used to get cargo up and down in a wroshyr tree. It was operating with kshyy vines. The newer ones have emergency repulsorlifts built in. (HTTE)

Lifter
This as a generic term used to describe any hovercraft or repulsorlift-equipped vehicle that could be used to move heavy cargo from the ground to a higher storage location. (SWDT)

Lifter Droid
This was another name for a loader droid, referring to its ability to lift heavy cargoes into the hold of a starship. (FJ1)

Liftlock
This was a starship mechanic's tool. (HSE)

Lift-mine
These repulsorlift-equipped antiship mines float above the ground. They can float at a specific altitude, or can be programmed to travel within a range. They were not capable of horizontal movement. The Empire used this form of detonation device to blockade important mountain valley locations. (CFG)

Lift-tube Music
This was a term used to describe any bland, recorded music - often toned-down, synthesized versions of popular songs - that was played in public spaces, such as lift-tubes. (SWI83)

Liftwing Carrier
This was an older model of Imperial transport ship. (CPL)

Lift-wing Racing
A sport which used a small sail, stretched across a rigid frame, to allow a racer to glide through the air. The frame provided minimal lift and maneuverability, but allowed the racer to guide the frame toward the finish line. (RP)

Lig
This was the traditional hunting and combat sword of the Kaleesh people. Artisans and metalsmiths worked for days to produce a single blade, which had a sharp tip and a fine-honed blade that spread out into a noticeable "belly" near the hilt. This gave the weapon a unique balance and weight when wielded by a soldier, and allowed a Kaleesh hunter to take down a thick-boned mumuu. Kaleesh who hunted mumuu carried two lig blades, one to stab each of the large beast's hearts. In modern times, the smithing that went into the formation of a lig blade benefitted from the importing of rare metals from other planets, resulting a blade that was stronger and lighter than its ancient predecessor. During the Huk Wars, these blades were produced by the dozens using modern metalworking techniques, but the Kaleesh smiths who created them maintained their high levels of craftsmanship in all their blades. (OWS)

Ligabow's
This small store was located in the Southern Underground of Coruscant's Galactic City, near the Soft Heart Cantina, during the early years of the New Order. (DSTR)

Ligatic Acid
This was a dangerous acid, used during the early years of the New Republic. If exposed to a spark or open flame, ligatic acid exploded with incredible power. (SWJ7)

Light
This was the term used by starfighter pilots of the New Republic to indicate a Yuuzhan Vong light attack cruiser. (DTR)

Light and Darkness War
This was one of the many terms used to describe the New Sith Wars, which occurred more than a millennia before the Clone Wars and ended with the Battle of Ruusan. (SWMW)

Light Attack Fighter
Known as the LAF-250, this was a small, Selonian starfighter with minimal shielding and small laser cannons. (AS, CTD)

Light Bending BARC Speeder
This was a specially-modified version of the standard BARC speeder that was used by the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the era of the Clone Wars. This version was coated with a special material that caused light to bend around it, allowing the speeder to blend into its surroundings. (SWGAL)

Light Brigade Division
This was one of the many V-19 Torrent starfighter units of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the era of the Clone Wars. (CWA9)

Light Cage
This was the term used by Jax Pavan to describe the collection of light sculptures that were used to prevent any For4ce-sensitive being from discovering the presence of Kajin Savaros. Pavan and his friends used modified light sculptures from the collection of Ves Volette to line the perimeter of the room in which Kajin stayed, and the energy emissions of the light sculptures masked the young boy's presence in the Force. The light sculptures also seemed to block Kajin's telepathic presence, effectively keeping him from being detected by anyone outside the room. (CN3)

Light Corvette
This Rendili StarDrive vessel was used by the Empire as a customs ship. It measured 180 meters in length, and required a crew of 52 plus six gunners. The Light Corvette was armed with six double turbolaser cannons, and could transport up to 20 troops and 500 metric tons of cargo. Note that Galaxy Guide 6: Tramp Freighters names these ships "Imperal Customs Vessels." (FOP, GG6)

Light Dust
A sacred powder that nourished the Tree of Light. (ECAR)

Light Festival
An Ewok celebration which honors the rejuvenation of the Tree of Light. (ECAR)

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

Light Membrosia
see Membrosia (DN2)

Light Mural
This form of artwork was similar to a light sculpture, although on a much broader scale. Instead of using a bowl to contain the light that made up the display, a light mural used a bar or tray to support the miniature light generators and force-field emitters. This bar or tray rested on a wall and projected the artwork upward, making it appear as if the image floated above the bar. The miniaturized components stored in the bar allowed it to placed low on the wall, almost out of sight, while the image appeared to span the entire wall. (CN3)

Light of Reason
This strange ship was Seti Ashgad's flagship. It was composed of a multitude of smaller ships linked to a central propulsion system. The ship was designed to break into its constituent parts when it arrived at Nam Chorios. The reason for this was to evade the weapons emplacements of the Therans, who had programmed their defenses to fire on ships over a certain size and mass. Ashgad used the ship to meet with Leia Organa-Solo near Nam Chorios, and he also used it to transport weapons and synthdroids from Loronar Corporation to Nam Chorios. (POT)

Light of the Ancients, The
This was a religious references used by the natives of the planet Acherin. (LJ10)

Light of Truth
This cruiser was one of the many ships that were part of the Jedi Order's naval forces during the final years of the New Sith Wars. In the wake of the Ruusan Reformations, however, the Light of Truth was assimilated into the naval forces of the Old Republic. About ten years after the Battle of Ruusan, the Light of Truth was dispatched to Ambria, after the Jedi Council received a message for a woman named Zannah. Her message claimed that a Sith Lord who had survived the Battle of Ruusan had killed five Jedi on the planet Tython, and was hiding on Ambria. The message seemed to provide an explanation for the fact that Valenthyne Farfalla, Raskta Lsu, Sarro Xaj, Johun Othone, and Worror were all missing, after having set off on a mission to Tython. Jedi Master Tho'natu had been ordered to gather a crew of five other Jedi Masters and eight Jedi Knights, and traveled to Ambria aboard the Light of Truth with all possible haste. (DBRT)

Light Patrol Ship
Developed by Sienar Fleet Systems, this 38-meter-long cruiser was known for its speed and defenses. It wasn't very maneuverable, though, and often required additional support craft on a mission. The craft was manned by a crew of three with three gunners, and could transport up to eight prisoners in its brig. The Light Patrol Ship could carry up to 100 metric tons of cargo and a month's worth of supplies, and was armed with a pair of forward-facing laser cannons and three turret-mounted laser cannons. (FOP)

Light Radiation Suit
Developed by the CuMil branch of the Cularin Militia, the Light Radiation Suit (LRS) was an armored flight suit that was modified to allow a soldier to operate in environments where radiation poisoning was a threat. Much of the actual armor in the LRS was discarded in favor of added mobility, but the undersuit and seals were reinforced to allow a soldier to survive in hard vacuum for short periods of time. The seals needed regular maintenance and replacement, in order to preserve the integrity of the LRS. Additionally, CuMil technicians added an injection panel, that allowed a soldier to inject protobactin or other drug to combat radiation sickness without removing the LRS. (LFCW)

Light Sculpture
This was a form of artwork that used technology that was not unlike that found in a lightsaber to create displays and images using light. At the heart of a light sculpture was a compressed energy crystal, a crystal was was not unlike the focusing crystal used in a lightsaber. In fact, sevearl light sculptors discovered that Adegan and Luxum crystals were sometimes ideal for light sculptures. Using plasmatic energy and small flux inducers, the light sculptor could literally bend and twist light into a variety of shapes, colors, and patterns. While these patterns could be quite quite intricate, most successful light sculptors chose to use only a few colors, and place them into simple forms that evoked strong emotions in partons and viewers. The containment fields that were part of a light sculpture kept the ribbons of light in place, yet allowed the light to move and twist in hypnotic patterns. This combination of color, pattern, and form made each light sculpture unique. However, if the compressed energy crystal were to be damaged or removed, the entire light sculpture would collapse onto itself, becoming little more than a blob of light.

After watching Kajin Savaros move among light sculptures, Jax Pavan discovered that light sculptures emitted energy along a combination of frequencies that hid Kaj's presence in the Force. Dejah Duare also sensed that Kaj "disappeared" telepathically whenever he was near a sculpture. Jax and his comrades were able to use a collection of light sculptures to protect Kaj and ensure that his presence in the Force was not discovered by Imperial Inquisitors. (CN1, CN2, CN3)

Light Shaper
Similar to a villip-choir field, this Yuuzhan Vong technology used specialized creatures to send and receive images across vast distances. Unlike the villip choir, which used standard villips, the light shaper used villids to create a bioluminescent hologram. (UFCD)

Light Side of the Force
The ancient Jedi Knights developed an understanding of the Force, in which it had two opposing energies which balanced and offset each other in the natural world. The Jedi Order described these as The Light Side and the Dark Side. The Light Side was believed to bestow knowledge, peace, and serenity to its practitioners, but also took much more training and persistence to harness. The Light Side of the Force did not demand as much life-energy from its followers. Over time, the use of the term "Light Side of the Force" waned, presumably because the Jedi Order realized that their use of the Force was simply right, and opposed the Dark Side that was utilized by the Sith. The new Jedi Order formed by Luke Skywalker, in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong War, realized that the Force did not have Light and Dark Sides, but was instead a spectrum along which beings could live out their lives. Although there were certainly uses of the Force that were considered evil, there was not simple light and dark delineation. (SW, RFDV, LSSM)

Light Spirit
This benign entity was worshipped by the Ewoks. (ECAR)

Light Sport
The Light Sport was Drearian Defense Conglomerate's sporting blaster rifle, a prototypical sporting rifle that was known for its high quality and well-balanced design. The Light Sport had adequate power, but made up for it with greater range than most weapons of its class. (RPG, AEG)

Light Table
A flat, circular device which was used to display holograms and holographs. It had a parabolic holoprojector in its center, and had a set of external controls which manipulate the data displayed over the top of the table. (E6)

Light Tech
This was a form of woven starship armor plating that was developed by Slayn & Korpil during the height of the New Order. (SWG2P)

Lightboard
This Adumari device was used to display the readouts from the lightbounce sensor system. (SOA)

Lightbounce System
This Adumari sensor system uses lasers to determine the presence of objects nearby. Like sonar or radar, the lightbounce system was fairly archaic in the modern galaxy. (SOA)

Lighter
This was the name used to describe any small, light-duty transport ship. The name came from their original mission profile, which was to "lighten" planetary vessels by removing their cargo to a holding facility. These ships were easily modified, and could be armed for combat. (HSL, MBS)

Lightfight
This was Alliance military slang for a ground battle fought with laser weapons. (ROE)

Lightflash Squadron
This group of New Republic X-Wings served aboard the Allegiance during the defense of Adumar. (SOA)

Lightfoil
This form of dueling weapon was popular in Tapani Sector. It was modeled after the lightsabers of the Jedi Knights, but was much smaller and not as powerful or energy-efficient as the Jedi weapon. However, they were just as dangerous. The original lightfoils were formed after a cache of lightsabers were found in the holding of House Pelagia several years after the Jedi Purge. They became popular among young nobles, but Emperor Palpatine soon learned of their existence. He sent his Dark Side Adepts to confiscate the blades, but not before the basic technology was copied and used to create lightfoils. A separate social structure emerged in Tapani Sector because of the formal rivalries between houses, known as the Saber Rakes. (PGT)

Lightglobe
This was a type of lighting system that used small repulsors to keep the light source suspended in the air. The height of the lightglobe could be adjusted to alter the lighting conditions. (LSSM)

Lighthouse Network
This was the ancient term used to describe the interstellar network of fixed hyperspace beacons that was established in the Tion Cluser, during the years just prior to the formation of the Old Republic. These fixed beacons, coupled with forms of hyperdrive systems that were developed from ancient Rakatan technology, allowed early explorers to travel between star systems with relative ease. The discovery of new locations for these hyperspace beacons was a tedious, and exceptionally dangerous, endeavor. (NECH)

Lightly Tronned
This was a slang term used by the Special Operations units of the Alliance to describe any tron - an action that results in the disabling or crashing of an enemy vehicle - in which the enemy crew was able to survive. (GG9)

Light-mass Core
This was a form of power source used in many modern, mobile weapons systems. (MA)

Lightmoon, Gibbon
This New Republic flight technician was one of the initial designers of the covert shroud freighter/fighter system used by Luke Skywalker during the Republic's struggle with Grand Admiral Thrawn. (TTSB)

Lightning
This Alliance transport ship was assigned to rescue the technical staff of Cygnus Spaceworks from Imperial imprisonment, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. (XW, XWP)

Lightning
This Nebulon-B2 frigate was part of the Imperial Navy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (XVT)

Lightning
This converted New Republic Prinawe Racer was one of the many ships that answered the call to trail the Teljkon vagabond. It was ordered to return to drydock after the mission failed to intercept the vagabond at Gmir Askilon. (BTS, SOL)

Lightning
This Imperial Nebulon-B frigate was operative during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. The Lightning and its starfighter escort made regular raids on neutral and Alliance outposts, stealing whatever cargo they could in an attempt to cripple the Alliance's supply lines. (TIE, TIEP)

Lightning Beam Cannon
This was a smaller version of the Heavy Particle Beam Cannon, which fired a beam of coherent energy that fragmented as it moved, creating a lightning-like display when it struck a target. (SWG2P)

Lightning Cannon
This heavy laser weapon produced an extremely bright burst of coherent energy, which resembled a bolt of lightning as it moved. (SWG2P)

Lightning Gun
A weapon built by the Ganathans, the lightning gun fired coherent electrical pulses at its target. (DE2)

Lightning Module
This form of DarkStryder technology was powered by the intense energies contained in the Lifewell. When activated, the Lightning module emitted a bolt of pure electricity at a specific target. Like most DarkStryder technology, though, the Lightning module was only usable in Kathol Sector. Any attempt to remove it from the Sector and use it would result in the destruction of the module. (E)

Lightning Rifle
This custom-crafted blaster rifle was produced during the height of the New Order, and was popular among bounty hunters. It fired an intense, cohesive blast of electrical energy at a target, essentially hitting the target with a bolt of lightning. (SWGAL)

Lightning Rod
The battered supply ship owned by Peckhum, he used it to transport supplies to the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. When the New Republic's leaders realized that Luke Skaywalker's praxeum needed a reliable source of supplies, they gave Peckhum a newer ship. At this time, he turned the Lightning Rod over to his apprentice, Zekk. Zekk used it to strike out on his own as a bounty hunter, but soon relaized that he should be at the Academy. So, he returned, and used the ship to find Bornan Thul and fight the Diversity Alliance. (HTF, SHA)

Lightning Rod
This small staff was used as a weapon by the Ferroans who were native to the planet Zonama Sekot. It produced an intense, electrical discharge when activated. (FH3)

Lightning Spear
This was the Basic translation of the Ewok term used to describe a blaster weapon. (TGD)

Lightning Squadron
This group of New Republic Y-Wings was assigned to the Battle Dog during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj. They often supported a sister squadron of Cloakshape fighters, also based on the Battle Dog. (SOC)

Lightning Squadron
This group of clone troopers was trained in the use of AT-RT walkers. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Lightning Squadron was under the command of clone commander Ponds, and participated in the assault on Wat Tambor's fortress in the city of Lessu, on the planet Ryloth. Jedi Master Mace Windu briefly rode with Lightning Squadron during the assault. (CWTV21)

Lightning Technical Squadron
This New Republic team of field agents was part of the famed Eclipse Team. (SWJ10)

Lightning-rod Technique
This was a simple name used to describe the hassat-durr technique that was practiced by the Baran Do Sages. (FJ2)

Lightpad
This was a specialized form of datapad, created for medical use during the last decades of the Old Republic. It was used by doctors and nurses to monitor the vital statistics of their patients. (MBS)

Light-pike
This was the name used to describe the unusual lightsaber that was wielded by Jedi Master Kazdan Paratus. The weapon had two separate blades, one of which was shorter than the other. Master Paratus was quite proficient in its use, and he was all the more deadly with the weapon because of the unusual apparatus he wore on his back. After Master Paratus was killed by the Starkiller on Raxus Prime, the Starkiller took the light-pike and tried to use the weapon himself. However, he was unable to repair the weapon and properly align the focusing crystals, rendering the light-pike a piece of scrap. (TFUN)

Lightpole
These tall, hexagonal pillars were made from duracrete, and had glowpanels running up each face. Lightpoles were used on the planet Haruun Kal to illuminate the streets of major cities, such as Pelek Baw. (SHPT)

Lightrunner
This was Mammon Hoole's personal starship. He used it during his search for Borborygmus Gog and Project Starscream, but was forced to also use it as transport for his young niece and nephew, Tash and Zak Arranda, following the destruction of Alderaan. The Lightrunner was damaged when its hyperdrive cut out upon detecting the presence of D'vouran in its vicinity, and Hoole was forced to land the ship on the unusual planet. When the planet began consuming everything in sight, Hoole and his charges were forced to flee in the Millennium Falcon with Han Solo and Luke Skywalker. They were dropped on the planet Necropolis, where Hoole eventually purchased the Shroud. (GOF1, GOF2)

Lights District
This upscale section of the city of Gadrin, located on Cularin, was named for the bright lights that shone in its streets. (LFCW)

Lightsaber
Used much like a sword, this was the traditional weapon of both the Jedi Knights and the Sith. Based on the principles of tightly-controlled arc-wave energy, a lightsaber consisted of cylindrical handle in which sophisticated circuits channeled a beam of light through a series of jewels, which modulated the blade's size and amplitude. It was considered one of the Jedi students' final challenges to construct their own lightsaber. Many non-Jedi believed that a Jedi Knight used the lightsaber to channel the Force, but this was simply a superstition. Many Jedi Masters stressed the lightsaber as a true test of their apprentice's progress, for the lightsaber's power was great. A true Jedi Knight only used the lightsaber for defense, never attack, and there was a great deal of patience involved with learning this. Some Masters also used the lightsaber as a way to get their apprentices to focus their minds on the Force, for it took a great deal of skill to wield one. Many Jedi Masters believed that the lightsaber was the true Jedi's weapon because, while it could easily take the life of another being, it forced the wielder into close proximity to their opponent. This meant that a Jedi who was forced to kill another being had to look them in the face during battle. A blaster or other ranged weapon eliminated this personal link, giving the wielder the chance to alienate them from the death they caused.

The mechanics of a lightsaber were simple, although the application of them took great skill and concentration. A novice Jedi Knight could create his first lightsaber in about a month. A trained Jedi Master could, in a hurry, construct one in a few days. Note that the Star Wars Journal: The Fight for Justice indicates that a Jedi was given his lightsaber on his first day of training. Every lightsaber contained these basic components: a power cell, a handgrip, an activation plate or stud, a safety switch, a blade-length adjuster, an emitter matrix, and recharge socket, a lens assembly, at least one focusing crystal, a power conduit, and an optional belt ring. Because they used the so-called "frozen blaster" technology, the very first lightsabers were powered by an external battery pack that had to be worn on the back. A thick cable carried power to the handle, making these early weapons quite clumsy. Later lightsabers were powered by tiny diatium-based power cells, but these power cells required the Jedi Knight to use the Force to provide the cell with its initial burst of power. This use of the Force to power up a lightsaber was believed to have been the source of the myth that a Jedi channeled the Force through their weapon.

When activated, internal power cells create photoelectric energy which was focused through one, two, or three multi-facted crystals. The crystals could be arranged according to density, allowing the builder to obtain certain characteristics in the blade. In the lightsabers of the Jedi Knights, these crystals were found in nature, a task which requried the Jedi to focus their concentration on selecting a stone which would focus the energy and not explode. While ancient Jedi used all manner of crystals, most Jedi obtained crystals from the planet Ruusan, until these deposits were destroyed during the Battle of Ruusan. More often than not, the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic used crystals from the planet Ilum, which emitted blue or green blades. The Sith, however, used synthetic crystals formed in incredibly hot ovens, using their emotional control of the Force to assist in the formation of the stone. These Sith crystals generated a red blade which had the unusual strength to cleave a normal lightsaber blade in two. Regardless of the source and type of crystal, a Jedi or a Sith could sense the crystal's presence in their lightsaber, lending their own connection to the Force to focus energy through it. One training lesson used by the Jedi explained that "…the crystal is the heart of the blade. The heart is the crystal of the Jedi. The Jedi is the crystal of the Force. The Force is the blade of the heart. All are intertwined: the crystal, the blade, the Jedi … are one."

Jedi Knights of the New Republic era did not know of the Ilum deposits, and so many of them discovered other sources of crystals which produced a wide variety of blade colors. The energy was formed into a tight, parallel beam of coherent packets. These packets were emitted through a positively-charged, continuous energy lens which projects the packets away from the lightsaber. The packets were almost immediately attracted back to the lightsaber by a negatively-charged, high-energy flux aperature, and then continually recycled to create the glowing blade. The packets were recycled by a superconductor back into the power cell for re-energizing, creating a gyroscopic precession that gave the lightsaber a sense of mass. The entire process was completely contained. No energy was lost, since the light in the blade was recaptured. No heat was generated, either. The only energy loss occurred when the blade struck an object, which resulted in a searing heat that could cauterize a wound or melt through durasteel plating. It was this intense, self-contained power that made a lightsaber dangerous to construct, since a mis-alignment could cause the energy to burst forth from the weapon and cause it to explode.

The majority of the lightsabers produced before the Clone Wars were not waterproof. The hilt was often not sealed against water, and any moisture that got inside the hilt usually resulted in the weapon shorting out at the worst possible time. Jedi Master Kit Fisto, a member of the aquatic Nautolan race, developed a way to use a bifurcating cyclical-ignition pulse to keep his lightsaber active, even when used underwater. He provided instructions for creating this system just prior to the Clone Wars, and many Jedi began to use it in their weapons, since they never knew where they might be deployed next.

When Obi-Wan Kenobi began teaching Luke Skywalker how to use his father's lightsaber, Kenobi began by showing Luke the basic body positions used by the Jedi. There were seven attack positions, and four defensive positions. Each attack or defense position flowed into the next, creating a smooth, continual motion. To perform them all in sequence took concentration, skill, and stamina. The Jedi Masters who taught lightsaber combat to the Padawans of the Old Republic often started out with minimally-powered training blades, and spent much of the early training period in discussion rather than fighting. Among the lessons taught to Padawans was that, during any lightsaber combat, the first rule was not to fall down. This lesson, like many others within the training of a Jedi, had meaning outside of lightsaber training.

Sith lightsabers did not appear in use until after the Great Hyperspace War, when Freedon Nadd left the Jedi Order and fell to the Dark Side of the Force. Over time, two characteristics distinguished a Sith weapon from those of the Jedi. First, the blade of a Sith lightsaber was almost always red in color. Second, the Sith became synonymous with the use of double-bladed lightsabers, although there were a few Jedi Knights who used them as well.

In the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, Grand Master Skywalker instituted a requirement that any lightsaber incident that resulted in an injury to living flesh had to be fully investigated by a Jedi Master, as a way to ensure the proper use of the weapon by the new Jedi Order. He was even forced to investigate his own son's involvement in the injuries sustained by Zekk aboard the Millennium Falcon, during combat over Hapes. (E4, E4R, SWSB, TOJ, SE, JLS, TOJC, DMSH, SWI62, PJSB, MJH, LJ1, DBPD, LF4, EGF, CN2, CWWS, LLOW)

Lightsaber Pike
This unique weapon was rarely seen in the galaxy, and was believed to have been wielded only by the Emperor's Shadow Guards. Resembling a force pike with a lightsaber blade on one end, this weapon allowed the Shadow Guard to attack and defend with either end of the weapon, allowing them to stun or kill their opponent at will. By wielding the lightsaber end, a Shadow Guard could also duel with a Jedi Knight, although the weapon's configuration gave the Shadow Guard a distinct advantage in reach. (SWMW)

Light-scan Visor
Originally developed more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, these devices provided enhanced visual acuity by analyzing the incoming light sources and providing visual displays from frequencies above those of normal sight. More expensive visors could be adjusted for race-specific characteristics. (KOTOR)

Lightside Explorer
Andur Sunrider's personal starship, the Lightside Explorer was purchased by Andur from a Vultan dealer on Nak Shimor. The ship was a Vaya-class scout ship, which Andur later refitted for civilian use in transporting his family. (TOJ, TOJC)

Lightsider
This was the game at which Luke Skywalker bested Kam Solusar, during the early years of the New Republic. (DE1, DA)

Lightspeed
This was a term used to describe the rate at which a starship moved through hyperspace. Despite this term, Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Jedi Crash indicates that lightspeed is one hundred million times faster than the speed of light. (CWTV13)

Lightspeed Lightweight
This was one of the worst holofilms of the Old Republic, produced in the years leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN4)

Lightspeed Torpedo
This was the name given to the huge missiles that were fired by the Empire's Galaxy Gun. Each of these missiles was capable of traveling through hyperspace to a specific location, where they dropped out of hyperspace and continued their flight to their target. (NEGW)

Lightstaff
A weapon once used by the Jedi Knights. (DLS)

Light-stalk
This unusual plant, native to the planet Zonama Sekot, was a two-meter-tall stalk which supported a small ball of bioluminescent cells. The Ferroans discovered that light-stalks could be grown in such a way as to light pathways. (FH3)

Lightstation
This was a form of hyperspace beacon developed by the Baobab Merchant Fleet, and was used to demark the hyperspace trade routes they used from the company's base on Manda. Most of these lightstations were automated, simply marking a point in space and providing directional data for other lightstations down the line. Only the Umboo Lightstation was regularly manned by living beings. (WOTC, SWDB)

LightStealth-18 Reconnaissance Ship
This reconnaissance craft was built by Kuat Drive Yards for the New Republic Navy. It first saw duty at the Battle of Tynna. Known as the LSR, the ship was built for speed and stealth. The surface of this craft bristled with a multitude of low-profile sensor suites, rectennae, scanners, and communications arrays. In order to maintain the ship's power needs, a capital-scale power generator was installed as the main power plant. The New Republic believed that the ship was virtually invisible to the enemy, but Nas Choka's forces were able to detect it and track its actions. The Supreme Commander chose to leave the ship alone, letting the New Republic believe that the ship was undetected and giving them a false sense of security. (JE)

Lightstorm
This was the name given to the intense waves of energy which were often encountered at the edge of a nebula or galaxy. (E)

Lightstorm Chamber
Developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, a lightstorm chamber was used to protect a separate chamber or area of a building. The systems within the lightstorm chamber wre activated when an individual walk into the chamber. At this point, the chamber resembled a room filled with pinpoints of light all over the walls. If the individual continued to move about, the chamber's sensor-lined walls recognized the movement and triggered the automated defenses. The pinpoints of light began shooting blaster bolts in a criss-cross pattern, pinning the individual down or killing them outright. (J2)

Light-That-Burned
This term was used on the planet Ansion to describe lightning, especially among the Gwurran. (APS)

Lightwhip
This was the name of a Dark Jedi weapon that was created by Lumiya, as the final step in her training under Darth Vader. She created it from information found in an ancient Sith tome on the planet Ziost. The flexible whip was formed from leather strips that were impregnated with shards of the Kaiburr Crystal and Mandalorian iron, making the weapon virtually indestructible. The origins of the lightwhip were lost over time, and the weapon was virtually unheard of in the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Thus, most modern Jedi had never seen a lightwhip, let alone train for combat against someone who wielded one. Those beings who did see a lightwhip often simply referred to it as an energy whip. The unusual nature and rarity of the lightwhip allowed Lumiya to gain the upper hand in several battles against the Jedi, specifically Tresina Lobi and Luke Skywalker. (GAL3, GMR5, OWS, LF3, LF5, CN2)

Lightwhip
This was a form of whip that employed light energy to stun a target, as well as lash out to cause severe wounds. They were rare and unusual during the last years of the Old Republic, and exceptionally difficult to build. (TCD)

Lightwick Sculpture
This form of artwork used a continual flame to produce an entertaining display. (APS)

Lignan Crystal
This crystal was favored by the ancient Sith for use in their lightsabers, during the era of the Great Hyperspace War. Lignan provided a connection to the Dark Side of the Force, which could be tapped by a Sith to augment their own strength and power. The Sith who crash-landed the warship Omen on Kesh carried with them a shipment of Lignan crystals from Phaegon III, which were guarded inside the Sith Temple and used as focusing crystals in their lightsaber. (LTS1, FJ2)

Lignyot
This was the nickname given to members of the cryptanalysis unit of the Imperial Intelligence community's Analysis Bureau. It was originally coined to describe tahe agents of the Old Republic's Cryptanalysis Department, although very few beings actually knew if the name actually meant anything. Lignyots were known for their cruel sense of humor, sending messages to other Intelligence branches in simple codes that required immediate decryption. If not decoded in time, these messages mutated into embarrassing holovids. They would also change the location of the entrances to their offices, providing outsiders with simple scandocs that provided clues to the new location. These practices earned the lignyots, and the Cryptanalysis Department, a reputation as mischief-makers and productivity inhibitors, but the Analysis Bureau decided to allow their games to continue. They were told by Ubiqtorate agents to ignore the request of other branches to stop the lignyots, as the Ubiqtorate believed that their mischief represented an imitation of rebel terrorism, and they gauged other branches on their ability to respond.

Lihnn, Mahwi
This woman was a capable bounty hunter during the last decades of the Old Republic. She had been hired by the Trade Federation for certain jobs, and found it not at all surprising when Rune Haako contacted her about locating Hath Monchar. She gladly took the job, and trailed the rogue Neimoidian to Coruscant. However, she was unable to capture Monchar before he was killed by Darth Maul. When Maul discovered Lihnn's presence, she found herself in a struggle to survive against the Sith Lord. She tried to shoot him down with a wrist rocket laucher, but the resulting explosion struck her like a brick wall. Her limb body was smashed against a wall, and Lihnn died of her injuries. (DMSH)

Liinade III
This planet, a member world of the Ciutric Hegemony, was an agricultural center known for its caf synthesizers and comlinks. Liinade III was developed during the last decades of the Old Republic, and its growth continued during the New Order and into the New Republic. It was targetted for raids by the New Republic, during its hunt for Prince-Admiral Krennel, in an effort to debase his control of the Hegemony. Corran Horn discovered a laboratory which was designing a new form of Death Star, dubbed Pulsar Station, and the republic believed the lab was set up by Krennel. In fact, the lab was established by Ysanne Isard, in an effort to undermine the efforts of Krennel and Isard's clone to break the Republic. After liberating the planet, the New Republic sent several supply convoys to the world. Krennel attempted to blockade the planet, in hopes of causing more damage to the Republic. (IR)

Liintaar
This planet was the site of an Alliance communications relay station which was used during the Galactic Civil War. (MBC)

Liintaar Station

Lij, Drif
This Barabel was one of the pilots who flew as part of the Wild Knights. Drif Lij was working with Wonetun to help capture a Yuuzhan Vong yammosk, some twenty-seven years after the Battle of Yavin. Drif Lij piloted an older model T-65 X-Wing. In addition to being an accomplished pilot, Drif was also an excellent student of the Force. During the early stages of the Second Battle of Coruscant, Drif Lij's fighter was hit by plasma balls and exploded, killing the Barabel pilot instantly. (SBS)

Lij, Miera
This woman worked as a computer operator in Alvorine City, during the early years of the New Republic. A petty woman, Miera often sold information she learned while working for Marshal Hundria Kast. (GMR5)

Lijarak Mines
This mining operation was located on the planet Anic. (AIR)

Lijarak Mines Incident
This was the name of a struggle between the Alliance and the Empire, on the planet Anic, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. The Alliance suffered defeat on Anic, and few of its personnel escaped alive. (AIR)

Lijuter
This planet, located in the Reibrin System of the Ansuroer Sector, was the location of the largest Houk colony in the galaxy. The Empire established a orbital research station near the planet's second moon, in an effort to breed the perfect slave from Houk genetic material. It was not known if the Empire succeeded in this endeavor. Lijuter was orbited by two natural satellites and a number of space stations, which were used primarily by offworlders. (GG12, UANT)

Lijuter Congress
This was the primary Houk governmental body. Each of the 31 Houk colonies had a representative on the Congress. (GG12)

Likarin, Meqli
This was the name of a noted Caamasi individual. (UANT)

Likashan
An alien race which joined the New Republic. (SOP)

Like Blasting Mon Cals in a Fish Bowl
This was a slang term used by gamblers during the era of the Galactic Civil War to describe any situation in which a deal was too easy to gather a reward from. Quite often, a situation that was described as "like blasting Mon Cals in a fish bowl" presented a gambler with several high-value deals with clients of low or minimal business intelligence, placing the odds in favor of the gambler. More often than not, however, these situations proved to have devastating consequences, since nothing in life was ever truly easy or free. (SWJ4, OWS)

Like Herglic on Mrlssti
This phrase evolved in the Tapani Sector, and derived from the size difference between the two races. In most situations, it referred to the fact that opposites didn't mix, as in "like oil and water." It could also be used to indicate pain, as if a Herglic were to sit on a Mrlssti. Contrary to popular belief, it doesn't indicate any enmity between the two races. (LOE)

Likka
An alien creature native to Masterhome, the likka were domesticated and trained as mounts for use by the warriors of the Godlings of the Anointed People. Likka resembled large crocodiles, and were bad-tempered at best. Specialized reins were attached to the likka' eyelids in order to control the beasts. (SWCP)

Likryt Stew

This woman was a settler who lived on Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Lila
This junk dealer worked for Borvo the Hutt, on the planet Naboo, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

Li-Li, Jang
This Jedi Knight was one of many students who had some level of training under Count Dooku, when he was skill a member of the Jedi Order. Dooku remembered her as a handsome woman who sometimes sought out his advice. Jang accompanied Jai Maruk on a mission to Vjun, during the height of the Clone Wars, to investigate the build-up of Separatist forces in the sector. They discovered that Count Dooku had established a stronghold on Vjun, and were captured by Asajj Ventress. Unfortunately, Jang Li-Li was no match for Ventress in combat, and was slain by the Dark Jedi. Ventress claimed that Jang Li-Li was the sixteenth Jedi she had killed in one-on-one combat, and that Master Maruk would have been the seventeenth if Dooku hadn't allowed him to live. (YDR)

Lilit
This given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Lill
This spicy flavoring was grown on the planet Lianna, and was found in many Liann dishes. Lill was often combined with dried choya to form a tasty breading that was used to coat fish sticks. (ML, OWS)

Lillald
This New Republic Senator served on the Council on Security and Intelligence. He supported Cair Tok Noimm's stance on the status of the mission sent to intercept the Teljkon vagabond near Gmir Askilon, requesting that the Republic send a team to continue the search. (SOL)

Lilli
This strong-willed, teenage girl was one of the two Venerated Ones from the planet Vandelhelm. Her full name, which she hated to use, was Lillindri Nanimei Filda Vandelhelm XXXII. Just before the Battle of Endor, Lilli and Endro were whisked off the planet when it became apparent that galactic power was going to change hands. The children were the last heirs to the Vandel and Helm lines, and were given over to Alliance supporters on Ord Vaug. Following the Battle, Han Solo was contracted to pick them up on Ord Vaug and return them to Vandelhelm, an action which would help restore ore shipments to Fondor. They were necessary because they held the control codes which could be used to move the ore convoy out of the system. After she was voted into power just days following her return, Lilli - just fifteen at the time - showed skills in the area of finance. She lowered prices on refined ores, which did little to make her popular among the Metalsmiths but allowed more buyers to place larger orders, thereby increasing Vandelhelm's income as well as profits. Vandelhelm quickly reach new levels of income from its metal and ore production, but this last only for a few years. Lilli was still a petulant child at heart, and ordered a vast fleet of starships - lovingly named Solo-class freighters in honor of Han Solo - to be built for the New Republic as a gift from the Venerated Ones. This taxed the Vandelhelm coffers, bringing profits to a bare minimum for many years. (PH)

Lillibanca
This cruiser was one of the many warships The Confederation dispatched to Kashyyyk, in an effort to enlist the aid of the Wookiees in the growing civil war against the Galactic Alliance, some forty years after the Battle of Yavin. Jacen Solo and his flagship, the Anakin Solo, had arrived earlier, and had started using turblaser attacks on the planet as a form of punishment, because the Wookiees were harboring the members of the Jedi Council. When Solo was finally driven off, the Lillibanca lent its assistance to the civilian starships that tried to put out the forest fires that raged across the planet. (LF7)

Lillindri Nanimei Filda Vandelhelm XXXII
This was the full name of the young woman who was one of Vandelhelm's Venerated Ones during the last years of the New Order. (PH)

Lilmit
This cargo hauler was licensed to operate out of Ord Mantell. A small, grey-skinned alien with winglike eyebrows and a ridged forehead, he owned the Rude Awakening, which he used to transport weapons to the various warring factions on Anobis. He sold to the highest bidder, but primarily to the miners. He worked for Czethros in this capacity, although he was simply trying to make ends meet for his own small family. He was intercepted during a run by Han Solo, who had come to Anobis to discover the reasons behind the war. Solo boarded the Rude Awakening and discovered the nature of Lilmit's cargo, then planted explosives to destroy it. Lilmit was forced to jettison the weapons cargo before it exploded inside his ship. Sometime later, Lilmit was given a cargo of spice to transport from Kessel, although he was still in Czethros' employ. While docked on Kessel and hoping to escape Czethros' takeover of the world, he was detained by Anja Gallandro. As he explained his role in the civil war on Anobis, he told her of the plan Czethros had implemented to further his own gains. His talking helped harden Anja's resolve to defeat Czethros, and although he was caught on Kessel, Lilmit managed to escape safely when the Jedi Knights brought down his plans. Later, Lilmit was recommended to Lando Calrissian by Anja, for a position as a pilot. (ROM, CCR)

Lilto
Balto's wife, she was a native of Kalarba. (DRO)

Lim, Aya
This was the name of a noted Kaminoan scientist. (UANT)

Lim Tree
This tree was developed by the Yuuzhan Vong Shaper Nen Yim for its beauty as well as its nearly-continual appetite. The lim tree was believed to have been extinct, maintained only as a genetic blueprint in the Qang qahsa. The silvery tendrils of the lim tree moved about in feeble motions, seraching for any form os sustenance they could grasp. Lim trees were used in Nen Yim's private quarters to keep organic debris and refuse to a minimum. When Nen Yim encountered a plant which was very similar to a lim tree on Zonama Sekot, it became obvious to her that there was a strong connection between the living planet, the Yuuzhan Vong, and the galaxy of the New Republic. The incredible similarity indicated that some Yuuzhan Vong had made contact with the planet no less than 1,000 years before the invasion, since data on the lim tree had not been accessed in the Qang qhasa since then. (FP)

Limba
This alias was used by Leia Organa Solo, shortly after her marriage to Han Solo, during a mission to Tatooine to locate a group of Imperial agents. Limba was a Twi'lek female, and Leia's disguise included a pair of prosthetic lekku that seemed to twitch with life. (TG)

Limbfree
This Nosaurian Commander served in the military forces of his homeworld of New Plympto, during the era of the Clone Wars. In the aftermath of Darth Sidious' command to execute Order 66, the Nosaurians suddenly found themselves fighting for their very lives, as Emperor Palpatine demanded the immediate suppression and subjugation of former Separatist planets. Commander Limbfree was among the many casualities of the fighting. (DT1)

Limeren
This Imperial agent was one of the few who were surgically altered to resemble a Mon Calamarias, in an effort to try and subvert the stoic aliens. Limeren joined his home world's COMPNOR education branch, but was disgusted by the ineptitude he found there. He turned to Imperial Intelligence, and became an informer. He would shake a man's hand and stab him in the back in successive breaths. (DU)

LiMerge Power
This energy producer and weapons manufacturer was accused to producing and distributing prohibited weapons during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. It was rumored that LiMerge had also funded specific acts of piracy against the Trade Federation during this time, and these rumors eventually led to the Old Republic's concession to allow Federation transports to be escorted by droid starfighters. LiMerge was originally based on the planet Tythe, where it originally was established to exploit the planet's natural plasma deposits. Their attempts caused massive geological disruptions, leaving the planet a desolate wasteland. LiMerge fled Tythe and established a presence on Coruscant, in the form of a weapons manufacturing facility in The Works sector. It was this building that eventually became the meeting place for Darth Sidious and his apprentices, during the build-up to the Clone Wars. (LEV)

Limi
This group of Alliance container ships was destroyed by Maarek Stele, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE, TIEP)

Limit of Vision
This was the Seltaya-class fast courier assigned to Jedi Master Jai Maruk during the height of the Clone Wars. (YDR)

Limited Barrage Pattern
This offensive military maneuver was designed to make a targetted starship dodge one volley of laser-fire, only to run into another barrage. (THG)

Limited Fielding Test Initiative
This was the term used by the Imperial Navy to describe the various prototype tests that were performed on variations of the TIE Fighter design, including that of the TIE Oppressor. Despite the name, Limited Fielding Test Initiatives often resulted in sufficient numbers of new designs being produced to cause trouble for the Alliance, as new variants forced the Alliance to develop new tactics. (SWGAL)

Limited Warfare
This song, written and played by the band Red Shift Limit, was banned by the Imperial Board of Culture. It first appeared on a compilation of the same name. (GG9)

Limiter
This was a generic term used to decribe a starship modification package that throttled the amount of power generated by a starship's drive systems. It allowed a larger drive system to be added to a small vessel, in situations where too much power created higher levels of thrust, which could cause structural damage, but may be needed in a desparate situation. (SWG2P)

Limm
This woman served as a trooper in the Galactic Alliance Guard, during the height of the Corellia-GA War. Trooper Limm was chosen by Jacen Solo, along with Sergeant Wirut, to accompany him to a meeting with the Galactic Alliance Chief of State, Cal Omas. The meeting was very brief, as Jacen had Omas arrested for treason against the Galactic Alliance, after it was learned that Omas had been secretly meeting with the Corellian Prime Minister, Dur Gejjen. Although neither showed it, both Wirut and Limm were emotionally shaken by the act of arresting the Chief of State and turning him over to the authorities. (LF5)

Limmer, Z.
Ororo Transportation's human Chief Financial officer. He was killed by Guri when she met with Ororo's highest officials to translate Xizor's displeasure with Ororo's attempt to steal part of the spice trade. (SE)

Limmie
This was the name, used in the Core Worlds and many outlying worlds such as Mandalore, to describe the sport of bolo-ball. (HNN4, RCTC)

Limoth
This man served as the Colonial Governor of Goroth Prime, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (GSE)

Limoth, Garlan
This Old Republic Senator was one of the small group which supported Senator Palpatine of Naboo, shortly before the Battle of Naboo and Palpatine's election to the Supreme Chancellor. However, when Palpatine declared himself Emperor and instituted the New Order, Senator Limoth withdrew his support. He died almost immediately afterward in a tragic accident. (GSE)

Limoth, Hola
This woman was married to Imperial Governor Marsh Limoth. The couple had two chidren. (GSE)

Limoth, Marsh
Unlike his father, Senator Garlan Limoth, Marsh never withdrew his support of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine when he declared himself Emperor. Marsh turned his back on his father, and was rewarded for his loyalty with a posting as Moff Nebin Cray's personal assistant. Cray hated being "assisted" by someone hand-picked by Emperor Palpatine, and was the first to nominate Marsh for the position of colonial governor of Goroth Prime. It was Cray's "sacrifice" which allowed Marsh to gain the governor's position, since he gave a glowing recommendation. Governor Limoth operated as a true supporter of the New Order, despite claims from his peers that he was only serving at Governor for his own personal gain. (GSE)

Limpan, Tarla
This female Duros rose through the ranks of the Galactic Alliance's naval forces, reaching the rank of Admiral several years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. She was chosen to succeed Admiral Matric Klauskin as commander of the Galactic-class battle carrier Dodonna, after Klauksin suffered a nervous breakdown in the wake of Operation Roundabout. She found herself hosting Leia Organa Solo aboard the vessel during the crisis in the Corellian System, unaware that Leia was attempting to stall any GA response to a Corellian attack on the Navos Center on Tralus, where GA forces had established a beachhead.

Limpan and her crew remained in the Corellian System, leading the blockade that only tightened after the failed, Corellian-sponsored assassination attempt on the life of the Hapan Queen Mother, Tenel Ka. Their mission was relatively quiet until a Bothan war fleet arrived in-system, having bypassed the GA blockade of the Bothawui System with the help of Klauskin himself, who was under the control of Lumiya. The Bothans were then joined by a group of warships from Commenor. Admiral Limpan found her fleet suddenly outgunned, and was forced to open fire with all weapons on Centerpoint Station in order to prevent it from falling under Corellian control.

Her inexperience with a large fleet nearly cost the GA's forces a chance to escape, when she ordered all vessels to jump to Point Bleak. Colonel Fiav Fenn, one of Klauskin's aides, recommended against the order, forcing Limpan to choose between her pride and her people. Limpan accepted Fenn's plans, and set the retreat in motion. Despite reaching the rendezvous point, the Dodonna was in no shape to remain part of the fleet. Admiral Limpan was forced to transfer the fleet's flag designation to the Blue Diver.

Admiral Limpan and her fleet were given new orders that involved a series of hit-and-run attacks on Corellian locations, including Centerpoint Station, but these attacks did little damage. Admiral Limpan was later assigned to the reserve force that accompanied Jacen Solo to a rendezous with Five Worlds Prime Minister Sadras Koyan, who ostensibly wanted to discuss Corellia's possible return to the Galactic Alliance. Admiral Limpan and the Blue Diver led a small task force that was stationed a short jump from the rendezvous point, so as not to provoke the Corellians, but ready to jump in if the rendezvous turned out to be a trap. Unfortunately, the trap that Koyan had planned was very nearly successful. After forcing the Alliance's ships into defensive mode by launching Corellian starfighters, Koyan and his team fired the Centepoint Station repulsor at the rendezvous point. Although Solo was safely away from the blast in a prototype TIE Reconnaissance Fighter, the Blue Diver and most of the Second Fleet was in the blast path. Admiral Limpan, and all aboard the Blue Diver at the time, were instantly killed in the blast. (LF1, LF4, LF7)

Limpet Mine
This small explosive device was developed to assist with the placement of a tracer or homing beacon on a starship. Usually employed during a dogfight, a limpet mine was launched at an enemy ship, where it exploded just prior to impacting the other ship's hull. This explosion freed the tracer hidden inside, which would then attach to the other ship's hull. If the explosion was convincing enough, the pilot of the enemy ship would believed that they had avoided a serious hit, and would not notice the tracer until a later time. (DOG)

Limulus-class Transport
This intra-system personnel transport was used during the last years of the Old Republic to move dignitaries and politicians across the galaxy. Although the Limulus-class was primarily designed for transport between planets in the same system, it could also be fitted to a hyperdrive ring for faster-than-light travel. The Limulus-class transport was a needle-shaped craft that was distinguished by its silver hull plating. (TCD)

Lin
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 Lin indicated hope, faith, or trust. (GCG)

Lin
This Alliance YT-1300 was captured by Imperial forces, during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. (TIE, TIEP)

Lin, Berd
This Harixian youth escaped from the Gektl Stafuv Rahz with the help of Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, and R2-D2, sometime after the Battle of Yavin. Although he was glad to be free, Berd was adamantly against any further actions that didn't directly lead to the rescue of his mother, Myoris Lin, who was still in Rahz's control. With the help of Han Solo, they managed to outwit Rahz and rescue Myoris. Rahz tried to escape by grabbing a sonic beam generator and threatening to kill them, but Berd had sabotaged the weapon. When Rahz fired it, the weapon exploded, killing the Gektl and allowing the group to escape. (CSWEA, OWS)

Lin, Myoris
This Harixian school teacher was one of the many teachers who openly rebelled against Imperial control of Harix, sometime after the Battle of Yavin. She was kidnapped by Major Stafuv Rahz, who attempted to silence the rebellion by removing the school teachers. Rahz had been under orders from Darth Vader himself to capture the school teachers, hoping to lure more rebels into trying to rescue them. Myoris' own son, Berd, enlisted the help of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo in rescuing his mother. The rebels tricked Rahz and Darth Vader into believing that an Alliance fleet had arrived in the system, then took advantage of the confusion to rescue Myoris and the others, saving them from execution at the hands of Darth Vader. (CSWEA, OWS)

Lin chenko vas skeemo
This Ewokese statement translated roughly into Basic as "We met (or did meet) another man." (E6, GPB)

This was the designation of the droid that supported the operation of Kar Yang. LIN-2 was a silver, humanoid automaton. (SEE)

LIN-D2D
This LIN-series droid was programmed to be a military observer in Mos Eisley. (GG7)

Lindemor
This species of tree grew on the planet Gala. (MOC)

Linden, Arviz
This man worked for Dynamic Synergetics as the director of the hyperbaride plant on Marca, until he was killed by Vost Tyne. During his tenure as the director of the plant, Linden purposely kept hyperbaride production to a low twenty-five percent of capacity, in order to maintain the native ecology of Marca and not endanger the native Sekct. He had planned to make contact with the Alliance and alert them to the presence of the plant, but was killed before he could make the contact. Tyne had no such morals about Marc and the Sekct, and quickly pushed production toward 100 percent after Linden's death. (POM)

Lindilu
see Lin (TIEP)

Lindros
This was a popular main dish at the restaurants of the Zkygret District of Coruscant, during the early years of the New Order. (EAP)

Lindy
This friend of Hobbie Klivian was stationed at Bestine when Hobbie and Biggs Darklighter defected from the Rand Ecliptic. Lindy provided the defectors with assistance in evacuating the ship's cargo. (MTS, GG3)

Line Branch
This was a division of the Imperial Navy. (CCG4)

Line Caster
This was the name used to describe any system which fired a length of syntherope at a specific target. The syntherope was attached to a grappling hook or power piton, allowing it to attach to its target securely. (FTD)

Line Creeper
This was a species of parasite, believed to be native to Csilla or another Chiss-held world, which was similar in most respects to the conduit worm of Coruscant, but considered by many to be a worse problem. Resembling long, segmented worms, line creepers chewed through metal pipes and wiring conduits to reach the electrical power moving through them. Often a problem in buildings, line creepers were also encountered on starships, where the potential for damage was much greater. This made the elimination of line creepers a top priority to Chiss starship maintenance crews. Luckily, line creepers expelled an unusual combination of gases as they ate, making it easy to detect their locations. When found aboard a moving starship, line creepers were often ejected into space, since they could not survive in a vacuum. Dean Jinzler and a number of his old friends learned that line creepers could be tricked into the open by shutting down a ship's main reactors, and running a series of portable generators to handle the bare necessities. The line creepers, deprived of power from the main reactor, would move toward the generators. If the generators were surrounded by salt water, the line creepers would fall into the salt water before reaching the generators. The salt water would short out the organic capacitors of the line creepers, killing them in the process. It was an effective, although entirely disgusting, way to eliminate them. (SQ)

Line Master
This small corporation produced a variety of portable grappling and climbing devices. (OE)

Line One
This was the name of the textile manufacturing district that was owned and operated by Naescorcom, during the final years of the Old Republic. Line One was located in the city of Ipsus, in the atmosphere of the planet Genarius. When the Separatist threat began to grow during the years leading to the Clone Wars, Naescorcom moved its textile manufacturing facilities from Line One into the aboveground levels of Line Two, to ensure the security and safety of its people. (LFC, MCT2)

Line Two
This was the name of the thermal detonator manufacturing district that was owned and operated by Naescorcom, during the final years of the Old Republic. Line Two was located in the city of Ipsus, in the atmosphere of the planet Genarius. In contrast to the openness of Line One, the buildings of Line Two were heavily reinforced and built low to the ground. All development and manufacturing was done below the surface of the city, and the finished products were gently packaged and moved to the surface for distribution. When the Separatist threat began to grow during the years leading to the Clone Wars, Naescorcom moved its textile manufacturing facilities from Line One into the aboveground levels of Line Two, to ensure the security and safety of its people. This merged facility was threatened shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, when it was learned that the Believers had established a virus production facility in Ipsus very near to Line Two. Naescorcom sent its people home, leaving Nirama as the only individual who seemed worried about the threat. The crimelord hired a group of freelance agents to root out the Believers and secure the facility. (LFC, MCT2)

Line/Flank Formation
This military maneuver was developed by Arndall Lott, who first deployed it with Imperial AT-AT walkers. In the Line/Flank Formation, one half of a group of walkers moved into battle in a single-file line, while the other half advanced in a straight line that was perpendicular to the other group. In this way, the walkers could quickly move into any number of attack formations, depending on the situation on the battlefield. (WBC)

Linear Miasma
This was one of the small nebulae that surrounded the planet Endor. The few travel routes through the Linear Miasma were clogged with pirates and slavers, much to the dismay of the Endorian Researchers Guild. (SWGAL)

Link, The
This term, used in the Elrood Sector of the galaxy, described the informal, sector-wide network of gossipers and rumor-mills active during the Galactic Civil War. (PG3)

Linkaas
This Pliith was the president of the Linkaas Corporation, and specialized in loan-sharking. Linkaas employed Dannen Lifehold as a smuggler for eight years, during which time the smuggler worked off a loan for his ship, the Lifeline. Just as Dannen was about to make his final payment, Linkaas engineered a plan to either kill the human or blame him for the loss of a valuable cargo. Linkaas arranged for the cargo to be stolen on Dohu VII, while he sent his goons Bakk and Chokk to kill Dannen. The Bloxian brothers failed, so Linkaas tried to force Dannen to pay the debt or be destroyed. Dannen escaped, leaving Linkaas without a ship. Linkaas vowed to hunt Dannen down and recover it. (SWJ1)

Linkaas Corporation
Owned by Linkaas, this front business served to mask the Pliith's loan-sharking and smuggling operations. It was based on Dohu VII, in the city of Skagras. (SWJ1)

Link-steel
This lightweight metal was created from normal steel. It was often reinforced with burthan threads for added strength. (CFG)

Linkup
This was the codename of the revised extraction point, where Luke Skywalker and his Hardpoint Squadron were to retrieve the Jedi Knights of Team Tauntaun and Team Purella from the surface of Corellia, some ten years after the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The mission was part of a larger initiative by the Galactic Alliance govnerment to prevent Thrackan Sal-Solo from seceding the Corellian System from the Galactic Alliance. (LF1)

Linn'con
This was a form of atrwork collected by many members of the Naboo society. (CCG15)

Linnie
During the mission to rescue Hallena Devis from Separatist rebels on JanFathal, Jedi Master Djinn Altis adopted the guise of a dishomed man who was searching for his daughter. He used the name Linnie to describe the girl, asking the rebels if they had seen her. This gave the clone troopers who were with Altis a chance to break into the rebel compound and rescue Devis.

LIN-series Droid
These rolling, hemispherical droids were designed to perform mining and demolition work on planets and in space. They could place explosives in highly volatile areas where a human or other life form couldn't. They were built by Cybot Galactica, using the Treadwell locomotion system. On top of this base, the dense dome shell was installed. A single, heavy-duty manipulator arm allowed the LIN-series to move explosive devices around. These droids were marketed as "blast proof" by SchaumAssoc, a claim that many beings refuted after blasting their LIN-series droids with laser cannons. While many beings felt that the LIN was perfect for its role, others claimed that the weight of its durasteel shell caused the droid to move too slowly to be efficient, and wore out its primary impeller in a relatively short period of time. Despite these perceived drawbacks, the LIN served its purpose quite well, until it was learned that they also experienced breakdowns in humid environments. Before Cybot Calactica could get a fix to the field, several LIN droids exploded in damp mines, killing hundreds of miners and branding the LIN-series as a dangerously unpredictable automaton. The bad press and public outcry at these deaths created a public relations nightmare for Cybot Galactica, and the corporation was ultimately forced to halt production entirely on the LIN-series droids. (GG7, CCG, EGD, NEGD)

The destruction of the first Death Star at the Battle of Yavin put an end to these plans, as Grand Moff Tarkin had sent orders to Admiral Termo to return to the Yavin System if the Death Star didn't arrive at Delrakkin at an appointed time. Once in the Yavin System, the Liquidator began searching for the Alliance's hidden base. However, a lone Alliance pilot managed to infitrate the Liquidator and place a time-delayed thermal detonator in her solar ionization chamber. In a few short minutes, the rebel had escaped, and the detonator exlpoded. The Liquidator was utterly destroyed, and it was believed that her entire crew was killed in the explosion.

An athletic young woman, Meera had trained in the martial arts before meeting up with Naja Delan and his band of idealists. Her upbringing on Cularin was far from normal, having grown up as the daughter of wealthy mercantiles who were too busy with work to worry about their daughter.

Following his defeat, Llaban pledged the support of his forces to Teta's war effort, in return for political amnesty. Teta accepted his offer, and later placed him in command of the forces that defended Kirrek in a subsequent battle against the Sith. During this second battle, Llaban's forces were augmented by Jedi Masters Odan-Urr and Ooroo, but the early stages of the battle were marked by Sith advances. Master Ooroo understood that the Sith would eventually overrun Kirrek's forces, he sacrificed himself by releasing the cyanogen gas that kept him alive. This tactic was initially successful, but more Sith reinforcements arrived, pushing Llaban and his forces to the brink of defeat. Salvation came in the form of reinforcements from Ronika, which augmented Llaban's forced and gave them enough strength to finally eliminate the Sith warriors who were arrayed against them. (FOSE)

L'lahsh
This was a distinctive, blue-green alcohol distilled from the nectar of the blossoms of the t'iil plant. Because each t'iil blossom only produced a single droplet of nectar, and because they must be picked by hand, hundreds of thousands of blossoms must be harvested each year to produce a small vintage of l'lahsh. This forced the price of l'lahsh to a high level, especially when sold offplanet. Note that the Star Wars Radio Drama and Star Wars: Rebel Force - Hostage indicate that l'lahsh was a form of food. (E4R, SWJ11, RF2)

Llalik, Loran
This woman, a noted scientist, was married to Nash Llalik. (AIR)

Llalik, Nash
This scientist, an native of Plavin 6, was the father of Nashiak Llalik, and was married to Loran. (AIR)

Llalik, Nashiak
This Imperial engineer was one of the driving forces behind the development of a set of armor which allowed stormtroopers to operate underwater. Born on Plavin 6 to the scientists Nash and Loran Llalik, Nashiak was the older brother of Saren Llalik. In addition to the aquatrooper armor, Nashiak was known as the designer of armor for zero-g stormtroopers (which was based on his original Sunder 9 personal combat armor design), radiation-zone troopers, and the Storm Commandos. He graduated first in his class at the Chandrilan Academy of Sciences, and was a noted member of his local COMPNOR Science group. (AIR)

Llalik, Saren
This woman was a Doctor with a degree in cybernetics, and was one of the leading scientists working for BioTech Industries during the height of the New Order. Doctor Llalik was also an Alliance supporter and informant, using a modified 2-1B droid to duplicate technical data and important information for the Alliance. The droid was modified in such a way that it was unaware that it was copying data to the Alliance, and this secondary programming was buried deeply enough that regular BioTech scans failed to find it. Kena Shont then downloaded the data and transmitted it to a nearby Alliance base. Llalik was one of the primary engineers on the developed of the Aj^6 cyborg construct, and was one of the most respected cybernetic researchers in the galaxy. (CRO)

Llalik Designs
This was the name of Nashiak Llalik's personal business venture, which was started shortly before he devoted all his efforts to the Empire. (AIR)

This hyperspace smuggling route passes through the Torch Nebula and Thuris Sector, in the Outer Rim, before ending at Spice Terminus. (GG9)

Llanmore
This man served as a Commander in the Grand Army of the Republic, serving under General Khamar during the height of the Clone Wars. When Separatist forces began landing on Praesitlyn, Khamar left Commander Llanmore in charge of security at the Intergalactic Communications Center. After the Separatists began jamming all communications, Llanmore was cut off from Khamar, and had to assume he was already dead. He then began planning with Reija Momen for the destruction of equipment and information, to prevent it from falling into enemy hands. (JT)

Ll'awa
This being was on Manaan, researching Rakatan genetics, during the era of the Great Sith War. He had several Rakatan subjects to work on, which had been turned over to him by the Elders. However, these Rakatans were actually disciples of the One, and had been considered expendable by the Elders. (KOTOR)

Llewebum
This large, alien race was characterized by its bumpy skin. The Llewebum joined the New Republic. (TNR)

Llez
This young being was the son of Ambassador Zell of Majoor. Llez was essentially a spoiled brat, who needed constant supervision to ensure he didn't get into trouble. It was for this reason that Ambassador Zell acquired the services of R2-D2 and C-3PO, to serve as tutors and companions for Llez. Llez hated this idea, and planned to break the droids down and sell them for parts. He was always dressed up as the Scarlet Pirate, his favorite character from his favorite holo-series, Space Pirates of the Galaxy. His father thought this was an amusing was to pass time, but failed to realize that Llez had actually become a fan of the real-life pirate known as Reddjak. When Reddjak was captured, Llez stepped in to help free him. However, when Reddjak attacked his father's ambassadorial convoy, Llez was terrified, and couldn't understand how his hero could be so bad. Llez and the droids managed to defeat Reddjak's plasma torpedoes, but they were caught by Reddjak. Llez was held as a hostage when Zell boarded his ship, but Zell managed to knocked the pirate unconscious. It was then that Zell revealed he had once been a Space Ranger, and Llez suddenly found that his own father was a worthy hero to admire. (MDCAR)

Lliandri
This female Twi'lek was a bounty hunter during the height of the New Order. In her youth, Lliandri was captured and enslaved. After being sold to an owner on Ord Mantell, she managed to escape and grew up in the streets. When she was forced to protect herself by shooting a hoodlum with a blaster, she realized that she had a knack for killing, and became a bounty hunter. She eventually joined forces with Tern Ashandrik, and agreed to help him stay hidden in the Trigdale refinery on Seregar. Lliandri lured other bounty hunters to the refinery, where Ashandrik eliminated them when they got lost in the refinery. (ND)

Lliegis'Nevz
This Kian'thar was the only non-native employee of the HyperDive Cantina, located in the Fathoms restaurant on Calamari. A soft-spoken being with a gift for listening, Lliegis'Nevz never seemed to get anger or lose his temper, which he attributed to being "well-centered." These traits made him the perfect bartender, never turning away a customer or their problems. (WSV)

Llim
This was an ancient lantern, used by Ithorian scouts and patrols during the early history of their race. (GCG)

Llim
This was one of the most common male names used by members of the Ithorian race. Although most Ithorian names were not used for a specific meaning, historians found that this name meant "night patrol warden", and was based on the name of an ancient Ithorian lantern. (GCG)

Llitishi
Native to the planet Ord Cestus, this Wroonian male was the director of sales and marketing for the Five Families of Ord Cestus, during the height of the Clone Wars. Llitishi could trace his family line back to a daughter who was born to an ore miner and the son of a murderer. She was behind the plans to add a ten percent surcharge to the price of the JK-series droids the Five Families had promised to Count Dooku and the Separatists. Llitishi had assured the Families that Dooku would agree to the increase if the Families remained committed to supporting the Separatists. Llitishi was killed, along with half her own clan and most members of the Five Families, when the ARC trooper Jangotat infiltrated their secret bunker on the Kibo Plateau and ordered the Nexu to fire on his location. (TCD)

Llleag'Mak
This Kian'thar crimelord was one of Jabba the Hutt's most favored lieutenants. He rose from youth who specialized in extortion to become a Hutt enforcer. He had the ability to read a person and see their greed and self-interest, and used this ability to define his own ethics and morals. He made his way up the ladder in the Hutt criminal empire, often defeating his superiors in violent combat. He had been Jabba's lieutenant for just a year before the Hutt was killed on Tatooine, and Llleag'Mak brought the news of Jabba's death to his immediate superior. Llleag'Mak then killed his superior and began taking over bits and pieces of Jabba's empire. He used intimidation and bribery to gather support, and kept moving to ensure that no one could overtake him. (GG11, GG12)

Lllun
This Kian'thar political faction tried to bring the Kian'thar people into the galactic community, and were constantly at odds with the Iith'lon faction. (GG12)

Llnewe, Deyd
This Imperial Navy Captain dreamed of struggling courageously in battle and earning himself the honor of being recognized by Emperor Palpatine himself. In reality, Llnewe found himself the commander of the customs vessel Vigilant, patrolling the empty wastes of a remote sector of the galaxy. To make matters worse, Llnewe was fooled three times by Han Solo, who was stealing capital ships for sale to the Alliance. (T2)

Lloco
This Sullustan mercenary liked the Firestorm-I missile launcher as a personal weapon. (GUN)

Lloda
This Bothan was a noted underwater spearfisherman during the early years of the New Republic. (GUN)

Llokay
This red-skinned Zabrak was one of three members of his race who were being trained at the Sith Academy on Korriban, during the years leading up to the Battle of Ruusan. Like his sister, Yevra, Llokay's connection to the Dark Side of the Force paled in comparison to that of the other Zabrak, Sirak. Thus, Llokay and Yevra looked up to Sirak as something of a leader. When Sirak was defeated in the lightsaber training ring by Bane, he plotted his own revenge against the human. With Llokay and Yevra's help, he planned to confront Bane whem he returned from the Valley of the Dark Lords. Sirak believed that Githany was also on his side, but she was only working for her own benefit. When Sirak attacked Bane, Llokay remained ready to cut Bane down if he got too close to Sirak. However, after Yevra was killed by the energy that was unleashed by Githany's energy whip, Llokay was caught momentarily off-guard. He screamed in pain when the energy whip caught his eye on its return path, then died when Githany slashed it across his throat. (DBPD)

Llollullion
This Borlovian noble once worked with Booster Terrik, after helping Booster work his way out of debt to a crimelord. In return for Llollulion's help, Booster promised to take the Borlovian as his partner aboard the Starwayman and teach him everything there was to know about flying a starship and being an independent spacer.Llollulion was once incarcerated at the CoCo Penitentiary on Coruscant, but escaped with Dannl Faytonni and Achk Med-Beq just prior to he Battle of Geonosis. (SWJ7, HNN5)

Llom, Ame
This blue-skinned, near-human female was a regular patron of the Outlander Club on Coruscant, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. She was an associate of Hayde Gofai and Sne Wo during this period. (SWI75)

Llon Nebula
This nebula was comprised, not just of gases and molecules, but also of small asteroids and swiftly-moving debris. In addition to these physical bodies, the nebula randomly contracted and expanded, creating atmospheric waves that could crush a starship. These made travel through the Llon Nebula potentially dangerous, and any vessel larger than a small cruiser was advised to reroute around the nebula. (SS1)

Llona
This woman was a native of the planet Coruscant, during the early years of the New Republic. She carried a B22 hold-out blaster for protection. (GUN)

L'loxx, Omin
This man was one of the many officers who served under Zozridor Slayke as a member of Freedom's Sons and Daughters, during the height of the Clone Wars. L'loxx held the rank of Sergeant, and was one of the first of Slayke's soldiers to land on Praesitlyn, after the Separatists took control of the Intergalactic Communications Center. It was on this first mission that L'loxx located Odie Subu and Erk H'Arman, who had barely survived the first wave of the Separatist assault. Later, after Slayke's forces were joined to those of Jedi Master Nejaa Halcyon, L'loxx signed up for scout duty, in an effort to learn about the Separatists' forces and their deployment. (JT)

Lloyn, Pefederan
This woman served the Galactic Alliance as the chairbeing of the GA Finance Council, during the years following the war with the Yuuzhan Vong. When Thrackan Sal-Solo threatened to secede the Corellian System from the GA, Lloyn suddenly sold or traded several of her own corporate properties in exchange for similar holdings in the Kuat System. The fact that many of Lloyn's original properties were located in the Corellian System made many financial pundits wonder if the GA was planning to blockade or attack the Corellians, in an effort to stop Sal-Solo's advances. (LF1)

LLS-3
This landspeeder, developed and manufactured by SoroSuub during the New Order, measured four meters in length and could carry a pilot, up to four passengers, and 50 kilograms of cargo. (GMR5)

Feline in shape, the llwelkyn was known for its heavy, clawed paws and the double horns which sprouted from each side of its skull, just above the ears. The average llwelkyn could grow to lengths of thee meters, and they hunted in packs. Lwlelkyn could detect the presence of operating machinery from several hundred kilometers, and it often drove them into feeding frenzies. (TB, TBSB)

This was the designation of the first Lant Mining Corporation convoy ambushed by the Alliance in Brak Sector. (FBS)

LMCTS-24542
This Lant Mining Corporation testing station was located in Brak Sector during the height of the New Order. Despite the fact that the station produced very little for the corporation, it remained on active duty for many years, earning it the nickname of Futility Station. After management discovered this monicker, it fired a large portion of the working class. Low-level management soon followed, and LMCTS-24542 was eventually abandoned. The Alliance eventually took possession of the station and used it for their own base in Brak Sector. (HAS)

LN-26
This was Adar Tallon's droid, programmed as his majordomo. LN-26 was fitted with a female personality, and had a woman's voice and mannerisms. LN-26 was easily startled. (TM)

Lo
This Mando'a word meant "into." (OWS)

Lo
The meaning of this archaic Zabrak surname was lost over time. (GCG)

Lo, Hat
This noted crimelord worked from a base on the planet Coruscant, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Hat Lo was known more for his overblown opinion of himself than his small criminal empire. He believed that he was the most powerful of the crimelords on Coruscant at the time, but was actually no more than a lackey for the Hutts. His continual self-indulgence angered the Hutts, which forced Hat Lo to maintain a cadre of Codru-Ji bodyguards to protect himself. Whenever he was seen in public, Hat Lo was wearing a bulky suit with an unusual collar that appeared to be more of a chimney, covering his entire neck and skull while allowing him to see. It was believed that the suit's bulk was due to heavy armor padding for protection from possible assassins. (SWDB, SWI75, BF6)

Lo, Kaz
This Kel Dor male was a noted tech specialist during the last years of the Old Republic. Note that the Ultimate Alien Anthology indicates that Kaz Lo was a Zabrak. (SWRPG2, UANT)

Lo choda
This Huttese exclamation translated into Basic as "I mean it!" (E4, GPB)

Loac Campaign
This series of battles was eventually won by the Alliance, due in part to the work of Scandium Team and Dutra Zeneta. (SWJ10)

Load Coded and Shipped
This was the term used to designate any delivery or cargo that had been pre-screened for security purposes, and could therefore be transferred through a spaceport without further inspection. The product entry code stamped on the cargo started with the letters LCS, making it easier to identify cargos that could be transferred without inspection. (LJ9)

Loader Droid
This was a generic term used to describe any fifth-degree droid or automaton that was programmed to load and unload starships and other large vehicles. (FJ1)

Loag
A city in the planet Merisee. (PG)

Loag
A band of cool, calculating, and lethal mercenaries that was almost wiped out by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. The survivors were exiled from the planet Merisee, and remained hidden for decades, awaiting a chance to exact revenge. The name "Loag" comes from a mixture of the Meri and Teltior words for "warrior." They were originally formed when the Old Republic first discovered Merisee, making contact with the Meri and the Teltior during their thousand-year civil war. When the two races realized that they could make thei way in the galaxy better by joining forces, they formed the original Loag. They made their mark on the galaxy as skilled warriors and accomplished assassins, but their confident union eventually grew into an overconfident cult. The Loag began demanding that the more peaceful natives of Merisee bend to the will of the Loag. The Jedi Knights were called in to resolve the situation. It took less than a year for a small group of Jedi to break the Loag into small bands and scatter them. In the wake of their defeat and exile, the natives of Merisee established the Cult of Those Who Redeem in an effort to guard against the return of the Loag. Those Loag who survived the battle went on a variety of suicide missions against the Jedi, and it was believed that they eventually died out. However, it was later discovered that a small group of Loag adherents remained, often working as intermediaries between the Empire and hired mercenaries. (PG3, OE, SWJ14)

Loag Dagger
This ceremonial weapon was one of the primary symbols of the Loag. After the Jedi Knights defeated the Loag, the dagger was supposedly taken to Coruscant for storage in the Galactic Museum. There, it served as a reminder of the Jedis' service to the galaxy. However, in the wake of the Battle of Endor and the establishment of the New Order, the Loag Dagger was reported missing from the museum, and was never found. (SWJ14)

Loak
This plant grows in thick clumps, and it was often planted as a natural windbreak. (POT)

Loan-chat
Manufacturers of starship ejection seats and on-board fire extinguishing systems. (SWSB)

Loathsom, Whorm
This tusk-faced Kerkoiden served as a General in the armed forces of the Separatists, during the height of the Clone Wars. General Loathsom was placed in charge of the forces on the planet Christophsis, and was beaten back by a task force of clone troopers led by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. However, General Loathsom had kept a portion of his droid army hidden from view, and led them into battle as part of a massive counterstrike. General Loathsom waited until the Republic's forces had believed the battle to be over and dispatched several warships on re-supply missions, then launched his attack, catching Kenobi's forces off-guard. However, Kenobi turned the tables on Loathsom, offering his surrender and asking to negotiate the terms of surrender. This gave Skywalker and his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, time to infiltrate Crystal City and shut down the force field generator that protected Loathsom's forces. Loathsom agreed to discuss surrender, but was enraged to learn that it was Kenobi who wanted to discuss the surrender of Loathsom's forces. As the tide of battle turned after the Separatist shield was destroyed, Loathsom was forced to surrender his forces to the Republic. (CWN, CWVG, CWYN)

Lob
Meaning "gift", this name was common among Gungan females. (GCG)

Lob Bomb
This was a generic term used to describe any missile or bomb that was launched from a starship in a parabolic trajectory at a remote target. These projectiles were not required to be self-propelled, as they were used primarily in a planet's atmosphere, where the natural gravity of the planet drew the weapon back to the ground. (BTS)

Loba, LobwuWa
This Aqualish podracer was a popular fan favorite on the planet Tatooine, during the years surrounding the Clone Wars. (BF4)

Lo'baan
This old Twi'lek ran a scrap yard at the Kala'uun Starport for many years before he befriended the youngster known only as Seeker. Together, they established the Junkard at the Starport, and Lo'baan bequeathed the scrapyards to the Seeker upon his death, shortly before the Battle of Yavin. (PSPG)

Lobaoc
This was an Outer Rim planet which was covered with shallow lakes and swamps. There was very little stable landmass, and the one patch of flat, dry ground served as the primary landing area for starships visiting the planet. A small group of human settlers developed a form of aquaculture in the marshes, tending paddies of waterplants and small fish. (WOA16)

Lobaq Station
This was one of the Empire's 752 outposts in the Rolion Sector during the Galactic Civil War. (RASB, OWS)

Lobel
This unusual creature resembles a large, four-legged frog-dog with a single eye attached on a short stalk. There were unique organs within the lobel that produce powerful magnetic fields around the creature, and many pilots claim that the presense of a lobel can significantly alter navigational equipment's performance. (CCG9)

Lobi, Tresina
This female Chev was one of the new generation of Jedi Knights, having learned her control of the Force at Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum, during the early years of the New Republic. She had an innate ability to blend into a crowd, especially crowds of non-humans.

Tresina and her Padawan, Thrynni Vae, were dispatched to Duro to ascertain the role of independent shipping concerns in the decision to allow Duro to become a havne for refugees. Shortly after learning that several key votes in the Duros High House were bought out by independent shipping concerns, Thrynni Vae disappeared. Tresina continued to search for her, but had to return to Coruscant and explain the situation to Luke Skywalker. She also discovered that supplies for various refugee cities were being diverted to Urrdorf.

Tresina was ultimately one of the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. She was promoted to the rank of Jedi Master, and was one of a handful of Jedi who were chosen by Luke Skywalker to sit on the new Jedi Order's leadership council. When Master Skywalker was forced to assume the role of Grand Master, during the height of the Swarm War, Tresina was among the many Jedi who decided to remain with the new Jedi order. Se also traveled to Sarm with Master Skywalker, on the mission to eliminate Lomi Plo and force UnuThul to sever his contact with the Colony.

In the wake of the Swarm War, Tresina Lobi discovered that Jacen Solo was making clandestine excursions to the World Brain that was installed on the planet Coruscant, and decided to follow him. She found herself caught up in one of Jacen's meetings with Lumiya, in Fellowship Plaza, and tried to get a message back to the Jedi Temple. However, she was too caught up in the meeting between Jacen and Lumiya to notice that Alema Rar had snuck up behind her. Lumiya was as surprised as Tresina was by the attack, but nevertheless took up the fight. Confronted by two opponents, one of whom wielded a lightwhip, Tresina was swiftly outmatched. Lumiya used her lightwhip to take off Tresina's legs at the knees, then Alema Rar beheaded the Chev with her lightsaber. Note that Destiny's Way makes reference to Lobi's "long snout", mistakenly identifying her as a Chevin, not a Chev. (BP, DW, UF, DN2, DN3, LF3)

Lobin, Lobis
This Jedi Knight was one of many who served as military leaders in the Grand Army of the Republic, during the era of the Clone Wars. Lobis Lobin was among the many Jedi who were dispatched to defend the planet Falleen from Separatist attack. Unfortunately, word of their mission was leaked to General Grievous, who staged a violent ambush that wiped out the Falleen battle group. All hands, including Lobis Lobin, were killed in the attack. (CWWS)

Lobot
Lobot was born to a slaver, and was learning the trade from his father when they were waylayed by pirates. Lobot was himself taken into slavery, while the pirates killed his father. Lobot managed to escape the pirates, and made his way to Cloud City. He survived there by stealing from the wealthier visitors and residents, until he was caught and convicted. The Administrator-Baroness Ellisa Shallence saw some kind of potential in Lobot, and offered him a choice: a long jail sentence or a lifetime of service to Cloud City. Shallence had long since realized that only a droid or cyborg could efficiently control the outpost's various operations, and gave Lobot the chance to become a cyborg computer liaison. Lobot agreed to become Shallence's cyborg, and was fitted with a Biotech Aj^6 cyborg enhancement. He had a special brain wave enhancer affixed to his head, which increased his intelligence and allowed him to interface directly with the station's central computer. However, the neural implants required by the wrap-around module eroded the speech centers on his brain. This resulted in a speech pattern that contained minimal sentences.

He worked on Cloud City for fifteen years before the Old Republic fell, serving out his sentence in dutiful fashion. He was later freed from his service, but chose to remain on Cloud City, and was named chief administrative aide to the Baron Administrator. He worked with good administrators and bad ones, but he was especially critical of Baron Raynor, who was incompetent and inept. When Lando Calrissian challenged Raynor to a high-stakes sabacc match, Lobot secretly aided Calrissian and helped the rogue win the ownership rights to Cloud City. When Lando proved to be a more than competent administrator, Lobot again threw himself into his work, and even helped manage some of Calrissian's less lawful endeavors.

Following the intervention of Darth Vader and the subsequent loss of the outpost to the Empire, Lobot was left behind on Cloud City to battle the rebellious Ugnaughts who revolted against Imperial rule. The aliens damaged Lobot's external enhancer, which modified some of his memories. When Lando returned to Cloud City, Lobot initially thought he was an intruder. Calrissian repaired the module, and Lobot helped him disarm the bombs placed by the Ugnaughts around the outpost. He later helped Calrissian displace the Imperial forces on the station, but left Calrissian's service when Zorba the Hutt took control of the outpost. He resurfaced a number of years later to work with Lando again, on GemDiver Station. (E5, SA, RPG, EGC, OWS)

Lobster Bisellian
This exotic dish was one of the house specialties of the Imperial restaurant, found on the Kuari Princess. (RM)

Lobsterhead
This alien was stranded in Mos Eisley. (TM, DOE)

LoBue Cantina
A bar and casino in the Abregado-rae spaceport, the LoBue Cantina was located near the Old patch. It had a small frontage, but was surprising large inside, holding a dancefloor, a bar, and a good number of tables. (HTTE, CCW)

Loca
This word entered the Huttese language during the decades following the Swarm War. A disparaging adjective, loca could mean "crazy" or "insane", depending on the context. (SWLC)

Local Dig
This was the name of the settlement established some 500 years before the onset of the Clone Wars by the Archaeological Research Council of Kallidah, on the largest if the asteroids left behind by the destruction of Polis Massa itself. The settlement was built atop the ruins of the city of Wiyentaah, which the Kallidahin spent centuries excavating. Because they spent so much time away from their homeworld, the Kallidahin archaeologists began calling themselves Polis Massans. The entire facility was self-sufficient, with power generators, hydroponics gardens, and communications facilities connected with pressurized tunnels and turbolifts. The scientists working at Local Dig eventually managed to learn the cloning techniques of the Kaminoans, and put this knowledge to work in an effort to recreate an individual of the Eellayin race. It was at the Local Dig facility that Jedi Master Yoda and Senator Bail Organa decided, in the wake of the Clone Wars, to prepare to receive any surviving Jedi Masters. Only Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived, bearing the dying body of Padme' Amidala Skywalker. Padme' gave birth to her twins, Luke and Leia, at the Local Dig medical facility, before she died. (SWDB, SWCL)

Locan
This hulking species of near-humans was native to the planet Loce. They were distinguished by their heavy musculature, purplish-blue skin, and mottled black spots. (AIR)

Locan-u vizzintar kwa-essen?
This Snivvian question meant "What planets have you traveled to?" (HNN5)

Locap
Found only in the deep oceans of the planet Naboo, this strange form of plantlife burrowed into the soft rock of the planet's core and extracted plasma. As the locap digested this plasma, it converted it into a safe form of energy. The Gungans learned how to obtain the digested plasma from the locap and used it to power their underwater cities and their shield generators. The locap plant could grow to incredible sizes, and the Gungans often built their bubble cities along the branches of individual locap growths. The harvest of locap for its plasma was a millennia-old activity, and the ancient Mandalorian warriors literally fed locap plasma to their Basilisk war droids, along with raw narcolethe. (IWE1, SON, NEGD)

Locara
This woman served as the chief of security for the owners of the Cavalier Club, during the height of the New Order. She known for her use of a power cane to make her point with her opponents. (GFT)

Locate and Detain List
This list of criminals and insurgents was maintained by Emperor Palpatine as one of the many "temporary security measures" that were instituted to ensure the safety and security of the Galactic Empire, shortly after the end of the Clone Wars. The Locate and Detain List was one of the handful of these measures that remained in effect well after the initial "threat" of the Jedi Order was extinguished, especially after the rebel Alliance scored its victory at the Battle of Yavin. The list contained the names of those beings who were supposedly acting to subvert the security of the Empire, and COMPNOR was charged with overseeing the detention of any being who was captured. One of the many side effects of the list was that people began turning in their neighbors, claiming that they were actually criminals in disguise. Many times, these beings were actually working for the Empire to further subvert the populace, so COMPNOR had to be careful with the way in which they handled such cases. (LCSB)

Location Confounder
This device was essentially a combination of a holoprojector and a personal cloaking device. By using this device, a being could alter their appearance and make it appear as if they were step or two ahead or behind their actual position. This helped to prevent snipers from getting a targetting lock on their actualy position. (CN1)

Location Forbidder
This security device worked with a scanning unit to determine an individual's ability to access a room or location. A transmitter was placed in the person's uniform or clothing, and contained a coded datafile with information on the individual's security clearance. The scanner could read the datafile on the transmitter, and would only open the access to a given room if the clearance was high enough. (POM)

Locational Enforcement
This was the name used to describe the undercover agents and forensics experts who worked alongside the Corporate Sector Authority's Espos.

Locator Chip
This special chip was developed for use in prisons, and was implanted in the neck or body of a prisoner who was brought into the prison for holding. The locator chip was used to keep tabs on the prisoner's location within the prison facility. It could also be sent a unique signal that caused the locator chip to explode, in case a prisoner needed to be subdued or eliminated during a riot or an escape. These chips were essentially modern versions of the chips used by slavers and slave owners to keep their slaves from escaping. (LF9)

Locator Plug
Similar to a locator ring, a locator plug allowed a police force to monitor the location and movements of a specific droid. The locator plug could be attached like a restraining bolt, and later removed if the droid was found to be free of any criminal activities. Also know as a restraint plug, a locator plug also served to limit a droid's ability to move beyond a certain location, ensuring that the droid did not escape. (CN2)

Locator Ring
Similar to a locator chip in function, a locator ring was a band that could be temporarily worn on a being's finger. This allowed a police force to track the being's whereabouts and their movements during an investigation. Unlike a locator chip, however, the locator ring could be easily removed if an individual was later deemed to be free of guilt. (CN2)

Locb, Cunbus
Tihs disreputable Sullustan was known as a gambler with a penchant for fine art. His personal ship, the Distant Wind, was decorated with the finest sculptures and holopainting. When he discovered that Imperial Moff Ammar possessed the Stars and Moons flatsculpt, Locb arranged to cheat Ammar out of the artwork in a round of sabacc. When Ammar learned that he had been swindled, he initiated an all-out search for Locb. In the end, Locb was cornered and then killed in a firefight. No sign of the Stars and Moons was ever found, on Locb himself or inside the Distant Wind. This was because Locb had stashed the artwork in a secret compartment, and Ammar's forces failed to discover it. In a strange twist of fate, Ammar put the Distant Wind up for auction, with the Stars and Moons still hidden inside. (SS)

Loccin
This man served the Galactic Alliance military as a sensor officer, during the years following the Swarm War.

Lochett, Uldir
This man was the owner of the No Luck Required, during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. As a child, Uldir was raised on a number of different worlds by his parents, who were Coruscant-based traders and freighter pilots who often worked for the New Republic. He showed no sensitivity to the Force whatsoever, but he was allowed to attend the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 anyway after he stowed away aboard the Lightning Rod. Luke Skywalker agreed to let him stay after he developed a friendship with Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila. Despite Master Skywalker's inability to identify any senstivity to the Force, Uldir maintained that all he needed were a lightsaber and some Jedi robes to help him get started. His studies were cut off when he began causing too much trouble at the academy, and he took up work as a member of the search and rescue teams that formed during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He served with Dacholder aboard the Pride of Thela, until they tried to rescue the Winning Hand. It was then that Uldir discovered that Dacholder was also a member of the Peace Brigade who had arranged to turn Uldir over to the Yuuzhan Vong who were aboard the Winning Hand. Uldir, however, was not dumb enough to simply fall for the action. When Dacholder was ready to make the transfer, Uldir operated an emergency airlock he had installed on the Pride of Thela, forcing Dacholder out into space. Uldir then fled the area with the Pride of Thela. He decided to leave the Corps and strike out on his own, but continued to devote his life to rescuing Jedi from the Yuuzhan Vong. He and the rest of his crew on the No Luck Required traveled to Bonadan, where they laid low for a while. It was there that Uldir first met Klin-Fa Gi, while she was trying to escape the local authorites. He later discovered that Klin-Fa Gi had gone rogue, when Luke Skywalker personally asked Uldir to retrieve her. The crew managed to apprehend Gi, but she escaped and fled to Wayland. Uldir and his crew managed to repair the No Luck Required and make it to Wayland, where they were beset by a Yuuzhan Vong corvette analog. Uldir took the ship's modified A-Wing to the planet's surface, drawing off pursuit to allow his crew to escape. Once on Wayland, he tracked down Gi in the forest with the help of Txer and the Free People. After discovering that the Yuuzhan Vong were turning Wayland into a strange sort of garden, Uldir was able to locate Klin-Fa. They were forced to defend themselves against the attack of a Chom-Vrone in order to survive, and eventually recovered a qhasa which held the Yuuzhan Vong's plans on destroying bacta production on Thyferra. They traveled to Thyferra at top speed after rescuing Bey Gandan, only to discover that Bey was the delivery mechanism for the virus which could wipe out the alazhi trees. Uldir and Klin-Fa fought valiantly against the former Jedi, until Uldir found himself with Klin-Fa's lightsaber. He threw the weapon at Bey, but Bey used the Force to push it away. His concentration was on Klin-Fa, however, and the lightsaber hit a tree and sliced him in half. Uldir and Klin-Fa then worked to eliminate any trace of the alazhi virus before getting a well-deserved vacation from Luke Skywalker himself. The pair then gave into the emotions, and began to fall in love. (EVC, ECH, GMR10, EOV, SWI63, SWI64, KB, AQ)

Lock and his clones were then assigned to Jedi Master Ring-Sol Ambase, who had been askde by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to investigate the appearance of KynachTech Industries circuitry aboard the Malevolence. When their task force arrived at Kynachi, it was immediately attacked by the Separatist forces that were blockading the planet, and although Lock was injured in the assault, he managed to make it to an escape pod. Note that Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Secret Mission #1 - Breakout Squad indicates that Lock sacrificed his own life to save the other clones. Months later, Lock and his squad were assigned to Jedi Master Eeth Koth. When their cruiser was attacked in the Outer Rim by General Grievous, Captain Lock and his fellow clones fought valiantly to prevent Grievous and his droids from boarding the cruiser. However, the droids were too numerous for the clones to handle, and Lock and his men were quickly cut down. This allowed Grievous to capture Master Koth and take him prisoner. (CWTV31, SM1)

Unknown to most onboard the ship, Lofryyhn was a master of the Wookiee marital art known as Wrruushi. He enjoyed working with the crew and the ship, but the constant need for repairs to the ship soon wore him down. When he learned that Gorak Khzam was a former slaver, he became angry that the Rodian was allowed to escape. On top of this frustration, Lofryyhn found himself at odds with the prisoners rescued from Q'Maere, who felt he was too strict a taskmaster. After the ship was plunged into mutiny by Lowen Chase, Lofryyhn was instrumental in gaining access to Engineering and Environmental Control, allowing the crew of the FarStar to retake the ship.

Lo'gaan, Drake
This young Jedi Padawan was being trained by Jedi Master Roron Corobb during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. They were part of the task force that was dispatched to protect Chancellor Palpatine when General Grievous launched his attack on Coruscant. Unfortunately, Grievous was able to kill both Master Corobb and Master Foul Moudama before taking Palpatine hostage, leaving Drake disconsolate and directionless.

After the First Battle of Coruscant, Drake learned that a mission was being formed to go after Grievous. He approached Anakin Skywalker about joining the mission, hoping to avenge the death of his Master. Anakin explained that only Obi-Wan Kenobi had been sent after Grievous. Meanwhile, Drake and Ekria were both assigned to the mission led by Aayla Secura to Felucia. It was on Felucia that Ekria intercepted the communication of Order 66, but was unable to decrypt it before Commander Bly received it an acted on it.

After escaping from Felucia, Ekria, Zonder, and Drake returned to Coruscant as refugees, then slipped into the Jedi Temple. There, Ekria erased all information on them from the computer banks of the Jedi Archives, allowing them to continue to operate undercover. Then, while trying to blend in, Drake and Zonder tried to get normal jobs. However, they were split up when Zonder was assigned to a work crew, and Drake - posing as Jodd Sonta - was taken to a meeting of COMPNOR. At the meeting, Drake found himself listening to an early speech from High Inquisitor Tremayne, and was stunned to find out how easy it was to slip into his pro-Imperial disguise. He was also surprised at how easily he was attracted to Onnelly Praji, one of the young aristos who was traveling to the Emerald Splendor Estates on Byss.

After the meeting, Tremayne singled out Drake for investigation, when his background story didn't check out. Drake was unaware of the attention he had attracted, until he discovered that Zonder had been assigned to a non-human work detail that was to be eliminated. He set out to rescue his friend, blowing his cover and alerting the Imperial authorities to his presence on Coruscant. When he was confronted by Tremayne, however, Drake was not immediately captured and sent to prison. Instead, Tremayne offered Drake a chance to join him, and be trained in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force. Drake refused, and eventually rescued Ekria and Zonder before their transport could be destroyed.

However, they were forced to go underground again, to avoid being detected by Tremayne or any of the other Inquisitors. They briefly emerged to help Kodo Finn avoid trouble with the Black Sun organization, with Drake appealing directly Prince Xizor for leniency. The Jedi convinced Xizor to let Finn go free, in exchange for information on the shipping schedules of TaggeCo. Unknown to the Jedi, Xizor already had this information, and was planning to use the knowledge of their existence for his own personal gain.

After the encounter with Xizor, Zonder was captured and brought before Darth Vader, who challenged the Selonian to a duel. Using Zonder's comlink frequency, Vader transmitted a recording of the duel to Drake and Ekria, who were forced to watch their fellow Padawan beheaded by the Dark Lord. They set out to avenge Zonder's death, but were immediately beset by Imperial troopers. Drake allowed Ekria to get free as he confronted Vader himself, and was surprised to learn that the Sith Lord knew his name, being unaware of Vader's true heritage. Drake then refused Vader's offer to join the Sith, and took up his lightsaber to defend himself. However, his focus on Vader meant that Drake did not see the clone trooper behind him, and a blaster bolt caught him by surprise. Tired of the game, Vader then picked up Drak'es lightsaber and pierced Drake's chest with his lightsaber, apparently putting an end to Drake's life.

However, Drake's lightsaber was merely a training blade, and lacked enough power to actually kill him. The wound was convincing enough, however, as Vader left his body behind to die. Once Vader was gone, Drake managed to slipi away anf rejoin Ekria. Tigether, they recovered Zonder's body and returned it Selonia for burial. After a check of the Imperial databases revealed that they were listed as deceased, Drake and Ekria abandoned their Jedi past and set off on their own. (ROF, EAR, EAP, EAEG)

AS a youth, Logray was enslaved by Morag, but he was able to learn from her during this time, and retained many of her secrets after he was freed. This meant that, in later life, Logray was suspicious of anyone who was not a member of his tribe, and especially non-Ewoks. He also was the Ewok who cared for the Ancient Tokens of the Ewok Heroes, and bestowed them upon Deej, his sons, and the Towani children when the set out to rescue Jeremitt and Catarine from the Gorax. However, Logray was something of a bully, and he was denounced when he banished Wicket from Bright Tree Village for questioning one of his commandments. Logray was replaced by Paploo, on the orders of Chief Chirpa, and his name was removed from the village's songs of remembrance. To the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village, it was as if Logray had never existed. (E6, EA, CCG10, SWDB, E6Y, SWI110)

Lohjoy
This female Ho'Din served as the chief engineer aboard the starship Omen, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Unlike the other Sith who served aboard the ship, Lohjoy was not prone to emotional outbursts, but that changed when the ship experienced a cascade of problems that led to the crash-landing on the planet Kesh.

(LTS1)

Loh'khar
This Twi'lek was a supporter of the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. He claimed to be a former slave who escapde from captivity on his homeworld of Ryloth and set out on his own, becoming an independent spacer. Many believed that he had actually fled Ryloth in order to escape a conspiracy against him. Loh'khar arranged to transport Alliance operatives from Kelada to Gelgelar. He eventually became a member of the crew of the FarStar, during its search for Moff Sarne. He had been on Kal'Shebbol when Page's Commandos launched their assault on Moff Sarne's stronghold, and shot down Loh'khar's ship by accident. Loh'khar joined the crew for two reasons: to get his ship repaired, and to exact a measure of revenge on Sarne. Loh'khar always wore a heavy cloak which was filled with pockets, and the pockets were always full of small tools and datacards full of information. Loh'khar always travelled with the three Turazza sisters, Nizzal, Rizzal, and Vizzal, whom he had raised since they hatched from their eggs while he was visiting Galliwig's Cantina. When Nizzal defected with Khzam, Loh'khar felt betrayed and hurt. However, much of this was a facade used to cover his plans to defect from the FarStar, which he had developed with Gorak Khzam. The two aliens planned to discovered the source of the DarkStryder artifact and sell it to the highest bidder, splitting the profits with Khzam. To this end, Loh'khar took possession of a battered YT-1300 freighter at Q'Maere and ordered Cobb Unser to get it spaceworthy again. However, their efforts were ultimately thwarted, and Loh'khar disappeared. (SWJ6, DARK, KO, KR)

After Yolan Bren surrendered himself to Boba Fett, Lol led a group of rebels to Governor Malvander's palace in G'ai Solem to try and free him. Their mission was successful, primarily because Malvander had spread his forces too thin, and the token security force in G'ai Solem was no match for any organized resistance. Lol and Ardal wanted to kill Malvander outright, but Yolan Bren decided to bring his brother with them, forcing the Governor to see what he had done to his people. (SWES)

Lomabu III
This plant, the third of six wildly-orbiting worlds in the Lomabu System, was chosen by the Empire as a penal colony. It was located close to the Imperially-controlled system of Aida. A group of several hundred Wookiees was imprisoned here at the time of the Battle of Hoth, a fact which Tinian I'att and Chenlambec used to lure Bossk into a trap. The Wookiees on Kashyyyk provided the coordinates of the planet to them, in order to get Bossk to chase Han Solo there. An oceanic world with several long chains of archipelagic islands, Lomabu III was chosen for its unusual sandy beaches. The sand was actually a ravenous form of carnivore that swarms around anything that walks on it, eating away immediately upon contact. The tiny creatures move about by waving tiny flagella, and their motion appears wave-like. Tinian and Chen were able to rescue the Wookiees imprisoned there by making the local Imperial Governor, Io Desnand, believe Bossk was at Lomabu III to poach Wookiee pelts. Once Bossk was captured, they shipped the 593 Wookiees off-planet in the Hound's Tooth. Lomabu III had a single moon. (TBH)

Lommite
A chalky ore once thought to be found exclusively on Elom, it was one of the primary components used in making transparisteel, durasteel, and dura-armor. In ancient times, sculptors used huge blocks of lommite to create wondrous works of art. Several decades before the Battle of Naboo, the Videnda sector planet Dorvalla was discovered to be incredibly rich in lommite deposits, and it was heavily mined by both Lommite Limited and InterGalactic Ores. Several years after the Battle of Endor, Warlord Zsinj's forces discovered another source, on the moon Koratas. (DA, CTD, DMS, DBPD)

Lommite Limited
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. LL found itself being bullied out of the business by its rival, InterGalactic Ores, 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. Jurnel Arrant, CEO of Lommite Limited, was forced to merge his small company with InterGalactic Ores, then he turned over control of Dorvalla to the Trade Federation. The new corporation was called Dorvalla Mining. (DMS)

LOM-series Protocol Droid
This series of protocol droids was produced by Industrial Automaton, in an effort to break into the huge protocol market held by Cybot Galactica and the 3PO series. Industrial Automaton believed that finding an initial niche would be important, but worked to avoid a failure similar to that of the PD-series. Instead, the LOM-series protocol droid was targetted for sale among the various insectile races of the galaxy, without specific physical cues that would limit or offend a specific race. Internally, however, many systems were designed for use across the wider range of humanoid races. Because Industrial Automaton used an AA-1 verbobrain and a TranLang III communications module in the manufacture of the LOM series, Cybot Galactica sued IA for copyright infringement and a variety of other crimes. Further production of the LOM series was put on hold until the lawsuits could be resolved, but any legal resolution was later deemed unnecessary when the droid designated as 4-LOM abandoned its post aboard the Kuari Princess and became a notorious bounty hunter. Cybot Galactica quickly pointed out the "poor quality" of the LOM-series droids, but the public outcry resulted in a huge drop in LOM sales. Industrial Automaton halted production of the LOM-series droid shortly afterward. (EGD, NEGD)

After Rrurrfhurra's death, one of his protocol droids - K-27 - revealed that Lonarr had arrived on Kashyyyk from the colony world of Dosha, and maintained a group of six Trandoshan bodyguards. Further investigation revealed that Lonarr had a burgeoning hatred for Wookiees in general, a hatred that bloomed during a stay on Dosha. He had been hired by the Trandoshan government to smuggle Trandoshan hunters onto Kashyyyk, despite the prevailing laws of the Old Republic. He was eventually caught and held for questioning, and was forced to accept Wookiee justice for his crimes. (GMR4)

Lone Scout-A
This series of civilian scout vessels was manufactured by Sienar Ships, after the Empire stopped production of the TIE/sr. Note that the Star Wars Databank indicates tha the Lone Scout-A was produced by Santhe/Sienar Technologies. Based on the designs of the TIE/sr, these scout ship measured 24 meters in length, and were designed for a single pilot. This limited the ship's ability carry out its intended mission, since the pilot was constantly engaged in monitoring ship's functions, and often had little time to evaluate sensor data. Like its predecessor, the Lone Scout-A was given minimal shielding and a single, forward-mounted laser cannon, and it had significantly more cargo space that the standard TIE design. (RPG, SWDB)

Lone Scout-A 2
This was the second generation of Seinar Fleet Systems' standard scout ship. Note that the Star Wars Databank indicates that the Lone Scout-A 2 was produced by Santhe/Sienar Technologies. Like the Lone Scout-A, this ship measured 24 meters in length and was armed with a single laser cannon. The LSA-2 featured an improved hyperdrive and a deep-scan sensor array, and had room for three passengers. Unlike many other Seinar designs, the Lone Scout-A 2 found wide acceptance in the New Republic, primarily in the New Republic Scout Service. (GG8, SWDB)

The establishment was run by the Quarren Kruluk. (DU)

Long Engagement Zone
This was the military term used by naval officers and tacticians to describe the outermost region of a capital ship's firing arcs. Most starship captains chose to engage the enemy's support ships at this range, using long-range missiles and turbolasers to destroy supply ships and other support vessels before the main fleet could be engaged. In this way, a defending captain could limit the enemy's ability to penetrate deeper into their defensive zone, preventing major damage to their own vessel. (RASB)

Long Run
This BD-27 Corellian barge driver was owned and operated by Boo Rawl. Rawl had made several modifications to the ship himself, beefing up the shields and removing passenger space in exchange for space to add a turbolaser housing.

In order to earn this award, a Rodian bounty hunter had to demonstrate incredible persistence in tracking down their quarry. The individual who received this award was often ridiculed by their non-Rodian counterparts, since it was known that many Rodian bounty hunters tended to "pad" their hunts by allowing a target to commit more crimes or cause more trouble, thereby raising the value of the bounty, before making the capture. (NEGA)

Native to Kharzet III, these creatures were true quadripeds, and possessed a long, flexible neck. The appellation of gundark came from Kimdyara's note, in which he compared the temperment of this creature to that of a gundark. Unfortunately, Kimdyara died before he could report on his findings and give the creatures a proper name.

The long-necked gundark was distinguished by its flat head, which had two large lobes that contain the ears, and their puckered mouths contained a long tongue.

(DN3)

Longo
This was a measurement of velocity used by the Gungans. (GMR4)

Longo, Kale
This young man, along with his younger brother Trig and their father, Von, were among the prisoners who were captured by the Empire for suspected rebel activities on their homeworld of Cimarosa, more than a year before the Battle of Yavin. They were placed aboard the prison barge Purge for transport to a penal colony, and found themselves struggling to survive. Von had made a deal with Sixtus Cleft to gain a measure of safety from the gangs of thugs that formed among the general population of prisoners, but he died before sealing the deal with Cleft. Kale decided to follow up with the deal, in order to protect himself and Trig, but they found that Sixtus had been murdered by Aur Myss. Myss confronted the boys, but Kale refused to be bullied. In order to make an escape, he reached out and yanked Myss' lower lip from his face. Although the brothers managed to escape, Aur Myss placed a ten-thousand-credit bounty on their heads, knowing that one of the prisoners would eventually turn them in.

When the Purge experienced engine trouble and a repair crew was dispatched to a derelict ship to salvage parts, they brought back with them a strange contagion that swept through the ship. Within hours, prisoners and officers alike were dying from the infection, although Trig and Kale seemed to be immune. Without someone to monitor them, the locks on the detention cell bars were opened, and Myss made his move to kill the brothers. He attacked Kale first, giving Trig on opportunity to eliminate the Delphanian by strangling him. Myss, who seemed to have been infected, whirled around and grabbed Trig, but this allowed Kale to pick up a knife and stab Myss in the skull. After discovering that it had been ICO Wembly who had opened the cells, in order to give any survivors a chance to get free, Trig and Kale made their way out into the Gen Pop area of the barge. They were surprised by Captain Jareth Sartoris, who was believed to have been involved in the death of Von Longo. Sartoris gave them a sneer before sealing himself in the only operating escape pod. The idea of escaping became more important after the brothers met up with the other survivors, Zahara Cody and two prisoners, Han Solo and Chewbacca. Unfortunately, Sartoris had overridden the hatches on the escape pods, so Cody went to the bridge to try and release them.

Solo and the Wookiee went with Doctor Cody, leaving Trig and Kale to monitor the escape pods. Kale thought he heard something in the corridor near them, and set out to determine what had made the noise. When he returned, Kale found that Trig had been attacked by something that had come out of the escape pods. The brothers then tried to reach Doctor Cody and the others on the bridge, but were confronted by the re-animated corpse of their father. Trig was rescued by Solo and Chewbacca, but Kale was too stunned to move. Another corpse grabbed him by the leg and inflicted a deep gash, and the combination of pain and confusion forced Kale to faint. He came to in the infirmary, where Cody was treating the injury to his leg. Kale pleaded with Cody to amputate the leg, not because of any pain, but because he could sense something growing within the wound and trying to move through the rest of his body. When Cody refused to act, Kale removed the bandages and showed her what was happening. The contagion was reproducing rapidly, taking over the flesh of his leg and moving up toward his waist and hips. Cody then made an incision in Kale's abdomen, and began removing lumps of diseased flesh in an attempt to eliminate the contagion from his body.

In the meantime, the group made their way to the derelict Star Destroyer, in an attempt to discover what was happening and make their escape. Cody carried Kale as best she could, but her slow progress meant that a group of re-animated bodies could catch up to them. The undead had learned to use weapons, and began firing at them. Unfortunately, one of the blasts hit Kale squarely in the face, taking out half of his skull and killing him instantly. Cody was forced to drop his body and run for her life, but the contagion eventually killed and then re-animated Kale's body. Trig soon caught sight of Kale and tried to follow him, unware that Kale had been taken over the by contagion. Kale then tried to attack his former brother and infect him, but Trig managed to wrestle his body to a ventilation shaft and throw it down the vent, where Kale's body was torn apart. (SWDT)

Longo, Trig
A native of the planet Cimarosa, this young man, along with his older brother Kale and their father, Von, were among the prisoners who were captured by the Empire for suspected rebel activities, more than a year before the Battle of Yavin. At nearly fourteen years old, Trig felt that he might never become the strong-willed individual his brother was. Thus, he was surprised when, with his dying breaths, his father asked him to watch out for his brother. Trig immediately said that he would, but had no idea what his father meant, and wondered if Von had been unaware of who he was talking with at the time. Trig and Kale kept to themselves as much as possible after their father's death, although Kale tried to gain them some security by striking a deal with Sixtus Cleft. Unfortunately, Cleft was murdered by his boss, Aur Myss, leaving the brothers at the mercy of the Face Gang. Kale refused to be bullied, and ripped out several of the facial piercings that cover the face of Aur Myss, earning them both a ten-thousand-credit bounty for their capture. The boys were able to escape from the Face Gang, but Myss placed a ten-thousand-credit bounty on their heads, and found a way to move into a cell next to the Longo brothers.

When the Purge experienced engine trouble and a repair crew was dispatched to a derelict ship to salvage parts, they brought back with them a strange contagion that swept through the ship. Within hours, prisoners and officers alike were dying from the infection, although Trig and Kale seemed to be immune. Without someone to monitor them, the locks on the detention cell bars were opened, and Myss made his move to kill the brothers. He attacked Kale first, giving Trig on opportunity to eliminate the Delphanian by strangling him. Myss, who seemed to have been infected, whirled around and grabbed Trig, but this allowed Kale to pick up a knife and stab Myss in the skull. After discovering that it had been ICO Wembly who had opened the cells, in order to give any survivors a chance to get free, Trig and Kale made their way out into the Gen Pop area of the barge. They were surprised by Captain Jareth Sartoris, who was believed to have been involved in the death of Von Longo. Sartoris gave them a sneer before sealing himself in the only operating escape pod. The idea of escaping became more important after the brothers met up with the other survivors, Zahara Cody and two prisoners, Han Solo and Chewbacca. Unfortunately, Sartoris had overridden the hatches on the escape pods, so Cody went to the bridge to try and release them. It was then that Trig realized that, despite the fact that the contagion had killed everyone else onboard, there were no dead bodies to be found.

Just as Cody was set to open the escape pods, Trig realized that something was inside the pod, scratching to get out. The creature leapt from the escape pod and attacked Trig, but he was able to fend the creature off and find a hiding space. Kale found him a short time later, and the brothers tried to make their way back to the others. Unfortunately, they were confronted by the re-animated corpse of their father, which tried to attack them. Solo managed to grab Trig and pull him to safety, but Kale was injured when another re-animated corpse cut his leg open. Cody tried to remove the contagion as best she could, but she was unsure if she had eliminated it completed. In the meantime, the group made their way to the derelict Star Destroyer, in an attempt to discover what was happening and make their escape. Unknown to Trig, Kale was killed when a group of re-animated corpses attacked him and Doctor Cody. Thus, when he saw Kale disappear into a chamber, Trig tried to follow him. Trig found himself inside a room that was filled with mangled body parts, and was confronted by several re-animated corpses that were feeding on the flesh. He managed to escape from these corpses, but was confronted by Kale's dead body. Kale tried to attack his former brother and infect him, but Trig managed to wrestle Kale's body to a ventilation shaft and throw it into the vent, where it was torn apart.

Trig thought that his problems were over, until he was confronted by the shambling corpse of Aur Myss. Myss managed to drag Trig off a ledge overlooking the ventilation shaft, and they would have falled into a group of other corpses if Jareth Sartoris hadn't swept in with a hovercraft. Trig landed on the small vehicle with a thud, dislodging Myss and sending the Delphanian to his second death. Sartoris was accompanied by Han Solo and Chewbacca, but refused to stay with them. Instead, he ordered Trig to fly the hovercraft to the Star Destroyer's hangar bay and locate a young officer named White, before escaping from the ship. Sartoris then told Trig that Von Longo had been a good many, before jumping off the vehicle in an attempt to kill himself. The three of them were later reunited with Doctor Cody, and they found the shuttle Sartoris had told them about. White had been killed while saving Doctor Cody, leaving just four survivors from both ships. After making their escape and returning to the galactic community, Trig and Cody remained together, and traveled to various worlds to deliver the final messages from crew members that Cody had found aboard the Purge. (SWDT)

Longo, Von
This man and his two sons, Kale and Trig, were arrested by Imperial forces on their homeworld of Cimarosa and charged with being rebel agents, more than a year before the Battle of Yavin. Von, distinguished by his intense blue eyes, was an aging man who wanted nothing but the best for his family. He was known as an excellent chef to his family, and often spent a good deal of time preparing hearty breakfast meals. Much of his life was spent on the fringes of the galaxy, working among thieves and counterfeiters to buy and sell contraband. However, whenever he was home, Von made sure to spend as much time with his sons. He passed on much of his practical knowledge about how the galaxy worked, hoping to give them the skills and smarts they needed to survive, regardles of which government was in power. This did not stop the Empire from throwing them into prison, then transporting them to a penal colony aboard the prison barge Purge. In the weeks that followed, Von did his best to make sure that his sons were as safe as possible, and had planned to cut a deal with Sixtus Cleft when he was sent to the infirmary. What happened at the infirmary was unclear, but Jareth Sartoris was implicated in Von's eventual death, following a statement from Doctor Zahara Cody. His body was kept in the simple morgue aboard the ship, pending an investigation when the crew arrived at Detention Moon Gradient Seven, but the Purge experienced engine problem and was stranded in the Unknown Regions. An attempt to salvage parts from a derelict Star Destroyer led to the infection of the entire population of the Purge, and the strange contagion eventually reached Von Longo's dead body. The contagion entered his body and began to reproduce, and eventually was able to re-animated the body. Von's corpse began to move about the ship, and soon encountered his son Kale. Kale was stunned by the sudden appearance of his dead father, which allowed another re-animated corpse to infect Kale by attacking his leg. (SWDT)

Longo Tello
This Gungan phrase translated loosely into Basic as "a long story". (E1, CWOC1)

Longprow Cruiser
This fast, maneuverable cruiser was often found in pirate fleets, during the last years of the Old Republic. (HNN4)

Long-range Turbolaser
This form of turbolaser was developed by the Galactic Alliance's military, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. The primary advantage to these weapons was the fact that the powerful blast of coherent energy maintained it cohesiveness and strength over a vast distance, rather than dissipating. This allowed the Galactic Alliance's capital ships to engage enemy forces at longer ranges, rather than waiting until both forces were within firing distance of each other.

This technology was stolen by The Confederation sometime during the Corellia-GA War, although it took The Confederation several months to manufacture enough of them to be useful. (LF6)

Longrunner
This starship held the claim of being the very first Kazellis Light Freighter ever to roll of the production line. It served as Kazellis' primary demo model, and was upgraded with a Class-1 hyperdrive. When the corporation was nationalized by the Empire, the Longrunner was then stolen from the yard by Duan Zorn, who used the ship as a trading vessel. When he was unable to pay the port fees on Nigel III, Zorn was imprisoned on two counts - starship theft and failure to pay his fees - and the Longrunner was auctioned off to Dav Kathis. Shortly after the sale, Kathis disappeared, and his wife, Leanna Carella, took over the shipping business and ran the Longrunner. (SS)

Longshorebot
This was a generic term used to describe any automaton that was programmed to load and unload starships and other transport vessels. (LCM)

Longshot
Han Solo used this false identity for the Millennium Falcon during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The transponder data that accompanied the Longshot indicated that she was a cruiser, further disguising the ship from unwanted spies. He later reused the alias more than ten years later, when the Solo family traveled to Hapes to warn Tenel Ka of an assassination attempt on her life. The Longshot false transponder codes were also used when Han and Leia agreed to transport several ailing Jedi Knights to a secret base on Shedu Maad, during the years that followed the end of the Second Galactic Civil War, after Chief of State Natasi Daala threatened to encased any affected Jedi in carbonite. (SBS, DN1, LF3, FJ3)

Longspar, Gideon
This immense, squared-headed man was the leader of the water-stealing brigands who worked on the planet Beheboth, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Longspar had made a deal with the Empire, supplying them with water while gaining control of the planet Beheboth. Gideon used the contained essense of the Tirrith to subdue the moisture farmers, then stole their water while they were unconscious. When Longspar was defeated by Luke Skywalker in combat, Darial Anglethorn was able to destroy the water-holding tanks, restoring Beheboth's trapped water supply. (LTA3, MC66)

This was a Fabritech long-range sensor array. (HAS)

Longwind
This planet was originally settled by criminals who had been released after serving their sentences in the prisons of the Old Republic, some 75 years before the Battle of Yavin. The planet emerged as the textile center of Trax Sector, and a thriving agricultural system also contributed to its economy. The Alliance established its alternate command base on Longwind during the Galactic Civil War. (GMK)

Lonjair
This alien race was native to three star systems in the South Arm of the galaxy. Shy and self-centered, Lonjairs preferred to live in relative isolation from the rest of the galaxy, and so any encounter with one was regarded as unusual. The average Lonjair stood barely a half-meter in height, and was distinguished by its indigo skin and the crest of pale, blue hair that covered its skull. Lonjairs also had four eyes, which were usually a bright turquoise in color. (CN2)

Lonka

Lonnaw
This planet, located in the Droma Sector of the galaxy, was the first stopping point on the shake-down flight of Outbound Flight after it left Yaga Minor, some five years after the Battle of Naboo. (OF)

Lonnel, Seer
This Ugnaught was imprisoned at the Oovo IV prison facility for a number of crimes, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He became one of the Helmet Squad's most reliable snitches, providing inside information on his fellow inmates in exchange for certain amenities. Because of this, the Dug crimelord Sebolto issued a bounty for his capture, in case Lonnel was ever released from prison. Lonnel thought he was safe behind bars and the relative protection of the Helmet Squad, until Jango Fett infiltrated the Oovo IV facility to "rescue" Bendix Fust. During the attempt, Jango managed to claim the bounty on Lonnel. (BH)

Loo, Tukker Val
This Roonan Jedi Knight was among the many who were forced into military duty, during the height of the Clone Wars. (CWTV31)

Loof, Kathos
This man was in charge of the miners who were working in the Graveyard of Alderaan before the Empire moved into the area and drove them off. Despite his disgruntlement at having the Empire take control of the mining operations, Loof remained staunchly pro-Imperial, and was decidedly evasive when a team of Alliance agents arrived at Mining Outpost 11 to investigate the rumors of the Royal Palace of Alderaan inside Asteroid 7785. (GA)

Loof, Trammis
This man was the son of Kathos Loof, and served the Imperial Army during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was stationed on Coruscant shortly before the Battle of Hoth. (GA)

Loogg, Thurm
This Caarite was the primary envoy sent by the Metatheran Cartel to the planet Cularin, some time before the Battle of Naboo. Thurm was known as a being who would beg, borrow, or steal whatever he needed in order to favor his own interests, and he was not above killing - or having someone else kill for him - in order to get what he wanted. He once claimed to be the only non-Jedi ever to be offered a seat on the Jedi Council, and later claimed to be the mastermind behind the creation of the clone troopers that formed the basis of the Grand Army of the Republic. In the wake Velin Wir's death, sometime after the Battle of Naboo, Loogg was instrumental in regaining the confidence of the Cularin government and re-establishing the Cartel's presence on Cularin. However, the citizens of Cularin regarded Loogg as nothing more than a bully and thug, and did not share their leaders' generous opinion of him. A strange message of the Cartel's benevolence was released by Loogg shortly after the discovery of the Thaereian Military build-up in the Cularin System, in which an unusually happy and jovial Loogg proclaimed that the Cartel was only trying to act in the bests interests of Cularin. Years later, a second message was broadcast by Loogg to every communications device in the system, demonstrating a supposed weakness in Cularin's own HoloNet system. In this new message, Loogg reassured the people of Cularin that the Cartel had only their best interests in mind, and warned them of the possibility of the Separatists arriving in the system. Loogg denounced the Separatists, their droid armies, and the Sith as being "bad", "evil", and "sneaky", and implored the Cularin people to support Chancellor Palpatine's efforts to end the Clone Wars. Many of Cularin's citizens simply turned off their viewscreens, which prompted Loogg and the Cartel into surreptitiously begin installing "upgrades" to Cularin's communications systems, allowing them to have virtually complete control of everything, including the ability to turn individual viewscreens on and off. Loogg claimed that this was just another sign of the Cartel's goodwill toward Cularin, but strongly warned people not to try and modify their "new" system. He went on to say that the Cartel loved Cularin, and only remained in the Cularin System in order to ensure the protection of each and every Cularin citizen. But, he said, since Cularin seemed to want to fight its own battles, the Cartel would not interfere with the very citizens it was "sworn" to protect. (LFC, LFCW)

Looie
This squat, humanoid being worked as the manager of the "redemption center" on The Rig, during the height of the Clone Wars. It was Looie's job to make sure that incoming bounty hunters and their quarry were properly processor, ensuring that the agreed-upon price was transferred into the hunter's account only after the bounty was verified. (RSF)

Look, The
This was the term used by Han Solo describe the unfocused look that came to the eyes of his wife, Leia Organa Solo, when she sensed that their son, Anakin, had died at Myrkr, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong War. Leia got The Look more than ten years later, when their other son, Jacen, was killed by his twin sister, Jaina. Jacen had became the Sith Lord known as Darth Caedus, and Jaina confronted him in an attempt to put an end to his reign of terror. (LF9)

Lookaz
When translated into Basic, this Bocce term meant "window". (GPB)

Loop Pipe
A device shaped like a hooka, used to inhale the gas and smoke from a burning leaf. (TME)

Loop Snarl
This was the descriptive name used to indicate a situation in which a tractor beam attempted to lock onto its own beam. The root cause was often a random reflection of the tractor beam back to its source. This was the desired outcome of a covert shroud gambit, in which a starship's operator ejected reflective particles in it wake as a countermeasure. These particles reflected the tractor beam back to its source, creating the loop snarl. (TLC, TTSB)

Loop, The
This was the name of the 8-X unirail train system that surrounded the city of Tal'cara in an elliptical circuit. The majority of the unirail track was belowground, and station stops were the only sections located above the surface. (SPG)

Loopa
This Bith musician joined the band known as the Twisted Rancor Trio after Ujaa was fired, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (KOTOR)

Loor, Kirtan
A native of Churba, he was an Imperial Intelligence agent working for Ysanne Isard. He resembled a taller, younger Willhuf Tarkin in nearly every aspect. He was a thin, hawk-faced man with a sharp widow's peak. He had a nearly perfect memory, which he used to his advantage. He spent some time working with Gil Bastra on Corellia, where Bastra continually got under Loor's skin and kept the agent off-balance. When Bastra forged IDs for Corran Horn, Iella and Diric Wessiri, and himself, then fled the system to defect to the Alliance, Kirtan Loor began what would become a life-long quest to hunt them down. Bastra thwarted all of Loor's attempts by leading him down false trails, using Loor's near-perfect memory to his advantage whenever possible. Loor finally succeeded in capturing Bastra about two and a half years after the Battle of Endor, but Bastra died during interrogation before divulging any useful data. Loor was then recruited by Ysanne Isard to hunt down Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron. She used the fact that Corran Horn was now in Rogue Squadron as further incentive. However, deep down, Kirtan Loor was frightened of Corran Horn. He knew that Horn was more violent and driven to escape than Loor could imagine. Loor knew that, if Corran Horn ever caught up with him, that Horn would shoot first and ask questions later. When Isard began plotting to return a diseased Coruscant to the New Republic, Kirtan became the go-between for Isard's secret agent within Rogue Squadron, who was believed to be Tycho Celchu. Using an implanted code phrase, Loor contacted his agent and obtained vital information on the plan to have the Rogues infiltrate Coruscant to gain information on its defenses. Loor played his part to perfection, keeping Isard abreast of the Rogues' activities. Isard, however, had more plans for Loor. She knew that when she turned Coruscant - already infected with the Krytos virus - over to the Republic, she would need an agent on the planet. She chose Kirtan for this duty, much to his chagrin. He was chosen to head up the Palpatine Counterinsurgency Faction, which he did with the best of his abilities. When Fliry Vorru was set loose by the Republic to head the Imperial City People's Militia, Loor was caught in Vorru's web and rendered a subordinate in the plans Isard had for Coruscant. He became fed up with the situation, not to mention the growing ability of the New Republic to fend off Imperial attacks, and offered himself and a great deal of data to Nawara Ven. Ven was acting as Celchu's lawyer, in the trial to discover the murderer of Corran Horn. Loor knew that Celchu wasn't responsible, and offered to provide this information to Ven in exchange for certain freedoms. Ven agreed, and met Iella Wessiri to bring him to the Imperial Justice Building. However, while exitting the turbolift to the prosecutor's chambers, Loor was shot to death by Diric Wessiri. Wessiri, believing that the "mystery witness" would be Evir Derricote, waited in ambush and started firing when the doors opened. Ven took a shot in the hip, and Diric was shot to death by his own wife, who believed him to be an assassin. (SWJ7, XWN, WG, KT)

Loor, Kirtana
This alias was assumed by Dynba Tesc, as part of a daring plan devised by Corran Horn to assist the rebellion on Garqi. Tesc had been freed by Eamon Yzalli - aslo known as Corran Horn - to round up her friends in the resistance. Then, with an altered appearance, she would portray Kirtana Loor, and Imperial Intelligence agent who claimed that the Imperial system constantly tried to dismiss the fact that she was a woman by calling her Kirtan. As Kirtana, she would then liberate the crew of the Star's Delight and bring them all together. Yzalli told Mosh Barris that he would be able to eliminate the resistance with one simple blow. However, he also made sure that Dynba and her friends would escape, thereby implicating Barris as a traitor to the Empire for allowing them to escape. (TFE, SWJ7)

Loorne, Saras

Looruya, Havriso
This being represented his homeworld of Yir Tangee in the Old Republic Senate, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The Senator later served on Chancellor Palpatine's Loyalist Committee, until he was discovered to have been secretly funding the Separatist movement. After Senator Onaconda Farr made sweeping allegations of conspiracy in the Senate, the Senate Bureau of Investigations found that Senator Looruya had funded the secession of several key planets, including Ando and Sluis Van. Senator Looruya was censured for his actions, and removed from the ranks of the Loyalist Committee. (HNN4, HNN5)

Ensign Lopaki graduated from the Imperial Academy shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Lopaki bristled at Grau's ability to accept from any quarter, and his anger with his commanding officer boiled over when Grau agreed to a truce between the Imperial forces on Alashan and the Alliance agents, Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, who had also been stranded by Alashan's strange powers. Ensign Lopaki's true nature was revealed when they traveled to the Alliance's archaeological dig site, when an avalanche badly injured an Imperial stormtrooper. Rather than trying to save the man, Lopaki abandoned him an in effort to save his own life. He nearly captured Luke and Leia, but he was killed by the Sentinel creature that was dispatched to eliminate them. (MCI6, MCI7)

Lopani, Rotas
This thief fled Coruscant shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, carrying with him several diplomatic datapads which held sensitive information. Lopani, who was a known associate of Bando Gora, was wanted by the government of Circarpous V. The authorities there requested the intervention of the Jedi Knights in recovering Lopani, while at the same time offering an 8,000-credit bounty for Lopani's return. The Jedi Knights dispatched Reeft to Brentaal IV, after learning of his presence there. The Bounty Hunter's Guild also dispatched Tosinqas to Brentall IV. Reeft caught up with Lopani, but was startled by the presence of Tosinqas. It was Tosinqas who killed Lopani, crashing down upon him in an ambush. Reeft inadvertently killed Tosinqas when the bounty hunter charged him, and the Jedi returned to Coruscant with both bodies. (HNN5)

Lope
This hulking man was one of Arwen Cohl's contacts on the planet Karfeddion. Cohl hoped to recruit Lope to join the team of mercenaries he was assembling, at the behest of Havac and the Nebula Front, to execute Chancellor Finis Valorum.

This Kerestian bounty hunter often traveled under the alias Andov Syn. As a bounty hunter, Loqesh was known to have posted a ninety-percent success rate, and worked for more than a decade before the Battle of Yavin. A full-body suit of armor obscured his appearance, making him exceptionally mysterious among even his fellow hunters. He was among the bounty hunters who were hired by Jabba the Hutt to hunt down Han Solo during the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin, and was later contracted by the Empire to hunt down Solo in the wake of the Battle of Hoth. He declined the Empire's offer, an action which earned him a considerable bounty on his own head for treason against the Empire. (GAL6)

Loquoy, Jent
This young girl, the daughter of Burdo and Lorna Loquoy, was one of the first beings to report on the possible existence of genius womp rats on Tatooine. Known as a hotshot pilot and a braggart, Jent's story having her T-16 skyhopper disabled by a group of womp rats seemed to grow more exaggerated with every telling. After stringing a nearly invisible wire between the canyon walls and disabling her skyhopper, Jent claimed that the genius womp rats attacked her with metal clibs before he father could chase them away. (WOTC)

Loquoy, Lorda
This moisture farmer and her husband, Burdo, lived on Tatooine with their daughter Jent, during the Galactic Civil War. (WOTC)

An excellent student, Desha Lor was hired to work as an aide to Chief of State Natasi Daala, who was a friend of the Lor family. Desha's father was a diplomat from Ryloth, and she had spent more than a year working as an intern before being hired by the Chief of State's office. Desha was quite appreciative of the job offer, and gave every effort to make sure that she earned Daala's continued trust and confidence. This led to a difficult assignment when Wynn Dorvan, Daala's chief aide, assigned Desha with the task of tracking the locations and activities of certain key members of the Jedi Order, following the actions of Natua Wan and the chaos she caused at the Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition. (FJ2)

Lor, Galon

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

Loran, Garik "Face"
This man, a native of Pantolomin, was best known as a child actor who worked in a multitude of Imperial propaganda films. His face became a symbol for the Empire, and his films were responsible for large jumps in Imperial recruitment. Just as he was trying to get into more teeen-aged roles, he was captured by Alliance extremists who showed him what the Empire was really all about before they planned to execute him for aiding the Emperor. An Imperial attack on the rebel outpost resulted in both sides being decimated, and Garik himself sustained multiple injuries. He hid from the remaining Imperial, and eventually made it back to Pantolomin. His parents then shipped him to their homeworld of Lorrd, when he recovered from his injuries and decided to join the Alliance. His "death" was reported shortly before the Battle of Yavin, and broke the hearts of many young girls. Among most of the Alliance personnel, Garik was known as "The Face" because of the popularity of his cherubic face, although the battle left him with a few scars. He bought his own A-Wing, and trained in it on his own. He eventually became a pilot with Comet Squadron, but was forced extra-vehicular in order to avoid a proton torpedo. In his debriefing, Edor Crespin told Loran that he'd never amount to much, and would never repay the debt he owed the Republic for serving the Empire. Loran snapped back, telling Crespin that he was "just following in his footsteps." Crespin demoted him from pilot ranks, and Loran thought he'd never fly again until he made the cut to join Wraith Squadron. Loran also served as te squadron's insertion expert and part-time cook. For his part in rescuing the Night Caller during Apwar Trigit's attack on Talasea, Face was promoted to Lieutenant. During this time, Face became good friends with Ton Phanan, as the two exchanged quips and developed a friendly rivalry. Their friendship was crushed when Phanan was shot down and killed over Halmad, despite the incredible effort Face put in to rescue him. Phanan, in his will, left Face a large sum of money, provided that he have the facial scars removed. If not, the money went to Loran's arch-nemesis, Tetran Cowall. So, Face had the surgery and retained the money. During this time, Face fell in love with Dia Passik. In order to infiltrate Warlord Zsinj's confidence, Face then assumed the identity of General Kargin, leader of the Hawk-bat Independent Space Force. He met several times with Zsinj, each time increasing the Warlord's belief that Kargin was truly independent. After the defeat of Zsinj at Kuat, Face was promoted to brevet Captain by Wedge, a position was was eventually made official by the New Republic after the Battle of Selaggis. He continued to lead Wraith Squadron after it was re-commissioned as an Infiltrator team, and was part of the forces which were dispatched to monitor Yuuzhan Vong fleet movements after the aliens invaded the galaxy.

Loran Spitball
This starfighter assault maneuver was designed by Garik Loran and Wraith Squadron. It involved the launching a large number of proton torpedoes at the unshielded durasteel plating protecting the power cells of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer. Subsequent bombing runs by starfighters or a supporting capital ship widened the gap in the plating, destroying the power cells. (WS)

Lorana
This woman owned Lorana's Labyrinth, located in the starport city of Kelada, during the era of the Galactic Civil War. She had a soft spot for smugglers, but never gave anything away for free. Because of her position in the local society, Lorana obtained a great deal of information on the Anarid Cluster and Kelada itself. (SWJ1, OWS)

Lorana's Labyrinth
This tavern, located on the planet Kelada, was popular with spacers and smugglers. Nestled within the warehouses and docking bays on the planet's major starport, it was named for the meandering bar which dominated the establishment, creating a maze of chairs and raised platforms. There were no tables in the bar, so patrons had to stand, making it difficult to move completely through the tavern. The bar was located along the walls of the building, but made serveral turns toward the interior.

While this made movement in the bar difficult, it made Lorana's a perfect place for a smuggler or crimnal to escape from a pursuer. Mirrors along the walls provided the illusion of depth and space, and often added to the confusion of trying to find one's way through the tavern. The low lighting conditions further added to the bar's unusual interior, and the bartenders were usually too busy - or too annoyed - to give lost patrons directions on how to find their way around or out of the bar.

The exterior of Lorana's Labyrinth belied its apparently massive interior. There were no windows to provide a glimpse inside, and the three entryways were plainly marked. Lorana herself maintained several traps doors and escape doors in the bar, to help friends and herself escape, should there ever be a problem.

During the height of the New Order, Imperial forces on Kelada often raided Lorana's Labyrinth, hoping to catch smugglers and crimnals. However, these individual were often regular patrons, and almost always managed to sneak away and escape. Over time, the Empire learned to play by the same rules as the criminals, sending in spies and agents to gather information on a suspect's whereabouts, while moving stormtroopers through the streets outside as a subtle reminder of the Empire's presence. (SWJ1, OWS)

Loranda
This custom-appointed cruiser was owned by Hetton, during the years following the Battle of Ruusan. Named for his mother, the Loranda was eighty meters in length, and was designed for luxury and ease of use. The ship required just a single pilot to operate, yet could accommodate up to twenty passengers. The ship was well-armed and well-defended, in case it was ever intercepted by pirates. Some ten years after the Battle of Ruusan, Hetton took the ship and traveled to Tython with Zannah, the young apprentice of Darth Bane. Hetton hoped that Zannah would kill Bane and take him as her apprentice, but Zannah turned on him and allowed Bane to cut him down. Zannah then took ownership of the Loranda, and used it to carry Bane's injured body back to their camp on Ambria.

Once on Ambria, Zannah was forced to disable the systems of the Loranda in order to strand herself on the planet, in exchange for Caleb's help in healing Bane's injuries. Although Caleb ultimately was able to save Darth Bane, Zannah killed him and then made it look as if her cousin, Darovit, had murdered him. This allowed Zannah and Bane to escape from a group of Jedi who traveled to Ambria to catch them. Zannah then spent several days repairing the Loranda, restoring the ship's operations so that they could flee Ambria and continue their work in restoring the power of the Sith. (DBRT)

Lord Dreypa's Oubliette
This ancient Sith device was essentially a coffin-like stasis chamber that was developed by Sith Lord known as Dreypa. Similar in appearance ot a set of huge jaws, the Oubliette was created as a prison that could be used to store the body of Karness Muur, who had begun using the Muur Talisman to create a massive army of rakghouls. Once stored inside the Oubliette, a being would be forced to endure an eternity of pain and suffering. The outer shell of the Oubliette blocked all sensors and scanners, thereby ensuring that no being would be able to locate any being who was locked inside. In this way, Dreypa hoped to eliminate Karness Muur forever. However, before Karness Muur could captured, he disappeared and was not seen again. Lord Dreypa's Oubliette was forgotten, but was later recovered by the Mandalorian scientist known as Pulsipher. Celeste Morne used Lord Dreypa's Oubliette to place her own body in stasis, after she put on the Muur Talisman and found herself possessed by the spirit of Karness Muur.

The Mandalorians, led by Cassus Fett, then bombarded the surface of Jebble from orbit, ensuring that the Mando-raks that had been created because of the talisman were destroyed. The bombardment melted much of the surface ice and snow on the planet, burying the Oubliette beneath a kilometer of ice. It remained there for more than 2,000 years, until it was excavated by a team of miners that had begun searching for natural resources on Jebble. These miners were unable to open it, but one miner decided that he had to possess it. He killed off his companions and made of with the Oubliette, but eventually he lost possession of it. It was during this time that Lord Dreypa's Oubliette became known as the Jebble Box, and ownership of the Oubliette changed hands many times over the next 1,400 years, often during bloody attacks or wars. It was eventually recovered by Schurk-Heren, who planned to sell Lord Dreypa's Oubliette to the highest bidder.

After a failed attempt to sell the artifact to Haka Hai, Schurk-Heren arranged to exchange the Oubliette with Fane Peturri, unaware that Peturri was actually working for Darth Vader and the Galactic Empire. Vader wasted no time in opening the Oubliette, using his lightsaber to slash the lid from the coffin and free Celeste Morne from her imprisonment. When she realized that she had been awakened by a Sith Lord, Celeste drew her lightsaber and attacked Vader, and during their battle the Oubliette was damaged. (KORV, DTV)

Lord Mirdalan
This was the name used by Walon Vau to describe his pet strill, during the era of the Clone Wars. The beast was often referred to simply as Mird, although Vau called it Mirdala Mird'ika whenever he praised its abilities. The beast accompanied Vau to the planet Kamino, after Vau agreed to become one of the Cuy'val Dar, which meant that it didn't get out to do much hunting in its native environment. To compensate for its urge to hunt, Vau allowed the strill to hunt the Kaminoans. It even caught one individual, a member of the lower caste whose absense was barely noticed.

During the mission to smash a Separatist-funded terrorist ring on Coruscant, about a year after the Battle of Geonosis, Mird accompanied Vau everywhere, and was instrumental in returning Perrive's datapad after the criminal was shot and killed. In the fighting that took place afterward, Mird was hit in the leg with blaster fire, and had to be carried back to base. The beast eventually allowed Etain Tur-Mukan to lay her hands on the wounds and use the Force to help accelerate the healing process. During the Delta Squad mission to Mygeeto, Lord Mirdalan was trapped under the ice with Walon Vau when the ioce beneath their feet gave way, plunging them down a crystal worm hole. Using its body heat, the strill helped to keep Vau warm until Kal Skirata and Ordo arrived with the Aay'han and were able to rescue them.

Although little was known of what happened in the wake of the Clone Wars, Lord Mirdalan re-appeared more than 50 years later, in the possession of Jaing Skirata. (RCTZ, LF5, RCTC)

Lord Nyax
This was the name adopted by Irek Ismaren, when he awakened on Coruscant to find that he had been altered by his mother to become a Force-wielding humunculous. Initially upon awakening, Irek had no idea of his personality or memories. His mind was a virtual blank, except for the programming his mother had provided him, after he took a lightsaber thrust in the brain. After killing his mother and escaping the captivity of the facility in the Bluenek Section of Coruscant, he adopted the monicker of Lord Nyax after hearing it in the minds of the victims he killed. Despite the unfinished nature of his programming, Lord Nyax had a deep connection to the Dark Side of the Force, which gave him an easy path to learning what he needed to know. Lord Nyax used mental projection to control the weak-minded being who survived the Battle of Coruscant, drawing on their energies while using them to scout out the Yuuzhan Vong. He also learned how to wield the collection of lightsaber connected to the gloves and joints of his body, making a formidable opponent for anything which opposed him. Lord Nyax also discovered the location of the former Jedi Temple on Coruscant, sensing its presence by the incredible knot of Force energy beneath it. Nyax drew strength from this well of energy, twisting it to the Dark Side and growing incredibly powerful. When Luke Skywalker and his infiltration team discovered Lord Nyax, they were forced into battle in order to stop the Dark Lord from adding to the troubles plaguing the New Republic. They were unable to battle him with lightsabers, but a concerted effort to disable him using rocks and boulders proved effctive enough. Nyax suffered sever damage to his legs and back, and fell into a pit below the Jedi Temple. As he lay dying in the pit, Nyax gathered all the Dark Side energy he could muster and began throwing it out of the pit. Tons of rubble spewed skyward, then crashed back down onto Coruscant's surface. As the rubble stopped falling, Luke discovered that Nyax's physical body was destroyed, but the Dark Side nature of the creature remained in the surrounding structure. (EL2)

This planet, located in the Allied Tion sector, the inhabitants of Lorrad were enslaved early in the history of the galaxy and remained in servitude throughout the history of the Tion. Much of the population was put to work in heavy-machinery factories, producing anything from tools to speeders. (ML, GORW)

Lorrad Flightworks
This vehicle manufacturer produced several versions of copters, including the H-12, which were used throughout the Tion Cluster as taxis and transports. (GORW)

Lorrb
This man worked as a spaceport controller on the planet Beheboth, during the early years of the New Republic. (PH)

Lorrd
This planet orbited very near to its sun, and it therefore subjected to large amounts of solar radiation. It's human inhabitants adapted to this harsh environment over the generations, developing extremely dark skin and eyes. During the Kanz Disorders, the planet was bombed form orbit and enslaved by warriors from nearby Argazda. The Lorrdians were forced to further adapt in order to survive, developing a physical form of communication when their Argazdan captors prohibited them from using normal speech. (HSR, CSA, OWS)

Lorrd Academy for Aquatic Studies
This university was established in Lorrd City, on the planet Lorrd, and was dedicated to the preservation and discovery of knowledge about the oceans found on planets throughout the galaxy. The front of the main building of the academy was dominated by a huge aquarium that measured some three stories in height. The aquarium was decorated with a scale model of Lorrd City, and was usually filled with aquatic plant and animal life of all sizes, shapes, and colors. (LF1)

Lorrd Artifact
This was the name used by Doctor Heilan Rotham to describe the strange collection of tassels that was discovered by Jacen Solo at Toryaz Station, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Doctor Rotham later discovered that the tactile writing contained in the tassels formed the words of the Prophecy of the Sith. Several of the threads defied translation, however, causing Doctor Rotham to open up a symposium entitled "Common Threads in Prophecies Recorded in the Symbology of Knotted Threads." She hoped that other khipulogists and fiber-record analysts could help her to finally understand the full message of the tassels. (LF5)

Lorrd City
This was one of the major cities found on the planet Lorrd, and served as the planetary capital during the era of the New Order. (SWDB, LF1, OWS)

Lorrd City Spaceport
This was the largest spaceport found in Lorrd City, on the planet Lorrd, during the years following the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. (LF1)

Lorrd II
This was the largest of the moons that orbitted the planet Lorrd. During the early stages of the Kanz Disorders, the members of the Sisterhood of the Glorious Radiance were banished to Lorrd II by the Myrialites, who suspected the Sisters of helping slaves. They were later freed by Revanchist forces during the Mandalorian Wars, and it was said that the Revanchist himself led the attack on the Myrialites, in an attempt to acquire Lorrdian gemstones. (OWS)

Lorrd Logistician Liberation League
This group of fanatical mathematicians caused no small amount of trouble in Lorrd City, on the planet Lorrd, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. Many members later claimed that they acted on the advice of a Force ghost. Jacen Solo and Nelani Dinn added their actions to the growing list of unusual, Jedi-related events that occurred in the city, including the suicides of Ornith Huarr and Movac Arisster. (LF1)

Lorrd Security Force
This was the primary law enforcement agency found on the planet Lorrd, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (LF1)

Lorrdian
The genetically human inhabitants of Lorrd, the Lorrdians traced their origins back to human settlers who established a small civilization on Lorrd. Like many other races in the Kanz Sector, the Lorrdians were subjugated and enslaved by the Argazdans during the Kanz Disorders. The Lorrdians attempted to forge an alliance with the Amaltannan resistance, which incurred a greater wrath from the Argazdans. The Lorrdians were forbidden to speak, sing, or use other vocal communication while enslaved, and so they developed a complex form of sign language known as "kinesic communication." Rather than speaking out loud, Lorrdians learned to use subtle movements of the body, hands and face to communicate. They became adept mimics, and even after being liberated by the Jedi Knights and an Old Republic task force, they continued to use the non-verbal communication. Their mimicry earned them positions in a number of entertainment industries. As a human people, Lorrdians were known for the fact that they did not use surnames when describing themselves. Instead, each Lorrdians used a combination of the names of their relatives to define themselves, sometimes taking on as many as twenty individual parts to their names. The order of these various names defined each Lorrdian, although they could be called by any one of the names they took on. (HSR, AE, EGA, NEGA, OWS)

Lorrdian Gemstone
This was the generic term used to describe any gemstone that was native to the planet Lorrd, but that was imbued with the power of the Force by an ancient Lorrdian. The few Force-sensitive Lorrdians who survived the Kanz Disorders gave these stones the power to help an individual understand their opponent. A few Jedi Knights, in the wake of the Great Sith War, used Lorrdian gemstones as focusing crystals in their lightsabers. (KOTOR2)

Lorrin, Jace
This dark-skinned man served as a Viceprex in the Corporate Sector Authority, during the years following the Battle of Yavin. Lorrin was secretly trying to overthrow the current ExO. (RESB)

Lorrir
This Imperial Colonel threw in his lot with Prince-Admiral Krennel, after Krennel defected from Imperial service after the Battle of Endor. Lorrir served as a Lieutenant as part of the 181st Imperial Fighter Group which was garrisoned at Brentaal IV, shortly before it was taken by the New Republic. Later, Lorrir was re-assigned to a post on the Reckoning, and was assigned to train Krennel's fighter pilots. Lorrir was a supporter of Lon Isoto, and firmly believed that Soontir Fel had betrayed the Empire at Brentaal instead of Isoto. Lorrir himself was a mediocre pilot, as demonstrated when Antar Roat's Requiem Squadron trained with Lorri's forces prior to Krennel's planned assault on Coruscant. Lorrir was placed in command of the Requiem ships, which were ordered to fly on his orders. When Krennel sounded a battle alarm, Roat - who was actually Wedge Antilles, and was on Ciutric to bring down the planet's shields to allow the New Republic to defeat the Prince-Admiral - knocked Lorrir cold and took his uniform. This allowed him to delay the launch of Requiem's fighters, giving them a chance to avoid the major battle while trying to knock out the planet's defenses. Lorrir was tapped by the clone of Ysanne Isard to pilot a shuttle away from Ciutric, in an effort make Rogue Squadron believe she was in it. Mimicking the scheme the real Isard used to escape Thyferra, the clone sent relayed communications through the shuttle's comm systems while Lorrir fled the planet. However, Wedge recognized Lorrir's tendency to side-slip his ship to avoid being hit by enemy fire and destroyed the shuttle. Lorrir was killed when it plowed into the Daplona River and disintegrated. (IR)

Lorrir, Kandise
This woman was Colonel Lorrir's wife. She was a typical Imperial wife, worried more about appearances and social politics than the world around her. (IR)

Lors
This searing ball of rock was the innermost planet of the Duro System. It was orbited by a single moon. (CCW)

Lorshan Pass
This rugged mountain pass was located on the planet Haruun Kal. During the Summertime War, the Korunnai maintained their primary base in the heart of the Lorshan Pass, which offered them a clear area in which to establish a communications facility. (SHPT)

Lorso, Jana
This woman worked as an executive for the Czerka Corporation, and was based at the corporation's location on Citadel Station during the years following the Jedi Civil War. Lorso was known by the Telos Security Force to have been working with all manner of criminals, using them to advance her own position and the needs of Czerka itself. When Batono betrayed Czerka and told the TSF about the corporation's dealings, Lorso hired a group of thugs to kill the traitor. They were unable to complete the mission, however, as they were defeated in combat by The Exile. (KOTOR2)

Lorta
This Mid Rim world was believed to have been the homeworld of the Lortan race. (WOTC)

Lortan
This expansionist race, native to the planet Lorta, sent a battle fleet into twelve systems and wiped out every planet it encountered, including the Jiroch System. This extermination of life was known as the Reslian Purge. They were finally stopped by an Imperial fleet about ten years before the Battle of Yavin. It's members believed that a man-hutt would someday sweep evil from the galaxy. (GG12, MBF, WOTC)

Lorteli, Arabelle
This Zoolli woman the judge who was appointed by the Galactic Alliance Chief of State, Natasi Daala, to preside over any legal matter that involved the Jedi Order, some two years after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War. Judge Lorteli succeeded Judge Zudan and Daala's hand-picked legal counsel, during Daala's attempts to bring the Jedi Order under control. One of the first things that Judge Lorteli did was authorize the warrant for the arrest of Tahiri Veila, who had been responsible for the killing of Gilad Pellaeon during the war. Judge Lorteli was known for her exquisite taste in furniture and style, and her offices were filled with state-of-the-art LevitaRest furniture and artwork from a variety of periods of galactic history. These offices were heavily scented with the fruity that Judge Lorteli preferred. In the courtroom, however, Judge Lorteli often appeared embarrassed by her own position, and her high-pitched voice served as a reminder that she lacked any real judicial power. At the arraignment hearing followed Veila's arrest, Judge Lorteli initially refused to acknowledge Veila's lawyer, Nawara Ven, and when Ven himself refused to reveal whether he was still be paid by the Jedi Order, Lorteli explained that she would not accept him as Veila's legal counsel. Lorteli went on to question Veila directly, ignoring Ven's objections to what was obviously a formality in determining Veila's guilt. Although Judge Lorteli refused to allow Ven to continue as Veila's legal councsel, she did sign a writ that allowed a group of Jedi Masters, including Corran Horan and his wife, Mirax, to visit the carbonite-frozen bodies of their children in a Galatic Alliance prison. (FJ3)

Loruss
This Chief Technician was the manager of the IG-88 development project at Holowan Laboratories. An ugly, bald-shaven woman with large gaps between her teeth, Loruss had tinted lenses implanted into her eye-sockets to assist her failing vision. She admitted to Imperial Supervisor Gurdun that the schedules imposed by the Empire for the IG-88 project didn't leave them much time to test the prototypes. She was the second person killed in the labs when IG-88 suddenyl gained sentience, when the droid reflected her laser blast back at her. (TBH)

Losca
This Alliance Lieutenant was a supply officer who had to restock the Alliance bases after the losses at Derra IV. She was on a tight schedule to get the Hoth base supplied, and normal supply chains were ignoring her requests because of recent Imperial victories over the Alliance. She decided to create a droid to help her locate supplies as a commodities broker. She took a standard M-3PO droid and modified its programming, adding a brokering chip and some scrounging subroutines. She buried the routines under code-phrase activation, so that only a precise series of vocal commands would activate them. This M-3PO droid was later known as Emtrey, and made its was to Rogue Squadron following the Battle of Endor. Losca, however, perished in the Battle of Hoth. (WG)

Loset, Shagrad

Losh
This Jenet worked as a minor bureaucrat in the Imperial government, during the early months of the New Order. Losh was working when Captain Typho arrived on Coruscant, during his attempt to locate the being who killed Padme' Amidala. Losh was surprised to learn that Typho was well-versed in Jenet customs, and agreed to help him locate any information about travel to and from the planet Mustafar, at the end of the Clone Wars. (CN2)

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

Losh
This archaic name was given to female Zabrak, although its original meaning was lost over time. (GCG)

Losibaru
This was one of the most popular names for babies, during the year leading up to the Clone Wars. (HNN4)

Losron, Kinakt
This man was a former employee of Kiharaphor Engineering, but was drafted into the Empire when Mof Sarne started working with the DarkStryder device. However, Losron was unable to determine how the device worked. Sarne declared him incompetent and sent him to the Q'Maere detention facility. While in the prison, he befriended Lowen Chase and was an integral part of the planning of the riots which freed the prisoners. Once aboard the FarStar with Chase, Losron became instrumental in leading the mutiny which swept the ship. Losron and Corla Unser took control of Engineering, but were unable to secure the ship because of its cobbled-together state. (KR)

Lossor
A large sea creature native to Varn. (HSR)

Lost Aqualish
This paramilitary group of Aqualish soldiers operated from a base on the planet Talus, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The origins of this band of Aqualish can be traced back to the time of the Aqualish-Corellian War, after which the band was formed in order to anticipate the war being restarted between humans and Aqualish. These so-called Talus Aqualish remained hidden, cutting themselves off from the rest of civilization, in order to prepare for the next war. Thus, they were virtually unaware of the events surrounding the Clone Wars, the establishment of the Galactic Empire, or the Galactic Civil War, until the rebellion reached the Corellian System. This earned them the new moniker of the Lost Aqualish. (SWGAL, SWG2P)

Lost City of the Jedi
A hidden, underground city found on Yavin Four, the Lost City of the Jedi was created long ago by the Jedi Knights. Its entrance was formed by a 2-meter cylinder of green marble hidden deep in the rain forests of the moon. The exact location of the entrance was kept secret by the Jedi, although the existence of the City had been known for years. Kadann even knew the City existed, but he never found the exact location. Once the circle of marble was opened, a tube-shaped transport descends to the city itself, which was a technological marvel of its day. The Jedi Library was located in the City, the storehouse of all the greatest Jedi lore and knowledge. In order to preserve the secret of the City and its location, the ancient Jedi programmed droids to guard and protect it. These droids were the only residents of the City until the Jedi Knights hid the boy Ken there, for safe keeping until he could emerge as a Jedi. The City was eventualy damaged in the battles between Trioculus and the New Republic, and was shut down and cut off. (LCJ, EGC)

Lost Coaster Amusement Park
This amusement park was located along the banks of Lake Joko, on the northern edge of the High Town district of Efavan, on the planet Vorzyd 5. (GORW)

Lost Hope
This decrepit freighter was used by Corran Horn to infiltrate the planet Garqi, in order avoid being detected by the Yuuzhan Vong who controlled the planet. The ship was barely spaceworthy, but that only served to deepen the illusion of the ship's destruction in the atmosphere over Garqi. Corran and his team flew the Lost Hope to Garqi, then sent out an SOS before detonating the ship. Within its holds, Corran had stowed a small shuttle, the Best Chance, in which he and his Noghri guard rode until the Lost Hope exploded. The shuttle then drifted down to the surface of Garqi. (DTR)

Lost in the Wastes
Referring to the act of getting lost in the Jundland Wastes, this phrase originated on the planet Tatooine, and came to describe any being who was totally unprepared for a given situation. (GG7, OWS)

Lost Lady
This starship was owned by Vir Nurb, and was used to make regular runs between Nal Hutta and the planet's primary moon, Nar Shaddaa. Nothing more than an old Ubrikkian Dartiss-5 Caravel space barge, the Lost Lady carried passengers and cargo as a front for the transport of illegal substances between the two worlds. Vir Nurb avoided any entanglements with the Hutts by paying the appropriate bribes. The Lost Lady was armed with four turret-mounted turbolaser cannons and four concussion missile launchers. During the early years of the New Order, Deggar Feps tried to escape from Sottos the Hutt aboard the Lost Ladt. Her crew managed to fend off several bounty hunters who were trying to destroy the ship and claim the bounty on Deggar Feps, thanks in part to the freelance mercenaries who were trying to assist Feps and his escape. (WOTC)

Lost Loves Casino
This gambling house was located on Phyrstal Island, on Abregado-Rae. Despite its location, the Lost Loves Casino had a run-down appearance. (ND)

Lost Nest
This was the term used by the various hives of the Colony to describe the Killik hive that eventually settled on Alderaan, around the time of the formation of the Old Republic. (DN1)

Lost Ones
A gang of misfits and bullies living under the cities of Coruscant, the Lost Ones were one of Zekk's rivals for freedom underground. The Lost Ones painted grafitti to mark their territory, and their symbol - a cross inside a triangle - was the primary marking. When Zekk was kidnapped by Tamith Kai, his incredible sensitivity to the Force prompted Kai and the leaders of the Shadow Academy to return to Coruscant and capture the Lost Ones gang. Those with Force-sensitivity were given training in the use of the Dark Side, while others were given training as stormtroopers or other military positions. Jacen Solo and Tenel Ka tried to stop the abduction of the Lost Ones, but were stunned before they could help. (LO)

Lost Promise
This song, written and played by the band Deeply Religious, was banned by the Imperial Board of Culture. It first appeared on the compilation Emperor of Air and Darkness. (GG9)

Lost Reef
This DeepWater-class light freighter was purchased by the antiquities dealer Saell-Terae, who used it to map out vast areas of the Unknown Regions. Saell-Terae replaced the Mon Calamari life support systems with a non-aquatic environment, and upgraded the ship's defenses and weapons. The single laser turret was replaced with a quad-laser turret, and four torpedo launchers were concealed in the bow. Saell-Terae even replaced the stock sensors with a military-grade package. In the end, however, Saell-Terae was believed to have run afoul of Admiral Thrawn, when the Admiral was trying to obtain rare statues produced by an alien civilization. He was forced to abandon the Lost Reef in order to make off with the statues, and he spent much of his life trying to find the ship again. The Lost Reef was eventually found near Elrood. (SS)

Lost Sultans of Lust
This was one of the most secretive brotherhoods ever encountered in the known galaxy. Only a handful of beings were ever invited to meet with them, and even fewer were ever allowed to actually dine with them. Among these fortunate individuals was Ebenn Q3 Baobab. (GPB)

Lost Treasure of Boro-borosa
This legend, popular during the early decades of the New Republic, claimed that a vast treasure trove was hidden in the deepest depths of space. No one ever found it, however. (FH1)

Lost Tribe, The
This was another term used to describe the members of The Tribe, those Sith Lords and their descendants who evolved on the planet Kesh. (FJ3)

Lost Twenty, The
This was the term used by the Jedi Order to describe the twenty Knights who voluntarily left the Order to pursue their own agendas. Before there were twenty Jedi who left the Order, the group was known simply as The Lost. TheJedi Order chose to remember the Lost Twenty by constructing bronzium busts of each former Jedi, as a reminder of their honor and of the regret at their departure. Many Jedi historians of the New Republic made the claim that Anakin Skywalker was the twenty-first of the Lost Jedi, after he turned to the Dark Side and became Darth Vader. (HNN5, E3N, RDV, SWI94, EGF)

Lost Voices
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)

Lost, The
This was the original term used by the Jedi Order of the Old Republic to describe the handful of individuals who abandoned the Order to learn more about other aspects of the Force. Most times, these individuals left the Jedi Order on their own terms, often because of ideological differences on the nature of the Force or the Jedi Order's role in the galaxy. As a rule, the individuals who were part of The Lost did not leave the Jedi Order to pursue the teachings of the Sith, although Jedi Master Phanius did leave the Order and eventually became Darth Ruin. After the end of the New Sith Wars, The Lost numbered just twelve individuals. Before it was destroyed in the wake of the Clone Wars, the Jedi Order recognized twenty individuals as having voluntarily given up their oaths to pursue other avenues of study or belief, the last of whom was Count Dooku. Thus, the name used to refer to these individuals became the Lost Twenty. Dooku and Phanius were the only two members of The Lost whose names were known to the new Jedi Order that was established by Luke Skywalker. (OWS, DBRT, EGF)

Lost, The
This was the name given to those children who were native to Cularin, but for any number of reasons had slipped through the cracks of society's agenda. The Lost were not central to any one city, but were common across the planet. They lived in abandoned warehouses and other hidden areas, and were often led by one or more charismatic individuals who worked diligently to give these children a chance to rise from their isolation. Many of these children were abandoned by travelers or dumped by slavers moving through the Cularin System, but there was a large number who simply ran away from home. Lora Nadad, one of the champions working for The Lost, estimated that there were between 1,500 and 2,000 children who fit this class during the years following the Battle of Naboo. (WOTC)

Loswilla
This snow-white, fluffy humanoid vamp was a frequent passenger on the Kuari Princess. She hung around Xerrol's Place, looking for short romances during each cruise. (RM)

Lot 452
This fortified compound, located on the planet Ukio, served as the base of operations for the ThunderForce mercenary unit during the Galactic Civil War. It was located in a rural area, well away from the nearest city, which had been controlled by crimelord Granz Niiliisi. The local government requested that the ThunderForce unit remove Niiliisi from power, and turned a blind eye to their activities after Niiliisi was exiled. (HAS)

Lota
This Aramandi akia was known for its conservative approach to life. It was not uncommon for members of the Lota clan to debate for hours on end, ensuring that they were fully informed of all aspects of a situation before making a decision. (AE)

Lota System
This planetary system, located in Brak Sector, was located in the restricted Aramand Cluster. (FBS)

Lotas
This Rodian bounty hunter was working for an Imperial admiral, when the admiral offered him the opportunity to have a variety of cybernetic implants placed in his body instead of being paid in hard credits. Never one to overlook a chance to gain an advantage over his competition, Lotas agreed to be implanted, even though the admiral was doing it to help further several corporations in which he held stock. Over time, much of Lotas' physical body was replaced with mechanical parts, and he came to detest the "frailties of the flesh." Lotas eventually went to work for Ploovo Two-for-One, serving as part of his Protocol Team, where he became friends with HN-TR1 and EV-4D9. (AIR)

Lotek
This small corporations produced power generators for starships, and they supplied a number of components to the Corellian Engineering Corporation. (SWJ5)

Lothka
This Jenet was employed as a servant by Bwahl the Hutt. Bwahl preferred to call Lothka "Jen," a nickname barely tolerated by Lothka. (EGA)

Lotide
Much of this planet was covered with swamps, which helped keep the Imperial installation on the planet away from prying eyes. On Lotide, the Empire established a weapons research and development lab. (BI)

Lotiramine
This substance was often used by crimelords to keep their subordinates from revealing too much information if arrested or captured. By itself, lotiramine was harmless. However, when it interacts with certain interrogation drugs, such as skirtopanol, the combination induces chemical amnesia. If too much of one or the other was taken or administered, the prisoner can die of the chemical interaction, which can take the form of severe convulsions or internal hemorraging. (XWN, KT)

Loto, Aimi
This woman was one of the Alliance's most unusual saboteurs, in that she worked exclusively with droids and avoided human contact whenever possible. Many felt that she avoided human contact after her mother, M'lay Loto, suddenly disappeared. Aimi wore her black hair long and braided, as a way to maintain a connection to her mother. Aimi worked with an droid assistant known as Blockhead. The droid's identification was MdZ-BLK, and he joined Aimi of his own free will. Together, they worked in an area only a short time in order to avoid capture, but their efforts were highly efficient. Aimi, who wore a black-plated blast helmet to hide her appearance, strongly believed that droids should have rights like any other being. This belief was maintained despite the fact that she used droids as her personal saboteurs, programming them to operate for up a year in Imperial labor pools before they malfunctioned. These malfunctions often resulted in destroyed computer records or incredible explosions. (CRO)

Loto, M'lay
This strong-willed woman was Aimi Loto's mother. Her sudden disappearance caused Aimi to retract from human contact. (CRO)

Lotor, Mak
This young Jedi Padawan was part of the task force dispatched to the planet Jabiim, during the height of the Clone Wars. Like many of the students who were forced into battle, Mak lost his Master to the Jabiimite rebels. At the time, Mak was the most educated of the Padawans, and the closest to passing the Jedi Trials. However, this did not exempt him from experiencing the horrors of battle, especially after his Master was among the dead during the first month of the conflict on Jabiim. His anguish was diminished partly because of his live for Kass. When the surviving Padawans banded together in an effort to stop the advance of Alto Stratus, Kass and Mak fought bravely for four days before cornering Stratus on the battlefield. Although Stratus injured Mak's shoulder, Kass managed to severe Stratus' right leg before a Hailfire droid fired its rockets at the Jedi. Before they could finish Stratus off, Mak and Kass were killed in a fiery explosion. (RBJ)

Lotrent
This Bothan was a noted demolitions expert who worked for the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. (GUN)

He joined the Imperial Army immediately after graduating from the Academy, and served under the command of General Veers before being promoted to General and taking command of Walker Operations and Tactics training on Jardeen IV. He was given credit for developing the first automated Imperial war machines, after he successfully slaved together several AT-AT walkers and placed them under the control of a single pilot. His theories and designs were later used on the TIE/D automated fighter. After the Battle of Endor, Lott left Jardeen IV and joined forces with Captain Iolan Gendarr, in an effort to create his own private empire. (DESB, WBC)

Lo'Uran
This remote planet was marginally controlled by the Empire, which deemed the world too far-removed to warrant a full garrison. (SWJ10)

Lourdes
This beautiful young woman was a near-human Princess. From a species with thin limbs and tall, pointed ears, Lourdes was left parentless when Lord Gar-Oth murdered her parents in an effort to take control of her planetoid. Gar-Oth then forced Lourdes to marry him, in an effort to legitimize his rule. Lourdes refused, and accepted the help of Yoshi Raph-Elan in freeing her people. Lourdes then revealed that she had been trained to wield a sword by her father, and agreed to try and kill Gar-Oth while Yoshi was locked in combat with The Goliath droid. However, Gar-Oth caught her and began to strangle her. Only timely intervention of her servant Skeeter allowed Lourdes a chance to drive a sword into the crimelords' chest. It was later discovered that Lourdes herself was The Foreseen, after her defeat of Gar-Oth was made public. She then asked Yoshi to grow up and return to her, as she had begun to fall in love with him. (SWS)

Love Commander
This aging PLY 2400 yacht was acquired by Lando Calrissian in a sabacc match, several years after the Swarm War. Lando won the ship from a gambler who was trying to win enough to drag himself out of debt, but only lost the ship to Lando's sabacc skills. Lando decided to keep the ship's name, and maintained the yacht as a back-up to his primary vessel, the Lady Luck. Having the Love Commander proved useful during the Corellian secession crisis, some ten years after the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, when he agreed to accompany Han and Leia Organa Solo on a clandestine fact-finding mission to Corellia. Lando posed as Bescat Offdurmin, the ship's owner, in order to get through the Galactic Alliance's blockade of the Corellian System.

The Love Commander was easily distinguished by its swirled, blue and green paint job, which seemed to mesmerize most beings who looked at it. Hidden beneath the outer hull were several weapons systems, including a retractable turbolaser turret on top and a concussion missile launcher hidden beneath a fake sensor dish beneath the bow. Further defense was provided by a pop-up shield generator that appeared to be an auxiliary access hatch. This method of concealing the shields meant that the shield could not be deployed until the system was activated.

Shortly after Lando and his wife, Tendra Risant Calrissian, discovered that they were going to have a child, Lando loaned the Love Commander to Han and Leia Solo. The Solos planned to use the ship as part of a plan to infiltrate the Anakin Solo and steal navigational information and other intelligence about Jacen. (LF4, LF7)

Love in the Ruins
This song, written and played by the band Red Shift Limit, first appeared on the compilation Totally Patriotic. It was an instrumental song. (GG9)

Love Is Waiting
This was the title of one of the holofeatures Sonniod brought to Han Solo on Kamar, during the early years of the New Order. It was a sweeping musical that followed the adventures of a wayward hero, whose travels were highlighted by well-choreographed dance numbers set to a soaring musical score. The film offended the Kamarian Badlanders who had been watching Varn, World of Water. They believed that they had been offering up payment in return for the ability to fantasize about a planet where water was abundant, unlike Kamar. The Kamarians tore down Han's holotheater and forced him off the planet after seeing just the opening scenes of Love was Waiting. (HSR)

Lovech, Rexis
This insane old man was the controller of Darknon Station at the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was mentally unbalanced, and often required spacers to enter a holding pattern before allowing them to dock at the station, even when all bays were empty and there was no other traffic. Rexis was also known to throw a spacer out of a docking bay at a moment's notice, claiming that he needed the bay for the next customer, although the space surrounding the station was empty. Lovech sometimes forgot to pressurize the docking bay for an incoming starship, leaving the bay open to space. Rexis dressed in a worn-out uniform from some forgotten military force, and he was always fidgeting with some tool or object. He carried a blaster on his hip, but there was rarely a power pack in it.

Lovers' Embrace, The
This was the name given to the period of Elrood's orbit when its two moons, Sharene and Lodos, and within a handspan of each other. This period was considered to be the best time to become engaged or married, and many romantic holidays were scheduled around this time. (PG3)

Lovers, The
This abstract sculpture was part of the collection maintained in the Galactic Museum by the Empire, during the height of the New Order. It resembled a pair of twisted, convoluted ribbons, and evoked strong sexual images to many viewers. (MBF)

Lovers, The
This was name used by the Yuuzhan Vong to describe Yun-Q'aah and Yun-Txiin. They were often depicted as the enemies of the Twin Gods, Yun-Harla and Yun-Yammka, and were considered the main allies of Yun-Ne'Shel. (EVC, NJOSB)

Loveti Moth Fiber
This sheer, lightweight material was very expensive, and was used to create some of the galaxy's most beautiful dresses. (SE)

Lovett, Hesha
This woman, a Captain in the Hapan Navy, was the first to intercept Jaina Solo and the stolen Ksstarr, following the Second Battle of Coruscant. (DJ)

Love-Wallop
A drug dispensed in pill form used as an aphrodisiac. (TME)

Lovik
This Mando'a word meant "knee." (OWS)

Lovolan
This small droid manufacturer catered to the needs of the wealthy inhabitants of the Core. While the automata produced by Lovolan were made with high-quality materials and were extremely reliable, they were also prohbitively expensive to the common being. (FTD)

Lovolol Cleaning Droid
This model of small, dome-shaped automaton was produced during the years that followed the Yuuzhan Vong War. Lovolol cleaning droids moved about on a small repulsorlift engine. (FJ3)

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

Low Bounce
Developed by the members of Twin Suns Squadron and their leader, Jaina Solo, the Low Bounce maneuver involved the firing of a huge missle at a Yuuzhan Vong capital ship. This missile was formed from a durable metal pipe which filled two-thirds full of large ball bearings. The rear third of the missile was filled with plasma explosives. When the plasma exploded, the ball bearings were superheated and flung out forward of the missile, lodging themselves into the yorik coral of the Yuuzhan Vong ship. These superhot ball bearing were the equivalent in mass and temperature to a proton torpedo, and forced the dovin basals of the warship to continually adjust their defensive screening. This allowed a wave of actual proton torpedoes to follow the ball bearing to their target. It was the actual proton torpedoes that did the most damage, tearing huge chunks of already-struck yorik coral from the capital ship. The resulting organic damage was a mortal wound to the living Yuuzhan Vong ship, which died as it tried to heal itself. More often than not, the Yuuzhan Vong commander ordered the self-destruction of his own ship, rather than have the vessel captured by the New Republic. The Low Bounce operation served to heighten Jaina's appearance as Yun-Harla made incarnate, as its effectiveness forced many Yuuzhan Vong commanders to wonder how the ball bearings got through their defenses. (EL2)

Low, The
This was the collective term used to describe those members of Yrashu society who were tainted by the Dark Side of the Force. They were tolerated by others, but were considered delinquents and beings of low character. (SWJ2, AE)

Low-Altitude Assault Transport (LAAT)
This was the generic form of gunship produced for the Army of the Republic by Rothana Heavy Engineering. There were several forms of the 17.4-meter-long vehicle, designated by their mission profile. The LAAT/i was used to deliver clone trooper infantry into battlezones. The LAAT/c was modified to transport AT-TE walkers into battle. The LAAT/v was a vehicle transport, with its hold being used to move speederbikes or other land vehicles to new locations. These ships could attain speeds near 920 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. Each gunship was armed with a wealth of weaponry, including four ball turret laser cannons, two mass-drive missile launchers, four ship-to-ground rockets on each wing, and a pair of chin-mounted laser cannons. (NEGV)

Lowan
This redheaded man was training to fly starfighters for the New Republic at the same time as Lara Notsil. Lowan had a very high opinion of himself, and was thoroughly obnoxious when he learned that Lara had been assigned to Atton Repness' training group. (IF)

Lo'wassa
This word from the Jawan language translated into Basic as "sail barge." (GPB)

Lowbacca
This ginger-furred Wookiee was one of Chewbacca's nephews. Lowie, as his friends called him, was somewhat gifted with the Force, and was allowed to enroll in Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. He was distinguished by the unique streak of black fur that ran around his chest and down his back. In addition to his connection to the Force, Lowbacca was quite talented with computers and the systems they controlled. Although trained as a jedi, Lowie had an angry streak that was discovered by Tamith Kai when she had to kidnap him to get to the Solo twins. She continually goaded Lowie at the Shadow Academy, trying to lead him down the path to the Dark Side. Lowie was eventually captured, but was rescued before he could be turned to the Dark Side. Lowie returned to Yavin 4, and created his own lightsaber of molten bronze light. Later, he returned to Kashyyyk to attend his sister, Sirrakuk, in her rite of passage to adulthood.

There, following an attack by the Shadow Academy, Lowie rescued Sirra as she battled the Nightsister Vonnda Ra in the depths of Kashyyk's jungle. He managed to save Sirra before a syren plant consumed her. Lowbacca then returned to Yavin 4, to continue his training as a Jedi Knight. With help from his friends, Lowie acquired the translator droid M-TD, which he strapped to his belt to facilitate communication with his non-Wookiee friends. Although he had several interesting adventures with Jacen and Jaina Solo, Lowie was totally unprepared for the arrival of the Rising Star, an interstellar skimmer owned by his sister's friend, Raabakyysh. She had once been quite fond of Lowie, and hoped to convince him to join the Diversity Alliance. Although Raaba's anti-human arguments were compelling, Lowie had a hard time reconciling her claims with the first-hand knowledge he had with the students at the Jedi praxeum. In order to gain a better perspective, Lowie agreed to accompany Raaba back to Kashyyyk.

After being reunited with his sister, Lowbacca accompanied Raaba to the Diversity Headquarters on Ryloth. He still could not swear his loyalty to Nolaa Tarkona and her ideals, and his faith in his friends remained quite strong. Thus, when he discovered the Rock Dragon in a hangar bay, Lowie had cause to wonder about the Diversity Alliance. The appearance of M-TD on Ryloth only added to his concerns, which were justified when the Wookiees learned that Jaina and Jacen Solo, Raynar Thul, and Tenel Ka were being held in the ryll mines. They eventually rescued the Solo children, and testified against the Diversity Alliance on Coruscant.

Following the death of Chewbacca at Sernipdal, Lowbacca and his cousin, Lumpawaroo, were chosen to continue serving out the life-debt to Han Solo and his family. Han, still grieving the loss of Chewbacca, asked them to wait until he had reconciled Chewie's death before taking over for him. Lowbacca was patient enough to wait for Han's decision, and spent much of his time watching over the Solo children. Lowbacca was one of the Jedi chosen for the assault on the Baanu Rass at Myrkr, and was one of the few Jedi to survive the destruction of the voxyn queen.

After the theft of the Ksstarr, Lowbacca set his mind to fathoming Yuuzhan Vong technology. With Jaina's help, they managed to decipher that every Yuuzhan Vong ship emitted a unique gravitic signature, which allowed the alien invaders to track each of their ships throughout the galaxy. As Jaina becamoe more and more driven to find a solution, Lowbacca feared that she might turn to the Dark Side of the Force in order to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong. However, he recognized that their work - coupled with that of Sinsor Khal on Gallinore - might help the New Republic defeat the Yuuzhan Vong. Lowbacca later served as one of Jaina Solo's Lieutenants in the Twin Suns Squadron, and was instrumental in the development of the Force-meld. During the Battle of Ebaq, Lowbacca was attacked on Ebaq 9 by the Yuuzhan Vong Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, after the Jedi confronted him in the mines. Lowbacca was speared through the shoulder by Tsavong Lah's staff of rank, removing him from battle as he tried to repair his vacuum suit.

When Jaina Solo defeated the Warmaster, Lowbacca was brought back to the surface and eventually recovered. During the final stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, after the living planet Zonama Sekot agreed to help bring about an end to the conflict, Lowbacca was one of several Jedi Knights were bonded to seed-partners and provided with Sekotan starships. As the many Jedi scattered into the galaxy to help with its rebuilding, Lowbacca joined his cousin Waroo in taking up Chewbacca's life debt to Han Solo. Five years later, when UnuThul sent out his call for help, Lowbacca was among seven young Jedi who dropped whatever mission they were currently on and traveled to the Unknown Regions to answer the call. During the defense of the moons Ruu and Zvbo, Lowbacca was forced to eject from his damaged starfighter, and was picked up by a Chiss warship before he could be rescued by his fellow Jedi. He was held prisoner until the conflict over Kr was resolved, with the Gorog nest being destroyed and the Qoribu hives being relocated to another world deeper in the Unknown Regions.

Lowbacca was then allowed to return to the Galactic Alliance, but only after Jagged Fel argued for his release. Because of his lack of contact with the Colony, Lowbacca didn't become a Joiner, although he continued to support the efforts of Jaina Solo and Zekk in helping the Killiks wage their war against the Chiss. To this end, Lowbacca and Tesar Sebatyne relayed the discussions of Master Skywalker and the new Jedi order to Lady Aryn Dro Thul, in an effort to keep Raynar's mother aware of any possible actions against him. When Luke discovered their duplicity, he reprimanded them but did not expel them from the order, recognizing that they were acting out of loyalty and not malice. Instead, he dispatched both of them to Dagobah for the duration of the conflict, so that they could meditate on what it meant to be a Jedi Knight.

Eventually, both Tesar and Lowbacca were allowed to rejoin the Jedi Order, and were among the many supporters of Master Skywalker's plan to break from the Galactic Alliance, during the weeks leading up to the Battle of Kuat. (HTF, SA, DK, DIV, DOG, JB, TEP, HT, SBS, DJ, Y, DW, UF, DN1, DN3, LF9)

Lowca
This Yuuzhan Vong warship was captured by the Jedi Knights near Talfaglio, as part of the defense of their base on Eclipse, some two years after the initial invasion of the galaxy. (SBS)

Lowen
This race of near-humans was native to the planet Low'n. They were easily distinguished from baseline human stock by the fleshy tendrils which hung from their shoulders and skull. The base of their skull was dominated by thick lumps, similar to - but smaller than - the lekku of the Twi'lek. (SWJ10)

Lower City
This was term used to describe the lower levels of the cityscape of the planet Taris, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. As the planet fell into disrepair, the wealthier and more powerful human natives escaped to the Upper City and left the Lower City to those they called the Outcasts. Crime and other illicit activities quickly gained footholds in the Lower City, and swoop gangs rose to power in an effort to control sections of the Lower City. When the surface of the planet was ravaged in a series of attacks by the ancient Sith Lords, the Lower City was spared a good deal of damage. However, with the Upper City in ruins, precious little in the way of sustenance was available to the inhabitants of the Lower City. While the Upper City struggled to rebuilt itself, the Lower City struggled just to survive. This trend continued for centuries, leaving the Lower City little more than a cesspool in the wake of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong. (KOTOR, LF2)

Lower City Cantina
This cantina, located on the planet Taris during the Great Sith War, was known as a hotspot for playing pazaak. (KOTOR)

Lower Deck
This cantina, located in the Port City levels of Bespin's Cloud City, was owned and operated by Brann Lo-Farr during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (RESB)

Lower Ring Expressway
This was one of the many thoroughfares that circled Bespin's Cloud City, allowing for transportation to a number of destinations in the city's lower section. Because it was located near the bottom of Cloud City, the Lower Ring Expressway was often the site of drag races and other illegal activities. (WOA34)

Lower Shadowlands
This was one section of the Shadowlands region of the planet Kashyyyk. A section of the Star Map was found in this area by a group of Jedi Knights, during the Great Sith War. (KOTOR)

Lowick
This ocean-covered world was the homeworld of the Pa'lowick race. An equatorial region provided coastal marshes and dense rain forests in which the Pa'lowick lived and hunted, and meandering ranges of mountains were scattered throughout the seas. (AE, NEGA)

Lowickan Asteroid Belt
This region of space debris was the only known source of Lowickan firegems. It was located in the Pa'Lowick System, near Kessel. (AE, TBSB)

Lowickan Firegems
The mining, sale, and distribution of these precious minerals was monopolized by the Empire, following the blockade of the Pa'Lowick System. They were known to be found in only one place: the Lowick Asteroid Belt, near the planet Lowick and in close proximity to Kessel. How or why these unusual gems formed was unknown, but they were usually deep red in color and seem to glow from within. The molecular structure of the firegem vibrates constantly, creating a heat source that makes the gems feel warm to the touch. Criminal and terrorist organizations discovered that the vibration of the firegem had an adverse reaction when placed near a hyperdrive reactor, causing the reactor to explode when the ship enters hyperspace. For this reason, they were outlawed during the Old Republic as well as the New Order. (TB, AE, TBSB, NEGA)

Lowickese
This was the native language of the Pa'lowick race. For many millennia, there was no written form of the language. However, after the introduction of technology to Lowick, the Pa'lowick adapted the Basic alphabet to fit their needs. This new, hybrid alphabet resembled gibberish to most other beings. (UANT, NEGA)

Lowland Clans
This was one of the primary clans of S'kytri which were native to the planet Skye. The Lowland Clans worked with the Highland Clans to rule Skye, with each clan providing a leader to the Supreme Council every forty-two years. Like the other clans, the Lowland Clans were formed from forty-two unique family groups. (GMR1)

Lowlands, The
This was the common name used by the inhabitants of the planet Lan Barell to describe the lower-altitude regions of the planet. These locales were little more than uninhabitable, wind-scoured wastelands that formed the vast "oceans" that separated plateaus and other rocky formations. The Lowlands were formed after the Qieg allowed Gaminne Group Incorporated to establish a human settlement on the planet. The Qieg had been slowly cutting down parts of the Cacti Forests for their own cities, and the humans brought large-scale mining and dingory farming to other regions. The need for additional space meant that large tracts of the forests were cut down, eliminating a large portion of the natural vegetation. The loss of plant life left the ground to be swept clear by windstorms, resulting in the desertification of much of the planet. The only forests to survive were located on the various plateaus that dotted the landscape, leaving The Lowlands as desolate regions.

Once the Barellians realized that the deserts of The Lowlands were spreading, they began developing drought-resistant plants that could be introduced into the desert, where they took hold and helped to limit the spread of the desert. However, sections of The Lowlands were set aside for the Qieg, who viewed a trek through the wind-swept desert as a rite of passage to adulthood. These treks included a visit to the shrines of certain Qieg monks, who were the only members of their race to make their homes in The Lowlands. (SWJ1, OWS)

Lowle
This given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Lowwel
This pirate and his band were known for their "humane" treatment of the beings onboard the ships they ambushed. Lowwel was known to have bragged in Gundark's Gear Datalog that he used a CS-12 Stun Master to incapacitate the crew, so that he could steer the ship to his waiting friends. This allowed them to steal the loot without killing anyone. Lowwel claimed that he and his associates were the thieves who stole the prototype of the SoroSuub NLZ5-11 Dragon suit of power armor. (GUN)

Lox
This man worked for Yasil Seneria, and witnessed the rescue of Yasil's daughter by a member of the lepusa species. (COG)

Loxizhra
This desert world was the second planet of the Polith System, located in the Inner Rim. It was orbited by five moons. (PH)

Loyal Defender
This Galactic Alliance warship was one of many that saw action during the Second Battle of Fondor. The Loyal Defender was attacked by the ships of the Maw Irregular Fleet, which used a metal-crystal phase shifter to seriously degrade the integrity of the Loyal Defender's hull. The ship took a pounding, and her commander was forced to issue an order to abandon ship. (LF8)

Loyal Protector
This was the rank held by Warlan Tosk, during the time he served as Senator Lavira Wren's personal bodyguard. (LFCW)

Loyalist Committee
This committee was formed by Chancellor Palpatine, in anticipation of negotiations with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, shortly before the Clone Wars. Made up of ten Senators, including Bail Organa of Alderaan, Ask Aak of Malastare, Ister Paddie of Sermeris, Orn Free Taa of Ryloth, and Padme' Amidala of Naboo, the Loyalist Committee was established to ensure that a Republic-wide viewpoint was taken when dealing with the separatists. Many beings accused Palpatine of forming the Committee to sway the vote on the Military Creation Act, although even Senator Amidala refused to support that claim. In the wake of the Battle of Geonosis, Chancellor Palpatine told Senator Organa that the Loyalist Committee had outlived its usefulness, and needed to be replaced by a committee that would focus on the safety and security of the Republic. He asked Senator Organa to lead this new committee, the Security Committee, which would comprise of a small number of Senators who would be chosen by Organa for the role. (HNN4, CWWS)

Loyalists
This faction of the Fishface race believed in relaxing the ideals of their forebearers in order to conform more closely to the ideals of the Old Republic. Shortly before the Battle of Endor, the patriarch of Ootoola and his wife - both Loyalists - were killed by Revolutionary Purist Council thugs. Only their daughter Foolookoola survived, and was smuggled off the planet to Dur Sabon. (T3)

Loyalists
This was the term applied to those beings who supported the continued existence of the Old Republic, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The Loyalists, who supported Chancellor Palpatine, opposed the Separatists and those planets which chose to secede from the Republic. (HNN4)

Loyalists
This was the name used to describe the small band of rebels that opposed the Imperial occupation of their homeworld of Jabiim. (SWESF)

l'Quar'ta
This was the primary continent found on the planet Guiteica. (AIR)

Lrashtash
Native to the planet Usean II, this large herbivore was known for the huge teeth it possessed. Many xenobiologists hypothesized that the incisors which scissored in front of its mouth were merely a bluff, evolved over time to scare away potential predators. The incisors swiveled on temporomandibular joints, but could not open wide enough to be a real threat. Wilek Nereus collected a set of these unusual teeth, claiming that they came from the "Useani camnzin." (TBSB)

LREED
This cargo droid worked at the Nadir Corporation's facility on Travnin, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (CH68)

L-s 4.9
This heavy-duty laser cannon was produced by Sienar Fleet Systems during the height of the New Order. Some 2,500 of these weapons were installed aboard the first Death Star. (CCS)

L-s1
This was the designation of Seinar Fleet System's Laser Cannon, used on the TIE Fighter and the TIE Bomber. The only drawback to the L-s1 was that it tended to overheat, and was eventually replaced by the L-s7.2. (SCRE, JKG, SWG2P, TSC)

LS-121
This gold-plated automaton was one of the many protocol droids used by the Metatheran Cartel, during the Cartel's attempt to take control of the economy of the planet Cularin, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. LS-121 was later captured by the underground resistance that tried to thwart the Cartel's efforts. (EOS3)

LS-150
This was a model of heavy repeater gun, also known as an ACP weapon, that was developed to fire highly-accelerated charged particle beams. An immense weapon that required two hands to operate, the LS-150 was a favorite weapon among the Trandoshan mercenaries who were active during the Clone Wars. (LAWS)

L-s7.2
Designed by Seinar Fleet Systems, this laser cannon was created for interoperability with any model of TIE fighter. It was also designed to eliminate the overheating problems encountered with the L-s1 cannon. Its standard configuration allowed it to be easily deployed throughout the Imperial fleet. (CCG11, JKG)

Lsu, Raskta
This female Echani was one of the many Jedi Masters who were part of the Army of Light, during the final years of the New Sith Wars. She was named in honor of Raskta Fenni, a note Echani duelist, and she lived up to her namesake by becoming the Jedi Order's most skilled martial artist. She was one of the few Jedi who ever attained the title of Jedi Weapons Master, and spent her life studying the ways in which the Force could be used to hone her skills as a combat expert. She hoped to one day surpass the skills of her namesake.

A veteran of the Battle of Ruusan, Master Raskta wielded a pair of blue lightsabers in combat. She rarely wore any form of body armor, preferring to rely of her weapons skills to both terrify and defeat her opponents. Despite her lack of body armor, Master Raskta was believed to have as many Sith opponents as were killed by the detonation of the thought bomb.

When Lord Valenthyne Farfalla put together a mission to capture Darth Bane on Tython, Master Raskta agreed to be part of the team, and volunteered her starship, the Justice Crusader, to get them to the planet as swiftly as possible. She took her former student, Sarro Xaj, with her, knowing that his skills would be a valuable part of the team. At first, the battle between Master Raskta and Farfalla and Darth Bane seemed to in the favor of the Jedi, who were able to strike at many parts of the Sith Lord's body. However, Master Raskta discovered that Bane's orbalisk armor was all but impenetrable, even under the most intense lightsaber attacks she could muster. When Bane finally began to assert himself, Raskta and Farfalla were forced to defend Master Worror, who was handling the Jedi battle meditation. They called for aid from Johun Othone, who discovered that there was a small gap in the orbalisks near Bane's wrist.

Although Othone's strike injured Bane momentarily, the orbalisks healed him almost as quickly, and he turned on Master Raskta. When Bane's apprentice, Zannah, killed Sarro Xaj, she was able to join the fight, catching Master Raskta off-guard and running her through with her lightsaber. Master Lsu died almost instantly from the injury. (DBRT)

This starship was built by Rendili StarDrive. (TSK)

L'tiri Peaks
This was the northern-most mountain chain found on the planet Dolomar. (TTSB)

L'toth, Been
This Dornean was the son of Kiles L'toth, and eventually took his father place at the head of the Astrographic Survey Institute when Kiles assumed command of the Fifth Fleet. Been and his teams were charged with discovering the exact origins of the Yuuzhan Vong, and felt that they had to be extra-galactic in origin. L'toth rejected the theory that the Vong had evolved in the Tingel Arm, citing the area's proximity to the Corporate Sector and the Imperial Remnant, and pointing out that an advanced civilization so close to those densely-populated areas would have been discovered years ago. (HT)

L'toth, Kiles
This Dornean was the New Republic's associate director of the Astrogation Survey Institute about twelve years after the Battle of Endor. Kiles had previously served with Etahn A'baht in the Dornean Navy, and commanded the Braha'tok during the Battle of Endor. Kiles tried to help A'baht by sending the Astrolabe into the Farlax Sector to scout out the Yevetha. After Etahn A'Baht was relieved of his duties, L'toth was reinstated as a member of the New Republic military, and was promoted to commander of the Fifth Fleet. (BTS, HT, SWDB)

This was word used to describe the Sebiri holy grounds. The word L'ttuuk'chk translated literally into Basic as "forbidden land." (DARK)

Lu, Jambe
This young human was a member of the Jedi Order's Agricultural Corps, during the final years of the Old Republic. Lu and Nam Poorf were among the small group of Jedi that was rescued by Roan Shryne and the crew of the Drunk Dancer, in the wake of the Clone Wars. They had been on an agricultural mission to Bonadan, and were returning home, when the command was issued to clone troopers across the galaxy to execute Order 66. After escaping the attack, the two humans heard the 913 call that was issued by Siadem Forte, and joined the Jedi Knight on Dellalt before fleeing and being rescued by Shryne. The group managed to survive a brief stopover on Jaguada's moon, before Olee Starstone set off on her own, and Shryne remained with the crew of the Drunk Dancer. Although Lu had deferred to Shryne's leadership, he chose to follow Starstone's lead and set off with her to locate any other surviving Jedi. On Kashyyyk, the group of Jedi hoped to learn more about the fates of Yoda, Quinlan Vos, and Luminara Unduli, but were instead confronted by Darth Vader himself. After Vader injured Klossi Anno and killed both Forte and Iwo Kulka, Lu and Poorf bravely tried to attack the Dark Lord themselves. Their lack of combat skills was immediately apparent, as Vader cut off Lu's right arm and Poorf's right leg in a single slash of his crimson lightsaber. Both Lu and Poorf were rescued by Starstone and the crew of the Drunk Dancer. After escaping Kashyyyk, Jambe decided to apply to the Imperial Academy as a pilot, where he hoped to learn as much as he could about the Empire and sow dissent from within. (RDV)

This clone trooper cadet was one of many who were being trained to serve as clone troopers, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Known as something of a loner, Cadet Lucky was stationed aboard the cruiser Endurance, where he and other clones were given first-hand experience aboard a working ship during wartime. Lucky kept mainly to himself, although he was distinguished by his skills with the starship's weapons. Unknown to his fellow cadets, however, was the fact that Lucky was actually Boba Fett, the son of Jango Fett. Working with Aurra Sing, Fett had infiltrated the clone training program in an attempt to avenge the death of his father at the hands of Jedi Master Mace Windu.

It was later converted into a hotel and casino by a group of Arconan investors who thought Tatooine would develop a huge tourist business. When the Arconans went bankrupt, the Lady Valarian took over the casino and hotel. She tried to escape Jabba the Hutt's prying eyes and run her own business, but Jabba managed to secure a percentage of the Lucky Despot's profits.

Lucky Star, The
Built from the hull of a decommissioned freighter, this casino hotel was the sister to Mos Eisley's Lucky Despot. Located in the city of Mos Entha, the Lucky Star was owned and operated by Shiri'ani, who was one of Lady Valarian's most trusted subordinates. Because of Valarian's negotiations with the New Republic, Shiri'ani was not required to pay any form of taxes to the New Republic based on the operations or income from the Lucky Star, a fact that made the bottom line of the business quite spectacular. In order to draw a larger tourist trade, Shiri'ani promoted the Lucky Star as the only place that off-worlders could experience the "real Tatooine." To this end, she hired a select group of local criminals to serve as regulars. In addition to its legitimate operations, the Lucky Star also served as a base of operations for Shiri'ani's smuggling and gambling organizations.

Note that Star Wars: Galaxies indicates that The Lucky Star was located in Mos Eisley. (SOT, SWGAL)

Lucrehulk-class Core Ship
Developed by Hoersh-Kessel Drive Incorporated, this spherical core ship served as the central command center for the Trade Federation's hoop-shaped LH-3210 freighters and battleships. The 696-meter-diameter ship was designed to detach from the main freighter, allowing personnel and troops to travel to a planet's surface while the main freighter section remained in space. Each Lucrehulk-class core descended into a specially-designed silo for loading and maintenance.

280 light laser cannons were scattered across the surface of the core for defense, allowing the ship to travel to and from a planet's surface in relative security. The core ship required a crew of 60 officers and 3,000 droids, with another 200,000 maintenance droids ensuring that all systems were operative. Staterooms located within the center of the core ship provided living space for up to 6,000 trade representatives, allowing the Trade Federation to transport guests in relative ease. Hangars and docking space were found in the outer layers, allowing the Federation to move MTTs, AATs, and entire droid armies to a planet's surface.

The mission profile of the Lucrehulk-class core ship required minimal drive systems, so each was equipped with heavy-duty ion drives and repulsorlift engines.

In the wake of the Clone Wars, many of these vessels were decommissioned, and more than a few of them were acquired by the growing Rebel Alliance. Many of these were lightly armed, since the Alliance couldn't afford to re-arm them. Instead, the interior spaces of these ships were reconfigured to carry X-Wing fighters into battle.

Snitkin asked Jabba to keep the Yuzzum around as a marksman, citing the deaths of the three guards. Jabba agreed, and turned Wam over to Snitkin to manage. It was Snitkin who gave the Yuzzum the nickname "Blam," during one of his smuggling runs on which Wam eliminated several rivals with blasts from his rifle. Upon returning to Jabba's palace on Tatooine, Wam became fast friends with Joh Yowza, and chose to remain in the palace during the execution of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo.

Luke Skywalker and the Dragons of Tatooine
This holothriller was produced during the months following the Battle of Endor.

Luke Skywalker and the Jedi's Revenge
This was one of the many fictional holothrillers that were produced during the months following the Battle of Endor. Its story was loosely based on the life of Luke Skywalker, but the plot involved him slaughtering Darth Vader - Skywalker's own father - in an attempt to avenge the death of Emperor Palpatine. These kinds of holothrillers were mass-produced after the destruction of the second Death Star, taking advantage of the popularity of the heroes of the Galactic Civil War. Few beings realized, however, that this particular holothriller had been created by Lord Shadowspawn as a way of recruiting former Imperial personnel to his cause. The basic plot revolved around the premise that Darth Vader had chosen to betray Palpatine, the very man who had rescued him from the ravages of the Clone Wars, at the Battle of Endor. The story claimed that Palpatine had called Luke Skywalker to Endor in order to rescue the youth from the "evil web of lies" that the Rebel Alliance had woven around him. In this was, Palpatine hoped to avenge of the death of the Jedi hero, Anakin Skywalker. Vader was portrayed as a scheming madman who believed that he would someday succeed Palpatine, and who went into a killing rage when Palpatine revealed that Luke Skywalker was his chosen successor. Vader lashed out and killed Palpatine, hoping to twist Luke to his own evil dreams. Luke, however, only saw the dead body of Palpatine, a man who had tried to befriend him, and killed Vader to avenge Palpatine. The aftermath of the story claimed that Luke Skywalker had then run back to the rebels who had deceived him, believing that he had failed to save Palpatine, and that he deserved to be nothing more than an outlaw.

Led by Maarek Stele, a group of Imperial gunboats investigated the Lulsla and gathered information on its location and capabilities, then leapt back into hyperspace. Planning to attack the Lulsla commenced immediately, while the Alliance personnel aboard the ship made plans to defend themselves. The space near its rendazvous point was littered with mines, but these proved to be no match for the skill and firepower of Stele's forces. The Lulsla was eventually destroyed, and her commander tried to escape aboard one of the shuttles in the Derris group, but was captured by the Imperials (TIE, TIEP)

Lumbra
This hulking, black-haired Gotal worked as one of Haka Hai's chief lieutenants, during the era surrounding the Clone Wars. Lumbra oversaw the operations of Haka Hai's base on Circarpous V, and was concerned when his master began negotiating with Schurk-Heren for a rare artifact. His concern, though, was only aimed at making sure that Haka Hai ensured that payment was delieved to Schurk-Heren before the artifact was exchanged, since Lumbra had set his own plans in motion to steal the artifact for himself and those criminals who supported him. The theft set off a three-way firefight between Lumbra's men, Haka Hai's retainers, and the crew of the Uhumele. Lumbra's planning paid off when he ordered his men to disable Haka Hai's other ships, ensuring that they could lift off without worrying about a pursuit.

However, when Lumbra refused to tell the crew what was in the crate, he prompted Gamy to sneak into the cargo hold to look for himself. The crate had been booby-trapped, and exploded when Gamy opened it. The explosion tore a hole in the ship's underside, forcing Lumbra and the survivors to land on a remote moon. There, they discovered the presence of Jedi Masters K'Kruhk and Chase Piru, as well as a group of Jedi younglings. Lumbra was unaware of the fact that they were Jedi until Master Piru used the Force in an effort to prevent the criminals from taking the younglings prisoner. Callow shot Master Piru, and they left her for dead. However, she survived the blast, and was healed by K'Kruhk. The two Jedi then set out to rescue the younglings, and were able to locate Lumbra's camp. When K'Kruhk hid in a remote location, he began firing arrows at the camp. Master Piru used the Force to direct the arrows to their targets, and several of Lumbra's thugs were killed before Lumbra could recover. Callow found Piru's location, and Lumbra tried to use her as a living shield. Master K'Kruhk then went into a battle rage, and killed Lumbra and his thugs before regaining control of himself. (DT2)

Lumchugger's Hub

Lume Bug
This species of insect was native to the moon of Sulon. (SFE)

Lume Rock
This unusual form of rock gives off light and heat, but was not hot enough to burn flesh. The B'omarr monks used to line walkways with them to convince younger monks that they had sufficient mind control to walk over a bed of hot coals. Although this practice was deceitful, it helped the monks sort out potential candidates and gave new monks a sense of accomplishment if they walked across them. (GOF7)

Lumea
This orange star was orbited by the twelve planets of the Sevarcos System. In between the sixth and seventh planets was a vast asteroid belt, believed to have been the remnants of a thirteenth planet in the system. Of the twelve planets in the system, four were formed from solid material while eight were gaseous. (SWJ2)

Lumelier
This wondrous form of crystal chandelier was hand-crafted by artisans on the planet Hapes. (LF6)

Lumen Globe
This was a stationary form of light source, produced during the last decades of the Old Republic to be inexpensive and reliable. (BF4)

Lumen Reed
This form of bioluminescent reed was grown by the Yuuzhan Vong. Lumen reeds were often grown along pathways, so that their pale blue luminescence provided light during the night. (FP)

Lumguzzling
This was the name of a popular drinking game, although many participants considered it a "sport." The idea behind lumguzzling was simple: contestants tried to down more lum than their opponents. The advantage that lumguzzlers had over other drinkers was that lum could be consumed in huge quantities without causing an overdose. Nevertheless, lum was still a powerful intoxicant, and often many a lumguzzler to experience raging hangovers the next morning.

Depending on the bar, contestants had to consume large glasses or entire pitchers of lum at each turn, and only those drinkers who remained upright and conscious were allowed to continue. (GG9, OWS)

Lumia'Silbossa
This purple-skinned, female Twi'lek was one of the first inhabitants of The Enclave to be saved by Jedi Master Vhiin Thorla, during the era of the Clone Wars. Although it was unknown how she managed to find her way to The Enclave, Lumia soon became the settlement's healer, tending to the wounds of those Twi'leks who were rescued by Master Thorla. She was also sensitive to the Force, which allowed her to better tend to the needs of her patients. (TS)

Lumi-marker
This was a generic term used to describe any writing instrument that used bright ink to create text. Lumi-markers were used to highlight specific words, and could be used on dark surfaces. (RCTC)

Luminous Gardens Spa
Located on a hillside above the Boiling Sea, on the planet Drall, the Luminous Gardens was a health spa that catered to all manner of beings. Masseuses from a wide variety of rces were employed att he Luminous Gardens, providing an extensive clientele with expensive relaxation and makeovers. (CCW, LF5)

Luminous Star
This Seltiss-1 Hutt Caravel was owned by Skydove Freight, and was based on the moon of Nar Shaddaa during the early years of the New Order. (TF)

Lumiya
When the Imperial operative Shira Elan Colla Brie was trained in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force by Darth Vader, she shed her old name and became the Dark Jedi Lumiya. Shira had infiltrated the Alliance at Vader's orders, in an effort to capture Luke Skywalker. Luke shot Shira's TIE Fighter down, and Shira barely survived. After being fitted with cybernetic implants and healing in a bacta tank, she emerged as the woman known as Lumiya. Lumiya's weapon of choice was not the lightsaber, though, but a new weapon known as the lightwhip. She discovered the lightwhip while searching through an ancient Sith tome during the Battle of Endor.

Vader tried to keep her training a secret from Emperor Palpatine, but eventually had to reveal her existence. In order to keep favor with Palpatine, Vader presented Lumiya to the Emperor as a candidate to be one of the Emperor's Hands. In this role, Lumiya was dispatched to serve as the leader of a group of Imperial soldiers on Herdessa, where she had posed as a sophisticated cyborg and earned the role as chief of planetary security. Shortly after Leia Organa's arrival on Herdessa, Lumiya revealed herself as a Dark Side adept.

Following the death of the Empire, Lumiya tried to defeat the New Republic with the help of the alien race known as the Nagai, after training her band on the planet Kinooine. There, she confronted Luke Skywalker again, explaining that it was he who killed Shira Brie and started her turn toward the Dark Side. She also tried to use their enemies, the Tofs, in a similar effort. Each time, she was defeated and left for dead, but her incredible strength and cunning allowed her to escape and survive.

She was a force that skirted the New Republic, striking when it pleases her against remote locations. For several years, she had control of a small fleet of warships, and was supported by a contingent of crimson-armored stormtroopers. It was later discovered that Lumiya had trained the likes of Flint and Carnor Jax, developing their dark powers much the same way Darth Bane trained his progeny: with just two Sith magicians, a master and an apprentice.

For many years after the Battle of Endor, Lumiya disappeared from the galactic scene, until the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy. During this time, she discovered the location of the Mecrosa Order's cache of Sith lore, and dedicated herseld to learning what she could from it. When the Yuuzhan Vong launched their attack, Lumiya made a bold attempt to steal a number of bafforr trees from a laboratory on Yaga Minor, in an effort to develop her own weapons against the alien invaders. Her assault on Yaga Minor coincided with a similar mission led by the Yuuzhan Vong. Lumiya's forces battled the Yuuzhan Vong warriors to a standstill, allowing the Imperials to drive off both attackers and maintain the bafforr tree lab.

She then disappeared again, resurfacing some ten years after the end of the Yuuzhan Vong war as Brisha Syo. Using this alias, she lured Jacen Solo to an asteroid in the MZX32905 System, where she revealed her true identity after they located the spirit of Darth Vectivus. She then explained that she wanted to Jacen to join her, not to become an evil dicator, but to study Sith lore as Darth Vectivus did. Her reasoning was that Jacen had not yet been corrupted by the light side of the Force, as had Luke Skywalker, and that he could avoid the temptations of the dark side.

She then proposed to Jacen that his former teacher, Vergere, was not what she seemed to be. In fact, according to Lumiya, Vergere had been studying Sith lore under Count Dooku, which led them both into contact with Darth Sidious. Sidious accepted them as a candidates for apprenticeship, and Vergere discovered he was truly evil. She tried to kill him, but Sidious survived. He then sent his agents after Vergere, forcing her into hiding on Zonama Sekot. Jacen refused to see how this made Vergere a Sith, although Lumiya claimed that she was a Sith in the mold of Darth Vectivus. However, Jacen also came to see that there was some truth to her words, when his visions of the future involved his killing of Master Skywalker.

When Jacen chose to leave her in order to meditate on what he had heard, Lumiya held onto the belief that he would return and take his place as a Sith, a belief that became more true as the days and weeks passed. Eventually, Jacen called out to her and asked for assistance in becoming a Sith, confident that he would not make the same mistakes his grandfather, Anakin Skywalker, had made. He secreted Lumiya away in a Zorp House apartment near the Well of the World Brain on Coruscant, where she could continue his training and assist him in his work as the leader of the Galactic Alliance Guard. She explained to Jacen that he had been the culmination of Vergere's search for the ideal candidate to become a Sith.

Unknown to Jacen, Lumiya took on Alema Rar as a second student, although she knew that the Twi'lek lacked any real power that might challenge Jacen's right to lead the Sith. Lumiya explained to Alema that, even should she die, the Sith plan would continue on, hinting at the existence of a larger group of Sith in the galaxy. The pair managed to ambush Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker on Roqoo Depot, shortly after an assassination attempt on the life of the Hapan Queen Mother, Tenel Ka. The Skywalker had planned to meet their son, Ben, on the station, but instead were confronted by Lumiya and Alema Rar.

While the Twi'lek attacked Mara, Lumiya squared off with Luke. Her use of the lightwhip gave her an advantage, although Luke's shoto proved more than effective. However, in the heat of the battle, Luke managed to grab a discarded blaster and fire three shots into Lumiya's chest. Believing her to be dead, Luke investigated her body, only to find that Lumiya had wired herself to a pack of explosives. If she were to die, the dead-man switch that monitored her heart would set the explosives off. Luke and Mara only barely escaped before the blast occurred, and they fled Roqoo Depot believing that Lumiya and Alema Rar had died in the blast.

Lumiya managed to escape, and returned to Coruscant to recuperate. During this time, she came to wonder about Ben Skywalker's ability to serve as Jacen's future apprentice. She hired Byalfin Dyur and his goons to kill Skywalker during his mission to recover the Amulet of Kalara, and was surprised when he returned alive and in possession of a Sith Meditation Sphere. She commandeered the sphere for herself, after it greeted her as a Sith. Her concerns about Skywalker were only strengthened by the sphere, which agreed that he wasn't as strong as Lumiya had believed. She also began to view Alema Rar as a liability, since the Twi'lek's motivations seemed to be directed at the wrong goals.

Meanwhile, Jacen continued to work behind the scenes to gain power, and Lumiya knew that her usefulness to Jacen was coming to an end. She realized that there would come a time when she would be expendable, having given everything should could to help him complete his journey to the Dark Side. It was during this period of self-discovery that Lumiya also discovered that Jacen had had a daughter with Tenel Ka, and she believed that his daughter would be the sacrifice he would have to make to complete his training as a Sith.

Out of pity or concern, Lumiya followed Jacen to the Hapes Cluster, where she found him in a starfighter duel with Mara Jade Skywalker. Lumiya managed to crack the cockpit of Mara's StealthX fighter, forcing her to land on Kavan. Lumiya would have continued the fight, but found that the Sith Meditation Sphere she was flying in no longer responded to her commands. It had stopped obeying her at the urging of Ben Skywalker, who briefly controlled the unusual ship until he felt his mother's death. In that brief instant, Lumiya was able to regain control of the sphere, and she followed Jacen to Ziost. There, she learned that he had killed Mara Jade Skywalker, and Lumiya realized that she had to intervene if Jacen was to succeed. She agreed to confront Luke Skywalker and claim that she had killed Mara, to throw him off of Jacen's trail.

Luke managed to track her to Terephon, where he forced her to land and confront him. Lumiya drew upon the Force to make her claim of killing Mara as truthful as possible, ensuring that Luke would attack her. In a brief struggle, Luke pushed her to the edge of a mesa, but refused to let her fall. Instead, he drew his lightsaber and beheaded her, believing in his heart that he had avenged the death of his wife. (GAL3, GMR5, MC88, SWDB, GMR8, MC95, MC107, OWS, LF1, LF2, LF3, LF4, LF5, EGF)

Lummus
This large, hulking alien was a member of Nevo's gang. Lummus questioned the intelligence of hunting down Boba Fett, even if Darth Vader himself gave the order. Lummus was killed by Fett on Maryx Minor, after Nevo tried to apprehend the bounty huner. (EOE)

Lumni
This form of lichen lived in the caverns of the planet Hoth. (BHAS)

Lumni-spice
The rarest form of spice in the galaxy, it was found only on Hoth, deep in the caves of the dragon-slug. The combination of Hoth's environment and the presence of the dragon-slug made lumni-spice difficult to harvest and expensive to purchase. (CSW)

Lumpacca
This was Lumpawarrump's alter ego, used while he was playing Galactic Rebels. The name was a combination of his own name and that of his father, Chewbacca. (AFA)

Lumpawaroo
This was the name chosen by Chewbacca's son Lumpawarump, after the youth passed his Test of Ascension while rescuing Han Solo from the Pride of Yevetha. The familiar part of the name, Waroo, meant "son of courage" in the Wookiee language, an appellation that Chewbacca heartily agreed with. Thus, he preferred to be called Waroo among his friends and family.

Following the death of Chewbacca at Sernipdal, Lumpawaroo and his cousin, Lowbacca, were chosen to continue serving out the life-debt to Han Solo and his family. Han, still grieving the loss of Chewbacca, asked them to wait until he had reconciled Chewie's death before taking over for him. After the Yuuzhan Vong surrender at Coruscant, and following the dedication of a portrait of Chewbacca at the Thiss landing platform, Waroo and Lowbacca took up Chewbacca's life debt to Han Solo.

Years later, Waroo served as a guide for Han and Leia Solo, when they secretly traveled to Kashyyyk in an effort to convince the Wookiees to secede from the Galactic Alliance. When Jacen Solo launched his attack on Kashyyyl, Waroo joined Han and Leia aboard the Millennium Falcon, helping pilot the ship while the group worked to put out the forest fires caused by Jacen's attacks. (TT, UF, LF6, LF7)

Lumpawarrump
This Wookiee was Chewbacca's son. As a youth, his name was often shortened to just Lumpy. He was a large Wookiee, like his father, but was reserved and quiet because he had been raised by his mother and grandfather while Chewbacca was fufilling his life-debt to Han Solo. When Chewbacca finally was given the time to return to Kashyyyk - several years after the formation of the New Republic - he worked with Lumpy to ready the child for the Test of Ascension. The first Test on Kashyyyk was interrupted when Chewbacca learned that Han Solo had been captured by the Yevetha. Chewbacca left to rescue him, taking along Lumpy, Jowdrrl, Dryanta, and Shoran as his soldiers.

When Shoran was shot during the initial firefight with the Pride of Yevetha, Lumpawarump took his place. He himself took a blaster bolt while rescuing Solo, but he continued the effort without complaining. The young Wookiee's heroic efforts during the rescue earned him the baldrick of adulthood. He adopted the adult name of Lumpawaroo after passing the Test of Ascension, although he preferred to be called Waroo. (WSB, TT, LF6)

Lumpen
This small creature was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong to serve as a form of identification. Resembling a fist-sized nugget of flesh and fur, the lumpen's bodily fluids contained special chemicals that signified an individual's authority to access certain areas. When squeezed, the lumpen exuded its fluids onto a piece of parchment, which could be read for the proper signs of identification. (UF)

Lumphead
This was a derogatory nickname used by the Imperial forces that occupied Monor II, to describe a Sunesi adult. (SWJ10)

Lumrunner
This term was used either to compliment an individual or deride him. In its complimentary form, a lumrunner was an individual who can perform heroic tasks and make them look simple. In its derogatory form, a lumrunner was someone who avoids risks at all costs, taking the jobs which were easy and have little risk. (SWJ9)

Lumwarrump

Lunar Tide
This New Republic frigate was part of the forces which retreated to Borleias, in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant. (EL1)

Lunasa
This female being was a noted bounty hunter who operated during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. She was distinguished by her body armor, which appeared to be Mandalorian in origin. Lunasa was part of an unlikely group that was put together by Magus to hunt down Talesan Fry, after the young boy discovered their plans to assassinate twenty galactic leaders at a conference on Rondai-2. In order to infiltrate the Ulta Center, Lunasa cut and dyed her hair to make her appear to be a Rondai. Although the bounty hunters successfully get inside the security at the Ulta Center, they found themselves pursued by a group of Jedi Knights. Adi Gallia managed to pin down Lunasa and forced her to surrender, and she was taken into custody for later questioning. (SOJ)

Lunatic
This was the name given to the remote-controlled machine created by Cubber Daine, Kell Tainer, Voort saBinring, and Eurrsk Thri'ag while they were part of Wraith Squadron. The Lunatic was created to provide a distraction for the Wraiths to escape from Xobome 6, shortly after Apwar Trigit attacked Folor. The Lunatic was built from a smuggling compartment, to which the Wraiths attached an R2 unit, a power gnerator, and a laser cannon. It was designed to resemble floating debris, while masking the presence of the pilot inside. Roughly the size of a large coffin, the Lunatic also was "piloted" by Voort saBinring, who volunteered to fly it because his fat-covered body would protect him from the cold, since the Lunatic would not have much in the way of life support. The Lunatic would be left adrift in space near Xobome 6, to be discovered by Trigit and the Implacable, but was instead caught by one of Trigit's CR90 corvettes, the Night Caller. Voort managed to infiltrate the ship's bridge and subdue its crew, capturing the ship for the New Republic. (WS)

Luna-weed
The leaves of this plant were often dried and chewed, often causing the user to act incoherently. Many beings believed that luna-weed had a numbing effect on the body, and chewed it to ease the pain of an injury. The name of the plant stemmed from the fact that its burgundy leaves only grew in the moonlight. (MC10, SWI89, OWS)

Lundi, Murk
This Quermian, born on the planet Ploo II, was a noted professor teaching galactic history on Coruscant during the years preceding the Battle of Naboo. He was distinguished from other Quermians by the black apparatus which covered his left eye. Doctor Lundi was something of an expert on the lore of the ancient Sith, and his lectures on their magic and the Dark Side of the Force were extremely popular with much of the galaxy, although the Jedi Council refused to comment on his theories. He even went so far as to create a communications network between various sects of Sith devotees, providing himself with easier access to their information.

Among his most controversial theories was the statement that the Sith - or any form of evil Force users - would continue to exist, so long as the Force itself demanded balance. One of his students, a youth named Norval, listened intently to Doctor Lundi's words, as did another student named Omal. Much of Lundi's teachings were recorded in what became known as The Lundi Series, which provided the modern Jedi with an insight in the ways of the Sith.

Lundi took took a sabbatical some six years before the Battle of Naboo, in an effort to recover the Sith Holocron which was believed to exist at the bottom of the planet's oceans. Norval, sensing the power of the Holocron, traveled to Kodai and tried to take it for himself, but the Holocron was lost in the struggle to control it. The appearance of Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, forced Norval to flee. However, Lundi was captured by the Jedi and held prisoner on Coruscant.

He languished in prison for ten years, going slowly insane, until the Jedi decided to return to Kodai and attempt to recover the Holocron again. This time, Doctor Lundi was accompanied by Obi-Wan and his own apprentice, Anakin Skywalker. Anakin's own growing power frightened Doctor Lundi, who began to die after realizing that the Holocron would never be his. Despite the fact that the Jedi were able to recover the Holocron from Norval, Doctor Lundi died shortly afterward, an insane being who had gone slowly mad. (JAF, OWS, NEGA, EGF)

Lundi Series, The
This was the title of a series of lectures that were presented by noted scholar Murk Lundi, during the final decades of the Old Republic, on various aspects of the Jedi Order and the ancient Sith. The veracity of The Lundi Series was often called into question by scholars, since very little of Lundi's research appeared to have included actual sources. Few references were cited, and many pieces of data were apparently fabricated by Lundi himself. It wasn't until the Wavlud Manuscript was discovered that Lundi's work was finally supported by another source. (OWS, EGF)

Lungfish
An air-breathing fish native to the planet Calamari. (DU)

Lungworm
This Yuuzhan Vong bio-construct was created to allow an individual to be able to breathe oxygen in a hostile environment. The worm, carried in a coil on the user's back, was connected to the mouth with a hard-shelled form of gnullith. As part of its natural metabolism, the lungworm produced breathable oxygen, which was expelled and collected in a specialized organ for passage to the gnullith. (EVR)

Lunie
This was the somewhat derogatory nickname used by Bog Divinian to refer to his own son, Lune Oddo Divinian. (LJ8)

Lunis
This male Weequay was one of the many Jedi Masters who were actively teaching when the Clone Wars erupted, forcing him to become a warrior. Master Lunis and his Padawan, Obs Kaj, were dispatched to Katanos VII to investigate alleged cloning activities taking place on the planet. Although Stiv Kram denied any such activities, Obs discovered an entire laboratory set aside for cloning vats. The vats contained many failed experiments, the results of the miners' attempts to provide the Old Republic with something of value. The Jedi found themselves cut off from the rest of the galaxy, and ordered to surrender, as Kram explained that he planned to turn them over to Count Dooku for a sizeable bounty. As Lunis made to defend himself from Kram's attack, he found himself mentally cut off from Obs, who had been planning to leave the Jedi Order. Lunis found himself alone against the miners, and was quickly cut down and killed. (T19)

Luptoomian Dressing
This unique and flavorful salad dressing was develpoed by chefs on the planet Luptoom. (OWS)

Lur
This planet was located in a star system that was very close to the Corporate Sector. Lur had a deep atmospheric ionization layer, which make planetfall a hazardous trip. It had a cold, harsh climate, with a stormy weather system. Its gravity was slightly greater than galactic standard. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, a theraputic cloning center was established on the planet, to generate replacement organs for individuals suffering from life-threatening diseases. Much to the dismay of these individuals, the onset of the Clone Wars brought about a halt to any non-military cloning, under Senate decree E49D139.41. This prompted the Galactic Senate to issue exemptions to planets like Lur, which could acquire a license to perform therapeutic medical cloning. (HSR, SWI68, RCTC)

Lur, Helix

Like its brethen - the Kinlandrin Royal Forces and the Jengardin Millenial Warriors- the Lurathi have never engaged in full-scale war on Iotra. The Lurathi Guard was eventually consolidated into the Iotran Police Force. (GG12, PP)

Lurbi
This female Gotal owned Lurbi's Mercantile, located in The Landing on Engebo V. She was known for her red-tinted eyes and sharp teeth. Lurbi was killed shortly after the Madman's Fortune crashed onto Engebo V, when a school of skekfish was inadvertently released by Nell Davengatt. Nell and her companions had gone to check out the crash, and opened Goontirk's escape pod to investigate. The skekfish burrowed into the ground and sped toward the nearest food source, killing many beings in The Landing before attacking Lurbi. (WOA10)

Lurbi's Mercantile
This general store, hotel, and cantina was located in The Landing, on the planet Engebo V. It was owned by the Gotal known as Lurbi. (WOA10)

Lurid Dawn
This was the name used by the natives of the planet Lok to describe an vast area of dead space located near the Karthakk System. The Alliance hoped to established a base of operations within the Lurid Dawn, away from the prying eyes of the Empire. (SWGAL)

Lurinn
This was the name given to those clans chosen by each Viska caleisk to serve as the leaders of the repulsorlift cities which hovered over the surface of Rordak. Each caleisk could choose up to six new lurinn clans, and each lurinn was ruled by a calsk. (PG1)

Lurking the Zone
This tactic was developed by pirates and privateers who moved along the jump zones that marked the key endpoints of hyperspace travel lanes. Most ships had to drop out of hyperspace at a good distance from their destination, in order to slow down to sublight speeds and obtain approach vector information. This meant that transport ships and other large vessels had to travel at relatively low speeds for an hour or more, during which time the ship has dropped it shields and powered down its weapons systems. This window was exploited by pirates, who could ambush the incoming ship and raid it before an escape could be made, or before defenses could be established. In order to get close enough to carry out the ambush, pirate ships usually posed as simple transports or other legitimate vessels. The key to the success of this tactic was avoiding in-system patrols that might challenge the legitimacy of the pirate vessels. (SWJ2, OWS)

Lurmen
This race of lemur-like humanoids was believed to have been displaced from their homeworld by the conflicts of the Clone Wars. One large group of Lurmen, led by Tee Watt Kaa, eventually made their way to the planet Maridun, while another population made their homes on the planet Mygeeto. Note that the decoded version of Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Defenders of Peace indicates that Mygeeto was the original homeworld of the Lurmen. The name Lurmen was used to describe both a single individual and any number of them. Standing just over a meter tall, the average Lurmen was distinguished by their wide eyes and the short fur that covered their bodies. Although Lurmen moved about by walking on two feet, the Maridun Lurmen could roll up into a ball in order to cover long distances in a relatively short time. Their internal systems were not susceptible to motion-induced nausea, allowing them to roll about without getting disoriented. It was unknown if this was a natural form of movement for the Lurmen, or if it was something they learned from watching the Amanin move about. On Maridun, the Lurmen used the seedpods of the huge trees that dotted the landscape for everything from homes to storage facilities. The oils that were extracted from the seeds were used in cooking as well as healing. (OWS, CWTV13, CWTV14)

Lurol
This plant produced a sweet, tasty fruit, which was often combined with other ingredients to make a refreshing smoothie drink. (DN2)

Luroon
This was one of the many Twi'leki clans which were native to the planet Ryloth. In the Twi'leki language, the clan's name meant "ingenious" or "intelligent". (GCG)

Luroon, Babbnod
This Twi'lek pirate served under Captain Naz Felyood during the height of the New Order. She worked as Felyood's second-in-command aboard the Jynni's Virtue, and was instrumental in helping the crew pinpoint their location over Korriban, after they fled an Imperial patrol and were shot down by unknown forces upon exiting hyperspace. After crashlanding on Korriban, Babb tried to keep the crew together while Felyood tried to scout their location. Howeer, Felyood was possessed by the spirit of Dathka Graush, and the Kooriabn Zombies eventually killed much of the ship's crew. In an effort to keep the zombies from taking the ship, Babb set off the self-destruct mechanism of the Jynni's Virtue, killing herself and the remaining crew, as well as any zombies in the vicinity. (PH)

Luroon, Gida
This female Twi'lek, distinguished by her purplish skin and the scar running across her left eye, was working as a bounty hunter on Ord Mantell during the height of the New Order. She was about to leave the planet when she discovered that Renci Tosh had crash-landed in the wilderness. Gida Luroon remained on the planet, hoping to bring Tosh in, but was unable to secure her capture. (GMR1, WOA15, WOA37)

Lurr
This planet was subjugated by the Empire during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. (CSWDW)

Lurrian
Native to the planet Lur, these creatures adapted over the generations to Lur's harsh, wintery climate. They were small bipedal herbivores covered in thick white fur. The bottoms of their feet were covered in a thick, calloused pad, enabling them to travel on ice and snow. Their large green-blue eyes were adapted to seeing in the snowy wastes. They had a very advanced technology, and by the time of the New Order, they had developed some sophisiticated genetic manipulation techniques. This was the reason that slavers often tried to obtain Lurrians, hoping to sell them for use in illegal biomolecular operations. It was rumored that they could bring almost 6,000 credits apiece on the Invisible Market, after tight restrictions on cloning were established in the wake of the Clone Wars. (HSR, CSA, WOTC)

Lurrian Genetic Enclave
This group of expert geneticists was based on the planet Lur, and was called upon by the Old Republic to assist with the development of an antidote to the so-called swamp gas that was produced by the Separatists during the early stages of the Clone Wars. (NECH)

Lur-Sha-Han
This was the name of a noted Tiss'sharl individual. (UANT)

Luryk
This was a name that was common among the Sanyassan race. (UANT)

Lusa
A red-gold Chironian child being held on Hethrir worldcraft, Lusa quickly made friends with Jaina Solo while they were confined to the Empire Youth camp. Lusa's limited Force sensitivity led her to be culled from the children and sold into slavery. Lusa's fur was speckled by a number of small white spots, and she was just getting her horns when she was sold as a slave. She eventually was freed with the other children, and was trained for a brief time at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. However, her connection to the Force was not as strong as that of other students, and Lusa decided to return to her homeworld.

It was during this time that she matured into an adult, as her crystal horns grew and the spots on her fur faded. Her experiences with Hethrir remained with her for many years, and Lusa found them being dredged up again when she first heard Nolaa Tarkona speak of the Diversity Alliance. Lusa believed that the humans of the galaxy had caused her troubles as a youth, and agreed to join the Diversity Alliance, where she received military and well as medical training. For two years, she carried out many missions for Tarkona, although Lusa was blinded to the true nature of her tasks. That changed during a mission to Kaisa, where a group of explorers had accidentally exterminated the Buro race. She had been ordered to damage the navigational computer of the explorers' ship in retaliation for their acts, but soon realized that she would be responsible for their deaths if the computer failed. She explained what she had done, and helped the explorers return to Coruscant.

On Coruscant, Lusa had wanted to tell someone about the Diversity Alliance, but was afraid to contact anyone in the New Republic government. So, Lusa returned to Yavin 4, where she asked Luke Skywalker for help in unlearning the hatred and lies that had been taught to her by the Diversity Alliance. She later helped rescue Jaina and Jacen Solo from the Diversity Alliance headquarters on Ryloth, and testified against the Diversity Alliance on Coruscant. Lusa then returned to the Jedi training facility on Yavin 4, and worked hard to develop her latent skills with the Force. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Lusa was one of the first Jedi Knights to be killed by a voxyn. She had been at home on Chiron, enjoying a brief vacation from a mission when she was run down and killed. (CS, DOG, JB, TEP, SBS)

Lusankya
This planet was supposedly the site of an Imperial prisoner reconditioning facility used by Ysanne Isard. It was later revealed, after the New Republic liberated Coruscant, that Lusankya was simply a prison facility built into the carcass of the Super-class Star Destroyer Lusankya, which was buried beneath Imperial City. The prisoner barracks, interrogation facilities, and office spaces were located within the Star Destroyer, while a mining operation was established in the crust of the planet. It was here that Isard interrogated and tortured her prisoners, all the while conditioning them to react to certain code phrases. When she was satisfied that the prisoners were ready to be released, she removed any memories of their captivity except for the fact that they were at Lusankya. Then, when the prisoners later heard the code phrase, they began mumbling about "Lusankya" before becoming living time bombs and causing great amounts of damage, usually to New Republic locations. If a prisoner could not be turned to her conditioning, they were consigned to the mines, breaking big rocks into smaller rocks for months and years on end. This was deisgned to break any non-cooperative subjects until they might be trainable in the future. The mines were constructed with a gravity-inversion field in place to disorient the miners. The entire complex was located near the Galactic Museum. (XWN, WG, KT)

Lusankya
This Super-class Star Destroyer, built at Kuat Drive Yards under the name Executor at the same time as the real Executor was being built at the Fondor Shipyards, was hidden by Emperor Palpatine in a drydock located beneath Imperial City on Coruscant. A series of huge, hexagonal lift cells held the ship ready for deployment. The razing of vast areas of Coruscant's surface, the ship's construction, and its subsequent burial with additional levels of cityscape, had to be masked from the populace by the Emperor Palpatine and the use of the Dark Side of the Force. This massive undertaking was completed just before the Battle of Endor. In its finished state, the Luskanya served as a prison facility, although it remained a fully-viable warship. As many as 115,000 prisoners could be held in its many chambers, and up to 57,000 guards and security personnel ensured that the prisoners remained hidden inside the ship.

The first person the Emperor let onto the ship was Ysanne Isard, and she loved the ship from that point on. Much of the ship's internal systems were given special override commands which allowed only Isard to gain access to them. After Palpatine's death at Endor, Isard used it to house the prisoners of war still held by the Empire, including Jan Dodonna, Tycho Celchu, and Corran Horn. When the Krytos virus was defeated and Tycho Celchu was found innocent of Corran Horn's death, Isard decided that it was time to leave. She used the Lusankya's turbolasers to destroy the city above it, then lifted free of its lift cells. It then punished the planetary shields and escaped from Coruscant, fleeing to Thyferra.

The Lusankya was then placed under the command of Joak Drysso, who tried to destroy the space station used by Rogue Squadron near Yag'Dhul. He barely escaped, and returned to Thyferra. The Lusankya was then placed between the planet and the Rogues' forces as the Battle of Thyferra ensued. However, the surprise of having the Avarice - now under New Republic flags but still commanded by Sair Yonka - and the Virulence - now commanded by Booster Terrik - start shooting at the larger ship left the Lusankya badly damaged. Drysso threatened to ram the dying ship into the planet Thyferra, but he was shot by one of his Lieutenants. The Lieutenant, Waroen, surrendered to Wedge Antilles and the crew was allowed to defect or leave Imperial service. Wedge, the de facto Captain of the huge ship, took the opportunity to marry Corran Horn and Mirax Terrik aboard the Lusankya, preventing any resistance from Booster Terrik, Mirax's father.

The remains of the ship were moved around to several Republic shipyards until it was finally placed in drydock at Bilbringi, once those shipyards were converted after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Despite the core wipe of the ship's computer system, many of the coded accesses placed by Ysanne Isard remained intact. It was nearly completed when Ysanne Isard herself reappeared, hoping to take control of the ship for her own ends. Booster, Mirax, and Iella Wessiri were able to discover Isard's motives, and had a full force of armed soldiers waiting for her when she arrived. Isard was killed in a struggle with Iella, and the Lusankya remained in the hands of the New Republic. Several secret chambers were discovered during her refit, and they were modified by New Republic engineers to serve as biocontainment areas. Thus, the Lusankya became less of a warship and more of a research vessel.

Wedge Antilles was eventually given command of the ship for a special task for he commanded, but he retained his position within Starfighter Command. Wedge commanded the huge ship in the defense of the planet Phaeda against Commander Vivant and the Steadfast. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the Luskanya was part of the defense fleet assigned to protect Coruscant. When the capital planet was taken by the alien invaders, Commander Eldo Davip escaped the destruction and regrouped with the small fleet at Borleias. After successfully defending the planet from the Yuuzhan Vong's initial strikes, Davip and Antilles began taking the huge ship apart for what would become known as Operation Emperor's Spear. Weapons emplacements were removed and placed on smaller ships, and large portions of the interior were gutted. The resulting construction, known as the Beltway, became a huge needle-shaped ramming device.

As the final defense of Borleias ground on, the Lusankya took heavy damage which ate away at the ship's surface and gradually revealed the needle underneath. Commander Davip then used all remaining engine power to drive the ship into the Yuuzhan Vong worldship in orbit around the planet. Just before impact, Davip managed to escape in a small shuttle. The Lusankya drove deep into the ship, causing huge amounts of damage before both ships exploded and died. (KT, BW, IR, SOA, CE, EL2, SSOG)

Luscen
This hulking man was one of the many Jabiimi Loyalists who fought against the Imperial occupation of his homeworld during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. When Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker arrived on Jabiim to support the Loyalists, Luscen was placed in charge of the holding cell that contained Leia and Nera Dantels, after Luke had been captured because of his relationship to Anakin Skywalker. When a group of Imperial stormtroopers attacked the Loyalist headquarters, Luscen was shot and killed when a detachment discovered the prisoners. His death gave Captain Dantels time to shoot the stormtroopers, allowing the Alliance agents to escape. (SWESF)

Lusdu
This was the name of a planet. (SWSB)

Luskin's Landing
This was the name given to the hangar bay located within Exovar's Emporium, on the planet Neftali. (WSV)

Lus-ma
This was one of the older forms of lightsaber combat practiced by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. (LEV)

Lusoff, Rickard
This man lived on the planet Dantooine during the era of the Great Sith War.

Although they succeeded, both were later arrested and placed in jail by the Jedi Knight Bolook. (KOTOR)

Lusp
This common Zabrak surname meant "fuel merchant". (GCG)

Lusubrin
This name was common among the Nagai race. (GMR1)

Luszgoti
This man served the Galactic Republic as an Ensign in the naval forces that supported the Grand Army of the Republic, during the final months of the Clone Wars. A member of COMPOR, Ensign Luszgoti was assigned to the support vessel Redeemer during the defense of Thyferra, and was openly disdainful of the clone troopers who served the GAR. When he spat out the term "clone" when addressing ARC Trooper Ordo, and refused to accept the presence of Kal Skirata in the ship's wardroom, Ensign Luszgoti found himself under the unwanted scrutiny of Ordo and his fellow Null-class ARCs. Prudii read him the regulations that allowed Ordo - a full Captain in the GAR - to invite any guest into the wardroom, then Ordo threatened to bring up charges of insubordination against Luszgoti if he didn't apologize to Skirata. Faced with standing his already shaky ground or admitting the clones were correct, Luszgoti chose to apologize to Skirata before fleeing the wardroom. (RC66)

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

Lutdze
This was one of the Alliance's MC80a cruisers, active during the years following the Battle of Yavin. (TIE)

Lute-pipe
This was a musical instrument that it alternately strummed and blown. (THG)

Luthinoe
This was a name which was common among members of the Lutrillian race. (GORW)

Lutrillia
This planet was the homeworld of the Lutrillian race, and was located in the Yarith Sector of the galaxy. It was a planet covered with endlessly flat, barren plains, the result of a millennia-long drought that evaporated its shallow seas and left behind only a few oases. The Lutrillians evolved as nomads, moving from oasis to oasis to ensure a continual supply of water. Most of the cities found on the planet were created to be mobile, with huge wheel systems connected to immense drives. (WOA33)

Lutrillian
This race of humanoids, whose large faces were dominated by wide-set eyes and fuzzy jowls, was native to the planet Lutrillia. They had small ears and a wide, flat nose. Because most of the planet's water supply evaporated during an incredibly long drought, the Lutrillians evolved as nomads, moving across the planet's surface in search of water. To this end, the Lutrillians engineered their cities to be mobile, capable of moving from oasis to oasis. (CCG5, WOA33)

Lutrillian Cross
This short, hyperspace pathway connected Lutrillia to Mijos, bypassing the Kiax Nebula and connecting with the Corellian Trade Spine. (WOA33)

Lutris
This was the capital city of the planet Tynna. (HNN5)

Lutris Lake
This was one of the largest inland bodies of water found on the planet Tynna, located near the planetary capital of Lutris. (HNN5)

Luu
When translated into Basic, this Ewok word meant "beautiful." (GPB)

Luubid
This Mando'a word meant "enough." (OWS)

Luudrian Lockjaw
This was a species of creature known for its ferocious tenacity. (WSV)

Luudrian Star
This was the name of Tru'eb Cholakk's freighter. It was a modified Ghtroc 720 freighter, and was purchased by Tru'eb with the credits Platt Okeefe paid him following their escape from Big Quince. It was armed with a pair of mass drive cannons. Note that the Star Wars Adventure Journal, Issue 2 denotes this ship as aClass 729 freighter. (SWJ2, SWJ8, CRO)

Luufi
When translated into Basic, this Ewok word meant "flower." (GPB)

Luufkin
This Verpine was a noted fence who worked from a base on the planet Sriluur, during the early years of the New Order. Unknown to most being was the fact that Luufkin was a member of the growing rebellion against the Empire. He was working with beings like Quip Fargil to do whatever they could to undermine the efforts of the Empire. When it was learned that the Imperial Navy had started using Interdictor Cruisers to drag starships out of hyperspace, Fargil and Luufkin began making plans to steal the ship's technology. With help from a sympathetic Imperial officer on Nilash III, they arranged to work with Zenn Bien to steal a freighter from the Nilash Impound Facility and fly it to the Tungra Sector. Along the way, they knew that they would be dragged out of hyperspace by an Imperial cruiser, and so they allowed the freighter - known as the Gone to Pieces - to suffer damage during the reversion to realspace. They bribed the Imperial officer who boarded their ship, using a promise of brandy and tabac to get them time to remain in the area and fix their ship. Although some cases held brandy, the others held a team of Jawas and Squibs who were able to infiltrate the Interdictor cruiser and steal its technology. (MF)

Luul
This surname was common among the Sullustan race, and meant "musician" in the Sullustan language. (GCG)

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

Luun, Aved
This female Jawa was the mate of Kalit, and the shaman of her tribe. She suspected that Wittin was plotting to kill Kalit, but had no proof. (CCG7)

Luunim, Mak
This Muun was to have been Leia Organa's contact point in the city of Pilaan, on the planet Muunilinst, during a mission to access secret bank accounts in the wake of the Battle of Yavin. The Alliance had lost a significant portion of its savings when Alderaan was destroyed, and Princess Leia hoped to recover some of those credits from the banks on Muunilinst. Mak Luunim was supposed to provide her with a datacard that contained access codes to the Muunilinst bank accounts. She traveled to the planet with Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, and they picked up the man known as Tobin Elad along the way. Mak Luunim's offices were located on the twenty-third floor of one of Pilaan's most opulent buildings, and it was there that he displayed many of his most prized artworks. Mak Luunim was something of an egomaniac, as evidenced by the fact that his private rooms were crowded with artistic images of himself, including statuary and paintings of every size and shape. These images assaulted Leia and her companions, and distracted them from the fact that Mak Luunim was dead. His butler explained that Luunim had "left our mortal realm" before revealing that Imperial forces had arrived just before the rebels. After escaping from the stormtroopers, Han Solo and Tobin Elad led them to a dingy cantina, where they learned that Mak Luunim was in debt to several beings. The bartender revealed that Luunim had died when his speeder malfunctioned in midair, a failed turbine leading to the vehicle's crash and Luunim's death. Although an Imperial investigation claimed Luunim's death was an accident, the bartender believed that Luunim owed credits to Nal Kenuun, and that Kenuun had the speeder sabotaged. Leia and the others were forced to locate Nal Kenuun and determine if he had taken the datacard that was in Mak Luunim's possession. (RF1)

Luuq Two
This planet was known for its beautiful, deep canyons. (UF)

Luure, M'yet
This Exodeenian Senator to the New Republic was a powerful leader who spoke openly with Leia Organa-Solo at all times. Their friendship had grown with the Republic, and when former Imperial supporters became elected Senators, Luure countered Leia's distrust by reminding her that she herself once served Emperor Palpatine. The senior Exodeenian Senator at the time, Luure was killed when Dolph's sabotaged droids exploded during a Senate meeting. (TNR)

Luurian Genetic Enclave
This group of genetic experts was allied with the Old Republic's Ministry of Science, and was instrumental in the development of vaccines which rendered many of the Separatist bio-weapons harmless, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. (SWI66)

Luv
This Gungan verb translated into Basic as "to love." (GPB)

Luvagwa
This was a common name among members of the Dug race. (UANT)

Luwa, Pagda
This was a noted member of the Mrlssi race. (UANT)

Luwingo
A Yaka cyborg, he found work as a programmer on his homeworld. When he took his family on a planetary tour, they were attacked by pirates. They pirates stole his children, and Luwingo tried to track them down. However, travel throughout the galaxy often requires the use of a starship. When he first met Lo Khan, he tried to save Lo Khan's life by eliminating the goons tracking him. In return, Luwingo felt that Lo Khan would owe him passage on his starship. Though Luwingo eliminated one set of goons before they got to Lo Khan, Spadda had sent another group. Luwingo again saved Lo Khan, and the two have been partners ever since. In between infrequent smuggling runs, Luwingo had continued to search for his family, using his cyborg brain to selectively recall memories of the abduction. (DE1, DESB)

Luwurr
This was a common name among the Togorian race. (UANT)

Lux
This modified seeker droid was the primary security force used by Doctor Lytos Urtell to protect The Glow Dome, on Adarlon. A former police droid, Lux was reprogrammed by Doctor Urtell to monitor the clientele for potential troublemakers. Doctor Urtell created Lux because the droid's body resembled one of the many floating holoprojectors used to create light shows within the Glow Dome. This allowed Lux to operate without any of the patrons realizing it was close by. Lux was programmed to be a tough, no-nonsense enforcer, and was armed with a MSD-32 disrupter and a Persuader stun gun. (WSV)

LUX-3
This enclosed, sleek-bodied landspeeder was produced by MandalMotors. It was propelled by a pair of outboard engine pods. (NEGV)

Luxa
This pink-skinned, near-human woman lived on Citadel Station, orbiting the planet Telos, during the years following the Jedi Civil War. She was believed to be working for Loppak Slusk and The Exchange, although she was plotting to have him killed so that she could take over Citadel Station's branch of The Exchange. (KOTOR2)

Luxan Personal Armaments, Ltd.
Manufacturers of blaster weapons, like the Penetrator. (TFNR, ROE)

Luxe Flightwing
This luxury cruiser was produced in limited numbers during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. It was a rare and beautiful ship, and almost every being who saw one remembered it distinctly.

Luxior 7
A planet. (XWA)

Luxuflier
This garishly opulent personal yacht was developed and manufactured by Kothlis Systems during the early years of the New Republic. Many of these ships were produced for Bothan dignitaries and politicians, and served as a status symbol. (SBS)

Luxum
This was one of the many crystals used by the ancient Sith Lords in the construction of a lightsaber. It was believed to have given the wielder the ability to damage a droid opponent. Luxum crystals were formed from the minerals that were found in the waters of Lake Natth, on the planet Ambria. It took long hours of meditation to create one of these crystals, which were used almost exclusively by the Dark Jedi of the Great Sith War. Many lost Luxum crystals were unearthed millennia later, and were discovered to be ideal for use in light sculptures. (KOTOR, CN2)

Luxum
This female being was a member of the Iron Knights, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She was perhaps best-known because of her relationship with IG-179, the IG-100 MagnaGuards who served as Luxum's bodyguard and chief lieutenant. (OWS)

LuxurPort Zisparanza
This Ubrikkian luxury landspeeder was archetypical of such vehicles. It measured 11.2 meters in length, and had space for up to eight passengers. Its interior was almost absurd in its appointments, including scarlet greel wood wall panelling and chrome accents. Although many speeder purists eschewed the Zisparanza's appointments, it found popularity among minor crimelords who wanted to flaunt their wealth. (CSA)

Luxury
This small, ovoid cruise ship plied the spacelanes of the Mid Rim, during the final years of the Old Republic. The vessel was owned and operated by the veteran Ithorian pilot, Veer. Unlike most cruise ships, the Luxury was rented out to large corporations and the hosts of important conferences, as a kind of nuetral location where discussions and negotiations could take place. The main deck of the ship contained a huge conference center that was surrounded by four reception halls. Twenty-eight guest suites were located nearby, and two wondrous aquariums were built into each end of the deck for the viewing pleasure of the passengers. Shortly after the Clone Wars began, the Luxury was the site of a meeting between Jedi Master Kirlocca and the Sentient Beings Opposing Violence organization. The Dark Jedi known as Raik Muun tried to disrupt the meeting by unleashing several t'salaks aboard the ship, with the intention of blaming the Almas Academy for the attack. (FOC3)

Luxury 2800
This SoroSuub luxury space yacht was the precursor to the PLY 3000. It had the same basic shape and layout, but was smaller in size. It measured 37 meters in length, and requried a pilot to operate. It could transport up to eight passengers and 50 metric tons of cargo. (SWJ11)

Luxury 3000
This was another name used to describe the PLY 3000 luxury yacht. (PP)

Luxury 5000
This was one of the many luxury yachts produced by SoroSuub during the last years of the New Order and into the era of the New Republic. The Luxury 5000 had a crescent-shaped hull, with the main engine array located at the center of the crescent. The forward-facing mandibles curved forward, and the cockpit was located just forward of the engines. This craft measured sixty-five meters in length. (GMR4)

Luxury Cruiser 200
This SoroSuub personal yacht was designed with entertainment in mind. It measured 100 meters in length, and required a pilot and co-pilot to operate. It could transport up to 28 passengers with ease, and had room for 15 metric tons of cargo and three months' worth of supplies. (PP)

Luxury on the Inner Rim
This travel guide provided information on the most luxurious places to visit in the galaxy's Inner Rim. This guide was produced on a regular basis during the Old Republic, although production stopped when the Clone Wars began, and Luxury on the Inner Rim remained out of print during the New Order. (PH)

Luxury Sail Barge
Measuring thirty meters in length, this Ubrikkian sail barge required a crew of twenty-six to fly, and could handle up to 500 passengers and 2,000 metric tons of cargo. The vehicle utilized a three-chambered repulsorlift engine system to keep it afloat, as well as to provide forward thrust, giving the Luxury Sail Barge a top speed of 100 kilometers per hour. Two diamond-shaped sails provided additional lift, as well as shade for the upper deck. When operating on sail power alone, the Luxury Sail Barge could move at speeds approacjing thirty kilometers per hour.

In its stock form, the Luxury Sail Barge was armed with a single heavy blaster cannon, although many buyers opted to leave the cannon off to save credits for other luxury appointments. The main passenger deck was located just below the main deck, and was ventilated by a series of retractable doors. When opened, these doors allowed passengers to view the outside environment, while providing air circulation through the otherwise enclosed space.

The lower of the vehicle's three decks was set aside for the drive systems and control rooms. (EGV, SWRPG2, A23)

Luxury Shuttle 001
This was the formal name of the SoroSuub Ambassador-class shuttle. (SWJ3)

Luxury-class Shuttle
One of several transportation ships used by Tinta Lines. It had several cabins denoted by price, such as the Premier cabin. (IJ)

Luyal
This tentacled alien race joined the New Republic. (TNR)

Luz
Meaning "positive" - or, more literally, "full", in reference to a phase of Rodian's moon - this was one of the most common names among Rodian females. These names generally described characteristics of historical individuals, and different Rodian clans used up to three names to describe an individual. (GCG)

Luzion, Darth
This was one of the titles that were chosen by Haazen, after he named himself Darth Hayze, for Lucien Draay. Haazen had named himself the leader of a new union of Force users, standing between and controlling both the Jedi Order and the Sith Empire. He chose Lucien to serve as the trainer for his Sith forces, and offered him the title of Darth Luzion because of the illusions under which Draay had lived his life. Haazen also offered him the title of Darth Sion, indicating his position as the last son of the Draay family. (KOR10)

Luzitall
This obstacle was often found at the end of a swoopchasing race course, and was the spectator favorite because it involves water. The Luzitall was formed into a deep, water-filled ravine, and the zig-zagging, hairpin turns were labeled with repulsor buoys. All along the course, nozzles and jets force tons of water outward as the racers pass through the ravine, often unseating riders before they could react. In addition, turbines were used to churn the surface of the water, which forced racers to continually adjust their ride height. (BSS)

Luzura
This was a common name among the Temolak race. (UANT)

LV3
A series of slow-processor droids. (TJP)

LV8-series Guard Droid
Similar in appearance to the Super Battle Droids used by the Separatists during the Clone Wars, the LV8-series guard droid was a humanoid automaton produced by Baktoid Industrial Systems during the decades that followed the Alliance-Confederation War. The LV8-series was originally produced in reaction to the industrial sabotage that followed Baktoid Industrial Systems' rise in prominence, when other droid manufacturers tried to shut the corporation down by destroying its manufacturing centers. BIS responded by quickly developing the LV8-series guard droid to defend its many facilities. The heavy forearms of the LV8-series guard droid could be outfitted with a variety of blaster weapons, and the body shell of the droid was made from quadanium steel. (WOTC)

L'varren, Dictio
A native of the planet Alderaan, this man was the New Republic's ambassador to the planet Indu San. He had been away from Alderaan when it was destroyed by the first Death Star, and immediately joined the Alliance as an ambassador to other worlds. L'varren was present on Indu San, hoping to sway the Indu Council to join the New Republic, when Shek Barayel was assassinated. L'varren did everything he could to help with the investigation into Barayel's death. (SWJ6)

Lweilot Asteroid Belt
This 90-million-kilometer wide asteroid belt was located in the Bseto System, between Indikir and Sarahwiee. (SWJ6)

Lwhekk
This hot, jungle-covered planet was the home world of the Ssi-ruuk and P'w'eck races, and was the center of the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium. The jungles of Lwhekk were broken by spired cities that appeared to be quite fragile against the dangerous environment.

Located in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy, Lwhekk was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong during the height of their invasion of the galaxy, as part of a plan to establish a foothold along the borders of the Unknown Regions. The Yuuzhan Vong then hatched an elaborate plan to capture Bakura as well, playing on the Bakurans' fear of the Ssi-ruuk by sending a P'w'eck emissary to negotiate an alliance.

The average day on Lwhekk lasted 32 standard hours, and its years encompassed 344 local days. (TB, TBSB, FH2, NEGA)

Lwhekk-class Manufacturing Ship
This Ssi-ruuvi starship was a battleground manufacturing platform. One of these massive ships was sent to Bakura. The Lwhekk-class ship measured 624 meters in length, and was crewed by 300 Ssi-ruuk officers, 126 Ssi-ruuk gunners, 1,000 P'w'eck crewers, and 7,500 P'w'eck laborers. Although this ship was armed with three tubrolaser batteries and 20 tractor beam projectors, it was often escorted by Wurrif-class cruisers because all of the Lwhekk-class's power was directed to the manufacture of Swarm-class battle droids. The interior of the Lwhekk-class Manufacturing Ship was filled with factories and foundries, and its cargo holds could transport up to 30,000 metric tons of raw materials or up to 2,000 battle droids. (EGV, TBSB)

Lwothin
This P'w'eck arrived on Bakura as the advance leader of the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement, during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Outwardly, Lwothin was representing his people in an effort to form an alliance with the Bakurans, which would allow both races and planets to exist together, outside the auspices of the New Republic. In reality, he was merely a puppet of his Ssi-ruuk masters, who themselves were being controlled by the Yuuzhan Vong. Lwothin was nothing more than a figurehead and puppet, who did exactly what the Keeramak ordered him to do. However, the Keeramak and its Ssi-ruuvi cohorts didn't anticipate the desire for independence of their P'w'eck assistants. After the Solo family and the surviving members of the Freedom movement were brought before the Keeramak, Lwothin was ordered to shoot them dead. Instead, Lwothin turned his weapon to shoot and kill the Keeramak, ending the plot to subjugate Bakura. His actions inspired the rest of the P'w'eck contingency at Bakura, resulting in the overtaking of the cruisers Firrinree and Errinung'ka before the Bakuran fleet could be destroyed. In the wake of the P'w'eck uprising, Lwothin agreed to ally the P'w'eck with the Bakurans in a common defense against their enemies, with the strength and support of the Galactic Alliance backing them up. (FH2)

Lwyll
This was the name given by Roa to his hand-built, one-man fighter. A modified Redthorn-class scoutship, it saw duty during the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. Roa, seeing the Peacekeeper could not bring its engine on-line, began peppering the dying ship with laser fire from the Lwyll. When the larger ship impacted the planetary shield protecting Nar Shaddaa, the Lwyll was caught in the back-blast and propelled toward the moon's surface. Roa barely managed to keep the ship under control as it plummeted into the ground, and escaped from the ship shortly before it exploded. (THG)

Lwyll
This strikingly beautiful woman, distinguished by her long, pale blond hair and elegant face, was Roa's wife. She never seemed to age, as Han Solo noticed when he bumped into Roa and Lwyll on Bonadan. Lwyll was born to a dirt-poor family of migrant laborers, and fought tooth and nail to drag herself up out of that life and make something of herself. She was just as pretty as her sisters, but she had enough common sense to search out the right man, rather than falling for every guy she met. Her main talents seemed to be in singing anf acting, and her career led her to becoming a lounge singer. At one gig, she met the smugglr Roa, whom she had noticed in the audience many times. When she learned that he kept coming back to hear her sing, she fell in live with him - hard. Despite his slightly-illegal business, she worked hard to maintain the relationship. After Roa gave up smuggling, they lived in peace for many years, enjoying the prosperity of the New Republic. Unfortunately, they were caught on Atzerri during the initial wave of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Roa managed to escape, but Lwyll was killed in the attack. Roa later learned that the planet had been infiltrated by the Yuuzhan Vong with the help of the Peace Brigade, and he set out to find the Brigade and destroy them. (HSR, CSA, HT)

Lx
This woman, a native of Cularin, went mad after her husband Nder was killed in their home when a group of Jedi Knights mistakenly attacked it, during the height of the Clone Wars. (LFCW)

Lx 466
This was the callsign of an Alliance operative who was active on the planet Dantooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. (SWG2P)

LX-1
One of MerrSonn Munitions' laser-flechette mines. They were recognizable by the concave external surface of the mine emplacement, which absorbs the energy when the mine explodes. When detonated, the mines release huge amounts of energy which was absorbed by the concave surface and expelled by small laser diodes as tiny blaster bolts. (IJ)

LX-11
This starship reactor core was produced by Kuat Systems Engineering, during the early years of the New Order. (SWG2P)

LX-2
One of MerrSonn's first self-detonating mines, these weapons used special sensors to determine the proximity of a target, and then trigger their detonators. These weapons were disarmable via commlink hook-up. They were thought to be secure, but members of the Alliance on Calonica discovered their disarming codes and rendered them harmless. They then stole the charges and replaced the mines. (ISB)

LX-21
This starship reactor core was produced by Kuat Systems Engineering, during the early years of the New Order. It was essentially an upgraded version of the LX-11 reactor core. (SWG2P)

LX-4
MerrSonn's self-detonating perimeter mine, these proton weapons were buried a half-meter below the surface. Thermal gravity-sensitive sensors told the weapon when a large vehicle or person was near, and triggered the detonator. The LX-4 was a refitted proton torpedo warhead, and made up for the LX-2's failings by being virtually impossible to disarm. This caused problems for the Empire as well, since they could not be stored easily. (ISB)

LX-44
This was a powerful set of articulated legs used in the construction of combat droids and other automata, during the the final years of the Old Republic. It was believed that General Grievous used a pair of LX-44 legs to move about. (VD3, CVD)

LX-80
This was an anti-infantry missile emplacement produced by MerrSonn during the Galactic Civil War. (HAS)

LXC-3TF
This assassin droid worked with Jasta Finn during the early years of the New Republic. LXC-3TF was armed with a portable proton torpedo launcher and a blaster cannon. (POC)

This was a model of concussion grenade produced by SoroSuub for many decads. It first saw use during the Clone Wars, and remained in production until the height of the Galactic Civil War. (LAWS)

Lya
This was one of the many family names used by the Bothan people. It translated loosely to "singer" or "muscian". (GCG, WOTC)

Lyaer'tsa
This was the name of the traditional Twi'leki weapon used in armed combat. It was a tall, staff-like shaft with a vibroblade at the top. Tradition demands that the lyaer'tsa be used to inflict non-lethal injuries. (XWBT)

Ly'alu, Tensh
This Bothan was one of the many new Jedi Knights who graduated from Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 during the era of the New Republic. Upon achieving the rank of Jedi Knight, Ly'alu was assigned to monitor the planet Ryloth, both for Force-sensitive individuals and to keep and eye open for Jedi interests on the planet. He felt that he was up to the task, but after learning that most Twi'leks could communicate with their lekku, Tensh suddenly found himself floundering. He struggled to learn the Lekku language, in an effort to enhance his already formidable information gathering skills. (GORW)

Lyanne, Tarnese
This male Sakiyan, the father of Tarnese Bleyd, had made several hefty investments in black market and smuggling operations during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. However, he was double-crossed by Shiltu the Hutt, and he lost everything the Tarnese clan had owned. Clan Tarnese was disgraced, and Tarnese Lyanne's children were forced to look for work away from Sakiya. (MBS)

Lyari
This female Ishi Tib and her friend, Zelara, were among the many independent spacers who became Joiners during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Although Zelara wanted to have a good time with Luke Skywalker, Lyari discovered that he had a wife and son, and became angry at his interruption of their fun. (DN1)

Lyases Enzyme
This naturally-occurring enzymatic compound was used by geneticists and biologists to assist in the development of embryonic cells in the laboratory. By adding lyases enzymes at various points throughout the development of an embryo, a scientist could give the embryo a better chance of surviving. The use of lyases enzymes also helped to improve the matured embryo's natural strength. (SWGAL)

Lybeya
Located in the Bajic Sector, this yellow star was the central body of the Lybeya System. This system was best-known as the location of the Vergesso Asteroid field, which was a collection of five distinct belts of planetary debris. Ororo Transportation had a hidden shipyard there. When Xizor was trying to punish Ororo for infiltrating Black Sun's spice trade, Xizor provided the location of the shipyards to Darth Vader, telling the Dark Lord that the location was an Alliance shipyard. Vader destroyed the shipyard. (SE, SPG)

Lybeya System
This Bajic Sector star system orbited the star Lybeya, and was best-known for the Vergesso Asteroid Field. (SPG)

Lycan
This tall humanoid was a Dark Jedi who roamed the galaxy during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Lycan was distinguished by his canine face, a toothy maw, and the thick barbels that hung from the corners of his mouth. Lycan's skin was an unusual shade of gray, which seemed to darken in color depending on the light. The thumb and forefinger on each of his hands was tipped with a long claw. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Lycan was captured by a Jedi Knight and was being transported to Coruscant for imprisonment. He managed to escape during the trip and attacked the Jedi, causing their ship to crash on a sparsely-settled world. Lycan escaped the burning ship and discovered a homestead, where he was confronted by a young boy known as Neas Nyl. The young boy defended his home bravely, as his father Darca was out investigating the crash. Neas managed to get off a single shot with his father's blaster, catching Lycan in the left temple and causing irreparable damage to his left eye and part of his brain. In his anger at being shot, Lycan killed the young boy and fled the planet. He roamed the galaxy for several weeks, but the wounds he suffered caused him many problems. In addition to a strange inability to remain sane, Lycan also found that he couldn't control the Force, and often lashed out in anger whenever he was confronted. This often resulted in death and destruction to his immediate environment, although Lycan remembered little of his role in them. Lycan found himself being pursued across the Outer Rim Territories by Darca Nyl, but knew through the Force that he was also pursing Darca Nyl, because the Force told Lycan that Nyl to a remote world called Molavar. In a cave on Molavar, Lycan realized that he had forgotten who he was, and when Darca provided his name, Lycan felt the missing pieces of his mind slip back into place. He believed that he was now free to do as he wished, and taunted Darca with claims that he was now Lycan's "father," as Lycan himself was reborn. However, in his haste to kill Darca, Lycan failed to realize that the cave in which they confronted each other had been mined by Darca earlier. As Lycan gloated, Darca set off the charges, trapping Lycan beneath tons of rubble and ending his reign of terror. (T21, T22, T23, T24)

Lycinder Plain
This broad valley was located at the foot of Mount Avos, on the planet Troiken. (SHW)

Lycoming
This quarantine enforcement cruiser patrolled the Meridian Sector for the New Republic, after Seti Ashgad and Dzym unleashed the Death Seed plague. It intercepted the freighter Zicreex, which was transporting R2-D2, C-3PO, and Yarbolk Yemm to Cybloc XII. The captain of the Zicreex, a Gamorrean named Ugmush, had stopped to try and salvage the exploded hulk of the Empyrean when the Lycoming arrived on the scene. The Lycoming's captain - a Gotal female - had received a distress call from the Empyrean and was investigating. (POT)

Lycri, Meido
This was the name of a noted Vodran individual. (UANT)

Lyda
This band of pirates was active in several sectors of the galaxy, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Although the Lyda were ostensibly neutral during the conflict, many members often worked for the Alliance on clandestine missions. (SWG2P)

Lydree
This small corporation produced a variety of specialty optical devices, such as the MB450 macrobinoculars, during the height of the New Order. (E4VG)

Lyechusas
This ancient scribe created many of the earlier volumes of the massive literary collection known as The Despotica, more than 25,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Lyechusas was known for his poetic, almost romantic depictions of Xim the Despot's life, many of which skirted over or omitted some of the most heinous and horrific aspects of Xim's personality. (OWS)

Lye-em
This male Gungan was one of the many poachers who were hired by Rufus Trammel, during the final years of the Old Republic, to safely capture the exotic wildlife that reappeared in the oceans of Dorumaa. Trammel and his associates, working from a floating island base, captured strange and unusual creatures and sold them to the highest bidder. (DC)

Lyjan, Ariss
This man served the Empire as the Moff of Nuiri Sector during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He was notorious for his love of gambling, which often got him into financial as well as political trouble. He was lucky enough to be considered a friend of Grand Moff Tarkin, and so he enjoyed a modicum of favor with the Emperor. (WSV)

Lykern
This was a common name among the Kilmaulsi race. (GORW)

Lylek
This strange, insectoid predator was native to the planet Ryloth. It had three pairs of chitin-plated legs, but also had a pair of spined tentacles which it used for arms. The tail was much like that of a scorpion, which was held curled over the body and had a stinger at the end. The stinger could inject a potent poison, which the lylek used to incapacitate its prey. The lylek was one of the very few creatures that could survive in the Bright Lands of Ryloth, but were equally comfortable in deep caves, where it searched for its prey. These creatures became the stuff of legends and nightmares, which were made all the more terrifying when one realized that the lylek was an actual, living creature. (EGP, GORW, UA)

Lyll, Darak
This Alderaanian was part of that planet's minimal underground. He was known among the criminal element to be a source for spice and other substances. Darak was a tall, elderly man with graying hair and a growing paunch. A young Han Solo once tried to unload some stolen glitterstim to Darak, but the man declined on the grounds that it was extremely hard to sell it on Alderaan. (TPS)

Lyn, Arden
This woman was a former teras kasi master and a member of the Followers of Palawa warriors who flocked to support the Kashi Mer exile, Xendor, in the wake of the Force Wars. During the First Great Schism, Arden Lyn was defeated in battle by the Jedi Master Awdrysta Pina, who used the morichro technique to still Arden's heart. Her connection to the Dark Side of the Force managed to keep her alive, and Arden Lyn eventually awoke, shortly after the Jedi Purge of Emperor Palpatine. She was captured as a Force-sensitive by High Inquisitor Tremayne, but injured him and killed Inquisitor Ameesa Darys in her escape. She was later captured again, this time by Inquisitor Torbin, who was forced to cut off her arm in the struggle. Torbin kept her alive, recognizing that she had some connection to the Dark Side of the Force, and brought her before Palpatine.

She became one of the Emperor's Hands, and was summoned by Darth Vader to lead an assault team against the Alliance. Their goal was to defeat the leaders of the Alliance in one-on-one combat. In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, however, Arden Lyn defected from Imperial service and started training her own students. She even tried to help rogue Admiral Zaarin kidnap Palpatine, but Inquisitor Tremayne thwarted the attempt. Arden Lyn fled, hoping to locate an ancient Kashi Mer talisman which would bring her power enough to defeat the Empire. She was eventually hunted down and killed by Palpatine himself. (MTK, ECH, GMR5, NECH, EGF)

Lynaria
This Outer Rim world was the seventh planet in the Atrig System. It was a frigid world covered with ice and frozen methane, and had no moons. (PG2)

Lynch
An Imperial Grand Moff who controlled the section of the galaxy containing M'haeli, Lynch and Ranulf Trommer's father were friends. This association, followed by the heroism of Ranulf at Aguarl 3, caused Lynch to post Ranulf on M'haeli, ostensibly to be Governor Grigor's aide, but also to keep tabs on the Governor's doings. (ROC)

Lynn, Ash
This young woman was one of the first Coruscant youths to joined COMPNOR, following the Jedi Rebellion and the end of the Clone Wars. She aroused suspicion in Inquisitor Tremayne's eyes, however, when her background check revealed certain inconsistencies. (EAR)

Lynnori
This near-human female was the Captain and owner of the Starbound Misfit, a modified YT-1930 transport purchased for her by Talandro Starlyte and modified by his friend, Scizzic. Starlyte asked her to leave the life of an independent captain and stay with him on Starlyte Station, but she politely refused. Unlike most near-humans, Lynnori's species was unusual in that it barely resembled base human stock. Her features were feline, with pointed ears, clawed hands, and a down covering of striped fur. (WSV)

Lyntra
This barren ball of rock was the fourth planet of the Sriluur System, located in the Outer Rim Territories. It was orbited by a pair of moons. (GORW)

Lyo
This was the Jawaese word for the number 6. Note that the number seven did not exist in Jawa arithemtic. (GPB)

Lyonn, Var
This gray-haired man served as the Deputy Prime Minister of the planet Delaya, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. In the wake of the destruction of Alderaan, Lyonn and the serving Prime Minister, Gredh Manaa, outwardly pledged to provide for the many refugees who arrived on the planet, despite the growing protests of the native Delayans. Although Manaa was the public face of the government, deputy Lyonn held the real power. Many natives came to distrust him, since he worked behind the scenes to influence the Prime Minister and other factions. Thus, it was Lyonn who agreed to meet with Princess Leia Organa and he companions several months after the Battle of Yavin, bringing Prime Minister Manaa along with him. Lyonn wanted to get down to business, but Princess Leia demanded that she be given time to assist the refugess in Leilani. Lyonn's actions gave the Princess a reason to doubt his motives. Princess Leia later discovered that, despite their verbal reassurances, both Manaa and Lyonn were not at all interested in the well-being of the Alderaanian refugees. They were, in fact, keeping most refugees penned up in abandoned warehouses, giving them only the minimum of food and water and forcing them to live in squalor. Lyonn believed that he would be rewarded by the Empire for his efforts in quelling the Alderaanians, and did little to prevent Imperial forces from attacking the refugee camps and taking Princess Leia captive. He was therefore surprised when Han Solo and Luke Skywalker barged into his offices, demanding to know Leia was being held. He revealed that the Princess was being held at an abandoned medical center, and was forced to accompany the rebels on their rescue mission. Lyonn agreed, but was unfortunately struck and killed by a stray blaster bolt when the rebels tried to enter the facility. (RF2)

Lyra
A sentient, aline race. (TSK)

Lyran Bloodslug
Native to the planet Lyran IV, this small slug spent much of its lifecycle feeding on grains and wheat. As it fed, the bloodslug exuded a toxic acid that helped it move through the heavy stores of grains found in silos and warehouses. This alone made the bloodslug a form of vermin that the workers of Lyran IV hated to find in their storage systems. What made the bloodslug even worse was the fact that it desired to feed on blood as much as it did on grain. When the bloodslug found a living host, it used its acid to burrow into the flesh, lodging itself in the host's digestive tract and feeding on blood and vegetable matter consumed by the host. In this way, the bloodslug received two forms of sustenance while keeping its host alive for an extended period. When the host finally died from the loss of blood, the bloodslug simply abandoned the dead body and sought out the nearest source of food. The average bloodslug could live for an indefinite period without living blood, burrowing into the nearest grain stores and waiting. It was discovered that the toxic acid of the bloodslug, when collected in the bloodstream of its host, caused increasingly deep forms of madness and pain, slowly driving the host insane. Because of this, many of the crimelords who controlled Lyran IV used bloodslugs as a way to torture their victims. (WOTC)

Lyran IV
This agricultural planet, located in the Outer Rim, was once a major exporter of grains and foodstuffs. When the Empire came to power, Lyran IV attracted a wealth of criminals and smugglers because of its remote location. The criminals quickly took control of the planet, but maintained its excellent agricultural operations as a front for their underworld dealings. The Lyran System was located near both Kessel and Ryloth, giving the criminals a steady supply of illegal forms of spice to traffic to the center of the galaxy. (WOTC)

Lyrd
A city found on the western coast of Galleros, on the planet Zelos II. (PG2)

Lyric
This Melodie, native to Yavin 8, was discovered to be strong in the Force by Luke Skywalker and Tionne. She was brought the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 about a year before her changing ceremony. She was befriended by Anakin Solo and Tahiri, but began to fail physically as her natural metamorphosis started. She was accompanied back to Yavin 8 by Anakin and Tahiri, who attended her changing ceremony within the Sistra Mountain. She remained loyal to the Jedi while on Yavin 8, but was later hunted down and killed by a Yuuzhan Vong voxyn some twenty-seven years after the Battle of Yavin. (LW, SBS)

Lyrical Metaphysics: Ode on an Odon

(KOTOR2)

Lyshaa
This Zeltron woman was sent to prison on Brentaal for her part in killing Fe Sun, one of Shaak Ti's Padawan learners, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. She was eventually caught by Master Ti and sent o prison on Brentaal. Years later, Lyshaa would claim that she killed Fe Sun simply to gain respect among her peers in the criminal underworld. Lyshaa was also found guilty of killing her own family, during an earlier fit of rage. While in prison, she befriended the Wookiee known as Ryyk. When Shogar Tok took control of the prison facility and converted it to his base of operations, Lyshaa joined Sagoro Autem in staging a prisoner revolt. Their attempt to gaint heir freedom coincided with the Old Republic's attempt to oust Shogar Tok from power on Brentaal. With the Republic's forces pinned down, Shaak Ti offered the three their freedom in exchange for helping the Jedi to destroy Tok's hold on Brentaal. They reluctantly agreed, seeing no better path to freedom. Lyshaa reluctantly agreed to pose as a regular Zeltron female, in an effort to lure Shogar Tok into his chambers, where Shaak Ti would capture him. Unfortunately for Master Ti, Lyshaa used the distraction to fire her blaster at the Jedi, badly wounding Shaak Ti. Lyshaa left her for dead, but Shaak Ti was merely in a healing trance. When she awoke, Master Ti defeated Shogar Tok in combat and turned to bring Lyshaa to justice. Lyshaa wanted no part of prison life, and turned to flee. However, she ran through the lightstorm chamber protecting Shogar Tok's offices, and was killed in a barrage of laser fire. (J2, NECH)

Lysire
This given name was commonly given to female human children throughout the galaxy. (GCG)

Lysslo
This was a common name used by the Geonosian race. (UANT)

Lyster Innovations
This quality assurance company was based on the moon Drewwa, during the years following the Swarm War. The company made its profits by hiring entrepreneurs and "idea generators," then sending them out to visit other corporations to do field studies. By analyzing what they found, Lyster's people could described ways in which the other corporations could improve their business operations. The company also showed its clients how to take advantage of environmental design, drawing on the examples of nature itself to help a corporation establish and maintain its cultural identity.

Lyster Innovations was known for its chameleon cover material, which allowed a decorator to create an ever-changing environment without requiring a complete renovation. (LF4)

Lythian Pirates
This gang of pirates ravaged the planet Jabiim many years before the Battle of Geonosis. Many Jabiimites were killed as the Lythian Pirates pillaged cities and settlements without reason or provocation. Because the Old Republic didn't respond to Jabiim's urgent request for assistance, many Jabiimites grew to hate the Republic. Thus, when the Confederacy of Independent Systems as formed, Jabiim quickly sided with the Separatists. (SWI69, RBJ)

Lythos Nine
This was an agricultural planet. (MBS)

Lytton Sector
This section of the galaxy contained the planet Spira. (NEGC)

Lyu, Nuck
This man, a native of the planet Esseles, was one of the early Jedi Knights, during the years leading up to the First Great Schism. A Jedi Watchman, Nuck Lyu was one of the first Jedi to question the training of Cope Shykrill, after the young man took to a new, bladed weapon Lyu had designed. Lyu confided with Jedi Master Sar Agorn that Shykrill's skill with the weapon was almost too good for a student of his training. His concerns were based on the fact that it had taken Lyu two months to throw the weapon with any accuracy, while Shykrill mastered the weapon in a few sessions. When Shykrill was involved in the events that led to the deaths of two students and the suicide of a third, Master Lyu was summoned from Esseles by Sar Agorn. As Master Agorn interviewed Cope Shykrill, Master Lyu began to realize that something was amiss with the young man. When Shykrill started speaking of shadows that spoke to him, Master Lyu finally had heard enough. Using his own weapon, he beheaded Cope Shykrill, hoping to put an end to the shadows that had consumed him. (EGF)

Lyu'kij, Bem
This was one of the Bothans assigned to watch over Kathol Sector during the early years of the New Republic. As a member of the Bothan Combat Response Element, Bem's mission was to track the actions of Moff Kentor Sarne and the Imperials who still operated in the sector. Bem was distinguished by the long chin whiskers he braided into two strands at either side of his jaw. Although he was subordinate to Velst Nay'sro, Bem was not afraid to speak his mind. (E)

Lyunesi
An alien race, the Lyunesi were one of six sentient species which evolved on the planet Ryoone. A fragile species, the Lyunesi would have been wiped out by their more adaptable competitors if not for their innate ability to translate languages. In the skirmishes and eventual peace negotiations that followed, the rival species employed Lyunesi translators to hammer out the details in an unbiased manner. Those Lyunesi who traveled away from Ryoone were often employed as translators and negotiators, acting as go-betweens for the galaxy's many unusual races. From time to time, Lyunesi fall victim to their own fragility and sensitivity, plunging to hypererotic relationships with other beings. More often than not, the object of the Lyunesi's desire was killed by the intense passion developed in the relationship. This often caused problems for those Lyunesi acting as interpretors for high-ranking officials, whose wives or daughters were sometimes the object of the Lyunesi's passion. (MA)

Lywin, Willm
This Duinuogwuin Jedi Master guarded the pathway to the Cave of Truth at the Teyan Praxeum for more than 600 years, during the ancient history of the Jedi Knights. Master Willm was, at the time, more than 1,000 standard years old. Most new students were initially frightened by his huge appearance, but he was known to be a friendly and funny individual. Willm Lywin was one of the original founders of the Teyan Praxeum, and claimed to have been part of a group of "living snubfighters" which protected a mobile praxeum for several centuries beforehand. (SWJ11)

Lyyr
This was a common name among Quarren females. It meant "musical", and was generally believed to refer to high-pitched percussion instruments. (GCG)
